Chapter 25: Anxious

The corpses lined up and came straight into the hall.

Duan Yun stood beside the fire, his hand clenched into a sword finger, concentrating and on guard.

The gray donkey cleverly took a few steps back and protected Duan Yun in front of him.

Sleeping outdoors outside the city at night, having experienced the Fairy in the Red Mansion, the Female Catcher below, and the Crazy Man Who Listens to Thunder, Duan Yun thought he had seen the world.

He didn't expect that this land could give him new tricks.

Along with the empty ringing of bells, on a rainy day, a row of corpses appeared in the abandoned Taoist temple. Even though Duan Yunsuan was a skilled and courageous man, he still couldn't help feeling scared.

The zombies with their heads caged arrived at the main hall and stood in a row in an orderly manner.

The next moment, a zombie walked out.

With a swish, a rope flew out suddenly and hung on two broken pillars of the hall.

Afterwards, the zombie took off his rain-soaked hood and rang the bell.

As the sound of the empty copper bell rang, the row of zombies suddenly rushed towards Duan Yun.

Duan Yun was terrified by being stared at. He was considering taking the initiative and shooting the zombies in the head or feet. As a result, the zombies suddenly jumped up, hooked their feet, and hung upside down on the ropes.

The zombie who rang the bell began to tie two more ropes around their ankles. At a glance, the zombies looked like dried bacon, hanging in the hall.

At this time, Duan Yun had already confirmed that the "zombie" ringing the bell was a living person.

In the light of the fire, this person not only had a shadow, but also had the aura of a living person in his every move.

At this time, the man came over and saluted, saying, "My name is Huang Shi. I was driving corpses on a rainy day. I am sorry for disturbing you. Please forgive me."

Duan Yun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Driving corpses?"

The visitor smiled and said, "You look so young, you must be new to the martial arts world. My Yuanling Huang family has been driving corpses for a long time. There are tens of thousands of corpses being driven in this world, and half of them were driven by our Huang family."

Talking about his experience as a corpse-driving giant, this man looked quite proud.

Duan Yun bowed and said, "I see. I am ignorant and made a fuss out of nothing. Please don't blame me, Senior Huang."

He recalled the corpse-driving people from western Hunan in his previous life's novels and found some similarities, yet also significant differences.

At least these corpses weren't jumping around, and they didn't look like the kind of rigid zombies.

Moreover, the corpse was hung upside down on a rope like bacon, which was a situation that had never been described in the novel.

Although this hall is large, there may be only a small place to shelter from the rain. Since that place is occupied by the upside-down corpses, the corpse driver cannot be far away from Duan Yun.

He was wiping the water droplets off his frozen body, and sighing "What a horrible weather!", and he seemed to be trying to rub the fire.

At this time, Huang Shi took out a small bag of soybeans, chewed them, and said, "Want some?"

Duan Yun refused: "I have eaten."

Huang Shi didn't hesitate, just ate beans and said, "You are new to the world, so it's better to be cautious. Believe it or not, I am a good person."

Duan Yun responded: "Senior, you are joking. I just don't like eating soybeans."

Huang Shi said in surprise: "That's because you haven't eaten our Yuanling soybeans, they are delicious!"

Duan Yun answered truthfully: "I'm afraid I'll fart after eating it."

Huang Shi burst into laughter and said, "Little brother, this is very interesting. First of all, I will never fart when I eat soybeans."

I saw that Huang Shi had sparse hair, gray beard, and a pointed face. In short, he was not very good-looking.

But after talking to him, Duan Yun found that he was easy to get along with.

So he couldn't help but ask: "Senior, is there any deep meaning behind hanging these corpses?"

Huang Shi explained while eating beans: "The yin energy is heavy at night, especially in this place. However, since the feet of the corpse are off the ground, it is not connected to the ground. In addition, since the world is upside down, it is not easy for the corpse to turn into a corpse."

"Corpse? Can a corpse really transform into a corpse?" Duan Yun asked in surprise.

"Of course. We have a master from the Ren family in Yuanling. After his corpse transformed, he became a zombie king. His hands were wrapped in black iron chains, and blood flowed like fire on his body. He bit everyone he saw, and almost turned everyone in the village into zombies, causing trouble for hundreds of miles."

Huang Shi calmly told Duan Yun a story about a corpse.

"This incident is well-known in the martial arts world, but since you are new to the martial arts world, it is normal that you have not heard of it. Our Huang family spent a lot of effort to kill the corpse king, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. My great master left it there."

Huang Shi talked freely.

Duan Yun couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that there are so many tricks in this business."

I have to say, on a rainy day, in a dilapidated Taoist temple, listening to a corpse driver telling a story about corpse transformation in front of a row of upside-down corpses was very immersive and interesting.

Huang Shi smiled and said, "Young brother, you are so polite. Do you think I am old? I am not that old. I am just growing up in a hurry."

"Really?" Duan Yun said.

"Guess, feel free to guess boldly, how old am I this year?" Huang Shi suggested.

In Duan Yun's opinion, Huang Shi looked to be an old man at least in his fifties, but since the other party said so, he boldly guessed that he was younger - "Thirty-five?"

"It's bigger." Huang Shi said.

"Thirty?" Duan Yun asked in surprise.

“It’s still big.”

"It can't be twenty-five, right?" Duan Yun couldn't help but say.

"To be honest with you, in five months it will be my twentieth birthday," Huang Shi replied.

Duan Yun blinked his eyes, feeling a little dry, and said, "You are two months younger than me?"

Huang Shi stroked his sparse gray hair and responded, "By the way, I told you I'm growing up in a hurry, but I still have to call you brother."

Duan Yun: “.”

The person in front of him turned out to be someone of the same age. This surprised him as much as when he saw the female ghost in the Red Mansion, the madman who heard thunder, and the group of zombies.

The people in this world are really unique.

At this time, Huang Shi took out a water bag, took two gulps, and sighed: "Because I grew up in a hurry, no women like me since I was a child. When I played with them when I was a child, they all thought I looked like their grandfather."

"But there is one girl who is an exception. Her name is A Ling. She never dislikes my age. I have made an agreement with her that if I make enough money from this corpse-carrying business, I will marry her."

At this point, Huang Shi's anxious-looking face revealed a happy smile, and he looked a lot younger.

Duan Yun couldn't help but congratulate: "Then congratulations, Brother Huang."

"Thank you very much, thank you very much. If it weren't for the long distance to Yuanling, I would really like to invite you to the wedding."

"I happen to have some wine here, so I'd like to wish Brother Huang a happy wedding."

Duan Yun took out the wine gourd and poured some for Huang Shi.

It has to be said that since knowing that the two are of the same age, Duan Yun's social phobia has disappeared and he can talk freely.

For a moment, the sound of two people talking happily could be heard from time to time in the hall, and the eerie feeling mostly dissipated.

At this time, Huang Shi showed a distressed look again and said, "To be honest, Brother Duan, I still feel that I am not worthy of her."

Duan Yun responded: "Love is a matter between two people. Miss Ling likes you, which means you are worthy of each other."

Huang Shi said with a bit of worry: "I am mainly worried that I can't make her happy. Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Brother Duan, but as a corpse driver, I stay with corpses every day, and I always feel that I am not good at that aspect."

As a gynecologist, Duan Yun immediately caught the key point from Huang Shi's face and said, "Are you weak?"

Huang Shi nodded and said, "Alas, I am so weak that even medicine is useless."

Duan Yun suddenly perked up and said, "I have an idea."

He had not expected that his second teaching would come so soon.

Yes, his Jade Sword Posture nourishes Yin and replenishes Yang, which can make him distressed because his brother is too strong, but the corpse driver Brother Huang in front of him is too weak, which is just right for him.

Compared to passing on the full version of "The True Explanation of the Jade Sword", a lethal martial art, Duan Yun would have much less concerns if he only passed on the "nourishing yin and replenishing yang" stance training.

After all, this is only in the field of medical skills. Seven or eight out of ten doctors claim to be able to "enhance virility". His sword stake is just effective.

It can be said that "a doctor has a kind heart". He originally charged for the project, but today he will pass it on to this brother Huang who looks too anxious, and wish him a happy wedding.

Huang Shi didn't hold out much hope for this, but he still gave her face and said, "Really?"

Duan Yun was very confident and said, "Just give it a try and you'll know! I'm not a quack."

Huang Shi was surprised and asked, "Brother Duan, you are a doctor?"

"Of course, a genuine doctor from our family!"

While answering, Duan Yun automatically skipped the word "gynecology".

A gynecologist is also a doctor.
