From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 58: Toad Jaw Jumping
Huang Jianguo pondered for a moment and thought, 70% chance, that's still too risky.

He thought for a long time, and finally called the people who had been watching and asked for support.

The zombies recover too quickly, and it is obvious that ordinary soldiers are no longer able to deal with them.

Previously, we were afraid that the military mobilization would cause social panic, but now we can’t care about that. The right thing to do is to destroy that thing first.

Next, Huang Jianguo discussed the future plan and the possible weaknesses of zombies with Chen Xiyan. Ten minutes later, an urgent phone call suddenly rang.

"Reporting to the commander, two tourists have broken through the isolation line we built at the foot of Ma Yi Mountain and are heading up the mountain."

"What's going on?! Don't you know the situation on the mountain? How dare you let tourists go up!!" Huang Jianguo was furious. At this juncture, if an ordinary person went up the mountain, he would be in great danger and even he would be implicated.

"Sir, we stopped them... but they were too fast and we couldn't react in time..."

"Bullshit, with so many fences and checkpoints, who can't be stopped? If innocent people are killed or injured, who can bear the responsibility?"

Chen Xiyan suddenly had an idea and quickly stopped Huang Jianguo from scolding him. After taking the phone and asking about the caller's clothes and appearance, a smile finally appeared on his tense face.

"Commander Huang, it seems that I don't need to set up an altar or draw talismans, nor do I need to mobilize the army."

Huang Jianguo frowned, his face intimidating without anger: "What does Taoist Master Chen mean?"

Chen Xiyan stroked his graying beard and felt relieved.

"The person who can solve this problem has arrived..."

Li Yang and Chi Yanhong are very fast.

It was late autumn, and the entire sky of Ma Yi Mountain was filled with clouds, adding a bit of bleak and solemn atmosphere.

After crossing the defense line, the two climbed up the mountain with great interest. Mayi Mountain is not as majestic and steep as Mount Emei, but it has some of the green and beautiful beauty of Mount Qingcheng.

Li Yang sensed carefully and found that the concentration of spiritual energy on the Ma Yi Mountain was not very high, and only barely reached the passing line of 1.0.

"The concentration of spiritual energy on the mountain is not high, so it stands to reason that nothing powerful will appear."

Li Yang was a little confused. Judging from the situation at the foot of the mountain and his observations along the way, it was obvious that the noise made by this zombie was quite a bit.

Chi Yanhong remained silent. Her current realm was almost half a step to the innate realm, and she could not sense the existence of spiritual energy.

"Zombies actually appeared in this place. I thought zombies were something Uncle Jiu made up for movies, but I didn't expect that there really are such things."

Chi Yanhong shook his head and explained, "That's not right. Zombies have been recorded in some literary classics from the Ming and Qing dynasties. "Notes from the Yuewei Cottage", "Zi Bu Yu" and "The Tomb Road in Qinzhong" all record the deeds of zombies in detail. "Notes from the Yuewei Cottage" even classifies zombies into different categories."

Chi Yanhong pondered for a moment and then continued:

"The first level is the 'white zombie'. This type of zombie moves slowly and is extremely afraid of sunlight, so it is relatively easy to deal with.

The second level is "black zombie". If the white zombie is full of the essence and blood of cattle and sheep, the white hair on the body will fall off, and instead it will grow a few inches long black hair. However, at this time it is still afraid of sunlight and fire, and its movements are slower.

The third level is “jumping zombie”. The black zombie absorbs blood, and its black hair falls off. It starts to move mainly by jumping, and the jumping steps are fast and far.

Judging from what we have seen so far, this zombie should be a jumping zombie."

After saying this, Chi Yanhong frowned slightly: "But the spiritual energy has been extinguished for hundreds of years, how did this zombie survive and revive?"

Li Yang was also a little confused. "Let's find that guy first. I want to see the true face of the so-called zombie."

Although zombies have a big name, they are mostly demonized in movies and TV shows. One of these guys is innate, and the other is half a step away from being innate, so naturally they are not afraid of them.

Li Yang and Chi Yanhong looked as if they were taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, but their pace was not slow.

After passing through the woods and several towering banyan trees, a wall suddenly appeared in front of them. Li Yang and Chi Yanhong walked around the wall and found a long spiral stone staircase. A door lintel had collapsed among the moss, and the rotten old wood emitted a faint scent of incense.

The mountain torrent had just passed, and there was no road on the Ma Yi Mountain. Suddenly, a dilapidated temple appeared. Li Yang was slightly stunned.

"There seems to be someone inside."

Chi Yanhong reminded him that there were a few spots of black blood on the stone steps, extending all the way into the ruined temple.

The two looked at each other and climbed the stairs.

When you enter the temple, you will see a vast ruin. Most of the gate and walls of the temple have collapsed, the eaves with carved beams and painted buildings have been eroded by wind and rain, and only a few drops of red paint are left on the walls.

Following the bloodstains and groans, Li Yang finally found the unconscious Gao Miao under a pillar.

Gao Miao's body was scratched by branches and stones, and there were few intact parts left. The wound on his right arm was so deep that the bone could be seen, and it emitted a foul odor.

Li Yang frowned, covered his mouth and nose, and squatted down to check.

An extremely cold and filthy aura was attached to the wound, constantly corroding the surrounding flesh and blood. Gao Miao's face turned pale due to the torture, and he had not much breath left.

"This should be the corpse poison in the rumors." Chi Yanhong looked at Gao Miao's arm and looked reluctant.

Li Yang nodded. This corpse poison seemed to be formed by the bad luck of mountains and rivers mixed with some messy filth, which was very harmful to ordinary people.

Taking out a jade pendant from his body, Li Yang chanted the Golden Light Spell to form the Golden Light Taboo and placed the jade pendant on the little soldier.

"Jin Guanghui can temporarily save his life. This corpse poison is mixed with some biochemical toxins, which I cannot remove. Let's wait for their people to deal with it."

Before leaving, Li Yang transferred some spiritual energy to Gao Miao to sort out his meridians.

Since he was a child, Li Yang has had a good impression of these PLA soldiers. After all, this little soldier was injured by zombies in order to protect the people living down the mountain. Li Yang is full of respect for him both emotionally and rationally.

Coming out of the center of the temple ruins, Li Yang found many traces of the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties after a quick look. He couldn't help feeling regretful when he saw how dilapidated it was.

When he reached the door, Chi Yanhong suddenly discovered a series of footprints at the bottom of the stone steps, as if something had stopped here impatiently but did not go up in the end.

"This little soldier must have been chased by zombies and had nowhere to go, so he hid in the temple. Although this temple is dilapidated, it has a long history. I guess there are some things that make the zombies afraid to enter the temple."

Li Yang nodded. Taoism and Buddhism are both traditional religions. Now that Taoism is beginning to emerge in the world, there is no reason for Buddhism to remain silent.

"Let's go and see what this zombie is all about."

The zombie had stayed here before, which in Li Yang's eyes meant that its whereabouts had been completely revealed. He and Chi Yanhong quickly quickened their pace to catch up.
