After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 59

The tomb is quite large, with a main burial chamber and four side chambers. Two of them contain burial goods, and the other two contain sacrificial victims. One side chamber contains four coffins.

Inside the coffin were decaying clothes and stark white bones, each skeleton bearing a long nail between its eyebrows, gleaming with a dark light.

"A nail between my eyebrows, it looks so painful!"

Bai Chen unconsciously touched his brow and shivered.

Bai Lu pursed her lips: "These eight are all Soul-Suppressing Nails. They were taken from the coffin of that纨绔少爷 (a spoiled young master) many years later. They were driven directly into the foreheads of these people while they were still alive, using the Yin energy of the coffin nails to control these sacrificial victims. This is why these people could still protect the纨绔少爷 after they died. Servility is not engraved in the soul. Moreover, zombies are different from ghosts. Low-level zombies only have instincts and no thoughts, so they cannot give them commands."

"How vicious! People in ancient times really didn't value human life!"

“It’s the same now,” Bailu said casually. “It’s just that you haven’t reached that level yet. Let’s go to the main tomb chamber and meet the main character.”

As they spoke, the group left the side chambers and headed towards the central burial chamber. Suddenly, a few rustling sounds filled the silent space, seemingly mixed with the low growls of some animal and the sound of water.

"what sound?"

Bai Wei turned her head uneasily and looked around.

And they are now standing at the entrance to the main burial chamber.

“The seal is broken, and what’s inside is about to awaken.” Bai Lu touched the stone door in front of her and said to the two, “Stand behind me and be careful. If I move, you have to move too.”

Bai Lu's serious attitude startled Bai Wei and Bai Chen. They immediately realized that this playboy might have been a good-for-nothing before he died, but he definitely wasn't after.

They nodded and hid behind Bai Lu, but her slender figure couldn't hide them at all. They looked at each other, and the lightning-struck wood in their palms was soaked with cold sweat.

But then I thought about it again, and she's my own sister!
If it weren't for ensuring their safety, why would she let them come down?
Thinking this way, some of the fear in my heart was dispelled.

Meanwhile, Bai Lu was working on the mechanism on the stone door. The mechanism was simple and difficult for ordinary people to solve, but it was no challenge for her. After solving the mechanism, she slowly pushed open the stone door.

The stone gate emitted a heavy grinding sound, and a chilling aura swept over us.

The moment the stone gate opened, the palace lanterns on the walls lit up without being lit, and the strange runes carved on the surrounding walls emitted a flash of light, but quickly returned to calm. The faint flames flickered in the air, casting an eerie shadow.

In the center of the main burial chamber was a huge black stone coffin. What was most chilling was that this black coffin was trembling slightly and making a faint rustling sound. But if it moved too violently, the runes on the walls would immediately light up to suppress it. At this time, a low growl would come from inside the black coffin, a sound that came from deep within its throat.

Bai Chen swallowed hard: "Sis, are we going to get the corpse up? Aren't you scared? If you're not scared, give me that black donkey hoof. I'm pretty scared, anyway."

He'd heard that black donkey hooves were a cure for corpses rising from the dead, and now he desperately needed more security.

"I'm scared too."

Bai Wei's heart was pounding. She really had no experience dealing with this kind of supernatural phenomenon: "But there's only one black donkey hoof. Let's not fight over it. Let's each grab one."

"Look at your potential."

The egret said, "Don't you have lightning-struck wood?! Zombies are evil creatures, and they are most afraid of things with yang energy. Lightning-struck wood not only contains the energy of thunder, but also contains powerful yang energy, which can harm zombies—I'm going to learn something new. I'm going to open the coffin now."

As she spoke, she channeled her spiritual power into her palm and pushed the black coffin from two meters away. The nine coffin nails were pulled out by an invisible force and fell around the black coffin. Then, with a loud crash, the coffin lid was overturned and made a huge noise.

Wang Dao and Wang Jian, who were above the tomb, clearly felt the ground beneath their feet tremble. Startled, they exchanged a glance and then, as if riding on wheels of fire, leaped into the car and immediately locked the doors!
Wang Jian gripped the steering wheel tightly, trying his best to control the urge to start the car.

Honestly, in the middle of the night, two grown men are above a tomb infested with zombies. They can't do anything but wait. It would be really unreasonable for them not to run away!
So the car was started and shot off like an arrow, but after an unknown amount of time, it came back. The small five-seater car, carrying ten strong men, stopped not too far from the construction site.

The bodyguards looked completely bewildered.

I was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night when suddenly my boss dragged me to the middle of nowhere. What was he going to do with me?

We don't know.

We dare not ask!

They were all crammed together in the small car.

……

In the main tomb chamber.

The coffin was opened, and Bai Lu, who was holding a piece of jujube wood about a meter long and two fingers thick, struck by lightning, slowly took steps. Bai Wei and Bai Chen followed her nervously, and when she stopped beside the coffin, they also peeked out.

Upon seeing this, they immediately covered their mouths, otherwise, they were afraid they would vomit!

Even though I covered my mouth, my stomach was still churning.

Then look at the expressionless egret—

Waaah, their eldest sister has really become so strong. Now she can remain calm even when she sees a hideous corpse soaking in a coffin!
The coffin was filled with water, and half of the obese playboy's body was submerged in the water, emitting a foul, unknown odor.

Actually, Bai Lu didn't feel anything at all. Normal people would feel disgusted by this, but it was still within her tolerance range. After all, she had seen things that were even more disgusting in the cultivation world.

She and her senior brother had investigated a case where an evil cultivator had set up a corpse-raising ground, specifically collecting deformed corpses to raise zombies. There were conjoined twins, those with an extra arm, those with two heads, all sorts of bizarre shapes. These corpses didn't have special coffins; they were all piled up in a stone pit filled with sticky corpse-raising liquid!
That's truly disgusting!
The young master's corpse seemed to have been bloated, resembling a giant, but it was only an illusion; the young master was simply obese, which showed that he had eaten very well in his life.

His body was neither rotten nor shriveled; his bluish-gray skin still looked elastic.

"Mom, I'm really something! I've lived for over twenty years, and I never imagined I'd see a zombie one day!"

Bai Chen gasped, "Look at his fangs, his fingernails, his long hair and body hair, plus that imposing figure—he's fucking ugly—holy crap!"

The playboy, perhaps displeased by Bai Chen's comment about his ugliness, suddenly trembled violently, startling Bai Chen so much that he jumped three meters away! The playboy's clothes, worn and tattered over the years, revealed stiff, black hair protruding from the holes, two fangs bulging from his bluish-black lips, and his intertwined, black and purple fingernails. Even his hair, still growing, was soaked in water and stuck to his face, making him look utterly disgusting.

The egret sighed, "It really is featherless."

"What's wrong? Are these zombies so hard to deal with? Why don't we call Master Qingxu over?"

Bai Chen felt they had been too reckless. It's been shown in TV dramas that to deal with such evil creatures, you need more people and more strength.

Bai Lu waved his hand: "It's okay. Although the hairy zombies are of a higher level than low-level zombies like white, black, and green zombies, they are not very smart, and we have enough bravado to deal with them, so they are not too difficult to deal with."

"Zombies are also divided into levels?" Bai Wei said.

In her mind, zombies were just green-faced, fanged figures in movies wearing Qing Dynasty official robes, jumping around with their hands raised. She never imagined there were levels!

Besides, I've never seen such a fat zombie before!

The egret said, "Of course, the lowest level is the white zombie, then the black zombie, the green zombie, the feathered zombie, the flying zombie, and finally it evolves into the boneless zombie."

"Evil cultivators raise corpses. After placing the corpse in the corpse-raising ground, the corpse will start to grow fuzzy white hair after a month and turn into a white zombie. At this time, the white zombie moves slowly and is very easy to deal with because it is extremely afraid of sunlight, fire, water, chickens, dogs and people. The higher the level, the more flexible its movements and thinking. When it reaches the hairy zombie level, it will no longer be afraid of ordinary fire and sunlight. If it cultivates to the point of not dissolving bones, it will be basically no different from a living person except for not breathing."

Just as Bai Lu finished speaking, the纨绔 (wan ku) zombie suddenly sprang to his feet. He stood up straight from the coffin, raising both arms horizontally in front of his chest, and with each movement, he flung the corpse fluid all over the ground.

"what!"

Bai Wei screamed as the corpse fluid splashed onto her clothes, almost making her vomit.

Attracted by Bai Wei's scream, the spoiled zombie immediately tried to jump out of the coffin, but as soon as he made a move, the runes on the wall lit up brightly, and the spoiled zombie was immediately suppressed back. He let out a beast-like growl and fell back into the coffin, his fat face trembling, splashing corpse water all over the ground.

This time, Bai Wei learned her lesson and hid behind Bai Chen.

Bai Chen: "."

Is his life not a life?! He's so filthy it'll kill him!
The spoiled zombie had been suppressed for too long. Suddenly, it smelled the scent of living people. Its instinct to suck blood tempted it to desperately try to get out of the coffin, but it was suppressed by the runes on the wall time and time again!
But Bailu discovered that every time the runes suppressed the zombie, the light from the next suppression would dim a little. If this happened a few more times, the runes would soon be unable to suppress the spoiled zombie.

She immediately made her move, and the meter-long lightning-struck jujube wood struck the纨绔 (wan ku, spoiled young master) zombie, producing a series of sizzling sounds like roasting meat, and emitting a very unpleasant smell.

The spoiled zombie twisted its fat body angrily, raising its hands to pounce on the egret, but no matter what it did, it could not get out of the coffin and could only be whipped around by the egret with lightning-struck jujube wood.

The egret was wicked too, attacking from the left and right, from above and below. The arrogant zombie's inflexible joints couldn't block it no matter what it tried. Its bluish-gray face slowly revealed a pained expression, and its already ferocious face became even more terrifying.

Because of the strenuous exercise, the flesh on his face was shaking so much. If he were alive, how tiring it would be to spin like that!
The egret swung the lightning-struck jujube wood like a whip, and wisps of black smoke rose from the body of the纨绔 (wan ku, spoiled brat) zombie, the color of its black fur even showing a tendency to fade.

The Mao Jiang's magic power is entirely contained in its fur, making it impervious to blades and spears, as well as water and fire. Its combat strength is also extremely high. The reason it is being suppressed by Bai Lu is partly due to the runes on the wall.

The fact that its fur has faded indicates that its Yin energy is decreasing significantly. The egret controlled its strength and beat the纨绔 zombie into a black zombie when the suppressive power of the runes on the wall disappeared.

Then she stepped back and said to Bai Wei and Bai Chen, "The rest is up to you. Don't be afraid, I'm right here!"

Bai Wei and Bai Chen: "..."

Do you want to listen to what you are saying!!!
The two panicked and stood there helplessly, not knowing what to do.

Then they watched helplessly as the spoiled zombie, unrestrained, leaped three meters from the coffin and landed not far from them.

Because the egret had been beating the spoiled zombie for so long, it was somewhat afraid. However, the zombie's nature was to be bloodthirsty. Without enough blood, the zombie's body would uncontrollably shrink. It was unaware when it was sealed, but once it awoke, it needed a lot of fresh blood to replenish itself. Moreover, it had just been beaten by the egret and was severely injured. If it didn't get some blood, it would be difficult to even maintain its black zombie form.

So it set its sights on Baiwei—

"You, don't come any closer!!!"

Bai Wei was so frightened that she turned and ran, shouting as she ran, "Sister! Drop some equipment! Drop some equipment for me!!! I can't get by empty-handed!!!"

The egret kept a close eye on her, but did not offer her assistance immediately.

Bai Wei was cornered by the spoiled zombie. Her equipment hadn't arrived yet, and the zombie was about to extend its vicious, stinking claws at her. Its stench was overwhelming!

Bai Wei's mind suddenly went blank, as if it had frozen, and she couldn't remember anything.

"Bai Wei! What are you standing there for! Poke it!"

Bai Chen was extremely anxious and immediately rushed over.

Just as Bai Lu was about to make a move, suddenly, the纨绔 (wan ku, spoiled brat) zombie was pushed half a meter away, black smoke billowing from its chest. Bai Wei, holding a piece of lightning-struck jujube wood, said viciously, "Ugly thing, don't touch me!"

Bai Chen breathed a sigh of relief and stood beside Bai Wei, holding a piece of lightning-struck jujube wood.

The egret was quite pleased and gave them all the equipment she had bought during the day—a whole bag of it!

As to what is useful and what is not, that's for them to decide!

"Sister, you're truly my sister!"

Bai Chen, clutching the large bag, was on the verge of tears: "I never expected you to make us do it ourselves at a time like this, putting us into actual combat so soon! If you had this plan, you should have said so earlier! I wasn't prepared at all!!! Black donkey hoof? Where's my huge black donkey hoof—"

Before Bai Chen could find the black donkey hoof, the纨绔 (wan ku, spoiled brat) zombie came bounding over again. The two of them poked holes in it with lightning-struck jujube wood while simultaneously rummaging through their bags—
