Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 70, Uncle Nine is Here

The talisman suddenly flew up, but fell down before it reached the Yintang acupoint of the corpse.

"This……"

Chen Yulou was stunned for a moment.

Taoist Simu beside him immediately laughed and said, "It's okay. If you can activate the psychic talisman, it means the problem is not serious."

"It's probably because you haven't focused your mind yet. After all, this is your first time, and you can't do it as you please."

"So, you must concentrate."

"Do it again!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou turned his head to look at Taoist Simu and nodded, "Yes, Uncle Master!"

Then he bent down and picked up the talisman that had fallen on the corpse.

He held the talisman between his hands, took a deep breath, and after concentrating his mind and energy, he quickly formed seals while chanting: "The universe is boundless, reversing life and death, three souls and seven spirits, returning to the spirit and reborn, three souls on the left, seven spirits on the right, listen quietly to the gods' orders, and observe ominous signs, no one sees when walking, and no one knows when sitting!"

"Hurry up and obey the order!!!"

"go!!"

The next moment, the talisman flew out instantly and landed on the Yintang acupoint of the corpse.

Chen Yulou's expression brightened with joy. He pointed his right hand at the corpse and ordered, "Get up!"

Before he could finish his words, the corpse began to tremble.

But immediately, the tremor disappeared.

Chen Yulou frowned suddenly.

"Yulou, continue!" said Taoist Simu.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou immediately focused his mind and calmed down, and once again ordered the zombies: "Get up!"

The corpse trembled a few more times, but still showed no signs of standing up.

Chen Yulou didn't believe it, so he continued to try and ordered the corpse to stand up.

But then it happened ten times in a row, and the corpse only trembled a few times each time and then became motionless.

At this moment, beads of sweat were already rolling down Chen Yulou's forehead, and his body was visibly tired.

Just when Chen Yulou was about to try again, Taoist Simu reached out and grabbed his hand that was about to cast a spell.

He immediately looked at Taoist Simu.

Taoist Simu shook his head and said, "Don't try. If you can't raise the corpse, it's not because you're not focused enough, but because the Qi in your body can't support it!"

"Uncle Master, do you mean that the Qi in my body is too weak?" Chen Yulou asked in surprise.

Taoist Simu nodded immediately and said, "That's right!"

"Establishing a connection with a corpse consumes Qi and mental energy. Without enough Qi, you won't be able to raise the corpse."

"So don't try. You're already showing signs of fatigue. Continuing to try will only drain your mental energy."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou immediately nodded.

He took a look at the corpse and felt relieved. After all, his cultivation was indeed too low. After trying to resurrect the corpse more than a dozen times, he felt that his mental strength could not bear it. So even if he resurrected the corpse, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Taoist Simu thought Chen Yulou had failed to raise the corpse, and felt a little unwilling to accept it. He then comforted him, "Yulou, don't be discouraged!"

"The reason you failed to raise the corpse is not your fault, but your cultivation is too low. If you could reach the third level of Soul Nourishing, you would probably be able to raise the corpse successfully."

Taoist Simu glanced at Chen Yulou and then continued to sigh: "To be honest, I am already surprised that you can draw a spiritual talisman."

"You know, by the time I was able to draw the spirit communication talisman, my cultivation had already reached the seventh level of Soul Nourishment, and it wasn't until I reached the eighth level that I was able to successfully raise a corpse."

To be honest, Chen Yulou's talent was so strong that he couldn't help but feel jealous. There was nothing he could do, this kid was really too strong.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou quickly looked at Taoist Simu and said with a smile, "Please rest assured, uncle master, I'm not that fragile. And it's indeed as you said, my cultivation has restricted me." "Hahaha... That's right, I'm glad you can figure it out!" Taoist Simu saw Chen Yulou's relieved look, patted Chen Yulou on the shoulder, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he quickly formed seals and chanted spells in front of the corpse.

"The universe is boundless, reversing life and death... and no one knows it!"

"Hurry up as a law!"

"rise!"

In an instant, the corpse that was not successfully resurrected by Chen Yulou stood up straight.

"Take two steps back!" Taoist Simu ordered again.

The zombie immediately took two steps back and moved close to the wall.

At this moment, Chen Yulou glanced at the zombies, then looked at Taoist Simu, revealing a hint of curiosity as he asked, "Uncle Master, won't these zombies rot and stink?"

"of course not!"

Taoist Simu shook his head upon hearing this.

Seeing Chen Yulou's puzzled expression, he continued to explain, "Although these zombies are already dead, the corpse-controlling technique has gathered their souls into their bodies. Now, all they need to remain alive is a breath, and that breath is replaced by the Qi of the caster. Therefore, their bodies remain in a state of living, neither rotting nor smelling."

"Because of this, carrying corpses consumes a lot of mental energy and Qi. With my current cultivation level, I can only transport eleven or twelve corpses over short distances, and a maximum of eight over long distances."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou suddenly understood and said, "Thank you, uncle-master, for clearing up my confusion!"

"Okay, let's go!"

"And you, Jiale, why don't you hurry up and cook?" Taoist Simu glanced at Jiale standing beside him, and immediately slapped him on the back of the head.

Jiale immediately turned his head to look at Taoist Simu and said with a chuckle, "Yes, Master, I'll go right away!"

Jiale behaved very obediently. There was nothing he could do. With Chen Yulou as an example, if he displeased Taoist Simu, Taoist Simu would bring up his cultivation as an excuse.

Chen Yulou was lost in thought as he watched Taoist Simu close the door of the morgue.

At this moment, Jiale, who was about to cook, let out a surprised sound.

"Uncle?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou and Taoist Simu immediately turned their heads to look towards the entrance of the yard, and saw a figure walking into the yard.

"Master, why are you here?" Chen Yulou immediately jumped down the stairs with some surprise and went to greet him.

The person who came was none other than Uncle Nine.

"How can I not come?"

"If I don't come soon, my good disciple might be taken away by someone else!" Uncle Jiu looked at Chen Yulou and said with a smile.

Chen Yulou was stunned and immediately understood what was going on.

It must be Qiu Sheng who went back and told Uncle Jiu about Master Ikkyu asking him to enter Buddhism. This guy probably added some extra fuel to the fire, otherwise Uncle Jiu wouldn't have come.

Chen Yulou quickly laughed and said, "Master, Senior Brother must have exaggerated. I'm not a three-year-old child. How could I be abducted so easily?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu immediately smiled and said, "No, that's the best!"

"Brother!"

Taoist Simu came before Uncle Jiu and bowed.

"Junior brother!"

Uncle Jiu nodded to Taoist Simu.

Then, Taoist Simu glanced at Jiale who was still at the door, glared at him and said, "Jiale, why don't you come over and meet your uncle!"

Jiale hurried down and bowed respectfully to Uncle Jiu, saying, "Greetings, Uncle Master!"
