The ultimate master in the city

After determining that He Tou Zhai was located in the northwest of this town, with a single road leading to it and not easy to get lost, the three set off overnight, hoping to avenge Monk Yuan Zhi as soon as possible and then return to Guan Xian Town to rest. Traveling through the mountains in such heavy snow would be exhausting for anyone.

Two miles outside the town, there was no light at all. It was all dark forest, and the roads, covered with melted snow, were muddy and very sticky.

Monk Yuanzhi complained incessantly, "This was probably the same level the Red Army was at when they crossed the grasslands back then. By the time we get there, I'll have lost three pounds."

Zhou Fengchen shook the mud off his feet and said, "Why don't we go back? I also think it's ridiculous to go through all that trouble to get revenge."

Monk Yuanzhi was frustrated. "No way! I was beaten up like a grandson. If I don't get revenge, I'll feel miserable for the rest of my life."

Zhou Fengchen and Zhang Shisan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Zhang Shisan remembered something and asked, "By the way, monk, you said you hypnotized a woman, what did she look like?"

Monk Yuanzhi got excited, "I'm not exaggerating, she's absolutely gorgeous, in her thirties, with a slim waist, a big butt, a pair of captivating eyes that keep blinking, and breasts... oh my! As big as basketballs."

Zhang Shisan put himself in that situation and couldn't help but shudder. "Isn't this deformed? What kind of aesthetic sense do you have?"

Zhou Fengchen, however, perked up and asked, "Is it really as big as a basketball?"

Monk Yuanzhi rubbed his nose. "That's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's not far off."

Zhou Fengchen chuckled dryly: "Did you massage me after you hypnotized me?"

Monk Yuanzhi laughed heartily, "Of course! He even sprayed my face with milk. When I tasted it, damn it, it wasn't sweet enough."

Zhou Fengchen and Zhang Shisan exchanged a glance and then burst into strange laughter, "This boast is so convincing, it's like the truth."

"Hehehe..."

The three of them chatted as they walked, and they didn't feel tired at all. Before they knew it, they had walked more than ten miles. All around them was an old forest that never changed. It was pitch black, and the wind howled when it blew, which was quite frightening.

But all three were Buddhist and Taoist masters and were completely unaware of what was happening. At this point, the conversation shifted from the woman to their life ideals.

Zhang Shisan said seriously, "I have a lot of ideals. First, I want Shangguan Xianyun to be my girlfriend, to let me bully her and protect me. Second, I want to be the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, to seduce female disciples from time to time, then embezzle incense money, drive Mercedes and BMWs, and eat barbecue and visit brothels every day."

"Old Zhang is so honest!" Monk Yuanzhi gave a thumbs up and said, "My ideal is much more upright than yours. First, I want money, lots of money, at least a million or two. Then... I'll gamble and whore every day. When the money runs out, I'll get lots more money, and then I'll gamble and whore again. Ah! Life is so wonderful."

"Upright my foot, hahaha..." Zhou Fengchen and Zhang Shisan burst into strange laughter.

After they finished, Zhang Shisan and Monk Yuanzhi looked at Zhou Fengchen together and asked, "What is your ideal?"

Zhou Fengchen rubbed his nose, wanting to ramble on like them, but he couldn't come up with anything. He sighed and said, "I don't have your high level of awareness. The first person to ask me about my ideal was my third-grade homeroom teacher. I said I wanted to be a Taoist master when I grew up, to exorcise ghosts and demons. My teacher slapped me and said that was feudal superstition. He said I should be a scientist or a writer when I grew up, understand?"

Later, my dad asked me again, and I learned my lesson and said I wanted to be a scientist. But I got beaten up again. My dad said, "You want to be a scientist? Scientists don't need your kind of ideas."

My dreams have been shattered! I have no dreams left. If I had to say I had one… I'd want to go back to the past, to live with my dad. I miss him.

After saying that, he didn't say another word, just kept walking forward with his head down.

Zhang Shisan and Monk Yuanzhi looked at each other and quickly followed. Just as they were about to speak, Zhou Fengchen suddenly shushed them and pointed to the hillside not far from the road.

Several flashlights were shining on the hillside, and seven or eight men could be seen digging something, digging very hurriedly.

Zhou Fengchen and his two companions watched with curiosity. What were these people doing? They tiptoed closer and peered out from behind a clump of grass.

They discovered that the people were digging a grave mound; the soil was very sticky and difficult to dig, it looked like a lot of work.

Zhou Fengchen waved his hand, meaning let's go, there's nothing to see here.

The monk Yuanzhi whispered furtively, "Have you ever heard of tomb raiders?"

Zhou Fengchen and Zhang Shisan lowered their voices and asked, "What do you mean?"

Monk Yuanzhi said, "Are these people digging for gold and silver? They're profiting from the dead; it's utterly immoral. It wouldn't be too much for us to double-cross them, would it?"

Zhou Fengchen shook his head. "It's boring."

Zhang Shisan became interested. "Let's wait and see. Anyway, the corpse driver's home is there, so he can't escape. I'm very curious to see what we can dig out of this grave."

Zhou Fengchen was at a loss. "Then let's wait and see."

The three of them squatted motionless, craning their necks to stare.

The group dug for twenty minutes until they finally found the coffin. They stopped digging, three men held up flashlights, and the other four men went to lift the coffin lid.

Zhou Fengchen and his two companions were even more excited than the others. They imagined robbing the gold and silver treasures they found, and they thought it would be incredibly thrilling.

Click!

boom!

The coffin lid was lifted, and seven or eight men craned their heads to look inside. Then, with a strange cry of "Ah!", they scattered in a flurry.

Zhou Fengchen and the other two were taken aback. What did that mean?

creak-

A harsh scraping sound came from the coffin, and soon a figure stood up straight.

Following the beam of the flashlights thrown down by the group, one could see a person standing up from the coffin, dressed in tattered Qing Dynasty official robes, with a rotten official hat and plume on his head. His withered face was covered with green hair like bronze, and his red eyes were rolling around.

"Damn it!" Zhang Shisan cursed, "A green-haired zombie?"

Zhou Fengchen frowned and said, "Are those people crazy?"

Zhang Shisan shushed him, "Don't breathe! This thing's scent is overwhelming! We don't need to fight it at night!"

The three of them immediately held their breath.

The green-haired zombie bounced and spun around inside the coffin, making strange "ooh-ooh" noises, then suddenly leaped out of the coffin and chased after the fleeing group of people.

Zhou Fengchen and the other two then let go of each other's hands, got up and ran to the hilltop, and looked into the coffin together.

There was nothing inside; the coffin was almost completely rotten.

Zhou Fengchen frowned and said, "This group of people dug up a grave at night, and then a zombie jumped out of the coffin. This whole thing seems so strange."

Zhang Shisan squatted down and touched the joint between the coffin lid and the body, saying, "It's quite strange. The joint between the coffin lid and body is very clean, without any rotten wood chips or dirt, which means it wasn't opened for the first time. The key is that there's nothing inside the coffin. Are tomb raiders really that clueless?"

The two looked at each other, both somewhat confused.

"I have a feeling..." Monk Yuanzhi suddenly scratched his head and said, "Among the men who just dug up the grave, one of them is the same passerby who gave us directions in town."

I like the novel "The Strongest Master in the City".
