I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

That's what a true master is like!

Seeing that Lin Yi was about to run away, Wang Jinxuan didn't care about being reserved anymore. He ran a few steps, leaped onto the horse, and then hugged Lin Yi tightly.

Since I've already hugged him once, it shouldn't be a problem to hug him from behind this time. We're all free spirits, we don't stand on ceremony.

What are you doing?

Wang Jinxuan held Lin Yi's waist tightly and said playfully, "I want to go with you. Anyway, I'm already out of the city. If you don't take me, I'll tell my father that you're bullying me."

"Your father won't believe it."

"Then I'll say you were being disrespectful to me."

As he spoke, Wang Jinxuan grabbed Lin Yi's hand and placed it on his thigh.

Lin Yi was dumbfounded. Could it be that something was given away for free like this?

Speaking of which, these thighs are quite bouncy. Even though I pinched them through the clothes, they felt pretty good.

Lin Yi could see her determination; unless he knocked her unconscious and tied her to a tree, she would cling to him.

When a person is sitting on a horse, disaster may strike from the sky.

Having this rich girl as a wife is just bad luck.

Lin Yi was silent for a moment before saying, "Actually, if you want to make a false accusation, you only need to say it; there's no need to actually take action."

Wang Jinxuan: "..."

That seems to be correct.

Now she finally knew how to be shy, and silently moved Lin Yi's hand away from her thigh. Wang Jinxuan felt hot all over and was at a loss.

But Fei Du was running very fast at this moment, so she had to quickly hug Lin Yi.

Smelling the strong masculine aura emanating from Lin Yi, she felt her head spinning a little.

Leaning against Lin Yi's back, she dared not speak again.

Unfortunately, Wang Jinxuan did not have the same stunning figure as He Dong and Qin Shi. Although she was tall and had long legs, her other advantages were not particularly outstanding.

Even though Lin Yi was dressed rather lightly, he didn't feel it very deeply.

I don't know if this wave resulted in a loss or not, but anyway, let's just keep going for now!

This was Wang Jinxuan's first time riding a horse on a long journey, and he was sharing a ride with someone else. The journey to Linjiang Town was long, and it took him an hour and a half to cross the river. By the time he arrived in the town, it was already dusk.

It wasn't even completely dark yet, but there was already no one to be seen in the town; it looked desolate and barren.

Wang Jinxuan's legs were so weak he could barely stand. He kept rubbing his bottom and trembling as he followed Lin Yi. Fei Du, on the other hand, walked in one direction on its own. Lin Yi followed it, and soon they arrived at the post station of the Jingye Division in Linjiang Town.

Xingsha County has many subordinate counties and towns. Currently, Jingye Division only retains basic strength in Xingsha County. The other subordinate counties and towns only send two or three unranked personnel. Even if they kill some young ghosts, they may fail, let alone slay demons.

However, they can accept reports and pass the information to Xingsha County, so that the Jingye Division in Xingsha County can send someone to handle it. Because the work of being sent out is too arduous, the places under the jurisdiction of counties and towns are not called Jingye Divisions, but only post stations, and the people guarding them are on duty in shifts, changing every two months.

When Lin Yi arrived at the post station, Guan Buping was already there, holding a black dog and bleeding it.

"Is this some kind of melodramatic 'exorcism' tactic?"

Upon seeing this scene, Wang Jinxuan became excited, forgetting that his buttocks were still throbbing.

When Guan Buping heard the woman's voice, he looked up in surprise and saw Wang Jinxuan. He immediately felt terrible.

Good heavens, do the children of your prefectural governor always run off to wherever trouble comes?

Chapter 36 Maybe I'm a genius

Lin Yi briefly explained how he brought Wang Jinxuan over, which gave Guan Buping a headache.

"This is no safe place. Be careful to protect her later."

Although Wang Jinxuan came with Lin Yi voluntarily and even used some tricks, if Wang Jinxuan really loses his life here, it will be considered that a grudge has been formed between her and the Prefectural Governor's Mansion.

"Don't worry, I'm very skilled in martial arts, I don't need your protection."

In front of Guan Buping, Wang Jinxuan became pretentious. Lin Yi completely ignored her words and asked Guan Buping, "Brother Guan, you're here a bit early. What's the situation now?"

If there's only one female corpse that has turned into a zombie, then it's not a big problem.

Even if we disregard Guan Buping and Lin Yi, any ordinary Jingye Division patrol officer could easily kill them.

However, if everyone bitten by the female corpse became infected, then the situation would be different.

The way zombies increase their strength is extremely unique. They don't level up by sucking blood, but by infecting others. For example, if a first-generation zombie infects a second-generation zombie, and the second-generation zombie infects more third-generation zombies, the first-generation zombie's strength will increase. And if a third-generation zombie infects more fourth-generation zombies, the first and second-generation zombies will also increase in strength.

This model is similar to pyramid schemes.

The more downlines you develop, the stronger your upline will become.

"No one at that inn, including the innkeeper and passing cart drivers and merchants, survived. Moreover, these zombies are very cunning; they know to hide during the day. I led a search for a long time but couldn't find any trace of them. However, I'm certain they will come to town at night, so I told everyone to close their doors. Later, I'll use dog blood to draw some talismans to ward off evil spirits, at least to keep the area safe."

Guan Buping wasn't a specialist in talisman making, but he had some understanding of it. He could make the simplest talismans without much mental effort; if he used the right materials, he could draw them in one go.

Talismans are far more effective than swords in dealing with such evil spirits.

Speaking of talismans, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the Nine Talismans True Explanation.

He finished reading it, but hadn't started cultivating yet.

But he might also be able to draw talismans.

Seeing Guan Buping prepare the paper and dog blood for drawing talismans, Lin Yi felt a little itchy, but dared not show off in front of others. So he secretly took three talisman papers and said to Guan Buping, "I've traveled a long way, I need to go to the restroom first."

"I also need to go."

Wang Jinxuan had become a tagalong, following Lin Yi wherever he went. Lin Yi was helpless. He had only wanted to find a quiet corner to secretly draw a couple of talismans to test his skills, but she followed him, so he had no choice but to go to the outhouse.

For a proper cultivator to draw talismans, even if they don't need to burn incense and bathe every time, they should at least be neatly dressed and in a quiet and elegant environment. Only in this way can they have a high success rate.

After all, the essence of talismans is to communicate with the divine through words, and to do so, one must be sincere.

After reading the Nine Talismans True Explanation, Lin Yi gained a deeper understanding of talismans.

The so-called seeking of God is actually seeking of oneself.

All rituals are simply about focusing one's attention, imagining a god communicating with you, and then writing it down on paper, thus gaining divine power.

Now that we know these things, we don't care too much about the location for drawing the talismans.

There are three essential elements for the formation of a talisman: a carrier, a yang-containing object, and the mind.

The higher the quality of the talisman, the higher the requirements for these three elements.

The medium is the talisman paper. Lin Yi took three sheets of paper. The yang-containing items are the blood of living creatures, cinnabar, and other items containing yang energy. Therefore, when necessary, one can use their own blood to draw talismans, which may be even more powerful.

Lin Yi has already obtained the blood.

I secretly stained my clothes with a little dog blood before, and now it comes in handy.

Now all we need to consider is what type of symbol to draw.

Lin Yi didn't know much about those basic runes, only the nine Heavenly-level runes.

These nine runes each have different uses, including killing, defense, exorcising evil, sealing, speed, stealth, rejuvenation, formation, and concentration. Lin Yi figured that what he needed most was defense, escape, and stealth.

I hope all three talismans will work.

He took the blood-stained belt and began to inscribe a concealment talisman.

The nine-character inscription is easy to read: "Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing." However, each character doesn't seem to be written by a mortal. Lin Yi sketched it out in his mind many times before taking the blood-stained belt, half-squatting in a horse stance, placing the talisman on his thigh, and writing it in one stroke. The clear light dimmed, and the talisman actually became a complete work.

However, this talisman did not have the power of a Heaven-level talisman. Lin Yi only drew it once, and the yellow paper could only withstand one stroke from him. If he drew it again, the medium would not be able to bear it.

But it still has some effect; it should be able to fool ordinary people and some low-level ghosts without any problem.

The secret technique is complete!

With one stroke, Lin Yi drew two more, both completed in one go. The speed of the "walking" secret script and the defensive "columning" secret script seemed to pose no difficulty for Lin Yi.

"Could it be that I'm actually a genius in the cultivation of divine powers?"

Looking at the three finished talismans in his hand, Lin Yi was surprised to find that his talent might be a little too good.

He put the talisman away, keeping it for future use.

As he exited the outhouse, he saw Wang Jinxuan waiting for him.

This tagalong is unbelievable. Lin Yi can't do anything with her. She's a bit annoying, but when he tries to get rid of her, she looks at him with an expression that says, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me." Her big, bright eyes shine especially when she's begging for mercy. Lin Yi is at his wit's end. This girl, in the end, still deserves a good beating from society.

"Let's go, it's getting late. Be careful later and stay behind me."

"Yes, I knew you would protect me."

Wang Jinxuan obediently agreed and even said some nice words. Lin Yi had no choice but to sigh and walk ahead.

Wang Jinxuan stared intently at him, her heart filled with excitement.

You still say you're not a master?

I saw what he was doing when he drew the talisman!

Staying by Lin Yi's side will definitely keep me safe.

Although she was a bit mischievous, she wasn't a clueless naiveté. As the saying goes, at home you rely on your parents, but when you're out in the world, you rely on your friends.

Now, Lin Yi is her good friend.

Guan Buping was also drawing talismans, but he only drew three simple ones, giving one to Lin Yi and one to Wang Jinxuan. The rest of the dog blood was to be used to splatter at the entrance of the town to exorcise evil spirits.

"There might be a tough battle later, Miss Wang. Just stay in town with Feidu. If the situation changes, have Feidu take you away."

"Okay, I understand. I won't be a burden to you."

She readily agreed, but she had traveled a long way, her backside was practically worn out, she had hugged Lin Yi the whole way, and even let him touch her thigh, so she wasn't just here to check in and leave.

We're not talking about actually going into battle, but at least we should be in the closest possible position to the battlefield so that we can feel involved!

Chapter 37 A large wave of zombies is approaching

The main roads leading in and out of Linjiang Town were guarded by able-bodied men. Guan Buping and Lin Yi waited on the northern side.

Yesterday, Chen Sheng stayed at a guesthouse in the north of the town.

The zombie incident happened last night. After Chen Sheng reported the case to the Jingyesi post station in the town, the post station's patrol officers went to investigate.
