"That's the coffin. That hand came out of that coffin."

"I was packing up funeral supplies when I accidentally bumped into the coffin. Suddenly, a hand reached out from inside the coffin, and it was holding a few pieces of paper money."

Mona's words made Chongyun cautious. If a spirit could become an evil spirit in a place like the Hall of Rebirth, which deals specifically with corpses and ghosts, then this evil spirit must be extraordinary.

"Xingqiu, Mona, you two hide to the side first. I'm going to the coffin to deal with that evil spirit."

"Chongyun, be careful."

After giving Chongyun a few words of advice, Xingqiu led Mona a few steps away from the coffin. However, Xingqiu did not put away the sacrificial sword in his hand, so that he could rescue Chongyun immediately if he encountered any danger.

Arriving at the coffin, Chongyun took a deep breath as he looked at the already closed coffin. As long as it wasn't an evil spirit like that giant octopus, Chongyun had never been afraid. It seemed that today would be the first day for Chongyun to deal with evil spirits.

"Demon, reveal yourself at once!"

With that, Chongyun yanked open the coffin lid, and a talisman drawn with ice elements appeared in front of him. Seeing that the coffin was filled with various funeral supplies, Chongyun didn't think too much about it and directly imprinted the talisman in front of him into the coffin.

In an instant, the ice element blasted the valuable coffin open, scattering various funeral supplies all over the ground. Chongyun scratched his head in confusion. He hadn't sensed any evil aura in the coffin, but Mona's terrified expression didn't seem like she was lying.

While taking a shower in the bathroom, Hu Tao heard a ping-pong sound and her eyes narrowed. "Damn it, could it be some blind thief trying to steal something from my ancestral hall?"

Thinking of this, a good idea suddenly popped into Hu Tao's mind. After putting on her clothes, Hu Tao tiptoed out of the bathroom and into Su Bai's room. After putting on the sunglasses that Su Bai had bought from Li Ben, she put on the zombie costume that she had just made, the same style as Qi Qi's.

"I originally intended to use these clothes to build a good relationship with Qiqi, but I didn't expect that before we could even establish a good relationship, I would have to use them in this way."

"This thief is really something, stealing from the Rebirth Hall in broad daylight. Does he think he can bully me?"

Hu Tao looked at her new look in the mirror with satisfaction. This look was exactly the same as Qi Qi's. So, wake up, it's time to hunt.

At this moment, in the chaotic hall of the Hall of Rebirth, Chongyun did not sense any evil spirits at all, which made him somewhat discouraged. Could it be that there are no weaker evil spirits in this world? If they were all the size of that giant octopus, wouldn't he, a Taoist priest, become a laughing stock?

"Chongyun, don't be so discouraged. Maybe Miss Mona was mistaken this time."

"In a life of just over a hundred years, you are bound to encounter evil spirits."

Xingqiu comforted Chongyun, saying that his friend was also puzzled. Despite being a Taoist priest, he could never encounter any evil spirits. He wondered if this was good luck or bad luck.

"But I really saw a zombie just now..."

Before Mona could finish speaking, she saw a figure come down from the second floor of the Hall of Rebirth. No, to be precise, it should be said that it jumped down. The sound of its feet hitting the ground made Mona's legs go weak and she knelt down on the ground.

Xingqiu, noticing something amiss, looked up and nearly cried out in surprise at what he saw. "Holy crap, there really are zombies in the Hall of Rebirth!"

Seeing that his good brother hadn't spoken for a while, Chongyun thought that Xingqiu was worried about him, so he composed himself and gave Xingqiu a smile.

"Xingqiu, I'm all better now, don't worry."

"Hmm? You look terrible. Are you sick?"

Xingqiu didn't answer Chongyun's question, but instead asked Chongyun a question in return, his face pale.

"Chongyun, does your family of exorcists have any methods to deal with zombies?"

"Of course I have them, but I didn't bring them with me. Xingqiu, why are you suddenly asking about this? Are you interested in zombies?"

"If your novel is about zombies, then I can explain it to you."

Seeing that his good brother seemed very interested in zombies, Chongyun opened his mouth and prepared to explain zombies to Xingqiu. Chongyun was sure that no one knew more about zombies than their family of exorcists, except for little zombie Qiqi.

"No, I think we should be running for our lives right now."

As he spoke, Xingqiu grabbed Chongyun, who was still unaware of what was happening, and ran towards the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth. Before they could even step out of the door, Xingqiu felt his head hit something hard.

Chapter 187 Zombies (2)

"Hey, who is it? Don't you know to look up when you're walking?"

Paimon sat on the ground, clutching her head. She wondered what had gotten into her head; every time she got hurt, it was always her clever head that was injured.

"Paimon, stop talking and run! There are zombies in the Hall of Rebirth!"

"I'm not afraid of zombies. Wait, zombies? That's just Qiqi. What's there to be afraid of? You should apologize to me right now."

Paimon stood with her hands on her hips and her head held high, looking arrogant. With Ying and Su Bai by her side, she was very confident because Su Bai and Ying would never stand by and watch her be bullied.

At this moment, Su Bai was also a little puzzled. Zombies? He hadn't sensed any zombie aura in the Hall of Rebirth, and even if there were zombies, shouldn't the zombies be the ones running away? Why was Xing Qiu running out in such a panic?

Are you looking for me?

A delicate little hand quietly landed on Xingqiu's shoulder, and a soft voice gave Xingqiu goosebumps. He mechanically turned his head and saw a strange man wearing sunglasses standing behind him.

"Aaaaaah, Su Bai, help me!"

Before Xingqiu could even call out, Mona cried out first. Perhaps feeling unsafe inside the Hall of Rebirth, Mona used a teleportation technique to hide behind Su Bai.

Feeling the strength with which Mona was gripping his tail, Su Bai realized for the first time that Mona seemed to have the talent to become another Shen He. Perhaps once Mona and Sister Shen He became familiar with each other, Mona could become a melee mage.

The thought of Mona turning into a violent astrologer wielding magical artifacts made Su Bai feel sorry for Mona's enemies. Magical artifacts, whether book-shaped or made of other materials, were of top-notch quality.

When Su Bai was young, Yan Fei took him to the mountains to find amber. When Yan Fei smashed the amber with the box containing the sun and moon, Su Bai was completely dumbfounded.

"Hey, there really are zombies! Wait, why are there zombies in the Hall of Rebirth!"

"Could it be that Hu Tao buried Qi Qi, and Qi Qi's elders came out to settle scores with Hu Tao?"

Paimon tilted his head and speculated. Combining what he had heard from Qiqi about her impression of Hu Tao, Paimon felt that his speculation was very likely.

"That's not right either. If Qiqi really had elders, she wouldn't be working at Bubulu."

"Speaking of which, it seems like I haven't seen Qiqi in Bubu Lu for a long time. Last time I went to Bubu Lu, Mr. Baishu asked us to help him look for Qiqi. If Hu Tao really buried Qiqi, then all of this makes sense!"

"Ying, shouldn't we go and tell Keqing about this now?"

The more Paimon talked, the more she felt that Paimon's thinking made sense, and the more she talked, the more she felt that this was the truth. Ying rolled her eyes at Paimon. Didn't this little fool realize that the zombie in front of her was actually Kurumi in disguise? In her memory, Kurumi's chest was flat.

"Paimon, what should you say when you go to Keqing?"

"Of course it's child trafficking."

"But if I remember correctly, Qiqi seems to be several thousand years old."

Su Bai's words confused Paimon. What was that? Qi Qi was several thousand years old. But thinking about it, it made sense. It was normal for Qi Qi to be a bit old as a zombie.

"Then walnuts are harmful to others, that's right, they are harmful to others."

"But Qiqi is a zombie, not a human, so this charge is invalid."

Su Bai pinched Paimon's chubby little face. What could be more fun than teasing Paimon? Paimon was stumped by Su Bai's words. After thinking for a while, Paimon couldn't come up with a reason, so he started attacking Su Bai's tail.

"Gentlemen, stop watching the show and hurry up and save the person!"

"I feel like this zombie is about to bite my neck again."

Xingqiu was extremely anxious when he saw Su Bai and the others chatting and laughing at the door. He could already feel the cold wind on the back of his neck after being grabbed by the zombie.

Wait, a cool breeze? A zombie can breathe? ??? Xingqiu immediately realized something was wrong. Whose zombie can breathe? Does he really think the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce doesn't know anything? He's from Boyue Qunshu, okay?

"Alright, alright, Hu Tao, stop scaring people. Look how you've made Xing Qiu pale."

Su Bai removed the sunglasses from the zombie's face, revealing a pair of familiar plum blossom eyes to Xing Qiu. This made Xing Qiu cough awkwardly twice, as his performance just now was indeed embarrassing.

"Xingqiu, the zombie that the sect leader is dressed up as looks a lot like one, doesn't it? Hehe, even you, who likes to read, were scared."

"Master Hu, how could you do this? Don't you know that scaring someone can be deadly?"

Upon realizing the zombie was actually Kurumi in disguise, Mona grabbed Kurumi's shoulders and shook her violently. Kurumi gave her a forced smile.

"Hehe, I thought it was a thief who came to the Hall of Rebirth that I dressed like this. I mainly wanted to scare the thief, but I didn't expect it to be you guys."

"So, does that mean the hand in the coffin at the beginning was yours?"

"Yes, I was so tired that I accidentally fell asleep in the coffin. You woke me up after you touched the coffin."

Seeing Mona's face growing darker, Hu Tao hurriedly took out a piece of paper with various dish names written on it from her bosom and handed it to Mona.

"Mona, this is the menu from Wanmintang. I was planning to treat you to dinner tomorrow. Take a look and see what you'd like to eat."

This method successfully drew Mona's attention to the menu, and Paimon, also quite interested, joined Mona's side. In an instant, the two foodies began a heated discussion.

When Xingqiu came to his senses, he saw Chongyun looking dazed and reached out to pat Chongyun on the shoulder. Chongyun only reacted after being patted by Xingqiu.

"Huh? What happened? Is something wrong, Xingqiu?"

"Chongyun, what are you thinking about so seriously? I was just kidnapped by Hu Tao disguised as a zombie."

"Well, I thought you could tell that it was Hu Tao disguised as a zombie, so I didn't make a move."

Xingqiu's lips twitched a few times. So he was the only one who didn't realize that the zombie was Hu Tao in disguise? That was too embarrassing. But compared to that, Xingqiu was more concerned about what Chongyun was thinking just now.

"It's nothing, it's just that the person in front of me looks a bit like one of my relatives."

Xingqiu glanced at Shen He, who was silent beside Su Bai, and then at Chongyun beside him. Apart from both of them possessing the Eye of God with the Ice Attribute, he couldn't see any similarity between the two.

Although it didn't look like it, that didn't stop Xingqiu from urging Chongyun to go forward and ask for clarification. Xingqiu nudged Chongyun.

“Chongyun, instead of hesitating here, why don’t you go up and ask him directly?”

As he spoke, Xingqiu silently took out a camera to record the moment. After receiving encouragement from Xingqiu, Chongyun gritted his teeth and went directly to Shenhe, blushing as he asked.

"Excuse me, are you my aunt?"

(Happy Children's Day, brothers! The Night Orchid banner is open now. I hope you all get lucky with your pity pulls and get two rare items in ten pulls.)

Chapter 188 An Accident in the Kitchen

"Su Bai, you're here. Would you like to find a place to sit down and rest? I'll start preparing our dishes after I've finished making the dishes the master ordered."

After greeting Su Bai and the others, Xiang Ling rushed into the kitchen. Smelling the aroma in the air, Paimon and Mona almost followed the scent into the kitchen.

However, as an astrologer, Mona had at least some self-control. Although she really wanted to go to the kitchen to see what delicious food Xiangling was making, she considered that Xiangling's cooking skills might not be passed on to outsiders, and that her presumptuous visit would put Xiangling in a difficult position. So Mona held back.

Paimon, on the other hand, didn't have so many concerns. Just as Paimon flew into the kitchen to see what delicious food Xiangling was making, Xiangling happened to pour a whole plate of Jueyun peppers into the pot and stir-fry them over high heat.

The hot oil and the Sichuan peppercorns, combined with the flames of the crispy rice crust, created a fire that rose directly from the pot, leaving Paimon completely stunned. It was the first time she had ever seen cooking done in such a flamboyant way.

Before the flames completely died down, Xiangling picked up the sliced ​​pork from Qingquan Town and poured it into the pot. The high-quality pork turned slightly brown in the pot, and its unique aroma spread throughout the pot.

"This smells so good, cough cough cough, why is it so pungent?"

Smelling the meat, Paimon took a deep breath. The pungent fumes mixed with the heat choked Paimon, who was standing right by the vent, and he tumbled headfirst into the window frame because he wasn't paying attention to it.

With a loud thud, accompanied by Paimon's scream and Xiangling's exclamation, Paimon fell hard into the pot where Xiangling was still stir-frying pork.

"Aaaaaah, Ying, help me!"
