Chapter 115: Chapter 106: Come, help me push the coffin lid!
Translator: 549690339
In the fourth year of Daxing in Eastern Jin Emperor Yuan (321 AD), Xu Xun lived in seclusion in the ancient site of Meixian Temple in Nanchang Southern Suburbs, founded a Daoist academy, named Tai Chi Temple, which was also called “Jingming Realm” and established the Jingming Sect.
It is said that Xu Xun achieved Dao on the first day of the Lunar August in the second year of Ningkang in Eastern Jin (374 AD). On the day of his achievement, his whole family of forty-two people, including their dogs and chickens, flew into the sky and became immortals.
The allusion of one person achieving Dao and the dogs and chickens ascending to immortality might have come from this.
Xu Yang looked up the deeds of “Miraculous Salvation True Lord Miaoji” Celestial Master Xu Xun on the Internet and somewhat believed Minister Wang’s words…
If even their dogs and chickens had ascended to heaven, how could there be any descendants?
So-called “descendants of Celestial Master Xu” might just be collateral bloodlines, or even disciples and their successors… No wonder the Lu Shan Sect and the Jingming Sect fight for “orthodoxy”.
Xu Yang then consulted Wang Hou about some matters in the martial world.
Wang Hou answered without any hesitation.
He said, “I’ll talk to the Lu Shan Sect. Fighting for the Daoist lineage is fine, but they can’t use evil means. If they dare to hire Asura Sect assassins to kill people, it’s a big crime. If you agree, I can take action and take advantage of the situation to level the Lu Shan Sect.”
Wang Hou’s tone was calm.
As if in his eyes, leveling a major Daoist sect was no different from leveling a broken house.
As the top leader of the Da Xia Military Organization and the number one person m Da Xia, he had the foundation and strength to do so. Moreover, by doing so, he could not only win over Xu Yang but also deter the martial world!
Xu Yang said, “If Minister Wang takes action, I will definitely speak up… But for now, there’s no need to take action against the Lu Shan Sect. My grandpa left behind some tricks, and for now, Lu Shan Sect doesn’t dare to attack me directly.”
“Then what cultivation resources do you need?”
Wang Hou went on, “We in the Spirits Management Bureau have accumulated some treasures through excavating ancient relics and secret realms over the years. I’ll have someone bring you a list of treasures. Whatever you need just ask.”
Xu Yang smiled bitterly, “Minister Wang, you make me feel embarrassed… Do you really plan to just let me hold an honorary position?”
Wang Hou didn’t beat around the bush and chuckled, “I need you to provide a batch of Daoist talismans to our Spirits Management Bureau every month. The number of talismans shall be decided by you, and we won’t make you work for free. We will pay you according to the market price for talismans, and we’ll settle the accounts once a month. What do you think?”
It was a small matter.
There was nothing to refuse.
Xu Yang asked the question in his heart, “Minister Wang, with the foundation of the Spirits Management Bureau, you must have cooperated with some Daoist masters, right?”
I m very curious… Why are you offering me such generous terms?”
Yes.
The various conditions offered by Wang Hou were too generous, and he was even willing to level the Lu Shan Sect for Xu Yang… Keep in mind, the Lu Shan Sect was a major Daoist sect with many experts.
Couldn’t they get talismans by cooperating with them?
“Indeed, our Spirits Management Bureau has cooperated with Maoshan Sect, Dragon Tiger Mountain, and other Daoist sects. Apart from jointly establishing Daoist academies, they also provide us with a batch of Daoist talismans on time.”
Wang Hou didn’t conceal anything from Xu Yang and explained, “However, the talismans they provide are usually of average quality. The talismans drawn by real Great Masters of talismans won’t be taken out.”
Xu Yang suddenly realized.
But then, he became even more confused.
Could it be…
Are the talismans I draw of good quality?
But I have only been studying talismans for a little over 10 days… I figured it out by myself, could I be even better than those Great Masters of talismans?
After chatting for a while on the balcony, Wang Hou left, flying into the night sky, citing “busy with work” as the reason.
Xu Yang watched with fiery eyes.
Flying…who wouldn’t want that?
But you need to cultivate to Divine Transcendence Realm before you can fly.
After a long breath, Xu Yang returned to the villa.
At this moment, Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, and Yue Yuluo were all watching TV in the living room on the first floor. The three women were unaware of Wang Hou’s visit, apparently not sensing it.
Xu Yang entered the maid’s room.
As soon as he entered, the coffin lid banged, and the zombie inside asked, Junior Harrison, did a master come to our house just now? I sensed someone spying on me!”
Xu Yang was surprised.
This zombie could actually sense it?
However, upon careful thought, it was normal… after all, this fellow was at the same level as Wang Hou at his peak.
Out of nowhere, Xu Yang flicked his finger, and a ball of flame shot towards the stone coffin.
“Ding! ”
“Zombie frightened, merit points +100, physique +1.”
Inside the stone coffin, the zombie screamed, “What the fuck are you shooting at me for no reason… you scared me!”
Indeed, it was “scared”.
After providing merit points this time, no matter what tricks Xu Yang tried, the zombie was no longer responsive. Instead, it mocked, “You’re not sleeping in the middle of the night, and instead, you’re performing acrobatics for me. First, you had thunder, then you burnt fire. Are you bored out of your mind?”
Xu Yang: “…”
He was silent for a few seconds before asking, “Miss Zombie, can I ask a question… what are you zombies most afraid of?”
“Afraid?”
The zombie sneered, “Ordinary zombies do indeed have many fears, but at my level, I have long overcome those weaknesses. There is nothing in this world that scares me.”
Xu Yang, unwilling to admit defeat, found some garlic and placed it around the stone coffin.
However, the zombie remained unmoved.
He went out for another round, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find a black dog
on the street, so he couldn’t get any black dog blood.
Inside the coffin, the zombie mocked, “Are you trying to find my weakness to control me? Haha… You can give up on that, I fear nothing!”
That being said.
The tone changed, “How about you let me out, I promise not to hurt you… and even protect you!”
“Hehe.”
Xu Yang said, “You think I’d believe the lies of a zombie? During the day, you
were yelling about killing my entire family.”
Since he couldn’t gain merit from the zombie, Xu Yang decided to ignore it.
He took a cold shower, returned to his bedroom, and prepared for a good night’s sleep to catch up on his rest.
Xu Yang, who had not slept for a week, fell fast asleep within moments of lying down…
Meanwhile, Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, and Yue Yuluo finished watching TV and started scrolling through their phones for short videos.
“Hey!”
Yang Yin suddenly exclaimed, “Come and see! This live streamer is going to jump into the river… It’s only 10 kilometers away from us.”
“Really? Really?”
Yue Yuluo’s eyes lit up and said, “Why don’t we go and watch the show?”
Liu Shishi said, “That’s not very good, is it? It’s immoral for us to watch someone committing suicide.”
My elder sister… We are ghosts, so why do we care about morality?”
Yang Yin couldn’t contain her curiosity and said, “What’s more, these live streamers have no bottom line in order to gain popularity… Maybe the river jump is just a ploy to get more viewers!”
The three women discussed and decided to leave immediately, flying towards the direction where the live streamer was about to jump.
What they didn’t notice…
-was that the stone coffin in the nanny’s room was shaking slightly.
As the coffin shook, a coffin nail “pop” jumped up and fell to the ground.
These coffin nails originally had the function of sealing the stone coffin, but with Feng Zhaoqing pulling out one of the nails, the seal was broken and could be destroyed by the zombie within the coffin.
With the first coffin nail being “squeezed out”, the second coffin nail also became loose.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The coffin lid trembled, and the second coffin nail fell off, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth nails… Gradually, the coffin lid shook more and more frequently, making more and more noise, and more coffin nails were shaken out and fell to the ground.
In the second-floor bedroom.
The soundly asleep Xu Yang suddenly shuddered. He sat up in bed and perked up his ears, catching the sound of the coffin shaking and quickly changed his expression!
“Not good!”
“The zombie is breaking free!”
Xu Yang’s sleepiness disappeared instantly. Not even bothering to put on his slippers, he rushed down the stairs wearing only his boxer shorts.
He went straight to the nanny’s room and saw the stone coffin quietly lying in
the corner… with the coffin lid already half-opened.
Xu Yang turned on the light, peered into the coffin, and saw that it was lined with a white fox fur and a jade pillow, but there was no trace of the zombie!
At that moment, footsteps sounded.
Xu Yang looked back and saw a beautiful, stunning woman with a voluptuous figure, a Daoist talisman on her forehead, and holding half a roast chicken at the door.
She glanced at Xu Yang and said in a delinquent female tone, “Your body isn’t bad, Little Xu… just a bit pale. If you were a bit tan, you’d be very sexy.”
Xu Yang: “…”
He stared wide-eyed at the girl, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg, and his face showed a ghostly expression.
“What’s with that face?”
“Haven’t you seen a beautiful woman before?”
Crunch crunch.
The girl ate the roast chicken, crunching on the bones and swallowing the meat along with the bones.
“Oh, right!”
“From now on, stock up on more roast chicken at home… Make it more tender, this one is too old, and the meat is dry!”
She made quick work of the half roast chicken, then went to the stone coffin, climbed in, lay on the jade pillow and fox fur, and called out, “Little Xu, what are you staring at…? You don’t even have basic manners. Come on, help me close the coffin lid!”
PS: Continue writing, there will be more at 12 o’clock. Also, the image of the zombie can be directly based on the cover!
