Chapter 81 - Losing the Corpse

Liang Houzai and I ran to the platform together, and found that there was no ladder or something under the platform that was more than one person tall, so we could only climb up with bare hands. It seemed that no one had cleaned the place for a while, and a thin layer of dust fell on the table. I used the eight-step magic move to rush up to the platform in three steps. Because the third step was too big, I accidentally fell and rubbed all over the dust.

Liang Houzai helped me up, and we both entered the hut together.

I was thinking to myself that this small house was probably a small warehouse for storing goods, but after I went in, I found that there was only one table and a chair in the room, and there was a bamboo slip that looked very new on the table.

Anyway, there is nothing else in the house, so this bamboo slip should be a golden book.

I picked up the bamboo slips and stumbled the weight. It was very light. I saw two long strips of paper sticking on the bamboo slips, and each strip had the word "seal".

My first reaction was to unpack the seal and see what was written in the bamboo slips.

As soon as my fingers touched the edge of the seal, Liang Houzai quickly grabbed my wrist and pointed at the two seals and said to me: "Brother Dao, why don't you remove them. Grandpa Chai pasted the seal, but he just didn't want someone to disassemble them."

I thought it was true. If the master hadn't planned to let me read the contents in it, and found that the seal had been opened by me, I might be punished to copy the Tao Te Ching again... Forget it, if you don't read it, don't read it.

After that, I locked the door and went to find my master with the bamboo slips.

Like last time, Old Gui He only saw his disciples from Shouzheng's lineage. When I entered the store, Liang Houzai was blocked outside.

When I entered the store, the master was still standing in the middle of the room with his hands on his back, and Old Ghost He leaned on the couch with a nervous look on his face.

When I handed the bamboo slips to my master, he really looked at the seal on it very carefully before handing the bamboo slips to Old Gui He again.

But people are curious. The more my master doesn't let me read it, the more I want to know what is written in it.

Old Gui He held the bamboo slips with his eyes full of confusion. He probably wanted to ask: "Is this a golden book?" But he glanced at my master, but didn't say anything, just silently took the bamboo slips apart.

But after looking at the bamboo slips that were unfolded by the gods, He Laogui's eyes became even more confused. In the end, he couldn't help asking my master: "Who is Luo Zhongxing?"

My master replied lightly: "You have been looking for someone you have been looking for forever."

I saw Old Gui suddenly widen his eyes and asked in an extremely shocked tone: "He is still alive?"

My master smiled at this time: "It's probably dead. I think you should be like me and don't want him to be alive."

Old Gui He breathed a long sigh and muttered: "Oh, it's okay to die, it's good to die."

I was wondering in my heart who the "he" mentioned by Master and Old Ghost, and why Old Ghost seemed to be afraid of that person.

At this time, my master spoke again: "Where is Zhao Zongdian?"

Old Gui He hesitated for a moment before saying to my master: "A month ago, Zhao Zongdian appeared in Dali once, and I only know so much."

As soon as he finished speaking, my master left without looking back, and I quickly followed my master.

When I was about to walk to the screen, I suddenly felt weak, my feet were weak, and I fell head on my master's back.

My master was pushed by me for a moment and wanted to turn his head to look at me, but when he turned around, his eyes accidentally fell on He Laogui's couch. Then I saw the master sigh and said helplessly: "This little fox ghost!"

So I also looked at He Laogui. At this time, He Laogui was staring at the bamboo slip in his hand, and did not notice the actions of me and my master.

Xian'er stood behind Old Gui, looking at the bamboo slip, with a very puzzled expression on her face.

No wonder I feel weak. This room is too big. I am almost approaching the door now. Xian'er is still on the couch. She is too far away from me!

At this time, Xian'er got off the couch, walked to me, frowned and said to me, "Guess what is written on that bamboo slip?"

I glanced at Old Gui He and felt that this was not the place to speak, so I pulled Xian'er and walked out of the store first.

It was not until I walked a little further that I asked Xian'er: "What is it written on it?"

When I talked to Xian'er, my master was behind me, but my master didn't seem to be planning to hide anything, just walked with his head raised and his chest out.

Xian'er blinked at me: "Let's guess, why are you asking me again?"

I thought about it and said, "It's probably something about Luo Zhongxing?"

But Xian'er shook her head: "It's not about Luo Zhongxing, but only three words: Luo, Zhongxing. There are only these three words on the huge bamboo slip."

Then I and Xian'er gave my master a questionable look.

The master smiled at us and said to me: "I originally didn't plan to let you know this name so early, but since you know it, then you know it. But now you know it, only me, Old Gui, and Xian'er, now you know it. Don't talk about this matter everywhere, let alone let the fifth person know his name, remember!"

I was still waiting for my master to tell me who Luo Zhongxing was, but my master had no further information. I know that my master did not intend to tell me about Luo Zhongxing. With his personality, no matter how much I asked him, he would not say a word.

Still Xian'er couldn't help asking: "Who is Luo Zhongxing?"

The master glared at Xian'er: "Ask what should be asked, and don't ask what should not be asked!"

Xian'er stuck out her tongue and looked at me complainingly, as if she wouldn't have been raped by her master if it weren't for me.

I didn't ask you, you blame me if you talk too much!

Just as I was thinking this, Xian'er stretched out her hand and pinched her hard on my arm. She had been pinching me more than once, but she couldn't compare to this time.

I'm sick, this person, no, this ghost!

Xian'er knew that I was scolding her in my heart, so she gave me a big roll of eyes, and then got into my shoulder.

Xian'er has been my companion soul for some time, but I have never understood one thing. She is obviously a spiritual body and can enter and exit my body freely, but I can touch her. When she pinched me, I could feel pain and bruises on my arms.

If the Spirit Spring has transformed her three souls and seven spirits into entities to a certain extent, why can she enter and exit my body, and why can’t others see her? But if she is a simple spirit, how does the touch come about?

I have asked Master these questions, but Master couldn't explain them. What else would he say? In this world, there are too many things that cannot be explained, so I will not think about it all day long.

At this time, Liang Houzai also ran over and said that Senior Brother Zhuang had just come to find my master.

He interrupted my thoughts this time, and I didn't continue to think about it.

Liang Houzai said that when Senior Brother Zhuang came to find Master, he seemed very anxious. Seeing that my master was no longer, Senior Brother Zhuang hurried to the town hall again.

After hearing what Liang Houzai said, my master rushed to the town hall.

When they arrived at the town hall, in addition to Senior Brother Zhuang, Master Xia and Master Zhao were also there, and they seemed to be discussing something.

Seeing that my master was coming, Senior Brother Zhuang didn't care about salute, but just ran to my master and said anxiously: "A corpse was lost in the shop opened by the corpse raising man. Uncle Chai, go and have a look."

My master frowned: "Did you lose your body? Who would steal a huge body?"

"It's not stealing," said Mr. Zhao, "It's just throwing it away, the evil corpse ran away by itself."

When I heard this, I knew that things were not good. There were so many people in the ghost market. If the evil corpse plunged into the crowd, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But my master still looked slow and heard him say, "I went to the corpse shop before. This year they brought a few hairy zombies. The ghost market is full of fellow men, a small hairy zombie, which cannot cause any storm. Brother Xia, I have some urgent matters now. I want to go to Dali to see it. Tomorrow, the door tripod will open, please help me arrange it."

Judging from what my master said, there is only one shop in the entire ghost market that sells evil corpses. Thinking about it, I have been walking around the ghost market twice, but I haven't seen the second same shop.

Master Xia didn't ask me what my master was doing in Dali, but the expression on his face became a little embarrassed.

But Senior Brother Zhuang said at this time: "When Senior Di, who is from the corpse raising lineage, came to find me, why did he say that a powerful thing ran away in his store? He also said that if he didn't deal with it quickly, the ghost market would suffer. Uncle Chai, Senior Di, you understand. He is also an old senior in the corpse raising lineage. He shouldn't lie to me, right?"

My master probably thought something was wrong, so he asked me, Senior Brother Zhuang: "Did Lao Di tell me what kind of corpse he lost?"

Senior Brother Zhuang shook his head: "I asked him, but he didn't say it."

I interrupted my mouth: "It might be that piece of white meat."

Senior Brother Zhuang and Master looked at me at the same time, and Master asked me: "What white meat?"

I thought about it and responded to the master: "Today I have been to the corpse raising shop and saw a very strange evil corpse. It was a piece of white flesh covered with talismans. When I saw it, a baby's face appeared on it, without pupils, and all of his eyes were white."

When the master heard what I said, his face became very ugly. He muttered, "Why did you bring this kind of thing to the ghost market?", and quickly walked into the house next to him, and soon came out with a long bag and two boxes of biscuits.

I can't be familiar with that bag, it contains my master's green steel sword.

The master stuffed the biscuits to me and Liang Houzai and said, "You two come with me. If you have any learning, go find Lao Di and ask him to get out. He won't use it next year's ghost market!"

After that, my master looked at Master Xia again. Master Xia pinched his fingers for a while, and said briefly: "Foot City, southeast direction."
