"Ah..." The man sighed silently, then murmured softly, "I've come this far, but I still can't calm down. It seems that this is also one of the compulsory courses for my travels. It seems that being too charming is also a sin."

As expected, the girl came over with a bright smile, looked at the man and asked, "Hello, handsome guy, how do I get to Fengmen Village?"

"what?"

When the man saw the girl coming over to ask for directions, he was stunned for a moment.

Aren't you here to ask about the phone number?
This is quite rare. It seems that this girl is not a superficial person! Not bad.

The girl who came over at this time was Huo Xiuer. Seeing the man stunned for a moment, she smiled. Her voice was as clear as a lark, which made people feel comfortable.

"Hey, don't be nervous, I just want to ask for directions. I want to go to Fengmen Village, but I don't know what's wrong with the people here. It seems that they are very taboo about Fengmen Village. No one tells me where Fengmen Village is. As a result, I still can't find the village!"

The man blinked, then pointed at the map and said, "Can you look at the map on your phone?"

Huo Xiuer shook her black-screened phone and said with a careless smile, "Hey, my phone is out of battery. Plus, I'm a bit directionally challenged, so I lost track of where I was. That's why I asked for directions."

When the man heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hey, girl, you are the most innocent person I have ever met!"

"You are alone like this? Walking on this desolate mountain road, and your phone happens to be out of battery. Don't you feel a little scared?"

"If something unexpected happens, you won't even have the chance to call the police!"

Huo Xiu'er smiled gently. She looked at the man in front of her carefully and confirmed that he was not a threat before continuing.

"Humph, don't underestimate me!"

"I'm not bragging, but I've even dealt with Zongzi before, so why would I be afraid of people?"

"Ordinary people are no match for me!"

The man couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. This girl is really brave.

He was always scared when walking outside, but this girl seemed to have no fear at all!

but……

Zongzi?

"What are these rice dumplings you mentioned just now?" the man asked curiously.

When Huo Xiu'er heard the man's question, she couldn't help but remember that the word "zongzi" was a special term in their tomb-robbing world, so she explained.

"After people die, their bodies don't decay or rot, so we call them zongzi."

"Don't underestimate the zongzi. When they move, they are more powerful and faster than humans!"

"The most important thing is that without a specific method, you simply can't eliminate them!"

"Because there is a master in Fengmen Village who knows a lot about zongzi, so I came here this time to learn from him."

"It's just that this Fengmen Village is too hard to find!"

The man was confused, but when the characteristics of zongzi were mentioned, he fell into deep thought.

Zongzi?

The corpse does not decay?

Didn’t he meet him a few days ago?
Last week, when he was traveling, he accidentally discovered an ancient battlefield, where there were corpses that were not decayed and could even jump up and attack people. He was really scared at the time.

He had heard some rumors about zongzi before, but he always thought they were legends and didn't take them seriously.

It was not until I saw it with my own eyes that I realized that zongzi is real.

"As for Fengmen Village, I'm not sure where it is, but I have nothing to do, so I can help you look for it."

"Also, I've seen a place called Fengmen Village on a map before, but it was marked as a cemetery, which is different from the other markings on the map."

"Are you... sure you didn't remember the place name wrong?"

Huo Xiu'er shook her head in confusion, and then remembered that she had indeed found the location of Fengmen Village when she searched on the map, but she had never been there.

Maybe it was really as the man said, that if you followed the navigation, you would end up in a cemetery.

So she said.

"I'm not sure, but since you used the navigation, it may not work here."

"Let's ask passers-by."

"It stands to reason that it should be nearby. It shouldn't be hard to find."

The young man nodded, then pointed to another road and said, "I've walked over there before, but I didn't see the sign for Fengmen Village. Why don't we look for it on that road?"

"Let me make it clear first. I'm just helping you find it. Don't blame me if you can't find it."

Huo Xiuer was delighted when she heard this, and looked at the man gratefully, "It's okay, it's okay. I can borrow your power bank to charge myself, hehe."

The man shook his head and then asked.

"From what you said, it seems that you are not from Fengmen Village, and your accent sounds a bit like that of the southerners."

"You came all the way here to become my disciple... Could it be that there is a master in Fengmen Village who can deal with Zongzi as you said?"

Huo Xiuer thought about Hao Xie and said without hiding anything.

"Well, but I don't know his exact location in Fengmen Village. I only know that he is in Fengmen Village!"

“So even if you go there, you may not be able to find him.”

"But I have his phone number, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find him."

The man curled his lips and pointed at Huo Xiuer's cell phone.

"Isn't your phone out of battery?"

Huo Xiuer slapped her forehead and exclaimed.

"oops!"

"Yes!"

“My phone is out of battery!”

"This is how to do?"

The man shook his head helplessly, glanced at Huo Xiuer, then took out a power bank from his backpack and handed it to Huo Xiuer.

"Here, take it and use it."

"To be honest, it's rare to find someone as simple as you nowadays."

"In our Northeast, your behavior is quite foolish!"

Huo Xiu'er chuckled, took the power bank, charged her phone, then looked at the man and smiled.

"Hey man, I think you're a nice guy, how about we be friends?"

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Huo Xiu'er from the Nine Gates!"

The man glanced at Huo Xiuer, his eyes widened, and then said.

"Nine gates?"

"Is it the Nine Gates that caused such a stir in Tanzhou City a few days ago?"

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be such a big shot!"

Then he continued.

"I……"

"Wudang Wang Ye."

The man was Wang Ye, the eldest disciple of the inner sect of Wudang Mountain. Wudang Mountain is one of the current Taoist sects.

He came down the mountain this time purely for traveling, to sharpen his mind and increase his experience.

When he heard Huo Xiuer say that there was an expert in Fengmen Village who could deal with zongzi, his curiosity was aroused.

Because a few days ago at the ancient battlefield, he had seen with his own eyes the kind of rice dumplings that Huo Xiuer was talking about.

Moreover, he also found his ancestor in that ancient battlefield - the 24th generation leader of Wudang, Xuan Chong Zhenren!

But now his ancestor should have become the Zongzi mentioned by Huo Xiuer. He wanted to take his ancestor back to Wudang Mountain, but he didn't expect that his ancestor would be so powerful even after his death.

After a fierce chase, Wang Ye used all his skills to escape from the clutches of the master.

But this matter cannot be let go like this. We can’t let the founder continue to stay in that kind of place.

So when he heard Huo Xiuer say that there was such a master in Fengmen Village, he couldn't help but want to go and find out.

Of course, the main reason he helped Huo Xiuer find Fengmen Village was because he wanted to do good deeds and accumulate good karma.

After hearing Huo Xiuer introduce herself, he realized that this girl was the one from the Nine Gates who had been all over the news some time ago.

On the other hand, since she is from the Nine Gates, the master she mentioned should be real in all likelihood.

But seeing is believing.

If there really is such a master, we can ask him to bring the founder back to the mountain. This would be a big event for Wudang.

"So you're a Taoist priest from Wudang!" When Huo Xiu'er heard that Wang Ye was from Wudang, she couldn't help but look at him curiously. With a smile on her face, she continued, "You don't look like him!"

Wang Ye shrugged and flicked his baseball cap.

"Well, that's right. My charm that emanates from everywhere always makes people imagine things. It's hard for people to believe that I'm a Wudang disciple, let alone a Taoist priest."

"So this time I came out to hone myself."

"Hey, I just heard you say that you know that master?"

"If I find it, could you introduce it to me?"

Huo Xiu'er curled her lips and complained secretly.

This guy is quite narcissistic.

Although she looks good, it's really unheard of for her to praise herself like this...

She nodded and said.

"For the sake of lending me your power bank!"

"I'll introduce my brother to you later!"

Wang Ye immediately turned around and looked at Huo Xiu'er in surprise, "The expert you are talking about is your brother?"

"Well... you can say that!" Huo Xiuer smiled, with a hint of pride in the corners of her eyes.

Her brother Haoxie is naturally an expert.

Otherwise, he would not have rescued her from Kuiliang's tomb, and would not have taught her to subdue the Huo family's Zongzi.

But...if we really want to talk about masters, then Brother Haoxie’s mysterious friend is the real master, right?
……

at the same time.

Zhang Hao was sitting in the house thinking about how to deal with the investigation of the underworld.

After thinking for a long time, he sighed.

"Hey……"

"Now I understand why stall owners are so afraid of urban management officials."

"How can I run my business if I worry about the people from the underworld coming to cause trouble every day?"

"If this matter is not resolved..."

Zhang Hao felt a headache when he thought about how the evil spirit had already found the door of their inn.

The one who came this time was a ghost messenger, the next time it might be a ghost messenger, and the next time it might be a ghost handsome.

If they keep harassing him like this, he won't be able to continue his business.

Although he is not afraid, he can't do all the tasks by himself in the future, right?
After all, he still has several employees!

Throughout history, companies where the boss works while the employees are idle will never go far.

After all, the boss's job is to plan and win the battle from thousands of miles away.

It would be wrong to fight in the battlefield yourself!
Zhang Hao shook his head and continued to think about how to solve the problem at hand.

Before I could figure it out, the system's voice suddenly came from my mind.

[Ding! It is detected that a customer is about to arrive. Please prepare to accept the order! ]

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ok?"

"Are there any orders coming?"

"My business is really becoming more and more prosperous, hahahaha!"

"Hello, how do I get to Fengmen Village?"

……

On the country road, Wang Ye and Huo Xiuer finally met a passerby and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

I thought asking for directions would be an easy task, but unexpectedly I encountered many difficulties.

The two asked several passers-by one after another, and the responses they got were either ignorance or a wary look on their faces and they hurried away.

What's worse, when asked, they were warned not to meddle in other people's business, and to stay away as soon as possible if not necessary and not to look for the so-called "Fengmen Village".

This made them feel confused and helpless.

At this moment, another passerby came into view, but the other party's eyes were full of vigilance. He looked them up and down, and after a long silence, he slowly spoke.

"What are you doing in Fengmen Village?"

Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, then looked at Huo Xiuer. After all, this trip was her idea, and he was just accompanying her to find the way.

Huo Xiuer quickly explained: "I went to find my brother. He lives there."

As soon as the words fell, passers-by stared at Huo Xiuer with suspicion, "Your brother?"

"I heard that the young people in Fengmen Village either died young or moved away, and the ones left are the old, weak, sick and disabled who can't leave. Where are the young people?"

Hearing that the passerby actually knew something about Fengmen Village, a glimmer of hope flashed in Huo Xiuer's eyes and she hurriedly asked.

"My brother is really in Fengmen Village. I really went to look for him, but this place is too hard to find. I searched for a long time but couldn't find him."

Wang Ye also nodded in agreement, "Yes, brother, you look kind, if you know, please tell us! We have been looking for it for a whole day!"

Seeing this, the passerby relaxed his brows and pointed to the village in the distance with smoke rising from chimneys, which seemed to be three or four kilometers away, and then said.

"Do you see that smoke over there?"

“Although that’s not Fengmen Village, just go in that direction. You’ll see it after you pass that patch of smoke.”

"But I have to tell you in advance, Fengmen Village is the weirdest village around here!"

"There is also a master in the village who specializes in dealing with the dead, so it is said that the dead in that village will move!"

"And there were several of them jumping at the same time, it was so scary!"

"Besides, there are many ghosts in that village!"

"If you have nothing to do, you'd better leave quickly. That village is unlucky!"

After saying that, the passerby walked around them and left.

Wang Ye and Huo Xiu'er looked at each other, confused.

"The dead people in the village? Can they move?" Huo Xiuer couldn't help but mutter. Although she knew that some strange things could move, it shouldn't be as exaggerated as what the passers-by said, right?

So she turned to look at Wang Ye and asked, "Master Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Ye shook his head and said with a curled lip: "If this village is really that evil, I'm afraid the whole country will know about it."

"I think that person must have exaggerated. Maybe there are some strange phenomena in that village, but it shouldn't be that outrageous."

Huo Xiuer nodded slightly and shrugged, "Forget it, let's keep looking. He said it's the village ahead, we should be there soon."

"Let me tell you, the village seemed haunted a few days ago!" (End of this chapter)
