Taiping Inn

Dongshan is about 20 miles northeast of Jingzi Town. Because the way to go up and down the mountain is almost straight up and down, the residents of Dongshan Village rarely go down the mountain.

According to the clan elders of Jingzi Town, the villagers of Dongshan Village go down the mountain on the first and fifteenth day of every month. This has been the case for decades, and at most they are delayed by one day. Today is the seventeenth day, and no residents of Dongshan Village have gone down the mountain, which is abnormal.

There is a fairly wide flat land on the hillside of Dongshan Mountain. There are more than twenty brick and wood houses on this flat land. This is Dongshan Village.

As the night deepened, the whole village was dead silent, without any human voice or human habitation. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the sound of the wind was like the roar of ghosts in the underworld, making the whole village gloomy and weird. Then there was a thick fog, and with the dark sky, the shadows were hazy and creepy.

After a while, a friction sound like footsteps came from the mist, which was particularly clear and piercing in the dead silence of the village. Then a figure appeared in the mist, but the figure walked very strangely, very slowly, dragging one step at a time, as if he had a limp.

When you get closer, you will find that this person's steps are very strange. First, the right foot takes a big step forward, and then the left leg drags on the ground to slowly catch up, then the right foot takes another step, and the left leg drags and slowly catches up, and so on, step by step forward.

At some point, the dark clouds covering the bright moon dissipated, revealing a bright moon like a white jade plate hanging high in the sky. The moonlight fell down, dispelling a little fog, falling on this person's body, and also illuminating his face. His skin showed an ominous gray, without the slightest blood color, and even had some corpse spots. The two eyeballs rolled out of the eye sockets, and there was a trace of scarlet in the empty eye sockets.

Judging from his clothes, he should be a resident of the village, but now he has become like this, without any consciousness, completely a walking corpse, or a zombie.

Suddenly, the zombie stopped abruptly, and its dark eye sockets "looked" forward.

Although the zombie had lost consciousness, its instinct still made it feel threatened.

The next moment, a burning palm print appeared on the zombie's body, and the palm prints were clear, and then the palm print expanded rapidly, turning the zombie into a huge fireball in an instant, burning fiercely, and also burning the surrounding thick fog, making a hissing sound.

A moment later, the zombie turned into a wisp of green smoke under the raging fire, leaving nothing behind.

A Taoist slowly walked into the village, and before he could make any move, the fog that had been burned by the fire gathered again, and bursts of low roars sounded from it, and at the same time, two red lights lit up, as if ghosts and beasts were staring at it.

The Taoist didn't take it seriously and said loudly: "I don't know which Zaoge Sect master is here, I hope you can show up!"

Before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly jumped out of the black fog, walking in the same strange way, but much faster. He jumped several feet and stretched out his hand to grab the Taoist's head. Under the faint moonlight, it can be seen that the palm is completely black, and it seems to be several times swollen than an ordinary person's hand. The black nails are more than a foot long and emit a faint luster.

The Taoist waved his sleeves lightly and swept the zombie away directly.

However, after the zombie landed, a black mist dissipated from its bones and nine orifices, and then the zombie seemed to be drained instantly and slowly collapsed. Whether it was muscles, bones, or internal organs, they all turned into thick water and flowed out. In the end, only a human skin was left, and the rolling black gas condensed into a human face.

If it was still in the category of "corpse refining array" of Zaoge Sect before, then it is already a means of "soul refining array" now.

The Taoist frowned slightly, took a step forward, and compared the index and middle fingers of his right hand to sword fingers, with blue electric light flashing at the fingertips.

There are many evil things between heaven and earth, and they are most afraid of four types of people. The first is the Taoist alchemist, who uses the true fire thunder method and other extremely yang magic to restrain them; the second is the Buddhist monks, and the Buddha's light and Dharma are similar to the Taoist magic; the third is the swordsman who kills and kills. It is said that ghosts are afraid of evil people. People who focus on killing and killing are stained with blood and evil spirits, and they can also restrain ghosts; the fourth is a pure warrior, who has a horizontally trained body and extremely vigorous blood. For ghosts, it is like a raging fire, and they can't get close at all. If they have the master level, even evil ghosts can be dispersed with a shout.

At this time, the Taoist used the "Five Thunders Tianxin Zhengfa" known as the first thunder method, and the Taoist was Yan Feiqing, the head of Zhengyi Sect.

A thunderbolt fell from the sky, not only splitting the rolling black fog like a sharp sword, but also causing the human face to completely disappear.

However, the power of this thunder also completely alarmed the other zombies.

After the black fog was dispersed by the thunderbolt, the village that was originally covered by the black fog was revealed. At some point, the doors of every household in the village had been opened, and figures walked out one after another, all with gray faces and dull eyes. They gathered with the many zombies that were already on the street and rushed towards Yan Feiqing.

A flash of anger flashed across Yan Feiqing's face.

These zombies were naturally the people in Dongshan Village. At this time, all of them were extracted from their bodies by evil methods and refined into these zombies. This kind of thing that hurts the heaven and earth is a taboo in the martial arts world. If it happened in peacetime, the Qingluan Guards and the Six Gates of the imperial court, or the Twelve Sects of the Righteous Way, would have to investigate to the end and bring those who dared to violate the taboo to justice to serve as a warning to others.

Before Yan Feiqing made any move, a zombie walking in front suddenly "swelled up", and the whole body seemed to be inflated, and in an instant it had expanded like a ball.

The next moment, it exploded with a bang, and countless black and smelly thick water splashed everywhere. At the same time, as if it was a chain reaction, other zombies also expanded and exploded one after another.

For a time, the sound was like continuous thunder, and the thick water was like rain.

Although Yan Feiqing was a genuine Guizhen realm cultivator and ranked first on the Shaoxuan list, he still did not dare to act rashly in the face of these strange means. He lightly stepped on his feet and his body floated back.

However, these thick waters seemed to be spiritual, and they continued to gather in the air into a water ball the size of a head, which continued to expand and grow, and always hung in the air without falling.

Seeing this, Yan Feiqing suddenly stopped, and his eyes were dyed with a gorgeous fiery red color at some point, as if there was a burning fire in the sun, and his pupils were as bright as stars. At the same time, a great aura was also generated, covering the water ball.

The water ball, which was originally expanding, was immediately suppressed by the aura and could no longer grow.

Yan Feiqing made the "Demon Subduing Fan Seal" with both hands, and the water ball suddenly sank. Although during this process, the water ball kept spinning and jumping, as if trying to break free from the downward momentum, as Yan Feiqing made the "Light Art", the light suddenly shone brightly, covering the surface of the water ball, and the water ball became smaller and smaller, and in an instant, it fell to the ground. Because the yin and filthy air belonged to the earth, it all dissipated into nothingness.

Without waiting for Yan Feiqing to breathe, he heard two whooshing sounds, and two flying swords condensed from black water shot into the air. Yan Feiqing jumped up and hovered in the air. He saw the black water sword fall to the position where he had stood before, and the ground was completely corroded. Then, more than ten water arrows shot out. Yan Feiqing flicked his sleeves, and his true essence condensed into a long wind, sweeping them all away.

After Yan Feiqing landed, he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing. He looked up and saw a tall figure of two feet running quickly, agile as a fly, and then punched Yan Feiqing with a thunderous punch.

This punch instantly broke through the heavy black fog, roaring, and a black fist immediately occupied all of Yan Feiqing's sight, and the fist intent enveloped all directions.

This zombie was at least a martial artist in the innate realm when he was alive, otherwise he would never have such a huge fist intent.

Yan Feiqing was not afraid at all. He flicked his sleeves again, and an invisible "curtain" suddenly appeared in front of him. This punch landed heavily on this "curtain". Although the punch was heavy, the curtain was floating and there was no effort. It was soft to overcome hardness, and completely dissolved this punch.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the bright moon, and it was particularly clear under the white moonlight.

Then the figure fell from the bright moon, cutting through the night sky, like a meteorite from outer space, or like a shooting star passing through the night sky, crashing into the village.
