C13 Cadaver raising

"It is a monk's duty to punish evil and show kindness. Boss Qiao, I would like to ask you a question about the criminal who cultivated the Dao in your family before?"

Zhang Changsheng waved his hand.

"I've never heard of it. My ancestors were well-behaved businessmen, and they would never refuse a monk when they saw him change his fate. They would absolutely not have any enmity with a cultivator."

Qiao San thought about it and shook his head.

Zhang Changsheng nodded. Suddenly, he remembered something and his face trembled, but he immediately regained his calm. The rest of the time was basically just bullshitting and bragging.

After the storm had blown away the clouds, Zhang Changsheng seemed to have eaten his fill as he wiped off his glistening mouth. He retrieved a small paper bag from his bag and handed it over to Qiao San.

"Take it back and flush it once a day for a week."

Qiao San received it as if it were a treasure and couldn't stop thanking Jiang Chen.

Leaving the banquet, Li Jing could not help but be curious, asking Zhang Changsheng what exactly he had given Qiao San. Zhang Changsheng chuckled. It turned out that the day he had met Qiao San, Zhang Changsheng had seen through his lack of yang energy. That place was definitely not suitable. He only promised Qiao San that he would give him a secret medicine that was passed down from his ancestors.

When Li Jing heard this, he was greatly taken aback. He couldn't help but sigh and say, "The world of rich people really can't be understood forever …"

The night passed in silence.

The next day, Li Jing left early for the police station. After all, it wasn't a big deal to not show his face for a few days, so he still had to do his work.

Fortunately, Old Xu had helped him lie in advance and told him that there was an urgent matter at home, so the leader did not investigate it too deeply.

When Li Jing returned to the office after he fixed the note, he saw the file on the dead man's body on the table. The higher-ups began to urge him to solve the case again. Li Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the file. How was he going to deal with this case? Since he couldn't tell the higher-ups who the ghost was, he might as well throw the file to the side. After all, the higher-ups would definitely think of something when the case was closed.

When Li Jing returned from work, he saw Zhang Changsheng sitting in his house, with Zi Ling and the other two standing by his side. Zi Ling nodded politely at Li Jing and said, "Zi Ling is here to apologize on behalf of the three of you, sir."

Zi Che and Wu Feng also gave Li Jing symbolic punches.

Li Jing was not a person who would take things too far. He politely smiled at them, saying, "I've just joined the sect. I hope that everyone will take care of me in the future."

After exchanging some pleasantries, the group got down to business. It turned out that Zhang Changsheng had come today precisely for the matter of the Long Xiang Garden. After listening to Qiao San's description last night, a method of sampling from the legends of the ancestors suddenly flashed through Zhang Changsheng's mind.

Actually, every person had yin and yang energies within their body. The metabolism, heartbeat, and even breathing of the human body were all dependent on the yin and yang energies. If a person could properly regulate their Yin and Yang energy, they would extend their lifespan and strengthen their body. Normal people would absorb the Yin and Yang energy from their bodies through diet and cultivation.

However, there were some unorthodox methods. One of them was to set up a cultivation location in a place of extreme Yin. It was said that the extremes of things were always reversed, because it was much easier to gather yang energy in the land of extreme yin and yang equilibrium between heaven and earth. In addition, with the assistance of formations, it could quickly gather yang energy. However, this method, in addition to natural energy, would also collect the Yang energy from surrounding creatures. It was extremely harmful to living creatures and had already been listed as a forbidden technique.

However, if one were to use this method of harvesting the sun, the cultivator would have to be in the eye of the formation in order to absorb the yang energy. This made Zhang Changsheng a little confused as to what kind of person would place their cultivation location at a depth of more than ten meters.

Li Jing heard him say half-jokingly: "Who else could it be?" Dead people.

"Dead!" Zhang Changsheng patted his head as if he had been enlightened. "So that's how it is, could it be that someone is rearing corpses?!"

"Raising corpses?" Li Jing had only seen this word in novels and movies, so he didn't know what it meant.

It turned out that the yang energy in a person's body had also disappeared after death. At this time, the body would return to normal after absorbing enough yang energy. However, the soul in his body had long since departed, and this recovered body would turn into a walking shell. It was the so-called zombie.

Just now, Li Jing's words had reminded Zhang Changsheng that there had been people raising corpses through the use of the Sun Harvester.

However, these were all Zhang Changsheng's speculations. As for the specific reason, they still needed to be investigated.

Looking at the way Old Copper Coin acted yesterday, Li Zhang and his son both felt that the matter was not simple.

The few of them did not dare to delay any longer. After packing up, they headed back to the Dragon Garden District.

Before they arrived, Li Jing had already greeted Qiao San, so the security guards at the entrance naturally didn't dare to stop them. It was seven in the evening when the two of them entered the small district. The area was packed with people and the sounds of dancing could be heard constantly. However, the small district was especially deserted. Within a hundred steps, not a single person could be seen. Only the occasional cold breeze hung by the two people's sides.

Even though it was midsummer, the lawn in the small district was yellowing, without any signs of life. Zhang Changsheng pointed at the lawn and said, "These flowers and plants are about to wither away. It's precisely because of this place that there is a lack of yang energy." If a person stayed here for too long, they would probably end up like these flowers and plants.

Li Jun nodded and continued walking forward.

The two walked a few rounds around the small district. Zhang Changsheng suddenly stopped beside a large tree, narrowed his eyes, and began to carefully size it up.

This large tree was as thick as a leaf and seemed to have been here for decades. After looking for a while, Li Jing couldn't find anything abnormal with the tree so he asked curiously.

"Is there something strange about this tree?"

Zhang Changsheng nodded and said, "All the other plants in this area have yellow branches, but this tree is extremely lush. Don't you find it strange?" If my speculations are correct, this tree has absorbed the yang energy that flows through this place and naturally grows more lush than other plants. And the eye of the formation should be under this tree. As long as he could break this formation, he would be able to break it.

Li Jing said, "So it's that simple. Then I'll get someone to dig up this tree and see what's down there."

Zhang Changsheng shook his head: "Absolutely not, there are many kinds of evil formations in Zhai Yang, and every formation has its own methods, if we rashly make a move, I'm afraid we won't be able to break through the formation, and we'll be put in danger instead." With that, he sighed: "If only Old Copper Coin was here, since the Fengshui Formation is his old trade, but from the looks of it, he probably can't interfere anymore."

Hearing the words "old copper coin", Li Jing curled his lips. He didn't have a good impression of him.

The two walked around the tree for a long time, but still couldn't find anything. Zhang Changsheng had the three people of Zi Ling's group fly up to the sky to see if they could see anything, but they had all returned empty-handed. In the end, he had Zi Ling draw a top quality view.

On the way home, both of them lowered their heads because they had failed their master, not saying a word.

Suddenly, Li Jing heard footsteps behind him. He turned around, but there was no one there.

Zhang Changsheng seemed to have also noticed this. The two looked each other in the eye and quickly walked forward, turning left and right into a small alley.

The two of them turned around at the same time and Li Jing shouted, "Who the hell are you!? You've followed me for so long! "

At this time, five or six shadows flashed out from the entrance of the alleyway, walking unsteadily towards the two.

"Robbed?" Li Jing laughed and shouted, "You must be tired of living! "How dare you rob the police!"

However, Zhang Changsheng raised his hand and solemnly said, "That's not right. The people who have come shouldn't be people. I can't feel any anger from them."

Li Jing was stunned. At this moment, a few figures had already approached him. Using the moonlight, he could see that their clothes were tattered and their faces were pale.

Furthermore, his eyes were glazed. When he walked, it was as if his legs didn't know how to bend. It gave others an uncomfortable feeling.

"It's a zombie!" Zhang Changsheng whispered to Li Jing, "It seems like This Penniless Priest's thoughts just now were correct. There are people raising the corpses, so we're probably being watched. We're in the shadows, so This Penniless Priest will hand this over to you."

As he spoke, he took out the Ghost Controlling Sigil and chanted an incantation. Immediately, the three people appeared in front of him.

It was Li Jing's first time seeing a zombie with his own eyes, but the zombie's appearance was not as terrifying as he had imagined.

Apart from his pale face, he was no different from any other normal person. In his heart, this zombie was much prettier than a female ghost.

Zi Ling and the other two were also stunned when they saw the zombie.

"Zombie? I haven't seen it in over three hundred years. I never would have thought that there would be such a thing in this world. "

Wu Feng also stretched his arm, laughing as he said: "It's been a long time since I last made a move. It just so happens that I can move my muscles."

Zi Ling looked very calm. "They must have come prepared. We have to be careful."

While the three of them were talking, the zombies suddenly rushed towards them.

That speed wasn't as clumsy as the speed on TV. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in front of the three people.
