Chapter 43
The wave looked like a friendly gesture. Xin Xiu thought that the monks here were indeed as hospitality as the people here, so he jumped off the roof and pulled the mule Taoist out of the back of the house, preparing to go to the square to meet with people.
But the mule Taoist priest stood up uneasy and suddenly whispered: "You said you would let me go if you found Xiang Mao, right?"
Xin Xiu smiled on her face: "Yes, but haven't found this yet?" She thought to herself that the mule Taoist priest seemed to have been very quiet since she arrived here, not even speaking, pretending to be like a real mule.
Could it be that the mule Taoist priest knows where this place is, and it is indeed very close to Xiang Mao? Or is it more directly, that ghost master is Xiang Mao’s person?
This is very likely.
Xin Xiu pulled the mule Taoist priest in the ear: "You are not honest, and you don't remind me even when you arrive at Xiang Mao. Could it be that you are going to watch me pass by Xiang Mao?"
The mule Taoist priest didn't expect that she would react so quickly and was not confident enough. "Why, I still thought that you would arrive at Xiang Mao as soon as possible and let me go as soon as possible... Look, you have learned all my knowledge anyway, and I'm useless to you now, so why don't you let me go now."
As he said that, he pretended to be pitiful, "We have been together so well for so long. I have no ill intentions towards you now. Now I just want to find a place to settle down and never do bad things again and not harm others. For our friendship these days, please let the old man go."
Xin Xiu: "Your middle-aged uncle's appearance is not enough to be called an old man. It is not in the category of respecting the elderly and loving the young. And what you said seems to us as if we have something, we are a very pure human-mule relationship."
The mule Taoist priest cursed in his heart, this bastard was not going to let him go! He can now be sure that both of them have their own ulterior motives, and the agreement they had made at the beginning was to fart, and Xin Xiu was more shameless than him!
One person and one mule were shaking, and a white figure suddenly surged out of the quiet street, and silent figures crowded together, surrounding them.
Xin Xiu saw the ghost master wearing a ghost face strode and raised a smile: "Are you still here to greet me so politely? I'm just about to come over to meet fellow Taoists."
The ghost master ignored her and pointed his finger straight at the mule Taoist priest. The mule Taoist priest hid behind Xin Xiu at some point.
"Lu Sheng, you still dare to come here."
Xin Xiu: Oh Huo directly called out the real name of the mule Taoist priest, and it turns out that he really knew him.
Judging from the tone of the ghost master, they probably had a grudge. Xin Xiu gave in to the side and exposed the mule Taoist priest. But as soon as she moved, the ghost master shouted at her: "Are you in the same group with Lu Sheng?"
Xin Xiu: "I don't..."
The mule Taoist priest suddenly shouted: "She is with me. If you catch me, she will come to save me!"
Ghost Master: "Since it's a group, let's catch her together!" His movements were faster than his voice. When he first made a sound, the white ghost shadow had already submerged Xin Xiu and the mule Taoist priest.
Why is this so furious? He didn't even say it clearly and then took action. Xin Xiu raised his hand and was about to resist when he heard the mule Taoist priest say in his ear: "He is Xiang Mao's man, and now he wants to take us to Xiang Mao. Don't you want to go to Xiang Mao?"
Xin Xiu paused and put it down again.
"What you said makes sense." Xiang Mao was caught and found by herself. It was the same as when she rounded up. At worst, when she arrived at the place, she told the ghost master's boss that she would come to deliver the letter.
But the premise is that the ghost master really wants to bring them to Xiangmao, not elsewhere.
"Tell me clearly what the hell is this place?" Xin Xiu grabbed the mule Taoist priest and pointed at the surroundings that stood upright in the soil, revealing most of the coffins, as well as the corpses in the coffins that had become humans. This place was simply a coffin jungle, which made people feel furious.
The ghost master drove the group of Bai Piaopiao to catch them, and without saying a word all the way, throwing them into this place, then waved his sleeves and left, disdaining to pay attention to them. It was completely different from the scene where Xin Xiu imagined being taken to Xiangmao Base Camp for three trials. This was obviously a random way to deal with garbage.
"Oh, why bother hurting each other?" The mule Taoist priest looked like a broken jar and fell to the ground. "This is indeed Xiang Mao."
Xin Xiu: "I feel that there should be a 'but' after your words."
Mule Taoist priest: "...but this is Xiang Mao's corpse forest, which is where they place corpses and refine corpses. In the corpse forest, there are in and out of the corpse forest, we are thrown here, and in their eyes, they are already corpses."
Xin Xiu was deceived by him, and was not very angry. He grabbed his reins and asked with interest: "The magic you know is related to ghosts and corpses. Xiang Mao looks like this. Seeing that the ghost master looked down on you just now, he threw you here directly with him. Could it be that you were Xiang Mao's disciples and betrayed them?"
"Hmph," the mule Taoist priest had a sour and bitter tone, sarcastic tone, "I am not qualified to be their Xiang Mao's disciples. They claim to be immortals and gods. All the ghost disciples are chosen by the ghost mother themselves. People with poor qualifications, poor appearance, and old age are not favored by these gods."
Xin Xiu understood: "It turns out that you wanted to invest in Xiang Mao before, but someone ruthlessly rejected it. So, you secretly learned their magic and the ghost master would have the expression." It seemed like you could not see the light and snatch the mouse.
Mule Taoist: "…"
Xin Xiu guessed that he had nothing to hide, and he raised his mule head: "They looked down on me, ha, I stolen the book of ghost arts, I learned their magic! What's so great about them? I have learned no one to teach them. If I have the chance, I will definitely be stronger than them."
Xin Xiu nodded, so that's it, "You have secretly learned other people's magic, and were discovered, and may have been chased by others, so you fled away in a remote town."
The mule Taoist priest emphasized: "I took the initiative to avoid them. After all, this is their territory. How could I fall into the trap?"
Xin Xiu: "It's strange. Can't magic be learned casually?" Whether in Shuling or when they meet Wu Yu when they go out, they teach people their magic.
The mule Taoist priest was sour to her again, "All the magic is done, everyone cherishes it, how can you learn it at will? I don't have the good luck like you."
Xin Xiu exclaimed him with mule head without hesitation: "You are already lucky if you haven't been beaten to death yet."
"Okay, the matter has been cleared, then I'll leave." Xin Xiu glanced at the coffins and took out his evil-proof umbrella with a smile: "Although this is a place that looks very evil-minded, I have the evil-proof spirit weapon given by my master to protect you. As for you, I'll be blessed."
The coffins around them made a banging sound, and the corpses inside opened their eyes one after another and crawled out of the coffin. This was the corpse who woke up by the anger they emitted. The corpse, which was told from ancient Chinese story settings, was a zombie, and from modern foreign story settings, was a zombie.
In short, if you are bitten, you will become their kind. This corpse has added local characteristics that are convenient and fast, and its lethality is doubled.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the mule Taoist priest shouted and stood up while stepping on his hooves and shouted, "Wait, have you left alone? No matter what I am?! At least turn me back into a human body, otherwise, wouldn't I be swallowed by the corpse here?"
Xin Xiu glanced at him and smiled: "You just deliberately harmed me and caused me to be thrown into this broken place. Now I still have the face to ask me to care about you? I've been begging you, so I'll be blessed."
Staring at Xin Xiu holding the evil-proof umbrella, jumping over the corpses that were still crawling, and walking away in the coffin forest, the mule Taoist priest changed from the anger of staring at the mule's eyes to the cunning and slick smile. This expression was indescribably subtle on the mule's face.
"Haha, little girl, no matter you have an evil-proof umbrella, you can't get out of here. Wait until you are trapped here until you die! This is what Xiang Mao's ghost master killed you, not me. Even if there is any powerful master behind you, he will not be able to find me."
As for himself, hehe, no one knows that he had escaped from this corpse forest before, and now he can escape for the second time. He had suffered such a great sin here for life, but it was not for nothing.
When he saw the ghost master in the city, he was thinking about how to escape from the ghost master and Xin Xiu. They didn't appreciate him, so he could take advantage of this.
The mule Taoist priest knew in his heart that the ghost master didn't want to use too many means on him. The biggest possibility was to throw him into the corpse forest directly. Xin Xiu would definitely not kill him. This girl was a bit naive, but if he deceived her, Xin Xiu would not continue to walk with him. The most likely to leave him alone, and then his goal would be achieved.
Everything happened according to his expectations. The mule Taoist priest realized that he had predicted everything with great calculus and was extremely proud.
He was not that afraid of the corpses here. They had just gotten up from the ground and their lethality was not great at present. He knew that there was a safe place for the corpses to stay there for a night, and the day fell, and the corpses returned to the coffin, and he could follow the route he had found.
He identified the route and hummed a song while still the song Xin Xiu often hummed.
"No matter what the use of your proudness yesterday, it's my turn to be proud today."
The mule Taoist found the stone coffin embedded in the mountain wall, squeezed in through the gap, and stayed there all night. He escaped the night of wandering corpses and wandering, and it was much safer during the day. He left smoothly from the route he remembered, and found the damaged magic circle of the Youzi Forest to get out.
The mule Taoist looked at the three mountains in front of Xiangmao and wanted to laugh three times, but he was also afraid of disturbing the ghost masters of Xiangmao on the cliff, so he only lowered his voice and laughed twice.
"hehe."
Mule Taoist: "..." This seems not to be the laughter I made.
The mule Taoist priest turned his head slightly stiffly and saw Xin Xiu's familiar face.
She held an umbrella in her hand and shook it casually, showing the winner's smile at him: "I knew that Mule Taoist, you must have kept a backup plan. As expected, I followed you and left the Wanzi Forest, who was said to be able to trap people to death. She is worthy of being able to steal other people's magic from Xiang Mao. It's amazing, I'm very eye-opening."
She came over and re-tie the reins on his neck, "I want to learn from you, there are many more things."
The mule Taoist priest stared at her movements, and suddenly felt sad and almost cried.
Xin Xiu: "Why are you crying? Being caught by me is better than being caught by ghost masters and others."
...This is, the mule Taoist priest had the illusion of being comforted.
"Come on, tell me, what should we do if we want to sneak into Xiangmao?" Xin Xiu asked.
Mule Taoist priest: "Why do you sneak in?" Didn't you come to deliver the letter? I didn't have time to say it before, but now I'm just going to call people and say it directly?
Xin Xiu: "I was caught once. Now I think that I have to deliver the letter to someone else's base camp in person. It is not possible to be lazy and take shortcuts."
The mule Taoist priest thought to himself, you are obviously holding a grudge and wanting to cause trouble. However, Xin Xiu was still looking forward to Xiang Mao's trouble.
