Marshal Xu glanced at the zombies lying on the ground and said with some confusion: "Taoist Master, I have only been away for three days. Why did so many zombies suddenly appear in Hongyue Town?"
Taoist Master Qingxin pointed at Mo Shouchen, and then said to Marshal Xu: "This man appeared in Hongyue Town today, and so many zombies appeared at night. I think these zombies must be related to him!"
"Oh? Did you lead the zombies here?" Marshal Xu pushed up the brim of his hat with the muzzle of his pistol, and then looked at Mo Shouchen with a cold gaze.
Mo Shouchen said calmly: "I did arrive in Hongyue Town today, but the zombies that appeared tonight have nothing to do with me!"
Wencai, who had just hid far away, came over and explained to Mo Shouchen: "Commander Xu, this Master Mo is here to help Hongyue Town deal with zombies. He just saved my life."
Taoist Priest Qingxin said from the side: "Brother, this person is full of tricks. You must not be deceived by him."
Wen Cai pointed to his face depressedly and said, "Taoist Priest, I am only twenty years old this year."
Taoist Priest Qingxin was stunned for a moment, then he squinted his eyes and looked at Wencai's face carefully, and then said with a smile: "My little brother looks a little anxious."
Although Wencai had begun to curse in his heart, out of respect for Taoist Master Qingxin, he could only smile awkwardly and said nothing more.
At this time, Marshal Xu opened his mouth and yawned. After yawning, he said: "I'm tired. If you have anything to do, let's talk tomorrow!"
Seeing that Marshal Xu was about to leave, Taoist Priest Qingxin hurriedly said: "Commander, this man is secretive and has practiced evil ways. If we don't get rid of him today and let him run away, I'm afraid Hongyue Town will never have peace."
Mo Shouchen snorted coldly and said: "My master Gao Ban... Gao Zhenzhen is the master of the founder of your Taoist temple. If you say that I am a heretic, then wouldn't your entire Taoist temple be the same as me?"
Taoist Master Qingxin said sarcastically: "If Master Gao is still alive, he would be at least 200 years old. How could you be his disciple? You should be careful when lying."
"I didn't lie!" Mo Shouchen said decisively.
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that Gaozhen is your master?"
Marshal Xu stared at Mo Shouchen with cold eyes. His finger was hooked on the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun was slightly raised. It seemed that if Mo Shouchen's answer did not satisfy him, he would shoot directly.
Mo Shouchen untied the talisman paper bag from his waist, then pointed to the word "Gao" embroidered on it and said: "This talisman bag is the talisman paper bag used by Zhenren Gao before, and now he has passed it on to me."
Taoist Priest Qingxin glanced at the talisman paper bag and said disdainfully: "Take a bag with the word 'Gao' embroidered on it and try to pretend to be Gao Zhenren's disciple. You are so naive!"
Mo Shouchen could not prove that the talisman paper bag was something Gao Banxian had used, so he could only use his last resort.
He put away the talisman paper bag and asked, "Does your Taoist temple have a portrait of Master Gao?"
Taoist priest Qingxin nodded and said: "There is a portrait in the house of the first Taoist priest, and the one painted on it is Gao Zhenren."
"That's easy!" Mo Shouchen clapped his hands, "Actually, I came out with my master this time. As long as he comes, he can prove that I am his disciple."
Marshal Xu stretched out three fingers and said: "Okay, I'll give you three days. If your master doesn't show up after three days, don't blame my bullets for not having eyesight."
Mo Shouchen waved his hands confidently and said: "In less than three days, tomorrow, tomorrow my master will come to Hongyue Town."
"Okay, then tomorrow!"
After speaking, Marshal Xu ordered his men to take custody of Mo Shouchen. He could not leave without his order.
Taoist Priest Qingxin gave Mo Shouchen a helpless look. He wished that Mo Shouchen would die immediately, but Marshal Xu had already decided and he could not say anything else.
Moreover, he has always believed that Mo Shouchen could not be Gao Weishi's apprentice, so in his eyes, Mo Shouchen was just a dead man who had one day left to live.
Marshal Xu divided the soldiers into two teams, one team was responsible for guarding Mo Shouchen, and the other team was responsible for cleaning up the zombies in Hongyue Town.
After making arrangements, he said hello to Taoist Master Qingxin and then went back to rest.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, cries could be heard outside the Marshal's house.
Marshal Xu was very angry when he was woken up. He didn't even wear a coat, so he walked out of the Marshal's house with a pistol in hand, wanting to see which blind bastard was messing around outside.
When he walked out of the gate, he saw the mayor of Hongyue Town and several old people kneeling outside shouting. Behind them were several simple stretchers. The stretchers were covered with white cloth, and the white cloth showed the outline of a human figure.
.
It's a corpse!
Seeing Marshal Xu appear, the mayor immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "marshal Xu, you have to make the decision for the people of Hongyue Town!"
Marshal Xu originally planned to kill one of them first to scare the monkeys, but the leader was the mayor, and the rest of the old men were also prominent figures in Hongyue Town.
If he really hurt them, he would lose the support of the people in Hongyue Town, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, then walked over and helped the mayor up.
"Mayor Zhao, if you have something to say, please tell me. What are you doing?"
The mayor wiped his tears, then pointed to the stretchers behind him and said: "These people were bitten to death by zombies last night. They died unjustly!"
Marshal Xu roughly counted and found that there were fifteen or six stretchers in total. It seemed that the casualties last night were relatively heavy.
He patted the mayor on the shoulder and comforted: "I sent people to eliminate all the zombies that broke into Hongyue Town last night. It can be regarded as avenging them. You can cremate these corpses quickly to avoid delaying it until night.
