When Gao Banxian heard that the mayor asked him to go to Lijia Village to retrieve the ancestral tablet, he asked, "Is Lijia Village far away?"
The mayor smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's not far, only seventy miles. If you ride a horse, you can get there in less than an hour."
"What's so difficult about this!" Gao Banxian slapped his chest, "I'll go tonight."
"Ahem!" Mo Shouchen suddenly coughed twice from the side.
Gao Banxian turned around and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold last night?"
Mo Shouchen leaned into Gao Banxian's ear and whispered, "All the villagers in Lijia Village are dead. Now the whole village is full of zombies."
When he heard that Lijia Village was full of zombies, the corners of Gao Banxian's mouth twitched slightly, but it was difficult for others to detect this subtle change in expression.
After a while, he rubbed his waist and said: "Oh, I almost forgot, my waist is not good, and riding a horse is a bit bumpy. I'm afraid I can't bear it."
The mayor sneered and said: "So, you can't do it?"
Gao Banxian laughed twice, and then said: "Isn't it just a matter of taking a memorial tablet? For such a trivial matter, just let the old disciple do it by himself."
Mo Shouchen grabbed Gao Banxian's arm, lay down in his ear and whispered, "Your uncle!"
Gao Banxian patted the back of his hand and whispered: "Don't get excited, stabilize them first!"
In this way, the mayor agreed that Mo Shouchen went to Lijia Village to get the tablet in place of Gao Banxian. However, if Mo Shouchen failed, it would prove that Gao Banxian was not Zhenren Gao, and he would be punished as well.
Although Marshal Xu felt that this was a bit unreasonable for Gao Zhenren, in order to convince the public, he finally agreed to let Mo Shouchen complete the mayor's test.
But before that, he had to host a banquet for Gao Zhenren and Mo Shouchen at his home, as an apology for almost killing Gao Zhenren's apprentice.
Marshal Xu took Gao Banxian and Mo Shouchen back to his compound. On the way, Mo Shouchen asked angrily: "Why did you come here? If it were later, you could have come directly to collect the body for me."
Last night, Mo Shouchen promised Marshal Xu that his master would appear within one day.
So after Taoist Master Qingxin left, before the black book was collected, he secretly summoned Gao Banxian, and then gave Gao Banxian the soul-reviving pill, asking Gao Banxian to eat it and save him.
As a result, after waiting all morning, Gao Banxian didn't show up, causing him to almost get shot.
Gao Banxian said nonchalantly: "This is what I watch on TV. At the critical moment, I shout, 'Save the man under the sword'. Only in this way will it appear thrilling and the audience will love to watch it!"
After hearing this, Mo Shouchen was so angry that he decided to throw away the TV in the script-killing hall when he went back, so that Gao Banxian would not be poisoned by those stupid dramas again.
Then he asked: "Also, you obviously promised to go to Lijiacun yourself, why did you let me go for you in the end?"
Gao Banxian smiled bitterly and said: "Although the old man is now resurrected as an adult, his cultivation has not been restored. If you ask the old man to go to Lijia Village, you are not going to die!"
Mo Shouchen snorted coldly and said, "So you want me to die for you?"
"What are you talking about? Don't you have the teeth of the Zombie King on your body? Take out the teeth and carry them with you. No matter how many zombies there are in Lijia Village, you don't have to be afraid."
Gao Banxian was right. The tough blood corpses in Tu'erling Ancient Tombs would lose most of their combat effectiveness after being intimidated by the zombie king's broken teeth, let alone ordinary zombies.
If he hadn't saved Hongyue Town last night, Mo Shouchen wouldn't have had to fight the zombies. He just took out the broken tooth, and no zombies would have dared to approach him.
So he could just carry the broken tooth of the Zombie King with him, then walk into Lijia Village and take out the tablet inside.
However, what Mo Shouchen cares about most now is not whether he can get the tablet back, but that although Gao Banxian has been resurrected, his abilities during his lifetime have not been restored.
Originally, he thought that the resurrected Gao Banxian could shine in this script, but now it seems that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
However, he still said unwillingly: "Otherwise, you can draw more powerful talisman papers for me."
Gao Banxian shook his head and said: "Just drawing the talisman paper is useless. You also need to inject mana into it when drawing, so that it can be effective. And the higher the cultivation level, the better the effect."
Mo Shouchen sighed helplessly: "It seems that you can't help me in any way."
"Who said that this old man can still do divination?"
As he spoke, Gao Banxian took out a few copper coins and said, "Now I can not only predict good and bad luck, but I can also ask about marriage. What do you think? Do you want me to help you predict fortune?"
"Not interested in!"
Seeing that Mo Shouchen didn't want to divination, Gao Banxian put away the copper coins and continued: "Actually, I have another way to help you get some powerful talismans."
Mo Shouchen's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "What can we do?"
Gao Banxian glanced at Taoist Master Qingxin who was following Dashuai Xu, and then said: "That Taoist priest's cultivation level is not bad. I can teach him some drawing methods on talisman paper. The talisman paper he draws should be able to reach 30% of the skill."
"Then forget it!" Mo Shouchen rejected Gao Banxian's proposal without hesitation.
The character of Taoist Master Qingxin was extremely poor. Just because Mo Shouchen blocked his way of making money, he tried every means to kill Mo Shouchen.
Mo Shouchen even felt that the sudden appearance of so many zombies in Hongyue Town last night was probably caused by Taoist Priest Qingxin.
For such a narrow-minded person, if he is allowed to learn Gao Banxian's talismans, what will happen in the future?
Therefore, Mo Shouchen would rather not give up the talisman paper than let Gao Banxian teach the Taoist Priest Qingxin how to draw the talisman paper.
Back at the Marshal's Mansion, Marshal Xu asked the kitchen to prepare a rich vegetarian meal.
During the dinner, Taoist Priest Qingxin showed great respect for Gao Banxian. He repeatedly explained that the relationship with Mo Shouchen was just some misunderstandings, and offered tea instead of wine to apologize to Mo Shouchen.
Mo Shouchen glanced at the teacup in Taoist Priest Qingxin's hand and said coldly: "Should I kneel down to offer tea to Master?"
