Zhang Chen’s expression was strange.
In this chaotic world, two gold beans the size of two gold teeth were worth a lot of money.
But compared to the burial objects of the female corpse, it was just a drop in the ocean.
He wasn’t sure whether it belonged to the female corpse.
Or the corpse that had been possessed later.
But anyway, it was quite poor.
Hu Guo Hua was asking for help.
Naturally, he knew some etiquette.
Normally, he should give one to the person he was asking for help.
But he was as poor as a church mouse.
There wasn’t even a grain of rice left at home.
He also had to smoke that opium.
This little money seemed like a lot, but it would be gone as soon as he used it.
He was hesitating, thinking whether to give him some.
Then he heard Zhang Chen say, "Let's go back now. It's dark and windy, don't run into anything dirty!"
Hu Guo Hua was startled upon hearing this.
He had already been unlucky enough to encounter the paper figurine turning into a spirit today.
He came to dig a grave late at night and was also had his heart dug out by the female corpse.
If he encountered another one, that would be too unlucky.
So he immediately walked with Zhang Chen.
They hurried back to his home.
When they reached the courtyard.
Zhang Chen looked at the bare house.
He sighed.
When he came here a few days ago, there were still some furniture and bedding.
This time.
Even the bedding was gone.
He had to make do with a bed of straw as a blanket.
He was indeed miserable.
But Hu Guo Hua didn’t have time to think about that right now.
Getting his heart back was the most important thing now.
He immediately ignored everything else and asked, "Mr. Zhang, do you have any way to do this?"
Zhang Chen actually didn't have any confidence.
The female corpse needed to eat a black donkey hoof to be completely destroyed.
But…
The method used in the book.
Was to hide the black donkey hoof in the chest cavity of the paper figurine.
Use some kind of magic to trick the female corpse into eating it herself.
He didn't know this kind of magic.
If he made a female paper figurine, he didn't know if it would be exposed.
Or maybe… the female corpse's eyesight was bad, and she couldn’t tell it was a paper figurine?
"Do you know where to buy a black donkey hoof?"
Zhang Chen asked.
Hu Guo Hua shook his head.
He was a gambler who was addicted to drinking, eating, whoring, and gambling.
How could he know these things.
"Okay, I'll go find a black donkey hoof. After dawn, you go to Lao Ma's paper shop and make a paper figurine, the same as the one you wanted before, the more human-like, the better. I will come to your house at seven o'clock in the evening!"
Zhang Chen said.
If he really couldn’t find a black donkey hoof.
He might as well buy one and kill it right there.
Hu Guo Hua nodded quickly.
Seeing him about to leave.
He hurriedly called out to him, with a worried expression, "Mr. Zhang, you won't just leave and never come back, will you?"
He was really scared.
If they didn’t destroy the female corpse.
How could his heart come back?
Then wouldn’t he become a walking corpse?
He probably wouldn’t be able to live anymore.
Besides, he was like a drowning man now.
Zhang Chen was his only lifeline.
"No, I have a grudge against the female corpse!"
Zhang Chen said.
Hu Guo Hua finally relaxed.
…
Under the cover of night.
Zhang Chen travelled day and night.
He didn’t go to the market.
Instead, he went straight back home.
He didn’t know if Lao Li Tou knew about this.
He didn’t intend to tell him about this.
After all, the zombie was not something easy to deal with.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen?
It seems.
That everyone has their own expertise.
To deal with this kind of corpse-demon zombie.
A yin-yang master is the professional.
When he got home.
It was already dawn.
Although he didn’t sleep all night.
Zhang Chen didn’t feel tired.
Now his Xuan Tian Gong had reached a preliminary stage.
With internal energy in his dantian, strength came from within, even if he didn’t rest for two or three days, it wouldn’t hurt his body.
Seeing the purple energy rising from the east.
Zhang Chen didn’t rush to find Lao Li Tou.
Instead, he sat cross-legged and meditated, resting his Purple Extreme Magic Eye.
When the last ray of purple energy disappeared.
Zhang Chen came down from the roof.
Shortly after coming down, the door opened.
Lao Li Tou walked out of the house.
He was carrying a big rat on his shoulder.
Lao Li Tou was laughing and chatting with the big rat, as if they were close friends.
"Hey? When did you come back?"
Lao Li Tou was startled when he saw Zhang Chen standing in the courtyard.
In the time he knew him.
This kid had never stayed out all night.
Although Lao Li Tou knew he was good at martial arts.
He was still a little worried.
Now that he saw he was fine, he was relieved.
"Uncle Li, I need your help!"
Zhang Chen said.
Seeing his serious expression.
Lao Li Tou also put away his smile and asked seriously, "What happened?"
"It's like this…"
They both sat down.
Zhang Chen told him what happened.
Then he asked, "Uncle Li, do you know where to get a black donkey hoof? This thing should be able to subdue the female corpse!"
Lao Li Tou was stunned.
He was a little dazed.
A hundred-year-old corpse-demon?
A female ghost?
A paper figurine turned into a spirit?
A zombie…
He also cut out someone's heart, forced the person to find someone for him, and wanted to eat their heart and liver?
These things were unimaginable for ordinary people.
Although he often heard people talk about these corpse-demon things.
He had never seen them.
He thought it was a strange story, that it was fake.
Unexpectedly, this kid actually encountered it?
The most terrifying thing was.
This kid directly smashed its grave.
Burned its body.
His strength had already risen to such a level?
After a long pause.
Lao Li Tou sighed and said, "You kid, I know you're strong, but I didn't know you were this strong. You go out to vanquish demons and subdue monsters without a sound? You think you're a hero? What if something happens to you?"
Towards the end.
Lao Li Tou was about to scold him.
Why was he so careless about his own life?
胡搞瞎搞 (hu gao xia gao, literally "randomly messing around", implies recklessness and being careless).
Zhang Chen naturally wasn’t angry.
He knew that Lao Li Tou was doing this for his own good.
But he couldn’t explain the reasons in detail.
"It's true that there are rumors that the black donkey hoof is the nemesis of the zombie. However, I heard that it's only the black donkey hoof that has been placed for many years that can ward off evil spirits. The one that has just been cut off and is still bloody, even if you get close to the zombie, it will react and be discovered!"
Lao Li Tou picked up his pipe and took a few puffs.
His brows furrowed.
After thinking for a long time.
He suddenly thought of someone.
But unfortunately, the person wasn’t here.
He had met this person a few years ago.
He met him while doing a secret matter.
He was fortunate enough to be instructed by him and admired him very much.
Although he wasn’t here.
There were some fortune tellers in this county who had learned a little bit of his true skills.
It was rumored that this Mr. Jin was a Feng Shui master and a Yin-Yang practitioner.
He was best at finding tombs by geomancy, observing mountains and rivers, and was very powerful.
Now that this kid had gotten into trouble.
Lao Li Tou didn’t want him to escape.
He thought the same way as this kid.
This zombie could cultivate to this state.
It still had some skills.
If they didn’t completely eliminate it while it was weak, who knows what would happen in the future.
He immediately got up and said, "I'll help you do it now. Wait for my news!"
