The zombie was close at hand. However, Qingyang could only touch a stone from behind and hit it on the head of the armored zombie. Unexpectedly, the Zombie's defense was amazing. Qingyang hit it several times, which not only didn't hurt each other, but completely aroused the ferocity of the zombie.
Seeing that Qingyang was about to suffer, I heard a light sound. Then I saw the armored zombie crying and falling to the ground. Then I kept twisting and twitching, and stopped after a few breaths.
It turned out that when Qingyang attracted the zombies, the corpse chaser finally released his hand, forced his body to come behind the zombies, and inserted a sword into the key part of the armored zombies.
This iron clad zombie is not high-level and is stabbed at the key by a medium-grade magic weapon copper coin sword. How can he hold on? Soon died. The Taoist priest seemed to think it was not safe. He pasted several talismans on the armored zombie. A fire lit the corpse on the ground until the raging flame burned the armored zombie into a mass of ashes. He was completely relieved.
After dealing with the zombie, the Taoist turned his head, looked at Qingyang and said, "thank you for your help just now. If it weren't for you, I would be dead this time."
Qingyang is no different from ordinary people now. The Taoist can't see any abnormality. An ordinary young man dares to help in the face of ferocious zombies. This heart is especially rare.
Qingyang didn't explain too much, but waved his hand and said, "I spent the night in the nearby cave after walking all day. If the zombie killed you, it's easy to find it. At that time, it can't be spared, so I had the courage to rush out just to protect myself."
"My friend is modest. I see that you have no accomplishments, but you can rush out at that moment. This courage is admirable. Thank you for saving your life anyway." the Taoist shook his head and then asked, "there are many dangers here. I don't know why my friend is here alone?"
Qingyang had long thought out his words and said, "I have been practicing in a small Taoist temple in the mountains with my master. Later, the Taoist temple was occupied by mountain bandits. My master was in trouble. I was also cut and thrown into the river to feed fish. I was lucky enough to survive. I don't know where to go."
The Taoist looked up and down at Qingyang and said, "no wonder I saw your feet floating and lack of strength before. It turned out that you haven't recovered after your injury. Those mountain bandits are so hateful that they won't even let go of their families. Since you have no place to go, you'd better follow me first. Although our village is small, there are several capable people and different people. It's OK to settle down."
"I don't know where my brother lives?" Qingyang asked.
"The village I live in is called touqi village. It's about 300 miles south from here. The village is not big, there are only hundreds of people, but I have to take these bodies on my way. The speed may be slower. It takes almost four or five days to arrive."
Four or five days is not long. Fortunately, I met the corpse chaser. If I asked myself to find it, I would not be able to find it in a month or two. Qingyang said, "well, I'll follow my brother. My body hasn't recovered yet, and my walking speed is not fast. I'm just a companion on the road."
"As long as you don't think I'm unlucky." the humanitarian way.
Then they exchanged names. The corpse chaser's surname was Mao. Others called him Taoist Mao. He was more than 40 years old. Qingyang looked much younger than him and could only call himself a younger brother.
After their discussion, they didn't start immediately. After a rest, Taoist Mao took out a stack of talismans and burned them into ash and sprinkled them on the five corpses. Then he re lit them at the seven orifices with cinnabar, and the five-color cloth strips were bound again. Before, these corpses were temporarily controlled by armored zombies and were more or less contaminated with some corpse Qi. There is enough ghost Qi in the middle of the ghost abyss. If they are not handled, they will become zombies over a long time, causing endless trouble.
Qingyang had heard of this kind of thing as early as when he followed master Songhe's old path, but he had never seen it. It is said that people who died in other places want to return to their roots, but the bodies are not lucky to go back. The living people don't think it's bad luck to transport the bodies, and cars and ships are unwilling to carry them. Especially in places where roads are difficult, even cars and ships can't walk, so the industry of driving corpses came into being.
It's too troublesome to carry corpses, but the corpse chaser controls the corpses through some secret methods so that they can walk by themselves. No road can stop them. In this way, a person can transport several corpses back at a time. It's slow, but the reward is also rich.
Taoist Mao has been engaged in this business for many years and has encountered many troubles, but he has never been so dangerous as this time. On the way, he encountered such a powerful attack by armored zombies. If Qingyang hadn't helped him, he would have almost lost his life here.
After the body was disposed of, Taoist Mao continued to lead the way in front with a gong. Five bodies lined up behind, and Qingyang walked last with a crutch.
With the company of Taoist Mao and five corpses, the road doesn't seem lonely. It's just that driving corpses is easy to cause taboos of others. Therefore, Qingyang and Taoist Mao can only go out at night and drive five corpses at night. During the day, they can only find a ventilated and cool cave to hide the corpses, so as to avoid decay after the corpses are exposed to the sun.
It was safe along the way, not to mention pedestrians. He didn't even meet a wild animal. Taoist Mao was not happy to talk a lot, and Qingyang was not in the mood to say more. The two people kept on walking. The 300 mile journey took only three days. Seeing that it was not far from the first seven villages mentioned by Taoist Mao, Taoist Mao stopped at a fork in the road and said: "These five corpses belong to the village on the left. I want to send them to bury them overnight. But the families over there don't like strangers. The Qingyang brothers might as well go back to the seventh village first. There is a small inn in the center of the village. The boss and I have been friends for many years. You can live in only by reporting my name. The boss won't charge you."
Over the past five days, Qingyang's body has been getting better and better, which is not different from normal people. After all, Qingyang has been seriously injured and has been driving for so many days. He was a little tired physically and mentally, so he nodded. Then Taoist Mao drove five bodies to the left, and Qingyang continued to move forward.
Four or five miles ahead, a river suddenly appeared in front. The river surface was not wide, only more than three feet, but the water was very deep. A stone was thrown down, and there was no reply for a long time. Moreover, there was no bridge above the river and no boat below. It was a little embarrassing.
Qingyang is not afraid of the water in the river. The water can't drown him, but now his strength is not restored, and his ability in all aspects is similar to that of ordinary people. If he goes to the middle and is washed by the river, his body is out of control and rushed to the downstream, it's not easy to go back here again.
