  A layer of dark clouds shrouded the sky above Longshu Town, with grey cloud layers stacked one on top of another, blocking out the sunset.

  "What a heavy yin energy! Indeed, there is a monster lurking around!"

  Two people walked into Longshu Town, Qi Tian furrowed his brow, the dark energy within a radius of tens of miles seemed to be concentrated in this town. It's not that there are monsters lurking around, but even ordinary people who have lived here for a long time will suffer from endless illnesses and die prematurely.

  The town was deserted, with no pedestrians on the bluestone pavement, which was empty and desolate, with only a few fallen leaves swirling around in the air.

  Every household has closed doors and windows, with ink lines wrapped around the doors and windows stained with black dog blood. In front of the door, a layer of fragrant glutinous rice is scattered. Every family is like this, without exception.

  Qitian nodded and said: "It seems that there are also knowledgeable people in this town who know how to deal with ordinary zombies."

  Yun Fei seemed to understand, and said: "I heard my master say that in the history of Qingyun Sect, there were several seniors who came from this Longshu Town, so they passed down some Daoist scriptures, so it's more knowledgeable than ordinary secular places."

  The lamp fire was dim and yellow, the two of them walked in the town, suddenly, a window opened, an old man carefully stuck out his head, the old man's hair and beard were all white, his face was full of vicissitudes, he shouted at Qi Tian and the others: "Outsiders, hurry up and leave, it's dark, you can't even walk!"

  But at this moment, after seeing the two people in Taoist robes, with the purple bamboo sword shining behind them, the old man hesitated and said: "You, are you the immortal masters from Qingyun Sect a hundred miles away?"

  Qitian and the other person exchanged a glance, this Longshu Town person indeed knew many things. The two nodded, the old man's body trembled, his face full of excitement, he shakily opened the wooden door, removed the ink line, and let Qitian and the other person in.

  Behind the wooden door, there was a basket of eggs, but in the house, there was only an old man.

  Carefully re-winding the inkstone cord, closing the wooden door tightly, the old man turned around and was about to kneel down trembling.

  "Oh, old man!"

  Yun Fei supported the old man with one hand, and said with a bitter smile: "Old sir, there's no need to be like this. We came here this time just to help Longshu Town get rid of the evil spirits. If you treat us like this, we can't accept it."

  "That's good, that's good!"

  The old man nodded and went inside to fetch two plates of steamed buns, a dish of salted vegetables, and said with some embarrassment: "We don't have much here, these days the zombies are out, no one in town dares to cook or go down to the fields. Please don't mind."

  Yun Fei hastily shook his head: "No, no."

  As he spoke, he picked up a steamed bun and began eating it with relish, accompanied by pickled vegetables with scallions.

  The old man went back to the window and said, "It's still a while before dark, I'll go inform everyone that an immortal from Qingyun Sect has arrived, so we don't have to worry about zombies anymore."

  The old man opened the wooden door, took down the inkstone and brush, and without waiting for Qitian to speak, he hastily stepped out.

  Yun Fei let out a light breath, looked at the steamed bun in his hand, and was slightly dazed.

  "Big Brother!"

  Yun Fei smiled bitterly, and after a long time, he finally spoke up: "Younger brother, you don't know, I was also a poor child from a poor family. Later, I became homeless and begged for food but couldn't get any. A single steamed bun was more precious to me than my life back then. For it, I could fight with the large dogs raised by wealthy families, or compete with pigs for food. Later, Master took me in at Sword Peak, and I felt even more deeply the suffering of ordinary people. They have too many helplessness, and if they're not careful, their family might be destroyed. Three years ago, I drifted to Longshu Town, and if it wasn't for a child giving me a steamed bun, you wouldn't see me today, younger brother."

  Qitian was taken aback for a moment, then handed over a wine gourd. Yunfei opened it and took several big gulps in a row. Suddenly, his eyes shot out cold glints and he said in a chilly tone: "So, before I went up the mountain, I had sworn that if Longshu Town encountered difficulties in the future, I, Yunfei, would certainly not refuse to die for it."

  Qitian nodded: "It seems that Master has also brought us this errand in order for you to repay your karma."

  Taking a deep breath, the chill in his eyes dissipated, and Yun Fei said: "Yes, seeking immortality and asking about the Tao, there are few entanglements, worldly causes and effects, what should be ended has also been ended."

  Two people walked out of the house, on the stone road in the town, many townspeople had already arrived, children were all locked at home, only a few young men came, their eyes filled with hope, looking at Qi Tian and the other person.

  "Two of them, is there anything we need to do?"

  The old man stood at the very front, obviously with the highest seniority in the town.

  Qitian shook his head and said, "Everyone go back, lock doors and windows as before, the town is under our control."

  "Then I'll have to trouble the two of you, if we can capture the zombie, our Longshu Town will definitely build a temple for the two of you and worship day and night, without any neglect."

  "Not bad, as long as the two immortals can get rid of the zombies, we will definitely make it."

  Many townspeople responded in unison, and it can be seen that these people are straightforward and must do what they say.

  Before the two could refuse, a group of villagers dispersed one after another. The old man bid farewell and retreated back into his house.

  "They are afraid, afraid that our Qingyun Sect will no longer take care of them," Yun Fei sighed. "Ordinary people, even their prayers are so helpless."

  Qitian slightly closed his eyes, he had an epiphany, counted his breaths and then opened his eyes.

  "It's getting dark."

  At this time, the sunset had completely fallen, a bright moon slowly rose, and the yin energy in the town was very strong, almost stirring up a gloomy wind.

  "The bright moon is overhead, the zombies are delighted with the shade, it's about time for them to emerge."

  Two people sat cross-legged, with the purple bamboo sword placed horizontally on their knees, focusing their minds to face each other.

  The moonlight is like water, carrying a hint of coolness, pouring down on the entire Longshu Town. In the distant mountains, there are howling wolves rising and falling.

  Wooooo...

  In Longshu Town, a cold and gloomy wind slowly rose, the creek flowed, the sound of water was clear to the ear, with a kind of frightening deathly silence.

  Here!

  Suddenly, the two of them opened their eyes and looked towards a corner at the same time. Behind a white stone house, a shrill cry rose up, like a fierce beast, with waves of fierce air rushing up to the sky. A broad moonlight fell down and entered the stone house.

  Roar!

  The next moment, a tattered figure darted out from behind the stone house.

  "It's a fourth-generation Baiyan Jiangshi!"

  Yun Fei shouted in a low voice: "Be careful, the Fourth Generation White Eye has already reached the realm of Dao Ji Yuan Man, and its physical body is extremely powerful, making it very difficult to deal with."

  Looking up at the sky, this white-eyed zombie is about ten feet tall, with a pale body, but sinewy and muscular, hair as white as snow, eyes gleaming with a cold white light, exuding a chilly aura. Its fingernails are three inches long, and when the moonlight hits them, they emit a cold, icy air.

  At this point, it seems that this zombie should be a fourth-generation Baiyan, and not a descendant of the corpse-drying clan.

  In the Scripture Pavilion, there is a note that introduces the ancient evil creatures. Qitian and the other person flipped through it and learned that zombies are divided into two veins: one vein is the zombie king's ministers, and the other vein is the zombie Hou's corpse. The two veins of zombies have different ancestors, both were born in ancient times, and they do not coexist with each other, devouring each other instead. It is said that the ancestors of both veins were suppressed in ancient times, and in recent times, there are few descendants left, like this four-eyed white-eyed zombie king's minister in front of us, which is already a rare sight.

  Ancient ferocious creatures, zombie bloodlines reached the extreme, rumored to be able to attain eternal life. Their powerful and unyielding blood force refined their physical bodies, making them a match for the Five Elements in the ancient times, never falling behind.

  Both Qitian and the other person were cultivators of the Immortal Path, with life energy that was exceptionally vigorous. Their blood was like molten lead, extremely thick and viscous, and even contained spiritual energy. As soon as the fourth generation White Eyed Beast left its lair, it followed the scent to the town.

  Sigh——

  His body was like a mad wind, this four-eyed white head's two legs fiercely stomped, instantly crossing several zhang of land, arriving in front of the two people.

  Roar!

  With a loud roar, two sharp fangs gleamed with bloodstains, and the corpse's claws tore through the air, stirring up a crimson aura as it swiped down at Qi Tian and the other.

  Boom!

  There was a piercing sound of gold and iron grinding, with large sparks splashing in the air. The purple bamboo sword trembled, and Yun Fei's entire body was shaken out several feet away. As for Qi Tian, he hastily retreated five steps before stopping his movement. (New book rankings, need recommendation votes, collect!)
