Chapter 64: Heaven's Wrath Five Elements Corpse-Sealing Talisman

  I went out and prepared everything, just as I was about to head to the hospital, I kept feeling like someone was following me from behind. I constantly looked back, but there was nothing.

  Didn't think much and entered the hospital, gave Cao Jingyu cinnabar and glutinous rice.

  "I'll teach you how to draw this talisman right here today. This talisman is called the Tianxia Town Corpse Talisman, specializing in suppressing living corpses, zombies and undead. Take the number of Tianxia, a total of 36 strokes, each stroke must have a sharp edge, the sharper the edge of the talisman character, the more effective the talisman will be."

  "Watch me, I'll show you once."

  Cao took out a stone box similar to an inkstone, poured in cinnabar, added some ink and stirred until the cinnabar and ink mixed into a deep red color. He dipped his brush in the ink and held the talisman flat on the table with his left hand, then drew with swift and bold strokes, completing it in one breath. In less than twenty seconds, he had drawn a Heavenly Gate Seal of Suppressing Corpses.

  "When drawing talismans, one's body must be upright, mind calm, and heart sincere. The strokes of the brush cannot be interrupted, requiring a smooth flow from start to finish. There are three taboos in drawing talismans: first, having two minds; second, breaking the tip of the brush; third, lacking brush movement. Alright, remember what I told you, now draw one according to this talisman." Ma Shi Jiu handed me the talisman he had just drawn.

  "I didn't quite understand what you said, can you say it again?" "I had some parts that I couldn't understand, and besides, Mao only demonstrated it to me once."

  "You'll get it eventually! You try drawing first." Mao Nineteen was busy with his own affairs on the side.

  I tried to recall the action of Mo Xixi just now, pouring cinnabar into the inkstone, but Ni Ma poured too much, so I used my hand to scoop out some and stained one hand red. In a flurry, I went to wash my hands and found that it couldn't be washed off at all.

  I continued to add ink, only to find that the ratio was still not right. This back-and-forth process repeated itself over ten times before I finally got the ink mixture just right, and by then I was covered in grime from head to toe.

  With a stroke of the brush dipped in cinnabar ink, a huge ink dot burst forth, and the entire talisman paper was ruined.

  "You stupid pig, you can't even draw a calabash according to the gourd." I was scolded by Mao Shi Jiu until my face turned red.

  "Master, I've been bad at even writing with a pen since I was young, you want me to use a brush? I'm just an egg that wants to be under the lid but can't find a way!" I complained.

  "Look at your crooked ass painting, you've painted a good ass." Mao kicked me in the butt with one foot.

  It was not easy to get my body straight, but the strokes became crooked and discontinuous again. After a whole afternoon, I finally managed to draw out one chapter, but Cao Shi Jiu took a look and tore it up directly.

  "Unqualified."

  Then he drew more than ten pieces again.

  "Unqualified."

  My hands are no longer mine, unbearably sore and aching, almost unable to lift them up.

  "Master, how can this be considered qualified?! My hands are numb!"

  "Okay, you rest for ten minutes, then draw."

  This is not your own master!

  The quiet night has already fallen, and I still haven't drawn a qualified one.

  "Alright, with your talent, it's indeed a bit difficult for you to learn in just one afternoon."

  Cao Jingyu then wrote and painted continuously, producing ten pieces, five of which he gave to me.

  This person is more annoying than anyone else! At this time, I really doubt my IQ.

  "This person is about to turn into a zombie, take these five talismans to protect yourself. When he approaches you, stick the talisman on his forehead or chest." Originally, posting talismans requires specific acupoints, but now Mao Shi Jiu doesn't have time to explain it to me, so I just roughly told him the position.

  "When the time of transformation arrives, he will absorb all the yin energy within a certain radius onto his body. This hospital often has deaths, so the yin energy is second only to that in the morgue. After he absorbs the yin energy, he will temporarily become extremely powerful, even I would find it hard to control him. So we need to set up some things beforehand, take a good look and learn well."

  Cao Zhenyuan sprinkled a circle of cinnabar around the patient's body. "This will prevent him from absorbing too much yin energy."

  Then Cao took out a red thread and tied it between the patient's hands and feet. "This will temporarily slow him down."

  Cao Jingyu took out a brush for drawing talismans and drew a symbol on the bandage over the patient's chest. "This symbol will explode when he rises from the dead."

  Then glutinous rice was poured over the patient's entire body, "This is called wrapping zongzi, so much glutinous rice will surely make him feel comfortable at home." Mao Shi Jiu laughed.

  I listened with rapt attention.

  Finally, Cao Zhi took out a herb and put it in his mouth to chew on.

  "What's this?" I asked curiously.

  "This is called refreshing breath, peppermint leaves, do you want some?"

  "Damn it!"

  Li Jian Tian came over at this time.

  "I've arranged everything, no one will come tonight, you can rest assured, I'll leave first, something's up at the bureau."

  "You're not afraid, are you?" I asked him with a sneer.

  "Are you afraid? Can I be afraid?" Li Jian Tian said with a straight face and an air of confidence.

  But his legs were shaking terribly.

  "You'd better go back, you'll only be in the way here." Mao Shi Jiu said with a glance.

  "Then I'll go back, need support call!" Li Jian Tian put his hand on his ear and made a phone call gesture.

  "Damn it, every time something like this happens, he's never around, have you noticed?" I said to Mao Shi Jiu after Li Jian Tian left.

  After careful consideration, it's indeed true that Li Jian Tian always arrives slowly after things have happened, in other words, he's the one who cleans up the mess.

  "Go and see if the moon is big outside." said Mao Shi Jiu suddenly.

  "Oh." I walked straight out.

  "What the f**k! Is this the sun?!" I raised my head and saw a bright full moon.

  Suddenly, a black shadow flew over the round moon, bringing a cool and chilly feeling. I looked at the empty street, shivered, and that feeling came again, someone was staring at me, I quickly returned to the operating room.

  "Master, today the moon is full and big." I shouted loudly.

  As I approached the operating room, I felt that the atmosphere was off, and it seemed like there was some kind of commotion inside.

  "Yang Guo, come and help quickly." Only heard Mao Shi Jiu shouting from inside with some struggling sounds.

  Rushing in for a look, Mao Shi Jiu's hands were holding the patient's hands which were wrapped all over with bandages. Mao Shi Jiu was somewhat unable to bear it.

  "What the...?! Is this a mummy?!"

  "Hurry, he's already transformed into a corpse, his power is enormous, quickly use the peach wood sword to stab his chest." Mao Jin shouted anxiously.

  "Taomu sword." I took a quick look and found it had been knocked off by the zombies at the foot of Cao Jing.

  I bent down and stretched out one hand to pick it up.

  "Hurry up! What are you still dawdling for?" Cao Shi Jiu's voice was shaking slightly as he spoke.

  I picked up the peach wood sword and made a few moves with it, but found that the space was too small to thrust.

  "Master, I can't stitch it! The space is too small."

  Cao Jingyu swiftly kicked both feet back against the wall behind him, creating a huge gap. Seizing the opportunity, he thrust with force and felt the peach wood sword pierce through the bandages and the zombie's skin. With a cracking sound, the zombie was knocked away, and Cao Jingyu broke free from his restraints. However, to his dismay, the cracking sound turned out to be the peach wood sword snapping in two.

  "This guy's skin is too thick!" I couldn't help but complain.

  "Glutinous rice was actually useless against him, I really find it strange." Mao Shi Jiu shook his sore hands.

  Cao Erjie immediately picked up a few grains of glutinous rice from the ground and chewed them in his mouth.

  "Damn it, Yang Guo, what kind of rice did you buy? At least half of it is mixed with other grains." Mao Shiying spat out the chewed-up rice.

  "I had no idea! I saw that the two types of glutinous rice looked the same, so I chose the cheaper one. Was I cheated?"

  "Give me those few talismans on you, tonight is the full moon night, the yin energy is too strong, this zombie is very fierce, ordinary talisman papers are ineffective against him."

  I pulled out those five talismans from my pocket and handed them to Cao Jingru, who then linked them together with an iron needle and threaded a red string through them.

  "Yang Guo, you block him first." Mao Shi Jiu said to me.

  "Oh." I immediately grabbed a stool from beside me and swung it at the zombie.

  Not yet close, was caught by a zombie and strangled in the neck.

  "Damn it, here we go again." I was pinched by the black-haired zombie until I had bruises.

  I picked up the plank in my hand and slammed it onto the zombie's head, slamming it three or four times, only to find that it was useless, and instead, I lost my grip on the plank, which fell to the ground.

  "Yang Guo, let him pinch for a while, I'll be fine soon."

  "When I heard Mao Shi Jiu say this, I was so angry that I wanted to go over and kill him immediately. After all, I am his precious apprentice!"

  Cao Jingyu used a red thread to string five talismans into a circle and added a few strokes on each of them.

  "Done!" My neck was about to be pinched off, but Mao Shi Jiu finally succeeded.

  "Good disciple, your master has come to save you."

  Cao Jing Yu kicked the zombie in the back with one foot, and the zombie let go of me and jumped towards Cao Jing Yu.

  Yang Guo clutched his head. "Miao Cui shouted hastily."

  I was still coughing violently, but as soon as Mao Shi Jiu spoke up, I didn't care about anything else and rushed over in a flash, pinning the zombie's waist with my legs and locking its head with my hands.

  "Don't move, it's coming." Mao Shi Jiu first bit his own finger and dotted the zombie's forehead with blood, then circled the zombie's head with a circle formed by the talisman paper.

  On the talisman paper, several colors of light were emitted, which turned out to be a few words forming bright lights, with metal, wood, water, fire and earth belonging to different colors.

  The zombie stopped moving immediately.

  "Oh my god, you're so annoying." I slapped a zombie on the head with my palm, but it didn't react.

  "Master is really impressive, what's this symbol called? The colorful ones look pretty good." I asked Mao Shi Jiu.

  "This is called Tianxia Wuxing Zhen Shi Fu, it's an upgraded version of Tianxia Zhen Shi Fu." said Mao Shi Jiu.

  "That's Tianwen Town's Corpse Seal 2.0." I exclaimed, touching the talisman paper in amazement.

  "How come this zombie is so strong? I feel like it's even more powerful than the black-haired zombie." I asked in puzzlement.

  "I also find it a bit unusual, even if tonight is the night of the full moon, the zombie that has undergone transformation is at most just a slightly more powerful white-haired zombie, but this guy's strength far exceeds that of a white-haired zombie." Mao Shi Jiu was also somewhat perplexed.

  "Let's hurry up and take him outside for cremation, I'm afraid if we wait any longer something else will happen," urged Mao Shi Jiu.

  "Oh." I put one hand on the zombie's shoulder and Cao Shi Jiu also stretched out his hand to lift him up.

  "Damn it, it's still pretty heavy."

  "Just burn it on the street!" When we were walking on the street, Mao Shi Jiu called me to stop.

  We splashed gasoline on the zombies that we had prepared beforehand.

  "Come on, what are you still hesitating about?" shouted Mao Shi Jiu.

  "Master, I found something wrong! Look over there." I pointed at the zombie's body.
