Night, Hejiazhuang.

Xu Tong and his party rode horses along the path.

This Hejiazhuang was originally a military garrison, but after it was abandoned, it was repaired by the local people and became a village, but it was also sparsely populated with not many people living there.

Recently, the village has been even more restless.

Villagers always encounter some unclean things. For example, a villager went to burn incense at his ancestral grave, only to see his grandfather, who had been dead for 28 years, crawling out of the grave.

Some villagers, while collecting firewood, saw the dark shadow standing there on the mountain, and they were almost frightened to death on the spot.

The most terrifying thing is Yizhuang at the east end of the village. Every night there is a strong wind, and wild cats and dogs gather there to guard the place. At night, the eyes glow green.

Who can bear this? He quickly reported it to the government, but the government walked around and left in despair, and then nothing happened.

After going back and forth, the villagers became more courageous as time went by, and found that these dirty things were everywhere, but in the end they did not harm anyone or any animal, and even when the New Year was approaching, they even killed some wild boars that were causing harm to the village.

Instead, it's more like protecting the village.

So much so that some people feel that their ancestors are showing up and protecting their village.

And it spreads more and more, and now every seventh and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers go to the Yizhuang to bring some offerings and burn a few sticks of incense to pray for peace.

"This Lao Gao made such a big fuss that I asked General Wang to write two letters to the Yangzhou Prefect before suppressing the matter. Otherwise, the court would have regarded him as a demon and evil deed."

Gu Xibai started to complain as he walked.

Xu Tong also shook his head and said, "Why did he remember to stay in this ghost place in Yizhuang? Didn't I introduce him to Yangzhou Prison? What did he do when he ran out?"

"He said that the corpses in Yangzhou Prison are all registered by the government and cannot be stolen. The environment is so bad that it is not as comfortable as Yizhuang."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of Yizhuang on horseback.

Xu Tong took a closer look and saw that the sky above Yizhuang was filled with evil spirits. He had turned the good Yizhuang into a filthy place where evil spirits gathered.

Fortunately, Gao Zhuo had some conscience and laid boundary stakes around the area, isolating all evil spirits inside Yizhuang.

Otherwise, if so many evil spirits dispersed, this village would probably have long been turned into a Shura field.

"You guys stay here and don't let anyone in, and you don't want to go in either!"

Xu Tong turned his head and gave instructions to Ge Zhuo and the other personal guards who were following him.

It’s not that I can’t trust them, but this place is so sinister that it’s comparable to the Hangzhou Heavenly Prison. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to bear it, even if Ge Zhuo and the others have mastered the Five Tigers Kung Fu and are as powerful as a master.

.

After Ge Zhuo and others accepted the order, they stood obediently not far away and blocked the route into Yizhuang.

Then Xu Tong and Gu Xibai walked into Yizhuang.

As soon as the two of them entered Yizhuang, the evil spirit around them boiled as if they had been stimulated.

However, before the evil spirit could get closer, a roar of tiger roared out from Xu Tong's head, and the tiger's energy dispersed, forcing all these evil spirits back.

The Yin Tiger drives away all evil spirits, and these evil spirits cannot get close at all.

"Lao Gao!"

Xu Tong called Gao Zhuo.

After a while, the coffin in the righteous village creaked and creaked, and then a coffin lid slid open. Gao Zhuo poked his head out of the coffin and waved to Xu Tong: "This way!!"

Xu Tong and Gu Xibai walked over and took a look, and found that there was a mystery hidden inside the coffin. The bottom of the seemingly small coffin was actually bottomless.

After Gao Zhuo signaled the two of them to wait for him, he plunged into the coffin again.

After about ten minutes, Gao Zhuo climbed out of the coffin.

"You hollowed out the bottom??"

Xu Tong took one look at the coffin and couldn't help but move forward to examine it curiously.

I saw that the evil spirit below had become so thick that it was like a liquid. Even Xu Tong could not see clearly what was below with his naked eyes.

Immediately he opened his eyes and looked inside, only to see clearly that there were thousands of zombies densely packed below.

These zombies are not ordinary. Their skin is dark green and they look like ghosts. Even if you look closely, you will find that the flesh of these zombies is almost transparent.

"What kind of zombie are you practicing??"

They are both from the Yinmen, and Xu Tong is a descendant of the Meihua lineage. Plus he is with Gao Zhuo every day, so he also has a certain understanding of zombies.

But this was the first time Xu Tong had seen such a weird zombie.

Seeing that Xu Tong didn't recognize them, Gao Zhuo laughed proudly and pulled Xu Tong and Gu Xibai to sit down in the yard.

Then he explained to them the mysteries of these zombies in detail.

Ever since the last time at the Mei family, Mei Du gave the Mei family's corpse refining records to Gao Zhuo, Gao Zhuo has been studying hard.

Later, after receiving some advice from Yan Xiaoqi, he got the idea.

He no longer continues to be obsessed with using the power of zombies to improve his own physical strength. Instead, he is obsessed with studying the combination of zombies and poison, and is unable to extricate himself from the fun of cultivating zombies.

This time Xu Tong sent him to Yangzhou Prison. Although he did not find a suitable corpse or a place for refining the corpse there, he had another unexpected gain.

In the prison, he met a Gu sect poison master named Tang Buren, who was notorious for poisoning three hundred people in one day. After being captured and brought to justice by the court, he was sentenced to Ling Chi.

Before this guy died, he gave Gao Zhuo a very strange side task, poisoning him so that he could leave a whole body and take the body out of the prison.

When Gao Zhuo heard that there was such a good thing, he just gave him a bag of poison and secretly sent the body out of the prison.

However, Gao Zhuo had a good idea on the way and gave this guy a few more cuts.

As a result, this guy was actually not dead. Not only was he not dead, he also wanted to attack Gao Zhuo.

Fortunately, Gao Zhuo reacted quickly, and with the help of zombies and the bloody blade in his hand, he was able to kill the man cleanly. From then on, a method of refining the poison called Shadow Gu was found behind the man's corpse.

This Gu is extremely fast, good at stealth, and can gather evil energy.

When Gao Zhuo took a look, he simply used this Gu to combine with his own zombies. Unexpectedly, the effect of this combination was astonishing.

Zombies rely on Yin evil energy to increase their strength, but this Gu can gather and control Yin evil energy. The two simply complement each other.

As a result, Gao Zhuo simply stopped going back to prison and hid in the Yi Village and began to concentrate on refining corpses.

The zombies that Xu Tong saw were the ones successfully refined by Gao Zhuo. They were not very strong individually, so they could barely fight against Taoist masters for a while.

But now the number of thousands has produced a qualitative change. With the help of his own zombie formation, even if he is the best in the world, he still has a chance to retreat calmly.

When Gao Zhuo said this, Xu Tong immediately became curious and immediately expressed his desire to let Gao Zhuo pull the zombie out.

It just so happens that I can verify how much the two of them have improved in strength over the past three months.

Xu Tong's words obviously spoke to the hearts of the two of them.

The two men's rapid improvement in strength was the result of three months of hard training day and night.

As the team leader and the core of the team, Xu Tong is understandably stronger.

But as the core members of the team and the first people to follow Xu Tong, they would never allow the gap between themselves and Xu Tong to be widened to an irreparable level.

Both of them are trying their best to catch up and will never allow themselves to become a drag on the team.

Therefore, facing Xu Tong's invitation, after the two of them looked at each other, Gao Zhuo suddenly sprinkled a ball of black powder towards Xu Tong, and at the same time, Gu Xibai's fist had already hit Xu Tong.

"Fuck, you guys are playing dirty tricks??"

Xu Tong didn't expect these two people to be so shameless, so he was caught off guard and summoned the Xuanyuan Shield in front of him.

"boom!!!"

A huge muffled sound sounded in Hejiazhuang.

The common people in Hejiazhuang seemed to have become accustomed to these strange movements. They cursed and said greetings, then turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

The sound of fighting continued until dawn.

I just waited for people to wake up from their sleep, get up and take a look at the Yi Zhuang. They were dumbfounded. They saw that the original Yi Zhuang had been razed to the ground, and there was a huge hole underneath the Yi Zhuang.

Go to the bottomless depths.

There were various theories at the time. Some said it was an earth dragon ascending to heaven, while others said that a Taoist master came last night and killed the evildoers hiding here.

What is even more exaggerated is that it is said that our ancestors ran out of the graves themselves.

In short, everything was possible, but from then on, the strange things in Hejiazhuang never happened again.

But something strange happened in Shenwu Camp.

When the soldiers got up early in the morning to practice, they suddenly discovered that there was a hideous wound on Gu Xibai's chest.

Similarly, Xu Tong also has a big panda eye on his face.

Nie Gao (Gao Zhuo), who originally left the team, also came back. This guy seemed fine at all. He just grinned and always tilted his head when eating. People saw this strangely and took a closer look, only to find that this guy had two big balls.

There is no trace of the front teeth.

It's no one else's fault. This guy was too insignificant. With those You Zong standing in front of him and hiding behind to shoot hidden arrows, Xu Tong could only use the Wrestling Curse and the Dragon Binding Talisman to restrain this guy.

His front teeth were accidentally broken by himself.

However, I have to admit that the Youzong that this guy refined is very weird. Once it moves, it is almost difficult to detect with the naked eye. Xu Tong could only capture the trajectory of these Youzong with his clairvoyance.
To be continued...
