"Hey, where did that madman go?"
Mu Zhi originally wanted to thank Ye Ming, but in the blink of an eye, she found that he was missing.
Then he subconsciously looked at the old man:
"Master, has that lunatic left?"
Hearing this, the old man straightened his back, stroked his beard, and smiled calmly:
"Yes, this person does things without expecting anything in return. He is very upright and upright. At this time, before the matter is completed, he has already taken the first step to chase the zombies..."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw a man emerging from the bushes on the side, holding the rope that previously controlled the zombie Lin Yan.
Who else could this be if he wasn't Ye Ming?
After getting out, Ye Ming, with an exaggerated smile on his face, looked at the rope in his hand and said very preciously:
"Fortunately, luckily nothing was lost."
With that said, he ran to Mu Zhi's side in two steps, stretched out a hand in a begging gesture:
"I rescued you just now, why should you express your gratitude?"
Seeing this lunatic's behavior, Mu Zhi couldn't help but look at her master.
Seeing this, the old man wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
After coughing dryly, the old man walked to Ye Ming and said:
"The old man's name is empty, Jingzhou, I have met a fellow disciple."
"The famous sect is a great sect!"
Ye Ming said in an exaggerated tone, looking very surprised.
Among the Taoist sects, Zhengxuan sect, Mingxu sect and Taizhong sect are the three top sects.
Zhengxuanmen has been the leader of the righteous path for thousands of years, while the others have experienced ups and downs.
Nowadays, the Mingxu Sect is very popular, and it has the potential to become the second largest sect in the righteous way.
Seeing Ye Ming's expression, Old Taoist Jingzhou felt a little happy, feeling as if he could save some face.
But then I heard Ye Ming say:
"Since it's a big sect, you must be very rich, so the reward you will give me will not be small!"
"..."
Jingzhou Lao Dao wanted to retort, but when he saw Mu Zhi's eyes looking over, his face twitched slightly, and he reluctantly reached out and took out a bottle from his sleeve.
"This is a bottle of Dragon and Tiger Powerful Pills. There are thirty-six pills in total. If you take one pill, you will have the power of nine cows and two tigers for an hour.
If you don't mind it, please accept it. "
An exaggerated smile appeared on Ye Ming's face, and he took it happily.
Master Jingzhou asked again:
"You haven't asked for the name of your comrade yet?"
"Hahaha, just call me Shanyuan."
Ye Ming got the benefit, laughed, turned around and left without saying much.
Old Taoist Jingzhou wanted to exchange a few words with him, but seeing that his mental state was very unstable, he had no choice but to give up.
Seeing Ye Ming leaving, Mu Zhi asked:
"Master, does this lunatic have a high level of cultivation?"
I wanted to admit it directly, but when Master Jingzhou thought of the other party's state, he shook his head and said:
“My cultivation is not bad, but I have too many problems.
Obviously, this must be caused by the eagerness for success during practice. Mu Zhi, you have to remember..."
Mu Zhicai didn't want to listen to her master's nagging, so she said "I'm going to chase the zombies" and ran away first.
Seeing this, Master Jingzhou put his hand on his forehead, feeling quite helpless.
Looking at Ren Rui again, fortunately, he still has a well-behaved and obedient apprentice.
Ren Rui saw the master and said:
"Master, you can say whatever you want, I guarantee it goes in one ear and out the other."
Old Jingzhou said:......
Gu Junbo and others returned to Jiangji Mansion with the coffin lid and a group of captured bandits.
It was already getting brighter at this time, and Lin Xuexuan felt more at ease.
Just as he was about to discuss the zombie matter with Gu Junbo, he saw an urgent report coming from someone.
It turned out that the "King of Jin" Li Zhuyong's army had already attacked Tinghu Mansion, and Zhizhou Wang Daotong hanged himself when the city was breached.
Most of the major prefectures and counties in Gyeongju have surrendered to the "King of Jin" Li Zhuyong.
I am afraid that in the near future, a large army under the command of the "King of Jin" will attack those prefectures and counties that refuse to surrender.
When everyone heard the news, they were all shocked and uneasy.
Only Gujun Bo stood with his sword in hand and cut off the stone table to show his determination to resist the enemy and inspire people.
When everyone saw this, they obeyed and obeyed his orders.
Gu Junbo ordered the young men in the city to be selected to join the army. First, they would not be short of food and grass, and second, they would not be deducted from their pay and silver. In a short time, the candidates gathered.
They also ordered the women and children in the city to serve as logistics, pull carts and transport water, and make rice bags for injuries.
Women from Huajie and Liuxiang in the city were also recruited into military camps to boost morale, and the charges were not owed.
In addition, he went to Xinzhou to ask for help from Meng Tong, the current commander-in-chief of Xinzhou.
This person is still claiming to be a loyal minister of Xu State. I believe that he does not want Qingzhou to be controlled by Li Zhuyong, so there is a high probability that he will be moved.
While Gu Junbo was extremely busy, Lin Xuexuan was checking the material ledger in the house and taking care of his young son.
While he was busy, he suddenly saw Ye Ming appearing at the table without knowing when, looking at him with a strange smile on his face.
"Mr. Shanyuan, you are back. Can you deal with the zombies?"
Lin Xuexuan asked expectantly.
Ye Ming smiled:
"The person who tied the bell needs to be tied to untie the bell. If the resentment in the zombie's heart is not gone, it will not die. It must kill all the members of your Lin family to vent its hatred."
"Ah, the zombies are not dead yet..."
When Lin Xuexuan heard this, he suddenly panicked.
Now there are evil spirits causing trouble and man-made disasters. He, a weak man, cannot withstand such pressure. His body swayed and he collapsed directly on the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled strangely and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"This matter is not simple. As long as the zombie takes revenge and vents his grievances, everything will be easy to handle."
"But the zombies just want to destroy my whole family and let them vent their resentment, so why don't we..."
Lin Xuexuan wanted to say that Ye Ming had a bad idea, but she was afraid of offending the master.
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"I have a way to make up for it without the death of your family. Are you willing to give it a try?"
"Sir, please speak."
Lin Xuexuan's eyes lit up and she begged again and again.
Ye Ming smiled and took out a wooden sign and handed it to Lin Xuexuan:
"This is an order to replace the calamity. As long as the person's birth date is engraved on it, the calamity can be replaced.
You only need to engrave someone else's birthday and horoscope on it, and you can let them die on their behalf. In this way, your family will no longer have to worry about being harmed by zombies. "
"Death for...? Sir, do you mean to let innocent people wait for me?"
"Yes, that's it. Also, the person who replaces the tribulation must be someone who has not done anything evil.
If a wicked person takes over the tribulation, neither he nor the Lin family will be able to escape.
Remember, one life exchanges for another. "
With that said, he handed the wooden sign to Lin Xuexuan's face and looked at him with a smile.
"Suicide..."
Lin Xuexuan looked at the wooden sign with a pale face. After hesitating for a while, he took it with slightly trembling hands, still panicking in his heart.
When Ye Ming saw him taking the wooden sign, he laughed and seemed very satisfied.
"Now that you have made a decision, act quickly. The zombies will be here at the latest tonight."
After hearing what the expert said, Lin Xuexuan quickly stood up and went out, falling down once in the process.
When it comes to the person to die for, the first person he thinks of is the concierge Lao Liu.
Old Liu had fasted and chanted Buddha's name all his life, and had never done a single bad thing. He also had no children, so it was most appropriate for him to help him die.
It was only after arriving outside that I learned that the concierge, Old Liu, had passed away yesterday evening.
When Lin Xuexuan heard this, he immediately sighed, it would be good if Old Liu lived one more day.
Now that there was no best candidate, he had no choice but to ask people in the mansion who were not related to the Lin family if they would be willing to die for him.
Under the heavy reward, there will naturally be people willing to die on his behalf.
It's just that after the birthdays and horoscopes of those people were written, all of them turned black.
Seeing this, Lin Xuexuan hurriedly asked Ye Ming why this was happening.
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Evil people's horoscopes will naturally turn black."
Those people explained that they had not done any evil, so how could they be considered evil people?
The answer I got was that killing was an evil act. These people had more or less killed animals and birds, so naturally they couldn't do it.
When Lin Xuexuan heard this, he went to find the monk in the city.
There were many monks in Jiangji Mansion, but none of them met the conditions, which made Lin Xuexuan distressed.
At this time, some people said that babies who were not born for a long time must meet the conditions for death.
When Lin Xuexuan heard this, she was moved first and then hesitated.
There are more than forty relatives of the Lin family in the Lin Mansion. If he wants to save them all, wouldn't it mean killing more than forty children?
How could Lin Xuexuan, who had always been kind-hearted, accept this.
At this time, Ye Ming said that the thoughts of babies are pure and flawless. One person can kill two people, and only more than twenty babies are needed.
Lin Xuexuan still looked troubled when she heard this.
He wasn't a bad person at all, but when he heard that he was going to kill so many children, he couldn't help but feel frightened.
At this time, I subconsciously thought of asking Gu Junbo for advice.
At this time, Gu Junbo was busy in the city commanding the deployment of defenses in response to the enemy.
Seeing Lin Xuexuan coming in a hurry, she pulled him on the side of the road and asked what was going on.
Seeing his wife, Lin Xuexuan felt much calmer, took out the scapegoat sign, and informed Gu Junbo that he needed more than twenty babies to die as scapegoats.
Hearing this, Gu Junbo looked into Lin Xuexuan's eyes:
"What do you mean, husband?"
Lin Xuexuan was a little afraid to look at his wife, her eyes flickered and said:
"If I am the only one who dies, why should I fear death? I only have a family of more than 40 people..."
"Husband, do you want to use this method to survive?"
When asked by Gu Junbo, Lin Xuexuan hesitated and was speechless.
Seeing his performance like this, Gu Junbo understood and said:
"Husband, do you know what I think?"
"I don't know..."
But Gu Junbo took the wooden sign, drew his sword and chopped it, and the wooden sign broke into pieces.
Lin Xuexuan was shocked when he saw this:
"Madam, you..."
Gu Junbo added another kick and crushed the wooden sign to pieces:
"Husband, you come here with a kind heart. I didn't want you to be so confused today.
This method seems to be a great good, but in fact it is a great evil.
Have you forgotten that we are being robbed today because of the sins of the ancestors of the Lin family?
If we do this, even if you and I can live in peace, won't we put future generations to death? "
When Gu Junbo said this, Lin Xuexuan felt aggrieved and wanted to shed tears:
"Madam, I don't want to either, but other than that, what else can I do?"
Gu Junbo said:
"Come on, come on, come on, if you die, you will die. Bring the zombie to ask for his life. I will fight for my life with it and die in front of you!"
"If my wife dies, I will never live alone!"
Lin Xuexuan said quickly.
Seeing this, Gu Junbo, who originally had a determined look on his face, suddenly smiled.
Lin Xuexuan was puzzled and asked why.
Gu Junbo smiled and said: "I laugh at you, husband, for being too pedantic. What do you think the master's name is?"
"Good luck."
"Since it is a good relationship, how can we let you and me do this evil method? This is a way for experts to test our minds."
"What, a test?"
"Okay, husband, you can go find an expert again and ask for a way to save me. I think you will be able to find something."
Seeing that his wife was so sure, Lin Xuexuan also believed in her judgment and returned home to look for Ye Ming.
At this time, Ye Ming was watching a group of pigs eating in the pig pen in the backyard.
One of the pigs was extremely thin and was always bullied by the other pigs and had little to eat.
When Lin Xuexuan saw Ye Ming, he quickly stepped forward and said:
"Sir, did you use the wooden sign earlier to test my sincerity? I had dirty thoughts and made Sir laugh."
Ye Ming threw a stone, which made the thin little pig groan and make it unable to eat any pig food. He said in his mouth:
"Although you have selfish intentions, you have not actually done any evil. In terms of conduct, you can barely pass the test."
Lin Xuexuan looked happy when he heard this:
"May I ask, sir, how to solve the zombie disaster?"
Ye Ming heard this, picked up another stone, hit the skinny pig in the pig pen, and said casually:
"Just sacrifice a prison animal."
"So Easy?"
When Lin Xuexuan heard this, she was a little in disbelief and looked at the skinny pig...
...
