At night, when Uncle Jiu was about to fall asleep, he heard Wencai crying from outside.
Open the door and take a look.
Wencai was in front, and several people in security uniforms were behind, carrying a body covered with white cloth.
"what happened?"
Uncle Jiu came out and asked.
"Master, as soon as Brother Heng was happy today, he appointed me as the Rongcheng security captain."
"So I went on patrol at night, and as I was walking, I suddenly heard a family shouting for help again."
"I went over and saw that he was actually a flower-picking thief."
"Who am I? I am the security captain, so I kicked the door open and shouted: Stop."
"Whoever thought of shouting, he actually jumped out of the window and ran away."
"If he runs away, I will chase him. If I chase him, I will run away."
"Running away, I thought this was not going to work. I raised my hand and shot him a few times, killing him just like that."
Wencai pointed to the white cloth behind him: "That's what's lying on it."
Uncle Jiu breathed a sigh of relief: "What did you think it was? He was just a flower-picking thief. If he dies, he will die. It is not a pity for such a person to die."
When Wencai heard this, he nodded repeatedly, and then said: "Master, I thought so too, but after I beat him to death, I discovered that this flower-picking thief was none other than Shi Shaojian, the son of Uncle Shi!"
"ah!"
Uncle Jiu was stunned for a moment.
He took two steps forward, lifted up the white cloth on the body and took a look. He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
"Master, you just said that it is not a pity to die for the flower-picking thief. The princes who broke the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people."
Wencai quickly expressed his opinion.
Uncle Jiu looked at the corpse, then at Wencai, and stamped his foot: "That's what I said, but in reality, the princes broke the law, so how can they be guilty of the same crime as the common people, your uncle?"
At this point, Uncle Jiu stopped talking and said instead, "You go find Ah Heng, and I'll call your senior uncles. We'll carry the body to see your senior uncle later."
Half an hour later.
A group of people went straight to the inn.
Hearing the noise outside, Shi Jian came out of the room and frowned slightly when he saw everyone: "Hurry up, what happened?"
"Big brother."
Uncle Jiu waved his hand and asked someone to carry the body up, and said in a deep voice: "Shi Shaojian broke into the house to commit murder and had evil intentions. My apprentice Wen Cai saw him and accidentally beat him to death."
"Is there such a thing?"
Shi Jian squinted his eyes, and electric light pulsed on his fingertips.
"My condolences, Senior Brother."
The exorcist Taoist priest took a step forward: "We have already asked about this matter. Shaojian got interested. It is indeed his problem. Now the victim is also here. You have seen it too. She is the daughter of the shopkeeper of Yibin Building. If you don't believe it,
Just ask her."
"Grandmaster"
Just as the shopkeeper's daughter was about to speak, Shi Jian waved his hand and said with a smile: "How could I not believe it?"
Uncle Jiu said: "Elder brother"
"No need to say it."
Shi Jian's face was serious: "Shao Jian committed an adultery and committed a crime. There are all the witnesses and physical evidence, and he is more than innocent. If you kill him, it will save me the trouble of cleaning up the family."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Senior Brother, I didn't expect you to understand justice so well. I feel relieved when you say this."
"Um."
Shi Jian smiled and said: "It's very late. You should go back to sleep. Why would such a trivial matter disturb so many people?"
"Elder brother, you should also go to bed early."
Uncle Jiu turned around and looked at everyone: "Everyone, please go back and rest. I'm really sorry that everyone came here so late."
"It's okay, right? Let's go back first." He pressed his nose numbly and shouted to Aqiang and Ahao: "Let's go back to sleep. Are you still waiting for a midnight snack?"
As soon as Mamadi left, everyone else also scattered.
After everyone had left, Zhang Heng followed Uncle Jiu out and muttered as he walked: "Uncle Master, Master Master will not give up like this."
"I know, I've known him for decades, how could I not know what kind of person he is."
Uncle Jiu looked back at the small courtyard and whispered: "We have a lot of people today, so he can only endure it. If he endures it today, he may not be able to endure it tomorrow."
"Master, what should we do?"
Wen Cai asked from the side.
"Go back and get ready. We have a reason for this. If he wants to make a move, I will just accompany him."
After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, he looked at Wencai again: "Is this really an accident?"
Wen Cai answered the wrong question: "Master, Shi Shaojian has only been in Rongcheng for a few days. He will attack whenever he sees something sexual. I am afraid this is not the first time he has done this. How could it be an accident?"
"well!"
Uncle Jiu did not ask any more questions, but patted Wencai on the shoulder and said with a pun: "You have grown up."
After saying that, he added: "Don't rush back to Wuhua. Stay in the Taoist temple for a few days before leaving."
"Yes, Master."
Wencai responded immediately.
A night of silence.
the next day.
Ma Ma Di, No. 1 Mao, Mao Xiaofang, Qian Zhenren, and Yimei Taoist all came to say goodbye early in the morning.
Uncle Jiu enthusiastically sent everyone away and once again thanked everyone for their help.
noon.
Shi Jian also left. Before leaving, he came to say goodbye to Uncle Jiu, as if nothing had happened.
After sending Shi Jian away, Gu Gu and the exorcist approached Uncle Jiu and said, "If Senior Brother leaves in a rage, maybe nothing will happen, but if he comes to say goodbye to you with a smile, we are worried that something will happen."
."
"You are overthinking, senior brother is not that kind of person."
Uncle Jiu responded and said, "You guys should go back too, I'll take care of everything here."
Gu Gu wanted to stay for a few more days, but Uncle Jiu refused.
The two had no choice but to pack up their things and leave, along with Xu Zhenren and Zhang Heng.
"Master, uncle and the others are all gone?"
Looking at Uncle Jiu who was sitting in the yard, looking at the sky in trance, Wencai and Awei looked reluctant to leave.
"If they don't leave, how can your uncle come back to take revenge?"
Uncle Jiu looked calm: "You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no one who can prevent a thief in a thousand days. If it rains, it should rain quickly. It will always be cloudy and make people more anxious."
"Master, what you said today is so profound."
Awei took Wencai and left: "We went to fold gold ingots. During the Ghost Festival, all the gold ingots were sold."
Uncle Jiu didn't answer, he just sat in the yard looking at the sky and drinking tea.
The first night was uneventful.
The third night was peaceful and peaceful.
fifth night
Click!!
There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and it was raining lightly.
Uncle Jiu painted symbols in the Taoist temple. There were yellow symbols posted everywhere on the pillars, doors, walls, and floors.
"Master, why are you putting up so many yellow talismans on a rainy day? When I came in just now, I saw that all the yellow talismans you posted in the yard were washed away by the rain, and the cinnabar formations painted on the walls and on the ground were also washed away.
"
Awei, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a roasted chicken wrapped in oil paper, had just come back: "It's better not to be busy yet, I bought you a roasted chicken."
"Wen Cai is sleeping in the house. Let's get him up and eat together."
Uncle Jiu said without raising his head.
"Wencai, it's time to get up and eat roast chicken."
Ah Wei went back to the house and woke up Wen Cai. The two of them were eating roast chicken in the living room and watching Uncle Jiu busy.
Bang!
Bang bang!!
Not long after, there was a sudden strange noise outside the house.
Uncle Jiu came to the window and looked outside. He saw hundreds of zombies jumping from a distance in dense numbers.
"Elder brother, you are finally here!"
Uncle Jiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the large group of zombies.
"Master, there are hundreds of white zombies outside, and there is also one black zombie!"
Hearing the noise, Wencai and his wife also came over to check. After looking at it for a while, they said in surprise: "Hey, why are these zombies with silver needles stuck in their heads and talismans embroidered on their clothes?"
Uncle Jiu's eyes flickered: "Because they are controlled by others."
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse group began to attack the Taoist temple.
They first broke through the fence and then swarmed towards the Taoist temple.
Uncle Jiu looked into the courtyard.
Because it was raining, the yellow charms affixed to the fence had long been washed away by the rain.
In the courtyard, the cinnabar array painted on the ground was also in disarray, and could not function as it should at all.
"No wonder I waited five days to arrive. It turns out that I have prepared a big gift for me."
Uncle Jiu took a deep breath and said to Wencai and the other two: "Hide in the cellar and breathe softly. Don't come out unless I tell you."
"Master, let's stay and help you."
The two literary talents are worried about Uncle Jiu.
"help?"
Uncle Jiu didn't look good: "I'm afraid it's okay if you don't help. The more you help, the more trouble you will have. Get out of here."
"Master, take care."
Wencai also knew what he was capable of, so he took Awei and hurried to the cellar.
boom!!
Zombies started crashing into the gates of the Taoist temple.
Uncle Jiu didn't panic when he saw it. He picked up the chicken butt on the table and threw it into his mouth. Then he walked to the statue enshrined in the statue and took the whisk from the statue's hand.
Boom!!
There was another impact, and the Taoist temple gate was knocked down directly.
A large group of zombies rushed towards Uncle Jiu like a tide. Heizheng, who was originally jumping at the front, now very cleverly hid at the back.
"Elder brother, I'm asking for your advice today."
Uncle Jiu shouted loudly and instantly threw out the fly whisk in his hand.
But he didn't throw it at the zombies, but at the charm attached to his side.
As soon as the whisk touched it, a yellow talisman immediately stuck to it.
Swing it again and stick it directly on the zombie's head.
You know, Uncle Jiu's arm span is seventy centimeters, his whisk rod is one meter long, and his hair is one meter and two long.
Uncle Jiu held it in his hand and danced, and his attack range was within three meters. He then used the terrain inside the Taoist temple to stop and go to prevent himself from being surrounded. In just a few minutes, there were more than thirty zombies.
He was immobilized.
"Suffer it!"
As more and more zombies are immobilized, the space for movement in the Taoist temple becomes smaller and smaller.
Uncle Jiu stood by the window and glanced at the drizzle outside.
He knew that he couldn't stay in the house anymore, otherwise he would be caught by zombies while dodging. It was no joke.
"Hide well and don't come out."
Uncle Jiu shouted loudly, broke the window and jumped out.
The zombies smelled the smell and chased into the yard one after another, and soon surrounded Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu shook the fly whisk.
When the fly whisk hits the zombie, it will immediately fly backwards and become paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.
But all this is not without cost.
Without the talisman above, each time Whisk hits a zombie, it will be corroded by one point.
After suppressing more than a dozen zombies, only a wooden handle was left in the whisk.
"I should have borrowed Ah Heng's Taiping Sword if I had known earlier."
Uncle Jiu had no choice but to throw away the fly whisk and draw the peach wood sword from his back.
The peach wood sword is even worse. If it pierces the chest of a zombie and kills a zombie, it will also be corroded by three inches.
Only six zombies were killed, and only the hilt of the Taomu Sword was left, while the number of zombies around did not decrease at all. At first glance, there were only forty or so.
"Are you going to be consumed to death?"
Uncle Jiu took out the talisman from the talisman bag.
He did have a lot of talismans, but it was raining heavily outside, and the talismans were washed away soon after they were attached to the zombies' heads. Without the talismans to suppress them, the zombies would attack again, which would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
"Resign yourself to your fate, Lin Jiu."
Shi Jian walked out of the darkness, one in each hand, and two people in his hands.
"Literary talent, Awei!"
Uncle Jiu took a closer look and saw that it was not his two apprentices who fell into Shi Jian's hands.
"My previous fights with you were just a struggle for power. I never thought of killing you."
"But you should never, never, should not allow your apprentice to kill my son."
Click!
Along with a thunder, Shi Jian's expression became colder and colder: "Today, you three masters and disciples must stay alive."
Look at the zombies surrounding him, and then look at Shi Jian standing not far away.
Uncle Jiu took a deep breath: "Come on, senior brother."
buzz buzz
Before the two of them could take action, the roar of a car suddenly came from the distance.
Look up.
I saw Zhang Heng, Zhenren Xu, and Gu Gu getting out of the car, followed by ten military vehicles.
"Didn't you leave?"
Shi Jian's expression changed instantly.
"Uncle, if you leave, you can't come back again?"
Zhang Heng had a smile on his face, and there were countless soldiers with guns and ammunition standing behind him: "Besides, if we don't leave, how can you show up?"
