The main business of Taoist Master Simu is to drive away corpses.
The world that Zhang Ziyu came to was different from the previous life at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. Because of the existence of cultivators, it was even more chaotic and complicated.
Warlords are rampant, bandits are everywhere, everything is more chaotic than the next.
Many places are so poor that if you want to survive, you have to go out to make a living.
When making a living in troubled times, there are many accidents.
As for the Xia people, they pay attention to returning a fallen leaf to its roots, even if it is dead, the soul must return to its hometown.
So, this business of exorcising corpses came about.
Zhang Ziyu said before that there was no money to be found in exorcising corpses, but that was not entirely true. After all, the money collected for a trip to excise corpses ranged from a dozen oceans to hundreds of oceans.
These days, the annual income of an ordinary manual worker is only about ten dollars. For poor people, living is considered a good life.
Therefore, it is said that exorcising corpses is very expensive, and Taoist Master Simu is very rich, at least that is how the small treasury comes from.
There are generally two types of commissions for corpse removal business.
One is entrustment by family members. When they learn that a relative has died in a foreign land, they entrust Taoist Priest Four Eyes to go to that place and bring the body back.
The other is that a fellow countryman dies in a foreign land, and the fellow countrymen who came with him raise money and entrust Taoist Master Shimu to take him home.
The former one is pretty good. After all, there are basically no accidents and 80% of the time it can be delivered.
In the latter case, sometimes after sending it over, the family has moved away, or the entire village may have been killed by bandits.
If no one takes the corpse away, then we have no choice but to bring it back to our own dojo, then give it a good salvation and cremate it.
Brothers Zhang Ziyu and Qian Jiale went to the room where the walking corpses were parked.
When you push the door open and enter, you will see small cubicles separated by straw mats on both sides of the room. They are more than one meter wide and about two meters high. In each small cubicle is a walking corpse, with a small bench and incense placed underneath.
Candle.
"Oh, there are so many brothers who haven't been sent out. I guess the whole family is gone."
Qian Jiale shook his head and sighed, there were more and more zombies that could not be sent back every year.
Zhang Ziyu said: "The world is in chaos, maybe the family down there will be in order."
Qian Jiale's face froze. You are so neat and tidy. Aren't you afraid that these guys will wake up and kill you?
"Junior brother, you control the one on the left, and I control the one on the right."
"no problem"
Zhang Ziyu had just picked up the bell and pinched it with his hands, and the next moment he suddenly remembered a pleasant sound in his mind.
"The Monster Ranch is successfully activated!"
Zhang Ziyu was so excited that his eyes filled with tears. After waiting for so many years, Goldfinger finally finished reading the article.
"Senior brother, I have a stomachache and need to go to the hut. I'll leave it to you here."
"No, junior brother, you want to fish again..."
Qian Jiale looked confused. Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ziyu disappeared.
Zhang Ziyu slipped out and hid in the hut, then silently thought about Monster Farm in his heart, and disappeared.
Zhang Ziyu's eyes flashed, and he appeared in the so-called Monster Ranch.
The green pasture comes into view. At first glance, it is all green grass, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.
On the left side of the pasture, rows of hard black wood formed a fence. There were two simple rooms beside the fence, both of which were wooden structures.
"This pasture is quite large."
Zhang Ziyu looked around, then focused on Monster Ranch to receive information from Monster Ranch.
The ranch is divided into three areas, free land, mimic fence and two special rooms, one is the Heavenly Trading Room and the other is the processing workshop.
The free land is the grassland in front of Zhang Ziyu, which covers an area of about 10 hectares. When converted into acres, it is about 150 acres.
The spiritual energy of the free land is not low, and the quality of the things planted on it will be slightly improved due to these spiritual energy, and the growth rate will be faster.
Zhang Ziyu is the master of the free land. He can change the terrain of the free land by his own will, turning it into a mountain and a river, and into a valley, all in one thought, which is extremely convenient.
The role of freedom is not small, but it is still a side function of this ranch, and the core function is still the mimic fence.
The mimic fence is a place where monsters are imprisoned and raised. As long as they are imprisoned, there is no possibility of voluntary escape. They will be raised honestly and produce things that can be used.
As the names of the Processing Workshop and All-Heaven Trading Room suggest, one is a workshop for processing various things, including equipment and elixirs. The other is a room for trading things with guests from all heavens and worlds.
Of course, the two rooms are now empty, and the Zhutian Trading Room has not started randomly summoning guests.
Zhang Ziyu, a novice monster rancher, still needs to raise a monster first.
After Zhang Ziyu took in all the information, his eyes suddenly lit up and he almost looked like a small coin.
After becoming a disciple of Taoist Master Four Eyes, Zhang Ziyu roughly figured out what kind of world he was in.
Supernatural phenomena are everywhere, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, and it is also a Dharma-ending world where spiritual energy is gradually drying up.
The speed of cultivation among practitioners is slowing down day by day, and resources naturally become more and more precious.
Although Zhang Ziyu fished, he always thought about making a lot of money outside, just to get more resources for cultivation.
After all, after traveling through time, even though I am not a disciple of Uncle Jiu, I can't be too far behind those 'disciples' of Uncle Jiu who became immortals and ancestors, right?
To live a long life, to be at ease, to fish and relax, this is also a big goal.
Now that we have this Monster Ranch, we finally have some confidence.
"But we have to get a monster to lock it in first."
Zhang Ziyu thought about it, his eyes gradually brightened, and he said, "How about locking up a walking corpse first?"
The walking corpses, that is, the guests outside, have gathered Yin Qi and begun to show their corpse Qi, but they are still under control and have not transformed into zombies.
This thing should also be among the monsters.
Zhang Ziyu left the Monster Ranch and walked towards the compound.
"Pa"
As soon as he came back, Taoist Master Four Eyes caught him, rubbed Zhang Ziyu's face with both hands, and started ruthlessly ravaging him.
"Good apprentice, did you fall into the toilet?"
"Four...call (Master), quickly...put your elbows (hands) down."
Taoist Master Simu let go of Zhang Ziyu and said, "Get up the altar, burn incense, and send these guests away."
"The Supreme Lord's decree transcends your dead souls, all ghosts and ghosts, and is blessed by the four lives..."
The four-eyed Taoist priest recited the rebirth mantra for salvation, threw out a handful of paper money, and the three-purple bell in his hand jingled with a melodious sound.
"I'm sorry, brothers. Originally, I wanted to send you home, but troubled times harm people. Your family has either moved or is gone. It's impossible to go back now. I'm here to make the decision and send you home.
All brothers, if you can save yourself, your next life will be better."
The four-eyed Taoist priest babbled a few words, then rang the Sanqing bell and handed it to Zhang Ziyu.
"Ziyu, go and send them away and burn them clean."
"Okay, Master."
Zhang Ziyu was happy when he heard that. He thought that he had no chance to do something dirty, but now he could make his own arrangements.
Taoist Master Four Eyes looked at his disciple strangely. It was strange that the fish-fishing king was so active.
Fortunately, Taoist Master Simu didn't pay attention to these details and took Jiale to finish the work and go into the room.
"Jingle bell"
The Sanqing bell rings and the talisman paper is burned.
"The corpses listen to the command and the bells serve as a guide. Brothers, come with me."
Zhang Ziyu led a few walking corpses out of the yard, and then walked slowly towards the nearby forest.
Naturally, you cannot handle walking corpses in your own yard, otherwise the smell will be unpleasant.
All the way to an open space near the grove, Zhang Ziyu stopped ringing the bell.
There are ten walking corpses in total, all wearing black robes, which is different from the ones in the movie.
They are all people who died in a foreign land, and everyone is wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty.
The black robes they were wearing were given to them by Taoist Priest Simu in order to facilitate the removal of corpses and avoid causing trouble.
Ten walking corpses stood in front of Zhang Ziyu. Zhang Ziyu glanced left and right and looked carefully.
"Brothers, if I have anything to ask of you, please choose a lucky tourist. Don't blame me if I offend you. Okay, it's you."
Zhang Ziyu looked at it and finally chose an honest man with a Chinese character face.
Anyway, they are about the same strength, so it is better to bully honest people.
After driving the selected zombie aside, Zhang Ziyu set up a fire and began to burn the remaining nine zombies.
After doing all this, Zhang Ziyu placed his back on the last walking corpse, and then thought about it.
