Chapter 5 Scales

Bang!

Ye Xuan slapped his other arm on the upper arm, making a muffled sound.

The area of ​​skin he photographed gradually turned red, then quickly faded.

He was testing the ability of his skin to withstand blows. So far, the zombie punch was very effective. He slapped it hard without leaving even a red mark.

Unfortunately, this body's physical aptitude is too poor. Yunshi Yunyan's Qi-Inducing Technique can only be used for half an hour before the energy absorbed by the skin membrane reaches the limit, causing his whole body to burn hot.

It would not do him any good to continue practicing at this time, so Ye Xuan had no choice but to stop.

The porridge was cooked. Ye Xuan filled a large bowl of porridge from the kitchen. By the way, he dropped a pair of newly bought pig lungs into the water tank and fed the two resentful little dragons. Listening to their cheerful thunder, he He also drank porridge with his head down and snoring.

This is the right time to pickle salted duck eggs. When you have time to go to the market to buy chickens and ducks, you can also buy some duck eggs and pickle them.

There is nothing more satisfying than having a bowl of porridge and eating salted duck eggs with oily egg yolks in the morning.

After drinking the porridge, Ye Xuan prepared all the so-called "magic tools" such as yellow talismans, paper money, soul-summoning bells, etc., and put on a feather-like Taoist robe. After packing up, Zhang Da also drove the bullock cart to the gate of the temple. Pick him up.

He sat sideways on the cart, tilted his head and shouted towards the temple: "Little Taoist Priest, let's set off?"

"Okay, I'll wait a moment!" Ye Xuan responded, whispered a few words to the two dragons in the water tank, pushed open the door of the coffin room, activated the corpse control method, and 'awakened' his guardian Temple deity.

It stretched out its arms to push open the coffin lid, stood up straight, and jumped out of the coffin, its head almost touching the beam above!

Jump so high!

Ye Xuan was startled. He looked carefully at his temple protector and found some dark scales on its neck - how could there be scales?

He instantly remembered that he had injected two young dragons' true energy into the temple protector, and concluded that it was the young dragon's true energy that caused such a change in the temple protector.

Immediately he opened the temple guardian's eyelids and saw his green eyes.

Green zombie!

The innate energy of the two young dragons directly transformed their temple protector into a Green Zombie, with dragon scales growing on his skin, which may be even more magical than the ordinary Green Zombie!

Ye Xuan was suddenly pleasantly surprised. He rubbed his hands and checked the corpse control talisman in his body again. After finding that everything was normal, he hung the wooden box containing paper money and magic weapons on its back and covered its head. A piece of black cloth was used to drive it out of the temple, and Ye Xuan locked the temple door behind him.

The Temple Protector was refined by humans and still has some yang energy. Although the sun will damage it during the day, as long as it stays in a place with strong yin energy and carefully cultivates it, this damage can be ignored.

Zhang Da just glanced at the temple guardian who was covered in black cloth, then looked away, smiled honestly at Ye Xuan and said: "Little Taoist Priest, we have to go more than 20 miles this way, so the old man came a little early. , please don’t be offended.”

"I'm joking. You should be loyal to others when entrusted by them." Ye Xuanwen responded solemnly, and at Zhang Da's signal, he got on the cart, and the 'Temple Protector' followed the cart, jumping up and down. Follow.

Because he was guarding the temple, Ye Xuan rarely went out.

Now that I have this opportunity, I follow the bumps of the cart and carefully observe the scenery on the road.

Zhang Da did not have Ye Xuan to talk to - he actually wanted to ask Ye Xuan how the temple guardian who followed him ate, but the little Taoist priest exuded an aura that made him feel mysterious and unpredictable, and he unconsciously diluted it. Zhang Da's desire to talk to him.

The cart passed through the winding path with deep tree shadows on both sides and entered the main road frequently walked by villagers within dozens of miles. The bumpiness suddenly became much less intense.

However, Ye Xuangang relaxed his muscles and bones, and not long after, the cart turned onto a more rugged path. There were fewer and fewer houses and residents around, and there were only large tracts of untouched wild forests.

If the sun hadn't risen in the sky and its rays of light hadn't been shining brightly, Ye Xuan might have been on guard at this moment.

He carefully noted down the objects around the path that could be used as landmarks. After an unknown amount of time, he saw a residential building hidden under the dense forest.

The residence was built at the foot of a high mountain, built with stone walls and built very neatly.

The dark mountain shadows made Ye Xuan suddenly feel a bit eerie in his heart. He instinctively felt that there might be uncomfortable things like snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the house, and he resisted stepping into it.

When he was wondering if this was the home of the Zhang family, Zhang Da had already spoken: "Little Taoist Priest, we are here!"

The cart entered the gatehouse and stopped in the courtyard.

Ye Xuan jumped off the carriage and felt the eyes of other people in the yard looking at him. He pretended to look at the furnishings in the yard and praised: "This house is well built and looks strong!"

The house does give people a sense of solidity, but if it is a prison in which one is imprisoned, what good can being solid be?

He suppressed the increasingly intense feeling of discomfort and glanced at the dense forest that was almost adjacent to the southern wall of the small courtyard.

The wild forest grew on a gradually upward hillside. Ye Xuan glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly caught something, and he looked at it again.

I saw tombstones one after another, stretching up the hillside and scattered in the forest.

Most of the tombstones were mostly buried in the soil, and only half of the body was exposed, like a person whose body was submerged in the soil up to the waist!

How could a few tombstones remind me of a person whose body was half buried in the soil?

Ye Xuan woke up from that sudden feeling, and suddenly felt a sense of horror in his heart, realizing that this ritual ceremony might not be as ordinary as he thought!

The architectural layout of this place is like an ancestral hall, and outside the courtyard wall is a cemetery. Except for the dead, who would want to live in such a crowded place?

Moreover, if a dead person stops in such a place, he will most likely be contaminated by evil spirits and become a ghost!

Zhang Da's family has lived here for so long, and it is unbelievable that only the old lady passed away.

Ye Xuan noticed something strange, and while secretly complaining, he also kept an eye on it.

Zhang Da helped unload the box on the back of the temple protector, and whispered to Ye Xuan: "Little Taoist Priest, I liked to be lively when I was alive. Do you remember this?"

"It's natural." Ye Xuan remained calm on the surface, but secretly wondered why Zhang Da always mentioned to him that his mother liked to be lively.

On the road, Zhang was silent most of the time. Occasionally he would say that his mother liked the excitement and hoped that Ye Xuan could make the legal affairs a noisy and lively affair.

Now that we are here, why is the first sentence still the same?

Ye Xuan pretended to look around and said: "Old man, go and do your own thing. I'll look around first to determine where to place the altar.

The altar will be opened at noon, and there is not much time left."

Sensing something unusual, he was ready to take this opportunity to escape.

I am a cook myself, so matters like exorcising evil spirits and subduing demons should be left to experts. I will just stay in the temple and raise fish and feed pigs.

"Okay." Zhang laughed and nodded, and immediately called a young man in the courtyard to help chop wood, and said, "This is one of our own family members. Let him follow you, Taoist priest. He can help if he has the strength to do anything!"

Ye Xuan's face stiffened, and he laughed and said, "I just looked around, but I don't have much energy to do."

"Hey, you can't break this etiquette!" Zhang Da couldn't help but push the young man to Ye Xuan, turned around and walked into the mourning hall.

Ye Xuan looked at Zhang Da's hurried away figure, his doubts deepening in his heart, and he cast his eyes on the young man beside him.

Facing Ye Xuan's gaze, the young man raised his head slightly, feeling a little arrogant. He also looked at Ye Xuan up and down without speaking.

"Then, walking around?" Ye Xuan asked proactively.
