Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

Chapter 183: Dean Maria

…

"Taoist Priest, do you think...?"

After waving his hand to signal Liu Asheng not to worry, Xu Junming took a few steps forward.

"Go to Maoshan Nanzong Xu Junming again, and be entrusted by Luo Taibao, the mayor of Anyuan Town, to eliminate the zombie scourge that has recently occurred in the town."

"My name is Maria. I am a nun from Xiangjiang and the dean of this church."

After the two parties greeted each other.

“Abbess Maria, may I see your church?”

Maria hesitated for a while. Although there was nothing shameful in the church, if a foreign teacher could visit casually, what if it would be blasphemous?

"Dean Maria, six people have died in the town now. All houses in the town that have been vacant for a long time will be searched. If you don't agree, I'm afraid the entire Anyuan Town residents won't agree." Xu Junming said.

"The Taoist priest is right. Anyone who prevents us from catching zombies is the enemy of Anyuan Town."

Liu Asheng echoed.

Maria considered that she had just arrived and her foundation was not deep. If you go against public opinion, you may find it difficult to gain a foothold here in the future.

"The church is the sanctuary of the Almighty Lord, and there can be no evil spirits. But since the Taoist Priest wants to see it, please come in."

"Thank you very much."

Xu Junming strode towards the earth building in the middle, where the gloomy atmosphere was the heaviest in the entire church.

Climb the three stone steps and push open the somewhat decayed wooden door. Directly opposite the narrow stairwell, a staircase made of thick wood leads to the second floor.

The door to the left hand side is closed with an iron lock. The dust on the door has soaked into the wood. Although there are traces of cleaning, it still looks dirty.

"What is this place?"

“This was the ashram of the last priest.”

"Open it, go in and take a look."

"I don't have the key."

"This lock looks brittle than a vegetable. It opens when you touch it."

"No, this is the most solemn holy place in the church. Doing this is disrespectful to God."

"Oh well."

Xu Junming put his left hand behind his back, and a ray of spiritual light popped up and quickly disappeared into the wooden door. Soon, smoke from fireworks came out from inside.

"It seems like there's a fire somewhere?"

The fat female cultivator soon discovered the firelight coming from under the wooden door, and was instantly shocked.

"Oops, there's a fire inside, put out the fire quickly."

Xu Junming picked up the brick next to him at the right time and handed it over.

Before she could say thank you, the fat female cultivator took it and smashed it with her wave without hesitation. The force was so strong and the swing was so urgent that in just a few strokes, the entire iron lock was smashed down.

"Clang!"

Due to excessive force and age, the entire wooden door fell off.

The fat female cultivator was unable to stop herself and fell to the ground following the wooden door.

Countless dust was kicked up.

"Ahem...!"

The fat girl couldn't stop coughing.

Xu Junming waved his sleeves, and a strong wind flew in, picking up the raised dust and flying outside.

He reached out and helped the fat female Xiu up.

"Are you okay?"

"Where's the fire? Where's the fire?" After shaking her head, the fat female cultivator quickly looked around.

"Maybe it was suppressed."

The entire retreat room is about 50 to 60 square meters in size. There is a sarcophagus in the middle, and the beams are covered with dried garlic heads.

A withered skeleton knelt on the ground, with a circle of dried garlic beside it.

In front of him was a small table with an altar placed on it, and above the altar was a black cross.

"oops…!"

The fat female cultivator shouted and hid behind Xu Junming.

Apparently she also saw the kneeling corpse.

But Xu Junming didn't expect that the fat female cultivator who looked more powerful than men would be afraid of the bones of someone who had been dead for many years!

"His clothes look a bit like the person in the photo."

Xu Junming pointed to the photo frame hanging on the wall.

The fat female cultivator came over and looked at the photo.

"Father Qi? He is the previous missionary."

The fear on the face of the fat female cultivator disappeared, she walked around Xu Junming, walked behind the corpse and knelt down.

"It turns out you didn't give up your priesthood. The church thought you were AWOL, but in fact you have been fighting the devil here. I will help you explain to the church. Rest in peace, Father Pray!"

Xu Junming saw another photo on the wall.

"There should be another priest."

The fat female cultivator turned her head and glanced.

"More than ten years ago, two priests came here to spread the glory of the Holy Lord. Father Qi was attacked by the devil. I think the other priest could not escape the evil either."

Xu Junming nodded and walked to the corpse. Seeing him holding his hands behind his back, with the one-foot-long wooden sword deeply embedded in the heart of his sternum, he understood.

"It turned out to be suicide."

The wooden sword is also a magical weapon, but it has not been warmed and maintained for more than ten years and is basically useless.

I looked around with a bronze mirror and saw no ghost.

He stretched out his hand to grab it, and a trace of dark red mist flew into his hand from the shriveled heart of the corpse.

As soon as his consciousness touched him, a bloodthirsty desire arose from the bottom of his heart.

"What a rich blood, and the power to stir up desire."

The light of the Pure Heart Talisman flashed, instantly suppressing the bloodthirsty desire in his heart. Temporarily seal the blood into a dream of yellow beams.

After more than ten years, there is still a trace of vitality remaining, which shows how tyrannical its power was in the beginning.

"To be able to fight by committing suicide, this Father Qi can be considered a profound believer."

Go around the empty sarcophagus and come to the back of the room.

There is a bed here, but Xu Junming's eyes are not on the bed, but looking up.

The roof was densely covered with bats.

The bats all carry that weird blood energy, the corpse energy is even thicker, and they also have a weird soul power.

Noticing Xu Junming looking over, all the bats opened their mouths and screamed, their red eyes showing bloodthirsty.

"So many bats!"

The fat female cultivator heard the sound and looked over.

He was instantly frightened by the dense swarm of bats and screamed.

"Ignorant fool."

With a slap on the magic bag, countless yellow rice grains flashing with colorful lights flew out, passing through the bodies of all the bats as if they were illusory.

Whenever this yellow rice is touched, the soul will be taken away.

Without a soul, all that's left is a pile of motionless flesh.

With a wave of his sleeves, all the bat corpses fell into the open sarcophagus next to them. In just a moment, the sarcophagus with a space of two to three cubic meters was filled.

He stretched out his hand to grab it, and a thick wisp of blood energy, mixed with strong corpse energy, rolled out, fell into the palm of his hand, followed the meridians, and fell into the dantian to grind the yin and yang.

The millstone rotates, and the blood is ground into pure qi and blood and a pure spiritual power.

The former was absorbed by Xu Junming's body, and the latter was transferred to Yi Meng Huang Liang.

Dealing with corpse qi is even more familiar.

However, he did not refine all these strange blood energy and corpse energy, but retained a trace to suppress it in the Yin and Yang Great Mill.

A wisp of sparks popped up and touched the sarcophagus, and the bat corpse inside burned instantly.

Within a matter of seconds, it was burned to ashes.

"It's up to the layman to deal with these ashes. I'll take my leave."

The fat female cultivator nodded subconsciously.

She is still immersed in Xu Junming's powerful magic, full of shock and unable to extricate herself.

After looking around with the help of the bronze mirror and seeing that there was no more filth in the room, he turned around and walked out.

"Taoist Master, how are you?" Liu Asheng came over quickly.

"Let's go, let's go look elsewhere."

"What about this church...?"

"The church is fine."

The two left, and four young female monks swarmed around the fat female monk.

"Dean, why is he gone?"

"Yes, yes, why didn't you look at those two houses?"...

The fat female cultivator said impatiently as her brain hurt from the noise.

"Hey, stop arguing and come with me."

Finally, he glanced at Xu Junming's back and led the four female disciples into the retreat room. He wanted to deal with Father Qi's bones and the bat ashes.

In addition to the bats in the church, he also cleaned up a large number of 'corpse bats' in the shade of the trees by the river. After using the yin and yang grinder to absorb the corpse air that had merged into the river water, he found no other abnormalities.

Back at the town hall, Luo Taibao, Lou Guangnan, and several squires from Anyuan Town were waiting for him.

"Taoist Master Xu, how are you?" Luo Taibao asked.

"Two batches of 'corpse bats' have been cleaned up, but the zombies have not been found yet." After a pause, "Mayor Luo, where are the people who have been bitten by the zombies?"

"Caught and burned to death."

"Where are the ashes?"

"Buried in a mass grave at the east end of the village."

"I want to see it."

"It's just some ashes, what can the Taoist priest see?" Luo Taibao asked.

"Pindao has his own means, so he asked Mayor Luo to help lead the way."

"I'll come. Director Xu, I'll show you the way."

Lou Guangnan came out of the crowd, rubbing his hands with a flattering smile on his face.

Obviously, the one hundred taels of gold before had completely changed his attitude towards Xu Junming.

"Captain Lou is willing to help guide the way, that would be great."

Lou Guangnan nodded.

"Mayor Luo, I know the place where the ashes are buried, so let me take Director Xu there."

"No, it's okay. Let's go together. ... Taoist Master Xu, please." Luo Taibao said.

Xu Junming nodded unequivocally, turned around and walked out of the town hall.

The group left Anyuan Town and came to the mass graves on the outskirts.

There are overgrown weeds, tombs everywhere, and old pines growing alternately, looking strange and weird.

Crows stood on the branches and watched these people coming from afar, showing no intention of hiding.

A cool breeze blew by. Lou Guangnan, Luo Taibao and other people who came all shivered and looked around suspiciously, with panic in their expressions.

If it weren't for the fact that the sun was still hanging above our heads, even if there were many people, we might not have the courage to come here.

"Daozhang Xu, that's it. I remember very clearly that I asked them to bury the ashes there."

Lou Guangnan pointed to the land next to a locust tree.

Xu Junming nodded and walked over.

Judging from the color of the earth, it seems that it has been just a few days ago and the grass has not grown yet.

He reached out and grabbed it, and a wisp of light red blood and corpse energy flew out from the ashes under the soil layer.

Taoists who practice qi are very sensitive to all kinds of qi. As long as there is a trace left, they can be found.

His spiritual consciousness took a moment and compared the blood energy and corpse energy he got from the church bat.

"It's indeed the same origin!"

He took out the Eight Diagrams Plate from the magic bag, and with a push of magic power, the blood energy and corpse energy were sucked in.

"The patriarchal clan of the Qing Dynasty can be traced back to its roots!"

The pointer spun rapidly.

Finally, it points to the northeast. After freezing for two seconds, it points to the southeast again.

"Two places?"

"Daozhang Xu, how are you?" Luo Taibao stepped forward and asked.

"I found it. Come with me."

Luo Taibao nodded, watched Xu Junming walking in front, then fell a few steps behind, grabbed Lou Guangnan, and whispered.

"Captain Lou, have you called all the security team?"

"Why?"

"Although this Taoist priest Xu seems to have some ability, he is still younger. We don't know whether he can catch that 'zombie'. If he catches it, everything will be fine. If he fails to catch it, there will be security guards If the team is here, we won’t be buried with him.”

When Lou Guangnan heard this, he nodded in agreement. He was also a person who cherished his life.

"What Mayor Luo said makes sense."

"come over!"

Recruiting a soldier, "You go back and ask the brothers to take the guy and wait at the entrance of the town."

After the soldier nodded, he hurriedly ran towards the town.

Xu Junming's five senses were sharp, so he naturally heard their whispers, but he was left to their own devices, as long as he could kill the demons and earn merit.

Returning to the entrance of the town, twelve soldiers carrying rifles came forward.

Seeing his men, Lou Guangnan's face glowed with pride.
