Chapter 64 Breaking Free from the Shackles
Chapter 64 Breaking Free from the Shackles
As soon as he left Huangquan Inn, Qiu Sheng stood behind his seventh uncle's wheelchair very skillfully and pushed it.
Of course, this doesn't mean he's smart.
The main thing is that as soon as Seventh Uncle’s wheelchair left the Huangquan Inn, it no longer had the ability to go wherever it wanted.
So he naturally had to shoulder the heavy responsibility and push his seventh uncle to Tengteng Town.
As they walked towards Tengteng Town, they saw more and more corpses on the ground. Some of them were cows and sheep, but most of them were human. Qiu Sheng was horrified by the sight.
"Master, you've always said there are zombies in this Teng Teng Town, but you never told us that these zombies are so fierce!"
"We have seen so many corpses along the way. I am afraid that the entire Tengteng Town and even more people have been eaten by these zombies."
"Zombies that suck blood are already very fierce. Can we still deal with them after they sucked so much blood?"
Listening to Qiu Sheng's endless questions, Uncle Jiu, who was standing by with a peach wood sword and a Bagua mirror in his hand, seemed very confident:
"This zombie that sucked blood is different from other zombies that also sucked blood, and they also have different talents and strengths."
"If an alien like Old Master Ren sucked the blood of his relatives and then added the blood of an entire town, he would have become a flying corpse long ago."
"Those flying corpses that can fly and suck blood from a distance are a disaster for the entire spiritual world and will definitely cause great suffering to all living beings."
When he said this, Uncle Jiu paused, and then continued:
"But then again, most zombies in this world are mediocre. Old Master Ren is a rare species."
"The zombies in Teng Teng Town are quite powerful, but they are not that powerful either."
"Although these zombies suck a lot of blood, their upper limit is also visible to the naked eye. They definitely cannot become flying zombies. Otherwise, do you think this Teng Teng Town can still exist?"
After listening to Uncle Jiu's words, Qiu Sheng seemed to understand something and didn't seem to be so scared anymore:
"If what you said is true, Master, then this Teng Teng Town can be regarded as a turtle in a jar being kept by the masters of the spiritual world?"
Having been with his Seventh Uncle for such a long time, and having recently become more enlightened, Qiu Sheng's ability to understand has naturally increased rapidly.
For a moment, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but look at him differently:
"Not bad, you have some brains!"
While Uncle Jiu and Qiu Sheng were teaching and learning, Song Feng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, sneered:
"Qiu Sheng, sometimes you have to be smarter and look at things from two sides. Don't be fooled by a single word..."
After hearing what his seventh uncle said, Qiu Sheng subconsciously asked back:
"Seventh Uncle, what do you mean by this?"
Similarly, Uncle Nine also stared at Uncle Seven with wide eyes. He wanted to see whether this old man could spit out ivory from his dog's mouth.
This matter won’t end until it is made clear today!
Looking at Uncle Nine who was staring at him, Song Feng seemed very calm. While being pushed by Qiu Sheng, he said with a smile:
"This Teng Teng Town is just a natural disaster or man-made disaster, and it is the type that is extremely difficult to deal with."
"For example, some righteous people today claim that they are keeping the zombies in Teng Teng Town in captivity. That is just a fig leaf that some people use to cover up the so-called righteous path."
When he said this, he pointed to Teng Teng Town which was already visible to the naked eye in the distance, and then slowly said:
“Although many zombies in Teng Teng Town no longer have the potential to attack flying zombies, it cannot be said that these zombies have become prey.”
"Let's not talk about anything else. If I'm not mistaken, there will be at least three waves of zombies and three zombie kings in Teng Teng Town."
"The zombie kings I'm talking about are all comparable to Old Master Ren. Just imagine how dangerous this is."
"Imagine, the three-headed zombie king leads hundreds of zombies to jump out. Isn't that a shocking scene?"
Hearing what his seventh uncle said, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but shudder. He felt scared just thinking about this scene.
One Old Master Ren is scary enough, but if there are three, it would be a disaster.
If these three old Mr. Ren came with hundreds or thousands of zombies, it would be easy for them to massacre the town and destroy the village.
This is so terrifying!
However, although Song Feng's words made Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai feel terrified, Uncle Jiu found the key point:
"Seventh Uncle said that there are three zombie kings in Teng Teng Town. Is there any basis for this?"
Although he had been unhappy with his Seventh Uncle for a long time, he had to admit that the old man had real stuff.
Although Maoshan has a special method of observing qi.
But now that he was so far away from Tengteng Town, he could only vaguely see its shadow in the distance, so he didn't dare to make such a definite judgment!
When three people walk together, there must be one person who can be my teacher. This old guy has a lot of good things in his head. What the master said is right. There is no harm in learning more!
Listening to Uncle Jiu's words, Song Feng glanced at him from the corner of his eye, then coughed softly:
"Hmm... My throat is a little dry. It would be better if it had some water..."
Seeing the old man's smug look, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but twitch his lips.
But now the offense and defense have become different.
If one wants to learn something from this old man's hands, it seems appropriate to hand him a bowl of water.
After hypnotizing himself, Uncle Jiu then held the hot water he had prepared specially in front of Song Feng with both hands, with a sullen face:
"Seventh Uncle, please~"
Although this sounds respectful, it would be better if we ignore Uncle Jiu's creaking teeth.
But the more Uncle Jiu did this, the happier he became. He took the kettle and drank a sip of water, then he slowly said:
"This young man needs to practice more!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Jiu's face suddenly darkened, and it was very clear even under the moonlight.
For a moment, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai hid behind the two men and laughed foolishly:
“Hehehehe…it’s finally Master’s turn…”
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. The master always bullies them, and now being bullied by their seventh uncle can be considered as revenge for them.
However, when Uncle Jiu looked at them, the two of them suddenly stopped smiling and looked very serious, as if they had never smiled before.
Knowing that this time he was going to get coffin fungus for himself, Song Feng felt embarrassed to tease him too much, and then he smiled and said:
"The way of looking at qi is nothing more than observing the heaven and earth, while the way of feng shui is about hiding the wind and gathering qi. The two have something in common."
"Traditional Chinese medicine requires observation, listening, questioning and palpation, and Feng Shui also requires observation, listening, questioning and palpation, but one is about looking at the person and the other is about looking at the Qi!"
"…How is it? Do young people have any different insights?"
Seeing Song Feng raising his head and pointing to Teng Teng Town, which was just a dark shadow in the distance, Uncle Jiu seemed to understand something:
"Seventh Uncle... do you mean that Feng Shui can be used to predict evil spirits? Observation, listening, questioning and palpation can all be used as means to detect evil spirits?" Sometimes, knowledge and experience are enough, and all that is lacking is a little guidance from an expert.
Now that he had received some pointers from his Seventh Uncle, Ninth Uncle seemed to have understood something and said:
“I see…I see…I see…I see!”
“The wind gathers and the energy gathers. This energy… this wind… this land… is indeed three heads! There is no doubt that there are indeed three zombies!”
When he finished speaking, Uncle Jiu was pinching his fingers, measuring the direction, and even sniffing, looking as if he was confident.
He looked even more confident than Song Feng.
Seeing that Uncle Seven had fooled Uncle Nine with just a few vague words, Qiu Sheng's face was filled with envy:
"Seventh Uncle, I want to learn... I want to learn this... If I can learn this, I can cheat money from my master to buy delicious food in the future!"
After Qiu Sheng finished speaking, Wencai also poked his head out from behind:
"Seventh Uncle, I want to learn too!"
It's a blessing to learn such a magical skill. We can't let Qiu Sheng take all the credit, otherwise we will just be fooled in the future.
However, before Song Feng could respond, Uncle Jiu slapped them on the head and slapped them aside:
"What are you studying for? You're just not learning well all day long!"
Although he beat up the two younger ones, Uncle Nine's attitude towards Uncle Seven was no longer the same as before.
There was a hint of guilt in his tone.
After all, he really learned something from his seventh uncle, the old senior!
Seeing that they were about to make trouble again, Song Feng glanced at the moonlight above his head which was gradually covered by dark clouds, and then knocked on the wheelchair:
"In less than an hour, the moon will be completely covered by dark clouds. Don't let the time run out while you're having fun..."
The main reason why they were so relaxed was that there were no dark clouds covering the moon yet. Uncle Jiu had already calculated the time, otherwise he would not have been able to chat with them about these things.
After hearing what his seventh uncle said, Qiu Sheng obediently pushed the wheelchair:
"Seventh Uncle, you haven't finished yet. Please continue. I'm very curious about these things in the spiritual world."
"In the past, our master always asked us to practice, but he didn't tell us much about these things. Why don't you tell us about them, tell us about them..."
After hearing Qiu Sheng's words, Song Feng instead looked at his uncle Jiu, who was standing next to him with one hand behind his back, with a questioning look.
Seeing the questioning look from Uncle Seven, Uncle Nine couldn't help but speak up again and again:
"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's mainly because they didn't even want to practice before, let alone contact the spiritual world."
"If you hadn't given Qiu Sheng this opportunity, I would have just asked him to help Wen Cai look after the charity cemetery..."
According to Uncle Jiu's character, he would not bother to explain these things, but he felt a little guilty after having just gained some benefits.
After seeing Uncle Jiu's explanation, Song Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then looked helplessly at Qiu Sheng next to him:
"You did this all by yourselves!"
Isn’t the advantage of an apprentice under the master-apprentice system that he or she follows the master for many years, listens to the master’s words and deeds, and already has a lot of experience before he or she even enters the world?
I didn't expect that these two idiots would ruin such good conditions. No wonder Uncle Jiu is so disappointed in them.
This is Uncle Jiu's apprentice. If it were his apprentice, dozens of straw men and snake whips would have been scrapped by now.
Seeing the gaze of their seventh uncle, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai could not help but lower their heads in embarrassment:
"...Seventh Uncle...I was still young at that time...Now we have changed..."
Song Feng, who had long known that these two guys were useless, did not care too much, but said leisurely:
"In the spiritual world, although all the major sects have their own foundation, they are still mortals after all, and have many concerns."
"The zombie disaster that broke out in Teng Teng Town was too sudden. No one paid attention to it at first, and by the time they were discovered, it was already too late."
"The countless lives of an entire town created three zombie kings and nearly a thousand zombies. This is simply a horrific disaster!"
"It's fortunate that these zombies are still fighting among themselves, and some masters have set up formations to block them. Otherwise, even a famous sect would be in danger of being overthrown if they are not careful."
When he said this, he specifically gestured to Uncle Nine beside him, and then asked:
"Ask your master if this is the truth."
Being pointed out by Uncle Seven, looking at the looks of Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, Uncle Nine nodded helplessly:
"What Uncle Seven said is indeed reasonable. Even though Maoshan is a prestigious and upright sect, it will not casually attack a group of zombies led by a zombie king. The risk is too great!"
Although the famous and upright sects are indeed powerful, there are only so many backbone members in the entire sect. It is impossible for all of them to fight with zombies, right?
Again, it’s not that we don’t have the ability to solve it, but after weighing the pros and cons, we feel it’s not worth it.
After hearing Uncle Jiu's affirmation, Song Feng waved his hand and said with a smile:
"See, sometimes you don't have to believe everything others say. You can look at it from the opposite perspective."
"If you really listen to what others say, you will be tricked and killed if you are not careful when you leave the spiritual world..."
After hearing what Uncle Seven said, Qiu Sheng finally understood what he meant:
"Seventh Uncle, I understand what you mean. It's possible that what others said was indeed from their heart, but they subconsciously stood on the position of their own faction."
"What you taught me is to step out of other people's shoes, look at things from my own perspective, and understand things on my own..."
Seeing Qiu Sheng's brain flashing with inspiration, and he seemed to be really thinking about something, Uncle Jiu felt very relieved:
"Qiu Sheng has finally grown up!"
Although Seventh Uncle used himself as an example when teaching this, Ninth Uncle did not feel offended at all.
If using himself as an example can help his apprentice to understand, then he is willing to be the example.
But then, he couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness:
"This old man can teach his apprentice according to the existing conditions, which shows that he really taught his apprentice seriously before."
"Even after teaching with all his heart, this old man was stabbed in the back. Human hearts are really hard to predict..."
