Chapter 24: Friends from now on

He didn’t even let me thank him, but instead let me thank myself? Old Sun was stunned, and thought to himself, this wise man’s insights are extraordinary.

Before Sun could ask, Jiang Lichun said to himself, “This matter is not trivial. I don’t mean to blame you. This zombie is a man-made thing, not at all powerful. It’s just the lowest-grade stuff. If you can pick up a big rock and smash its head, you can kill it. A powerful guy, you throw a rock at it, it can also be smashed.

Lao Sun looked a little frightened. Artificial? Then… he asked with a hand gesture: “Young man, what exactly is going on here? Can you tell me in detail?”

Jiang Lichun looked at Lao Sun, patted his belly and said, “Give me something to eat. I just exercised my fists and feet, and I’m hungry. Don’t be so polite. It’s no fun being polite.”

Lao Sun was sweating profusely. This person in front of him… he didn’t have the demeanor of a master, not even the demeanor of an ordinary person, but his movements were natural, his expression was natural, and his tone was natural, but he wasn’t annoying.

Sun Kui laughed heartily and said, “That’s right, I’ll go get it for the master. I’m still hungry after working out.”

“I want meat, not dry bread. I know you have dried meat.” Jiang Lichun said loudly, and Sun Kui’s laughter was his response. As for Lao Sun, he wiped his sweat with some embarrassment. I want meat…

“Brother, you liar, you said you couldn’t beat the zombies, but you did, and you lied about the meat.” Suddenly, a somewhat immature voice interrupted, and Jiang Lichun looked back and saw it was his junior brother Wang Lipu.

Then he heard a series of footsteps. Who else could it be but the master and his disciples?

Jiang Lichun took the meat, laughed heartily, stood up, bowed to the master, sat down, and said to Wang Lipu, “This guy is a wimp. In my eyes, he’s not even a zombie. If you want to talk about zombies, the black and white twins are the entry-level goods. When my brother is more powerful, I’ll show you a drought demon.”

“Drought demon, huh, you’re blowing this cow up to heaven.” The one who snorted in anger was Old Li. He had a calm demeanor, and although he looked like an old farmer with a dusty appearance, he naturally had an attractive demeanor.

“Master, it’s not a big deal to brag. Can’t I say what’s in my heart?” Jiang Lichun’s face changed at once. He knew that his master was not a person with a sense of humor. He said one thing and meant one thing, and he said two things and meant two things.

“Go back to the inn tomorrow. You carry all the luggage.” Old Li sat down with a swagger and said nothing more, just one sentence to Jiang Lichun.

Jiang Lichun knew that this was the result of bragging, and he dared not argue. He shrugged helplessly, began to eat heartily, and asked Wang Lipu while eating, “Isn’t it to fight the old fox? Why did you come so quickly?”

“Master said that the formation has been set up, and we are just waiting for the old fox to walk into the trap. He said that the zombies are outside the Six Realms, messing with the natural order, and we can’t see a hint of cause and effect, so we can’t be very sure what this corpse transformation will become. Maybe if it’s not good, it will be a powerful character, so as soon as the formation was set up, we followed.” Wang Lipu said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lichun was moved. His master was a man who spoke in half sentences, never washed his clothes for days, and ate with a loud noise… Anyway, he had a lot of problems, but he was ultimately attached to him.

Seeing a group of “immortals” coming, Lao Sun was so excited that he couldn’t help but greet them one by one, but was stopped by Lao Li, who said, “Don’t do that. It’s better to be natural. We are all human, and natural interaction and natural help are the right way, the goodness of the heart. You can skip the etiquette.”

Old Li insisted on this, and Old Sun did not dare to force him. He only said respectfully, “Old Immortal…”

“Old Li!”

“Uh, old immortal, you are…” Lao Sun was taken aback.

“Old Li!”

Lao Sun smiled bitterly and said, “Master Lao Li, I just want to ask…”

“Old Li!”

Lao Sun was really impressed and could only say, “Lao Li, I just want to ask you how you knew that the corpse was going to change? Your apprentice said it was man-made, but what happened?”

“I can see that the corpse is surrounded by a corpse’s aura. I said it was man-made because… You think I can smell the aura of Yin blood, right? This corpse was forcibly injected with a bowl of blood after death. This blood is very particular. In short, the guys from Maoshan are the best at this. If a little bit of it gets out, it can harm people. Someone did it on purpose, just to make the corpse change. This zombie is not that powerful, not even an ordinary one, but it can always attack people unexpectedly, which is hard to prevent. Old Li’s speech has this characteristic, and he didn’t explain it at all.

I can see the corpse’s aura, I can smell the blood of the underworld. In short, this is the result, there is no reason.

My master and the others were used to this kind of thing and didn’t think much of it. As for Lao Sun, his face turned dark. He knew that someone had deliberately harmed him this time.

“The corpse was beaten to pieces by my apprentice, and I’m afraid it won’t move. Burn it and take it back! Your misfortune will always have consequences. It’s already a great kindness to be able to escape with your life this time. I’ll say no more.” Old Li said very simply.

Old Sun naturally understood the meaning of the words. One cannot be too greedy. To be able to survive without harm is already a blessing from one’s ancestors, and some punishment and consequences are nothing to worry about.

However, the cause and effect of this matter must always be reported, and the person who secretly did evil cannot be allowed to get away with it. He was really vicious and came straight for the life of the person.

At this time, Sun Kui handed a piece of dried meat to Jiang Lichun, smiling next to him. Jiang Lichun patted Sun Kui on the shoulder and said loudly, “I like you, let’s be friends in the future.”

Sun Kui, of course, was more than happy to say, “Of course, I have no problem making friends, but where can I find you?”

“I’m not a nomad either. Although I’m always on the road with my master, I do have a place to stay in Hunan, right here…” Jiang Lichun said very generously.

Old Li didn’t stop him either. It was fate that brought them together, and how could fate be interfered with by man?

After exchanging addresses, Jiang Lichun patted Sun Kui on the shoulder and said, “Actually, you guys are pretty amazing too. The way of the corpse-runner is something you guys have passed down. My master said that the really amazing corpse-runners, those who can reach the status of a Grand Master, can even control very powerful zombies for a short time. The Black and White Demons are just a trifle. However, my master also said that this corpse-runner lineage will decline in the future due to certain events. But I think that when I enter the world of demons and monsters, you must help me, okay?”

“Okay! I’m just afraid that I won’t be that good by then.” Sun Kui smiled humbly.

“No way! You just focus on your research. My master said that any craft that is done to perfection is powerful. There are so many industries, as long as you can do it to perfection, you can be called a master! Remember, help me in the future.” Jiang Lichun smiled.

The rising smoke gradually dissipated, and the old man’s memories came to an abrupt end here. Yes, he was the old Sun Kui from that year. He had grown old. Later, he really became friends with Jiang Lichun, and the two often had contact. Later, Jiang Lichun no longer talked about slaying demons and exorcising evil spirits, only saying that he did his best. Later, he really did his best in this line of work. Later, the corpse-carrying people really declined.

After finishing the pipe of tobacco, Sun thought of Jiang Lixun and couldn’t help but smile. This old man really let him help him out, but he was a difficult character to deal with. The cat corpse was a zombie? It was clearly possessed by evil, the most difficult kind of demon corpse to deal with!

Thinking of this, Sun’s face flashed with a trace of fear. It’s not easy to work for the country. The things they are called upon to do are extremely frightening, and I don’t want to think about it a second time! This time, Jiang the old man has come to me again, and I’m afraid it won’t be easy.

But they have been friends for decades, and even if it meant risking his life, he would refuse to help. Besides, the old man has saved his life many times, starting when he was sixteen!

Besides, his own life is not long. He has been a corpse-carrier for many years, and Grandpa Sun is well aware of his situation.

At this point, Sun’s grandson was calling him grandpa in the compartment. Hearing this, Sun laughed again. The succession is always continuous. My generation will eventually leave, and the next generation will inherit a lot of things.

I heard that Old Jiang has taken on a disciple. Will his disciple become friends with his grandson?
