Chapter 15 - Peach Tree

"Xi Zi is alive!" Sun Lu said in surprise.

"It's Corpse Transformation! He killed himself, took over the red coffin, and aroused the corpse energy! He's now a zombie!"

"Damn, are there really zombies? What do we do now? It's all this bro, he wouldn't do anything to us, right? " Sun Lu asked softly.

I clenched the coffin nail in my hand tightly and grinded my teeth. "If no one asks anything and forcibly uses talismans to reclaim the corpse, their entire family will not be able to live peacefully." That old fogey Zhang Ande was plotting against me. He told us to invite Zhang Xi's grandmother away, but he used his own yin energy to incite Zhang Xi's Corpse Transformation. "

I never thought that the question coming from the Little Peach Garden Village would be a ghost.

They could not understand why Zhang Ande and I, who had no enmity, would turn into a ghost to harm them after his death.

As Zhang Xi looked at us coldly, he turned his neck stiffly.

As his shoulders shook, the sound of nails scratching against wood came from the coffin.

My heart skipped a beat.

When Sun Lu and I returned to Zhang Xi's home, it was only the first year that we enrolled into the academy.

Zhang Xi's grandmother had prepared this coffin for his for many years. Now that it was let go, Fu Lu who had gathered the red coffin actually had the effect of suppressing the Corpse Transformation.

Therefore, although Zhang Xi had undergone a Corpse Transformation process, he was not able to move his body freely for a short period of time.

Thinking of this, I quickly grabbed a handful of shavings from the ground and threw them into the coffin.

When the wood shavings hit Zhang Xi's face, he immediately twitched, and released a pungent stench of corpses.

"I'm sorry brother."

Seeing that it worked, I said, and picked up the peach wood shavings from the ground and sprinkled them into the coffin.

Sun Lu also followed along.

I reminded him not to catch those black shavings, they were all smeared with killing intent when he killed Zhang Ande.

The wood shavings fell into the coffin one by one and the corpse that was sitting up finally fell to the ground with a "bang".

Sun Lu and I sprinkled a few more shavings on the coffin, and when we walked to the front, we saw Zhang Xi lying on his back with his face facing the sky, staring at him with his lifeless eyes.

The corpse had turned purple and black, and its face was swollen and reeking.

Sun Lu inhaled a breath of cold air, "By the looks of it, you must have been dead for at least five or six days."

My heart trembled, I forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcing myself not to think too much into it, I slowly extended my hand and closed Zhang Xi's eyes.

"Brother, have a safe trip."

"Xi Zi, have a safe trip." Sun Lu rubbed his eyes.

The next morning, the corpses were brought to the crematorium to be cremated.

Sun Lu said that Zhang Xi's uncle and aunt were rushing to their house and property, and so they asked me to come along with them to reason with them.

The couple had been scared to death last night, and Zhang Xi's aunt had even watched her nephew die and sit up from his coffin in regret.

He helped Zhang Luo find a grave and buried all five of Zhang Xi's family's ashes together.

After finishing all this, Sun Lu and I prepared to go back.

Before that, I decided to make a trip to Little Peach Garden Village. Firstly, to find some peach trees, and secondly, to find out what exactly is going on with Zhang Ande.

The two of them drove to the Little Peach Garden Village, where a family was busy preparing for the day.

It was Zhang Ande's house.

He walked to the outside of the mourning hall and looked inside. Unexpectedly, there was a black coffin at the door.

I was surprised.

According to the old rules, coffins were very particular.

The old people over 80 years of age died of joy and mourning, and the coffins used for burial should be red lacquered.

The young died young, or perhaps the unmarried woman died, and they had to use a white coffin.

Black coffins were for people who had died or committed suicide.

Zhang Ande was the one who asked the questions, his family definitely wouldn't make a mistake with the coffin.

I whispered to the man who had come to pay his respects. How and how long had he been dead?

The man was sneaky, he whispered that Zhang Ande had hanged himself from the roof, and on top of that, he had hanged himself from the roof of his house. When he died, there was nobody at home. When the people from Zhang family came back the night before yesterday, they found that his body had been completely eaten by the rats.

Wasn't that the night before yesterday when I came to pick him up?

The corpse that had just been hanged not long ago was bitten by a mouse … This was too abnormal.

The dead were in the hall, so I couldn't ask them anything.

Why did Zhang Ande want to commit suicide and why did he want to harm me? This also became the biggest doubt in my heart.

I came to him that night, and his ghost seemed to have known all along that I would come, and said he owed me.

What did he owe me?

After arriving at the peach orchard, I asked Sun Lu how he found out that Zhang Xi was dead.

Sun Lu said that no matter what, he couldn't contact Zhang Xi, and he couldn't find him either. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, he found the key to the peach orchard from Zhang Xi's house.

The two of them arrived under the peach tree that Zhang Xi was hanging from.

Sun Lu pointed at the tree branch and was about to say something, when he suddenly exclaimed, "Eh? Why is there a flower blooming on top of the tree?"

Following it, they saw a peach branch that was as thick as a person's wrist, actually blooming with a bright red peach blossom.

"No, September Peach?" I took two steps back in shock, almost losing my balance.

"What's wrong?" Sun Lu asked.

I grabbed his arm. "When you found Zhang Xi, what clothes did he wear?"

Sun Lu scratched his head, "He's wearing a red basketball team uniform, doesn't he like to play basketball?"

"Holy sh * t!"

My scalp tingled.

Zhang Xi actually wore red clothes and hanged himself. No wonder he had the ability to go to my house.

He wants me to help him find Li Rui, if I cannot, then wouldn't he …

I found a knife, climbed up the tree, and cut down the flowering branch.

He hacked the branch into a nine inch long peach wood sword with his machete.

Sun Lu asked me: "Are you really prepared to become a Taoist and help people capture ghosts to drive away evil spirits?"

I smiled bitterly, "I'm no longer interested in capturing ghosts to repel evil spirits. This wooden sword is used for self-defense."

In September, the peach blossoms bloomed, and only one was bloomed because a person was hanging from a peach branch, gathering the resentful aura of the dead.

According to the tattered book, the blossoming peach branches had turned from a Yang Peach to a Yin Peach.

In the eyes of the true Taoists, not only was the Yin peach wood unable to ward off evil, it could also attract disasters. However, there was a way to turn the Yin peach wood into a weapon that could kill ghosts and exterminate evils!

Putting away the wooden sword, the two of them once again paid their respects under the peach tree.

After exiting the peach orchard, he prepared to drive back.

After driving for a short distance, I suddenly felt a stifling sensation in my chest. My hands went numb as I slid the steering wheel away.

Luckily, he managed to stop the car in time and avoided hitting the tree.

"Are you okay?" Sun Lu asked.

I shook my head and held my heart for a moment.

I suddenly had a very strange feeling. My gaze followed this feeling and looked towards the outside.

That was the back of the village, the little shop of the Old Ding.

The store was no longer open and a black Audi SUV was parked outside.

Just as I was about to start the car again, the Audi door opened and a Young Women came out from the back door with her hands over her chest.

"Holy sh * t, there's actually such a beauty in this place!" Sun Lu opened his eyes wide and took a deep breath.

The woman glanced in their direction, and after a moment of surprise, she walked over.

I rolled down the window and asked her, "What are you doing here?"

Sun Lu's eyes lit up, "You two know each other?"

"Her name is Sang Lan, she's my previous customer."

Sun Lu rubbed his nose, looking at me in a wretched manner.

Just then, Ji Yayun got off the car and walked over.

When I saw her, I immediately frowned. After not seeing her for a few days, the haze on her face had unexpectedly deepened. Her entire face had turned dark and gloomy, devoid of any luster.

Ji Yayun was as careful as before, and said: "These two days, Lan Lan was especially strange, so I brought her here to find peach trees."

As he said that, he looked in front of me and was slightly surprised. "It seemed like you almost crashed into the car just now. Are you alright?"

I looked at Sang Lan and saw that she was still holding onto her chest.

Just now, I seemed to have sensed that she was nearby, so I looked towards the store.

"Ya Yun, it's going to rain soon. If you want to find wood, then hurry up."

I turned my head, and saw that the one who shouted was Lin Hansheng.

The other person who was looking over was the disciple of Wandering Dragon Man, Yun Qing.

I couldn't help but frown and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by my ear. Following that, I heard a voice urgently say, "Quickly bring these two women away, otherwise, you will both die here!"

I jolted and straightened up.

"Hurry up, the Old Ding wants to harm you! "If you don't leave now, it will be too late!" the voice said urgently in my ear again, almost in a shout.

This time, I can hear clearly, it's actually Zhang Ande's voice!

For some reason, I felt an unprecedented sense of nervousness and panic in my heart. I hurriedly shouted outside, "Both of you, quickly get on the car! Quickly leave this place!"

Sang Lan and Ji Yayun were both startled.

"Get in the car!" I shouted and started the car.

Seeing the two of them in a daze, he gritted his teeth and said, "You two are on your own!"

Just as he finished speaking, Sang Lan suddenly opened the back door and dragged Ji Yayun in.

Ji Yayun still wanted to say something to Lin Hansheng, but I had already put the car in gear and sped it up.

"Close all windows!" Zhang Ande anxiously said in my ear.

"Roll up the window!" I yelled behind me as I raised the front window.

Sang Lan reacted and quickly rolled up the window.

The next second after the window was rolled up, there was a muffled bang on the roof, as if something huge had crashed into the roof.
