Chapter 307 - Poverty and Sickness!

The old priest patted the mud on his Taoist robe and realized that there were too many of them, so he couldn’t be bothered to clean them up. He squatted next to Zhang Yanfeng, took out a cigarette, and handed one to Zhang Yanfeng.

Zhang Yanfeng took the cigarette and slowly squatted down as well.

Zhang Yanfeng was not young either, and the old priest was even older,

the two of them were like old farmers squatting by the edge of a field, watching a village drum show.

“Phew…”

Zhang Yanfeng still found it hard to accept.

“Don’t panic. The most frightening thing about our worldview is that it is distorted,

if it is broken, we are not afraid. It is actually easier to rebuild it.”

The old priest reached out and patted officer Zhang’s shoulder, then continued to mutter,

“This landlord is really pitiful. Why did he pretend to be so pretentious? Now he can only live a few episodes.”

He was still the best. He was able to keep living even though he was testing Zhou Ze repeatedly.

He had been working with Zhou Ze for more than a year. In fact, this old man felt that boss Zhou was actually a very easygoing person. He did not have any enemies that he could see directly. This was enough to show how popular he was.

Because everyone who had a grudge against him was basically dead, so there were no enemies.

In the old Daoist’s view, boss Zhou was like Xuan Ye in Kangxi’s secret interview. He liked to pretend to be a beggar and go around cheating, and then there would always be unlucky people who wanted to step on him.

Then, he wore a yellow robe and revealed his real identity, stepping on the person who stepped on him and crushing him.

He was used to it,

he was numb,

he had experience.

The old Daoist blew out a smoke ring and spat on the ground.

“Winning hook, drought demon, general, Minister, Minister, which one was the boss in his previous life?”

The old priest counted with his fingers. He was ignorant and knew a lot of wild words, but he knew very little about the things recorded in some ancient books. Therefore, he could not tell which one was recorded in the ancient books and which one was invented by the Internet.

But it should be among these four, right?

Anyway, it was very awesome.

“This is a zombie, right?”Zhang Yanfeng asked.

“Yes, a zombie.”

“So, he is a Zombie?”

“Yes, a zombie.”

“Does that mean that he is not a human, but a Zombie?”

The old priest sighed and looked at Zhang Yanfeng pitifully. “Brother, listen to your brother’s advice. Take some time off tomorrow.”

Zhang Yanfeng nodded

It was indeed time to rest.

The two undeads continued to dig. They did not know fatigue and moved very fast. They had already dug through the roof beam,

then..,

a series of cracking sounds could be heard. The ground began to sink. The two undeads also fell down. Wooden thorns appeared below and nailed them to the ceiling.

Their heads, hands, and feet were all pierced. It was very miserable.

However, they did not die. Instead, they continued to struggle. Although they could not break free, the pain they endured was still real.

A half-collapsed sculpture of a small earth Lord Temple appeared below. The remaining half of the body had almost lost its paint. It was enough to show how miserable this Earth Lord was.

However..,

it was impossible for him to surrender just like that because Zhou Ze did not have any request for negotiation. His purpose was very simple. He had said it before:

“Earth master… Delicious…”

This directly blocked the earth master’s other options besides risking his life.

The temple body was here. Although it was dilapidated, the golden nest and silver nest were not as good as his own grass nest. Moreover, once the temple body was completely destroyed.., then the hundred years of bitter cultivation and the little merit that he had accumulated, which was not much but was still not easy to accumulate, would be completely gone.

At the same time..,

he would become a lonely ghost, a wild monster, and once again enter the ranks of the unrated. If he was unlucky and met a second-rate heavenly master of Mount Longhu who came down from the mountain.., he might even shout “Justice for the heavens”and stab himself with the peach wood sword.

This temple, the right to this land, had been fought over by him from hundreds of wild monsters. Now, how could he give up just like that?

“The mountain is not high, the immortal is famous;

The water is not deep, the dragon is Spiritual!”

Below..,

a chant was heard,

and then,

the surrounding trees and vines began to grow wildly. The vines were like ropes, wrapping around Zhou Ze’s limbs and bones at lightning speed.

Zhou Ze’s entire body was tied up, his feet suspended in the air.

There were also some small vines with spikes on them that wanted to pierce through Zhou Ze’s skin and enter Zhou Ze’s body. However, they were completely shut out by Zhou Ze’s shriveled and glowing green skin.

He did not move, nor did he struggle,

however, the disdain in his eyes..,

seemed like he was enjoying a person’s final performance before his death.

Then..,

the green vines around him began to wither rapidly, forming a grayish color. The vines that were wrapped around Zhou Ze also turned into grass and trees that scattered down to the ground.

In the legends..,

once the drought demon appeared, the land would be a thousand miles red!

Zombies,

they had their own murderous aura and curses. Standing on the opposite side of all life, only the meaning of feng shui, “Poor Mountains and rivers”, could give birth to zombies. They were the extreme existences born from those extreme regions.

Zhou Ze fell back to the ground,

he bent down,

he lowered his head,

he looked down.

“Gedeng… Gedeng…”

The broken statue began to shake, as if something was ready to attack.

“I…”

“Earth Lord…”

“Even if all the merits are gone…”

“If the temple collapses…”

“I will never bow down to you!”

“Bang!”

The broken statue jumped out from the ground, like the “Second kick”that was used in rural funerals.

However..,

zhou ze just stretched out his hand and pressed down,

his five long fingernails drew a beautiful arc,

the sculpture, which had been charging forward menacingly just a moment ago, suddenly cracked and disintegrated. Dust filled the cavern below.

The ultimate move that he had relied on the most was dissolved just like that, and not even a single hair of the other party was harmed.

“I want… you… merit… and the body of the temple… What’s the use?”

A smile appeared on Zhou Ze’s lips,

yes,

everything else..,

he didn’t care,

he only cared about the land Lord’s spirit,

let’s call it “Spirit”.

What he needed was nourishment. What he needed was the nourishment of his incomplete state. He didn’t care about anything else, nor would he care about it.

Taking a step forward, Zhou Ze landed. With one hand on the ground, he landed steadily. The space around him was somewhat cramped and narrow. This really didn’t look like the land Lord’s Temple, but more like a thief’s cave where treasures were hidden.

Moreover..,

the ground around him was also covered with gold and silver objects.

He finally understood why this local lord was in such a miserable state. As a local lord, he was still obsessed with the gold and silver objects of the secular world. It would be a miracle if such a land could be cultivated to great merit.

A ball of green light floated in front of Zhou Ze,

it was obvious that he was panicking.

He had no more tricks left. To be exact, he only had these abilities, and these abilities were completely useless against this demon.

In the end..,

a final plea came from the green light:

“I’ll give you all the wealth here. Let Me Live!”

“Hehe.”

The smile on Zhou Ze’s face grew wider,

he reached out and picked up a handful of silver coins, ready to throw them away

Is he short of money?

Using money to bribe me?

Ridiculous.

However..,

just as he was about to throw the silver coins in his hand..,

suddenly..,

his hand could not let go,

he held onto the silver coins tightly.

This..

The green halo that was almost in despair was overjoyed to see this,

hahahahaha..,

it seemed like there was hope!

Zhou ze used his left hand to grab his right hand, forcing his right hand to open and throw away the silver coins. However, his right hand continued to hold the silver coins tightly without letting go.

The smile on the corner of Zhou Ze’s mouth disappeared,

what replaced it was..,

shame, anger,

anger,

dissatisfaction,

as well as..,

anger!

“Are you very… short of Money?”

Zhou ze asked.

His right hand was still holding the silver coin tightly.

“Money… What’s so good about it?”

His right hand continued to hold the silver coin tightly, unmoved.

“Money… What’s the use of it?”

His right hand said, “I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear the monk recite the Scriptures!”

“Don’t… give it to me… this… is embarrassing…”

His right hand gripped even tighter.

Zhou Ze’s breathing started to become rapid,

he recalled how he had felt in the villa’s mirror a while ago,

at this moment..,

he really had an impulse..,

to smash his own head with a punch,

he was ashamed to live in this world!

“Not only here, I have other things. As long as you let me go, I will tell you about the other two places where the gold and silver are hidden.

As the saying goes..,

three years in the Qing dynasty, 100,000 snow silver

As the saying goes, a thousand miles for an official is only for wealth. Although I am only a small piece of land, I have quite a bit of savings. I will give you all this money and goods. It is not considered a pearl in the dark.”

When he heard that there were two other places where gold and silver were hidden..,

zhou Ze’s right hand..,

trembled even more violently.

“Roar!”

Zhou Ze let out a low roar,

and then..,

he smashed his right fist directly into the ground. For a moment, the rock wall cracked. But when he pulled his hand back, he found that even though the silver coins had been deformed under the heavy pressure and turned into silver cakes, his right hand was still firmly holding onto it, not letting go!

The Lord of the land was ready to strike while the iron was hot. He continued:

“Not only my gold and silver treasures, even my identity as the Lord of the land can be given to you.

A piece of land is equivalent to a parent!

How valuable is the land now,

how expensive is it to sell,

that’s why the house price is so high!”

Zhou ze snorted disdainfully,

want me to be a piece of land?

“Back then,

i wasn’t even willing when the Yellow Emperor asked me to guard the Netherworld Netherworld Sea,

this small piece of land,

how could i…”
