“Are you mute? Say something!”

Zhou Ze slowly opened his eyes and turned his head. He looked at the tanned girl who was grabbing onto him. In his eyes, there was a hint of confusion. He was somewhat baffled by this scene. He did not put up any defenses. He wasn’t summoned. He suddenly woke up. He was even slapped on the chin. He asked himself if he was mute.

There were too many questions and too many sudden things. For a moment Zhou Ze and the tanned girl faced each other. Their faces were very close.

“Ha, monk, take a look. This guy can’t be having brain damage, right? Hahahaha… So this ghost messenger found a person with brain damage. Hahahahaha!”

The tanned girl was in a good mood. The person who stole her all-city plantation was caught. She also caught a zombie that she liked and wanted to bring back to work as a coolie. Although the group of people who had treated her to a meal had been wiped out, what she could hold in her hands was hers. She never cared about vague promises. If it was gone, so be it.

People who cultivated the land paid the most attention to being down-to-earth. This was the principle of life that her mother-in-law had told her. After understanding these principles, she had planted her mother-in-law.

“Amitabha. All living things are equal and paralyzed. It’s not this benefactor’s fault. He’s also a pitiful person. Especially after that, he was chosen by an errant ghost as the object of possession. Only he, the person involved, knows the hardships of this.”

The mangy-headed monk pressed his palms together. He chanted a Buddhist chant to Zhou Ze, who was being held by the tanned girl. He was truly merciful and pitied all sentient beings.

Brain damage? Hardships? Pity?

Who are they talking about… Oh, they’re talking about me…

They! Are! Talking! Me!!!

Zhou Ze moved. He reached out and grabbed the hand that was holding his neck. This hand was a little black and a little rough although it was a girl’s hand.

“Yo, you finally know how to fight back? Monk, seal that zombie first. We’re ready to leave. I think of my family’s flowers…”

Suddenly the tanned girl stopped talking because she realized that the hand that was originally grabbing Zhou Ze’s neck was slowly being removed by the other party. Even though she couldn’t feel how much strength the other party used, her right hand seemed to completely not listen to her commands.

“Amitabha, good.” The scabby-headed monk walked towards Yingying. He didn’t notice the situation behind him. That’s right, how could he notice the situation behind him? Who would know this was a special ghostly situation?

 Zhou Ze usually played with his alternate self, but after the tanned girl made his alternate self dormant, the one who woke up was his god-tier self.

Zhou Ze held the tanned girl’s hand. After he broke free, his feet fell to the ground. He turned his body sideways. Looking at the little tanned girl, Zhou Ze tilted his head slightly. The tanned girl’s eyes immediately widened. Although the person in front of her did not have any aura leaking out, she instinctively felt a terrifying sense of danger. The flowers and plants on both sides of the road seemed to be issuing the most severe warning to her at that moment!

“Gulp!” The swarthy girl did not scream, nor did she shout for the distant mangy-headed monk. This sense of danger made her realize that she did not have the time to do anything. Her throat trembled and her cheeks puffed up.

In an instant, the tanned girl opened her mouth and a ball of karmic fire shot out from her mouth! The terrifying karmic fire, swept out, at such a close distance. He grabbed her again. She couldn’t dodge!

The next scene made the tanned girl’s heart turn cold in an instant. Her opponent didn’t dodge. However, the fire of karma was instantly sucked up into his nostrils as if he had breathed it in. There was nothing left!

It’s… It’s… It’s… This can’t be happening!

Zhou Ze gently rubbed the tip of his nose with one hand. Then, he looked at the swarthy maiden in front of him calmly.

The mangy-headed monk sensed it when the karmic fire spewed out. However, he did not turn around. Instead, he continued to pull at the kasaya covering Yingying’s body. With his back to her, he called out with some curiosity, “Didn’t you say you were going to bring him back to the plant? Why are you roasting him now? Can’t wait any longer? Are you hungry?”

The tanned girl desperately wanted to call out, but she did not dare to. The gaze of the man in front of her was absolutely calm. It was as if she was facing a sea of death. Under his gaze, she was so tiny. So tiny that it was like a drop of water that was about to fall into the sea. It was impossible to find, and no one was willing to look for it.

“Speak… words… Ah…” Zhou Ze spoke. His voice was a little hoarse and low. The tanned girl didn’t know what he wanted to say. Her mind was completely blank. However, she didn’t know if something was wrong. In the face of Zhou Ze’s questioning, the corners of her mouth twitched. She gave an awkward smile.

“Can’t… speak… anymore?”

“…” the tanned girl.

“Ahhh!!!” Yingying’s miserable cries rang out, it turned out that the scabby-headed monk had tightened the kasaya that he wrapped around Yingying’s body. He had taken out a black nail and was about to pin it on her!

Yingying originally had the opportunity to break the seal on the kasaya, but after the tanned girl threatened her boss’s life she gave up on resisting. Now she was completely restrained and didn’t even have the chance to resist. As long as the scabby-headed monk nailed the nail down even a king-level zombie would be suppressed!

In the underground passages, the so-called tomb raiding sects seemed to have their own methods to deal with zombies. In reality, these tomb raiding sects had only learned superficial things, such as black donkey hooves. Since ancient times, in the Central Plains region, the Buddhist and Taoist sects were the most experienced in dealing with evil beings.

After the sound of Yingying’s cries, Zhou Ze seemed to have a sense of dissatisfaction in his brows. He was somewhat impatient. He hesitated, more like he was struggling. In the end, he let go of the tanned girl. He walked in the direction of the mangy-headed monk.

At first, the swarthy girl didn’t dare to believe it. He let her go just like that? How could he be so magnanimous? Based on the principle that a dead fellow Daoist wouldn’t die, when the swarthy girl saw that the scabby-headed monk was still sealing the female zombie, she decided to not even warn him. She decided to slip away. Without hesitation, she took out the plant seeds that she had eaten during her fight with Yingying. She was preparing to take the pills and escape.

However, Zhou Ze, who had turned his back, softly said, “Ka…” Then, he stopped and raised his head. He took a deep breath. The tanned girl took the pills and increased her speed. “Ka…” Zhou Ze gritted his teeth. Then, he took another deep breath. The tanned girl was about to run out of his sight! He exhaled heavily. Zhou Ze reluctantly waved his hand and quickly said, “Coffee.”

In an instant, five black chains shot out from the ground. In an unreasonable and overbearing manner, they locked the neck and limbs of the dark-skinned girl who was running.

“Plop!” The dark-skinned girl fell heavily to the ground. Her nose began to bleed. More terrifyingly, the chains dragged her back at high speed. Her skin dragged across the ground as she was dragged back to her original spot. The tanned girl was no longer dark. Instead, she had turned completely red. Her entire body was covered in blood. It was extremely miserable.

“Why… why…” The tanned girl didn’t understand. She didn’t understand why he wouldn’t let her go. Why did he let her run all the way out? Did he just want her to run away so he can drag her back to suffer more? She had wronged his people. Well, that was unintentional.

The mangy-headed monk, who was busy sealing and preparing the nails, finally realized that something was wrong behind him. He immediately turned around and looked behind him. He saw the tanned girl being miserably locked on the ground. He saw Zhou Ze walking toward him step by step.

“Amitabha, Amitabha!” The scabby-headed monk chanted Amitabha twice.

“Amitabha” had many meanings. For example, “Benefactor, you are so generous. I will accept the incense money.” or “Oh, I see.” or “I’m so embarrassed. I don’t know what to say.” In the current situation, it meant, “Oh my god! What on earth is going on?!”

“Amitabha. Benefactor, you’re awake?” The monk instinctively stood up and took a few steps back. Although he couldn’t sense any aura from Zhou Ze’s body, the tanned girl who was sprawled on the ground and his sixth sense told him that the person in front of him was very dangerous.

Zhou Ze didn’t pay attention to the monk’s greeting. Instead, he walked towards Yingying who was wrapped in the kasaya. He said, “I… Lost… someone…” After sleeping with him for so long she was still so useless. It was embarrassing.

“This girl gave up resisting to protect your life.” The monk said with an obsequious smile.

Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment. There was a hint of anger in his eyes. It meant that she wasn’t the embarrassing one. It was him.

He squatted down. He stretched out his hand and placed it on the kasaya. A dark red fingernail grew out.

“Benefactor, this is the kasaya passed down from my sect’s ancestors. It has been blessed and refined by the Buddhist sect’s ancestors and eminent monks. It’s fine to break it from the inside. However, if you want to break it from the outside, it will cause greater harm to those who are sealed!” The mangy-headed monk pressed his palms together to remind him.

Zhou Ze acted as if he didn’t hear him. His fingernails lightly swiped. The monastic robe, which was originally extremely sturdy and could seal a zombie, was torn apart with a ‘crash’. Yingying, who was lying inside, was dazed. She didn’t suffer the slightest bit of harm!

The corners of the mangy-headed monk’s mouth suddenly twitched stiffly. “Amitabha. Benefactor, it seems that you and this kasaya are fated. Fated with my Buddha. This penniless monk will leave now. If we are fated in the future, we will…” The mangy-headed monk was halfway through his sentence when he realized that Zhou Ze was looking at him with a smile on his lips.

It was very clear that his meaning was very simple. He was not prepared to let him go. The situation had changed too quickly. Even though the mangy-headed monk had quickly analyzed the situation and made corresponding changes in his attitudes, at this time he was clear that this matter could not be resolved!

‘Damn it. Didn’t that farm girl say that the zombie would be poisoned? How did it become like this? If this zombie had shown this temperament right from the start, I wouldn’t have attacked him!’ The next moment the scabby-headed monk suddenly slapped his chest. A golden talisman paper appeared and stuck to his forehead. In an instant, it was as if a golden Buddha was standing behind him! “Let Buddha possess you! Benefactor, leave a line for us to meet in the future. Don’t go too far! You should know that there are also Buddhists who glare at each other!”

Zhou Ze slowly stood up. At the same time, the aura that he had been suppressing suddenly burst out. It was unruly, domineering, and overbearing! The terrifying aura caused the golden Buddha shadow to shake. It showed signs of disintegrating!

The tanned girl who was chained to the ground opened her eyes wide. Her face was filled with disbelief. This terrifying aura. Just what did I release?

When Zhou Ze’s gaze landed on the scabby-headed monk, the monk’s face immediately stiffened. He realized that the Buddha’s shadow behind him was on the verge of collapsing! ‘This motherf*cker! Who was he, so terrifying?!’

For a moment the scabby-headed monk recalled the conversation he had with the tanned girl, “What’s there to be afraid of about an ordinary person… Wouldn’t it be a big joke to be afraid of an ordinary person… Mute… Brain damage… Amitabha, how poor he is. He is a man who has suffered a lot.”

‘Son of a b*tch! What the hell is going on?’ In the frightened eyes of the scabby-headed monk, a look of sudden understanding appeared on his face. ‘It’s that ghost cop who runs the city. The one in front of me should be the thing that lives in the body of that ghost cop. Oh my god. I and that little tanned girl drugged him. We opened the iron cage, and released the person in front of us!’ The scabby-headed monk was very smart but sometimes, in the face of absolute power, no matter how smart you were, it wouldn’t be of much use.

Zhou Ze took a step forward. The Buddha’s shadow behind the monk started to distort. The monk was shocked to find that it was the Buddha. The Buddha was afraid! Even the Buddha was afraid?!

“What… is this…”

“Yes, yes, yes… It’s the Buddha.” The monk replied with his teeth chattering.

“Oh…” Zhou Ze shook his head. He continued, “When I was born… There was no Buddha in the world…”
