Chapter Nine, I became Wu Tianzhen's golden finger

With the ghost seal in my hand and one hundred thousand ghostly soldiers, wherever I go, the enemies scatter at the sound of my approach. Even formidable armies like the Wei Wu Army and the Qin Iron Army, renowned military forces of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, are no match for me. I once fantasized about becoming the fifth great general of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, just like the renowned General Bai Qi of Wu'an.

Xu Mingdao said, "I do not understand"

Listening to Wang Kaixuan's words, Wu Laosan did not respond; he merely puffed on his dry tobacco, as if the tobacco pipe had a grudge against him

Love is something where time is crucial; being too early or too late is not ideal

Now, being so useless, still chattering away, this gave Xu Ming the idea of eliminating King Lu Shang

Xu Ming's consciousness manifested in Wu Tianzhen, creating a very strange sensation, as if he were a camera positioned within Wu Tianzhen's eyes. Everything Wu Tianzhen saw, thought, ate, and even felt, he could intimately experience himself

The human heart is separated by the coffin board; who knows what ideas you have in your mind!

As Xu Ming was about to leave, Lu Shang Wang said, "King Yan and others, could you please move the coffin stone on my left so that I can catch my breath..."

If I eliminate King Lu Shang, will I achieve a leap in strength, upgrading from a Purple Zombie to a White Zombie

This is a very peculiar sensation; although it is not oneself, there is a strange feeling of being able to experience as if one's true self is reaching out, as if someone else is manipulating one's own body.

A car accident occurred, it is a disaster

King Lu Shang said, "You do not understand, we are not opponents of the Iron-faced Man, but there is a strict hierarchy among the undead. The classifications are as follows: Purple Zombie, White Zombie, Green Zombie, Hairy Zombie, Flying Zombie, Wandering Corpse, Lying Corpse, and Bone that does not decompose. You are the lowest level, a Purple Zombie, while I am merely a White Zombie, and the Iron-faced Man is a Hairy Zombie. Do you understand what a Hairy Zombie is? With a copper skin and iron bones, unafraid of water and fire, and extremely fast, it is truly capable of defeating both of us!"

At this point, King Lu Shang affectionately asked Xu Ming, "Do you understand love?"

"Because of Jiu Mei." Lu Shang Wang said, "Jiu Mei pleaded with Tie Mian Sheng to spare her life, expressing her willingness to continue accompanying him. Jiu Mei possesses a rare fate known as the Moonlight Fate, which can stabilize the feng shui of tombs. My existence is entirely due to Jiu Mei. Unfortunately, all I sought in my life has led to such an outcome, how tragic and lamentable it is—"

In my impression, love is the tearful staggering of a madman, accompanied by sudden bursts of ecstatic weeping

Xu Ming thought for a moment; he had never had a partner in his entire life and understood nothing about love

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming in the coffin exclaimed, "What the hell, DJ, have I become Wu Tianzhen's golden finger?"

Please remain quiet, host. The order among zombies is strict, and challenging beyond one's level is a suicidal act. Even ten zombies like you would not be able to defeat a single white zombie

Uncle San, seeing his strange appearance, asked curiously, "Pingzi, have you noticed any clues?"

Cough cough

He gazed at the tattoo, his eyes sparkling as if he had discovered something

Before I met her, I had never thought that love existed

Xu Ming and *Tu* Shudao said, "Then why don't you go and kill Iron Face Sheng? From my observation of your condition, it is clear that you can climb out of the coffin by yourself now. If you can't climb out, I can help you! Let's join forces to take down Iron Face Sheng and help you reclaim your old love"

Xu Ming swiftly darted away, and upon returning, the tomb door closed tightly, restoring silence to the underground palace

"Is the Iron-faced alive?" said King Lu Shang, "He is my capable subordinate, yet also the one who has brought me to this state. He has taken away my dream of immortality, seized my golden silk jade robe, and dragged me to the entrance of this tomb to watch over his coffin. This is an extraordinary humiliation!"

Wu Laosan raised his eyes and saw a young man in a hooded tactical jacket and sleek black trousers walking outside. His skin was very pale, the kind that appeared almost ghostly, and his cheeks were sharply defined, revealing only half of his face.

That year, I was fifty-six years old

Old Wu said, "You can see for yourself."

Listening to Wang Kaixuan's words, Xu Ming felt a surge of relief, thinking to himself that it was fortunate he ran fast; otherwise, he would have been crushed on the spot by more than twenty excavators.

Certainly! The answer is affirmative! As long as you can personally eliminate a purple zombie, the bloodline of the Lord will be able to absorb the corpse energy within it, and at that time, you will be able to become a white zombie

Wang Kaixuan, upon hearing this, asked, "Is it true or false?"

The year I died, I sent someone to bring her over. She was twenty years old, in her prime, and exceptionally beautiful. For the sake of love, she chose to accompany me in death. Our graves are placed side by side, and we will forever guard each other, forgetting the chaos of war and the turmoil of books, returning to tranquility and beauty

Xu Mingdao said, "This, my strength is too small, so let's forget it for now, we can talk later."

He is a new assistant recently hired by Wu Laosan, claiming to be from Changbai Mountain, with the surname Zhang. No further details were provided about him. This person is not fond of speaking, but he works efficiently and is well-liked by San Shu.

Moreover, I feel that at my age, it is unlikely to encounter love, after all, with age comes the experience of life and death, and the heart grows weary. However, I met her, and I discovered that the love depicted in the literary verses I once looked down upon truly exists

Xu Ming couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, wow, this is really something!

When you understand everything, yet remain submissive, this is love

At this moment, the system displayed a prompt

A voice came from outside the door, "Third Uncle, may I see the tattoo of Young Master San?"

Wang Kaixuan said, "So, where is the good news?"

Xu Ming thought to himself, what nonsense. The moment they met, King Lu Shang had effortlessly eliminated his subordinates, and he already knew he could not defeat King Lu Shang. However, Xu Ming was not in a hurry; after all, Wu Laosan and the others would soon arrive to excavate the tomb. At that time, he could set up a trap using the iron-faced King Lu Shang to torment Wu Laosan and his band of tomb raiders. When two tigers fight, the fisherman benefits. I can gain points and advance my cultivation, so why not!

The system has displayed a prompt again

Xu Ming listened to the words of King Lu Shang and had come to see through him.

Then the young man walked in, took off Wu Tianzhen's shirt, revealing the full back tattoo of the divine wolf.

The words of King Lu Shang are quite fragmented, with many repetitions in between. After some refinement by Xu Ming, his story is roughly as follows

Bumping into someone is an emotion

Men Youping said, "There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one does Uncle San want to hear?"

From the age of eight to eighteen, it is ten years

Later, I met her. That year, she was sixteen years old. Others called her Chu Yuxuan, as she was the ninth child in her family, and some also referred to her as the Ninth Sister

Men Youping said, "The bad news is that this cursed tattoo is likely impossible to remove, and its aftereffects are currently unknown"

Men Youping said, "Indeed, I once personally witnessed a tattooed individual with a strange beast, impervious to all poisons"

Uncle Three said, "First, let me tell you the bad news"

Hearing King Lu's words, Xu Ming couldn't help but have his eyes opened, realizing that there were so many intricacies within the realm of zombies

To put it bluntly, you are nothing but a sycophant, or rather, a corpse licker, a zombie licker. Even when they are dead, you still want to lick them. If you could channel that enthusiasm into something else, you would have long since disassembled the Iron Face and married your Ninth Sister in the mortal realm!

The door swung open quickly, and Wang Kaixuan rushed out, panting heavily. He said, "Third Uncle, I brought over twenty excavators to the quicksand pile and dug down several dozen meters deep. All the secondary coffins have been unearthed, but the main coffin is still missing. There is a large pit below that leads directly to the groundwater. I estimate that the main coffin of the noble from the Yan state has drifted away with the groundwater, and it cannot be found now."

This

Xu Ming had a perfect plan in mind, but he also understood that nurturing feelings takes time. Xu Ming said, "It's about time; I'm going back to sleep now, Brother Lu. Let's continue our conversation at the party later!"

Wu Tianzhen began to cough, while Uncle San, sitting nearby, wore a worried expression and kept smoking

When you are young and naive, you want to try everything

Xu Ming, upon hearing this, asked with some confusion, "What is the relationship with the Iron-faced Man?"

King Lu Shang expressed with some emotion, "You are very fortunate; you have not experienced love, and you are a pure person"

If you had to choose, would you prefer to collide with a vehicle or with a person

From the age of eighteen to twenty-eight, it is a lifetime

What is the difference between a car coming over and a person coming over

This King Lu Shang, to put it nicely, is a romantic and a lovesick person

Xu Ming further said, "According to your reasoning, why didn't Iron Face kill you at that time, but instead spared your life?"

Xu Ming thought to himself, if I pull open a corner of this stone coffin, what if you run out and eat me?

Xu Ming lay in his own coffin, having just closed his eyes, when in the next moment, his consciousness appeared on Wu Tianzhen, who was a thousand miles away, under the tattoo curse.

The tip of the finger of the sealed oil bottle gently traced over the divine hound tattoo on Wu Tianzhen's back. "The hound is an ancient divine beast, and in terms of its fearsome reputation, it is even more formidable than the Qilin, the tomb tiger, the Azure Dragon, and the Vermilion Bird. Those who bear such a tattoo are likely to be granted certain special powers, perhaps immunity to water and fire, or fearlessness against all poisons, or even immense strength and the ability to foresee auspicious omens.
