Chapter 680: Failure
The next day, Taoist Master Jiang began to set up an altar and perform rituals to drive away the zombies.
Taoist Master Jiang placed a huge incense burner in the center of the intersection.
There were several extremely thick and long incense sticks lit in the incense burner, emitting white smoke.
Various fruits and offerings are placed on the table in front of the incense burner.
At the other end of the road, there was a huge straw mat with a futon on it.
A Taoist priest with gray hair was sitting cross-legged on it.
He was wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe and had a long white beard, giving people a kind feeling.
When he saw Chen Yile and the other person, he smiled and greeted them in a relaxed tone.
"You are residents of Shuipaozi Town, right? Did you come here to see how I exorcise ghosts and capture zombies?"
Chen Yile didn't want to reveal his identity, so he responded with a smile and didn't say much.
Taoist Master Jiang didn't care about this. He waved his hand and asked Chen Yile and the other man to stand on the grass at the other end of the road.
"Don't get too close, it's dangerous."
Chen Yile and Lin Qingyao walked to the grass, wanting to see what he would do.
At this time, an old man came forward and grabbed Master Jiang's sleeve.
"Master Jiang, when can you catch that zombie?"
Taoist Master Jiang smiled slightly, signaling him to be patient and that he would perform the ritual right away.
By 9 o'clock in the morning, Taoist Master Jiang was almost ready, and more and more people gathered around the incense burner, gathering in three layers inside and outside.
After Taoist Master Jiang greeted the residents, he officially began the ritual.
He took out a small glass bottle filled with a dark red liquid, but he didn't know what it was.
Taoist Master Jiang gently pulled out the cork and poured half of the liquid into the palm of his hand.
Then, he sprinkled the liquid in his hand around and whispered, "Heaven and earth are my witnesses, the evil spirits will flee."
Chen Yile observed what Taoist Jiang sprinkled, which looked like cinnabar and chicken blood.
At this time, Taoist Master Jiang took out a yellow talisman from his arms and stuck it on the top of the incense burner.
He was muttering to himself in a deep and powerful voice, as if there was a mysterious power contained in it, which made people feel awe.
With the blessing of his chanting, the talisman paper actually burned by itself.
Then he took out a white porcelain bowl filled with rice.
"Heaven and earth, bless you, evil spirits, retreat!"
He scattered the rice in a circle around the incense burner.
But suddenly, a strange scene happened.
It was a sunny day, but suddenly a strong wind blew up, blowing sand and dust everywhere, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
The rice that had just been scattered on the ground was constantly blown away by the wind and became less and less.
The few incense sticks lit in the incense burner were also blown out by the strong wind.
Chen Yile always felt that something seemed to be approaching in the wind and sand.
The thing was getting closer and closer, and the air was filled with a strong fishy smell.
But the wind and sand were so strong that I couldn't even open my eyes, so I could only force myself to wait where I was.
When the wind and sand gradually dissipated, a horrifying scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
Taoist Master Jiang turned into a headless corpse!
When the onlookers saw this scene, they were horrified and immediately dispersed.
"Ahhh, help! Master Jiang is dead!"
They screamed, stretched out their legs and ran away as fast as they could.
Indeed, Taoist Master Jiang originally came to help them eliminate zombies and provide them with peace.
Who would have thought that Master Jiang was dead before he even saw the zombies.
Could it be that this zombie is so powerful?
Chen Yile and Lin Qingyao watched the whole process calmly on the grass nearby.
Both of them could feel that something passed through here when the wind and sand were the strongest.
It must be that thing that took Master Jiang's life.
Moreover, that thing is quite powerful.
Taoist Master Jiang lost his life without even changing his posture.
Lin Qingyao thought for a moment and said, "When that thing passed by just now, I smelled a strong smell of blood."
The smell of blood again!
Chen Yile suddenly remembered that when they first arrived in the town, they seemed to have smelled a strange smell.
It was not certain at that time, but now it seems that it should be the smell of blood that Lin Qingyao mentioned.
I think the appearance of this zombie is closely related to the smell of blood.
In that case, using this smell of blood as a clue, we should be able to find where the zombies are hiding.
Chen Yile took out a piece of talisman paper and rubbed it gently, and the talisman paper burned to ashes.
He leaned over and smelled the special smell of the burning talisman paper.
This talisman paper can enhance people's sense of smell. Chen Yile plans to find it by smelling the blood.
It hadn't been long since that thing left, and there was still a lot of smell in the air.
Chen Yile smelled the faint smell of blood lingering in the air and headed towards that path.
After walking for a distance, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.
Finally, Chen Yile actually followed the breath and walked into an abandoned factory.
He walked to a corner and found a large pool of completely coagulated blood.
Chen Yile squatted down and took a closer look, confirming that it was human blood.
Moreover, he also found several footprints from here.
Judging from the shape, it is much larger than a normal footprint and is particularly blurry, as if it had been erased by someone.
"Qingyao, look!"
Chen Yile pointed to one of the footprints.
Lin Qingyao took a look and noticed something was wrong.
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded behind them.
"Oh, you two are really smart. You found this place so quickly."
Chen Yile and the other man quickly turned around and saw that a woman was standing behind them.
Seeing that she came with ill intentions, Lin Qingyao immediately took a stance to meet the enemy.
When the woman saw that Lin Qingyao was about to hit her, she didn't do anything. Instead, she was laughing so hard not far away.
"Oh, what's the matter? What are you afraid of?"
"who are you?"
Chen Yile stared at her and asked.
"Oh, you've been chasing me for so long and you still don't know who I am?"
When these words came out, Chen Yile and Lin Qingyao were stunned.
Chen Yile quickly said, "What do you mean? I don't even know you, how can I say I've been chasing you for so long?"
Chen Yile was afraid that if he explained too slowly, he would be killed by Lin Qingyao who was standing beside him.
Although Lin Qingyao didn't say anything, her eyes revealed murderous intent, but no one knew who this murderous intent was directed at.
"Oh, you guys misunderstood me."
The woman's smile widened, as if she was mocking the two people in front of her for being too stupid.
"Oh, forget it, see how stupid you are, I won't keep you in suspense anymore."
"I am the reincarnation disk you have been looking for!"
"what?"
Chen Yile was shocked by the answer.
Is this woman in front of him the reincarnation disk, one of the five sacred artifacts he has been looking for?
