Chapter 2 Dealing with Customers
The main business of the four-eyed priest is to drive away corpses.
The world that Zhang Ziyu came to was different from his previous life at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. Because of the existence of practitioners, it was more chaotic and complicated.
Warlords are rampant, bandits are everywhere, and everything is more chaotic than the same.
Many places are poor, and if they want to survive, they can only go out to make a living.
Making a living in troubled times, accidents are not uncommon.
As for the Xia people, they pay attention to returning a fallen leaf to its root, even if it is dead, the soul must return to its hometown.
So, that's how the business of expelling corpses came about.
Zhang Ziyu said before that there is no money to drive the corpse, but it is not entirely true. After all, the money collected for driving the corpse ranges from a dozen oceans to hundreds of oceans.
These days, the annual income of an ordinary manual laborer is about ten oceans. For the poor, it is good to be alive.
So, exorcising corpses is very expensive, and Taoist Priest Four Eyes is very rich, at least that's how the small treasury came about.
There are generally two types of entrustment for the business of exorcising corpses.
One is entrusted by family members. When they know that their relatives have died in a foreign country, they entrust Taoist Priest Simu to drive the body back to that place.
The other is that a fellow villager dies as a guest in a foreign country, and the fellow villagers who came together raise money and entrust Taoist Simu to take him home.
The former one is not bad, after all, there are basically no accidents, and 80% of them can be delivered.
In the latter case, sometimes the family has already moved away, or the whole village may have been killed by bandits.
There was no one to restrain the corpse, so he had no choice but to bring it back to his ashram, and then take it to his rescue and cremation.
Brother Zhang Ziyu and Qian Jiale went to the room where the walking dead were kept together.
Pushing the door and entering, you will see small compartments separated by straw mats on both sides of the room. They are more than one meter wide and two meters high. In each small compartment, there is a walking corpse, and a small bench is placed under it. Candle.
"Hey, there are so many brothers who haven't been sent out. I guess the whole family is gone."
Qian Jiale shook his head and sighed, there are more and more walking corpses that cannot be sent back year after year.
Zhang Ziyu said: "The world is chaotic, maybe the family will be neat and tidy when we get down there."
Qian Jiale's face froze, he looked so neat, aren't you afraid that these guys wake up and kill you.
"Junior brother, you control the one on the left, and I control the one on the right."
"no problem"
Zhang Ziyu had just picked up the bell and pinched the spell with his hands, when a pleasant voice suddenly came to his mind.
"The Heavens Monster Ranch has been successfully activated!"
Zhang Ziyu was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. After waiting for so many years, Goldfinger finally finished reading the article.
"Senior brother, I have a stomachache and I have to go to the latrine, so I will entrust you here."
"No, Junior Brother, you want to fish again..."
Qian Jiale looked dazed, Zhang Ziyu disappeared before he finished speaking.
Zhang Ziyu slipped out, hid in the hut, and after meditating on the monster farm in his mind, he disappeared.
Zhang Ziyu's eyes flashed, and he appeared in the so-called monster ranch.
The cyan pasture came into view, and at a glance, it was all turquoise pastures, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.
On the left side of the pasture, rows of hard black wood formed a fence, and there were two simple rooms beside the fence, both of which were of wooden structure.
"The area of this pasture is not small."
Zhang Ziyu looked around, and then put his mind on the monster ranch, receiving information from the monster ranch.
The ranch is divided into three areas, the free land, the mimic fence, and two special rooms, one is the trading room of the heavens, and the other is the processing workshop.
The free land is the grassland in front of Zhang Ziyu, with an area of about 10 hectares, which is about 150 mu of land when converted into acres.
The aura of freedom is not low, and the quality of things planted on it will be slightly improved because of this aura, and the growth rate will be faster.
Zhang Ziyu is the master of the free land, he can change the terrain of the free land with his own will, from mountains and rivers to valleys, all in one thought, which is extremely convenient.
The role of freedom is not small, but it is still an incidental function of this ranch, and the core function is still the mimic fence.
The mimic fence is a place where monsters are held and raised. As long as they are held in, there is no possibility of voluntary escape. They will be honestly raised to generate something that can be used.
As the name suggests, the processing workshop and Zhutian trading room are workshops for processing various things, including equipment and elixir. One is a room for trading things with guests from the heavens and the world.
Of course, the two rooms are empty now, and the Zhutian trading room has not started to randomly summon guests.
Zhang Ziyu, a novice monster rancher, still needs to raise a monster first.
After Zhang Ziyu accepted all the information, his eyes lit up immediately, almost turning into a little money.
After apprenticeship with Taoist Master Simu, Zhang Ziyu roughly figured out what kind of world he was in.
Strange things arose everywhere, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, and it was still a world of doomsday where the aura was gradually exhausted.
The cultivation speed of practitioners is slowing down day by day, and the resources are naturally becoming more and more precious.
Although Zhang Ziyu was fishing, he always wanted to make a lot of money outside, and he also wanted to get more resources to practice.
Anyway, time travel once, although he is not a teacher of Jiushu, but he can't be too far behind those "disciples" of Jiushu who became immortals and ancestors, right?
Longevity, long-term vision, carefree, leisurely fishing, this is also a big goal.
Now that he has this monster ranch, he finally has some confidence.
"But we have to get a monster to lock it in first."
Zhang Ziyu thought about it, his eyes gradually lit up, and he muttered, "Why don't you lock up a walking corpse first?"
The walking corpses, that is, the guests outside, gathered Yin Qi, and the corpse Qi first appeared, but it was still under control, and none of the corpses turned into zombies.
This thing should also be among the monsters.
Zhang Ziyu left the monster ranch, and then walked towards the middle of the compound.
"Snapped"
As soon as he came back, Taoist Simu grabbed him and rubbed Zhang Ziyu's face with both hands, and began to ravage him.
"Good apprentice, did you fall into the toilet?"
"Four calls (Master), quick. Let go of your elbow (hand)."
Priest Simu let go of Zhang Ziyu and said, "Set up the altar to burn incense and send these guests off."
"Decree from the Supreme Supreme, surpassing your dead souls, all ghosts and ghosts, all four lives will be blessed"
The Taoist priest with four eyes recited the mantra of the past life, threw out a handful of paper money, and the three clear bells in his hand jingled with a melodious sound.
"I'm sorry guys, I was going to send you back home, but troubled times hurt people, your family has either moved or is gone, and it's impossible to go back this time. I'm here to be the master, send Brothers, make an exception, and live a better life in your next life."
Daoist Simu mumbled a few words, then shook the Sanqing bell and handed it to Zhang Ziyu.
"Ziyu, go and send them away and burn them clean."
"Okay, master."
Zhang Ziyu was delighted when he heard that, and seeing that there was no chance to do something wrong, now he can arrange it by himself.
The four-eyed Taoist gave his disciple a strange look, and it was strange that the Fish-Moving King was so active.
But fortunately, Taoist Simu didn't pay attention to these details, and took Jia Le to call it a day and went into the room.
"Jingle Bell"
The bell of Sanqing rings, and the talisman paper is burned.
"All the corpses listen to the order, and the bell is used as a guide. Brothers, come with me."
Zhang Ziyu led several walking corpses out of the yard, and then walked slowly towards the nearby forest.
Naturally, you can't deal with walking corpses in your own yard, or the smell will not be good.
All the way to a clearing near the grove, Zhang Ziyu stopped ringing the bell.
There are a total of ten walking corpses, all wearing black robes, which is different from the ones in the movie.
They are all people who died as strangers, but where do they come from? Everyone is wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms.
The black robe on his body was given to them by Taoist Priest Four Eyes for the convenience of chasing corpses and not causing trouble.
Ten walking corpses stood in front of Zhang Ziyu. Zhang Ziyu glanced left and right, carefully sized them up.
"Brothers, my younger brother has something to ask, choose a lucky tourist, don't blame me if I offend you. That's all right, it's you."
Zhang Ziyu looked at it, and finally chose an honest man with a Chinese face.
Anyway, the strength is about the same, so it's better to bully honest people.
Pushing the selected walking corpse aside, Zhang Ziyu set up a fire and began to burn the remaining nine walking corpses.
After doing all this, Zhang Ziyu put it on the last walking corpse behind him, and then his mind moved.
"Containment"
