Chapter 481 What is a Zongzi?
The skill of binding spirits and commanding generals originated from the world of Under One Person and is one of the eight extraordinary skills of that world.
This ability is extremely powerful; it not only allows for the forceful manipulation of souls but also enables the conversion of some of the soul's abilities into one's own.
For example, if the controlled soul has the ability to create a maze of ghosts, then the person controlling it can also create a maze of ghosts, just with a less effective result than the original.
Besides, the core of the Spirit Binding and Commanding skill is still the Devouring of Ghosts; consuming a soul grants a slight overall enhancement.
It grants permanent enhancements to both the soul and the body, making it a very comprehensive and abnormal cultivation technique.
"From now on, souls will only be subservient to me. Let the main body study it carefully; maybe it can even create a Netherworld in this small world."
With the additions of the Complete Book of Leftist Paths and the Art of Spirit Control and Command, Cheng Feng's mind became more focused.
His small world is not yet complete. If he could separate it into the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, perhaps his physical body could also advance further.
However, this will have to wait until we kill Hao Ji and obtain the laws of spacetime, only then will we have the means to separate spaces.
I looked up at the clock and realized it was almost time.
After finishing the last sip of his drink, Cheng Feng got up and went to the dressing room to get dressed.
Twenty minutes later, Cheng Feng picked up Jade in a white-collar residential area.
The two chatted as they made their way to the meeting place with their employer.
"You don't seem quite right. Did you stay up late last night?"
On the way, Emerald saw Cheng Feng yawn and couldn't help but ask him.
Cheng Feng's lips twitched. He couldn't very well say that he had not only stayed up all night, but had fought more than Ip Man last night.
"You know my stall only opens at night, so staying up late is normal!"
"It's strange, really. Who would be so kind as to open their shop at night, especially since there are fewer customers at night?"
Jade crossed her legs, her two fair thighs pressed together, the hem of her skirt tucked between them.
"What do you know? Only those who come at night are more likely to be effective customers; most of them are just there to join the fun during the day."
Chatting casually along the way, the two soon arrived at a rather upscale residential area.
Jade made a phone call to her client, and only then did the security guard at the gate open the access control, allowing the two to drive their car into the community.
Based on the unit number provided by the customer, Cheng Feng drove around in circles before finally finding the place.
A man in his thirties with a baby face waved at Cheng Feng's car from a distance.
After getting off the bus, Cheng Fengfei and the man shook hands and introduced themselves.
This customer's surname is Yan and his given name is Hu. As his name suggests, he has made a name for himself in this coastal city with his indomitable spirit.
Now that they have suffered an undeserved calamity, they show no sign of bowing their heads.
Led by Yan Hu, Cheng Feng and Emerald entered the apartment building, took the elevator to the eighteenth floor, and at the door Yan Hu took a deep breath and said:
"Gentlemen, it's up to you now."
Now that the contract has been signed, once the details inside are settled, nearly half of the house will belong to Cheng Feng and Emerald.
Therefore, Yan Hu was not worried that the two of them would just go through the motions.
"Don't worry, we are professionals."
Jade's confident demeanor gave Yan Hu a sense of assurance.
He then took out his key and opened the front door.
Upon entering the room, Cheng Feng could smell the lingering scent of incense and paper money in the entryway.
Just like the photo Yan Hu sent to Jade, a black locust wood coffin was placed in the center of the living room.
There was an offering table in front of the coffin, with candles still burning on it and fresh offerings placed on a tray.
"The incense hasn't gone out at this critical juncture, so it seems that what's in the coffin is very important to that person!"
Cheng Feng and Emerald arrived at the offering table. After flicking their fingers to extinguish the candles, Cheng Feng said with a playful tone.
Seeing Cheng Feng's actions, Jade opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she swallowed it back.
"It's alright, it's just a little rice dumpling that's only two hundred years old, it won't cause any trouble!"
"Zongzi?"
Yan Hu was puzzled; what did this have to do with zongzi?
Cheng Feng forgot that tomb raiding novels hadn't become popular in this world yet, so ordinary people didn't understand these terms.
Jade looked at Cheng Feng meaningfully, but didn't say anything because there were outsiders present.
"Uh, it means zombie."
As Cheng Feng began to explain, the last wisp of incense smoke slowly dissipated.
The coffin lid of the locust wood coffin seemed to be about to collapse, and the entire coffin, supported by a wooden frame, began to shake.
"The coffin moved!"
Yan Hu cried out in surprise, then subconsciously took a few steps back.
Jade was also startled and quickly raised her hand to summon the medicine within her body, preparing to attack at any moment.
Just then, in the bedroom, which had no door, a dark figure rushed at lightning speed toward Yan Hu, who was behind Cheng Feng and Emerald.
Terror was already showing on Yan Hu's face, but the shadow was too fast. Even though his eyes reacted, his body had already lost the chance to dodge.
At the critical moment, a yellow talisman appeared on the forehead of the shadowy figure as if it had teleported.
Hiss... Roar.
A golden light suddenly appeared, and the dark figure roared as it lay flat on its back on the ground with a thud.
Cheng Feng and Fei Cui arrived at the attackers' location immediately.
"He...he's the one who came here with me that day."
Yan Hu's voice was still trembling a little, but overall he remained calm and didn't turn around and run away like a teammate in a horror movie.
A few days ago, the person who had placed the coffin sent a bespectacled man to buy Yan Hu's house.
However, an unexpected incident occurred during the house viewing, which is why the transaction did not go through.
The man's glasses were nowhere to be found; his face was pale, and a pair of fangs protruded from his mouth.
He lay stiffly on the ground, arms outstretched, his dark blue fingers covered with sharp nails.
There were two holes in the neck, but not a drop of blood was seen from the gap in the vena cava.
All outward signs indicate that this unfortunate bespectacled man has been drained of his blood and infected with corpse poison, turning him into a zombie.
Cheng Feng's yellow talisman was stuck in the middle of his forehead as if glued on. Unless someone deliberately peeled it off, it would never fall off even if a fan blew on it.
"It seems the person behind this has lost patience. This little zombie can be left here, just waiting for Mr. Yan to arrive."
Cheng Feng kicked the zombie at his feet; it felt like kicking a lump of iron.
This little zombie alone feels like it's comparable to those ancient zombies from the tomb raiding world.
"Cheng Feng, the big one is about to come out, be careful!"
Jade, staring at the coffin, spoke up to remind Cheng Feng.
Putting aside the fact that Cheng Feng extinguished its incense and candles, the three vibrant, living people in the room alone were a tremendous temptation for the zombie.
Crash.
As the coffin shook more and more violently, the wooden frame supporting it finally collapsed to the ground.
The moment the coffin hit the ground, the coffin lid slammed into Cheng Feng and the other two.
With an unchanged expression, Cheng Feng first pulled the jade behind him, then turned sideways and kicked the flying coffin lid.
With a loud bang, Cheng Feng kicked the heavy coffin lid against the wall next to him, and it crashed down with a loud noise.
The three then finally met the person they were there for.
This old zombie was dressed in Qing Dynasty official robes, wearing a crown with a beaded top and feathers.
The official robes had a tiger badge.
Jade quickly recognized the Manchu Qing Dynasty attire and asked in confusion:
"Judging from the insignia, he should be a fourth-rank military officer from the Qing Dynasty. The mastermind behind this is a Manchu, and he dug up his ancestors and put them here?"
