Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

Chapter 436

"Go together?" Ma Dadan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking suspicious.

He didn't believe there were any truly kind people in the world; surely they wouldn't be after something in return?

He didn't have a single piece of silver on him. If the Taoist priest tried to cheat him out of his money, that wouldn't do.

Besides, they're not related by blood or marriage, why should he insist on going with them? Maybe there's some benefit to it...

Ma Dadan himself wasn't a good person, so he certainly wouldn't think of people in a good light. The moment he thought of any potential benefits, his eyes lit up, and he felt even more determined not to let anyone be greedy.

After thinking it over, he immediately waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, I can do it myself. I have a peach wood sword, don't I?" He waved the peach wood sword in his hand and instantly felt much more at ease.

On second thought, he found it absurd. Where would so many ghosts come from? And even if there were so many ghosts, he might not necessarily encounter them.

How could he be so unlucky?

Looking at the peach wood sword in his hand, Master Xu revealed a look of distrust.

This guy's nonchalant manner doesn't make him look like a Taoist priest at all. Even if he has a peach wood sword, do you think he can really use it?

Master Xu noticed the dark color on the man's forehead and, upon hearing him mention the ancestral hall, sensed that the problem lay there. Based on his principle of saving lives, he decided to offer his assistance, but he never expected the man to be so ungrateful.

He couldn't force someone to buy or sell if they didn't want to, but Master Xu sighed and, unable to bear it any longer, tried to persuade them again.

“My friend, really, there’s no need. I’ll go with you. The ancestral hall is not a safe place, especially at night. There are eerie things that might cause trouble. I’m afraid your mortal body might not be able to withstand it!”

Ma Dadan shuddered, but didn't utter a word.

He hadn't forgotten his bet with Hua Laojiu, which was ten silver dollars.

What if Hua Lao Jiu doesn't recognize me if I bring one more person?

Moreover, since this stranger was so kind, he couldn't easily trust him.

After thinking for a moment, Ma Dadan still declined outright: "Thank you for your kindness, Taoist priest, but I can go by myself. I'll handle anything that happens. That's all, thank you, I'll be going now!"

After saying that, he patted Master Xu on the back and quickly left.

He was in a hurry to earn those ten silver dollars.

Master Xu watched his retreating figure, shook his head, and thought, "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. I've already said so much, whether he listens or not is up to him."

Soon, Ma Dadan arrived at the ancestral hall.

Not to mention that this place is deserted, there are many coffins parked here.

It actually looks quite gruesome.

He swallowed hard, but for the sake of ten silver dollars, he endured it. He went inside, found a place to sit, and waited.

Time passed by, and soon it was evening.

As night fell, a sinister fog began to rise, making it difficult for Ma Dadan to see clearly outside, which caused a sense of unease to rise in his heart.

As night fell, the ancestral hall became increasingly frightening to look at.

Especially the coffin, placed right in the center, he seemed to hear some creaking sound of wood rubbing together, but upon closer listening, it seemed not to be. This made him feel uneasy and he couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Just then, "Bang!" The coffin was suddenly opened, and the coffin lid seemed to have been pushed open forcefully, falling to the ground and startling Ma Dadan.

"Ah!" he screamed in fright, and at that moment, he saw a blue-faced zombie jump out of the coffin.

His face had long since become gaunt due to the events that had transpired.

It reeked of an indescribable stench.

Its body stiffened, it sniffed, took a step and a hop, and then quickly locked onto Ma Dadan. This was because it smelled human scent, which triggered the zombie's corpse nature.

"Ah! Zombies, zombies!" Ma Dadan never expected to actually encounter zombies, and he kept screaming.

"Help! Help!" he cried repeatedly, but it was the dead of night in the ancestral hall; who would come to his rescue?
