On his way back to the mountain gate, a swarm of rats suddenly rushed towards him. Among them, a giant red-eyed rat surprisingly spoke human words.
It said that the Three-Handed Monster was rampaging through the forest, slaughtering living beings, and pleaded with Li Banfeng to subdue it.
Li Banfeng replied, "Before we deal with the demon, we need to borrow a magical artifact from Wu Da at the charity graveyard."
What treasures could an old, ugly man guarding a charity graveyard possibly have?
He wasn't just any old man; years ago, he had been a skilled practitioner of Mausoleum Taoism. Unfortunately, he later strayed from the path and turned to grave robbing.
His luck had been surprisingly good that time when he unearthed an ancient tomb from long ago.
However, it seemed that this tomb had already been looted; otherwise, why would the coffin lid be ajar?
Summoning his courage, he peered inside and was immediately drenched in cold sweat. Lying within was a lifelike corpse with white hair.
This was likely the legendary Mutated Zombie.
Wu Da quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hand and cautiously backed away until he reached the tunnel's exit before daring to take a deep breath. His body trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with terror.
Just as he began to catch his breath, a heavier breathing sound came from behind him. At the same time, sharp claws extended from the coffin, and a figure sat up stiffly. It was the ancient corpse that had long since died but had now transformed into a zombie, its senses remarkably acute as it quickly detected Wu Da's breathing.
Without any magical artifacts, Wu Da dared not linger. He hurriedly scrambled out of the cave. Just as he emerged, he heard a chilling wind behind him; the corpse had leaped out of the cave and was now lunging at him like lightning.
Wu Da's eyes widened in horror, his face pale with fear.
Wu Da was unable to dodge in time, and a deep gash appeared on his face, the strong scent of blood driving the zombie into a frenzy as it leaped forward, eager to drink blood and feast on flesh.
At that moment, an old man resembling a beggar joined the fray; this man was none other than my master, Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng swung his Demon-Subduing Staff with great force, and the zombie struck by it let out a chilling wail of despair.
Without hesitation, Li Banfeng sprinkled sulfur on the creature and set it ablaze. His expression was serious, and his movements decisive.
Wu Da covered his bloody face and expressed his gratitude to his savior profusely: “With your skills, you could have been a hero for the people, yet you choose to wallow in these dark deeds.”
After saying this, Li Banfeng turned and left.
Inspired by Li Banfeng's words, Wu Da decisively ended his tomb raiding career. With his appearance now marred, he could only find work as a caretaker at a charity graveyard. However, helping to collect the bodies of the deceased still counted as accumulating good karma.
In fact, he spent the rest of his life dealing with the dead. Upon hearing about his past and seeing him again, he felt that the man was not as ugly as he had once thought.
“Jiu Ye, what brings you here in the dead of night?”
“May I borrow the talismans you brought back from Maoshan? It would be an honor for me to borrow something from the formidable Yan Jiu Ye who once ruled the underworld!”
Wu Da showed great respect towards Li Banfeng and presented him with two bamboo sticks tied with Five Emperor Coins.
“How did you know my true identity?” Jiu Ye asked with displeasure.
“Jiu Ye, your real identity is that of an old friend who has been dead for many years. You inadvertently revealed it to me. Lately, I’ve been seeing many deceased souls; I suspect my time is running short. Whether I live or die doesn’t matter much to me, but who will take over my duty at the graveyard?”
“Life and death are natural laws; there’s no need for you to worry. As for who will guard the graveyard, there’s no need for concern there either.” After saying this, Li Banfeng hurriedly led us away.
Stopping the Three-Handed Monster from slaughtering in the mountains was of utmost importance.
Under the leadership of Red-Eyed Shu King, the Chicken Dinner Trio swiftly made their way deep into the forest. The resurrected Three-Handed Monster was currently crouched on the ground, feasting on a wild chicken.
"Hey, hey, are you full yet? If you are, it's time to send you on your way."
Upon hearing this, demon quickly turned around, glaring with fury. "Have you three lost your minds? How dare you interrupt this king while he enjoys his drink! But then again, chicken blood drinks can't compare to human blood."
demon extended his monstrous hand to grab at us, but as soon as his claw got close, the Exorcising Bamboo Stick was immediately knocked away.
"It seems that the old man's talisman really works," I remarked. So, Ouyang Biao and I launched our ropes from both sides to bind him.
Despite the thinness of the ropes, they caused the monster to wail in agony, rendering him immobile.
Taking advantage of the situation, we pulled hard on the red rope. Li Banfeng had already prepared his butcher's knife to assist in a free surgery.
After the operation, the Three-Handed Monster was left with only two hands; one of those arms was a prime ingredient for a nourishing dish.
Ouyang Biao and I immediately declared that we wouldn't eat that monster's arm even if we were forced to.
However, Li Banfeng insisted that even if we wanted to eat it, he wouldn't allow it. He intended to gift this treasure to the fox for her enjoyment.
Seeing his flushed face, it was clear that he had an inappropriate relationship with that fox before.
