Chapter 176 Raising corpses
At this moment, the young people not only have more confidence in themselves, but also in Pan Yun.

"We almost caught the shadow just now. What are you afraid of? Just go for it."

Pan Yun pulled Miao Zhen and Miao He to his side and said, "Go ahead. I can show you the way. Go in and head north. There is a mountain there. There are its accomplices in the mountain."

"Are there any accomplices?"

"Yes, otherwise why do we say that Chen Ziwu might be in their hands?" Pan Yun said, "Are you going to stay here and debate with me? The longer it takes, the greater the possibility that Chen Ziwu is dead."

The young men turned pale, and they came to their senses with a start, and immediately said, "We, let's go now."

It was pitch black and the road was almost invisible, but once one got used to the darkness one could vaguely see the road.

Pan Yun took the lead and ran to the academy.

The others were afraid of being left behind, so they quickly followed. Wenjie, who had just been frightened too much, stood in the middle to protect everyone.

At this time, the gate of the Great Shangqing Palace was still open. Because it was a holiday, the gate would close later than usual to leave the door open for students who came back late.

As soon as Pan Yun entered the Great Shangqing Palace, he did not return to the academy, but rushed straight to the main hall and shouted to the Taoist priests who were doing evening classes inside: "Brothers, there is a demon traveling down the mountain."

The Taoist priests who perform evening classes in the Dashangqing Palace are naturally Taoist priests with great achievements in cultivation.

At least they got the certificates.

More than a dozen people opened their eyes at the same time and turned to look at Pan Yun.

Pan Yun was not afraid, and pointed outside and said, "Brother, we encountered a strange shadow on the way back, and it rolled the students into the woods."

When they heard that students were rolled up, the Taoist priests finally reacted and stood up, "How many were rolled up? When was it rolled up? Can you see clearly what it is?"

At this moment, the teenagers also arrived. When they heard the question, they immediately answered in a flurry.

The Taoist priest quickly sorted out the situation, "Does that mean the student who was captured has been rescued? But there is still one in their hands?"

The boys looked at Pan Yun.

Pan Jun nodded, "When I saw him today, I felt that he was in danger of bloodshed, but I wasn't sure. I didn't see him on the way back just now, and the black shadow paused in front of the mountain, so I suspected that it knocked someone unconscious and hid."

A Taoist priest frowned and asked: "Why didn't you go to rescue him then?"

Pan Jun said with a sad face: "I wanted to, but I saw that Junior Brother Wenjie seemed to have lost consciousness, so I saved Junior Brother Wenjie first."

"After rescuing Wenjie, we should also rescue ..."

"Okay," another Taoist priest interrupted him and said, "Junior Sister Pan is alone. It seems that the black shadow has accomplices. If she goes in to save them, what will happen to the six children on the road outside? She is also considering the overall situation."

"Yes, the overall situation is more important."

"Get ready, let's go down and take a look."

“So many people going down?”

"The mountains are high and the forests are dense. We don't know where it is hiding. More people will help us find it. We don't have enough manpower. Let someone go to the academy and call a few more people to help us."

The leading Taoist priest immediately made arrangements, "Let's go to the Criminal Law Hall of the Academy. Unfortunately, Hall Master Lin has gone to the Cliff of Repentance to reflect on his past. Let's go to Dean Zhang and ask him to make the decision. The rest of us will go down the mountain first."

Pan Yun immediately said, "Brother, I will go with you."

"This……"

"Brother, don't worry. I dare to go into the forest alone without any burden." She sighed and said compassionately, "We cultivate Taoism to slay demons and monsters. I had no choice but to go up the mountain just now. If I really caused Brother Chen to die, or if the monster escaped and harmed people, I would be deeply guilty."

"Junior sister, please don't think like that. You should put the overall situation first, and the rest is fate. We just need to do our best, and the rest cannot be forced."

"That's right. If a cultivator insists on doing even this, then there is no point in living, let alone cultivating the Tao."

"To cultivate the Tao, we need to relax our mind. If we can do it, we should do it. If we cannot achieve it, we should not force ourselves to do it."

"Relax, relax..."

Pan Jun was stunned for a moment, then glanced at their faces to make sure that they were giving his advice sincerely. Except for two or three people who frowned and disagreed, the rest of them looked relaxed.

Pan Jun couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, "I will teach you, I will teach you."

But everyone agreed that Pan Yun could follow.

Firstly, she was one of the parties involved and had chased the shadow before, so she could provide some help;
Secondly, her cultivation is not weak.

There was such a big commotion in the academy that night. Although they didn't run over to watch, they knew about it and took a look secretly.

At this moment, they felt the surging vitality in Pan Yun and did not think that her cultivation was weaker than theirs.

So, let's do it together.

Pan Yun handed the bag to Miaozhen and Miaohe, "You go back to the academy first."

Miao Zhen Miao He Mo Mo took it and took out the talisman from his body and gave it to her, "Little Master, take care of yourself."

Pan Jun took the talisman and stuffed it into his arms, and took Pan Xiaohei from Miaohe's arms over, "Don't worry, I'm very strong."

The Taoist priests looked down at the black cat in her arms, "You, you bring a cat with you when you go out to catch monsters?"

Pan Yun thought about the touch, shape, and black air of the shadow, and said, "It's not certain whether it is a monster or not. It could be a human."

The Taoist priests were silent for a moment and then said, "Even if it's a human, what's the point of bringing a cat?"

Pan Yun stroked the cat and said, "It's not very useful, but I can't live without it." "Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's go."

Without the holdback of students with low cultivation level, they could go down the mountain much faster.

The Taoist priests flew down the mountain like the wind, and Pan Yun followed closely behind them. No matter how fast they were, she could keep up.

Several of them developed a competitive spirit and ran faster and faster. Pan Yun was always able to follow them at a leisurely pace without feeling any effort at all.

Suddenly Pan Jun slowed down and said to the few people who were still rushing forward as if in a competition: "Brother, this is..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the person had disappeared, leaving Pan Jun alone standing on the tree branch, enjoying the cool breeze.

After a while, the figures flew back and several people stood in a semicircle, surrounding Pan Yun in the middle.

One of them coughed lightly and said, "Excuse me, Junior Sister. We ran too fast. Is this where you encountered the black shadow?"

Pan Yun said, "It's about this part. Come with me into the woods and check it out."

After that, she took the lead and rushed to the front.

In the night, the shadows of the trees swayed and looked like human figures, but Taoists sometimes judged things based on their aura rather than their shapes.

In the dark, the best way is to identify objects by their scent.

Pan Yun only stopped twice on the way and brought them to the destination.

There is a mountain not far ahead.

"Junior sister is amazing. She can even find the way in the dense forest late at night."

Pan Yun said: "Brother, you are too kind. I am not that powerful. I just left some traces of my energy along the way."

The Taoist priests suddenly realized.

A Taoist priest took out a talisman, waved his hand, the talisman paper burned, and a ball of flame burned in the palm of his hand, illuminating the world.

Everyone looked in the direction Pan Yun pointed. "Everyone, spread out and look for him. Two people in a team. Don't get separated."

Everyone agreed, and the Taoist priest who spoke walked to Pan Yun, nodded and smiled, "I will go with Junior Sister Pan."

Pan Yun agreed and asked, "What's your name, Senior Brother?"

"Zhang Zixiang, Zhang Ziming is my brother."

Pan Jun raised an eyebrow, "Dean of Shihua Academy?"

It is said that she was one of the people who wanted to take her in as an apprentice and gave her a Taoist name that night.

"That's right," Zhang Zixiang said with a smile, "It seems that Junior Sister has heard of my brother's name. He has now come out of seclusion, and Shihua Academy will start classes soon. If Junior Sister is interested, she can go and listen."

Pan Yun agreed with a smile and said that he would definitely go when he had time.

Zhang Zixiang was not holding fire in his hands. He was surrounding fireballs on his side. When he moved, the fireballs moved, illuminating the entire path ahead of them clearly.

Pan Yun looked carefully and found traces of people walking in the grass, but no trace of the black shadow.

Following the traces, the two people were getting farther and farther away from the team. In fact, every team was getting farther and farther away from the team. After all, with the previous point as the center point, if they searched in all directions, they would naturally get farther and farther away.

Pan Yun and Zhang Zixiang were walking forward along the trail when they suddenly turned their heads and Zhang Zixiang swung the sword in his hand to the side.

The flying sword pierced into the bushes with a clang sound. A black shadow flew out, avoiding the light of the fireball and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Pan Yun and Zhang Zixiang quickly followed.

Zhang Zixiang waved his hand, and the sword behind him flew over and caught his hand. In an instant, he stabbed forward with the sword like an eagle flying downwards.

The black shadow couldn't escape, so he had to stop, bend down to dodge the sword, and fight back at the same time.

Pan Yun also rushed over and threw out a talisman paper, which instantly turned into a fireball in the air. It circled around the black shadow in two whooshes, leaving it nowhere to hide.

It can be seen that it is afraid of fire, and things that are afraid of fire are usually afraid of thunder.

Pan Yun made a hand gesture and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking the black shadow accurately.

The black shadow froze, stood there for a moment, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Zhang Zixiang looked at Pan Yun in surprise and quickly stepped forward.

The black air around him had not yet dissipated and emitted a foul smell, but it could be seen that the figure was a human.

Zhang Zixiang pushed aside all the black hair covering his face, and when he saw his half-rotten face, he took a step back in shock, covering his mouth and nose and said, "It's actually a rotten corpse."

"Rotten corpse?" Pan Yun stepped forward, "Is it a rotten corpse or a zombie?"

Zhang Zixiang said with certainty: "It is a rotten corpse, but it should be preserved using the method of zombie. This person is a great evil and must be eradicated."

Pan Yun squatted down and looked at his hands, feet and face carefully, frowning, "He just died like that? I mean, he is useless now?"

Zhang Zixiang also frowned, "It shouldn't be. He was just struck by lightning and temporarily lost his ability to move. If he is found by the other party, he might be able to use it again."

This was a bit beyond Pan Yun's expectations, because in his previous life, there were very few such cases. For Pan Yun, raising ghosts was normal, but raising corpses... only existed in legends.
