Chapter 462 The Ghost Empress 10
Little Shrimp was an orphan from a young age; according to Black Rose, she found him in a trash can.
Black Rose has a bad temper, is rude and greedy, and always beats or scolds the underlings. They have never experienced much family affection!
So even if Empress Dowager Cixi was a zombie, the little shrimp still had some affection for her!
"Your Majesty!" Little Shrimp looked at Empress Dowager Cixi and couldn't help but call out.
Black Rose tugged at Little Shrimp and said irritably, "Hey, brat, what are you doing? You're so reluctant to part with an old zombie!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the little shrimp and ran out of the tomb.
In the chaos, the lamp in Cixi's hand was knocked away by Ren Yinyin.
The lamp fell to the ground without being damaged in the slightest. Ren Yinyin was surprised and picked it up, stuffing it into her handbag.
I'll look into it when I get back!
Donglong turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the lamp, while the remaining zombies fell to the ground with mournful cries.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Cixi was being dragged away by Li Lianying, Mao Xiaofang gave chase.
……
Upon arriving outside the tomb, Mao Xiaofang looked around but couldn't find any zombies, which made him somewhat worried.
If zombies get into Gantian Town, it'll be a real problem!
"Master Mao, hurry and save the shrimp!" Black Rose ran out and said anxiously, pulling Mao Xiaofang along.
What happened to the shrimp?
"He's been captured by the old zombie!" Black Rose was frantic. "Empress Dowager Cixi mistook him for Emperor Puyi. If she finds out he's an imposter, she'll definitely kill him!"
Xiao Hai and A Chu followed, "Master!"
"Xiao Hai, release the lark!" Mao Xiaofang ordered.
The lark is not a real bird, but a spirit that can track down clues and deliver messages!
Xiao Hai took something out of his bag, opened his hand, and a bird-shaped light appeared. It flew into the air, sensed it for a moment, and then quickly flew off in a certain direction.
"Oh no, that's Gantian Town!" Mao Xiaofang checked the direction and his face turned grim.
Seeing everyone follow, Black Rose was a little worried. "Is it really okay to follow a bird? Humans are the most intelligent of all beings!"
Achu glanced at her and said, "Then you can search here by yourself! You are the spirit of all things!"
After saying that, he chased after Mao Xiaofang and the others.
"Hey, I didn't say I wasn't going!" Black Rose muttered as she followed.
"Hopefully we can find live shrimp!"
"Pah, pah, pah! The shrimp is lucky, it'll be alright!"
……
Empress Dowager Cixi refused to flee and was determined to find her beloved grandson, Xia Mi. She traveled all the way to Gantian Town, destroying houses everywhere and terrifying the villagers.
Upon seeing a little boy, Empress Dowager Cixi initially mistook him for a shrimp, but upon closer inspection, she discovered it was an unfamiliar little face.
Empress Dowager Cixi was furious and raised her hand to strangle the boy when suddenly, a voice came from behind her.
"Your Majesty!"
When Empress Dowager Cixi turned around, she saw her beloved grandson dressed in the emperor's robes!
"Your Majesty!" Empress Dowager Cixi rushed forward and saw that Xiaoxiaomi's face was deathly pale. She knew in her heart that this was because he had been poisoned by corpses and was about to turn into a zombie.
"No, no, my dear grandson can't become a zombie!" Empress Dowager Cixi used her fingernails to cut open Xia Mi's wrist, releasing black blood.
"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine once the blood is drained!" Empress Dowager Cixi stroked the little shrimp's face, her eyes filled with affection.
"Zombies!"
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Just then, two soldiers patrolled by. Upon seeing Empress Dowager Cixi, they screamed in terror and began firing their guns at her repeatedly.
Empress Dowager Cixi roared and pounced on the two men. Soon, the two soldiers died under her claws.
However, one soldier was carrying a newspaper with the date written on it, along with the news of the emperor's abdication and relocation...
Empress Dowager Cixi picked up the newspaper in disbelief and examined it closely, finding it increasingly unacceptable!
"The Qing Dynasty is over?"
"Impossible, impossible!" Empress Dowager Cixi put down her newspaper and looked at the little shrimp.
The little shrimp shrank back, looking fearfully at Empress Dowager Cixi who had come to his side.
"You are not my grandson!"
"I'm sorry, I lied to you!"
Empress Dowager Cixi sighed, picked up Xiaoxiaomi's wrist, and continued to bleed him.
When the small shrimp's corpse poison enters its body, its blood coagulates. If it is not released, it will never flow again and will become a zombie that can never see the light of day!
Mao Xiaofang arrived and saw Empress Dowager Cixi and Xiao Xiami. He shot out a peach wood sword, which hit Cixi in the back!
"Master Mao, please don't hurt the Empress Dowager! She's afraid I'll turn into a zombie, so she's bleeding me out!" Little Shrimp stood up and blocked Cixi's path.
A look of sorrow appeared in Cixi's eyes. "Taoist priest, please take me in. I don't want my soul to be scattered and unable to reincarnate when the sun rises!"
"Your Majesty!"
"My dear grandson, can you call me Grandma?" Empress Dowager Cixi stroked the little shrimp's face, looking at him expectantly.
The little shrimp shook its head and cried, "I don't want to call you grandma!"
Having spent his childhood in the underworld, how could he not understand the deathly intent in Cixi's words!
"My dear child, don't be like me, harming so many people for your own selfish desires!" Perhaps it is true that people speak kindly when they are about to die. Cixi looked at the little shrimp and earnestly instructed him.
"Taoist priest, kill me!"
Mao Xiaofang sighed, raised the peach wood sword in his hand, and stabbed Cixi in the heart.
The little shrimp cried incessantly, "Grandma!"
Empress Dowager Cixi closed her eyes with a look of satisfaction in them.
"I will give you a proper burial!" Mao Xiaofang said, unable to bear looking at Empress Dowager Cixi who had voluntarily sought death.
……
All the zombies in Cixi's tomb were dealt with, and Commander Li left Gantian Town with all the national treasures and soldiers.
Before leaving, he saw Mao Xiaofang come to see him off and couldn't help but say, "Master Mao, you are a man of real skill. When the Republic of China is unified, I will come back to drink with you!"
"Good!" Mao Xiaofang thought that Commander Li was not a bad person, just a bit stubborn. Fortunately, he was willing to shed tears when he saw the coffin.
Knowing to seek help from a Taoist priest doesn't mean you're being stubborn to the end!
"From now on, the security of Gantian Town is in your hands!" Commander Li looked at Song Zilong, then at Mao Xiaofang and the others, "Take care, everyone!"
……
Fuxi Hall
Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian finally had some free time and had the opportunity to explore Gantian Town.
The two finished their morning prayers early and then went out to play together.
"Master, are Senior Sister and Senior Brother going to stay in Gantian Town?" A-Chu asked Master Mao Xiaofang as Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian left the house.
Mao Xiaofang glanced at him. "What? You have a problem with that?"
"Oh, Master!" A-Chu grinned and leaned closer to Mao Xiaofang. "I wanted to ask my senior brothers and sisters some questions about cultivation!"
"Oh! So ambitious, do you want me to praise you?"
"Hehe, no need for praise, Master, it would be best if you scolded us less!" Achu and Xiaohai winked at each other, their voices growing softer and softer.
Mao Xiaofang glared at the two of them. "What, is your master no longer qualified to teach you?"
"Master, I didn't mean that at all," A-Chu said, feeling wronged.
He was thinking that being close in age would make it easier to talk to people!
They were nothing like their master. They always seemed stupid and not diligent enough, and their harsh words made the disciples feel intimidated!
"Hmph, I don't care what you mean!" Mao Xiaofang sneered. "You two only see that our senior brothers and sisters have high magical power, but didn't you see that they got up so early to practice?"
“Master, we also train!” Xiao Hai said defiantly.
Ah Chu nodded in agreement. "Master, don't always think they're lazy!"
"Yeah, if you don't even break a sweat, can you call that exercise?"
"Master..."
The three, master and disciples, were bickering when suddenly two people appeared at the entrance of Fuxi Hall.
"Miss Xiu, what brings you here?" Xiao Hai's face lit up with a smile as soon as he saw her.
"Huh? Why did you bring a blind person with you? Do you want my master to help cure your illness?" A-Chu stepped forward and asked.
