  So this morning was spent learning White Feather Eight Trigrams Palm under Ninth Uncle's guidance.

  Bai Yu also relied on his own amazing memory, and he simply learned it in the early morning, and was able to do it with style, although not as good as Jiu Shu's level, but already much better than before when he only knew some half-baked scattered fighting techniques.

  When the sun was three poles high, Ninth Uncle had White Feather stop and said to him: "Fellow Daoist, it's not early anymore. I suppose Ah Qiang has already informed the townspeople; let's go."

  "Alright, let's go, we don't want to keep the townspeople waiting too long."

  Then Bai Yu and Jiu Shu went out of the yard together, heading towards the inn in this town.

  Before long, they arrived at the inn. At this moment, the gate of the inn was crowded with people, who were either squatting or standing and talking loudly. When someone saw the two arriving, they hurriedly stopped their voices and greeted them: "Ninth Uncle, good morning. White Daoist, good morning."

  "Uncle Jiu, you've arrived."

  Bai Yu was taken aback by their words, he hadn't expected these people to also greet him, but soon understood the reason behind it, thinking that they must have known about what happened when Bai Yu and Jiu Shu fought against the horse thieves that day.

  At this moment, several local gentry walked towards Bai Yu and the others, who were exactly the same local gentry present at Jiu Shu's birthday celebration. Seeing Jiu Shu and Bai Yu, they all clasped their fists in greeting, then Buyer Hong spoke up: "Uncle Nine, I don't know what happened that made you suddenly issue a summons?"

  The rest of the villagers also nodded and cast questioning glances at Ninth Uncle.

  The ninth uncle's face was calm, and he couldn't see a hint of expression. He shook his head and said, "Let's go in and talk about it later." The villagers heard the words, still full of doubts, but they didn't dare ask more questions. They just nodded slightly and responded with a sound, then retreated.

  Then Ninth Uncle turned to face everyone and shouted at the crowd: "Everyone go into the guest house, I have something to say to you all."

  Upon hearing this, everyone didn't hesitate at all and immediately squeezed into the inn one after another.

  As they entered the inn, everyone casually found a seat and sat down. Then, Ninth Uncle found a place where everyone could see him and cleared his throat before speaking: "I suppose you all know that yesterday's theft of each family's ancestral tomb was done by those horse bandits."

  Everyone nodded. They all indicated understanding.

  Seeing everyone nodding, Ninth Uncle let out a sigh and said: "Yesterday's grave-robbing incident was actually deliberately done by that demon thief to attract everyone's attention, but she had another sinister plot."

  Everyone was stunned by the words, and a local gentry stood up and asked Jiū Shū (Nine Uncle) in doubt: "Nine Uncle, I don't know if she has any ulterior motives. Could it be that she has disturbed the feng shui of our town?" As one of the richest and most prestigious people in this town, he was very particular about the town's feng shui. After all, his success today was also due to the good feng shui.

  "Old Ninth shook his head and said, 'That's not it.'"

  Hearing this, Feng Hong and others seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, saying: "That's good. As long as the feng shui is not a problem, there's nothing wrong."

  Hearing what Mai Bang Hong and the others said, Jiu Shu sighed helplessly: "Although the feng shui hasn't caused any problems, but our town's safety has been threatened."

  "What?" The whole house was shocked by the words, and they naturally would not suspect Jiǔ Shū's words, because they knew that Jiǔ Shū never liked to joke around, especially when it came to important matters.

  Many local gentry also couldn't remain calm upon hearing this, after all it was a matter of their own lives.

  A local gentry hastily asked: "What's going to happen after all? Ninth uncle, please tell us in detail."

  The ninth uncle looked at the crowd, who were already tense with worry, and knew he couldn't show any negativity. Otherwise, it would only make these people even more panicked. So, with a serious expression, he said: "Just yesterday, that horse thief stole the corpse and then came to my house to take away many lonely ghosts. It seems that he went back to make zombies, and by tonight, there may be dozens of zombies coming to our town. Therefore, our town will likely be in danger tonight. If these zombies only come to my place to cause trouble, with me and Bai Daoyou here, we are not afraid of them. However, if these zombies find each and every one of you sitting here, I'm afraid that even the two of us would be powerless."

  Jiū shū jiāng zhè dǒu shī shuō chéng jiāng shī zì shì wèi le néng gòu ràng zhèn mín men hǎo lǐ jiě. Fǒu rán shuō dǒu shī yī bān de zhèn mín hái zhēn de bù huì zhī dào nà shì hé wù.

  The townspeople were all shocked to hear this, and they knew more about zombies. Because there is a profession of corpse driving, such monsters are widely spread among the people, and these townspeople all know that zombies are actually corpses that have changed. Moreover, such things will also suck human blood.

  At this moment, the whole room was in an uproar, with everyone discussing it loudly and chaotically.

  Jiu Shu saw this and couldn't help but shake his head. He took a deep breath, and facing the crowd, he shouted: "Quiet down, everyone listen to me."

  Jiū shū de huà hái shì hěn yǒu wēi shè lì de, zhè yī shēng suī shuō yě shì jiào wéi xiǎng liàng dàn shì hái méi yǒu dào gài guò jǐ bǎi rén de chéng dù, dàn shì zhè yàng zhè xiē rén què shì zhú jiàn de ān jìng le xià lái.

  When the room finally fell silent, Ninth Uncle spoke up: "We've actually thought of a solution. As long as everyone follows the arrangements, there won't be any danger tonight."

  When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly relaxed.

  "Now, I'll have Ah Qiang distribute some prepared talismans to everyone," said Ninth Uncle. "After you all return home and paste them all over your houses, Ah Qiang and Bai will then go from door to door, using chicken blood to inscribe talismanic characters on your doors and walls. This way, the zombies should be repelled. By nightfall, we can take care of the rest."

  "Alright, let's get started then. We'll try to finish setting up each household before nightfall." After a brief silence, Ah Qiang arrived with several bamboo baskets filled with talismans of various sizes. Old Master Ji instructed Ah Qiang to distribute them among the crowd and gave some final instructions before dismissing everyone to return home and set up their respective households.

  But just as Ninth Uncle was about to send everyone away, Mao Shanming came down from the upper floor of the inn. He seemed a bit hesitant but eventually came before Ninth Uncle and said: "Fellow Taoist, I'll also come to help out. Although my Taoist skills aren't great, at least I understand how to inscribe these talismans."

  By his side, Bai Yu nodded silently in agreement. Although Mao Shanming was uneducated and often deceived people for money, he still had a conscience and wasn't beyond redemption. Besides, he only swindled people out of desperation to survive.

  Jiu Shu nodded in agreement at this time, with a hint of satisfaction on his face, and said to Mao Shanming: "Then I'll have to trouble you, brother."

  Knowing that Jiu Shu needed chicken blood to draw talismans, the families in this town raised roosters and sent them to his door. There were quite a few of these roosters, nearly a hundred or so, and after draining their blood, they had a large basin full of it.

  Bai Yu and four others divided their work and began to carve talismans at each household.

  It was already late afternoon when they finished everything, and as the sky began to darken, the crowd that had gathered looked at each other and then returned together to Ninth Uncle's courtyard.

  Today, Ninth Uncle said to several people: "Today we must have a big battle, we must prepare fully. I still have a few Taomu swords, let Ah Qiang go to the warehouse to take them for everyone. There are also some talismans and magical instruments that everyone can use at will."

  At this time, Bai Yu waved his hand and said: "Brother Dao, I won't use it. This talisman is usually not far from my body. The extra ones can be used by everyone as a backup."

  "Oh?" Ninth Uncle was taken aback, and then carefully examined Bai Yu's body again. He shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, this battle can't be fought without a magic weapon. Although you know advanced lightning spells, those spells consume too much magical energy."

  Bai Yu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Dao worries too much. I won't be reckless. I really have a magic tool with me, look." Then Bai Yu put his hand behind his back and brought it out again, only to see that he was now holding a peach wood sword in his hand.

  Jiu Shu saw this and was suddenly shocked, doubting: "Fellow Taoist, what is this..."

  "Actually, this method of hiding things is something I learned from a master of sleight of hand. It took me a long time to practice until it was imperceptible, but it's really convenient for storing things."

  Jiu Shu heard this and couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise, saying: "I really didn't think that these Jianghu Taoists would have anything worth learning from."

  But Ah Qian circled around Bai Yu, seemingly trying to figure out where she had hidden the artifact. However, he couldn't find any clues and ended up circling around several times, scratching his head in confusion.

  But since Bai Yu had obtained the law enforcement equipment, Ninth Uncle didn't say anything else and instead instructed the other two to prepare.

  Jiǔ shū zì jǐ yě ná le shàng tā zì jǐ de fǎ qì — nà bǎ cáng yǒu jīn qián jiàn de táo mù jiàn.

  Translation:

  And Ninth Uncle himself also took up his own magical instrument - the peach wood sword that hid a money sword.

  It has to be said that the design is very clever, seeing this ordinary peach wood sword, anyone would find it hard to imagine that it's actually a sword within a sword, and even more so, a golden sword.

  That's right, it's the Golden Money Sword. This Golden Money Sword is different from the Copper Money Sword. The Golden Money Sword can be said to be a sword made entirely of gold, and the string of coins that can be seen are all made of gold. Its manufacturing method is very special, and its power is also much greater than those ordinary copper money swords.
