Chapter 854 Zombie World 30

"You don't need to thank me, Taoist priest."

As soon as Ruyi opened her mouth, Daoist Huang realized something was wrong. When Ruyi thanked him before, her voice was too soft and Daoist Huang didn't listen carefully. Now that it was quiet, he realized that Ruyi was actually a girl.

"So you are a Kun Daoist. I apologize for my rudeness."

"I'm not a Taoist priest." Ruyi explained briefly, and then said to Taoist Huang: "Although the demon fetus has been resolved, the demonic energy above the Marshal's Mansion has not dissipated. I'm not a Taoist priest and I can't open an altar to perform rituals, so I'll leave the matter here to the Taoist priest to finish it off."

Taoist Huang was just surprised that Ruyi was not a Taoist when he heard Ruyi hand over the finishing touches to him. He immediately reacted and nodded in agreement.

"This is what I should do. If we don't find a way to disperse this evil spirit, it won't be long before it will give rise to many more demons and monsters."

Afterwards, Ruyi went to Taoist Huang's charity cemetery to rest for a night to restore her spirit and physical strength. Then she said goodbye to Taoist Huang and left.

Everyone in Marshal Xu's mansion had died, so Ruyi naturally didn't need to dress as a man anymore. But after trying it out, she found that dressing as a man brought her less trouble, so she decided to keep dressing like that and not change back for the time being.

After getting on the train and leaving Changle Town, Ruyi sat all the way to the final destination, Guangzhou. After arriving in Guangzhou, she had to walk the rest of the way and could not take a car.

Walking on the streets of Guangzhou provincial capital, Ruyi, who had been sitting in a hard sleeper for several days, just wanted to find a place to have a good rest and then go to Tengteng Town. Coincidentally, just as she found the inn and was about to walk in, she ran into Wencai and Qiu Sheng who were about to leave.

"Ruyi, why are you here?"

Qiu Sheng asked in surprise when he saw Ruyi.

"I just came back from Guangxi by train and came to the inn to rest for a few days. Why did you come to the provincial capital?" Renjia Town is just below the provincial capital. Although it is not far from the provincial capital, it is not close either. Qiu Sheng and Wencai rarely come here on weekdays.

"We..." Hearing Ruyi's question, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai looked at each other guiltily, not knowing how to answer. They came to the provincial capital this time to pass on a message to Jiushu's apprentice sister Zhegu.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you can't say?"

Just when Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, Zhe Gu, who had dropped something, chased out and said, "Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, wait a moment, there is a letter here, can you help me bring it to my senior brother?"

When she saw Ruyi, Zhegu's eyes lit up at first. After taking a closer look and realizing that Ruyi was a girl, the excitement on Zhegu's face faded a lot and she walked towards the three of them.

"Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, this girl is..."

"Uncle Master." X2 Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai greeted Zhe Gu in unison. Seeing that the person had come over, they began to introduce the two people.

"Uncle Master, this girl is Ruyi. She stayed in our charity cemetery for a while."

"Ruyi, this is my master's junior sister, Senior Uncle Zhegu."

"Have I stayed in your charity cemetery for a while?" When Zhe Gu heard this, she immediately became alert when she looked at Ruyi. Looking at the face of this Miss Ruyi, she was so beautiful even if she dressed up as a man. Who knows how she will look after she changes into women's clothes.

Senior Brother wouldn't fall in love with her, would he? Thinking of this, Zhe Gu thought about Uncle Jiu's character again and shook her head. It shouldn't be possible. With Senior Brother's character, he wouldn't be so easily fascinated by beauty. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unable to win him over for so many years.

"Miss Ruyi." Thinking of this, Zhe Gu let down her guard and greeted Ruyi with a smile.

"Hello, Aunt Zhe." Ru Yi responded with a smile.

After hearing Ruyi's address to her, Zhe Gu suddenly felt unhappy. After all, she was still Ruyi's elder. Even if she was not Ruyi's uncle, she could at least call him senior. Why was this girl so rude?

Qiu Sheng was smart and realized why Zhe Gu was unhappy when he saw her expression was not right. He quickly helped to explain, "Uncle Master, don't get me wrong. Ruyi, Master, and Uncle Master Simu are all equals. She didn't mean to be so rude."

"She, your master, and Senior Brother Simu are also discussing religion on an equal footing? Is that true or not?" Zhe Gu looked at Ruyi's youthful face, which looked no more than twenty years old, and really didn't understand why.

Ruyi doesn't like to act young, nor does she like to deliberately call herself younger and other women older in order to look younger, so she said directly to Zhe Gu: "I think Zhe Gu is less than 40 years old, not even a fraction of my age. I think it would be inappropriate to really call you senior or uncle."

"What?!!" x3

These words really scared the three of them. What do you mean not even a fraction of her age? Zhe Gu is thirty-seven years old this year. If what Ruyi said is true, doesn't it mean that Ruyi is at least over one hundred and thirty years old this year?

"Ruyi, what are you talking about? Aren't you only in your twenties?" Qiu Sheng felt that Ruyi was joking. "This is not a joke!"

"I'm not kidding. I'm really much older than you. As for how old I am..." Ruyi touched his chin and recalled carefully, "Well... I don't remember."

“But I’m definitely at least a thousand years old.” Ruyi couldn’t figure out exactly how to calculate her own age, but she added in the hundreds of years she had spent in the world of Journey to the West, the years she had lived in each world while traveling through time and space, and then added in the years she had lived in the main world before traveling through time and space, and estimated that she was definitely at least a thousand years old.

"A thousand years old?!!!!"

"Miss Ruyi, right? This is not a joke!" Zhe Gu was really serious now. She stared into Ruyi's eyes and said, "If what you said is true, do you know what it means?"

It means Ruyi is not a human being!

In this day and age, even those ancestors of secluded sects can only live for 500 years at most. And although they have a long lifespan, they are not immortal. So none of them looks as young as Ruyi. Only the monsters who have become spirits and the most ferocious ghost kings can maintain a youthful appearance and live for so many years.

"I know." Ruyi nodded.

"Impossible?" Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai didn't want to believe it at all. "If it was true, how could Master not see it when he examined your injury?"

Uncle Jiu can diagnose illnesses and naturally feel bones. No matter how young a person's face looks, her bones have age. The situation that Qiu Sheng and Wencai described is only limited to mortals. Not to mention that Ruyi is not a human being. Even if Ruyi is a human being, she is an immortal who has long transcended mortals, so her age cannot be felt.

"Don't dwell on this. You'll understand it later." Ruyi didn't want to talk about this with Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, and Zhe Gu, whom she had just met. "I'm going back to my room to rest. Don't you have anything else to do?"

After Ruyi's reminder, the three of them remembered what they were originally going to do. Zhe Gu no longer worried about Ruyi's age, and quickly took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Qiu Sheng.

"Hey, can you please give this letter to my senior brother for me? Just tell him that I will be waiting for him here for the next few days, and if he thinks it through, he can come find me."

"Okay, uncle."

"I understand, uncle."
