Chapter 445 The Zombie Taoist Priest (60 chapters complete)

"Hey, what's wrong with all of you looking so gloomy?" The starving ghost swaggered into the Taoist hall, acting as if he were a complete stranger. He even looked around and started rummaging through things, clearly starving and looking for something to eat.

Upon seeing the starving ghost, Zhong Jun felt as if he had seen a savior. He rushed forward, grabbed the ghost's clothes tightly, and pleaded earnestly, "Starving ghost, you must help us! Quickly pull Master Mao Xiaofang up!"

The starving ghost almost dropped the cakes and steamed buns in his hand when Zhong Jun pulled him like that. He quickly stuffed a few more mouthfuls into his mouth and mumbled, "Huh? I just came in to find something to eat. I'll leave right away after I finish eating!"

"Hungry ghost, please!" Zeng Cheng rushed over and, together with Zhong Jun, grabbed the hungry ghost tightly. "Just go to the underworld and pull Master up. We really have no other choice!"

Ren Yinyin watched from the side, and seeing that the starving ghost was still unmoved, she stepped forward, her eyebrows raised, and scolded in a sweet voice: "Starving ghost, if you don't go, I won't be polite to you! I will beat you until your soul is scattered, so that you will never be able to eat anything again!"

"Wow, you're such a vicious woman!" The starving ghost trembled at Ren Yinyin's words, and the cakes and steamed buns in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud." He pointed at Ren Yinyin and shouted in terror, "How can someone as pretty as you be more ruthless than Yang Feiyun?"

"Hungry ghost, please help us!" Ah Jin and Ah Fan looked at the hungry ghost with pleading faces, as if he were their lifeline.

“That’s right, if you’re willing to help us, you can eat whatever you want in the future!” Bixin assured her.

However, the starving ghost remained unmoved. He resolutely shook his head and said, "I finally escaped from the underworld. It's absolutely impossible for you to make me go back now!"

Before he could finish speaking, the starving ghost vanished in a flash.

"A starving ghost!" Everyone panicked.

Seeing this, Zhong Bang remained calm and composed. He gently tugged at the red thread in his hand, and the red thread, as if it had a life of its own, quickly extended in one direction.

In the blink of an eye, the end of the red line suddenly stopped, as if it had been tied to something.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of the starving ghost reappeared before everyone's eyes.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The starving ghost looked at Zhong Bang in astonishment and shouted, "You look so handsome and refined, why are you resorting to sneak attacks?"

"Abang, well done!"

Zhong Jun, who was standing nearby, was overjoyed when he saw this.

"Hurry, the hole in the underworld is getting smaller and smaller!"

Zhong Bang didn't delay any longer and used magic to send the starving ghost to the underworld.

The starving ghost screamed as it fell into the underworld and ran toward Mao Xiaofang.

"Hey, wake up!"

"Tie him up with the red thread, and I'll pull you up!" Zhong Bang shouted. The starving ghost nodded and pulled Mao Xiaofang along.

At the other end of the red line, everyone was putting in their utmost effort.

Exhausted and covered in sweat, Zhong Jun complained, "Aren't ghosts supposed to be weightless? Why are they so heavy?"

“Ghosts have no weight in the human world, but they have weight in the underworld!” Zhong Bang explained.

The exit to the underworld was getting smaller and smaller, and in their panic, they broke the red thread.

Zhong Bang reacted swiftly, scooping up the water from the basin with both hands, and Mao Xiaofang's soul was brought out of the underworld and back to the human world.

Mao Xiaofang's soul returned to his body, and soon he opened his eyes and regained consciousness.

"Mao Xiaofang, you're alive?"

"Master, it's wonderful! You've come back to life!"

"Uncle-Master, I'm so glad you're alright!"

"What's wrong with me?" Mao Xiaofang asked, holding her head in confusion.

"Uncle-Master, don't you remember?"

"Master, Yang Feiyun was beaten to the point of having his soul scattered by you, but Abang has brought you back from the underworld!"

"By the way, where's the starving ghost?"

Zhong Bang shook his head and said, "The starving ghosts have fallen into the underworld, and the entrance to the underworld has closed, so there's no way for them to return to the human world!"

"Oh? I'm so sorry to him!"

"At worst, we'll burn more paper money to make him more comfortable!"

"Uncle-Master, the starving ghost did a good deed, so it will definitely be able to be reincarnated as a human sooner!"

Mao Xiaofang nodded. "I hope so. I owe him my life!"

……

After Yang Feiyun was dealt with, everyone cheered and expressed their intention to hold a grand banquet to celebrate the good news.

However, just as everyone was excitedly discussing the details of the banquet, Zhong Bang suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "I'm leaving."

His words were like a boulder on a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Everyone stared at him in astonishment, not understanding why he chose to leave at this moment.

Zhong Bang explained, “Wherever there are demons, there I am. I have many things to do and cannot stay here for long.”

Upon hearing this, Bixin felt a pang of reluctance. She silently gazed at Zhong Bang, her eyes filled with deep affection.

She so wished that Zhong Bang could stay and share this joy with her.

In order to make Zhong Bang remember her, Bi Xin secretly disguised herself as Cheng Xiaoyu, walked up to Zhong Bang, and whispered, "Bang, do you still remember me?"

Zhong Bang looked at the "Cheng Xiaoyu" in front of him and felt a strange feeling welling up in his heart, but his memory was still blurry.

He shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't remember you."

Bixin was immediately filled with disappointment; she hadn't expected that her efforts would be in vain.

She couldn't help but burst into tears, which flowed like a flood.

Just when Bixin felt hopeless, a miracle happened.

Zhong Bang was suddenly struck as if by lightning, and memories flooded his mind like a tidal wave.

He stared wide-eyed at Bixin before him, and finally remembered everything.

“Bixin!” Zhong Bang exclaimed excitedly, opening his arms and embracing Bixin tightly.

Ren Yinyin, who was standing to the side, was so surprised by this scene that she couldn't close her mouth.

She said to Mao Xiaofang incredulously, "Uncle-Master, has the Forgetfulness Potion expired? Does the Grandmaster still use this kind of trick?"

Zhong Bang had previously drunk the potion of forgetfulness, which turned him into a five-times-reincarnated extraordinary person, causing him to forget Bi Xin.

But now, for some reason, the potion of forgetfulness has lost its effect, allowing him to regain his lost memories.

All of this seemed to be an arrangement of fate.

First forget your feelings, then cultivate yourself to achieve enlightenment, and then remember them. Perhaps this is the destiny between Zhong Bang and Bi Xin.

"Ouch!" Ren Yinyin cried out, clutching her head. "Who hit me?"

Mao Xiaofang smiled slightly, "Forget feelings, forget feelings, how can you forget without feelings?"

"Moreover, the human heart can sense emotions; even if it forgets, it can feel emotions again!"

"Ha, Mao Xiaofang, you're a grown man, but you're quite thoughtful!" Zhong Jun walked over and glared at Mao Xiaofang.

"Since you understand the feelings between men and women so well, why do you always run away from them?"

When Mao Xiaofang saw Zhong Jun, she looked embarrassed and said, "Um, I have something to do, I'll be going now!"

He ran away as if fleeing, with Zhong Jun chasing after him.

Zeng Cheng sidled up to Ren Yinyin and asked, "Senior Sister, when do you think we'll have another teacher's wife?"

Ren Yinyin shook her head, her face contorted in pain, and said, "I don't know. I only know that my head hurts so much. It must be bleeding. I need to go put some medicine on it!"

"Sigh, senior sister, you're such a blockhead, you have no sense of romance at all!" Zeng Cheng sighed.
