Urban Demon Slayer

Chapter 540: come alive

Tan Zuo did not lie.

He did research the 2.0 version of the corpse control technique, which turned his mother Axiu into what she is now.

What's going on, let's start from the beginning.

Tan Zuo was born in a single-parent family. He didn't know who his father was since he was a child. He only lived with his mother, Axiu, in a small mountain village. Speaking of which, Tan Zuo didn't know what his mother's name was, but the neighbors called her Axiu, so Tan Zuo remembered it.

A Xiu and Tan Zuo were outsiders, and the people in the village didn't know where they came from, as if they suddenly appeared in the village one day. Everyone saw that the mother and son were pitiful, so they gave them a place to live in the ruined temple in the village. Axiu was ingenious, and cleaned up the ruined temple in a few days, and the two of them had a temporary shelter.

Tan Zuoji is not very clear about that memory, after all, he was only four or five years old at that time. He only remembered that the villagers treated Axiu very well, and they were also very kind to him. They often brought food and drinks. Axiu had no land in the village and no source of income, so he would mend clothes for everyone, or embroidered cross-stitches to make In exchange for some pocket money.

Therefore, in Tan Zuo's memory, the deepest impression is the appearance of Axiu sitting in front of the Avalokitesvara statue, earnestly doing manual work, stitch by stitch.

In this village, in addition to farming, many other people grow medicinal herbs, which are then sold to nearby towns. Although Axiu has no fields, it does not affect Tan Zuo's growing up in the heap of medicinal herbs. Looking at it, everyone said that Tan Zuo was a smart child, and he would definitely be amazing in the future.

This was also the happiest time of Tan Zuo's childhood. Although he didn't have a father, he had a mother who loved him and simple villagers, and his life was considered carefree.

However, the good times did not last long. When Tan Zuo was eleven or twelve years old, his mother, Axiu, suffered a serious illness.

The disease was very serious, so severe that neither Tan Zuo nor the old Chinese medicine doctor in Murakami could do anything about it. Tan Zuo took her mother to the town hospital, and then to the city hospital, but ultimately failed to save her life.

Before Ah Xiu died, she held Tan Zuo's hand and said, "Never go to your father."

Tan Zuo said, "Okay."

Tan Zuo never thought of looking for his father. He thought that if his mother was so good, it was definitely not a good idea for his father to abandon her. Since it's not a good idea, what are you doing with him?

After Axiu's death, Tan Zuo used a trolley to pull his mother's body back to the village. With the help of the villagers, he purchased a coffin, put it in the coffin, and buried it.

The place of burial is in a field in the back mountain of the village, where the dead in the village are buried.

The whole process was uneventful, without any surprises and twists and turns. But Tan Zuo was still young at that time. Although the villagers treated him very well and often took him to their homes to live and eat, he still missed his mother.

He's only an eleven or twelve-year-old child, how could he not miss his mother?

So he ran to the back mountain every night and went to his mother's grave to cry.

The turning point came three days later.

It was a starless and moonless night. As usual, Tan Zuo came to Axiu's tomb and lay there crying silently, as if he was still in his mother's arms.

Just above the tomb, a battle suddenly broke out.

A man in a yellow Taoist robe, holding a sharp sword, fought with a half-human, half-cow thing. The Taoist was not an opponent at first, and was beaten back and forth by the thing. After the talisman, and then pressing on the ground, the ground within a radius of tens of meters cracked, and one after another, completely rotten or half-rotten corpses emerged from the soil.

Even A Xiu, who had just been buried not long ago, broke through the coffin and stretched out a hand from the ground, and then his entire body crawled out of it.

Compared with those corpses that were almost skeletons, or half rotten, Ah Xiu's body was undoubtedly still intact, with healthy limbs and smooth skin. Except for the fact that his movements were a little stiff, he seemed to be alive.

Tan Zuo stared at this scene dumbfounded, he didn't feel scared, he just felt happy and happy.

Mother is alive again, mother is alive!

Under the control of the Taoist, a group of corpses rushed towards the half-human, half-cow thing, and the flames were high when the corpses gathered firewood. With everyone's efforts and biting, the monster finally fell to the ground and died tragically on the spot. .

The Taoist was so tired that he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath. All the corpses, including Ah Xiu, fell down in an instant.

"I'm sorry, sorry for disturbing you..." The Taoist cupped his hands again and again at the surrounding: "Thank you for your help, and now I will send everyone back to the soil..."

The Taoist took out another talisman, raised his sword and picked it up in the air, and then muttered something in his mouth, not knowing what he said. The pit went over.
