Urban Demon Slayer

Tan Zuo didn't lie.

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

What exactly happened, we have to 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.

Axiu and Tan Zuo were outsiders, and the people in the village didn't know where they came from. They seemed to appear in the village suddenly one day. Everyone saw that the mother and son were pitiful, so they gave them a place to live in a dilapidated temple in the village. Axiu was clever and ingenious, and in a few days the dilapidated temple was tidied up, and the two of them had a temporary place to stay.

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 were very kind to Axiu and him, and they often brought food and drink. Axiu had no land in the village, so there was no economy.

I would sew clothes or do cross stitch for everyone in exchange for some pocket money.

Therefore, in Tan Zuo's memory, the most profound impression is of Axiu sitting in front of the Guanyin statue, doing handicrafts carefully and stitch by stitch.

In this village, in addition to farming, many people grow medicinal materials and sell them to nearby towns after harvesting. Although Axiu does not have a field, it does not affect Tan Zuo who grew up in a pile of medicinal materials. He traveled from home to home all day long. He was very familiar with various medicinal materials early on. He knew what diseases this one could cure and what injuries that one could cure. Everyone said that Tan Zuo was smart since he was a child and would be great in the future.

This was also the happiest time in Tan Zuo's childhood. Although he had no father, he had a mother who loved him and simple villagers, so 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 became seriously ill.

A very serious illness, so serious that no matter whether Tan Zuo or

The old Chinese medicine doctors in Murakami were at a loss what to do. Tan Zuo sent his mother to a hospital in the town, and then to a hospital in the city, but in the end he was unable to save her life.

Before Axiu died, she held Tan Zuo's hand and said, "Never go find your father."

Tan Zuo said: "Okay."

Tan Zuo had never wanted to find his father. He felt that it was definitely not a good idea for his mother to be so good that his father could abandon her. Since it's not a good thing, why are you looking for him?

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

The burial place is in a field in the mountains behind the village. All the dead people in the village are buried there.

The whole process was smooth and without any surprises or twists and turns. But Tan Zuo was still young at that time. Although the villagers were very kind to him and often took turns taking him home to live and eat, he still missed his mother.

He is just an eleven or twelve year old child, how could it be possible?

What if you don’t miss your mother?

So he ran to the back mountain every night and cried bitterly in front of his mother's grave.

The turning point occurred three days later.

It was a starless and moonless night. Tan Zuo came to Axiu's grave as usual, lay on the grave and cried silently, as if he was still in his mother's arms.

Just above that graveyard, a battle suddenly broke out.

A man in a yellow Taoist robe, holding a sharp sword, fought with a half-man, half-ox thing. The Taoist was no match at first, and was beaten back repeatedly by the thing. Later, the Taoist used some unknown means to throw out a After pressing the talisman on the ground, the ground within a radius of tens of meters cracked open, and one after another, completely rotten or semi-rotten corpses emerged from the soil.

Even Axiu, who had just been buried, broke through the coffin and stretched out a hand from the soil, and then crawled out of it with her whole body.

Compared with those corpses that were almost skeletons or half-rotten, Axiu's body was undoubtedly still intact.

Well, the limbs are sound and the skin is smooth. Except for the stiffness in his movements, he looks like he is 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 again!

Under the control of the Taoist, a group of corpses rushed towards the half-man, half-ox thing. The corpses gathered firewood and the flames were high. 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 air. All the corpses, including Axiu, also fell down in an instant.

"Sorry for bothering you..." The Taoist waved his hands to everyone around him: "Thank you for your help, I will send everyone back to the earth now..."

The Taoist took out another talisman, raised his sword and struck it in the air, and then muttered something in his mouth. He didn't know what he said. The corpses, including Axiu, staggered back to their feet and faced their respective bodies. The pit passed.
