Why am I feeling so restless? Being quite at unease I try and mediate but to no avail. Unable to concentrate I leave Cloud Recess to walk around the town when I come across a group of people looking quite apprehensive.

"What's the matter?" I enquire and witnessing my forehead band, knowing that I am a cultivator from Gusu, they immediately inform me, "My brother witnessed a strange person last night. He was coming home when a man with a foul smell and weird eyes was killing an animal mercilessly. At the sight of my brother he chased after him. Luckily for my brother, he entered the village and started screaming. When villagers came out to help him, the strange person ran away."

Walking Corpse.

"If you see them again please contact Gusu clan immediately."

"Definitely!" they looked relived and I stroll around to gather more information.

"Brother" I knock at his chamber door and he trails his gaze from the book he is reading to mine and they are filled with abundant warmth

"Come in, Wangji. You look worried. What is the matter?"

I narrate the entire incidence that transpired at the village and he looks on pensively, "That is quiet disturbing. Never have those walking corpse approached any village. We need to curb this matter and investigate it quickly."

I nod, "Let me go."

"Take some disciples with you." Gege suggests and I am about to leave when he stops me, "Be safe."

Bowing down I leave his chamber and staunter towards Uncle's room where he is meditating. Bowing down I explain to him the situation and he too agrees with Gege. Having their permission I choose few of the disciples to accompany me and we're about to leave when Gege calls my name.

"Wangji."

"Gege?"

"Try to settle the matter soon as we have young guests coming to Gusu. We don't want them to encounter any problems."

"Hm."

"Be safe."

Bowing, we leave.
