Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 20: A Zombie Appears in Xiagou Village

The master went on to say: "From what you said at the time, it can be seen that this terracotta figurine absorbed the blood of ghosts in that cemetery, then converted it into red blood, and then passed the blood onto him." He pointed to the ancient corpse lying in the middle.

I touched my throat, feeling a little scared, if Lin Tong hadn't saved me, I would have been bitten to death by this guy.

I asked Master, "What is this corpse? Is it a ghost corpse? Why is it wearing ancient clothes?"

Master shook his head: "It's much more powerful than ghost corpses. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a zombie!"

I was taken aback: "Huh? A zombie?"

Master said affirmatively: "That's right, and it should be a zombie that is more than hundreds of years old."

"Huh? Didn't expect him to be an ancient man?" I couldn't help being curious.

Master nodded: "We'll talk about this later. Come here, and I'll see if I can suck out the Yin blood for you."

I hurriedly leaned forward on my feet, sat on the ground, and stretched my right leg flat into the range illuminated by the yin and yang mirror.At this moment, my right leg has been ravaged by the yin blood and has turned into a sour purple color. It is thicker than the left leg, and it seems to be swollen. The skin is stretched and shiny, and every capillary can be seen clearly. It was clear, as if it was about to explode at any moment, and it felt cold to the touch.

Master took the figurine and laid it down next to my leg.

Strange to say, as soon as I put it down, the terracotta figurine's calf quickly turned red. As the blood color increased, my leg gradually subsided, and finally the figurine's lower leg turned blood red.And my legs gradually became conscious, and they were no longer cold.

The master explained: "The figurine lay flat in the blood coffin, and that place should be the cathode nearby, but you picked up the figurine, which destroyed the direction of the cathode, which caused the figurine to have insufficient yin energy and could not control it. Red blood, causing obscenity, invades your body."

Master walked in front of the ancient corpse, stretched out his hand to lift the red cloth from under his feet, and pointed to the calf of the ancient corpse: "Come here and touch it." I heard this and walked up to me, and stretched out my hand to touch it.The feeling of tentacles is cold and stiff, like a rock, far less soft than the upper body.

Before I could ask, the master went on to say: "Although I don't have a complete understanding of the whole incident, I should have a general idea of ​​the red blood transfer soul method. I don't know how they got this zombie. It should have been They discovered and subdued the zombies, but in order to know more secrets from the zombies, they adopted the red blood soul transfer method, trying to renew the zombie's soul. After renewing the soul, the zombie's previous memories can be recalled. This figurine can Absorb the yin blood of hundreds of ghosts into one body, and then convert the yin blood into red blood. When all the red blood is transferred into the zombie's body, the soul transfer will be successful, and the zombie will be completely resurrected. Now it seems that this matter has Most of the success, at this time the zombie is barely restrained by the talisman paper."

I had an idea, and said to Master: "Then we can also use red blood to move the soul, revive him, and then get what we want to know from him."

The master shook his head: "I only read the book Master gave me about this red blood transfer soul method, but it only introduced the function of this method, and the specific link of casting the method was destroyed by the master. Because this method is too vicious , All ghosts who have been sucked by human figurines will gradually lose their souls and disappear in the three realms and six realms, and cannot be reborn."

I couldn't help asking: "Then who is this spellcaster? Since he knows this kind of spell, it must be someone from Xuan Ming."

The master's voice was low: "What is supposed to come will eventually come. This is cause and effect, and it is also an evil fate. Xiaosan, it is time for us to untie the knot in our hearts."

"What, it was Xiao San who did it?" I was a little surprised.

Master nodded, judging from the way he acted and the method of casting spells, I'm sure it was definitely him.

I pointed to the zombie: "Then what are we going to do with him?"

The master said: "I can vaguely figure out how to transfer the soul of the red blood. I can try it. What's more, the process of collecting Yin blood is omitted now, and the steps are much simpler. But I can't revive him now. This kind of zombie Even if he is resurrected, he has no thinking, no emotion, no memory. Once he escapes, it will be extremely harmful. Unless we can find his soul."

"Soul? What is that?"

Master explained: "The reason why zombies are different from ghosts is that when a person dies, the soul fails to escape from the body. When the human soul is sealed in the body, it will be transformed into a medium after a period of time. This medium is the soul. , the spirit will preserve all the memories and feelings of the previous life. The spirit is spiritual and can move freely. He will not stay in the body for a long time, but will come out when the time is right, but he will not be too far away from the body, otherwise He himself will not survive. The main body and the soul are interdependent. Therefore, wherever a zombie is found, his soul will be found nearby. Only with the cooperation of the soul can we find many things we want through the memory of this zombie. Things to know. And we have his body, I believe that the soul will appear nearby soon."

I was fascinated by what I heard, and couldn't help admiring: "Master, it's really uplifting to follow you."

In order to show that he was very knowledgeable, the master stretched out his hand to stroke the beard that did not exist, and said to me: "Tonight I will let you raise your posture again, and our anti-ghost team will all be dispatched to explore Xiagou Village."

I was taken aback: "Ah? No, why don't you go?"

Master nodded: "Yesterday we entered the mass grave, I have a strong premonition that we will find something in Xiagou Village."

I had no choice but to agree: "Then I will go back to class during the day."

Master said: "Alright, after school in the afternoon, you should first ask the village head about something, that is, 23 years ago, when Xiagou Village suddenly became a mass grave, there were people in Shanggou Village who had not returned from Xiagou Village at that time. That is to say, there is no news of anyone who suddenly disappeared in Xiagou Village. If possible, you can ask their family members about the specific situation. I think it may be useful. After you have inquired, you and Mu Stick will take Shang Wei Come here and find me together."

I agreed, and seeing that the time was almost up, I walked to the school.

One day of teaching was intense and busy. Since I started the class, Ning Xiaoyue came to listen to my class whenever she had nothing to do, and told me that she would like to come back here to teach after graduation.And whenever I step on the podium, I will forget all my distracting thoughts, and I have thought more than once that if possible, I would like to stay here for the rest of my life to preach and teach.

After school in the afternoon, I went straight to the village chief's house and asked about what Master had explained.After careful recollection, the village head provided three people, and among them was Ning Xiaoyue's father, Ning Wukui.

In the end, I weighed and compared, and decided to ask Aunt Ning about Ning Wukui.When I arrived at the canteen, I happened to catch up with the two of them having dinner. Aunt Ning warmly invited me to eat together. I thought that I would have to eat the unpalatable food made of wooden sticks when I went back, so I resolutely took it from Xiaoyue and handed it over. The rice bowl, stuffy head to eat.When I was about to eat and raised my head, I found that the two of them were looking at me. Xiaoyue covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes became crescent moons again.

Seeing my virtue, Aunt Ning couldn't stop laughing, and quickly said: "Don't worry, eat slowly, there is still food."

I burped: "Uh~~, what's inside, Aunt Ning, no~uh~ use it, I~uh~ I'm full."

Xiaoyue smiled and handed me a glass of water. I raised my neck and drank it, feeling much more comfortable.I think it's better not to let Xiaoyue know what I want to ask. I smiled and said to Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, go to the front room to look at the store. I can chat with Aunt Ning." He was obedient to my words, and this time was no exception, but he gave me a suspicious look when he was leaving.

I followed and closed the door.Seeing that I was acting so mysteriously, Aunt Ning also looked at me suspiciously.

I sat across from Aunt Ning and said softly, "Aunt Ning, I want to ask you something about Ning Wukui and Uncle Ning." Unexpectedly, when Aunt Ning heard this, she suddenly got up, stretched out her hands and grabbed me, her eyes closed. Staring straight at me: "What are you asking him for? Have you heard from him?"

I quickly explained: "No, Aunt Ning, I was investigating the Xiagou Village with my master recently, mainly because I wanted to know more about the situation. I heard that Uncle Ning happened to be in Xiagou Village at the time, so I came to ask you about it. "

Seeing that she had lost her composure, Aunt Ning quickly let go of her hands, sat back down again, and meditated for a long time, as if she was remembering.After a while, he covered his face with his hands, and slowly told the story of the year: "My natal family is from Xiagou Village. At that time, I was pregnant with Xiaoyue in my stomach, and I couldn't move around. Your Uncle Ning rode a tricycle that was loaded with goods to go to Xiagou Village. Gocun picked up my mother and wanted her to serve me. He left at noon, but he hadn’t come back at night. I thought he had stayed there overnight, so I didn’t care. He still didn’t come back the next day. At that time, people in the village said that the cave to Xiagou Village was sealed, and then I heard that someone climbed over the mountain and saw a grave, and I never, never saw Xiaoyue's father again." Said, Aunt Ning covered her nose and sobbed softly.

I then asked: "Then, are there any characteristics of Uncle Ning's body?"

Aunt Ning said: "Yes, the little finger of his left hand was broken. He used to have a problem with gambling. Since I was pregnant with Xiaoyue, he has regretted it. In order to make up his mind to quit gambling, he chopped it off with a kitchen knife. .”

Seeing that what Aunt Ning said was no different from what the village chief said, I comforted Aunt Ning and said goodbye.

Back in the dormitory, I saw Stick. This guy slept until dawn, but he didn't realize that I went out to act last night.I briefly told him what happened last night, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth when he heard that so many bizarre things happened, and then he kept complaining that I didn't take him there, saying that I was not mean enough.

I said, "Then I'll take it with you tonight."

Wood Stick asked happily: "Are you still going tonight? When are you leaving?"

"No rush, let's call Shang Weimeng and meet up with Master at the back mountain." I replied.
