Chapter 12: Black-Haired Zombies
"Song Chen, you take some of your men now, and stay around the barren forest and don't let anyone enter." Xiao also said.
"Yes"
"These two corpses tied them up, and they watched at night to calculate the strength of the things in the barren forest." Xiao also had a calm face, his dark eyes revealed a little mystery, and the corners of his mouth continued with a smile.
"Yes"
Xiao also left after explaining, leaving Li Yu and Song Chen to look at each other, many years of tacit understanding made the two know what the other party was thinking without saying anything, his boss Xiao rarely showed this kind of expression, but every time he showed this kind of expression, something must happen, I don't know what their Xiao boss is holding back.
(Xiao Ye: I am such an image in your minds?) οΌ
Evening Lu Mansion
In the backyard of the Lu Mansion, a girl dressed in a green shirt sat in the pavilion near the pond, her long black hair like a waterfall was scattered on her back, and the top of her head was simply tied in a bun with a wooden hairpin, and there was a wooden seven-stringed guqin in front of the girl, and her slender jade fingers were plucked on the strings, playing a nice tone, flowing water, this woman was Lu Jian.
"Failed again," Lu Jian sighed, stopped playing, picked up the guqin and walked towards his courtyard. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said to a big tree in the courtyard:
"It's all here, don't you show up yet?"
The people behind the tree had a pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be smiling, and then a tall and straight man, wearing a black Dali Temple official uniform, and a ink-colored jade pendant tied around his waist walked out from behind the tree.
"I don't know what happened when Lord Xiao climbed over the wall and entered my Lu Mansion?"
"I came to you for something" After saying this, Xiao also seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said apologetically with an apologetic face, "I also feel that it is a little abrupt to come in over the wall, it seems that I should go and say hello to Lord Lu" After speaking, Xiao also turned around and prepared to leave.
"Come back"
Lu Jian hurriedly stopped him, Xiao also paused, the corners of his mouth hooked up an evil smile, then returned to normal, turned to look at Lu Jian.
Lu Jian rolled his eyes inwardly, would he only do this trick. "Lord Xiao can't have encountered some special case and needs my help, right?"
"I did come across a tricky case," Xiao also said, "Two corpses were found in the barren forest on the edge of the city, and the corpses are now stiff and purple, showing signs of corpse transformation, and have been trapped in Dali Temple."
Lu Jian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can help, but I never make a loss-making deal."
"If you raise the price, I'll double it," Xiao said without thinking.
Lu Jianfeng's eyes were slightly small, and he said with a smile on his face, "Okay, I'll go to your place to check the bitten corpse first, and then set off early tomorrow morning to find zombies." "Zombies are very fierce at night, and the forest is very dark, it is really not suitable to go now, during the day, zombies are generally resting, and now it is summer when the sun is strong and the sun is heavy, and it is much easier to find.
"Okay, I'll pick you up when the time comes"
After the two discussed, Xiao also returned the same way (over the wall), Lu Jian returned to his bedroom, and put the guy who should be brought to deal with zombies into the newly washed and dried cloth bag today, and the body suddenly paused after the guy put the bag on the cabinet just after loading.
Hey, she forgot to ask Xiao to buy some glutinous rice for tomorrow, and now it's dark, so she had to ask her family to go to a nearby rice shop to buy a big bag of glutinous rice and put it in the bedroom.
Nighttime
Lu Jian changed into black plain clothes, carried a cloth bag, and carried a large bag of glutinous rice in her hand, and came to the courtyard where she saw Xiao Ye during the day, Lu Jian walked to the wall and threw the glutinous rice bag on the wall, and then she turned over with great agility and skill, and just saw Xiao Ye, who was wearing black clothes and leaning against the wall with her hands on her chest, looking at her with a smile outside the wall.
"Xiao also, go on." After Lu Jian finished speaking, she directly threw the big bag of glutinous rice to Xiao Ye, and then she jumped off the wall, but who knew that the big bag of glutinous rice that was originally thrown to Xiao Ye actually fell directly to the ground, and she fell into Xiao Ye's arms.
Lu Jian raised his head, and the handsome face of an adult came into view directly, and several strands of his long hair that were originally scattered on his back hung down his shoulders on his chest, and by the moonlight, Lu Jian vaguely saw that Xiao Ye's cheeks and earlobes were a little inexplicably red.
At this time, she could feel a few black lines on her forehead, "I asked you to pick up glutinous rice."
"Yes, I thought you asked me to catch you" Xiao Ye said with a smile on his lips and a smile.
Lu Jian said that she didn't want to continue talking to this fool, and then she jumped off Xiao Ye, walked a few steps and picked up the glutinous rice bag that was smashed on the ground, and after careful inspection, she was relieved to find that the glutinous rice bag was intact.
"Let's go"
Nearly half an hour later, the two of them hurried to the Dali Temple, and Xiao also took Lu Jian to the door of a room, and when there was still a distance of ten meters, he could hear the roar in the house.
Xiao also pushed open the door, and the two zombies with white hair were tied to the pillar by a bloodstained iron chain, and the two zombies had yellow charms on their foreheads, although they were pasted with yellow charms, the zombies could still make sounds, and their bodies could twist slightly. There are a lot of glutinous rice scattered around the zombies, and there are also many yellow charms on the walls.
At the edge of the room, there was a tall man dressed in the official uniform of Dali Temple, Li Yu saw Xiao who pushed the door in and stepped forward to salute, and then looked at Lu Jian, and said with a puzzled face, "Lord Xiao, who is this?" β
Xiao also looked at Lu Jian, as if he wanted her to introduce herself.
"Next, the Yin Recruiter Lu Jian" Their Lu family will basically give birth to a child born with yin eyes in every generation, even if one generation does not give birth to a child with yin eyes, then the next generation of the child will definitely give birth. Born with yin eyes, it is natural to see things that ordinary people can't see from an early age. Their Lu family doesn't just know how to recruit yin. The reason why they are called Yin Summoners is because they have a guqin that has been passed down for thousands of years at home, and the guqin is very mysterious, and only the inheritors of each generation of their Lu family can play the sound. The sound of the guqin can soothe the soul, and depending on the player's ability, it can also summon nearby ghosts and evil spirits to be sent by them.
The greater the player's ability, the wider the range of the strokes, and conversely, the weaker the player's ability, the smaller the range of the strokes.
"Yin Recruiter?" Li Yu seemed to be even more puzzled, is there such a profession as a Yin Recruiter in the industry? Li Yu looked at Xiao Ye, but saw that Xiao Ye had a calm face, without the slightest doubt.
Lu Jian walked up to the white-haired zombie and tore off the talisman on the zombie's head, and the zombie struggled instantly. Li Yu on the side was frightened, and was about to stop it, but he saw Lu Jian take out two new yellow talismans from his bag and paste them, the zombie stopped moving for an instant, and the roaring sound stopped abruptly.
Li Yu looked at Lu Jian again, this time his expression was no longer puzzled but with a little admiration.
"Big brother, did you draw this talisman?" Lu Jian looked at Li Yu on the side and said.
"Well, I painted it, my ancestor knows some skills in chasing corpses, so he also knows a little about these, but it's not as good as the talisman drawn by the girl," Li Yu said modestly.
Lu Jian looked down at the talisman drawn by Li Yu and said, "Big brother, your talisman is very good, if the talisman paper and cinnabar are used better, it will definitely be no problem to suppress these two zombies." β
"Ah, it turned out that the rune paper cinnabar came out, I said I couldn't draw it wrong, thank you girl for your advice" Li Yu smiled and thanked Lu Jian.
"Big brother is polite," Lu Jian finished speaking, and looked at the corpse again, "How long have these two zombies been dead?" β
"About a day and a half," Xiao also replied.
"It only took a day and a half to become a white-haired zombie, and the things in the forest are indeed not simple." Lu Jian said with a calm face: "The zombie that bites these two white-haired zombies is expected to be at least the black zombie level."
Hearing Lu Jian say the black zombie level, Li Yu's face immediately became gloomy, what is the concept of black zombie, copper skin and iron bones, infinite strength, and even water and fire are invulnerable if it is more powerful.
If ordinary zombies want to upgrade to black zombies, they won't be able to do it in a hundred years.
Therefore, the zombie in this barren forest is very likely to be a hundred-year-old zombie.
