Chapter 1: The Corpse Turmoil
In mid-May 1938, although under the coercion of the Japanese army, the overall situation in northern Jiangsu was precarious.
But Wangjiazhuang in Pei County still seems peaceful and quiet.
Since Wang Jin'an, a squire from Wangjiazhuang, funded the formation of a guard team more than ten years ago to assist the police in exterminating several groups of robbers in the vicinity.
The area around Wangjiazhuang has been quiet for more than ten years.
But Wang Jinan was worried at this time.
"There was another corpse mutation last night!"
Wang Jinan sighed, "Jin Bao, if it weren't for you, we would be in trouble." ”
The man standing next to Wang Jinan is Wang Jinbao.
Wang Jinbao went out to learn martial arts more than 20 years ago, and returned to his hometown in recent years, but his home has long been dilapidated and has no place to live.
At first, Wang Jin'an was in Wang Jinbao's same clan as him, so he arranged for Wang Jinbao to watch the house in his yard.
didn't expect this Wang Jinbao to have a stunt.
Two years ago, when the first corpse mutiny occurred here, it was Wang Jinbao who rescued Wang Jin'an when he was in danger.
Later, there were several incidents of corpses turning into zombies and hurting people, all thanks to Wang Jinbao's action.
However, Wang Jinan felt that such a thing as corpse transformation was too unbelievable, and the stakes were very high.
suppressed the matter, and except for a few people involved, no one knew about it.
In the living room...
"Tianhua, your aunt's eldest sister-in-law's wife is gone, tomorrow your father can't go if he has something, you go for your father." Wang Tianhua's mother put down the needlework in her hand and admonished.
"Okay, mother! I know! Is it the one from Li Dazhuang? Wang Tianhua casually picked up a fruit and stuffed it in his mouth and asked.
"Yes." The Queen Mother continued to instruct Wang Tianhua.
"Catch up with Ming'er, you bring a basket of eggs to salute, and tomorrow your Uncle Wang and you will go quickly. But don't be greedy and forget about it! ”
"Got it, mother!" Wang Tianhua muttered impatiently.
The next day was a good day, the weather was clear and the wind was smooth.
Wang Jinbao drove the cart pulled by a mule.
Wang Tianhua held a piece of grass in his mouth, looked at the blue sky and lay quietly on the cart.
The mule cart swayed for almost an hour, and finally arrived at Li Dazhuang, and the distant relative who was going to mourn was naturally surnamed Li.
Before he reached the entrance of the village, he heard the suona orchestra blowing and beating, and Wang Tianhua sat up and visited the village as soon as he heard this.
This is a distant relative, not even a relative, so Wang Tianhua has never been here, nor has he seen this family, so he is naturally very curious.
What's more, along the way, he was still thinking about how to call the dead here.
After thinking about it all the way, he really couldn't think of it, so Wang Jinbao said that the relationship was too far, and when he arrived, he would just call his grandfather.
Li Dazhuang is also a big villager, although he heard the sound of drums.
But it was only after turning around and asking for directions that I found my home.
After entering the mourning hall, Wang Tianhua was the last in the crowd, and the people in front of him wailed, and he also pretended.
The people in the mourning hall were either busy crying or socializing with the lord's family, and Wang Tianhua didn't dare to look at the corpse.
So he looked up occasionally and no one noticed him, which saved him a lot of trouble.
The funeral customs of Pei County are relatively simple, generally the relatives and friends of the deceased send off the body, and after the end of the condolences, the main family will invite everyone to eat, which is commonly known as eating a big feast.
After waiting for a full meal, under the arrangement of the "big guy".
"Big Guy Branch" is the common name of Peixian people for the people who preside over funerals or weddings in the village, and generally choose people with high prestige to serve as people.
A few strong laborers from the village carried the coffin, and the main family and their relatives and friends followed the coffin bearer to carry the deceased to the cemetery.
But the family didn't know where to learn the ritual, and they actually invited two Taoist priests to come, which is also considered "the eldest girl to sit in a sedan chair - the first time" for the people in the village.
Everyone was curious about what this Taoist priest was going to do!
Wang Tianhua has never seen a Taoist priest with his own eyes, let alone seen such a scene at anyone's funeral, and he also stood in the crowd to join in the fun.
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and it was obvious that everyone was full of curiosity about these two Taoist priests.
However, Wang Tianhua still heard some unkind comments about the master's family.
"You see how good their family is to the old man, and when they die, they make such a foreign goo, why did they go earlier!"
"Yanggugu" in Peixian dialect means "playing tricks and looking different".
"That's it! A few days ago, when this old man was still alive, I saw that his daughter-in-law was still being driven to the field to remove the weeds! ”
"Who's to say it isn't! Last month, this old man went to my house to beg for a bowl of rice because he was hungry! I saw that he was pitifully tight, so I gave the old man half a bowl of rice in his hand! Tell me, this person is not good to raise when he is alive, what is the use of waiting for people to die and then fulfill filial piety! ”
......
After Wang Tianhua heard these words, he was also a little disgusted with the Li family in his heart.
He lowered his head and whispered in Wang Jinbao's ear: "Uncle Wang, did you hear that?" This family is not filial! ”
Wang Jinbao looked back, patted Wang Tianhua's arm lightly, and said, "Just look at it, don't talk." ”
Wang Tianhua let out an expressionless "oh".
But Wang Tianhua saw that Uncle Wang's expression was very serious, and it seemed that Uncle Wang was very nervous.
But Wang Tianhua couldn't figure out why Uncle Wang was nervous.
"Uncle Wang!" Wang Tianhua attached to Wang Jinbao's ear again.
"Uncle Wang, are you okay? How do I think you're a little uncomfortable? Wang Tianhua asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm fine, there may be something wrong with this corpse!" Wang Jinbao doesn't speak, and when he speaks, he startles people.
Sure enough, when Wang Tianhua heard this, his hair trembled, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Uncle Wang, what are you talking about?" After hearing this, Wang Tianhua grabbed Wang Jinbao's arm with both hands and asked in surprise.
Wang Jinbao glanced back at Wang Tianhua again, obviously realizing that his words just now had scared Wang Tianhua.
comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's that this corpse may be transformed." But there will be no retribution on us, but the family may be unlucky. Wang Jinbao continued.
"Corpse... Zombie! Wang Tianhua asked in horror: "Is it the zombie that Ji Yun mentioned in "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang"?" ”
"Huh? Corpse? Almost! "Wang Jinbao hasn't read a book for a few years, so he doesn't know much about who Ji Yun Wang Tianhua is talking about, but he understands the zombies mentioned by Wang Tianhua.
"Zombie" originally did not refer to a jumping corpse that sucked human blood, but only a stiff corpse, and the saying that "zombie" was a blood-sucking jumping corpse probably began to circulate in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Ji Xiaolan recorded a passage describing zombies in "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang":
The white hair is all over the body, the eyes are red like dansha, the fingers are like curved hooks, the teeth are exposed and the lips are like sharp blades, kissing and shouting, and the nose is bloody.
And the zombies are also divided into several classes.
Specifically, they are classified as purple zombie, white zombie, black zombie, green zombie, hairy zombie, flying zombie, immortal bone, ambush corpse, wandering corpse and flying yaksha.
However, purple zombie only refers to a stiff corpse that has been infected with corpse poison and has the potential to become a jumping corpse.
It is only from the beginning of the white zombie that it really belongs to the category of jumping corpses.
Initially, zombies can only walk in the dark, but as zombies continue to suck human blood or absorb Lunar Spirits.
Their strength will gradually increase, and their level will continue to increase.
When they dodge the Five Thunderbolts of the Tribulation, they may turn into Flying Yakshas.
The Flying Yaksha is very powerful, not only is it not afraid of the sun, it can walk during the day, and it can even have the ability to fly.
In fact, the highest level of zombies is not the Flying Yaksha, but the Dry Fish.
But the drought is the ancestor of the zombie, and the folk also call it the female wolf, and it is the drought god around the Yellow Emperor.
The Drought Devil is only a legendary character, and there is only one, and ordinary zombies can only be refined to the level of flying yaksha at most due to the restrictions of their identity.
But the way of heaven is constant, and the three are missing one, and the road will not be completely blocked.
I've heard that a zombie that can defeat a marl can become a new mari, but that's just a legend, and no one has ever actually seen a marry, even a normal zombie.
However, at this time, it was an eventful autumn, the world was turbulent, and people's hearts were panicked, which was the time for the demon to be in turmoil, so there were a lot of strange things.
What will happen to Li Dazhuang is also reasonable.
Wang Jinbao told Wang Tianhua that the old man in the coffin would be corpsed, which means that the old man's corpse at this time had become purple and stiff!
When he first came, Wang Jinbao took the opportunity to say goodbye to the body of the deceased.
I saw that the corpse's face was purple, but Yin Tang was black, and the nails of his ten fingers were sharp and protruding, like an eagle's hook, and these symptoms were consistent with the appearance of purple stiffness.
Wang Jinbao told Wang Tianhua everything he saw.
After Wang Tianhua heard this, he wondered why Uncle Wang in front of him knew these things, and on the other hand, he was thinking about how to deal with this matter?
Do you want to tell the Li family the truth and let them avoid it?
Although Wang Tianhua is not ashamed of the character of their family, but human life is a matter of heaven, after all, it is still a relative who cannot be saved without seeing death.
Wang Tianhua was very hesitant about this, and asked in a low voice uneasily: "Uncle Wang, are you sure that this old man will become a zombie?" ”
"Sure!" Wang Jinbao did not hesitate at all.
"Civil engineering represents vitality, you see that the current coffin is erected on the stone slab and left empty without contact with the ground, the corpse lying in the coffin will not be okay for the time being, but once the coffin is in the ground, it is the time of the corpse."
"Ahh From ancient times to the present, everyone has been in a coffin after death, according to this saying, isn't it zombies everywhere? Wang Tianhua questioned Wang Jinbao's explanation.
"Of course it's not that simple!" Wang Jinbao continued.
"How can it be so easy to change the corpse, if you want to succeed, you have to pay attention to the right time, place and people, this time is every time the world is in chaos, demons will be born, and the reason for this can probably only be explained by the imbalance of the Heavenly Dao."
"And this geographical advantage is what I said about the germination of civil engineering, and the spring of all things, but this is not enough, the most important thing to become a zombie is people, but this person and man are man-made disasters."
"If a person lives with a breath, this is a good thing, but if a person dies and there is still sullen in his heart, there is a big one. Trouble. ”
"At worst, the deceased will not be blind to death, which will only affect the deceased's own reincarnation, and at worst, the corpse of the deceased will harm the world, and the scope of this influence will be large! Not only the dead are uneasy, but the living are also terrified all day long! ”
