Of course, these are all legends, and legends cannot be used as facts, there will be different versions of the same legend, and these versions are also different, but they all show that the legendary things once existed.

It may be just human imagination, but most of them are things that exist.

Vampires and zombies are mostly similar, but they are a little different, and perhaps they are the same species.

It's just that after being invented and exaggerated, it will become different.

Wang Feng remembered that "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" divided the reasons why the corpse became a zombie into two parts: the mutation of the new corpse and the long-term non-decay of the burial. The corpse is the place where the corpse is raised. The pH of the soil is very unbalanced, not suitable for the growth of organic matter, so it will not breed ants and bacteria, even if the corpse is buried for more than 100 years, the muscle hair will not rot, and some data show that the hair and nails of the corpse will continue to grow. This is also said in Feng Shui.

It is rumored that the Taoist has the method of refining the form of Taiyin, the corpse is buried for hundreds of years, and it will be resurrected at the end of the period, the newly dead corpse is possessed by evil things or evil energy, the corpse absorbs the yang energy, and the corpse changes by the anger of the person, and when the person dies, the soul is scattered and stagnant.

Yuan Mei's "Zi Bu Silent": The soul of a person is good and evil, the soul of a person is stupid, and the soul dominates the human body, and when the soul leaves the human body, it will become a demon zombie.

Being in the Five Elements is not outside the Six Realms, and vampires are almost the same, not humans, not gods, and not so-called devils.

Blood has always been considered a symbol of vitality. In the process of long-term life, people understand that blood determines the continuation of life, and that large amounts of blood loss will lead to death.

In the days before the advent of Christianity, blood was directly associated with the underworld. In Greek mythology, Empusa, the lady-in-waiting of Heate, the god of ghosts, and Lamia, who avenged her son. In addition, Adam's first wife, the banshee Lilith, also became a bloodthirsty ghost king after being abandoned by Adam.

They were compared to what we now call traditional vampires, and they should be xenomorph gods, not vampire-like zombies.

However, it can be seen that human beings have had various imaginations and legends about blood-related spirits from a long time ago.

Human beings have invented countless stories in their imaginations about spirits who have a strong thirst for blood and even live on blood, and such stories have been going on for thousands of years

。

Vampires were born under the nurture of European civilization, and the Jewish Christian tradition that prevailed in Europe was the biggest hotbed that directly led to the emergence and spread of vampire superstition.

The Hebrews' worship and fear of blood developed an unbearable complex, on the one hand, blood as a symbol of soul and life, and on the other hand, they regarded blood as an ominous sign of disaster. Just as Eve, who was tempted by the serpent, her descendants had menstruation, which was considered an unclean wound, so Christianity believed that blood also represented sin.

I say to the children of Israel, "You shall not eat the blood of any living creature, for that is their life, or you will be punished!" (The Law of Moses, Old Testament, Leviticus)

In the medieval Christian world, blood was still endowed with supernatural powers, and at the same time it was aided and rendered by ghost theology, so the vampire superstition officially appeared - this superstition itself was very incendiary to Christianity, and even some wizards and doctors at the time believed that blood had the function of atonement, and at the same time, out of the worship of the Virgin Mary, they prescribed the pure blood of the virgin as the best medicine to treat and delay aging.

The most important role of blood in the human body is nourishment, and the nutrients and oxygen it carries are the material basis for the life activities of various tissues and organs of the human body.

It is the best carrier to transmit the efficacy of qi to all organs of the body, so in traditional Chinese medicine, it is also called "blood is the mother of qi", and it is believed that "blood can carry qi". If the blood is lost or does not function properly, it can cause all kinds of discomfort.

There are many ways to fight vampires, such as dismemberment, burning, decapitation, sprinkling holy water, putting garlic in the mouth, nailing a stake into the mouth, etc., and there are legends that verbena is the most useful plant against vampires.

Verbena is a flower considered sacred and is often used to decorate altars on religious consciousness. In the past, it was believed that illness was cursed by witches, and verbena was often placed in front of the patient's window to produce a curse, but in ancient Europe, it was considered a sacred herb and was given a symbol of peace in religious consciousness.

Wang Feng only felt dizzy when he saw it, and his brain hurt for a while.

He sighed and got up, ready to leave the church to join the two on the boat, but the moment he left the room, it was already dark.

When I came to my senses, I realized that I was in the library

Stayed for a day.

"I've been reading a book for so long...... I don't know what happened to the two of them. ”

Wang Feng rubbed his temples.

There were few pedestrians on the road, and the doors of the surrounding houses were kept closed, and the street lights kept flashing there for some reason.

The streets look particularly eerie.

A gust of wind made Wang Feng's hairs stand up directly.

"Are you still here? Didn't you tell you to be a little more careful at night? ”

Ruth walked over from the side, and she was now wearing a black bodysuit that was completely different from what she wore during the day, giving her a heroic look.

"I took a bit long to read a book and forgot the time......"

"What books are you reading?"

"A lot...... My name is Wang Feng......"

Wang Feng stretched out his hand: "I'm very interested in the vampires you said. Can you tell me what you know......"

Ruth raised her eyebrows and completely misunderstood what Wang Feng meant: "I refuse...... Who knows if you're a drunkard and don't mean to drink? ”

"Huh?"

Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, and came over to quickly explain: "I really didn't mean that, I just wanted to help you." ”

"Simple...... Do me a favor? Ruth snorted coldly: "That's it, you still don't mean that...... I'm not related to you, why should you help me? ”

Wang Feng was a little embarrassed for a while, only to feel that the more he depicted, the darker and darker he became.

"Should you? It's a vampire! ”

Ruth pulled out a dagger from her back.

"It's not...... You trust me...... I just saw that you looked like my friend, so I just wanted to help, and nothing else. ”

"Looks like your friend...... This method of chasing girls is no longer practical......"

Ruth stopped and put the dagger away, and walked into the library, "I don't want you to get involved in this, it's too dangerous after all...... I don't want to carry a drag bottle......"

Wang Feng hurriedly followed: "I'm not dragging oil bottles, okay!" ”
