Chapter 50: Possession of the Undead
The tomb of Emperor Wu is buried deep underground, divided into three layers, the tomb is huge, the palace corridor is carved and painted, when stepping into the tomb, Xie Fangqing's heart actually rose an inexplicable sadness, with a sense of familiarity, as if he could feel the desolation and sorrow of Emperor Wu Xuan's death.
Xie Fangqing, who was standing in the tomb of Emperor Wu, inexplicably shed tears, tears flowed out of his eyes and crossed his cheeks, dripping down the tomb......
"Little girl, why are you crying?" Zhang Xiuxiu rubbed Xie Fangqing's little head and looked at her curiously.
Rubbing his head by Zhang Xiuxiu, Xie Fangqing was excited, and the inexplicable feeling subsided, and then touched his tear-wet cheeks, and replied in a low voice: "Master, I don't know why I cry and cry......"
Zhang Xiuxiu let out a sigh, didn't say anything, rubbed her little head, and led her to the grave keeper station stationed inside.
Many years later, when Xie Fangqing recovered the memory of her previous life, she understood why she felt sad and shed tears when she entered the tomb of Emperor Wu that day, and she also knew why Zhang Xiuxiu sighed.
The tomb keepers in the tomb of Emperor Wu are all retired soldiers of the Spirit Domain Army, and the soldiers in the Spirit Domain Army are all psychic, because everything in the tomb of Emperor Wu is a treasure with research value......
The arrival of the Yin and Yang envoy did not surprise them, the tomb keeper station is a brigade establishment, a small team of ten people, a squadron of 100 people, five squadrons for the brigade, the captain of the station is named Gao Tianzang, the person is very straightforward in the Spirit Domain Legion as a spirit officer before, the strength is good, so he is very familiar with the Onmyoji.
The Imperial Soul Officer is a person who is extremely familiar with demons and monsters, and he has long discovered the anomaly in the cemetery recently, and reported it as soon as possible.
Gao Tianzang welcomed Zhang Xiuxiu into the tent in the station, personally brought tea to Zhang Xiuxiu and Xie Fangqing, and then told about the anomalies he found in his investigation.
"The third squadron was on duty the night before yesterday, and the patrol at night was once every two hours, and that night the patrol found that someone had entered the cemetery and was seriously injured, this tomb robber is the strength of the seventh order of the psychic, after interrogation, this group of tomb robbers encountered an undead attack in the tomb, and he was the only one who escaped, and I immediately sent the squadron leader of the third team to personally lead the team to the seal." Gao Tianzang didn't hide anything, and told the story completely, Xie Fangqing listened very carefully, but Zhang Xiuxiu was not satisfied.
"Captain Gao, think about any of you carefully, there is an abnormal situation?" As soon as Zhang Xiuxiu asked, Gao Tianzang immediately pondered for a moment and said: "After the seal that night, I took a few good hands and went inside to check, but I didn't find the undead on the way back, Xiao He, the squadron leader of the first squadron, left the team on the way, we searched for half a year and didn't find it, but he returned to the station first, and I also used an exorcism spell on him, and I didn't find anything abnormal!" Gao Tianzang voiced the doubts in his heart.
Zhang Xiuxiu frowned when she heard what he said, stood up directly, and said directly to Gao Tianzang: "Take me to see him." When she said this, Gao Tianzang was stunned.
"The day before yesterday, he took leave and went back to his home in Ping'anfang, Yangluo City." Gao Tianzang replied.
Zhang Xiuxiu didn't ask any more questions and took Xie Fangqing out of the cemetery, and after getting into the carriage, Zhang Xiuxiu told the coachman the place and went straight to Ping'an Fang in Yangluo City.
"Master, what are we going to Ping'an Fang for?" Xie Fangqing hadn't figured it out yet, and the carriage was already galloping on the road to Ping'an Fang.
"If I guessed correctly, Xiao He must have been possessed by the undead, the statue of the military general left to me by Emperor Ji should be a clay sculpture of Da Zhou, which was broken and repaired by her and given to me, and the undead on Xiao He's body should be the heroic soul of the undead in this clay sculpture." Zhang Xiuxiu said solemnly, although she didn't know what the purpose of the emperor was, she was undoubtedly trapped in Xilin County and couldn't leave.
When the master and apprentice arrived at Ping'an Fang, they contacted the head catcher in the workshop, and soon with the assistance of the head catcher, Zhang Xiuxiu came to Xiao He's house.
Xiao He's family is in a good independent compound, everything is speculation, Zhang Xiuxiu asked the head catcher who came together to lead the way directly to the door, knocked on the vermilion gate, and there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock...... "No one came to open the door for a long time.
"Where did the concierge of the Xiao family go? Open the door. "The head catcher kept calling the door, but there was no response from inside.
Xiao He's house has been silent, the situation is a little wrong, Zhang Xiuxiu raised her foot, kicked the door open very violently, and when she walked into the yard, she saw the person lying on the ground, it was Xiao He's family slaves and family members, and after checking these people, they were fine, but they fell into the ghost realm and were lost by the ghost.
Zhang Xiuxiu pushed it away, and in the hall of the courtyard of the Xiao family, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, and the windows around were blocked by black cloth, and no trace of sunlight could shine in.
"Yin and Yang envoy, I will immediately send people over and seal off this place so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Qin Zhutou reported to Zhang Xiuxiu in a low voice.
Qin Zhutou should have experienced such a thing, and after seeing the people lying in the courtyard without knowing whether they were alive or dead, he immediately planned to arrange someone to block this place.
Zhang Xiuxiu nodded in agreement, she pulled Xie Fangqing and walked in directly, checking one house by one, and when she came to the room of the master bedroom, she pushed open the bedroom door!
The moment the bedroom door was pushed open, Xie Fangqing saw a war knife cut out directly, directly cutting off Zhang Xiuxiu's head.
This scene happened too fast, Zhang Xiuxiu didn't expect it, she was startled, she dodged out of the room, and then it was opened again, Xie Fangqing saw a middle-aged man standing at the door of the room with a height of one meter seven or eight, with a tall figure and the whole person shrouded in black armor, holding a rusty five-foot combat knife in both hands.
This middle-aged man should be Xiao He, and the war knife in his hand is the standard long knife of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Did you notice what he looked like?" At this time, Zhang Xiuxiu whispered to Xie Fangqing, she held a few ghost suppression talismans in her hand, and did not let Xie Fangqing leave, looking very calm.
After Zhang Xiuxiu's reminder, Xie Fangqing noticed that Xiao He's face was now extremely pale, his eyes were blank, and the whole person seemed to be in a coma, but his body seemed to be controlled by someone and could react in various ways.
He was obviously possessed by the undead and seized all the control of the body, this is the so-called ghost upper body, there are generally two situations, divided into active and passive, active is the owner of the body himself gives up control of the body and lets the ghost possess.
The other is passive, which is that the ghost forcibly suppresses the soul possession of the body owner, which has damage to the soul and leads to the dissipation of the spirit and the exhaustion of yang energy, and finally the ghost will completely occupy the body, because the ghost does not eat or drink, the human body will eventually die due to organ failure, and after death, it will become a yin ghost and be controlled by the possessed ghost to become its minions.
This Xiao He is obviously possessed by an extremely powerful ghost, and even the soldiers of the Spirit Domain Army are possessed, this ghost thing cannot be underestimated.
"Master, how are we going to save him!" Xie Fangqing asked in a low voice, Xiao He's body still has yang energy, obviously it has not been completely occupied, and there are still rescues, so the master and apprentice can't use violent suppression methods, and they can't hurt Xiao He's body, which restricts them from only driving the ghosts away from his body first.
