"Have you ever heard of zombies?"

As soon as Yuan Jiyue's words came out, everyone stopped moving.

The people in this room are very new to the term zombies, and few people in their lives will mention zombies for no reason. Only when I was very young, I heard the old people in my family talk about it, and I listened to it as a story, and I almost forgot it all these years. I don't know what Yuan Jiyue means when she mentions zombies, they look at each other.

Dong Manman had never heard of this word, he still scooped the soup in the spoon, did not put it in his mouth, and looked up ignorantly and waited to listen to them.

Dong Yuanyuan hesitated and replied: "When I was a child, I heard a rumor that when a black cat jumped over the coffin, the corpse would open its eyes, crawl out of the coffin and walk around, calling it a zombie." Just close their eyes gently and put them back. ”

The implication is that the zombies he learned are not harmful, unlike the monster that appeared in the city.

What he said was indeed wrong, and Yuan Jiyue corrected: "The version I heard is different from what you have heard, what you said is more like a deception." I've read in Shimen's books that the word zombie first appeared a thousand years ago, and it really meant that they were moving corpses, they gnaw at humans like wild beasts, they live by sucking blood, they attack the surrounding households, and then they are exterminated by the monks. ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh: "Since then, it hasn't appeared for thousands of years, and this sudden appearance really shocked my fellow disciples." ”

Liu Boqi said: "What I heard is different from what you said. How did such a strange thing come to be? ”

"There are so many versions that have been circulating for thousands of years. It's just how exactly it came to be ... I don't know. ”

"The immortal master doesn't even know?"

Dong Yuanyuan asked, "Is there no record in the book?" ”

"There are very few records in the book, only that they are nocturnal and nocturnal, and have a strong animal nature, once they target a prey, they will never stop if they don't bite to death. No more detailed is not. Yuan Jiyue gave a negative answer again, if she couldn't tell if that thing was a demon, a demon, a ghost, or a monster, which world it belonged to, she wouldn't have called it a monster with people.

"I've heard another version." Dong Yuanyuan listened to her quietly for a long time, thought about it in his heart, and said, "Some people say that the deceased is unwilling to reincarnate and has returned to his soul." The reason why they eat blood is because those who come back from the dead cannot tolerate heaven and earth, and can no longer eat whole grains. ”

"It's hard to say." Yuan Jiyue did not directly deny it. She was very curious when she saw the page about zombies in the book, and she had made countless guesses, including the resurrection of the dead, but no matter how it was, it was just a guess, and there was no chance to confirm it, "What is certain is that it is a zombie who attacked people this time." As far as I know, only this species feeds on human blood. ”

"Maybe the immortal master will be able to solve this mystery this time." Dong Yuanyuan's brows furrowed, and there was no look of fear on his face, "I just said that they will not give up until they achieve their goal, since they have set their sights on me, then they will definitely come again, and the immortal master can stay in the mansion for two days." Hearing that the realm of the Immortal Master is already so high, I am relieved. ”

"I'll do my best."

Yuan Jiyue nodded, picked up the soup with everyone, took a dish with chopsticks closest to her and put it into her mouth, and looked at his neck as if she was inadvertent.

Just now, when she mentioned the word "zombie" for the first time, Dong Yuanyuan subconsciously touched her neck and lifted her collar up, which was also his action that made her notice something inappropriate.

His collar was already high enough to cover half of his neck, but when he turned his head to ask her a question, the soft collar sunk in, revealing a piece of skin that had been hidden inside, and he probably realized this and immediately covered it again, and he was careful not to make too much movement in the conversation that followed.

But she still saw that there was a white mark on his neck, which was a scar.

A long, intermittent, crooked, like a fingernail pinched out, and like... Teeth bite out.

The appearance of Master Chen's corpse involuntarily appeared in her mind, and she thought that the location of Master Chen's bite was the same as his scar.

Is she thinking too much?

suppressed the deeper and deeper doubts in my heart, chatted with them for a long time, and finished the meal.

The room in Dong's mansion has always been cleaned, and the guest room does not need to be cleaned up temporarily, so as soon as she got off the table, she arranged a room for Yuan Jiyue and asked her to go back to rest first. Although it should be dawn in two hours, no one slept this night, except for Dong Yuanyuan... They can catch up on sleep at this time, and there will be another day to pass tomorrow.

There is an immortal master sitting at home, thinking about it, it is more effective than two stone lions, and Uncle Liu sleeps very reassuringly. Yuan Jiyue didn't sleep after being brought to the room, she saw Dong Manman pull Dong Yuanyuan's sleeve in a daze after she was full, and was coaxed back by Dong Yuanyuan in person.

She has to wait for Dong Yuanyuan to go back.

Dong Yuanyuan's way back will pass by her room.

When a black shadow passed by the door, she didn't act rashly, calculated the time, and estimated that Dong Yuanyuan had returned to her room at this time, so she pushed the door out and stepped into Dong Yuanyuan's courtyard, and saw that the bedroom was very dark and there was no wax through the moon door. She crept over to the window and pushed it open a slit, her eyes struggling to adjust to the darkness and peering through the gap to see inside the room.

The bed was placed by the window, and there was a gauze tent covering the people on the bed who couldn't see clearly, but a pair of shoes were placed next to the bed, indicating that Dong Yuanyuan was asleep. His body is really not good, and he can't sleep enough for as long as he can't sleep.

Closing the window, she pushed open the main door this time and walked into Dong Yuanyuan's room. She walked lightly, gently pulling open the bed tent. In the gauze tent, Dong Yuanyuan's hair crown had been taken off, and he was tired in the quilt, breathing lightly and falling asleep.

To prevent him from waking up suddenly, Yuan Jiyue raised his hand and a spell slapped into his head, so he relieved himself to carry the mana in the palm of his hand, and ignited a faint light, close to his neck, illuminating the scar.

What a ring of tooth marks on his neck!

He had been bitten, and the bite had scarred and peeled off, leaving only an indelible mark, which proved that he had been in contact with the zombies, and that the zombies had shown mercy to him, otherwise he would not have been lying in peace now. Judging by the healing of the wound, he was bitten for more than three months.

She stabilized her mind, calmed down and pressed her palm to the center of his eyebrows, crossed her mana into circulation, and closed her eyes to feel... She looked at Dong Yuanyuan's face before, although it was faintly decadent, but it was still bloody, it wouldn't be a zombie, and the flute didn't move to show that he wasn't a demon, she didn't doubt this, as for anything else... The ethereal light wrapped around the black qi diffused from Dong Yuanyuan's body, forming a circle and gradually disappearing.

It is a very strong corpse gas, and zombies are also corpses, and there will naturally be corpse gas on their bodies.

It is difficult for corpse qi to contaminate a living person, if he only touched it once a few months ago, he will not be contaminated with the smell, unless he has been in frequent contact with zombies recently, it will leave such a strong corpse qi.

Suddenly, her hands and feet were cold.

All kinds of clues were connected in her mind.

What was originally a ridiculous speculation grew wildly.

On the way to find Dong Manman, whether it was when Master Chen was killed, Priest Chen bumped into help, or Priest Chen happened to encounter a zombie and fought, Master Chen saw that he helped, and in the end, the two of them were defeated and ended up with death, these are not important, the important thing is that a master of martial arts and a strong and healthy martial arts master, zombies are not afraid, when a zombie wants to kill a helpless patient, he is hit by an old man, will he run away?

Of course not, it's so fast it should bite both of them to death, just like it did before. But it didn't, and it didn't even hurt anyone in the Dong Mansion and ran away.

Because of fear, they will destroy the treasure to ward off evil spirits, and because they are afraid, it will not be able to approach at all, and only people who are not afraid of treasures can do it on their behalf.

It has a helper.

Dong Yuanyuan said at the banquet that zombies are the souls of the dead...... Suppose the zombie was someone he knew before he was alive, he found it and left it, and tried to tame it, and was accidentally bitten in the process of taming, but apparently in the end he managed to suppress the zombie's wildness, so he was still alive, so the zombie didn't hurt the people in his house that night. He didn't let Uncle Liu say that he was not big-hearted, he was afraid that the zombies would be exposed, but he didn't expect Uncle Liu to call back Dong Manman, who was a monster, from him because he was worried, so forget it, the key is to follow her.

He was afraid that she would find out, and he was afraid that she would be suspicious and investigate deeply, and his heart was struggling, and his attitude would change.

The man was raising corpses.

It was also him who ruined his own feng shui, he didn't just raise corpses, I'm afraid... He also kept the body in his own home, in this huge mansion.

Her poor nephew didn't think that Dong Yuanyuan would be killed, but found some clues and suspected Dong Yuanyuan, so he knocked on the side of the people around him.

This is the most plausible speculation at the moment.

She stood up and stood straight beside the bed, shook the hairpin flower out of her sleeve, and rubbed it silently on her fingertips.

What is the relationship between female zombies and Dong Yuanyuan? Let him raise it so desperately, despite the fact that it is already a bloodthirsty monster, and there is a lot of innocent blood in its mouth.

Before his death, Dong Yuanyuan must have been a very important person, so that he would not be able to let go after death.

But since she was kept in the house, it was better than letting her look for it aimlessly.

Exiting Dong Yuanyuan's room, she decided to get a good night's sleep.

Dong Yuanyuan has the courage to raise corpses, and he has succeeded, so he doesn't need her protection. When she woke up from this sleep, she also learned the methods of her little master and nephew, and went to the side to investigate.

Since he is such an important person to Dong Yuanyuan, he must have had a lot of contact with him during his lifetime, and it is impossible for the people around him to know nothing. The longer people who have been with him, the more likely they are to know that Dong Manman is still young and may not know his eldest brother's private affairs, and the master also said that he spends most of his time in the White Tiger Hall, and what she thinks of is another person, so she will ask tomorrow.

That person was Uncle Liu.
