Chapter 160: Eighteen Kinds of Corpse Transformations
"When did this happen?" Yuantong asked Mo Dajun.
Mo Dajun said: "Listen to my grandfather, it should be the time of the Republic of China, probably the beginning of the last century, and he didn't say when he was an old man." ”
"What caused the villagers to die at that time?" Yuantong asked again.
Mo Dajun said two words, "zombie".
I gasped, is this person really stupid or pretending to be crazy, how can there be zombies in the world?
I remembered that a long time ago, I went with Xie Luo to visit Wei Donghai's house, and found a coffin there, in which a child corpse had been mutated, and two policemen had died at that time.
The corpse of a child turned into countless flying insects, which is an unheard of cadaver phenomenon. Since this phenomenon exists, it makes sense that zombies exist.
I listened with a frown.
Mo Dajun said: "I heard my grandfather say that there were only dozens of families in the village at that time. Then one day, there was a great drought within a radius of 100 miles, and some people said that the drought was a zombie. At that time, I found a Taoist priest to do it, a total of two Taoist priests, on the day of the exhumation of the corpse, there was an accident, the zombie was unearthed, and a Taoist priest died immediately, and then the zombie killed the whole village, and the surviving other Taoist priest subdued it with his life's work, and burned it after pasting the talisman. The fever was terrible, and the plague was rampant within a radius of hundreds of miles, and countless deaths and injuries were made to livestock and villagers. The surviving Taoist priest blamed himself for everything because he had accidentally disposed of the corpse, so he stayed here and swore that his children and grandchildren would stay here for the rest of their lives to keep one side safe. ”
Yuan Channel: "How can your grandfather remember it so clearly, didn't you say that the people at that time were all dead?" ”
Mo Dajun was silent for a moment and said, "My grandfather is the descendant of this Taoist priest. ”
"And then?" Yuantong asked.
Mo Dajun said: "Later, after the passage of time, there were many people who went to Guandong, and this land was still very fertile because it was close to the river, so many people came to settle down. Later, the Japanese devils entered Manchuria, and this place was ruled by the Japanese for a long time, and many labor camps were built, and countless dead people were piled up in the back mountains. ”
I interjected and said, "It seems that what Brother Jiu said is true, his ancestor is really buried in this place." ”
"You said the city guy?" Mo Dajun glared and said, "His ancestor is a laborer? ”
yes, I said.
Mo Dajun shook his head: "No, no, if you are looking for laborers, then you should go to the back mountain to find it, that place is the mass grave back then." The bones buried in the village were not Chinese at all. ”
Monk Yuantong wondered: "Who are you who are not Chinese?" ”
Mo Dajun said: "I heard from my grandfather that the Kwantung Army buried a Japanese corpse in this village. At that time, the entire village was cordoned off, and the common people were driven into temporary living camps, and the Japanese were secretly buried. No one knew about it, but my grandfather saw it. He is a descendant of Taoist priests and has the duty of guarding the land, but in his generation, there is no Taoism anymore, and he can't fight the Japanese, so he can only watch the coffin and be buried. ”
Hearing this, I wondered, "No, it's impossible for the Japanese to leave their homeland and bury their bodies in China, right?" Unless the soldiers died on the battlefield, they really can't be taken away. ”
Mo Dajun was anxious: "Why don't you believe me, that's what my grandfather saw with his own eyes." ”
Monk Yuantong thought for a while: "Did your grandfather open the coffin and inspect it later?" ”
"That's not the case."
"So, he couldn't confirm whether it was a Japanese or not." YTO said.
Mo Dajun said: "But his old man saw with his own eyes that the Japanese were buried in thick places, and the soldiers of the Kwantung Army lined up to blockade them. He risked nine deaths to see this scene. ”
Round Channel: "The Japanese are unpredictable and treacherous, and they can't be treated with common sense. Why didn't your grandfather dig up the coffin later? ”
Mo Dajun sighed: "When the Japanese were there, he couldn't do it, there was always a team of Japanese soldiers stationed in the village, and if he was digging the soil, the movement was too loud to hide." Later, Japan was defeated, and as a result, war began in the country again, and many people left their hometowns, and my grandfather also moved. When the situation stabilized, he returned to the village and tried to dig up the coffins of the Japanese, but was stopped by a person. ”
"Who?" Monk Yuantong asked.
Mo Dajun's face was confused, and he said, "My grandfather told me that the person who stopped him was Lady White Bone. ”
"What?" Yuantong frowned, picked up the candle, and used the flame to shine on Mo Dajun: "You say it again." ”
"Lady Bones." Mo Dajun said: "Didn't you see it in the old temple during the day, and the statue of the god enshrined in the temple is the White Bone Lady." ”
"Is there such a person?!" I asked.
Mo Dajun said: "My grandfather said yes, then there is." At that time, it was the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there were still some superstitious activities in the village, believing in a goddess named Lady White Bone. This Lady of the White Bone came to my grandfather one day and said that she knew my grandfather's father, who was the Taoist priest who caught zombies in the first place. Lady White Bone and the Taoist priest are old acquaintances. Mrs. White Bone told my grandfather that the bodies of the Japanese buried here should not be taken lightly. The Japanese had already predicted the end of defeat, so they left such a scourge in China. This corpse has become a time bomb, and the coffin must not be opened rashly, otherwise it will bring ruin to the entire radius of hundreds of miles. Before Mrs. Bones left, she left a book for my grandfather. ”
"What book?" Yuantong asked.
Mo Dajun said: "During the ten years of turmoil, I couldn't keep old things at home, so my father burned them. I've heard my grandfather say that it's an old book for dealing with shadow corpses. Mrs. White Bone said that the corpses of the Japanese buried here will inevitably become corpses and then corpses after many years. When the time comes, if the coffin is to be opened, it must be disposed of according to the method described in the book, otherwise, the tragedy of a few years ago will happen again. ”
I asked curiously, "What is a shadow corpse?" ”
Monk Yuantong folded his hands: "The corpse is buried without decay, and the name is Yin Corpse." There are eighteen kinds of corpses, the most evil are blood corpses and zombies, and the next row is the shadow corpse. The corpse has absorbed enough yin qi to become a shady corpse, and the area where this kind of corpse appears is generally not a single grass, because the earth qi and vitality are absorbed by the corpse. The longer you suck it, the heavier the corpse's evil aura becomes, the more demonic it becomes. ”
Mo Dajun said: "Yes, yes, that's it, we have a lot of fish ponds here how to raise fish can't be raised, let the fish fry die, at that time I guessed whether it had anything to do with the corpse buried by the Japanese, but the village party secretary said that my brain was kicked by a donkey, delaying the whole village's plan to make a fortune, saying that I was a fool." ”
"Have you read that book?" I asked.
Mo Dajun smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen it at all, when my grandfather was dying, he scolded my father for being a loser, saying that if the book is burned, I am afraid that there will be endless disasters." Later, my father also died, and I was left alone in the village. I was thinking of making the coffin a permanent secret, but who knew you were here all of a sudden. As soon as you entered the village, I felt that something was wrong, and I definitely came prepared, especially the city man who led you, who was not a good person at first glance, and he must have the idea of a corpse. If you really want to help me, let me go, and tomorrow I won't let him dig up the coffin. ”
Monk Yuantong shook his head: "I'm afraid this won't work." The arrow had to be fired. And that coffin must be dug up, otherwise your village will continue to be poor. Besides, that corpse has been buried for so many years, and after inhaling the earth's qi for so many years, the demonic nature will only get bigger and bigger, and it is better to solve it now than to leave the trouble for later. ”
Mo Dajun said: "Let me go, I'll help you tomorrow." I know you're good people. ”
Monk Yuantong was about to say something, when suddenly there were footsteps outside the courtyard. He blew out the candle, reached out and grabbed me, and dragged me outside. At this time, the courtyard door opened, and someone walked in.
I followed the Yuantong cat's waist and hid behind the wall, and went out to look. There were three people who came in, led by the village party secretary, holding a flashlight in his hand, bending over respectfully, followed by Brother Jiu, and there was a bodyguard beside Brother Jiu.
As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, Brother Jiu asked, "Recently, I saw that the courtyard gate was not locked. ”
"It was supposed to be on, and it was opened." The village party secretary said.
"What's going on, who opened it?" Brother Jiu asked.
The village party secretary said: "I only gave the key to one person, that is the monk, he should have been here." He also asked me where Mo Dajun was imprisoned. ”
Brother Jiu took out his mobile phone and made a call, asking people to see if YTO was keeping vigil in the shed.
I squatted behind the wall, my heart was pounding, I looked back at Yuantong, and when I looked again, I was shocked, Yuantong monk was nowhere to be seen, and I don't know when I left.
The village party secretary took Brother Jiu and went into the room inside, and the bodyguards were guarding the door.
There was a voice in the house, and Brother Jiu asked, "Your name is Mo Dajun?" Do you know why I came to you? ”
"You know, you want to dig up that corpse." Mo Dajun said.
"Old branch secretary, you go out first, and I will say a few words to Mo Dajun." Nine Brother Road.
Then there was a knock at the door, and I looked in, and the village party secretary came out of it, standing at the window and probing his brain to listen. The bodyguard was very polite and made a gesture to let him go.
The village party secretary was still grinding, and the bodyguard directly got his hands on it, grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out. The village party secretary had no choice but to leave the courtyard.
In the house, Brother Jiu said, "I want to know what you know, and you can hear about that corpse." I'm satisfied, this bank card is for you. ”
Mo Dajun said: "If you don't give me money, I will tell you that the corpse must not be dug up!" ”
Brother Jiu sighed: "I have to dig up the corpse, no matter what happens, I will dig it." I just wanted to know a little bit more about the background. If you don't say it, forget it. ”
Mo Dajun hurriedly said, "Will you believe me when I say it?" ”
Brother Jiu said: "You are not a liar, I knew it the first time I saw you." ”
"Then can I ask you a question first?"
Brother Jiu's tone was quite interested, "Ask." ”
"How did you first know there were bones here? Don't say that it's your ancestor buried underneath, I know it's not, you can't fool me. Mo Dajun said.
Brother Jiu said leisurely: "Many years ago, I once met a strange woman, and she gave me an iron ring. ”
