The courtyard was solemn, waiting for Old Man Kang to tell the story of the old man. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But Old Man Kang still likes to sell a pass, and after looking around for a week, he saw that everyone was impatient to wait, so he took a slow puff of cigarette and continued to tell the story.

"It was during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty," I think it's wrong, "or Yongzheng, or Qianlong, or Jiajing......" Zhao Daliang, the village chief, was impatient when he heard it, he knew that the old man must not be able to figure out the age, so he made a round, "Old man, such a long time ago, it doesn't matter what dynasty he is, just talk about things." ”

Old Man Kang's old face was slightly hot, fortunately it was night, and fortunately, the headlights above his head were almost white, so everyone didn't see the old man blushing.

"Yes, yes, my old man has a bad memory, I can't remember that year, anyway, it was a certain year of the Qing Dynasty, at that time, there were still many people living in our mountains, unlike now, people from villages near towns and cities have gone to the city. At that time, there was a village in the mountains, not far away, and it was quite lively.

One year, suddenly there was a rumor in a village that someone had died. It is said that when he died, his body was miserable and white, his eyes were wide open, and there was no blood. It's like the blood has been sucked dry, and it's terrifying to death when you look at it. No one knew why this man had died like this. The villagers were frightened, so they burned the body. When the news came out, the body was burned, and everyone thought it would be fine. But after that, there were people from different villages one after another, or they went out to walk at night, or went up to the mountains to collect medicine and hunt, and there were always people who could not return home. When he found it, he was sucked dry of blood and died on the spot.

As soon as this incident came out, it became more and more troublesome. The county magistrate was also invited.

The officials in the county government examined the corpse, but they were so frightened that they couldn't do it, saying that it was a zombie riot, and they didn't dare to deal with it without authorization, and they couldn't arrest the murderer. They have all been sentenced to murder zombies, who dares to catch them? The county magistrate was clear, and then the state, government, province, and court reported all the way.

The court also shook, and there were zombies in these peaceful years, but how could it be done? Some people in the court said that it was a strange force, and there must be someone who was deceiving the public. is about to pick the crown of the county master.

But at that time, the emperor was quite wise, and he didn't listen to the minister's words, so he sent a capable official from the Criminal Department to this mountain county town to check on the corpses. This time, the people sent are all masters of criminal cases in the criminal department, and they are experts in pushing officials. After they came, they carefully examined it, and then, without saying a word, they put the corpses into coffins after a little treatment, saying that they were going to be transported directly to the capital. And told the county magistrate to notify several nearby counties to issue a notice together, saying that there are fierce beasts hurting people, and everyone should not go out at night, do not go up the mountain during the day, and prepare glutinous rice and silver nails at home, just in case.

As soon as this notice came out, everyone knew that it was the people above who believed that it was a zombie, which made the local people even more panicked.

At that time, our village was no exception, and some people went up the mountain and died. Except for some old men and old ladies who couldn't run, the rest of the people fled to the county seat in fright.

After the commissioners of the criminal department went back, they must have displayed the corpses and explained the conclusions of the judgment, and the emperor Lao Tzu was also frightened, so he invited the old Taoist priest to Longhu Mountain to come to our side to clean up the zombies.

The Taoist priests made a secret visit and finally found an ancient tomb in Shangtou Village, thirty miles west of our village. It is said that the group of Taoist priests gathered in Shangtou Village and asked someone to dig up the ancient tomb. After the tomb was dug up, there were two coffins inside, and both were sarcophagi. It is said that the locals are not rich, at most it is good to use a wooden coffin, but more are rolled up and buried on a broken mat, who is willing to use a sarcophagus? It can be seen that these two coffins and the owner lying in them are extraordinary.

One of the two stone coffins was open, and the body was nowhere to be found. Another coffin contained a strangely shaped dried corpse, and it is said that the old Taoist survey at that time said that this dried corpse is hundreds of years old, the whole body is not rotten, all the internal organs are complete, and the hair is still alive. The ancient corpse's whole body was tied with nine sturdy canvas ropes, only its head was exposed, its eyelids were curled dry, and its eyeballs were white and exploding outside, which scared people to death.

What makes people's hearts beat even more is that the whole body of this ancient corpse is coated with a layer of glutinous rice, a piece of rune paper is pasted on the forehead, and the seal of the coffin is also glutinous rice mixed with lime. What's more, after the people present opened the coffin, they vaguely seemed to hear a strange sound from the ancient corpse, similar to the sound of a person's chest tightness and panting.

This ancient corpse has not rotted for a hundred years, plus glutinous rice, Taoist talismans, bundled corpses, and corpse gasps, this is all a sign of zombies. The migrant workers present immediately blew up and wanted to flee. It is also thanks to the old Taoists of Longhu Mountain that they are not shallow, they are not moved at all, stabilize everyone, get up the corpse, add a few Taoist talismans to the corpse, and immediately burn the dried corpse. After the burning, notify the county magistrate, saying that the zombies that made trouble have been surrendered and burned, and a notice can be issued so that everyone can live with peace of mind and no need to be afraid. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Kang said that he was tired, so he took a break, raised his hand and took a sharp puff of cigarette, but unfortunately he was too involved in what he just said, and the smoke burned out. Frightened, he quickly threw away his cigarette and blew his fingers.

Village Chief Zhao Daliang hurriedly handed over another cigarette, "Old man, continue one, take a sip of tea, moisten your throat, and then tell everyone about it." ”

A young medicine farmer said, "This zombie is burned, what else is there to talk about?" ”

The other old man scolded angrily, "Piglet, why are you so stupid, not to mention two coffins, the zombies in one bite have been burned, and one of them has run away?" ”

When the young medicine farmer heard this, he was eager to find a crack in the ground and get in, and his face was as red as a big apple. Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw his embarrassment, and the terrifying atmosphere brought about by the scary story that Old Man Kang talked about just now suddenly subsided a lot.

Old Man Kang took a sip of tea, took another puff of cigarette, and opened his mouth to continue telling the story.

"Brother Liu is right. And an empty coffin. The one who is the haunter is the stuff of the empty coffin. The old way of Longhu Mountain is not stupid. burned a zombie, that is, in addition to a hidden danger, it reassured the people a little. In private, the veterans communicated with the government, and they were loose on the outside and tight on the inside. In fact, the old Taoist did not go away, and the government built a Taoist temple next to the ancient tomb dug up in Shangtou Village, which was called 'Shangtouguan', and those Taoist priests lived in it. He said that he was thanking them for eliminating the local evil, but in fact, he asked them to suppress the evil spirit left in the ancient tomb, and at the same time prevent the escaped zombies from coming back to do trouble. Moreover, the veterans also used this as a base to hunt down the escaped zombies.

Since then, there seem to have been one or two murders, and then, eighty percent of the Taoist priests in the 'Shangtouguan' left, leaving only two out of ten. These two Taoist priests have never returned to Longhu Mountain since then, and directly stayed in Shangtouguan, recruiting disciples and inheriting incense. Then, these ten miles and eight towns will be peaceful. ”

Everyone waited for Mr. Kang to continue to tell the story, but Mr. Kang concentrated on drinking tea and smoking, and there was no follow-up.

Shanbao blinked his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Then, what happened to the escaped zombie, did you catch it?" It just stopped on its own? ”

"Yes, there's still nothing to say about it, old man, why don't you talk about it?" Village Chief Zhao Daliang couldn't help but ask.

The old man Liu who made fun of the medicine farmer "piglet" just now opened his mouth, "I have also heard this matter from my ancestors, and the story I heard about this in front of Brother Kang is almost the same, and I still have a little continuation, I don't know if Old Man Kang has heard it." ”

When Old Man Kang heard this, he smiled and nodded, "I've heard it, I've heard it, but I don't know if it's true or not, you can just say it if you know." ”

Old man Liu stared at the cigarette in the hand of Village Chief Zhao Daliang and pointed, "If you want me to talk about it, then give me a root too." ”

"Hey! These old men, all of them have come to fight the autumn breeze. Lao Tzu finally managed to get a good box of cigarettes, but they ruined it. Village Chief Zhao thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he respectfully handed over the cigarette and lit it.

Old man Liu smoked a cigarette, and the conversation box also opened. As Mr. Kang said, the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain did not return to Longhu Mountain, but stationed in Shangtou Village, and then a real person who was said to be second only to Zhang Tianshi's two descendants, and ranked third in Longhu Mountain, came to sit in the town and eliminate zombie demons.

Although at that time, it was not as advanced as science today, but to tell about this zombie, it is also extremely rare, there is such a real thing, the real people of the famous mountain Taoist temple naturally refuse to lag behind, and they want to send capable people to supervise the battle.

It is said that the two or three people who died after the burning of the ancient tomb were not ordinary people, that is, the powerful Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain, pretending to be ordinary people, specifically looking for the place where the corpse was heavy, and finally found the fleeing living corpse in a mountain col, and then the old Taoist immediately went to encircle and suppress the zombie, and when the old Taoist arrived at the place, among the few people who took the lead in the investigation, except for those who came back to report the news, all died, and the blood was sucked to the point that there was not a drop left. The Taoist priest who rushed to the back immediately searched on the spot, but fortunately the living corpse did not flee far, and it didn't take long for him to be found, and then there was a dark battle, and all the Taoist priests died eighty percent out of ten, along with the real person who was profound, which shows how powerful this zombie is. Fortunately, in the end, the zombie was finally killed, and then, the remaining Taoist priests burned all the corpses along with the zombies.

In this big war, the losses are too great and there is a loss of face. The rest of the Taoist priests were punished by the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain, not to ask them to return to Longhu Mountain, and punished them to stay on the spot to 'Shangtouguan' and wait for their sins to practice. In addition, it can be regarded as helping the local government suppress the evil spirit of one party.

It was precisely because they cleaned up the zombie that they got the later peace, otherwise it would be difficult to want peace. After the story was over, the cigarette in Old Man Liu's hand was also smoked.

Zhao Daliang heard this and nodded, "So that's what happened, then say so, this, this," he pointed to the animal corpses on the ground, "It's also zombies?"

When Old Man Kang and Old Man Liu heard this, they both lowered their bodies, looked at those prey and looked at them, and finally shook their heads, "I don't know, I really don't know about this." Old Man Kang said.

"The zombie thing back then was all rumors, who knows if it's true or not? Besides, the zombie ate human blood back then, and I didn't hear that it would eat animal blood. Now, near our village, I haven't heard of anyone being eaten by zombies, and my old man thinks, it's not like it, it's not like it. ”

The old man was saying that it was not like it, when he suddenly heard a strange slender scream from outside the village.

At that time, everyone was talking until about ten o'clock in the evening. In the mountain village, at this hour, people have been sleeping for a long time, and everywhere is quiet and dark.

The mountains are all over the field, and the courtyard of this village committee is brightly lit. In the middle of the night, the cool air in the mountains was already strong, and the old story told by the two old men just now made everyone tremble.

In the quiet mountain village and wilderness, all of a sudden from the mountains, everyone in the courtyard trembled in their hearts, and they felt a cool breath, which rushed directly to their heads from their heels, and their legs and stomachs trembled with fright.

"This, this, this, what's going on?" The timid asked, crying and mourning.

Who knows what's going on?

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, don't dare to speak, and look at Old Man Kang.

Old Man Kang had never encountered this formation, looked up in the direction of the mountain, and muttered to himself, "Ah, my mother, I have lived for more than 80 years, and I am about to enter the earth, and I can be in the peaceful and prosperous world, but don't let us encounter this kind of evil thing again." ”
