(Sorry guys, I don't know what to do.) I didn't want to write a few paragraphs that I had thought about before, so I just wanted to end this episode as soon as possible and start a new chapter. ）

It took a few minutes for Lin Xiao to quickly browse the contents of the mural, and when he looked up, he frowned.

In the passage, the ordinary monks and soldiers who were killed by themselves seemed to be made of wax and oil, and they melted away, leaving only a few empty clothes.

Everything was silent, and the eerie passage seemed to come to life, the walls squirming, the dark red light flickering, and the ominous aura was about to erupt. Before Lin Xiao could escape from here, the earth trembled, and the entire passage collapsed directly!

The world is turned upside down, and the earth shakes. The dense cracks like cobwebs spread wildly on the walls, and Lin Xiao had to hide in the corner with his head on his knees, and the next moment, the towering mansion collapsed.

"Is this buried alive?"

Lin Xiao's fingertips lit up with a flame, illuminating the absolute darkness around him. I was trapped in a small corner, with heavy boulders up and down, left and right. If he hadn't taken some defensive measures before the collapse, he would have been killed by the rocks by now. Rao was like this, Lin Xiao's forehead was still scratched by a piece of gravel, leaving a finger-length wound, and blood was pouring out.

Reaching out and pushing the stone beam above his head, he could easily overturn a truck, and the force was no less than a dozen tons of construction waste. What's more urgent is that although the passage has collapsed, the strange force attached to the wall has not disappeared. The strange black mist was permeated, and Lin Xiao only felt that his skin was tingling and itchy, and a small red dot like goosebumps quickly appeared. And soon it rotted and flowed, and the pain was severe.

Lin Xiao was so frightened that he had to reluctantly use a teleportation card he bought from a secret shop to get out.

"Teleportation card, priced at 3,000 points, one-time consumables. Ignoring terrain restrictions, it can be teleported within a radius of 500 meters after use, with no cooldown. ”

The poker-sized silver card streaked a mysterious trajectory in the air, and the next moment, Lin Xiao's figure disappeared. Before he could look up to the sky and laugh three times to celebrate his escape, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a big furry hand smashing into the air out of the corner of his eye.

Rumble!!

The huge amount of force was surging like a tide, Lin Xiao only felt as if he had crashed head-on into a high-speed train, and the bones of his whole body were faintly painful under this force, and the whole person spurted blood, and flew out of the air upside down.

After rolling seventeen or eighteen times, he finally stopped, Lin Xiao finally couldn't help the sweetness in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. Then he wiped the blood stains on his face and looked at the huge figure standing proudly dozens of meters away in shock.

The massive seven-meter-tall body stood on top of the ruins, a large area of human bones at its feet, and its chest was undulating, spewing out air like clouds. There is no doubt that this is a giant, but it is no ordinary giant!

There is a dirty animal skin around his waist, a pair of big eyes full of endless anger, and there are eight well-defined abdominal muscles in the abdomen, and the combination of strength and beauty shows the terrifying explosive power.

Insight!

"Giant Elite: Douglas. The relics of the giants, secretly imprisoned in the underground caverns of the temple and the Holy See, are awakened from their slumber. Strength: 60, Stamina 60, Agility 45, Mental Power, 50. ”

"Skill 1: Bloodline Suppression.??"

"Skill 2: Furious Roar.??"

"Skill Three: Elite Template.??"

"Skill 4: ??"

Seeing this guy's attribute data, Rao is Lin Xiao couldn't help but gasp because of his tenacity. No wonder he was half-crippled by a slap, and his strength and stamina of 60 points have definitely reached the limit of the difficulty of the current task! This guy who is enough to crush any adventurer in the current scene is completely a standard big boss setting.

The entire temple was in chaos at this point, and the fire was raging in the distance, and the flames were billowing. Nearby Douglas, the Giant, slaughtered the temple monks and royal guards. In another battlefield, seven or eight adventurers were fighting together, which was hot or not as hot as it was, but it was even more bloody and tragic.

"! You fools who don't do enough to do more than you can do! Dare to be so arrogant without a key, and even provoke the sealed elite of the Giant Clan, don't you know how to write the dead word of the Dao?! ”

"Fuck off your sister, I don't need you to teach me how to do it! Anyway, the thing has already arrived, so what's wrong with releasing the monster, don't have a headache. ”

"Hand over the things, otherwise you won't be able to survive, and you won't be able to die!"

This is actually a scuffle between the adventurers of the three parties, with flesh and blood splashing, all kinds of vicious and vicious tricks, and all kinds of foul language spraying indiscriminately.

One of them, a short man with dark skin and braided braids, sneered and suddenly threw out a purple vial. The bottle was made of ordinary glass, and after it was broken, a cloud of purple smoke spread directly, and several adventurers who couldn't dodge were suddenly festered by the smoke, and their faces fell to the ground with bruised convulsions.

"Damn, what kind of poison is this, so terrifying!"

"I know him, he is a famous poisoner, he specializes in preparing all kinds of poisons, and the people who fall into his hands have always been desperate for life and not for death."

"That's the pervert?!"

"Hey, pervert? I like it. The short man sneered, and his eyes bloomed with a cold and indifferent light like a poisonous snake, which made people shudder.

"Friendly reminder, the big purple bottle I made is a mixture of the sap of the bloody throat tree and the venom of various jungle poisons, and it is a weapon to get the master's seriousness. Ordinary healing methods don't have any effect, hehe. ”

The crowd shuddered. The "see blood seal throat" tree, also known as arrow poison wood, Moraceae, see blood seal throat plant. This is a real plant, distributed in subtropical rainforest areas, and can be seen in Yunnan, Hainan and other places in China. It blooms in spring and summer, and in autumn it bears red fruits like small pears, which turn purple-black when ripe. The fruit is extremely bitter in taste, contains toxins, and is not edible. The sap is highly toxic and generally dies within 20 minutes after entering the body.

The big purple bottle contains not only the highly poisonous tree sap, but also the venom in the backpack of the rainforest poison dart frog, and the venom of the black mamba viper.

The others were terrified when they heard this, and the wounds of the injured adventurer were already rapidly burning and festering, and they were even more anxious. I could only endure the pain and drink a bottle of antidote with 1,000 points to save my life.

On the other side, there is the battle between the two team leaders. Coincidentally, one of the two leaders strengthened the European vampire bloodline, and the other strengthened the traditional Chinese Taoist ability, controlling two zombies to fight vampires.

Due to the invasion of Western cultural thoughts, vampire and werewolf bloodlines are popular in space. The strong recovery ability, the attribute enhancement after transformation, and the pseudo-immortal body, all of which attracted the attention of some young people. However, the strengthening of traditional Chinese Taoist priests is extremely rare. What I didn't expect was that this Taoist priest actually had two zombies wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms!

Vampires and zombies, two undead creatures that originate from the traditional cultures of the East and the West, collide fiercely in this different time and space!

This adventurer's bloodline enhancement had obviously reached Rank B, his blood-red eyes were cold, and a pair of fleshy wings behind him were spread out to a width of two meters. The cheekbones are high, the chin is prominent, and the complexion is blue and dull. The signature two pointed fangs protrude from the lips, the length of a baby's fingers.

The vampire's fingers are bloody, which is the incidental energy "blood energy" of the vampire bloodline, which has good lethality and corrosiveness, and the snow light transforms into a long whip, and the two zombies whipped are angry and irritable.

Lin Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and watched the three iconic Eastern and Western undead creatures scuffle together, and couldn't help but think of an entertainment post he had read.

Why are the zombies in the zombie movies I have watched since I was a child, all wearing the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty? Why can't you wear other clothes? Moreover, the zombies we saw when we entered this terrifying world were also wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms, what does this mean?

In fact, this question has troubled many people, such as the generation of young people like me and you, who are very incomprehensible, for what kind of zombies in the movie are wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms. After someone's in-depth exploration and verification, the following conclusions are drawn.

Zombies were a very popular theme in Hong Kong movies in the 80s of the last century.

In the movie, the zombie is always dressed in the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, with his hands stretched out, and his feet together like sparrows, jumping and jumping like sparrows, distinguishing the direction by human breath, and another notable feature is that the zombie can be fixed by sticking a talisman on the forehead of the zombie. Because zombies always jump forward, in the feng shui practice of Chinese architecture, a threshold about 15 centimeters high is usually installed under the gate to prevent zombies from jumping into the home.

But why do zombies always wear Qing Dynasty clothes? This can be analyzed from many angles.

First, from an economic point of view: the costumes of the Qing Dynasty were many and cheap. Zombie films are generally low-budget movies, and for cost considerations, the producers let the zombies collectively change into Qing Dynasty clothes, and some Qing court dramas or something. You can also run over to borrow clothes, maybe a courtier in the Qing court drama wore an official uniform and was worn by zombies yesterday.

Second, the time perspective: if you die for less than 100 years, you can't become a sperm, and if you die for more than 500 years, you will become a demon. In other words, the bones are gone, so only those who have died between 100~500 can become zombies.

In this way, only people born in 1600~1900 AD can become zombies, and almost all people born in this time period are Qing Dynasty people. And legend has it that the Qing Dynasty people wore official uniforms when they were buried, which was decent. According to this estimate, the zombies that appear in film and television works a few years later should be wearing a tunic or a suit, or Nike, with three watches, and using the toothpaste recommended by the dental defense team.

Third, from the perspective of national feelings:

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when the Manchus entered the customs, they killed on a large scale, and many ordinary people died in other places, so there was a job of transporting corpses and transporting the corpses back to their hometowns for burial. Later, it was said that there were corpse chasers in Sichuan and Xiangxi, and the corpses would jump and walk by themselves.

Moreover, the anti-Qing restoration has always been the mainstream ideology in Hong Kong, and many people sympathize with the anti-Qing and Ming-Ming aspirants and belittle the Manchus, so these jumping corpses are installed as Manchu officials.

Moreover, Hong Kong was seized by the British in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, so Hong Kong people have resentment in their hearts, so they ridicule the Qing Dynasty, which is part of Hong Kong culture. As for the choice of official uniforms for Lu, it is because of the people's anti-Qing and anti-corruption performance, which is the imagination and social sustenance of scholars and literati.

Fourth, the perspective of film and television:

The shooting effect of the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty is more in line with the image of zombies, because the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty are more straightforward, the color is darker, and the shape of the official hat makes the whole costume different from the Hanfu, which has a depressing and dull taste, so it is most suitable for shooting zombies. If you use the costumes of the Tang Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and Han Dynasty to shoot, it is not impossible, but because the color of the Hanfu may be lighter and wider, it is not suitable to shoot zombies in Qing official clothes, but there will be an elegant fairy aura in it.

Therefore, when shooting beautiful female ghosts, they generally wear ancient Hanfu, and there are a series of classic female ghosts. Just imagine, let Nie Xiaoqian wear the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, what kind of effect should it be?

Fifth, from the perspective of folklore:

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a kind of Taoist priest called 'corpse trainer', and they had a spell to guide the corpse's action. There are many people of status and wealth, after death, hoping to return to their roots, and when the body is not decomposed, the warlock will rush back to the hometown for burial, at this time it is necessary to do the corpse disposal, Taoist priests will generally use their craft to make the corpse stiff so that it can walk. Then dress up, and at this time it is also very costly to put on official uniforms for them.

The corpse chasers were called 'corpse chasers', and they walked in groups of about three or five, some tied the corpses with ropes, one every few feet, and then pasted yellow paper charms on their foreheads, and others beat gongs and bells to open the way, and walked day and night. Before dawn, he threw himself into the stack, lifted the rune paper, and the corpse stood against the wall. Continue on the road until night.

There is also a theory that the corpse chaser actually carried the corpse on his back, but because he was dressed in black and walked at night, passers-by naturally did not see the corpse chaser, thinking that there was a walking corpse.

Sixth, from the perspective of literary history:

The zombie theory prevailed after the middle of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. On the one hand, the Qing Dynasty had more records of zombie incidents, more research on zombies, and more importantly, literary forms such as novels and readings in the Qing Dynasty rose to a high level. Folk literature will make different explanations for such strange things around you, such as ghosts and monsters, and zombies are one of them.

These things have also been recorded in more books and folklore, and have been used in some of the current films. The Qing Dynasty recorded the most zombies, and Yuan Mei's and Ji Xiaolan's were the first to be recommended. These two books can be said to be the 'Zombie Encyclopedia'. Most of the zombie movies in Hong Kong come from these books, so it is natural that zombies wear Qing Dynasty clothes.

This is a joke that Lin Xiao once heard in the tavern, and he just laughed it off at the time, but if he thinks about it carefully, it also makes some sense.

As for the origin of vampires in the West, the more reliable explanation is porphyria. Porphyria is a term used to describe symptoms when heme production in the blood is not normal. Some of these diseases, such as dermatogenetic porphyria, which results in the deposition of toxins on the skin, are often sensitive to light because light activates these toxins in the skin. When toxins are activated, the skin is eroded and disfigured, including erosion of the lips and gums. These factors may contribute to the decaying appearance of a corpse, as well as a fear of sunlight.

At this moment, both sides are angry. The vampire count howled, his voice sharp and piercing, and his ten-fingered claws were like hooks, directly overturning the skull of a zombie.

It's a pity that zombies are not zombies, and they don't die if their heads are broken. After being scratched by the vampire count, he howls and bites the vampire's neck. In an instant, flesh and blood were sprinkled.

Lin Xiao was enjoying this battle comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster, and a piercing chill came from behind him, which was as cold as an electric shock, making people feel numb!

"Oh no, there are assassins!"

Lin Xiao's mind was racing, and he reacted instantly, and he didn't want to crash into the front without thinking. At the same time, a transparent light shield appeared out of thin air, enveloping him.

The next moment, a pitch-black dagger stabbed out from the shadows, paused slightly as it pierced through the energy barrier, and then stabbed into Lin Xiao's vest again.
