Wu Jian's father mobilized his people to find a remote mountain, dug a cave with a large space there, and then threw all the corpses of all those who died of the plague into it, and burned them all with fire oil at night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, the corpses were not thrown into the cave horizontally, but the rules of cave burial were adopted, and the corpses of each person were arranged in order according to the generations and personal identities of the clan. Then the priest recites the prayer and practices it outside the cave to detach the deceased, and finally pours fire oil on the deceased's body and makes the body burn.

The cave burial system was very important to the Miao people, in their view, if the body of the deceased could not be buried in a cave, their soul would become a lonely ghost, and they could not be reincarnated as a human for eternity, and finally they would be swallowed up by the mountain gods and died. Among the Miao people, it is generally those who have committed serious crimes who are not punished for burial, and they believe that this is the greatest punishment for the dead. Therefore, as soon as Wu Jian's father's suggestion was put forward, it was immediately recognized by all the clansmen, and he quickly took action.

That night, all those who had died of the plague were put into the cave, and when everything was ready, some people began to set fire to the corpses. But no one expected that when the fire was halfway through, some of the corpses came to life without warning, and they bit people when they saw them, and then everyone found that these people had two fangs in their mouths.

Wu Jian remembered very clearly that in order to prevent those corpses from coming back to life from continuing to hurt people, dozens of warriors died in the clan that night. Later, in order to prevent similar things from happening, the cave burial system had to be abandoned.

After that night's incident, Wu Jian's father was very disturbed, he seemed to have thought of something extremely important, so he asked the witch doctor and the priest to come to the room overnight to talk secretly. Since it was a secret conversation, irrelevant personnel were naturally not allowed to be present, so before the arrival of the witch doctor and the priest, Wu Jian and his mother had already been ordered out by their father.

Although Wu Jian was only fourteen years old at that time, he had an extremely fast reaction ability, and he could already see that things were unusual from his father's uneasy face, so he did not leave, but quietly hid outside the house, quietly listening to the conversation of the three people in the house.

The first to speak was Wu Jian's father, his voice was very low, but he looked very anxious, "I'm afraid that the resurrection of the corpse is unusual, and I called you two overnight just to hear your opinions." ”

The priest's cold voice replied, "This must be the work of evil spirits, patriarch, I suspect that someone in the clan has collided with the evil gods nearby, and the terrible plague and the events of tonight are probably all disasters brought by the evil gods to our people." ”

After a long silence, Wu Jian's father asked, "Based on what you see, what should we do?" Is there a sacrifice? ”

The priest replied in a resolute tone: "Yes, not only must a sacrifice be held, but also a virgin boy and a virgin must be sacrificed, and their pure bodies will be exchanged for the forgiveness of the evil gods, and this virgin must be ......."

Before the priest's words were finished, Wu Jian's father immediately interrupted and reprimanded: "It is okay to hold a sacrificial activity, as for the sacrifice, it can be any animal, but it must not be a virgin boy or a girl, this point was clearly stated on the day I became the patriarch, and it is impossible to change it." And, in my opinion, this time it may not be what you think. ”

The priest fell silent, and Wu Jian's father asked the witch doctor, "What about you?" Tell us what you think! ”

The witch doctor said slowly: "In the past three months, I have gone through most of the medical books in the clan, but there is no record of this plague. But from what happened tonight, I see that this plague is very similar to a poison. ”

Wu Jian's father asked with a hint of curiosity in his tone, "What poison?" Is there a way to deal with it? ”

The witch doctor replied in a trembling tone: "It's corpse poison, only people who are infected with corpse poison will be resurrected after death, that is, they will become zombies." ”

Wu Jian's father hissed and inhaled, and he said in surprise: "It turns out that you think so too, this coincides with my thoughts, without further ado, we will now send the snake wine and Gu worms to the clansmen to remove the corpse poison." ”

The witch doctor sighed: "Before I came to you, I had already tried it, and what I want to tell you is that this time the corpse poison in everyone is different from the past, and our old method can only play a role in delaying, not completely curing it." ”

Wu Jian's father asked a little hurriedly: "Can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause?" Why is this happening? ”

The witch doctor sighed, "I don't know why, maybe it's because the corpse poison is too powerful this time!" ”

The people in the room fell into a short silence, and after a while, Wu Jian's father said: "The number of people suffering from corpse poison is increasing every day, and we must not only find a way to deal with this corpse poison, but also find the root cause of corpse poison." Don't tell the other clansmen about this matter for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary panic, so let's stop here today. ”

After listening to the conversation between his father and the three of them, Wu Jian fell into a deep fear, he had heard too much about the legend of zombies since he was a child, so he knew very well the horror of corpse poison, and he understood that if this matter was not handled well, his clan was likely to face annihilation.

In this way, half a month passed in fear, and more and more people in the clan were infected with corpse poison, but after the treatment of the witch doctor, there were fewer and fewer people who died, and because of this, most of the people in the clan were no longer as afraid as before.

However, Wu Jian knew very well that the calm in front of him was only temporary, as long as he couldn't find a way to completely expel the corpse poison one day, the clansmen infected with the corpse poison would die sooner or later, so he lived in fear and worry every day.

Another month has passed like this, and the source of the corpse poison infection has still not been found, and now that everyone in the clan has been infected with the deadly corpse poison, Wu Jian naturally can't escape this terrible curse.

There were originally more than 1,000 people in the clan, but in just a few months, more than half of them had died, and now there were only more than 400 people left in the clan, and the death continued, so that the fear spread among the clan again. Some people who have quick reflexes have even guessed the truth of the matter, and at this time, the ugly side of human nature is completely exposed.

Miao people since ancient times, drought and zombies are the god of Chiyou with mana illusion, they are not only invulnerable, but also can fly to the sky, is the god of the punishment messenger of the god of Chiyou. Because of this, some people believe that it is because of the inaction of the patriarch that they have angered the great god Chiyou, so they have been exterminated, and they suggest changing the patriarch.

Among that part of the clan, some people elected the witch doctor as the new patriarch, but more people chose the priest, but the clansmen who still supported Wu Jian's father did not agree, so there was a dispute between the two sides, and after the incident escalated, the two sides even had a fight.

In that firefight, more than a dozen clansmen died, and Wu Jian's father didn't want things to get worse, so he automatically abdicated, and the priest naturally became the new patriarch.

Wu Jian had no good impression of the priest since he was a child, and according to his recollection, this person was very scheming, and in order to prove his talent, he often worked against his father, so he believed that the chaos in the clan was carefully planned by the priest nine times out of ten.

After the priest became the patriarch, there was constant opposition in the clan, and he feared that his position would one day be lost, so he left his original habitat with the part of his clan that supported him, and went to the world beyond the mountains, and the bird has not been heard from since.

After the priest left, Wu Jian's father was re-elected as the patriarch, and at this time, the witch doctor finally discovered the source of the corpse poison through various efforts. What all the clansmen didn't expect was that the corpse poison on their bodies actually came from the drinking water at home.

There is a small stream near the tribe's village where the tribesmen's drinking water comes from, and it is from the stream that the witch doctor finds the poison in the water. Naturally, the stream water infected with corpse poison could no longer be used, so the tribesmen dug several wells in the back mountain of the village to solve the water problem.

After stopping drinking the stream water, the corpse poison on everyone's body spread more and more slowly, of course, there was also the credit of snake wine and Gu worms, but the matter did not end there.

In order to find out the cause of the corpse poison in the stream, Wu Jian's father and the witch doctor followed the stream all the way upstream, and when they reached the source of the stream, they were shocked because they saw a sarcophagus under the stream, a sarcophagus that had been half opened.

How can there be a sarcophagus in the stream? Whose coffin is this? Wu Jian's father and the witch doctor were puzzled for a while. Later, after careful observation, Wu Jian's father found a long scratch on the side of the stream, which was equal in width to the width of the sarcophagus, and extended to the top of a mound in front of it, and on that mound, there were many pottery scattered on it.

Wu Jian's father immediately affirmed that the original location of the sarcophagus must be on that mound, probably because of the flash flood some time ago, while washing away a large amount of soil on the mound, it also washed the sarcophagus under the soil layer into the creek, which led to the incredible scene before.

Wu Jian's father and the witch doctor had a clear heart, and the corpse poison in the stream must have come from the sarcophagus, and perhaps there was a thousand-year-old zombie inside. Sure enough, when they reached the sarcophagus, they looked and found an unusually tall dried corpse, which was stuck in the half-opened sarcophagus.

But when the two in front of them saw the true face of the corpse clearly, a vicious chill immediately spread all over their bodies, because they never expected that the corpse in the sarcophagus was actually a monster with a human head and a beast body, and its head was actually a bull's head!
