Chapter 3: Strange Tastes
Looking at the broken window, the woman covered it with a piece of cloth, it was a snowy day, and there was a series of footprints on the ground, and the woman said that the direction of the footprints was to the back mountain.
It's been a long time since I've been talking about zombies in recent years, mainly because there are more cremations now, and the possibility of becoming zombies is small, even if it's a burial, it's rare to abandon the mass grave form.
The other is that the previous zombies have been basically wiped out after being killed by the two generations of Taoist priests in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In these two dynasties, regional zombie disasters often broke out, and for this reason, the imperial court often organized a large number of folk Taoist priests to carry out zombie eradication campaigns.
Western exorcists of the same period have also been reported frequently, in short, in that period, the zombie species has almost been extinct, without the source of corpse poison, the natural zombie thing is less and less, and most of the Taoist priests have also changed to feng shui and fortune-telling for a living.
Hongcun is not big, and the back mountain is a terrain that Cha Wenbin is very familiar with, this zombie can't see the light during the day and can only travel at night, especially afraid of fire.
Ma Wenjun was still young and burned by the fire, Cha Wenbin estimated that he had no choice but to find some easy-to-use livestock to satisfy his bloodthirst, so he asked the fat man to go to Lao Xia's house to lead a sheep, and they were going to use it as bait.
The sheep was tethered to the back mountain, the blood red on the sheep was smeared with the blood tofu when the pig was killed during the New Year, and Cha Wenbin made a circle of plum blossom demon subjugation around the sheep, using half of the incense burned to six sticks as a stick and inserted it upside down in the snow, a total of six sticks as a group of plum blossoms, and each incense stick was wrapped three times with an ink fountain line.
In total, there are six plum blossoms on the ground to surround the sheep in the middle, and a thread in Cha Wenbin's hand is connected to the middle of the thirty-six incense sticks, which feels a bit like when he was a child, and he used a plaque to sift and catch birds.
Waiting for more than half an hour, the Chinese New Year's Eve nested in this snow, the fat man felt that his body was frozen like a sweet potato, and he was ready to ask for a cigarette to smoke, and Cha Wenbin pinched it: "Zombies have a very sensitive sense of smell and can't smoke." ”
"Then you said he would come tonight, if he didn't come, we wouldn't have to wait here all night."
"Will come!"
Cha Wenbin said in a low voice: "He is not a born zombie but an acquired refining, and his mind is far from mature. Burned by his father's fire, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the firecrackers and fire under the mountain will make him hide in the deep mountains and dare not come out, but he is injured and can only rely on blood to replenish vitality, I expect him to be unable to hold back. ”
It was almost four o'clock in the morning, and the fat man was already dozing, Ye Qiu suddenly pinched his nose, and the fat man woke up with a little discomfort and said, "What are you doing!" ”
Ye Qiu pointed to his ears and said, "The snoring is too loud, it's noisy for me to listen to the movement." ”
"Shh......h
Cha Wenbin stared at the compass and said, "There is movement, remember to capture it alive, after all, it is still a poor child." ”
I only heard a "click" in the snow in the dark night
The sound, because it is Chinese New Year's Eve, the mountain is brightly lit, but the mountain is dark, and you can't see your fingers.
The sheep not far away was humming restlessly, and its messy gait made it try to break the noose that hung from its neck.
Suddenly, a stick of incense stuck upside down on the ground flew up, and a thread broke straight, Cha Wenbin immediately grabbed the ink fountain in his hand and said, "Turn on the light!" ”
The fat man poked the flashlight forward, good fellow, there was really a black thing in the snow that was covered in hair.
This time, the fat man was empty-handed, and he pulled out the dagger in his shoes and held it back: "Zha Ye, are you sure this is a child?" He's going to get a fucking cow! ”
To their surprise, it was not Ma Wenjun who came.
Ma Wenjun Cha Wenbin has seen it, how old can a four or five-year-old child be, but this thing in front of him is obviously an adult, which is good, it completely disrupted their plans.
The thing was wrapped in ink fountain threads, and the incense bunches on the ground kept being picked up by the threads and bounced towards the man.
Cha Wenbin grabbed a handful of snow and pinched it in his palm and said fiercely: "Damn, I came to a big one by mistake, do it for me!" ”
He grabbed the ink fountain in his hand suddenly, and the thread on the man's body tightened suddenly, this ink fountain juice mixed with rooster blood and cinnabar glutinous rice was specially used to combat zombies, Cha Wenbin suddenly felt that his wrist hurt, if it weren't for the fat man helping to pull him behind him, he would have almost been ripped out.
The biggest feature of the plum blossom demon subjugation array is to descend but not to punish, this Taoist method improved by the art of war pays attention to sleepiness, and uses the plum blossom incense as the introduction of the formation.
Zombies because there is no vision, mainly by the sense of smell to feel, so plum blossoms can confuse each other, and then use the ink fountain line as a means to subdue the other party, before the Qing Dynasty, Taoist priests often used this method to capture zombies alive to go to the yamen to receive rewards.
He thought that this spell was more than enough to deal with a child, in fact, it was enough to deal with ordinary zombies, and a Taoist priest in Longhumen, Jiangxi Province invented this method during the Ming Dynasty, and caught up to thirteen zombies overnight, becoming a famous zombie Taoist.
Unexpectedly, in addition to being frustrated, this zombie has the power to resist, and the strength of Cha Wenbin and the fat man can't control him at all, if it weren't for the plum blossom array trapped under his feet, it is estimated that he would have been killed at this time.
Over there, Ye Qiu saw that the situation had changed so much, and he picked up the knife and suddenly "snapped"
With a bang, the ink fountain line cracked, and the line that bounced back actually cut a bloody hole in Cha Wenbin's ear, which shows the great strength of this force.
Ye Qiu didn't take a few steps out, and the man in front of him had already lifted the goat on the ground, and after the man held two legs of mutton in his hand and screamed, he immediately split the sheep into two pieces and smashed it towards Ye Qiu's head and face.
These visceral blood stains smashed Ye Qiu, who couldn't dodge it, into a solid knot, and by the time he messed with those things, the snow was already empty.
They followed the footprints and sheep blood on the ground for a while, until they reached an old place, and when they found the girl's cave, that is, the cave where the fat man and Ye Qiu went to steal the treasure, the blood was gone...... Back at the bottom of the mountain, Cha Wenbin posted a few talismans at the door of Ma Laoer's house, and added a few heavy coins to the position of the door god and hurried home, tonight they didn't even bring enough guys, and this is about to dawn, it would be nonsense to go down rashly.
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he was injured and hung up, which made Cha Wenbin very depressed, and when he returned home, the three of them took a wormwood bath to go to the bad luck, and it was already dawn.
I wrapped up the wound, ate the dumplings, went to bed, and didn't get up until noon.
On a snowy day, it is impossible to dig a herb on the mountain, Cha Wenbin has no relatives and no reason to go to relatives in this five miles, and the family found some inch medicine to bring with him, and took a little gift bag.
After all, this is still the first day of the new year, according to the rules, no matter how you enter someone's house, you can't be empty-handed, otherwise you will be scolded, Ma Laoer's daughter-in-law is grateful Thank you Cha Wenbin, saying that Wu Banxian has sent someone to send the money over early in the morning, and gave them special compensation, and let her tell the fat man to ask if this matter can be just settled.
The fat man said no, he would go to him when he was done here, and after putting down this cruel sentence, he went to see Ma Laoer, and his complexion was still worse than yesterday.
Cha Wenbin touched his weak pulse and said: "It's a little wrong, it is said that after feeding so much glutinous rice, it should always be a little better, why do you still feel more and more powerful?" ”
After careful examination of the wound, the color was black and began to turn slightly green, and the wound began to grow white hairs at some point, the length of a fingernail.
Cha Wenbin looked at Ma Laoer's face was also a little dark, but his nails and teeth were the same as before, which looked like corpse poison but he didn't want to, he thought about all the books he had read, and he never said that people who were injured by zombies would grow hair.
The few pieces of medicine brought were fried by the woman, which shows that the zombie poison pays attention to overcoming yin with yang and fighting poison with poison, the amount of medicine must be firmly controlled, more will be aggravated, less is useless.
Cha Wenbin had been observing Ma Lao'er's situation all afternoon, and he felt more and more that this matter was a little strange, and it happened that the freezer next to the child was next to it, so Cha Wenbin got up and opened it to take a look.
I saw a black human figure at the bottom of the freezer, and he could figure out how Ma Wenjun was lying in it at that time according to the gourd drawing, he dipped a little black ice scum in his hand and rubbed it on his fingertips, and a strange fragrance came...... "Auntie." ”
Cha Wenbin went out and found the woman who was boiling the medicine and said, "When did the black under the freezer start to appear?" ”
"It's been there for a long time, and at first we were worried that it was the child oozing blood, but the body was clean, and I didn't care about it after a long time, Wu Banxian also said that it was his soul."
The fat man said, "He knows bullshit!" ”
Cha Wenbin gave a little bit of the ice scum to Ye Qiu and said, "You smell it...... it?"
Ye Qiu also said: "It's so fragrant! ”
Cha Wenbin asked the mother-in-law: "Is there any fragrance on Ma Wenjun's body?" ”
"At first there were, then there was no ......"
"Then you should be used to smelling it, and you won't feel the same smell after a long time."
Cha Wenbin kept sniffing the ice while walking back and forth, and suddenly his face changed and said: "Stone, you hurry up and go to the county seat to find that Wu Banxian to see that he is still there, you must control him." ”
At that time, it was almost dark again, and the fat man on a snowy day pushed out the motorcycle for a while before he sent it, which was still a ragged piece of a ruffian in the village, that is, the Yangtze River brand with a tire unloaded.
He asked as he spoke, "That old boy has a bomb?" ”
"Don't ask so much, just catch someone, Qiu'er, you come with me to the town to find someone."
After that, Cha Wenbin and the others left in a hurry......
