Zombies have always been mysterious, and not much is known about them. However, it is generally believed that zombies become the living dead who have no thinking, no self-control, and can only kill and drink blood.

They gather the resentment of heaven and earth, and they are born out of bad luck. Immortal, immortal, immortal, abandoned by the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth and Man outside the six realms of sentient beings, wandering and displaced. The body is stiff, in the world, he uses resentment as strength, feeds on blood, and uses the blood of all beings to vent endless loneliness.

In the area of Xiangxi, China, the most talked about is the Xiangxi corpse chaser.

The ones that these people drive are walking corpses; The corpse chaser is called the "corpse chaser." ”

Generally, before dawn, the corpse is rushed to Yizhuang, or a fixed small shop. Corpses are generally draped in a wide black corpse cloth, with a tall felt hat on their heads, and several pieces of yellow paper with calligraphy on their foreheads hanging down their faces. In front of these corpses draped in black corpse cloth, there was a living person holding a gong, and he was leading the group of corpses forward while beating the small yin gong in his hand. He doesn't light a lantern and shakes a soul bell in his hand to keep night walkers out of the way, and informs those who have dogs to lock them up. If there were more than two corpses, the carcer would string them one by one with straw ropes, one at intervals of seven or eight feet.

From a feng shui point of view, zombies can only come out at night. Zombies are yin in Feng Shui, the most yin thing. And light belongs to yang, and the things that are yang, yin and yang are incompatible. Zombies can also come out during the day, but it is generally the Maoshan Warlock who casts a light protection spell on the zombies.

There is another version of the corpse chaser: for some reason, someone died in a foreign land. However, the custom in Xiangxi is that when a person dies, the body must be brought back to his hometown and buried in the ancestral grave. It is the duty of the corpse chaser to divide the corpse into many pieces. Carrying it on his back, he walked to the deceased's hometown and then spliced it together into a whole body for burial. In order not to attract attention, most of them choose to travel at night.

Speaking of zombies, we have to say Dryfish.

Drought Fish, a monster that is said to cause drought, is believed in the countryside to be the result of a dead man within a hundred days of death. The corpses of the dead who have become marls do not decompose, grass does not grow on the graves, and water seeps from the graves, and the droughts will carry water to their homes at night. It will only rain when the drought is burned.

In the countryside around Luzhong. The custom of burning the dartfish continued into the sixties of the twentieth century.

A zombie that has been cultivated for nearly a thousand years. If they are willing, they can easily make a state and a county thousands of miles of red land and no water remain, so they are called "drought fish".

According to folk history, zombies can be divided into six levels:

The first level is "white zombie". After the corpse is placed in the corpse ground. After a month, he began to grow white hair. These zombies are slow. It is very easy to deal with, it is very afraid of sunlight, but also afraid of fire, water, chickens, dogs, and even more afraid of people.

The second level is "black stiffness". Bai Zhuang is full of cattle and sheep essence and blood, and after a few years, he loses his white hair and is replaced by black hair a few inches long.

At this time, he is still afraid of the sun and fire, and his actions are relatively slow, but he is not afraid of chickens and dogs, and generally speaking, he will avoid seeing people, and he does not dare to fight directly with people, and often sucks human blood in his sleep (black zombie and white zombie are called "black and white zombie").

Tens of thousands of incidents of 'unknown blood-sucking creatures' attacking livestock have been reported in villages and farms around the world, and some believe that "wild people" are black zombies).

The third level is "jumping corpse", the black zombie Nayin sucks blood for decades, the black hair is off, and the action begins to jump. Jumping fast and far, afraid of the sun, not afraid of people or any domestic animals. Dogs that can bark again will not bark once they encounter a "black zombie" or "jumping corpse", but cats will bark coldly when they see zombies.

The fourth level of "flying corpses" evolves from jumping corpses to embrace the gloomy moonlight, flying corpses are often zombies that are more than a hundred years old or even hundreds of years old, with agile movements, jumping on houses and trees, jumping vertically like flying, sucking essence without leaving external injuries. Like the old demon of Montenegro in "Journey to the West", it should belong to this category.

The fifth-level zombie is almost demonic, named "Lu", also known as "Drought Fish". After the flying corpse absorbs the spirit for hundreds of years, its appearance becomes more and more hideous, it can be described as a green-faced fanged rakshasa who eats people, and can also change its body shape and appearance to confuse everyone. It can slay the dragon in the drought world, and can extradite the plague god, and the plague in the drought day is caused by this.

In ancient times, if the plague spread along with a drought, the common people would be convinced that the drought was at work.

The last level, and the most terrifying zombie. It should be said that it is no longer a "corpse", but a "demon king", named "Xuan", with the terrifying power of calling a battle with the gods, thousands or even thousands of years of Taoism.

As the saying goes, "one thing descends one thing", and if there are zombies, there is a magic weapon to clean them up. According to unwritten folk records, the magic weapons used to subdue zombies are: Taoist charms, black dog blood, black donkey hooves, glutinous rice, mirrors, peach branches, peach wood swords, jujube pits, ink fountain lines and other things.

The specific solution principle is: (without any miscellaneous hair) black dog blood, which belongs to the masculine nature, and is designed to deal with the extreme yin nature of zombies; The black donkey's hooves, which are dedicated to touching the golden school captain, are also the legendary magic weapon for dealing with zombies. And glutinous rice, in the south, is eaten when the family is dead to ward off evil spirits and prevent zombies. The mirror to deal with zombies is mentioned in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": the mirror is the essence of gold and water, bright inside and dark outside. The peach, the essence of the five elements, can be disgusted with evil spirits and control a hundred ghosts.

In addition, there is a cloud in the ancient Chinese book "Zi Buyu": seven jujube cores, nailed into the back of the corpse, is a strange method to destroy zombies.

Burning with fire is the ultimate method of exterminating corpses. There is a detailed record in "Zi Bu Silent": set fire to it, the sound of tsk, and the sound of blood gushing bones.

The ink fountain line, on the other hand, is a carpenter's and house-building bricklayer's tool, which is generally used to draw straight lines on the wall. The ink in the ink fountain is cinnabar added with ink.

The above weapons can only subdue zombies at level 6 or below.

Zombies can be broadly divided into three categories in terms of behavior:

One is the walking dead, which is the unconscious body, the lowest zombie, which relies on its own instinct to act, as the saying goes, "The Walking Dead" refers to this meaning.

There is also a type of sentient zombie who has the same intelligence as a human and can judge their own behavior, which is a terrifying zombie. For example, the thousand-year-old zombies in Chinese legends and foreign zombies all belong to this kind.

Then there's the Dry, the most powerful zombie. However, it only appears in mythological novels, and if this zombie appears, it will probably be more powerful than an atomic bomb.

The mummies that are coming towards us in front of us are conscious walking corpses. However, none of the three of us had any of these corpse-lowering weapons. It can even be said that I never even thought about it, let alone prepared it. The only thing that the three of them could use in their hands was knives and guns. However, I don't know if it can be used.

I have to think of many movies and novels where the most effective way to deal with the walking dead is to blow their heads. I don't know if this method will work, but it has come to this point, and I have to give it a try. (To be continued......)
