Chapter 72: The Corpse Refiner
I was dumbfounded.
Oh, yes! I should have thought of it a long time ago!
If this is Yinyang Village, then everything can be explained!
You may have to ask, what exactly is Yin Yang Village?
In fact, such villages are extremely rare, even in the entire land of Middle-earth, there are no more than three.
These three have names and surnames, one is Xilinteright in Mobei, which is a very inconspicuous small village.
The second is in Wanzhu Village in southern Yunnan.
The third rumor is the Qianshanzhai in northern Hubei Province.
If I'm not mistaken, Anjia Village must have been called recently, this is one of the three yin and yang villages in Middle Earth, Qianshanzhai!
I'm covered in cold sweat, why did I come to such an evil place?
You must know that in Middle-earth, the three Yin-Yang Villages are known as cursed villages.
I read about the origin of Qianshanzhai in the notes left by Zhang Sanfen.
It is said that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place was actually a remote village in the deep mountains and old forests. Later, because of the continuous war, it caught up with a rare drought.
This drought brought a mountain fire to the forest, and the fire was continuous, and I don't know how many flying insects and animals in the mountains were scared away, and how many trees were destroyed.
Anyway, that year, standing in the position of Qianshanzhai, it was all smoke billowing as far as the eye could see.
The fire burned for a month, and the only small river in the village was almost dry, and even the drinking water was almost empty.
Without the rich mountains, the village finally encountered the most serious existential crisis in history.
At that time, the person with the highest prestige in the village gathered the whole village to discuss a way out.
So the men left all the surplus food in the house to the old and weak women and children, and prepared to leave the village together to find a way to live.
It stands to reason that this method can be regarded as a way to survive.
After the men left, the food left behind was enough for the villagers to survive the disaster.
But as the saying goes, the hemp rope is always broken in the details, and bad luck picks the hard-working people.
Life in the village was already miserable, but an extremely tragic thing happened.
When the men were about to leave their homes and try to go out to find a way to live, they encountered a mountain fire, and more than 50 men were trapped in a cave and suffocated to death.
When the news got out, the whole village exploded.
Some women hanged themselves on the spot, while others cried and fainted many times.
In this chaotic era, without men, the whole village will be ruined.
Two days later, all the men who had died of suffocation were transported back to the village.
Then, in the midst of a cry, the whole village began to build coffins and collect the corpses.
But at this time, suddenly a stranger came outside.
This stranger was also forced by the mountain fire, and ran to Qianshanzhai in a panic.
Seeing that the whole village was doing funerals, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly asked what was going on.
After knowing what was going on, the stranger really felt pity for the old and weak women and children in the village.
In this age of fucking, men are the pillars of the family.
Let's not say that this mountain fire is still not extinguished, even if it is extinguished, so what?
Without men, who will hunt? Who will plow? Who will take the prey and go outside for food?
The old and weak women and children in the village were kind-hearted, or perhaps because they knew that they had no way to live, they gave their poor food to the strangers.
The stranger was so grateful that he seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it.
But when the woman who gave the food to the stranger hanged herself, the stranger finally couldn't help it, and said, "Actually, you can't help but live if you want to live."
It's up to you to have the guts.
The respected old man couldn't bear to see that the women and children in the village were all dead like this, and hurriedly asked what to do.
The stranger dragged the old man into a room, and summoned up the courage to say a way.
It was this method that made the shocked old man's face change greatly, and his hands and feet trembled.
The stranger sighed and said, "This method is inherently despised. But now it is the only way to survive in the stockade. ”
"Old gentleman, I originally strayed into the Qianshan Cottage and thought that I would definitely die, but you gave me food and drink, and showed me the way out."
"I just hope this method will help you."
"As for whether you use it or not, it's up to you."
What is the method? It is the origin of Yin Yang Village.
The stranger said to the old man that in fact, the reason why the village was in crisis was because the men were dead.
But what is the role of men's existence? It's hunting, exchanging goods, farming, all these hard work.
What if I had a way to get these dead men back on their feet, even though they were only walking dead, but they could also do the shallow things of hunting and farming?
The old man was still extremely frightened at that time, and said, "Isn't that a zombie?"
The stranger nodded and said, "I don't hide it." I am a corpse chaser from Xiangxi.
What we are best at is raising corpses and driving corpses.
He is especially good at turning relatives who died in accidents into zombies, and still stay at home to protect himself.
Old man, let me say something ugly, the men in the village are all dead, and there are only some old and weak women and children left, and there is no way to survive in the mountains.
But if you use this method, as long as you follow the rules, zombies will never harm people at will.
And they can work hard to feed the old and weak women and children in the village.
When the children reach adulthood and there are new men in the village, then you can ask people to come to Xiangxi to find me, and I will help you bury these men who died in accidents.
The old man who said this was very excited.
On the one hand, the village is indeed desperate, and on the other hand, these men were suffocated to death by the fire with oxygen sucked away, and their bodies are not crippled.
If you can really work like a living person, at least the village still has a way to live.
So the old man summoned the remaining old and weak women and children, and told everyone the methods of the strangers, wanting to ask for everyone's opinions.
The result was beyond the old man's expectations.
The women in the village all chose to agree!
Yes, I can't live anymore, who cares about this?
As for whether you are afraid? Just kidding, they are all men in their own family, who would be afraid of the men in their own family?
After the old man told the stranger the news, the stranger nodded silently.
And then the method of creating zombies began.
Seriously, the corpse chasers in Xiangxi do have a unique heritage, at least the corpse refining piece is unmatched in Middle-earth.
It took him ten days to refine more than fifty men into zombies.
And he commanded every household to make a coffin and put it in the courtyard, so that the men of each family could lie down in it.
Finally, he told everyone in the stockade.
Zombies are yin, and when they encounter yang, they will pounce.
So from now on, you must follow the rules, and you can come out and work at will after dawn, and you can do whatever you want.
After dark, be sure to stay home and not go out.
Otherwise, the zombies will be stimulated by yang energy, and it is not a joke to make any mess.
After five years, when the children are on their own, I will come back and help them bury these poor men.
