Chapter 36 is full of doubts
The Ghost Cheng Tianzun's technique was quite ingenious, and after just a few breaths, she drew the rune paper.
Then with a finger, the rune paper spontaneously combusted without fire and then escaped into the bowl again.
When the maid carefully fed the talisman water to Zhang Long to drink, the wound on his arm, which was originally a little rotten, began to heal and scab at a speed visible to the naked eye after a little black blood flowed out.
"The corpse poison has been dissolved, and this person can wake up in only three or four hours, and after a few more days of cultivation, he can return to his original state."
"Thank you Immortal Master for the rescue!"
Xu Huizu and Li Zhiwan thanked them together, and the surrounding guests and maids were almost stunned, muttering words such as "immortal" and "master".
And when Zhang Hu saw that his brother had been dissolved with corpse poison, he immediately couldn't help crying, and respectfully kowtowed to the Ghost Cheng Tianzun for a full nine rings.
"Please also ask the immortal master to move to the main hall, Xu has ordered the family to prepare tea, the immortal master will rest for a while, and then a banquet will be held for the immortal master to catch the wind and wash the dust."
Xu Huizu arched his hand and said with a smile.
"But it's bothering Mr. Xu."
Ghost Cheng Tianzun raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly.
Xu Ning on the side was suddenly confused, and he didn't understand why this demon woman had such a good temper today, and she was so polite.
One thing to say, before going home, he was really a little afraid that the ghost Cheng Tianzun would go crazy at home and make his parents unable to get off the stage.
But now it seems that this demon woman is still quite qualified.
In the hall, everyone sat down as the guest of honor.
"In the countryside, it's really a sin to not have a good tea reception, and please invite the immortal master Haihan."
Xu Huizu raised his teacup and said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, I don't care about any of that."
Ghost Cheng Tianzun raised the teacup and took a slight sip, although this tea is not unpleasant, but it is definitely not delicious.
"Haven't consulted the Immortal Master yet?"
Xu Huizu took a sip of tea and smiled elegantly.
"Nameless."
Ghost Cheng Tianzun said lightly.
Xu Huizu and Li Zhiwan stared slightly, but then regained their enthusiasm.
"Dad, mother, how much do you know about the strange things in the village these days?"
Xu Ning didn't want to listen to them anymore, so he quickly cut to the point, he was really afraid that the demon woman of the Ghost Cheng Tianzun would go crazy in front of his parents.
Xu Huizu thought about it and said in a condensed voice.
"What I know is the same as the villagers, since the pagoda was carved out of bluestone in Xixi Village and placed by the stream, all the demons and monsters over there have been driven to our Dongxi Village."
A trace of sadness flashed in Li Zhiwan's eyes and said.
"Well, since then, strange things have been happening in the village, and eventually zombies have appeared to hurt people, causing panic in the people."
"The problem doesn't come from the bluestone pagoda."
Ghost Cheng Tianzun took another sip of tea and said in a leisurely tone.
"Isn't it because of the bluestone pagoda?"
Xu Huizu and Li Zhiwan were stunned, don't say it's them, even the maids standing on the side were stunned.
All the strange things in Dongxi Village only appeared after the bluestone pagoda was chiseled into Xixi Village, and before that, it was calm, which is a fact that everyone witnessed with their own eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that Ghost Cheng Tianzun had easily dissolved the corpse poison for Zhang Long before, the surrounding maids couldn't help but say a few words.
Xu Ning listened thoughtfully, and the light in his eyes kept flowing.
"That monk, teaching the people of Xixi Village to chisel into a bluestone pagoda can indeed drive away evil spirits, but it is only effective for weirdness."
The corners of Ghost Cheng Tianzun's mouth raised slightly, and he said lightly: "But for zombies without souls, the bluestone pagoda is useless. ”
"Souls?"
Xu Ning's pupils shrank suddenly, and the layout of every household in the village flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly asked: "Dad, mother, who taught everyone to do this in front of the gate of every house in the village?" ”
It is not a secret that glutinous rice can drive away and restrain zombies, and similar legends circulate in many places.
But what about mirrors?
A mirror hangs high in front of the door, which can be used as a "demon mirror" to some extent, which will reflect the original form of the demon and make the other party dare not invade the house.
However, it is absolutely ineffective for defending against zombies.
"It's the monk and the Taoist."
Xu Huizu's face suddenly became heavy, and he frowned and said: "The first strange thing that appeared in the village, that is, the chickens and ducks raised by Huang Sancai's family all died overnight, and the death was extremely weird, both of them had two finger-sized blood holes on their bodies, and the blood in their bodies was sucked dry, and the corpses were extremely shriveled. ”
"When this incident appeared, due to the experience of Xixi Village, the whole village became rumored, saying that the ghosts from Xixi Village were driven to our village by the bluestone pagoda."
He paused, and then said with a solemn expression: "At that time, everyone was in danger, so I and a few other squires pooled some gold and silver together, and came forward on behalf of Dongxi Village, and went to Xixi Village to find the monk and Taoist priest for advice. ”
"But who knows, when they arrived at Xixi Village, the two of them happened to have something important to leave in a hurry, but they just told us that this was the ghost from Xixi Village who had wandered to our Dongxi Village."
When Xu Huizu said this, the Ghost Ride Tianzun still looked indifferent, but Xu Ning's face became a little gloomy.
"They say that it would be too much to carve another bluestone pagoda to the west, and that the two pagodas together would suppress the leylines of the earth, which would only cause greater trouble."
Xu Huizu's face was a little ugly, and he continued: "Therefore, we are only told that hanging a bronze mirror in front of the door can drive away demons and evils, and at the same time, we must not go out at night, and we must light candles all night." This will allow them to settle the matter once and for all when they return to the village after they have taken care of the important business. ”
"As for glutinous rice, it was added after the first zombie incident, based on the legends passed down by the older generation."
Xu Ning's face became more and more gloomy, when something strange happened in Dongxi Village, the monk and Taoist priest had something important to leave urgently?
Is it really that coincidental?
"Dad, what's going on in that village?"
He asked in a deep voice.
"At the beginning, like Huang Sancai, every one or two days someone found that chickens, ducks or livestock were inexplicably drained of blood at night."
Xu Huizu sighed and said with some sadness.
"But since seven days ago, Li Jiu at the entrance of the village, and Wang Laohan from the wine shop were also found to have died tragically, and the death was the same as those livestock, and the whole village has been fried, and then I know that it is a zombie."
"Are there any other oddities? For example, someone drowned in the stream like the people on the other side of Xixi Village? ”
Xu Ning continued to ask.
"Nope."
Xu Huizu and Li Zhiwan shook their heads at the same time.
"Interesting."
The ghost took Tianzun to drink the tea in the cup in one gulp and slowly stood up.
"I'll take a walk around the neighborhood to see what's going on, and I'll be back in the evening."
