Chapter Ninety-Three: The Living Corpse
By the time I got back down the mountain, I was already in a cold sweat.
Xu Er, who was waiting for me at the bottom of the mountain, saw that I was back, and immediately walked up to me and asked, "How is it Daochang Li?" ”
I frowned and said, "I didn't find your daughter." ”
"But it's really dangerous on this mountain right now."
"You'd better inform your village people that you don't go up the mountain during this time under any circumstances."
Xu Er's face changed suddenly when he heard me say this.
"So what to do?"
"Can't even you solve it?"
I didn't speak, I just felt a little irritable in my heart.
If I could find Xu Er's daughter and determine what her situation was now, I might know what to do, but not only could I not find it, but even the existence of her daughter made me feel a sense of panic.
I even have some suspicions, even if I find her daughter, I may not be able to do anything with her daughter with the soul suppression rope or the corpse scythe, or even the few talismans in my hand, without asking the gods to post it.
Xu Er saw that I didn't speak, and he panicked even more.
"Didn't your master say that you can solve it?"
Hearing this, the corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching, but at the same time, I thought of what Xu Er said to me before, I quickly took out the book that Li Bowen gave me and read it, and finally my eyes stayed on the introduction of the walking dead.
When I was watching it at the time, the focus was on the introduction of zombies, mainly because there were very few introductions to other types of walking dead.
When I looked at it again this time, I quickly fixed my eyes on one of the words called Living Corpse.
A living corpse, as the name suggests, is a living corpse.
It's just that this movable type is not alive in the real sense, but a unique phenomenon.
Under normal circumstances, the soul will be separated from the body at the first time, thus forming two independent individuals, under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for a living corpse to appear, even if a corpse changes, it can only be a corpse becoming a zombie, or because of obsession, resentment, the soul becomes a ghost.
There is usually no direct relationship between the two.
But living corpses are different.
There is still a soul in the body of the living corpse.
In other words, their bodies are dead, but their souls remain in their bodies and control their bodies, which are living corpses.
And Xu Er's daughter is very likely to be the case.
But why does her daughter's soul still stay in her body?
Could it be that it is because of the possession and burial?
Thinking of this, I looked at Xu Er and asked, "Where did your wife know about the possession and burial?" ”
Xu Er was slightly stunned and said, "City God Temple." ”
"City God Temple?" My eyelids jumped.
Xu Er thought for a while and said: "After my daughter died, my wife was like she was sick, looking for ways to bring my daughter back to life, and then I didn't know how to go to the nearby City God Temple, and after I came back, she kept saying that my daughter was saved, and told me about the burial." ”
"Said that it was a method that Chenghuang also saw her sincerity and specially taught her."
Hearing what Xu Er said, my scalp instantly tingled.
If there's one thing that has a shadow on me, it's the City God.
I don't have any reverence for Chenghuang in my heart, because of the matter in Niang'er Village, I can say that I hate the word Chenghuang very much.
But even so, I know very well that in my heart, I still have a deep fear of the city god, especially when I think of the scene when I was in Niang'er Village, the scene of the appearance of the city god in Niang'er Village is even more vivid.
At this moment, a thought occurred to me.
That's getting out of here.
Xu Er seemed to see that something was wrong with me, and hurriedly asked, "Daochang Li, did you find something?" ”
I came to my senses and shook my head.
I didn't even notice it, and by this time my forehead was covered with fine sweat.
At this time, I also confirmed that Li Bowen wanted me to take care of this matter, and nine times out of ten it was because this matter might have something to do with the city god of Xiawei Village.
It's just that I don't quite understand it.
If it's really the same as I thought, then what's the point of the city god in Xiawei Village doing this?
Killed an innocent child and some innocent villagers, and even the village keeper of this Xiawei village was killed.
Wait a minute!
My brow furrowed.
Village Keeper ......
I don't dare to think about it anymore.
Xu Er stretched out his hand and shook it in front of me at this time.
"Daochang Li, you have a word."
I took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back first." ”
"This makes me think about it."
I didn't dare to tell Xu Er that I wanted to leave here, because Xu Er gave me the feeling that he had put all his hopes on me.
And according to what Xu Er said, Li Bowen should be aware of the situation here, then there is only one possibility, that is, Li Bowen is sure that I can solve this matter.
But how to fix it?
I agreed to come at first, but I just thought it was just a simple weird event, as long as I found Xu Er's daughter and determined whether she had become a ghost, if so, it would either be ignited or killed directly, and the matter would be over.
And now it seems that it was just too simple for me to think.
Really.
Li Bowen, the bastard, deliberately disappeared, what kind of good thing can it be?
After I finished talking to Xu Er, I walked towards Xu Er's house according to my memory, Xu Er followed me, looking worried, and this was obviously because of my reaction.
Neither of us spoke again along the way.
It wasn't until I got to Xu Er's house that I stopped before I took out the book Li Bowen gave me again and took it out and continued to look at it.
Because I know in my heart that since Li Bowen has brought me here, it may not be so easy for me to leave after I come.
So what I'm going to do now is to find a solution.
At least find out Xu Er's daughter first.
As for the matter of the city god in Xiawei Village, I don't have the heart to think about it anymore, at this time I don't have the confidence I had at the beginning, and I only have irritability.
Fortunately, Li Bowen really didn't lie to me.
Or maybe he had expected these things a long time ago, so he reminded Xu Er in advance.
The book does have information about possession burials.
It's just not in the introduction of the walking dead, but in the content of Feng Shui mysticism.
Same as I guessed.
Possession burial is not really a resurrection of the dead, but a method of refining living corpses.
By dressing the corpse in red, then soaking up the earth's qi in a kneeling position, and then dousing it with the blood of a hen, the soul of the deceased who should have left is attracted to return.
Once the soul of the deceased returns, it will be trapped in the corpse due to the blood of the hen and the red clothes, and will eventually become a living corpse.
Whether it is the blood of a hen or the red coat, it is a thing that causes evil, and it is also the key to sleepiness, and this evil is naturally a ghost.
