Chapter 11: Zombie Secrets

"Hehe, he really deserves to be the 'Emperor Demon Star' of the head of the Six Saints of the Southern Dipper, and he solved the problem as soon as he made a move. Yinluo, it turns out that the emperor demon is really the father of the five of you. Tsk, it's really amazing, I heard that the five of you are all cultivated by the 'Emperor Demon', because I don't know each other, I don't believe it yet, and now it seems that the Six Saints of the Southern Dipper are really all thanks to the Emperor Demon. The plague spirit, freed from the flames, said to the sound snail.

That's right. Yinluo has always been called the "Six Saints of the Southern Dipper" by the plague ghosts, but before they only saw five dried corpses such as Yinluo and Chimeng, it turned out that there was still this most powerful "Emperor Demon" hidden. But I didn't expect that the strength of this emperor demon would be so strong, and if we didn't see him make a move, we would all be hit hard and have no strength at all.

Listening to the plague ghost, the other "Five Saints of the Southern Dipper" seem to have been cultivated and created by this emperor demon, and they also call the emperor demon "Daddy". In this way, this emperor demon is really an old monster who doesn't know how many years he has lived, I thought to myself.

"You all come down, I can't be in retreat during this time, and tell me, what have you done recently?" The power of the emperor demon came from afar, making people feel that this guy seemed to be an abyss demon king who had climbed up from the depths of hell.

The four rakshasas in the air all fell in front of the emperor demon and turned into their original dry corpse appearance, Chi Meng and the others knelt down in front of this black shadow called the emperor demon together, and under the emperor demon's inquiry, they began to report their previous experiences to the emperor demon.

It turned out that in accordance with the instructions of the emperor demon before the retreat, the five brothers and sisters of Chimeng and Yinluo were originally practicing in seclusion in the wilderness of the southwest, and the emperor demon was not allowed to act without permission before leaving the customs. How do you know, more than ten years ago, "Red Spirit" came to the door and brought three magic weapons that could open King Gesar's seal, according to what Red Luck said, King Gesar's seal suppressed many ancient demon venerables, after so many years, most of those ancient demon venerables have been annihilated in the seal, but the cheats and magic weapons they left behind are all treasures, if Chimeng and others are willing to open the seal with Honglu, then the two sides can share the treasure, but the condition is that Chimeng and others must agree to take out another magic weapon to open the seal.

Chimeng and the others didn't expect that the Red Rays would know that they also had magic weapons to open King Gesar's seal. In ancient times, after King Gesar sealed many demons in Tibet and even the southwest, he left four magic weapons to his descendants and warned that these four magic weapons like burning iron rods must be properly kept, because if these four magic weapons are destroyed, the seal will not be guaranteed, and at the same time, the four magic weapons are also the vital keys to open the seal.

King Gesar once said that the demons in the seal will be refined into valuable elixirs after being suppressed for 3,600 years, and as long as the descendants hold these four magic weapons, when the time comes to open the seal, they can get huge treasures.

Unexpectedly, this news was accidentally leaked by the descendants, and in the following thousand years, there were demons in the Tibetan area to find the magic weapon that opened the seal of King Gesar, and finally one day, the queen of Gesar, who guarded the magic weapon, lost four heavy weapons surrounded by a group of demons, and these four heavy weapons also fell into the hands of different demons and continued to toss and turn until there was no news gradually.

In this world, no one should know that they are the Six Corpses of the Southern Dipper, the six corpses called the Six Corpses of the Southern Dipper by the Righteous Path, and the Six Saints of the Southern Dipper by the Demon Dao, who have one of the magic weapons that opened the seal of King Gesar. This is because, thousands of years ago, the predecessor of the Emperor Demon also participated in the snatching of the sealing magic weapon, and in the end, he was lucky enough to obtain one of the magic weapons.

Speaking of which, the Six Corpses of the Southern Dipper and the Red Shark are both zombies, but they belong to two categories due to their different talents and cultivation techniques. Similar to the vampires recorded in the West, there have always been legends of zombies in ancient China, but whether vampires are zombies or not is still being discussed in the metaphysical circles, because some Western metaphysicians insist that vampires are transformed by bats.

In our country, the earliest origin of zombies can be traced back to the era of Emperor Xuanyuan vs. Chiyou, legend has it that the earliest zombie is the daughter of Emperor Xuanyuan, because of Chiyou's spell, the daughter of Emperor Xuanyuan became a very powerful and terrifying zombie, which was called "Drought Fish" at that time.

As for the earliest origin of the word "zombie", it should be from the Taoist work "Daqianlu", which means that after death, the limbs are stiff and the head is not lowered, the eyes are not slanted, the legs are not separated, and the body is not decomposed. Since then, zombies have always been mentioned in folklore, and in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, zombie legends have reached a peak of circulation.

For example, there is a detailed record of the causes of zombies in "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", and the causes of corpses becoming zombies are divided into two types, one is the mutation of new corpses, and the other is that old corpses do not rot. In fact, for the mutation of the new corpse, the record in the Daomen is as follows: the grievances of the newly deceased have not disappeared, and if they are parked or buried in the shade, they can absorb the vitality of living beings, people and beasts, and turn into undead zombies under the inspiration of electric light and spirit animals (cats). And for the old corpse is not rotten, it is also related to the knowledge of "raising corpses", which is related to the feng shui of the motherland, roughly speaking, the corpse is buried in a pit with a very unbalanced soil pH degree, this kind of soil is not suitable for the growth of organic matter, so it will not breed insects, ants and bacteria, the corpse will not rot even if it is buried for more than a hundred years, and even the hair and nails will continue to grow It refers to land with a severe pH imbalance.

In the Daomen, there has also been a saying that "Taiyin refining form" has been circulating, to the effect that the newly deceased corpse is possessed by evil things or evil qi, and the corpse changes after absorbing the yang energy of the person, or if the corpse does not decay for hundreds of years, it will be resurrected at the end of the period.

In Yuan Mei's "Zi Bu Yu", the generation of zombies is said: the soul of man is good and evil, the soul of man is foolish, and the soul dominates the human body. From the perspective of Taoist thought, the soul is a masculine deity that is attached to human qi and dominates people's spiritual thinking activities, and the soul is a feminine deity that is attached to human form and dominates human physical activities.

The thing about zombies has always been very mysterious, it is generally believed that zombies first become the living dead who have no thoughts, no self-control, and can only kill people and drink blood, they are born from the resentment of heaven and earth, bad luck, immortality, immortality, and are abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man outside the six realms of sentient beings, wandering and displaced, taking resentment as strength and blood as food in the human world, and using the blood of sentient beings to vent endless loneliness.

In fact, zombies can also cultivate, and the longer the zombies, the more profound the cultivation. According to the hierarchy, zombies are roughly divided into three classes, the first class is the walking corpse, which is the unconscious body, and the lowest class of zombies, which completely rely on their own instinct to act, which is the meaning of the walking dead in the common saying; the second class is the conscious zombies, they have the same command as people, and can independently judge behavior, such as the thousand-year-old zombies in Chinese legends and some vampires in foreign legends; as for the third class, some are called "Lu" , belongs to the zombie of cultivation, can be regarded as one of the most powerful zombies, can fly out of thin air, and has supreme supernatural powers, after the appearance of this kind of zombie, I am afraid it is more terrifying than the atomic bomb.

Of course, this is just a rough score of zombies, in general, zombies can become demons, become a demon (or drought), legend has it that zombies will become a demon after becoming a demon, and zombies can fly after becoming a demon, also known as flying zombies, it is said that they can kill dragons and swallow clouds, walk like the wind, and go to the red ground for thousands of miles, which is the king of zombies. It was recorded in the "Divine Sutra" that there were people in the south, two or three feet long, with a bare body, two eyes on the top, walking like the wind, called Lu, and the country he saw was in great drought.

In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there is a record of zombies in the history of the Qing Dynasty "Shu Wei Ji" (written by the master of Dongxuan), which roughly says that in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, in the west of Xiangnan, there was a small village backed by the mountains, and a scoundrel in the village was poisoned by the corpse because of tomb robbery, although he was rescued by an old man, but because he did evil again, he was beaten by the whole village and thrown into the mountains to fend for himself. A few days later, he came back to ask for help, but no one would pay attention to him, and he was beaten again and tied to a tree outside the village. After the man died in a tree, the villagers wanted to bury him, but they didn't know that the innocent body was missing. After a few days, this person has turned into a zombie and returned to the village to kill the whole village, and the villagers have become zombies one by one because they were bitten to death.

In modern times, the most talked about is the Xiangxi dry corpse craftsman, in fact, this is a lost science, and the later ones are mostly scams, but if you really master the kung fu of dry corpses, you can turn the newly dead corpses into walking corpses, and order the corpses to follow to the destination by themselves in the trend of chasing corpses.

To get back to the point, Chimeng and other zombies belong to second-class high-level zombies that have not yet been cultivated, but the appearance of their five corpses is neither a new corpse or an old corpse that is not rotten and reborn, but is created by the emperor demon using an alchemy that has been passed down for thousands of years.

The emperor demon comes from an ancient demon gate, to be precise, this demon gate has long been good and evil, and it is not a demon, because the door is full of zombies, according to the Three Realms, zombies no longer belong to the Three Realms of beings, so if it is a demon gate, I am afraid that it can only be blamed on the zombie bloodsucking way, for thousands of years, this sect has not caused any big trouble, according to the ancestral gist of its door, the pursuit is only transcendent and self-contained.

When it was passed on to the generation of the emperor demon, it was already in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and the righteous path and the demon path also fought repeatedly, and during this period, the demon gate where the emperor demon was located was also mixed in, which eventually led to the complete extinction of all the disciples except the emperor demon in the demon war.

After many years, in order to continue the inheritance of the sect, the emperor demon found five dying people and refined one by one into zombies, these five people are the later Chimeng, sound snails and so on.

After having the inheritance, in order to further comprehend the heavenly machine, the emperor demon warned Chimeng and others that he would retreat for further study, so that the heirs would stay in the southwest Daze to practice with peace of mind and not go out, so that he would teach by word and deed after he left the customs. How could it be that during this period, Honglu held a magic weapon to find Chimeng and other corpses and promised a heavy treasure. In order to gain the trust of the five corpses of Chimeng, Honglu also promised that all the magic weapons that opened the seal of King Gesar would be held by the five corpses of the Southern Dipper.

Maybe he stayed in the deep mountains for too long, and after thinking that the pill heavy treasure in the seal could quickly improve his strength, Chimeng waited for the corpse to discuss it, and finally agreed to Honglu's suggestion, but Honglu didn't know that these five corpses went out without authorization from the emperor demon, and put the python skin bag containing the corpse of the emperor demon on Yinluo's waist.

According to the plan of the five corpses, if Honglu turns his face and refuses to admit it in the end, he can also ask the emperor demon to make his own decisions in time, which can be regarded as the secret of Chimeng and other corpses. As a result, I didn't expect that in this half of the center, the five corpses of Chimeng were beaten to death, and they had to ask the emperor demon to save their lives in advance.

After roughly knowing what happened before and after, this emperor demon couldn't help but be very angry at what Chimeng had done, if it weren't for the fact that the sect inheritance would not be destroyed in his own hands, according to the character of the emperor demon, it didn't want to care about these weak and unintelligent disciples at all.

The emperor demon likes to keep a low profile all his life, and is a lone zombie, although he is a zombie, he is arrogant, he will never bow his head to anyone, and he disdains to be in the company of ordinary demons, in its heart, even if it is a zombie that is not recognized by the Three Realms, but it hopes that one day it can override the sky with its own strength, and it is a completely stubborn and crazy corpse.

If you want to say that the cultivation of Chimeng and other corpses is not as good as one percent of the emperor demon, if you want to talk about experience, the emperor demon has seen more winds and waves, just like this, the emperor demon is angry in his heart, if there is no last battle of his own, Chimeng and other five little corpses will be harmed by what kind of red fish, in which, one is to blame his disciples for being born out of the mountain without authorization, and the other is disgusted by the scheming of this red fish. In addition, the emperor demon is also a little curious about the origin of this red fish, in the demon battle more than a hundred years ago, he has never seen other zombies except for this door among the zombies he knows, let alone a high-level cultivation of the dragon.

Thinking of this, the emperor demon must have an idea, it wants to see where it came from, dare to enslave its own disciples, and play the abacus of black and black, on the other hand, for the emperor demon himself, it also hopes to see if other high-level zombies have unique kung fu, maybe they can learn one or two to improve themselves.
