I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

In the second half of the night, the dense fog seemed to be showing signs of dispersing.The moon hangs in the sky, emitting a cool and cold light.In a few days, it will be full moon again.

Jiang Miao pulled up his coat, pulled out a piece of dirty cotton wool from the cabinet and covered the old lady's lap, and said softly, "That village woman and her man were both bitten by the dog, and they became Turned into a zombie."

The old lady nodded slowly: "Then, within a few days, many villagers in the village were attacked by zombies one after another. Everyone couldn't take it anymore and left the village one after another. But the scary thing is, no matter how far you run , they can still find you and bring you back... until one day, a Taoist came to the village."

……

"The strong wind attracts righteousness, and the sky fire is about to be evil, so the Taishang Laojun is in a hurry like a law!"

Following the spell, a yellow talisman flew towards the village woman's zombie, sticking to the center of its forehead.The zombie let out a scream immediately, its body began to fester continuously, and it fell down like a paralyzed mud in a blink of an eye.

The man who cast the spell was a young man in his thirties, holding a gossip feng shui compass in one hand and a mahogany sword in the other.

He bit his thumb, smeared the blood on the mahogany sword, and pointed the sword to the sky.There were dark clouds, thunder was rolling, and several thunderbolts struck down, avoiding the Taoist and hitting the zombies surrounding him.

The moment the sky thunder touched the zombie, it ignited a raging fire.

The zombies struggled and howled desperately in the flames, and within a moment, they fell one by one in front of the Taoist...

"Heaven and man have descended to earth! Heaven and man have descended to earth!"

The villagers who witnessed everything hurriedly knelt down in front of the Taoist and kowtowed desperately.The Taoist helped the leading village head up, and said modestly: "Poverty Dao is not some kind of heavenly being, but he just wandered here and saw some evil spirits, so he wanted to help everyone get rid of this evil spirit."

"Our lives were all saved by the Taoist chief. If it weren't for you, the whole Wutong Village would have been destroyed by monsters!" The village chief's goatee was blown up and down by him.

The Taoist smiled faintly, and said loudly to the villagers: "It is our mission to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it."

"Dare to ask, what should I call you, Taoist?" the village head asked.

"Just call me Zunshan." After the Taoist finished speaking, he pointed to Gouwa's body lying on the ground and said, "The reason why there are zombies in Wutong Village is because this child raised his breath in his throat before he died. I have not been able to swallow it all the time, and absorbed a lot of resentment in the damp place, resulting in corpse transformation. And people injured by zombies will also be infected with corpse poison, which spreads like an infectious disease. The whole village."

After a pause, the Taoist breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's all right now."

……

"Later, Taoist Zunshan lived in Wutong Village. In order to repay his life-saving grace, the villagers specially built a Taoist temple for him in the village, and worshiped devoutly every day. It can be said that Taoist Zunshan was the one in the hearts of the villagers at that time. God." The old lady said slowly.

Jiang Miao: "What happened next?"

"During the time Taoist Zunshan was in Wutong Village, he used clay sculptures to make four clay sculptures of joy, anger, crying, and laughter. The four clay sculptures were able to find the hidden zombies and wipe them out completely. He also led the villagers , Changed the layout of the cemetery and the back mountain. The Taoist said that such a feng shui bureau would protect the safety of Wutong Village... Then, one day a few years later, the sky above the Taoist temple where the Taoist Zunshan was located suddenly filled the sky, and the Taoist disappeared. Yes. The villagers all said that he must have completed his meritorious deeds and was ranked among the immortals..."

Jiang Miao had already guessed everything that happened afterwards: "Later, in order to remember Taoist Zunshan's great kindness and virtue, the villagers changed the Taoist temple into a shrine, and even built a statue of Zunshan Celestial Master, together with his xi, The four generals of anger, bitterness, and laughter are also enshrined here?"

The old lady nodded.

"But..." Jiang Miao was puzzled, "Didn't you say that Taoist Zunshan had star eyebrows and sword eyes before, and was upright? His portrait is too abstract, right?"

The old lady's breath suddenly became heavy, and she looked at Jiang Miao with fear in her eyes.

"The idol suddenly started to change!" She said anxiously, "Since Master Zunshan ascended, Wutong Village has no more zombies, and it has passed year after year in peace. The old people continue to die, and the young After birth and growing up, gradually, no one cared about Zunshan Celestial Master anymore... The shrine was no longer visited by people, and the statue of the Celestial Master was also dusted and gradually dilapidated. Until a month ago, the village once again There are zombies!"

"What's going on?" Xi Chi asked.

"Changgui's daughter-in-law quarreled with her mother-in-law and drank paraquat in a fit of anger. According to the custom here, a dead person has to be buried in the house for three days before being cremated, but he brought his daughter-in-law back at Changgui's house. That night, her nails started to turn black and long, and her teeth came out of her mouth... People who knew about those things saw it, and they ran to the god of Zunshan Tianshi overnight for fear that it would turn into a dead body again. Temple, ask for his protection...But when they saw the statue of Zunshan Celestial Master, everyone panicked. Then where is the Celestial Master? It is clearly a zombie!"

"You mean, the statue of the Celestial Master has also changed?!"

"Alas... Maybe this is God's punishment for Wutong Village, punishing us for forgetting our savior..." The old lady murmured to herself with blurred eyes, "It's all life, it's all life, no one can escape, Can't escape..."

After the old lady finished speaking, she said nothing more.As if very tired, he lay on the rocking chair and closed his eyes tightly.

Jiang Miao glanced at Qichi silently, and the two stood up in tacit understanding and walked outside the house.

At this time, the fog had completely dissipated, the stars twinkled in the sky, and the sight around became clear.

Jiang Miao lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.Previously in the house, he had been embarrassed to smoke in front of the old lady, but he was suffocated.

"I think there's something strange about this." Jiang Miao leaned against the wall, lazily half-casting his eyes and said, "There have been no zombies in so many years, why did they appear again suddenly? Not even the statue of Zunshan Celestial Master Let it go, if this is not a ten thousand year old corpse king, I am afraid that he would not have such courage."

"What does Sir Jiang think of Master Zunshan?"

Xichi's voice is particularly deep and magnetic in the night, Jiang Miao likes his voice and his always tepid tone when he speaks.

"It's a nice guy." Jiang Miao said.

When Qi Chi heard the words, he smiled in a deep voice: "Not sincere."

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows, motioning for Qi Chi to continue.

"Do you still remember the Juyin Pond on the way we came here?" Xichi paused, "Just now the old man said that when Taoist Zunshan was in Wutong Village, he led the villagers to change the feng shui pattern of the cemetery and the back mountain. I really think about the safety of the village, who would change the Feng Shui Bureau to what it is now?"

"It's also possible that Taoist Zunshan made the Feng Shui better, and someone else changed the pattern later, but the villagers didn't know about it." After Jiang Miao finished speaking, he bit the tip of his tongue, "Okay, Yuan is not Let’s go down. The villagers have lived here for generations, if the situation changed, wouldn’t they know?”

"."

"But why would Taoist Zunshan do this?" Jiang Miao asked puzzled.

"I do not know either."

When the two of them talked to this point, there was a sound of "Kang Dang" behind them, and the door was thrown open by You Ji.

"Come out to pee, sir?" Jiang Xiao teased.

"Piss your uncle." You Ji gritted his teeth with a dark face, "I can feel the aura of the missing Yin soldiers, right here at the shrine!"

After he finished speaking, he drew out the gun at his waist and was about to run towards the shrine.

"Wait!" Jiang Miao called out hastily, "The thing in your hand is not working at all, go to the house first to see if there is any glutinous rice."

……

The three rushed to the outside of the shrine, You Ji stared at the door of the shrine and said firmly: "It's inside."

Qi Chi frowned slightly, and said, "Jiang Miao, the barrier you set up here just now seems to have been destroyed."

Jiang Miao nodded, then took out the little paper figurine that he folded earlier from his pocket, and said, "You, go in and have a look."

The little paper man saluted him and flew towards the shrine.After a while, he walked out swaggeringly, and hooked his hands at Jiang Xiao.

"It seems to be safe." Jiang Miao turned to You Ji and Qi Chi and said, "Let's go."

The fog had cleared, and the moonlight had entered the shrine, illuminating half of the statue of Zun Shan Dao, while the other half was still hidden in the darkness.

The moment the three of them entered, they noticed at the same time that the four clay sculptures that Xichi had locked inside the shrine with the ink fountain thread had all disappeared.

Standing under the statue of Zun Shandao, Jiang Miao looked up at the statue coldly and said, "Someone came after us and released them all."

"Jiang Miao!"

You Ji's shout came from behind the statue, and Jiang Miao and Qi Chi walked around quickly.I saw You Ji squatting there, holding in his arms a Yin soldier who disappeared not long ago.

Jiang Miao hurriedly squatted down too, put his hands on the Yin soldier's chest, his eyes suddenly sank: "The spiritual consciousness is weak, it seems that it has been sucked away a lot."

You Ji carried the Yin soldiers on his shoulders, and said with a dark face: "He can't go on like this, he has to be sent back to the underworld first."

After finishing speaking, You Ji took out a talisman paper from his waist and lit it with a lighter.The talisman paper burned and emitted blue smoke, but the smoke didn't go up, but went straight into the ground.

"I've already sent a message, and someone will come to pick him up soon. Take him to a safe place first." You Ji said.

How could someone who had been missing for so long reappear suddenly?It seems that they are deliberately trying to lure them here.Jiang Miao thought about it, but he still quickly stepped forward to help You Ji set up the Yin soldier.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Qi Chi said in a deep voice, "I don't know where the four clay sculptures have gone. Let's go back to the village as soon as possible. I'm worried that trouble will happen."

"Okay." Jiang Xiao nodded.

The three of them left the shrine together with the unconscious Yin soldier.

At the same time, in a certain ward of Heluo County Hospital.A man wearing a ventilator with weak vital signs suddenly "suddenly—" sat up from the bed.

He twisted his neck stiffly, got out of bed and walked to the window, looking down.

I saw a tall figure downstairs looking up at the man, with a happy smile on his face, holding a copper bell in one hand and a white paper lantern in the other.

A gust of wind blew by, and the copper bell in the man's hand jingled.

No, where are the people?It is clearly the clay sculpture of the smiling face!

The man turned around and left the ward as if bewitched, and went straight downstairs.He walked slowly behind the clay sculpture of a smiling face, and stretched out his stiff arms to rest on the back of the clay sculpture.

The lantern flickered, and the two figures, one behind the other, disappeared into the depths of the night with the ringing of the bell.

One hop, one hop, one hop...
