"This is the second time you've seen it. The first time you were unconscious. How do you know it's usually very controlled?" Although what Yang Zhi said made sense, I still didn't want to admit that I had misunderstood Dahei.
"When I was at my house that day, my mother gave it something to eat, and it just tasted it. I've never seen such a dog. It looked just like a human." Yang Zhi said and looked at Dahei again.
If someone had called it a dog normally, it would have stood up and roared, but now it just turned to look at Yang Zhi, and actually wagged its tail.
"Okay, I'll give you some face and forgive him." Judging from Dahei's performance, Yang Zhi was right, so I could only find a way to get off.
"Thank you, uncle, what are you doing?" Yang Zhi became interested in the wood in my hand.
"Oh, this..." I could only explain it roughly.
"Uncle, since I experienced this, I can't help but think over and over again every day, I heard my mother said that you narrowly escaped death this time, can you tell me about it?" Yang Zhi said and leaned towards me.
"Your task now is to study hard. It's no good if you know too much about these things." Although he has encountered starving ghosts, he is an ordinary person after all. Knowing too much about evil things can easily mess up his mind.
"I'm just curious. I always thought these things were lies until it happened to me. I admire you so much. I feel like you are like people in legends. It would be great if I could be like you in the future... "Yang Zhi's words shocked me.
"But please don't. If your mother finds out, I'm afraid she'll break my other leg too. What's wrong with you? Learn this." I quickly raised my hand to cover his mouth and looked out the door of the store. go.
Fortunately, Yang Lan and Heizi haven't come back yet.
"Actually, it's because I have been pestering my mother to ask, and my mother doesn't understand these things, so she asked me to ask you directly. I have been in a mess in my mind these days, so just tell me, and I promise not to mess around." Yang Zhi sighed and then told the truth.
"It's okay if I didn't believe it before, but now you and Uncle Heizi are like living gods, and they are right next to me. How could I not be curious." Yang Zhi added, worried that he could not convince me.
"Really just curious?" I asked with a frown.
"I'm really just curious." Yang Zhi nodded vigorously.
"Then you just said you wanted to be like us?" I asked with a smirk.
"Then I still want to be a scientist, but I can't even think about it?" Yang Zhi immediately retorted.
"There is a god at the top of your head. Let me tell you first. You can just listen to the story as a story. You can't try anything related to evil spirits. I have been studying with the master for six years, and it is still extremely dangerous every time..." Before I could finish speaking, Yang Zhi interrupted me.
"Uncle, although I'm not old, I still know how much I weigh. Especially after this incident, I'm really just curious. It's like you told me there is a superman in this world. I don't believe it, but Suddenly one day Superman stood in front of me." Yang Zhi tried his best to explain.
"It's a deal, tell me what you want to know?" I thought for a moment and compromised.
Although curiosity killed the cat, the reason Yang Zhi gave me was not far-fetched and even made sense.
If it were me, if I kept pretending to be noncommittal but unclear about the facts in my mind, it would really feel uncomfortable.
"I heard that you fought zombies before? How did this zombie form?" Yang Zhi saw me nodding and immediately laughed.
"Before death, people have to go through anger, suffocation, and death. But between the suffocation and death, if you take one more breath, you will die without dying..." Hearing this question from him was indeed out of curiosity.
"Coupled with the Feng Shui of the burial place and many other external factors, it is possible to create a zombie. In fact, the cause of the zombie is very complicated and it is not that easy." I recalled everything the master said.
"I don't understand very well. Let me change the question. When I saw the movie "Zombie Exorcist", the zombies stood in a row and jumped around. Is that true? Yang Zhi's eyes were full of curiosity, and his eyes seemed to be watching. An encyclopedia of evil spirits.
Hearing his question, I couldn't help but laugh, because I had asked the master the same question before.
"The line of exorcism originated from Xiangxi. In the early years, transportation and communication were inconvenient. Our tradition emphasizes that the soul returns to its hometown. It was difficult for people who died in a foreign land to cross mountains and ridges to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. At that time, it was difficult..." I said clearly. He cleared his throat without stopping what he was doing.
"Uncle, just wait, I'll get you a glass of water." Yang Zhi was in for something, so he got up and went to get a glass of water.
"In fact, dead corpses are also movable, because there are 720 acupoints on the human body. The earliest way to remove corpses was to rely on external force to hit the acupuncture points on the body to achieve the purpose of the corpse moving on its own." I took a sip of water and nodded my thanks, and continued. road.
"Then, what then?" Yang Zhi lay on the table excitedly, staring at me with his eyes.
"Some corpses were too far away from home. The mountains were high and the roads were long. The corpses became hard before they reached home. Some of them even stunk. Some Taoist masters began to think of ways." I smiled. This kid's expression was much better than mine back then. It was an exaggeration when I asked the master.
"This dead body is different from a zombie. A zombie is very strange. It has no soul but is conscious. But this dead body actually has a soul. The soul will not be reincarnated until it is laid to rest." The master said back then was not so detailed. , I also added some of my own understanding.
"So, some Taoist masters tried to control the soul of the dead body. However, the jumping body was not a spontaneous behavior like in the movie, but its feet were tied." I looked at Yang Zhi with a smile, because This kid stopped talking several times.
"Why do you have to tie your feet?" Sure enough, he immediately asked.
"The soul consciousness of this person becomes very simple after death. To control the soul, you must first awaken the soul. Some deceased people will run around if they have unfulfilled wishes, so they tie their feet..."
"Firstly, to prevent them from running around, and secondly, to let them get used to this way of moving, so that they can continue to move even if they are far away from rigor mortis." I said and took a sip of water.
"Oh, I understand, so I used the Corpse Suppression Talisman to suppress these corpses and make them obedient." Yang Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
"Actually, the soul-suppressing charms are used to drive away corpses, and zombies only use corpse-suppressing charms." I explained with a smile.
"I don't understand." Yang Zhi looked eager to learn.
"The function of the Soul Calming Talisman is a bit like a sedative, which allows the corpse soul to abandon distracting thoughts. With the addition of a guiding light and a spell, the corpse soul just wants to return to its roots..."
"This zombie was not formed by the exorcism team. I have told you before that the cause of the zombies is your own confusion." I said and raised the wood in my hand to check it.
"So that's how it is. I really want to understand. Then why does the corpse not rot after being expelled?" Yang Zhi wanted to break the casserole and ask the end.
"The soul will not leave the body, and the body will naturally not decay. Therefore, when the corpse is driven to the ground, it must be immediately uncovered and buried, so that the soul can line up to be reincarnated. This is also one of the functions of the soul-suppressing talisman." This kid's question was also very accurate.
"What if the soul doesn't leave?" Yang Zhi became more interested, and he didn't know if this kid was so serious about studying.
"Orthodox Taoism will guide the soul to leave the body, go to the road of reincarnation, and seal the soul into the corpse. This is an evil way and something that goes against the laws of nature." I looked serious. This kind of thing is what we hate the most.
"Sealing the soul into the corpse? What will happen?" Yang Zhi looked at me with a worried expression.
"The corpse is not dead, the soul is not soul, the resentment is not dissipated, the body is not rotten, the evil spirit is extremely strong, what do you think will happen?" I asked sadly.
"Uncle, don't be scary. According to what you said, this thing must eat people." Yang Zhi said and shrank his neck.
"It's not just about eating people, zombies are also about sucking blood. If the soul is sealed into the corpse, if it gets older, that thing may become a monster." I couldn't help but get skin bumps as I said it.
"Eh... it's too scary. I won't listen to this anymore..." Yang Zhi shuddered and shook his head as he spoke.
"Hahaha, are you still curious?" I smiled proudly.
"No, I still want to ask." Yang Zhi shook his head and mustered up the courage to sit up straight.
"Okay, it's good to practice your courage. If you want to ask anything else, just ask." I nodded and looked at him approvingly.
"Which ghost is the most powerful? I saw the red-clothed ghost in the movie is the most powerful, is it true?" Yang Zhi scratched his head and asked in a low voice.
