Chen Xuan crossed the river along the small stone bridge that originally entered the village. The originally clear sky suddenly darkened, as if it was entering the evening.
After thinking about it, he silently recited the Golden Light Mantra in his mind to summon the golden light to possess him. He secretly held an evil-proof charm in his hand just in case, and then slowly walked forward.
The further we walked toward the village, the darker the sky became, and at some point, a layer of mist began to appear around us.
"Dong~~dong~~"
Amid the whistling of the dark wind, Chen Xuan heard a strange sound. He immediately stopped, put the evil-proofing talisman on his body, and pulled out the iron sword from his back.
"Hoho~hoho~"
A gust of dark wind blew, and a black shadow suddenly jumped out with a strange noise.
Chen Xuan dodged the black shadow's attack and looked towards the black shadow.
His face was sunken and rotten, his hands were as black as cast iron, and his clothes were in tatters and stained with fresh soil, as if he had just crawled out of the ground.
"Zombie?!"
An idea suddenly burst out of his mind.
Zombies are divided into levels such as purple zombies, black and white zombies, green zombies, hairy zombies, and flying zombies. The lowest zombie zombies are just infected by yin energy and can keep their bodies stiff and not rotten. Because of their purple color, they are named purple zombies.
This kind of zombie is not completely zombie. If you put it in the sun or break its body with a hoe to release the yin energy in its body, you will be completely dead.
If purpura absorbs yin and turbid qi, white or black hair will grow on the body, and the skin will become rough, the flesh will be thick, and the bones will be hard.
However, this kind of zombie is afraid of light, fire, chickens, and dogs. Even if there are no charms or magical objects in hand, as long as you are strong and courageous, you can kill it with a weapon.
The zombie in front of him was completely black, with a hint of green light, but it was a black zombie that was about to become a green zombie.
Green zombies jump very fast and are not afraid of people or domestic animals. They are only afraid of sunlight. They also have corpse qi on their bodies. If they are contaminated, they will cause people to be poisoned by corpse poison.
Seeing the zombie coming at him again, Chen Xuan silently recited the Golden Light Mantra in his heart, stretched out his hand and took out an evil-proofing and ghost-catching charm from his arms, and touched it on the sword, and the sword light flashed.
With one move [Cold Wind Across the Hall], the iron sword drove straight into the zombie's mouth like a draft.
Phew~
A stream of gray-black turbid air spurted out from his mouth, and was cleared away by the evil-repelling talisman before it could disperse.
With a hissing sound, the zombie turned into a puddle of black mud, emitting a pungent rancid smell.
Chen Xuan was so choked that he covered his nose and stepped back, shouting in his heart: "I'm going to say, is this zombie so smelly? It smells worse than the smelly fish and rotten shrimp that I covered for ten days in the summer!"
However, after a while, after getting used to it, he still resisted and stepped forward to take a look.
It can be seen from the rotting clothes on its body that this zombie was not transformed by people in the village, but by a dead person who had been buried underground for an unknown period of time.
Turning his head and looking back, the white fog rising around him became thicker and thicker, making it difficult for him to see the surrounding scenery clearly.
Fortunately, with the blessing of the Golden Light Spell, he was still able to sense the sunlight beyond the clouds and know the direction it was coming from.
"It's okay. As long as you come back before the sun goes down, you don't have to worry about getting lost."
With a way out, Chen Xuan felt a little calmer. He arranged the talismans on his body and in the bamboo basket, and moved forward again.
After walking for a while, he suddenly felt a shadow shaking in the corner of his eyes. He turned his head but couldn't see anything. As soon as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of someone shaking again.
He immediately understood in his heart that he was probably encountering ghosts and evil spirits. He immediately put a ghost-catching charm in his hand, stood still with his eyes slightly closed, and silently recited the Divine Mantra of Purifying Heaven and Earth in his heart to sense the surrounding qi.
"Photography!"
Suddenly, he felt a wave of waves coming from him, and with a loud roar, he knocked out the ghost-catching charm from his hand.
"Ah~~~"
A shrill scream rang out, and a golden light exploded, outlining a transparent figure not far from him.
All he could see was that he was dressed in white, his body was translucent, his eyes were fierce, and his face was hideous and terrifying. This was exactly a ghost.
But at this time, there was a yellow talisman stuck on his head and he was motionless.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan took out the soul-nurturing gourd and put it in it. After these days of sacrifice, this gourd already had some ability to refine yin and yang.
If such a ghost is contained in it, it can be refined within three days.
On the way, he encountered two more zombies and three ghosts. The zombies were killed and turned into mud, while the ghosts were collected into the soul-raising gourd.
After crossing the stone bridge that entered the village, he could reach the entrance of Qingshuiwan Village via Lixu Road. With the golden light spell to sense sunlight, he did not have to be disturbed by the surrounding fog and quickly arrived at the entrance of the village.
Looking at the dark village in front of him, Chen Xuan suddenly understood that the villagers of Qingshuiwan Village and the detectives who came to investigate were probably in danger.
However, I still have to go in and take a look. If I can find some of the policeman's belongings, I might as well report them to Zhao Xiaoming.
Unexpectedly, when he stepped into the village, the surroundings suddenly became brightly lit and full of people.
"Third brother, have you just come back from collecting firewood?"
"Well, Erzhu is also back from the fields?"
"Second uncle, have you eaten?"
"Brother Min, I'm so lucky to have Xiaocui following you!"
"..."
There were faint will-o'-the-wisps floating in the sky over the village, and many people on the streets were carrying firewood and saying hello, just like in the past.
Chen Xuan even saw a young policeman holding a pretty woman wearing coarse cloth and a jade hairpin.
He could clearly see that the man was the young policeman who came to the Taoist temple with Zhao Xiaoming that day, and his name seemed to be Wang Min.
People around her heard people laughing at her and found out that the woman was originally a widow in the village. Her surname was Liu and her name was Xiaocui. After Wang Min came, they fell in love with her and stayed in the village to become her son-in-law.
Such a strange sight made Chen Xuan's scalp numb. He didn't expect that Qingshuiwan Village had turned into a ghost.
I just don't know if they clearly realized that they had turned into ghosts, or if they just thought it was the same as usual.
He carefully hid aside and prepared to observe the situation, but suddenly he heard a tiger roar.
"Ho~~"
Suddenly, the whole village couldn't help but fell silent, and even the will-o'-the-wisps dancing in the air were stagnant.
"ah!!"
"Woo~~"
"Hehe~~"
Immediately, the original strange peace suddenly disappeared, and the entire village suddenly turned into a ghost. The surrounding houses collapsed and decayed, and there were mostly rotten bones among the ruins.
The villagers who originally had peaceful faces turned into green-faced and fanged ghosts, maintaining their tragic state before death and looking in the direction where the tiger's roar came from.
Some were covered in skin and bones like mummies, some had broken limbs as if they had been eaten by something, and some had broken limbs and arms as if they had been injured by weapons...
"Ho~~"
Another thunderous tiger roar came, and Chen Xuan also raised his head and looked over, only to see a yellow-fronted tiger jumping out.
He suddenly grabbed Wang Min, who was missing half of his head, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Grandma Lou?"
