A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1055 Van Helsing! (Please order the full version!)
Hua Shier took Jingjing and flew directly back to Wumeng. He had amazing eyesight and he found from the air that after several months, Wumeng no longer had the prosperity it had before. The shops on both sides of the road had hung up their door panels and few of them were open for business.

The streets were even quieter and deserted. At a glance there was not one or two pedestrians to be seen, and they were all in a hurry with a nervous look on their faces.

The sword landed on the county government office and was seen by the constables in the county government office. As soon as it landed, someone shouted:

"who?"

Leopard Head led his men out and found that it was Hua Twelve. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and shouted excitedly:

"It's the adults who are back!"

When he shouted, Bao Longxing and his nephew ran over from the flower hall. When Hua Shier saw the two of them, he was speechless:
"You two don't have to be so exaggerated!"

I saw Bao Longxing and Bao Youwei, uncle and nephew, wearing rattan armor that they got from somewhere and dressed like rattan armor soldiers.

Bao Longxing was surprised and delighted:
"It's not an exaggeration at all. Second brother, you don't know that there is a monster in Wumeng. It specializes in biting people's necks and sucking blood. Don't look at me wearing this during the day. At night, I have to put a jar on my head to sleep for safety!"

Hua Twelve was both angry and amused after hearing this: "Then you might as well just sleep in the coffin, have someone bury you, and have someone dig you out the next day, wouldn't that be safer!"

Bao Longxing's eyes widened: "That makes sense, but what if they forget about me?"

"Then just bury him alive!"

Bao Longxing: “.”

When Hua Shier saw Liu Ziqing and Mo Zaiti coming out from behind, he raised his hand and pressed it on Bao Longxing's face, pushing them away:

"We'll talk about it later"

A day without seeing you feels like three years. I haven’t seen my two wives for such a long time, so I don’t have time to waste with Bao Longxing.

Hua Shier went up to hug the shy Li Taibai and the enthusiastic Mo Zaiti respectively, and then called Jingjing over to introduce her to his two wives.

Liu Ziqing and Mo Zaiti are both traditional women of this era, with good traditional virtues, such as the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. They did not show any dissatisfaction with Hua Shier bringing back another child.

Liu Ziqing sensibly took Jingjing's hand:

"Let's have a good chat, my husband. Go talk to Mr. Bao and the others. A big thing happened in Wumeng. They must have something to discuss with you!"

Hua Shier nodded and asked Liu Ziqing and Mo Zaiti to take Jingjing to the backyard. He led everyone to the flower hall of the county government office, sat in the main seat, and spoke first:
"Before I came back, I went to Renjia Town and met Uncle Jiu. He told me about the situation here, but it wasn't very detailed. Tell me what's going on!"

Bao Longxing sighed: "It's a long story!"

Hua Twelve glared at him unhappily: "Then let's make it short!"

Bao Longxing nodded seriously: "Some time ago..., recently..., now that you are back, I have finished talking!"

Hua Shier threw the teacup directly over, and Bao Longxing ran away in panic:

"Second brother, you are unreasonable. You are the one who told me to make it short!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you to death!"

Hua Twelve pointed at Bao Youwei angrily and said, "Nephew, you speak!"

Although Bao Youwei also had a nonsensical personality, he did not dare to act rudely in front of Hua Twelve, and immediately stammered as he told the story.

About a month ago, someone reported to the authorities that a group of traveling merchants were found dead outside Wumeng City. Bao Longxing then asked Leopard Head to go to the scene to check.

After Leopard Head arrived at the scene, he determined that the merchants had died from attacks by wild beasts. He then transported the bodies into the city and temporarily placed them in the charity cemetery, waiting for their relatives to come and claim them.

Bao Longxing didn't care about the report, but asked Bao Youwei to post a notice outside the county government office to remind the people that there were large wild animals around the county town. It was recommended not to act alone, and not to bring dogs into the mountains. It was best to wear a mask on the back of the head to avoid being hurt by the beast. (By the way, what is the purpose of this mask?)

Originally thought to be just a minor matter, but that evening someone came to report that the corpse in the cemetery had resurrected and was biting anyone it saw, even injuring the coffin guard who was guarding the cemetery.

Fortunately, the coffin keeper had made an appointment with a friend to drink at the cemetery at night. His friend saw that the situation was not good, rescued the coffin keeper, and locked the door of the cemetery in time.

When Bao Longxing heard that the dead had been resurrected, he found it strange and guessed that it might be a zombie or something, so he took Leopard Head and a group of detectives to watch the fun.

After arriving at the charity cemetery, they saw the coffin keeper standing guard at the door, seemingly looking into the cemetery through the crack in the door, while bursts of low growls of wild beasts could be heard from inside the cemetery.

Bao Longxing went up and patted the coffin keeper's shoulder, wanting to ask about the situation. But when he turned around, he was shocked to see that the coffin keeper's face was covered with black hair, his lips and teeth were protruding, his eyes were red, and he looked like a wild beast.

At this moment, the coffin keeper suddenly went crazy and opened his mouth to bite Bao Longxing, but Leopard Head acted in time and kicked him away.

The coffin keeper flew out and hit the door of the charity cemetery, knocking the wooden door open.

As the wooden door opened, a dozen monsters with black manes rushed out. However, perhaps because their limbs were bitten by wild beasts before death, they were incomplete, so they staggered when they moved.

But just as they rushed out of the charity cemetery, the clouds in the sky happened to disperse, the moonlight fell, and the wounds on the monsters began to heal visibly. At the same time, they howled to the sky one by one, making the sound of wolves.

Leopard Head acted decisively, drew his sword and chopped off all the monsters' heads in one go.

The next day, Bao Longxing invited a fortune teller from the city to take a look. The fortune teller was shocked when he came over. After calculation, he said that these were evil creatures similar to demons and ghosts. The bodies must not be kept, otherwise there would be troubles. They had to be burned in time.

Bao Longxing followed the instructions of the Yin-Yang master and burned all the corpses at noon when the sunlight was the strongest. He thought he had averted a crisis, but he didn't expect that the crisis had just begun.

Hua Twelve raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You ignored the beast that attacked the merchant team!"

Bao Longxing and others nodded, and Bao Youwei continued to say that since that day, people were attacked by wild beasts every few days, and later a kind of zombie-like monster attacked the people.

If people injured by these two monsters are not treated in time, they will be transformed into bloodthirsty beasts or monsters.

The so-called timely treatment means humane destruction, which means chopping off the head and burning it to ashes.

It’s not that Bao Longxing and his men are cruel, it’s just that the most powerful doctor in Wumeng County cannot cure people bitten by the two monsters. In order to prevent the injured from turning into the same monsters, this is the only last resort.

Fortunately, those monsters only attack at night. Bao Longxing organized the militia soldiers to patrol at night and strengthen the defense of the county government. At the same time, he asked Leopard Head to go to Renjia Town to ask Hua Twelve for help.

Leopard Head went to the charity cemetery in Renjia Town, so naturally he couldn't find Hua Twelve. Fortunately, Uncle Nine had returned from Jiuquan Town many days ago. When he heard that the evil spirit was causing trouble in Wumeng, he felt obliged to rush to Wumeng with his two apprentices.

It’s a pity that although Uncle Jiu recognized the Western zombie as the same vampire as the one in Jiuquan Town, he was still defeated by the joint attack of the vampire and the monster that could transform from a human into a wolf, and almost died in Wumeng.

As soon as Bao Youwei finished speaking, Bao Longxing complained:

"The guy called Uncle Jiu came and started to perform rituals, using a peach wood sword and a gold sword. I thought he was an expert, but he ended up getting beaten up."

Hua Twelve laughed and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, those two monsters should be Western demons. Uncle Jiu is a master from Mount Mao, and he uses my Central Plains magic. It's natural that they can't adapt to the Western environment when they use Chinese magic against Western magic!"

Bao Longxing and Bao Youwei both suddenly realized: "It turns out to be a foreign monster, no wonder it's so sharp!"

Hua Twelve said disdainfully: "Sharp as hell, Uncle Jiu doesn't know the weaknesses of these two monsters, otherwise, not to mention Uncle Jiu, even Leopard Head would kill these monsters like killing chickens!" He has watched too many movies about vampires and werewolves. The reason why Uncle Jiu's method of dealing with monsters and demons is halved in effectiveness is mainly because werewolves and vampires are not demons or undead in the full sense of the word.

From a metaphysical point of view, vampires and werewolves are called dark creatures, and from a scientific point of view, they are infected by some kind of virus.

Therefore, Uncle Jiu suffered losses because he used his previous methods to subdue demons and monsters without knowing the characteristics of dark creatures.

If you let Uncle Jiu deal with zombies infected by biological viruses, his magic may be of no use at all, and he might even die in the tide of zombies.

But if you know the characteristics of werewolves and vampires, then fighting them isn't a big problem.

For example, holy water and silver can restrain these two Western dark creatures.

Holy water is hard to find in China, but isn't silver plentiful?

In the movie "Blade", Blade kills vampires as easily as cutting melons and vegetables with his silver sword and silver darts.

In Hua Shier's opinion, Blade is no match for Leopard Head in terms of skills. If Leopard Head is given a knife, he can chop Blade into autism. If he changes to a silver knife, killing vampires will be much easier for Blade than for Leopard Head.

So what Hua Shier said to Bao Longxing was not just casual remark, but a statement of fact.

Leopard Head became excited when he heard this:
"Sir, I don't know what the weaknesses of these two monsters are. To be honest, I encountered that Western zombie two days ago and stabbed him more than 20 times. However, he didn't seem to be afraid of being hurt. No matter how deep the wound was, it would heal quickly. If I hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and called the militia for support in time, I would have been killed if the fight had continued!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He still felt scared when he talked about what happened that day. The sharp teeth and claws of the Western zombies could even crush bricks and stones. He was not sure if his iron vest could block the opponent's attack.

Hua Twelve did not hide it: "These two creatures are afraid of silver. Send someone to find the silversmith and blacksmith in the city and have them plate a layer of silver on your weapons. Then you won't suffer any loss when you encounter those monsters next time!"

Bao Youwei immediately called a few constables and formed a group to find a craftsman, and they had the blades of Leopard Head and others' weapons plated with silver that same day. As for the militia, there were too many people and they were too busy to handle it, but they could still ensure that each patrol team had a few silver-plated weapons for skilled people to use.

Night arrived as expected. Hua Shier used his Xiaoyao Yufeng skill to float silently over Wumeng, ready to attack any monster that appeared at night at any time.

What was unexpected was that the monsters seemed to have predictive abilities and did not appear the entire night.

When everyone met in the morning, Bao Longxing also felt strange:
"How could that be? There are wolves howling every night, and those Western zombies love to come out at night to harm people. Could it be that they know that we have found a way to deal with them?"

No one could answer this question. Hua Twelve had already explored the entire Wumeng County yesterday and found no trace of werewolves or vampires, so he had no idea what was going on.

It was afternoon when a constable suddenly rushed in to report: "My Lord, something is wrong."

A moment later, Hua Shier met an old friend, Liu Ayu.

This Liu Ayu is Liu Jinxi, Tang Long’s wife.

After Tang Long was killed, Liu Ayu returned to Liujia Village with the wanted reward money given by the government. It is said that she remarried to a butcher in the same village not long after.

When they met again, Ah Yu was holding her two children, one in each hand. The three of them were trembling all over, as if they had been extremely frightened.

"My lord, they are dead, all dead."

Hua Twelve was so worried: "The master is alive and well, please tell me slowly, what happened?"

He stepped forward and used the "Great Zhoutian Acupuncture Method" he learned from Xu Baijiu. He inserted a needle into Ayu's Shenting acupoint. He flicked it lightly with his hand, and the silver needle trembled, helping Ayu calm her mind and suppress her fear.

Ah Yu's fear was suppressed, and she immediately recovered a little, telling everyone about the horrible things that happened last night.

Last night, Liujia Village was attacked by a giant wolf. It was the butcher she had just found who used a butcher knife to desperately save her and her two children from the giant wolf's mouth.

At that time, A Yu was terrified and thought of what Tang Long had told her when he was still alive, that if she encountered danger in the future, she should run to the cellar at the back. He also told her that there were traps in the cellar and told her where she could go and where she couldn't go.

She immediately ran to the cellar with her two children and hid in an independent space hollowed out behind a secret door in the cellar according to Tang Long's instructions before his death.

This cellar was specially prepared as a hiding place by Tang Long in case the 72 Earthly Fiends would come looking for him. He never expected that it would come in handy now.

The giant wolf killed A Yu's butcher and followed the scent to the cellar, which triggered a mechanism and the giant wolf was injured and left.

A Yu waited tremblingly until dawn, and then came out of the cellar, only to find that except for her and her two children, all the people in the village were dead. Judging from the wounds, they were bitten to death by the giant wolf.

In fear, she thought of Hua Twelve, who could capture Tang Long alive, so she took her child and rode a donkey to the county town to report to the authorities.

Only then did everyone realize that the monster did not come to the county town last night, but ran to Liujia Village.

At this time, someone came from outside to report that fifteen miles north of Wumeng, people from Zhangjiazhai came to report that more than a dozen families in Zhangjiazhai were attacked by monsters last night. The dead had tooth marks on their necks and all the blood in their bodies was sucked dry.

Lijia Village was slaughtered by werewolves, and Zhangjia Village was attacked by vampires. No matter how you think about it, it feels wrong.

Hua Twelve suddenly thought of something and asked the person who reported the news, "Have you dealt with the bodies?"

The people in Zhangjiazhai shook their heads: "They haven't been buried yet. They are all waiting for the adults to make the decision!"

As for Lijia Village, there is no doubt that everyone in the village was dead, leaving only Ayu, a widow with two children, and she definitely didn't know how to deal with the bodies.

"It's likely that they will turn into corpses. Leopard Head, take a group of people to Zhangjiazhai and cremate the bodies of the victims as soon as possible. I'll go to Liujia Village!"

Leopard Head clasped his fists and accepted the order. He took more than 30 people, all holding silver-plated weapons, and followed the messenger to Zhangjiazhai.

After Hua Shier and the others left, he took off into the air and flew towards Liujia Village.

When they arrived at Liujia Village, as expected, although it was daytime, many villagers who had been bitten by werewolves had turned into zombies. They ate the livestock in the village. After eating the flesh and blood, their wounds from being bitten by the werewolves recovered, and then they returned to their own lives as before.

But the difference is that their eyes are like wild beasts and they exude a bloodthirsty aura.

Hua Twelve landed directly in the village, and many families roared and roared at him.

He stood in the middle of the village, looked around, and sighed softly: "Don't worry, I will avenge you!"

After saying that, he pointed his finger, and the Yin-Yang swords shot out. Two beams of light, one black and one white, circled in Liujia Village and killed all the villagers who had turned into zombies on the spot.

Hua Shier used the Ma family's magic to perform a ritual to liberate the souls of the dead in the village. Although it was daytime, he was able to successfully send all the wandering ghosts in the village to the underworld with his magical powers.

After he finished all this, the sun was setting. He flew up on his sword and returned to Wumeng. Before he reached Wumeng County, he saw from afar a team coming from the official road in the east outside Wumeng City.

Surprisingly, most of the people in this team are foreigners.

Hua Twelve's eyes moved, and he instantly accelerated, disappearing with a whoosh.

In the foreign team, a white man wearing a cowboy hat, a long leather jacket, and riding a tall horse subconsciously looked in the direction where Hua Twelve disappeared.

A young priest riding beside him noticed his abnormality and asked, "Van Helsing, have you found anything?"
