Villager of Destiny

Chapter 93
When I got back down the mountain, I was already in a cold sweat.

Xu Er, who was waiting for me at the foot of the mountain, saw that I was back, and immediately walked up to me and asked, "How is Daochang Li?"

I frowned and said, "I didn't find your daughter."

"But it's really dangerous on this mountain right now."

"You'd better inform your villagers not to go up the mountain during this time anyway."

Xu Er's expression changed immediately when he heard me say that.

"so what should I do now?"

"Even you can't solve it?"

I didn't speak, I just felt a little irritated in my heart.

If I could find Xu Er's daughter and determine what is going on with her now, I might know what to do, but I couldn't find it, and even the existence of her daughter made me feel terrified.

I even have some doubts, even if I find her daughter, if I don't have a god-inviting post, I might not be able to take her daughter with the soul-suppressing rope or the corpse-slaying sickle, or even the few talismans in my hand.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Xu Er panicked even more.

"Didn't your master say that you can solve it?"

Hearing this, the corner of my mouth couldn't help twitching, but at the same time, I thought of what Xu Er said to me before, I quickly took out the book Li Bowen gave me and read it, and finally my eyes stayed on An introduction to The Walking Dead.

When I was watching it, the focus was on the introduction of zombies, mainly because there were very few introductions to other types of walking dead.

Looking at it again this time, I quickly fixed my gaze on one of the words called living corpse.

A living corpse, as the name implies, is a living corpse.

It's just that this movable type is not a real movable type, but a unique phenomenon.

Under normal circumstances after a person dies, the soul will separate from the body immediately to form two independent individuals. Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for a living corpse to appear. Zombies, or because of obsession and resentment, the soul becomes a ghost.

The two are usually not directly related.

But living corpses are different.

There is still a soul in the body of the living corpse.

That is to say, their bodies are already dead, but their souls still remain in their bodies and control them. These are living corpses.

As for Xu Er's daughter, it is very likely that this is the case.

But why does her daughter's soul still stay in the body?
Could it be that it was because of being buried with a body?

Thinking of this, I looked at Xu Er and asked, "How did your wife know about being buried with a body?"

Xu Er was slightly taken aback and said, "City God's Temple."

"Town God's Temple?" My eyelids twitched.

Xu Er thought for a while and said: "After my daughter died, my wife acted as if she was sick. She searched for ways to bring my daughter back to life. Then she went to the nearby Town God's Temple for unknown reasons. After she came back, she kept saying My daughter was saved and told me about the burial.”

"That's the way the City God taught her because of her sincerity."

Hearing what Xu Er said, my scalp tingled instantly.

If there is anything that casts a shadow on me, it is Chenghuang.

I don't have any respect for the city god in my heart, because of the Niang'er Village incident, I can say that I hate the word city god.

But even so, I am also very clear that in my heart, I still have a deep fear of the city god, especially when I think of Niang'er Village, the scene of the city god appearing in Niang'er Village is even more vivid now.

At this moment, I suddenly had an idea.

That's getting out of here.

Xu Er seemed to see something was wrong with me, and quickly asked, "Daozhang Li, did you find anything?"

I came back to my senses and shook my head.

Even I didn't realize it myself, my forehead was covered with fine sweat at this time.

At this time, I also confirmed more clearly why Li Bowen asked me to take care of this matter. In all likelihood, it was because this matter might have something to do with the city god of Xiawei Village.

It's just that I don't quite understand it.

If it is really what I think, then what is the significance of the City God of Xiawei Village doing this?
An innocent child and some innocent villagers were killed, and even the village guard of Xiawei Village was killed.

and many more!

I frowned sharply.

Villagers...

I dare not think about it anymore.

At this moment, Xu Er stretched out his hand and shook it in front of me.

"Li Daochang, please say something."

I took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back first."

"It made me think about it."

I dare not tell Xu Er that I already want to leave here, because Xu Er gave me the feeling that he has put all his hopes on me.

And according to what Xu Er said, Li Bowen should be aware of the situation here, so there is only one possibility, that is, Li Bowen is sure that I can solve this matter.

But how to solve it?

I agreed to come at first, but I just thought it was just a simple weird incident. As long as I found Xu Er's daughter and determined whether she had become a ghost, if she was either enlightened or killed directly, this matter would be solved. it's over.

But now it seems that it was just too simple for me to think.

really.

Li Bowen, that bastard disappeared on purpose, what good could it be?
After I finished talking to Xu Er, I walked towards Xu Er's house according to my memory. Xu Er followed me, looking very worried, and this was obviously because of my reaction.

Neither of us spoke again during the journey.

When I arrived at Xu Er's home, I stopped and took out the book Li Bowen gave me again, and continued to flip through it.

Because I knew in my heart that since Li Bowen let me come here, it might not be so easy for me to leave after I came.

So what I have to do now is to find a solution.

At least Xu Er and her daughter must be found first.

As for the matter of the Town God of Xiawei Village, I have no time to think about it anymore. At this time, I no longer have the confidence I had at the beginning, and some are only irritable.

Fortunately, Li Bowen did not lie to me.

In other words, he had anticipated these things a long time ago, so he reminded Xu Er in advance.

The book does contain information about body burials.

It's just not in the introduction about the walking dead, but in the content of Feng Shui Xuanshu.

Same as I guessed.

Body burial is not really bringing the dead back to life, but a method of refining living corpses.

By putting the corpse in red clothes, absorbing the air of the earth in a kneeling posture, and pouring it with the blood of the hen, it is used to attract the return of the soul of the deceased who should have left.

Once the soul of the deceased returns, it will be trapped in the corpse because of the blood of the hen and the red clothes and cannot escape, and will eventually become a living corpse.

Whether it is hen's blood or red clothes, they are all things that attract evil spirits, and they are also the key to trap evil spirits, and this evil spirit is naturally a ghost.
