Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 52: Unpredictable (200 monthly tickets plus more)

As a result, Ren Yuan didn't worry too much. That night, something happened in Jinjia Village in the north of the township.

When he and his senior sister heard the news and rushed there in the dark, Tianliangzi and the village head were already waiting at the village entrance.

"What's going on?" Ren Yuan jumped off the leopard and asked.

"Master Huang, who is this?" Ren Yuan used a magic spell to disguise himself, and Jin Lizheng could not recognize him.

"This is the new temple priest of the Mountain God Temple," Tian Liangzi, who is now the temple priest of the River God Temple, said on behalf of Ren Yuanliang, "He is even more powerful than Second Young Master Xie."

Jin Lizheng was very dissatisfied when he heard this, but he couldn't care less at the moment, so he clasped his fists and bowed: "I have heard a lot about you."

"Stop being polite and let's get down to business," Ren Yuan urged.

"Hey." Jin Lizheng nodded and said, "Isn't this the night patrol organized according to the instructions of He Bo and the township? The patrol in the first half of the night was uneventful. In the second half of the night, everyone was sleepy and thought everything was fine. Just as we were about to go home and sleep, we heard the dog of Grandma Qi's house at the end of the village barking wildly!"

"Everyone rushed over and was about to knock on the door when they saw a dark figure rushing out from inside. Everyone raised their swords and guns and tried to stop that thing..."

"What's the result?" Ren Yuan asked.

"In the end, not only did they fail to stop it, but they also killed two and injured eight..." Jin Lizheng sighed, "Alas, Grandma Qi and her husband are also dead, it's so tragic. Fortunately, Huang Miaozhu arrived in time and drove the thing away."

"What is that?" Ren Yuan asked Tian Liangzi.

"Black zombie. It exudes a strong corpse aura, its body is black, it is invulnerable to swords and spears, and it is extremely fast. It can jump several feet. It is as strong as an ox and can move rocks and push trees." Tian Liangzi replied in a deep voice: "And this black zombie seems to have some intelligence. When it saw that it was no match for me, it stopped fighting and fled without a trace."

"Yeah." Ren Yuan nodded. Looking at the collapsed houses at the entrance of the village, he could imagine how fierce the battle was at that time.

“That black zombie should have been made from a living person, so it will retain some intelligence.” The senior sister studied with a serious Taoist for a while, so she knows more about these evil ways.

"I asked you to come here to treat those who were bitten by zombies." Tian Liangzi whispered again, "This is not my specialty."

"Let's go and take a look." Ren Yuan responded and asked Jin Lizheng to lead the way.

~~
When Ren Yuan and his senior sister arrived at the Jin family ancestral hall, they found the situation was worse than they had imagined.

Then I saw two old men and two young men, tied to pillars like dumplings with ink thread mixed with black dog blood.

The skin of the four people turned purple, and their eyes turned completely black, with no whites visible. They kept struggling there, and made meaningless roars from their mouths, which was creepy.

"This is the purple zombie that just transformed. It moves slowly and doesn't have much strength. It's the weakest type of zombie." The senior sister introduced it to Ren Yuan softly, "This should be the four people who were bitten to death by the black zombie."

"Yes, it's the old couple of Grandma Qi and the two poor young men." Jin Li was looking at them eagerly. "Is there any hope, young master?"

Ren Yuan looked at his senior sister, who shook her head. He then said in a deep voice, "The dead cannot be resurrected. We need to burn them quickly to avoid infecting more people."

"But they are clearly alive..." The villagers naturally did not give up.

"They turned into zombies after death, which are scarier than dead people." Tian Liangzi snorted coldly and snapped his fingers. Four sparks fell on the purple zombies and flames burst out instantly.

Amid the howlings, the four purple zombies were burned into charcoal and finally found peace.

"Ask the family to collect the body." Ren Yuan gave the order in a serious manner and walked into the inner hall.

The situation in the hall was not good either. Eight people who were poisoned by corpses were tied to the beds. Those who were less poisoned only had black faces, but they were still conscious.

The two most seriously injured ones had bloodshot eyes and their bodies were twisting desperately, obviously in great pain.

"Can these young men be saved?" Jin Lizheng and others asked nervously, fearing that he would shake his head again. "Yes." Fortunately, Ren Yuan nodded this time, and ordered everyone to arrange the injured according to the eight trigrams, and he stood in the center.

After pouring a bowl of clear water and chanting the mantra for blessing, Ren Yuan gathered the spiritual light on his fingertips and wrote a "Nine Phoenixes Breaking Evil Spirit Talisman" on the water. Then he stepped on the Gang Step, held the bowl in his left hand, dipped the talisman water on his right ring finger and flicked it out, chanting the formula:

"The Supreme Star, responds to situations without stopping. Exorcise evil spirits and bind demons, protect life and body. The three souls are eternal, and the spirit is not lost. Hurry up and obey the command!"

As the last word "Ling" was shouted out, Ren Yuan poured the bowl, and the talisman water turned into nine red flames, like nine phoenixes, circling through the bodies of the wounded, bringing out black mist.

The red flames burned up the black fog and then disappeared.

Looking at the eight young men again, not only there was no sign of burns on their bodies, but their faces were no longer black, their eyes were no longer red, and their expressions were relaxed, obviously returning to normal.

Jin Lizheng and others were stunned. Tian Liangzi asked proudly, "Are you convinced now?"

"I'm convinced." Everyone nodded quickly and said, "You really have some of the Second Young Master's style."

The common people of Fangxian Township stubbornly believed that no one could catch up with their Second Young Master Xie...

Of course Ren Yuan wouldn't be jealous of himself. He just smiled indifferently and asked someone to bring a big iron pot.

Everyone saw him take off the big gourd from his waist, pull out the stopper and pour it into the empty iron pot, and the white glutinous rice flowed out like water.

The rice in the pot soon exceeded the capacity of the big gourd, but the "glutinous rice spring" continued to pour out.

Looking at the seemingly endless amount of rice in the gourd, everyone secretly swallowed their saliva and thought, if they learned this trick, wouldn’t they never go hungry again?

Tian Liangzi saw what everyone was thinking and couldn't help but sneer, thinking that you have to rob a granary first.

After filling the pot, Ren Yuan stopped, burned a "Purification Talisman" into ashes and added it in, then asked Jin Lizheng to carry it to cook the porridge.

"They can't drink this even if they die of fullness." Jin Lizheng said.

"It's inevitable that other people have also been infected with the corpse poison," Ren Yuan ordered, "Let the whole village drink it together, no one can be left out, otherwise the poison will spread again."

The senior sister added, “The livestock also need to eat.”

"Okay, I understand." Jin Lizheng quickly asked someone to do it.

After the matter was settled, Ren Yuan and Tian Liangzi prepared to leave. Jin Lizheng sent them out and asked worriedly, "What if the black zombie comes back? We can't stop it with black dog blood, ink fountain, boy's urine, etc."

"Your household items are good enough to protect you from the newly transformed purple zombies." The senior sister replied, "There are eight zombies inside and seven outside. The black zombies are in the inner fifth. You are no longer afraid of anything."

"But it's still afraid of sunlight and only moves at night." She was kind after all, so she comforted him, "So don't worry too much during the day."

"It seems that the black zombies are not something that ordinary people can resist, so we still need to strengthen patrols and use the summoning talismans in time." Ren Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Later, our two families will make another batch of peach charms and have every household hang them on their doors. This will slightly delay the black zombies from entering the house and buy us some time to get here."

"Okay, thank you very much, little master." Jin Lizheng hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

At this moment, the elder sister's heart suddenly tightened. She concentrated her mind and investigated briefly and said, "Someone in Lanjia Village has invited the gods."

"Go quickly!" Ren Yuan hurriedly jumped onto the leopard with his senior sister. Tian Liangzi also followed the two of them quickly, like skating.
