Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 2 Zombies
How can a person survive without a head!

Such a weird and terrifying scene made Xie Duan, who had just woken up, frightened half to death. He felt his hair stand on end, and his heart was beating wildly.

Instinctively opened his mouth to shout, but found that his throat was tight and he couldn't shout at all. The surrounding environment seemed virtual and real, like a dream.

"Don't panic, don't panic! It's a dream, it must be a dream, how can you scare me in my dream?"

Xie Duan comforted himself in his heart, and suppressed his fear to calm down.

He pinched his thigh hard, the pain was very real, and he didn't wake up from the dream as expected.

At this moment, he felt that the situation in front of him was not good.

The wing room is not far from the main hall, so the light in front of the main hall can shine here. Although it is not very bright, it is enough to see things.

Because of the aging of the bed board, Xie Duan made some movements in panic. At this time, the person standing at the opposite door seemed to twist his neck and looked towards him.

It seemed to feel being noticed, and in the blink of an eye, the door was empty, and there was no one at all.

Xie Duan was startled, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he has also helped people collect corpses for burial, and has taken away the belongings of the dead, his mental quality is considered good, but one yard counts for one yard, and courage does not mean that he is not afraid of ghosts, and the two cannot be compared.

One is a dead thing, and the other is dead but not completely dead. Anyone who wakes up in the middle of the night and suddenly sees a headless person standing in front of him probably cannot face it calmly.

Xie Duan didn't care too much at this time, taking advantage of this gap, he recovered his strength, got up with his weak legs, and wanted to run away from the door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got to the door, he didn't even pull out the latch, and there was a beating sound of "Du Duan" behind him, and then a big withered hand put on his shoulder. In an instant, Xie Duan lost his strength.

As if struck by lightning, he immediately fell sideways. When he looked, he saw the headless man standing in front of him. His clothes were torn and smelled musty. However, judging from the patterns on the clothes, he looked a bit like an official robe. .

His arms were completely exposed, and his arms were covered with corpse spots. In addition, his skin folds were shriveled and skinny, like a mummy.

Different from the beginning, this time he came with a head.

The head is not on the neck, but is clamped under the armpit with the left arm, facing Xie Duan, the eyes are deeply sunken, and white mist is sprayed from the mouth and nose.

The whole body stood up straight, from top to bottom, it seemed to be stiff.

"Zombie? Headless zombie!"

Xie Duan suddenly popped out these words from the bottom of his heart, and all thoughts were lost.

I don't know if it was because of the over-scaring, or the slap on the shoulder by the headless zombie, Xie Duan only felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier, his consciousness was getting more and more blurred, and he was almost dizzy.

However, at this moment, his chest was inexplicably extremely hot. To be precise, it should be unbearably hot, and it was getting hotter and hotter, as if a charcoal had landed on the skin.

Under the burning pain, it seemed as if something was sucked out of the body, and the whole body felt light and floating, as if suspended on the water.

"Om..."

With a soft beep, Xie Duan's mind suddenly cleared up, but it seemed that someone had poured cold water on his head. Immediately afterwards, he saw two beams of light flying out from the clothes on his chest, and quickly hit the headless zombie.

He could see clearly that what was wrapped in the light beams were the two copper coins he got from burying the corpse earlier.

Originally, I was going to use it to buy food to save my life, but I didn't think that I actually saved my life, it was just a different way.

There were two "pops", the copper coin hit the zombie's heart, the sound was crisp, and when the light burst out, the whole room was illuminated like daylight.

The headless zombie didn't have time to react, it was suddenly hit by this blow, but saw a cloud of black air gushing out from its neck, as if it was attracted by some kind, it was submerged into a copper coin in a blink of an eye.

As soon as the cloud of black air came out, the headless zombie immediately fell backwards, becoming a thoroughly dead corpse, unable to move any more.

The two copper coins hovered for a circle, and then settled in the midair. There were two faint rays of light, one black and one white, drawing a circle around the copper coin, and the two copper coins became two holes in the circle.

At first glance, it looks somewhat similar to the Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram.

This situation lasted for a while, and then the light quickly dissipated, and there were two "ding dings", and the copper coin seemed to have self-awareness, falling from the midair, unbiased, and just landed on the ground in front of Xie Duan.

At the same time, Xie Duan was taken aback, his numb body regained consciousness, and he was able to make a sound when he opened his mouth.

He first reached out and rubbed his burning chest, then picked up the two copper coins that fell in front of him, held them tightly in the palm of his hand, and quickly got up from the ground.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xie Duan had a look of horror on his face.

He hurriedly pulled out the latch, opened the door, shouted "there is a ghost", and rushed towards the main hall in the rain.

Although the mountain temple is dilapidated, because there are temple guards guarding it, the incense has never been cut off. The main hall where the statue is enshrined is always brightly lit no matter it is night or day.

Xie Duan ran into the main hall, and the first thing he saw was the statue of the mountain god, wearing black light armor, holding a mountain ax in his right hand, and holding a green mountain in his left hand, with a majestic face and a heroic look.

There are zombies in your small temple, you can still sit still, you are worthy of being a mountain god, and you are as immovable as a mountain!

But complaints belong to complaints, but Xie Duan did not dare to show any disrespect.

Looking around, I saw another side room on the left side of the hall, and a bamboo curtain hung upside down to separate the room from the main hall.

Xie Duan didn't care about etiquette, he rushed in and woke up the old man.

The old man Zhang was sleeping soundly, when he was suddenly woken up by Xie Duan, he seemed a little confused, and he didn't know anything about the affairs outside the palace.

When Xie Duan talked about his experience just now, apart from being shocked, he couldn't believe it.

It wasn't until Xie Duan pulled him up to look outside the door of the wing room that he was convinced that what he said was true. It was really scary to think about it in the middle of the night.

Faced with this scene, old man Zhang was also taken aback, but his ability to accept was obviously not weak, and he quickly calmed down.

In order to prevent any change, he locked the door again, took some joss stick paper money and burned it outside the door, and waited until dawn to deal with it separately.

Scared by this, Xie Duan couldn't fall asleep anymore, and couldn't hurry on his way in the middle of the night, so he simply dragged the old man to sit in the ear room of the hall, and asked about the reason of this incident.

Regarding this matter, the old man did not hide anything. Judging from his attitude towards this matter from the beginning, it was obvious that he was well aware of it.

Speaking of the person in the room, he was actually quite miserable, dying aggrievedly.

Eight years ago, a rare severe drought broke out in the Jiangzhou area. The land was parched and starvation was everywhere. It can be described as tragic.

The imperial court sent an official to provide relief, and the nearby state capital dispatched food to save lives. This person was the food escort officer who escorted the food, because the food was robbed on the way, and his head was not saved.

As the saying goes: the soul returns to the hometown, and the fallen leaves return to the roots!
His family traveled thousands of miles to Jiangzhou, hired a carriage, and took his body back to his hometown for burial, but halfway through the transportation, they found that they had insufficient funds and could no longer pay for the carriage, but there was still more than half of the journey. There is really no way out.

In desperation, he temporarily lodged the corpse in this mountain temple, thinking of going home to get the money, and then come back to pick it up.

But whoever thought of going this way never came back, and I don't know if they forgot or didn't want to pick it up.

Although a person is dead, he is still an official, so the old man dare not bury it without authorization. If one day his relatives come to ask him for someone, but he can't hand it over, he has done something bad with good intentions.

So it has been left in the house like this, and it has been eight years in a blink of an eye.
