Peerless little Shennong

Chapter 553 Restraint

There is an elf called Zishu who urges Lu Xiaobei to practice, so he can avoid many detours.

After getting things ready, Lu Xiaobei drove directly to Dongshan City Economic Development Zone at [-]:[-] pm according to the address sent back by Zishu's siblings.

This time, Lu Xiaobei was alone when he came out to catch red-eyed zombies.

He didn't bring Beifeng with him, and he didn't ask for help.

Because he didn't want to hurt others, and others would distract him if he followed, so it was better to make a quick decision and leave after getting the blood of the red-eyed zombie.

According to Zishu, the appearance of zombies is generally related to evil spirits.

Furthermore, things like zombies will choose dry places to survive.

The drier the place, the heavier its evil spirit.

There is a record in the "Shen Yi Jing", which roughly describes the physical characteristics of zombies.

The content of the record is that there is a man in the south, two or three feet long, with a bare body, with his eyes hanging down, walking like the wind.The name is Ba, and the country I see is severely drought.

It can be roughly seen from this record that this kind of thing called 魃 is a zombie.

Many unofficial histories also mentioned the story that zombies would emerge after several years of severe drought in ancient dynasties.

Yuan Mei's "Zibuyu" and Ji Xiaolan's "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes", these two books can be said to be the most comprehensive summary of zombies.

In both books, though, the zombie wasn't called that at the time.

Most of the literature records use the three names of moving corpse, walking shadow and walking corpse.

However, no matter what kind of unofficial historical documents, the formation of zombies can basically be defined as a process of corpse transformation.

This kind of corpse transformation was formed in the corpse breeding ground, which is also the most scientific explanation.

The soil layer in the cadaver area is unevenly distributed, and the pH is unbalanced. Many plants are not suitable for growth, so that organic matter will not be produced, and the corresponding ant insect bacteria will not be produced. After the corpse is buried in the ground, due to the distribution of the soil layer Unevenness causes the muscles and hair of the corpse not to rot, and correspondingly allows the nails of the corpse to continue to grow, so most of the zombie images appear with long nails.

Once the corpses in the corpse farm undergo a corpse transformation, they absorb Yang Qi and quickly achieve corpse transformation with the help of people's "anger".

Here is the process of generating zombies.

According to Zishu's confession, Lu Xiaobei not only prepared iron nets and short knives, but also prepared things to restrain zombies.

Dealing with zombies is also recorded in many documents.

The most common is the mirror.

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" mentioned that the mirror is the essence of gold and water, bright inside and dark outside. The principle used to deal with zombies is actually inseparable from the five elements.

The essence of gold and water refers to the fact that metallic things are the most domineering in restraining many evil spirits.

This principle is not difficult to understand.

The texture of gold is the hardest, especially the magic weapons are mostly gold.

A magical weapon that cuts iron like mud, tainted with a lot of murderous aura, it is perfect for dealing with zombies.

In addition to the most commonly used mirrors, peach branches or peach wood swords made of pure peach wood are next.

It is said in "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" that peaches, the essence of the five elements, can overcome evil spirits and control ghosts.

Among the many versions of ghost stories, almost nine out of ten have mentioned how things like mahogany can restrain ghosts.

Therefore, in the public consciousness, mahogany is used as a magic weapon to overcome ghosts.

But many people don't know the origin of this saying.

Why did Taomu restrain ghosts?

The reason is actually inseparable from the legend of mahogany to ward off evil spirits.

Peach wood to ward off evil spirits is actually related to the legend of descendants.

According to ancient books, the descendant was killed by a peach stick. After his death, he was named Zongbu God.

God Zongbu often leads a little tiger under a peach tree to test the little ghost.

Just by smelling it, you can tell if it is an evil spirit. If it is an evil spirit, the little tiger he leads will eat the evil spirit.

Therefore, the legend of Zongbu god testing evil ghosts under the peach tree influenced the ghosts, and this made the theory of Taomu overcome ghosts.

In addition, the saying that peach wood wards off evil spirits is said to have something to do with Kuafu.

The story of Kuafu chasing the sun is familiar. Kuafu chasing the sun died of hunger and thirst. When he was dying, he threw the wooden stick in his hand.He did this so that future generations could eat sweet peaches after chasing the sun.

Because Kuafu is closely related to the sun, and ghosts are most afraid of the sun, and ghosts are also afraid of the peach forest that Kuafu's wooden stick turned into.

That's why there is a saying that ghosts are afraid of Taomu.

In addition to peach wood, chickens can also be used to restrain zombies.

Crowing can scare ghosts.

It is recorded in Yuan Mei's "Zi Bu Yu" that ghosts shrank when they heard the crow of a rooster.

In addition to the above things, date stones can also restrain zombies.

Seven plump jujube cores are used to nail into the acupuncture points on the back of the corpse, so as to directly restrict the zombie's activities.

According to Zishu's method, Lu Xiaobei prepared these things just in case.

At 08:30 in the evening, a mass grave in Dongshan Economic Development Zone.

There are bungalows and cottages all around here, this time is as quiet as before, because it is far away from the urban area, there will be no scenes of heavy traffic.

This place is in line with the characteristics of drought, and the evil spirit of the random graves is very heavy.

After Lu Xiaobei arrived at this place, he immediately activated his clairvoyant eyes to observe the surrounding situation.

The mass graves seem to be very barren, and the burial in the countryside is no better than in the city. There is no decent garden cemetery, so I choose to find a cemetery in my own mountain or on the mountain to bury the dead.

Over time, some graves became cemeteries after they became large-scale.

To the north of this random graveyard is a small hillside, and it is barren for several miles.

This is the message sent back by the rats of Zishu, so the address can't be wrong.

The rats of Zishu must have seen the red-eyed zombie, so they reported it to the boss of Zishu.

As for how Zishu communicated with those little mice, this was not in the category of Lu Xiaobei's concern.

He only knows that Zishu is the boss of the Chinese zodiac and has the ability to summon many rats.

Feeling in the dark, Lu Xiaobei slowly searched for the red-eyed zombies in the mass graves.

Because it is not clear when the red-eyed zombie will appear, Lu Xiaobei can only choose to wait slowly.

It's not a good feeling to stay alone in Luan Mound, or at night.

If it weren't for Lu Xiaobei's cultivation base not to be afraid of zombies and ghosts, he really wouldn't have the guts to mess around with graves.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and nothing special happened.

The dry graveyard is very cloudy, so Lu Xiaobei had no choice but to release the fire-type aura to drive away the cloud.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Lu Xiaobei suddenly noticed a dark shadow passing by a grave to the north.

"Is it here?" Lu Xiaobei hurriedly carried the equipment on his back and touched it quietly.

When there were still more than ten meters away from that place, Lu Xiaobei slowly poked his head out from the grave in front of him.

When he used his clairvoyant skills to see clearly what was in front of him, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

What the hell is this motherfucker?This beard, this hair is too long!

Lu Xiaobei was so frightened by the inexplicable ghost in front of him that he sat down on the ground, and the soil on the grave was thrown down by him.

In fact, it was mainly because Lu Xiaobei couldn't bear it all of a sudden, the things in front of him were beyond what he could normally see and hear, so at first glance he must be scared.
