The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 195 Living Zombie

It's a pity that Fifth Lady thought that Shi Wei was talking too much, so she sternly stopped her from talking nonsense.

Xia Xiangxi wanted to hear more stories about Qingyan who had the same appearance as her, but now she could only resist the impulse and listen to what Wu Niangniang said she was going to tell.

Wu Niangniang said: "When I was in trouble and lost my way in the mountains, I met my master and was rescued by her old man. Later, she passed on my mantle, so I stayed here to continue guarding this place for my master. Her old man told me that once the entire coffin village The catastrophe that happened by fate could have been solved by the head-down master named Qingyan. Unfortunately, Qingyan died tragically, and the hope of the whole village of Coffin Village was cut off. More than 20 years ago, my master entrusted me with a dream, The person who said he could save the coffin village has reappeared, and told me that the savior of the coffin village is exactly the same as Qingyan in this old photo..."

Xia Xiangxi has already heard from Shi Wei that the ghost mother-in-law is the master of Wu Niangniang, and that ghost mother-in-law is now half a ghost messenger in the underworld. , is not surprising.But what is the disaster in this coffin village?
Xia Xiangxi listened to the Fifth Lady's continuation.

But Wu Niangniang called those people around her to Xia Xiangxi, and let Xia Xiangxi see how they are different from ordinary people?

Xia Xiangxi saw that these people's faces were pale and bloodless, like living ghosts, but he couldn't see anything else.

Wu Niangniang asked those people to open their mouths again, and Xia Xiangxi saw that the teeth of these people in front of him were different from those of ordinary people, and they all had two fangs that zombies only have!

Living Zombies!
Shi Wei shivered in fright, and subconsciously touched her own neck with her hands, knowing that zombies like to bite people's necks the most.

Xia Xiangxi soon calmed down, and she began to understand why the coffin village was brightly lit at night?There are still white lanterns hanging at the door!

Zombies are afraid of red, and so are living zombies.The lights here are brightly lit at night because zombies can only come out at night.It seems that this coffin village is not a ghost village, and it's not too bad!
Wu Niangniang admitted all of Xia Xiangxi's judgments.

It turned out that this coffin village was originally the place where the guardians of a tomb in ancient times lived. As for who the tomb they guarded belonged to, Wu Niangniang refused to disclose it. This is a family secret, so it is naturally impossible to tell outsiders casually.Xia Xiangxi could guess, but the tomb was guarded by so many people, and it must be the royal family.

In the past, the men in Coffin Village farmed and women weaved, and they were no different from normal people. Later, because of an accident that happened to the ghost mother-in-law while she was alive, the whole village became like living zombies. Life.In the past, there were still many people in Coffin Village, and there were hundreds of people. The people here also intermarried with people from other villages, and they could also marry outsiders after giving birth to daughters. After that accident, there were no more women outside the village. If you dare to marry here, the daughter of the village can't marry outside.In order to allow the children and grandchildren in this village to continue to multiply, the villagers in this village began to intermarry, and the children born will inevitably continue to look like living zombies of their parents.

Now in this village, except for the elderly and surviving, there are middle-aged people in their 40s and 80s. Since the [-]s, the number of babies born in this village can already be counted on your fingers.Except for those who died young, the children born were deformed freaks.The reason for this is the strange disease that has plagued Coffin Village for decades, and the other reason is that parents with children are afraid that their daughters will marry off, but their sons cannot find a wife. Marry, let your own son marry your own daughter.

Xia Xiangxi sighed when he heard this. Marriage of close relatives within three generations is not allowed, and it is easy to give birth to freaks, let alone brothers and sisters who are connected by flesh and blood?
Shi Wei was more emotional than Xia Xiangxi, so she exclaimed directly, and said, "How is this possible? Isn't it stipulated by the law that close relatives cannot marry? Let alone brothers and sisters? How did they get married? Will the Civil Affairs Bureau issue a marriage certificate?"

Seeing that Wu Niangniang's complexion turned bad instantly, Xia Xiangxi hastily pulled Shi Wei's clothes to signal her not to talk so much.

After Wu Niangniang glared at Shi Wei, she might be afraid that Xia Xiangxi would be confused, so she explained: "People here are isolated from the outside world, and the principles that the outside world needs are completely different from here. The young people in the village grow up to ten years old. At the age of seven or eight, if the parents make a marriage agreement with outsiders, the whole village will sit together to eat and drink, and the two children will be considered married. If there are self-married, the mother will push the daughter to the In my son's house, rice will be cooked as soon as the sky is bright."

Xia Xiangxi nodded, and almost understood that the ethics and morals of the outside world cannot be brought here. People obey the environment, and what kind of environment breeds what kind of life.Before the Marriage Law restricted the marriage of close relatives, didn't people's consciousness still exist at the level of close relatives?Prohibited by the law, the marriage of close relatives really started to become a taboo!
So in the eyes of outsiders, the people here may be corrupt, but in the eyes of the villagers here, survival and continuation are the first rules they must obey.Just like people will be hungry when they are hungry, probably this kind of truth can be explained here.

At this moment, Xia Xiangxi almost understood what Wu Niangniang wanted her to do, which was to help the people in Coffin Village get rid of the fate of being living zombies for generations!
Wu Niangniang nodded and said: "In order to treat the people here, I raised corpse monkeys, and asked corpse monkeys to help me collect the blood pills from the ancient corpses, and then refine medicines. But those medicines I practiced can only suppress the people in the village. The poisonousness in people spreads and cannot go to the root..."

Xia Xiangxi's complexion changed, and Shi Wei and Shi Wei exchanged glances. They always thought that the corpse monkey was used by Wu Niangniang to harm people, but she didn't expect that she used the corpse monkey to refine medicine for the people in the coffin village. It's a pity to think of the corpse monkey's death.

Xia Xiangxi said: "But although I know some witchcraft, I am not very good at it. I only learned some superficial aspects of my master. I am afraid that I am not so powerful to do things that even ghost mothers-in-law can't do!"

Wu Niangniang said: "My master said that you are the one who can help Coffin Village survive the disaster, so you must be. If you don't want to help this help, then you will never even think about leaving this village. Coffin Village , you are your living coffin!" Finally, Wu Niangniang's voice was already shrill like a female ghost.

Xia Xiangxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she was promoted to the position of savior for no reason, and she didn't have a ladder, didn't she deliberately want to throw her to death?

Wu Niangniang said: "This ancestral hall will be where you live in the future. Whenever you think of a way to save the villagers, you can leave." After finishing speaking, Wu Niangniang stood up and said to the villagers behind her, " Be optimistic about them, whether you can end the century-old catastrophe depends entirely on this girl!"

When Wu Niangniang said this, the effect could be imagined. The zombie-like villager immediately took Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei as prisoners.

Before Wu Niangniang left, she added another sentence to Xia Xiangxi, saying: "My master said, if you can save the people in the village, you will definitely be able to save them. This way of saving does not necessarily depend on your own way of doing things. , or just a chance, you can go around the village, maybe you can find that chance!"

Because of Wu Niangniang's words, Xia Xiangxi immediately thought of Feng Shui!Could it be that the feng shui in this village has changed, so that everyone in this village has become a living zombie?After the idea was born, Xia Xiangxi denied it again, Feng Shui is about the fate of people and the fate of the dead.The fierce feng shui can only turn the dead into zombies, there is no possibility of turning the living into zombies!

Xia Xiangxi suddenly thought of a possibility, and was about to tell Wu Niangniang, but she had already walked away.Xia Xiangxi looked at Wu Niangniang's back, approached Shi Wei with a slightly changed expression, and said, "Have you noticed that Wu Niangniang also has no shadow..."

Shi Wei's expression also changed instantly.
