Chapter 340 Black Jade Box
I held the phone in a daze, and didn't even notice that Fatty Wang hung up the phone.

"What's the matter, what happened?" Zhen Qingyi asked with concern.

"You have a medical heritage, have you ever heard of such a thing as walking corpse plague?" I asked sideways.

"Walking corpse plague?" Zhen Qingyi frowned slightly, lowering his head and talking to himself.

At this time, Lao Liu's mobile phone rang suddenly, and he answered the call with the mobile phone, his expression changed suddenly.

"Sorry, the team called just now, saying that more than a dozen people were rushed to the hospital, suspected of being poisoned, I have to go and have a look." Lao Liu hurriedly finished, turned and ran out the door.

I looked stunned, but I immediately realized that this was probably the "walking corpse plague" that Fatty Wang said.

Thinking of the words that perverted beautician said before he died, an ominous premonition rose in my heart.

"I remembered, there is a book about this matter, wait for me to go in and look it up." Zhen Qingyi walked quickly to the study.

"What happened?" Ghost Detective Xu had doubts in his eyes.

"It's not sure yet, if it's really walking corpse plague, then things will be troublesome." I replied with a frown.

While chatting, Zhen Qingyi held a book in both hands and walked down the stairs. When she went downstairs, her eyes were still fixed on the book.

"Have you found any records about the plague of walking corpses?" I greeted him and asked hurriedly.

"I found it. It is near our county seat. More than 300 years ago, there was a plague of walking corpses." Zhen Qingyi raised his head, looked at me and said.

"How is it written, let me see." I leaned my head over and looked at the book Zhen Qingyi was holding.

"The records in the book are not very detailed, and after such a long time, many things have been covered up, and there is no way to verify the above records." Zhen Qingyi pointed to a passage in the book.

I looked intently, and found that what was recorded in the book was an essay written by a traveling doctor, which briefly described the corpse plague he personally experienced.

Walking corpse plague is also a kind of plague, but unlike diseases like influenza, this plague is man-made, and once it spreads, it is even more terrifying than leprosy.

My second uncle and I have never experienced the plague of walking corpses. We have seen many things from your ancient books handed down by our ancestors.

It is said that people who have been infected with corpse plague will vomit non-stop at first, then their complexion will turn blue, and their whole body will twitch continuously until they become unconscious.

The harm of this terrible plague is not only that it will kill a large number of people, but also because of the corpse plague, there are a lot of corpses in the body. If it is not handled correctly, there is a great possibility that the corpse will change. That is the "deceitful corpse" in the old population.

In the book in Zhen Qingyi's hand, the description of the plague of walking corpses used words such as "corpses are strewn all over the field, and the stench is unpleasant", and it also mentioned horror incidents such as "zombies cannibalizing people, and a hundred corpses walking at night".

I don't know if the situation recorded above is exaggerated or not, but the description of corpse plague in the Broken Book of Phrases is also described as "extremely terrifying, a purgatory on earth".

Fatty Wang obtained the complete inheritance of the Zhu family. Since he said that it might be the plague of walking corpses, there is an [-]% chance that it is true.

Whether the specific situation is serious or not, and whether the plague has spread on a large scale, I need to see it myself before I can draw a conclusion.

Ghost Detective Xu has never heard of the "Walking Corpse Plague", nor does he have a clear understanding of the horror of this plague.

However, when he saw Zhen Qingyi and me, he looked dignified. He also knew that things might be difficult, so he kept watching this side with concern.

"I'll look for it again to see if there are any other books that record walking corpse plague." After Zhen Qingyi finished speaking, he hurried upstairs with the book.

She inherited the medical lineage, and she has some ancient books left by Ghost Shouzhang in her hands, and there may be more detailed records of walking corpse plague on them.

I took out a cigarette, handed Ghost Detective Xu one, walked to the window, and lit the cigarette in my hand.

"Walking Corpse Plague is terrible?" Ghost Detective Xu asked suspiciously.

"It's very scary. If the source cannot be controlled, the consequences will be disastrous." My face froze.

Different from other plagues, the walking corpse plague is a man-made plague. There must be a source of spreading the corpse plague. If it cannot be found, the scope of the plague will continue to expand.

On the stairs, there was the sound of Zhen Qingyi's hurried footsteps. While she was nervous, she was also a little excited.

"What's the matter?" I cast my puzzled eyes over, not knowing why she had such an expression.

"I discovered a secret." Zhen Qingyi said mysteriously.

"What secret is it about corpse plague?" I asked curiously.

Zhen Qingyi nodded, raised a yellowed booklet in his hand, and said: "This booklet is put together with the book just now. I didn't pay attention at first. I just flipped through it. It turns out that this booklet is a note of experience recorded by the senior who experienced the corpse plague."

"Is there a detailed record about that corpse plague?" I asked with some expectation.

How to deal with corpse plague, I have no experience at all, and it is vague and incomplete in the dilapidated scriptures. If I can get the experience of that senior, it would be great.

"Have you ever heard of the Black Jade Box?" Zhen Qingyi asked suddenly.

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect the secret in her mouth to be this thing, the black jade box is not a jade box, it is the name of a coffin.

I also saw a description of this kind of thing by chance in the Broken Physiologia, not to mention the real thing, I haven't even seen an illustration, because the black jade box is really too rare.

It is said that more than a thousand years ago, in addition to the four schools of witchcraft, medicine, Xiang, and Zhu, there was another powerful school called Chi.

This mysterious school is said to have flowed in from the underworld, because only the dead can practice the secret arts inside.

And the Black Jade Box is a sacrificial vessel made by this school, and it can be said to be the source of inheritance of this school.

When a person who has just died is put into a black jade box, and then buried in a place of evil spirits, after five to seven thirty-five days, the dead person will wake up.

People who have been resurrected from the dead are different from zombies and living dead. Their biggest feature is that they can freely travel between Yin and Yang.

This school was prosperous for a while, and even had a tendency to replace the Wumen for a while, but for some reason, this mysterious school suddenly disappeared within a short period of 20 years.

Of course, it is not accurate to say that it is dying, it should be said that it is falling apart.

The current Exorcism Sect is a branch of this sect, a part of the secret arts.

"Could it be that the corpse plague hundreds of years ago was caused by the black jade box?" I looked at Zhen Qingyi with a questioning look.

"The senior wrote in his notes that the corpse plague happened because a lunatic at the corpse gate wanted to use the black jade box to obtain the complete inheritance of the gate." Zhen Qingyi handed me the booklet .

"And then?" I flipped through the booklet and asked casually.

"It seems that there was a fight, and that lunatic failed, but before he died, he used a forbidden technique to create a plague of corpses." Zhen Qingyi said.

I fixed my gaze, and happened to turn to the pamphlet, which contained a detailed record of the corpse plague that year.

The general process was similar to what Zhen Qingyi said, it was nothing more than the appearance of the Black Jade Casket, everyone fought for it, and the loser went crazy at the end of his life, trying to pull some backs, so a corpse plague was triggered.

It is also recorded later that the senior's experience in dealing with corpse plague is simple and practical, which surprised me quite a bit.

"But what caused this corpse plague?" I frowned and said to myself.

"Is it also related to the black jade box?" Zhen Qingyi guessed.

"What are you talking about? I can't understand at all. What is the Black Jade Box?" Ghost Detective Xu asked in a daze.

"The Black Jade Box, simply put, is an evil weapon that can bring the dead back to life." Zhen Qingyi explained concisely.

"My god, the resurrection of the dead, if it's really so miraculous, why don't you fight for it?" Ghost detective Xu was dumbfounded.

"It may not be the real resurrection. How about the specifics? Everyone has never seen the real thing, so there is no need to make wild guesses." I patted Ghost Tan Xu on the shoulder.

"Then what should we do now?" Ghost Detective Xu asked in a daze.

"Go to the hospital first, maybe it's a false alarm, what if it's some other contagious virus?" I said, handing back the pamphlet in my hand to Zhen Qingyi.

"Don't go yet, I'll go with you later." Zhen Qingyi took the brochure and walked to the study on the second floor.

When we rushed to the hospital, we happened to see Fatty Wang coming out of the gate.

I parked the car in an empty space and called Fatty Wang loudly.

Fatty Wang turned his head and saw us, rubbed his belly, walked over and said, "I'm so busy with work, Fatty hasn't even had dinner yet, why are you here?"

"Come and have a look, you don't know much about medicine, what do you need to do?" I asked curiously.

"Hey, don't mention it, Fatty deserves to be unlucky today." Fatty Wang sighed.

My curiosity was aroused at once, and I urged Fatty Wang not to be impatient, and to tell the story quickly.

"By the way, after you guys left, I originally planned to leave, but when I was leaving, I met a middle-aged man who hurried over to see that goatee doctor. Do you know what I saw when I glanced over?" Fatty Wang It's sold out.

"What did you see?" Ghost Detective Xu came over and asked very cooperatively.

Fatty Wang smiled mysteriously, and looked at us with "you guessed it" eyes.

"Do you owe me a beating? Say it quickly." I raised my fist.

"The man who came to see the doctor has no soul." Fatty Wang lowered his voice and said in a deliberately terrifying tone.

"Ah! People don't have souls, don't they just die?" Zhen Qingyi let out a low exclamation.

"You mean, you saw a living corpse?" My eyelids twitched and I asked Fatty Wang.

"That's right, as soon as that guy got close, I smelled the stench of corpses from him, and I almost vomited my lunch." Fatty Wang made a disgusted expression.

"And then?" I asked.

"That guy is a little strange. He doesn't seem to know that he is dead, and he still asks Goatee for soul chasing ointment." Fatty Wang narrated.

"That's strange, soul-chasing ointment won't turn people into living corpses." I frowned and muttered to myself.

"There are even more strange ones." Fatty Wang said this, and made another trick.
