Wang Qingshan did not dare to neglect and told what happened in detail.
"Tomb robbery, the body is missing!" Wang Changsheng had a thoughtful look on his face after listening to Wang Qingshan's statement.
The grave of an elder named Wang was dug up and his body was missing. It didn't take long for zombies to appear.
As far as Wang Changsheng knows, zombies are divided into innate and acquired zombies. Innate zombies have a very low chance of forming, while acquired zombies are artificially refined zombies.
Generally speaking, young and strong corpses will be selected for the zombies to be refined the day after tomorrow. However, the dead clan elder is very old, so who will use it to refine the corpse.
"When was the body stolen? Show me Qingyan's birth date."
"August 15th, this is my cousin's birthday." Wang Qingshan took out the prepared letter paper from his sleeve and handed it over.
Wang Changsheng was a little surprised and said, "Did you know that I want to read the birth date?"
Wang Qingshan nodded and said seriously: "After all, our ancestors had immortal cultivators, so they know something about this kind of thing."
Wang Changsheng glanced at the contents on the letter and started counting with his right hand.
"He was born on a yin day in a yin year and a yin month. It seems that most of the corpses turned into zombies when they found the moonlight." Wang Changsheng suddenly realized.
People born in a yin year with a yin moon and a yin day have relatively strong yin energy. If they happen to be illuminated by the moonlight on a full moon night, they can easily turn into zombies.
"Put these corpses on lychee wood and burn them immediately. In addition, buy more glutinous rice. Glutinous rice can prevent zombies. Try to prepare some glutinous rice for every household. Also, take me to Qingyan's house to see."
"Qiu Guang, Qiu Ming, you two organize the tribesmen to put the corpses on lychee wood and burn them. Tenth brother and thirteenth brother, you send people to various places to purchase glutinous rice. The more the better." Wang Qingshan ordered in an orderly manner.
"Yes, Bage (eighth uncle)." The clan elders agreed one after another.
Wang Changsheng followed Wang Qingshan to a large yard with several peach trees planted in the yard. The house, tables, chairs and benches were all made of peach wood. In addition, the house faced the east and had plenty of sunlight.
Wang Changsheng nodded secretly, Wang Qingyan was born on a yin day in a yin year, and the yin energy is relatively strong. This kind of constitution generally does not live long. Wang Qingyan can live to be more than sixty years old. First, because his name contains the word "焱", the three balls of fire weakened him. Yin Qi, and secondly, his residence has a strong Yang Qi, and the peach tree belongs to Yang. The century-old peach wood can be used to make peach wood swords to drive away ghosts and monsters.
"By the way, Qing Yan's physique is a bit special, and it is easy for him to transform into a corpse. Why didn't he burn the corpse? Instead, he buried it in the ground?" Wang Changsheng asked the question in his mind.
Since Wang Qingyan's elders know how to plant peach trees and use peach blossom wood for furniture, they should know that people born on a yin day in a yin year and a yin day are prone to corpse transformation after death. Logically speaking, the corpses should be burned.
Wang Qingshan smiled bitterly and explained: "My second uncle and the others left a last word that my cousin must be cremated after his death and cannot be buried in the ground. However, my cousin's three sons refused to agree and said that after death, he should be buried in peace and cannot be burned. The three brothers insisted repeatedly, but the nephew couldn't resist them, so he had to let them bury his cousin in the family cemetery. Unexpectedly, his cousin's body had undergone a transformation. If he had known this, the nephew would have buried his cousin's body no matter what. The body was burned.”
To be honest, Wang Qingshan did not take his elders' wills to heart before. This concept is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the older generation. Wang Qingshan also wanted to be buried in the family cemetery after his death. If his attitude had been tougher back then, , maybe there won’t be zombies.
When he thought of this, Wang Qingshan regretted it.
"Three sons, the eldest son's family has been killed, and the other two sons are here!"
"My cousin's second son Qiu Mao went to the county town yesterday for urgent business. He just came back this morning. His third son Qiu Sheng is on business abroad and cannot be contacted." Wang Qingshan answered truthfully.
Wang Changsheng thought for a while and ordered: "Send someone to clean the yard and let Qiu Mao's family move in. If Qingyan really turns into a zombie, he will definitely come back to murder Qiu Mao. I will wait and wait. In addition, leave the Qiu Mao family behind." All the tribesmen in the mountains have to withdraw."
"It's okay to let Qiumao's family move in, but for a while, we won't be able to notify the clan members who remain in the mountains, and we don't know their specific location."
"Send me some guides, preferably ones that are prestigious and can convince other tribesmen of me."
Wang Qingshan fully agreed and sent three tribesmen to follow Wang Changsheng, and Wang Tiande was one of them.
Wang Changsheng used the art of soaring into the clouds and flying into the mist, carrying the three tribesmen and flying towards the mountains.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was shining brightly.
A total of fifteen clan members were stranded in the mountains. Wang Changsheng found twelve of them one after another. They obeyed the clan elders and left the mountains.
The sun was very strong, and the accompanying clan elder was old. He was dizzy after being exposed to the scorching sun for a while, and almost fell off the white clouds. Fortunately, Wang Tiande supported the clan elder.
Wang Changsheng saw a temple below, made a seal with one hand, and white clouds slowly landed in the temple.
This is an abandoned temple, overgrown with weeds.
"Hey, someone is lying on the ground." Wang Tiande saw two men lying on the ground and walked over quickly.
"He's dead. There are two bloody holes on his neck. He was probably bitten to death by zombies." Wang Tiande said with some regret.
"There is peace and security, hey, I didn't expect them to be killed by zombies." The clan elder saw the faces of the two corpses clearly, sighed, and said with some heartache.
Wang Changsheng frowned and ordered: "Burn the corpse immediately, otherwise it will transform into a corpse, and then there will be two more zombies."
Wang Tiande responded, and he and two other tribesmen first placed the elder in a shady place, then picked up some dry firewood, piled it on top of the body, and lit it.
The fire quickly grew and burned the bodies.
"Qingyuan, there is still one person who has not been found. Do you remember his name? Where do you think he is?" Wang Changsheng asked.
"Remember, it's Wang Youen, the great-grandson of the fifteenth brother. This kid has not listened to discipline since he was a child. He has been cheating and playing tricks. He is probably hiding in a shady place to enjoy the cool air!" Wang Qingyuan answered truthfully.
"Enjoying the coolness?" Wang Changsheng frowned.
Zombies usually stay in cool places. Wang Youen wouldn't go to the zombies' habitat to enjoy the coolness, right
"Besides Wang Youen, are there any clan members left in the mountains?"
Wang Qingyuan thought for a while and said: "Yes, there are several quarries here. The two largest quarries belong to our Wang family. There are hundreds of people quarrying in the quarries."
"Quarry? Where?"
"Out of the town, one is more than twenty miles to the west, and the other is more than thirty miles to the east. The people in charge are the Qiu generation, the second son of the seventh brother and the third son of the sixth brother."
Wang Changsheng nodded and rested for half an hour. He used the soaring cloud and mist technique to go to the two quarries of the Wang family and asked Wang Qingyuan to send away the quarrying clan members.
Afterwards, he sent Wang Qingyuan and others back to Qingshi Town, took Wang Tiande and Wang Youen's father with him, and searched for Wang Youen in the mountains.
There are many caves in the mountains. He visited dozens of caves but found no whereabouts of Wang Youen.
When Wang Changsheng returned to Qingshi Town, it was already dusk.
Qingshi Town is brightly lit, with dozens of young people carrying torches.
After dinner, Wang Changsheng stayed at Wang Qiumao's house.
Every household has prepared black dog blood and sprinkled glutinous rice in front of the door. Each household has a young man on duty. The young man holds a gong in his hand. He will sound the gong to warn against zombies.
As time passed, the sky became darker and darker, and the doors of every house were closed. Some people could not bear the sleepiness and fell asleep.
Wang Qiumao's family of seven gathered in the house. The two young children had fallen asleep, but the adults did not feel sleepy at all.
Wang Qiumao felt extremely heavy. He knew that his father had turned into a zombie and came back to kill his eldest brother.
He is now being used as bait to lure his zombie-turned-father.
Yu Gong, he is a member of the Wang family and should obey the instructions of his elders. Yu Zi, the zombie is his father, so he, as a child, is asked to lure out his father. He feels in his heart that he is a little unfilial. Of course, he is also a little scared.
Wang Changsheng sat cross-legged on the straw mat with his eyes slightly closed.
Wang Qiumao hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while, and said cautiously: "Uncle Ninth, will my father really come tonight?"
"I don't know. Just destroy it when it comes. It's not your father anymore. Don't worry about it. As long as I'm here, I will protect you."
Wang Qiumao felt relieved after receiving Wang Changsheng's promise.
At this moment, the sound of gongs was heard outside.
The sound was quiet at first, but soon it became louder and louder.
"You guys stay in the house and don't run around. I'll go out and take a look. If a zombie shows up, splash it with black dog blood. There are glutinous rice scattered around the house. Zombies shouldn't dare to come near here."
Wang Changsheng warned and rushed out.
As soon as he rushed out of the yard, Wang Qiusheng, Wang Qingshan and others gathered around him, and everyone looked extremely nervous.
"Don't panic, don't panic, where are the zombies? Where are they?" Wang Changsheng asked calmly.
"This..." Wang Qingshan and others looked at each other. They heard the sound of beating gongs and rushed over immediately. They didn't know where the zombies were.
