When the food was on the table, the village chief found an excuse to pay his wife.
After confirming that his wife left the yard, the village chief smiled awkwardly at us and said: "My old woman, I honked the horn on my mouth. If we want to say something later, if we let her know, it is estimated that the whole village will have it tomorrow. It's boiling."
He poured a glass of wine for each of us, and while motioning us to eat, the village head preached: "I believe you should be a little curious about why most people in our village are named Li, but our village is called Wujiacun. "
"I'm really a little curious, is there a story in this?" While talking, I sandwiched a piece of bacon and put it in my mouth. To be honest, the bacon at the village chief's house tasted a bit salty.
"The name Wujia Village actually comes from Wujiapu, and Wujiapu was a bandit den. According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty, the bandits in Wujiapu were the most rampant. They not only killed people and grabbed food, they also dug people's ancient tombs everywhere. To steal valuable funerary objects from the grave."
After drinking a glass of wine with us, the village chief continued to say: “One night, the third master of Wujiabao took a group of people to excavate a former tomb, but this tomb is a bit special. There is nothing in the ancient tomb except a coffin."
"The third master of Wujiapu originally planned to leave, but the sharp-eyed bandit found a bronze mirror under the coffin. This bronze mirror is different from ordinary bronze mirrors. The bronze mirrors are made very beautifully, on the bottom surface of the bronze mirror. There is also a pattern similar to Tai Chi."
"Because it is an ancient tomb, I saw that the bronze mirror is exquisite. The third master estimated that the bronze mirror should be very valuable, so he put it away. In addition, because of the gain, the third master left in no hurry, so he ordered someone to open it. I found the coffin. Inside the coffin was a corpse that hadn't completely decomposed."
"It is rumored in our village that the bones of this corpse are still covered with skin, and the skin is black. In addition, a long string of red hair grows on the chest of the corpse."
"Red hair?" Ma Yuzhi interrupted when he heard the village chief's words: "Red hair must represent the red zombies."
"It should be a red-haired zombie!" The village chief did not
Putting Ma Yuzhi's words to heart, he paused for a moment, and then said: "In addition, on the forehead of this corpse that has not completely decomposed, there is a piece of yellow talisman paper pasted."
"Because the talisman paper is not valuable, the third masters directly tore off the talisman paper and threw it away, dragged the corpse out of the coffin, and threw it into the cemetery at will. After the corpse was moved away, the third master found that it was in the corpse. Under the body, there is also a long sword shining with golden light."
"The three masters first thought that this long sword with golden light was made of gold, so they were extremely excited. But when they started with the long sword, the third master discovered that the sword was originally made of peach wood. The third master was made of peach wood. This felt very disappointed, so he broke the sword into two pieces."
"Opening the coffin did not find the baby. The third masters were too lazy to pay attention to the corpse on the ground and left the tomb directly along the robbery hole." The village chief said here, after a pause, then continued: "Guess, what happened next whats the matter?"
"This should be the same as the bridge in the movie novel. Then the corpse turned into a zombie and started to come out to harm people."
Hearing Ma Yuzhi's words, the village head nodded and shook his head again.
"The corpse did become a zombie, but after the zombie left the cemetery, they did not harm people everywhere, but instead focused their attention on Wujiapu."
"Wujiapu began to die at intervals of five. Our local rumors say that these people's death is almost exactly the same as Li Baishun's death. It didn't take long for the third master who opened the cemetery to be killed by a zombie. Two blood appeared on the neck. Dong, when he was alive, it was more than one hundred and thirty catties. After death, there were about one hundred catties left in the corpse. It is estimated that the blood was consumed by the zombies.
"In Wujiapu, there were continuous incidents. Nearly ten people died. The great master began to pay attention to it, let his subordinates enter the city, and invited an old Taoist back. When the old Taoist arrived in Wujiapu, he could see the place of Wujiapu at a glance. So I have been attacked by zombies because the bronze mirror brought back by the third master is at work."
"Bronze mirror, rune paper and peach wood sword are the three magic weapons to suppress zombies. Rune paper and peach wood sword are destroyed, but the old zombie is still a little afraid of bronze mirror, so I want
Those who kill Wujiapu must destroy the bronze mirror first. "
"At the request of the master, the old Taoist priest re-drew a piece of talisman paper and re-made a peach wood sword in an attempt to use the bronze mirror as a bait to lure the old zombies into deception. Within three days, the zombies really came to Wujiapu. . That night, the old Taoist and the old zombie fought for three hundred rounds. In the end, the old Taoist was seriously injured and finally sealed the old zombie again. The place where the old zombie was sealed was in the yard of Wujiapu. inside."
"Is the story over here?"
Looking at the talking Ma Yuzhi, the old village head shook his head and said, "The story is not over here."
"Then what happened next?" Seeing the old village head shut his mouth, I picked up the wine and poured a glass for the village head.
"Later after liberation, the bandits in Wujiapu either scattered or were killed by the People's Liberation Army. The house in Wujiapu was big, so it was changed to a village committee by the dying. Later, fighting against the Four Olds and fighting the landlords, Wujiapu, as the home of bandits, was smashed by the progressive youth from the provincial capital."
"In the future, Wujiapu was completely abandoned, and now it is already covered with weeds."
"The death of Li Baishun should have something to do with the old zombies sealed in Wujiapu." Ma Yuzhi glanced at me, and then said: "The old zombies are sealed by the old Taoist priests, so they should not be able to break through the seal by themselves."
"Yeah!" I nodded gently, and added: "Someone must have visited the old site of Wujiapu recently and accidentally destroyed the seal left by the old Taoist priest."
Hearing what Ma Yuzhi and I said, the old village head hesitated for a moment before he continued: "Wujiabao was a bandit’s den before, so almost all the building materials used to build Wujiabao are high-quality stones. To be honest, we have been in the village over the years. When building a house, you basically have to go to Wujiapu to transport stones, because these stones are ready-made, which can save a lot of money."
Having said this, the old village chief glanced at us and said, “Some time ago, Li Erwa’s family repaired a house. Three days ago, he took someone to Wujiapu. Yesterday Li Baishun had something wrong, I guess it should be Li. What did the two children do when they arrived at the ruins of Wujiapu, and broke the seal."
