Gu Zhisang frowned slightly: “What level is that ominous creature?”
Generally speaking, the tomb has been buried underground for thousands of years, and two kinds of ominous creatures were most likely to come out of it: Ghosts bound in the tomb or a zombie.
Especially the latter.
The underground was a dark and damp place, which was the easiest place to hide dirt and rot, not to mention the tomb, which was a place where yin and evil gather;
If it was a tomb with a special geomantic omen in the location, the corpse in the tomb will usually mutate due to the evil spirit after one or two hundred years, but this was the lowest level of purple zombie.
Many people think that zombies were a kind of mysterious thing that were difficult to see, but in fact, the conditions for the formation of low-level zombies were not harsh, and they cannot move, or harm people, and were no different from ordinary corpses.
At best, the body was not easy to rot, and when digging up the grave and touching it directly, it will be contaminated with some evil spirits.
It was rare to see advanced zombies at a later stage. The higher the level, the more difficult the formation conditions and the greater the threat.
Zheng Ruyu said with a serious expression: “It’s a Mao zombie, but when our people tried to subdue it, we found that it moved faster and more flexibly than ordinary Mao zombies. If it can’t be hurt, I’m afraid it has already half-stepped into the next evolutionary stage!”
The so-called ‘Mao Zombie’ was the fourth level of zombies.
After the purple level zombie, black and white zombies followed, which have mobility but were very slow. They were afraid of fire, livestock, and sound, and have almost no threat.
After that, green zombies will grow green corpse hair all over their bodies, move fast, and were not afraid of fire and livestock except for the sun, but like to suck blood.
Decades ago when the Xia Country was first established, there was a green zombie in a certain village, which killed the chickens, cats, and dogs in the village and sucked blood, causing panic among the surrounding people.
At that time, the officials asked people from the Taoist Sect to take action to solve the problem. Until now, there were still legends in that area.
After the green zombie was the Mao zombie, the hair outside the body was invulnerable. Although ordinary fire and light can’t hurt it, the “blazing fire talisman” used by the people of the Special Spiritual Department in the tomb was extraordinary. It contains Taoist real fire, ordinary evil will be burned to ashes.
However, even the Taoist real fire can hardly hurt that monster, which shows that it was already evolving into a ‘flying Zombie’.
Flying Zombies often need thousands of years of cultivation, and their evil nature was a great ominous, once they appeared, it will inevitably stir up a disaster.
No wonder the members of the Special Spiritual Department in the tomb were so nervous that they had to seal the tomb and notify their superiors.
Gu Zhisang was a little surprised. If she remembered correctly, the emperor’s tomb was only more than 600 years ago, which was far from being able to raise a flying zombie, so she asked more.
“The emperor is ruthless. After the imperial mausoleum was built, to prevent those skilled craftsmen from leaking the organs and funeral objects inside, the emperor asked them to stay underground forever.” Zheng Ruyu said with a helpless face.
“However, the emperor studied the art of longevity before he was alive, and he didn’t want to enter the underworld for reincarnation. He didn’t succeed until he was old, so with the advice and help of the Feng Shui master, he built the ‘Soul-locked Grave’.
At the same time, to increase the evil spirit in the tomb and better nourish himself, he did not kill the craftsmen directly but asked the soldiers to drive them to the remote area of the tomb, took away all the tools, and left no supplies behind. Then let someone completely seal the chamber…”
In this way, the craftsmen in the room can only wait to die in despair.
For the first two days, they were still yelling, begging for mercy, cursing, and trying to dig out the chambers with their fingers, but it was no use scratching their fingernails.
After the third day, they did not eat or drink, and they lost too much energy and were on the verge of death.
The extreme hunger and sense of coercion of death made them start killing each other and cannibalizing each other.
When the last person was dying, the entire chamber was filled with rotting corpses and bones filled with maggots, and fetid excrement was everywhere.
He lived in this dark underground for an unknown amount of time, eating people and drinking blood, and finally died with overwhelming resentment.
It was precise because Mao Zombie had eaten people before he was alive, and he was buried in Feng Shui with resentment, that it took shape so quickly.
Hearing such a method, Gu Zhisang’s dislike for the tomb owner was instantly raised to 8 points from 5 points. She frowned and asked:
“According to what you said, the evil aura in the tomb must be soaring to the sky. The owner of the tomb is located in the hole of Feng Shui. Although he also raises corpses, how can there be only one ominous creature?”
Zheng Ruyu said: “This is about the jade finger bone.”
“I don’t know if Ms. Gu knows, but there is a record of a prince in the dynasty at that time in the history books and records of later generations 800 years ago. He also benefited the people’s livelihood and helped the victims of disasters many times during his lifetime. He has a good reputation among the people.
History books once praised this prince as “elegant and profound, just like the calm water”.
There are not many records of this person in history.
According to research, the prince was weak and sickly from birth, but because he was the second son of the imperial family and had a good fate, he was very popular with the emperor at that time.
When he was young, he was sent to a very famous Taoist temple for cultivation to recuperate, and he lived in the temple for nearly ten years.
Later, he suffered from leg problems due to illness and spent his whole life on the verge of power struggles. In the end, his brother ascended the throne, and his treatment was even better.”
It stands to reason that such a member of the royal family has no value in textual research, and rarely appears in books. The reason why Zheng Ruyu and many people in the Lingzu know about this person was that this person was recorded in Taoist classics.
The Taoist temple where the sick and weak prince went out of the palace to recuperate was the Taoist temple of Taoist Jun Hong, the founder of Taoism.
The more Gu Zhisang heard it, the more familiar it became, and his expression gradually became a little strange, “So this finger bone is?”
Zheng Ruyu replied: “From the book of golden strands buried with the prince, we learned that this jade finger bone belonged to him.”
Gu Zhisang: “… …”
From Zheng Ruyu’s mouth, she learned the source of the jade finger bone.
According to the records of the Feng Shui Master who built the tomb, when this idle prince was living in the Taoist temple of Master Jun Hong, he had attracted thunder from the sky;
His legs became sickly because of the lightning strike, and he was unable to walk. A hundred years after his death, the dynasty collapsed, and his tomb was destroyed by tomb robbers during the war.
In the tomb owner’s room, the thieves found that the bones in the coffin were rotten, and only one finger was almost intact. The tomb robbers destroyed the corpse and cut off the finger. After peeling off the flesh, they got this transparent finger bone.
Because of the special status of the owner of the tomb, he had lived beside Taoist Jun Hong for a long time and had a strange experience. At that time, it was spread among the people and the royal family that this jade finger bone had been tempered by heavenly thunder, and after being ground into a pill, he could live forever after swallowing it.
In the end, the emperor at that time, that was, the tomb owner of the emperor’s tomb, spent a lot of money to get this jade finger bone from the wandering alchemist.
This emperor wanted to live forever too much, so he took many ‘elixirs’ for this purpose, but all failed.
