After hurriedly hanging up the phone with Zhaozhou, Yuan Jinghua immediately arranged to board a military plane bound for the base in the north of the country, and his whole expression changed drastically.
At his level, he has naturally known about things in the world of cultivation for a long time. He knows very clearly about Taoism and practice. These are real things in the world. Zombies and ghosts also exist in the world, not just in novels and movies.
According to legend, it was precisely because he knew this clearly that he was so anxious at the moment, because Lin Tianqi's status and identity had such a great influence.
Considering Lin Tianqi's status when he was alive and his influence on future generations now, if he really became a zombie, Yuan Jinghua could not imagine how much trouble it would cause.
After hurriedly boarding the plane, two hours later, the elevator door opened in the central third-floor lobby of Jingbei Base.
"Minister Yuan."
"Minister Yuan."
"..."
Seeing Yuan Jinghua coming out of the elevator, Li Zhao, Zhao Zhou and others who had been waiting for him immediately rushed forward to greet him.
"How is Professor Wang's condition? Is he in danger?"
Seeing a group of people, Yuan Jinghua first looked at Zhaozhou Road. Everyone next to him also immediately looked at Zhaozhou. Except for Xie Yu and Guan Li, everyone else had an inexplicable look in their eyes.
Because just now, Zhaozhou had impacted their long-standing scientific values.
Zhaozhou ignored the strange look in everyone's eyes and nodded after hearing this.
"I have expelled the corpse energy from Professor Wang's body, and he is out of danger. However, Professor Wang is old and weak, and he still needs to recuperate for a while. In addition, Professor Li has also been slightly affected by the corpse energy, but the situation is not as good as Professor Wang's.
So serious, I have already exorcised it."
Yuan Jinghua immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"That's good, take me to see the two professors first."
"yes."
Wang Aiguo and Li Xuecheng have been placed in a ward at the base and are being cared for by Shen Hong and Xu Zhi, two medical personnel from the original expedition team.
"Professor Wang, Professor Li, it's great that you are okay."
Arriving at the door of the ward, Yuan Jinghua immediately opened the door and walked in, looking at Wang Aiguo and Li Xuecheng with concern.
"Minister Yuan, I'm so sorry. We didn't complete our task, but instead caused trouble to the country."
Wang Aiguo and Li Xuecheng, who were on the hospital bed, felt slightly guilty when they saw Yuan Jinghua, and they said with some shame.
"Stop saying that."
Yuan Jinghua hurriedly said after hearing this.
"The two professors have done their best for the country. I should be the one to thank the two professors on behalf of the country. How can I blame the two professors? Moreover, this matter is indeed special and is not the fault of the two professors."
"special."
When Wang Aiguo and Li Xuecheng heard that they looked at each other, then looked at Yuan Jinghua, and at the same time looked at Zhao Zhou behind Yuan Jinghua, they couldn't help but say.
"Minister Yuan, what exactly is going on? Comrade Xiao Zhao just now..."
"I know that the two professors and everyone must have a lot of doubts in their hearts at this moment, but this matter is difficult to say, and it will not be easy to explain for a while, and the most important thing now is the condition of Mr. Lin's body, so I hope you two
Professor and everyone, please bear with me for a moment, and let me explain it in detail to you later."
Yuan Jinghua added that he also knew that it would be impossible to hide Taoist practice and other matters from Wang Aiguo and others now that this happened, but the most urgent thing at the moment was Lin Tianqi's situation, and he had no intention of talking to him.
The group explains these.
Seeing what Yuan Jinghua said, Wang Aiguo and Li Xuecheng nodded immediately and did not ask any more questions.
Yuan Jinghua did not stay in the ward any longer. After saying a few simple words, he left directly and went directly to the research room where the ice coffin was parked.
.....................
In the open area at the center of the research room, the ice coffin was still lying quietly on the spot. The people inside the ice coffin were also lying quietly inside, motionless. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
"Mr. Lin's body has really been mutated. Are you sure?"
After looking closely at the figure in the ice coffin for a while, Yuan Jinghua turned to look at Zhaozhou Road again.
"I'm not 100% sure yet, but I'm at least half sure that Mr. Lin's body has been transformed. The cold air emanating from the ice coffin may be part of the corpse air in addition to the cold air in the ice coffin itself.
The cold air, but the corpse air is blocked by the cold air, so it is difficult to detect..."
"Professor Wang and Professor Li have been in close contact with ice coffins before, and they are old and frail, so the corpse gas entered their bodies."
"I even suspect that Mr. Lin's body has now turned into a zombie, but it is still in the sleeping stage and has not awakened."
Zhao Zhou said with a serious face, even a little nervous, because he knew very well that if Lin Tianqi's body had really turned into a zombie, then based on Lin Tianqi's strength when he was alive, the strength of the zombie after the transformation would probably be so terrifying that it would be difficult to survive.
degree of imagination.
"Already turned into a zombie?"
Yuan Jinghua's expression changed again when he heard this, he looked at the appearance of Lin Tianqi's body in the ice coffin, and said doubtfully.
"But doesn't Mr. Lin's corpse look good? Don't zombies generally have green faces and fangs that can deform?"
"This is the most worrying point. Ordinary zombies do have green faces and fangs, but they are just ordinary zombies. According to Taoist records, once a zombie reaches the bronze armored corpse level, it can maintain a normal appearance.
The human form is indistinguishable from human beings, and the more powerful the zombie, the more perfect its body appearance will be."
"Furthermore, when Mr. Lin was alive, his strength was already close to that of a celestial being, and his body was extraordinary. If he really became a zombie, he would probably be so powerful that it would be unimaginable."
Having said this, Zhaozhou's face couldn't help but show a kind of nervousness, because he knew that in addition to being related to the zombie's practice after becoming a zombie, the strength of a zombie also has a big relationship.
The strength in front of the zombie, especially the physical relationship with the zombie.
According to the historical records of their Taoist sect, Lin Tianqi's strength had reached an unbelievable level when he was alive, and his body was almost extraordinary. A drop of blood could kill evil spirits.
Zhaozhou really couldn't imagine how powerful such a powerful being would be if it really became a zombie.
"Minister, we must make a decision as soon as possible. If Mr. Lin's body really turns into a zombie, if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, once he wakes up, it may be difficult to stop him."
Yuan Jinghua's expression changed drastically.
If it were just the corpse of another ordinary person, and faced with the possibility that the corpse turned into a zombie, he would definitely order it to be burned directly at this time without hesitation, but Lin Tianqi couldn't do it, because Lin Tianqi's identity had too much influence, even if
To make this decision, he must also seek instructions from his superiors.
"The influence of Mr. Lin's identity is too great. I need to consult the higher-ups on this matter."
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Jinghua spoke, and then looked at Zhaozhou Road.
"Do you have any way to specifically determine whether Mr. Lin has really transformed into a corpse? I want an accurate answer."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhou knitted his brows and thought for a while, then shook his head and said.
"I'm not good enough to make an accurate determination. I even suspect that this ice coffin was arranged by Mr. Lin, but I can't tell because I'm not good enough. But if the minister agrees, I can contact my master. If I If the master comes here, he should be able to tell something for sure."
"Is the real person Yunhui?"
Yuan Jinghua frowned. He knew that the master in Zhaozhou, whose Taoist name was Yun Huizi, was one of the few Taishan Beidou-level masters in the Taoist sect. If he could invite Yun Huizi, he would have to make sure that the ice coffin contained It is indeed not difficult to determine whether Lin Tianqi has transformed into a corpse.
But in this case, Yuan Jinghua would have to consider the issue of confidentiality. After all, Lin Tianqi's identity would have too great an impact.
"I need to ask the higher-ups for instructions on this matter."
............................
Two days later, a thin Taoist priest wearing a gray Taoist robe who looked to be in his fifties or sixties with white hair and beard came to the base. It was none other than Zhaozhou's master Yun Huizi.
After Yuan Jinghua informed his superiors about the news that Lin Tianqi's body might have been transformed into a corpse, the superiors finally made the decision to invite Yun Huizi to come over.
Yun Huizi was led to the research room by Yuan Jinghua and others. When he saw Lin Tianqi's body and specific appearance in the ice coffin, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed and bowed.
"Yun Huizi, a younger disciple of the Taoist sect, comes to see the true king."
