Li Qing did not directly deny the role of glutinous rice. Li Mu borrowed some glutinous rice from the villagers in Zhangjia Village and sprinkled it around the Zhangjia ancestral hall.
Regardless of whether glutinous rice has a restraining effect on zombies, there is no harm in making extra preparations.
The villagers of Zhangjia Village dispersed, and Zhang Yuanwai's direct blood relatives were arranged by him in the ancestral hall.
Although zombies have no intelligence and humanity, and do not pick on humans or animals when they suck blood, the essence and blood of direct blood relatives can speed up their evolution. If the person who killed Zhang Yuan was an ancestor of the Zhang family, as long as the Zhang family still has blood, it will definitely
return.
This is their instinct, so Li Mu and others just need to wait and see in Zhangjiacun.
However, after several villagers from Zhangjia Village who went to check Zhang's grave came back, Han Zhe began to doubt his previous speculation.
According to those villagers, there were no abnormalities in the tombs of the Zhang family's ancestors, which meant that none of them had turned into zombies. Zhang Yuanwai's death might have been just an accident.
If that's the case, it won't be that easy to find the traces of the zombie.
Li Mu thought of the disappearance of Zhang Yuanwai's father's body and wondered: "Is it really Zhang Yuanwai?"
"Under normal circumstances, this is simply impossible." Li Qing denied Li Mu's guess and said: "A corpse needs a certain chance to turn into a zombie. First of all, Zhang Yuanwai's father's cemetery must be a corpse raising ground.
Only it has the possibility of becoming a zombie. Secondly, even if he becomes a zombie, it is the lowest level white zombie. It will take at least twenty years to evolve into a jumping zombie. The one who killed Zhang Yuanwai was obviously a jumping zombie.
."
Li Mu thought for a while and asked: "This is the normal situation, what about the abnormal situation?"
Li Qingdao: "The corpses that have just died have absorbed a large amount of evil energy in a very short period of time, speeding up the evolution process, or someone has sacrificed the corpses and forcibly helped them evolve, or Zhang Yuanwai
My father was bitten to death by flying zombies, but according to the yamen investigation, he died of illness..."
Obviously, if you want to know the origin of the zombie that killed Zhang Yuanwai, just see if it comes here tonight.
If nothing else goes wrong, Li Mu won't be able to go home tonight. In the past two days, he has not had time to go back and tell Wan Wan that Liu Hanyan's one or two monthly food expenses made Li Mu feel guilty.
Zhang Shan, Li Si and others returned to Zhangjiacun before dark.
They searched cemeteries and mass graves near Zhangjiacun, but found nothing.
Han Zhe looked suspicious and murmured: "It's strange. The zombie couldn't have flown over. It's impossible. If it had flown over, there must have been a big mess in Beijun..."
Li Mu learned from the "Ten Continent Monster Chronicles" that the strength of Tiao Zheng is probably similar to that of practitioners in the God-Gathering Realm. Because they are like ghosts but not ghosts, and like demons but not demons, many Taoist methods against demons and ghosts have no effect on them.
Ineffective, making jumping zombies often more difficult to deal with than evil ghosts and transformed monsters.
However, being difficult to deal with is difficult to deal with. No matter how powerful the jumping zombies are, they are still dead creatures without intelligence. Some rely entirely on instinct, and their bodies are stiff and they can only jump and walk.
But flying zombies are different. Once zombies evolve into flying zombies, they can pose a threat to practitioners in the third realm. They will not only develop basic spiritual intelligence, jump like flying, move like ordinary people, but also absorb human blood from a distance.
The soul does not leave any trauma. It is said that a flying zombie appeared in Zhou County next door a few days ago. Even the county governor was alarmed. The chaos caused has not subsided yet...
The flying zombie has countless pairs of eyes staring at it, so it is impossible for it to come here from Zhou County. And below the flying zombie, there are Li Qing and Han Zhe here, so it cannot cause any big trouble.
The sky was getting dark, Zhang Shan, Li Si and other five detectives were standing guard around the ancestral hall with weapons smeared with talisman blood. Li Mu was holding Bai Yi, sitting in the ancestral hall, looking at several direct members of the Zhang family.
Li Qing is not here. Although the zombies do not have seven souls, their bodies are extremely powerful and their perceptions are even more acute. Li Qing is already at the God Gathering Realm. If she stays here, the zombies may not dare to appear out of fear.
Not knowing whether the zombie would come, Li Mu waited while silently reciting the Heart Sutra and practicing. Unknowingly, the fourth watch day had passed.
The ugly time has passed. Calculated, it is also past three o'clock in the middle of the night. In the Zhang family ancestral hall, the direct clan members have fallen asleep. Only two of them are still holding on to their spirits, but they are also leaning against the pillars of the ancestral hall and are unconscious.
Drowsy.
Bang, bang, bang!
Just when Li Mu was about to feel sleepy, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the ancestral hall.
Li Mu regained his energy and suddenly lost all sleepiness. He pulled out the Bai Yi Sword, walked to the yard outside the ancestral hall, and asked loudly: "Who?"
"It's me, open the door quickly!" Zhang Shan's voice came from outside the door.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, opened the courtyard door, looked at Zhang Shan outside the door, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
"After waiting for most of the night, I didn't find anything." Zhang Shan covered his buttocks and said anxiously: "I seem to have eaten something bad today. Where is the latrine? I can't hold it in anymore..."
Li Mu pointed to a corner in the yard, Zhang Shan covered his buttocks and immediately ran over.
Li Mu closed the door, but before he reached the ancestral hall, there was another knock on the door.
boom!
Bang bang!
The sound of knocking on the door this time was more urgent than the last time.
Just as Li Mu was about to walk over, the two solid and heavy wooden doors collapsed after two muffled sounds.
A tall, dark figure appeared at the door.
The moonlight shines on the figure, revealing a pale human face without a trace of blood. The face is covered with wrinkles and ravines, the eyes are sunken deeply into the eye sockets, but there are two fangs protruding downward from the corners of the mouth.
He stood at the door, and a yin energy came from a distance.
"coming!"
Li Mu was shocked. He instantly took out a bamboo tube from his arms and lit it without hesitation. A beam of fire shot out from the bamboo tube and exploded in the night sky.
Roar!
The zombie made a muffled sound in its throat and rushed towards Li Mufei.
His knees were not bent, but his speed was extremely fast, almost creating an afterimage. Above his ten fingers, the inch-long nails emitted a faint cold light and penetrated directly into Li Mu's neck.
"So fast!"
Li Mu was startled. He knew that although the jumping zombies were inflexible, their speed was far faster than that of ordinary people, but he did not expect that their speed was so fast.
Fortunately, he was well prepared and immediately used the Rock Leap Technique, leaping back a few feet and avoiding the zombie's blow.
Zhi!
The zombie jumped to the ground, but a burst of black smoke suddenly rose from under his feet. A ferocious and painful expression appeared on his face, and he jumped back instantly, not daring to take another step forward.
Li Mu looked at the layer of glutinous rice on the ground and found a burnt black footprint emerging on it.
He breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "Praise Uncle Ying!"
Zhang Shan got out of the hut in the corner of the ancestral hall and said doubtfully: "Li Mu, something is burnt... Oh my god, what is that!"
Seeing the dark shadow at the door, Zhang Shan's body trembled, his legs weakened from fear, and he collapsed on the ground.
Sensing Zhang Shan's aura there, the black shadow jumped around and flew towards Zhang Shan.
There was no glutinous rice scattered around the latrine. Li Mu looked at Zhang Shan and shouted from a distance: "Hold your breath!"
Zhang Shan suddenly pinched his nose, and the zombie figure paused, stood there, and immediately slowed down.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The zombie couldn't see Zhang Shan in front of him, which meant that he couldn't see anything. At most, it was just a powerful jumping zombie. Li Qing and Han Zhe could deal with it without any pressure.
He reached into the cloth bag in his arms, grabbed a handful of glutinous rice from it, and sprinkled it on the zombie.
Although the zombie couldn't see, he instinctively sensed the danger and jumped away again. The moment he landed, a talisman shot out from the front and stuck to his forehead.
His body froze in place, unable to move.
Han Zhe's figure came out of the darkness, glanced at the zombie with disdain, and said: "It's just a jump, a monster or a ghost, what kind of trouble can it cause..."
"careful!"
Li Mu activated his magic power to the extreme and appeared next to Han Zhe almost instantly. He kicked him away, causing the ten sharp nails that were inserted into Han Zhe's neck to fall away.
The talisman on the zombie's forehead spontaneously ignited out of thin air and turned into ashes and fell. After the blow aimed at Han Zhe missed, he changed his direction and thrust his fingers into Li Mu's chest.
boom!
His attack still missed. Not only that, after the attack failed, his entire body flew backwards.
Li Qing repeled the zombie with one palm, blocked Li Mu behind him, and said, "Leave it to me and you go protect the Zhang family."
"Boss, be careful."
Li Mu warned her and quickly retreated to the entrance of the ancestral hall in case the zombie suddenly attacked.
The zombie was knocked down by Li Qing, and his body stood upright again. However, this time, he just stood there from a distance and was not in a hurry to attack.
Although he had no intelligence, he could still feel that the woman who had just repelled him was extremely powerful.
Suddenly, the zombie's body soared into the air again, but instead of attacking Li Qing, it quickly retreated. After a few leaps, it disappeared into the vast darkness...
