The villagers of the Zhang Family Village were finally relieved that the zombies that plagued the village had been killed.
"I didn't expect it to really be the Older Landlord Zhang …"
"Those were the descendants of the Zhang Family. How could he eat them?"
"Didn't you hear the Immortal Master say that the Older Landlord Zhang has become a zombie? He's inhumane and doesn't care about the descendants …"
"I remember that when Landlord Zhang was young, he also studied Taoist magic in the temple for a while. The Taoist priest even said that he had a good aptitude and that he couldn't even defeat a zombie …"
"I think the monk is more powerful. I heard that the Buddha of Jinshan Temple appeared again the night before yesterday!"
…
After dawn, the villagers of the Zhang Family Village gathered around the ancestral hall of the Zhang Family, pointing and discussing.
Many people didn't sleep the whole night after such a thing happened in the village. As soon as dawn broke, they gathered their courage and came to the ancestral hall of the Zhang Family to inquire about it.
Han Zhe, who had gone to check the tomb of the Older Landlord Zhang, had already returned. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he couldn't help but curse, "The Zhang Family didn't find a reliable Feng Shui master when they chose the tomb. They said that it was a good place to bury the dead. Who knows how much evil spirit and resentment have accumulated over thousands of years? No wonder he turned into a zombie as soon as he was buried and evolved into a jumping zombie in such a short time …"
The only suspicious point about the zombie incident in the Zhang Family Village was that the Older Landlord Zhang had turned into a zombie not long after his death. Moreover, his cultivation was so high that Han Zhe and Li Mu were almost killed by him.
After Han Zhe carefully checked the tomb, he finally found the answer.
Not only was the place where Squire Zhang had been buried not a place with good feng shui, but it was also a cave of great evil. Large amounts of baleful yin energy had gathered underground, and the corpses buried there would transform within a few days. After absorbing the baleful yin energy, their strength would explode for a short period of time. Coupled with the fact that they had absorbed the blood of their kin, they would have the terrifying cultivation base of a zombie.
At this point, there were no more doubts about Landlord Zhang's death, and the case could be closed.
The Zhang family could be said to be extremely unlucky. The old official had just died, and a month later, a new official had died. They even encountered such an evil thing. For the county government and Zhang Family Village, it was already considered lucky that the situation did not continue to escalate.
Li Mu was injured by the zombie yesterday, so his face was still pale. He lamented, "That zombie has only cultivated for less than a month, and it already has such a high level of attainment. It's comparable to dozens of years of cultivation for monsters and humans. It really doesn't make sense …"
"This isn't the only unreasonable thing in the cultivation world. This is nothing …" Han Zhe pursed his lips and said, "This beast has absorbed so much Baleful Yin Qi, but it's only equivalent to the third realm of cultivation. There was once a person who was full of resentment before he died and turned into a malicious spirit after his death. His strength was close to the sixth realm, and he wreaked havoc in the world. Countless cultivators died at his hands. That time, the imperial court sent out powerful cultivators of the upper three realms to completely kill him …"
The source of power of ghosts was different from that of cultivators. Li Mu could not be envious, and there was no need for him to be envious.
The case of Zhang Family Village ended. Han Zhe left two constables to clean up the mess and pacify the people. The rest returned to the county government.
In the guard room, Li Qing once again sent a stream of mana to Li Mu and said, "You're injured. Go home and rest. Don't worry about the yamen for now."
Li Mu nodded. He had not rested for two days. Even though he had already started cultivating, his body still could not take it.
He walked out of the guard room and prepared to go home. Old Wang poked his head out of the guard room next door and said, "Li Mu, you haven't been here for two days. This morning, when the yamen just opened, a girl came to the county government to look for you …"
Li Mu was stunned and asked, "Girl? Which girl?"
Old Wang thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember her name. But that girl was very beautiful. She had a good figure. In front of her, Miss Qing was like a child …"
Hearing Old Wang say this, Li Mu knew who came.
Liu Hanyan came to the yamen to look for him this morning. Did she run into some kind of trouble?
Li Mu walked all the way home. He planned to change his clothes first and then go next door to ask. He had just taken out his key when the door to the courtyard next door suddenly opened. Liu Hanyan walked out quickly. When she saw Li Mu, she sighed in relief and asked, "Where have you been these two days?"
"Two cases happened in the yamen. I went out to investigate." Li Mu explained and asked again, "They said you went to the yamen to look for me. What happened?"
Liu Hanyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "It was Wanwan who was worried about you. She asked me to go to the county yamen to ask …"
As she spoke, she saw the blood on Li Mu's shoulder. She quickly walked up and asked with a worried face, "Are you hurt?"
Li Mu didn't have time to change his clothes and was ready to go back to treat the wound. He shook his head and said, "It's just a small wound."
Liu Hanyan saw that the clothes on his shoulder were torn into strips of cloth and she could vaguely see a few horrible wounds. Her face was slightly pale and she asked, "How did you get hurt?"
Li Mu was afraid that he would scare her by saying that it was a zombie's scratch. He smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I'll go back and change my clothes first."
Li Mu returned home and took off his clothes. Li Qing only helped him get rid of the corpse poison. The wound on his shoulder was still there. It looked a little hideous and horrible, which made Li Mu feel a chill in his heart.
The zombie's nails were really sharp. If there was a slight deviation last night, his whole arm would have been cut off.
"Ah!"
Li Mu was about to treat the wound when two exclamations suddenly came from the door.
Wanwan was so scared that she covered her eyes. Liu Hanyan first turned around and then immediately turned back. Seeing the five wounds on Li Mu's shoulder, she hurriedly said, "Doctor, come in!"
Seeing a doctor with a medicine box come in, Li Mu knew that she had just called a doctor for him.
The old man took a few steps forward and looked at Li Mu's shoulder in astonishment. He asked, "Hiss, it seems like he was scratched by something, but it doesn't look like a beast. Lady Liu, I'll make some medicine for him first. Please help him clean the wound first …"
Liu Hanyan looked at the little maidservant who was about to cry with a pale face and said, "Wanwan, go and get some hot water …"
Wanwan quickly ran out and soon came in with a basin of hot water. Liu Hanyan wet the towel and sat in front of the bed. Li Mu quickly said, "I'll do it myself. I can do it …"
Although he only exposed his shoulder at the moment, he must take off his shirt to clean the wound. Men and women should be careful. At that time, she would still be here, so it would be inappropriate.
Seeing that Li Mu's other hand was not injured, Liu Hanyan handed him the towel and said, "Wanwan, let's go out first …"
She walked out of the room and saw two figures, one fat and one thin, coming in from outside.
Liu Hanyan had seen one of them and knew that he was also a bailiff of the county government. His surname seemed to be Zhang. Although she had never seen the other tall and thin one, looking at his official uniform, he should be another colleague.
Li Si's eyes swept over Liu Hanyan and no longer looked at her. Zhang Shan smiled and said warmly, "Lady Liu, you're also here …"
"You're here to see Li Mu, right? The doctor is applying medicine for him inside." Liu Hanyan nodded slightly to the two of them. She changed her mind and asked, "What case did he investigate these two days? How did he get so seriously injured?"
Li Si did not answer, but Zhang Shan seemed to have opened up a chatterbox. He said with joy, "This case is a bit complicated. The chickens and sheep in Zhang Village were sucked of blood. At first, we thought it was just two yellow-skinned elites, but who would have thought that there was a zombie? Last night, we fought with the zombie for 300 rounds. Li Mu was scratched by the zombie …"
Liu Hanyan looked at them in a daze and murmured, "Demon, zombie …"
Zhang Shan nodded and said, "In fact, there was a tiger demon before, but it was killed by a monk. By the way, has the doctor finished applying medicine? I'll go in and see …"
Li Si kicked him in the leg and said, "What are you looking at? The boss said to let Li Mu have a good rest and not disturb him. You didn't go back last night. Why don't you go back and tell your wife?"
Zhang Shan's expression changed when he heard this. He put down the fruit in his hand and immediately said, "I'll go back first. I'll come to see Li Mu later. Lady Liu, please help us take these things in …"
