Early the next morning, the tombkeeper patrolled the mountain and found that the old man's tomb had been stolen and his body was missing. He immediately reported it to the clan elders.

Wang Qingshan is the most senior member of the Wang family in Qingshi Town, and the deceased old man was his cousin.

When he learned that his cousin's tomb had been stolen and his body was missing, Wang Qingshan sent his tribesmen to search for the body and reported it to the authorities.

The Wang family is one of the largest families in Ping'an County. The old man's tomb was stolen and his body disappeared, which attracted the attention of many members of the Wang family. When the elders of various branches of the Wang family learned about this, they all demanded that the murderer be arrested and the old man's body be recovered.

The corpse should be buried alive.

Wang Tiande is the county lieutenant of Ping'an County, in charge of public security and the arrest of thieves. He is also a member of the Wang family. Upon learning of this incident, Wang Tiande immediately rushed to Qingshi Town with the chief catcher and more than a dozen detectives.

According to seniority, Wang Tiande would call the dead old man Seventh Uncle.

Wang Tiande first comforted the clan elders from each branch who came after hearing the news, and assured him that the murderer would be brought to justice and the seventh uncle's body would be found.

Wang Tiande had been a county captain for ten years and had rich experience. He took the chief catcher to the family cemetery to check and asked the two tombkeepers about the situation on the night when the tomb was stolen.

After listening to the tombkeeper's statement, Wang Tiande felt confident.

This case was definitely not committed by anyone from the Wang family. The Qi Bo Gong was highly respected and it was impossible for the Wang family to dig up the Qi Bo Gong's grave and steal the body. However, to be cautious, Wang Tiande still sent someone to investigate and see who was with the Qi Bo Gong.

There is a festival.

All the grave goods were looted. From this, it can be seen that most of the tomb robbers were poor people. Following this clue, Wang Tiande sent detectives to conduct house-to-house searches, focusing on poor families.

Most of the funerary objects are gold and silver jewelry. It is impossible for tomb robbers to show off with gold and silver jewelry. They will definitely sell the stolen funerary objects for silver.

Following this clue, Wang Tiande sent people to visit all the pawnshops in Pingan County. At a pawnshop in the county called "Yongan Pawnshop", the police learned that the day after the incident, someone went to Yongan Pawnshop to pawn gold and silver.

jewelry.

Because the amount was so large, Xu An, the owner of Yongan Pawn Shop, personally received it.

According to Xu An's confession, it was two brothers who pawned the gold and silver jewelry. There was a lot of mud on their feet. During the conversation, a man said that he was going to Baihua Tower for a few days.

Baihualou is the largest brothel in Pingan County, and most people cannot afford to go to a place like this.

Following this clue, the police quickly caught two brothers, Li Renjie and Li Renyi, in Baihualou.

Before going to court, Li Renjie and Li Renyi confessed honestly and admitted that they had stolen the old man's burial objects, but they insisted that they had not stolen the body.

Wang Tiande had Li Renjie and Li Renyi imprisoned, and asked Wang Qingshan to organize the clan members to search for the old man's body.

There were many wild dogs near Qingshi Mountain, and Wang Tiande speculated that the old man's body might have been picked up by wild dogs.

Wang Qingshan organized hundreds of tribesmen to go into the mountains to look for the old man's body, but found nothing. Several tribesmen happened to encounter a blind bear and were injured by the blind bear.

Five days had passed, and the old man's body had not been found, and no one had any hope. Wang Qingshan had no choice but to leave a dozen tribesmen to continue the search, and dismissed the other tribesmen.

Wang Youping and Wang Youquan are cousins ​​and are responsible for continuing to search for the old man's body in the mountains.

That night, it was getting dark. They brought dry food with them and simply stayed overnight in a ruined temple in the mountains.

"It's been so many days. I'm afraid the old man's body has been eaten by wild dogs. Why does the fifth uncle let us continue to look for the third uncle's body?" Wang Youping complained.

"Hey, we can only blame our bad luck. Those who got the short-term lottery were left to look for the body of San Bogong. Who told us to get the short-term lottery? Anyway, we have enough dry food. At worst, we will stay in this ruined temple for a few days before eating.

I just went back to deliver the rations, and just said I couldn't find San Bogong's body, just for show, so why are you serious?" Wang Youquan didn't take it seriously.

"That's right, let's do it."

The two chatted for a while, then each found an open space, spread hay and fell asleep.

It's midnight, it's dark and quiet.

In a valley overgrown with weeds, the stone walls on both sides were covered with green moss, and many thick green rattans hung on the uneven stone wall on the left.

A strange roar suddenly sounded, and a figure suddenly rushed out from the dense vines.

Apparently, there is a secret cave behind the rattan, but the entrance is blocked by thick green rattan.

The figure is clearly a man with a layer of thick black hair all over his body. His fingers are slender and his nails have turned black. Judging from his clothes and face, he is the old man who has been dead for many days and has turned into a zombie.

It looked up to the sky and let out a strange roar, opening its mouth to reveal two fangs.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, and a large amount of moonlight essence poured into its mouth.

After sucking in the moonlight for half an hour, it straightened its hands and jumped out of the valley.

It jumped around aimlessly in the mountains, and an hour later, it appeared outside a ruined temple.

It sniffed lightly with its nose, jumped up on its legs, and rushed towards the ancient temple.

Wang Youping slept soundly. In his daze, he heard a shrill scream.

He opened his eyes drowsily and saw a man with black hair grabbing Wang Youquan's shoulders with both hands and biting Wang Youquan's neck.

"Help me, help me quickly." Wang Youquan shouted for help.

As soon as he finished saying this, the man let go of Wang Youquan's shoulders, and Wang Youquan's legs weakened and he fell to the ground.

With the bright moonlight, you can clearly see that there are blood holes as thick as two fingers on Wang Youquan's neck.

"roar!"

The man with black fur all over his body opened his mouth, and you could see two fangs with blood stains on them.

Wang Youping was frightened and hurriedly got up and ran out, but before he could run far, the zombie's legs jumped and blocked his way.

The zombie grabbed Wang Youping's shoulders with both hands, opened his mouth and bit Wang Youping's neck.

Wang Youping felt a sharp pain in his neck. Not long after, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

After sucking the blood of two living people, the zombie jumped outside.

Not long after, it disappeared into the night.

······

Lotus Island.

As the sun rises, the golden sunshine puts a golden cloak on Lotus Island, bathing people's bodies with warmth.

In Qinglian Pavilion, Wang Changsheng was sitting cross-legged on a green futon, wearing a string of blue beads on his hand. A large number of blue light spots appeared in the room.

As he swallowed and exhaled, bits of blue light rushed along his Tianling Cap and disappeared into his body, as if under some kind of guidance.

Half a quarter of an hour later, after the last blue light spots disappeared into Wang Changsheng's body, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of light shot out of his eyes.
