As soon as Zhong Kui returned to Old Man Xia's house, he dug out the book and handed it to Zhi Qing to read.

Zhiqing took the book and looked at it. There were four weird cursive fonts on the top of the page. "Secrets of Raising a Corpse" When he saw these horrifying fonts, he felt something was wrong in his heart.

The "Secret Book of Corpse Raising" records that the Bo people have a method of cultivating corpses. They keep the corpses of their relatives in stone coffins for a long time until the corpse becomes a mummy.

The Bo people's practice is to remember their loved ones, but it also has certain drawbacks, that is, many unexpected and strange things will happen, such as corpse transformation and so on.

The Bo people are an ancient ethnic group that has lived in southwest China since the Pre-Qin Dynasty. They have a history of thousands of years. It is extremely difficult to find out the details.

This book was also handed down from the Bo people. As for how Old Man Xia obtained this book, there was no way to verify it for a while. This book contained mostly pictures and the text was Bo people. Zhiqing was too anxious to understand.

It's scratching your head.

Zhong Kui and Wen Gen saw Zhi Qing's uncertain expression and did not dare to speak.

At this time, Zhiqing was like an illiterate who could only analyze the meaning by looking at the patterns on the pages of the book.

Zhong Kui read this book and finished it in a few minutes.

Zhiqing read this book in the dark of night, his neck ached, and he finally understood something astonishing.

Old Man Xia was indeed not as simple as they thought. Not only did he understand the Feng Shui layout secrets of the I Ching, but he was also familiar with the secrets of raising corpses. He used the Bo people's corpse raising techniques to raise Zhong Mingfa in a stone coffin, and initially dripped a small amount of chicken blood into it.

To maintain the freshness of the corpse, the next step is to change the organs of the corpse. In other words, Zhong Mingfa himself is not a werewolf heart and liver, but an organ that evolved into a wolf-like organ through genetic mutation during the process of Old Man Xia's spell.

The following is Zhiqing's speculation about the bloodthirsty incident in Menling Village; Zhong Mingfa ordered Yan Butcher to cut off the holes and found a place to raise the corpse in the rush.

In other words, if Butcher Yan is buried here, his body will not rot for a hundred years, and it may become a "Yang Corpse Ding" in the future. This is a folk legend in our Heavenly Dynasty, and it is also a joking name for this kind of dead and alive people, but in foreign races

Call them 'zombies'.

Once the 'Yangshiding' has inhabited the corpse place for three full moons, it can leave the tomb and have to suck fresh blood to help the metabolism of the corpse, so as to maintain enough energy to survive.

Because his old friend made a bet to him before and told him a joke about shortening his life span, and he lost the bet. Zhong Mingfa felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. Then when he was cutting acupoints for Yan Tuhu's family, he was harassed by their family. His mood

In all kinds of chaos, he drank heavily at the host's house to drown his sorrows. As a result, he was blinded by Wang Ermao's lime water and fell into the reservoir.

And that time happened to be when Old Man Xia was visiting his daughter and coming out of her home. He caught a glimpse of a person falling into the reservoir within sight. In panic, he jumped into the reservoir without risking his life. After a period of search, he finally fished the person ashore.

.

After careful identification, he discovered that it was Zhong Mingfa. After that, he tried his best to save him, but it was too late. When Zhong Mingfa fell into the reservoir, part of the water choked his lungs and he died of suffocation.

Old Man Xia, who originally wanted to save his old friend, saw that the situation was over, and knew that there was no way to save him. He looked up to the sky and sighed, deeply regretting their bet. If he hadn't thought of the bet on a whim, his old friend would not have shortened his life.

Old Man Xia lived a lonely life. His only daughter was married to a coward named Wang Ermao. His only friend was shortened due to an unintentional bet. He couldn't bear this cruel blow.

In grief, he thought of using this evil method to retain his old friend.

But what Old Man Xia didn't expect was that Zhong Mingfa's inner ruthlessness was unparalleled. Although he was dependent on his own evil, he could not completely control it when he created the bloodthirsty "Yangshi Ding".

In this way, Old Man Xia replaced the newly buried Butcher Yan with Zhong Mingfa.

He threw Butcher Yan's corpse into the reservoir and went back to work on his secrets on raising corpses.

Zhong Kui listened to Zhi Qing's analysis in disbelief, and then thought of the incident that happened not long ago.

At that time, Zhiqing was very anxious and asked to immediately find Cowdou and the others who were lost in the woods, but Old Man Xia said slowly that it was okay. Was he deliberately delaying time so that his father, who had turned into a bloodthirsty devil, could kill the three of them?

Another doubtful point is that Old Man Xia said he had not entered Menling Village, but how did he know about Vanilla? He said he saw it while standing on a high ridge, but Zhong Kui once stood on a high ridge and browsed the entire village.

, even with his sharp eyes, he couldn't see the entire village clearly.

But Old Man Xia said that he saw Vanilla being chased in the dark night. At that time, Zhong Kui asked back, but unfortunately they all regarded him as a child, so how could they believe what he said!

Another problem is that Zhong Mingfa himself possesses evil energy, and it is only under the earnest guidance of the old Zhan Cao man that he can break away from the shackles of evil and become a real human being.

It's a pity that he was well-intentioned by Old Man Xia to do bad things. When he used evil methods on him, he released the evil energy lurking in Zhong Mingfa's body, allowing him to evolve into a werewolf form for the second time, and then harmed the people of Menling Village.

.

The bloodthirsty werewolf incident in Menling Village was finally solved, and Zhong Kui breathed a sigh of relief. In his mind, his father was not a bad person, but someone who artificially turned him into a bloodthirsty devil.

So the back figure that Vanilla saw in the dream was actually Zhong Mingfa who had come back from the dead.

Old Man Xia was so meticulous in his work that he deceived Zhong Kui, Zhi Qing, Wen Gen, and even the Minister of Arms.

So what happened to the empty tomb?

Zhiqing gave Zhong Kui this analysis: There should have been a coffin in the empty tomb, but it was moved by a few people. The people who moved the coffin were the two skeletons who died in the tomb, plus Old Man Xia.

When Old Man Xia was digging Butcher Yan's tomb, he found that this was the place where he was looking for a corpse. Then he asked his cousin Xia Zhi'an to help, and another friend of Xia Zhi'an moved the sarcophagus to another tomb.

go.

The sarcophagus is divided into five parts. The two sides are long and the weight is not light. The two sides are small and can be lifted on the shoulders by a person with a little strength.

What's more, the two tombs are not far apart, so it is easy to move them. In this way, this unfathomable transfer technique can be completed in one night.

After it was completed, Old Man Xia became murderous. He didn't want the third person to know about the sarcophagus for raising corpses. So he didn't let even his cousin go.

"Then how did he kill the two of them together? But what I saw was that they were entangled together?" Zhong Kui frowned and looked at Zhiqing in confusion and asked.

"That's the problem. Old Man Xia secretly told his cousin that he has a treasure. He got it from Zhong Mingfa. As long as his affairs are done well, he will give this treasure to his cousin."

"Well, Mr. Xia said that my father got the baby from a female corpse."

"The female corpse is a cover, and it is deliberately meant to deceive people. It is true to kill people and silence them. Old Man Xia asked his cousin to silence his friend, but in the end he drugged his cousin's bowl. The purpose was to make them

Both of them were injured and died in that unmanned grave." Zhiqing held the dagger and pointed it out to Zhong Kui and Wen Gen. The black tip of the dagger shone with a blue luster under the light of the kerosene lamp. "This is it.
