The strange case of the demon book

"So that's the case. I heard that Taoist priests catch ghosts and drive away zombies, isn't that right, Taoist priest?" Huo Wencai asked curiously with a smile.

"Do you believe that there are monsters and goblins in this world?" Daoist Zhang who had never looked at Huo Wencai looked up at Huo Wencai.

"I believe. Today I also heard from the neighbors that someone was chasing zombies on Taiping Street last night." Huo Wencai said with a smile.Daoist Zhang choked:

He didn't see anyone yesterday.Could it be that I have to force myself to follow the path of ghosts?

"Such rumors can be found everywhere." Daoist Zhang poured the rice balls from the bowl into his mouth, gave the money to Ma Wenrui and left.

"Wencai, you know that priest." Ma Wenrui, who saw Huo Wencai's rhetoric, said.

"Last night I saw him chasing zombies..." So Huo Wencai told what happened last night, but erased the part about entering Zhang Jue's house.

"Do you think you will see this Maoshan Taoist chasing zombies tonight?" Ma Wenrui suddenly asked enthusiastically.This kind of thing is exciting to think about.

"Let's not get involved." Huo Wencai said, hoping that the priest would quickly take the zombie away.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them handed over shifts with their brothers who were on duty during the day shift.When it was close to midnight, Huo Wen saw the old man wandering in place again.Huo Wen didn't know whether he should meddle in his own business. If he stayed on Taiping Street, he might have to face it every day in the future.

This is not an option either.

That's why Huo Wen stepped forward and said, "Master."

"Master Patrolman, I can't find my home, and I don't remember where my home is." The old man said anxiously.

"Master, do you still remember your name?" Now that you have decided to meddle in your own business, let's find a place to go home for the old man.

"My surname... eh? What's my surname? Why can't I remember..." the old man said to himself suspiciously.

Huo Wencai said to the old man: "Master, if you remember your name, you can go to the Red House and tell me."

"Oh, good. What's my last name? What's my name..." The old man stopped wandering and fell into thinking.

Huo Wen just returned to the Red House to meet Ma Wenrui and went to sleep.

Only the small red house was left, and the red house was lit with orange lights, and the lights came out from the windows and doors.Alone like a solitary boat.

"Jingle Bell--"

"Brothers, let's go—"

"Jingle Bell--"

The door of Zhang's house opened.A dozen zombies jumped out of it, Zhang Daochang rang the bell in his hand and said in his mouth, those zombies with the yellow talisman on their foreheads and their hands stretched out jumped out of Guangzhou city following the ringing of the bell in Zhang Daochang's hand.

When he was about to leave the gate of Guangzhou City, a sudden gust of wind came, and the wind carried a fragrance.Zhang Daochang raised his hand to block it, and then felt that the evil wind was coming.

He couldn't help seeing it—the yellow talismans on the foreheads of the nine zombies were all blown off.Those zombies "live".Zhang Daochang secretly thought something was wrong, and then took out the yellow talisman to restrain the fleeing zombies.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, yellow chrysanthemums flew towards him. Daoist Zhang retracted his hand and shouted loudly: "Who is coming! Show me your original shape!"

No one answered him, Zhang Daochang looked at the fleeing zombies, and hurried to catch up.If this zombie can't be chased back, the city of Guangzhou will be in chaos.

"Hmm..." Huo Wencai knocked off the face that was close to his neck and said in a daze, "Wen Rui, come over."

"Huhu..." Ma Wenrui was sound asleep.The head that had just been knocked off by himself leaned into Huo Wencai's neck again, and Huo Wencai refused impatiently.

Why is Wen Rui's face so cold and stiff?

Huo Wencai opened his eyes in a daze, and a face with black eyes, white face, open mouth and sharp teeth dripping saliva was placed in front of him.Huo Wen was so frightened that he yelled strangely and pushed the opponent out: "Zombie!"

The zombie rushed towards him suddenly, in this small place, Huo Wencai kicked the zombie one by one to prevent him from approaching himself and Ma Wenrui.

"Wen Rui! Wake up! Wake up! There are zombies!"

"Hmm... what zombie? What time is it?" Ma Wenrui stood up in a daze.It was only after seeing Huo Wen clearly that he kicked the zombie who was about to jump towards them, he woke up in fright.

"Ah! Why are there zombies here!" Ma Wenrui shouted.

"Jump down! Run away!" Huo Wencai said, the zombie was kicked to the wooden wall by him, then rushed towards him, and was lifted by him to the wooden wall.

After hearing Huo Wencai's words, Ma Wenrui hurriedly jumped off the second floor.Huo Wencai turned over and jumped off after seeing Ma Wenrui landed.

The zombie jumped upstairs following their scent.

"Run!" So the two ran out with all their strength.

"Why are there zombies?" Ma Wenrui asked while running.

"I don't know either!" Huo Wencai said, this matter must not have anything to do with Zhang Jue!

Ma Wenrui glanced back: "He's coming! He's coming! What should we do? What should we do?" Ma Wenrui was terrified.

"Go to Chenghuang Temple and hide!" Huo Wencai said.

"it is good!"

The two went to the Temple of the City God.In the silent Temple of the City God, only candles and cigarettes were lit, as well as tributes to God the City God.After the two arrived at the Town God's Temple, they closed the gate of the Town God's Temple and plugged it in.Ma Wenrui ran out of breath and leaned against the door: "Why did that thing appear!"

Thinking of the Taoist priest's row of zombies, Huo Wencai said, "I'm afraid something will happen to Guangzhou City."

An ominous premonition hangs over the two of them.After the zombie caught up, he slammed into the door.The two stood firmly behind the door. If the door was broken, who knew what would happen if they were bitten by them.

"It's really unlucky! We're going to hide here for one night." Ma Wenrui said.

The zombie bumped into it for more than 20 minutes, then jumped away.After a while, he didn't feel the sound of the zombie hitting the door again, so Ma Wenrui said cautiously, "Did the zombie leave?"

"do not know."

"How about we open the door and have a look?" Ma Wenrui said.

"Forget it, let's just sleep like this. Let's go to the police station when it dawns." Huo Wencai said.

"it is good."

The two lay down and fell asleep by the door, but how much sleep could they get?Ma Wenrui was worried about his father, while Huo Wencai was thinking about the zombie.

The city of Guangzhou is doomed to be restless tonight.

Bai Ziheng was there, Lingtong frowned and felt an inexplicable feeling that made him feel uncomfortable.He looked up at the moon tonight, it was almost the [-]th of July Ghost Festival...it's the Mid-Autumn Festival...

After daybreak, Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui hurried back to the police station.At this time, the police station was in chaos, and there were dozens of corpses in the hall, some of them were patrol brothers who were still on the night shift.

Wei Zong invited Dr. Xia Yan to examine the dozens of corpses.

"Doctor Xia, how are you doing?"

"They lost most of their blood, but they have no wounds or any wounds." Even Xia Yan, who is proficient in Chinese and Western medicine, didn't understand how it was done.

"Unless the blood on their bodies is drawn off." Xia Yan then stripped the corpses and inspected them carefully. Xia Yan finally found two pinhole-like holes on the neck: "I'm afraid, the blood came from these two tiny holes." out of the hole."

Wei Zong took a look and said, "I'm afraid we can't hide the death of so many people. We need more help from Dr. Xia in the future."

Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui stepped forward: "Brother Wei."

"I'll send someone to look for you, as long as I see that you're all right." Wei Zong stood up and said.

"We're fine. It's just that these things..." Ma Wenrui told what happened last night.

"Zombie?" Wei Zong said in surprise.

"Brother Wei, that's right. These people were all bitten to death by blood sucking by zombies. If those zombies are not found, I'm afraid Guangzhou City will be in danger." Huo Wencai said hastily.

"Ah——" Xia Yan's voice suddenly yelled, Wei Zong reacted quickly and drew his sword to chop off the dead body holding Xia Yan's arm, and then pierced through the heart of the dead body with a sword and nailed it to the ground.

Xia Yan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he removed the arm that was cut off by Wei Zong and was holding his hand: "I am afraid what the literati said is true."

Unexpectedly, the bitten person would turn into a zombie.

"Brother Wei, what should we do?"

"Yu Xian!"

"Here!" Yu Xian trotted forward.

"The whole city of Guangzhou is under martial law! Close the city gates and guard the waterways! No one is allowed to enter or leave! Send people to every street and alley in Guangzhou City to post notices, stay at home, lock the doors and windows and do not go out when the sun goes down!" Wei Zong sternly said.

"Yes!"

Xia Yan looked at the dozens of corpses that would rise at any time and said, "What about these corpses?"

"Crucify them all!" Wei Zong said.

After arranging everything, Yu Xian took people out to carry out the tasks assigned by Wei Zong.After the gates of Guangzhou City were closed and notices were pasted all over the streets and alleys, everyone fell into panic.The person who saw the zombie sucking blood last night told what he saw, which made everyone even more frightened.

Wei Zong asked the police to stab the hearts of those corpses with swords and then carried them to the morgue.Those who came to claim the corpses were allowed to be taken away by the other party. If there were no corpses, they were all burned in a few days.

Wei Zong called all the patrolmen together: "Brothers! I will take you to catch 'ghosts' at night, are you afraid!"

"Not afraid!" Those soldiers who had licked blood with Wei Zong on the battlefield replied imposingly.

"Okay! The people brought out by me, Wei Zong, are not cowards! Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui come out!" Wei Zong continued.

"Here!" The two came out!

"You two! Find that Taoist priest for me, no matter what the price is, catch him and bring him to me!"

"Yes!" The two replied!

"The captains of each team tonight..." Wei Zong continued to make arrangements.

After we parted, Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui went looking for that Maoshan Taoist without stopping.
