Chapter 25 Taoist Encounters Zombies
During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism were both called the three religions. Emperor Wen of Sui advocated the reconciliation of religion and Confucianism, adopted the strategy of paying equal attention to the three religions, and tolerating Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were used to govern the country with mutual support. Although Emperor Wen of Sui valued Buddhism and even rejected Confucianism in his later years, he still attached great importance to Taoism.
Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, although Buddhism reached its peak, Taoism was also developing silently.
There is an interesting difference between Buddhism and Taoism.
The world is in the balance, Buddhism opens Buddhism and attracts believers, but in chaotic times, the Buddhist gate is closed and there is no dispute with the world.
Taoism is just the opposite. In the prosperous times of the heavens, Taoists all live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. They should refine elixirs and cultivate immortals. However, in the chaotic times, Taoism will go deep into the world and save the world with a can of sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacr
At this time, Emperor Yang of Sui was in power for five years, and chaos was already happening in the world. At this time, it was the time when Taoist masters came out.
In a small county like Hejin County, there is a small Taoist temple called Dengyun Taoist temple.
Guanzhong Taoist chief is named Wuwei, and Master Wuwei is extremely well-known in Hejin County.
The reason why Taoist Master Wuwei has a high reputation is not that he is so powerful in suppressing demons and catching ghosts, but mainly because of his medical skills.
On this day, Taoist Master Wuwei was enlightened in the Taoist temple, but suddenly he was invited by Captain Zhang to the yamen.
When the magistrate Chu saw Taoist Master Wuwei coming, he quickly welcomed him, "Thank you for your hard work. Taoist Master Wuwei, this time, I want to ask you if you will catch zombies?"
Taoist Master Wuwei shook his hand slightly, and then calmed down, "Monk Chu County, monks do not deceive the heavens, people, hearts, and worldly affairs. Although I understand some methods of geography, techniques of observing appearances, principles of medicine, and general magic, which can transform souls and make methods, but I have not learned the ability to subdue demons well."
The magistrate Chu frowned and said impatiently, "Oh, if you didn't learn well, you'll still know."
Taoist Master Wuwei was stunned for a moment. County Magistrate Chu's logical reasoning ability was really impressive. He could actually get the answer he wanted so quickly.
"Mr. Chu County, this..."
"Don't do this, Taoist priest, I believe you have heard about the tragic deaths of villagers in several villages in the suburbs of the county. We have witnessed that it was done by zombies. This matter is related to the safety of the people in the county. Please give the people the most important things and give it a try!" As he said that, the magistrate of Chu immediately raised his hands over his head and bowed deeply to Taoist priest Wuwei.
Taoist Master Wuwei was actually very shocked. He naturally believed in the existence of zombies. After all, he was a Taoist priest, but he had never really seen a zombie who could kill people.
This is still a bit strange.
"Sir, are you sure you are a zombie?"
The magistrate Chu stood up and said, "Master, I just asked two witnesses. They were all witnesses and they were indeed doing it by zombies."
"Master Taoist, I have been buried by the dead before. If you want to dig it out, it is disrespectful to the deceased. Please stay in the county yamen for a few days before we see the development of the situation."
Since it was the county magistrate who issued the order, Taoist Master Wuwei had to obey and temporarily lived in the county yamen courtyard.
After leaving the inner courtyard, Lin Zhubo came to the side of the magistrate Chu and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Chu, are you sure there will be another murder case?"
The magistrate Chu shook his head, "I don't know, if I could predict the future, I would have delayed so long? But you don't need to worry. If there is any, let him see it. If there is no, it's not the best!"
Master Lin nodded and said, "Sir, if there is a real life case, this Taoist Master Wuwei finds that he is not a zombie, how can we announce the announcement?"
The magistrate of Chu looked at Lin Zhubo impatiently and said, "There are no zombies? You won't think of a way to get one out! Is this necessary for you to teach you?"
Master Lin turned his eyes and immediately understood the boss's meaning. He hurriedly sighed, "Secretary of Guan Yu, Lord Chu, you are such a clever plan!"
………………………………………
The best plan for the magistrate of Chu County is to be empty.
Four days later, another murder occurred.
A murder case occurred in Zhaojia Village, Shilipo, the northern suburb of the county town. All 58 people died tragically. The death was exactly the same as that of the villagers in Panjia Village.
Captain Zhang and the team of detectives have now become a full-time funeral convoy. The group of people pushed a pile of corpses with carts and transported them to the county munitions.
However, it is worth mentioning that Captain Zhang secretly received a special task - Lin Zhubo's nephew Lin Shujie, after some disguise, he mixed into this group of corpses.
When the corpses were placed in the county yard, 58 corpses turned into 59.
When he saw so many corpses with extremely miserable deaths, Master Wuwei spoke and spit out lunch and breakfast.
The others looked at Master Wuwei indifferently until he vomited yellow gallbladder, and shook his head contemptuously.
Can't stand this level? It's so weak!
They're used to it...
After vomiting for a while, Master Wuwei finally recovered. He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk to a corpse.
Captain Zhang cooperated very well with a big knife to lift the straw mat on the body, "Master Wuwei, see if this is done by zombies."
Master Wuwei's face was a little pale, but he still held it down and squatted down to check.
"There are many tooth marks near the wound, and the marks look like they are bitten by someone. Captain Zhang helped me get a pair of chopsticks."
Soon, the chopsticks came.
Master Wuwei pried open the mouth of the zombie, "There are flesh and blood left in this person's mouth, but no fangs were born."
I opened the eyes of the corpse and saw only a pair of blood-red eyes.
Then, Master Wuwei lifted up the sleeves of the corpse.
"The muscles are shriveled, the nail tips are long, but they are not black. There are blood and blood in the cracks of the nails."
Captain Zhang didn't look down on Taoist Master Wuwei at first, but after the Taoist Master's examination conclusions, it was even more detailed than the coroner, which made Captain Zhang respect Taoist Master Wuwei.
The most handsome man who works hard is the most handsome. Taoist Master Wuwei, who is over fifty years old, is very handsome.
He quickly inspected several corpses, and finally stood up and breathed a long sigh, with deep eyebrows. "The "Daqianlu" records that zombies have stiff limbs, not low heads, eyes, legs, corpses do not rot, fangs, and purple-black armor. But these corpses do not fully match."
"However, there is a lot of flesh and blood in their mouths, which is very likely left by biting others. Moreover, their limbs are hard and similar to zombies..."
Master Wuwei is defending himself, and no one else can interrupt.
After careful consideration, Master Wuwei walked to the magistrate of Chu County, "Mr. Chu, I can't judge for the time being. But I have a way to determine whether he is a zombie."
The magistrate of Chu hurriedly said, "What method, tell me quickly."
"Actually, it's very simple, that is, leave these corpses here for the night."
