Chapter 152 The Unfinished Flying Zombie Excavated Ahead of Schedule
Five minutes passed, and nothing happened.
Zhong Cai and Qi Ning both turned their gazes toward Chen Miao.
Chen Miao gestured to wait a little longer. During this time, Chen Miao closed his eyes and sensed the surrounding environment. The environment was normal, and there was no sign of being blinded by ghosts.
After another five minutes, Chen Miao went downstairs first.
Upon reaching the first floor, the three of them saw the two figures standing at the door.
Zhong Cai and Qi Ning became wary, but Chen Miao did not.
"Chen Miao, what's going on?"
Qi Ning asked.
"It's alright, the spirit tablets have taken effect and imprisoned them in place."
Chen Miao briefly explained the effects of the Soul-Suppressing Spirit Tablet to the two of them, and their eyes lit up.
"In that case, wouldn't we be able to get rid of all the ghosts in the empty houses in the village tonight?"
Chen Miao shook his head.
“I think the ghosts and zombies in this village are somewhat special. There seems to be some kind of connection between them, and it is very likely that one thing can affect the whole thing.”
"The reason I took out the spirit tablet was to avoid harming them and attracting unknown attacks."
Although Chen Miao's words were unfounded, neither Qi Ning nor Zhong Cai refuted them.
The situation in this village is already very strange. It's better to believe it's true than not to, otherwise you won't even know how you died.
"Then what do we do next?"
Qi Ning asked.
Chen Miao looked at the two ghosts in the spirit tablet and thought for a moment before saying, "What I mean is to capture all the ghosts and imprison them within the area of the spirit tablet."
Chen Miao knew that these ghosts were not particularly ferocious, so he was not afraid that they would break the Soul-Suppressing Field.
As he spoke, Chen Miao took out another spirit tablet from his bag.
“I still have a spirit tablet here. The next operation may not be as simple as this one, because those ghosts have already entered the house.”
"My idea is to leave one person here to guard the place, and the other two take the spirit tablets to catch ghosts."
"For every two you catch, seal them with the Ghost Cube and bring them back to be imprisoned in this Soul-Suppressing Field. Repeat this process until all the ghosts in those empty houses have been caught!"
After Chen Miao finished speaking, the two of them turned their attention to the spirit tablet at the doorway.
"Can this thing hold so many ghosts? If each household has two, there are at least seventy or eighty ghosts."
Qi Ning asked.
"Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways!"
Seeing Chen Miao say this, the other two did not object anymore.
Chen Miao originally planned to go with Qi Ning, but in the end, the two of them stayed behind.
Chen Miao is most familiar with the spirit tablets used to suppress souls, so he can resolve any problems that arise.
As for Zhong Cai's body, with the spirit tablet in place, the two of them don't need to go to great lengths. As long as there aren't many ghosts around and they're careful not to be misled by ghosts, simply holding the spirit tablet is enough to put them in an invincible position.
Therefore, Chen Miao agreed to the arrangement.
After the two left, Chen Miao pulled up a stool, sat down, and opened the book.
Looking at the new content in the book, Chen Miao seemed to be deep in thought.
……
"Using the spirit tablets, we managed to capture all the ghosts and spirits in one night."
"Looking at the shadowy ghosts within the range of the spirit tablet, I felt both relieved and worried that these ghosts might break out of the spirit tablet's range."
"Fortunately, these ghosts don't seem to have a strong desire to attack. Most of the time, they stay within the range of the Soul-Suppressing Field and keep an eye on us."
"Being stared at by dozens of eerie green eyes is indeed a bit unsettling."
"I was afraid that these ghosts wouldn't be able to withstand the sunlight after dawn, so I used two spirit tablets to move them to a corner of the room in turn. During this time, I quickly gathered some yin energy and stuffed it into the area of the spirit-suppressing field."
"Fish cannot live without water, and ghosts cannot live without yin energy. I am actually quite curious about where these ghosts were hiding before, since no place with strong yin energy has been found in the whole village."
"After daybreak, the ghosts trapped in the Soul-Suppressing Field weakened to varying degrees, but they did not dissipate immediately, so I was relieved."
"During the day, the three of us took turns resting for a few hours. Afterward, we went together to prop up the coffins in the empty room with benches so that they wouldn't touch the ground."
"Zhong Cai originally wanted to destroy the bottom talisman, but after my persuasion, he gave up the idea." "Soon, night fell again."
"The three of us worked together to do a lot of things during the time the zombies weren't cooking."
"We placed two pieces of wood at the bottom of each coffin, one in front and one behind, so that even when it was light the next day, the elderly people would hardly notice that the coffins had actually separated from the ground."
"Not only that, I also plugged up the two holes in the coffin. I want to see what will happen to these zombies after the Corpse Dissolving Curse is no longer effective and the coffin is broken."
"After waiting another day, we hid for the night and then saw the zombies enter the kitchen. To our surprise, this time the zombies moved very awkwardly."
"Soon, we heard various unusual clanging sounds coming from the kitchen. This time, the zombie stayed in the kitchen for more than three hours, and it wasn't until close to four in the morning that the zombie returned to the room."
"After that, the three of us went inside and saw the messy kitchen."
"The food is ready, but it's undercooked and the seasoning is uneven."
"I suddenly understood something, and immediately followed the other two to open the coffin."
"When we put talismans on the corpses and touched them, we all noticed the differences."
"The corpse is even more stiff than before!"
"If this continues, I'm afraid that in just a day or two, these corpses will become real zombies and will no longer be able to be cooked."
"This discovery excites us; after all, there has finally been some progress."
"But on the second day, we discovered another problem."
"Without zombies cooking, what will the elderly in the village eat?"
"Seeing the old man frowning as he ate that half-cooked rice made us all feel a little uneasy."
Were we wrong?
"No, that's right! The ones who are wrong are the ones who created all of this!"
"And so, on the evening of September 27th, the situation changed."
"Because the zombies could no longer cook, they did not return to their coffins by dawn, and their yang energy rose up and destroyed them."
"Just then, we felt a chill creep over us."
"A layer of gray mist appeared above Fengmen Village, and then we all heard a loud bang, followed by a roar that didn't sound like a human's!"
"Through the second-floor window, we saw a figure appear above the square on the west side of the village."
"The figure stood in mid-air for about three or four breaths before falling down."
"When we saw him again, he had already leaped more than ten meters, stepping on the rooftops of Fengmen Village, and was rushing towards us."
"The thing's appearance frightened us. Fortunately, there are no more ghosts or zombies in the village. We just need to deal with that thing, and maybe we can leave Fengmen Village."
"It's time to fight with our backs against the wall!"
"The three of us used all our resources: shared talismans, shared sprays, and the blessing of a peach wood sword. Just as we had everything ready in the courtyard, that thing arrived."
"In just one exchange, Qi Ning's heart was ripped out; the Ghost Cry Spray and peach charm on his body did not stop him in the slightest."
In shock, I threw out the triangle formed by the high-quality spirit-suppressing talismans in my hand. High-quality talismans can track ghosts, but they can't keep up with the speed of the other party at all.
"Just then, Zhong Cai's Seven-Star Peach Wood Sword, infused with exorcism talismans, blood-red talismans, and ghost-scream spray, pierced the thing's body, but unfortunately, it didn't break through even an inch!"
"The peach wood sword broke, and Zhong Cai's head was torn off."
"In just half a minute, I was the only one left out of the three!"
"Just as I charged forward, enveloped in the scent of incense smoke and wielding the blessed century-old Seven Star Peach Wood Sword, I heard a sentence."
"Burning incense... means death!"
"That voice came from that thing's mouth; it's actually conscious!"
"My surprise did not affect my sword strike, but the sword was still dodged, my wrist was broken, and my neck was strangled."
"The incense smoke surrounding me did not penetrate into the other person's body as I had expected."
"On my deathbed, I saw the other person take a stick of incense from my bag and put it in my mouth."
"I am dead."
