Chapter 183: Fighting Zombies in the Ancestral Hall
"That zombie dared to come out in broad daylight. Village chief, you are not mistaken."
Uncle Jiu stood up suddenly. In all his years of studying Taoism, he had only seen one zombie that could come out during the day.
It’s Nintendo, but Nintendo has been given drugs so that it can appear during the day without being afraid of the sun.
What's going on with this zombie?
"It's absolutely true, Master Lin.
The zombie broke into Old Man Li's house in broad daylight and bit his granddaughter to death.
Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise there would be no one to report the news."
The village chief said with lingering fear.
Uncle Jiu also realized the seriousness of the matter and decided to go to Old Man Li’s house to check the situation first.
When they arrived at Old Man Li's house, the scene was in a mess.
Uncle Jiu saw the body of a girl whose blood had been sucked dry, and he was filled with grief.
"This zombie is so ferocious, we must destroy it as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Uncle Jiu said to the village chief seriously.
The village chief nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would fully cooperate with Uncle Jiu in capturing zombies.
It is now late afternoon, the time of the day when the sun is the hottest. Even if the zombie could come out during the day, it would not choose now.
Uncle Jiu asked the village chief to gather the remaining people in the village.
First clear out the bitten corpses to prevent new zombies from spawning.
The village chief nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.
With the village chief following, the villagers were willing to open the door.
It turns out that Yangtan Village is also a wealthy village with more than a thousand people.
There are zombies now, some people run away and some are bitten to death by zombies.
There are only about 200 people left in the entire village, and a small number of them are elderly people who can't run.
Uncle Jiu instructed everyone to check house by house, and if they found a body, they were not to move it but to notify him first.
He also asked the elders in the village to collect some litchi firewood to prepare for burning the body.
More than an hour later, Uncle Jiu and the villagers came back carrying more than a dozen bodies.
There were both men and women, all of whom were bitten to death by zombies last night.
Some even showed signs of transformation.
Fortunately, it is daytime now, otherwise these corpses might explode at any time.
After carrying the body onto the firewood pile, Uncle Jiu lit the litchi firewood.
"Village Chief, how did you deal with those people who were bitten earlier?"
When the village chief heard Uncle Jiu’s question, he answered.
“Those whose families didn’t recognize them were parked at the village office, while those whose families did recognize them were parked in their own yards. Later, they would bite anyone they saw.
After biting people, they disappeared for some reason.”
"It's stupid. These corpses could turn into zombies at any time. Anyone who has been scratched, please stand up."
Uncle Jiu felt helpless, as one thing after another arose.
At this time, several men with pale faces walked out from the crowd.
Uncle Jiu looked at their wounds. Fortunately, they were not deep and the poison had not entered their heart meridians.
But if you ignore it, the poison will attack your heart when dark comes.
Uncle Jiu took out glutinous rice and applied it to them briefly to slow down the infiltration of the corpse poison.
Several people felt as if their wounds were being burned by fire and were sweating profusely from the pain.
"Find some more glutinous rice, grind it into paste, and let them soak in it. Then find some snake medicine to apply on the wound.
The village chief said that the zombie will come again tonight, and even those who have been transformed into zombies will follow.
Is there any larger place in the village?
It can accommodate more than two hundred people."
When the village chief heard that the zombies were coming again, he became panicked.
A villager nearby said, "The ancestral hall in the Taoist village can hold hundreds of people."
"Good! The ancestral hall is good! With the ancestral tablets there, it can hold off some enemies a little bit. Let's choose the ancestral hall."
Uncle Jiu said happily.
Then he asked everyone to gather at the ancestral hall with dry food, and he asked the village chief to lead the way and make some arrangements.
The reason why Uncle Jiu has such a stable mentality is because of the two silver talismans Lu Li gave him.
Lu Li originally drew ten silver talismans and left seven for Maoshan to use as guardian of the mountain.
He took three pieces of the Sky Fire Talisman, the Heavy Water Talisman, and the Earth-Splitting Talisman for himself.
Except for the Heavy Water Yuan Fu that Lu Li kept for himself, he gave the other two to Uncle Jiu for protection.
Uncle Jiu felt more at ease touching the talisman in his arms that exuded enormous magical power.
If there is really no other choice, I will use up a silver talisman to get rid of this zombie that is harming the people.
Arriving at the ancestral hall, Uncle Jiu took a look around inside and found that the place was indeed large enough.
However, there is a backdoor, which is not conducive to defense.
Uncle Jiu didn't care whether the village chief would be surprised or not. He directly took out various talismans and magical instruments from the talisman and began to arrange them in the ancestral hall.
Fortunately, there was the talisman for storing things, which allowed Uncle Jiu to bring a lot of talismans with him before he went out, otherwise it would not be enough.
As the villagers arrived one after another, Uncle Jiu had people block the back door and stick a few talismans on it.
He found a table, took out the ritual implements and began to set up the altar.
At present, the enemy outnumbers us, and Uncle Jiu can only rely on the power of the formation.
There was either no time to set up other formations or there was a lack of magical tools, so the best he could think of was the Seven Star Formation.
Use seven lamps to borrow the power of the Big Dipper in the sky to strengthen your own cultivation.
Uncle Jiu was originally a half-step golden elixir, and with the help of the Seven Star Formation, he could resist for a while even if the golden elixir stage came.
All the arrangements were completed and the sky gradually darkened.
Now the ancestral hall is completely silent except for the occasional sound of chewing dry food.
The two hundred villagers have lost their courage after being harassed by zombies for days.
Some parents even cover their children's mouths tightly, for fear that any sound would attract zombies.
Uncle Jiu had no good solution for this situation.
The only thing we can do is to eliminate the zombies and let them regain their confidence in life.
Night finally fell and the villagers gathered in the ancestral hall, nervously waiting for the arrival of the zombies.
Uncle Jiu sat quietly aside, resting his eyes, while paying attention to the movements around him.
Suddenly, a strange noise came from outside. Uncle Jiu opened his eyes suddenly and stood up with a peach wood sword in his hand.
He signaled the villagers to remain quiet and walked towards the door cautiously.
At this moment, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed down with a loud bang by a huge force.
A zombie emitting a foul stench and with a ferocious look in its eyes appeared in front of everyone.
When Uncle Jiu saw the villagers in the ancestral hall, he actually saw excitement in the eyes of this zombie.
"Light up!"
Uncle Jiu shouted and rushed forward with a peach wood sword.
In the back, the village chief hurriedly lit the seven oil lamps with talismans attached to them on the altar.
Seven rays of light suddenly shot down from the sky.
Uncle Jiu felt a surge of mana in his body, and with this power, he directly consecrated the thousand-year-old peach wood sword.
Increase lethality.
"You evil beast, look at the sword!"
Uncle Jiu stood up and stabbed the zombie's throat with the peach wood sword.
However, the peach wood sword pierced the zombie's throat but failed to seriously injure it as Uncle Jiu had expected.
The zombie merely took a few steps back and then pounced again.
Uncle Jiu was startled and quickly used his footwork to dodge.
He realized that this zombie was much more powerful than he had imagined, and it would be difficult to subdue it with just a peach wood sword.
So he threw out a few yellow corpse-suppressing talismans and stuck them on the zombies' heads.
Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a burst of fire coming out of the zombie's head, and the corpse-suppressing talisman actually started to burn.
"It's become a sperm!"
Uncle Jiu’s eyes became more serious.
The blessed peach wood sword cannot break the defense, the corpse-suppressing talisman is useless, this zombie is at least at the jumping zombie level.
He knew that the longer he delayed, the more disadvantageous the situation would become for him, and the Seven Star Formation also had a time limit.
Uncle Jiu dodged the zombie's claws and used the power of the earth veins to temporarily restrain the zombie.
He pulled out a purple talisman and threw it up.
"boom!"
Flames rose and black smoke billowed into the sky.
The zombie was immediately engulfed by the golden flames.
Seeing this, Uncle Jiu felt relieved. If a zombie was hit by the Three Flavors True Fire Talisman, it would definitely die.
Turning around, Uncle Jiu said, "Put away the altar! The zombies have been eliminated."
