I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 46 Mao Zheng
"grown ups!"

Several guards behind him wanted to stop him, but were stopped by Lao Du and Lin Bao. With this adult's ability, if he really wanted to use ruthless force, no one here could stop him. There must be a reason for such an extraordinary action.

Moreover, even if something happened, it was Lord Zhang himself who did it, so it couldn't be blamed on these military officers. The worst that could happen was a hold accountable for inadequate supervision.

boom!
What was beyond Lin Bao's expectation was that the adult's knife was not just a scare, but actually chopped Yang Jie's face.

The force was so powerful that, although it didn't seem like it was done by a famous master, the force seemed quite strong. An ordinary person's facial bones would have been cut in half. But the next scene was even more shocking.

The big knife hit Yang Jie's face, creating a spark, and the knife in Zhang Rui's hand flew out.

A group of scholars who had woken up were about to scold angrily, but they were all stunned and couldn't say a word.

"Sir, this is..." Lin Bao approached cautiously. Only a shallow white mark was left on Yang Jie's pale face, without even a drop of blood. In addition, the opponent had black lips and fine white hair all over his body. Lin Bao subconsciously grasped the handle of the knife.

He always felt that this guy might jump up at any time.

"Hairy zombie." Zhang Rui rubbed his wrist and said.

When he was slashing at the person just now, he was swinging the knife and did not hold the handle tightly, so only the knife was blown away and his wrist was slightly injured, otherwise his palm would probably be cracked by now.

"Hairy zombie?" Lin Bao looked confused.

Zhang Rui looked at the other party and said, "You northerners, don't you know what a hairy zombie is? You've been a military officer for so many years, and you've never encountered one?"

Lin Bao and others shook their heads, and Zhang Rui frowned when he heard that.

Mao Jiang is a very common evil spirit in my scrapped designs. It is caused by the resentment of the dead after death, which turns the body into a zombie.

This thing will absorb water vapor, causing drought on the earth and imbalance of feng shui. People killed by the hairy zombies will turn into hairy zombies. When there are many of them, large areas will become extremely dry. When the scale is large, the land will be barren for thousands of miles, so it is also called the drought demon.

Even high-end evil spirits like Hua Ling and Chun appeared here, but no one has ever seen Mao Jiang, which is such a common and easy-to-form evil spirit?

It shouldn't be
Zhang Rui felt that something must have happened. It would be fine if there was no such evil spirit in this world, but if there was, such a thing was actually very easy to form. Why had Lin Bao, who looked like an experienced military officer, never even heard of it?

"Sir, I don't know what the hairy zombie you are talking about is, but is it an evil spirit?"

"I guess so." Zhang Rui nodded.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was so frightened that they moved away from the corpses.

"Sir, if such an invulnerable monster suddenly attacks and injures someone, how do we deal with it?"

"This thing won't get up unless it touches live blood or a black cat." Zhang Rui looked at the corpses that died in strange ways and said, "It doesn't matter if it gets up. This thing has a stiff body and its movements are unchanged. You can injure it by smearing it with human blood. It's not difficult to deal with it. The key is the thing behind it."

What Zhang Rui was really afraid of was the thing that trapped them here. That thing could make people fall asleep, and when they woke up, they would turn into hairy zombies. How did it do that?
Hairy zombies can only form in places with extremely heavy yin energy. If this thing can be formed overnight, how heavy is the yin energy here?
Yin energy?

Zhang Rui suddenly came to his senses. The bone-chilling cold here at night might not be caused by anything strange, but simply by the yin energy?
In a place with abundant yin energy, the body will be strengthened with essence and blood and will naturally be immune to all evil. But if the yang energy dissipates, one will naturally die, just like carbon dioxide poisoning. If the body absorbs too much of some things, it naturally cannot bear it.

After death, the person will turn into a hairy zombie due to the excessive yin energy.

The question is where does such a heavy yin energy come from?

"You..." Zhang Rui looked at the stupefied and distraught fat scholar who was closest to him and said, "The one who died this morning was called Lin Ye, right? You said he was carried away by his own groom. Where did he go?"

The fat man was in a trance at this time. When Zhang Rui shouted at him, he pointed to the northwest of the door and said tremblingly: "Over there"

"How many carriages do you have? How many drivers?"

"There are ten of us in total. We rented four carriages and four drivers."

Zhang Rui glanced at Lao Du beside him. Lao Du understood what he meant and hurried out to investigate. In less than a moment, he hurried back and reported, "Sir, their four carriages are all here."

Several drivers turned pale with fright upon hearing this. Where did the coachman who was carrying Lin Ye go without getting on the coach?
"You came from Yunzhou. If the driver wanted to send the body back, he should have taken the same route as us. But we didn't meet him on the road, which only means that he didn't go back at all."

"Then where did it go?" Several scholars looked around in fear.

"Could it be that Lin Linye came back to life and bit the driver to death?" the fat man stammered.

"If that's all, it's still a small matter," Zhang Rui sighed. Several scholars swallowed their saliva. A zombie bit someone, is this still a small matter?
"Sir, are you saying that the situation is worse?" Lin Bao asked hurriedly.

According to what the adults said just now, even if these hairy zombies wake up, they are not troublesome things, and there is a high possibility that the situation will be worse.

"Sir, there's something going on outside!"

Suddenly, the guard outside the gate stumbled in, looking extremely terrified.

"What's wrong?" Lin Bao frowned. The Wuchai was his confidant. He had followed him in handling many cases and had seen many evil spirits. He was quite brave. How could he be scared like this?
"Let's go and take a look." Zhang Rui signaled, and Lin Bao quickly led the way outside.

Everyone followed behind, and when they got outside, everyone's scalp suddenly felt tingling.

Outside the temple, there were densely packed figures, but everyone knew that they were definitely not humans.

In the ice and snow, those people had pale faces, black lips, and long, black nails. Their pairs of green eyes were staring at the place, which was creepy to watch.

"Where did these ghost things come from?"

A group of military officers drew their swords, but seeing the number of people outside, their hands were shaking as they held the swords.

At a glance, there were at least thousands of people outside.

"Master Ma San?" Lin Bao suddenly saw a familiar figure and said in disbelief.

Zhang Rui looked over and saw a hairy zombie covered in black hair with a hint of black aura. It was obvious that it was quite old.

"you know?"

"Sir." Lin Bao swallowed his saliva and said, "I know that there were actually people living on this barren mountain in the past. There was a village with a population of a hundred people, named Majia Village. The villagers were very good at hunting and digging ginseng. Master Ma San was a very famous ginseng hunter more than ten years ago. There was an avalanche here that year, and the entire Majia Village disappeared. Their bodies were never found. I didn't expect that they turned into what you call hairy zombies and have been hiding in this mountain ever since."

"They didn't hide in the mountains." Zhang Rui shook his head: "Look carefully behind them, where is the road we took just now?"

When everyone heard what was said, they looked and immediately noticed something different. Just now, everyone's attention was on these zombies that suddenly appeared, and they didn't notice that the scenery outside seemed to have changed completely. Although there was still ice and snow, there was obviously a bridge behind it. Although it was covered by thick fog, they could still see it if they looked closely. There was a huge bridge vaguely visible behind the fog!
Where in this desolate mountain area is there such a big bridge?

"The hairy zombie is a corpse mixed with the yang. It is an extremely yin creature, but it also mingles with the yang world. If it drinks living blood, it will completely cut off its yin path and become an evil spirit in the yang world. But if it has not yet drunk blood, it is in between yin and yang and can open the yin path. It is said that if someone is not afraid of death and carries a hairy zombie that has not seen blood, they will be able to see the underworld."

"My lord, you said that the thing in the fog is the underworld?" Lin Bao and the others widened their eyes. As military officers of the border army, they had seen many evil things, but this was the first time they had seen the rumored underworld.

It is rumored that after death, people will be taken away by the underworld, judged by Yama, and undergo the six reincarnations, but some people say it is true while others say it is false.

At least I haven't heard of anyone seeing it, including those famous families.

"If it's the underworld, these zombies shouldn't be able to come out," Zhang Rui frowned.

This is a design I made in my scrapped draft. There are only Yin and no Yang in the underworld. Once a hairy zombie goes in, it shouldn't be able to come out, unless the underworld is broken.

"What could that be?" Lin Bao asked, swallowing.

"Anyway, it's not the underworld." Zhang Rui narrowed his eyes and recalled everything that had happened recently.

The temple, the barren mountain, the Queen Green Phoenix, the god who controls the wind and rain of the four seasons, and all the people Yang Jie lured in were scholars.

How does all this connect?
There are so many hairy zombies. What is the person behind the scenes or the evil spirit behind the scenes trying to do by doing so many things?
It always feels very confusing, as if there is no connection between them, but Zhang Rui always feels that the thing behind the scenes is trying to do something by putting all of this together.

"Sir, why do you say this is not the underworld?"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice appeared among the crowd of corpses.

Everyone suddenly became nervous. Can these zombies talk?

Zhang Rui also became nervous. He looked over and saw a woman with black air all over her body walking out of the fog. Her eyes were bloodshot, completely different from the oppressive feeling given by the densely packed zombies.

As soon as he appeared, Lin Bao and others felt like they could hardly breathe.

Talking hairy zombie
Zhang Rui's heart trembled. According to his own setting, when Mao Zombie reached this stage, he was no different from a land immortal.
