One must know that the ink-bound coffin wood, when a iron coffin is used for burial, does not raise ordinary zombies.
The zombies it raises.
Have strong flesh and bodies, and the most terrifying thing is the indelible corpse poison.
And if a corpse is pieced together from such zombies, what kind of terrifying degree would it reach? It would not be an exaggeration to say it was nurtured by the strengths of a hundred families.
One can imagine.
Once pieced together, let alone the strength of the zombies.
But one thing is certain.
This 'corpse' has immense potential and can definitely grow to the level of a Zombie King in the future.
"Damn it, what the hell is this corpse raiser trying to do?"
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Zhang Chao broke out in a cold sweat:
"Is this trying to recreate the tragedy of Fengmen Village?"
Because he knew that Zhang Wei was a self-taught ghost exorcist, Wunian feared that Zhang Wei might not know about the Fengmen Village incident.
Wunian then explained to Zhang Wei:
"Amitabha, the Fengmen Village zombie incident is real."
"The Fengmen Village incident was caused by a zombie back then."
"That zombie was also buried in an iron coffin."
"And compared to the one Zhang Wei performed..."
Wunian recalled Zhang Wei's previous words.
He then changed his wording to remove the term "benefactor."
"Compared to the iron coffin zombie you killed, Zhang Wei, it was much more powerful. That zombie had great potential and could become a Zombie King. It was also close to becoming a Zombie King, otherwise the seniors from Longhu Mountain who acted at that time would not have died."
Zhang Wei nodded. Lu Lianxue had told him about the Fengmen Village incident.
However, Lu Lianxue only mentioned that the zombie was powerful.
She hadn't told him that the zombie was close to becoming a Zombie King.
Thinking about it this way.
It was no wonder that zombie was imprisoned by the Wei Dao Division.
One must know that a Zombie King is equivalent to the level of a Ghost King. Ordinary methods are difficult to kill it, let alone a zombie grown from an iron coffin zombie.
On the other side.
While Zhang Wei and Wunian were talking.
Zhang Chao was not idle.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Captain, you brat, stop playing with your turtle, something big is about to happen."
A fluent Sichuan dialect came from Zhang Chao's mouth.
The next second.
A spicy female voice came from the phone.
"You brat, what are you talking about! Believe it or not, I'll scatter your ashes."
"My precious is a money turtle, you don't understand anything, damn it."
"And why are you looking for me in the middle of the night? If you don't give me a good reason, next time I break into your place, I'll smash your damn head to pieces."
Listening to the two bicker back and forth.
Zhang Wei was stunned.
Wunian on the side immediately clasped his hands together and shook his head: "Amitabha, sin, sin."
Saying that.
He did not forget to explain to Zhang Wei.
"Zhang Chao and the captain are cousins. They grew up together and often bicker like this. You'll get used to it."
Zhang Wei nodded, watching with interest as Zhang Chao and his sister bickered and recounted the events of the night.
Then.
As if thinking of something.
He looked at Wunian on the side and asked.
"No, didn't you say you're from Mount Wutai, which is in Shanxi Province, not the Northeast? However, your master told you to go down the mountain to find a destined encounter to break the calamity, so it's understandable why you came to the Northeast."
"And Zhang Chao and his sister are from Sichuan Province, so why did they also come to the Northeast?"
"Why are the Northeast Wei Dao Division members all from out of town?"
He originally thought Zhang Chao was a local from the Northeast.
Now he realized that Zhang Chao wasn't local, and they came to the Northeast Wei Dao Division together as siblings.
Logically speaking.
Local ghost exorcists would take positions in the Wei Dao Division, unless it was a trial assignment from a prestigious sect, wouldn't they choose to be Wei Dao Division personnel in their own territory?
"Amitabha, actually, I came down the mountain to find a destined encounter to break the calamity, and it wasn't in the Northeast."
"Like Zhang Chao, I am from the Sichuan Province Wei Dao Division."
"However, last week, we received notice from the division to transfer to the Northeast to assist the Northeast Wei Dao Division."
As soon as he said that.
Zhang Wei remembered what Lu Lianxue had told him before.
Recently, the Wei Dao Division in the Northeast region had been very busy, having not rested for several consecutive months, and had been on missions to deal with ghosts and evil spirits.
"It seems the Northeast is more turbulent than I imagined."
Zhang Wei murmured in his heart.
One must know that the Northeast is different from other places; it is the home of the famous Chu Ma families.
The Chu Ma families have the five families of Hu, Huang, Liu, Bai, and Hui.
These five families exist like local overlords, especially the Hui family, which are rats, and they are numerous.
However, with the five great Chu Ma families guarding the territory.
Coupled with the powerful official giant, the Northeast Wei Dao Division.
They were still overwhelmed.
This clearly indicated that the ghosts and evil spirits appearing in the Northeast were not only numerous but possibly also difficult to deal with in terms of strength, otherwise the Northeast Wei Dao Division would not have had to apply for personnel from other regions.
After thinking for a moment.
Zhang Wei curiously asked.
"Wunian, has something happened in the Northeast recently? It's impossible for a large number of ghosts and evil spirits to appear for no reason."
"Is it convenient to reveal it?"
"Satisfy my curiosity."
Wunian smiled and shook his head:
"Even if you ask me, I actually don't know."
"I am only an Eagle Guard level personnel, and the frequent appearance of ghosts and evil spirits covering the Northeast region must be a major event."
"How could I possibly know."
"For such major events, at least someone like Captain Zhang, who is a Tiger Guard level, would be able to know."
"However."
At the end of his speech.
Before Zhang Wei could nod.
Wunian suddenly changed the subject, with a mysterious and smiling look at Zhang Wei, uncharacteristically being coy.
Zhang Wei rolled his eyes upon hearing this.
"Wunian, have you learned bad habits from me, Zhang Chao? You've even learned to be coy."
"My grandfather and the older generation said that monks should not be coy; being coy will shorten their lifespan by half."
"Hurry up and tell me if you've heard anything."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know. If I tell anyone, my phone will lose signal when I go to the bathroom."
Wunian was amused and exasperated.
He had just playfully decided to be coy for a moment, but he couldn't outwit Zhang Wei, this 'city dweller.'
Shaking his head.
He said.
"Actually, Zhang Wei, you don't need to make such solemn vows. You can find out what I've heard from any local Wei Dao Division member in the Northeast."
"In the Northeast, the frequent appearance of ghosts and evil spirits began three months ago."
"Especially in the last month, it has become even more frequent."
"This is why the Wei Dao Division had to apply for personnel support."
"As for why this situation occurred."
"The higher-ups haven't said anything, but some ghost exorcists speculate."
"Some say it might be a problem with the dragon脉 (dragon veins)."
"Others say it's because one of the Grand Elders of the Five Great Chu Ma families is nearing the end of his lifespan and is about to pass away, which has attracted the covetousness of other evil forces."
"There are also those who say that a national-level artifact is about to appear in the Northeast, emitting an aura that attracts ghosts and evil spirits."
"These are the three most common theories, and there are many other theories."
"In my personal opinion, these three are the most reliable."
