Hearing my second uncle say this, I was stunned again.
"What? Old Master Wei is missing?"
I asked in disbelief.
He was fine last night. I even specifically got talismans.
I had Wei Haiyun burn the coffin at the crematorium. How could something else have happened?
My face darkened, a bad feeling creeping in.
This was because Old Master Wei's corpse had too much death qi.
"Yes, yes, he's gone!
Old Wei just called me, saying the crematorium truck came to take away the coffin early this morning.
But there was a car accident halfway there.
The car overturned, and the coffin fell down the hillside.
They rushed down the hillside to search, and only the coffin was found, but the body was missing.
They searched from four in the morning until now and still haven't found the body.
So they called to ask what you should do?"
My second uncle finished in one breath.
After listening, my heart also leaped.
What kind of joke was this?
The body could just disappear?
"It's really lost?"
I confirmed again.
Because I had already thought of a very serious outcome, I just didn't want to believe it myself.
My second uncle nodded:
"Yes, that's what they said on the phone."
I let out a long sigh:
"It's over. It's probably a zhen shi (zombie)."
"Z-z-zombie?"
My second uncle's eyes widened in disbelief.
The corpse was so large; it couldn't just vanish into thin air.
If they searched for hours and still couldn't find it, it was definitely a zhen shi.
Even if it were eaten by wild beasts, there would be traces.
Other than a zhen shi.
I couldn't think of any other way the corpse could disappear without a trace.
"Yes, second uncle, I'll draw some talismans. You take them to the Wei family immediately."
"Oh, oh, okay!"
My second uncle nodded.
I returned to my room and quickly took out some yellow paper.
At the same time, I killed a yellow chicken from my home, ground its blood with cinnabar and glutinous rice, mixed it with ink, and began drawing "Town Evil Talismans."
My second uncle watched silently from the side.
I drew over a dozen talismans and finally gave them all to my second uncle:
"Second uncle, take these talismans to the Wei family and have them paste them on their doors.
Make sure they absolutely do not go out at night.
Also, have them notify their neighbors, otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be a matter of life and death."
My second uncle took the talismans, nodding repeatedly.
But he also asked:
"You're not going with them?"
I sighed and replied:
"My grandmother's matter hasn't been settled yet, I can't leave.
Tell the Wei family to search thoroughly during the day.
If they still can't find it, they should do as I said tonight.
If it truly is a zhen shi, that thing has just gained sentience, and its first target will be the Wei brothers, their direct bloodline.
But with my talismans for protection, it shouldn't be a big problem.
I'll head over there after I've dealt with my grandmother's affairs!"
My second uncle said "Oh" after listening and left with the talismans.
At this moment, I felt a headache coming on.
One wave had not subsided before another arose.
I didn't expect this Mid-Autumn Festival to be so difficult.
Fortunately, Old Mo was on his way.
Tonight, he could still help me.
Next, I continued drawing talismans.
Making talisman clothes, and drawing talismans on the windows and doors of my own house.
Practicing drawing talismans with my master every day was not in vain.
Although I was a bit breathless after drawing dozens of them, I could still handle it.
By the time I finished, it was already ten in the morning.
Grandmother's medicine was also decocted.
Grandmother was still sleeping, so I let the medicine cool for her.
It wasn't until past eleven in the morning that Old Mo's call came.
He said he had arrived at the village entrance and asked me to pick him up.
Hearing that Old Mo had arrived, I didn't hesitate.
I turned and left the house.
When I reached the village entrance, I saw Old Mo wearing a tracksuit, smoking at the entrance. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Old Mo!"
I called out.
Seeing me, Old Mo also waved excitedly:
"Hey! Brother Qin."
Then, we met.
Old Mo smiled and looked around:
"Our hometown is really nice, with beautiful mountains and clear water, and gifted people. It's just a bit bumpy riding a motorcycle up here; my butt is sore."
I smiled and gestured for him to come back with me first.
Old Mo grew up in the city and was curious about everything around him.
When we got to the house, he saw the tools and talismans for drawing placed in the living room and asked:
"Brother Qin, you're so diligent. Practicing talisman techniques diligently even during the holidays!"
Hearing Old Mo speak, I gave a wry smile:
"You think I want to!
The monsters from the Carefree Tower haven't been completely eliminated, and their remnants have already come looking for trouble. They almost harmed my grandmother last night.
I'm preparing to cut off their roots tonight."
"Ah! There's something like that?
Damn it, this is like they don't respect us as Children of Urban Exorcism.
My hands are itching. Tonight, we'll team up and take care of that thing..."
Old Mo said fiercely.
I nodded:
"That's what I was thinking..."
As I spoke, I told Old Mo the method my master taught me.
After listening, Old Mo readily agreed.
He said he would guard the entrance tonight.
As soon as anything happened at my house, he would come over immediately.
Besides that, I also told him that aside from my grandmother's matter.
There might be zombies appearing in the neighboring village.
When Old Mo heard this, his first reaction wasn't fear.
He became completely excited.
He said it was the perfect opportunity for us to show our skills.
He even asked if there was anything he could help with.
He said he wanted to team up with me to eliminate the yellow demon tonight and the zombies tomorrow night...
