Upon opening the coffin lid and seeing Old Master Ren inside, the two exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, he's gotten so fat!"
"Looks like he's about to turn into a zombie," Wang Han said, carefully observing the body. The corpse of Old Master Ren in the coffin was already somewhat shriveled, and the black aura within it was even denser. Long black fingernails had also grown on his hands.
"Quickly cover it up," Uncle Nine said hastily. He then instructed the two men, "Prepare paper, pen, ink, knife, and sword."
"What?" Qiu Sheng and the other man were somewhat confused. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
"Yellow paper, red pen, black ink, kitchen knife, wooden sword," Uncle Nine said delicately.
"Oh." Upon hearing this, the two finally understood and hurried off to prepare.
Wang Han asked Uncle Jiu, "Why did this corpse turn into a zombie?"
Uncle Nine said, "People are divided into good people and bad people, and corpses are divided into zombies and dead corpses."
Wen Cai interjected, "People aren't just divided into good people and bad people; there are also men and women."
Uncle Nine glared at Wencai and angrily rebuked him, "Why are you interrupting when Master is speaking?"
After Wencai shut up, Uncle Jiu continued, "Old Master Ren's corpse is about to become a zombie. A person becomes a bad person because he is not ambitious, and a corpse becomes a zombie because he has an extra breath. Before a person dies, if he is angry, holds his breath, or feels resentful, then after he dies, there will be a breath gathered in his throat that he cannot swallow."
"In other words, they died with a dark resentment they couldn't swallow. After death, this resentment turned them into zombies." Wang Han asked doubtfully, "But Uncle Jiu, so many people die with resentment in their hearts, why do only such a small percentage become zombies?"
"It's because the resentment isn't strong enough. Many become vengeful ghosts, jealous ghosts, evil ghosts, and some can't even become vengeful ghosts. It's also because of the relationship between the tomb and the yin energy," Uncle Nine explained. "Ordinary ghosts are different from zombies. As long as a ghost has enough resentment, it can become a vengeful ghost. A corpse needs to be nurtured by yin energy for a period of time before it becomes a zombie. The earth is close to the Yellow Springs, and there is yin energy underground. It's just more concentrated in tombs. The difference between different tombs is just a matter of how much."
"Then why do people who are bitten by zombies also turn into zombies, almost without exception? Don't they need to be nurtured?" Wang Han continued to ask.
"That's because zombies contain corpse poison," Uncle Nine explained.
"Could you elaborate a bit more?" Wang Han asked.
"Zombies and ghosts can gather the yin energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the moon, so they mostly appear at night," Uncle Nine explained. "People who are bitten to death by zombies already have resentment, and with the help of the zombie's resentment and yin energy in the zombie poison, they absorb the essence of the moon and yin energy faster, reducing the requirements for becoming a zombie. Their strength will also be much weaker than that of a zombie that has become a zombie itself."
"So that's how it is." Wang Han nodded, secretly deciding that once Old Master Ren had completely turned into a zombie, he would capture him and study him.
"Master, everything is ready." At this moment, Wencai and Qiusheng had also prepared the things that Uncle Jiu had requested.
Uncle Nine took the items, set up the altar, and began the ritual. Wang Han watched carefully. Wang Han had some experience with Taoist arts, although not Maoshan Taoism, but Wang Han was powerful and familiar with energy, so he was able to understand some of it.
