In Lijiazhai.
A bright moon hung high in the sky. A huge bonfire was burning in the open space in the center of the village. A woman with a strange mask on her face was dancing around the bonfire.
Everyone in Lijiazhai, regardless of gender, age or status, gathered around the campfire and watched the women dance.
Around the bonfire, several large wooden stakes were nailed to the ground, and a person was tied to each stake. They were Chen Xiaobao, Bai Xiaoli and others.
All the Dongsheng Group's team that went into the mountains were tied up here.
Even Li Dayong's coffin was carried here.
The atmosphere around the bonfire was extremely strange. All the people in Lijiazhai kept silent and watched the scene in silence. Touren Li, Yanshan, Li Sangyi, and others also appeared in the crowd.
It seemed like some strange ceremony was taking place in the village.
Soon, a goat was led over. The hunter in the village stabbed the goat's neck with a knife with an expressionless face. Then Headman Li smeared his face with the goat's blood and shouted loudly.
"Sacrifice!"
"Sacrifice!"
"Sacrifice!"
Tou Ren Li shouted, and then the villagers in other villages also began to shout. More and more villagers followed suit, and their shouts became more and more uniform.
Finally, the whole village began to fall into a frenzy atmosphere.
“Please ask the mountain god!”
After he finished shouting, Tou Ren Li turned around and yelled, and several strong men in the village came over carrying a wooden bed with a heavy black stone on it.
The stone was of a strange shape and had a red cloth wrapped around it.
It is said that after this stone fell from the sky, the mountain god appeared in Lijiazhai.
The old people in Lijiazhai believe that this stone is the true body of the mountain god.
As the pitch-black stone was carried out, the people of Lijiazhai knelt down one after another and worshiped the pitch-black stone.
"My fellow villagers, I didn't mean to harm anyone today. It was the mountain god who got angry. If we don't offer sacrifices, the mountain god won't forgive us. As long as the village is safe, I will bear the consequences of harming people!"
Headman Li held up a bowl of sheep's blood and poured it all onto the black stone. The scarlet blood fell on the black stone and was actually slowly absorbed by the black stone.
It's so weird.
After the blood was poured out, Li Tou Ren smashed the bowl hard and shouted loudly, "Send the sacrifice!"
"Send a sacrifice!"
The men in Lijiazhai shouted, came over one by one, chopped down the wooden stakes, and then two of them picked up a wooden stake and prepared to leave.
They carried wooden stakes, each with a person tied to it.
Chen Xiaobao, Bai Xiaoli, Ge Qiang, Zhang Yong, and all the people in the Dongsheng Group's mountain team were unconscious and all tied to wooden stakes.
The people of Lijiazhai were preparing to carry wooden stakes for sacrifice.
"ah!"
But at this moment, a villager standing next to the coffin suddenly screamed in fear, causing a commotion.
"Why are you yelling? You've disturbed the sacrifice. Are you capable of taking responsibility?"
Leader Li's face darkened and he immediately turned around and yelled at the villager.
"Boss, it's bad, the corpse is resurrecting, the corpse is resurrecting!"
The villager was trembling with fear and pointed at the coffin and screamed in horror.
The surrounding villagers suddenly became agitated.
There are mountain gods eating people all year round around Lijiazhai. The people here are quite superstitious. When they heard that a corpse had come back to life, they were immediately frightened and panicked.
"Shut up! What are you shouting about? If we anger the mountain god, none of us can bear the consequences!" Leader Li's face darkened and he glared at the villager fiercely. He didn't believe at all that a dead body could resurrect itself.
Li Dayong had only been dead for a few days, probably less than a day, and he hadn't been buried yet, so how could he possibly come back to life?
The other villagers scattered in fear, but Headman Li came over with a torch and took a closer look.
But when he saw this, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He felt a chill rising from the top of his head and then spreading throughout his body.
Li Dayong in the coffin was seen covered in blue and black, with fangs faintly growing out of his mouth, and his nails were not only black but also much longer.
The villager was right. Li Dayong's body had clearly turned into a zombie. Isn't it exactly the same as the zombies in the movies?
"He's resurrected, he's really resurrected!"
Headman Li muttered to himself and was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.
When the other villagers saw this scene, they retreated in fear. Even the witch who was performing the shaman dance stopped. Most of the villagers were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.
Some timid villagers were even so frightened that they secretly returned home and hid at home.
Even young people like Yanshan and Li Sangyi were at a loss and didn't know what to do.
"Head, what should we do? What should we do?"
An elder of the tribe asked in a panic, suppressing his fear.
Tou Ren Li had no idea what to do, so he quickly turned around and wanted to ask the fortune teller. The fortune teller should be a professional and might know what to do.
But when he turned around, he found that the witch was at a loss and had already fled.
Something you can't count on!
Headman Li cursed inwardly, his face changing from gloomy to bright. He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Dayong's body will soon turn into a corpse. Sang Yi, the rest of you come here, put the coffin on the bonfire and burn the body. Everything will be fine once the body is burned!"
"Yes, yes, yes, just burn the body and everything will be fine!"
The other elders also reacted and quickly asked the young people in the village to help carry the coffin and Li Dayong to the bonfire and burn them.
No matter whether it is a zombie or not, just burn it to death and it will be all over.
"Yanshan, come and help!"
Li Sangyi roared and called a few young and strong men in the village.
Several young men swallowed their saliva, each with a grim look on their face, and bravely came forward, trying to lift the coffin up in a hurry. However, when they exerted force, the coffin was only lifted up a little, and then fell heavily to the ground again.
“It’s so heavy!”
"Why is it so heavy?"
Several young men looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Li Dayong weighs at most a hundred pounds, plus the coffin weighs several dozen pounds, so the total is more than two hundred pounds. If four of them, young and strong, come over, each of them can lift several dozen pounds on average. How could they not be able to lift it?
But this coffin feels like it weighs more than four or five hundred kilograms, let alone two or three hundred kilograms.
"What are you standing there for? Send a few more people!"
Headman Li had a gloomy face and urged hurriedly.
Li Sangyi shouted a few times, and a few young men and strong men bravely came over to help. Seven or eight young men worked together, shouting slogans and lifting the coffin.
Carrying the coffin step by step towards the bonfire.
"Throw!"
When they got near the bonfire, a scorching heat wave rolled in, which could almost set people's clothes on fire. Li Sangyi's face was covered in sweat, and he yelled. Everyone exerted force and threw the coffin directly into the bonfire.
"boom!"
The coffin hit the bonfire, and Li Dayong's body flipped out of the coffin and hit the blazing flames directly.
