"I've observed those soul-locking nails. They must have gradually loosened after years of impact. Initially, the zombie was trapped inside and couldn't move. Later, its strength grew stronger, allowing it to break free from the coffin!"
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Before I took my uncle out that day, I went into the coffin and saw some broken ropes inside. It might be because it was too old, or it might be because it was too powerful and broke free on its own."
At that time, Zheng Hao was wondering who would put a rope in the coffin before burial.
Chu Zheng frowned, "That means the pregnant woman was most likely tied up and buried alive! And the person who buried her even carved a spell on the coffin, preventing her soul from leaving the body and entering the cycle of reincarnation. What a vicious heart!"
"That's not right," Yun Jianzhong felt a little conflicted. He stroked his beard. "According to what you said, if that person wanted her to be zombified quickly, then why didn't they choose a very cold place to bury her, but instead chose a place that would bring prosperity to future generations? I don't think this could have been done by a group of people."
"What do you mean?" everyone was curious.
Yun Jianzhong couldn't explain it clearly, but he always had a feeling that this was not something that could be done by a group of people alone, or that there were two different ideas among the group of people.
Wei Mian, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking about something after hearing what he said.
"Who owned this land before?"
"I remember there were rumors that a lot of bones were dug up before the construction of the Riverside Shopping Center began?"
"It's probably someone's cemetery."
Everyone was talking at once, one sentence after another. Wei Mian leaned back a little, listening to the heated discussion while distractedly thinking about what Yun Jianzhong had just said.
Liang Haoran saw her movements, came over silently, and stuffed a pillow behind her back so that she could lean on it more comfortably.
Wei Mian smiled when she saw this, and was about to speak when she suddenly felt Liang Haoran stuffing something into her hand. At this time, he happened to have his back to those people.
Wei Mian was startled, and seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, he turned his wrist as if nothing had happened and hid the thing handed to him.
The thing felt round, about the size of a longan, and felt like a bead.
After putting the pillow away, Liang Haoran sat on the stool in front of Wei Mian's bed.
Although he was no longer as silent as he was at the beginning, he was still very quiet. Sometimes he would not say a word for most of the day. But every time Wei Mian spoke to him, the child knew to respond. The same was true for Zheng Hao and Zheng Heng, so the three of them got along quite well.
"Where's my phone?"
Wei Mian thought for a while but still had no idea. Seeing that those people had no intention of stopping, he decided to play with his phone.
"Here."
As he spoke, Liang Haoran took out the mobile phone from the drawer of the bedside table.
Wei Mian opened it and saw that there were twenty missed calls. She casually sorted through them and found that there were calls from Feng Jing, Wang Xiaoqi, Jin Zhiling, and more were from Zheng Hao and others. However, among these, there was also an unfamiliar number, so she didn't take it seriously.
Anyway, they will call me if there is an emergency. If they don’t call me, it must be not urgent.
There are also dozens of unread messages on WeChat, the most of which are from Feng Jing, and some are from her receptionist.
While Wei Mian was replying, Liu Guangyi had already asked people in the department to investigate the previous ownership of the land. They also wanted to get some of the bones that were dug out at the time back for dating to see if they were from the same period as the flying zombie.
Afterwards, as if they realized that they were disturbing the patient's rest, they said goodbye and left together. Before leaving, they exchanged some polite words with Wei Mian. The follow-up of the matter was left to the official investigation.
After everyone left, the ward suddenly became quiet, with only her, Liang Haoran, and Zheng Hao left.
Wei Mian had just tried to draw upon the spiritual energy in her body, but there was only a little bit left, which made her feel very insecure.
"Go get discharged from the hospital. I want to go home and recuperate."
Wei Mian now wants to return to his small villa, and then practice among the flowers, plants and trees in the mountains to fill up his body as soon as possible. A month should be enough.
Or you can go directly to the primeval forests like those in Lesser Khingan Mountains, where you can fully recover within a few days.
"Uncle Master, this time you've not only exhausted your spiritual energy, the doctor said your internal organs have been damaged to varying degrees. You need to stay in the hospital for half a month to recuperate."
Zheng Hao firmly disagreed. He saw his uncle vomit blood several times that day, even when she was unconscious. He was scared to death. How could he let her go after only one day in the hospital?
The doctor also said that the blood she vomited that day contained pieces of internal organs, and the situation was very serious.
"It's the same if I go back to recuperate. And once the spiritual energy in my body is restored, it will nourish my internal organs and help them heal faster."
No matter what Wei Mian said, Zheng Hao and Liang Haoran disagreed. They could not forget the dying look of their uncle when he was carried out of the tomb.
"Anyway, I just don't agree to be discharged from the hospital. I want you to stay for a few more days and go back to recuperate when you feel better!"
Wei Mian argued for a long time, but neither of them agreed. In the end, she had no choice but to stay in the hospital for three days before going home.
During this period, Cheng Guangyuan came to the hospital in person with a lot of bags and small packages. Wei Mian saw that he was reluctant to leave after saying a lot of meaningless things, so he knew what he wanted to ask and simply told him directly.
The things in the underground of the shopping mall were gone, and Zheng Kaiyuan and Guo Zhi took action at the same time and completely cleared out the evil spirit in the building in one day.
As for the tomb chamber, the people from the special department had already checked it carefully. The big black coffin was also taken away for research, as well as the night pearls on the wall. According to Zheng Hao, they even took away several glutinous rice bricks.
"Mr. Cheng, just fill in the tomb, and then proceed with the exterior renovation of the building. Like I told you before, I'll bless you after it's finished, so nothing will happen again. I'll also perform a ritual to improve your luck, so that the shopping center will be prosperous and attract a lot of customers."
Cheng Guangyuan was overjoyed to hear this and thanked Wei Mianhao profusely.
As for the hard work fee this time, Wei Mian asked him to pay it after the business opened, but she also did not forget to give him a warning, because too many high-level talismans were consumed, the cost would definitely not be low.
"Master Wei, don't worry. As long as the shopping mall can be opened, I, Cheng Guangyuan, will definitely be able to handle it!"
————
The first thing Wei Mian did after returning home was to take a nice shower, then change into loose clothes and stay on his terrace all day.
By the evening, her body had recovered somewhat. At least her complexion no longer looked as if she was about to die at any moment, and she also visibly regained some energy and spirit.
But Wei Mian still felt it was not enough, so she simply booked a flight to Harbin and decided to go to Xing'an Mountains again.
Wei Mian still remembers the feeling of cleansing his whole body. In fact, not only the Greater Khingan Range, but all the virgin forests that have not been extensively developed should be suitable.
But her current condition is not good enough to bear the risks that may be encountered in a new place, so it is best to choose a relatively familiar place.
So a week later, Wei Mian got off the plane with two bodyguards by his side, looking rosy-cheeked.
