Upon hearing what Xiao Ning said, Ren Fa was startled and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
He had no doubt about Xiao Ning's words. After all, with Xiao Ning's ability to fly and escape, there was no need for him to lie to deceive him.
Then, Ren Fa gritted his teeth and cursed, "This evil Taoist priest, I, Ren Fa, will never let him go! I swear to tear him to pieces! I thought this person still had some conscience, but I didn't expect that he just wanted to exterminate everyone."
Lin Fengjiao's gaze also darkened, and she said, "Who is that sorcerer? Such a despicable person deserves to die!"
"I'll send someone to investigate later."
Ren Fa said sadly, "Back then, that evil Taoist priest had some reputation in the area, so we should be able to find out his identity quickly."
Xiao Ning said, "After finding out his identity, don't alert him. I'll handle it! This person actually knows the art of corpse refining, he's no ordinary person, he probably has some unorthodox methods!"
"My dear nephew is right!"
Ren Fa felt a chill run down his spine and immediately agreed.
At this moment, Ren Tingting clenched her fist and said hatefully, "This man is too evil! He actually wanted to kill my whole family! Fortunately, Brother Xiao, you saw through his trick, otherwise, my family would definitely be in grave danger!"
"Brother Xiao, thank you for saving my whole family's lives!"
After speaking, she looked at Xiao Ning with gratitude in her eyes, her big, watery eyes blinking charmingly.
Xiao Ning stroked her hair and shook his head slightly, saying, "Why are we talking about thanks, Tingting? Don't you think it's too formal and unnecessary?"
"Hehe! That's true!" Ren Tingting suddenly remembered the relationship between the two of them and couldn't help but giggle.
Seeing the close relationship between the two, Ren Fa finally felt less distressed. However, looking at his father, who had already turned into a zombie, lying in the coffin, he thought for a moment and asked a question.
"Nephew, what do you think is the best way to dispose of my late father's body?"
Although Ren Fa always claimed to be very filial, keeping this already degenerated corpse would endanger the lives of himself and his daughter.
Compared to life, that pitiful filial piety becomes insignificant and unimportant.
However, with such a remarkable future son-in-law around, perhaps he has a way to solve this problem; who knows?
Upon hearing Ren Fa's words, Lin Fengjiao couldn't help but look over, hoping to hear the insightful opinions of this senior, Xiao Ning.
With his hands behind his back, Xiao Ning slowly said, "This matter is both difficult and easy in some ways!"
"Since Uncle Shi said that the old master was afraid of fire when he was alive, then Lin Jiu, your suggestion to burn him with fire is no longer practical!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Fengjiao and said, "Lin Jiu, do you know how zombies are formed?"
Lin Fengjiao had been listening intently, eager to hear Xiao Ning's plan to properly dispose of the zombie without cremation, but at this crucial moment she suddenly stopped and instead asked about the zombie's origins.
He immediately knew that his senior was testing him.
After a pause, Lin Fengjiao considered her words carefully and said, "Zombies are born from the resentment of heaven and earth. They are immortal, indestructible, and linger outside the six realms, wandering between the three realms."
"They are the darlings of the night, born in darkness, growing in darkness, never seeing the sunlight, feeding on the blood of all living beings, despised by all living beings, and the most ominous creatures in the Three Realms and Six Paths."
After saying that, seeing Xiao Ning's appreciative expression, Lin Fengjiao continued, "As the name suggests, a zombie is a stiff corpse!"
"For various reasons, human corpses transform into strange demons after death, and they often possess extraordinary power!"
"They fear raw glutinous rice, peach wood swords, talismans, woodworking ink lines, and bronze mirrors! They have no souls; their bodies contain only the remnants of their former will."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning nodded: "Go on!"
Lin Fengjiao perked up even more and continued, "From weakest to strongest, they are divided into: white zombies, black zombies, jumping zombies, flying zombies, and demons!"
"White zombies are covered in fluffy white hair. These zombies are slow-moving and very easy to deal with. They have no consciousness and are extremely afraid of sunlight, fire, water, chickens, dogs, and people! Ordinary people can kill them with a peach wood sword and glutinous rice."
"Next, if the white zombies feast on the essence and blood of cattle and sheep, after several decades, their white hair will be replaced by several inches of black hair, and they will become black zombies!"
"At this time, they are still afraid of sunlight and fire, and move relatively slowly, but they are not afraid of chickens and dogs. They will avoid humans when they see them and dare not fight with people directly. They often suck human blood while people are sleeping!"
"At this point, they have already developed a sliver of intelligence. They usually don't appear in front of people. If an ordinary person encounters them, they almost certainly die. Only Taoists like us, who cultivate spiritual power, can kill them using clever methods!"
"The Black Zombie has absorbed Yin energy and blood for over a hundred years, shedding its black fur. It now moves primarily by jumping, with fast and long leaps. Although it fears sunlight, it is not afraid of humans or any livestock. This is the Jumping Zombie! Even Qi Refining cultivators are no match for it; only Foundation Establishment cultivators can kill it!"
"The leaping zombies have absorbed the essence of the moon for a hundred years, thus evolving into flying zombies. They are agile, leaping over houses and trees, jumping like the wind, unafraid of sunlight, and absorbing the essence of living things without leaving any external injuries! Flying zombies have become a great scourge to the world, and have not been seen for thousands of years. Only Golden Core cultivators can eliminate them!"
"After hiding and cultivating for a thousand years, flying zombies may have a chance to evolve into drought demons, also known as fire demons or dry demons. Their appearance becomes increasingly ferocious, with green faces and fangs, and they can also change their shape and appearance to deceive people. They can slay dragons and bring drought to the heavens, and they can also guide plague gods to the underworld! They are invincible in the human world!"
“Now, the old man has grown black hair on his body, and he has probably become a black zombie. If I were to face him alone, I would be in a difficult situation. If he were to suck human blood and turn into a jumping zombie, I would be even more unable to handle him!”
"Of course, it's nothing to mention for a senior like you!"
Lin Fengjiao began to reveal secrets known only to cultivators, drawing the attention of the villagers of Renjia Town.
Only then did they learn some information about the zombies, and they were no longer so afraid of the mysterious zombies.
At this moment, Xiao Ning nodded and said, "Lin Jiu, you are right. This is the most well-known drought demon type of zombie. As for the other three types of zombies, namely Ying Gou, Hou Qing, and Jiang Chen, they are extremely rare, so I won't go into detail!"
He paused, then said, "The old man has just become a black zombie and has not yet developed any intelligence. He only has bodily instincts. During the day, when the yang energy is at its peak, he dares not move and is no different from a dead body!"
"If it gets out of its cage at night, it will wreak havoc everywhere, so we must solve this problem as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fengjiao, like a student in class, asked, "May I ask, senior, how can we achieve a win-win solution?"
Xiao Ning, holding Ren Tingting's hand, walked to the coffin and said calmly, "The bodies of zombies are filled with a large amount of Yin energy, which is both their source of power and one of their weaknesses. As long as we disperse this Yin energy, they will become tigers without claws and teeth, and will be no threat at all!"
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand, flicked his finger, and the coffin lid flew off, exposing Old Master Ren's body to the sunlight. Lin Fengjiao quickly came over to watch.
"Sizzle!"
