Generally speaking, the living dead is used to describe vegetative people; but there is also a real kind of living dead, which are walking corpses that do not have any brain consciousness and are exclusively controlled by others.

But when Ji Zhantian discovered that Cai Kui was a dead man, what shocked and stunned him was that Cai Kui had the thinking ability of a normal person and his speech was also very logical.

The reason why Ji Zhantian found that Cai Kui was already dead when he saw the flower on his back was because at that moment, he smelled a strong smell of corpse transformation from Cai Kui's body.

This smell would disappear as quickly as possible on the living dead, but Grandpa happened to catch it. As the corpse smell disappeared, the weird flower was completely integrated into Cai Kui's body.

"What kind of flower is that?"

Ji Zhantian's words reminded Zhou Xiaoze of the flowers drawn on the paper he saw in Cai Kui's desk in the village meeting room, as well as the flowers whose blood had solidified on the spot after his body disappeared.

In Zhou Xiaoze's opinion, the strange flowers that his grandfather saw on Cai Kui should be the same as what he saw.

When Ji Zhantian came back from outside yesterday, when Zhou Xiaoze told him what he had experienced in Murakami, he mentioned the kind of flowers he found several times, but his facial expression was very serious at that time and he said nothing.

Ji Zhantian took another long puff of cigarette, pondered for a while, and then said to him one word at a time: "Black Mandala!"

Ji Zhantian murmured again: "According to the language of flowers, the black mandala, the flower of hell, represents unpredictable darkness, death and wandering love. There is no love and hatred in the world, and the tenacity of being hurt.

A damaged soul is a road of no return."

"Grandpa, I have seen the black mandala in the picture in the book, and it seems different from the one drawn on the piece of paper I found in Cai Kui's drawer!" Zhou Xiaoze still couldn't help but asked with some suspicion.

Ji Zhantian sighed as if he was worried: "That is a variant of the mandala, which is specially grown by watering it with human blood and corpse liquid!"

Hearing what Ji Zhantian said, Zhou Xiaoze shuddered all over. Who is this perverted person who wants to cultivate such a terrifying flower?

The problem is, every time the black mandala appears, someone dies.

However, until now, there are still many questions stuck in his chest.

"Since Cai Kui's family died three years ago, why did Cai Fangfang die again when you left home to do business? And after I buried her in the coffin, I appeared sleepwalking and killed Cai Fangfang that night.

Where’s Kui?”

"In addition, after the villagers rescued Cai Kui's body, how could the police forensic doctor judge that he died half a month ago?"

When Zhou Xiaoze asked Ji Zhantian these brain-burning questions, he felt that there was something wrong with the logic of his language expression, and he didn't know how to speak.

If an outsider heard these questions from him, he would definitely go crazy.

"This is a trap set up by someone behind the back of Taotou Village."

Ji Zhantian's voice dropped, "Some things, what you see in your eyes may not be true; some truths are difficult to surface until a certain time!"

Ji Zhantian's explanation almost drove Zhou Xiaoze crazy.

If what he encountered was not true, he would have almost lost his life several times; if his sister-in-law had not appeared in time, his life would have been ruined long ago.

What is the truth? Judging from his grandpa's vague meaning, Zhou Xiaoze felt that he seemed to be hiding something from himself and was unwilling to say it.

Who is it that created such a big situation in Daotou Village?

But in Ji Zhantian's words, Zhou Xiaoze finally understood one thing. Cai Kui, his daughter, and his family were all controlled by this weird and unpredictable mysterious man behind his back.

It seems that Cai Fangfang is just a pawn in this game!

"Grandpa, who is that person who arranged the plot in Daotou Village?" It's scary to think about it. It seems that the person who really wants his life is not Cai Fangfang, but the mysterious person hiding behind it.

Ji Zhantian's facial muscles twitched several times, and he shook his head helplessly: "Son, this... Grandpa has been checking for a long time, and he still doesn't know clearly!"

Wocao... Even grandpa doesn't know, am I going to die?

Who did Lao Zi offend? He was bitten by someone secretly!

"My child... you must be hungry. I'll make you something to eat, and then you go to the bedroom and lie down for a while!" Ji Zhantian felt distressed when he saw his grandson standing there dumbly like a clay or wood sculpture.

It was already bright outside. Although after a night of life and death, Zhou Xiaoze seemed to be in danger of death from overwork, but at the moment he did not feel any sleepiness, and his heart felt like a stack of layer cakes.

The five-thousand-year-old history question paper made him dizzy, and he couldn't think of anything to eat.

"Grandpa, I have one more thing to ask you. Why did those two Cai Kui come to our house one after another?"

In fact, as for why there are two Cai Kui, Zhou Xiaoze already has the answer in his heart:

The living dead also have souls. The Cai Kui he met in the village was just a corpse bag; and the Cai Kui he found outside the courtyard gate was his true soul.

But there are some issues that really bother him:

Since Cai Kui was controlled by a mysterious person behind the scenes, and even his body disappeared after his second death, then why did Cai Kui suddenly appear again now, and his body bag was separated from his soul?

Later I arrived at his home...

What puzzles Zhou Xiaoze the most is: Why does Cai Kui’s true soul call his grandfather master?

After all, Zhou Xiaoze almost died at the hands of Cai Kui's daughter last night. Now, as Cai Fangfang's father, he suddenly appeared in his home. It really made his mind like a stone smashing into chaos. This Qiansi

If Wanlui couldn't figure it out, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long and would be sent to the hospital's cerebral infarction specialist for a thorough examination.

Of course Ji Zhantian knew what his grandson meant, and smiled slightly: "It was grandpa who summoned Cai Kui to me!"

"How could that Cai Kui obey grandpa's orders?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhou Xiaoze felt that his question was superfluous. Cai Kui's soul already called his grandpa his master, so of course he had to obey his summons.

The key point of the question is: when did grandpa become Cai Kui’s master!

Ji Zhantian frowned slightly, and Zhou Xiaoze noticed that his hand could not help but press lightly on his chest, and his heart twitched involuntarily: "Grandpa, your injury..."

Before he could finish, Ji Zhantian shook his hand at him: "My child, it's okay, grandpa can hold on. As for why Cai Kui called me master, grandpa, let me tell you the truth. As early as three years ago, he came here and was raped by me.

When I found out that he was a living dead, I took the opportunity of asking him to drink water and planted a dark poison on him!"

Gu is a mysterious object that is artificially applied with special methods and carefully cultivated over many years. It can be large or small. Gu is divided into two categories: light voodoo and dark voodoo:

Bright voodoo, which is directly planted, is easy to be detected, but it is more difficult to remove the voodoo; dark voodoo, which is indirectly planted, is not easy to be detected, but it is very simple to remove the voodoo.

Shi Gu, together with the corpse exorcism technique in western Hunan and the head-lowering technique in Southeast Asia, are known as the three major witchcrafts in Southeast Asia.

Normally, Ji Zhantian is most repelled by this kind of witchcraft. To Zhou Xiaoze's surprise, his grandfather actually planted a dark poison on Cai Kui.

"You also know that my grandfather hated witchcraft the most in his life, but I had no choice but to attack Cai Kui at that time."

Obviously, Ji Zhantian saw Zhou Xiaoze's doubts: "Since grandpa is not good at planting voodoo, the voodoo I planted on Cai Kui can only be used once."

"The reason why grandpa wants to do this is that at the most critical moment, he wants to use Cai Kui to help me find out which power is coming from and is secretly controlling Taotou Village. What is the specific purpose!"

After taking a breath, grandpa sighed slightly: "My son, your disappearance really made grandpa panic. In order to find your traces, I had to make an exception and summon Cai Kui and let him come to me.

"

"Human beings have three souls and seven souls, and similarly, there are also living dead."

"In order to facilitate contact with Cai Kui, I let his body bag go first, and took away his soul and kept it with me. The reason is that the body bag and his soul have a strong resonance."

After listening to what his grandfather said, Zhou Xiaoze had roughly understood that Cai Kui and Cai Fangfang had never interacted with each other; otherwise, when he came here this time, he would definitely tell his grandfather that he was taken away by Cai Fangfang.

But there are still some questions that puzzle Zhou Xiaoze: Where have Cai Kui's other family members gone? Could the deaths of Dr. Huang and Xiao Huang be related to Cai Kui?

I guess if you ask grandpa, he might not know.

Looking at his grandfather's pale face, Zhou Xiaoze suddenly felt a tremor in his heart: He once remembered reading in a book that if a person who casts dark poison is not skilled in spells, sometimes in order to summon the person who has been poisoned, at a critical moment,

You have to extract your own heart essence and blood to be effective.

Heart essence and blood are the essence of life, and one use will shorten your lifespan by ten years. It is obvious that the wound on grandpa's chest was opened by him with a knife in order to extract the heart essence and blood.

Grandpa is already an old man, but in order to save his grandson, he is even willing to spend ten years of his life. Zhou Xiaoze thinks about how virtuous and capable he is as a little weakling, who can bear this job that is as high as the sky and as deep as the sea.

Such affection!

It is conceivable that if my sister-in-law had not come forward, once my grandfather learned of his whereabouts from Cai Kui, he would have been seriously injured and would have risked his life to get him back from Cai Fangfang.

"Grandpa, it's useless to blame your grandson..."

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoze knelt down in front of Ji Zhantian with tears streaming down his face.

Ji Zhantian already knew that Zhou Xiaoze had guessed that he had used his heart and blood, and laughed loudly: "Silly boy, grandpa is fine. Get up quickly. He is such a big man. Don't shed tears easily. Everyone in my Ji family is a

What a tough guy!"

As soon as Zhou Xiaoze stood up from the ground, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard door. He turned his head and looked over, only to see Chief Feng leading a group of police officers out of the courtyard, and Miao Li was among them.

.

However, Zhou Xiaoze noticed that Miao Li's face was a little blue, and when she noticed that he was looking at her, she also cast a resentful look at him.

Zhou Xiaoze couldn't help but wonder, why did she act like a girlfriend who had been abandoned by her boss? Was she so resentful?

What made him even more puzzled was that Chief Feng brought these police officers here so early in the morning. What did he mean?
