Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

"Master, this is bad! Something terrible is happening!"

With this panicked cry, the tranquility of the early morning was instantly broken.

Wencai came jogging in a panic, his face full of fear.

Today, like every day, Wencai went to the morgue early to burn a stick of incense to pay tribute to the deceased.

However, the moment he stepped into the morgue, the scene before him stunned him.

The coffin of Old Master Ren, which had been placed quietly, was now covered with a thick layer of white frost, as if it was shrouded by a mysterious and cold force.

Looking again, he found that the ink net that he and Qiu Sheng had carefully arranged last night was no longer what it once was. It had turned into a ball of black water vapor, which was dripping slowly from the surface of the coffin.

Faced with such a strange scene, Wencai didn't dare to step forward to take a closer look.

He felt his legs go weak and his heart was filled with fear. He subconsciously retreated repeatedly until he was out of the door. Then he woke up from a dream and shouted at the top of his lungs, and ran with all his might towards where his master was.

At this time, Uncle Jiu was wearing a snow-white training suit and practicing martial arts in the room.

Suddenly, he heard Wencai's anxious shouts from outside. He couldn't help but frown and thought to himself, "Although this kid is a little irritable on weekdays, he wouldn't lose his composure like this. Could something really have happened?"

So he hurried out of the room and greeted Wencai who was running towards him.

"What happened? How can you be so loud and shouting?" Uncle Jiu asked solemnly.

Wencai ran up to Uncle Jiu, breathless, his face etched with fear, and stammered, "Master...Master, you...you should go and take a look! In the morgue...something's happened to Old Master Ren's coffin!"

Recalling the horrifying scene he had just witnessed, Wencai couldn't help but shiver again.

After all, although he had seen many ghost stories with his master, this was the first time he had dealt with zombies!

When Wencai thought of the horrific legend of zombies sucking human blood, he felt horrified and the hairs on his body stood up.

The master and his disciple arrived at the morgue. Uncle Jiu was shocked to see that the coffin, which was in good condition yesterday, had become so broken apart after just one night.

He walked forward, took a closer look, pushed open the coffin lid and took a look, his face looking very unhappy.

There have been huge changes, I can’t keep it!

Must be cremated!

It must be burned with litchi wood!

Zombies are divided into several levels, the lowest level is white zombie!

White zombies: After a corpse is placed in a corpse-raising ground, it will begin to grow fuzzy white hair all over its body after one month. This type of zombie moves slowly and is very easy to deal with. It is extremely afraid of sunlight, fire, water, chickens, dogs, and even more so, people.

Black zombies: If white zombies are full of the blood of cattle and sheep, they will shed their white hair after a few years and be replaced by a coat of several-inch-long black hair. At this time, they are still afraid of sunlight and fire, and their movements are slower, but they are no longer afraid of chickens and dogs. Generally speaking, black zombies will avoid people and dare not fight with people directly. They often suck human blood when people are asleep (black zombies and white zombies are collectively called "black and white zombies").

Jumping corpse: The black zombie absorbs Yin and blood for decades, then loses its black hair and starts to move mainly by jumping, with fast and long jumps. It is afraid of sunlight, people and any domestic animals (even the most barking dog will stop barking once it encounters a 'black zombie' or a 'jumping corpse', but a cat will meow when it sees a zombie).

Flying corpses: evolved from jumping corpses absorbing the dark moonlight, flying corpses are often zombies that are more than a hundred years old or even thousands of years old. They are agile, jump over houses and trees, jump like flying, and absorb essence without leaving any external injuries.

Ba: Also known as "Drought Ba", "Fire Ba" and "Dry Ba". After hundreds of years of flying corpses absorbing essence and soul, its appearance becomes more and more ferocious. It can be described as a green-faced, fang-eater Rakshasa. It can also change its shape and appearance to confuse people. It can slay dragons, bring drought to the world, and attract the plague god. Drought and plague are caused by this (in ancient times, if the plague spread along with drought, the people would firmly believe that it was the drought Ba who was causing trouble).

Qiong: This is the final form that a zombie will take after years of changes.

According to legend, the Qiong possesses terrifying power that can challenge gods, and has practiced Taoism for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. It is said that there has only been one such demon king in China. Thousands of years ago, it was subdued by Guanyin Bodhisattva as a mount and was named "Qong".

As for Old Master Ren, he was born as a black zombie. If Uncle Jiu hadn't made thorough preparations and ordered his apprentice to throw a magic inkwell on the coffin to trap him...

The consequences are simply unimaginable!

But even so, after one night, it was corroded by the corpse qi and became what it is now.

Tonight, it will definitely break free!

"Wencai, go and invite Master Ren!" Uncle Jiu thought about it and decided to make things clear with Master Ren.

"Yes, Master!" Wencai agreed, turned around and was about to leave. When he reached the door, he turned back and said with a bitter face, "Master, what should I say?"

"Just tell Mr. Ren that this is a matter of life and death for the Ren family!" Uncle Jiu said with his hands behind his back.

He didn't mean to scare anyone, but the situation was really bad!

Logically, Old Master Ren would not change so quickly, and even if he did, he would not be a black zombie at the beginning.

Moreover, it shows signs of continuing to evolve!

Something is wrong, something is so wrong!

Is someone plotting against the Ren family, or is there something special about the Ren family's bloodline?

Wencai didn't dare to delay, so he went to the kitchen, got two cold steamed buns and ran to Renjia Town.

When I met Ren Yinyin at the door, he just waved and left.

If he walked faster, he could see his sweetheart Ren Tingting earlier.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ren Yinyin looked at Wencai's back in surprise and entered the charity cemetery.

"Master!"

"Yinyin is here!" Uncle Jiu walked out of the morgue and glanced at his young apprentice. "Have you had breakfast?"

"I have eaten, Master. You haven't eaten yet, right?" When Ren Yinyin saw what Master was wearing, he knew that Master had just gotten up to practice.

"There are steamed buns in the kitchen, just cook some porridge!" Uncle Jiu was not in the mood to eat or drink. He was still thinking about how to convince Mr. Ren to burn Old Master Ren.

"Okay!" Ren Yinyin realized that something had happened in the charity cemetery, but now was not the time to ask.

……

"What?" Ren Yinyin looked at Uncle Jiu in surprise. Did she hear it right?

Just one night!

"Fortunately, we took precautions yesterday, otherwise..." Uncle Jiu shook his head and didn't continue.

Ren Yinyin was thinking about how she reminded her two senior brothers last night to draw an ink line on the bottom of Old Master Ren's coffin.

She was glad in her heart that she had followed her master's instructions seriously.

If something happens to Mr. Ren and Ren Tingting, it will be troublesome!

At this time, Ren Yinyin was cleaning the dishes on the table skillfully.

She casually glanced at the bright and dazzling sunlight in the yard, and suddenly an idea struck her. She suggested to Uncle Jiu, "Master, the sun is so strong today. Why don't we take Old Master Ren's coffin out to dry in the sun? Aren't zombies afraid of sunlight? Let's take advantage of this beautiful sunny day and let it bask in the sun for a while. Maybe it can even remove some of the corpse qi!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu also turned around and looked at the scorching sun outside the house.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly shook his head and said, "No, Yinyin. Once zombies come into contact with sunlight, it's like ice meeting fire. They will melt instantly!"
