In a small border town in the Qing Dynasty, there was a small village surrounded by dense forests called Wutong Village. There is an old ancestral hall in the village, and there is a desolate cemetery behind the ancestral hall, which is said to be the resting place of the ancestors of the village. However, in recent years, villagers have noticed that strange things are happening near the cemetery, and low roars can often be heard at night, and some villagers even claim to have seen zombies in the moonlight.
The protagonist of the story is a young scholar named Lin Feng. Lin Feng has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he is determined to gain fame and glory for his hometown. However, his family was poor and could not afford to go to Beijing to take the exam. In order to raise money for the journey, Lin Feng decided to go to the forest at night to collect precious medicinal herbs.
One night, Lin Feng stepped into the forest alone. The moonlight shines through the treetops and sprinkles on the forest paths, and everything looks extraordinarily quiet. Lin Feng was cautiously searching for medicinal herbs, and suddenly, he heard a low roar. He looked up and saw several vague figures wandering through the graveyard, their movements stiff and pale, none other than the legendary zombies.
Lin Feng was shocked, he knew that these zombies were not trivial, and they had to be dealt with carefully. He quickly went into hiding, observing the zombies' movements. At this moment, a zombie suddenly turned its head and looked straight at the place where Lin Feng was hiding. Lin Feng held his breath, his heart racing, he knew that he had been discovered.
The zombie slowly approached Lin Feng, and Lin Feng knew that he had to take action. He remembered what the old man in the village had said, that what zombies were most afraid of was yang. Lin Feng decided to take a risk, and he took out a piece of jade pendant from his bosom, which was a talisman given to him by his mother, which was said to ward off evil spirits.
Lin Feng clenched the jade pendant, chanted the Taoist mantra loudly, and rushed towards the zombies. The zombies seemed to feel the yang energy on the jade pendant, and they began to retreat, and their roars became more shrill. Lin Feng took the opportunity to flee back to the village and told the villagers about the experience of the night.
After hearing this, the villagers decided to bring in a Taoist priest to help them solve the zombie problem. The Taoist priest laid a huge magic circle around the graveyard, and used rune paper and mahogany swords to kill the zombies one by one. He also told the villagers that the zombies were able to be resurrected because the graveyard was too heavy with yin energy, and it was necessary to plant peach trees in the cemetery to suppress the yin energy with yang energy.
With the help of Taoist priests, the villagers of Wutong Village planted peach trees in the cemetery, and since then, zombies have never appeared again. Lin Feng also won the respect of the villagers because of this incident. He continued to study hard, and finally gained fame and became a **. He did not forget the kindness of his hometown, and after returning to Wutong Village, he funded the renovation of the ancestral hall and built a city god temple next to the cemetery to commemorate the ancestors who protected the peace of the village.
This story has been passed down in Wutong Village for many years and has become a vivid folk legend. It teaches that courage and wisdom are the keys to victory, and that unity and faith are the cornerstones of village tranquility. Lin Feng's story has also become a hero in the hearts of future generations, inspiring them to stand up bravely and protect their homes in the face of difficulties.
