Chapter 521: The Evil Spirits Disperse (41)
Xiangxi, Hunan, since ancient times, there are mysterious legends such as "sending corpses, falling holes, and releasing Gu", among which sending corpses is "driving corpses", because the mountains and mountains in Xiangxi are rugged, and many places are not accessible at all.

There are many merchants from the north who trade timber to make huge profits, and most of them put the giant trees taken by the raft in the river during the flood season, and go down the river to the south, and the merchants all float down the river with the raft, and when they finish their business, they return to their hometowns through the mountains and mountains.
Due to the land of Yidong, bandits are rampant, and there are many miasma poisonous insects, all kinds of diseases spread, there are foreign merchants who are not accustomed to the water and soil, once infected or looted, often the guests die on the way. The merchants from other provinces were very sympathetic to the plight of these dead peers, so they pooled money to build a Yizhuang Savings Museum and hired corpse craftsmen to bury the bones back to their hometowns.
Speaking of this Xiangxi corpse, it is really famous, and it is said that it is divine, and the world talks about it changing color and fearing it like a tiger. In fact, the official name of this kind of strange art, since ancient times called "corpse sending technique", in modern times there is a "corpse drive", Westerners call it "corpse hypnosis", in the eyes of foreigners this kind of thing is more mysterious, Westerners have "hypnotism", that is, "hypnosis", the reason why they call it so probably refers to the meaning of hypnosis to the corpse.
Because Xiangxi Yi and Han are mixed, the geographical environment is special, countless dangerous rock peaks, rise out of thin air, the peaks and pillars stretch one after another, straight arch to the south sky, the terrain is difficult and treacherous, there is no road in the depths of the mountains, it is not realistic to carry back to the hometown for burial after death, which requires the "corpse messenger" to send the corpse, but in some places, the corpse messenger only goes once in half a year, and the dead are transported together.
But cremation is now popular, so there are very few such things as chasing corpses, so July thought a little too much when he saw this group of people, so he released the ghost in black for him to check closely, and sure enough, the ghost in black came back and told July that those were not corpses, but all people pretending.
Xu Le was so frightened that he trembled beside July, and July glanced at Xu Le with great disdain and shook his head, just this bit of courage and said to himself that he was bold.
"Eldest sister, what should we do, will we just die here?" Xu Le cried and whispered to July with tears in his eyes.
July glanced at him and said, "What is the death, don't say that those people are not driving corpses at all, even if they are driving corpses, I will not be able to do it." You wipe my snot from me, I'm sick to death, and if you dare to get it on my clothes, I'll let you die right now. ”
In order to be afraid of death, Xu Le hurriedly wiped his nose, and only after wiping it a few times did he react to the key points in July's words.
"You said those weren't corpses?" Xu Le asked in surprise.
"Well, it's not. July nodded affirmatively.
"Then what are they doing here?" Xu Le was not afraid when he heard that it was not a corpse, and suddenly it was as if he had returned the yang, and he didn't see the trembling appearance just now, he asked curiously with round eyes.
"I don't know, let's take a look first, I don't think it's a good person. July said after pondering for a moment.
As July spoke, the group of people had already arrived at the door, and when they walked in, Xu Le saw that there were two holes in the bags on the bags on the heads of the group of people, which should be used to see the road, which made it even more certain that as July said, those people were not chasing corpses at all.
When I arrived at the door, the "corpses" were no longer pretended, and the cloth bag on the head was taken off, and one of the "corpses" walking in front said to the "corpse chaser", "This day is so hot, what annoys me the most is summer, wearing such a body, even at night it is stuffy and tired!"
"Alright, stop complaining. The corpse chaser said, "Hurry up and rest, the anti-drug team has been grasping it tightly, take advantage of the extra walk tonight, this trip is over, let's have a good rest." ”
July held the bag in his hand and beckoned to Xu Le, and the two quietly hid behind the curtain under the offering table. The two of them huddled together, and the door creaked open, and then the men walked in.
"Big brother, how do I feel that someone has been here in this ruined temple?" One of the corpses checked the inside of the house, and then found the pile of straw, and when he touched it, there was still residual warmth underneath, so he said vigilantly.
"Mao Dan, don't make a fuss, maybe it's someone passing by who comes to rest, if there is really someone, see us and don't be scared to pee your pants!" said the other one who sat on the straw and laughed.
"But no, you still remember the old man yesterday, when he came out to pee at night, he happened to see us, and Erhan was lacking in virtue enough, so he jumped towards the old man, and the frightened old man peed his pants directly, and ran back crying wolf!
"That's it, the boss's idea is good, we used to avoid people when we transported goods, but now people are all avoiding us, these few trips are too cool, but I have made a lot of money. ”
A few people chatted, and someone took off his wide robe. As soon as he took it off, July saw through the cracks in the tablecloth a few bags tied to the man's body.
At this time, Qiyue also understood that these people were driving corpses, and they were obviously selling drugs in the name of driving corpses, but today she and Xu Le met.
July didn't want to be nosy, after all, she didn't come to engage in anti-drug work, and she couldn't be guilty of meddling with a mouse, but she didn't take a mouse, but the mouse was sent to the door by herself.
A few drug dealers chatted and began to take out food to eat, this broken temple has been around for a year, so it is inevitable that some snakes, insects, rats and ants live, and the smell of a few people eating things attracts the rats living in this broken temple, and this rat is not afraid of people, and he crawled towards those people with a shrunken face.
"Damn, this rat is so bold. ”
When a drug dealer saw that the mouse was coming, he picked up a nearby rock and threw it at the mouse. The stone didn't hit the mouse, but it made the mouse squeak in fright. Those people were also idle and bored, and suddenly thought it was quite interesting to play mice, so they each took something and hit the mouse.
The rat was beaten and fled in a panic, it had no way out, and as a result, it drilled under the table, July and Xu Le were under the table, a few drug dealers were playing the rat and it was interesting, and they also chased over, it didn't matter if they came over, as soon as the curtain was lifted, they saw July and Xu Le inside.
"Alas!" July sighed, what does it mean that there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door in hell for you to break in! She had no intention of meddling, but if you come to die, then she is not welcome.
