Chapter 8 The soul is unstable, and people and ghosts have different paths
I often hear people say that corpses will smell rancid after being stored for a long time, but I didn't understand it at first, but I just thought it might be similar to stinky meat that has been stored at home for a long time.
But now that I smell it up close, I realize that it is not a grade at all, and I can't even open my eyes.
Liang Tianyu beside him was no better, and he couldn't care about holding me up, so he took two steps back, covered his mouth and kept coughing.
"Ahem...... Road...... Ahem, Daoist, what's the matter with you? Ahem, don't all the corpses have to be embalmed, how did you get like this? I'm afraid that before we get to the place, these corpses will have to turn into water. ”
"Cough, Xiaoyou doesn't know, this is not the stench of **rotten, but the corpse gas produced by the leakage of spirits and heroes. ”
"The soul leaks out, what are you talking about, the corpses are all driven out, and you don't use the Dao method to suppress the soul?"
"Well, Poor Dao has cast a spell, but I don't know why I didn't suppress it. ”
"Didn't hold it down?!"
This time, it wasn't just Liang Tianyu, even I couldn't help but exclaim.
Chasing corpses is to use the Tao method to suppress the soul of a person in the corpse, so that it can stand upright and jump forward. When the spell is lifted and the soul has a home, it can be regarded as a complete merit.
But now that these corpses are still halfway through, the soul can't be suppressed, so how can they rush.
"Dao Chief, you're a trick, aren't you? Didn't you just say what kind of witch orthodoxy you are, how can you not even suppress your soul, you won't be a novice who has just started, right?"
"Nonsense, Poor Dao has been learning the secret art of chasing corpses since he was ten years old, and it has been more than forty years now, how can he be a hairy boy who has just started!"
"Then you can't hold back your soul to explain. ”
"This ...... Alas, that's it, that's it, inviting a little friend to help me solve my troubles, just tell the truth. ”
Fu Lin sighed, pulled me aside, sat down on the rocks by the roadside, and told me what had happened......
Fulin Daoren, that is, the leading corpse chaser in front of me, was formerly known as Zhang Daocai, a native of southern Hunan. According to his own words, the ancestor is a descendant of Zhang Tianshi, who specializes in the way of exorcising corpses and ghosts, and no one is more orthodox than him.
"Fulin" is the name of the ancestors, since the age of ten, he followed his father to learn the secret art of driving out the corpse, at the age of sixteen for the first time, and now he is also a master of the world with thirty-six years of Taoist age.
However, his career in chasing corpses was very short, and once when he was thirty years old, he encountered the most resentful corpse and drove out a bloody corpse. If it weren't for the protection of the ancestral treasure, I'm afraid I would have died in Huangquan long ago. But my life was saved, but a face was ruined, and it became the hideous face I see now.
At the beginning, Fulin changed careers and became a night watchman in a funeral parlor in his hometown town, and then married a wife and started a family, living a comfortable life, and more than 20 years were dull.
During this period, with the development of the economy, the progress of society, the more and more developed transportation, and the more and more open people's minds, the business of driving corpses gradually lost the market, and Fulin had no chance to return to the old business.
I thought that my life would pass like this, but I didn't expect that this year would coincide with a horrific natural disaster, and corpses were everywhere. Many people approached him again and asked him to help bring his relatives and friends who died in the disaster area back to their hometowns.
There is no way to do it, the roads damaged by an earthquake are impassable, and the relief materials may not be transported in time, who is in the mood to transport the corpses out. The right path doesn't work, so I have to use this evil method to help.
Fu Lin didn't want to go out of the mountain, first, it was too dangerous to drive the corpses, and second, the place he was going to was too dangerous. The ancestors confessed that the corpses could not go down to Sichuan, and those who drove the corpses generally rarely ran to the land of Sichuan and Shu, and the natural disasters had not completely passed, so they could not go.
But Fu Lin couldn't endure the bitter begging of many villagers, and in the last thought, the ancestor just said that he couldn't drive the corpse to the Sichuan land, not that he couldn't drive it out of the Sichuan land, so he should go down this errand.
Of course, yes to yes, and the preparations still have to be done.
First of all, I determined the route to ensure that the place I passed was not affected by too much earthquake, and then I chose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and I brought all the equipment and went on the road.
Everything went well before, and the body was picked up on the auspicious day of the zodiac, "July 15, Zhongyuan Festival".
The midyear festival is the birthday of the king of the prefecture, and on this day, the prefecture opens the ghost door widely, releases all the ghosts, and recalls all the souls after seven days. During this period, the Ten Palaces Yama celebrated the birthday of the monarch of the palace, and gathered his might, and even if the corpse of the corpse passed by the ghost city, it would not be affected too much. Therefore, Fulin called these seven days the auspicious days of the zodiac to drive out the corpses.
But since the corpses were picked up, things have become more and more troublesome.
Fulin was originally going to pick up a total of fifteen corpses, but when he took the list to claim them, he found that some of them were incomplete and could not be taken away, so he could only take out seven corpses in the end.
The seven bodies belonged to the kind of people who died of starvation, thirst, and suffocation, died in the earthquake and were dug up by rescue teams. The corpse was well preserved, under the unified management of the state, and there was no decomposition before.
With the special identity of the funeral home, after taking over the claim, Fulin immediately used the soil method to do the embalming treatment, and there was no big problem.
But since embarking on the journey back to his hometown, the corpses began to slowly emit a stench, which became worse day by day, and finally even Yizhuang, which was used by the corpse chasers to rest on the way, refused to receive the "people" of Fulin.
At first, Fu Lin thought that the hot weather caused the corpses to decompose, but after careful examination, none of the corpses had a tendency to decompose. Later, he carefully flipped through the secret instructions handed down by his ancestors to drive away the corpse and realized that this was because there were seven unstable spirits in the corpse, and the stinking situation would appear when the spirit and heroic spirit were leaked.
It is also very simple to solve, as long as you understand the cause of the deceased's death and calm his soul.
But these people obviously died of natural disasters, how can there be seven instability, unless they are killed by someone, and the obsession before death is not gone.
Seven corpses were in a row, and the corpse was full of gas, and Fu Lin couldn't find which one had a problem after searching for a long time, so he could only continue to hurry, thinking that it would be good to return to his hometown as soon as possible and let the corpses be buried in peace.
Seeing that he was about to leave Shudi and return to Xiangxi, he didn't expect to meet our bus man this night.
After Fu Lin finished telling me what had happened, he stared at me with an expectant gaze, and I realized why he had to pull me over to see the corpse.
"Dao Chief, you don't want me to help you see what happened to these corpses in their previous lives, do you?"
"Xiaoyou is very smart, and this is exactly what the poor road means. ”
"Go aside, don't drag the text for me. I can't help you with this, I don't see anything. ”
"Well, you're too modest, if you can look at the corpses, you'll be able to find out which one is wrong. When you freed that wild cat just now, I could already see that you were a godsend and could see all things. ”
"Dao Chief, you are dazzled, you are wrong. I was so scared just now that I couldn't stop it. ”
I politely declined Fulin's request.
Nonsense, how can I admit this kind of thing, I don't usually use this talent. I've seen a lot of things since I was a child, and many of them scared me a lot. That happened passively, this time take the initiative to do it, who knows what will happen, and look at seven corpses in a row, isn't this looking for death.
"Little friend, you don't have to hide your poor ways. I can't see corpses, but I'm still very accurate when I look at people. Since you got out of the car, the red light on your forehead flashed non-stop, such a miracle is absolutely not something that people can have. ”
"Don't praise me, it's useless, if you don't look at it, you don't look at it. ”
"Alas, little friend, I won't tell you. Buddhism talks about the fate of the law, and Taoism talks about the natural law, and they are all talking about the problem of fixed numbers. You and I can meet on this ghoul path, and the ancestors must have sent you to help me solve this disaster. ”
"Don't fool me, I don't believe it. ”
"You...... Well, don't you want to leave this ghoul road?"
"What do you mean?"
"Stepping on the road of ghouls, there is no turning back. You are trapped here, and if you don't know the correct way, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the path of the world for the rest of your life. ”
"Damn, you're threatening me!"
"It's not a threat, it's just telling the truth. Help me find out the truth, I'll help you get out of the ghost road, we don't owe each other, how about it?"
Fu Lin's eyes were fixed on me, waiting for me to make a decision.
On the other side, Liang Tianyu, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
"Dude, agree to the Daoist's request, otherwise we may not be able to get out. ”
"Why?"
"Look ahead. ”
Liang Tianyu raised his hand and pointed, I looked over, and saw that the direction of the Fulin Daoist who drove the corpse was pitch black, and there was no road at all.
I stood up in disbelief and strode forward a long way away, nothing but darkness in my eyes.
When I turned my head again, I was shocked to find that Fulin and Liang Tianyu were beside me, as if I hadn't moved forward at all just now.
"What is this, the hell hitting the wall?"
"Humans and ghosts have different paths, and no matter how far your living body goes on the ghoul path, it will only stand still. ”
Fu Lin's answer came faintly, and I was completely out of luck.
What to do, do you really want to see those corpses?
I looked up at the dead people lying in a row in front of me, and suddenly remembered that the person in the car had told me about the disappearance of the body. The corpses that ran away by themselves couldn't have been stolen by corpse chasers, right?
I was thinking wildly, when suddenly a breeze blew, and the charm on the face of the first corpse was blown open, and the man's face suddenly came into my eyes.
This is a middle-aged man with a serene expression on his face, as if he did not suffer much before he died, giving people a feeling of getting what he wanted.
I looked at the sensation and suddenly found myself in a confined space, and the cry of a child could be heard next to me.
"Dad, I'm scared. ”
"Don't be afraid, someone will come to our rescue. ”
"But it's been a few days. ”
"It's okay, I can hear someone talking outside, the rescue team must have found this place. Come, son, drink saliva. ”
"Dad, this is the last sip of water, I'm not thirsty, you drink. ”
"It's okay, Dad isn't thirsty. I'm going to go out for a drink later. Come, drink the water, and be obedient. ”
"Hmm. ”
Then the voice died down, and I heard the sound of someone pouring water into their mouth.
Hearing this voice, I felt as if I had heard the most beautiful music of time, and I fell asleep peacefully until a terrible howl sounded in my ears.
"Daddy, save my daddy!"
The sound was like a flood of bells, deafening, and I opened my eyes suddenly, and suddenly found that I didn't know when I had walked up to the corpse and handed over the water in my hand.
"This ......"
I don't know when I came here or why I did it, but the conversation between father and son is etched in my mind for a long time.
"A sip of water, a life, is this his last wish?"
I muttered to myself, my heart heavy.
And Fu Lin next to me saw me open my eyes, and quickly asked, "Little friend, how is it, what do you see?"
"Well, nothing. I slowly withdrew my hand in the air and asked softly, "Does this man have a son?"
"That's right. ”
"How's his son?"
"I haven't seen it, but I heard that the rescue team rescued me and sent him back to his hometown. ”
"Okay, that'll be fine. It's not him who has the problem. ”
"Shall we see the next one?"
"Well, let's see. ”
I sighed softly, nodded slightly at the middle-aged man, and walked forward with Fu Lin.
