Chapter 306
Canghu asked abruptly, but the answer he got was crisp. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Not interested."
"I've only heard of names."
The tone is different, but the answer is similar.
Thinking about it, Liu Yuanhua originally lived in the late Tang Dynasty, and the profession of corpse chaser had not yet arisen at that time, and Cang Yan grew up in Kunlun in the other world, how could he understand this?
Looking back at the gate where there was no movement, and thinking that there was nothing to do, the fox simply bent his eyes and told them as if he were telling a story.
The place where they are located is called Yuanling, and it is a county in Hunan.
Yuanling County has a long history, the establishment of the time can be traced back to the Han Gaozu period, there are many mountainous areas, the climate is mild, in the past is particularly rich in "Chenzhou sand", is the highest grade in the cinnabar, and cinnabar has always been an indispensable important raw material for alchemy in ancient times, so Yuanling County has often been related to Taoism since ancient times.
But it is not only Taoism that is also related to cinnabar, especially in Yuanling County, there is another strange art - "corpse expulsion technique".
"Exorcism of corpses" belongs to the "corpse art" in the witchcraft of witchcraft, and it actually belongs to the same vein as northern witchcraft when studied in detail, but compared with the grim situation of no successor after the decline of northern witchcraft, the corpse expulsion technique that has long been self-contained has not been greatly threatened, but has been systematically passed down. It's a pity that due to many reasons, this vein has always only focused on "corpse art", and the rest of witchcraft has gradually been forgotten, because it is not a real witchcraft school, and those who have learned corpse art only regard themselves as "corpse chasers" to the outside world, and do not accept the name of wizards.
Most of these corpse chasers come from the folk and pass on their skills in the form of masters and apprentices, but there are also a considerable number of families who not only have the most complete and exquisite corpse skills, but also have been engaged in corpse chases for the longest time, and they can be seen with corpses as companions almost hundreds of years ago. Just like the folk tales, the "corpse chasers" usually manipulate zombies to help the poor who are unable to return home to their hometowns, doing undoubtedly good things, but the harvest is always fear more than respect.
After all, since ancient times, human beings have regarded corpses as ominous, and the corpse chasers who deal with corpses all year round naturally become ominous in the hearts of ordinary people, even if they know that what they are doing is not evil, but people still can't help but feel worried, not only at night, but even during the day when they see corpse chasers, they are all gone, and they are not even willing to pass in front of their doors, so that the huge mansion of the corpse chaser family is actually a door.
The corpse chaser family naturally knew the various reasons for this, and they didn't want to worry a lot about ordinary people, so after a few tosses, the house of the corpse chaser family was basically built in a deserted and remote place, which not only avoided the ordinary people who were in awe of them, but also provided a lot of convenience for themselves.
-- It's not the convenience of "travel" that ordinary people have to consider, but the convenience of their "work".
If you want to drive out the corpse, you must first "raise the corpse" with necroscopy, and only after the corpse becomes a zombie can you drive the corpse on the road, and this step has not changed until today. In order to be able to make a zombie as soon as possible to send the corpse home, in addition to the help of various magic weapons, it is usually necessary to find a "corpse raising ground" to speed up the change of the corpse.
Yin Qi is by no means a beneficial thing for the living, and it is good to say that the corpse chaser has a special method of necrosis to protect the body, but for ordinary people, it is almost tantamount to a deadly poison, so in order to avoid harming the innocent, whether at work or on weekdays, the corpse chaser will take the initiative to avoid the living - just like ordinary people will take the initiative to bypass them, in this way, in fact, living in a remote place is easier for both parties.
"So, if they don't live in such an uninhabited place, they wouldn't be real corpse chasers."
After hearing Canghu's last sentence, Cang Yan immediately nodded seriously and was taught, but he had no patience to listen to it at all, but he still had to listen to her nagging for a long time, but Liu Yuanhua couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Just to tell Cang Yan that his judgment method is unreliable, so he said such a large and inexplicable family history? Does she have a hole in her brain?
didn't notice Liu Yuanhua's eyes as if he was mentally retarded, Canghu just looked up at this weathered mansion with a sigh of emotion.
"What he does is for the common people in the world, but he hides in the world and does not seek fame and fortune, such a person can truly be called a 'master'......"
Hearing this, the corners of Liu Yuanhua's eyes twitched, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and mocked: "Who said just now that they live here to facilitate their own actions?" What 'not seeking fame and fortune' is just for your own convenience. ”
Canghu smiled slightly: "That's just going with the flow." The ancients said, 'It's convenient for others and convenient for yourself', isn't this normal? ”
Seeing her determined appearance, I felt unhappy, Liu Yuanhua sneered, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but he heard some movement from inside the door, so he temporarily stopped his voice and looked over with Canghu, only to see the old housekeeper who was over half a hundred years old hurriedly walked to the door, and when he saw Canghu, he bowed from a distance, walked out of the door and said: "Two, my old lady is invited." ”
Old gentleman? Not a master?
Secretly raised his eyebrows, but Canghu didn't ask much, nodded and walked into the door with Liu Yuanhua one after another.
The house is a very traditional courtyard structure, all the decoration layout seen in the eyes is not rich and prominent, but all are ancient and traditional, in the quiet and serious air shows a kind of grandeur from the years, trance actually makes people have an illusion of traveling through time and space,
At this moment, an arrogant voice suddenly broke the silence.
"Uncle Chen, has someone come to do something to 'drive out corpses and explore secrets'?"
As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a thin young man in fashionable clothes dyed flaxen standing under the porch, holding a game console in his hand, chewing bubble gum and looking at this side with his eyes.
The old butler immediately bowed slightly: "Young master, they are ......"
The young man didn't wait for the old housekeeper to finish speaking, glanced at Canghu and Liu Yuanhua, and then withdrew his gaze to the game console, lowered his head and said while pressing: "Hmph, it's really not annoying to come to the door twice in three days." I think it's a tourist attraction here, and wouldn't it be nice to just collect money from these idiots? Anyway, they would be happy to. ”
"Young master, how can you say that about the guest ......?"
"Am I wrong?" With a sneer, the young man raised his eyes to look at the blue fox, his eyes full of disdain, "I believe that the corpse exorcism technique really exists and come all the way to 'explore', isn't it a fool?" Seeing that you are also not a small man, if you have time to listen to this kind of rumors of deceiving children, it is better to go back and play games on the Internet, it is really stupid. ”
Shaking his head with disdain, he chewed bubble gum and turned away, leaving only the sentence "I'll go back to my room to play games, and call me again after dinner."
Turning his head to look at the blue fox who was obviously stunned and stood in place, Liu Yuanhua laughed playfully.
"Oh, the 'master' you want to see."
