Iron Bull was turning to face the door, seemingly too startled to speak, just pointing behind Poplar.

Poplar suddenly turned around, and saw that there were eight people standing straight up and down the walls on both sides of the gate, just behind the gate.

Four on the left, four on the right, a total of eight.

All of them wore long black coats that covered their ankles.

The sleeves of the gown are also long, completely covering the palm of the person's hand.

Everyone had a big straw hat hanging on their chests, and it felt like they were standing against the wall, so they had to hang the straw hats on their chests first.

The straw hat was round and big, covering the necks and faces of the eight people, and you couldn't see their faces, only the heads of all of them were wrapped in black turbans.

Poplar's heart moved, and he hurriedly pulled the iron bull out of the inn gate.

Although Tie Niu was bold, he was also shocked and turned pale, and stammered and asked, "Lao Bai, have you seen those eight ...... Are the eight standing behind the door all dead? Are they all dead?"

"It should be!"

Poplar nodded, saw the guide standing far away at the bottom of the hillside, and hurriedly walked towards the guide.

The guide, who did not wait for them to approach, was already trotting down the slope, as if he had been caught up by something if he had walked slowly.

Poplar Iron Bull was frightened by the guide's hurried posture, and followed the guide slowly.

As Tie Niu ran away, he asked Bai Yang, "What the hell is going on, Lao Bai? Why are so many dead people standing upright in the inn? And the inn, how can it be so strange?"

Bai Yang had already guessed eight points in his heart, but he didn't say anything at that time, just followed the guide and hurried away.

After walking until the sun set, Poplar had to catch up with the guide and said, "We can't be in such a hurry anymore, we have to find a place to spend the night while it is still dark!"

"Sleepover?" The guide turned his head and looked at the poplar iron bull for a while, and couldn't help but sneer, "You still want to sleep peacefully, let me tell you, you won't be scared to death tonight, that's thank God!"

"What do you mean, Brother Miao, can you make it clear?" Tie Niu asked.

The guide's surname is not Miao, but his name is a bit awkward in Chinese, so Tie Niu calls him "Brother Miao". Poplar heard it so much, so he called it the same.

Brother Miao shook his head and sighed, "Do you know what kind of inn you just entered is?"

"What kind of inn? isn't the inn inhabited?" Tie Niu looked confused.

"It's a dweller, but it's not a living person, it's a dead person!" said Brother Miao.

Tie Niu said "ah", and asked again: "Brother Miao, what do you mean by this? There is also an inn for the dead?"

"Of course!" Brother Miao smiled wryly, "You don't want to think about it, how can there be an inn in this barren mountain and wilderness? Even if there are living people willing to live in his shop, there are not many living people who can pass through here all year round, right?"

"If there are no living people passing by, can there be dead people passing through here?"

Brother Miao just shook his head, as if he didn't even want to explain.

Poplar hurriedly interjected and said, "As far as I guess, the inn should be dedicated to the corpse team, right?"

"Corpse team?" Tie Niu's eyes widened suddenly, "Yes, those dead people are just as straight as zombies in Hong Kong horror movies, but ...... The clothes they wore were different, and their arms didn't stretch forward!"

"Their arms didn't stretch forward because they were resting now, and when they were on their way at night, they would naturally have to stretch out to explore the way!" said Miao Ge.

Tie Niu was even more frightened, and said: "Chase the corpse, I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true......! Why do you want to chase corpses? Also, that inn is specially opened for corpse chasers, is there more corpse chasers than the living people passing by?"

"There are no more corpse chasers than the living people passing by, but the living can choose not to live in the inn in order to save money. Brother Miao answered coldly, "But the corpse team can't rush during the day, so they have to rush to his inn before dawn." In addition, the accommodation fee of each happy god, that is, the dead person, is slightly more expensive than that of the living, but there is no need to prepare a special bed, and there is no need to cook and stir-fry in a hurry, just an empty room and another night and morning for the two corpse chasers to eat. Do you think it's a living man's business to make money, or is it convenient to make money from this god?"

Iron Bull was dumbfounded, and glanced at the poplar in a blink of an eye.

Bai Yang said: "As far as I know, the reason why there is a business of chasing corpses is that there are some people in the mountains who are out of the house, because they died in a foreign land, and the corpses are not easy to transport home, so the families of these people can only entrust the corpse chasers to bring their relatives home." But I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in this era. ”

"It is precisely because the country is stable now that there are more people who come out of the mountains to beg for a living than before, but when they encounter birth, old age, sickness and death, they still can't send the corpse back to the mountain, so they can only ask the corpse chaser to help!" Brother Miao sighed and smiled bitterly again, "It's just that now...... Put an end to feudal superstition, these corpse chasers can only be more sneaky than before when they receive work!"

Bai Yang wanted to ask what the principle of the Miao people was to drive away the corpses, and why people who were obviously dead would follow the instructions of the corpse chasers to go over the mountains and mountains all night.

can know that such a thing must be a secret of the Miao people, not to mention that Brother Miao may not know, and even if he does, he may not be willing to tell them Han people.

Hesitating in his heart, Tie Niu didn't have as much thought as he had, and asked bluntly: "These people are obviously all dead, how can the corpse chasers drive these dead corpses all the way home?"

"Who do I ask?" Sure enough, Brother Miao glanced at Tie Niu and shook his head quickly, "There are very few people who can drive corpses among our Miao people, and the craft of chasing corpses has always been passed from father to son, son to grandson, and male not female, so ...... Although I am a Miao person, I don't know the secret. ”

Bai Yang felt that this Brother Miao was telling the truth this time, and asked again, "Why haven't we seen the owner of that inn?"

"The innkeeper lives in the house next door, and the living are completely separated from Xishen, so the room where the innkeeper lives is even open at the back! And because Xishen can't move fireworks when he enters the store, let alone make a noise to disturb Xishen, once Xishen enters the store, the shopkeeper will also hide in the house and sleep quietly, and when the corpse chaser team is about to leave at night, they will take some cold rice and cold dishes for the corpse chaser to eat!" Brother Miao said.

Bai Yang suddenly realized and said: "No wonder that house is deserted and doesn't look like there are living people living in it, it turns out that there are so many exquisite!"

Brother Miao nodded and didn't speak again.

Poplar looked at the twilight, and said, "It's going to be dark soon, and we're far enough away from that inn, so let's hurry up and find a place to stay!"

The Iron Bull chimed in. Brother Miao glanced back at them a few times again and said, "Do you know what the consequences will be if you break into the Dead Man's Inn and just happen to bump into the corpse team?"

"What are the consequences?" Poplar was taken aback, "what could be the consequences?" you said earlier...... It's going to scare us to death tonight because ...... Are you talking about this consequence?"

"Yes!" Brother Miao nodded, "It is said that once a living person strays into the Dead Man's Inn, and happens to bump into the corpse team that is resting in the inn, the next night, the corpse team will follow your footsteps until they find you!"

His words surprised Poplar Tie Niu, who blurted out in surprise, "What are they looking for us? Do they still want to harm us?"

"I don't know if it's harmful, but I've heard about it anyway!" Brother Miao replied, "It is said that after being caught up by the corpse team, the living person who collided with the happy gods will be sucked away by the happy gods one by one, and once the vitality is sucked, it is not surprising that the light ones will be seriously ill, and the heavy ones will lose their lives! The most important thing is that those happy gods come to you one by one, and ordinary people will be scared to death without waiting for the vitality to be sucked away!"

Tie Niu and Poplar looked at each other, Tie Niu smiled reluctantly, and said, "I'm not afraid...... He dared to come and suck my vitality, and I would split him into two pieces with a single sword!"

"That's already a dead man, even if you split him into two pieces, he can hurt you as much as he wants!" Brother Miao said.

Bai Yang's heart moved, and he felt that these corpses that were driven away were similar to the "big zongzi" in the tomb.

Could it be that the so-called corpse chasers are actually capable of turning dead people into zombie dumplings?

He pondered in his heart, and hurriedly asked Brother Miao: "Then what should we do?

"There must be a way, as long as you bring enough tickets and say good things to the corpse chasers, the corpse chasers will naturally be able to restrain those happy gods and prevent them from sucking your vitality!" Brother Miao said.
