96. Chapter 96
The bus driver looked at the two men who were walking towards him in horror.
Compared to before, Yunjing's backpack was more than doubled, and it was self-evident what was in it, but he had seen Yunjing collect those eye-catching magic weapons with his own eyes.
However, this time, even if he knew that Yunjing was carrying a treasure, the bus driver had no thought at all, especially looking at Morpheus's eyes, which was no different from ordinary people seeing ghosts.
Cultivators like them have seen far more things in heaven and earth than ordinary people, and once they get used to it, when they encounter unexpected situations, they will naturally seem to be far more courageous than ordinary people.
But in the end, they are still human beings, and they will not be less than the same.
He thought that they were already standing in a slightly higher class than ordinary people, but today, he found that above them, there were still hunters.
Recalling the picture of Morpheus eating people before, the process was smooth, without a trace of hesitation, it was obvious that he had eaten countless times before, and then looked at Yunjing's expression, calm and tight, and it was not strange......
"We're back." Seeing that the bus driver was still parked in place, Yunjing said to the driver.
"You ...... Kill so many people......" The bus driver looked at Yunjing and Morpheus in horror.
Yun Jing looked at his panicked expression and explained indifferently: "They want to kill me, we are just fighting back to save our lives." β
The bus driver listened to Yun Jing's peaceful voice, took a few deep breaths, and slowly calmed down: "But you have killed so many people, this movement can't be covered up." β
"Isn't there a formation around here to conceal it, and the movement in the formation can't be transmitted to the outside world, and ordinary people can't sense it." Saying that, Yunjing looked at the bus, "This car has been transformed, there are aura fluctuations in some details, and the surrounding glass is also special, if there is no accident, you will not be caught." β
The bus driver barely suppressed the fear in his heart and said in a low voice, "I'm not talking about ordinary people, I'm a cultivator...... Although the formation conceals the breath in the formation, the fluctuation of the formation itself cannot deceive people, although Changxiang is the capital of this province, but because it is too prosperous, it is not a place where people who concentrate on cultivating the Tao gathered......
"It's not in line with the rules to set up this kind of formation to kill people in the city, but there are too many people involved this time, and they just expected that the law would not be held accountable, so they came to ambush you......
"And now, everybody's dead. The formation can cover up for a while, but the person is really gone! When the time comesβ"
"-- maybe more people will come and kill me." Yun Jing said the second half of the sentence for him.
The bus driver nodded.
"But it's also possible that someone is jealous of my strength and can make me stop for a while." Yunjing looked at the face of the bus driver, Yan SΓΉ, and said with a smile.
The bus driver could still laugh when he saw Yunjing, and couldn't help but say: "Once you are chased and killed by the big faction as a demon, the consequences are unimaginable!" β
Yunjing sneered: "Those who kill people will always kill them." If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if people offend me, what will happen if they go back? With Jiang Hao from Tianluanmen acting for me before, and this ambush to kill chickens and monkeys, anyone with brains knows what to do. β
Yunjing spoke, saying no more, and walked with Morpheus towards the only seat in the car that was not occupied by zombie passengers.
As he walked, Yunjing only felt a lightness on his back, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Morpheus lifting the heavy backpack on his back, and then unloading it from Yunjing's back, and carrying it himself: "I'll carry it later." β
Yunjing looked at Morpheus's body, pursed his lips and smiled, and sat down with Morpheus.
"You ...... Where are you going back? The bus driver asked.
"Let's go back to the city, let's go to the city to find a hotel to stay, there will be a flight at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and then we will leave." Yunjing didn't hide it, and said directly.
The bus driver nodded, started the car, and headed outside.
While driving, the bus driver took a look through the left and right rearview mirrors to see the scenic spot that was gradually pulled away.
With the death of the five ancestors, the formation immediately dissipated, and after Morpheus finished eating people, the purple mist and blood color also disappeared.
At this moment, the scenic spot is quiet, the aura is still the same, but there is no blood in sight, a qiΔ is too calm, as if the previous big war is all an illusion.
The bus driver looked away again and saw the two people sitting in the car through the rearview mirror.
After talking to Yunjing for a few words to make sure that he didn't have to worry about his life, he had gradually calmed down at this moment.
After hesitating and making a choice for a few minutes, the bus driver couldn't help but bite the bullet and said, "That...... My surname is Li, and my name is Li Jiangang......"
Yunjing, who was playing with Morpheus's hand, looked up when he heard the sound.
Morpheus immediately raised his eyes and glared at Li Jiangang, and then used his body to block Yunjing and the driver's gaze through the mirror.
Li Jiangang was so frightened by Morpheus that his body softened, and he almost couldn't even hold the steering wheel steadily, and the picture of the sea of corpses and blood just now immediately flashed in his mind.
Yun Jing pulled Morpheus over, pressed him obediently on the seat, and then continued to hold Morpheus's hand, looking at Li Jiangang gently: "Hello, my name is Yun Jing." β
"I know your name is Yunjing, haha, before I came, they told me about your gender, age, appearance characteristics, etc." Li Jiangang was so nervous that his face stiffened, and he said with a dry smile.
"I'm ...... I am also a cultivator, and I am a corpse chaser, and my family is in Lijia Village...... There are not many people, since the ancestors have been doing this, in the old society, this line of work was quite prosperous, and then cremation began, the transportation became more and more convenient, and the corpse chasers were terrifying, and slowly no one was willing to hire us, and the corpse chasing industry gradually fell into loneliness......
"Our Li family has been divided into several branches, scattered all over the country, after so many years of evolution and survival, basically turned to all walks of life, and the people who have mastered this corpse expulsion are estimated to be the only ones left......
"Of course, although I was born good, but my brain is slow, no matter what I learn, I am half a beat slower than ordinary people, so although I work hard to learn, I still can't learn the essence of the corpse, my father is also very dissatisfied with me, before he left, he really couldn't find an heir, so he had no choice but to hand over the family to me......"
Li Jiangang babbled on and on, because of nervousness, he spoke backwards and forwards, without a focus, as if he was chatting with Yunjing.
As he spoke, there was no movement behind him, Li Jiangang hurriedly looked up nervously, and when he saw Yun Jing staring at him, his heart tightened: "That...... IβI'm going to tell you about myself......"
Yun Jing looked at Li Jiangang's nervous appearance, and hurriedly smiled: "You are corpse chasers?" β
"Hmmm......"
"Is the zombie in this car the corpse you chase every day?" Yunjing asked.
Li Jiangang smiled bitterly: "How can it be, there are no corpses now, these are the family funds left to me by my father - the remains of our ancestors that we treasure in the village." β
Yunjing was stunned for a moment, originally thought that these were ghost zombies, and they didn't take it seriously, but at this moment, he stopped and turned his head curiously to look at it carefully, only to find that there were indeed many people who looked subtly similar, and it could be seen that they were related.
"These corpses are our ancestors, either they were corpse chasers before their deaths, or they were the wives of corpse chasers, who have been exposed to the breath of corpse chasers for many years, and the husband and wife are of the same origin, and they have also assimilated over time.
"After this long-term cultivation, the bodies of our corpse chasers are different from ordinary people, and our ancestors are related to me by blood, and they are more handy in operation...... These ancestors are actually our life-saving means.
"Once you encounter danger, you will command your ancestors to fight, and you will always play some role......"
Hearing this, Yun Jing frowned and looked at Li Jiangang: "In order to participate in the team that intercepted and killed me, you actually moved out the bodies of your ancestors?" β
"No, no, no." When Li Jiangang heard this, he hurriedly denied it, "Actually, at the beginning, I was not interested in this operation, I just told you, our lineage, with the development of the times, began to be slowly eliminated, and in my generation, there is no corpse for us to practice, and the inheritance is almost broken, I estimate that the next few generations, it will really disappear......
"We're all like this, what's going on, not to mention taking life-saving things to participate, it's not a matter of our own lives.
"Actually, the reason why I agreed to join is because our village has been tormented by a strange thing in recent years......"
Yunjing thought that when he got into the car before, Li Jiangang kindly reminded him that if he really came to Yunjing, he would not have done that at that time, besides, Morpheus's strength Li Jiangang had also seen it, and he had already promised not to kill Li Jiangang, and at this time, he really did not risk being eaten by Morpheus to lie and deceive Yunjing and Morpheus.
The most important thing is that because of the old man in the past, Yunjing had to choose to listen.
"What's weird?" Yunjing asked.
"A few decades ago, when the corpse chaser industry was still lively, our Li family produced several geniuses, at that time, the most powerful should be my seventh grandfather, he was less than ten years old, he followed β‘β‘ to drive the corpse, and two years later, he was able to independently carry the corpse in the mountains.
"During the period, there were occasionally teams with his brothers, that is, my own grandfather, etc., to drive out the corpse, at that time, there were many mountains and forests, lonely ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, etc., and there were a lot of them, and occasionally they were lucky to drive the corpse calmly, but there were also a few times, and they encountered evil things that almost lost their lives, thanks to my seven grandfathers, who were talented, smart, and extremely fast, everyone was able to complete the task again and again safely.
"Everyone is optimistic about the seventh grandfather, and before the β‘β‘ leave, they are also relieved to hand over the beam to the seventh grandfather, and ask my own grandfathers to assist the seventh grandfather together, carry forward our Li family, and ...... the famous Daomen."
Li Jiangang said, a few traces of sadness flashed in his eyes, seeing that Yunjing had been listening carefully, without the slightest impatience to interrupt, Li Jiangang simply poured beans, and said all: "But then those turbulent things happened, the Li family was almost destroyed as feudal superstition, and in order to escape for their lives, several families fled in different directions."
"Some people are gone, and they never come back, and they don't know whether they will settle down elsewhere and live well, or if they will die in a foreign land and will not be able to return to their homeland.
"Fortunately, after the seventh grandfather left for decades, he contacted my own grandfather, the two brothers were separated for decades, and finally met again, the two old people were very happy, the seventh grandfather was still a young man when he was separated from his family, and now he meets again, not only marrying a wife and having children, but also his sons are older than when the seventh grandfather left, and even has a wife.
"Listen to my own grandfather, the son of the seventh grandfather was born tall and straight, not to mention how handsome, and the daughter-in-law is also delicate, and the children and grandchildren who will be born in the future will definitely be extraordinary, and they are definitely good seedlings to inherit our family heritage.
"It's a pity...... The seventh grandfather's son grew up outside, not in our Li family village, in the face of the corpse chaser, there was some rejection, the seventh grandfather took his family back to Li family village, he lost his temper, quarreling with the seventh grandfather every day, the quarrel made the seventh grandfather's family unpeaceful, the people in our village, also embarrassed, I don't know what to do.
In the end, Grandpa Seventh was persuaded by his son and decided to leave Lijia Village with his son, but he needed a few years of preparation time to teach his skills to the descendants of Lijia Village, and he couldn't let the corpse chaser vein be broken in his hands.
"Listen to my father, at that time I was still a mud puddle rolling in the ground, I didn't understand anything, every day I stupidly followed my brothers and sisters behind to dig out bird eggs and eat fingers, everyone laughed at me stupid, Grandpa Seven was the first person to find out that I was congenitally good, praised me for my good talent, and wanted to focus on cultivating me, and teach me a qiΔ, but unfortunately, before I grew up, Grandpa Seventh had an accident."
"I still remember that year was Tuwa'er's birthday - Tuwa'er, the grandson of the seventh grandfather, was also born in our Lijia Village, ten years younger than me, tiger-headed, not to mention cute. The seventh grandfather said that day was good, so he took two boys with good ability in the village to drive the corpses together, I still remember the scene of their departure, the sky was gloomy, the surroundings were gray, and the seventh grandfather's complexion was like the cold piece of iron, glowing with a stream of black and gray.
"Tuwa'er is naturally sensitive, and she is still a baby, but she seems to be able to predict something. On weekdays, he seems to dislike the dead air on Grandpa Seven, and he has always disliked letting Grandpa Seventh hug, but on the day Grandpa Seventh left, he seemed to sense something, and the one who cried was heartbreaking, and he was about to cry.
Tuwaer's mother was helpless, holding the child to send the seventh grandfather to the entrance of the village, Tuwaer could see the seventh grandfather, so she didn't cry, but once the seventh grandfather went away, she cried and made a fuss. But in the end, Grandpa Seventh still left, and as soon as he left, he never came back, and the nightmare of our village slowly began to ...... from that time."
"Nightmares?" Yunjing said suspiciously, "What nightmare?" β
"The corpse chaser is to bring home the bones of those who died in a foreign land, through the method of driving the corpse, the seventh grandfather went out that time, no one knows what happened, only that he disappeared and never came back, whether it is life or death, no one knows.
"But what can be confirmed is that the bodies that he needs to be responsible for rushing back were not returned on time." Li Jiangang lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, after all, many corpse chasers have walked a lot of nights, and the final destination is a little strange.
"But...... I don't know what happened this time, those corpses turned into yin spirits and came back to trouble our Li family......"
Li Jiangang said, a trace of fear and sadness flashed in his eyes.
Yunjing immediately asked, "Looking for your seventh grandfather's son and grandson?" That dirt baby? β
"I don't know." Li Jiangang said uncomfortably, "Seventh Grandpa is missing, he is so powerful, at first everyone didn't believe that he would not be able to come back, and Seventh Grandpa's children and grandchildren naturally didn't want to believe it." They waited in the mountains for three years, until Tuwa'er should go to kindergarten, and the seventh grandfather's son said that Tuwa'er had to keep up with the footsteps of urban children, so when she reached her age, she had to go to school, so she couldn't wait any longer, so she left Lijia Village.
"Seventh Grandpa and his children, they don't like corpse chasers and Lijia Village, so after they left, they never came back except for regularly coming to inquire about Seventh Grandpa's whereabouts every year.
"More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, there is still no news from Grandpa Seven, the relationship between Lijiacun and Tuwa'er's family is getting weaker and weaker, everyone thinks that this matter has passed, but at this time, we heard the bad news that Grandpa Seven's son died in vain, and soon after, Tuwa'er also had an accident, and it was even more weird than his father, and no one can figure out how Tuwa'er had an accident until now.
Although Lijia Village and Tuwa'er's family have gradually become less connected, they are the blood of the seventh grandfather after all, and they died like this, everyone is very sad, and the entire Lijia Village is dressed in linen and filial piety, mourning for the dead relatives, however, at this time, nightmares also quietly descended on Lijia Village, in the village, first all kinds of animals died strangely, and then, people had accidents one after another.
"Our corpse clan gradually broke off the inheritance, and it has become more and more like ordinary people, so at the beginning of the accident, we didn't know what was going on, and we didn't know what to do, but fortunately, the ancestors appeared later, and I accidentally controlled the corpses of more than a dozen ancestors, and finally found out that there were ghosts who came to the village to make trouble and ask for people's lives!"
"And then?" Yunjing hurriedly asked, and even Morpheus on the side couldn't help but look at Li Jiangang and wait for his next step, because one of the characters involved in this story had also crossed paths with Yunjing Morpheus.
"It was around October last year, and when I saw the faces of those ghosts, I thought it was a rebellion by mountain ghosts, and when I thought of the dead relatives, I suddenly burst out with a force that I would never be able to use, and drove the ghosts away...... As soon as they ran away, I told the whole village about the incident, asking everyone to take precautions and keep an eye out for the recent movements on the mountain.
"But after listening to my description, someone in the village remembered that those ghosts were none other than the group of corpses that Seventh Grandpa had driven at the beginning! Because among the corpses, there were several people who were dressed very distinctively, and some of them also had distinctive appearances, so when I said this, some people immediately recognized them.
"At that time, everyone's faces were not very good-looking, but they didn't know what to do for a while, it was my seventh grandfather's dereliction of duty, this matter, it must not be publicized, we also naively thought, since the ghosts have been beaten away by me, they should not come again, but three months later, that is, in January this year, they appeared again......
"This time, I didn't burst out with extraordinary strength, and the ghosts harmed many people in the village, and in the end, it was a clan relative who had achieved cultivation that drove away the ghosts by sacrificing himself.
"However, his sacrifice can only keep everyone safe for a while, according to the previous time, in another three months, that is, in April this year, that group of ghosts will appear in the ...... of our village again."
Li Jiangang said, thinking of those dead clansmen, his eyes were red: "It's all because my brain is too stupid, obviously I already have talent, but I can't learn anything, obviously we are in the same vein as the corpse chaser, and we were also a big inheritor back then, but now we have fallen into such a situation, and let that group of resentful ghosts bully!"
"I can't watch my relatives persecuted like this anymore, so I started to contact the people in various sects, hoping that someone can help me, but when they heard that the ghosts were so difficult, they all flinched, unwilling to be contaminated with this evil thing, and some people even fell into the ground, saying that it was the sin created by my seventh grandfather, and naturally I wanted the descendants of my Li family to bear it......
"It makes me feel so uncomfortable when I hear this!"
Li Jiangang said, this hideous-looking man actually shed two lines of tears.
Yunjing looked at him: "You want me to help you?" β
Li Jiangang looked at Yunjing with red eyes: "I can't hide it, the reason why I agreed to participate in the siege and killing of you is because these people agreed, as long as I join with the remains of my ancestors, I wish them a helping hand, after the matter is completed, they will go to Lijia Village together during the Qingming Festival in April, help me see what is going on, if I can get rid of those yin spirits and evil spirits, they will do their best to help."
"Although you are innocent, you are not related to me, thinking of those people in Lijia Village, I ...... Although I felt guilty, I couldn't help but agree......"
Li Jiangang said, looking away, not daring to look at Yunjing again.
"But in the end, you couldn't help but hint that I don't get in the car, and it was in front of those ancestors and descendants, at that time, I guess I didn't think about how many descendants complained to the ancestors afterwards, in case the ancestors got angry, what would be the result." Cloudview Road.
Li Jiangang smiled bitterly: "So I was born stupid, I was impulsive, and I didn't care about the overall situation, I was so stupid and stupid, and I was a vain person......"
"It's kindness." Yunjing smiled at Li Jiangang and said, "Maybe it's the temperament in your Li family's bones, it's good." β
Li Jiangang looked at Yunjing suspiciously, not knowing why he said this, as if he had seen other Li family members.
