Ten minutes later, Xiaoxiao and they arrived at the gate of the village, only to see the three heroes of Chudi wearing a hat on their heads, holding a pipe, carrying a small basket on their backs, and carrying a medicine hoe looking for something by the stream of the ancient tea horse road.

The ancestors of the three heroes of Chudi have been nine generations of Miao doctors, and in this generation, it has become popular. Without a doctor's license, he could not engage in medicine-related professions, so he also went to the municipal health school to get a diploma so that he could continue to practice medicine in Montenegro.

He is a self-taught witch doctor who has not attended school for a few years, but he is diligent and unashamed to ask questions, and has studied traditional Chinese medicine. Less than 20 years old, he became a well-known miracle doctor in ten miles and eight towns in the Black Mountain region.

Chudi Sanxiong also has a special hobby, obsessed with Wuwu culture, from time to time to publish medical papers and folklore research papers in academic journals, known as "folk culture research experts". The prose is also very interesting, and he is still one of the "four great essayists" in Montenegro, but this is what the people have sealed for him, not self-styled.

Nishino rarely smokes, but this time he came back with a few packs of high-quality "Yangcheng", and when he met some acquaintances, he sent a little. Chu Di Sanxiong almost never left his hand, except for sleeping, he couldn't recognize Nishino anymore, and when he saw someone walking towards him, he seemed familiar, but he wasn't sure if it was Nishino.

He stopped what he was doing and stood up: "Friend, go to Jiaru Nahua (where to play)?"

"Brother Sanxiong, don't you know me?" Nishino took out a bag of Yangcheng that had not been opened and handed it to Sanxiong. Smoke is a kind of gas grass, and Nishino has always thought so, and if you have smoke, you have friends.

"Unrecognizable. You're not a teacher from Hoding Middle School, aren't you? Mixiong put down his hoe, revealing a mouthful of black cigarette teeth.

"I'm Nishino, and I've stopped teaching for a long time." Nishino and Mixiong hugged tightly and sat down on the grass by the stream, "The income from teaching is low, there is no status, and it is difficult to find a mother-in-law." ”

"Teaching is good, there are winter and summer vacations a year, and you can also tutor your own children, no need to ask for a tutor." Sanxiong ordered a Yangcheng and sandwiched it between his yellowed fingers, "This beauty is ......."

Xiaoxiao grabbed Nishino's arm and said with a smile: "I'm Nishino's female ticket, girl-freind, that is, fiancée, fiancée." You are the three heroes of the Great Miao Doctor Chudi? ”

"Da Miao Doctor doesn't dare to be a doctor, he just eats with a mouthful." Sanxiong saw that Xiaoxiao was a foreign accent, generous, beautiful as a fairy, and the temperament revealed on his body was comparable to that of ordinary Miao women, "You are welcome to come to Miao Village as a guest." Let's go, I'll show you around. ”

"Brother Sanxiong, aren't you collecting medicine? If we don't have time, let's just go and see for ourselves. Nishino stopped.

"What's that? You're my cousin, and no matter how busy you are, I'll have to take you around. Sanxiong packed up the herbs and hoes one by one, put them in the back basket, and then hung them on his shoulders with a flick, and walked towards the stockade with Nishino.

Every time he walked through a historical site, Sanxiong had to make a vivid explanation with great interest, as if he didn't know it.

On the ancient official road, there are four ancient bridges and more than ten ancient monuments. These bridge records and inscriptions are related to the "Luo Yinjun" of the Katian people in the Ming Dynasty. "Luo Yinjun" is an incognito, his real name is Luo Chang, he is the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, the secret envoy of the brocade guard, and has been in the officialdom for 50 years.

The eunuch system developed to its peak in the Ming Dynasty, and the eunuchs interfered in politics to the point of reaching the peak. "Luo Yinjun" was originally a frustrated showman, since he was eunuched into the palace to get the favor of Emperor Tianshun, began to abuse power, and was sent to Sichuan Jiedu envoy, after returning to his hometown, the court gave him a fief "Rulin Township".

At that time, the wilderness of Confucianism could be used as a fiefdom of the imperial court, which is enough to show that Montenegro had changed its land and returned to the river in the early years of the Ming Dynasty and became the first minority area in the country to be incorporated into the "imperial land".

"Wow, there is also a big eunuch, no wonder when I was resting in the pavilion, I saw two stone tablets, one is two meters high, and the other is a remnant tablet, because they are all traditional characters, I didn't look closely. I remember that there is such a person in the inscription, what is Luo Chang. Xiaoxiao stood on the Shen Bridge and suddenly realized.

"Don't underestimate this Luo Gonggong, although he is only a four-grade Cheng Zhilang, he has a high reputation in the court, he served the four dynasties of Tianshun, Hongzhi, Chenghua, and Zhengde, and the Ming Dynasty county in the Montenegro region is closely related to him." Sanxiong pointed to a wind and rain bridge on the opposite side and said, "This bridge is called Shen Bridge, which was built with Luo Chang's donation." The dragon and phoenix are carved on the bridge, the colors are bright, it still stands for 500 years, there is a shrine of sacrifice on the bridge, every fifteenth day of the first month and major traditional festivals, the common people have to go to the shrine to pray. ”

"Then is there still a Maoshan Dao chief here?" Xiaoxiao entered the wind and rain bridge and bowed three times in front of the Buddha statue in the shrine.

"No, only the Black Mountain Master." Nishino said with a smile, "Under the infiltration of the witch wind and witch rain, the witch culture in this land has been extremely developed. There are a large number of masters here, and the spells are powerful, which is second to none in the Montenegrin region. People are accustomed to referring to people who pretend to be gods and ghosts as teachers and Taoists, and the two are fundamentally different. The master must know how to spell, and the Taoist priest only needs to recite the scriptures. Chasing corpses and releasing Gu belong to the category of Shigong, and the middle-aged people here can still tell classic stories with relish, while the younger generation knows very little.

"Is there really corpse exorcism? Brother Sanxiong, you're not bragging, are you? Xiaoxiao was very curious, the small Miao Village was not as mysterious as the legend said, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, I don't believe it." ”

"What's the use of me lying to you, I still have 18 corpse exorcism gold medals and a wizard's magic seal at home, and there are countless ancient books about witchcraft. When I get home, I'll take it out for you to see. Sanxiong pointed to the tiger tooth pendant on his chest, "This can be used to ward off evil spirits." ”

"Brother Sanxiong, I haven't heard of these strange things before. You're going to be developed. Nishino smiled. I remember when I was a child playing in Sanxiong's house, there were more than a dozen boxes of ancient books in the small attic of Sanxiong's house, all of which were written with a brush or engraving and printed, which were old, and I didn't care much about it at that time.

"Cousin, I found the written record of the corpse. This kind of thaumaturgy originated in the ancient war era, when the children of the Miao people died in battle, and the leaves must be returned to their roots. If you die in a foreign land and have nowhere to return, you will become a lonely ghost and cannot be reincarnated, so the wanderer who dies in a foreign place must be buried in the ancestor. Their bodies need to be buried in their hometowns before they can be laid to rest. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, as the war in the Miaojiang area gradually decreased, there were still people who died in other places every year. Mio lit another cigarette and took a few deep puffs.

"Has anyone seen a corpse driven with their own eyes?" Smile and ask the bottom of the matter.

"Of course there is, there is a 102-year-old grandmother Yang Qiuji in the village."

"Then take us to visit Grandma."

"Please follow me—"

Before he knew it, Mio was already standing at the door of his house. The three-storey stilted building stands on the edge of the stone bridge, and the vermilion gate is open.

"You wait for me, I'll go and put my things at home." Mio put down the basket in his hand.

"This Shuqiaofang pharmacy has national characteristics, how is the business?" Xiaoxiao looked up at the signboard, there were two characters on it, Miao Wen and Chinese characters, Miao Wen Xiaoxiao didn't know it, and he couldn't read it.

"It's okay to support your family...... Mio replied with a smile, "Since you're here, let's go inside and rest for a while." ”

Entering the house, there are all kinds of different forms of playing stones on the medicine cabinet and the ground, what thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, Zhaojun out of the plug, Su Wu shepherd, Dapeng spread his wings, the sea and the sky are the same, there are more than 200.

Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, she saw a jade cabbage, ran over, touched it, and couldn't put it down: "Brother Sanxiong, can I give me cabbage?" ”

This is the treasure of Sanxiong's town, and many people have sold tens of thousands of dollars, so he is naturally a little reluctant to give it away. He hesitated: "If you like it, take it." ”

"Brother Sanxiong, you can sell these for money. It's not good for us to take it for nothing, so let's send you 100,000 yuan when I get back. Nishino took out 30,000 cash from his shoulder bag and stuffed it into Michio's palm.

"I said don't give money." Mixiong returned the money and resolutely refused to accept it.

"Hey, if you don't take the money, then we won't take it......" Nishino really didn't care.

"Okay. But it's only 30,000, and I don't want more. Sanxiong collected the money and took out a large paper bag from the medicine cabinet, "Cousin, this is Wild Tianma, which nourishes blood and qi." Send you, no money......"

Nishino picked up a wild gastrodia, pinched it a few times, leaned it to his nose and sniffed it: "Top grade, genuine, how much is a catty?"

"Here it is again, and I said not to give money." Mio was a little upset.

"Okay, okay, then I'll laugh at it." Nishino had no choice but to accept a large bag of wild gastrodia and hand it to Xiaoxiao.

"Sanxiong, have guests from your house?" I don't know when there was an old lady at the door.

Sanxiong hurriedly walked out and helped the old grandmother in: "Grandma, you came just in time, these two relatives of mine want to hear you talk about driving out corpses." ”

"Hello grandma." Xiaoxiao, Nishino smiled and greeted grandma, "Grandma has a high birthday this year?" ”

"I am the twenty-ninth year of Guangxu, and I am one hundred and two years old." The old grandmother is deaf and clear-sighted, and her speech is quite neat, "This life is a rich and noble person, my old woman will nag you a few words." ”

It's rare to meet a centenarian in the world, and I can see it today. She helped the old grandmother to sit down on the edge of the bamboo bed: "Grandma, do you really have the ability to drive out corpses in Montenegro?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes. I've seen it all. It was in the early years of the Republic of China, and I was only eight years old that year...... "The old grandmother suddenly pushed the time to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

In the long years when the highway was impassable, the waterway was the main mode of cargo transportation, and the release and pai men in the mountainous areas often encountered vicious waves and dangerous reefs and died at the bottom of the river. My grandfather was a great wizard and corpse chaser, who specialized in chasing corpses.

That year, our wizard here went to Hongjiang to chase out the corpses. Shi Gong knocked on the wooden fish in front to lead the way, and the corpse followed behind, walking day and night, five days and five nights, when he returned to his hometown, the soles of the corpse's feet had been worn out, and the corpse finally returned to his hometown.

Knowing that Grandpa was coming back with the corpse, a few of my brothers and I hid on the side of the road he was passing by, and saw four or five corpses standing in a row by themselves, with the corpses in the back with their hands on the shoulders of the corpses in front of them, and as soon as Grandpa left, they would follow, and when Grandpa stopped, they stopped. That's incredible, it's amazing.

The wanderer (warrior) dies in a foreign land, and the corpse returns to its hometown, if the journey is too long, it may last for a month. How to ensure that the corpse does not decompose, how to avoid wild dogs not barking or biting along the way, I only know a little bit of the specific details.

There are 36 kinds of skills that the corpse chaser must learn, the first of which is the "standing merit" of the dead body, that is, the first thing is to make the dead body stand up. The second is the "walking exercise", which allows the corpse to stop and walk freely. The third is the "turning skill", which allows the corpse to turn when walking. In addition, there are also "downhill skills", "bridge crossing skills", "dumb dog skills" and so on.

The "Dumb Dog Gong" can make the dogs along the way not bark when they see the corpse. Finally, there is the "Soul Resurrection Skill", the better the Soul Restoration Skill, the more souls of the dead corpse will be returned, and it will be easy to catch up the corpse. This kind of "soul rejuvenation skill" is actually sprinkled on the corpse with a kind of seedling medicine.

"Now, the business of chasing corpses has long since disappeared......," the old woman let out a long sigh.
