Chapter 165: The Legend of the Dead (Part II)

(a)

Everyone was frightened by Hei San'er's bizarre experience, and they couldn't guard Changfeng's shout, which startled everyone in the room, and Wei Changfeng's father scolded: "What are you calling nonsense!" ”

Wei Changfeng was already frightened by the situation on Hei San'er's waist and couldn't speak, he only pointed to the wound on Hei San'er's waist, Hei San'er was a little inexplicable, the wound was near the middle of the lower back, he couldn't see it himself, so he had to touch it with his hands, who knew that when he touched it, his hands were all in the body, and when he took it out again, he had already pulled out a bunch of rotten meat like cotton wool, and there were still a few maggots wriggling in the meat.

Hei San'er's face was full of surprise, he stared at the rotten meat in his hand for a moment, and suddenly screamed: "It turns out that I am already dead!" ”

With this scream, Hei San'er fell straight to the ground and never woke up again.

Wei Changfeng won't talk about it anymore because Song Tian'er has hugged Wei Changfeng's arm tightly in fright, and her body is trembling.

Wei Changfeng smiled, patted Song Tian'er gently, and said with a smile: "You are a cultivator, are you still afraid of this?" ”

Song Tian'er sat up slightly straighter and pouted: "I've only been cultivating for a few years, besides, it's too terrible." Brother Wei, you deliberately made up this story to scare me, right? ”

Wei Changfeng shook his head: "No, it's true. Later, I also inquired, in fact, there are some things, I really can't tell what it is. It is said that after death, some strange things do happen. This kind of walking dead is actually possible. ”

Song Tian'er shook her head again and again: "When I was fighting, so many people died every day, if they were all like this, why didn't many people see them?" ”

Wei Changfeng smiled: "This is very particular. Do you know where the corpses come from? ”

He knew that Song Tian'er definitely didn't understand, so he didn't wait for Song Tian'er to answer and continued.

Driving out corpses, according to legend, started from the Miao people. Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the ancestor of the Miao people, Chi You, led his troops to fight against the enemy by the Yellow River, until the corpses were all over the field and the blood flowed like a river.

After the battle was about to retreat to the rear, and after the soldiers carried the wounded soldiers away, Chi You said to the military advisors around him: "We can't leave the brothers who died here alone, how about you use some magic to let these good brothers return to their hometowns?" The advisor said, "All right." You and I change our costumes, you use the 'runes' to lead the way in front, and I supervise in the back. ”

So the military advisor disguised himself as Chiyou, stood among the corpses of the brothers who had died in battle, and after a burst of silent recitation of mantras and prayers to the gods, he shouted to the corpses: "Brothers who have died, this is not a place for you to settle down, and it is a sad mourning that you have died in vain." The parents in their hometown are looking forward to it, and their wives and young sons are looking forward to returning to their hometowns. Don't hesitate. Haste as a law, up! The corpses that were originally lying on the ground all stood up at once, and followed Chi You Gaoqing's "Fu Jie" and walked south in an orderly manner.

In fact, the earliest corpses were originally only driven to the corpses that died on the battlefield, and it was only later that various corpses appeared. But not every corpse can be rushed, and there is a saying of "three rushes, three don't rush".

Those who were beheaded, those who were hanged, and those who stood in cages and died, were to be driven out. The reason is that they are all forced to die, they are not convinced, they miss their hometown and their relatives, they can use spells to hook their souls, use charms to calm their corpses, and then use spells to drive them to climb mountains and mountains, and even get on a boat and cross the water to return to their hometown.

Those who die of illness, those who die voluntarily by hanging their necks by throwing themselves into the river, and those whose limbs are incomplete by thunder and fire cannot be rushed. Among them, the souls of those who died of illness have been hooked by Hades, and spells cannot summon their souls back from the ghost gate; And the souls of those who throw themselves into the river are "replaced", and they may be in the process of handing over, if the new soul is recruited, the old soul cannot be replaced, will it not affect the reincarnation of the old soul? In addition, those who died from the thunder were all guilty people, and those who were burned by the fire were often incomplete in their flesh and skin, and these two types of corpses could not be driven away either.

Even if it is a corpse that can be rushed, the corpse may not meet the requirements. It is said that in the mountainous areas of Xiangxi, when a foreigner died there, his relatives and friends went to hire a mage to drive the corpse back to his hometown.

When the mage came to the place where the mortuary was held, he first checked the birth date and death taboo of the deceased to see if there was any chongke, and then he recited a mantra next to the corpse, muttering a mantra in his mouth for a while, and suddenly, he put the mahogany sword in his hand and forcefully inserted it into the wooden board where the corpse was parked.

If the peachwood sword comes in hand, it means that the corpse is willing to accept the mage's orders, and the mage is willing to accept the offer to drive the corpse. However, if the peachwood sword repeatedly failed to penetrate or suddenly broke, the mage immediately turned around and walked away, because it meant that the corpse would not obey his orders, and it was likely that something would happen on the way, so even if the price was higher, the mage would not agree to drive the corpse away.

Therefore, to drive out the corpse, there must be someone with enough mana to drive it, and the corpse must be suitable, only in this way can we afford to catch up. Hei San'er said that Mao Laodao touched the corpses one by one with a peachwood sword on the battlefield, just to test whether the corpses could be rushed.

(2) As for Hei San'er, in fact, he has an immortal soul and has been thinking about his mother at home, so he is suitable to catch up, but his soul is very longing, and he does not know about his death, but thinks that he is a living person in the corpse team. This is the reason why Mao Laodao and Orion checked the corpse team and found no difference between Hei San'er, because Hei San'er was a dead person, what was the difference?

Because of this, Hei San'er was manipulated by the soul rope and the soul bell, no different from other dead people, and he also had a strong corpse odor on his body, all because he was a dead man, no different from other dead people. It's just that after the worst, his resentment caused him to have a corpse change, and he escaped from the corpse field by himself, all the way over the mountains and mountains, and finally returned home.

Song Tian'er was both interested and scared when she heard this, and sighed: "This big brother Hei San'er is actually a filial son. ”

Wei Changfeng also nodded and said, "Yes." Loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, these great righteousness sometimes produce amazing things that go against heaven and earth. ”

Song Tian'er couldn't help but think of the Fengqi Daoist again, and asked softly: "Brother Wei, do you say that the Fengqi Daoist is considered a righteous person?" ”

Wei Changfeng nodded heavily: "Count." A promise of gold, the courage to die, this righteousness is high, shaking the heavens and the earth. ”

Song Tianer wanted to say something, but she wanted to say something. Wei Changfeng knew that Song Tian'er was still struggling with the question of whether Feng Qi Dao Chang would also come back from the dead, but this question was too childish, so he didn't want to talk about it, but he thought of his mother in his heart.

Although Hei San'er died and returned home, he himself, although he was alive and well, was thousands of miles away from home, and he didn't know when it would be his return.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the tent, and a guard came to report: "There is a group of people outside the camp who ask to see General Wei!" ”

Song Tian'er screamed, jumped up suddenly, and pulled Wei Changfeng and shouted: "It's Feng Qi Dao Chief, he's coming to you, let's run!" ”

The guard who came in to report was startled, didn't know what was going on, and looked at Wei Changfeng anxiously.

Wei Changfeng patted Song Tian'er first to appease, and his heart was also strange, I don't know if any Taoist will come to him. In fact, even if the wind rises and the Taoist comes to him, he is not afraid, a wind rises when he is born righteous, how can he turn into a demon after death? The second is that the Tai'a sword in his hand is still there, why be afraid of ghosts and gods? It's just that the guard reported that a Taoist came to him, but he didn't say that it was the head of the Fengqi Dao.

He said to the guards, "Please come in." ”

The guards went out to invite someone, Song Tian'er grabbed Wei Changfeng's hand and shook it again and again, begging: "Let's not vomit with the dead, just avoid it." ”

Wei Changfeng couldn't help but laugh and comforted: "Don't worry, I have a way to restrain the zombies." I will also recite the mantra of suppressing ghosts and being as urgent as the law. ”

Song Tian'er knew that Wei Changfeng was nonsense, how could she rest assured, and hurriedly said: "How can zombies be controlled casually?" Brother Wei, don't brag. But she saw that Wei Changfeng had no intention of avoiding it at all, so she had to reach out and grab the broom standing on the side, and said in her mouth: "As soon as the zombie comes, I will beat him, you have to run quickly!" ”

Wei Changfeng was moved and amused, and was about to say another word of comfort, but he heard someone at the tent door say strangely: "What zombie?" Then the curtain was lifted, and a Taoist walked in.

Song Tian'er was holding a broom in her hand, and was about to make a move, when she saw the face of the person, this time it was more terrifying than seeing a zombie, and shouted: "Master! ”

It turned out that the person who came was none other than Song Tianer's master Sun Daochang.

Seeing that Song Tian'er was also there, Sun Daochang's face sank, snorted, and said coldly: "You still remember me, the master, what are you doing with a broom?" Do you want to be a teacher? ”

Song Tian'er's face was flushed, and she stammered: "No, I, I thought it was stiff, stiff ......"

Wei Changfeng couldn't hold back a smile and hurriedly let Sun Daochang into the tent.

Sun Daochang did not sit down in a hurry, but said to Wei Changfeng: "General Wei should know the intention of the old Dao." ”

Wei Changfeng nodded.

Of course he guessed. Song Tian'er left the mountains without permission to follow Wei Chang'er all the way, Sun Daochang's master-apprentice love was deep, how could he not worry, so he also left the mountains and came here, I was afraid that he would take Song Tian'er back. This is actually a good thing for Wei Changfeng, otherwise he would be really embarrassed to worry about Song Tian'er all the time.

Song Tian'er quietly put down the broom on the side and poured the tea lightly, but she didn't dare to bring it over, and she glared at Wei Changfeng on the side.

Wei Changfeng said with a smile: "The Taoist is here, don't worry, please sit down first and rest for a while." ”

Sun Daochang snorted, glanced at Song Tian'er, and then sat down.

Song Tian'er brought the tea, and immediately stepped aside and stood with her hands down, lowering her head and not daring to look at Sun Daochang.

Sun Daochang seemed to be very anxious in his heart, and he didn't mention Fang Cai's words politely to Wei Changfeng at all: "My disobedient apprentice has caused a lot of trouble to General Wei in this paragraph." The old Tao is incompetent, he will not educate his apprentices, and he asks for forgiveness. ”

Song Tian'er heard what the master said, her eyes turned red, and her mouth pursed again, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Wei Changfeng hurriedly shook his head and said: "Dao Chang is polite, Tian'er actually helped us a lot, if it wasn't for Tian'er who gave us the raft construction map, we wouldn't have been able to fight in time, Tian'er actually made a great contribution." ”
