Chapter 557: Corpse Chase Dog

Even so, the white-haired zombie was not even dead, and after rolling on the ground a few times in pain, it continued to prop itself up, screaming and pounced on the amorous monster.

But it was obviously hit hard, and its steps were unsteady, but the anger in its blood-red eyes was unabated. Taking this opportunity, Tang Hongying, who fell to the ground, got up again, waved the mountain knife in his hand, and fought side by side with Duoqing.

Naturally, I couldn't sit idle, so I quickly joined the fight. The two white-haired zombies still had some advantages when besieging Tang Hongying, but at this moment, we were fighting in three people, and the tide of the battle quickly reversed.

My strange sword glowed black and red, and in an instant, I slashed at a zombie's arm, slicing off most of my shoulder. The zombie's body staggered, but he didn't know the pain, and staggered and continued to attack.

The strange thing is that one of them rushed towards Tang Hongying, and the other pounced on Duoqing, just not attacking me, as if they hadn't discovered me at all.

I was puzzled, but I didn't have the heart to think about why at the moment, and I was about to continue the attack, but I saw a white shadow in front of the two zombies in an instant, it was Xiao Hei!

Under the light of the ghost shark scales, Xiao Heisi was unintimidated, jumped to the middle of the battle, blocked in front of Amorous and Tang Hongying, and kept making loud dog barks in his mouth, which meant that he wanted to fight with the two zombies.

I secretly screamed that it was not good, after all, Xiao Hei is a small earth dog with a body length of no more than half a meter, and no matter how brave it is, it is impossible to match the two zombies.

Moreover, these two guys have been hit hard and have not died, and they are as powerful as oxen, which is obviously beyond the scope of ordinary hair stiffness, if Xiao Hei is caught, it will not be torn in half.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, with Xiao Hei's loud cry, the bodies of the two white-haired zombies who were originally swooping frantically swooped down, as if they were restrained by an invisible gravitational force.

In less than a moment, he froze in place, swaying back and forth like two pieces of rotten wood, his mouth kept making a "whirring" gasp, and the evil qi in his two eyes quickly dissipated and gradually calmed down.

Xiao Hei jumped forward, his mouth continued to bark, and the two white-haired zombies turned around in unison, turned their backs to us, and jumped backwards, and soon jumped out more than ten meters under Xiao Hei's drive, and then stayed where they were.

Xiao Hei's sudden ability made me look at Tang Hongying and Amorous face-to-face, and it felt like I was in a dream.

After driving the two white-haired zombies away, Xiao Hei ran back, rubbing his head against my calf and wagging his tail as if to invite merit.

I touched the little one's head, and I couldn't figure out how it did it. It's true that zombies are more afraid of black dog blood, but they are not afraid of black dogs, not to mention that Xiao Hei is just a black dog with white hair.

Even if they are afraid of the little black, they will never obey the command of a black dog, as if they are following the orders of their master.

Tang Hongying also squatted down and stroked Xiao Hei's fur. Xiao Hei tilted his head to look at her, as if he was a little reluctant, always hiding. Tang Hongying looked Xiao Hei up and down, her expression was a little suspicious, and she turned her head to ask me.

"Nine Heroes, your puppy is a corpse dog?"

Corpse chaser? What is a corpse chaser? I'm a little baffled. looked at the amorous, and the stammering monk was also confused, not knowing why.

Tang Hongying stood up, and through her explanation, we understood what the so-called corpse dog meant.

Tang Hongying said that this corpse dog, as the name suggests, is a special kind of dog raised by corpse chasers. Love Literature Network

It is said that in ancient times, because there was a tradition of returning to the roots of fallen leaves and dying to the ancestors, and there were many poor families, so people who died in other places could not afford to pay the fare for transporting the corpses, and if they wanted to bury the corpses in their ancestral graves, they had to entrust the help of the corpse chasers.

This is the reason why the art of exorcism of corpses flourished.

The corpse expulsion technique is one of the three evils in Xiangxi, and it is a secret technique that is not passed on, and it is a partial cultivator, and there are naturally a lot of five disadvantages and three shortcomings, so it has always been full of mystery.

To put it simply, the dead are refined into zombies through secret arts, and driven by corpse chasers, they walk all the way back to their hometown. Although the corpse exorcism does exist, it is gradually rumored to be miraculous and unpredictable under the continuous rendering of the market.

I remembered that Master said that there are many taboos and exquisiteness in the corpse.

For example, these corpses that have been driven back to their hometowns must be tied up with thick ropes soaked in glutinous rice water or ink, and a special yellow charm must be pasted on the door of the head, in order to suppress the corpses and prevent the zombies from hurting and going crazy during transportation.

And because the transport was all dead, the journey could only be done at night, and it could not rain. During the day, you can't stay at the inn, but you have to go to a specially set location, which was called "Corpse Station" in ancient times.

To be honest, I don't know much about corpse exorcism.

In addition to what the master told me, the rest was mentioned in the casual chat of the bodyguard named Lao Jiang in the Dragon Manor in the island city. But these are all common people, and the possibility of legend is far greater than the truth.

Tang Hongying told us that the influence of spirits on zombies is very great, and driving corpses to travel at night is the top priority for guarding against these evil things.

On the way to the dead, the corpse chaser will shake the soul bell in front of the way to disperse the lonely ghosts and spirits in the wilderness and old forests and remote roads, and in the back, a specially trained dog will lead the zombie team forward.

This dog is the so-called corpse chaser.

But no one knows what breed of dog it is and how it should be trained. But think about it, if everything can be known to the outside world, the art of chasing corpses will not become a secret art.

Tang Hongying's statement opened my eyes, but after all, she is a member of Nafutang, so I naturally won't tell the whole story of the process of meeting Xiao Hei. Just snorted haha, saying that this puppy was just what we met on the road, but my heart was turbulent.

Judging from the situation just now, Xiao Hei has the ability to deter and command white-haired zombies, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a corpse chaser. But who exactly trained this little guy? Is it the one buried in the grave, its owner?

Thinking back to the scene when he met Xiao Hei at that time, the tomb he guarded was definitely not a new tomb, but a long time ago, at least a few decades, and it had been completely weathered.

If it was really its owner buried inside, how could a dog live so long?

After we drove away the leopard, Hei dug out a black bead from the grave and gave it to me. What exactly is this black bead?

If the person buried in the grave is really a corpse chaser, could it be said that this black bead is the legendary corpse pill?!

I touched the round bead in my pocket, and remembered the white-haired zombie who had just turned a blind eye to me, and would not attack me even if an arm was cut off by a strange sword.

It's like just grasping a thread in a mess, but you can't figure it out......
