Late at night, the crescent moon is weak and the stars are dotted.

Yan Xiaoying's body has not yet recovered, the valley is dark and dark, and there is no lighting tools, so it is inevitable to stumble.

Eventually, she couldn't hold on any longer and got back on my back.

Her personality is sometimes like this, she is very reckless, and even if she is seriously injured, she insists on walking on her own.

Such a Yan Xiaoying looks helpless and heart-wrenching.

Naturally, I won't make fun of her for this, because with the lesson I learned last time, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Sometimes, your unintentional joke is intended to liven up the atmosphere, but the speaker has no intention of listening to it.

As the old saying goes: Trouble comes from the mouth, and the wise who are silent.

“…… The second master was tracking the camel, and since he was deep in the valley, it means that the latter may also be in it. If Tianyan encounters a camel later, you can put me down and leave me alone. The other party is a coffin bearer, with infinite strength, and must not be careless, and the two of them have a chance of winning against each other. ”

Yan Xiaoying lay on my back, panting and reminding.

"Understood."

I nodded, and while carrying her towards the deep valley, I asked curiously: "Xiaoying, do you say that in addition to the infinite strength, there is anything else special about the coffin bearer?" ”

"The coffin bearer is not far from our coffin maker, if it is inherited by the family, I am afraid there will be some secret method, right? After all, in the world, Yin people, every faction has something special, and it can't be underestimated. It's only the Taoist sect who is upright and doesn't take us seriously......"

She paused, and then said: "But you don't have to worry about this, when I transferred from the village before, when I and the second master went to Centipede Ridge to find you, I asked the second master in detail about the details of the camel." ”

"The second master lives next to him, and they are people of the same generation as each other, so they know each other best."

"Second master, what did he say?" I asked.

Yan Xiaoying told me that the reason why the camel became a coffin bearer was not by family inheritance or by the inheritance of the master, but because he became a coffin bearer halfway.

When the camel and the second master's generation were young, life was very difficult, and it was good to have a meal to eat, not to mention heavy rain and meat, which was simply a luxury for ordinary people.

At that time, the society used the sentence "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!" That's the best way to describe it.

In fact, in our rural areas, we call that period the "landlord era", there is land and land is the uncle, is the landlord's old wealth, especially in the remote areas, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the landlord is like the existence of the soil emperor.

And the common people, such as slaves, did not make any difference.

It was against this background that the camel's parents died of exhaustion in the field. At that time, the camel was still young, only in his twenties, and ran away from home because he couldn't stand the bullying and oppression.

Later, one night, tired and hungry, he lay down in a righteous village and starved to death like his parents.

At that moment, outside Yizhuang, a person suddenly appeared, who was wearing a yellow Taoist robe, carrying a corpse that had been killed by bandits and abandoned on the side of the road and returned to Yizhuang.

When the Taoist priest saw the camel cowering in the corner and dying, he ignored it at first.

After a few hours, the Taoist priest saw that the camel seemed to be really bad, so he took out a piece of hard corn cake from his robe and threw it in front of the latter, and said lightly: "I think you are pitiful, follow me in the future and give me a hand." Follow this way, you will not be rich and expensive, but you will have no worries about food and clothing. ”

The camel ate the corn cake, regained some strength, looked at the Taoist priest in front of him curiously, and asked who he was?

The yellow-robed Taoist priest smiled, and immediately revealed an identity......

It turned out that this person was originally a disciple of Maoshan Daomen, but later due to the disaster of war, the sect was affected, and the disciples of Maoshan Dao were scattered and scattered, and there were few who survived, which can be described as a real existence.

The yellow-robed Taoist priest called himself the seventh uncle, and he went to the land of Xiangxi, because there were many wicked people who killed people and sold goods in Xiangxi. Many merchants prepared to build Yizhuang in the deep mountains and dense forests, and asked Taoist priests to guard them, take in the corpses of people who died in foreign lands, and let Taoist priests keep the corpses from decaying with secret methods, and transport them back to their hometowns.

This is one of the fundamental reasons for the birth of the corpse chaser in Xiangxi.

And the yellow-robed Taoist priest who called himself the Seventh Uncle was doing this kind of business in Hunan at that time, that is, he was a corpse chaser!

Since then, the camel has followed the seventh uncle to guard Yizhuang, and the latter wants to worship the seventh uncle as a teacher and learn Taoist techniques. But the seventh uncle saw that the camel was withdrawn, extreme, and ruthless, and was unwilling to accept him as an apprentice.

Usually, Uncle Seven only let the camel go out to carry the body of the victim back to Yizhuang and teach him the method of embalming the corpse.

In fact, the method of embalming corpses at that time was very simple, and the most used was arsenic, which was first used to smear the whole body of the corpse, and then poured into the mouth of the corpse to achieve the antiseptic effect.

After applying arsenic, the corpse becomes more rigid and worse, so it is called a zombie, and it is rumored that zombies are invulnerable, but in fact it is an exaggeration.

As for driving the corpse back to his hometown, the seventh uncle never let the camel follow, only let him guard Yizhuang.

Therefore, even if the camel has followed Uncle Seven for five years, he has not learned the rumored strange method of the corpse chaser to drive away the corpse with secret techniques, so he naturally cannot become a corpse chaser.

Then one day, the camel carried back a young female corpse from outside, and the female corpse had just died, and when the camel was applying arsenic to it, he suddenly had evil thoughts and did something wrong.

At that time, the seventh uncle drove the corpse back, and happened to see the unbearable scene of the camel on the female corpse, the former was furious and punished him heavily, if it wasn't for the seventh uncle's gratitude that the camel had followed him for many years, he would have broken his hands and feet.

Even so, Uncle Seven didn't dare to leave the camel by his side anymore and drive it away.

After leaving the seventh uncle, the camel returned to the village, because of the previous experience of carrying corpses, although he did not learn the skills of Maoshan Taoist, but he practiced a brave body, and teamed up with the other three people in the village to carry the coffin for a living.

In the past few decades, he himself can be regarded as keeping to himself, and used the money earned from carrying the coffin to marry his daughter-in-law and start a family, but unfortunately, he failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter, and finally the camel couple adopted Xiaoling to comfort the second half of their lives......

After listening to Yan Xiaoying's words, I muttered: "According to what you say, although that camel has a strange personality, he is forced by life. It wasn't easy for him to survive in that environment. ”

"Yes! However, people always have many choices, and each choice has a great impact on the rest of life. When the camel followed the seventh uncle, if he could suppress the evil thoughts in his heart...... Maybe in a few years, when Uncle Seven sees him working hard, maybe he will accept him as a closed disciple. ”

Human nature is inherently good...... In fact, many wicked people, the bad things he does are forced to do them, or in other words, it is the society and life that create them.

People often say: a poor person must have something to hate, never thought that on the contrary, in fact, a hateful person must have been a poor person.

I shook my head and said, "In this way, the camel has learned from the past, and he did this kind of thing to his adopted daughter......"

Remembering the tragic situation of seeing Xiaoling under the stone bridge, I couldn't help but sigh, and the following words were not spoken.

"There are some things that can't be tried easily, just like smoking, drug gambling, with the first time, there will be a second time, a third time...... By the time we understand the dangers, it's already too late, and the best way to put an end to this kind of thing is not to have the first time. Just like a camel, it is precisely because he couldn't control his desires that he is here today. Now he has embarked on a fork in the road, a fork in the road with no turning back! ”

"Perhaps...... What I wonder is that when the camel left the village, why did the second master still know so clearly about his affairs? ”

"I was very puzzled by this question at first, but then the second master explained it to me, and it suddenly dawned on me."

Yan Xiaoying paused and said, "You may not know, but in fact, the second master used to be the disciple of that Maoshan Taoist priest......

"What? You said that the second master is a Taoist priest of Maoshan? I was surprised.

"Yes and no, the Murmur Dharma gathers the directors of hundreds of schools and has its own faction, as far as I know, the second master is not just a master...... Uncle Seven is just one of his masters. Do you think, if the second master doesn't worship the Daomen, how can he understand the techniques of the Daomen? ”

I thought about it carefully, and felt that what Yan Xiaoying said was indeed reasonable, and muttered: "It seems that I still underestimated the second master's ability......"

"Not only the second master, but also the camels, they are also brothers in the same sect. Although the camel did not officially become a disciple of Maoshan, no one can say for sure, in the years he followed the Maoshan Taoist, did he secretly learn some secret techniques...... Moreover...... According to the second master, the latter disappeared for a period of time after being driven away by the Taoist priest of Maoshan...... During that time, no one knew where he went or what he did. ”

"But...... He doesn't have an authentic coffin bearer heritage, so it shouldn't be so terrifying...... But we can't be careless......"

I nodded to Yan Xiaoying and said, "You women are still careful, and you have found out the details of the camel early in the morning, if it were me, I wouldn't think so much." ”

In response to my compliment, Yan Xiaoying snorted coldly and said lightly: "Look at the road well, don't fall old lady." ”

"It's really strange to say, my eyesight seems to have really become stronger, and in this environment, I can actually see things faintly!"

"That's nature, blood ginseng is an extremely precious elixir, rarer than the spirit baby fruit left to you by your grandfather, and the mountain god Niangniang left a whole plant for you. If you don't make any progress after taking it, won't she be disappointed when she sees it in the future? Yan Xiaoying said coldly.

I was silent in my heart, I don't know why, this time I escaped death, after Yan Xiaoying woke up, her attitude towards me was not as friendly as before, and she was angry at every turn.

So much so that sometimes when I try to follow her words and pat her ass, I will slap the horse's legs.

I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, or what was wrong about me.

Maybe women are born like this...... Yan Xiaoying is like this, I used to be like this when I was with Yuting, it's better to be Jingmei, at least she won't get angry at every turn, which makes people confused.

……

In between words, we walked a few hundred meters deeper into the deep valley, and the deeper we went, the more difficult the road became. And the deep valley is getting bigger and bigger, if it weren't for the fact that he could still see the traces of the person walking in front of him in the dark night, it is estimated that he would be dizzy by now, and he would not be able to find the direction in which Kong Ming's lantern appeared just now.

The valley in front of us began to slope upward, and there were fewer wild grasses, but more hideous stones, which seemed to have been rolled down from the mountain......

I can estimate the distance, I saw the reverse of the Kong Ming lantern before, it should be near this place.

But Yan Xiaoying and I looked around, but we didn't see any figures, and even the traces of the grass path we had been following before had disappeared here......

There was silence all around, except for the sound of the mountain stream flowing, the rustle of the grass as the wind blows, and the sound of my heavy breathing, and nothing else could be heard.
