Chapter 53: The Curse Returns

Walking through the corpses, we almost crawled past the corpses, and we were able to see the corpses very clearly.

It's the first time I've had such close contact with so many corpses, and I can't help but be speechless, saying that these corpse chasers are really unusual, if this is an ordinary person, let alone leading the corpses forward, I'm afraid I'll be scared to death at a glance, not to mention that the corpses are generally carried out in the middle of the night, and I stay with so many dead people in the middle of the night, if I change to me, even if I give more money, I won't do it.

If it weren't for the corpse chaser in front of us, I'm afraid that even if we ran into the corpse group, we wouldn't have the courage to follow, but fortunately, the corpse chaser didn't seem to have any intention of driving us away, so he let us follow, and he didn't look at us until he walked out of the corpse group.

It was the first time he had looked at us since we met him, but the fog and the darkness of the night prevented me from seeing what he looked like at first glance. Just as I was about to take a closer look, he deliberately pulled down the brim of his hat, and although he was still facing us, half of his face was already covered by his hat, and no matter how I changed the angle, I could only see half of his face in the end.

It made me very depressed, but I wasn't completely unproductive, at least I could tell that he was quite old by seeing the gray beard on his mouth.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in my heart that this is right, this person can control two or three hundred corpses at the same time, if there is a young face under the sackcloth hat, it is a little unreasonable, but if it is a profound elder, it is easier for people to accept, after all, the master is in the world!

The corpses were neatly lined up, the yellow talisman in front of their foreheads covered their purple and blue hideous faces, and a one-person-high white flag was planted in front of the corpses, and a black copper lamp was hanging on the top of the flag. This white flag is the spiritual flag that the Taoist priest told me, which is used to maintain the soul of the dead corpse on the way to the corpse, and the black copper lamp hanging on the conjuring flag is a guiding light, which is designed to guide the way for the undead and dead corpses.

The old man who chased the corpse still didn't talk to us, he walked to the spirit flag, pulled up the soul sail, took out a yellow talisman from the cloth bag and ignited it, and turned the burning talisman paper along the dead corpses in the front row, and suddenly all the corpses moved in unison, as if they had suddenly woken up from their sleep.

This magical scene made me stunned, and at this moment, the old man who drove the corpse suddenly took a step forward, and at the same time, the corpse control bell in the other hand rang, and all the corpses jumped forward in unison, I didn't react for a while, and was immediately kicked to the ground by a corpse behind me, and I screamed in pain.

However, the old man who chased the corpse did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and still hurried forward on his own, and the corpses behind him never stopped. I wanted to pretend to be kicked and hurt and take the opportunity to see what he looked like when the old man came to help me, but the old man completely regarded me as air, and seeing that the corpses were about to step on me, I hurriedly jumped forward and crawled far away before I had time to stand up, not to mention how embarrassed I looked.

Now I was really a little angry, the old man's reaction was so annoying, I followed him closely, while thinking in my heart how to change the current passive situation.

Thinking about it, the sound of the corpse bell in the old man's hand gave me a hint, I touched my chin, and took out the bell given by Luo Yi from my pocket without a trace, and said in my heart Let you set the score, and wait for the bell to ring, I don't believe that you can still be so calm.

Thinking about it, I was about to rattle the bell, but the old man seemed to notice it, and suddenly turned around and grabbed my wrist. The strength of the old man's thin hand was terrifying, even compared to the doctor, and I was caught off guard by his hard wrist, and the severe pain made me reflexively let go of my hand, and the bell immediately fell.

Jingle Bell ......

When the bell touched the bluestone floor, it suddenly made a crisp sound, and before I could understand what was happening, the old man had already let go of my hand and grabbed the black copper lamp on the top of the spirit flag.

Almost at the same time as the bell rang, the old man had already taken off the brass lamp, and then I felt a cool breeze blowing behind me, and I couldn't help shivering, and the doctor on the side suddenly changed his face and shouted at me: "Watch the back, squat down!" ”

I was already aware of it, so I crouched down at the same time as the doctor shouted, and I was kicked in the ass.

The huge force kicked me out a meter or two, and when I covered my ass and looked back, I was shocked to find that the neat group of corpses was all in chaos, and all the yellow talismans attached to their foreheads fell off, and they were jumping around aimlessly, colliding and trampling on each other, and becoming a pot of porridge.

The cold sweat came down in an instant, I knew that I was in trouble now, and I just wanted to ask the old man what to do with the corpse, but I found that he was pinching his handprints, and at the same time there were words in his mouth: "The soul is safe, the soul is safe, and the urgency is like a law, edict." ”

With a loud shout, the old man took a wick from the black copper lamp and shook it quickly in front of the rioting corpses, and a strange scene happened, all the corpses illuminated by the wick in the old man's hand stopped moving, as if they were frozen.

The doctor and I were both shocked by the old man's hand, and looked at it stupidly, until the old man completely disappeared into the misty corpses, I reacted and muttered to myself: "It's amazing, it's amazing, my Shenzhou Qimen magic is really wonderful." ”

The doctor looked at me helplessly, carefully picked up the bell that caused all this from the ground, handed it to me, and said, "We don't know anything about these things, you'd better not mess around, alas, this bell is really not simple, it can interfere with the corpses." ”

I also nodded thoughtfully, "Even if you don't say it, I won't dare to shake it anymore, alas, this old man will not have to pick my skin when he comes back!" ”

The doctor patted me and told me not to worry, then looked thoughtfully into the depths of the fog and said thoughtfully, "Did you notice that he seems to know about the bell?" ”

"Hmmm! That's right, I was going to ring the bell when I was choked by a zombie at the beginning, but it was his shouting that interrupted me, and just now I wanted to secretly rattle the bell to try his reaction, but I didn't expect him to have such a big reaction, which means that he must know the role of the bell. ”

Hearing this, the doctor thought for a while, lowered his voice and said to me: "The bell is extremely crucial in this whole matter, and you will take the initiative to give him the bell later, and see if you can get some clues from him." ”

As soon as I wanted to return to him, I saw a little fire flash in the mist, and I hurriedly shut up, and the next moment, the old man came out of the mist with a wick in his hand, and it was obvious that all the corpses of the riot had been subdued by him. I breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the burning wick between the old man's index and middle fingers, and was very surprised. And this wick is too burned, and it hasn't been extinguished after burning the lamp oil for so long.

Just as I was thinking nonsense, the old man walked straight up to me, slapped me without saying a word, and his slap was surprisingly powerful, and he immediately beat me up. I covered my hot face, just wanted to scold my mother, the doctor hurriedly stepped forward to stop me, and said to the old man: "Old man, just now we were wrong, you beat and beaten, and the anger should be gone, we don't know how powerful this bell is, so we poked out such a big basket, it is inevitable that there will be another incident, and it is better to hand over this bell to your old man for safekeeping." ”

The doctor's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and when he heard it, it seemed that he was admitting his mistake, but as long as he thought about it a little, he could immediately understand the implication of these words: The disaster is indeed our fault, and if you fight it, it will not still embarrass us, right? And we also don't know the origin of the bell, this is the cause of the trouble, since you know the power of the bell, in order for us not to get into trouble because of ignorance, you just tell us about the origin of the bell!

The old man was not young, so it was naturally impossible not to hear the meaning of the doctor's words, so he snorted coldly, and the doctor glanced at me, and I hurriedly handed over the bell in my hand.

It was only then that I finally saw the old man's face clearly, and I was taken aback, and pointed at the old man in horror: "You... You... Unexpectedly, it was you......"

Because of the shock, my hand trembled, the bell in my hand was almost shaken again, the old man frowned, quickly reached out and snatched the copper bell in my hand, and when he saw the true face of the copper bell, his eyes suddenly stared, but looked at me.

At this moment, I was so shocked that I couldn't react at all, and I stuttered at the old man for a long time without saying a word.

I really didn't expect that this mysterious corpse chaser who drove corpses past the door of the inn every night would be him-the old man in the coffin shop.

That's right, it's the old man in the coffin shop who paid for us, the old man who gave us three pieces of advice, the old man who disappeared when we went to visit the second time and didn't know if it was a person or a ghost. Hasn't the damn coffin shop been in ruins for decades? How did he suddenly become a corpse chaser?

Countless questions and puzzles made my shock climb to the extreme at this time, if I could beat him, I would definitely kick him over immediately, and then force him to ask the truth of all this, what we see, which ones are true and which ones are false?

The doctor's doubts were no less than mine, but he was quite calm at this time, just calmly looking at the old man and not speaking, but he estimated that his mood was not much different from mine.

"I know you have doubts in your hearts, but now is not the time to say this, the old man will explain to you later, and before that, we must first solve the trouble you have caused." The old man glanced at the two of us lightly, his eyes seemed to have the magic to see through people's minds, and after saying these words lightly, he took out a thick stack of yellow talismans from the cloth bag and handed it to us, "Quick, paste the talismans, arrange the corpses neatly, it's almost time." ”

Saying that, regardless of our reaction, we went to post the charm on our own.

The doctor and I looked at each other, the doctor sighed, and gave me some of the yellow talismans in his hand, "Let's go, the trouble is you, you should wipe your ass clean, and other things will be talked about later, he can't run away anyway." ”

After saying that, the doctor also walked into the group of corpses and began to paste charms. Things are like this, no matter how urgent I am, I have to wait for the matter to be done, so I suppressed my strong doubts and stepped forward to help.

To tell the truth, the work of sticking the talisman is actually very simple, it stands to reason that the yellow rune paper is dry, the corpse has been treated as if it is special, and the body surface is also dry, and the yellow talisman cannot be pasted out of thin air, but the magic is that whenever I put the talisman in my hand close to the forehead of the corpse, after a certain distance, the forehead of the corpse seems to have suction, and the yellow talisman is adsorbed up, and it is very firm, if it is not pulled hard, it is difficult to get it down.

This phenomenon is very incredible, the doctor is very suspicious, I heard from the Taoist priest about the doorway, so I explained to him while sticking: "There is nothing strange, the corpse contains a lot of yin qi, and most of these yin qi is gathered in the heavenly spirit, the cinnabar on the rune paper is very sensitive to the yin qi, and it will react after feeling the yin qi in the corpse, you can understand that the cinnabar is attracted, and it is automatically adsorbed in the position where the corpse has the most yin qi." ”

After listening to my explanation, the doctor suddenly looked at me in surprise as the old man on the other side of the corpse chaser: "Do you still know this?" ”

Seeing the look of surprise on the old man's face, I finally regained some face, and pretended to be disdainful: "Cut, what's this, I'm a person who has seen corpses and corpses, and these corpses you drive are just the most ordinary zombies." ”

At this moment, the old man's face finally changed completely, and the trace of surprise on his face also turned into shock, "Have you ever seen a corpse, and you actually survived until now??" ”

The old man's reaction made my heart feel refreshed, I had the intention to show off, and just wanted to speak, but the old man's face suddenly changed, he looked at the night sky above his head, and then shouted badly: "Quick, don't be stunned, there's no time, hurry up and finish pasting the talisman, quickly!" ”

I felt very strange, why was I still shocked just now, and in the blink of an eye, I changed my expression again, and subconsciously looked up at the sky and looked, it was okay not to look at it, and I was also taken aback when I saw it. At some point, the clouds that hung over the ancient town had dispersed, and a huge crescent moon hung high in the night sky, but strangely, the moon turned out to be a terrible green.

Green, Demon Moon?

I immediately remembered the night the car broke down in Ajicun, and the moon I saw that night was also a strange green. When my curse had not yet been suppressed, the taboo of not seeing the moon once again came to mind, I subconsciously lifted my sleeve to take a look, and suddenly my whole body was cold, only to see that the black lines on my arms that had become tattoos showed signs of recovery at this time, and there were constantly small black gas filaments converging from all directions, and a little bit of it was submerged in the black lines.

I froze suddenly, and the yellow talisman in my hand was scattered all over the ground, and at this time, the doctor and the old man had already pasted all the corpses with the talisman, and when they saw that I was still standing stupidly, the two of them immediately walked over. The moment the old man saw the strange situation on my arm, his face suddenly became shocked, even more shocked than when he found the green demon moon.
