Chapter Eighty-Four: The Corpse

There was no movement in Master Yuantong's house, I thought that the fifth chief would continue to shout, but no, he just stood quietly outside the door and waited for a few minutes, suddenly, the curtain of the door of the wooden house was lifted, and a round rosary flew out, which happened to be taken in the hand of the fifth leader.

"Bald donkey, thank you!" After the fifth leader raised his hand to catch the prayer bead, he put it in his sleeve without looking.

"Ah Guang, are you going to have a cave with that woman's corpse, and don't let me die yet!"

"Come on, master......" As soon as the fifth chief's displeased shout fell, Ah Guang immediately rushed out, and he didn't know what he was doing for so long.

Seeing his master's solemn demeanor, Ah Guang was a little puzzled, and asked, "Master, I haven't seen you dressed so solemnly for a long time, where are we going, are you going to a banquet?" ”

The fifth chief glared at him, and snorted coldly: "Eat the feast, hum, I will definitely let you eat later, take it, and follow me!" ”

With that, the fifth leader threw a heavy cloth bag printed with gossip patterns in his hand to Ah Guang, and he himself walked out first with his sword.

I watched this scene, and when I was a little puzzled, the fifth Dao Chief, who had only walked out a few steps, suddenly paused, seemed to remember something, and said to me: "You can go with you, we are not here, no one takes care of you!" ”

I was stunned, and was about to say that I didn't need anyone to take care of me, but the fifth leader didn't give me a chance to shirk at all, he just seemed to have just read out an order, and then left without looking back.

I said in my heart what is going on, this old Taoist priest is also domineering! Ah Guang came to my side at this time, patted me, and said with a smile: "Brother reporter, don't worry, the master will take you there, this is a good thing!" ”

"A good thing?" I was stunned and looked at him with some puzzlement.

Ah Guang didn't rush to explain, he urged me and said, "Let's talk as we go, if we continue to grind, we won't be able to catch up!" ”

I saw that the fifth chief had indeed gone far away, and he was about to reach the end of the path, so he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly chased after Ah Guang.

It was only at the end of the path that I realized that there was a wide dirt road outside the valley, and after catching up with the fifth long, I lowered my voice and asked Ah Guang what he meant by what he had just said.

Ah Guang also seemed to be very afraid of his master, and deliberately widened the distance between us and the fifth chief, and then whispered to me: "Reporter, do you know, Master and his old man are very prestigious and famous in this place, especially in Tianguan Town, the rich people in the town will ask Master to show him whenever there is a disaster, every time Master dresses so formally, someone invites him, as long as he goes, there will definitely be a good banquet to eat." ”

I was a little speechless, and said in my heart that this was the case, no wonder Ah Guang was so excited after hearing that he was going out, and he felt that he was going to eat and drink!

I patted Ah Guang and asked a little puzzled: "Ah Guang, does the Taoist often give people things?" ”

The reason why I ask this is because there are not many Taoist priests in these years who have real materials, and those guys who use the signs of feng shui metaphysics masters to publish books and make money are probably not even at the level of Mr. In these years, the real masters are all hidden, and it is impossible for them to lose their identity for a little profit.

I'm not particularly sure how powerful the fifth Dao chief is, but judging from the kind of aura on his body that is more advanced than Maoshan Yuxu and Yuqingzhen, he is at least a bigwig-level figure, which can also be glimpsed from the fact that he killed the female corpse with a sword just now.

How can a character like him run for money among the rich, and he is just a rich man in a small town whose name I have never heard of, even if this town is awesome, it is impossible for a bigwig-level character to be like this, this is a little unreasonable!

Ah Guang sighed and said to me: "That's not it, a few years ago, there were wars everywhere, and the more people died, the more disasters they bred, and the more people who asked the master to eliminate disasters and solve problems, but since the beginning of this year, our business has decreased!" ”

"War?" I wondered, thinking that I had heard it wrong, how could there be a war in this peaceful and prosperous world?

"That's right, war, the revolutionary party is fighting for independence everywhere, there is war everywhere!"

"You'll be ...... later," I stopped him, feeling my mind a little messy, and I had a vague feeling that something very bad was going to happen.

Ah Guang was also surprised when he saw me like this, and thought that my wound had cracked, so I waved my hand, took a deep breath, and asked tentatively: "Ah Guang, this year...... What year is it? ”

"This year? Renzi Nian, why are you asking this all of a sudden? ”

"I'm asking...... Which dynasty is this year? ”

Ah Guang's expression became even more suspicious, "Brother reporter, shouldn't you hit your head, stupid, this year is a new era of changing the dynasty, the first year of the Republic of China, you don't even know this?" ”

My brain buzzed suddenly, and I suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and I was almost unsteady on my feet, but fortunately, Ah Guang helped me in time.

"Hey, hey, you don't matter, reporter, right?"

I ignored him, and still confirmed to him with some disbelief: "In the first year of the Republic of China, which Republic of China?" Is this year 1912? ”

"Yes"

I shook my head vigorously, no longer suspicious, and a sense of absurdity rose in my heart. What a fucking dog, in 1912, I went back to 1912, and the legendary time-traveling happened to me, who can tell me what the hell is going on?

Seeing that my face was not good, Ah Guang asked me if I was uncomfortable, if I couldn't walk, he could carry me, and when I got to the town, I could go to the doctor, and he said that there was a Western medicine in the town, which was very advanced.

I didn't know how to explain this to Ah Guang, so I told him that I was fine, but by now my mind was already a mess.

Ah Guang smiled and said to me: "Brother reporter, when I first found out about you, I saw that you were dressed unusually, and I thought you were the same as those rich daughters in the town who came back from studying abroad, but I didn't expect you to even know that it is now the Republic of China, and it seems that you usually don't pay much attention to things outside!" ”

Listening to Ah Guang's words, I smiled bitterly in my heart, I finally knew why such a shrewd person as him was so enthusiastic about me, a guy of unknown origin, and his feelings were to treat me as a foreign student, but he was quite real, and he didn't change his attitude towards me because of my identity, which made me feel more good about him.

After thinking about it, I decided not to tell him my true origin for the time being, because I had no idea how I came to this age, the cause and effect involved were unknown, and even if I explained it, he probably wouldn't believe such a ridiculous thing, and it might be better not to say it.

We talked as we walked, and gradually, Ah Guang's face began to show suspicion.

I didn't know what Ah Guang had noticed, and just wanted to ask him what was wrong, but he had already opened his mouth and asked the fifth chief, "Master, this is not the right way, you are on the wrong path, right?" ”

The fifth long did not stop, turned to look at us, and suddenly showed a chilling and weird smile at us: "Wrong? Who said it was wrong? ”

Ah Guang and I shivered at the same time, both felt a little chill in our backs, Ah Guang stubbornly continued: "Master, I have walked this road many times, this is not the way to the town, if you go down, you will go to the mass grave on the Guillotine Slope!" ”

The fifth chief snorted coldly, and said in a flat tone: "Town? Whoever said he was going to the town, the teacher was going to the mass grave! ”

"Ah......" Ah Guang opened his mouth wide, looking incredulous, "Master, how can you be like this, didn't you just say that you took me to the banquet, why did you go to the mass grave, I think you threw me into the mass grave to practice courage, but the apprentice almost lost his life, what are we going to do there?" ”

Ah Guang's expression was so depressed that he was about to cry, and my heart skipped a beat when I heard it, and a bad feeling surged in my heart.

The Fifth Governor didn't talk to us again this time, he slowed down, told us to follow, and then explained the matter in general.

Here's the thing, the fifth chief received a job entrusted by a wealthy merchant in the town who was in the jewelry business half a month ago, and he needed to send the old father of the rich merchant who died in Linprovince back to Tianguan Town for burial.

The jewelry merchant did a lot of business, for the sake of business, in the early years of the family moved to the province, the merchant's father before his death asked the fallen leaves to return to their roots, must be buried back to their hometown Tianguan Town, and cremation was very taboo at that time, coupled with the inconvenience of transportation, transporting the body became the biggest problem.

So the jewelry merchant thought of the corpse chaser, so he asked someone to find the fifth chief, who was the most famous in the local area, and paid a lot of money, so he invited the fifth chief.

Of course, this part of the matter is what Ah Guang talked to me about before, and the really key part is what the fifth leader talked about with us.

After taking over the business, the fifth chief immediately set off to pick up the corpse, and the process during the period was very smooth, and the fifth chief arrived in Tianguan Town with the corpse today.

Because it is necessary to avoid sunlight and people to chase out corpses, they all rest during the day and rush at night, and they all walk on sparsely populated mountain roads, so it was already five o'clock in the morning when the fifth chief returned to Tianguan Town.

According to the agreement, the employer should have already set up a mourning hall to sacrifice, waiting to welcome the ancestors home, and the fifth chief only needs to drive the body to the deceased's house to deliver it, and this trip will be considered a successful end, but who would have thought that not long after the corpse entered the town, something happened!

This kind of ordinary corpse chasing work is naturally not a problem for a big guy like the fifth chief, I heard Ah Guang say that the fifth chief used to chase the murderous corpse after the corpse turned into blood like a kitten, and an ordinary corpse is naturally a piece of cake.

Perhaps it was because he didn't care that the fifth Dao Leader was a little careless this time.

There is an execution ground at the entrance of Tianguan Town, which was newly built by the newly established yamen after the restructuring of the old government at the beginning of this year, and was specially used to execute feudal diehards who did not respect the new law and did not support the new regime.

Since the execution ground had just been built, and the Fifth Dao Commander had not been to the town since the change of dynasty, he did not know that there was such a place to accumulate resentment at the entrance of the town, so he still entered the town according to the previous route.

When passing by the execution ground, the fifth leader immediately sensed the fierce aura and the smell of blood emanating from it, it turned out that dozens of newly arrested so-called feudal diehards had just been executed at the execution site that day, and the blood and qi had not yet dissipated.

The fifth long secret path was not good, and he just wanted to cast a spell to seal the acupoints around the corpse to prevent the resentful qi from invading the corpse, but he didn't expect him to be a step slower.

The Fifth Dao Leader didn't expect that the corpse he drove was actually unusual, and there was something else inside it, it was a 'possessed corpse'.

The so-called possessed corpse refers to the fact that other evil spirits possess the corpse and thus control the situation of the corpse, but the corpse driven by the fifth path chief is a special attached corpse, that is, the evil spirit attached to the corpse is not a spirit, but a tangible corpse.

The corpse fetus somehow burrowed into the belly of the corpse, and the corpse qi was restrained, without leaking at all, almost merging with the corpse, and it was impossible to detect it at all.

This situation is extremely rare, and the careless fifth chief didn't look carefully when he checked the corpse, and the corpse fetus that was originally attached to the corpse could only be revived after absorbing all the essence of the corpse, and that didn't know when it was, even if it was discovered, he didn't have to care, but when he entered the town, he passed by the execution ground where the resentment was condensed.

Stimulated by the blood and resentment in the execution ground, the corpse suddenly woke up, controlled the corpse to get rid of the fifth long corpse exorcism, and instantly rushed into the execution ground and disappeared.

By the time the Fifth Dao Leader chased him in, the corpse had already absorbed the blood and resentment in the execution ground, and turned into a terrifying corpse.

It was said that even if it was a corpse, with the ability of the fifth chief, it would be easy to get rid of it, but the two soldiers guarding the execution ground rushed in at an inopportune time after hearing the movement and brought food to the corpse.

Seeing this situation, the fifth leader was furious, and was about to show his might to destroy the evil corpse, but the corpses of the two soldiers who were bitten to death changed, and entangled the fifth chief for a few breaths, and after the fifth chief solved it, there was no trace of the evil corpse in the execution ground.

Now the matter went into a big way, and the furious Fifth Dao Commander pursued the breath of the corpse all the way into the town, and saw several houses with destroyed doors along the way, and when he rushed in to look, he saw that all the people in the family had been killed.

This made the Fifth Dao Leader blame himself, and at the same time became even more angry, and secretly vowed to crush the bones of the corpse and scatter ashes, but unfortunately, the corpse seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared.
