Chapter 52: Four Steps to Drive the Corpse
The mysterious and treacherous Xiangxi corpse, the steps are so simple, no one will believe it when I say it, even if it is me, if I don't see it with my own eyes, I will definitely not believe it. However, this is the case, the miraculous corpse chaser that has been rumored by the world has completed the control of the corpse in less than two minutes in the hands of the mysterious corpse chaser in front of him, which is really incredible.
In fact, it's no wonder that I think so, it's really that the actions of the corpse chasers are too light and clear, and I'm a layman, so I can't see the doorway, if the Taoist priest is present, I definitely won't think so.
I once read a myth and legend about the origin of the exorcism on a website, and it went something like this:
Legend has it that more than 4,600 years ago, the ancestor of the Miao people, Apu (that is, the meaning of the father-in-law) and the demon god Chiyou led the army to fight with the emperor on the bank of the Yellow River.
When the battle was over, the army needed to retreat to the rear, and when the soldiers carried the wounded soldiers away, Chi You said to the military advisors around him: "These brothers who died in the battle are all heroes, we can't let them not even go home after they die, aren't you fucking strong in magic, how about trying to make two spells bring these brothers home?" As soon as the Apu military division thought about it, most of the dead were from his own tribe, so he said: "Okay, let's change our costumes, you use the 'runes' to lead the way in front, and I will supervise in the back."
After chanting incantations and praying to the gods, he shouted loudly to the corpses: "For the sake of the fallen brothers of the tribe, this is not a place for you to live and live, and it is really sad to die in vain. Don't hesitate for the soul of Erluer, be as anxious as the law, get up!"
The corpses that were originally lying on the ground all stood up at once, and walked south in an orderly manner behind Chi You Gaoqing's "Fu Jie". When the enemy's pursuers came, Apu Chiyou and Apu Army Division joined forces to attract the 'Five Greater Fogs' and trap the enemy in the Ecstasy Array. Because it was the spell of the 'division' (implementation and operation intention) of the Apu military division that allowed everyone to get out of danger, everyone has since called him 'Lao Si'.
And because the last thing that Apu Laosi used to defend against the enemy was actually 'fog technique', and there were too many 'fog' strokes that were difficult to write, so he rewrote it into a 'witch' character instead. In fact, this witch character is also a hieroglyph: the upper horizontal represents the sky or fog, the lower horizontal represents the earth, and the middle one represents the 'rune'; there is a human character on each side of the vertical, the right one represents Apu Chiyou, and the left one represents Apu Laosi, which means that two people must unite to do witchcraft, which is why the general corpse chaser must bring an apprentice or a companion with other fellow monks.
With such a wide origin, the corpse that has been inherited for so long has undergone more than 4,000 years of evolution and perfection, and the magic and complexity in it have long been far beyond people's imagination, how can it be as simple as I imagined? And I only learned the mystery from some strange people after this incident had passed, but that was a long time later.
In fact, the process of driving out the corpse is extremely complicated, because the corpse will decompose within a few days after death, and the employer who needs to expel the corpse is generally quite far away from the place where the fallen leaves return to their roots, and it may take several months for more and a week or two for the few, so the first step of chasing the corpse is embalming.
Ordinary corpse chasers have their own secret embalming formula, which can keep the corpse from decaying for several months, and after the embalming process is completed, it is to recall the earth soul. Embalming is the first step in driving out corpses, and recalling earth souls is the second step.
The three souls of man, the soul of the earth are in charge of action, and the mystery of driving out corpses lies here. When the earth soul returns to the body, the corpse has the ability to act, but because it has no thinking, the corpse will only move unconsciously after the earth soul is recalled, so it must be supplemented by necessary means to guide and control, which is the third step: controlling the corpse. The method of corpse control is different for each faction, and only the parties know how to do it, and the steps of corpse control are the simplest but also the longest step, because in the next process of corpse control, corpse control has been going on.
And when you reach your destination, it's the final step: return to your soul! Disperse the earth soul, appease the spirits of the deceased, and remove the embalming measures on the corpse, so as not to accumulate corpse qi all year round.
The most difficult step is to recall the earth soul in the third step, because after the death of a person, the three souls are scattered, and one of the three souls who want to recall a person in this vast world is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, and the probability of success is extremely small. And when it is impossible to recall the earth soul of the deceased, it is necessary to send the isolated earth soul that is free between heaven and earth into the corpse, so that the corpse can still have the ability to move, but this process becomes extremely cumbersome.
The reason why the corpse chaser we met was able to control a corpse so lightly was actually because he had already completed the steps of embalming and recalling the earth soul, and now he only needed to control the corpse with a specific corpse control technique. Even so, for me now, these are incomprehensible, because at this time I don't know the true face of the corpse. Moreover, even if the corpse chaser in front of him explains the principle of corpse chasing, believe it or not, it is just a matter of opinion.
The doctor was intrigued, apparently unable to understand why the corpse could move, which was a miracle for a medical student of his calibre.
The corpse chaser still didn't mean to talk to us, and after completing the regain control of the corpse, he turned around and walked into the corpse group, but as if he remembered something, he took out a small bag from the treasure bag on his waist, threw it to me, and then walked to the front of the corpse group on his own, leaving only an understatement: "If you don't want to die, quickly dispose of the wound." ”
I was stunned, how did I feel that this voice was familiar? When I opened the cloth bag, I found that it was glutinous rice with white flowers.
I frowned, and then I remembered the wound on my neck caused by a zombie nail, although the doctor said that the wound was not serious, but it was a real zombie poison, I didn't want to become a thoughtless walking corpse, so I hurriedly grabbed a handful and pressed it to the wound.
The pain is still the same as last time, but fortunately, I have already experienced it once, and my ability to bear it is much stronger, and seeing that the corpse chaser is about to disappear into the corpse group, I can't care about the pain, so I hurriedly beckoned the doctor to follow.
