Chapter 171: Xiangxi
The carriage traveled for several days and nights, and finally reached the outside of the mountain.
Outside of this mountain forest, there are many households who used to live deep in the mountains.
Later, many villages moved out en masse.
No one wants to live in this kind of poisonous miasma, even if they are poor, the key is that it is still dangerous.
From ancient times to the present, there is no decent road in this deep mountain, many vehicles cannot enter and exit, the traffic is not convenient, and the road is basically on foot.
In the mountains, it is dark and dark, the roads are rugged, snakes, insects, rats, ants, beasts and birds are the majority, and in some places, it is very dangerous.
Li Yan stood outside the mountain, glanced inside, only to see that it was dark and dark, and there were countless trees in the sky, covering the sun, and looking deeper, it was pitch black.
Another point is that it was the rule in ancient times, and in ancient times, there were many business travelers who traveled to and from the mountains, and drove corpses at night, so as not to frighten other passers-by.
Li Yan looked up at the sky and said to Luo Hao: "Find a place, have a cup of tea first, and then enter the mountain when it gets dark." ”
"Okay." Luo Hao nodded.
At this time, it was only five o'clock in the afternoon.

The removal of corpses should be carried out at night.
The corpse does not like to see the yang, and the yin qi is heavier at night, so it can be controlled.
When the shopkeeper saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly shouted and stepped forward to ask what to eat.
He glanced at the carriage and saw the coffin above, and was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Two guest officers, are you going to enter the mountain?" ”
Li Yan sat down, nodded, and did not speak.
Li Yan walked in front, and Luo Hao followed behind, pulling the carriage supporting the coffin.
After a while, I came to a small open-air teahouse and sat down.
The small teahouse was deserted, and there was no one.
Luo Hao grinned and said, "I'm not, he is." ”
"Oh......" The shopkeeper suddenly smiled, and said: "This guest officer looks young and delicate, but he didn't expect it to be a corpse chaser!" ”
In the past, the corpse chasers were all rosacea, pockmarked faces, and very ugly.
The shopkeeper looked at Li Yan curiously, then at Luo Hao, and said, "Could it be that the two of them are corpse chasers?" ”
He does business outside this mountain all the year round, and many corpse chasers will drink a cup of tea with him before entering the mountain, and over time, the shopkeeper will become accustomed to it.
It's rare to see Li Yan and Luo Hao today, so naturally I will ask a few more questions.
After a while, he brought tea and food, and came.
After putting the things down, the shopkeeper didn't leave, pulled the bench, sat up, and said with a smile: "I've been in the business for two or three years, and I haven't seen the corpse chaser, and there are fewer and fewer people in this business...... The last time I met, it was still an old and a young, like a master with an apprentice, driving three corpses into the mountain, and the result was ......"
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper suddenly sighed and shook his head.
There are not many corpse chasers like Li Yan.
Li Yan frowned, as if he heard something in the shopkeeper's words, and quickly shook his head and said, "I am a Taoist priest, not a corpse chaser, but ...... I've also learned some of this art of chasing corpses, isn't this ...... It's the first time I've taken on this job to help people transport corpses. ”
"Oooh!" The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and left thoughtfully.
Seeing that Li Yan answered, he was in the middle of it, and hurriedly widened his eyes, and said mysteriously: "I heard from a passing merchant that in the forest, I saw the corpses of the old and the young. ”
"What?" When Luo Hao heard this, his face changed.
He is a native of Luo Village, and he has lived in these mountains since he was a child, so he naturally knows a lot of legends.
Li Yan took a sip of tea, looked at him, and said, "What's the result?" ”
The shopkeeper is a chatterbox.
It's rare for someone to be there, so naturally you have to chat.
Li Yan smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for reminding us, we will be careful." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he frowned, looked at Li Yan, and said, "Okay, I saw that you were going to enter the mountain, so I specially reminded you, if you don't listen, then I can't do anything." ”
With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
I still remember that when he was young, as soon as it was night, every house in the village would close their doors, saying that there were demons outside, and going out indiscriminately would kill people.
But...... Later, I followed my father and eldest brother out of the mountains and lived in the outside world, and over time, I gradually forgot a lot of things.
The shopkeeper's face was gloomy, and he lowered his voice and said, "Two, I advise you, don't go into the mountain, I heard...... Recently, there has been a big demon in the mountains, and many people have died, and now they are ...... There are far fewer business trips in and out...... This hellish place is not suitable for people, you people who come out of it, even if you die, don't think about pulling it back and burying it, it's better to bury it outside. ”
The shopkeeper said goodbye and left.
Luo Hao took a deep breath, glanced at the blacksmith shop, nodded, and said to Li Yan: "Daochang Li, the second junior of this shop is right, we really have to be careful when we enter the mountain." ”
Li Yan smiled and said, "Then you won't enter?" ”
Li Yan raised his head, looked at him, and asked, "By the way, let me ask, where are the corpse bells sold around here?" ”
"Corpse bell?"
The shopkeeper was stunned, glanced at the other end, and said: "Oh, there is a blacksmith shop there, there is an old blacksmith in it, starting from his grandfather's grandfather, he has opened a shop outside this mountain, and he has a corpse bell, only they have a ...... there."
Looking back now, Li Yan is still impressed.
Luo Hao's expression suddenly became strange, and he didn't speak.
Li Yan smiled: "Is there anything that can't be said about this?" ”
Luo Hao's face changed slightly, and he said, "If I can decide, I won't go in, there's no way...... My father insisted on sending my eldest brother's body back to his hometown. ”
Li Yan was a little curious and said, "I heard your father say that you have made a lot of money doing business outside all these years!" Why did your father come to my Li Jiaguan to worship that day, and the offerings he brought were so shabby? ”
Two eggs, one apple.
"Awesome!" Li Yan was speechless and said: "If you drink flower wine, you can drink flower wine, and you can still talk about it so elegantly." ”
"Oh?" Li Yan was a little surprised.
Luo Hao said: "Over the years, we have made a lot of money doing business outside, but ...... My eldest brother is a loser, and he spends a lot, since he hit the mountain, he has seen the world of flowers outside, and the eldest brother has become more and more unable to resist the temptation, busy with business during the day, and went to Cuixiang Building at night to save the girl who has lost his footing, and after a few years, he has lost almost all his savings, and my father and I have also persuaded him...... However, the eldest brother did not listen to persuasion. ”
"Alas!" Luo Hao sighed and said, "Daochang Li, you help us, I won't hide it from you, this matter has something to do with my eldest brother Luo Tian." ”
Luo Hao showed an embarrassed look and said, "It's my eldest brother after all, and the person is dead, so I won't say much." ”
It was getting dark, and after drinking tea and eating, the two went to the blacksmith's shop, bought a bell to drive the corpse, and began to enter the mountain......
