Chapter 170: Chasing the Corpse
Chasing corpses, also known as "walking corpses".
In ancient times, it was mostly prevalent in Xiangxi and Miaojiang, but it was rare in other places.
The main reason is that that generation was located in the mountains, with steep mountains and mountains, and it was inconvenient for carriages to enter and exit.
Legend has it that the corpse had to be driven out at night and rested during the day.
To put it bluntly, in the early days, there was no difference between ordinary carpenters, suona craftsmen, etc., everyone learned a craft, in order to eat together.
But with the change of the times, such backward rice mixing techniques are becoming less and less accepted, and slowly, there are fewer and fewer corpse chasers.
Of course, there is also a saying that the master is a disciple, and there must be two major characteristics, one is to be ugly, and the other is to be bold.
Lao Suo wanted to transport the body of his eldest son Luo Tian back, and the only way to drive the corpse was to use one method.
In the Dao Gate, there are also such spells.
You must know that the earliest Oriental magic originated from "black witch", and the emergence of black witchcraft can be traced back to ancient times.
It's understandable to be bold enough to say.
Remember https://m in a second
But if he looks ugly, to put it bluntly, he is afraid that if the apprentice gets married and has children, he will not take over this business.
Over time, this craft gradually disappeared, which is understandable, after all, no one wants to admit that they are ugly.
This first appearance of magic is called "black witchcraft".
There are two main reasons for the decline of black witchcraft.
The first aspect is the inheritor. The study of black witchcraft requires the inheritor to have a very high talent, to be able to condense essence, qi, and spirit, and to perceive the changes in everything in the world before he can control the five elements.
In ancient times, people saw that there were disasters in the sky, there were lightning, thunder and fire, and everything changed, and they were timid in their hearts, mistakenly thinking that there were gods to manipulate them, and believed that everything in this world had gods.
So, I began to learn to perceive and manipulate water, fire, thunder, and electricity with my mind.
I didn't think about it, but it really made them realize that many people have the ability to manipulate the forces of nature.
In fact, there is also a part of the Taoist magic, which is based on the concept of black witchcraft, and then forms its own system.
This corpse exorcism technique is one of them.
However, this kind of technique, in the Dao Gate, is regarded as a small technique that does not enter the stream, and ordinary Taoists will hardly learn it.
Based on this alone, there are very few people who can do it.
The second aspect lies in the rise of the Daomen.
In that year, Zhang Daoling Zhang Tianshi opened a sect, with the "Heavenly Master Law Seal", on the order of the emperor, swept away the demons in the world, first in the land of Shuchuan, descended eight ghost kings, and then in the 100,000 mountains, swept the black witch line, forced the black witch sect into the depths of the 100,000 mountains, and did not dare to step into the Central Plains half a step, which caused the gradual decline of black witchcraft, so that no one in later generations knew.

Several people came back from Li Jiaguan and sat in the house to rest.
I saw Uncle Nine enter the room, pounding for a while, and after a while, he took out a thin ancient book, which looked like it was only about ten pages, and it was covered with dust, and the pages were all yellowed and old.
Of course, it is very easy to get into contact with this kind of technique, and even if you are not an inner disciple, you can learn it.
As an outer disciple, Uncle Nine also learned some in his early years, but as time passed, he gradually forgot a lot.
If it weren't for the fact that this time he was transporting the body of his eldest son Luo Tian to help Lao Suo, he would not have thought of this technique.
Uncle Jiu's face was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "This technique is easy to learn, it's not difficult, and I can't use it on weekdays, so I pressed it to the bottom of the box, huh...... Senior brother, this book has been given to you, you can study it in the past two days, and then you can help the old man drive his son's body back to Luo Village. β
Li Yan picked up the book, flipped through it roughly, and sure enough, it ...... Very simple.
"By the way, senior brother, I heard that this corpse still needs to rely on some tools?"
Uncle Nine patted the dust on the ancient book, threw it away, and threw it on the table.
Li Yan frowned, looked at the words on the ancient book, and suddenly wrote the words "corpse expulsion technique".
"Master, this is the corpse exorcism technique?" Wencai and Qiusheng were a little surprised.
But in this big mountain, the fog is heavy, the humidity is too heavy, and after a long time, the candle flame in this lantern is easy to extinguish, and it takes a lot of mind to drive the corpse down.
Gradually, through improvement, he began to use the corpse bell.
Uncle Nine bowed slightly, a little worried, and said, "Senior brother, this time, you go out by yourself, but be careful." β
"Yes, the corpse bell." Uncle Nine said solemnly: "But...... This thing needs to be refined, I don't have it, you can see if it is sold before entering the mountain, just buy one......"
In ancient times, corpses were driven out, and in the earliest time, lanterns were pasted with papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
The corpse chaser walked ahead with a lantern, and the corpse followed.
ββ¦β¦β
Uncle Nine didn't say anything more.
β¦β¦
Li Yan smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm still used to walking this mountain road, it's nothing, besides, then Luo Hao is with me!" He is familiar with the environment in the mountains, so don't worry! Just help me take care of Li Jiaguan. β
After hearing this, Uncle Nine was silent for a while, and after a while, he spoke: "Senior brother, for my brother, I would like to remind you, when I was studying with Master in the early years, I heard that there are many demons and monsters in the mountains of this generation of Xiangxi, where people are rare and poisonous miasma. β
"It's okay, I have a gun!" Li Yan said calmly.
With a certain foundation, learning to drive out corpses is a breeze.
In ancient times, corpse chasers, apprentices, apprentices, many famous halls, many rules, and cumbersome regulations, now this craft is almost lost.
The younger generation, where is there anyone who is willing to be a corpse chaser?
Li Yan learned the art of chasing corpses, and it only took one day.
No, strictly speaking, it's an afternoon.
To put it bluntly, it is simple things such as chanting spells, raising corpses, and manipulating, and these spells are nothing compared to the puppet techniques of the Daomen.
Therefore, the body must be disposed of before it can be put on the road.
Li Yan took the wax oil and applied it to the corpse first, back and forth several times, the corpse became smooth and delicate, and it looked lifelike.
Recite the mantra again and bless it with a charm.
It is no wonder that Lao Suo could not find the person transporting the body, so he could only come to Li Jiaguan for help.
After preparing everything, Li Yan went to Lao Suo's house.
Luo Tian has been dead for a few days, and the body is also showing some signs of decay, in this case, when he rushes back to Luo Village, he is afraid that the blood in his body will vomit out, and he will smell fishy all the way.
After the blessing, the corpse will not decompose within thirty days, but it will become extremely stiff and zombie-like.
After getting all this done and loading the corpses into the car, Li Yan and Luo Hao set off on the road.
Miss Qing'er was very reluctant to give up, and secretly wiped her tears.
