The master nodded, walked to the middle of the room and looked at it, and said, "There is indeed a ghost spirit remaining, but it shouldn't be a ghost, and the resentment is quite small."

I also nodded, comforted Chu Mengxi, and asked, "What should I do then, master."

The master thought for a moment and said, "That's it, you kid....".

But before the master finished speaking, we heard a rattle outside the building, the master frowned slightly, walked to the window, and carefully opened the window a crack, Chu Mengxi was frightened, and screamed again when she heard this sudden rattle, her forehead was also wet with beads of sweat at this time, I said it's okay, and walked to the master's side, and Chu Mengxi, the little girl, held my arm tightly.

She and I walked up to the master, who lifted the window a little more, made a silent gesture to us, and whispered, "Shhhhhhhhhhhhh Don't talk, look there".

We followed the direction that the master said, and this look also shocked me, Chu Mengxi originally wanted to scream, but the master quickly covered Chu Mengxi's mouth and whispered: "Chu girl, don't be afraid, we are here."

Chu Mengxi nodded like a chicken pecking rice, the master slowly took his hand back, and I frowned and said, "Master, is that the legendary corpse."

The master nodded, looked at the figure in the distance and said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence, I really ran into a corpse chaser."

I also looked at a row of figures in the distance, they were all dressed strangely, they were all wearing straw hats, a pair of straw sandals, a green walking shirt and a black belt, and the one standing in front was also holding a bell, plus it had just rained, the weather was a little gray, and the fog had not dispersed.

I couldn't help but shudder, and whispered to the master: "Master, which is the corpse and which is the living."

The master didn't think much about it, and pointed to the one who took the lead and said, "The first one is a living person, that is, a corpse chaser, the next few are all dead people, and the last one should be another corpse chaser."

I nodded, counted with my eyes, and asked, "There are only four corpses, why do you need two corpse chasers?"

"It's very simple, the corpse chase industry requires a long journey, if there is only one corpse chaser, it will definitely not work, so there are two corpse chasers, one in the front to lead, one in the back to ensure that no corpses are left, if you are tired, you can also take shifts to rest."

I nodded again, still very curious and said, "Master, do you know what are the ways to drive out corpses?"

The master glanced at me, leaned on the edge of the window, looked at the corpse team in the distance and said, "I don't know the doorway in the corpse, but I still know a thing or two."

"Then you said it, and what's the use of the bell and gong in his hand, isn't it all quiet to drive out corpses, he is holding two musical instruments, how can this be called quiet." I asked, confused.

The master glanced at me and said: "Who told you that the corpse is quiet, and the industry is also above board, okay, otherwise how would everyone know, the bell and the gong do have a saying, the bell is called the soul bell, and the gong is called the yin gong, the main purpose is to control the corpse to walk, and the second is to warn the passing living not to approach."

I sighed and asked, "Where did the corpse chasing industry originate, and are there any apprentices?" I see, no one wants to learn this, it's very infiltrating to listen to, who has nothing to do to learn this."

But the master shook his head and said: "Who said that no one learns this, no one learns, where does the corpse chaser come from, is it not that it fell from the sky, as for the origin of the corpse industry, there are many theories, but the most well-known is to talk about Chi You, legend has it that the ancestor of the Miao people, Chi You led his troops to fight against the Yellow Emperor tribe on the side of the Yellow River, and the corpses flowed all over the wilderness into a river of blood. So he ordered his military advisor to see if there was a way to make the corpse walk back by itself, and the fallen leaves returned to the roots, and sure enough, the military advisor cast a spell to make all the soldiers who died in battle stand up by themselves and follow the rune to the south, which is the origin of the corpse chase."

After listening to the master's words, I was stunned and said, "Chiyou? The Yellow Emperor? Master, how can you drive out corpses and still carry them to ancient times?"

"Isn't this normal, without the former, how can so many evil things come down." The master said.

I nodded understandingly, watching the corpse chaser walking slowly on the mountain road with the corpse, and just wanted to open his mouth to continue asking, but Chu Mengxi, this girl, was surprisingly one step ahead of me, and asked: "Then, Uncle Tan, how did they drive corpses, it must be very strict to accept apprentices, right?"

The master unexpectedly turned his head to look at Chu Mengxi, looked at me again, and suddenly smiled, I shrugged my shoulders, but heard the master say: "Chu girl, aren't you afraid"?

Chu Mengxi also calmed down a little at this time, and said, "With you, I'm not as scared as before."

"Hehe, this girl, well, I'll tell you about the wonders of chasing corpses." The master leaned his back against the window, his hands clasped around his chest, while I was standing beside the master with Chu Mengxi, and my eyes were always on the pair of corpse chasers.

I always felt that something was wrong, and my heart was furious, but what the master said next pulled my mind back.

"Chasing corpses, also called walking feet, why, because there are taboos in the profession of chasing corpses, such as a business coming to the door, you must not say to the corpse chaser, help me transport a corpse, help me drive a corpse, otherwise you will only be bombarded out by the corpse chaser, please corpse chaser is generally jargon, for example, sir, there is a place I want to invite you to take a foot, hey~ This corpse chaser heard this, and naturally took over the business, as for the apprentice."

The master wiped his chin, glanced back at the team that was still swaying and walking to drive the corpses, and said: "This line of apprenticeship is strict, and you must pass three levels."

"Which three passes, master". I chimed in.

The master smiled slightly, and said: "The first level, the sense of direction must be strong, generally the corpse chaser will let the people who come to study wear blindfolds, turn around dozens of times in place, and then look up at the sun, you have to immediately distinguish the south, south, north, west, so that you can pass the first level, the second level."

The master gestured and continued: "That is good physical strength, because the corpse must travel a long distance in this business, and it all depends on the legs and feet, if the physical strength is not good, the wind blows down, even if the corpse is over, it will not help, the third level, is the most important level, must be bold, how to test it, it is very simple, the corpse chaser will go to the grave in the deep mountains and old forests during the day to put a leaf on the grave, press it with a stone, in the middle of the night to call the scholar to get it, dare to go, the first two levels passed again, that directly apprenticeship, dare not go, The first two levels were also passed, and they left directly, so there are only a few corpse chasers, not to mention that the corpse chaser is gradually declining."

After the master finished speaking, he stared at the corpse team in front of him, and I also saw a trace of something in the master's eyes, but I didn't say it, Chu Mengxi, the little girl, looked a little interested after listening to the master's rules for chasing corpses and collecting apprentices, shook the master's arm and said: "Uncle Tan, Uncle Tan, is there any other way to say this corpse, I want to hear it."

The master looked back at Chu Mengxi and said with a smile: "Yo, Chu girl, I'm really not afraid."

Chu Mengxi shook his head, the master smiled, I was standing next to me, I listened to the statement of chasing the corpse and collecting apprentices, and I was also a little surprised, this is even more difficult than the standard of our industry to accept apprentices, I think when I worshipped the master as a teacher, I washed the basin, a hot water, handed a hot towel to the master to wipe his face, and it was over, I thought that there were stricter rules for accepting apprentices.

I looked at the master, and suddenly said, "Master, I seem to have seen where I used to see what to drive the corpse, what to do, what is the matter?"

The master moved his gaze from Chu Mengxi to my side, and said, "Oh, that's called three rushes and three don't rush."

"Three rushes? Which three will be driven, and which three will not be driven." Chu Mengxi said.

The master was stunned for a moment, pointed at the two of us and said, "Are you two here to listen to the story, especially you, Chu girl, you were scared just now, but now you are not afraid, you are exactly the same as your father when he was young."

Chu Mengxi stuck out his tongue and smiled sweetly, and the master shook his head with a smile and said, "Anyway, I slept for a while during the day, so let's tell you, the three rushes are beheaded, hanged, and caged."

"Beheaded? Hanging? Standing cage? What is this?" I asked, confused.

"Don't you know? It's the kind of people who fell with knives in their hands in ancient times, they broke the law and were given the death penalty, and they were very angry after death, why are the corpse chasers still willing to chase these three categories, because these three types of people are people with sufficient grievances after death, and it is easier for ghosts to hook souls, and they can still have the strength to go back because of their grievances, so that the corpse chasers will be much easier."

"Then what is the meaning of three not rushing". Chu Mengxi said again.

The master didn't think much about it, and said directly: "It's easy to understand if you don't rush to the end of your life, you can hang yourself by throwing yourself into the river, and you will be burned by thunder, because the soul of the person who is dying is hooked away by the ghost, and the corpse chaser can't snatch people from the hands of the Lord of Yama, and if you hang yourself in the river, you won't rush it, because they can still be reincarnated and drive them back, and they can't find a base or hang their souls, isn't that just a mistake, not to mention the thunder and fire, you think about it, most of the people who were killed by lightning are the lords hated by all people, Even God can't stand it, isn't it asking for trouble to drive them, the fire is burning beyond recognition, and there is no way to rush back, this is the three no-rushes of chasing corpses."

I stood on the sidelines, listened very carefully, and glanced at the corpse team in the distance, it was strange that we had been talking here for a while, and they could still appear in our sight.
