021 Corpse Gu
The red-nosed Taoist priest changed his previous demeanor, and begged for mercy in a soft manner: "Our master and apprentice are just forced to eat, and we have no intention of offending you, how offended, you adults have a lot, let us go." ”
These words sounded familiar, and they were exactly what I said when I begged them to raise their noble hands, but Feng Shui took turns, and these words came from the mouth of the red-nosed Taoist priest at this time.
The master said coldly: "What is a last resort, is it a last resort to collect money by pretending to be a god?" Is it so difficult to support yourself with hands and feet? ”
The white-bearded Taoist didn't speak, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice when he heard the master's words, "You don't know, our master and apprentice were originally from corpse chasers. I've studied chasing corpses all my life, and I've learned that my beard is white, and I thought that I could make a difference, but where else would anyone hire a corpse chaser now? I'm old again, and if I don't understand anything else, I'll drive out corpses, where do you tell me to find a living? ”
He was telling the truth.
Driving out corpses, belonging to the Miao Gu technique, also known as moving spirits, originated in the four counties of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Lipu in Guchen Prefecture. In the Qing Dynasty, it was widely spread that the corpse chasers in Xiangxi used secret techniques to bring the corpses of people who died in a foreign land back to their hometowns and let them be buried in peace.
However, with the development of the times and technology, people no longer need to drive out corpses. This makes me feel that what is trendy now may not be popular in the future, and it is certain that those that cannot adapt to the trend of the times will be eliminated. The terrible thing is that people who are immersed in the old times are still unaware...... Maybe sooner or later, we will also become old antiques.
At this time, Uncle Kun, who had been silent, said: "Look at you guys are quite pitiful, we can be regarded as a lesson for you if we cut off your hand." In this way, as long as you promise not to deceive people with magic in the future, I will let you go. ”
The master was puzzled: "Ah Kun, have you forgotten that these two people almost made you ugly?" ”
Uncle Kun sighed: "I am the same as the end of the world, why am I not the same as them?" There must be ups and downs, and the vein of illusion shined in the Tang Dynasty, with ups and downs for thousands of years, and when it was passed on to my generation, it was almost withdrawn from the stage of history. ”
After hearing this, the master was silent, and after a long time, he said coldly to the two, "You can get out." ”
If the two of them were granted amnesty, they thanked them before going out.
I suddenly remembered something and stopped them. The red nose froze and said with a wry smile: "Big brother, is there anything else?" ”
I said, where did these black zombies come from? Isn't it the black zombie that you killed people and refined with evil methods?
The three souls of the red nose lost their courage and said hurriedly: "Big brother, you misunderstood, we dare to do this deceptive thing, but kill people...... Tsk, we don't dare. At first, we just wanted to teach you a lesson, and we didn't think about killing people. Besides, these nine black zombies were all strong men before their deaths, and our masters and apprentices were old, weak, sick and disabled, where could they be harmed. ”
That's true. Under my questioning, the red nose was revealed. These corpses were the nameless corpses they found on Niutou Mountain, and the two of them were destitute, so they came up with the idea of using the black zombie to make money.
For the sake of prudence, I detained the two of them and waited until the next morning to personally verify with Mrs. Niu for verification. After hearing this, the old man pondered for a while, and said that three years ago, an engineering team came to Niutou Mountain to work, and at that time, a landslide occurred during the rainy season, and many workers were buried alive. Fortunately, their boss, yes, it seems that the surname is Wang, who is very good, and he lost a large amount of pension and suppressed this matter. Later, they decided that the place was unlucky, so they did not continue the work, and the matter was put on hold.
After the corpse dies, it becomes a white zombie, but it takes a few years to become a black zombie, which is almost right. So the corpse chasers and apprentices didn't lie, they didn't kill anyone. I wonder what kind of fortifications that engineering team is building in the mountains, which is very mysterious. I'm afraid it's not just the nine we captured.
I asked if I wanted to go into the depths of Niutou Mountain. The master shook his head and vetoed, "Our trip is mainly to hunt down corpses and old blind people, but we have already worked in vain, do we still need to make extraneous branches?" Are you idle or what? ”
As soon as I thought about it, it was the same, so I hastily dealt with the matter on Niutou Mountain and went back.
The next day, an unexpected thing happened, and Uncle Kun left a letter without saying goodbye. The letter said to the effect that he had come here this time to help us, but now he found that he was old, his energy was declining, and his skills were not as good as before. He will not be a burden, and he will leave a book as a souvenir.
I felt both sorry and strange, why did Uncle Kun say goodbye.
Master said, it's not because of you. Those of us of the older generation value reputation the most, and Ah Kun was broken by the Whitebeard Taoist, and his confidence has been greatly damaged. You are a junior who made a move and made a big show, although you saved Dongdong, it also made Ah Kun lose face. How can you raise his head in front of your junior after you call him? That's why I advised you not to make a move.
I was silent.
In addition, Uncle Kun also left us an old book, called Illusion Appraisal, which recorded in detail all kinds of illusions that have been handed down to this day, such as turning empty rods into fish, turning stones into gold, etc., among which there are some illusions that have been lost, such as fairy ropes, fairies scattering flowers, etc.
I can't regret it, I knew that I wouldn't be reckless that day, and let the master take action, it seems that I will have to think about some things in the future.
Yang Zhenchuan patted me on the shoulder and comforted, look at me, Ah Kun is also a little stingy, don't take it to heart to your nephew. However, Ah Kun is also a good person, and he will leave you a book before leaving, which should have been left for the closed disciples. He didn't have the face to be your master, so he left you a book, originally because he wanted someone to carry forward the art of illusion.
I nodded.
Yang Zhenchuan also said that Wang Tong finally called to agree to the coffin and reburial.
We are all looking forward to it, hoping to find some clues from Wang Zaijin's body.
It took a lot of effort for the master to ambush the black stiff, and he didn't appear before, so in order not to make Wang Tong suspicious, he had to continue with the three of us.
During our trip to Niutou Mountain, Yang Zhenchuan had already selected a feng shui place for Wang Zaijin to be buried in Jin, and Wang Tong felt very satisfied after seeing it, so he took people to the cemetery to raise the coffin.
After choosing an auspicious time to open the altar, Yang Zhenchuan asked the workers to lift the coffin. The coffin was raised, dead and heavy, and the workers were sweating. When the coffin was opened, the four big men pried it for a long time, but they couldn't open it.
Wang Tong suspected them of grinding foreign workers, and stepped forward to supervise, Yang Zhenchuan frowned, dispersed the workers, and wiped the peach wood sword with a spirit talisman, which was regarded as opening the light and inserting it into the gap of the coffin.
With a strong push, the coffin board was pushed open. At the same time, wisps of foul-smelling white smoke rose from the coffin.
"The corpse has changed!" The worker screamed and ran out more than ten meters away in panic.
"I am a bold person, and the bald corpse of a hundred days has become a hair." Yang Zhenchuan was disdainful, and approached the coffin with the courage of a master.
I have seen the corpse change powerfully, so I want to remind the second uncle, before the words came out, Yang Zhenchuan had already lifted the coffin board, and at the same time, a cloud of black gas flew out.
"Dad, be careful." Yang Dong's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly pulled away the second uncle, but he became the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and was swept away by the black gas.
After the black gas dissipated, I saw a highly decomposed corpse in the coffin, and the broken belly had become a nest of poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions, entangled together, and it was impossible to tell whether they were biting each other or eating the flesh and blood of the corpse. When Wang Tong saw this scene, he held his waist and vomited.
"Uncle Chuan, this... What the hell is going on? "It stands to reason that Wang Zaijin has been dead for three years, and his body has long been turned into white bones, how can this be?
Yang Zhenchuan's face changed greatly, "This is ...... Corpse Gu. Using the corpse as a vessel, let the seven poisonous insects fight, devour each other, and be nourished by the underground yin qi, which is extremely vicious, and the middle one will die. ”
Saying that he didn't care about Sven, Yang Zhenchuan directly pulled Wang Tong, who was still vomiting, over, and asked sharply: "Look, is this your father?" ”
Although the body was decomposed, its face was still faintly recognizable.
Wang Tong was so frightened that he shook his head for a long time: "No...... No. ”
At this time, hearing a pop behind him, Yang Dong's face turned black and he fainted.
