Chapter 604: Heavy Rain
Because it was an overnight entry into the mountain, so the group walked unhurriedly and slowly, Ah Song opened the road at the front, Zhang Qiang and Laila in the middle, and I and Lao Scar fell behind, on the way Lao Scar did not talk to me again, but shook the copper bell from time to time, controlling the corpses to walk staggeringly behind.
I saw that the road in the mountains was slippery, and the corpse seemed to be unstable, swaying with every step, so I took the initiative to say to the old scar, "Do you want to find a rope to tie up all the corpses, lest the corpses be lost?" ”
Old Scar smiled and waved his hand and said no, he has been driving corpses for more than 30 years, and there is no precedent for losing corpses, corpses will follow his bells, even if they fall behind, they are not afraid, as long as the bells can be transmitted to the location, the corpses will follow sooner or later.
I couldn't help but be full of curiosity about the old scar's skill in chasing corpses, and asked in a low voice, "By the way, Brother Scar, didn't I ask you last time, how did these corpses walk according to your requirements, you said that the next time you have the opportunity to meet, you will tell me, you won't forget?" ”
Old Scar smiled, blinked and said, "This is my biggest secret, do you really want to know?" ”
I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "If Brother Scar has any difficulties, I won't ask, I'm just curious, and I don't mean anything else." ”
"Don't ask!" The old scar looked very interested, laughed three times very boldly, and then said, "If it were changed to before, this secret method of chasing corpses is an unpassed secret in our vein, and it must not be easily leaked to outsiders, but now the times are already different, and the vein of chasing corpses will be eliminated by the times sooner or later, even if you keep these secrets, it is useless, if you sincerely want to know, I can tell you, maybe you can develop the next corpse chaser." ”
After listening to this, I shook my head again and again, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Scar, your business is not suitable for me, and I don't plan to enter this industry." ”
Although I clearly refused, Old Scar sighed when he heard these words, and then shook his head and said, "Alas, there are few people in this vein who drive out corpses, even in ancient times, if it were not the end of the road, they would definitely take the initiative to embark on this road!" ”
I listened to his tone with a lot of unconcealed sentimentality, and hurriedly asked, "Then why did you get on this path?" ”
"Stinky boy, would you like to inquire about my origins?" Old Scar glanced at me, pointed at himself with a blank face, and said, "Do you know why I'm wearing a mask all the time?" ”
To be honest, I really didn't know, but when I saw him take the initiative to talk about this, I immediately hurriedly asked, "Isn't it because of a hobby?" ”
"Fun fart!" Old Scar glared at me fiercely, and then smiled bitterly, "Who wants to live with an ugly mask all day long, I wear a mask because I have no choice, I really can't accept my appearance, my brother told you, I was also a handsome guy when I was young, and I don't know how tall I am compared to you......"
I hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Okay...... Brother Scar, when will your virtue of dying if you don't brag be changed, at most I won't ask, okay? ”
"Humph!" Old Scar said extremely unhappily, "You don't believe it, do you?" ”
I didn't say anything, but my expression had betrayed the truest thoughts in my heart, if he was really a handsome man, why did he hide behind a mask all day and night, was he too handsome for fear of being robbed?
"I know you kid doesn't believe it!" Old Scar shook his head and said, "Forget it, this topic will not be debated, didn't you just ask me, why can the corpse walk according to my control?" ”
I immediately said, "Are you willing to say that?" ”
"Actually, it's not as mysterious as you think," Old Scar smiled and said, "This method of chasing corpses is to seal the soul and control the corpse!" You also know that after death, the soul will fly out of the body, some lonely souls and wild ghosts often do not believe that they will die, so the soul is reluctant to leave, especially the dead souls, the obsession is heavier, and some will even entrench in the dead place for several years, and I happen to know how to seal the soul, as the name suggests, that is, to gather these dead souls who are unwilling to leave, re-urge the spell, seal all these dead souls on the corpse, and then control these dead souls through the copper bell, then the corpse will naturally follow me. ”
I couldn't help but gasp, "I see, that's ......"
Old Scar's words really opened my eyes, I didn't expect that the corpse chaser would actually control the corpse through the dead soul, no wonder he could control the corpse so well, but after thinking about it, new doubts surged into my mind.
I said, "Brother Scar, have you ever encountered this situation, that is, after a person dies, the three souls and seven spirits are dispersed very quickly, and they will not stay in place for a long time, let alone become yin spirits, what should you do in this situation?" ”
Old Scar groaned for a while, and said with a smile, "It's your kid who will have a problem, I haven't encountered this situation, of course, there is a better way to deal with it, if the corpse's dead soul is scattered, then you need to replenish the soul, that is, catch another irrelevant lonely soul and wild ghost, and forcibly hit them on the corpse......"
The more I listened, the more surprised I became, and I was shocked, "Aren't these lonely ghosts ......?"
"Don't worry, although my old scar has no scruples about doing things, but it has not been mad enough to commit abuse at will, the lonely souls and wild ghosts I caught are all people who can't be reborn after death in vain, their souls have no support, they can only wander aimlessly in the world, I detain them, and after finishing it, I will naturally put on the incense altar to chant the scriptures for the dead souls, so that they can go to the place where they should go as soon as possible, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good."
"Oh!" Hearing this, I fully understood, although Old Scar was arrogant and unreasonable on the surface, but his heart was still good, I really didn't expect him to take the initiative to surpass those ownerless lonely souls.
Old Scar smiled and said, "Actually, I was also forced to be helpless, the line of chasing corpses will be cursed by the five evils and three deficiencies, probably because of dealing with corpses all year round, and the body will also be infected by corpse qi, and I will be deprived of luck, do more good deeds, but also to have a good end in the future, it is precisely because of this that the corpse chaser is very strict in accepting apprentices, and those who do not meet the standard must not be wanted." ”
Zhang Qiang has been eavesdropping on our conversation, and when he heard this, he suddenly made a joke, "What, the corpse chaser has to pick people to collect apprentices, that old scar brother, do you think I'm doing this?" ”
Old Scar forgot about him very seriously, and suddenly smiled and said, "The first criterion is to be ugly, and it must be extremely ugly, followed by guts and physique, Boss Zhang, your appearance is barely passing, but how dare you ......"
Zhang Qiang was choked and rolled his eyes, snorted and stopped interjecting.
I pulled the sleeve of the old scar curiously, "Didn't you just say that you were a handsome man, how to accept the first criterion of apprenticeship is ugly, then you ......"
My words seemed to touch the sad part of the old scar, and he suddenly stopped laughing, and lowered his head and said sullenly, "It's raining hard, we have to speed up our pace!" ”
Rumble!
As he blurted out his words, a deafening thunderstorm sound immediately came from the top of everyone's heads, and Ah Song, who was walking in front, trembled, looked up at the night sky, and his face changed greatly, "Hurry up, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily later!" ”
