Chapter 175: The Corpse Inn

I couldn't deny it, nodded and replied: "Of course, Gu Youyun, the body is stiff, the skin is not rotten, it is a zombie." The limbs twisted, the eyes were round, it was to deceive the corpse, it seemed that in the remaining two coffins, there were also zombies lying in ten. ”

"Ah, if you say that, wouldn't we have broken into a zombie den." Liu Feng was even more frightened after hearing this, stretched out his hand and pointed to the other two coffins, and said tremblingly.

After hearing what he said, I immediately shook my head and said, "This is not a zombie nest, but an ancient corpse inn, that is, a place for zombies to sleep." ”

The so-called corpse inn first originated in the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, the war was raging, the people were struggling to make a living, many civilians and soldiers and generals were killed in other places, and the relatives of the deceased hired people to "transport" the corpses from distant places in order to find the corpses and return to their roots.

Because the transportation in ancient times was far less than that of today's society, and the distance was long, the corpse was easy to rot and grow maggots halfway, so the mysterious profession of "corpse chaser" was derived.

Employed by relatives of the deceased, corpse chasers dehydrate and marinate the corpse with special herbs to keep it incorruptible for a long time and easy to transport, and then they use their own craft to stiffen the corpse and make it a zombie to control walking.

Finally, the corpse is carefully dressed, and the rich people wear longevity clothes, and the rich dignitaries wear official clothes to show respect for the deceased.

If there are more than two corpses, the corpse chaser will tie the corpses with ropes, one every few feet, in a string, and then paste a corpse charm on the forehead to prevent the corpse from changing halfway.

In the evening, while beating the small gong in their hands, they led the group of corpses forward, without lighting lanterns, and shaking a soul bell in their hands to let the night walkers avoid it, and inform those who had dogs to lock up the dogs.

Because the corpse is not as good as the living after all, it is controlled by the corpse chaser to walk with secret techniques, so when it encounters a steep high slope, the corpse root cannot jump up, and the corpse chaser has to carry it one by one to the high slope, so it is also a very hard work.

Seeing that the sky is bright, they are tired and hungry on the way, and they will go to a special place for corpse chasers and corpses to rest, this kind of place is the mysterious "corpse inn".

At this time, I looked down at the skeletons and Qing Dynasty corpses on the ground, and vaguely understood what had happened to this inn.

According to my rough guess, after the corpse driver entered the shop to rest, he placed the body in the coffin, and for some reason, one of the corpses suddenly gave birth to a corpse, and one person and one corpse fought fiercely together, so that there is now this tragic scene of both deaths.

At the moment, I didn't dare to delay, and said to Liu Feng: "There is no place to go on this rainy day, I can only deal with it for one night in the corpse inn, you hurry up and find some dry firewood, let's burn these corpses, in case they are scary when they sleep." ”

"Okay, just do as you say." Liu Feng was excited and hurriedly responded.

Because it was raining outside, there were no dry trees to use, so Liu Feng called out to Fang Wei and Zhao Xiaoying, and the three of them went up and down to dismantle the few broken tables and stools in the house.

They were busy, and I was not idle here, so I walked up to the coffin and pushed the lids of the remaining two coffins open one after another.

Like the dried corpses on the ground, the two corpses were also dressed in Qing Dynasty official uniforms, with iron and blue faces, yellow talismans, eyes closed, hands crossed in front of chest, lying straight in the coffin.

Looking at his dress, he must have been infinite in his life, and he was still a child of a rich family.

I bent down to look at it carefully, and now that the two corpses did not have fangs or nails, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was no sign of the corpse.

"Hiss......"

Just as I was getting up to leave, one of the corpses in the coffin suddenly had a slow rise and fall in his chest, and a gasp sounded from his mouth.

I quickly stopped, looked at the corpse again, and now the yellow paper on its forehead emitted white smoke, and its eyes opened at some point, staring at me in a daze.

I was startled, thinking what the hell is going on here, it was fine just now, why do you have to open your eyes and get up the corpse now?

At the critical moment, I didn't have time to think about it at all, I subconsciously took out a corpse suppression talisman from the bag and pressed it on the corpse's forehead.

But before it could be attached, it suddenly stretched out its hands and grabbed my arms.

I screamed that it was bad, and I tried to withdraw my hands and use the mahogany sword against it instead.

Helplessly, the strength of the corpse became stronger, and he grabbed my arm and did not let go, and slowly sat up from the coffin, sniffed hard, and leaned over to my face.

I stared at the boss, and I saw a trace of white gas coming out of my mouth, and it was sucked into my nostrils, and when it was done, the corpse's face still showed an expression of enjoyment, as if it had just finished smoking a big cigarette.

That's when I suddenly woke up and understood why it suddenly came back to life, damn it, it turned out that this damn thing absorbed my yang energy to cheat the corpse.

Speaking of this deception, there are eighteen kinds of deception, which is called the bardo body stage in Taoism, which is affected by eighteen external forces, resulting in eighteen different corpse changes.

Among them, there are chongyin fraud, cat spirit fraud, tomb fraud, chicken blood fraud, dog barking fraud, and so on.

And the Qing Dynasty zombie in front of me belongs to Chong Yin, it absorbed my yang energy, and disrupted the yin energy in its brain, resulting in the incompatibility of yin and yang, so this scene was born.

After figuring out the key, I stretched out my hand to slap myself, I have been learning the Tao for so many years, and I have forgotten this common sense, which is really confusing.

Next, how dare I let it continue to absorb my yang energy, and if it continues like this, it will have to be sucked into a human body, and immediately obediently closed its mouth.

The corpse felt that there was no yang energy to breathe, and began to search with half-squinted eyes, and the whole face was approaching me, and a mouth, full of fishy smell, I almost vomited out with disgusting regurgitation.

After a while, seeing that it couldn't breathe in the yang energy, it finally slowly let go of my arm, and taking advantage of this opportunity, my eyes flashed, and I pulled out the peachwood sword from the bag and stabbed it into its throat.

A "poof" sounded.

A stinking black blood spurted out of its throat, and the corpse screamed in pain, this cry was not a human cry at all, it sounded more like the cry of a wild beast, unusually tragic and harsh.

The expression on its face became distorted and hideous, its body kept shaking violently, and its limbs kicked wildly, kicking the coffin with a clang.

Because the corpse was born after the yin was born, I stabbed the peachwood sword into its throat, which had the effect of blocking the absorption of yang energy, and it stretched out its arms and kicked its legs for a while, and finally fell into the coffin with a bang.
