After speaking, when he saw Luo Lao's crooked reaction, he knew that it was famous, and then laughed and said: "If you want to say that there are zombies in Yizhuang, it is reasonable and deserved, but it is strange that the corpse poison on the face of the second aunt of the mouse is not obvious, and it seems that the corpse poison was poured into the mouth after death, the small eyes are clumsy, I don't know the height, how dare I show ugliness in front of the big shopkeeper and Luo Shuai, the two big experts." \\/”

Luo Lao was waiting for him to have this word, and told the flower ant to listen clearly, it turned out that the customs of the old Xiongling in Xiangxi were strange, in the first seven days after the death of a person, the corpse should be infused with corpse poison and stand behind the door panel, called "standing stiff", all zombies, no matter what the reason for death and not stiff, there must be corpse poison in their bodies, if there is no secret method of "standing stiff", do not wait for the corpse to return to the hometown, the corpse will first rot and rot by itself.

In addition to Chen Blind, the other three people only heard its name when it came to Xiangxi, but they didn't know the facts, at this time, Luo Lao said crookedly, only then did he have a sense of sudden enlightenment, and his curiosity really rose, and the rainy night was long and boring, and he was willing to ask Luo Shuai to teach him the mystery.

Luo Lao crooked had the opportunity to brag about his experience in front of the red girl, and he did not shirk it at the moment, he was most familiar with the matter of driving corpses, because he had been a craftsman in the early years, he was too poor to live from Shandong when he was a teenager, and he came to Hunan to rely on relatives and friends, but when he arrived at the place, he knew that his distant relatives had already died, and he had nothing to do, and because of his ugly appearance, he was not a good kind at first glance, and no one was willing to find a place to be an apprentice as a coolie.

In desperation, I had to enter the green forest road and do some deeds of killing the rich and helping the poor, the so-called "robbing the rich and helping the poor" is just a good thing, because for those poor and poor people, it is rare to have any benefit from robbing and killing, and it also avoids a notoriety of harming the people. But he came from other provinces, and he didn't know the local customs, so he couldn't stand up at all, and finally someone pointed him out the way - to be a corpse chaser, and a corpse chaser to accept apprentices. There must be three conditions, one is to be bold, the second is ugly, and the third is not to marry for the rest of your life.

Most of the corpses in Xiangxi are in Daomendi. Chenzhou, Xiangxi, which is rich in cinnabar, has two major gates, namely "Hu House Thunder Altar" and "Golden House Thunder Altar", which have always been the business of driving corpses, all of which belong to these two Thunder Altar Doors. Luo Lao bowed to an old man surnamed Jin and learned the secret technique of chasing corpses from the Golden Mansion Thunder Altar.

Xiangxi, Hunan, since ancient times, there have been mysterious legends such as "sending corpses, falling holes, and releasing Gu", among which sending corpses is "driving corpses". Because of the rugged mountains of Xiangxi, many places have no access to roads at all, and there are many merchants from the north who trade wood to make huge profits, and most of them put the giant trees taken from rafts in the river during the flood season. Going south, the merchants all drifted down the raft with the raft, and when they finished their business, they returned home through the mountains and mountains.

Because of the land of Yidong, bandits are rampant. There are many miasma poisonous insects, and all kinds of diseases spread. There are foreign merchants who are not accustomed to the water and soil, once they are infected or looted, they often die on the way, and the merchants from other provinces are very sympathetic to the suffering of these dead peers, so they pool money to build a Yizhuang museum, hire a corpse sweeper, so that the deceased can return to their roots and bury the bones back to their hometown.

Speaking of this Xiangxi corpse, it is really famous, it is spread to be a god, the world talks about the change of color, and the fear is like a tiger, in fact, the official name of this kind of magic is called "corpse sending technique" since ancient times, and in modern times, there is a "corpse drive" saying, Westerners call it "corpse hypnosis", in the eyes of foreigners, this kind of thing is more mysterious, Westerners have "hypnosis", that is, "hypnosis", the reason why they call it so probably refers to the meaning of hypnosis for the corpse.

Because Xiangxi Yi and Han are mixed, the geographical environment is special, countless dangerous rock peaks, rise out of thin air, the peaks and pillars stretch one after another, straight arch to the south sky, the terrain is difficult and treacherous, there is no road in the depths of the mountains, it is not realistic to carry back to the hometown for burial after death, which requires the "corpse messenger" to send the corpse, but in some places, the corpse messenger only goes once in half a year, and the dead are transported together.

The deceased died for a long time, and it was inevitable that it would decay and decay, and cremation was still very rejected in that era, and methods such as columbarium altars were never considered. Therefore, if you want to send you back to your hometown and put it in the ground, you must first try to make a zombie, which is a prerequisite.

How can we make a zombie? If you want to die without decay, you can pour mercury into the corpse, but that method is more expensive, ordinary people can't afford to use it, and it will also damage the corpse's organs. Some people use folk secret techniques, when they feel that their time is running out, they begin to take a small amount of arsenic regularly, of course, the measurement is very small, arsenic mixed with condensation pill, but also add the bone grass, Shanyin purple grass and other exotic herbs, these things as long as the proportion is appropriate, when people are alive, they do not hurt the human body much, but people stop breathing, qi and blood coagulate, they will be stiff and incorruptible, and become the kind of zombie made of medicinal power, so they have to be mortuary on the door panel for a few days, and then move into the coffin when they are completely ossified, If it is not impossible to perfuse after death, but the corpse is slightly poorly preserved, and it is easy to stink.

The mystery of sending corpses in Xiangxi, unless

It is a person who has been a corpse delivery craftsman, and outsiders have no way of knowing what is going on in this industry, because this industry is extremely mysterious, and the magic used in it will never be passed on.

"Water repellent" is the official general name, and the code on the underworld is called "a bowl of water", it is very unlucky to hit the team that sends the corpse, and such a thing on the green forest road is called hitting the water, and now it also refers to the meaning of "hitting the evil and hitting the ghost", because in the process of really sending the corpse, its magic is all based on a bowl of water, and it must be used by two people.

The two of them were divided into one front and one behind, one corpse giver was in front of the cloth banner and guided by magic, and the other person walked at the end with a bowl of clear water flat, no matter how many dead bodies were sent this time, those dead bodies walked in the middle of the line, and the corpse giver was sandwiched before and after.

In this line, the most important role of holding the water is to go through a section, and to add a spell to the water bowl, this talisman is the "burning charm to gather water and awaken the soul": open the heavens, make people immortal, three souls and seven spirits, return to the gods, three souls on the left, seven spirits on the right, listen to God's orders, but also observe the ominous, no one sees, no one knows when sitting, and is as urgent as the law! This talisman must be Xiangxi's "Chenzhou talisman", and if it is replaced by the talisman of another family, it will not work at all.

As long as the bowl of water in the hand of the person holding the water does not fall and break, the corpse will not fall. In the process of sending the corpse, the dead corpse is no different from the living, only the mouth can not speak, its walking posture is also slightly different from the living, completely follow the action of the person holding the flag, the person holding the flag walks the dead and goes, the person holding the flag stops the dead and stops, this kind of corpse sending team, in the late years of the Ming Dynasty in the Xiangxi region is too common, the Hunan proverb "three people live in the store, two people eat", it refers to the person who sends the corpse, which means that the one who does not eat in the three people is the dead person.

The day before the corpse sending team arrives at the deceased's hometown, the deceased will entrust his dream to his family, and the family will immediately put the coffin in order to complete it. As soon as the corpse arrives at home, it will stand in front of the coffin, and the person holding the water will splash the water, and the corpse will immediately pour into the coffin.

In fact, the strange art of this bowl of water, which was all done in the early years, has been lost in the Qianlong period, and the reason for its loss is probably that it is too secretive, and there are fewer and fewer people who know this secret art, and the most knowledgeable people only know such a general idea, and the principle of bringing water to the corpse is even more impossible to say.

Until the Guangxu time, many people in order to seek huge profits, the duck slices produced in Guizhou were trafficked in, and they started the idea of walking corpses and sending water, and used it as a cover to resell tobacco and munitions by virtue of the people's fear of sending corpses, and they used to send corpses as cover, which was very different from the ancient times to send corpses, but it was more tricky, although Luo Lao Crooked did not learn the secret art of sending corpses, but he used the identity of the corpse driver to traffick black goods, he made a fortune from this, and finally became a big warlord who ran rampant in Sanxiang, That's why Luo Lao was so relieved about the ugly female corpse, because he and Blind Chen knew that the dead corpses in this Yizhuang were all poured with antiseptics to control the zombies, and it was impossible to turn into corpses.

The dead people who are here will be the skin pockets of those who drive away corpse dealers to smuggle goods, but after those people use the dead to traffic black goods, they will also find a way to send the corpse back to their homeland for burial, which is not a benevolent morality, but if not, there will be no way to bluff people under the guise of "chasing corpses" in the future.

Hua Mao Gui and Red Girl and others, they are all surprised, don't look at Luo Lao's crooked mouth and slanted eyes, vulgar behavior, and "eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, killing people and setting fires" There is nothing he doesn't do, but he knows these folk secret techniques in such detail, he is indeed worthy of being the warlord leader of the deterrent side, and he is the worship brother of the thief in the mountains, seeing that he has his superiority, Hua Maogui hurriedly picked up Da Mu and flattered: "Gao Ming, it is really Gao Ming, Luo Shuai is also from the Taoist Sect, no wonder there is such a genius!" ”

Luo Lao crookedly poured two sips of soju, looking very proud, but in front of the thief Chen Blind, it was really not good to show off too much, laughing at himself: "He is a hanger, what a genius crooked, Lao Tzu was too young when he learned to drive corpses, and the master did not learn ten percent of his skills, and often did not know how to pretend to understand, I heard my adjutant say that recently there was a gentleman in the south who did learning, and wrote a good article, he said that there was no understanding in this world, but there were many people who pretended to understand, and they slowly understood, and what Mr. said was reasonable, In the future, the commander will invite him to come over and talk about it, and give me Lao Luo more knowledge that he pretends to understand. After saying that, he shook his head and smiled, and drank the pot of soju to a trickle.
