.., the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Yin Tomb Curse!

A few people walked along Wah Shing Street for a few minutes, and my eyes were always drawn to the small shops and vendors on both sides of the road. All the vendors are dressed in similar "fancy clothes", I think this should be the "casual clothes" of the Miao people! To be honest, it's not the same as what it appears on TV.

Soon, a row of five-story buildings appeared on our left-hand side, and a large sign was erected on the second floor, with several gilded characters "Guiyang Hotel" written on it.

"It's here!"

Beibei pointed to the hotel lobby and walked in chewing gum.

"Hello! How many are you? "The reception of the hotel was very polite to greet and talk.

"We were arranged by the old man, there are five of us!" Beibei replied softly.

"Oh? There are a total of five rooms, please get the room card here! ”

The reception immediately became respectful.

Old man? What kind of person is he! Could it be the person who called him just now?

The receptionist led us to the service room on the side, and took out three room cards "202, 203, 204, 205, 206" from it.

The reception led us up to the second floor, which was covered with a dark yellow carpet all the way, which looked very luxurious.

"Hello! You've booked a VIP room, right in front," he said, handing the room card to Beibei. ”

After Beibei took the room card, the receptionist bowed: "The hotel provides dinner, and when it is time to eat, it will be sent directly to the room, if there is anything, you can call me directly, and the phone number after the VIP card can find me directly." After saying that, he smiled and turned around and returned to the first floor.

I understood what the reception meant, after all, he didn't know what the relationship between the five of us was, and it was not suitable to help us arrange a room, so it was the most appropriate thing to do.

Beibei looked at the room card and handed 202 to her grandfather, 203 to Lao Huang, 204 to me, 205 to Wang Qianmo, and 206 for herself.

"Let's go back to our rooms! I'll take a shower first. ”

Wang Qianmo squeezed his eyes at me, I guess I really wanted to sleep in a room with me, but I was ashamed to speak.

I winked at her too, meaning I'd be looking for you in the evening.

Sweep the door frame with the room card, and the door "jingles" open.

I'll go! I was amazed when I saw the layout of the hotel, it was too luxurious, right? Could it be that this is the legendary "Presidential Suite"?

Putting down my luggage, I walked around, damn this is more spacious than the average house, there is a living room, a bathroom, a game room on the side, chess and poker on the table, and a Xiaobawang learning machine plugged into the TV.

I casually picked up a bottle of black tea on the table and drank it all, and my mood was described as "cool".

I didn't change my clothes along the way, I guess my body smelled, and when I saw that the conditions in the hotel were so good, I quickly took off myself as a "white chicken", and then came to a big bath.

After taking a shower, I called Wang Qianmo, and the phone rang for more than ten seconds, but she didn't answer.

I turned on the TV and tuned to Guizhou TV.

It just so happened that the natural scenery of Guizhou was broadcast on TV.

After watching it for about ten minutes, my mobile phone rang, and I saw that it was Wang Qianmo.

"Hey! Momo, I didn't answer your phone just now. ”

"Oh—I just took a shower, didn't hear me!"

"Tired, right? It's still early for dinner, so why don't we go down for a walk? ”

"You're not tired, are you? I'm so tired...... Don't you go—you're coming to me in the evening, aren't you? I'll get some sleep first. ”

"Oh well! Sleep! ”

I know that Wang Qianmo is motion sickness, although the train is relatively stable compared to the car, but it is enough to sit for a long time.

After deducting the phone, I turned off the TV casually, and I also lay down in bed, feeling a little bored.

Look at the time, it's less than five o'clock, when I went upstairs, I deliberately looked at the hotel's meal time, dinner was seven o'clock.

What to do? I tossed and turned, and I didn't feel sleepy.

At this time, the phone rings again.

Could it be that Momo has changed his mind again? I was overjoyed and hurriedly picked up my phone, but what I saw was an unfamiliar number.

"Hey, is it a little evil?"

There was a crisp girl's voice on the phone.

"You ......"

"I'm Beibei! Can't you hear that? ”

"Oh! I just didn't expect it – how do you know my phone number? ”

"My grandpa has it on his phone, and I'll go to my phone - what's going on, let's go down and have a look?"

"Oh? All right! I'm bored! ”

"That's good! You asked the three of them just now, your relatives want to sleep for a while, my grandfather and your uncle are playing chess, and there are only two of us left! Let's go! ”

After deducting the phone, I hurriedly put on my shoes, took more than 1,000 yuan from my bag, and went out.

As soon as I exited, I saw Beibei standing in the hallway and smiling at me.

She had changed into a pink tracksuit, white travel shoes, her hair was originally tied up, but at this time it was also scattered, and with her super sense of smell, I could still smell a faint fragrance.

Needless to say, this girl has just taken a bath.

When the two of them left the hotel, Beibei asked me with a smile: "I saw that you were very interested in both sides of the road just now!" Is it to look at people or things? ”

"Oh! I haven't been out since I was a child, and I belong to the kind of 'short knowledge', which is in Guizhou, curious! Take a look. ”

"That's it! Then I can give you a free tour guide! ”

"Be my tour guide? Have you been here? It's familiar! ”

"Hehe-I haven't been here, but before I came this time, I looked up a lot of information - otherwise, you think my grandfather brought me here so easily!"

She paused, and then said, "Your sister and I got the tour guide certificate when I was an undergraduate, and it's no problem to be a tour guide for the little evil brother!" ”

I nodded, and then I saw several girls in Miao costumes, and my eyes were drawn to it.

"Huh! Miao clothes look good! ”

I casually replied, "Beautiful! It's so pretty! ”

Miao costumes, Miao language called "vomit yawning", and Miao costumes are the most gorgeous costumes in all national costumes in our country, which is not only a wonderful flower in Chinese culture, but also a treasure of history and culture. The Miao area of western Hunan and the Miao area of eastern Guizhou prefer silver ornaments, and some areas of southern Guizhou prefer shell ornaments, while the Miao costumes in the western dialect area have few silver ornaments. ”

I nodded, and said in my heart, no wonder almost all of them are "dressed in gold and silver".

The two walked side by side for a while, and I bought a few snacks for Beibei that I couldn't name, and of course I also left one for Wang Qianmo.

Beibei laughed so happily that she trembled.

"Little evil, your kung fu for coaxing girls was practiced after college, right?"

Listening to Beibei's words, I was actually a little surprised—along the way, I didn't mention that I went to college! How would she know?

Maybe it's from Lao Huang or Wang Qianmo! I said in my heart.

Seeing that she seemed to be smiling or not smiling, I couldn't figure out whether it was praise or sarcasm, so I changed the topic with a smile: "Classmate Beibei, why do you say that this Miao costume is so good-looking!" And so much more! ”

"You just know! Miao clothing is one of the most beautiful and beautiful costumes in the world today. These colorful costumes are inscribed with the historical changes of this mysterious people through hardships, the vision of a better life and the condensation of the living environment of the past and present. Historians call it 'a history book worn on the body'. ”

Without waiting for me to speak, Beibei leaned her face over and continued, "Actually, in addition to costumes and witchcraft, there is another very famous thing in this area, do you know what it is?" ”

Seeing her mysterious look, I subconsciously shook my head.

"Have you ever heard of the corpse chasers in Xiangxi?"

I nodded and replied, "I read a horror book last year, which is about the corpse chasers in Xiangxi - but I think everything written in the book is made up, right?"

Beibei shook her head and suddenly changed the topic: "Let's go drink some 'He'er Show' unique to the Miao people!" ”

I didn't understand, so I hurriedly asked, "What are you drinking?" ”

"This is the Miao language, which is a kind of sour soup, which is made of green vegetables, radish leaves, cabbage, washed and cooked, and boiled in a little special sour water, which can be appetizing and help food, and can also quench thirst and refresh the mind." As she spoke, she pointed to a shop on the side, on which were written three big words "He'er Xiu".

The two of them found a corner and sat down, she leaned towards me, and whispered, "I'll tell you about Xiangxi's corpse!" In fact, the real Xiangxi corpse is even more terrible than the middle one, and it has something to do with what we came here this time! ”

"What? We're not...... Didn't you go to a seedling village! Why are you involved in chasing corpses again? ”

Beibei lowered her voice and said: "A lot of things, grandpa may have hidden it from you, in fact, corpse exorcism and Gu art are the same thing, to be exact, it is said that corpse expulsion technique is a kind of Gu technique." ”

Beibei's account is very scattered, and I have compiled it as follows:

The witchcraft of the Miao people belongs to the Chu witch culture! There are two types of witchcraft of the Miao people: black and white.

"Xiangxi corpse" is a kind of Wuchu culture, belongs to white witchcraft, but also popular in Xiangxi a mysterious legend, the famous Miao writer Shen Congwen wrote in one of his articles: "After Chenzhou (now Yuanling), that place out of cinnabar, and someone will drive the corpse. If you have good eyes, you will have the opportunity to see a group of dead bodies walking on the road, and when the car approaches, you will know to avoid the roadside, exactly like a living person. ”

According to the people of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi, and Xupu counties in Xiangxi, who have the strange customs of driving out corpses, they said: The corpses are not for people to see, and the corpses are day and night, who dares to go out to see the dead people who will walk in the middle of the night?

However, according to the innkeeper, the dead man did not carry him on his back, but the dead man himself jumped and walked like a sparrow, because the corpse was driven by a hotel, so they knew better that there was indeed only one person who drove three or five corpses.

According to the unanimous version of the locals, the person who drove the corpse was a mage in Taoist robes, and he drove it alone, regardless of the number of corpses.

In terms of its actual form, it is better to say "to drive" the corpse than to "lead", because the mage is not behind the corpse, but leads the way in front of the corpse, striking the gong as he walks, so that night walkers can avoid it, and those who have dogs lock up the dogs. When there is more than one corpse, they are connected with straw ropes, one every six or seven feet.

When walking at night, the corpses wore tall felt hats, and several pieces of yellow paper with talismans were pressed on their foreheads, which hung down on their faces. The inn that is in the business of chasing corpses does not close its doors all year round, of course, during the day and at night.

Because behind the two large doors is the place where the corpse rests. The corpse chaser drove the corpse, arrived at the "corpse shop" before dawn, and quietly left at night. The corpses were all standing neatly against the wall behind the door panels. When it was difficult to walk in heavy rain, I stopped in the store for a few days and nights.

Regarding the mystery of the corpse in Xiangxi, Beibei is not a rumor.

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, this technique was used to transport the bodies of Hunan immigrants who had died in Sichuan back to their hometowns.

In the initial transportation process, the body was transported by water, and there was no need to "rush".

However, in this section of the Three Gorges, the water is turbulent, the whirlpools and reefs are dense, and ships often sink. In the Qing Dynasty, there were people who were officials in Beijing, and when they bought books in their spare time, they had to be in triplicate.

When there are many old books and the old man returns to his hometown, he enters the river by waterway, books and literature, and transports them back in three ships. In the end, it was lucky, two ships were sunk, and there were still copies of the ships left.

From the downstream to the upstream, the boat against the current is not fast, and it still has to sink to the bottom, and the difficulty of the Shu Road can be seen. Therefore, the boat is the most risky in the Yangtze River, and the ancients were superstitious and were never willing to carry the dead on the dangerous river, so the profession of "driving corpses" was born.

In the professional terminology of the corpse chaser, there is no "dead corpse" or "dead man" title, the dead man is called "Xi Shen" (the homonym of the dead), each time the corpse is driven, there must be more than two corpses, otherwise it is not called to drive, it is called "back", find a bold person to carry the dead back to it.

When there were more than two corpses, in the evening, "sir" began to do so. Set up an altar, light incense, burn paper, and dispose of the corpse like this, and then set off.

Every time he rang the bell, the rope tightened in his hand, and the corpse team took a step forward—slowly. They walked the wilderness trails off the beaten track, and "Mister" calculated the distance, and when it was almost dawn, he could always find a small inn for the corpse chasers, and rest on the spot.

As for the dead men, there were places to park them—the little inns, without exception, had heavy, black-lacquered wooden doors that opened inward. Behind this door is where the corpse stands.

The custom of taboo children playing behind the door in Xiangxi should stem from this incident.

Listening to Beibei talk about this, I suddenly thought of Hong Kong Lin Zhengying's zombie movie, the Taoist priest's method of controlling the corpse with bells and Taoist talismans in the movie is exactly the same as the corpse chasing technique of the corpse chaser in Xiangxi described by Beibei, it is estimated that it is "borrowed"!

The proprietress smiled and served two bowls of sour soup, and after I took a sip, I shivered with soreness.

"Beibei, you've talked a lot about this, it's actually similar to what I saw in it! I didn't understand why the corpse was following the chaser. ”

Beibei smiled slightly again, hooked her hand, and I hurriedly leaned my head over.

"Little evil, didn't I just say that? The corpse exorcism is actually a kind of witchcraft and evil magic, in fact, the so-called corpse exorcism is to use a corpse Gu to control the corpse. She looked at no one on either side, lowered her voice and continued, "Actually, my grandfather is a descendant of the corpse chasers in Xiangxi, and he came here to find something!" ”
