Chapter 65: Driving the corpses on the road
As soon as Lao Tang heard me say this, he immediately understood my intentions, and immediately broke the peachwood sword and began to measure it with his hands. And I wasn't idle, because it wasn't easy to pierce the throat of the old man Ma with a nine-inch-nine peachwood nail, and I had to tie him up first. So, I instructed Xiao Wu and the three of them to continue to tie the old man with a rope.
The four of us rushed up, and after a few rounds, we were tired and turned on our backs, and we were almost injured by the old man Ma several times, but we didn't succeed in tying it up.
At this time, Lao Tang had simply made the peachwood sword into a nine-inch-nine long nail, and then rushed up to stab the other party's neck, but Old Man Ma was extremely strong, his two arms were picked up, and the wind was howling, and Lao Tang couldn't get close at all. In the end, the old soup was in a hurry, and shouted to me: "This can't be done, how many corpse charms do you have there?" ”
I touched my pocket and said there were seven or eight more talismans. Lao Tang said that it was better to call all the corpse suppression talismans at one time, temporarily suppress him, and then take this opportunity to tie him up.
When I think about it, I really have to try it now.
I nodded, and then I took out all the corpse suppression talismans, and a few arrows approached Old Man Ma's body, and seven or eight spirit talismans smashed into his head.
Although the corpse talisman couldn't suppress him, the effect was still there, and as soon as several spirit talismans fell on the old man's head, he suddenly let out a miserable scream, and the whole person was shocked and flew out, lying on the ground. At the same time, the old soup they had already prepared immediately rushed up with hemp rope and tied him directly under a willow tree next to him.
As soon as the tie was finished, the old man Ma relieved himself, roared, struggled and rushed wildly, and the willow tree that was almost as thick as a thigh seemed to be about to be broken by him, which looked very scary.
I knew I couldn't wait any longer, and if the willow tree was really shaken off by him, there was no hope of holding him again. So, I quickly picked up the peach wood nail that Lao Tang had made before, pinched the trick, and stabbed it in the throat of Old Man Ma......
"Woo......"
The mahogany nail pierced his throat, and the old man let out a complaining roar, and then gradually quieted down, and finally tilted his head, and there was no more movement.
Seeing this, we finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next step is to transport the body back, and this matter is settled. At this time, Xiao Wu and the three of them came forward to untie the rope and prepare to carry the old man Ma out, but at this time, Lao Tang stopped them and didn't want them to carry them, worried that it would be troublesome if someone came into contact with the corpse and caused the corpse to deceive the corpse again.
Hearing the word corpse, Xiao Wu and the three of them suddenly changed their faces, and they were so frightened that they all took a few steps back.
In fact, Lao Tang's worries are not reasonable, although Old Man Ma is fine for the time being, as long as he is unfortunately swept away by Yang Qi, it is still possible to cheat the corpse again.
At that moment, I asked Lao Tang: "If you don't carry it, what should I do, or call Boss Ma to send a coffin over, and then carry it back?" ”
Lao Tang smiled, but he didn't have the slightest worry, he said: "With me here, we just need to drive Old Man Ma back, anyway, it's only ten miles away." ”
As soon as I heard the other party's words, I couldn't help frowning, and said in surprise: "You will drive out the corpse?" ”
Yes, I'm really surprised, chasing corpses was very popular during the Qing Dynasty, and it became extinct after liberation, and now I don't hear of any gentlemen chasing corpses in this era. And Tang Zhaofu in front of him actually said that he wanted to drive Old Man Ma back, do you think I am not surprised.
Lao Tang nodded and said, "Brother Chen, don't hide it, brother, I am actually Mr. Corpse Chaser." ”
"Huh?" I looked at him in disbelief.
"Yes, my father is a corpse chaser, and this craft is also a family heirloom, but now I don't need this craft in these days, so I changed careers and became a fortune teller." Lao Tang saw that I didn't believe it, so he explained.
I suddenly realized, and then Lao Tang asked me, should I go back by car with Xiao Wu and them, or should I be a companion with him?
I smiled, and since everyone asked me if I wanted to be his companion, it was naturally impossible for me to refuse him, so I nodded and said let's go.
Next, Lao Tang instructed Xiao Wu and the three of them to go back and report to Boss Ma first, asking them to prepare the coffin and wait for us at the funeral home, and we will arrive later.
Xiao Wu and the others left as promised, while I stared at Tang Zhaofu with interest, seeing how he drove the body away.
I saw Lao Tang take out a spirit talisman from the bag, stick it on Old Man Ma's forehead, and then take out a soul bell in his left hand and a small yin gong in his right hand. As soon as the little yin gong struck, he sang a loud sentence "Get up!" The old man Ma, who was originally lying on the ground, stood up straight, which was very amazing.
Seeing this, I opened my eyes and gave him a thumbs up. At this time, Lao Tang took out a large handful of straw paper money from his baggage and handed it to me, telling me to open the road, and scattering some paper money on both sides of the road as he walked.
I know this, this is also called "road money", this money is for those wandering lonely souls and wild ghosts, which means that those lonely souls and wild ghosts do not come to find trouble, which can be regarded as a benefit to send them away.
I immediately took the money to buy the road, and then Lao Tang sang again: "Dust to dust, dust to soil, life is so hard." Old man Ma is not outside, the soul possesses me and goes with me, and I will return to my hometown and go to the underworld as soon as possible! The old man of the Ma family is on the road! ”
After singing, the soul bell in his hand shook, and his mouth recited a "Get up!" But we were all stunned in the next scene, because the old man didn't move.
Yes, after Lao Tang shook the soul bell, Old Man Ma should have jumped and followed him, but he stood in place without moving. I was really stunned at this moment, thinking what the hell is going on?
I glanced at Lao Tang, and saw that he was also frowning slightly at this time, and it seemed that he was in trouble.
I asked him, "Old Tang, what's going on, why didn't he leave?" ”
"Corpses don't want to obey me!" Lao Tang said with a little worry.
"Huh? How so? "I was stunned, but it was the first time I had heard of such a thing. Although I was curious, I also felt that something was not good.
"Brother Chen, there is a rule in our corpse chaser shop, that is, if the decree is sung and the corpse does not move, it means that the corpse is unwilling to obey your orders. Lao Tang said.
As soon as I heard what the other party said, I couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that something will happen to Old Man Ma?" ”
"Yes, if the rules in the corpse chaser are correct, there must be something wrong with Old Man Ma." Lao Tang's face was solemn.
I took a long breath and said, "So what now?" You can't just leave it alone, is there still a way for you to get him away? ”
"If the corpse doesn't obey the order and has to be forced, it can only light the spirit guiding lamp." After saying this, Lao Tang took out a kerosene lamp from his bag, lit it, and handed it to me, asking me to lead the way with the lamp head.
I saw that the flame of this lamp was half bright and half extinguished, flickering uncertainly. Lao Tang told me that the business of chasing corpses is generally not lit, and lighting the lamp will attract lonely ghosts, because this kind of lamp is called a spirit-summoning guiding lamp, which is specially designed to point out the place of the "dead".
As soon as the conjuring guide lamp was lit, Lao Tang shook the soul bell in his hand again and shouted: "Dust to dust, dust to earth, life is so hard." Old man Ma is not outside, the soul possesses me and goes with me, and I will return to my hometown and go to the underworld as soon as possible! The old man of the Ma family is on the road! ”
"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"
As soon as the soul bell rang in this empty cemetery, this time the old man really moved, and jumped forward with the sound of the old soup bell.
In this way, I carried the spirit guide lamp in front of me, and as I walked, I scattered yellow paper money on both sides of the road, while Lao Tang shook his soul bell and the little yin gong, and walked with the old man in the middle of the horse, slowly, eeriely, and ghostly, walking in the wilderness ......<
