Daling Mountain is the top of Xiangxi and the source of water. Along the way, I listened to Bao Weng tell me about Daling Mountain, and I couldn't help but have a trace of yearning for this mountain that I had never heard of, but I could only find time to visit it in the future.

The highest peak of Daling Mountain is more than 1,700 meters, with mountains and mountains, and strange rocks. In addition to the water, there are no big rivers and rivers in the mountains, because they are decomposed by countless karst caves at the bottom of the mountain, and there are countless underground rivers, which is a paradise for many adventurers.

It is precisely because there are too many dark rivers that except for a few major peaks, they have not been effectively developed and are not well-known.

However, because of the geographical location, this place has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and at that time, many people in the south went to the north where the economy and agriculture were more developed to make a living, and many people died outside.

Just like the inch-headed man said, the mountain road of Daling Mountain can save a lot of time, people can walk, and trucks will naturally have to go.

We first took a car, then simply rented a van and went straight to Daling Mountain.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the last ray of sunlight disappeared into the sky, and we also entered Daling Mountain as we wished, got off the car and began to follow Uncle Bao Weng on the mountain road.

"When a person dies, can a corpse really move on its own?" We had already had dinner before entering the mountain, and at this time I was full of strength and light steps, and asked the second uncle as we walked.

"Of course!" The second uncle smiled: "Scientifically, human death is divided into brain death and heart death, or heart and lung death. The brain controls various functions such as the human heart, breathing, and excretion, as well as the balance system and thinking system, all of which belong to brain control. Cardiopulmonary death, on the other hand, can be understood as a temporary loss of respiratory function. With the development of modern medicine, some means can be used to achieve cardiopulmonary resuscitation after cardiopulmonary death, and there is no way to save brain death so far. ”

I pretended to look at the second uncle with a look of admiration: "Second uncle, I didn't expect it, you are knowledgeable, rich in five cars, Yushu is in the wind, and your temperament is extraordinary......"

"Stop!" The second uncle really couldn't listen to it anymore: "You kid has learned this knowledge in junior high school!" In the past, most people died of exhaustion, which belonged to cardiopulmonary death, of course, after cardiopulmonary death, due to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, they would soon be brain dead. But the brain is a wonderful thing. You know, Zhu Youke also has some so-called witchcraft or something, but in fact, they all use waves of the human brain, such as the legendary third eye. ”

"So you mean that before the heart and lungs die and the brain is not dead, you can use a sound or something else to imitate the waves of the brain, keep the brain running, and control the corpse to move forward?" I guessed.

"That's right, you're an apprentice!" The second uncle snorted: "The so-called Xiangxi corpse is roughly like this." It is precisely because of this principle that many people who chase corpses in legends encounter corpses that cannot be driven away, and they think that it is a powerful ghost, but in fact, that person is just brain dead, so naturally they can't drive away the corpse. ”

"Then why, the inch-headed man said that the corpse chaser was 'holding the black cat'?" I still have doubts.

"This ......" The second uncle didn't seem to be able to explain, and looked at Bao Weng beside him.

"The black cat wards off evil spirits." Bao Weng smiled: "Most of the corpse chasers will hold a black cat, at the beginning it was to strengthen the courage, and later found that the cat's sense of smell is particularly sensitive, in the process of chasing the corpse, there are a few people will be alive for a short time, that is, the heart and lungs are briefly resuscitated, they think it is a fraudulent corpse, haunted, every time this time, the black cat will be found in advance, even in sleep, will suddenly wake up and bark towards the back." Because black cats are domesticated, they are particularly obedient, and the hanging bell worn around their necks will make a sound when they move violently, which is just considered to be a reminder that the corpse chaser must have a corpse to 'cheat the corpse', so it has become a kind of symbol of the corpse chaser. ”

"So that's the case......" I smiled bitterly: "Chase out the corpse, this kind of very strange thing made the second uncle and Uncle Bao Weng say this, why did they suddenly lose their style, and they are almost like special technicians." ”

"It's pretty much the same!" The second uncle patted me with a smile: "No one has done the business of chasing corpses, although the income of this trip has been very high since the emergence of this industry, but who wants to make such a friend?" Therefore, the average corpse chaser is very ugly, and the ugly can't make friends, so there is no way to become a corpse chaser. ”

"Really?" I looked at the second uncle suspiciously.

"Really." Bao Weng said on the side: "If you are lucky, you may be able to meet one." ”

I don't know why, I was thrilled when I heard this: although I am very interested in chasing corpses, it really makes me see someone holding a black cat in the deep mountains and old forests, leading a string of corpses away, which is really creepy!

The road ahead became more and more difficult to walk, and in order to get rid of the stalkers who had never appeared behind him, Bao Weng deliberately chose a few small paths that few people knew about, until about nine o'clock in the evening, I was too tired to straighten my waist.

"Hey, Uncle Bao Weng, if you go on like this, you will die!" I held on to a tree next to me and gasped, "Let's find a place to rest!" ”

Bao Weng stopped, looked around, pointed to a valley not far away, and said, "If I remember correctly, there should be a small town there, in fact, it is the place where people passing by stay, and it should still be there now, go and take a look, I'm tired too." ”

I nodded as if I had been amnesty, and hurried over.

Luckily, when I was carrying the moonlight on my back and my body was about to freeze through, I finally saw the "town" with only seven or eight huts! But in this town, there is only one house with the lights on at this time, and when we walked over, before we could knock on the door, the second uncle stopped us.

"What's wrong?" Bao Weng had been here before, and he couldn't figure out what the second uncle was going to do for a while.

"Bao Weng, this place, the place of great evil!" The second uncle frowned slightly, looked around and said in a deep voice.

"The big murderer?" Although Bao Weng is not bad at kung fu, he doesn't know anything about feng shui, so he followed the second uncle and looked around: "What do you say?" ”

"The front is empty and the back is solid, the four walls are empty, the two locust trees in the east and west are in a double evil trend, plus they are surrounded by two rows of small buildings, and the double eaves seal the sky, a fierce place!"

"Squeak-"

As the second uncle was talking, the door of the house was pushed open from the inside, and a middle-aged woman in her forties leaned out half of her body: "Who?!" ”

The woman was not tall, wide and fat, her hair was scorched yellow on her shoulders, her face was like dirt, her eyes were black, her eyes were protruding, her voice was like that of a duck, harsh and ugly, and she had a strange accent, which made people feel very uncomfortable to listen to.

"Huh? Not really! Seeing that we were living, the woman glanced at Bao Weng dressed in Miao Village and walked out: "Where do you live in the hotel?" ”

"Well, excuse me!" Bao Weng seemed to be frightened when he heard what the second uncle said about this room just now: "I just want to ask, why is our family open in this neighborhood?" ”

Looking at Bao Weng while talking and looking at this house, I almost laughed: I didn't expect that the owner of a Miao village would be afraid to live in such a place!

"It's nice to have one open!" The woman gestured as she spoke: "Look at the present, there are no passers-by, there was a convoy passing by here every day before, and I was lucky to meet the Black Cat team, but now it doesn't work, people come to check in the mountains from time to time, and I can't receive a few people for a week, so I'm left alone!" ”

Team Black Cats?! It's a corpse chaser! I felt a pang in my heart, knowing what this so-called inn does, and I guess it used to be a "corpse inn".

"That makes sense!" The second uncle also nodded slightly: "Such a fierce momentum, it turned out to suppress another fierce momentum." ”

"What?!" When the woman heard what the second uncle said, she pinched her waist and asked.

"It's okay, sister, we'll stay at your house!" Bao Weng hurriedly played the round.

"Come in!" The woman looked at me, turned around and led us in.

The antechamber was small, with four square tables, and the dim light bulbs had formed a layer of black dust, which was struggling to illuminate the room.
