Chapter 12: The Corpse Chaser

"Time goes back the night before it! 》

In a certain province and city, in a barren mountain range, in a death row prison.

The night was very dark, the silver moon hung upside down in the air, the wind was very quiet, and the soul was blowing regularly.

In the prison square, on the execution table, there were already three middle-aged men kneeling with their backs upside down. The three of them knelt facing north, with a row of Xing officials in front of them and a line of Xing prison guards in their hands behind them. Under Xingxingtai, there were still a lot of prisoners and armed police officers around him, silently watching.

The night was dark and the wind was high, except for the sound of the wind, the death execution ground was very quiet. No one spoke, and suddenly, only a gust of wind was heard blowing in the west, pulling dark clouds to cover up, and the silver moon was hanging in the heart of the sky.

Among the Xingxing officials sitting on the quilt, an official looked at the watch time in his hand, and it was already 1145 minutes, and the Xingxing time was set at 12 o'clock in the sub-hour.

So, the prison warden stood up, opened the information book in his hand, and announced loudly to the three death row inmates on the execution table: "Time, June 20, 2014, at twelve o'clock when the time is set, the prison director of this province announced that Fan Moumou, Fan Moumou, and Fan Moumou's three brothers, most of them have entered criminal activities in recent years, violating laws and disciplines and committing drug crimes, robbery crimes, rape crimes, and crimes of harming others.

He was arrested in the province on May 20, 2013, and sentenced to death by the provincial Supreme Court. Now, the warden of the Dragon Prison District of this province announced that the death sentence of the criminals in Xingxing, Fan XX, Fan XX, and Fan XX is now Xingxing, and Xing will be shot immediately! After the announcement, the warden closed the information book and sat down, and a police judge on his left stood up and shouted to the three armed prison guards behind the three death row prisoners on the execution table: "Xing Xing prepare!" ”

The three armed prison guards behind the condemned prisoner loaded their rifles one after another, and each aimed them at a death row prisoner in front of them.

A minute later, the judge looked at his watch, and the bell rang at twelve o'clock.

"Start shooting!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, three crisp gunshots rang out in succession, and in the silent night, it seemed so shocking.

Each of the three condemned prisoners fell with a single headshot. A minute later, one of the judges shouted, "Check if the prisoner is dead!" ”

Several doctors dressed in white quickly ran to the criminal justice table and began to conduct death checks on the three death row inmates, and after a while, they stood up and said to the warden: "Report to the warden, the death row prisoner is dead after the examination is completed!" ”

The warden sitting on the stage nodded, he waved his hand and stood up and walked out, just now the police judge shouted: "This time, the execution of Xing criminals Fan Moumou, Fan Moumou, and Fan Moumou's brothers and three Xing criminals, on October 21, 2013, Xing was shot at 12 o'clock, and the three dead Xing criminals have been executed and died correctly, and the family members will carry the corpses!" After the judge finished speaking, a person came out of the audience!

This person, dressed in a red robe, was in his fifties, his face was thin, he looked slightly obscene and slippery, and he had a mustache. A person with this kind of face, if he puts down the war years, he is either a landlord or an old traitor with two dogs' legs!

The old Taoist priest in red walked to the Xingxing platform with a cloth hanging bag, he squatted down and checked the three dead prisoners each. He nodded with a smile on his old face, carried the three corpses to lie flat on the criminal table, and asked the prison guards to uncuff the corpses!

In the eyes of everyone, the old Taoist priest in red placed cinnabar (the best cinnabar) in seven places of the deceased's head, back heart, chest and heart, left and right hand plates, and palms of feet.

According to legend, these seven places are the places where the seven orifices enter and exit, and the purpose of sealing them with cinnabar runes is to retain the seven spirits of the deceased.

After the old Taoist priest finished doing this, he would stuff some cinnabar into the ears, nose, and mouth of the deceased, and then plug it with a divine rune (Chenzhou talisman). Legend has it that the ears, nose, and mouth are the places where the three souls enter and exit, and in doing so, their souls can remain in the body of the deceased.

Finally, the old Taoist priest also had to cover the neck of the deceased with cinnabar and paste a rune, and tie it tightly with five-colored cloth strips; Then put on a hat made of zongzi leaves to seal the deceased's face hat and put it on. A pair of straw sandals were also put on each of the deceased.

After everything was done, the red-clothed Taoist priest nodded with satisfaction, got up and stood up, his hand showed a yellow charm, his hands quickly formed a Taoist seal, he recited the charm in his mouth, and strode around the three dead people in a circle, and suddenly, he stopped and shouted: "Get up!" ”

Something frightening happens.

I saw the bodies of the three deceased, slowly standing upside down in a strange way under the shocked gaze of everyone.

When the surrounding prison guards saw this, they immediately panicked, and they all held guns and aimed at the old Taoist priest and the three corpses that stood up, and they were extremely vigilant.

"Don't panic, don't panic! This is just a secret technique in the old country, the dead are already dead! Please put your guns down and don't disturb the souls of the dead! The old Taoist priest in red smiled and said comfortingly to the nervous prison guards.

The police judge on the stage glanced at the old Taoist priest in a daze, he opened his mouth and said to the prison guard with a gun: "You all put down your guns, this is just a set of feudal superstitions, let him go!" ”

The old Taoist priest smiled and said to the police judge: "Thank you comrade police, the old Taoist will leave first!" ”

The magistrate waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry up!

The old Taoist priest no longer hesitated, he took out a straw rope, tied the three corpses one by one, tied one at a distance of seven or eight feet, and then pressed a yellow talisman on the forehead of each corpse and lit a cinnabar. The old Taoist priest himself was wearing straw sandals, with a black belt tied around his waist and some yellow charms, wearing a red cloth hat and red cloth cedar, he held a gong in one hand and a soul bell in the other!

The old Taoist priest was not behind the corpse, but led the way in front of the corpse, and he did not carry a lantern, because he was leading the three corpses forward while beating the small yin gong in his hand. He shook the dementor bell in his hand, making a crisp sound, and at the same time he shouted: "Happy gods to cross the border, gods and ghosts to disperse, buy a road to borrow, ordinary people, don't approach, hurry back home, enter the earth for peace!" ”

Shouting, the old Taoist priest "Bang...!" He kept repeating the cycle, jumping out of the prison with the three corpses that were stiff walking, and heading towards the dark woods, he shouted and rang the bell to keep the night walkers avoided, and informed those who had dogs to lock up their dogs.

The corpse chaser is also commonly known as the "corpse chaser", and the old Taoist priest's name is Wang Youcai, who is a very famous corpse chaser nearby, Wang Youcai took three corpses that walked stiffly, and walked slowly on the woods and mountain roads.

Ugly time

In the dark mountain forest, in addition to the gusts of wind and the chirping of some insects and small beasts in the woods and grass, there are vampire bats hidden in the canopy of trees or flying in the air in the dark night. Along the way, there was a large group of vampire bats, constantly following the corpses and hanging in the air, trying to suck the blood of the three corpses that had just died.

However, Wang Youcai smiled, and he didn't realize anything, he took out a yellow talisman from his waist, and without even reciting the spell, he threw it directly into the group of bats hanging in the air, "Bang!" There was a bang.

A ball of fire erupted in the air, like a small fireball, scaring the squeaky screams of the vampire bats and fled!

Wang Youcai ignored it, he shook the soul bell and beat the small yin gong, shouting: "Happy gods cross the border, people and ghosts retreat, buy a road and borrow ............!" "The sound along the way in this silent and dark woods is so eerie and terrifying, like a ghost sound! But luckily, nothing happened along the way!

Wang Youcai led the three corpses forward slowly, through the dense woods, to an autumn yellow field, the night silence of the field chickens and insects, suddenly disrupted their rhythm by uninvited guests.

In front of the field is a village, and at this time, an old man who was getting up to release water suddenly heard a crisp bell and gong sound in the distance, the old man was in a trance, busy listening, his expression became more and more panicked, and muttered, "Hey, this voice has not appeared for nearly twenty or thirty years, is it possible that someone has started to do that thing again?" ”

"Bah, good luck, good luck," the old man chirped. Without worrying about pulling his pants, he trotted into the house and closed the door tightly, and a big black dog at the head of the village turned in a circle in a panic when he heard the bell, "barked" a few times at the field in the distance, and turned his head and ran into the village!

Wang Youcai looked ahead, the hazy small village, he paused, and walked towards the small mountain road behind the village with a happy spirit.

This corpse chaser is actually a very strange activity, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is unlucky to see this kind of thing, so the corpse chasers have their route! Specifically walking on the mountain trails, and definitely not walking on the village road and the official road, driving the corpse in a crowded place, which will scare people and scare the corpse, and the two households are not good!

After walking a mile through the small village, on the grassy slope.

As soon as the bell rang, Wang Youcai suddenly shouted: "Stop!" The three corpses also stopped strangely, Wang Youcai looked up at the full moon painted with silver in the air, he nodded and said: "Look at this moon elephant, it's time to find a place to stay!" ”

Wang Youcai wanted to pay attention, he rang the bell and shouted: "Get up!" ”

Shouting, he continued to lead Xishen up the slope and walked towards a dark rice dumpling forest, less than a few hundred meters away, a vague shadow of a building appeared in front of him.

When I got closer, I saw that this was a small house with blue tiles and earth walls, and this earthen house was already dilapidated, leaving only a few broken adobe bricks on all sides, which randomly supported the top of the green tiles to prevent it from collapsing. The two wooden doors in the front were closed, and a white lantern full of black dust was hung on the front door beam, which lit up the miserable yellow and dark light, illuminating the four big characters "Xishen Inn" engraved on the lintel.

This is the "Dead Corpse Inn", this mysterious Dead Corpse Inn, the whole of this mysterious Dead Corpse Inn, there is no movement of any small beasts around, not even the chirping of an insect, only a gust of yin wind that penetrates people's hearts, hinting that this is an unusual ghost place!

Wang Youcai didn't care much about it, this kind of ghost place, in his eyes, was already like his back garden, which was not surprising.

He shook the copper bell in the emperor's hand, and suddenly shouted: "Stop!" ”

The three happy gods stopped quietly, Wang Youcai came to the earth house dead body inn, and looked at the dilapidated earth house in a daze, he smiled and said: "I didn't expect it, I haven't taken this road for so many years, and I don't know if the old friends in it are okay!" ”

Saying that, Wang Youcai took a small step forward, bowed to the dead corpse inn, walked three steps to the door, he stretched out his hand on the broken wooden door, knocked lightly, paused for a second and then knocked twice! shouted: "Heaven and earth do not receive, the land does not stay, the east comes to the west and returns to the east, the god of joy crosses the border to buy and pass by, borrow your store today, and the gold bricks are included in your cabinet!" After shouting, but there was no movement in the house, Wang Youcai, who had been waiting for a while, sighed lightly, frowned slightly, and came twice as such, but there was still no movement in the house, which puzzled him, could it be that the people in here were gone?

Wang Youcai was not sure, he took three steps back, looked at the sky, and it would be almost dawn in more than an hour, if he couldn't find a place to stay, it would be a trouble for him. Immediately, he frowned, looking at the Dead Inn, he felt that the people inside should be gone, so he boldly wanted to enter and spend the night.

So he took three steps forward and bowed to the door: "The sky is not collected, the earth is not left, the east comes to the west and returns to the east, the god of joy crosses the border to buy and borrow, and the guest falls back in the cabinet, the sun curtain is approaching, borrow your home today, the heavenly lord, the underground lord of Hades, sin and sin!" ”

After Wang Youcai finished speaking, he straightened his waist and stretched out his hand to push open the wooden door of the dead corpse inn, "Crunch...!" There was a crisp sound, and the room was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers! Wang Youcai looked at the house, nodded and confirmed that the old friend was gone, he turned around and went out to the three happy gods in front of the door, he shook the soul bell, and shouted: "The sky must be collected, the earth must be kept, go back to the hometown, enter the cabinet!" ”

The three joyful bodies moved at the same time, and the stiff corpses jumped neatly into the house! Wang Youcai smiled, closed the door of the house, he untied the three corpses, and stood in a row on the wooden door!

Wang Youcai smiled and nodded and thought it was okay, so he found a kerosene lamp on an old table of eight immortals in the house, lit it and lit it up, illuminating some scenes in the whole house! Wang Youcai looked around, the house was very old and dilapidated, all four walls were full of dry wood and withered grass, and a worn, rickety and broken bed, but there was a wooden door behind the wall! It should lead to the backyard, which is where the innkeeper lives!

Wang Youcai thought about it, and felt that it was better to go in and take a look, he picked up the kerosene lamp, walked to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed it open, but it was not dim and dark as he imagined, but the back room was lit up with a fiery red light!

Wang Youcai was shocked, and when he saw the back house, in the fiery red room, his expression was furious, and he couldn't help shouting: "Who is the demon, dare to do something here!" ”
