Now I realize that Shadow is not a strange man, in fact he is already dead. When I saw him last night, he was already in the state of the "living dead".

Shadow told me that he had died in an accident three years earlier. But on the verge of death, his ghost was sealed in his body and became a walking corpse.

This method is so amazing that even I can't see how different he is from a normal person. The obvious difference between a shadow and a living person is that he cannot appear during the day.

During the day he hides in an eerie basement, his body soaked in a special solution. The reason why he has extraordinary strength is also because his body has been soaked in that solution.

Shadow's body was almost completely destroyed last night, and after going back, he was barely able to come out to see people after some repairs. However, this has led to a serious weakening of his strength, otherwise Xiaobai would not be his opponent at all.

Xiaobai sighed slightly: "From the beginning, I knew that you were releasing water. Otherwise, I won't be able to wait for the sails to come, and I will already die in your hands. ”

The corpses that fell in the grove were also "living dead", and they were all along the way with the shadows. Of course, the strength of those corpses is not as good as that of shadows, and Rao is so, and he also forced Xiaobai to choke enough.

When Xiaobai dealt with those corpses, the shadow had been standing by and watching, and did not attack Xiaobai. In the end, all the corpses were resolved, and the shadow had no intention of fighting, but fought with Xiaobai to lose both.

From this point alone, Xiaobai is grateful for the mercy of the shadow men. If he hadn't been forced to be helpless, Xiaobai wouldn't have wanted the shadow to "die".

After smoking the second cigarette, the shadow stood up with some difficulty and smiled freely: "There is only so much that I can tell you, Chen Fan, do it." ”

I also stood up, threw down the cigarette butt in my hand, stepped on it with my foot, and said in a deep voice: "Shadow, can I trust you?" ”

The shadow smiled again: "As the saying goes, people are good when they die, and their words are good, I don't need to lie to you." Promise me that you must send Tian Xin to the crematorium, and I believe you can save Qin Xue! ”

"Need this way to save Qin Xue? She clearly told me that I would do whatever it took to prevent Tian Xin from going to the crematorium. I frowned.

The shadow sighed deeply: "She just wants to get rid of her fate and be free." But you can't believe her words, because now she can't control her consciousness. ”

I was about to ask something, but the shadow suddenly reached out and patted me on the shoulder: "I've said enough, if I keep talking, she'll be angry if she finds out." Do it, or I'll have to come by myself. ”

As I said this, I suddenly felt a chill emanating from his body, and a foul smell gradually emanated from his body.

I felt a pang in my heart, the shadow's body was rotting at a very fast rate, and he was "threatening" me. If he takes action by himself and forcibly gets rid of this body, he will definitely end up in a dispossessed end.

At this point, I couldn't refuse his request. Although my heart is still full of doubts, and there are still many questions I want to ask Shadow, but now I can only be forced to send his ghost away, at least so that I can save his ghost.

After taking out a talisman and pasting it on the shadow's forehead, he fell silent and his corpse stopped decaying. Then I held my breath and made all the preparations, and I drove his ghost out of my body.

A dark wind blew, and a dark shadow emerged from the shadow's body. His body was like a leaky balloon, deflated in the blink of an eye, and his whole body turned into a pile of white bones in a moment.

The strong rancid smell almost made me faint, and Xiaobai even covered his nose with his hand. Neither of us had any intention of turning away, staring straight at the vanishing black shadow.

"Thank you, finally relieved. Promise me that you must rescue Qin Xue......" The shadow's voice echoed in his ears.

I don't know if it's a hallucination, but I nodded solemnly. The black shadow gradually melted into the night, and it was no longer distinguishable, and the shadow finally died after three years.

I stood in silence for a long time, constantly thinking about every detail of my contact with Qin Xue and the shadow. The words of the shadow should really be worth believing, right?

Qin Xue's performance tonight was so weird that I couldn't help but get goosebumps when I thought about it. The temperament she exudes tonight is completely different from before, and it seems to be a different person.

The shadow said that Qin Xue's words could not be believed, because she could no longer control her consciousness now. And the shadow will become the living dead, which should also be related to Qin Xue. There must be some secret hidden in this, but unfortunately the shadow has never been willing to mention it.

Coming back from my contemplation, I found that Xiaobai had squatted on the ground at some point, lit three cigarettes, and placed them next to the corpse of the shadow.

It's not appropriate to say that the corpse is no longer appropriate, and the corpse of the shadow has long since become a skeleton. Looking closely, the skeleton was a little blackened, which was a manifestation of severe erosion by Yin Qi.

Then Xiaobai stood up, lit a cigarette by himself, handed me the cigarette case casually, and said something in his mouth: "Dude, you don't have to suffer anymore when you get down, you have a good baby, and you like a normal woman in your next life." ”

I don't have to think about it, I also know that Xiaobai has sketched an emotional drama in his mind according to the various performances of the shadow. And with Xiaobai's character, he will definitely disdain the feelings of the shadow, and bitter love has never had anything to do with Xiaobai.

I took the cigarette case, but I wasn't ready to smoke, but stared at Xiaobai. It's hard to see Xiaobai's face in the night, and I just want to confirm my inner thoughts from his subtle mood swings.

"It's so hard to smoke, I don't know why it's so expensive. Sail, what do you see? I'm straight, don't stare at me, I won't like you! After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Xiaobai threw the cigarette on the ground with a disgusted expression.

The corners of my mouth twitched unconsciously, I was already immune to Xiaobai's joke. Lao Tzu is also straight, and Ya's narcissism has to have a limit, and you think he really eats both men and women?

"Xiaobai, I want to ask you ......"

Before I finished speaking, Xiaobai interrupted me with a wave of his hand: "Loved! ”

I resisted the urge to kill him, and said in a deep voice, "Your uncle! ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm used to it. Don't ask nonsense, don't you believe it, don't you believe the old man? Hurry up and take Tian Xin to the crematorium. Xiaobai's apology is insincere.

From his performance, I was convinced that I didn't need to ask any more questions. Before I could speak, he knew what I was going to ask and gave an answer that I couldn't refute.

That's right, even if Xiaobai is likely to be controlled and lie to me. But there is a shadow of grandpa in this matter, and I have no need to doubt it at all.

Looking at Tian Xin, who was lying quietly under the tree, I had mixed thoughts. One wrong step, one wrong step, if I go the wrong way, it will definitely hurt her.

But I have no choice but to trust Xiaobai now. For Tian Xin's disposal, grandpa seems to have made arrangements for it and left me a rattle.

"This is the Soul Bell, the old man said that the notes recorded how to use it."

I quickly flipped out the notes in my arms, asked Xiaobai to light the lighter, and found how to use the soul bell.

The Soul Bell looks similar to the one used by Taoist priests in Hong Kong zombie films, and as we all know, this is the iconic magic weapon of the Xiangxi Corpse Exorcism School.

The props used in the movie are also made in the style of authentic Dementor Bells. The bloody zombie movies once made the corpse chasers famous.

But in fact, grandpa mentioned to me a few words that the corpse chasing faction's corpse chasing techniques are not as magical as in the movie. The real scene of the corpse is rarely seen.

The reason why the corpse expulsion faction flourished at that time was mainly because the transportation was not developed and the methods of preserving the corpse were not perfect. Unlike now, a hearse, a crystal coffin, and the transportation of corpses for thousands of miles is only a day's work.

With the popularity of cremation, many people directly transport the ashes of the deceased back for convenience, which can save a lot of transportation costs.

Of course, in the area of Xiangxi, as well as in some remote mountainous areas with inconvenient transportation, the corpse chasing sect still has the value of existence, but it is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

It has been an established custom for thousands of years to return to the roots and settle in the soil. In those days, the corpses of people who died in a foreign land were often handed over to the corpse chasers and then transported to their hometowns.

Before driving out the corpse, the corpse chaser will first embalm the corpse, and then perform a ritual to lure the corpse and ghost of the deceased back to their hometown with a soul bell.

The use of the Soul Bell has always been a secret of the corpse chaser faction, and it is said that the corpse chaser divides the human ghost in two. Some of the Yin Spirits are trapped in the body, and the other part is sealed inside the Soul Bell, so that the corpse can follow the Soul Bell.

No one has been able to confirm the truth of this rumor, and I thought there would be an answer in the notebook, but I was a little disappointed when I opened it.

According to the notes, the ancestor had befriended a corpse chaser in Xiangxi, and learned the basic usage of the soul bell from the corpse chaser's hand.

The ancestor's account of this experience is vague, and the grandfather's translation of this account is even more sketchy. From my grandfather's translation, I only learned one mantra.

"The old man said, you don't have to worry about anything else. You only need to chant the spell and shake the soul bell to let Tian Xin follow you. Xiaobai explained.

I nodded helplessly, it was actually not easy to learn this spell. The corpse expulsion method of the corpse expulsion faction has always been secret, and it is estimated that the ancestors also used some secret method to exchange the basic technique of using the soul bell.

It's just that I don't know if Tian Xin's yin soul is really split in two and sealed in the soul bell, so I have to ask my grandfather about this.

Gently shake the soul bell with your hand, and the quiet woods echo with a crisp bell, which makes the woods even quieter and more gloomy.

I tried to recite the incantation silently, and Tian Xin's body trembled slightly. Before Tian Xin stood up, I didn't dare to stop at all, and shook the soul bell even harder.

Suddenly, Tian Xin felt as if he had been shocked, and his limbs twitched suddenly. Then, she slowly stood up, her movements looking stiff.

At this time, Tian Xin was still closing his eyes, lowering his head, and walking in a very strange posture. It looks like it's jumping, it's like it's throwing forward, and it looks like it's going to fall at any moment.

I breathed a sigh of relief, Tian Xin's reaction now was normal. At this point, I can pause for a moment. Next, every time you take three steps forward, shake the soul bell, and Tian Xin will automatically follow.

"Meow!"

The cat's meow suddenly sounded, and I shuddered, and the damn black cat was here again?
