For four or five days after Luo Buzhai told his father about the zombies, the people of Li Jiaao heard the sound of zombies jumping in front of their homes every night. Luo Buzhai told the people in Li Jiaao not to peek at the zombies, so as not to be remembered by the zombies after being seen. In the Nyingchi area, as long as the weak lang finds out that you have seen it, it will chase you like a shadow until it dies, or you become a weak lang like it. Luo Buzhai and his father have the same worries.

Although I haven't heard of anyone picking up a corpse nearby, I still try not to look at it and not be seen by it.

Four or five days later, an ugly-looking man arrived in Thrush Village.

As soon as he reached the place of Laohe, he was chased and teased by a group of naughty children, some of whom threw him with small stones, some poked him with small wooden sticks, and some drove their own local dogs to scare him. So, he quickly caught the attention of the people of Thrush Village.

That man was really ugly. At that time, the crooked Taoist who was famous for catching ghosts in Thrush Village had not yet been born, but according to his grandfather's recollection, that man was even uglier than the crooked Taoist. The crooked Taoist priest is ugly enough because he is exposed to too much yin qi, his facial features are distorted, and his body is crooked. But not only were the man's facial features distorted, but his facial features were also unusual, his nostrils turned out like a pig's arch, his lips were thick and swollen, his eyebrows were thick and short like ink thrown up, his ears were large and wilted like frost-beaten cabbage leaves, and his hair was loose and dull like a wild grass in winter. Fortunately, his body is not crooked, and he can walk fairly steadily.

He wore a pair of straw sandals on his feet, a green cloth gown, a black cloth belt around his waist, a green cloth hat on his head, and a cloth bag around his waist, which was bulging.

The child teased him, but he didn't care.

So some evil-eyed child instigated his evil dog to come forward and bite him.

"Blessing! Bite him! Bite him! "A kid gives orders to his dog.

The dog not only bullied the weak, but also took advantage of human power, and sure enough, it was violent, and pounced on the extremely ugly person, and bit it when he opened his mouth.

The other timid children were so frightened that they hurriedly covered their eyes, afraid to see the terrifying scene of their skin and flesh open.

When the ugly man saw the dog biting him, he stretched out a fist and stuffed it into the dog's mouth with a thunderous force.

Everyone was amazed. Isn't this a meat bun beating a dog? Isn't this asking for trouble?

But the vicious dog couldn't close it when he opened his mouth, let alone bite the man. The man's fingers made a strange gesture in the dog's mouth, as if the thumb and little finger were pressing against the dog's upper and lower jaws, respectively, and the other three fingers were each pressing against one part, making it impossible for the dog's mouth to bite.

The man had a wicked smile on his face, and with a flick of his hand, the vicious dog rolled out like a dead dog, and lay on the ground and snorted, saliva flowed all over the ground.

When everyone saw this scene, they were immediately arced, knowing that this person was not a master to be messed with. The children immediately retreated to a distance of three meters, not daring to approach him.

The owner of the dog ran to the dog and helped the dog up. But the dog couldn't walk a few steps and then collapsed to the ground, and his mouth opened several times, and he couldn't even bark, as if he was dumb.

Seeing that everyone was retreating, the man squeezed out an ugly smile on his face instead, and asked gently, "Do any of you know where Ma Xiucai's home is?" ”

Several children immediately ran away, they were not scared away, but ran to their father's house, and before they saw their father, they shouted: "Ma Xiucai! Ma Xiucai! There's an ugly monster looking for you! ”

Grandpa heard the children's screams of loss and hurried out of the study.

As soon as he came out of the study, the man had already walked to the large land in front of the Ma family's house, followed by many people watching the excitement.

Grandpa stood still in front of the gate of Ma's house and shouted, "I am Ma Xiucai." Who are you? What's the matter with me? ”

The man reported his name and said, "My name is Shen Yulin, a Miao from Xiangxi. I'm not looking for you, I'm here to save you! ”

At this time, Ze Sheng walked out of the crowd watching the excitement and said contemptuously: "Yo, the tone is not small! Do you know that Ma Xiu is a well-known good person? Do you know how many people were rescued by him? He has never been the only one who saves others, and I have never seen anyone who can save him! ”

Grandpa couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Zesheng didn't sleep at home as usual. Luo Buzhai was collecting accounts outside, so he was not present.

The man said loudly: "Ma Xiucai's reputation has spread thousands of miles, and I have heard some of them in Xiangxi. It was because I knew that Ma Xiucai was helpful and kind-hearted that my master Shen Zhenlin sent me to come here a long way. If you don't believe me, I'll go back right away. With that, he turned to leave.

Coming here from Xiangxi, there are more than 600 miles, and if you walk by two feet, you don't know how many days and nights you have to pass. And in that Shen Yulin's view, these more than 600 miles seem to be just a visit, coming when they say they are coming, and they are going to leave.

This kind of courage shocked my father.

Daddy hurriedly shouted, "Don't go!" Shen Zhenlin is the king of Xiangxi, I passed through Xiangxi when I came back from a trip and heard of his name. Whether you are his apprentice or not, the so-called visitors are all guests, since you have come all the way, why not sit and rest in the cold house? ”

Grandpa persuaded again, and then pulled Shen Yulin back.

As soon as he sat down in the house, a sick dog from a villager walked in and complained to his grandfather: "Ma Xiucai, this friend of yours just pointed at my dog. Now it doesn't scream, it doesn't scream, it doesn't scream, it wilts like it's going to die. I've had this dog for several years, and I pointed to it to help me look after the house, and I also had feelings. This time it's like this, you give me a critique. ”

Daddy could guess what had just happened.

At that time, people continued to flee from Shandong, Hebei and other provinces to Hunan, either because of famine or war. Many wanderers were so hungry that they stole food when they saw it, and they stole it in exchange for food when they saw something of little value. In order to prevent these people from entering the village, many people in the village keep dogs to drive away the stray.

Grandpa said: "This friend of mine is just a strange-looking, and he is dressed in clothes and not a homeless man. So you are not right in themselves. He was merciful, but he put his hand on the dog's mouth and throat to make it dumb. If he is ruthless, your dog will not survive. ”

Shen Yulin has already indicated that he is the apprentice of the corpse king, and his grandfather guessed that this person would be able to use the kung fu of Xiangxi corpse chasers - dumb dog skills. When chasing corpses, people are most afraid of encountering dogs. Dogs have a keen sense of smell and will bark and even bite when they smell the smell of dead people or dangerous atmospheres. The barking sound will attract the attention of other people or more dogs, and will not be conducive to chasing the corpse. In order to protect the corpse from being bitten or discovered, the corpse chaser must use stunts to deal with these dogs, so there is a secret "dumb dog skill". There are two kinds of "dumb dog skills", one is to directly cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and put the dog to death; One only makes the dog dumb, but does not die.

Therefore, Shen Yulin was indeed benevolent enough just now.

Shen Yulin saw that his grandfather's words revealed his understanding of chasing corpses, and there was immediately a bit of admiration in his eyes.

And grandpa learned that Shen Yulin would be a "dumb dog", and he also believed in his identity as a corpse chaser.

But Grandpa still has doubts in his mind. Since Shen Yulin is the apprentice of Shen Zhenlin, the famous corpse king in Xiangxi, what is he doing here? The corpse chasers are all driving people who have died in other places back to their hometowns for burial. Grandpa didn't have any acquaintances in the field, so there was no place to chase out corpses. Just now he said that he was not here to ask for help, but to save people. Is it true or false?

Grandpa drove away the people who were watching the excitement, then returned to the house, closed the door, and asked, "Now that no one else is present, tell me the truth, what is the reason why you are here?" Is there anything that deserves your Master's personal involvement? ”

Shen Yulin saw that there was no one else, so he let go and said.

"I did come to your rescue. Half a month ago, a zombie from Tibet passed through Xiangxi and was discovered by my master. My master knows that he is no match for him, but the gods of one side protect the other. Although my master is not a god, he will never allow ghosts from other places to harass the locals. So, my master found the zombie and wanted to drive it out of Hunan by driving the corpse. Although the zombie is much more powerful than my master, he knows that the king of Xiangxi corpse is not easy to deal with, so he reached a contract with my master. ”

Grandpa was shocked, it turned out that when the weak king walked into Hunan, some people in the same way had already discovered its traces. Grandpa hurriedly asked Shen Yulin: "What contract?" ”

Shen Yulin said: "The Tibetan zombie is not allowed to deliberately injure the innocent when looking for its target, so as to avoid large-scale damage. Meaning, it can't hurt anyone other than you, not as a last resort. In this way, my master can protect the safety of most people as much as he can, and the zombie can fulfill its own wishes. ”

Grandpa nodded and said, "It turned out that it didn't touch the top of Li Jiaao's people because it had a contract with your master." ”

"After my master reached a contract with him, he immediately asked me to come here to find you, so that you can prepare in advance. He heard that you are a good person, so he secretly asked me to report to you behind the scenes. If it were someone else, my master wouldn't care. ”

"Thank you Master for reminding me!" Daddy said. However, the Corpse King must not have known that the Weak Lang King was walking much faster than his apprentice. Before his apprentice arrived, the Weak Lang King had been looking for it for several days.

"It's too early to say thank you. My master also gave me a task - to help you deal with this zombie from Tibet. Shen Yulin said.

Grandpa was surprised: "I have only heard of your master's name, and I have never had any dealings with your master, let alone any friendship, why would he ask his apprentice to help me deal with zombies that he can't even deal with?" ”

Shen Yulin touched his extremely ugly nose and said, "My master knows that the Tibetan zombie is called Weak Lang in Tibet, and he has the ability to touch the top to make others become Weak Lang. Ma Xiucai, your cultivation is not shallow, if you are touched to the top and become a weak man, you will also become a weak man with the same power as it. In that case, there will still be many people who are in the same danger. This is not much different from letting the weak lang enter the country. On the one hand, my master hopes that the weak man will not hurt others, and on the other hand, he is worried that you will hurt others if you become a weak man, so he came up with this method that is not a solution. ”
