Chapter 22: Driving the Corpse

Zhou Xing was stunned, he didn't expect that Xishen was a thief hanging on the flagpole of the city gate, and when he turned his head and thought about it, he understood that the job he took should have been tricky, if it was easy to give so much silver, it would not be his turn, but the Xishen who drove was a thief, this is a sin of losing his head, even if he earns the silver, it is in vain if he doesn't spend his life.

Han Shantong saw that Zhou Xingyu hesitated and didn't speak, and he also understood his thoughts, so he sneered: "Dao Chief, we are making trouble with our heads tied to the waistband of our trousers, not to drive away the Tartars and make the world peaceful, not to mention that the silver is not short of yours, what else is there to think about?" ”

Zhou Xing sneered: "The poor Tao is a person who has become an outsider, he doesn't understand many big truths, and he is timid, so it is better for a strong man to find someone else." ”

"Outsiders don't eat? I won't tell you anything, you have to take this job today, and you have to take it if you don't take it, otherwise don't blame the brothers for being polite. Han Shantong glared, took out a short knife from his waist and held it in his hand, and looked at Zhou Xing with a sneer.

Zhou Xingzheng sent a successor, and also learned a few martial arts, thinking that it was not a problem to deal with Han Shantong, but at this moment, a few figures outside the window flashed by, Zhou Xing put away this thought, the other party came prepared, if you insist on shirking, I am afraid that there will be no good results, and the White Lotus Cult has been powerful in recent years, and there are believers everywhere in the world, if it is really offended, it can't be stopped, so I can only helplessly say: "In this case, the poor road is next, but the god of joy hangs on the flagpole, what should I do?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, just go with my brother, and when I rob the corpse, I will go to meet the Taoist." As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and flicked it, snap! There was a soft sound, and a young man in his twenties, with a sturdy face, came out of the door.

Zhou Xing sighed, knowing that he had already gotten on this thief ship, and he couldn't get down or not, so let's take one step at a time. At the moment, I don't talk much about waking up Zhou Dian, who is sleeping soundly, Lin Qi. Zhou Dian yawned and stood up, rubbed his eyes and said angrily: "Dad, didn't you say to drive one away, why are there two in this house, who are we going to drive?" ”

Han Shantong and the man heard this called a bad luck, and they both had gloomy faces and did not speak, Zhou Dian was afraid of annoying the two, so he hurriedly said to Zhou Dian: "What nonsense, I tore your mouth." ”

Lin Qi didn't dare to speak on the side, but he also looked funny, Zhou Xing packed up his baggage, and took the two of them out of the inn with the short man. When they arrived outside, it was already silent, and the three of them cautiously followed the man through the streets and alleys, and turned out of the town, and walked for almost a stick of incense, and under the moonlight, they saw a small river winding southward like a jade belt, and on the opposite side of the river was a dense forest, black and very gloomy.

Wading through the biting cold river to the woods, the short man walked under a tall poplar tree, and said to Zhou Xing: "Our brother will arrive in a while, you start preparing now, take the corpse and leave quickly, don't stay, when you arrive at Huanglinggang, there is a Yizhuang on the mountain in the north, you put my brother's body there, naturally someone will answer, and thirty taels of silver will not be short of you." ”

Zhou Xing nodded hurriedly when he heard this, spread out the cloth bag on the ground, and prepared by the moonlight, Lin Qi didn't speak, just watched from the side, only to see Zhou Xing take out a few things from the cloth bag, yellow fu, cinnabar, five-color cloth strips, and zongye hats. He had heard from the people in the village that he had heard about the miraculous exorcism of corpses, and he was curious and a little timid.

After waiting for about half an hour, the town suddenly burst into flames, and the faint sound of people shouting and neighing began to sound, and the short man jumped up and shouted: "Coming, coming!" As soon as he shouted twice, he saw Han Shantong with two strong men, running over with the dry corpse on his back, Han Shantong was also a neat one, put down the dry corpse, and said to Zhou Xing: "Hide it from the Taoist chief in advance, and there is a reason for it, my brother will ask the Taoist chief, if there is a re-meeting, I am making amends with the Taoist chief, and the Taoist chief will hurry up after cleaning up, and I will go with the brothers to lead away the chasing soldiers and say goodbye!" ”

After saying that, he hugged his fists, turned around with a few brothers and ran out, and when he had run a certain distance, he ran in the opposite direction, shouting loudly as he ran. Seeing dozens of torches lit up in the direction of the town, he chased after Han Shantong and the others.

Lin Qi saw Han Shantong so arrogant, and he also admired it, and couldn't help but yearn for it leisurely, and said secretly: This is a good man, a righteous person.

Here, Zhou Xing took the dried corpse, put it flat on the ground, took the cinnabar in the small cloth bag, and clicked a little bit on each of the seven places of the dry corpse's brain, back heart, chest and heart, left and right hand plate heart, and foot palm, each place was pressed with a yellow charm, and then tied it tightly with five-colored cloth strips. According to legend, these seven places are the places where the seven orifices enter and exit, and they are sealed with cinnabar runes in order to retain the seven spirits of the deceased.

Then some cinnabar was stuffed into the ears, nose, and mouth of the dried corpse, and then plugged with yellow charms. Legend has it that the ears, nose, and mouth are the places where the three spirits enter and exit, and in doing so, they can remain in the body of the deceased. Finally, the neck of the dried corpse was covered with cinnabar and a rune pasted, and tied tightly with strips of five-colored cloth; Then put on a dumpling leaf hat to cover the face of the dried corpse.

After everything was done, Zhou Xing recited the incantation: "This brother, this is not the place where Er'an died, and it is really sad to die in vain." The parents in their hometown are looking forward to it, and their wives and young sons are looking forward to returning to their hometowns. Don't hesitate. Haste as a law, up! ”

Lin Qi couldn't help but stand farther away, originally thought that the dry corpse would stand up when this sound started, but he didn't expect that the dry corpse was lying on the ground and didn't move, Zhou Xing saw that the dry corpse didn't move, and said in a loud voice: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Xing saw that the corpse did not move, so he thought about it, there are three rushes to drive the corpse, and there are three non-rushes, generally speaking, those who are beheaded must sew their heads together, those who are hanged, and those who stand in a cage to die. They were all forced to die, unconvinced, missing both their hometown and their loved ones, and they could use spells to lure their souls, put charms in their corpses, and then use spells to drive them to climb mountains and mountains, and even get on a boat and cross the water to return to their hometowns.

Those who die of illness, those who die voluntarily by hanging their necks by throwing themselves into the river, and those whose limbs are incomplete by thunder and fire cannot be rushed. The souls of those who died of illness have been hooked away by the king of Hades, and the spell cannot summon their souls back from the ghost gate, and the souls of those who throw themselves into the river are "replaced", and they may be in the process of handing over, if the new souls are summoned, the old souls cannot be replaced, will it not affect the reincarnation of the old souls? In addition, those who died from the thunder were all guilty people, and those who were burned by the fire were often incomplete in their flesh and skin, and these two types of corpses could not be driven away either.

This dried corpse is in the category that can be driven, although it is said that the dead are a little longer, but Zhou Xing has his own secret method to take him away, and he usually takes over such a job, all of them are spiritual, why is it not spirituality today? Could it be that the eight characters of this dry corpse are not dealing with him?

In fact, chasing the corpse is the same as marrying a daughter-in-law, it is necessary to look at the birth of the eight characters, to see if there is a chong ke, if the eight characters are against each other, it will not be driven away no matter what, Zhou Xing originally wanted to ask the birth of the dry corpse, but the thing came suddenly, he was worried again, so he forgot, at this time, he thought about it, and dared to catch up and ask Han Shantong about the eight characters of the dry corpse.

Zhou Xing settled his mind, knowing that he couldn't panic at this time, he didn't dare not rush this corpse, who was his surname, Han Shantong knew it clearly, and the few words when he parted also contained a threat, saying that he would make amends, and the word reparation meant that he was afraid that Zhou Xing would be dissatisfied, regardless of his brother. If the matter is done, it will naturally be reparation, but what if it is not done well? Han Shantong didn't say it, and Zhou Xing could guess what it meant.

After thinking about it, Zhou Xing took out a short peachwood sword from the cloth bag, this sword was the size of a palm, but it was extremely exquisite, and it also carried a sword spike. He looked solemn, half-knelt beside the dry corpse, muttered a spell in his mouth for a while, and suddenly put the peachwood sword in his hand into the ground next to the dry corpse, the ground in the woods was very soft, and this insertion went straight in, leaving only one sword hilt exposed.

This also says that before driving out the corpse, if the peachwood sword enters at the right time, it means that the corpse is willing to accept the mage's orders and guidance, and the mage is willing to accept the contract to drive the corpse. However, if the peachwood sword repeatedly failed to penetrate or suddenly broke, the mage immediately turned around and walked away, because it meant that the corpse would not obey his orders, and it was likely that something would happen along the way, so even if the price was higher, the mage would not agree to drive the corpse.

But this peachwood sword was obviously inserted into the ground, but the dry corpse still didn't move at all, this next week Zhou Xing was dumbfounded, I couldn't figure out what was going on, obviously the dry corpse didn't refuse, but why didn't he get up?

Zhou Xing was still pondering, but Lin Qi saw that there were three torches coming towards the woods in the direction of the town, presumably the pursuers scattered their men and searched this way, he hurriedly ran to Zhou Xing's side and tugged at his sleeve, and said, "Master, someone is coming this way." ”

Zhou Xingqiang looked out, but no, the three torches were getting closer and closer, and when he was in a hurry, cold sweat flowed down in an instant, Zhou Xingqiang calmed down, reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his face, and his fingers stained with cinnabar crossed his mouth, and he suddenly felt a little hot.

Feeling that something was wrong, Zhou Xing added his fingers with his tongue, his mouth was full of hotness, what kind of cinnabar he used just now, it was chili noodles.

This has to find the root from Zhou Dian, Zhou Dian eats a lot, and clamoring to eat meat buns all day long, Zhou Xing can afford to buy so many meat buns, and the most eaten along the way is still Wotou, steamed buns, but if you want to gnaw so dry every day, no one can eat it, pickles are expensive, and it is inconvenient to carry, so Zhou Xing bought some dried chili peppers, smeared them into noodles, and mixed some salt in them, which can be regarded as having a taste.

In the cloth bag, a small bag of cinnabar and a small bag of chili noodles, don't think about it, Zhou Dian must have taken it wrong, Zhou Xing couldn't help but be angry, and turned around and asked Zhou Dian: "Where is the chili noodles?" ”

"I'm done." Zhou Diantian added lips.

"Ancestor, you ate cinnabar, you stupid boy, can't you eat chili noodles and cinnabar? Is there a little left? ”

"I'm eating cinnabar? No wonder it didn't taste good, I thought it was bad, so I ate it all in one bite. ”

Zhou Xingzhi stomped his feet: "You are not my son, you are my living ancestor!" ”

At this time, Zhou Dian also knew that he was in trouble again, so he was stunned and asked: "Eat everything, what's the use of you being angry?" The cinnabar is gone, what should I do now? ”

"What should I do, run with it on my back!" Zhou Xing pointed to the corpse on the ground and shouted at Zhou.

"Okay, look at me." Zhou Dian had a bad head, but he had a lot of strength, and he didn't know how to be afraid, so he grabbed the dry corpse on the ground and carried it on his shoulder, and said to his father: "I'll run first." Then he opened his legs and ran into the woods.

Zhou Xing saw that his son was gone, so he hurriedly grabbed Lin Qi's hand and chased after him, shouting while chasing: "You slow down, wait for the two of us ......"

The three of them ran into the forest like rabbits, shook a few times, and there was no shadow, and the bright moon in mid-air became brighter and brighter.

Thank you for the reward, Xiao Qi is a person who can't speak, but some thanks are still in my heart, thank you.
