Chapter 271: A corpse chaser who doesn't apprentice
When the boss saw the man, his face immediately changed. He cursed in his mouth, saying that we were so unlucky, we had just entered Yuanxi Town, and we met this ominous person. I immediately realized that this person. may be the one mentioned by the boss just now when he told us about the situation of corpses in Xiangxi, Yuanxi Town, there is no apprentice corpse chaser.
According to the boss, in the corpse chasing industry, the corpse chaser must apprentice and learn special corpse driving skills. to become a corpse chaser. And one of the taboos of chasing corpses is to become a corpse chaser without apprenticeship, and go to chase corpses, otherwise, it will cause a series of strange flying disasters.
I asked the boss, and after the boss answered, I finally settled on this person. It was the corpse chaser in Yuanxi Town, who everyone regarded as an ominous person. From a distance, those few people dressed in white and motionless looked like ghosts in the night, the wind was blowing, and their hair and clothes were all floating.
They stood around the brazier, as if to shield themselves from the wind and prevent it from blowing out the fire in the brazier. It's just that the wind is so strong that the fire burning in the brazier has to be blown out several times. It's just that every time the fire is about to be extinguished. The corpse chaser who squatted on the ground would send a wad of dark paper into the brazier.
The fire burned even brighter. And the corpse chaser. He didn't look at the brazier from beginning to end, and when he sent the paper into the brazier, it seemed that he was going to put the whole palm of his hand in, but he didn't feel hot, and he wasn't afraid that the fire would burn his hands. The direction he was staring at was clearly a few of us. Kneel and beg for a song with a clear eye
There were few people in Yuanxi Town anymore, and we stood for a while, just a few pedestrians passed by. However, when these pedestrians saw the corpse catcher squatting on the ground, they all hurriedly avoided it as if they had seen a ghost, and hurriedly ran away. The whole Yuanxi Town is quiet, the town is very dark, and it can be seen at a glance. It seems that we are the only ones with light here.
And all that light came from the brazier in front of the corpse chaser. He was still laughing as he sent the paper to the brazier, and when he looked closely, the corpse chaser was holding a pile of dead paper in his hand, which didn't look like much, but it could withstand the corpse chaser's constant sending to the brazier, as if the dead paper in the corpse chaser's hand would never run out.
The flickering light of the fire was reflected on the face of the corpse chaser, and also on the figures standing around the brazier. Those people, still with their heads down, kept their heads down, and they kept this posture, which made people feel panicked when they looked at them. There are a lot of us, Luo Feng and I are standing in the front, and Luo Feng's more than 20 subordinates are standing behind us.
And the boss, standing side by side with us. Among Luo Feng's subordinates, someone swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and he asked us whether the few people standing around the brazier were human beings or ghosts. The boss looked solemn and said quietly: "It's good if it's a person, even if it's a ghost, it's better than a corpse." ”
Luo Feng didn't believe this, he smiled and asked, "Why do you say that, are a few corpses more terrifying than ghosts?"
The boss shook his head and explained to us. The boss said, people have nothing to be afraid of, although the ghost sounds panicked, but as the saying goes, people are afraid of ghosts for three points, ghosts are jealous of people for seven points, the boss glanced at us, and said that everyone is a man, and there are many people, even if it really hits a ghost, the ghost is afraid of us.
As soon as Luo Feng heard what the boss said, he laughed again. However, before Luo Feng could speak, the boss continued. The boss said, there are so many of us, people don't have to be afraid, and ghosts don't have to be afraid, but in Yuanxi Town, you have to be careful of those corpses. Seeing the boss's serious face, Luo Feng stopped smiling.
The boss continued to tell us quietly, saying that the yin qi of the corpse is heavier than that of the ghost. It is said that after a person dies, the yang energy will be exhausted, and the yin energy is exclusive to ghosts. The corpse is a container that carries yin energy, and when a person just dies, he has not yet turned into a ghost, so the corpse is the period of transition between man and ghost.
The people in Yuanxi Town call the corpses of people who have just died and have not yet turned into ghosts as the Yin body. The so-called Yin body, as the name suggests, is very heavy in Yin Qi. The boss said that according to the older generation of corpse chasers in Yuanxi Town, it is said that ghosts are restricted by righteousness and heaven and earth after all, so there is no way to do whatever they want.
And the yin body will turn into a ghost, but it is not a ghost, it is said to be a person, and the person is already dead. Therefore, the yin body is subject to the constraints of righteousness and heaven and earth, and it is relatively less. As a result, the people in Yuanxi Town have legends that the yin body is more terrible than ghosts, especially those who die in a foreign land or die unjustly. These people are unwilling to leave this world, or they are still unwilling in their hearts, and after they die, whether it is a yin body or a ghost, the resentment is very deep.
As the boss spoke, another cold wind blew, and many people shivered. The boss waved his hand and said that it was better to send us to the hotel in Yuanxi town as soon as possible. Everyone agreed, and among Luo Feng's subordinates, many people said that standing here, they always felt weird.
We were at a crossroads, and the corpse chaser who burned the brazier was squatting in the middle of the crossroads.
The boss hesitated for a moment, and walked forward tremblingly, he said that to get to the hotel in Yuanxi Town, we must pass through the crossroads, which means that we must pass by the corpse chaser. The intersection was very narrow, and the boss deliberately walked to the side, trying not to get too close to the corpse chaser.
Slowly, we got closer. As the distance approached, the corpse chaser's face, which was dimly reflected by the firelight, was also clearly seen by us. The boss said that in order to become a corpse chaser, there is an unwritten rule in the industry: a corpse chaser must be ugly. The boss said that this was to scare away those evil dirty things, these things handed down by the people, the credibility is not high, but now it seems that this rule exists.
Because, this corpse chaser is indeed very ugly.
The corpse chaser's two eyelids drooped, one high and one low, one large and one small, and there were no eyebrows on his face, and his mouth was also crooked to one side. Before, from a distance, I thought it was the corpse catcher smiling at us, I thought it was a strange smile, but now that I look, the corpse catcher is not smiling at all, but the corners of his mouth are tilted to the side, and it looks like he has been showing a weird smile.
The corpse chaser's son is collapsing downward, facing the front, and if you don't look closely, you will even feel that the corpse chaser has no son. As we passed by the corpse chaser, I glanced at him from the side, and he had a son, but I always felt as if his bones were broken, and he couldn't hold his son.
The corpse chaser is not only ugly, but also somewhat scary. I don't know if he was born with this terrifying appearance or if he was burned by fire. The skin on the corpse chaser's face was wrinkled, white in some places, red in others, and the flesh was twisted together in many places.
Obviously, the corpse chaser's face was definitely burned or burned extensively.
On the top of the corpse chaser's head, he also wore a dirty and broken hat, and the clothes he was wearing were also tattered, but it seemed to be wearing several layers, and the clothes wrapped his body and neck tightly. I also noticed that the corpse catcher was also wearing a very dirty pair of gloves.
It seems that the gloves were supposed to be white, but now, they have long been severely yellowed and blackened.
I deliberately walked very slowly, just to observe this corpse catcher. When we were in the distance, I always felt that the corpse catcher was watching us, but when we got closer, we found that the corpse catcher's gaze was hollow, staring straight into the distance, and I didn't know what he was looking at. I looked away from the corpse chaser and on the men gathered around the brazier.
Judging by the height of these people, they should all be men, but their hair is very long, and generally only women have such long hair. The clothes and pants they wore were so long that I couldn't see their feet. The strange thing is that no matter how much the wind blows, no matter how much their hair floats, there is a handful of hair in front of their face, which is clinging to their face, so that they do not show their face.
The men stood motionless and straight.
They have been standing for a long time, and even the strongest people will feel tired when they stand upright for so long. A "Murder Taboo" is the first time to read for free.
