Chapter 1: The Corpse Girl
At night, the stars are sparse, and the night sky is rich in blue, and a bright moon hangs high above it, although there are no stars, but the moonlight is excellent. The only thing that did not match this wonderful moonlight was the bleak gale that kept raging, whirring like the cry of a female ghost.
"Gah! Quack! "A crow as black as paint pierced the sky, and its mournful cry added a lot of charm to the night. The dense woods, with interlaced branches, the shadows of these branches in the moonlight are comparable to those ghosts with teeth and claws.
The moonlight poured down through the gaps between the branches, forming pillars of light of various sizes, making people feel extremely yin in this wet and cold jungle.
Under the miserable white moonlight, Yuan Yang held a lantern in one hand, accompanied by a strange light, and the firelight flickered in the forest while walking, which made people suspect that they had encountered something unclean. She held the silver bell in her other hand, and shook it gently from time to time, breaking the dead silence in the forest.
Bite! Ding! Ding Ding Ding! ……
One wave of bells has not subsided, and another wave of bells has risen.
Yuan Yang was dressed in a shabby red robe, contaminated with the breath of the passage of time, the yin and yang gossip diagram embedded in the clothes was extremely dazzling, a purple long sword and a yellow whisk of dust were carried on both sides, and a gray cloth bag was carried around his waist.
The erratic lights and the whirring wind made her body tremble a little, and the light of the lantern illuminated her face white, and her bright eyes flickered, although she kept chanting incantations, but it could not remove the panic in her heart.
Yuan Yang was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and her body was a little thin, but five feet behind her, there were five people who followed her steps stiffly, all of them were dressed in white, with black belts pinned to their waists, and their limbs looked extremely stiff with every step, and then look at their faces, their faces were gray and blue, like mud, and their eyes were sunken, like two black holes. Where are these five people? It's clearly five dead bodies!
"Amitabha...... Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha ......" Yuan Yang kept reading, the hand holding the silver bell trembled a little, under the cold moonlight, she looked back at the corpse behind her worriedly, and said quietly: "This night is extremely gloomy, if the corpse has been illuminated by the moonlight for a long time, I am afraid that the corpse will have to be transformed, and I will send them to the corpse inn as soon as possible." After speaking, Yuan Yang took a deep breath, continued to shake the silver bell, and walked forward with a spell on his mouth, and the corpse behind him listened to the bell and the mantra, and followed Yuan Yang with a jump.
Yuan Yang is a corpse chaser, but her Taoism is extremely shallow, and all the shallow spells she practices are practiced indiscriminately by herself, except for the simple exorcism of corpses, other spells are not. In order to look like a corpse chaser, the robes and long swords she wore were all second-hand goods she bought at the market.
This is the second time that Yuan Yang has driven out the corpse, thinking that it is because of the unfamiliarity with the spell, which makes her panic all the time, for fear that the five corpses will suddenly deceive the corpse.
The so-called corpse removal is to be entrusted by the family of the corpse to send the corpse back to their hometown, and the corpse chaser does not need to carry the corpse, but only needs to do a little to make the corpse walk. And the time to drive out the corpse can only work at night, and the corpse cannot see the sun. If the corpse chasers see that the sky is clear, or if they are tired, there will be inns dedicated to providing rest for the corpse chasers and corpses, and these inns are corpse chasers.
Yuan Yang can only chase away some of the skin of the corpse Dao technique, which is why he is so scared tonight. Yuan Yang watched the moonlight get more and more abundant, and kept muttering: "Nan Wu Amitabha...... I hope to hurry to the corpse inn. Then she recited again: "Immeasurable my Heavenly Venerable, Heavenly Venerable blesses ......"
In the end, she is a person who can only spend fists and embroidered legs to drive out corpses, and for a while he said Amitabha Buddha and a while he said that he was immeasurably Tianzun, Buddhism and Taoism are not mutually exclusive, and Yuan Yang actually used the pious words of these two families together, her words, if the ancestors of Buddhism and Taoism knew about it, they would have to be so angry that they would crawl out of the grave.
"Happy God crosses, buy a road to borrow, ordinary people, don't approach!" Walking out of the cold and wet woods, Yuan Yang shouted loudly. At this time, she dragged the five corpses along the damp path, the cold wind still blowing, and the five corpses were stiff, but they walked crookedly, and looked a little funny.
Yuan Yang shook the silver bell and continued to shout: "Happy God crosses, people and ghosts retreat......" As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a cluster of green fire floating in front of her and stopped in front of her. Although Yuan Yang doesn't have many Taoism, he knows with common sense that this thing in front of him is a ghost fire. Yuan Yang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, only to see that the cluster of green fire suddenly flashed, and the green fire turned into a woman in red, her hair was as black as thick ink, extremely unnatural, especially her face, like a blank piece of paper, her eyes were sunken and she couldn't see clearly, and there were still dazzling bloodshots on her red lips.
Yuan Yang took a deep breath and said boldly, "Where did the wild ghost come from?" If you don't reincarnate as soon as possible, you will come out and harm the world! ”
The female ghost slowly raised her head, her hair was flying, she stretched out one foot, and saw that the embroidered shoes on the little foot were stained with blood, which was chilling, and the female ghost smiled, and the laughter was particularly harsh.
Yuan Yang thought that the female ghost was going to attack him, and his legs couldn't help but tremble. Unexpectedly, the female ghost actually cried and said, "I starved to death before I was born, and please give me a few copper plate flowers." that I may be satisfied with food and drink in hell. ”
After hearing this, she was almost shocked to retreat, and she said with some unsteady: "You can't use the silver taels in my world in the underworld, and the money in my hand is only used to drive out corpses, so I can't give it to you." ”
The red-clothed female ghost continued to take a step forward and begged, "If Your Majesty gives me a few dollars, I will definitely repay you." ”
As soon as he heard the word repayment, Yuan Yang became interested and said, "Then how do you repay me?" ”
The female ghost saw that Yang was interested, and said happily: "In order to repay Your Excellency, you want me to make a promise to ...... with my body."
"Don't! Other! Other! First of all, I'm a woman. ”
"In special cases, women and women can also do it...... If you don't like women, I can introduce you to a few male ghosts, they are very handsome......"
Yuan Yang felt that the female ghost was becoming more and more out of tune, and with a turn of her eyebrows, she quickly reached into the cloth bag and took out a spell, and hurriedly pasted it on the female ghost's forehead, only to see a flash of light, and a wave of green smoke flew into the sky.
"Amitabha, let's be reincarnated as soon as possible."
When the green smoke slowly cleared, Yuan Yang looked up and found that the disc-like moon was wrapped in pitch black, like a black ball floating in the air. For a while, the surroundings became a lot darker, and the endless wind blew, and the wind sounded like a ghost.
Yuan Yang's heart was wide, his eyebrows frowned, and he said in a low voice: "It's not good! If you don't arrive at the corpse inn before the tengu spits out the moon, the moon yin energy spit out by the tengu will shine on these corpses, and the corpses will definitely change. No, I've got to hurry to the corpse inn. The silver bell rang again, and Yuan Yang quickened his pace.
"Gah! Ga! Ga! A crow flew over the head of the crow, flapped its wings and looked at five corpses, and then flew away quickly. Yuan Yang couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle and his heart was beating.
In the middle of the night, a dead floor appeared in front of Yuan Yang, looking at the plaque on the door, Yuan Yang finally exhaled. After she shook the silver bell and ordered the five corpses to walk with her to the door, she said loudly: "Happy God to enter the store, all the gold and silver are here, please open the shop." ”
At last there was a creaking sound from the dead inn, the door was opened, and an old man came out, unlit, his face impossible to see in the dim light.
The old man looked at the five corpses behind Yuan Yang, squinted his eyes and said, "It turned out to be the little master of Yuan Yang, why did you bring so many 'happy gods' this time?" Could it be that the mana has become superb? There was a hint of mockery in his words.
"A strong corpse chaser can get dozens of them at a time, old man, don't say cool things, let us into the house quickly." Yuan Yang said angrily.
The darkness of the moon began to reced, and the five corpses led by Yuan Yang walked stiffly towards the inn, and the moon was revealed, and the gloomy moonlight still shone on the feet of the corpses who had finally stepped into the inn, but this did not make Yuan Yang notice.
There were no lights in the lobby of the inn, for fear that the light would be too strong to hit the corpse. The lantern she was carrying emitted a faint glow, and after she took out the silver taels and handed them to the old black man, she whispered, "I have to replace these corpses with new spirit runes, and then I can go to rest." ”
The old man black carried the silver taels, looked around at the five standing corpses, and said with a smile: "The cinnabar you put on the corpse this time is still quite thick, do you know how to change the spirit talisman?" ”
This sentence was a contempt for Yuan Yang, who immediately took out two pieces of paper from the cloth bag she was carrying, looked at the dense text on it and said: "I have a secret book in hand, even if I can't, don't you know according to the above description?" ”
The old man's face became a little dark at this time, and he squinted at Yuan Yang and said, "Just your two pieces of broken paper, what kind of secret is it?" ”
"I'm a family heirloom, old man, don't be ignorant." After that, Yuan Yang kept the two pieces of paper with dense characters in his arms.
The old man smiled and said, "Little Master, I won't tease you anymore, this is the second time you have driven out corpses, why did you bring five, don't you know that if the spell is not strong, you will not be able to suppress the corpse?" ”
Yuan Yang's face changed slightly, and he frowned: "Actually, I only drove four corpses this time. ”
"Then why is there another one?" The old black man looked at the last corpse in line and said.
Yuan Yang looked back at the last corpse, and said with a somewhat dazed expression: "I don't know why, when I manipulated the other four corpses in Yizhuang, this corpse also moved, I saw him lying alone in a coffin that had already rotted, and it was quite pitiful, thinking that the corpse might be a drop, and I would take him with me at that time, hoping that his soul would return to his hometown." “
The old man glanced at Yuan Yang meaningfully, and said, "Little Master Yuan Yang is really a bodhisattva." He looked at the moonlight that was shining obliquely outside the house, and suddenly felt an ominous premonition coming, and he hurriedly said: "Quickly replace the old spirit rune, tonight the tengu swallows the moon, there is a bad omen." ”
Yuan Yang was also worried, and hurriedly took out five spirit runes, walked to the five standing dead corpses, and replaced the old spirit runes one by one, and when she touched the fifth corpse, the corpse suddenly moved.
