Wu Laosco was puzzled: "What can you do with Mazi, hurry up, this matter is not too late." Thinking that he would bravely enter the bandits' den later, Wu Lao Lao was excited.

The pockmark said with a serious face: "Brother, you don't know anything." We're not the bosses who chase the corpses, look, those people are our bosses. As he spoke, the pockmarked man pointed to the corpse in the coffin.

Wu Lao Lao still didn't understand, Na Mazi saw that Wu Lao Lao didn't understand and didn't sell Guan Zi and said directly: "Since we took over the business of these customers, it is the business of the living to the dead, and all this has to be dominated by the dead." ”

Wu Lao Lao exclaimed, "What? Mainly the dead? How can this work?"

The pockmark smiled: "Why can't this work? As the saying goes, death is greater, and what we are doing is this corpse chase business that serves customers, after all, we are taking their money." ”

Wu Lao Lao pursed his lips and asked thoughtfully: "This is not a village before, there is no store behind it, you usually walk in the wilderness, who can see your perseverance?"

Mazi said angrily with a rare anxious eye: "Brother Lao Lao, this is not nonsense, my Mazi has followed my master to walk the rivers and lakes to drive corpses for more than 30 years since I was eight years old, and I have never been worthy of my heart." I am worthy of the emperor and the world, the teachings of the master, the trust of these patrons, and the Tao of my heart. ”

Wu Lao Lao saw that Ma Zi was such an honest old spoon person, and he was anxious to say it, and hurriedly apologized: "Cough, Brother Ma Zi, I didn't mean that, oops, you see how I can say such a thing." ”

Na Mazi waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and sighed for a long time: "This era has changed, and the ethics of chasing corpses have also changed. Whenever you cross the river and climb the mountain, you must have a rattle and a person scatter paper money, which is not only to buy a road to the mountain spirits and ghosts in the barren mountains and mountains, so as not to disturb the souls of our customers, but also to create enough face for our customers to guide the way and send the customers back to their hometowns safely.

The master just went to that meeting, and I didn't find such a fate to accept a little apprentice to do this business of chasing corpses, and I was really a little unbearable to have no choice but to do business with other corpse chasers. But after a sale, those people found such and such excuses to leave, and I knew in my heart that they thought I was wasting time and money by sticking to the rules, and I was sorry that they didn't even want to buy paper money to buy the road, and let the lonely ghosts disturb the souls of the patrons. They don't want to be with me, and I don't bother to be with them. ”

As he spoke, the pockmarked man drank hot water vigorously.

Wu Laoshao was in awe: "It's really not easy for you to drive the corpse alone for so many years." ”

Mazi drank some hot water to feel better: "Actually, after a long time, I am not so tired, but it is a little boring to accompany these customers alone in this barren mountains and mountains." Saying that, Mazi boasted and said: "However, I have a way to relieve my boredom, that is, to sing two sentences." ”

Wu Lao Lao thought about Mazi's hoarse throat and hurriedly diverted the topic: "Mazi, don't you make money in this business? Why don't you confiscate an apprentice?"

Na Mazi shook his head and explained: "Why don't you make money? Don't look at my tattered clothes, I made more money than ordinary people in half a year." Saying that, he was afraid that Wu Lao Lao would not believe it, so he took out a handful of silver dollars from his pocket.

Wu Lao Lao was even more puzzled when he saw that this pockmark was not bragging: "Since you make so much money, it shouldn't be difficult for you to accept an apprentice." ”

Mazi sighed again: "How can it be so easy? There are some people who want to learn, but those who can eat our business of food are all asked by Master Zu to eat it." Our apprentices first have requirements for appearance, and they must be ugly, Brother Lao Lao, you will know it by looking at me. ”

Wu Lao Lao looked at Mazi's face, which was indeed a little ugly, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Brother Mazi, you go on." ”

Mazi then continued the topic just now and said: "In addition to the ugly face, you also have to be bold, our corpse business is night out and day and night, and it is like commonplace to walk on the lonely bridge and cold water in the barren mountains and mountains, and it is not good if you are not bold." ”

Wu Lao Lao nodded: "This is understandable, after all, staying with you customers all day long, it is really not good to have no guts." ”

Na Mazi pretended to be mysterious and said: "The last thing is the most important, that is, you must be sensitive to the yin qi and soul. ”

Wu Lao Lao saw that Mazi was deliberately playful, and also followed Mazi's words and asked, "Why is this?"

Ma Zi saw Wu Lao Lao Lao and explained to him: "We are driving out the corpse, which is to reseal the soul of this patron in this corpse with our special secret method, so that their own souls can control their corpses back, and the requirement of this secret method is to be sensitive enough to ghosts, otherwise even ghosts can't be sealed in corpses, and there is nothing to talk about chasing corpses."

When you have enough ability to drive out the corpses, you will be on your way. But this road is not very peaceful, these customers we brought have just died, and this corpse is fragrant to those lonely ghosts and wild ghosts on the road, especially some big ghosts. The ghosts of these customers are all newly dead ghosts, where can they fight with those ghosts and mountain spirits who have Taoism, it is easy to be scattered by those ghosts and mountain spirits who have Taoism. Those goblins and mountain spirits occupy the corpses of these customers, and it is easy for the corpses to turn into zombies, which is not easy to do. Therefore, the disciples must be sensitive to the yin qi ghosts to drive them away and protect the customers. ”

When Wu Lao Lao heard that there were so many ways to drive away the corpse, it was no wonder that he could be called the Three Wonders of Xiangxi together with his Phoenix Mountain Gu Technique, and it was luck to come out and meet Mazi this time.

When it was almost midnight, Mazi slapped his head and stood up from the ground and shouted: "Patronizing and playing with the old spoon brother, you almost missed the right thing." ”

As he spoke, the pockmark took out an ever-bright lamp from his tattered treasure bag, thought about it and carefully took out a small bottle and added some to the ever-bright lamp, Wu Laoshao didn't see it too clearly, thinking that it was just ordinary lamp oil, and couldn't help but ridicule Mazi: "I said Mazi, why do you still buckle the rope to your customers when you make so much money in one business?" Is it enough to pour so little lamp oil?"

Seeing that Wu Laospoon didn't know how to pretend to understand, he scolded him: "Don't the fuck you don't know how to pretend to understand, this is not lamp oil, this is mermaid oil." ”

Wu Laoscoo thought about it, but he still didn't know what this merman oil was, and he was embarrassed to ask.

The pockmark didn't hide it and told Wu Lao Lao about the merman oil: "This merman is also called Quanke." The predecessors recorded in "The Legend of Sou Shen": "There are sharks outside the South China Sea, who live in water like fish, and do not waste weaving achievements." His eyes weep and they can produce pearls. "The mermaids live outside the South China Sea, are good at weaving, and can make dragon silk that is not wet in the water, and tears become beads. "Jin Se" "There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon" is also mentioned. Their oil is said to have a very low ignition point, and a single drop can burn for days. ”

At the end, the pockmarked man said mysteriously: "I heard my master say that the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is an ever-bright lamp made of shark oil." ”
