Chapter 14: The Dead of Qin
The Wu brothers and I turned our heads to look and found three men in jackets sitting by the window looking at us for a long time.
The man who spoke had bright eyes, but he looked ordinary, and he belonged to the kind of people who couldn't remember his appearance.
Boss Wu nodded to the man and said, "First come, first come, let's just wait." ”
He turned his head, lowered his voice and said, "It's a tomb robber, I don't know where to target the big tomb." Don't provoke them, they dare to kill. ”
I was taken aback, and my face suddenly changed color.
Like Xiangxi corpse chaser, Wushan crying and mourning, this kind of profession is actually a deviation, although the industry is a little more dangerous, on the surface, it is also a good citizen who abides by the law.
But the tomb robbers are different, this is the master who really treats the law as a child's play, they dig graves and rob tombs, sell cultural relics, and even the body of the tomb owner is not spared.
For the sake of money, even human lives are not taken into account. Of course, if you are caught by the security guards, it is also a head-off business.
Grandpa told me that when you mix in the circle, you must be careful of three kinds of people, the spell master of the South China Sea, the Gu master of Miao Jiang, and the wandering tomb robber.
Boss Wu didn't want to provoke this group of bandits, so he casually found a seat and waited with peace of mind.
I didn't think we would provoke each other, but the other party was interested in us. The man who spoke smiled and said, "Look at a few outfits, are they from the Wushan Wu family?" ”
"My name is Qin He, and I eat the dead, and the brothers on the road call me Qin Dead."
The other party took the initiative to talk, and Boss Wu was not easy to refuse, and said: "The branch of the Wu family is the boss." ”
Qin Dead Man smiled: "The crying mourners of Wushan came to Taihang Mountain, it's very interesting, friend, let's talk?" ”
The so-called "talk" means to chat and exchange some information. Let's see if everyone's goals are different. If we can work together, then join forces.
If there is competition, then everyone will have a ghost, and then it will depend on whose heart is ruthless and whose means are higher.
Boss Wu was not cowardly, and said with a smile: "Since my friends can see it, let's talk about it?" ”
Qin Dead Man grinned, revealing a mouth full of black teeth. He was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the sound of jingling bells outside, as if countless bells were ringing.
Dead Qin and Boss Wu immediately stopped talking and looked towards the door.
I saw the curtain of the door opened, and a woman wearing a hat stepped in, she was dressed in white, fluttering a little fairy, and on her exposed wrist, there was a string of small bells.
That's where the jingling sound came from.
In the middle of the night, in the wilderness, it is understandable that a group of us who eat dead people's food appeared, but now a woman with a graceful figure has appeared, what is going on?
Boss Wu couldn't see the origin of this person, and asked me in a low voice: "Little Brother Zhang, what is the origin of this woman?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the woman suddenly turned her head to look at him, the light veil under the hat was windless, and a miserable white face flashed away.
A cold sweat appeared on Boss Wu's forehead, but he was not to be outdone, and the mourning stick in his hand hit the ground with a bang.
The woman turned her head and said in a dull voice: "Boss, is there a substitute for the dead paper man?" ”
The boss said impatiently behind the counter: "You have to replace the dead, you have to give Lao Tzu time to make it!" Sit there and wait! I've been delayed from my old man's work! ”
The woman hummed, and then the white shadow flickered, and she was already seated in a chair.
Sitting opposite her chair was a dead soul whose face could not be seen clearly, and then the woman suddenly reached out and grabbed it, and the dead soul suddenly screamed, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and was sucked into the stomach by the woman.
I gasped,! This woman is not alive! I'm afraid it's not the legendary Soul Eater?
From behind the counter, the shopkeeper scolded: "No hands are allowed in the store!" Stinky! You're going to ruin my reputation! ”
The woman in white said apologetically: "I'm sorry, boss, I'm really hungry ......."
The shopkeeper said angrily: "Spit it out!" Otherwise, don't want me to do your business! ”
The woman in white was embarrassed, but she tilted her head and thought about it, but she still opened her mouth, and a black gas spewed out again.
The black qi was still in the air, and it condensed into the shape of a revenant, but compared to before, the body became more transparent, and it was obviously a great injury to the vitality.
The revenant soul was so frightened that as soon as he finished condensing his body, he turned around and left without hesitation, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
As soon as it left, the other souls were also afraid of the woman in white, and turned to leave, and in an instant, the room that was still a little crowded immediately became empty.
The shopkeeper scolded: "I don't like you unruly things the most!" Good dear, what are you hurting them for! ”
The woman in white seemed to laugh, and then said, "I'm sorry, shopkeeper." ”
I lowered my voice and said to the Wu family brothers, "This is an alien evil!" It should be a Soul Eater. ”
Boss Wu frowned and asked, "Soul Devouring Corpse?" What's the matter? ”
I said, "There is an evil method in northern Henan, when people are on the verge of death, they use cinnabar to seal the nine orifices, so that their souls cannot escape. In this way, the three souls and seven spirits will be trapped in the corpse and cannot be reincarnated. ”
"Then use the secret method to concoct the corpse, so that it does not decay or decay, and is as hard as iron. At this point, the caster will use special means to reintegrate the soul into the corpse. The corpse is then manipulated by the soul of the deceased again, walking, sitting, and lying as if it were a living person. ”
The reason why this evil method has been handed down among the people is actually because the family of the deceased is nostalgic for the deceased and unwilling to let him leave forever.
Therefore, in the thirties of the last century, this method was popular in northern Henan, and many wealthy families called it resurrection.
On the surface, the resurrection of the dead can indeed be called the resurrection of the dead.
But in reality? After all, the body is dead, and the soul and body are not compatible at all. This kind of person who has been brought back from the dead is afraid of the sun, has infinite strength, has no pain, and naturally has no other senses.
The main thing is that this group of people loves to devour souls.
Because only by injecting a fresh soul can the soul continue to attach to the corpse, otherwise, sooner or later, it will be a soul scattered.
Where is the fresh soul?
Kill someone, and naturally there will be.
Who is the easiest to kill? Naturally, he is the closest person around, and if he is defenseless, it is best to start.
Don't doubt that a dead man is a dead man, and if the soul has no real carrier, it will breed resentment. As soon as the resentment comes out, it is a terrible ghost.
Once this thing has an attack, it is a standard six-parent denial.
As a result, the families of the people who came back from the dead at the beginning had homicide cases one after another......
Later, this incident alarmed the Songshan Shaolin Temple, and the monks in the temple came down to investigate, and finally discovered this resurrection technique. At that time, the leading monk was called Master July, and he was also considered a high-ranking monk.
He gave this kind of person who came back to life a name, a soul eater.
The reason why it is called a corpse is because he doesn't treat this group of people who have come back to life as human beings at all.
