Chapter 173: The Corpse Inn Meets the Corpse Woman
If there is a better way to enter the Xishen Pavilion, Ling Huchan will definitely not mention this person.
But they lingered around here for a long time, and they couldn't make a breakthrough, which made Hu Chan see that Wei Xiaobao was very irritable.
"She is a corpse chaser, and she is quite famous in Xiangxi, I only know that people call her 'corpse woman', and her real name is unknown." Ling Huchan said softly.
Wei Xiaobao said: "After eating, we will visit." ”
Coming out of the restaurant, Ling Huchan's hands were clutched together, looking scared.
Wei Xiaobao smiled and asked, "Is there anything else to hide?" ”
"If we want to rely on the corpse woman to enter the Xishen Pavilion, we can only pretend to be Xishen." Ling Huchan's voice was very soft, so light that it felt like only she could hear it.
In her opinion, it is unrealistic to let Wei Xiaobao, who is above 10,000 people under one person, pretend to be a corpse.
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "As long as you can enter the Xishen Pavilion, let alone the corpse, you can dress up as a woman." ”
Ling Huchan chuckled, unable to imagine what Wei Xiaobao would be like when she was dressed as a man.
The corpse woman chases the corpse in an orderly manner.
How many corpses are chased each time, how many roads are walked each day, and which corpse inn to settle in are all the same.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is very unlucky for a woman to chase a corpse.
But the Pavilion Master of the Joy God Pavilion only seems to trust the corpse woman.
When the Joy God Pavilion needs to accept a new Joy God, it is basically transported by the corpse woman.
Even as long as the corpse woman wants to send it to the Xishen Pavilion, the Xishen Pavilion will accept it unconditionally.
Even in the area of Xiangxi, there is a saying that the corpse woman is the master of the Xishen Pavilion.
People who are familiar with the corpse woman, under the pretense of joking, ask about this, and the corpse woman will show a grim smile and do not answer.
Corpse inns are generally built in desolate and uninhabited places.
These places are extremely yin, and ordinary people will take a detour when they see it.
Ling Huchan knew that in the mountains outside the town, there was a corpse inn, and it was also a place where corpse women often stayed.
Even if it was just past noon, the corpse inn was shrouded in yin qi and was very mad.
Ling Huchan knocked on the door of the inn.
The dilapidated wooden door slowly opened a crack, revealing an extremely ugly and hideous face.
The man caught a glimpse of Ling Huchan's appearance, swallowed his saliva hard, and asked in a strange voice, "Is there something wrong with the girl?" ”
Ling Huchan said: "We want to stay in the hotel." ”
"Staying in a hotel? Girl, do you know what this place is? The ugly man sneered.
Ling Huchan smiled: "Of course I know." ”
"It's still early, the two of you continue to walk forward, and in less than twenty miles, there will be a living inn." The ugly man was just feasting his eyes on it, and he was going to close the door.
Ling Huchan kicked the wooden door open.
The ugly man quickly turned back, avoiding the impact of the wooden door, and sneered: "It turned out to be a kicker." ”
"We're just borrowing for the night, so please make it easier." Ling Huchan's tone was sincere and polite.
Just because in front of Wei Xiaobao, she occasionally wants to be a lady.
"The girl is good-looking, if only she could ......," the ugly man grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.
The obscenity between the eyebrows made Ling Huchan sick.
Ling Huchan took a deep breath, suddenly made a move, and smashed the ugly man's head with one palm.
Wei Xiaobao shook his head and did not speak.
Ling Huchan searched inside and out, but did not find a second person.
Generally, there is only one person in the corpse inn.
Ling Huchan disposed of the ugly man's body and waited patiently for it to get dark.
It is not yet known when the corpse woman will come here.
After nightfall, the corpse inn was even more gloomy, and the wind was howling outside, as if there were countless ghosts crying.
Ling Huchan stayed in the dirty room, in a dull mood.
On this night, the corpse woman did not appear.
The next day, the two of them were practicing martial arts in the inn, and Wei Xiaobao's guidance helped Ling Huchan a lot.
Ling Huchan was already at the peak of the nine-story building, and she was just a little short of being able to break into the outer building.
On the fifth day, Ling Huchan gradually lost patience.
If you have the time to wait for the corpse woman here, it is better to find a way to find the Xishen Pavilion, after all, even if you find the corpse woman, the corpse woman will not necessarily take them into the Xishen Pavilion.
Wei Xiaobao was able to calm down, and it was still early before the sign-in deadline, so he was not in a hurry at all.
Xishen Pavilion is so difficult to find, since there is such a clue, you need to be patient.
At night, the sky is cloudy, the moonlight cannot penetrate, and the mountains are even darker than ink, and you can't see your fingers.
Ling Huchan sat on the roof, staring blankly at the darkness in the distance.
Wei Xiaobao was in the courtyard, trying to integrate a leaf across the sea into the wind god's legs.
Ling Huchan was startled by the sound, and when she looked down, she could see Wei Xiaobao's vague figure.
The figure shuttled back and forth, strange as a charm.
At this moment, a copper bell suddenly sounded in the distance.
Jingle bells.
The sound of the bell was terrible in the night.
The people of Xiangxi know that if you go out at night, once you hear this kind of bell, it is best to stay away.
It was the soul bell of the corpse chaser, and legend has it that if a living person collided, the soul could be easily snatched away.
Linghu Chan was overjoyed when she heard the bell, jumped off the roof, and said happily: "The corpse woman is here." ”
Wei Xiaobao smiled and nodded.
Ling Huchan blew the fire fold and lit a red lantern at the door of the inn.
This red lantern can light the way forward for those lonely souls, guiding them back to their hometowns and laying them to peace.
Wei Xiaobao came to a high place and saw that halfway up the mountain, there was a group of "people" jumping up the mountain.
He had seen in the movie that those corpse chasers could manipulate the corpse as long as they put a spirit talisman on the corpse's forehead, making the corpse jump along with the dementor bell.
In fact, the corpse chases in reality are more funny.
The corpse chasers are often very ugly, and they walk at night and sleep during the day, so that the living do not dare to approach.
Generally, the master and his apprentice are driving the corpse, and the two of them use bamboo poles to string up the corpses and carry them away, and the bamboo poles are shaking and shaking, and from a distance, it looks as if those corpses are jumping and jumping.
This is still a conscientious corpse chaser, the vast majority of corpse chasers, all of them only have a head, and the body is bandaged with straw.
Therefore, a corpse chaser can pick up a lot of corpses and walk quickly.
When the body is delivered, the family members usually only look at their faces and then cry to death.
The bodies that were delivered were also hurriedly buried.
The corpse drive in Xiangxi is very mysterious, and there are many different versions of the story circulating among the people.
When the corpse chaser halfway up the mountain finally approached, Wei Xiaobao could see it clearly.
An old woman in a colorful costume, holding a soul bell, walked slowly in front of her, shaking the bell from time to time.
Behind him, followed by nine corpses dressed in fine costumes.
The corpses didn't jump or jump, but walked like normal people, just a little slowly.
Some of the corpses were already decomposed, but they still followed the team and walked slowly.
Wei Xiaobao saw that his scalp was numb, and quickly returned to the inn.
The old woman saw the red lantern at the inn and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was Ling Huchan.
The old woman didn't say a word, and entered the inn with the nine happy gods.
There is a large house next to it, which can accommodate a lot of happy gods.
When the old woman enters with the god of joy, she will sleep in the coffin inside, and the nine bodies of the god of joy will stand in a row beside her.
"Overseer, this old woman is a corpse woman, she must have recognized me just now." Ling Huchan came to Wei Xiaobao and said in a low voice.
Wei Xiaobao nodded and walked towards the big house.
The corpse woman was lying in a coffin, unlied, her eyes open, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Mother-in-law, do you remember me? I am ......" Ling Huchan came to the coffin timidly, behaving like an ordinary little girl, not the Ming Sect leader who everyone in the rivers and lakes heard of.
