Song Yu told me about the legends and stories in this village that happened during the Qing Dynasty, and I wondered how true this story could be.

At this time, Song Yu said to me again: "Since this is Xiangnan, and Xiangxi is not far away, we also have speculation, whether it is possible that the zombie incident that appeared this time is man-made, there are many legends of corpse chasers in Xiangxi, and there is another version of the story in this legend of Xiangnan, which is about corpse chasers."

It is said that in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a small village in the west of Xiangnan, and a scoundrel in the village was poisoned by the corpse because of tomb robbery, although he was rescued by an old man, but because he did this kind of thing that damaged Yin virtue again, he was beaten by the whole village and thrown into the grass behind the mountain to fend for himself.

It is said that its corpse has been stiffened, and after death, the corpse has formed a "creature" that can eat people, it has abandoned its own soul, lost people's memories and feelings, and cruelly sucked the blood of the villagers, causing most of the people in the village to become zombies!

Legend has it that zombies collect the grievances of heaven and earth, and survive with bad luck, and can not grow old, die, or perish, but they are abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man outside the six realms of sentient beings, wandering and displaced.

The body is stiff, in the world, he uses resentment as strength, blood as food, and the blood of all living beings to vent endless loneliness! It is said that there were 800 families in the zombie village, and the last 200 or so families turned into zombies, and this zombie formation caused the last surviving people in the village to flee...

This is another legend, and it is a legend about the corpse chaser, which also made me a little interested in the cultural background of Xiangnan and Xiangxi, and I unconsciously remembered some knowledge about the Xiangxi corpse chaser faction I called me.

Xiangxi is the only autonomous region of Hunan Province for ethnic minorities, and in the eyes of many people, it is chaotic, barren, and has a lot of mysteries.

Xiangxi corpse is also known as the spirit of the arts, belongs to the Maoshan art Zhu by the family, originated in Xiangxi Yuanling, Filter, Chenxi, Xupu four counties, Xiangxi corpse and Thailand's head lowering technique and called Southeast Asia's three major evil arts, its sense of picture is still a little terrifying.

Among the three major evil arts in Xiangxi, they include: corpse expulsion technique, witch poison technique, and falling flower cave girl, these three evil arts that make people's scalp tingle, these three evil arts are also famous.

Many people give these three evil arts some terrifying colors, but I have also done some understanding of the history of the corpse expulsion faction, and the original corpse expulsion technique is the history of blood and tears of the children of Xiangxi.

When the corpse is not decomposed after death, the warlock rushes back to his hometown for burial, and the warlock who chases the corpse is accompanied by about three or five people, some of whom tie the corpse with ropes, one at intervals of a few feet, to connect the dead corpses in series.

A mage dressed in a robe, opens the way in front of him, shakes the soul bell, and then taps a yellow paper talisman with mysterious runes on the forehead of the dead body, and the others ring the gong and bell to open the way, day and night.

Cast the stack in front of daylight, stop at the dead body inn, uncover the talisman paper, the corpse stands against the wall, and will not continue on the road until night, and some people also point out that the corpse chaser actually carries the corpse and walks.

However, due to the fact that they were dressed in black and walked at night, passers-by naturally could not see the corpses, thinking that there were walking corpses, and the village was now located at the junction of Xiangxi and Guizhou in Hunan, and few people dared to survive in the local area.

Speaking of which, I unconsciously remembered a little story about a corpse chaser, which was about in 1950, when two People's Liberation Army soldiers were in the barren mountains and mountains of Xiangxi, they accidentally met a person who was shaking a soul bell and directing several zombies to walk.

If others met these strange people, they would definitely avoid them, but the PLA was worried that it was the hostile elements who were playing tricks and sabotage, so they followed all the way.

They finally found out that it was actually a few masters and apprentices, taking turns to walk with dead bodies on their backs, and what they said was that the corpse expulsion technique was not so terrible, but in fact, the corpse expulsion technique was an ancient legendary witchcraft, which was about Chi You leading the troops to fight with the rival tribes, and there were many casualties.

After the battle, Chiyou asked the military advisor to use some spells to let the deceased return to his hometown, and the military advisor dressed up as Chiyou, silently recited incantations, and prayed to the gods to make the corpses that were originally lying on the ground all stand up at once, and follow Chiyou Gaoqing's "talisman" and walk southward in a regular manner.

There is a folk book that records: According to legend, thousands of years ago, Chiyou led his troops to fight with hostile tribes until the corpses were all over the field and the blood flowed like a river. After the battle, they had to retreat to the rear, and the soldiers carried the wounded away.

Chi You said to the military advisors around him: "We can't leave the brothers who died here alone, how about you use some spells to let these good brothers return to their hometowns?" The military advisor said, "Okay. You and I change our costumes, you use the 'runes' to lead the way in front, and I supervise in the back. "

So the military advisor disguised himself as a chiyou, stood among the corpses of the brothers who had died in battle, and after a burst of silent recitation of incantations and prayers to the gods, he shouted to the corpses: "Brothers who have died, this is not a place where you will die, and it is a sad mourning to die in vain."

The parents in their hometown are looking forward to their hometown, and their wives and young sons are looking forward to returning to their hometowns.

The corpses that were originally lying on the ground all stood up at once, and walked south in an orderly manner behind Chi You Gaoqing's "Fu Jie". The enemy's pursuers came, and Chi You and the military advisor joined forces to attract the "five greater fogs" and trap the enemy ......in the Ecstasy Array.

Because it was the "division" spell of the military division that allowed everyone to get out of danger, everyone called him "Lao Si" since then; And because the last technique used by Lao Si to resist the enemy was the "fog technique", and the "fog" strokes were too many to write, so it was rewritten into a "witch" character instead.

There are many records in folk books about the ancient corpses, and it is more common in regional legends, Xiangxi is rich in cinnabar in ancient times, and cinnabar has a variety of pharmacological functions.

In the funeral customs of Xiangxi, there is still the habit of using cinnabar: before the deceased enters the coffin, he needs to use cinnabar to point his brain, heart, chest, heart, left and right hands, feet and other seven orifices, together with the ears, nose and mouth, in order to seal his seven souls and three souls. After digging the grave of the deceased, it is also sprinkled with cinnabar at the bottom, which means "old house"

From the Taoist point of view, an ordinary person has a lot of spiritual power, but it is just undeveloped. We've seen it; Jiang Taigong's whip has a rune on each section, which is extremely powerful.

In fact, people who have an understanding of Taoism know that this kind of whip is just a copy of the human spine, Taoism believes that the brain is the sea of marrow, and in every joint of the human spine, there is a hidden god, and through a certain method to control the hidden god, you can control a person's behavior.

For example, in the case of immobilization, the caster makes a person immobilize and cannot be turbulent, but the recipient's brain is still awake. For example, by practicing the Dao Dan Zhoutian, or Yitong Zhoutian, the qi can penetrate into the bones, so that the qi can condense and transform the gods and arouse one's own spiritual power.
