Xiangxi folk have had the industry of chasing corpses since ancient times, and there are not many people who learn this industry, but there must be two conditions: one is to be bold, and the other is to be in good health.

Moreover, you must kowtow and kneel to apprentice, the corpse chaser never accepts apprentices indiscriminately, and the apprentice is first written by the parents, and then the corpse chaser must be interviewed.

Generally speaking, it depends on the age of 16 years old, the height is more than 1.7 meters, and there is a very special condition, the apprentice should look ugly.

The corpse chaser first asks the test taker to look at the sun in the sky, then spins in place, and then suddenly stops, asking you to immediately distinguish between east and west, north and south, if you can't tell the direction, you can't be hired.

Because you don't distinguish between east and west, north and south at this time, it means that you can't distinguish the direction of chasing corpses at night, and you can't drive corpses at all. Next, the corpse chaser wants you to find things and carry burdens.

Because the corpse is not a living person after all, when it encounters a steep slope, the corpse cannot climb up, and the corpse chaser has to carry it one by one to the high slope.

Finally, there is another interview, which is that the corpse chaser puts a paulownia leaf on the grave mountain deep in the mountains, and lets you go alone to retrieve it in the dark, only in this way can it be shown that you have the courage to be a corpse chaser.

If you pass these three levels successfully, you will have the possibility of becoming an apprentice of a corpse chaser, and the apprentice must learn the 36 skills of a corpse chaser before he can go to the corpse chaser.

The first merit is the "standing merit" of the dead body, that is, the first thing is to make the dead body stand up. The second skill is the "walking skill", that is, the ability of the corpse to walk freely, and the third skill is the "turning skill", that is, the corpse can turn when walking.

In addition, there are "downhill skills", "bridge skills", "dumb dog skills", etc., "dumb dog skills" can make the dogs along the way not bark when they see the corpses, because the dead corpses are afraid of the dog barking, the dog barks, the dead body will be shocked, especially when the dog comes to bite, the dead body has no ability to resist. The corpse will be bitten to the ground.

The last kind of skill is the "soul resurrection skill", the better the soul return skill, the more souls of the dead corpse will remain, and it will be very easy to catch up the corpse. This kind of "soul rejuvenation skill" is actually sprinkled on the corpse with a special herb from Xiangxi.

According to the relevant literature, there is a saying of "three rushes, three non-rushes", and the three kinds of corpses that have been beheaded, hanged, and died standing in cages can be driven away.

The reason is that they are all forced to die, they die unsatisfied, they miss their hometown and their relatives, they can use spells to lure their souls, use charms to calm their corpses, and then use spells to drive them to climb mountains and mountains, and even get on a boat and cross the water to return to their hometown.

Those who die of illness, those who die voluntarily by hanging their necks by throwing themselves into the river, and those whose limbs are incomplete by thunder and fire cannot be rushed. The souls of those who died of illness had been swept away by Hades, and spells could not summon their souls back from the Ghost Gate.

And the souls of those who throw themselves into the river are "replaced", and they may be in the process of handing over, if the new souls are recruited, the old souls cannot be replaced, will it not affect the reincarnation of the old souls?

In addition, those who died from the thunder were all guilty people, and those who were burned by the fire were often incomplete in their flesh and skin, and these two types of corpses could not be driven away either. Scientific explanations for the exorcism of corpses.

Modern theories are more inclined to interpret the corpse chase in Xiangxi as: in order to transport the dead, the two corpse chasers in front and back actually use two long bamboos to carry the corpse through a row of corpse sleeves and shoulder the corpse, and then the two ends are carried by the strong man like a sedan chair, but because the corpse chaser wears black clothes and walks at night, passers-by naturally can't see the corpse chaser, thinking that there are zombies.

Because the bamboo is elastic, the corpse will swing up and down when the corpse is carried and walked, so there is an image of a zombie jumping with his hands outstretched. At night, it looks like a group of people jumping forward with their hands stretched out and their knees straight, and the legend of chasing out corpses has spread.

On this mission trip, Song Yu and I finally arrived at the site of the incident at nightfall, under the illumination of the moonlight at night, and a desolate village in the distance appeared in my field of vision.

After nightfall, I turned on the Blood Demon Pupil Technique, carried my small satchel on my shoulder, and walked side by side with Song Yu on the small mountain village road leading to this strange zombie incident, but when Song Yu and I were within a hundred meters of this small mountain village.

I found out the difference in this village, I'm not a rookie who doesn't know anything anymore, the special ability of the blood demon pupil technique, a hundred meters away, I found the special village in front of me, why is it special?

Because the village in front of me gave me a gloomy feeling, the sky around the village was not normal darkness, it was a large dark cloud, and there was a trace of evil qi floating around.

There was a trace of black gas surging in the air in my eyes, and my pace unconsciously slowed down a few steps, which clearly showed that there had been a large number of deaths in this village, and a thick yin qi and resentment enveloped the entire village.

Do not disperse resentment for a long time, the so-called resentment, that is, the person who died in vain is unwilling to be so unfair by fate, after death, resentment emanates from the inside out, and when the moon is empty, the resentment is thick and forms a group of black gas.

The greater the resentment, the greater the black gas, and the resentment can also gather, and after reaching a certain level, it will be like a scene of black clouds rolling.

In the folk, when there is a lot of grievance, the local people will invite Taoist priests, mages and the like to deal with it, and the practice of exorcising evil spirits and bless the peace of people and a land, when there is a big grievance, it is enough to change the weather.

According to ancient legends, Dou E was burdened with great grievances, and there was no place to redress grievances, and before she died, she swore that her blood would be splattered on the white silk in the execution ground.

Heavy snow fluttered in the sky in June, and there was a drought in the local area for three years, these vows were all fulfilled after her death, and the world knew that Dou E was a strange injustice.

The so-called resentment is still a kind of power, and this power will evolve into a lot of things under special circumstances, that is, the corpses that die here will become zombies after the erosion of resentment.

Zombies use resentment and yin as energy, and after absorbing resentment and yin, zombies have the ability to bring disaster to the world.

Finally I stopped twenty meters in front of this village, Song Yu also stopped, took a deep breath, and saw that I stopped and didn't mean to move forward, so he guessed something, so he looked at me and said, "Feng Lin, do you see it?" ”

I nodded, and looked up at the moon in the sky, and sure enough, the moon was very round tonight, and in such an eerie place, I don't know what will happen on a full moon night?

I looked at Song Yu and asked, "I really didn't expect this place to be so eerie and terrifying, if you don't have some cultivation, I'm afraid you can't even get close to here, right?" ”

"Could it be that since the legend that circulated during the Qing Dynasty, no one has lived here? , surrounded by endless yin qi and resentment, how many dead people can only appear in this scene? ”
