Chapter 1 I am the living dead
My name is Chen Xian, and I am a living dead.
I died on the second day of October in '98.
Again, that day was the day I was born.
Uncle Li said that when he picked me up, I was already frozen.
He saw that I was pitiful, and took me home, wrapped me in animal skins, and sent me to a mass grave in the mountains, otherwise I would not have even had a chance to be the living dead.
One might ask, what is this living dead? What is the difference between ordinary people and ordinary people?
My answer is, it doesn't make a difference, both on the outside and on the inside.
The only difference is that the living dead have no soul, and after death, heaven and earth do not tolerate it, and the six realms are not accepted.
But these are things that cannot be seen or touched, at least, for ordinary people.
Uncle Li's real name is Li Jiangshui, and he is a pig killer in the village and a part-time duangong.
On weekdays, he will be asked to help with the red and white ceremonies in the village.
It can be said that Uncle Li's status in the village is second only to the village chief.
But he is such a man, but he has been a bachelor all his life.
I asked the reason, and Uncle Li said that he had committed five evils and three shortcomings, and he could only live alone in this life.
So, even though he adopted me, he only asked me to call him uncle, not dad.
Since I was a child, Uncle Li has treated me very well, and he gave me the best conditions he could.
When I reached the age of going to school, Uncle Li spent a lot of money to send me to the best primary school in the county.
However, on my first day of school, I was asked to be a parent for a fight with my classmates.
The reason is very simple, those children don't know where they heard it, saying that I was a lone star, and I was born to kill my parents, and anyone who gets too close to me will be killed by me.
I couldn't get angry, so I scuffled with them, but after all, two fists are no match for four hands.
Several children worked together to put me down, and one of them, the little fat man, sat on my back and rode me like a horse.
I was carried away by the anger and opened my mouth to bite off a piece of meat from the little fat man's leg.
I was expelled from school because of this.
Uncle Li even paid a lot of money for the little fat man's family.
But when I got home, Uncle Li didn't blame me.
He led me to the backyard, threw me a boning knife, and pointed to the fattest pig in the pigsty.
"You go and stab it to death, and we'll eat its flesh tonight!"
I was terrified that the pig was more than three or four of my size.
But I didn't dare to disobey Uncle Li's intentions, and walked into the pigsty with a knife.
After a while, I was arched out by the pig, covered in pig.
I glanced at Uncle Li, his expression was indifferent, and I choked back the words that came to my lips.
I picked up the knife and went back and forth four times, and each time I was confessed by the pig, and my body was bruised and purple.
When I was about to go in the fifth time, Uncle Li stopped me.
"It's okay, you can't kill it!"
Turning around, Uncle Li took out a piglet from the pigsty that had not yet been weaned.
"Kill it!"
I hesitated, then stabbed with my sword.
After a terrible pig cry, my face was splashed with blood.
"Know why you were able to kill this pig? But can't you kill the fattest one? Uncle Li asked me.
"Because it's not fat enough?" I replied weakly.
Uncle Li shook his head: "Because it's weak!" ”
"And you're stronger than him, so you can kill it!"
"This world has always been the law of the jungle, if you are weak, you deserve to be beaten!"
"I don't blame you for today's incident, but I'm happy for you!"
"Because you were bullied and didn't admit it, if others dare to hurt you, you dare to let them bleed!"
"You're ruthless enough, like me!" With that, Uncle Li picked up the little pig and turned to leave.
That night, Uncle Li threw me a yellowed and quaint broken book.
He told me that I didn't need to learn, and that I would follow him to learn the craft in the future.
The knowledge in the broken book is all related to yin and yang techniques and feng shui.
Uncle Li asked me to teach myself, and if I didn't understand, I would look up the dictionary, and if I really didn't understand, I would ask him.
From that day on, I followed Uncle Li to kill pigs and set up a stall during the day, and went back to the room alone at night to study the contents of the book.
Time flashed, I was twelve years old, and one afternoon, Uncle Li suddenly asked me, how did I learn about the Extreme Yin Land?
I said: "There are many places in the extreme yin land in the gossip of the kun position, which is a place where yin accumulates and evil is gathered, and ghosts are buried but not people, Uncle Li, why are you asking this?" ”
Uncle Li didn't answer, took the shop, and led me to the halfway point of the back mountain.
Here, there is a small pond facing southwest, which is a piece of extremely yin land.
On both sides of the pond, weeds are overgrown, and there is a dead animal similar to a cat or dog floating in the pool.
Uncle Li stepped forward and fished out the corpse, and then I saw that it was not a corpse at all, but an animal skin!
Suddenly, I remembered that back then, Uncle Li wrapped me in an animal skin and buried me in a mass grave, so that I could come back to life and become a living dead.
Seeing my surprised look, Uncle Li opened his mouth and said, "See? This extremely yin place is where I buried you in the first place! ”
"This animal skin is actually a weasel skin, and it is also why I can save you and make you the main medium of the living dead!"
"Medium?" I don't seem to understand.
Uncle Li nodded: "Although you are a living dead, this life on your body is actually borrowed by me." ”
"Borrowed?" I was a little shocked: "So, do I have to do it still?" ”
"It was supposed to be returned, but now I don't have to!"
"Why?"
"The immortal family who borrowed your Yangshou died last night!"
"His brother was also hacked to death on the street!"
"At the beginning, I borrowed eighteen years of yang life from that immortal family, and I wanted to ensure that you would be eighteen years old, and after crossing the reincarnation tribulation, you could live in the world like a normal person, and even have a longer lifespan than them."
"But now, there are still six years left, but the immortal family is dead, without the protection of the immortal family, the six years of yang life on your body will definitely arouse the concerns of other spirits and evil spirits."
I panicked: "So what should I do?" ”
Uncle Li said that on the fifteenth day of every month, I must come to this extremely yin place, wrapped in animal skins and stay from dark to dawn.
As for the rest of the time, as long as it gets dark, I have to stay in my room and not go out for half a step.
I answered them one by one, and when I got home, that night, I began to follow this rule.
Six years have been like a day, and I can be said to be obedient to Uncle Li's words, and I dare not slack off.
In this way, time passed, and as I grew up day by day, Uncle Li also visibly aged.
People who are obviously less than fifty years old kill pigs every day and practice tendon meat.
But he was full of silver hair and wrinkles, and he looked like he was seventy or eighty.
On the eve of my eighteenth birthday, Uncle Li vomited blood and fell ill and was bedridden.
