My name is Wu Haibing.

My hometown is in a remote mountain village in Xiangxi, and our village is very poor, and there is still no network coverage in the village for many years.

The only concrete road has only been built in recent years.

I was the only college student in my village who came out.

For this reason, our family held a banquet and celebrated for three days and three nights.

The whole village was overjoyed.

When I was very young, I always liked to listen to my grandfather's stories.

But every time I listened to it, I couldn't sleep.

According to my grandfather, something strange always happened in ancient times.

In ancient times, the criminal law was cruel, and officials in various places even abused lynching and mutilated the people for their own interests.

Some of them are the most vicious and evil in criminal law, and after death, people will have resentment and some strange things will happen.

Like the five punishments, the basin, the punishment, the cooking, the human body, the skinning, the waist beheading, the car splitting, the intestines, the five horses divided into corpses, the pig cage, the burial alive, the disembowelment...... and so on, all of which are in the mouth of grandpa, the most common torture death method in ancient times.

The five horses are divided into five horses, that is, the feet, hands, and heads of the people are covered with hemp ropes, tied to the horses, and five people are riding on horseback, pulling the criminal in the air, as long as the executioner gives an order, the five horses run in different directions at the same time, until the criminal's body is torn into five pieces.

Skinning, the most cruel of the ancient criminal law, first pressed the person on the execution table, by five people at the same time, the execution began with the criminal's hands, hands and feet, mouth, and cut the human skin at the same time.

And they have very good techniques, their movements are very slow, they will not let the criminals die immediately, and during the execution, the criminals can see their own human skin being cut off little by little.

The whole process takes one to three hours, and some criminals are scared to death before their skins are cut.

Some criminals are able to hold out to the end, watching alive as human skin is cut off of themselves.

Death is often referred to as Ling Chi execution. Before the execution, the fishing net covers the whole body and tightens it, and then cuts the knife from the foot to cut the bumps raised in the fishing net, so that the prisoner does not die, and the criminal law does not stop.

It is said that some prisoners were cut for three days and three nights before they completely lost their breath.

These criminal laws, one worse than the other, were simply appalling, and I was very young at the time, only four or five years old, and whenever I heard these stories, I would be so frightened that I would not dare to sleep.

But I can't help but be curious and want to listen to my grandfather's story.

According to my grandfather, these tragic people had a lot of grievances before they died, and they didn't go away after they died.

Especially the person who was divided into five horses and beheaded by the waist had the heaviest resentment during his lifetime, and the corpses must not be buried together, otherwise there will be demons.

Such people are generally buried in places with rivers, rivers and lakes, and mountains, which means that one knife is cut in two, and the three souls and seven souls are incomplete, so as to prevent the corpse from becoming a corpse after death.

Especially the kind of person who can't swallow his breath for a long time during the execution, he is extremely angry after death, and he must be cautious about the disposal of this kind of corpse, otherwise if he is not careful, the corpse may change and form ghosts and harm people.

This is also the reason why some ancient corpses can survive thousands of years without decay.

Some corpses with extreme resentment will also undergo corpse transformation, forming zombies, killing people and eating people everywhere.

My grandfather said that in ancient times, zombies often appeared and sucked people's essence and blood, because the resentment of the corpse was too heavy after death and it was not dealt with properly.

The reason why there is no record of zombies in the history books now, and they only appear in Zhiwei novels, is because they were erased by historians.

If there were no zombies in ancient times, how could such a thing be written in a Zhiwei novel?

Fabricated out of thin air, imagined out of thin air, and also need a template for reference and thinking, such as empty ground.

This kind of tragic death is so angry that ordinary people don't dare to approach it at all, so we Xiangxi corpse bearers are derived.

The corpse bearer is also known as the corpse chaser! Corpse chaser! Or Soul Shifting!

Many people think that this kind of profession is just a rumor in the ancient feudal society, but they don't know it......

Actually, it's real!

According to my grandfather, corpse chasers have a long history, dating back to antiquity.

It's just that the era is different now, and the corpse chaser is gradually disappearing from people's sight.

The reason why my grandfather knew so much about these things was because ......

My grandfather is the corpse bearer, and my family has been the corpse bearer since the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.

I remember when I was very young, about ten years old, my second uncle hid from my grandfather, did a business, and carried a skinned corpse.

Outcome......

A few days later, my second uncle's body was dumped in a dry well at the entrance of the village, drenched in blood and human skin......

Gone!

……

Chen Limao was in the bed, covering herself tightly, looking at the novel, her little face was pale with fright, her body was a little trembling, and she quickly exited the novel page.

Looking at the time, it was already 22 o'clock in the evening.

The endless starry sky outside, pitch black as ink, like a dark cage, enveloping people.

Syllable!

The light switch sounded in the dark, dead night, and a bright light dispelled the darkness, and the whole room lit up instantly.

A ray of light, the only salvation in the darkness!

Chen Li got up and took a long breath, the bright lights, like a spiritual pillar, made her relax a lot.

touched his back, only to realize that he had already broken out in a cold sweat.

Chen Li got up and got out of bed and came to the bathroom.

Syllable!

The switch sounds, and a bright light dispels the darkness and illuminates the surroundings.

The bathroom is four or five square meters, with simple furnishings, only some toiletries, a mirror that can see the whole body, and a small window on the wall.

Since it was a hot day and the weather was hot, Chen Li took a bath directly with cold water.

With a bang, the shower opened, and the cold water fell on the white and flawless body.

Chen Li has long hair, fair skin, a slender figure, and a very big beauty, so she put a big mirror in the bathroom.

The water fell on her body, and the slightest trace of it was cool, dispelling the cold sweat on her body.

Chen Li washed away the cold sweat on her body, her mind was full of the content of the novel she had just read, and whenever she thought of her, she felt scared and her heart beat faster.

I don't know if it's the author, who deliberately wrote it out to be scary.

Call!

Call!

Suddenly, the wind blew outside the window, and the half-open window creaked.

Chen Li was immersed in the story of the novel, and she was already a little scared, and the sudden creaking sound of the window was like a mourning bell, which startled her into a cold sweat.

The cold air blew in through the window, and the temperature of the entire bathroom became a little cold.

Chen Li walked to the window and looked out, under the pitch black night, endless darkness shrouded all around, like a monster devouring everything.

It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers, and the wind was howling, like a ghost crying, and the branches of the trees were rattling.

Chen Li was frightened in her heart, her scalp was numb, she slammed the window, cut off everything outside, and stood under the shower, drenched in cold water.

I don't know if it's an illusion, she feels that the bathroom is very cold tonight, not the water is cold, but the whole room is cold.

The cold was biting, and it was so cold that I had goosebumps all over my body, which made people very uncomfortable.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, she feels that tonight's bathroom is very strange, and there seems to be a pair of eyes staring at her directly, which makes her heart furious.

Suddenly......

A cold air came from her neck, making her shiver.

It's like......

It was as if someone was standing behind her and blowing cold air on her neck......
