Chapter 168: Sleeping with a Dried Corpse

I saw the group of zombies continue to walk under the big tree, their heads blank, looking at their backs in the cyan moonlight, and I suddenly remembered the legend of "Xiangxi chasing corpses" that I had heard before.

The so-called corpse chasing, also known as Miao Gu art, is that the corpse chaser uses the "secret technique" to bring the corpses of people who have died in a foreign land back to their hometowns and let them settle in the ground. This should be considered part of witchcraft. Chase away the corpse, together with Gu poison and Luohua Cave Girl, and call it the "Three Evils of Xiangxi".

There are also certain historical reasons why the exorcism of corpses became a popular witchcraft among the Miao people in the Xiangxi area of Hunan in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. In ancient times, the Xiangxi region was very poor, and there was no developed industry in the local area, so many Xiangxi people left their hometowns and went to work in other places. In the process of working, some people unfortunately die in a foreign land. The Chinese have a very strong rural complex, believing that if people cannot bury their bodies in their hometowns after death, they will become wandering ghosts. On the other hand, Xiangxi is located in a mountainous area, and the roads are mostly winding and narrow paths, and the corpses cannot be transported by cars, but can only be carried by people, which gives birth to the profession of chasing corpses. People who are engaged in the profession of chasing corpses are called "corpse chasers", and the local dialect is "shouting at the dead", but because the words "corpse" and "dead man" are taboo, "chasing corpses" is sometimes called "walking feet".

I have only seen the plot of Xiangxi chasing corpses in some film and television dramas before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes tonight, those zombies are indeed jumping on their own, I really see it, people have to believe it. So it seems that this old lady's son should be a corpse chaser, and he will definitely do witchcraft!

This kind of thing is too evil, it is better to be less troubled, I walked through the hall in horror, and the candle in front of the statue did not know when it was extinguished! When I returned to my room, the two of them were still asleep, and these two of them, before I went to bed, I also asked them to wake up at night, which was like playing the piano to the cow.

I got into the quilt and couldn't sleep for a while, I always felt that something was wrong.

Tossed until the middle of the night, just when I was about to fall asleep in a daze, suddenly a pair of cold and hard hands choked my neck, I woke up, opened my eyes, scared three souls off two and a half souls, a dry zombie was lying on top of me, through the faint moonlight outside the window I clearly saw that the pale face was Wei Shengjin, a pair of white eyes without black eyes almost against my eyebrows, the fangs in the mouth were also faintly visible, my neck was pinched by his nails like a knife cut pain, I wanted to shout but couldn't shout. While kicking the bed hard, I wanted to wake up Nie Gu, who was sleeping on the other side of the bed, and at the same time grabbed his neck with both hands and pushed it out.

I thought to myself, with my divine power to push away hundreds of tons of boulders, it is not a big problem to solve this zombie, but I can't really hurt him, in case he is really Wei Shengjin, I have to restrain him first, and then think of healing.

But people are not as good as heaven, and God actually played a joke on me at this life-and-death juncture, my arms did not show their divine power again, and the golden tattoo on my chest did not change in the slightest! What's worse is that this zombie's strength is not less than mine, maybe because I know that I have no divine power, I was terrified, not only did I not push him away, but he pinched my neck tighter and tighter, the sharp fangs closed one by one around my face, and the corpse in my mouth stinked. I felt that it was getting harder and harder to breathe, and my arms were gradually losing strength.

I couldn't help but be anxious and kicked Nie Gu on the other end, but when I realized that my foot was kicking a hard thing, my heart sank sharply: No! It's over!

Sure enough, as I expected, when I was choked by the zombie that Wei Shengjin turned into and couldn't move, there was another zombie next to me, he was Nie Gu who was kicked awake by me, both of them turned into zombies, and when I realized this, it was too late, Nie Gu had already crawled over from the other side of the bed, a dry and sallow face was in front of my eyes, the eyes were hollow and there were no eyeballs, and a mouth with a mouth full of fangs bit my arm, and occasionally chewed, I was already choked by the neck and it was getting harder and harder to breathe, but now he bit my arm, and a sharp pain came from my arm, and I screamed, trying to push them away from my body.

At this time, the door was slammed open, and Mrs. Jiang walked in with her son, I was overjoyed, this can be regarded as saved, this old lady Jiang's son will drive the corpse, and he will definitely subdue the two of them.

But when I was about to ask them for help, I saw that Mrs. Jiang came to my side, her wrinkled face smiled at me weirdly, and she leaned down and bit Wei Shengjin's thigh lying on top of me, and the zombie that Wei Shengjin became screamed, but those cold and hard hands still grabbed my neck and didn't let go, and at this time, Mrs. Jiang's son, who was standing on the side, suddenly opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs, The red tongue stretched out of his mouth like a snake and danced in the air, and bit at me, and I was so frightened and anxious that I felt more and more out of breath, and I couldn't exert any strength at all, and when the dagger-like fangs pierced into my neck, a piercing pain came over me, and my eyes were dark, and I didn't know what to do

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange big room, lying on a large bed, with my hands and feet tied with hemp rope, and on the two beds next to me, Wei Shengjin and Nie Gu were lying respectively, they seemed to be asleep, they seemed to be normal, they did not become zombies, but their faces were very pale.

Did I have a nightmare last night? It's also possible to see those zombies having nightmares last night.

I looked down and saw that the bite had been bandaged last night, but I still felt a burst of pain. As soon as I turned my head to see that the wound on my neck had been bandaged, I knew in my heart that what had happened last night must be real, or the wounds on my arms and neck would not have been explained.

Just when I was puzzled, the door opened, and a group of people walked in, led by none other than Jin Buliu, who claimed to be an immortal elder

"Brother Shen, long time no see! Haven't forgotten me yet? Jin Buliu sat on the sofa across the bed and said with a smile.

"We've let you go last time, you're getting even worse! It's all your handiwork, right? I asked angrily.

"You guessed right, but unfortunately you found out too late! What is the use of you people, you with well-developed limbs and simple minds, and you have brute strength? Jin Buliu said very proudly.

"Where is this? Where did you get Ye Lingwen and Ye Guangci? ”

"This is Jishou, you don't know, don't worry, they're all right! If I'm in a good mood, I can let you meet them."

"What did you do with the two of them?" I pointed at Wei Shengjin and Nie Gu and yelled at Jin Buliu.

"They're fine, they're just poisoned, have you heard of Gu poison? The Miao family's Gu poison ha! Kim laughed out loud without reluctance.

I was shocked, and I immediately understood that it must be the old woman. Because we haven't been in contact with anyone else along the way.

"It's true that you are stupid and don't wronged you, do you only understand now! That old woman is more than 100 years old, she is a famous witch of the Miao family in Xiangxi, a master of Gu, I have spent a lot of trouble in order to invite her out of the mountain! What is there in this Soul Mountain? Why are you people so stupid? Have you heard of any soul rejuvenation mountains in Xiangxi? ”

I really regret it, I feel like a fool, I have been being led by others by the nose, and I have also been involved with Nie Gu and Wei Shengjin.

"So you let that old lady wait at the gate of the Detam Scenic Area, whoever inquires about the Soul Mountain will suffer! Sure enough, the elder of the Elders' Association, what a means! I screamed in a fit of rage.

"Why are you suddenly smarter now?" Jin Buliu sat on the sofa and laughed, very proud. Then he asked me:

"But there's one thing I don't understand, it stands to reason that the old lady gave Gu to all three of you, why are only the two of him who have been tricked, but you're fine?"
