Chapter 19: Song Saburo
"Especially the latter, in many places lynching is severe, and the punishment is also extremely cruel, including five punishments, sawing, cannon branding, human slaughter, cooking, skinning, and so on."
"These people are very angry when they die, and sometimes they will make trouble! The more miserable the death, the more violent the trouble. ”
"At this time, there is a need for the industry of corpse bearers, and some people call them corpse chasers."
"Every profession has its own taboos and rules, such as the industry of corpse bearers, and it is necessary to pay great attention to those who are beheaded."
"Some people are very angry after being beheaded, and such two corpses can't be buried in one place, otherwise there will be murder."
"This kind of place where the two sections of corpses are buried needs to be extremely cautious, and it needs to be able to block evil, and the river is a common place."
Li Yanchu said simply, even so, Wang Zhutou's eyes had changed.
He just asked tentatively, but he didn't expect Yan Chudao to understand so much at such a young age.
Wang Zhutou said: "Yan Chu Dao is really an extraordinary person. ”
For Lao Wang's boast of Li Yanchu, who was already immune, his heart moved.
Li Yanchu asked, "What happened to Wang Zhutou?" ”
Wang Zhutou nodded and said with a wry smile: "That's right, if it weren't for Yan Chudao's suggestion, I would have half understood, and I'm afraid I would have made some big mistakes." ”
"I received a report from the county government today that two corpse bearers, an old man and a young man, were passing by Weicheng, but they were both missing and their whereabouts are unknown."
"It wasn't until today that one of them came to the Yamen to report the case and wanted to ask the Yamen to send someone to find someone, and I only remembered it in my heart, if it wasn't for Fang Caiyan's first Taoist explanation, I would have almost missed a big deal."
Li Yanchu: "......."
Lao Wang, what kind of physique are you, how do you have a meal together, it's either this or that.
Compared with Wang Zhutou, Li Yanchu knows some taboos in the profession of corpse bearer.
Like this, who travels long distances to carry corpses, I am afraid that before he dies, he will be extremely resentful and die a very miserable death.
Such a corpse is extremely prone to accidents.
Li Yanchu frowned and said, "I don't know what kind of corpse the corpse bearer threw this time?" ”
Wang Zhutou sighed: "It is a two-piece corpse of unknown origin. ”
Li Yanchu sank in his heart and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Wang Zhutou said: "According to the corpse bearer who reported the case, they are from Liujia Village, Yang County. ”
"On that day, a villager in Liujia Village got married, and the whole village went to drink the wedding wine, only the man who went up the mountain to collect medicine and fell to his death a few days ago left someone in his house to keep a watch."
"I didn't expect that the corpse that had been in the coffin for seven days disappeared and became a strange two-piece corpse."
"I almost scared the villagers who were guarding the spirit to death, and Li Zheng immediately reported to the official, but the body of the man who fell to death has never been found."
"And the local county government did not execute the prisoners who were beheaded, and no one knows the origin of the two corpses."
"But strange things began to happen in the village, first the livestock died inexplicably, and then many villagers fell unconscious with fevers."
"The old man in the village felt that the strange corpse was causing trouble, so he sent someone to invite the most famous corpse bearer in the neighborhood to come and dispose of the two corpses."
"These two corpse bearers are a pair of uncles and nephews, and when they passed by Wei City, not only the older corpse bearers, but also the strange two corpses were all missing."
Li Yanchu's eyes showed a look of thought, this matter did not seem so simple.
Wei Cheng has been quiet for many years, but he seems to be a little restless lately.
Wang Zhutou said: "I know that I have troubled Yanchu Daoist many times, and I really can't help it, but now that the Tsing Yi Temple Fair is approaching, I really can't make a mess, and I also ask Yanchu Daoist to go with me to search for the corpse bearer and the two corpses." ”
Li Yanchu knew that Wang Zhutou would say this, but it was not surprising.
It's just that the four words of Tsing Yi Temple Fair said by Wang Zhutou caught his attention.
"Could it be related to the recent Tsing Yi Festival?" Li Yanchu said in his heart.
Regarding Wang Zhutou's request, Li Yanchu still agreed.
He has long been integrated into this world, and it is good to be able to do what he can.
It is not for the reward of the yamen and the merit obtained by killing demons.
......
On the road, the wind and dust are rolling.
Two carriages left the city.
Each carriage was driven by a sword-wielding officer.
Li Yanchu sat in the first car with Wang Zhutou.
Following Li Yanchu's suggestion, Wang Zhutou did not bring many people here.
There were only four shrewd and capable officials and another young corpse bearer.
This world may be due to the abundance of aura, and the carriage runs relatively fast.
Soon they came to a village.
The village was frighteningly quiet as far as the eye could see, with dead vines crawling on the walls, and no one in every house.
The carriage stopped on the side of the road.
Out of the second carriage came a broad-eared young man, somewhat lean.
"This is where my uncle disappeared."
The young man's voice was a little hoarse.
He is the young corpse bearer who came to the Yamen to report the case, and the missing person is his third uncle.
Li Yanchu and Wang Zhutou walked down and looked around.
Wang Zhutou said to Li Yanchu: "Yanchu Dao, this place was originally called Zhangjiazhuang, but there was a strange thing, more than ten villagers were cut off their heads overnight and placed neatly at the door. ”
"The case caused a sensation at first, but the murderer could not be found after many days."
"A famous Taoist priest said that it was haunted, and the evil asked for his life, and this statement coupled with the tragedy in Zhangjiazhuang, the villagers of Zhangjiazhuang gradually moved out of here and became a deserted village."
Since Wang Zhutou experienced the fact that Zhao Zhutou became an evil corpse, now he feels furious when he hears this kind of ghost corpse.
I deliberately went to the county to check, but I didn't expect that the place where the corpse bearer disappeared turned out to be a murderous village.
Speaking of this at this time, Wang Zhutou's voice carried an unknown hint of nervousness.
Li Yanchu nodded, but he didn't have much emotion.
What kind of ghosts and evil spirits, he sees it much more lightly than ordinary people.
How to say it.
That's what the profession does, but it's okay to be afraid of ghosts?
Li Yanchu used the Qi Lookout technique to check the village, but found nothing.
If it's not that there is no problem here, or that the evil in this place is so strong that he can't see anything abnormal.
He didn't tell the truth to Wang Zhutou, but just said a word of caution.
The young corpse bearer is called Song Sanlang, and Li Yanchu confirmed again: "Are you sure that when you wake up, your third uncle will be gone?" ”
Song Saburo nodded and said, "That's right." ”
"The corpse bearer deals with the dead all year round, and he also has his own unique methods, so it is said that he will not be easily victimized by evil spirits." Li Yanchu said.
He's right, corpse bearers are all stunts, and their lives are very hard, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do this business.
