"This Jiang Daya has drunk so much wine, and he is still walking quite fast, could it be that he is going to meet some old friends?" Lu Xu smiled and said jokingly.

"What, Brother Lu, I hate it. Bai Ling'er blushed when she heard this, and glared at Lu Xu with disgust.

It's just that when Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er walked through the alley and turned a corner, looking at the women who were wearing revealing clothes and behaving coquettishly under the dim light, leaning against the door of their respective small houses, the corners of Lu Xu's mouth twitched slightly, and he was actually hit by his own nonsense.

"This son, let's have some fun. ”

Looking at the woman walking towards him, Lu Xu showed a strange look on his face, waved his hand, and asked, "This eldest sister, I want to ask ......?"

"What eldest sister, I'm really big here, son, don't you touch it?" The woman wore a very low corset, and the padded jacket was also set aside in winter, directly revealing a piece of snow white inside, although the sky was dark, Lu Xu still saw it clearly, it was really big.

"I asked you a question, and you answered me truthfully, and the money is yours. ”

Lu Xu took his eyes away from the woman's chest, took a step back, and took out a silver ingot from her arms, the woman saw the silver in Lu Xu's hand, and grabbed it with a smile, "This son, if you have any questions, just ask, even if you want to know how many girls there are here, which sister has the biggest breasts and the best life, I will tell you the truth." My sister's kung fu is very powerful, and it is guaranteed to be better than the little girl next to my son. ”

"Shameless. Hearing this, Bai Ling'er was like a kitten guarding food, frowned and glared at the woman, and asked, "Where did the man in the animal skin jacket who just walked in from here go?"

"Well, it's in the house in front. ”

The woman pointed to a room not far away, the light in this room was still on, and this alley was the kind of one-story building, all of which were wild kilns. In a moment, from time to time, a man came out of the room, and then a scantily clad woman stood in the doorway again, leaning lazily. From time to time in the houses, there were bursts of moaning, one after another.

"Let's go, let's go out and wait for him. ”

Lu Xu shook his head, did not decide to step forward, but withdrew from the alley with Bai Ling'er, and decided to wait for Jiang Daya at the mouth of the alley.

"It's shameless...... the two walked into a dark alley where no one was around, Bai Ling'er was still muttering in her mouth, but she didn't know what she stepped on, and when she was taken aback, her body tilted violently, and she was about to fall.

Lu Xu didn't expect Bai Ling'er to suddenly fall down at this time, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to fish, and suddenly the two bodies collided together, huddled together almost without any distance, and a rich fragrance rushed into Lu Xu's nose, and the scene of a moaning sound he heard just now ignited the heat in his heart like a spark.

When Bai Ling'er found that she was being held tightly by Lu Xu, she was a little embarrassed and wanted to speak, but she didn't expect that the other party suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed her waist from the side, and hugged herself in her arms.

Lu Xu didn't know why he took Bai Ling'er in his arms with a ghostly hand, and when this move was made, he regretted it a little.

But just then, there was a sound of footsteps.

The sound of footsteps in the alley woke up the two people who were immersed in this fiery atmosphere, Lu Xu seemed to be a little reluctant when he pulled his hand out of Bai Ling'er's underwear in front of him, while Bai Ling'er, who was in a hurry, was busy sorting out his clothes.

"I'm sorry, Ling'er. Lu Xu's words made Bai Ling'er, who didn't dare to look at Lu Xu, blush slightly, glanced at the other party a little coquettishly, and said coquettishly: "I hate it, you still say it." ”

Soon, a figure appeared at the mouth of the alley, the animal skin jacket was open, humming some unknown tunes, and walking slowly towards this side, it was Jiang Daya.

"Jiang Daya. ”

Just as Jiang Daya was about to walk out of the alley, Lu Xu suddenly shouted with a smile.

"Who are you? I don't seem to know you. Jiang Daya looked at Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er and asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, we met for the first time, we didn't know each other before, I also live in that inn, I heard your conversation with the shopkeeper before, and I want to negotiate a deal with you. Lu Xu smiled slightly.

"Talking about trading?" Jiang Daya glanced at Lu Xu with some confusion and asked, "What kind of business." ”

"I know you're going to Kuijia Village tomorrow, as long as you can take us to Kuijia Village, I'm willing to pay you a hundred taels of silver. Lu Xu replied with a smile.

"Take you to Kuijia Village, what are you going to do in Kuijia Village?" Jia Daya listened to Lu Xu's words, his expression suddenly became serious, and a pair of eyes stared at Lu Xu tightly.

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you can send us to Kuijia Village, we will give you the money immediately, and then you can go about your business. Lu Xu said.

"Did you hear the words of the previous shopkeeper, so you only knew that I was passing by Kuijia Village, so you wanted me to lead the way?" Jiang Daya seemed to be sure of it.

"That's right. Lu Xu nodded.

"It's not impossible to take you to Kuijia Village, but one hundred taels of silver is a bit low. Jiang Daya grabbed the handful of beard on his chin and looked at Lu Xu with a smile.

"Okay, I'll give you two hundred taels, pay a deposit of one hundred taels first, and give you the other one hundred taels when they arrive. Lu Xu knew what Jiang Daya meant, and he didn't hesitate, and directly doubled the price.

"Hehe, Childe is really refreshing, then I have no problem, as long as Childe can agree to my last request, I will take you to Kuijia Village." Jiang Daya said.

"Jiang Daya, you don't have to make an inch, I believe that you are not the only one in this county who knows Kuijia Village. Lu Xu said with a frown.

"This son, I am indeed not the only one in this county who knows how to go to Kuijia Village, but it is not me Jiang Daya who dares to go to Kuijia Village, and I am the only one in the entire county. And my last request is also for your good, if you don't agree, then forget it. Jiang Daya said.

"Speak up and listen. Lu Xu frowned.

"That is, you must listen to my instructions along the way, no matter what happens or what happens, you must not make your own decisions, if you can do it. We'll leave together tomorrow. Jiang Daya said solemnly.

"Okay, no problem. Lu Xu readily agreed.

Then, Lu Xu gave Jiang Daya a hundred taels of silver, and agreed to wait at the door of the inn before dawn tomorrow, why was the time chosen so early, Jia Daya did not explain, Lu Xu just smiled and did not ask more.

After Jiang Daya took the one hundred taels of silver given by Lu Xu into his arms, he was about to walk towards the side of the alley again, Lu Xu looked at Jia Daya with some amusement, and hugged Bai Ling'er over and said, "Ling'er, stay with me tonight." ”

"No...... No way...... I have to go tomorrow, I really can't do it......" Hearing this, Bai Linger's little face immediately turned red, and she shook her head again and again in a panic.

"Hehe, I'm kidding you. Lu Xu touched his nose and kissed Bai Ling'er's tender cheek.

Bai Ling'er glanced at Lu Xu with disgust, snuggled into his arms, and asked with some doubts: "Brother Lu, why do we have to find this Jiang Daya? I think this Jiang Daya is weird and weird, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary person." ”

"You can also see that this ginger tooth is not simple. Lu Xu glanced at Bai Ling'er with some surprise.

"Well, I can't tell, but I just think he's weird. Bai Ling'er rubbed in Lu Xu's arms.

"Ling'er, what kind of person this Jiang Daya is, when you go on the road tomorrow, you will almost know. Lu Xu gave Bai Ling'er a mysterious smile, hugged her and turned around and walked back towards the inn......

In fact, according to the smell on Jiang Daya's body, Lu Xu guessed that he was a corpse chaser at the first time. There has been such a profession in southern Xinjiang for a long time, this is due to the complex terrain of southern Xinjiang, many large mountain ranges, once someone dies in a foreign land, it is difficult for the corpse to return to his hometown, which gave birth to the profession of corpse chaser.

The corpse chaser generally receives such a job, the first step will be to do things and recite a spell, and then dispose of the corpse of the person who died in a foreign land, generally cinnabar, that is, the best kind of cinnabar, placed in the deceased's brain, back heart, chest and heart, left and right hand plate heart, foot palm and other seven places, each place is pressed with a talisman seal, and then tied with five-colored cloth strips. According to the ancestor of the corpse chaser, these seven places are the places where the seven orifices enter and exit, and they are sealed with cinnabar talismans in order to retain the seven spirits of the deceased.

In the second step, some cinnabar is stuffed into the ears, nose and mouth of the deceased, and then sealed with a talisman written on cinnabar. The rules for driving out corpses are that the ears, nose, and mouth are the places where the three souls enter and exit, and by doing so, they can remain in the body of the deceased.

In the third step, the neck of the deceased is covered with cinnabar and a talisman seal, tied tightly with strips of five-colored cloth, and then the deceased is clothed with a dumpling leaf hat. When everything was done, the corpse chaser finished reciting the incantation and shouted "Rise", and the corpse stood up......

The people who drive the corpses are generally dressed as Taoist priests, and when they do things, they walk in front of these corpses draped in black corpse cloth. No matter how many corpses there were, he was the one who drove them. No matter what the weather, you must wear a pair of straw sandals, a green cloth gown, a black belt around your waist, a green cloth hat on your head, a gong in your hand, and a bag of charms hidden in your waist bag.

The corpse chaser is not behind the corpse, but leads the way in front of the corpse, and does not play the lantern, because he is leading the group of corpses forward while beating the small yin gong in his hand, shaking a soul bell in his hand to let the night walkers avoid it, and notify the people who have dogs to lock up the dogs. If there were more than two corpses, the corpse chaser would string the corpses one by one with straw ropes, one at a distance of seven or eight feet, and when he walked in the dark, he would put a high blanket hat on his head and a few pieces of yellow paper with talismans on his forehead and hang down his face. However, these rules have been gradually lost after hundreds of thousands of years, and the current corpse chasers no longer follow the rules left in the past, and look the same as ordinary people.

There is also a "dead corpse inn" on the way to drive the corpse, this mysterious "dead corpse inn", only the dead corpse and the corpse chaser live, ordinary people do not live. Its doors are open all year round. Because behind the two large doors is the place where the corpse rests.

The corpse chaser drove the corpse, arrived at the "corpse shop" before dawn, and quietly left at night. The corpses were all standing neatly against the wall behind the door panels. When it was difficult to walk in heavy rain, I stopped in the store for a few days and nights.

Two or three days before arriving at the destination, the family of the deceased will generally be notified, the clothes and coffins will be prepared, and as soon as the "deceased" arrives, the deceased will be dressed in a long coat and a hat and shoes will be put into the shoumu. This kind of burial process is all borne by the "corpse" person, and no one else is allowed to interfere and watch, just as the corpse is "lifted out of the coffin" when setting off, peeping is not allowed. It is said that at these critical moments, as soon as the living approach the corpse, there will be a danger of "shocking the corpse" and "defrauding the corpse", and the burial process must be in the middle of the night. All arrangements are ready, that is, after the deceased is buried, the bereaved family will go to claim it. As soon as the lid of the coffin is lifted and the face of the dead body inside is clearly seen, the mourning begins.

The profession of corpse chaser is also limited to the southern Xinjiang region, because only such a complex geographical environment can have the soil for corpse chasers to survive.

And corpse chasers, due to years of contact with corpses, will generally be contaminated with corpse gas. If it is dried for a long time, the corpse qi enters the body, then the longevity will be damaged. Therefore, if there is no Taoist corpse chaser, generally speaking, the life span will not be very long, and the face is pale and emaciated.

And based on Lu Xu's observation of Jiang Daya, the corpse qi on this person's body has invaded the viscera, which shows that it has not been a day or two to do this. Moreover, if he had never practiced the exercises, if he continued like this, he might not live to be fifty years old.
