The heavens start from the Palace of Transferring Flowers

Chapter 99

The next day, after Jiang Chen finished eating the leftover grilled chicken, he washed his mouth and hands with the water in the water bag, and then rode on the horse and walked.

There was no one in sight on the empty path, and there was still a mountain ahead, Jiang Chen walked slowly, not in a hurry.

The weather today is really good, the sky is clear, the sun is mild and not too hot.

Jiang Chen comprehended the "Sound Demon Art" while he was on his way, this time passed quickly.

There are many martial arts cheats in this world, but there are very few skills about sound, so it is very precious to get one.

"Sound Demon Art" has three realms in total, Jiang Chen has only comprehended the first realm so far.

At this time, he is trying to comprehend the second realm.

With Jiang Chen's comprehension, it is difficult to comprehend it, let alone others.

Jiang Chen is not in a hurry. Now his strength is enough to protect himself, and he is not eager to improve his strength. Although he is not in a hurry, he will use all his time to practice, such as when he is on the road.

Alas!The three people in front walked in a line, and their costumes were also very strange.

The person in the front was dressed in black with a wide black belt around his waist.The huge straw hat covered most of his face.There is a pair of straw sandals under his feet, a bell is ringing in his right hand, and a small gong hammer is held in his left hand, occasionally hitting the small gong attached to his waist twice.The ringing of bells and gongs echoed for a long time on the lonely path, which was particularly ear-piercing.

Behind the man in black followed a group of lifeless people, walking their legs mechanically. They all wore loose black robes and tall bucket hats. Their faces were pale, and a piece of yellow paper with strange symbols was pressed on their foreheads.

What is this? It looks like a corpse, but the person in the front is not wearing a Taoist robe, is not carrying a mahogany sword behind him, and there is no gossip mirror.

Are the two walking behind dead people? Although they looked lifeless, Jiang Chen didn't believe that they were dead people.

Jiang Chen had seen the "Xiangxi Chasing Corpse" Lao Liang's story meeting, so he felt that he had met a "corpse chasing man".

This aroused Jiang Chen's interest.

He was very curious about how this "dead man" managed to drive the corpse, was it really as Lao Liang said.

The person in front is Lao Si, also known as the mortician, the bell in his hand is called the soul-destroying bell, and the small gong hanging on his waist is also called the Xiaoyin gong, followed by dead bodies that have been dead for many days.

Of course, Jiang Chen came through from the modern soul, so he didn't believe that there was a dead person behind him.

The origin of driving corpses can be traced back to ancient times.

Thousands of years ago, Chi You, the ancestor of the Miao nationality, led his army to go out to fight and fought with the enemy.Although the war was won, most of the soldiers died on the front line, and the dead bodies piled up like mountains.In order to allow the souls of the soldiers to return to their hometowns after they died in battle, Chi You specially ordered the army to do a trick to send the corpses of the brothers who died in battle back to their hometowns.

The military master was good at witchcraft, and he came to the dead soldiers. After a spell, all the corpses stood up miraculously. With the military master's "go", the corpses were under the guidance of the military master's "festival". Obediently embarked on the journey home.

In ancient times, there were many wars and bandits, robbers, and horse thieves. These foreigners who came to other places from thousands of miles abided by the traditional custom of returning to their roots with fallen leaves.In ancient times, waterways were often used in and out of western Hunan, but firstly, shipowners did not like to use boats to transport corpses, and secondly, the waterway out of Sichuan had to pass through the Three Gorges, where the current was fast and densely covered with hidden reefs, which brought great risks to the ships transporting corpses.

Therefore, the only way to move the corpses is to go over the mountains and over the mountains, and the corpse-hunting business came into being.

Jiang Chen followed them on horseback, and the path they walked happened to be the same as his own.

The people in the front heard the sound of horses behind them, turned their heads to look, and saw Jiang Chen riding a horse and following them.

The corpse driver looked at Jiang Chen a few times, then rang the bell, rang the gong, and shouted: "Three souls come out of the body, seven souls raise their heads, strangers avoid."

He repeated it several times, and Jiang Chen heard that he said it to himself on purpose.

Jiang Chen didn't want to, so he would slowly follow behind.

Lao Si called the work of exorcising corpses "walking feet".After receiving the "walking feet" business, the old company first had to recite a spell next to the corpse, and then apply cinnabar to the forehead, back, heart, palms, soles, etc. of the corpse, paste talisman paper, and then use cloth The strips are tight.It is said that in this way the seven souls of the corpse are sealed.

Then stuff cinnabar into the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth of the deceased to block the passage of the three souls.After a series of preparations, Lao Si began to chant the spell, and the corpse immediately stood up, following Lao Si on the long way home.

If there are too many corpses, Lao Si will connect them with a rope, or jump up the corpses with a long and thin bamboo pole, so as to control the direction and speed of the corpses.

Of course, in the process of driving the corpses, if they encounter steep slopes or high ridges that the corpses cannot climb, Lao Si will have to carry the corpses one by one.Therefore, Laosi generally requires good physical fitness.

The corpses are all picked at night, and they will stop at the "corpse shop" during the day. The "corpse shop" is not closed all the year round, because the corpses are placed behind the door panel. After the boss casts a spell on these corpses, they will stand against the wall until the spell is lifted at night and continue to move forward.

Seeing that Jiang Chen continued to follow, he stopped and walked to Jiang Chen's horse.

"What's the matter with you, why do you always follow us?"

"You are very strange. Is this road yours? I can walk as I like."

This "corpse chaser" choked for a moment, and had nothing to say.

After following for half an hour, the "corpse chaser" stopped to drink water, and Jiang Chen also took out a water bag to drink water.

Jiang Chen could clearly feel the throats of the two corpses behind move, which revealed that they were not dead corpses.

The "corpse man" turned the corpse around, and secretly gave water to the two people behind him.

Jiang Chen jumped down and came to his side, when he suddenly saw Jiang Chen, he was shocked.

"Catch me, these two are not zombies at all, tell me what the hell you are doing, don't tell me, I will kill you with a sword and turn you into a dead body."

Jiang Chen's acting skills are very good, these three people were obviously taken aback.

"We are the corpse chasers, and the two behind are my assistants. They are living people, and the real dead people are carried on their backs."

"You mean that the corpse was dismembered by you, then processed and carried on your back."

"Little brother is really smart."

Clever fart, this old Liang story has already been told, and now he is just verifying it.

This is not the world of fairy tales, so real zombies are impossible.

The rules of operation of each world are different.

Taking advantage of their rest time, Jiang Chen asked a lot, and the "corpse man" blurted out all of them because he was afraid of Jiang Chen.

Not all the corpses of Lao Si are rushed.In their business, there are "three rushes" and "three no rushes".

The so-called "three evictions" means that those who were beheaded, hanged, and died in cages all belong to the scope of eviction; while those who died of illness, suicide, and death by lightning are not included in the ranks of eviction.
