Chapter 7 Join if you can't beat it
"what should I do now?"

In the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the past dynasties in the village.

Smoky.

The smell of cigarettes and joss sticks rises and diffuses.

A group of people sat on wooden chairs painted with a layer of black paint, frowning.

Originally, Xiaoying awakened the same "corpse control" talent as her ancestors, which made them overjoyed.

There are endless legends about expelling corpses in Xiangxi, but no one knows that the so-called Xiangxi exorcising corpses are actually them, to be precise, they are people with common blood flowing in their bodies.

Since their ancestors conspired to revolt, but were punished by heaven and died.

These descendants have been hunted down by the Qing court.

In order to avoid chasing and killing.

They not only hid in the mountains, but also changed their names and surnames, changing their surname from 'Li' to 'Li'.

In that era, farming alone was not enough to feed the whole family, especially when natural disasters and crop failures occurred.

During a locust plague, the village had no crops. In order to make money to support the whole family, some of them who awakened the supernatural power of "controlling corpses" appeared as corpse exorcists in western Hunan, and secretly and low-key drove corpses back to their hometowns for the dead. get paid.

After the Yan Kingdom was established, for some reason, none of them awakened their talents.

The original "Xiangxi exorcist" naturally disappeared.

Until a few days ago, Li Ying suddenly awakened the talent of "controlling corpses". In order to test Li Ying's ability, they asked Li Ying to drive the corpse around the mountain. They thought that no one would wander around the mountain at night , but I didn't expect not only someone, but also an anchor...

"I watched it on the Internet, and there are videos to prove it, so this incident caused a great sensation. Many people came here to learn the 'destroyer technique'. Although they are currently going to the mountains, they will find out sooner or later. our."

Once wearing glasses, the gentle young man frowned.

Of the ten trending searches on Weibo, seven of them are related to corpse hunters.

I'm afraid the heat won't go down for a while.

"Xiao Nan, I heard from my niece that the trending search was removed. It seems that they can get them to remove the trending search with money?" asked an old man.

"It's true that you can spend money to cancel popular searches, but it costs a lot of money to cancel popular searches. The higher the popularity, the more money you spend. This time the incident is so big, it costs hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars. How can we With so much money... and spending money to cancel hot searches, isn't this place without 300 taels of silver, so you're not asking for it?" The young man shook his head and said.

Don't look at the mysterious power flowing in their blood, which can awaken special abilities.

But in fact, this village is actually the same as most rural areas in Yan State. It can rely on the land to be self-sufficient, and it will cost a lot of money, unless the land is expropriated and a large amount of compensation is received.

"What should I do?"

someone asked.

"We told them that there are no corpse exorcists in this world?"

"Do you think they'll listen?"

"How about we prohibit them from approaching our village, and whoever approaches our village will have their legs broken?"

"How can we have the right to prohibit others from entering the village? And what can we do if they don't listen to the persuasion and insist on coming in? Really break their legs? At that time, the money of all of us will not be enough to pay for medical expenses. Besides, in this cusp of wind and waves, you suddenly forbid them to approach, doesn't this clearly show that there is a problem?"

"..."

In the ancestral hall, everyone discussed with each other.

But a solution has never been discussed.

If they do nothing, they are bound to be discovered.

But if it is done, it will be discovered at a faster rate.

Do it or not, the result is the same.

And when everyone was at a loss, the gentle young man wearing glasses suddenly said, "Uncles and grandpas, I want to ask everyone why you don't want Li Ying's ability to be exposed?"

why?
When everyone heard the young man's words, they began to think.

Before they could come up with a result, the voice of the gentle young man with glasses rang out again.

"The reason why our ancestors are secretive, low-key, and quiet is because we were hunted down by the Qing court, but now that the Qing court is gone, no one comes to hunt us down, why should we continue to be secretive, low-key, and unobtrusive?" Make a statement?"

"Perhaps you want to say, what if it spreads out and is targeted by someone with a heart?"

"But do you think we can still hide it under such circumstances?"

"Instead of trying to hide it, why don't we take the initiative to explain it and communicate with the authorities... As long as we have a good attitude, the authorities will definitely not treat us badly, and as long as the authorities take action, is our current predicament still a predicament?"

Hearing this young man's words, a man who was a little older than him shook his head and said, "But after taking the initiative to confess, what should I do if I get tricked?"

"Get cheated? What do you have to be cheated? Is it your little money or the bit of porn hidden in your USB drive that deserves to be cheated?"

Wearing glasses, the gentle young man said disdainfully.

And the man who was a little older than him blushed immediately after hearing the porn.

"Yes, I also know that after the confession, it will inevitably be investigated and interrogated. Li Ying even has to cooperate with drawing blood, taking a little hair, and even observing and observing, but what's the point of this? It's purely a medical examination."

"Other than that, what's the downside? No, for the officials, it's Li Ying who deserves attention, not us farmers who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky. On the contrary, if we take the initiative to explain, in order to let Li Ying Cooperate well, maybe the official will give us a little sweetness."

"For example, introduce a few iron rice bowls with leisure and good benefits."

"Uncle Minying, I remember that your son has been taking the public examination for two years, but he has not been able to pass the exam so far. Don't you think that as long as we actively cooperate, your son will definitely be able to pass?"

"Uncle Yu Ze, I remember that your daughter has been taking medicine for illness the year before last, and you are also worrying about the high cost of medicine. Don't you think that as long as we actively cooperate, the problem of medicine cost can be solved?"

"Uncle Mo, you..."

"Uncle Ning..."

Wearing glasses, the gentle young man nodded one by one, and the hearts of all the people he pointed to were moved.

For these people who are already five, six, seven or eighty years old.

It doesn't matter how you are, but wives/daughters/sons are all darlings. If they can bring benefits to them, they will really be attracted.

Seeing that everyone's hearts moved, the gentle young man wearing glasses immediately said while the iron was hot, "If everyone trusts me, I will report to the official, I will go to the official to talk, and I can give you whatever you want. Everyone fight for it."

As he said that, the young man's eyes hidden behind the glasses became hot.

As the only fourth college student in the village, he knew better than anyone present what the ability of 'controlling corpses' meant to the authorities.

He also knows what benefits he can get if he takes the initiative to dedicate someone with this ability.

So he spared no effort to persuade everyone to surrender.
