The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 7 DVDs
If I had to use one sentence to describe the scene I saw on the DV, it would be like a person who was watching a very real documentary, but the scene suddenly changed and changed to an American thriller for you.

This feeling is particularly shocking, even distorted. After reading it, I doubt whether what I just saw is a hallucination.

The picture on the DV was frozen at the last scene, and a big hand stretched out towards the camera.This hand belonged to Tan Ren, obviously it was the action before he planned to turn off the phone after recording, and before that, the whole video was like an edited horror movie.

I swallowed my saliva, and after a while I managed to speak: "What's going on? Is the thing photographed above real?"

Tan Ren took a sip of his coffee, and instead of answering my question, he frowned and said, "Look at your potential."

I don't know what expression is on my face at this moment. To be honest, my mind is full of the scene just now.

In the picture, the two gangsters and the six big men were meeting. The two parties seemed to be discussing something. They walked to the corner of the bungalow. After a while, there seemed to be a quarrel, and the two sides started to fight.Six big guys surrounded the two punks and beat them up.

When I watched it, I still felt relieved, thinking that a dog bites a dog, hits, hits hard.

But soon, the scene suddenly changed again, and a cluster of flames rose from several people. No one knew how the fire came from. It was set by a gangster, obviously deliberately set it on fire after being beaten.

What followed was a chaotic scene, with the fire quickly spreading.

Normal people, if they accidentally catch fire on their upper body, they will definitely find ways to put out the fire, such as rolling on the ground, if rolling on the ground can't put it out, they will definitely run to the nearest water source.

In fact, on the open space outside the bungalow, that is, on the opposite side, more than ten meters away from the fire, there is an old-fashioned sink with several faucets on it, and a vegetable basket beside the sink, which should be used for those disabled children. For cooking.

At first, those people did roll on the ground, but there seemed to be something added to the fire, and it couldn't be extinguished at all.It stands to reason that we should go to the place where the faucet is. However, what makes people feel creepy is that, except for the two punks, the remaining six people roll on the ground, or go on a rampage, as if they were blind. No matter what they do, they are always only in that circle.

This feeling was like an invisible barrier that trapped them in a circle from which they could not escape.

Because the sound is not turned on, I can't hear the sound in the video screen, but during the shooting process, Tan Ren will adjust the focus from time to time, so the picture inside will occasionally be pulled very close, and I can even see it. Burnt meat.

In the bungalow, the children in the car climbed out, screaming in horror, and soon attracted some residents around.

That place is outside the customs, and there are very few people living there. In addition, these people usually control the beggars very strictly, so it took five or six minutes for someone to check. In other words, the fire burned for five or six minutes. Within minutes, six living people were writhing and struggling in place.

It's not a movie, it's a real scene, even if it's a movie, it won't burn so long, so, in those 5 minutes, watching them struggle, hit the wall, and finally roll on the ground, and then stay still, that kind of Psychological pressure, people can hardly breathe.

It was the first time I saw the appearance of people being burned alive. To be honest, it was too shocking.

In the last half of the video, the surrounding residents connected the water pipes to put out the fire, and the disabled beggars were surrounded. Some people were asking about their passing, and some people were calling with their mobile phones. It seemed that they were calling the police.And those two little gangsters sat slumped on the ground, unable to see any movement.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and sat on the sofa beside me rubbing my hands. The whole incident looked suspicious.On the surface, it seems that the arson was caused by internal dog-eat-dog conflicts, but when all this is connected with Tan Ren, it seems too unusual.

First of all, those two punks are fine, why did they suddenly set fire?
How could they have the guts to burn six people alive?

Secondly, why did the six people seem to be trapped by something after they caught fire?
Most importantly, how did Tan Ren take this video?
Where did he stay beforehand?

Can he pinch and count?
Or... was he playing tricks on all of this?

What those six people did was indeed devoid of conscience, but even so, there should be laws to punish them, and such a way of death is really chilling.

Maybe it was because my suspicious gaze was too explicit, Tan Ren shook his head and said, "I didn't expect this to happen."

"What do you mean?" I asked casually.

Immediately afterwards, Tan Ren's gaze also moved to the DV, with a trace of solemnity on his face, and he told me the reason, and because of this, I knew the origin of Tan Ren and others.

Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye were born in the west of Hunan, so they can be regarded as brothers.

In western Hunan, there have always been rumors about exorcising corpses. It is said that they use secret techniques to drive corpses, and transport the dead who died in foreign lands back to their hometowns to return to their roots.

In fact, the secret art of exorcism in Xiangxi originally originated from the Taoist art of refining corpses and raising corpses, and later spread to the folks.

In Taoism, mountain, medicine, life, phase, divination, method, art, and exorcising corpses belong to the branch of the word 'shu', while Tan Ren is proficient in divination and deduction.

Exorcising corpses is actually what outsiders call it. It's called "walking corpses" in jargon, and if it's more professional, it's called "refining corpses".

Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren were born in a place called "Three Sons Temple" in western Hunan. The master of the temple is also their master, and he is a master of "corpse refining". However, Tan Ren has no interest in this aspect, so he has never learned corpse refining I only learned the skills of divination and deduction.

Zhou Xuanye, on the other hand, is a serious person who knows how to "walk corpses and refine corpses". The two left their ancestral land in western Hunan and wandered abroad. Using their own skills, they established such a firm. Secret technique, pick up jobs and find people and corpses.

When I met Zhou Xuanye for the first time, it was actually Zhou Xuanye who showed his kindness and offered a favor.

At that time, the person under the wall was indeed dead, and the body was stuck, and people outside could not get it out.Zhou Xuanye has the 'Secret Art of Walking Corpse' and can manipulate corpses, so he bought a five yuan puppet doll and manipulated the corpse to climb out by himself.

At that time, the onlookers thought that the man was not dead, but they didn't know that he was already dead.

And Tan Ren doesn't have the ability in this area, some small magic tricks can be two-handed, but his real unique skill is more divination and fortune-telling, let him look at the horoscope, look at Fengshui is okay, let him be like Zhou Xuanye, It is impossible to let the corpse move.

Yesterday, he reversed Gu Xin's horoscope, and then used the method of asking God for directions to find the location of those two little bastards. 'Invite the soul to scatter'.

This thing can captivate the mind, and when the two punks get behind him, Tan Ren only needs to do some tricks to shake their minds.During the day, Tan Ren made those two paper figurines, which was actually for such a purpose. He slowly baked them with a torch, and the two little bastards immediately became anxious and lost their minds. Irrational move.

Tan Ren's original plan was to use these two gangsters to expose this den.

Just as Gu Xin's mother said, this gang is too powerful, even Tan Ren can't deal with it, so Tan Ren only wants to take one of the dens, take a video by the way, and send it back to Gu Xin's mother. Count your breath.

But he didn't expect that after he pushed it, what the little gangster took out was not a knife, but gasoline!

Tan Ren was also taken aback at the time, but at this time, he would naturally not show up, so he only observed from the top of the building.Looking at it, he also noticed something was wrong. Why did those six people keep spinning around in place?

After finishing speaking, Tan Ren didn't speak, his eyes showed deep thought.

I was already dumbfounded after listening to it, the things that came out of his mouth, it seemed that the world I knew had suddenly changed.

What kind of Taoist spells, what refining corpses, what divination and fortune-telling, how come these weird things come out of his mouth, so it seems so logical?

Do these feudal superstitions really exist?

At this moment, there are two villains fighting in my mind, one is denying, and the other keeps reminding me of the scene of Zhou Xuanye manipulating the corpse, which makes me totally unable to refute.

Maybe, this world is really not as simple as what I see?
