Sword Emperor in the city

Chapter 78 Chasing corpses

Shaking his head, he handed the stone cake to Hu San, and said with a smile, "I hope we will meet next time, we are in the same world."

Hu San nodded heavily, and walked into the palace with the stone cake.

Liu Feifan frowned, and there was a trace of uneasiness between his brows. He always felt that something would happen from the stone cake, but it was just a feeling.

Although the stone cake is very mysterious, he can't take away the family's heirloom, he can only treat it as a predestined relationship.

Liu Feifei rushed back to Guanghai City overnight. When he was going back, he was in a small village in a county town of Xiang City, in a land of mountains and fields.

The bright moon hangs high, and on the country road, the piercing sound of bells rings from time to time. It is loud and scary in the silent and dark mountains.

In the darkness, the owner of the house built by the mountains in the distance hastily turned off the lights when he heard the bells in the night, and the dogs barked and the cats barked.

The ear-piercing bell rang from time to time, and soon after the bell fell, an old voice rang out.

"Take root on the ground, stay away from strangers, open the way with the bull's head, and guard the team with the horse's face.

The heavens are spirited, the earth is spirited, let me borrow the way to pass, and the great fairy and demon please make way. "

The old voice is very hoarse, not very loud, but driven by the sound of the bell, it can be heard thousands of meters away, especially in such a rural road, under the silent night, it is even more deafening.

Where Xunyin went, his eyes narrowed, and he saw a rickety oil lamp in a mountain path. Under the light of the light, he could see four or five figures on the path.

The leader was an old man, very thin, yellow and thin, wearing a yellow Taoist robe and a Taoist hat, holding a bell in one hand, and reaching into the Taoist bag hanging by his waist with the other, and took out a large stack of talisman papers and scattered them Facing the sky, muttering words in his mouth.

Behind the old man in Daoyi, a young man in his early twenties is carrying a bamboo basket on his back. A small square platform is built on the bamboo basket. Next, in front of the young man, hung an oil lamp.

The oil lamp was not covered at all, swaying under the breeze and the young man's walking, it seemed to be extinguished at any time, but it was difficult to extinguish.

The young man's face was very scary, with eyes as small as a knife, one side of the face was big and the other was small, there was no nose and ears, and his face was covered with small wounds.

If the young man appeared in the market during the day, he would definitely scare the children to tears, and if they saw him at night, others would definitely regard him as a monster.

There are three people behind the young man. The movements of the three are very stiff, as rigid as a robot, and every step they take seems to be exhausted.

The three wore a bamboo hat on their heads and straw-wrapped clothes on their bodies, which completely covered their whole bodies.

Surprisingly, a scent wafted from the three of them, as if they had been bathed with nectar.

If someone saw these five people, their face would definitely change drastically, and they would stamp their feet and spit.

Because, this is the legendary exorcist!
The bony old man and the frightening young man were alive, but the three behind them in bamboo hats and straw clothes were dead.

Chasing corpses is an ancient profession, and corpse chasing is a kind of weird person who walks at night and stops day and night.

People who can become corpse chasers, without exception, are born with evil spirits, weird faces, and peculiar temperaments. This kind of person is not afraid of ghosts by nature, and the weirder the face, the better the candidate for corpse chasers.

Because only those born with different phases can restrain demons and ghosts.

Chasing corpses is a frightening thing, under the sound of bells, there is silence for a thousand meters, and everything is driven away.

Although this is a chilling thing, the world really wants to know how the dead body moves.

In this day and age, corpses are generally cremated, but in some remote mountain villages, the world still observes the ancient ritual of burial.

These ceremonies are now prohibited by the country, but there are still people secretly carrying corpses.

Especially some old people with high prestige in big families, once they pass away, the living members don't want to see the person they respect in their hearts turn into a box of ashes, especially the wish of these old people is to return to their roots and return to their hometown.

If you want to transport the corpse of the old man back to your hometown, you can't do it blatantly. Therefore, expelling the corpse has become the first choice of these family members.

One is that the exorcists took night roads and country roads, avoiding crowded cities.

The second is that the corpse chaser can let the corpse walk back by itself. For those relatives who are alive, this is like seeing their relatives come back alive.

Of course, there are very few corpse hunters in this era, and they have almost been lost. It is very difficult to pass them on, because this profession is really too appalling.

The people who become corpse chasers are usually orphans, because they are born with a bad face and do not please others, they are often lonely people.

Huang Deshui was born without a nose and ears, with a big face and a small face, and small eyes. He was abandoned in the orphanage after birth. Maybe it was because he was inferior. He also had no friends in the orphanage. He spent a long time thinking alone, which made him His character became more withdrawn and distorted.

He hates this world, he hates his parents, he hates everyone, he feels that he is out of tune with this world, and he feels that everyone is mocking and laughing at him.

Until he was 17 years old, the master came to the orphanage and took him away.

Although his master is also a person with a very different personality, he still treats him well. Under the care of his master, a little warmth appeared in his heart, and he naturally became a corpse chaser.

But he is still full of hatred for this world and everyone.

Huang Deshui followed behind his master, turning his head to look at the three moving corpses behind him from time to time, a haze flashed in his small eyes.

For all this, he has long been used to it, and he is not afraid, but he still feels unconvinced in his heart.

Why is it that others can walk in the sunshine openly, but I have to walk these country roads? Why are others able to make friends, but I am ridiculed by others? I can't even afford clothes.

But every time they drove a corpse, they were paid 10 yuan.

Having said that, they have to donate 90.00% of their compensation each time.

10 yuan, only 1000 yuan in hand.

Except for the food and drink necessary for life, and the necessary preparations for exorcising the dead, the rest, I really can't even afford a piece of clothing.

Huang Deshui asked Master why.

The master said that this is to survive, to accumulate yin virtue for themselves, they chased the corpses, they went against the sky, and if they didn't end well, they would usually die by accident.

The purpose of accumulating yin virtue is to have a good end when one dies in the future.

Master's master just didn't follow these ancestral precepts. Every time he got rewarded, he was eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. In the end, he ended up miserable and died an untimely death.

Huang Deshui also asked, if this is the case, why did he chase the corpse.

Master said that they were all abandoned by heaven, and they also wanted to survive.

Huang Deshui naturally didn't believe this.

Because he is full of resentment towards everything in this world, every time he drives a corpse...
