Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 58
Saying goodbye to Zha Wu, Feng Shen whipped his horse and chased along the road ahead.

But at this time, Lu Bantou was driving on another road with a group of horses.Everyone didn't urge the horses, and they all rode at a leisurely pace.

"His grandma's!" Suddenly, Lu Ban shrank his head and let out a breath of white air, "This damn weather... is really fucking cold!"

"Yeah," said a horse, rubbing his hands quickly, "it feels like the leaves of the lungs are frozen... Boss, why don't we get off the horse first and find some firewood to roast?"

"Okay!" Lu Bantou agreed without saying a word, "Get off your horse and rest for a while!"

When all the horses heard this, they all got off their horses.Before Lu Bantou gave orders, they each went to the side of the road to pick up some dead branches and shrubs, and started a fire.

As soon as the fire was lit, everyone hurriedly gathered around it.

"It's a bloody hell!" Lu Ban stomped his head and put his hand on the fire to warm it, "It is said that in this cold weather, you should eat a bowl of roast meat and drink a pot of hot wine. Lie comfortably on the Kang head!"

"Boss," a horse quickly licked his tongue, and said with a bitter face, "don't mention it... since noon, the brothers have eaten a few mouthfuls of cold steamed buns... the stomach is cold and Hungry……"

"That's right," another Ma Kuai complained, "Anyway, there's nothing to chase...or we can warm up here for a while, and just turn back!"

A young Ma Kuai hesitated, and whispered: "Is this inappropriate?"

"That's right," another Ma Kuai posted next to him, "Even if we have to leave... we should wait for Feng to go back with them, right? Or it's hard to explain..."

Lu Ban raised his head and glanced at the two Ma Kuai who had spoken just now, and suddenly shouted: "Zhang Huai, Li Zhuang!"

"Yes..." The two horses who had been bitten were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help but straighten their waists.

Lu Ban snorted coldly, and said again: "You two are idle if you are idle, why don't you go and be a scout!"

"Exploring the horse?" The two looked at each other, puzzled, "Boss... what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Bantou sneered, "You two are strong guys, so you are not afraid of the cold. Why don't you two go to the front to see if there is any difference while we are warming up, and then talk back. After going back like this , I have an explanation for your Feng Da experience!"

When Zhang Huai and Li Zhuang heard this, they knew that Lu Ban had taken the blame, and hurriedly explained: "Boss, we..."

"Okay! No need to say more!" Lu Ban blocked his head, "Go ahead!"

"Humble post takes orders..."

The two had no choice but to bow their waists and hold their fists together, reluctantly pulled their horses and rode on, and continued to move forward.

"Boss, you have great hands." After the two of them rode away, a horse quickly flattered, "Zhang Huai and Li Zhuang, these two brats, should grind their horns and suffer..."

"Hmph." Lu Ban gritted his molars and looked at it for a while, then stopped talking.

In addition, when Zhang Huai and Li Zhuang got on the horse, they galloped furiously. After running for several miles in one breath, they slowed down.

"Li Zhuang," Zhang Huai said angrily while sitting on the horse, "Why do you think the boss is doing this? It's obviously making things difficult for us brothers!"

"Ah... that's right," Li Zhuang sighed, "As long as it's about Feng's experience, he's like taking gunpowder..."

"The experience of Feng is young and promising, so I am pleasing to the eye!" Zhang Huai said angrily, "He is polite to everyone, how is it like our boss? I wonder why our boss has to deal with Feng experience. ?”

"Who knows?" Li Zhuang shook his head and said, "Maybe there is a festival... Hey, don't talk about these useless things, let's go forward."

"What are you looking for?" Zhang Huai said bitterly, "The boss is trying to punish us! Even he himself said that there is no..."

"Whisper!" Before Zhang Huai could finish speaking, Li Zhuang interrupted him.

"What?" Seeing Li Zhuang staring straight ahead, Zhang Huai also became vigilant, "What happened?"

"Look there!" Li Zhuang raised his hand and pointed.

Hearing this, Zhang Huai hurriedly looked along.

On the road ahead, there was a row of people walking vaguely!Those people lined up in a straight line, walking very strangely.Looking from the back, the person at the end walked quite normally, but the people in front stretched out their arms, one on top of the other, bouncing around stiffly!
"Hurry up the corpse?!"

Zhang Huai and Li Zhuang looked at each other, dumbfounded.

The side of the road is all black, but the road surface is pale by the moonlight.The team seemed to have heard the sound of horseshoes behind them, but they didn't intend to stop at all.The person walking last shook his arm, and a bell rang.The ringing of the bell continued intermittently, jerky and dull, mixed with the whistling night wind, at first hearing, it sounded like the cry of a wicked ghost.

Zhang and Li's scalps were numb, they reined in their horses but dared not go forward.After being stunned for a while, Zhang Huai finally came to his senses. Seeing that Li Zhuang was still shivering immediately, he said in a low voice, "This corpse chaser...why is he on this road?"

"That's right..." Li Zhuang was still in shock, trembling, "What should we do now?"

"What else can I do?" Zhang Huai said, "Since we bumped into each other, it must be unreasonable not to search for it..."

"Search?" Li Zhuang said with a bitter face, "You are too bold, aren't you? This... just in case you get tainted..."

"Don't frighten yourself!" Although Zhang Huai was terrified, he could only pretend to be cruel, "I don't believe that just a glance can cause disaster! Alright, Li Zhuang, let's stop that group first, Check his mother!"

After all, Zhang Huai didn't care about Li Zhuang, drew his knife in his hand, rode his horse and shouted: "Those who go forward, stop!"

Hearing Zhang Huai's shout, the team in front really stopped.Seeing Zhang Huai rushing over, Li Zhuang could only bite the bullet and follow behind.

Although the team stopped, they still stood in line, like a long snake, without any gaps.Seeing that the two horses were about to gallop to the front, the person in the last row suddenly shouted loudly: "The official, stop the horse quickly! Don't surprise the God of joy!"

Zhang Li and Zhang Li were already afraid, but after hearing this, they hurriedly took the reins.

"Who are you?" Zhang Huai immediately asked again.

"I'm the soul-moving person, and the one in front is my master," the man behind stood still and turned his back to Zhang Li and replied, "We're all Xiangxi bosses, and we're here to welcome the God of Joy back home."

"God of Joy?" After pondering for a while, Zhang Huai knew that the "God of Joy" he was talking about was referring to those corpses, "Since both of you are alive, why don't you turn your head and speak closer?"

"Officer," a hoarse voice came from the front, "when we walk, we must use the spell-expelling talisman to connect the nerve network of joy, so that we can drive away... If it is broken, the spirit of joy will turn into a vicious corpse, Cheating and rushing... In order to make this trip safe, I dare not leave the side of the God of Joy. If I am not polite, I ask the official to forgive me..."

Zhang Huai's heart sank: "So, how many of you... are dead?"

"That's right," said the person in front again, "The God of Joy is too close to get angry... It's better for the two officials to avoid it... so as not to be caught by the shadows and kill the soul..."

Before Zhang Huai could speak, Li Zhuang said in a low voice: "This corpse-hunting is very evil...I see you are a little bit afraid...how about we..."

"No," Zhang Huai was still hesitant at first, but after hearing Li Zhuang's words, he couldn't help being angry, "It's fine if we don't see each other. Since we met, we must check it out! Li Zhuang, if you are afraid, just be honest." Stay here and wait for me to examine it by myself!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Huai got off his horse and came straight to the team.He first sized up the two people at the head and the tail, and seeing that there was nothing unusual about them, he then fixed his eyes on those "Gods of Joy".

Those "Gods of Joy" were all wearing long gowns with wide sleeves, tied with grass ropes, and shouldered each other, standing there like dead branches and trees, extremely stiff.And each "God of Joy" wears a high-brimmed felt hat on top of his head, and a yellow talisman written in cinnabar is pasted on his forehead, covering most of his face.Through the exposed places, one can see that the corners of the cheeks, the neck, etc. are all dead white, without a trace of blood, and it is undoubtedly a dead person.Illuminated by the torch, it appears to be hampered and ghostly.

Zhang Huai felt uneasy, like beating a small drum.I intend to check those yellow talismans, but I am afraid that I will provoke evil spirits and get dirty.For a while, I couldn't help hesitating and being indecisive.

"Officer," the man behind said, seeing this, "If you are fine, I will continue to drive away the 'God of Joy'. It is not a good idea to stay here forever..."

"Not busy," Zhang Huai thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "It's reasonable to call you. Now there is an important case being investigated in the yamen. If you want to avoid suspicion, you can wait at ease and let us investigate easily. One time. If there is no abnormality, it will be released!"

"But didn't you check it just now?" The person in the back looked scorched.

"Both of us are in charge, we should wait for our team leader to come over to make a decision!" Zhang Huai said to Li Zhuang, "I'll stay here for now, and you can drive back and call the leader and the brothers. !"

Li Zhuang was terrified and wished he could leave early.Hearing Zhang Huai's words, he quickly agreed.He turned the horse's head and ran back.While Zhang Huai ordered the second division to stand by, he walked a few steps back, a few feet away from the team of "Happy Gods", leaning on the horse with a knife, carefully guarding.

After about an incense stick of time, Li Zhuang rushed to Lu Ban's head.Lu Bantou was chatting with everyone around the fire, when he saw Li Zhuang rushing in with sweat all of a sudden, he couldn't help being shocked.

"What's the matter?" Li Zhuang just rolled off his horse when Lu Ban grabbed him first, "Why are you alone? Where is Zhang Huai?"

"Boss..." Li Zhuang panted heavily, with some ambiguity in his mouth, "Hustle corpses...we have met corpse chasers!"

"What?" Lu Ban's head changed drastically, "Say it again!"

"The corpse chaser..." Li Zhuang pointed back, "It's just ahead, Zhang Huai is watching, and I'm coming back to tell you to go over..."

"Fart!" Lu Ban frowned, his eyes widened, "Then why did the corpse driver appear on the road ahead? It's clear that you and Zhang Huai lied, trying to deceive me!"
