Urban Pirates

Chapter 162
Liao Zhengxuan froze for a moment: "Why do you want to know this all of a sudden?"

Ning Ningyu smiled: "Actually, I didn't know about this, but Jinxuan took a photo. When we were chatting and looking at the photo just now, we saw the 'Yin Stack' from above. Tianluo followed We talked about it for a while, but I think you have lived here for a long time, so you must know a lot. Tian Luo said a little bit in a random manner, which completely aroused my curiosity. "

Liao Zhengxuan also laughed: "I didn't expect that you, a woman, would be interested in such horrific things." Then he went on to say: "Actually, I don't know much about that thing. The general situation is now It can be found on the Internet, but as for the inn next to the village, I have something to tell you."

Ning Ningyu said happily: "That's really great!"

At this time, Zhao Yong also came out of the house, holding another watermelon from the backyard in his hand, he said to Liao Zhengxuan: "Your watermelon is so delicious, don't you mind? Haha."

Liao Zhengxuan quickly said: "How could it be! That thing is grown to be eaten, and it tastes good if everyone eats it together. I'm just thirsty, so I need to trouble you to cut it up."

"Okay! No problem!" Zhao Yong patted the watermelon a few times, turned and walked into the kitchen.

Liao Zhengxuan looked at the expectant eyes of the three people in front of him, so he slowly said: "I have heard about exorcising corpses before I came here, but I think that with the rapid development of society now, the exorcism of exorcising corpses is very difficult. There should be fewer and fewer activities, and I also heard people say that even if you want to search for it, you may not be able to find it. People are curious, so I was also curious at that time. The more difficult it is to see, the more interested I am, but after arriving here, to be honest, I am a little disappointed, because judging by the situation here, there should be no need to drive corpses."

After a short pause, he continued: "But what I didn't expect is that I have seen... many times in the more than a year since I came here."

Zhao Yong had already brought the watermelon over, and happened to hear what Liao Zhengxuan said. After distributing a piece of watermelon without saying a word, he sat next to Liao Zhengxuan with a stool, hoping to hear him continue.

Liao Zhengxuan said thank you, took a big bite of watermelon to moisten his throat, and then started talking again.

"The first time was the third day I just came here. Because I needed to discuss some matters with the village head and several village representatives, I was busy until late every day. It was about midnight that night. Two villagers dropped by with me, so we went home together, and I will never forget the scene of that night."

That night, Liao Zhengxuan and two villagers rushed back with flashlights. There were no street lights in the mountain village, and the villagers usually went to bed very early, so at twelve o'clock, everything was pitch black. Liao Zhengxuan, who came to the mountain village once, felt that it was really scary. If he was not accompanied by the villagers, he probably wouldn't dare to walk alone at night.

At that time, autumn had just entered, and the summer nights in this village were very cool. In autumn, it was even bitingly cold in the middle of the night. It seemed so faint in the black world, and the oppressive feeling made Liao Zhengxuan a little breathless, and he always felt that there was something terrible in the grass by the roadside.

"Zhengxuan, you grew up in the city, haven't you ever walked this kind of night road?" A villager saw his nervousness, so he spoke.

Liao Zhengxuan smiled embarrassedly, the villagers tried their best to speak in Mandarin, because they all knew that Liao Zhengxuan could not understand the dialect here, but their Mandarin was really not flattering, and Liao Zhengxuan had to work hard to know the general mean.

Another villager went on to say: "I heard that your city is still bright at night, and you don't need to use a flashlight when you go out. Can you get used to it when you get here?"

Liao Zhengxuan sneezed: "Yes, yes, no problem."

In fact, this road passes through the village, and there are basically villagers’ houses on both sides. Although they are not close to each other like residential areas in the city, the distance between each house is not special. Far, almost two or three together, and then there will be a few houses every hundred or so meters away.

The sound of running water came from the small river by the roadside, and insects could be heard from time to time in the grass. These sounds made people feel that the surrounding area was quieter. Suddenly, Liao Zhengxuan heard a sound similar to the beating of a gong. At first he thought it was an auditory hallucination, but the sound was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be mixed with the sound of bells. It was quite frightening to hear such a sound while walking in the mountain village in the middle of the night. Liao Zhengxuan suddenly I feel the soles of my feet are getting cold.

But he saw that the two villagers around him seemed to be fine, he thought, could it be that he really has a problem with his ears?When the voice became clearer and clearer, he hesitated for a long time before finally asking.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Zhuang, did you hear any... sound? It's creepy..."

The two villagers laughed, which directly confused the second monk Liao Zhengxuan. One of them said to him very calmly: "Don't be afraid of this voice, it's just that the walking master passed by the side of the village."

"Master walking foot?" Liao Zhengxuan was very puzzled, he didn't know what it was at all, and he was still wondering if it was some kind of occupation in the mountain village?But this profession is a bit too scary. Out of curiosity, he still asked what a walking master is.

In fact, walking masters are just morticians, just because they are taboo about the term driving corpses, so others will call them walking masters, and when someone asks them to drive corpses, they will only say "Master, please go for a walk" or "Walk for a while." Back to the foot", so the name "walking foot master" came from this.

The two villagers explained it to Liao Zhengxuan. In such an environment, telling people about expelling corpses would scare people to death. Fortunately, the mandarin of the two villagers was very common. Even so, it made him tremble all over.

But his curiosity started to wreak havoc again. Hearing the sound getting closer, he asked the two villagers if the walker would also come from this road. Why did it sound like he was behind his own ass? , It's scary.

The villagers also said that the corpses are generally not allowed to enter the village, and the people in the village will not let them. Next to the road outside, there is also a corpse inn, which is actually an empty house, with no waiters, let alone a boss, it just provides a temporary resting place for the passing walkers and those corpses.

Generally, walking masters don’t rest here, because it’s midnight, which is a good time to go on the road, and you can reach the next dead body inn before dawn, so the dead body inn in Guxi Village can be regarded as a little rest at most. A resting place, unless there are special circumstances, that will stay there.

As he was walking, Liao Zhengxuan heard the sound of the shaking of the bell and the knocking of the small Yin gong coming from his right side. At first he was a little flustered. He was obviously walking very fast, so why was he being chased away by the corpse? I caught up with him, so could it be that the corpse walked faster? Just calm down and think about it, and he immediately understood that the road in the village he was walking on was winding, with several big loops, and the road outside was basically Straight, so slowly, the walking master caught up.

Liao Zhengxuan casually looked in the direction of the sound. Through several houses and messy bushes, he actually saw it, but it was only for a short moment. What he saw was a mage wearing a Taoist robe. He held a white lantern in his hand, shook the bell with the other hand, and took out paper money to sprinkle a few times from time to time. The light of the lantern was not bright, but in such an environment where he couldn't see his fingers, it was extremely white and dazzling.

Liao Zhengxuan couldn't see clearly what was going on behind the team, he could barely see the appearance of the first dead body by relying on the light of the lantern in the hands of the Taoist priest in front.

The dead body was dressed no differently from ordinary people, except that it was wearing a bamboo hat, and the bamboo hat was tilted forward, completely covering the face of the dead body. The vague outlines suggest that all the corpses should be dressed in the same way.

What Liao Zhengxuan almost exclaimed was that as the Taoist walked forward, the dead bodies behind him were lined up behind him, with their hands stretched forward, dancing with the Taoist's footsteps, very much like those zombies in the movie The movements are just not so exaggerated.

He suddenly had an idea to see what the corpse behind the bamboo hat looked like. At that moment, the corpse he was staring at suddenly moved, and the bamboo hat fell off inexplicably. Then only saw a face with an extremely pale face, with blood dripping from the corners of its eyes slowly turning around, staring straight at Liao Zhengxuan with dark eye sockets, and then there was a creepy laugh.

At this point, Liao Zhengxuan stopped and started to eat watermelon. He said that his mouth was thirsty and he had to slow down. This made Wu Jinxuan a little impatient, and asked him hard: "What happened next?"

Liao Zhengxuan chuckled: "Afterwards I screamed... I woke up."

"Ah? What? Then...that was all your dreaming?" Wu Jinxuan seemed very dissatisfied with the result.

But Liao Zhengxuan shook his head: "I said later that the face I saw was a dream, because at that time I was too nervous, and after looking at the corpse chaser and the dead corpse... fainted, two villagers took me I was carried and sent to one of them’s home, where I was allowed to sleep, and then I developed a fever for several days, and the villagers said that I was frightened and lost my soul.”

"It's so scary..." Wu Jinxuan showed a look of fear in his eyes.
