This is an unwritten rule in this line of work, and it would be frightening to walk around with a pair of corpses in broad daylight.

  Second, it is taboo to avoid animals such as cats and dogs colliding with corpses. If the corpse is incomplete, there is no way to explain it to the employer.

  The third most important corpse-hunting inn is the one you see in front of you.

  It is impossible to build other inns in this corner, and the white lanterns hanging show the identity of the inn, so I will take you down the mountain road.

  The corpse inn, as the name suggests, only has corpses and corpses to stay, and the living cannot live. "

  "what?"

  Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at the inn in front of them. They never thought that this inn was actually prepared for the dead.

  Zhao Yi nodded and said slowly:

  "There will always be more or less corpse inns on the route that the corpse hunter travels. Due to the high income, although these inns seem to be deserted, they are still operating well.

  But that was before. You should be able to see the attitude of the old man just now. He hasn't driven a corpse maker here since he was young.

  At that time, corpses were popular, and corpses arrived at the inn before dawn, and left quietly at night. The corpses were standing on a neat wall behind the door panel. When it was raining, it was difficult to walk, so they stopped in the store for a few minutes. days and nights.

  The employer will pay half of the money to the corpse driver in advance, and when the corpse is handed over at the destination, the remaining money will be made up, and the trip will be considered complete. "

  Zhao Yi's explanation finally made some people understand, but Wang Yier couldn't help but speak soon:

  "But why chase the corpse? Wouldn't it be convenient to transport it directly by land?"

  Zhao Yi shrugged, pointed to Pinnacle Mountain behind him, and said:

  "The appearance of the corpse is also due to geographical problems.

  The area in western Hunan is different from Yima Pingchuan in the north, and it is more hilly.

  There is one mountain for five miles and one hill for ten miles. In addition, it is located in the upper reaches of the Yuanjiang River, with many dangerous places and concentrated water flow. It is difficult for vehicles and horses to pass through such mountain areas.

  In the early years, the roads were not as developed as they are now, and the corpses could only be transported out by people carrying the corpses over the mountains and mountains, so there was a special occupation of corpse hunters. "

  Zhao Yi's erudition and knowledge once again impressed everyone.

  Wang Ye looked at the house in front of him in astonishment:

  "So the ancestral hall in this mountain village was actually a corpse-hunting inn?"

  Zhao Yi nodded and shook his head:

  "The door opens to the west, and there are stone lions facing inward on both sides. It can be seen that this place should have been a corpse-hunting inn a long time ago, but now that the profession of corpse-driving has disappeared, it has been changed to Yizhuang."

  As soon as Zhao Yi finished speaking, several people heard the sound coming from the inn. The old man walked out and said:

  "Yes, yes, what this walking master said is that dusty history.

  The old man didn't expect that today I finally got to wait until the foot-walking master!

  My ancestors have opened a corpse-hunting inn here for many generations, but unfortunately, the corpse-hunting business is lonely. In my father's generation, I have never seen a walking master again.

  Later, although the place was changed to Yizhuang, Zu Xun did not dare to disobey, and he would open the door to welcome guests when he heard the bell.

  The old man thought he heard it wrong, but he didn't expect that the master of walking was actually here.

  My righteous village has long been deserted, and it is estimated that there will be no more in my generation, but the generations of my ancestors were the shopkeepers of the corpse inn.

  In my lifetime, I can welcome another walking master here, and I can live up to my ancestors and go to Huangquan to see them.

  The old man was quite emotional, and when he came to the door, he couldn't help but tremble a little:

  "The corpse is settled, avoid the fire candle..."

  The old man shouted in a yin and yang tone, and the sound seemed to spread several meters away.

  Hearing this, Zhao Yi shook the purple bell in his hand and came to the front of the inn.

  The old man saw it in his eyes, but once again decided in his heart that this must be an extremely professional walking master.

  He is very clear about the rules and rituals of walking corpses entering the inn. .

  Chapter [-]: Ninth Uncle?

  Then the old man entered the room again, and after a while, he came out tremblingly.

  Then I saw a few things in the old man's hand.

  A table made of black walnut.

  On the table is an incense burner and several plates with a variety of pastries and fruits.

  The innkeeper's hunched body was carrying these things with some difficulty, and he was walking towards the door step by step.

  Seeing this, Wang Ye wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by Zhao Yi sternly:

  "This is the rule for walking corpses to enter the store, don't interfere!"

  Hearing this, Wang Ye could only retreat behind Zhao Yi again, and looked here curiously.

  When they saw these things in the hands of the old man, several people felt a little puzzled.

  How did you get these things out?

  What is this for?Offering or offering sacrifices?

  The old man saw that Zhao Yi was so clear, and he had already decided in his heart that this must be a corpse carpenter.

  It's just that Zhao Yi's appearance is so dignified and dignified, he still wants to observe it again and confirm it carefully.

  After all, it's a corpse hunter

  It hasn't appeared in a long time.

  Even as the owner of the corpse-hunting inn, he only learned about it from his parents, and had never seen this legendary ancient occupation with his own eyes.

  At this time, he looked at Zhao Yi's performance, and he no longer doubted Zhao Yi's identity as such.

  "Master walker, please wait a moment."

  The old man in the inn bowed to Zhao Yi, and his hunched body was about to hit the table.

  Zhao Yi naturally wouldn't blame him, nodded and said lightly:

  "It's okay, please do it yourself."

  "Thank you, Master Walker."

  The old man in the inn didn't straighten up, just raised his head slightly and stared at the objects on the table.

  suddenly!

  He stretched out his hands suddenly, and began to change the position of the things on the table back and forth.

  The swiftness and swiftness of his movements are not at all what he should have at his age.

  At the same time, his mouth was not idle, and he muttered softly;

  "Ghosts and ghosts, get rid of evil and avoid harm, stay in the south on the left, seek seven stars on the right..."

14 Wang Ye and several others opened their eyes in confusion.

  What is this doing?

  What strange mysterious ritual?

  It sounds like it's an exorcism spell...

  Several people you look at me, I look at you.

  No one understood what the old man was doing.

  However, after the old man walked around the table a few times, he came to the table without any hesitation, and directly picked up the porcelain white wine pot on the table.

  Under the surprised and puzzled eyes of everyone, the old man spilled the wine from the jug on the ground.

  only……

  When the wine was poured, it didn't fall straight down, but kept shaking in his hand, as if he was drawing something with the wine spilled on the ground.

  Just as a few people were discussing, the old man's hands finally stopped. He held the bottom of the porcelain white wine pot in one hand and placed it respectfully on the table, while walking towards the place where the incense burner was placed three times. .

  Immediately afterwards, the old man slowly came to Zhao Yi and moved the table to one side, which was regarded as opening the door and welcoming him in.

  Zhao Yi didn't speak, nodded lightly at the old man, and turned around to control the corpse.

  Several people who had been waiting for the opportunity suddenly gathered around, and Ma Baoer asked curiously:

  "Director, what was the old man doing just now? That liquor is pretty good. Why do you spill it when you say it is spilled?"

  Zhao Yi heard the words and said softly:

  "This is called burying a corpse by drinking wine in the industry of corpse hunters in western Hunan."

  "Sprinkling wine to cover a corpse?"

  "What do you mean?"

  Some people heard what Zhao Yi said, although they probably knew what each word Zhao Yi said meant, but they really couldn't figure it out together.

  "This wine is not meant to be drunk, but to sprinkle."

  The old man seemed to have heard everyone's discussion, and immediately looked towards this side, giving everyone a calm look.

  Seeing that everyone was quiet again, he continued to follow Zhao Yi's words and said:

  "There are lonely and wild ghosts in the world, and this wine is to prevent this corpse from being discovered by these ghosts wandering in the world."

  As the old man spoke, he moved the table to the house, and his voice gradually became smaller and smaller.

  But these remarks really aroused the curiosity of several other people. They immediately looked at Zhao Yi as if asking for help, hoping that he could answer.

  Seeing this, Zhao Yi did not have any cover, and said slowly:

  "This corpse is buried deep above the underground corpse all the year round, and it is naturally full of earthy and rotten corpses.

  In addition, Mao Jiang gave birth to the undead, and the body must be filled with extremely majestic death and yin.

  If there is no cover for this wine smell, the ghosts wandering around can smell the breath of the corpse and attract them along the smell.
