Chapter 71: Chasing corpses across the border
This bright light is caused by a small hob on top, using a small mirror to refract the sunlight in. Sunlight is the biggest killer of ghosts, and this handful of glutinous rice makes all the cat's internal organs rot, making the damn thing burp in an instant.
Dazuirong and I sat on the ground, panting, looking at each other's bruised noses and swollen faces, we couldn't help but smile happily. No smile can be as joyful as the smile of the rest of the life. Looking back, I saw Xiao Ying unconscious at the moment.
On the ground, a face was pale and without any blood. I quickly called to the little hob and took her out first.
The place we emerged from was a house in the west of the village. We walked out with Xiao Xiang in our arms and were immediately bathed in the strong sunlight. It was indescribably warm and comfortable. Compared with the cold and darkness of the underground palace, it felt like we were in a different world.
Everyone’s mobile phones were soaked in water and couldn’t be turned on, and they didn’t know what time it was. But looking at the sun in the south, it should be around 12 noon. Everyone dragged their tired legs, and the small hob and the big mouth carried Xiao.
Ying, I carried Xiaoxiang on my back, walked out of Juehu Village, and returned to the place where I camped last night to rest.
We put Xiao Ying and Xiao Xiang on the grass and checked their breathing and pulse. They were both calm, indicating that their lives were not in danger. They all breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Xiao Hob told us a strange thing. At that time, the cave entrance was closed.
After getting up, he was suddenly attacked from behind. Fortunately, the boy was still on full alert and cleverly leaned forward to avoid the attack. When he looked back, he saw a figure escaping into the long grass in panic.
If he wasn't in a hurry to save us, he would have chased us immediately.
Dazui Rong and I were surprised and confused. Who attacked Little Hob? Among all the living people in Juehu Village, the only ones besides us were Wu Long and Xie Chen. The person who attacked must be one of them!
In the tomb, I felt that something was wrong with Wu Long. Could it really be this kid? He was talking about justice at that time, but it seemed that it was all bullshit. When people are for profit and selfish desires, justice is just a stinking shit. But now.
When I got the definite evidence, I didn't dare to conclude that it was him.
The three of us are basically exhausted now, and we are all tired and sleepy. However, we are afraid that we will be attacked by surprise again when we fall asleep, so we discussed that in order to ensure everyone's safety, only one person will sleep at a time, and two people will be on duty, so as to avoid one person being attacked.
When I'm on duty, I can't help but fall asleep. Then two hours later, another person sleeps.
Dazui Rong's ribs were punctured by the cat's claws. After bandaging the wound, he was the first to lie down on the ground and sleep.
Little Hob and I were leaning against the tree and chatting. The boy started talking about his own ghost escort agency and started talking non-stop. The things he said were quite fresh and made me listen with interest. The beginning of their ghost escort agency
In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it has a history of more than 200 years. The Ghost Escort Bureau is a common name in the world, and its real name is Cehun Escort Bureau, which means to drive away ghosts. The bodyguards are called Soul Escort Bureaus.
This kind of business is similar to exorcism. It specializes in the business of exorcising ghosts after they die in other places, and the ghosts are not allowed to return to their hometowns. Some people may have asked, don't ghosts enter the underworld after death and return home after the first seven days? Why?
Is it necessary to chase away souls?
That refers to most of the ghosts who died normally. Most of them were sent by ghosts to claim their lives and were brought into the underworld. The ghosts who died unexpectedly in other places had to report to the local City God Temple. Most of the ghosts who died unexpectedly were
It is a wandering soul without an owner, or it was broken into pieces after falling off a cliff, or the body sank under the water and was eaten by aquatic creatures. There is a saying "A wandering soul without an owner, there is no way to enter the earth!", which refers to the body that enters the ground.
If one's body is not found at a door in the underworld, the City God will regard the ghost as an ownerless wandering soul and temporarily detain the ghost in the City God's Temple, waiting for its death. The specific time is unknown.
Of course, the City God's Temple is not a big place, so we cannot keep these wild ghosts incarcerated all the time. We can just let them entrust their dreams to their families, and take them home first to wait for notification from the underworld. Therefore, the current business of the Ghost Escort Agency is entrusted by the employer to go to the City God's Temple in other places to capture the ghosts.
This ghost is sent back to his hometown.
Xiao Hudao started working as an escort when he was eighteen years old. He would often meet up with Da Zuirong, who drove corpses in Henan. The two often had quarrels and even got into fights because of fighting for the way. What Xiao Hu Dao said to Da Zuirong last night
The incision "Hewu" means that everyone is a member of the Jianghu community, and that is to act in accordance with the rules of the escort agency. "Liang Qingzi" means that since it is unreasonable, the guy will take action. This is all left over from the ancient escort agencies
Incision, no wonder my buddy didn’t understand what it meant.
Speaking of Dazuirong, he is not from Xiangxi. He is from Sichuan. He learned the art of driving corpses when he was close to the area in Western Hunan. Originally, there were rules for driving corpses in Western Hunan. It was not allowed as far north as Langzhou (Changde).
After crossing Dongting Lake, you can only reach Jingzhou to the east, Fuzhou and Wuzhou to the west, and Yunnan and Guizhou to the southwest. Legend has it that these places are under the jurisdiction of the ghost kingdom of the Miao ancestors. If you go further, you will be out of bounds.
I can't get rid of the corpse.
However, Dazuirong has done his own research and invented some new corpse-driving techniques, which can drive the zombies across the border, but they will only reach Henan at most. If you ask him to drive the corpses to the northeast, he will not even kill them.
Two hours passed quickly as we chatted. Little Hob wouldn't let Dazui Rong sleep for a minute longer. He immediately woke him up and asked me to sleep. When I was woken up, I found that the sun was setting in the west, so I should go to sleep.
One afternoon, I turned around and saw that the person who woke me up was actually Wu Long! I was immediately surprised. Then I looked at Little Hob and Big Mouth Rong. These two guys were lying on the ground sleeping like dead pigs, while Xiao
Both Ying and Xiaoxiang woke up and looked at me with joy on their faces.
Seeing Xiao Xiang wake up, I felt excited and couldn't move my eyes away from her face.
"My cousin didn't steal the things in the Ghost King's tomb, and he wasn't the one who attacked Little Hob. He and Little Hob just made it clear about this." Xiao Ying didn't wait for me to speak, and first defended me.
Explanation. Her face is rosy now and she looks much better.
I was stunned and said: "If it's not him, is it Xie Chen?"
Wu Long has now removed his makeup and returned to his original handsome face. He said with a solemn expression: "Yes, it was really Xie Chen who did it!"
"Where are the others?" I looked back at Wu Long and asked.
"I have already taken the treasure from the Ghost King's tomb and escaped." Wu Long said angrily.
Xiao Ying sighed, lowered his head and said, "My dad was wrong and thought he was a capable person. Who knew he turned out to be a wolf-hearted bastard!"
This is their family's business and has nothing to do with my brothers. What I care about now is Xiaoxiang. I turn my eyes back to her face. I haven't seen her for more than half a year, but now I feel a little strange and I don't know what to say.
Xiaoxiang smiled at me and said first: "Thank you for saving me again!"
