The old man's face became solemn for a while. He pinched his fingers and took a serious look at the moonlight outside. He solemnly said: "Oh no, today is the fifteenth day. When the moon is full, the Yin Qi is at its strongest. These corpses may have felt it.
The yin energy coming out of the soles of my feet is why I look so excited."
"Corpses also have feelings?" Chen Xiao asked in shock. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would probably not believe that these dead people could still beat, and they could beat excitedly when the yin energy was strong. This made Chen Xiao
Somewhat astonished, Chen Xiao looked at the old man in confusion and asked, "Old man, why is this happening?"
"I forgot to tell you that our walkers also have a special ability, which is to resurrect the soul!" The old man said with a smile: "The higher the walker's ability to resurrect the soul, the stronger you will be.
The more souls you get, then he will not only be a beating corpse, but he can even protect you!"
"It's really unheard of!" Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
"There are too few people in this industry!" The old man sighed and said helplessly: "I am now sixty, but I haven't found a successor yet. Today's society advocates anti-feudalism and anti-superstition. Let's go
Those with feet can only walk within Hunan."
"How about you accept me as your apprentice?" Chen Xiao said with a smile: "You can't find the right person anyway. If you can accept me as your apprentice, maybe this skill of yours can be passed on.
ah!"
The old man thought for a while and said, "Then do you have any written records from your parents?"
"Stop talking, my parents are no longer in this world!" Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly.
"That won't work. This is the rule of our profession. Moreover, there is an unwritten rule that does not apply to you!" The old man stood up, took out a few more runes and pasted them on the corpses.
On the back of the head, the screaming corpses quickly became quiet, with pale faces hanging down, motionless. Chen Xiao asked curiously: "What rules don't apply to me?"
"Those who join our profession must be ugly!" The old man smiled faintly and said, "I think you have a decent face, and you are quite similar. So, you are not suitable!"
"It's so profound, isn't it because I'm too handsome!" Chen Xiao grinned and said: "Really, is it wrong for me to be too handsome? Old man, what age are we in, you can't be more open, you have to be conservative
Are you following those dead rules? Besides, people are alive and rules are dead."
The old man still refused to let go, and Chen Xiao kept persuading him. However, when Chen Xiao mentioned using two bottles of fine Maotai liquor as a apprenticeship ceremony, the old man’s eyes lit up. As a footman, his income is not high.
I'm afraid they can only watch something as valuable as Moutai from a distance. This time, a rich apprentice like Chen Xiao was on the list, and the old man immediately agreed.
"To get started, you must first pay homage to the master, come!" The old man stood up, smoked three cigarettes from his pocket, lit them, handed them to Chen Xiao, and said: "First, pay homage to the master."
"Old man, do you know who the founder is?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.
"Ghost King Zhong Xu!" The old man glared at Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao suddenly realized, no wonder you are looking for someone ugly, because you are afraid that if you are too handsome, Grandmaster Zhong Xu will not bless you. Chen Xiao hurriedly bowed three times, which was regarded as the official entry.
The first lesson the old man taught him was the standing skill. The so-called standing skill is the ability to make a corpse walk. All apprentices of the walking man must learn thirty-six skills.
"Old man, you said that there are thirty-six skills. In fact, when combined, they are just one, and that is making talismans!" Chen Xiao said: "After the talisman is made, you just need to use your mind to drive them to walk, and let them follow you.
Walk."
"That's right, your understanding is much higher than mine back then!" The old man showed a pleased smile.
"Then...are there any taboos for us walkers?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.
"Yes!" The old man nodded solemnly, looked at Chen Xiao, and said: "We footmen have the 'three rushes' and the 'three no rushes'!"
"How do you say that?" Chen Xiao became interested. He seemed to be full of strong interest in these unorthodox things.
"The so-called three drives are those who were beheaded, hanged, and died standing up! Because they were all forced to die, and they died unconvinced. They missed their hometown and their relatives. You can use magic to bring back their souls.
, using talismans to suppress their corpses, and then using magic to drive them to climb mountains and ridges,
He even got on a boat and crossed the water to return to his hometown." After the old man said this, he turned around and looked at the corpses behind him and said: "Two people here were executed by firing squad. The family brought the corpses back through connections and asked me to take them back.
. There was also a person who accidentally fell from the scaffolding and died."
"What about Sanbuqiu?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.
"Those who died of illness, those who voluntarily died by hanging themselves in rivers, and those whose limbs were damaged by thunder and fire cannot be driven away. Among them, the souls of those who died of illness have been taken away by the King of Hell, and we cannot call their souls back from the gate of hell.
The souls of those who drowned themselves in the river were "replaced", and they may be in the process of handover. If new souls are summoned, the old souls cannot be replaced, wouldn't it?
It affects the reincarnation of old souls. Originally, we only drove away corpses who died on the battlefield. Later, we also helped those who were wrongfully killed by the government to drive the corpses back to their hometowns." The old man seriously told Chen Xiao the rules of this industry.
, Chen Xiao listened with great interest. However, what would the old man think if he knew that Chen Xiao was just listening to the story? He probably wanted to die.
At three o'clock in the morning, the old man smiled and said: "Let's go, we should be on our way. If you hadn't delayed me for so long, I'm afraid I would have reached the next town."
"Yeah!" Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Why don't you let me catch you this time!"
The old man looked at Chen Xiao in astonishment and said, "You have just started, how can you possibly drive away corpses?"
"Try it!" Chen Xiao chuckled and said, "Anyway, you have already made the runes. All I have to do is try and leave!"
"Okay, come on!" The old man knew that Chen Xiao was very powerful, but he didn't know what Chen Xiao's consciousness was. If his consciousness was strong, he could use it to drive away corpses. However, the next scene shocked the old man.
.
The corpses floated up together and rushed towards Chen Xiao one by one. Chen Xiao was immediately shocked: "****, what is going on?"
Seeing that he was about to be knocked down, Chen Xiao ran forward decisively. However, before he could run far, the corpses floated past again, resembling the weird ghosts in ghost movies. The old man hurriedly
Said: "You are using too much force."
Chen Xiao hurriedly relaxed his consciousness, and sure enough, those vacated corpses landed safely. However, each of them jumped forward quickly as if there were springs on their feet, with a speed comparable to that of a robot. Chen Xiao adjusted his consciousness again and let
Those strange corpses slowly slowed down and then caught up with the normal speed.
"****, you scared me to death!" Chen Xiao swallowed, the scene that just happened almost failed to scare Chen Xiao out of his wits.
"Haha... I have really found a top disciple!" The old man was very excited and said: "I didn't expect your telepathy to be so strong. It really is the wave behind the Yangtze River that pushes the wave ahead."
"Qian Lang died on the beach!" Chen Xiao answered angrily, "You didn't even notify me in advance. I almost died on this."
"How did I know that your telepathy was so strong?" The old man complained to Chen Xiao and said, "At first I thought you hadn't practiced telepathy yet. Without telepathy, you wouldn't be able to drive these corpses forward. The walking man's telepathy is very strong. This
This is also the reason why the spell I cast is so vicious. Most people cannot break it at all and can only be slowly tortured to death by this spell."
"Old man, don't you have special rules in your profession?" Chen Xiao looked at him curiously and said, "You can actually cast spells on ordinary people at will!"
"Of course!" the old man nodded and said: "There are so few people walking around now, even if they are caught, they don't know. What's more, I am punishing them, not using such means to make profits, and I have not violated the rules!
"
Chen Xiao was too lazy to continue arguing. The matter was over anyway, and there was no point in pursuing it further. After a thorough understanding, he found that apart from being a little paranoid and stubborn, he was basically a kind little old man. So, anything
All needed
You have to understand deeply, otherwise you will not discover the root of things. Just like Aunt Zhang, it seems to be a kind and maternal family, but who knows that her son is the bully in the town, and her mother is also a gossip. No wonder the old man
Will attack her son.
The two masters and apprentices continued on their way, and the old man hung a small gong on his chest, which is called a Yin gong. After knocking it, people in Xiangxi knew that the body chasers were coming, and every household would close the door to avoid it, and lock up the dogs. Chen Xiaoxiao
He said: "Old man, aren't you tired from walking like this every day? You walk hundreds of kilometers at a time."
"I'm used to it." The old man took a puff of cigarette and said, "I've been gone for more than forty years."
"Then what interesting things have you encountered?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.
"Interesting thing?" The old man was stunned, and then a strange smile appeared on his face and said: "Once when I was passing by a cemetery, I saw a couple having an affair. At that time, I just drove away the corpses.
Go over there and scare them into fainting, hehe, then you will be able to take advantage of me!"
Phew...
Chen Xiao laughed so hard on the spot that he fell on his back. This old man is really mean. He used such a vicious method to scare two people into unconsciousness. He also took advantage of the situation and raped the woman. I'll choke him. Chen Xiaoxiao
Said: "You are really the best. You made me laugh to death!"
"What's the point?" The old man took a puff of his cigarette disdainfully and said, "That woman is so slutty and slutty. If others can have sex with her, why can't I have sex with her?"
"Robber logic!" Chen Xiao didn't bother to argue with him.
"But that was more than 20 years ago!" The old man seemed a little nostalgic. Originally, Chen Xiao thought that the old man was very remorseful. Even if he didn't repent, he felt somewhat sad or guilty. However, what he said next
The words left Chen Xiao speechless. The old man said leisurely: "I never encountered such a good thing again. Alas, it's a pity that every time I walk, I will take a detour from that cemetery to take a look.
