Sun Nong was still dubious. If it was really like what Gila said, then that strange old man must be too scary.
"Of course, the master said that one of the people you introduced was not very restless, so he asked me to help him when he met him."
Gila pulled out the mahogany sword on her back and danced a sword flower.
"How could it be? Stop joking. They are too dead to die anymore."
Sun Nong smiled. What Ji La said was too funny. No wonder he made faces at him that day. At first glance, he looked like a child who had not shed his youthful nature.
"My master said he could do it, and he definitely did. He never said he missed it. Anyway, if we pay attention on the way, there will be no harm in it."
Sun Nong thought about it and sailed carefully. He and Jira walked along the path towards the six male corpses.
"Jira, something strange happened." Sun Nong quickened his pace and walked towards the man's body.
"What?"
Gila, who was having fun playing with the mahogany sword and dancing with sword flowers, saw Sun Nong speeding up and trotted forward too.
"Maybe you're right, fake corpse."
Sun Nong had a bad feeling in his heart. His eyesight at night was much better than that of ordinary people. At a glance, there was one missing among the six male corpses. Thinking of what Gila had just said to him, he made random guesses in his mind.
Sun Nong had only heard of corpse fraud, but had never encountered it before. Once dead, he was dead. The exorcists only used special means to make the corpse move mechanically.
When his father taught him the art of exorcising corpses, he simply said how to deal with the fake corpses. It was just that the facial features were not completely sealed and the yang energy was released. He had to seal them again with cinnabar and peach wood nails, or control them with soul-inducing bells.
.
Sun Nong believes that the most common response to corpse fraud is disobedience to instructions and the need to rearrange the soul-inducing runes and corpse-leaping ropes.
But the scene in front of him completely overturned Sun Nong's understanding of corpse fraud. A male corpse disappeared inexplicably. Could it be that someone stole the corpse in the middle of the night?
When Gila caught up with Sun Nong, Sun Nong was squatting on the ground. The short bamboo stick inserted in the soil had only five complete threads and one torn thread end.
You must know that this is a thread made by a special method. It is as strong as a cotton rope with the thickness of an ordinary finger. It takes a lot of strength to break it.
Seeing this situation, Gila thought of what her master had said. There was a restless corpse because there was a frog in his belly, which sucked the life of the living creature and made the soul remaining in the body come alive.
An animal instinct reaction.
Gila later asked the master why he just warned him to be careful and didn't tell the exorcists clearly.
The master said that everything depends on cause and effect. To be clear, the corpse chaser will owe his own cause, and there will be no intersection in this life. If the corpse chaser cannot repay the debt, he will have to pay it back in the next life. Why bother giving others another life?
What's the trouble?
"Brother Gila, what should we do?" Sun Nong looked at the barren mountains and ridges around him and couldn't decide which direction to pursue.
Jira squatted down, looked at the torn string, then grabbed the soil on the ground and rubbed it with her fingers, which made it slightly moist.
"We don't have a long rest, so we shouldn't go far. Let's look around."
Sun Nong looked at Jira squatting on the ground, pinching a piece of soil with his fingers. He didn't know what Jira was thinking, so he spoke his thoughts casually.
"Where to look for it? If you run in the wrong direction, you may have gone further. If it is really a fake corpse, it will be a big trouble if you run to a place with people."
Jira said as he took out a bulging paper bag from the cloth bag on his body. After opening it, Sun Nong held his breath and scattered the white powder in the paper bag into the air.
After the powder fell to the ground, leading to the grass on the right, a series of footprints appeared on the ground.
"Fortunately, it rained earlier and the soil was not completely dry, otherwise a lot of things would have been wasted."
Ji La clapped her hands, looked at Sun Nong who was frozen on the spot, staring at her in disbelief, and said with a proud smile: "Why don't you hurry up and chase after me? I've shocked you with my small skills? I know a lot of things."
"Oh." After reacting, Sun Nong stood up, jumped over the grass next to him, and jumped two meters away. In terms of walking skills, he was no worse than Gila.
Under the weak moonlight, Sun Nong ran wildly through the grass, while Gila chased after him hard, almost missing the mark several times. He found that Sun Nong was more powerful when walking in such a bumpy place at night.
"Hiding here."
Sun Nong stopped and saw a dark figure squatting on the ground in the corner not far in front of him, twitching constantly.
Sun Nong, who was full of anger, pulled out the soul-inducing bell from his waist and stepped closer to the figure.
Standing behind the black shadow, Sun Nong shook the soul-inducing bell. As the bell sounded, the black shadow twitched even more violently.
"Get up!" Sun Nong followed the soul-drawing technique, shook the soul-drawing bell, and shouted.
The black figure then stood up, and Sun Nong breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to ring the bell. Without the rope to hold the corpse, he could only rely on the soul-inducing bell to control the male corpse.
"Walk!"
Sun Nong shouted, but the man's body was still facing away from him, his body was twitching, and he stood there without moving even a step.
He rang the bell again and shouted "Let's go!" The male corpse still didn't move.
Sun Nong instinctively stretched out his hand to pull the clothes of the male corpse.
"don't want!"
Gila rushed over and shouted to stop. But Sun Nong's hand had already grabbed the clothes of the man's corpse.
The moment Sun Nong touched the male corpse, the male corpse turned around suddenly and grabbed Sun Nong's arm tightly with one hand. His long nails dug into Sun Nong's flesh, and a stream of black blood flowed from his arm.
come out.
Sun Nong looked up and saw red blood flowing from the corners of the man's corpse, and there were some animal hairs in the mouth. It looked like he had just eaten a mouse.
Gila rushed over, kicked the male corpse in the chest, and kicked the male corpse two meters away.
"Sun Nong, how are you?"
Ji La looked at Sun Nong's other hand, squeezing the bleeding arm tightly, grinning and exhaling.
"how so?"
"It's a fake corpse. He instinctively searches for food. All living creatures are his targets. I'll clean up this thing first. You can stop the bleeding first."
As Jira said, her mahogany sword danced like a sword flower and stabbed towards the male corpse.
After the male corpse was stabbed by the mahogany sword, a stream of green smoke came out of his chest. His mouth opened and closed in a biting motion, and he fell to the ground and began to twitch.
"Is it nothing more than that?"
Gila patted the dust on his clothes, took out a black string and a piece of talisman from his cloth bag. He was going to use his own method to control the male corpse first.
Suddenly, the male corpse turned over, put his hands on the ground, kicked hard with both feet, and jumped away like a rabbit.
