If it were in the past, Lin Mo would definitely not settle this matter so easily, but in this unfamiliar situation, leaving this village can be regarded as getting out of trouble. Finding Lin Meng next is Lin Mo's top priority.
heavy.
As for Xiao Hei, if there were no accidents, he should have left with Lin Meng. There was a secret between them, so they were always on the move after they came out. As long as you find one of them, you can find the other one.
This village is really remote. After Lin Mo left the village, he walked for a long time without seeing any concrete roads. They were all mountain trails or dirt roads. After leaving the village, he could not see anyone for several miles.
, the dark woods on both sides of the road made the dark night even more atmospheric.
He didn't know where to go, and he didn't have an accurate target. As the saying goes, Lin Mo was no longer in a hurry. He made sure that nothing was following behind him, slowed down, and started walking in the mountains and fields.
Walk slowly. As for the direction, just find a direction and walk forward. It doesn't matter where you go.
The moonlight was very bright tonight, so it was easy to get there. Lin Mo took out some bear meat prepared by Lu Dahai from the mirror space of his past life, and ate while walking. This life was also comfortable, but a little bit boring. After all, there were
Without food and wine, it is difficult to enjoy yourself to the fullest.
Just when Lin Mo was walking leisurely in the wilderness at night, his ears suddenly moved. He heard something different in the wilderness. The sound seemed to be the sound of a gong, which was relatively far away from him.
Yuan, I don’t know why there are people beating gongs and drums this late at night?
Since he was already so bored and had no direction, Lin Mo thought for a while and rushed in the direction of the sound. After all, the sound meant that there was someone. If there was someone, he might be able to get some news, such as
Where is this, or the whereabouts of Lin Meng and Xiao Hei.
After walking through a few turns and passing through a few woods that were not too big, the sound of the gong finally became clearer. Now Lin Mo was sure that there was someone over there, because besides the sound of the gong, there was also someone's voice.
Judging from the movement and the voice, the person must be quite old. He has been shouting: "Yin people are on their way, Yang people are avoiding. If you like it, avoid it. You can take care of yourself...".
A gong and a shout. This man's voice is quite loud, with a special accent. You can hear what he is shouting from a long distance away. The God of Joy here is talking about the corpse, and the person who is shouting is the driver.
Corpse craftsmen, the so-called corpse craftsmen, are those who send the deceased back to their hometown after they have died in a foreign land. There is a saying in China that fallen leaves return to their roots, and some areas also have some unique burial cultures. There are also not a few people who die in other places due to accidents or other reasons, so
The profession of corpse exorcist has existed, but now the corpse exorcist has basically become
Can't see it anymore.
Corpse driving was also mainly popular in Xiangxi in the old days. Corpse driving was also called moving spirits, walking shadows, and walking corpses in Xiangxi. It belongs to the Zhuyou family of Maoshan surgery and originated in Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi, Xupu and other places in western Hunan.
.Most of these areas are mountainous, making it difficult for vehicles and horses to travel, so the industry of corpse removal has emerged.
Let’s talk about these corpse exorcists. Although they exorcise corpses, they very avoid these two words, or corpses. Generally, when people who know a little bit about them come to them, they will ask them to “walk around” or “walk around a bit”.
"The so-called walking is actually to drive away the corpse, and generally they don't call the corpse directly the corpse, but the God of Joy, which is the homophone of "dead person" in the local area. This can also be regarded as a kind of respect for the deceased.
This corpse exterminator looks like nothing, but in fact it is not that easy to become a corpse exorcist. Rumor has it that if you want to become a corpse exorcist, you need to go through some assessments.
Among them, the most basic requirements are that they are over 16 years old, have a boyish body, are courageous, have good health, and are about 1.7 meters tall. Applicants with ugly appearance will be given priority. In addition to these basic requirements, the corpse hunter will also need to interview when choosing his apprentice.
It's a bit like recruiting and interviewing now.
This interview is the so-called passing three levels. There are three main assessments: First, the interviewer is asked to look up at the sun in the sky, spin in place, and quickly identify the direction after stopping. Second, the candidate is asked to move things and carry burdens. Look at this.
What is the strength and stamina of the interviewer? Thirdly, place an object belonging to the dead person or a tung tree leaf on the grave and let the interviewer find it in the middle of the night. No lights should be lit during the process.
After these three levels are passed, this apprentice corpse exorcist can be accepted and begin to teach some methods and techniques of corpse exorcism.
Of course, this is only to be able to work under the hands of the corpse exorcist. This work is completely different from being a real master. At first, you need to learn the basic thirty-six skills, and then some spells and Taoist techniques. Therefore, the corpse exorcist also has to learn the Yin and Yang Dao.
It's a very famous lineage.
Lin Mo had never heard of corpse exorcists, but had never seen them before. These corpse exorcists all walked around Xiangxi, and there were very few who wandered around the country, so it was basically impossible to see such people outside.
If you are curious, you might as well go and have a look. After eating the greasy bear meat in your hands, grabbing a few leaves and wiping your hands, Lin Mo walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
In that place where gongs and shouts echoed, a long line of white figures were moving slowly under the moonlight. The leader was an old man in black. He was wrapped up in a dark and slightly loose robe.
He was holding two things in his hand, his right hand was holding a triangular apricot-yellow flag to guide souls, and his left hand was holding a red rope. The red rope was not an ordinary red rope. There were many small copper bells tied to the red rope.
Behind the old man followed a group of people who behaved extremely strangely.
There were yellow talismans on their heads, and the way those people walked was different from ordinary people. They were very dull, like puppets on strings. The old man walked in the front and did not speak. When the bell rang, the guiding flag on the old man's right hand came out.
Wave it, and then a group of people take a step, which seems to have a unique charm.
Behind this group of people followed a man holding a gong. The man walked a few steps, struck the gong once, and then shouted: Yin people are on their way, Yang people avoid it, love to avoid it, you can take care of yourself...
The voice that Lin Mo heard before was made by this person. It was the first time that he saw a real corpse being driven away. Lin Mo was also curious in his heart, but he did not show up. He just stood in the shadow of the woods and watched from a distance.
As I said, Yin people rush and Yang people avoid it. Sometimes Lin Mo is a very obedient master. Of course, it is more to avoid misunderstandings.
There was a corner in front of Lin Mo. It was actually a bit of a bad idea for him to choose this place, because the corpse driver was leading a group of people. He wanted to see if the corpse driver could turn a corner.
Bell, will something interesting happen?
The old man in black quickly led these people here. The detour was indeed passed, and they also turned a ninety-degree turn. Apart from their movements appearing to be mechanical, these people's walking was normal. Of course, they were not ordinary people walking.
In this way, these people not only have yellow symbols on their foreheads, but their bodies are also obviously different from normal people. Each person's face is pale, exuding a green-black color, his eyes are closed tightly, and his eye sockets are so deep that he can hardly see.
With their eyes wide and sunken cheeks, they are all wearing white robes and holding their arms straight in front of them. Whenever the bell rings, these people will all jump forward.
Of course, this is not the kind of jump seen on TV, but a real jump without bending the knees. These people have become zombies. The joints of these zombies have long been rigid and cannot bend at all. So you need to know what a zombie is.
People are pretending to be real. It's very simple. Just look at the knees. Those whose legs never bend are zombies. This jumping method is difficult, and the speed depends on the zombie's own strength. It can also be regarded as a way to distinguish the type of zombie and its
A great way to show strength.
The old man in black robe glanced vaguely in Lin Mo's direction, then turned around and continued on his way, with no intention of coming over to check. The gong player behind the group opened his mouth and raised his neck again.
shouted.
Yin people are in a hurry, Yang people avoid it, love avoids it, you can take care of yourself...
As the voice fell, a small wind blew by. The pair of people had already moved forward past where Lin Mo was, but Lin Mo clearly saw something fluttering in the air for a long time, then landed on the ground.
At first glance, it was the yellow talisman stuck on the foreheads of those people.
