Chapter 23 Corpse Exorcism Inn

In the land of western Hunan, there has been a custom of driving corpses back to their hometowns since ancient times. In China, the idea of ​​​​returning to one's roots is very common. It can even be said to be engraved in the bones. During the war years in western Hunan, the profession of corpse chasers came into being.

Born.

There are some inns along the mountain paths in many dense forests in western Hunan. If you stay in these small inns in mountain villages, you will most likely see dead bodies walking. Before dawn, a group of people will stagger in front of the inns.

The corpses were all covered with wide black shrouds.

In front of these corpses covered with black shrouds, there is a living person holding a gong. This living person is called the "corpse driver" by the locals. In fact, it is better to say "the corpse driver" than the "corpse collector".

, because the corpse driver was beating the small gong in his hand while leading the group of corpses forward.

Instead of lighting a lantern, the exorcist shakes a soul-catching bell in his hand to avoid night walkers, and notifies people with dogs to lock up the dogs. If there are more than two corpses, the exorcist will string the corpses one by one with straw ropes, every other

One is seven or eight feet away. When walking in the dark night, the corpse wears a tall blanket hat on its head, and there are several yellow papers with talismans written on it hanging on its forehead.

There are "dead corpse inns" on the road. This kind of mysterious "dead corpse inn" only houses corpses and corpse removers, and ordinary people cannot stay there. Moreover, the doors of these inns are open all year round. Because of the two large door panels,

Behind, is where the corpse rests

The carpenter drove the corpses and arrived at the "Corpse Shop" before dawn. He left quietly at night and stayed out at night. The corpses were all standing neatly behind the door and leaning against the wall. On heavy rainy days, it was difficult to walk, so he stayed in the shop.

Stay here for a few days and nights.

On this day, there was an inn on the small hill outside Xiejia Village. On this day, a group of young men and women dressed in western style were found because of a sudden heavy rain while they were out for an outing.

I came to this inn to take shelter from the rain.

"There is a hotel here in Xie Yao, let's go in and take shelter from the rain!"

There was a young man with sharp eyesight who saw the hotel hidden in the woods through the heavy rain. In such an environment, the five of them rushed to the hotel without thinking too much.

Aqiu!!!

The moment these five people stepped into the hotel, two of the girls sneezed at the same time, and their bodies could not help but shiver. The other three boys also felt a chill at this time. It was originally a hot summer day, and it seemed that

It's like late autumn suddenly.

"Wang Li, do you think it's a bit spooky here?!" A boy with eyes asked the man next to him with a trembling voice.

"Zhang Yang, you are too timid. There are five of us. What are you afraid of? And with Brother Ren here, there is nothing to be afraid of." Wang Li was very confident when he spoke to the tall man in the lead.

At the same time, we did not forget to praise Ren Wei.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Zhang Yang let out a horrified scream and pointed at the door with trembling fingers, as if he had seen something horrifying.

When the other four people heard the sound, they immediately turned and looked towards the door of the inn. At this time, they saw three rows of people wearing black shrouds standing neatly outside the door of the inn. Ren Wei was also a martial arts practitioner.

I have good eyesight, so I looked up and saw that there were about sixty people.

It's just that the faces of these people were covered by yellow scrolls with Taoist symbols on them. The way they stood looked very weird, like flagpoles, and their bodies looked extremely stiff.

Around these people stood six Taoist priests in Taoist robes. The leader was an old Taoist with white hair, a hooked nose, and squinted eyes. He looked very sinister. The appearance of this group seemed to make the temperature of the hotel suddenly rise.

In the meantime, the temperature dropped several times, making people shudder.

Zhang Yang's cry obviously not only alerted Ren Wei and the others, but also alerted the people outside the inn. When the white-haired old man saw other people in the yard, his face changed slightly, and his expression was a bit...

Embarrassed and a little unhappy at the same time.

"Old man Sun, what's the matter with you!?"

The white-haired old man shouted to the inside of the hotel. The next moment, he walked out with an old man exuding green will-o'-the-wisps.

"Holy souls, who are you!?"

The man named Old Man Sun originally responded to the white-haired old man with a somewhat unkind tone, but suddenly when he saw the five Ren Wei people standing aside, his face became ugly. His already gloomy face turned completely black.

.

Seeing Old Man Sun coming out, Ren Wei and the weirdos at the door thought of something. He quickly took two steps forward, raised his hands and saluted: "Hello, sir, I took the liberty of coming here to take shelter from the rain. It's really..."
p>

After hearing what Ren Wei said, Old Man Sun looked at the five of them and understood. At that moment, Old Man Sun's eyes fell on the white-haired Taoist group.

At that moment, Old Man Sun didn't bother to reply to Ren Wei, and said to the white-haired old man with a solemn expression: "Old Yang, what's going on? There must be about sixty corpses behind you! And if we count the time now,

, it’s still noon, not only did you catch twenty more cars than previously informed, but you also drove three days earlier than before. According to this calculation, you still rushed on the road during the day, and you, the children of the Yang family, are not going to die?!"
p>

Just when Old Sun stepped forward to question the white-haired old man, Wang Li asked puzzledly to Zhang Yang, who looked pale: "Isn't it just a group of people? Although it's a little weird, you won't be so scared, right!?"<

/p>

"No...no!"

Zhang Yang spoke with some trembling. Then he took a few deep breaths and even touched his chest a few times to suppress his heart that was about to jump out of his chest. Then he continued to point at the group of people outside the room and said: "I see

It’s very clear that these people just emerged from the ground!”

"Isn't it possible!?"

Except for Ren Wei, everyone else looked at Zhang Yang suspiciously. At this time, Ren Wei's face was a little ugly. He finally confirmed what he had just thought and whispered to the four people: "They seem to be Taoist exorcists? What are the possibilities?"

They are all corpses of people who died in a foreign land!"

"Crush the corpse?!"

Zhang Yang and the others were shocked. The two girls almost screamed. Fortunately, Ren Wei was good at covering their mouths. Then, Ren Wei's attention turned to Old Man Sun and the others.

.

At this time, I heard the white-haired old man explain helplessly: "You also know that in a few years there will be an eternal catastrophe. It is difficult for a corpse exorcism family like our Yang family to survive, so the head of the family decided that in recent years

, speed up the speed and frequency of expelling corpses, and accumulate more virtue, so we can rush more quickly and more than before. I think you should be able to understand and won't shut us out, right?!"

"Even your Yang family is afraid that you won't be able to survive this disaster?!"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Sun frowned and said with a worried look: "Even with you, there are already no less than thirty Taoist families directly or from side sects who are preparing ways to deal with the disaster, either to escape the world and live in seclusion, or to accumulate knowledge.
