"Especially in the latter, lynchings were serious in many places, and the punishments were extremely cruel. There were five types of torture, sawing, burning, feeding, cooking, skinning, etc."
"These people have great grievances after death, and sometimes they will make troubles! The more miserable the death, the more violent the troubles."
"At this time, the profession of corpse-carrying craftsman is needed, and some people also call it corpse-carrying craftsman."
"Each profession has its own taboos and rules. For example, in the profession of corpse-carrying craftsman, people who are beheaded in half need to be taken very seriously."
"Some people are very resentful after being chopped in half. Such two corpses cannot be buried in one place, otherwise there will be trouble."
"The place where two bodies are buried needs to be extremely careful and can block evil spirits. It is a common place beside streams and rivers."
Li Yanchu spoke briefly, but even so, Wang Captou's eyes had changed.
He just asked tentatively, but he didn't expect that Taoist priest Yan Chu would understand so much at such a young age.
Wang Captou said: "Taoist Master Yanchu is really an extraordinary person."
Li Yanchu, who was already immune to Lao Wang's boasting, was moved in his heart.
Li Yanchu asked: "What happened to Wang Captou?"
Wang Bao nodded and said with a wry smile: "That's right. If it hadn't been for Taoist Priest Yan Chu's advice, I would have only half-understood. I would have made some big mistake."
"I received a report from the county government today. Two corpse-carriers, an old man and a young man, were passing by Weicheng, but they both disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown."
"It wasn't until today that one of them came to the Yamen to report the case and wanted to ask the Yamen to send someone to find him. I remembered it in my mind. If it hadn't been for the explanation given by Taoist Priest Yanchu just now, I almost missed the important event."
Li Yanchu: "......"
Lao Wang, what kind of physique do you have? How can we have a meal together? It's either this or that.
Compared with Wang Captou, Li Yanchu is well aware of some taboos in the corpse-carrying profession.
Those who traveled long distances to carry corpses would probably have been extremely resentful before they died and died miserably.
Such a corpse is extremely prone to accidents.
Li Yanchu frowned and said, "I wonder what kind of corpse the corpse-carrier threw this time?"
Wang Captou sighed: "It's just a two-part corpse of unknown origin."
Li Yanchu's heart sank and he asked, "What's going on?"
Chief Wang said: "According to the body-carrying man who reported the case, they are from Liujia Village in Yang County."
"That day, a villager in Liujia Village got married. The whole village went to have a wedding banquet. Only the man who died after falling from the mountain while collecting medicine a few days ago had someone staying at his family to keep vigil."
"I didn't expect that the body that had been in the coffin for seven days disappeared and turned into a weird two-part corpse."
"I almost scared the villagers who were keeping watch to death. Li Zheng immediately reported it to the police, but the body of the man who fell to death has never been found."
"Furthermore, the local county government did not execute the criminal who had been chopped in half. No one knows the origin of this two-part corpse."
"But strange things began to happen in the village. First, livestock died inexplicably, and then many villagers fell unconscious with fever."
"The old man in the village thought that the strange corpse was causing trouble, so he sent someone to invite the most famous corpse-carrier in the area to come and deal with the two-part corpse."
"These two corpse-carriers are a pair of uncles and nephews. When they passed outside Wei City, not only the older corpse-carriers, but also the weird two-part corpse disappeared."
Li Yanchu had a thoughtful look in his eyes. This matter didn't seem that simple.
Weicheng has been peaceful for many years, but it seems a little restless recently.
Wang Captou said: "I know that I have troubled Taoist Master Yanchu many times, and I really feel bad about it. But now that the Qingyi Temple Fair is approaching, there really is no trouble. I would like to ask Taoist Master Yanchu to go with me to search for the corpse-bearer and the two sections." corpse."
Li Yanchu had long known that Wang Captou would say this, so he was not surprised.
It was just the words Wang Captou said about the Qingyi Temple Fair that caught his attention.
"Could it be related to the recent Qingyi Festival?" Li Yanchu thought in his mind.
Li Yanchu agreed to Wang Captou's request.
He has already integrated into this world, and it is good to be able to do what he can.
It is definitely not for the rewards from the Yamen and the merit gained from killing evil spirits.
...
On the road, the wind and dust billowed.
Two carriages left the city.
Each carriage is driven by a sword-carrying officer.
Li Yanchu sat in the first car with Wang Captou.
Following Li Yanchu's suggestion, Wang Captou did not bring many people.
There were only four capable government officials and one young corpse-carrier.
This world may be due to the abundant spiritual energy, and the carriage can run faster.
Soon we came to a village.
Everything you see is desolate, the walls are covered with dead vines, every house is deserted, and the whole village is so quiet that it's scary.
The carriage stopped at the roadside.
A young man with broad ears and a somewhat lean figure walked out of the second carriage.
"This is where my uncle disappeared."
The young man's voice was hoarse.
He was the young corpse-carrier who came to the Yamen to report the case, and the missing person was his third uncle.
Li Yanchu and Wang Baotou walked down and looked around.
Wang Captou said to Li Yanchu: "Taoist Master Yanchu, this place was originally called Zhangjiazhuang, but a strange thing happened. More than a dozen villagers were beheaded overnight and placed neatly at the door. "
"The case caused a sensation at first, but after many days of exclusion, the murderer could not be found."
"A famous wandering Taoist priest said that it was haunted and that evil spirits were seeking lives. This statement coupled with the tragedy in Zhangjiazhuang, the villagers of Zhangjiazhuang gradually moved away from this place, turning it into an abandoned village."
Ever since Captou Wang experienced Capt. Zhao turning into an evil corpse, now that he hears such ghosts and corpses, he feels sick in his heart.
I went to the county to check, but I didn't expect that the place where the body-carrying artist disappeared turned out to be a murderous village.
Speaking of this at this time, there was a hint of unknown nervousness in Wang Captou's voice.
Li Yanchu nodded, but he didn't have much emotion.
He takes things like ghosts and evil spirits much more lightly than ordinary people.
how to say.
This is what professionals do, is it okay to be afraid of ghosts?
Li Yanchu used the Qi Watching Technique and checked the village, but found nothing.
Either there was no problem here, or the evil spirits here were so strong that he couldn't see anything unusual.
He didn't tell Wang Captou the truth, he just said to be careful.
The name of the young corpse-carrier is Song Sanlang. Li Yanchu confirmed again: "Are you sure your third uncle disappeared as soon as you woke up?"
Song Sanlang nodded and said, "That's right."
"The corpse-bearer has been dealing with the dead all year round and has his own unique methods. It is said that he will not be easily harmed by evil spirits." Li Yanchu said.
What he said is right. Corpse-carriers are all talented and have a very tough destiny. Otherwise, they would not be able to do this job.
