"What?"
Nangong Lily felt a little confused.
"Squat down!"
Wang Dachun quickly pulled Nangong Baihe to hide behind a wall.
"look!"
Wang Dachun showed his head behind the wall and stretched out his finger. Nangong Baihe looked in the direction of Wang Dachun's finger and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is..."
"Shh!"
Wang Dachun quickly covered Nangong Baihe's cherry lips with his hands. The tenderness and softness between his palms made his heart skip a beat.
I saw a group of seven or eight people walking slowly forward in a long snake formation. The leader was wearing a pair of straw sandals, a green cloth gown, a black belt around his waist, and a green cloth hat on his head. .
This man holds a gong in one hand and a bell in the other. He shakes the bell in his hand from time to time, and occasionally grabs a handful of paper money from his pocket and throws it around.
The people behind him were all wearing black robes and low felt hats, covering their faces tightly, and their walking movements were a little stiff.
A group of people walked among the dilapidated walls and ruins, attracting gusts of dark wind.
Nangong Baihe suddenly felt a little chilly all over, "This...who are these people? Why do they look like dead people."
"They are dead!" Wang Dachun's faint voice came from his ears, making Nangong Baihe's face pale, "What are you talking about?"
"To be precise, except for the leader, everyone else is dead." Wang Dachun stared at those people without blinking, and what he said made Nangong Lily almost feel cold from head to toe.
Nangong Baihe subconsciously leaned closer to Wang Dachun, "Dachun, what on earth are you talking about? Why do you say they are dead people, and dead people can still walk? I don't study well, so don't lie to me."
Nangong Baihe breathed like orchid into Wang Dachun's ear, which made him feel distraught. Under the weak moonlight, her eyes were as bright as stars, which made Wang Dachun lose consciousness. He quickly shook his head, suppressed the charm in his heart, and said slowly :
"I wonder if you have ever heard of a corpse-mover?"
The folk industry of exorcising corpses has existed since ancient times. The purpose is to bring people who have died in a foreign country back to their hometown and return to their roots.
Those who want to learn this industry must meet two conditions: firstly, they must be brave, secondly, they must be in good health, and they must be apprenticed to a master.
The corpse exterminator never recruits apprentices randomly. The apprentice's parents will first establish a letter of approval, and then the corpse exorcist must interview.
Generally speaking, it is not easy to be a corpse exorcist apprentice. You must be at least 16 years old, more than 1.7 meters tall, and there is also a very special condition: you must be ugly.
The corpse driver first asks the candidate to look at the sun in the sky, then spins violently, and then suddenly stops, asking you to immediately distinguish between east, west, north and south. If you can't tell the difference, you will not be hired.
Because you don't distinguish between east, west, north and south, it means that you can't tell the direction when driving corpses at night, and you can't chase them away.
Then, the corpse mover will ask you to find things and carry a load, because the corpse is not a living person after all. If the corpse cannot climb up a steep slope, the corpse mover will have to carry it up the slope one by one.
Finally, there is another interview, in which the corpse exorcist will place a tung tree leaf on a grave in the mountains and ask you to retrieve it alone in the dark.
Only in this way can you prove that you have the courage to be a corpse exterminator. If you successfully pass these three levels, you will have the possibility to become an apprentice to the corpse exorcist.
In the house of the corpse exterminator, just like ordinary farmers, they still work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Only when they receive the business of removing corpses, they dress up and go to remove the corpses.
Although they drive away corpses, they are taboo with the term "moving away corpses." Therefore, when experts ask them to drive away corpses, they always say: "Master, please go for a walk, or take a walk."
If the corpse exorcist agrees, he will take out a special piece of yellow paper and ask you to write the name, date of birth, date of death, gender, etc. of the deceased on this piece of yellow paper.
Then draw a talisman, stick it on the yellow paper, and finally hide the yellow paper on yourself.
After listening to Wang Dachun's careful explanation, Nangong Baihe suddenly realized,
"I suddenly remembered that I had heard this statement! But shouldn't they be in Xiangxi? This is Southwest Province!"
Nangong Baihe took a look under the moonlight and found that the black-robed men behind them indeed had a piece of talisman paper taped on their foreheads, covering most of their faces.
Wang Dachun also looked confused, "Actually, I'm also very confused about this."
In fact, what Wang Dachun didn't know was that there had always been corpse exterminators in Southwest Province, but they were just not as famous as in western Hunan.
The corpse driver was shaking the bell, muttering something in his mouth, and hitting the broken gong from time to time. Wherever he passed, there was a dark wind, and even snakes, rats, insects and ants fled after hearing the wind.
"They are coming, hide quickly!" Wang Dachun pulled Nangong Baihe and quickly retreated to a courtyard.
It is said that if you encounter corpse chasers while walking at night, you must stay away.
Otherwise, if you bump into the spirits of the deceased, they will mistakenly think that you are not letting them go home, and they will haunt you.
The two of them hid in the yard and remained motionless. Gusts of cold wind blew past them, and it seemed that the temperature in the yard dropped several degrees.
Nangong Baihe's face turned pale with fright, and she almost squeezed her whole body into Wang Dachun's arms. Only in this way could she feel a sense of security.
She would rather fight the gangsters for three hundred rounds than face these things.
Wang Dachun patted Nangong Lily's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I have everything under my control!"
When he said this, Wang Dachun felt a little unsure, but he had to behave well in front of the beautiful woman.
When the dark wind blew over, Wang Dachun stuck his head out and said, "Let's go, follow us and have a look!"
Nangong Baihe's pretty face turned pale, "Huh? You've finally been waiting for them to leave, so why are you still following them?"
Wang Dachun said: "I think the direction they are going to is the inn. Don't forget that two of my people are missing. It may be related to these guys. I have to save people."
Nangong Baihe gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look with you."
The two made up their minds and followed the corpse chasers and the group of "people".
Wang Dachun found that although those "people" were a little stiff in their movements, they could accurately avoid obstacles, jump when they should, go around when they should, go downhill and uphill, and walk on bumpy roads with no problem.
It's just that when they dance, the yellow paper on their faces moves up and down, which makes people feel a little scary, as if they are always reminding Wang Dachun that these are not living people.
The two of them followed him cautiously, and after walking for about twenty minutes, Wang Dachun saw a building with lights on in the distance.
This building is an ancient building with three floors, a courtyard and a house behind it.
Wang Dachun swept his purple devil eyes and found a sign hanging at the door of the building, which read: "Resurrection Inn!"
hiss!
Wang Dachun took a breath. It seems that this inn is not simple!
