The old corpse exorcist was frightened when he saw that I was ruthless and not as pedantic and kind-hearted as some of the "well-established" monks I had met before.
Not daring to be conceited anymore, he honestly explained his identity and some of the information he knew...
It turned out that the old man who drove away corpses was named Liu Jing, and he was from a Miao village in the southeastern region of Guizhou.
Their village has been in a "half-baked" state since the Ming Dynasty, with half of the people growing seedlings and half of the people cooking them.
The so-called shengmiao refers to people who do not understand Chinese and maintain the original living conditions of the Miao people.
Miao people are Miao people who understand Chinese, learn Chinese characters, and have basically been "sinicized".
Liu Jing was originally a young boy, but his parents died early and he was adopted by a mature boy from the same village when he was very young. Taking him out to travel around the world was already a matter of the Republic of China!
It was a time of chaos and war. When Liu Jing followed his adoptive father to make a living, he would naturally encounter all kinds of strange things.
Once, the father and son were transporting a batch of goods and camped out at night in a dilapidated and abandoned Buddhist temple.
I never expected that there would be monsters in this temple at night!
It's a rat demon.
It's all because he stole the lamp oil enshrined in front of the Buddha statue, which is equivalent to taking away part of the power of the incense, and turned into a monster with some Taoism.
To be honest, it is most common for rats to turn into monsters in Buddhist temples!
Because rats are everywhere, and what Buddhism calls compassion is one who cannot bear to kill. As a result, there were always a lot of rats in the temple.
And Buddhism absorbs the power of incense and wishes from believers - I once had a very profound experience of this at the "Golden Buddha Temple" in Fubei County, where the entire temple was wrapped in the rich power of incense and wishes.
Especially the golden body of Lord Buddha in the Main Hall, the power of incense and fire has almost condensed into substance, which is very amazing.
These huge unconscious energies are shrouded near the temple, and the rats living in the temple can easily become spirits...
So sometimes I wonder why there are similar scenes in "Journey to the West". Maybe it's because this is a relatively common situation in reality, right?
If it is a temple where incense is flourishing, even if a mouse secretly drinks the lamp oil that gathers the power of incense and becomes a demon, it will not dare to be too presumptuous. Maybe some people have the ability to be good monsters - there is always a family of such good mouse monsters in Eling Ghost Market in Chongqing City.
But if it's a dilapidated and abandoned temple, the rat demon can easily become evil and weird and turn into an evil demon!
Liu Jing was more unlucky. He and his adoptive father encountered this kind of Buddhist rat demon.
To be honest, he is just a "little demon" who is not very powerful. But for Liu Jing, who was still an ordinary person at the time, it was simply unbelievable and horrifying.
That night, Liu Jing's adoptive father was bitten by a rat demon and his throat was bitten off. He bled to death on the spot.
Liu Jing himself didn't die, but the thing was bitten off during the attack... and he couldn't be a real man anymore!
To say that this rat demon is a bit wretched and perverted.
Why did he bite off Liu Jing's thing?
Just when the rat demon was about to attack him again, suddenly!
Whoosh!
A black stream of light flew in from outside the mountain gate of the abandoned temple and arrived in an instant. It pierced the rat demon's heart, then penetrated the body and flew out, piercing...
In one second, he pierced the rat demon back and forth three or four times. Several holes were made in the monster's body, and finally a sharp and long handleless flying knife was inserted into it!
Naturally, the rat demon died on the spot.
Liu Jing was surprised and happy, knowing that he was saved.
He turned around and saw a handsome young man with a bit of evil spirit slowly walking into the temple.
Keng!
The flying knife trembled and flew directly back from the rat demon's corpse, flying around the man in a circle and disappearing into the wide sleeves of the robe.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jing was amazed and knew that he had met an expert.
Immediately he bowed his head and bowed.
"Thank you, Master, for saving your life!"
The handsome and evil man chuckled.
"You're welcome, it's just a piece of cake. I see what you're wearing, you're from the Wuka Miao Village in southeastern Guizhou. Your Miao Village has been famous for hundreds of years in the art of exorcising corpses. How could it be that you don't know how to do it at all? Even a little You can't even deal with the rat demon. Have you reduced yourself to this?"
What? !
Liu Jing was shocked when he heard this.
He has traveled around the world with his adoptive father in these years, and naturally he has heard of the famous technique of "Xiangxi Corpse Exorcism".
But I didn’t expect that the Miao village where I was born in the southeastern region of Guizhou would be proficient in the art of exorcising corpses!
Seeing Liu Jing's confusion, the handsome and evil man laughed again.
"It is rumored that in the Shengmiao of Wuka Miao Village, the basic method of exorcising corpses is to tattoo on the chest. Do you have any tattoos on your chest?"
Liu Jing was even more horrified - he had indeed had a tattoo on his chest for as long as he could remember.
He quickly pulled off his clothes and looked down.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see any content.
The mysterious man took a few glances and then smiled.
"The secret technique of exorcising corpses taught in Wuka Miao Village is indeed exquisite, and it is no worse than the corpse exorcism craftsmen in western Hunan. Since I have read it, if you are interested, I will pass it on to you."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand towards Liu Jing to get a little closer.
Suddenly, a wave of mental thoughts passed into Liu Jing's mind, and he actually understood the secret technique of exorcising corpses in the village!
In fact, this is what the talented people in Wuka Miao Village can do. It's a pity that Liu Jing's parents died early and he didn't have time to learn, and he himself couldn't talk about it...
I just didn't expect that so many years after my parents died, I would be taught by a mysterious master by chance in a temple.
"Okay, I'm just passing by. Since you're fine, I'll leave."
The man turned around and left without asking for anything in return.
Liu Jing said quickly.
"Dare I ask my benefactor's name? One day, I will definitely repay you for this life-saving grace."
The man still had that lazy smile.
"It's just a trivial matter, just do it casually, don't take it to heart. Of course, if you are really serious, if you see someone who can use the black energy flying knife technique like me in the future, just help when you need help."
With that said, the man turned around and left.
Liu Jing kowtowed a few times in the direction he left, and then stared at the rat demon and his father's corpse in a daze for more than half an hour...
Finally, he hit hard!
Just dig out the heart and brain of the rat demon and eat it - the monster is still relatively weak, and before it condenses the "demon elixir", its main power is stored in the heart and brain.
After Liu Jing ate it, he followed the "corpse removal technique" that he already had in his mind and directly tried to drive away his adoptive father as the first corpse!
Perhaps he was really talented and succeeded immediately.
The adoptive father, whose throat was bitten by the rat demon, stood up unsteadily again and followed his instructions!
For young Liu Jing, this seemed to open the door to a new world!
From then on, he embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
Of course, people who came from that war-torn era had ferocious personalities, and gradually began to become evil... Anyway, in those troubled times, it had almost become a habit to kill people frequently to feed their "corpse puppets" with blood.
So much so that in modern civilized society, Liu Jing still can't change this horrible habit!
That is naturally an evil cultivator and is not tolerated by decent cultivators.
Of course it doesn't matter to him, as long as he doesn't get caught.
Unexpectedly, not long ago, by chance... Liu Jing actually encountered someone who used a black flying knife as a means of attack!
It was a woman covered in black robes and wearing a mask.
He recalled his savior many years ago, so he naturally threw himself under his command and was driven by him - in fact, even if there was no such relationship, Liu Jing would not dare to refuse.
Because that woman is too powerful!
Facing the attack of the "Black Qi Flying Knife", he had no power to fight back... He was about to give in.
Then Liu Jing learned that the mysterious woman was collecting the souls of [Yin Nu], and it seemed that she was going to use them to do something shocking in Shanghai!
Although he is bold and murderous, he is not stupid either.
Knowing that the other party is probably going to cause a huge incident, it will definitely conflict with Zhengxiu's strength and even the imperial court. So I got a little timid and didn’t want to do it anymore…
Although the life-saving grace is important, the mysterious woman is not the man himself, she is probably a member of his clan? There is no need to work so hard, not to mention that your own life is still more important!
However, Liu Jing's thoughts were seen through by the mysterious woman, who directly inserted some kind of control spell into his body. If you don't obey orders, you will die of confusion!
Liu Jing had no choice but to continue to obey orders...
After he finished speaking, I sneered.
"Haha, from what you say, you seem to think you are a victim?"
Liu Jing called Qu.
"Yes! If I hadn't been coerced, I wouldn't have come to arrest Lao Shizi Yinnu. It wouldn't do any good for a corpse hunter like me."
I said coldly.
"The innocent people you have killed in the decades since you have been practicing are enough to kill you more than a hundred times! What is wrong with you? You have given too little information about that mysterious woman."
Liu Jing was helpless.
"Because I don't know much originally, I...ah!!!"
He screamed again because I cut him again.
"I said, I continue to say!"
Liu Jing further explained that the mysterious woman often summoned them and issued instructions in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in Lujiazui, Pudong.
Tonight's task was carried out by him and another Maoshan warlock. They were to kill He Nan and another "yin girl" named Fan Xiaoqing, collect their souls and bring them back...
I sighed.
"I don't know if the other colleagues of East China Show Star have protected that Fan Xiaoqing."
