Chapter 461 A Strange Group of People
"What?"
Nangong Baihe felt a little confused.
"Squat down!"
Wang Dachun quickly pulled Nangong Lily to the back of a wall and hid.
"Look!"
Wang Dachun showed his head behind the wall and stretched out his hand. Nangong Baihe looked in the direction of Wang Dachun's finger and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is..."
"Shh!"
Wang Dachun quickly covered Nangong Baihe's cherry lips with his hands. The tenderness and softness between his palms made him feel excited.
A group of seven or eight people lined up in a long snake formation and walked slowly forward. The leader was wearing a pair of straw sandals, a long blue cloth gown, a black belt around his waist, and a blue cloth hat on his head.
The man held a gong in one hand and a bell in the other. He shook the bell in his hand from time to time, and occasionally grabbed a handful of paper money from his pocket and threw it away.
The people behind him were wearing black robes and low felt hats, covering their faces tightly, and walking was a little stiff.
The group walked among the broken walls and ruins, causing a gust of cold wind.
Nangong Baihe suddenly felt a little chilled all over, "What kind of people are these? Why do they look like dead people?"
"They are dead!" Wang Dachun's faint voice came from his ears, making Nangong Baihe's pretty face pale, "What are you talking about?"
"To be precise, except for the person in the leader, everyone else is dead." Wang Dachun stared at those people without blinking, and the words he said made Nangong Baihe almost turn from head to toe.
Nangong Baihe subconsciously leaned against Wang Dachun, "Dachun, what are you talking about? Why do you say that they are dead people, and dead people can still walk? If I study less, don't lie to me."
Nangong Baihe breathed like orchids in Wang Dachun's ear, which made him distracted. Under the faint moonlight, her eyes were as bright as stars, making Wang Dachun lose his mind. He shook his head quickly, suppressed the beauty in his heart, and said slowly:
"I wonder if you have ever heard of the corpse-driver?"
Since ancient times, there has been an industry of driving corpses among the people. The purpose is to bring people who have died in a foreign land back to their hometowns and return to their roots.
Those who study this industry must meet two conditions: one is courageous, the other is good health, and must become a disciple.
The corpse-driver never accepts apprentices randomly. The parents first set up a document for the apprentice, and then the corpse-driver must have an interview.
Generally speaking, it is not easy to be an apprentice of a corpse driving. It is about 16 years old and is over 1.7 meters tall. There is also a very special condition, and you should be ugly.
The corpse-driver first lets the examinee look at the sun in the sky, then spins violently, and then suddenly stops, asking you to distinguish between the east, west, south and north immediately. If you can't tell the difference, you can't hire it.
Because you don’t distinguish between east, west, south and north at this time, it means that you can’t separate the direction at night and cannot drive the corpse.
Then, the corpse-driver asks you to find something and carry the load, because the corpse is not a living person after all. When it encounters a steeper slope, the corpse cannot climb up, and the corpse-driver has to carry and carry it one by one on the slope.
Finally, there is another interview, where the corpse-driver puts a piece of tung leaf on the grave in the deep mountains and asks you to retrieve it alone in the dark night.
Only in this way can you show that you have the courage to be a corpse driver. If you pass these three levels successfully, you will have the possibility of becoming an apprentice of a corpse driver.
The corpse-driver's home, like ordinary farmers, still works from sunrise and perch at sunset.
Only when they receive the corpse driving business will they dress themselves up and go to drive the corpse.
Although they drive away corpses, they are taboo to drive away corpses. Therefore, when an insider asks them to drive away corpses, they say: "Master, please go and walk around, or walk back and forth."
If the corpse-driver agrees, he will take out a piece of special yellow paper and ask you to write the name of the dead person, date of birth, date of death, gender, etc. on this yellow paper.
Then draw a talisman, paste it on this yellow paper, and finally hide the yellow paper on yourself.
After hearing Wang Dachun's careful statement, Nangong Baihe suddenly realized.
"I suddenly remembered it. It seemed like I had heard this statement! But shouldn't they be in western Hunan? This is the southwestern province!"
Nangong Baihe took advantage of the moonlight and saw that the black-robed men behind each of them had a piece of talisman paper on their foreheads, covering most of their faces.
Wang Dachun also looked confused, "I'm actually very confused about this."
In fact, what Wang Dachun didn’t know was that there were actually corpse-drivers in the southwest province, but they were not as famous as Xiangxi.
The corpse-driver shook the bell and muttered something, and from time to time he beat the broken gong. Wherever he passed, he blew up the wind, and even snakes, rats, insects, and ants fled.
"They are here, hide quickly!" Wang Dachun pulled Nangong Baihe and quickly retreated to a yard.
It is said that if you encounter a corpse driving someone while walking at night, you must retreat.
Otherwise, if you hit the dead souls of the deceased, they will mistakenly think that you will not let them go home and will entangle you.
The two hid in the yard and did not move. A gust of cold wind blew past them, as if the temperature in the yard had dropped several degrees.
Nangong Baihe was so scared that her face turned pale, and she almost squeezed her entire body into Wang Dachun's arms. Only in this way can she feel a little safe.
She would rather fight with the gangster for 300 rounds, and she would not want to face these things.
Wang Dachun patted Nangong Baihe's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'll have it all!"
When Wang Dachun said this, he felt a little unsure, but he had to show off in front of the beauty.
When the gust of cold wind blew, Wang Dachun poked his head out and said, "Let's go and go and have a look!"
Nangong Baihe's pretty face turned pale, "Ah? I finally hoped that they would leave, why did I still have to follow me?"
Wang Dachun said: "I think the direction they are going to is an inn. Don't forget that two of my people are missing. Maybe if they have anything to do with these guys, I must save people."
Nangong Baihe gritted her teeth, "Okay, I'll go and have a look with you."
The two made up their minds and followed the corpse-driver and the group of "people".
Wang Dachun discovered that although those "people" moves a little stiffly, they can accurately avoid obstacles, jump when they should jump, go around when they should go, go uphill, and walk on bumpy roads without any problems.
It’s just that when they were dancing, the yellow paper on their faces made people feel a little creepy, as if they were reminding Wang Dachun that these are not living people.
The two followed him carefully and walked for about twenty minutes. Wang Dachun saw a building with lights on from afar.
This building is an ancient building, a three-story building, with a patio and houses behind it.
Wang Dachun swept his purple demonic eyes and found a sign hanging at the door of the building, with the letter: "Resurrection Inn!"
hiss!
