Chapter 66 Corpse Poison! 2

Two flowers bloom, one for each. But it is said that this mother-in-law's beast is a big deal. Oh, no, it should be said that she showed her magic power and solved several haunted things for two or three days in a row. But the next thing made everyone dumbfounded again. Why? The dam is almost repaired, but the river is getting less and less. At first, it was still a foot wide, and it didn't take long to be a foot wide. Moreover, the crops were cracked, and it was too late to water, killing a lot of seedlings. What's more strange is that the dark clouds finally come, but as long as they pass through Xiushui Village, they will disappear immediately, and there is not even a fart left. Village head Tian is in a hurry all day. He is ready to go to the town in person and ask the troops to drag anti-aircraft guns to make artificial rain, but there must be clouds in artificial rain, right? In this clear sky, where do you aim at the muzzle?

Lack of water, a life problem that used to be difficult to solve, has made the villagers sad for the first time. Liu Dashao suddenly remembered a sentence from an ancient book at home: "As soon as the drought comes out, the land will be thousands of miles away!" This ancient book is not his father's or his grandfather's, but a gift from Mrs. Fan. The title of this book is Zhengyi Fu Zuo. There are many ancient Chinese and many places can't be understood, but there are many strange things. Children like strange things, so Liu Da Shao has not read a lot these days, and for a period of time he has reached the level of unreleased. In this "Zhengyi Fu Compilation", there is a record of this demon 'Drought'.

The so-called 'drought' is actually one of the zombies. Generally, areas with 'drought' will have a severe drought, and not a drop of rain will fall. If we talk about the root cause of 'droughts', we should start from ancient times. In folklore, 'droughts' should first appear in the huge and tragic battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou.

All the power that can be used by both sides is used. Chiyou brothers are born with divine power, copper skulls and iron bones, and can drive all kinds of beasts, poisonous insects and ghosts. And the Yellow Emperor's side takes the wind and rain division as the vanguard and makes the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth. ( The Taoist Taoist altar still retains the word rain as the rune). The most terrible thing is that Xuanyuan actually asked the exotic zombies to turn into drought. The mythical drought is ferocious and terrible. The green eyes are born on the top of the head, and the hair is full of small snakes, and the body is full of white steel hair, which is infinitely powerful. ' Wherever you go, there won't even be a drop of rain. There is often a three-year drought, thousands of miles of red land, and everything dies of thirst.

But the legend is just a legend, and the real zombies are not so exaggerated. The most popular rumor about zombies should be the corpses in Xiangxi. The theory of driving corpses in western Hunan is also known as moving spirits, walking shadows and walking corpses. It belongs to Maoshan Shuzhu Youke, which originates in the four counties of Yuanling, Qixi, Chenxi and Xupu in western Hunan. Because most of these areas are mountainous and it is difficult for vehicles to pass, there is a corpse-repulsion industry, which is usually driven back to their hometowns for burial when the bodies are not decayed.

What they are chasing belongs to the walking corpse. The corpse-batcher is called "the corpse-bomber." Generally, the body is driven to Yizhuang or a fixed shop before dawn. The method of driving corpses is also a variety of strange drifting corpses, back corpses, flying corpses and even cylint corpses, which is hard to believe, thus creating many horror legends of zombie stories.

The corpses are generally covered with a wide black corpse cloth, with a high felt cap on their heads, and a few yellow papers with spells hanging on their faces on their foreheads. In front of these corpses in black corpses, there is a corpse driver with a gong in his hand. The corpse driver knocked on the small yin gong in his hand and led the group of corpses forward. He usually shouted, "Dust to dust, earth to earth, life is so hard. Zombies and zombies come with me and go back to their hometown early.

The corpse driver did not hit the lantern, and shook a dementer bell in his hand to avoid it, and informed the people who had dogs to lock up the dogs. If there are more than two bodies, the corpse driver will string the bodies one by one with a straw rope, one every seven or eight feet away. There is also a saying that the reason why the corpse driver can drive the corpse is that he can use a kind of herbal medicine from the Miao family and apply it to the mouth and nose of the corpse of the yin body, so that he can continue to walk like an ordinary person at night, but he can't speak and think, and can obediently obey the command of the corpse-man.

In Xiangxi people, there has been an industry of driving corpses since ancient times. There are two conditions for learning this industry: one is bold, and the other is good health. Moreover, you must be a teacher. The corpse driver never randomly collects apprentices. The apprentice is first set up by the parents, and then the corpse driver must be interviewed. Generally speaking, it depends on the age of 16 and the height is more than 1.7 meters. At the same time, there is a very special condition, and the appearance should be ugly. The corpse driver first asked the examinee to look at the empty sun, then rotated, and then suddenly stopped, asking you to immediately distinguish between east, west, north and south. If you can't distinguish, you can't hire. Because you don't distinguish between east, west, north and south at this time, it means that you can't drive the corpses at night and can't drive the corpses. Then, the corpse driver asked you to find something and carry a burden. Because the body is not a living person after all. When it encounters a steep high slope, the body can't climb up. The corpsemen have to carry them on the high slope one by one. Finally, there is an interview, which is that the corpse driver puts a piece of tung leaves on the deep mountain grave mountain and asks you to pick it up alone at night. Only in this way can it show that you have the courage to be a corpse driver. After successfully passing these three passes, you have achieved the possibility of becoming an apprentice to the corpse driver.

And the corpse driver has to learn thirty-six skills to drive the corpse. The first kind of work is the "standing skill" of the dead body, that is, to make the dead body stand up first. The second skill is "walking", that is, to make the body stop freely, and the third skill is "turning", that is, the corpse can turn when walking. In addition, there are "downhill work", "bridge work", "dumb dog work" and so on. "Dumb dog power" can make the dogs along the way not bark when they see the body. Because the dead body is afraid of the dog barking, when the dog barks, the dead body will be shocked, especially when the dog comes to bite, the dead body has no ability to resist. The dead body will be bitten to the skin. The last kind of skill is "re-soul return skill". The better the soul skill, the more souls there will be, and it will be particularly easy to drive up the corpse.

The corpse driver is usually at home, just like ordinary farmers, "the sun rises and the sun rests." Only when they received the task of driving the corpse did they dress up and go to drive the corpse. Although they work in the industry of driving corpses, they avoid the term driving corpses. Therefore, the insiders asked them to drive away the corpses, and they all said, "Master, please go and walk" or "walk once." If the corpse driver agreed, he took out a special yellow paper, asking you to write the name, date of birth, date of death, gender, etc. on the yellow paper, then draw a symbol, paste it on the yellow paper, and finally hide the yellow paper on himself. The corpse driver's clothes are also very special: no matter what the weather is, he wears a pair of straw shoes, a blue cloth gown, a black belt around his waist, a blue cloth hat on his head, and a bag with a bag of charms. Master, the first thing to do is to draw a charm. This very strange charm is to draw something like a word and a picture on a red pen on yellow paper. When you encounter an unexpected situation on the way, you hang this strange charm on a tree or door facing westward, and sometimes burn ash and swallow it with water.

There is also a saying that "three rush, three don't rush" to drive the corpse in western Hunan. Anyone who is beheaded (must be sewn together), hanged, or dies in a cage. The reason is that they were all forced to die. They died unconvincedly. They miss their hometown and their relatives. They can use magic to hook their souls, put them in their bodies with charms, and then use spells to drive them up the mountains, and even get on the boat and return to their hometown.

Those who die of illness, those who die voluntarily by hanging their necks, and those who are incomplete with thunder and fire can't be caught up. Among them, the person who died of illness has enjoyed all the years, and his soul has been hooked to the king of hell by the impermanent ghost. Naturally, the spell cannot call their soul back from the ghost gate; and the soul of the person who throws the river is "replaced". ( That is, they were caught as a stand-in) and they may be handing over. If the new soul is brought in, won't the old soul be replaced by the insurgation of the old soul? In fact, in the underworld punishment, the King of Hell is very disgusted with people who do not cherish their lives and deliberately commit suicide. Even if he does not do evil in his life, he generally does not want to agree to let them reincarn immediately, but wait for someone with the same suicide experience before allowing him to be reincarnated. This may be a long process, so some ghosts who die lightly will use some bad means to make some people lose their minds and commit suicide! It's the ghost borrowed from the front to find a stand-in.

In addition, those who die from thunder are all sinful people, and those who are burned to death by fire are often incomplete, which can't be chased. In fact, this is also understandable. According to Tantra, there are two kinds of people who do not have a yin body (the transitional period of death). One is a great good man whose soul immediately ascends to heaven and is included in the fairy class. The second is the great villain. His soul falls straight into the 18th floor of hell and suffers from all kinds of sufferings. Most of the people who die are evil in the past, so there is nothing the caster can do.
