Chapter 51 Chapter 10 The Phantom of the Hanging Coffin: True or False 1

At dawn, when the rooster crowed three times, we got up, drove Qiu Sha's dead body out of Liye City, and headed towards the hometown of Laifeng Qiusha in Hubei while there was no one on the street. We keep going north, and then north.When we reached Beiziyan in Bamian Mountain, the morning mist had not yet dissipated. Along the way, blue and white porcelain bowls and fragments were constantly found. I didn't pay attention at first. When the ghost cub picked up a water bowl to play with, I stroked it carefully.Judging from the firing process and painting techniques of the blue and white porcelain bowl, it should be porcelain from the Ming Dynasty.

I wonder why there are so many pieces of blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty here?Could it be that this place used to be a prosperous commercial road?Or is it a post road? It didn't take long before they came to a rocky cliff. As they got closer to the rock, the blue and white fragments grew more and more. I once heard Mr. Private School say that there are traces of alien activities in Longshan area. Could it be that this is where they live together? As I was meditating, I suddenly heard a strange cry from the ghost cub. My heart tightened and I reminded Tian Gudao to pay attention to the surrounding environment in case of accidents.

"Xiu Cai, look quickly, there are many coffins hanging on the hanging rock!" Tian Gudao cried out in surprise. I looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, the cliff in front was narrow and long, with strange peaks on the east and west sides, and between the steep caves, many coffins were half-hanging the cliff, looming in the mist, looking strange. I took a closer look and found that there are different ways to hang these hanging coffins, and there are no more than three types: one is to drill holes and insert piles on the cliff to shelter from the wind; The first hole is to put the coffin inside; the third is to use the natural cracks or caves in the rock wall to put the coffin inside.

Looking closer, it is surprising that there are many red painted murals on the rock wall where the hanging coffin is placed, with rich content, rough lines, concise composition, lifelike images, and a strong alien style. Some of these hanging coffins are tens of feet above the ground, and generally more than five feet.I counted, and there are more than twenty hanging coffins. At this time, apart from feeling weird, I also had an additional worry: these hanging coffins won’t do anything wrong! "Xiucai, I think it might be Bo people! When I was young, I heard from the elders that a group of aliens migrated from Yunnan, and they fled here to hide in order to avoid the bloodbath of the imperial court."

The Bo people are an ancient nation that lived in the Yunnan-Guizhou area in the pre-Qin period.According to historical records, during the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court attacked the Bo people several times. Although the Ming Dynasty had strong soldiers and excellent weapons, they did not take advantage of the Bo people in several battles. At that time, the Ming Dynasty mobilized troops from the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan to surround the villages of the Bo people. Tens of thousands of Bo people faced two choices: either fight to the death with an enemy ten times larger than themselves, and place the coffins of their ancestors here; or He accepted the Ming army's recruitment and chose to surrender in humiliation.

Legend has it that there was a lot of controversy among the Bo people.At that time, most of the cottages with nearly a thousand Bo people chose to surrender to the court.Others emigrated and lived in seclusion ever since. Is this the site of the ancient tribe of the Bo people who lived in seclusion?Or are there still descendants of the Bo people living here?How were these coffins put up?Who was buried inside?What is the nationality of the deceased?Why is the burial method different from other places in Chenzhou and Yongshun Prefecture? Tian Gudao asked why several times. In fact, Tian Gudao's doubts are exactly what I want to know.However, Tian Gudao and I did not argue about why.

"It doesn't matter whether the people here are Bo people or not. Let's leave it to those who are engaged in antiquities and research. We are exorcising corpses, so we don't care about it." I looked around again, and saw that the mountains here are steep, and the local people built camps and villages on the cliffs, forming a natural danger that one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.Insinuated by Tian Gudao that this is the hermitage of the Bo people, overlooking the mountains, you can vaguely imagine the scene of swords and swords in the past.It is not easy to build fortifications based on this location, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, it is not easy to attack the generals.

"Pay attention to the surrounding situation. Why do I feel weird here? There won't be anything weird, right?" At this time, the ghost cub made a strange cry again. "No, there are ghosts!" Tian Gudao suddenly exclaimed. I followed his line of sight, only to see a figure appearing and disappearing at a hanging coffin among the cliffs of the mountain. Ghosts are the souls of people after death. Those who die normally will not come out to cause trouble. Only those who die uncleanly will become evil ghosts.For example, in the eyes of the Miao people, if a person dies suddenly or violently due to an accident, it is said that the death was not "clean", and such a dead person cannot be buried with the ancestral grave.Even if it is a normal death, before the burial, the family must ask the mage to cast spells. The most important thing is to ask the mage to open the way for the dead, otherwise the dead will not be able to reach the ancestors' residence and live with them.The mage must enumerate the deeds of the deceased's life, and then guide the deceased through thirty-two thorny roads, so that the soul of the dead can return to the place where the ancestors lived together.

"Brother, could it be that the zombie in the hanging coffin came out to look for food?" "It shouldn't be such a coincidence!" "Zombies are usually active at night, it's still morning, how can there be zombies?" "There are also zombies who are not afraid of the sun. My grandfather told a story about zombies..." The story of zombies is not uncommon in Chenzhou and other places. Among them, there is such a widely circulated one: it roughly says that in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a small village on the back of the mountain. He was rescued by an old man, but because he did something wrong again, he was beaten up by the whole village, and then he was thrown into the grass in the back mountain to fend for himself.A few days later, he called for help again, but this time no one was willing to help him.The villagers beat him up and tied him to a tree. Although some people tried to dissuade him, no one paid any attention.In the end he died on a tree, and the villagers tried to bury him at night, but found that the body was missing.In the end, he came back and killed the whole village. The villagers were bitten and turned into zombies one by one. Some villagers who left in time also turned into zombies when they returned to visit the village in the morning.

"Grandma, pickle, did you really meet a zombie?" Tian Gudao scolded. "I think the feng shui here is unique. If the corpses in the hanging coffins on the cliffs are not rotted for a long time, and the environment here is quiet, it is a good place to raise corpses. A corpse placed in the dark has energy or is close to life. place, the corpse will absorb energy, or absorb yang energy, and transform into a dead body by being angry. Even if the corpse is buried for a hundred years, the muscles and hair will not rot, and the hair and nails of the corpse will continue to grow, thus Become a zombie."

If a zombie is found, it must be dealt with very early, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!Because after being transformed, the zombie becomes a living dead who has no thinking, no self-control, and can only kill and drink blood. "Look, that shadow entered the coffin just now!" Tian Gudao exclaimed, but he didn't dare to speak loudly. "Could it be that the zombies went back to the coffin to recuperate when they saw the morning light after foraging for food?" "Definitely! Zombies usually come out at night and disappear before dawn." "We have to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, so as not to be entangled by these zombies and have to deal with it, which is time-consuming and laborious." So, we pulled apart and moved forward.Tian Gudao urged him to go quickly behind him. We keep going in, but it feels like we are going deeper and deeper, and it seems that there is no end. Most of the trails here are narrow paths, with either rocky cliffs or abysses on both sides.The road that can be walked is very narrow, which can only accommodate one person, and the roadside is mostly short grass and shrubs. Because of this, we dare not walk too fast, for fear that if there is a slight mistake, the dead body will fall into the abyss. We climbed up the steps, came to a turning point, crossed the small slope of the stone steps, and prepared to take a short rest. "KuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukuuuuuuuuuuThe sound of the gong seemed particularly eerie and tragic in this inaccessible mountainous place. We looked forward subconsciously, and saw two shadows walking towards us, one in front and one behind. "Not good! It's also for chasing corpses. Grandma is a kimchi. I ran into him in this ghost place. I don't know if it's a brother from our Liu faction." Tian Gudao cursed. The corpse hunters are extremely reluctant to meet other corpse chasers on the road, especially the oncoming corpse gang. There is a customary rule in the corpse exorcism business. If two teams of corpse exorcists meet head-on, the exorcist with low spells must take the initiative to let the exorcist with high spells go first. If the person you meet is a disciple of the same sect, it is relatively easy to handle. Generally, the order of entering the teacher or seniority determines the order of giving way.If you are acquainted, it is more casual.In any case, the meeting of the same faction will never cause conflict. If the two teams of morticians who meet are not from the same sect, there will often be some conflicts, because no one is willing to admit that their spells are lower than the other's. Laughing butt, ridiculed by others. In this case, it is generally resolved in the form of fighting.After the determination of the level of spells, the party with low spells had no choice but to admit that they were unlucky, and they had to bow their heads to get out of the way even if their skills were inferior. "Zhangtai is hidden from view, and Ying Road is even more uneven. It is said that it is very romantic, and when it comes to be graceful. The bridge is about to be broken, and the embankment is far away. The flowers are like snow, and the brothel is fluttering the wine flag." Tian Gudao recited loudly , This is the poem and prose code for the disciples of my Liu School to recognize each other as masters. Tian Gudao's poems were loud and clear, and after a long while, there was no response from the person coming from the opposite side.It seems that the other party is not my Liumen disciple. Tian Gudao was not reconciled, and continued to read Qizi: "The willows are green and green, and the flowers are flying in the sky. Whose jade flute is the most soul-inspiring, and I am happy on the road of Yin and Yang..." When people in the rivers and lakes and corpse exorcisers hear such a deed, they will know that they are disciples of the Liumen exorcism corpse.Because the Liu faction is quite prestigious in the Jianghu, many exorcising corpse sects will take the initiative to give way when they hear such a contract, to show their respect for the Liu faction. After another period of waiting, the person coming from the opposite side still did not respond, but the footsteps did not stop and came straight towards us. "Grandma, kimchi, these two guys are better than our Liupai, it seems that they have a bit of magic, otherwise they dare to be so presumptuous!" Tian Gudao said to me. "Whoever comes is not good, and those who are kind don't come! Be prepared to deal with it!" I issued an order. I saw the other party getting closer and closer, and finally a figure emerged from the mist. There are only two figures on the other side, short and thin, one in front and one behind, the one in the front is wearing a brown hat, and the one in the back is wearing a robe.One can tell at a glance that among the two people, the one walking behind is the mortician, and the one in front is a dead body. I was a little depressed at the moment. The other party, a sorcerer, dared to challenge us three living people.Could it be an ancestor of a certain sect?Or an expert with unique skills?There is no room for us to think too much, the other party is already approaching. "Brother, I think we can subdue the opponent by using the quick corpse walking technique we just cracked, and make him turn pale with fright and have to obey." Tian Gudao suggested. I think it's a good idea, no need to cast other spells. So, according to our unique technique, we pressed pine nuts on the dovetail point of the dead body, and then cast a spell.I saw the dead body suddenly speed up and go straight to the opposite side. "Let's wait and see the good show!" Tian Gudao said with full expectation. At this time, the distance between the two teams was less than ten feet.Seeing the fast oncoming dead body, the other party seemed a little surprised and hesitated, and saw the mage behind groping around the dead body for a while. The corpses we drive are moving even faster! "Impossible..." Tian Gudao, who was full of confidence just now, was stunned. I too was taken aback.Could it be that the corpse fast movement technique that has never been cracked has already been deciphered? ! I didn't allow me to think about it. After a while, the two dead bodies met on the road. Because the speed of the two bodies was too fast, the moment the two bodies collided, each bounced a small step, and then came together again, unable to stop. move! The two dead bodies met face to face, close to each other, as if no one would let the other go.Qiu Sha's body was one head taller than the opponent's dead body.Between the mountains and fields, the encounter of two corpses on a narrow road is probably a bit of a legend. "Hurry up and recite the mantra of resurrection! Knock down the opponent's dead body!" I shouted. So, Tian Gudao and I recited the incantation together.The resurrection spell can make the dead body exert strength in an instant. This kind of explosive power is very aggressive. Although it does not need to be cast through hands and feet, it can penetrate the target through the body and has a strong internal force. The mage on the opposite side was not in a hurry when he saw us chanting the incantation, he seemed to be secretly lucky, then suddenly raised his hands, and slapped the dead body he was escorting. Sha's body was pushed to the ground. With a plop, Qiu Sha's body fell to the back of his head.The opponent's dead body stepped on Qiu Sha's body and walked over.Then he walked towards us quickly, and the mage behind him also trotted closely to keep up.I was shocked by Wada! When the body passed us, we couldn't help but make way for it without even thinking about it. At the moment when they passed each other, Tian Gudao stretched out his right foot, trying to trip the dead body, but the dead body suddenly lifted his leg, as if to avoid it, Tian Gudao's plot failed.After the mage at the back turned around, he tapped the gong in his hand, as if reminding the passers-by in front, and also as a demonstration to us. "Grandma, pickle, which sect is this? Why are you so awesome!" Tian Gudao and I helped Qiu Sha's body up, very unconvinced, "I don't believe in evil, let's catch up and find out what happened behind .” We settled the body and turned back. I saw that the mage was resting in a slightly wider place, and the right side of this place happened to be the hanging coffin.Tian Gudao asked me to perform the different corpse technique again, and then compare myself with the other party. In fact, I was not convinced in my heart, so I followed him.I broke off a branch from a tree on the side of the road, then cast a spell, and then threw the branch into the air, turning into a dog and suddenly running towards the other party's body. The corpse chasers are most afraid of dogs.Because once the corpse is bitten by a dog, it will change and it will be difficult to move forward. However, the sorcerer seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and had already sat the corpse against the rock wall. The top of the rock was a high hanging coffin. Then the sorcerer closed his eyes slightly, looking indifferent.When the dog was about to get close, he suddenly raised his right hand and threw out a mahogany sword. The dog immediately showed its original shape, turned into a branch and fell to the ground. I saw that this technique was broken by him, and I was thinking of a ruthless move. Suddenly, a rope slid down from the top of the corpse leaning against the stone wall, and a strangely dressed black figure was sliding down the rope. When the black shadow saw a dead body leaning against it, it paused for a moment. At this moment, the mage also saw the black shadow sliding down, was startled, and was about to remove the body. The mage and the black shadow looked at each other for a moment, and the black shadow continued to slide down and landed behind the dead body. It tightly grabbed the dead body's neck with both hands, and then opened its mouth to sniff at the dead body's neck. The mage wanted to pull the dead body to avoid it, but he didn't have time.When we took a closer look, we realized something was wrong! That black shadow turned out to be a person, but his face was pale, without a trace of blood, and his eyes were dull. Judging from his clothes, it seemed to be the zombie we saw crawling into the hanging coffin earlier! "Zombie!" Tian Gudao and I exclaimed almost at the same time, trying to remind the other party to avoid. The sorcerer turned a deaf ear, stepped forward, and slapped the zombie. "Grandma, pickle, it seems that this mortician does have two brushes, and he dares to slap a zombie!" Tian Gudao couldn't help but let out an admiration. The zombie was taken aback for a moment, probably surprised that someone was not afraid of him.To throw off the dead body in his hand and rush towards the mortician... What is surprising is that the head of the dead body that was strangled by the zombie just now turned from side to side. Could it be that the dead body also turned into a zombie after being harassed by the zombies? I couldn't help but fight a cold war. What surprised us even more was that the dead body actually shouted at us: "Leng Yicai, Tian Gudao, you two bastards, are you still playing for real?" Tian Gudao and I looked at each other, how did this dead body know our names?After the voice was repeated once, we realized that it was Wang Erya's voice! It's really evil, I'm afraid I encountered a ghost today. At this time, the zombie had already grabbed the mortician by the neck, the mortician stuck out his long tongue, and his feet kept struggling and shaking. "Bastards, hurry up and let our lady go! You want our lives!" Erya Wang yelled at us. It turned out that she thought that the zombie was caused by our spellcasting!And the so-called exorcist turned out to be played by Tian Xiaomei!Oh my god!They thought that the zombie was transformed by our magic. "That's the zombie in the hanging coffin on the cliff, not our person, nor our magic!" I hurriedly told them the truth. When Wang Erya heard this, she untied the hat and robe she was wearing, and threw them aside, only to see her complexion changed drastically.Tian Xiaomei also lost her former composure, with a look of fear and despair on her face. "Quick, save our lady!" After Wang Erya yelled, we woke up like a dream, and we took the magic weapon and went towards the zombie. Zombies are different from normal dead bodies.They are born from the collection of resentment, bad luck and aura from the world.Immortal, immortal, immortal, abandoned by the three realms of heaven, earth and man outside the six realms of sentient beings, wandering and homeless.The body is stiff, and in the world, it uses resentment as its strength and blood as its food.Because of this, the wandering soul of the dead body can also be reincarnated if the chance coincides.Zombies, on the other hand, are free from the three realms and six realms of heaven, earth and man, and cannot be transcended forever. Therefore, dealing with zombies is not the same as dealing with dead bodies.There are several common ways to deal with zombies. The first way is to dissolve its resentment, which can make it lose its power, because zombies use resentment as power in the world.To resolve their grievances, take seventy-seven forty-nine grains of bodhi seeds, string them into Buddhist beads made of heather rattan that can ward off evil and eliminate filth, and hang them around the zombie's neck to subdue them. The second method is to use seven jujube stones and nail them into the back acupuncture point of the corpse, which can make it lose its attack power. The third method is the ultimate method of extermination, that is, burning.Set it on fire, and the zombie will make a tsk-tsk sound, blood rushes to the bones, and finally falls to the ground and melts. Judging from the current situation, the first two methods cannot be implemented because there are no props. If you want to subdue the zombies, you can only use fire attack. So, I asked Tian Gudao to take a fire sickle to light the fire, and I took a tiger-tooth ruler to attack its head. The ghost cub picked up a sharp branch from the ground, jumped onto its back, and inserted it through its ear hole. The zombie screamed.The flames ignited from the waist of the robe, but the zombie still clung to Tian Xiaomei tightly. When I was anxious, I hit the back of the zombie's head with a ruler, and the zombie's head bounced, let go of his hands, and wobbled , Struggling, ran towards a stream on the edge of the cliff. I and Tian Gudao picked up the mahogany sword and chased after him, trying to stab the zombie in the back. The creek was two feet high from the cliff, the zombie hesitated for a moment, but jumped down resolutely. "Plop..." I saw a burst of high waves below, and the zombie was washed down by the current. "Xiucai, that zombie won't go ashore downstream and harm others, right?" Tian Gudao was a little worried. "No, the zombie has been injured by the fire, the meridian in the body has been cut off, the resentment cannot accumulate in the body, and it will not live long before it will automatically shatter..." We turned around and found that Tian Xiaomei was still in shock, and Wang Erya kept comforting her. We walked up, and Tian Xiaomei grabbed my sleeve, with a look of lingering fear, for fear that there would be harassment from zombies again. I and Tian Gudao comforted the two women for no reason.It wasn't until their emotions stabilized a little that they knew the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that after Tian Xiaomei and Wang Erya received our money, they came to the studio to express their thanks the next day. After knocking on the door for a long time, the building was empty. Now that they have silver in their hands, they don't need to go to Duocuilou to perform.I wanted to go back to my hometown in Fenghuang, but since I have been unable to find relatives here, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay the errand when I go back. I feel empty in my heart. I don’t have many acquaintances in Liye. It was very exciting and fun, so they quickly followed us. Because I saw us chasing corpses all the way and learned some fur, I dressed up as corpses to tease us.But he didn't expect a zombie to be killed halfway, he was frightened and hurt his vitality. I see!Our previous confusion has also been resolved. "Xiucai, the zombie strangled both of our necks just now, wouldn't there be any accidents?" Tian Xiaomei was still worried about being strangled by the zombie. I looked at the necks of the two, and there was no broken skin. "No, a living person will only become a zombie if he is bitten by a zombie. Otherwise, there will be no problem." Only then did the two women feel relieved. "You two are too wicked, it made us feel hairy, thinking to ourselves, how can there be such a powerful mortician, and our status in the world will be ruined like this..." Tian Gudao regained his instinct for laughter. "Haha, actually, when I met the dead body, my heart was pounding, but Miss asked me to force myself to be calm." Wang Erya took over the conversation. "I was also very surprised at the time, why the spell that I had never missed before failed..." I interjected. "Your spell works on dead bodies, but of course it doesn't work on living people. Why didn't you think of this? You're so stupid." Tian Xiaomei also returned to her normal state, "Hehe, your spells are useless. You really play the piano against cows. I Let me tell you a story about a Taoist priest fighting. It is said that a wandering Taoist priest encountered a dark monster at night. He stood up quickly, chanted something, stretched out his hand, and shouted: "Fall! However, the monster in front did not fall down. The Taoist chanted again. Shouting: "Fall! The monster in front is still standing. The Taoist is still reciting the ghost talisman, shouting again and again: "Fall! Fall! Fall! It was not until dawn in the east that he saw clearly that there was a pole standing in front of him. He swept it over with his feet, rang the Dharma bell, and chanted the incantation to exorcise ghosts and circled along the pole. At this time, a farmer came to pick up manure. Seeing the strange appearance of this Taoist priest, he was very surprised and said: What are you doing? It's a dung spoon I put in here!" "Haha...hahaha..." Several people laughed out loud. "I think you are just like that stupid Taoist..." Wang Erya satirized us gloatingly.
