Chapter 43 Chapter 43: Chasing the Corpse Alone

After studying in the provincial capital, Wei Ning heard for the first time that there was still a "winter and summer vacation". This must have come from the Western side.Wei Ning had nothing to do during the holidays, so he simply came to Wang Tuozi as in previous years, and learned Zhu You Taoism from Wang Tuozi.Another month later, after Wei Ning finished his evening class, Wang Tuozi called Wei Ning over. Wang Tuozi looked solemn, which was quite different from his usual cynicism. "Xiao Weizi, you have been here for some years. For several years, you have never paid tuition fees. Since you have attracted me a lot of business, I am too lazy to ask for it. But now, when it is time we should say It's time to say goodbye."

Wei Ning was confused and said, "Master, what's wrong?" "As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual. I have taught all the 36 kinds of kung fu for removing corpses. Now it's time to test whether you have been lazy after all these years." "what?" Wang Tuozi said: "In our Zhuyou school, there is a saying that apprentices have passed three tests. Only after passing these three tests can you become an apprentice. The tests are the sense of direction, strength and courage. I believe that these three tests are very important for you. There should be no problem, so I don't bother to test you, now I have the last test, if you pass this test, you can officially become a teacher. I have nothing to teach you."

"Master, what do you want to test me for?" "Welcome God! And go alone. No matter what happens to you on the way, I will not intervene. This is the rule of our business. You can only be regarded as a teacher if you walk once by your own ability. .If you fail, it’s because you don’t have the ability. It’s not because Wang Chuyi didn’t teach you well. It’s because you are not qualified to be my Wang Chuyi’s apprentice, so you don’t have to see me again. Besides, I have my own private affairs Let’s do it, if we are destined, we may meet again in the future.” "Master..." Hearing that Wang Tuozi was going to say goodbye to him, Wei Ning hurriedly said.

Wang Tuozi waved his hand and stopped: "That's it, and, from today on, you can't say you know me, Wang Chuyi, let alone tell others that I'm your master." "Why?" Wei Ning was confused by Wang Tuozi. "That's it. It's getting late. I'm going to bed. You will go to work with me tomorrow." The next day, Wang Tuozi took Wei Ning out to a densely populated area and found a big tree.Wang Tuozi took out a piece of crumpled yellow paper, and wrote a few words crookedly on the paper: "Baoyao dead people cross the province".After posting it, I went back with Wei Ning.

After a few days, there was no news, until one day, Wang Tuozi came back from outside, called Wei Ning to stop, and said, "We have a business." The solicitor was an old lady in her 60s, surnamed Li.A few days ago, her wife passed away, and she died without a cause after living in her 80s, which can be regarded as a "happy burial".It's just that the couple originally came from Changde, but unfortunately they have stayed in Xiangxi for more than 20 years. Her wife's only wish before his death was to be buried in his hometown.The old lady's sons all advocated asking someone to send the coffin back, but the old lady believed in Mr. Kicking Foot, saying that if only the coffin was transported back, only the corpse could be transported back. The soul is still in Xiangxi, and only Mr. Kicking Foot can Bring Hun'er back too.The sons did not dare to disobey the old lady's wishes, and they inquired about Mr. Huo Zuo everywhere, and finally found Wang Tuozi's small piece of paper under the tree, so they found Wang Tuozi and asked him to take a trip on his behalf.

After Wang Tuozi negotiated the price with the old lady's sons, and declared that his apprentice would preside over the meeting, the old lady said: "Sir, if it was you, I can trust you, but this child, he can do it." ?" Wang Tuozi naturally flattered Wei Ning, and the old lady looked left and right at Wei Ning and said, "But I heard that Mr. Huo Zuo must be older and more...cough, just Is it suitable for a child like you who looks so handsome?" Wang Tuozi narrowed his small eyes and said: "Now there is a lot of chaos everywhere, which parent will let their children learn our profession, and it will be good if they can receive apprentices. Don't care about looks! Our profession is not as good as once a year. It's been a year." After speaking, he sighed and sighed again.Finally, he said: "Don't worry, I will take care of it." The old lady reluctantly agreed.Only then did the sons pull Wang Tuozi out, and it was another bargain.

Because of the method of the gentleman who drove the corpse, no one was allowed to be around. After Wei Ning cleared the scene, he applied Zhu You's special potion on the old man's body to ensure the firmness of the corpse, and then used cinnabar to put the god of joy on his body. The seven orifices are carefully sealed to ensure that the God of Joy cannot get angry through the seven orifices.He took out incense candles and paper money to pay homage, and pasted a piece of yellow paper on the forehead of Xishen. According to the "resurrection skill" given to him by Wang Tuozi, he shouted loudly: "Congratulations, please get up!" The corpse The hands were slowly raised flat, forming a 90-degree angle with the body.Wei Ning used this trick for the first time, and when he saw it was effective, he was secretly delighted, waved the soul-calling flag in his hand, and shouted: "The sky must be harvested, the earth must be kept, east to west and east to east, the dead are turned into gold bricks, gold Put the bricks in my cabinet. Let's go!"

Xishen got up straight from the bed, Wei Ning waved the banner, and Xishen was standing straight behind Wei Ning.Wei Ning threw paper money to the sky, saying: "The yin people borrow the way, and the yang people avoid it." He took the lead and walked forward.Xishen followed behind him step by step. In this resurrection technique, every movement and every incantation cannot be wronged, and even every step taken is particular about the distance.Xishen has no perception ability, he walks forward completely according to the guidance of the soul-calling flag, and under the feet of the corpse chaser, there is a "yin spot" every three steps, and Xishen has to step on it every time he jumps. On the yin point, otherwise you will encounter the evil spirit of yang, and there are rules for the scattering of paper money, where it is scattered and where it is collected. Leading to the separation of Xishen's soul.Where to go, where to hit the tip, where to stay, when to get up, when to chant mantras, and when to chant righteous songs are all particular, so Wei Ning, who is rushing for the first time, is a little nervous and afraid. The god of joy is gone.

According to the route given by Wang Tuozi, Wei Ning chose deserted country roads.After walking all night, the sky began to gradually brighten, and Wei Ning knew that it was time to enter the Xishen Inn. "I don't know if there are still people in the Xishen Inn here. I hope it will be the same as Guanzhuang." Thinking of Guanzhuang and his grandfather at that time, Wei Ning felt melancholy again. According to the address of the Xishen Inn left by Wang Tuozi, Wei Ning quickly found the Xishen Inn here.Like Guanzhuang, the Xishen Inn here is also dilapidated, but the mottled vermilion lacquer door panel seems to indicate its prosperity in the past and the decline of Zhu Youyi's current population.

According to the rules, Wei Ning waved his soul-calling flag, walked forward, cleared his throat, and said: "The sky will not be taken away, the land will not be kept, and you will come and go and return the east. I borrowed your store today, and the gold bricks will be in your cabinet." middle." Not long after, an old voice in the house said: "The sky must be reclaimed, and the earth must be kept. Going from east to west and returning to the east, the dead will be turned into gold bricks, and the gold bricks will be put into my cabinet." Wei Ning was overjoyed, and met the people in the room, and the people in the room opened the door. It was an old lady with white hair. Seeing Wei Ning, she was a little surprised, and said: "I am an old man, but I don't know there is such a handsome young man who is rushing, I'm tired from walking all night, come in."

Wei Ning thanked the old lady first, followed the rules to invite the god of happiness into the closet, and then lit a home-seeking lamp, using exactly the technique he wanted to learn the most back then, but unfortunately Wei Qiuxi didn't have the opportunity to teach him in person. Wei Ning chatted with the old lady.There was no light in this room. The old lady lit a tung oil lamp, and the whole room shone with a strange light. Suddenly, Wei Ning frowned and said, "No, grandma, there are strangers in your room." The old lady said: "Impossible. Since my wife passed away, no one has visited my door for nearly ten years. How is it possible?" Wei Ning said: "I smelled angry. The Xishen Inn can only accommodate Xishen, you should be clear about this." At this time, a gust of drafts blew past, blowing the Chenzhou Talisman on Xishen's face rattling.Wei Ning always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
