Chapter 9 The first quarter encountered a dead body

I saw Xu Qiuyuan holding a mahogany sword in his hand, dancing vigorously, and from time to time he would silently say: "Your body is not your own body, and your body is not a jade body. The fire burns this body, and this body will be reborn..." Nong Fan couldn't stop laughing at this. Zhang Xiaoluo once told him that in fact, sword dancing and formulas often don't work and are used to bluff people.Removing the corpse was much more difficult than imagined. Seeing Xu Qiuyuan screaming and dancing like crazy for the first time, Nong Fan almost couldn't help laughing out several times.When Xu Qiuyuan stopped, he straightened his face and knew that the real kung fu had come.

Xu Qiuyuan touched the cinnabar on his fingers and walked quickly to the corpse. At this moment, he didn't know what he was holding back, but his face was flushed red.After a while, he nodded to the forehead of the corpse, leaving a little cinnabar mark on the forehead of the corpse, and then did the same for the other two corpses. Although Nong Fan didn't know what Xu Qiuyuan was doing, but the moment Xu Qiuyuan tapped it, he seemed to see a layer of golden-red light emerging from Xu Qiuyuan's fingers.Nong Fan self-understands that it is impossible for a person to shine, he should be dazzled.

After leaving three cinnabar marks on the foreheads of the three corpses, Xu Qiuyuan returned to the altar and took out three pieces of yellow paper with the deceased's birth date, date of death, name, and gender written on them. A piece of yellow paper suddenly stood up.After the yellow paper was burned to ashes, Xu Qiuyuan drew a talisman with a cinnabar brush and wrapped the ashes.Then put it in your arms.Then he picked up the mahogany sword again, and started dancing wildly with ghost screams. Nong Fan was dumbfounded, he knew that Xu Qiuyuan had already done the trick before the ghost screamed, although he didn't know what he did, but it was too easy to lift up the corpse with just a few movements.

Sure enough, after Xu Qiuyuan danced wildly for a while, he suddenly picked up the calling bell and rang it non-stop, pointed at the corpse with a mahogany sword in one hand, and slowly raised his voice, and shouted: "Get up." The corpse lying on the birthday bed suddenly stood up. Although Nong Fan knew that the corpse would stand up, he was still startled.It's incredible that the mysterious exorcism is so simple. Seeing that Nong Fan was in a daze, Xu Qiuyuan said: "Okay, go and tell them. Although this corpse seems simple, it's because you didn't learn the secrets in it. You will think so when you learn it in the future." I know how hard it is."

Nong Fan was dubious, walked to the door and yelled. Several relatives were waiting outside, when they suddenly heard a shout from inside the house: "The Immortal is on his way, and the relatives will accompany him..." After the door opened, Xu Qiuyuan was in front, wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a small black box hanging on his chest, holding a soul-destroying bell, shaking it as he walked.Behind them were three corpses with a talisman on their foreheads, and they followed with their eyes closed.The last one was Nong Fan, holding a wad of paper money and throwing paper money into the sky every time he yelled, "The immortal is on his way, and his relatives will send him off."On the surface, it looks similar, but he is very happy in his heart: "It's fun."

When the woman saw her man walking in front, her heart ached and she began to cry. The rich people here invited some mourners, and when Xu Qiuyuan came out with the corpse, they also cried loudly. The bandits on the other side were dumbfounded. These people are strong men who bleed without shedding tears. Some people have forgotten about crying, so there is silence among these people.The boss looked at it and thought that this face should not be lost. Everyone was crying to see off their relatives, but he didn't even make a fart sound.Thinking of this, he yelled angrily: "Cry for me, anyone who doesn't cry, I'll kill him."

When the bandits saw that the leader was angry, they had no choice but to cry. Immediately, ghosts and wolves were crying for their fathers and mothers. The voices of this group were rough and loud, and they were crying everywhere. The scene was even worse than the death of their own father.With these messy howls of ghosts and wolves, many children in Maozi Village were frightened awake. The cries of these bandits didn't stop until they sent nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.After everyone left, the master and the apprentice looked at each other, and suddenly burst out laughing, these nine hundred and ninety-nine steps suffocated them, although it was rude, but they couldn't help the teasing of the bandits .

After laughing, Nong Fan looked at the three corpses and said, "Master, can I chase them away?" Xu Qiuyuan nodded: "Alright, let you gain experience. Put this on your body, and these corpses will follow you." As he said, he took out a talisman wrapped in ashes from his pocket. Nong Fan took the talisman and put it in his arms, and walked in front of the corpse, leading the corpse every ten steps and shouting: "The gods go on the road, all living beings stay away." His first exorcism began like this. Maozilin was originally unnamed, about the size of a township. Legend has it that there is an ancient tomb in it. No one knows when the ancient tomb was built, but it is the tomb of a general of a certain dynasty.I don't know when, people who passed by Maozilin said that they saw a large group of wild cats living around the ancient tomb.In the middle of the night, a group of cats howled, which was creepy, so it was called Maozilin.

As soon as he entered the Maozilin, Nong Fan felt a little nervous in his heart. He felt that this place was very unsettled. Unlike the "Mass Burial Mound", it seemed that there was a little less death but a little more weirdness here. The moonlight in the sky is bright, and although the leaves above the head are lush, they cannot block the full moonlight. What scares Nongfan is that he has been in Maozilin for so long but can’t hear the sound of any animals. Everything is inexplicably and eerily quiet. He whispered to Xu Qiuyuan: "Master, there is something wrong here, are there any ghosts?"

Xu Qiuyuan also noticed the abnormality, inspected the surroundings, but found nothing strange, and said, "With me here, what are you afraid of?" Nong Fan had no choice but to continue walking, and the more he walked, the more he felt nervous. There was something really wrong with this forest. After walking for a long time, he couldn't see half a bird or beast, and even the flying reptiles seemed to have disappeared.Nong Fan stopped and said, "Master, you should come, I will protect the corpse." Xu Qiuyuan also felt a little strange in his heart, for the sake of safety, he nodded and took it.

The deeper the two went into Maozilin, the more uncomfortable they felt. There seemed to be a strange smell in the air in the woods, and the smell became stronger as they went deeper.Nong Fan sniffed hard, and it seemed to be the fragrance of flowers, and when he sniffed again, there was a faint smell of rotten leaves in the fragrance of flowers. Just when he was confused, strange noises came from deep in the woods, and the master and apprentice couldn't help but secretly became vigilant. When expelling corpses at night, only a small oil lamp can be lit to illuminate them. The small oil lamp is placed in a black box.Of course, not all morticians do this, it's just the rules of Tianguanmen. Nong Fan walked beside the corpse, but he didn't dare to follow the corpse, because he was afraid that he would be captured suddenly by some monster, Xu Qiuyuan didn't know.As he went deeper into the woods, he became more and more frightened, looking left and right for a while, for fear that something would rush out of the woods suddenly.Looking at the jumping corpses, he thought to himself: Although the three missing souls can only make the corpses jump, it is also scary. If it was in the past, he would not be scared to death by these four corpses?Thinking of this, he froze for a moment, his heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and cold sweat broke out uncontrollably. He stuttered in fright: "Four... Master... Four... Master... Four four four..." Xu Qiuyuan was vigilant about his surroundings, when he suddenly heard Nong Fan's slurred speech, he asked impatiently, "What's the matter? Don't hesitate." Finally, Nong Fan calmed down, and he ran towards Xu Qiuyuan suddenly, yelling strangely: "Master...there is one more behind!" Xu Qiuyuan was shocked when he heard the words, and when he looked back, there really was a dark shadow behind the corpses.Xu Qiuyuan couldn't help yelling angrily: "Bold evildoer." Shouting, he took out a few yellow talismans from his bosom, kicked his feet, and threw himself at the shadow. Seeing that something was wrong, the black shadow hurriedly dodged into the nearby bushes before Xu Qiuyuan pounced on him, and disappeared into the darkness. Xu Qiuyuan threw the small oil lamp to Nong Fan, and then chased after him. His voice came from the darkness: "Xiao Fan, take care of the corpse." Things changed so quickly that Nong Fan couldn't react, and when he came back to his senses, the situation in front of him made him dumbfounded.The paper talisman that can manipulate the corpses is on Xu Qiuyuan's body, and the three corpses are no longer under his control.He could only stand blankly with the three corpses.To make matters worse, after Xu Qiuyuan left, his courage also fell to the bottom. Looking at the several corpses that were only a few meters away from him, Nong Fan never dared to approach him, even taking a step.He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said to the corpses: "Brothers, you will return to your hometown soon, and your last wish will be fulfilled. Then we should live in harmony and don't lose our temper, okay?" After a pause, he continued: "It can be seen that the brothers are also law-abiding people, so they won't embarrass the little brother, right?" As he spoke, he didn't dare to take his eyes off the corpses. After waiting for a long time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the corpses were still the same. At this moment, a strange cry of "meow" came from the dark bush nearby. Nong Fan was almost scared to death, and then he realized that it was a cat meowing. This is the first time that there are signs of animal activity after entering this forest. Out of curiosity, Nong Fan raised a lamp to shine it, but there was nothing in the dim light.Before Nong Fan could remove the light, the same cat meowing sounded again and again in the woods. Nong Fan, who thought he was infested by wild cats, couldn't help being more courageous, thinking to himself: "Scare me? I'm afraid of many things, but I'm not afraid of cats." Thinking, he picked up a small stone on the ground and moved it towards the place where the sound came. Throw it away. After the stone was thrown, the woods returned to silence. Nong Fan laughed loudly: "Dare to scare me? I'll break your cat's legs to see if you dare." As soon as he finished speaking, more strange screams sounded at the same time: " Meow, eh..." This time the meowing seemed to come from all directions, Nong Fan was very annoyed, picked up some small stones, threw them into the woods, and cursed: "I'm calling you, it's noisy in the middle of the night You are dead, look at the uncle, I will destroy you." After the smashing, the surrounding area became calm again, and Nong Fan thought to himself: Are you scared away?Strange, where do so many wild cats come from? But just when he was still suspicious, a meow of "meow" sounded.Nong Fan's heart skipped a beat, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, because this time the voice came from behind him, the voice was so close that it seemed to be shouting in his ear.Gathering his mind, he turned around abruptly, and the scene in front of him somewhat made his brain pause. The three corpses were covered with stray cats at some point, and pairs of eyes glowing blue in the darkness were staring at Nong Fan, making low calls from time to time. There was a "meow", this time the sound came from the side, Nong Fan looked along, and there was a gray and white fat wild cat lying on the top of the three corpses, these three wild cats were staring at Nong Fan, the fat cat face It seemed to be mocking with contempt.Although Nong Fan was taken aback by this weird scene, he was more afraid that the corpse would be bitten and destroyed by wild cats.He picked up a twig from the ground, and rushed at it angrily: "Smelly cat, caught the mouse and caught my brothers. I hope the master won't skewer you to roast." Those wild cats moved swiftly, jumping up and down, hiding here and there, after some chasing and tossing, Nong Fan drove the wild cats away.At this time, his face was already covered with countless red marks, his clothes were torn, and he was out of breath.He sat on the ground, panting heavily, thinking in his heart, although the origin of these wild cats is unknown, they were finally driven away. Fortunately, Master didn't see my embarrassed appearance just now, otherwise he would lose his temper again . Like many legends, many dangers will always come quietly at the moment when people let down their vigilance.Maybe it's because there are too many weird things happening tonight, maybe it's because Nong Fan doesn't take cats seriously.He actually completely forgot what Xu Qiuyuan told him, one of the taboos about walking corpses, not to let long-haired animals get close to the corpse. Legend has it that once a cat is born, it has nine lives.The cat's nine lives does not mean that it has nine lives available, but that the cat has nine souls.Except for one of the cat's nine souls, which is the soul of fate, the others are all souls of the earth.The soul of the earth can control the actions of living things, so the folks are very taboo about cats approaching dead bodies.When the cat gets close to the dead body, some of the eight earth souls in the cat's body will pass to the dead body. Of course, the cat will not be affected, but the dead body will be in danger of cheating.Therefore, many people will always place a new upside-down broom on the mourning hall when they are guarding the spirit. One is to beat away the earth spirit in the corpse when defrauding the corpse, and the other is to drive cats and mice away. And the corpse chaser is more taboo than the common people, because a soul has been infused into the corpse when the corpse is lifted up, if the corpse absorbs another soul, it is very likely that the corpse will change.At that time, the corpse that absorbs the earth soul will become a living dead, the so-called "walking dead". Nong Fan watched helplessly as the "Corpse Suppression Talisman" on the foreheads of the three corpses suddenly fell to the ground, but he was helpless.The three corpses that absorbed the second earth soul ran away immediately, and after a strange scream at him, they rushed towards him. Nong Fan was so frightened that his mind went blank. Fortunately, he did not practice kung fu this year. Just when the corpse's hand was about to grab his neck, he instinctively fended off the corpse's hand that was grabbing swiftly. One vertical, out of the walking corpse attack range.After landing on the ground and standing firmly, Nong Fan finally woke up. Looking at the three walking corpses in front of him, he felt like crying.The thing happened right under his nose, if Xu Qiuyuan found out about it, he would have to beat him up.Thinking of Xu Qiuyuan's angry appearance, he couldn't help shivering. Compared with the three walking corpses in front of him, Xu Qiuyuan was much more terrifying. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling ruthless in his heart: These walking corpses must be brought down, and the master must never know about the corpse change. The reason why he suddenly became supernatural is also because he remembered what Zhang Xiaoluo once said about walking corpses. Except for their strength and painlessness, walking corpses have almost no other advantages over living people. It can be said that they are all corpses. the easiest to deal with.And with his current ability, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary walking corpses. After weighing it over and over again, Nong Fan, who felt that he was sure to deal with the three walking corpses in front of him, couldn't help roaring: "Thanks to my hard work and persuasion, the three of you still toast and refuse to eat, and you are fined. Hmph, since Then don't blame me for doing it!" As soon as the words fell, Nong Fan kicked towards the walking corpse who rushed to the front. With a sound of "bang", the walking corpse has been kicked to the ground by Nong Fan.Seeing that the walking corpse was kicked to the ground, Nong Fan just wanted to grin, but saw the walking corpse stood up again, and ran towards him without pausing.Nong Fan was also afraid and did not retreat, he yelled and fought with the three walking corpses. Although the walking corpse is not as rigid as the zombie, it also has no pain nerves.Nong Fan's fists and kicks had no effect on him at all, the more he punched, the more afraid he became, and if he continued like this, he would lose his strength and lose his life. Kicking over a group of corpses again, Nong Fan suddenly ran away, shouting as he ran, "Master, help...the corpse has changed." The reason why walking corpses are called walking corpses is because they move like the wind, and they are more resolute than zombies. No matter how fast Nong Fan runs, he can't run faster than walking corpses.Seeing that he was about to be caught by the walking corpse, he suddenly changed direction and ran towards the nearest big tree.When he came under the tree, he exerted his strength and climbed up the tree in a few strokes.Ever since he suffered a loss because he couldn't climb trees a year ago, he secretly made up his mind to learn how to climb trees, and he didn't expect it to come in handy today. Nong Fan, who had climbed up the tree, was panting heavily, and at the same time he still did not forget to yell and mock at the three walking corpses under the tree: "Ha...haha, Lord, I am not...not afraid of you, but afraid of breaking you...you It's not easy to explain to you...your relatives, and those who know you will just... stand still." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three walking corpses hugging the tree trunk and climbing up bit by bit.Nong Fan said "Damn!" He never thought that the walking corpse would climb a tree, and he shouted towards the depths of the forest: "Master... come quickly, if you don't come, the disciple will go to see the patriarch. Help..." In the deep forest, Xu Qiuyuan chased the black shadow, and the more he chased him, the more suspicious he felt. This black shadow not only moved like the wind, but also looked very familiar to him.The black shadow ran wildly all the way, shuttling through the dark woods without showing any trace of evil.Xu Qiuyuan thought: "Look at that skill, could it be a human?" After chasing another hundred steps, the speed of the black shadow gradually slowed down, as if it lacked stamina.Xu Qiuyuan was overjoyed, and stepped faster, he was within ten meters away from the black shadow, and was about to catch the black shadow, when Nong Fan's voice came. Xu Qiuyuan groaned inwardly, thinking it was the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, he ignored the shadow, turned around and ran back, even faster than before.
