Chapter 6: Corpse Sending

Huama Guaishan knew how to observe his expressions. After saying that, he saw Luo Laowai's reaction, and then he knew the name of it. He then smiled and said, "If you want to say that zombies are in the charity village, it is reasonable to do so. But it is just that the corpse poison is not visible on the face of the second aunt of Mouse. It seems that he was infused with corpse poison in his mouth after his death. His eyes are small and he doesn't know the level of the matter. How dare he show his ugly appearance in front of the two great experts, the shopkeeper and Luo Shuai."

Luo Laowai was waiting for him to say this and told Hua Maguai to hear it clearly. It turned out that the customs of Laoxiongling in western Hunan were strange. In the first seven days after death, the corpse was infused with poison in the corpse and stood behind the door panel. It was called "station zombie". Any zombie, no matter what reason it was, it would have poison in its body. If there was no secret method of "station zombie", before the corpse would be rotten and corrupted before it could be driven back to its hometown.

Except for Chen Weizi, the other three people only heard of the name of the corpse in Xiangxi, but did not know that it was actually because Luo Laowai said that he suddenly realized it. Sure enough, curiosity arose. In addition, the rainy night was long and boring, so I hope to ask Luo Shuai to teach the secrets.

Luo Laowai wanted to take the opportunity to brag about his experience in front of Miss Hong, but he did not refuse now. He was the most familiar with the matter of driving corpses because he had been a craftsman for driving corpses in the early years. When he was a teenager, he was too poor to survive from Shandong and went to Hunan to join relatives and friends. However, when he arrived at the place, he realized that his distant relatives had long been dead and had no money. Because of his ugly appearance, he was not a good person at first sight. He wanted to find a place to be an apprentice and work as a coolie. No one would ask for it.

In desperation, he had to go into the Green Forest Road and do something to kill the rich and help the poor. The so-called "robbing the rich and help the poor" just said it was nice, because it was difficult to get any benefits for those poor and poor men, and it was also spared from a bad reputation that harmed the people. However, he came from another province and did not know the local customs and conditions, so he could not make a living. In the end, someone pointed out to him that he was a corpse-driver. When a corpse-driver was admitted, he must have three conditions: one was boldness, the second was ugly, and the third was never married for a lifetime.

Most of the people who drive corpses in Xiangxi are in Taoist sects. Chenzhou, Xiangxi, which is rich in cinnabar, has two major corpses, namely "Huzhai Thunder Altar" and "Jinzhai Thunder Altar". The corpse driving has always been operated by these two corpses. Luo Laowai worshipped an old man named Jin and learned the secret corpse driving technique of the Jinzhai Thunder Altar.

In Xiangxi, Hunan, there have been mysterious legends such as "sending corpses, falling into caves, and putting gus on them". Among them, the sending corpses is "sending corpses". Because the mountains and rivers in western Hunan are rugged, there are no roads in many places. There are many merchants from the north who traffic in wood to make huge profits. Most of them put the giant trees taken by the raft during the flood season and tied them up in the river and went south. The merchants all drifted down the raft along the river. After finishing their business, they then crossed the mountains and ridges to return home.

Because of the rampant bandits in the Yi Cave, there are many miasma, poisonous insects, and various diseases spread. If there are foreign merchants who are not accustomed to the land, they often die on the way if they are infected or looted. Merchants from other provinces hurt their kind and are very sympathetic to these experiences of their deaths. So they gathered money to build a charity house and hired craftsmen to enable the dead to return to their roots and bury their bones back to their hometown.

Speaking of Xiangxi corpse driving, it is really famous and is so magical. People talk about it. They fear it like a tiger. In fact, the official name of this kind of strange technique has been called "corpse delivery" since ancient times. In modern times, there has been a saying of "corpse driving away" and Westerners call it "corpse urging". In the eyes of foreigners, this thing is even more mysterious. Westerners have "corpse urging" techniques, that is, "hypnosis". The reason why they call it this way is probably to hypnify corpses.

Because the western Hunan and western Hunan are mixed with Yi Han, the geographical environment is special, countless dangerous rocks and peaks rise out of thin air, and the peak columns stretch out one after another, arching the south sky. The terrain is difficult and dangerous, and there is no road in the depths of the mountains. It is not realistic to carry people back to their hometown for burial after death. This requires the "corpse craftsman" to send the corpse, but in some places, the corpse craftsman only goes once every six months, and wait for more people to die to transport them together.

If the dead die for a long time, it will inevitably lead to decay and corruption. At that time, cremation was rejected and never considered methods such as urns. Therefore, anyone who wants to send them back to their hometown to settle down must first try to make a zombie. This is a prerequisite.

How can corpses be destroyed? If you want to die and not rot, you can inject mercury into the corpse, but that method is expensive and cannot be used by ordinary people, and it will also damage the organs of the corpse. Some people use folk secret techniques. When they feel that they have little time, they start to take a small amount of arsenic regularly. Of course, the measurement is very small. Arsenic mixed with Condensation Pill, and strange herbs such as Kanji, Shanyin Purple Flower, etc., as long as these things are proportional

When a person is alive, it does not cause much harm to the human body. However, when a person stops breathing, his qi and blood coagulate, he becomes stiff and not rotten, and becomes a zombie made of medicine. Therefore, he has to stay on the door panel for several days and move it into the coffin after it is completely rigid. It is not necessary to infuse it after death. However, the body is slightly less preserved and easily smelly. The body of the second aunt, a mouse in the charity village, was filled with poison after death and stood behind the door panel to "stand" stagnate.

The mystery of sending corpses in Xiangxi is that unless you have been a corpse sender, outsiders cannot know what is going on in this industry, because this industry is extremely mysterious, and the arts used in it are never out of the box. In the Taoist Sect, there is no mention of the saying of driving corpses and sending corpses. They are all called by outsiders. People in the Taoist Sect all call them "water-driven technique".

"Water-removing technique" is the official general term, and the code word in the underworld is called "a bowl of water". It is unlucky to hit the team that sends corpses. In the Green Forest Road, such a thing is called hitting water. Now it also means "hitting evil and hitting ghosts", because in the process of sending corpses, its magic depends entirely on a bowl of clear water, and two people must walk together to be effective.

The two of them were divided into one, one behind, one behind, one corpse sender was wearing a cloth banner in front and guided by alchemy. The other was holding a bowl of clear water at the end. No matter how many dead bodies were sent on this trip, the dead bodies were all in the middle of the team, and the corpse sender was clamped in front and behind.

Two corpse senders are called "Pan" and "Pang Shu" and "Pang Shu". In this line, the most important character is the one who holds water. If you walk for a while, you have to add a talisman to the water bowl. This talisman is the "Burning Talisman to gather water to wake up the soul": open the heavenly court, and make people live forever, three souls and seven spirits, return to the spirit and return to the infant, three souls and seven souls are on the left, and seven souls are on the right, listen to the divine destiny, and observe the ominousness, no one sees the movement, and no one knows it when sitting, and no one is aware of it. It is urgent to be as directed as the law! This talisman must be "Chenzhou Talisman" in Xiangxi. If it is replaced by the Taoist talisman from other families, it will not work at all.

As long as the water bowl in the hand holding the water does not splash and break, the corpse will not fall down. During the process of sending the corpse, the dead body is no different from the living person, but the only words cannot be spoken, and the posture of walking is slightly different from that of the living person. It follows the action of the people holding the banner. The dead person leaves the dead, and the people holding the banner stops the dead. This kind of corpse delivery team is really common in the western Hunan area in the late Ming Dynasty. There is a Hunan proverb that says "Three people stay in a hotel, two people eat", which refers to the corpse delivery person, which means that the one who does not eat is the dead person.

The day before the corpse sending team is about to reach the hometown of the dead, the deceased must send a dream to his family, and his family will immediately put the coffin in garments and be cleaned up. Once the corpse arrives, it will stand in front of the coffin. When the water is poured on the water, the corpse will be poured into the coffin immediately. At this time, it is necessary to quickly bury the deceased, otherwise the corpse will immediately change and appear to be rotten. If it has been dead for a month, it will immediately show the degree of decay that a normal person will die one month after death.

In fact, this bowl of water's strange technique was all in the early years, and it was lost in the Qianlong period. The reason for its loss was probably too confidential. Fewer people knew this secret technique. The people who were the ones who were the most likely to know this, and no one could tell the principle of delivering water to the corpse.

Until the Guangxu period, many people sold duck slices produced in Guizhou in order to seek huge profits, and they had the idea of ​​leaving the corpse and sending water. Taking advantage of the fear of sending corpses, they used them as cover to resell opium and arms. They used the corpse as cover to send corpses, which was very different from the ancient corpse delivery activities, but they were even more mysterious. Although Luo Laowai did not learn the secret technique of sending corpses, he used the identity of a corpse maker to traffic in black goods. He made his fortune and finally became a warlord who ran rampant in Hunan. Therefore, Luo Laowai was so relieved about the ugly female corpse, because he and Chen Xiaozi knew that the dead bodies in this charity village were filled with antiseptic drugs to make zombies, and it was impossible to turn into corpses.

The dead people who are here will be the pockets of people who smuggle corpses and sell goods in the future. However, after those who use the dead to traffic in black goods, they will find ways to send the bodies to their hometowns to bury them. This is not a kindness, righteousness, but if this is not the case, they will never be able to use "piercing corpses" as a guise in the future. The natives will be afraid of them if they don't know the inside story of the corpse delivery technique. Moreover, the corpse senders use this as their career, so they naturally refuse to tell others their details easily, so they seem even more evil and mysterious.

Hua Maguai, Hong Girl and others were all surprised by his words. Although Luo's old man was crooked and his eyes were vulgar, and he also had "eating, drinking, gambling, killing, setting fires" without any he did. However, he knew so much about these folk secret techniques. He was indeed a warlord leader who was intimidating one side, and he was a brother of the thief in the mountains. It seemed that he had his own uniqueness. Hua Maguai quickly picked up the big hunk and flattered him: "Gao Ming, he is really smart. Luo Shuai was also from a Taoist sect. No wonder he had such a genius!"
