Chapter 37: The gong clears the way

Before entering the village, Master Qingfeng took out a gong and beat the inherent sound of the corpse-driver. This is to remind the villagers who get up early to avoid it, especially animals such as cats and dogs, to hide them, so as not to scare people, or to avoid letting those animals touch the corpse and causing corpses to transform.

The sound of the gong rang, and the sound continued. At this moment of dawn, there seemed to be a kind of terrifying magic. Not to mention that there was no one in the village at this time, even if someone heard such a sound, he would definitely run back to the house, cover his head with a quilt, and tremble in the quilt, because everyone knew that the Taoist priest who drove the corpse was coming, and he led a group of terrifying corpses into their village. Those who saw these corpses would be infected with bad luck and would be in trouble for a long time. Naturally, no one dared to look at it, and he was afraid to avoid it.

As for whether the person who drove the corpse would be infected with bad luck or even had a long time of bad luck, Wu Feng once asked his master for advice, and the master answered him like this. The reason why he told others this was to make others feel fear of us corpse drivers and avoid them, one was to be afraid of scaring people, and the other was to be afraid of disturbing the corpse and causing corpse transformation. There was a precedent for those who walked on the night to hit us corpse drivers and were scared to death on the spot. Therefore, the ancestors set rules that when driving the corpse, they had to open the way and warn everyone to avoid it. They also spread the word that if they encountered corpse drivers, they would be exposed. Over time, this became a well-known thing for everyone.

In fact, the words of the ancestor who drove corpses in the past were not unreasonable. The corpse drivers usually carried many corpses to the night. Those corpses seemed extremely gloomy and terrifying at night, and strange and inexplicable. If they were met by people walking on the night, they would inevitably be frightened. After returning home, they might get sick due to fright and cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are infected with bad luck.

After a few sounds of the gongs, Wu Feng saw a thin figure, carrying a red lantern, and slowly walked towards them.

Soon, the thin figure got closer and closer. Wu Feng saw his appearance clearly. It turned out to be an old man in his sixties. He was hunched over, his hair and beard were gray, and there was a gong that was much smaller than that in his master's hand. He looked like a man who was dressed up.

The old man smiled and walked closer and closer, and went straight to Principal Qingfeng. He greeted him very familiarly: It turned out that Principal Qingfeng has come here. We two have never seen each other for a while. It's a good time recently.

Master Qingfeng bowed to the old man politely and said with a smile: I am so disturbing the precious land of my path. I also asked my brother to take care of it. I don’t know that the charity village in the village is idle. I want to stay with me and my disciple for a day.

The old man looked carefully at Master Qingfeng and Wu Feng's eyes while playing the lantern. Seeing that their clothes were damaged and were stained with a lot of blood, he was shocked and asked: Master Qingfeng, you are injured. It seems that you are still injured. I don't know what happened.
