All Heavens TV: Beginning Guidance on Monkey King's Apprenticeship

Daoist warlocks like those who drive corpses have to have some fame and strength to get such a job.

And these people have a lot of fame in one side, are well known by the local gentry, have a certain reputation and strength, and can either build a small temple to open, or sit in Yizhuang. Compared with most people, these people People's life is actually moist.

Moisturizing is nourishing, but it is also accompanied by hardships and risks.

For example, some requirements such as exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, watching wind and water, praying for blessings, expelling corpses and punishing evil spirits, drawing talismans and praying, require a lot of skill to be able to do this step.

The more there is to do, the more risks there are, and the greater the chance of being disabled or even dying.

For example, in addition to being a mage, selling paper money, and exorcising evil spirits, Chang Simudao also helps people exorcise corpses to earn some money to subsidize Yizhuang and living expenses.

But in the final analysis, the corpse must be walked with one's own legs. Every day, trekking across the deserted mountains and wasteland, encountering wild beasts and ghosts that disturb the corpse, encountering strong men and bandits, and heavy rain and weather, I don't know how hard it is.

Sometimes when encountering a towering hillside, the dead body cannot jump over, and they have to carry the dead body on their backs.

The hardships here are so unspeakable that people can't understand them.

Even though he said that he didn't want to eat it, his nose could smell the aroma of delicious food and wine, and he couldn't help swallowing.

"Oh? Could it be that this is a black shop for money and murder?" Lin Yi calmly picked up several slices of fresh and tender beef dipped in the sauce and chewed them in his mouth.

The four eyes swallowed greedily, but he pretended to be stubborn and sneered and said: "Hehehe, young people just don't know the heights of heaven and earth. If you know what you ate, I'm afraid you will regret it, and even want to eat it." Spit out the bile!!"

"The Taoist priest wants to eat, so let's eat some together. It's rare to meet the Taoist priest and ask the Taoist priest to have a meal. If the Taoist priest is afraid that there is not enough food, you can order whatever dishes are available in this shop. You don't have to share with me." polite."

Seeing that the young man was not angry when he taunted him many times, his four eyes glanced at Lin Yi unexpectedly, and then put away his emotions and said seriously: "Young man, since you called me a few times, I will tell you You, don't eat the food here, or you will lose your life!"

"Why do you lose your life? I think the food here is delicious."

Lin Yi didn't care about what he could eat or not, he pushed the beef slices, dried pork, stir-fried large intestine, egg custard and other dishes in front of his four eyes, and said with a smile: "If the Taoist wants to eat, you can taste it to your heart's content , I still have a little bit of money on me, so don’t be afraid that it won’t be enough to settle the bill.”

Looking at the young man who really seemed to know nothing, Simu shook his head and sighed, approached in a low voice and said seriously: "Young man, do you really not find any problem here?"

"Look at the style of the house here? Look at the style of those people's clothing. And what they say, the money they spend, and the topics they talk about. Where are these now? This is clearly The pattern of the period of the Eight Kings Chaos, but it has been a hundred years since the Eight Kings Chaos!!!”

"How could people and things from more than a hundred years ago suddenly appear here?"

"What's more, I have chased corpses along this route for many years. I have never heard of any town in this barren mountain. You are also very courageous. You dare to come here to eat, and you are not afraid of something wrong. ??"

"Seeing that your personality is not bad, I advise you not to eat it, otherwise you will lose your life."

"So that's the case, thank you Taoist priest for reminding me." Lin Yi clasped his fists as a gesture, feeling a little surprised that he came to an area where people passed by.

In the past, when he was traveling in the deep mountains and old forests, he would meet some people. Sometimes even the uncontrollable manifestation of this realm appeared in reality, and then he framed many living beings inside the wrapped people, even though he ordered not to eat people Harmful, but it will still scare some people, and then they will go to a more desolate place.

But he didn't expect that right now he seemed to have come to a road that only special people would walk.

With a slight communication of thoughts, Lin Yi had a panoramic view of the entire Huangshi Town. He saw dozens of people strayed into the town here. He also wanted to kill people and steal money in the town, and then he had his body cut up and eaten.

As for the other people, some have a strong smell of incense, some have a strong smell of corpses, some carry baskets full of paper figurines on their backs, and some are quick-witted and sharp-eyed. Follow this dark road.

Seeing that Lin Yi was still eating, the four-eyed priest said helplessly and indifferently: "I just praised you a few words, but you are stubborn, you really don't know how to live or die!!"

"Don't look at these things that are so fragrant and full of meat, but these are all skins and illusions!!!"

"Is it delicious? Do you know what you eat?? What you eat are rotten water, rotten meat, toads, centipedes, apple snails, leeches, earthworms and other dirty and smelly things!! Eight kings chaos The era of the Kingdom disappeared as early as a hundred years ago. Now the Great Xia uses military force to expel the Tartars and stabilize the eight directions. Fang Manyi bowed his head and proclaimed himself a vassal!!!"

"Think about it again, if there is a town here, how can the surrounding roads be so deserted?"

"Young man, listen to the advice of the old man, don't eat any more."

Hearing the persuasive dissuasion from the four eyes, Lin Yi's eyes flickered, and he was slightly surprised.

Summer?

Has Great Xia brought down the corrupt dynasty a hundred years ago?

Even overseas have been pacified?

It seems that the history of the world has turned a corner in a once unknown moment and entered a moment of prosperity.

I just don't know whether it is technology-led, or what era?

Nowadays, there are still people chasing corpses, and these Daoists still practice the ancient professions of the past. It seems that this era is not as simple as I thought.

Although there was some doubt and curiosity in his heart, Lin Yi still didn't ask, otherwise all eyes would doubt whether he was human or not.

Lin Yi also solved the problems on his body.

Along the way, he encountered some Maoshan, Longhushan or other places where practitioners who practiced on their own would attack him. After questioning, he found out that it was because he didn't have three souls and seven souls, or three yang fires. Even some powerful people can see that his body is empty.

After some searching, I found a solution.

As long as he doesn't deliberately expose him right now, no one will know what his real body is.

"Thank you, Daoist, for reminding me, then I won't eat this meal."

Lin Yi nodded and put the chopsticks on the table. He didn't care about eating and drinking at first, it was just for entertainment.

Now that I met someone who is a practitioner and has a decent personality, it's fine to sit and chat together.

"Hey, luckily the young man didn't eat too much, otherwise your little life would be lost."

Four eyes solemnly said: "When the illusion here is broken at dawn, I will find some ways to help you vomit, but by then you may have a lot of depletion of yang energy, and you may even fall ill in bed for a while, but recuperate. It’s better to be able to recover to the same extent, and it’s better to die in another country.”

"Thank you, Daoist. When I get outside, I will definitely set up several tables for Daoist to have a good meal."

Lin Yi smiled and cupped his fists to express his gratitude, and said curiously: "I'm going to Lin Yi, Lin, would you like to ask the Taoist priest what is the main thing? Where did you come from this time, and where are you going?"

"So it's Brother Lin? My surname is Yong. I was sent to Maoshan by my family to learn skills for several years. After learning something, I returned to my hometown to help the village to heal diseases, exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings, catch ghosts and drive corpses. Right now I am doing It's driving the corpse for the employer."

"Every autumnal equinox in Daxia's prefectures will execute the death row inmates with the approval of the Ministry of Punishment. After execution, the local death row prisoners have their own family members to collect and bury their bodies, while the guest death row prisoners who want to be executed need to be transported back to their hometowns, usually with a dead body." Four people are required to carry it, which costs a lot, but it is relatively cheap to ask the old man to drive the corpse back to the hometown, and it can guarantee that it will not rot or stink halfway, because the carried corpse may rot after a day."

"As we do, we have our own means to put these corpses together so that they don't decay and move, but there are also hardships!!"

The four-eyed Taoist priest also cupped his hands, and sighed: "Little friend Lin may feel that there are three disadvantages and five shortcomings in our profession. Yang people avoid taboos and deal with dead people all day long. But if we don't do it, who will send these corpses back?" What? Some work needs to be done."

"But there are three times when we chase away corpses, and the third is not to chase them away."

"Three deportations, those who have been beheaded, hanged, and died in a cage can be deported."

"The three don't chase away are those who died of illness, those who died voluntarily by throwing themselves into the river and hanging their necks, and those whose limbs were incomplete due to thunder and fire. I can't catch up, or take the life of a dead ghost, and the cause and effect here is not easy to provoke."

"We usually travel at night during the day, and the wind and rain can't calm down. This foot has traveled thousands of miles."

"I think the little brother is gentle and dignified, he must be a scholar, right? Judging by his young age, I don't know which state he is from, what age he is, and where he studied at a school, or has he obtained an official rank?"

While chatting, Taoist Simu brought the topic to Lin Yi again.

For this extremely obvious temptation, Lin Yi didn't care. He put aside most of the questions in a few words, and at the same time he followed the other party's words, and he roughly knew what the current situation in Daxia was like.

The Great Xia Dynasty is still dominated by the emperor, but what is different from the past is that too many things have been added and changed in terms of national policy. Compared with the past, it is more enlightened and active, just like the modern emperor.

Daxia has a total of 35 states, almost occupying the land of Kyushu. The four countries are all headed by Daxia, and there is no one who dares not to follow.

As for science and technology, as early as a hundred years ago, something happened in the world. The evil spirits breed and the monsters are rampant. Technology does not work at all. In the end, it needs the help of Taoists to eliminate it. So far, the development of Taoism has also entered an era of rapid development. .

It can be said that the new is not new and the old is not old.

Of course, Lin Yi has never experienced too many of them, and he cannot know what the real situation is.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yi smiled lightly and said, "Since the Taoist priest came here to chase the corpse, why didn't he see your employers?"

"Little brother doesn't know, evil spirits are rampant here. I'm afraid those employers will be alarmed and tell my apprentice to wait for me in a hidden place. I don't know when this illusion will end. Don't be careless and reckless."

The four eyes were serious and said: "If you take it lightly, who knows what problems it will cause?"

"The Taoist priest is a man of awe-inspiring spirit, and he is impeccable in his work. It is really a blessing for these people to invite you to help."

"Where is it, I think the little brother is a dignified man, with an extraordinary bearing, and he would be a famous squire if his family is not in decline."

After exchanging greetings, Taoist Master Simu smiled and said, "I passed by Renjia Town on this trip, where my senior brother Lin Fengjiao lives. This trip can also have a drink or two with the senior brother I haven't seen for a long time. I don't know where the little brother is going. ?”

"People who travel in the clouds, the world is their home." Lin Yi shook his head, but he didn't ask any more questions.

After chatting for a while, the two set off to find Simu's disciples and employers...

Chapter 487 Heading to Renjia Town...

lively street.

People came and went, and the sound of playfulness sounded one after another.

This town is indescribably prosperous and colorful.

Pedestrians and hawkers on the streets hawked, children chased and played, and people in various costumes walked on the streets.

The shops on both sides are full of beautiful things in eyes, the restaurants and teahouses are full of seats, and many lanterns are hung on the eaves of many buildings. It really deserves to be a lively town.

Among the crowd, two figures shuttled through the sea of ​​people, one of them shook his head from time to time and looked around, sighing with emotion.

These two people are none other than Lin Yi and Taoist Simu who just left the wine shop by the river.

Looking at the extremely prosperous scene around, the Taoist priest with four eyes was full of admiration in his eyes, and said softly: "I didn't expect such a prosperous place to exist a hundred years ago. They were all starved to death, the eight kings attacked each other, and the overseas barbarians were secretly making troubles, causing chaos in the world and the loss of life."

"But seeing it now, I don't think there is such a scene in this era."

All kinds of new things in Huangshi Town were talked about, and they didn't hide it. After looking around secretly, they naturally guessed what period it was in, and they were extremely amazed.

"Every era has a prosperous and prosperous age, but no one knows whether to live and work in peace and contentment in this prosperous and prosperous age, or to starve for thousands of miles."

Lin Yi said something lightly, which made the four eyes very recognized, and said with emotion: "Brother Lin, you are mature and stable. Obviously my apprentice looks about the same age as you, but you speak so deeply. I'm afraid that my apprentice will not be able to say these words after studying the books for several lifetimes."

"Everyone has their own strengths and conduct in the world. For example, Taoist Master, you naturally have a set of education methods in your Taoist practice. Presumably, Taoist Master, your disciples must be bold and careful?"

"Damn, he's so stupid to do things, he's clumsy at drawing symbols, and he can't learn the essence of how to open the altar. He's just average courage. He can barely inherit my mantle, but I don't know how much skill he can learn in the future."

Hearing Lin Yi's praise of his apprentices, Daoist Simu narrowed his smiling eyes, but he was talking about his apprentices endlessly.

He was even afraid that Lin Yi would not know, so he squinted his eyes and said, "Actually, when I choose a disciple, I not only require the disciple to have some roots in cultivation, but also require the disciple to be bold and careful."

"When I was accepting apprentices, I tested a lot of things, such as distinguishing between east, west, and north."

"At that time, I asked people who wanted to be apprentices to look at the sun and rotate. I called out casually and asked them to tell the difference between south, east and north. Compared with ordinary people who can’t get up at sunrise and return home at sunset, sometimes they are easy to get lost if they can’t tell the opposite direction when driving in the mountains, so they can’t do things, delay the employer’s business and lose the reputation of Maoshan.”

"In addition to the ability to recognize the direction, you must also have enough strength, otherwise, if there is an accident on the road, the employer cannot be sent back to his hometown."

"The last word is to be bold and careful. I will let those who want to be apprentices go to the cemetery in the mountain to find a black bone in the middle of the night. Only those who find them are qualified to be my apprentices, and only then will they have the courage to do our business , so as not to lose the face of our Maoshan!"

"Although my apprentice is naturally dull, he is honest and honest, respects his teacher, and is not timid. He can barely be regarded as a member of the Taoist sect, and he does not lose face with my four eyes."

Speaking of apprentices, four eyes showed pride on his face.

"There are many people in this world, but there are not many people who are naturally bold and careful. The Taoist priest's apprentice can learn so many skills. Presumably, apart from the Taoist priest's superb learning and teaching skills, even this apprentice is not bad at understanding. .”

Lin Yi didn't spoil his interest, he smiled and said something nice, which made his four eyes more proud.

The two laughed and walked forward, ignoring the surrounding scene.

Not long after, the environment around the two of them became more remote and less crowded, and the alley became much darker. Only by listening carefully can we hear the noisy sounds in distant places.

Obviously, this environment is much quieter than the outside.

Arriving here, the four-eyed Taoist priest was seriously knocking on the door panel of a courtyard. The rhythm was orderly, sometimes long and sometimes short. It didn't take long before the same sound came from the courtyard wall, and it was not long before the door gently turned on.

squeak~

A short but strong and burly young man opened the door. He looked scared and murmured, "Master, you are finally back. Do you know how scared I am? You said this place is inexplicable." You still say that this place is full of ghosts, but you still let me stay with so many employers, are you not afraid that the employers will be frightened and turned into ghosts? You are not afraid that the employers will be ghosts. Did you come to kill your only disciple???"

Indeed, expelling corpses is not an ordinary term. This corpse is not a mutated zombie, nor is it man-made, but the three souls and seven spirits of the original owner of the corpse.

Some people who died in other places, those who died under torture were all bribed by their family members to the local execution ground, and the people in the execution ground just called Taoist warlocks who were willing to do things to bring these criminals home.

It is also particular about turning these dead people into jumping corpses that can obey the mobilization.

For example, at the execution ground, the exorcists had already made a lot of preparations. They would wait until three o'clock in the afternoon when the executioner raised his knife and lowered his knife, or after other disciplinary killings were carried out. Sew it up, use cinnabar to press down the seven places of the body, including the forehead, back, chest, heart, left and right hands, and soles, with a charm, and tie them tightly with five-color cloth strips.

According to legend, these seven places are the places where the seven orifices come and go, and the purpose of sealing them with cinnabar talismans is to keep the seven souls of the dead.

In addition, it is necessary to use cinnabar and Maoshan yellow talisman to seal the ears, mouth, and nose of the corpse, because the mouth, nose, and ears are the places where the three souls enter and exit, and only by sealing can the remnant body of the deceased stay in the body. Make it easy to be frightened and confused.

Afterwards, Fang just put a yellow talisman on the forehead of the corpse, and used the Maoshan secret method to refine it for seven hours. With the talisman in his hand, he gave a low shout of 'Get up', and the corpse jumped up on the spot, under its control!

But in the final analysis, these dead bodies died unexpectedly. Even if the exorcists summoned their remnant souls into their bodies by means of means immediately after death, they still lack souls and are easily frightened on the road. Let the corpse change.

Right now, Taoist Simu asked his apprentice Jiayong to wait alone in the courtyard of the ghost town. It would be strange if Jiayong was not frightened.

Even his own master said that this place was transformed by a party of extremely resentful ghosts who wanted to harm any Yang people who entered here. The resentment was so strong that even the eyes could not tell whether it was true or false. How could Jiayong not be afraid? ?

In case a ghost came to make trouble for me, how long can I last with my three-legged cat skills? ? ?

If these evil spirits and evil spirits turned the alarmed corpses of the employers into a disaster, wouldn't they suffer? ? ?

Jiayong has been guarding his employer in this remote yard and waiting for the master to come back. I don't know how scared he is! !

Seeing his apprentice's terrified look, his four eyes suddenly became hot, and he patted Jiayong's head with his hands in anger, and cursed: "I have learned Kung Fu from me for so many years, and I still don't know how to do it." Afraid? Have the guts been eaten by dogs?"
