Just now he told the young people around him that his apprentice has no other skills but courage.
The other party praised his apprentice for a while, and by the way, praised himself so that he was ecstatic, but before he returned to the hiding place, before he introduced someone, his apprentice was afraid that he would not want him. Isn't this slapping yourself in the face? ? ?
"Master, why did you hit me? I'm really afraid. You said that I have never touched a woman's hand at the age of 17. What if I was killed by these ghosts? Who will take care of you in the future? "
"I'm only forty and you want me to die?! You brat is usually so courageous, why are you so timid now?"
"There are so many ghosts here, who would not be afraid, Master, if the employers are surprised, your apprentice will be dismembered..."
"Okay, Taoist Master Simu, if this is a ghost town as you said, then it is indeed dangerous. Anyone who comes here will be afraid, and I don't blame this little brother for being afraid. I guess whoever it is is hiding in the corner shivering shivering."
Looking at the cursing four eyes, Lin Yi couldn't help but opened his mouth to make a rescue, which ended the farce just now.
Speaking of which, the disciple of the four-eyed Taoist priest is not bad.
In Lin Yi's impression, if this world is really the world of the film and television series he knows, then there are people who are even more deceitful.
For example, Lin Fengjiao's senior brother Lin Fengjiao's two disciples, Wencai and Qiusheng, are really at the point where a favorable situation can be turned into a headwind situation.
If Daoist Lin's apprentice was there, it is estimated that these corpses would have to be transformed into corpses, and people in this town would have to kill people if they didn't want to.
After reprimanding the disciples, the four-eyed priest introduced the two to each other, and then took out two yellow talismans and handed them to Lin Yi: "Little brother, these two yellow talismans, one is to cover up the yang energy and avoid being caught by the ghosts here." As you can see, the other one won’t disturb employers like me, so you can keep it, otherwise it won’t be difficult for employers to disturb me, but it won’t be easy for these employers to return to their hometowns.”
"it is good."
Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded, followed Si Mu into this deserted courtyard, and walked towards an inconspicuous house. As soon as he entered, he saw jumping corpses lined up in a row.
These jumping corpses are dressed in the robes of the previous dynasty, and their appearance is three points similar to the zombies in the film and television, but they are different in details.
And these corpses are not as intact as shown in the TV series. If you look carefully, you can see bloodstains stitched on the neck or other places, and there is a strong stench and aroma from the body. The magic is that the skin of these corpses Extremely smooth, as if alive in the world.
There were eleven corpses in total, standing in a row against the wall, with yellow talismans drawn with cinnabar on their foreheads, they leaned quietly like clay sculptures, but the sense of death and horror was extremely obvious, making them particularly frightening , It is frightening.
After entering the house, Simu carefully checked the employers for abnormalities and wear of the yellow talismans, and vigilantly took out some yellow talismans and pasted them on the doors and windows, saying that they were guarding against evil spirits in this ghostly place to find them.
Seeing Master coming back, Jiayong became more courageous. He cautiously approached the Taoist priest with four eyes, and looked in Lin Yi's direction from time to time: "Master, didn't you just inquire about the news? Why did you bring a little boy back? Be careful There's something wrong with him!"
"Does he have any problems, don't I know? Could it be that he is still a ghost? I don't need you to teach me how to do things!!"
The four eyes glared at the apprentice unhappily, obviously still a little angry because Jiayong's timid scene just weakened his face.
After some preparations, Simu smiled and said to Lin Yi: "Little brother, if there is nothing wrong now, the illusion of sleeping in this place until dawn should disappear, and then I will help you get those things on you Force it out."
"Jiayong, go get a cloak and a black cloth to cover the employers, or I will be wasting my time if the employers lose their souls in the sun at dawn."
"Good master."
"Okay, thank you, Daoist." Lin Yi nodded, leaning against the wall without making a sound.
The same is true after Simu Jiayong is busy with everything, obviously he has experienced a lot of ghosts, illusions and the like.
As for Jiayong, he didn't ask any more questions except for the silly face at the beginning. Obviously, he has walked this road with Simu for a long time, and he has seen a lot of things in the world. Those who asked for a living didn't ask much about Lin Yi's origin and purpose.
Soon, this secluded and uninhabited house also fell silent.
As the place calmed down, the lively and cheerful atmosphere in the distance outside also came along with the wind, which made Jiayong envious and yearning: "Master, takeaway seems to be very cheerful. There was really such a prosperous place 100 years ago. ?"
Hearing this question, Simu said angrily, "How do I know? I haven't lived in the past. Otherwise, I'll summon my soul to ask my master? Or should you go for a walk outside?"
"Then forget it."
Jiayong shrank his neck, but still didn't dare to ask a few more questions, for fear that if he asked again, he would be thrown out by the four eyes.
Soon, Jiayong fell into a sound sleep.
The four eyes seem to be asleep, but the posture of leaning against the wall is like a leopard lying down, ready to shoot at any time, and the slightest attention is also on the outside world to be on guard.
After more than half an hour, something unexpected happened to Simu.
The surrounding houses and other things suddenly disappeared irregularly, whether it was the surrounding scenes or the distant world, they were all wiped out, as if they had never appeared before.
Not long after, the lonely scene of the barren mountains and wild mountains appeared in front of several people again.
Looking at this scene, his eyes were dazed, and Jiayong, who was sleeping soundly leaning against the wall, suddenly let out a scream of 'ouch', and then rolled out of his body.
It turned out that the place where Jiayong slept just now was a slope, and he rolled down without paying attention.
"Strange, how did this place become like this? Shouldn't it change at dawn? Weird... Weird!!"
The four eyes took out the compass from his body to observe in doubt, but he still couldn't get the answer, and finally ended the matter without a word, and said seriously: "Little brother, a little further away, it is the territory of my senior brother Lin Fengjiao, wait How about I treat you to another drink when we get there?"
Chapter 488 Snakes Have Snake Roads, Rats Have Rat Roads, Yinguan Station
Bell~
bell bell~
A bell echoed in the night.
Above the sky, a crescent moon hangs high in the night, emitting soft fluorescent light to illuminate the earth, the mountains and rivers.
On a secluded path, a strange team moved forward slowly.
The leader was a sturdy young man in Taoist robes, shaking a bell in his hand and reciting an ancient dialect. He walked a certain distance and said a sentence from time to time, "Yin people pass by, and Yang people avoid". The corpses jumped in groups, looking indescribably eerie and weird in the middle of the night.
The dialect with a strong accent echoed in the middle of the night, and the sound of bells was carried far and far away with the sound of the wind.
The figure in Taoist robes yelled and shouted, and the corpses in the robes of the front court jumped up and down one after another. If anyone saw it, they would probably die of fright on the spot.
Behind this group of teams, there are two figures following unhurriedly.
This group of people is none other than the four-eyed priest who escaped from the 'ghost town' just now.
With the addition of a living person in the team, the four-eyed priest also handed over the work at hand to his apprentices, and he followed Lin Yi in the back of the team, talking about things all over the world, and talking about the bitterness of Taoism.
At first, the four-eyed priest chatted disapprovingly, trying to suppress the young man's arrogance with his own knowledge, but after chatting, he realized that this young man looked about the same size as his apprentice, but he actually pretended to be A lot of knowledge, more knowledge than he imagined.
I wanted to beat this young man, but who knew that after hearing it, I would humbly seek to know anecdotes about some places, such as miracles in ancient times.
It wasn't until later that I realized that I had changed from a beater to a thirsty seeker. With the arrogance in my four eyes, I couldn't feel a little flushed and hot. I immediately started to show off the things that Maoshan had learned in those years, and showed off myself from time to time. The style when I first learned Taoism, the outstanding disciples I met, and so on.
But who knew that such a talk completely convinced the four eyes.
Because no matter what he asked, this young man was able to learn the magic technique here from the broken words, and told about an exquisite method that he had never heard of on Maoshan Mountain, which can be called direct pointing. The original method, this kind of feeling that he can clearly understand but is incomparably mysterious, and the feeling of seeing flowers in a fog made him astonished, and he began to ask frantically.
With this question, Simu talked about all the magic techniques he had learned on Maoshan Mountain, inviting gods, entering the underworld, drawing talismans, warding off evil spirits, killing demons, calming the gods, controlling evil spirits, exorcising ghosts, etc.
He originally thought that this young man might have some mysterious background and read some books, so he was able to tell a very mysterious spell when a blind cat met a dead mouse, but after asking this question, he was really shocked. This young man As if omniscient and omnipotent, he even roughly explained all the methods he listed and talked about.
Even if it was just a rough talk, it made him feel suddenly enlightened and enlightened.
It was as if it was the first time he saw something he had learned for decades, and it made him feel strange and distant, as if everything he had learned before was for nothing.
After just getting along for a short period of time, the four-eyed priest went from the initial temptation to the current enthusiasm and fawning, which made Jiayong, who was chasing the corpse in front of him, look helpless and murmured from time to time, "Master was abducted." Gone' or something like that.
"What are you nagging about in front of the stinky brat? Get rid of your corpse carefully, and be careful that I will beat you!"
Seeing his apprentice chattering in front of him, he scolded with four eyes, turned his head and smiled and said to Lin Yi: "Little brother, I don't know, it wasn't our Maoshan lineage who drove the dead at first, but It's another corpse chaser."
"You may not be able to imagine this corpse driver. His background is a bit big and ancient!"
Having said that, the four eyes stopped, looking at Lin Yi with a smile, as if wanting to get back the previous scene here.
Lin Yi naturally saw the other party's intention to show off, and pretended to be curious: "Oh, I don't know where the corpses come from?"
"Hey, Brother Lin, I know this, but this happened a long, long time ago!"
"It is said that thousands of years ago, Chi You led his troops to fight against the hostile tribes, until the corpses were scattered all over the field, blood flowed into rivers, and after the battle, they had to retreat to the rear. After the soldiers carried away the wounded soldiers, Chi You said to the military adviser beside him: "We can't leave the brothers who died here, how about you use some magic to bring these good brothers back to their hometown? The military division said: "Okay."You and I change our attire, you lead the way with the "tale festival" in front, and I supervise behind. "
"So the military master dressed up as Chi You, stood among the corpses of the brothers who died in battle, and after silently chanting incantations and praying to the gods, he shouted loudly at the corpses: "Brothers who died in battle, this is not a place for you to die. , Your death in vain is truly mournful.Parents in my hometown look forward to it, and my beautiful wife and young son look forward to returning home.Your soul and your soul don't need to hesitate.Hurry like a law, get up! "The corpses that had been lying on the ground all stood up at once, followed Chi You's "talented festival" and walked south in an orderly manner."
"Until it was slowly passed down later, it evolved into the lineage of chasing corpses."
"My master said that the Maoshan lineage is not dedicated to chasing corpses, but is passed down by the famous and upright Zhenjun Sanmao, and belongs to the Zhengdao lineage. It's just that those of us who were sent out from the outside world have to make a living, and we took over many of them later. Maoshan didn’t do things in the first place, but the master said that despite the tiredness of driving the dead, sending the dead home is also a matter of accumulating merit, and if you are lucky, you can even become a small official in the underworld.”
"Well, this story is amazing, isn't it Brother Lin? So many years ago, there was such a thing as exorcising corpses."
Jiayong, who was chasing the corpse in front of him, suddenly said it out loud, and looked at Simu triumphantly, but Simu, who became angry from embarrassment, grabbed a small stone and threw it over, cursing: "The brat is missing in the ghost town!" You are so bold, why are you talking so much nonsense now? If you love talking, just keep talking!"
Jiayong was in pain from being smashed, but he knew he was right and scratched the back of his head without daring to say anything.
Lin Yi didn't laugh at anything, cupped his hands and said to Jiayong, "So that's it, I've been taught."
"What does this brat know? He just knows how to steal words." Daoist Simu said sullenly, as displeased as someone who has been spoiled.
After walking for more than an hour, the surrounding barren mountains gradually became empty.
The four eyes walked towards a narrow path, and said calmly: "The living have their own way, and heretics also have their own way. When we drive corpses in the daytime, we don't live in the same place as normal people. , those of us have broken away from the team of normal people, and the place we live in is also a bit gloomy. If you feel unwell, Brother Lin can take that road. There is a town thirty miles straight on that road, and there are places to stay, eat and drink in the town .”
"If you are worried about what you ate in the ghost town before, you can go to Renjia Town, a hundred miles away, to find my brother Lin Fengjiao. He is much better than me, but he is old and returns to Renjia Town. Shang Anxiang is in his later years, and he has taken in two apprentices, but his life is much more nourishing than mine."
"When the time comes, you will go there with a token, and my senior brother will definitely treat you warmly."
When he was about to step into the narrow path, Taoist Master Simu took out a yellow talisman and stuffed it into Lin Yi's hand, but Lin Yi didn't take it, and said indifferently: "I hit it off with the Taoist priest at first sight, and I may not be familiar with other people, let alone the Taoist priest I also have this ability, why should I waste the favor of the Taoist priest to find others."
"In that ghost town, I said that I would hold a big banquet to treat the Taoist priest to a good meal, so how can I break my promise?"
Lin Yi smiled gently, but the four-eyed priest was very moved. He nodded in approval, but didn't say anything superficial.
However, Jiayong said in an unharmonious and destructive atmosphere as usual: "Brother Lin, we can go to Shangtang Town to eat when it gets dark tomorrow. What are you going to treat us to? There is a new western restaurant there , I heard that the shop waiter inside is not called shop waiter, what is the name of Werther’s, and I heard that the steak there is delicious, but it costs hundreds of dollars a piece, will you take us to eat steak?”
Hearing this, the Taoist priest with four eyes couldn't hold back his face anymore, he slapped Jiayong on the head, and cursed: "You still eat steak, do you think you are a steak eater? How much is it for me to drive the corpse, you The kid just wants to eat steak? I want to make a wish and go to the temple!"
"Steak is not a big deal. I even think it's too simple to just invite the Taoist priest and this brother to eat some steak. If there is a chance, I must invite the two of you to have a good meal."
Lin Yi smiled, but Jiayong scratched his head in embarrassment and dared not continue.
Suddenly, the sound of the bell continued to echo on the deserted narrow path.
I don't know what magical power this Maoshan spell has. Jiayong shook the bell in front and drank in dialect, but the corpses behind him didn't seem to fall in the slightest, and they were steady.
But not long after the corpse was removed, Jiayong raised his head and murmured: "Master, Master Lin was kicked out of Maoshan because he offended him. Why do you say he wants to enjoy his old age? I heard that Master Lin His aptitude is not bad, almost as tall as Daoist Qianhe, if it wasn't for that incident, he would be able to hit the position of elder now if he drove down the mountain."
The four-eyed Taoist priest suddenly became furious, and cursed coldly: "What are you talking about here so frivolously? How can you interrupt us when we are talking? Go to the corpse honestly!"
"Oh..." Jiayong also saw the anger of the master, and went to chase the corpse with his head down, not daring to be as active as before.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.
The rest of the itinerary calmed down as before. Jiayong honestly chased away the corpse in front of him. The Taoist priest with four eyes seemed to be touched by what happened before. kind of thing.
A group of people continued to walk towards the narrow path.
Speaking of which, exorcising corpses is indeed not a good job.
The corpse driver does not follow behind the corpse, nor does he turn on any lights, but walks ahead with a bell in his hand, sometimes chanting spells, sometimes cursing lonely ghosts, sometimes respecting ghosts and gods from all over the world, sometimes letting Yang people Dodge, sometimes turn around to check the laggard corpse.
The mountain road is rough and difficult to walk. Sometimes when passing by some slopes that are difficult for corpses to jump over, Jiayong has to carry them one by one to the hillside. When he reaches the mountain, he checks the yellow talisman on the forehead and the cinnabar in the seven orifices. Has the talisman fallen off? If you encounter a hunter who is staying overnight in the mountains, you have to communicate with him to take the dog away, so as not to hit the corpse and cause the corpse to change. It is extremely hard work, and a long trek is a hard-earned money. .
After walking for more than three hours, the sky turned gray, and it seemed that it was almost dawn.
According to ordinary people's knowledge, there are probably very few people who come out for activities in the middle of the night, but Lin Yi meets people from time to time on this road, some come to hunt and sell in the middle of the night, and some are herb collectors, such as heresy, Jianghu, etc. There are also many people, and it is really lively.
Walking on this small path, it seems that people of all kinds and religions can see the night here, and the four-eyed Taoist priest will sometimes say hello to some people.
It was almost dawn, and there was a bustling sound in the distance, as if he had come to a certain market.
When I got closer, I saw that there was actually a market in a flat open space on this Yangchang trail. Many people sat on the ground and spread out simple stalls with a piece of cloth. Some people were bidding for auctions in lively places. , there are all kinds of small buildings that look like folk customs, small restaurants for eating, and tea shops for drinking tea. Who would dare to believe that there are such places in this narrow alley?
The Taoist Master Simu also explained: "Brother Lin, don't think that we are not a proper ranks for driving corpses, but dragons follow dragon paths, snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and we people also have activities. This place, if it is not here, it is difficult for people in this line to know this place."
"This is the post station of the Yin official. There is a night travel god who takes refuge here. Ghosts from all directions dare not do evil here. It can be regarded as a market."
"In addition to people from different schools and streams of Taoism, there are also demons and heretics here. Except for all kinds of mountain spirits and ghosts, they will appear here. Trading under the protection of the Night Tour God can barely be regarded as a black market. As long as you have money There may be treasures, here you can get a lot of information or items that cannot be obtained outside."
"Of course, a little Taoist like me just chases corpses to earn Yinde. I can't get acquainted with many important people in the Yinguan Station, and I can't afford to offend them."
Priest Simu laughed at himself, but he didn't say too much about this matter: "Brother Lin, let me take you to the corpse inn for a day. We corpse hunters rest during the day and go on the road at night. There is nothing we can do about it." , I’ve worked hard on you for the past few days, and I’ll find my senior brother to entertain you when I arrive in Renjia Town.”
"No problem."
Lin Yi smiled, and walked towards the Yinguan Station together with Si Mu.
Chapter 489 The prestige of Maoshan, the matter of escorting the royal family on the frontier of Daxia...
Yinguan Station is indeed lively.
Looking around, there are all kinds of people on this flat open space.
Some people set up stalls to sell things. There are bronzes, porcelain, wedding shoes, necklaces, ancient charms, porcelain vases, and clothes on the stalls. There are even hand bones and skulls placed on them. If the price is in mind, if it is suitable, it will naturally be discussed and exchanged.
Some people walk around and choose the right goods in each booth, either bargaining, shaking their heads and leaving, or staying in the booth with a shy face and wanting to buy at a low price. Various styles of painting can be seen here.
Some people stand mysteriously at the intersection, and when they meet some people who look like Xiaobai or are alone, they will run over with a smile and say something, sometimes they will pull some people into some houses with ambiguous lights, and some people will not He silently refused these requests.
