[Comprehensive] Intermittent complacency

Chasing corpses in western Hunan is a custom of Miao witch culture.

Legend has it that those exorcising corpses will use "secret techniques" to bring home the corpses that have died in foreign countries and let them rest in peace.

The child is silent, strange and chaotic.

As soon as the old boatman's words came out, the whole boat was suddenly silent.The sky has already been completely dark, and you can't see your fingers. The river is endless, and occasionally white mist floats in, wet and salty. Only the clusters of flames flicker in the dark night, bringing a trace of light.

There is no Jiang Fengyuhuo here, only Mianmian.

"You, you, you, you, you, don't be kidding !!!" The post -life from the capital was frightened, and the man who unconsciously leaned his hands with his hands with his hands. It's terrifying just thinking about it.

The old boatman gave a cold snort of disdain, and continued to support the pole on the boat, "Is it necessary for the old man to lie to you! You don't know our rules here, so be careful to play with yourself!"

The younger generation was stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again, "What you said is right! What you said is right!"

The old boatman laughed out loud, as if he was happy that he had easily deceived a child, the atmosphere warmed up like this, everyone on the boat was whispering, and a girl from Suzhou quietly sang Pingtan.

Lou Bei leaned against the black awning, looking at the old boatman who was wearing "cool" clothes, Lan Feihong on the side gave him a push, "Why?"

The young man shook his head, looking very well-behaved, and said softly, "Tell me, is this credible?"

"What? Xiangxi chased corpses?" Lan Feihong laughed, he was already 30 years old, how could he believe such things again, "A Bei, how old are you?"

"Huh?" Lou Bei didn't understand why the topic suddenly changed so quickly, "!"

"..." Ah Fei was stunned for a moment, his eyes were like searchlights, but he looked closely, how could it be possible! "Then let me ask another question, how old are you?"

Lou Bei shook the dry food in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, "Well,...it must be 80 years old."

Lan Feihong squinted his eyes, looking like "I won't play with you if you joke anymore".Lou Bei shrugged, he was telling the truth.

"Brother, since you also said that you know a lot, let me ask you something!" Lan Feihong turned around and asked the man with the sleeves.

"Hey, brother, you ask me?"

"The current Twelve Princes, Prince Rong, when is this year's birthday?"

The man was also stunned, as if he didn't expect this man's question to be so far-fetched, but he still thought about it and said, "According to what I know, I'm afraid it's just passed the weak crown, and I can't stand here."

After Lan Feihong heard it, he thanked the man, with a smug expression on his face, "Well, I still know."

Lou Bei swallowed the dry food in his mouth, and began to look for water everywhere. Seeing this, A Fei handed him a small flagon, which contained water just before boarding the boat, "Whatever you say is what you say."

Ah Fei curled his lips bored, "So, do you really believe in that Xiangxi exorcism?"

"I'm not allowed to be curious?"

"That's not true. Anyway, I came to Miaojiang this time to learn cooking. I don't care what you want to do."

When Lou Bei heard this, he immediately sat up straight, looked at the man's expression carefully, and found no dissatisfaction, so he said, "In that case, I will go with you."

He still didn't say why he came.Lan Feihong nodded in frustration, leaned back without saying anything, and began to rest his mind.

In this kind of place, it was impossible to fall asleep, even Lan Feihong couldn't do it, let alone Loubei, he closed his eyes lightly, but what appeared in his mind was the topographic map of western Hunan.

That Xiangxi corpse... is really interesting.

###

The people of Miao Village stared at the visitor with wide eyes.

When they got to the north of Yuanling Tower, Lan Feihong bid farewell to the boatman and wanted to go for a walk into the mountains. The man with his hands in his sleeves joked with a smile, don't really meet Xiangxi Qushi!

They took it as a joke, and when they really came to Miao Village, they couldn't hide their novelty.It was at this point that Lan Feihong suddenly felt a little belatedly, ah, so he kidnapped a prince!

Prince Rong is not like those noble princes who don't know anything and are curious about everything. He knows a lot of things and won't trouble others to serve him unless it's a prank.He always stares brightly at everything around him with his dark eyes, and seems to be full of joy for everything in the world, and that kind of curiosity is not rude or annoying at all.

The Miao village is located in the mountains, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Looking from a distance, it is a green mountain with red and black small buildings, one next to the other, densely packed and infinitely close.The stream is like a bow, and the mountain road is like a bowstring, which looks very unique.

The roof of the upper floor is made of black tiles, and the red brick wall has four corners turned up on the roof. There is a fence outside. Once you walk in, the mountain road is winding and crowded, with layers upon layers. Sometimes you think you are walking on the roof of someone else's house.

Lou Bei and Lan Feihong looked at each other, and they both saw something called "magic" in each other's eyes.

The Miao people are very hospitable. After hearing Lan Feihong's intentions, they agreed to his request without saying a word, and introduced, "In our place, when it comes to offering sacrifices, there will always be many, many ceremonies. It’s not impossible, but it’s not the time recently, it’s not the time for offering sacrifices yet…” He shook his head while talking, “It’s not the time, it’s not the time!”

A Fei shook his head regretfully, and said that he could go and have a look at their special dishes, even if he didn't watch the sacrifice.

"That's no problem! I'll talk to Alan, and you can go!" The waiter smiled and pointed to a small house over there.

The Miao people mainly eat hot and sour food, which happens to be contrary to Lan Feihong's preferences, but he has always wanted to try this kind of cuisine recently, so he chatted happily with Alan, the daughter of the Miao man.

Lou Bei on the side had nothing to do, so he talked about Wu Nuo culture with the man. The man is the owner of the village and knows a lot. He told Lou Bei that such things should not be talked about, because they all believe in it.

Time passed quickly, and it was already evening when Lan Feihong and Lou Bei bid farewell to the village owner.

"Where do we live?" Lou Bei raised his eyebrows.

Ah Fei blushed, "Hey, I live at the foot of the mountain, I have to go down..." Due to their own reasons, the time was delayed, and they must have been very late when they arrived at the inn.

Sometimes, I don't know whether to call them crow mouths or praise them for their ability to predict things.

When the lower reaches of the Baihe River reach the confluence of Chenzhou and Yuanshui, it will become slightly turbid, which seems to be because the spring water comes out of the mountain, and if you go upstream, you can see the deep pools of three to five feet clear to the bottom, but because it is night Because of this, the mountain roads will be a little unclear, and there are many forests, so it is filled with miasma, the white smoke is lingering, and it can't be dissipated, and there will be a strange smell filling the tip of the nose.

Walking to the desolate place, even those Miao family villages were nowhere to be seen. Only then did Lan Feihong realize that something was wrong, and he immediately turned to look at the people next to him.

But I found that the place where Loubei Station was supposed to be was empty.

"Ah Bei?!" He panicked and shouted immediately, but the only response was an echo.

The fog around him was getting thicker and thicker, and he felt a sudden sensation, and that feeling came again, he hurriedly hid himself behind the tree, with only one eye exposed, staring straight ahead at the place where the miasma was the thickest.

Tightly holding a quill given to him by Lou Bei in his hand, he said it was a Western thing and an imported product, but there were no sharp things around him.

From a distance, there was a sound of "get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get!", and then there was the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other. Lan Feihong looked through the tree branches, and a group of figures appeared from the distant mist With the strange rhythm of the ringtone, a strange atmosphere pervaded, and the cool wind blew past the back of his head. He shrank in shock and broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking intently, a row of people appeared over there. The leader was wearing a pair of straw sandals, a green cloth gown, a black belt around his waist, a green cloth cap on his head, a bronze gong in his hand, and a treasure hidden in his pocket. Holding a pack of charms and shaking the soul-destroying bell in his hand, he led the row behind him.

And the row of figures in the back, there are as many as six or seven people, and there is one at a distance of seven or eight feet. They are connected together with straw ropes, and they are all dressed in black shrouds and tall blanket hats on their heads. , there is still a talisman hanging on his forehead, hanging down long.

Xiangxi drive corpses!

Really let him meet!

Lan Feihong's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he had actually come across what the boatman said. Isn't this the legendary witchcraft?Someone is really chasing corpses!

Moreover, where did Prince Rong go?Lan Feihong frowned fiercely, suppressed the panic in his heart, didn't dare to show his breath, he poked his head out again quietly, those corpses walked in a strange way, jumping around very regularly.From a long distance, you can still smell the strange smell from them.

Knowing that this was Xiangxi exorcising corpses, although he was surprised in his heart, he was still a little relieved, because there were exorcising corpses, so even if he encountered a legendary incident, he would not be afraid of anything.

Lan Feihong didn't pay attention to his feet when he was relaxing, and accidentally stepped on a branch. There was a "click", which was especially loud in the silent mountain forest.

He froze immediately, and saw that the corpse driver and the corpse over there paused, and slowly turned towards him.

Lan Feihong held his breath for an instant, not daring to make any big moves. He couldn't see the corpse chaser's face clearly, it was hidden behind the hat, but there was a faint sense of disobedience, as if...he was no different from the group of corpses behind him? !

Frightened by such thoughts, Lan Feihong swallowed, but his mouth was suddenly covered by a cold hand. He was startled, but a familiar smell came from the tip of his nose, the faint smell of sandalwood and ancient pine , for this place full of rotten smell, it is salvation.

Lan Feihong took a deep breath and signaled the other party to let go with his eyes. Lou Bei squinted at him for a while before slowly letting go.

He took Lan Feihong's hand and wrote on it: Be careful, the one who drove the corpse was not a human being.
