Taishang asks longevity

Chapter 162

When Li Changsheng and Master Jia returned to the shop, they only saw Linglong's terrified expression.

Seeing Li Changsheng and Master Jia coming back with the corpses, Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, hurried forward and said, "After you left just now, an old woman came here."

"Ghost Gu mother?" Li Changsheng and Master Jia looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Linglong nodded, and said: "She said she was a passerby and wanted to come in and take a rest in the small shop, but I was afraid... I didn't dare to open the door."

Li Changsheng said: "It's right not to open the door... I have set up formations and spells in the small shop. If she wants to force her way in, it will not be easy."

Master Jia looked at the dozens of corpses behind him and asked, "Daozhang Li, what should we do now?"

At this time, the sky was already dark, the moon above the night sky had completely disappeared, and the mountains and forests could not be seen, only the cries of insects and birds could be heard.

Li Changsheng took a deep breath, and said: "We are in the light, and Grandma Guigu and the others are in the dark. This entire barren hill is their territory. The longer we stay here, the easier it is for us to fall into their trap. The most urgent task is to drive the corpses to the village before dawn."

After finishing speaking, Li Changsheng looked around the shop and said to Linglong, "Light the lantern and go ahead. Master Jia is in charge of holding the guiding bell and directing the corpse."

"Okay." Linglong and Master Jia nodded quickly.

Now, no matter what Li Changsheng said, Master Jia would do it. Having seen Li Changsheng's Taoism, Master Jia admired Li Changsheng extremely in his heart.

If he wanted to live safely in this barren mountain, he could only follow what Li Changsheng said.

It is very safe to stay in this small shop, but when the day breaks, the corpse will not be able to walk, so it is impossible to hide in this small shop forever.

The three of them left the small shop, drove all the corpses, and headed for the depths of the dense forest.

The silent night seemed more and more profound.

Along the way, the three of them were very careful, for fear of any accidents.

"Li Daochang... If the ghost mother-in-law doesn't show up, aren't we under her surveillance all the time?" Master Jia was old and experienced, so he naturally knew the powerful relationship, and asked along the way.

Li Changsheng frowned, he was also worried about the same.

If he was traveling by himself, then even in this barren mountain, he would not have the slightest fear, and Grandma Guigu couldn't do anything to him at all.But now Linglong and Master Jia are here, and there are still this pile of corpses. Even after sending the corpses back to the village, I have to worry about the ghost mother-in-law. There are so many people and things, Li Changsheng can't take care of them all. As long as the Ghost Gu mother-in-law is not wiped out for a day, it is very likely to endanger other innocent people.

Li Changsheng took a deep breath and said, "We can only take one step at a time. Now we can't find the old witch. Even if we want to deal with her, we have no choice but to live in this barren mountain, so we are very passive."

The mountain road at night is very difficult, especially at this moment, the three of them have entered the hinterland of the barren ridge, and the mountain road here is ten times more difficult than before.

Many mountain roads are not flat at all, with potholes, high and low, and along the way, there are also things like snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the road is very slow.

Fortunately, among the three of them, Master Jia often went in and out of the barren hills, and he was very familiar with the roads. With him around, a lot of things were saved.

After walking for more than an hour, the three of them heard the sound of the gurgling stream. Although the fog at night was very thick, they couldn't see the road ahead for a while, but when they heard the sound of the stream, Master Jia immediately understood the sound of the stream. where the person is.

Li Changsheng glanced at Master Jia at the side, and said, "How long will it take before we reach the village?"

Master Jia showed a dignified look on his face, and said: "There is still a distance from the village, but I heard the sound of the stream flowing in the mountains, as long as I go deeper for a while, there will be a place to rest. .”

"A place to rest?" Linglong said with a gleam of joy on her face, "Is this a small shop where corpse hunters rest?"

Master Jia was startled, but shook his head, and said: "How can there be so many small shops? There used to be many small shops in this barren hills for corpse hunters to rest, but now, there are not many of them. And the direction we are going, on this road, there is only one resting shop, which is the one where the accident happened."

Li Changsheng nodded slightly after listening, and said, "Then what are you referring to?"

Master Jia smiled lightly and said: "There is a dilapidated hut. I remember that in the early years, there were still people living in it. This hut is in the middle of the mountain, and it is inconvenient to get in and out. Later, the owner of the house left. It is said that he is going to the city. Well, when we drove the corpses, when we passed by that place at night, we would go in and have a rest."

Li Changsheng said, "In other words, an empty room?"

Master Jia nodded and said, "Yes."

Li Changsheng said: "It's okay... at least there is a place to rest. I guess it will not be far from dawn by then. It is also good to have a rest."

Master Jia showed a mysterious smile and said, "But don't be afraid later."

After finishing speaking, she looked towards Linglong.

Linglong was startled, then frowned, and said, "Master Jia, what do you mean?"

Master Jia said: "The hut was not inhabited later, and it became a resting place for corpse exorcisers, but... because of some things, some of the corpses that came and went were temporarily abandoned, and they were also thrown in the hut. I reckon...there is already a charity village now."

After hearing this, Linglong's expression changed.

Of course, she knew that Yizhuang was a place where people put corpses in ancient times, which is equivalent to the mortuary in hospitals in today's society.

Although the profession of expelling corpses sounds mysterious, not everyone who is engaged in this profession has such professional ethics.Many people inherited their father's work and learned this technique. At the beginning, they took on some jobs, and then when they were walking in the barren mountains, they found that it was not easy, so they gave up halfway, and some corpses would be buried. Abandoned in the mountains.

Because before expelling the corpses, special potions are needed to embalm the corpses, so the corpses abandoned in the mountains are often eaten by wild animals, but the corpses left in the hut are unharmed .

In ancient times, the people who performed this ancient business had some beliefs and ethics, but as the times changed, many people became impetuous and couldn't stand loneliness and boredom. Being ignored by more and more people.In the past, there would basically not be corpse exorcisers who gave up halfway after taking over the job, but now, this kind of thing often happens.
