The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 159
Ma Po said that whether it is a fox or a weasel, the favorite thing to eat is chicken.

So if you want to send that fox fairy away, you have to use the chicken as an inducement.

Ma Po said that this fox is one of the most insatiable animals. It eats at most one or two chickens at a time, but it often kills a whole brood of chickens.

Use the fattest hens, twelve in total.Since Yure's family was in charge of the business, these chickens were all made by Yure himself, so Xia Xiangxi didn't need to worry about it.

He chose to act at the fullest time of the fifteenth month, and went to a remote mountain and valley far away from the stockade. Xia Xiangxi followed Ma Po's instructions and did it step by step accurately. When Xia Xiangxi saw that all twelve chickens had been killed, He knew that the fox fairy had appeared.At this time, she only needs to sprinkle the incense ash dedicated to the gods and Buddhas on the fox fairy statue.

Vaguely, Xia Xiangxi saw two dark green eyes of resentment, and then disappeared with a white light,
Xia Xiangxi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the fox fairy could no longer sit on the fox fairy statue, and had to go back to the mountains.

Just when Xia Xiangxi finished his work smoothly and was about to go back to the village, he heard a crisp ringing of "Ding Lingling", or because in this quiet valley, the ringing sounded like a soul-twitching charm.Out of curiosity, Xia Xiangxi searched for the sound.

After climbing up a small hill, Xia Xiangxi could see clearly that in the valley in front of her, there was actually a person wearing a straw hat with a big brim and holding a white lantern to lead the way, and all the people behind her were jumping. A weirdo walking on a hop.

Is it a corpse?Xia Xiangxi saw the few people behind who couldn't walk and could only jump, and suddenly thought of the most famous leader of the three evils in Xiangxi, "Killing the Corpse".

Chasing corpses was generally prevalent in ancient times, and after liberation, such occupations basically disappeared.

The reason for expelling corpses is that most Chinese people respect leaves to return to their roots, and wanderers who died in other places must be buried in their ancestors' tombs according to their own wishes;

Such a thing as driving corpses is only available in Xiangxi in the whole country.According to the literature: Most of the western Hunan area is high and steep, and the roads are rugged, which is very inconvenient for pedestrians. If you want to carry the coffin and transport the corpse back to the hometown, it will be very troublesome.Many people who work here to make a living entrust their relatives and friends to transport their corpses back to their hometown for burial before they die, so as not to be buried in this desolate mountain.In order to avoid carrying the coffin on bumpy roads in the mountains, this unique method of "carrying corpses" came into being.

The origin of expelling corpses is that Chi You, the ancestor of the Miao nationality, took pity on the soldiers who died in the battlefield, and ordered the military master to use magic to drive away the corpses of many soldiers who died in battle. Help those who were wrongfully killed by the government drive their corpses back to their hometowns. (Note: Lao Si is a respectful title for priests, which means wizard.)
In addition, there are also rules for driving corpses.

There is a saying "Three to chase, and three not to chase" when chasing corpses.

Those who were beheaded (whose heads must be sewn together), those who were hanged, and those who died standing in cages could be expelled.The reason is that they were all forced to die. They died unconvinced. They missed their hometown and loved ones. They could use spells to hook their souls, use spells to suppress their respective corpses, and then use spells to drive them to climb mountains and mountains, even Board the boat and cross the water to return home.

Those who died of illness, those who died voluntarily by throwing themselves into the river and hanged by their necks, and those who lost their limbs due to thunder and fire, these three cannot be chased away.Among them, the souls of those who died of illness have been hooked away by Hades, and their souls cannot be called back from the gate of hell by magic; while the souls of those who were thrown into the river and hanged by the neck were "replaced" and entangled, and they may be handing over. A new soul is recruited, and the old dead soul cannot be replaced. Wouldn't it affect the rebirth of the old soul?In addition, those who died due to lightning were all sinners, while those who died in fire were often incomplete, and these two types of corpses could not be chased away.

After liberation, exorcising corpses gradually disappeared. Except for a special period of background that completely killed such activities, on the other hand, the war subsided, people did not need backgrounds to leave their hometowns to make a living, and people who died unjustly also gradually disappeared.Those old companies have no "corpse" to drive away, causing the industry of corpse removal to gradually disappear from the public eye.

Xia Xiangxi never imagined that he would see the extinct corpse in the middle of the night.It's just that she remembered the legend about exorcising corpses that said that the exorcising corpses are usually made by two people, the master and the apprentice. They don't light lanterns, and shake a soul-absorbing bell in their hands. People lock up the dog.But looking at the corpse exorcist in front of him, he was holding a white paper lantern in his hand, and he was only shaking the soul-absorbing bell in his hand, and there was no master or apprentice to help him beat the gong.

Xia Xiangxi was amazed by the extinct zombies, she wanted to find out, so she secretly followed the group of zombies.

When people have something to do, they tend to ignore the time and distance. When they suddenly come to their senses, they realize that "wow" it has been so long, or so far away.It's not like when you're bored, it feels like a year has passed even after a minute.

At this time, Xia Xiangxi belonged to the former. She didn't know how long she had followed the group of zombies in front of her. When she stopped, she saw that the moon, which was originally at nine o'clock in the morning, had already arrived at one o'clock in the afternoon.However, no matter how far you go in Xiangxi, you are not afraid of getting lost.It's not that she is familiar with walking around in this mountain. The mountain is so big that even the Miao people who live here dare not say that they can walk all over any mountain or valley.Xia Xiangxi just learned to be smart. Before she walked a distance, she would tear off the branches of some small trees to mark them. With these marks, Xia Xiangxi didn't have any worries, and she still followed the group of zombies in front of her.

It may be almost to the destination by now, and the zombie team has slowed down.

This place is a valley facing south and facing north, the hillside on the back is gentle, and there are densely packed and crooked tombstones all over it.The tombstones near the foot of the mountain are shorter and the tombs are smaller, and the higher the tombs are, the bigger the tombs are.It should be the cemetery of some wealthy people.Compared with the tomb at the foot of the mountain, it is also much more imposing.

In just a split second, those tombs on the hillside became families. If Xia Xiangxi hadn't been paying attention without blinking, and was vigilant, he would have become a village!
White clothes are the most eye-catching on a moonlit night. Xia Xiangxi watched a woman in white walking slowly down the hillside that had turned into a village with a red lantern, facing the zombie team leading the way with a white Lantern's boss said with some complaints: "Why is it so late? My master is waiting impatiently."

The old secretary respectfully replied: "I encountered a little trouble on the road, so I had to take a detour, so I was late. Please, please give your master a few words." After finishing speaking, he handed over the thing that was shining in the moonlight to that woman.The woman's tone changed immediately, and she agreed to give the old Si a favor.

Afterwards, Lao Si rang the Dementor Bell and continued walking up the hillside.

Xia Xiangxi was a little wary of that female ghost carrying a red lantern, and ordinary ghosts would not carry a red lantern.Red things are festive things in the world. Whenever there is bad luck in the family, posting some red paper-cuts, hanging red lanterns, etc., can sweep away the bad luck at home.Such things hurt the evil spirit of ghosts. Except for the red-clothed ghosts, ordinary ghosts are against red things.Xia Xiangxi saw that the female ghost was carrying a red lantern, and felt that the person that the boss was going to meet later might have a stronger cultivation.

Xia Xiangxi originally came here out of curiosity, and didn't think about casting ghosts.In addition, there is a law of balance between wizards and the ghost world. Except for fierce ghosts that hurt people, wild ghosts that harm people, and other haunted ghosts, they cannot be caught or killed casually.Killing a ghost that should not be killed is tantamount to arbitrarily taking over the jurisdiction of the ghost world.Will be backlashed, and will suffer all kinds of hardships in the underworld after death.

So for a while, Xia Xiangxi hesitated, wondering if he should stay and continue to investigate.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Xiangxi still felt that he would continue to follow, otherwise the long journey would be in vain.

When those zombies were jumping, there was a heavy "bang bang" sound in the valley. This kind of noise made the originally dark ghost houses light up one by one, and more ghosts came out.A dark patch.Xia Xiangxi was terrified immediately, it was the first time she had seen so many ghosts, and she was lying if she said she wasn't afraid.In order to avoid being discovered, Xia Xiangxi hastily pasted a yellow talisman on her body, so that it would not be easy for those ghosts to see her.She herself has a fate of full yin, so there is no need to worry about the yang that smells her body.

Xia Xiangxi was still hiding at the foot of the mountain. Most of the hillsides were graves, and there were no trees except weeds. Xia Xiangxi could see everything clearly as long as he looked up at the foot of the mountain.

That is to say, after walking a short distance up the hillside, the boss stopped with the zombies.The place where they stand is a flat and open place, somewhat like those threshing grounds in the village.There is also a stage set up on it, but the height is shorter than those of the big canopy theaters in the countryside, and there is no tarpaulin to prevent rain and sun.

Lao Si shook the soul-destroying bell and led the zombies onto the stage.

Xia Xiangxi was a little surprised, thinking that these zombies could not be jugglers!
