arrogant less

"What's going on?" Chen Xiao asked hastily.

The old man's face was serious for a while, he pinched his fingers, and took a serious look at the moonlight outside.He said solemnly: "It's not good, today is the fifteenth day, when the moon is full, the Yin energy is at its peak. These corpses may feel the Yin energy pouring out from the bottom of their feet, which is why they appear so excited."

"The corpse also has feelings?" Chen Ling asked in shock.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have believed that these dead people could still jump, and they could jump excitedly when the yin energy was strong, which made Chen Ling a little astonished.Chen Xiao looked at the old man suspiciously, and asked, "Old man, why is this happening?"

"I forgot to tell you that we walkers have a special ability, which is revive!" The old man smiled and said, "The higher the walker's ability to revive, the stronger your strength will be. The more souls you get, then he is not only a corpse that can jump, but can even protect you!"

"It's really unheard of!" Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"There are too few people in this industry!" The old man sighed, and said helplessly, "I am sixty now, but I haven't found a successor. Now this society advocates anti-feudalism and anti-superstition, let's go Those with feet can only walk around in Hunan."

"Why don't you accept me as an apprentice?" Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Anyway, you can't find a suitable person. If you can accept me as an apprentice, maybe your craft can be passed on what!"

The old man thought for a while and said, "Then do you have a written statement from your parents?"

"Stop talking, my parents are not in this world anymore!" Chen Xiao shook her head helplessly.

"Then it won't work, the rules of our industry are like this, and there is an unwritten rule that doesn't apply to you!" The old man stood up, took out a few more runes and pasted them on the corpses. the back of the head.Those screaming corpses quickly quieted down, with pale faces hanging down, motionless.Chen Xiao asked curiously: "What rules don't suit me?"

"Whoever joins our profession must have an ugly appearance!" The old man smiled lightly, and said, "I think you have a good face, and you have a similar style. Therefore, you are not suitable!"

"It's so profound, isn't it because I'm too handsome!" Chen Xiao grinned and said, "Really, is it wrong that I'm too handsome? Follow those dead rules? Besides, people are alive, but rules are dead."

The old man still refused to let go, Chen Xiao kept persuading him from the sidelines.However, the old man's eyes lit up when Chen Ling mentioned using two bottles of high-quality Moutai wine as a teacher's apprenticeship ceremony.As a pedestrian, the income is not high.Moutai is such a precious thing, I am afraid they can only watch it from a distance.This time, a rich apprentice like Chen Xiao was on the list, and the old man immediately agreed.

"You have to pay homage to your teacher first, come on!" The old man stood up, took three cigarettes from his pocket, lit them, handed them to Chen Xiao, and said, "We first pay homage to the patriarch."

"Old man, do you know who the Patriarch is?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.

"Ghost King Zhong Xu!" The old man glared at Chen Xiao.Chen Xiao suddenly realized that it's no wonder that if you are looking for an ugly one, you are afraid that if you are too handsome, the patriarch Zhong Xu will not bless you.Chen Xiao hurriedly bowed three times, which was considered a formal introduction.The first lesson the old man gave him was standing posture.The so-called standing power is the ability to make a corpse walk.All the apprentices of walkers must learn 36 exercises.

"Old man, you said that there are 36 pieces of work, but they are actually combined into one piece, that is, talisman making!" Chen Xiao said: "The talisman is finished, just use your mind to drive them to walk, and let them follow you. "

"That's right, your comprehension is much higher than mine!" The old man showed a gratified smile.

"Then... are there any taboos for us walkers?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.

"Yes!" The old man nodded solemnly, looked at Chen Xiao, and said, "We have 'three times to drive' and 'three things not to drive'!"

"How to say?" Chen Xiao became interested. He seemed to be very interested in these unorthodox things.

"The so-called three evictions are those who were beheaded, hanged, and died standing up! Because they were all forced to die, and they died unconvinced. They missed their hometown and loved ones, and their souls can be hooked away by magic. , put spells inside their respective corpses, and then use spells to drive them to climb mountains and ridges, and even board boats to return to their hometowns." The old man turned to look at the corpses behind him, and said: "There are two people here who were killed The shooting was carried out, and the family members brought the body back through their connections, and then asked me to take it back. There was another person who accidentally fell off the scaffolding and died."

"Then why don't you rush?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.

"Those who died of illness, those who died voluntarily by throwing themselves into the river, and those whose limbs were incomplete after being burned by thunder and fire cannot be chased away. Among them, the souls of those who died of illness have been taken away by Hades, and we cannot call their souls back from the gate of hell; However, the souls of those who threw themselves into the river and hanged their necks were "replaced", and they may be handing over. If a new soul is recruited, the old dead soul cannot be replaced, and it will affect the reincarnation of the old soul. The corpses that died on the battlefield, later on, helped those who were unjustly killed by the government to return to their hometowns." The old man told Chen Ling about the rules of this industry seriously, and Chen Ling listened with great interest.However, if the old man knew that Chen Xiao was listening to it as a story, how would he feel?I guess I have the heart to die.

At three o'clock in the morning, the old man said with a smile: "Let's go, we should hurry. If you hadn't delayed me for so long, I'm afraid I would have arrived at the next town."

"Yeah!" Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Why don't you just let me catch up this time!"

The old man looked at Chen Ling in astonishment, and said, "You've just started, how can you drive away corpses?"

"Try it!" Chen Xiao laughed and said, "Anyway, you've already finished the rune, all I have to do is try to rush away!"

"Okay, you come!" The old man knew that Chen Xiao was strong, but he didn't know how Chen Xiao's consciousness was.If the consciousness is strong, it can also be used to drive away corpses.However, what happened next shocked the old man.

Those corpses floated up together, and rushed towards Chen Ling one by one.Chen Xiao was shocked: "****, what's going on."

Seeing that he was about to be thrown down, Chen Ling ran forward resolutely. However, before he could run far, the corpses floated past again, resembling the weird shadows in ghost movies.The old man hurriedly said, "You are using too much force."

Chen Xiao hurriedly relaxed his consciousness, and sure enough, those vacated corpses landed safely, but each one of them jumped forward quickly, as if springs were installed on their feet, the speed was comparable to that of a robot.Chen Xiao adjusted his consciousness again, making those strange corpses slow down slowly.Only then did it catch up to the normal speed.

"Fuck, you scared me to death!" Chen Ling swallowed, the scene that happened just now almost failed to scare Chen Ling's seven souls and six souls out.

"Haha... I really found a superb apprentice!" The old man was very excited, and said, "I didn't expect your mind power to be so strong. It really is the waves behind the Yangtze River that push the waves ahead."

"Qianlang died on the beach!" Chen Ling replied angrily, "I didn't notify me in advance, I almost died on this."

"How did I know your power of thought is so strong?" The old man complained to Chen Xiao, saying: "At first I thought you hadn't cultivated power of thought. If you didn't have power of thought, you wouldn't be able to drive these corpses forward. The walking man's power of thought is very strong. It's also the reason why the spell I cast is so vicious. Ordinary people can't lift it at all, they can only be tortured to death slowly by this spell."

"Old man, don't you have any special regulations in your profession?" Chen Xiao looked at him curiously, and said, "You can cast spells on ordinary people at will!"

"Of course!" The old man nodded, and said: "There are so few people walking around now, even if they get off, I don't know. What's more, I am punishing them, not using such means to make profits. I have not violated the rules! "

Chen Xiao didn't bother to continue arguing, anyway, the matter had already passed, so there was no point in continuing to pursue it.After in-depth understanding, apart from being somewhat paranoid and stubborn, this old man is basically a kind little old man.So, everything needs a deep understanding, otherwise you will not find the root of things.Just like Aunt Zhang, she seemed to be a family with a kind mother and love, but she didn't know that her son was the bully of the town, and her mother was also a gossip, no wonder the old man would attack her son.

The master and the apprentice continued on their way. There was a small copper gong hanging on the old man's chest, which was called Yin Gong.After knocking, everyone in Xiangxi knew that it was the corpse chaser who came, and every household would close their doors to avoid it and lock up their dogs.Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Old man, aren't you tired of walking like this every day? It's hundreds of kilometers."

"I'm used to it." The old man took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I've been away for more than 40 years."

"Then what interesting things have you encountered?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.

"Interesting thing?" The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Once when I passed by a cemetery, I saw a couple of dogs and men having an affair, and I immediately drove the corpses away." Go over, and then scare them into fainting, hey, next time I will take advantage of it!"

Puchi...

Chen Xiao laughed so hard on the spot, this old man is really cheap, he used such a vicious method to scare the two of them into unconsciousness, and even took advantage of the danger to fuck that woman, I'll fuck it.Chen Xiao said with a smile: "You are really a top-notch one. I laughed so hard!"

"What's the matter." The old man took a drag on his cigarette disdainfully, and said, "That woman is so lewd and slutty, since others can fuck her, why can't I?"

"Bandit logic!" Chen Xiao didn't bother to argue with him.

"But that was more than 20 years ago!" The old man seemed nostalgic.Originally, Chen Ling thought that the old man was very repentant in his heart, even if he didn't repent, he felt somewhat sad or guilty, but what he said next left Chen Ling speechless.The old man said leisurely: "I never encountered such a good thing after that. Alas, it's a pity that every time I walk, I will take a detour from that cemetery to see if I can meet wild mandarin ducks again! "
