Chapter 36: The Causeway Opens the Way

The Corpse-Driving TaoistChapter 37

Before entering the village, Taoist Master Qingfeng took out a gong and struck the gong sound inherent to corpse catchers, this was to remind the early risers in the village to avoid, especially cats and dogs and other animals should be hidden, so as not to scare people, or to avoid letting those animals come across the corpses to trigger necrophilia.

The sound of the gong, the sound stretches on and on, in this moment of dawn, seems to have a kind of magic power to make people scared, not to mention that no one in the village at this time, even if there are people, hear this kind of sound, will certainly be scared to run back to the house, with the quilt cover their heads, lying on the quilt and shivering, because everyone knows that, to catch the corpse of the Taoist priest came, he led a group of jumping and jumping horror of the corpses into their village, the people who see these bodies will be stained, and let the corpse of a corpse, the people who see these corpses will be very scared of the corpses. Anyone who sees these corpses will be tainted with bad luck and will be unlucky for a long time, so naturally no one dares to look at them for fear of avoiding them.

As to see the corpse will not be contaminated with bad luck, or even bad luck for a long time, Wu Feng once asked the master for advice, the master is this answer to him; the reason why to tell others, in order to let other people on our body catcher to produce a sense of fear, avoiding far away, one is afraid of frightening people, and secondly, for fear of disturbing the corpse, triggering the mutation of corpses, once there is a walk at night bumped into the body catcher, was scared to death on the spot, the precedent, so the grandmaster listed a list of the corpse, the corpse will not be seen. Therefore, the ancestor made a rule that when driving a corpse, it is necessary to open the way with a gong to warn people to avoid. And spread the word that encountering a corpse-driver is bad luck, and over time, this has become a well-known thing.

In fact, before the corpse of the ancestor said these words are not unreasonable, the corpse is generally with a lot of corpses to catch the night road, those corpses in the night time, but also seems unusually eerie, bizarre and inexplicable, if the people walking at night encountered, is bound to be a bit of a shock, back home, there may be because of the shock of the birth of a disease, provoked a lot of right and wrong, therefore, said to be contaminated with bad luck is not too much.

After the gong sounded a few times, far away, Wu Feng saw a dry and thin figure, picking a red lantern, slowly walked towards their side.

Not long ago, that dry and thin figure came closer and closer, Wu Feng saw his appearance, it turned out to be an old man of about sixty years old, he was hunched over, his hair and beard were already white, his armpit was also holding a gong that was much smaller than the master's hand, and he was supposed to be a watchman to beat the night watchman.

The old man smiled and walked closer and closer, straight to the Qingfeng Taoist head in front, very familiar greeting:So it is the Qingfeng Taoist head over, our brother and sister can not see for a few days, recently can be good?"

Qingfeng Taoist very polite with the old man saluted, smiled:Poor Taoist path your treasure land, much disturbance, but also please old brother more to bear with, do not know the village of righteousness village is vacant? The poor Taoist and his disciple would like to borrow it for a day."

That old man hit the lantern and carefully looked at Daoist Qingfeng and Wu Feng twice, seeing that both of their clothes were torn and stained with a lot of blood, he was suddenly startled and asked, "Daoist Qingfeng, are you guys injured? It looks like the injuries are not light, I wonder what kind of changes have been encountered?"

Qingfeng Taoist long laughed, casually lied and said, "It doesn't matter, just met a leopard on the road, was hurt a little bit by that beast, fortunately just some skin wounds, no big problem."
