Hua Maguai is good at observing words and expressions.
After he finished speaking, he saw Luo Laowai's reaction and knew what was going on.
Then he smiled and said: "It is reasonable to say that there are zombies in the yizhuang.
It's strange.
The reason is that the corpse poison is not visible on the face of Second Aunt Mouse, and it seems that the corpse poison was poured into her mouth after she died.
She is blind and ignorant, how dare she show her embarrassment in front of the two great masters, the boss and Luo Shuai. " Luo Laowai was waiting for him to say this, and told Huamaguai to listen clearly.
It turns out that the custom of Laoxiong Ridge in western Hunan is strange.
Seven days before a person dies, corpse poison is poured into the body and placed behind the door.
This is called " Stand stiffly."
All zombies, no matter why they die but do not freeze for whatever reason, must have corpse poison in their bodies.
If there is no secret method of "standing stiff", the corpse will rot and deteriorate on its own before it can be driven back to its hometown.
Except for Chen Xiazi, the other three people only heard the name of expelling corpses in Xiangxi, but did not know the actual facts.
At this time, Luo Laowai said it, and they suddenly felt enlightened.
Sure enough, their curiosity aroused, and the rainy night was long and boring. , I would like to ask Luo Shuai to teach me the secret.
Luo Laowai wanted to take the opportunity to brag about his experience in front of Miss Hong, and he did not refuse at the moment.
He was most familiar with the matter of corpse removal, because he had been a craftsman of corpse removal in the early years.
At that time, I was too poor to survive in Shandong. , I came to Hunan to seek relatives and friends, but when I got there, I found out that my distant relatives had died long ago.
I had no money or refuge, and because of my ugly appearance, I didn’t look like a kind person at first glance.
I wanted to find a place to work as an apprentice and work as a coolie.
No one wants it.
In desperation, I had no choice but to enter the green forest road and do some activities of killing the rich and giving to the poor.
The so-called "rob the rich and give to the poor" is just a nice word, because for the poor and poor, it is difficult to get any benefit from robbing and killing them, and it also avoids disaster.
A bad name among the people.
But he came from another province and didn't know the local customs, so he couldn't stand at all.
Finally, someone pointed out a way for him to become a corpse exorcist.
When a corpse exorcist accepts an apprentice, he must meet three conditions: first, he must be bold, second, he must be ugly, and third, he must not marry for the rest of his life.
In western Hunan, most corpse exorcisms are done in Dao gates.
In Chenzhou, Xiangxi, which is rich in cinnabar, there are two Dao gates, namely "Hu Zhai Lei Tan" and "Jin Zhai Lei Tan".
The business of exorcising corpses has always belonged to these two thunder altars.
To run the business under his sect, Mr.
Luo Wai worshiped an old man named Jin and learned the secret technique of exorcizing corpses from Jin Zhai Lei Tan.
In Xiangxi, Hunan, there have been mysterious legends such as "sending corpses, falling into caves, and releasing poisonous insects" since ancient times.
Among them, sending corpses is called "driving corpses" because the mountains in western Hunan are rugged and there are no roads at all in many places.
There are many merchants from the north who traffic in wood and make huge profits.
Most of them tie up the giant trees taken by rafts in the river during the flood season and go south along the river.
The merchants follow the rafts down the river.
After finishing their business, they return through the mountains and ridges.
Township.
Because bandits are rampant in Yidong, there are many poisonous insects, and various diseases spread.
There are foreign merchants who are not accustomed to the climate.
Once they get sick or are robbed, they often die on the way.
Merchant merchants from other provinces were very sympathetic to the plight of their dead colleagues, so they pooled their money to build a charity house and hired corpse exhumation craftsmen so that the dead could return to their roots and bury their bones back to their hometowns.
Speaking of this Xiangxi corpse extermination, it is really famous.
It is so legendary that people in the world change their expressions when talking about it and fear it like a tiger.
In fact, the official name of this strange art has been called "the art of sending corpses" since ancient times.

In modern times, there is a saying of "driving corpses away".
Westerners call it "the art of expelling corpses".
In the eyes of foreigners, this kind of thing is even more mysterious.
Westerners have "hypnosis", which is also called "hypnosis".
The reason why they call it so is probably to hypnotize corpses.
Because of the mixed mix of Yi and Han people in western Hunan and the special geographical environment, countless dangerous rock peaks rise out of thin air.
The peaks and pillars stretch one after another and reach the south sky.
The terrain is difficult and dangerous.
There are no roads deep in the mountains.
After death, people are carried back to their hometown for burial.
This is not very realistic.
This requires a "corpse transporter" to deliver the corpses.
However, in some places, the corpse transporters only go once every six months, waiting for more dead people to be transported together.
The deceased has been dead for a long time and will inevitably decay.
In that era, cremation was still frowned upon and methods such as urns were never considered.
Therefore, anyone who wanted to be sent back to his hometown to rest in peace must first try to make a zombie.
This is A prerequisite.
How to make a corpse zombie?
If you want people to die without decay, you can pour mercury into the corpse.
However, this method is relatively expensive and cannot be used by ordinary people.
It will also damage the organs of the corpse.
Some people use folk secrets.
When they have a premonition that their time is running out, they start to take a small amount of arsenic regularly.
Of course, the dosage is very small.
The arsenic is mixed with Ningluo Dan, and also added with Gucao, Shan Yin purple grass and other exotic herbs, these things only With the right proportion, it will not cause much harm to the human body while the person is still alive.
However, once the person stops breathing and the Qi and blood solidify, they will become stiff and incorruptible, turning into a kind of zombie made by medicine.
That's why they have to bury several corpses on the door panel.
On the same day, it was moved into the coffin after it was completely rigid.
Poisoning after death is not impossible, but the preservation of the corpse is a little worse and it is easy to stink.
The corpse of the second aunt Mouse in Yizhuang was poured with poison after death and stood "stiff" behind the door panel.
The mystery of sending corpses in Xiangxi, unless you are a person who has worked as a corpse transporter, outsiders have no way of knowing what is going on in this business, because this business is extremely mysterious, and the techniques used in it have never been spread to outsiders.
In the Taoist sect, there is no mention of driving away corpses and sending them away.
Those are all called by outsiders.
People in the Taoist sect call them "water driving skills".
"Water-repelling Technique" is the official general name, and the code word in the underworld is "a bowl of water."
It is unlucky to bump into the team carrying corpses.
Things like lighting up the green forest road are called "hitting the water", and now it also refers to It means "confronting evil spirits and ghosts" because in the actual process of sending a corpse, the method relies entirely on a bowl of water, and only two people must go together to be effective.
The two of them walked in tandem, with one corpse carrier holding a cloth banner in front and using alchemy to guide the procession, while the other carried a bowl of water and walked at the end.
No matter how many corpses were transported on this trip, those corpses would always walk in the middle of the procession. , and sent the corpse craftsman to hold it front and back.
The two corpse-carriers are called "the one holding the flag" and the other "the one holding the water."
In this line of work, the one holding the water is the most important role.
After walking for a while, a charm is added to the water bowl.
This charm It is the "Burning Talisman and Gathering Water to Awaken the Soul": it opens the heaven, makes people live forever, and three The seven souls return to the spirit and return to the infant.
The three souls are on the left, and the seven souls are on the right.
They listen quietly to God's orders, but they are not aware of anything.

No one sees them when they are walking, and no one knows when they are sitting.
They are as urgent as the law.
This talisman must be "Xiangxi" "Chenzhou Talisman", if it is replaced by another Taoist talisman, it will not work at all.
As long as the water bowl in the hand holding the water is not spilled and broken, the body will not fall over.
During the process of delivering the body, the dead body is no different from the living person, except that it cannot speak, and its walking posture is slightly different from that of the living person.
It completely follows the person holding the flag.
The person holding the flag moves and the dead person walks, and the person holding the flag stops.
Even the dead stop.
This kind of corpse-delivery team was so common in Xiangxi in the late Ming Dynasty.
There is a Hunan proverb that goes, "Three people stay in the hotel, two people eat." dead.
The day before the corpse transport team is about to arrive at the deceased's hometown, the deceased will entrust his dream to his family, and the family will immediately collect the coffin and prepare it.
As soon as the corpse arrives home, it will stand in front of the coffin.
The water bearer will pour the water on it, and the corpse will be poured into the coffin immediately.
At this time, it is necessary to bury the deceased quickly, otherwise the corpse will change immediately and show the shape of decay.
If it has been dead for a month, the degree of decomposition of a normal person after one month of death will immediately appear.
In fact, the strange magic of this bowl of water was an activity in the early years.
By the Qianlong period, it had been lost.
The reason for its loss was probably that it was too secretive.
There were fewer and fewer people who knew this secret skill.
The most knowledgeable people only know this roughly, and the principle of carrying water to deliver corpses is even more difficult to explain.
Until the time of Guangxu, in order to seek huge profits, many people trafficked in the opium produced in Guizhou, and they came up with the idea of walking corpses to deliver water.
They took advantage of the people's fear of sending corpses and used them as a cover to resell opium, soil and arms.
Sending corpses as cover is very different from the practice of sending corpses in ancient times, but it is more mysterious.
Although Luo Laowai did not learn the secret art of delivering corpses at that time, he used his identity as a corpse exorcist to traffic in illegal goods.
This is how he made a fortune, and finally became a big warlord running rampant in Hunan.
Therefore, Luo Laowai was obsessed with the ugly female corpse.
He was so relieved because he and Blind Chen knew very well that the corpses in the village had all been filled with antiseptic medicine to make them stiff, so it was impossible for them to transform into corpses.
The dead people accumulated here will be the human skin pockets of those who drive corpse traffickers to smuggle goods in the future.
However, after those people use the dead to traffic in black goods, they will also find ways to return the corpses to their hometown for burial.
This is not benevolent and moral. , but if not, in the future There is no way to use "corpse removal" as a pretense to scare people.
The natives don't know the inside story of corpse removal, so they are afraid of it.
Moreover, corpse transporters are all doing this as a profession, so naturally they are not willing to tell others the details easily.
Therefore, it seems even more crooked and mysterious.
Hua Maguai, Miss Hong and others were all amazed when they heard this.
Even though Mr.
Luo had a crooked mouth, crooked eyes, and behaving in a vulgar manner, he also did everything from "eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, murder, and arson," but he knew these folk secrets.
With such details, he is indeed a warlord leader who threatens one party, and he is the brother of the Xiling Pirate Leader.
It seems that he has his own merits.
Huamaguai quickly raised his thumb and flattered him: "Brilliant, really brilliant.
Luo Shuai is originally from a Taoist sect.
No wonder he has such a genius."
Luo Laowai took two sips of soju and looked very proud.
However, in front of the bandit leader Chen Xiazi, he couldn't show off too much.
He laughed at himself: "What a bastard.
What kind of genius is this?

I'm learning to drive corpses."
I was too young, and my master didn't learn even 10% of his 10% skills.
He often pretended to understand.
I heard from my adjutant that recently, someone in the south came to study.
The gentleman who asked the question wrote a good article.
He said that there was no understanding in the world at first, but as more people pretended to understand, they gradually began to understand.
What the gentleman said was reasonable.
In the future, I will invite him to come and talk about it. , Give me, Lao Luo, more of his grandma’s knowledge to pretend to understand.”
After saying that, he tilted his lips and shook his head with a smile, and drank every last drop of the pot of shochu
