My Taoist Career

Chapter 168: Raise the body

Views:

In this industry, there is such a rule that you must not look into the eyes of a dying person or a person who has just died, otherwise you will never forget that look in your life.

This was the first time for Sun Kui to come into contact with a dead person. When he touched the body of Third Young Master Zhao, the body was still warm and soft. He felt a little guilty and couldn't help but glance at Third Young Master Zhao's face. His eyes were not closed, as if he were staring at him, and Sun Kui broke out in a cold sweat.

He also instantly remembered the rule of never looking into the eyes. This rule had nothing to do with ghosts and gods, but would make people upset for a long time. At this time, Sun Kui realized that those eyes contained a kind of worldly feeling. The most desperate emotion!

Eyes that have lost their vitality, no eyes anymore, that dead silence, what else is it but despair

At this time, the two colleagues he had just seen had already walked away quickly carrying the corpse. He remembered the master's words that he could not delay. He did not dare to think too much at the moment, so he took out the cinnabar from his pocket and stuffed it into the deceased's nostrils. and his mouth, and then sealed a talisman given by the master between his mouth and nose, then he picked up the body and left quickly.

The dead man's body was extremely heavy to carry, and it was pressed against Sun Kui's back. Sun Kui could feel the body on his back getting colder and harder. This was not a pleasant experience, but fortunately Sun Kui was on his back. He is strong and strong. The place where Master is doing business is not too far from the execution ground. It has already arrived.

Pushing open the ajar door, Old Sun saw Sun Kui coming back and immediately went up to him and said, "Quick, put the body here."

The room was dark, with no furnishings except for two stools. The most conspicuous thing was the two door panels in the middle of the room, with six corpses placed neatly on the door panels.

Ordinary people would probably go crazy when they saw this battle, but Sun Kui was used to it. He placed the body of Third Young Master Zhao on the edge, then pulled up his clothes and wiped his sweat.

At this time, Old Sun had no time to pay attention to Sun Kui. Instead, he picked up a plate of cinnabar and drew a symbol on the chest, back, palms, soles of the feet, and forehead of Mr. Zhao's body.

Sun Kui watched the master do all this with great interest. He knew that among the three souls and seven souls, the soul dispersed the fastest. He blocked the mouth and nose of the deceased and put a sealing charm on it, just to seal the deceased's body. The last breath of Yang Qi, the last breath of Yang Qi does not dissipate, and the deceased can retain at least two souls.

However, this is also a temporary method. The body still has seven tricks that can disperse the soul. Those seven places are the places where the master just used cinnabar to draw the sealing symbol.

After drawing the seven symbols, Old Sun breathed a sigh of relief, called Sun Kui, pointed at the corpse and said: "Do you remember how to draw this symbol? You also know that our corpse-removing craftsmen have the so-called three-to-three Don't rush. The so-called "three rushes", in summary, refers to people who died with resentment. It is not necessarily limited to the special case of "three rushes". Only people with heavy grievances will not be willing to die, so their souls will disperse more slowly. , it becomes much easier for us to do things.”

Sun Kui knew that Master was taking the opportunity to teach him, so he nodded in agreement. Seeing Sun Kui's attitude, Sun Kui was satisfied. He took out seven talisman papers and pasted them on the seven places where he had just drawn the symbols. It was a relief.

The functions of these seven talisman papers are the same as the talisman paper that Sun Kui used to seal the mouth and nose of the corpse just now. They are both used to seal the town. However, if this is done, the corpse will easily transform into a corpse if it encounters any situation. It's not fun to become a zombie, so at night, when the moon rises, they have to start chasing away the corpses, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, just because it is really uncertain about the transformation of the corpse, and no one can find it. If you find a very certain rule, it will change if you say it will change.

Lao Sun was already resting aside, and he had to pick up the body at night. This step was very important, and he needed to rest his mind now.

Sun Kui was on the side, busy changing the clothes of the deceased. When driving the corpse, he could not hit strangers, and the appearance of the corpse was always terrifying, so it was better to cover it up.

The clothes were all changed into uniform black robes, and the face was covered with a bamboo hat. Sun Kui worked for a long time before he got a rest and changed clothes for the dead body with stiff limbs. It was really physical work.

After going to take a shower, Sun Kui put on a Taoist robe and a Hunyuan scarf worn by Taoist priests on his head, and then sat down next to his master to rest.

In fact, according to Master, they are not considered to be members of the Taoist sect and are not qualified to wear these clothes. However, because Taoist priests occasionally do the work of exorcising corpses, gradually, people are more accepting of the image of Taoist priests. As long as they wear the clothes When the bell rings, people will know that it is the corpse exorcist, and they will naturally retreat.

"Master, is it possible to catch seven corpses this time?" Sun Kui was a little worried. This is a technical job. The more people catch up, the greater the pressure.

"You have to do it even if it doesn't work. This time I am competing with others for first place. This is a reputation in the industry. He carries 5 tools, and I carry 7. I have to beat him." Lao Sun is not short of money. To a certain extent, what he wants is fame.

"Okay, Master, we will successfully complete this business." Sun Kuihan said with a smile.

Lao Sun glanced at his apprentice with emotion, and felt that he was not wrong. Corpse chasers were generally ugly, and so was his apprentice. But speaking of it, he had a very honest and kind heart. Compared with I don’t know how much better those handsome-looking people are!

Time passed very quickly, and it was already past 10 pm in the blink of an eye. The exhumation of the body usually started at 11 pm, so by this time Lao Sun had already started busy making preparations.

Sun Kui was preparing straw ropes. This time, the seven corpses had to be strung together to avoid losing any of them.

At this time, Lao Sun had already finished reciting the prayer of worship before raising the corpse. This prayer is a prayer that has been passed down orally from generation to generation by the exorcists. It is used to worship the soul of the deceased and to let the other three souls and five souls that have been scattered close to each other. Follow closely and return to our hometown together. The last meaning is that I am your guide. You cooperate well and don't cause trouble, brothers.

After reciting the prayer, Old Sun began to smear cinnabar on the necks of the corpses. Sun Kui was also helping. He could still do such a small thing. After smearing cinnabar, Old Sun put cinnabar on the necks of each corpse. After putting on a series of sealing talismans, he finally took out seven talismans with a solemn expression.

Speaking of sealing talisman, every corpse exorcist can draw these, and in the process of expelling corpses, they always have to prepare a large stack, because they have to be changed every two days, but when the corpse is lifted up, there is another one. The key talisman must be used.

This kind of talisman cannot be drawn by corpse exorcists. You have to find a reputable Taoist priest to buy it. Corpse exorcists call this talisman a divine talisman. In Taoism, this talisman is actually a talisman that enhances the power of the soul. The original soul of a dead person After being scattered, the two souls that were forcibly left behind are also very weak. Only by attaching this talisman can the remaining two souls be stimulated to work. This is actually a talisman equivalent to awakening the dead, so it is so important.

The explanation is very simple. Only by strengthening the remaining two souls can the corpse move like a living person. Because there are only two souls left, the corpse has almost lost its five senses and only barely retains a little hearing. Therefore, the corpse chaser must use Ring the bell to lead the way.

This is a typical walking dead, because without the three souls, this person's memory, wisdom, etc. have all been stripped away.

After attaching the magic talismans, Lao Sun tied these talismans with a five-color rope. Why use five colors? Because in the understanding of the corpse exorcist, nothing can be separated from the five elements. These five colors represent the five elements. With the power of the five elements, the talisman can operate freely.

This is an act that provides more psychological comfort than practical significance.

"Sun Kui, has the time come?" After doing all this, Old Sun rested for a few minutes and then asked Sun Kui.

Sun Kui nodded seriously and said, "Master, it's almost time."

At this time, Lao Sun stood up, and Sun Kui quickly went to open the door. When he lifted up the body before, his master wouldn't let him see it, but this time he wanted to see it no matter what.

After opening the door, Sun Kui saw that Lao Sun pricked the middle finger of his left hand, and then passed the bloody middle finger in front of each corpse. There was some movement on the corpse, and Lao Sun quickly ran away and used paper. He hugged his middle finger and shouted very loudly: "Get up!"

The most unforgettable scene in Sun Kui's life appeared. The seven corpses stood up neatly.
