Walking in the forest at night, with only a dim lantern for illumination, Sun Kui finally realized how unpalatable it was to be a corpse exorcist. Not only did he deal with the dead, but he also had to walk at night. He rested during the day and walked at night. Not to mention, we have to walk in a remote place. This mountain road is difficult to walk.
Sun Kui was walking at the end, holding a lantern in his hand. Old Sun was ringing a bell and repeatedly chanting an obscure mantra. He was walking at the front, and in the middle were seven corpses hanging up with straw ropes. If you just observe carefully while walking, you will see that their body movements are very inflexible. If they bump into each other, Sun Kui has to catch them. You can't bring a scarred body to someone else's family, right
Under normal circumstances, some body protection things will be tied to the limbs.
This road belongs to the corpse exorcists. It has been formed over thousands of years. On weekdays, only ordinary people walk during the day. There are almost no strangers at night. Lao Sun walked on this road. They have been very familiar with it for decades. Unlike the first time Sun Kui walked, he found the mountain road so difficult that he felt he could walk out with his eyes closed.
The lonely ringing of bells and the faint spell sounded particularly permeating in this night. Sun Kui was walking at the end and couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart. Even though Lao Sun had explained to him, the meaning of this spell was nothing more than that. It means to follow and go home.
Feeling the horror, Sun Kui didn't dare to stare at the back of the corpse in front of him. As he hurried on in silence, a small patch of fish belly white appeared in the sky, and the moon was about to set.
Lao Sun said that if you can't reach a special morgue inn today, you can only find a shady place to rest in the mountains. As for the corpse, it should be placed behind a large backlit stone, covered with leaves. Something to block it.
Sun Kui didn't want to stay in the wilderness. It seemed that the master had the same idea. The master and the apprentice were already speeding up their pace. As long as the moon went down completely, no matter what the weather was, they had to stop. This is the rule. If it rains, How miserable must it be to sleep rough in the mountains
Just as Sun Kui was immersed in walking, he suddenly heard the master walking in front shout: "Bring the dead strangers home, and avoid the strangers." As he spoke, the bell rang louder.
Sun Kui was shocked. Master said that he had met strangers only a handful of times during his many years of driving corpses. How could he meet strangers the first time he drove corpses
In fact, corpse exterminators are also quite afraid of meeting strangers, and sometimes they avoid them, and others point their fingers at them and scold them, and they even have to yell, making people feel miserable.
Just as Sun Kui was thinking about it, he heard a deep voice coming from the road ahead: "It's okay for you to pass by. Our master and disciples are not taboo about this."
With this shout, not only Sun Kui, but also Lao Sun showed a look of gratitude. Their line of work earned a lot of money, but they were not well received and respected by ordinary people. Ordinary people were afraid of them and tabooed them. , avoiding them and not giving them any respect at all.
Although the words of the person shouting in front were simple, Sun Kui and Lao Sun could hear the calmness and respect in his words. This was the first time. It was inevitable for them to be moved when they heard such words.
Since the people in front said this, Lao Sun and Sun Kui felt calm and continued to move forward with the corpse. They were not afraid of robbing Dao'er at all, because who would rob the corpse driver
After walking not far, they finally saw the person in front of them clearly. It turned out that it was not one person, but five people. One of them was a middle-aged and elderly man, the other three were young people, and one was more immature, a young man. .
Lao Sun cupped his fists and saluted gratefully. After all, others had just given them respect.
Several people returned the gift one after another. At this time, the oldest one spoke: "Just a few steps faster. It's going to be daybreak. There's an inn in front of us."
Lao Sun nodded and said: "I know this. It's not easy to arrive at this pace. We have many rules. Even if we reach the door, we have to stop when the moon goes down, so we will leave first. "
The man nodded, and Lao Sun was about to leave, but he didn't expect the man to suddenly stop him, and frowned slightly. Lao Sun's heart skipped a beat. Is there anything he couldn't say about this unexpected encounter
Thinking of the bet he made with another corpse exorcist, Lao Sun felt uneasy. This trip was not new.
The man stared at the seven corpses for a while, and then said: "My name is Lao Li, and I just want to remind my brother to pay attention to the fifth corpse on the way. I feel something is wrong."
"Ah?" What does Lao Sun think this is? He spoke so directly, but didn't explain the reason clearly, which made people confused.
However, there were many strangers in the world, so Old Sun subconsciously glanced at the corpse to see if it had any signs of uncontrollable limbs and slight trembling after it stopped. But there was no sign of it. It was normal and quiet!
There is a saying among corpse exterminators that after a corpse that can transform into a corpse, its limbs will tremble slightly after it stops, which is a sign of corpse transformation, because this movement means that it is breaking away from the control of the corpse exterminator. Passed down from years of experience, this is indeed a simple and effective observation method.
After observing, Lao Sun felt relieved. However, when walking in the world, one should not offend others too much. No matter what Lao Li in front of him had in mind when he reminded him of this matter, it should be done with good intentions. Deal with it, Lao Sun clasped his fists and said sincerely: "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention."
Lao Li didn't speak, but looked at Lao Sun carefully for a while, and then said: "Fate should not be cut off, and this disaster is not inevitable. You and I are not destined to be good, so Lao Li will stop talking about it."
What does this mean? Still going straight without any explanation, Lao Sun felt a little dissatisfied with Lao Li's way of speaking, especially what he said was not auspicious words, but would bring calamity when he spoke.
Even though Lao Sun was moved by Lao Li's words just now, he still couldn't help it. He barely restrained himself, gave Lao Li a fist, and then left. He was in a hurry to go to the inn.
Even Sun Kui felt the master's anger, but he didn't say much. He was just a junior. He smiled innocently at a few people and left quickly.
"Master, this corpse exorcist actually mistook his kindness for a donkey's heart and lungs. How about we secretly help him get rid of the guy who wants to transform into a corpse?" After Master Sun and his apprentice left, a young man suddenly spoke to him. That's what Lao Li said.
Lao Li glanced at the young man sideways, and then said: "Lichun, how many times have I told you that we in the metaphysics lineage, walking around the world, are not chivalrous and righteous, because everyone has his own destiny. Cause and effect are involved, and we can't intervene in advance. Of course, if we meet him, we have to take care of it. It's my fate with him. Let's go. What we should meet cannot escape. Let him be a donkey liver and lungs, I This is the problem with my words. People don’t treat my words like a donkey’s liver and lungs, and I’m not happy about it, hahahaha..."
The laughter spread far in the pre-dawn valley, leaving the young people behind Lao Li speechless for a while. This master, that's how he talks. He likes to tell the results directly without giving any reasons. Normal people It would be strange if you can accept it.
But Lao Li ignored the emotions of several young people and shouted: "Let's go on the road too." and walked in front of him coolly.
Several young people quickly followed. The youngest boy couldn't help but hold the hand of the man who was just called Lichun and asked: "Brother, how sure are you of defeating the zombies?"
"I'm not sure. That thing is very powerful and requires Master to take action." The answer was very direct.
Unintentionally, this Old Li was the same Old Li who took the cowherd boy out of the mountain village. The youngest boy was his new apprentice named Wang Lipu. The other two who seemed more calm were Li Lihou and Chen Liren. They were It was a coincidence that I appeared in this valley that was almost rarely visited at night, and met Master and Disciple Sun Kui.
This is fate in fate. Because of meeting, the endless cause and effect will be revealed.
At this time, Master and Disciple Sun Kui had already checked into an inn. This inn was specially opened for corpse exterminators. There was no front door, only a back door. A knowledgeable person would know this at a glance.
In this inn, there is a special courtyard with door panels in it for parking corpses. When Master Sun Kui and his disciples rushed to the inn, the moon was really about to set.
There were already many corpses parked in the backyard where the corpses were parked. It seemed that this inn was doing well, as it was located on a 'traffic artery' after all.
After placing the corpse, master and apprentice Sun Kui didn't say much and went to rest.
It's just that Lao Sun is tossing and turning, what does that mean? Doomed? The fifth body? Thinking like this, Lao Sun didn't fall asleep until the sun was already high.
