……

Bai Shibao was protecting the bonfire with his body, looking at the procession of expelling corpses with surprise and curiosity.

The young corpse chaser poked his head and saw light and flames in front of him, stopped the corpses, and walked towards the campfire with square steps. His eyes surveyed Bai Shibao's whole body, then he raised his right hand to press his left hand, and held up two fingers in front of his chest. , tapped his finger, flashed a Taoist sign language, and said hello to Bai Shibao.

Bai Shibao clasped his hands together and turned back.

"Dare to love is not a fellow..."

The young man turned around and walked back to the corpses, shaking the soul bell, shaking it by the ear of each corpse, and muttering, the arms of those corpses stretched forward, neatly resting on the shoulders and knees of the corpses in front of them. But he couldn't bend, and he jumped forward stiffly.

Bai Shibao saw that the corpse walking team was neat and tidy, he couldn't help secretly admiring this young man, thinking that at such a young age, he was able to drive corpses on the road, what a hero out of a boy.After thinking about it, Bai Shibao took a look at the corpses again, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look, it gave Bai Shibao a fright!
At the end, the corpse straightened its neck and turned its head, and also glanced at Bai Shibao. The corpse was one person, and the two eyes collided...

"Wait! Little Master!" Bai Shibao called out to the young man.

The young man paused, stopped the corpse, and asked Bai Shibao, "What's the matter?"

"Your corpse..." Bai Shibao pointed to the corpse at the end, and said, "It moved."

The young man looked at the corpse suspiciously, saw that its arms were crooked, its head was shrugging, unable to regain its energy, he walked over and slapped it on the head, cursing: "You are the slowest among all the crooked ones along the way. , cheer me up!" Then he shook the soul bell and whispered in its ear for a while, then turned his head and smiled and said to Bai Shibao: "This guy spent too much time drinking and drinking before he died, and now he knows his body is weak..."

Bai Shibao let out an "oh", and looked at the sky, which was already covered with lead clouds, and the moon was covered tightly, so he couldn't tell the time of day.

"Where are you going?" The young man in a thin coat simply parked the corpses aside, and walked over to put on Bai Shibao's clothes, warming himself by the fire.

"Miao Jiang!" Bai Shibao said.

"Miao Jiang? This is it, but you have to go a few miles south to get to Miao Village. Are you going to visit relatives?"

"Do some business." Bai Shibao thought that helping Lan Xin'er return his life would be considered a business.

"Oh..." The young man responded without saying a word. He put the Soul Requiem Bell beside him, put his hands on the bonfire, and lowered his head in thought, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing that he was silent, Bai Shibao asked, "Where are you going to chase these corpses?"

"These people died in other places, and their family members want to see their dead bodies, so we will send their relatives' dead bodies back to their hometowns, so that they can be buried in peace!"

"Isn't it dangerous to chase away corpses?" Bai Shibao asked curiously.

"Before leaving, master cast a spell and used the 'general spell' to subdue the corpses. These corpses have no evil spirit, neither zombies nor walking corpses. I just need to ring the soul bell and throw paper money to open the way. There is no risk. , and hard work!"

When Bai Shibao heard the word 'walking corpse', his heart skipped a beat, feeling uneasy, but fortunately he was only chasing walking corpses.

The young man looked back at the corpse, then turned to Bai Shibao and said, "There is a Yizhuang [-] miles ahead. The Yizhuang has a door but no windows, and the door is open all the year round. It is specially used for storing corpses. I will put these The corpse rushed there, hid from the sun to sleep during the day, and continued on the road when it was dark!"

Bai Shibao nodded, thinking that he, like this young man, was a dead man's living.

"I'm warming up, I should go too..." The young man picked up the Soul Requiem Bell beside him, got up and thanked Bai Shibao with Taoist gestures.

Bai Shibao cupped his fists in return.

"what?"

The young man walked up to the corpses and counted them one by one with his hands. Feeling that something was wrong, his face darkened, and he shouted, "Oh no, it's just such a short time, how come one is missing!"

Seeing the young man panic, Bai Shibao walked over and pointed his fingers to help the young man check, until the end even Bai Shibao panicked, the young corpse was the one who turned his head to look at him just now.

The young man looked around and said to Bai Shibao with a sullen face, "Should I tell you to come out?"

"What?" Bai Shibao was confused, there was no one else here.

"I parked seven corpses here and chatted with you for a while, but one was missing for no reason. I don't doubt who you suspect?"

"Don't frame me, what's the use of me stealing your body?" Bai Shibao said urgently.

"My corpse witch family can use it to sacrifice walking corpses, the spirit family can use it to borrow ghosts to possess people, and ordinary people can use it to marry ghosts and sell it for money!"

Bai Shibao became angry when he heard 'sacrificing the walking corpse', and thought to himself: I, Bai Shibao, neither steal people nor money, but I was framed by this young man for stealing corpses for no reason. If you find the evidence, I will add more corpses to you!"

"Why do I want your corpse? Hand over the corpse quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!" The young man copied the soul bell and muttered something in his mouth. When the group of walking corpses heard the ringing of the bell, they jumped in front of the young man.

Bai Shibao was taken aback, how could this young man believe that I stole it, so he invited these walking corpses to arrest me?
I, Bai Shibao, can't lose my ancestral name of the arsenal family, and I can't discredit my master. I'm also a member of the Taoist school. If I lose to such a young man, won't it be a blow to my master if it spreads in the future?Master Quan Xia panicked knowingly and ashamed!
Bai Shibao picked up the scaring whip on his waist, took out two yellow paper charms from his pocket, tied them to the whip, and said, "If you don't listen to good words, I'll kill your corpse!"

Seeing that Bai Shibao was picking up two talisman papers, the young man couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "So you are also a Taoist, it seems that I guessed right, you really caught my corpse and sacrificed it! Now it's time Well, I will have an explanation to the master, so that the old man will not believe it!" After finishing speaking, he pinched his fingers and chanted the "walking corpse mantra" in his mouth: "The gods are invited, and the victory is coming. I have a pure heart and a clean mouth. Please God, I would like to announce that before Huwei comes to the Dharma, he will help you with walking corpses, as urgently as a law!"

As soon as the mantra was recited, the young man shook the Soul Requiem Bell in front of the corpses, pointed at Bai Shibao with his hand, and shouted: "Go!" The corpses listened to the order, stiffened and jumped towards Bai Shibao. , the clothes were shaking, the speed was so fast, and there was a gust of wind in the whistling.

Bai Shibao thought to himself: I used this ghost-scaring whip to whip the walking corpses, so I'm afraid that you, the walking corpses, won't succeed?

Bai Shibao copied the ghost scaring whip like a storm, the whip fell like a knife cutting, the clothes of the whipped corpses were torn, and the flesh and blood of the corpses were turned upside down.These walking corpses are already dead and don't even know pain, they let Bai Shibao beat them, only listened to the soul bell in the young man's hand, pressed forward step by step, and forced Bai Shibao back in front of a tree.

"Oops, this spell is wrong!"

Bai Shibao hung on the ghost scaring whip the 'Zhong Kui Suppressing Ghost Talisman' to drive away ghosts, which was of course ineffective against this group of walking corpses.

The soul-rescue bell in the young man's hand was buzzing. Listening to the ringing, the walking corpse blocked Bai Shibao's back path, surrounded Bai Shibao tightly, and stretched out his fingers to grab it. A big piece, with scratches all over the trunk.

"It will be miserable to be caught on the body with this strength!"

Bai Shibao looked at the group of walking corpses with a spell on their foreheads, and thought that these were the ones he said were used to suppress corpses, so he had an idea and quickly peeled off two of them!
The two walking corpses instantly collapsed on the ground, unconscious.

Seeing that the walking corpse charm was picked off by Bai Shibao, the young man was startled, and shouted: "Oops!" He hurriedly stopped the soul-repressing bell in his hand, and ran to pick up the charms on the ground...

Only then did Bai Shibao get away and escape, thinking that this ghost-suppressing talisman is not easy to use, and he needs to find a different method, so he hurriedly took out the old book in his bosom, flipped through the spells recorded by the blind man behind him, and some of the large characters in it caught Bai Shibao's eyes. As soon as it was lit, it read: Please be a ghost!

Bai Shibao was overjoyed and said, "Isn't this the technique Master used to summon ghosts back then?"

Bai Shibao hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground, and according to Zhang Blind's method of recording, he picked out a "ghost order", holding the formula with both hands, and said anxiously: "The heaven and the earth are natural, and the way of Tao is true. Luo Jiegui kills evil, ghosts from the Five Sacred Mountains go to their deaths, three souls live forever, those who have lost their souls will come to help quickly..."

Bai Shibao had just finished chanting the incantation, when he felt gusts of dark wind rushing, blowing the dead leaves and roots beside him, and suddenly the sky was filled with dark clouds!

"It's done?" Bai Shibao took out a mulberry leaf from his bosom, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it up, wiped it on his eyes, and looked around, he saw a group of ghosts walking towards Bai Shibao from all directions.

"Why did you recruit so many at once?"

The young man put the talisman on the head of the walking corpse again. When he stood up, he saw that the weather around him was changing, and the wind blowing the sand blinded his eyes. Then he saw Bai Shibao standing in the distance, talking to himself, and couldn't help being curious.

How did he know that Bai Shibao was talking to the ghosts he had brought in.

"..."

"Help me trap those walking corpses, and I'll give you money!" Bai Shibao said to the group of ghosts.

"..."

"Ah? So much? I only have 5000 million taels in Yincao's place!" Bai Shibao was impatient, and these ghosts asked for prices.

"..."

"Forget it, I will pay the compensation, will I burn it to you later?"

As soon as Bai Shibao finished speaking, he heard a powerful voice that broke through the sky: "Bold! Who is summoning the soul here?"

Bai Shibao was so shocked by the sound that his eardrums hurt, and then he looked at the group of lonely ghosts around him, all of them paled in fright, shivering into a ball, and some of their legs and feet quickly fled in the dark wind...

Bai Shibao was just rejoicing that he had summoned the ghosts to help out, but his voice scared away all the ghosts he had attracted, he felt strange, turned his head and saw two figures walking from the dense forest.

When he got closer, Bai Shibao saw the appearance of these two people clearly.

The man walking in front was about mid-year-old, wearing a yellow robe, shaved short hair and crew cut, with a horizontal eyebrow, and vigorous footsteps, with an air that was different from ordinary people.Behind him is a person wearing an old Qing gown, wearing a crown of flower feathers and beads, and a yellow paper charm on his forehead. It is the corpse of Liu Shao. mistake.

"Is he alive?" Bai Shibao asked in surprise.

The young man turned his head and saw the two, his face changed suddenly, and he knelt down on the ground, surprised: "Master?!"
