Chapter 63 : Underworld Inn, Kulai Secret Salary

Wang Er and Li Xue were also in the team, but they did not say, Wang Ye and others did not ask, it seems that they have acquiesced in this matter.

In fact, in Wang Yier’s heart, he was still shocked by Zhao Yi’s words to instruct him to use the Fourth Order of the Seven Kills of Gods and Ghosts.

The reason why I didn’t leave was because I wanted to find a chance to chat with Zhao Yi alone. He always felt that Zhao Yi seemed to know something important to him.

It also happened that this matter was within the scope of Li Xue’s mission.She had to see that the corpse was properly handled and went back to make a proposal, but at the same time, what made Li Xue a headache is how to write this action report after going back?

The case of the missing body is solved. Is the murderer a corpse in an ancient tomb during the Northern and Southern Dynasties?

The corpse is stiff and not decayed, giving birth to the dead, stealing the corpse?

Li Xue had a foreboding that this action report would be a big trouble, neither writing nor writing it, which made him feel bad.

A few people walked straight to the south along the mountain path. Qingcheng was located to the east of Diecui Mountain, but because the corpses didn’t go back, everyone could only go down the mountain from the south and then detour back to Qingcheng District.

But this is not a bad thing. After all, if you go directly down the mountain from the east, you will directly enter the city. A corpse walking in the city will definitely be eye-catching. On the contrary, the continuous mountain road to the south is remote and there are few people on the road. , But also a quiet picture.

I have been walking in this pinnacle mountain for several hours. After a day of fighting, it was already dark. At this time, I walked for a long time. When it was approaching, the night was dark.

In the secluded Pinnacle Mountain, deep in the old forest, in a dead place, a few figures seem to be non-returning guests in this big mountain.

“Dingling, dingling, ding

The sound of bells and the sound of someone talking are intertwined, reverberating around.

In the moonlight passing through the dark clouds of wine, several figures were reflected walking through the deep mountains, and one of them “five six three” appeared to be extremely strange.

The figure was straight, stretched out his hands, motionless, only leaping forward at the moment the bell rang.

This strange team is not someone else, it is Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi walked in front, holding a purple golden bell in his hand, and behind him was the hair with the talisman paper on his head.

And behind Mao Zang, there is a row of corpses, exactly those that disappeared in major hospitals.

They were all taken up by Zhao Yi and taken back together. After all, this was the main task this time.

Wang Ye and Zhang Qilin were scattered on the left and right, rushing forward in the dark.

“Where is the south side of Diecui Mountain?”

Zhao Yi looked at the direction ahead, and there was a dim light suddenly asked in a deep voice.

In this matter, Li Xue is better at it. He wrote down Diecui Mountain and the surrounding environment long before he went up the mountain.

“To the south of Diecui Mountain are some older villages. These villages are generally self-reliant and seldom interact with outsiders.

Coupled with the particularity of the location, developers seldom choose this place, so these villages are almost never disturbed. ”

Zhao Yi nodded:

“Let’s go, then we have to try our luck. If we are lucky, we might have a rest.”



This makes a few people feel a little puzzled.

“Try your luck, what luck?”

Zhao Yi was not eager to speak, but just motioned to everyone to continue walking forward.

Not long after, along this secluded mountain road, everyone finally approached where the light was. It turned out to be a village scattered with bungalows.

It was late at night, and the lights in the village were basically turned off. The light that aroused everyone was coming from two white lanterns hanging outside the door of a special house.

When they saw these two white lanterns, the three Wang Ye looked at each other in a bit of astonishment.

When looking for the missing bus earlier, they also saw white lanterns in the illusion. Zhao Yi also said at the time that the white lanterns were guiding the way home for the dead.

Wang Ye looked at Zhao Yi and whispered:

“Director, what’s the matter with the lantern? Shouldn’t we be in the illusion again?”

However, Zhao Yi looked a little happy when he saw the white lantern. He shook his head and said as he walked forward:

“Sure enough, in the 90s, there are still such inns in remote places. Let’s go, there is no need to camp in the mountains today.”

The psychology of several people is very puzzled.

According to the director, is that an inn?

This name is a bit too old.

The inn means the inn now.

But why is this hotel hanging white lanterns, and the surrounding people are already asleep, only the two white lanterns in front of his door are swaying slightly in the wind, which looks very strange.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, except for Zhao Yi’s bells, there was no other sound.

“Dingling, Dingling, Dingling”

With the sound of the bells, they were getting closer and closer to the inn that Zhao Yi said. Several people were surprised to find that the lights were turned on in the room where the lights were originally turned off.

A figure walked outside with clothes on.

This person seemed to be attracted by the sound of bells, which made several people feel more puzzled.

In this remote mountain village, shouldn’t it feel more weird to hear such bells? Why did you attract this person?

The figure stood under the white lantern, and seemed to be working hard to look over here. Because of the distance, it could only be vaguely identified as an old man.

The dry tobacco rod in the old man’s hand lit up from time to time. It flickered like a firefly in the darkness.

“Director, let’s take a detour, don’t scare this old man anymore.”

Li Xue couldn’t bear it, and came forward to persuade Zhao Yi.

However, Zhao Yi was taken aback, and then smiled and said:

“That old man should have experienced more than you have ever seen. After all, he eats this bowl of rice and he can’t be scared, but you should not be scared.

It was another word that made everyone in the cloud.

Moreover, several people are very unconvinced. He is also a strange man at any rate? How can he not be as good as an old man in a mountain nest?

They were very puzzled, but they couldn’t find any answers. They could only follow Zhao Yi with more curiosity, getting closer and closer to the figure under the white lantern.

“Director, what is this place on earth, why are you holding a white lantern?”

Zhao Yi said meaningfully:

“You can see if you win. This is now a Yizhuang ancestral hall in a mountain village, but from the appearance of the outside in the early years, it should be an inn.

However, when the few people finally walked down the mountain road and entered the corner of the village, a somewhat old voice came from their ears:

“Dare to ask, but the foot master?”

The voice was full of oldness, but at the same time it contained excitement and excitement, as well as a bit of vicissitudes of emotion, which made several people look at each other, not knowing why.

Zhao Yi heard these words, but did not immediately answer, but continued to control Mao Zheng to move forward.

“Director, is he talking to us? What is a footer?”

Ma Baoer asked Zhao Yi curiously. At this time, Zhao Yi finally stopped selling Guanzi:

“In ancient times, the corpse chaser was actually very taboo about the word chasing the corpse. They generally did not call themselves a corpse chaser, but called themselves a walking master.

Therefore, the innkeeper came up to ask if he was a master walker, not a carpenter.

The reason should be to worry about angering the corpsesmith, so the honorific name is used. ”

When Zhao Yi got his body up just now, he told a few people what a corpse slayer is.

But what makes them feel strange is that in this remote mountain village, there are still people who know about the existence of the corpse slayer.

In doubt, several people followed Zhao Yi for a few steps. After a while, they appeared in front of the ancestral hall.

Reflected in the light of the white lantern, Zhao Zhen slowly raised his head and looked at the old man standing at the door:

“Exactly!”

The humpbacked old man took a deep breath of dry smoke, looked at Zhao Yi’s appearance, and was stunned.

He frowned, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he thought subconsciously in his heart:

“Is this a corpse shoveler?”

“But this long one is so upright and majestic, it doesn’t look like it!”

In ancient times, the selection of corpsesmiths would choose people who looked bad or even deformed. To use the jargon, it was a murderer who did murderous work!

The murderous act of shooing corpses requires a fierce person to be able to resist it!

Looking at Zhao Yi, he looks upright, plus the military leadership has his own authority. It doesn’t look like a walker at all.

But after all, the old man had seen a lot of worlds and knew some ancestral doorways, so he quickly distinguished that what Zhao Yi said was not a lie.

Although he was still very confused in his heart, the old man no longer thought about it.

Soon, the old man showed a look of joy, looking at Zhao Yi’s eyes, there were some tears in his eyes:

“Finally waited!”

While talking, the old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

At the time of his ancestors, at least a hundred years ago, this mountain road was a common way to drive corpses, so the ancestors opened a corpse inn here.

But later, with the development and progress of the times, the profession of the corpse carpenter gradually disappeared, and when the corpse inn got into his hands, it became a righteous village.

Because there is no stalker here, the inn can’t be opened naturally.

The bodies of several surrounding villages will be parked here.

But the ancestors have the training, the old man has never forgotten, but in his heart he a little no longer believes that there will be corpse slayers in this world.

But today, it really made him hear the bells that I heard from my ancestors.

It was only now that he was sure that there are still masters in this world!

He hurriedly bowed to Zhao Yi and said:

“Please hurry up the master to wait here for a while!’

Without waiting for Zhao Yi’s response, he hurried back to the house.

Zhao Yi glanced at the old man’s back, but did not stop him.

In this scene, other people felt very puzzled, why the old man saw Zhao Yi. There is no fear, but rather excited.

“Director, tell us quickly, what is going on?”

Wang Ye couldn’t help it anymore, and Zhao Yi leaned closer and whispered.

Zhao Yi looked at Wang Ye and then at the few people behind him. The eyes of the few people all gathered, full of doubts.

Fortunately, Zhao Yi no longer sells Guanzi, and whispered:

“There is an inn in the village, don’t you think it’s weird?

The village is so big in total, there are very few strangers coming and going, why should there be an inn?

And the white lanterns hanging at the entrance of the inn are still white.”

Several people nodded one after another, and they had been weird for a long time.

Zhao Yi saw the crowd and said slowly:

“This inn is not for people to live in, so it is also called the corpse inn.

In the early years, when corpse shoveling was rampant, corpse shovelers would take this mountain road.

The corpse chasing has been around for a long time. People from other countries were killed, and the corpse chased led him to walk step by step in the night of the mountains and forests.

The corpse chaser shook the copper bell without rushing, and the dead corpse was draped with the charms. The mountain path, wherever the copper bell can be heard, the chickens do not cry, the dogs do not bark, the birds and beasts avoid, and even swim fish. Dive deep into the bottom of the water.

Zhao Yi looked at a few people here, and all of them showed great interest. Helpless, he could only continue to say:

“For the corpse shoveler, the most important things are nothing more than three points: getting the corpse, walking, and the corpse inn.

The most important thing about walking is the choice of time.

The corpse chaser usually travels day and night, and will not go through villages and towns, but choose some barren mountains or mountain paths to walk slowly.

This is an unwritten rule in this line of business, and it would be frightening to walk around with a pair of corpses in broad daylight.

The second reason is to avoid cats and dogs and other animals colliding with the corpse. If the corpse is incomplete, there is no way to explain it to the employer.

The third most important inn is the one you see in front of you.

It is impossible to build other inns in this corner, and the hanging white lanterns indicate the identity of the inn, and I will take you down the mountain road.

The corpse inn, as the name suggests, only the corpse carpenter and the corpse can stay in, and the living cannot live.

“what?”

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback and looked at the inn in front of them. They never thought that this inn was actually prepared for the dead.

Zhao Yi nodded and said slowly:

“There will always be more or less corpse rushing inns along the route that the corpse rusher travels. Because of the high income, these inns seem to be indifferent, but they are well run.

But that was before, and you should be able to see the attitude of the old man just now. He hasn’t been here since he was a child and he hasn’t been here since he was this age.

At that time, corpse chasing was popular. The cadavers drove the corpses to the inn before dawn, and left quietly at night. Days and nights.

The employer will pay half of the money to the corpse rusher in advance, and when the corpse is handed over at the destination, and then make up the remaining money, Zhao’s walk is considered complete.

Zhao Yi’s explanation finally made a few people clear, but soon Wang Er couldn’t help but open:

“But why do you want to drive the corpse? Isn’t it convenient to transport directly by land?”

Zhao Yi shrugged, pointed to Diecui Mountain behind him and said:

“The emergence of the corpse is also due to geographical problems.

The area of ​​western Hunan is different from the northern Yimapingchuan. It is more hilly landforms. Fortunately, southern Hunan and northern Hunan are even more criss-crossed in western Hunan.

Five miles and one mountain, ten miles and one hill, plus the location in the upper reaches of the Yuanjiang River, where there are many dangerous places and concentrated water flow, such mountainous areas are difficult for carriages and horses to pass.

In the early years, Ma Lu did not have the 1.3 Da Da as it is now, and can only be transported out by people carrying the corpse over the mountains and over the mountains, so there is also a special occupation of the corpse chaser. ”

Zhao Yi’s knowledge and knowledge once again convinced everyone.

Wang Ye looked at the room in front of him in shock:

“So the ancestral hall in this mountain village was actually a corpse chasing inn before?”

Zhao Yi nodded and shook his head:

“The door opens to the west, and there are stone lions on both sides with their heads facing in. It can be seen that this place should have been a corpse chaser inn a long time ago, but now the profession of corpse chaser has disappeared, and it has been changed to a righteous village.”

As soon as Zhao Yi’s voice fell, a few people heard a sound from the inn, and the old man walked out and said:

“Yes, that’s right, what the walking master said is exactly that dusty history.

The old man didn’t expect that, today I finally let me wait until the foot master!

My ancestors have opened a corpse inn here for many generations, but unfortunately this corpse-dealing trip was lonely, and in my father’s generation he had never seen a walking master again.

Later, although it was changed to a Yizhuang, the ancestors did not dare to violate it, and when they heard the bell, they had to open the door to welcome the guests.

The old man thought he had misheard, but he didn’t expect that he was really a stray master.

My righteous village has long been deserted, and it is estimated that I will no longer have it in my generation, but my ancestors have been the shopkeepers of the corpse inn for several generations.

In my lifetime, I will be able to welcome another walking master to come here, and I am worthy of my ancestors who can go to see them under Huangquan.

The old man was quite emotional, and he couldn’t help but tremble when he came to the door:

“Shoot the corpse and settle down, avoid the fire

The old man shouted loudly in a yin and yang cavity, and the sound seemed to spread several meters away.

Hearing this, Zhao Yi shook the purple-gold bell in his hand and came to the front of the inn.

The old man saw in his eyes, but in his heart he once again believed that this must be an extremely professional walker.

He knew very well the rules and rituals for walking corpses to enter the inn. .
