The next day, Jiang Chen finished eating the remaining roasted chicken, washed his mouth and hands with the water in the water bag, and rode on his horse and walked.

There was no one to see in the empty road, and there was a mountain ahead. Jiang Chen walked slowly and was not in a hurry to rush.

The weather is really good today, with clear sky and the rare thing is that the sun is mild and not too hot.

Jiang Chen was rushing to realize the "Sound Magical Art" while rushing, and time passed quickly.

There are many martial arts secrets in this world, but there are very few techniques about sound, so it is particularly precious to get one.

"Sound Magic Art" has a total of three realms, and Jiang Chen has only realized the first realm at present.

At this time, he was trying to understand the second realm.

With Jiang Chen's understanding, it is difficult to understand, let alone others.

Jiang Chen was not anxious. Now his strength is enough to protect himself, and he is not eager to improve his strength. Although he is not in a hurry, he will use all his time to practice, such as when he is on the road.

Oh! The three people in front were walking in line, and their outfits were also very strange.

The man in front was dressed in black and tied a wide black belt with a huge straw hat covering most of his face. He had a pair of straw sandals under his feet, a bell shaking in his right hand, and a small gong hammer in his left hand, occasionally pounding at the small gong tied to his waist. The ring and gong sound circled for a long time in the lonely path, which was particularly harsh.

Behind the man in black, a group of lifeless people were walking mechanically with their legs, all wearing wide black robes and tall bucket hats, with pale complexion and a piece of yellow paper with strange symbols on their foreheads.

What is this? It looks like a corpse driving, but the person in front is not wearing a Taoist robe, behind him does not have a peach wood sword, and there is no gossip mirror.

Are the two people walking behind dead? Although they look dead, Jiang Chen doesn't believe they are dead.

Jiang Chen has seen the story of Lao Liang in "Xiangxi" "Carrying Corpse", so he feels that he has met a "Carrying Corpse".

This aroused Jiang Chen's interest.

He was very curious about how this "corpse-driver" drove away the corpse. Is it really as Lao Liang said?

The person in front is Lao Si, also known as the corpse-driver. The bell in his hand is called the soul-catching bell. The small gong hanging on his waist is also called the Xiaoyin gong. The ones followed by the dead corpses that had been dead for many days.

Of course, Jiang Chen was passed by a modern soul, so I don’t believe that there are dead people behind him.

The origin of corpses can be traced back to ancient times.

Thousands of years ago, the Miao ancestor Chiyou led his army out to fight and killed the enemy to the darkness. Although he won the war, most of the soldiers were killed on the front line and dead bodies were piled up like mountains. In order to allow the soldiers to return to their hometown after they died in the battle, Chiyou specially ordered the military advisors to do a method to send the bodies of the dead brothers back to their hometown.

The military advisor was good at witchcraft, but he saw him coming to the middle of the dead soldiers. After a spell, all the corpses miraculously stood up. With the military advisor's "leave", the corpses obediently embarked on a journey back home under the guidance of the military advisor's "Taojie".

In ancient times, there were many bandits, robbers, and horse thieves. These strangers who came from other places thousands of miles to other places adhered to the traditional custom of returning to their roots. Once they passed away, they all hoped to return to their hometowns and settle down in peace. In ancient times, there were many waterways in and out of western Hunan, but first, the ship owner did not like to ship the bodies, and second, the waterways leaving the river must pass through the Three Gorges, where the water flows rapidly and the reefs were dense, which brought great risks to the ships transporting the bodies.

Therefore, the road to transport corpses can only be used to cross mountains and ridges and take the land route, and the corpse driving process came into being.

Jiang Chen rode behind them on a horse, and the path they were walking was exactly the same as himself.

The person in front heard the sound of horses behind him and turned to see Jiang Chen riding a horse with them.

The corpse-driver looked at Jiang Chen a few times, shook the bell, rang the gong, and shouted: "Three souls leave the body, seven souls raise their heads, and the stranger avoids it."

He repeated it several times, and Jiang Chen heard that he was deliberately telling it to himself.

If Jiang Chen is not right, he will follow him slowly.

Lao Si called the task of driving corpses "foot-running". After receiving the "foot-running" business, Lao Si first had to recite a spell next to the corpse, then apply cinnabar to the forehead, back, heart, hand, soles, etc. of the corpse, paste talisman paper, and then wrap it with cloth strips. It is said that this seals the seven souls of the corpse.

Then he stuffed cinnabar into the eyes, ears, nose and mouth of the deceased to block the access and exit of the three souls. After a series of preparations, Lao Si began to recite the spell, and the corpse immediately stood up and followed Lao Si on a long way home.

If the corpses are too large, Lao Si will connect them with a rope, or use a slender bamboo pole to rush the corpses to control the direction and speed of the corpses.

Of course, during the process of driving the corpse, if you encounter a steep slope or high hurdle that the corpse cannot cross, Lao Si will have to transport the corpses one by one. Therefore, Lao Si generally requires good physical fitness.

When driving corpses, they choose to stop at night and during the day, they will stop at the "corpses store". The "corpses store" is not closed all year round because the corpses are placed behind the door panel. After Lao Si casts spells on these corpses, they will stand against the wall until they continue to move forward after the curse is lifted at night.

Seeing Jiang Chen continue to follow, he stopped and walked to Jiang Chen's horse.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you always follow us?"

"You are very strange. Is this road yours? I can walk whatever I like."

This "corpse-driver" was choking and had nothing to say.

After following for half an hour, the "corpse-driver" stopped to drink water, and Jiang Chen also took out the water bag to drink water.

Jiang Chen could clearly feel the throats of the two corpses behind him moving. Now it was revealed that they were not dead bodies.

The "corpse-driver" asked the corpse to turn over, and he secretly took water for the two people behind him to drink.

Jiang Chen jumped down and came to him. When he suddenly saw Jiang Chen, he was shocked.

"I'm caught. These two people are not zombies at all. Tell me what you are doing. If you don't say it, I will kill you with one sword and make you completely become a dead body."

Jiang Chen's acting skills are very good, and these three people are obviously frightened.

"We are corpse-drivers, and the two behind are my assistants. They are living people, and the real dead people are carried on their backs."

"You mean the body was dismembered by you, and then it was processed and carried on your back."

"Little brother is so smart."

It’s no wonder that Lao Liang’s story has been mentioned, but now he just verifies it.

This is not a world of fairy tales, so it is impossible for real zombies to exist.

The operating rules of each world are different.

While they were resting, Jiang Chen asked a lot, and the "corpse-driver" all blurted out because they were afraid of Jiang Chen.

Not all the corpses of Lao Si were driven. In their business, there are the requirements of "three rushes" and "three no rushes".
