"Mr. Xu, wake up, wake up!" The shaking from his arm woke Xu Changqing from his sleep. He suddenly opened his eyes and quickly glanced around.

I saw that he was in a dilapidated temple at this moment, surrounded by porters, and there were some people wearing mourning clothes not far away. These people looked like people from the Qing Dynasty in terms of their dress and appearance. He himself was wearing a Taoist robe and holding magic weapons such as peach wood swords, soul-squeezing bells, and seemed to be sending guests from a foreign land back to their hometown for burial.

"I..." Xu Changqing wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. He always felt something was wrong now and the surrounding environment was not right, but he just couldn't remember what was wrong.

"Mr. Xu, now it's almost time you said yesterday. Do you think you can start preparing to set off?" An old man wearing a round felt hat and dressed like a accountant, looking at Xu Changqing with a flattering look on his face and asked carefully.

Xu Changqing's somewhat confused mind began to become clear with the inquiry from the accountant, and he also remembered why he was here. Not long ago, he was quiet and moved in Taohua Mountain, thinking that it would be difficult to improve his cultivation level if he continued to practice, so he decided to go down the mountain to experience it and find opportunities to improve his cultivation level. However, not long after going down the mountain, when he just entered Hunan, he happened to meet a team of corpses who were sending guests back to his hometown.

Although this team of corpse driving teams are all real people from Xiangxi, they obviously have only a little understanding of things like driving corpses. They are obviously carrying coffins to see off guests, but they use the method of walking corpses to rush out at night. If they walk too much at night, they will naturally have something wrong. Before meeting Xu Changqing, they happened to pass by a mass grave, and rituals such as scattering money to buy roads did not have a good effect, but instead attracted all the ghost demons and evil spirits in the mass grave. If Xu Changqing had not taken action in time, these people would have been turned into blood food by those ghost demons.

After Xu Changqing took action to rescue the group, they naturally knew that something was wrong with them. After seeing Xu Changqing's skills, they all felt that it was perfect to entrust Xu Changqing with this matter. As for those corpse-drivers in Xiangxi, they all suffered. After knowing that Xu Changqing is a person with real skills, they naturally did not dare to raise any objection to this.

Xu Changqing originally planned to experience outside, but now this situation is very consistent with the requirements of the training, so he did not refuse. At that time, he used local materials to find several resentful corpses in the mass grave, made these corpses into bone nails, and then nailed the corpses to the upper and lower parts of the coffin, tied the corpses together with red dust ropes, forming a large net to completely net the coffin. He drew more than a dozen talismans to stick them on the coffin, and used good cinnabar and red mud to seal the gaps in the coffin. Because the ghost energy in the mass grave had impacted the coffin before, it had caused some signs of corpses to transform. If he didn't do this, let him continue to transform, it would only bring back a disaster to the corpses' family.

After doing all this, Xu Changqing did not rush to the road overnight, but instead found a nearby ruined temple to rest for a while, and ordered the deceased's family to send a housekeeper responsible for corpses to drive away corpses, and woke him up when the sun was completely arisen and the earth's yin energy completely dissipated. The biggest difference between carrying a coffin and driving corpses is the difference in time. The walking corpses are driving corpses at night, and the Taoist practices are practicing corpses. Carrying a coffin and driving corpses is driving corpses during the day, and walking celestial phenomena. The more intense the sun during the day, the more suitable it is to drive corpses.

After Xu Changqing understood the causes and consequences, he stood up and patted the dust on his body. Under the awe of everyone, he walked to the coffin, carefully checked the situation of the coffin, and nodded with satisfaction. He then bowed to the dejected Xiangxi people next to him, saying, "You are pretty good. You haven't messed up the matter completely. If I take over, I can save the situation."

"Hehe! You always say yes, you always say yes!" Those Xiangxi people were almost beaten up by the victim's family and porters yesterday. In addition, they had already been scared out of their courage when they encountered those evil things. Even though they were a little angry, they were snatched away from the business and were in vain to do this business, they did not dare to show it to their faces, and they did not dare to ask Xu Changqing more, and could only smile with a flattering smile.

On the contrary, the old manager who followed Xu Changqing was very curious about Xu Changqing's words and quickly asked about the situation. Xu Changqing was not stingy and told the old manager why he said so.

Although the Xiangxi people used their heard-taking method to do this business, and used the wrong time, they did one thing right. This is that they knew that they would use the ritual of sealing the soul into the corpse in advance to seal the victim's soul in the coffin. Otherwise, even if Xu Changqing took over, he would only be an empty shell. The victim's soul became a lonely ghost. Even if the corpse was buried on the best auspicious pit vein, it would not have any effect of protecting future generations.

After listening to Xu Changqing's explanation, the old housekeeper's face turned pale and he glared at the Xiangxi people a few times.

Xu Changqing ignored the old butler's attitude towards the people of Xiangxi. He looked at the sky, took out a gossip mirror from his bag, fixed it on the coffin, and said to the porter who had already prepared: "Let's go! The filial son and virtuous grandson raised the banner and opened the way, don't spill money, don't roar the gong."

When Xu Changqing's order fell, several porters lifted the coffin with force at the same time. The others drove the way forward according to Xu Changqing's orders. The originally prepared gongs and scattered money, stopped and followed behind and slowly moved forward.

The group walked on the official road, and there were not many people building houses on both sides of the road. However, the government would build some inns in some places on this road, providing pedestrians and merchants on this road, resting and drinking water, and providing some temporary accommodation. Every time I passed by such a place, Xu Changqing asked the old housekeeper to discuss with the inn shopkeeper, let him burn some paper money for the victim and toast a glass of wine.

The reason why Xu Changqing did this was not to be mysterious, but to borrow the hundreds of families of people generated by the inn owners who were exposed to different pedestrians all year round to disperse the yin energy accumulated in the coffin before. With this ceremony, the yin energy in the coffin dropped a few minutes. In addition, the yin energy in the coffin was almost dispersed. After nightfall, the yang energy accumulated in the daytime by the Bagua mirror was suppressed, and the yin energy of the victim's corpse would not occur, and the corpse transformation would not occur in the corpse of the victim.

Because the steward of the victim had already managed the government and local forces along the way, even after passing through the town market, the group did not encounter any trouble and went very smoothly. However, Xu Changqing, who was the backbone of this group, always looked frowning. Although the old steward asked him if there was anything wrong with him, he always received no responses, and his face showed no signs of improvement.

The reason why Xu Changqing is like this is not because of driving the corpse, but because from the moment he woke up, he always felt something was wrong. He always felt that he should not be here. He should be in other places and other things when doing these things. However, no matter how carefully he recalls where he should be, he can never get a definite answer.

As time gradually approached the hour of You, the sky began to darken. The group happened to pass by a county town and arrived at the suburbs. When they walked further ahead, they were deserted mountains and ridges. So after the old manager asked Xu Changqing about his opinion, he decided to stay in a nearby small Taoist temple for one night and continue moving forward tomorrow.

This Taoist temple is a very ordinary and simple Sanqing Temple. It has a small courtyard, plus the main hall and two wing rooms. The Sanqing Temple is worshipped in the main hall, and there is not even a statue of the gods. However, such a Taoist temple has a good incense. When Xu Changqing and his party entered the Taoist temple, the smoke left by the incense during the day had not completely dissipated, and the thick smell of incense around made people feel dizzy.

Because the Taoist temple was too small, the group could only be arranged in the front yard of the Taoist temple. The old manager specially used money to ask the owner of the temple here to free up a room for Xu Changqing.

Just as everyone put down the objects in their hands, were doing their own things, and preparing to have a good rest in the evening, Xu Changqing came to the main hall where only the Sanqing Divine Positions were worshipped, stood in front of the incense burner in the center of the main hall, and looked at the incense burner in front of him with confusion.

This incense burner is huge in shape, simple in style, and exquisite in materials. The whole is made of the most precious copper. What is more important is that the patterns on the incense burner are not cast, but are chiseled out with hammers, making the incense burner that should have looked peaceful and steady give people a sense of sharpness.

But the patterns on the incense burner are so weird that the materials and shapes of the incense burner are really weird. This weirdness does not mean that the incense burner itself, but that such an incense burner that looks extraordinary should not appear in this simple Taoist temple. The thousand-year-old temples among the famous mountains should be their place to settle down.

However, these are not the reasons why Xu Changqing was confused. The reason why Xu Changqing was confused was because he seemed to recognize this incense burner. When he saw this incense burner, he immediately thought of a name incense copper cauldron. However, not to mention why he thought of such a name, just from the connotation of the name, it is obviously completely incompatible with this incense burner. Although the incense burner is huge and simple in shape, its appearance is always the same as the incense burner, not the incense copper cauldron. It should not be a completely different name like the incense copper cauldron.

But Xu Changqing felt even more strange. Even though he discovered the fallacy in his name, no matter how he changed the thoughts in his mind, after seeing the stove, the first name he thought of was still the incense copper tripod, as if the name had been engraved in his memory and was associated with the copper furnace.
