Chapter 7: The Body-driver

There is a saying... one mouth opens, and two ends say.

What exactly did Shuangxie and the others encounter? Let’s keep a close look here, let’s talk about the situation of another group of people here.

That night, at the foot of the mountain east of this "Yandengpo", there was actually another team of people present.

This group of people is more than fifty, and they are all Jianjiazi who have experienced a lot of battle formations. They came here early the morning before the day before, and set up an ambush for Shuangxie and others here.

When I saw this, someone probably guessed that there was only one organization that could move when they heard the news in Miaojiang and quickly gathered a large group of people to set up an ambush: the Five Spirit Sect.

The goal of these Five Spirit Cultists in this trip is also clear to capture the "East Harmony and Western Poison" alive.

I wonder if you still remember that in the autumn of the 18th year of Yongtai, the year before yesterday... just after the Young Heroes Association, Tang Fu, the banner owner of the White Tiger Banner of the Five Spirit Sect and Li Qiyu, the deputy banner owner of the Xuanwu Banner, once tracked Shuangxie for a period of time, in order to get some of the contents of "Gu Qiying's Notes" from them, but in the end, it failed.

Originally, this matter was over, but unexpectedly, after more than a year, one day at the end of January of the 20th year of Yongtai, Tang Fu suddenly received news from a spy that seven "very eye-catching people" were beating their Five Spirit Sect's territory.

After a few more investigations and reporting, he found out that the seven people came, namely: "Dongxi" Sun Yixi, "Xiangdonglai", "Undefeated Swordsman" Linghu Xiang, "Huanyuan Shenjian" Lin Yuancheng, "Dumbow Sword" Jiang Muchan, "Baohao Guest" Qin Feng, and an unknown Kunlun slave.

Good guy, this is called heaven without going, hell without going, hell will come to visit.

For more than a year, since the leader Yi Shiqing has been in seclusion and practiced (he is scheduled to be in seclusion for three years), the Five Spirit Sect is basically in a dormant standby state, and there is no big move, but this does not mean that you "East and West Poison" can sway over our faces?

So, after confirming the news, Tang Fu personally led the fifty elites in the White Tiger Banner and attacked Zhenlingshan General Hall and came over overnight.

Of course, at this time, the deputy banner owner beside him was no longer Li Qiyu from the Xuanwu Banner (the last time the situation was special, so they asked them to partner temporarily), but was replaced by his own deputy banner owner of the White Tiger Banner. Everyone knows this person, named Mu Liyan, the coachman "Lao Wu" who has been undercover next to Shen Youran for many years in the previous article.

Someone may have to say here, what is there to mention about this guy? Isn’t it just that the third leader of the Cao Gang, Feng Shunshui, was beaten to the genius at the beginning of this book? In addition, this guy should have been using the "Epidemic Gu" for many years? Why hasn’t he died after so long?

Here I will explain it to you:

First of all, when he was undercover next to Shen Youran, Mu Liyan must not be able to use all his real skills in order not to reveal his identity.

Therefore, when Mu Liyan fought with Feng Shunshui, he only used the "13-way mountain-breaking and water-breaking sword technique" without using any of the Five Spirit Sect's moves and internal skills... Then he would be defeated.

Secondly, why the "Primary Gu" on his body did not occur... the reason is even simpler. In fact, you can understand after thinking about it for a moment: It takes half a year to attack the Pure Gu, and when Chen Youran and Gu Qiying died, there were still several months before the attack of the Gu on Mu Liyan's body. Mu Liyan only needs to find out how to relieve the Gu in these few months.

So where can we find out this information?

Anywhere is OK...

Because this matter is no longer a secret, after all, Huang Donglai told all the righteous people who came to participate in the Young Heroes Association. Most of the martial arts world knew how to solve it, and the Jinyiwei knew it, and even those who opened pharmacies in Luoyang City knew it... So this matter can be found out.

In other words, the prescription of "Jiu Gu" is actually not very valuable now, and it is not as useful as other prescriptions in Gu Qiying's notes that have not yet been exposed to the solution.

The Pure Land Gu on Mu Liyan's body was removed not long after.

After that, Mu Liyan, who ended the lurking mission and returned to the Five Spirit Sect, was grateful for the title of gold, silver, treasure sword, and deputy banner leader of the White Tiger Banner.

In order not to live up to the expectations of the leader, Mu Liyan practiced the magical skills of the sect day and night under the guidance of the elder of the sect and the White Tiger Banner Tang Fu. After this year and a half of practice, Mu Liyan, who regained his foundation in the Five Spirits Kung Fu, can be said to be a complete transformation; now, even with bare hands, he can still have about 60% of the strength of Tang Fu. His own talent "13-way mountain-breaking and water-breaking sword" has doubled its power with the blessing of the "treasure weapon" given by the leader... It is not an exaggeration to position him as a "first-class master".

As for Tang Fu, let alone, he is a top-notch person.

With the two of them in charge, and fifty powerful players from the White Tiger Banner set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the work of Shuangxi and his group to get into the trap... In this wave, Shuangxi was incredible.

but……

Neither side expected that the situation changed in the early morning of the day when Sun Huang and others were about to go down the mountain...

…………

Dingling dingling dingling

The sound of the soul-catching bells gradually approached the place where the house was.

Linghu Xiang, who was sleeping outside the house with Sun Yixie, was the first to wake up... He was timid and had nightmares when he fell asleep. At this moment, when he opened his eyes, he listened to the ringing of the bell in the distance in the dark, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was awake or still in his dream.

"Brother Sun...Brother Sun..." Linghu Xiang touched the black, trying to push Sun Yixie's shoulder to wake up the other party, but he didn't expect to touch the other party's buttocks, but he didn't care that he had touched the wrong one, and just pushed and called Sun Yixie softly.

"Well..." Sun Yixiu was sleeping soundly. After being woken up, she was a little angry, so she said, "...Mom, what are you trying to grab my butt?"

"Shh Brother Sun, listen, is there a bell sound over there?" Linghu Xiang lowered his voice and continued.

When Sun Yixiu heard this, he stopped talking and immediately raised his ears to listen.

"Damn it!" Two seconds later, Sun Yixie was shocked and immediately lost her sleepiness. He continued softly, "What's the situation..."

"I don't know either... I just woke up, too." Linghu Xiang replied in a trembling voice.

"Damn... hurry up, let's go and wake up the others." Sun Yixie didn't think much about it. His first reaction was that there were too many people and was brave.

So, after the two timid guys had a little adaptation to the darkness, they followed the road and touched the big house.

The two of them didn't sleep too far, only about twenty meters away, so they arrived in a blink of an eye.

As soon as they arrived at the door, before they could speak, a few sounds of pulling out weapons came from the room, and at the same time, a cold saying: "Who is it?"

Listening to the voice, this sentence was asked by Huang Donglai.

Obviously, the five sleeping in the house had already woken up after hearing the movement and were on guard.

"It's us." Sun Yixie replied.

Because Brother Sun's voice is very distinctive, it is enough for him to reply to these three words.

"Brother Sun, have you heard it too?" Huang Dong said, and had already leaned out of the house; the rest of them came to the door of the house like him.

"Yes." Sun Yixie replied, "It seems to be a ringtone..." He paused and asked a question that everyone was very interested in, "Brother Huang, it's impossible for someone to walk on the mountain road in the middle of the night... It's impossible for him to be a demon, is this?"

"I don't know..." Huang Donglai said, "But no matter whether it is a human or a ghost, the sound is not far from us..."

He said that, but in fact, the other party was still a little far away from them, but because it was night and the valley was very spacious, the ringtone could be heard very far.

"What should I do?" Linghu Xiang suggested at this time, "Why should we ride on our horses and run away?"

"What are you thinking?" Sun Yixie rejected him at that time. "I don't look at the current weather. Just when it was dark in the early morning, I rode a horse on a mountain road without even a guardrail? The underage high beam dog who drove tofu without a license and didn't dare to be so slutty."

"Ah?" Linghu Xiang didn't fully understand this. He asked in confusion, "Is there any tofu here?"

"Don't listen to him nonsense." Huang Donglai brought the topic back on track, "But running away is indeed not a good idea. One is that it is unsafe, and the other is that the sound of horse hooves will reveal our position and number of people... In my opinion, we might as well wait here, keep the enemy's state of being open and dark, and then make a fuss when the other party comes."

Huang Donglai's countermeasures were quickly approved by everyone. Of course, this is because others were not confident when facing the ringtone of this unknown, perhaps supernatural thing, so they could only listen to him to make the decision.

One minute, two minutes...

Five minutes passed in a flash, but for the seven people waiting in the big house, these five minutes were like a year.

Finally, when the ringtone was very close, they saw... "a series of people" walking out of the corner in front.

The man in the lead was a tall man of 1.8 meters tall, wearing a long blue cloth gown, a blue cloth hat, a black belt tied around his waist, straw sandals, and a soul-catching bell shaking on his hands; and the "people" following him were all in black clothes, wearing "zongleaf hats" on their heads, and each of them had a straw rope tied together. The rope "tethered" them to each other, and made them walk with a swaying left and right, which was very strange.

When I saw this, I thought that all the readers understood that the leader was a "corpse-driver", and the ones following him were dead.

Only such people are traveling at night and resting during the day, and they don’t light lanterns.

"Huh?" When the corpse driver came to the nearest of the house, he quickly noticed that some horses were tied to the forest. After he walked a little further, he came to the door of the house, he stopped and said, "If the friend in the house is awake, why not come out and say hello."

Seeing that he spoke up on his own initiative and did not show any malice for the time being, the fear of the people in the room was slightly calmed down.

Soon, Huang Donglai walked out of the dark room alone, kept a distance from the other party, clasped his fists and said, "This friend is polite, how dare you ask... which road is the Lord on?"

And the corpse-driver, in the faint light that ordinary people can't see clearly, looked Huang Donglai up and down, and then replied: "A cup of cinnabar is in his hand, and the three souls and seven spirits follow me."

When Huang Donglai heard these two sentences, his expression showed up and then continued: "Thirty-six is ​​counted in 199, and the sparrow's nest is singing the phoenix."

"It turns out to be a fellow Taoist, I feel respectful and respectful..." The corpse-driver also clasped his fists and said politely when he heard the incision met.

"Where are there... I'm lucky to be lucky." Everyone is polite to you, and Huang Dongzhi wants to give him some revenge.

"Hey, let's come out, it's okay. This is a friend who is "slaying the corpse." The next second, Huang Donglai turned around and said to the six people in the room.

Except for Tyrel, the six people inside understood the meaning of driving corpses; although they had never seen a real "pilot driver", they had heard of the name of this profession and some anecdotes.

Therefore, after a brief hesitation, the other six people also came out of the house.

After greetings between the two sides, everyone realized that the name of the corpse driver was Liang Jingshuo, who was 30 years old. Although he was not old, he was already an old corpse driver who had been in the army for almost ten years.

Liang Jingshuo told Shuangxiu and others that the big house behind them was actually a "corpse inn" and was specially designed for corpse drivers and corpse living; during the day, corpse drivers would take all the bodies to the back of the door panel of the house, and stand in a row to prevent them from getting sunny. They would sleep in the middle of the house until it was dark, and then go out to rush out... This is why there are no windows or furniture in this room.

After listening to his popular science, everyone felt a chill on their backs. No wonder the room was "heavy in yin energy".

Sun Yixie directly started to complain about Huang Donglai's ignorance and brought his brothers into the trap. When Huang Donglai heard this, he spread his hands and said that the Taoist priests and corpse-drivers could only be considered "half-way-way" and that he should not understand these things. Then the two of them squirted about crosstalk, wasting more than ten minutes of everyone's time.

After a while, Jiang Muchan asked a more useful question: "By the way, Master Liang, I have heard that you corpse-drivers use 'yin gong' to lead the corpse and 'bell' to open the way, but I don't know why you only shaking the bell but not moving the gong?"

He was right. According to the rules, when the corpse driver is walking, both gongs and bells are indispensable: "Bells" are shaken to the living people and remind everyone, "I want to beat this place", so you should give in to the Tao, and those with dogs and children at home should be locked up quickly, so as not to bark or the children's crying will shock the corpse; while "yin gongs" are knocked to the dead, and the dead corpse can follow the corpse driver when the corpse sounds the gong.

But... Liang Jingshuo in front of him was just shaking the bell and not moving the gong, and still leading the dead body away, which was unusual.

"Well..." Liang Jingshuo's eyes flashed when asked this question, "The thirteen I received is a bit different from ordinary dead bodies, but what is the difference... I can't say it."

Each walk has its own rules, but some rules are common, such as... when the other person says the word "inconvenient to say", outsiders will generally "inconvenient to ask again".

Since Master Liang's story has come to this point, everyone will not ask questions again.

Now that morning is approaching, Shuangxi and his group can no longer sleep, so they no longer "occupied the corpse house" and simply gave the house to Master Liang and the dead bodies, and were ready to lead the horse on the road.

Unexpectedly, just as the two of them passed by the not-too-wide mountain road... One of the thirteen dead bodies stepped on a small pit on the ground, and then staggered and slipped down to the side.

This was not a big deal, because the thirteen dead bodies were strung with straw ropes, one fell down in the middle, and two still standing in front and back were held, so the one who fell down would not leave the team and roll down the hillside or the like.

But... at this moment, the side of the slippery dead body happened to be Sun Yixie...

Everyone knows Brother Sun's courage, and his reaction is also particularly "smart". Faced with the sudden "corpse pounce" in this dark environment, he screamed out instantly: "Ah"

With this shout, Brother Sun turned around and instinctively rushed towards his nearby companion, and the one closest to him was Huang Donglai...

At this moment, Huang Donglai was also stupid. He didn't know why. Brother Sun in front of him suddenly screamed like a pig, and then he was knocked down by the other party with a grapple move. If Brother Huang hadn't had a short neck, he might have been suffocated by the "throat lock" combo of this hand.

But this was not over yet. When Brother Huang fell, Lin Yuancheng and Tyrel behind him were also taken down.

As we just mentioned before, this mountain road...it doesn’t have guardrails.

These people walked on the side of the downhill, and were unprepared to the ground by people who were very close to them in the dark, losing balance. Even if they wanted to use light skills to adjust their posture immediately, they didn't know where to leverage their strength in the dark, let alone the weight of their predecessors was pressing on them, and Tyrel and Brother Sun had no light skills at all.

As a result, the result was obvious... The four of them began to roll down the slope next to the road.

In desperation, the reactions of the four people were also consistent: they all grabbed the people in front and behind with their hands, one was because they were afraid that the people in front would fall, and the other was because they hoped that the people in behind could hold them and the people in front would not fall.

However, Tyrel was walking at the end of the seven, behind him...no one.

But Tyrel, who was born with a height and a wingspan, still grabbed something in the dark and a straw rope.

In this way, an accidental accident and a series of absurd chain reactions triggered extremely terrible consequences.
