Chapter 16: Be Careful Behind Your Back

There are rules for driving corpses. They follow the rules of driving corpses three times but not driving them. Those who behead their heads, those who are hanged, those who die in a cage can be driven, those who die in a cage can die, those who die in a disease, those who commit suicide, and those who are thunder and fire cannot drive them away.

The reason is that although the former dies physically, the corpse-driver will perform rituals as soon as possible, using cinnabar drawing talisman to shock the deceased's forehead, back, chest, left and right palms, and soles of the feet. Then tie it with five-color ropes to prevent the deceased from leaking out the seven souls.

At the same time, use cinnabar to plug the ears, nose and mouth, seal it with divine talisman, and try your best to retain the three souls. Even if you take sufficient measures, the three souls and seven souls can only be retained for a while.

The deceased has resentment. Only with this resentment that cannot be released can he return to his hometown with the corpse-driven person. Once the resentment is dissipated, his soul will be dissipated.

Bai Yu Palace believes that the technical content of corpses is very low. Which is more difficult, to drive away corpses with three souls and seven spirits, or to summon skeletons with incomplete souls? Even if you think about it with your toes, you can figure it out. Qin Lang deliberately angered her.

The corpse-driver looked straight and continued to move forward with the soul-suming bell. It was already very close to the destination. Not far ahead was the Corpse Inn, which was the coffin shop mentioned by the inn owner just now.

The corpse driving team had already passed halfway through them. The bodies of these corpses were in a straight and in a consistent manner. Every time they took the left foot and dragged the right foot.

Bai Yugong turned his face to Qin Lang, while Qin Lang faced the middle of the street.

The sound of the gong sounded, and all the corpses changed their steps, and they took the right foot, dragged their left foot, and made a loud bang at the same time. At the same time, their heads turned around. The talisman papers on their faces floated up, revealing their lifeless eyes, staring at Baiyugong and Qin Lang who were hugging each other on the roadside.

Qin Lang felt a little nervous, worried that his current identity would be seen through by these zombies.

The corpse-driver took out a handful of paper money and threw it away: "The road is facing the sky, go one side..."

The cold wind blew the light yellow paper money around Qin Lang and Baiyu Palace like a butterfly in the wind.

After the corpse-driven team walked away, Bai Yugong raised his head from Qin Lang's arms, shook off the paper money on his body, and complained: "It's so unlucky!"

He weighed the gold seal, about five taels

"Wait for me, I'll go and exchange the money."

The White Jade Palace exchanged 5 taels of gold seal for 45 taels of silver. Normally, it could be exchanged for 50 taels on the market, but it was enough in Jiaxi Town. It was about to rain, so the two hurried back to the inn.

Baiyu Palace spent three taels of silver to buy a bowl of high-priced noodles, and the rain had already started.

Qin Lang sat in front of the window listening to the sound of rain, motionless.

Bai Yugong came over with a noodle bowl and looked at the stable not far downstairs. The white horse stood in the stable without moving. She wondered in her heart, why is this horse not dead yet? She had actually already planned that as long as the horse died in the inn, she must ask for an explanation from this black shop, and black food! Who is afraid of whom!

Bai Yugong said: "We will leave here early tomorrow morning."

Qin Lang said: "You go to bed early, I'll be on the night tonight."

The entire Jiaxi Town exudes a strange atmosphere that is indescribable and you must be vigilant.

Bai Yugong said, "I'll help you sew your belly first."

Qin Lang sat under the lamp, Bai Yugong squatted down and lifted his clothes, sewed the hole in his belly with needle and thread, and stuffed two bags of freshly prepared cinnabar liquid in it.

Qin Lang said: "Why don't you use a green jade hairpin?"

Bai Yugong said: "That precious things cannot be used casually, and your wounds are not tight." The needlework is good. He lifted the thread twice along the edge and then tightened the thread. It looked like a chrysanthemum blooming on his belly, and the appearance was a bit familiar.

Bai Yugong tied a knot and tightened it, knelt down on one leg and bit off the silk thread.

Bang!

The window next to the corridor suddenly fell down. Bai Yugong was shocked and turned around to look, but saw a stunned little book boy standing outside the window.

Xiao Shutong said with awkward expression: "I really didn't touch the window, I just happened to pass by."

Bai Yugong thought he was eavesdropping, and stood up and said angrily: "Boy, stop for me!"

Xiao Shutong turned around and ran away, entered the next room and quickly tied the door.

Zhao Changqing, who was reading a book under the lamp, saw Shutong running in with a pale face and panting, and said in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"I... I just...when I passed by the next room, I saw them...they..."

"What are they doing?" Although Zhao Changqing was loyal and honest, he was still curious.

Shutong pushed Zhao Changqing to sit on the chair, and he squatted in front of him, and said vividly: "The man was sitting at that time, and his sister-in-law started like this, and then..."

Zhao Changqing restored the situation at the scene in his mind, and his face turned red.

Xiao Shutong said: "I really didn't touch anything. When I passed by, the window fell down. Young Master, what are they... what are they doing?"

Zhao Changqing coughed and said, "It's not our turn to ask about other people's affairs. As the saying goes, it's better to have less than more things."

He picked up the book he had not finished reading on the table, but he thought of a hot picture, blushing and couldn't read the book anymore. It started to rain heavily outside, and the rain was blown by the wind and sneaked into the room from the window. The little book boy hurried to close the window. Before he could even walk to the window, the window sashes on both sides fell.

The master and servant were stunned and looked at each other, their eyes fell on the list of items on the table at the same time. Any damage to anything is required. One window is twenty taels of silver, and two windows can be forty taels.

Xiao Shutong said: "You believe me now, this window is simply broken."

Zhao Changqing sighed: "Forty taels of silver patterns."

"Young Master, don't be anxious. I'll pick up the window and reinstall it."

Zhao Changqing nodded, saw that the wind and rain were in a hurry outside, and whispered: "You are suffering from the cold, so I'll go, you can wait in the house."

Zhao Changqing picked up the umbrella and went out. He passed by the next room and saw that their window had returned to his place. He didn't know what the uncle and sister-in-law were doing in the room.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Bai Yugong stared at him with a fierce look: "What should I look at? Do scholars understand the principle of not being polite?"

Zhao Changqing knew that he was inappropriate, so he lowered his head and hurriedly ran away.

Bai Yugong closed the door angrily, closed it a little harder, and the window sash in the corridor shook down again. He walked over and picked it up and returned to his position, complaining: "I have traveled all over the country and went to so many places, but I have never stayed in such a broken inn."

Qin Lang said: "Didn't you buy cotton cloth? Use cloth to plug the window seam and then tighten it."

“I used it.”

Qin Lang said: "Did you use it? Where did you use it?"

"You don't have so much nonsense. How do I want to use it and I have to explain it to you?" Bai Yugong blushed and looked for talisman paper to plug the window. Before he could block the windows in the corridor, another window on the north side fell.

A scream came from below. Bai Yu Palace looked down, but the falling window happened to hit Zhao Changqing's umbrella. Fortunately, Zhao Changqing was still holding a umbrella, otherwise the window would have greeted him directly.

Bai Yugong stuck out his tongue and waved down, saying, "I'm sorry, it didn't do it, it fell down by itself." He believed Xiao Shutong's words a little.

Zhao Changqing was scared and sweated coldly. He raised his umbrella and looked up at Baiyu Palace and said, "It's okay, I'll take it for you now."

Bai Yugong nodded: "Thank you."

Zhao Changqing bowed to pick up the window sash. When he picked up the one in his room, he couldn't pick it up. Looking through the rain curtain that fell from the umbrella, he saw a black boot stepping on the window sash. When Zhao Changqing saw the boot, he thought someone was joking with him.

He slowly raised his head and saw a man wearing a hat and a black cloak standing in front of him without moving, with the brim of the hat being pressed down very low, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Zhao Changqing still said politely: "Brother, please be proud and generous..."

The man finally raised his feet, and Zhao Changqing was able to pull out the window sash. Although he felt it was a little weird, he still said respectfully: "Thank you!"

He picked up all the window sashes and was about to leave. When Zhao Changqing saw the man standing still motionless in the rain, he felt a little reluctant and reminded him: "Brother, it's so heavy, so hurry up and go back to the house." He thought that the man was a resident of the store like them.

The man stood there without saying a word. Zhao Changqing was a little bored and said softly: "Young Master said goodbye."

I just turned around and heard the sound of the long sword being sheathed.

Bai Yugong, who had been watching the movement outside in front of the window, screamed: "Needle, be careful behind it."

Zhao Changqing turned around in a hurry, but saw the man slashing at him. Zhao Changqing was panicked and raised the window sash to block the long knife. The knife was too fast and divided the window sash into two.

The night wind blew up the man's long wet hair, revealing a pale face as white as paper. Zhao Changqing was so scared that he threw away the window sash, turned around and ran away, shouting for help while running.

The killer chased after him.

Qin Lang also heard the sound and came to the window. When he saw the scene below, he was shocked and whispered: "What's going on? Who is that person?"

Bai Yugong looked at this guy, but what she thought of was that this guy could actually see it? Didn’t he say that he saw it clearly when he was bathing today? Bai Yugong was both ashamed and angry, and reached out to touch the scissors on the table. This colored skeleton, I can’t kill you.
