Chapter 43
"Okay, I try my best to be as strong as possible than my opponent."
Uncle Liao patted my shoulder and said, "Chuangzi, you dare to face Bai Dansheng alone. This is extraordinary courage. The reason why Uncle Liao takes you by his side in everything is that he hopes that one day you can become an independent person. But now you don't have enough confidence, but I believe you will mature soon."
After hearing this, I said without hesitation: "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely not disappoint you."
Uncle Liao nodded and said, "For those who have helped us twice, don't be fooled by them. These people have a vicious face and are obviously not on the right path. Although they have helped us several times, there must be conspiracy and keep a distance from them."
"We are not afraid of him either." Rocky said confidently.
"A mountain has its own height. Since people dare to lurk around you, they are not afraid of you flying away. In short, we are not afraid of trouble, but we will never cause trouble."
While we were talking, we were approaching the corpse-driving inn. There was no sound in the quiet mountains and forests in the dark. The wind blew by. Although it was midsummer, I still emitted cold air from the inside out. I always felt a big mouse suddenly jumping out of the dark forest around me, grinning and chewing my neck.
As I was sweating in my cold sweat, a ghostly voice came from somewhere and said, "Masters and ladies, beggars, please enjoy the food." My scalp exploded and my whole body was numb. At this time, where did the beggars come from here?
Uncle Liao was not surprised. He made a silent gesture and said, "Don't move around, we have met someone who invites God of Joy."
Luo Qi said: "In this year, can there be corpse-drivers in Qinglong Mountain?"
"The Yellow River is not far from Qinglong Mountain. There are often workers on the riverside who die for some reason and need to be sent to villages across the river or further away. However, in recent years, I have never heard of anyone driving the body here. In short, let's be careful." He took us to hide in a pine tree.
The cold mountain wind blew through the dark dense forest and flew into another darkness with dust. After a moment, a man in a black robe and Taoist temple "stripped" out of the darkness. He held a bowl of clear water in his left hand, kept dipping his two fingers with his right hand and ejected it around, repeating the sentence while bounced.
When the man disappeared, Rocky said, "Where is the corpse?"
Then a sound of bells came, and a pair of strange red lights lit up in the darkness.
I was so scared that my whole body shook. Uncle Liao lowered his voice and said, "There are those who are driving Luo Jingdao in front, and now they are the corpse-drivers and the God of Joy."
At this time, the moon slightly showed a scimitar shape, but the subtle moonlight added a little gloomy. There were bursts of "puff" sounds from the mountain road, just like the sound of someone using wooden stakes to make rice cakes. The red light quickly penetrated the darkness and was actually a person's eyes.
This man is tall and burly, with an ugly and fierce face. With a pair of shining red eyes, people will feel fear when they see him from afar. However, this man is wearing a blue cloth dress with open neck, revealing his muscles and black hairy chest. He holds a long stick wrapped in white linen in his left hand, and sways a copper bell in his right hand, and walks slowly forward.
Behind him were six "people" wearing white robes, white scarfs, and white cloth covering their mouths. All of these "people" had wide and dull eyes, and their shriveled skin caused the eye sockets to sink, and the skin color was ashen with black gray.
Just looking at your eyes, you will know that these are six mummies.
The six corpses raised their hands flat, and their wide sleeves were fan-shaped from the wrist to the waist. When the corpse-driver took two steps left and right, they would leap forward and cooperate forward and backward so well.
The man "Caidao" walked to the "Carrying Inn" and stood still. After all the seven "people" entered, they followed them, and the deadly silence returned to the mountains and forests.
Uncle Liao said: "The people who had been in the past were to let the people avoid it and call the dog home. The one with red eyes was the corpse-driver. Because asking the corpse to perform the Yin skills, once the human blood was used, it would fill the eyeballs. Over time, the eyes would flash red in the darkness."
"These people took over the corpse driving inn, what should we do?" Luo Qi said.
Uncle Liao thought for a while and said, "Yesterday we exhausted the rat demon's essence and took it down without any effort. When it recovers tomorrow, it will be hard to say anything."
"I don't want to provoke these two people with awesomeness," said Rocky.
Uncle Liao frowned and thought for a long time, "It is best not to disturb others in the place where the corpse-driven people come and go, but if we don't disturb us, how can we deal with the rat demon in the inn?" After thinking for a long time, Uncle Liao said, "We have to discuss with them, Chuanzi, you have the benefits of Luosha Master. I have a fate with them, so let me talk with you."
I walked to the door of the corpse-driving inn with two deep feet and one shallow feet, and heard a thick voice in the room saying, "Look, my nails are harder than stone lumps and sharper than the tip of a knife. Is there any help?"
Another person said: "There is no reason you will get poisoned by corpse. What's going on?"
"I can't understand, maybe I was sprayed with a breath of corpse poison when I asked for it?"
"No matter what the reason is, you have to treat it. There are people who can remove corpses and poison in the village. Why should I bear it?"
"It's not a corpse-driver. Who dares to find me if the corpse-driver is infected with the poison of the corpse?
"You think so much, is life or money important?"
"Oh..." The man with a powerful voice breathed, as if he was helpless.
"I really don't know what to hesitate. If I were you, I would designate to find someone to remove the poison, and I will be discouraged."
Uncle Liao said outside: "The poison of corpses is easy to remove, but people's hearts are unpredictable. This brother is not trying to die, but he cannot find a way out."
With a creaking, the rotten wooden door of the corpse-driving inn opened. The corpse-driving maker with red eyes opened the door like an iron tower, looking at me with a surprised expression.
"Who are you guys in the middle of the night?"
Uncle Liao pointed at me and said, "Attacking the wise man, Mr. Rakshasa saved the child's life, we are here to thank him."
The red-eyed man scratched his head, and saw his scalp dancing around in the fire. He had not washed his hair for many years and said, "Have you been in this room?"
"Yes, we stayed for one night. The child's soul was unstable and he caused a soul foul. He could only take him to the Rakshasa master's place to avoid the limelight. Fortunately, after that night, he also raised him for more than ten years."
"Oh." The corpse-driver nodded slightly and said, "There is a God of Joy inside the house, and you can only burn incense outside."
He was about to turn around and enter the room and Uncle Liao said, "Master, please stay. I see the poison you are infected with. If you let it develop, the consequences will be unpredictable."
"This... I'm not poisoned at all." asked the corpse-driver.
"I can't see any poison, but I'm sure to get rid of it for you." Uncle Liao said.
"Haha, you see, I'm a corpse-driver, I just want to get poisoned by me, right? I'm not..."
Before he finished speaking, Uncle Liao opened his left hand and saw that his hands were covered with hard skin, calluses were blue and purple, and they looked like the skin of a leper patient. His nails turned gray and white, and his nails were thick and old, and obvious signs of frustration could be seen. His big hands emitted an unpleasant smell, and the man was about to vomit.
"You are not infected with corpse poison. This is a poisonous fish called Jinzhi Xikui. This fish grows in underground rivers and has extremely poisonous fins. Once it is cut through the human skin, this kind of symptoms will appear. The detoxification method is very simple. The leaves of the ginkgo tree are mixed with soil."
"That's so simple?" He looked disbelieved.
Uncle Liao smiled slightly, and after going to a ginkgo tree in the mountains, he worked hard for a while and dug a handful of wet mud wrapped in broken green leaves, and carefully applied it to the corpse-driver's arm. After a moment, the stench became even stronger. The corpse-driver's hand, wrapped in mud, trembled slightly, and his expression became painful: "My hands are so numb and itchy."
"Wait for a moment and it will take effect soon." Uncle Liao said slowly.
After a while, drops of black liquid as black as ink seeped out of the mud, lowering the mud, and the rotten smell was even more unacceptable.
"This is obviously a corpse poison fluid, how come it becomes a golden needle again?" The corpse-driver said, enduring the biting and itchy.
"If it is a corpse poison, can it be pulled out with the soil mixed with ginkgo leaves?" Uncle Liao scraped off the black mud with the branches and rinsed it with clean water. Sure enough, the purple tinea pleuris on the arm of the corpse maker disappeared, and the skin reappeared in normal color.
