This place was discovered by the Sun Prince back then, which greatly improved the Sun Prince and made him undergo a huge change. Not only did his body become stronger, but his will and mental power became stronger. Why did the prince walk 100,800 miles and find God's instructions because he became stronger here. Now what the half immortal has to do is the same as the prince, and he must also become stronger. Only when he becomes stronger can he get respect from others and fulfill his promises. He is very clear that his cultivation is far from enough, and he cannot save others, nor can he save himself. If he is strong enough, the village puppets will not bully him, and he will not kill them.

He had to be very cautious today, and he could not do anything else. The half-immortal's eyes showed sharp light and walked straight to the depths of the darkness. He walked carefully. He held a torch in his hand and a soul-catching bell in one hand. If you ask him why he didn't hold a wooden sword, he had to pull the soul-catching bell. Then you don't know. I wonder if you have heard of an ancient profession called a corpse-driver. Body-driver is a legendary spell that can drive corpses to walk. It is a type of Miao witch technique and is part of the Chu witch culture.

Gu is divided into black witchcraft and white witchcraft, which is the division between black and white, which is what people call white seedlings and black seedlings. Black seedlings refer to witchcraft with cruel means and witchcraft without professional ethics. Baimeng refers to wizards who are good at witchcraft but mainly save people and cure diseases and help others eliminate disasters and solve problems, and refers to people with good intentions. Driving corpses is white witchcraft, and their purpose is very simple, which means that they do not want people to die in a foreign land, and want to find a home for them. The so-called return to their hometown regardless of whether they have made great achievements during their lifetime, even if they are traitors and evil people, their bodies want to be properly placed, so they follow the corpse driver and go through the province and the province to return to their hometown.

But driving the corpse is not about driving the corpse back to its hometown, but just leading the corpse through the desolate and rugged mountainous areas and bypassing the places where people live. Leave it to the relatives in the village who come to pick it up, and let them put the corpse into the coffin and use other means of transportation to transport the coffin back to the countryside and buried it. In other words, due to the limitations of manpower conditions, it was impossible to carry the coffin through mountains and rivers. Ordinary families cannot afford so much money, so it is impossible to transport the corpse back. If there is a need, there is a market. At this time, the profession of driving the corpse came into being.

It has to be said that it also means that people in the Earth Dynasty are particularly attached to their hometown. No matter how they are doing, Ye Luo must return to their roots. In the eyes of the ancients, this is the most miserable way to die in a different place. The wandering sons who leave their hometown must be buried in the ancestral grave. Filial sons and grandchildren must move back to their hometowns, and relatives and friends have the obligation to fund this matter. The ancients talked about filial piety the most, which is also part of filial piety. Wanderers who leave their hometown also have parents, and how well their children are doing is also the flesh of their parents' hearts. Even if some parents don't like their children during their lifetime, at least they will not be willing to die in a foreign land and have no home.

In ancient times, such as the upper reaches of the Yuan River in Xiangxi, the place was barren, and the poor went to eastern Sichuan or eastern Guizhou to serve as hawkers, collect herbs or hunting to make a living. Those places were mostly steep, with heavy miasma in the mountains, falciparum often prevalent, and the living environment was extremely bad. People who came here were fighting for their lives.

If there was no way, no one would have gone here to make a living. Except for the local Miao people, outsiders rarely went there. Businessmen who died in those places were all workers who wanted money and life, and none of them were rich people. In the traditional way, the concept of transporting corpses to return to their hometowns was deeply rooted.

However, as I said just now, on the rugged mountain road of thousands or hundreds of miles, even if you have money, it is difficult to carry it with a vehicle or stretcher. Moreover, it is almost impossible to carry a heavy coffin, so someone created this strange economic method to transport the body back to his hometown.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, Apu (Miao language: father-in-law) Chiyou, the ancestor of the Miao people, led his troops to fight against the hostile side by the Yellow River until the corpses were everywhere and blood flowed into a river. After the war was about to retreat to the rear. After the soldiers carried all the wounded soldiers away, Apu Chiyou said to Apu military advisor beside him: "We cannot leave the brothers who died here in battle and ignore them. How about you use some magic to make these good brothers return to their hometown?"

Military advisor Apu said, "Okay. Let me change your outfits, take the 'talismal talisman' in front, and I will supervise you in the back." So Military advisor Apu dressed up as Apu Chiyou, stood among the corpses of the brothers who died in battle, and after silently chanting spells and praying to the gods, he shouted loudly at the corpses: "Brothers who died, this is not a place where you can die. You are in vain to die now. Your hometown parents are looking for your neighbors, and your beautiful wife and young son are waiting for you to return to your hometown. Don't be confused by your soul. As the law is in a hurry, get up!"

The corpses originally lying on the ground stood up and followed Apu Chiyou's high-rise "Fujie" and walked southward in a regular manner. The enemy's pursuers came, and Apu Chiyou and Apu military advisor jointly brought "five-point fog" and trapped the enemy in the maze formation. Because it was the magic of "Si" (implementation, operation intention) of the Apu Military Advisor to escape the danger, everyone called him "Lao Si" since then. Since the last use of Apu Lao Si used to defend the enemy was actually "fog technique", and there were too many strokes of "fog" that were difficult to write, it was rewritten into the word "Witch" and replaced it.

In fact, the word witch is also a hieroglyph: the horizontal line above represents the sky or fog, the horizontal line below represents the earth, and the vertical line in the middle represents the "天文"; there is a character on each side of the vertical line, the one on the right represents Apu Chiyou, and the one on the left represents Apu Laosi, which means that two people must unite to do witchcraft. Of course, these are not the key points, the focus is that later people do not have "天文" and cannot summon all the troops and horses. So later generations imitate Chiyou's "天文" and make soul-catching bells. Although they are not one thousandth of the function of "天文", they are more than enough to drive away corpses, and they also have the wonderful use of gathering souls and gathering energy.

Banxian held this thing in his hand, firstly because he was attracted by its effect of exorcism and evil spirits, and secondly because the soul-catching bell would no longer harass him. With this crisp ringtone surrounding it, exuding a sharp momentum, there would probably be no ghosts coming to harm him again.

It must be very strange to everyone. Why do corpse drivers have to rattle the bell when driving corpse? Many people will think of such a secret matter as driving corpse. Why do they still make such a sound, fearing that others don’t know, and they still have to rattle the bell and shout. The corpse drivers naturally know this truth, and the reason why they rattle the bell and shout so loudly

The soul-tapping bell is to tell you that they are corpses who drive away the corpse, and do not get close to people and do not disturb ghosts. And the way half immortals do this now is, and he wants to tell others that he is a Taoist priest with magic power, and that is so confident.

Since he had a handsome and perfect experience, he has felt the difference. He shows off his low-key and does things in a high-profile manner. This is the innate momentum of a handsome person. But this is not the time to show off his handsomeness. He goes straight to the depths of the darkness and looks for the lost cave.

Almost after Banxian walked about a few thousand steps, a light suddenly appeared in his Qiankun bag, which scared Banxian and thought that this was another monster. When Banxian took out the shiny thing and held it in his hand, he picked it up and looked at it. How could it be it? He never thought it would be it. It's okay, it's nothing, it's actually a firefly. Banxian hesitated for a moment. How could there be this little bug in me? It's so strange. After he released the firefly and continued to move forward. The closer he got below, the darker the thicker the darkness, and there were waves of yin and cold air spreading. Even Banxian felt cold. Fortunately, he did not condense the qi but build the foundation, otherwise his body would not be able to bear it at this moment.

About half of the incense stick passed, and the cold air here was like a knife, as if it could tear apart the gold and stones. Banxian thought that practicing in such a place was indeed well-deserved and could make people transform themselves. You could guess at a glance that he had already reached the bottom of the cave. He thought that he was here to be the so-called body refining room.

"Oh, it's not that hard to find. Isn't it just to go to the end?"

There was no grass and trees here, there was endless fog. Through the faint firelight, you could vaguely see that this was an open place, and the surroundings were quiet. There were two senior brothers who were guarding here. Both of them were extraordinary. The half-immortal looked alert and did not act rashly. After all, he threw the fairy child in his guidance, and he felt very guilty. He didn't know where the little bastard had gone. Banxian was afraid that the other party would blame him and did not dare to act rashly, so he looked around first, then lowered his head and his eyes flashed, and his eyes fell on the only area at the bottom of the cave, without fog.

Behind them, there was a three-meter-square hole door. I think they were the gatekeepers. The soil on the edge was deep and seemed to be frozen. I thought it was too dark here, and even the cave could not stand the coldness. The cave door had two huge stone doors, and the runes were everywhere on the stone door, and there were also a few strange talismans. The shape of this stone door was the same as that of a wealthy family. It was more than ten meters long and wide, forming a square shape, facing north and south. It seemed normal and actually was not ordinary. There was also cold air on the stone door, and there was a faint white light on it. You could tell at a glance that some restrictions were imposed on it.

This extraordinary momentum is unknown, and it is pitch black and can't be seen clearly. Frosts of cold air spread out from inside, spreading to the edge, turning into fog. At the entrance of the cave, there are a pair of dark red eyes falling on the stone door, as if they are looking at themselves, but compared to ghosts and gods, this thing is just two little beans. If he hadn't seen ghost eyes before, he would be very scared to see these eyes, but after seeing ghost eyes, these eyes are nothing, nothing is considered? Apart from that, there is nothing here and there is no sight.
