But legends are just legends, and real zombies are not that exaggerated. The most popular theory about zombies is probably the exorcism of corpses in Xiangxi.
Ke, originated from the four counties of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu in western Hunan. Since most of these areas are mountainous and difficult for vehicles to pass through, there is an industry of exorcism. Generally, the corpse is expelled by warlocks when it is not decomposed.
Burial in hometown.
What they are chasing are walking corpses. Corpse chasers are called "corpse chasers." They usually drive the corpses to Yizhuang or a fixed shop before dawn. The methods of driving corpses are also various, including floating corpses.
Carrying corpses, flying corpses and even corpses in tanks are unbelievable and have led to many horrific and legendary zombie stories.
The corpses are usually wrapped in a wide black shroud, with a tall felt hat on their head, and a few pieces of yellow paper with spells written on their foreheads hanging down on their faces. In front of these corpses wrapped in black shrouds, there are
A corpse driver holding a gong in his hand. The corpse driver leads the group of corpses forward while beating the small gong in his hand. He usually shouts: "Ashes return to dust, dust returns to dust, life returns to dust."
Life is so hard. Zombie zombies, follow me, return to your hometown and go to the underworld as soon as possible."
Instead of lighting a lantern, the exorcist shakes a soul-catching bell in his hand to avoid night walkers, and notifies people with dogs to lock up the dogs. If there are more than two corpses, the exorcist will string the corpses one by one with straw ropes.
, one every seven or eight feet away. There is also a saying that the reason why corpse exorcists can exorcise corpses is because they use a kind of Miao herbal medicine and apply it to the mouth and nose of the corpse in the bardo, so that it can be removed at night.
He continued to walk like a normal person, but he was unable to speak or think, and he could obediently obey the commands of the corpse chaser.
Among the people in western Hunan, the industry of corpse exorcism has been around since ancient times. Those who learn this industry must meet two conditions: firstly, they must be courageous, and secondly, they must be in good health. Moreover, they must become apprentices. Corpse exorcists never recruit apprentices randomly. Apprentices are recruited by their parents.
First, a document must be established, and then the corpse exorcist must interview. Generally speaking, the candidate must be at least 16 years old and over 1.7 meters tall. There is also a very special condition, the appearance must be ugly. The corpse exorcist first asks the candidate to look
Staring at the sun in the sky, then spinning, and then suddenly stopping, you are asked to immediately distinguish between east, west, north and south. If you can't tell, you can't be hired. Because you don't distinguish between east, west, north and south at this time, it means that you can't tell the direction when driving corpses at night, and you can't.
Driving the corpse. Then, the corpse driver will ask you to find things and carry a load. Because the corpse is not a living person after all, and the corpse cannot climb up the steep slope. The corpse driver will have to carry and carry it up the slope one by one.
.Finally, there is another interview, which is that the corpse exorcist will place a tung tree leaf on a grave in the mountains and ask you to retrieve it alone in the dark. Only in this way can you prove that you have the courage to be a corpse exterminator. These three
If you successfully pass the test, you will have the opportunity to become an apprentice of a corpse exorcist.
Moreover, the corpse exorcist must learn thirty-six kinds of skills before he can exorcise the corpse. The first kind of skill is the "standing skill" of the corpse, which means that the dead body must be able to stand up first. The second skill is the "walking skill".
That is to say, the corpse can stop and walk freely. The third skill is "turning skill", which means that the corpse can turn when walking. In addition, there are also "downhill skill", "bridge crossing skill", "dumb dog skill" and so on.
The "dog power" can prevent the dogs along the way from barking when they see the corpse. The corpse is afraid of the barking of the dog. When the dog barks, the corpse will be frightened, especially when the dog comes to bite, the corpse has no ability to resist. The corpse will be bitten to pieces. The last one
This skill is the "resurrection skill". The better the soul-resurrection skill, the more souls will be recovered from the dead body, and it will be particularly easy to pick up the corpse.
Corpse drivers are usually at home, just like ordinary farmers, "work at sunrise and rest at sunset." Only when they receive the task of driving away corpses, they dress up and go to drive away corpses. Although they work hard
In this industry of corpse removal, the term corpse removal is taboo. Therefore, when experts ask them to remove corpses, they all say: "Master, please go for a walk" or "take a walk". If the corpse removal artist agrees, he will
Take out a special piece of yellow paper and ask you to write the deceased's name, date of birth, date of death, gender, etc. on the yellow paper, then draw a talisman and stick it on the yellow paper. Finally
He hid this piece of yellow paper on himself. The corpse exorcist also wore very special clothes: no matter what the weather, he would wear a pair of straw sandals, a green cloth gown, a black belt around his waist, and a green hat on his head.
He wears a cloth hat and has a pack of talismans hidden in his waistband. The first thing the master teaches his disciples is to draw talismans. This very peculiar talisman is something that looks like words and paintings drawn with an ink pen on yellow paper. On the way, he encounters an accident.
If the situation arises, this strange talisman will be hung on a tree or door facing west, and sometimes it will be burned with ashes and water to swallow.
There is also a saying of "Three to chase and three not to chase" corpses in Xiangxi. Those who were beheaded (their heads must be sewn together), those who were hanged, and those who died standing in a cage can be chased. The reason is:
They were all forced to die, and they died unwillingly. They missed their hometown and their relatives. They used magic to attract their souls, and used spells to suppress their souls in their corpses. Then they used magic to drive them to climb mountains and ridges, and even get on boats.
Shuidi returns to his hometown.
Those who died of illness, those who voluntarily died by hanging themselves in rivers, and those whose limbs were damaged by thunder and fire cannot be eliminated. Among them, those who died of illness have already lived to the end of their lives, and their souls have been lured to King Yama by the ghosts of impermanence.
Naturally, magic cannot call their souls back from the gate of hell; and the souls of those who drowned themselves in the river were "substituted" (that is, they were captured as substitutes) and they may be in the process of handover.
If the soul is summoned and the old dead soul cannot be replaced, won't it affect the reincarnation of the old soul? In the underworld punishment, in fact, King Yama is very disgusted with people who do not cherish their own lives and deliberately commit suicide. Even if he did not do evil in life, he is generally unwilling to agree to let go.
They reincarnate immediately, and have to wait for someone who has the same suicide experience before they are allowed to reincarnate. This may be a long process, so some ghosts who commit suicide will use some despicable means to make some people lose their minds and commit suicide!
I just used the ghost I introduced earlier to find a substitute.
In addition, those who die due to lightning are all sinners, and those who are burned to death by fire often have incomplete skin and flesh, which cannot be eliminated. In fact, this is understandable. According to Tantric theory, there are two types of people who do not have a bardo (death body).
Transitional period), one is a great good person, whose soul immediately goes to heaven and is included in the class of immortals. The second is a great evil person, whose soul falls straight into the eighteenth level of hell, suffering all kinds of suffering, with no way out. And many people die violently.
This is the retribution of evil in the past life, so the magician can't do anything.
