It was dark at night, and Chen Jiaoxi was sandwiched between the two of them. He was originally being carried away. However, the large Taoist robe covered the marks of the bamboo poles on their shoulders, making it look like he was walking alone.
"I have simply disposed of the body. His body will remain stiff within twelve hours, making it easier for us to travel."
Xiao Yinchou's voice shocked Lin Chu. He actually told himself the secret of the corpse exorcism technique?
"Xiao Yinchou." Lin Chu frowned and said, "What do you want?"
Family secrets are the magic weapon that everyone relies on to save their lives, but he revealed it to himself without any precautions, and allowed himself to see the truth about the corpse exorcism.
Lin Chu felt vigilant in his heart. Living people never guard against dead people. He suddenly said this to himself... was he planning to kill people and silence them?
"The art of exorcising corpses originated from ancient times." Xiao Yinchou's voice was slowly carried by the night wind: "According to legend, the Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought in a great battle, resulting in numerous casualties. In order to allow the soldiers who died in the war to return to their homeland for burial, Chi You asked a magician to use the art of exorcising corpses.
The corpses of the soldiers were sent back to their hometowns and buried in peace. Since then, the art of exorcising corpses has been spread in southern Xinjiang to this day."
The man's voice was low and ethereal, not as stiff and lifeless as in the past. Combined with the night wind and the clear sound of the soul-catching bell, people listened to it and heard that the night was gloomy, and they felt like they were in a dream.
"Why are you telling me this?" Lin Chu's voice was cold and calm, and he felt that Xiao Yinqiu was very strange tonight.
"I'm telling you this." Xiao Yinchou said in a deep voice: "I just want you to know that the art of exorcising corpses is not a witchcraft, and we, the black witch Xiao family, are not evil people."
After saying this, the man never spoke again. The only sounds in the surroundings were the soul-catching bells and the soul-chasing gongs.
It was a hazy night, and the three of them were wearing the same loose robes. Teacher Chen had a tall felt hat, and the bright yellow talisman hanging from his forehead was flying up and down as his body beat. People who didn't know what was going on looked at it and felt it was strange.
Li Tianshou's whole body lit up when he looked at him: "The Yin people are on their way! It's really the Yin people who are on their way! I really opened my eyes today. This kid is qualified to be my apprentice."
He Lianchen gave him a sideways glance: "You can have this apprentice."
Li Tianshou's expression condensed, and then he shook his head: "No, he is too ugly. I am suave, handsome, and unrestrained. I cannot accept such an ugly disciple!"
He Lianchen: "Heh."
He cast his gaze into the distance, looking at the retreating figure from a distance: "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't want to see Wuji Bank again!"
At this moment, Lin Chu and Xiao Yinchou had already left the camp. After walking a few miles further, they could vaguely see the closed gate of Shangjing City.
"At this hour, the city gate has been closed." Lin Chu frowned and said.
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Yinqiu said: "The chief teacher said that you can just send the person outside the city gate. Someone will take his body home when the gate opens tomorrow. The medicine I gave him is enough to have twelve effects.
hour, the body will not rot until tomorrow morning."
After a person dies, rigor mortis will only appear in the early stage, and will gradually become soft and rotten in the later stage. In addition, the hot weather now will accelerate the rotting of the corpse.
Lin Chu squinted his eyes. Chen Jiaoxi's body was so stiff that no one could tell the original time of his death. Plus he was dressed like this...
I'm afraid that whoever opens the city gate tomorrow morning will be frightened half to death. From now on, there will be many strange rumors in the capital city.
"Let's go." Xiao Yinqiu collected the bamboo pole and said, "It's midnight tomorrow, don't miss the time."
Lin Chu glanced at the city gate and quietly retracted his clenched fingers.
She originally held a token in her palm, which was given to her by Lin Zhi to allow her to enter and exit the city gate at will. The Zongzheng Mansion had a special status, Duanmulang gave them many special rights, and Lin Zhi gave it to her.
She promised Lin Zhi that she would return to the city to see him every five days after entering the camp. What happened to Teacher Chen was an accident. It was almost Haishi, and Lin Zhi should have gone to bed long ago.
"Let's go." She frowned. She hoped that if she didn't come back today, it wouldn't cause any uproar.
