Chapter 176 The origin of corpse exorcism, Chi You and the undead
After hearing the explanation from some folklorists who were watching the interface.
They all had different gains.
"No wonder the zombies in this movie are all jumping around."
“It turns out it’s the bamboo.”
This can also explain why corpse driving in Xiangxi can only be used within the scope of Xiangxi.
After leaving Xiangxi, the effect will be lost.
It turns out that there is also a geographical factor here.
And generally speaking, it seems that there are only two people chasing the corpses.
In fact, there are often three people.
The assistant and the apprentice used bamboos to support the corpses one after another.
The two of them then advanced with the body.
Because bamboo is tough, the corpses look like they are beating from a distance.
"If they really have some kind of witchcraft, supernatural powers."
"Then all they need is one person."
"Why do we still need so many people to collect corpses together?"
These B&B researchers found that the corpse extermination in Xiangxi is not that mysterious after all.
While watching Ye Zhen's program, there was also President Zhu from the Guangdong East Association.
Since Ye Zhen came to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference last time.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Association in eastern Guangdong now knows about Ye Zhen.
President Zhu looked at Ye Zhen as if he were counting treasures from his family.
Every time Ye Zhen's program is broadcast, President Zhu will organize people to watch Ye Zhen's program.
Just Ye Zhen's ability as a living magpie is enough for them to pay attention to Ye Zhen.
Among the Guangdong Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
President Zhu himself has an ancestral copy of "Zhu Youshu's Secret Book of Thirteen Spells and Wonderful Cure Methods".
There are instructions on how to dispose of corpses.
This method of driving away corpses is actually secondary.
The neck of the deceased is covered with cinnabar and affixed with talismans.
Tie it tightly with five-color cloth strips, and then put a rice dumpling leaf hat on the deceased.
There are actually many aspects to these preparations.
The first is that we don’t want the dead to show up, which is disrespectful to the deceased.
In addition, this rice dumpling leaf bamboo hat can hide the disciple who is first in line to remove corpses from others.
Secondly, there are those colorless cloth strips. In fact, these are all necessary for anti-corrosion.
Just like a mummy, pretty much the same principle.
President Zhu also knows that if you want to become a corpse exorcist, you need to learn two secret techniques from the master.
The first is water power. To put it bluntly, it means making an antiseptic potion that can embalm corpses, similar to modern formalin.
The second type is medicinal power. Some herbs are produced for fumigation, and the body is fumigated and dehydrated. This can prevent bacteria and greatly improve the antiseptic effect of the body.
But this is just one of the 36 kinds of witchcraft.
There are still 34 types left to learn, and only after learning them all can you be considered a master.
Standing Kung Fu allows the corpse to stand up.
The walking skill allows the corpse to learn to walk.
Turning power can make the corpse turn.
Downhill Kung Fu, Bridge Crossing Kung Fu, Dumb Dog Kung Fu, Resurrection Kung Fu, etc.
But there was another way at the time.
That is to directly leave the body of the deceased except for the limbs and head.
The rest of the body was discarded and straw was used to fill their bodies.
This can save a lot of energy.
After arriving at the destination, an apprentice will go to the destination in advance to inform the family of the deceased.
And after the corpse arrived at its destination.
The entire process of burial and disposal is not allowed to be viewed by anyone other than the body builder.
They publicized that the deceased could not see outsiders at this time.
Otherwise, there may be a possibility of corpse fraud.
Why has to be this way? Because the body is no longer complete at this time, of course it cannot be seen by outsiders.
Only after everything is ready, the deceased is placed in the coffin and prepared to be buried.
At this time, the cadaver will open the coffin so that the family can take a look and see the face of the deceased.
That's why there is such a rule, because they don't want people to find that the body of the corpse has long been gone, leaving only the head and limbs.
In fact, in the 50s, the 749 Bureau had already investigated.
Ning Xiu was watching Ye Zhen's program with Lao Chen and Xiao Zhou.
"Captain, do you think this Xiangxi corpse exorcism technique is a real special function, or is it just a fake trick similar to magic." Xiao Zhou asked his captain.
At this time, Ning Xiu stared at Ye Zhen on the screen.
Since that day, Ye Zhen has not contacted her.
Ning Xiu said coldly: "I don't know!"
Lao Chen looked at the atmosphere and said, starting to smooth things over.
"Back then, I happened to read the investigative files on the extermination of corpses in western Hunan."
"At first, our investigators went to the local area and found a corpse driver removing the body."
"I wanted to go up and investigate, but the shop owner where they were staying at the time told them."
"In this place in western Hunan, corpse exorcists have no regard for the three things: the people, the soldiers, and the bandits."
"So I advise the two of them not to mess with those corpse chasers."
"This is their custom here."
"But these two investigators are from Bureau 749, so of course they don't believe in this custom."
"Then they followed the corpse chaser to an inn."
"This kind of inn is open 365 days a year."
"The name is the Corpse Inn, an inn where only corpses and corpses live."
"Only they would stay in such an inn."
"Of course, if you, an ordinary person, are not afraid, you can stay there."
When Lao Chen said this, he felt a little thirsty and took a sip of hot tea from his own thermos cup.
Xiao Zhou thought about it in his mind. Normal people would never stay in this kind of corpse only is the name unpleasant, but it is also filled with corpses and corpse chasers.
Even thinking about it made me feel scared. Xiao Zhou continued to ask: "What happened next?"
Old Chen put down his water glass and said, "Later, these two investigators from Bureau 749."
"I went directly to the exorcist's room to investigate."
"But nothing was found because he was the only one in the room."
"This investigation was going to end in vain like this."
"One of the investigators remembered that when he first entered the room, he saw two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, but he was the only one in the room."
"It means there is another person here."
"Then the two of them went to investigate the bodies placed outside."
"They are all alive. They used this as a pretext to smuggle cigarettes."
"This is also the reason why this corpse exorcism technique can only be used in Western Hunan."
Xiao Zhou didn't expect that he would actually use the corpse to smuggle cigarettes.
"People at that time were so imaginative."
"So this is not some special function at all." Xiao Zhou looked slightly disappointed because of the ground.
Then Xiao Zhou's eyes returned to the screen.
I saw Ye Zhen's weird smile, "This is just a modern scientific explanation."
"And in the last century, folklore scholars have already studied it."
"But do you know where the source of the corpse driving in western Hunan is?"
The source of corpse driving in western Hunan? The audience doesn't understand.
“Isn’t it originally to allow those who died in a foreign land to return to their roots?”
"Back then, Xiangxi was a mountainous area, and many people in Xiangxi went out to work. Some of them died unexpectedly outside and wanted their bodies to be buried in their hometowns."
"No, the corpse exorcism in Xiangxi originated from witchcraft, so it has something to do with the witch clan!"
I only heard Ye Zhen say: "Actually, when this was first born, it was related to Chi You."
"I have to say here that there are three major wars between gods that have affected the history of our country."
"The Battle of Zhulu, the Battle of Banquan and the Battle of Buzhou Mountain."
"The battle of Zhulu is the battle between Chi You and Huang Di."
"The art of exorcising corpses was born during this period."
"It is said that Chi You and Huang Di were at war, and then some of Chi You's brothers went to the battlefield and died after the battlefield."
"Chi You and his men couldn't bear to let these brothers and sisters die in the wilderness like this."
"Then a witch doctor was called, and then the witch doctor woke up all the dead soldiers."
"Bury these soldiers on the east side of the Hungarian Kingdom."
It turns out that the art of driving corpses originated from the battle of chasing deer, and was Chi You's idea? But some people feel that this scene seems familiar.
Someone suddenly remembered that this bra-wearing country seemed to have appeared in a previous show!
Some viewers wanted to reminisce.
"Why does this breast-wearing country look so familiar?"
"Did you say that in the previous program?"
"I remember it seemed like it was on some program in that episode."
"Yes, the undead were mentioned at that time, those zombies from ancient times."
Some viewers with good memories remembered it.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Do you think this breast-piercing country is familiar to you?"
"It is recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas": The immortal people are in the east of it. They are black, long-lived, and immortal. One day, they are in the east of Chuanxiong Kingdom."
After Ye Zhen recited this sentence, the audience's memories were awakened one after another.
"Yes, those soldiers who were awakened by the witch doctor all turned into undead."
"That is, existence similar to current zombies."
In this way, everyone can be contacted.
It turns out that it was not for the purpose of burying his own soldiers.
But it is to allow the witch doctor to obtain a large amount of experimental materials!
Therefore, the birth of the Immortal Kingdom was actually caused by the witch doctor.
In the war between Huangdi and Chiyou, I don't know how many people died.
This can directly become an immortal country.
This is excellent experimental material for a witch doctor.
The corpses were transformed into undead people, which are zombies and zombies.
This is all to research the elixir and bring people back to life! The audience was greatly shocked. They did not expect that the exorcism of corpses in western Hunan had such a origin.
"So the technique of exorcising corpses was actually developed by ancient witch doctors for research purposes."
"But this can be said to be authentic witchcraft."
"This is not witchcraft. This is advanced biological black technology!"
"So what we have now is just some fake Xiangxi corpse exorcism technique?"
Ning Xiu remembered that there was a record in the database.
There are indeed people with similar super powers.
There is a place called Indonesia in a foreign country.
There is a kind of black magic in the local area, which is similar to the art of exorcising corpses.
The black magic users there can drive the corpses away and let them walk to the tomb on their own.
According to archival records, this is a supernatural power that cannot be explained by science.
It's like a special function.
At this time, Ye Zhen continued: "Those witch doctors back then were trying to research the elixir of death."
"The same was true for Taoists back then, in order to pursue immortality."
"I have told you about the previous program, Fang Xiandao from the pre-Qin period."
"The later special functions of qigong were actually for the pursuit of immortality."
"I have to mention here that a large tree from the Han Dynasty was unearthed here in southern Hunan."
"A corpse that can be called a miracle was unearthed here."
"It was more than 2000 years later when the body was unearthed."
"But the face was lifelike, as if he had just died."
"This is the thousand-year-old immortal female corpse that can be called a miracle in the world."
"Mawangdui ancient corpse, Mrs. Xin Zhui."
