The last kind of skill is the "resurrection skill". The better the soul-resurrection skill, the more souls of the dead corpse will be recovered, and it will be particularly easy to pick up the corpse.

The last kind of skill is the "resurrection skill". The better the soul-resurrection skill, the more souls of the dead corpse will be recovered, and it will be particularly easy to pick up the corpse. This "resurrection technique" actually uses a special herb from western Hunan to be sprinkled on the corpse. What is particularly worth mentioning is that this unique industry is only possible in western Shonan. Because, first, only Xiangxi has a "dead corpse inn". 2. Only the people in western Hunan know how to avoid the corpse exorcists when they hear it. 3. There is a road outside the village in Xiangxi, but roads in other provinces generally pass through the village. Of course they will not allow dead bodies to enter the village. 4. When people in Xiangxi hear the sound of sinister gongs, they will take the initiative to lock up the dogs at home. Otherwise, when the dogs come out, they will chew up the dead bodies. Therefore, this very unique industry of exorcism is only found in Xiangxi.

Many scientists are studying how dead bodies can be driven away by living people. Everyone says differently. Maybe one day, this strange industry and phenomenon that is difficult for ordinary people to understand will get the scientific explanation it deserves. However, another theory is that "cadaver driving" is actually a smuggling operation carried out by gangs, using this creepy procession to hide illegal drug trafficking activities.

The incredible "screaming to death"

The author has seen a piece of paper spread out by the roadside, with six characters written in big letters on it: "spelling to death". I didn't believe it would happen at the time, but I later witnessed this spectacle with my own eyes.

As the saying goes, the Chinese people are particularly attached to their hometown. No matter what, the fallen leaves must return to their roots. A wanderer who dies in a foreign land must be buried in the tomb of his ancestors according to his own wishes; a filial son and a virtuous grandson must move back to his hometown in mourning, and relatives and friends who know each other have the obligation to help this matter. It was not possible for a while, so he had no choice but to seize the house. Apart from showing off his wealth, this was not easy to do! In response to this situation, there is a profession other than the seventy-two lines of "crying people to death" (yang means shouting, and the actual action is to drive, but the action of driving is usually accompanied by verbal sounds, such as chasing chickens. , driving pigs is called shouting chickens and pigs, driving people to death is also called killing people). It is said that this profession originated from the "Henan Cult", so it is also called "Henan Cult to Kill People". But what is the form and content of "Henan Religion", whether the official name is like this, and whether it is even the word "Henan", although the author has interviewed a very experienced old man, I still can't find out the details. But many old people said that they saw dead people walking on Xiangguan Avenue with their own eyes. It was absolutely true!

In my early years, I also saw pieces of paper spread out by the roadside, with six characters written on them: "The dead must be sent to the province." In fact, I always feel a bit unconvinced: How can dead people walk? Is it really as the old people say, "Evil laws have their own magical power"?

At the end of 1949, Meishan, Pengshan, Danling and Qingshen in Sichuan had just been liberated. At that time, I worked in the Minjiang River Water Transport Management Department in this area. Shortly after noon one day, I was walking on the road at the boundary of Pengshan. Then someone passed by me behind me, and I immediately noticed that he was walking in a weird way, with sticks poking at him, which was very unnatural. I couldn't help but stop and look back, and a soft voice sounded in my ears: "Screaming to death!" At this time, another pedestrian caught up with me. He saw the suspicious look on my face and deliberately woke me up. I suddenly realized it, so I looked more carefully: the "dead man" was wearing a long and big black robe with no sleeves, which was a bit bloated. His head seemed to be a little black and bulging. I don't know if it was a collar or something wrapped around it. It was a straw hat. Covered, the straw hat is slightly tilted back. His upper body was stiff, but he moved forward rhythmically step by step. There was another man in short clothes in front of the black robe, with a bamboo basket or something like that on his left wrist, and an old lamp in his hand, as if there was a little fire burning in front of him. The way the man in short clothes walks is also strange: he always leans sideways, facing the black robe with a fairly half-face; his eyes are fixed on the black robe and behind him, and he tilts his head to look ahead from time to time. Everywhere he walked, a small piece of paper fell from his hand. I quickly thought that this was "paper money", the so-called "travel money" that is left along the way when carrying a coffin to a funeral. Driven by curiosity, I followed him for a long distance. When going uphill or downhill, on a bridge or under a bridge, the man in short clothes still calls out to the man in black robe; when turning or reversing, the man in black robe also listens to the voice of the man in short clothes.

According to the candid account, it is shocking! It turns out that all the secrets are in the back of that folder. On the surface, it seems to contain paper money and scented wax. They are all a trick to deceive people and distract people's attention. Surprisingly, the bottom layer of the paper contained a corpse. To be precise, the contents of the back are the head and limbs of the deceased. As for the main part, it is unknown which deserted tomb contains the remains of the wanderer
