There are mysterious corpses in western Hunan. In the early days, when you stayed in a small inn in a mysterious mountain village in western Hunan, you were very likely to see dead bodies walking. Before dawn, a line of corpses staggered in front of the small inn, all covered with wide black shrouds. In front of these corpses covered with black shrouds, there is a living person holding a gong. This living person is called the "corpse driver" by the locals. In fact, it is better to say that he is a "cadaver driver" than a "corpse leader" because he leads the group of corpses forward while beating the small gong in his hand. Instead of lighting a lantern, he shook a soul-catching bell in his hand to keep people away at night and to notify people with dogs to lock them up. If there are more than two corpses, the exorcists will use straw ropes to string the corpses one by one, every seven or eight feet away. When walking in the dark, the corpse will wear a tall blanket hat on its head and several pieces of paper on its forehead. The yellow paper with the talisman written on it hangs down on his face. There is a "dead corpse inn" on the road. This mysterious "dead corpse inn" only houses corpses and corpse collectors, and is not accessible to ordinary people. Its doors are open all year round. Because behind the two door panels is where the corpse rests. The corpse collectors drove the corpses to the "dead corpse shop" before dawn and left quietly at night. The corpses were standing neatly against the wall behind the door panel. If it's hard to walk on a heavy rainy day, I'll stop in the store for a few days or nights.

According to the unanimous opinion of the locals: the person who drove away the corpses was a mage wearing a Taoist robe. No matter how many corpses there were, he would drive them away alone. This is the same as in Hong Kong movies. It is better to say "to lead" than to "drive" the corpse, because the mage is not behind the corpse, but leads the way in front of the corpse. He beats the gong as he walks to avoid night walkers, and those who have dogs lock up the dogs. When there are more than one corpse, they are connected with straw ropes, one every six or seven feet.

Why is there a business of "removing corpses"? Because the area in the upper reaches of the Yuanjiang River in western Hunan is barren, poor people often go to eastern Sichuan or eastern Guizhou to make a living as hawkers, medicine collectors or hunters. Those places are surrounded by steep mountains and miasma is very heavy in the mountains. False malaria is often prevalent, and the living environment is extremely bad. Except for the local Miao people, outsiders rarely go there. None of the Han people who died in those places were rich, and the Han people had a strong tradition of transporting corpses back to their hometowns for burial. However, even if they had money, it would be difficult to travel on those rugged mountain roads that are thousands or hundreds of miles long. They were carried on vehicles or stretchers, so some people created this strange economic method to transport corpses back to their hometowns.

No one can point out the true situation of the "corpse driving" in western Hunan. However, it is difficult for the industry of exorcism to work outside of western Hunan. First, accommodation is a problem. Secondly, people walking at night do not know how to avoid the gongs, but instead come to watch the excitement, which would scare people to death. Third, in many villages, there are no roads outside the village, so they must pass through the village. In most places, corpses are not allowed to enter the village, let alone jumping living corpses? At the same time, the residents along the road did not understand this situation and could not ask them to cooperate: they locked up the dogs as soon as they heard the sound of the gong, because the corpse was afraid of the dog. The dog bit the corpse and pulled the clothes, and the corpse had to be dumped. Dogs were easy to deal with. A group came and bit the clothes and even the flesh of the corpse into a mess. Even the corpse chasers were bitten, and the matter was serious, but there were no such difficulties in western Hunan.

The corpse driving in Xiangxi may be a kind of mysterious witchcraft, maybe it is a superstition to fool people, maybe it is just a trick to defraud people of money, maybe it is just a sensational rumor? During the Tomb-Sweeping Festival, a Taiwanese publication published a set of illustrations of corpse extermination in western Hunan. It's not true. Please judge for yourself. I've seen this on QQ, and so far they say it's not a corpse walking, but someone carrying it.
