It is said that the head catcher in the Liuzhou prefect is named Zhang Tianci, this person is jealous and hateful, not only strong in martial arts but also bold and careful to know the weight of the prefect, this day the prefect sent him to Qinghe County to investigate a **, the case investigation is very smooth, on the way back to Liuzhou because of the heart like an arrow, I can't wait to immediately rush back to bring the criminal to justice, so he will rush back day and night non-stop.
Although Liuzhou is not too far from Qinghe County, but a trip back and forth has to be more than 200 miles away, this night he passed through a deserted place, because of the hurry from noon to now not a drop of water, at this time he was tired and hungry, so he wanted to find a place to rest and eat something by the way, but now there is no store in front of the village, and there is no house within a radius of more than ten miles, he is so tired that he can't walk, so he simply finds a place to sit down and rest, he takes out the dry food he carries with him and eats it with water.
After a short while, the two dry baked cakes fell into his stomach, and after filling his stomach, he leaned on the tree and closed his eyes to rest, perhaps because he was really tired from the non-stop journey along the way, and he fell asleep unconsciously. I don't know how long I slept this night. Because Zhang Tianci's five senses are much more sensitive than ordinary people's martial arts all year round, just when he was sleeping Zhengxiang, he suddenly heard a rustling sound, he suddenly looked at the place where the sound came from, and was suddenly startled by the scene in front of him.
In the silvery moonlight, there was a tomb not far from him, and from the color of the soil, it was clear that this tomb should be a new one, and at this time there was a ghostly figure with his back to him, and he did not know what to say in front of the grave.
Seeing such a terrifying scene, Zhang Tianci not only didn't think about leaving quickly, but quietly hid behind the big tree and peeked, thinking about what the other party wanted to do. After a while, the ghost suddenly shouted at the grave, "Get up!"Then I heard a loud bang, and the tomb was split in two from the middle, and the coffin inside slowly rose, and then stood upright on the ground, and the lid of the coffin suddenly popped up, and the body of a young man slowly walked out of it, and the corpse walked towards the ghost little by little with stiff steps, and the night was foggy in the suburbs, especially in the moonlight.
Even people like Zhang Tianci, who had seen the wind and waves, were stunned by the scene in front of them, and the young corpse slowly came to the ghost with his head lowered, and suddenly stopped, and the ghost began to recite the incantation again. The next scene almost made Zhang Tianci scream, and as the spell sounded, the ** on the young corpse began to squirm non-stop, and then it began to slowly fall off like a snake molting, and a complete human skin fell to the ground in less than a cup of tea. The corpse, which was not completely red, returned to the grave.
The ghost picked up the human skin and did not know what to do, but he saw the human skin hanging in the air with bursts of scarlet light, and it kept shrinking, wriggling, and melting in the air, and in a short time it turned into a whip as red as blood, and the ghost took the whip and left happily.
Zhang Tianci tiptoed behind, wanting to see what he wanted to do, he followed behind for a while, and suddenly found that the ghost actually had a shadow in the moonlight, since there was a shadow, then he would definitely not be a ghost, after discovering this secret, Zhang Tianci felt more confident in his heart, and at the same time relieved, he was also very shocked, what kind of person actually had such magical powers, and that whip was too weird, what was the purpose of this person stealing corpses in the middle of the night to refine the whip, and he continued to follow the plan under curiosity**Unexpectedly.
After a while, the man came to a mass grave and stopped, turned around and looked around sneakily, Zhang Tianci quickly dodged and hid behind a big tree to observe secretly, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable nervousness in his heart, would this person have discovered himself, his hand involuntarily touched the handle of the knife on his waist, intending to do it at any time.
At this moment, by the moonlight, he found out that the person turned out to be a middle-aged Taoist priest with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, he looked around for a long time and did not find Zhang Tianci hiding in the dark, turned around and continued to move forward.
When I came to a grave, I began to chant incantations again, and the sound of incantations was particularly terrifying in this already gloomy and silent and somewhat terrible mass grave, which made people get goosebumps.
Zhang Tianci shuddered involuntarily, and after a while, the tomb opened, the coffin inside slowly rose, and stood gently on the ground, and the body of a middle-aged man walked out of it.
Fortunately, there was no this time, I saw him concoct the same method, and opened several graves one after another, and after a while, several corpses stood in front of him, those corpses had just died, they stood there motionless, if this scene was seen by the faint of heart, they would definitely be scared to death, fortunately, Zhang Tianci was born bold, but even if he was like this, he still broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
After doing everything, the Taoist priest recited the spell to restore the broken graves to their original state, and then took out the scarlet human skin whip and whipped it a few times in the sky, and took out a few yellow talismans from his arms, and pasted them on several corpses one by one, and after all the yellow talismans were pasted, he took the whip and beat the middle-aged male corpse before, and saw several corpses begin to walk forward. The movements were stiff and strange, and after every few steps, the Taoist priest would whip them again and drive them forward.
Zhang Tianci has been a head catcher for more than ten years, whether it is seen or heard, there are naturally more things than ordinary people, he once heard an old man talk about it, there is a mysterious profession in the market, that is, corpse chaser. For those who die in a foreign country for various reasons, their families will ask the corpse chaser to drive the corpse back to their hometown, and the fallen leaves will return to the roots.
But the method used by this Taoist priest is completely different from those who chase corpses, and it looks very evil, especially the scarlet human skin whip, which is as red as blood, and he knows that he is not a good person at a glance, Zhang Tianci followed all the way and secretly followed.
I don't know how long later, the sky was covered with a touch of fish belly white, the morning sun rose in the east, the Taoist priest drove the corpse to a roadside, only to see him flick the whip into the air, and saw the three corpses stop, the Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the ground and began to chant the incantation. But what happened next surprised even the well-informed Zhang Tianci.
Because it was so unbelievable, I saw the three corpses lying slowly on the ground, and in a short time they became three donkeys, and each of them was standing there alive. Zhang Tianci once suspected that he was dazzled, he rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked again, and found that he was indeed not mistaken, the three corpses were indeed gone, replaced by three live donkeys.
He stared at the scene in front of him in a daze, and couldn't believe his eyes, after all, this kind of fantasy had only been heard from the mouth of the storyteller, and he continued to follow.
About another hour passed, and the sky was already bright at this moment, Zhang Tianci was afraid that he would alarm the Taoist priest, so he didn't dare to approach, so he could only follow from a distance.
After another half an hour or so, the Taoist priest drove three donkeys to a market, the market was very lively, the Taoist priest just walked into the market, and several vendors surrounded him by hula, depending on the situation, it should be an old customer, and those few people rushed to negotiate with the Taoist priest.
At this moment, the Taoist priest smiled.
Seeing that the transaction was about to be completed, Zhang Tianci was very anxious, to know that the three donkeys were not ordinary livestock, but three corpses, if they were killed and eaten meat, it would be chilling just to think about it, just when the transaction was completed immediately, and he was ready to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand, he couldn't wait any longer, and suddenly rushed out and shouted at everyone: "Don't be fooled, this person is a ** at all, it is not a donkey at all, but a dead man's corpse." Then he recounted what had happened.
But after listening to Zhang Tianci's narration, the crowd of onlookers actually laughed and leaned back, everyone thought he was a madman, and what he said was naturally crazy, in fact, it was no wonder, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, others would have told him, he wouldn't believe that the person must be crazy.
The first reaction of the traders was that Zhang Tianci was here to rob the business, and looked at him disdainfully, and no one paid attention to it anymore, and the Taoist priest was a little flustered at first, but quickly returned to normal, and also looked at him defiantly and continued to bargain with those people.
Zhang Tianci was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly took out the head-catching waist card that could prove his identity, and everyone was stunned in place after seeing it, and the originally noisy bazaar instantly became silent, and several vendors before looked at each other. Look at the Taoist priest again, his face changed instantly after seeing the waist card, and he was about to run away when he raised his legs, but fortunately, Zhang Tianci reacted quickly enough to stop him, and the Taoist priest resisted desperately, but Zhang Tianci was so good at kung fu that he could let him run away easily, and the Taoist priest was ** in just a few rounds.
Zhang Tianci picked it up, drove the donkey to the local county office, and told the story after seeing the county order.
After hearing this, the county magistrate was furious, slammed the shocked wood on the desk, and shouted angrily at the Taoist priest: "The matter has not been recruited from the truth until now. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest behaved very calmly, and said slowly in the face of the county order's questioning: "The adult must be the master for the small people, I was wronged, the little people don't know where to offend this official, he has no evidence to wronged the villain, and I hope that the adults will learn from it." The Taoist priest not only refused to confess, but instead beat him up and said that Zhang Tianci was framing himself by pretending to be a public servant.
Although this matter sounded a little unbelievable, he knew that Zhang Tianci would definitely not lie, but they had no choice in the face of the clever Taoist priest, after all, there was indeed no evidence to prove what the Taoist priest did, and those things were all Zhang Tianci's words. At this moment, the master on the side whispered to the county order: "My lord, a friend of mine is also a Taoist priest, and he has quite a means, why don't you invite him to come over and try it." ”
After getting the permission of the county order, the master personally ran to invite his friends, and when the Taoist priest in the hall saw the visitor, he was suddenly like a frosty eggplant paralyzed to the ground.
The person who came was an old Taoist priest with a fairy wind and bones, and when the old Taoist priest saw the person in front of the hall, he looked at him sharply and scolded angrily: "Criminal!."You actually did such a hurtful thing for money, aren't you afraid of retribution?"Coincidentally, the Taoist priest is actually the apprentice of the old Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest knelt on the ground and didn't come out, allowing him to be reprimanded.
The old Taoist priest turned his head to look at the three donkeys and sighed, and then asked people to find a basin of black dog blood, and he had a word. directly poured a basin of black dog blood on the donkey's body, and the donkey, which was still alive just now, suddenly fell to the ground and did not move.
The old Taoist priest had them carried to a room, and then all the windows were covered so that no sunlight could enter. He went in to do it, and about a stick of incense came out of the house, when the old Taoist priest came out of the house.
Everyone went in, frightened and retreated, there were still donkeys in the house, only to see three naked corpses on the ground of the house, and the previous Taoist priest knelt in front of the old Taoist priest and begged bitterly, begging the old Taoist priest to go around him once.
The old Taoist priest didn't say much, and asked him to lead everyone to the mass grave and re-bury the body under his guidance.
In order to punish the Taoist priest for his crimes, the old Taoist priest abolished all his skills, and turned it into a dog, so that he could stay by Zhang Tianci's side to atone for the crimes he committed, and when the sins were redeemed one day, he could recover**, after saying everything, the old Taoist priest turned around and left, and Zhang Tianci took a dog to embark on the return journey again.
As for whether the Taoist priest finally changed back to **, no one knows, but people know that Zhang Tianci later solved many big cases with the help of this dog. It is also since this incident that Zhang Tianci has never eaten a bite of donkey meat, and whenever people ask the reason, he laughs and does not talk about it.
