The corpse driver is a legendary magic that can drive a corpse to walk. It is a kind of magic of Miao nationality and a part of Chu witch culture. There are black witchcraft and white witchcraft, and corpse driving belongs to white witchcraft. The time to move the corpse can be day or night, just to avoid scaring passers-by, so the corpse is mostly moved at night, which also casts a mysterious veil over the corpse. The corpse-drivers are two witches in cassock. No matter how many bodies are opened by two people (master and apprentice). Teacher and pupil don't play lanterns, but shake a soul clock in their hands and knock gongs as they walk to keep Nightcrawler away. Dog owners locked them up. When there are multiple bodies, connect them with straw ropes, one every six or seven feet. When walking at night, the bodies were wearing tall felt hats and some yellow papers with symbols on their foreheads. There is a "dead body inn" on the road. This mysterious "dead inn" only lives in dead bodies and corpse drivers, which ordinary people can't live in. Its gate is open all year round. Because behind the two door panels, it is where the body stops. The corpse driver rushed to the "corpse shop" before dawn and quietly left at night. The body leans neatly against the wall behind the door panel. When it is difficult to walk on rainy days, I will stop in the store for a few days and nights. Driving a corpse is to follow a series of dead bodies behind the mage, cross the provinces and return to their hometown. In the dark and windy countryside, this strange scene is even more chilling. In order to avoid shocking the world as much as possible, the mage knocked the gong to clear the way. When residents along the road heard these exciting gongs, they immediately closed the door to escape.

In fact, the scope of the "corpse removal" activity is very small, only in the mountainous areas of western Hunan, and there is no such KB corpse transport activity in other parts of the country. Xiangxi refers to the western part of Hunan Province, mainly in the Yuanjiang River Basin. It is said that corpse drivers are most popular in Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu. The Yuanjiang River Valley in western Hunan is mostly mountainous with rugged roads, which brings great inconvenience to pedestrians. It's even more troublesome if you want to carry the coffin back to your hometown. Many people who work and earn a living here will entrust their relatives and friends to transport their bodies back to their hometown for burial before they die, so as not to be buried in this desolate Shan Ye. In order to avoid bumping on the rough road between Shan Ye and the coffin, a unique method of transporting the corpse came into being.

As for the method of driving the corpse, it is said that in the mountainous area of western Hunan, a foreigner died there, and relatives and friends hired a mage to drive the corpse home. When the mage came to the morgue, he first looked at the date of birth and taboos of the deceased to see if there was a punch. Then he read a spell next to the body and muttered a spell for a while. Suddenly, he stabbed his peach wooden sword at the board where the body was parked. If the peach wooden sword is coming in, it means that the body is willing to accept it. Under the guidance of the mage's orders, the mage is willing to accept the contract to drive the corpse. But if the peach wooden sword can't be inserted repeatedly or suddenly breaks, the mage will immediately turn around and leave, because it means that the body refuses to listen to his orders, and things are likely to change on the way, so even if the price is higher, the mage will not promise to drive the body away.

After the mage takes over the business, he will not leave immediately, but will stay for a few days until there are four or five bodies, and then leave together. Some people even pick up bodies on the road. It is strange that the body will not rot no matter what the weather is after the mage practices. At the time of departure, the mage gathered the bodies together and carried them away. After the altar rose, he put a symbol written in yellow paper on the forehead of each corpse. After mumbling a spell, every dead body stood up and jumped up with the mage's back. Because the joints of the dead body are stiff, the knees can't bend, so they can only jump forward. The average trip is a day trip and a night stay, but the corpse is just the opposite. Because corpse removal needs to be carried out at night, the sun should not shine on the corpse. Therefore, as long as the crow crows, before dawn, the mage will lead the dead body until the evening. Before leaving, the mage will check the symbols on the forehead of the corpse one by one. If there is no problem, the body will continue to drive. However, driving the corpse is not to drive the corpse all the way back to the hometown, but to lead the corpse through the desolate and rugged mountainous area and return it to the plain, and give it to the relatives in the countryside who came to pick it up, so that they can put the body in a coffin and transport the coffin back to the countryside for burial by other means of transportation.

For many people, the above method of "driving away dead bodies" is dubious, because dead bodies should jump, which is incredible and incredible. However, from the standpoint of the number of techniques, it is not impossible to "drive a corpse" because it belongs to the "mountain technique" among the "five techniques" (mountain, medicine, divination, life and face), and the "mountain technique" pays attention to painting symbols and chanting spells, and studies divine power. However, regardless of magic, it is really possible from the perspective of whether a dead body can talk. In the historical materials of our country, there are often records of corpse deterioration. The so-called corpse change refers to the sudden resurrection of a dead body due to some external factors, but the resurrected dead body has lost its humanity and is just an unconscious walker. Corpse usually occurs when there is lightning. It may be that lightning stimulates the static electricity in the dead body that has not been completely dispersed, so the dead body moves unconsciously like electricity.

And do wizards have mastered this mystery, so they know how to control this short resurrection? With the end of the industry of "corpse removal", it will be a mystery that can never be solved.

Before the Qing Dynasty, after the autumnal equinox every year, all state and county government offices would execute prisoners on death row with the approval of the Ministry of Punishment. After the execution, local death row inmates have their own families to collect and bury their bodies. However, if they want to carry the executed prisoner back to their hometown, they usually need four people to carry a corpse, which is very expensive. It is relatively cheap to ask the old company to drive the corpse home, and it can guarantee that it will not rot or stink in the middle. The carried corpse may rot in a day.

Generally, the day before the execution, the relatives and fellow villagers of the guests on death row, even good people who are good at doing good deeds, will gather some money for the old companies they invited (traditionally two in Tsing Yi and two in red) and buy all the goods. On the day of execution, two senior officials, their assistants and assistants must wait outside the court. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the knife and axe fell and the death row head fell to the ground.

As soon as the beheading officer left the charity ceremony, the red veteran immediately recited the mantra, and the assistant helped sew up the beheaded dead guest's head. Now Tsing Yi veteran cinnabar (the best cinnabar) is placed on the forehead, chest, left and right palms, and foot of the deceased, and each place is held down by spells, and then tied tightly with five-color cloth strips. According to legend, these seven places are places where the seven orifices enter and exit, and they are sealed with cinnabar spells to keep the seven souls of the dead.

After that, some cinnabar will be stuffed into the victim's ears, nose and mouth, and then blocked with magic symbols. According to legend, the ear, nose and mouth are the places where three souls go in and out, so as to stay in the body of the dead.

Finally, cover the neck of the deceased with cinnabar, stick spells on it and tie it tightly with five-color cloth strips; Then put a bamboo hat on the deceased (as a cover). When everything was finished, the old man in red read a spell and shouted "get up!" " Dead guests will stand up. ...

It is also said that since the Miao people moved from the Great Lakes of the Yangtze River to the mountains of Dipu, they lost the spell of "Wuliwu" but created the technology of alchemy. Generally speaking, in addition to the ancestral "curse", the old company must also use cinnabar. This kind of cinnabar is the best produced in Chenzhou, so it is also called cinnabar. Moreover, the corpse-driving technique was originally called "the charm of Chenzhou cinnabar". Because the name is too long to read, it is simply called "the charm of Chenzhou".

This strange industry can only work in the western part of southern Hunan. Because, first, only Xiangxi has a "dead body inn". Second, only Xiangxi people smell the little yin gong of the corpse driver and know to avoid it. Third, there are highways outside Xiangxi village, and other provincial roads generally pass through the village. Of course, they won't allow the bodies to enter the village. 4. Xiangxi people will take the initiative to lock their dogs at home when they smell the sound of Yin Gong. Otherwise, when dogs come out, they will bite the body. Therefore, this strange corpse-driving industry is only available in Xiangxi.
