Chapter 49: The Road to Driving Corpses

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed. During these two days, Li Moyue helped the little zombie build a toy house, while watching his master teach Qiu Sheng.

Qiu Sheng has been living in dire straits these past two days. In the past, even if he made a mistake, his master would not be willing to hit him hard.

And now the master is afraid that he won’t hit hard enough to kill himself.

Qiu Sheng was so miserable because a Taoist priest named Shi heard from somewhere that Qiu Sheng had had an affair with a female ghost. He didn't even bother to take care of his grandson and went straight to the charity cemetery to laugh at Uncle Jiu.

(Li Moxie: I didn’t tell anyone about this. I was just secretly discussing with my fellow apprentice Shi Shaojian whether humans and ghosts could get together, and whether female ghosts could get pregnant.)

Uncle Jiu's face turned red due to the ridicule, and a Taoist priest named Shi said he felt better, then he flicked his sleeves and left.

When Qiu Sheng arrived at the charity cemetery, he was beaten by Uncle Jiu because he stepped through the gate with his left foot first.

Seeing Qiu Sheng so miserable, Li Moye said it was none of his business and he couldn't have any bad intentions in discussing Taoism.

However, every time he saw Qiu Sheng being beaten too badly, this kind-hearted senior brother would always appear in time, comfort his junior brother, and feed him a healing pill.

(Healing Pill: Okay, okay! So my role is to make you feel good when you beat people, right?)

This interesting day lasted until Simu arrived, and Li Moxie knew that his vacation was over.

Simu only stayed at the charity cemetery for one morning, and then set off with Li Moye in the evening.

As soon as they left, Uncle Jiu followed them out. After instructing Wencai and Qiu Sheng to look after the charity cemetery, he left as well.

Qiu Sheng: I'm finally saved! I love you, Uncle Simu!

Li Moye and Simu took advantage of the good moonlight to leave Renjia Town and avoid running into strangers.

In fact, corpse driving does not have to be done at night. If passing through towns or villages, corpse drivers will generally choose to rest at night when there are fewer people, and will usually wait until the next night before leaving.

If it is during the day in the wilderness, the corpse driver will also choose to drive the corpse during the day. However, when walking on the small road, the corpse driver must shout:

Yin people go on the road, Yang people avoid it

To remind strangers passing by to avoid it in advance, otherwise they will collide with each other, which will not only be harmful to strangers, but also to the corpses.

Corpse driving is the process of using Maoshan magic to possess the soul of the deceased in the corpse and then send it back home. Only after the soul returns to its hometown can the deceased rest in peace.

However, since the person died not long ago, the soul is still in chaos, so too much human presence would disturb the soul in the corpse.

Then the soul will leave the body and wander aimlessly. If you are lucky, you can bring it back through necromancy. If you are unlucky, the disturbed soul may flee everywhere and then disappear directly if something unexpected happens.

This is why corpse drivers need to shout "Yin people go on the road, Yang people stay away" when they are likely to encounter crowds of people. This is to protect both the living and the soul in the corpse.

Li Moyue and Simu didn't need to go through so much trouble to drive the corpses, and they didn't need to shout all the way.

The reason is that Li Moyue's perception is very strong now. He can directly sense the breath of living people thousands of meters away. When passing by residential areas, he can usually hear the sound of corpse drivers ringing bells, and others dare not come out to watch the fun.

This was also the easiest corpse-hunting experience Simu had ever had. He only needed to lead the team in the front without shouting all the way.

So they walked much faster and soon left Renjia Town and arrived at a deserted suburb with few people.

"Mo Xie, you have helped me explore this journey and it has been a lot easier. I used to shout all the way to a place with few people and my voice became hoarse."

Hearing Simu say this, Li Moye also said with some emotion:

"Uncle Master, although the money earned from corpse-carrying is relatively high, it is indeed not easy to make. It took us at least two hours to walk from the charity cemetery to here. If we follow your original rules and shout all the way, can your voice bear it?"

Hearing Li Moye say this, Simu also smiled and said:

"I can tell from what I heard that you, my nephew, don't know much about corpse-driving. In our Maoshan corpse-driving technique, there is a method that specifically protects the throat. With this method, you can use magic power to protect the throat, and there is also a specially prepared potion that can moisten the throat."

"Otherwise, my voice would have been ruined from shouting all the way like this."

“Oh~ I see!”

Li Moyue suddenly realized that among all the skills he had learned, he had only learned the general idea of ​​corpse-driving. Especially after seeing some precautions when driving corpses, he lost interest in the rest of the content.

Therefore, his corpse-driving skills have always been at the entry-level stage.

However, he was not very interested in the art of corpse-driving, so he had little interest in the corpse-driving and corpse-refining school. After learning some introductory knowledge, he no longer paid attention to it.

Anyway, he had no intention of creating any zombies, so it would be better to use that energy to improve other skills.

Moreover, refining corpses is not just about finding a place with heavy yin energy and feeding the zombies some blood to make them advance. It also requires the assistance of many medicinal herbs and spiritual objects.

Nowadays, it is difficult to find natural treasures in this world, and ordinary medicinal materials require a lot of money to buy. The only three highest-level zombies left in Maoshan are only at the flying zombie level.

But they are usually sealed in Maoshan, and only taken out to fight against enemies they cannot defeat.

The flying zombies possess the strength of a peak Heavenly Master. Three of them can compete with cultivators at the Yuanshen realm, so they are usually sealed up. Firstly, they are used as a trump card, and secondly, to reduce consumption. In today's world, Maoshan really can't afford to support three flying zombies that are always active.

So considering various problems, Li Moyue gave up learning the craft of corpse refining.

When it was almost dawn, Li Moye and Simu finally arrived at an abandoned charity cemetery. These abandoned charity cemeteries were built by nearby villages for the purpose of providing a resting place for these corpse drivers.

As for why the charity cemetery was abandoned, it was because there was no one to take care of it. Nowadays, not everyone can be a keeper in a charity cemetery. If you don't have some skills, you may die without knowing how you died.

Simu walked up to the charity cemetery and pushed open the door as if he had returned home.

As soon as Li Moye entered the charity cemetery, he smelled a strong stench of decay. This was because those who died in a foreign land would still be placed in the charity cemetery by the villagers, and these corpses would definitely rot and stink if no one took care of them.

Fortunately, these corpses are stored in coffins, so even if there is a smell, it does not seem too disgusting.

After Simu settled his clients and burned incense, he took out some food from his space ring and wanted to eat something to fill his stomach with Li Moyue.

Before this, Li Moye took out two 2-cubic-meter rings and gave one to Uncle Jiu and one to Simu.

Of course, he also gave Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai a 50-cubic-meter ring each. However, Uncle Jiu asked them not to show their space rings in front of outsiders, otherwise they were afraid that other cultivators would kill people to take the treasure after seeing it.

Li Moxie saw Simu sitting down so carelessly, with a stinking coffin next to him. He just took out food and invited him to eat together. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said:

"Uncle Master, you can still eat in this environment. Aren't you afraid that the food will become smelly?"

When Simu heard this, he said with some perseverance:

“You have never suffered hardship, kid. Your uncle and I have encountered all kinds of situations when we were driving corpses. At least there is a coffin to store these things now. I have encountered a situation before where there was no coffin, so we just took a straw mat and put it on the ground.

"There are maggots and rats everywhere, but I still eat and sleep in there. Although we earn a lot in our job of driving corpses, we also suffer a lot. If you don't have a strong psychological endurance, you can't do it."

Li Moye felt a little churning in his stomach after hearing this, the image was too vivid. He expressed his admiration for Simu's courage and said he couldn't do it himself.

Fortunately, he had expected that this four-eye was not very reliable, so he went outside and planned to set up a tent.

He bought the tent from the caravans, but it cost him a lot of money.

He took out four wooden stakes and inserted them around the room, then took out a huge tent from his personal space. The tent was made of wood and iron sheets.

It can be folded and stored when not in use. When in use, just fix two of the legs and pull them back to prop up the tent.

(It refers to the tent that Wu Shilang and his friends set up to avoid the rain in Uncle Zombie)

After Li Moyue fixed the ropes around the tent, he walked into the tent and took out the chairs and beds.

After finishing everything, he returned to the charity cemetery and planned to ask Simu to go to the tent to rest together.

As a result, he didn't expect that Simu could actually look at those coffins and eat chicken legs with relish.

Li Moxie smelled the rotten smell in the air, and then looked at Simu who was chewing the chicken leg so happily. He wondered if his uncle's taste was a little too strong.

He stepped forward and said:

"Uncle Master, I have set up a tent outside. Let's go eat outside. Your taste... is a bit strong."

"Tsk! You are just used to a life of luxury and have never experienced the hardships of life."

"Let's go! Uncle Master will accommodate you and let's go out to eat!"

Si Mu looked at Li Moye with an expression that said, "You are so young, but you can't even endure any hardship." This made Li Moye want to beat him up.

Is this a question of whether you can endure bitterness or not? As a modern person, who can tolerate these tastes?

However, when Simu walked outside and saw the huge tent, he exclaimed:

"Oh my god! Junior Brother! You should have told me earlier that you had this tent! I wouldn't have to hold my breath and eat chicken legs to show off in front of you, making the roast chicken in my hand stink."

Li Moye:........

Forget it! I'll just bear with it. It'll be hard to explain to my master if I kill him.

Li Moxie didn't want to pay attention to the noisy group, so he walked closer to the tent, took another table and leaned it against the tent cloth, then took out some of the food he had prepared earlier from his personal space.

His portable space has the effect of standing still for time, so the food he takes out is always hot.

Li Moxie hid in the corner, obviously not wanting to dine with Simu.

If it were someone else, they might not go over and cause trouble, but Simu was a person who always held the attitude that "I am not embarrassed, but others are embarrassed", so he directly moved a chair and sat next to Li Moye and said with a smile:

"Nephew, you really know how to enjoy yourself. Bring your uncle a bowl. My roast chicken is stinking. Have some rice to change the taste."

Li Moyue looked at this uncle Simu speechlessly, but he still took out a bowl from his personal space and filled it with rice.

Then he just started eating, ignoring Simu who was chattering away.

After finishing his meal, Li Moyue casually put the table, chairs, bowls and chopsticks directly into his personal space.

He suddenly remembered that he had seen a novel before where the protagonist had people cook for each table, and then he had hundreds of tables of food stored in his personal space.

Every time I eat, the table and the dishes are set out together. I think I can also refer to the approach of that senior.

However, my personal space seems a bit small. I still need to earn some merit points and then upgrade it.

After packing up, Li Moxie lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep. He was a little tired after traveling all night.

Simu also went straight into sleep mode after finishing his meal.

The two of them slept until around five in the afternoon, then got up, washed, ate, and continued on their journey.

The journey was not boring at all. Simu kept telling Li Moxie about his own interesting experiences in corpse-carrying in the past, as well as some key points of knowledge about corpse-carrying.

However, as Li Moxie listened along the way, he felt something was not right, because his corpse-driving skill inexplicably went from [entry level] to [proficient]. All of a sudden, a large amount of knowledge points flooded into his mind, and he even learned a lot of skills by analogy. Then, he inexplicably went from [proficient] to [master].

Good man! The knowledge got into his brain in an inexplicable way.

Li Moye glanced at his uncle-master in front of him. He almost suspected that this guy had started to promote his experience and skills in corpse-carrying after hearing that he was not very interested in it.

Moreover, he found that this uncle-master had great eloquence. He was chatting with him in the form of storytelling the whole time, and then he mixed a lot of personal opinions into the stories to explain them to him. The key point was that he understood them.

But he was too lazy to point it out to him. He didn't lose anything anyway. He just upgraded a skill to master level for no reason.

We stopped and walked along the way, sent some customers home, and then picked up some new customers.

Li Moyue has completely understood the tricks of the corpse-driving business, so there is no problem at all for him to do the job now.

In fact, in the end, it was Li Moye who led the team to drive the corpses in the front. After all, he was also a junior, and he was not the kind of person who could watch his elders busy all the time.

So in fact, Li Moxie walked most of the way thereafter, but he didn't mind it and just regarded it as exercise.

What surprised Li Moye was that Simu had found a bamboo chair from somewhere. Every time he arrived at Huangjiao, he would tie the chair to the zombies and sit on it to brag and chat.

Many times, Li Moye wanted to sew his mouth shut, because this bastard seemed to have turned on some switch and always liked to explain to him along the way what kind of harsh environment he slept in, what villages he passed by, and how disgusting the corpses in the charity cemeteries were.

Because his descriptions were so good, Li Moxie couldn't eat every time he listened to them, but he ate well and slept well.

Li Moye was also annoyed. He was bragging, right? He was disgusting, right? Then let's hurt each other.

Anyway, I told them that I had studied abroad, and I told them about Hannibal's organ feast and some cannibalism movies I had seen before, and I explained them to them as real cases.

At first Simu didn't take it seriously, but Li Moye's explanation was too vivid, and Simu's face turned pale.
