together they didn't cost over a thousand yuan.If the goods don't sell, there's no money. But the money he borrowed has to be repaid, with interest. In less than half a year, the principal plus inter...The security researcher pondered for a moment, she fearfully shook her head, "I couldn't tell male or female, I only glanced at it once and didn't dare look again. All I remember is that the corpse had long hair, was short in stature, and was all swollen with water.

"

At this time, Yao Yumeng sighed and took a deep breath, saying: "That is the youngest daughter of Marquis Jie, her golden coffin and silver casket were opened by those people. The Changchun Society found experts to suppress it, I knew something would happen sooner or later, you should also know, this thing, in fact, is the most terrifying."

">

"Jade sister, you mean faking your death"

"No, it's not a corpse playing dead. According to Feng Shui, this is an Yin Zhi corpse that hasn't been seen in a millennium. His young daughter can turn into this, I dare not think about what the Marquis has become now. The things we prepared might not be effective at all."

">

As I recall that dream from the other day, the figure on the four-dragon bronze bed kept appearing in my mind. Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

I asked her if she was preparing black donkey hooves, because I had often heard from others that you had to use black donkey hooves to deal with these things.

Yao Yumen sneered: "Black donkey hooves Think about it, in all the major museums, are there any black donkey hooves among the ancient feng shui and protective amulets"

">

"How is it going No way, black donkey hooves weren't mass-produced until after the Republic of China. As for why they're associated with tomb robbing, that's beyond me.

"

"Yin-zi-shi is a concept from ancient feng shui geomancy, and using such things is obviously not appropriate.

"

None of us have ever truly seen this thing, but I heard my uncle say that once you encounter it, an old corpse-binding rope and a mouth-watering coin passed down from the Xiangxi region might be helpful.

This matter involves the art of warding off evil spirits.

The old ropes used to bind corpses in the Xiangxi region are naturally related to the practice of corpse chasing in Xiangxi.

This is a regional folk legend, and it is called one of the four major folk techniques along with Northeast China's shamanism, Miaojiang's Gu raising technique, and Southernmost China's sorcery.

Tracing it back to its origins, all of these are actually related to the art of suppressing nightmares.

The term "zhen yan shu" first appeared in the upper volume of the Luban Book, while it is said that the lower volume of the Luban Book records "yansheng shu," which refers to techniques for warding off evil spirits.

Now, when it comes to the practice of zhèn yàn shù (town tormenting), ordinary people likely wouldn't encounter it. However, yàn shèng shù (disgust magic) is something they might come across more often.

For example, amulets like the "yan-sheng" (warding off evil) flower money and mountain ghost flower money, commonly seen in antique markets, or the practice of sticking door gods during Chinese New Year and jumping over a fire pit during weddings, are all examples of traditional folk practices for warding off evil.

Whether the authenticity of Xiangxi Corpse Gathering is true or not, let's not discuss it for now because cremation is prevalent nowadays and there's no need for it. However, in ancient times, "body and skin are received from parents." After death, people believed in returning to their roots.

The earliest corpses carried in Xiangxi were those of soldiers who died in battle.

A shroud covers the noodles, living people avoid it. Paper money paves the way, bells open mountains.

Sān gē (Third Brother) told me before, he said that in the Yīn Qī Mén (Yin Seven Gates), there's a profession called corpse runner.

Ropes for binding the body and mouthfuls of copper coins, these are what Xiangxi corpse removers use to deal with corpses. Yao Yumen said that they are used to deal with Yinzi corpses, which makes sense.

The researcher is now scared out of his wits, and my heart is racing too.

I silently prayed that these things would be useful. If they weren't, the consequences were unimaginable.

Now we not only have to fight the Changchun Hui, but we may also have to face the legendary Yinzi corpse.

It seems that being cautious is the right approach.ting), ordinary people likely wouldn't encounter it. However, yàn shèng shù (disgust magic) is something they might come across more often.For example, amulets like the "yan-sheng" (warding off evil)...
