Let Me Draw a Card In the Infinite World - Chapter 106
Heipao Ren No. 2 didn’t say much, looked at her twice and disappeared in place.
The system’s task reminds that this is officially online.
[Player Fu Xiangxiang, welcome to the SS-level mission [Zombie Inn], and you can pass the level after three days in the mission. The person you are in the task is set as “the corpse chaser”, please pay attention to keep the person setting. I wish you a happy task]
Fu Xiangxiang was full of black lines, and immediately felt the malice of this unlucky task from the name and personality of the task.
The zombie inn is scary at first sight!
At this time, a dull voice sounded behind him: “Xiangxiang, what are you doing there? I can’t help!”
Fu Xiangxiang turned around and found that two people behind him, one old and one young, were looking at him suspiciously.
I was talking about a man dressed as a Taoist priest. He was in his fifties. He wore an old indigo robe with a dirty mahogany sword on his back. His long yellow hair was in a small bun behind his head and a goatee on his chin. It’s as yellow as the hair, and not very energetic.
Standing next to him was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a beautiful appearance and short shaved hair. His cotton robe looked similar to Fu Xiangxiang’s body, all wrinkled in the old look.
The boy was holding a donkey in each hand. The two donkeys looked like they had gone through a long journey. They were dirty and thin, and their hair was trembled. They carried several large cages on their backs. They looked like they were dying. It was pitiful.
The three of them and the two donkeys were standing in the wasteland on the side of the road outside the city gate. The small city also looked very dilapidated, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.
Fu Xiangxiang looked up to the sky and sighed: The set of people this time also looks very poor.
Seeing her turning around and looking over, the old Taoist pointed at the cage on the back of the donkey on the side and pointed: “Take the things off and let these two beasts rest.”
The boy should say: “Yes, Master!”
Fu Xiangxiang saw that his dress was similar to that of a teenager, and he estimated that he was also the little apprentice of this Taoist priest, so he responded in a learned manner: “Yes, Master.”
The master was somewhat satisfied with their attitudes, stroked his goatee, and walked towards the gate not far away: “You two are optimistic about things. Find a place to stay for the teacher first.”
Fu Xiangxiang looked at the skinny figure of the old Taoist priest leaving, and wondered: “He is going to find a place to live?”
The boy glanced at her: “Yes, otherwise, where do we live tonight?”
Fu Xiangxiang looked at the sky. As before, the time in the mission is no more than one noon. Even if they want to find a place to live in the city, wouldn’t it be more convenient for the three of them to pull the donkey in together? They can rest earlier.
But looking at the appearance of the boy’s take for granted, Fu Xiangxiang didn’t ask directly. He just acted as if nothing had happened and started unloading things from the donkey.
After finishing the cage, the young man touched some dry food to feed the donkey, and skillfully found a piece of felt cloth from the box to put a small pergola above his head, and Fu Xiangxiang leaned over to sit with the young man to rest.
Fu Xiangxiang chatted with the boy one after another, and asked about the background of the mission.
The young man’s name was Mo Yu, Fu Xiangxiang’s junior. Both of them were vagrants who were living outside, and they were picked up by the old Taoist priest just now and adopted, and by the way they became his little apprentices.
The old Taoist didn’t know what his real name was, anyway, he gave himself a somewhat bluffing name called Taoist Kong She.
Fu Xiangxiang twitched his lips: Taoist empty house? Why is it such a name? It sounds like the empty nest old man.
Anyway, this Taoist Kongshe claims to the outside world that he is good at driving ghosts and souls, divination and alchemy. However, the world is difficult these years, survival is not easy, and people can’t live anymore. Where can anyone find him to exorcise ghosts?
So now the main business of Taoist Kongshe is to help people drive away corpses.
The business they are currently taking is commissioned by a certain village in the southwest. In that village, more than a dozen villagers went to work in a certain city in the north, but unfortunately they died in a foreign land. Falling leaves return to the roots is a tradition, so their family entrusted the Taoist Kongshe to transport their bodies back to the village. This is to drive the corpse.
Speaking of cadavers, Fu Xiangxiang couldn’t help getting hairy in her heart, but she looked around, except for the cage on the donkey, but she didn’t see any corpses around.
Fu Xiangxiang tentatively came up with a sentence: “Our master’s corpse removal business is all right!”
You can drive without a corpse, not what a cow X is!
Mo Yu chuckles and laughs: “Sister, don’t tease me anymore, this tricky business is not difficult to learn!”
Fu Xiangxiang agreed and laughed with him, only then did he understand the inside story of the corpse chasing business.
In this era, there is no convenient means of transportation, and coupled with limited corpse embalming technology, how can you really rush thousands of miles to transport the corpse back? It’s just a doorway to bluff people.
Taoist Kongshe’s method of evacuating the corpses is also very simple. He separated the heads of the corpses, leaving only the heads of the corpses for embalming treatment. He had cremated all the body before he set off, and only the head and ashes of the body were boxed away. This way of travel was much more convenient, and two donkeys were enough.
When they return to the southwest, the Taoist Kongshe will prepare the coffin before returning to the village, put the head of the corpse with a straw-filled dummy, and put it in the coffin with the ashes, and then sprinkle some animal carrion on the dummy. Give it to the villagers.
People always have a natural reverence for the remains of the deceased. In addition, even if the coffin is disrespectful to the deceased, most people will only glance at the head to confirm the identity of the deceased, and will not open the clothes and study it carefully.
What’s more, when the coffin was opened, the stench of the carrion inside was so unpleasant that the family members of the deceased would not take a closer look. At most, they would bury the deceased as soon as they confirmed the identity of the deceased. People have found out.
After hearing this, Fu Xiangxiang was secretly speechless. It turned out that his identity as a “dead chaser” was just a cover.
She looked at the cage next to her, and subconsciously sat a little further away. It turned out that there were more than a dozen people’s heads and ashes in it.
Fu Xiangxiang raised his hand and stretched out a big lazy waist, and asked casually, “Hey, Xiaoyu, why do you think Master hasn’t come back yet? It’s just a place to live, why does it take so long?”
Mo Yu picked up the sheepskin water bag and drank, and said casually: “Sister, you don’t know, our business is taboo by many people, and the general inn stores are not willing to let us in.”
Fu Xiang Xiangqi: “Human heads and ashes are all packed in cages. We just stay in the store normally. Who knows what’s inside.”
Mo Yu twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly: “Sister, you forgot again, this place is already close to the southwest, we are about to start acting!”
“Oh!” Fu Xiangxiang laughed dryly: “Ahem, yes, I was confused hahaha.”
Judging from Mo Yu’s breath, they were already close to their destination at the moment, and Taoist Kongshe was about to pretend to force Dafa.
After all, there are still many people in this era who think that it is a very tragic thing to have a dead body after death.
If the employers knew that the Taoist Kongshe had not transported the complete body back, then it must have been a taboo. Besides, that girl had chopped off the body’s head without permission. If this was discovered, he would not be beaten to death by the employers. .
As a result, as soon as he entered the southwestern territory, the Kongshe Taoist no longer hurried along the way as before, but wanted to create an illusion of “deading the corpse” to deceive employers, and also advertised himself by the way to let passers-by know. He is good at chasing corpses.
The two were chatting, and Taoist Kongshe hurried back.
“Master!” Fu Xiangxiang and Mo Yu hurriedly stood up to say hello when they saw him coming back.
Mo Yu was very insightful and handed the water bag over. Taoist Kong She took the water bag and poured it several times before his face stretched a bit.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: “Unlucky, the inn in this broken city is actually full. It was hard to find a house willing to let us live in, but I can only live in a wood house.”
“Huh?” Mo Yu let out a cry, “Chaifang? Isn’t there even a side room this time?”
Taoist Kong She gave him a white look: “Hey, it’s a step too late.”
Fu Xiangxiang: “How to say?”
Taoist Kong She was also very helpless: “Unfortunately, when I went, the last side room had just been ordered away, and we only had the wood room to live in.”
“Oh!” Mo Yu was very disappointed.
Taoist Kong She flicked on his forehead: “Don’t howl, it would be nice to have a place to live. The rest of the inns are not willing to let us in, because we are unlucky. We are at a loss for the inn. They are all colleagues, and the boss probably broke the jar too.”
Fu Xiangxiang was very surprised: “Along with you?”
“Yes.” Speaking of this, Taoist Kongshe himself was amused: “A small hotel in a small broken city, you are going to live in the third team of corpse chasers tonight, you said it was a coincidence.”
“Ah this…” Fu Xiangxiang’s forehead blue veins jumped straight: “What a coincidence…”
In fact, she really wanted to say that such a deceptive setting is very bad when it comes to it, or the three of us should make do with it in the wasteland outside the city tonight.
But after all, her persona is a “corpse chaser”, so you don’t even have to think about it, and you can’t say it.
What’s more—Fu Xiangxiang glanced at the big fluorescent vortex hole on the side of the city gate—he had to go to the city to find a transmission array.
Taoist Kong She took out two buns from his arms and threw them to the apprentices: “You two are optimistic about your luggage. Lead the donkey in for the teacher.”
Speaking and led two donkeys into the city.
Fu Xiangxiang and Mo Yu glanced at each other, and sat down honestly under the small pergola to eat buns.
