The roe deer is in front and the Taoist priest is behind.

Mo Chuan didn't answer any questions. He hung on the roe deer's back like a tendon, but he dared to break into the dragon's pond and tiger's den by leaning on the sacrificial furnace.

Not long after walking, the roe deer turned into another fork.

Mo Chuan did not stop and followed every step.

The surrounding mountain fog became thicker and thicker, so much so that the silhouette of the silly roe deer turned into a gray speck.

Fortunately, he didn't go far when the silly roe deer stopped in front of a smooth rock wall, and a wisp of incense smell suddenly left his body.

At the same time, there was a faint stream of light leaking from the smooth rock wall, and he landed on the ground and transformed into an old man with a childlike face and white hair and a fluttering cloak.

"Shoushan Shigong, I pay my respects to the Immortal. I brought the Immortal here late at night. Don't be surprised if I still hope for the Immortal!" The old man bowed solemnly.

"Shi Gong? Stone Spirit?"

Mo Chuan looked at the piles of rotten fruits and a cluster of burnt incense sticks in front of the stone wall next to the old man, and asked tentatively.

"Immortals have good eyesight! I am a stubborn stone in Shoushan Mountain. I have been worshiped by mountain craftsmen for many years. Fortunately, I received a prophecy and turned it into a spirit. I have been guarding Shoushan Mountain for thirty-four years." Shi Gong said calmly.

.

"That's it. I'm a poor man. I'm glad to meet you!"

Mo Chuan returned the gift with his hand, feeling suddenly enlightened.

——No wonder Shi Gong wanted to borrow the body of the silly roe deer, but it turned out to be a stone spirit that is as immovable as a mountain.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he encountered a dead thing turning into spirit, so he couldn't help but be curious and asked a few more questions.

This Mr. Shi was very upright and answered every question.

Speaking of the origin of Shi Gong, it is also related to Shoushan Town at the foot of the mountain.

Shoushan Town relies on mountains to eat mountains.

Shoushan built Shoushan Town, but it also accumulated bones over the years.

Every year, quarrymen visit Shoushan.

If you're lucky, you can still find the corpse and ask the corpse exorcist to return to his hometown.

Those who are unlucky will not even find their bodies.

When manpower is limited, he will inevitably look for the ethereal way to sustenance his spirit. It was under this background that Shi Gong was born.

The specific details cannot be studied.

In short, when Shoushan stone quarrymen pass by this smooth stone wall, they will definitely bring a wild fruit and insert a stick to offer incense for peace of mind.

"It's Shi's good fortune that the immortal comes here to show his favor! Speaking of which, Shi borrowed the roe deer to lure the immortal here, which is really a merciless request!"

After the pleasantries, Mr. Shi finally revealed his purpose.

"oh?"

Mo Chuan expressed doubts and neither agreed nor refused.

"In the past two years, many quarrymen in Shoushan have fallen off the slope and died. Most of the quarrymen thought it was caused by the exhaustion of rare stones and searching deep into the mountains. However, Shi knew that this was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster!"

"Man-made disaster? But a gangster who intercepted the corpse-carver?"

Mo Chuan suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Exactly! There are three gangsters in this group. They are really evil-minded and heartless. They often go into the mountain pits to kill the quarrymen and steal their money. Shi eats the quarrymen's incense and fulfills his long-cherished wish. I hate Shi.

My Taoism is shallow and I am unable to avoid disasters, so I am willing to ask the Immortal to help me eliminate disasters for the people!"

When Shi Gong talked about this group of ruthless bandits, his face became distorted with anger.

Because of this group of ruthless bandits, his reputation has been reduced by an unknown amount.

He took a breath and continued:

"Shi had nothing to repay, so he could only borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. On the eagle-attack cliff of Na Shoushan Mountain, there is a fruit tree that bears three to five fruits every year. Eagles and falcons often compete for it, and their beaks are as sharp as iron. They must be rare and rare fruits!"

Mo Chuan smiled when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid that I will dig up the fruit trees and walk away?"

Mr. Shi smiled and said: "As the saying goes: One's words and deeds reflect one's character, and one's actions reveal one's character. Shi would definitely not behave like this when he saw the immortal, otherwise Shi would not dare to attract the immortal here."

Mo Chuan was speechless after hearing this.

It turns out that this is where the opportunity for the corpse hunter comes from.

I suddenly had some insights into the Taoist theory of responsibility.

The Tao Te Ching says:

A house that accumulates good deeds will always be happy; a house that accumulates bad deeds will always have disaster!

There are cycles in the way of heaven, and there are responsibilities for good and evil.

Thinking of this, Mo Chuan immediately inquired about the whereabouts of this group of gangsters, and after he had grasped it, he said:

"The ugly words of the poor man are ahead. The poor man cannot listen to your words, so he will kill mortals. When the poor man finds out the cause and effect, he can make his own decision."

"It's natural. Mr. Shi will prepare rootless water, use water instead of wine, and wait for the good news of the immortal!" Mr. Shi said solemnly and bowed.

"Farewell!"

"Shi Mou congratulates the Immortal!"

Mo Chuan waved his hand and immediately went down the mountain along the country road.

…

…

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

Let's say that after the two corpse exterminators parted ways with Mo Chuan, they hurried along slowly and finally crossed Shoushan Mountain before dawn.

The master and apprentice rested for half a day and then began the finishing work of removing the corpses.

That is to say, the corpses are put into coffins one by one, and the employer is invited to come and collect them, and the final payment is paid at the same time.

In other words, the reason why corpse exorcists still have the one-stop service of gathering corpses into coffins is because the secret of corpse exorcism is really not exposed to the public.

If the family members find out that the body that was brought here only has the head and limbs, not to mention the money to remove the body, their lives may not be saved.

"Gouwa, nails! Gouwa? Gouwa?"

"...Ah? Master?"

"nail!"

"oh oh……"

In the dilapidated mortuary hut, the older corpse was putting the corpse into the coffin. He shouted a few times before calling the distracted young corpse back.

"Didn't you get a good rest?"

Da Shiming looked at his apprentice's gloomy face and asked with concern.

"...No, no!"

"I haven't slept well, so I'll go take a nap by myself. When my employer comes later, don't cause any trouble."

"Why!"

The young corpse nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but before taking two steps, he hesitated and came back:

"Master, are we really going to... stay in the mountains all our lives, plowing the fields when we are busy, and chasing corpses when we are free?"

"Otherwise? Why do you still want to ask for a wife? Let me tell you, this is a troublesome matter. When you are older, I will take you to the town to experience it, and you won't think about it anymore...

"

Da Shiming was muttering while working. As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at his apprentice.

But I saw that Gouwa had completely lost his usual shy and expectant look, and just stared blankly at the door of the hut.

Outside Chaimen, Shoushan stretches endlessly, surrounding the small courtyard.

It can be said: Who would be willing to stay in a hut if the mountain is isolated? If a Taoist has his way, the mountain will not be isolated.

"well--"

Da Zhiming sighed silently, turned his head, and continued to work, but his expression became much more solemn.

People are not frivolous and waste their youth.

He also came from a young age, so he naturally knows the young man's thoughts.

What's more, Gou Wa is not an ordinary mountain kid. He has seen a bit of the world and knows the scenery outside.

There is also the skill of corpse exorcism!

The copy of "The Legend of Young Heroes" in his hand was almost torn through by him.

He also learned the leg and kick skills he bought from the market so well that he even dared to block the machete of a gangster.

But...but, he didn't long for the scenery outside at the beginning?
To be continued...
