Corpse-driving is a part of witch culture, also known as shifting spirits, which originated in Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu counties in Chen Gu. The rumor of "corpse-driver" in Xiangxi in Qing Dynasty was widely circulated, that is, corpse-driver used "secret technique" to bring the bodies of people who died in a foreign land back to their hometown and let them rest in peace.

"Xiangxi corpse-driving" has never been scientifically verified, nor has it been confirmed with my own eyes.

Legendary story:

According to legend, thousands of years ago, Chiyou led troops to fight against hostile tribes until the corpses were everywhere and blood flowed into the river. After the battle, we had to retreat to the rear. After the soldiers carried all the wounded soldiers away, Chiyou said to the military advisers around him, "We can't leave our brothers who died here. How about using some magic to get these good brothers back to their hometown? "

The strategist said, "All right. You and I will change our clothes. You take' Jeff' to lead the way, and I will supervise later. "

So the strategist dressed up as Chiyou, stood among the bodies of the brothers who died in battle, recited a spell, prayed to the gods, and shouted at the bodies.

All the bodies lying on the ground immediately stood up and followed Chiyou's "Jeff" to the south.
