White Bone Monkey King

The most impressive thing about the national master's appearance at first glance is the Migration Palace Fenglong.

This is the characteristic of eating official meals.

A man destined to great wealth and great fortune.

Jin An was familiar with "Shenfeng Tongkao" and "Collection of Corpses". He referred to this book and applied it to the physiognomy of the imperial master one by one. He found that the physiognomy of the imperial master after his death did not match any of the signs of violent death.

Jin An was about to reach out to do an autopsy, but was stopped by Old King Ling: "There is a separation between yin and yang. The yang energy of the living should not be in direct contact with the dead. It is safer for Marquis Shenwu to wear a glove."

Jin An nodded, put on his glove and began to touch the bones of the Imperial Master for autopsy. However, there was a layer of rough glove blocking the body, making it impossible to feel the bones of the Imperial Master accurately.

A person's appearance can be changed by nature, but his bones cannot be changed. That's what he is born with.

Although there are ghosts in folklore who peel off bones and polish the skin to paint people, the shaved bones can be felt by touching them.

Facing the gazes of the old King Ling and the Imperial Master's family, Jin An briefly touched the Imperial Master's head with both hands, and then pretended to examine the torso, hands, feet, and limbs.

He said nothing during this period, and then asked about the location of the robbery hole. He also said nothing during the inspection.

King Lao Ling saw Jin An looking at the robbery cave and explained: "This robbery cave is on the top of the mountain outside."

Jin An's brows twitched: "The top of the mountain? Isn't it the direction of the tiger-shaped Tianling Cap that goes down the mountain?"

The old King Ling looked at Jin An with a slightly surprised look: "I didn't expect that Marquis Shenwu also had a deep study of Feng Shui. He is indeed a man of both civil and military skills, and a master of both civil and military skills."

Then he looked solemn and said: "Yes, it is exactly at the location of the Tiger Head Tianling Cap."

Tianling Gai is a place where essence is stored and Qi is stored. It is where the Purple Mansion is located. The robbery hole is as long and narrow as a coffin nail driven deeply into the Tianling Gai. This tomb robber is definitely not motivated by wealth. He is afraid that the enemy of the Imperial Master came to seek revenge during his lifetime. I want to destroy this tiger descending the mountain feng shui bureau and make the national master's death uneasy.

After listening to Jin An's analysis, Old King Ling nodded in agreement.

Under the leadership of the servants of the Imperial Prefecture, Jin An found the robber's hole outside. The robber's hole was drilled cleanly, straight and narrow, and he looked like a veteran digging graves and corpses, and he was quite thin.

"If you want to know the graves of men, women, old and young, only the grass and trees can know the sound. If you want to know the cause of death, the grass and trees can also tell the difference. You need to know whether the owner of the house is rich or poor, the cemetery and the mountains and rivers can distinguish themselves... The hole in front of the tomb is poisoned, and the earth is born and the skin is poisoned. People...if the top is sharp and the bottom is sharp and the middle is big, they must be yellow and swollen to death..."

Jin An silently recited "The Art of Cutting Off the Grave" while checking the overall Feng Shui situation around him. However, the Imperial Master had just been buried, and many Feng Shui changes had not yet begun.

Plants and trees nourish people, and people nourish plants and trees. This requires a process.

When Jin An came down the mountain and walked back to the cemetery, the family members of the Imperial Prefecture asked Jin An anxiously if he had found anything. Seeing Jin An shaking his head, these people looked disappointed.

Jin An: "None of the funerary objects in the tomb were lost, which shows that the other party was not looking for money. Judging from the destruction of the Feng Shui bureau, this person's purpose is more like coming straight to the remains of the Imperial Master. If it weren't for the old lady this time If you act decisively and discover it in time, maybe the Imperial Master's body has been stolen. If the other party fails the first time, he will definitely come and steal it a second time. In my opinion, we might as well wait and wait."

"There are not enough guards in the cemetery here, and no one knows when the tomb robbers will come back. It is not safe to leave it in the tomb. Why not transport the remains of the Imperial Master to the headquarters of our Criminal Investigation Department, and I will order people to lay a dragnet. As long as the tomb robbers dare to If you take the lead once, you will be able to capture the opponent."

Jin An's tone was calm, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his face. He had no hope that the people in the Imperial Prefect's Office would allow him to take away the body. The reason why he told the story knowingly was to test the demeanor changes of everyone present.

Sure enough, as soon as Jin An finished speaking, he was indignantly rejected by the people of the Imperial Preceptor's Office. Although the people of the Imperial Preceptor's Office did not say anything harsh to his face due to his status as a martial artist, the expression of distrust was already written on his face.

There was still no expression of joy or anger on Jin An's face: "Since I don't agree to transport the Imperial Master's body to the Criminal Investigation Department, I will take a few brothers to stay and wait and see for a few days, and by the way, continue to search for clues nearby."

The people in the Imperial Master's Mansion were obviously a little colder towards Jin An, and instead placed their hopes on the Tianshi Mansion and the old King Ling, and persuaded the old King Ling to stay in the cemetery for a few more days.

Jin An could see all the changes in the expressions of these people.

When the Imperial Master died, he did not let them, the Criminal Investigation Department, intervene in the investigation. When the Imperial Master's tomb was stolen and dug up, instead of going to Dali Temple and Yushitai, he finally thought of asking their Criminal Investigation Department.

Dali Temple and Yushitai took all the benefits, and it was only the Criminal Inspectorate's turn to wipe the butt afterwards. Do you really think that the Criminal Inspectorate is easy to control? Jin An knew very well that the calmer he acted and the less anxious he was, the more anxious someone was than him.

The sky darkens early in winter, and as soon as it gets dark, the bone-cutting cold wind begins to blow again. Coupled with the coldness of the melting snow, the people in the Imperial Prefecture who are used to fine skin and tender meat, rich clothes and fine food, immediately feel uncomfortable. Can't live.

It's so cold and damp in the mountains that it's bone-chilling, and no amount of charcoal fire will help.

Before dark, Fatty Li came back from the quarry and met Jin An safely.

Jin An: "How was the investigation?"

Fatty Li ran to the brazier to warm his frozen hands and said, "Forget it. After searching for a long time, there was no one there, only weeds taller than people. That place is completely deserted."

Jin An nodded, Fatty Li's answer was what he expected.

At this time, Fatty Li turned around and looked around: "Has the team that went to Widow's Manor not returned yet?"

When they heard about the Widow's Manor, the faces of several mausoleum guards present changed drastically, and the old housekeeper nervously said: "You went to Yi Zhuang?"

"Is there a charity village near here?" Yan asked the old housekeeper.

It seems that not everyone in the National Preceptor's Office is aware of the surrounding situation.

"Back to Madam, the Widow's Village that this lady mentioned just now is Yi Zhuang. This Yi Zhuang has had many names in the past. Before Yi Zhuang, it was called Widow's Village, and the earlier name before Widow's Village was Caishi Village..." The old housekeeper told the strange things in the quarry in detail, which made some ordinary people present feel their hearts tingling.

"Since the quarry was closed down, most of the widows in the widow's village who had lost their source of livelihood have left one after another. The remaining ones who have not left are also mentally ill and secretly changed the quarry into a charity village to provide The man in our family built a tomb, and it felt gloomy even when passing by it in broad daylight. As time passed, we found that the road in and out of the charity village was covered with weeds. The widows stayed in the charity village on the mountain all year round and never came down the mountain to contact outsiders. We don’t know how they did it. In order to provide livelihood, food, clothing, and clothing, we can only judge that the widows are still alive through the occasional clear nights and the few faint firelights that light up in the yizhuang."

At this point, the old housekeeper sighed, wondering if he was lamenting that misfortunes only pick on the poor.

Preparations for a cemetery usually start several years or even more than ten years in advance, from construction to site selection, groundbreaking, and completion. If it is a large-scale mausoleum such as an imperial mausoleum, preparations will begin as soon as he ascends the throne. , so it is possible that the tombkeepers here can remember the details of Yizhuang for so many years.
