White Bone Monkey King

In the Taoist temple wing.

The old Taoist priest who was wrapping his arms around the quilt looked surprised when he heard a knock on the door on a rainy night.

"It's Haishi now, and it's already the city's curfew. How can anyone still go out on the streets late at night?"

"Is it someone from the government?"

The old Taoist priest said goodbye, but still went down to the ground to open the door.

There was a knock on the door late at night.

It must be something urgent.

It's important to save people.

At this time, the hurried knocks on the door and cries for help outside the Taoist temple were still ringing.

"Come on, come on, stop knocking on the door."

"If you shoot again, the door will fall apart."

The voice of the old Taoist priest came from behind the Taoist temple door.

Then, footsteps sounded in the Taoist Temple on a rainy night. They were the footsteps of two people. They stepped on the puddles and walked towards the door.

Squeak.

The door of the Taoist temple opens from the inside.

When the Taoist temple door opened inward, the Xue family members came to the Taoist temple in the rain to ask for help. They saw that a pair of old and young Taoist priests opened the door.

Then the servant of the Xue family, who was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, wiped his face that was wet by the wind and rain with his hands, and said urgently: "Taoist priest, human life is at stake. Please save our eldest young master and our eldest son." Young lady!"

"Please, Taoist Priest!"

Jin An and the old Taoist priest looked surprised when they saw that the other party's clothes did not look like a man from an official family, but he could go out on the street late at night.

The old Taoist priest did not rush to follow the other party immediately, but first asked the other party's identity: "Who are you?"

"Taoist Priest, we are the guards of the Xue family. Our eldest young master and eldest mistress have been possessed by evil spirits, and we are anxiously waiting for Taoist Priest to save them."

The old Taoist priest was confused: "Xue family? Which Xue family?"

The other party hurriedly explained: "You must have heard of the three major medicinal merchants in Fucheng, the He family, the Xue family, and the Jia family, right?"

"We are servants from the Xue family. Because something unexpected happened, we had to disturb the two Taoist priests late at night. We ask the two Taoist priests for their forgiveness. We are really eager to save people."

After the other party finished speaking, he quickly urged Jin An and the old Taoist priest to go to the Xue family to rescue people.

After hearing what the Xue family servant said, it was Jin An and the old Taoist priest's turn to look at each other with surprised expressions.

what happened?

Why are there three major medicinal material dealers again?

Since they arrived in Fucheng, they have been circling around these three major medicinal merchants.

Jin An told Xi Jian to stay and watch the Taoist temple, and then he and the old Taoist priest rushed to the Xue family with all their equipment to save people.

Xue's carriage had already been parked outside the Taoist temple, and a group of people took the carriage directly and rushed to Xue's house without stopping.

On the way, Jin An and the old Taoist priest also learned the whole story of this incident.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xue family, Mrs. Xue Han, was sleeping in the same bed with her husband Xue Xiong tonight. She dreamed that her husband woke up at some unknown time, and she sat half-sitting and looked in horror at the sleeping person next to her, Mrs. Xue Han.

Xue Xiong seemed to have seen something that frightened him.

He looked horrified and looked desperately at his sleeping wife on the pillow, yelling and crying some incomprehensible words.

Crying things like don't hurt his family.

Don't hurt his wife, parents.

He doesn't hide anymore.

He was willing to go with them.

He doesn't hide anymore, he doesn't hide anymore, why should he harm his family!

Then Xue Han saw her husband in her dream, yelling like a maniac, and took off the Buddhist rosary beads she had been wearing on her wrist.

As Xue Xiong took the initiative to take off the rosary beads, Xue Han woke up from the nightmare.

She turned around and looked at the bedside, and found that her husband, who was lying next to her, was gone. She touched the quilt and found that it had been cold for a long time.

The door of the house was open, and the wind and rain outside blew into the house along the open door. The lights and candles in the house had already been blown out by the wind and rain, and the house was pitch black.

Xue Han timidly called out to her husband, the maids and nurses who were standing outside the house, but no one responded to her.

Just when she was about to get out of bed, she touched something from her side. It turned out to be a rosary worn by her husband on her wrist. It broke at some point and the beads were scattered on the bed and on the ground, as if it had been torn off by someone.

Thinking of the nightmare she had just had, Mrs. Xue Han was so frightened that she screamed and called her husband's name.

Xue Han's scream broke the peace of the Xue family late at night. Not long after, other nursing homes of the Xue family heard the screams and came over. They saw that the maids and nursing homes who were guarding the door of the eldest master's room were all unconscious. Awake.

After waking them up, they all claimed in horror that a headless dead man came out of the eldest young master and eldest young master's room, and they all fainted from fear.

Those servants all claimed that everything they said was true.

That's really a headless dead man.

And looking at the clothes, body shape, and height, well, it seems to be the eldest young master of the Xue family, Xue Xiong...

After such a scare, Mrs. Xue Han seemed to be overly frightened. She began to have a high fever and fell into coma soon after.

Now the news has begun to spread throughout the Xue family that the eldest young lady must be evil.

And now, Xue Xiong, the eldest young master of the Xue family, has disappeared. He is neither alive nor dead, and his head is not found even after searching the whole house.

Even the old man and his wife of the Xue family were too sad and frightened. They fell into coma several times, woke up crying several times, and fell ill all of a sudden. The Xue family is now in chaos and has lost its backbone.

Headless?

Rainy season?

I wonder if Jin An is paranoid, why did he think of the story of the Headless Village that Li Huwei once told them?

It's just that this servant doesn't know the specific situation that happened to the master's family, and can only tell the general situation.

If you want to know more specific circumstances, you have to rescue Mr. Xue, Mrs. Xue and Mr. Xue Han before you can find out.

After listening to the words of the Xue family's servant, Jin An was puzzled: "There are so many famous Taoist and Buddhist temples in Fucheng. Your Xue family has a big business and you should not be short of money. Why don't you go directly to Bailong Temple to seek help from eminent monks? Instead, you come to Fucheng to gain fame." A small Taoist temple that is not visible comes to us?"

The servant of the Xue family explained: "The master, the old lady, and the eldest young lady have all fallen ill. Now the Xue family has no backbone. It is the new guard leader from the inner courtyard of the Xue family. His surname is Xu. It was Xu who asked us to come to the Five Zang Taoist Temple to invite the two of us. An expert comes out to save people."

"He said that the Taoist priests in the Five Zang Taoist Temple are all really capable experts, so he asked us to come directly to the Five Zang Taoist Temple for help."

"?"

Jin An was stunned for a moment.

"Old Taoist, you are active in Fucheng on weekdays and often attend some folk rituals. When did you come to the Xue family to perform rituals? Do you know anyone named Xu?"

In the carriage compartment, Jin An asked the old Taoist priest sitting next to him.

The old Taoist priest also looked confused and said he didn't know anyone named Xu.

The old Taoist priest also said that the Taoist temple has been expanding in the past few days, and there has been no business for rituals or funerals. The business has been very poor. Apart from the masons and heavy porters, the only outsider visiting the Taoist temple these days is the sneaky man this morning. The little thief who came to visit the Taoist temple.

Crack, crackle.

The night rain and cold wind blew against the carriage, which jolted and swayed along the way, and not long after, they arrived at the ancient Xue Mansion.

Then, under the hurried guidance of the Xue family, Jin An and the old Taoist priest entered the gate of the Xue family.

"Huh?"

"Is that strange?"

The Xue Mansion was very large, with numerous attics, pavilions, waterside pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings. Several people passed through various courtyard walls and corridors, and the old Taoist priest suddenly made a sound of surprise.

Jin An quietly asked what was going on, was there a scam in the Xue Mansion?

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said that Xue Mansion, like He Mansion, was a good Feng Shui bureau and very suitable for a Yangzhai. It must have been given guidance by an expert.

But the problem lies in this Feng Shui bureau.

The old Taoist secretly said that the Feng Shui pattern of the Xue Mansion was different from that of the He Mansion, but there were striking similarities in some details.

It seems that they are all made by the same Feng Shui master.

Although the feng shui patterns of He Mansion and Xue Mansion are not different, or even completely different, and the other party has tried its best to hide it, one person's way of doing things and speaking tone, no matter how hard they hide it, cannot hide some personal details and habits.

For example, this Feng Shui master likes the Hidden Wind and Water Diversion Bureau.

Another example is that they all like to use fairies to build bridges and lush flowers and trees.

And there is another very subtle point that is even more special, that is, in some inconspicuous details, the square and square design is based on the rockery and the running water. This is called the country is as stable as an iron bucket, and it is the Feng Shui that protects the officials. .

Only those who have had an official career in their family will use this Feng Shui tactic to ensure their success in the officialdom.

With this feng shui bureau in your home, as long as you are upright and have a clear conscience, you will not be easily framed by your opponents in partisan disputes in the court.

However, because the pattern of this Feng Shui bureau is too high, it is only used in the homes of officials in the court.

Most people use this Feng Shui tactic, which is called moral mismatch. Short people wear tall hats and draw themselves a picture of a river surrounded by an iron bucket as a prison tactic, and they will never get ahead.

The old Taoist priest continued.

When he first saw the Iron Tong Jiangshan Bureau in the He family, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the He family had produced scholars or successful candidates.

The He family has a great business, and the children of the family have flourished. It is not unusual for a few to have achieved fame and become officials in the court.

Moreover, the He family's business has been booming, which is enough to prove this point.

But this same Feng Shui detail also appears in Xue Mansion. The key is that there are several other subtle details that are similar, which makes people have to speculate... The Feng Shui bureau of He Mansion and Xue Mansion are probably all from the same The hand of an expert.

When Jin An heard this, he fell silent.

At first, because it was dark and raining, he didn't take a closer look. But now, after being pointed out by the discerning old Taoist priest, he suddenly figured out something.

"What's wrong little brother?"

"Old Taoist, I'm afraid that the feng shui of the Yangzhai in He Mansion, Xue Mansion, and Jia Mansion were all created by the same person."

Jin'an quietly told the old Taoist priest what he found at Jia's house when he was walking in the underworld, and the old Taoist priest was dumbfounded.

…

Xue Mansion is divided into an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard. In the inner courtyard, the direct family members and female relatives of the Xue family live. As a group of people walked along, they saw that Xue Mansion was now in chaos.

The whole Xue family was out in the rain looking for the missing eldest young master.

The servants of the Xue family led Jin An and the old Taoist priest directly into the inner courtyard of the Xue mansion, and first came to the independent courtyard where Xue Xiong and Xue Han lived.

As soon as I entered the house, I felt much warmer without the wind and rain outside.

There were many servants and doctors gathered in the room, busy taking care of Xue Han who was unconscious due to high fever.

A group of maids were fetching hot water and changing facial handkerchiefs. They kept applying hot handkerchiefs to Xue Han's forehead.

As soon as Jin An entered Xue Han's house, the first thing he did was look at the air and scan the whole house.

But there is no evil or evil spirit in the house.

This shows that the strange things that happened in Xue Mansion tonight were not caused by evil spirits.

Jin An's eyes were filled with surprise.

Seeing two Taoist priests, an old man and a young man, enter the room, the servants and maids who were busy beside the bed quickly bowed respectfully and then took the initiative to step aside.

Let Jin An and the old Taoist priest come to the bedside to treat Xue Han's illness and exorcise evil spirits.

At the same time, these servants, maids, and several doctors all looked at the two Taoist priests invited by the Xue family curiously. They wanted to see how the two Taoist masters exorcised evil spirits.

After Jin An glanced at Xue Hanshi on the bed, he stopped caring. At a glance, he saw that Xue Hanshi's Yintang and philtrum were black, and Xue Hanshi's Yang Qi was short, which was caused by the evil wind entering the body. It is not the sinister yin energy that enters the body.

It shows that Mr. Xue Han has indeed been possessed by evil spirits before, but it was not a sinister act. What exactly is it? We need to carefully investigate to find out what it is?

This was the first time Jin An had encountered this symptom. He didn't know whether it would be effective to directly use Zangqi to remove the poison or use fire poison and internal energy to remove the poison, so he first let an experienced Taoist priest with more experience in the world take action to solve it.

Fortunately, the evil wind entering the body is not serious, and the black lines between Renzhong and Yintang are not connected. It is not a terminal illness, and the person can still be cured.

Then, he turned to look curiously at the rosary beads that had been scattered away because of the broken rope and had been put away in a copper basin washbasin.

At this time, the old Taoist priest had already started to save people.

He first took out a yellow talisman from the Tai Chi Bagua bag, but it was not an evil talisman, but a Liuding and Liujia talisman. Liujia is the Yang God, which can get rid of evil spirits and protect the Yang energy of living people.

The old Taoist priest folded the Liuding Liujia Talisman into an amulet, put it around Xue Han's neck, and then took out a pot of Sanyang wine.

Since we are here to exorcise evil spirits in Xue Mansion, how can we miss Sanyang Wine? The old Taoist priest has already brought all the people who are eating.

The old Taoist priest asked the maid of the Xue family to take off Xue Han's clothes, apply Sanyang wine all over Xue Han's body, and massage Xue Han non-stop tonight to activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dredge meridians, and remove rheumatism and blockage. After Xue Han's body is cooled and the whole body is warmed, the person will be able to wake up during the day tomorrow. Of course, when it comes to taking off clothes and massaging to activate blood circulation, everyone else leaves the house to avoid it.

Xue Han's main problem is that evil winds enter the body and the yang energy is damaged. People have three fires. But now Xue Han's three yang fires are weak, which leads to a deterioration of the constitution, coldness entering the body, high fever, and coma. Awake.

As long as the three yang fires are rekindled and the yang energy of a living person is invigorated, the disease will naturally be cured by the medicine.

Just when the old Taoist priest asked the maid to pay attention to how to massage to promote blood circulation, Jin'an on the other side walked to the copper basin. He reached out and picked up a rosary to look at.

Jin An observed carefully several times, and even used the Qi Watching Technique, Zang Qi, and Black Mountain Gong Internal Qi. These beads had no evil, yin, or evil qi.

On the contrary, under the qi-watching technique, the Buddha's light, which was as weak as a firefly, was dissipating.

This is because the rosary has been destroyed.

The mysterious magic attached to the rosary beads by the enlightened monk is dissipating.

"Sleeping under the quilt, husband and wife are of the same mind. If Xue Han's dream is true, and she really dreamed of the last tragic situation of her husband who slept with her quilt... Then, what is the fear of the missing headless eldest son of the Xue family? What? What did he see in the wife he shared the same bed with, that could actually frighten him to such panic and despair? "

After handling Xue Han's situation, Jin An and the old Taoist priest rushed to Master Xue and Mrs. Xue's room without stopping, led by the servant who led the way at the beginning.

On the way, Jin An asked the old Taoist priest his question, what happened to Xue Han? It doesn't look like he's doing something sinister.

With the Feng Shui layout of the Xue Mansion guided by experts, ordinary dirty things cannot get in at all and are directly blocked outside.

Moreover, he found no sign of Yin Qi on Xue Han's body, Xue's mansion, or on the broken rosary beads.

What happened in Xue Mansion this time was really strange. Is it because something unclean was causing trouble? But it doesn’t look like it.

Is it because people are pretending to be gods? However, Mrs. Xue Han did have signs of evil wind entering her body and her yang energy being damaged.

This was the first time he encountered this situation.

"Just now, when the maids of the Xue family were massaging and rubbing the body of the eldest mistress of the Xue family, I asked the maids that they did not feel any hard lumps or knots on the chest or armpits of the eldest mistress of the Xue family. The eldest mistress of the Xue family did not I was possessed by evil spirits."

The old Taoist priest deliberately avoided the Xue family and whispered to Jin An.

Then the old Taoist priest expressed some of his conjectures: "Old Taoist, I think that the missing headless eldest son of the Xue family is most likely to have some kind of powerful curse or voodoo. This curse or voodoo has been planted for a long time. It has been planted in the human body, and it does not constitute evil, so the Xue Mansion Feng Shui Bureau will lose its effect."

"The Feng Shui bureau can only block evil spirits and prevent evil spirits from entering the Yang house, but it is not omnipotent. Curses and bewitching spells cannot stop it."

"But the conditions for being cursed and bewitched are more difficult than being unlucky and evil. You can't just curse or bewitch someone casually. You must meet the strict conditions."

…

The group of them soon met Mr. Xue, the current head of the Xue family.

At this time, Mr. Xue and Mrs. Xue were both bedridden and unconscious. They were both elderly people in their sixties. The Xue family had invited many doctors from all over the city to take good care of them.

The doctor said that the two elders were not seriously ill. They were just overly sad, frightened and cold, and were temporarily unconscious.

After drinking a few medicines and recuperating for a period of time, you can slowly regain your strength.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest also checked the two elderly people and saw that there were no other abnormalities on them, so they left the room and planned to stay at Xue's house for one night to recharge their batteries until Xue Han woke up tomorrow and asked for details. Only then can you know what to do next.

Now the only people who know about Xue Xiong's condition are all unconscious. They have no clue at all, and they can't find anyone even if they want to.

As the saying goes, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

In the room of Mr. Xue and Mrs. Xue, Jin An and the old Taoist priest also saw Commander Xu. He looked strange and Jin An had never seen him before.

Just when Jin An and the old Taoist priests walked out of the room of Mr. Xue and Mrs. Xue, the head of the nursing home named Xu suddenly chased them out and called them from behind.

"Two Taoist priests, please wait a moment. Can you please take a moment to speak? Regarding the disappearance of the eldest young master, I have found a few important witnesses who can provide clues. There were many people in the back room just now, so it is not convenient to say more."

Commander Xu clasped his fists and said politely: "Now I have invited those important witnesses to the Xue Mansion. They are now waiting for the two Taoist priests in a lower courtyard."

However.

Before Jin An could answer, the old Taoist priest on the side looked closely at the face of Commander Xu who was standing in front of him. Then, he looked shocked and looked like he had seen a ghost.

The old Taoist priest quickly listened to Jin An, wondering what he had muttered to Jin An. Jin An also looked up at Commander Xu in front of him with a face of shock.

The next moment it changed to a strange expression.

"Commander Xu, right?" Jin An looked at Commander Xu in front of him with an increasingly weird expression.

The person in front of him nodded: "Exactly."

"Or, I'll call you Guard Li!" Jin An looked at Commander Xu, who had been playing their role all the way, with a pained expression on his face. Or he could call you Guard Li next to Mrs. He's wife.

Is this Guard Li playing Infernal Affairs?

give me a chance.

I want to be a good nursing home.

Madam, when can I go back? If you don't call me back to the He Mansion, I will sneak into the leadership position of the Xue Family Nursing Home.

The more Jin An thought about it, the more his balls ached.

The expression on Commander Xu's face at this time was as if he was saying "F*ck", and his face was no less shocked than Jin An and the old Taoist priest. He was shocked and horrified, and quickly pulled Jin An and the old Taoist priest to a corner: "I follow the masters of disguise in the world. I learned the art of disguise, but even the acquaintances around me don't recognize me on weekdays. How did you, Taoist Jin An and Taoist Chen, recognize me?"

Jin An: "!"

Old Taoist priest: "!"

Sure enough, Li Wei, you have always been playing us!

"Tell us first, aren't you the guard Li who works for Mrs. He's family? Why did you become the Xu Huyuan of the Xue family? You actually got into the position of being the commander of the inner courtyard's nursing home again!"

Jin An had a painful look on his face as he looked at the guard Li who he could not recognize after the disguise.

Li Huwei looked around cautiously, and after seeing no one around, he secretly explained: "Taoist Priest Jin'an, I finally found a clue to Wutou Village."

"The eldest young master of the Xue family is a martial arts fanatic. About a year ago during the rainy season, he took the Xue family's servants into the mountains for hunting."

"The disappearance of the eldest son of the Xue family is related to Wutou Village, and the disappearance this time is not only the eldest son of the Xue family, but also the servants who went hunting in the mountains with the eldest son of the Xue family. But those few People disappeared earlier, not long after the rainy season began. They disappeared one after another. Perhaps because of the protection of the rosary consecrated by Bailong Temple, the eldest young master of the Xue family was not the last to be traced until the end of the rainy season. "

"In order to find out the secrets of the Xue family, I even resigned from the Hefu nursing home. Starting from Bai Ding, I entered the Xue family to investigate clues in Wutou Village. It was a huge sacrifice. As a result, ahem, because of Mr. Li, I He is extremely talented, but the Xue Mansion happened to be short of people, so he accidentally got into the position of leader of the nursing home." Guard Li boasted to himself.

"I, Mr. Li, promised Taoist Jin'an and Taoist Chen that I would try my best to find clues about Wutou Village. As soon as I found important clues in the Xue Mansion, I immediately asked the Xue family to inform Taoist Jin'an and Taoist Chen. As friends, I, Mr. Li, must be considered loyal and loyal."

"I have made such a great contribution. No matter what the two Taoist priests say this time, they will definitely take me to fight evil. This time when I go to Wutou Village, they will take me with them no matter what."

Li Huwei, who only wanted to encounter evil spirits once in his life, would not let go of Jin An and the old Taoist priest no matter what.

Jin An: "..."

Old Taoist priest: "..."

After listening to Li Huwei's explanation, although it seemed to make sense logically, Jin An still felt that something was wrong?

But when Li Huwei kept asking him how he could see his disguise skills, Jin An got tired of the questioning, so he replied: "Everyone's face is innate and unique at birth, unless... The Yin Face Alchemy can completely change one's face and change one's appearance. Otherwise, ordinary Jianghu disguises cannot cover up each person's unique appearance."

"So in front of an expert in physiognomy, there is no difference between being disguised or not."

As Jin An spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the old Taoist priest, which meant that the old Taoist priest recognized Li Huwei's face.

The old Taoist priest suddenly raised his head and chest, filled with fairy spirit.

Li Huwei looked at the old Taoist priest in shock.

"Daozhang Chen, you are truly an expert!"

"I'm convinced! I'm in awe!"
