White Bone Monkey King

In fact, Jin An and the others haven't run into the coffin shop yet.

Uncle Lin had already seen Jin An outside the crowd.

"Uncle Lin, are you okay here?"

Jin An put away his oilcloth umbrella, put it at the door, bypassed the family members of the deceased who were kneeling and crying in a circle beside the coffin, and came to Uncle Lin and asked quietly.

As soon as Jin An rushed into the coffin shop, he smelled the smell of corpses.

Jin An directly held his breath and changed the external breathing to the internal and external breathing of the five internal organs. Only then did he dare to endure the corpse odor and walk into the coffin shop.

On the other hand, Sharp Sword followed Jin An as if nothing happened. He would go wherever Jin An went.

Wherever there is Jin'an, there will definitely be sharp swords following.

Uncle Lin shook his head towards Jin An.

Said he was fine here.

It's strange to say.

Before Uncle Lin shook his head and answered Jin An, his eyes first glanced at Guard Li who was following Jin An and was immediately smelled by the corpse odor outside the door. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve robe and curiously poked his head into the coffin.

Then he shook his head towards Jin An and answered.

"Uncle Lin, what happened to this coffin that was soaked by the rain? According to the rotten smell of the corpse, this person must have been dead for three or four days. According to the current season, summer will speed up the decomposition of the corpse. This person The specific time of death should be about one to two days?"

"This man has been dead for so long, why didn't his relatives find out that he was dead until now?"

"Even if he didn't live with his relatives, his neighbors didn't smell anything unusual? Didn't he notice that his neighbor hadn't gone out for several days?"

Jin An originally wanted to take a look at the condition of the body in the coffin, but the scene was a bit chaotic with the deceased's relatives crying around the coffin. This was the time when the deceased's family was most grieving, and Jin An couldn't step forward too much to avoid bumping into the deceased's family members or hurting him. What misunderstanding occurred.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Lin made a shocking statement: "The deceased person's name is Zhao Pingfa. He did die at home, but you are wrong about one thing. He did not die just a day or two ago, but has been dead for six or seven days." ."

"Zhao Pingfa is a dock porter. Because there has been little business at the dock recently, no one asked him to carry goods. This man is prone to drinking when he is idle at home. One day when he drank too much, he beat his wife and ran her back to her parents' home. Zhao Pingfa The wife was angry and took the children back to her parents' home for a few days. Just yesterday, Zhao Pingfa's daughter-in-law lost her anger and came back with several brothers and sisters from her parents' family, intending to support him, but as soon as he returned home, he saw someone dead. "

What?

Have you been dead for so many days?

Even the first seven days have passed.

Jin An was surprised and took another look at the coffin.

"That's not right...Uncle Lin, the rotting smell of this man's corpse does not match the time of death. The weather is so hot in summer. If a person has been dead for six or seven days, I am afraid that the whole body will have swollen giants, and even maggots will be the first to rot in the abdominal cavity." , has it penetrated to the surface of the skin?"

"That foul smell shouldn't be so light, right?"

Since he was used to seeing so many corpses and dead people, Jin An still had good eyesight. He could roughly estimate the time of death by smelling the smell of corpses in the air.

"Zhao Pingfa died in a weird way. You will understand after seeing it."

Uncle Lin led Jin An towards the coffin.

At this moment, the old Taoist priest also came over. Li Weiwei, who was standing outside the door and was used to smelling the smell of corpses, also came over shamelessly, following Jin An and the old Taoist priest with a very familiar and shameless manner.

Jin An glanced at Guard Li from the corner of his eyes, but did not stop Guard Li who was following him.

Uncle Lin didn't try to stop Guard Li who was shamelessly following him. Perhaps in his eyes, Guard Li was an acquaintance brought by Jin An.

"Ms. Zhao, and all of you, please express your condolences. People cannot be resurrected after death. The only thing we can do for the deceased now is to save his soul, and then let him rest in peace as soon as possible, reincarnate as soon as possible, and reincarnate into a good life. , Don’t suffer anymore in the next life. If Zhao Pingfa has knowledge, I also hope that he will protect his relatives in this world, so that his relatives will be safe and sound, and his children will grow up early, be sensible and filial, and be free from illness and disaster."

Uncle Lin patiently comforted the family members of the deceased with a gentle voice, and then introduced Jin An and the others to Zhao and others: "These are the Taoist priests of Wu Zang Taoist Temple. They have extraordinary abilities and are all Taoist priests with real abilities."

"If you plan to perform rituals for Zhao Pingfa, I can recommend to you several Taoist priests from Wu Zang Taoist Temple. You can rest assured of the ability of these Taoist priests."

"Since you have found me, Mr. Lin, today, you trust my character, Mr. Lin, just as I, Mr. Lin, trust the Five Zang Taoist Temple the most."

"This is Taoist Master Jin'an, and this is Taoist Master Chen. The few people behind them are also members of the Five Zang Taoist Temple. If you don't mind, can you let Taoist Jin'an and the others take a look at Zhao Pingfa's situation?"

Uncle Lin introduced Jin An, the old Taoist priest, Chi Jian, and Li Huwei one by one. Zhao was a very ordinary middle-aged woman. When she saw the Taoist priest, she wanted to bow her head, but the old Taoist priest helped her in time.

"Supreme Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun. Donor Zhao does not need to perform such a big ceremony. All living beings are equal. Regarding Zhao Pingfa's misfortune, please give me your condolences and be kind."

Usually in this situation, Jin An rarely comes forward, always asking the old Taoist priest to come forward.

Only the age of the old Taoist priest is more suitable for this kind of occasion, and can be more convincing and soothe the grief of the family members of the deceased.

Sure enough, as soon as the old Taoist priest came out and said a few words about the familiar road, Zhao's grief calmed down a little. Only then did a few people step forward to finally see clearly the condition of Zhao Pingfa's body.

"Huh?"

Looking at the corpse in the coffin, the old Taoist priest was stunned.

After seeing the dead man in the coffin, Jin An finally understood what Uncle Lin meant when he said, "Zhao Pingfa died in a strange way."

Zhao Pingfa in the coffin, his body was thin and withered, like a mummy. His mouth was wide open, and there were tearing wounds on his eyes, ears, nose, and seven orifices. Even his eyeballs were gone, leaving behind black eye sockets... The scene was like Something penetrated her body and she was sucked and fucked.

Why Jin An's first thought was that this person seemed to be sucked into a human being? Because he happened to see a similar corpse in the ancient tomb not long ago.

Jin An thought of the tragic ending of the descendant of the Lord of Teng Kingdom, who had his blood sucked alive by the roots of the soul-nurturing tree.

"Little brother, this corpse looks a bit like..."

The old Taoist priest just clicked on it.

The old Taoist priest looked solemn and frowned, even he could see it...

Now Jin An finally understood why the body decomposed so slowly after this man had been dead for so long. It was probably because all the moisture in the human body had been sucked out, thus greatly slowing down the decomposition of the body.

Jin An frowned.

He endured the stench of the corpse and wanted to step forward to inspect the body.

The Zhao brothers, as well as Zhao Pingfa's brothers, wanted to step forward to stop Jin An from touching the body.

At this time, the old Taoist priest hurriedly stood up and smoothed things over and said: "Donors, don't be anxious. My little brother did not mean to blaspheme the deceased. He just felt that this person's death was abnormal, so he wanted to check the cause of Zhao Pingfa's death."

After listening to the old Taoist priest's words, these people were finally willing to let Jin An touch the corpse.

so.

No matter which industry you are in these days, regardless of whether you have the ability or not, young faces always make people lack trust.

"How offended."

After Jin An saluted the deceased, he began to examine the body.

Jin An discovered that the deceased's chest had been dissected, and then sewn up with needle and thread. The neat stitches showed a professional technique.

Moreover, looking at the wound marks, it appeared that the person had been dissected and sewn back on the body after death.

Jin An continued to check.

Another abnormality was found on the deceased's chest. A large abnormal black pattern appeared on the left chest of the deceased.

Apart from the above two points, the corpse had no other abnormalities.

"You found out that Zhao Pingfa died mysteriously at home. You should have reported it to the officials. Did the officials conduct an autopsy on Zhao Pingfa's body? What did the officials say after the autopsy?"

After Jin An inspected the body, he asked Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao was just an ordinary woman. She was heartbroken in grief. In the end, it was Zhao Pingfa's brother who answered Jin An's words.

"Yes, the government office did examine the corpse, but later the case was taken over by the Duwei's cavalry guards. Later, General Duwei took the initiative to summon us, and General Duwei asked my brother Zhao Pingfa in detail who he had been in contact with recently, and who he had contacted recently. There are daily life trajectories, where you have been, where you have been..."

"... We boldly asked General Du Wei how my brother died. General Du Wei said that he already had some clues, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy and could not reveal the details of the case before it was solved. Then he compensated us a large sum of money. , let us take people back and bury them early..."

"But everyone is dead, so what's the point of asking for compensation? Money can't bring people back to life."

There was sadness on the man's face, and Ms. Zhao, who was holding the coffin, cried even more sadly.

Captain?

Jin An was really surprised this time. The captain was also involved in this case?

But speaking of it, the way Zhao Pingfa died looked more and more like the death of the human-dragon man who was sucked into a mummy by the roots of the soul-nurturing tree.

Jin An pondered, and a very bold guess suddenly came to his mind...

At this time, Uncle Lin, who was standing next to Jin An, lowered his voice and said: "Speaking of General Duwei, I remembered that a business I received two days ago was also reported to the Yamen. The captain took over the investigation, but the way of death of that man was different from that of Zhao Pingfa. His bones and internal organs were all shattered by martial arts masters..."

"Taoist Master Jin'an, do you think that the manner of death in these two murder cases is consistent with the death of the descendant of the Lord of Teng Kingdom whom you told me about in the Xiayinyijiang Ancient Tomb? The two ways of death are somewhat similar?"

After listening to Uncle Lin's words, there was no surprised expression on Jin An's face, as if he had already guessed the result. He looked at Zhao Pingfa in the coffin with unbearable eyes.

Uncle Lin sighed when he saw the expression on Jin An's face.

"There is a kind of witchcraft in this world..."

"If you plant the mother voodoo in your own body, and then plant the child voodoo in other people's bodies without knowing it, you won't see any abnormality at ordinary times, and these child voodoos will not cause any harm to people. But once the mother voodoo host is harmed, this will The sub-gu will sacrifice itself at all costs to save the mother-gu. The injuries suffered by the mother-gu host, such as liver damage, or injuries to the hands and feet, will appear on the child-gu host, exchanging injuries for injuries and lives for lives."

The human-dragon man could come back from the dead again and again, and no matter how serious the injury was, he could heal immediately. According to Brother Weeper, it was precisely because the human-dragon man sacrificed his life for others in exchange for his life.

This is stealing lives.

The old Taoist priest and Li Huwei were both shocked when they heard this answer.

Then there was an angry expression on his face.

What a sin!

These people are really worse than beasts!

This group of people has a lot of lives in their hands. If they don't kill them all, they will never be in trouble again. It's hard to put an end to one human tragedy after another! Jin An's eyes gradually turned cold.

The phalanges of his fingers under the robe were clenched so tightly that the fingertips turned white.

Just when Jin An was distracted and thinking about how to catch all the antique dealers on this trip to the Paradise of Cave Heaven, suddenly, boom, a hollow sound suddenly sounded in the coffin shop.

Because Jin An was distracted just now, before he could find the source of the sound, exclamations and screams could already be heard in his ears.

Zhao Pingfa's family members fled in panic.

"It's a fake corpse!"

"The corpse is moving, moving! The corpse has changed!"

"Tao, Taoist Master, help!"

Chaos, everything started to fall into chaos.

Zhao Pingfa's relatives in the coffin shop desperately ran away for their lives, looking horrified. Only Zhao did not run away. She held a pair of children in her arms, shivering and curled up, covering the children's eyes, and shouted her husband's name sadly over and over again.

The other unsuspecting people who had been watching the excitement outside the coffin shop were frightened and dispersed. There was a chaos outside the coffin shop. You squeezed me, I squeezed you, everyone wanted to escape.

Jin An was brought back to reality by the panicked voice. He looked into the coffin and saw the corpse inside the coffin that was soaked by the rain. It had been lying calmly and there was no sign of being a dead body.

Boom!

The unusual hollow sound came again, and this time Jin An finally heard it clearly. The sound was indeed coming from the coffin.

Boom!

Boom!

The sounds in the coffin became more and more urgent.

"Is this Zhao Pingfa's body really going to be a fake corpse? Hey, this is the first time I've seen a dead body raised in broad daylight!"

The old Taoist priest was so frightened that he trembled.

"Difficult, could it be that... after death, the poison in the human body has not died yet? Little brother, be careful, let's stay away from the corpse first. Mr. Lin, let's quickly use the coffin lid to seal the corpse first. Don't let that Zi Gu comes out and kills people again!"

The old Taoist priest said urgently that he would work together with the coffin shop owner to seal the body first.

"Don't worry, look at Zhao Pingfa's body. Zhao Pingfa's body has not been moved from beginning to end! The sound came from under the coffin board where Zhao Pingfa was lying! What is moving is the coffin! There is something in the coffin!"

It's okay if Jin An doesn't say that, no one moved? Is it actually the coffin that is moving? These words are scarier than bumping into an evil corpse in broad daylight. It makes people feel scared in broad daylight.

Before the old Taoist priest had time to speak, someone had already strode faster, reached into the coffin, and opened Zhao Pingfa's body with a fearless expression.

Then the other hand turned over the mat on which the dead man lay.

Unexpectedly, there was nothing under the mat, only water stains soaked by the rain. The water stains penetrated the mat, then penetrated to the coffin board under the mat, and then penetrated from under the coffin board where the dead man lay into the bottom mezzanine. .

At this time, the old Taoist priest who was worried about Jin'an and risked his life to accompany his fellow Taoist gritted his teeth and rushed over, intending to help Jin'an. Others also rushed over to help.

As a result, they saw that everything was normal in the coffin.

Nothing unusual.

Boom!

But the anomalies in the coffin continued. This time through the body that was opened by Jin An, they finally heard clearly where the abnormal noise came from. It came from under the coffin's mezzanine, which was nailed shut by several flat wooden boards.

"It turned out that we had a false alarm. It should be that after the coffin was soaked by rain, some rainwater flowed along the cracks and dripped into the mezzanine under the coffin board."

The old Taoist priest looked at the rain-soaked mats and coffin boards, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief. However, Uncle Lin, who was most familiar with coffins, twisted his eyes and said, "This sound is wrong! It doesn't sound like the sound of water drops dripping on the board!"

After listening to Uncle Lin's words, Jin An's eyes turned cold. He punched through the coffin board decisively to see what (xi) was hiding in the coffin to play tricks.

As a result, an even more shocking scene occurred that no one expected!

Let everyone present shout in surprise!

"Mom, why is there still a human hand that can jump in broad daylight hidden under the coffin board that is nailed shut by iron nails? Little brother, you were right, this coffin is alive!"

The old Taoist priest's exclamation rang out in the coffin shop!
