White Bone Monkey King

Under the coffin board.

A living hand was jumping around inside, as if a person was trying to break free.

The thump-dong-dong sound that Jin An and the others heard just now was exactly the sound caused by this thing banging back and forth under the coffin board.

The reason why he is said to be the palm of a living person.

Mainly skin color.

This hand is not the gray or livid color of a dead person, but has the same skin color as a living person, and veins and blood vessels can be seen under the skin, and there is still fresh blood on the tip of the index finger after the skin has been broken.

Under the coffin board, the fingertips that had been torn flesh were covered with many crooked words written in blood.

……help me……

……help me……

……help me……

It seems that this living palm has been sealed in the coffin for some time. It is impossible for so many bloody words to be written in a short time.

The most important thing is that in addition to being able to survive alone, this evil living palm is also like a human being and seems to have an independent consciousness?

"Mom, is the coffin really alive? Why is there a human hand missing from the coffin? Donor Zhao, where did you find this coffin?"

After the old Taoist priest was stunned at first, he saw that the hand in the coffin was in no danger except that it was like a headless fly stumbling around and struggling to escape from the narrow space of the coffin mezzanine. He calmed down and felt a little palpitated. He asked Ms. Zhao who was holding the child and shaking with fear.

only.

Zhao hasn't spoken yet.

Instead, it was Uncle Lin who spoke first.

"Daozhang Chen, don't embarrass Ms. Zhao. Let Ms. Zhao and the two children leave the coffin shop first so as not to scare them. Zhao Pingfa ordered the coffin from me. But one thing I can be sure of is that before the coffin was taken away, There are absolutely no hands in it. Because I make all the coffins in my shop with my own hands, they are like my old friends and I know them very well.”

Uncle Lin looked at the living palms in the coffin and the words written in blood, with the same expression of surprise and solemnity.

This matter is absurd enough no matter where it is placed.

Jin An stared at the human hands that were still in the coffin mezzanine, bumping around like headless flies, and said in surprise: "If there was nothing abnormal when we were in Uncle Lin's shop, it would have been hidden at Zhao Pingfa's house after leaving the coffin shop. Into the mezzanine of the coffin?"

Jin An was thoughtful.

Then he winked at the old Taoist priest.

The two had known each other for so long and had already cooperated tacitly. The old Taoist priest immediately understood what Jin An meant.

Next, the old Taoist priest and Li Huwei sent Zhao and the child to the Taoist temple opposite. They patiently comforted and checked their bodies to prevent Zhao and the child from being shocked and losing their souls.

Fortunately, during the day now, the living people have strong yang energy, and both adults and children are fine.

Seeing that everyone was fine, the old Taoist priest began to ask carefully about everything about the coffin and where it had been these past few days. Was there anything unusual along the way? Ask for clues about manpower.

After about touching a stick of incense.

The old Taoist priest and Li Huwei returned to the coffin shop, and the old Taoist priest shook his head.

"The coffin was taken away yesterday and delivered today. According to Mrs. Zhao's recollection, the coffin has always been placed in Zhao Pingfa's yard. Mrs. Zhao and several family members of the Zhao family stayed vigil all night, and nothing abnormal happened during the period. No one stayed alone. The coffin, being able to secretly hide a human hand in the coffin without telling other people, basically eliminates all the suspicious places and people that can be imagined."

The old Taoist priest continued: "The only unusual thing is that today I brought the coffin to the coffin shop, and I planned to ask Mr. Lin to find someone to help Zhao Ping do the ritual. On the way, it suddenly started raining on the way, and the coffin accidentally got wet. Rainwater seeped into the coffin and wet the body."

The old Taoist priest has said so much. In short, no one knows how this severed hand was hidden in the mezzanine of the coffin!

There was no clue at this moment, and everyone's thoughts went into a dead end.

"Little brother! Be careful!"

The old Taoist priest suddenly exclaimed. He saw Jin An reaching out to grab the jumping hand in the coffin mezzanine. He wanted to stop Jin An, fearing that Jin An would be scratched and infected with corpse poison or something.

Although this human hand looks like a living hand, it is so weird after all that no one can tell what this human hand is.

Jin An didn't have so many scruples. It was broad daylight and he had never seen any evil spirits or dead people who could come out and eat people in broad daylight. He had already grabbed the hand of the person in the coffin.

"Huh?"

Jin An's eyes flashed with a look of surprise.

"Old Taoist, Uncle Lin, come and touch this human hand and tell us how you feel..."

Jin An handed the severed human hand in front of several people, and the severed hand was suddenly grabbed, as if it had an independent consciousness, and started struggling excitedly.

Jin An was amazed when he saw it.

This thing is getting more and more interesting, just like catching a grass carp jumping around in his hand.

Even Uncle Lin and the old Taoist priest were surprised by the increasingly magical scene in front of them.

Fortunately, Uncle Lin and the old Taoist priest are not ordinary people. They have seen more dead bodies than most ordinary people have seen dead pigs. After the two saw that the human hand was restrained by Jin An and there was no danger, They all reached out and touched it with curious eyes.

The old Taoist priest was startled and exclaimed: "Ah! This hand is warm and has body temperature. It is indeed the hand of a living person!"

Uncle Lin frowned: "It does look like a living person's hand, with the elasticity and beating blood vessels of living human flesh and blood... To be more precise, this is indeed the hand of a living human being."

"But why is this human hand still alive after being chopped off and leaving the human body?" Uncle Lin and the old Taoist priest asked at the same time in confusion.

Jin An saw the longing look in Li Weiwei's eyes beside him. He wanted to get closer and touch him but was worried that Jin An wouldn't let him touch him. Jin An looked at Li Weiwei in a funny way and took the initiative to put the hand that was still struggling in his hand. The severed hand was handed to Guard Li.

Li Weiwei, who loves to hunt for novels and encounter evil, finally touched the severed hand with excitement, and then shouted excitedly: "Damn it, this hand is really warm!"

The severed hand was struggling in Jin An's hand, but now it was touched by a circle, like a good girl being teased by a group of old men, the struggle became more intense.

Especially Li Huwei's hands. The more he touched them, the more addictive he became. Jin An was dumbfounded and quickly stopped the courageous Li Huwei.

Then I also let Xiajian touch it and get a taste of it.

This is called sunshine, rain and dew, and everyone has a share.

Jiajian nodded numbly: "It's alive."

After touching it all around, Jin An continued: "As for why this human hand can still survive after leaving the human body, it probably has something to do with his strange fracture."

Jin An said, facing everyone with his severed hand.

Um?

Only then did everyone notice that the fracture of the human hand was actually smooth and neat. The bones, flesh, fat, blood vessels, and nerves were all clearly visible. Even the blood in the blood vessels was still flowing and circulating normally, but not a drop of blood flowed out from the fracture. .

This strange scene made everyone present look horrified.

"Look at the blood words in the coffin. There are so many blood words, and most of the blood words have solidified, which means that this weird hand has been hidden in the coffin for at least a while." Jin An guessed.

And continued: "Why was it quiet before?"

"There was no such big noise until just now?"

"I think...this should be related to the rainwater seeping into the coffin..."

"The rainwater penetrated into the coffin, and then penetrated from the coffin board into the bottom layer. The cold rainwater dripped onto the skin of the person's hand, irritating the person's hand and waking him up from a kind of slumber. So this is why everything has been peaceful until now. , there would be no news until we arrived at the coffin shop."

"As for when this human hand was hidden and how it was hidden, this matter needs to be rethought..."

"Speaking of which, the human hand hidden in the coffin has a broad and strong palm. It should be the palm of a man who has been working hard all year round." Since discovering that this human hand is not in danger for the time being, the old Taoist priest has become more and more courageous. , and Li Weiwei formed a pair of living treasures, and gathered people at close range to watch.

"And the skin on this hand is thick and dark, which shows that he comes from an ordinary background and has been exposed to wind and sun all year round."

"The palms and fingers are covered with thick calluses, which also shows that the work he is engaged in is related to strenuous work that is exposed to wind and sun all year round."

"I think that person's hand must be that of a carpenter or someone who has been holding a knife all year round to have such thick calluses on the fingers and palm. Looking at his thick black skin, there is a lot of mud in the nails, so it is not Like a martial arts swordsman, he should be a woodcutter who goes into the mountains all year round to chop firewood."

…

…

In fact, the corpse fraud in the coffin shop in broad daylight could not be hidden for long. The commotion here, the crowding and stampeding of so many people, quickly attracted the attention of the street patrol officers.

When the two government officials with knives rushed to the coffin shop and saw the human hand, they were frightened and their faces turned pale instantly.

In the end, this matter directly alarmed the government office.

A large number of government officials surrounded the coffin shop, and then the coffin, Zhao Pingfa's body, severed hand, Uncle Lin, Zhao, and everyone related to the coffin were all brought back to the government office for questioning.

Even the coffin shop was temporarily sealed by the Yamen.

Two government officials stood at the door to prevent outsiders from approaching.

On the contrary, Jin An, the old Taoist priest, Xi Jian, and Li Huwei, who were not closely related to the case of hiding the hand in the coffin, were not taken away. They only accepted a few daily questions from the arrester and then let them go.

The attitude of the people towards Taoist priests and monks is quite polite.

"Little brother, Mr. Lin was taken away by the government officials. What should we do? Do we want to find a way to get Mr. Lin out?"

As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. After returning to the Taoist temple, the old Taoist secretly pulled Jin An to a deserted corner and muttered.

After thinking about it, Jin An said: "Don't act rashly first. We have to believe in Uncle Lin's character. Uncle Lin must be innocent. As long as Uncle Lin is innocent and the hands hidden in the coffin have nothing to do with Uncle Lin, I believe the government will release him soon." If Uncle Lin doesn’t come back tonight, then we will find the He family, Xue family, and Jia family to come forward for Uncle Lin.”

These are Jin An's connections in Fucheng now.

In just a few months, he had developed close relationships with the three largest medicinal dealers in Fucheng.

"When it comes to the three major families, we have something bigger to deal with in advance." When he said this, Jin An glanced at Li Huanwei, and he planned to interrogate Li Huanwei's identity this time.

At this moment, Li Huwei has been cunning and cautious since he entered the Wu Zang Taoist Temple.

The last time he committed suicide by secretly feeding the silly sheep with chili peppers, he almost escaped being chased to the ends of the earth by the rampaging silly sheep. He was now scared of being chased by the silly sheep's pair of horns.

I was afraid that the calf that looked like a sheep would suddenly come out from some corner with red eyes.

Seeing Li Wei's cautious and funny look, Jin An couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Don't worry, Fatty Li, that stupid sheep has been tied up in the sheep shed and won't escape."

Li Huwei was also stubborn. He stiffened his neck and said with a stiff mouth: "Afraid? I am a dignified Li. I cannot be promiscuous with wealth, cannot be moved by poverty, and cannot be surrendered by force. How can I be afraid of a sheep?"

"Taoist Master Jin'an, please give me a little more time. The gift I purchased in advance, specifically to honor Senior Brother Yang, should be delivered soon."

Li Huwei said the toughest and most cowardly words, which immediately amused Jin An and the old Taoist priest.

"What kind of gift?"

Jin An didn't wait long when he heard the sound of many wheels turning outside the Taoist temple. Then, he was shocked to see baskets of carrots being transported into the Taoist temple.

Those carrots have juicy roots and tender leaves.

It is different from the wilted, dry and dehydrated carrots caused by drought around Fucheng.

This looks like fresh carrots specially transported from outside Fucheng at a great expense.

This batch of carrots was enough to carry three large trucks and weighed no less than a thousand kilograms. It was a waste of money to feed a goat. It was more than enough to open a restaurant to make Huadiao radish roots, and they couldn't be sold out in a short time.

Jin An: "?"

Old Taoist priest: "?"

Sharpening the sword remained motionless.

As soon as the leading driver entered the Taoist temple, he immediately recognized Guard Li. He was still holding a mule whip in his hand. He said happily: "Boss Li, we followed your instructions and brought three carts of carrots. May I ask these questions?" Where did Carrot move to?”

Li Wewei was very familiar with it. With a finger, he directed the cart drivers to carry the sheep in the direction of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Even Li Huwei did it himself, taking the lead in carrying the baskets, and deliberately smearing a few handfuls of mud on his body, making himself miserable and muddy, and then ran off licking his face to bribe the silly sheep.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest were dumbfounded by Li Weiwei's shameless manipulation. They went to such a big fight just to bribe a sheep?

When Jin An walked to the sheep shed in the backyard of the Taoist temple, he saw a harmonious scene. Guard Li didn't know what he had said to Shayang or what unequal agreement he had reached. He was holding a horse brush and giving it to Shayang diligently. He brushed his hair and smiled with a mean look on his face, but Shayang no longer chased Wei Wei with red eyes this time.

An Ran ate the fresh carrots that Li Wewei had just sent, still dripping with morning dew.

"Senior Brother, I've made you feel wronged. Are these carrots with wilted heads and watery brains meant for sheep to eat? People won't eat them. We don't want this kind of chaff!"

"Elder brother, come, come, eat the carrots that I specially asked someone to send you all the way from Yanzhou Prefecture. The carrots in Yanzhou Prefecture are also more famous, called small ginseng... They are big in size and colorful in color. Bright, sweet and refreshing taste, crunchy and crunchy when you take a bite..."

As Li Huwei talked, he brushed his fur and started to eat himself, even saying that he was hungry.

Faced with Li Huwei's great attentiveness.

The silly sheep's squinting eyes are as lifelike as those of humans.

If outsiders see this scene, they will definitely curse, this calf that looks like a sheep has definitely become a fucking sperm.

"I have never seen such a shameless person." The old Taoist priest said angrily.

"Little brother, I'm going to eat a Yanzhoufu carrot with some kind of small ginseng. Let's see how delicious this small ginseng is, how beneficial it is, and how different it is from our rotten carrots."

It's just that the old Taoist priest never came back...

Click.

Click.

Just listening to the crisp bite sound is so delicious.
