White Bone Monkey King

"Being a dart?"

Jin An was stunned for a moment.

He couldn't help but become concerned about this matter.

So I asked what happened?

What is a dart?

Feng Captou turned his eyes and looked at the old Taoist priest who had a mouth full of chicken smell and oil: "I believe Taoist Chen knows better than Feng what a secret escort is, right?"

The old Taoist priest, who had a bulging stomach after eating the Babao Chicken and his mouth was full of oil. He was picking the fish bones and picking his teeth contentedly. After listening to Feng Baotou's words, he frowned.

"Being an escort, this is not a simple matter!"

"The escort agency, also known as the escort agency, is just like the literal meaning, it is an escort agency that specializes in dealing with dead people."

"There are thousands of strange things in the world, including rare treasures from the world of heaven and strange things related to the dead."

"For example, coffins, corpse urns, ancient tomb offerings, burial objects for the dead, ghost objects, etc. In addition to these, they are also responsible for delivering the dead to the guests in a foreign land, and are responsible for transporting the dead bodies, which is similar to driving corpses."

"In short, these escort masters are all highly skilled and courageous people. There are martial arts people with strong martial arts skills, country Taoist priests, monks who have returned to secular life, etc. They are a mixed bag."

"In order to make money, any weird, all kinds of dead things will be transported."

"But they charge a very high price, which is not something ordinary people can afford."

The old Taoist priest continued: "According to different regions, there are different sects of Yin escort masters. However, Yin escort masters all over the world have one characteristic, that is, they only use dry roads and never water roads."

"Every time I am escorted, from the time I walk out of the escort agency to the time I arrive at my destination, apart from quenching my thirst and drinking water, I usually don't touch any water or take a shower for ten and a half days."

"Because water is black water, water can carry boats and capsize them. From ancient times to the present, people have drowned in all river basins. And rivers where people have drowned are prone to strange things, such as folk rumors , the water ghost pulls people to be scapegoats, so that they can come ashore and be reincarnated."

"This Black Water Xuansha can both block evil spirits and nourish evil spirits."

"Anyone who falls into the water and drowns is an abnormal death. He is a person who has not yet completed his life in the book of life and death in the hands of the judge."

"These people either jumped into the river and committed suicide out of resentment, or they were killed by others, so you can imagine the depth of their resentment. But because they were trapped by the black water, they could not get to the shore, and they sank into the sand at the bottom of the river all their lives. It won’t turn around until the sun comes out.”

"But water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it! The more resentful the corpse is at the bottom of the river, the more evil the atmosphere is, and the less likely the corpse will rot. In addition, water is a yin type, so at night the river becomes dark, swallowing up the yin of the moon. The accumulation of yin is powerful...so those corpses that have not been brought to the shore by their relatives after death and have not been buried in the ground are nourished by yin energy, and the theory of underwater corpses is gradually born."

"If it's a big river, and in a place where many people have drowned, there will even be hundreds of corpses walking on the bottom of the river, often making waves, digging up river banks, causing floods, or corpses hugging boats, causing them to capsize and harm people."

"And what did the underworld guard take? Those were underworld darts. They were either coffins, dead people, or burial objects in ancient tombs. They are all ghost objects that say 'the living cry, the dead laugh'."

"There are many people dying in the river, and weird things are easy to happen. It's like throwing gunpowder into a pile of fire. It will explode with just a little bit! Just a little bit of it will explode!"

"Whether it's true or not, in short, the people who took over the Yin escorts believe this very much and are very taboo about waterways. They would rather walk twice as far over mountains and ridges than cross the river."

"If we really have to cross the waterway, we will forcibly build a chain bridge to cross the river. We will drive a keel pile on each side of the bank and nail it to the ground veins to connect the thick soil on both sides. This way we can cross the river without touching the water."

"It's even so taboo that during the detention period, apart from simply drinking water to quench thirst, there is a strict attitude of never bathing in water. Even the water that we drink with us is different from the water that we ordinary people drink."

"It is said that during the period of being escorted, people have a strong yin energy, so they are particularly prone to attracting unclean things. Drinking water can produce strange and weird things, and when you wash your face with water, you will see scary scenes in the water..."

The old Taoist priest talked so much that he was spitting.

It was as if I had experienced it myself.

Jin An and Feng Baotou also listened with great interest and showed strong interest.

"Daozhang Chen knows so clearly, but has he personally encountered a shady escort?" Feng Captou asked with great interest.

The old Taoist priest straightened his back, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a wandering Taoist priest who had experienced a lot and had many wonderful deeds in his life.

"What did the escort that Mr. Chen met that time take the escort?" Feng Captou asked curiously.

The old Taoist priest was silent for a moment: "That day, there was a strong wind and sand blowing in Mobei that could not see the sun. Old Taoist priest and I happened to hide from the wind and sand together with those shady escorts."

"It was a strong sandstorm that was rare to see in a century. It blew for a whole day and a night and almost buried us all alive in the Mobei Desert."

"As a result, half a month later, when I heard the news about them again, it was that these escort masters were all dead, their skins were stripped off, and they were hung bloody in the Populus euphratica forest. When they were discovered by the passing camel caravan, they had already Dried into a bloody corpse."

"Furthermore, the Yin Dart was lost. The sealed box with the cinnabar ink line of the 'Seven Stars Holding Heaven's Miaokou' was flicked by an expert. It was also smashed, and the Yin Dart inside was missing."

Hiss!

Both of them gasped.

The back of my head feels a little chilly.

At the same time, I am glad that the old magic stick (Daochang Chen) was not too involved with the Yin escort master that time, otherwise the body hanging in the Populus euphratica forest would have been another lonely ghost.

Jin An secretly cursed, it seems that the personal risk of betting on a dart is very high!

The group is destroyed at every turn.

The key is that the bets are all evil things.

At the same time, I was also secretly surprised. It seemed that the travels that this old magic stick always talked about before were indeed not what he boasted about... He had even been to such a remote desert in the Western Region.

It's just that things are a bit unreliable

Although the old Taoist priest did not explain what the secret escort was, Jin An was very sensible and did not continue to ask further questions.

If the old Taoist priest really knew what the secret dart was, he would not be alive and well now.

…

After learning from the old Taoist priest what they were, Jin An looked at Feng Baotou thoughtfully.

"I wonder why Capt. Feng suddenly mentioned this matter?"

Unexpectedly, Feng Baotou smiled bitterly.

"After listening to Daochang Chen's explanation, Feng, who originally knew only a little about it, finally had a detailed understanding of the matter, especially after hearing the mysterious death of the shady escort master. Mr. Jin'an and Daochang Chen, please don't laugh at Feng's courage. Xiao, my hands are still shaking now and I can’t hold the tea cup steady..."

"The reason why Feng suddenly talked about this matter is because a treacherous escort passed by the border of Chang County not long ago."

"As a result, all the escort masters disappeared. No one was found alive, and no body was found after the death... It was not until someone came to report to the government yesterday, hoping that the Yamen could help find them, that Feng knew about it."

"This is also the first time that Feng has heard that there is a special profession in the world like a bodyguard who specializes in dealing with dead people and ghostly objects..."

"If Daochang Chen hadn't solved the problem today, Feng might have made a big mistake if he didn't take it too seriously."

Old Taoist priest: "Huh?"

Jin An: "!"

They just know!

Capt. Feng will not hold a banquet for no reason!

The old Taoist priest felt that his right eye was twitching all the time. He smashed it in his mouth several times, and suddenly he felt that the Babao Chicken in his mouth no longer tasted good.

The old Taoist priest looked at Feng Baotou, whose hand was still shaking when holding the teacup, and asked cautiously: "I wonder what kind of dart was thrown this time?"
