Holy Bone

Jin An pressed the trunk of the mummy with his thumb and middle finger, starting from the Tianquan point and measuring all the way to the abdomen.

Roughly measure the outline of the object in the abdomen.

Then he perfectly shifted the contents of his belly and cut open the belly with his index finger, revealing the truth that had been hidden in the belly for countless years.

Zhang Zhuzhu leaned his head curiously and saw only the outline of a part of the object wrapped in layers of dried internal organs and flesh and blood. Through the luster of the fire, his hands and feet were vaguely visible.

"Taoist Master Jin'an, it seems like he is really a child?" Zhang Zhuzhu asked in surprise.

"Men can also be pregnant? It's a strange story for the ages. Could it be that we misjudged it from the beginning...is this a female corpse?"

Jin An was not shy about eating meat and vegetables and directly reached out to dig it out, sweeping away the black mud-colored internal organs. Under the light of a pillar and a torch on the side, the two of them could really see what it was.

"How could it be this!" Zhang Zhuzhu exclaimed.

At this time, Jin An was a bit like a nanny, but the child he delivered with both hands was not a normal child, but a black baby with a wood-like skin texture.

It is said to be sperm ginseng, but it does not look like ginseng. He has never seen black wild ginseng;

It is said to be wild, top-quality purple-black Ganoderma lucidum, but it is not like Ganoderma lucidum. The baby in my hand is too lifelike, with all hands, feet and torso, as dry as a dehydrated mummy;

It's not like human-shaped flesh Tai Sui. He has seen a few human-shaped flesh Tai Sui, but this one is nothing like it. Just because he has seen a lot of meat Tai Sui, he is familiar with the aura of flesh Tai Sui, but this one in his hand does not have the slightest aura of flesh Tai Sui.

But one thing is certain, the dispute between male and female corpses can be ruled out. The mummy in front of you is indeed a male corpse, not a pregnant corpse.

It is strange to say that when he took out the wood-grained baby by caesarean section, the mummy instantly decomposed and turned into a puddle of powder.

This scene attracted Jin An's attention.

While looking at the wood-grain baby, the two began to discuss why the wood-grain baby was hidden in the human body. Is it voluntary or forced?

Is there any significance?

Of course, this discussion process was mainly focused on Jin An. As an ordinary person, Zhang Zhuzhu was only responsible for listening and could not provide much advice. In the end, Jin An was the only one left reasoning to himself.

Jin An pondered: "There is a high possibility that this person is currently a friend rather than an enemy to us, otherwise he would not have helped us just now and prevented us from leaving the corpse pavilion rashly."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhuzhu felt that something was wrong with Jin An's words. He subconsciously glanced at the door of the Corpse Pavilion that had been closed again, and asked in a low voice: "Jin, Taoist Priest Jin An, when you opened the door just now... what did you see outside..."

What Jin An said lightly next made Zhang Zhuzi's skin crawl. Jin An said, "There is an aisle outside the Corpse Pavilion. The corridor is full of corpses. It is a place where corpses accumulate."

A place where corpses accumulate?

This doesn't look like a good place.

Zhang Zhuzi did not ask what the place where corpses were, but asked what kind of corpses were in the corridor, and then pointed to the ashes on the ground: "Are they the same mummies as him?"

Jin An did not answer immediately, but continued the previous topic: "If he is really a friend rather than an enemy to us, his ashes may be of great use to us. Find a device to store his ashes, and you, Uncle Zhuzhu, can Take it with you." "He was able to protect us just now, and it had the effect of removing evil and turning it into good fortune, and he can also have some starting effects in the future. After we go out, we will find a place to bury him. This can be considered as repayment and a good karma. Good results.”

Zhang Zhuzhu trusted Jin An immensely and naturally had no objection to Jin An's proposal.

At this moment, he was looking for a container to hold the ashes. Finally, Zhang Zhuzhu took off his outer robe, carefully wrapped the ashes in layers, and tied them diagonally to his chest.

After seeing it, Jin An laughed and said, "This is more effective in warding off evil spirits."

But judging from the unnatural expression on Zhang Zhuzhu's face, he was somewhat taboo about carrying the ashes of a dead stranger with him. Taboos are taboos, so Zhang Zhuzi did not refuse to take a stranger out.

"As for this wood grain baby..."

Jin An first held it in his hand and looked back and forth, then put it to his nose to smell it, trying to identify whether it was ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, meat Tai Sui, or something else strange and weird.

Huh?

Hearing this, Jin An raised his eyebrows and expressed surprise.

He thoughtfully handed the wood grain baby to Zhang Zhuzi and asked him to smell it to see if he could smell anything.

Zhang Zhuzhu was a little shy at first, closing his eyes and sniffing randomly, but soon he was as surprised as Jin An: "It smells so good!"

"It's a bit like an herbal scent!"

Jin An nodded: "It has been hidden in the corpse for so many years. Along with the rotting internal organs of the corpse, there is no fishy smell at all. Instead, there is a fragrance of herbs. Is this a kind of elixir?"

"Planted human elixir?"

Upon hearing about the human elixir, Zhang Zhuzhu instinctively resisted and stayed away from the wood grain baby, and then curiously asked Jin An what the human elixir was?

Jin An: "An ancient method of refining medicine, using the human body as a cauldron for alchemy, has almost disappeared now because it violates the harmony of nature."

Zhang Zhuzhu nodded as if he understood: "It seems that he is also a poor person."

Jin An: "This human elixir spirit infant, according to my guess, is most likely related to the plague-repelling tree. Let's take it with us to see if it can have any effect next."

"The mummy's identity will not be simple if he is not an infected person but dies here. And if there is a human elixir baby hidden in the belly, the two things combined will make it even more complicated."

Jin An did not give the human elixir spirit infant to Zhang Zhuzhu. This thing was too evil and unclean. It would easily cause evil spirits for ordinary people to wear it, so it was safe for him to carry it with him.

After doing all this, Jin An walked towards the door of the Corpse Pavilion again.

Next, he must explore the outside, and he cannot give up halfway because of a small episode.

Zhang Zhuzhu followed Jin An honestly.

creak-

The wooden door was pushed open, and the sound of sharp and sour teeth was heard again. This time, the sudden dark wind did not blow out the torches of the two people. Zhang Zhuzhu finally saw the place where Jin An mentioned the corpses.
