Holy Bone

Chapter 268 Stealing Yangshou

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 the tarpaulin umbrella, put the umbrella at the door, bypassed the family members of the deceased who were kneeling and crying in a circle by the coffin, and came to Uncle Lin and asked in a low voice.

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

Jin An directly held his breath, changed his external breathing to the internal circulation of the five internal organs, and then dared to endure the smell of corpses and walked into the coffin shop.

On the contrary, Chi Jian followed Jin An all the way like a normal person, wherever Jin An went, he would go there.

As long as there is Jin'an, there must be a sword following.

Uncle Lin shook his head towards Jin'an.

Said he was fine here.

Strange to say.

Before Uncle Lin shook his head and answered Jin An, his eyes first looked at Guard Li, who followed Jin An, and then was immediately smothered out of the door by the smell of corpses. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve robe and looked into the coffin curiously.

Then Chao Jinan shook his head and answered.

"Uncle Lin, what's the matter with this rain-soaked coffin? 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 decay of the corpse. The specific death should be about one to two days?"

"This person has been dead for so long, why did his relatives not 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 they find that their neighbors haven't gone out for several days?"

Jin An originally wanted to take a look at the condition of the corpse in the coffin, but the relatives of the deceased were crying around the coffin. What a misunderstanding.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Lin said surprisingly: "The person who died was Zhao Pingfa. He did die at home, but you are wrong about one thing. He didn't just die for a day or two, but he had been dead for six or seven days. .”

"Zhao Pingfa is a porter, because there is no business at the port recently, and no one asks him to carry goods. This man tends to drink too much when he is idle at home. One day, he beat his wife when he drank too much, and sent her back to her mother's house. Zhao Pingfa The daughter-in-law was angry and took the child back to her natal home for a few days. Just yesterday, Zhao Pingfa’s wife got angry and brought back a few older brothers and younger brothers from her natal family, intending to support herself, but when she got home, she saw that they died. "

what?
Dead for so many days?
This is even the first seven have passed.

Jin An was surprised to look at the coffin more.

"No... Uncle Lin, the rotting smell of this person's corpse does not match the time of death. The weather is so hot in summer. If a person dies for six or seven days, he may have a giant appearance with swelling all over his body, and even the first rotten maggots in his abdominal cavity , Has it penetrated to the surface of the skin?"

"That stench shouldn't be so light, right?"

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

"Zhao Pingfa died in a strange way, you will understand after reading it."

Uncle Lin led Jin An to the coffin.

At this moment, the old Taoist priest also came over, and Guard Li, who was used to smelling the smell of corpses standing outside the door, also came over cheekily, and followed Jin An and the old Taoist priest cheekily.

Jin An glanced lightly at Guard Li from the corner of his eyes, but he didn't try to stop Guard Li who followed.

Uncle Lin didn't stop the thick-skinned Li Huwei from following. Perhaps in his eyes, Li Huwei was an acquaintance brought by Jin An.

"Mr. Zhao, and all of you, please express your condolences. People cannot be resurrected after death. The only thing we can do for the dead is to save the soul for him, and then let him go to the earth as soon as possible, reincarnate as soon as possible, and reincarnate a good life. , Don’t suffer any more in the next life. If Zhao Pingfaquan knows, I hope he protects his relatives in this world, so that his relatives are safe and sound, and his children grow up early, sensible and filial, free from illness and disaster.”

Uncle Lin patiently comforted the family of the deceased with a gentle voice, and then introduced Jin An and the others to Mrs. Zhao: "These are the Taoist priests of the Five Viscera Taoist Temple, with extraordinary abilities, and they are all Taoist priests with real skills."

"You are planning to do something for Zhao Pingfa. I can recommend to you some priests from the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera. You can rest assured of their ability to handle affairs."

"Since you found me, Mr. Lin today, you trust my character, Mr. Lin, just as I, Mr. Lin, also trust the Taoist temple of the five internal organs the most."

"This is Daoist Jin'an, and this is Daoist Chen. The people behind them are also people from the Taoist Temple of the five internal organs. If you don't mind, can you let Daoist Jin'an and the others take a look at Zhao Pingfa's situation?"

Uncle Lin introduced Jin An, the old Taoist priest, Jian Jian, and Li Huwei one by one. Mrs. Zhao was a very ordinary middle-aged woman.

"Supreme Taiyi saves the Heavenly Venerable Sufferer. Donor Zhao doesn't need to perform such a grand ceremony. All living beings are equal. For Zhao Ping's misfortune, please donate your condolences."

Usually in this kind of situation, Jin An seldom came forward, and he always asked the old Taoist priests to do so.

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

Sure enough, as soon as the old Taoist came out, his familiar words calmed down Zhao's grief a little. At this moment, several people stepped forward and finally saw the condition of Zhao Pingfa's body clearly.

"what?"

Looking at the corpse in the coffin, the old Taoist stared in surprise.

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

In the coffin, Zhao Pingfa's body was emaciated and withered, like a mummy. His mouth was wide open, and his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and seven orifices had tear wounds, and even his eyeballs were gone, leaving black eye sockets... That scene was like Being sucked into the body by something, it became a human.

Why Jin'an's first thought was that this person seemed to be sucked to fuck, because he happened to see a similar corpse in the ancient tomb not long ago.

Jin An thought of the tragic end of the descendant of the Teng Kingdom Lord, whose blood was sucked alive by the roots of the soul-cultivating tree.

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

The old Taoist clicked to stop.

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

Now Jin An finally understands why the corpse decays so slowly after this person has been dead for so long. This is probably because the body's moisture has been sucked dry, which greatly slows down the decay of the corpse.

Jin An frowned.

Enduring the stench of the corpse, he wanted to step forward to check the corpse.

The brothers of the Zhao family, as well as Zhao Pingfa's family brothers, wanted to stop Jin An from touching the corpse.

At this time, the old Taoist hurriedly stood up and smoothed things over and said, "Several benefactors, don't worry. My little brother didn't mean to blaspheme the deceased. He just felt that this person died a little abnormally, so he wanted to check the cause of Zhao Pingfa's death."

After hearing what the old Taoist said, these people were finally willing to let Jin An touch the corpse.

so.

No matter what industry you are in these days, regardless of whether you are capable or not, young faces always make people lack trust.

"What an offense."

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

Jin An found the chest of the deceased, and it was dissected, and then it was sewn up with a needle and thread. The neat stitches are professional techniques.

And judging from the traces of wounds, they were dissected and then stitched to the corpse after death.

Jin An continued to check.

Another anomaly was found on the chest of the deceased, a large area of ​​abnormal black lines appeared on the left chest of the deceased.

Apart from the above two points, there was no other abnormality in the corpse.

"It was discovered that Zhao Pingfa died strangely at home. You should have reported it to the officials. Did the official foreman dissect Zhao Pingfa's body for autopsy? What did the government say after the autopsy?"

After Jin An inspected the corpse, he asked Mrs. Zhao.

The Zhao family was just an ordinary woman, she was heartbroken and heartbroken, and in the end it was Zhao Pingfa's brother who answered Jin'an's words.

"That's right. The government officials did have a body examination, but later the case was taken over by the captain's cavalry guards. Later, the captain took the initiative to summon us, and the captain asked in detail who my younger brother Zhao Pingfa had contacted recently. There are daily life tracks, where have you been, where have you been..."

"...We boldly asked General Captain how my brother died. General Captain said that he already had some clues, but he was afraid of alarming the enemy, so he could not disclose the case before the case was solved, and then compensated us a large sum of money. , let us take people back for an early burial..."

"But people are dead, so what's the use of us asking for compensation, money can't bring people back from the dead."

There was a sad expression on the man's face, and Zhao, who was holding the coffin, cried even more sadly.

Captain?

Jin An was really a little surprised this time. The captain is still involved in this case?

But speaking of it, Zhao Pingfa's death looks more and more like the death method of the famous dragon man who was sucked into a mummy by the roots of the soul-cultivating tree.

Jin An pondered, a very bold guess suddenly popped up in his heart...

At this time, Uncle Lin, who was standing beside Jin An, said in a low voice: "Speaking of General Du Wei, I remembered that a business I received two days ago was also reported by the Yamen after it was reported. The captain took over the investigation, but the way that person died was different from that of Zhao Pingfa, all the bones and viscera of his body were shattered to death by a martial arts master..."

"Daoist Jin'an, do you feel that the way of death of the deceased in these two murder cases is similar to that of the descendant of the Lord of Teng Kingdom that you told me about in the ancient tomb of Xiayin Yijiang? The second death method is somewhat similar?"

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

Seeing the expression on Jin An's face, Uncle Lin sighed.

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

"Planting the mother Gu in one's own body, and then planting the child Gu in other people's bodies without knowing it, usually nothing abnormal can be seen, and these child Gu will not cause any harm to people. But once the host of the mother Gu is harmed, the The child Gu will sacrifice itself to save the mother Gu at all costs. The injuries suffered by the mother Gu host, such as liver damage, such as injuries to hands and feet, will all appear on the child Gu host, trading injuries for injuries and lives for lives."

That human-dragon man can come back to life again and again, and no matter how serious the injury is, he can heal immediately. According to the mourner brother, it is precisely because the human-dragon man traded his life for another's life.

This is stealing human life.

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

Then there was an angry look on his face.

Sin!
These people are really inferior to animals!
This group of people has a lot of lives in their hands. If they don't kill them all, they will never suffer from future troubles.Jin An's eyes gradually turned cold.

The phalanges of his ten fingers under the Taoist robe were tightly clenched, and the fingertips turned white.

Just when Jin An was distracted thinking about how to wipe out the group of antique dealers on this trip to the Paradise, suddenly, boom, there was a hollow sound, which sounded abruptly in the coffin shop.

Because Jin An was distracted just now, before he had time to find out where the sound came from, exclamations and screams sounded in his ears.

Zhao Pingfa's family members fled in panic.

"Cheat corpse!"

"The corpse moved, moved! The corpse changed!"

"Dao, Daoist, help!"

Chaos, everything started to mess up.

Zhao Pingfa's relatives in the coffin shop fled desperately, looking terrified. Only Mrs. Zhao did not escape. She curled up shivering with a pair of children in her arms, covered their eyes, and sadly called her husband's name over and over again.

And the other unsuspecting people who had been watching the bustle outside the coffin shop were also frightened and scattered at this time. There was a chaotic mess outside the coffin shop, you squeezed me, I squeezed you, everyone wanted to flee desperately.

Jin An was brought back to reality by the sound of panic. He looked into the coffin and saw the rain-drenched corpse in the coffin, lying peacefully all the time, showing no signs of fraud.

Boom!
That hollowness was abnormal, and it came again, and this time Jin An finally heard it clearly, the voice was indeed coming from the coffin.

Boom!
Boom!
The voice in the coffin became more and more urgent.

"Is this Zhao Pingfa's corpse really going to be a fraud? Hey, old man, this is the first time I've seen a dead person rise up in broad daylight!"

The old Taoist shivered in fright.

"Difficult, could it be that... after a person dies, the sub-gu in the human body has not yet died? Be careful, little brother, let's stay away from the corpse first, Mr. Lin, let's quickly take the coffin lid and seal the corpse first, don't let that Zi Gu will run out and kill people again!"

The old Taoist said anxiously that he would work with the coffin shop owner to seal the corpse first.

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

It's okay if Jin An doesn't say that, the person didn't move?Is the coffin actually moving?These words are scarier than bumping into an evil corpse in broad daylight, which makes people feel creepy in broad daylight.

Before the old Taoist could speak, someone strode faster, reached into the coffin, and opened Zhao Pingfa's body without fear.

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

Unexpectedly, there was nothing under the mat, only water stains soaked by rain, and those water stains penetrated the mat, and then penetrated all the way to the coffin board under the mat, and then penetrated from under the coffin board where the dead man was lying on to the bottom mezzanine .

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

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

Nothing unusual.

Boom!
But the abnormality in the coffin continued. This time through the corpse that Jin An had turned over, they finally heard where the abnormal noise came from. It came from under the interlayer of the coffin that was nailed to death by several flat boards.

"It turned out that we had a false alarm. It should be that after the coffin was soaked by rain, some rainwater dripped down the interlayer under the coffin boards along the gap."

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

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

As a result, an even more astonishing scene that no one expected appeared!
Surprised everyone present!
"Mother, why is there a hand that can jump in broad daylight hidden under the coffin boards that have been nailed to death! Little brother, you really hit the spot, this coffin is alive!"

The exclamation of the old Taoist priest sounded in the coffin shop!
