Holy Bone

Chapter 44
Feng Zhaotou met Jin An and the old Taoist priest.

Straight to the point to explain the purpose:
Zheng Zhaotou has been transferred by the magistrate Zhang to the Wenwu Temple as an escort!

Now is the time to investigate the cause of Li Dashan's death!

The old Taoist asked Feng Chutou to wait for him, and he went into the room to get the dinner guy, and then came out again.

Jin An saw that the old Taoist was so dawdling, so he asked what the old Taoist brought for dinner?
The old Taoist smiled, he lightly patted his baby with a bit of contentment, and then said: "The Eight Trigrams Mirror in the Palm, the Soul Calling Bell, the Binding Cord, the Evil Suppressing Talisman, the Ancestral Yin-Yang Compass, the Seal of the Lord of Hell... "

"And some cinnabar, brushes, ink lines, glutinous rice, detoxification pills, etc."

"There are also incense paper money and a handful of dead people's meals to burn for the dead."

Jin An was slightly surprised.

Even Feng Zhaotou looked surprised, looking at the Tai Chi Bagua shackle that the old Taoist was carrying on his shoulders.

"Chen Daochang, this seemingly small Tai Chi gossip jacket, is really a treasure bag."

Feng Zhaotou said in surprise.

The old Taoist smiled shyly, and people almost became swayed. The more middle-aged people are, the more incapable they are, the more they like others to give a thumbs up and praise: "You are awesome!

After Feng Zhaotou finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chen Daochang carries something to exorcise evil spirits, which is easy to understand."

"Why do you carry detox pills with you? And a handful of dead people's meals?"

"What is the meal of the dead?"

The three of them talked while walking along the way under the dark night.

At this time, the pedestrians on the street have gradually dwindled.

The old Taoist had an unpredictable face, like the mysterious face of a gangster in the rivers and lakes. Feng Zhaotou, who ranked first in force among the three major arresting heads in Changxian County, was stunned for a while, and he believed it completely. The words of the old priest.

The old Taoist said proudly: "Old Taoist, I am a wandering Taoist. Occasionally, I will encounter some moving graves, opening coffins, going deep into the mountains and rivers, feng shui, and setting the yin house, etc. These places are often the most likely to encounter poisonous miasma and corpse gas, so It is necessary to always keep some detoxification pills that can remove poison and avoid poisonous miasma with you.”

"Furthermore, the dead man's meal is not cooked rice for the living."

"Chang County is located in the south. In the gossip, the south is Li, and the south belongs to the fire of Bingding. It is guarded by the Suzaku. The Suzaku is a divine bird with strong yang energy, so the cooked rice cooked by this fire cannot be eaten by the dead."

The old Taoist shook his head and said, reached into the shackle hanging on his shoulders, and took out a handful of raw rice.

The particles are crystal clear and full.

The old Taoist continued to say: "And the raw rice in my hand is the meal of the dead. After the dead have eaten it, it is a waste anyway, so it is better to make it cheap. Of course, this Raw rice can't be cooked, it's not for the living."

"Old Daoist, this is just one of the dead people's meals. The most important thing is that it is easy to carry. There is also a kind of dead people's meal, which is upside-down rice."

"There are often elderly people who sternly scolded ignorant children, don't eat the rice in the bowl upside down, because this is called the inversion of yin and yang. This is similar to the saying that when you bend over to look behind your crotch in the middle of the night, maybe there will be more feet. It all comes from the inversion of yin and yang."

"This meal of the dead is mainly used to negotiate with the dead, and I hope to leave the Yangzhai voluntarily."

……

"Truly!—"

"Truly!—"

"At one or two o'clock in the morning, the sky is dry and things are dry, so be careful with the candles."

"clang--"

The three of them walked in the already dark Changxian County, and the watchman made the sound of a watch. It turned out that while they were walking and talking, it was the curfew time of one watch and three o'clock.

"Hey, who are you?"

"Why is the curfew still walking on the streets?"

The two watchmen were watching, and just after passing a corner, they saw the end of the dark street corner, but three people were still walking on the street during the curfew, and immediately yelled nervously and loudly.

After the three of them approached, the two watchmen could see clearly that the person walking at the front was Feng Caotou, one of the three most powerful and powerful catchers in Changxian County.

Taking a closer look, they also saw Young Master Jin An, who is now famous in Chang County.

"It turned out to be Feng Zhaotou."

"Feng Zhaotou is so late, but are you still investigating the case?"

The two watchmen asked cautiously.

Feng Zhaotou explained a few words casually, and the two watchmen hurriedly made way for Feng Zhaotou and his group to pass.

Changxian Prison is not far from the Yamen.

As he got closer to the prison, the number of night patrols he encountered along the way became more and more frequent.

Perhaps because the temple fair is coming, Changxian County has been mixed recently, so the law and order at night has also tightened a lot.

……

With Feng Zhaotou leading the way, the group went unimpeded, and descended to the prison where the environment was dark and damp, with torches burning on both sides of the aisle.

In a quiet night, there are still people entering the prison, and the movement in the prison is naturally not small.

In the cells on both sides of the aisle, prisoners in prison uniforms stretched out their arms, crying and begging to let them out, screaming in horror that there was something unclean in the prison!
These prisoners were disheveled, in a trance, and their blood was not smooth. At first glance, it was obvious that they had been frightened for a long time, did not sleep well, and had some mental problems.

"No matter how noisy or noisy, just be honest with me."

"I didn't see our Lord Feng Zhaotou, did you specially invite a Taoist priest today? Feng Zhaotou and this Taoist priest made a special trip to exorcise your evil spirits."

There were prison guards who were busy flattering, vying to perform in front of Feng Zhaotou, and smashed the arms that were sticking out of the cell with the waist knife in the scabbard.

"Feng Zhaotou, our brothers are really wronged. We really don't know about Li Dashan's death, nor is it the Li Dashan who we killed. I beg Feng Zhaotou to help us ask for mercy from the magistrate Zhang, I am Sun Fuzhen. It's an injustice!"

"Feng Zhaotou, we are wronged!"

When I walked to one of the cells, the people in that cell were not like other prisoners, shouting that the prison was going to be evil and wanted to change places... but instead they were shouting wronged?

Jin An and the old Taoist couldn't help but glance at the cell.

Feng Zhaotou, who was leading the way, seemed to see the doubts and curiosity of the two, and explained: "These people are the group of prison guards who were on duty in the cell on the day when Li Dashan died in the cell, and a cell head. ."

"The death of Li Dashan caused Magistrate Zhang to be furious, and it has not yet subsided. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that they also participated in the killing of Li Dashan, no one dared to release these people without Magistrate Zhang personally, so they have been locked up. up to now."

In the prison with a bad smell, the group quickly came to the deepest part of the prison, the cell where Li Dashan died violently.

"This Li Dashan has been dead for so many days, what about his current body?"

At the door of the cell, the old Taoist suddenly asked.

Feng Zhaotou was stunned for a moment, but he responded quickly: "Because the weather is gradually getting warmer, it is not easy to store the body. When Zheng Zhaotou said that he had solved the case and killed all of Li Dashan's accomplices, Li Dashan's body was burned."

"Burned?"

"Did Daochang Chen discover anything?" Feng Zutou's expression became solemn.
