Holy Bone

Chapter 564

Jin An's eyes flickered, and he led the red umbrella girl Zhizharen and A Ping into the cellar of the ancestral hall again.

He had discovered long ago that the underground was extending in all directions, and perhaps the disappeared Chen family had hidden in these tunnels.

The underground passage is narrow, which is not conducive to the flexible movement of Fifteen's body. Jin'an keeps Fifteen on the ground and is responsible for protecting the safety of the seventeen human bone lanterns.

There are four passages under the cellar, each in the four corners of the southeast, north, and west. At this time, the great gray fairy with a sharp nose came in handy again.

The group, who was simmering with anger, walked into one of the passages without any delay on the road.

This underground passage is the same as the ground, and there is no way to bring in lighting objects. The few people walked all the way in the dark.

The tunnel is darker and gloomy than the environment on the ground, and it also has the strange smell of corpses that have been burning for years and the feeling of suffocation and lack of oxygen that the underground air does not circulate. In short, the experience is not pleasant.

This darkness has little effect on the red-clothed umbrella girl Zhizharen and A Ping. After Jin An presses his tongue on the dark side of the Five Emperors copper coin and opens his yin and yang eyes, his eyesight can adapt to the dark environment a little bit. It is the thin air that makes Jin An Had to reduce the breathing rate to maintain enough physical strength.

However, the consequence of this is that people are very prone to sleepiness and drowsiness in an oxygen-deficient environment.

Jin An felt his head getting heavier and heavier as he walked, and his eyelids became heavy like lead. He tried to cheer up several times, but soon fell asleep again. I don't know if it's because the underground space is narrow and the air is thin, or because the tunnel itself is different. unusual.

Just when Jin An's eyelids became heavy and he was drowsy, a woman's cry suddenly came from his ear, Jin An was alert and suddenly woke up.

"The cry seems to be coming from behind the front corner?" Jin An, who had the Five Emperors' copper coin under his tongue, said inconveniently, and his articulation was a little fuzzy.

As a result, when he turned his head, he found that Zhizharen and Aping, the umbrella girl in red who had been walking with him, were not by his side.

There was nothing around him, and there was no one around.

He even shouted a few times, but no one responded, only the crying of the woman in front of the tunnel was still crying.

Jin An approached cautiously, turned the corner, and saw the injured girl in red was crying against the wall, and A Ping's black-backed iron knife was still falling on the ground.

"Daoist Jin'an saved me, Ah Ping suddenly went crazy and wanted to kill me, and what fell on the ground was the weapon he used to hurt me..."

puff!
Before the red-clothed umbrella girl stabbed someone for help, Jin An picked up the black-backed iron knife on the ground. The blood-stained sharp cold knife moved crisply and sharply without any hesitation. The light of the knife split the air. .

fast.

quasi.

ruthless.

The thick kitchen knife wiped a thin red line on the neck of the girl in red, which was pierced with paper. The red line gradually expanded, and a beautiful woman's head fell backwards and fell to the ground with a bang.

"You dare to play an ax in front of me with this little trick, and you have to pretend to be a girl in red." Jin An threw away the iron knife in his hand and snorted coldly.

The illusion disappeared, and there was a headless corpse and an iron knife on the ground. The headless corpse sat against the wall, and the wall behind it was stained with blood. There was blood from his life and black corpse blood sprayed out after his head was cut off. .

Spread a large black, black, red and red patch on the wall, which is really disgusting and stench.

However, this headless corpse is not a paper-stitched man, but a young son of the Chen family wearing the costumes of the Chen family, and the head that fell to the side is very familiar to Jin An. It is one of the young children who stayed in the ancestral hall not long ago. one person.The man's fatal wound was a penetrating wound to the chest, his heart was lost, and he bled to death.

In fact, the red-clothed umbrella girl Zhizharen and Aping were still standing with Jin'an at this time, and they hadn't lost their way. It was just an illusion.

At this time, A Ping looked at Jin An strangely: "Master Jin An, did you just see the girl in red in the hallucination you saw when you were blinded by a ghost?"

After finishing speaking, A Ping looked at Jin'an again with a strange look: "Master Jin'an, you raised and lowered the knife with your hand, fast, accurate, and ruthless, without messing around at all. If you say chop, you can chop the girl in red. It's true." Without any hesitation, it’s a good thing that you did not kill the wrong person, Daoist Jin’an, otherwise you would have turned into a girl in red and lay down without a head... Daoist Jin’an, you didn’t use Baijiayi to invite the upper body of the god, how did you see through it so quickly? hallucinatory?"

It’s okay if Ah Ping doesn’t say that, the girl in the red umbrella who had been observing the dead bodies of the Chen family on the ground turned around with a pair of beautiful eyes and looked straight at Jin An. Jin An laughed, and then talked about the experience just now.

But it was obvious that the red-clothed umbrella girl was different from ordinary women. She was smart and intelligent and not easy to fool. She still looked at Jin'an calmly with her eyes.

Jin An coughed dryly, and seemed to be explaining to A Ping in a serious manner, but in fact he secretly said to someone beside him: "Good-looking skins are all the same, but in this world, there is a beauty inside, abandoned dust and refined like a Kunlun fairy, a red-clothed man with both talents and love There is only one girl! Not to mention that the man is so amazing when he sees it, and Sanyue doesn’t know the taste of meat, even the goddess will feel inferior when he sees it. The humiliation! How can I tolerate such a young girl tarnishing the Kunlun fairy-like image of the girl in red in my heart, and I am sworn to death!"

squeak!
Such blatant and disgusting words, even Hui Daxian, a little animal, could get goosebumps, and ran into the back basket to continue to accompany the little girl. Human beings are too complicated, and the two little ones are the simplest and purest.

A Ping looked at Jin An in shock.

He must have this eloquence.

Can bring the dead back to life.

Why worry that the steamed stuffed bun shop run by the couple will be out of business!

Next, Jin An staggered the topic and began to ask himself what happened just now.Actually, the whole thing is not complicated.Shortly after the three of them descended into the tunnel, they found the corpse of the Chen family in front of them. Of course, the corpse had not been decapitated by Jin An at that time. Jin An suddenly cut off the head of the corpse with a knife in his hand, and finally mentioned the girl in red in a disdainful tone...

cough cough.

Jin An squatted down in the name of the autopsy, and just exposed this topic.

"The man's fatal wound was a penetrating wound on his chest. Judging from the traces of the wound, it was penetrated through his chest by a human hand with great force."

"Even because of the huge difference in strength between the two, he didn't even have a chance to resist, because there were no traces of fighting in the aisle."

"Not long after I entered the tunnel just now, I felt drowsy and mentally exhausted, and then I had hallucinations. It should be related to inhaling the corpse poison from too many corpses in a closed and narrow space. Because the girl in red and Ah Ping does not need to breathe air and is immune to corpse gas, so it will not be affected."

Seeing that no real and useful clues could be found from the corpse, the three continued to move forward.

After the incident just now, Jin An was sober all the way, no longer sleepy, and walked for a while, and they walked into a dead end.

Jin An trusted Hui Daxian's nose very much, and believed that Hui Daxian would not smell wrong. Since he directed them to come here, it must mean that there is something wrong here.

In the end, Jin An discovered the abnormality. He faintly smelled the unique smell of pickled bamboo shoots in the tunnel. Although the smell was very slight, he did smell it. After he asked Aping to use a knife to split the earth wall in front of him, he found that the wall There is a mezzanine at the back.

Behind the earth wall is a cellar where many fruits, vegetables and smoked meat are placed. However, these stored foods have been rotten, and the surface is covered with thick dust, which shows that no one has touched these things for a long time, and the sour smell from before The smell of bamboo shoots leaked from one of the clay pots.

There was a wooden ladder in the cellar that led all the way to the ground above their heads. Just when the three of them were about to walk up to the ladder, huh?Surprised, they found that there were some footprints that had just been left in the ground, leading to the direction of the ladder.

Jin An was overjoyed: "Great Hui has made another great contribution."

When the three of them came back to the ground, they found that it was a dark room without moonlight and candlelight. As soon as they came out, the three of them all smelled the smell of blood.

There were two people lying motionless in a pool of blood on the ground. When I got closer, I found that they were the two veterans of Xiaoshizhuang who had left the backyard at the beginning. Not long to die.

One of the corpses was still very familiar to Jin An. It was the fat old man Sikelti who always had a smile on his face and forced them to eat camel meat when he was laughing at the corpse farm.

Seeing how hard it took several generations of people to find the Kingdom of the Undead God after all kinds of dangers, and finally died so quietly and tragically in an unknown corner, Jin An suddenly felt a little bit sad, but it wasn't that he felt pity for these veterans of the Laughing Corpse Village. It's a little lamenting that life and death are impermanent.

Suddenly!

The amulet Jin An wore on his chest felt faintly hot!

Just at this moment, Ah Ping said vigilantly: "There are other people here! Be careful!"

The Yin Qi did not come from the two dead bodies on the ground, but from this room.

In the end, it was the red-clothed umbrella woman who was sensitive to Yin Qi, and found the source of Yin Qi. The Yin Qi came from a human bone mirror hanging on the wall behind the curtain. The surface was engraved with,,,,,,, Sutra hexagram map.

And in front of the human bone mirror in the round sky, there is a large group of people kneeling down. These people are motionless, like very devout believers.Although they could only see their backs, but not their faces, the three of them recognized at a glance that these people were the missing clan chief, elder Zong, old man of the concierge and other members of the Chen clan through their costumes and figures.

Obviously heard the movement behind them, but these people still bowed to the human bone mirror in the sky, as if they didn't hear it, and they seemed to have died?Keeping the posture of Natou prostrating all the time, in this dark room where people can't see their fingers, the atmosphere is indescribably weird.

The moment he saw the Human Bone Realm, Jin An frowned, the Human Bone Mirror, the Human Bone Lantern, even the most stupid people could think of the connection between the two at this moment.

It seems that the prosperity of several generations of the Chen family is related to the chance to get this human bone mirror, and the Chen family originally wanted to build the Eight Diagrams Tower, and it was also built for the human bone environment engraved with the eight classics and hexagrams. Breed this mirror with Feng Shui treasure land, and refine it to produce more powerful magical powers.

It's just that this human bone mirror is against the harmony of heaven, and even God can't stand it. Fengshui treasure land has become a fierce cave where yin and yang clash, dragons fight and tigers fight, and it collapses every time it is built.

From the moment he saw this human bone mirror, Jin An thought a lot, and even guessed... Find a treasured place of geomantic omen, build a Bagua building, absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding world, gather the innate and acquired spirits in one body, and use this to leap into a yin god and improve his Taoism. , maybe it wasn't the Chen clan's idea, but this evil magic weapon already had a sense of autonomy!Understand self-cultivation!

Because he remembered that in the "Guangping You Shuo Tong Gan Lu" written by Guangping Sanren, Guangping Sanren once encountered a strange case among the people. A corrupt official abandoned the court in order to pursue a high official career and get rich. Regardless of the outline, invite a wild god to live in your home.

The wild god didn't ask for anything at the beginning, but just a few sticks of incense every day to satisfy the corrupt official's wish. After a while, the corrupt official found that everything went well for him, and he solved several murder cases in a row. Appreciated by the superiors, the official career has a bright future.

But just when his colleagues felt that this person had a bright career, the corrupt official suddenly died in the yamen strangely, and even his work could not find out the cause of his death.If the cause of death cannot be ascertained, documents cannot be issued, and the body has been placed in the mourning hall and cannot be buried.

Seeing that the first seven days have passed, the corpse is decomposing and emitting a stench. The official's house is full of smoke, the guests and relatives have fled, and the corpse is rotting in the coffin, but no one is guarding the mourning hall.

Naturally, the yamen can't just sit back and ignore this matter. They dispatched several officials one after another, but they still couldn't find out the specific cause of death... Until that day, the scattered people in Guangping passed by here and heard about this bizarre murder case, so they went to the official's house out of curiosity. The evil god that officials invited into the house was at work.

The evil god did not ask for anything at the beginning, but as it satisfied more and more demands from corrupt officials, and saw that the desires of corrupt officials expanded day by day, it became dissatisfied with only seeking incense and love, and began to eat the flesh and blood of animals and raw people. Flesh and blood, eating the flesh and blood of children, the desire of this evil god is as inflated as the desire of the corrupt official. The ancestors always said that people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and even this evil god is the same. Corrupt officials write invitations and steal official seals, hoping to invite it to live in the yamen in a fair and honest way, and attract a century of luck.

As a result, seeing the "Mirror Hanging High" plaque in the lobby of the yamen, the evil spirit immediately revealed its true form, and the corrupt officials and the evil spirit disappeared together. That's why Wu's autopsy couldn't find out the cause of death anyway.

The mirror hanging high in the lobby of the yamen has a profound meaning since ancient times. It can be discerned clearly, distinguish right from wrong, and illuminate people's hearts. Behind the four characters "Mirror High Hanging", there are also other four characters "Heaven and Earth".

The reason why Jin An thinks of "Guangping Youshuotongganlu" at this time is because he feels that the human bone mirror in front of him is the same as the evil god in the story. In hell, it is against the harmony of heaven, and in the end it is a vain attempt to peek into the mysteries of heaven and earth, in order to improve in Taoism.
