Holy Bone

Chapter 690
Regarding the practice of opening the altar and the process of saving the dead, the old Taoist priests are the most familiar.

Although doing things is just a temporary idea.

But the old Taoist is still serious about the whole process.

The Tian family has ready-made items such as desks, incense candles, and paper money.

As for the standard magic tools for opening the altar, such as the summoning bell, the gossip mirror, the command flag, the token, and the five emperors' copper coins, he always has them in his Tai Chi gossip bag like a treasure bag.

Speaking of Taoist practices, there are yang and yin rituals.

Yangshi is a ceremony for the living to eliminate disasters and difficulties, pray for blessings and prolong life.

The Yin thing is the ritual of saving the dead, communicating with the ghosts, breaking away from heaven and earth, ascending to the fairy world, and letting the dead rest in peace, and then going to the haunted haunted house to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.

Next, the old Taoist priest took Jin'an and began to set up altars in the mourning hall to practice rituals, burning paper, lighting lamps, building the Naihe Bridge with red strings, opening the Yin and Yang Road with copper coins, inserting three sticks of incense into raw rice to pay homage to the dead, drawing ghost coins on the spot and using Tai Chi The seal of Lord Yama in the gossip bag can be used as currency in the underworld if the seal is stamped on it. This money is not for the dead, but for the tea money offered to the bull head and horse noodles and the money for buying roads to buy off the ghosts in the underworld. Twisting the devil...

Then step on the foot.

Recite the "Saving People" by mouth.

After finishing this set of Buddhist rituals, even though it is cloudy in March, the old Taoist is still sweating from exhaustion.

"Open the coffin! Encoffin! Come here, little brother!" The old Taoist shouted majesticly, scaring the Tian family for a moment, and no one dared to step forward to stop Jin'an.

The old Taoist priest and Jin An have lived for so long, and the two have already cooperated tacitly. Although they are not father and son, they are better than the tacit understanding between father and son. So I asked Jin'an to help with the corpse
The so-called mortuary is to put the dead into a coffin.

According to different local customs, the encoffining time is also different. In some places, people are encoffined three days, five days after death, or after the first seven days. In some places, they are encoffined the day before the funeral.

Generally speaking, the climate is dry and the corpses are not easy to perish in the Northland or the Great Northwest region, so it is encoffined the day before the funeral.

In areas with hot and humid climates, such as the south or southwest, the encoffining time is relatively early. The purpose is to prevent maggots, corpse water and corpse odor from overflowing, attracting flies and centipedes and other poisonous insects to attack the children and grandchildren.

Anyway, there are customs in various places. In fact, behind every custom is closely related to the local climate. Behind the seemingly superstitious superstitions are rigorous summaries of previous experience.

These are all small details. After Jin An received the signal from the old Taoist priest, he first walked to the corpse of Tian Mangui's youngest son, wrapped in a white cloth, and the moment he picked up the corpse, Jin An showed surprise. .

Jin An calmly picked up the corpse under the white cloth, and carefully put it into the coffin. The moment he removed the white cloth, a mutilated corpse was revealed!

Two-thirds of the child's body was eaten by a mad dog, leaving only a head, an arm, two soles, and a few pieces of meat on the back of the stomach... The head was gnawed by the dog's canines to a bloody mess, and the facial features could no longer be seen , the child died miserably.

In comparison, Tian Mangui's mother's body was better, but one of her palms and neck was also bitten off, and now it has been sewn up with needles and threads.

Um?Jin An felt that the weight of the corpse was obviously wrong. His eyes moved, and it was estimated that the old woman's stomach was bitten through by a vicious dog. The intestines and viscera inside were all eaten away. The family members stuffed the stomach again with hay.

The reason why it is speculated that the stomach of the deceased was stuffed with hay is because the stomach of the old woman was not obviously deflated.

When putting in the corpse, Jin An quietly pressed the old woman's belly through the clothes, and sure enough, the old woman's belly was empty, like pressing cotton wool, without any sense of muscle firmness.

Hey.

Jin An stared at the corpses of the old woman and the child with unbearable eyes, and said to each of them: "Supreme Taiyi saves Ku Tianzun."

When everything was done, it was almost dark, and the Tian family were not ungrateful people. Seeing that the old Taoist priest and Jin An had worked hard all day, they politely asked them to have dinner before leaving.

The old Taoist saw Jin An's thoughts and did not refuse, agreeing to stay for dinner.

On the dinner table, there were all vegetarian dishes and no meat dishes. Tian Mangui explained that his mother was reluctant to kill and had always been a vegetarian. These days they kept their filial piety, so they were also vegetarians. I hope you understand.

The atmosphere of this meal was a bit dull. After all, the deceased had just passed away and had not yet rested. No one could be happy. After eating and saying goodbye, when he walked to the yard and passed the beaten vicious dog, Jin An suddenly asked One sentence: "Can you tell me how the vicious dog hurts people?"

Tian Mangui recalled the painful memory of that day, with an extremely painful expression on his face, both remorse and self-blame.

The Tian family has a small amount of property in the local area and opened a small restaurant. Although they can't be rich, they are more well-fed than ordinary people.Because he was busy with business, he neglected his youngest son, so he bought a puppy as a playmate for his youngest son, and they lived in peace for two years.

The accident happened the day before yesterday.

Tian Mangui and his wife, who were running a business in a restaurant, suddenly received bad news. There was an accident at home, and both their mother and son died!The couple left their business and hurried home. When they saw the tragic death of their mother and young son, they were devastated. They cried desperately holding the body of their mother whose head had been eaten by dogs and her stomach and neck had been bitten off.

Recalling yesterday's scene, the seven-foot man cried with grief and choked up.

The relatives in the yard who came to help also wiped their tears with their sleeves, and sympathized with what happened to Tian Mangui. Even a man of iron can't stand such a ruined family.

At this time, Tian Shi, who was following Tian Mangui, blamed himself with red eyes: "It's all my fault. If I had stayed at home to take care of the elderly and children that day, such a tragedy would not have happened! Blame me! Blame me I'm sorry for being in charge, I'm useless, I can't help with business, and I can't even take care of my family!"

Tian cried with tears streaming down her face, blaming herself for beating herself, but was stopped by Tian Mangui: "Nonsense! What are you doing!"

"I, Tian Mangui, can marry a good wife like you who regards Huer as her own, helps me take care of my poor health, and comes to the restaurant from time to time to help me take care of the business. For several years, she has helped me without complaint. It's my Tian Mangui's blessing, why are you to blame for this!"

Thinking of the tragic death of his mother and son, Tian Mangui slapped himself severely: "It's all my fault. I took business too seriously and neglected to take care of the family! The son wants to raise but the relative is not here. Mother, Hu'er, I was wrong , I hope that all this is a nightmare and I can wake up as soon as possible! I beg you to give me another chance to be by your side!"

Hearing Tian Mangui cry so sadly, everyone couldn't help crying again. A relative came to enlighten Tian Mangui and his wife, saying that it was an accident and no one expected it.

The soft-hearted, sentimental old Taoist priest was also moved by the scene in front of him, so he picked up his sleeve and wiped the corner of his eyes.

"Treat yourself?" Jin An looked at Tian Mangui suspiciously.

It turns out that the current Tian family is not Tian Mangui's original spouse, but a broken string and then a new string. Hu'er was born to Tian Mangui and his deceased wife, and Hu'er's mother died of dystocia during childbirth.In order to let the child have a mother and a complete family, Tian Mangui was introduced by a matchmaker to marry the current Tian family last year.

Jin An nodded knowingly, and looked at the cannibal dog who was beaten to death by the Tian family again: "That is to say, there were no witnesses to how the vicious dog hurt people the day before yesterday?"

A young man stood up in the yard. He was the son of Zhang Aie's younger brother and Zhang Aie's nephew. That day he brought his family to give the sweet cake that the eldest aunt loved the most. As soon as he opened the courtyard door, he smelled a strong smell of blood. , he saw the dog raised by Tian Mangui ran into the room and ate the adults and children who were taking a nap.

This person was the one who stopped Jin An at the gate of the yard at the beginning.

Jin An came to the vicious dog and squatted down, as if he was looking for something. The old Taoist priest who knew Jin An best knew that Jin An must have discovered something, so he came over and asked, "What's wrong, little brother, do you see something? ?”

Jin An didn't answer right away, but pointed to the vicious dog on the ground with more air and less air, and asked the old Taoist: "Old Taoist, do you see any difference between this domestic dog and other domestic dogs?"

Hearing Jin'an's words, Tian Mangui's other family members also gathered around curiously to look at the vicious dog.

When everyone gathered around the vicious dog, no one noticed the unnatural expression on Tian's face.

The old Taoist also followed Jin An's example and squatted down, carefully looking at the vicious dog in the pool of blood in the yard. After looking at it for a long time, he hesitated and said, "It seems to be a little different, but I can't tell what the difference is..."

"Its eyes are much fiercer than the rhubarb I keep at home, and fiercer than wild dogs. In order to catch it, I even broke several poles. In the end, I caught it with a fishing net to subdue this mad dog! "The speaker is Zhang Aie's nephew.

The old Taoist slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized: "Yes, it's fierce! I finally see what's wrong, little brother, the eyes of this man-eating vicious dog are as crazy and vicious as those gambling dogs in the gambling stalls." !"

Jin An frowned: "It's not just the eyes that are fierce."

"Look at this vicious dog. Its tail is drooping like a wolf's, its ears are erect, its eyes are fierce, its skull and canine teeth are a circle larger than that of ordinary domestic dogs. This vicious dog has gradually developed wolfishness. It can only be fed with raw meat every day to deliberately tame wolves. This kind of change can only be achieved through the wildness of nature.”

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar, and everyone said that Tian Mangui bought this dog as a playmate for children. It is impossible for someone to feed the dog with raw meat, because everyone knows that this kind of dog is most likely to go crazy and hurt people.

Jin An stood up and looked at Tian Mangui: "What do you usually feed this dog?"

Tian Mangui was stunned for a moment: "When I'm at home, I always feed leftovers. People can feed whatever is left over, but they will never feed raw meat!"

Tian Mangui finally spoke with certainty.

Jin An asked again: "Aside from you, who else is responsible for feeding the dogs?"

Tian Mangui's complexion changed. He is not a fool. After being asked by Jin An, he already had doubts, and frowned: "My mother is old and in poor health, so she can't take care of the dog. The young son is still young and can't enter the kitchen to feed the dog. Serving the rice bowl. And I am usually busy with business, so most of the time it is Yuhong who takes care of the dogs."

Yuhong is Tian Mangui's wife.

"This..." The people in the yard couldn't make up their minds.

"Yuhong, tell me how you take care of the dog on weekdays." Everyone looked at Tian.

Tian's complexion was pale, with more and more panic on his face, and he explained nervously: "That's right, just like what the master said...whatever we eat, the dog eats too... just feed us the leftovers we usually eat... ..."

The expression on Tian's face was too tense and flustered, and everyone became more and more suspicious. Someone suggested to find someone who specializes in domesticating gambling dogs to come and take a look, and you can see what Tian Mangui's dog has grown up on. As Jin An said, the dog that Tian Mangui bought to be his son's playmate was fed with raw meat from a young age, so that he could develop the wildness and ferocity of a wolf.

"Can that dog be trained to kill?" Tian Mangui, who had already made a guess, suppressed his anger at this moment and asked the invited dog trainer.

The betting dog trainer hesitated for a while, but didn't dare to say.

"Of course you can. For example, feeding raw meat from childhood is one of the ways." Jin An answered firmly.

Tian Mangui looked at Jin'an with red eyes because of excessive grief: "I also hope that Taoist Jin'an will enlighten me. If you want to train a domestic dog to kill people, it shouldn't just be fed raw meat from a young age, right?"

Jin'an: "Actually, it's not difficult to say, as long as the dog is hungry every day, and then wraps the raw meat in clothes, the dog's sense of smell is very good, which is 100 million times better than that of humans, and it can smell many smells that humans can't smell. .So as long as the dog is trained over and over again, let its brain develop memory, as long as it is hungry, it can find meat to eat when it is hungry, and when it is hungry next time, it will naturally look for the smell to find food."

The betting dog trainer looked at Jin An in surprise: "This Taoist priest has also trained dogs and knows so many habits of dogs? Yes, theoretically speaking, this is indeed a feasible method. But we are betting on dogs. Making money by sharing is not a murderer, so although this matter has been heard a little in the industry, no one has ever tried it.”

Tian Mangui looked angrily at his continuation wife: "What a poisonous woman! You still don't admit it!"

Tian's face turned pale with fright. She refused to admit it after beating her to death. , Tian cried miserably, as if he had really suffered a great injustice.

But when Jin An took people out of her room to find half a box full of shredded clothes, her sophistry became powerless. Those clothes were children's clothes when they were alive. It is the evidence that she used clothes to train vicious dogs to kill.

When the truth came out, Tian Mangui's relatives were furious and wanted to beat the poisonous stepmother to death on the spot. If Jin'an and the old Taoist hadn't tried their best to protect Tian, ​​she would have been beaten to death in public by the angry and irrational crowd, but Tian remained the same. He was screamed again and again by some punches and kicks that "leaked in on purpose".

"Daoist Jin'an, why do you still protect this vicious woman!" Everyone was angry and red-eyed.

Jin An said solemnly: "Killing people to pay their lives and debts has been justified since ancient times. I didn't stop everyone in order to protect the murderer. Since she killed someone, she should be handed over to the government for trial. Only when the government makes a final decision can the whole world know that the world is still alive. There is such a poisonous woman who devours sons, which serves as a warning, so that future generations will beware of similar dog training murders."

After persuasion by Jin An and the old Taoist priest, the angry Tian Mangui gradually calmed down, and the Tian family reported to the officials to call in the yamen servants and tortured Tian away.

The truth of the case soon came to light, and the case was not complicated. Jiang Yuhong coveted Tian Mangui's family property, so she always regarded the son born to Tian Mangui and his deceased wife as a thorn in her side. She believed that only the child born to her and Tian Mangui could inherit the Tian family business. .So while portraying herself as a good wife and loving mother, hard-working and virtuous, she secretly used raw meat and clothes to train the pet dog Tian Mangui bought for her young son as her killing tool.

The purpose of all this is to not only want fame but also want to take away Tian Mangui's family wealth.

In the final analysis, it is a word of profit that blackens people's hearts.

It is precisely because of the gentle and virtuous image she has painstakingly cultivated in the past few years, and because she deliberately went to the store to help Tian Mangui take care of the business that day, no one would associate the gentle and virtuous Jiang Yuhong with a poisonous woman and murderer. Even Tian Mangui, the husband, did not suspect Jiang Yuhong. Instead, he blamed himself all day long for killing his mother and son.

It is said that people's hearts are separated from their belly.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

People in the world can't escape running around for profit.

In this murder case, the most innocent person is the old lady who is eager to save her grandson and protects her grandson with her body. Even after passing away, the old lady still misses her son and daughter-in-law. This is the maternal love that every mother can do;

Tian Mangui's son is also the most innocent, he is still young, and he does not understand the intrigue of adults, so he has become a victim of the interests of adults at such a young age;

Perhaps the family dog ​​that Tian Mangui bought for his son was also very innocent. It was originally a playmate Tian Mangui gave to his son, but was domesticated as a tool for killing people. If he hadn’t met a poisonous woman like Jiang Yuhong, he would have been with him carefree all the time. By the little master's side, watching the little master grow up...

There is humanity among beasts, and the different shapes are separated by humans.There is an animal heart among people, how many people can really know it!The ancients were shaped like beasts, and they all had great virtues.Today, people look like people, but the hearts of animals are predictable!Although laughing may not be harmonious, although crying may not be related.Face-to-face oral sex, thorns grow in the stomach!

Choosing someone is very important.
