Holy Bone

Chapter 713

"Daoist Jin'an, I have heard about my brother and the others!"

Shen Zhuxiao ran anxiously to find Jin'an.

A strange incident just happened in Fenghuang Town. A few days ago, a family surnamed Zheng got married. No one could have imagined that the bride devoured the groom alive during the wedding ceremony.

We usually use the term "eating alive" to describe the young couple, and everyone smiles tacitly, but "eating alive" here is not a metaphor, but a simple and straightforward literal meaning.

When the groom was found to have only one head left the next day, the two elders couldn't accept the fact that their son died tragically, and the happy event turned into a funeral overnight. The massacre.

The bride was dragged to the ancestral hall by the bridegroom's relatives and friends who heard the news, and the body was driven into five coffin nails, and finally filled in the dung pit. They said that it could exorcise evil spirits, because some relatives and friends suspected that the bride was an ugly man wearing human skin. Painted skin ghost, so the bride was skinned in front of the ancestors of the ancestral hall.

hiss!

Even the old Taoist took a deep breath: "The cruel method of skinning people can still be seen in folk lynchings. These townspeople are too indifferent, and they can still go about their business as usual, talking and laughing?"

Shen Zhuxiao sighed: "That's right, I also think this private execution is too much."

"Those townspeople said that the bride's death deserves more than guilt, and that it's only natural to kill someone to pay the debt and pay the money, because the relatives and friends of the groom's officials even cut open the bride's belly while peeling the skin, and they did find the groom's eaten flesh."

The family where the extermination case occurred was considered a wealthy family in Fenghuang Town. They ran a rice shop and a cloth shop, and the bride's natal family was also quite wealthy among the locals and had a tea house.

I don't know if these townspeople have a hatred of the rich, thinking that rich people deserve to die, so they behave so indifferently, as if they have nothing to do with themselves.

A group of people rushed to the groom's house with a lot of worries. The place was already covered with white silk and white lanterns. Many relatives and friends in mourning clothes were coming in and out to help the host's family with the funeral.

Jin An and the old Taoist originally thought that the meeting between the Shen brothers would be very complicated and they would have to go through a lot of hardships and twists and turns. As a result, Shen Zhuxiao's eldest brother and Mr. Liang were found here.

It's just that the situation is a bit complicated. When Brother Shen Zhuxiao and Mr. Liang saw Shen Zhuxiao, their expressions changed slightly. He didn't want Shen Zhuxiao to come to Fenghuang Town to find them.

"Big brother!"

"Mr. Liang!"

"Great, I finally found you, I was so worried about me on the way! It's great to see you all safe and sound, big brother!"

Shen Zhuxiao's shout of surprise startled the two people who were opening the altar for the three coffins in the mourning hall. When Shen Xianhai and Mr. Liang turned around and saw Shen Zhuxiao, their faces were not happy, but complicated.

Seeing a frizzy guy disturbing the mourning hall, the relatives and friends of the groom's officer glared angrily, and rolled up their sleeves to come up and beat him up.

If it weren't for the old Taoist priest, the old fritters of the rivers and lakes, to smooth things over, let alone Shen Zhuxiao, all his colleagues would be beaten along with him.

They retreated to a corner, intending to wait for the end of the practice before going to find the boss of the Shen family and Mr. Liang, but at this moment, Shen Zhuxiao screamed, pointing his finger in a direction in horror, a piece of human skin still stained with blood In front of the threshold of the mourning hall, it was trampled by thousands of people.

This human skin is the bride who devoured her husband-in-law alive on the wedding night!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we are ignorant, we will take him away right away, causing trouble for everyone and the deceased." The old Taoist pretended not to see the direction of Shen Zhuxiao's finger, pulled him up and walked out the door.

Those Jianghu warriors who were hired by Shen Zhu Xiaohua with a lot of money to be guards and thugs also saw that their legs were weak at this moment, their faces were pale, and they fled as if they were running for their lives.

After coming outside, the old Taoist let go of Shen Zhuxiao's hand, and cursed angrily: "Human life is ignored!"

Shen Zhuxiao grabbed the cuff aggrieved, his wrist was bruised by the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist kept suppressing his anger inside just now, and he didn't even realize that he scratched Shen Zhuxiao's wrist.

Since the days were short and the nights were long, the days passed quickly, and Jin An and the others waited until the sun set and it was dark before the boss of the Shen family and Mr. Liang came out.

The first words the two brothers said when they met were not caring greetings, but a reproach from the boss of the Shen family in a lowered voice: "Why did you come to us! You shouldn't have come here!"

"Brother, I..."

"I'm not worried about your safety..."

Shen Zhuxiao felt wronged.

Hey.

Mr. Liang sighed, then raised his hands to Jin An and the old Taoist priest: "I don't know what the two Taoist priests are called?"

After a brief introduction and a general explanation of the purpose of coming, Jin An asked curiously: "Mr. Liang, what is going on here? Judging from your expressions, it seems that you don't want us to come to Phoenix Town to find you?"

Mr. Liang is tall and thin, wearing a long gown, about 50 years old, he sighed again: "Have you ever heard of 'involuntary'?"

"Since the day we entered this Phoenix Town, we have been inseparable from Phoenix Town, including those townspeople and us outsiders. In order not to attract too much attention from those townspeople, we can only try our best to pretend that we have integrated into them. "

According to what Mr. Liang said, no matter how far he traveled during the day, he would automatically walk back to Fenghuang Town at night.

And being able to walk back to Phoenix Town in one piece is the best ending.

I was afraid that he would die for no reason before returning to Phoenix Town.

Mr. Liang and the others tried to leave Fenghuang Town several times, but they failed every time. Even the people who accompanied him died on the road. In the end, only the businessman was left with a flexible mind and the boss of the Shen family who followed Mr. Liang all the time. Hard to survive.

Hearing that only two of the dozen or so people who came to Fenghuang Town had died, those quack warriors hired by Shen Zhuxiao as personal bodyguards with a lot of money had a commotion and clamored to leave Fenghuang Town.

"To shut up!"

Seeing that the commotion made by these people had attracted the attention of the townspeople, Jin An stared coldly. These quacks trembled in fright, and subconsciously shut their mouths, just like lambs who had no courage to resist when they saw their natural enemy, a tiger.

How could these ordinary martial artists be able to withstand Jin An's aura.

At this time, a few relatives and friends of the deceased came out of the house, saying that the banquet was ready and it was time to start. These people saw that Jin An and the others knew Mr. Liang, and said politely: "It turned out that it was all a misunderstanding, and the few of you didn't collide on purpose. The mourning hall is all friends of Mr. Liang and Brother Shen. I'm sorry for what happened just now. The dead are the most important. I hope the priests can understand the grief of our relatives."

"Since they are all Mr. Liang's friends, let's come to dinner with Mr. Liang, and treat it as our apology."

The relatives and friends of the deceased were very polite, and they insisted on staying with Jin An and the others to dine together. Jin An and the others had no chance of refusing.

Unless you turn your back on the spot, you don't want to stay in Phoenix Town anymore.

Mr. Liang was afraid that Jin An's youthful vigor would make a move here, so he reached out and pressed the back of Jin An's hand. Jin An nodded slightly to Mr. Liang, expressing that he would not act recklessly and reassuring him.

"Don't eat anything."

Mr. Liang quietly left a word, and was dragged away by other relatives of the deceased to sit at the same table, while Jin An and the others sat at the corner table with the boss of the Shen family. Tables for adults, tables for the elderly, and tables for children.

A table can be filled with eleven people. Including the Shen brothers, there are eight people on Jin An's side, and the other three are relatives and friends of the deceased who don't talk much and always keep a straight face.

Those who sat at the table with Mr. Liang seemed to have a higher status.

When people are almost seated, the dishes begin to be served.

Everyone was busy traveling all the way, and in addition to being drenched in cold rain before, they were indeed a little hungry. Those quack warriors hired by Shen Zhuxiao couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and wait for the dishes to be served. As a result, they couldn't stop staring at the first dish Retching.

Southerners serve cold dishes first, then hot dishes, and finally clear soup to scrape the fat from their stomachs, but the first cold dish in front of them is a plate full of maggots.

The second cold dish on the table is toad with chopped heads.

Then centipedes, spiders, moths...

These cold dishes are indeed cold enough, and the back teeth are so cold that they are gasping for air. The half-stretched chopsticks of those Jianghu warriors holding up their chopsticks are all in the air, and the expressions on their faces are twitching. , as if a few hands were churning in the stomach for a while, wanting to rush up the throat, and his face turned blue and white for a while.

Mr. Liang's worries are superfluous.

Anyone with a normal mind would not touch these tough dishes.

As a result, the three relatives and friends of the deceased who were at the same table with them ate those maggots and spiders with their chopsticks without any scruples. They could clearly hear the sound of continuous bursting of pulp in their mouths, and yellow, green, and white liquid flowed out from between their teeth.

vomit--

Those kung fu masters couldn't hold back the churning in their stomachs any longer, and turned their heads to vomit profusely. As a result, they just vomited yellow-green bile because they didn't have any stock in their stomachs after a long day of traveling.

"What happened to them?" The relatives and friends of the deceased at the same table frowned.

While speaking, he could even clearly see maggots and insect viscera stuck between his teeth.

Jin An explained with a normal complexion: "It may be that the climate is not acclimatized. I ate some unclean food on the road, which made my body feel a little uncomfortable. The young people nowadays are in poor health, and they have headaches and brain fever at every turn. This is false and that is false. "

The three relatives and friends of the deceased looked at Jin An who spoke strangely, and they all felt that although Jin An was in normal body, his brain seemed a little abnormal.

"If you want to vomit, throw it to the side. It's really disgusting and unappetizing." The three of them frowned and continued to pick up the "cold dishes" with their chopsticks, eating with relish.

And a similar situation is also happening at other tables.

Even though Jin An was used to seeing the big world and hadn't seen any strange corpses before, he still couldn't stand the violent scene in front of him.

Those martial artists couldn't even spit out their bile until they vomited, and they were exhausted, but when they looked up, they saw the relatives and friends of the deceased were still eating, their faces glowing with excitement, and their faces pale with fright: "Master Jin'an, they... "

His voice was trembling, and he was frightened and restless.

But before he finished speaking, Jin An kicked the man under the table, and with a look, he stared back at the man's words.

This is to signal these people not to talk too much, and to talk about things after the dinner is over and leave here.

If you vomit too much, you will feel dry mouth. This is a symptom of dehydration in the body. Those Jianghu warriors who have nowhere to complain reach out and grab a jar of wine, trying to quench their thirst. As a result, they say no when the turbid wine is poured out. The complex smell of urine that was clearly mixed with something rushed straight into one's forehead.

vomit--

This time I couldn't even vomit out the bile, I just retched and my stomach twitched.

Fortunately, the old Taoist had quick eyesight and quick hands, he resealed the wine jar holding his breath, stretched out his hand to fan the air, and only then did he drive away the complex smell that hit his forehead.

"Sorry, sorry, we brothers can't drink wine." The old Taoist decisively put the wine jar under his feet silently.

The relatives and friends of the three deceased immediately expressed dissatisfaction: "It's really bad luck, if you can't drink, go sit at the children's table!"

The three of them were very dissatisfied with cursing and walking away, forced to squeeze into other adult tables to continue eating, and drove a few children who were eating with their elders over to join Jin An and the others at the same table.

The boys were less than the height of the table, they squatted on the table and stared at Jin An and the others. They were a little shy and didn't dare to open the table first.

After the cold dishes were almost served, the hot dishes started to be served. I saw plates of steaming sea bowls being delivered to the tables one by one on wooden trays.

The old Taoist suddenly sniffed hard, and then picked up the chopsticks with an excited face: "What a delicious smell of snake soup! Finally a normal hot dish!"

When the celadon sea bowl was put down, the old Taoist was dumbfounded. This hot dish was indeed snake soup, but this flower snake was neither slaughtered nor bled, nor peeled and boned. , Died without resting his eyes, didn't even chop off his head, and the appearance was horrible.

The whole snake soup is dark.

The hot dishes that followed were even more visually shocking one after the other. Dead mice and cockroaches came out. Facing a table of cold dishes, the old Taoist priest who hadn't vomited began to retch at this time.

Jin An seldom admired anyone in his life. Mr. Liang, who was sitting at the table with those relatives and friends of the deceased, pretending to blend into Fenghuang Town, talking and laughing as usual, was one of them!

"Uncle, can we eat?"

Jin An pretended not to hear.

In the end, those children couldn't bear the temptation of "food", and they reached out to grab something to eat regardless of Jin An's consent.

This meal was tormented, and just as everyone was counting how many dishes were left to be served, suddenly, there was a lot of noise outside, and a group of people rushed into the yard and smashed it up, saving Jin An them.

Shen Xianhai: "These people are all from the Zhang family!"

Shen Zhuxiao: "Brother, what happened to the Zhang family?"

Shen Xianhai quietly explained: "It's the bride's family."

They stood in the corner, away from the disputes between the two families. After listening for a while, they finally understood the reason why the Zhang family called the door. The widow is a mother for the brothers of the Zhang family.

Even the well-informed old Taoist priests heard such absurd things for the first time, and their eyes widened: "The five virtues have collapsed, the morality has been degraded, and the behavior of animals has been violated. Min is really fucking crazy!"
