Holy Bone

Chapter 725 "Breaking the Tomb"

People in Fenghuang Town regarded the female corpse as unknown, so the place where she was buried naturally couldn't be too close to Fenghuang Town.

According to the Zhang family, Mr. Da buried the body in an open place at the highest point of the mountains and rivers, away from the water vapor and earth atmosphere, which is equivalent to being far away from the root of the disaster. This is like duckweed without roots. Without roots, there is no disaster of raising corpses .

Moreover, this open place can't hide the wind, and can't keep water. It's exposed to the sun every day for three days, which is the most suitable for suppressing corpses and transforming evil spirits.

It is deep in the mountains and old forests, the moon is cold and the birds are cool, and it is really difficult to walk on the mountain road at night.

"Little brother, it's about to rain." The old Taoist priest who followed Jin An with a torch suddenly said something out of nowhere.

Jin An asked the old Taoist how he knew?
The old Taoist smiled complacently: "Little brother, you forgot, the old Taoist, I have old cold legs, which is more effective than asking the Dragon King of the Four Seas and Seas to borrow rain, or asking the rain master to pray for rain. As long as the old cold legs hurt, the old Taoist, I know that I will rain It's raining."

Jin An looked at the old Taoist speechlessly: "You are quite complacent."

Since the vision of heaven and earth, the days are short and the nights are long, and the celestial stems and earthly branches have been disordered, the night time has become much longer. So many things happened tonight, when the two climbed over the mountains and climbed to the top of the mountain, there were still dark clouds covering the top and no dawn.

rustling --

There are no high mountains on the top of the mountain, only some dwarf bushes swaying like ghosts beckoning in the dark night, it seems that even the wind on the top of the mountain has become a ghostly black whirlwind, with a sharp hissing sound.

"Little brother, the wind is blowing, the sky is covered with dark clouds and the moon is covered, and the gods and stars are nowhere to be seen. It seems that the rain is not far away." The old Taoist looked up at the night sky and said solemnly.

The patter, the icy raindrops fell from the sky, the old Taoist's mouth was really faster than Cao Cao's.

The top of the mountain was regarded as ominous by the townspeople of Fenghuang Town, and the grass was overgrown. The cemetery had already been refilled by the townspeople. However, those villagers were mediocre and did not understand Feng Shui. The bare soil was covered with puddles of rainwater.

I don't know how many days the rain has accumulated, there are many dead leaves, cobwebs, and mosquito eggs floating around. Under the light of the torch, it is as black as ink and the bottom cannot be seen.

Ordinary people don't think too much when they see this place, they only think that the townspeople of Fenghuang Town are afraid that this place has been deserted and no one has ever visited, and they think it's normal.But the old Taoist priest and Jin An frowned when they saw this scene.

"Dragonfly water is originally the upper Jiaji acupoint, which can prosper future generations and make future generations rich and honored. However, the water here is not a vigorous spring, but stagnant water with rootless water falling to the ground. Turning the auspicious acupoint into a dead acupoint will not bring good things. Luck is more likely to attract evil spirits!" The expression on the old Taoist's face became more serious.

Now that they had already arrived, the two of them were not Moji people, so they took out the hoes and shovels they carried with them, and began to dig the grave.

There are three main things to do when digging a grave: lighting joss sticks, placing offerings, and burning paper money.

The two of them didn't know in advance that this was actually a vertical burial, and when they dug to the head of the vertical coffin, they subconsciously stopped.

"It's really not going well this way, why is it still a vertical burial?"

"It seems that Mr. Da is indeed cautious in his actions. He knows that people who die violently are most afraid of the coffin falling to the ground, so he used the vertical burial to dissipate the evil spirit."

The Zhang family did not mention the matter of the vertical burial, perhaps because it happened for too long, after all, it has been half a year, so they forgot, or it may be that vertical burials and horizontal burials are the same, so they did not mention it.

"Vertical graves, stagnant water caves, yin cannot be scattered, but yin is gathered. This is a terrible place! If someone with resentment is buried here, within a month, there will be corpses and wounding people!" The old Taoist looked at him with a serious expression. Jin An, let Jin An make the decision.

"dig."

Jin An's answer was only one word.

He looked around and found some pulley tools that were buried at the beginning, but the wooden tools were not properly maintained and aged quickly. Some pulleys, short shafts, and ropes were no longer usable. It seemed that the most primitive tools were needed——

Pure human power!

The two first dug a deep vertical burial pit, and then Jin An held the coffin with both hands, and with a loud sound, he successfully lifted the coffin out.

boom!
With a dull sound, the coffin fell heavily.

Lifting his palm, Jin An swiftly slapped the lid of the coffin open, but the coffin was empty.

"If you want to know the graves of men, women, old and young, only the grass and trees can know the sound. If you want to know the cause of death, the grass and trees can also distinguish clearly. You need to know whether the owner of the house is rich or poor, and the landscape of the graveyard is self-evident. New and old grass and trees grow in the tomb, and the yin and yang of the grass and trees are true. The young grass grows in the east, and the old grass grows in the west. The grass grows in the east for the male family, and the west for the female family. All things on the grave grow mounds, first the rich and then the poor and the descendants lose. The left comes from the east and the right goes to the west, sitting in the southern dynasty The fourth one is taken from the north. The tall grass on the left is the male grave, and the tall grass on the right is for burying women. The grass grows straight up in the male grave, and the grass grows in disorder in the female grave... There is no grass and dead bones on the grave. If there is no grass, it must be tuberculosis and lonely old people. The hole in front of the grave is poisoned to death, and the curly skin on the ground is poisoned. The upper point and the lower point are big in the middle, and it must be yellow and swollen to death..."

The old Taoist first read a feng shui jingle, and then said: "It seems that the Zhang family is right. There are not even any weeds on this grave, not to mention the poisonous weeds that love shade. The corpse in the coffin is indeed gone."

The jingle that the old Taoist chanted just now is called "Entering the Grave and Breaking the Mouth", which is the entry formula of the yin and yang feng shui lineage. It can be judged by the feng shui direction in front of the grave to determine whether the grave is male or female, old or young, and is a normal death. Those who died were still called wronged, those who were poisoned, or those who died of jaundice and tuberculosis.

Although he already knew this would be the result, Jin An still frowned unwillingly after walking such a long mountain road and only found an empty coffin.

"It seems that we still have to find clues in Fenghuang Town." Just as Jin An was about to burn the coffin and destroy the tomb, the old Taoist suddenly asked Jin An to wait.

The old Taoist picked up a shovel to pry a piece of wood from the coffin board, and then let Jin'an burn the coffin.

"The dark cloud treading snow, black dog with a bright moon in his heart that the Zheng family found is a good dog that guards the house. This coffin has buried people before, and it has been sealed under the soil. Maybe there is still some smell left. The dog But through psychics, not only can you see things that ordinary people can't see, but you can also smell the evil spirit that ordinary people can't smell." The old Taoist explained.

Jin An gave the old Taoist a thumbs-up, praising him for his reliability, and then burned the coffin with fire poison and leveled the cemetery.

The mountain road is raining heavily, and the mud road is about to break the soul.

Even though the celestial stems and earthly branches were abnormal, the days were short and the nights were long, the two came back and forth, and it was already dawn when they returned to Fenghuang Town.

The travel-worn two were just about to enter the town when they accidentally saw two brothers from the Song family who hadn't seen each other wandering anxiously at the entrance of the town.

As soon as the brothers saw Jin An and the old Taoist priest, they ran over in a hurry. It turned out that Fenghuang Town had entered a newcomer by mistake again, but this time the newcomer was a little different. It was from the Yamen of Yin County, and the one who came was Fangxu, a tax collector. Officials and several accompanying government servants.

Local people in Kangding state pay taxes by adopting the method of people's collection and public settlement. For example, people in a village pay taxes and grain to the local Lizheng, people in a town pay taxes and grain to the local mayor, and then hand them over to the county government.

But the thing happened is that Fenghuang Town has only been in and out for the past six months, and has not paid taxes. Failure to pay taxes on time is a serious crime. The Yin County Yamen did not dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to urge them to pay.

Where is Phoenix Township now?
That's a bunch of lunatics!

The bodies of these officials and lords are very delicate, if they don't want to eat those bugs, centipedes and toads, who can guarantee that the townspeople of Fenghuang Town will change their minds and eat people instead?

In the past six months, outsiders must have entered Fenghuang Town, but looking at the current Phoenix Town, no outsider can see it. Who can tell where those outsiders have gone?

Now those few people from the yamen are being delayed by other people in Yizhuang, waiting for Jin An and the old Taoist to come back and give them an idea.

Jin An frowned, this is indeed a big trouble, no matter what is involved with the government, simple things will become complicated, and complicated things can become big troubles.

"We know about this, you should stabilize them for the time being, and the old Taoist priest and I will settle the matter today."

Jin'an left behind the two brothers of the Song family who were eager to speak, and he and the old Taoist went back to the town.

In the early morning, there were many hawkers in the town, and there were shadows on the street.

"Sell candied haws!"

"Selling rice noodles... Do you want a bowl of rice noodles?"

As soon as they heard the rice noodles, the old Taoist was so hungry that he couldn't walk. They tossed all night and didn't get anything to eat. They were so hungry that there was no oil or water left.

"Guest, your rice noodles are here." Just at this time, the owner of the morning stall came to a table of guests with a bowl of steaming rice noodles. , but it smells good.

The old Taoist was so envious that he couldn't walk, the guests at the table picked up the chopsticks in the bamboo tube, stirred the rice noodles, and started to eat them deliciously. A large piece of minced meat rolled out under the rice noodles, some with toad legs, some with black Back centipede.

At this time, the owner of the morning stall served a stack of side dishes to the customers, and there were many white maggots wriggling in the stack of side dishes.

The old Taoist's face turned pale, and his stomach was overwhelmed.

Just at this time, the person who was selling candied haws approached, and they were not candied haws, but strings of toads, mice, and insects.

The old Taoist didn't dare to stay where he was any longer, so he dragged Jin'an away and fled.

"His grandma, this Fenghuang Town is even more evil than the ghost market! At least the ghost market only appears in dark places at night! They act against human ethics and behave like beasts. These people not only go crazy at night, but also go crazy in broad daylight. !"

"The brothers of the Song family did the right thing. Luckily they stopped the household servants who came to urge them to pay. If they saw this scene, they might make a lot of trouble! It's really hard for Mr. Liang and the boss of the Song family. I don't know how they survive these days!"

The two of them, who wanted to finish the business here as soon as possible and return to the normal world to relive the delicacies of the world, came to Zheng's house and said straight to the point that they wanted to borrow the dog again.
