Holy Bone

Chapter 1125

Jin An's words made several people present gasp in surprise.

Indeed, it is only right and proper for dogs to pick up bones.

In the folklore, there is also a saying that old dogs become spirits and learn to walk on two legs. For this reason, the folks have also explored a quick identification method, that is, throw a bone on the ground to see if the dog will lie down on the ground. Grab a bone.

People certainly don't lie on the ground when they see bones, only dogs do.

Commander Zhang and Fatty Li were taken aback by the old Taoist's rhetoric, while lamenting that the world is so big and full of wonders.

Jin An kicked a stone with his foot, and the stone made a sound of breaking through the air, piercing the night sky at high speed and disappearing under the night.

Not long after, they heard the dog barking in pain when its foot was pinched by the door. When they caught up with the old dog digging the grave, they saw an old dog lying motionless on the ground, with a bruise on its forehead. There was a lot of blood from the newly injured wound.

"Did you die like this?" Fatty Li and the old Taoist found a branch and poked the old dog on the ground.

The old dog didn't move.

Fatty Li found a human leg bone stick suspiciously, and threw it to the old dog's mouth, but there was no response.

Most of the mass graves are human bones.

Fatty Li was shocked: "Is he really dead? If he pretended to be dead and didn't respond to the bones, isn't this a real dog, but a real person?"

Then he looked at the old Taoist priest suspiciously, doubting whether what the old Taoist priest said earlier was true or not.

The old Taoist rolled his eyes and said: "Although it is a dog, it doesn't eat all kinds of bones. People are classified into three or six grades, and dogs are also classified into three or six or nine grades. You can see that its fur is shiny and it can wear clothes. It seems that it has a master." The bones you throw to the dog are not good, they are smelly and rotten and there is no meat, you throw fresh braised rabbit legs and beef leg bones hot pot to it, and see if it wakes up."

Fatty Li blinked: "Where can I find fresh braised rabbit legs and beef leg bone hot pot for this fat man in the wilderness..."

The old Taoist rolled his eyes, sneaked around behind the old dog's buttocks, and then poked hard at the middle of the two wrinkled bells with the branch in his hand, woo!

With a scream, the old dog clamped its tail tightly, jumped up to the height of a person, and barked at the old Taoist baring his teeth.

Fatty Li's eyes sparkled: "It turns out that he is really pretending to be dead."

Seeing the old dog resist violently under the pressure of Fatty Li, the old dog kicked his legs frantically on Fatty Li, causing Fatty Li to scream in pain. The old Taoist rolled up his sleeves and rushed to help, excitedly holding down the old dog's hind legs .

"Chen Daochang, you said that this old dog's eyes are green, is it the same as the dead monkey we met when we went down the Yinyi River in Wuzhou Prefecture, is it something made by the corpse hunter?" Fatty Li Still firmly suppressing the old dog.

The old Taoist frowned and said, "No, isn't it normal for these cats and dogs to have green eyes at night?"

Fatty Li asked Jin An again, could this old dog who looks like a dog be someone who knows how to make animals to dig graves in dog skin?
Jin An, who was inspecting the grave dug out by the old dog, shook his head and said no.

After the old dog was tied up, Fatty Li, who was covered in dirt, came over: "Daoist Jin'an, what did you find?"

Then I heard Fatty Li exclaiming: "Why is the coffin and grave soil here full of blood! The bloody coffin has collapsed under it!"

After thinking about it, Jin An said, "The grandpa and grandson of the bone picker brought Liu Yun that night, and they should have come here to pick up bones. Fatty Li, can you check the information of the owner of the tomb here?"

Fatty Li said with embarrassment: "I'm afraid there is no way. This place itself is a mass grave, and the government can't control it."

Just at this time, the Criminal Investigation Department found some tools for tomb robbery nearby. Yes, the tools and personnel are there, so let's dig.

The criminal prosecutors present were all martial arts practitioners. They were originally strong, but now that they had tools in hand, they could dig up the soil with a speed of wind and fire.

The first thing to be dug out was the blood coffin. After a simple cleaning, it was found that the inside of the blood coffin was full of scriptures, but these scriptures were not modern texts, they seemed to be written thousands of years ago.

"It's strange. Although there are many ancient tombs in Daheishan, how come the coffin from thousands of years ago came to the top layer closest to the ground?" Fatty Li was surprised.

"Could it be that the descendants of the descendants moved the graves for the ancestors?"

"I understand!"

Fatty Li suddenly yelled, and the more he talked, the more excited he became: "We need to pick up bones to move the grave. Could these bone pickers be invited by the descendants of the people in the coffin to pick up and identify bones for them, and then move the grave to In the new cemetery!"

Jin An took a look: "Do we need to kill so many people to move a grave?"

Fatty Li was stunned. Indeed, if so many people had to be killed every time the grave was moved to pick up the bones, wouldn't it be a mess long ago.

But Fatty Li quickly regained his energy, and he had a new idea: "Could it be because of the age, I can't confirm whether it is the bone that the employer is looking for, so the bone picker secretly refined a ghoul , to increase the success rate of picking bones. For example, the status of the employer is not low, and the conditions offered are so attractive that even the grandfather and grandson of the bone picker can't refuse, so they are so attentive... In fact, even the employer doesn't know The three bone pickers have done so many outrageous things."

It’s not the collision of two civilizations, the civilization of the Central Plains and the civilization of the Western Regions, so no matter how the text evolves in the past thousand years, there will always be some similarities. The old Taoist took the leaves of the locust tree, swept them around inside the blood coffin, and recognized it. A few characters, he shouted in surprise: "It seems to be written in the "Duo Ren Jing"?"

The old Taoist wrote the few characters he recognized on the ground. After Jin An read it, it was indeed the scriptures of the "Saving People".

"It seems that the grandpa and grandson of the bone picker are very unlucky. When they encounter a dead person who cheated thousands of years ago, the "Saving People" can be used in the coffin. It is also a blood coffin with blood and soil. The buried person has been buried thousands of years ago. There are signs of fraudulent corpses, but these years have been suppressed by the "Journal of Duren" and they have lived in peace underground. All these changes happened a few months ago. Master, grandfather and grandson both ate, only Liu Yun escaped."

Fatty Li asked curiously, "Why didn't the blood coffin kill Liu Yun?"

The old Taoist thought about it and said: "This may have something to do with Liu Yun being a ghoul, just like Fatty Li just now, you threw dry bones on the side of the road to the old dog, but you can try throwing braised rabbit legs and beef leg bones in hot pot, whether it will eat it or not. "

Gollum-

Fatty Li’s belly was like thunder, and he covered his stomach with a frowning face: “Chen Daochang, don’t talk about braised rabbit legs and beef leg bone hot pot anymore. You have mentioned it several times in a row. All I can think about is braised rabbit legs and beef leg bone hotpot.”

Sure enough, there are many people with a wide range of thinking. Fatty Li and the old Taoist have almost analyzed the case with each other.

All that remains now is to find the remains of the bone picker, and then follow the clues to find out the real employer behind it.

Jin An and Commander Zhang discussed it and decided to continue digging to see if they could find other clues.

But after digging for a while, I didn't find any valuable clues, only some rotten bones, some of which were adults and children.

During this period, Jin'an tried several times to explore the spiritual consciousness, but the burial atmosphere here was too heavy, and the spiritual consciousness was like a stone cow entering the sea, making it difficult to move an inch.

After digging for a while, seeing that the progress of the excavation was still not fast, Jin An told everyone to stop, then jumped into the cave, and went down to check the situation below.

Boom!

Roar!
A creepy corpse roar came from the bottom of the cave, and everyone felt a shock from the earth and rocks under their feet. The next moment, the cave collapsed several feet deep, and the cave collapsed, buried by countless earth, rocks and dead bones.

"Little brother!"

"Daoist Jin'an!"

The few people had just dug for a while, and the earth and rocks under their feet shook again. Jin An returned to the ground carrying a bloody corpse and two mutilated corpses.

The two mutilated corpses, one old and one young, made everyone have vague guesses in their hearts.

Sure enough, Jin An said: "When I found this blood corpse, there were two highly decomposed corpses that had just died for a few months at its feet. They should be the grandfather and grandson of the bone picker we were looking for."

"This blood corpse should be a dead person buried in a blood coffin. After it escaped from the blood coffin, it has been hiding in a tomb of the master of the underground palace that has not been discovered by the tomb robbers."

The millennium blood corpse is not the third level of disaster, but it is not far from disaster, so it has been dormant in the underground palace, waiting for the opportunity to break through.It's a pity that it met Jin'an, a martial arts immortal, and was sacrificed to heaven as soon as he met.

Just when Jin An finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and snorted coldly: "What wandering soul dares to spy on me!"

The spirit and blood of the martial arts erupted like a sea of ​​red flames, scaring a few souls out of their bodies to leave in a hurry. These souls could not be seen by ordinary people, but only Jin An could see them. They all fell to the Daheishan on the ground.

"What happened to Daoist Jin'an?" Commander Zhang and Fatty Li looked concerned.

Jin An said it was okay. Seeing that it was getting late, and it would be dawn in less than half an hour, he asked everyone to finish work and go back first.

"What should we do with the excavated bones of Daoist Jin'an and this bloody coffin?" someone asked.

After some thought, Jin An said, "Take them back first."

After finishing speaking, Jin An pointed to the old dog on the ground: "Take this back too, since it is owned by someone, someone will come to claim it sooner or later."

Jin An took one last look at the Daheishan opposite, and finally did not go, but led his people back home directly.

On the other side of Dahei Mountain, there are masters from Yujing and Jinque, and he has already understood the situation in the underworld, so there is no need to join in the fun.

……

……

As soon as we got back to the Watchtower of the Criminal Investigation Department, someone immediately came to inform that Yujing Jinque, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion had come to visit one after another, and they all came to visit Jin'an, but Jin'an was not there. After sitting for a while, we couldn't wait. Jin An went back first, and left a visiting gift before leaving.

After finishing speaking, the people in the criminal investigation department all looked at the dog leash in Fatty Li's hand with surprise. At one end of the dog leash was tied an old white-bearded dog who learned how to dress like a dog.

Someone joked that Li Tou is inviting everyone to eat fragrant meat to drive away the cold and strengthen the yang, which attracted more people to watch.

The old dog understands human nature, sits on the ground and does not go away.

No matter how Fatty Li pulls him, he won't leave.

It wasn't until Jin An said that he wouldn't eat you that the old dog stood up again like a human being, and took the initiative to enter the criminal investigation department.

Fatty Li froze in place, the dog leash slipped from his hand without reacting, the old dog took the initiative to pick up the leash and put it in Fatty Li's hand, then turned his head to Fatty Li and raised his head, meaning let's go, enter the punishment Chase.

This scene made Fatty Li even more depressed. Did he lead the dog into the Criminal Prosecution Division, or the dog led him into the Criminal Prosecution Division.

On the contrary, the people from the criminal investigation department were surprised. Didn't they go out to investigate the case of picking up bones and eating cannibals? Why did they bring back an old dog that looks like a dog?The point is that this old dog is too humane, and he will walk around on a leash by himself.

After returning to the Criminal Investigation Department, Jin An asked Fatty Li to help him with a pen and paper, then drew a portrait and handed it to Fatty Li.

"This is the employer who hired three generations of bone pickers to collect bones. If you find this employer, you will be able to find out whose bones they want to pick up."

"Although the real culprit and the body of the real culprit have been found, the case can be closed. But I have always been curious about whose body the employer behind the scenes is going to pick up. Maybe this is the reason why the Dali Temple The real reason for seeing it as a hot potato."

The portrait is of an ordinary middle-aged man, a little fat, with a mole at the corner of his eye.

Jin An reminded: "This person may know how to change his face. He may not be so easy to find, but he can send it to the yamen in the capital. Pay more attention to whether there are people with similar looks on weekdays."

"As for the case of cannibalism and picking bones, the bones of the real culprit have been found, and the motive for the crime has been investigated clearly. The case can be closed first. The case can be reopened after the employer behind it is found."

Fatty Li looked at the portrait in surprise: "Daoist Jin'an has gone out of his way again? The employer's appearance seen through the obsession of the dead?"

"When did Daoist Jin'an go wrong? I didn't even notice it."

Jin An said with a smile, "Just now when you handed me the banknotes, I went into the room to draw portraits."

While Fatty Li was happily taking the scroll and leaving, the old Taoist who took the leash asked Jin An quietly: "Little brother, have you really closed the case?"

Jin An nodded: "The case is really closed."

In fact, the case itself is not complicated. Someone spent money to find a bone picker to pick up bones. The army was wiped out, and only Liu Yun escaped because of the ghoul.Liu Yun, who escaped back, was no longer under the control of a bone picker, frequently cooked other people, and threw the corpses behind the mountains. Later, because he ate too many people, his evil spirit attacked his brain, and he had hallucinations and reported himself to the police, which implicated this series of bone pickers person case.

The employer behind the scenes is not a bone picker, he doesn't know about ghouls, and it is even more impossible to take the initiative to participate in killing and cooking corpses, otherwise the obsession on the iron pot cooking corpses will respond when he is in the dark.

Although the real culprit was found, the case left a suspense. Whose bones are the employer looking for so that Dali Temple can be saved?
"The case has been closed, what about this old dog?" The old Taoist pointed to his feet.

Jin An: "Tie it to the door and wait for the owner to claim it."

Soon, details about Jin An's driving corpses, walking around, and searching for bones with a compass spread in the criminal investigation department. He is high-spirited, and he is sought after by people wherever he goes. I hope to talk more about the details of the evening...
