Holy Bone

Chapter 162 Rattle, Ceremony
The body in the new coffin is from the Zhang family in Lingqian Township?

The result Li Huwei said was like throwing a rock into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves to be stirred up by one stone.

Everyone confirmed again and again that Li Huwei was sure that he would not admit the wrong person.

The corpse of the old man in the coffin was the master of the Zhang family, that is, the old father of Mr. He's great aunt Zhang. During the holidays, he followed the He family to Lingqian Township several times, so he would never mistake anyone.

Jin An asked Li Huwei to identify the other dead in the new coffin. Are they all from the Zhang family?

Li Huwei shook his head and said that he didn't know many Zhang family members, but he only knew a few direct descendants of the Zhang family. In this stone house, he only recognized the old man of the Zhang family.

So under the leadership of Jin An, a group of five people began to go door to door to pry the coffin lid. The old lady of the Zhang family, the Zhang family's aunt, Zhang's brothers and sisters... more and more people from the Zhang family were recognized by Li Weiwei.

This news surprised everyone.

what does this mean?
It means that the more than 100 people who disappeared overnight in the Zhang family's mansion in Lingqian Township did not enter Zhang's stomach... Then think of the Zhang family's mansion as if it was deliberately cleaned, as if someone deliberately hid it The secrets in the Zhang family's mansion, Jin An immediately thought of those antique dealers.

Jin An spoke out his conjecture, but there was one problem that didn't make sense. The Zhang family's mansion had a population of more than 100 people. How did so many corpses be transported to Taoyuan Village without anyone noticing it?
"The new head teacher, Pindao observed the corpses in these new coffins, and found that each of them had a lot of mud on their shoes and trouser legs. These corpses should have fallen to the ground, what the new head teacher said There should be a corpse exorcist in the group of antique dealers. Perhaps these corpses came to Taoyuan Village by themselves."

Hundred corpses walk in the night?

How did you hide it from everyone?
Li Huwei's eyes widened, and he called out to my mother, so many corpses walking at night, it's shabby enough to think about it, if you encounter a living person, how can you leave a whole corpse?
Hearing this, Jin An's heart skipped a beat. He raised his hand and scraped off a layer of dry black mud on the upper of the corpse. Then, under Guard Li's astonished admiration, Jin An put the black mud in front of his nose and smelled it. smell.

Although the black silt often accompanies the surface of the corpse, it has long been covered by corpse, yin, and rotten qi. Fortunately, Jin An is a martial arts practitioner, and his five senses are very sensitive. Special smell.

Jin An's eyes turned cold: "The silt has the rotten smell of fish, shrimp and aquatic plants. The black silt is river mud. The Zhang family should have entered Taoyuan Village by walking upright underwater. "

After listening to Jin An's words, the old Taoist priest and Li Huwei also scraped off a layer of mud from the surface of the corpse and put it in front of their noses to smell it. Naturally, they didn't smell anything.

"The water in Taoyuan Village is probably very deep. Let's go, let's continue to search in the depths of Taoyuan Village and see if we find anything?"

"We still haven't figured out why we have been in Taoyuan Village for so long, and we haven't encountered a headless corpse banquet!"

After Jin An finished speaking, he led everyone to continue walking to the depths of Taoyuan Village.

Jin An and the others walked all the way, everyone looked solemn and vigilant, worried that a group of headless corpses would suddenly come to make a sneak attack, but Guard Li was nervous and excited all the way, looking here and there, feeling here and there.

I am curious about this headless village everywhere, very strange.

"New head teacher, I have a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not. There seems to be something wrong with your friend." Seeing Li Huwei who was not afraid of running into evil all the way, Yu Youzi quietly walked to Jin An and said.

Hearing this, Jin An glanced at Guard Li who was looking at a collapsed stone house. The door of the collapsed stone house was gone. Li Huwei was not afraid of the eerie midnight atmosphere, Jin An nodded with deep sympathy: "Master, Li Huwei's brain circuit is indeed different from ordinary people."

He only wants to fight against evil, and fantasizes about coming to the headless village to be the headless corpse king. Can someone with a big enough heart be a normal person?
Better to be neurotic if not neurotic.

At this time, suddenly!
dong dong——

dong dong——

For example, in the dead village of the mass grave at night, suddenly there was a strange rattling sound inexplicably, like the sound of someone shaking a rattle in the dead village at night?
At first the sound was faint, but as it went deeper, the sound became louder and louder.The sound of the rattle seems to have a magical quality, such as the magic sound that fills the ears, making people's heart beat faster and inexplicably irritable.

Um?Where is the rattle sound coming from?
Everyone was alert.

This Taoyuan Village, the deeper it goes, the more weirdness it is filled with.

"Daoist Jin'an, look in front of us. Is there something floating in the sky? Could it be the head of a headless village floating in the sky?"

Li Huwei was the first to notice new movements in the village with sharp eyes, and ran back to Jin An and the others with a groan, and said nervously, full of desire to survive.

Everyone looked in the direction Li Wei said.

Under the dark night sky, under the dim moonlight, there was indeed a black shadow floating in the sky. The black shadow had been circling back and forth in the void, and the sound of the rattle came from that direction.

When he saw some black shadow floating in the sky in Wutou Village, Jin An mistakenly thought it was some flying headman at first, but when he got closer, it was not a flying headman, but a flying headman hanging high on the flagpole. The drums on the sky are spinning in the night sky.

Every time the drum rotates, there is a thump, thump, thud, echoing over the empty and desolate village, and the coldness spreads far away.

"drum?"

"Where did the drums come from in Taoyuan Village?"

"Even the stone houses and beams collapsed in the wind and rain. This Taoyuan Village seems to have been abandoned for a long time. Even the drums made of cowhide have been damaged by the wind and rain, right? Could it be that group of antique dealers who made it?" What kind of unclean things?"

They didn't advance rashly, but were fully vigilant and approached cautiously.As a result, when they saw the flag clearly, everyone's hairs stood on end, and a chill came down their backs.

As an ordinary person, Guard Li almost screamed out.

Fortunately, Yu Youzi who was beside him covered his mouth and nose in time.

Li Huwei, whose mouth and nose were covered by Yu Youzi, didn't dare to breathe immediately, his face was black and blue from the cold, and he was trembling.

Daoist Priest Yuyouzi was so cold, so cold.

Li Huwei's expression turned bitter.

Jin An naturally also noticed the abnormality on Li Huwei's face. Seeing that Li Huwei had calmed down, he continued to let Li Huwei suffer a little bit and continued to be quiet. Then, he turned his head and looked at the banner in front of him.

Said it was a banner.

It's not accurate anymore.

It was only after people approached that they could see clearly that under the dark night, two intact human skins were peeled off and made into leather drums, hanging on the flagpoles and floating.

This is a stick of human skin.

One side of the human skin flag is a man and the other is a woman. The man is crying and the woman is smiling. After they are skinned off, the rope is wrapped around the neck of the human skin, hung on the flagpole, and turns with the wind in the dark night. The arms are also swinging left and right, swinging, and beating the opponent's leather drum on the back over and over again, making a sound like a rattle in the hand of a rural peddler when he is selling things in the streets and alleys to attract business.

This is the truth of the black shadows that Jin An saw spinning in the void before.

There is also a human head sacrifice under the banner of human skin. Some of those human head sacrifices have rotted away, leaving only withered and yellow bones. Many skulls are incomplete, and it is obvious that they have been aged for some time.

There are also heads that have not completely decomposed, and some heads are almost completely rotted, which should have been dead for more than a month.

Some people's heads have just appeared and inflated the giant view, and they have died for about a week.

The number of these heads that have not yet rotted is not large.

A few people in Jin'an were silent for a while, thinking that these people were the victims who walked back to Taoyuan Village by themselves during the rainy season recently, because he saw the head of Xue Xiong, the young master of the Xue family, on the top floor of the pile of heads.

"It's still a step too late for Supreme Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun." The old Taoist bowed to Xue Xiong's rotten head.

"Little brother, those on the ground should be head sacrifices."

"Ghost laughter is better than listening to ghosts cry, and the worst thing is the female ghost in red. Mother, the most vicious thing here is the men and women hanging on the flagpole. The human skin flag is a combination of the two most vicious things." It's all put together."

However, when he got closer and saw more details of the human skin, the old Taoist's expression changed to angrily yelling: "Desperate for conscience! Desperate!"

"Little brother, look at the facial expressions of the two men and women on the flag drum, smiling and crying. They are so lifelike. Such a complete skinning technique should be when the person is alive, the person is stunned by medicine, tied up, and then A small slit is cut on the forehead of the person, and mercury is poured along the wound. Because the mercury is heavy, it will flow down the skin all the way, and slowly separate the flesh and skin layer by layer. This process is extremely cruel and slow, and the victim will It was very painful, and finally the whole human skin was peeled off."

Peeling skin is already inhumane, and this skin-peeling method in slow torment is even more tragic. The deceased suffered the most cruel torture during his lifetime, and slowly felt the pain of peeling off the flesh and skin. The pain was so painful that he bled dry, and he was killed alive.

No wonder the old Taoist couldn't help but yell at him.

"Head Sacrifice, this technique doesn't seem to come from Kangding Kingdom, but rather from a foreign tribe..." Yu Youzi looked at the men and women's leather flagpoles and said with frowned eyes.

While recalling, Yu Youzi continued to say: "I heard from my senior brother that the grassland tribes outside the pass like to sacrifice human heads the most."

"Every time they conquer a tribe, they will kill all the men in that tribe who are taller than the wheel, and then chop off their heads and put them up as a sacrifice to deter the resistance of other tribes. It is also a black witchcraft of the grassland tribes. "

"Whenever the life of the grassland tribes can't go on, the grassland tribe will often harass the border towns of Kangding before winter, burn, kill and loot food. Every time a village or city is looted, the city will be slaughtered. Human head sacrifice. Some people say that this grassland custom is that the grassland tribes use black witchcraft to sacrifice human souls to the patron saint in the sky, praying for good weather in the coming year, fat cattle, horses and sheep, and praying that the children and women in the tribe will not freeze to death again. In the cold winter on the grassland, because the wind and snow on the grassland are too heavy, it is too cold."

At this time, Jin An also noticed that the human skins on the men's and women's leather banners were covered with black, twisted and ugly evil spells.

These men and women stood in Taoyuan Village with their skin banners, pounding like a rattle drum, which was very strange in itself, and they also put up human head sacrifices under the human skin banners, which seemed to be some kind of evil sacrificial ceremony.

Several people walked and chatted.

They are all guessing, are all the abnormalities in this Taoyuan village related to this treacherous man and woman in front of them?
"There seems to be something on the ground! Everyone stop!"

Jin An suddenly called everyone to stop.

Surrounded by men and women's leather flags, someone unexpectedly wove a big net, and that big net was made of ancient copper coins and red thread.

It is like a dense cloud of stars, like a net of heaven and earth, surrounding men and women.

Because this big net of copper coins seems to have existed for a long time, buried under the soil by wind and sand, it is easy to be ignored.

"This is the five emperors' copper coins that have been handed down by the people of five dynasties and have been touched by the luck of five dynasties?"

Now, Jin An was not in a hurry to get close to the men's and women's leather flags first, and several people gathered around the flagpole and began to clean up the floating dirt on the ground.

The more the old Taoist counted, the more he became speechless: "There are so many five emperors' copper coins, this is a big deal that even I, an old Taoist, rarely see in my life."

"It may take a lot of time to accumulate so many Five Emperors copper coins."

"Those red lines are not ordinary red lines, they are cinnabar pure yang red lines."

At this time, even Yu Youzi squatted down to study the five emperors' copper coin net on the ground, but Yu Youzi became more and more surprised as he looked at it: "This is the plum blossom buckle in the round sky and the place that is unique to my Wu Zang Taoism!"

Yu Youzi's eyes showed doubts and confusion.

Have any ancestors or fellow disciples of Wuzang Taoism ever been to Taoyuan Village to punish evil?

This person should not be junior brother Yuyang.

Could it be that the elder brother has also been to Taoyuan Village?

It's just that this net of heaven and earth was not completely completed in the end.

There was a hole in the net bag, and a large piece of blood that had dried up and turned black was soaked in the ground. The expert who tried to use the five emperors' copper coins to create a prison for people's skins, trapping people's skins and playing tricks, was obviously looking at the imminent completion. At the last moment, it still failed...

"It's a pity that the net of heaven and earth has not been completed in the end. When the last step is about to be completed, it still falls short."

Yu Youzi said regretfully: "I don't know who this disciple of our Five Viscera Taoism who fell short in the end is? I also don't know if he escaped from this vicious place in the end."

Hey……

Jin An, the old Taoist priest, and Li Huwei looked at Yu Youzi squatting in front of the five emperors' copper coins, and sighed softly in their hearts.

Even after entering Taoyuan Village, he has been silent all the way, cutting his sword in a daze, and it is rare to roll his eyes to look at Yu Youzi.

"Master Uncle, Third Junior Brother and I will go to cut the flag together."

Jin'an and Shaojian were just about to cut down the flag, but there was a sudden change!

Originally drifting with the wind, the drums of crying and laughing men and women, beating like a rattle, suddenly stopped in horror.
