Holy Bone

Chapter 838 The eighth change of exorcising the dead, bringing back the dead to life
"They are all strange things with human faces carved, such as human-faced stones, human-faced square tripods, human-faced night pearls, human-faced god statues, and human-faced bronze mirrors..."

"On the contrary, a box of gold has become the most inconspicuous thing in it."

Fatty Li snapped his fingers and said like a few Jiazhen.

"A box of gold?" The old Taoist's eyes lit up, and he became energetic immediately.

If you want to talk about this, Lao Dao, I don’t have back pain or sleepiness today.

Fatty Li frowned and thought: "Speaking of which, that box of gold is quite strange."

Jin An looked over: "What kind of strange method?"

"There is a smell of the sea, which is similar to the smell of the chopping board in the fish market. It can be smelled from a long distance. It is like soaking in the bottom of the sea for hundreds of thousands of years, just salvaged from the bottom of the sea. The smell of the sea is strong. I can't get rid of it." Fatty Li described it vividly.

Jin An hasn't spoken yet, he's too old to be prudent at all, and loves to be surprised. The old Taoist shouted in surprise first: "This box of gold was also handed in by someone from the bottom? No one has seen this box of gold." For money?"

According to Fatty Li, this box of gold was found in a fishing village, and those fishermen deliberately broke open the gold in order to spend it secretly.However, those yellow metals have a strong taste, no matter how careful they are, they will attract the attention of interested people.In addition, the fisherman who did not come from a rich family took out the gold ingot flowers, no matter how you looked at it, it looked suspicious, let alone some murderer who sold the stolen goods, so someone reported the case, and the box of gold was confiscated by the yamen.

Uh.

Both the old Taoist priest and Jin An took a strange look at Fatty Li, who was an official.

I don't know if Fatty Li is thick-skinned or he didn't think too much, but he looked normal when facing the eyes of the two.

Jin An lowered his eyebrows and thought: "There have always been sea ships sunk in storms since ancient times. It is said that some people make a living by salvaging such sunken commercial ships."

Fatty Li said: "We generally call this kind of sea monkey. This kind of people grew up by the sea. They have good water skills and are as agile as sea monkeys."

Jin An asked Fatty Li to describe those human-faced objects in detail to see if he could find any clues.It's a pity that this time, even the well-informed Taoist priest who has traveled the rivers and lakes can't tell the origin of these strange things after listening to Fatty Li's description.

"By the way, I almost forgot one thing. There are a few gold silk scrolls in those things. They look fragmented, as if they have been torn into many parts. There are some scripture-like things written on them." Fatty Li Suddenly mentioned something.

Then he said depressedly: "It's a pity that those scriptures know me, Fat Lord, but I don't know those scriptures that look like a book from heaven. Before I rubbed them down and took them out to find someone who knows how to translate them, how could they be taken away first?" gone."

Hearing this, the old Taoist asked Fatty Li to try to recall and write a few scriptures for him to read, but what Fatty Li drew was as ugly as a ghost drawing talisman, it was too abstract, the old Taoist and Jin An looked at it for a long time in a daze I can't figure out which language this painting is in.

Fatty Li yelled and felt wronged: "It can't rely on me for this matter, who knows that someone will cut off halfway, who has nothing to remember."

Jin An and the old Taoist: "Isn't it the basic professional quality of the criminal investigation department to handle cases?"

Fatty Li looked at his colleagues: "Does our criminal investigation department have this requirement?"

The colleagues shook their heads resolutely, refusing to admit that they were unprofessional.

Fatty Li spread his hands towards Jin An and the old Taoist priest, and smiled, making them both roll their eyes in amusement.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, several people turned their eyes back to those mummified children. The old Taoist made a suggestion: "They are also innocent people who have been brutally murdered. It is pitiful to keep exposing the corpses like this, and the corpses are more likely to rot and disperse when exposed to moisture." Odor is tantamount to destroying evidence in disguise. In my opinion, the government built a coffin for each of these suffering lords. On the bench, sprinkle some lime powder on the ground to absorb moisture, keep the air dry, and help the corpse to embalm and prevent moisture.”

After hearing what the old Taoist said, Fatty Li clapped his hands and said, Daoist Chen, what you said is too reasonable, and he will do it right away.

"These children died miserably, and they have no father or mother to claim their bodies. Our government should pay for their funeral affairs. The court will definitely give them justice. I don't think there is any need to look far away for custom-made coffins. The Taoist temple just runs a ghost shop to sell coffins, and also sells paper money, paper piercing people and other ghost objects, so I directly asked the government office to find the five internal organs Taoist temple to buy."

"I remember that the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera also provides a one-stop service for funeral practices? Why don't you ask the government to ask Daoist Chen to perform a ceremony for these poor children, and tell them to sleep peacefully first. Uncle Li, I will definitely avenge them. Resentment and resentment."

The old Taoist: "Good."

Jin An: "Good."

With just a few words, Fatty Li handed over the government government's foreign procurement business to the Wu Zang Dao Temple. This time, the Wu Zang Dao Temple not only gained popularity among the people, but also established business with the Jiangzhou government government in the future.

……

……

The custom-made coffin was finished the next day. Jin'an and the old Taoist priest personally delivered the goods to the door to mummify the corpses of several children, and performed a ceremony of transcendence.

It was already dark at this time, but it still couldn't stop the unbearable summer heat. Although there was no physical work, the old Taoist priest, Li Fatty, and some night watchmen were still hot and sticky with sweat.

After finishing the ceremony, Jin An didn't rush to build the coffin, but looked up at the night above his head, and the old Taoist asked curiously what's wrong?
Jin An said with some emotion that when he was chanting scriptures to save them just now, he felt something, old Taoist priest, did you say that the people and places they missed the most during their lifetime were their parents in their hometown?
Then he said that he could try to see if he could fulfill their vows and let the dead souls rest in peace.If this is really possible, maybe they can directly find out their hometown identities and help the government solve this unsolved case earlier.

Fatty Li was overjoyed when he heard this: "Sure enough, I found the right person to find Daoist Jin'an and Daoist Chen this time! I didn't expect that Daoist Jin'an still has such abilities! How can Jin'an make the dead speak?"

The conversation here also attracted other yamen servants, who gathered around curiously to watch the excitement.

Jin An nodded with a smile and said, "I know a Taoist technique called 'Expelling Corpse Technique', you can try it."

The old Taoist looked at Jin An in surprise, thinking that no little brother had used it before, when did he learn a new Taoism?
Fatty Li was surprised: "I heard about this technique of expelling corpses. The Taoist priest of Jin'an also knows how to exorcise corpses in Xiangxi? It is said that there is a kind of ghost walker called corpse exorciser, who can send dead foreigners home for burial. , the body will not rot in a month or two."

"I don't know how to remove corpses like the Xiangxi corpse removal method, but the principle is similar." Jin An didn't explain too much, and then started to practice directly.

The exorcising technique he mentioned was exactly the eighth variation expelling corpse technique he had just learned when he broke through the third realm!

The function of expelling corpses is to bring people who died in other places back to life, return to life for a short time, go home to finish the funeral, and finally reincarnate with peace of mind.

This is obtained from the "72 Changes of Daomen Description" in the tomb of the mountain god in the blessed land of Dongtian.It's just that Jin'an cast a spell this time for the first time, and he didn't know the specific effect, so he didn't give a positive promise.

Jin An walked to one of the coffins. He raised his palm and patted the child's mummy's heart lightly. A miraculous scene happened. In the night, a golden light burst out in the government office, and the heaven and earth burst out with vigorous yang energy, a ray of yang energy Cross into the mummy's heart.

Boom, boom, there was the sound of a heart beating in the peaceful coffin, the coffin was no longer calm, everyone present opened their mouths wide in shock, the most courageous old Taoist priest and Fatty Li ran to the side of the coffin and looked inside.

what!The two exclaimed, dumbfounded on the spot.

I saw that the shriveled corpse in the coffin was growing white bones at a visible speed, living muscles, fleshy body, and finally turned into a child with red lips, white teeth, and ruddy complexion.

Not to mention that the two of them were dumbfounded, even Jin An, who was casting the corpse expelling technique for the first time, was surprised by this miraculous scene. His eyes flickered as he looked at the still alive child in the coffin.

This scene was too shocking and unheard of. Just as the old Taoist priest and Fatty Li were still dumbfounded and didn't realize it, the "living child" in the coffin had already opened his eyes.He seemed to have just woken up from a dream, his sleepy eyes were hazy and confused, looking at the three faces that were about to stick to his face, he screamed in terror, driven by Jin An, the old man The Taoist priest and Fatty Li reluctantly moved away their big faces, so as not to scare the children again.

These two are also dead.

Not only was he not afraid, but he also looked reluctant to leave, which was different from normal people's reaction.For example, when the yamen servants saw the resurrected "living child" coming out of the coffin, they were all frightened to the point of goosebumps all over their bodies, yelling, "Oh my god, I'm a fake corpse", and their faces were paler than ghosts in fright.

"Officer, lord, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have offended the lord, I beg the lord to bypass me, don't arrest me and put me in jail, I'm afraid of the dark... I, I kowtow to you, please don't arrest me Me." The child was frightened by a group of yelling yamen servants and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, the tears in his eyes rolled down and wet the ground below him, which really made people feel distressed.

Like, like, so fucking like!Fatty Li was dumbfounded!He meant that the child was so much like a living person that he couldn't tell at all that it was a rotten and smelly corpse that was smothered to death in Zhenhai stone by someone's stake!
Jin An didn't dislike the smell of tattered clothes on the child. He gently lifted the child up, knelt down and wiped the child's tears with the sleeves of his Taoist robe, and said in a soft tone that a man only kneels to his parents besides kneeling on the ground.

He went on to say that we didn't want to arrest you, we took you back to the Yamen because we found you sleeping alone on the side of the road, and you were a good brother and uncle who came here to protect you.

The old Taoist and Fatty Li looked at Jin An talking gently with the child, and nodded accordingly, saying that we are all good brothers and uncles, not bad people who want to harm you, and Fatty Li stared at those who are not as courageous as an old man. Young servants.

Those yamen servants were so frightened that they could only bite the bullet and nod along, with a stiff smile uglier than crying, saying that we are all good uncles.

It was the old Taoist who was careful, and ordered someone to find a child's clothes.

Looking at the thin and frail child who was less than six or seven years old in front of him, Jin An continued to smile gently and said, "Can you tell me your name?"

The child opened his innocent black eyes: "...Brother Daochang, my...name is Xiaonan."

Jin An continued to say softly: "Xiao Nan, do you still have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"wish?"

"wish……"

"By the way, father and mother, I will never be angry with you again, and I will never run away from home again. I am afraid of the dark, I miss home, I miss my father and mother, and I miss Big Yellow Dog."

The child muttered to himself at first, and then finally regained his memory. The tears that had just stopped fell down again. Seeing such a small child cry, the adults were heartbroken.

"Go, go and fulfill your wish, and meet the parents who gave birth to you and raised you." Jin An encouraged the child, stroking the child's hair.

"Thank you brother Daochang, you are a very good person." The child bowed obediently and thanked.

At this time, Fatty Li took the clothes found by the yamen servant and handed them to the child. The child was also grateful and said, "Thank you, fat uncle who is also a good person."

A fat uncle can make Li Fatty depressed.

It’s fine to call me fat, but why call Jin’an a good brother and me a good uncle, because I’m more than ten years older than Fatty Li, and I look younger and mature?
After washing and changing into new clothes, Jin An encouraged: "Go, go and fulfill your wish."

The child bowed down to thank everyone present, including those yamen servants, and then ran out of the yamen. The thin and lonely figure couldn't wait to run towards home.

Watching the child run out of the government office, the servants who were under tremendous psychological pressure all heaved a collective sigh of relief.

"Daoist Jin'an, isn't he already dead..." A yamen servant was about to speak, but when he met Jin'an's gaze, he stuttered in fright and swallowed the words back into his stomach.

"Daoist Jin'an, please help us solve our doubts." Fatty Li cupped his hands and asked for advice.

Jin An looked at the direction in which the child ran out of the government office, and explained: "My exorcism technique can temporarily bring people back to life, eat and sleep normally, and communicate with people normally, so that poor people who can see their family members for the last time in the future can go home After seeing your loved ones for the last time, fulfilling your last wish, and then reincarnate with peace of mind."

"However, this technique also has a shortcoming, that is, the deceased does not know that he is dead. Once he wakes up, the technique will be dispelled instantly like a dream bubble shattering."

After hearing that there is still such a magical Taoism in the world, everyone present gave a thumbs up, praising Jin'an that this is a great merit and good deed.

"It seems that the business of Yizhuang can also be handed over to Wuzang Taoist Temple and Taoist Jin'an in the future." Fatty Li's first thought was to take care of the business again.

Jin An shook his head lightly: "The world is fair, there is gain on one side, and loss on the other side. The premise of exorcising corpses is that retribution is retaliated, life for life, and a wicked person's life is exchanged for another's temporary repayment." Yang went home to take care of the funeral and fulfill his wish."

Uh.

A yamen servant was surprised and said: "I remembered. I heard from Butou during the day that a cottage outside the city was wiped out yesterday. Except for cattle, horses, sheep and livestock, none of the dozens of robbers who killed and looted survived! Butou also said that there were nearby The mountain people once saw a Taoist priest go up the mountain! It turns out that the Taoist priest of Jin’an destroyed the mountain stronghold to help these innocent and poor children return to the sun!"

"Everyone keeps this matter secret today, don't cause unnecessary trouble to Daoist Jin'an." Fatty Li warned the yamen servants at this time.

Those yamen servants nodded their heads one by one and assured them: "Jin'an Daoist is the real worldly master who doesn't seek fame. Today, our brothers are all eye-opening, and we are really impressed by Jin'an Daoist's mind." , I’m sure I won’t be chewing my tongue around.”

Jin An glanced at Fatty Li and said, "Let's put this aside for now. Let's follow the kid to see where his home is. At the same time, I'll tell the night watchmen and the soldiers guarding the city gate not to stop the kid."

Fatty Li quickly patted his chest, saying that the matter was on him. The criminal investigation department handled the case and reported it directly to the capital. The local yamen had no right to intervene or intervene.

Under the vast night, the city gate of Jiangzhou Mansion under curfew suddenly opened, and a child eager to return home ran out of Jiangzhou Mansion unimpeded.

Not long after, a fat figure riding a fast horse accompanied a young Taoist priest riding a white sheep, and followed him out of Jiangzhou Mansion, following the child far behind, protecting him for the rest of his life.
