Holy Bone

Chapter 840 The Human Face Mirror Left in the Folk

A child stood quietly at the head of the bed, covering his face with his hands, looking out through the gaps between his fingers, with empty eye sockets and no eyeballs.

call!
Lin Cheng sat up in fright, sweating profusely, pressing his forehead, it was extremely cold.

"It turned out to be a nightmare, a false alarm..."

Lin Cheng, who was sleeping shirtless in summer, took a deep breath, and could clearly hear his heart beating violently. At this moment, his body temperature began to rise slowly.

After a person is frightened, the bladder always swells, and there is an urgent urge to urinate. Lin Cheng gets out of bed and puts on his shoes, picks up the torch on the table and lights a candle. He wants to get the urinal but finds it is full.

Lin Cheng couldn't help cursing inwardly, how come he forgot to empty the urinal during the day, so he had to endure the pungent smell and carry the urinal outside.

Just as he was about to leave the room, he looked back at the head of the bed in a strange way, and when he saw it, a chill ran from his tailbone down his back to the back of his head, his hands trembled in fright, and the yellow water in the urinal had Half of it was sprinkled on his hands, and the room smelled immediately, and Lin Cheng ran out of the room in a panic.

I saw a pair of children's shoe prints vaguely at the head of the bed.

As soon as he ran out of the room, a gust of sultry hot wind blew right away, causing the chills on Lin Cheng's back to dissipate quickly. Lin Cheng ran to a corner of the yard and put down the candles. After urinating with one hand, he planned to go to the well to fetch water and wash his hands.

As a result, he just thought about digging well water, before he turned around, the sound of wooden buckets falling into the well came from behind him, which was particularly harsh in the quiet and dark night when everyone was sleeping soundly.

"Who...who!"

Lin Cheng suddenly turned around and looked behind him, but his movements were too large, the candle in his hand went out, and the yard behind him was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

All I could hear was movement from the mouth of the well, and the sound of water splashing, as if something was crawling out of the mouth of the well along the rope of the bucket.

Lin Cheng was so frightened that his face was pale and his head was sweating profusely. He hurriedly went to look for Huozhe, only to find that he was sleeping shirtless. Where was the Huozzi on him? The Huozzi was still on the table in the room.

Looking in the direction of the room, he subconsciously thought of the nightmare just now. Hearing the movement at the bottom of the well, he was getting closer and closer to the mouth of the well. He only heard his mother yell, and opened the door to escape from the yard.

As soon as he escaped from the courtyard, he found that the road in front of him was not the main road, but a small alley with high walls, green brick walls, deep, narrow and dark, and I don't know how long it was. It was depressing and gloomy, as if it could lead directly to the most terrifying hell.

"Gudong!"

Lin Cheng swallowed heavily. He ran out of the house with his upper body naked, trembling timidly in the dark night, with flustered eyes.

Just when he took a step back and wanted to go home again, boom!
There was the sound of a bucket falling from the yard behind him.

It was something from the bottom of the well that had climbed up along the rope.

Lin Chengah screamed in panic, and ran into the depths of the high wall alley in a panic.

This oppressive, narrow, deep, dark, and quiet alley with high walls seems to have no end. Lin Cheng ran straight for a long time without encountering a door. The only sound of his frantic footsteps in the alley.

Lin Cheng ran around in a panic in the dark night, his heart beating wildly, praying over and over again that if this is a nightmare, please let him wake up as soon as possible!

The high-walled alley was so dark that he didn't notice anyone in front of him, he bumped into someone, and he staggered back a few steps.

The person opposite was directly knocked down by him, and the basket in his hand rolled to the side. It was too dark in the small alley to see what fell out.

Lin Cheng panicked and stepped forward to help, but he only stretched out his hand halfway before he realized that this place itself is not normal. Could the people he met here be normal and living people?
Just when Lin Cheng was hesitating to withdraw his hand, snap, a hand as skinny as a chicken's claw firmly grasped Lin Cheng's wrist. The next moment, Lin Cheng saw an old woman's face with wrinkles like orange peel, The old woman's bloodshot eyes seemed to stare at him.

"Have you seen my grandson?"

"Have you seen my grandson?"

The old woman grabbed Lin Cheng's wrist tightly, her sharp nails dug into the flesh, and bright red blood flowed out, Lin Cheng screamed in pain.

When people are in crisis, they will burst out with great potential. Looking at the crazy woman who looks like she wants to eat people, Lin Cheng doesn't know where his strength is. Deep in the wall alley.

Running back, he may encounter unknown things crawling out of the well, and there may be a child without eyes hiding in his room, so Lin Cheng can only bite the bullet and continue running deep into the high-walled alley .

I don't know how long he ran this time, but when he was so tired that he was about to despair, suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in front of his eyes, and Lin Cheng was overjoyed, like a drowning person suddenly grabbing a life-saving straw and trying to hold on to it desperately.

No matter what is waiting for him there, it is better than running endlessly in the alley of depression.

After running close, he realized that it was the candlelight shining through the crack of the door. This was the first door he saw in the high-walled alley. He immediately knocked on the door in panic and asked for help: "Help! Is there anyone here?" Help me, someone has been chasing me!"

As soon as he knocked on the door, the door creaked open. It turned out that the door was ajar.

Lin Cheng ran in in a panic, slammed the door, and then lay down behind the door to eavesdrop on the movement outside for a while. After a while, there was no movement outside the door, and he was relieved.

At this time, he had the opportunity to turn around and look at the environment.

As a result, when he saw this, he was stunned. In the room with simple furnishings, there was a person who was tied to a wooden chair, his hands were tied behind the back of the chair, his head was covered with a burlap bag, the burlap bag was covered with blood, and the air was mixed. With a trace of blood.

When the bound person heard the door closing, he began to struggle, whimpering excitedly, his mouth under the sack should have been gagged.

"Are you also bound to this ghostly place for no reason like me? I'll come to rescue you right away!" Lin Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to untie the rope and went to pick the sack.

……

……

Jiangzhou prefecture city.

The summer is scorching hot and the sky is cloudless. A regular visitor to the Wu Zang Taoist Temple today is Shen Zhuxiao who runs a pawn shop and has been to Fenghuang Town with Jin An.

"Did Benefactor Shen receive some strange pawns again, and came to ask my little brother to give you palm eyes again?" In the main hall of the Five Viscera Taoist Temple, the old Taoist had time to say hello to Shen Zhuxiao after unwrapping the pilgrims' lottery.

Shen Zhuxiao stretched out a thumb, saying that Daoist Jin'an and Daoist Chen not only saved my two brothers' lives, they were like recreating parents, and they also knew that my two brothers were like fathers.

The old Taoist was choked by Shen Zhuxiao's words and coughed, and hurriedly said no, no, don't be so polite, I can't afford a son as old as you.

"The little brother is bathing the sheep in the backyard to cool off the summer heat. Benefactor Shen can go directly to the backyard to find my little brother."

Shen Zhuxiao thanked the old Taoist priest, took out a few copper coins and put them in the merit box, worshiped several gods devoutly, and then walked to the backyard of the Taoist temple with a wrapped light car.

Since the last time the two brothers received embroidered shoes that would run around by themselves in the middle of the night, and almost put their lives toss in Phoenix Town, the brothers Shen Zhuxiao have become devout pilgrims and frequent business customers of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple.

The pious pilgrims are because the Taoist temple of the five internal organs has saved their brothers' lives. Well, as he said just now, it is like recreating their parents.

As for the regular customers of this business, it is natural that every time they receive some antiques that they are not sure about, they will come to Jin'an to help them palm their eyes, so as not to receive some evil things to toss the two brothers.

This is what it means to be afraid of well ropes once bitten by a snake for ten years, and you are really afraid of being tossed.

As for giving up the business, it is impossible to give up.

If Nuo Da's ancestral business is lost in the hands of their brothers, how can they have the face to face their ancestors.

Every time Shen Zhuxiao sees the goat in the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs, he can't help but sigh, is this really a goat?

Sure enough, only an expert like Daoist Jin'an can raise such a bony cattle and sheep!

"Hey, brother Shen is here again, and this time he brought something strange that we haven't seen before?" Shen Zhuxiao has been to the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs several times, and he is somewhat familiar with Fatty Li who eats and drinks in the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs. The two greeted each other familiarly.

The goat shook its body, splashing water, then picked up a carrot and brought it to Shen Zhuxiao, as if urging Shen Zhuxiao to quickly take out the big baby for everyone to see.

Shen Zhuxiao couldn't help sighing again in his heart, is this really a fucking sheep?He believed that it was a person dressed in sheep's clothing, but he didn't believe it was a sheep!

"Hello Brother Yang." Shen Zhuxiao greeted the goat, he really regarded the goat as a human being, and dared not look down on anyone around Jin An, even the head sheep.

"There aren't many things today, just three." Shen Zhuxiao knew that Jin An was busy with work, so he didn't procrastinate, and put the wrapping in his hand on the stone table to untie it.

They are an antique jade bracelet, a night pearl, and a mirror.

Shen Zhuxiao introduced one by one: "It is said that this ancient jade bracelet was an old lady's favorite thing during her lifetime. Unfortunately, she met an unfilial son who became addicted to gambling. He couldn't wait to take off the jade bracelet as soon as the old lady was mad. I am a pawnbroker, and this jade bracelet is indeed of some value. It can be seen that it came from a poor family. Daoist Jin'an helped me to see if there is any problem with this ancient jade bracelet. I don't know if it is because of my psychology. This ancient jade bracelet feels very cold to the touch. If the old lady is not willing to die, I just ask the old lady to be wronged and owe her debts. It is his son who killed him because of his unfilial piety. It has nothing to do with me. I am a businessman .”

"This night pearl looks a little strange, with a white spot in the middle, resembling a cat's eyes. Some high-ranking officials and nobles who like cats like this kind of rare stuff. If you meet the right person, you can sell it for a good price. Please also ask Priest Jin'an Help me see if there is anything wrong with this cat's-eye black night pearl? Don't mistake the cat's eye for a night pearl, you must have missed it!"

"This mirror is inlaid with some silver materials, so it is worth some money. The mirror itself is worthless, but the silver after smelting is valuable. However, the shape of this mirror is a bit creepy. I dare not use it for smelting before I make up my mind. ..."

Jin An picked up the items one by one to check, and found that there was nothing wrong with the ancient jade bracelet, and there was no lingering resentment.

It is said that jade can nourish people. If jade is worn for a long time, jade will be divided into yin and yang, male and female just like people.This ancient jade bracelet should be the family heirloom of the old lady. It is only passed on to women and not to men, and only to daughter-in-law and not to outsiders. Therefore, it is suitable for women to wear and can nourish yin and nourish qi.Competing with a man's masculine fire.

As for the Dark Night Pearl, this is a flawed Dark Night Pearl with some impurities. If it falls into the hands of a certain group of people, it is a rare cat's-eye Dark Night Pearl, which is very valuable.Nothing to do with cat eyeballs.

When it was the mirror's turn, Jin An hummed?With his current keen sense, he immediately noticed something weird about this mirror.

He had just picked up the mirror when Fatty Li, who was sitting beside him, suddenly screamed and pointed to the back of the mirror.

Jin An turned around curiously, and immediately frowned. There was no landscape or auspicious beast engraved on the back of the mirror, but a human face was engraved on the back of the mirror. It was indeed as creepy as Shen Zhuxiao said.

Human face mirror!

Fatty Li wanted to come over to the human face mirror at this time. After careful observation, he said with certainty: "This is the human face mirror together with the human face stone and the human face square tripod!"

Unexpectedly, there are still human mirrors left behind among the people. Both of them showed surprised expressions. They have always been curious. What is the purpose of the people from Tianshi Mansion to go to the government office to take these things?
Shen Zhuxiao looked at the reaction of the two in amazement, and asked cautiously: "Master Jin'an, brother Li, do you know the origin of this creepy mirror?"

Jin An asked about the origin of this mirror, who took it to a pawn shop?

Seeing Jin An's expression changed, Shen Zhuxiao slapped his thigh and exclaimed excitedly: "I knew I was right! When that person came to Dian this morning, he looked flustered and ugly. I could see him right away. It must have provoked something unclean!"

Jin An: "What's going on?"

Shen Zhuxiao thought about it carefully and said: "The person who came to pawn this mirror is surnamed Lin, a native of Fucheng. It is said that this mirror was picked up on the road, but I saw that he faltered and looked flustered. He probably said it casually. Nonsense, why haven't I picked up such a beautiful thing as silver falling from the sky?"

Jin An: "When did he pawn?"

Shen Zhuxiao: "Just pawned it this morning."

Shen Zhuxiao added cautiously: "In order to prevent someone from selling stolen goods of unknown origin, the pawn has the specific identity information of the pawn registered, so that the yamen can trace the source when investigating the case. If the Taoist priest of Jin'an needs his address, I will Get the register at the pawn shop at once."

In the end, Jin An went to the pawn shop with Shen Zhuxiao.

Fatty Li is naturally indispensable for this kind of fun. After explaining to the old Taoist priest, the three of them left the Taoist temple of the five internal organs and went straight to the pawn shop.

The pawn shop opened by the Shen brothers is a century-old brand based on honesty, and it is quite well-known in Fucheng. As soon as Shen Zhuxiao returned to the shop, he asked the shopkeeper to fetch the pawnbroker register.

The elder brother Shen Xianhai, who happened to be tallying the goods in the store, saw his younger brother bringing Jin An to the store, so he hurried out to greet the customers.

After listening to his brother's general description, saying that there was a big problem with the face mirror that was just received this morning, Shen Xianhai also became nervous.

The information of the pawn will be quickly found.

The other party's full name is Lin Cheng.
