Holy Bone

Chapter 885

After the old Taoist distributed homemade detoxification pills to the villagers, everyone filed into the house.

Oddly enough, the alcoholic man also had a coffin in his house.

The coffin itself is not strange. The strange thing is that there are only two people in the family of an alcoholic man. The husband is eaten by his wife, and the wife is buried alive by the villagers elsewhere. So who is this coffin prepared for?
Other villagers died in their families, and relatives arranged coffins, which made sense.But the couple in this room are both dead, so who arranged for the coffin?

Because the windows were nailed up by the villagers with wooden boards, the light in the room was very dim. Even so, you could still see bloody palm prints and bloody foot prints all over the room, and there were long bloodstains on the ground when people were dragged.

However, the source of the stench did not come from these bloodstains and the coffin, but from another place. Jin An did not touch the coffin for the time being, but walked towards the source of the stench.

When they came to the stove, they saw that blood was flowing everywhere. The stove, kitchen knives, cutting boards, and the ground were all covered with blood, which accumulated thickly, like a bloody slaughterhouse.

The corner where firewood should have been piled up was replaced by piles of human bones.

After so many years, the thick blood stains on the stove and the ground have long since become as black as ink, and some human hair, teeth, etc. can still be seen in the blood stains. The source of the stench in the house comes from these blood stains and bones.

The mortician explained from time to time: "This is the place where the crazy wife eats her husband, and the human bones piled up next to her include her husband's and stolen corpses that she ate after she got pica. "

"I wasn't there back then, but later I heard people say that the scene was much more horrific than it is now. The whole room was full of blood, minced meat, intestines and offal, and the stove was full of unfinished limbs and broken arms... I heard that even kitchen knives can chop bones and have sharp blades.”

The words of the mortician made the villagers shudder, their expressions were tense, and they stammered, Master Cai, please stop talking about it, this matter is too evil and scary.

They searched around the alcoholic man's house, but also did not find the missing child, so they walked back to the coffin at the door.

"Aren't you wondering who is lying in this coffin?"

"The alcoholic husband was eaten by his wife, and the wife was buried alive by the villagers elsewhere. The couple died without any other concerns. Why is there a coffin in the house? I think this coffin is definitely not for husbands and wives. .”

Jin An sneered, and before the mortician could stop him, he slapped the coffin lid flying with his palm.

The hundred-jin coffin was covered under his palm, as if it had no weight, it was slapped flying by his palm, and it hit the wall vertically with a bang.

The coffin is empty.

But the careful Jin'an discovered that there were indentations left by people lying in the coffin for a long time. There were people in the coffin, but they were moved away later.

"Daoist Jin'an, what's in this coffin? Are there... dead people?" Some villagers asked cautiously.

Jin An said, "This is an empty coffin."

Hearing that it was an empty coffin, the villagers dared to look inside boldly. Seeing that it was really an empty coffin, these villagers breathed a sigh of relief.But the parents of the missing children became very anxious again, and failed one after another. They haven't found the children yet. Where are the children hidden?
Jin An didn't speak, but pushed away the coffins of other villagers' homes one after another, and found that the coffins were all empty!
But they all have one thing in common, that is, there are indentations in the coffin, which proves that there was someone inside before!

The mortician showed a surprised expression: "Why are these coffins empty!"

Jin An glanced at the mortician with a half-smile, and then asked the mortician to lead the way and lead them to the place where his mad wife was buried alive. He planned to see if there was anything unusual about that place.

The buried alive was not a village cemetery, but buried alive in a random forest.

Obviously, the few villagers who buried her alive didn't want a crazy woman to disturb the peace of their ancestors, and they all thought that a crazy woman was not qualified to enter the ancestral land for burial.

It is said that the places where people are buried have sufficient nutrients, and the surrounding shrubs will grow luxuriantly. They realized that the closer they walked into the forest, the taller and denser the surrounding trees would be. A mist began to form in the air.

This time, they were still in vain. It wasn't that the corpse was dug up, but that they didn't find the right place even after digging a few pits.

"It may be that time has passed too long, people are old, and my memory has gone backwards. I have misremembered the place."

The mortician said embarrassingly, "If we dig a few more places, people should be buried alive around here..."

The mortician directed the villagers to continue digging in different places.

"Old Taoist, try to use Feng Shui divination method to see if you can find the corpse." Jin An took the old Taoist priest to survey the terrain nearby.

Taking advantage of the time when the two of them were alone, Jin An directly asked the old Taoist what was going on.

"Little brother, that bastard seamstress lied all over the place, all bullshit lies! This is indeed the old village of Xicai Village, but it is definitely not as simple as what he said. This is a corpse raising village hidden deep in the deep mountains and old forests." !" The old Taoist held back these words for a long time, and when Jin An asked, he immediately told all the situation he knew.

"Little brother, do you still remember that when I was in Kunlun Snow Mountain, the old Taoist once mentioned to you that when I traveled to the south of the Yangtze River in the early years, did I ever encounter a corpse village where the whole village raised corpses?"

"Grandma, Lao Dao, as soon as I saw this old village, I immediately thought of that corpse raising village! Because that corpse raising village left a deep impression on me!"

Jin An frowned and asked the old Taoist to explain the reason in detail.

At this time, the two of them turned their backs to the mortician and the villagers, and in the eyes of outsiders, they became the two of them carefully surveying the terrain and looking for clues to the burial site.

Speaking of this, we have to start with a group of tomb robbers.

Tomb robbers do the immoral thing of digging graves and exhuming corpses. Therefore, these grave robbers who often go to the cemetery have been exposed to underground yin, corpse, and burial qi for a long time. Over time, they will contract various intractable diseases and become short-lived ghosts. , This is called having money but not life.

But these are not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing is that he often steals ill-gotten wealth under the eyes of Lord Yan. Maybe one day he will open his eyes and provoke something that should not be provoked.

Later, some experts taught tomb robbers to use raising ghosts or raising dead wives to ward off disasters and disasters. This is not a big secret in the tomb robber industry.

The ancestors of this Xicai village were a group of tomb robbers. They didn't know what terrible things they had provoked. They all hid in the deep mountains and old forests to marry dead wives to help them ward off disasters and evil spirits. That's why every household has a coffin. reason.

Those lying in those coffins are all adopted dead wives.

In order to deceive others, these tomb robbers will also kidnap and sell women as living wives on the surface.

This old village was not simple at all back then. The aura of corpses soared to the sky, nourishing tall trees, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, and the sun could not be seen in broad daylight.Back then, the old Taoist only dared to watch from a distance, and did not dare to set foot in this dead body village hidden deep in the mountains, for fear that the corpse's breath would enter his body before he got close to the dead body village, and he would die suddenly of poison.

When he was in Kunlun Snow Mountain, the old Taoist also mentioned that if he also had a set of gold-threaded jade clothes back then, maybe he would also break into the corpse village and eliminate harm for the people, which would be a great merit...

Being able to see the aura of corpses soaring into the sky during the daytime, this is already a thousand-year-old corpse king who has been involved in the disaster level. The old Taoist priest's decision not to rush into the corpse village was undoubtedly very correct.

"Old Taoist, I thought that this place might become a bigger disaster after so many years, but I didn't expect why the dead corpse village didn't raise corpses back then? Where did the dead wife of a village go? Why did those grave robbers move to the village later? Go out and live incognito?"

"Looking at the disposition of the mortician, it doesn't seem like he abandons evil and pursues good, and turns to good. What happened to the Corpse Raising Village decades ago?"

The old Taoist frowned tightly, this matter made him taciturn and puzzled all the way.

Unexpectedly, Xicai Village still has so many secrets. As expected, he is an old Taoist priest who can always bring him unexpected surprises and make people look at him with admiration.

Whether it's the Jiangnan Corpse Raising Village, or Beimo's yin darts, traveling all over the world, there are no old Taoist priests who don't know about living encyclopedias and living maps.

Jin An gave the old Taoist a thumbs up without hesitation.

The old Taoist smirked happily.

"I heard that tomb robbers have been exposed to Yin Qi and corpse Qi all year round, so they can't have children. They all kill off their children and grandchildren. This can also explain why the wife of an alcoholic man will give birth to stillbirth." Jin An looked thoughtfully.

"Little brother, do you believe what the mortician said?" The old Taoist turned his head and quietly glanced at the mortician who was pretending to direct the villagers to dig a hole, and muttered in a low voice.

Jin An: "For a lie to be convincing, it needs seven parts to be true and three parts to be false. Only true and false can fulfill most of the logic."

"Domestic violence husband, poor wife, running away, giving birth to a stillborn baby in the empress temple... These things should all be true. It is only a lie that the villagers take in the domestic violence wife..."

"This poor wife should be the living wife who was kidnapped and trafficked as you said in the old way. She has always wanted to escape from this devil's den, but where can a weak woman in the deep mountains and old forests escape? A severe beating and punishment will be inevitable. This poor woman did not believe in her fate, she was caught and escaped many times, perhaps because of this, after facing the blow of stillbirth, she turned her hatred for everyone in the corpse village into eating People's obsession, this kind of obsession even feared the ruthless tomb robbers in the corpse village, and finally the whole village united to bury her alive."

After listening to Jin An's words, the old Taoist opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything, he just felt blocked in his heart and felt extremely heavy.

"Little brother, after we find her bones, let's take her out of this cage that drives people crazy." The old Taoist sighed and whispered the supreme Taiyi Du'e Tianzun.

Jin An nodded: "Well, not only take her away, but also leave with the grandma that Da Mao met here. I think this old man is also one of the poor women who were trafficked to the corpse village, because these poor people are in essence The body is very different from the people in the Corpse Raising Village. The corpse of the old man should be somewhere in the Corpse Raising Village."

The old Taoist looked over: "Then shouldn't she stay away from the corpse village? Why did she return to this nightmare cave?"

Jin An: "Maybe that's why we came to this place today, to return them the truth."

"A true filial son is beaten by thunder, and a cruel man gets rich; hemp rope is only picked at the thinnest place, and adversity is only picked on the poor; good people don't always live long, and their lives only bully the poor. The supreme Taiyi saves the poor." More, the sadness is deeper, the old Taoist's eyes are reddish and he recites the scriptures.

While the mortician was still pretending to lead people to look for the burial place, suddenly, the sound of opera and gongs and drums came from the quiet old forest.

The sudden sound made those nervous villagers who were nervously digging the ground to find the corpse scream out in fright, and their skin tingled with goosebumps.

"Where is the singing coming from?"

"Okay, it seems to come from the village..."

Da Mao's father said excitedly: "Da Mao said that when they came to the old village, there were people in the village who were setting up a stage to sing an opera. Could it be related to Da Mao and the others!"

"Let's go to the old village." Jin An and the seamstress said in unison.

The two looked at each other, and then led the villagers to the old village, more precisely, the corpse village.

Back in the corpse raising village, the sound of opera singing can be heard more clearly, and the sound of bangu and erhu is more lively. In front of the village Niangniang Temple, there is indeed a grass theater troupe, and the actors on the stage come and go, very lively.

Just as the children said, there were rows of villagers sitting in front of the stage with stiff bodies, looking at the stage expressionlessly.

Although they hid behind Jin An and the mortician because of fear, the fathers of the missing children still bravely searched for the children among the dead people who suddenly appeared.

They showed a look of surprise, and they saw the figures of three children in the crowd. The three boys ran to the first row of the crowd to watch the show like a drunk, motionless like a piece of wood.

"Big hair!"

"Ali!"

"Pillar!"

The three fathers shouted in surprise, but the three children seemed to have not heard it, and were still addicted to watching the show.

The old Taoist priest and the mortician collectively changed their faces, and asked the three of them to silence, so as not to wake up the dead.After speaking, the two nervously stared at the backs of the villagers who were sitting stiffly.

Fortunately, so many ghosts were still concentrating on watching the show and didn't turn their heads to look.

As soon as I thought of this, sitting in the first row, a woman next to the three children suddenly turned her head and looked like a ghost looking back without warning.

"Ah!" The villagers cried out with their eyes closed in fright.

That woman is actually the Empress Shan in the Empress Temple!
It was really said by the mortician that Shan Niangniang really came back to life!

However, when the villagers opened their eyes again, they found that the back of Shan Niangniang was facing them, and she was concentrating on watching the play like other villagers, as if the ghost they saw just now was an illusion?Hallucination?
These villagers are just ordinary people, who have never experienced this before, their hearts beat like drums, and they nervously told the mortician about the experience just now.

"Master Cai, were we dazzled just now? Or is it real?"

The parents of the three children begged for help: "I beg Master Cai, Daochang Chen, and Daochang Jin'an to save the children!"

The mortician stared at the back of Mistress Shan with a solemn expression, but did not speak.

"It's interesting." Jin'an showed interest, and walked towards the Niangniang Temple, asking the old Taoist to stay and take care of the villagers.
