Holy Bone

Chapter 895 Cixintang, husband and wife

Faced with the surprised gazes of Jin An and the others, Zhang Hu briefly explained that their family lived nearby, and that a homicide had just occurred in Yu's house, and he immediately found them and reported the case.

After listening to the explanation, the old Taoist and Jin An looked at each other, and then said solemnly: "My little brother and I found Yufu by following the divination on the compass."

Compass divination?

Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao were astonished. As expected, there is no Taoist priest in the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera.

As the saying goes, it is better to come by chance than to come well. If this is not a heavenly man, what is it?
In fact, the Luogeng jade plate did not predict that people would die tonight in Yufu. The old Taoist priest had just repaired the Luogeng jade plate, an artifact, and wanted to try to see how effective it was, so he thought of using the Luogeng jade plate to predict the whereabouts of the last evil spirit of Huanyang.

At first, Luo Geng's jade plate didn't respond too much, until the old Taoist had an idea and put the evil spirit talisman with the aura of an evil weapon on Luo Geng's jade plate, and finally had a big reaction, guiding them all the way to Yufu.As a result, as soon as he arrived at the Yu Mansion, Jin An, who had a keen sense of consciousness, could see at a glance that there was a haze over the Yu Mansion, as if someone was feeling dejected.

The Wu Zang Daoist Temple now cooperates with the government and the people, and has a deep relationship, so it also has some privileges in Jiangzhou Prefecture. For example, it is not restricted by the local curfew, as long as it is reported to the Yamen in time for an explanation the next day.

The things involved in Luo Gengyu's dish were more complicated. The old Taoist priest didn't explain too much to the brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao.

A group of people said as they walked, when they saw the spontaneously ignited evil spirit talisman, Jin An and the old Taoist had different expressions. Jin An looked at the old Taoist, and the old Taoist looked at the Luo Geng jade plate in his hand, both of them were surprised." God."

As the housekeeper of Yu's house, I have heard about various deeds of Jin'an for a long time. The people who heard it were indeed Daoist Jin'an and Daoist Chen of the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera. He didn't dare to be negligent, and led the way respectfully, fearing that he would bump into the two masters in front of him.

Concubine's room.

When he saw the bones on the bed, the old Taoist frowned.

Based on the experience of the old Taoist priest, he recognized at a glance that the bones were left over from being gnawed, and some teeth marks were found on the bones.

The old Taoist's words were approved by brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao.

The old housekeeper and the Yu family who were on the side almost fainted from fright when they heard that Master Yu could eat people. The family members of Master Yu seemed unable to accept the cruel fact that the person next to him could eat people, and started to make a fuss, and were finally shocked by Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao.

"Nonsense, whoever dares to obstruct the government's handling of the case will deliberately destroy the evidence at the scene, cover up the real culprit, and first take him to the prison and torture him for seven days!"

"Wu Zang Dao Temple has solved strange cases in Jiangzhou Prefecture in the past few months, and it is well-known. You can question the wrong statements of Daoist Jin'an and Chen Daochang, but you must not obstruct the normal handling of the case by the government. Wu Zang Dao Temple is a well-known expert invited by the Yamen to assist in handling the case. , This is an oral order issued by Lord Fuyin himself, do you even want to go against what Lord Fuyin said!"

With this set of official authority suppressed, it turns out that the Yu family is much more honest, and Jin'an and the old Taoist are still handling the case in Yu's mansion.

"There is an accident in Yu's house tonight. As a relative, it is inevitable to be emotional. I know that what happened to Mr. Yu is unimaginable, but the benefactor also saw it just now. The evil spirit talisman spontaneously ignited. There was a gathering in this room. I am afraid that Master Yu’s matter is not as simple as going crazy suddenly, but more like he has provoked something, causing him to be caught by something unclean.” The two brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao sang black faces, and the old Taoist sang red faces, After comforting the Yu family, the mood of the Yu family was stable, and their resistance to Jin'an and the old Taoist was much less. When they heard that their master might have provoked something unclean, the female family members all turned pale with fright, and hurriedly asked Can Taoist Chen have a way to exorcise evil spirits?Help the Yu family find their master?

"When I was outside the mansion just now, the old Taoist saw two big stone lions at the gate of Yu's house, and there was also a door god couplet made by the master on the door. It should be said that ordinary mountain spirits and wild monsters cannot enter Yu's mansion, so only One possibility! It was brought in by someone!" The old Taoist looked serious.

Ah!
The Yu family hurriedly separated themselves.

The old Taoist explained: "Someone may not have brought it in intentionally, but it may have been brought into the mansion unintentionally, such as picking up some weird things outside or buying something dark."

Then the old Taoist asked everyone if Master Yu had come into contact with any weird things or weird people recently.

The family members shook their heads, all asking three questions.

The old Taoist groaned for a while, and then asked Master Yu if he had shown any unusual behavior recently?
The members of the Yu family gave the same answer. Mr. Yu has been normal recently, eating, drinking and sleeping normally, and his body has not shown any strange behaviors.

The old Taoist was surprised, and then asked the Yu family if they had bought any new items recently, such as new clothes, new tea, what to eat and drink, focusing on thinking about things related to eating in the stomach.The exuberant human yang fire itself can resist ordinary evil winds entering the body, unless the disease enters through the mouth, it will allow Master Yu to have evil spirits enter the heart in a very short period of time, without even a slight warning in advance.

The old housekeeper suddenly said: "Speaking of this, I think of one thing!"

"About ten days ago... the master returned home with a happy face, and said that he came across a top-quality wild ginseng on the way home, which seemed to be a couple's ginseng. The master cooked it himself like a treasure, and never let it go. My servant will drink a bowl of ginseng soup every night before going to bed to nourish the spirit."

"It's just... the white marble porcelain bowl that Daoist Jin'an is holding in his hand."

The old butler was standing in front of the table with his finger and was playing with a porcelain bowl back and forth. The old Taoist priest, brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao all came over and asked Jin An if he had discovered anything?
Jin An spread out his palms: "Old Daoist, let me borrow your evil spirit talisman."

The old Taoist priest took out a stack of talisman papers from the Tai Chi gossip bag with both hands. Brother Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao were stunned and looked envious. The old Taoist licked his fingers, took out a stack of talisman papers and handed it to Jin An .

Jin An glanced at the old Taoist speechlessly: "It's time for the old Taoist to talk about hygiene."

When Jin An approached the evil spirit talisman in his hand to the porcelain bowl, the talisman paper first emitted green smoke, as if stimulated, and then spontaneously ignited without fire.

"It seems that the source is from the couple's ginseng."

Jin An looked at the old housekeeper: "Did your master say where to put the rest of the couple's ginseng?"

The old butler shook his head, but he gave another clue: "I remember the master once mentioned that the couple's ginseng was bought from Cixintang."

Zhang Hu explained that the Cixin Hall is not far from Yu's house, only a few streets away, but it is the only way for Master Yu to go home.

Jin An nodded thoughtfully, and then he performed a qi-watching technique on the entire Yu Mansion, and found a place with stagnant yin, which was the husband and wife ginseng that was hidden deeply by Master Yu.

Husband and wife ginseng is like a man and a woman embracing, there is me in you, and you are in my embrace, and they are inseparable.There has always been a saying among rural elders that when a thing starts to look like a human, it is time to become a spirit.

Now, one-third of the husband and wife's ginseng has been cut off, and it is estimated that it entered Master Yu's stomach.

When Jin An found this couple's ginseng, there was only an ordinary mountain ginseng left, with only a little yin energy left.

It seems that all the evil spirits in the couple's ginseng have entered Master Yu's belly.

Just when Jin An, the old Taoist priest, Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao left Yu Mansion to go to the Cixin Hall to track down clues, the nearby yamen who received the report brought many Xiang Yong to Yu Mansion to investigate the case.

Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao stepped forward to communicate a few words, during which they showed the evil spirit talisman left after the spontaneous combustion to the yamen servant who rushed over.

So the team expanded to more than [-] people and went straight to the Cixin Hall.

However, the investigation into the city was not smooth. The shopkeeper of Cixintang said that Mr. Yu had never bought any couple's ginseng from them.During the interrogation period, no matter how the yamen servants interrogated him, Cixintang firmly insisted that Master Yu's couple's ginseng was not bought from them.

Seeing that the interrogation was fruitless, Zhang Hu came to Jin An and said in a low voice, "Master Jin An, based on my experience in interrogating people for many years, it seems that the shopkeeper of Cixin Hall is not lying. Know."

"Could it be that the old butler of the Yu family deliberately lied about his address to deceive us? He was trying to find a chance to escape? The Yali has also handled several cases of house robbers like this."

The night was lonely, the streets were dark, empty, and quiet. Except for a few families who were woken up to light up candles, most of the people were sleeping deeply.

There were a few barking dogs in the middle of the night, giving this empty and dark street a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.

After Jin An looked around, he showed a thoughtful look: "If the old housekeeper didn't lie, and he didn't get it wrong, Master Yu did indeed buy the couple's ginseng at Cixintang. And the manager of Cixintang didn't lie, Master Yu was indeed not there Cixintang bought ginseng for couples. So who is lying?"

"Perhaps man is not lying, but his eyes are deceived?"

He came to a small alley next to the Cixin Hall and stopped, staring deeply at the deep alley, as if he wanted to see what was at the end of the dark alley.

"Brother Zhang, ask the shopkeeper if anything unusual has happened in this small alley." Jin An turned to look at Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu doesn't need to ask the shopkeeper. As a local, he knows this place best: "I know this. Three years ago, there was a robbery and murder case in a small alley. Two households. Although the murderer has been arrested and executed at Caishikou, the people living nearby are still full of taboos about this small alley. The local yamen has brought in a mage to perform rituals several times, but the suspicion of the people still cannot be eliminated. During the day, few people enter and exit this alley, and at night, there are even fewer people. Even the business of the Cixin Hall has been affected. .”

Zhang Hu firmly believed that Jin An was a master of Daoism who lived in the city. When Jin An suddenly asked about the small alley, his heart moved: "Master Jin'an is more capable than ordinary people like us, did he see something?"

Jin An pondered, then turned to look at the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, do you still remember the ghost village we experienced when we were in Chang County? People who are not dying, seriously injured, and people with weak yang energy can't see it."

"Old Daoist, let me borrow your copper coin unearthed from the ground."

Jin'an's physical body is too high-level, and his body is too full of yang energy. Even if he uses the breath-holding technique to restrain the yang energy, reduce the blood flow rate, and reduce the vigorousness of the blood energy, he must use some foreign props to suppress the last bit of yang energy.

Before putting the copper coins into his mouth, Jin An asked the yamen servants to tell the shopkeeper of the Cixin Hall to close the door and go back to sleep. No matter what you hear later, don't be curious and open the window to peek. If something happens in the middle, you will be responsible for the consequences.

After listening to the yamen servant's words, the face of the shopkeeper of Cixin Hall turned green immediately: "Oh my god! I knew that the fortune of the past three years has been memorized, and it must have something to do with this alley. Daoist Jin'an, you concentrate on setting up altars and casting spells, and change the Ming Dynasty. I am a pilgrim of the Five Viscera Taoist Temple, and I will definitely go to the Five Viscera Taoist Temple to burn a few more sticks of incense for the two Taoist priests!"

The shopkeeper was timid, he slammed the door as soon as he finished speaking, and he was determined not to hear anything outside the window.

Ah.

Everyone was amused by the shopkeeper of Cixintang, which temporarily relieved the tension in their hearts.

Jin An put the copper coin into his mouth, pressed his tongue against the muddy copper coin, suppressed the last bit of blood in his body, and constantly adjusted the breath of life. The blood on his face faded, and his complexion became pale. When he opened his eyes and looked in front of him again, his eyes turned cold.

At this time, the old Taoist also took out a few things from his bag of treasures, Tai Chi and Eight Diagrams, including eye drops, stuffing yellow charms into the ears and eyes to seal the seven orifices, and eating raw rice in the middle of the night. , his face was paler than Jin An's.

After finishing all this work, the old Taoist stared at the small alley in front of him again, and gasped: "My mother!"

The rest of the yamen servants and village braves were very itchy and asked curiously what they saw, hoping that the old Taoist would help them open their eyes and let them see the world.

Facing the requests from the yamen servants and the village braves, the old Taoist priest shook his head: "You are wearing official uniforms, you can't do it, but brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao can try it."

Hearing this, Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao beamed with joy, and they all took the initiative to ask for the opening of their eyes.

"This is the tears of an old cow that can temporarily open the eyes of the living; this is the meal on the grave. The living borrows a mouthful of food from the dead. Don't swallow it. You will have to return it later. As the saying goes, 'If you have borrowed, you will borrow it again. It's not difficult'; come on, put these yellow talismans into the ears and noses to prevent the yang energy from leaking and being sucked into the yang energy."

When the old Taoist taught Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao how to do it, he showed nostalgia: "The 30-year-old corpse oil is still easy to use. You only need three drops of corpse oil on the top of your head and shoulders, and the effect is immediate. It's a pity that it's all used in the corpse village... ..."

"?"

In the quiet street late at night, the yamen servants and village braves all shivered, and felt a little chill in the back of their heads.

Corpse village!
It's not a normal place at first glance!
When Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao looked palely at the Ci Xin Tang in front of them, their expressions changed dramatically.

In the silence of the night, the Cixintang, which was originally closed for rest, reopened for business at this time, and the three words Cixintang on the plaque of the medicine hall became——

Eat heart!
In the middle of the night, there were two pale white lanterns hanging in front of the medicine hall, flickering from light to light, shining on the faces of the brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao, making their complexions even paler.

What kind of world is this!
At this moment, the two brothers felt that all the sweltering heat of the summer had been swept away, and a chill emerged in their hearts. Their scalps were tingling and they followed Jin An and the old Taoist priest into the Heart-eating Hall.

The four of them had just entered the Chixin Hall, and in the eyes of those yamen servants and Xiangyong who had not opened their eyes, they turned into four people and disappeared out of thin air, with everyone's expressions flustered and terrified.
