Bone Picker

Chapter 19 Mu'er Zhenjun
The Taoist priest's left hand holds the sword finger, pointing to the head of the coffin, while holding a sword in his right hand, the point of the sword also points to the head of the coffin.

Looking at this posture, it turned out to be an attack on the things in the coffin.

The Taoist priest has been roasted into a mummified corpse, so his whole body is stiff and his posture is fixed.

His whole body is only skin and bones, his face is dark and shiny, and his eye sockets are dark, but he can still see the sharp eyes in his life.

There is only a layer of skin on the face sticking to the bones, and the traces of the teeth are reflected.

It’s also because I’m a bone picker, and I’ve been used to picking up bones with my grandfather since I was a child, and I would have been scared to death if I had to change to someone else.

I saw Zibuyu holding the Ziwu formula and saluting the Taoist mummy.

"What's the situation?" I asked Xiang Zi silently.

"This brick kiln is the dojo for this senior to suppress evil. There must be a powerful evil spirit in this coffin. Otherwise, the Taoist priest would not have to set up such a three-talented fire formation, and even sacrifice himself to die with this evil spirit." The child sighed silently. tone.

"To die together? Does this mean that the Taoist priest was also sealed here alive?"

"Yes, it must be the meaning of the Taoist priest himself. This is the righteousness of the Tao. If you were an ordinary person, who would dare to face life and death like this, and who would give up his life for righteousness and do justice for the heavens?"

After listening to Zi Silence, I also bowed down to salute the Taoist priest.

"We've caused a big problem this time." Zi Buyu suddenly said, "It's fine if the evil in this coffin is extinct. If it's not dead, we probably won't be able to deal with it."

"I have been picking bones for so many years, and I have seen eighty if not a hundred coffins. This is the first time I have seen this coffin. The gap was poured with molten iron and completely welded to death."

"This shows that the evil spirit in the coffin is very strong. I hope that the Lihuo that has been going on for many years has completely killed it, so that the sacrifice of the senior is not in vain." After finishing speaking, Zibu touched the skirt of the Taoist priest and said, "I See if the Taoist priest has left a message for the entrants."

After a while, he really took out a piece of greasy stuff from his skirt.

It was a piece of cloth, but it had been soaked with the oil of the mummy.

Zibuyu opened the cloth and found that there was a layer of oil paper inside.

The oil paper has been roasted very crisply, and it makes a clicking sound when it is taken apart.

Inside is a kraft paper-colored envelope, and the envelope reads: The burglar will personally open it.

Zibuyu opened the envelope, and there were several pieces of letter paper inside, which was also very dry. The calligraphy on the letter had turned yellow and doubled, but the content was still visible:
Pindao is Ma Puzhen, a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain. He has traveled so far, just in time for the remnants of the White Lotus Sect to harm the common people. His creation of the Five Elements and Five Evils is actually an evil spirit that spreads the plague. The evil spirit sealed in this coffin is one of the Five Elements and Five Evils, Mu'er True Monarch, Pindao tried his best to subdue him, but failed to kill him completely, so he set up the Heaven, Earth and Human Trinity Lihuo Formation, hoping to kill him with Youyou Lihuo.

When you enter this brick kiln, it means that the big formation has been broken. The poor Taoist is worried that the evil creature in the coffin is still alive. If you are also a member of the Taoist sect, you can paste the evil spirit talisman on the coffin. If the coffin shakes, it means that the evil spirit is not dead. , find a way to re-seal it as soon as possible, if you are not a member of the Taoist sect, please bring this letter quickly and ask someone capable to handle this matter.

Signed by Ma Puzhen.

"It's really poking a hornet's nest..." I touched my nose, and glanced at the serious-faced Zi Yu who said nothing.

"Since we met, it is destined, let's try first." After speaking, Zibuyu put away the letter, and then took out the amulet from his pocket, unexpectedly he actually carried it with him.

With plausible words in his mouth, he pasted the talisman on the coffin, three in a row.

After three posters were posted, the coffin did not move.

Zibuyu heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Xie Chong should be dead. Senior Ma Puzhen didn't sacrifice in vain. This day, the three of heaven, earth, and man are so heroic. When there is heaven, there is earth, and people are needed, so Ma Puzhen Senior Puzhen came down in person, and I don't know who created this formation back then."

"Then how do we deal with it now?" It stands to reason that these are all cultural relics and have to be handed over to the relevant departments for research.

But this is a special and dangerous thing, not of high value. If it is handed over to the cultural relics department rashly, they may not accept it, and it may cause trouble.

Mu Nanping's clothes tomb was dug up, and they said it had no archaeological value, so they ignored it.

"Get them up first and then talk about it."

"Ah."

Zibuyu and I spent a lot of effort to pull Ma Puzhen and the black coffin out.

"Bring it back to your villa first, put it in the basement, and let's study how to get it done."

"Okay." I agreed, but I always felt a little weird. I don't have any problems bringing this thing home. If I was touched by those girls, I wouldn't be scared to death.

The basement of the villa is huge. I found a secret room and put the coffin in it.

Fortunately, those five girls were not alarmed, and they didn't care much about my affairs, and they wouldn't come down from the basement at all.

"How about this, I will bring the letter and the remains of the Taoist priest Ma Puzhen back to Wudang Mountain, you take good care of this coffin." Zibuyu looked at the remains of the Taoist priest Ma Puzhen.

"Okay." I nodded. I'm not afraid that the evil spirits here are not dead. Our Li family also has many spells to deal with zombie evil spirits. This so-called True Lord Mu'er should be such a thing.

Zibuyu was also straightforward, directly found a piece of cloth, wrapped Ma Puzhen's remains and carried them on his back, the remains were light and there was not much weight left.

After going out, he put the remains in the back of the car and drove away.

The car was bought by Di's family. It is estimated that he will drive to Wudang. After all, with the remains, other modes of transportation are not easy.

I went back to the basement and looked at the dark coffin. There was an indescribable smell on it. Although it was not very strong, I could smell it as soon as I approached the coffin.

The floor of the brick kiln should be covered with cinnabar and charcoal powder, all for the formation, so when the water is washed down, it will be blood red water.

This smell is mixed with the smell of cinnabar and charcoal, as well as the smell from the coffin. The combination of several smells is really unpleasant.

"Five Elements and Five Evils True Monarch?" Why do I feel that this name is a bit familiar?I touched my chin, as if I had heard it somewhere, and I was a little impressed, but not very deep.

I went back to the study to look through the ancient books left by my ancestors.

After searching for a while, I found relevant content in a secret book called "Li Huai's Puppet Art".

This Li Huai is an ancestor of our Li family, and this book was created by him, which means that this 'Five Elements and Five Evils True Monarch' technique was created by him.

Moreover, this spell is also a secret technique handed down in the family, and it is not taught to the outside world.

So is the Mu'er Zhenjun in the basement made by my ancestors of the Li family?

Thinking of this, I feel bad all over.

Ma Puzhen said in the letter that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect have caused troubles to the common people, and that Master Mu'er was controlled by the White Lotus Sect. Could it be that Li Huai is also a member of the White Lotus Sect?

Are my ancestors villains?

I continued to search for other classics, and sure enough I found some clues.

Our Li family does have some relationship with the White Lotus Sect, but the purpose of the White Lotus Sect to create this Five Elements and Five Evils True Monarch was to deal with the Qing army, who was in power at that time.

Using the Five Elements and Five Evils True Monarch, who has a virus on his body, and then spread the disease among the Qing army, it can greatly injure the Qing army and reduce the combat effectiveness of the Qing army.

But the epidemic is not something that can be controlled by humans. When it was spread to the soldiers of the Qing army, it was also accidentally infected to the people, causing a large number of civilian casualties.

Thinking about it this way, when Li Huai made this thing, it was just as a battlefield weapon, but it was beyond the controllable range and brought disaster to the people.

Thinking of this, my heart also feels better.

This is also destined, as if it has been arranged in the dark.

The Mu'er Zhenjun made by the ancestor Li Huai was sealed by the Taoist priest Ma Puzhen. Hundreds of years later, I accidentally dug it out and finally fell into my hands.
