White Bone Monkey King

The star peaks rise and fall, the dragon leaps and bounds, and the tiger runs about.

The feng shui of Guoshi's tomb is very particular, and it is a treasure land in the shape of a tiger descending from the mountain.

The tiger comes down the mountain and is released into nature.

This is a solution.

People who are buried according to this Feng Shui pattern are usually members of a large family with a big business. They want to resolve the grudges and karma during their lifetime and do not want to affect their clan members.

At the same time, the tiger descending the mountain also means a fierce tiger. The tiger is majestic and domineering. It is the king of all beasts with abundant life essence. It is the place where the pure energy of heaven and earth gathers. It has the meaning of frightening Xiaoxiao evil spirits.

When the two are combined, they have the profound meaning of understanding and blocking evil spirits. Therefore, the tiger descending the mountain Feng Shui burial method has always been deeply loved by dignitaries.

The tiger-shaped Feng Shui treasure land at the bottom of the mountain is divided into several main parts, including the dragon, the left and right tents, the tiger head, the tiger tail, and the four tiger claws.

The location of tombs is usually on the south side where feng shui is abundant.

The Imperial Master's Cemetery is on the outskirts of the capital. Several carriages from the Criminal Investigation Department braved the wind and snow and left the city overnight to rush to the Imperial Master's Cemetery.

In the middle of the carriage convoy is the Bihuan carriage driven by the commander of the Criminal Investigation Department.

The horse-drawn carriage team could not drive fast in the wind and snow, and it was bumpy all the way. It did not reach the place until dawn the next day.

Inside the Bifan carriage.

Jin An opened the curtains and saw that the wind and snow outside had calmed down a bit, not as bad as last night. He saw a mountain peak on the opposite side moving in a strange way, like a majestic tiger making a descending gesture. A pair of tiger eyes stared at the only mountain road. , which is the mountain road they are walking on now, and there is a majestic cemetery under the tiger's head.

"That's the Imperial Master's Cemetery. The weather has improved a lot now, so we should be able to get there before noon." Fatty Li leaned over and said.

Well, Jin An nodded: "It seems that someone arrived before us."

Fatty Li was surprised: "Who?"

Jin An: "The Imperial Master comes from Si Tianjian. Most of the officials in Si Tianjian are related to the Tianshi Mansion. Who else could it be? The people from the Tianshi Mansion arrived first."

Fatty Li: "Since they have already invited the Immortal of the Tianshi Mansion to investigate, why bother asking our Criminal Investigation Department to investigate this exhumation case?"

Jin An: "The Criminal Investigation Department is one of the three major judicial agencies in Kangding State after all. Some matters need to be finalized by the judicial agencies in order to stop Youyou's mouth."

Fatty Li muttered and nodded, and stopped interrupting. Jin An continued to observe the world outside.

"Is there a quarry here?" Jin An asked, pointing in one direction.

The mountain peak is steep, and one side has been hollowed out, exposing the desolate rocks, which are now covered with white snow.

Fatty Li is from the old capital and has been in the Criminal Investigation Department for many years. He is more familiar with the situation in various parts of the capital than Jin An. He explained: "Yes, there used to be a quarry there. It is said that it was haunted later, and it was quite haunted. Yes, it stopped."

"Oh, it's haunted?" Jin An became interested.

There was still a way to go anyway, so he asked Fatty Li to explain the details in detail.

Fatty Li: "That quarry has been closed for more than ten years. It is famous for producing high-quality basalt stones and is very popular among the rich in the capital."

"In the cold winter of more than ten years ago, it was snowing heavily like today. A few miners dug out a stone tomb in the quarry. They wanted to make money and did not report it to the government. They wanted to secretly embezzle the burial objects in the stone tomb."

"From that time on, people died every day in the quarry. It is said that everyone died with a smile on their face and died happily. Before they died, everyone claimed to have seen an ancient country in the stone tomb. Those who died All the lost quarry miners became citizens of the ancient country, where they married wives and had children, living happily."

"The living people don't care whether the dead are happy or not. People die every day. More than a dozen people died one after another. The people in the quarry were frightened. They were deeply afraid that it would be their turn next. No matter how hard the quarry tried to save them, everyone was afraid. He insisted on leaving the quarry. Although money is important, you have to have life to spend it. What's the use of so many coppers if your life is gone. As a result, something even more strange is yet to come... No one in the quarry ran away We have to go out, they are all dead, and their bodies are not found. The families of the deceased come to look for them every year, and it has been more than ten years since they found the bodies of their relatives."

Jin An: "Since everyone is dead, then who reported it to the official? How did those bizarre incidents in the quarry become known to the outside world?"

Fatty Li: "Actually, there is another Zhuangzi nearby. The quarry is in the west, Zhuangzi is in the east, and the Guoshi Cemetery is just in the middle, built facing the south. Now we are facing the west, and we can only see the Guoshi Cemetery and the quarry. In the stone field, we can’t see Zhuangzi for the time being, but we can see Zhuangzi when we get down from the mountain.”

"The name of this village is Caishizhuang. It is the residence of the miners and their families in the quarry. The evil things going on in the quarry were discovered by the families of Caishizhuang. At first, it snowed heavily and the mountains were closed. None of the men in the family returned to the village, so everyone did not raise any suspicions and just assumed it was because the mountain was closed due to heavy snowfall. But then the snow stopped and no one came down the mountain, so several family members went into the mountain together to look for him."

"As you can imagine, there was no one in the quarry. No one was alive or dead, and no corpses were seen. All the mules, horses, and cattle they raised froze to death in the heavy snow because no one took care of them."

"There are at least a hundred people in a quarry. It is not a trivial matter for so many people to disappear mysteriously. Li Zheng, the county government... reported it at every level, and finally it was in the hands of Dali Temple. Dali Temple sent people to investigate and found the accountant. The bizarre experiences that Mr. Wang wrote in his account books, and the twists and turns of the truth have only become known to the outside world."

According to what Fatty Li said, the Criminal Investigation Department at that time was even more weak than it is now. It was only qualified to investigate ordinary petty thefts, gangsters, and taking the blame for others. The quarry incident was a big fuss at the time, and it was not yet their turn. The Criminal Investigation Department handles the case.

Jin An: "You're so happy, that's interesting. Did Dali Temple later find out the truth and catch the real culprit?"

Fatty Li: "It seems to be related to a jade pillow stolen from the stone tomb. In the end, the quarry was blown up, the stone tomb was sealed, and the quarry was closed down to close the case."

"This case is not being investigated by the Criminal Investigation Department. All the case files are in Dali Temple. I think the specific details can only be known by asking Dali Temple."

After a while, the convoy had gone down the mountain, but Jin An did not see the quarry that Fatty Li mentioned.

Fatty Li pointed to the back of a snowy mountain and explained: "Men are the backbone of the family. All of a sudden, all men died, and the quarry became a veritable widow's village. How could those old, weak, women and children do the physical work in the quarry? Those who remarry remarry, and those who move away move away.”

"In the past few years, there were still a few families who persisted, but now it is estimated that there is no one left. It has become an empty village with no human activities. The mountains and trees have grown wildly, and the roads have slowly disappeared."

Jin An nodded thoughtfully.

Jin An: "Fat Li, please send a few brothers to go to the quarry and quarry to have a look, and then return to the National Master Cemetery to meet us."

Fatty Li rubbed his hands excitedly: "Did Priest Jin An see something? Do you think that the exhumation of the Imperial Master's grave this time is related to the old case of the stone tomb in the quarry?"

Then he volunteered to investigate the quarry.

I was so excited that I almost had the words "I love to catch evil" carved on my forehead.

Jin An smiled: "No, it's all on our way anyway."

The convoy continued to move forward through the snow. After the snow melted, the mountain road became muddy, and the convoy's walking speed became slower. After a long journey, it did not arrive at the National Master Cemetery until noon.

When the Criminal Investigation Department arrived, there were already servants guarding the tomb of the imperial master waiting at the entrance of the cemetery. As soon as the motorcade stopped, an old servant and several able-bodied servants came forward to greet him.

"I've seen Marquis Shenwu before, but I didn't expect that this time it was Marquis Shenwu who led the team in person, so that Marquis Shenwu worked hard." The old servant was moved and saluted.

The old servant is the old housekeeper of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. He has followed the Imperial Preceptor since he was a child. He has been diligent and loyal throughout his life. After the death of the imperial master, he volunteered to come to the cemetery to serve as a mausoleum guard and continue to perform his duties as a servant.

It was a serious matter for the Imperial Master to have his body dug up. After a few pleasantries, the group went straight to the entrance of the tomb.

On the way, Jin An asked about the Tianshi Mansion: "Old housekeeper, when I came here, I saw that the people from the Tianshi Mansion arrived before our Criminal Investigation Department. Have they found any clues in their investigation?"

The old housekeeper frowned and shook his head: "The immortals from the Tianshi Mansion have just arrived and are still under investigation."

Jin An then asked about the details of digging up graves and exhuming corpses.

Speaking of this, the old housekeeper burst into tears and said sadly: "My master has been kind to others all his life. He has never been harsh on or scolded servants like us who are from humble backgrounds. My master is a kind man. I never expected that he would suffer such a misfortune in the end. Shenwu You must help my master and catch the tomb robber with no moral integrity as soon as possible, so that my master can sleep peacefully and give me justice."

The old housekeeper could only cry sadly and couldn't find any useful clues. Jin An knew that if he asked again, there would be no clues, so after a few words of relief, he stopped asking any more questions.

The tomb of the Imperial Master was not dark at all, but rather spacious and bright.

The past dynasties have strict requirements on the scale of official cemetery construction. Although the imperial mausoleum is treated as a cemetery, it is not large in scale and cannot be compared with the royal mausoleum. Passing through the tomb passage and arriving at the main tomb chamber, many people from the Imperial Master's family have gathered here, and the population is booming.

In the Kangding State, the coffins for officials to be buried after their death were made by craftsmen designated by the court. After the death of officials, coffins made by civilians were not allowed to be used.

For officials up to the first rank, use nanmu; for second-rank officials, use pine wood; for third- and fourth-rank officials, use cypress; for fifth- and sixth-rank officials, use cypress; for seventh- and eighth-rank officials, use fir; for ninth- and tenth-rank officials, use cedar wood. , use willow wood; for those below the ninth grade and below the tenth grade, use willow wood.

The coffin customized by the imperial court for the imperial master was made of the highest-grade nanmu.

In addition to the people from the Guoshifu, the Tianshifu Feng Shui masters that Jin An noticed earlier were also in the main tomb.

"I didn't expect Old King Ling to be here." Jin An nodded.

"I heard that the Imperial Master's tomb was stolen. I have a very close personal relationship with the Imperial Master. In both public and private matters, I should come here to track down the real culprit for the Imperial Master, so as to comfort the Imperial Master's soul in heaven." Old King Ling said with a sad expression.

After hearing what Old King Ling said, all the wives, concubines, young and old of the imperial master burst into tears.

King Lao Ling looked at Jin An: "Last time I said goodbye to Bulao Mountain, I was busy with official matters and never had the opportunity to visit Shenwuhou. This time Shenwuhou was promoted to an immortal official and was rewarded by the Holy Lord with Xiangshan. He was allowed to hold sermons in Xiangshan. Although the government and the public There are some criticisms, but I have always believed that Marquis Shenwu is well-deserved. How many people in the world can kill several pseudo-fourth realms in a row? Marquis Shenwu will personally take part in the matter of the national master. I am very relieved. In the future, you will If you think of any clues, just contact Marquis Shenwu directly."

The last words of Old King Ling were to the people of the Imperial Master's Office.

Jin An sneered inwardly at this old fox.

Jin An asked about the situation in general. How did he find out that the grave of the imperial master had been robbed?

The person who answered was the wife of the Imperial Master. She was a noble lady with a graceful temperament. Although her face was haggard, she still had a graceful and luxurious temperament.

According to Jin'an's knowledge, this Yan family member was from a prominent family, and his natal family had a huge influence behind him. He was one of the most famous families in the capital.

However, in Jin An's eyes, these are not worth mentioning, no matter the famous family, in his eyes, they are just ordinary mortals.

Regarding the matter of the Imperial Master, we have to start with a dream a few days ago.

One day, Mrs. Yan dreamed that her husband was reading a book with the light on, his brows were furrowed and he did not go back to his room to sleep. I asked the master if he had something on his mind? The imperial master didn't say anything. He stayed up all night reading and reading. Yan stayed with him all night. When he woke up the next day, he felt haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night.

He had dreamed of the same scene for three days in a row. Every time, his father would stay up and read a book instead of going back to the house to sleep. Yan's expression was also visibly haggard and weight loss day by day. The Imperial Preceptor's Office asked someone to interpret Yan's dream, saying that Yan's destiny palace was purple, which meant that noble people had good luck. The crux of this dream was not Yan himself, but the Tianzhai Palace. The Tianzhai Palace had a slight green light, which must be Something happened in the dark house.

As soon as he heard that something was going on in the ghost house, and then thinking about the strange dreams he had for several days, Yan immediately thought that there must be something wrong with her master's tomb, and decided to open the tomb for an autopsy.

It turned out that there was something wrong with the Imperial Master's tomb. A bottom-up hole was dug into the main tomb chamber without any mistakes. However, before the other party could steal the Imperial Master's body, the people from the Imperial Master's Mansion discovered it in advance. None of the funerary objects were lost, and the body of the Imperial Master was also intact.

At this time, the coffin of the Imperial Master had been opened. This was the first time that Jin An saw the Imperial Master. He had white hair, an elegant face, and his eyebrows were as white as lightning without losing his majesty.

Jin An wanted to take the opportunity to examine the cause of death of the Imperial Preceptor to see if he really died. When Jin An asked for an autopsy, he did not expect that neither the old King Ling nor anyone from the Imperial Preceptor's Office would stop him, and allowed Jin An to conduct an autopsy. The autopsy went surprisingly smoothly...
