White Bone Monkey King
Chapter 196 The old man in yin-yang robe!
Yin Shi.
It's the transition between day and night before dawn.
It was Yinshi time when Jin'an and the abbot of Bailong Temple returned to Fucheng.
There is only the last half hour left before sunrise at Mao hour.
The Taoist Yuanshen and the old monk Faxiang were walking and talking about the Dragon King. It was still half an hour before dawn, so it was still early.
After saying goodbye to the host at the gate of Bailong Temple, Jin An continued to return to the Five Zang Taoist Temple.
When passing by the Jia family, the lively banquet of the Jia family was still going on. Jin An was surprised to see that the Jia family actually held a flowing banquet all night long.
As expected, it is a Jia family with a big family and a big business.
Jin An paid attention for a while and saw that there was nothing unusual about the Jia family. He looked thoughtful and his soul drifted away.
Oh oh oh——
At this time, in Fucheng, roosters crow loudly from time to time. In mythology, roosters are ancient rosefinch, and roosters crow means that it is almost dawn.
Because of this, there are rumors among the people that the crowing of roosters can ward off evil spirits and scare away evil spirits.
Jin'an has the Yang God Yellow Talisman to protect the soul, so his soul can continue to wander outside without being afraid of the rooster's crow.
As the rooster crows, people in the city get up early and start another busy day.
The sound of a scholar reading aloud...
The sound of the tofu shop owner opening her door to sell tofu...
The owner of the wonton stall carried a load and carried a bamboo stick and began to walk through the streets selling wontons...
The fishermen at the mouth of the river began another day of fishing and casting their nets...
The dock porters whose business had plummeted came to the dock looking for work with half-full stomachs...
…
Everything in the world is painted in front of this sunrise picture.
"drink!"
When Jin An's soul floated near a wealthy family, he heard the sounds of two people fighting, mixed with the sounds of women practicing martial arts.
Jin An raised his head and looked curiously towards the direction where the sound came from. It was coming from that wealthy family.
"Jiang Mansion?"
"I remember that one of the largest chambers of commerce in Fucheng was named Jiang Lai. He controlled most of the merchant ship trade and shipyards in Fucheng."
"This mansion is so grandly built. The two stone sculptures in front of the door alone are as tall as two people. Looking at the whole city, it is difficult to find a more domineering mansion than the Jiang family. Even He Mansion and Xue Mansion Both the Jiang Mansion and the Jia Mansion are a little less interested. It seems that this Jiang Mansion should be the Jiang family, the largest chamber of commerce in the city."
According to what Jin An has heard about the Jiang family, the Jiang family has great ambitions, and seems to be more than satisfied with business in Wuzhou Prefecture.
As the business grows, there have been rumors in recent years that the Jiang family's fleet has begun to intend to develop into sea shipping, and has been working hard to find the golden waterway.
If the Jiang family really finds the golden waterway, in another ten years, the Jiang family will be able to develop into a wealthy country.
In fact, this is not alarmist at all.
Merchant ships are as vast as a grain of dust on the vast ocean, endless as far as the eye can see, seemingly thousands of miles away.
If there is no safe channel, merchant ships will either capsize in the ever-changing storms at sea; or they will get lost in the ocean, wandering for more than ten years without encountering a ship.
But the most terrifying thing is that people died of thirst at sea before they could carry it for a few days.
In the boundless ocean, in addition to getting lost, reefs, storms, and waves, the most feared thing is not being able to find an island in time to replenish fresh water.
Therefore, whoever masters a safe golden waterway can accumulate wealth that rivals other countries.
Not to mention anything else, the inland river journey alone takes one month and two months. If it were a sea merchant, it might take half a month to reach it with a favorable wind.
Moreover, sea-going ships can be built larger and have deeper drafts, and can carry more than several times the cargo at one time as inland ships.
The two are declining and the other is declining.
The gap is widening. Maritime merchants have larger fleets and build larger ships.
In the future, it would not be surprising to occupy a large island and establish himself as king.
For details, please refer to Jizi, Xingzhou, Luzon...
Jin An quickly found the direction from which the sound of the martial arts competition came at Nuo Dajiang's house. The main reason was that the other party was too obvious under the night sky. His energy and blood were as strong as a furnace and his energy was as strong as a furnace. In the eyes of the soul, it was like seeing a ball of flames. Burning.
She was a beautiful-looking woman of about eighteen or nineteen years old.
Despite her young age, this girl has a personality like a little female leopard. She is fierce, strong, and fierce. She is competing with others in the open space of a martial arts hall.
The two fought fiercely.
The warrior energy and blood in both men and women are burning like fire balls, and ordinary Xiao Xie Sui may not even be able to get closer than ten steps. When a martial artist has reached a high level of training, he is no longer afraid of ordinary evil spirits.
The man competing with the woman was an old man in his fifties or sixties.
His palms were as red as a hot soldering iron, and he seemed to be a master of palm skills.
"What a strong spirit. Both of them are among the first-class masters, especially the woman. She is still so young and another generation of geniuses has risen. If they can grow up safely and do not die prematurely, she will be another one in the martial arts world. He’s a rising star in martial arts.”
"Unfortunately, the outcome of this competition was doomed from the beginning. The old man is afraid of the young. Even though the old man is also a first-class master, he is old and frail, and his physical strength and blood are insufficient. His defeat was doomed from the beginning."
puff!
Jin An had just finished his thoughts. Sure enough, the old man knew that he had insufficient physical strength and was eager to seek credit. The woman deliberately sold him a flaw and got close to him. He did not react enough and was continuously chased by the opponent. His body fell back again and again, his breath was disordered, and finally he struck with a caring palm. On the old man's chest.
The old man immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Lost the ability to fight.
Jin An thought that the competition was over at this point, but unexpectedly, after the old man lost his ability to resist, the woman did not stop and continued to kill him.
She had the wind in her ears, her fists were packed with the force of a tiger's attack, and she slapped the old man's temples hard.
"puff!"
The old man spat out blood again, his face was red, his eyes were bloodshot and he fell to the ground and died suddenly.
His cerebral blood vessels were blown out by the woman.
After the woman killed the old man mercilessly, a servant of the Jiang family immediately handed the woman a handkerchief to wipe the blood on her hands.
Jin An frowned.
This woman is a little cruel.
However, before understanding the actual situation, Jin An would not easily criticize the right or wrong of the Jiang family woman. If the old man was an assassin who broke into the Jiang family at night, it would be understandable for the Jiang family to kill him.
Next, the Jiang Family Nursing Home began to come forward to clean up the blood stains and corpses.
Looking at the Jiang family nursing staff's skillful cleaning of corpses, it seems that they are used to this kind of situation. They have cleaned up the corpses of their young ladies in the martial arts hall more than once...
Jin An frowned even more tightly.
After watching it for a while, Jin An's spirit drifted away.
Return to the Five Zang Taoist Temple.
Not long after Jin An left, he didn't see that in a dark courtyard of the Jiang family's mansion, the door opened from the inside and a trembling old man came out.
The old man was wearing a yin-yang robe, and his face and hands were covered with blue-gray age spots. The spots were so numerous and densely packed that they looked like a moldy corpse that had been dead for a long time and was covered with spots.
The aura on his body was gloomy and gloomy.
The coffin has a cold atmosphere.
After he walked out of the house, he raised his head and glanced in a certain direction above Jiang's house.
That direction in the void is exactly the direction where Jin An's soul was just now.
At this time, there was a dozing servant who had been waiting outside the house. When he saw the old man walking out of the house, he was chased away as soon as he dozed off and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man.
At that time, he was about thirteen or fourteen years old, which was the age when his qi and blood were the healthiest and strongest. He had thin skin, tender flesh, and beautiful features.
The old man was really too old.
He is so old that it is difficult for him to walk and he needs help from others.
He has reached the age where the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry, and he looks much older than a hundred years old.
And just as the old man walked out of the house and stood under the eaves, part of his body happened to be illuminated by the moonlight above his head, and then a strange scene happened.
The palms of the old man's exposed sleeves were densely packed with large and small blue-gray age spots. Under the moonlight, they changed strangely, and the age spots quickly turned into corpse spots.
The body temperature is getting colder and colder.
The yin energy in my body is getting heavier and heavier.
Even the skin began to turn into the grayish-white color of a dead person, and the blood energy rapidly declined.
The earth has the aura of filthy earth, and the moon above the head has a lunar yin.
The most taboo of the dead is for the feet to touch the ground and for the corpse to be exposed to the moonlight. Therefore, when handling the dead body, people should prevent the corpse from touching the ground with the moonlight to prevent deception.
The situation of the old man in yin and yang robes in front of him is the same as deceiving a corpse.
The old man noticed the changes in his palms. He covered his palms with his sleeves calmly, then looked at the man waiting at the door kindly, came over to support the young man with delicate features and tender skin, and showed a kind and friendly smile: "Young man, you What's your name? You're very handsome, I don't think I've seen you before at the Jiang family?"
The young servant hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "My name is Yuan Yan, and I am a servant who has just joined the Jiang family. The housekeeper said that you like young people to serve me, and you like young people to be energetic, so I was ordered to serve you."
As the young man spoke awkwardly, his nose twitched, as if he smelled something strange on the old man's body.
But he is a servant.
At this time, I didn't dare to raise my head at all.
I was afraid of bumping into the old man in front of me.
Even though the oil was exhausted, the old man still smiled kindly and said: "Yes, yes, old man, I like energetic young people best."
"Being with young people makes me feel much younger."
"As long as I can serve you well, this is Yuanyan's blessing. The housekeeper said that you are very talkative, and as long as I serve you well, Yuanyan will soon be able to collect the medicine for my mother's medical treatment." The young man said. The servant mustered up his courage and said.
After hearing this, the smile on the old man's face became more kind.
The young servant who kept his head down to answer did not notice that at this moment, the age spots on the old man's face gradually turned into corpse spots and spread rapidly under the moonlight.
"Unexpectedly, he is still a filial son. I am really touched by the old man."
"Yuanyan, besides your sick old mother, do you have any other relatives in your family?"
The old man in the yin-yang robe, whose oil has run out and his lamp has dried up, is lifeless.
Looking behind the old man covered with age spots, he saw that the light in his house was dark, and the other layout of the house could not be seen clearly. He only saw an iron-wood coffin painted with black paint.
But now the black coffin opens.
"My only relative is my mother." The young servant replied respectfully.
"It's great to be young..."
“Tender skin and tender meat…”
"It's really enviable and missed..."
"Yuanyan, I'm a little tired. Please help me back to the house."
The young servant said respectfully: "Okay, sir."
When the young man helped the old man in yin and yang robes back to the house, bang, the door closed and the house fell into darkness.
Soon after, noises started coming from the house.
The smell of blood permeates the moonlight.
After about a stick of incense, lights and candles lit up in the originally dark room, and then the door opened from the inside, and only an old man in a yin-yang robe came out, but the young servant was not seen.
At this time, the corpse spots on the face, hands, and skin of the old man in Yin Yang Robe have receded, and even the age spots have receded a lot. He seems to be several years younger, and even his legs and feet are more agile.
This time when he went out, he no longer looked like he needed help from someone before.
Even the body temperature has warmed up a lot.
Strong Qi and blood.
When the old man in the yin-yang robe came out this time, a young man was already standing in the yard outside the door.
"Sir, why did you wake up from your deep sleep early? Didn't you say you won't wake up until the passage opens?"
The young man asked respectfully.
At this time, the old man in Yin Yang robe had regained his strong energy and blood. Even if he stood under the moonlight, his age spots no longer turned into corpse spots. He stood in the yard like a normal person, looking up at the moon: "I sensed that the passage was opening. Is there anything major happening in Fucheng during these days when I am sleeping?"
"During the days when Mr. Xiang was sleeping, several major events did happen in Fucheng. One was that the Yinyi River was cut off, and hundreds of people in the government died; the other was the Dragon King case; the third was the civil strife in Bailong Temple; and the fourth was that the Jia family fell into the water. The lady who drowned and was captured by the Dragon King to be the Water Goddess is back again. Last night the Jia family held a banquet all night long. Sir, you must save me. That stinky bitch came ashore to kill me."
The young man asked the old man in yin-yang robe for help.
This man is clearly the nephew of Zong Ren who killed his uncle and his nephew and stole the pieces of Luo Geng’s jade plate!
Unexpectedly, after he came back that night, he sneaked into Jiang's house.
"Oh? She drowned in the Yinyi River, and was captured by the Dragon King to become the Water Goddess. She was full of resentment, and her three souls and seven souls were all in the Yinyi River. How did she get ashore?"
Zong Ren said in a panic: "Someone must have gone into the water to retrieve the body and carried this stinky bitch on his back!"
"Thanks to my looking back before I landed that night, I discovered it early and scuttled the boat. She and the boat sank into the river on the shore. Without me telling her the specific location, no one knew that she and the boat sank. Where is the body? But just yesterday, the Jia family gave her a big banquet! She came ashore yesterday! I don’t know who fished her ashore. She was dead, and only a living person could fish her out. The person who brought the corpse ashore has no idea how terrifying the Water Goddess is, and many, many people will die in this city!"
"Sir, I dedicated the fragments of Luo Geng's jade plate to you. You must save me!"
The old man in the yin-yang robe said thoughtfully: "Tomorrow I will personally visit Jia's house to see what's going on."
After the old man finished saying this, he no longer cared about Zong Ren, but turned to look in the direction of the courtyard door: "The eighth lady is here."
"Master."
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman walked in from outside the yard and saluted the old man with her fists clasped.
It was the ruthless young lady from the Jiang family.
