White Bone Monkey King

A group of people came to Chen Pi's house noisily.

A group of men from the Lin family were angry.

Just break down the door and rush in to find someone.

"Tangerine Pi! Chen Pi! Come out here!"

"Chen Pi, you damn pry hook, where have you been hiding? Get out!"

"Chen Pi, you are a bastard with a dark heart, get out of here!"

A group of rough guys from the Lin family were rummaging through boxes and cabinets at Chen Pi's house, but surprisingly, there was no one in the house.

Not to mention seeing tangerine peel.

Not even a ghost could be seen.

Looking at the angry men of the Lin family who were making trouble, Jin An suddenly remembered a Sichuan saying:

"This hook is a bit wild. Even lions and tigers would dare to use it to pull it blindly."

…

The place where Chen Pi lives is an incense and candle shop.

At this time, the men from the Lin family were rummaging through the incense and candles in the store, scattering them all over the floor.

"Old magician, your surname is Chen. This Chen Pi family sells incense and candles, and it is also surnamed Chen. Are you related? Then you deliberately performed the immortal dance?"

When the old Taoist priest heard Jin An's insulting words, he was so angry that he almost had a human wrestling match with Jin An in the street.

The Lin family over there had made such a big fuss that many people from the nearby villagers had gathered around.

"What's going on with these people?"

"It seems that they are looking for Chen Pi, the apprentice of the owner of the incense shop. Judging from his aggressive posture, he must be seeking revenge, right?"

"The owner of the incense shop just died not long ago, maybe not a few days ago, and he died so miserably. Who did his disciple offend?"

The surrounding neighbors were whispering and discussing.

This word happened to reach the ears of Jin An and the old Taoist priest who were standing on the street and did not enter the incense and candle shop to participate in the beating.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest looked at each other, and then the old Taoist priest politely asked those people for details.

The skin of an old Taoist priest is indeed very suitable for breaking into the public base, and it is easy to gain trust and important information.

turn out to be.

About half a month ago.

At the foot of a green mountain in Chang County, there were villagers who lived close to the mountain. They went hunting in the mountain and accidentally found a body.

The body died in a horrible way.

One arm was torn off, half of the waist was soaked, leaving only a bloody hole, which almost broke the person's waist in two, and the intestines fell out... The person died very unwillingly, and even opened his eyes wide after death. With two eyes.

Some people say that after entering the mountains, the owner of the incense shop was unlucky enough to encounter a powerful blind bear or an eye-catching white-fronted insect. One of his arms and half of his waist was broken off by the big claws of a cattail leaf fan.

As for why the owner of the incense shop died in the mountains? Some people speculate that he went into the mountains to pick wild medicine, but unfortunately he died in the mountains.

If someone dies, the Yamen will definitely be alerted.

Later, the Yamen also determined that the death was caused by a wild beast attack, and he died of excessive injuries and excessive blood loss.

As for the owner of the incense shop, there is also a waiter who can be regarded as a half-apprentice. This person is exactly the tangerine peel that Jin An and the others are looking for.

Chen Pi did not treat his master badly and gave him a generous burial. The owner of the incense shop didn't save much money during his lifetime. In order to give his master a grand burial, these neighbors heard... it seemed... it was said that... Chen Pi found some private work.

What kind of private work is it specifically?

Naturally, these neighbors are unknown.

Because since the owner of the incense shop died, this tangerine peel has been mysterious all day long, and basically no one from tangerine peel is seen during the day.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest looked at each other.

The two of them guessed that in order to give the master a rich burial, the private job that Chen Pi took on outside was probably to steal corpses, right?

At this time, people from the Lin family came to invite the old Taoist priest. In their eyes, the old Taoist priest was a real master, so they wanted to invite the old Taoist priest into the incense and candle shop to see if Chen Pi was in the shop.

Was it hidden on purpose?

…

…

At this time, the incense and candle shop was in a mess, with basically no place to stay intact.

In order to find someone, the incense and candle shop was almost searched by the Lin family.

The incense and candle shop is not big, and you can see it at a glance after walking around for two times. If you really want to hide someone, you will definitely find it immediately, but there is really no one there now.

However, since Jin An practiced the "Secret Manual of the Five Internal Organs", his keen sense has always felt that there is an aura hidden in this incense and candle shop that makes him uncomfortable.

Jin An followed his keen sense and stood in the place where the uncomfortable atmosphere was the strongest, but except for a pillar, there was nothing unusual there.

Jin An pondered on the spot.

"Little brother, what's wrong with you? Did you find anything?"

The old Taoist priest also noticed Jin An's abnormal behavior at this time.

Jin An did not answer immediately. He thought for a moment, then followed the load-bearing pillar beside him and looked up above his head. Suddenly! A person was looking straight at him face down! Eye to eye!

Jin An's breath froze.

It turned out that the tangerine peel they were looking for was hidden in the shadows behind the beams and pillars, with only a face showing. No wonder the Lin family couldn't find it after searching for so long.

If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see a person hiding on the beam.

"There's someone above me!"

The old Taoist priest shouted loudly, and the Lin family members holding iron weapons immediately ran over and surrounded the beam.

But strangely, the tangerine peel hidden on the beam did not move. A brave young man from the forest found a long bamboo pole and planned to force the person down.

As a result, Chen Pi did not resist and was easily stabbed down by the bamboo pole.

But when they took a closer look, all the Lin family members were so frightened that they took four or five steps back, their scalps numb.

In the end, it was the more courageous Jin An and the old Taoist priest who came over to take a look. This man was indeed Chen Pi, but he had been dead for a while and the body had turned black. The strange thing was that the body had not rotted.

"This, this...is this person dead?"

Someone from the Lin family approached and looked at Chen Pi's corpse, speaking with a trembling voice as his scalp was numb.

"But wasn't Chen Pi still alive yesterday?"

"And there was a near miss last night..."

"He succeeded in stealing the corpse..."

Jin An saw that the old Taoist priest had been frowning since the corpse of Chen Pi appeared, so he asked him what was wrong?

The old Taoist priest's face was very solemn: "Black dogs dig holes, old crows announce funerals, and dead people are raised on the beam. Little brother, do you know what this means?"

"What?"

The old Taoist priest solemnly said: "Someone is going to die!"

"This tangerine peel died unexpectedly during its lifetime and was contaminated by evil spirits, so it will die without rotting."

"No! Let's go back to Lin Lu's house quickly. Don't do this as a trick to steal the body in the white coffin while we are away!"

"Damn it, what is the identity of the body in the white coffin? Why do people keep trying to steal the body!"

Even the old Taoist priest was so anxious that he cursed his mother.

It can be seen that now even the old Taoist priest is starting to feel a little drummed in his heart.

"Send someone to report to the Yamen. Remember to set up dry firewood and burn the body in time before dark. I am worried that if it is delayed until night, the tangerine peel will defraud the body!"

The words of the old Taoist priest immediately made the Lin family miserable. It would be okay to ask them to arrest a living person, but now he is a dead person!

Living people hate the dead the most!

Especially last night, Chen Pi, who had been dead for many days, came back to life and ran to steal the body!

After hurriedly giving instructions here, the old Taoist priest took Jin An and the others and hurried towards Lin Lu's house.

Just when a group of people came out of the incense and candle shop.

Ding--

A copper bell rang loudly, and a copper bell hanging on the lower left corner of the eaves swayed softly in the wind.

I didn't see it before because it was blocked by the bamboo pole flags of a store next door. It was only then that the copper bell swayed and sounded, and no one discovered that there was still a copper bell hanging under the eaves.

When he saw the copper bell hanging on the lower left corner of the eaves, the expression on Jin An's face changed!
