White Bone Monkey King

As the old saying goes, if you repay a favor, it will be easy to do so again in the future.

With a simple and kind intention of repaying his kindness, Jin An came to the back hall, picked up the red-clothed umbrella girl Zhizhanren who had lost her Yin energy and turned into an ordinary paper-pricked person, and strode to the small space where the empty longevity materials were placed. Brick house.

"I still don't know the name of the girl, so I'll call you the girl in red for now. Girl in red, your Yin Qi has been damaged. These longevity materials are the Yin House, which can nourish the Yin Qi. You should lie down in the longevity materials and have a good sleep first to replenish the lost energy. Yin energy. I, Jin'an, am a person who repays kindness. The girl in red saved my life, so I should repay this favor."

Jin An carefully placed the red umbrella girl in the coffin, and then closed the coffin lid, but did not seal the coffin lid, so that the girl could come out on her own after she recovered.

Jin'an was very busy on this day.

After settling the red umbrella girl, he returned to the back hall, moved the headless body to the small yard, placed it on a pile of lychee tree branches that had been piled up in advance, and burned it on a fire.

Perhaps Fu Shou's shop occasionally comes into contact with some strange and evil corpses. There are many lychee tree branches stored in the backyard woodshed, specially used for burning corpses.

Folk rumors say that lychee is a summer fruit. The lychee tree is strong in yang and fire. If you eat too many lychees, you will easily get angry. However, yang overcomes yin. This lychee tree has the best effect on burning evil corpses.

Jin An cremated the corpse, then found an urn to put the ashes in, and then placed the urn in the small brick house where the coffin was placed. Because there was a Tai Chi Bagua mirror to block evil spirits in the house, Jin An could only rest assured. Put the urn here.

This Fushou store really has everything, including urns, coffins, cremations, urns, incense for worship, candles, paper money, paper people, paper houses, mage's salvation, and burial From corpse to cremation to worship, one-stop service is provided.

This is called a service awareness that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and makes people spend money willingly.

In human terms, let the dead walk away cleanly, let the living walk away cleanly, and drain you of your last copper before letting you go.

Even Jin An had to sincerely admire the business acumen of the Fu Shou store owner.

One word: absolutely!

It had been several hours since he had dealt with the matter of the headless jumping corpse. Next, Jin An returned to the house, cleaned up, and rearranged the back hall that had been messed up by the jumping corpse into order.

He found some wood and carpentry toolboxes from the small yard, briefly repaired the shelves, and then rearranged the messy items on the shelves, especially the soul lanterns with the names of the deceased on them. Jin An did not dare to neglect. Each lantern is carefully wiped clean.

When Jin An wiped them clean and rearranged the soul lanterns, a magical scene happened. A series of vague human-shaped black shadows appeared on the wall of the back hall. They seemed to make a collective bow to Jin An to thank him.

Jin An: "From now on, this Fu Shou store will be our home. From now on, you can call me Jin An, and I will call you family. From now on, I will ask all my family members to take care of me, protect the Fu Shou store together, and live in harmony." "

Since they were family members, Jin An couldn't be too stingy. He found incense sticks and paper money, and lit an incense stick and a stack of paper money for each soul lamp. These incense sticks and paper money were all held down with soul lamps.

After finishing this task, Jin An finally had time to take out a copy of "Collection of Corpses" and read it with an oil lamp.

Because the strange smell of the brain residue of jumping corpses still lingered in the back hall, Jin An chose to sit in the front hall and read through "Record of Corpses".

This "Corpse Collection" was accidentally found when he was cleaning the Fushou shop. It was originally hidden very well. If he hadn't been cleaning and tidying up, he wouldn't have found it. Jin An had a hunch that the boss's entrustment to him would probably be recorded in it. In this "Corpse Collection".

The first page of "Collection of Corpses" contains only a few lines -

To save the dead and keep vigil for the living.

Although it is only a few sentences, when paired with the words "Collection of Corpses", it has a different artistic conception when chewed.

The next few pages are catalogs. This corpse collection records in detail the various strange and strange corpses that the Fu Shou shop owner has received for generations.

Although the imperial court established strict laws and regulations, lynchings in ancestral halls in various places were still common. In some villages and towns, the lynchings of clans were even greater than those in the imperial court. Sometimes even the government did not dare to control some mountain people in remote mountains.

The human heart is more vicious than ghosts. The various types of capital punishment invented by local ancestral halls through abuse of lynching fully demonstrate how distorted human nature can be. It is difficult to leave a whole body. This kind of people die miserably and encounter a lot of strange things. In order to After calming down the resentment of the deceased, some masters will be found to bury the body.

There are corpses that died in all kinds of strange and weird ways in "Corpse Collection". Nine out of ten of them were caused by human actions, and only ten percent were caused by accidents. This sentence is fully fulfilled -

The ghosts didn't hurt me at all, but people left me completely bruised.

For example, car splitting, carcasses dismembered by five horses, skinning, sawing, cannon burning, chai (chài) basin, human pig (zhì)), beheading in half, riding a wooden donkey...

Well.

"Isn't this the ancient version of "A Thousand Ways to Die"?" Jin An looked strange.

He has seen enough different kinds of dead people. The list of various ways of death recorded in this "Corpse Collection" alone has several pages. He roughly browsed through several familiar ways of death and found that each Each method of death has a corresponding method of enclosing the corpse and burying it.

For example, the person who was cut in half would not die immediately, but would die slowly after his intestines flowed all over the place. This person died in pain, and naturally he was full of resentment.

It's good to be able to find both parts of the body. You can sew the body up and then bury it. What's most scary is that the family members of the deceased only find half of the body.

If this kind of corpse is not handled well, he will immediately fake the corpse as soon as it is buried. He will be resentful that the family did not find all the corpses for him and then bury him hastily. Then he will kill the entire family out of resentment.

This "Record of Corpses" records in detail the burial methods of finding all the corpses and not finding all the corpses. Today I will not talk about the former, only the latter. According to the records, in such a situation, you can use paper to tie people up to serve as other corpses. Half of the body is sutured; if the deceased's family members have some wealth, they can try stuffing hay with cloth dolls to achieve a perfect ratio of one to one. The body is soft and elastic, not as stiff as paper pricking the hand; if you can afford a higher price, You can also use the ancient secret technique in the second volume of "Book of Lu Ban" to use wood to create a one-to-one head, hands, feet or torso to sew up the body. Wood is the growth of all things, can nourish the soul and gather energy, and is a good wood that will last longer. They are all good vaginal materials.

However, each of these crafts is more difficult than the last. In most cases, paper-tied people, puppets, and hay are used to sew the corpse together.

Not only can the two corpses be tied up with paper and stuffed with hay, but even if the body is crushed into mincemeat like a car and cut into pieces, and only a bare torso is left, it can also be stitched together with paper, stuffed dolls, and hay. ! Even if you peel off the skin, you can get a one-to-one paper-pierced body. Moreover, any kind of handsome man or beautiful woman you want, a good paper-piercer can create it for you!

"Corpse Collection" records in detail what kind of death method, what reactions the corpse will have, how to bury the corpse to ensure the best makeup, as well as the proportions of corpses, bones, and internal organs of people of different ages, as well as different judgments based on wounds. How a person died can be used to determine whether the person died in vain, committed suicide, or died accidentally, because different ways of death have different grievances and different handling methods...

The more Jin An looked at it, the more astonished he became. He found that saying "Collection of Corpses" was the ancient version of "A Thousand Ways to Die" was simply too narrow-minded!

This is clearly a concentrated and enhanced version of "A Thousand Ways to Die" plus "Popular Science Collection of Witnesses" plus "Resolution of Wrongs" plus "Book of Lu Ban" plus "Needs to Know About the Career of an Encoffiant" plus "Paper Baster Takes You to the Underworld".

The wisdom of the ancients is so terrifying!

If he can no longer survive as a Taoist priest, with these skills at his side, he will definitely not have to worry about starving to death when he opens a Fushou shop!
