White Bone Monkey King

Jiangzhou Prefecture is prosperous and even has more than one prison. For example, there is a prison in the south of the city.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the prison in the south of the city, they almost bumped into a hurried prison guard who was running out with his head lowered.

"Xiaosi, you ran out like a loser. Did something happen in the prison?" Wang Captou stopped the jailer.

The jailer named Xiaosi looked up and saw that it was Wang Captou. He immediately panicked and said: "Wang, Wang Captou, something serious has happened, Shi... Shi..."

The jailer was very frightened. When he finished stammering, the expressions of Wang Baotou, Jin An, and the old Taoist priest all changed. The third housekeeper of the Song family, Shi Zhiping, escaped from prison last night. No one knew how Shi Zhiping escaped from prison. When At noon, when the jailer was delivering meals, he discovered that the cell used to hold Shi Zhiping in solitary confinement was empty. He was about to report the matter in a hurry when he happened to see Captain Wang arrive.

In the prison with turbid air, several people stood outside the cell door. They looked at the cell door in good condition and pointed out that the thick iron railings showed no signs of damage or lock picking. They frowned.

Although Shi Zhiping's spine was broken by Jin An and his lower body was disabled, the Yamen did not dare to be careless and imprisoned Shi Zhiping, a criminal wanted by the imperial court with numerous murders, in the depths of the most tightly guarded prison. There were no windows and the only lighting was by torches. The way out is also guarded by government officials. Unless someone robs the prison and kills the jailer, it is impossible for a living person to escape silently.

Especially since Shi Zhiping is paralyzed in the lower half of his body, it is impossible for him to leave on his own.

"Who were guarding the prison last night? Call them all together. I want to ask them one by one about all the details of last night." Wang Captou looked serious. He saw that the cell door was not damaged and that people and ghosts disappeared. The first thing he thought of was A jailer responded to the prison robbery.

Wang Captou went to question the jailer, while Jin An and the old Taoist priest stayed where they were and continued to investigate the cell.

There are many dead people in the prison, and the yin energy is strong, so strange things often happen. This situation is different from the situation of dead people in Changxian prison. There are no dead people this time. The old Taoist priest tried to use the rice from the grave to test it, but it has no effect.

"Old Taoist, what do you think about this?" Jin An's fingertips touched the cold iron railings one by one, checking whether there were any abnormalities in these iron railings.

"Little brother, do you mean this cell? Or do you mean the disappearance of the third housekeeper of the Song family? Or do you mean the gap between the eyes?" The air in the cell was turbid and the smell was unpleasant. The old Taoist priest covered his nose with his two index fingers and spoke with a bit of an irritating sound.

Jin An turned around and said, "Old Taoist, you are asking questions knowingly."

The old Taoist priest felt uncomfortable holding his breath. He first took a few big breaths through his mouth, and then said with a solemn expression: "Little brother, have you noticed one detail? Although the corpses we dug out from the coffin pavilion and the corpses we performed for autopsy were all sewn up. Eyes, but there is one detail. The expression of the corpse in the coffin shop is one of yearning. Mr. Wang said that the expression of the corpse being dissected was one of fear. As a veteran, I feel that this is like raising the corpse according to human emotions and six desires..."

After hearing the old Taoist priest's answer, there was no surprise on Jin An's face. Apparently he also noticed this facial detail.

"The third housekeeper of the Song family is now the only survivor. If we want to find out the truth, it seems that he is the only clue." Jin An frowned.

"You can also start from the source of the corpse. I'll ask Wang Shaotou later where the corpse in the Yamen came from." The old Taoist priest added.

Yes, Jin An nodded.

At this time, Jin An had also finished checking the cell. The old Taoist priest curiously asked Jin An if he had found anything new. Jin An shook his head.

"Could it be that the third housekeeper of the Song family really escaped? Walked through the wall? But that doesn't make sense. If he knew these magics, why would he be reduced to a kidnapper in the green forest." The old Taoist priest wondered.

Looking at the old Taoist priest who was holding his nose with his fingers and taking a big breath of air like a bullfrog when he said a word, Jin An laughed out loud: "Isn't it normal for people in the world to know some bone-shrinking skills? What I’m curious about is that Shi Zhiping has been crippled by me. How did he walk out of the prison in full view of everyone? And why did he sew his eyes shut? "

While the two were discussing, Captain Wang over there had also finished interrogating the jailer who had been watching the night last night, but found nothing.

Jin An: "Did Shi Zhiping behave in any strange way last night?"

Wang Captou: "There is such a thing. It was Xiaosi who delivered food to Shi Zhiping last night. Shi Zhiping asked about the time again, and then happily said that the time was up. It seemed that something good was about to happen. A He just sat there and kept laughing, ignoring Xiaosi... Later Xiaosi didn't take this matter too seriously and left after delivering the meal. However, when he came to deliver lunch the next day, he discovered that Shi Zhiping had disappeared out of thin air. ."

Hearing that Shi Zhiping kept laughing, Jin An's eyes darkened, and the old Taoist priest really got it right. Three of the seven emotions - joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and shock - had appeared.

The clues in the prison were temporarily cut off, and the three of them rushed to Writer Liu Wu without stopping.

The reason why Jin An did not go to Writer Liu Zuo from the beginning was because Wang Captou said that Liu Zuo would sleep during the day and only go crazy and develop pica at night.

On the way, Jin An also learned that the source of the corpse in the Yamen was left by a Taoist who dug graves and refined corpses. However, the Taoist was already dead and the corpse stank in the house for several days. Later, neighbors reported the smell after smelling the corpse. official.

As soon as I arrived at Writer Liu Wu, I saw several government officials guarding the place. They tied Liu Wu into a five-flowered flower and exposed it to the sun under a big tree in the courtyard.

Just as Wang Captou said, Liu Wuzuo slept during the day and was tied to a tree and exposed to the sun without consciousness. His whole body was as cold as if he were touching an ice cube.

At first glance, Jin An saw that there were dark clouds covering Liu Zuoyintang, and there was a black air approaching from his nose, which meant that he would be forced into a desperate situation in the near future and there would be a disaster.

Obviously, this disaster was caused by something unclean.

Jin An: "It's useless. Carry him into the house first."

The government officials looked at Wang Captou and saw him nodding. Then they untied the hemp rope and put Liu Zuozuo down.

When entering the house, Jin An noticed that the threshold of the house was chewed up with teeth marks.

Wang Captou said with a solemn expression: "The master of the Qingxuan Taoist Temple invited the four great gods to guard the house, and put a talisman paper in the four corners of the house, which seemed to be called the four evil talismans of the house. That night, Liu Wuzuo He didn't get sick again and remained drowsy. But the next day during the day, Liu Wuzuo woke up and rushed to the threshold like crazy. His mouth was full of blood and he bit the threshold into pieces. No matter how he stopped, he couldn't stop him. That was that night. , the master of Qingxuan Taoist Temple set himself on fire and committed suicide."

Hearing this, the old Taoist priest frowned: "This is because the evil energy has entered the brain, affecting his mind, and he becomes crazy even during the day. That's why his body will always be cold when exposed to the sun. This is a physical failure." A sign of warmth.”

"The next step is brain atrophy and necrosis. By that time, there is no way to recover. Even if the evil energy is driven away from the body, you will never wake up."

When Ms. Liu heard this, she was so sad that she almost fainted. She knelt down and begged Jin An and the old Taoist priest to save her man. The two men quickly helped her up and promised to do their best.
