White Bone Monkey King

Ever since they learned that there was another real culprit in the death of the bridegroom and his bride, the Zheng family, feeling guilty, did not dare to look directly at the Zhang family.

Zhang Baoshan, a big man, knelt down and cried loudly on the spot. His first reaction was not to go to Zheng's family to avenge his daughter, but to cry sadly and helplessly.

Seeing that the Zhang family was about to start a fight with the Zheng family after learning the truth, in order to avoid causing more casualties, the old Taoist priest stood up and said that the real murderer had not yet been found, and the bones of the deceased had not yet been buried. The most important thing now was to bury the body. Then find out the truth, catch the real culprit, and bring justice to the groom and the bride. Only in this way can the deceased be buried in peace.

The old Taoist priest continued to say that not all the Zheng family are evil people, but there are also good people like the bridegroom officer, who helped us point out clues to prove the bride's innocence. This just shows that the groom officer and the bride really love each other. The executioners who killed the bride that day can be controlled first and handed over to the Yamen for judgment at dawn.

In the end, they were arrested and tied up, and a dozen people from the Zheng family were controlled and imprisoned in a room. In order to calm down the anger of the Zhang family more quickly, the Zheng family members actively cooperated to find the remaining body of the bride. Baoshan and his two sons ignored the stench and jumped into the manure tank to retrieve the body.

Seeing the tragic fate of Zhang Baoshan's daughter, the Zhang family was so angry that they almost started fighting with the Zheng family again.

The old Taoist priest recited the words Supreme Taiyi Du'e Tianzun, came to Zhang Baoshan and said: "My little brother happens to know some corpse burial techniques. Donor Zhang, you go back and take a bath and bring your daughter's skin back. My little brother will bury Miss Zhang’s body completely, and then choose a good time to bury it properly.”

In fact, what the old Taoist priest said was only half correct. Today, Jin An not only had to bury the bride's body, but also re-bury the groom's body, which was a poor paper-maker, and bury them both decently.

In the strange book "Collection of Corpses", there is an introduction to death by being skinned and executed, as well as detailed explanations on how to bury corpses, remove evil spirits, and re-sew human skin.

According to "Collection of Corpses", the skinned person will be particularly painful before death. If there is unresolved hatred or a great injustice, and the resentment cannot be dissipated, it is often the easiest to breed strange things and the most difficult to resolve. resentment.

The Zheng family also knew that the bride would die miserably and would most likely turn into a haunting ghost, so they buried the bride's body under the manure pit in order to prevent the bride from having a chance to turn around after her death.

Jin An noticed a detail. The idea of ​​burying the bride's body in a manure pit was also proposed by Mr. Zheng Liu.

He temporarily put aside his distracting thoughts and concentrated on burying the bodies of the groom and the bride.

It is not difficult to make up for the lack of body for the groom. He can be regarded as a familiar person once and twice. The most difficult thing is the bride.

If it was just a simple exorcism, it would be just a yellow talisman to quell the evil, but today he was not exorcising the evil, but helping the deceased to exorcise the evil, bury the body, lay it to rest, and re-enter reincarnation. This matter was more complicated than exorcism. There is a common saying among the people that "it is better to make enemies than to dissolve them." Why do you put yourself in the perspective of the victim and ask the victim to let go of his hatred? It was precisely because it was too complicated that he needed to devote more energy to doing it.

Jin An once again deeply understood the phrase "to save the dead and keep vigil for the living" in "Record of Collecting Corpses".

…

Zheng's mourning hall, Jin'an altar style. In front of him were three bed boards placed on benches. Each bed board was covered with white cloth. One of the bed boards placed the groom's body, and the other two bed boards placed the body of the groom. It is the skin and body of the bride.

He asked for the groom's birthday and the bride's birthday to make two soul-calling flags on site.

He ordered the Zheng family to go to the river and pick two willow branches. He specifically told them that they must be from the willow trees by the river. Willow branches can either kill ghosts or attract ghosts, depending on where the willow tree grows. The willow trees growing by the river have a strong yin energy, so they are most suitable for making soul-calling flags.

However, the Zhang family could not trust the Zheng family, so in the end it was Zhang Baoshan's two sons who went to the river to collect willow branches.

Jin An made two little puppets with his own hands, stuffed the notes with birthdays and eight characters on them into the two little puppets, and finally tied them to willow branches, and tied a bell on each of the little puppets. This is the soul-calling bell. , is used together with the Soul-Calling Banner.

After making the soul-calling flag, Jin An inserted the willow branch at the door of the mourning hall and began to concentrate on the corpse.

The summer night was sultry and windless, and the copper bell tied to the little puppet remained silent. It was a dead thing, as if it had no role in summoning spirits.

After burying the groom's body, Jin An raised his head and glanced at the copper bell hanging at the door of the mourning hall, then lowered his head to bury the bride's body.

The bride was skinned and died. It was a bit troublesome to bury the body. Someone was needed to help. Jin An called an old Taoist priest to help. He was responsible for touching the bones and tightening the skin. The old Taoist priest was responsible for acupuncture and acupuncture, fixing the skin shell, and finally the burial was perfect without sutures. The body was successfully exhumed, the skin was smooth, and the original appearance of the body was restored as much as possible.

Even the frightened, angry and resentful expressions on the bride's face were transformed into a peaceful and sleeping expression through the adjustment of several acupuncture points on her face.

After all this work, the old Taoist priest was so tired that the robe on his back was soaked with hot sweat. The old Taoist glanced at the soul-calling flag at the entrance of the mourning hall, and whispered to Jin An: "Little brother, the soul-calling bell still hasn't rung. The bride seems Refusing to come back and resurrect? Is it possible that the bride’s soul is trapped somewhere and unable to come back?”

"Little brother, does your book "Corpse Collection" describe in detail what to do if this kind of situation occurs?"

Jin An nodded: "Since the soul-calling flags and soul-calling bells can't call the bride, try using a soul-drawing lamp. Old Taoist priest, you lead the Zheng family to extinguish all the lights in the house, and only use the wells, ghosts, willows, and stars in the house. Light a lantern in each of the seven positions of , Zhang, Yi, and Zhen. Southern Suzaku, I want to set up the Southern Suzaku Seven Soul Soul Recalling Formation! If someone really deliberately traps the soul of the bride to prevent her from reincarnation, I would like to see this Can a person be able to withstand being burned by a fire? I will light a fire for him!"

The old Taoist priest gave a thumbs up: "You are still taller, little brother."

After saying that, he had already started working with the Zheng family.

During this period, Jin An was not idle either. He asked for pen and ink and red paper, and he wrote vigorously. Finally, he handed over the two red papers with words written on them to the Zheng family and asked them to stick them on the door and open the door wide.

The Zheng family members took a look at the red paper and immediately changed their expressions. This was a confession of guilt. The Zheng family members admitted that they had wronged the bride and killed her. They had found out that the real culprit was someone else. The Zheng family members were accused by the groom and the bride. Moved by his true feelings, he wants to find out again that the matchmaker is marrying Miss Zhang into the Zheng family, and sincerely welcomes Miss Zhang back to the Zheng family. The real culprit will be caught tonight and she will be given justice.

The other piece of paper is a joint letter, which needs to be signed by the Zheng family.

This is called telling the world, making it public, and actively inviting ghosts and gods to live in the Zheng family.

Seeing the hesitation of the Zheng family, Jin An looked sternly: "Tonight is your only chance to save yourself. This is not only a chance for you to save yourself, but also a chance for the deceased. You have also seen what happened to the groom tonight. If If the grievances of the groom's family are not quelled, the Zheng family will never have peace in the future. Even if they are buried forcefully, it will bring harm to their descendants for generations to come."

Perhaps remembering the scene of finding the groom's body under the bed, the Zheng family turned pale with fright, so they had no choice but to sign a joint letter to clear Ms. Zhang's innocence and sincerely invite Ms. Zhang to stay at the Zheng family home.

Just when the Zheng family was queuing up to sign the joint petition, the old Taoist priest had already arranged for the Qisu lantern to come back. When he learned the reason why the Zheng family was queuing up to sign, the old Taoist priest clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful!"

"The Zheng family has always owed Miss Zhang a status. With this status announced to the world, Miss Zhang is the mistress of this house. She can come in and out openly. Even the God of Thunder inspects the world and suppresses lonely souls and wild ghosts. I can’t take care of the Zheng family’s housework.”

The Zheng family had just pasted the two pieces of red paper on the door. Suddenly, the two soul-calling bells at the entrance of the mourning hall rang at the same time.

"There's a reaction!" The old Taoist priest just showed his joy. At this moment, an explosion suddenly came from Fenghuang Town in the dark night, and the flames shot into the sky, waking up the sleeping townspeople.

This is the Southern Suzaku Qisu Soul Calling Array at work!

Jin An jumped onto the roof and ran straight to the fire site with a stern look on his face!
