White Bone Monkey King

People in Fenghuang Town regarded the female corpse as unknown, so naturally the burial place could not be too close to Fenghuang Town.

According to the Zhang family, Mr. Da buried his body in an open place at the highest point of the mountains and rivers. It was far away from water vapor and earth atmosphere, which meant far away from the source of disaster. It was like a duckweed without roots. Without roots, there would be no danger of raising a corpse. .

Moreover, this open place cannot hide the wind or water. It is exposed to the sun for three days, which is the most suitable place to suppress corpses and transform evil spirits.

It is deep in the mountains and old forests, the moon is cold and the birds are cold, so it is really difficult to walk on the mountain road at night.

"Little brother, it's going to rain." The old Taoist priest who was following Jin An holding a torch suddenly said something out of nowhere.

Jin An asked the old Taoist how he knew?

The old Taoist priest smiled proudly: "Little brother, you have forgotten, I have Lao Han's legs, which is more effective than asking the Sea Dragon King of the Four Seas to borrow rain or asking the rain master to pray for rain. As long as Lao Han's legs hurt, I will know that it is going to rain. It’s raining.”

Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest speechlessly: "You are quite proud."

Since the strange phenomena in the sky and the earth, the short days and long nights, and the disorder of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the night time has become much longer. So many things happened tonight. When the two climbed over the mountains and ridges to the top of the mountain, there were still dark clouds above their heads and no dawn.

swish swish——

There are no mountains on the top of the mountain, only some short bushes swaying like ghosts waving in the dark night. It seems that even the wind on the top of the mountain has turned into a ghostly black whirlwind with a sharp hissing sound.

"Little brother, the wind is blowing. There are dark clouds in the sky and the moon is covered. There are no stars and gods. It seems that it is not far from rain." The old Taoist priest looked up at the night sky and said solemnly.

The cold raindrops fell from the sky, and the old Taoist priest's mouth was really faster than Cao Cao's.

The top of the mountain was considered ominous by the residents of Fenghuang Town and was overgrown with weeds. The cemetery had already been refilled by the townspeople. However, the villagers were mediocre and did not understand Feng Shui. Although they refilled the cemetery, they did not level it. There was a puddle of rainwater on the bare soil.

The rain had accumulated for an unknown number of days, and there were many dead leaves, cobwebs, and mosquito eggs floating there. Under the light of the torch, it was as dark as ink and the bottom could not be seen.

Ordinary people would not think too much when they see this place. They would just think that the people of Phoenix Town are afraid in their hearts, so that this place has been deserted and no one has been here, thinking it is normal. But when the old Taoist priest and Jin An saw this scene, they frowned.

"A dragonfly touching water is supposed to go to the Jiaji point, which can prosper the descendants and make the future generations rich. However, the water here is not a living mountain spring full of vitality, but stagnant water that has fallen to the ground without roots. It turns the Jiaji point into a fatal hole, and it cannot bring good things. Luck can easily attract all kinds of evil!" The old Taoist priest's face became more and more solemn.

Now that they were all here, the two of them were not picky people, so they took out the hoes and shovels they carried with them and started digging the grave.

There are three main things to do when digging a grave: lighting incense and candles, placing tributes, and burning paper money.

The two of them did not know in advance that this was actually a vertical burial. When they dug up the head of the coffin, which was placed vertically, they subconsciously stopped.

"Everything has gone wrong along the way. Why is it still a vertical burial?"

"It seems that Mr. Big is really cautious in his work. He knows that people who die violently are most afraid of the coffin falling to the ground, so he uses vertical burial to dissipate the evil spirit."

The Zhang family did not mention the matter of vertical burial. Perhaps it was because it happened too long ago, after all, it had been half a year, so they forgot about it. Or maybe they thought that vertical burial and horizontal burial were the same, so they did not mention it.

"Vertical burial graves and stagnant water caves. If the Yin is not dispersed, the Yin is gathered instead. This is a place of great danger! If someone with a grudge is buried here, within a month, the corpse will be raised and hurt!" The old Taoist priest looked at him with a serious expression. Jin An, let Jin An make the decision.

"dig."

Jin An's answer was simple.

He looked around and found some pulley tools that were originally buried. However, the wooden tools deteriorated quickly due to improper maintenance. Some pulleys, short axles, and ropes were no longer usable. It seemed that they had to rely on the most primitive tools——

It’s purely human power!

The two of them first dug a deep vertical burial pit, and then Jin An held the coffin in both hands and successfully lifted it out with a cry.

boom!

With a dull sound, the coffin fell heavily to the ground.

Jin An raised his hand and slapped open the coffin lid cleanly, only to find that the coffin was empty.

"You must know that the graves of men, women, old and young, only the grass and trees can know the sound. If you want to know the cause of death, the grass and trees can also tell the difference. You must know that the owner of the house is rich and poor, the landscape of the cemetery can clearly distinguish itself. The old and new grass and trees are born in the grave, and the yin and yang of the grass and trees must be true. Young people's grass grows in the east, old people's grass grows in the west. The grass in the east grows taller in men's families, and in the west the grass grows in women's families. Mounds of earth grow on all things on the graves, the rich first and then the poor, the descendants lose. From the left to the east, to the right to the west, sitting in the south facing Take the fourth position from the north. On the left is a male grave with high grass, and on the right is a woman buried with high grass. Grass grows straight up on the male grave, and the grass grows tangledly on the female grave... There is no grass on the grave and withered bones. If the grave collapses, a yellow and swollen person will be buried, and the grass will grow on the grave. If there is no grass, it must be tuberculosis and lonely old age. The hole in front of the tomb is poisoned to death, and the curly skin growing on the ground is poisonous to people. If the top is sharp and the bottom is big, it must be yellow and swollen to death..."

The old Taoist priest first recited a Feng Shui jingle, and then said: "It seems that the Zhang family was right. Not to mention the poisonous weeds that like yin, there are not even any weeds on this grave. The corpse in the coffin is indeed gone."

The jingle that the old Taoist priest just recited is called "Entering the Grave to Cut Off the Secrets", which is an entry-level secret of Yin and Yang Feng Shui. Through the direction of Feng Shui in front of the grave, it can be determined whether the grave is male or female, old or young, and whether it is a normal death. Some died of injustice, some died of poisoning, or they died of jaundice and tuberculosis.

Although he already knew this would be the result, Jin An still frowned unwillingly after walking such a long mountain road and only finding an empty coffin.

"It seems we have to look for clues in Phoenix Town." Just when Jin An was about to burn the coffin and destroy the murderous tomb, the old Taoist priest suddenly asked Jin An to wait.

The old Taoist priest picked up a shovel and pried off a piece of wood from the coffin board, and then asked Jin An to burn the coffin.

"The black dog with dark clouds and snow and a bright moon in mind that the Zheng family found is a good dog to guard the home. This coffin has been used to bury people and has been sealed under the earth. Maybe there is still some smell left, dog But by being psychic, you can not only see things that ordinary people can't see, but you can also smell the aura of hatred and resentment that ordinary people can't smell." The old Taoist priest explained.

Jin An gave the old Taoist priest a thumbs up to praise him for his reliability, then burned the coffin with fire poison and filled the cemetery.

It rains heavily on the mountain road, and the mud road is almost soul-breaking.

Even though the heavenly stems and earthly branches were abnormal and the days were short and the nights were long, it was already dawn when the two of them returned to Phoenix Town.

The two tired people were about to enter the town when they unexpectedly saw the two brothers from the Song family, who had not seen them all night, wandering anxiously at the entrance of the town.

As soon as the brothers saw Jin An and the old Taoist priest, they immediately ran over in a hurry. It turned out that Fenghuang Town had accidentally entered a newcomer again, but this time the newcomer was a little different. It was from the Yin County Yamen, and it was Hu Fangxu who came to collect taxes. Officials and several accompanying government officials.

In Kangding State, local people pay taxes by adopting the method of "people's income and people's solution". For example, people in a village pay taxes and grain to the local magistrate, and people in a town pay taxes and grain to the local mayor, and then submit them to the county government.

But the problem is that Fenghuang Town has been unable to get in and out in the past six months and has not paid taxes. Failure to pay taxes on time is a serious crime for the local government. The Yinxian County Yamen did not dare to delay and immediately sent people to urge payment.

Where is Phoenix Town now?

Those are a bunch of lunatics who do beastly things!

The bodies of these officials are very delicate. If Zaza Huhu is not willing to eat those bugs, centipedes, toads, etc., who can guarantee whether the residents of Phoenix Town will become cannibals in a hurry?

Outsiders must have entered Fenghuang Town in the past six months, but look at Fenghuang Town now. No outsiders can be seen. Who can tell where those outsiders have gone?

Now those people from the yamen are being delayed by others in Yizhuang, waiting for Jin An and the old Taoist priest to come back and give them an idea.

Jin An frowned. This was indeed a big trouble. No matter what happened, once it was related to the government, simple things would become complicated, and complicated things could turn into big troubles.

"We know about this. You can stabilize them for the time being. The old Taoist priest and I will resolve the matter today."

Jin'an left behind the two Song brothers who were speechless, and he and the old Taoist priest returned to the town.

There were a lot of hawking sounds in the town early in the morning, and there were shadows on the streets.

"Selling candied haws on a stick!"

"Selling rice noodles... Sir, would you like a bowl of rice noodles?"

As soon as they heard about rice noodles, the old Taoist priests were so hungry that they couldn't walk. They struggled all night and couldn't get anything to eat. They were so hungry that there was no drop of oil or water in their stomachs.

"Here comes your rice noodles." Just at this moment, the morning stall owner came to a table of guests with a steaming bowl of rice noodles. The rice noodles soup was dark, and I didn't know if there was too much soy sauce or too much vinegar. , but it smells quite fragrant.

The old Taoist priest was so greedy that he couldn't walk. The guest at the table picked up the chopsticks in the bamboo tube, stirred the rice noodles, and ate them with a delicious slurp. A large piece of minced meat rolled out from under the rice noodles, including toad legs and black ones. Centipede-backed.

At this time, the breakfast stall owner brought a stack of side dishes to the guests. There were many white maggots writhing in the stack of side dishes.

The old Taoist priest's face turned pale and his stomach was churning.

Just at this moment, the man who was selling candied haws on a haws came near. What he saw was a string of toads, mice, and insects.

The old Taoist priest did not dare to stay where he was, so he pulled Jin An and fled.

"Damn it, this Phoenix Town is even more evil than the ghost market! At least the ghost market only appears in places with heavy gloom at night! They are contrary to human ethics and behave like animals. These people are not only crazy at night, but also crazy during the day. !”

"The Song brothers did the right thing, and fortunately they stopped the housekeepers to collect the money. If they saw this scene, they might cause a lot of trouble! It's really hard for Mr. Liang and the boss of the Song family, and also I don’t know how they survive these days!”

The two people, who wanted to end things here as soon as possible and return to the normal world as soon as possible to relive the delicacies of the world, came to Zheng's house and said straight to the point that they wanted to borrow another dog.
