White Bone Monkey King

After the old Taoist priest distributed homemade detoxification pills to the villagers, everyone filed into the house.

Strangely, this alcoholic man also had a coffin in his home.

The coffin itself is not strange. What is strange is that there are only two people in the house of an alcoholic man: the husband is eaten by his wife, and the wife is buried alive by the villagers elsewhere. So who is this coffin prepared for?

When someone died in other villagers' homes, it was still acceptable if relatives arranged the coffin. But both the couple in this room are dead, who arranged the coffin?

Because the windows were nailed shut by the villagers with wooden boards, the light in the house was very dim. Even so, bloody palm prints and bloody foot prints could still be seen all over the house, and there were long blood marks on the ground left when people were dragged.

However, the source of the stench did not come from the blood stains and the coffin, but from another place. Jin An did not touch the coffin for the time being and walked towards the source of the stench.

When they came to the stove, they saw blood flowing across the place. The stove, kitchen knives, chopping boards, and the ground were all covered in blood, and the accumulation was very thick, like a bloody slaughterhouse.

The corner where firewood was supposed to be piled was replaced by piles of human bones.

After so many years, the thick blood stains on the stove and the floor have turned as black as ink. Some human hair, teeth and other objects can also be seen in the blood stains. The source of the stench in the house comes from these blood stains and corpses.

The corpse stitcher explained at the right time: "This is where the crazy wife ate her husband. The human bones piled nearby include those of her husband and the stolen corpses that she ate after contracting pica. "

"I was not present at that time, but later I heard that the scene was much more terrifying than it is now. The whole room was full of blood, minced meat, intestines and internal organs, and the stove was filled with uneaten limbs and severed arms... I heard that even the kitchen knife can chop bones and the sharp edge is very good.”

The corpse stitcher's words made the villagers shiver and look nervous. They stammered and said, Master Cai, please stop talking. This is too evil and scary.

They searched around the alcoholic man's house but couldn't find the missing child, so they walked back to the coffin at the door.

"Aren't you curious who is lying in this coffin?"

"The alcoholic husband was eaten by his wife, and the wife was buried alive by the villagers. The couple died and had no other concerns. Why is there a coffin in the house? I think this coffin is definitely not for the husband and his wife. ."

Jin An sneered, and before the corpse stitcher could stop him, he slapped the coffin lid away with his palm.

The coffin, which weighed more than a hundred kilograms, was covered under his palm. It was as if it was weightless.

The coffin is empty.

But the careful Jin An discovered that there were indentations left by people lying there for a long time in the coffin. There were people in the coffin originally, but they were later moved away.

"Taoist Master Jin'an, what is in this coffin? Are there... dead people?" a villager asked cautiously.

Jin An said: "This is an empty coffin."

When they heard that it was an empty coffin, the villagers dared to look inside. When they saw that it was indeed an empty coffin, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief. But the parents of the missing children have become extremely anxious, and they have failed one after another. The children have not been found so far. Where have the children been hidden?

Jin An did not speak, but pushed open the coffins in other villagers' homes one after another and found that the coffins were all empty!

But they all have one thing in common, that is, there are indentations in the coffins, proving that there was someone inside before!

The corpse stitcher showed a surprised expression: "Why are all these coffins empty!"

Jin An looked at the corpse stitcher with a half-smile but not a smile, and then asked the corpse stitcher to lead the way to the place where his crazy wife was buried alive. He planned to see if there was anything strange about that place.

The place where he was buried alive was not the village cemetery, but someone randomly found a forest to bury him alive.

Obviously, the villagers who buried her alive did not want a mad woman to disturb the peace of their ancestors, and believed that a mad woman was not qualified to enter the ancestral land for burial.

It is said that the place where a person is buried has sufficient nutrients, and the surrounding shrubs will grow very lush. They realized that the further they walked into the forest, the taller and denser the surrounding trees became. Walking in this kind of forest late at night, the air was cold and gloomy. Mist began to drift in the air.

This time, they still failed. It wasn't that the body was dug up, but that the people they led didn't even dig a few pits in the right place.

"Maybe too much time has passed, people are getting old, and their memories have faded. I misremembered the place."

The corpse stitcher looked embarrassed and said: "How about if we dig a few more places, the person should be buried alive near here..."

The corpse stitcher directed the villagers to continue digging in different places.

"Old Taoist, you can use the Feng Shui divination method to see if you can find the body." Jin An took the old Taoist priest to survey the terrain nearby.

Taking advantage of the time the two were alone, Jin An went straight to the point and asked the old Taoist priest what was going on.

"Little brother, that bastard of a corpse stitcher keeps telling lies. They are all bullshit lies! This is indeed the old village of Xicai Village, but it is definitely not as simple as he said. This is a corpse raising village hidden deep in the mountains and old forests. !" The old Taoist priest had been holding these words in his heart for a long time. When Jin An asked, he immediately told all the information he knew.

"Little brother, do you still remember that when we were in the Kunlun Snow Mountains, Lao Tao once mentioned to you that when I traveled to the south of the Yangtze River in the early years, I encountered a corpse-raising village where the whole village raised corpses?"

"Grandma, as soon as I saw this old village, I immediately thought of the corpse raising village! Because that corpse raising village left such a deep impression on me!"

Jin An frowned and asked the old Taoist priest to elaborate on the reason.

At this time, both of them turned their backs to the corpse stitcher and the villagers. In the eyes of outsiders, they looked like they were immersed in carefully surveying the terrain, looking for clues about the burial place.

Speaking of this, we have to start with a group of tomb robbers.

Grave robbers are engaged in the evil deeds of digging up graves and digging up corpses. Therefore, these tomb robbers who often enter cemeteries have been exposed to underground Yin Qi, Corpse Qi, and Burial Qi for a long time. Over time, they will contract various difficult and complicated diseases and become short-lived ghosts. , this is called having money and losing your life.

But these are not the most terrifying things. The most terrifying thing is that he often steals ill-gotten gains under the eyes of the Lord of Hell. One day, he may encounter the Lord of Hell and provoke something he shouldn't provoke.

Later, some experts taught tomb robbers to raise imps or corpse wives to ward off disasters. This is not a big secret in the tomb robber industry.

The ancestors of Xicai Village were a group of tomb robbers. They didn't know what terrible thing they had provoked. They all hid in the mountains and old forests and married corpse wives to help them ward off disasters. This is why every household has a coffin. reason.

Those lying in those coffins were all adopted corpse wives.

In order to deceive others, these tomb robbers would also kidnap and sell women and use them as their living wives.

This old village was not simple at all back then. The corpse energy was soaring into the sky, and tall trees grew up, blocking out the sky and making it impossible to see the sun in broad daylight. At that time, the old Taoist priest only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to set foot in this corpse-raising village hidden in the mountains and forests. He was afraid that the corpse's gas would enter his body before he got close to the corpse-raising village, and he would die suddenly from the poison.

When we were in Kunlun Snow Mountain, the old Taoist priest even mentioned that if he had had a set of jade clothes with gold threads back then, he would have broken into the corpse-raising village and eliminated harm for the people, which would be a great merit...

Being able to see the zombie energy soaring into the sky even during the day, this is already involved in the thousand-year-old corpse king of the calamity level. The old Taoist priest's decision not to rashly break into the corpse village back then was undoubtedly very correct.

"Old Taoist, I thought that after so many years, this place might have become a bigger disaster, but I didn't expect why the corpse raising village didn't raise corpses anymore? Where did the corpse wives of the village go? Why did those tomb robbers move to the village later? Go out and live incognito?”

"Looking at the character of the corpse stitcher, it doesn't seem like he should abandon evil and do good, change his evil and return to righteousness. What happened to the corpse village decades ago?"

The old Taoist priest frowned. This incident made him silent and puzzled all the way.

Unexpectedly, there are so many secrets in Xicai Village. As expected of an old Taoist priest, he can always bring him unexpected surprises and always make people look at him with admiration.

Whether it's a corpse-raising village in the south of the Yangtze River or a escort in the northern desert, traveling all over the country, there is nothing that the old Taoist priests don't know, a living encyclopedia and a living map.

Jin An gave the old Taoist a thumbs up without hesitation.

The old Taoist priest giggled happily.

"I heard that tomb robbers who have been exposed to Yin Qi and Corpse Qi all year round are unable to have children, and all of them cut off their children and grandchildren. This can also explain why the wives of alcoholic men give birth to stillborn babies." Jin An looked at his thoughts.

"Little brother, do you believe what the corpse stitcher said?" The old Taoist priest turned his head and glanced at the corpse stitcher who was pretending to instruct the villagers to dig a hole, and murmured in a low voice.

Jin An: "For a lie to be convincing, it needs to be 70% true and 30% false. True and false can fulfill most of the logic."

"The domestically violent husband, pitiful wife, ran away, and gave birth to a stillborn child in the Empress Temple... These things should all be true. It is false that only the villagers took in the domestically abused wife..."

"This poor wife should be the living wife who was abducted and trafficked as you said. She has always wanted to escape from this devil's cave, but wherever a weak woman in the deep mountains and forests can escape, she will be caught by her husband every time. And every time A beating was inevitable. This poor woman did not believe in fate and was caught and escaped many times. Perhaps because of this, after facing the blow of stillbirth, she turned her hatred for everyone in the corpse village into eating Human obsession, this obsession even scared the ruthless gang of tomb robbers in the corpse raising village, and finally the whole village united to bury her alive."

After listening to Jin An's words, the old Taoist priest opened his mouth to say something, but in the end nothing came out. He only felt that his heart was blocked and uncomfortable, and he felt extremely heavy.

"Little brother, after we find her bones, let's take her out of this cage that drives people crazy." The old Taoist priest sighed and whispered to the Supreme Taiyi Du'e Tianzun.

Jin An nodded: "Well, not only take her away, but also take the grandmother whom Da Mao met here. I think this old lady is also one of the poor women who was abducted and sold to the corpse raising village, because these poor people have the essence of They are very different from the people in the Corpse Village. The old man’s body should also be somewhere in the Corpse Village.”

The old Taoist priest looked over: "Then shouldn't she stay away from the corpse village? Why should she return to this nightmare cave?"

Jin An: "Maybe this is why we came to this place today, to give them the truth."

"Thunder strikes a truly filial son, but a wealthy and cruel person; hemp ropes only break at thin places; disasters only attack poor people; good people never live long, and life only bullies the poor. Supreme Taiyi saves the suffering deity." Just because he saw too much. The more sadness he felt, the deeper the sorrow would be. The old Taoist priest's eyes were slightly red and he was reciting scriptures.

While the corpse stitcher was still pretending to be leading people to search for the burial place, suddenly, the sound of opera and gongs and drums came from the quiet old forest.

This sudden sound made the nervous villagers who were nervously digging in the ground to find the corpse scream out in fright, with goosebumps all over their bodies.

"Where did the singing sound come from?"

"Okay, it seems to be coming from the village..."

Da Mao's father said excitedly: "Da Mao mentioned that when they came to the old village, someone was setting up a stage to sing an opera. Could it be related to Da Mao and the others!"

"Let's go to the old village." Jin An and the corpse stitcher said in unison.

The two looked at each other, and then hurried towards the old village, or more specifically the Corpse Village, with the villagers.

Returning to the corpse-raising village, I could hear the singing and opera sounds more clearly, and the sound of bangu and erhu was even more lively. In front of the village Empress Temple, a grass stage opera troupe was set up. The actors on the stage were coming and going, which was very lively.

Just as a few children said, rows of stiff-bodied villagers sat in front of the stage, looking at the stage with expressionless faces.

Although he hid behind Jin An and the corpse maker out of fear, the fathers of several missing children still bravely looked for their children among the pile of dead people who suddenly appeared.

They looked surprised, and indeed they saw three children in the crowd. The three boys ran to the front row of the crowd and watched the show intoxicated, standing motionless like a piece of wood.

"Da Mao!"

"Ali!"

"Pillar!"

The three fathers shouted in surprise, but the three children seemed not to have heard and were still watching the show.

The old Taoist priest and the corpse stitcher collectively changed their expressions and told the three of them to silence themselves so as not to disturb the dead people. After saying that, the two of them stared nervously at the backs of the villagers who were sitting stiffly.

Fortunately, so many ghosts were still focused on watching the show and did not turn around to look.

Just when I thought of this, a woman sitting in the front row next to the three children suddenly turned her head and looked back without warning, like a ghost turning back.

"Ah!" The villagers were so frightened that they closed their eyes and shouted.

That woman was actually the Lady of the Mountain in the Empress Temple!

The corpse stitcher was right, and the Mountain Lady really came to life!

However, when the villagers opened their eyes again, they found that the back of Shan Niangniang's head was facing them, and she was concentrating on watching the show like other villagers. It was like the ghost they just saw turning around was an illusion? Hallucination?

These villagers were just ordinary people. They had never experienced anything like this. Their hearts were beating like drums, and they nervously told the corpse stitcher what they had just experienced.

"Master Cai, were we dazzled just now? Or is it true?"

The parents of the three children begged for help: "Please Master Cai, Daochang Chen, and Daoist Jin An, please save the children!"

The corpse stitcher stared at Shan Niangniang's back solemnly and did not speak.

"It's interesting." Jin An looked interested and walked towards the Empress Temple, asking the old Taoist priest to stay and look after the villagers.
