White Bone Monkey King

Facing the surprised looks from Jin An and the other two people, Zhang Hu briefly explained that their family lived nearby, and a murder had just occurred in Yu Mansion, so he immediately approached them to report the crime.

After hearing the explanation, the old Taoist priest and Jin An looked at each other, and then said solemnly: "My little brother and I found Yu Mansion by following the compass divination."

Compass divination?

Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao were shocked. Sure enough, none of the Taoist priests in Wu Zang Taoist Temple was simple. Taoist priest Jin'an could communicate with the gods. Even Taoist priest Chen could rely on a compass to divine a murder that had just happened in Mr. Yu's house.

As the saying goes, good luck comes better than good luck. If this is not a divine plan, what is it?

In fact, the Luo Geng Jade Plate did not predict whether someone would die tonight in Yu Mansion. The old Taoist priest had just finished repairing the Luo Geng Jade Plate and wanted to try it out to see the effect, so he thought of using the Luo Geng Jade Plate to predict the whereabouts of the last evil spirit that returned to Yang.

At first, Luo Geng's jade plate didn't have much reaction, until the old Taoist priest came up with an idea and put the evil-proof talisman that possessed the aura of the evil weapon on Luo Geng's jade plate. Finally, there was a big reaction, and he guided them all the way to Yu Mansion. As a result, as soon as he arrived at Yu Mansion, Jin An, who had a keen sense of consciousness, could see at a glance that there was a haze hanging over Yu Mansion, as if someone was feeling depressed.

The Wu Zang Taoist Temple now has a strong relationship between the government and the people, so it has more or less privileges in Jiangzhou Prefecture. For example, it is not bound by the local curfew, and it only needs to report to the Yamen in time for an explanation the next day.

The matters involved in Luo Geng's jade plate were relatively complicated. The old Taoist priest did not explain too much to the brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao. After the ambiguity was cleared up, the old Taoist priest began to ask in detail what happened to the Yu family?

The group of people walked and talked. When they saw the spontaneously igniting evil talisman, Jin An and the old Taoist priest had different expressions. Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest, and the old Taoist priest looked at the Luo Geng jade plate in his hand. Both of them were surprised. " God."

As the housekeeper of the Yu family, I have long heard about Jin An’s various deeds. The people I heard were indeed Taoist priests Jin An and Chen from Wu Zang Taoist Temple. Moreover, they could predict the misfortune of the Yu family. This old housekeeper Not even daring to neglect, he led the way respectfully, for fear of offending the two accomplished masters in front of him.

Concubine's room.

When he saw the bones on the bed, the old Taoist priest frowned.

Based on the old Taoist priest's knowledge, he could recognize at a glance that the bones were left by someone chewing on them. Some teeth marks were found on the human bones.

The words of the old Taoist priest were recognized by brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao.

The old housekeeper and the Yu family members almost fainted when they heard that Mr. Yu could eat people. The family members of Mr. Yu seemed unable to accept the cruel fact that the person next to them could eat people, so they started to make a fuss, and were finally frightened by Zhang Hu Zhang Bao.

"Nonsense! Anyone who dares to obstruct the government's handling of the case is deliberately destroying evidence at the scene and covering up the real culprit. He will be sent to jail and tortured for seven days and seven days!"

"The Wu Zang Taoist Temple has solved strange cases in Jiangzhou Prefecture in the past few months, and it is well-known. You can question the incorrect statements of Taoist Jin An and Chen, but you must not obstruct the normal handling of the case by the government. The Wu Zang Taoist Temple is a Taoist expert invited by the Yamen to help handle the case. , this is an oral order given by Master Fu Yin himself, do you even want to go against what Master Fu Yin said!"

After this set of official pressure was suppressed, the Yu family turned out to be much more honest, and Jin An and the old Taoist priests still handled the case in the Yu Mansion.

"An accident happened in the Yu Mansion tonight. As a relative, it is inevitable to be emotional. I know what happened to Mr. Yu is unbelievable, but the donor also saw it just now. The evil amulet spontaneously ignited, and there was something gathering in this room. The lingering yin energy, I'm afraid what happened to Mr. Yu is not as simple as suddenly going crazy, but more like provoking something and causing him to be possessed by something unclean." The two brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao played the bad side, and the old Taoist priest played the red face. After comforting the Yu family, the Yu family's mood was stable, and their resistance to Jin An and the old Taoist priest was much less. When they heard that their master might have provoked something unclean, the female relatives were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they hurriedly asked Can Taoist Chen have a way to exorcise evil spirits? Help the Yu family find their master?

"When I was outside the mansion just now, I saw two large stone lions at the door of Yu's house. There were also couplets of door gods written by the master on the door. It should be said that ordinary mountain spirits and wild monsters cannot enter Yu's house, so only One possibility! He was brought in!" The old Taoist priest looked serious.

ah!

The Yu family hurriedly distance themselves from each other.

The old Taoist priest explained: "Someone may not have brought it in intentionally, but it may also have been brought into the mansion accidentally, such as picking up some strange things outside or buying something with a strong negative energy."

Then the old Taoist priest asked everyone if Mr. Yu had come into contact with any weird things or weird people recently.

The family members shook their heads and didn't know anything about it.

The old Taoist priest pondered for a moment and then asked Mr. Yu if he had shown any unusual behavior recently.

The answers from the Yu family members were unanimous. Mr. Yu has been normal recently. He eats, drinks and sleeps normally, and his body shows no strange behavior.

The old Taoist priest was surprised, and then asked the Yu family if they had bought any new things recently, such as new clothes, new tea, food and drink, focusing on things related to what was eaten in the stomach. A person with strong yang fire can resist ordinary evil winds from entering the body. Unless the disease enters through the mouth, the evil winds can enter Master Yu's heart in a very short period of time without any warning in advance.

The old housekeeper suddenly said: "Speaking of this, I remembered something!"

"About ten days ago... The master returned home with a happy face and said that he encountered a top-quality wild ginseng on the way back home. It seemed to be a couple's ginseng. The master cooked it himself as if it were a treasure and would never let it go. The servants should drink a bowl of ginseng soup every night before going to bed to replenish their energy."

"It's just...the white marble porcelain bowl held by Taoist Master Jin'an."

The old butler stood with his fingers pointed at Jin An, who was playing with a porcelain bowl back and forth. The old Taoist priest, brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao came over and asked Jin An if he had discovered anything?

Jin An spread his palms and said, "Old Taoist, I can lend you your evil-proofing talisman."

The old Taoist priest took out a stack of talisman papers from the Tai Chi Bagua bag with smooth hands. Brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao were dumbfounded and looked envious. The old Taoist priest licked his fingers, took out a stack of talisman papers and handed it to Jin An. .

Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest speechlessly: "Old Taoist, it's time for you to be more hygienic."

When Jin An put the evil-proofing talisman in his hand close to the porcelain bowl, the talisman first emitted green smoke, as if it was stimulated, and then spontaneously ignited without fire.

"It seems that the source comes from that ginseng root."

Jin An looked at the old housekeeper: "Did you tell me where to put the remaining ginseng?"

The old housekeeper shook his head, but he gave another clue: "I remember that the master once mentioned that the husband and wife ginseng was bought from Cixintang."

Zhang Hu explained that Cixin Hall is not far from the Yu family, only a few streets away, but it is the only way for Mr. Yu to go home.

Jin An nodded thoughtfully, and then he used a qi-gazing technique on the entire Yu Mansion and found a place where the yin energy was stagnant, which was the Husband and Wife Ginseng that was deeply hidden by Master Yu.

Husband and wife ginseng is like a man and woman embracing each other. You have me in you, and I have you in each other's embrace. They are tightly inseparable. There has been a saying among the old people in the countryside that when something starts to look like a human being, it is time to become a spirit.

Now one-third of the couple's ginseng has been cut off, and it may have entered Mr. Yu's stomach.

When Jin An found this couple's ginseng, only an ordinary wild ginseng was left, with only a little bit of Yin Qi remaining.

It seems that all the evil energy in the couple's ginseng has entered Master Yu's belly.

Just when Jin An, the old Taoist priest, Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao left Yufu and were going to Cixin Hall to pursue clues, the nearby Yamen who received the report brought many local warriors to Yufu to investigate the case.

Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao came forward to communicate for a few words. During this period, they took out the evil amulet left after the spontaneous combustion and showed it to the yamen servant who came over. The other party showed a nervous look, and then offered to assist the Wu Zang Taoist Temple in handling the case tonight.

So the team expanded to more than 20 people and went straight to Cixin Hall.

However, the investigation into the city did not go smoothly. The shopkeeper of Cixintang said that Mr. Yu had never bought any ginseng from them. No matter how the government officials interrogated him during this period, Cixintang insisted that Mr. Yu’s husband and wife ginseng was not bought from them.

Seeing that the interrogation was fruitless, Zhang Hu came to Jin An and lowered his voice and said: "Taoist Master Jin An, based on my many years of experience in interrogating people, it seems that the shopkeeper of Cixintang is lying. He seems to really have nothing." Know."

"Could it be that the old housekeeper of the Yu family deliberately lied about his address to deceive us? In order to find an opportunity to escape? The office has handled several cases like this where thieves robbed themselves under surveillance."

It was lonely late at night, and the streets were dark, empty, and quiet. Except for a few families who were woken up to light their candles, most of the people were sleeping deeply.

Several dog barks were heard late at night, giving this empty and dark street a spooky atmosphere.

After Jin An looked around, he looked thoughtful: "If the old housekeeper didn't lie and heard correctly, Master Yu did buy Husband and Wife Ginseng at Cixintang. And the shopkeeper of Cixintang didn't lie either. Master Yu was indeed not there. Ci Xin Tang bought husband and wife ginseng. So who is lying?"

"Maybe the person didn't lie, but his eyes were deceived?"

He came to a small alley next to Cixin Hall and stood in front of it, staring deeply into the alley, as if he wanted to see what was at the end of the dark alley.

"Brother Zhang, ask the shopkeeper if anything unusual happens in this alley." Jin An turned to look at Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu doesn't need to ask the shopkeeper. As a local, he knows this place best: "I know about this. Three years ago, there was a burglary and murder case in a small alley. The method of committing the crime was brutal. After robbing the money, he also killed several people. Two families. Although the murderer has been arrested and executed in Caishikou, the people living nearby are still taboo about this small alley. They always feel that the evil spirit in this small alley is particularly strong, and something keeps lingering. The local government hired a mage to perform rituals several times, but the suspicion of the people still could not be eliminated. During the day, few people came in and out of this alley, and at night there were even fewer people. Even the business of Cixintang was affected. ."

Zhang Hu firmly believed that Jin An was an accomplished Taoist who lived in seclusion in the city. When Jin An suddenly asked about the alley, his heart moved: "Taoist Master Jin An is more capable than ordinary people like us. Did you notice something?"

Jin An pondered, then turned to look at the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, do you still remember the ghost village we experienced when we were in Chang County? People who are not dying, seriously injured, and people with weak Yang Qi cannot see it."

"Old Taoist, let me lend you that copper coin unearthed from the ground."

Jin'an's physical cultivation level is too high and his Yang Qi is too heavy. Even if he uses the Breath Condensation Technique to converge the Yang Qi, reduce the blood flow rate and reduce the strength of the blood Qi, he must use some foreign objects to suppress the last bit of Yang Qi.

Before he was about to put the copper coins in his mouth, Jin An asked the government officials to tell the shopkeeper of Cixintang to close the door and go back to sleep. No matter what noise they heard later, they should not be curious and open the window to peek. If something happened in the middle, they would be responsible for the consequences.

After hearing the words of the yamen servant, the face of the shopkeeper of Cixintang turned green immediately: "Oh my god! I knew that the fortune has been bad in the past three years, and it must be related to this alley. Master Jin'an, you concentrate on the altar and cast spells, and change the Ming Dynasty I am a pilgrim at Wu Zang Taoist Temple, so I will definitely go to Wu Zang Taoist Temple to burn more sticks of incense for the two Taoist priests!"

The shopkeeper was timid and slammed the door as soon as he finished speaking, as if he would not hear anything outside the window.

Ah.

Everyone was amused by the owner of Cixintang, which temporarily diluted the tension in their hearts.

Jin An put the copper coin into his mouth and pressed his tongue against the earthy copper coin that smelled of mud, suppressing the last bit of energy and blood in his body and constantly regulating the breath of life. The blood on his face faded and his complexion turned pale. When he opened his eyes again and looked in front of him, his eyes turned cold.

At this time, the old Taoist priest also took out a few things from his treasure bag, the Tai Chi Bagua bag, including eye drops, putting yellow talismans in his ears and eyes to seal the seven orifices, and eating uncooked rice in the middle of the night. After all the work, , his face was paler than Jin An.

After finishing all this work, the old Taoist priest looked at the small alley in front of him and took a breath: "My mother!"

The remaining government servants and village heroes were itching and curious to ask what they saw, hoping that the old Taoist priest would also help them open their eyes and let them see the world.

Facing the requests of the government servants and village heroes, the old Taoist priest shook his head: "You are wearing official uniforms, that's not possible, but brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao can give it a try."

When Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao heard this, they were very happy and asked to open their heavenly eyes.

"This is the old cow's tears that can temporarily open the eyes of the living; this is the food at the grave. The living borrows a mouthful from the dead. Don't swallow it. You will have to pay it back later. As the saying goes, 'If you borrow, you will borrow again.'" It's not difficult. Come, put these yellow talismans into your ears and nose to prevent Yang Qi from leaking and being sucked in."

When the old Taoist priest taught Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao how to do it, he looked nostalgic: "The 30-year-old corpse oil is still useful. You only need three drops of corpse oil on the top of the head and shoulders, and the effect is immediate. It's a pity that it is all used in the corpse raising village." …”

"?"

In the quiet streets late at night, the government servants and village heroes all shivered and felt a little cold on the back of their heads.

Corpse Village!

It sounds like it’s not a normal place!

When Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao looked at the Cixin Hall in front of them with pale faces, their expressions changed dramatically.

In the silence of the night, Ci Xin Tang, which was originally closed for rest, reopened for business. The three words Ci Xin Tang on the plaque of the medicine hall became——

Chixintang!

Two pale white lanterns hung in front of the medicine hall late at night, flickering on and off, illuminating the faces of brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao, making them look even paler.

What kind of world is this!

At this moment, the two brothers felt that all the sultry heat of summer had been swept away, and chills appeared in their hearts. Their scalps were numb, and they followed Jin An and the old Taoist priest into the Chixin Hall.

As soon as the four people entered the Chixintang, in the eyes of the government officials and village heroes who had not opened their eyes, they suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Everyone looked panicked and frightened.
