Chapter 41: The Tomb of Clothes (Thanks to the leader @'Tao Xing Monk')
Jin'an heard this.
Big surprise.
Why wasn't the Yin soldier taking advantage of the passage and injuring the old Taoist priest?
Instead, he hurt the old Taoist priest?
So I quickly asked what was going on.
"I am indeed right, little brother. Your fate is too hard, little brother. It is so hard that you will never see the ancients in the past or the coming ones in the future!"
"Even the Yin soldiers took advantage of the passage and were driven back by the little brother with a loud shout!"
"Even if the old Taoist is implicated, my soul is frightened!"
Jin An was confused for a moment and didn't know what the old magician was talking nonsense about.
I thought to myself, could this old magician become insane because he was seduced and his three souls and seven souls did not come back intact?
The old Taoist priest did not rush to explain immediately.
Instead, he asked Lin Heshun to help him go to the yard.
The old Taoist priest was frightened by Jin An's voice. His soul was hurt and he could not recover in a short time. He is now weak.
The body, energy, and spirit suffered a loss.
After walking a few steps, I had to stop and take a breather.
Jin An followed the old Taoist priest and wanted to see what medicine the old Taoist priest was selling in the gourd.
Unexpectedly, after the old Taoist priest came to the courtyard, he actually gave an unexpected order to the men of the Lin family who were guarding the coffin!
The old Taoist priest actually wanted to open the coffin!
The few men who were guarding the coffins of the Lin family were so frightened that their bodies trembled, and they were all slightly tipsy and frightened to the back of their heads.
"Daozhang Chen, it's the middle of the night when the evil spirits are the heaviest. We don't dare to open this sinister coffin! Otherwise, if the dead person inside is found dead, I have an old mother above me and a wife and daughter below. I can't let my mother-in-law
You have become a widow for me so early!"
These Lin family men all shook their heads like rattles.
No matter what, he refused to go up and open the coffin.
At this time, even Jin An had to wonder whether the old Taoist priest was possessed by some evil spirit.
As a result, the old Taoist priest once again made a shocking statement: "Don't worry about opening the coffin. The master buried in the white coffin is gone."
"Now there is only an empty coffin left in the white coffin."
"There is no danger in opening the coffin now."
The old Taoist priest is really speechless and will never stop talking.
The people in the yard immediately started shouting and screaming.
"Impossible!"
"Our brothers guard the coffin day and night, and no one can get close to it or open the coffin!"
"Tao Zhang Chen, you see that the ink lines tied on the surface of the white coffin are still there. How could the people inside crawl out of thin air and disappear?"
While everyone was chatting with each other, someone hesitated to answer: "Could it be that someone stole the body from under the coffin? We can't seem to see the ink line under the coffin..."
As a result, others immediately refuted: "I think you drank too much, Kuizi, and your head is full of water. If the body was stolen from under the coffin, the circle of lime powder under the coffin would have been stepped out long ago."
There are footprints."
"Besides, there are a few long benches supporting the coffin. Tell me, how can we do it without leaving any footprints or moving the benches and stealing the body?"
In the yard, a group of big men were shouting and making noisy noises.
It was said that they had people guarding the coffin during the day and at night, so there was no way anyone could steal the body under their noses.
Finally, after repeated assurances from the old Taoist priest that nothing would happen, the men guarding the coffin from the Lin family fearfully agreed to open the coffin.
Several men found tools and cut the cinnabar ink lines on the surface of the white coffin. Then, one, two, three, shouting in order, they struggled to push open the heavy white coffin made of iron birch.
Boom!
The lid of the 100-pound coffin fell heavily to the ground.
Eighty-nine people in the yard, including Jin An, all approached the white coffin out of curiosity. When everyone saw it, the Lin family gasped in fright, with panicked expressions on their faces.
Only Jin An and the old Taoist priest could remain calm.
I saw that the white coffin was empty!
The body in the white coffin is missing!
Only a red robe was left, which was left in the white coffin and became a tomb!
"Daozhang Chen, what on earth is going on?"
"Why is this happening?"
"You've been a bit nagging tonight. The disappearance of the corpse in the white coffin has something to do with the Yin soldiers taking advantage of it tonight?"
Day and night defense prevented the body-stealing tangerine peel and shuanzi!
But who would have thought that the body in the white coffin would disappear right before your eyes!
Jin An really had too many questions and surprises in his heart. All of a sudden, he asked the old Taoist priest a barrage of questions.
Don't say Jin An can't figure it out.
The people guarding the coffin of the Lin family were all very frightened. In the middle of the night, their bodies were cold and their eyes were frightened.
This is so weird!
So creepy!
The old Taoist priest, who looked a little bad, had a complicated expression on his face: "Little brother, do you still remember that when you and I parted ways today, I mentioned something to you, about the Yin soldiers that Lin Lu's family heard about a few days ago.
Borrowing the news?"
Jin An nodded thoughtfully.
The old Taoist priest pointed to the white coffin and continued: "That day, the Yin soldiers took advantage of the passage and took away the master in the white coffin."
"Little brother, you must be very curious. During that time, I was still trapped in the mountains rescuing people. How could I possibly know this?"
The old Taoist coughed several times and continued: "Actually, Old Taoist, I returned to Chang County during the day today. If I carefully inspect the corpse in the white coffin, I will be able to see the owner of the white coffin during the day.
Already left."
"It's a pity that I really made a mistake this time, because I was too exhausted after toiling in the mountains for several days. During the day, I only opened a crack and took a quick look, mistakenly taking the burial clothes in the coffin to be a corpse.
Now, I hurriedly repaired the ink line that was damaged by the second batch of corpse thieves, and rushed to Deshan Building to answer the appointment."
"If I had been more careful then, I wouldn't have discovered it until now..."
"And the Yin soldiers tonight are not here to kill you and me, but the powerful master in the white coffin wants to invite you and me to her house in Wuzhou Mansion.
After preparing generous gifts to express my gratitude, she has cut off the body and successfully cultivated human immortality."
"How could I have known that, little brother, your destiny is too tough? Not only were the Yin soldiers forced to retreat by you, but even I, the old Taoist, was not injured by the Yin soldiers. In the end, I was frightened by you, little brother."
The old Taoist priest complained about Jin'an.
If it weren't for Jin An's roar of anger.
Now maybe they have all arrived at Wuzhou Prefecture and received the generous gift from the other party to express their gratitude.
What is the gift of the dead?
Naturally, they are the burial objects such as gold, silver, jade, etc.
Jin An: "..."
"Wuzhou Prefecture is far away from Chang County. Even by boat or taking the fastest waterway, it would take several days to get there. How could it be possible that we have arrived now?"
Old Taoist priest: "This is your cognitive misunderstanding, little brother."
"The Yin soldiers took advantage of the road, but it cannot be measured by the feet of the Yang world. Little brother, have you ever heard that some people wake up at night and find themselves thousands of miles away? When the rooster crows and dawn comes, people are back thousands of miles away.
At home?”
After listening to the old Taoist priest's words, Jin An thought about it carefully for a while.
This is really the truth.
But Jin An remembered another thing: "Isn't the mansion of the dead a ghost house or a tomb? She invited us to sit in the tomb. Are you willing to go?"
Anyway, Jin'an felt uneasy.
I definitely wouldn't just go to someone else's grave and join in the fun.
Not to mention whether it will shorten your life.
It's quite scary just thinking about it.
"Uh." The old Taoist priest who originally complained about Jin'an suddenly became silent.
Then he said: "These gold, silver and jade articles are burial objects for the dead. They are artifacts from the underworld. Living people will lose their life if they take them. I am just talking casually. Why should I be so serious, little brother?"
Jin An: "Haha."
Jin An said nothing and let the old Taoist priest experience these two words by himself.
Old Taoist priest: "..."
He was so stunned by Jin An's words that he couldn't say anything in reply.
After Jin An asked the Lin family to re-cover the coffin, he asked the old Taoist priest what to do with the white coffin.
The old Taoist priest said to wait until dawn and find a good place to bury it. Since the other party left the burial clothes as a tomb, he probably wanted us to bury the white coffin properly. In any case, this white coffin was the residence of the murderer.
If the "home" is not fully protected, it will come back one day.
Why does Jin An feel that the old Taoist priest's words are getting more and more scary the more he hears them?
So he changed the topic and said: "Daozhang Chen, you have said so much. It seems that you stayed with those underworld soldiers tonight and learned a lot. Then do you know the true identity of the female corpse in the white coffin and why she died tragically after her body and head were separated?"
?”
"!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jin An finished speaking, the old Taoist priest's face suddenly turned serious.
The old Taoist priest avoided the others and whispered: "The murderer is the daughter of Fu Yi who was just buried not long ago."
Jin An was also frightened.
Fu Yi, isn't that a high-ranking official of the second rank?
"If she was Fu Yi's daughter, why did she die so miserably?"
"Even the head is separated."
The old Taoist priest just shook his head. He couldn't know such secret things.
