Mr. Liang noticed at a glance that each coffin had a stick of incense sticks that had been burned out.
When he learned from Shen Zhuxiao that these incense sticks were offered to the deceased by Jin An and the old Taoist priests, Mr. Liang had an expression of awe on his face.
He saluted the two of them solemnly,
He said that this was the senior brother who died on his behalf, and these deceased people thanked Jin An and the old Taoist priest.
Next, everyone started to get down to business, which was to save the living piles.
This corpse was not buried in the ground, but was placed in the air on a bench and mixed in the many coffins in Yizhuang. This means that the most eye-catching places are often the least eye-catching, so you are not afraid of being remembered.
Jin An nodded in agreement: "I know this. It's like an old Taoist priest holding an oilcloth umbrella in his hand and unable to find an umbrella, walking back to the Taoist temple in the rain."
Old Taoist priest: "Huh?"
A dead person who has not closed his eyes and has a lingering breath in his throat cannot be forcibly buried, because the earth has earth energy, burial energy, and is cold in nature. In the south, there is a lot of rain, and the underground moisture is colder and heavier, making it easier for evil corpses to grow. If the dead are forcibly buried, zombies will emerge that are dead but not zombies.
Jin An helped Mr. Liang, and together they took apart the coffin nails and pushed open the coffin lid. Unexpectedly, the interior of the coffin was frescoed with cinnabar scriptures and filled with glutinous rice.
Glutinous rice belongs to Yang and has the effect of removing toxins and expelling evil spirits.
Today, less than half of the snow-white glutinous rice has been blackened by corpse poison.
Mr. Liang used his palm to spread the top layer of glutinous rice, revealing a small coffin inside the big coffin, which turned out to be a child's coffin.
The old Taoist priest looked livid and cursed: "What a crime! Those who build temples or fish for vaginas like to use children to make living stakes!"
"Why?" Everyone except Mr. Liang looked at the old Taoist priest.
Including Jin An is also curious and waiting for the answer.
The old Taoist priest angrily explained: "The principle of driving stakes is to use evil spirits to suppress evil spirits. Small and medium-sized ghosts are the most difficult to deal with. Therefore, Luban's disciples like to use children to drive stakes. This is one reason. The other reason is that children are easy to kidnap and traffic. The sudden disappearance of a living person will attract too many people's attention, but the disappearance of a child does not attract as much attention as that of adults. Thirdly, the poorer the place, the more boys are valued over girls, and the more little girls are sold."
"After children, the people who are suitable for driving piles are beggars, refugees, fools, and deaf-mute people. These types of people have one thing in common, that is, they live too transparently, and they don't even disappear ten or eight times a month. Get people's attention."
"But..." The old Taoist priest frowned.
"There is another kind of person who is also suitable for driving a dead stake, and that is the person who was beheaded at Caishikou."
"Most of these people are extremely vicious, and they die miserably after being beheaded in public, so some rich people like to use the corpses of these death row criminals to press them under the foundation to ward off evil spirits. These rich people will bribe the Yamen in advance The person secretly took the body away after the beheading."
"But this coffin is so small, it can't possibly be the person beheaded by Caishikou."
Mr. Liang looked at the old Taoist priest in surprise: "Taoist Master Chen knows a lot."
The old Taoist priest cursed and said that he and these human traffickers were inseparable. He also said that if he were an old Taoist, he would definitely not save those villagers and let them fend for themselves.
Among the people present, only Jin An knew that the old Taoist priest was speaking out of anger. If such a thing happened to the old Taoist priest, he would probably be like Mr. Liang and couldn't bear to sit back and watch the villagers suffer, so he would take action to help the villagers.
"Plundering and selling human beings is a serious crime against heaven and human ethics. According to the laws of Kangding, the crime is punishable by hanging. From parents to wives and children, they will all be punished with a hundred canes and exiled for three years. The buyer knowingly commits the crime is also guilty. Taoist priest Chen is right,
All human trafficking is a capital crime, and the villagers also know that it is a capital crime with consecutive sentences, so they dare not abduct and traffic people to lay a stake. In fact, this small coffin contains the third type of person that Daochang Chen just mentioned." Mr. Liang did not have it.
To show off, he used his fingertips to gently erase the cinnabar ink fountain thread that sealed the gap in the coffin cover, then opened the small coffin, revealing the body tightly wrapped in a Taoist robe.
It was an adult corpse.
But only the lower body.
The old Taoist priest exclaimed in surprise: "These are two corpses that were chopped in half!"
According to Mr. Liang's account, the man who died this time was the leader of a group of bandits and had committed many murders. Therefore, he was sentenced to death by the Yamen and was taken to Caishikou and beheaded in public. At that time, several villages in Yin County failed to build bridges several times.
It was successful, so he asked someone to find someone from the Yin County government office and spent a lot of money to buy the half body.
Death row inmates like these who have been sentenced to death and are full of grievances are quite popular among the people, and the other upper parts of their bodies have been bought by other buyers.
At first, those mountain villages were interested in the upper body, but in the end because they didn't have enough money, they had to choose the lower body, which was one-third cheaper.
At first, Mr. Liang's reaction was the same as that of the old Taoist priest. He thought those villages were using living people to build bridge piles and was unwilling to help.
"good!"
"If you bury it well, you can make the best use of it and give them a chance to atone for their sins!"
The old Taoist priest who had been scolding the villagers angrily before saw that the coffin contained not a child but a murderer, he immediately changed his mind and praised the villagers.
The lower body of the two corpses, which had been suppressed by Taoist robes and several magical weapons, suddenly began to billow with black energy, which was the evil energy of a very evil person.
It was the first time for ordinary warriors in the martial arts world to see a dead person pretending to be a corpse, and all of them turned pale with fright: "You also have two legs and ears that can hear Master Chen scolding him?"
At this time, the two corpses kicked their legs, opened their Taoist robes, jumped up into the sky, and went straight towards the old Taoist priest. Suddenly, the entire Yizhuang was filled with the smell of corpses.
"Be careful, Daochang Chen! This corpse is too fierce. It is heading towards you! Others, please hold your breath and don't inhale the corpse gas!"
In fact, Mr. Liang didn't need to remind him that the old Taoist priest had already taken out several things from his Tai Chi bag and threw them at the two corpses. They were a handful of glutinous rice and a few pieces of yellow talisman paper to suppress corpses.
The two sections of corpse were so full of evil that even the Taoist robes could not suppress them. Those glutinous rice and corpse-suppressing charms that came into contact with its body, apart from exploding sparks, could not stop the menacing lower body of the two sections of corpse.
The explosive power of the old Taoist priest was not inferior to that of the two-part corpse. He had just thrown out the glutinous rice and the corpse-suppressing charm, and had already taken out something else from the Tai Chi Bagua bag, which was thirty-year-old corpse oil.
He planned to pour out the corpse oil and give the two corpses a blow to suppress the evil.
"Taoist Master Chen, let me help you!" Mr. Liang was about to save the old Taoist priest. Suddenly, a man jumped up on the spot, raised one arm, grabbed the two legs of the corpse flying in the air, and then smashed it hard against the ground.
boom!
The force was so ferocious and astonishing that it directly created a pit in the ground of Yizhuang, and then was instantly ignited into a torch by the high-temperature black flames, burning everything in the pit.
Avenue induction!
A thousand virtues!
The change in front of them happened so fast that everyone present was dumbfounded. Even Mr. Liang, who was holding a mahogany sword and wanted to save the old Taoist priest, was stunned on the spot, looking at the two corpses subdued by one move in a daze.
