Holy Bone

Chapter 196 The old man in yin-yang robe!

Yin Shi.

It is the turn of day and night before dawn.

It was Yin time when Jin'an and the abbot of Bailong Temple returned to Fucheng.

It was only the last half an hour before sunrise and dawn at Maoshi.

The Taoist Primordial Spirit and the old monk Faxiang were talking about the Dragon King while walking along the way. It is still half an hour before dawn, and it is still early.

After bidding farewell to the host at the gate of Bailong Temple, Jin An continued to return to the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera.

When passing by Jia's house, the lively banquet of Jia's house was still going on, Jin An's eyes showed surprise, this Jia's house actually held a flowing banquet all night.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the Jia family with a big business.

Jin An paid attention to the meeting, and seeing that there was nothing unusual about the Jia family, his eyes were ponderous, and his spirit drifted away.

oh oh oh-

At this time, in Fucheng, the crowing of a rooster can be heard from time to time. The rooster is an ancient red bird in mythology, and the crowing of a rooster means that it is almost dawn.

It is also because of this that there are folk rumors that the crowing of a rooster can ward off evil spirits and scare away evil spirits.

Jin'an has the Yang God Yellow Talisman to protect the soul, so his soul can continue to wander outside, not afraid of the rooster crowing.

And as the rooster crows, the people in Fucheng get up early and start another busy day.

The sound of the scholar reading aloud...

The sound of the lady boss of the tofu shop opening the door to sell tofu...

The owner of the wonton stall carried the burden and started to sell wontons in the streets with bamboo sticks...

The fishermen at the river beach began another day of fishing and casting nets...

The wharf porters, whose business has plummeted, came to the wharf to look for work with half-full stomachs...

……

The various states of the world are drawn in front of this sunrise picture.

"drink!"

When Jin'an's spirit floated near a big family's house, he heard the sound of two people fighting, and it was also mixed with the sound of a woman practicing martial arts.

Jin An raised his head and looked curiously towards the direction of the sound, which was from the big family.

"Jiangfu?"

"I remember that there is one of the largest chambers of commerce in Fucheng with the surname Jiang, who controls most of the merchant ship trade and shipyards in Fucheng."

"This mansion is so majestic. The two stone sculptures in front of the door alone are two tall. It is difficult to find a more domineering mansion than this Jiang's mansion in the whole city. Even He Mansion, Xue Both the Jiangfu and the Jiafu are a little bit off. It seems that this Jiangfu should be the Jiang family of the largest chamber of commerce in this city."

According to what Jin An usually heard about the Jiang family's situation, the Jiang family's ambitions seemed to be more than satisfied with a business in Wuzhou Prefecture.

As the business grows bigger and bigger, there have been rumors in recent years that the Jiang family's fleet has begun to intend to develop into HNA, and has been working hard to find golden waterways.

If the Jiang family were allowed to find the golden waterway, after another ten years, the Jiang family would be able to develop into an incomparably rich country.

In fact, these words are not alarmist at all.

A merchant ship is as vast as a grain of dust on the vast ocean, stretching as far as the eye can see, seemingly thousands of miles away.

If there is no safe channel, merchant ships will either capsize in the ever-changing storms at sea;

But the most frightening thing is that people died of thirst at sea before carrying it for a few days.

In the boundless ocean, apart from getting lost, hidden reefs, storms, and waves, the most feared thing is not being able to find islands to replenish fresh water in time.

Therefore, whoever masters a safe golden waterway can accumulate wealth beyond rivals.

Not to mention anything else, just a one-month or two-month trip on the inland river, if it were sea merchants, they might be able to arrive in half a month with a favorable wind.

Moreover, sea-going ships can be built larger, with deeper drafts, and one load is more than several times that of inland ships.

The two ebb and flow.

The gap is getting wider and wider, and maritime merchants have larger fleets and build larger seagoing ships.

It is not surprising to occupy a large island in the future and become a king by yourself.

For details, please refer to Jizi, Xingzhou, Luzon...

Jin An quickly found the direction from Nuo Dajiang's house where the sound of martial arts came from. The main reason was that the other party was too obvious under the night sky. Burning.

It was a beautiful-looking woman of about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Regardless of her young age, this girl's personality is like a little female leopard. She has a strong personality, so strong, and fierce. She is competing with others in the open space of a martial arts hall.

The two fought fiercely.

The energy and blood of warriors on a man and a woman were burning like a ball of fire, and ordinary Xiao Xie Chong might not even be able to get close to him within ten steps.A martial artist has practiced to a high level, and he is no longer afraid of ordinary evil spirits.

The man who competed with the woman was an old man in his 60s and [-]s.

His palms were as red as a red-hot high-temperature soldering iron, and he seemed to be a master of palm kung fu.

"So strong and bloody, these two are among the first-class masters, especially the woman, who is still so young, and another generation of geniuses has risen. If they can grow up safely and don't die prematurely, they will be another one in the martial arts world. A martial arts star rookie."

"Unfortunately, this contest was doomed from the very beginning. The old man is afraid of being young. Even though the old man is a top-notch expert, he is old and frail, and his physical strength and vitality are not enough. His defeat was doomed from the very beginning."

puff!
As soon as Jin An's thoughts came to his mind, sure enough, the old man knew that his physical strength was insufficient, and he was eager to seek merit. The woman deliberately sold a loophole to stick behind him. On the chest of the old man.

The old man immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground.

lost the ability to fight.

Jin An thought this was the end of the martial arts competition, but unexpectedly, after the old man lost his ability to resist, the woman did not stop and continued to attack.

She pierced her ears with wind, and with the power of a tiger pounce on her fists, she slapped the old man's temples heavily.

"puff!"

The old man spat blood again, his face was red, his eyes were bloodshot and he fell to the ground and died suddenly.

His blood vessels were blown out by the woman.

When the woman killed the old man mercilessly, someone from the Jiang family immediately handed the woman a handkerchief to wipe the blood on her hands.

Jin An frowned.

This woman is a bit cruel.

However, before he knew the actual situation, Jin An couldn't easily criticize the Jiang family woman's right or wrong. If the old man was the assassin who broke into Jiang's house at night, it would be understandable for the Jiang family to kill him.

Next, Jiang's nursing home began to come forward to clean up the blood and corpses.

Looking at the movements of the Jiang family nurses to clean up the corpses skillfully, it seems that they are used to this kind of situation, and have cleaned up the corpses for their young lady in the martial arts hall more than once...

Jin An frowned even tighter.

After watching the meeting again, Jin An's spirit drifted away.

Return to the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera.

But not long after Jin An left, he didn't see that in a small dark courtyard of Jiang's mansion, the door opened from the inside, and a trembling old man came out.

The old man was wearing a yin and yang robe. His face and hands were covered with blue-gray age spots, and the number of age spots was densely packed, as if he had been dead for a long time and was covered with moldy corpses.

The breath on the body is gloomy and gloomy.

With the gloomy and cold breath of the coffin.

After he walked out of the house, he raised his head and glanced indifferently at a certain direction above Jiang's house.

The direction of the void is exactly the direction where Jin An's soul was just now.

At this time, a sleepy servant who had been waiting outside the house saw the old man who walked out of the house, and was chased away even if he fell asleep, so he hurried forward to help the old man.

The young man was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was the most healthy and vigorous youth. He had fine skin and tender flesh, and delicate features.

The old man was really too old.

He is so old that it is difficult for him to walk, and he needs someone to support him.

He has reached the age of exhaustion, and he looks much older than a hundred years old.

But just as the old man walked out of the house and was standing under the eaves, part of his body happened to be illuminated by the moonlight above his head, and then a strange scene happened.

The palm of the old man's hand exposed outside the sleeve, the dense, large and small blue-gray age spots, under the moonlight, changed strangely, and the age spots quickly turned into corpse spots.

Body temperature is getting colder and colder.

The body is getting more and more cloudy.

Even the skin began to turn to the grayish white of the dead, and the blood energy was rapidly decaying.

The earth has the smell of dirt, and the moon above the head has the shadow of the moon.

The most taboo of the dead is to touch the ground with their feet and let the corpse shine in the moonlight, so when the folks dispose of the corpse of the dead, they should prevent the corpse from touching the ground with its feet and shining on the moon to prevent fraudulent corpses.

The situation of the old man in the yin and yang robe in front of him is just like cheating a corpse.

The old man noticed the change in his palm, and he covered his palm with his sleeve calmly, and then looked kindly at the delicate-skinned and tender boy who was waiting at the door and came to help him, showing a kind smile: "Young man, you What's your name? You look very strange, I don't think I've seen you in Jiang's house before?"

The young servant hastily lowered his head and replied: "My name is Yuan Yan, and I am a servant who just entered the Jiang family. The housekeeper said that you like young people to serve you, and you like young people to be energetic, so you ordered me to serve you."

While speaking awkwardly, the young man moved his nostrils, as if he smelled something strange from the old man.

But he is a servant.

At this moment, he didn't dare to look up at all.

Afraid of bumping into the old man in front of him.

The old man who ran out of oil still smiled kindly and said: "Yes, yes, old man, I like young people who are full of vigor the most."

"With young people, it seems that even I feel much younger."

"As long as you can serve the master, this is Yuan Yan's blessing. The housekeeper said that you are very talkative, master. As long as you serve the master well, Yuan Yan will soon be able to collect the medicines for mother to see a doctor." The young man The servant summoned up his courage and said.

After hearing this, the old man smiled more kindly on his face.

The young servant who had been answering with his head down did not notice that the age spots on the old man's face were gradually turning into corpse spots under the moonlight and spreading rapidly.

"Unexpectedly, he is still a filial son. I am really touched by the old man."

"Yuan Yan, apart from your sick old mother, do you have other relatives?"

The old man in yin and yang robes was exhausted, his body was lifeless.

And walking behind the old man covered with age spots, he saw that the light in his room was dark, and he couldn't see the other layout of the house clearly, only a black-painted iron-wood coffin.

But at this time the black coffin opened.

"I am the only family member of my mother." The young servant replied respectfully.

"It's nice to be young..."

"Tender skin and tender meat..."

"It's really enviable and nostalgic..."

"Yuanyan, I'm a little sleepy, help me back to the house."

The young servant said respectfully: "Okay, master."

When the young man helped the old man in the yin-yang robe back to the house, the door was closed with a bang, and the room was plunged into darkness.

Soon after, noises started coming from the house.

There is a bloody smell permeating under the moon.

After about a stick of incense, the originally dark room was lit with candles, and then the door was opened from the inside, only an old man in yin and yang robes came out, and the young man was not seen.

At this time, the corpse spots on the old man's face, hands, and body in the yin-yang robe have receded, and even the age spots have faded a lot, as if he was a few years younger at once, and even his legs and feet are more agile.

This time when he went out, he no longer looked like he had run out of oil and had to be helped by someone before.

Even the body temperature has warmed up a lot.

Vigorous.

When the old man in the yin-yang robe came out this time, there was already a young man standing in the yard outside the door.

"Sir, why did you wake up from your deep sleep early? Didn't you say that you won't wake up until the passage is opened?"

The young man asked respectfully.

At this time, the old man in the yin-yang robe who has recovered his vitality and blood, even standing under the moon, the old age spots on his body no longer turned into corpse spots. He stood in the yard like a normal person, looking up at the moon: "I sensed that the passage opened Soon, during the days when I was sleeping, did any major events happen in Fucheng?"

"During the days when my husband was sleeping, several major events did happen in Fucheng. One was that the Yinyi River was cut off, and hundreds of people died in the government; the other was the Dragon King case; the third was the civil strife in Bailong Temple; The young lady who drowned and was captured by the Dragon King to become the water god empress came back again, last night the Jia family had a whole night banquet, sir, you must save me, that stinky bitch must have come ashore to kill me."

The young man asked for help from the old man in the yin-yang robe.

This person is obviously Zong Ren's nephew who was killed by his uncle and nephew and snatched away the pieces of Luo Geng's jade plate!

Unexpectedly, after he came back that night, he sneaked into Jiang's house.

"Oh? She drowned in the Yinyi River, and was captured by the Dragon King and became the Goddess of Water. She was full of resentment, and her three souls and seven souls were all in the Yinyi River. How did she get ashore?"

Zong Ren said in a panic: "Someone must have gone into the water to find the corpse and carried this stinky bitch on their backs!"

"Thanks to looking back before I went ashore that night, I found out early that the boat was scuttled, and she and the boat sank into the river on the bank. Without me telling the exact location, no one knew that she and the boat sank Where is the corpse? But just yesterday, the Jia family threw a big banquet for her! She went ashore yesterday! I don’t know who brought her ashore. She is a dead person. The person who fished the corpse ashore, he has no idea how terrifying the Water Goddess is, and many, many people will die in this city!"

"Sir, I dedicate the pieces of Luo Geng's jade plate to you, you must save me!"

The old man in the yin-yang robe pondered: "Tomorrow I will personally visit Jia's house to see what's going on."

After the old man finished speaking, he no longer cared about Zongren, but turned his head to look in the direction of the gate of the courtyard: "Miss Eight is here."

"Master."

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman walked in from the yard, and saluted the old man with fists in her hands.

It was the ruthless Miss Jiang family.
