Chapter 1379 Pregnant female corpse? Pregnant male corpse?
"I see."
Zhang Zhuzhu suddenly became serious, leaving Jin An a little confused.
Jin An: "What did you suddenly understand?"
Zhang Zhuzhu said solemnly: "Taoist Master Jin'an, you are a living god. You must be focused on asking questions and practicing in seclusion. How can you have time to care about the affairs of men and women in the world?"
?
Jin An: "Well, you clearly meant this?"
Zhang Zhuzhu looked at Jin An in confusion: "What else?"
"Taoist Master Jin'an, what do you think it is?"
Jin An shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, I thought you had an impression of this place, and suddenly recalled some important clues."
Facing Jin An's answer, Zhang Zhuzhu looked like he was hesitant to speak.
Holding a torch in his hand, Jin An looked around the gloomy corpse pavilion in front of him and said to Zhang Zhuzhu: "If you have anything to say, it's okay to just say it."
Zhang Zhuzi asked cautiously: "Taoist Master Jin'an, are you trying to change the topic related to Mr. Yiyun in what you said just now?"
Jin An: "..."
"Uncle Zhuzi, do you have any impression of this corpse pavilion in your memory?"
Zhang Zhuzhu: "..."
"Taoist Master Jin'an, you have forgotten. I just said in the secret passage that we were only responsible for building the temple and never went down here."
"Oh, yes, there are many doubts here. Uncle Zhuzhu, please be more careful. Let's look carefully to see if there are any other clues." Jin An suddenly realized that he was so thick-skinned that he could tell lies without any embarrassment.
Because it looks like a pavilion from the outside, with a roof, tiles, and beams, Jin An temporarily named this place the Corpse Pavilion.
The area of this corpse pavilion is the same as that of an ordinary pavilion. The only difference, which is also the biggest difference, is that the height from the ground is too high, about two to three feet high.
With such a high height from the ground, it doesn't look like it's a place for people to live.
In Feng Shui, the first condition for people to live in a house is to gather Qi. The house can be large, but the bedroom should not be too large to avoid being unable to hide the anger, which will make living people uncomfortable and cause various psychological and physical problems if they live there for a long time.
The height difference is two to three feet high. It is too high, and it is destined to be unable to gather energy.
And the fact that so many people are empty-handed in front of us fully proves this point.
In the process of searching for clues, the two of them had to pass by empty human skin bags from time to time. Zhang Zhuzhu discovered a detail: "Priest Jin'an, have you noticed that these people, human skins, have very calm expressions on their faces?"
…Don’t they feel pain when they’re skinned?”
Jin An, who was walking ahead with a torch in his hand, casually replied: "Pay attention to the scratches on the skin on their backs. Maybe they took off their skins by imitating cicada pupae."
ah?
Jin An's casual words would be frightening to ordinary people's ears.
After searching around, I couldn't find any clues, but I did find the entrance and exit of the Corpse Pavilion.
"It seems that there are no clues here. Even if there were any clues, they are probably no longer here." When Jin An said this, he looked up at the hole in the roof.
Zhang Zhuzhu was not stupid. He heard the overtone of Jin An's words, looked at the dark hole hanging above his head, and swallowed nervously.
Before, standing outside and looking at the black hole felt like an abyss. Now looking at the black hole from below, the atmosphere is even more terrifying... It's like there is a person lying on top of their heads staring at them. If you look straight for a long time, you will even have the illusion that the black hole is following you.
As his eyes move, he also moves to stare at himself.
People in a claustrophobic environment have a weak aura and cannot avoid random thoughts. Fortunately, the sound of Jin An's leaving footsteps brought Zhang Zhuzhu back to reality from his shock in time.
Seeing that Jin An was walking towards the entrance of the Corpse Pavilion, he chased after him and said thankfully: "Thanks to you, Taoist Priest Jin An, for meeting me this time. I didn't expect that there are so many weird things hidden under the temple. Otherwise, I..."
Before Zhang Zhuzhu finished speaking, Jin An pushed open the old wooden door of the corpse pavilion.
As soon as he opened the door, a tall black shadow of a person rushed towards him from outside. The black shadow brought a dark wind and poured it in. Puff, puff, the torches in their hands were extinguished at the same time, plunging the corpse pavilion into permanent darkness.
This was really what he said. Zhang Zhuzhu was so frightened that he forgot what he said and his mind went blank for a moment.
Just when Zhang Zhuzhu was about to call out to Jin An in panic, a hand suddenly covered his mouth and nose in the darkness, and his hair suddenly exploded!
Fortunately, he was brave enough, otherwise he would have turned his head and ran away in fear. Feeling the warmth from his palm, knowing that this hand came from a living person, Jin An, he immediately calmed down as if he had received reassurance.
After calming down, Zhang Zhuzhu stood in the darkness and did not dare to move around. In the darkness, he nodded to indicate that he had recognized Jin An. At the same time, he opened his eyes wide, trying to see clearly what was hidden behind the darkness.
What's behind the corpse pavilion door...
He was obviously afraid of seeing something, but also eager to see clearly what was in the darkness, with fear and curiosity in his eyes.
As Zhang Zhuzi nodded, the palm covering his mouth and nose was taken away.
Zhang Zhuzhu was overjoyed, it turned out to be Taoist Priest Jin'an.
However, Jin An's behavior next made Zhang Zhuzhu confused. Jin An did not light the torch immediately, nor did he continue to leave the Corpse Pavilion. Instead, he led him back into the Corpse Pavilion without advancing.
As the door of the charnel house was heard to be closed again in the darkness, the flames of the torch illuminated the charnel house again.
"Taoist Master Jin'an just now..." Seeing the light again, Zhang Zhuzi couldn't wait to ask, but he was startled by the extra person, and his voice stopped abruptly.
To be more precise, the extra person was not a living person, but a mummified dead person. It was also the complete corpse in the true sense that they saw after going down the dark tunnel, with a head, skin, and flesh and blood. But because the death of a person is too
Over time, the body became dehydrated, the body shrank severely, and the wrinkled skin turned black overall.
Jin An quickly explained the origin of the mummy. It turned out that the mummy was brought in by Jin An. The mummy died outside the corpse pavilion. When he opened the door just now, the mummy dumped into the corpse pavilion, and the wind blew up the two people.
Torch.
Hearing that the mummy was brought in by Jin An and not by a fake corpse, Zhang Zhuzhu was about to relax and breathe a sigh of relief, but Jin An covered his mouth and nose again.
Zhang Zhuzi's eyes widened in confusion.
Jin An shook his head solemnly: "Don't let the yang energy of a living person touch the dead."
Zhang Zhuzhu heard some taboos between the living and the dead mentioned by the village elders before, and nodded hurriedly to express his understanding.
It is rare to encounter a complete corpse, and this time it can be said that the progress is very big. Maybe there are important clues hidden in this mummy, which is why Jin An took the initiative to take the mummy back to the corpse pavilion.
Zhang Zhuzi was surprised: "Why is this mummy's belly so round? Could it be that it was a pregnant woman's corpse?"
Jin An, who was conducting the autopsy carefully, was amused by Zhang Zhuzhu's words: "This is a male corpse, how could it be possible that she was pregnant?"
Zhang Zhuzi's face was full of embarrassment.
He was so nervous that he only noticed the most prominent features of the mummy and ignored more details.
Jin An continued to add: "Even a pregnant woman with a baby in her belly will have a shrunken belly after becoming a dehydrated mummy, and the characteristics will not be so obvious."
"The belly of this mummy is round and swollen. There must be something hidden in it. Only by cutting open its belly can we know what is hidden."
