Chapter 212. Case 23: The jar of sealed bones

Master Tie Songzi interjected and told me that they didn't even know about the Bone Sealing Jar, the White Lotus Sect believed in fire nirvana, and fire was a very sacred thing to them. And the so-called nirvana is actually rebirth, and the premise of rebirth is that you must first be reborn. He paused and said that in the White Lotus Sect, there are two kinds of people who cannot enter the earth after death, one is the person with high moral integrity, and after death, these people will choose to collect the ashes into a jar after cremation, and let the descendants worship in the incense hall to inherit his great virtue. The other part of the people are those who have been punished by their own sect for treachery or great mistakes, and these people are also not allowed to enter the earth, but they are not enshrined, but are placed in dark and damp places, and are tortured during life and death.

Master Tie Songzi said that many years ago, he had personally cleaned up a scum of the White Lotus Sect, and since he was not from the same sect, it was not convenient to interfere in other people's internal affairs. After subduing the other party, it is still handed over to the opponent's division to settle on its own. The rules of the White Lotus Sect are very strict, and some small problems are not taken into account by the children of the rivers and lakes, but if they encounter major problems of principle, such as deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, such as adulterous wives and daughters, such as roosters and dogs, or using occult techniques to harm people's lives by unscrupulous means, this will be severely punished. The light one was expelled from the division by spell, and the heavy one was cut off by breaking his hands and feet, but he didn't want the other party's life, so he left a remnant life waiting to fend for himself. I snorted and said, using occult magic to hurt people's lives, isn't this what these guys are doing today? Tie Songzi said with a smile, you are still tender, when some things have a clear motive and a reason to convince everyone, no matter how wrong things are, they are not wrong. After speaking, he looked at Situ with an affectionate look.

I don't want to guess what he was saying in his eyes! I don't want to!

Situ said to me in Tie Songzi's words, you saw the ghost hand on the old man's bed, but you didn't see what the ghost looked like from beginning to end, and the distance on the bed seemed to be only a hand. So if I'm not mistaken, the ghost hands on the bed at that time were the hands that were cut off after a certain unscrupulous disciple was punished in the past. Thinking about it, even if they wanted to use ghosts, it was impossible for them to attack their ancestors.

When Situ said this, I thought it was really disgusting. Originally, our profession was originally considered a non-mainstream profession, and people who were traitors and criminals often appeared in our profession, if they did not have good talents, or did not have excessive understanding, such as me and Hu Zongren, then at least we must have a master who can teach us the correct view of right and wrong. And although what we do in today's society often touches the edge of the law to a greater or lesser extent, and even violates the law and crimes, no matter how rampant we are, we will never dare to joke with other people's lives, and occasionally make people hurt, but they will never make people disabled, which is first of all a violation of basic human ethics. No matter how unbearable and shameless a person is, his life is always as precious as ours, and taking the lives of others by any means is not a good thing to boast about.

And now I know that those disciples who have had their hands and feet chopped off have all sealed their stumps in jars, and they have not allowed the soul of this part of the body to be completely transcended. I said to Hu Zongren, it's good that we will follow that guy this time, otherwise you and I will have to deal with a pair of ghost hands that have been strictly ordered, who the knows how to deal with it.

Situ pointed to the four big characters on the portrait of "Nengwen Nengwu" and said, these four words must be the two masters of the duel when the White Lotus Sect was united. What did we say together last time, if you solve the case successfully this time, then the next case, Zi Rang should be the only place that has not been mentioned in the Four Divine Beasts, that is, in the middle. I guessed at first that the place was near Goose Ridge or Fotu Pass, since the White Lotus Sect was involved, then it would be more likely to be Fotu Pass, after all, the original name of this Buddha Tu Pass was Futu Pass, the word Futu Pass, and the White Lotus Sect also has a great origin.

Hu Zongren asked me, have you ever been to Fotu Pass? I said I had been there when I was a child, and I was not impressed. I've been to the goose ridge next to it many times. These two places are close to a very large military hospital, where people die almost every day, and the terrain of Eeling is relatively high, so some buildings have been added to it to block and suppress, and one of them was built in person. I actually thought to myself, in fact, this is not the main thing, I have been to that place many times, in fact, I covet that there is a very delicious food stall nearby, and the stir-fried crayfish is something that I eat twice and pack two servings every time I go. Hu Zongren spread his hands and said, we will know soon.

Situ said that these four divine beasts correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, but there are only four divine beasts, and you probably have to ask, why there is no earth. This central refers to the earth dragon, the earth dragon is what we call the earthworm, that is, it belongs to the earth, although the five elements are mutually reinforcing, but strictly speaking, the other four elements can be extracted from the soil, so the middle is definitely a key, of course, this is the premise of the dislocation I expected.

Just kidding, when did Situ expect to miss, despite his prediction, but I still feel that the future is uncertain. I haven't eaten all day, so after the meals are all ready, Hu Zongren and I devoured it, and it was about 11 o'clock at night after eating, so we planned to go home first and wait for the news, Situ specially advised, if you encounter new and unpredictable troubles next, and you are afraid of involving your family, send your daughter-in-law to me, and I will help you take care of it. He paused and said that they were both sisters anyway... After speaking, looking at Tie Songzi, Situ continued, Of course, there are you.

During this time, I went home relatively late, so Sister Cai was still worried. I briefly told her what I had encountered, and also said that if you feel uneasy or scared, you will live with Fu Yunni with Situ during this time. It was a very tiring day, and I fell asleep quickly after lying down. I'm a person who doesn't dream very often, because I've heard that if you dream a lot, your brain can't get rest even when you're sleeping, but that night I had a lot of strange dreams, and I felt like someone being chased by someone, and I always felt something terrible behind me, but when I had to tell me what it was, I couldn't remember anything when I woke up.

I was so worried for a few days, I don't remember the specific days, but during that period, Hu Zongren also made a special trip to my house to have a meal. It's time to take a good rest these days. About two days later, Hu Zongren called, and I had an inexplicable panic about Hu Zongren's phone call from the beginning of my contact with Xuanyuan Club, because I knew that it was probably not a good thing. Hu Zongren picked up the phone and said, Situ is right, our next stop is Fotu Pass.

In fact, in the past few days, it is impossible for me not to do any investigation and research, and I have already collected a lot of things related to Fotuguan and our incident. I have a lot of useless things in my head, but I still don't know what mysteries are hidden there. Hu Zongren told me that the phone call was from the same person from before, saying that we should go to Fotuguan from tomorrow night to find a place to hide, because someone came to steal things. We've known this for a long time, but we just haven't told each other. Hu Zongren told me that at that time, he was still pretending to be stupid and asked, what does it have to do with us, and it is not stealing our things. The other party said, let you go, you can just go, this time your task is not to solve the ghost, but to prevent the other party from stealing what they want. Hu Zongren asked him at the time, who was the other party, presumably Hu Zongren must have asked this on purpose, pretending not to know that it was the White Lotus Sect. Obviously, the other party may not have noticed that we already knew that it was the White Lotus Sect, and he may simply think that we just solved the matter of Uncle Liang, and did not delve into it. It's a pity that he didn't know that there was a master like Situ behind us, and this is the result of them underestimating us.

Hu Zongren told me that at that time, he also pretended to be angry and agreed to the other party, and promised that we would definitely go tomorrow night, but Hu Zongren asked more, saying what if we couldn't stop it? The other party's answer was, then this test, even if we lose. The consequences can be imagined. After listening to Hu Zongren, I felt that Hu Zongren and I had no room for maneuver at all, and even we had walked a long way on this one-way street, and if we wanted to escape or turn back, there was no chance at all, because we didn't know whether it was a smooth road or an abyss behind us. Hu Zongren told me, let me have a good rest at home this day, let's meet tomorrow after lunch, and bring more things that can be brought without trouble, because although we are not dealing with ghosts this time, this group of people may be more terrible than ghosts, and we must be prepared to fight.

After hanging up the phone, although I didn't tell Sister Cai about the possible fight tomorrow night, I couldn't relax if I was asked to rest. In order to ensure my strength for the next day, I went to bed early and did not wake up until almost noon. After making an appointment with Hu Zongren, we met directly at the intersection opposite the Erling Station. Because there was a unit in that place, even if anyone did follow us, they would not dare to do anything to us in front of the sentry. I told Hu Zongren that I wouldn't drive today, because if I got injured after a fight, I would drive a fart car.

I agreed with Hu Zongren a little earlier, because although Fotuguan is now a park, and is free to the public, but people are going to close at night after all, I went there when I was very young, and I have checked the area of this place on the Internet in the past few days, but it is not small, and it should not be difficult to hide from the management personnel to hide until night, but before that, we need to fully understand the terrain and make a prediction of some places that may be going.

Hu Zongren came, he has always been in jeans, but today he is wearing a pair of sweatpants. I was laughing at him for being funny, but he told me that these pants have a loose crotch and can kick a little higher when you want to kick your legs. But apparently he also knew that his dress was actually ugly, just hard-mouthed.

So he and I squatted on the side of the road and smoked a cigarette, which is so crowded that it shouldn't be a big problem. Throwing away the cigarette butt, I said to Hu Zongren, let's go, let's go.
