From Jiu Shu's world

Henry Zhang was stunned by this question, what is this for?

Huai Bailiu saw his doubts, and said: "You come with me, this matter is a bit tricky."

He paused and then explained: "If you didn't come here by chance this time, I'm afraid I would have to go to the bamboo forest to find Simu to help. Whether it is solved or not, I will give you what you want."

Seeing his words, Henry Zhang nodded and said: "Take it on, and follow the seniors over there to see the situation."

The question and answer between the two stunned Liu Qi next to him. This young man actually wanted to follow?This is impossible, he hurriedly said: "Master Huai, how can this be done, he can't be an outsider..."

Before he finished speaking, Huai Bailiu snorted coldly: "Hmph, he can't, you can?"

Liu Qizhi fumbled "This...this..." a few times, unable to speak, so he had to lead the way with Huai Bailiu and Henry Zhang to Liu's house with a bitter face.

The Liu family is a well-known big family in Qinglin Town. The wood business is headed by this family. Among the mountains, several hills are their homes. Among them, there are countless trees, which are enough for future generations to be rich.

In addition to this rich name, this Liu family also has a good name. The local people jokingly call it "Phoenix Nest" and "Phoenix Nest". Why?

That's because the Liu family has a daughter and no children, a pair of twins, bright and charming, they are a pair of pearls in this Qinglin Town, whoever marries them, half of the wealth of this Qinglin Town will fall to him, this It is an out-and-out pair of golden phoenixes.

But tonight, it happened to the second lady, Liu Jingxuan, one of the jewels.

The Liu family's house is near the center of the town. The house is very large, with three entrances and three exits. The attic of the house is mainly made of wood.

It was already late at night when Henry Zhang and Huai Bailiu arrived, and the street was dead of night, but this Liu’s house was brightly lit.

With Liu Qi leading the way, the two of them traveled unimpeded all the way to the inner palace.Along the way, Henry Zhang and Huai Bailiu saw a lot of panic-stricken servants, some were busy doing things, and some gathered together to whisper, everyone looked panic-stricken.

Walking all the way in a hurry, Henry Zhang didn't have time to ask what happened to Huai Bailiu, but after entering Liu's house to observe carefully, he felt that the funeral might not be simple.

Liu Jingxuan's room is in this harem, and there is a small quiet yard outside the room, but now the yard is full of people, crying constantly.

Henry Zhang and Huai Bailiu walked in, and Liu Qi had already stepped forward and respectfully said to a middle-aged man: "Master, Master Huai is here."

This 50-year-old middle-aged man is Liu Zhengyang, the head of the Liu family. He heard Huai Bailiu coming. Although he looked sad, he still wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, walked over vigorously, and said to Huai Bailiu : "Uncle Huai, Jingxuan her"

Huai Bailiu has a very high seniority and ability in Qinglin Town, so Liu Zhengyang mostly refers to him by his seniority.

Huai Bailiu had already heard about the situation from Liu Qi before he came, but now he doesn't need to provoke this man who lost his daughter.

He waved his hand and said: "You don't need to talk about it, I already know about the Second Miss. Now go and see the Second Miss's jade."

Liu Zhengyang sighed heavily, and said in a choked voice, "Uncle Huai, come with me."

Huai Bailiu followed Liu Zhengyang to Liu Jingxuan's room, and when he was about to enter the room, Liu Zhengyang noticed that Henry Zhang was also coming in.Can't help asking: "Uncle Huai, who is this?"

Huai Bailiu said: "He is my friend's nephew, a high-ranking disciple of Maoshan, I'm afraid this matter will have to be resolved by him."

After hearing this, Liu Zhengyang's eyes lit up, he had a little more hope, and he cupped his hands and said, "Please sir."

His voice was a little tired, but his respect remained the same.

The furnishings in the room are very beautiful and exquisite, worthy of being the boudoir of my daughter's family.But now it was unusually quiet, except for the crying of the boudoir with the white cloth curtain hanging.

At this time, there were quite a few people in the room. A beautiful middle-aged woman in brocade clothes, with tears in her eyes, cried, "My Jingxuan, why did you leave?"

She couldn't make a sound, and fell down here crying.Beside her was a young and beautiful woman, her eyes were red, sobbing softly, supporting her mother all the time.

Liu Jingxuan died unexpectedly, and the security team of Qinglin Town also sent someone here. The security team leader saw Huai Bailiu coming in, and came over respectfully and whispered: "Master Huai."

Huai Bailiu is not as good-tempered as Uncle Jiu, whoever provokes him is capable, and he will curse him for three or two days.The captain of the security team didn't dare to show him face.

Huai Bailiu hummed, and regardless of the captain of the security team, he walked to the side, opened a corner of the white cloth curtain, and looked inside, his face darkened.

Henry Zhang also glanced along this corner, only to feel a chill, his eyes froze, and he thought: What a cruel method, what a clever method.

What do you think happened to Liu Jingxuan's corpse?

It turned out to be a skinless corpse, with red flesh exposed, so scary.

Chapter 1 Seventeen: Skinning and Dismantling the Bones

Ninety percent of a beauty's beauty lies on that piece of flamboyant, bright and moving skin, but this Miss Liu's family has been stripped of her human skin, leaving only a corpse with her red muscles exposed. It looks very scary.

And Henry Zhang could see that the skinned person might have peeled it off for her for the sake of the purity and flawlessness of the human skin.This Liu Jingxuan suffered a lot of crimes during her lifetime, so that the corpse was very resentful, and if something bad happened, it would turn into a zombie or something.

This skinning is naturally extremely cruel, but Henry Zhang's "very clever technique" is not false. Although it is scary to pour this female corpse without skin, but if you take a closer look, it is neatly dressed, without any drops of blood. The fat on the body seems to have been shaved off, without hurting the muscles, just like a work of art, really clever.

It’s just that the more Henry Zhang looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be something wrong with this female corpse.He looked up and down, wondering what the problem was.Suddenly he noticed that the female corpse's forearm was slightly bent, and he was shocked, could it be...

He touched it with his hands, and sure enough, the forearm didn't feel right, it was a little limp, and it turned out that there were no bones.What a skinned and boned female corpse, it can't be seen from the outside.

Henry Zhang wanted to ask questions, but he glanced at the people in the room and put the words in his heart.Huai Bailiu saw that Henry Zhang had finished investigating the situation, so he put down the white cloth curtain, turned his head and said to everyone: "We have seen the jade body of the second lady, I will make a coffin for her first, and send it here before dawn. Others Things, let’s talk about it later.”

Huai Bailiu accepted the matter aloud, and Liu Zhengyang said in a deep voice, "Please, Uncle Huai."

The captain of the security team also had a happy expression on his face. It would be great if someone helped him.

Henry Zhang followed Huai Bailiu out of Liu's house and returned to Bailiu's coffin shop.As soon as he entered the door, Huai Bailiu said, "If you have any questions, just ask."

Henry Zhang asked: “What the hell is going on?”

Huai Bailiu didn't even look back, he was fiddling with his tools and packing up the wood, he said, "What's going on? I don't know, but this is already the fourth skinned and boned corpse in half a year."

He sighed and said: "At the first time, I didn't go to see it, I just heard the rumors. I thought it was just an ordinary murder case, so I didn't care. But there was another one, and the security team invited me to see it, only then did I find out what happened. Something is wrong, skinned and boned without a trace, this method is not something ordinary people can do. I suspected that someone practiced evil methods, guarded the town for more than half a month, and finally found his trace, which is the third case."

He shook his head slightly and said with frustration: "But I underestimated him, and I overestimated myself. When I found out, the girl had been killed, and the person behind the scenes was sending her back home. I can't see Know what that person looks like, but he was injured by the strange beast he raised, and he has not recovered a lot until now."

After listening to his narration, Henry Zhang felt a chill in his heart that he was really acting in the evil way, and he asked, "What kind of strange beast is it?"

Huai Bailiu shook his head and said: "I don't know, the action was too fast. In a flash, I was scratched. If it weren't for some skills, I'm afraid I'm finished. However, this guy is getting more and more arrogant , from once every two or three months, to now it's only half a month before I get hurt, I'm afraid the next time will not be too far away. And the target is probably Liu Jingya, the eldest daughter of the Liu family."

A pair of jewels in the Liu family, Qinglin Town is famous, this pair of younger sisters, I am afraid that the older sister will not be able to escape.

Henry Zhang and Huai Bailiu knew that instead of doing nothing, it would be a good idea to guard Liu Jingya, and this clue should be found at the Liu family.

After the simple exchange between the two, there was silence, only Huai Bailiu was fiddling with his coffin boards.

I have to say that the craftsmanship of Huai Bailiu is really good. He chose decades-old cypress as the coffin board. This thing is hard, but Huai Bailiu assembled it into a coffin. coffin.

With a small carving knife, he concentrated on carving patterns on the coffin, mostly lotus flowers, and the carvings were lifelike, and the subtleties of the petals, Henry Zhang noticed that it turned out to be scriptures, as thin as hair, but the carvings were very clear .Henry Zhang knew that Huai Bailiu was probably using his spiritual power now, so this scripture would be faint and flowing.

The scriptures are ingeniously engraved, one chapter of the scriptures is a lotus flower, and the coffin gathers yin to send the undead. This is to use the yin energy gathered in the coffin to save the undead and eliminate the resentment on this skinless corpse.

After the coffin was finished, Huai Bailiu painted the coffin with white paint.There are five colors of coffins, black, white, yellow, red and gold. Black is used for swords and soldiers. White is used for girls who have not left the court and young people who died young. Yellow is the most common color of logs. It's because poor people don't pay much attention to it, and they don't color because they are poor.

As for the red coffin, it is the longevity coffin that can only be used by the elderly over the age of 80 who have died without a disease, that is, joy and mourning.There is no need to explain the golden coffin, it is naturally chosen by wealthy families.

And this wealth is not ordinary wealth, most of the emperors and their ilk would use golden coffins.However, these traditions are gradually becoming less particular, and only an old man like Huai Bailiu who has been a coffin maker all his life will remember them.
