White Bone Monkey King

After Jin An returned to Chang County, he had an idea.

Suddenly I want to stand at the highest point in Chang County——

A panoramic view of Chang County from the gate tower of the city wall.

Jin An was thinking about this.

I can no longer suppress this thought in my heart.

So the soul floated and floated, and the farther it floated into the sky, the more strenuous and difficult it became.

The air around him became increasingly turbid, and his soul was like a stone cow trapped in a swamp. There were obstacles every time he moved forward.

During the day, the east sun breaks through all evils, clear air rises, and turbid air sinks.

But at night.

It’s the change of yin and yang.

Yin rises and Yang declines.

In this world, the turbid air rises and the pure air sinks.

And these turbid gases cause great harm to the soul.

If Jin An hadn't carried the Liuding Liujia Talisman, his soul was strong, and he was protected by the Shinto aura of the Twelve Righteous Gods. In addition, his soul was warmed and nourished by the Shinto aura all the time, and he would have recovered quickly. I am afraid that a person who is tall cannot even rise three feet.

Because there are gods three feet above your head.

Crossing three feet is the real difference between ordinary people and Taoists.

Jin'an finally floated to the tallest tower in the city. He suddenly had a vast view, relaxed and happy, and had a panoramic view of the entire Chang County.

In the darkness of night, the outline of the city wall of Changxian County is vaguely visible. It is not an equilateral square, but a rectangle adapted to local conditions.

At this time the night was quiet.

Ancient people went to bed early.

It was dark, except for a few brightly lit places, which were scattered everywhere.

Most of these places are places where people stay up all night, such as goulan tile shops and brothels, or wealthy families with big houses and courtyards.

Jin'an Hun'er floated on the city tower, nodding from time to time and commenting on Changxian, but then, Jin'an's tomb kept jumping.

There was a breath that locked onto him.

Jin An was surprised to search, but when he looked up, he found that a Tai Chi Bagua mirror hanging on the tower was shining on his location.

"Is this the town weapon of Chang County?"

There are two types of folk ballasts.

One is used to press books, paintings, and words to prevent their corners from folding.

There is also a kind of calming device, which is the Zhenyangzhai, which is used to remove evil and avoid evil.

There are many kinds of weapons for the latter, including peach wood swords, Bagua mirrors, soul bells, swords, guns and axes, etc.

When Jin An and the Tai Chi Bagua Mirror looked at each other, Jin An was startled. His eyes suddenly turned white, as if his soul was nailed by a divine light.

The divine light was burning his soul.

Jin An was shocked.

He struggled.

Struggling desperately.

How can a mortal look directly at a god?

God cannot be guessed.

This Tai Chi Bagua mirror is definitely made by an expert and is contaminated with the incense and karma of Shinto. It must have come from a world-famous Taoist temple with true immortals. It was worshiped by incense day and night, so it has such miraculous power and can calm lonely souls and wild ghosts. , can exorcise evil spirits.

This is definitely not a fake magic weapon that an ordinary Taoist priest in the countryside just dances with a fake peach wood sword and then says it has been successfully consecrated.

Jin An tried his best to resist the divine light that held his soul.

He was extremely nervous, thinking that he was going to be here today, but unexpectedly, the divine light that was fixating Jin An one moment suddenly disappeared the next moment.

Because Jin An still maintained his previous posture of raising his head and looking at the Tai Chi Bagua Mirror, when the white light in front of his eyes disappeared, Jin An noticed something strange on the Tai Chi Bagua Mirror at the first glance.

The Tai Chi Bagua Mirror is covered in dust and dirty water has been thrown on it, and its spirituality has been damaged.

The filthy black water has dried up and is stained on the Tai Chi Bagua Mirror.

The divine light that fixed Jin'an just now came from the last place on the Tai Chi Bagua Mirror that was not covered by the dirty black water, but now even the last divine light has disappeared.

This Tai Chi Bagua mirror has been covered in dust by dirty black water for too long, and all its spirituality has long since disappeared.

Just now it was just the last ray of divine light that came back.

Jin An was shocked when he looked at the Tai Chi Bagua Mirror, which had lost its spirituality and had completely become an ordinary object.

"Who is deliberately destroying the Changxian town weapon?"

"Could it be the Zhizhiren and Yinshiji masters who secretly hid gunpowder in Chang County?"

Across the night, Jin An looked at the other city gates in the distance, where only hazy outlines could be seen in the night...

Do the other city gates also have devices to ward off evil and avoid evil?

But even the east gate's suppressor has been deliberately destroyed. The other gate's suppressors must have also been destroyed by the filthy black water, right?

Jin An pondered.

However, because of the previous experience of Hun'er being immobilized by divine light, Jin An did not dare to continue checking for a while.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand.

Just in case.

Jin An planned to wait until daytime and talk to Feng Baotou personally about the matter.

There are eight gates in "Qi Men Dun Jia".

The sacred light of the suppressor fixes the Ximen, Shengmen, Shangmen, Dumen, Jingmen, Deathmen, Jingmen, and Kaimen to exorcise evil spirits and protect the safety of the people.

The town weapon had been destroyed by someone who had been plotting for a long time, and something big was probably going to happen...

"Man Mo Temple?"

Jin An pondered for a while, and then he began to drift towards the Wen Mo Temple.

Although there are six Dingliujia talismans to protect his soul, Jin Anke's soul is wandering several feet away from the ground, but now is the night when the turbidity is rising. He seems to have two legs stuck in a quagmire. He can walk, but in the end he can't. Floating on the ground very fast.

So Jin'an lowered his altitude.

After falling back to the ground, it continued to float all the way towards Man Mo Temple.

I don't know if it was because of the destruction of the Changxian town utensils. This time Jin'an entered Changxian again. Looking at Changxian sinking into darkness, darkness and silence, he always felt that nothing was right everywhere he looked. .

It's like the gloomy Senluo Hell.

Trapped in great terror and unable to escape.

Jin'an floated all the way to Wen Mo Temple, passed through houses, passed through pillars, passed directly through the rocks of the mansion, and drifted away quickly.

suddenly!

In the calm night, the sound of hustle and bustle and the rolling of dice reached Jin An's ears.

Jin An was slightly surprised.

"Is there a private gambling house near here?"

With curiosity, Jin An began to look for the sound and finally drifted into a folk gambling stall.

For example, brothels and gambling stalls are closed during the day and sneak around at night.

These gamblers sleep during the day, but at night, they are like night mice, but they are full of energy. Each gambler holds Pai Gow in his hand. The more he gambles, the more energetic he becomes, shouting and screaming, and his eyes become red from gambling.

At this time, there were dozens of people hiding in this private gambling stall, gathering people to gamble, and it was very popular.

Jin An's soul left the body, and he was protected by the Liuding Liujia Talisman. He was not an ordinary lonely ghost, so he was not afraid of the popularity here.

As for the gamblers in the gambling stalls who stayed up late night after night, had high and low moods every day, and suffered serious losses in energy and spirit, naturally they could not see Jin An's spirit.

Jin An watched briefly, and realized that the most popular games played by these gambling addicts were Pai Gow and dice. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded from the next table, and someone shouted "Leopard".

Leopard Jinan knows.

Class Mammalia, Catidae. Leopards are large carnivorous animals that walk on their toes, with five toes on their front feet and four toes on their hind feet. They live in forests, shrubs, wetlands, deserts, plateaus, snowy mountains and other environments.

Jin An fell back on the spot, and Hun'er fell back on the spot and floated towards the gambling table.

He saw the gambling table, where many gamblers were congratulating one of the gamblers with fists in their hands, and everyone's eyes showed envy.

It turns out that the dealer rolled the dice to guess the number, and three identical dice were rolled out. If a gambler guessed the leopard, the dealer had to pay three times the amount.

The other gamblers all lost to the banker.

In fact, after losing three times the money, the banker still made a huge profit. Jin An was a bystander. He saw the banker and the gambler who guessed the leopard inadvertently looking at each other. Jin An understood immediately. .

This is a game made by the dealer himself.

There are winners and losers at the gambling table. Seeing others win can stimulate these gamblers who are red-eyed by losses to continue gambling without suspecting that the dealer is cheating.

Nine out of ten gamblers in the casino will lose, nine and a half will turn out to be crooks, and half of them are on their way to learn to be crooks.

Gambling harms people, so I advise people not to gamble.

"Um?"

Jin An seemed to have seen something, his eyes were shocked.

When the dealer took away the copper coins lost by the gamblers at the gambling table, Jin An saw that a few of the copper coins had wrong colors.

His soul passed directly through the gambling table and got stuck in the center of the gambling table, taking a closer look at the copper coins in front of the dealer.

Take a closer look at this!

Jin An's expression changed!

really!

There is a small part of copper coins in it, which are the ancient copper coins leaves of Qingqianliu Divine Queen!

But the gamblers in front of them, as well as the dealers at the gambling stalls, seemed not to realize that the copper coins in their hands were actually copper coin blades, and they actually continued to gather in high spirits to gamble.

But the next scene!

Jin An was even more shocked!

I saw those gamblers who lost money, as the ancient copper coins in their hands were lost to the dealer, there were wisps of popularity rising in their bodies, all of which were sucked away by the ancient copper coins.

Humans have seven emotions and six desires: great joy and great anger, great sadness and great sadness, great fear and great shock.

These gamblers are the easiest to be distracted, the easiest to have emotional ups and downs, and the easiest to hurt their own souls.

That's what being devastated describes.

It's like someone who has become ill after thinking about it for a long time.

For another example, children are the most easily frightened. After a child is frightened at night, he becomes stupid the next day, feels confused and incontinent all day long.

Another example is a couple who gave birth to a child in old age, but the child died young due to the weak constitution of the child. They gave birth to a child in old age, and died young again. Under great sorrow, they became seriously ill and pale, and died soon after. This is also A kind of soul-losing thing.

When these gamblers lost money, they were so sad and angry that they lost their souls faster. It was like a big hole was torn open in their perfect bodies, and the three souls and seven souls were slowly leaked out.

When all three souls and seven souls are lost, the person dies.

But the souls of these gamblers were slowly sucked away by those strange copper coin leaves during the ups and downs of emotions. This is like boiling a frog in warm water. People are getting thinner day by day, but they will not suspect that they are copper coin leaves. cause trouble.

I just thought it was because I was physically weak recently.

So I went to the drugstore to buy some tonic medicine to nourish my body.

However, what they lost was their souls. No matter how much these ordinary nourishing herbs were taken, they could not repair the injured souls, and in the end they all died violently in the hospital bed.

Thinking of this, Jin An quickly checked the expressions of the other gamblers on the gambling table one by one.

I didn't notice anything strange before because I didn't pay attention. This time my mood was different. I took a closer look and found that all the gamblers around the gambling table looked abnormal.

Not sallow and thin.

Just looks ugly.

Or the person is confused, his eyes are numb and dull, his actions and reactions are slow, and he looks like a zombie.

The last person is obviously the one who hurts the soul the most, and his end is approaching.

And his soul was already so broken that the fuel was exhausted and only the last trace of withered soul was left. He could have lived for another seven days or ten days. However, as the dealer played the leopard dice this time, he lost all his coins. The last bit of lamp oil on his body was absorbed by the copper coin leaves.

He lost all his money and staggered away with a numb look on his face like a zombie. But he had just taken two steps, not more than three, when bang!

The man fell straight down with his face down, his teeth were smashed, blood flowed all over the floor, and he died immediately.

There are three souls and seven souls after death, but there is no soul after death.

Because all the copper coins have been absorbed by the leaves.

A layer of gloom fell over Jin An's head.

This time he looked carefully at the coins in each gambler's hand.

I found that although it was not the copper coins in my hand, they were all copper coins leaves from the Qingqian Liu.

But almost everyone's copper coins have a few copper coins mixed with them.

However, the weird thing is.

These gamblers all seemed unaware, as if they could not feel the different touch and weight of the copper coins at all, and they still gathered around the gambling table and gambled.

Every time they lose money, their emotions go up and down, and they are the most devastated. Then their popularity is sucked away by the copper coins they lost.

All of this could only be seen by Jin An, who was in an out-of-body state.

Ordinary people cannot even notice it.

In their eyes, these copper coin leaves from Qingqianliu seem to be real and can be traded for copper coins?

Just like my own three souls and seven souls can be traded with these copper coins!

…

As someone fell to the ground, a small commotion broke out nearby, but at this time these people did not know that the person was dead, so they cursed for disturbing their gambling fun.

"Jin Kuan, Jin Kuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't f*cking scare the labor and management!"

Seeing that there was a commotion here, the gambling stall thugs immediately came to check the situation. They shouted several times at the man who fell to the ground. When they saw that the people on the ground had not moved, they finally panicked.

The thugs quickly went to help the people on the ground.

As a result, my hands felt heavy and my body and skin were unusually cold.

He raised his hand and tremblingly tested his breath. No... no breath!

"People are dead!"

The bettor's face changed drastically. He was not out of sympathy, but because he was cursing about bad luck.

If someone dies in a gambling stall, the government will definitely come to check for them.

There will be no business for at least a few days.

Recently, the annual Qingming Temple Fair coincides with the largest number of foreign tourists coming to Chang County. They originally thought they could make a fortune during the five days of the temple fair.

How could I have encountered such bad luck?

"What a damn bad luck! Haha!"

These gambling stall thugs were all low-level gangsters who dared to kidnap and kill people. Jin Kuan died in the gambling stall. Not only did he have no sympathy, he spat on the corpse.

He yelled with poor language.

He scolded Jin Kuan for not dying earlier or later, but why he died in their gambling stall.

…

After Jin An floated out of the gambling stall, he began to walk through the wall and inspect the houses one by one.

He inspected the coins of every household in Chang County.

The situation is not optimistic at all.

He inspected twenty households!

Almost 70% of the time, there are copper coins leaves at home!

It's just that these people are not prone to emotional ups and downs, anger and shock like gamblers, so their symptoms are not obvious.

Normally I just feel physically weaker.

Susceptible to wind and cold.

And lifespan is shorter than elsewhere!

The more Jin An watched, the more frightened he became, and his soul became cold. When he drifted out of a private house, he seemed a little lost, and he was uneasy all the way.

Jin An knows.

I was shocked and hurt.

He was indeed shocked this time.

Ten years ago?

The more Jin An thought about it, the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Green money willow, green money willow, willow is a yang wood and a yin wood!

Jin'an suddenly became enlightened.

He thought of an adventure Guangping Sanren had with Liumu in "Guangping Youshuo Synaesthesia Record".

Regarding willow trees, there have always been two theories among the people. One is that willow branches can nail souls and fight off evil spirits.

Therefore, there is a folk custom of breaking a willow branch at the door of the house, which means it can ward off evil spirits and prevent unclean things from entering the house.

But there are also customs in some places that regard willow as a yin tree that has strong yin energy and can nourish yin energy.

Among the people, in addition to the five yin trees, there are also several unknown trees that are unfavorable to the yang house in Feng Shui.

The five Yin trees are pine, cypress, locust, elm, and juniper.

Among the trees with heavy yin and unknown energy that are unfavorable to the yang house, there is a saying: "Don't plant mulberries in front, don't plant willows in the back, don't plant ghosts in the courtyard, apricots can hurt people, and dead people are buried under plum trees."

Here they refer to mulberry trees, willow trees, poplar trees, apricot trees, and plum trees respectively.

Because Sang Tong Ming is a relatively taboo tree in Yangzhai.

Willow trees have a strong yin energy, and are often called soul-calling flags or mourning sticks among the people. Willow branches are also often used to be inserted on tombs.

The ghost clapping hands are poplar trees, because the poplar branches are lush and leafy, and they rustle outside the window at night, as if ghost hands are tapping the window.

Eating too much apricots and plums is harmful.

In fact, the reason why willow trees have two completely different views is mainly affected by the environment.

If it grows on the water bank, along the river channel where the living water flows, it is Yang wood, which is the willow branch in the jade vase in the hand of the Bodhisattva.

It can nail the soul and knock off the unclean things in people.

What I'm most afraid of is encountering the kind of gloomy willow trees that grow in deep mountains and old forests.

Because the mountains are cloudy and cold, it is easy for mountain spirits and wild monsters to hide. Lone souls and wild ghosts like to hide in the mountains and forests that block the sky and the sun, hide in trees, and stay in the trees to harm people.

So the willow here is also a shade tree.

The Sanren of Guangping once came across an old willow tree in the old forest of the remote mountains.

Crucified many souls.

But Jin An also felt that this green money willow was very different from the Yinmu willow described by Guangping Sanren!

Qingqianliu grows in open and flat terrain and in popular cities, and receives incense from people every year. Besides, Chang County is built along the Yinyi River, with heavy water vapor. Logically speaking, no matter how you look at this Qingqianliu , they should all be Yang wood willow trees, right?

What's wrong?

Was there something magical about that night ten years ago?

Jin An couldn't suppress his thoughts. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to see whether the Qingqian willow during the day, the Qingqian willow at night, or the Qingqian willow at night, had the yang wood transformed into the harmful yin wood. ?

In the soul state, he can see scenes invisible to the naked eye. Jin An's soul floats all the way towards Wen Mo Temple.

Along the way, he checked on several more residents, and his mood became even heavier...

The outline of Wen Mo Temple at night gradually appeared in front of Jin An!
