White Bone Monkey King

Jin An asked the old Taoist priest for three sticks of incense and asked others to wait for him in the yard. He returned to the house and slammed the door.

Life is alive.

Know how to repay kindness.

You can't just get in and out.

Jin An lit three incense sticks and bowed to the sky to show his filial piety to Tu Bo.

The seventh change!

Yin magic!

Jin An usually rarely chooses to go to the underworld physically, unless there is a compelling reason. For example, the last time he went to the underworld physically, it was because he wanted to use the special environment of the corpse cave in the underworld to break through the realm. Another example is that this time he left the body and went to the underworld. , and left a few eyes in the physical body to deal with emergencies in the world of the world.

Since he broke through to the middle stage of the third realm, Qianxin Jie has been able to achieve one mind and thirty uses. He has left a few minds in his physical body, but his soul still has more than twenty minds.

Compared with the earthly world, the risks in the underworld are greater, so more vigilance is required.

Here I have to express my gratitude to the usefulness of Thousand Hearts Tribulation. Thanks to the "Devil's Sacred Art" and Thousands of Hearts Tribulation, it saved him a lot of troubles.

The location of the Yin Walking Technique is very precise. Not far away is the dark and sinister Liu Yun's house.

Well.

Very hellish indeed.

The patter--

There is a cold autumn rain in the sky.

The autumn clouds linger and the frost flies late, leaving the withered lotuses to listen to the sound of rain.

Jin An raised his head and glanced at the underworld sky, which was always gloomy with dark clouds. His figure broke through the thick fog of the rainy night and walked on the muddy road to Liu Yun's house.

Pushing open the door of the courtyard where Shen Tu and Yu Lei's door gods had their heads stained, they walked through the courtyard, glanced thoughtfully at the well water, and went straight to the door of the house. Jin An just raised his hands to push the door open. At that moment, the backyard door behind him was pushed open.

"Please, is there anyone?"

"Xiaosheng went to Beijing to seek refuge with his relatives. He was unlucky. On the way at night, he encountered a sudden heavy rain. Can someone be kind enough to let Xiaosheng stay overnight? I would be very grateful."

A down-and-out scholar walked into the courtyard.

"anyone there?"

"Is there anyone?"

The down-and-out scholar was shivering in the cold rain, his thin clothes clinging to his body, and he was so thin that he had only a few ounces of meat.

He shouted as he walked and stood under the eaves of the house door to take shelter from the rain. His voice gradually became hoarse in the cold rainy night. Just when the poor scholar wanted to knock on the door, the light of candles suddenly lit up in the house.

The down-and-out scholar looked happy and was about to shout... Bang!

Blood splattered.

Blood mixed with brain juice gurgled out from the hole in the back of his head, and the scholar fell heavily to the ground with his face fixed in death.

A headless young man held a bloody ax in his hand. It was he who had just attacked the fallen scholar from behind.

After the headless young man killed the fallen scholar, he walked cautiously around the courtyard gate, then carried the body of the fallen scholar on his back and crawled back to the bottom of the well, returning exactly where he came from, disappearing without a trace.

Just at this moment, the door of the house was pushed open from the inside. This time, a headless middle-aged man came out. The headless middle-aged man quickly cleaned up the blood stains in front of the door, then slammed the door, extinguished the candles, and the house fell into chaos again. dark.

Jin An walked out of the shadows of the night and looked at the peaceful courtyard again. He did not act rashly to avoid interrupting the resentment and obsession attached to the iron pot for cooking corpses and leading him to see the truth.

Without hesitating for long, Jin An used the Fifth Transformation Third Eye Technique this time to continue to examine the truth of the universe.

…

There was a cellar in the house. As the headless middle-aged man went down into the cellar with an oil lamp and closed the door of the cellar, Liu Yun's house fell into darkness again.

Jin An looked at the entrance of the cellar with a thoughtful expression on his face. They did not find a cellar when they searched Liu Yun's house, indicating that the cellar had been treated and refilled with soil.

Moreover, no secret passage was found at the bottom of the well, and it seemed that it had also been backfilled.

The cellar is not deep. After following the headless middle-aged man into the cellar, I found that there were already two people in the cellar.

One person is a headless old man.

One of them was a young man who was tied to a chair and was very hungry. It looked like he had not eaten or slept well for several days and was dying.

The young man's face looked familiar, it was Liu Yun.

Weird, right?

The cannibal who picked up bones and cannibalized people, the murderer who committed brutal crimes and murders, was actually tied up in the cellar?

The first reaction is that the logic does not make sense.

The headless old man was tinkering with something in a clay jar, and then asked the headless middle-aged man to pry open Liu Yun's mouth, pour all the white powder in the clay jar into Liu Yun's mouth, and force Liu Yun to eat it.

Only then did Jin An realize that the so-called clay jar was actually a burial jar. The headless old man had actually pounded the bones in the burial jar into powder and forced it to Liu Yun to eat.

There were several burial jars thrown in the corner. It seemed that Liu Yun had been tied up in the cellar for a long time.

"I've been feeding ashes for three days, dad. Isn't the progress of turning this kid into a ghoul still not going well?" the headless middle-aged man said to the headless old man.

At this time, the headless young man carrying the body of the fallen scholar went around from the bottom of the well to the cellar: "Grandpa, Dad, I have observed the surroundings and found nothing unusual. There are no signs of triggering in the several mechanisms we have placed nearby. This is an unlucky scholar who just happened to hit the door of hell."

The headless young man dropped the body.

Looking at the corpse at his feet and smelling the strong smell of blood, the headless old man made a decision and said in a sinister tone: "Since the local method doesn't work, let him eat the marrow to know the taste."

"Grandpa, what do you mean?"

Before the headless young man could react, the headless old man had already walked to the corpse, tore it open, extracted the bones from the back, and directly pulled out a complete human spine starting from the tail vertebra. There was still a lot of meaty foam on the bones. and blood vessels.

At this time, the smell of blood has reached its strongest level.

Then, the headless old man walked out of the cellar holding an oil lamp in one hand and a bloody spine in the other. The sound of cooking and the aroma of ribs could be heard.

Headless young man: "Dad, do we bone pickers have to learn how to cook fried pork ribs?"

"Stop being such a mouthful." The headless middle-aged man seemed to glare in the direction of the headless young man, but unfortunately he didn't have a head on his neck.

After working hard for about half an hour, the headless old man walked back to the cellar carrying a plate of steaming fried pork ribs that had just come out of the pot.

Perhaps it was because Liu Yun was so hungry that he, who had resisted ashes fans before, devoured the fried pork ribs this time.

Seeing Liu Yun eating with gusto, the headless young man and the headless middle-aged man gave a thumbs up, praising the headless old man for his solution.

In passing, they praised the headless old man for his good cooking skills and how he could fry the ribs until they were so fragrant that they would not dare to touch any rib dishes again for at least a year.

Looking at the grandfather and grandson who were laughing proudly, Jin An's eyes revealed his thoughts.

Bone picker?

He already somewhat understood why the three grandfathers and grandsons in front of him appeared in the underworld as headless figures.

He himself took advantage of the resentment and obsession in Liu Yun's family. Those resentments and obsessions came from the innocent people who were killed by the three people in front of them. They could not see the face of the murderer until they died. They could only rely on The sound distinguishes three identities: old, middle and young.

Next, the grandfather and grandson committed crimes like crazy, constantly bringing back human spines, then making them into stir-fried pork ribs and feeding them to Liu Yun.

The black pot at home gradually smelled bad and emitted a peculiar smell.

Liu Yun's appearance has also undergone significant changes. His temperament has become increasingly violent and irritable, showing a desire for meat, like a rabid vicious dog.

During this period, more than a dozen people were fed human flesh to Liu Yun, but the Yamen only found a dozen corpses. What went wrong?

At this point, the ghoul has been successfully refined, and the three bones collectors and grandsons have begun to implement their plans. Jin An finally understands the true purpose of the bone collectors, grandson, and three others.

The three of them, grandfather and grandson, went through all the hard work to create ghouls in order to help them pick up bones and identify them. As for who they picked up bones for, and whose bones they picked up, it is temporarily unknown.

Jin An saw with his own eyes that they dug up a corpse and threw it to the ghoul Liu Yun to eat. The ghoul Liu Yun immediately found the heir of the corpse.

After several successful attempts, they decided to look for bones.

"This is really an unexpected result..." Jin An murmured softly. He didn't expect that there were so many things hidden behind Liu Yun. And this Liu Yun was not the real murderer, he was just a victim.

Just as Jin An was muttering, the headless middle-aged man suddenly shouted who was eavesdropping. He suddenly ran away and turned into a bone demon to chase after him.

Jin An was surprised at first, thinking that he had been exposed, but little did he know that the Bone Demon was chasing him in a distant direction.

Jin An's eyes turned cold: "There were other incidents that night!"

Just when the headless old man was training the ghoul Liu Yun, the headless middle-aged man came back, but he came back carrying his own spine.

"Just die like that?"

Jin An was surprised.

The death of the headless middle-aged man made the remaining grandfather and grandson furious. They all turned into white-bone demons, roaring in the night, with gusty winds and swaying trees.

"It seems that there was another spoiler that night, who could it be? If it were me, in order to prevent a long night of nightmares, I would immediately take the ghoul to complete the bone-finding mission, and also to lure the spoiler to show up... Jin An whispered, and he became even more curious about who the bone picker, grandfather and grandson were helping to find bones.

As soon as Jin An finished speaking, the Bone Demon and the Ghoul rushed out of the yard to look for bones...

Well.

Jin An's eyes were strange, and his grandfather and grandson were really obedient. The key was that he was far away from Liu Yun's house, and his grandfather and grandson would definitely not be able to hear what he said...

Jin An chased after them out of curiosity, but unfortunately, the resentment and obsession in the corpse-cooking iron pot could not last too far. The figures of the white-bone demon and the ghoul Liu Yun became less and less in pursuit until they disappeared, and the clues were broken here.

Jin An looked back at Liu Yun's house. At this time, he was chasing into the depths of the gray mist and could not see Liu Yun's house for a long time. In front of the gray mist was the place where the ghoul Liu Yun last disappeared.

"This is the second doubt..."

"The direction in which the bones of the ghoul Liu Yunwen were found is completely contrary to the popular legend about the place where Liu Yun murdered and buried his body..."

The first doubt was what happened to those dozen corpses, which did not match the number of murders committed by the bone picker, his grandfather, and his grandson.

Jin An did not hesitate in place for too long. He continued to chase deep into the gray mist, trying to see if there were any new clues.

If he remembered correctly, the headless middle-aged man had also chased him in this direction before.

…

The underworld was filled with gray fog, and his ears were filled with the whispers of resentful ghosts. Jin An walked for a while and couldn't find any clues. He could only say that the other party wiped out the clues too completely, and the Criminal Investigation Department took over the case too late. I took over the case a month late.

The gray fog tended to get deeper and deeper, and eventually, it was completely impossible to see anything, and the world beyond two steps away could not be seen.

Jin An became more and more surprised as he walked.

The capital city is at the foot of the emperor, and officialdom reigns supreme. How does this situation look like there is a terrifying demon lurking outside the capital city?

Jin An has been to the underworld so many times, and he has already mastered some tricks of the underworld.

For example, the bigger the fog, the bigger the problem.

Another example is that the wider the river in the underworld, the bigger the trouble.

Only mountains and rivers can conceive great demons.

The fifteenth change! Cloud trick!

Immediately the fog of the underworld dispersed, and you were no longer worried about the turbulent clouds.

Fortunately, when Jin An broke through to the middle stage of the third realm, he happened to practice the 14th transformation of borrowing wind, the 15th transformation of cloud summoning, and the 16th transformation of cloud summoning, so cloud summoning came in handy.

"Fortunately, the Cloud-Calling Technique works here. If even the Cloud-Calling Technique doesn't work, then I really have no choice but to return to my soul and investigate this clue from the world..." As the clouds cleared away, I saw In the blue sky, Jin An flew directly to the sky this time, and then looked down at the ground below his feet from a high altitude.

Then his eyes showed surprise, and he flew away in that direction without thinking.

Jin An would never have thought that he would go undercover tonight just to help the Criminal Investigation Department investigate an unsolved case that was not difficult for him, but he would accidentally get involved in another incident related to the third realm.

Because he accidentally met a group of strong men from the third realm in the underworld.

There were three men and one woman in the group of three realm experts. One person visualized the Mang Mountain Ghost King, one of the three ghost kings, one person visualized the Taiyin Star King, one person visualized the Infinite Power of Vajra in the Qingliang Cave of Emei Mountain, and one person visualized the Mount Sumeru Mountain. Erya Vairocana Vajra.

Except for the Mangshan Ghost King whose strength Jin An couldn't see through, the other three were all in the middle stage of the Three Realms. Think about it, no one who can go deep here is a simple person.

When he saw the Victory Vajra and the Powerful Vajra, a sharp cold light flashed out of the corner of Jin An's eyes.

Because it reminded him of the mysterious magic rock in Wutai Mountain that had besieged him in the underworld.

According to legend, Emperor Jun married Chang Xi and gave birth to the twelve moon gods, one of whom was Taiyin Xingjun. This Taiyin Xingjun was the only female cultivator among the four.

"Huh?" The four of them looked at Jin An in surprise, as if they were surprised that Jin An could fiddle with the fog of the underworld. But at their level, they all know that everyone has their own secrets, and the less they inquire about other people's secrets, the less they can make enemies.

Jin An took in all the changes in the expressions of several people. He was curious in his heart. Apart from passing through the fog, is there any other way to get here?

At this time, Jin An's body was shining with divine light, but he did not show his true face to others.

"What do you call this fellow Taoist?" Mangshan Ghost King looked at Jin An with a serious expression.

Jin An said without thinking: "Liu Yun."

Well!

At this time, even a strong man like Mangshan Ghost King couldn't help but complain: "Damn! Did you dig up the Liu Yun family's ancestral grave today? Why did so many Liu Yuns explode!"

Listening to the Mang Mountain Ghost King's words, Jin An became interested: "Liu Yun is not an uncommon name. Is there anyone else named Liu Yun here?"

The Ghost King of Mangshan pointed to the Victory Vajra and the Powerful Vajra opposite and said, "They are both called Liu Yun."

Then he pointed at himself with a smile: "Unfortunately, my name is also Liu Yun."

Okay.

Except for Fairy Taiyin Xingjun, the four men present were all named Liu Yun.

Well!

This time Jin An was murmuring in his heart, the Liu Yun family's ancestral grave had indeed been dug up!

"Ming people don't tell secrets. The people who can come here today are all here for the clue of Mist Country. Although the incident in Mist Country has passed for several months, we don't seem to have missed the clue of Mist Country. I want to find the artifact that governs the country, hoping to break the shackles of the third realm."

"If we really want to find the Mist Trace Country, we must exchange intelligence with each other and cooperate sincerely, so that we can find more of the Mist Trace Country. If we don't even find the Mist Trace Country, there is no use hiding other secrets."

The Ghost King of Mangshan said in a deep voice.

In fact, Mangshan Ghost King's words were not of much use. What everyone exchanged was ordinary information that had already been put on the table, which actually gave Jin An an advantage.

Jin An knew a thing or two about the affairs of the Wuzong Kingdom. After experiencing the magical artifacts of the Mountain Kingdom and the Water Separator, he probably studied the history of the Warring States Period and had a general understanding of the past of the princes and hundreds of kingdoms.

The leader of the Mist Country was good at refining elixirs. A landslide and a flood caused a bronze cauldron to emerge from the bottom of the abyss. The people knew that the leader was good at refining elixirs, so they dedicated the bronze cauldron to the leader.

Later legends became more and more bizarre. It is said that the leader of the Mist Country was very happy after getting the tripod. He understood the magical functions of the bronze tripod and named it the Immortal King tripod. The people escaped into the misty clouds and disappeared without a trace, and the entire Mist Track Kingdom mysteriously disappeared overnight.

It is a coincidence that this time the clues of the Wuzong Kingdom reappeared on the same day as Liu Yun was arrested for the "bone-picking and cannibalism case". One is a major event in the spiritual world, and the other is a major event in the secular world. As for the people of the capital, When the "bone-picking and cannibalism case" was being discussed endlessly, the Yujing Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion in the capital went out to excavate the Wuzong Kingdom.

The result was that after a month of hard work, nothing was found, and the guiding stone of Mist Track Country was proven to be fake.

But some people don't think the clues from the Mist Trail Country are fake.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why at the same location, a heavy fog suddenly blew up in the underworld, and ordinary masters of the soul's out-of-body experience could not get out of the fog, and would either get lost in it or come back again.

It is against this background that the Ghost King of Mangshan, the Fairy of Taiyin Star Lord, the Victorious King Kong, and the Powerful King Kong appear in the depths of the mist.

There are no clues in the world, so they want to find clues in the underworld.

Then there was this scene that Jin An saw.

The place where the guide stone of Wuzong Kingdom was found was in the field rented by the tenant from the landlord. The tenant accidentally dug it out of the ground when hoeing.

But the underworld is not a field, but a dark ghost cave and sinkhole.

In fact, whether it is the fields in the upper world or the ghost caves and sinkholes in the underworld, they have been plowed over hundreds of times by various forces. If there are any clues, they would have been discovered long ago and they would not be able to wait.

But there are always people who don't believe in evil and come to find out again and again, such as the four people in front of me. As for Jin'an, it is purely an anomaly.
