White Bone Monkey King

"Martial Arts Corpse Immortal, do you still remember the marks you left in Stone Ancient Village?"

"The notch disappeared, and the law of time flowed back again."

On the way to the giant city of the ancient country, the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue said to Jin An with a serious face.

Hearing this, Zhengyuan Shen raised his eyebrows heavily as he lifted up the people on their way.

Unbiased, it happens that time flows back once every twelve hours a day, returning to the starting point.

Jin An frowned: "Twelve hours?"

Someone asked the Qianyan Daojun statue: "Are there any other changes in Stone Ancient Village?"

Thousand-Eyed Daojun Statue: "What it looked like when we first entered the village, and what it looks like now. The laws of time there are very weird. It seems to be returning to the starting point over and over again."

Master Xuan Lei said with a loud and thick voice: "Continuously repeating a certain day in the past, this nonsense time law of immortality, I think it is a prison, it is a punishment, so that people can never see the future and hope."

indeed.

Time without hope is the most desperate time.

It is also the most vicious punishment.

Taoist Qingfeng was blind and his mind was not blind, and he quickly expressed his guess: "This is the Taoist Huangting inner view world after the death of the ancient immortal. Everything here is closely related to the ancient immortal."

"A certain day keeps repeating here. Could it be that this day is very important to the ancient immortals? Is it a very important time point for the ancient immortals?"

Taoist Zhanmu's expression darkened, and he looked around at the surroundings shrouded in the mist of the underworld: "It can also be said to be a very important turning point, so the scope of influence is so large, covering an ancient country."

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

Even Master Zunzhu, who was accustomed to practicing alone in the majestic peaks of the plateau, joined the discussion at this time: "Is this ancient country the country where the ancient true immortals were born?"

Master Zunzhu’s conjecture caused more people to ponder.

At this time, another thing interrupted everyone's contemplation. They passed by an ancient village.

This ancient village is the same as the previous one. The houses are all empty. The village is neat and orderly, and does not look desolate. It does not look like a family fleeing due to natural disasters or military disasters, but there is not a single villager in sight.

"Will all these villagers move to the ancient giant city?"

"Even if the ancient city is relocated, the soft belongings must be packed away. We searched so many village houses, and the daily clothes and shells are still there and have not been taken away."

This ancient country is becoming increasingly incomprehensible to everyone.

If it was really because of an important event that the ancient immortal couldn't let go of his obsession and kept repeating a certain day, there should be some clues.

If the country is destroyed by war, there will be traces of the whole family fleeing.

If it is homesickness, there will be traces of the lives of old friends.

If you are slaying demons, there will be traces of demons and troubled times.

…

No matter which result it is, it will leave some traces more or less.

But looking here, it was so peaceful all the way, so peaceful that there wasn't even a single person in sight, and there were too many irregularities everywhere.

"It seems that only by entering the giant city of the ancient country can we have a chance to find the answer." Jin An held the Luo Geng jade plate and looked deeply at the end of the fog.

In a foggy world, without a compass to guide you, it's easy to lose your way.

Sometimes what you think is a straight line is just an illusion. Without a reference, the result will become more and more deviated.

"Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord, haven't you seen those people from the Tianshi Mansion with your spiritual eyes along the way?" Jin An's gaze turned from Luo Geng's jade plate to the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue on the side.

The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord closed his eyes for a while, then opened his eyes again: "I have checked all the spiritual eyes along the way from the lightning-struck wooden passage to the territory of the ancient country, and I have not found any of the old King Ling, the Tianzhu people, and the Rakshasa people. Traces of help.”

"You still can't see what's going on in the mirror?" The person who asked was Master Xuan Lei.

The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord hummed: "It's like a forbidden area there, and certain conditions are required to enter. I don't dare to use all my strength to check it, for fear that if I make too much noise, my soul will be arrested by the Evil Mirror Platform."

When they talked about the Nie Jingtai and the ancient country, Jin Anxin's head moved. After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he said: "Suddenly, this junior made a bold guess. Could the secret of the bronze coffin be related to the ancient country?"

"Tubo is the Great Emperor of the Underworld. The inner scene of the Taoist Yellow Courtyard is equivalent to the Small Underworld, and Emperor Tubo is the land that was invited by the ancient immortal to suppress the Small Underworld. If anyone knows about the Small Underworld, it must be Emperor Tubo. .”

Taoist Zhanmu twisted his beard and smiled: "This little reminder from fellow Taoist Jin'an reminds me of an old saying."

Taoist Qingfeng smiled and said, "Senior brother, are you referring to the phrase 'God's will exists in the dark'?"

Taoist Zhanmu laughed, his thoughts were open-minded and his mood was comfortable: "Exactly."

"It's a pity that the shell coins in the ancient village can't be taken away. Otherwise, just searching for them would be a big fortune. The huge city in the ancient country is prosperous, so these shell coins must not be available." The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord opened its mouth and spit out Several white shell coins and one cyan shell coin.

There are many traces of wear on the surface of these shell coins, which are very stable mainstream currencies. These details show that the structure of the ancient country is very stable and the dynasty is stable.

Shell coins usually appeared in the Xia and Shang dynasties, or earlier than the Xia and Shang dynasties. It was not until around the pre-Qin period that copper coins began to circulate.

People in this ancient country used shell coins to trade. It seems that this ancient immortal came from the Xia and Shang Dynasties.

Boom!

Jin An flicked his fingers in the air, flicked the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord statue hard on the forehead, and glared: "Small evils are also evils. Even if there are no villagers in these ancient villages, it is not a reason for us to take advantage of them."

After saying that, Jin An took out a lump of smelted nugget gold from the person's stomach bag. The gold was shining brightly, and he said confidently: "The gold given by the Tianzhu people known as the incarnation of King Hari is enough for us to spend in the ancient country."

The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord curled his lips and muttered: "It is obviously a magic weapon that was robbed by force. It is more evil than this Taoist Lord. It is an unforgivable evil. It is said so high-sounding."

Seeing that Jin An was about to snap his fingers in the air again, the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord Statue did not suffer the immediate disadvantage and kept his mouth shut.

Just by looking at its thousands of eyes, you can tell that this evil god is very unconvinced and is scolding Jin An in his heart.

…

The next day.

Sure enough, just after twelve o'clock, it was a new cycle of reincarnation.

All the shell coins that the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord statue took out of the ancient village disappeared, and those shell coins returned to the homes of the villagers in the ancient village again.

This discovery made Jin An and the others look solemn.

It seems that this ancient country's troubles are bigger than they thought.
