White Bone Monkey King

Mr. Shen is old.

Lack of physical strength.

So the place where she buried Yu Youzi couldn't be too far away.

Although the jungle around Taoyuan Village is as dense as an umbrella canopy, blocking out the sky and the sun, due to the changes in Taoyuan Village in recent years, there are not many poisonous insects and beasts in the vicinity.

Everyone followed behind Shen.

Not far out of Taoyuan Village.

really.

On a nearby small rocky slope with open terrain, sunlight, and not easily flooded by rivers that surge during the rainy season, Jin An and the others saw a small, lonely tomb.

...A lonely tomb thousands of miles away, no place to speak of desolation...

If Jin An and the others hadn't come.

This small grave bag is a wild grave.

A lonely ghost.

No one cares.

No one remembers his name, no one remembers his past achievements, no one remembers his past sacrifices, no one remembers that there was a Taoist priest here who had a vision in mind, but his bones were buried in a foreign land. In a few years, even this sole tomb will no longer exist. How sad.

Jin An stood silently.

My heart is full of sadness, loneliness, regret...condolences.

"Brother Dao, we are here to see you."

"...We are late..."

"...I've made you suffer..."

Why.

The old Taoist priest was the first to speak. He knelt down and took out rice wine, incense candles, incense sticks, yellow paper, and paper ingots from his Tai Chi Bagua bag.

Then he poured three cups of rice wine, burned yellow paper and paper ingots, and mourned the lonely grave in front of him where his bones were buried in a foreign land. Jin An, Li Huwei, Chi Jian, including Shen, stepped forward one by one to burn incense on the tomb.

After finishing the incense, Jin An had mixed feelings and thousands of thoughts whirling in his mind. In the end, he only turned into a choked sentence in his throat: "Uncle, we will take you home!"

He said with sentimental eyes: "Uncle, from now on you no longer have to work hard or run around to raise money for Taoist temple repairs. You can just enjoy the peace and happiness in peace and contentment. From now on, I, the younger generation, will support you." ."

"Don't worry, we have repaired the leaky holes in the Taoist temple hall that have been in disrepair for a long time. In the future, the Patriarch will no longer be exposed to wind, sun, and rain..."

"We not only repaired the door to the Taoist temple's backyard, but also replaced it with a brand new and bright door. No more thieves will break in and steal the things in the temple..."

"We have kept every plant and tree in the Taoist temple, waiting for you, my master, and Uncle Yuyang to come back..."

"We have also renovated the uneven steps at the entrance of the Taoist temple. Now the steps are smooth and spacious, and the entrance hall is tall. It will not diminish the reputation of our Five Zang Taoism..."

"We have also added a Yeyin Pavilion to the Taoist temple. If you are tired or exhausted, uncle, you can sit down and rest in the Yeyin Pavilion to enjoy the cool air. You have worked hard for the temple all your life, and it is time to enjoy peace and happiness..."

"We have always kept the things in several rooms in the Taoist temple for my two uncles and my master. There will always be a place for the three seniors in the Five Zang Taoist Temple..."

"By the way, we asked the He family to help us with the statue of the Patriarch in the Taoist temple. We hired the most famous old painter in Fucheng to personally renovate the statue of the Patriarch. The painter's painting skills were outstanding, and he gave it to the famous Taoist temples and statues in Fucheng. Buddhist temples have all painted statues of gods, and even the Buddha at Bailong Temple was painted by this old painter. Uncle, don’t worry, our ancestor is no worse than the Buddha at Bailong Temple..."

"Uncle Master, our Five Zang Taoist Temple will only get better and better in the future, and there will be more and more incense believers. You, have a good sleep. It's time to put down your burdens and enjoy peace and happiness. As long as I am here, the Five Zang Taoist Temple will be there."

The moon is full in the sky and half-moon in the world.

Consider.

Consider.

The altar of unparalleled merits and deeds.

"good."

The jade wanderer in five-color Taoist robes standing behind Jin An smiled and bowed. He cupped his fists with his hands crossed, his left hand on his right hand, like a yin and yang diagram, and bowed to Jin An.

All people are mortal.

Let go, let go of everything.

My heart has calmed down, and Taoism in the five internal organs has finally been succeeded by someone, and I will die without regrets.

Yuyouzi looked at Jin An, the old Taoist priest, and the swords with joy, and their figures began to slowly fade and become transparent.

The old Taoist priest's eyes were red: "Brother Taoist, have a good trip."

Li Huwei wiped away tears with his hands and said, "Have a good trip, Master Taoist."

He cut his sword and changed his silence: "Master, uncle, have a good trip."

Jin An looked at the increasingly transparent figure of Jade Wanderer. His head was green and clear, his feet were filled with thick soil, and he was wearing a five-color Taoist robe. He was a man of great righteousness: "The heaven and earth have righteousness, and they are mixed and endowed with manifolds. The following is It is a river and mountains, and above it is the sun and stars. People say it is vast, and it is as vast as the sky. The imperial road is clear to the Yi, and the Han and Tu Mingting are clear. When the time is poor, it is seen, and the pictures are drawn one by one. In the Qi Taishi Jian, in Dong Jin's fox pen...may be used to hit the thief's wat, and the reverse head is broken. It is majestic and powerful, and it will last forever. When it penetrates the sun and moon, life and death will be settled. The earth depends on it to stand, and the sky pillar depends on its respect. The Three Cardinal Principles are indeed the basis of life, and morality is the root. Sorry for the incompetence of Tuan Yangjiu! Uncle Master, have a good journey."

Just at this time.

The darkness of heaven and earth is dispelled.

The first light of dawn reappears in the world, and the blue sky is floating in the clouds.

The moment Jin An finished speaking, Yu Youzi's figure completely dissipated, and just before Yu Youzi completely dissipated, a stream of light flew towards Jin An, and finally fell into Jin An's hands.

That is another Taoist technique that corresponds to the Taoist technique of "exploring the bag to retrieve objects"——

"Gift skills"!

Jin An was given gifts by two Taoist priests, one of whom was the Five Zang Taoist. When he was walking in the underworld, the corpse of the Five Zang Taoist fell in front of Jin An.

One person is the jade wanderer in front of him.

At this time, Yu Youzi's figure had disappeared, leaving only a Taoist Bagua bag in Jin An's hand.

Seeing that the gifting technique was used again, and both times were from the Five Zang Taoism, Jin An had a lot of mixed thoughts in his heart for a while, with a complicated expression on his face. In the end, he carefully accepted the Taoist Bagua bag and did not rush to check the Jade Traveler's relics inside.

Next, he began to move the grave of Yu Youzi.

He promised Master Shuyu Youzi.

I want to take his old man home.

He wanted to build an altar of merit for his uncle in the Five Zang Taoist Temple, and be mourned by believers day and night. A good person must have a good death, and he cannot be buried in a foreign land, and become a lonely ghost.

Now that he has taken root in Fucheng, he not only wants to build a merit altar for Yu Youzi in the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, but he also wants to return to Chang County, collect the bones of the Wu Zang Taoist, and build a merit altar for the Wu Zang Taoist.

Since Yuyouzi worships him as the leader, then he, the new leader, must do something for Wu Zang Taoism, which is not only repayment of gratitude, but also a due responsibility.

When Jin An took off his five-color Taoist robe and wrapped up the body of Jade Wanderer, the sky was red with clouds in the distance, the golden clouds of Cang'er Mountain were brilliant, and the eastern sun shone into the ghostly Cang Mountain. It was already the dawn of heaven and earth.

A few people discussed that since the matter here is over, it is better to set off immediately and leave this mountain while it is dawn.

When Jin An turned around to look for Shen, they found that Shen was leaning against a big green tree, her frosty hair resting on the warmth of the rising sun, holding a pair of children in her arms, with a satisfied face and a kind smile, and she fell asleep at some point. .

It seemed that after so many years of physical and mental exhaustion, her family was finally reunited and she was forgiven by her children. At this moment, she could finally close her eyes and sleep peacefully.

Just when Jin An and the old Taoist priest walked up to Shen and planned to ask the rough-skinned and fleshy Li Huwei to carry Shen out of the mountain, Li Huwei squatted down and his expression changed.

He reached out and sniffed under Shen's nose.

Then he felt the pulse on Shen's neck.

Guard Li looked at Jin An and the others with a solemn expression and shook his head.

So many years of haggard mental strength and great sadness have actually long ago exhausted Ms. Shen, but she was unwilling to do so and has been able to hold on until today. Ms. Shen, an old woman, can hold on until now. It's already a miracle.

Several people sighed sadly.

Jin An said: "Let's take Shen, mother and son with us and leave this mountain with no future."

"The mountain is dark and damp, and the sun never shines all year round. If they are buried here, their family of three will only become lonely ghosts and be picked up by jackals, tigers and leopards. They have no one to rely on when they are alive, and they will have no one to rely on after they die. Damn, it’s so pathetic.”

"Let's take them back to Fucheng together, find a good cemetery for them in Fucheng, and bury mother and son together. I promised Shen Qiu and Shen Shaolin that I would bury them in a good cemetery when we go out."

The old Taoist priest, Li Huwei, and Xiajian naturally have no objections.

Afterwards, several people started to find firewood, cremated Yuyouzi, Shen, and the siblings respectively, then took a few urns and left the mountain under the golden avenue of the rising sun.

…

…

When Jin An returned to Fucheng, it was already ten days later.

After they left the mountains, they rested in Jinsha Town for a few days to recharge their batteries before embarking on the road back to Fucheng.

When they first returned to Fucheng, they found that something was wrong with the atmosphere in Fucheng. The atmosphere was tense and tense.

The people in the city are in a state of turmoil, and all kinds of rumors are flying around. With just a little inquiry, you can find out the cause of the matter.

turn out to be.

It was the grave of the governor's daughter, and it was almost dug up.

Fortunately, the defenders guarding the mausoleum found out in time, thus preventing the tomb of Fu Yin's favorite daughter from being stolen by tomb robbers and destroying the bones.

So the governor was furious and ordered a search for tomb robbers and all suspicious persons throughout the city.

Fortunately, Jin An returned to the city this time and did not bring a goat into the city.

If he was like the first time he came to Fucheng, a Taoist priest who was not equipped with a sword but was holding a calf that looked like a sheep in his hand, he would have been taken into the prison of Fucheng and tortured for several days and nights.

Another major event is that during the half month they left, the Yinyi River stopped flowing again.

But this time the outage was short.

The flow stopped overnight, and thousands of caves were revealed to the world again.

At dawn the next day, the river rose again.

However, according to folk rumors, when the river water rose back, some people saw a large number of corpses rushing out of the Thousand Cave Cave. Now it has caused panic, and ordinary people have not dared to go near the river recently.

Even if there are fishermen who go to the river to wash clothes or fish, they all stay together during the day and escape to the shore immediately before dark.

Even the boatmen who make a living by ferrying boats are ashore before dark. After dark, no matter how much money they were given, they would not go into the water to ferry people again.

With this panic among the people, the number of merchant ships and passenger ships coming and going has been decreasing day by day. Many people have to abandon the waterway and take dry roads to get to and from the city.

This directly affected the prosperity of Fucheng and became worse than before.

Nowadays, there are rumors among the people that there is something evil happening in Qiankudong, and it is caused by corpses buried in the river.

And I heard that the government office recently planned to unite with various Taoist temples and temples in the city to recruit talented people and strangers to prepare to go down to the Yinyi River and solve the continuous troubles in the Yinyi River and Qiankudong.

"The Yinyi River has stopped flowing again?"

"Thousand Cave Cave appears again?"

Jin An and his group walked into the Xue Mansion intending to report Xue Xiong's whereabouts. At the same time, they asked the people in the Xue Mansion why the atmosphere in the city was so tense. When they understood the reason, they all looked surprised.
