White Bone Monkey King

"This sound of water, could it be the arrival of the Water Goddess?"

In the quiet darkness, everyone, you look at me and I look at you.

Then everyone climbed up the stairs.

But halfway through, a dead end road appeared in front of us. The suspension bridge that originally led to the huge platform in front had long since rotted and broken due to disrepair.

The broken rope hung down several wooden boards, along the bottomless cliff, hanging close to the cliff wall and into the depths of the cliff. Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, the end of the broken rope could not be seen.

Fortunately, Jin An, Du Wei, and Monk Kong Ming are not ordinary people, they are all masters in the martial arts.

Monk Kongming, the master of the Luohan Hall of Bailong Temple, took the initiative to ask for help. He grabbed a rope, turned over with a kite, and used ladder clouds in the air to help him reach the other side smoothly.

And find a protruding rock and tie the rope.

Then, the mourner, the old Taoist priest, and the country goddess, who did not know martial arts, climbed to the other side along the rope one after another.

Then came the sword-cutting, the abbot of Bailong Temple, and the monk Hongzhao of Bailong Temple.

Because Jin'an and Duwei were martial arts practitioners with strong bodies and could move freely to the other side without the help of ropes, they were responsible for staying behind and taking care of the safety of the ropes. They were the last to reach the other side.

Seeing that everyone else had reached the other side safely, just when Jin An was about to leave for the other side, he suddenly asked the Captain about something: "Captain, how did the 'Corpse Hiding Case in Snow Village' end?"

The captain, who was about to leave for the other side, heard Jin An's words and looked solemnly at the old Taoist priest who was being supported and comforted by the mourning brothers on the other side because of his fear of heights.

Next, the captain told an unexpected and shocking truth.

"Actually, the villager named Zhuangzi has never been to any snow village at all. The so-called snow village is Qili Tun. Qili Tun is the strange snow village that only appears in snow disaster years after all the people in the village have died."

"The village woman that Daochang Chen met in the countryside that night was the dead Qilitun ghost. The ghost deliberately came out of the mountain to lure Taoist priests into the mountain to harm people. That weasel skin is no longer enough to eat ordinary people, and its appetite is getting bigger and bigger. , and instead ate monks and Taoist priests who had practiced spiritual practice. When the government officials found Xuecun, more than a dozen corpses of local Taoist priests, monks, and Xuan Shu masters who had gone missing had already been found in Xuecun."

"No one knows how Daochang Chen escaped from the snow village. I only heard that when Daochang Chen ran to the Yamen to report the crime, he was covered in blood and seriously injured. My good friend who was in the army in the north said that the local Yamen found the state capital Garrison, when a large number of troops braved the heavy snow and entered the mountains to find the snow village, there was no living person in the snow village. They were all snowmen. The dead people were buried in the snowman with their corpses frozen in the snowman. There was heavy snow in the sky, covering the snowman more and more. thick."

"That day, the fire burned for seven days and seven nights, and all the pine forests around it were cut down before the snow village was completely burned."

This final result was really unexpected.

Jin An was startled when he heard this.

Like the captain, he couldn't help but look curiously at the old Taoist priest who had yet to recover from his fear of heights. At this moment, he was being supported and comforted by the two mourning brothers, who looked exactly like an ordinary little old man.

If that snow village was really a village of the dead born out of resentment, what the old Taoist priest experienced in the snow village might not be as simple as what he just said.

Perhaps the unfinished story of the old Taoist priest is the real key to Xuecun...

Jin An planned to find an opportunity to ask the old Taoist priest how he escaped from the snow village after what happened in the tomb was over.

Next, Jin An and Du Wei arrived on the other side smoothly.

Seeing Jin An coming over, the old Taoist priest said hello to Jin An, but his legs and feet were still a little unruly and trembling.

If you have never experienced climbing on a suspended cliff, with the wind whistling in your ears and looking down at the pitch-black cliff, you will not be able to understand the strong urge to jump from a high place due to fear of heights.

"Old Taoist, are you okay? Do you want to take a rest first? So that your soul can catch up with your body?" Jin An asked the old Taoist priest with concern.

The old Taoist priest was also stubborn. With the stubbornness of the little old man who refused to admit defeat in front of the young people, he forcibly calmed down and said that he was fine and there was no need to take special care of him. It took too long for everyone to go down to the Yinyi River. It would be a long night and many dreams, so it was better to make a quick decision. , get out of the tomb early and go ashore early.

Afterwards, the group of people began to cautiously approach the high platform.

…Tick tock…

…Tick tock…

The sound of dripping water still echoed in the darkness.

The frequency is very low.

It dripped slowly.

Fortunately, the mausoleum was only half-built and not completely finished, so we didn't encounter any traps along the way. Or even if there are mechanisms, they haven't been arranged yet. After walking through a section of stairs, everyone finally stepped onto the high platform without incident.

Under the light of ten torches.

Jin An and the others finally saw clearly what the so-called coffin was.

This high platform covers a large area, and above their heads, nine coffins are hung by heavy bronze chains. Each of the nine coffins is different and forms a circle above their heads.

The order is: Qiu Niu, Jia Sui, Chao Feng, Pulao, Suān Ni, Baxia, Biuan (àn), Negative Xi (xì), Chi (chī) Kiss.

"Is this how all the nine sons of Long Sheng are gathered together?"

The old Taoist priest looked at the nine coffins hanging above his head, raised his head and said in wonder.

"What does it mean to place the coffins of the dragon's nine sons in the mausoleum of the Lord Teng? Does it mean that the Lord Teng brought his nine most beloved sons to resurrect from the underworld together?"

The old Taoist priest guessed.

It can be seen that the construction of this high platform has not yet been completed, because many stone piers can be seen on the high platform, but there are only heavy stone piers, but no stone pillars.

In the end, everyone's eyes were attracted to a pool of water in the center of the high platform.

"This is deep inside the mausoleum. If there is a pool here, could this pool be the Dragon Transformation Pool mentioned in the fake tomb?"

"Then the person buried in Hualong Pond should be the leader of Teng Kingdom a thousand years ago?"

The old Taoist priest approached holding a torch.

The old Taoist priest's conjecture is not groundless.

Because there is a thick bronze chain that connects the sky and the earth, connecting the pool in front of you with the nine coffins above your head.

At this time, everyone held torches in their hands and gathered around the Dragon Transformation Pond in the center of the platform.

The water in the pool was pitch black, and it was impossible to see clearly what was underneath. It didn't have the odor of corpses as expected, but instead had a light fragrance.

It's like the fragrance of agarwood.

Just when everyone was watching in surprise.

Tick ​​tock!

Among the nine coffins hanging above the head, corpse oil flowed out from the coffin, and then flowed along the bronze chain to the middle. Finally, along the bronze chain hanging straight down, Jin'an and the others watched the corpse oil dripping into their eyes. In the pool.

Face this scene.

Several people present were startled.

Everyone looked at each other. Faced with this strange scene, they fell into silence and dead silence for a while. Finally, the country goddess tried to say something: "Old lady, why do I look at the scene in front of me? It's a bit like the dragonfly's water bureau in the feng shui bureau of the ghost house?" "

Anyone who knows a little bit about Feng Shui knows that the dragonfly's touch of water is in the Feng Shui Yin House, which is the treasure land of Feng Shui and the hole of wealth for dragons and tigers.

If a dragonfly touches water, it will naturally touch the coffin.

This is the feng shui treasure land of Yin Zhai that is revitalized.

If there is no water, can we ask the dragonfly to get some water?

"Old Taoist, you are the one with the highest attainments in Feng Shui here. Professional matters must be answered by professionals. Tell me, is this in front of us the Dragonfly Dian Shui Bureau in the Yin Mansion?" Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest beside him.

At this time, the old Taoist priest had a serious expression on his face.

"Little brother, this Dragonfly Pointing Water Bureau is very evil. I feel like my eyelids are twitching all the time. The dragon gives birth to nine sons..."

"The Lord of the Teng Kingdom is really cruel. For his own selfish desires, it is not enough to kill one of his sons. He also has to bury nine of his sons with him. No wonder the Lord of the Teng Kingdom has no successor. After the death of the Lord of the Teng Kingdom, Soon the country was destroyed, which is called karma."

"Old Taoist, I finally understand why there are the coffins of the nine sons of the Lord of Teng Kingdom here."

"The leader of the Teng Kingdom is selfish and has never thought about resurrecting himself and bringing his heirs with him. He is using the nine dragons to create a bigger Feng Shui situation than a dragonfly can touch water. He is using the dragon to create a bigger Feng Shui situation. The corpse oil of the most Yin Qi of the nine sons who died without turning, nourished his Yin body after death day and night. In the end, Yin and Yang were born, and a trace of Yang Qi was born in the corpse, thus resurrecting him. This Tengguo The king had no intention of resurrecting his son at all, but just wanted to be alone, so he sacrificed his nine sons and used the lives of his nine sons to repay him and resurrect him thousands of years after his death."

"Everyone should still remember the Taoist master who failed to unravel the corpse, right? The stone ox carrying his stone coffin is still displayed in the square of Fucheng." The old Taoist suddenly mentioned the matter of the corpse. .

No one interrupted the old Taoist priest.

Let the old Taoist priest continue.

The old Taoist priest continued: "Old Taoist, I suspect that when the Lord of Teng Kingdom was alive, he must have been searching for Taoist priests all over the world, trying to refine the elixir of immortality. Although the illusory elixir of immortality was not used by him. Otherwise, he would not have died in this cold tomb in the end, but he found another shortcut to immortality. He probably met some Taoist master or accidentally found the cave ruins of some Taoist master. Thus, he learned about the heaven-defying art of Shi Jie Xian, which can bring people back to life. However, the leader of the Teng Kingdom is not a Taoist, he is just the leader of a secular vassal state. He certainly cannot use Taoist secrets like Shi Jie Xian. Technique, until one day, he had a whim and thought of another way to replace the corpse-resolving immortal, which is the Dragonfly Nine Sons Dragonfly Pointing Water Game in front of him!"

"A trace of the extreme yang variable is born in the extreme yin, and then it is resurrected by the yang. This kind of corpse decomposition immortal that has been changed beyond recognition can be regarded as a combination of corpse decomposition and hydrolysis."

"It is estimated that the art of corpse dismemberment has been changed beyond recognition, so the leader of the Teng Kingdom has been lying in the tomb for thousands of years without being able to successfully restore his body."

"Otherwise, according to the normal corpse-resolving immortal, as long as you survive the various natural and man-made disasters that destroyed the corpse during the three hundred years of the catastrophe, you can successfully change your destiny and successfully come back to life."

The old Taoist priest said this.

When Jin'an and others thought about it, they all felt that it made more sense the more they thought about it.

"Fortunately, the Feng Shui pattern here is not completely arranged. It is also fortunate that the Lord of Teng Kingdom did not obtain the real art of corpse-dissolving and immortality. He has been lying in the tomb for a thousand years and has not been resurrected. Otherwise, this world will remain unchanged for another thousand years. Bones, help the tyrants to do harm, and all living beings are in ruins." The old Taoist priest sighed, showing a happy expression.

"Brother, after listening to what Daochang Chen said, why do I feel that it is right for us not to rob the tomb and keep the body of the Lord Teng intact? This time we go to the Yinyi River to eliminate the Dragon King, but are we helping the evildoers?"

The mourner's younger brother suddenly pulled his eldest brother's hand quietly and said secretly.

The eldest brother of the mourner glared at his younger brother: "We are not thieves. Why are we robbing tombs? We are called teachers of justice! If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up! General Duwei is the official of the imperial court and the tallest among us. Our brother The two of you should quietly get closer to General Duwei, and let the taller man take care of anything you have to do!"

The two mourners secretly communicated in private.

only.

The tomb was quiet. No one spoke except the two of them. The secret conversation between the mourning brothers seemed particularly clear in the quiet tomb. In fact, it was not much different from the normal speaking volume. The mourner thought that his secret conversation had been heard clearly by everyone.

Including the captain.

However, the captain ignored the mourner for the time being. He saw that people's hearts were floating at this moment, so he said in a deep voice to encourage morale: "Everyone, I said in the fake tomb above that this Dragon King was used by the Feng Shui master of the imperial court to use four dry bone stakes. He was nailed to death at the bottom of the Yinyi River. No matter how much he wanted to ascend to heaven or cause trouble, he could only be stranded on the beach, half-dead, and his strength was greatly reduced."

"If you are worried about the Dragon King, or the Thousand Years of Cultivation of the Lord of Teng Kingdom, you don't need to be overly cautious. As the saying goes, the evil will not suppress the good, and the devil is taller and the road is taller. I don't believe it. With a dry bone stake nailed to the bottom of the Yinyi River, how much wind and waves can this dragon king stir up? If it was really powerful, it would have broken out of the prison long ago. Why is it still stranded under a mere Yinyi River! "

"We have gone through so much along the way, and now we have finally found the coffin of the leader of the Teng Kingdom. Seeing that success is imminent, are you just now thinking of wasting all your efforts and retreating from the battle?"

In fact, there is no need for the captain to say more. So many people died along the way. Everyone has reached this point, so naturally they are all determined people.

No one would choose to go back at a time like this.

Next, everyone began to study, how to take out the coffin of the Lord of Teng Kingdom from the Hualong Pond?

Finally, after carefully observing the high platform, I found that if I want to get the coffin, I have to rely on the nine coffins hanging above my head to pull the coffin.

The nine coffins that read "A dragon gives birth to nine sons, each with his own uniqueness" have a bronze chain hanging down from each coffin, nailed straight into the rocky ground in the darkness.

They only need to cut off the nine bronze chains, and the nine coffins will fall. With the help of the falling force, they can drag out the coffin of the Lord of Teng Kingdom hidden in the Hualong Pond.

Just do it.

Jin An and the captain personally cut the bronze chains that tied the nine coffins.

sulfuric acid!

sulfuric acid!

sulfuric acid!

The nine coffins that were originally suspended above the head had maintained peace for thousands of years. The balanced bronze chains were broken one by one. In this empty and dark underground cave world, the bronze chains shook violently and clanged.

As the bronze chains of the heavy coffins were cut off one after another, the coffins descended, and the straight bronze chain hidden in the Hualong Pond collapsed straight as if it was tied to some heavy giant object.

Afterwards, a huge black shadow began to rise slowly in the Hualong Pond...

sulfuric acid! sulfuric acid!

As more and more bronze chains were cut off, the huge black shadow emerged from the water at a faster speed under the Hualong Pond. The expressions on the faces of the people standing far away also became serious, and they began to be alert to the darkness around them.

Logically speaking, before them, the underworld ferryman and the mysterious master who reminded them all the way should pass through the underground palace first and descend into this underground cave. But until now, these people have not been seen!

Boom!

Boom!

…

With a heavy and loud noise, the first thing to fall heavily to the ground and throw up dust were the nine "Dragon Born Nine Sons" coffins that were originally hanging above everyone's heads. And as these nine old coffins hit the ground hard, it was like hitting the hearts of ten people in Jin'an nine times, and their breathing became tight.
