White Bone Monkey King

As the nine coffins fell to the ground, wow!

The mysterious black shadow under the Hualong Pond finally surfaced.

But that's not the coffin everyone imagined.

It's actually a monument.

The stele is as black as ink, larger than a millstone, and heavier than a millstone. The surface is carved with snake-like characters.

The moment the monument emerged from the pool, bang!

The weapon in the captain's hand flew towards the monument uncontrollably and clung tightly to the monument.

Then the various iron tools carried by everyone, including Jin'an's Husha Dao and the old Taoist Yin-Yang Compass, were not spared, and were all sucked away by the stele.

They were all polluted by the corpse fluids gathered from the evil spirits from heaven and earth in the Hualong Pond.

boom! boom!

The captain had just taken off his half-breastplate in a hurry. As soon as the half-breastplate left the captain's body, it was immediately sucked away by the black stone.

Very strong magnetism.

The completely black stele hung in the Hualong Pond is actually a huge magnet, and its magnetism is no less powerful than a neodymium magnet.

Because even Jin An couldn't hold the tiger evil sword, all the iron weapons on his body were sucked away instantly.

If General Duwei had not reacted quickly at the last moment and hurriedly took off his armor, which was no different from an iron coffin, he would have been crushed alive by the front and rear armors and his internal organs would be crushed to death.

This change was unexpected by no one and caused a small chaos in the team.

"The tomb in this imperial mausoleum is really not easy to steal. There are all kinds of traps along the way, and they didn't forget to trick us at the last moment." The old Taoist priest felt sorry for his Yin and Yang compass, because he was trying to find his position in the Yin House. Whether they can get rid of the Dragon King and get out of the mausoleum depends on the compass to find a way out.

It's good that they have already found the main tomb at the last moment, and they are being tricked by the leader of Teng Kingdom. Who knows if they are trapped in a huge mausoleum like a maze, can they still find their way back? The leader of the Teng Kingdom did not leave any chance of survival at all. As long as anyone was buried in the grave, he would kill them all and not let anyone go.

The old Taoist priest finally understood why the first batch of tomb robbers were all destroyed in this tomb, and no one survived. These damn ones were so desperate that they could never survive!

"This magnet is so powerful that we all fell in love with it. I'm afraid this magnet is an alien stone. It was polished into a monument by the Lord of Teng Kingdom to prevent outsiders from destroying his body with iron tools." As a member of the imperial court. People, the Captain has been exposed to more secrets. He is well-informed and has already recognized the unusual origin of this magnet with a serious look on his face.

Jin An frowned and looked at the Husha Dao that was sucked away by the black stele.

This magnet is probably even more powerful than neodymium magnets, but the smelting technology of neodymium magnets is complicated. I am afraid that in this era of backward production technology, it may not be possible to smelt it.

Only extraterrestrial stones can explain why a magnet more powerful than neodymium magnets appeared in ancient tombs thousands of years ago.

"Speaking of which, if the magnet from the alien stone is so powerful today, why are the iron chains above our heads not affected by the magnet?"

Some people looked curiously at the chains hanging up the monument.

This time it was Jin An who answered the question: "Actually, there are many metals in the world that are not affected by magnets, such as gold, silver, copper, lead, etc."

…

Boom!

At this moment, the Hualong Pond emerged from the water with the stele, and the entire platform began to shake violently, making people a little unsteady. It was like they cut off the iron chain of the Nine Dragon Coffin, and triggered some mechanism in the pond?

Boom!

The platform continued to shake violently.

In the chaos, everyone was surprised to see the water in the pool falling rapidly in the fast-flowing whirlpool, emptying out, and finally revealing a body at the bottom of the pool.

"Mom, it's so big!"

After the old Taoist priest saw clearly what was happening under the pond, he was stunned and said something.

Under the drained pool, there was a huge tree stump. The tree stump was so thick that it was difficult for ten of them to hug it together.

The tree stump is a log, and the surface still retains the vigorous and thick bark with a sense of age. It is deeper than the ravine on the old man's face. The uneven bark is like a knife and ax, and liquid is still dripping down.

Such a big log.

No matter where.

They are all precious spiritual objects in the world. Even if they are not sacred trees that are ten thousand years old, they are at least as old as his grandmother's five or six thousand years old.

And there was a male corpse on the tree stump.

Lord of Teng Kingdom!

Everyone was in high spirits.

The person who could appear in the depths of the imperial mausoleum and be buried in such a solemn manner must be the leader of the Teng Kingdom they had been looking for.

"The tree stumps in this pool are really big. Isn't this tree about ten thousand years old? Not to mention the ten thousand year sacred tree, even the thousand year wood is precious wood, but whether it is the thousand year wood or the giant trees seen in the underground palace in front The dragon pillar pales into insignificance compared with this huge tree stump, and the elbows touch the thighs."

Everyone looked at each other. It was no longer appropriate to say anything about shrinking at this time. Moreover, after going through all kinds of hardships, they were finally about to meet the legendary leader of Teng Kingdom, the Dragon King. I was so excited that I wanted to go into the pool immediately to see what the legendary Dragon King looked like? Does he really have a shoe-sole face?

In the dark tomb, just when everyone had a tacit understanding and was about to go to the bottom of the pool at the same time, suddenly, the nine coffins that landed on the ground in a circle around the platform suddenly slid open and flew towards Jin'an in the dark tomb. them.

When Jin An dodged the coffin lid that suddenly flew towards him, he turned around and looked in the direction behind him. He saw a human-dragon corpse half sitting up in the coffin. The corpse was headless. In the dim environment, the headless corpse was so quiet. Facing these "grave robbers" who disturbed the peace of the dead, the atmosphere in the tomb became strange.

"Your mother!"

"This is really a corpse!"

The sudden appearance of a fake corpse shocked the old Taoist priest and the mourner brothers so much that they were about to take action on the spot, but were stopped by Jin An and the captain in unison.

"There's something wrong with these bodies!"

"Don't do anything yet!"

Jin An and the captain looked at each other in surprise at the same time. They both felt a little surprised. They didn't expect that the other party could find something wrong with the corpse in front of them like they did.

After the initial shock, the old Taoist priest also saw something wrong with the corpse in front of him and frowned: "This corpse doesn't seem to move? It seems to be a completely dead thing?"

"But this makes sense. Since the nine sons of the Dragon are feeding the Dragon King in return, no matter how unwilling and resentful the people buried in these nine coffins were during their lifetimes, the Yin Qi in these coffins is used to nourish the corpses. , evil spirit, and resentment, I am afraid that they have been sucked away by the Dragon King, leaving only an empty shell. In the end, the nine sons of Longsheng only became one Dragon King." When the old Taoist said this, he shook his head and sighed.

This wave kept coming, so everyone decided to get rid of the corpses in the nine coffins first, and then go down to the pond to deal with the Dragon King, so as not to be attacked by the corpses in the nine coffins on the shore after they got into the pond. .

Everyone held torches and came to the coffin with vigilance, and soon found out why the corpse in the coffin suddenly appeared.

It turned out that there was a very sophisticated bronze mechanism hidden in this coffin.

There is a secret lock in the coffin. When the coffin is shaken and loses its balance, the corpse liquid in the coffin will shake violently, which will activate the secret lock and mechanisms, and eject the heavy coffin lid to attack tomb robbers or outsiders.

Then a rusty green bronze bracket was popped up under the corpse's back, and the corpse was propped up to create the illusion of a fake corpse.

In fact, all of this is a set of sophisticated mechanisms that scare people.

In order to obtain verification, everyone held up torches and began to inspect the remaining eight coffins on the huge platform in front of them.

As expected, all nine coffins had hidden mechanisms. At this time, they all stood up from their seats, creating the illusion of a fake corpse.

"What? The corpses in these coffins, except for scaring some people at first, turned out not to be dangerous at all. The leader of the Teng Kingdom is also bored. He spent so much time laying out the mystery, just relying on scaring people to scare away the tomb robbers. thief?"

The old Taoist priest muttered.

"Sharp sword, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you discover anything?"

In the tomb, Jin An suddenly saw that Xi Jian had been studying one of the corpses. Xi Jian was standing in front of the coffin, staring at the half-sitting motionless corpse of a human and dragon, and then he did not taboo at all about the dead people and those disgusting people. Corpse liquid, hand touching the corpse.

When he touched the abdomen of the human dragon's corpse, the sword suddenly felt like an electric shock. He pulled his hand back and returned to Jin An with a solemn expression.

Chi Jian looked at Jin An: "Master, there is an inner elixir hidden in the Dantian three inches below the navel of these corpses!"

Neidan?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then shouted in surprise.

"There is an inner elixir in the dantian. Doesn't it mean that the leader of the Teng Kingdom is really the reincarnation of a real dragon? Isn't the inner elixir in the dantian of these people the dragon's inner elixir?"

"That's the dragon's inner elixir. Brother, this thing has a price but no market, right? There just happen to be ten human-dragon corpses here, and we also have ten people here, each with a dragon elixir!"

The mourner's brother said in surprise.

The eldest brother of the mourner also stared straight at this time, looking straight at the corpse of the human dragon that was half-seated in the coffin in front of him: "This is not only priceless but has no market, it is already a rare treasure! It is rare to find it!"

Unexpectedly, Chi Jian's next words quickly broke the two brothers' illusions.

"That's not the dragon's inner elixir, it's the corpse elixir that was smelted by a Taoist master who made alchemy with the highly toxic substances left over from the elixir. It was hidden in the corpse. When the mechanism was triggered, it detonated the highly toxic corpse elixir hidden in the corpse." Dan. It’s used to guard against those grave robbers who steal the corpses without making any mistakes.”

"The Dragon King is not using these corpses to scare people, but if the mechanism fails and you damage or move the corpses just now, the poisonous corpse elixir hidden in the corpses will also be erupted." Chi Jian said this. At that moment, he glanced dullly at the old Taoist priest and the mourner.

The three of them stood there in embarrassment.

"It must have been too long. Many mechanisms in this tomb have aged and malfunctioned, so these corpses did not detonate the poisonous corpse elixir in their bodies when they sat up." Chi Jian concluded.

The thief is indeed a thief.

Sharpening a sword is professional.

"Brother Sword Sharpener, you are so awesome. Your vision and knowledge are simply more professional than those of a tomb robber. Anyway, I didn't expect that there would be so many doorways and mechanisms in the next tomb. Let's ask a less capable tomb robber to dig it. This imperial mausoleum from a thousand years ago, let alone successfully pass the Suspension Bridge of the Dead Man's Walk, I'm afraid I can't even recognize the fake tomb above."

As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. The words of the mourner will make the others subconsciously take a second look at the sword.

Afterwards, everyone reached a consensus.

Don't touch the nine human and dragon corpses if you have nothing to do.

To avoid accidentally triggering the poisonous corpse elixir in the corpse.

…

Since the nine human-dragon corpses were not in danger for the time being, everyone gathered around the Hualong Pond where the corpse liquid had dried up. After leaving half of them on the shore to take care of them, the remaining half descended to the bottom of the pond with extreme caution.

When I got to the bottom of the pool and took a closer look, I realized that the huge tree stump at the bottom of the pool was far more visually impactful than what I saw on the shore.

"With such a huge tree, the first thing I thought of as an old Taoist was the Jianmu in myths and legends!" the old Taoist priest exclaimed in surprise.

But immediately, everyone was shocked to discover that this log tree stump, which had been soaked in corpse liquid for thousands of years, was still as new as when it was first cut down. The roots of the tree stump stretched out under the pool and into the ground of the platform. I don’t know where it leads.

especially.

This tree stump has been soaked in corpse fluid for so long.

Surprisingly, there was no pungent stench of rotting corpses at all.

Quite the opposite.

It also carries the fragrance of thousand-year-old agarwood.

"This tree has not been soaked to death, and the bark is still as good as new. This tree stump is still alive after being soaked for a thousand years?"

The old Taoist priest seemed to have thought of something. He surrounded the tree stump and said in surprise: "The Lord of Teng Kingdom buried himself wet in this Dragon Transformation Pond. Could this tree stump be the legendary rare treasure soul-nurturing tree?"

Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest's eyes widened in shock.

"Mother!"

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the king of a country, even if it is just the imperial mausoleum of the king of a small country. These rare treasures collected from all over the world have opened my eyes to the old Taoist today. It is so big even if it is not ten thousand years old, it is five years old. A six-thousand-year-old soul-nurturing tree, I never dared to think about it before."

"It's no wonder that there are so many thieves in this world who always like to lurk day and night and burrow underground. Just because of this broadened horizons and being able to see all kinds of legendary treasures, even if they die in the tomb, it is worth it. "

At this time, even the monk Hongzhao, the elder of Bailong Temple's Taoist Enlightenment Dean, looked up with emotion and looked up at the huge stone tablet hanging above his head.

Monk Hongzhao clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist chant in a low voice with emotion: "Amitabha, the Lord of the Teng Kingdom, or the Dragon King, none of the funerary objects used to be buried with him after his death are ordinary common objects..."

"Except for the soul-nurturing tree in front of us, even the magnet above our head is not as simple as an ordinary extraterrestrial stone."

"The Teng text on this magnet means 'Corpse Suppressing Monument' when translated."

"Corpse monument?" The captain looked at Monk Hongzhao in confusion.

As a result, when the old Taoist priest, the mourner, and the country goddess heard the words "Corpse Suppression Monument," they all looked shocked and horrified.

"Corpse Suppression Monument!"

The mourner brothers looked up at the magnet above their heads in stunned silence, muttering, if it was really a corpse-suppressing monument, and they had just folded it into the hands of this corpse-suppressing monument, then it was really not unfair at all.

Seeing the horrified looks on several people's faces, the captain became even more curious: "Master Hongzhao, what exactly is a corpse-suppressing monument?"

Monk Hongzhao once again glanced at the huge black stele hanging above his head, then lowered his head and said bitterly: "Amitabha, I won't be able to explain the origin of this corpse-suppressing stele to the captain in detail for a while. I can only say that if we are in front of This huge tree stump is truly a ten thousand-year soul-nurturing tree, so the origin of the corpse-suppressing stele is no less precious than the ten-thousand-year soul-nurturing tree."

"No wonder the leader of the Teng Kingdom is so confident. He set up the Hualong Pond, confident that he can come back from the dead on Huangquan Road. It is also a soul-nurturing tree, a corpse-suppressing monument, and a Hualong Pond of the Nine Sons of Dragons and Dragonfly Dian Shui Bureau. All of this is intertwined, it’s not simple.”

The more they saw so many extraordinary treasures, the more curious they became about what the Lord of the Teng Kingdom looked like. At this time, everyone, including Jin An, looked at the soul-nurturing tree with even more curiosity. That corpse...
