White Bone Monkey King

In this bloody tomb passage.

Along the way, you can see the mummies of human sacrifices.

Some had dark, wide-open mouths and struggled to stretch their arms from above their heads, as if they were trying to grab something.

Some were lying on the ground, with faces full of fear and despair, desperately trying to break free from the roots of the soul-nurturing tree that were entangled in their calves.

…

Everything you see along the way is pure hell on earth.

There were many times when everyone had to lower their heads and bend down to carefully walk under the mummies above their heads, trying to avoid the mummies and the roots that stepped on the ground.

From time to time, you can see some strange stone statues in the tomb passage.

These stone statues are not human heads.

Just a bust.

And the facial features are particularly exaggerated.

For example, the slits at the corners of his eyes almost reach the back of his head, his mouth is so big that it reaches the base of his ears, his facial contours are sharp and angular, and his expression is heavy.

There are not many of these strange stone statues, and they are quite far apart. Only by walking along the tomb passage can you occasionally see isolated stone statues.

According to Mr. Feng Shui's explanation, the style of these stone statues is like the stone statues used by wizards in the past for sacrifice. This also confirms that this tomb passage is indeed a sacrifice pit, used for soul-nurturing trees to sacrifice living people.

"Mr. Yi, have you noticed that although we have been moving forward, this tomb passage seems to be going deeper?"

After walking in the dark and quiet bloody tomb passage for a while, the old Taoist priest who knew Feng Shui realized something was wrong and looked at Mr. Feng Shui.

Mr. Feng Shui nodded and pondered. In fact, he had already noticed that something was wrong with this place, and it was very simple to verify it.

Just take water and pour some water into the gaps between the floor tiles. Watch the water flow and you will be able to tell whether the tomb passage was built at an angle downwards?

As a result, the Feng Shui master borrowed it from several people, and everyone discovered that after all the troubles along the way, their water bags had been damaged at some point, and the bags were empty, not even a drop of water.

At present, only Jin An still has one-third of the water, and the old Taoist priest has half of the water.

"It seems that we have to save some water on the way forward. The main tomb chamber above collapsed. If we can't find a way out in a short time, this water will be life-saving water." In the tomb passage, Jin An began to distribute everyone's water. Water consumption.

Since clear water is precious, Mr. Feng Shui will naturally not use clear water to test the terrain of the tomb passage. Fortunately, the old Taoist priest's Tai Chi Bagua bag contains all kinds of treasures, and there are also many bottles and jars of small porcelain bottles.

"This porcelain bottle contains corpse oil. Maybe there will be places where corpse oil is needed along the way. Use this bottle. This bottle contains golden sore powder that can treat trauma and stop bleeding and bruises."

The old Taoist priest carefully put away a black porcelain vase like a treasure, and then put down another porcelain vase with a round belly.

As expected, the round-bellied porcelain vase rolled away in one direction.

No matter how you place it, it will only roll in the same direction.

Snap.

Snap.

During the next journey, in order to save the little water, everyone reduced unnecessary conversations. In the dark and oppressive tomb passage, only the sound of empty and crisp footsteps was left.

Facing the mummies and dead people in the tomb passage, as well as the quiet footsteps in the darkness, the timid person will probably be frightened by the atmosphere here.

"Shhh! There's movement!"

In the tomb buried deep in the mountains and old forests, the Feng Shui master who has the most profound knowledge in Feng Shui is often the one with the "smartest ears and eyes" among them. The Feng Shui master suddenly stopped everyone and made a silent movement.

What Feng Shui masters are best at is Feng Shui. In the underground tombs, any movement or disturbance of the earth's air is just like the feng shui of mountains and rivers. It has a clear context and cannot escape the nose, eyes and ears of Feng Shui masters who are most sensitive to these.

Doctors can expect to hear, ask and understand.

Feng shui masters understand Feng Shui, and they also look, hear, and inquire when looking for dragons and acupuncture points. However, their inspection, hearing, and inquiry are not about people, but about famous mountains and rivers in the world.

Mr. Feng Shui stretched out his palm and placed it against the cold, hard stone wall without the roots of the soul-nurturing tree to climb, carefully feeling the movement of wind and grass in the tomb passage.

Everyone looked at Mr. Feng Shui in confusion. They heard nothing. They even turned to look at Jin An. Jin An frowned and listened carefully. Then he shook his head and said that with his current physique, his five senses were stronger than ordinary people, and he was not in the tomb passage. Hear something.

"Could it be Chi Jian, Du Wei and the others?" Jin An's eyes narrowed.

"The movement is coming from there. In addition to the rustic atmosphere, there is also blood in this tomb passage, which is human blood! The movement is coming from that direction!"

Mr. Feng Shui fanned his nose, and from the faint air flow that was hard to detect, he could smell the smell of blood in the tomb passage in addition to the rustic smell.

But no one else smelled it.

Only Mr. Feng Shui smelled it underground.

"The direction that Mr. Yi is pointing happens to be the direction from which the air is blowing. It seems that we can't escape this time. And maybe the swordsman, Captain and the others are in danger!"

The old Taoist priest said nervously.

As a result, when they ran over eager to save the person, they hadn't found anyone yet, but the messy footsteps of many people could be heard in the tomb passage, as if many people were running for their lives in a panic.

Listening to the footsteps, there were at least one or twenty people.

"Is there anyone else in this tomb passage?"

"Where did so many people come from?"

The old Taoist priest exclaimed.

"Listening to the footsteps of so many people, there are more people than when we met up with Xi Jian, Du Wei and the others. Could it be that group of antique dealers and their accomplices are in this tomb passage?"

At this time, it was too late to think too much, because the messy footsteps were approaching very quickly. They seemed to have encountered something and were running away in panic. They arrived in a blink of an eye. Because they were running so fast, they almost collided with Jin An and the others when they turned the corner. Come together.

When the torch shone on these people, they were holding tower shields, with crossbows from Kang Dingguo's arms around their waists, and their heavy armor was covered with Taoist exorcism scriptures written with red sun cinnabar.

These people are the heavily armored cavalry guards that the captain brought to the tomb!

"Why is it you!"

"Taoist Priest Jin'an and Taoist Chen! Great, have you two Taoist priests seen my general? It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. The tree roots in the tomb passage have come alive. Run away!"

When the two groups of people met, they were all surprised and surprised.

The heavily armored cavalry guards were surprised to recognize Jin An, the old Taoist priest and the others, but they looked back behind them and urged everyone to escape from here with solemn expressions.

What!

The roots of the soul-nourishing tree come to life!

The old Taoist priest and the mourner looked behind the heavily armored cavalry guards with chills in their heads. It was better not to look back, but after looking at them, mother, run away!

The scarlet roots that were originally attached to the walls of the tomb passage were now like blood vessels peristalizing, and the recovery range was rapidly expanding. The scarlet roots were waving in the air as if they were hunting prey.

Damn, this is really coming to life! Little brother, run! The old Taoist priest urged him, turned around, and ran like crazy with everyone else.

"Are any of you hurt?"

"These tree roots are weird. Just like piranhas, they will be attracted by the smell of blood and go crazy! These tree roots will wake up and hunt prey when they smell a little blood!"

After being reminded by the cavalry guard, the others subconsciously glanced at Jin An.

"Little brother, did you know in advance that the roots of these soul-nurturing trees are sensitive to the smell of blood? That's why you disposed of the body of the dead monkey in such a timely manner, crushed the monkey's bones and spread the ashes, even the ashes!"

The old Taoist priest, with his old arms and legs, was out of breath running in the tomb passage, and he didn't forget to talk to Jin'an.

"Old Taoist, I originally wanted to carry out the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young. Seeing that you were so tired from running, I wanted to take the initiative to carry you on my back. Since you have a bad time, it means you still have some energy left." Jin An glared. Old Taoist priest.

After listening to Jin An's words, the old Taoist priest immediately grimaced.

His head drooped.

After running away, the roots in the tomb passage kept chasing them, and even more roots were alerted by the sound of their escape, and the dense tentacles bared their teeth and claws towards them.

"No! The roots of these soul-nurturing trees can make sounds!"

"As expected, I still have to rely on my share of corpse oil at this time!"

The old Taoist priest was out of breath after being chased. He looked around and complained endlessly.

…

After about two sticks of incense, Jin An and the others used corpse oil to cover the living person's three yang fires and suppress the blood in the body. In the midst of danger, they finally escaped from the pursuit of the soul-nurturing tree roots.

"call--"

"Huh-ha-"

"Old, I'm so old, I can't do it anymore..."

Just out of danger, the old Taoist priest felt as if his chest was about to explode as soon as he relaxed. He breathed in big gulps of air, filling his lungs with fresh cold air.

Just now, my life was hanging by a thread and I was busy running away, but I didn't notice anything. Now as soon as my body muscles relaxed, I suddenly felt pain everywhere in my body.

Until then, while everyone was resting and recovering their strength, Jin An and Mr. Feng Shui asked the cavalry guards what happened in the tomb passage?

Aren't they guarding the tunnel in the fake tomb and unable to get down? Why are they appearing in this tomb tunnel now?

Jin An quickly learned what happened.

It turned out that these cavalry guards were not idle when they stayed in the false tomb. They waited and waited until the captain and others came up. Because they were concerned about the safety of the captain, they continued to search for anyone else in the collapsed tomb. road.

Since others could enter the tomb and their footprints had never left, there must be another way. Sure enough, they found a robber cave that had been buried for many years under the ruins.

They walked along the Robber's Cave without incident. After some twists and turns, they arrived at this tomb passage.

The person who dug the hole was simply amazing. Not only was he able to drill the hole from the outside, he accurately drilled the hole in the southeast corner of the tomb. This time, he also hit the main chamber of the tomb owner with the same precision.

As for why these cavalry guards disturbed the roots of the soul-nurturing trees?

In fact, these roots were not alarmed by the cavalry guards.

The person who alarmed the roots of the soul-raising tree was the human dragon man who was an accomplice of the antique merchant. Like the old Taoist priest and the captain, he hid in the cracks of the platform at the last moment and successfully escaped the aftermath of the explosion and the Jueyin corpse fire.

I don't know whether it was the unlucky cavalry guards or the unlucky man with a dragon, but the two waves of men and horses happened to bump into each other in the tomb passage.

Because the human-dragon man's disguise technique has been destroyed, revealing the true face of the human-dragon facial features.

The soldiers of the Cavalry Guard had also seen what the human-dragon corpse looked like in the fake grave, so when they first saw the human-dragon man, they thought they had encountered a fake corpse in the tomb.

The two waves of men and horses fought fiercely as soon as they met.

Although these people are all masters in the military, and they can also be ranked as masters in the martial arts world. They are well-trained and proficient in military formation coordination, but the strong swordsman of the human dragon man still attacks and kills them and retreats.

Seeing that the Iron Barrel Army Formation was about to be shattered, fortunately, someone suddenly burst out with his potential, and the explosion drove back the human-dragon man. That is when the human-dragon man was injured, and a drop of blood dripped from the wound onto the roots on the ground. The calm roots in the tomb passage all rolled towards the human-dragon man like crazy.

According to what these cavalry guards said, if the human-dragon man hadn't been entangled by these strange roots in the tomb passage and dragged these roots in the tomb passage for them, they would not have been able to escape from the desperate situation.

"Hey, in order to save us, Old Shitou fought off the human-dragon man and was chased by the roots in the tomb passage. His whereabouts are still unknown. We don't even know whether he is alive or dead. We can survive this time because of Old Shitou's sacrifice. He saved us all."

"Old Shitou usually eats from the same big pot and lives in the same military tent as us. Who would have thought that Lao Shitou's strength was so hidden, and he broke out at the last moment and saved the lives of all our brothers..."

The cavalry guards, these big men with strong backs and shoulders, all had red eyes and sad eyes at this time. When they thought about their brothers in the army who sympathized with their brothers and sisters, and sacrificed themselves at the last moment to save them, they all blamed themselves, blaming themselves for their incompetence and delay. .

Looking at the cavalry guards whose morale was a little low, Jin An and the old Taoist priest took a look and sighed in their hearts.

…

At this time, the roots of the soul-nurturing trees in the ancient tomb gradually became calm again.

There is no resurrection after death.

After a brief period of low morale, the cavalry guards quickly regained their composure after hearing about the thrilling experiences of Jin An and the others and that their captain was also in the tomb passage. These soldiers were the most well-trained soldiers in the army. Morale, lead Jin An to find the exit of the robbery cave where they came from.

If Captain, Xiajian and the others were still alive, they must be looking for the exit at this time, or perhaps already on their way to the exit.

Although the roots in the tomb passage have returned to calm, for the sake of safety, everyone endured the strong smell on their bodies and did not wipe off the corpse oil on their bodies. They continued to use corpse oil to suppress the three Yang Fire and Blood Qi, and began to rush towards the robbery cave. Go.

Because they had a long way to go back this time, about three sticks of incense along the way, Jin An finally saw the place where the cavalry guard and the human-dragon man encountered each other.

The place was in shambles at this point.

The walls were covered with slash marks from swords and spears, especially the grooves made by the sword energy, which were several inches deep, which showed how intense the battle was at that time.

"There seems to be something wrong. There are many more weird roots in this place than when we came..." A cavalry guard whispered to Jin An.

Jin An pondered, and after asking the old Taoist priest and Feng Shui master for their opinions, everyone continued on their way.

This is their only way to the exit.

No matter how dangerous the front is.

I can only bite the bullet and keep moving forward.

Only then will the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth.

There are indeed many more roots in the tomb passage here than in other places along the way. There are even many places where it is difficult to set foot, and it is as cautious as walking on a spider web.

"Hush! Mr. Jin An, look over there!"

The Feng Shui master with the most sensitive senses in the tomb suddenly stopped everyone and pointed to a place in front of him.

Under the dim light of the torch, everyone vaguely saw something struggling above the blood-colored tomb passage. The struggle became weaker and weaker. A closer look revealed that it was a person, a human-dragon man!

But at this time, the human-dragon man was very miserable.

He was like a ball of silkworm chrysalis, wrapped around by bloody roots. Those bloody roots squirmed and penetrated into the human-dragon man's wounds, eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and crazily sucked human blood.

Those roots drank until their blood was shining brightly.

Flash, flash in the darkness.

It reveals an unspeakable evil nature and charisma.

The human-dragon man's recovery ability, at this moment, has become a cocoon for him. In the tight entanglement of countless roots, his body dies and recovers again and again, and the pain and despair he feels when facing death and killing are all gone. The longer it is.

In a long period of pain and despair.

Feeling the vitality of the body passing away bit by bit, and the blood being drained bit by bit.

In the long wait for death.

Experience the torture.

This is probably worse than the Lingchi death penalty.

"This is such a miserable way to die. You deserve to be trapped in a cocoon!" the old Taoist priest cursed.

No one present felt pity for this human-dragon man. These fellow antique dealers all committed many evil deeds, and none of them was innocent.
