White Bone Monkey King

"Mom!"

The old Taoist priest was so surprised that he forgot that he was still underwater.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he choked on his mouth several times and struggled wildly under the water.

Seeing the old Taoist priest choked by the water, Jin An had no time to think about the Water Goddess's intentions. After hurriedly collecting a few things floating in the water, he dragged the old Taoist priest to the surface with his sword.

cough--

Ahem——

When everyone landed on the shore, they coughed violently and breathed in the fresh air on the shore for the rest of their lives. They all lay on their backs on the shore without any image.

At this time, everyone was exhausted and had no strength to move a finger, leaving only the chest heaving violently.

The narrow escape from death along the way has exhausted all the energy of the group. Now they really don’t have the energy to move anymore. They just want to lie on the shore and have a good sleep. Even if the sky falls, I don’t want to move. .

It wasn't until their bodies relaxed completely that they noticed the pain all over their bodies and the bruises in many places on their bodies, all of which were caused by the impact in the underground river.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

The old Taoist priest coughed up all the water in his lungs after coughing for a long time, and finally he could speak. The first thing he said was to pour out the bitter water to Jin'an: "They say there are three major hardships in life, forging a boat and forging iron." Selling tofu, because you have to get up early and stay late every day to make a living. As a veteran, I think it should be added to the hardship. It is not easy for tomb robbers to rob a tomb. Not only do you get up early and stay late, but you also have to be chased by dead people and choked by water."

"Little brother, I feel like I've lost half my life just because I was choked by water."

"Okay, stop being such a mouthful. I looked at the moonlight above my head. It's going to be dawn soon. You and Mr. Yi, please hurry up and confirm where we are now so that we can rush back to the Dragon King Terrace to join the others."

Jin An's words reminded everyone that the large cavalry guards who had experienced a series of narrow escapes and collapsed on the shore from exhaustion had already stood up and stood in line in a serious manner without the orders of the general.

These cavalry guards are indeed the soldiers personally trained by General Duwei, and each of them is the best among the best.

At this time, everyone noticed that there was a flat lake in front of them, and they had just swam out of the bottom of the lake.

Although after dark, the mountains are only as dark as the outline of a giant beast, and they all look the same, but this cannot help the Feng Shui masters and old Taoist priests who know Feng Shui and can look up at the sky and observe the geography.

After identifying the star position, the two quickly located their location at this time.

The difference between them and Longwangtai is a bit big. They have to follow the river in the mountains, find the mouth of the river, and then walk back more than 20 miles on the mountain road before they can return to Longwangtai.

Everyone was worried about the long nights and dreams, and ignored their tired bodies and hungry stomachs. They rushed all night long to keep up their spirits. Along the way, they could only satisfy their hunger with the help of white and swollen flour cakes in cowhide bags that were soaked in water.

"Mr. Jin An, why do I think the Water Goddess is very familiar with you? After she saw Mr. Jin An, she didn't kill us. Instead, she gave you a gift, Mr. Jin An?"

On the way, the mourning brothers struggled to finish chewing the dough, which was swollen with water and tasteless like chewing wax. After running around in the tomb all night, they finally had something to put in their hungry stomachs, and then everyone began to think. Time, the mourner asked Jin An curiously.

As a result, before Jin An answered, the old Taoist priest who had recovered from the shadow of choking on the water winked and said: "You can also see it, hey, when I first met the Water Goddess in the Hanging Coffin Burial Canyon, I also said I can see it.”

Then the old Taoist told everyone how Jin An met the Water Goddess on the first day he came to Fucheng.

Of course, the old Taoist priest is not stupid enough to reveal the fact that Jin An once injured Xiao Hanbao when he was walking in the underworld. It is enough that people in the Five Zang Taoist Temple know about it.

After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, everyone looked at Jin An in surprise.

That look of admiration and awe was just short of giving a thumbs up and praising Taoist Jin An, you are really awesome.

Jin An glared at the talkative old Taoist priest and said thoughtfully: "Actually, this matter is not as complicated as everyone thinks. I think the Water Goddess is just repaying her kindness."

"She fell into the water and drowned. She was married back to the Dragon Palace by the Dragon King and became the Water Goddess. She was killed by the Dragon King. I killed the Dragon King today. It is normal for her to repay her kindness."

The younger brother who had the most problems among the mourners nodded after hearing what Jin An said: "But I just think that Elder Jin An is awesome."

Jin An: "?"

After all, Jin An almost killed Xiao Hanba, the son of the Water Goddess. He felt a little guilty and did not want to talk more about this topic, so he changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the leader of Teng Kingdom was killed by the four Hangu of Dragon King Terrace. He was nailed to a pile under the Yinyi River. How did he escape from being burned in the catastrophe of wind and fire and find us for revenge?"

Mr. Feng Shui thought and nodded: "The reason why the Lord of Teng Kingdom was able to escape from the drought bone pile and be burned in the wind and fire disaster should have something to do with the underworld ferryman monkey, which finally detonated the corpse pill and caused the collapse of the main tomb..."

"As for the specific changes that occurred, it is not known to outsiders like us. I am afraid that only the deceased Lord of Teng Kingdom knows about it."

At this time, even General Duwei was curious and joined the conversation: "Mr. Yi, what is the flesh and blood spirit bead that the Lord of Teng Kingdom spit out from his mouth at the last moment? Is it also a corpse pill?"

Mr. Feng Shui frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "I believe everyone has heard that all the kings and emperors in the past dynasties would seek advice and medicine in their old age, hoping to take elixirs to live forever."

"The leader of Teng Kingdom is greedy for life and afraid of death. He can't give up the glory and wealth he had during his lifetime. He will definitely not let go of seeking medicine and seeking immortality."

"He had many soldiers and horses at his command. He must have plundered many precious herbs and consumed many miraculous medicines in famous mountains and rivers during his lifetime. Otherwise, he would not have been able to refine so many poisonous medicine residues and hide them among his nine sons. The body is inside..."

"And the really best elixir was naturally left to him by the Lord of Teng Kingdom. This is in line with his selfish and monopolistic character. Because there are amber stones, corpse-suppressing tablets, and soul-nurturing trees to nourish his body. With the divine soul, it ensures that the body will not decay for thousands of years, and the elixir that he took into his stomach may be because it has been nourished by the corpse energy for thousands of years, and finally transformed into a real corpse elixir."

"These are just my personal conjectures. I don't know what the actual facts are."

Mr. Feng Shui walked and talked.

Even though the mountain road was rugged, his heart still didn't beat and he didn't breathe.

Breathe calmly.

This shows that a master who pays attention to cultivating Qi in daily life has already succeeded in cultivating Qi.

On the other hand, although the old Taoist priests also practice Qi, they are not so calm and relaxed.

On the rugged mountain road, I was out of breath all the way.

From time to time, I have to stop and dig out the mountain mud from the soles of my shoes, which weigh several kilograms.

The old Taoist priests feel more like ordinary people.

An ordinary wandering old Taoist priest who knows more Taoism than ordinary people.

"It's a pity. Even if we crushed the Dragon King to ashes, we still couldn't see the Dragon King's true appearance in the end. Is he a sole face?"

"Before I went to the tomb, I was always curious about what the dragon king in folklore looked like, and I always wanted to see his true appearance."

The old Taoist priest took off his shoes, leaned against a big tree and picked out the mud with a branch. After patting the mud that fell into his shoes on the tree trunk, the old Taoist priest put his shoes back on and continued to catch up with everyone.

The old Taoist priest said this.

A bit of regret actually arose in everyone's heart.

When they first met the leader of the Teng Kingdom, the leader of the Teng Kingdom was completely covered with dragon scale jade armor.

When Jin An broke the amber stone, the leader of Teng Kingdom was immediately burned in the fire and turned into a bloody corpse with no skin on his body.

From the beginning to the end, I have never seen the true appearance of the leader of the Teng Kingdom who was known as the reincarnation of the true dragon thousands of years ago.

…

…

The mountain road for twenty or thirty miles was not easy to walk. Even though Jin'an and the others worked hard, until the first white fish belly appeared at the end of the sky, the sun rose in the east, and when dawn arrived, they were still one hill away from the Dragon King Terrace.

suddenly.

Rumbling, the earth shook, and the heaven and earth roared.

"what sound?"

The team stopped.

But not long after, everyone's expressions changed. The deafening sound of the river broke the dawn silence. The turbid waves emptied and surged forward, like a yellow turbid dragon entering the river. The vibration made the earth tremble and roar.

It was the Yinyi River that had stopped flowing, and the water level had risen again.

When he saw the surging river rushing past his eyes, the captain's expression changed.

"I have an appointment with the Dragon King Temple. If we don't come out of the Thousand Corpses Cave and go ashore, we will never let the tide of the Yinyi River rise! No! Something happened at the Dragon King Temple!"

The captain's face darkened, and everyone did not dare to delay on the road any longer. Jin An carried the old Taoist priest on his back, and with a flick of his body, he jumped out like a leopard in the dense forest, and his back could not be seen for an instant.

The rest of the people also followed up at full speed.

When they arrived at the Dragon King's Terrace, they saw that it was in a mess. There were many wounded soldiers lying on the shore, wailing and screaming. The Dragon King's Temple and four bone piles had all been destroyed.

Jin An and the others appeared at Dragon King Terrace with so many people, and there was a lot of commotion, which immediately attracted the attention of the guards at Dragon King Terrace.

"Captain...Captain?"

"Captain, are you still alive?"

"Captain, are you a human... or a ghost now? Wasn't the Cave of Thousand Corpses flooded by the Yinyi River's inflow..."

When the guards saw the captain, the three monks of Bailong Temple, the Taoist priests of Wuzang Taoist Temple, and the cavalry guards who had returned alive, their faces looked pale with shock and they were not sure.

"explain!"

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Why did the water in the Yinyi River rise again before we returned to the Dragon King Temple? Did something happen to Xiao Hanba?"

The captain looked at the devastation and wounded soldiers in front of him, his eyes were so angry that he wanted to spit out fire. At this moment, the captain's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

These are all elite soldiers he brought out with his own hands.

He just went to the Cave of Thousand Corpses and killed and injured so many elite brothers. How could he not be angry? His eyes seemed to be bursting with anger.

The captain's face is gloomy now, but he has not lost his reason and calmness. He has already maintained a good temper. His ten fingers hidden in his sleeves are clenching tightly, and the phalanges are cracking. He is trying his best to suppress the burning heat in his chest, which is like lava. of anger.

Seeing the wounded soldiers lying around, the expressions of the old Taoist priest and the three monks of Bailong Temple also changed. Then they took out the golden sore medicine, took the initiative to set the bones, stop the bleeding, and cooperated with the doctors to treat the wounded.

The old Taoist priests and the three monks from Bailong Temple were no weaker than the doctors who opened medical clinics in terms of healing injuries through bruises and injuries.

It was not until this moment that the guards were finally convinced that the captain in front of them was a living person and not a dead person who was drowned in the Cave of Thousands of Corpses. The shocked iron-blooded soldiers immediately turned red in their eyes and began to cry loudly. General Duwei must avenge his brothers.

Why.

Jin An, who was originally a little complacent about pacifying the Dragon King, looked at the miserable situation in front of him and sighed with depression.

Soon, everyone learned what happened.

It turned out that the reason why the group of antique dealers did not all go to the ancient tomb this time was because their goal from the beginning was not just to seize the Tengguo artifact, the Water-Dividing Pearl.

These antique merchants were divided into two groups and infiltrated into their ranks. They used their hands to break through the layers of mechanisms in the main tomb, waiting for an opportunity to snatch the Tengguo artifact, the water-dividing drop, from the body of the Tengguo leader.

On the other hand, not long ago, a group of people suddenly attacked and besieged the Dragon King Temple, as well as the mysterious Taoist master who was responsible for suppressing and controlling Xiaohanba Duanjiang in the Yinyi River.

In terms of time, it was almost the time when Jin An broke the amber stone of the Lord of Teng, when the Lord of Teng was caught in the catastrophe and burned, and when the monkeys snatched away the water drops from the body of the Lord of Teng.

Now it all makes sense.

Why did he kill the monkey but failed to find the water droplet on the monkey? At that time, there was another person in the tomb with the water droplet and successfully escaped.

After the man escaped from the ancient tomb, as soon as the antique merchants who were lying in wait found his accomplices, they immediately launched a sneak attack on the imperial guards.

Although the mysterious Taoist master who could control the small Hanban was very capable, he was besieged by several people, especially the antique dealers who took advantage of their sympathy for ordinary people and massacred ordinary soldiers, and then took the opportunity to besieged and injured the mysterious person. The master Taoist priest robbed the coffin containing Xiao Hanbao.

In other words, the Tengguo artifact, the Water-Dividing Bead, as well as the Xiaohan Demon, have all been acquired by that group of antique dealers.

Just now, everyone was immersed in the joy of annihilating the antique dealers in the lower tomb, but now it was gone. Although Jin An and the others killed many masters of the opponent, the antique dealers also got what they wanted.

As the guards talked, they couldn't help crying again.

They thought that even the captain and the others had died in the tomb, and that all the masters on their side had been wiped out.

"Bastard! These people really don't want to die!"

After hearing the cause and effect, the captain finally could no longer suppress the hot anger in his heart.

"These thieves actually dare to attack and kill the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and openly defy the imperial court! Investigate it for me. Immediately seal off the entire Wuzhou Prefecture. Investigate city after city! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must dig out these things for me. A hiding place for thieves!"

"Wang Guang, you lead a group of troops and rush to Fucheng to see if Master Fuyin is okay. Use my military talisman to mobilize the remaining cavalry brothers in the barracks to protect Master Fuyin! I'm worried that since those thieves dare If they take action against us, they will also take action against Mr. Fu Yin. Only by disturbing the muddy waters of Wuzhou Prefecture will they have a chance to escape from Wuzhou Prefecture!"

General Duwei issued military orders one after another.

The soldiers present, whose morale was low and had lost their backbone, suddenly regained their morale and found their backbone. Everyone shouted and began to take action vigorously and resolutely.

"Taoist Priest Jin'an, abbot, and all of you, I'm sorry. I'm afraid this celebration banquet for pacifying the Dragon King case won't be finished in a short time. After I pacify the Wuzhou Prefecture rebellion, I'll have a feast one by one another day. I’ll pay you a visit and thank you.”

"Don't worry, everyone, the imperial court will never break its promise."

General Duwei clasped his hands and faced Jin'an and the abbot of Bailong Temple, apologizing to them one by one.

…

Who would have thought.

Not long after they landed, they faced so many changes one after another.

Jin An and the others all understood the captain's heavy mood at this time. After treating all the wounded, everyone said goodbye to each other and left the Dragon King Temple with their exhausted bodies.

Mr. Feng Shui left together with Jin An, the old Taoist priest, and Xi Jian. After all, the Wu Zang Taoist Temple was a big man, and it was not suitable for the goddess to stay overnight. The goddess went back to her own residence to recuperate.

When there were only four of them left on the road, Mr. Feng Shui made a surprising statement: "Master Jin'an, I was in the tomb before. Because there were so many people talking, I couldn't say more."

"Actually, before we went to the tomb this time, my wife had roughly guessed why those people were so deliberately planning to steal the Teng Kingdom's artifact, the Water Dividing Bead..."

"The Corpse Execution Immortal was born, and Luo Gengyu's map was born. They should be eyeing the Cave Heaven Paradise that is about to open..."

"The Cave Heaven Paradise has been silent for too long, and the first Cave Heaven Paradise that will be opened this time is a bit special. My wife happens to know something about the situation, and that group of people is well prepared to seize the Water Dividing Pearl."

The age of great strife is coming soon!
