White Bone Monkey King

Jin'an's soul floated close to everyone's heads.

He heard clearly the whole story from the villagers who went to funerals on a rainy night.

Not so long ago.

A group of antique dealers came to Sanshui Village.

This group of antique dealers stayed in the village for a few days, saying that they wanted to buy antiques in their village, and asked the villagers to go home and look for any items they thought were antiques, and they could come to them to sell them at a good price.

At first.

The villagers naturally distrust these outsiders.

They are all very vigilant.

Therefore, there was no business in the first few days when this group of antique dealers entered the village, and these antique dealers were not in a hurry and wandered around the village all day long.

Until later, a poor and lazy man, with the mentality of giving it a try, picked up the blue stone bars used as footrests in the toilet at home and went to the antique dealers. He lied that they were his own antiques and asked the antique dealers what they planned to use. How much money does it cost to buy?

As a result, when the group of antique dealers saw the stone bar brought by the lazy man, they said that this stone bar was extraordinary. It must be an old object that was at least hundreds of years old. It was a stone tablet. Unfortunately, the stone tablet was broken into several pieces. The words on it were The handwriting has also faded away, and it is only worth one hundred and twenty copper coins.

The lazy man immediately looked surprised when he saw that a smelly stepping stone he dug out in the toilet could be sold for one hundred and twenty copper coins.

But the antique dealer did give him one hundred and twenty copper coins afterwards, and asked the lazy man to continue looking at his house to see if there were any similar old objects, and they would collect as many as they had.

In the next few days, the lazy man would run to the yard where the antique dealers lived temporarily, carrying the scraps of metal, pots, and stone troughs at home. During those days, the lazy man would eat and drink lavishly every day.

When I ran out of money, I just carried a broken stone that had been thrown on the roadside without even looking at it, and ran to the antique dealer. Then continue to eat a lot of fish and meat, not to mention how moisturizing every day is.

When he got rich with spare money, he even thought about finding a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for him, and promised him a lot of benefits.

Neighbors who live in the same village usually don't see each other without raising their heads. Whenever something happens, the old ladies at the head of the village gossip about it, and it will immediately spread to the whole village. What happened in the village? Naturally, the changes in the lazy man's body cannot be hidden from the eyes of his fellow villagers. After all, the fire could not be contained, and the villagers finally found out about the lazy man taking scraps of scrap metal to the antique dealer to exchange for money.

With the mentality of giving it a try, everyone found chamber pots, stone troughs for feeding pigs, and broken guillotines for mowing cattle from home... and went to find antique dealers. As a result, no matter what came to them, the antique dealers accepted them without fail.

In the eyes of antique dealers, ordinary chamber pots turned into antique chamber pots that a great poet had traveled around the world three hundred years ago and accidentally left behind in Sanshui Village.

According to antique dealers, the stone trough used for feeding pigs has turned into a special stone that has the miraculous effect of prolonging life and curing all kinds of diseases.

Even the tattered guillotine used to cut grass for cattle was transformed into an antique guillotine that had been used to execute a corrupt official in the previous dynasty by cutting in half.

As more and more people made money selling scrap metal, the whole village went crazy. The doorstep of the yard where the antique dealer temporarily stayed was almost trampled to pieces.

Even many children in the village can exchange ordinary pebbles from the stream for a lot of candies at antique dealers.

The candy is very sweet, as delicious as glutinous rice.

Children in the village like to eat it most.

However, the good times did not last long. As the greed of the villagers grew, people's hearts gradually became dissatisfied. Later, strange things began to happen in the village... The villagers were infected with a strange disease one after another. For people who eat stuff, their bellies start to get bigger day by day.

And the belly continues to grow day by day.

One month later, my belly was as big as a ball and my abdominal pain felt like cramping.

Not to mention working in the fields, they don't even have the energy to make a fire to cook. There are only a few people in the village who have no close contacts with antique dealers, whose symptoms are milder, and who can still move around.

After these villagers contracted a strange disease, they began to seek medical advice everywhere, but they could not find the real cause until someone told them about a very capable interrogator in the next village.

The interrogator was a high-ranking person. Whenever there was a wedding or happy event in the surrounding villages, they would go to the interrogator and abbot.

Therefore, the village summoned the remaining villagers whose symptoms were mild and could still move to consult the steward.

The questioner was indeed very capable. He could immediately see the root cause of a disease that no one else could find. The disease was caused by the greed of the human heart.

There is an old proverb that says that a snake swallows an elephant when a human heart is not enough.

Perhaps because the villagers were too greedy and blinded by money, they actually sold the artifact hanging at the entrance of the village to the group of antique dealers.

This is the punishment from God brought about by greed.

The town weapon has protected the peace of the whole village for generations. They have worked hard and accumulated great merits. However, the villagers sold the town tool for their own selfish desires. This incident angered God and even God could not stand it, so he gave it to the villagers. Down with punishment.

If you want to survive, you can only find the group of antique dealers to redeem the village artifacts, but how can there be any reason to redeem the things that are sold?

When the villagers found the antique dealers and said they wanted to redeem the treasure.

Only then did the group of antique dealers reveal their true nature.

The antique dealer quoted a figure that was exactly three times the amount of ill-gotten gains they had received from the antique dealer, and they would also add two more artifacts.

As for how these two artifacts came from, where to find them, whether they were stolen, bought or robbed, that is not the antique dealer's business.

When the villagers of Sanshui Village heard the antique dealer's request, they suddenly felt that there was no hope of achieving it. Although they had the character of rural people who like to take advantage of small things, they were not bad in nature. How could they do such a thing to move trouble eastward and steal and rob? He saw bad things happening in other villages, so he went back to beg the troublemaker again.

The questioner was moved by their sincerity and pointed out a clear way to the villagers——

It is said that tonight the purple energy will come from the east, and along the way east, you will encounter a tomb. Tonight, there will be living Bodhisattvas resurrected from the tomb. These living Bodhisattvas can save the lives of the entire village.

They were also asked to wear linen during the funeral. With the help of the strong yin energy on the person during the late night funeral, they could see the living Bodhisattva who had risen from the dead and bring the living Bodhisattva to the village to save people.

…

…

At this time, everyone who was covered in mud and water and in a state of embarrassment understood the cause and effect, and they all explained that they were not living Bodhisattvas.

But an ordinary person who just escaped from a cannibalistic ghost inn.

But no matter how they explained it, these villagers just couldn't kneel down and kept kowtowing, crying and begging the dozen or so people in front of them to save them all.

Some of them are asking for help because their mother-in-law is ill and their newborn babies have no milk and are starving.

The person who can be rescued by Jin An tonight is a person with good intentions.

After listening to the villagers' accounts, they felt pity and sympathy. Moreover, there were no villages or shops nearby. They had no other place to go except temporarily staying overnight in Sanshui Village, so they finally decided to go to Sanshui Village to see if they could Help these poor villagers.

Afterwards, these grateful villagers went to the mountains to find some dead branches and rattan, made a simple support, and took the initiative to lift the 200-pound woman who had been unconscious for the thin man surnamed Huang, and walked towards Sanshui Village. Rushed there.

Jin An was floating in the sky, looking at the team that was gradually retreating under his feet, his eyes thoughtful.

The questioner and the antique dealer were originally a team in cahoots.

This is clearly a situation similar to Immortal Jump, deliberately leading these Sanshui Village villagers to jump in. It is estimated that the final purpose is to use the hands of these villagers to find more suppressive devices for them.

Sometimes living people with strong yang energy can do things better than people like them with strong yin energy.

The suppressing device is specially designed to defeat evil spirits and evil spirits.

But not alive.

As for why you are looking for these ballasts? Perhaps they thought that without the weapon to protect the village, they would be able to sacrifice more lives to practice evil.

It's just that these villagers are not hopeless, they still have the last bit of conscience, and they have not really caused irreversible disaster.

Jin An meditated while following the team towards Sanshui Village.

Neither the Feng Shui master nor the big old man was near the tomb, and finally left behind clues of "one painting and nine revelations". Jin An guessed that it was impossible for the two of them to leave for no reason...a living Bodhisattva who came back from the dead? Unless Mr. Feng Shui and the big old man also met the villagers in front of them?

Just like the tips left by the Feng Shui master, one painting and nine uncoverings repeat the cycle repeatedly, and there is no way to escape from the reincarnation unless all the painting layers are completely broken. These living villagers of Sanshui Village must have been affected by some kind of illusion or ghosts, so they appear over and over again.

Since Mr. Feng Shui has seen through the essence of this place in advance, maybe he is trying to break the situation with the big old man now, trying to break the cycle here, but he doesn't know which level he has reached?

…

Sanshui Village.

As the name suggests, the village is surrounded by three rivers. It is a rich village. The Feng Shui here can not only support a person, but also support the town equipment, and can remove evil and avoid disasters.

This is a large village with an elegantly restored ancestral hall.

It is late at night, but the village is not quiet at all. Torches and lanterns are bright, and many village elders are standing at the entrance of the village waiting anxiously, as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

As the funeral procession successfully welcomed the living Bodhisattva back to the village, the village suddenly became lively. When the villagers excitedly found the counselor who was temporarily staying in the ancestral hall, they found that the counselor was not here.

After searching the whole village, no one could find the questioner, and no one could tell where the questioner was.

For a time, the villagers of Sanshui Village were so anxious that they had to dig three feet into the ground to find the interrogator.

On the other hand, after the "Living Bodhisattva" people from other villages who were welcomed by them were arranged to live in a family, no one came to take care of them for the time being. Everyone in the village who could still move went out to find the counselor.

Only Jin An, who was floating in the sky, frowned thoughtfully. It seemed that Mr. Feng Shui and the old man had indeed been to Sanshui Village. Perhaps the sudden disappearance of the questioner was related to the two of them.

"What's this called?"

"Divide and annihilate?"

"Knowing that I brought help tonight, they can't take advantage of their numerical advantage and plan to lure us away one by one?"

With this thought, Jin An flew to the courtyard where people from other villages lived.

It was still late at night.

In addition to the villagers of Sanshui Village who are still anxiously looking for the suddenly missing interrogator, the filial couple, father and son, mother and daughter, and the thin man surnamed Huang, after a night of fright, fled and ran again, as they were exhausted , the eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.

I fell asleep unconsciously.

Only the guards were still doing their duty and working hard to guard the door. Just by nodding their heads from time to time, it could be seen that these people were also mentally exhausted.

For Jin An, who had a transparent body, the brick courtyard walls in front of him had no effect on him. He passed through the courtyard walls and house walls unimpeded. He searched for rooms one by one, except for the sound of bathing coming from one room. He didn't look for his room, but went around outside. The father and son, and the couple surnamed Huang, were already fast asleep.

Finally, Jin An's spirit drifted into the room of the thin man named Huang.

"Huang Zinian... Huang Zinian... Huang Zinian..."

Jin An shouted to the thin man surnamed Huang who was lying next to his wife's bed, sleeping with his head on his arms.

The candlelight in the room was flickering brightly. Huang Zinian, who was sleeping, seemed to hear someone calling his name in his ears. He wanted to open his eyelids, but they were too heavy. He was so tired, so sleepy, and wanted so much. Just keep sleeping like this.

Don't care about anything.

He slept until dawn.

"Huang Zinian...Huang Zinian...do you still remember the Five Zang Taoist Temple..."

The sound of shouting souls continues.

As soon as I heard the words "Five Zang Taoist Temple", my confused brain suddenly woke up after falling asleep.

Huang Zinian was surprised to see a transparent Taoist priest floating in the room where he and his wife were staying. He was so frightened that he stammered and asked, "You...you...Taoist priest, who are you..."

Jin An, whose soul was floating in the air, said with a warm smile: "Huang Zinian, don't be nervous, I just borrowed the Yin Shen on the Six Ding Liujia Talisman to nourish your soul, allowing you to temporarily see my out-of-body spirit. Can you still Remember what I said to you, 'If after the funeral, you still have thoughts of death and don't know where to go next in life, you can come to me at the Wu Zang Taoist Temple in Fucheng'?"

After the initial shock, Huang Zinian shouted in surprise: "It's you, Mr. Li! I didn't expect that I could see Mr. Li, the man who saved my life, again!"

Maybe it’s because it comes from the heart.

Huang Zinian didn't stutter this time.

Jin An asked: "You are so convinced that it's me so quickly?"

Huang Zinian said excitedly: "Although, although I am just a country man... I am stupid and stupid, I don't know why Mr. Li, you look different now... But Mr. Li, your voice has not changed. It is still the same one that I am familiar with." My benefactor, Mr. Li..."

"...Zi Nian once heard that Mr. Shu said that there are Taoist priests with advanced cultivation in Taoism... who can leave the body and travel thousands of miles in a night... Mr. Li, no, no, Taoist Li, you are... the soul is leaving the body now, right?" "

Jin An admired the clever Huang Zinian, which saved him a lot of time to explain.

"Huang Zinian, if there is a way in front of you that allows you to be a real man tonight, do you want to be a real man for once?" Jin An's face turned solemn.

Huang Zinian: "?"

then.

Jin An told the purpose of his trip.

There is a limit to the distance his soul can leave the body. Although he has the Liuding Liujia Talisman to protect his soul and can swim dozens of miles at night, when he arrived at Sanshui Village, he found that he had reached the limit of his soul.

Now he had two options to choose from.

One is to return to Fucheng, return the soul, and then take the physical body to eradicate the antique dealers and catch them all, but this is obviously unrealistic.

The second option left is to have a living human body nearby so that he can move around freely.

He planned to possess Huang Zinian, and then explore this world of "one painting and nine revelations", find Mr. Yi and Zhong Laosan, and surround and suppress the antique dealer.

As for possession, without the consent of the owner of the physical body, the physical body will reject the external soul, unless Jin An wants to seize Huang Zinian's physical body and make Huang Zinian's soul fly away.

But Jin An would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

Jin'an saved Huang Zinian's life tonight, and he had the gift of reincarnation. Huang Zinian agreed to let Jin'an Yuanshen take possession of him without even thinking about it.

"I, Jin An, never like to owe favors to others. Today, I, Jin An, will give you a great blessing."

"Huang Zinian, after I possess you, you can carefully study and understand the breath of the twelve righteous gods on the Six Ding Liujia Talisman. I will let them nourish your Yin soul and strengthen your Yang fire. How much can you do tonight? The difference between chance and luck all depends on your understanding."

"Come on, let me take you to see the evil demons in this world. As long as you are not afraid of ghosts and gods in your heart, the ghosts and gods will be afraid of you!"

…

At the same time.

Outside the door of Huang Zinian and his wife's room, there was a mother and daughter who had wet hair and hadn't yet dried off. They were holding wooden basins of bath water in their hands and were about to go out to pour the bath water. When they passed by the door of Huang Zinian and his wife's room, they couldn't help but wonder. Take a few more looks.

"Mother, I thought I heard a sound coming from the room just now. Someone was calling Mr. Li?"

"Could it be Mr. Li who saved our lives?"

"Master Li also came to Sanshui Village?"

The girl spoke in a soft voice.

While talking, Huang Zinian's door opened and Huang Zinian walked out of the room. When the mother and daughter saw Huang Zinian, "Huang Zinian" also saw the mother and daughter who had just come out of the shower and had not yet dried their hair.

"Uncle Huang, has Mr. Li also come to Sanshui Village? Were you shouting Mr. Li in the room just now?" The young and energetic girl, whose hair had not been dried yet, couldn't wait to ask.

"Huang Zinian" saluted the mother and daughter in front of him and said, "I've seen Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu. Are you going out late at night to pour shampoo?"

"Miss Yu must have heard wrongly. I didn't see Mr. Li."

"Huang Zinian" continued to smile gently and said: "Mrs. Yu, Miss Yu, Mr. Huang is going out later. I wonder if I can do a favor for you? If my wife wakes up from a coma and can't find me, please help me. Mr. Huang, please tell me that I will be back before dawn."

ah?

oh?

"Okay, okay..."

Looking at the back of Huang Zinian who was striding away, with the girl still holding the warm bath water in her hand, she curiously asked her mother beside her: "Mom, why did I feel that Uncle Huang was so strange just now? I can't explain why..."

Mrs. Yu, who has been here before, saw the change in Huang Zinian's temperament at a glance: "He no longer stutters when he speaks, and he is more confident. Just now, he was looking directly at our mother and daughter when talking, and his conversation was polite and generous."

"It's like a different person..."
