White Bone Monkey King

Perhaps because they saw that their family members were safe, Old Sadiq and Little Sahaf were much more lively during the rest of the trip.

The two were tied to the back of a camel and argued all the way.

The general meaning is that Sahav, the nephew, sold his Atta and his fourth uncle together yesterday. You said that people have so much privacy. You don’t talk about other privacy. You specifically picked this privacy to talk about. Your father and fourth uncle. Sold together, what is this called? This is called traitorous behavior. The desert gods hate traitors the most.

Little Sahafu was straight-minded and argued hard-necked that at that time, only if this privacy was related to his Apa-Ata, could Taoist Jin'an gain Apa-Ata's trust more quickly.

The two argued all the way.

When you are thirsty, you don't forget to lower your head and take a sip from the water bag hanging around your neck.

Later, Ilham was also involved and asked to help them judge who made the most sense.

Ilham, who was sandwiched between the two, used brother Sadiq to calm down the anger, and brother Sahaf said a few words.

So we have the following picture.

Everyone's mind was filled with the bleating sounds of the three sheep...the buzzing one in their heads was like thousands of sheep quarreling in their little heads, which sounded like a big head.

Seeing that the sheep were more energetic than people, everyone was wondering in their hearts, where did Taoist Jin An find such three live precious sheep? It was simply amazing.

However, Sanyang's activity only lasted less than half a day.

As the sky gets brighter and the sun rises higher, I am once again exposed to the sun and become wilted, like frost beating eggplants.

The rest of the camel team wasn't much better.

Except for Jin'an.

In the past few days, Jin An has made some small breakthroughs in the "Secret Tradition of the Five Internal Organs", and he has been practicing the gifting technique along the way.

The next step in the Taoist art of exploring the bag and retrieving objects is the gift art.

This is a pair of complementary methods.

You must first practice Thousand Miles to Explode the Bag to Retrieve Things, and then you can practice the Thousand Miles Gift Technique. Even if you are thousands of miles apart, you can still give gifts to the other party in an instant even if you are thousands of miles away.

Of course.

There is no such powerful figure among the recorded historical figures of Wu Zang Taoist Temple, otherwise it would not have declined to this point, and even the Taoist temple almost closed down.

As for whether the Patriarch is so powerful, it is not something Jin An can guess at will.

However, Jin An's expectations for this gift are still very high.

When he went to the underworld in Changxian County, he saw with his own eyes the powerful methods of Wu Zang Taoist when using the gifting technique. If the gifting technique can be used properly, every stone and wood on the roadside can be used as a magic weapon to control objects and fly.

You can even give the sword directly to the opponent's arms. As your cultivation level increases, the distance between the gift and the skill increases. Killing someone with a sword of ten miles or killing someone with a sword of a hundred miles is not a dream.

If this gift technique is used properly, it can allow people to control objects in the second realm during the day. It is a magical power only available to the strong in the third realm, which is equivalent to cross-realm practice.

So when he was able to practice the gifting technique, Jin An's interest was more novel than the first time he saw the Goulan tiles.

It was already December in the desert at this time.

The weather is getting colder, and the wind blows from time to time even during the day. The wind blowing into the desert comes from the Tianshan Mountain vent and the Kunlun Mountain vent.

However, the weather this year is abnormal. In the past, the season started to turn cold, but now it is still extremely hot.

"Taoist Master Jin'an, thanks to the abnormal weather here, this year's desert winter will not be too cold." Yari said.

Jin An was riding on the back of a camel, bouncing along with the ups and downs of the desert. He looked at Yali curiously: "Was it very cold in the desert in the past? How cold was it?"

Yali recalled with lingering fear: "The winter in the desert is very cold, very cold. The strong wind from the Tianshan vent during the day can make people's hands and feet stiff. No one stayed outside at night, because at that time, no matter how thick the blanket they were wrapped in It's no use, the hot water that has just been boiled freezes immediately when you pour it on the ground."

Jin An nodded when he heard this. It was indeed very cold.

He has learned about some desert terrains, which are divided into temperate deserts and tropical deserts.

The Western Desert outside the Great Wall is a temperate desert. It is a vast desert area formed due to terrain. It is different from the tropical desert formed due to climate. The winter in this temperate desert is very cold.

After hearing the conversation between Jin An and Yari, old Sadiq, who was tied to the back of a camel and had no energy to argue with his nephew, raised his head slightly and continued: "We should be grateful for this cold winter and the weather. The unseasonable heat makes us just feel hot, not too hot or too cold."

After finishing speaking, old Sadiq lowered his head again, feeling weak from the sun.

Old Sadiq's words reminded Jin An.

According to the description of the coffin, the Kingdom of the Immortal God is very dangerous, but they chose to go there in winter this time, which may not necessarily mean that it is really dangerous and unpredictable.

The next few days were getting hotter and hotter on the road, but as December passed day by day, the winter cold current penetrated deep into the desert. The fire and cold in the desert maintained a balance, so it was not difficult to endure.

At night, Jin An's qi and blood pills melted into the water were distributed to people and camels. Therefore, what was a difficult winter night for others was not too difficult for this camel team.

Instead, everyone gradually discovered that since drinking the water, they have become much stronger. However, the female camel in the team kept screaming late at night.

this day.

The camel team finally arrived at the end of the trip.

It is a sand dune in a basin between two mountains.

The short mountain on the left is a short mountain extending from the Kunlun Mountains into the desert. It is a short mountain on the outermost edge of the Kunlun Mountains. The mountain on the right is said to be a mountain. After getting closer, I can see clearly that it is just a lonely remnant of the ancient desert country after it has weathered. Mounds.

These two low mountains are dozens of miles apart. Because the desert has a wide field of vision, you can vaguely see the peaks of the mountains. They are like a low-lying land in front of the gate. Following this low-lying land, you can officially enter the basin deep in the desert.

The place they stood on was the place closest to the ancient country of Guchi according to historical records.

The desert basin is huge.

If you want to find a lost ancient country in the vast desert by relying solely on human power, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like searching for sand in the sea or looking for a needle in the haystack.

Jin'an and the others had been speeding up their journey, but by the time they arrived at their destination, it was already the end of early December.

He stood on the tallest sand dune nearby and looked out over the basin in the distance, only to find that there was nothing but endless desert.

Not to mention seeing the Holy Mountain of Guchi Country, not even a single figure of any other person was seen.

If there is a mountain in the desert, it will definitely be very eye-catching, unless the holy mountain of Guchi Kingdom is not nearby, but in the hinterland of the desert basin, but if that really happens, it will be no less than fishing for an embroidery needle in the sea.

According to the chief of Teshsata Village, the depths of the desert have been uneasy recently, and several groups of people have poured in. If these people are also coming to the Kingdom of the Immortal God, they should be at the last stop near the Guchi Kingdom. That is to say, they are gathering at this place and waiting for the Guchi Kingdom's Holy Mountain to appear in December. Why can't they see even half a person now?

Jin An frowned.

"Taoist Priest Jin'an, didn't the patriarch say that many people have entered the depths of the desert recently? Those people should also be looking for Guchi Country. Why can't we see even one person when we get here?" Old Sadiq asked Jin An's heart was filled with doubts.

"Is it possible that we are late?"

"Have you missed the only time in a year when you can see the Holy Mountain of the Sea?"

Jin An did not answer immediately. He was still deep in thought and thinking about other things.

Seeing Jin An frowning and saying nothing, everyone thought that Jin An was in a bad mood because he missed the time. For a while, the atmosphere in the camel team was silent and dull, and no one spoke.

Time continues to pass, the sky is getting darker, and the golden light of the setting sun shines on the desert. It is like a calm lake with sparkling waves under the setting sun, or like an ancient land where the sea has turned into mulberry fields. It is majestic and majestic.

At this time, Jin An finally spoke for the first time: "Sometimes we don't have to be too pessimistic. We should think optimistically. Maybe it's not that we arrived late and didn't see anyone. It's also possible that others don't have more information than us, and they don't know who they are. I don’t know that the Guchi Kingdom and Huahai Holy Mountain can only be found in December in the desert, so they entered the desert basin in advance to look for the Guchi Kingdom, so we wouldn’t see anyone else.”

After hearing Jin An's words, the others also fell into deep thought.

At this time, Jin An saw that it was getting late above his head, so he ordered to go to the ancient ruins and find a place to stay out of the wind at night.

Wait until daytime tomorrow to explore the area.

The ancient ruins were badly weathered and had long been eaten away by wind and sand until only a few lumps of earth were left. The original shape of the building could no longer be seen.

The cold wind from the Kunlun vent swept all the way down and blew into the desert.

Although Jin'an and the others have specially found a leeward earth wall to camp.

But at night, the cold wind that dropped sharply after the onset of winter made me so cold that I couldn't even warm myself up by the fire.

Outside the tent, there was only the whistling of the cold wind, and no other sound could be heard. The world was so quiet that only the sound of ghosts crying, wolves howling, and the wind could be heard.

Jin An once again took out Qi and Blood Pills to keep everyone warm.

It's too cold tonight, so Jin An specially doubled the amount this time to keep everyone warm.

In the second half of the night, the cold wind coming down from the Kunlun vent intensified, and even the tents were torn apart and shaken violently by the strong winds in the middle of the night. Everyone was worried that the tents would be blown away by the strong winds, so they risked their lives to go out to reinforce the tents and at the same time check to see if the camels were blown away by the wind. scattered.

There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the desert, especially now that it is winter. We have only been out for a while. By the time Ari and the others came back, their tears and noses had been frozen by the cold wind, and they were shivering in the cold wind.

They stayed under the fire for a while before they recovered.

On the contrary, Jin An went out once and came back again, just like a normal person.

On the first night, Jin An and the others slept in the howling cold wind. The next day, after the sun came out and everyone and the camels had eaten, everyone got on the camels and explored the nearby environment in a small group of several people.

In this way, Jin'an and the others stayed for three more days, expanding the search area again and again, but still found nothing. The desert was really too big, and they were as small and inconspicuous as a few grains of sand dropped into the vast sea.

Just as someone really arrived here before them, they had just as little hope of finding those people.

So on the evening of the third day, Jin An gave up this meaningless behavior.

On this day, it was already mid-December, and there were still no clues in the Holy Mountain of Guchi Country. It seemed that they had really missed the time, and maybe they could only wait until December next year to enter the desert again.

…

…

Just when Jin'an's search for Guchi Country was not going well.

night.

Xizhou Prefecture, Huangzishan Village.

Even though it is late at night, the incense is still burning in the temple. The villagers of Huangzishan Village, Jin An and Erlang Zhenjun, are grateful for their kindness, and there is incense curling up every day.

In a daze, Sun Tugen was awakened by a sound.

boom!

The cold wind at night was pulling at the wooden windows and beating on the window frames. He was awakened by this movement just now.

Looking at the window that was still beating in the wind, Sun Tugen was stunned. He remembered clearly that now that the weather was turning cold, he had obviously closed the window and locked it with wooden bolts to sleep.

Did he remember it wrong?

Just close the window and not lock it with wooden bolts?

Sun Tugen, who was feeling sleepy, didn't care about this. He stood up and closed the window, but this action made him startled!

The cold moonlight shines in front of the window. There are a pair of footprints on the ground outside the window, and there are also a pair of palm prints outside the window. Sun Tugen's scalp suddenly goes cold. Someone was lying outside his window just now, and even pried open his window, trying to get in!

Sun Tugen's hands and feet were instantly frightened and he almost screamed.

Just when Sun Tugen's voice was trembling and he wanted to wake up his wife, a piercing scream of fear completely broke the tranquility of the night.

House after house lights were lit, and many villagers did not even bother to put on their clothes. They picked up hoes, rakes, and sickles in the yard and ran out of their homes in the direction of the screams.

But before the villagers could reach it, they heard a sound like water and thunder coming from the village well.

When Sun Tugen followed the numerous villagers to the well water, he saw Mrs. Li, the wife of Zaogui, who fell to the ground in fright. There were also a pole and two wooden barrels used to carry water on the ground.

"What's going on?" Several village elders asked Li anxiously.

Mrs. Li seemed to be scared out of her wits. After being called out by the village elders for a while, she seemed to be finally called back to her senses. Then she started crying, crying heartbreakingly.

In the midst of crying, everyone finally understood what was going on intermittently. The kid from Zaogui's family who was still running around naked wet the bed in the middle of the night. Mrs. Li planned to wash the sheets, and then found the water in the water tank in the yard. It was gone, so I came here with two wooden buckets to get water from the well.

As a result, before reaching the well, I saw an old man wearing a shroud that only dead people would wear standing by the well. He seemed to be looking down at the water in the well and making a gesture to drink water.

In the middle of the night, she saw the scary old man and the shroud again. Ms. Li was frightened and screamed. When she was frightened, she didn't know if it was an illusion. She heard the muffled sound of thunder from the well, and then she lay beside the well and thought. The scary old man drinking water is gone.

After hearing Li's description, several village elders collectively changed their faces and shouted: "Everyone, please go home and see if there is still water in the water tanks at home!"

Huangzishan Village is destined to be unable to calm down tonight. More and more people are complaining that the water in their water tanks is missing.

"It's a dry bone! From Li's description, that dry bone looks a bit like the old Wangtou from the next village who was buried just after the first seven days of his life!" The village elders all looked ugly.

When Sun Tugen heard this, he was so frightened that he jumped several feet high and turned pale. Everyone hurriedly asked what was going on. After hearing Sun Tugen's words, the villagers in Huangzishan Village all looked bad.

"Tugen, you are lucky this time. You were awakened by the sound of the wind hitting the window in the middle of the night. Otherwise, Hangu would have sneaked into your house along the window of your house and drank all the water. He still didn't quench his thirst, so he drank your blood instead!"

The villagers congratulated Sun Tugen one after another.

There is a rumor in the northwest that if a person does not choose the right Feng Shui position when he is buried after death, he will easily become a drought-stricken person and drink up all the water in the surrounding villages, causing drought.

Not to mention the fierce folk customs in the northwest, if such an evil thing happened, the first thing the villagers in Huangzishan Village thought of was not to invite Mr. Feng Shui or Mr. Yin and Yang to come and take a look. Instead, a large group of people picked up the guys and left the village overnight. Go to dig dry bone piles vigorously.

But when they arrived at the place, they saw that the grave of the old man from the village next door had been dug up, and the shroud in the coffin was dead. However, the body was now very miserable. The upper body was blackened by lightning, and the sternum was cracked. , bloody and bloody.

This scene frightened everyone. How come this dry bone was struck to death by lightning in the coffin?

"Could it be that the water talisman of the Supreme Lord Zhang Erlang left in the well by Taoist Jin'an has appeared?

Is Taoist Jin'an helping us kill Han Gu? "The village elders were all mature in years, smoking dry cigarettes in their mouths, and they soon thought about understanding the truth, their eyes were surprised.

Next, Sun Tugen and the others pulled out the harmful bones from the tomb, picked up hoes and shovels, smashed their limbs and heads, and then burned them to ashes. Then, under the leadership of several serious-looking village elders, the villagers He hurried back to the village and offered incense to several statues of gods in the temple to express his gratitude for blessing their village.

…

…

Outside Yangguan.

Deep in the desert.

Teshsata Village.

It was late at night, and except for a few strong men who were keeping watch, everyone else was sleeping deeply.

Since water came out of the dry well again and the villagers no longer have to run around for water, they have had good dreams every night in the past few days.

But in the dark, moist well water, an accident was quietly happening.

A splash of water hit the protruding platform at the bottom of the well, and a cocoon urn floated along the current and was rolled onto the platform by the water splash. The moment the cocoon urn collided with the rock platform, the cocoon urn that seemed to have been around for a long time shattered.

Several pitch-black insects emerged from the broken cocoon and wanted to flap their wings and fly away, but their wings were wet by the underground river and they failed to fly several times.

Under the well, a yellow talisman soaked in the water flashed spiritually.

Suddenly.

A sound of thunder broke the tranquility of the night. Everyone in Teshsata Village was awakened and hurried to the well water to check the situation.

But the well was too deep and the torches couldn't illuminate it. After several efforts, they finally salvaged some fragments of cocoon urns and several creepy corpses of corpse crickets with human faces.

His face was full of surprise and shock.

Under the water that they couldn't see, the spirituality of the command runes on Erlang Zhenjun's water talisman was a little dim, but in the invisible clear void, there seemed to be incense and the will power crossing into the yellow talisman, using the incense and wish power to slowly Replenish his spirituality.

…

…

That night.

Ruins of an ancient desert country.

The cold wind howled outside the tent, and the tent was shaken violently. Suddenly!

Avenue induction!

A hundred virtues!

"!"

Jin An, who was practicing, was startled by this inexplicable sudden appearance of evil virtue.

Then.

A hundred virtues!

A hundred virtues!

A hundred virtues!

…

Jin An: "?"
