White Bone Monkey King

"Yes, we all pay attention to these details."

"It's true that no one has lived here for several days."

No one who can come here is stupid, and many people have noticed the details analyzed by Jin An.

Before Jin An finished speaking, he observed other details.

He came to the fire with the iron pot, knelt down and frowned and said: "I also noticed that there was meat stewed in this pot, and the dry wood that burned the fire only burned halfway and then went out. It did not burn fully... "

At this time, Young Master Yiyun also squatted down next to Jin An. She stretched out her hand to turn over the extinguished firewood a few times, and her white green fingers were stained with some dust.

"The firewood did go out before it burned out."

She thought for a moment, looked at Jin An and said: "These signs indicate that a sudden change was likely to occur at that time. The sudden change happened very quickly. Even judging from the few traces of resistance at the scene, the sudden change was It ends quickly as it comes..."

"Moreover! All the people and camels are missing here. That's because the sudden change was man-made!"

Jin An took the firewood from Mr. Yiyun's hand and threw it back into the fire pit. He said that this was evidence and that he should not destroy the evidence at the kidnapping scene. Then he patted the dust on his hands and said to everyone: "Those people should be carrying the kidnapped people." The walkers and camels went straight to the next location, 'Hundred Foot'! It seems that the people entering the desert this time are not just us, but also other forces!"

Seeing the firewood in his hand being taken away by Jin An, Master Yiyun rolled his eyes at Jin An, who shrugged and smiled casually.

He didn't say a word.

He already guessed who the other party was.

They should be those northern grassland tribes who are also looking for the Kingdom of the Immortal God and the elixir of immortality for the Great Khan.

"Baizu!" The veterans present all changed their colors.

Um?

"What's wrong with Centipede?"

"Why do those people want to capture those who stayed behind? Do you know some secrets and where Baizu is?"

The atmosphere in the shed suddenly became tense, and everyone looked nervously at the veterans.

Looking at this posture, if those veterans don't give a satisfactory answer immediately, they will become the target of public criticism.

Whether it is Yan Kuan's group or Ayimaimaiti's group, they are all determined to get the news about Baizu. It is no longer up to the veterans to cooperate or not.

The veterans also noticed that the atmosphere in the field had become subtle. They also saw that these distant visitors were determined to win Baizu. They understood that if they hesitated at this time, they would be killed. In order to save their lives, they Tell the truth.

"To be honest, we do know some news about Baizu." Pasha, Xikelti, and Abboud looked at each other with heavy expressions on their faces.

"After our ancestors found the Wu'er clan, they discovered an underground river deep in the God's Ear. They slowly settled down here, thrived, and the population gradually increased, but the ancestors never gave up the idea of ​​going out..."

"The ancestors saw that the sacred mountain of Guchi Kingdom was dangerous and could not get out, so they explored the depths of the desert and followed the route that the Black Rain Kingdom's army had taken, hoping to find the former Black Rain Kingdom's army and find another way out. …”

Xikelti: "My grandfather once told me that it was a very difficult era. Our ancestors spent a lot of money and took many detours in the vast and directionless desert. It took a generation of hard work to find Centipede in the desert. clue……"

When he said this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Those who captured Old Yiding must have seen the corpse of the Baizu Man here! That's why they captured people to lead them!"

What?

Are there centipede corpses here?

Everyone present was shocked, even Jin An was startled.

Yan Kuan looked around and said in a deep voice: "That's not right. We searched the area just now to find someone, but we couldn't find any human-like corpse. Isn't the Centipede Man's corpse here?"

"How could it be here! We will definitely not bury those scary things around us, and we can still sleep peacefully!" When talking about the Centipede Man, the veterans present had very fearful expressions on their faces and shouted loudly, It seemed that he was talking about something that they were very taboo about.

"You have never seen the Baizu people. Of course you can't imagine how terrifying the Baizu people are. Those Baizu people are a group of lunatics. Those lunatics have abnormal psychology. They regard multiple hands and legs as their beauty and worship the Thousand Hands. God! I don’t know why the ancestors brought such scary things back to the God’s Ear. Maybe they wanted to use the magic of the God’s Ear to hear some clues related to the Baizu Ruins!”

What Xikelti said not only failed to scare others, but instead aroused everyone's interest.

"Take us to see the centipede corpse now, right now!"

Master Yan said forcefully with an absolute command.

According to Xikelti, the corpse of the centipede looked evil and scary, so they would definitely not be buried in this shady place. They were also afraid that the corpse of the centipede might suddenly appear as a corpse while they were sleeping at night.

so.

The place where the body of the centipede was buried was buried in a place with sufficient sunlight to dispel the negative energy.

On the other side of the Desert Ear, there was a highland with a solitary coffin. The coffin had no lid, and the body inside was directly exposed to the scorching desert sun.

When everyone came to the coffin out of curiosity, imagining whether the centipede man really had a thousand hands, and when they looked into the coffin, they were stunned.

"Where's the body?"

The wooden coffin, which was cracked by the sun, was empty. Except for the yellow sand blown in by the wind, there were no dead bodies or centipede bodies.

Hearing the sound, the veterans crowded to the coffin and looked at the empty coffin with stunned expressions on their faces: "Where is the Centipede Man's body?"

Someone snorted: "We should be the ones asking you this. If you ask me now, who should I ask?"

The veterans hurriedly defended themselves, saying that the Centipede body had indeed been here all along.

"It seems that the corpse of the centipede has been taken away by the captor forces." Lord Yan frowned.

"Why is the other party bringing a dead body with them on their way?"

"Could it be that some of them know how to drive away corpses and want to use them to ask for directions?"

Mr. Yan, who followed the prince of the capital, was indeed well-informed. In addition to wars and political affairs, he even knew the ways of traveling through the underworld and eating underworld food, such as those who drove corpses in the circle of strange people and strangers, and borrowed corpses to ask for directions.

Ai Maimaiti said impatiently: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's leave quickly. We should catch up with those people now and bring back the centipede man's body. The centipede man's body can only be ours!"

Yan Kuan glanced at Ayimaimaiti: "Now we don't even know where the other party came from, how many people there are, and all the clues about the other party. After catching up with those people, are you going to fight with them?"

"But……"

"But what, we rashly engage in a fight with each other, killing you to death, just to grab a Centipede corpse that is of no use at the moment?"

Ayimaimaiti continued anxiously: "Just as Taoist Master Jin'an said, they are already four or five days ahead of us. If we continue to procrastinate like this, maybe those people will have found the Kingdom of the Immortal God!"

"Don't you Han people have a saying called 'eat meat and drink soup'? I'm afraid that by then we won't even be able to drink soup, let alone meat!"

"I think Mr. Yan is right about one thing. You can't be impatient about this matter, and you have to think about it in the long run." Yan Kuan looked at Jin An who was speaking in surprise, with surprise in his eyes. The two parties were mortal enemies, but he didn't expect that Jin An would turn up at this moment. Take the initiative to stand up and speak for him.

Jin An didn't seem to notice Yan Kuan's surprised look as he muttered: "The Kingdom of the Immortal God is not that easy to find. No one has come here for thousands of years. The road ahead must be filled with many dangers. Now there are people who can help to level it all for free." It’s dangerous, and there’s nothing wrong with us oriole picking it up from behind.”

"Now the opponent is in the light and we are in the dark. This is our greatest advantage."

Speaking of this, he chuckled and shrugged nonchalantly: "What if the other party arrives at Baizu a few days earlier than us? When they circle around to find clues about the Kingdom of the Undead, we have enough time to catch up with them."

No one present said anything about rescuing the kidnapped veterans.

Ah.

None of them are fools. As early as in Laughing Corpse Manor, it was obvious that none of these veterans were good-tempered, and they hid many things from them along the way.

Since I don’t have a good impression.

Naturally, he would not be in a hurry to save people.

This is not to save others, but to rush to reincarnate to save the enemy.

Jin An's opinions represented the opinions of Master Yiyun and Qi Bo, and neither of them raised any objections.

Yan Kuan: "Yes, this time I stand with Taoist Priest Jin'an."

The three parties have initially reached a consensus, which can be regarded as a temporary alliance to jointly fight against the mysterious and unknown foreign enemy.

The veterans looked gloomy: "Whether you help us or not, Old Yiding and the others were kidnapped, and we must rescue them!"

"Thirteen of us brothers have grown up together and have been in love for decades. We will never see them in danger and do nothing to save them!"

After those veterans finished speaking, they wanted to leave on the spot to save others.

Seeing that the veterans were about to leave, Yan Kuan said with a false smile: "It's not that we don't want to save people, but it's not early now. By the time we get enough food, clothing, supplies and water, it will be almost dark by then. Instead of rushing through the night, let’s recharge our batteries overnight and have a good sleep. After recuperating our energy, we’ll hit the road again early tomorrow morning to chase people.”

"We must also follow a rescue plan when rescuing people. We cannot mess up our own situation first. If we mess up ourselves first, let alone save people by then, we may not be able to save people because we don't have enough water or food first. , died of thirst and freezing in the desert."

Yan Kuan continued to comfort him: "Since the other party chose to kidnap the person instead of killing him immediately, it means that the kidnapped person is not in danger for the time being. If these old gentlemen can trust me, just listen to me, Mr. Yan, and rest today." One night, wait until tomorrow and then rush to rescue people."

Without a wink from him, the group of people under his command had already consciously surrounded them, blocking the way of the veterans and preventing them from leaving.

Since leaving Laughing Corpse Manor, there are some things that cannot be decided by these veterans.

Jin An was not interested in these, he was more interested in the Desert Ear Tiankeng. He left the veterans and Yan Kuan who were noisy and blushing, and took Mr. Yiyun to explore the Desert Ear Tiankeng. .

Chibber was left to look after the goats, camels, and supplies.

Lest anyone do anything with the water they drink and the dried meat they eat.

"Taoist Master Jin'an, what do you think of this kidnapping incident?" Mr. Yiyun frowned lightly as he walked on the way to the ear canal pothole.

Jin An chuckled: "It just makes them dog eat dog."

Next, he expressed all his suspicions that the people from the northern grassland tribe were responsible for this.

This Ear of the Desert is not a sandy soil structure. The main body is made of shale. The closer you get to the ear canal pit, the harder shale rocks like layers of waves can be vaguely seen under the sand under your feet.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological suggestion, but these shale rocks appear in this magical land. They look like pieces of human ears, with an indescribable weirdness.

Under the blazing sunshine, the two walked around the Ear Hollow and finally found the way down.

It was a spiral stone staircase polished on layers of stacked shale rocks, leading all the way to the depths of the bottomless abyss.

There are no guardrails on the spiral stone staircase road, and the road is a bit steep. If you don't pay attention to your feet, you may step on it and fall into the sinkhole and die.

Snap.

Snap.

Walking on the empty spiral stone staircase, there is a crisp echo, empty and distant.

These spiral stone stairs should have been built by the Wuer clan. The stone stairs are not only steep and have no guardrails, but they are also very narrow. Two people cannot walk side by side. Only one person can walk at a time.

"Taoist Master Jin An, I have never spent any time alone, and now there are finally no outsiders here. What happened to those three people?"

Amidst the clear echo of footsteps, the two of them descended deeper and deeper. On the narrow stone staircase, Jin An was in front of him and Young Master Yiyun was a few steps behind. She stared at the back of Wu Zang Taoist robe who was walking in front attentively, and spoke in a clear and quiet voice.

The two of them had a tacit understanding for a long time. Jin An knew who the three people Mr. Yiyun was referring to without having to say it explicitly. He smiled in a relaxed tone and said: "One of them is called Sadiq and the other is Sahaf. They are uncles and nephews. There is also an old king of Yueqiang Kingdom named Ilham."

"They are all guilty people who want to wash away their sins. This time they went into the desert. Since they took the initiative to ask for their sins and meritorious service, it was also my request from them. Without them on the way into the desert, I don't know if I would have been able to do so. Successfully made it this far.”

Speaking of these three people, Jin An couldn't help but laugh out loud: "The uncle and nephew did talk a little too much and said a lot of things that were inappropriate for the occasion, but they did have a lot more fun in this boring desert. Mr. Yiyun is broad-minded, don’t argue with them.”

"!"

When he heard that one of the camels was actually a king, even Master Yiyun couldn't help but open his mouth slightly in surprise.

Then he rolled his eyes at Jin An: "Taoist Master Jin An, you have said so, how can I answer, otherwise I will appear to be a petty, unreasonable little woman."

Huh!

"Master Yiyun, aren't you a boy?" Jin An turned his head and looked shocked.

Mr. Yiyun changed his face when he said it, and immediately covered his face with frost: "Try saying one more word!"

The two of them continued walking down the stone stairs. After descending a few hundred meters, the sun could no longer shine through their heads. The two of them lit the torches they had prepared and continued to explore.

After quietly walking a few hundred meters, Master Yiyun's voice came from behind: "You haven't said how you turned them into camels?"

But Jin An concentrated on walking in front and did not answer.

"?"

"Why don't you speak?"

Jin An turned around in confusion: "Isn't it Mr. Yiyun who didn't let me speak?"

Young Master Yiyun was so angry that Jin An was suffocating. She wanted to reach out and hit someone. Jin An was angry with her all the way. She bit her lip, stared at Jin An's back and said through gritted teeth: "You! Now! Here! But!" So! Say it!”

"I wonder if Mr. Yiyun knows the art of making animals?"

Therefore, Jin'an obtained the animal-making skill in the tomb of the dojo, and then told the detailed life experiences of old Sadiq, young Sahab, and Ilham one by one.

As they walked and talked, the two of them went deeper and deeper, and the surroundings were dark and they couldn't see clearly.
