White Bone Monkey King

The stars and the moon are bright.

Although there is no rain all year round in this desert basin, the dry climate here also creates a clean and flawless starry sky in the desert, with a wide field of vision. It seems that even the starry sky here is lower, and you can reach out and touch those eternal stars. .

Jin An and Master Yiyun were lying side by side on the sand, with their arms and pillows quietly looking up at the silver dragon in the sky.

The universe is like the sea, the Milky Way is like a drop in the ocean, what is immortality, what is immortality, what is nine thousand or ten thousand years old, man is not even a grain of sand before the eternal heaven and earth, a solitary peak on the road.

It was already late at night. After Jin An was on duty for the first half of the night, Qi Bo replaced him and took charge of the second half of the night.

He couldn't sleep for a while and saw that Mr. Yiyun was not asleep either, so he came over and looked up at the stars with Mr. Yiyun.

"They say Arc Moon is homesickness. Young Master Yiyun can't sleep, is he homesick?" Jin An still rested his head on his head and looked up at the Milky Way. The sky was like a wash, as if he could pick off the Milky Way in the sky with his tentacles.

The first time Jin An met Mr. Yiyun was around the Qingming Festival. After careful calculation, he had been traveling away from home for at least a year, so it was understandable that he felt homesick.

"This is the first time since I entered the desert that I have looked at the stars so quietly. I can't help but ask myself, what is on the other side of the starry sky? Are there really immortals?" Young Master Yiyun's voice was clear, and she shook her head slightly.

"Tell me, what's on the other side of the starry sky?"

This time she asked Jin An.

Jin An was startled at first, then smiled, and spoke with a eloquent tone that revealed his human pride: "On March 7, it rained on the Shahu Road. The rain gear went first, and everyone in the group was embarrassed, but I didn't realize it. It was sunny now, so I did this on purpose. Words! Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest, why not scream and walk slowly. Bamboo sticks and mango shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A misty rain is left for life! The cold spring breeze blows the drunkenness, and it is slightly cold, but the mountain tops are shining slantingly. Looking back It has always been a desolate place, but when I return, there will be no wind, rain or sunshine!”

This time, Master Yiyun finally turned his head. The cold moonlight shone on Yingqi's face, and his beauty bloomed, as if every hair was shining brightly.

Jin An laughed: "Why fear the future?"

Young Master Yiyun smiled: "I can see that Taoist Master Jin'an has lofty aspirations. Even this starry sky cannot contain you."

Jin An was shocked when he heard this. What did Mr. Yiyun mean by this? Has she already seen something?

Next, Jin An was worried, Jin An didn't speak, and Master Yiyun didn't speak either. The two of them looked at the vast sky with their own thoughts and fell into silence.

The night is dark.

Time passes bit by bit.

suddenly!

A shrill scream.

Breaking the silence of the night.

Um?

Jin An and Mr. Yiyun stood up almost at the same time, and they ran towards Qi Bo in a tacit understanding. When they saw that Qi Bo was safe and sound, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on with Qi Bo? Why did I hear this scream coming from the Desert Ear pit?" Jin An asked.

At this time, the camp was in a mess. Everyone was always vigilant and had not slept deeply. Everyone was awakened by the screams in the night. Everyone was asking the people around them where the screams came from.

Qi Bo looked solemnly at the direction of the sinkhole under the dark night, and frowned: "There were indeed three people who went out together just now, saying they were going to relieve themselves. I'm not sure if they secretly went to the sinkhole."

As soon as Qi Bo finished speaking, the expressions of the three of them changed and they hurriedly ran towards the sinkhole. At this time, other people also reacted and ran towards the sinkhole.

"Who, who is there...are you three, Abbas?" In the dark desert, two suspicious black figures were vaguely visible, wandering on the edge of the sinkhole.

Ayimaimaiti shouted anxiously that the three people who went out to relieve themselves this time were all his people.

But before they could get close, one of the two figures that had been lingering by the sinkhole jumped directly into the abyss sinkhole.

This jump shocked everyone.

"Is Abbas your kid? What evil have you committed? Come back quickly, you don't want your life!" But the man called Abbas turned a deaf ear to the shouts behind him, and he followed the people in front and jumped One jump.

At this time, the mountain guard took action. He threw out a rope to tie the body and pulled the person back from the sinkhole in time. At this time, everyone finally ran close to the sinkhole.

As a result, after seeing this, there was a hiss and a gasp, and even Jin An and Master Yan couldn't help but frown.

The face of this man named Abbas was covered with blood, and his two ears were cut off by a sharp blade. At this time, the earless wound was bleeding profusely, and a scimitar fell on the ground.

Ayimaimaiti hugged the person tightly, looking ugly, and tried to cover Abbas's wound to stop the bleeding, but the blood still couldn't stop flowing from his fingers.

"What is all this going on? Why are you injured like this, Abbas? Who did this? Who did it?"

Although the face of the man named Abbas was covered in blood, Jin An recognized him at a glance.

"It's the man who threw stones into the sinkhole during the day!" Jin An quietly said to Mr. Yiyun next to him.

Mr. Yiyun: "Is there really a god here punishing those who blaspheme Him? At the cost of human life, then this punishment is too severe."

Jin An glanced at the dark sinkhole at night with cold eyes: "Gods don't hide their heads and tail like this, pretending to be gods and ghosts. Anyone who pretends to be gods and ghosts and dare not show up is just a ghost and a snake god!"

With one cold word, he directly determined the matter.

"It must be a punishment from the desert gods. This is the desert gods punishing us. This is the desert gods punishing us for being disrespectful to him!"

Someone in the Ayimaimaiti team was yelling nonsense.

"Aimufef, why are you so crazy! Abbas is crazy, are you going crazy too! There is enough chaos here now, don't make it more chaotic for me!" He lost three people in a row, Ai Maimaiti was already in a bad mood and glared fiercely.

The man named Aimufef was still shouting in fear: "Haven't you seen it? Abbas just threw a stone here during the day and showed disrespect to the gods. At night, he had an accident. ! This is obviously the desert god who is angry and is blaming us!"

"Aimufev, I think you are really crazy. You dare to talk back to adults!" At this time, Ayimaimaiti didn't need to speak. Someone else took the unconscious Aimufev down.

Although Abbas, the earless man, who was held in Ayimaimaiti's arms, was very quiet and did not struggle or scream, his earless wound was still bleeding profusely because he had lost too much blood. His face was ashen.

Someone handed him styptic medicine and a tourniquet, but the wound was too deep and the wound was still bleeding.

"There are more than one blood stains here. The blood of several people is obviously scattered on the sand. Could it be that the other two people also died from going crazy and cutting off their own ears and then jumping from here?" At this time, the mountain guard pointed out He touched a few blood stains on the ground and said with a heavy expression.

Suddenly, two people died inexplicably and one was seriously injured. They looked like they were possessed by evil spirits, but there were so many of them that they didn't even notice. No one looked good.

"I'm afraid only the veterans of Laughing Corpse Manor can answer what happened here, huh?"

Master Yan looked around, then his expression darkened: "Where are those veterans of Laughing Corpse Manor? Why didn't they come with us?"

"Chen Yong, take a few people to capture those veterans. If you encounter resistance or feel something is wrong with those veterans, kill them directly. There must be no more accidents tonight!"

"Here!" The man called Chen Yong immediately led people to arrest those veterans.

"Qi Bo, you should also go and take a look, and take care of the sheep and camels we have tied there." Mr. Yiyun said to Qi Bo.

Qi Bo: "Yes, sir."

But not long after, Qi Bo actually came back with the sheep and camels, and even Chen Yong, who had just left, ran back in panic.

"Sir, it's not good! Those old soldiers have all run away! Before they ran away, we were all fascinated by the people who were left in the shed to guard the camels. Our people were like being possessed by a ghost and beating a wall, and they stayed in place. Keep spinning! Sir, please go over and take a look!" Chen Yongyong ran over panting.

Um!

Even Mr. Yan, who was neither angry nor happy along the way, now had an angry expression on his face: "These old bastards! They are causing trouble for me now. When I catch them back, I will cut off their hands and feet to see if they can do it again next time." How to run!"

I don't know whether it was the words "ghost beating the wall" that stimulated Abbas, or the screams here that stimulated Abbas. Abbas, who had been quiet just now, suddenly screamed and was shocked by the news that the veteran had escaped. Ayimaimaiti's attention was temporarily attracted, but no one was caught. Abbas, the earless man, ran to the edge of the sinkhole and jumped again.

"damn it!"

Ai Maimai watched helplessly as one of his own jumped into the sinkhole. He lay on the edge of the sinkhole and hammered the ground in frustration, breaking the skin of his finger bones.

There were too many surprises this night, one after another.

Jin An raised his eyebrows.

It seems that he burned down the Laughing Corpse Village and forced the veterans to leave the village. These people made more and more flaws along the way, and became increasingly unable to tell lies. Seeing that they could no longer hide it, they started to jump over the wall.

Snap, snap, suddenly, in the thick and silent night, the sound of footsteps sounded. This sound actually came from the bottom of the sinkhole.

"Torches! Hurry!"

Jin An saw that the people around him were slow to react, so he grabbed the torch from the other person's hand and threw it in the direction of the footsteps at the bottom of the sinkhole. As a result, he saw that Abbas, the earless man who jumped before, did not fall to death. He was very lucky. Fortunately, I just happened to fall on those spiral stone stairs and only broke one leg.

At this time, Abbas, the earless man, seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He felt no pain and limped deeper into the sinkhole, shouting incoherently, but those words were all in Western languages.

The torch illumination was limited, and Abbas quickly disappeared deeper into the stone stairs.

"Abbas!"

Seeing that the person was still alive, Ayimaimaiti quickly took people down to the tiankeng to look for the person.

Jin An and Mr. Yiyun looked at each other and followed them down into the Desert Ear sinkhole without hesitation, leaving Qi Bo to stay above and take care of the sheep and camels until they came back.

Master Yan only hesitated for a moment and asked the monk to follow Chen Yong back to deal with those people who were suspected of being possessed by ghosts. He and the mountain guard also followed into the God's Ear that carried the aura of disaster.
