White Bone Monkey King

There are green will-o'-the-wisps in the black forest.

Over the past few decades, many people have died in this forest one after another.

Those green will-o'-the-wisps are exactly the green phosphorus fire on the corpses exposed in the wilderness.

The black coffin was right next to Jin An and the old Taoist priest. The forest was dense and tall, and the tree crowns were lush. Following the mottled moonlight falling on the ground, five mummies could be vaguely seen lying beside the black coffin.

Five people died from blood and food drying up.

Although their bodies changed greatly after becoming mummified, Jin An and the old Taoist priest could still recognize them at a glance through their facial features and clothes. These five people were the missing escort masters mentioned by Monk Pu Zhi.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest quickly checked all five people back and forth.

fine.

There were no corpses in government uniforms.

Feng Baotou and the other two government officials were not among the corpses.

Next, Jin An and the old Taoist priest, while vigilantly guarding the strange corpse of the old man with a rat face, held torches and searched for the missing Feng Baotou and others in the woods.

This torch was found next to the corpses of the assassins.

Although the land has changed, the former Shenjiapu earthen walls and houses have collapsed and disappeared, and the former village was obscured by the black forest that broke out of the ground. However, under the lighting of torches, some fragments of foundation stones can still be seen on the ground from time to time. Traces, rectangular lines drawn on the ground.

The two didn't search for long. Amidst the surprised shouts of the old Taoist priest, they finally found the missing people this time.

Feng Baotou, Pu Zhimonk, Sun Xing, and Zhong Gaoyong, all four of them were seriously injured and passed out in a thorn bush.

And among the thorns, there was a wooden cabinet with two missing doors.

"Little brother, it seems that this cabinet is the body of the underworld weapon. Feng Captou and the others were seriously injured and passed out next to the underworld weapon. It is obvious that this is because they were all sneak-attacked and comatose by the evil spirits in the underworld weapon."

"Fortunately, my little brother and I arrived in time."

"If they had been a few steps later, it is very likely that Feng Captou and the others would have followed in the footsteps of those shady escort masters."

The old Taoist priest checked the breaths of several people one by one. They were all still warm. Fortunately, although everyone was seriously injured, they were all still alive.

Although Taoist priests and monks have been enemies since ancient times, in the face of life and death, right and wrong, the old Taoist priest temporarily put aside his personal prejudices and bandaged monk Pu Zhi's wounds and applied gold sore medicine.

It's just that when applying the medicine, the technique is a bit harsh.

It hurts a little.

But that's about it.

When Jin An and the old Taoist priest carried out everyone and found other government officials to join together, it was already dawn after all this tossing.

daytime.

After Jin'an used the Qi from the Immortal Temple of the Five Internal Organs one by one to adjust their physical injuries, Feng Baotou, who was seriously injured, finally woke up and turned around one by one.

Only then did Jin An know what had happened to Feng Captou and the others.

It turned out that Monk Pu Zhi did not catch up with Feng Captou after giving himself seven injuries.

But Monk Pu Zhi and Feng Baotou both experienced the same experiences as Jin An and the old Taoist priest.

They all saw "cats hanging on trees and dogs drifting with the water";

And was deliberately led to the back village of Shenjiabao, the only open door, and then entered Shenjiabao;

There is also no one in Shenjiabao;

Also encountered strange and strange movements;

Monk Pu Zhi was slightly stronger than Feng Captou. Feng Captou was seriously injured by a sneak attack by the scorched corpse not long after. Monk Pu Zhi, as an escort master, avoided the sneak attack of the scorched corpse and chased him to the big city. In Zhuangzi, he experienced the ghost in the closet lying on his back, unable to move his body, and finally ended up in a coma with severe injuries like Feng Baotou.

As for the two young government officials, Sun Xing and Zhong Gaoyong, they had already shed tears of gratitude to Jin An and the old Taoist priest for their life-saving grace. As soon as they returned home, they immediately set up immortality tablets at home and burned incense every day to pray for peace.

Jin An didn't take it seriously.

But the old Taoist priest was so happy that he said no, his face almost turned into an old chrysanthemum with a smile.

"Feng Captou, I want to burn down this forest. This forest has grown due to evil spirits. It blocks the sky and the sun all the year round. The yin is strong and the yang is declining. I have found that many dead people in the forest have appeared. It shows signs of not decaying even after death. I am afraid that it was nourished by the evil atmosphere in the forest, and there are signs of corpse rising."

"After all, we can't keep this piece of black forest, so we simply burn it to uproot the yin energy growing underground, so that other evil spirits will not breed in the future and continue to harm people. Innocent passers-by stray into the black forest and lose their lives."

The old Taoist priest had a serious expression on his face and suggested to Feng Captou.

This matter still had to be approved by Feng Baotou before other government officials could help him burn the forest.

Feng Baotou, who already had a stab wound on his chest and a bandage on his chest, was now in a state of embarrassment and his injuries were even more serious. After listening to the old Taoist priest's suggestion, he didn't even think about it. He empathized and immediately agreed. Got this.

Under Feng Baotou's order, other government officials who were not injured began to cooperate with the old Taoist priest to burn the forest.

Because the injuries on the first few of Feng's men were serious and they were not suitable for the bumpy journey, they rested for a day until the next day before the group got back on the road back to Chang County.

only.

Facing the morning glow, looking at the heavy cabinet tied to the horseback, the old Taoist priest planned to take all the cabinets that were responsible for the crime to Changxian County. Feng Baotou's eyebrow muscles were beating wildly with lingering fear.

"What is this, Daozhang Chen?"

The old Taoist priest sighed: "Don't worry, Capt. Feng, this underworld weapon sufferer has been beaten to death by his little brother. He can't make trouble anymore and won't come out to cause trouble again."

"Speaking of which, the evil spirits of these underworld weapons are also victims of suffering. They were tortured by heretics during their lives, died young, and were unable to enter reincarnation after death and be reincarnated as human beings. Therefore, I want to take it back to Chang County and replace it. He is so saved and hopes to have another chance to be reincarnated."

"Although the suffering master has been beaten to death by the little brother, there is still a trace of evil obsession left on the underworld weapon. If I don't save you today, I will have no choice but to burn this cabinet on fire to prevent this obsession from happening in the future. Resurrection, but if you really do this, I can't bear it."

"It's already very hard to be alive in this world. There's no need to be able to escape even after death. After death, you still have to suffer the same pain in the world."

Looking at the old Taoist priest, everyone was in awe.

Including Jin'an.

"Monk Pu Zhi, what are your plans next?" Feng Captou asked Monk Pu Zhi on the side.

Monk Pu Zhi suffered another Seven-Injury Fist and was seriously injured by Yin Zhao. He suffered a serious loss of energy and blood. His complexion was a little sallow and his cheeks looked a little thin. He no longer had the rough and burly figure with a fat head and big ears.

"Monk, I plan to follow Feng Captou and you to go to Chang County for treatment first. Then I will write a letter to the other bodyguards and come to Chang County to pick up the bodies of the bodyguards and the others and take them back to my relatives at home so that the fallen leaves can return to their roots."

Feng Captou was overjoyed when he heard this: "To be honest, Chang County is at the right time to employ people, and now an evil corpse has been lost. I don't know if this evil corpse has escaped into Chang County and harmed innocent people. During this special period, it would be best if Monk Pu Zhi could stay in Chang County."

Jin An understood the meaning of Feng Baotou's words. Feng Baotou was recruiting talented people for Magistrate Zhang and retaining strange people.

It's just the traitorous escort.

It is indeed worthwhile for Chang County to spend a lot of money to retain talents.
