Holy Bone

Seeing the Yujing Jinque treasure ship suddenly stop in the middle of the Huangquan River, Zhenguo Temple and Tianshifu followed behind folded paper cranes, attached spiritual thoughts, and flew to inquire.

Yujing Jinque replied quickly, the bow of the boat seemed to hit something in the Huangquan River.

A few paper cranes followed the people from Yujing Jinque, flapped their wings, and flew to the bow of the boat to check the situation together.

At first, the fog was thick and the vision was blurred. As Chi Yuan blew away the mist of the underworld in one breath, he finally saw the river surface clearly. There were many coffins floating at the bend of the river, causing silting. The bow of the boat hit these coffins just now.

Due to the strong impact, some coffins were smashed. These coffins contained corpses. These corpses were all brides in red robes and red headscarves.

Rivers, coffins, and brides are subconsciously associated with living sacrifices.

In some large rivers that are prone to flooding, it is more popular to sacrifice living people to the river god. People always think that this can appease the river god and bring good weather.

For example, Jin An had seen foolish people sacrifice young women to the Dragon King of Yinyi in Wuzhou Mansion last year.

This is a bad habit evolved from the ignorance of the people, but anyone with a bit of conscience will hate this bad habit.

"Where did so many human sacrifices come from? They are so bold. What kind of evil god dares to act as a demon in our Kangding country and kill so many innocent women at once."

Everyone on the treasure ship looked ugly.

It was the first time in their life that they saw so many women sacrificed to the river god at one time, it was so tragic.

Although it is occasionally heard that some places are bewitched by people and live people are thrown into the river as sacrifices, but those are only one person a year, and the sacrifices are usually made before the summer floods. This kind of sacrifice has killed so many people. , it's the first time I've seen it.

Even the Yinyi River Dragon King, the leader of the Teng Kingdom who continues to harm people thousands of years after his death, only sacrifices human beings once a year.

I don't know what kind of evil god it is, but it is more greedy than the thousand-year-old corpse king, the Lord of the Vine Kingdom, marrying so many brides at once.

"The underworld is formed by the obsession of the dead, record the location, and go to the local state government to investigate the details after returning to Yang, and see which evil god dares to take human life so recklessly!" Chi Yuan sneered coldly with an ugly expression.

"It's a bastard. Since we have encountered this matter, we must not just sit idly by and seek justice for these poor and innocent women!" Master Xuan Lei also had a very ugly expression on his face.

Jin An saw with his own eyes how foolish villagers sacrificed women to the Dragon King of Yinyi River. He carefully observed so many coffins floating on the river, and found an unusual detail. Many brides may not necessarily die now..."

"Zhenren Chiyuan, you have been practicing in seclusion all year round and rarely move around among the people. Maybe you are not very clear about some folk cultural customs. I just took a closer look and found that there are several doubts about these brides..."

"Many fingernail scratches can be seen inside the coffin. I am not denying that they died in human sacrifices. First, the color of the coffin is different from old and new. Second, the details of the bride's wedding dress are somewhat different from the current one. These brides may not be from Kangding. The people should be the people of the former dynasty earlier. Today's Kangding country is peaceful and prosperous, so many innocent women were sacrificed to the river god, and too many families were involved. No matter which state capital they are in Can't live, that's why I deduce that these brides are probably not citizens of Kangding Kingdom."

Reminded by Jin An, Master Chi Yuan and the others re-observed carefully, and found that Jin An's analysis was indeed very reasonable.

"Unexpectedly, several of us elders who are more than a few hundred years old together are not as observant as Daoist Jin'an, and I am a little ashamed." Chi Yuanzheng's face showed shame.

Jin An said modestly: "You can't say that. Several real people are in seclusion and practice, and they rarely move around. I just went through more places and learned more about local folk customs when I was looking for the old Taoist priests and the whereabouts of the sword. So I can see A few details differ."

Master Xuanlei: "Good is good, Daoist Jin'an doesn't have to be so humble."

After a few words of modesty, someone asked Jin An if he had any other opinions on these corpses in the river, and Jin An replied after a moment of pondering: "So many corpses are always a hidden danger, and their backgrounds are pitiful. The encounter must also require us, just as Chi Yuanzheng said before, after we return to Yang, we can order the local prefecture to check the county annals of various places to see if there are any relevant records of the previous dynasty in the ancient county annals."

Master Chi Yuan nodded: "Master Jin'an and Master Ben have the same ideas."

"Supreme Taiyiduer Tianzun." With compassion, several people recited a scripture to the brides on the river to show that their petitions had been received.

A miraculous scene happened, and the treasure ship passed the river smoothly without any obstacles.

The underworld is full of obsessions of the dead, full of mystery and weirdness. This is just a small episode. The three treasure ships continue to sail in the mist, heading towards the Mount of Eternity.

In Kangding State, there is a Shenlong Mountain.

To the west of Manzhoufu, there is a cave called Dragon's Cave, where dragons come and go constantly, open in summer and close in winter. The mountains are three thousand feet high, with steep cliffs, forests, velvet, and few people. The highest point of the mountain is called Shenlong Mountain.

Shenlong Mountain also has a little-known name, Shengong Mountain, which is the mountain of the Emperor of Heaven.

The Blessed Mountain they were looking for was in the depths of Shenlong Mountain.

Shenlong Mountain is divided into three areas, large, medium and small. Ancient trees cover the sky, poisonous insects and beasts are rampant. So far, the people of Minzhou Prefecture only dare to move around the outermost small Shenlong Mountain. No one can set foot on the middle Shenlong Mountain and the Great Shenlong Mountain.

The imperial court found that Bulao Mountain was deep in Shenlong Mountain, and this matter had to start with a fairy tale among the people.

According to legend, throughout the dynasties, there were woodcutters and herb collectors who entered Xiaoshenlong Mountain. Suddenly, clouds and fog rolled in the mountain, and smoke billowed out. It was difficult to tell the direction, and then they encountered an immortal chess game.As soon as I entered the fairy chess game, I didn't know how much time had passed. When I suddenly woke up, it was already more than a month ago.According to the descriptions of the mountain people, the immortals they saw in the Immortal Chess Game all looked the same.

There are many such folk stories, so they were recorded in the local county annals and have been passed down from ancient times to the present.

Shenlong Mountain is a strange place. It seems to be blessed by the rules of the ancient avenue. It is full of dangers and cannot enter through the underworld. So after the underworld rushed to the Manzhou Prefecture, they arrived at the small Shenlongshan area of ​​Shenlong Mountain from the underworld.

Before entering Xiaoshenlong Mountain, they secretly read the county annals without alarming the local county magistrate. According to the county annals, the last time a mountain dweller saw a fairy chess game was 30 years ago, which is too long ago.

They had no intention of looking for someone who had seen the Immortal Chess Game 30 years ago, because the team was accompanied by the Celestial Master Mansion.

When rushing in the underworld, the people of Tianshi Mansion were silent all the way, and when they arrived in Yang, it was time for Tianshi Mansion to show their talents. This time, it was Tianshi Mansion who finally confirmed that the gate of Blessing Mountain was in Shenlong Mountain.
