Holy Bone

Chapter 1530: A sheep, a dog and an old Taoist priest.

Gollum—

Gollum—

The wheels of the chariot crushed the stones on the roadside, and the Yujing Jinque carriage galloped along the winding mountain road towards the capital.

On the way, everyone also roughly learned about the experiences of Jin An and Master Qing Xi in the small underworld. When they heard that Master Qing Xi had been in a coma until now, their faces showed worry.

Hearing that Master Qingxi's condition and vital signs were stabilized later, we were collectively relieved.

In a short period of time, my mood went up and down twice.

"It seems that this time the shackles of the world are broken, not only Uncle Lin's cultivation level has broken through, but Master Chi Yuan's cultivation level has also broken through to the fourth realm. Yujing Golden Tower has added another powerful Shinto man." Jin An took another look at Master Chi Yuan at this time.

Chi Yuanzhen and others in the carriage were slightly stunned, and then showed an even more surprised expression than Jin An.

Master Chi Yuan said happily: "Taoist Jin'an can see through the real details of this real person. It seems that there are still many details that have not been revealed during the few years that Taoist Jin'an has been trapped. Taoist Jin'an's cultivation has also broken through to the fourth realm!" "

Jin An clasped his hands in his fists and said: "Master Chi Yuan has given me too much praise and I can't bear it. I have indeed made a small breakthrough, but there is still a certain gap between me and the fourth realm."

Xuan Lei, the real person, had the loudest voice and said in surprise: "I remember that when Taoist Priest Jin An entered the Taoist Yellow Courtyard, he was already in the Immortal Queen Realm, a martial artist. He had a breakthrough in cultivation, but it was not the fourth realm, that was the pseudo-fourth realm. !”

Jin An smiled and said nothing, which was a kind of acquiescence.

Everyone in the carriage held their breath for a moment, and then congratulated Jin An one after another.

Master Xuan Lei let out a long sigh: "The first time I met Taoist Jin'an was in Jiangzhou Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River."

"At that time, Taoist Master Jin'an was still a new martial artist, while I was already in the middle stage of the Three Realms, where Yuan Shen had been traveling for many years."

"In just half a year, Taoist Master Jin'an has already pushed the waves ahead. The master is better than the master. His realm has broken through to the pseudo-fourth realm, and there is only half a step away from the fourth realm. And I am still polishing in the late stage of the third realm, and I am not so good. Breakthrough quickly.”

Master Xuan Lei is old enough to be Jin An's grandfather, but now he is being overtaken by a junior in his twenties. It is normal to have a lot of emotions in his heart.

"It seems that I did the right thing by killing the Peacock Buddha Mother to teach Taoist Priest Jin'an." Chi Yuanzhen suddenly changed the topic.

This time, Jin An was stunned: "The Peacock Buddha Mother is dead?"

Chi Yuan's face darkened: "It's not too late."

Master Xuan Lei on the side told the details of what happened.

The shackles of the Yang Realm had just been broken, and the strongest members of the pseudo-fourth realm collectively ushered in a wave of breakthroughs. When something unexpected happened, they found a place nearby to retreat and break through.

In order to ensure the safety of the retreat and to guard against being attacked at critical moments, mainly to be wary of foreigners such as the Tianzhu and Rakshasa people who were traveling with us, the retreat place chosen was very secluded. The mountain was hollowed out and opened deep underground.

What happened next is not difficult to guess.

When they came out of seclusion, they found themselves in the underground palace. The Taoist Yellow Courtyard outside had undergone earth-shaking changes. The Yellow Springs River turned into the Gobi Desert, the mountains turned into sand dunes, and the underworld turned into a polar world.

If they were not close to the passage to the underworld and had no connection with the elders of Yujing Golden Tower who were staying near the passage, they would not have been able to find the passage so smoothly.

After the chaos of the initial sneak attack on the Yangjian Passage, as many forces reacted, the situation was quickly stabilized, and the Yangjian and Netherworld Passage was re-established.

It was only when everyone returned to the earthly world that they discovered that Jin An and Qing Xi had not returned. They waited and waited for the two of them.

Later, a big event happened and everyone was recalled to the capital.

Due to the break of the Four Symbols Bureau of Duantianjiedi, the mountain god stirred up the mysterious clouds in the sky and the earth, and the world was in turmoil. The gates of ghosts were opened everywhere. It was not uncommon for evil soldiers to take advantage of the situation. Memorials of murder cases from various places were sent to Yujing Jin like flying snow. Que, Zhenguo Temple, Tianshi Mansion, they were recalled to the capital to participate in the war to slay demons and re-right the world.

After a month or two of slaying the demons, with the world finally settled, everyone returned to the capital. When they learned that Jin'an and Qingxi had not returned to the world of heaven, Chiyuan, who was concerned and confused, wanted to kill the Peacock Buddha Mother to prove Jin'an's path. , take the peacock Buddha mother to sacrifice to heaven, and pray for Jin'an's safety.

However, Master Chi Yuan passed through the entrance of Wu Zang Taoist Temple three times, but failed to kill the Peacock Buddha Mother to help Jin An attain the Taoism.

Because the world is in chaos, the people are eager to find spiritual beliefs. However, Jin'an, which has a large amount of incense among the people, is not in the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. The statue of Qianyan Daojun, the god of seeking children, who also has a large amount of incense among the people, is not in the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. The incense believers in the Wu Zang Tao Temple Finally, they worshiped the Peacock Buddha Mother, who was compared to the palace fairy by scholars and scholars, and prayed for good weather and to ward off evil spirits.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars have always been superior to others. They were sought after by the scholars in the capital and descended to the earth as fairies. The common people also followed the trend and worshiped the Peacock Buddha Mother.

Although Master Chi Yuan is already in the fourth realm, he cannot go against the trend of the world and act recklessly, so he always returns empty-handed after passing through the gate of Wu Zang Taoist Temple three times.

Hearing that the Peacock Buddha Mother had such a tortuous experience, Jin An couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Later, Jin An asked about the whereabouts of Taoist Zhanmu and Taoist Qingfeng. Why didn't he see these two seniors?

Master Chi Yuan, Master Xuan Lei, and Uncle Lin looked at each other and then told a shocking news.

Uncle Lin looked solemn: "Let me tell you this. At that time, you were all still in the Taoist Yellow Courtyard and you hadn't come out yet."

"This time the break of the Four Symbols Bureau of Duotian Jedi has not only affected the cultivation world, but also caused a big shock in the secular court."

"The imperial court planned to hold an ancestor worship ceremony to pray for the heaven and the people before this natural and man-made disaster, praying for God's good weather and peace for the country and the people. However, the ancestor worship ceremony cannot be without the national master. Before the body of the original national master was found, Emperor Kang Zhao suddenly issued an edict , ordered the new Imperial Master to take office immediately and have full authority to preside over the ancestor worship ceremony. "

Jin An raised his eyebrows and asked who the new Imperial Master was?

Uncle Lin continued to say solemnly: "This person calls himself Immortal. His attainments in Fengshui Divination and Qimen Dunjia are unfathomable. He is proficient in many ancient scriptures that have been lost for a long time. He is even the only three elders of the Eight Views Sect in the Tianshi Mansion. They all regard him as a distinguished guest in the Tianshi Mansion and entrust him to worship the elders under the name of the Tianshi Mansion."

“And on the day when the new Imperial Master Tian became Imperial Imperial Guard, the remnants of Burao Mountain’s livestock-making old man and the headless monk accepted the new Imperial Advisor’s recruitment, and presented a detailed map of Burao Mountain and a list of all treasure places as certificates of submission. "

"Several master uncles, together with Tianshi Mansion and Zhenguo Temple, went to Bulao Mountain with the new national master to explore the undiscovered secrets of Bulao Mountain."

When he heard that the old man who made livestock and the headless monk took the initiative to surrender to Kang Dingguo, Jin An was obviously startled, and then his face darkened.

"I have dealt with these two Shouyuan Demons. They are both brutal by nature and kill people without blinking an eye. The old man who makes animals takes pleasure in artificial animals, and the headless monk is good at deceiving people. They are not kind-hearted people."

"Why did these two people surrender to the Kangding imperial court for no reason? This newly appointed national advisor is not an easy person."

Jin An still didn't say a word in his heart. It was a troubled time, and monsters appeared frequently. When things go wrong, there must be monsters...

Gulu gulu——

The axle pressed against the stones on the roadside and jumped from time to time. The carriage was going up the mountain road.

Uncle Lin raised his hand to set up a barrier, to be careful of the ears next door, and then solemnly said: "Several uncles and Taoist Master Jin'an all have the same concerns, so they plan to risk going deep into the tiger's den to see what happens to the old man who made livestock and the headless monk. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?”

"I also want to indirectly test what the new national master's methods are. He was able to convince Emperor Kang Zhao and the remnants of Bulao Mountain successively, and also to test the new national master's path and where he came from."

Jin'an frowned and pondered for a while, then asked again: "How will the court discuss the ancestor worship ceremony?" "Ministers from various ministries wrote letters one after another, praising Emperor Kang Zhao for his hard work in governance and strong national strength. This time he used troops like a god, driving away tigers and devouring wolves, and destroyed the country. The Steppe Khanate accomplished the great feat that several dynasties in history had failed to accomplish, established the prestige of the Han people, and protected the country's frontiers for thousands of years of peace. This achievement was the first of its kind in history and has been recorded in the legends of history. Every day, Emperor Kang Zhao was implored to hold sacrifices as soon as possible. In the Grand Ceremony of the Ancestors, I comfort my ancestors and ancestors that they have spirits in heaven and continue to protect the country and peace for generations to come.”

"Today is the time when the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs has written a letter to urge us to hold an ancestor worship ceremony to tell the world about the power of Kang Ding and the great talents and strategies of Emperor Kang Zhao."

"Tomorrow, the Minister of Rites will write a letter to request that the ancestor worship ceremony be held..."

"The day after tomorrow, the imperial censor of the Yushi Mansion wrote a letter requesting to hold an ancestor worship ceremony..."

……

Jin An: "How did Emperor Kang Zhao express his position?"

Uncle Lin: "They all returned the memorials on the grounds that their merits were too low to enter the ancestral temple."

Jin An sneered.

He said he didn't want to be greedy for merit, but in actual actions, the whereabouts of the old Imperial Master's body were still unknown, and he was already eager to consecrate the new Imperial Master and take office.

It seems that Emperor Kang Zhao was anxious to get himself a golden statue in the royal ancestral temple and write down his great achievements in the genealogy.

"After hearing what you said, Uncle Lin, I kind of want to meet this new national master for a while."

Jin An: "Did the Great Elder of the Dashi Kingdom leave the remains of the former Imperial Master before he left?"

Uncle Lin nodded: "The Great Elder, in the name of the Five Zang Taoist Temple, has handed over the remains of the old Imperial Master to his family for burial."

Jin An nodded: "Dying in peace, this can be considered a good death."

The matter of the new Imperial Master was revealed for the time being, and Jin An asked about the ruins of Dongtian Paradise.

Uncle Lin withdrew the barrier and left it to Master Chi Yuan to answer this time: "This Cave Heaven Paradise seems to contain the secret of the Yang God. There are fragments of fairy jade scattered inside. The ancient laws of heaven are condensed in these fairy jade fragments. The earliest explorers of Cave Heaven Paradise Everyone, everyone gets the method to break through the fourth realm from the fairy jade fragments."

"But this kind of fairy jade fragments are extremely rare, and the farther you go, the harder it is to find them. It has been more than a month since someone found the fairy jade fragments last time."

"But it still attracts forces from all over the world to gather in the capital, and everyone flocks to it, eager to reach the sky and become a strong man in the fourth realm."

When Master Chi Yuan saw Jin An looking at him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Taoist Master Jin An, don't look at me. When we came out, the fairy jade fragments had already been divided up, and there were less than ten fairy jade fragments in total."

"However, in addition to the fairy jade fragments, there are also some fragments of heavenly materials and earthly treasures scattered in the ruins of Dongtian Paradise, attracting people from all over the world to flock here."

When he heard the fragments of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Jin An thought of the stone pole whisk magic weapon he picked up in the Yin Tomb Dojo.

When he took out this magic weapon, it aroused the admiration and wonder of Chi Yuan Zhenren and several people, and finally passed it back to Jin An's hands.

"Taoist Master Jin An, keep this treasure. If you get this rare treasure, maybe you can go further when the tunnel of the Cave Heaven Paradise ruins opens next time. If you are lucky enough to get the fairy jade fragments, you will have a chance to achieve the fourth realm." Master Chi Yuan said solemnly.

Along the way, several people talked about the underworld and the earthly world, shared information with each other, and Jin An learned more about the earthly world.

For example, the shackles of the world have just been broken, the laws of heaven and earth have not yet been completely completed, and the ruins of the Cave Heaven Paradise are sometimes opened and sometimes closed, and are not yet stable. Jin An has been trapped in the underworld without realizing anything. Many people in the underworld want to enter but can't.

……

……

While we were talking, time passed quickly, and the Yujing Golden Horse Carriage had left the mountains and entered the suburbs of Beijing.

After leaving the mountains, the number of villages we saw along the way began to increase. After five years, the prosperity of the world has returned to us.

Jin An's expression was dazed for a moment, and he sighed as he was reincarnated as a human being. The world of the underworld is still lively and good.

Suddenly, the carriage was blocked by a mourning procession from a nearby village, and the carriage stopped to give way.

Jin An opened the curtains and saw that the mourning procession was carrying a black coffin into the mountain for burial. There was also a country goddess in the mourning procession who was spreading incense and ashes to perform rituals.

Those who died violently were buried in black coffins.

And there is also the practice of country goddesses.

It seems that the person in the coffin died a little unevenly.

"It's okay here in the capital. There wasn't much turmoil and it was quickly calmed down. And thanks to the double sun phenomenon in the Cave Heaven Paradise, the yang is rising and the yin is declining, and the evil spirits are not as rampant as in other places." Lin Uncle said.

Jin An nodded and remained silent.

……

Beijing.

Jin'an was attracted by the city wall of the capital that was being renovated. A large section of the capital's city wall collapsed. The new blue bricks and the surrounding blue bricks that had accumulated over time formed a clear outline, with a sense of incongruity and abruptness.

Setting up scaffolding, building pulleys, mixing lime, transporting wood... Everyone is busy performing their duties, striving to complete the repair of the city wall as soon as possible.

Seemingly seeing the surprise in Jin An's eyes, Xuan Lei, the loudest person, already explained: "The great wizards of the Prairie Khanate, seeing that they failed to ambush the masters of Yujing Golden Tower and Tianshi Mansion, they wanted to take advantage of the break. When the Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth were broken, the chaotic situation entered the capital and disturbed the foundation of the country. These are the traces of that day of fighting. "

"It's a pity that those great wizards have entered the fourth realm and are not so easy to kill. They chased them all the way out of Kangding Kingdom and finally disappeared deep in the vast prairie."

Looking at the city wall that was still being repaired, Jin An's eyes showed a hint of contemplation and confusion.

It seems that Emperor Kang Zhao had another reason for delaying the ancestor worship ceremony. He probably wanted to wait until the city wall was repaired before he could have the dignity to enter the ancestral temple to meet the ancestors of the royal family...

Jin An, who was looking at the city wall and thinking, suddenly became alert: "There is murderous intent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mountains suddenly shook, the earth trembled, and the people in the capital screamed and fled.

A goat, as big as a cow and fatter than a pig, ran towards him with rumbling hooves.

Behind the sheep, an old dog that looked like a human was chasing, and an old Taoist priest was dragged behind the dog leash. The old Taoist priest was holding on to the dog leash with both hands, and was dragged with his face to the ground. His life or death was unknown.

Behind the old Taoist priest who was being dragged along, a large group of criminal inspectors were hurriedly chasing after him, trying to grab the dog rope and rescue the old Taoist priest who was being dragged along.

Wherever the sheep, the dog and the old Taoist priest passed by, they were all jumping up and down.
