Holy Bone

Chapter 1542: The Fight between Martial Arts Immortals and Humans

A mansion somewhere in the capital.

The candlelight flickered in the room, and through the reflection on the window paper, I could see a couple sitting in the room.

  The woman seemed to be sewing shoe soles to supplement the family income;

The man seemed to be mending his raincoat, preparing for the possible rainy day ahead.

The scene in the house was indeed like that. It was a very ordinary family of two, and at first glance there didn't seem to be anything wrong.

But if you watch for a long time, you will find some differences. The couple pricked their fingers several times, but they seemed to feel no pain and continued to sew soles and repair their raincoats as if nothing had happened.

The two men sat face to face with an oil lamp on the table. They kept sewing and mending with stiff expressions. They did not communicate with each other the whole time and just kept their heads down and busy themselves.

This makes the two of them seem even more abnormal. Even if they are deaf and mute, there will be some eye contact between husband and wife. It is absolutely impossible for them to have no communication at all, giving people a feeling of deadness and depressing atmosphere.

Suddenly, the table between the couple split in half, revealing a dark secret passage.

The couple was still busy with their own business, like dumb puppets being manipulated by others, indifferent to the changes in the outside world.

Walking down the secret passage and going several feet underground, you will come across a secret room.

The secret room was dark and chilly, lit only by four dim oil lamps.

There were four coffins placed in the four corners of the secret room. Each coffin was tightly tied with iron chains as thick as fingers, and the surface of the coffin was covered with blood curses.

The four dim oil lamps were placed right on the coffin, as if they were lighting soul lamps.

In the center of the four coffins is an altar.

On the altar were bottles and jars filled with poisonous insects, as well as various instruments and black talisman paper used for rituals.

There was a person sitting behind the altar. Due to the dim light in the secret room, his specific appearance could not be seen clearly, but he seemed to have encountered some big trouble. He was hurriedly packing up the altar and planning to leave.

suddenly!

The four coffins at the four corners of the altar shook violently, and the thick iron chains that bound the coffins also rattled.

At the same time, the altar was also shaking.

It's like a sign before the earth-turning dragon comes.

Puff!

Puff!

The secret room exploded with fire. It turned out that the barrier talismans attached to the wall to isolate the outside world seemed to be overloaded and were exploding one by one.

  Five barrier talismans spontaneously combusted!

Ten barrier talismans spontaneously combusted!

Twenty barrier talismans spontaneously combusted!

The talismans pasted on the earthen walls of the secret room all spontaneously ignited without fire, and the secret room, which should have been dimly lit, suddenly became as bright as day.

"Martial! Dao! Human! Immortality!"

The shadowy man who was about to escape from here suddenly had his pupils shrink and gnashed his teeth, his expression gloomy, frightened and angry.

"How is this possible! How could you find me so quickly and chase me here so quickly!"

The shadow man didn't care about the magic weapons anymore. He planned to discard everything here and escape from the secret room immediately. He had a premonition that the martial arts immortal would find him soon and he couldn't hesitate any longer.

But he was still a step too late.

Because Jin An did not come in person to hunt him down, but used the Taoist magic of taking objects from a bag to fight him through the air.

Once the location is locked by the Taoist technique of taking objects from a bag, it is like taking something from a bag. Taking off someone's head from a thousand miles away is as easy as taking something from a bag.

  Rumble!

There was a strong wind blowing in the secret room. It was the spiritual power of the barrier talisman burning, fighting against the void invaders, forming a spiritual power storm.

The sudden change happened too quickly, and the talismans were burning themselves at an accelerated rate. In just one or two breaths, half of the talismans had turned into ashes.

One or two breaths were too short, so short that the black shadow figure had not even crossed the altar.

As long as the location is locked by the Taoist technique of taking objects from the bag, it will come in an instant and there will be no escape.

In the end, all the talisman papers on the wall were burned up, but the secret room did not fall into darkness again, because a blood-red hand surrounded by red clouds and carrying the scorching power of the sun passed through the void and descended into the secret room out of thin air.

As soon as the bloody hand descended, it blocked the only secret passage leading to the outside world in the secret room.

Seeing that the only way of retreat was blocked, the shadow man knew that he had to fight desperately to escape today.

The only thing to be thankful for is that what has descended now is only a hand of the Martial Arts Immortal, and not the Martial Arts Immortal himself.

Otherwise, based on the rumors about the Martial Arts Immortal in the outside world, and the terrifying means by which he could suppress two pseudo-fourth-level strongmen from the Indian Kingdom at the same time in the Taoist Huangting inner world, if he really wanted to fight against the Martial Arts Immortal himself, even if there were a hundred of them, he would not be able to touch a finger of the Martial Arts Immortal.

The shadow man sacrificed an earth talisman, intending to escape directly from underground. However, the earth talisman spontaneously ignited without fire as soon as it appeared, and the spell was broken.

It was probably because the secret room was filled with the yang energy of martial arts immortals at this time, and all Shinto magic and soul leaving the body were suppressed by the yang energy of heaven and earth and could not be displayed at full strength.

The shadow man did not give up and took out another earthen talisman. This time it also ignited without fire and the spell was broken.

Looking at the Fire Cloud Hand in the void, which seemed to have eyes and was accurately grabbing towards his position, the black shadow man cursed "Damn it" and then returned to the altar. Since all the retreat routes were blocked, he could only fight hard to fight for a chance of survival.

The shadowy figure slapped the altar, and the human skulls, leg bones, hand bones, pottery jars containing human internal organs, and various human bone magical instruments on the altar were all shaken into the air and slapped towards the Void Fire Cloud's palm.

He knew very well that these magical weapons were not enough to fight against the Martial Arts Immortal in the face of his powerful yang power, so he only hoped to delay the Martial Arts Immortal temporarily.

At this time, the four coffins in the secret room were still shaking, and the coffins and iron chains were emitting evil energy and a foul stench of corpses.

The shadowy figure grabbed four incense sticks from the incense burner, and under the incense sticks came up red silk ropes, and under the red silk ropes came out four straw men.

But this straw man is different from the usual scarecrows. It is a black straw man woven with poisonous grass that likes cold, humid environments.

The black shadow quickly pointed two fingers in the porcelain bowl filled with bright red blood, and then quickly dotted the eyes of the four straw men on the altar.

When drawing a dragon, don't add the eyes; when drawing a tiger, don't add the pupils; when drawing a paper figure, only paint the eyes without adding the eyes.

Every industry has its own rules, and behind each rule are countless lives.

Pointing the eyes means opening the orifice, allowing the dead object to borrow a breath of yang energy from the living, and many strange things begin to happen one after another.

Knowing that this was a taboo, the black shadow man took the initiative to open his eyes. This was to fight against the martial arts immortal, without any scruples and with all his strength.

  As the straw man on the altar was given eyes, boom!

The four coffins placed against the corner of the wall were filled with negative energy. The coffins and iron chains all exploded, and all kinds of poisonous insects rolled to the ground, including snakes, scorpions, insects, centipedes, spiders, toads and maggots!

  The red string that tied the straw man to the wound was also blown off along with the iron chain!

Four iron-armed zombies flew out of the coffin. For a moment, green corpse fire, foul-smelling corpse miasma, and foot-long nails all surrounded the Void Fire Cloud's palm.

Seeing the four flying zombies committing crimes, the black shadow man gained confidence. These were the flying zombies that he had spent many years raising with great effort. The flying zombies had been nourished by Yin Qi and poisons for many years, and their skin and flesh were as hard as a copper wall and iron wall. They were hard to be injured by magic weapons and could not be invaded by water or fire. Moreover, he raised hundreds of poisonous insects in the coffin to kill each other, and then fed the flying zombies with the King of Gu. Each of them was extremely poisonous, and if they touched it, they would die, and even their souls could be poisoned to death.

These four flying zombies are his biggest trump card. Originally, he didn't want to expose them so early and wanted to refine them for a few more years. The Four Symbols Formation of Breaking Heaven and Earth has been broken, and the Third Realm is no longer the extreme realm. As long as he is allowed to refine them for a few more years, it may not be impossible to refine the four flying zombies to the fourth realm.

It’s just a pity that this time, in order to deal with the martial arts immortal, the ritual was terminated prematurely, disrupting his plan.

But the incredible scene that happened next shattered his dream of poisoning the martial arts immortal.

  sulfuric acid!

The sound of metal clashing against metal was so sore and sparks flew out.

Sparks flew from the foot-long nails of the four poisonous flying zombies and the palms of the void fire cloud, boom!

  Pong!

The flying zombie's arm, which was as strong as iron, was blown off!

The head-on collision not only failed to shake the martial arts immortal, but instead exposed the defect that his physical body was not as strong as that of the martial arts immortal. The iron arms of the four flying zombies were all broken.

The foot-long nails, sharper than daggers, couldn't even pierce the membrane of Void Fire Cloud's palm.

Seeing this, the shadowy figure screamed in shock and anger: "This is absolutely impossible!"

"This is not the third realm! You, the martial arts immortal, have already broken through the third realm!"

At this time, they were fighting in the air and no one responded to him. The four flying zombies had no intelligence. After their arms were blown off, they still wanted to stop the Void Fire Cloud Palm. As a result, they were all shattered and exploded into a rain of corpses.

The yang fire and blood ignited the rain of corpses, and the rain of corpses turned into rain of fire.

The atmosphere in the secret room suddenly became solemn. The Fire Cloud's palm was wrapped in fire rain, suppressing the shadowy man like a covering the sky. The yin energy and moisture in the underground secret room were evaporated, making people feel dry mouth and dry and itchy skin.

The shadow man knew that if he fell into the hands of the martial arts immortal, there would be no chance of survival. He still wanted to resist stubbornly, so he picked up the porcelain bowl of blood on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

The blood seemed very precious. His eyes were red and he was reluctant to waste even a drop. He stuffed the entire porcelain bowl into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it into his stomach.

At this moment, his expression was ferocious and his mouth was full of blood. It was unclear whether it came from the blood in the porcelain bowl or from his mouth and tongue pierced by the broken pieces of the porcelain bowl.

"Great Wizard, save me!"

A blood-stained soul rushed out of the black shadow's body, and it was actually able to withstand the blood and energy of the martial arts immortal and fight back.

The bloodstained soul visualized a wheel of time that was constantly dripping blood, with the power to crush the law of time. Wherever it passed, the surrounding time and space were distorted, and it spun bigger and bigger until it crashed into the palm of the void fire cloud.

Boom!

With an explosion, the ground here was lifted up by the terrible blast, revealing a secret room buried deep underground.

"The Great Wizard is no better than this!"

The dull voice of the martial arts immortal was left above the ruins of the secret room.

……

The residence of Cheng Baiqing, academician of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Medicine cabinet.

Jinan picked a ginseng fruit from the ginseng fruit tree, scratched the skin on the back of the fruit with his fingernails, and pulled out a person whose life or death was unknown from the ginseng fruit.

"Little brother, you mentioned the Great Wizard just now. Did you just fight with the Great Wizard of the Grassland Khanate?" The old Taoist priest climbed down the ladder using his hands and feet and came over to check the identity of the captured person.

Jin An said disdainfully: "It's just a drop of blood shadow, not even the fourth realm, it can only launch a pseudo fourth realm attack, it should be a drop of blood left before the Four Symbols Bureau of Broken Heaven and Earth was broken."

After saying this, the Gengjin Energy on his arm was retracted, and his golden skin returned to its normal color.

The old Taoist priest examined the person on the ground, frowned and said, "I can't sense the three souls and seven spirits in his body. Has his soul been scattered and he become a living dead?"

Jin An: "The Great Witch sensed my move and knew that the matter was exposed, so he abandoned this man and destroyed his three souls and seven spirits."

The old Taoist priest said solemnly: "It turns out that the Grassland Khanate has planted spies in the capital!"

Jin An snorted coldly and walked in front of Su Susu: "Fortunately, we still have this clue. No one has been able to escape interrogation under my "Heavenly Demon Holy Art" yet."

The interrogation process was not complicated. With his current spiritual and martial arts skills, the interrogation went smoothly.

Su Susu's family was originally a local big family, and they had no worries about food and clothing all their lives. However, because her father stood on the wrong side in the court, the family fell into decline, and even she herself had to live in prostitution. When people from the Steppe Khanate came to her, she was easily instigated to rebel.

Su Susu used her status to make friends with nobles and officials, while keeping an eye on those talented and unhappy officials in Beijing, and finally chose Cheng Baiqing.

Seven years ago, Cheng Baiqing was still a vice-academician of the Imperial Medical Bureau. After he was turned against the government, with the unique rouge formula and financial support from the grassland Khanate, Cheng Baiqing's career began to flourish. Relying on his unique rouge, he was deeply loved by the imperial concubines. Not only did he expand the Tiangong Miaoge business, he was also promoted to the full academician of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Above the Academician of the Imperial Medical Bureau is the Supervisor of the Imperial Medical Bureau. He has already made arrangements. The Supervisor of the Imperial Medical Bureau will retire in two years. At that time, he will become the Supervisor of the Imperial Medical Bureau and will have the final say in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The Khanate of the Grassland was not worried that Cheng Baiqing would have second thoughts or betray them, because the unique rouge formula was Cheng Baiqing's Achilles' heel.

Cheng Baiqing didn't know that the most important ingredient in rouge to keep youth was extracted from human oil. He found out a few years later. At that time, the imperial concubines and the wives of the officials in the capital had been using Tiangong Miaoge rouge for several years and could not live without it. Cheng Baiqing knew that once this was exposed, those people would kill people to save the family's face.

So he can only go down this path until the end.

It is the Tiangong Miaoge that makes it successful, and it is also the Tiangong Miaoge that makes it fail. If you associate with the devil, you will be bitten back by the devil.

But an accident happened along the way, which made Cheng Baiqing start to have second thoughts.

Before Cheng Baiqing took his seat in the Imperial Hospital, news of the fall of the Grassland Khanate had already reached the capital. Later, news came that the Great Wizard's sneak attack had failed, and he was hunted down by the strong men of Kangding State and fled back to the northern grasslands in a panic, not daring to set foot in the Central Plains again. Upon learning this, Cheng Baiqing was in a panic all day long. He knew that it was meaningless to work for the Grassland Khanate anymore, and he began to have second thoughts and wanted to get rid of the control of the Grassland Khanate.

Seven days ago, Cheng Baiqing was upset about this matter and accidentally slapped his daughter in anger. Cheng Baiqing actually regretted it as soon as he slapped her, but it was too late. That slap sent his daughter on a path of no return...

The boss behind Su Susu has never relaxed his surveillance on Cheng Baiqing. The boss saw that Cheng Baiqing had a rebellious heart and his mind was no longer on their side. In order to warn Cheng Baiqing, on the day when Cheng Ling'er came to Tiangong Miaoge and made a scene, they refined Cheng Ling'er into rouge makeup material.

They thought that since Cheng Baiqing had so many concubines and children, killing Cheng Baiqing's daughter would not be a big deal, but would serve as a warning. However, they underestimated Cheng Baiqing's emphasis on family ties. The moment Cheng Baiqing took his daughter's human oil, he went crazy and sought revenge on them like a mad dog.

Seeing Cheng Baiqing losing control, he had no choice but to kill him as well.

Although Cheng Baiqing is dead, his body can be recycled again. Su Susu and the others originally wanted to keep Cheng Baiqing's body to see if they could find an opportunity to enter the palace and poison Emperor Kang Zhao, which could be regarded as revenge for the fall of the grassland Khanate... But at this critical juncture, Jin'an suddenly brought the Criminal Investigation Department to search the spice shop in a high-profile manner, disrupting their plans.

They didn't know that Jin'an's real purpose was to search the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When they saw the Criminal Investigation Department appear in Penglai Inn, they thought that their whereabouts after more than a decade of hiding had been exposed. They were eager to kill people and erase all traces, but instead they attracted the Criminal Investigation Department to chase them relentlessly. In the end, they actually tracked down the lair of Tiangong Miaoge.

It’s not that they don’t want to escape, but there is really no way for them to escape.

First, the spice shop was blocked by the Criminal Investigation Department.

Secondly, the lead and mercury holy fetus that was Jin An's external incarnation revealed his late third realm cultivation, which suppressed a bunch of snakes, insects, rats and ants and made them dare not move.

Although he had already guessed that the oil and rouge that harmed people had long been in the hands of the concubines in the harem, when he heard the confirmation with his own ears, the old Taoist priest was still shocked: "Little brother, this matter is very tricky. After all, it involves too many people, including the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Palace, and the families of the civil and military officials in the capital... How do you plan to write this case file?"

"And how do you plan to announce to the outside world the case of the Imperial Hospital academician collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?"
