Holy Bone

Chapter 1562 Entering a New Paradise

Because this blessed land is special, with two suns shining at the same time and strong yang and fire, everyone is waiting for the night to fall, waiting for the best time when yin is strong and yang is weak in the world of the living, and then choose to enter this blessed land.

While waiting for the night to fall, the sensation caused by Jin An's arrival continued to ferment, and the most discussed topic was speculating about Jin An's true cultivation level.

Jin'an didn't pay attention to all this. When he was meeting with his old friends from Yujing Jinque and Zhenguo Temple, he was secretly looking for the list of people who had obtained the fairy jade fragments given by Fatty Li.

The sorcerer from the southern barbarians, the mysterious master Gu Yan from the Tianshi Mansion, and the brother and sister of the Ma family, a family of demon exorcists from the north, are all here.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Xu Anping not here?" Jin An asked curiously when he found that Fellow Daoist Xu was not there.

He came here originally intending to catch up with old friends.

Uncle Lin smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xu is in the Widow's Manor, responsible for gathering some intelligence from the people and reporting on strange people and unusual events in various parts of the world."

Jin An nodded in understanding.

While reminiscing with old friends, night fell unknowingly. At midnight, when the yin energy in the world was at its heaviest, rays of light from the soul rose from Widow Village, bringing with them a long rainbow tail, and flew towards the quarry.

When these people arrived, all the powerful fourth-level warriors who had stayed outside the quarry had disappeared and had all entered the quarry tunnel.

Among them was Jinan who rode a bull.

Through casual chatting during the day, Jin'an had already learned about the situation of the quarry tunnels from Yujing Jinque and Zhenguo Temple.

The mine tunnels in the quarry are crisscrossed and complex. The end of each mine tunnel can lead to the paradise. However, the location of each mine tunnel in the paradise is different. Whether it appears in a lucky place or a dangerous place depends entirely on luck.

Some people are lucky and can pick up fairy jade fragments in the ruins as soon as they enter the blessed land, just like the people who got the fairy jade fragments before. This is the case for most people.

The blessed land is too big and full of dangers. The probability of finding the fragments of the fairy jade in the blessed land after exploring it is too low, which is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

However, this time is different from the last time, because there are many more people in the fourth realm in the team entering the blessed land this time.

And they were all carefully prepared, unlike the hasty exploration last time.

Precisely because each mine tunnel appears in a different location in the paradise, most people who enter the quarry mine tunnel will act separately.

These Shinto masters have great means of communication in the secular world. Almost everyone of them has a quarry map copied from the county document library, and everyone has his or her own ideal psychological route.

For example, Jin'an also has a quarry tunnel map in his hand. This map was copied from the Criminal Investigation Department. He also specially copied several more copies, which were distributed to Yujing Jinque and Zhenguo Temple.

The quarry tunnel maps recorded in the Criminal Investigation Department are much more detailed than those recorded in the local county government.

"The quarry tunnels are complicated and crisscrossed. They reminded me of the entrance to the Thousand Corpse Cave in the Wuzhou Prefecture's paradise, which also has thousands of caves crisscrossing each other." The tunnels were not spacious. Jin'an had already got off the ox's back. He walked in front, and the big blue ox followed behind him. He looked around as he walked and spoke.

The big blue ox became interested and asked about the details of the Thousand Corpses Cave and the Wuzhou Prefecture's blessed land.

As we were talking and walking, we heard the clanging sound of pickaxes mining stones ahead. After turning two bends, we heard the flickering dim light of an oil lamp ahead, and the sound of pickaxes mining stones became clearer.

In the dim mine tunnel with turbid air, illuminated by oil lamps and torches, a dozen dusty-faced miners were seen working hard to wield iron pickaxes to mine stones.

The rough iron picks chiseled the hard rock walls, creating sparks and the sound of metal hitting metal. The miners were talking and laughing, telling dirty jokes while mining, to relieve the boredom of underground mining.

Faced with these outsiders from Jinan, the miners seemed not to notice them. They lived in their own world and chatted and laughed with their fellow workers.

Looking at this scene, Jin An looked thoughtful.

He already knew some details before coming. These miners were all people who had died in the mine tunnels of the quarry in the past. Most of them were people who had suffered mining accidents and whose bodies were buried in the mine tunnels forever, and they died with their eyes open.

As the paradise was opened, the aura of the quarry changed dramatically, causing the obsessions of the dead in the mine to temporarily "come back to life".

These obsessions still linger on before the mine accident. They don't even know they are dead and are still mining in the dark in the mine.

The last time the entrance to the paradise was opened, these temporarily "resurrected" miners were one of the characteristics.

So when they saw these miners who had died "resurrected", the people guarding the quarry immediately spread the news to the outside world that the paradise was stable and the passage would be opened again soon.

A group of people passed through the bodies of these miners. The two sides were separated by yin and yang and did not interfere with each other. The miners seemed not to see them. Even though someone passed through their bodies, they were still busy mining.

The obsessions of these deceased miners were scattered. After passing this group of people, not far away, I encountered another group of obsessions of the deceased miners.

"The situation this time is different from last time." Uncle Lin in the team suddenly frowned.

True Man Chi Yuan, True Man Xuan Lei, Jin An and others who were traveling with them all looked over.

Others entered the paradise for the sake of immortality and to obtain the fragments of immortal jade, so they all acted separately and were unwilling to act together in case their immortality opportunities were divided.

However, Yujing Jinque and Wuzang Taoist Temple joined forces to enter the blessed land this time. The fairy jade fragments were secondary, and saving Qingxi Zhenren was the primary priority, so they acted together and did not act separately.

Uncle Lin explained with a serious expression: "The last time the paradise was opened, the miners who died were not as obsessed as they are this time."

Last time, most of the masters of Yujing Jinque were trapped in the small underworld, including Zhenren Chiyuan and Zhenren Xuanlei. As for the details of the last opening of the blessed land, Uncle Lin knew more.

True Man Chi Yuan nodded: "It was opened temporarily last time. The power of some laws in the quarry did not leak much, which is understandable."

Xuan Lei Zhenren said happily: "So, the situation is different this time. Only when it is different, there will be variables. This means that the scope of the opening of the cave paradise is larger than the last time, and there must be more fairy jade fragments circulating."

At this point, everyone looked at the Seven-Star Pagoda held in the hand of True Man Chi Yuan.

At this time, Taoist Mi Li in the Seven Star Pagoda was picking up a handful of bamboo sticks and throwing them on the ground to tell fortunes. The bamboo sticks were scattered on the ground, in the east, south, west and north. Taoist Mi Li picked them up one by one and examined them. After a brief pause, he said, "Continue to walk in the original direction."

Just at this moment, one of the miners who died was determined and used a pickaxe to dig a crack in the rock wall. A bright light shone from the crack, as bright as daylight, instantly illuminating the dark mine tunnel.

An elder from Yujing Jinque who was closest to the scene thought that this was just an illusion, just like the obsession of the miners who died, and it was not real. He tried to reach out to touch the light source, but he disappeared out of thin air.

This sudden change happened too suddenly. When the others just reacted to the sudden bright light and saw the elder disappear out of thin air, it was too late for them to reach out and grab him.

Everyone's expressions changed.
