Holy Bone

Chapter 1624 Return and the Voice That Should Not Appear

Originally, the Fire Bull Demon King wanted to rely on the characteristics of the Xiantian Bagua Furnace God Mountain to refine more dragon-patterned stone arrows, but a change that happened afterwards disrupted his plan.

As he straightened the Bagua Furnace God Mountain, the furnace fire no longer poured down on the world, and the raging fire in the Flame Mountain was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the flames died down, thirty land temples and thirty mountain god temples also reappeared in the world.

"Hey, why are these temples different from before? They have all been renovated!"

“Not only have they been renovated to look like new, but there are also incense offerings in every temple!”

The heroes who wanted to explore the Flaming Mountain again expressed their surprise.

"It seems to be related to the Bull Demon King."

"This Bull Demon King is quite thoughtful. He succeeded in killing the god, but he did not take credit for himself. He knew how to be grateful and fulfill his vows."

The raging fire in the Flaming Mountain burns all year round. The Bull Demon King of Fire had previously brought Qingxi Zhenren to the Flaming Mountain to repair the temple and burn incense to fulfill their vows. The outside world did not see the details, so the above speculation and conversation led to this.

These people really guessed it right. All this was indeed what the Fire Bull Demon King did to fulfill his wish.

However, their attention was soon drawn to another thing. As the flames of the Flaming Mountain weakened, they could go deeper into the Flaming Mountain freely and were no longer subject to many harsh restrictions.

But when the heroes wanted to rush into the Flaming Mountain again to grab the treasure, a drastic change occurred in this blessed land.

As the flames weakened and gradually died out, the thirty land temples and thirty mountain god temples that were able to see the light of day again suddenly emitted bright light, and a divine aura rose into the sky.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

In the face of such drastic changes in heaven and earth, human power seemed as insignificant as an ant trying to shake a tree. For a moment, no one rushed into the Flaming Mountain, and everyone was watching the situation in heaven and earth.

Only the Seven Star Taoist and a few people from the Tianshi Mansion noticed something and their faces changed.

The Seven Star Taoist had a solemn expression: "The Eight Trigrams Furnace God Mountain has been straightened, and the righteous path of the world can see the light of day again. They want to repair the sky and reseal the blessed land to prevent evil spirits from going out and harming the world of the living!"

Although the "they" here is not explicitly stated, everyone knows who it refers to. They are the obsessions of the ancient ancestors in the thirty land god temples and thirty mountain god temples, and the obsessions of those who died in the battle in the ancestral temple of this Taoist temple.

Today's blessed land is a Yinfen Taoist temple, where too many dead people are buried. Today's Yinfen Taoist temple is a huge place where yin gathers and corpses are raised. If it is not controlled, it will inevitably become a huge disaster.

Not only are the bones of the mountain god buried here, but also many people who deserved to die and those who shouldn't have died, as well as a swarm of ghosts and monsters.

Some people were still thinking about the immortal treasures in the Flame Mountain, and said unwillingly: "Ying, it shouldn't be that serious. Everyone in this paradise has died. Is there really anyone who can repair the sky?..."

The Seven Star Taoist looked at the speaker seriously and said, "Do you really think they are all dead?"

This statement means something.

That headless, four-armed demon.

There are also thirty land temples and thirty mountain temples that respond to the call of the Fire-Bull Demon King.

People have obsessions after death.

The wills of these people during their lifetime turned into obsessions after death, and they continued to uphold the last bit of righteousness in the dark hell.

The next words from the Seven Star Taoist finally made everyone present change their expressions collectively: "Have you forgotten the disaster in Wuzhou?"

The inexplicable flood that occurred in Wuzhou Prefecture two years ago submerged the prefecture, left hundreds of miles of barren land, and caused countless deaths and injuries. The government announced to the public that the sudden flood was caused by the bursting of the Yinyi River upstream.

But in fact, in the cultivation world, everyone knows very well that the flood that submerged the state capital was related to the blessed land and the evil spirit of the mountain god.

Many strange people from the folk entered that blessed land, and the number of missing people was too large to conceal. The truth had already spread in the cultivation community.

The Wuzhou Prefecture's blessed land, which had not yet been opened, could cause such a disaster, affecting the entire Wuzhou Prefecture. This time, the blessed land was opened, and the seal of the Four Symbols Bureau of Broken Heaven and Earth was broken. If another disaster really happened, it is hard to imagine how many lives would be lost, and I am afraid that even the capital city would not be able to escape the disaster.

Repairing the sky and re-sealing the blessed land is the best outcome at the moment.

The Taoist Qixing made a prompt decision and took everyone from Yujing Jinque with him and left the paradise immediately, trying to leave before the sky repair was completed.

Master Taiqing hesitated only for a moment, then took all the people of Taiqing Dao with him, becoming the second sect to leave.

Originally, most people were still hesitating, until even the Tianshifu turned around and left with a look of reluctance on their faces, hurriedly walking towards the outside of the Flame Mountain. Only then did the remaining hesitant people realize the seriousness of the situation, and their number suddenly dropped by more than half.

"My fellow Taoists, please listen to my advice and leave as soon as possible, so as not to regret it later." Before leaving the mountain, the Seven Star Taoist still did not forget to give some advice to those who stayed behind.

"Thank you for your concern. Please rest assured, Taoist Qixing, if the situation is really not right, we will leave immediately without hesitation." The rest of the people said thank you verbally while standing still.

Everyone knows that greed will eventually lead to the snake swallowing an elephant.

But there is a saying in this world: "Greed and profit blind people".

When people are really faced with the temptation of absolute interests, how many people can remain unwavering?

Knowing that these people were careful and determined, the Seven Star Taoist no longer forced them to leave with him. After saying take care, he sighed and left with his men.

Even the Big Blue Ox and the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue followed Yujing Jinque out of the mountain. This was Jin'an's idea. His real body had already escaped from the Flame Mountain using the Earth Walking Technique and was waiting for the reunion outside the mountain.

Everything that was happening outside was seen clearly by the Lead and Mercury Holy Embryo's clone. Jin'an's original body did not hesitate and was waiting outside the mountain early.

The reunion process went smoothly. Jin'an sat on the back of the big blue ox, carrying the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist God, and rushed straight out of the blessed land.

"Look, martial arts immortals, old man Lihuo has returned to the team and is meeting with the Jiang family ancestor and Pojun Hou from the Tianshi Mansion. They are whispering mysteriously, and I wonder what conspiracy they are up to."

The Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue said, "When we were at the Flame Mountain, Elder Lihuo tried to kill you, the Martial Dao Immortal. Now that we are enemies, won't you go and kill Elder Lihuo?"

Jin'an's reply is very intriguing: "With Yujing Jinque and Zhenguo Temple present, don't make it difficult for them."

The Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue showed a dazed expression, and then it began to ask about the awakening process of Qingxi Zhenren and whether anything happened between the two in the Flame Mountain.

Jin An glanced at the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord: "I originally left you a lot of fourth-level eyeballs, but now it seems that the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord has wasted your talent. You can only wait for me to help you keep an eye out for Thousand Mouths in the future."

Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue: "Huh?"

The big blue ox carrying Jin'an grunted and asked a serious question very solemnly: "What is it like to be a martial arts immortal and kill a mountain god?"

……

……

after one day.

The outside world.

Jin'an and his group safely evacuated the paradise. He walked out of the dark mine tunnel of the quarry and saw the light of day again. At first sight, he was attracted by the sky above his head.

It was daytime on earth at this time, but the strange phenomenon of two suns hanging high in the sky had disappeared. The two suns in the same sky when they went down to the paradise had returned to being a normal sun hanging in the sky.

His face turned serious.

As expected by the Seven Star Taoist, as the sky was repaired, the Jiyang Cave Paradise was being closed again. Other forces also looked up and saw the scene in the sky, praising the Seven Star Taoist for his ability to predict the future. Others were repairing the sky, while the Seven Star Taoist was asking questions about the sky and predicting the secrets of heaven.

The Seven Star Taoist twirled his beard and sighed, "The word 'Bu Tian' has nothing to do with me. The one who really mended the sky is the mysterious Taoist master who was able to carry the Eight Diagrams Furnace of Taishang Laojun, extinguish the thousand-year-old fire of Huoyan Mountain, and successfully slay the gods."

"He is the real man who repaired the sky, and we are just the ones who are protected by him."

"Pity……"

The Taoist Qixing looked at the sun in the sky with a look of regret.

"What Taoist Qixing said is a pity, but it means that the paradise has not been fully explored yet and it has been closed early?" The speaker was old man Lihuo.

Isn't this his own voice and his extreme unwillingness? He used the Seven Star Taoist's mouth to express his true inner thoughts.

Taoist Qixing shook his head and said, "It's a pity that no one knows the true identity of that mysterious Taoist master. If we knew, we would definitely invite this Taoist friend to visit my Jade Capital Golden Palace, burn incense and discuss scriptures, and discuss Taoist experiences."

The Seven Star Taoist's heartfelt words show how highly he thinks of the other party.

The Shinto masters present who had personally witnessed the battle at Flaming Mountain were all moved and in awe.

Only old man Lihuo looked unhappy and silent with a gloomy face. Taoist Qixing was talking about something irrelevant. I don't know whether he said it unintentionally or deliberately implied something else.

The more he listened to others praising the Bull Demon King, the more he felt like there was a thorn in his heart, making him feel uncomfortable and gnashing his teeth.

Old man Lihuo knew he was in the wrong, so he left without saying a word.

After expressing regret for a few more times, the Taoist Seven Stars turned his gaze to Jin An: "I heard from my junior fellow apprentice that he owes you a favor, Taoist Jin An, and promised you to enter the Jade Capital Golden Palace Sutra Library to practice a magical power?"

Jin An clasped his fists in confusion and asked, "Who is the junior fellow of the Qixing Taoist?"

Xuan Lei Zhenren has already blinked anxiously to indicate: "It is Taoist Zhan Mu."

Jinan suddenly realized.

Taoist Qixing nodded and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Taoist Jin'an also saved my sister's life. Thanks to Taoist Jin'an's escort, my sister was able to leave the Taoist Huangting Inner Scenery safely. We brothers only have this sister. Although she is not a blood relative, the relationship between us is as deep as that of a blood relative."

"Master Jin'an saved my junior sister's life, which is equivalent to saving the lives of several of our fellow disciples. Before my junior brother went to the Bulao Mountain, he once told me to take Master Jin'an to the Sutra Library. In my opinion, it is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Master Jin'an should come to my Jade Capital Jinque today. I will personally host a banquet to thank Master Jin'an and show my sincerity."

Just as Jin An was about to speak, the Seven Star Taoist looked at the Thousand Eyes Taoist statue that had its little head poking out from the sleeves of Jin An's Taoist robe, and interrupted him by saying, "The Thousand Eyes Taoist has also made an invaluable contribution, and he deserves the same preferential treatment as Taoist Master Jin An."

Upon hearing this, the evil god was immediately moved and choked up: "I never thought that one day I would be valued so much by Yujing Jinque, the leader of the world's Taoist sects, and be invited by Yujing Jinque so warmly."

“Is this what it feels like to be valued?!”

“It’s so nice to be a good person!”

The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist flew out of the sleeves of Jin'an's Taoist robe and floated to the shoulder of the Seven-Star Taoist, who was moved and burst into tears.

When darkness is illuminated by light, it will be shocked.

The elders of Yujing Jinque laughed out loud, not in derision, but out of tolerance and understanding of human kindness.

Looking at the crying Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue, Jin An nodded and accepted the kind invitation from Yujing Jinque: "Then I'm sorry to bother the Seven-Star Taoist and the elders."

The Seven Star Taoist laughed happily and said, "No bother, not at all."

……

……

With the closure of the paradise, the quarry gradually became deserted.

A mine tunnel chamber somewhere in a quarry.

There are stone temples, bronze chimes and a layout of the Dunjia formation in the cave. The layout here is exactly the same as the layout of the underground palace leading to the world of the living in the Taoist Huangting inner scene.

This is the underground palace passage where Jin'an was teleported out carrying Master Qingxi.

The only difference is that there is no underground palace complex on this side of the mortal world, only a simple cave.

And this simple cave in front of him is also the place where Jin An carried True Man Qingxi back to the world of the living.

In fact, this is the real entrance to the Taoist Huangting inner scene, and the ear room of the Gathering Yin Land in the Widow Manor is the side door. It is the loosening of the barrier of the small underworld, and the other passage appeared by accident.

The matter in the underworld has been settled for so long that the place is already deserted.

The masters who stayed behind from Yujing Jinque, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion to welcome the survivors have all left, leaving only silence and darkness.

The occasional whistling sound of the wind, with its eerie and strange sounds, makes the place even more quiet and eerie, as if no one has ever been here.

In the dark and claustrophobic environment, any unusual sound would seem empty and harsh, and would travel far away.

  Boom!

Ding-ding-ding-ding——

Suddenly, a series of bronze chimes struck each other, crisp and harsh, and not at all pleasant in the eerie dark environment.

The sound of the bronze chimes came from the lonely stone temple.

However, the bronze chimes only rang a few times before suddenly stopping. They appeared and disappeared just as suddenly as they did in this dark world deep underground, bringing endless chill to people.

Not long after the bronze chimes stopped ringing, several flames approached rapidly from the other end of the mine tunnel, and the sound of several people talking could be vaguely heard approaching this side quickly.

"I think I heard the bronze chimes ringing!"

"Do you know what the ringing of bronze chimes means? It means that someone in the Taoist Huangting Inner Scenery is ringing bronze chimes, just like a person in a dream is awakened, and someone returns from the underworld to the world of the living. However, there has been no one in the Taoist Huangting Inner Scenery for a long time. With the emergence of the Jiyang Cave Heaven Blessed Land, the adjacent Taoist Huangting Inner Scenery has also been deeply affected and has undergone earth-shaking changes."

"If we check it out, we will know whether it was blown by the wind. In any case, it is impossible for a ghostly dead person to escape. The Taoist Huangting inner scene has long been transformed into another extremely yang world. If anyone comes out, it can only be a living person."

As the firelight appeared in the cave, one of the men could be seen wearing a Feng Shui robe which clearly showed his identity. He was a Feng Shui master from the Tianshi Mansion.

The person who was traveling with him was not a Feng Shui master, so his identity could not be determined for the time being.

call--

A gust of cold wind blew by, the fire went out, and along with it the voices of the two people talking, and the world returned to dead silence.

Time passes by little by little, huh——

It sounded like the mountain wind in a mine tunnel, or like the sound of a person's light breathing, as if someone was blowing lightly on a tinder, reigniting the fire, and a ray of fire illuminated the cave deep underground again.

pat-

pat-

The firelight flickered and the sound of people's footsteps could be heard, which sounded particularly clear in the empty and secluded underground and echoed far away.
