Holy Bone

Chapter 1626 Fatty Li Licking the Flesh of the Mountain God

There was no outsider at the table today. Jin An recounted in detail his experiences in the Jiyang Cave Paradise.

Including the details of the purple gold red gourd, the law of heaven and earth, the mountain god bones, the thirty land temples, and the thirty mountain god temples where the mountain god's flesh and blood are offered as food for humans, all are described one by one.

Speaking of the mountain god's flesh and blood, Jin An had a piece in his hand. He had picked up a piece of the mountain god's flesh and blood on the ground of the Thirty Mountain God Temple.

When he heard that Xiao Jian had such a noble origin, and was most likely raised on the flesh and blood of mountain gods, and was more likely a survivor of an ancient bloodline from some blessed place, the old Taoist showed an expression as if to say, "As I expected, just as I expected."

The old Taoist priest raised his tail and said proudly: "What did I say in Wuzhou Prefecture? The sword cutter is not a simple person. He is definitely not a corpse retriever who grew up eating dead flesh. Look, I was right, wasn't I?"

"Let me tell you, I have traveled all over the world all my life, and I have seen all kinds of people, ghosts, and evil spirits. I can tell whether a person is a good person or a bad person with just one glance!"

"I just didn't expect that the sword-slashing man had a bigger background than I thought. Damn, a corpse-recoverer who grew up eating the flesh and blood of the mountain god, isn't he the nemesis of the mountain god?"

The old Taoist priest was shocked when he said the last sentence.

Not only was he shocked, Fatty Li and Old Dog were also shocked.

Even the most aloof and cold-hearted Peacock Goddess looked at the sword with surprise from time to time.

Jin An raised his eyebrows: "Yes, what the old Taoist said is consistent with my guess."

She continued, "There are those who retrieve corpses from the countryside who feed on the flesh of the dead since they were young, cultivating a body of corpse qi, and using the corpse qi to suppress the yang qi of the living. Only then can they deceive the wronged souls and evil spirits when there is a flood or a ghost, and help their employers retrieve the bodies from the pile of dead bodies."

"The same goes for the Taoist children in the blessed land who eat the flesh and blood of the mountain gods. They feed the flesh and blood of the mountain gods since they are young, so that they can accumulate enough of the aura of the mountain gods in their bodies, thereby deceiving the world and even the mountain gods, and then plotting big things."

Everyone at the table nodded, agreeing with what Jin'an and the old Taoist said. This was the most logical explanation at the moment.

“I didn’t expect that Xue Jian is the most important backup plan to defeat the mountain god. You are a trace of the secrets of heaven and earth left by our ancestors thousands of years ago.” The people and animals at the table looked at Xue Jian differently.

Jin An looked at Xue Jian with concern and asked, "Have these clues helped you recall your life experience? Have you recalled any new memories?"

Xue Jian frowned seriously and lowered his head, then raised his head and shook his head woodenly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember me. You will always be the Xuejian of the Wuzang Taoist Temple, the Xuejian we are all most familiar with." The old Taoist raised his greasy hand that had grabbed the roast chicken and patted Xuejian's shoulder to comfort him.

But he dodged the sword by turning sideways.

Facing the disgusted looks from the people and animals at the table, the old Taoist priest smiled shamelessly without a trace of embarrassment on his face.

Afterwards, Jin An took out the piece of flesh and blood of the mountain god that he had picked up in the Sanshishan Temple. When he saw that dry, black, dehydrated and shrunk mass with some signs of petrification, which looked like a small black lump of soil, it was the flesh and blood of the mountain god, the eyes of the people and animals at the table almost popped out.

Jin'an put the mountain god's flesh and blood on an empty plate so that everyone could pass it around and look at it.

Xue Jian was the first to get the flesh and blood of the mountain god. Jin An asked him with concern if he had any feelings after getting the flesh and blood of the mountain god and if he remembered any clues.

Xue Jian first shook his head, then nodded.

Jin An was delighted: "Seeing the blood and flesh of the mountain god again, did it bring back memories of sharpening your sword?"

Xue Jian replied in a dull voice: "My body is telling me that this is a piece of the mountain god's flesh and blood."

The words "sword-cutting" immediately aroused everyone's curiosity. The old Taoist stretched out his finger and poked the flesh of the mountain god, looking puzzled: "Is this really the flesh of the mountain god? It looks ugly. It feels like the stone in the toilet, black, hard and ugly..."

The old Taoist priest reacted immediately after he finished speaking, slapped his own mouth, and quickly spat out the unlucky words.

If Xue Jian really grew up eating the flesh and blood of the mountain god, then when he said that the flesh and blood of the mountain god in front of him was toilet stones, wasn't that the same as scolding Xue Jian?

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and spat it out.

Jin'an looked at the old Taoist priest speechlessly. The old Taoist priest was used to playing tricks and his mouth spoke faster than his brain.

But what follows is even more speechless.

When the flesh and blood of the mountain god was passed to Fatty Li, he actually licked the flesh and blood of the mountain god which was drier than the flesh of a mummy with his tongue, then smacked his lips a few times and said seriously: "It doesn't have any taste, just the smell of sand and earth."

"!"

Everyone at the table was collectively shocked.

Including the old dog, everyone looked at Fatty Li in shock.

It thought it could eat anything and was not picky about food, but it absolutely did not dare to touch the blood and flesh of the mountain god in front of it. But Fatty Li was even more of a dog than it, and even dared to taste the meat of a thousand-year-old zombie with his tongue.

Not to mention that it was the flesh and blood of the mountain god, just the zombie meat that had been dried for thousands of years, who would dare to try it easily? If you are not careful, you might get infected with corpse poison.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest, who knew Fatty Li's character best, quickly recovered from their shock and gave Fatty Li a thumbs up: "Fatty Li, you are still the most ruthless! I admire you!"

Ever since they knew Fatty Li in Wuzhou Prefecture, Fatty Li was obsessed with possessing evil spirits. Others were obsessed with getting rich, but Fatty Li was obsessed with possessing evil spirits. Wherever there were corpses and ghosts running around, he would go there to join in the fun, and he wished he could sleep in the arms of a dead person.

So when Fatty Li was able to lick the flesh and blood of the mountain god today, they quickly figured it out.

After repeatedly confirming that Fatty Li had no symptoms of corpse poison, Jin An said, "I picked up this ball of mountain god flesh and blood from the ground. It's normal for it to have sand and earthy smell after so many years."

"In the dry air environment of Huoyan Mountain, the flesh and blood will only become dehydrated mummy meat. It is indeed not easy to taste the rotten meat flavor."

The old Taoist nodded. He had been to the Northern Desert and Tibet and had done research on the mummies in these places.

The mountain god's flesh and blood continued to be circulated. Fortunately, no one was as curious as Fatty Li and licked the mountain god's flesh and blood. After one round, it returned to Jin'an's hands.

Seeing the mountain god's flesh and blood returned to his hands safely, even Jin An himself didn't understand why he felt relieved. Perhaps it was because Fatty Li's sudden licking of the mountain god's flesh and blood shocked him too much, and he was a little shocked, so his emotions fluctuated greatly...

Jin An could only find this one explanation for himself.

"Young man, what are you going to do with this piece of mountain god zombie meat?" the old Taoist asked in surprise.

Jin An thought about it, and then said, "I plan to give it a try."

"Sacrifice?"

"Little brother, you mean burning the body."

The old Taoist nodded in understanding, saying that the blood and flesh of the mountain god must not be left, and that it must be burned cleanly to eliminate future troubles, and that it must be burned with litchi tree branches. Jin An: "Almost."

He was very curious about whether this piece of mountain god's flesh and blood had been cut off for thousands of years and whether it would still have good karma after being sacrificed and refined. Would it become the next great magic treasure fragment of the underworld, and would it have a lot of good karma every time it was sacrificed and refined?

This matter can only be confirmed when he is alone.

Next, Jin An analyzed the Shaoyang Bureau, the Six Saints of Huangfeng, the new national master's identity as the resurrected corpse fairy Yuan Yiban, and the suspicion of Zaoxu Zhenren that the person who broke the Shaoyang Bureau was a foreigner.

Hearing that the new national master was a resurrected dead man, everyone gasped and said, "Who are these people who destroyed the Shaoyang Bureau? They can even revive ancient people who have been dead for hundreds of years!"

"Fatty Li, you are from the Criminal Investigation Department. You must have met the new Imperial Master a few times. Did you notice anything unusual?"

The old Taoist asked Fatty Li.

Fatty Li frowned and thought hard for a while, then sighed and said, "I have only seen the new national master from a distance. At least from a distance he looks like a living person."

After saying that, Fatty Li looked at Jin An with a very serious expression: "Master Jin An, you mentioned these clues at the same time. Do you have any clues about the identities of these foreigners?"

Jin An nodded: "Yes, but not necessarily."

"My biggest suspect right now is that those white-skinned demons are behind all this, so I plan to finish dealing with the matter in the capital as soon as possible, and then go to Luosha Country in person to investigate for clues."

Jin An did not say that he suspected the Rakshasa through his induction into the Great Dao, he only said that he was able to discern a little of the Rakshasa's methods through the details of the fight.

Unexpectedly, Fatty Li said, "I'm afraid that Taoist Jin'an will not be able to leave the capital in the short term, and will not be able to go to Luosha Country."

Jin An's expression changed: "Why?"

Fatty Li: "Because the seal of the Four Symbols Bureau of Heaven and Earth was broken, there were either severe droughts or heavy rains in various places, and natural disasters, man-made disasters, and evil monsters occurred frequently. During the days when Taoist Jin'an entered the blessed land, the emperor had agreed to the petition of all officials in the court to hold a grand ancestor worship ceremony to worship the ancestors and continue to ensure the peace of Kangding country for thousands of years."

"The specific auspicious date will be determined after the new Imperial Master returns to the capital and we discuss it with the Heavenly Master's Mansion."

Fatty Li also brought another piece of news, that the new national master would be returning to Beijing soon, so the day of the ancestral worship ceremony would not be too far away.

Jin'an nodded, with no surprise on his face that Emperor Kang Zhao finally agreed to hold the ancestral worship ceremony.

When he returned to the capital, he noticed that the sections of the city walls that were damaged by the raid on the capital by several great wizards of the grassland Khanate had been completely repaired.

At that time, he had already guessed that the day when Emperor Kang Zhao would hold a ceremony to worship his ancestors would not be far away.

To put it simply, the ancestral worship ceremony was to announce the achievements of Emperor Kang Zhao to the world and to build a golden statue of his achievements in the ancestral temple. Only wise rulers could enter the Taimiao. This temptation was not something that Emperor Kang Zhao could resist. Even in every dynasty, every emperor wanted to enter the Taimiao and be praised for thousands of years.

Everyone knew about this matter. Fatty Li couldn't say it openly due to his status, but Jin An's heart was as clear as a mirror and he had long seen through Emperor Kang Zhao's thoughts.

"The Luosha Kingdom is separated from the Kangding Kingdom by the Northern Desert, grasslands, snow-capped mountains, snow-capped forests, and plateaus. How do they know everything that happens in the Kangding Kingdom and are even involved with the mountain god? They can even find the most hidden Four Symbols Bureau of Breaking the Sky and the Earth?" The old Taoist frowned and raised a question.

Jin An: "This is exactly what I am wondering about, so I want to go to Luosha Country in person to find out the truth."

"Master Zaoxu, please let the person out."

Jin'an said this to the big blue ox.

The big blue ox mooed, then opened its mouth and spit out a living person. The whole body of the living person was covered by the yellow wind, and the person stood there stupidly.

Jin An explained: "This is what I said. The Yellow Wind King, one of the Six Yellow Wind Saints I abducted, has those yellow winds on his body that are the Samadhi Divine Winds. You should not be contaminated by those Samadhi Divine Winds."

"This Yellow Wind King is a breakthrough point. I will keep him by my side until I find a way to safely interrogate his remaining soul without triggering the restrictions."

"Old Taoist priest, here is the dead turtle I asked you to prepare that just died a day ago."

The old Taoist moved quickly and went to the kitchen to bring back a wooden basin.

Not long after, the Yellow Wind King disappeared from the backyard of the Wuzang Taoist Temple, and a turtle that had come back to life and was lying motionless on the ground appeared.

A living person turned into a turtle, everyone watched with curiosity. Although it was not the first time that Jin An used the animal-making technique, every time they saw the corrupt and magical power of the animal-making technique, they still couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. They were glad that the only two people in the world who knew how to make animals were friends and not enemies.

One of them was born in the Wuzang Taoist Temple, and the other was also subdued and entered the Wuzang Taoist Temple, abandoning darkness and joining the light.

If you offend someone who knows how to create animals, you will be turned into a confused animal for the rest of your life, which is more painful than death.

Previously, Jin An used Dao Qi to create animals for Yellow Wind King, which was a very bad idea. It consumed his Dao Qi every moment, and it was easy for him to reveal flaws when he was not around.

It's definitely not as good as using real turtles to create livestock.

Fatty Li then asked cautiously, "Master Jin'an, could this also be... a Feng Shui turtle?"

Huh? Jin An looked at Fatty Li in surprise and said, "Okay, Fatty Li, you guessed it so quickly. How did you know that I wanted to keep him in the Feng Shui pond of the Criminal Investigation Department as a Feng Shui turtle?"

Fatty Li smiled bitterly, "Because the nobleman beside the Queen has been turned into an idiot by you, Taoist Jin'an, and is still a feng shui turtle in the feng shui pond of the Criminal Investigation Department."

Uh.

Jinan was speechless.

The old Taoist priest, the old dog, and the big blue ox were all grinning. The old Taoist priest looked at Jin An with a teasing smile: "How can there be only a Feng Shui turtle in the Feng Shui pond? It will be even more perfect if we raise a few Feng Shui Koi fish in the future."

Listening to the old Taoist priest's words, Fatty Li seemed to have foreseen that one day in the near future, the Feng Shui pond of the Criminal Investigation Department would be filled with a pool of stupid turtles and fish.

Thinking that every time Jinan tried an idiot, Fatty Li began to sympathize with Jinan's enemies.

……

Then they talked about some details until they heard the sound of the night watchman outside the Taoist temple at the hour of Chou, and then they adjourned the meeting.

By the time they finished packing up, Xue Jian and the old Taoist went back to their room to rest, another half an hour had passed.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Jin'an used the eighteenth transformation of the Earth Walking Technique and left the capital, going deep into the mountains, and finally appeared in a hidden cave where he used to meditate.

Because it is located deep in the mountains and is sparsely populated, apart from the activities of wild animals in the mountains, almost no one can go so deep into the mountains. The layout of the cave is the same as before he left last time and has not changed.

After returning to Beijing for so many days, there has been no time to offer sacrifices to the mountain god's flesh and blood. Jin An first took out the dried flesh and blood of the mountain god and prepared to try to offer sacrifices...
