Holy Bone

Chapter 1637 The more people die in the world, the more turbulent the underworld becomes

The identity feature of the Five Internal Organs Taoist robe was too obvious, so Jin An specially wore the Five Internal Organs Taoist robe inside out before leaving the Taoist temple.

The back of Wu Zang's Taoist robe was covered with cinnabar scriptures, which were the "Duren Sutra" plus the Five Thunders to Slay Evil Talisman and the Six Ding and Six Jia Talisman.

Cinnabar is bright red, and the "Duren Jing" copied in cinnabar can be easily mistaken for a blood-colored Taoist robe if you look at it casually from a distance.

So, when a headless Taoist priest, wearing a blood-red Taoist robe with scriptures on it, came out of the Wuzang Taoist Temple and walked on the incense-filled avenue lined with temples of gods and ghosts and filled with the atmosphere of the underworld, one can imagine the horror that other people who were walking in the underworld felt when they saw the headless Jin'an from afar, and they could only hide and observe from a distance.

As the ancient capital of several dynasties, it was destroyed by wars several times and rebuilt after the wars. Every building in the underworld capital is a stacked building rising from countless ruins.

The same is true for the ghost and god temples on Xianghuo Avenue. Each ghost and god temple was built on the ruins of an old ghost and god temple.

This is an ever-repeating process of replacing old gods and establishing new gods.

This is true of the imperial family in the hearts of the people, and it is also true of their belief in ghosts and gods.

Every era has its own new beliefs, including Taoist temples and monasteries. This includes the location of the Wuzang Taoist Temple, which also rose up on the top of countless ruins.

There is nothing eternal and unchanging in this world.

Even the river of time, which has consumed countless new and old gods, is constantly moving forward and changing.

Therefore, there are many unwilling ghosts and monsters hidden in the Avenue of Incense. These ghosts and monsters lurk in the dark, spying on every living person who breaks into the Avenue of Incense with resentment and curses.

Some of these ghosts and monsters come from ruined Taoist temples, some come from ruined monasteries, some come from ruined Indian temples, ruined Rakshasa temples, ruined Nanman wizard temples, and so on.

Only when there are temples with prosperous incense in the world of the living can the ruins in the underworld be peaceful. The prosperous incense is like a mountain pressing down on the ruins at the feet, and not many evil spirits and ghosts dare to show up rampantly.

pat.

pat.

Headless Jin'an walked on the empty Incense Avenue, his footsteps clear and echoing far away on the empty and quiet avenue, and on both sides of him were tall ruins. He was like walking alone in a dark abyss. There were gusts of cold wind on the Incense Avenue, and from time to time, paper money was blown up into the sky, ashes in the copper basins at the intersection, unburned incense and candles on both sides of the street, and some coffins piled up in the ruins of the temple occasionally made a few strange sounds, and there was a cold breath lingering.

In contrast to these dark ruins, the Wuzang Taoist Temple with its flickering incense and candles in the dark night has become a soul-guiding lamp in the underworld, a ray of light in the darkness.

And a headless Taoist priest wearing blood-red scriptures walking on such a gloomy and spooky road makes the scene even more terrifying and eerie.

The cold and gloomy auras hidden in the ruins were attracted by the empty footsteps and paid attention to Headless Jinan one by one. Until Headless Jinan walked out of the Incense Avenue safely, no hidden ghosts or gods attacked Headless Jinan.

Perhaps it was these old ghosts and gods abandoned by the people in the underworld that recognized Headless Jin'an as their own kind.

When Headless Jin'an was about to exit the Incense Avenue, he suddenly stopped and his headless body turned in one direction.

On the ruins of the stacked buildings in that direction, there stood a Taoist temple. The light of incense and candles in the temple flickered. An old Taoist priest stood in the temple, frowning and staring at Headless Jin'an with an alert look on his face.

Wutou Jin'an recognized the old Taoist priest. He was the former abbot of the Fugong Taoist Temple in the world of the living. He didn't expect to meet this old abbot coming to the world of the dead today.

Out of the customary etiquette between fellow Taoists, Wutou Jinan subconsciously performed a double fist bow, with his left hand clasping his right hand, raised in front of his chest, standing without bowing, which was the standard Taoist fist bow. The left hand represents good, the right hand represents evil, and the left hand clasping the right hand implies promoting good and concealing evil, being humble and friendly.

After Headless Jin'an saluted, he realized that he was now a demon in the eyes of living people. It was his first time walking in the world without a head, and there were many details he had not yet adapted to. However, he did not stop saluting, but continued to bow openly.

He has a clear conscience, so why would he act secretly, covertly, or like a cowardly rat?

The old abbot of the Fugong Taoist Temple, who had just walked out of the Yinyin Room, was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously raised his hand and made the Taoist fist salute in return.

Perhaps even he did not expect that he would be treated with such courtesy by a headless Taoist priest from the underworld.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Wutou Jin'an continued to walk out of the Incense Avenue with a green candle lantern in his hand.

The old abbot of the Fugong Taoist Temple had a solemn expression on his face, staring at the back of Headless Jin'an. He still couldn't tell the depth of the other party's cultivation until Headless Jin'an completely disappeared.

While walking in the underworld, he encountered a headless Taoist priest whose level of cultivation was unknown. He bowed to him in a friendly manner. Today's experience felt quite bizarre to the old temple master.

He wanted to follow him to find out where Wutou Jin'an was going, but on the one hand, he had other purposes for this trip, and on the other hand, Wutou Jin'an's cultivation level made him wary, so he finally gave up this option.

The unexpected encounter with the old abbot of the Fugong Taoist Temple was just a small episode. As soon as Wutou Jin'an left the Avenue of Incense, he met another pair of Yin-Yang masters.

The two men seemed to be fellow apprentices, and were driving a corpse in the underworld. The corpse was covered with wounds, and it looked like they had died a violent death, hacked to death by someone.

It seems that this pair of Yin-Yang masters have taken on jobs from their relatives in the world of the living.

The relatives couldn't find the body in the world of the living, so they entrusted it to a fortune teller. Then the two of them came to the underworld to search for the burial place and help the world of the living to track down the murderer.

Driving corpses in the underworld capital city was already extremely nerve-wracking, and they suddenly met a headless Taoist priest on the road, which really scared them. They looked as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Headless Jin'an did not stop and continued walking towards the outside of the underworld capital.

“Brother, is that headless Taoist priest a living person who has gone to the underworld, or a demon from the underworld? His cultivation is so deep that it is unfathomable! You and I are both in the late second realm. Even if we face a master of the third realm, we may not feel that we cannot see through him at all…”

"Don't say too much. Hurry up and finish your journey to the underworld and return to the living world. Since the advent of the Great Strife, too many people have died, and the world is becoming increasingly unstable. Not only is the living world affected, but the underworld is also unstable. Every time you go to the underworld, you encounter strange things!"

The two brothers hurriedly drove the corpse away.

Their entire conversation was heard by Headless Jin'an. Even a Yin-Yang master at the second level could feel that the underworld was not peaceful, and Jin'an felt it even more clearly. In such a short distance, he encountered people walking in the underworld one after another.

The more people die in the world of the living, the more turbulent the underworld becomes. He clearly felt that the atmosphere in the underworld capital this time was a little more gloomy than before.

He knew that this was because the seal of the Four Symbols Bureau of Breaking the Sky and the Earth had been broken, many people had died in the capital city, many more souls had become obsessed with the underworld, and some deeply hidden ghosts and gods were gradually reviving.
