Holy Bone

Chapter 1692: Turning danger into fortune? Blowing out the lights
Actually.

It would be possible to return to the world of the living by borrowing a ghost ship, go back to Yanghaizhou, and then return to the capital from Haizhou Prefecture.

However, the ghost ship under his feet was formed from the obsessions of the dead on the ghost ships in the world of the living, and could only appear in the underworld.

Moreover, he is now headless, with an empty space on his neck without a head. If he walks around in the world with his current identity, he will be seen as a ghost in the eyes of the world. He will be the target of the righteous way of exorcising demons and monsters, and will bring unnecessary trouble.

And because of his headless identity, he couldn't even enter the city gates of the capital.

There are three major religions in the capital city, and there are also many Taoist temples and Buddhist temples. Before they get close to the capital city, they are the first to be exorcised and defended.

Even if he really got in, the risk of exposing his identity in the mortal world would increase. As long as someone with ulterior motives saw him entering the capital, the scope of the pursuit would be narrowed, and it wouldn't take long to find him in the Wuzang Taoist Temple.

It is precisely because of so many factors that this plan can only be an alternative.

Trying to find a way back to the capital of the underworld is the first choice in the current environment.

Three days later, Wutou Jinan followed a river that flowed into the sea, sailed upstream, and successfully found the main river channel that could lead deep into the inland.

Soon another problem arose. The ghost ship was a sea ship, not a river ship. Sea ships have a deep draft, and the river cannot accommodate the ship. The bottom of the ship was pressed against the riverbed, so it could not move.

Thanks to his being a Shinto master and the help of Erlang Zhenjun's water talisman, the ghost ship was able to be safely withdrawn. If it were a Shinto master with less strength, it would definitely not be possible to withdraw such a large ship so easily.

Fortunately, there are many trees on both sides of the river. He can cut down the trees and build a simple raft to cross the river. He doesn't necessarily need a huge boat to travel.

The inland rivers are calm, unlike the sea where there are strong winds and waves, so a raft is enough to travel.

He had several experiences of using wooden rafts and bamboo rafts in the underworld, so he could be said to have extensive experience. So he had replacement means of transportation and a map of the route to the destination. Everything was ready, and he was just waiting to return to the capital of the underworld.

However, before leaving, Wutou Jin'an continued to recite the "Sutra of Saving People" for the human-skinned souls rescued from the exile prisoner ship, trying to save the souls of these victims and to do his best to help these poor souls have a chance to reincarnate as humans.

This is what is called having a beginning and an end, and having a good beginning and a good end. Since we have rescued these souls from the prison ship, we must save them to the end.

Avenue induction!

A thousand virtues!
A thousand virtues!
A thousand virtues!
……

This ritual for the salvation of the souls lasted for two days before it ended. Thousands of people were skinned alive, and millions of merits were accumulated there.

"Pity……"

Headless Jinan stood at the stern, looking at the battlefield between the giant corpse of the god and the human-made gods and demons in the distance, and uttered a sigh of regret.

He felt sorry for the people on the plague ship and the sacrificial ship. According to his original plan, after resolving the mountain god crisis, he would capture all the people on the two ships and interrogate them one by one about their identities and purposes, so as to learn more about the truth from more than ten years ago.

These Shinto masters have been tracking down the ghost ship and actively looking for the whereabouts of the Gewu Immortal Cauldron. They must know more about the inside story of what happened over the past decade.

What a pity, after so many days, he still hasn't seen any of these people survive.

It was unknown whether he was watching the battle from the other side of the Nether Sea, or was destroyed by the giant corpse of the god at the beginning. He had 72 transformations of water entry, and 6 million Yin De-level Erlang Zhenjun water commanding talismans. He got into danger several times during the water escape. Others who did not have such a rich foundation would find it even more difficult to escape.

As for Headless Jin'an personally, he hoped that the other party could survive and not die at the hands of the giant corpse of the god, so that he could capture these people and interrogate them about all the truth from more than ten years ago.

In fact, when Headless Jin'an was saving the souls on human skins in the past few days, the ghost ship he was riding on was also saved, and a lot of resentment and evil spirits were saved by him.

The most intuitive manifestation is the blood seeping out from the gaps in the deck, which is not as much as at the beginning.

Although there is still blood oozing out.

However, as a hardworking sailor, he went from cleaning the blood once or twice a day in the beginning to only cleaning it once a day now.

This is also the reason why he brought the skins of those on the prison ship back to the ghost ship for salvation, so as to subtly enlighten the ghost ship and quietly resolve the resentment and obsession.

After all, he had just boarded the ship passively at that time, so converting quietly could avoid the tense atmosphere.

From the moment the ghost ship returned to the prison ship to rescue him, he decided to save the souls on this ship.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Wutou Jinan burned incense and lit candles on the deck of the ship, placed a few plates of tribute, and his clear voice spread throughout the ghost ship: "Dear donors, would you be willing to give me a chance to help you resolve your unresolved obsessions in the world of the living?"

"I already know who the culprit hiding on the ship is. I will find the culprit hiding on the ship, help you calm your resentment, and give you justice and the truth."

"I know you can't bear to part with your loved ones who are thousands of miles away. I can send your ashes across the ocean back to your hometown and give them to your loved ones."

"I know that you have failed to exorcise the demon, and you do not want to leave a scourge behind to continue to harm others, so you have chosen to voluntarily drift in the endless ocean and exile yourself, in order to prevent the source of the scourge hiding on the boat from coming ashore. Now that I have found who the source of the scourge is, I will complete the last step of exorcism in the world of the living and kill the source of the scourge."

"Everyone, can you trust me?"

"If you trust me and let me go ashore, I will give you justice in the world of the living."

Headless Jin'an raised his hand and pointed at the soul lamp, confessing that he was a ghost from the mortal world, and that he came here to investigate the truth of the case. He recounted the whole cause of the incident in detail, hoping to exchange sincerity for sincerity.

With his strength, he could force the reincarnation without any reasoning. This ghost ship couldn't stop him from getting off the ship. He didn't do that. He wanted to get along with the invisible crew in a peaceful way.

Evil people will be punished by evil people, and good people should be treated well. One should not repay kindness with resentment.

The boat was quiet and empty, with no one on board, and no one stood up to respond to him.

We didn't have to wait too long before a breeze suddenly blew up on the boat, causing the soul-guiding lantern hanging beside the headless Jin'an to sway slightly.

call!
Then the green candle flame flickered, burning brighter and brighter, no longer dim.

It was as if there were many invisible people adding oil and fire to the white candles in the lanterns, helping them to burn vigorously so that they could illuminate the farther night road and wish you a safe journey.

At this time, silence is better than words. Wutou Jinan has understood the intentions of the people on the boat. He clasped his fists and bowed, saying solemnly: "Thank you all for your trust. I will definitely complete the three things I promised today. Wait for news from the world of the living. There will be news in the next few days."
