Holy Bone

Chapter 1700: Imitation Artifact: Emperor Bell of the True Lord Yisheng
In the next half month, two major events happened one after another.

First, Jin An personally went to Haizhou Prefecture to deal with the ghost ship and help his "crew" in the underworld collect the bodies to fulfill his promise.

Second, when Jin'an went to Haizhou to handle a case, True Person Qingxi also went out to sea, heading to the Guixu Divine Realm deep in the East China Sea outside Jiangzhou Prefecture, looking for the answers she wanted, and borrowed True Person Zaoxu for her own use.

The Shaoyang Bureau of the Four Symbols Bureau of Breaking Heaven and Earth in the East China Sea was broken, and Zaoxu Zhenren was involved, and he was familiar with many of the links involved.

The matter of borrowing people had been discussed long ago in the blessed land of Huoyan Mountain. The fact that Jin'an was not present at the Wuzang Taoist Temple did not affect Master Qingxi's borrowing of Master Zaoxu.

Third, Master Yiyun also started to take action and sent experts to search for the Gewu Immortal Cauldron in foreign lands overseas. Jin'an each wrote a letter to the Grand Elder of the Arab Kingdom and the Grand Leader of the Persian Kingdom.

At the same time, Jin An offered the ghost ship at the right time, allowing the masters sent by Master Yiyun to take the ghost ship to sea and help the crew send the corpses back home as a subpoena.

Young Master Yiyun did not refuse. Having a ghost ship to lead the way for her was actually the best outcome, as it would save her the trouble of finding her way in the vast ocean.

……

The night sky tonight is shrouded in dark clouds, and the moon appears and disappears from time to time, as if foreshadowing that there will be a storm.

That night.

Taoist temple of the five internal organs.

The old Taoist priest, who had been interpreting divinations for the endless stream of pilgrims all day, was now swinging his arm with a sore arm from holding bamboo sticks all day. He was holding a small exquisite teapot with his other hand, slurping tea to relieve his dry mouth. He sat in the backyard of the Taoist temple, gazing at the direction of the East China Sea, and sighed, "Little brother, do you think the fleets sent by True Man Qingxi and Master Yiyun to search for the Immortal Cauldron of Gewu will meet in the East China Sea?"

"Although True Man Qingxi set out earlier, the fleet sent by Master Yiyun departed from Haizhoufu and took the sea route, so they traveled faster."

As the old Taoist priest spoke, he took a few sips from the small teapot, enjoying the taste very much.

Jin An lowered his head to fiddle with something in his hands. He was too busy to look up and only answered briefly with two words: "No."

"Why?" asked the old Taoist priest.

Jin An was still busy and didn't even look up. He said, "Master Qingxi didn't even have time to say goodbye, which means he left in a hurry and was eager to enter the Guixu Divine Realm. Master Qingxi should take Master Zaoxu to travel quickly using the escape light, and they will reach the depths of the East China Sea in a day or two."

The old Taoist smacked his lips and continued to look towards the East China Sea: "I am really looking forward to their meeting in the East China Sea."

"Why?" Jin An finally raised his head this time and looked at the old Taoist priest who was sitting at the stone table in the backyard with his legs crossed. He also raised his hand and patted the old dog that was making trouble nearby.

The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist God, who was quietly guarding the gate outside the Taoist temple, also turned into a stream of light and flew into the backyard, his Taoist heart ignited by the fire of the Eight Diagrams.

The old Taoist priest chuckled and said, "That scene is quite lively."

"It's a pity that I'm not here."

Jin An was amused and laughed: "Old Taoist, if you really want to go out to sea with the fleet, it is not impossible. I can use the 'gifting technique' to send you to the fleet a thousand miles away."

The old Taoist priest looked at what Jin An was busy with, coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Little brother, you are fiddling with the bronze antiques in the yard. Are you doing the same as the last time you imitated the Qin Wang Bone Mirror? Which ancient artifact are you going to imitate this time?"

He was just talking too much. If he really had to travel with the fleet on the sea for several months or even half a year, his old body would have been half dead.

At this time, several large wooden boxes were stacked in the backyard of the Taoist temple. Some of them had been opened, revealing bronze artifacts mixed with hay inside.

These bronze artifacts are at least thousands of years old. Some are still covered in dirt and smell like dirt. Some are in very poor condition, with cracks or thick patina, indicating improper preservation. There are several large wooden boxes filled with these thousand-year-old bronze artifacts in the backyard of the Taoist temple. According to Fatty Li, these bronze antiques would not even be considered a problem in the Beijing antique black market or among tomb robbers.

There is never a shortage of wealthy people or people who collect antiques in the capital city. In addition, as an ancient capital of successive dynasties, there is no shortage of large tombs and ancient tombs. There are many people from all walks of life, and all kinds of antiques that cannot see the light of day.

The last time Fatty Li led his men to crack down on the black market of tomb robbers in Beijing, only a few months later, these scoundrels revived again and he seized a lot of antiques.

The confiscated antiques are definitely more than what we see here. All of the items here are old bronze artifacts with a history of more than a thousand years, mostly bronze swords, bronze halberds, bronze horses, ritual vessels, musical instruments and other small objects.

Bronze antiques that are too valuable or too rare will not appear on the market and are mostly traded privately.

Jin An nodded in response to the old Taoist's curiosity: "The last time I imitated the Qin King's bone mirror, it gave me some experience. This time I plan to imitate the Emperor's Bell."

When the old Taoist heard about the Emperor Bell, he was shocked and immediately became alert. His arms were no longer sore and his mouth was no longer thirsty. He said seriously, "But is it the Emperor Bell artifact of the Four Saints of the North Pole?"

"But little brother, what about the Emperor Bell artifact that you used to seal the God's Bone in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land?"

This Emperor Bell is not only a magic weapon of the Four Saints of the North Pole, but also an important instrument in Taoism that is used in important rituals.

This imperial bell has a different meaning in Taoism, so the old Taoist priest treats it so seriously.

Jin An was still selecting the bronze antiques and nodded, "It is this divine artifact, the Emperor Bell."

After getting Jin'an's confirmation, the old Taoist took a deep breath, and all his emotions turned into six words: "Little brother! You are awesome!"

If it was an imitation of the common imperial bell magic instrument among the people, the old Taoist priest would not be so surprised. The imperial bell that Jin'an wanted to imitate was the one that was closest to the real artifact, which was why he was surprised.

At this time, the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue also came over and said, "Martial Dao Immortal, Fatty Li was able to confiscate these bronze artifacts so smoothly this time. This Taoist has made great contributions."

"It's not too much to exchange the Emperor Bell artifact for a few of your fourth realm practitioners' eyeballs, right?"

The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord asked for credit, and the thousand eyes on its body moved cunningly, taking the opportunity to bargain with Jin An.

"Pfft, cough cough."

"Cough cough cough."

Before Jin'an could respond, the old Taoist priest who was drinking tea from a small teapot was choked by the breath of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist statue.

“If you, Taoist Thousand Eyes, are not the reincarnation of Taotie, I, the old Taoist, would be the first to disagree. You are not even in the fourth realm, yet you are so arrogant that you think eating food in the fourth realm is as easy as eating soybeans.” The old Taoist was still choking and coughing.

The Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue said shamelessly: "Didn't I just help the martial arts immortal obtain an Emperor Bell artifact? The fourth realm is not even as good as a dog's tail grass in front of the Emperor Bell artifact."

At this time, Lian Jinan couldn't listen any more and stared at him speechlessly: "You are a stone statue, you only need to eat the incense and the mist. I will burn some incense for you some other day."

"If you think the incense is too weak, I'll burn a few sticks of lard incense for you, would you like to try some meat?"

The old Taoist priest clapped his legs and laughed: "I know this idiom, it's 'the heart is blinded by lard and the mind is blind'."
