Holy Bone

Chapter 262

"Mother!"

The old Taoist was surprised and forgot that he was still underwater.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was choked up several times, and he struggled under the water.

Seeing the old Taoist choking on the water, Jin An didn't have time to think about the intentions of the Water Goddess, and hurriedly put away a few things floating in the water, and dragged the old Taoist to the surface of the water together with the sword.

cough--

Cough cough--

When everyone landed on the shore, they coughed violently, breathing in the fresh air on the shore with the rest of their lives, and lying on the shore without any image.

At this time, everyone was exhausted and had no strength to move a finger, only the chest was heaving violently.

The narrow escape along the way drained all the energy of the group, and now they really don't have the strength to move any more, they just want to lie on the shore and have a good sleep, even if the sky falls, I don't want to move up.

And it wasn't until their bodies were completely relaxed that they realized that they were sore all over, and there were bruises on many places on their bodies, all of which were caused by the impact in the underground river.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

The old Taoist coughed for a long time, coughing up all the water that had choked into his lungs, and finally he was able to speak. The first thing he said was to pour bitter water on Jin'an: "It is said that there are three major hardships in life, and it's hard to beat the iron with a boat." Selling tofu, because you have to get up early and stay late every day to make a living. I think the old man should add more hardships. It is not easy for tomb robbers to steal a tomb.

"Little brother, old man, I feel like I've been choked by the water, half my life has been lost."

"Okay, stop talking, I looked at the moonlight above my head, it will be dawn soon, you and Mr. Yi, old man, quickly confirm where we are now, so that we can rush back to Dragon King Terrace to meet other people."

Jin An's words reminded everyone that those big iron cavalry guards who collapsed on the shore exhausted after a series of narrow escapes had already got up and stood in line with serious military discipline without the order of the general captain.

These iron cavalry guards are indeed worthy of being the personal soldiers trained by General Duwei himself, and they are all elite soldiers among elite soldiers.

At this time, everyone noticed that there was a flat lake in front of them, and they came out from the bottom of the lake just now.

Although the mountains after nightfall are only as dark as the outlines of giant beasts, they all look the same, but it is not difficult for Fengshui masters and old Taoists who know feng shui and can look up at the sky and look down at geography.

After identifying the position of the astrology, the two quickly located the position at this time.

They have a big deviation from Longwangtai. They have to follow the river in the mountains, find the mouth of the river, and walk back on the mountain road for more than 20 miles before returning to Longwangtai.

Everyone was worried about long nights and dreams. Regardless of their tired bodies and hungry stomachs, they rushed on the road all night with great energy. Along the way, they could barely satisfy their hunger with the soaked, white and swollen noodles in the cowhide bags.

"Mr. Jin'an, why do I feel that the Goddess of Water is very familiar with you? After she saw Mr. Jin'an, she didn't kill us, but gave you a gift, Mr. Jin'an instead?"

On the way, the wailer brothers struggled to eat the bread that was swollen with water, tasteless like chewing wax, and ran all night in the tomb. After their hungry stomachs finally had something to fill, everyone thought about it. Time, the mourner asked Jin An curiously.

As a result, before Jin An could answer, the old Taoist priest who had recovered from the shadow of choking water winked and said, "You can see it too, hey, old Taoist, when I first met the Water Goddess in the hanging coffin burial canyon, I also I can see it."

Then the old Taoist told everyone how Jin'an met the Water Goddess on the first day he came to Fucheng.

Of course, the old Taoist priest was not stupid enough to reveal the fact that Jin An had injured Xiao Hanba in the shadows.

After hearing what the old Taoist said, everyone looked at Jin An in surprise.

That admiration, the awe-inspiring look, was just a thumbs up and admiration, Daoist Jin'an, you are really awesome.

Jin An glared at the talkative old Taoist priest, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, this matter is not as complicated as everyone thinks. I think the Water Goddess should just repay her kindness."

"She fell into the water and drowned, and was married back to the Dragon Palace by the Dragon King to be the Goddess of Water. She was killed by the Dragon King. I killed the Dragon King today, and it is normal for her to repay her kindness."

The younger brother who had the most problems among the mourners nodded after listening to Jin An's words: "But I just think that Taoist Elder Jin'an is awesome."

Jin An: "?"

After all, Jin An almost killed Xiao Hanba, the son of the Goddess of Water, and he was a bit guilty, so he didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he changed the topic: "Speaking of which, the Lord of Teng Kingdom was killed by the four dry bones of Dragon King Terrace. He was nailed to death under the Yinyi River, how did he escape the fire and fire and find us for revenge?"

Mr. Feng Shui nodded thoughtfully: "The Lord of Teng Kingdom was able to get rid of the drought bone pile and the fire and fire disaster. It should be related to the underworld ferryman monkey who finally detonated the corpse pill and caused the main tomb to collapse..."

"As for the specific changes that happened, it is not known to us outsiders. I am afraid that only the dead Teng Kingdom Lord knows."

At this time, even General Du Wei was curious to join the topic: "Mr. Yi, what is the flesh and blood pearl that the Lord of Teng Kingdom spit out from his mouth at the last moment? Could it be also a corpse pill?"

Mr. Feng Shui frowned and thought for a while, and replied: "I think everyone has heard that the rulers and emperors of all dynasties, in their old age, will seek Taoism and medicine, longing to eat elixir, and live forever."

"The lord of the Teng Kingdom is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he can't let go of the glory and wealth in his lifetime. He will definitely not let go of looking for medicine to ask for longevity."

"He has a lot of soldiers and horses under his command. He must have searched a lot of precious herbs and eaten a lot of panacea in famous mountains and rivers during his lifetime. Otherwise, it would be impossible to refine so many highly poisonous dregs and hide them in his nine sons. The body is inside..."

"And the real best elixir was naturally left to him by the Lord of the Teng Kingdom. This is in line with his selfish and exclusive character. Because there are amber stones, corpse suppressing tablets, and soul nourishing wood to nourish his body. And the soul, to ensure that the body will not rot for a thousand years, the panacea that he took into his stomach, perhaps because it was nourished by the corpse energy for thousands of years, it finally turned into a real corpse pill."

"These are just my personal conjectures. I don't know what the specific truth is."

Mr. Feng Shui talked while walking.

Even though the mountain road was rough, his heart still didn't beat and he couldn't breathe.

The breath is steady.

From this look, it can be seen that a master who pays attention to nourishing qi on weekdays has already succeeded in nourishing qi.

On the other hand, although the old Taoist also practiced Qi, he was not so calm and relaxed.

On the rugged mountain road, I was out of breath all the way.

From time to time, I have to stop to remove the mud in the mountains from the soles that weigh a few kilograms.

The old Taoist feels more like an ordinary person.

An ordinary wandering old Taoist priest who knows a little more Taoism than ordinary people.

"It's a pity, even though we have crushed the Dragon King, we still haven't been able to see the real appearance of the Dragon King in the end. Is it the face of the sole of a shoe?"

"Old Daoist, before I went to the tomb, I was always curious about what the folk rumored Dragon King looked like, and I always wanted to see the real face."

The old Taoist took off his shoes, leaned on the big tree to dig out the mud with a branch, and patted the mud that fell into his shoes on the tree trunk, then put on his shoes again and continued to catch up with everyone.

That's what the old Taoist said.

Everyone felt somewhat regretful.

When they first met the Lord of the Teng Kingdom, the Lord of the Teng Kingdom was covered with dragon scales and jade armor, tightly covering his body.

When Jin An broke the amber stone, the Lord of Teng Kingdom burned himself on fire again, turning into a blood corpse with no good skin all over his body.

From the beginning to the end, I have never seen the real face of the Teng Kingdom Lord who was known as the reincarnation of the real dragon thousands of years ago.

……

……

The mountain road of twenty or thirty miles is not easy to walk, even if Jin An and the others are strong and vigorous, until the first white belly appears at the end of the sky, the sun rises in the east, and when dawn comes, they are still a mountain away from the Dragon King Terrace.

suddenly.

Rumbling, the earth shook, and the sky and the earth roared.

"what sound?"

The team stopped.

But not long after, everyone's complexion changed, the deafening sound of the river broke the silence of dawn, the turbid waves emptied, and came surging, like a yellow turbid dragon entering the river, shaking and roaring.

It is the Yinyi River that has stopped flowing, and the water level has risen again.

When he saw the surging river rushing past his eyes, the captain's expression changed.

"I have an appointment with the Dragon King Temple. If we don't see us go out of the Thousand Corpse Cave and go ashore, we will never let the Yinyi River flood! Not good! Something happened to the Dragon King Temple!"

The captain's face darkened, and everyone didn't dare to delay on the road any longer. Jin An picked up the old Taoist priest, brushed his body, and leaped out in the dense forest like a mountain leopard, without seeing his back for a moment.

The rest of the people followed at full speed.

When they arrived at the Dragon King Terrace, they saw that it was a mess. There were many wounded soldiers lying on the bank, screaming and screaming. The Dragon King Temple and the four dry bone piles were all destroyed.

With so many people from Jin'an appearing in the Dragon King Terrace, there was a lot of movement, which immediately attracted the attention of the guards of the Dragon King Terrace.

"All... Captain?"

"Captain, are you still alive?"

"Captain, are you a human...or a ghost? Isn't the Cave of Thousand Corpses flooded by the Yinyi River..."

When the guards saw the captain who came back alive, the three monks of Bailong Temple, the priests of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, and the cavalry guards, their faces were pale with shock, and they were not sure.

"Say!"

"What the hell happened here?"

"Why did the water in the Yinyi River rise again before we returned to the Dragon King Temple? Did something happen to Xiao Hanba?"

The captain looked at the devastated and wounded soldiers in front of him, his eyes were about to burst into flames with anger. At this moment, the captain's face was terribly gloomy.

These are elite soldiers brought out by him.

He just went to the Thousand Corpse Cave and killed and injured so many elite brothers, so why isn't he angry, his eyes seemed to be bursting with anger.

The captain's face is only gloomy now, and he has not lost his reason and calmness. His demeanor is already well-preserved. His ten fingers hidden in his sleeve robe are clenched tightly, and the phalanges are pinched. anger.

Seeing the wounded soldiers, the old Taoist priest and the three monks of Bailong Temple also changed their expressions, and then took out the golden sore medicine, took the initiative to set bones, stop the bleeding, and cooperated with the doctor to treat the wounded.

In terms of bone healing, the old Taoist priests and the three monks of Bailong Temple are not weaker than those doctors who run medical clinics.

It wasn't until this moment that the guards were finally convinced that the captain in front of them was a living person, not a dead person who was drowned in the cave of thousands of corpses. These iron-blooded soldiers who were still in shock immediately flushed their eyes and burst into tears, begging General Duwei must avenge his brothers.

Hey.

Jin An, who was originally complacent about calming down the Dragon King, sighed depressingly when he saw the tragic situation in front of him.

Soon, everyone knew what happened.

It turned out that the reason why the group of antique dealers didn't all go to the ancient tomb this time was because their goal from the beginning was not simply to capture the Tengguo artifact and divide the water drops.

These antique merchants were divided into two groups, all the way mixed into their ranks, and used their hands to break through the layers of mechanisms in the main tomb, waiting for an opportunity to snatch the Tengguo artifact from the corpse of the Tengguo lord.

And the other passer-by, not long ago, suddenly attacked and besieged the Dragon King Temple, and there was also a mysterious Taoist master in the Yinyi River who was in charge of suppressing and controlling Xiaohanba Duanjiang.

Calculated in terms of time, it was almost the time when Jin'an broke the amber stone of the Lord of Teng, the Lord of Teng fell into a catastrophe and burned himself, and the monkey snatched water from the Lord of Teng's body.

Now it all makes sense.

Why did he kill the monkey, but failed to find the water-dividing beads on the monkey? At that time, there was another person in the tomb with the water-dividing beads and escaped smoothly.

After the man escaped from the ancient tomb, as soon as the antique merchants who were ambushing outside picked up his accomplices, they immediately launched a surprise attack on the imperial guards.

Although the mysterious Taoist master who can control the little Hanba is powerful, under the siege of several people, especially those antique dealers took advantage of the other party's sympathy for ordinary people, massacred ordinary soldiers, and then took advantage of the opportunity to besieged and wounded mysterious people. The master Taoist robbed the coffin containing the little Hanba.

That is to say, the Tengguo artifact, the water droplet, and the little Hanba, are all now acquired by those antique dealers.

Everyone was still immersed in the joy of annihilating the antique merchants in the tomb, but now there is nothing left. Although Jin'an and the others killed many masters of the opponent, the group of antique merchants also got what they wanted.

As the guards talked, they couldn't help crying again.

They thought that even the captain and the others died in the tomb, and the masters on their side were wiped out.

"Bastard! These people really don't deserve to die!"

After listening to the cause and effect, the captain finally could no longer suppress the burning anger in his heart.

"These thieves dare to attack and kill the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, openly confronting the imperial court! Check it out for me. Immediately blockade the entire territory of Wuzhou Prefecture, check every city and every pool! Even if you dig three feet, you have to dig out these things for me!" A hideout for thieves!"

"Wang Guang, you take a group of people and rush to Fucheng to see if Lord Fuyin is okay. You use my soldier talisman to mobilize the remaining cavalry brothers in the barracks to protect Lord Fuyin! I am worried that since those thieves dare to If they attack us, they will also attack Lord Fuyin, only by disturbing the muddy waters in Wuzhou Prefecture, they will have a chance to escape from Wuzhou Prefecture!"

General Du Wei issued military orders one after another.

The morale was sluggish and the soldiers on the scene who had lost their backbone immediately rekindled their morale and found their backbone at once. With a sound of hello, everyone began to act resolutely.

"Daoist Jin'an, the abbot, and everyone, I'm sorry, I'm afraid this celebration banquet for the suppression of the Dragon King case will not be available for a short time. Thank you all for visiting.”

"Don't worry, everyone, the court will never break its promise."

General Duwei clasped his fists, and apologized to Jin'an, the abbot of Bailong Temple and the others one by one.

……

Who would have thought.

It hasn't been long since they landed, and they are actually facing so many successive changes.

Jin An and the others understood the captain's heavy heart at this time. After staying and treating all the wounded, everyone said goodbye to each other and left the Dragon King Temple with their exhausted bodies.

Mr. Feng Shui left with Jin An, the old Taoist priest, and Jianjian. After all, the Taoist temple of the five internal organs is full of old men. It is not suitable for the witch to stay at night. The witch first returned to her own residence to recuperate.

When there were only four of them left on the road, Mr. Feng Shui said surprisingly: "Young Master Jin'an, I was in the tomb before, because there were so many people, so I can't say more."

"Actually, my wife already guessed about those people before we went to the tomb, why they are so contrived to grab the national artifact to divide the water beads..."

"The Immortal Corpse Jie was born, and the map of Luo Gengyu was born. They should have their eyes on the Paradise of Paradise that is about to be opened..."

"The Paradise of Paradise has been silent for too long, and the first Paradise of Paradise to be opened this time is a bit special. My wife happens to know a little bit about the situation. Those people came prepared to snatch the water drops."

The World of Great Contest is coming soon!
