Holy Bone

Chapter 429 Arriving in Guchi Country (5k Chapter)

Jin An shook his head: "This new hole was not made by explosives, it should have been shattered by an earthquake."

Yali stared blankly: "Earthquake?"

Jin An explained: "If the hole was blown out by explosives, there should be traces of scorching or black smoke. You can see that there are no traces of explosives in this hole, so I guess it was cracked by an earthquake."

"Yari, has there been an earthquake in the desert recently?"

"It seems that this hole is still very new, it should have been in recent years."

After thinking about it, Yari shook his head, saying that he had never heard of an earthquake in the desert.

At this time, the lighter and more agile sheep walked in the front happily all the way, and Jin An called the sheep over just as they came out of the cave.

"Old Sadiq, young Sahafu, and Ilham, I entrust you with a task. Ask those sand robber camels whether there has been an earthquake in the depths of the desert in recent years. Those sand robbers roam the desert all year round. Go looting, the most well-informed, you should know something."

After Jin An ordered to go down, he took advantage of the time when the team was gradually leaving the cave, and climbed up to the top of the mountain to see the surrounding environment.

In fact, this is an inconspicuous sand dune in the desert. If it is not for the discovery of a hole, no one will find that there is actually a short mountain under the sand dune.

The dwarf mountain is not high, so you can climb to the top soon, and you can see only the boundless sand sea around you. As for the desert sea, you can’t even see a shadow, and you can’t see where it came from. It’s like stepping into a devil abandoned by God. desert.

Jin An looked at it for a while, and finally went down the mountain with a frown.

Old Sadiq and the others quickly inquired about the news. As soon as Jin'an came, Old Sadie's head came closer: "Master Jin'an, we found out that there was indeed an earthquake in the depths of the desert recently, and there were several aftershocks, but they were all small. Earthquake. It may also be due to the distance, so the earthquake is not obvious."

"Oh, by the way, the earthquake happened half a year ago, and shortly after the earthquake, there was the once-in-a-century sandstorm and drought."

Seeing Jin An frowned in thought after finishing speaking, old Sadik asked curiously, "What's wrong with Taoist Master Jin An?"

Jin An looked at the bone mountain behind the eye hole and said, "Do you still remember that rumor in the desert?"

"Six months ago, someone found a giant corpse with a human face that was as huge as a camel in the depths of the desert. The place we came out of was another mass grave. Now I suspect that the giant corpse with a human face was torn apart by the earthquake. ran out of the cave!"

"Then he was blown into the sky by a sandstorm, and finally died somewhere else!"

At this time, Su Reti and the others were still driving the camels out. After the [-]-odd camel team finally walked out of the Zangshi Ridge, it was getting late and the sun could only be seen halfway in the sky. Jin An urged everyone to go down the mountain to find A place to camp and rest.

It's getting late now, thinking that resting in the ancient city of Guchi Kingdom is impossible, so I can only find a temporary place nearby to rest.

Jin An mentioned several times in Zangshi Ridge that he should try to go out before dark, and now that he came out, he urged everyone to stay away from Zangshi Ridge as much as possible. Someone asked Jin An curiously if he found anything, and why he left the Tibetan corpse in such a hurry. Corpse Ridge.

Jin An said solemnly: "Don't you always ask why the evil spirits can be attacked in the holy mountain of Guchi Kingdom during the day? There are too many dead people in this corpse ridge, and the yin is too heavy. You can see unclean things during the day, and I'm afraid there will be evil things at night." There are more ominous happenings."

At a moment or so after dark, the team finally found a temporary place to rest. It was a concave surface between two dunes, which was just right for shelter from the desert wind and sand at night.

Although they entered the holy mountain of Guchi Kingdom for only one day, they lived like years in that deep cave. Once they left the sacred mountain of Guchi Kingdom, they set foot on the desert land again down-to-earth. , everyone lit a bonfire, ate warm naan bread and goat's milk, took out musical instruments, and sang and danced.

Even the sky is beautiful, the starry night tonight is very clear, and the wind and sand have become much smaller. It is said that this is the Devil's Desert, and there is no danger as imagined.

In the second half of the night, when the night was dark and everyone gradually rested, Jin'an found the four goats who were licking the goats: "Adik, Sahafu, and Ilham, I will keep this Five Thunder Slaying Evil Talisman by the goats. With the yellow talisman in hand, ordinary devils would not dare to provoke this team."

"Don't ask, just listen to what I have to say. I plan to go to the holy mountain of Guchi Kingdom at night. I don't want to see what kind of fierce place that place is at night. I'm always a little bit unwilling, so this trip I will definitely go."

After Jin An finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the goat, and warned: "Silly sheep, I hang this yellow talisman around your neck, don't spit on me and chew it up, or you will only see it tomorrow." Roast lamb kidney!"

The goat refused.

Grumpy comes up.

One sheep and one person hammered each other a few times, and the silly sheep was willing to honestly ask Jin An to hang the yellow talisman around his neck.

After explaining this, Jin An approached Yali and Su Reti, who were in charge of the night watch, and also told them not to run around the campfire, and started to sneak towards the Tibetan Corpse Ridge quickly.

Jin An leaped forward all the way, and suddenly, his figure stopped.

Still far away, he saw the cave at the exit of Zangshi Ridge, and at night, there was a bloody light overflowing.

One can tell at a glance that the Tibetan Corpse Ridge has become a ferocious place for raising corpses.

Jin An just paused for a moment, and continued to run towards that side in the next moment. Not long after, he plunged headfirst into the Bloody Light Cave.

Time passed little by little.

suddenly!

Boom!

There was a loud explosion, and a large amount of dust fell from the entrance of the cave. There seemed to be a violent fight in the cave, but after the explosion, the cave returned to calm.

And this explosion also affected the hearts of Yali and the others in the camp.

The people in the camp didn't want to sleep all night.

Worrying about Jin's safety all the time.

It wasn't until dawn, when a figure appeared on the top of the sand dunes facing the brilliant morning glow, that Yali and the others were pleasantly surprised to find that it was Jin'an who had returned.

"Daoist Jin'an, you are back, what happened to the explosion last night, we are worried..."

Before they finished speaking, they were startled by the things in Jin An's hands, and a chill shot up the back of their heads.

Jin An came back holding an arm in his right hand and an ugly big-headed baby in his left hand. He glanced at the camp and saw that everything was safe, so he asked Yali with a relaxed expression, "Nothing unusual happened in the camp last night, right?" ?”

"Ah, oh, no, everything is normal..." Yari was stunned for a while before recovering from his trance.

After finishing speaking, he carefully looked at the arm and the big baby in Jin An's hand, and asked curiously, "Master Jin'an, who is this?"

Jin An said nonchalantly: "I tore this arm off the human tomb town beast. That human tomb town beast eats too many people and turns into a human spirit. That thing is very dangerous. Even I can't bear it." Only one arm was left. As for this big-headed corpse baby, I was almost ambushed by this thing when I was about to leave the corpse ridge."

Although Jin'an said it lightly, Yali and the others still felt terrified when they heard it. Humans and tomb-slayer beasts alone knew that it was very difficult and dangerous to deal with.

Someone couldn't help but asked cautiously curiously: "When it's night, Taoist Master Jin'an's Tibetan Corpse Ridge, what exactly is there?"

"This mountain of corpses has been cleaned up." Jin An threw away his arm and the big-headed corpse baby, and said something without beginning or end.

After pondering for a while, he continued: "Do you still remember the conversation we had when we met that old bastard Amur? Recently, someone spread news about the Kingdom of the Undead God, attracting more people to come here to look for the Kingdom of the Undead God...We already know The person who spread the news is the old Lord of the Black Rain Country. He failed to find the Kingdom of the Undead God. This time, he wanted to borrow the help of more people to help him find the Kingdom of the Undead God. Last night, I went deep into the hidden corpse mountain and found There are many traces of destruction in the Tibetan Corpse Ridge, and from the traces, at least two waves of people have entered the Tibetan Corpse Ridge, and they all entered recently."

The Zang Corpse Ridge is a ferocious place where yin is gathered to raise corpses, Jin An is already talking about it in a simple way.

Last night, he encountered many strange things in the Tibetan Corpse Ridge.

In the depths of Zangshi Ridge, there is definitely something very dangerous.

This Tibetan Corpse Ridge has gathered yin and raised corpses for thousands of years, and in the deepest part, there is definitely a big guy comparable to the king of the Teng Kingdom in its heyday.

Even he didn't dare to investigate too deeply, for fear of alarming that big guy, so he only gained [-] Yinde in total last night.

It is true that there is not much virtue in a busy night.

One is because there is no deep relationship.

The second is because of lack of time.

The third reason is that the Tibetan Corpse Ridge has been cleaned up twice.

After a brief repair and feeding the camels and sheep, the team started to continue on the road. Don't look at the Guchi Kingdom at the end of the sky, it was Wangshan running dead horses, and after half a day's journey, there was still no intention of closing the distance.

But at this time, the team encountered another bigger problem.

Since successfully leaving Zangshi Ridge and officially setting foot on the boundary of Guchi Kingdom, the temperature in the desert here has become even hotter, and the temperature has risen sharply. Until someone fainted from heat stroke, Jin'an knew that this team could not go any further.

Seeing someone in the camel team fainted due to heat stroke, Jin An hurriedly stopped the camel team. He built a cloth shed, fanned the wind, and recuperated with dirty energy. The team: "Yari, the road ahead will only get hotter and hotter, and the higher the temperature during the day, the lower the temperature at night. The road ahead is dangerous and unknown, and it has exceeded the limit that ordinary people can bear. Please send me Come here, the rest of the road is up to me.”

Seeing that Yali was about to speak, Jin'an raised his hand and continued to say seriously: "I, Jin'an, are very grateful to you for sending me all the way here. The road ahead is really too dangerous, so don't insist on it."

Yali, whose eye sockets were sunken and his lips were severely chapped by the sun, saw that Jin'an didn't want them, and said anxiously: "But the road to the desert is still very long, without us bringing water and food for you, Daoist Jin'an, you alone People can't carry too much water."

Jin An smiled and said that I accepted your wishes, and then said: "You guys forgot, I returned that stupid sheep. That stupid sheep ate so much, drank so much, and exerted the least effort. It's time to develop its physique." and strength advantage."

"mouth……"

Before he finished baa, the silly sheep's voice of resistance was punched back into the stomach by Jin An.

"Okay, don't talk about this anymore. I accept your wishes. I won't just watch you go to die. Send it here. After you take the camels and sheep back to Zangshiling, continue to take the ancient boat back. , and then wait for me to go back in Teshisata Village, and the ancient ship will take you out safely. Just let the ancient ship go back to the old place to pick me up after you go out, and it will know how to do it." Jin'an arranged.

At this time, the old Sadiq and the young Sahafu both knelt down suddenly, wanting to continue to follow Jin'an into the depths of the desert: "The long camels of Jin'an Road are more resistant to drought and cold in the desert. You turned us into camels and took us with you." Let's go together! You have shown great kindness to our village. Not only did we not help much along the way, but we became a burden, dragging down Taoist Jin'an. You took care of us all the way. We feel ashamed and are willing to carry thousands of miles for you, Taoist Jin'an. Just to repay you for saving our uncle, nephew, and our village!"

Little Sahafu also knelt down and said, "I beg Taoist Master Jin'an to bring us and let us carry water for you. This is the only way we can repay your great kindness!"

A few months ago, they scolded Jin'an as a monster, crying to death and unwilling to become a sheep.

Now he is willing to turn himself into a camel in the desert, and is willing to carry water for thousands of miles for Jin'an.

All this is just for gratitude.

Even Ilham also knelt down to Jin'an: "I am a sinner, the Taoist priest of Jin'an. I went to the desert this time to atone for my sins. I am willing to become a camel, travel thousands of miles, and continue to atone for my sins. I am willing to carry the Taoist of Jin'an on my back. Take the pain of the burning fire for Daoist Jin'an, and purify the soul."

madman.

madman.

All crazy.

The group of sand robber camels looked at the kneeling three sheep, their eyes widened in disbelief, and they cursed in their hearts that they were all crazy.

Obviously you can enjoy leisure.

Get out of this dangerous and hot place.

But he took the initiative to seek risk.

It's not what a lunatic is.

"Sadiq, Sahaf, I promised you that after helping me find the holy mountain of Guchi Kingdom, I will release your shackles, and let you return to human body and return to your tribe. Now that I have found Guchi Kingdom, When it’s time for me to fulfill my promise, you and Yilihamu will go back to Teshisata Village first, and I will remove the animal-making skills for you after I go back.” Although Jin’an was moved, he also knew that the road ahead would be dangerous, and it was difficult for him. Keep the three safe.

Unexpectedly, the three of them refused to leave.

"Daoist Jin'an, let us stay here to repay your kindness. Didn't you say that before us, two waves of people passed through the holy mountain of Guchi Kingdom? I don't know, we can also help you with the translation." Old Sadiq and young Sahafu knelt down and wanted to repay Jin An's great kindness.

Ilham: "The Western Regions are very large, and there are many places where the languages ​​are very different. I am proficient in the languages ​​and characters of several places. Daoist Jin'an may bring me along to help you find the traces of the kingdom of the undead. You are very kind to me. , I, Ilham, am willing to be your cow or horse."

This is no longer crazy.

This is crazy.

The Sand Pirate Camel on the side was stunned. Some people were wronged and insisted on being a cow instead of a horse. This is not insanity. They cursed sourly and couldn't help but feel envious. They also longed to be human again.

Jin An hesitated for a moment: "You guys don't need to ride, and I have to ask the three of you to help me along the way."

As he spoke, he clasped his fists and saluted the three of them.

"Don't worry, I, Jin'an, never like to owe favors to others. In the first half of the journey, we each got what we needed and we were evened out. In the second half of the journey, I have something to ask of you. I will give you a chance to teach you the way of practice. Although Sadiq and Ilham are old, and it is difficult to achieve higher achievements, but it is still possible to prolong their lives and live another 20 years. Sahaf is still young, with a simple and kind nature, and there should be a lot of room for improvement. Expect."

As soon as Jin An's words came out, the three of them almost bit their tongues in shock, and then bowed their heads in ecstasy: "Thank you, Daoist Jin'an!"

Seeing that his nephew was still stunned like a sheep, old Sadik gave him a blow to the head and scolded: "Hurry up and call Master."

Jin An smiled and supported the little Sahafu: "There is no need to be a teacher. I owe a few of you today, and I should be the one who repays the help of a few of you."

"Don't worry, on the next trip to the desert, if the weather is so extreme that even a camel can't stand it, I won't let you continue to follow me even if you insist. I will put your safety first."

Next, the camel team returned to the temporary camp last night according to the same route. In the early morning of the next day, Jin An personally sent everyone to board the boat and left. He took only one sheep and three camels and set foot on the vast sandy road to Guchi country.

Yali and the others were deeply afraid that Jin'an would be thirsty, so they took out a large amount of clean water for Jin'an, and almost half of the water fell on the silly sheep's back.

It is said that it eats more on weekdays.

It finally came into play.

However, the camels transformed by old Sadik, young Sahaf, and Ilham had much lighter loads.

In fact, Jin'an has viscera living in the Immortal Temple of the Five Viscera to regulate the viscera and body vitality. The desert heat has little effect on him, and the clean water is completely enough for Jin'an.

Along the way, Jin An also spared no effort to teach the three of them to practice the "Secret Biography of the Five Viscera". Before Jin An, there were still some calming pills left, but with the help of pills and stones, the speed of the three of them's practice at the beginning was like the help of a god.

This is the advantage of having a sect background and being led by a master.

It's not like Jin'an relied on groping and cultivating by himself in the past, even the prescriptions and medicinal materials of the Dingling Pill were found through untold hardships.

Wangshan ran a dead horse and walked for more than a day in the scorching desert. One person, one sheep and three camels finally approached the country of Guchi.

This Guchi country covers a large area, but now the ancient city is buried by yellow sand. Even if there is no buried part, it is very weathered.

desolate.

Discarded.

dilapidated.

And scorching heat!

Jin'an was glad that he didn't take Yali and the others to go deep. The heat here has exceeded the tolerance limit of ordinary people.

His goal is very clear, stepping on the hot yellow sand, walking all the way to the center of the ancient city, where something has been shining on the desert, attracting people's attention.
