White Bone Monkey King

It had been a few days since Jin An arrived at Wuzhou Mansion. He had made great gains along the way, with more than 60,000 Yin De.

At present, his total moral virtue is sixty-three thousand five hundred and two.

Sure enough, in a time of great strife, not only are people practicing faster, but even corpses, ghosts, and evil spirits are more likely to appear in hundreds of years of Taoism and thousand-year Taoism.

While Jin An was making gains, he couldn't help but look a little worried.

In a world of great strife, human life is like a piece of grass. This reminds him again of the prophecy of Corpse Immortal Heavenly Official Yuan Ban remaining in Long Cave to suppress Corpse Monument Mountain.

Thirteen years after Zhengde is the time when the Yang pole and the Yin arise, the sun and the moon fall, and the world reverses itself!

Speaking of soaring ghostly aura, it is the ghostly ghosts in Changxian County that attract the most attention. Even before entering the boundary of Wuzhou Prefecture, you can vaguely see the ghostly aura of the ghostly ghosts in Changxian County. It covers the sky and clouds. Looking from the sky, it can be seen from the sky for hundreds of miles. Can't be ignored.

The last time Jin An left Wuzhou Prefecture was in the first month of the Spring Festival, and it was already the end of August when he returned to his hometown of Wuzhou Prefecture.

This day is the seventeenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms, Cold Dew. Cold Dew is the season of late autumn. It is the beginning of Xu month in the calendar of stems and branches. The rainy season begins to decrease and gradually turns to the cold season.

"Little brother, your mother's family has arrived." The old Taoist priest sighed and said.

He and Jin An met in the ghost village of Chang County, so he has a unique affection for Chang County.

This was the first time that Jin An observed the ghosts in Chang County from a high place, and found that there was actually a trace of the saint's golden energy hidden in the ghost aura rising to the sky.

Jin An was startled, then laughed happily: "Everyone really kept their promise and never killed or ate human flesh again. The hostility and resentment in their hearts are slowly dissipating, and their merits are immeasurable. That's why a trace of saint's golden energy was born in a desperate situation. This is There is a time when even a dead tree grows again in spring."

Jin An lowered the clouds and led everyone to land directly in Chang County.

In the next seven days, Changxian, a dead city that had been quiet for more than half a year, once again spread rumors of hauntings with loud music and gongs and drums every night. Scholars and escort agencies who drove around at night were frightened, and they all said that the ghost king in Changxian County had been there for half a year. He started marrying the tenth city lord's wife again.

…

…

Seven days later, with crisp autumn weather and clear skies, Jin An did not choose to ride through the clouds and fog back to Wu Zang Taoist Temple. Instead, with a sentiment of hometown and nostalgia, he looked at every plant and tree along the way and followed the official road to Wuzhou Fucheng.

Along the way, he met many people in this world.

There are Mr. Yiyun and Mr. Qi.

There are old Taoist priests, sharpening swords.

Senior You Zhong.

There is the senior in the white coffin.

…

"Mom, mom, that sheep is so big!"

"Silly son, those are cows. They are already seven-year-old adults. How can you still ignore the cows and sheep?"

Outside the gate of Fucheng, a young child poked his head out of a carriage entering the city, pointed at the goat with a novel expression, clapped his hands and shouted excitedly. A beautiful young woman dressed in expensive silk sat in a carriage trying to correct her son's mistakes.

"Mom, that's obviously a sheep!" the child shouted unconvinced, sticking his tiger-headed little head out of the car window and staring at the tall and strong goat.

The beautiful young woman had a headache and rubbed her forehead: "Only cows can grow that big. Sheep can't grow that big. You are still young and can't tell the difference between cows and sheep. When you see a cow that looks like a sheep, you will easily mistake it for a sheep." Sheep. Actually, that’s cattle.”

The young boy was not convinced and insisted that it was the sheep.

While the young boy and the beautiful young woman were still fighting over the cattle and sheep, Jin An and his party had already arrived at the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city recognized Jin An's identity at the first sight: "Why does this cow look a little strange? No, this It’s a sheep that looks like a cow. Taoist Master Jin’an is back. You recruits don’t need to check the Taoist discs anymore. Who in Quanwu Prefecture doesn’t know that there is a sheep that looks like a cow in the Five Zang Taoist Temple!”

The captain waved his hand to his men to let them go, then enthusiastically bowed his hands to Jin An and said happily: "I have met Taoist Jin An and Taoist Chen, and we meet again. Your sheep is several times bigger than last year. Even cattle can't beat it." ."

The old Taoist priest snickered beside him.

Jin An also recognized the other person at first sight. He was happy and in a good mood when he met an acquaintance when he first arrived in Wuzhou Mansion. This captain was the city guard who checked him, the old Taoist priest, and the goat into the city last year. Because the goat's appearance was so suspicious, they almost couldn't enter the city. Last year, the opponent was still a soldier, but this year he was promoted to captain.

Jin An cupped his fists to congratulate the other party on his promotion.

A little person like himself never expected to be recognized by Jin An at a glance. The other party was so moved that he was a little incoherent: "Taoist Jin An, is the peacock flying on the city gate also yours?"

A peacock is a peacock, and the old Taoist priest can't stop laughing again.

"That's right, that's little brother's peacock bird." The old Taoist priest talked a lot today, which may be related to his return to Wuzhou Prefecture. Not only Jin'an has nostalgia for Wuzhou Prefecture, but the old Taoist priest also has great feelings for Wuzhou Prefecture. deep.

The captain waved his hand and shouted to his men: "That's Taoist Priest Jin'an's bird. Let's release it into the city together."

Jin An: "..."

Hahaha, the old Taoist priest was already twisting his beard and laughing unscrupulously.

At this time, the captain also realized that there was ambiguity in his words, and he had to apologize awkwardly.

Last year I cut my sword and entered Fucheng. Because I had no identification, I sneaked into Fucheng secretly after being separated. Today is different from the past. Mr. Fu Yin came forward and had already issued an identity certificate for Xi Jian. He was from Wuzhou Prefecture and a legal Taoist priest of Wu Zang Taoist Temple. He had Wuzhou Prefecture status and Wu Zang Taoist Temple Taoist disc.

Today's Wu Zang Taoist Temple is very different from a year ago. After several expansions and renovations, and with the support of Mr. Fu Yin and the three major medicinal families, the most important thing is because Jin'an is dedicated to doing good and has won the hearts of the people. Today's The incense in Wu Zang Taoist Temple is more prosperous than in the past. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the second most popular incense under Bailong Temple.

When Jin An came to the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, he saw that the flow of people in the Wu Zang Taoist Temple was even more vigorous than before he left in the first month of the year. Pilgrims came and went in a steady stream, and even the street was full of various incense and candle shops.

The goat's physique was so eye-catching that even before Jin An arrived at the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, it caused quite a stir and the neighbors came out to greet him enthusiastically.

When Jin An and his party arrived at the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, there was naturally a commotion among the crowd. Huang Zinian and his wife, who had been diligently taking care of the Taoist temple, rushed out happily and personally welcomed Jin An and the old Taoist priest back to visit.

When they learned that Jin'an's trip went well and that he not only found Master Yuyangzi but also found a sharp sword, the couple expressed sincere congratulations.

After Jin An entered the temple, he found that the Five Zang Taoist Temple was well maintained and there was no sign of any mess or slack. He was very relieved that Huang Zinian and his wife were doing things.

The backyard of Wu Zang Taoist Temple.

Huang Zinian and his wife led several young men dressed as lay disciples to Jin An. They introduced him with a somewhat bumpy expression on their faces: "Taoist Jin An, during your six months of travel, the two of us saw some refugees fleeing from other places. The children are pitiful, and the Taoist temple is short of manpower after several expansions, so..."

Jin An didn't wait for Huang Zinian and his wife to finish speaking, raised his hand to interrupt, sat on the stone bench and poured tea for them personally, and pointed to the stone bench to signal them to sit down and talk.

Huang Zinian and his wife were a little nervous to sit down. Although they picked up the tea bowl, they did not drink it immediately with a gloomy expression.

Jin An smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm very relieved that you and your wife are doing things. As long as you feel at ease with your character, you can just go ahead and accept the disciples."

"Thank you so much for your hard work over the past year in helping me take care of the Five Zang Taoist Temple. This tea, I respect you, is what you deserve. Thank you, you two, for your hard work."

Huang Zinian and his wife looked at each other, tears welling up in their eyes.

What people need most is recognition and respect.

"Taoist Master Jin'an, we..." Huang Zinian wanted to say something from the bottom of his heart, but the words turned into tears when he reached his lips. Then he drank the tea as if drinking wine.

Huang Zinian wiped away his tears with all his strength and said solemnly: "The lives of our couple were saved by Taoist Master Jin'an. You have given us a new life. We never dare to forget this great kindness! The Five Zang Taoist Temple is our couple's life." As a human being, Taoist Master Jin'an, please rest assured that we will never let you down and we will not do anything to disgrace you and the Five Zang Taoist Temple."

Looking at Huang Zinian and his wife, who have a straightforward personality, Jin An's face also showed emotion. He thought of the scene when he first met the two of them in the Ghost Building of Resentment, and then looked at the couple now as a husband and wife, and he felt emotional.

Huang Zinian and his wife adopted a total of seven children, ranging from eight to fourteen years old. Jin An asked Huang Zinian and his wife if they had any other candidates for disciples, and took advantage of his return visit to arrange for them to join the Five Zang Taoist Temple. This time he will stay in Wuzhou Mansion for a while, and he will have time to guide them in their cultivation.

Huang Zinian and his wife were delighted and immediately ordered the seven children to call for help. They were interested in a lot of orphans and children who had fled, but because Jin An was away and worried that Jin An wouldn't like them taking matters into their own hands, they didn't dare to help too many orphans to live in Wu Zang Taoist Temple.

Next, after receiving the news of Jin An's return, Lord Fu Yin, General Duwei, the abbot of Bailong Temple, and the three major medicinal families of He Xuejia and others rushed to Wu Zang Taoist Temple to visit Jin An. The Wu Zang Taoist Temple, which was already crowded with pilgrims, was even more crowded with carriages arriving in an endless stream.

Jin'an continued to receive visitors until the evening, and the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, which had been bustling all day, returned to calm. Jin An offered incense to Sanqing Hall, Wulei Emperor Hall, Liuding Liujia Martial Hall, Gongde Hall... one by one, and brought Yuyang Zishi to the temple. The uncle entrusted his tokens and letters to be burned to the Taoist Wu Zang Taoist and Master Yu Youzi in the Hall of Merit.

It's a pity that he didn't wait for Mr. Lai Yi and Senior Zhong that night. Originally, he had many things to ask them. Last time they safely escaped from the Guixu Divine Realm and after the Shenzhou docked safely at the port, Mr. Yi and Senior Zhong left in advance. Mr. Yi wanted to take Mr. Zhong Laosan back to Wuzhou Mansion to report that they were safe.

Fortunately, Mr. Yi and Senior Zhong didn't keep Jin An waiting for too long. The next night, they visited Jin An together.

"Mr. Yi, Senior Zhong, when the Shenzhou docked and landed in Jiangzhou Mansion, I asked you to help me deliver the letter to Senior Bai Coffin. But do you have the answer?" Jin An couldn't wait to ask.

The content of that letter was very important. It was related to the secrets of the Shaoyang Bureau that he saw in the Holy Lake of Dragon Cave. He urgently needed to get the answer from the person in the white coffin who was also the artifact of the Four Symbols Bureau of Duantianjiedi.

As a result, he got another answer from Mr. Yi. The man in Bai Coffin was not in Wuzhou Prefecture. He had gone to the capital for some special reasons, so the letter entrusted by Jin An had not yet been handed over for help in questioning. The two of them learned that Jin An had returned to Wuzhou Prefecture, so they came to visit Jin An.

After receiving this result, Jin An frowned slightly.

Mr. Yi and Senior Zhong stayed at the Wu Zang Taoist Temple for one night. During this period, they exchanged some spiritual practice and fortune-telling and Feng Shui experiences with Jin An, and then left before dawn.

Just after they left Fucheng, Mr. Yi and Zhong Laosan had sad expressions on their faces, as if something was troubling them.

Zhong Laosan turned his palms, took out a few short story books, and said with a sad face: "Fortunately, Madam is not in Wuzhou Mansion, so she didn't find these short story books."

"I didn't expect that some of these banned books that were only circulated in Jiangzhou Prefecture would end up in Wuzhou Prefecture so quickly. In the past few days, we have been working hard to clean up the banned books on the market to prevent Madam from knowing about these things when she comes back. This time it is us The real reason for the late visit. Although these romantic stories in the storybook are all fake and fictitious, Taoist Jin'an did not flirt with women when he went south this time, but he was afraid that if they were spread too much, they would eventually become Really, isn’t that how rumors come from.”

Mr. Yi frowned and walked ahead, sighing softly and said: "I'm afraid Madam has known about the existence of these little story books for a long time, and also expected that Taoist Jin'an would return to Wuzhou after finding Uncle Yuyangzi and his apprentice to sharpen the sword. Mansion, so I went to the capital and deliberately avoided Taoist priest Jin'an for a while."

"Ah this."

Zhong Laosan's face became more sad: "Are you saying that Madam was angry and ran away to the capital to relax this time, and deliberately did not see Taoist Jin An?"

Mr. Yi continued to frown: "I just said it casually. Madam is extremely talented and knowledgeable, and she is always ahead of the trend of the world. We can't guess. Maybe there is something else going on in the capital this time." reason."

Zhong Laosan frowned and sighed: "Then we should continue to help Taoist Jin'an clean up the little story books that have wandered into Wuzhou Mansion?"

…

…

In the days that followed, for the prosperity of the Five Zang Taoist Temple, Jin'an began the boring day after day of sealing century-old medicinal materials, opening furnaces to refine elixirs, sleeping and eating, never leaving the door, pouring all the energy into opening the door for the next Make preparations by accepting disciples.

The 60,000 yin virtues had not been kept warm for a few days, but they were all used up again.

However, before the Shengui Dabu Decoction, Dingling Pill, and Qingxu Pill were refined, another thing came to the door.

On this day, from the wharf of Wuzhou Prefecture connected to the water transport of Yinyi River, several official ships from the capital with dragon flags sailed in. An old eunuch who was tired of life disembarked with a group of powerful and strict soldiers.

Seeing the official ship flying the dragon flag docking, the dock navy was so frightened that they quickly cleared the dock to avoid collision with the visitors from the capital, and quickly sent people with agile legs and feet to the military camp to inform the captain general.

Soon after, Lord Fu Yin and General Duwei all came forward to lead the way for the old eunuch holding the imperial edict, and headed straight to the location of the Five Zang Taoist Temple without stopping.

As soon as the old eunuch arrived at the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "The imperial decree has arrived! The master of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, the newly promoted Taoist Master Jin'an has received the decree!"

Imperial decree!

Martial Arts Immortal!

Just these six words immediately caused a stir in the city, and all eyes were focused on the Five Zang Taoist Temple! Everyone finally understood why Mr. Fu Yin and General Du Wei personally opened the way, because a martial arts immortal appeared in Wuzhou Prefecture, and the holy king issued an imperial edict to tell the world! Even the imperial edict has come, so the story about martial arts and immortals must be true!
