White Bone Monkey King

After diving into the cave, Jin An always felt like there was a light on his back and he was being watched by many eyes.

He looked thoughtfully at both sides of the water cave.

On the cliffs on both sides of the water cave, many deep holes were dug, and in each deep hole was a tomb beast placed.

Not the most evil grave beast with a human face and an animal body.

They are all elephant tomb beasts with animal faces and human bodies.

The renxi tomb-suppressing beast likes to eat people and will not reject anyone living or dead. The main purpose of the tomb-suppressing beast like the owl is to ward off evil spirits, deter strange things, and drive away snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

The deep caves on the cliff are densely packed, with a heavy atmosphere of time, and no end in sight, making people think of Thousand Buddha Cave.

Perhaps due to the passage of time and constant erosion by water flow, half of these elephant tomb beasts are severely mutilated and fragmented, and the remaining half are also in various ways.

forbidden lake,

ward off disaster,

Like a group of stone statues at the bottom of the lake hiding from something on the lake,

The demon-like tomb beast that wards off evil spirits,

Jin An gradually had a rough guess in his mind. Before ancient times, a disaster occurred in Shenlong Mountain. This disaster was related to weirdness. In the end, the ancestors of Shenlong Mountain were forced to hide under the Forbidden Lake. The first thing Jin An thought of was The mountain god invaded Shenlong Mountain and destroyed it.

Just like the Taoist ancestral land in Dongtian Blessed Land in Wuzhou Prefecture, the Taoting Divine Kingdom ruins where the Underworld Painted Corpse Cave is located, and the destroyed Little Kunlun Virtual Secret Realm in Kunlun Mountain...

Immediately another doubt came to mind.

Since we were resisting the mountain gods, why did we arrange elephants to suppress the tomb beasts? The tomb-suppressing beast like the Elephant is mostly used to ward off evil spirits, corpses, ghosts and other dead things.

Thinking of dead things, Jin An's head moved and he thought of the devil from the underworld.

The great demon of the underworld, the demon-like tomb-suppressing beast that wards off evil... Jin'an suddenly came up with a rather absurd idea. Could it be that the ancient ancestors on Shenlong Mountain wanted to hide not from the mountain gods, but from the underworld?

If we are really guarding against the underworld, it can be explained that the devil possessed the two-headed corpse chaser and descended into the forbidden lake. It can pass here safely.

There are too many secrets in ancient times, and most of them have become dust of history. Perhaps those who come after you will never get the truth. Jin An shook his head and concentrated on searching for the whereabouts of the two-headed corpse chaser.

The underwater environment was dark. When he got here, he was already infinitely close to the demon possessed by the underworld. What he had to guard against was not these elephant tomb beasts, but the insidious and cunning demon possessed by the underworld. As for the historical truth, if there were no special opportunities, , probably to be buried under the cold lake forever.

If it is true as Jin An guessed, it can only be said that history is always surprisingly similar, and time overlaps at inadvertent turning points.

After swimming for some distance, the Elephant Tomb Suppressing Beast showed no signs of decreasing. Instead, the terrain continued to rise and the water level became shallower. Later, the water could only submerge to the height of an adult's waist and abdomen. Jin'an carried the statue of Baiyan Daojun on his back. Wading in the waterway.

At this time, there were still many caves dug on both sides of the waterway, and in each cave there was an elephant tomb beast, all of which were more or less damaged.

Jin An estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of elephant tomb beasts seen along the way.

This is no small project.

And after all these years, those tomb beasts that were not seriously damaged still gave people an absurd feeling that they were still alive.

Carving tens of thousands of elephants and tomb beasts was originally a huge project. In addition, each of the elephants and tomb beasts here had magical powers. The amount of this project was definitely far beyond his imagination.

At the end of the tomb beast, which is also the end of the waterway, Jin'an came ashore.

"The location here is hidden and well-protected. No wonder Bulaoshan would use this place as an immortal arsenal. It is indeed the best choice. You think so, Lord Baiyan." In the quiet and empty cave, Jin An even spoke softly. , still seems extremely crisp and loud.

"Hey, martial arts immortal, how do you know that I have recovered?" The statue of Baiyan Daojun pretended to have just woken up.

Jin An just chuckled.

He would never admit that a person would not fall into a pit three times in a row.

This is a very large cave, and it becomes wider and wider as we walk. Jin An suddenly thought of the trumpet mouth.

There are two types of bell mouths. One is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom for gathering qi. The other is wide at the top and narrow for dispersing qi. As for whether it gathers yin qi or yang qi, whether it disperses yin qi or yang qi, it all depends on what the original owner thinks. , what do you want to use it for.

Snap.

Snap.

Jin An stepped on the water and followed with Luo Geng jade plate, walking deeper into the cave.

The water under my feet was already very shallow, with only a light white layer, and even the uppers of my shoes could not be submerged.

According to the instructions on Luo Geng's jade plate, the two-headed corpse chaser was indeed still in the immortal arsenal and had not left.

"How are you recovering, Mr. Baiyan Taoist? Can you see the exact location of the devil in the underworld now?" Jin An stepped on the water and moved forward.

The statue of the Hundred-Eyed Dao Lord opened its mostly restored red eyes, stared into the depths of the cave for a while, and shook his head: "Although the water level here is no longer able to cover this Dao Lord, the ubiquitous water vapor in the air has been blocking this Dao Lord. You can see further."

Jin An nodded.

Just as he thought.

When his spiritual consciousness reached this place, it was like looking at flowers in the mist or the moon in the water. It was hazy and blurry, and he couldn't detect too far.

Someone was talking along the way. The journey was quick, and before I knew it, I had already gone a long way. Suddenly, the voices of a person and an evil god stopped at the same time.

A tall black shadow with staggered shadows appeared in front of him.

When Cautious took a closer look, it turned out that they had come to a sacrificial place. The tall black figures they had seen before were the skulls of beasts used for tribal sacrifices. These beast skulls were inserted into the ground, with their wide-mouthed fangs facing outwards. Too many to count. This very ancient sacrificial method can still be seen in some ancient mountain tribes. Ancient ancestors worshiped beasts and often used them as tribal totems, such as bulls, bears, and wolves.

However, these animal skulls definitely do not come from ordinary beasts, not the common cows, bears, wolves, tigers and leopards... they are thicker than cow bones and more ferocious than tiger bones. It is unknown what ancient ferocious beast they come from. The skulls are majestic and have a pair of huge curves. The horns make people think of those strange ancient ferocious beasts in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

There are prayer strips and bronze bells hanging from each pair of corners. Those prayer strips have long since decayed and faded, and the bronze bells are also covered in rust and green. However, you can still vaguely see symbols that look like human eyes carved on the bronze bells. .

This human eye symbol made Jin An think of the gods in Wuzhou Prefecture's Cave Heaven Blessed Land who avoided disasters. The eyes of those gods impressed him so deeply.

It can be seen from this that the ancient ancestors living in Shenlong Mountain and the Taoist court in Dongtian Paradise in Wuzhou Prefecture should come from the same era, or a similar era...

It seems that this trip to the Forbidden Lake is not without success.

These sacrificial animal heads did not stop Jin An. He carefully avoided the large number of sacrificial animal heads and went deep with the statue of the Hundred-Eyed Taoist Lord.

Following the guidance of Luo Geng's jade plate, the two-headed corpse chaser entered here.

Just when a person and an evil god walked about a hundred feet away, the outsider entered, driving the air flow and breaking the balance of the place. Ding dong——

A bronze bell with an eye symbol that was closest to the statue of the Hundred-Eyed Daojun suddenly rang with a crisp sound.

Seeing Jin An's eyes, the statue of Baiyan Daojun hurriedly explained: "I didn't touch anything. This broken bell rang by itself."

Jin An stretched out his hand to hold the bell. When the sound stopped, he let go and continued to move forward.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they turned around and took a step forward, the bronze bell with the eye symbol behind them rang again.

It was at this moment that the statue of the Hundred-Eyed Taoist suddenly screamed: "Martial Arts Immortal, this Taoist suddenly can't move. Did you cast a spell on me again? I even said I didn't touch it, so hurry up and give it to me." Untie it!"

Jin An looked solemn: "It's not me, it's those bells that are weird."

Click click click click——

Following the crisp sound of cracking stones, a strange scene appeared. The statue of the Hundred-Eyed Dao Lord, whose body was stiff and unable to move, twisted its neck stiffly. This is a statue of a god, not a human being. Every time it turns its neck, there will be a few more fine cracks on its neck.

"My, my Taoist neck is moving on its own. It hurts. Please help me, martial arts immortal!" The statue of Baiyan Taoist was frightened and shouted for help.

Jin An hugged the neck of the statue of Baiyan Daojun to prevent it from turning its neck, lest it be crushed by his own neck.

However, the crackling sound on the statue of Baiyan Daojun continued, and the cracks in the neck tended to expand.

"It's the bell that's ringing! The beast skull with the bell has been letting this Taoist Lord look at it!" The thoughts of the Baiyan Daojun statue fluctuated violently, telling Jin An not to let go.

When Jin An heard this, he turned around and saw that the huge beast skull hanging with a bronze bell was also turning at this time, turning toward them, trying to look at the statue of the Hundred-Eyed Taoist Lord.

The statue of the Hundred-Eyed Dao Lord kept screaming in pain and angrily cursing: "Why is this Dao Lord the only one who is unlucky? There is nothing wrong with you, the martial arts immortal! It hurts, it hurts. I feel like my head is going to fall off!"

"Martial Arts Immortal, please don't let go. I have just become the Taoist Lord of Xunzi, and I have just given a little hope to the people of the capital. When you let go, what you will lose is not my head, but the thoughts of thousands of families in the capital." Yes I do!"

Under the threat of life and death, the statue of Baiyan Taojun began to speak incoherently.

When death is imminent, the first thing the Baiyan Daojun statue thinks about is finding his son. I wonder if this counts as "people who are about to die are good at what they say"? Jin An couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Although this evil god kept shouting every day to let an evil god find a son for ordinary people and lose face, he gradually accepted it in his heart.

"Okay, stop yelling and let me think about something quietly." Jin An scolded.

The Qianxin Jie he practiced once again came into play at a critical moment. He thought that the Forbidden Lake outside was ineffective on him, but was effective on the statue of the Hundred-Eyed Daojun... These sacrificial beast skulls were also ineffective on him, and were only effective on the statue of the Hundred-Eyed Daojun... Thinking of the various layouts of this place, he controlled the talisman with his soul and used a six-ding-liujia talisman to place it on the forehead of the Baiyan Daojun statue.

A magical scene appeared, the Liuding Liujia Talisman emerged with the power of the Yang God, the Hundred-Eyed Daojun statue regained control, and its neck no longer moved.

After a few breaths, the cave returned to calm and the sound of the bells disappeared.

Only then did Jin An carefully let go of the head of the Baiyan Daojun statue.

The statue of the Hundred-Eyed Dao Lord turned the whites of his eyes upwards in shock, and looked at the Liudingliujia Talisman on his forehead in surprise: "How do you know, the martial arts immortal, that this place is afraid of this talisman?"

Jin An shook his head: "It's not fear, it's protection. In primitive tribes, the sacrificial vessels used for sacrifices have the function of shelter, peace and exorcism. You are the evil god. These sacrificial vessels are exorcising evil spirits and protecting this place from being invaded by evil spirits. So only for you. It works, but it doesn’t work for me.”

"Liuding is the yang god, the yin god of Liujia. Your deeds in helping people find children in my Wu Zang Taoist Temple these days were sensed by the gods enshrined in the Taoist temple, so Liuding Yang God is willing to take action this time. help you."

Having said this, Jin An smiled and patted the Baiyan Taojun statue on the shoulder: "Remember what you just said. When you go back, work harder to find your son and do good deeds. If you go back on your promise, you will have deceived the gods of Liuding and Liujia. Beware of thunder and lightning."

Isn’t this just selling your soul?

The statue of Baiyan Daojun wanted to retort, but when he saw that there was still a Liudingliujia talisman on his forehead, how could he dare to have any evil thoughts, so he mumbled feebly, his head drooped, and he was listless.

"There is something unexplainable about the martial arts immortals. Why is it that the devil in the underworld is fine, but this Taoist master is exorcised? Damn, things are not that good here. They bully the weak and fear the strong, and rely on the strong to bully the weak."

"Those Shouyuan demons in Bulao Mountain have been operating here for many years. The devil from the underworld possesses the two-headed corpse exorcist. There is a way to pass here safely. Is there anything strange about it?"

"...I still feel that this place is bullying the weak and afraid of the strong."

Now that we understood the characteristics of the sacrificial place, there was no disturbance along the way. The statue of Baiyan Daojun walked out of the sacrificial place safely with the yellow talisman on its forehead.

After leaving the place of worship, a dead end road appears in front of you. On the other side of the dead end road is a tall cliff with no end in sight. Under the dead end road, there are two suspended steps on the left and right leading to deeper underground.

There is nothing to worry about, just continue to follow Luo Geng’s jade plate and walk towards the steps on the right.

"The left is good and the right is bad. This is leading us to the evil path. Martial Arts Immortal, how accurate is your compass?" The hundred-eyed Taoist statue is afraid of death, and is deeply afraid that it will be evil again this time.

Although it sounds strange for an evil god to be evil...

"You're the only one who talks a lot, so let's split up and take action." Jin An glared, and the hundred-eyed Taojun statue closed its mouth.

It was almost impossible to silence the Baiyan Daojun statue. Not long after walking down the suspended steps into the cliff, the evil god couldn't hold back his words and kept talking in Jin'an's ears.

"These people are so strange. They ward off evil spirits while constantly hiding deeper underground. Isn't this contradictory?"

"The Immortal Armory in Bulao Mountain is really hidden. I've walked this far and haven't even seen the Immortal Armory yet."

"Martial Arts Immortal, you said that the Immortal Armory is so deep in Burao Mountain. The treasures they have accumulated over the years should be quite large. Otherwise, why would they be so laborious and mobilized? Will there be many ancient gods' relics like divine decrees in the Immortal Armory? The fallen objects are all good treasures. We have emptied the immortal arsenal, and the Five Zang Taoist Temple cannot directly take off and become the fourth holy place after Yujing Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion, famous all over the world!"

Jin An rolled his eyes: "You think the things left behind by the gods are worth nothing, and there are many decrees from the gods."

The statue of Baiyan Taojun clicked his tongue: "Martial Arts Immortal, you have many magical weapons on your body."
