White Bone Monkey King

After going underground for a while, a crack in the ground more than ten feet wide suddenly appeared, blocking the secret passage.

This distance naturally makes it difficult for Jin An.

Jin An did not immediately cross the crack in the ground and continue moving forward, because when he stood at the edge of the crack in the ground, he found a weak wind blowing out.

This airflow is very weak, and you have to feel it carefully to notice the breeze blowing on your face.

Looking down at the world under the dark cracks in the ground, Jin An thought with his eyes. If there was air flow, it meant that this place could lead to the deepest part of the secret passage.

Zhang Zhuzhu saw that Jin An was standing still. He carefully moved to the edge of the crack in the ground step by step. He held a torch and looked down carefully. Looking at the bottomless black hole, he almost became frightened and his legs became weak as he stood. Can't live.

Zhang Zhuzhu quickly retracted his head: "I don't know how deep it is down here. If someone accidentally falls, is it possible to survive?"

At this time, Jin An came up with an astonishing answer: "There is airflow here, which means that it is not a Jedi point, but connected to other places. If we are lucky, it may help us save a lot of distance and find the end of the secret passage directly."

Zhang Zhuzhu was stunned when he heard this: "Taoist Master Jin'an, do you mean... that we go directly down here?"

Afterwards, Zhang Zhuzhu looked serious: "If we can be found as soon as possible and help the villagers collect the bodies, I will listen to you, Taoist Jin An, in everything."

Jin An looked at him and said, "Aren't you afraid of heights this time?"

Zhang Zhuzhu shook his head: "Anyway, I have no love left, so there is nothing to fear."

Jin An smiled and said, "If you die, who will help us collect the body?"

After saying that, Jin An took Zhang Zhuzhu and followed the slope that collapsed from the crack in the ground, descending into the dark crack of deathly silence.

Not long after walking out, the two noticed something unusual. A large number of skeletons appeared in the soil under their feet, all of which were human bones.

Every few steps you can see fragments of bones.

According to this scale of numbers, more than a thousand people could be buried.

"You see, these skeletons are not forest white, but have a bit of old yellow color. Two important clues can be deduced from this. One is that these people were buried here for a long time after their death. They were definitely not buried in the past ten years. It is obvious that they were buried here for a long time. You can see that the white bones are yellow; secondly, these skeleton fragments are all yellow and old in color, which proves that they are all from the same group of deceased people."

Jin An still has a third clue in his mind.

He had seen the human skulls in the burial jars. The skulls were still white in color and had not turned yellow. Therefore, the people buried here were not the villagers Zhang Zhuzhu was looking for, but came from an earlier era.

He didn't mention this, mainly to avoid exposure.

As expected, Zhang Zhuzhu took the initiative and said: "The bones of these people have turned yellow, which is different from what I thought. They should be people who were killed earlier."

Although he was not an acquaintance of the villagers, Zhang Zhuzi, a kind-hearted man, paid homage to the corpses on the ground as he walked and recited some words of salvation for the deceased.

It took them a while to finally reach the end of this rugged slope.

A section of the landslide slope can be reached in a short amount of time, which is considered a shortcut. If they continue to walk in the secret passage, it will take at least half a day to reach such a depth.

The end of the slope is not a dark passage or an open space, but a tiled roof.

A roof buried deep in the ground?

This experience was also absurd and bizarre enough.

A large hole was created in the tiled roof by the landslide, just big enough for a person to pass through.

"Look at the thickness of the roof trusses and timber strips laid under the tiles. The roof area should not be large, and the floor space of the building will not be too large if it is pushed backwards."

The torch shone on the wooden beams, keels, and secondary ribs of the roof, but not on the ground. It seemed that the ground was at a certain height from the roof. But no matter how tall a building is, how high can it go?

It is strange to say that as he goes deeper here, his consciousness is even more severely suppressed, and even his soul cannot leave his body.

There are a lot of turbid gases such as funerary gas and yin gas underground. The deeper you go into the underground that never sees the light of day, the stronger the suppression of the soul will be. However, this depth is far from enough to suppress a third realm.

Thinking of this, he looked thoughtfully.

As expected, it was worthy of the difficulty of the pseudo-fourth realm, and it certainly wouldn't make it too easy for him.

But if you want to say that the pseudo-fourth realm scares him, it won't be enough. When he was in the middle realm of martial arts, human beings and immortals, he even dared to subjugate the demons of the underworld.

Plop, the sound of footsteps hitting the ground, the soles of shoes blowing away a layer of dust, breaking the thousands of years of peace in this underground building. Jin An and Zhang Zhuzhu successfully landed on a small mound. The gap between the ground and the roof was about two to three feet. It was really Quirky architectural features.

Holding the torch in hand, they looked around. The next moment, both of their faces darkened.

The purpose here is like a morgue, with many dead people sitting here and there on the ground. This time, the dead people are all corpses with their heads still attached, their faces are gray and gray, and they sit cross-legged and still.

It's rare to see a whole dead body. How could you not observe it carefully? If you don't get closer, you won't notice the difference. When you get closer, Jin An immediately notices the problem.

He saw only a very small number of dead people sitting cross-legged, and a larger number of dead people were lying on the ground, but these dead people were all empty skins.

Jin An raised his eyebrows and inspected more than a dozen empty human skin bags. He found that there was a neat wound on the back of each empty human skin bag, from the back of the neck to the tail vertebrae, and the flesh and blood in the skin bags were missing.

According to the level of dust here, these people with empty skins have been around for a long time.

Slowly walking down the small mound of Zhang Zhuzhu, he was naturally surprised when he saw the strange empty human skins lying on the ground.

Looking at the skin bags lying on the ground, Jin An looked up at the hole in the roof above his head and said his guess: "It should be the mudslide that broke through the roof, and the air flow brought up overturned these empty skin bags."

"First there are headless bones, and then there are empty skins with missing flesh and blood. What happened underground in this evil temple!"

Jin An asked Zhang Zhuzhu if he could find any familiar faces among these people. After all, Zhang Zhuzhu was just an ordinary person. Ordinary people would be lying if they said they were not afraid of this kind of battle, but their inner obsession outweighed their fear. Zhang Zhuzhu was big After taking a brave look around, he shook his head and said no.

"It's a pity that Mr. Yiyun didn't come this time." Jin An said with emotion as he looked at the empty skin bags on the ground.

Standing in the pile of dead people's skins, Zhang Zhuzhu followed Jin An closely. He happened to hear Jin An's whisper and asked curiously: "Who is Mr. Yiyun?"

Jin An simply explained: "She is good at painting skin. If she were here, she might be able to help us figure out the way."

Zhang Zhuzhu: "Is Mr. Yiyun your confidante, Taoist Priest Jin'an?"

This time Jin An looked at him in surprise: "How did you know that Mr. Yiyun is a woman?"

Zhang Zhuzhu answered matter-of-factly: "Because I've been here before, Taoist Master Jin'an, your tone was obviously different when you mentioned the four words 'Master Yiyun'."

Jin An: "?"

"Why is the tone different?"

"Aren't they all names?"
