White Bone Monkey King

Gulu——

Gulu——

The wheels of the chariot crushed the stones on the roadside, and the Yujing Jinque carriage galloped along the winding mountain road toward the capital.

On the way, everyone also roughly learned about the experiences of Jin An and Master Qing Xi in the small underworld. When they heard that Master Qing Xi had been in a coma until now, their faces showed worry.

We were all relieved to hear that Qingxi's condition and vital signs had stabilized.

In a short period of time, my mood went up and down twice.

"It seems that this time the shackles of the world are broken, not only Uncle Lin's cultivation level has broken through, but also the cultivation base of Master Chi Yuan has also broken through to the fourth realm. Yujing Golden Tower has added another powerful Shinto man." Jin An took another look at Master Chi Yuan at this time.

Chi Yuan Zhenren and others in the carriage were slightly stunned, and then showed an even more surprised expression than Jin An.

Master Chi Yuan said happily: "Taoist Jin'an can see through the real details of this real person. It seems that there are still many details that have not been revealed during the few years that Taoist Jin'an has been trapped. Taoist Jin'an's cultivation has also broken through to the fourth realm!" "

Jin An clasped his hands in his fists and said: "Master Chi Yuan has given me too much praise and I can't bear it. I have indeed made a small breakthrough, but there is still a certain gap between me and the fourth realm."

Xuan Lei, the real person, had the loudest voice and said in surprise: "I remember that when Taoist Priest Jin An entered the Taoist Yellow Courtyard, he was already in the Immortal Queen Realm, a martial artist. He had a breakthrough in cultivation, but it was not the fourth realm, that was the pseudo-fourth realm. !”

Jin An smiled and said nothing, which was a kind of acquiescence.

Everyone in the carriage held their breath for a moment, and then congratulated Jin An one after another.

Master Xuan Lei let out a long sigh: "The first time I met Taoist Priest Jin'an was in Jiangzhou Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River."

"At that time, Taoist Master Jin'an was still a new martial artist, while I was already in the middle stage of the Three Realms, where Yuan Shen had been traveling for many years."

"In just half a year, Taoist Master Jin'an has pushed ahead against the waves behind him. He is better than his master, and his realm has broken through to the pseudo-fourth realm. There is only half a step away from the fourth realm. And I am still polishing in the late stage of the third realm, and I am not that good. Breakthrough quickly.”

Master Xuan Lei is old enough to be Jin An's grandfather, but now he is being overtaken by a junior in his twenties. It is normal to have a lot of emotions in his heart.

"It seems that I did the right thing by killing the Peacock Buddha Mother to enlighten Taoist Master Jin'an." Master Chi Yuan suddenly changed the subject.

This time, Jin An was stunned: "The Peacock Buddha Mother is dead?"

Chi Yuan's face darkened: "It's not too late yet."

Master Xuan Lei on the side told the story in detail.

The shackles of the Yang Realm had just been broken, and the strongest members of the pseudo-fourth realm collectively ushered in a wave of breakthroughs. When something unexpected happened, they found a place nearby to retreat and break through.

In order to ensure the safety of the retreat and to be careful not to be attacked at critical moments, mainly to be wary of foreigners such as the Tianzhu and Rakshasa people who were traveling with us, the retreat place chosen was very secluded. The mountain was hollowed out and opened deep underground.

What happened next is not difficult to guess.

When they came out of seclusion, they found themselves in the underground palace. The Taoist Yellow Courtyard outside had undergone earth-shaking changes. The Yellow Springs River turned into Gobi, the mountains turned into sand dunes, and the underworld turned into a polar world.

If they were not close to the passage to the underworld and had no connection with the elders of Yujing Golden Tower who were staying near the passage, they would not have been able to find the passage so smoothly.

After the chaos of the initial sneak attack on the Yangjian Passage, as many forces reacted, the situation was quickly stabilized, and the Yangjian and Netherworld Passages were re-established.

It was only when everyone returned to the earthly world that they discovered that Jin An and Qing Xi had not returned. They waited and waited for the two of them.

Later, a big event happened and everyone was recalled to the capital.

Due to the breaking of the Four Symbols Bureau of Duantianjiedi, the mountain god stirred up the mysterious clouds in the sky and the earth, and the world was in turmoil. The gates of ghosts were wide open in various places. It was not uncommon for evil soldiers to take advantage of the situation. Memorials of murder cases from various places were sent to Yujing Jin like flying snow. Que, Zhenguo Temple, Tianshi Mansion, they were recalled to the capital to participate in the war to slay demons and re-right the world.

After a month or two of slaying the demons, with the world finally settled, everyone returned to the capital. When they learned that Jin'an and Qingxi had not returned to the world of heaven, Chiyuan, who was concerned and confused, wanted to kill the Peacock Buddha Mother to prove Jin'an's path. , offering peacock Buddha mother to the heaven to pray for Jin’an’s safety.

However, Master Chi Yuan passed through the gate of Wu Zang Taoist Temple three times, but failed to kill the Peacock Buddha Mother to help Jin An attain the Taoism.

Because the world is in chaos, the people are eager to find spiritual beliefs. However, Jin'an, which has a large amount of incense among the people, is not in the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. The statue of Qianyan Taojun, the god of seeking children, who also has a large amount of incense among the people, is not in the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. The incense believers in the Wu Zang Tao Temple Finally, they worshiped the Peacock Buddha Mother, who was compared to the palace fairy by scholars and scholars, and prayed for good weather and to ward off evil spirits.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars have always been superior to others. They were sought after by the scholars in the capital and descended to the earth as fairies. The common people also followed the trend and worshiped the Peacock Buddha Mother.

Although Master Chi Yuan is already in the fourth realm, he cannot go against the trend of the world and act recklessly, so he always returns empty-handed after passing through the gate of Wu Zang Taoist Temple three times.

Hearing that the Peacock Buddha Mother had such a tortuous experience, Jin An couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Later, Jin An asked about the whereabouts of Taoist Zhanmu and Taoist Qingfeng. Why didn't he see these two seniors?

Master Chi Yuan, Master Xuan Lei, and Uncle Lin looked at each other and then told a shocking news.

Uncle Lin looked solemn: "Let me tell you this. At that time, you were all still in the Taoist Yellow Courtyard and you hadn't come out yet."

"This time the break of the Four Symbols Bureau of Duotianjiedi has not only affected the cultivation world, but also caused a big shock in the secular court."

"The imperial court planned to hold an ancestor worship ceremony to pray for the heaven and the people before this natural and man-made disaster, praying for God's good weather and peace for the country and the people. However, the ancestor worship ceremony cannot be without the national master. Before the body of the original national master was found, Emperor Kang Zhao suddenly issued an edict , ordered the new Imperial Master to take office immediately and have full authority to preside over the ancestor worship ceremony. "

Jin An raised his eyebrows and asked who the new Imperial Master was?

Uncle Lin continued to say solemnly: "This person calls himself Immortal. His attainments in Fengshui Divination and Qimen Dunjia are unfathomable. He is proficient in many ancient scriptures that have been lost long ago. He is even the only three elders of the Eight Views Sect in the Tianshi Mansion. They all regard him as a distinguished guest in the Tianshi Mansion and entrust him to worship the elders under the name of the Tianshi Mansion."

"And on the day when the new Imperial Master Tian became the Imperial Master, the remnants of Burao Mountain, the cattle-making old man and the headless monk, accepted the new Imperial Master's recruitment, and presented a detailed map of Burao Mountain and a list of all treasure places as a certificate of submission. "

"Several master uncles, together with Tianshi Mansion and Zhenguo Temple, went to Bulao Mountain with the new national master to explore the undiscovered secrets of Bulao Mountain."

When he heard that the old man who made livestock and the headless monk took the initiative to surrender to Kang Dingguo, Jin An was obviously startled, and then his face darkened.

"I have dealt with these two Shouyuan Demons. They are both brutal by nature and kill without blinking an eye. The old man who makes animals takes pleasure in artificial animals, and the headless monk is good at deceiving people. They are not kind-hearted people."

"Why did these two people surrender to the Kangding imperial court for no reason? This newly appointed national advisor is not an easy person."

Jin An still didn't say a word in his heart. It was a troubled time, and monsters appeared frequently. When things go wrong, there must be monsters...

Gulu gulu——

The axle pressed against the stones on the roadside and jumped from time to time. The carriage was going up the mountain road.

Uncle Lin raised his hand to set up a barrier, to be careful of the ears next door, and then solemnly said: "Several uncles and Taoist Master Jin'an all have the same concerns, so they plan to risk going deep into the tiger's den to see what happens to the old man who made livestock and the headless monk. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"

"I also want to indirectly test what the new national master's methods are. He was able to convince Emperor Kang Zhao and the remnants of Bulao Mountain successively, and also to test the new national master's path and where he came from."

Jin An frowned and pondered for a while, then asked again: "How will the court discuss the ancestor worship ceremony?"

"Ministers from various ministries wrote letters one after another, praising Emperor Kangzhao for his hard work in governance and strong national strength. This time he used his troops like a god, driving away tigers and devouring wolves, destroying the steppe Khanate, completing the great cause that several dynasties in history have failed to accomplish, and establishing the prestige of the Han people and protecting the country. The country's borders have been peaceful for thousands of years. This achievement is the first of its kind in history and has been recorded in history. Every day, Emperor Kang Zhao is requested to hold an ancestor worship ceremony as soon as possible to comfort his ancestors and continue to ensure peace in the country for generations to come. "

"Today is the time when the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs has written a petition to hold an ancestor worship ceremony to tell the world about the power of the Kangding Kingdom and the majestic talents and strategies of Emperor Kangzhao."

"Tomorrow, the Minister of Rites will write a letter to request that the ancestor worship ceremony be held..."

"The day after tomorrow, the imperial censor of the Yushi Mansion wrote a letter requesting to hold an ancestor worship ceremony..."

…

Jin An: "How did Emperor Kang Zhao express his stance?"

Uncle Lin: "They all returned the memorials on the grounds that their merits were too low to enter the ancestral temple."

Jin An sneered.

He said he didn't want to be greedy for merit, but in actual actions, the whereabouts of the old Imperial Master's body were still unknown, and he was already eager to consecrate the new Imperial Master to take office.

It seems that Emperor Kang Zhao was anxious to get himself a golden statue in the royal ancestral temple and write down his great achievements in the genealogy.

"After hearing what you said, Uncle Lin, I kind of want to meet the new national master for a while."

Jin An: "Did the Great Elder of Dashi Kingdom leave the body of the former Imperial Master before he left?"

Uncle Lin nodded: "The Great Elder, in the name of the Five Zang Taoist Temple, has handed over the remains of the old Imperial Master to his family for burial."

Jin An nodded: "Dying in peace, this can be considered a good death."

The matter of the new Imperial Master was revealed for the time being, and Jin An asked about the ruins of Dongtian Paradise.

Uncle Lin withdrew the barrier and left it to Master Chi Yuan to answer this time: "This Cave Heaven Paradise is suspected to contain the secret of the Yang God. There are fragments of fairy jade scattered inside. The ancient laws of heaven are condensed in these fairy jade fragments. The earliest explorers of Cave Heaven Paradise Everyone, everyone gets the method to break through the fourth realm from the fairy jade fragments."

"But this kind of fairy jade fragments are extremely rare. The further back you go, the harder it is to find them. It's been more than a month since someone last found a fairy jade fragment."

"But it still attracts forces from all over the world to gather in the capital, and everyone flocks to it, eager to reach the sky and become a strong man in the fourth realm."

When Master Chi Yuan saw Jin An looking at him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Taoist Master Jin An, don't look at me. When we came out, the fairy jade fragments had already been divided up, and there were less than ten fairy jade fragments in total."

"However, in addition to fairy jade fragments, there are also some fragments of heavenly materials and earthly treasures scattered in the ruins of Dongtian Paradise, attracting people from all over the world to flock here."

When he heard the fragments of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Jin An thought of the stone pole whisk magic weapon he picked up in the Yin Tomb Dojo.

When he took out this magic weapon, it aroused the admiration and wonder of Chi Yuan Zhenren and others, and finally passed it back to Jin An's hands.

"Taoist Master Jin'an, keep this treasure. If you get this rare treasure, maybe you can go further when the Cave Heaven Paradise ruins open a passage next time. If you are lucky enough to get the fairy jade fragments, you will have a chance to achieve the fourth realm." Master Chi Yuan said solemnly.

Along the way, several people talked about the underworld and the earthly world, shared information with each other, and Jin An learned more about the earthly world.

For example, the shackles of the living world have just been broken, and the laws of heaven and earth have not been fully completed. The ruins of the blessed land of the cave are sometimes open and sometimes closed, and are still unstable. Jinan has been trapped in the small underworld and does not feel anything. Many people in the living world want to enter but cannot.

…

…

As they talked, time passed quickly, and the carriage of Yujing Jinque had left the mountains and entered the suburbs of Beijing.

After leaving the mountains, the number of villages seen along the way began to increase. After five years, the prosperity of the human world reappeared in front of people.

Jinan's expression was dazed for a moment, and he sighed that he was reborn as a human being. It was still lively in the living world.

Suddenly, the carriage was blocked by a mourning procession from a nearby village, and the carriage stopped and gave way.

Jinan lifted the curtain and saw that the mourning procession was carrying a black coffin into the mountain for burial. There was also a country witch in the mourning procession who scattered incense ashes and performed rituals all the way.

People who died suddenly were buried in black coffins.

And there were also country witches performing rituals.

It seems that the person in the coffin died a little unpeacefully.

"It's OK here in the capital. There isn't much turmoil. It was quickly quelled. And we have to thank the strange phenomenon of two suns in the same sky in the blessed land. The yang is strong and the yin is weak. The evil spirits are not as rampant as in other places." Uncle Lin said.

Jinan nodded and remained silent.

...

The capital.

Jinan was attracted by the city wall of the capital that was being renovated. A large section of the top of the city collapsed. The new blue bricks formed a clear outline with the surrounding blue bricks that had been deposited over the years, which was out of place.

Put up scaffolding, assemble pulleys, mix lime, carry wood... Everyone was busy doing their own job, trying to complete the wall repair as soon as possible.

As if seeing the surprise in Jin'an's eyes, Xuan Lei Zhenren, who had the loudest voice, had already explained: "The great witches of the grassland Khanate, seeing that they failed to ambush and kill the masters of Yujing Jinque and Tianshi Mansion, wanted to take advantage of the chaotic opportunity when the Four Symbols Bureau of Breaking the Sky and the Earth was broken to enter the capital and stir up the foundation of the country. These are the traces of the battle that day."

"It's a pity that those great witches have entered the fourth realm. They are not so easy to kill. They chased them all the way out of Kangding State and finally disappeared in the depths of the vast grassland."

Looking at the city wall that was still under repair, Jin'an's eyes showed some contemplation and realization.

It seems that Emperor Kang Zhao delayed the ancestral worship ceremony for another reason. It is estimated that he wanted to wait until the city wall was repaired before he had the face to enter the ancestral temple to see the royal ancestors...

Jin'an, who was looking at the city wall and thinking, suddenly became alert: "There is murderous intent!"

As soon as the voice fell, the ground shook suddenly, rumbling, and the earth trembled, accompanied by the screams and avoidance of the people in the capital.

A goat as big as an ox and fatter than a pig came running with its four hooves rumbling and its eyes red.

Behind the goat, an old dog that looked like a human was chasing after him, and behind the dog leash was an old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest was holding the dog leash tightly with both hands, and was being dragged fiercely with his face facing the ground. His life or death was unknown.

Behind the old Taoist priest who was being dragged, a large group of criminal inspectors were chasing after him in a hurry, trying to grab the dog leash and rescue the old Taoist priest who was being dragged all the way.

Wherever the goat, the dog and the old Taoist priest passed by, there was chaos.
