White Bone Monkey King

The torch fell about ten feet deep and reached the bottom. There was no water in the well, but a dry stone platform.

Not only was there no water, but there were no bones left by the previous corpses.

"Why is there not even a single corpse?"

"It shouldn't be."

Fatty Li and the old Taoist priest looked at the situation in the well and were surprised at the same time.

Rustle——

Rustle——

In the claustrophobic and quiet space, there were suddenly bursts of sand rubbing sounds. Listening carefully, they found that it came from the well. Fatty Li and the old Taoist priest held their breath at the same time.

There is something in this well!

With the help of the dim light of the torch, they noticed that the wall of the well was not sealed, and there was always a cold wind blowing.

Whoosh!

A cold wind suddenly blew from the bottom of the well, and the torch suddenly went out, causing the well to fall into darkness.

"Why did the torch go out!"

"Something flashed by in the well!"

The two men exclaimed, reacting quickly and throwing down another torch, but there was nothing at the bottom of the well, even the torch thrown down before was gone, and disappeared.

Hiss!

"What a fast speed, little brother, did you see clearly what just flashed by?" The old Taoist turned around and asked Jin'an.

Jin'an frowned: "It was a human hand."

Human hand?

Could it be that the dead whose bodies were thrown here were nourished by the Yin energy in the well and revived?

Or was it that the female corpse in the coffin came back to life on the seventh day and has been wandering in the well?

Then, Jin'an was the first to go down the well. He wanted to see where this ancient ruins with many connections would eventually lead to.

The second one to go down was the old dog who looked like a human.

Although the old dog usually only eats, sleeps lazily and farts, he was also a not-so-simple character when he was able to dig graves and pick up bones in Guimo Mountain.

The old dog jumped several times on the wall of the well, and finally, he landed on all fours as steady as an old dog.

Fatty Li was also a martial arts expert, and he easily went down to the bottom of the well with the old Taoist priest on his back: "Master Chen, what did you eat tonight? It's so heavy to carry you?"

"Don't look at you, Master Chen, you look thin, you have a lot of dry goods in your stomach."

The old Taoist priest, who was afraid of heights, had just landed and was about to take a deep breath to relax, but suddenly his face changed drastically and he covered his mouth and nose tightly with his Taoist robe: "The bloody and rotten smell in this well is so strong that I almost fainted on the spot!"

The old Taoist priest held his breath nervously and dared not breathe deeply anymore.

The space in the well was very spacious, and more than 20 people could stand. There were seven statues erected on the wall of the well, and there was a bronze altar in front of each statue.

The altar was covered with a thick layer of dust, the incense burner was covered with cobwebs, and the candlesticks with incense and candles were either overturned or rolled to the ground. These details gave people a sense of desolation that no one had come here to clean and worship for a long time.

The bronze statues were human-bodied statues with dragon heads. The seven statues had different expressions of joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and shock.

Being stared at by so many strange expressions at close range made the atmosphere here even more eerie and strange.

There was a hole the size of two fists in the chest of each dragon-headed human-bodied statue. It was pitch black behind the hole and nothing could be seen.

However, under the illumination of the torch, a lot of blood was seen near the hole in the chest of the statue. These bloodstains were both new and old, and accumulated very thickly. Even some meat fragments were seen. Some of the meat fragments had been dried by the wind and had existed for who knows how many years.

The cold wind in the well was blown out from the holes in the chests of these statues.

Seeing the blood and meat fragments on the surface of the statues, the old Taoist priest shouted: "Little brother, could it be that the human hands you saw just now stretched out from the big holes in the chests of these statues?"

Hearing this, Fatty Li and Lao Gou subconsciously moved away from the bronze statues and stood in the middle of the well. Fatty Li frowned: "Master Chen, what you mean is that the dead bodies thrown into the well were torn into pieces and eaten by the hands stretched out from behind the statues?"

Fat Li looked around the seven statues in the well: "There are a total of seven dragon-headed human statues here. There are at least seven man-eating creatures hidden in the well!"

Jin An patted Lao Gou's head at this time: "My Wuzang Taoist Temple does not support idle people. It's up to you next."

"Help me find the statue with the latest bloody smell."

The old dog circled the bottom of the well a few times, then bared his teeth at one of the statues and crouched down to make an attacking gesture.

Jin An touched the dog's head. He came to the bronze statue. Just as he was looking at the hole in the statue's chest, in the dark world behind the statue's chest, a cold and numb blue eyeball, like a ghost's eye, was lying behind the hole and looking at them coldly.

"Sneaky."

Jin An pointed like lightning, blood splashed, and he poked the eyeball behind the hole of the statue with one finger.

A hoarse and low human scream of pain sounded, the statue shook violently, the chains on the wall of the well trembled, and a lot of dust fell. It sounded like something behind the statue was painfully hitting the statue.

When Jin An retracted his fingers, he saw an eyeball between his index and middle fingers, dripping blood.

The old Taoist priest, Fatty Li, and the old dog felt a chill on their backs, and subconsciously raised their hands to cover their eyes.

It was strange that the eyeball could move back and forth after leaving the body, and it was not dead, but the eyeball had been pierced by Jin An's fingertips, so even if he wanted to see, he could not see anything.

Perhaps because he was blind and couldn't see what was happening outside, the movement behind the statue quickly stopped and became dead silent.

sulfuric acid!

Shang Fuhu beast-faced divine sword was unsheathed, and with one blow, he smashed the bronze statue with a dragon head and a human body in front of him, with great force and swiftness.

boom!

The void shook with violent ripples, generating violent airflow, as if a layer of Qimen Dunjia barrier was broken.

There was nothing behind the statue, only blood dripping all over the ground.

Jin An put his knife back into the sheath, pinched his eyeball in his hand, and strode into the secret passage behind the statue.

Several people and a dog hurriedly caught up.

Following the blood on the ground, Jin An came to a huge stone platform that looked like an altar. The reason why it looked like an altar was because he saw a four-legged bronze square tripod on the huge stone platform.

The bronze square tripod has always been closely related to sacrifice, alchemy, and cooking.

Then he saw many human skeletons in the bronze square tripod. There were clear tooth marks on the surface of these skeletons. It seemed that the bronze square tripod was the place where the monster behind the statue ate.

"It seems that someone deliberately fed the man-eating monster in the underground ruins of the capital." Jin An's voice was cold, with a hint of murderous intent overflowing.

The man-eating monster was not here. It seemed to have intelligence. It should have noticed that Jin An was tracking the blood. The blood on the ground disappeared here.

But Jin An had plenty of ways to track it.

This time he did not use the Taoist art of searching for objects, but instead used the Luogeng Jade Plate to track it, hoping that the Luogeng Jade Plate could lead him to the lair of the man-eating monster and catch all these evil spirits.

As Jin An placed his eyes on the Luogeng Jade Plate, the artifact quickly sensed it and took him deep into the ruins, which was as huge and complex as an underground palace and full of forks.

Along the way, he encountered two identical man-eating cooking cauldrons.

The further he went in, the more foul the stench became, as if there was a large corpse pit deep in the ruins of the previous dynasty, which was constantly emitting the stench of corruption.

Soon, they came to a huge low-lying space, where they encountered a huge man-eating cooking cauldron that was ten times larger than the man-eating square cauldron they had seen before.

The huge man-eating cooking cauldron was filled with ghostly energy and the stench of corruption was constantly wafting out from it.

When they arrived here, they happened to see many crowded figures kneeling on the ground, worshiping the huge man-eating cooking cauldron.

There were people kneeling in all directions.

It seemed that some evil ritual was being held.

However, the ritual of these people was interrupted with the arrival of Jin An.

A pair of cold and numb eyes raised, flashing with ghostly green light, staring at the few living people who suddenly appeared.

Jin An first looked up at the huge bronze square tripod, and then turned his eyes to the dark crowd of people kneeling in front of him: "What the hell are you? My spiritual sense can't detect your existence at all."

"No wonder you can hide in the underground of the capital and pretend to be ghosts without being discovered."

In response to Jin An, these people rushed towards Jin An with bloodthirsty madness.

"Don't know whether to live or die, how dare you stop the car." Jin An snorted coldly.

He didn't need to make any movements. He just took a step, and behind him appeared three suns shining together, and the strange scene of blood and blood covering the sky appeared. The martial arts immortal was full of blood and blood, and his blood was like a furnace. Wherever he passed, all the monsters were suppressed and couldn't raise their heads, and couldn't move an inch.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Figures exploded one after another, and each explosion turned into a broken lead-mercury pill that fell to the ground.

A wisp of spirit emerged from the broken lead-mercury pill, trying to drill back into the cannibal square tripod, but under the suppression of the blood and qi of the martial arts immortal, Jin An didn't need to make a move at all, and all these spirits exploded in the air.

Great Dao Sensing!

One thousand Yin De!

One thousand Yin De!

One thousand Yin De!

…

"Lead-mercury pill?"

"What kind of demon is here to refine a demon pill that harms people!"

Jin An shouted coldly, and walked towards the bronze square tripod step by step. Wherever he passed, no lead-mercury pill could withstand the martial arts immortal's Yang Nian to crush the spirit attached to the object.

The pseudo-fourth-level martial arts immortal is indeed domineering.

He didn't make a move throughout the whole process, and only relied on the blood and qi to control, and he blew up all the lead-mercury pills refined by these Shinto masters.

One thousand Yin De is equivalent to the combat power of the second level of Shinto. It is reasonable that he has no power to resist when colliding with the pseudo-fourth-level strongman.

The battle came suddenly and ended suddenly. It was too weak. Before Jinan could make a move, all the pills were broken into pieces and destroyed.

In just a few moments, he had gained 100,000 Yin De.

Jinan came to the bronze square tripod as if he was in an empty place. He jumped up and jumped onto the bronze square tripod and saw the scene inside.

A Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged in the bronze square tripod. He was refining lead-mercury pills in the bronze square tripod.

Just as Jinan jumped onto the bronze square tripod, he happened to see the other party successfully refining a lead-mercury pill. The Taoist priest raised his hand and grabbed two human eyes from the bronze square tripod and put them into the lead-mercury pill.

The lead-mercury pill, which was originally a dead object, came to life in an instant like the finishing touch, and turned into a lifelike person on the spot, but this person had a vicious face, like a ghost.

As soon as he saw Jinan, he pounced on him like a hungry ghost.

He was killed by Jinan's blood and qi without any suspense.

"Daoyou, do you and I have a grudge..." Before the man in the cauldron could finish his words, Jin An smashed his head with a slap.

This is another lead-mercury pill!

Dao induction!

One hundred thousand Yin De!

Equivalent to the third realm of the divine way!

Original god attachment, third realm lead-mercury pill, these are not surprising, Jin An himself is a master of controlling the lead-mercury holy fetus.

What surprised him was that this lead-mercury pill could help its owner refine the lead-mercury pill, and it could also avoid the detection of divine consciousness, making it appear and disappear like a ghost.

Jin An picked up the broken lead and mercury pills, lowered his head and pondered. It seemed that all this was related to the special materials used in the lead and mercury pills.

Jin An glanced at the bronze square tripod at his feet.

There are many human eyes left in the cauldron, full of resentment. They should be leftovers from some past sacrificial activities.

Eyes are objects that hide spirits, which is why the bronze square tripod is favored by evil people.

Naturally, Jin An would not keep such an evil thing that was harmful to people. He destroyed it on the spot and gained another hundred thousand Yin De.

A total of 300,000 Yin De were gained before and after.

Jin An did not stop exploring the second floor of the former dynasty's ruins. He placed the fragments of lead and mercury pills and the fragments of the bronze tripod one by one on the Luo Geng jade plate and tried to sense it. The Luo Geng jade plate was calm, and it seemed that the remaining evil spirits had been wiped out for the time being.

The second floor of the ruins of the previous dynasty was very large. Jin An explored it for half an hour. Seeing that he had not found any new clues or found any other gatherings of evil and resentment, he planned to return to the ground to hunt for the murderer.

The person hiding underground and playing tricks is Lead Mercury Danwan. The culprit behind the scenes may still be out there.

There were no other twists and turns on the original route back to the ground. During the return, he directly destroyed the seven-star giant coffin and the Dragon Locking Well, cutting off the source of the disaster.

"Fat Li, give me that embroidered shoe." Once he returned to the ground, Jin An did not waste any time and continued to chase the murderer non-stop.

Luo Geng's jade plate once again played a big role and quickly traced the first murder scene of the owner of the embroidered shoes.

"Tiangong Miao Pavilion?"

"Fat Li, do you know who is behind this rouge shop?"

The carriage stopped in front of a rouge shop in Spice Shop. Jin An lifted the curtains and looked at the Luo Geng jade plate held in his hand.

Impartially, pointing right at the rouge shop in front of me.

Seeing Tiangong Miao Pavilion, Fatty Li's expression changed and he did not dare to hide anything. He answered truthfully: "Tiangong Miao Pavilion is very popular among the upper class circles of the capital. Whether it is making Shidai, rouge or makeup powder, it has been published There are many excellent products. 'Skin as creamy, white as beautiful jade' used to be used to describe a woman's beauty, but now many people use it to describe Tiangong Miaoge's rouge makeup powder, praising its ability to restore beauty and rejuvenate. "

"The shopkeeper behind Tiangong Miao Pavilion is Su Susu, the courtesan of the capital seven years ago and the first courtesan. Su Susu's ancestors were also from a famous family, but later their family fell into decline. Although she joined a brothel to survive, she did not sell herself as an artist. Because she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, He is quite famous among the officials in the capital."

"Seven years ago, Su Susu won the title of Oiran. On the same day, she was redeemed by a mysterious man. Not long after, she became the manager of Tiangong Miao Pavilion. Tiangong Miao Pavilion's reputation quickly spread among the celebrities in the capital. Even many noble concubines in the palace were admired. Su Susu, I only buy rouge powder from Tiangong Miaoge.”

"The outside world has been speculating about the identity of the mysterious sponsor behind Tiangong Miao Pavilion. In fact, the real sponsor of Tiangong Miao Pavilion is an academician of the current Taiyuan Hospital, with an official rank of fifth rank."

"To put it bluntly, Su Susu is just a famous prostitute. The royal concubines in the palace buy the rouge and makeup from Tiangong Miao Pavilion because they are interested in the academicians of the Taiyuan Hospital, and behind the academicians of the Taiyuan Hospital is the entire Taiyuan Hospital. How can a courtesan who has fallen into the world of mortals be able to become a concubine? Their eyes are just a reason to hide from others.”

No wonder Fatty Li's expression changed just now.

If the academician of the Taiyuan Hospital was involved in a murder case, both killing people and dumping corpses, and the involvement was too great, and even pulling out carrots and bringing them out of the mud would involve many interests in the harem, Emperor Kangzhao's harem would be on fire.
