White Bone Monkey King

The changes before our eyes were too sudden.

All the torches were mysteriously extinguished at once, and people's vision suddenly darkened.

Then the raft sank.

Something is aboard...

All this happened in a short moment.

There was absolutely no chance of an emergency.

It smells like blood!

The blood is so rich that it makes you sick!

"Little brother!"

"Sharpen the sword!"

"Are you guys okay?"

In the blinding darkness, the urgent low shout of the old Taoist priest came from the stern direction of the boat.

But when a person goes from a bright place to darkness, the human eye cannot adapt immediately in a short period of time. The old Taoist priest only feels that besides darkness, there is still darkness in front of him.

Straight up blind.

"I'm fine, old man. Something's on board. Just hide and don't make any sound!" Jin An's response came immediately in the darkness.

Jin An finished speaking.

There was a hot red horse that lit up in the darkness. It was Jin An who took action decisively.

He swung his knife directly in the vague direction of the thing boarding the ship in the darkness.

When the red sword light struck out, it also illuminated the raft in a circle.

call--

Jin An's sword slashed through the air, hitting only the air. The red sword light in his hand only illuminated the two red faces of him and the old Taoist priest in the darkness. The sword was sharpened and disappeared.

When the torch light was lit again, only half of the body was left standing on the raft where the sword was originally sharpened. The intestines and blood flowed all over the raft. Only the lower body and the body above the waist and abdomen disappeared.

It looked like half of his body had been bitten off by something on top of his head.

The smell of blood in the closed cave became even stronger.

"Sharp, sharpen the sword..."

The old Taoist priest's eyes turned red and he burst into tears immediately. He was so sad that he went to hug the half corpse.

But as soon as the old Taoist priest approached half of the corpse, he cried: "Little brother, that's wrong. The clothes on this man's body are not sword-cutting clothes. Why is it a dark gray long coat?"

"He's not sharpening the sword, old man, look above our heads." Jin An held up a torch and shined it on the top of the cave, as if he had made some important discovery.

When he heard that it was not a corpse with a sword, the old Taoist wiped away his tears and snot with the sleeves of his Taoist robe, and looked up at the top of the cave by the light of the torch in Jin An's hand.

"!"

The old Taoist priest was stunned.

The statue of the Tomb Beast that was still hanging above their heads disappeared, revealing a hole the size of a person.

The entrance to the cave was so dark that even with a torch, it couldn't illuminate what was inside.

Because it was blocked by the Tomb Beast before, I didn't realize there was such a hole above my head.

call--

call--

There is airflow blowing out of the hole, which should be connected to the outside world.

Just now, their torches were blown out by the wind blowing from the entrance of the cave.

"No wonder we went so deep into the cave and never felt that the air was stuffy or uncomfortable. The Cave of Thousand Corpses is still connected to the outside world. The torch was extinguished by the wind just now."

"Old man, I just thought I saw a ghost blowing out the lamp..."

After learning that the person who died was not a sharp sword, the old Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, and then he also moved his head to look at the hole above his head.

"Old Taoist, the corpse with only the lower body, if I guessed correctly, should belong to one of the Yin Yang or Feng Shui masters who came with the people crossing the river. You see there is blood near the entrance of the cave. It was obviously taken away by a sneak attack. He killed someone, dragged him into a cave, killed him, and was eaten."

Jin An held a torch in his hand and carefully observed the entrance of the cave.

"It seems we are on the right track. We are taking the same correct route as the people crossing the river."

"The people crossing the river were walking ahead of us, and they also encountered a series of strange things exactly like us, and they also saw people and beasts suppressing tombs."

"Then, like us, the torches went out and we were plunged into darkness, under attack from overhead."

"As for the extra half of the corpse on our ship, it should be something hiding in the hole above our head. When they attacked us in the dark, they left behind uneaten human bodies."

The old Taoist priest was worried about the safety of sharpening the sword, and said anxiously: "Doesn't that mean that the person who took away the sharpening sword was the same murderer who ate the upper body of this man? Sharpening the sword is dangerous!"

"The Renxi Tomb Beast eats people. Sure enough, there will always be unknown strange things happening in the big tomb of the Renxi Tomb Beast. Isn't the sharp sword already eaten by the Renxi Tomb Beast..."

The old Taoist priest became even more worried about the safety of sharpening his sword.

Wandering around anxiously on the raft.

Jin An frowned.

Now even he is in a dilemma.

The hole above his head is very large, and it is not difficult for him to get in alone. But now that the sword has disappeared, if he goes into the hole to find the sword and leaves the old Taoist priest alone in the Cave of Thousand Corpses, if another accident happens to the old Taoist priest, the sword will disappear. The whereabouts of the sword are unknown again, and he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Sword sharpening and old Taoist priests are both important.

None of the three of them can have any accidents.

After pondering for a moment, Jin An said to the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, wait for me for a while. I will go into the cave to see if I can find a sharp sword. If the hole in the cave above my head is very deep and I won't be able to finish it in a while, I will Exit in time, and then think of another strategy to sharpen the sword."

After hearing this, the old Taoist priest had no objection and hurriedly urged Jin An to find something to sharpen his sword.

Let Jin An not worry about his safety.

He has traveled alone in the world for so many years, and he knows how to protect himself in dangerous places.

Although the cave roof is a bit high from the raft, it does not affect Jin'an at all.

He jumped up lightly and already grabbed the entrance of the cave with his hands.

Use both arms.

The person has successfully entered the cave entrance.

As a result, just after entering the cave entrance, Jin An was almost blown away by the smell of the cave.

The smell of blood, the smell of rotting corpses, and some unspeakable strange smells mixed together and turned into a foul smell.

…

The old Taoist priest was the only one left on the raft.

He did not sit still and planned to draw talismans on the raft and draw "Xingqi Golden Seal Script".

The old Taoist priests have nothing else to do with copying "Xing Qi Jin Guang Seal", except that they are familiar with it.

But before the old Taoist priest could copy a few spells, Jin An, who had just entered the hole above his head, quickly retreated.

"No, the caves above extend in all directions. Just like the Cave of Thousand Corpses, there are many forks. People can easily lose their way in it." Jin An returned to the raft and shook his head at the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest was worried about the safety of sharpening the sword. The longer this went on, the more dangerous it would be to sharpen the sword.

Just as the two were discussing countermeasures, how to find a sharp sword, suddenly, there was only silence between the two of them, and in the dark cave of thousands of corpses, there was a splashing sound and splashing water.

The sound of falling water was particularly harsh in the empty silence and darkness, and echoed far away.

"Little brother! This time it's coming from the direction behind us again!"

The old Taoist priest and Jin An turned around and looked behind them at the same time.

"Shh, listen carefully, there seems to be some movement!" Jin An made a silent motion toward the old Taoist priest, and then listened carefully to the movement in the darkness behind him.

The old Taoist priest immediately held his breath.

Wow——

Wow——

The water waves pressed against the water waves, and there was a quick sound. This time, the Cave of Thousand Corpses was not peaceful anymore. Something was swimming towards them from the water!

"Old Taoist, stand in the middle and protect yourself, something is coming towards us!"

Jin An held a torch in one hand and a tiger sword in the other, and shouted to the old Taoist priest in a low voice.

The old Taoist priest had already hurriedly taken out a few treasures from his Tai Chi Bagua bag, and stared at the darkness behind him with his muscles tense.

He grabbed a handful of glutinous rice in his hand to deal with evil corpses, and a mahogany sword for self-defense.

His grandma, if something in the water wants to board the boat, he will just stab it into the water with his sword.

The movement under the dark water surface is getting closer and closer, and the sound of water waves is getting faster and faster.

"Such a big movement, a big guy is definitely coming this time!"

The old Taoist priest looked nervous.

But when the torch was shining on the water, nothing could be seen, except black, it was still pitch black.

suddenly.

The sound of water waves suddenly disappeared.

Disappeared under the raft.

Just when Jin An and the old Taoist priest were preparing to be hit from under the raft, the two of them were just ready. Bang, the raft shook. A man's arm was placed on the raft, and someone jumped onto the raft from under the river, all wet. Water dripping down.

"Sharpen the sword!"

"Sharpen the sword!"

Jin An and the old Taoist priest spoke in surprise.

The person who boarded the boat was Xiejian, who had disappeared for a while, and he was holding a strange corpse in Xiejian's hand.

boom.

Chi Jian, who was soaked all over, threw the monster corpse in his hand onto the raft.

"Master, my disciple caught this. It was this thing that attacked us just now."

Yin Deyi.

The familiar feeling of the avenue comes again

It's still the sharp sword that Jin An is familiar with, unchanged at all.

It turned out that at the moment when the torch was blown out, there was something above the head, which immediately attacked Xiejian. However, Xiejian, as a thief, was very alert and immediately launched a counterattack.

In panic.

The thing that sneaked up on the sword escaped back into the hole above his head.

He sharpened his sword and launched a pursuit.

There is another universe in the cave above the head, which can reach everywhere in all directions. He is very bold in sharpening his sword and keeps chasing that thing.

What he caught after sharpening his sword was a strange corpse of a tomb beast carrying a human on its back.

This strange corpse is dead and does not rot. It looks lifelike and looks like a living person. But it is strange to say that this person's skin is as white as wax. It is different from the weird evil corpses and evil corpses that Jin'an has encountered in the past. no the same.

On the back of this monster corpse was a stone statue of the Tomb Beast.

But this man's stone statue of the tomb beast was connected with the corpse by flesh and blood.

It turned out that through special techniques, the stone statue of the tomb beast and the skin on the human back were adhered together.

Even if this person dies, he will not be able to live in peace.

You have to carry your own tomb beast for life after life.

Unable to rest in peace.

"Little brother, be careful, don't touch this corpse yet." The old Taoist frowned solemnly and stopped Jin An.

"Little brother, look at the surface of this corpse. The skin and flesh are waxy white. This is a body that was forcibly poured with mercury and killed while it was still alive. It is a specially made incorruptible corpse to be buried with the owner of the tomb. Because after death, , blood cannot circulate, so if you want to embalm a corpse, you can only achieve the most perfect embalming effect by forcing the person to drink highly toxic mercury while he is still alive, and allowing it to flow throughout the body through the blood."

"This corpse is not as simple as an ordinary evil corpse. This person was buried alive. Before he died, the skin of his back was glued to the stone statue alive and used as a tomb beast to replace the owner of the tomb. Guard the entrance to the tomb.”

"After the human skin and the tomb beast are glued together, and the wound on the back is healed, and the tomb beast has completely grown together, then the human skin is filled with mercury, so as to keep the body incorruptible for thousands of years and forever. If you don’t enter the reincarnation, you will have to carry people on your back, suppress the tomb beasts, and guard the entrance to the tomb for eternity.”

"This tomb owner has a gangster heart and used such vicious methods to create a tomb gatekeeper for him!"

As the old Taoist priest talked, he couldn't help but cursed the owner of the tomb for disrespecting human life.

Mercury is highly toxic.

That's why the old Taoist priest just stopped Jin An from touching the corpse.

The reason why he is not afraid of these poisons when cutting a sword should be related to his identity as a corpse collector. The training methods of each corpse collector are very special, and they can no longer be classified as normal people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is immune to all poisons.

At this time, the gatekeeper had been killed with a sharp sword, half of his chest was missing, and the wound was sharp, as if cut by a sharp blade.

The cut half of the chest revealed waxy white fibrotic lungs.

These are the mercury that was forcibly fed to me while I was still alive. The mercury flows through the body through the blood and then settles in various organs of the body.

"Chi Jian, is this the only gatekeeper in the cave above your head?" Jin An asked Chi Jian.

Xiajian nodded.

This janitor was covered in mercury, which was highly poisonous and could not be taken with him. Although they felt sorry for what he was going through, Jin An and the old Taoist priest decided to seal the man back into the cave above his head.

After finishing all this work, I switched back to Jin'an to hold the pole again, and the raft began to continue on its way.

…

Along the way, we didn't encounter any more human or tomb beasts.

Peaceful journey.

And with the sharp sword leading the way, this Cave of Thousand Corpses, which is like a trance formation, has minimal impact on Jin An and the others.

You can always find the right path.

People have been in the dark for a long time. Without reference points, the concept of time has become increasingly blurred. No one knows how far they have traveled in the Cave of Thousand Corpses.

No one knows how big this Thousand Corpses Cave is.

Has the entire mountain range been hollowed out?

When people are in the dark, they always feel that time passes extremely long...

After walking in the darkness for who knows how long, green light began to appear in the originally dark Cave of Thousand Corpses, and more and more stars began to appear.

These green lights are actually phosphorus fires that can only be found in cemeteries.

The presence of phosphorus fire indicates that there are a large number of corpses here.

As the raft moved forward, there began to be more phosphorus fires on the road, and the water channel began to become narrower.

At first, Jin An thought that the water channel was narrowed due to the terrain, but as the water channel became narrower and narrower, when the old Taoist priest took a torch and shined a light next to him, the corpse!

Countless corpses.

Densely packed.

It’s piled up here.

Hundreds of corpses piled up in the waterways, blocking them and causing them to become narrow.

The corpses of these dead people have turned white because they have been soaked in the river water for many years.

But strangely, none of them rotted.

These corpses include both men and women. They are the corpses of boat passengers, ship dealers, and ordinary people who have drowned in the big bend of the Yinyi River over the years. After being washed away by the river into the Cave of Thousand Corpses, they were finally stranded here.

until……

There were several corpses with their tongues pulled out, hanging from hemp ropes above their heads, blocking their path and making it impossible to get around.
