White Bone Monkey King

Creak——

Creak——

The wheels of the carriage creaked and turned, and they moved forward slowly in the dark night. Under the dark night where everything was so dark that it was difficult to see clearly, there was a creepy illusion of fingernails scratching.

Four big men who were escort masters carried the coffin and walked silently in the dark night.

As there were more and more lush forests around, the escort carriage went more and more remote, and the four people walked more and more desolate. The coffin on the carriage covered with cinnabar ink lines and covered with yellow symbols looked even more sinister.

If it were anyone else walking this kind of night road, they would be scared out of their wits.

But this was what the escort masters were supposed to do, so the four big men seemed to be used to such situations and continued on their way.

"Boss, look there, is there a village?"

"Is that the Jiangxin Village that the employer mentioned?"

Under the night, a big man with good eyesight quietly said to the escort leader who was walking at the front.

He didn't raise his hands and point randomly in the dark night, but used his eyes to indicate the direction. Dry graves can often be seen in the wilderness, so don't point randomly when walking at night, so as not to collide with a certain wild god in the Oshiin escort. , causing them unnecessary trouble.

These are taboos for escorts.

The head escort is a big man with a two or three-foot long bamboo tube slung across his back. The bamboo tube is sealed at both ends, tied with a rope, and tied cross-body to the back of the escort head.

The place where the four of them are now is halfway up the mountain. They are going down the mountain, and beside the official road at the foot of the mountain, there is a small village with a vague outline.

That village was a small fishing village by the river. It was the only small, lonely village that existed in the vast vast land.

"Since it is called Jiangxin Village, then this village should be related to the river. It seems that this small village built by the river should be the Jiangxin Village we are looking for."

"Let's go over and have a look."

"Even if it's not Jiangxin Village, it's going to get dark soon, and we can stay in the village for the day."

The escort chief said in a deep voice.

Then, the four big men escorted the coffin and walked towards the small village beside the official road at the foot of the mountain.

The moonlight shines down from the top of the head.

This is a desolate, dilapidated little village.

The village is very quiet. There are twenty or thirty dilapidated adobe houses scattered here and there. But now these adobe houses are empty and desolate.

Creak, creak.

The sound of the wheels slowly entered this desolate small village. In this empty and deserted village, it seemed extremely clear and harsh, and the sound spread far away.

After the four people entered the village, what they saw along the way were overgrown weeds and dilapidated scenes of many houses with collapsed earthen walls.

Crackling.

The torches in the hands of the four people flickered and burned in the dark night.

At this time, there was an ox cart leaning over in the middle of the village. As the escort car went around the leaning ox cart, a big man reached out and touched the cart, and a thick layer of dust fell on his fingertips.

He frowned and said softly: "Boss, this village has been abandoned for at least ten years."

The village was not big, and the four escorts quickly completed a circle around the village. This was an empty, dead and deserted village, with no one in the village.

"anyone there?"

"Is there anyone?"

After walking around for a while, the four people escorted the coffin on the escort cart and returned to the central intersection of the village where the cattle cart was leaning on the roadside.

But as the escort leader shouted, the village remained cold and desolate, especially quiet in the dark night, and no one responded to him.

This is a lifeless village with not even a ghost in sight.

Seeing that no one answered him, the guard's eyes darkened.

"My four brothers are escort masters. They were specially ordered by their employer to bring a spy escort to Jiangxin Village to meet a contact named Jiang."

"If this is Jiangxin Village, can you show your face so that the four of us brothers can have business relationships?"

The escort leader shouted in the empty village again.

But this is a dead village.

It's so quiet.

"Boss, is it possible that this deserted village is not the Jiangxin Village we are looking for?"

A famous man said suspiciously.

The head guard's eyes were sinking like water under the cold moonlight. Holding a torch in his hand, he looked around, and then found an adobe house that seemed to have a relatively intact main body.

"This should be Jiangxin Village. Stay in this empty village for a day and check the situation. It's almost dawn. Baoshan and I will find a shaded place for the coffin first. We'll wait for you in the house in front. You are in the village. Look around to see if there are any other clues."

The Baoshan the escort was referring to was a short, stocky man with a fiery temper who almost had a fight with the inhuman waiter in the Yuanyanglou Inn a few days ago.

Perhaps it was because of this man's impulsive personality that the bodyguard leader kept him by his side and asked the other two to search the village.

The four people present are naturally not timid people who can make a living as an escort master.

They began to act separately in this strange and empty village.

I saw one of them pulling out an umbrella made of steel blades, with scriptures written on it to ward off evil spirits.

The other item is a Tantric stick made of bronze. The Tantric stick is made entirely of bronze. In the past, people mistook brass for gold and believed that bronze, like gold, has the same effect of suppressing evil and exorcising spirits.

Over time, it became increasingly popular among folk to use brass instead of gold to create exorcism instruments.

Then, the two people began to separate to the left and right, and inspected each room.

The bodyguard and the tall man named Baoshan escorted the carriage carrying the coffin into a courtyard.

In the entire village, there are not many earthen houses that can provide protection from wind and rain. Most of them have collapsed walls, roofs have collapsed, or the earthen walls are leaking from all sides and are crumbling. There are only one or two earthen houses that can barely stay in.

The yard has been in disrepair for a long time, and most of the stone walls have collapsed, and are no longer able to keep out wild beasts and jumping corpses.

After the carriage stopped in the yard, the escort and Baoshan began to skillfully pull out a few sticks and large cloth bags from under the carriage, and set up a black tent for the carriage to prevent the coffin inside from being exposed to the sun after dawn.

Before supporting the tent, the two of them picked up tree branches with thick leaves from the roadside, and quickly used the tree branches as brooms to sweep away all the dust and small insects on the ground.

After the two men finished sweeping, they did not forget to take out lime powder and realgar powder, carefully sprinkled them all over the yard, and then set up a tent on the coffin.

This tent is both sunproof and rainproof.

As for lime powder and realgar powder, they are actually not difficult to buy among the public.

Every time they passed through a village or town where humans gathered, they would buy some spare ones, so they didn't feel bad about spreading them all over the yard.

In their line of work, they eat dead people's food and make dead people's money. If they are not careful, they would have capsized in the gutter.

After the coffin was placed, the head guard went into the house to check. Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the house, he called Baoshan who was looking at the coffin in the yard to come in with him.

The two simply tidied up the house, cleared an open space, and then picked up some dry wood and lit a bonfire, which instantly illuminated the cool and empty house that no one had visited for many years.

boom! The man named Baoshan used his bare hands to tear down the dilapidated wooden door of the house with only one door left, so that they could always keep an eye on the coffin in the yard outside.

"Boss, it seems that this village has been abandoned for a long time. The wooden door is so rotten that it can be broken with just a light break. This saves us the trouble of looking for matches and firewood everywhere."

Baoshan, who had a hot temper, couldn't sit still and said curiously while tearing down the door panel: "Guard leader, why do you think the employer would let us come to such an empty village that has been abandoned for a long time to be a spy?"

"In our line of work, if you ask less and do more, you can live a few more years."

The escort head glared at Baoshan.

Baoshan was a little afraid of the escort. After being scolded, he shrank his head and continued to demolish the door panel with his head down.

at this time.

There were footsteps outside the yard. It was the two men who had left earlier who were the escort masters who had returned.

"Boss, we have searched everywhere, but there is not a single living person in this village."

The big man holding a tantric stick made of brass said in a strong voice.

"I didn't find anything here, escort." The big man holding the steel-blade umbrella engraved with scriptures also shook his head.

"Boss, what should we do next? Keep waiting?"

asked the big man with a tantric stick in his hand.

In the empty dilapidated room, the escort frowned tightly.

"I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy tonight, as if something is going to happen. We escorts deal with dead people all day long. Some things are more trustworthy than trustworthy. I plan to ask God Master, take a night tour with your soul to see what is going on in this Jiangxin Village."

Without further ado.

After the escort chief finished speaking, he began to make preparations.

I saw him unfastening the bamboo tube slung on his back, then taking off the covers at both ends, and poured out a scroll from the bamboo tube.

When the scroll is spread out.

It was an ancient painting with a slightly yellowish color and a certain age. There was a Celestial Master and Taoist painted on the ancient painting.

The escort began to burn incense and offer sacrifices to the Taoist Master.

At first, the three incense sticks enshrining the portrait only burned slowly at a normal speed, but suddenly, the incense burned faster.

The light of the incense burner was also a little brighter.

This is obviously something invisible eating the incense.

That is to say, when there is something to eat and offer incense, the bodyguard who opened the altar is sitting cross-legged on the ground, with his head lowered and motionless, as if he is asleep.

This scene is very familiar to Baoshan and the others. This is the escort leader Chenggong's soul leaving his body and traveling at night between heaven and earth.

When a baby is just born, he is born with a breath of innate energy. His eyes are particularly clear and he can see everything that ordinary people cannot see. Therefore, the baby always cries inexplicably. That is because the baby sees things that ordinary people cannot see. Horrible stuff. As people eat whole grains, their bodies are gradually blinded by acquired energy, their eyes become cloudy, and they can no longer see anything special.

This is the limitation brought about by the mortal body.

After the soul leaves the body, it can see special things that the naked eye cannot see.

Time passed quietly.

The longer the incense is burned, the shorter it becomes.

Seeing that the incense was about to burn to the end, the body of Biaotou, who had been sleeping with his head lowered, suddenly shook slightly, and he had returned to his senses.

"The person in charge of the connection is here."

After returning to his senses, the escort leader stood up and said.

"There is a large ship docked at the village ferry."

As soon as the escort chief finished speaking, the three people in the room had already noticed that there were torches on the ferry side of Jiangxin Village, and then there was the sound of people coming, and someone was walking towards the only place where the fire was lit in Jiangxin Village.

When these people arrived, they were first attracted by the lime powder, realgar powder, and tents in the yard.

"I've heard about the name of the secret escort master for a long time, but I've always only heard of the name but not the person. When I saw it today, it turns out that the reputation is well-deserved. When it comes to the secret escort master, you are the best at the secret escort master."

"I wonder how many of you are enjoying peace on this journey?"

"Is there anything wrong with this spy?"

The person responsible for connecting with the Yin escort master is a young man. If Jin An were here, he would definitely recognize this young man at a glance as the young man named Zong Ren who killed his uncle and took the Luo Geng jade fragment.

At this time, the four big men in the room also walked into the courtyard. The head of the escort clasped his fists at the young man with an aura of gangsterism, and said without being humble or arrogant: "The four of us brothers have been working as escorts for so many years, and we have relied on the savings earned by our employer's work. From word of mouth, we, the four brothers, have always followed our employer's instructions and escorted the coffin day and night. Moreover, we have never opened the coffin to see what kind of darts are in the coffin. So if you ask the four brothers, the owner of this coffin. To be honest, the four of us brothers can’t answer whether Yin Guang is okay.”

Zong Ren laughed: "It seems that we have found the right person. The four heroes are all people who abide by the rules. Naturally, we trust a few experts, so we don't need to open the coffin to check whether the dart is intact."

"These banknotes are the other half of the promised reward. Each banknote can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver at Baofeng banks all over Kangding."

Zong Ren took out a wad of banknotes.

That thick stack of banknotes must contain no less than ten.

The prices charged by these scheming escorts are very high and cannot be afforded by ordinary people.

The two parties were on official business and did not talk too much in private, because it was about to dawn. Zong Ren asked his entourage to carry the coffin and board the ship, and left Jiangxin Village before dawn.

The escort leader, who had been restless all the time, stopped staying after handing over the secret escort, and hurriedly left Jiangxin Village with the other three people, not caring about rest.

…

…

Fucheng.

Taoist temple of the five internal organs.

At this time, the captain had already left with his people, and he wanted to return to the military camp outside the city to wait for Yujing Jinque's senior Yuanshen to return.

After a busy night and staying up late, the three people at Wu Zang Taoist Temple felt hungry, so they cooked three bowls of egg noodles.

After breakfast, all three of them were no longer sleepy. The old Taoist priest continued to give Zhao Ping corpses to perform rituals, and he continued to accompany his senior brother while sharpening his sword. After Jin An returned to the house, he planned to consecrate a higher level of spiritual martial arts. .

I plan to take advantage of this great advancement of the soul's cultivation, when the soul's Yang thoughts are at their peak, to completely consolidate the realm of the soul.

In the past, Jin An's martial arts progressed too quickly, and he was afraid that his foundation would not be strong, so in the month after completing the "Blood Knife Sutra", "Bajiquan", "Black Mountain Kung Fu" and "Tian Mo Sacred Kung Fu", Jin An has been Consolidate the realm and solidify the foundation.

In this month, Jin An has gone through several life-and-death fights, and has mastered all his cultivation. Several martial arts cooperate with each other to kill the enemy, and he is no longer stagnant. He is ready to hit a higher realm.

First of all, let’s start with the spiritual martial arts that have just made a big breakthrough.

"The Holy Art of the Demon"!

Imperial seal!
