White Bone Monkey King

Well.

Jin An huffed.

After accommodating it, he prevaricates vaguely.

If the old Taoist priest had never opened his mouth before, Jin An would not believe anything he said. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw someone jumping out of a house in the dark night and rushing towards the river bank.

The man probably came prepared and knew that people could board the ship.

And just when this person was about to board the ship, someone else moved in the darkness. They were afraid that if they were one step behind, their immortal fate would be taken away, so the two people boarded the ship almost at the same time.

"Little brother, look at those two people in the Calamity Palace. They both have a dark atmosphere. This is definitely because they are going to encounter something unexpected recently. Look at them both with high nose bones and fierce eyes. They are not kind people or wanted. The criminal is also a gangster who often kills people and seizes treasures. I’m not scolding you, little brother. Don’t get me wrong. You don’t call killing people and seizing treasures, but you call good deeds rewarded... In short, these two people have fierce faces, and the Palace of Disaster is hacked. It seems that the boat in the river doesn't welcome these two people very much."

The old Taoist priest just finished speaking.

The two people on the boat suddenly exclaimed. The boat under their feet seemed to have turned into a weak earthen boat made of mud. It fell into the water twice, and the two people drowned in the river on the spot, with no bones left.

If the water in this river is the rainwater from the sky that gathers to form a river, no one can escape the disaster of falling into the water.

"?"

"!"

Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest speechlessly.

He was convinced.

The old Taoist priest has definitely opened his mouth.

"Old Taoist, tell me honestly, how many times have you opened your mouth? I don't think the magical instruments that have been opened once or twice in Taoist temples and temples are as powerful as your mouth. Others are talking about gold, but you are just saying gold. Whoever wants to die will die."

"Since your words, Old Tao, are so effective, why don't you, Old Tao, point out a clear way to make a fortune for me? Where is my advantage in the southeast, northwest, and northwest?"

The old Taoist priest was confused by Jin An's words: "Little brother, don't you have a great and beautiful way to make a fortune? Why do you have to sacrifice the near for the distant?"

Jin An's brow muscles twitched: "Go, go, go."

The old Taoist priest was interested and continued to ask Jin An: "Little brother, what exactly did you write in the letter you wrote to the beautiful lady that day? Why was the beautiful lady not only not angry after reading it, but also coaxed by you to marry a Ye Niang outside? Are you so happy that I give you the Kunwu knife?"

The old Taoist priest has been holding this matter in his mind for several days.

I've been feeling itchy.

He wanted to know what Jin An wrote that day. Was it an acrostic love poem? I can make the big beauty so happy.

Jin Anjian glared at the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, why do you talk so much? Since you have so many reasons, why not first think about how we should board the ship."

"Yesterday, you were the only one who saw with your own eyes how the ancient corpse in gold-lined jade clothing boarded the ship. Think carefully about the details. It will be dawn soon. As soon as the sun rises, the seniors on the ship will leave."

Facing Jin An's urging, the old Taoist priest twirled his beard and smiled calmly this time, and said slowly and confidently: "Hey, Taoist, I really have an idea."

"Little brother, there is a saying in the Taoist family, which is 'the best kindness is like water, and kindness carries everything'."

"The two people who boarded the ship just now are not kind people. They do a lot of bad things in daily life. They were also bad people even after they died. Naturally, they can't board the ship."

"We deserve to be honest and act openly and aboveboard. As long as we don't have guilty consciences, even if we can't board the ship, the Toad Immortal is a righteous immortal who protects justice in the world. He is not an evil immortal. He will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. At most, we will be kicked off the ship. ."

The old Taoist priest's words made sense, and Jin An nodded in approval.

Then here comes the problem.

How to verify whether the old Taoist priest's guess is true?

The old Taoist priest rubbed his hands and smiled, saying that it was not easy. Little brother, you are upright and can kill demons. You must have so many merits that you can bring an extra ship with you. What's more important is that little brother, you also formed a good relationship with the Toad Fairy during the day. The Toad Fairy also promised to repay you a hundred or a thousand peaches, and the Toad Fairy will not harm you even if you don't return the peaches. Little brother, your life.

"This is called unintentional planting of willows and willows."

"Doing good without intention is truly good."

"Little brother, you have formed a good relationship with Little Toad Fairy, which means there is cause and effect. As a senior master, Great Toad Fairy must repay this cause and effect."

After hearing the old Taoist priest's bad idea, Jin An felt so toothache that he wanted to punch the old Taoist priest, but he was also worried that the old Taoist priest's old arms and legs couldn't withstand his punch. Don't lose arms and legs by then. At this moment, Jin An was suddenly startled.

Avenue induction!

Yin Deyi!

"Sharp sword?" Jin An was stunned for a moment.

When the old Taoist priest saw Jin An suddenly mentioning sharpening his sword, he asked his little brother what was wrong.

Jin An frowned, then said it was nothing.

Who knew!

Avenue induction! Yin Deyi!

Yin Deyi!

Yin Deyi!

Yin Deyi!

When he sensed a large number of Dao Senses approaching, Jin An could no longer calm down this time. Did he encounter any trouble or danger while sharpening his sword?

Jin An, who was eager to save his disciple, no longer hesitated this time. He walked out of his hiding place and strode directly to the boat suspended on the river.

"Little brother, wait for me." Seeing that Jin An's expression suddenly changed, the old Taoist priest also hurriedly caught up with him.

Boom, Jin An jumped onto the boat.

Alas, the old Taoist priest also got on the boat.

Something magical happened. This time the boat successfully carried the two of them, and no one fell into the water.

The old Taoist priest really told me that this boat is as good as water and carries great virtues. Moreover, he Jin'an also saw two Luogeng jade plate fragments and three divine treasures that fell on the ship, namely a bronze mirror carved with a peacock, a tear stone, and a ring.

Jin An, who was just carrying a peach tree on board the ship, filled the ship to the brim. The old Taoist priest's body was submerged by the peach tree crown, and a small head popped out from the green crown and pink peaches, looking at Jin An pitifully.

"Senior, I have a disciple named Jiejian. He is separated from me in the Cave Heaven Paradise. I wonder if senior can give me a ride?"

Jin An saluted the old man on the boat and described in detail the facial features of sharpening a sword.

If the Great Immortal Toad really had a cause and effect with him, then he would not ask for other wealth and honor, he just wanted to use this cause and effect to find the whereabouts of the sharp sword as soon as possible and find everyone in the Five Zang Taoist Temple.

It was only then that Jin An discovered that the toad immortal's body below the sternum was gone, and only half of his body was left floating under the torn, blood-stained Taoist robes.

At this time, the old Taoist priest with a head popping up in the canopy of lush branches turned his head with difficulty and saluted the old man at the helm.

The old man with disheveled hair sitting in the stern of the boat did not speak, and he did not know whether the dead body was conscious and could understand Jin An's words. At this time, turbid waves rolled under the river, so he lifted the boat and started to swim upstream.

Just as the boat was about to leave the shore, another cry from a young woman came from the shore. She waved towards the boat and ran towards it, calling the boatman, wait, wait, there is another person here.

But the old man on the boat, whose Taoist crown was broken and his Taoist robe was torn and stained with blood in the cold wind, ignored the voice of the woman on the river bank. The speed of the boat became faster and faster, going upstream in the rolling river, carrying a group of people on the boat. The old man and the young man pierced the darkness and disappeared into the vast night.

The woman on the shore was left dancing alone.

…

The boat was sailing upstream in the river. It didn't seem to be going very fast, but the ruins of the war that looked like mountains around it, and the majestic collapsed palaces were retreating past it as fast as a fleeting glimpse of light.

"Little brother, the girl on the shore just now is not simple." The old Taoist priest suddenly said.

He continued: "Old Taoist, I saw a meritorious instrument in that girl."

"Good virtue can carry things, and that girl should be able to board the ship like us. It seems that she will have to wait for tomorrow's ship."

Although the old man has died in the battle.

What is at the helm now is the remains of obsession.

But instead of having a gloomy and gloomy feeling, the boat is divinely bright, as if it does not carry one dead person or two living people, but a golden sun.

The sun breaks through the night and drives away the darkness.

This is virtue.

The heavy rain above the head is still falling. The further the boat goes upstream and deeper into the ruins, the rain above the head is getting heavier and heavier.

But the generous sun on the boat opened up the sky and blocked out the heavy rain.

Like a golden sun moving forward in the river.

"Little brother, you said that the rain here has not dried up for thousands of years, and has not been submerged for thousands of years. Is it possible that the rain in this blessed cave will eventually flow down into the Yinyi River in the outside world, and eventually all rivers will return? Sea? The Yinyi River floods every year. Is it possible that the rainwater comes from this blessed land?" the old Taoist priest asked curiously.

He adjusted the branches around his neck and found a comfortable position for himself. He used a peach tree branch as a pillow on the back of his head, enjoying himself in pain.

Along the way, the boat passed through strange areas, and there were constant strange noises all around, but in the end they were all melted away by the boat like white snow in spring.

Especially when they saw a temple with strange flowers and fruits that had not yet been discovered. Before the two of them could react, the ship was already far away in an instant, leaving the temple behind it far away. In the blink of an eye, it was already there. There is no temple in sight at all.

Those are strange flowers and fruits.

Maybe it was some ignorant fairy fruit like Zhuguo or Shoudao. Both of them saw the pain in each other's eyes.

But once you get on the boat, you can't get off.

Jin An could only believe that the Great Toad Fairy could lead him to find the sharp sword.

Even on the way down, he saw the dead man dragging the golden dragon coffin.

It had only been two days, but he didn't expect that he had already traveled so far while dragging the golden dragon coffin, and everything he passed was turned into gold.

The old Taoist priest didn't think anything happened when he heard Jin An's description during the day, but now he saw with his own eyes the miracle of turning stones into gold and the Kingdom of Gold. He was so shocked that he was speechless.

When he saw that the gold everywhere was turned into ordinary stones by the rain, he showed regret again.

After passing a corner, the people on both sides separated to the left and right, and soon the golden light of the Golden Kingdom was no longer visible.

The boat continued to swim upstream. Suddenly, bang, the boat made a shaking sound as it docked. The old Taoist priest, whose sight had been blocked by peach branches, said happily: "Have we found a sharp sword?"

Jin An shook his head: "We haven't found the sharp sword yet, but it's almost dawn. Next we have to go ashore and walk on our own."

"Although we haven't found the sword yet, fortunately, our seniors have pointed out the way forward for us. As long as we continue to pursue the path forward, we will definitely find the lost sword."

The old Taoist priest looked up at the dark clouds above his head. Sure enough, the originally dark clouds began to turn slightly white.

When their feet felt solid again, Jin An and the old Taoist priest were about to turn around to thank the boat and the old man behind them, but found that there was no one behind them.

The place where the Toad Fairy asked them to go ashore happened to be a temple with an ever-burning lantern. The two planned to go into the temple and wait for daybreak to continue on their way to find the sharp sword.

But before the two of them took two steps, the old Taoist priest suddenly exclaimed.

I went to see an old Taoist priest wearing a pair of cloth shoes. After leaving the boat and landing on the shore, they turned into mud shoes.

As soon as the old Taoist priest took a few steps, the two muddy shoes dried up and turned into mud powder, and the old Taoist priest became a barefooted Taoist.

Jin An was happy: "Where are your original shoes, Master?"

The old Taoist priest who was walking barefoot on the gravel road said with a grimace that when he was picking peaches outside the forest, he was chased by a group of monkeys and threw stones. At that time, he just ran away and lost even one shoe. He dared to go back and pick them up. Later, the shoes on his feet were borrowed from the villagers of Hezhuang.

Now he left Hezhuang and got off the boat. The shoes on his feet turned into mud shoes.

Jin An was amused by the miserable state of the old Taoist priest.

He was still very loving and respectful to the old and loved the young. He took off his Taoist shoes and let the old Taoist priest put them on first.

The old Taoist priest didn't take the Taoist shoes and said, "Little brother, if you gave the shoes to me, the Taoist priest, wouldn't you have no shoes to wear?"

Jin An: "Old Taoist, please put on your shoes first. Fortunately, I didn't throw away the old shoes I replaced. Thanks to your sack, it can hold anything."

Jin An chuckled and took out a pair of cloth shoes with a lot of mud on the soles from the sack and put them on. He patted the soles of the two shoes to collect a lot of dust, then threw them on the ground and put them on.

When he was taking the cloth shoes from the sack, Jin An also saw the longevity peach. Well, he had never forgotten the longevity peach: "Old Taoist, when we find the sword, you can split this longevity peach in half and eat it together."

The temple where the Toad Immortal put down Jin'an and the old Taoist priest is quite large.

There is a stone bird standing on the roof of the temple, which emits divine light in the dark night and protects a pure land.

It was a divine bird, the Qingluan, as graceful and slender as a woman. One of its wings was broken off, and the surface of the stone had faded. It was a dilapidated sacred bird. On this ruins of silence, there was a unique feeling of "the luan saw its form and screamed in sorrow, ringing in the sky." A sense of poignancy.

"According to legend, the sacred bird Qingluan is the sacred bird raised by the Queen Mother of the West. It seems that the statue enshrined in this temple should be the statue of the goddess."

"It is also said in legends that there is only one Qingluan in the world, and it is a sad and beautiful story that it spends its life alone looking for love."

The old Taoist priest raised his head and glanced at the broken-winged sacred bird on the roof of the temple, his eyes filled with sadness... His thoughts began to drift away.

Jin An was walking ahead carrying the tree. He didn't expect there was anyone else in the temple. When he walked into the temple carrying a large peach tree, he met several pairs of eyes and blinked. The air was very quiet for a while. .

Several people in the temple were a little confused when they saw someone walking into the temple covered in jewelry, especially when they saw that the man was carrying a large peach tree on his shoulders.
