White Bone Monkey King

One thousand yin virtues corresponds to the early stage of the second realm.

The three thousand virtues correspond to the middle stage of the second realm.

The six thousand Yin virtues correspond to the later stage of the second realm.

The nine thousand virtues correspond to the later stage of the second realm, Great Perfection, which is infinitely close to the third realm and only half a step away from it.

As for the specific yin virtues of the third realm, Jin An has not encountered it yet, so he cannot specifically speculate. The headless clay body in the coffin temple and the leader of the Teng Kingdom in the tomb of the Dragon King in Yinyi River have been greatly weakened after their strength. , barely considered the third realm, Yin De is worth tens of thousands.

Of course, even if you encounter dirty things with strange abilities, even if they are not in the third realm, they will still have tens of thousands of evil virtues, such as the headless village and the eyeball tomb door of the Dragon King's Tomb.

No wonder the evil thing this time gave him six thousand yin virtues. It turned out to be a difficult thing corresponding to the later stage of the second realm, and it was no longer something that ordinary practitioners could handle.

It’s no wonder that even the Hekmati shaman failed to exorcise evil spirits and eventually died in the ghost’s mouth.

As the devil was nailed to death by the Kunwu knife, the evil spirit that had been permeating the underground cave began to dissipate. When Jin An took out the huozhezi and lit the kerosene lamp holders again, he saw the light again and dispelled the darkness... Puff, puff, puff. , Kulijiang and the others, who had been struggling to resist the Yin Qi entering their bodies, finally recovered and fell to the ground exhausted with cold sweat all over their bodies.

The desperate resistance against the devil exhausted their energy. Now their faces were pale, their fingers were trembling, and they were so exhausted that they didn't even have the strength to hold a knife or stand up.

"Uncle Kulijiang, don't talk yet."

"We will discuss everything in detail after recovery."

Jin An took off the wine bag from Kulijiang's waist, then took a little of the Qi and Blood Pills into the wine bag and shook it a few times. After the pills were fully dissolved, he asked Kulijiang and others to drink them one by one.

It's not that he's being stingy on purpose.

This pill is no ordinary pill.

He was afraid that Kulijiang and the others were now seriously exhausted and the medicine would be too strong and their bodies would not be able to bear it.

Kulijiang and the others recovered quickly. The remaining Yin Qi in their bodies was dissipated by the medicine. Their hands and feet felt warm, like baking around a campfire in the cold desert winter. Their whole bodies felt indescribably comfortable.

"Taoist Master Jin'an, you are the savior of our Yueqiang Kingdom!" Kulijiang checked the king's body and saw that the old king was unconscious with only a red and swollen forehead. He finally let out a sigh of relief when a big stone fell, and then several people collectively looked towards Jin. Ann knelt down to express her utmost respect and gratitude.

After expressing a few more words of sincere gratitude, Kulijiang asked with lingering fear: "Taoist Priest Jin'an, what exactly is the devil who confused the king this time and almost destroyed our Yueqiang country?"

Seeing that the people in Kulijiang had recovered, Jin An walked back to the river bank. He quickly pulled out the Kunwu knife and wiped it clean with a piece of broken stone from the ground.

"The devil is this human-faced bug on the ground." Jin An pulled out the knife from the insect corpse and said.

At his feet lay a zombie corpse of an insect, as big as a turtle, with a frighteningly pale human face on its back.

To be honest, even Jin An is still surprised. He didn't expect that the thing that escaped from the pottery jar of the Human-Faced Ghost was actually a human-faced bug.

This poisonous insect, the human-faced stink bug, only grows in the primitive rainforest in the south and the area near Tubo. It is unexpected that this poisonous insect can also be seen in the desert with a dry climate and lack of water.

"Human-faced stink bug?" Kulijiang came over curiously, and was frightened by the huge poisonous bug on the ground. Especially when he saw the lifelike pale female face pattern on the poisonous bug's back, his scalp became numb.

Even they, the desert warriors, have never seen such a scary-looking insect, especially such a big poisonous insect.

It's just that Kulijiang was still a little hard to accept for a while. The devil who almost destroyed the entire Yueqiang Kingdom and made the king of Yueqiang Kingdom hug him as his princess every day was actually just a poisonous insect?

Facing Kulijiang's puzzlement, Jin An, who had already wiped the blade, frowned and explained: "This is not an ordinary stink bug. The normal stink bug is about the size of a fingernail, and it only lives in the Nanman and Tubo areas. , this human-faced stink bug is a worm that grew up by eating corpse fluids and human organ sacrifices."

Seeing that the expression on Kulijiang's face was still a little dazed, Jin An thought for a while and made a metaphor: "It's almost the same as the corpse crickets in the tomb that grew up eating dead human flesh."

"The woman's face on the back of this bug is not the natural pattern of the bug, but the face of a living person cut off and attached to the bug's back. This one has a human face as big as a turtle. The woman’s face on the bug’s back is living human skin. That’s why the human-faced bug has such strong corpse energy, evil thoughts, and resentment on its body. These are all caused by the pain and torture that people suffer before death. The most evil idea is to have human faces attached to the worms."

The more Jin An spoke, the colder his eyes became: "People who die in vain are prone to resentment, especially the greater the torture they suffered during life, the deeper the resentment will be after death. Therefore, many people with evil intentions will deliberately use this method. Raise imps or evil corpses.”

"It can torture a person until her will collapses, her soul is shattered, and she loses all reason, leaving only evil thoughts and curses. She doesn't know what kind of cruel torture she suffered while she was alive. She can't see hope, and only evil is left in her eyes." And despair...Hey, the woman on the back of this bug is also a pitiful person."

Even a tall man like Ku Lijiang felt horrified and felt a chill on his back just listening to Jin An's description.

He looked left and right nervously, always feeling that the dark corners of the underground river were crawling with human-faced bugs as big as human heads. There were faces of women who had suffered painful torture and died, and their eyes were filled with black blood and resentment. Stare at him.

The two-meter-tall man was so frightened that his face turned slightly pale.

Subconsciously, he leaned closer to Jin An. He felt at ease only when he stood with Jin An.

Looking at the corpse of the human-faced bug at his feet, he finally sighed.

If what Taoist Jin An said was true, he also felt that this woman was too pitiful.

"How do you know so much, Taoist Master Jin'an?"

"Some of them were told to me by the old Taoist priest who introduced me to it, and some of them were experienced by me personally."

Kulijiang looked at Jin An in surprise.

Then his eyes showed reverence.

"Uncle Kulijiang, I saw there are several fragments of human-faced clay pots used to cultivate human-faced stink bugs. Have you encountered human-faced stink bugs before?" Jin An frowned slightly.

As a result, Kulijiang looked confused.

This was also the first time he knew about this.

"The sacrificial temple is related to the foundation of the Yueqiang Kingdom. This area is usually tightly guarded. Others rarely approach the sacrificial temple. Only a few priests and kings have the right to enter and inquire about matters here. However, a few The priests are all dead, and I’m afraid only the king can know the truth.”

Jin An nodded lightly. It seemed that he would have to wait until the king woke up before he could ask the answer.

Then he started to save people and help those on the ground to find the lost three souls and seven souls.

In the end, he left his body through his soul and found a group of muddle-headed souls standing densely and crowded in the underground river.

Originally, these human souls were eaten by the female face on the back of the bug, but as the bug died, the souls that had been eaten and had not had time to digest also escaped.

It's just that these souls were eroded by Yin Qi and their minds were blinded, so they were all lost and confused. After escaping from the trap, they only had the most primitive survival instinct. They subconsciously stood in the cold water with Yin Qi to avoid being disintegrated after dawn.

By calling out the souls and names of these people, Jin An brought the densely packed souls standing in the underground river to the shore again and sent them back to the body.

This is a huge project.

It wasn't until just before dawn that Jin An finally finished calling out his soul.

Although this process is not dangerous, it consumes a lot of energy. Fortunately, Jin'an found the princess and retrieved the Six Ding Liujia Talisman, and his energy and spirit recovered quickly under the nourishment of the yellow Talisman.

…

…

As dawn falls, the first golden sunbeam in the world shines into Yueqiang City and into the palace. The turbid air sinks, the clean air rises, and the miasma of human-faced bugs lingering in the palace also disappears.

The cold and resentful thoughts were driven away by the sun.

At the same time, the lively sounds from the outside world entered the palace again. The palace gradually regained its popularity and vitality, and the world was once again full of vitality.

Today, the palace was very uneasy. Uncle Kulijiang transferred guards from Yueqiang City into the palace and took out a weak man from under the sacrificial temple.

The palace, which used to be quiet and orderly in the past, is now full of busy figures walking in and out in a hurry.

But those who had experienced the horrific nightmare last night, instead of finding this environment noisy, felt a sense of excitement about being human again.

"Uncle Kulijiang, there is a saying among us Han people that it takes a hundred days for a person's bones and muscles to be injured. It also takes less than a hundred days for a person's soul to be healed. It can range from a cold and a fever for ten and a half months to a severe frailty and illness. These days Take a pill that replenishes blood and strengthens qi. You divide it into three days, dissolve it into the wine, and let the person who was unconscious last night drink it for three days to ensure that it replenishes yang and strengthens qi, and he will be full of energy again after three days."

After Jin'an handed over a few pills, he entered the palace of the king of Yueqiang Kingdom to treat his illness.

At this time, the king of Yueqiang Kingdom has not yet woken up, and there is a big swelling on his forehead. Princess Gulizal has been taking care of him in front of the bed, constantly changing towels on the king's forehead with cold compresses to reduce the swelling, and his tears are like broken pearls. My eyes kept falling from the morning till now, and my eyes were red and swollen from crying. I looked at the redness, swelling and bruises on my father’s forehead with distress.

The king's condition is somewhat complicated. He holds a ghost pottery pot all day long. The yin energy and poisonous miasma are too deep into his body. It is difficult to completely remove the poison. Moreover, his body functions are seriously damaged. In addition, he is old and his body is weakened. It is easy to suffer from all kinds of diseases, which are difficult to cure with ordinary medicines and stones.

In order to save the king, Jin'an used the Liuding Liujia Talisman four times and the Five Blessings Emperor Plague Dispelling Talisman three times to save the king's life. He then used Zangqi to pull out the remaining Yin Qi in the internal organs, regaining vitality and passing through the Great Plateau. After a long time of slowly adjusting, he finally straightened out the king's body functions and saved the king's life.

At this time, the king was still in a coma and slept, and did not wake up once. It was not until sunset that Jin'an was using the water talisman ordered by Lord Erlang to purify the water source polluted by corpse poison and resentment in the underground cave of the sacrificial temple. Kulijiang shouted back excitedly, saying that the king was awake. The first thing the king wanted to see Jin An when he woke up was that he had something important to say to Jin An.

When Jin An saw the king again, his face was much rosier. The eyes of the father and daughter who had just experienced separation were red. The king was comforting his daughter Gulizar.

When Gulizhar saw Jin An again today, the most delicate flower blooming in the desert, Xiafei suddenly lowered his head with both cheeks, not daring to look directly at Jin An, and sat quietly in front of the king's bed. Looking nervous.

"Taoist Jin'an is indeed what my daughter and Kulijiang said. He is a handsome young man and a heroic young man. Thank you Taoist Jin'an for your generous action yesterday. Otherwise, I would have made an unforgivable mistake in my life." The king wanted to get up and leave. The bed expressed his gratitude in person, but just as he was about to get out of bed, he subconsciously held his forehead where the redness had not subsided, and let out a painful hiss in his mouth.

Well.

Jin An's mouth muscles twitched slightly.

He said a few polite words and asked the king to continue to lie down and rest, and then got straight to the point and asked about the cause of all this in Yueqiang Kingdom.
