White Bone Monkey King

"rumor……"

"This black sun has been sleeping..."

"Sleeping deep in the desert basin, a place full of gold..."

"The stone bricks, houses, flowers and trees there... are all made of gold. It is the Kingdom of God that the world longs for... It is also the place where the black sun is sealed with the country's gold..."

When reading this, Ari exclaimed!

"The roads are paved with gold, gold is everywhere, and a country is full of gold. Could it be that this place used to seal the black sun is the legend of the Kingdom of the Immortal God that has been passed down in the desert for thousands of years?"

Ari couldn't wait to continue reading!

"It is said here that the Kingdom of God is very hot..."

"That's the place closest to the blue sky and the sun..."

"The sand is hotter than molten iron..."

"Ordinary people have already been ignited by the sun, their clothes, hair and skin have been ignited by the sun before they even get close to the Kingdom of God. Their whole bodies have turned into torches, burning to death..."

"The closer you get to the center of the Kingdom of God, the closer you are to the sun, and the sun burns hotter. After you escape the flames and death, there is a magical giant door deep in the Kingdom of Gold..."

"open the door……"

"You can see the black sun buried deep in the desert..."

"These guardians are guarding that door, forbidding evil-minded people from pushing open that giant door and releasing that black sun... One sky cannot accommodate two suns, and the desert will turn into a sea of ​​fire, without any grass, cattle or sheep. All the livestock are dead, and the black sun symbolizes corpses and death..."

In fact, there is no need for Yali to interpret this, Jin An has already understood the meaning of the coffin.

There are two suns hanging in the sky.

The sun shines in the desert, and those rays are so hot that everything in their path melts. Cattle, sheep, and humans are roasted into charred corpses as soon as they come into contact, because there are countless people, cattle, sheep, and livestock lying on the ground. corpse.

Bodies piled up.

Scarier than hell.

Purgatory on earth.

This is a natural disaster.

It's also a man-made disaster.

It was a huge disaster that affected all life in the desert.

The Kingdom of God described on this coffin, Jin An is most likely to be the Kingdom of the Immortal God that is the destination of his trip!

And that black sun is sealed in the deepest part of the Kingdom of the Immortal God!

These guardians are the gatekeepers, preventing lunatics with the idea of ​​​​destroying the world from breaking into the world behind the door and releasing the black sun that represents the star of death.

That's why he said it was both a natural disaster and a man-made disaster.

But what puzzles him even more is that with a country's golden seal, how evil is this Black Sun to be able to receive such a grand seal?

The owner of the tomb here is, in his own way, warning future generations that the Kingdom of the Immortal God is very dangerous. Don’t try to pursue the secrets of the Kingdom of the Immortal God, let alone try to open that door.

"Taoist Master Jin An, you said that the deeper we go into the desert, the hotter it gets and the weather is abnormal. Could it be that... someone has found the Kingdom of God and opened the giant door?" Yari looked at Jin An and hesitated. said.

Under the swaying light of the torch, his face looked a little ugly.

He was indeed a little frightened.

If what is said on the coffin is true, the entire desert will be devastated, and their relatives and parents will be burned to death by the sun. Moreover, they will definitely die if they go into the depths of the desert.

Jin An has already thought of what Yari said, but he is determined to find the Kingdom of the Immortal God no matter what.

The contents on the coffin gave the team a great shock. However, the contents on the coffin had not been fully decoded. Only the contents on the front, back, left, and right sides had been decoded. After digesting the information, Jin An and Yali carried torches and moved a few pieces. Bricks and stones were used to step on the feet to see what was left on the coffin lid.

This coffin is a bit high.

The lid of the coffin is at eye level.

So you have to find something to cushion it on so that you can fully see the front of the coffin lid.

"Um?"

Jin An exclaimed in surprise.

There is a huge and complete relief on the coffin lid.

This is the most important content of the entire coffin.

It seems to be revealing the origin and origin of the Black Sun.

This time, Jin An was able to understand the content on the huge relief without the help of Yali. Although the content was not much, it gave all of them a great mental impact.

One day in the distant past, a dead and extinguished sun fell from the sky. It was a dark sun stone.

Although the sun has died and the flames have been extinguished, the surface of the death sun is still extremely scorching. The forests are dead, the earth is exhausted, and it no longer breeds life. Lakes, rivers, and mulberry fields, billions of animals and plants die, and the desert continues to expand every day and every year. , the vicissitudes of Linggu.

until one day.

A little girl appeared.

She is the only one who can get close to the Sun of Death.

The changes in the world begin here!

People found the little girl, believed in her as a god, asked her to pick up the black stone that fell from the sky, and sealed the black stone in the little girl's body.

It was an unprecedented ceremony.

Many people surrounded the little girl and believed in her as a god. They left the customs, crossed the snow-capped mountains, entered the Western Regions, built huge ships and sailed up the ancient desert rivers. Then, they personally sealed the gods they believed in in a giant door deep in the desert basin. Behind the door, let her be buried with the dead sun and never see the light of day.

And create a golden divine kingdom full of gold, completely sealing the giant door of death, the little girl, and the black sun, allowing her to endure five hundred, one thousand, and thousands of years of loneliness and darkness, and letting her never see her again. Heaven, earth, and sun will never be seen outside, and the end of time will never be seen.

Reminiscent of the contents of the sarcophagus reliefs he had seen before, Jin An speculated that the reason why the little girl and the black stone were sealed in the Kingdom of the Immortal God forever was because the sky could not accommodate two suns, so one of them had to be sealed. Black sun.

This is somewhat similar to the ancient myth that Yi shot for nine days. There were ten suns in the sky. After Yi shot for nine days, only one sun was left, which saved billions of creatures on the earth.

However, judging from the low education, ignorance and backwardness of the ancients in the past, the so-called black sun may really be the sun falling to the earth after death, or maybe it is not the sun, but a meteorite falling from the sky.

There are various signs that the black stone may be an extraterrestrial meteorite. Jin An guessed that the reason why the black stone is so strange is that the meteorite carries radiation or cosmic rays, causing all nearby things to dry up and die, and is continuously illuminated by the sun. It produces a continuous reaction and never exhausts, so the scope of influence is constantly expanding. Even if it is later sealed behind the giant door of the Kingdom of the Undead, it still cannot block the leakage of thermal radiation or rays.

Jin An continued to look down.

The black stone brought destruction and disaster until later, a special little girl appeared.

In order to thank the little girl for her great sacrifice for all living things, later generations respectfully called her the "Ghost Mother" to thank her for her contribution to the common people.

According to the relief on the coffin lid, the reason why the ghost mother was able to get close to the black stone was because there was a hole in the ghost mother's body that could hold a sun.

Jin An: "?"

Ari: "?"

Abbas: "?"

Alayi: "?"

Adan: "?"

The following quickly revealed what the Nine Nether Hole is on the Ghost Mother. There is a penetrating wound in the Ghost Mother's heart. The heart without a heart is bleeding continuously. The black hole is like the Nine Nether Hole that can swallow all the light, so it can Hold a sun.

Black Sun replaces the broken heart.

Become one with the ghost mother's heart.

Putting a sun in the piercing and hurtful mouth of the human heart that swallows all the light just proves that sentence, the only sun in the world cannot look directly at the human heart.

The reliefs on the coffin are lifelike, and the last painting shows the ghost mother in the form of a little girl, sitting on a sun-god chair in front of a giant door to heaven and earth, accepting worship and belief from all people.

After reading all the relief content, Yali said sentimentally: "This ghost mother is really pitiful. At such a young age, she was locked behind a huge door by adults and lived so lonely all her life. Fortunately, it has been so long. She has already Just die, you don’t have to bear the loneliness of being alone anymore.”

"The life experience of this ghost mother is indeed very pitiful." Jin An also sympathized with her, and then he said the right thing.

"but……"

"Yari, you are wrong about something. She is not a living person, she has been dead for a long time. Otherwise, a golden kingdom would not have been used to seal her cold Yin Qi that can withstand a sun."

ah?

Ari, who was sentimental just now, was directly frightened to the point of stress by Jin An. His back felt as if there were gusts of cold wind blowing against his scalp. They were now in a gloomy tomb, and his scalp was so frightened that his scalp instantly went numb. Get up, quickly turn around and look behind you.

Fortunately, there was no ghost mother standing behind him.

Then he looked at Jin An with a slightly pale face and a mournful face, and said with a little trembling: "Taoist Master Jin An... We are still in someone else's tomb. Why do I feel that this place is getting more and more gloomy? Well, it seems like everything is everywhere. It’s like a ghost mother is standing and staring at me...You, please don’t scare us..."

Not to mention Ari, the others nodded a little panicked, saying that they felt the same way.

Jin An knows best if there is anything unclean in this tomb. Of course he knows that this tomb is very clean. The owner of the tomb has been dead for a long time. There is no such thing as cheating the corpse or not.

Yali and the others' mental quality is still a bit poor, and they are easily affected by the surrounding environment.

Looking at the dark mausoleum, and then at the frightened and nervous Yari and others, Jin An became more playful. He stood in front of the coffin and said seriously: "This is not a random guess on my part. There is a wound in my heart, and there is nothing in my heart." Heart, this is definitely not a living person, but a dead person."

"The coffin says that the reason why the little girl was the only one close to the Black Sun is that when a person dies, the natural yin energy of the dead body qi is cold, so it makes sense to say that her body is the Cave of Nine Netherworlds. One sun, holding a balance. No wonder it takes a country's gold to seal her. A dead person who can appear in the daytime and look directly at the sun. This ghost mother is not as cute as she appears. She is harmless to humans and animals. If she is still alive now, at least she must Are you several thousand years old? She’s old enough to be our wife, Mrs., Mrs., Grandma.”

Ari and the others were so frightened that they became even more panicked.

Seeing that there was nothing else found in the tomb, they began to urge Jin An to return to the ground with them. The tomb was too cold, and they wanted to regain the temperature of the desert sun.

Better to die from the sun than from being scared to death.

People are so strange. A few hours ago, they were unbearably hot in the desert and longed to find a shady place to cool off. Now they missed the hot sun on the ground.

Jin An laughed and joked: "Are you scared now? I just said there might be danger here and wouldn't let you follow me. It's Yari who must follow me."

He has experienced a lot in the past six months and has become accustomed to all kinds of unclean things.

His nerves were so tough that he even feared himself.

The mausoleum and coffins in front of him did not scare him at all.

"We desert men are not afraid of ferocious sand thieves, nor are we afraid of poisonous scorpions and snakes. We are only afraid of dealing with those strange devils... Whether it is a murderer or a scorpion, at least it is still a living thing. There is nothing that cannot be solved with one knife, but dead people Not afraid of the Desert Man's knife..." Ari said in frustration.

Others quickly nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Yali and the others were indeed frightened, Jin An stopped joking. The five of them did not touch anything in the tomb. They returned to the ground the same way they came.

As soon as the five people came up, they were immediately surrounded by everyone with nervous faces, curiously asking what was under the well and why they had been there for so long.

Especially seeing the ugly faces of Ari and others, everyone's curiosity became even more intense.

Yali and the four of them did not answer the question immediately. Instead, they ran outside the shed and stood in the sun for a while, until they felt dizzy and all the coldness in their bodies was driven away. Then he returned to the shed.

During this time, Jin An had already answered everyone's questions for them.

He didn't hide it.

Tell them all their findings and some conjectures. Anyway, they will know these things sooner or later. Even if he doesn't answer, the Yali people will answer.

After hearing what Jin An and the others found underneath the well, sure enough, several people present, including a few sheep, subconsciously ran outside the shed to bask in the sun and inhale enough yang energy before returning to the shed.

Even when I returned to the shed, I was still standing in the outer area where dappled sunlight could reach my body.

"Taoist Master Jin'an, do we still have to go deeper into the desert?"

After hearing that there were many dangers waiting for them in the desert, someone finally asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

Jin An nodded without thinking and said, "I have a reason to go."

Others looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, they all nodded in unison and said they were willing to escort Taoist Jin An all the way. Desert men can accept failure, but they cannot accept deserters who give up halfway. That is a cowardly behavior and will lead to the desert gods. Abandoned.

It took Jin An and the others a while to get down to the bottom of the well. Not long after, the sky became dark and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the end of the sky red.

As we go deeper into the desert, the night gets later and later.

Jin An calculated it.

Since coming out of Zimo Kingdom, the dark time has been postponed to around Hai hour, which is around nine o'clock in the evening.

Stayed in the desert for a long time.

After getting used to the long days and short nights here.

Jin'an's life routine also changed accordingly.

As long as it’s not dark, I’m still in high spirits.

Next, everyone sat outside the well water shed, lighting a fire to heat naan bread, dried meat and goat's milk wine. After a full meal, the sky darkened completely.

The desert sky is clear tonight.

Cloudless.

The stars are shining brightly.

You can see a vast galaxy stretching across the night sky above you that cannot be seen in the Central Plains.

But after dark, the village of Teshsata is still empty and cold, and the villagers in the village have not returned.

The anxiety and worry on the faces of old Sadiq and young Sahaf became more and more serious. They couldn't help but ran to the entrance of the village several times to look at the Populus euphratica forest, waiting for the safe return of their families.

But the more anxious I became, the quieter and deader it became outside the Populus euphratica forest.

Except for the shadows of trees twisting in the dark shadows like ghosts waving, not even a single figure could be seen.

The heads of old Sadiq and young Sahav dropped lower and lower. They squatted at the entrance of the village, looking at the Populus euphratica forest, and could not help but shed tears again.

Although Yali and the others didn't understand why Eryang's mood swings were so big, everyone felt the sadness and loneliness in Eryang, and the atmosphere of the team was affected. What should have been the joy of finding the village and getting clean water, from everyone The face disappeared and the atmosphere became dull.

Jin An patted the dust on his butt and walked to the entrance of the village. He did not speak but sat down next to Er Yang. He looked up at the vast Milky Way in the sky and waited with Er Yang.

At this moment, although the galaxy is prosperous, the backs of one person and two sheep are only lonely.

The warmth and coldness in it can only be experienced by those who are in it.

Soon after, Goat and Ilham also came over and stood guard at the entrance of the village, looking up at the stars together.

The night sky in the desert is very clean and pure.

This vast sea of ​​sand has not yet been invaded by too many worldly interests.

Several dazzling meteors dragged their long tails of light across perfect arcs.

Suddenly.

Jin An and the goat stood up almost at the same time and looked in the direction of the Populus euphratica forest, attracting the attention of the other three goats. Not long after, footsteps and a few tired coughs came from the Populus euphratica forest.

A group of men, women and children, covered in sand and soil, with skinny bodies like refugees, supported each other and walked out of the Populus euphratica forest. Some women were even seen holding swaddled babies in their arms.

Each of them had a look of deep exhaustion on their faces, and their bodies were slightly stooped, as if they were walking with a heavy burden on their backs and had just returned from an exhausted day's work.

Whether they are old people or children who are no more than waist high, everyone’s face shows the exhaustion of a hard day’s work.

They passed through the Populus euphratica forest and saw Jin'an and four sheep at the entrance of the village. Teshsata Village had rarely encountered outsiders for more than ten years, but this only made their eyes regain a little sparkle, and then immediately extinguished.

Among the villagers, there was a middle-aged man who was stronger than the other villagers. He looked tired and said a few words to Jin'an.

But Jin An couldn't understand.

He originally wanted Old Sadiq to translate, but at this time, when Old Sadiq and Little Sahaf looked at the familiar faces in the crowd, tears had already fallen down. They excitedly repeated the words "Apa Ata" and looked at the villagers. Several people knelt down in tears.

It's just that these crying words fell in the ears of the villagers, only the bleating of sheep, and they could not understand the words of old Sadiq and young Sahaf.

But looking at Er Yang who was kneeling and crying sadly, the villagers' eyes became brighter. They curiously looked at Er Yang who was kneeling towards them. Some timid children who hid behind adults couldn't help but look at Er Yang curiously. Eyes of two sheep.

At this time, Ilham translated for Jin An and said: "They said there is no food or drinking water in the village, so they can't provide much help. If you only want to stay for a few days, you can find an empty shed to live in. "

"Yari! Yari! Come here! By the way, bring more water. There are old people and children here who are in urgent need of water!" Jin An called to Yari.

"Yari, please translate for me and say that we are not camel travelers or traders who have lost their way in the desert. We are friends of old Sadiq and young Sahaf. We have something to say to Teshsata Village... "

Ari began to translate to the villagers.
