White Bone Monkey King

This Laughing Corpse Village is very big.

But there are not many places to live.

After all, thirteen people can’t live in a big place.

The places used to live in are now mostly empty and covered with dust. Even if the rooms were cleaned up overnight, only two rooms could be cleaned up due to the lack of supplies.

Front hall.

After the tall and thin old man and the fat old man explained the situation, they continued: "The two rooms we packed out are large bungalows. Although there are not many rooms, fortunately we can sleep everyone if they are squeezed together."

"A few guests don't mind a squeeze, right?"

"If any of the guests have familiar friends, they can mention it now and we can arrange to sleep in a Datong bunk."

Hearing this, Jin An and Master Yiyun glanced at each other subconsciously.

The two of them definitely glanced at the acquaintances around them subconsciously.

Didn’t think much about anything.

As a result, before they could speak, the tall and thin old man and the fat old man had already nodded on their own initiative: "I understand, Mr. Yiyun wants to sleep in a room with Taoist Priest Jin'an."

Mr. Yiyun: "?"

Jin An: "?"

However, both of them were straightforward and had no entanglement. They both nodded and agreed to the matter.

It's better to squeeze in with an acquaintance than to squeeze into a Chase store with a stranger.

It's just that you can't sleep on the same bed and cover the same quilt if you squeeze into the Datong bunk.

So it's not too much of a problem.

But some people don’t think so!

Qi Bo, who had been lying down and pretending to be drunk, woke up drunk at the right time: "Young master, do you want to rest? I will send you back to your room to rest."

"Don't worry, young master. I just had a nap and am already mostly awake. I will keep vigil for the young master tonight to protect his safety."

The tall and thin old man and the fat old man did not understand the true meaning of Qibo's words. They thought that Qibo was afraid that the Laughing Corpse Village would be uneasy and misunderstand the Laughing Corpse Village, so they hurriedly explained: "Sir, you don't have to worry. Although our Laughing Corpse Village has a scary name and there are many corpses parked here, the corpses here are our ancestors. There has been peace for so many years, and our ancestors have always protected the safety of Laughing Corpse Village."

Next, everyone walked out of the front hall and started to walk towards the room. Before leaving, everyone took the initiative to help clean up the debris on the table, and then walked out of the front hall.

"Hiccup." People from the Western Regions such as Ayimaimaiti and Aheqi held up their bloated bellies in pain and burped before walking out of the house. They did not forget to grab the dying human-faced bird covered in blood.

However, there was an incident when they left the front hall. When Jin An went to fetch a sheep and three camels, both Master Yiyun and Qi Bo were startled.

"Taoist Jin'an is indeed an extraordinary person. Others go into the desert with camels carrying their burdens, but Taoist Jin'an goes against the grain and leads sheep into the desert."

Young Master Yiyun speaks in a gentle and elegant manner. He does not have the delicacy of a sour scholar, but instead has a heroic spirit with eyes as clear as a spring.

Before Jin An could answer, the tall and thin old man, the fat old man, Mr. Yan and his party, as well as the people from the Western Regions who came later, all looked shocked: "This cow that looks like a sheep, is it a sheep?"

Everyone subconsciously took a look at the human-faced bird caught in Aheqi's hand, driven mad by the tongue twister and almost dying. This is indeed the style of Taoist Jin'an!

Only people with abnormal brains would lead such a sheep that looks like a cow into the depths of the desert!

Ever since I met Taoist Priest Jin'an, he has never done anything humanly possible!

Seeing everyone looking at Jin An in shock, Mr. Yiyun laughed so hard that his stomach ached.

Jin An was speechless and glanced at Mr. Yiyun who was smiling like a 200-pound fool again. He was actually quite thick-skinned. He could still keep his face straight when faced with the shock of dozens of people watching: "Young Master Yiyun didn't say anything. Wrong, it is indeed a sheep.”

Scenarios like this.

He no longer knows how many times he has experienced this.

Therefore, I have long been honed to the point where my face does not change even if the mountains collapse in front of me.

"Hey, Taoist Master Jin'an, why did your voice change..." Aheqi's group of Westerners looked at Jin'an again with shocked faces, then at Jin An, then at the dying human-faced bird in their hands, and then at Look at Jin An.

It turns out that you, Taoist Jin An, are the lunatic who taught the mourning bird tongue twisters!

Well.

"Ahem, my voice was hoarse just now, but now it is my original voice. My voice has been mature and mature since I was a child. It seems very mature and steady. How could I, Jin An, be that kind of exaggerated person." Jin An pretended to have a deep and steady voice again. .

Ayimaimaiti, Aheqi and the others looked speechlessly at the shameless Jin'an who told lies. This Han Taoist priest's face was thicker than the city wall of Yangguan in Kangding.

Ever since she met Jin An, it was always Jin An who choked her, and she was always the one who suffered the loss. Every time, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth. It was rare that a big revenge was avenged today. Seeing how embarrassed Jin An was, how could Mr. Yiyun let go? After such a rare opportunity, she said with a teasing smile: "Jin An! Taoist Priest! We are still very curious, what kind of tongue twister did you teach the human-faced bird of Guchi to drive this kind of copycat crazy?"

Jin An: "..."

Looking at Young Master Yiyun with a cunning look in his eyes, who kept throwing insults at him, and smiling proudly, Jin An seemed to be looking at a three-hundred-pound fool:

"Really want to know?"

Everyone present nodded.

They all wanted to see what this magical tongue twister was.

The two old men, including Pasha and Xikelti, also looked at Jin An expectantly.

Jin An was pressed for help, so he asked for paper and pen: "This tongue twister is a bit difficult to remember and there are many false characters. I'm afraid that everyone will not be able to remember it when I read it. I would like two old gentlemen to bring me paper and pen to write it out." "

Everyone did not doubt that he was there, and immediately found camel skins and charcoal: "Taoist Master Jin'an will leave, this desert is barren, there are no precious pens and papers, only camel skins and charcoal."

Soon Jin An finished writing silently, and then handed the camel skin to Mr. Yiyun beside him.

""Wo Chun"?"

"You can smell the dark plum blossoms in the dark, lying on the branches with sadness at the bottom. You can smell them in the distance like water, and you can easily see the spring green."

"The shore is green, the shore is green, the shore is green."

Mr. Yiyun, who had finished reading, glanced at Jin An suspiciously: "How come I remember that the tongue twister that drove the human-faced bird crazy contained the words "black, gray and fat", but why is there no word "black" or "grey fat" in this tongue twister? "

"Is this really a tongue twister?"

Young Master Yiyun always felt that something was wrong. After reading it again, she finally realized with a frosty face: "Haha!"

Young Master Yiyun sneered, threw away the camel skin scroll in his hand, and sneered at Jin An. He didn't say anything, just looked at Jin An with a sneer.

"What's the meaning?"

"Is there anything wrong with that tongue twister? Why did even Mr. Yiyun, a Confucian scholar, change his temperament and become abnormal after reading it?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Sure enough, it is a tongue twister that can drive a human-faced bird crazy. Look, even a living person is driven crazy." Aheqi, who was holding the human-faced bird in his hand, said with deep approval.

At this time, Mr. Yan picked up the camel skin that was thrown on the ground, chewed it several times, and then his expression changed, and he threw it to the ground as if it were discarded, with an expression on his face as ugly as if he had eaten a blowfly.

Soon after, everyone finally understood what Taoist Master Jin An meant by the tongue twister. After suffering this small secret loss, everyone no longer mentioned the tongue twister.

…

…

The Laughing Corpse Village is very large.

But most places are pitch black.

On the way to my residence, I passed many dark buildings along the road.

These buildings looked dilapidated in the dark night, with an ancient look of disrepair. Many of the earthen walls had cracked and cracked, revealing the dark space behind them, making it difficult to see what was inside.

Along the way, we passed many dilapidated and old buildings like this, which seemed eerie and chilly in the dark night when only the howling wind was so quiet.

As if he could see everyone's doubts, the tall and thin old man took the initiative to explain: "These are all morgues."

Jin An pretended not to notice Mr. Yiyun, who was sneering at him all the way, and asked the tall and thin old man in surprise: "I see there are quite a few morgues here. How many dead people are stored in the Laughing Corpse Manor?"

The tall and lanky old man replied without thinking: "There are a total of 2,612 corpses in the Laughing Corpse Village. They include the soldiers who died following the king and those who died later. They are all added up one after another. Two thousand six hundred and twelve corpses.”

Although I am mentally prepared.

But when they heard the specific figures, everyone couldn't help but feel numb, so many dead people!

Fortunately, this is a desert with a dry climate. The corpses will quickly dehydrate and turn into mummies here. If so many corpses were stored elsewhere, a plague would have broken out long ago, and no one would be around for thousands of miles.

"Fourth uncle, I didn't expect so many people died here!"

"Nephew, we have entered the devil's lair this time. You should be smarter this time. Don't just focus on eating and eating, and lose Taoist Jin'an!"

"Listen to my brother!"

Even the three camels held by Jin An couldn't help but exclaim. Of course, to outsiders' ears, it was just the camels' bleating of um ah ah ah.

"Fourth uncle."

"explain."

"Does Taoist Jin An know Mr. Yiyun who is disguised as a man?"

"You were smart this time and didn't really recognize Mr. Yiyun as a man."

"Fourth Uncle, I may have turned into a camel, but I am not blind."

Old Sadiq: "Based on my experience when your aunt wanted to marry your fourth uncle, Taoist priest Jin'an and Mr. Yiyun had known each other for a long time, and their relationship was very unusual. I didn't see Mr. Yiyun on his way. Have your eyes never left Taoist Jin An?"

Little Sahafu was confused: "Is this really the case? Why do I think Mr. Yiyun was angered by Jin An's curse poem? No, fourth uncle, why did I hear my Apa say that you were the one who stalked and beat my aunt? ?”

Old Sadiq glared at his nephew who had a hundred thousand questions all day: "You are the most talkative!"

"Which one is you married, or your fourth uncle and I? Do you know what the relationship between a man and a woman is and the look in someone's eyes? Remember, we will take more photos of Mr. Yiyun along the way. Flattery, because of your fourth uncle, I have a strong premonition that Master Yiyun will go into the desert with us to search for the Kingdom of the Immortal God. Maybe he will be our future master wife! Although Taoist Master Jin'an did not accept us as Disciple, but there is a saying among the Han people that 'once a teacher is a father forever'!"

"Fourth uncle..."

"Why do you talk so much? What do you want to say this time?"

Little Sahafu, who had only learned Chinese after leaving the village in the past two years and was not very proficient in Chinese culture, asked curiously: "The master's wife among the Han people, translated in our words, is the master's Apa?"

Old Sahafu looked at his nephew speechlessly: "I think you are the big stupid ass, Master's Appa. That Young Master Yiyun will no longer be the mother of Taoist Priest Jin'an!"

Ilham on the side: "?"

"!"

If he had hands, he would have covered his eyes, unable to listen.

Little Sahav had an epiphany: "I understand, the master's wife is the Apa we are talking about!"

Old Sadiq thought seriously, and then nodded hesitantly: "You can say that."

In fact, the old Sadiq knew only a little about the profound Chinese culture and had not studied it systematically. He learned these Chinese words by himself with hardships in the caravan when he was young, but he must maintain his dignity as an elder in front of the younger generation. Dignity, so he made nonsense.

"that……"

Ilham wanted to correct him, but little Sahab nodded seriously: "From now on, Mr. Yiyun will be our Apa!"

As soon as little Sahafu finished speaking, Mr. Yiyun, who was walking side by side with Jin An, suddenly turned his head and glanced at the camel following him. At that moment, old Sadiq and little Sahafu They all felt that Master Yiyun was looking at them both.

"Fourth, fourth uncle..."

"I already know it without you reminding me. Master Yiyun seems to be able to understand what we are saying. He has already seen that we are human beings..."

The uncle and nephew were so frightened that they did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Doesn't Jin An know the chat content of the camel behind him?

Definitely know.

It was precisely because I knew that I was so embarrassed that I didn't look back.

When Mr. Yiyun intentionally or unintentionally glanced back at the camels behind him, Jin An already understood that Mr. Yiyun, who practiced the art of painting and painting, must have seen the secret in the three camels.

This Young Master Yiyun is just like how he behaved when he was in Chang County. He is definitely not a simple person!

Just as Jin An was thinking, Mr. Yan suddenly looked at him: "Taoist Master Jin An, the camels you brought are very active. This Xiaoshi Village is full of gloom all the way. Not only are these camels of yours not frightened, , On the contrary, you can still be active and shout together."

Master Yan has already seen that Jin An is no ordinary little Taoist priest, so he pays attention to Jin An's every move all the way.

Jin An, who was thinking about something, was too lazy to pay attention to Mr. Yan, who was also full of doubts, and just said casually in a perfunctory manner.

…

call--

The cold wind blew through the deserted Laughing Corpse Village, and everyone continued to walk in the Laughing Corpse Village in the dark night.

The tall and thin old man and the fat old man were leading the way with torches held in their hands. The light of the fire swayed crazily in the night wind, as if it was about to be blown out by an invisible wind at any time.

"Two old gentlemen, didn't you say that there are a total of thirteen people in the Laughing Corpse Manor? How come you have only seen three people since entering this manor?" Jin An looked at the dilapidated and old morgues with only doors, no windows, and closed doors. , asked with thoughtful eyes.

The tall and thin old man turned around and said with a smile: "Because the Laughing Corpse Village is very big and there are many places that need to be taken care of. Some people are helping to slaughter the camels in the kitchen, some are helping to tidy up the rooms, and some are patrolling the morgue. In order to prevent the remains of our ancestors from being damaged... Taoist Master Jin'an, if you stay here for a few more days, you can see everyone one after another."

That old face covered with ravines, under the dim and unclear torch light, looked a little scary when he smiled, as if he were facing a shriveled laughing corpse. The smile was dry, showing a mouth of rotten teeth, and it was a bit sinister. Scary.

A sharp cold light flashed in Jin An's eyes: "I'm afraid we won't stay in Laughing Corpse Manor for too long, and we will set off to find the Wu Er clan tomorrow."

The tall and thin old man and the fat old man still led the way, giving vague hums.

Looking at the two old men who were pretending to be mysterious, Jin An frowned slightly.

While talking, the group of people had already arrived at the place where they lived.
