White Bone Monkey King

"woman?"

"Is this the female body that has been missing since it was lost?"

The old Taoist priest spoke in surprise, followed Jin An into the house, and looked up and down at the dead wife and husband in front of him.

This old Taoist priest was indeed courageous. He dared to look directly at a dead person at close range without any fear on his face.

After careful observation, Jin An shook his head and said, "Her eyelids and lower eyelids are intact and there are no wounds. She is not the body we are looking for."

"Little brother, have you noticed that the bodies of the deceased wife and husband are very clean, there is no dust, and even the style of their clothes does not look like ancient things, but rather from the Kangding period? These two people must have just died, right? Are they not of the same era as the other hanged ghosts in this ancient temple?" The old Taoist priest observed carefully and discovered more and more details.

Regarding the conclusion of the old Taoist priest, Jin An nodded in agreement: "You are right, this house is too clean, there are people who come in and out frequently and clean it frequently."

"This person may be the real culprit who dumped the bodies of those outsiders into the Luofeng Mountain cave."

"Master Zheng Liu?" This was the old Taoist priest's first reaction.

Jin An did not answer immediately, but asked a confused question: "When did Mr. Zheng Liu die?"

The old Taoist priest looked at Jin An strangely: "Last night."

Jin An pointed to the candle on the table and asked, "How many hours can a candle burn?"

This hint was very obvious, and the old Taoist priest was surprised and said: "Brother, do you suspect that the person who just lit the candle is still in the ancient temple and has not left yet?"

Good guy.

The old Taoist priest hurriedly took out a few self-defense treasures from the Tai Chi Bagua bag, and was alert to any trouble in the ancient temple outside the house.

On the contrary, Jin An looked at every furnishing in the house with great interest.

"The layout here is based on that of an ordinary family. There are tables, chairs, tea sets, bedding and wardrobes. There are clean beddings on the bed, clean clothes for the couple in the wardrobe. There is a stove, firewood in the kitchen, and soy sauce hanging on the beams. Meat…eh?”

"What's wrong, little brother? Have you discovered anything new?" The old Taoist priest who was guarding behind the door with a copper coin sword in one hand and a yellow talisman in one hand ran to the kitchen nervously and asked.

Jin An smiled and said: "It's okay, I just think there are a lot of bowls and chopsticks here. If it's just a couple living here, they shouldn't need so many bowls and chopsticks. There should be a third person in this house."

"This third person should be a living person who doesn't live here very often, so he only has his dishes and chopsticks, but not his room or bed..."

"I have a bold guess." Jin An pondered.

"This mysterious third person has a close blood relationship with the young couple. He even lost his son in his later years. He couldn't let go of his concern, so he buried the young couple in the ghost house of this ancient temple. Over the years, he would find time to He comes to visit his son and daughter-in-law in the Yin Mansion, and occasionally stays for a meal before leaving, just like an elder who occasionally comes to visit his son's house, deceiving his son, daughter-in-law and his family that they are still alive."

The old Taoist priest nodded. Based on his experience, he also believed that Jin An's statement was the most logical at the moment until there was no more conclusive evidence.

"If that person is really still in this underground ancient temple, are we just going to wait here and wait for him to come back?" the old Taoist priest whispered, as if he was worried that the walls had ears.

He didn't know whether he was worried about the two dead couples outside, or whether he was worried about someone hiding outside the house.

Jin An glanced at the old Taoist priest: "Wait? Wait until when? What I hate the most is hide and seek wasting time! Huh, since he is so nervous about the dead couple outside, we will take them outside directly and force him to show up. "

Jin An snorted, looked at the quiet ancient temple outside the house, and said forcefully.

The old Taoist priest smashed his mouth and sighed: "Only little brother, you, a master of art, dare to speak so harshly. Old Taoist, I can't help but sigh again, fortunately, little brother, you are on the right side, so you can There are always people who better than you."

As he spoke, he winked at Jin An.

Jin An was speechless: "Old Taoist, I see that you have a quick mind and can speak well. After you go out, you shouldn't have to rely on sheep brain hotpot to make up for your injuries."

As soon as he talked about food, the old Taoist priest became very energetic and quickly shouted goodbye, little brother!

Just when the two were about to take away the dead person, suddenly, a low and suppressed horn sounded throughout the ancient underground temple. The horn had a strange melody and was very sad, as if some kind of sacrificial ceremony had begun, opening the door to hell in this dark underground space. Huangquan Road.

Jin An came to the door with a heavy look and saw a cloud of gray mist rising up from nowhere in the entire underground space. The world in front of him was changing rapidly. For example, the paint on the murals was peeling off piece by piece. The colors in the world were fading away, leaving only the black and white in the underworld. .

"Be careful! The Yinsha statues in this ancient temple are not ordinary things. We are forced to go down to the underworld!"

Just as Jin An was about to remind the old Taoist priest, he turned around and found that the old Taoist priest was not behind him, and even the deceased wife and husband behind him were gone.

When he turned around to look for the old Taoist priest, he found that the entire house and the ancient temple were gone. He was in a thick gray fog that was rolling violently, and his vision was limited. He could only barely see the world outside ten feet.

He knew that this was not an illusion, but that they were forced to go to the underworld and descend into the underworld. He was now in the underworld.

There are many ancient secrets buried in the underworld. I don’t know how many dead people and gods are buried from ancient times to the present. No one can tell how the underworld came from, let alone how big the underworld is, where it originated, and where. It's the end of it again.

Just like the world he saw in front of him, it was so foggy that he couldn't see its true face.

Crash--

It's the sound of running water.

Jin An thought for a moment, then followed the sound of running water. If he was in an illusion, staying where he was was the best way. But this is the underworld, and anything can happen. Staying where you are is not necessarily a good thing. The first thing at the moment is to find the old Taoist priest first, and then find a way to leave the underworld and return to the earth.

For the time being, he will not worry about whether the old Taoist priest, a living person, will appear in the underworld and have his throat cut, bloodshed, and his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs eaten by the souls of the underworld, because he knows that the old Taoist priest has many ways to temporarily suppress the three yang fires. Let the dead not see him.

For example, pressing the ancient coins stolen from the ground with your tongue can temporarily suppress the Yang Qi and open the Yin door.

For example, putting a drop of corpse oil on each shoulder and the top of the head can temporarily suppress the Yang energy.

…

Jin An walked following the sound of water, and a large river appeared in front of him. As he approached the river, the thick fog around him gradually became lighter. The closer he got to the river bank, the lighter the gray fog became, and his field of vision became wider.

But after he came a few feet away from the river, he did not get any closer. The river in the underworld is a nine-curved yellow spring that connects all parts of the world. It can transport the bones of the dead from all over the world. Weird and weird things can happen. He will not approach the underworld rashly before the environment is unknown. any river in it.

"Why does this river look familiar..."

Jin An pondered for a moment, then his face changed slightly: "This is the river in front of Fenghuang Town!"

Because the river at this time was not blocked by mudslides and boulders, he did not recognize it at first.

I didn’t expect that the underworld would appear so far away this time.

At this time, Jin An seemed to be standing at a crossroads. If he walked forward along the river bank, he would go directly to Fenghuang Town, where strange things happened. If he walked back, he would leave Fenghuang Town. Without hesitation, he walked into Fenghuang Town to find the old Taoist priest.

He believed that the old Taoist priest would make the same decision as him.

"The Phoenix Town in the world of the world violates human ethics and behaves like an animal. I want to see what kind of crazy world the Phoenix Town in the underworld is like!"
