White Bone Monkey King

When Jin An stepped into the temple and saw the statue of the human-faced god, he suddenly felt blessed.

Avenue induction!

Yin Deyi!

Yin Deyi!

Yin Deyi!

…

…

Jin An was stunned for a moment when he sensed twenty or thirty great avenues. This was one of the few people who sensed so many yin virtues at the same time.

It's sharpening the sword and killing again!

Huh?

It’s so strange, as a teacher, why do I have to say it again?

"What's wrong with Taoist Priest Jin An?" Uncle Lin was always paying attention to Jin An and immediately noticed something unusual about Jin An.

Jin An laughed happily and said it was okay, and then looked at the human-faced statue in front of him and the human-faced square tripod with great interest.

"I don't know what kind of people would build a divine temple in the Bottomless Valley. I don't know which deity the human face they worship comes from?" Jin An said casually. He was shallow and wanted to get relevant information from other people. .

Mr. Mo was unwilling to talk to Jin An. Master Jue Hai's attention was attracted by the layout of Shenyu. The last person to answer Jin An's question was Uncle Lin.

Uncle Lin: "Taoist Priest Jin'an, can you hear the legend of the sharks?"

Jin An: "'There are sharks outside the South China Sea, they live in the water like fish, they don't waste time weaving, and their eyes can produce pearls when weeping.' Uncle Lin wants to say that this divine temple was built by the shark clan? But the sharks Aren’t they a tribe in myths and legends? Moreover, the sharks only live in the warm spring-like South China Sea, not the East China Sea.”

Uncle Lin: "It is true that the divine temple here was not built by the sharks, but there are many special ethnic groups recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas that are as good at water as the sharks."

"In the "Book of Mountains and Seas" chapter of the Overseas Eastern Classic, there is a record of a god named Tian Wu. The Tian Wu man has a tiger body and a human face. He has eight heads, eight claws, eight tails, and all eight heads have human faces. The very famous water god in the Overseas Eastern Classic of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" also has another name, 'Zouyu'."

“In the Overseas Eastern Classic of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is another record of a foreign country called the Black Tooth Country. The people of the Black Tooth Country have jet black teeth, feed on rice, and are good at controlling snakes.”

"There is also a Tang Valley in the north of Black Teeth Kingdom. There is a sacred tree beside the Tang Valley. It is the legendary Fuso Sacred Tree. It is the place where the ten golden crows bathe."

"After passing Tanggu, there is a Yushi Concubine country to the north of Tanggu. The people there are all black. It is said that they hold a snake in each hand, and their earrings are a green snake and a red snake."

"To the north of Yushi's concubine country, there is Xuangu Kingdom, which wears fish skin clothing, and Mao Minguo, whose body is as hairy as a porcupine."

"In addition to the above, there are also the Kingdom of Adults, Kingdom of Shebishi God, Water Monkeys, etc."

"According to the clues we found in some ancient books and the autobiographies of our ancestors, the people living here are most likely descendants of the Soochow Kingdom."

There are sharks in the South China Sea, and there are Zou and Yu in the East China Sea. This world is strange, absurd, and strange.

Shenyu is like a paradise in the deep sea. It is not flooded and dry inside. It is covered with a thick layer of dust and has deep footprints. It seems that no descendants of Zuo Yu have come here to hold sacrificial ceremonies for a long time. I don’t know if it is because of Zuo Yu. What happened to the descendants of Yu? Did they die or did they abandon this place for some other special reason?

Looking around, there was no other eye-catching special thing in Shenyu except the human-faced statue and the human-faced square tripod, so everyone turned their attention to the human-faced square tripod in front of them.

It seems that the source of Shenyu's ability to avoid being flooded should come from these two things in front of him.

Several people lifted themselves up, lifted off the ground, and finally saw clearly what was in the human-faced square cauldron. This sight made people frown.

The scenes in the Sifangding Ding with Human Faces are very bloody, and they are all human faces that have been peeled off. Some of these people have old people, some are women and children, but most of them are old people.

"Amitabha, most of these sacrifices are given to elderly people. Could it be that these sacrifices come from the people of Zouyu?" Master Juehai, who is highly skilled in Xinchan Buddhism, saw the essence at a glance.

Master Juehai's words caused many people present to think deeply.

"Zouyu people have a tiger body and a human face, with eight heads, eight legs and eight tails. Perhaps they worship the human face very much, so they can peel off the human face after death and sacrifice it to the ancestors in the gods as a supreme honor."

"Similar to being buried in the ancestral land after death?"

"That's pretty much it."

Jin An also pondered at this time and said: "This conjecture is not impossible. It reminds me of my experience in the snowy areas of the plateau. People there worship the snowy mountains and the sky. They believe that people choose to be buried in the sky after death and feed their bodies to the plateau vultures. , is a kind of freedom of soul, closest to the gods they believe in. Each place has its own customs, and what we think is disrespectful to the deceased may be a completely different thing to other ethnic groups."

The main reason why everyone accepted Master Juehai's statement so quickly is because everyone has been exposed to some cult sacrifice activities. Those sacrifices were all young adults or boys and girls. I have never encountered anyone using the elderly as sacrifices. .

For example, young women were sacrificed to He Bo and the Dragon King.

The sacrifices to the wild gods of the mountains are boys and girls.

Folks have never heard that He Bo and Dragon King want to marry an old woman with a hunchback and deafness.

As Jin An said before, each place has its own customs and customs, and they did not touch the human faces in the Sifang Ding.

Next, everyone discussed for a while and planned to move the human-faced statue to the Shenzhou. If the human-faced statue could protect the gods, it could also protect their entire boat.

"Anyway, bringing one is just a guide, and bringing two is just a piggyback. I think it's better to bring the human-faced bronze cauldron with you, and find an opportunity to do a ritual for them, which can be regarded as repaying the cause and effect." Jin An's suggestion Of course, no one vetoed it. The closer they reached their level, the more they attached importance to karma.

Just as they were moving the statue of the human-faced god, the surrounding seawater washed away this temple with a heavy history like an avalanche.

When the people on the Shenzhou saw Jin An and the others carrying back the human-faced statue and the human-faced square tripod, they all showed expressions of surprise. After hearing the introduction, they all showed expressions of interest and kept circling around in admiration.

Especially the peeled faces in the Sifang Ding of Human Faces frightened many onlookers. The Third Prince and others were originally very interested in seeing what the legendary Zuyu people looked like, but they were beaten by a few people. An old eunuch refused to let him see it, saying that such evil things would collide with the dragon energy holy body.

Soon after, the golden light avenue in the Bottomless Valley completely dissipated, and in ten days it sank back to the deepest part of the Bottomless Valley, and the sea water enveloped the Shenzhou again. But this time the Shenzhou was safe and sound, and the human-faced statue was indeed effective. Zhenguo Temple, Yujing Golden Tower, and Wu Zang Taoist Temple began to chant sutras around the human-faced statue and the human-faced four-sided tripod for salvation.

During this period, Jin An received several bad words, and Chi Jian started killing again. Not knowing what happened to Chi Jian, Jin An felt concerned and worried.
