White Bone Monkey King

call--

The white hairs on the back of my neck suddenly shuddered.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but after listening to the old Taoist priest's words, Jin An felt someone blowing on him from behind.

But when he turned around and looked behind him, it was completely dark, and the Xuan Palace was dark and empty. He turned around and saw nothing unusual.

It was strange to say that the wind was still howling behind his neck. He subconsciously glanced at his back and shoulders from the corner of his eyes. There was no dead body lying on his back in the darkness.

"What's wrong little brother?"

The old Taoist priest looked curiously at Jin An who suddenly turned his head to look at Xuan Palace.

Jin An was still turning his head to look around, frowning and thinking, "Have you noticed that this is the first time we have been in the underground palace for so long that there is air circulation in the underground palace?"

Air circulation?

The old Taoist priest glanced at Jin An suspiciously. Soon, even he felt someone blowing wind on the back of his neck. He was caught off guard and stood up with a cry as the hair on his back exploded.

The old Taoist priest's shout was like causing an avalanche, causing chaos among the rest of the people in the Xuan Palace. Everyone turned their heads and looked around suspiciously. Soon, the group of people hiding in the corner of the Xuan Palace began to make noises.

"Little brother, something is going on." The old Taoist priest whispered.

In fact, no need for the old Taoist priest to tell him that Jin An had also noticed the abnormality of those people: "Let's go over and see what's going on."

Except for the three people from Wu Zang Taoist Temple, there are four living people left in Xuan Palace. Jin An's eyes looked strange. Four, dead. He always felt that this number was very ominous.

Among the four people, two had concave eyes and protruding jaws, large faces, and dark skin. They had very typical facial features of Southern Barbarians because they were so skeletal.

But it is strange to say that they are not short in stature, and they are even considered to be top-notch in Kangding Kingdom. For a moment, I was not sure whether these two people were spies from foreigners.

Because the Nanman are a primitive rainforest tribe with difficult living conditions, most people are thin and small.

Jin An had paid attention to these two people as early as when he was on the ground. At that time, the two people also came to him to exchange information. They said that there was a ghost eye under the Abyss Valley. It was these two people who told him.

When the two people communicated with him at that time, they spoke the Kangding Chinese language with a clear accent, and could not find any flaws. Therefore, Jin An was also a little unsure whether the two people with the strange bones were actually Nanbarbarians who had sneaked in. Foreigners?

However, there is no shortage of foreigners in history who have "borrowed seeds" programs, such as secretly sending carefully trained women to the Kangding Kingdom to borrow seeds, and then giving birth to the fetus in the Kangding Kingdom, and then receiving education in the culture and customs of the Kangding Kingdom. They claim to be from Kangding, eating the same white rice, wearing the same clothes, receiving the same Confucian cultural and ideological education, speaking the local dialect fluently, and even joining the army to fight on the front lines and killing fellow tribesmen.

No matter in the eyes of their comrades in the army or the surrounding neighbors, they are Chinese people with upright roots.

But even so, it still cannot change their identities.

Once there is a war, or when important figures need to be assassinated, that's when these shadows will come in real use.

The third person was an old man of half a century wearing a black gown.

The last person was a woman with big breasts and fat buttocks who exuded a strong floral fragrance and a bit of a dusty smell. However, no matter how much she sprayed herself with rouge powder, she still couldn't cover up the stench of corpses and earthy smell.

"What's going on?" As soon as Jin An arrived, he frowned and asked why they were making such a loud noise.

At this time, Jin An had already put on his bronze robe again to hide his identity.

After the half-hundred-year-old man and the woman whose face was smeared with rouge and powder thicker than paper pricks to cover up the smell of corpses exchanged a few words with each other, it was the half-hundred-year-old man who bowed respectfully to Jin An with his hands folded and said: "Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Qi. This little brother is very capable. You can call me Old Qi. This is Miss Hongyu. These two are the Wu brothers, heroes in the green forest. We are all More or less, I had my own destiny to obtain the fragments of Luo Geng’s jade plate and enter the blessed land of cave heaven.”

The half-hundred old man spoke politely. After seeing Jin An and his sword-sharpening skills, he did not dare to rely on his old age to support him in front of Jin An. He was willing to lower his status and call himself "I".

My lord, that is how you call yourself a commoner.

It turned out that just now, the four of them also noticed a gust of wind on the back of their necks, as if someone was blowing wind on the back of their necks. They were suspicious at first, but they didn't find anything unusual in the Xuan Palace, so they also followed Jin Like An, he thought the wind was the air circulating in the underground palace.

But that's where the blame lies.

It is true that in some cemeteries, some secret passages will be left for ventilation or live springs will be built to maintain air circulation in the tomb. This is called dispersing the burial air in Feng Shui, dissipating the yin energy that easily breeds poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and cultivating Yang Qi brings blessings to future generations.

But you must know that they are now in an underground palace dozens of feet deep underground. Even if there is a secret passage for ventilation, it is impossible to have such a strong wind after reaching the deep soil, which can blow the white hair on the back of a person's neck to stand up. .

Speaking of this, Old Man Qi and the rouge-scented woman looked at each other solemnly.

This time it was Old Man Qi who spoke. He continued with a solemn expression: "I know a temple builder who is a very capable man. I was fortunate enough to hear this man build a temple at a Xuanmen tea party. When the temple builder was communicating with others, he heard them mention many strange experiences while driving piles for temple construction, and several times they hit the mausoleum while driving piles for temple construction.”

"Everyone knows that building and repairing temples are good deeds and merits, but temples cannot be built everywhere, otherwise the merits will be too worthless. Most of the places where people can be hired to build temples have strange terrains In places with disordered Feng Shui, for example, it is difficult to bury people in peace, for example, ancestors often cry in their dreams and complain that there is someone beside their pillow, etc., and for example, in some places where there is a lot of trouble caused by dirty things, people will be found to build temples to worship gods and Buddhas who can ward off evil and avoid disasters... As long as there is a place where a temple can be built, it is either a dangerous place or a blessed place, and sometimes the temple will be demolished and rebuilt, so the chance of encountering strange things is very high..."

"...For example, one year, the expert temple builder was invited to build a temple in a place called Lei Gongjian Village. He said that the farmers' harvests in the field had been greatly reduced year after year, so they wanted to build a temple to pray for good weather and a bumper harvest in the coming year. As a result. Halfway through driving the wooden piles, it was impossible to drive them down. When several villagers drove the piles with brute force and collapsed a large hole, they discovered that there was an ancient tomb of a nobleman under their feet."

"These villagers were so poor that they had nothing left to live. When they saw that they had excavated an ancient tomb, they were all jealous of money and wanted to get rich by touching some of the funerary objects. So they did not tell the temple builders about this, but secretly went down to the tomb. Touch the funerary objects. A total of five or six villagers went out that time, and only one escaped, whose skin was peeled off, revealing bloody muscles. The bloody man's eyes, nose, ears, and tongue were all gone, as if he had been struck by something. He was killed alive, his flesh and blood turned into a ball, and he ran out of the tomb and struggled towards other villagers for help."

"Leng Buding suddenly showed up with such a shocking bloody man. The other villagers thought he was digging the foundation for a temple and dug up a bloody corpse. In panic, they beat the man to death with just a few hoes and shovels, and his skull was smashed by the hoe. Halfway through. Afterwards, they were horrified to discover that the dead bloody man was a villager from the same village, and they also discovered the entrance to the ancient tomb with a large amount of blood stains."

"When such a big thing happened, it was natural that the temple builder was alarmed. The temple builder took other villagers and planned to go to the tomb to save people. However, half a day later, the temple builder came out alive with only half of the villagers and even went crazy. When these villagers came out, they didn’t say a word about what happened in the ancient tomb. The temple builders sealed the soil overnight and built a temple on the slope. They killed pigs and sheep for several days and sacrificed them. After the whole village worshiped for ten days and a half, the temple builder left Leigongjian Village exhausted both physically and mentally."

"At the Xuanmen tea party, someone asked the temple builders what exactly they encountered in the ancient tomb. But the temple builders kept it secret and did not mention the specific situation in the ancient tomb. They only said that they were shocked when they got to the tomb. The back of his head was damaged and his mind was enchanted. He has been stuck in the ancient tomb beating the wall and unable to get out." Old Man Qi became more and more solemn as he spoke. From time to time, he looked up at the dark Xuan Palace all around. He didn't know if it was affected by the dark environment. He always It feels like the airflow in Xuan Palace is getting stronger.

"A slap on the back of the head in anger?" Jin An frowned when he heard this.

"There is airflow in the tomb, and fresh air circulates. There should be vents dug in the ancient tomb to release the yin energy. Could it be that the airflow happened to blow to the forehead?"

The old Taoist priest who had been listening quietly nodded in agreement and said: "The Fengmen represents the Xun Gua. In some large tombs that pay attention to Feng Shui and are laid out by Feng Shui masters, it will indeed be opened at the southeast corner. Tomb doors or secret passage vents are used to vent yin energy and nourish yang energy, so as to prevent yin and yang from being disordered and affecting the welfare of future generations."

Jin An and the old Taoist priest are indeed qualified to say this, because not long ago the three of them from Wu Zang Taoist Temple visited the Dragon King's Tomb with others and robbed an imperial tomb. By the way, he also killed the leader of the Teng Kingdom who was trying to resurrect the Corpse Execution Immortal and become the Millennium Corpse King.

At that time, Jin An lit a torch in the southeast corner of the suspected tomb of the Dragon King's Tomb, but the torch was blown out. Some tomb robbers cleverly dug the hole in the southeast corner.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Qi shook his head with a very solemn expression: "Do you know how the master temple builder came out in the end?"

"He knelt down and kowtowed nine times to the ancient tomb, and promised to build a temple as soon as he got out, so that the villagers could come to worship every year and festival, and finally escaped."

"Huh? Kowtow three times and bow nine times to the ancient tomb?" Jin An grasped the key point of Old Qi's words.

When Old Man Qi saw that Jin An wanted to continue talking, he looked nervous and shook his head in panic at Jin An, making a silent gesture. They were standing on someone else's land now, and they couldn't say anything nonsense, lest something bad happen to them.

Seeing Old Qi wink at him in panic, Jin An frowned. He did not continue to ask, but turned to look at the woman next to Old Qi who was applying thick rouge powder to cover up the smell of corpses. : "Miss Hongyu, I smell the corpse odor and earthy smell on you that comes from being exposed to corpses in graves all the time."

"Since you are most familiar with the tomb, do you have any different opinions?"

Before the Hongyu girl could answer, she sharpened her sword dully and expressionlessly, then suddenly turned around and stared at a dark corner.

"Master, the blood on the ground is gone."
