Chapter 131 I want to ask where Gu Hong is going, but I don't know my life experience (7K chapters, please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket)
March [-].

In the middle of spring and the month of May, all things are startled.

In this cold spring, the cold wind on the river is as cold as a knife, and the [-] mountains are sinking like a dead tomb.

There is a county on the bank of Yinyi River.

It was a county called Chang.

Jin An withdrew from Yin and woke up, surrounded by a dark and narrow space, his body seemed to be stuck, and the surrounding was so quiet that there was no sound.

Knowing that he was still in the coffin, Jin An couldn't wait to push open the heavy coffin lid, wanting to tell the old Taoist and the old man the good news, huh?Unexpectedly, the lid of the coffin did not move at all.

Jin An tried to push the coffin lid again, but it still didn't move.

boom!boom!
what happened?What the hell is going on out there?
Jin An used all his strength to smash the coffin lid, but the coffin lid was still unmoved, and the chill came over his scalp, and the coffin lid was sealed from the outside.

boom!
The coffin lid was blown apart, and the explosion was accompanied by thick loess pressing on the coffin.

The moment the coffin lid was smashed, there was a strong sunlight outside that dazzled Jin An's eyes, and the whiteness in front of his eyes was dazzling. Isn't it night? Why is it daytime?

Jin An was dazzled by the sun, and before he could see his surroundings clearly, several horrified shouts suddenly sounded around him.

"what!"

"There's a corpse in the grave!"

"Help!"

Jin An, whose eyes had recovered a bit, finally saw the surroundings clearly. He saw several men and women running away in panic, crying for their father and mother.

At his feet, incense candles and paper money used to worship the dead were overturned.

But at this time, Jin An had no time to take care of those people. He sat up from the coffin with his eyes sinking. They are all small graves where the dead are buried.

No wonder it was difficult for him to push the lid of the coffin just now, the white coffin he was lying on when he passed away was actually buried alive!
Jin An looked at the strange scene in front of him, his eyes were confused.

Can anyone tell me what is going on here?

Why did I wake up from the yin, the whole world turned upside down, I woke up from the grave, am I already dead?

Then I came back from the dead?

Jin An stood up from the soil bag in the cemetery in a daze. He looked at a village not far away, which was the layout of Xiba Village he was familiar with.

And I also overlooked the familiar Yinyi River embankment.

But now Xiba Village has become a deserted village where people go to the village.

The houses in the village are dilapidated, with collapsed roofs, broken walls, and overgrown weeds as tall as a person. If it is night, this is a veritable ghost village.

According to its desolate and dilapidated appearance, it has not been lived in for at least ten years.

Hades?

Yangjian?

At this time, all kinds of thoughts came one after another, Jin An was so headache from thinking about it, and the confusion in his eyes became more intense, who can tell me!What the hell is going on with all this!

Where is the old way?
What about silly sheep?
Why did I just wake up from a sleepless night, but it turned into a sea of ​​​​changing fields, things are changing, am I really dead?
That sense of loneliness and absurdity that is unfamiliar to the whole world made Jin An feel uneasy and flustered. Could it be that I haven't withdrawn from the shadows yet, but have been targeted by some evil spirit and have been stuck in the haunted world? Didn't come out of the illusion of the wall?

Thinking of this, Jin An's gaze sank immediately, and then he sacrificed the Liuding Liujia Talisman on his body. At this time, he didn't care about wasting anything, let's go!

However, the man has not turned into a burly soul six feet six tall, he is still in the shape of a normal human being, he has indeed returned from the underworld to the underworld, and Jin An's thinking has fallen into chaos.

In a daze, Jin An walked out of the coffin.

With the last glimmer of hope, he wanted to go to Xiba Village to find the missing people.

But at this moment, Jin An stepped on something, looked down, and saw a bundle of bamboo slips in the coffin beside his feet.

In addition to the bamboo slips, there were several other familiar things in the coffin.

A bamboo slip "The Secret Biography of the Five Viscera".

"Guangping Youshuotongganlu" is a thread-bound ancient book.

a letter.

A disc.

There are words on the Taoist plate, the Taoist of the five internal organs, the master of the Taoist temple of the five internal organs.

Looking at the words on the Taoist disk, Jin An's muddled thinking became a little clearer. He put away all the things in the coffin, and then walked towards Xiba Village with a lonely back and a confused silence.

……

Jin An walked into the deserted Xiba Village and looked at the familiar layout of the village, but now there are ten rooms and ten rooms.

The lively village last night has become desolate and uninhabited today, with overgrown weeds and a veritable ghost village.

Is this Huangliang Yimeng ten years?
Or is the person dead in the coffin and resurrected ten years later?

Jin An used the knife in his hand to clean up the weeds high in the yard, then covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and walked into the dusty house.

A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the floor of the house, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.

And there is no black coffin in the main hall of the house.

There is no white coffin either.

This is just the main hall furnished by ordinary people's homes.

Next, Jin An silently walked through every corner of the house. The window sills, tables, and all the furniture in the house were covered with a thick layer of dust.There are also many vines growing on the wall, covered with dust, but there are no Taoist scriptures painted all over the wall by the old Taoist priest.

Undeterred, Jin An went through all the vacant houses in the entire Xiba Village. There was no cinnabar scripture painted on the wall of any house, which directly ruled out the possibility of Jin An misremembering the address.

Unknowingly...

Jin An walked to the edge of the river embankment...

Due to years of disrepair and lack of long-term governance by the government, most of the river embankment has been collapsed by floods over the years. The river embankment is covered with sand and weeds and trees are lush.

Hoo, hoo, hoo--

The wind by the river was so strong that it made Jin An's cheeks hurt.

Jin An silently circulated the inner energy of Black Mountain Gong in his body to resist the cold wind by the river.

"Black Mountain Kungfu", "Blood Knife Sutra", "Sixty Road Opening Stele", "The Secret Biography of the Five Viscera", the cultivation base of Jianghu martial arts and Taoist mentality are still there.

The Husha Saber, the Six Ding Liujia Talisman, the Five Thunder Slaying Evil Talisman, and several items sealed by Yinde are still there.

This shows that what happened to him in the past month or so was real and not a dream.

"So what's the problem?"

"The Liuding Liujia Talisman and the Five Thunder Slaying Evil Talisman are real, so the old Taoist priest is also a real person, so where are the old Taoist priest and the silly sheep now? Why don't you wait for me to wake up from the white coffin? gone?"

"The golden lock with the same heart is also real, and it is really worn on me, so the murderous corpse in the white coffin is also real... I don't know if I am like Du Shiniang, jumping into the river in anger with the golden lock of the same heart, the murderous corpse in the white coffin Will the Lord really help me out?"

Jin An stood on the river embankment with long loess and overgrown weeds, looking at the surging Yinyi River under his feet, Jin An took a step, and silently retracted it.

The water is a little cold today.

Let's dance another day.

……

……

"Dao, Daoist, are you going to commit suicide by jumping into the river?"

"A person's life is only a few decades, isn't it good to live?"

Suddenly, the cautious voices of several people came from behind.

Jin An's thoughts were interrupted, he turned around and looked behind him, and saw that the grave-sweeping people who had been scared away by him before, went back and forth, and were watching him with concern from a distance.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Afraid." Those few people nodded honestly.

"Then do you think I'm a human, or a fake corpse?"

This time, those people first argued a few words before answering Jin An cautiously: "Master Daoist, you should be human, because only human beings dare to stand under the sun and not be afraid of the sun."

Jin An was silent, and then looked blankly at the world in front of him: "Can I ask a question, how many years has Zhengde been in Kangding Kingdom?"

A thick-browed middle-aged man among them replied, "Responding to the words of the Taoist priest, this year is the 11th year of Zhengde."

"The 11th year of Zhengde..."

"The 11th year of Zhengde..."

Jin An muttered to himself first.

Then he asked urgently: "Ten years ago, in the first year of Zhengde, did a major event happen in Changxian County. In Wenwu Temple in Changxian County, there was a green willow tree that changed from bronze leaves to brass leaves overnight?"

Unexpectedly, facing Jin'an's question, those few people all showed doubts.

"Chang County has been dead for ten years, who still remembers what happened for so long."

"Chang County is a ghost town now. Ten years ago, there was a big fire, and the people in the whole city were burned to death. No one dares to go near there now."

Several people chattered and discussed.

hum!
Jin An felt a roar in his head, he was stunned on the spot, and then hurriedly asked what happened ten years ago?
But none of those people knew much about the details.

It can only be vaguely stated that the demise of Chang County was caused by a terrible fire.

The fire burned the whole city, and the fire spread quickly. No matter whether it was the old and the weak, women and children, country gentry, merchants, or government officials, no one escaped. Tens of thousands of people in the city were burned alive inside.

It was a purgatory on earth. Later, the government said that they were worried that the corpses would cause a plague, so they sealed the gates of Chang County. Naturally, no one knew what was going on inside...

At this time, it was still the thick-browed middle-aged man, recalling while saying: "I heard from my grandma about what happened ten years ago, because my grandma almost couldn't escape the fire in half a day, so the memory is special." deep."

"My grandma went to the city during the day to participate in the Qingming Temple, but the next day, she learned that Chang County was burned down by a fire. The government came to ask the surrounding villages to move out quickly, saying that there were so many corpses and there was no place to bury them. I was worried. There will be a plague."

"Although Xiba Village is forty miles away from Chang County, the government said that Xiba Village is safe, but everyone is very afraid that so many people will die. If a plague breaks out, it will definitely affect this place, so we moved with other villages. The village is dozens of miles away."

The man continued to recall, and Jin An gradually learned more details.

According to this person, the day when the fire broke out in Chang County was the same as today, it was the Qingming Festival, and that day was the Qingming Temple Fair.

The Qingming Temple Fair is the most lively and important festival of the year in Chang County. There are villages near Chang County, as well as tourists from other places. Naturally, many people go to Chang County to participate in the Qingming Temple Fair to see the thousand-year-old sacred tree Qingqianliu.

And this man's grandma, on the day of Qingming ten years ago, was lucky enough to see that thousand-year-old sacred tree, Cyclocarya paliurus, in an ox cart from the village to the city to participate in the temple fair.

Next to the incense box next to the willow, someone is responsible for introducing the origin of the Man Mo Temple and the willow. For example, the construction of the Man Mo Temple is based on the memory of a noble Confucian who drove out foreign invasion and died in battle.

"Let me tell you, there was a Taoist priest who was queuing behind my grandma at that time, but when my grandma went back to the village in a bullock cart, she kept scolding the Taoist priest, saying that the Taoist priest's words were ugly, and he actually spoke in front of the green willow The great Confucian from our Chang County is a big thief who is greedy for life and afraid of death, betrays the country and seeks glory, and deceives the world."

"The Taoist priest didn't speak very loudly, and only a few people near my grandma happened to hear it. But my grandma was timid and afraid to offend the Taoist priest. Later, she only dared to talk to our family after returning home."

"Unexpectedly, Chang County was engulfed by a fire that night, and no one escaped."

"That's why my grandma has always suspected that it must be the Taoist priest who disrespected the sacred tree, who offended God and caused a whole city of people to be buried with him."

The man seemed to think of something, and said mysteriously: "By the way, I remembered, my grandma did mention to us that after the Taoist priest finished scolding Qingqianliu, Qingqianliu did change."

"But that all happened after my grandma left Chang County. Later, after sunset, some people who came out before the curfew closed the city gate said they saw the change of the green willow."

When Jin An heard this, he was stunned again.

He was surprised and asked back: "No, shouldn't it be the day of the Qingming Temple Fair? After someone scolded the green willow, the green willow had a miracle overnight, and then the Qingming temple fair with brass leaves grew more lively and lasted for a long time." Ten years of prosperity...is it the end that the whole city dies?"

……

"Master Dao, we are all natives of Chang County, so how could we remember wrongly?"

"Indeed, on the day after scolding Qingqianliu, Chang County was burned down by a fire."

Hearing Jin An's inexplicable words, the thick-browed middle-aged man carefully sized up the strange young Taoist priest in five-color Taoist robes in front of him: "Master Taoist, why did you sleep in the coffin of the dead in the cemetery?"

"Did you offend some enemy and be buried alive in the coffin by the enemy?"

Jin An gave a few ambiguous hums casually, and then eagerly asked the people in front of him for more details.

According to the other party, the Kangding government not only sealed off the city, but also relocated all the people within dozens of miles around Changxian County.

Although Xiba Village is far away from Chang County, it was also empty and desolate ten years ago.

And today is the time for worshiping ancestors during the Qingming Festival, and the few people in front of them are courageous. In recent years, they have returned to their hometown to sweep graves every year.

Because everyone felt that it had been ten years since the fire in Chang County, the dead were all eaten up and only bones remained, and there was nothing to fear from the plague.

Therefore, in villages farther away from Chang County like Xiba Village, many people began to return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors one after another.

These people only know so much, and they don't know the deeper details. After all, what happened ten years ago is too long, too long.

Long enough to bury all the truth in rolling yellow sand.

Seeing that Jin An really didn't look like someone who wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide, they all left after not staying for long.

After all, they saw Jin An get out of the coffin in the cemetery with their own eyes. The living belong to the living, but it is still very scary.

As a result, only Jin An was left in the same place again, as if he had been abandoned by heaven and earth, his figure was lost.

……

……

Chang County.

When Jin'an returned to his hometown, it was only one night, and things have changed here already.

The city gate is closed.

The tall city walls ravaged by the vicissitudes of time have been barren for a long time, revealing a thick and heavy sadness, like a silent and sentimental giant.

Nuo big a city.

It was dead silent.

It was not difficult for Jin An to climb over the city wall. When Jin An, the only living person, was isolated on the city wall, he quietly looked at the collapsed ruins and the dead city overgrown with weeds and bushes after the fire was extinguished.

desolate.

sad.

There is also the sourness with mixed feelings, all rushing to the throat at this moment.

"I am back?"

"Do you guys remember me..."

Is the disaster that happened last night the same suffering that was inflicted on you ten years ago?
Are you the ones who took me through again, the catastrophe that no one escaped ten years ago?

Various images from the past month or so once again clearly emerged in Jin An's mind.

pat.

pat.

In the deserted market, there were corpses everywhere, Jin An walked alone in it, the sound of his footsteps echoed in the surroundings.

He walked through familiar square markets, street markets, stone bridges, dry river beds, the collapsed Fengle Building, the Deshan Building that was destroyed by fire, the mutton restaurant that Jin'an and the old Taoist liked to go to, the inn, and others. The place where the old Taoist goat lived, the yamen, the Goulan tile shop...

And half of the street was destroyed by gunpowder, and a huge earth pit was blown out of the original site of Man Mo Temple.

"In order to expel the invasion of foreign tribes, he died on the battlefield, a great Confucian with noble integrity..."

Jin'an looked at the Wenwu Temple that had been reduced to nothing, his face was sentimental, lamented, and finally turned into anger: "Crafting life and fearing death, traitorous people seeking glory, turning on and off to let foreigners burn, kill and loot, but they still have the face to stand up for themselves. Temple, set up a tablet of chastity for yourself! Let the world sing your praises, you died in battle, you would rather die than surrender, and whitewash the treacherous people as high-minded scholars! Other treacherous ministers are notorious for thousands of years, but you are deceiving the world and stealing your name, the more you live, the more you look like a saint!"

……

The flowers and the willows circled the sky in sorrow, ascending to the fullest city and upstairs.

If you want to ask where Gu Hong is going, you don't know your life experience.

As the setting sun slanted, it was on an official road far away from Chang County.

A carriage was driving slowly on the official road, farther and farther away from Chang County, and an old man was pulling the reins to drive the carriage.

"My lord, this old slave has always been puzzled by one thing. Why didn't you meet with Mr. Jin'an for the last time before leaving?"

There was silence in the carriage for a while, the curtains on the side of the carriage were lifted, and the people sitting in the carriage silently admired the distant scenery of the golden roof in the setting sun: "There is no feast that never ends."

"If we are destined, there will be a day when we meet again."

"If you don't have a fate, see it as if you don't see it, it's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes."

Qi Bo sighed: "Sir, if you don't tell Mr. Jin'an clearly, how will he know that he strayed into Huangyuchang County that day, and almost died of resentment just like other passers-by in the past ten years. In Guiyuchang County, where thousands of lonely souls live."

"If you don't say it clearly, how will others know that you saved someone, young master?"

Calm in the car.

The person in the carriage did not answer Qi Bo's words.

Young Master, Young Master, even this old slave, I can see that you have something on your mind. If you really have something on your mind, you should see Mr. Jin An for the last time. After today’s departure, the chance to meet again in the future... I’m afraid it’s as small as that. It's raining endlessly.

Qi Bo sighed, as a person who came here, he has already seen that Young Master is reluctant to take the initiative to find Young Master Jin An, and wants to wait for Young Master Jin An to come to her on his own initiative, but Young Master, if you don't take the initiative to explain that it was you who made the move from Chang How could Mr. Jin'an, who had been rescued in this increasingly noisy and vicious ghost land in the county, know the truth?
On the contrary, Mr. Jin An mistakenly thought that it was Mr. You left without saying goodbye. The misunderstanding here will only grow bigger and bigger in the future.

Thinking of this, Qi Bo, who was driving the carriage, fell into the unforgettable emotional memories of his youth again.

Back then, because of each other's arrogance, no one could let go of the shame and take the initiative to find each other, leaving the rest of their lives to regret, and in the end it really became better to forget each other...

Qi Bo was driving all the way, seeing that the young master was silent all the way, knowing that the young master was upset at this moment and couldn't listen to his own words, so he started talking to himself: "This ghost town in Chang County is getting more and more powerful."

"Ten years ago, it was just a riot in the city, but now Qingqianliu has not been punished, resulting in more and more resentment, even the consecrated Buddhist artifacts by the eminent monks of Zhenguo Temple are faintly unable to suppress the resentment of thousands of souls in the ghost city The resentment in the city actually began to spread dozens of miles away, affecting passers-by dozens of miles away, leading passing merchants and passers-by to Chang County by mistake."

"Tsk tsk, but that Mr. Jin'an is also a strange person. He also helped those wronged souls to clear their grievances. First, the 'Thunder God splitting the corpse case', and then the 'Water ghost drowning case', and he also assisted the Chang County government to solve the case for ten years. The shocking case before."

"The next step is not to be greedy for worldly yellow and white things, to take the initiative to exchange the evil money in the hands of the people of Chang County, and to deal with the thousand-year-old evil tree Qingqianliu together on the night of the shocking change, and to rescue so many people. The people went out of the city."

"Although those people had already died in the catastrophe that night ten years ago, it was precisely because no one was willing to rescue them ten years ago, and the whole city, women, children, old and young, died in the city, and no one escaped, so they Only after death will the resentment and resentment in the heart be turned into soaring resentment, resenting the injustice of the world, why no one lends a helping hand to them. Just like drowning people often resent the people on the shore why they didn’t go into the water to save them.”

Qi Bo continued: "In the past ten years, every night, this Chang County ghost area will re-enact the disaster of that night ten years ago, but anyone who passes by the vicinity of Chang County is affected by the soaring resentment and enters Chang County by mistake. None of the passers-by, merchants, scholars, young ladies... or the monks and Taoist priests who took the initiative to go to the city to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, can survive. But Jin An, an ordinary person at the beginning, is alone. "

"Mr. Jin'an has not only become the most critical person to break the situation, but also resolved the ten-year grievances in Chang County that have become more and more fierce, and the grievances of thousands of lonely souls have dissipated a lot. Not coming out to harm people again, this is a great merit, even the old slave I envy; especially Mr. Jin'an also formed a good relationship with the lonely soul in the city, that is a fierce soul full of resentment , This is a strange thing, tsk tsk."

"It's also fortunate that you didn't tell Mr. Jin'an the truth about the Ghost Domain in Chang County in advance. Otherwise, if you knew it in advance, it would be unsatisfactory and ineffective."

After Qi Bo finished speaking, he did not forget to flatter his young master: "Of course, young master, you have a heart for the world, and you are full of righteousness. When you heard that the ghost town in Chang County is getting more and more noisy, this time you took the initiative to enter the devil's lair to eliminate demons. Zhai has a kind heart, and he must be a person who inherits the great blessings of the entire Kangding Kingdom. Even if Mr. Jin'an does not become the one who breaks the situation this time, you will definitely save the day and leave Chang County safely this time, Mr.

"And the reason why Mr. Jin'an was able to break the situation this time is because you were kind-hearted at the beginning, Mr. Jin'an, and you couldn't bear to see him die for nothing, so you gave Mr. Jin'an the opportunity to practice, and taught Mr. Jin'an how to practice. Mr. Jin An, an ordinary person, can still have a chance of saving his life in Chang County Ghost Domain."

"I want to tell you, my lord, we should turn around and go back to Chang County immediately, look for Mr. Jin'an, and then explain all your hard work to Mr. Jin'an, so that Mr. Jin'an will remember you forever."

"Yes, you should let Mr. Jin'an remember you for the rest of your life, and never forget that kind of ... Mr. Master, why don't I turn around and go back to Mr. Jin'an immediately?"

There was still silence in the car.

did not respond.

The young master has something on his mind, so he can't even flatter him anymore?

Qi Bo was still waving the whip in his hand, lightly whipping the rear of the horse pulling the carriage, and driving the carriage absent-mindedly on the long official road.

"Young master, are you asleep?"

Under the golden sunset, there was still no response from inside the carriage.

After a while, Qi Bo asked again in a low voice: "My lord, where should we travel next time?"

It was still quiet in the car.

While waiting, finally, the person in the carriage spoke again.

"Qingqianliu has been away for ten years. It is hidden very deep. There has been no news. Others have searched for ten years and have not found Qingqianliu. You and I alone have no way to find it."

"I heard that the last time the Nine-faced Buddha appeared was in the Kingdom of the Immortal God. The Nine-faced Buddha is too old. I heard that he is so old that he is about to run out of fuel, so he is now anxious to reincarnate in the tenth life and complete his cultivation. The tenth-faced Buddha, let's go find the legendary kingdom of the undead."

"The monk Pu Zhi is also one of the disciples and grandchildren of the Nine-faced Buddha. There has been no trace of the Nine-faced Buddha in Kangding. The Yin master and the paper piercer are mixed together, there must be some kind of conspiracy... I guess they still don't give up on the Juyin basin ten years ago, and want to come to Chang County to continue looking for clues to the Juyin basin, just in case the Nine-Faced Buddha reincarnates for the first time The tenth life failed, and the nine-faced Buddha was revived by using the Juying basin."

The person in the carriage spoke with contemplation.

Hearing about the Kingdom of the Immortal God, Qibo's expression changed and turned bitter.

When he heard that his master was not only looking for the Kingdom of the Immortal God, but also troublesome for the Nine-faced Buddha in the Kingdom of the Immortal God, Qi Bo cried out in his heart: "Young master, you still said that you want to forget Mr. Jin'an in the world!" Well, you're going straight to the Nine-faced Buddha's lair now."

Of course, Qi Bo would not dare to say such speculation about his master's mind. He turned to talk about another matter: "The Kingdom of the Immortal God has always been a mystery, and no one knows its exact location."

"However, I have heard rumors that if you want to find the Kingdom of the Undead God, you must first find several ancient countries that have disappeared for thousands of years in the historical records, such as the Che Kingdom, the Wuer Family, and the Beauty Figurines. The location of Death God Kingdom..."
