Holy Bone

Chapter 1421: Jiuqu Huangquan Road, riding on a corpse

Just when the others were wondering, Taoist Qingfeng raised his hand, and Yuanshen Photographer brought a few dead bodies for a closer look.

When the old marquis Po Junhou, who was sitting on the huge head of Lu Ban Mu Yuan, saw this, his eyes were shining, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. Then he, who was also a photographer of the soul, fished out a few dead bodies from the river and observed them together. .

Others followed suit one after another, and many dead people were left in the meadow and swamp. These dead people's bodies were swollen and pale from soaking, and they looked horrifying.

Even Jin'an salvaged two dead bodies for observation.

Huh?

Jin An salvaged casually, but he didn't expect that all the corpses he picked up were the corpses of women with coiled hair. However, after being soaked in it for so long, the body is swollen, the facial features are fat, and the skin is so pale that it is whiter than ten layers of lime powder. It cannot be said to be beautiful or good-looking.

The Thousand-Eyed Daojun Statue became energetic and deliberately shouted: "Martial Arts Corpse Immortal, are you born with horoscopes to attract beautiful women? How come the two floating corpses that were salvaged are all beautiful women with supple skin."

The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord glanced at the real person Qingxi as he spoke. Others had two eyes, but it was a thousand-eyed person who looked at the real person Qingxi. The ghost couldn't hide his thoughts, so he deliberately called the real person Qingxi. It was clear what I was thinking when I heard it.

I still can’t forget the revenge of a beautiful woman whose head was cut off by Jin An on the way.

He shouted deliberately to attract the attention of Master Qing Xi.

Sure enough, Master Qingxi, who was studying the dead body with Taoist Qingfeng, turned around to look.

Jin An glared again: "Qianyan Daojun, you want to cause trouble, don't you?"

There is sediment in the mouth and nose, but there is no water in the abdomen. It is inferred that he fell into the water after death and soaked in the river for a long time. Some sediment was washed in from the mouth and nose.

Master Qing Xi nodded thoughtfully.

Jin An stared at the Taoist statue with thousands of eyes: "Shui Lingling, you big-headed ghost, your facial features have been deformed by the water, and your skin is wrinkled."

As soon as Jin An noticed it, Master Qingxi immediately noticed and came over. It seemed that Master Qingxi didn't really care about the words of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue.

But instead of loosening his brows, Jin An frowned again.

Jin An also did not shy away from corpses. He clamped the corpse's mouth with his left hand and opened it. He thrust the index finger of his right hand into the throat of the corpse. When he brought it out, there was no river sand or silt on his fingertips, which further verified his inference.

Jin An sneered and wanted to point his finger at the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord statue in the air. This evil god was clever and could run faster than a dog.

The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord moved towards Master Qing Xi, and was ready to hide from Master Qing Xi at any time: "No, no, why are you so anxious, Martial Arts Corpse Immortal?"

These are three sentences that never leave the head of a beautiful woman. The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist King keeps reminding her how important it is, and that she is the meritorious official who has worked hard and achieved great results.

Jin An photographed several more floating corpses from the air, and it turned out that they were all female corpses. These were all trivial matters. After Jin An examined the corpses one by one, they still found the same cause or condition of death. They were fake corpses that did not possess the Yin Qi to nourish the corpses. There may be no signs of decomposition.

The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord winked and said, "Isn't it true that the horoscopes naturally attract beautiful women, just like the beautiful woman's head you met when you were exorcising the evil tree and the plague tree."

"There are so many floating corpses crowded in this river. I just salvaged two of them, and they happened to be female corpses."

Without the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue causing trouble, Jin An continued to observe the two female corpses in front of him. There was no evil aura, no evil aura, and no evil aura or resentment or obsession. They were just ordinary floating corpses. The three souls and seven souls had long since disappeared, leaving only empty shells.

"The problem lies here. Since it is an ordinary floating corpse with no evil spirit, no evil spirit, and no evil spirit and resentment, and it has drifted along the water for a long time, it stands to reason that the ordinary floating corpse has already decayed, but these floating corpses But there wasn’t even a trace of decay, just swelling from being soaked for a long time.”

After all, Jin An is the commander of the Criminal Investigation Department and is a professional with a specialization in the art. Others were also attracted by Jin An's autopsy conclusion and gathered around.

Master Qing Xi just glanced here and continued to study the female corpse with Taoist Qingfeng and Taoist Zhanmu.

"But what did you find?" Qing Xi came over.

Later, Jin An pointed to the two female corpses on the ground and explained to Qing Xi: "The mouths and noses of these two corpses contain sediment, but their esophagus is clean and there is no water in their abdomens. I infer that they fell into the water after they died. After floating for a long time, it is inevitable that some sediment will wash into the mouth and nose.”

Jin An glared with a strong warning. This was to warn the evil god not to fall into his hands alone.

The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Master floated behind Qing Xi, winking at Jin An.

"Based on your autopsy results, fellow Taoist Jin'an, do you have any suggestions?" Taoist Zhanmu asked.

Taoist Qingfeng nodded and said, "Young Taoist from Jin'an, although you can speak freely, you are specialized in magic. We are good at using talismans to exorcise demons, but when it comes to autopsy, you are better than us combined."

Jin An thought for a moment and said, "I think we can make full use of these floating corpses."

"Oh, how to use the law?" Everyone's eyes lit up, and their interest was aroused by Jin An's words.

Jin An: "Since these floating corpses are neither Yin corpses, evil corpses, straight corpses, alien corpses, or zombies, there is no possibility of them being fake corpses. We can take these floating corpses and drift along the river. I checked the direction and found that the downstream of this river is towards the northeast. It's flowing, just on its way."

"Aren't we worried that walking in the meadows and swamps for a long time will greatly damage Yang Fire and Yang Shou? Riding these floating corpses down the river can solve this worry and save a lot of energy and time. Floating down the river Traveling is much faster than traveling with legs.”

"Ok?"

"What do fellow Taoists from Jin'an mean, that we use these floating corpses in the river as bamboo rafts to ride on?"

Fellow Taoist Zhanmu and Taoist Qingfeng looked at each other: "This idea, fellow Taoist Jin'an, is quite novel."

Qingfeng Taoist strongly agreed: "But it is undeniable that it is indeed very feasible."

Jin An added: "To be more precise, it is equivalent to a sheepskin raft."

Taoist Zhanmu looked at the others and asked for their opinions.

Taoist Zhanmu did not refuse immediately, but instead consulted the team's opinions first, indicating that even Taoist Zhanmu was moved by Jin'an's proposal.

After hearing that it would save some effort and not have to travel in person, the team unanimously agreed to Jin An's proposal.

Hahaha, Taoist Zhanmu twisted his beard and laughed, saying that this was really an unprecedented novel experience. Who would have thought of traveling on a floating corpse? Only the brave, careful and resourceful little Taoist friend Jin'an could come up with such a wonderful idea. Think of ideas.

Including Master Zunzhu, everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.

So next, everyone's souls left their bodies, lifted up their physical bodies, and flew down to the floating corpses in the river one by one.

Because there were so many floating corpses and they were densely crowded on the river, their small number fell on the floating corpses. These floating corpses were not even pressed down by a drop of water, and they were smoother than riding on a boat, as if they were walking on flat ground.

However, the dead are still a bit shabby after all, so everyone chose a place with many corpses and sat cross-legged, so that they would not have to face the swollen dead faces and pairs of gray and white eyes that stared at death all the time.

Finally, we found a place to stay. We no longer had to rush through the freezing cold swamp meadows, and the atmosphere in the team became much more relaxed.

The group of people from Tianshi Mansion who were riding on the back of Luban Wooden Kite and flying in the sky saw this situation. After hesitating for a while, they also started to pick a floating corpse with many corpses on its back and landed on it, and put away Luban Wooden Kite.

Since there is an easy way to travel, no one will refuse. After all, traveling in the sky has too big a goal and can easily lead to unknown disasters. Moreover, with the corpse aura of so many floating corpses, it can also cover up the aura of living people and reduce the risk of exposure.

As mentioned before, no one will choose to rush on the road in fear if they can go easily.

Traveling on a corpse is indeed a novel experience. Fortunately, there are enough floating corpses and it is stable and does not shake. It is much more stable than riding a boat. There is a possibility of seasickness in a boat, but no one has symptoms of corpse sickness while riding a corpse.

call--

call--

There is a lot of humidity and temperature difference along the river. From time to time, a black whirlwind with a complex and turbid smell blows through the swamp meadow, overwhelming a large piece of meadow and exposing puddles.

Some puddles only have a shallow layer, while others are bottomless man-eating swamps. You can imagine how dangerous it is for people to travel in such an environment.

Although the people who entered the Taoist Yellow Courtyard this time were all masters in the world of cultivation, either in the middle or late stages of the Three Realms, they were not afraid of these swamps.

But you must know that this is the Taoist Yellow Courtyard, the world of visualization and obsession after the death of the real immortal, known as the little underworld. Moreover, the water and cold moisture here can cause damage to the body's Yang Fire, Yuanshen, Qi, and Spirit, so that everyone acts cautiously and does not dare to let their spiritual consciousness go too far to explore the way. The further away the spiritual consciousness is from the body, the greater the consumption. , so this further leads to the difficulty and danger of traveling in this environment.

Since riding a corpse instead of rushing on the road, the Thousand-Eyed Daojun Statue has been quiet all the way, and has not been distracted by so many floating corpses or cut out its eyes.

According to the evil god's original words, if you repay kindness with kindness, you are still a human being.

As a principled evil god, the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue once again impressed Taoist Zhanmu and others.

The patter--

"Hey, why is it raining?"

The cold raindrops hit their faces. The team was surprised at first and then looked solemn.

Because these raindrops are also bitingly cold, just like the swamp meadow, they will extinguish the human yang fire and steal the yang life bit by bit.

"Why do I feel that this swamp meadow area has its own consciousness just like people? We found corpses to replace our way, and it started to rain ice from the sky. They treated us as prey and would not let go of us."

"When you said that, I felt a shiver run down my back."

"The huge swamp meadow in the area really has its own consciousness. Could it be that we have stepped into an unknown ghost?"

Upon hearing about ghosts, everyone present had different expressions.

The memory of Jin'an Shichang County comes to mind.

Qing Xi, who had a cold expression all the way, seemed to have suddenly become interested in the swamp meadow in front of her. She looked back and forth with her clear eyes, wondering if the word "Gui Xie" reminded her of some memories of her unexpected visit to Gui Xie in Chang County a few months ago.

Master Zunzhu is holding Buddhist beads and chanting Buddhist scriptures softly. There are also ghosts in the snow-capped mountains of the plateau. It is called one of the entrances to hell in epic legends. It is the place where Master Zunzhu’s terrible family has guarded the seal for generations.

Taoist Zhanmu's eyes were thoughtful, and he suddenly asked Jin'an: "Fellow Taoist Jin'an, I heard that you accidentally entered the Guixiao in Chang County last year and walked out safely. Everyone is curious about what you experienced in the Guixiao in Chang County. How did you finally leave Guixie in Chang County safely?"

Taoist Qingfeng also pondered at this time: "The ghosts in Chang County are also a relatively well-known forbidden area for strangers. Many masters went to exorcise the demons, but in the end they all failed and even got involved themselves. There was no return. .Zhenguo Temple can only choose to seal it to prevent any more living people from accidentally entering this ghost town."

Talking about Jin'an and Changxian Guixi, more people became interested. Elder Jinque of Yujing answered: "When Jin'an Taoist priest was in Changxian Guixi last year, he probably hadn't been to Wuzhou Prefecture yet, and he hadn't met Lin Youdao yet. When we met, he had not yet taken over the Five Zang Taoist Temple to become the temple master, and he had not yet become a disciple of the Zhengyi Dao... At that time, Taoist Jin'an was probably still a martial arts person who had just entered the world, and his cultivation level was not high yet?"

Facing everyone's questions, Jin An looked back and recalled with emotion: "There is love in the world, and the spring is cold and warm. The human heart knows itself, and does not ask about the west or the east."

When the Tianshi Mansion heard the word "Gui Xie", everyone looked alert and on guard to prevent any sudden disaster.

These are masters in the world of cultivation and will not underestimate the danger of ghosts.

Cold rain was still falling from the sky, but fortunately the team left the swamp meadow. As long as they were not in direct contact with the water, they could use their magic weapon to protect themselves from the wind and rain.

So the rain had no impact on the team.

Fluttering——

Fluttering——

The black whirlwind rose again, overwhelming the meadows. At first it was nothing, but soon it was discovered that something was wrong. The fallen meadows were shaking violently, as if something was hiding under the meadows and moving rapidly.

This scene immediately aroused everyone's alarm.

Everyone, including Jin An, stood up and stared warily at the meadow on the river bank.

call!

A black shadow suddenly jumped out from under the meadow. It was an ugly ghost with a bloody mouth and fangs. Its skin was as cracked as burnt wood, and its flesh and bones were exposed.

"This is the water-eating ghost from the thirty-six ghost realms!" An elder from Yujing Jinque recognized the origin of the ghost.

Water-eating ghosts, shaped like charred wood, are forever tormented by hunger and thirst. They can only feed on water, but their hunger and thirst cannot be quenched. If you sell fake wine mixed with water to deceive people, do business without integrity, and do not cultivate merit, you will receive evil retribution after death and enter the water path among the thirty-six evil ghost paths.

There is an essential difference between water-eating channels and water ghosts.

One feeds on water and often appears in ditches or waterside.

One is a person who fell into the water and drowned. Three souls and seven souls were trapped in the river, unable to go ashore and reincarnated, thus becoming a lonely ghost.

The former is more harmful than the latter.

Because the former has hard-to-fill desires and can never be satisfied with greed, while the latter only needs to drag a person into the water to get the chance to come ashore and be reincarnated.

Fluttering——

Then more water-eating ghosts jumped out of the meadow. These evil ghosts stood on the river bank, staring greedily at the floating corpses floating down. Instead, they turned a blind eye to Jin An and the others who were riding on the corpses.

At a rough count, there are thousands of water ghosts lining the river bank alone.

The environment of the swamp meadow is indeed very suitable for these water ghosts to survive, but it is still surprising to see so many water ghosts gathering at once.

An elder from Yujing Jinque said in surprise: "Why do these water-eating ghosts look different from ordinary water-eating ghosts? Although they all live in waters, they show an unusual desire for these floating corpses?"
