Holy Bone

In the mist, there was a faint fire flickering on and off.

Just like a small boat in the vast ocean, so small and insignificant, it seems that it will be smashed by the torrent at any time.

After getting closer, I saw clearly that it was an dug-out loess tomb.

"Hey, are there grave robbers here too?"

"It may not be the graves dug up by tomb robbers, it may also be the vampires and flesh-eating ghosts in the thirty-six evil ghost realms. These evil ghosts are like the wild dogs that dig up graves in mass graves and eat human flesh. Their eyes turn green from hunger. If they can’t find anything to eat, they will dig up graves and eat the dead to satisfy their hunger.”

"It's strange. There is an dug grave here, and there is a lantern, but there is no one digging the grave."

Indeed, the wilderness was empty. Except for the weather-beaten old paper lantern that was fluttering feebly in the wind, there was not a single soul around.

Without Jin An's instructions, the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord had already flown into the sky, searching the surroundings with his clairaudience.

The results were not optimistic. Not to mention tomb robbers, not even a ghost was seen nearby.

Jin An hugged the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord and jumped out of the running carriage: "Seniors, let's move on. I'll check what's going on, and then I'll catch up with the team."

"Little Taoist friend Jin'an, be careful." Taoist Zhanmu was concerned.

Just as Jin An was about to turn around and run towards the dug-out grave, there was a sound of wind behind him, and it was Master Qing Xi who also got off the carriage.

Master Qing Xi's soul left his body, lifted his body, and flew towards him in the air.

Also coming together were the great elder and the great leader who were worried about the shepherd Jin'an.

"The Martial Arts Corpse Immortal is Fairy Qingxi. I'm worried that you have found her. Fairy Qingxi is cold-faced and warm-hearted, but she is quite caring." The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Master secretly transmitted his message with his spiritual consciousness.

As a result, alas, the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord statue threw its head back and let out a cry of pain.

This was another shot in the head by Master Qing Xi.

The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord was so shocked that half of the Thousand Eyes were half big and half small, and he exclaimed: "Fairy Qingxi, can you hear the transmission of our spiritual consciousness?"

Master Qingxi didn't answer. After flying close to Jin'an, he just said two words: "Together."

Jin An answered with a smile.

The statue of Qianyan Daojun followed and complained all the way: "Martial Arts Corpse Immortal, have you known for a long time that Fairy Qingxi's Yuan Shen is powerful, and her cultivation is not limited to the late third realm, right? You have already known about our spiritual consciousness transmission. You can’t hide it from Fairy Qingxi, right? No wonder you didn’t answer me just now and deliberately framed me in front of Fairy Qingxi!”

Jin An gave you a look of understanding and did not answer. In just a moment, they had arrived at the dug-out grave.

As soon as they arrived, they noticed that the soil in the tomb was newly dug, and they saw a lot of new soil and clear traces.

This detail immediately attracted attention.

Jin An frowned slightly: "There is no one around the newly dug grave. It seems that our arrival has attracted attention."

Master Qing Xi offered a yellow talisman and folded it into a paper crane. After she passed a wave of Dao Qi and added some light, the yellow talisman paper crane flew away with spiritual wings and informed Taoist Zhanmu and the others about the situation here. Tell them to be more careful.

Several people took this scene in their eyes, understood it by heart, and then continued to search for clues in the grave.

Under the dim candlelight of the old lantern, Jin An and the others found several shoe prints in the grave. "There are shoe prints, indicating that the tomb robber is a corpse rather than a ghost. There is reality but not fiction. It does not rule out that he is a possessed ghost."

Jin An analyzed them one by one: "The shoe prints here have only found one size for the time being. This clue is good news for the time being. The other party is a lone traveler."

The coffin in the grave was pried open, and the body inside was missing. The only burial object was a mat, not even a bed and quilt.

The funeral was shabby, and the grave had to be dug up after death. The owner of this tomb was really unlucky.

Just as Jin An was sighing, Master Qing Xi made a new discovery: "Look here."

Looking in the direction of the finger, several people in Jin'an let out a cry of surprise. At the top of the coffin board lying aside, there were pry marks of cracked wood and a shallow mark of a dusty palm.

But these are not the key. Jin An discovered at a glance that the palm print actually had seven fingers, which was different from ordinary people.

"Seven-fingered tomb robber?" Jin An was surprised.

Several people summarized the clues they found. First, the tomb was newly robbed. Second, there was only one tomb robber and he was a male. Third, the tomb robber might be a corpse rather than a ghost. Fourth, the tomb robber’s One of the palms has seven fingers, and most importantly, their whereabouts may have been exposed.

After another search, no new clues were found. Because they were worried that the headless pottery horses would wander away, the few of them did not stay any longer and set off on the road again to meet up with Taoist Zhanmu and the others.

Before leaving, Jin An took away the old lantern.

Not long after they set out on the road, the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord suddenly reminded everyone: "Martial Arts Corpse Immortal, the spiritual eyes of this Dao Lord left on the carriage have seen a new situation!"

"The headless pottery horse pulling the bronze coffin is running over an eye-catching white tiger Taoist. The white tiger Taoist's tiger tail is a Taoist. Hey, are we meeting our old master? The white tiger Taoist's bloody mouth There is a dead man in his mouth, and he is being driven by a coffin truck!"

Hearing this, Jin An and Qing Xi looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They were both surprised at the strangeness of the White Tiger Taoist, and also surprised that the White Tiger Taoist was a tomb robber, right? Several people decisively ran away at full speed to catch up with the coffin truck.

"Thousand-Eyed Taoist Master, look at how many fingers there are on the tail end of the White Tiger Taoist Master." Jin An said with a slightly condensed expression.

The Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue said without hesitation: "No need to look, one of the palms has seven fingers. The seven-fingered Taoist on the tail of White Tiger Taoist is the person you are looking for!"

Although he had expected it in his heart, when it was confirmed with his own ears, Jin An's eyes darkened. Who would have thought that the tomb robber would be the tail of a white tiger Taoist.

If it weren't for the reminder from the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord Statue, they probably wouldn't have thought of this result.

This Taoist White Tiger is mysterious and strange, and his strength cannot be underestimated.

"It seems that the shoe prints and palm prints in the grave are all deliberately used as a cover-up by Taoist White Tiger to deliberately induce us to investigate in the wrong direction."

Jin An snorted coldly; "First there was the Lady in Black, and then there was the Taoist Lord White Tiger. The evil gods in this little underworld are all cunning, dangerous, and full of tricks."

"It seems that the person buried in the bronze coffin is the sun that fell in the dark hell. He is our friend but not our enemy." The great leader of the Zhengyuan Shen lifted his body and flew into the air, said solemnly.

When Jin'an and his party caught up with the coffin truck, they happened to see Taoist White Tiger being overtaken by the coffin truck. Even though Taoist White Tiger was as big as a hill, he was still knocked out and plowed deep holes in the loess. moat.

The bronze coffin on the chariot is so huge and heavy that no ghost or god can bear its immense weight.

This scene made Jin An and the others, who had just arrived, feel their hearts beat heavily.
