Holy Bone

Chapter 325
The way the middle-aged man died was quite sinister.

More than half of the chest cavity still has flesh and robes.

In other parts, only white bones remained.

Essence of flesh and robes were missing.

It was even cleaner than the bones of Pao Ding's carcass.

After searching all over his body, he couldn't find a seal or customs clearance documents that could prove his identity, only the fine steel sword with retro pattern in his hand.

And a simple pendant made of red string, and a fragment of the Luogeng jade plate worn around the neck.

Jin'an found a place to bury the other party, so as not to end up in the wilderness after death. By the way, he erected a tombstone without words, and he brought the steel sword and the fragments of Luo Geng's jade plate as reward, his eyes sparkled Hurry in the direction of Xiao Hanba crying last night.

That fine steel sword is also a divine treasure.

Moreover, it is also the rarest weapon divine treasure.

The middle-aged man who died strangely in the night sky was definitely a strong man with great abilities.

In the direction of that little Hanba crying, there must be a great fairy fate appearing!

Otherwise, how could it attract so many masters!

The most important thing is that it seems that the direction where Senior Gu's body left is also there. There is an undercurrent surging here.

……

The rain only stopped in the middle of the night, and the dark clouds overhead began to rain again.

With a sack on his back and a steel sword strapped to his mouth, Jin An was thinking about the future while he was driving in the rainy sky.

The ruins are huge, but not everywhere you can go. There are many dangerous and forbidden places in the ruins, such as the temple that suppresses the big demons that can eat people, and the huge human hands in the Tongtian Mountain, the ancient body predecessors, the black and white ancient city, Strange corpses... These are taboos.But these are not what he cares about the most. What he is worried about is, how will these people get out of the ruins and return to the outside world?

I don’t know if it’s because the little Hanba made too much noise, awakening many ancient taboos in the ruins that are immortal after death. Jin’an was on the road for a day. There was the sound of iron chains and shackles.

A dead man with thick iron chains shackles all over his body, dragging a heavy golden dragon coffin behind him in the rainy night, he is like a walking corpse, walking aimlessly.

Iron chains wrapped around the golden dragon coffin, dragging the coffin forward in the rainy night. The golden dragon coffin was sealed, and no one knew who was buried there. The golden coffin was shining golden in the dark, dazzling like a ball of divine light illuminating one side in the dark night. world.

Where the golden dragon coffin was dragged, the touchstone turned into gold, and the rubble on the ruins, the ruined walls, turned into dazzling gold in an instant.

It was gold that was real gold and silver, so bright and dazzling that it made people jaw-dropping.

According to legend, there was an ancient immortal who could turn a stone into gold.

Immortals can turn stones on the roadside into gold with a little lift of their fingers, which drives people crazy, and everyone is eager to learn this Taoism.

Unexpectedly, the touchstone in fairy tales really exists in the ruins.

Who is buried in the golden dragon coffin?
Could it really be the corpse of an ancient saint in a Taoist holy place?

Even after so many years of death, the place where the coffin passes can turn stones into gold, create a golden kingdom of God, and reproduce the holy land on earth...

It's just that those golden stones quickly faded away under the torrential rain, and turned back to dusty ordinary stones again.

Not long after the dead man dragged the coffin away, there was a new movement in the rainy night!

crackling.

It was the sound of flames burning, but the sound did not come from outside the temple, but from inside the temple where Jin An was.

Startled.

Jin An, who was standing at the entrance of the temple watching the golden dragon coffin go away, turned around in horror and looked behind him, only to see an old Taoist with a rickety back, who appeared in the open space behind Jin An at some point, covered in blood, and was feeding Burnt paper in place of the empty statue.

Brazier.

yellow paper.

incense.

The old Taoist appeared out of thin air. While burning paper for the empty place of the god statue, he was crying and speaking words that Jin An couldn't understand.

That's an older language.

Not the words of recent dynasties.

There is a desolate sorrow in the crying, and the sorrow permeates the world, covering all the voices. In the vast world, only the temple is like a faint candle in the endless darkness, swaying in the dark rainy night, like To be extinguished at any time.

This is a very strange picture.

Suddenly, an extra person appeared in the empty palace.

Still burning paper for the location of the statue.

It's like passing by a cemetery in the middle of the night, but suddenly saw someone squatting on the side of the road burning paper for the dead to put on the grave!

This should be eerie and creepy!

But not only is there no gloomy atmosphere in the temple.

On the contrary, the ever-burning lamps and candles in the temple became brighter.

bright.

Bright.

above board.

Eternal lamps illuminate all corners of the temple.

The Great Dao has no form, but it gives birth to the heaven and the earth;Husband and Taoist: There is clearness and turbidity, there is movement and stillness; the sky is clear and the earth is turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is still...

The majestic divinity in the temple is calming the soul, clearing the mind and mirroring the mirror, the altar is as clean as a mirror, and the mind is calm and natural.

This grand divinity is too majestic.

The old Taoist is still crying and burning paper for the empty space of the statue.

God dies, burn paper.

……

Jin An didn't know when he fell asleep.

He hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time, with peace of mind.

When a person wakes up, he feels refreshed and vigorous.

Since being drawn into the ruins by the spirit mist, the energy and spirit that had never slept peacefully had returned to their peak state.

Hunger disappears.

Thirst goes away.

Tiredness goes away.

Anxiety disappeared.

He has never had such a comfortable sleep in his life, all the pores in his body are smooth, his vitality is fuller than ever before, and his whole body is warm, as if he had eaten the ginseng fruit of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan.

Only then did he realize that the world outside the temple was just lit up, and the old Taoist, brazier, and paper money that appeared in the temple last night out of thin air were gone, and there were no traces of burning paper worship left on the ground.

The position of the statue is still empty.

The temple is still ancient and clumsy.

dilapidated.

Desolate, silent.

But that eternal lamp was contaminated with more divinity, and the flame was a little stronger than last night.

"Did God burn paper?"

Although he didn't see the face of the old Taoist who cried bitterly that the god was dead, there was still a trace of sadness and endless loneliness in his heart.

Jin An, refreshed after a good night's sleep, bowed solemnly to the vacant seat of the statue, and then continued on his way at dawn.

……

It has been ten days since the old Taoist priest was dragged into the ruins by the spirit mist.

Thanks to the Taiji gossip bag he was carrying with him, there were still a lot of talisman paper and cinnabar, which allowed him to draw a few pieces of Erlang Zhenjun's water talisman, which made him survive the first few days of the ruins, and he was lucky enough to find it in one place. Divine treasure, and a small fruit tree.

It was because of that small fruit tree that the old Taoist was able to survive so many days in the ruins where there was no food or drink.

And all the way chasing the direction of the purple air in the sky.

He felt that if Jin An and Jianjian were also drawn into the blessed land of the cave by the strange fog, they must have seen the cloud of purple energy coming from the east.

As long as he follows the direction of Ziqi.

He will definitely meet Jin An and Qi Jian again.

As for the old Taoist, several days passed in such a hurry in the ruins. Seeing that the fruit offered to him by the small fruit tree was about to run out, the old Taoist began to feel a little anxious.

"Mother, there is only the last fruit left. If I can't find anything to eat, I will switch to cloth shoes to satisfy my hunger."

While rushing through the devastated ruins, the old Taoist looked down at the pair of Taoist shoes on his feet and was worried. When the time comes, if he really wants to eat cloth shoes to satisfy his hunger, which foot should he start with?
He held his hands above his head, which was a plaque with divine light, which shielded people from the wind and rain.

This plaque is obtained together with the fruit tree.

The old Taoist was lucky. On the cornerstone of the ruins of a temple, he found an open space protected by a plaque. A small fruit tree grew on the open space.

"Let's start with the left foot first." Finally, the old Taoist finally made up his mind. Didn't the ancestors always say that men are left and women are right? He can't mess with the rules set by his ancestors.

The old Taoist was having fun while suffering, killing the boring time on the road, and continued on the road panting.

"My mother, how high is this mountain? Why haven't you climbed over the top yet?"

He held a plaque above his head, but it was not easy to climb the mountain at all. The old Taoist was physically exhausted, and the more he climbed, the more tired he was panting.

When he finally climbed to the top and looked down, his mouth opened in surprise, it was Lin Zi!In this boundless sea of ​​ruins, he saw a lush forest!

The scene in front of him was like seeing an oasis in the desert. The old Taoist ran down the mountain happily because he saw a few peach trees outside the forest.

The old Taoist managed to get close to the forest, and he was so eloquent that he couldn't wait to pick some peaches to quench his thirst, but the old Taoist just approached the peach tree and threw some stones from the forest, making him howl.

Squeak!
A group of monkeys jumped out of the forest, grinning at the old Taoist priest and throwing stones to prevent the old Taoist priest from stealing their peaches.

The old Taoist was fled with his head in his arms when he was thrown by the stone.

But even so, he still stole a dozen or so peaches from the monkey despite his nose being bruised and swollen.

Then he had four peaches in his hand, three peaches in his bosom, another peach in his mouth, and three or four peaches stuffed into his Taiji gossip bag. He was chased by a group of fried monkeys, and ran away in embarrassment with his head in his arms.

"It's true that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. You are too unreasonable."

"Old Daoist, I just want a few peaches from you, and I don't want to pick all the peaches. There are so many peaches here, and you can't finish them anyway. It's a waste to keep them. It's better to have a few peaches from the old Daoist."

"If my little brother is here, let's see if you monkeys dare to call themselves kings."

The old Taoist was furious. He was chased and killed by the group of monkeys throwing stones all the way.

Amid the angry monkey cries, the old Taoist ran farther and farther.

……

The next day.

Relic ruins.

I don't know if the old Taoist brought good luck to Jin An last night. When Jin An suddenly saw a forest in the vast and endless ruins, he was stunned for a long time before he realized it.

After getting used to looking at the ruins with broken walls, I was not used to seeing a large green forest at first glance.

Jin An once suspected that there was also a mirage in the ruins?
There are mirages and oases in the desert, and he will not be surprised if any strange things happen in this ruins.

It wasn't until he got close that Jin An was finally convinced that it wasn't a mirage in front of him, but a real forest, because he saw peach trees bearing peaches in the forest, and several rows squatting on the branches, looking at him in a panic , a group of monkeys baring their teeth.

That distraught look was like he had just robbed them of peaches.

Jin An: "?"

……

……

During the Qingming Festival, there are many rains.

Pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.

Where is the restaurant.

The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.

When passing through the lush forests, along the way, birds and flowers are fragrant, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful.

It's just that the top of the head has been cloudy and rainy, lacking sunshine.

Not long after, a village with smoke from cooking appeared in front of it.

In a shed next to a melon field outside the village, a group of mud-legged men gathered around to shake dice and gamble, yelling loudly.

A little shepherd boy is holding a buffalo in his hand, and he is sitting on the back of the buffalo watching the scene with relish.

"Excuse me, what village is this?"

A villager passed by outside the village. He looked at the man who was addicted to gambling, and finally asked the shepherd boy who was sitting on the back of a bull to watch the excitement politely.

"Hezhuang."

The shepherd boy looked strangely at the stranger who was asking him the way, and replied.

It's a strange feeling.

The other party spoke the same old language as the old Taoist who died burning paper, but this time he could understand the content of the words, which made people feel strange and indescribable, and always felt that something was weird.

"Thanks, this peach is my reward for asking the way." The stranger who asked the way threw a peach to the shepherd boy.

Asking the way, the stranger waved at the shepherd boy, saying that it was getting late, and it would be dark soon, so go home early after grazing the cows, and don't worry your parents.

The shepherd boy was just about to speak, when among the group of gambling men, a young man in his 20s was red-eyed, and he cursed unconvinced: "Today I really got the idea back home, why do I always lose in betting! Ah Zhi, Didn't you say that a Taoist priest gave you a divination, saying that you are the reincarnation of the Toad Immortal, you come here and give the dice a breath of immortality for my cousin, and let me drive a leopard to kill everyone."

Amidst the ridicule of a group of men, the shepherd boy came to his cousin, held up the porcelain bowl with upper and lower lids, puffed up his cheeks and blew into the bowl forcefully, and then handed the porcelain bowl back to his cousin.

When the little shepherd boy reached out to take the bowl, he saw clearly that he had only four fingers on each hand, a total of eight fingers, two fingers short of ordinary people. He tried his best to puff up his cheeks and blow into the bowl The angry look really looks like a toad's face.

Soon after, there was an exclamation in the shed, and the dice really produced a leopard!God!
After Jin An asked the shepherd boy the way, he continued to walk towards the village. He faintly heard Immortal Toad, and breathed a few words. His eyes were thoughtful, and he continued to walk towards the village called Hezhuang in front of him. .
