Holy Bone

Chapter 727
"It is said that in ancient times there was a mythical story."

"The divine bird of the phoenix lives from death, and can be reborn in the fire to gain eternal life. If the rebirth fails, it will be reduced to ashes forever."

"Luofeng Mountain, Corpse Raising Pool, Nether Phosphorous Fire, if this is the place where the phoenix nirvana is, the place where death is born, then what is born here is not a beautiful bird but a creature that can bring endless disaster and pain to the world. Corpse Phoenix..."

The old Taoist looked at the corpses in the pool, shook his head and sighed, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

The two walked around the water pool in the oppressive and claustrophobic cave, wanting to see how wide the water pool is, and stretching out torches to shine on the green water surface from time to time, wanting to see the environment under the clear pool.

It's just that the pool is dark green and cloudy, and you can't see the bottom.

The old Taoist: "There is phosphorous fire in the water pool, which is in line with the legend of the phoenix's nirvana. Little brother, do you think the female corpse whose eyes were dotted will be reborn as a phoenix forever in the seepage pool?"

The corpse clan is also called the immortal clan, and it is reasonable to say that becoming a corpse phoenix will give you eternal life.

Jin An probed the cave with the Qi-watching technique and found that the corpse's aura was heavier in the depths of the cave, so he shook his head and replied, "She didn't rebirth in the water pool."

Unexpectedly, this underground space is quite wide. After walking for about a stick of incense, I didn't see the end. Instead, I reached the narrowest place on both sides of the pool. The water here is clear and has not been polluted by the carrion corpses outside.

Because the terrain here is relatively high, the water only reaches the ankles of people, forming a isolation zone.

slam-la-

The two stepped on the water and came to the opposite bank without any surprises or dangers. After walking for a while, the two were startled, and an ancient temple appeared in front of them.

The whole body of the ancient temple is made of blue stones, ancient and quiet. It has both the history and the chill of nine secluded songs. From this point of view, it is not a modern thing, at least it has a history of a thousand years.

"Little brother, something is wrong here!"

"Or... Fenghuang Town itself is not right! This ancient temple looks like a very old thing. It doesn't look like it was lived by a god, but it seems to be lived by some ghosts and snakes!"

The old Taoist reminded vigilantly.

Jin An nodded and continued to lead the way.

The lacquered wooden door of the ancient temple has lost its original color, only the old log color, half of the door has disappeared, the door is half open and half closed, and it is unknown what happened here, so it was abandoned.

Walking into the ancient temple along the gate, I found that the ancient temple is very large, and there is an open space in front of my eyes. On both sides of the mountain walls, there are carved five halls and four judges of the underworld, ten evil commanders such as the black and white faces of the bull head and the horse, etc. They are all famous ghosts among the people. .

Through the aisle, a hall appears in front of you.

"Hall of Life?"

"Strange ancient temple, strange name."

There are a few tall stone statues in the main hall. I can't tell what kind of ghosts and gods they enshrine, but they must be similar to the ghosts outside. They are all figures from the underworld.

Passing through the Hall of Life, I came across a Hall of Death. The Hall of Death has no doors, no windows, and no entrance or exit. Isn’t this just a coffin house, the old Taoist muttered.

Jin An looked at the Hall of Death in the coffin house in surprise: "Although it's been a long time, I still smell a strong smell of blood. It's not the smell of blood just died, but the smell of blood accumulated by many dead people that hasn't dissipated for many years. Few people."

The old Taoist showed a thoughtful look: "Some temples and ancient temples are used for both sacrifices and punishments. Could it be that this death hall is used to punish traitors or disobedient believers?"

"The reason why the coffin house without doors and windows is built is to restrain the souls, so that these people will never see the light of day and have no chance of reincarnation?"

After bypassing the Temple of the Dead, there is a group of buildings. Those buildings are like residential areas, with neat planning, but there is a big problem with the orientation of these buildings.

Jin'an: "The gate faces south, and the children and grandchildren are not cold; the gate faces west, making noise and crying. The orientation of these houses is very similar to those shady houses we saw in Wutou Village. The gate faces west, and it is not easy to see the sun. 360 is dark and humid for five days, the living are depressed and have bad luck, the dead are nostalgic, and this orientation is only used when building a yin house for the dead."

The old Taoist is no stranger to the matter of Wutou Village, he said in surprise: "This place is full of statues of gods and ghosts from all walks of life in the Underworld, the Hall of Life and Death, and the Yin House. Could it be that this was built with reference to the ghost city of Fengdu? "

Neither of them connected this place with Mr. Yuan of Wutou Village or the people of the northern grassland tribe. This kind of building method is not only known by Mr. Yuan and others, but also by many Fengshui masters, temple builders, and Luban disciples in Kangding. make.

Most importantly, the time is not right.

The history of this ancient temple in front of us is earlier than that of Mr. Yuan's ancestors, at least thousands of years old.

"Little brother, look over there! There seems to be a figure flashing past that room just now!" The old Taoist suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted softly.

Jin'an is a man of high art and boldness, he just pushed the door open and entered the room, but he just entered the room and dodged to avoid the things that hit his head, and the old Taoist priest who followed him into the room was not so lucky because his vision was blocked The reaction was a beat slower, and the forehead was hit by a heavy object on the top of the head with a bang, almost knocked over and fell to the ground.

The old Taoist rubbed his forehead and grinned in pain. There was another sound of breaking through the air above his head, and the thing hit him again. The old Taoist looked up and saw that it was kicked with two toes hanging in the air, which scared him away in a panic.

Those feet didn't hit the old Taoist priest, and continued to swing back and forth in the air. The old Taoist shone a torch, and his expression changed immediately!
There is a man hanging in this house!

The dead man's face was black and blue, his eyes were wide open, his black tongue was stuck out of his mouth, and his fingertips and shoe tips were powerlessly drooping towards the ground!

Just now Jin An moved too much into the house and bumped into the dead man, so he kept swaying back and forth in the air and bumped into the second old Taoist priest who entered the house.

The most peculiar thing is that the house and the dead person are covered with a thick layer of dust, and the person has not rotted for an unknown number of years.

"Mother! It's really a shady house for the dead!" Startled by this surprise, the old Taoist broke into a cold sweat.

Perhaps the old Taoist also felt that he was a little embarrassed by the surprise just now. He coughed dryly and then pretended to be calm and joked: "The owner of this house sleeps in a strange way. I don't know if he will have a stiff neck."

Then the two searched the house, but found nothing else, so they searched other buildings instead.

About one-fifth of these buildings were hung with dead people, and most of them were empty houses. Just when the two of them had no results, suddenly, in the dark underground environment, there was a faint candlelight flickering in the depths of the distant buildings. It moved, which immediately attracted the attention of Jin An and the old Taoist, and they chased after him.

It was a building with a closed door, and the candlelight shone through the window. The old Taoist asked Jin An in a low voice, what should I do, is he going straight to Huanglong?Or do you keep your eyes open and act according to the wind?
Jin An remained silent, looked up at the ceiling of the cave above his head, then turned his head to look at the mountain walls on both sides, and finally walked straight to the only building with candles lit.

Jin An didn't kick the door as soon as he came up, he looked menacing, he saluted first and then fought, knocked on the door first and saw no one answered, then pushed the door open and entered.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to push the door with his palm, someone behind the door seemed to push it hard, and he failed to push the door open for the first time.

Jin An snorted coldly, and pushed hard again with his palm. This time the door was violently pushed open by him, and he happened to see two people sitting in the room, the man on the left and the woman on the right, facing the door. Face to face with Jin An and the old Taoist standing at the door.

But they are not living people, but dead people. It looks like a pair of dead wives and dead husbands?
