Holy Bone

Chapter 760
Underworld.

The three of them, a boat and a soul lamp, drifted silently in the river.

Calculated according to the time, it has been several days since they left the cave of the ancient magician, but the yin and yang are separated, the underworld is several days, and the night of the yang has not passed.

In the past few days, they found a few more wild temples, but they were all empty temples, or wild temples without incense and worship in the underworld.

In addition to offering tens of thousands of Yin virtues, Jin An and the old Taoist still have no way to return to Yang.

The old Taoist gnawed on the dry food in his hand, and sat on the bow of the boat with a sad face: "Little brother, shouldn't we just drift out of the boundary of Jiangzhou Prefecture?"

Thanks to the fact that they brought a lot of dry food with them when they came to Fenghuang Town all the way, they can save some food for a few days, and they can deal with it for a while.

But as the dry food bag dries up day by day, they can't get out of the underworld, and they will become the first unlucky people who starve to death in the underworld in thousands of years.

Thinking that he was going to be a starving ghost, the old Taoist felt even more melancholy. If that time really came, he might as well find a hundred-year-old corpse and bury him in the belly of the corpse to get relief.

Anyway, he can accept any method of death except starvation!Because it's too bad to die!
Ever since "Black Mountain Magic" made great progress, his physique improved, he learned to swallow gold fossils, and became supernatural, Jin An felt that such a life was quite comfortable and leisurely. He took out those jade slips to study pills when he was free, and he could eat a few when he was hungry. A roadside stone temporarily satiates the hunger.Moreover, with his current Dao Qi cultivation base, he can also temporarily eat Qi and Bigu.

Speaking of this jade slip, one has to mention the dozens of jade slips that he obtained by using the technique of searching for things.

These jade slips collected several pharmacopoeias and alchemy books for him, which recorded the ancient alchemist's alchemy experience, pharmacological experience, and medicinal garden care experience.

These jade slips are different from those Dan Fang jade slips. Jin An speculates that the large army should have obtained them from the cauldron and gossip alchemy furnace. Some of the corpse puppets and fox immortals were in charge of planting and collecting medicines, and some were in charge of alchemy and watching the furnace.

"One day in the sky, the world is ten years old, and Qing Yun is long. The law of time in the underworld is slower than that in the underworld. Why don't I see someone using the time in the underworld to practice? Isn't that a rapid progress?" The study of the jade slips these days has gained a lot , After looking at the jade slips for several days in a row, it takes some time to digest slowly. Jin An knows the truth of chewing more than one can chew. cemetery or temple.

Before Daoist Qingyun could answer, the old Taoist who was bored had already answered: "This is the underworld, no one dares to stay in the underworld for a long time, for fear that the yin energy will enter the body and kill them."

"That's exactly the reason." Master Qingyun nodded.

……

Then the boat drifted along the river for about half a day, when a small hill appeared in front of them, and green smoke curled up from the hill, and the old Taoist stood up in surprise.

"Here are living beings burning incense and candles to worship!"

As soon as the boat docked, the old Taoist jumped ashore impatiently and approached in the direction of Qingyan.

As a result, it was empty, with neither tombs nor temples, only an old tree, and the old Taoist was stunned, a little at a loss.

According to his original idea, if this is a tomb, they would dig up the tomb and lie in it, and then return to the world.

If this is a wild temple, then kill the wild gods, eliminate harm for the people, and then replace the gods and return to the world.

But I didn't expect it to be empty?

It can't be said to be empty, there is still an old tree on the top of the hill.

"Could it be that someone hanged himself here, so relatives burn incense and candles here to worship the dead? Well, if we want to return to the world, do we have to take off our belts and hang ourselves on a tree?"

Jin'an and Master Qingyun looked at the old Taoist priest in shock.

A few black lines hung down Jin An's forehead: "If you want to hang the old Taoist priest, hang yourself, don't take me."

"It's obviously not this tree that the living people worship, but the spiritual tablet placed next to the big tree." Jin An finally pointed to a location.

Sure enough, there is a spiritual place standing there, but the difference between the spiritual place and the big tree is too big, so it is easy to ignore it at a glance.

"It seems that the day of farewell to Daoist Jin'an and Daoist Chen has come, so I will use the soul-inducing lamp in my hand to open the Yin-Yang passage and help the two return to the world of heaven." Master Qingyun nodded and smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyun, you must come to the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera in Jiangzhou Mansion to find us, the old Taoist." The old Taoist held the hand of Master Qingyun reluctantly as they were about to part.

"Daoist Qingyun, please accept this five-thunder evil slashing talisman for your body protection, thank you Qingyun for sending us all the way, the journey back must be long and dangerous, this five-thunder evil slashing talisman will protect Daoist Qingyun for me and the old Taoist priest Only then can you walk with peace of mind." Jin An generously handed out a five-thunder evil talisman.

This is the Five Thunder Slashing Evil Talisman granted five times by Zhang.

Equivalent to fifteen thousand yin virtues.

Although the Yin virtues are precious, the fifteen thousand Yin virtues are insignificant compared to his many gains in the underworld.

Daoist Qingyun sent them so far selflessly, so he can't be too selfish, come and go without being indecent.

As a cultivator, Master Qingyun saw at a glance that the Five Thunder Slaying Evil Talisman was extraordinary, so he didn't dare to accept such an expensive gift, and Jin An forced it to him in the end.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyun, please accept it. My little brother is best to make friends with like-minded people in the world. When you come to Wuzang Taoist Temple, I will invite you to cook mutton hot pot." people.

Master Qingyun sent Jin'an and the old Taoist priest back to the world smoothly. He repeatedly recited the names of the dead on the spiritual tablet. The soul-inducing lamp temporarily opened a yin-yang passage, and successfully sent the two back to the yang world.

……

The night wind carried a bit of the sultry heat of early summer.

sun room.

Zhang Houcai, a slightly drunk scholar holding a wine jar, guarding the brazier and joss sticks, whining loudly, looked at an old Taoist priest who almost fell from the tree. When the Taoist priest was about to hit the ground on his face, the other hand protruding from the tree branch grabbed the waistband of his trousers.

Then a young Taoist priest jumped down from the tree.

"Could it be that I'm hallucinating when I'm drunk?" Zhang Houcai slapped himself a few times.

"Brother, what is this place? Why are you here alone drinking to relieve your sorrow?" The young Taoist said politely after bowing.

Zhang Houcai looked at the two Taoist priests in front of him in disbelief, and raised his finger with a hint of alcohol to point to a distant direction: "This is the nameless green hill twenty miles away from Houchi Village, Yin County. There is a home but nowhere to go. Wanderers can't go home. The old mother sweeps the grave and offers incense, and once again sees the old mother, the two priests, how can I live with peace of mind?"

"Houchi Village? Why does this place sound familiar..."

The old Taoist didn't think for long, and slapped his thigh and shouted: "Little brother, isn't this Houchi village the small fishing village where many shipwreck corpses washed up last year, and Yuyangzi once carried the corpses? I didn't expect us to go so far! In the underworld After so many twists and turns, I finally returned to the starting point when I first arrived in Jiangzhou Prefecture!"

"Hell? Are you dead?" The scholar stared at the Taoist in front of him with his slightly drunk eyes.

"If you are really dead in the underworld, can you take me to see my mother again?"

Since a large number of people were killed in a shipwreck in Houchi Village, in order to prevent the outbreak of the plague, the local government has relocated the villagers of the entire fishing village, and sent Xiangyong and guards to block the roads to prevent outsiders from approaching Houchi Village.

That's why the scholar Zhang Hou couldn't visit the old mother's grave, so he could only hide in the desolate hills tens of miles away to pay homage to the old mother, and drink away the nostalgia of the wanderer.

"What's so difficult about this? Since you and I have a good relationship, we are destined to meet each other. Tonight I will bring up a filial son to fulfill my wish." Jin An laughed heartily and sang a good word.
