Jin An quit and woke up.

It was surrounded by a dark and narrow space, and it was as if the body was stuck.

It was so quiet that there was no sound.

Jin An knew that he was still in the coffin, so he couldn't wait to push open the heavy coffin lid, wanting to tell the old Taoist priest and the old man the good news, huh?

I didn't know that the coffin lid didn't move at all.

Jin An tried to push the coffin lid again, but the result was still not moving.

Bang!

Bang!

What's going on?

What the hell is going on out there?

Jin An tried his best to smash the coffin lid, but the coffin lid still didn't move, and the cold hit the scalp, and the coffin lid was sealed from the outside world.

Rumble!

The lid of the coffin exploded and shattered, accompanied by a thick layer of loess pressed against the coffin.

The moment the coffin lid was smashed, there was a strong sunlight outside to dazzle Jin'an's eyes, and the white and dazzling eyes in front of him were dazzling, wasn't it night, how could it be daytime?

Jin An was dazzled by the sun in front of him, and before he could see the surrounding environment clearly, several frightened cries suddenly sounded around him.

"Ahh

"The corpse in the grave!"

"Help!"

Jin An, whose eyes had recovered a little, finally saw his surroundings clearly, and he saw several men and women running away in a panic crying for their fathers and mothers.

At his feet, he also overturned incense and candles and paper money used to worship the dead.

But at this time, Jin An had no time to care about those people, he sat up from the coffin with a sinking gaze, he was not in the house that was painted with Taoist scriptures by the old Tao, there were small earthen bags piled up in the open space around him, and those were small grave bags where the dead were buried.

No wonder it was difficult for him to push the lid of the coffin just now, and the white coffin he was lying in when he walked in the shade was actually buried alive!

Jin An looked at the strange scene in front of him, his eyes confused.

Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?

Why do I wake up after walking in the shadows, the whole world is turned upside down, I wake up from the grave, am I already dead?

And then I came back from the dead?

Jin An stood up from the graveyard in a daze, and he saw a village not far away, which was the layout of Xiba Village that he was familiar with.

And I also overlooked the familiar Yinyi River embankment.

But now Xiba Village has become a deserted village where people go to the empty village.

The village is in tatters, with collapsed roofs and broken walls, and overgrown with tall weeds, making it a veritable ghost village at night.

According to this desolate and dilapidated appearance, there has not been a person for at least ten years.

Underworld?

Sun?

At this time, all kinds of mixed thoughts came one after another, Jin An had a headache when he thought about it, and the confused look in his eyes became even thicker, who can tell me! What the hell is going on!

What about the old way?

What about silly sheep?

Why did I just wake up from the yin, but I became a vicissitudes of life, things are not people, am I really dead?

The sense of loneliness and absurdity that is unfamiliar to the whole world makes Jin Anxin feel uneasy and flustered, haven't I withdrawn from the shadows, but have been targeted by some yin, and have been trapped in the ghost wall-beating illusion and have not come out?

Thinking of this, Jin An's eyes immediately sank, and then sacrificed the six dings and six armor talismans on his body, at this time, he didn't care about what waste was not wasted, open!

However, the man has not become a burly soul six feet and six feet tall, he is still a normal human body, he has indeed returned from the underworld to the yang world, and Jin An's thinking has fallen into chaos.

In a daze, Jin An walked out of the coffin.

With the last glimmer of hope, he wanted to go into Xiba Village to find the disappeared people.

But at this moment, Jin An stepped on something at his feet, and when he looked down, he stepped on a bundle of bamboo slips in the coffin at his feet.

In addition to the bamboo slips, there are several other familiar things in the coffin.

A scroll of bamboo slips "The Secret Sutra of the Five Organs".

A thread-bound ancient book "Guangping Right Speaking Synaesthesia".

An epistle.

A disc.

There are words on the Taoist plate, the five visceral Taoist people, and the five visceral Taoist masters.

Jin An looked at the words on the road disk, his confused mind cleared up a little, he put away all the things in the coffin, and then his back was lonely, and he walked in the direction of Xiba Village in confusion and silence.

......

Jin An walked into the deserted Xiba Village and looked at the familiar layout of the village in front of him, but now it was ten rooms and ten empty.

Last night's bustling village has become now desolate, overgrown with weeds, and a veritable ghost village.

Is this a dream for ten years?

Or is it a person who dies in a coffin and comes back to life ten years later?

Jin An used the knife in his hand to clean up the tall weeds in the courtyard, then covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and walked into the dusty house.

There was a thick layer of dust on the floor of the house, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.

And there was no black coffin in the main hall of the house.

There are no white coffins either.

This is just the main hall furnished in the homes of ordinary people.

Next, Jin An walked silently through every corner of the house, and the windowsills, tables, and all the furniture in the house were covered with a thick layer of dust. There are also a lot of vines growing on the wall, and they are covered with dust, but there are no Taoist scriptures painted all over the walls.

Jin An, who did not give up, walked through all the empty houses in the entire Xiba Village, and none of the houses were painted with cinnabar scriptures on the walls, which directly ruled out the possibility that Jin An remembered the wrong address.

Before you know it......

Jin An walked to the embankment......

Because the embankment has been in disrepair for a long time and has not been managed by the government for a long time, it has already collapsed most of the section by floods over the years, and the embankment is covered with sediment and wild grasses and trees.

Whew, whew, whew-

The wind by the river was very strong, and it made Jin An's cheeks hurt.

Jin An silently operated the Black Mountain Gong Internal Qi in his body to resist the cold wind by the river.

"Black Mountain Gong", "Blood Knife Sutra", "Sixty Road Tablet Opening", "Five Organs Secret Sutra", the martial arts and Taoist mental methods of the rivers and lakes are still there.

The Tiger Evil Knife, the Six Ding Liujia Talisman, the Five Thunder Evil Talisman, and several items that were sealed by Yin De are still there.

This shows that everything that has happened in the past month or so is real, not just a dream.

"So what's the problem?"

"If the Six Ding Liujia Talisman and the Five Thunder Evil Charm are real, then the old Taoist priest is also a real person. ”

"If the concentric golden lock is real, then the murderous corpse in the white coffin is also real... I don't know if I am learning from Du Shi Niang to jump into the river angrily with the concentric golden lock, will the murderer in the white coffin really save me?"

Jin An stood on the loess and overgrown river embankment, looking at the surging Yinyi River under his feet, Jin An took a step and silently retracted.

Belch.

The water is a bit cool today.

Let's jump another day.

Sure enough, in the end, I carried everything alone, scumbag, Jin An silently resented the murderer in the white coffin that left the concentric golden lock, and finally left him behind.

"Dao, Dao Chief, are you going to jump into the river to find a short view?"

"Isn't it good to live a few decades in a lifetime?"

Suddenly, the cautious voices of several people came from behind.

Jin An was interrupted from his thoughts, he turned to look behind him, and saw that it was the few tomb sweepers who had been scared away by him before, and they went and returned, and they were hiding from a distance and looking at him with concern.

"You're not afraid of me?"

"I'm afraid. The people nodded honestly.

"Then do you think I'm a human being, or a corpse?"

This time, the people first argued a few words each, and then cautiously replied to Jin An: "Dao Chief, you should be a human being, because only people dare to stand under the sun and are not afraid of the sun." ”

Jin An was silent, and then looked blankly at the world in front of him: "Can I ask a question, how many years is it for Kangding to conquer virtue?"

A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows among the several people replied: "If you return to the Dao Chief, this year is the eleventh year of Zhengde. ”

"Eleven Years of Virtue......

"Eleven Years of Virtue......

Jin An muttered to himself at first.

Then he asked urgently: "Ten years ago, in the year of Zhengde, did a major event happen in Chang County, there was a green money willow in the Wenwu Temple of Chang County, which changed from a bronze blade to a brass leaf overnight?"

Who knows, in the face of Jin An's question, those people were all puzzled.

"Chang County has been dead for ten years, who still remembers such a long time. ”

"Changxian is a ghost town now, ten years ago there was a fire, the whole city was burned to death, and now no one dares to go near it. ”

Several people were talking about it.

Airplanes!

Jin An felt a roar in his head, and he was stunned on the spot, and then hurriedly asked what happened ten years ago?

But those people didn't know much about the details.

It can only be vaguely said that the demise of Chang County was caused by a terrible fire.

The fire burned the whole city, and the fire spread very quickly, whether it was the old and weak, women and children, the squires, merchants, or the officials of the yamen, no one escaped, and tens of thousands of people in the city were burned alive inside.

It was a human purgatory, and then the government said that it was worried that those corpses would break out of the plague, so they sealed the gate of Changxian County, so naturally no one knew what the specific situation was inside......

At this time, it was still the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, and he said while recalling: "Ten years ago, I heard my grandmother talk about it, because my grandmother was only half a day away from escaping the fire, so the memory is very deep. ”

"My grandmother went into the city during the day to participate in the Qingming Temple, but the next day, she learned that Chang County was burned down by a fire, and the government came to ask the surrounding villages to move out quickly, saying that there were so many corpses that there was no place to bury them, and they were worried that there would be an outbreak of plague. ”

"Although Xiba Village is forty miles away from Chang County, the government says that Xiba Village is safe, but everyone is very afraid of dying so many people, and if there is a real outbreak of the plague, it will definitely affect here, so they will move dozens of miles away with other villages. ”

The man continued to reminisce, and Jin An gradually learned more details.

According to this person, the day of the fire in Chang County, like today, was the Qingming season, and that day was the Qingming temple fair.

Qingming temple fair is the most lively important festival in Chang County in a year, the villages near Chang County, as well as foreign tourists, naturally there are many people who go to Chang County to participate in the Qingming temple fair, to see the millennium Shenmu Qingqian Liu.

And this man's grandmother, on the day of Qingming ten years ago, sat in the ox cart that went into the village to participate in the temple fair to catch the fair, and was fortunate to see the green money willow of the thousand-year-old sacred tree.

Next to the incense box next to the green money willow, there are also people who are responsible for introducing the origin of the Wenwu Temple and the green money willow, such as saying that the construction of the Wenwu Temple is from the memory of a high-spirited Confucian who expelled foreign invasions and died on the battlefield.

"Let me tell you, there was a Taoist priest in line behind my grandmother at that time, but after my grandmother took the car to drive the ox cart back to the village, she kept scolding the Taoist priest, saying that the Taoist priest spoke ugly, and actually scolded the great Confucian who came out of our Chang County in front of Qingqian Liu for being a thief who was greedy for life and afraid of death, betrayed the country for glory, and deceived the world and stealing fame. ”

"The Taoist priest didn't speak loudly, and a few people near my grandmother happened to hear it, but my grandmother was timid and afraid of things, and she didn't dare to offend the Taoist priest, and later she only dared to talk to our family after returning home. ”

That night, Chang County was engulfed in a fire, and no one escaped. ”

"So my grandmother has always suspected that it must be the Taoist priest who was disrespectful to Shenmu who offended God and provoked the lives of people in a city to be buried with him. ”

The man seemed to think of something, and said mysteriously: "By the way, I remembered, my grandmother did mention to us that when the Taoist priest finished scolding Qingqian Liu, Qingqian Liu did change. ”

"But that was all after my grandmother left Chang County. Later, after sunset, some people who came out in front of the curfew gate said that they saw the change of Qingqian Willow. ”

When Jin An heard this, he was stunned again.

He was surprised and asked: "No, shouldn't it be the day of the Qingming temple fair, after someone scolded the Qingqian Willow, the Qingqian Willow had a night of miracles, and then the Qingming Temple Fair Qingqian Willow that grew brass leaves became more lively, and it lasted for ten years of prosperity... In the end, only a city of people died?"

......

"Dao Chief, we are natives of Chang County, how can we be mistaken. ”

"It is indeed the day when Qingqian Liu was scolded, a terrible plague broke out in Chang County. ”

Listening to Jin An's inexplicable words, the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows carefully looked at the strange five-colored Taoist robe young Taoist priest in front of him: "Dao Chief, how can you sleep in the coffin of the dead in the cemetery?"

"Did you offend some enemy and be buried alive in a coffin by the enemy?"

Jin An hummed a few times ambiguously and casually, and then eagerly asked the few people in front of him for more details.

According to the other party's statement, the Kangding Imperial Court not only sealed the city, but also relocated all the people within dozens of miles of Chang County.

Although Xiba Village is far away from Chang County, it has become a deserted village ten years ago.

And today is the season of Qingming to worship the ancestors, a few people in front of them are bold, in recent years, every year will go back to their homeland to sweep the tomb.

Because everyone thinks that ten years have passed since the fire in Chang County, the dead have been eaten up and only dry bones are left, and there is no plague to be afraid of.

Therefore, in villages like Xiba Village, which is farther away from Chang County, many people have begun to return to their homeland to worship their ancestors.

That's all these people know, and the more in-depth details are all they don't know, after all, ten years ago, it's been too long, too long.

Long enough to bury all the truth in the rolling sand.

They saw that Jin An did not look like a person who was going to commit suicide by jumping into the river, so they didn't stay long, and they all left.

After all, they saw Jin An come out of the coffin in the cemetery with their own eyes, and the living returned to the living, but it was still very terrifying.

As a result, Jin An was once again left alone in the same place, and he was like being abandoned by heaven and earth, and his figure was confused.

You see that man looks like a dog......

......

Chang County.

When Jin An returned to his hometown, it was only one night away, and there was already a lot of people here.

The gates of the city were closed.

The tall city wall under the vicissitudes of time has been barren for a long time, revealing a heavy, heavy sadness, like a silent and sentimental giant.

A large city.

There was a dead silence.

It was not difficult for Jin An to climb over the city wall, when Jin An, the only living person, was isolated on the city wall, quietly looking at the collapsed ruins and the dead city overgrown with weeds and shrubs after the fire was extinguished at his feet.

Desolate.

Sadness.

There are also mixed feelings of sourness, all rushing to the throat at this moment.

"I'm back?"

"Do you guys remember me... Feng Zhutou, Li Yanchu, Miss Xiliu, and the brothers in the yali ......"

Is last night's calamity the same suffering that was inflicted on you ten years ago?

Did you take me through the catastrophe that no one could escape from ten years ago?

In the past month or so, all kinds of pictures have once again clearly emerged in Jin An's head.

Smack.

Smack.

In the empty market, there were corpses and bones everywhere, and Jin An walked in it alone, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the emptiness all around.

He walked through the familiar markets, markets, stone bridges, dry riverbeds, Fengle Towers that collapsed in ruins, Deshan Towers that were destroyed by fire, the mutton restaurants and inns that Jin'an and the old Taoist priests liked to go to, the places where he and the old Taoist goats lived, the yamen, and the Goolan tile shop......

and half of the street was destroyed by gunpowder, blasting out a huge pit on the site of the Wenwu Temple.

"In order to expel foreign invasions, the great Confucian who died on the battlefield and had a noble temperament......

Jin An looked at the Wenwu Temple, which had been reduced to nothing, his face was sentimental, he sighed, and finally became angry: "Greedy for life and afraid of death, betraying the country to seek glory, and letting foreigners burn and kill the traitors who have plundered, but they still have the face to build a temple for themselves and a tablet for their chastity! Let the people of the world sing the praises of virtue and virtue for you to die on the battlefield, and you would rather die than give in, and whitewash the traitors as high-spirited and bright Confucians! The traitorous ministers of others are all stinking for 10,000 years, but you deceive the world and steal your name, and the more you live, the more you look like a saint!"

......

The sunset is slanting.

The sunset burned half of the sky, and the mountains at the end of the world were covered with golden light, with magnificence and magnificence.

At this time, it was on an official road far away from Chang County.

A carriage drove slowly in the official road, getting farther and farther away from Chang County, and it was an old man who pulled the reins to drive the carriage.

"Childe, the old slave has always had something to think about, why didn't Childe meet with Gongzi Jin'an for the last time before leaving?"

The carriage was silent for a while, the curtain on the side of the carriage was lifted, and the people sitting in the carriage silently enjoyed the golden scenery in the distance under the sunset: "There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. ”

"If we are fated, we will meet again one day. ”

"If you don't have a chance, if you don't see it, it's better to forget about each other. ”

Qi Bo sighed: "Childe, if you don't make it clear to Gongzi Jin'an, how will he know that yesterday he strayed into Ghost Domain Chang County, and almost died in Ghost Domain Chang County, where thousands of lonely souls lived, just like other passers-by in the past ten years." ”

"If you don't know, how can others know that it was Childe who saved someone?"

The cabin was calm.

The man in the carriage did not answer Chipper's words.

Childe, Childe, even the old slave I can see that you have something on your mind, if you really have something on your mind, you should see the last side of the son of Jin'an, this one today, the opportunity to see each other again in the future... I'm afraid that the drizzle will last forever.

Qi Bo sighed, as a person who came over, he had already seen that Gongzi was reluctant to take the initiative to find Gongzi Jin'an, and wanted to wait for Gongzi Jin'an to take the initiative to find her, but if Gongzi didn't take the initiative to explain that it was Gongzi Jin'an who you rescued from Changxian, a ghost domain that was becoming more and more noisy, how could the other party know the truth about all this?

On the contrary, the son of Jin An mistakenly thought that it was the son, and you said goodbye, and the misunderstanding here will only get bigger and bigger in the future.

Thinking of this, Cheber, who was driving the carriage, once again fell into the unforgettable emotional memories of his youth.

Back then, because of each other's arrogance, no one could put down their hearts and take the initiative to find each other, leaving regrets for the rest of their lives, and in the end, it really became better to forget each other......

Qi Bo drove all the way, and saw that Gongzi didn't speak all the way, knowing that Gongzi was upset at this time and couldn't listen to his own words, so he began to talk to himself: "This ghost town in Chang County is getting more and more powerful." ”

"Ten years ago, it was just a fuss in the city, but now Qingqian Liu has not been ambushed, resulting in more and more resentment, and even the enlightenment Buddha vessel of the senior monks of Zhenguo Temple is faintly unable to suppress the thousands of grievances in the ghost town. The resentment in the city actually began to rush out for dozens of miles, affecting passers-by dozens of miles away, and leading passing merchants and passers-by to enter Chang County by mistake. ”

"Tsk, but that Jin An prince is also a strange person, and he helped those unjust souls clear their grievances, first the 'Lei Gong Splitting Corpse Case', and then the 'Water Ghost Drowning Case', and assisted the Changxian Yamen to solve the shocking case ten years ago. ”

"Next, he is not greedy for secular yellow and white things, and he takes the initiative to exchange the harmful money in the hands of the people of Chang County, and on the night of the shock, he took action to deal with the thousand-year-old evil wood Qingqian Liu, and he rescued so many people from the city. ”

Although those people had already died in the catastrophe ten years ago, it was precisely because no one was willing to save them ten years ago, and all the women, children, and children in the city died in the city, and no one escaped, so after they died, they turned their unwillingness and resentment into resentment, resenting the injustice of the world, why no one lent a helping hand to them. For example, drowning people often resent the people on the shore for not going into the water to save them. ”

Qi Bo continued: "In the past ten years, every night, the ghost domain of Chang County will re-enact the disaster of that night ten years ago, but anyone who passes near Chang County, is affected by the sky-high resentment, and strays into Chang County, passers-by, merchants, scholars, and young ladies... or monks and Taoist priests who took the initiative to enter the city to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, and none of them survived. But Jin An, an ordinary person at the beginning, was alone. ”

"The son of Jin An has not only become the most critical person to break the game, but also resolved the ten years of resentment in Chang County, so that the grievances of thousands of lonely souls have dissipated a lot, and they have returned to Chang County, it is estimated that in the next few decades, the resentment in Chang County will not rise again, and no longer come out to harm passers-by; ”

"Fortunately, Gongzi, you didn't inform Gongzi Jin'an of the truth about the ghost domain of Changxian County in advance, otherwise you would have known in advance, but it would have been unbeautiful and ineffective. ”

After Qi Bo finished speaking, he didn't forget to slap his son's ass: "Of course, son, you have the world in your heart, and you are full of righteousness, as soon as you hear that the ghost town of Chang County is getting more and more fierce, this time you take the initiative to enter the demon cave to eliminate the devil, and you must be a person who adheres to the great blessings of my Kangding country." Even if Gongzi Jin'an doesn't become the one who breaks the situation this time, Gongzi, you will definitely turn the danger into a disaster this time and leave Changxian safely. ”

"And the reason why Gongzi Jin'an was able to become a game-breaker this time was because Gongzi was kind-hearted at the beginning, and you couldn't bear to see him die in vain, so it was a gift to Gongzi Jin'an to practice, and it was to teach Gongzi Jin'an to practice, so that Gongzi Jin'an, an ordinary person, could also have a chance to save his life in the ghost domain of Changxian County. ”

"If you want the old slave to say, Gongzi, we should immediately turn around and go back to Changxian County, look for Gongzi Jin'an, and then explain your good intentions to Gongzi Jin'an, so that Gongzi Jin'an will remember you for a lifetime. ”

"Yes, you should let the son of Jin An remember it for a lifetime, and never forget that kind of thing for the rest of his life... Childe, if you don't become an old slave, I'll turn around and go back to find Childe Jin'an immediately?"

There was still calm in the carriage.

There was no response.

Childe has a heart in his mind, can't even pat himself on the back anymore?

Chipber was still waving his whip in his hand, gently whipping the butt of the colt pulling the carriage, absentmindedly driving the carriage on the long official road.

"Childe, are you asleep?"

Under the golden glow of the setting sun, there was still no sound in the carriage.

After a while, Qi Bo asked in a low voice, "Childe, where are we going to go on our next trip?"

The interior of the carriage was still calm.

In the wait, finally, the person in the carriage spoke again.

"Qingqian Liu has been away for ten years, hidden very deeply, there has been no news, others have been looking for ten years and have not found Qingqian Liu, you and I can't find it. ”

"I've heard that the last appearance of the Nine-Faced Buddha was in the Immortal God Kingdom. The Nine-Faced Buddha is too old, and I heard that he is so old that he is about to run out of oil, so he is now anxious to be reincarnated in the tenth life and cultivate the Tenth Buddha, so let's go and find the legendary Immortal God Kingdom. ”

"That Pu Zhi monk is also one of the disciples and grandchildren of the Nine-Faced Buddha, and there has been no trace of the Nine-Faced Buddha in Kangdingguo for a long time. This time, his disciples and grandchildren were born again, and as soon as he was born, he appeared in the ghost town of Chang County, and he was mixed with the Thorn Yin Master, there must be some scheme... It is estimated that it is still not dead on the polyyin basin ten years ago, and wants to come to Chang County to continue to look for clues to the polyyin basin, if the reincarnation of the nine-faced Buddha fails in the tenth life, borrow the polyyin basin to resurrect the nine-faced Buddha. ”

The one in the carriage spoke with contemplation.

Hearing the Immortal God Kingdom, Qi Bo's face changed, bringing bitterness.

When he heard that his master was not only looking for the Immortal God Kingdom, but also going to find trouble with the Nine-Faced Buddha in the Immortal God Kingdom, Qi Bo was even more bitter in his heart: "Son, you also said that you want to forget about the Jin'an Prince's relationship in the rivers and lakes, and now you are directly hitting the Nine-faced Buddha's nest." ”

Of course, this kind of speculation about the master's heart, Qi Bo didn't dare to say it, he turned to another thing: "The Immortal God Kingdom has always been very mysterious, and no one knows its specific location. ”

"However, the old slave has heard rumors that if you want to find the Immortal God Kingdom, you must first find the ancient country that has disappeared in the history books for more than 2,000 years, the Snake Girl Country, the Earless Clan, and the Beauty Warriors, and then you can find the location of the Immortal God Kingdom......"
