In the ancient tomb.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them with a strange expression.
The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
"Could it be that the bandit monkey is the real body of the underworld ferryman?"
Jin An was the first to speak.
This is a bit absurd. Who would have thought that the real ferryman from the underworld would be a monkey, and he even pretends to look like it. He is just like a rogue monkey with a capricious temperament.
obviously.
Everyone acquiesced to Jin An's statement.
Because no one refuted it.
The monkey crouched on the shoulder of a red otter corpse and did not notice Jin An's hiding place. Without looking back, he strode into the shallow mist of the suspension bridge and disappeared into the world.
The otter was tall, like a man walking upright, and shriveled up after death.
They were taller and taller than the four otters that Jin An had met at the Dragon King Temple. They were a head taller than ordinary otters and looked even more ferocious. The corpse energy on his body is overwhelming, the yin energy is cold and heavy, and he is wearing thick iron armor. At first glance, he looks like a monster with infinite strength.
Especially in the gaps of the armor, a thick layer of red hair grows, bulging out the armor connected with beef tendons. Those red hairs are filled with bloody evil energy, forming a circle around his body.
Of course, this is not an ordinary otter. It has been refined by Yinshan Taoist using evil magic. It has become essentially different from an otter. Its facial features have gradually become human-like. It also has another name. It was raised by Yinshan Taoist to specialize in diving and tomb robbing. water monkey!
"Such a big water monkey. Is this the corpse king of the water monkey left behind by the Yinshan Taoist when he died in his tomb? Monkey and water monkey, these two things are a perfect match when they come together."
The tall man with raised eyebrows in Kuixing frowned.
Among so many people, he had the most dealings with water monkeys. After all, he had just escaped from the water monkeys' attack not long ago.
This time it was new hatred meeting old hatred.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
"Amitabha, I didn't expect that the ferryman in the underworld was hidden so deeply. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have been unable to accept such a big reversal for a while..."
At this time, the abbot of Bailong Temple clasped his hands together and sang a Buddhist chant with emotion in his heart.
"Not only did the abbot look away, but Elders Kongming and Hongzhao also looked away." Monk Kongming also said with emotion.
Probably because this reversal came so unexpectedly.
Not to mention the three eminent monks from Bailong Temple, the expressions on the faces of everyone present were almost the same as that of surprise. Everyone looked away from the beginning to the end.
"Everyone, does anyone really know this ferryman from the underworld?" General Duwei frowned.
The captain originally thought that all the strange people he and Mr. Fu Yin had summoned this time were all familiar with the situation, but he never expected that such an oddity as a ferryman from the underworld would sneak into the team.
There are exceptions.
It means that there will be extraneous problems.
This will add more variables.
This is not a good thing.
"The ferryman of the underworld is the best at dealing with the dead. He can always find a living door on the road to the underworld. Maybe it was because his longevity reached the end of his life, and he took his body from a monkey's head?"
Someone guessed.
"Then why didn't he seize a human body instead of a little beast?" Someone immediately retorted.
"Hey, if it were really that easy to seize the body, then who in the world would abandon the throne for a 'immortal' and spend all day refining the elixir of immortality." Kuixing said with a smile on his face.
"Since this underworld ferryman can find a way to live in the underworld, maybe he really has a way to seize the body, but the price must be very high. The price is so high that he has no choice but to seize the body of a small animal. At best, It’s just a lingering fake immortality.”
"Don't look at me. The devil knows what the price is, unless someone catches the monkey now and asks him face to face."
When Kuixing Kidou saw everyone looking at him, he spread his hands and said indifferently.
After Kuixing Kick Dou said this.
Jin An thought of the story in "Guangping Youshuo Synaesthesia", in which the spirit of a playful Taoist boy came out of his body and possessed a farm cow, and then uttered human words to ask for help from Guangping Sanren...
Therefore, it is impossible to say that seizing the body is really possible.
"Abbott, is the price of seizing the body just to use the animal path to hide the truth? In the "Satipaṇṭhāna Sutra", there are four billion kinds of animal paths. The animal path belongs to the Five Rebellions and Ten Evils. It is born with its own evil aura. If used properly, , but it can indeed deceive the human soul and avoid the six paths of reincarnation and the burning of the body by the fire of karma." The knowledgeable monk Hongzhao of Bailong Temple said thoughtfully.
As expected of the elder of the Zhengdao Academy, Monk Hongzhao's words, after everyone thought about it carefully, it was really possible.
Speaking of the underworld ferryman, Jin An thought of another thing. He turned to look at the old Taoist priest.
"Old Dao, I remember that the half-body corpse was holding the sword in the hand. It must have fallen with you. I just remembered it now. I have never seen the half-body corpse. You fell from the fake tomb. Did you see that half-length body?"
Jin An asked.
Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest's next answer surprised Jin An and made him slightly startled.
The old Taoist priest raised his hand and pointed to the shabby old suspension bridge not far away with many black prayer flags fluttering. Nunu mouth said: "Well, it also ran into the Dead Man's Walk suspension bridge."
"Before entering the suspension bridge, he left the half-length body of the ferryman in the underworld and let the three of us take care of it together. However, the rope that tied the body fell in the previous cave and was severely worn. The two brothers Weeper and I were not aware of it for a moment. , he broke free from the ropes that bound the body and ran into the suspension bridge."
"That thing is a dead thing. Maybe the Sutras of the Dead on the suspension bridge won't have much impact on it. I estimate the time and it should have reached the other side by now."
As the old Taoist priest spoke, he actually looked a little regretful and nostalgic.
Seeing that the old Taoist priest was actually nostalgic for a corpse, Jin An's eyebrow muscles twitched a few times, so he changed the subject: "If the underworld ferryman goes to the tomb smoothly, except for the three people who died outside, the people on their boat will , there should be three people going to the tomb, one is a ferryman from the underworld, one is an exorcist, and one is a Feng Shui master, so where did the remaining two go?"
Jin An's question is destined to be unanswerable.
Unless they catch up with the monkey who is the ferryman of the underworld and ask him where the others have gone, are they all sacrificed by him to open the road to life and death?
"Taoist Master Jin'an, I must find out the truth behind this underworld ferryman today. Please stop trying to persuade me. Even if you don't want me to accompany you on the Dead Man's Suspension Bridge, I will go in and find out in person. The Underworld Ferryman will investigate and find out. I want to see if the Underworld Ferryman has hidden his secrets so deeply and has some other agenda."
General Duwei has decided to leave.
This time, no matter how Jin An tried to stop him, it was useless.
"General Duwei, don't act in a hurry yet, look, my sword has come out!" the old Taoist priest suddenly said in surprise.
The voice of the old Taoist priest attracted everyone's attention. Turning around, Jin An saw a familiar figure walking out of the suspension bridge safe and sound.
"Sharpen the sword!"
When master and disciple meet, they are naturally overjoyed.
"Master."
After sharpening his sword and walking out of the suspension bridge, he also saw Jin An. His face, which was originally a little pale, regained some of its energy.
Avenue induction.
Yin Deyi.
Jin An looked at Xiejian and looked a little pale. He quickly felt distressed and asked Xiejian what was going on. Did he encounter any danger on the Dead Man's Suspension Bridge?
Did you encounter the little monkey from the ferryman of the underworld when you came out just now?
He sharpened his sword and shook his head dully: "Disciple did not encounter the must-die monkey who stole the third junior brother's mung bean cake."
"Thank you, Master, for your concern. The Sutra of the Dead covers a very large area. My disciple is just exhausted in the underworld. He can regain his strength after taking a rest."
Next, Xiajian began to talk about his experiences in the underworld of the Dead Man's Sutra...
