Chapter 1640 The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge
The Juehu Town in front of us is called Wumei Town. The sudden change occurred in the first month after the Four Symbols Bureau of Duantianjiedi was broken. At that time, Jin An was still trapped in the underworld.
When Jin An escaped from the underworld and returned to the human world, when he reviewed the piled files and found out that Tieniu came ashore to eat people in Wumei Town, more than a month had passed since the incident. When he reviewed the files, the case had been closed, and he came ashore to eat people.
The Iron Ox of Man has also been joined by the local righteous people to exorcise evil spirits.
The case in Wumei Town is not complicated, but it is one of the most tragic evil cases, because more than a hundred households in the town were killed, and no one survived.
Thousands of people in a small town died tragically in one night, leaving ten houses empty.
The iron bull that came ashore to eat people was a sacrificial vessel that belonged to the previous dynasty. It was considered a very ancient object.
This old object was used to offer sacrifices to pray for rain and bring good weather.
But things are not as simple as they appear.
This iron ox is actually a vessel used to sacrifice living people to heaven. First, two halves of the iron ox are cast and the belly is hollowed out. When it is time to sacrifice and pray for rain, several pairs of boys and girls are stuffed into the ox.
Then put the two halves into one, then pour red-hot molten iron to seal the mouth, and finally throw it into the river to pray to the Water Dragon King for rain.
Those pairs of boys and girls were still alive and well before they were sealed into the belly of the bull. Several grown-up boys were stuffed alive into the iron bull by the adults and sealed to death. It was extremely cruel.
When the local Taoist and Buddhist temples worked together to exorcise the demons and cut open the Iron Bull, several clusters of complete human bones fell out from the cow's belly. The bones of those children were all curled up into balls. The oldest was no more than five years old, thus uncovering the truth about the Iron Bull.
The truth behind sacrificing people and praying for rain.
No wonder this iron bull was so resentful that he went ashore to eat all the people in a town. With such a cruel method of sacrificing people, the older the object got, the deeper the resentment accumulated, and eventually it became a scourge.
However, the old object was a human sacrifice vessel belonging to the previous dynasty. After the two dynasties changed, wars and refugees, and several population migrations, Wumei Town back then was no longer what it is today, and the people of Wumei Town now are no longer the residents of Wumei Town back then.
Descendants.
As a result, the current Wumei Town has been able to avoid disasters for the people of the previous dynasty. It is truly an unforeseen disaster, which is very sad.
It is precisely because of the above points that Jin An was deeply impressed by the tragedy that happened in Wumei Town. Even when he saw masters of Taoism and Buddhism working together to summon souls in the underworld, he recognized the origin of this town.
.
In Juehu Town, the local Taoist and Buddhist temples worked together to exorcise demons. His characteristics were very obvious and he recognized him at a glance.
And Wumei Town is not the boundary of the capital, but the state capital next door adjacent to the capital. Huangquanhe in the underworld was traveling very fast, and he had already left the boundary of the capital.
No wonder all sects like to use the underworld to convey information between the two places. Traveling in the underworld is not as fast as traveling in the underworld.
Rushing to be reincarnated is not a simple folk saying, but has a factual origin, and it refers to the road to the underworld.
Headless Jin'an just passed by Wumei Town and did not go ashore to perform any rituals together. The man-eating evil spirit had already been executed and killed. If it was just to summon the soul, it would not be too difficult.
Moreover, he has left the techniques of borrowing the wind, summoning clouds, and riding on the mist to help summon souls. With him clearing away the clouds and mist to see the blue sky, local Taoist and Buddhist masters will summon souls more smoothly.
Little did Headless Jin An know that his actions, coupled with the image of being headless, wearing a blood sutra robe, and being buried in a boat and coffin, would shock the mind of the Taoist and Buddhist masters who opened the altar to perform rituals. By the next day,
The legend of his headlessness spread not only in the capital circles, but also in the neighboring state capitals. A headless Taoist priest who was buried in a boat coffin was able to bring order to the chaos and bring sunny days in the underworld!
A headless corpse king with no obvious foundation assists the righteous masters in summoning souls!
But these are all things that will happen on the next day. At this time, the headless Jin'an continues to drift on the boat, following the soul-inducing lantern in his hand, looking for the source of the corpse and the Gelwu Immortal Cauldron that has been lost for more than ten years.
.
In fact, Wutou Jin'an was not in a calm mood at this time. He sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, motionless, staring at the river in front of him, where dead people were constantly rolling up, as if it would never end.
The appearance of Wumei Town was beyond his expectation. He did not expect that this trip would actually lead to the next-door state capital.
Tannangfetching Taoism is not omnipotent, it is also limited by geographical distance. Although his Tao skills have greatly increased now, Tannangfetching Taoism is not yet able to reach out to the next state capital, nor can it reach across two or three state capitals.
distant.
He found pieces of the ship and the corpses of the crew members using Taoist skills. However, he went to the next state capital. There can only be one explanation. It is no secret that the Immortal Cauldron of Immortality has appeared again. Now he and King Zunyi are not the only ones looking for the Immortal Cauldron of Immortality.
There are other forces involved in searching for the whereabouts of the Immortal Cauldron.
And the clues he got from planting pears must have come from what these people had in their pockets.
In other words, among the forces in the capital, he and King Zunyi are not the only ones who are looking for the whereabouts of the Immortal Cauldron! There are other hidden forces in the capital that have been looking for the Immortal Cauldron of Immortality without giving up!
More than ten years ago, the Immortal Cauldron of Gewu went to sea one after another, and then was left overseas. It was not brought back with the Shenzhou, and its whereabouts remain unknown to this day.
Since these people had been persevering in searching for the Immortal Cauldron, and could find clues about the Immortal Cauldron before he and King Zunyi did, there was no need to guess, they must be the same group of people who knew about the Immortal Cauldron back then.
even!
Among these people are the powerful Shinto men who participated in the siege of the previous generation of martial arts immortals!
Unexpectedly, passing by Wumei Town, more secrets were revealed behind the scenes. If Jin An had a head now, he would be sitting cross-legged on the bow of the ship's coffin with his eyebrows furrowed in thought.
In fact, when the headless Jin'an passed by Wumei Town in the underworld, he already had a rough idea of the destination of his trip to the underworld.
There is a Tongtian River in the state capital next door, which can lead all the way to the ocean. It is a rare outlet to the sea in the Central Plains. It has also been an important port of call for the royal Shenzhou.
Shenzhou is as big as a sea city or giant fortress. The capital city is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. There is no such deep port for Shenzhou to dock, and there is no such deep canal for Shenzhou to enter and exit. Shenzhou is a giant sea-going ship and has always docked at seaports.
Thinking again that the Immortal Cauldron of Immortality was lost overseas, this soul-inducing lamp might be taking him out to sea...
The ocean in the underworld is no calmer than the ocean in the upper world.
The vast ocean of the underworld is the sea of underworld in Taoism and the boundless sea of suffering in Buddhism. Even before the Age of Ending Dharma, there has never been a record of a powerful person successfully crossing the sea in the underworld.
The danger of the underworld is far greater than that of the inland. It is a forbidden place where there is no return, no return, no life, and a forbidden place for the living and the dead.
Wu Toujin sat still quietly. If the soul-inducing lantern really wanted him to go to sea, he would have to let the bow and bridge of the ship straighten naturally and wait and see what happens.
