“Mother!”
 The old Taoist priest was so surprised that he forgot that he was still underwater.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he took several mouthfuls of water and struggled wildly under the water.
Seeing the old Taoist priest choked by the water, Jin An didn't have time to think too much about the Water Goddess's intentions. After hurriedly collecting a few things floating in the water, he dragged the old Taoist priest to the surface with his sword.
 Ahem...
 Cough cough cough......
After everyone landed on the shore, they were all coughing violently and breathing in fresh air. They all lay facelessly on the shore, exhausted, and had no strength to move a finger.
 Only the chest was heaving violently.
The narrow escape from death along the way exhausted everyone's energy. They really didn't have the energy to move anymore. They just wanted to lie on the shore and have a good sleep. Even if the sky fell, they didn't want to move.
It was not until the body relaxed completely that everyone noticed that their whole body was sore and that many parts of their body were bruised and bruised. These were all caused by the impact in the underground river.
“Cough…cough…cough…cough…”
The old Taoist priest coughed for a long time, and after he coughed up all the water that had choked his lungs, the first thing he said was to pour out the bitter water to Jin'an: "People always say that there are three major hardships in life: punting, blacksmithing, and selling tofu.
Because you have to get up early and stay late every day to make a living. As a veteran, I think it should be added to the hardship. It is not easy for tomb robbers to rob a tomb. Not only do you get up early and stay late, but you also have to be chased by dead people and choked by water."
“Little brother, I feel like I’m full from drinking water right now, and my stomach is full like I’ve been pregnant for six months.”
“Okay, don’t talk too much. I looked at the moonlight above my head. It will be dawn soon. Let’s quickly confirm where we are now so that we can rush back to the Dragon King Terrace to join the others.”
Jin An's words reminded everyone that those cavalry men who had experienced a series of narrow escapes and collapsed on the shore from exhaustion had already stood up and lined up in line without the command of the general.
These cavalry guards are indeed the soldiers trained by General Duwei himself, and each of them is the best among the best.
At this time, everyone saw clearly that there was a flat lake in front of them, and they had just swam out from the bottom of the lake.
Although the mountains after night are all pitch-black outlines, and they all look the same, this does not trouble the Feng Shui masters and old Taoist priests who understand Feng Shui and can look up at the sky and the geography.
 They simply identified the star position and quickly located where they were at this time.
They are a bit different from Longwangtai. They have to follow the river in the mountains, find the mouth of the river, and walk back more than ten kilometers before returning to Longwangtai.
　　Everyone was worried about the long nights and many dreams, and regardless of their tired bodies and hungry stomachs, they rushed all night long to keep up their spirits. Along the way, they could only eat bread that was soaked in water and turned white and swollen in dry food bags to satisfy their hunger.
"Mr. Jin'an, why do I think the Water Goddess is very familiar with you? When she saw you, Mr. Jin'an, she didn't kill us. Instead, she gave you gifts, Mr. Jin'an?"
On the way, the mourner brothers struggled to finish chewing the dough, which was swollen by blisters and looked like wax. After running all night, their hungry stomachs finally had something to rest on, and everyone had time to think. The mourner asked Jin An curiously.
road.
As a result, before Jin An could answer, the old Taoist priest who had recovered from the shadow of choking on the water had already winked and said: "You can also see it. Hey, old Taoist, I have already seen my little brother when I was in the Hanging Coffin Burial Canyon.
We must be old acquaintances with the Water Goddess."
Then the old Taoist priest told everyone how Jin An met the Water Goddess on the first day he came to Fucheng.
Of course, the old Taoist priest is not stupid enough to reveal that Jin An once injured Xiao Hanba when he was walking in the underworld. It is enough that the people in the Five Zang Taoist Temple know about it.
 After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, everyone looked at Jin An in surprise.
That look of admiration and awe was just short of a thumbs up and a word of praise, Taoist Jin An, you are really awesome.
Jin An glared at the talkative old Taoist priest and said, "Actually, it's not as complicated as everyone thinks. The Water Goddess should just repay the favor."
"She fell into the water and drowned. She was married back to the Dragon Palace by the Dragon King and became the Water Goddess. She was killed by the Dragon King. I killed the Dragon King today. It is normal for her to repay her kindness."
The younger brother with the most problems among the mourners, after listening to Jin An's words, nodded: "But I just think that Elder Jin An is awesome."
 Jin'an: "?"
After all, Jin An almost killed Xiao Hanba, the son of the Water Goddess. He felt a little guilty and did not want to talk more about this topic, so he changed the subject: "This time I went to the Yinyi River to pacify the Dragon King, and it was thanks to the Water Goddess.
He helped us many times, taking away the human flesh figurines in the hanging coffin burial canyon, helping us defeat the Qimen Dunjia game, and finally helping us eliminate the corpse-carrying craftsman."
“As the saying goes, when we drink water, we must not forget the well digger. When we eat the water drawn by the Water Goddess, we must not forget the Water Goddess.”
“I propose again that we come together to wish the Water Goddess and her family an early reunion of mother and son, find a cemetery for them, and bury them together in a coffin. The most important thing for a family is to be neat.”
 “As a human being, you must not be ungrateful.”
 The old events in Jin'an are brought up again.

Everyone thinks that Jin An’s words are reasonable, but they always feel that there is something wrong with Jin An’s words? They can’t tell what is wrong?
"Speaking of which, speaking of the tomb, the Lord of Teng Kingdom was nailed to death under the Yinyi River by four dry bone stakes from the Dragon King Platform. How did he finally escape from the fire and wind and be burned, and find us for revenge?"
The captain general at the front said with a thoughtful look.
Mr. Feng Shui thought and nodded: "The reason why the Lord of Teng Kingdom was able to escape from the drought bone pile and be burned in the wind and fire disaster should have something to do with the underworld ferryman monkey, which finally detonated the corpse pill and caused the collapse of the main tomb... As for what happened specifically
Those changes are not known to us outsiders, I am afraid only the deceased Lord of Teng Kingdom knows about them."
“What is the flesh and blood pearl that the Lord of Teng Kingdom spit out from his mouth at the last moment? Is it also a corpse pill?” General Duwei was curious.
Mr. Feng Shui pondered for a while and replied: "The kings and emperors of the past dynasties would seek advice and medicine in their old age, eager to take elixirs and live forever. The king of Teng Kingdom must have collected many precious herbs from famous mountains and rivers.
He took a lot of miraculous medicines, otherwise he would not have been able to refine so many poisonous medicine residues and hide them in the corpses of his nine sons..."
“Those are not real corpse elixirs. At most, they are the residue left after Taoist priests made elixirs. They are hidden in corpses through mechanisms to guard against tomb robbers.”
"The leader of the Teng Kingdom kept the best elixirs to himself, which is in line with his selfish and monopolistic character. Because there are amber stones, corpse-suppressing tablets, and soul-nourishing trees to nourish his body and soul.
The divine soul ensures that the body will not decay for thousands of years, and the pill he took into his stomach may have been infected by the corpse energy for thousands of years, and finally transformed into a real corpse pill."
 Even if the mountain road is rugged.
 The Feng Shui master walked and talked, but his heart still didn't beat, his breath didn't pant, and his breath was stable. This shows that the master who pays attention to nourishing Qi in daily life has succeeded in cultivating Qi.
On the other hand, although the old Taoist priest also practiced Qi, he was not so calm and relaxed. He was out of breath along the way and had to stop from time to time to dig out the mud from the mountain with the soles of his shoes that weighed several kilograms.
 Old Taoist priests feel more like ordinary people.
 Just an ordinary wandering old Taoist priest who knows a little more about Taoism than ordinary people.
“It’s a pity that even if we crushed the Dragon King to ashes, in the end we still couldn’t see the Dragon King’s true appearance. Is he a sole face?”
“Before I went to the tomb, I have always been curious about what the dragon king in folklore looks like, and I have always wanted to see his true appearance.”
The old Taoist priest took off his shoes, leaned on the big tree to use the branches to dig out the mud, and patted the mud that fell into the shoes on the tree trunk. After that, the old Taoist priest put on his shoes again and continued to catch up with everyone.
 This is what an old Taoist said.
 Regrets actually arose in everyone's hearts.
When they first met the leader of the Teng Kingdom, the leader of the Teng Kingdom was completely covered with dragon scale jade armor.
After Jin An broke the amber stone, the leader of Teng Kingdom was immediately burned in the fire and turned into a bloody corpse with no skin on his body.
 …
 …
The mountain road of more than ten kilometers was not easy to walk. Even though Jin An and the others worked hard, until the first white fish belly appeared at the end of the sky, the sun rose in the east, and when dawn fell, there was still a hilltop away from the Dragon King Terrace.
 Suddenly.
 Rumble, the earth shook, and the heaven and earth roared.
 “What’s the sound?”
 The team stopped.
 But not long after, everyone’s expressions changed. The deafening sound of the river broke the dawn silence, and the turbulent waves rushed in. It was like a yellow turbid dragon entering the river, shaking the ground and shaking and roaring.
 The water level of the Yinyi River that had stopped flowing has risen again.
　　When he saw the surging river rushing past his eyes, the captain's expression changed.
"Master Fu Yin made an appointment with me. If we don't get out of Thousand Corpses Cave and go ashore, we will never let the tide of Yinyi River rise! No! Something happened at Longwangtai!"
The captain's face darkened, and everyone did not dare to delay on the road any longer. Jin An carried the old Taoist priest on his back, and with a flick of his body, he jumped out like a leopard in the dense forest, and his back could not be seen for an instant.
 The rest of the people also followed up at full speed.
　　When they arrived at the Dragon King Terrace, they saw that it was in a mess. There were many wounded soldiers lying on the shore, wailing and screaming. The Dragon King Temple and its four bone piles had all been destroyed.
