Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 183 Immortal Bones
Nestled in a mountain hollow, the Demon King's wife, seated cross-legged on a rock, cursed fiercely:
"That frivolous monk!"

"Not only was he lustful, but he also lacked any compassion of a monk. Without saying a word, he murdered the entire family of the man who was searching for his wife and daughters."

"Such a heart is even more vicious than ours, the demon cultivators and ghosts!"

The burly woman beside her noticed the exhaustion in her eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Madam, are you alright?"

The Demon King's wife sighed:
"It's nothing serious."

"But with the deaths of those dozen or so living corpses, I was afraid that Tang Sanzang's disciples would examine the bodies, so I had to completely transform the marrow of the divine bones into turbid bones and hide them, and annihilate the divine consciousness that had been separated out."

"Therefore, some of it is over-worn."

The burly woman said worriedly:

"Madam, do you think they might have already figured it out? After all, the Monkey King has fiery eyes and is proficient in seventy-two transformations. Maybe we should... just forget about it."

"No, they definitely won't see anything amiss."

As the Demon King's wife spoke, she raised her hand, and the skin on it receded like moss growing in reverse, instantly revealing a section of jade-white palm bone that shimmered with light.

"As you know, I died and went to the underworld. It was only by chance that I found this set of immortal bones, which enabled me to switch to the 'attachment' sect and quickly become a ghost immortal."

"This bone is extremely strange and has many mysteries."

"My method of controlling the corpse by dividing the mind utilizes the essence of the bones to invade the corpse's brain and directly control the entire body;
"The separated divine consciousness was hidden in the marrow, instantly traversing tens of thousands of miles, resonating with my main body, just like transmitting a message with a spiritual lamp, without any connection in between."

"So, let alone those few, even if you used the Heavenly Palace's Demon-Revealing Mirror to look at those living corpses, you would only see mortals."

The burly woman nodded. "So what should we do now?"

"I have another plan."

A cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes, and Lady White Bone said:
"Having killed so many people, I'd like to see how they'll handle things under the nose of their City God once we enter White Tiger City."

……

The master and his five disciples arrived at the foot of White Tiger City.

Tang Xuanci's white T-shirt had been replaced with a black shirt, his MLB baseball cap had been changed to a Razor Party cap, and he was also wearing a face mask.

The city gate guards, seeing that he was tall and strong and had a strong sense of stealth, immediately stopped him and questioned him.

Tang Xuanci did not conspicuously pull out the passport of the Eastern Land Great Power, but directly used his financial power to easily lead his disciples through the checkpoint.

Just then, the monkey suddenly looked strange and said:
“There’s definitely something wrong. We’d barely entered the city when someone started digging up the body by the roadside. No one saw it, so even if they heard the noise, there’s no way they could have found it right away, right?”

It turned out that after they killed that group of troublemakers, although they still didn't find anything unusual on the corpses, they were more cautious because of their daily espionage battles with the Buddhist community.

This time, they didn't throw the bodies too far away; they buried them directly by the roadside without deliberately removing any traces of disturbing the earth. Then, they secretly left a monkey-like insect to keep watch, wanting to see what would happen to the bodies afterward.

Upon hearing the monkey's words, Tang Xuanci immediately asked, "Are those corpses still the same?"

"Yes, the body hasn't changed, and the people digging the soil still look like ordinary people. One of them even seems to be Ritian's mother-in-law."

"Go to hell! If this counts as a mother-in-law, then Master probably has thousands of in-laws."

"Fuck your mother's head." Tang Xuanci said irritably, "Assuming someone is really behind all this, who is it? It doesn't seem like the Buddhist sect is testing us. Ritian, did she see your true form back then?"

"No, as soon as I went in, I covered her face and used a spell to block her senses, and then she died."

"It was only covered after you went inside?" "I meant as soon as you entered that thatched hut!"

Sha Dingtian said, "I remember that the village girl originally refused to serve Second Senior Brother, but now, thinking back on her behavior, I feel that the person she really wanted to take to that thatched hut was probably Master."

"Damn, is it another monster that's heard the rumors and wants to eat my flesh?" Tang Xuanci said, "Could it be that those mortals were all transformed by it? This monster is like a monkey, it can pluck hairs and transform, and its technique is even more amazing than a monkey's, so we can't tell at all?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible," the monkey said arrogantly. "If I had such abilities, I would have been famous throughout the Three Realms long ago. Ask Old Sha and this pig, in terms of transformation skills, who can surpass me?"

“This…I have never heard of it before,” Sha Dingtian said. “It is said that Erlang Zhenjun of Guanjiangkou can perform seventy-three transformations, but he does not have the supernatural power of plucking hairs to create clones, my senior brother. In fact, my senior brother is still a cut above the rest.”

"Hehe." Zhu Wuneng chuckled, without saying a word.

"Then what's going on with these mortals? If someone is controlling the puppets, surely the three of you couldn't have detected any energy fluctuations? If you have a mind imprint like WoWo's in your minds, you can't react in real time and adapt to changing circumstances..."

The group stood at the foot of the city wall, brainstorming, but they couldn't come up with an explanation for the beaver no matter how hard they tried.

The monkey suddenly said, "That old woman is going to the city to report to the authorities. I might as well kill them all and burn them all down."

"No, let's just go along with them and let them do what they want. Let's see what's going on."

Tang Xuanci suddenly developed a strong interest in this mastermind and said:

"If so many mortals are truly being manipulated, and we can't understand it at all, then this move is indeed brilliant."

"Perhaps... they could sneak into the Chang'an Imperial Palace without being discovered."

After saying this, he led his three disciples and one horse directly to a hotel for dinner and lodging.

As expected, the yamen officials came looking for trouble after nightfall.

Good heavens, there were dozens of people, all armed with swords and crossbows, and some even had double-barreled muskets. They said they were there to apprehend a suspect who had killed more than a dozen people.

The four of them had already made up their minds to surrender.

However, before being bound hand and foot, Tang Xuanci produced a passport stamped with the imperial seal of the Tang Dynasty, leaving the officials dumbfounded.

However, the leading judicial officer still ordered them to be taken back to the yamen on the grounds that "the case is serious," but they were not tied up and their attitude was much more polite.

Upon hearing the news, the governor of the city worked through the night to interrogate the four men, very sensibly hinting to them that this was just a formality, and that once the troublemaking crowd was dealt with, they would be allowed to go west.

However, just as Tang Xuanci was being taken to a side hall to "take his statement," the seemingly ordinary governor revealed his true colors and served him a cup of "poisoned tea."

Tang Xuanci was highly skilled and daring. Knowing that the tea might be problematic, he still drank it and then collapsed to the ground as the poison took effect.

It turned out that the prefect, the judicial officer, and several wealthy merchants in the city had all become living corpses.

The White Bone Lady used their identities to secretly run a business along the riverbank, and she has made quite a bit of money over the years.

Seeing that Tang Xuanci had finally fallen for the trap, the governor's eyes lit up with surprise. He immediately and secretly sent him out of the city and handed him over to the tiger-backed woman who had come to meet him.

The woman on the tiger's back rode a gust of demonic wind and, instead of returning to White Tiger Ridge, went to a more distant mountain as instructed, where she abducted Tang Xuanci into a small, single-story cave with five bedrooms and three living rooms.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Lady White Bone knew that Tang Xuanci was no small matter to the Buddhist community, so the matter of capturing him must not be made public.

Therefore, she found another place and sent her niece there first, while she returned to White Tiger Ridge and secretly brought out her child and two other trusted subordinates to eat the immortal flesh.
