Chapter 01: The Ossified Man

In the cool autumn season, the grass gradually withers, and the cold wind of Jiyin Mountain is better than before. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Shi Xi tightened his thin coat, moved the dirty bamboo basket forward, and staggered towards the deserted Jiyin Mountain.

Although the bamboo basket is dirty, the white-flour steamed buns placed in it are not stained with a trace of dust, and they are as white as a snowball.

Shi Xi carefully avoided the unique thorn trees on Jiyin Mountain, and looked at the col that was getting closer and closer, and his hanging heart was getting higher and higher.

The Qixi Festival has just passed, but the ambiguous atmosphere can't stop the coldness of the Halloween Festival. If it weren't for the immortal master who appeared and said that her brother's illness would only get better if she worshiped the ancestors, and Shi Sheng's deteriorating body couldn't survive tonight, she wouldn't have chosen to come to Yin Mountain at this time.

Shi Xi has never understood why his family must be buried in the col of Jiyin Mountain after death, even his father and mother are no exception. Not to mention the eerie and terrifying rumors in Jiyin Mountain, just the thorny trees along the way almost killed Shi Xi. The Thorn Tree is a poisonous plant that even the legendary immortals dare not approach.

I once heard the old people in the town say that Jiyin Mountain is a mass grave piled up with corpses, so it is surrounded by yin wind all year round, and ghosts howl endlessly. In addition to the towering bone pile, there was no col in the original Jiyin Mountain, and then there was a sky collapse, and the entire Jiyin Mountain collapsed from the center, which formed today's mountain col.

With the faint light of the fire fold, Shi Xi circled the entire mountain col, and only then did he find the grave of the ancestor of the Shi family.

The years have passed, and the huge tomb that was originally built of bluestone is now only a handful of loess, and even the tombstone is only half of it.

Shi Xi placed the bamboo basket in front of the mound-like grave, rolled up his sleeves, and began to clean up the weeds on the grave. The weeds that can grow in the col of Jiyin Mountain are not ordinary weeds, each one seems to be rooted deep in the ground, and it is not until the night is close to that that Shi Xi cleans up the grave.

Looking up at the sky, the dense fog of Jiyin Mountain blocked the moonlight, and the rest was gray and black, suppressing people's hearts.

Rubbing his frozen hands, Shi Xi began to take out the sacrificial supplies prepared in the bamboo basket and placed them one by one.

Shi Xi had just turned three years old when his father suffered a natural disaster and died in the aftermath of an immortal battle. Her mother became depressed and fell ill, and after giving birth to her younger brother, she also went with her father. The two sisters and brothers, who depended on each other, were raised by an old beggar, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and the immortals fought again, and the old beggar also returned to the underworld, leaving the ten-year-old Shixi and his younger brother, full of human affection.

Fate only favors the lucky, and Shixi's luck has always been bad.

Not long after the old beggar died, his younger brother Shi Sheng fell ill and was unconscious for a long time.

In order to treat her younger brother, Shi Xi took all the work she could do in the town, and even sold herself to Zhou Yuanwai's house as a maid to earn money, but her brother's illness still did not improve.

Fortunately, there is no endless road to heaven, and the immortal master who appeared in a dream in the middle of the night gave Shixi hope.

The burning incense candles held up a small world in the mist of Jiyin Mountain, and the orange-red light dyed the snow-white steamed buns with a layer of blood. Shi Xi reverently held the long incense, made a wish to the ancestors, and then kowtowed, but did not see the white smoke rising straight into the tomb.

"Ahh

The temperature dropped suddenly, Shi Xi shivered with cold, and the ghost howls that had not appeared after entering the col came from far and near.

Looking at the thickening fog around him in horror, Shi Xi trembled and inserted Changxiang in front of the tribute, and then couldn't wait to get up and want to leave.

Her knees seemed to be glued to the ground, and no matter how hard Shi Xi tossed, she never left the position where she knelt and worshipped.

The ghost howl was getting closer and closer, and the small world held up by the incense candles was getting smaller and smaller, and Shi Xi seemed to feel that the things hidden in the mist were eating away at the thin halo.

Cold sweat soaked the single clothes, Shi Xi looked at the mist that was already close at hand with a pale face, and opened his mouth to scream in fear, but he couldn't make a sound. His legs were still on his knees, unable to move, and the mist almost covered Shixi's cheeks.

Crackle –

The incense candle suddenly burst into a spark, temporarily dispelling the thick fog that shrouded it.

Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and while the fog had cleared, he began to dig the ground under his knees with both hands. The ground, which had been soft enough to pull out weeds, became so hard that the fingertips were bleeding, and not a single speck of dust was dug up, and panic and despair gradually spread into my heart.

Creak...... Creak......

There was a sound like teeth chewing in the thick fog.

Shi Xi watched the incense candles burn out in a daze, watched the last wisp of white smoke drift into the ancestors' tombs, and watched the originally knee-high mound of soil grow larger little by little, and the sand and stones rolled down, revealing the main body of the black jade-like tomb inside.

If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, if it weren't for the remaining half of the tombstone, Shi Xi couldn't believe that the ever-expanding tomb in front of him seemed to be the tomb of the ancestors of the Shi family.

Seeing that the tomb continued to shake off the dust and restore its original appearance, the half of the tombstone emitted bursts of golden light, lighting up the hidden runes around the tomb, and a huge sealing rune array was suppressed towards the tomb layer by layer.

The two phases are deadlocked.

At the same time, in the very center of the Yin Mountain, that is, at the lowest valley of the mountain col, a white bone hand broke through the black soil layer, turning slightly in the air, stirring up a huge vortex of mist.

The skeleton that broke out of the ground, the body is slender and graceful, the bones are as white as jade, and after shaking off the mud and dust, it exudes a faint luster, adding a touch of mystery.

The fog turns, the sky is gloomy outside the mountain, and the lunar moon unique to Halloween is also hidden behind the clouds. The swirling mist continued to pour into the skeleton, and the originally empty eye sockets gradually appeared dark blue flames.

When the fog in the entire Jiyin Mountain had faded a little, the flames in the eye sockets stabilized and flickered smartly.

The skeleton with the flame seemed to have a spiritual intelligence, and with a flick of his fingers, he swept away the mist above his head, and then raised his hand, bathing his slender fingers in the lunar moon, as if admiring.

The essence of the yin moon continued to pour into the white bones, and the white luster almost illuminated the entire Jiyin Mountain Col.

Suddenly, there was a terrible scream, interrupting the White Bone's act of devouring the Yin Moon Essence. The leaping flames in the eye sockets slowly swirled, and the white bones moved their bodies, and the sound of the bones rubbing was like jade hitting each other, crisp and pleasant.

A thick mist enveloped the bones in the direction of the tide.

The huge black jade tomb, the half-section of the tombstone that shimmered with golden light, the girl who bowed her head and bowed, and the white bones that gradually approached in the mist, formed a strange picture.

"Hey, there's a living person here!" The flames in the white bones' eye sockets kept jumping, and a wave of divine thoughts came out, "No, it's dead." ā€

The white bones approached Shixi unhurriedly, wanting to see what was going on with the girl who was kneeling down and worshipping the dead.

There was an earth-shattering roar from the black jade tomb: "Get out of the way, don't get close to my body!"

"Your body, hehe, wait until you break the seal of the half-tombstone. Ignoring the threat of the black jade tomb, Bai Gu walked to Shi Xi's side and squatted down, "This body is so weak, you can even look at it?" Without waiting for the black jade tomb to answer, Bai Gu shook his nose bone, as if sniffing the smell of Shi Xi's body, "It turned out to be your bloodline, but this body doesn't look special, why didn't you choose to devour it and continue to purify your bloodline, but chose to take away the soul?"

The black jade tomb didn't expect this vulnerable-looking white bone, and it actually saw through his actions at a glance: "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" "Who am I?" Bai Gu stood up, his real knuckle hand pointed at himself, the faint blue flame dimmed, and he made a vague gesture of looking up at the sky, "I want to know too...... Who am I?"

It woke up from the ground, crawled out with great difficulty, and condensed the divine fire through the mist, but there was no memory, only some fragmented pictures flashed by, and it was disorganized.

Taking advantage of the moment when the white bones fell into thought, the black jade tomb suddenly burst out with countless black mist, like ink dripping into water, spreading and invading the golden tombstone seal. Half of the tombstone kept counterattacking, but after all, half of it was missing, and the formation was incomplete, and it was gradually weakening.

A wisp of black mist successfully drilled out of the tombstone seal, like a tentacle stretched out to the hanging head of Shixi, seeing that there was still a zhang Xu to succeed, but the white bone stepped forward and stepped on the black mist tentacles.

"Get out of here, death to those who stop me!"

"If it's like me, what else can I die?" Bai Gu showed off his clean bony body, and the laughter that came from his mind was desolate with self-deprecation.

"You and I are both dead, so why bother each other, I promise, as long as you help me get a body, I will definitely find a suitable body for you!"

"I can't trust you. Besides, the tombstone seals all dead things, and I dare not approach it. ā€

"This body has my blood, and it is of no use to you. ā€

For the deceased, it is too difficult to be reincarnated, not only to have the right physical body, but also to have the right time. Halloween is a good time, but the flesh is best connected by blood. Bai Gu was about to retreat from here, but Shi Xi's corpse exuded a strong resentment, overflowing from the kneeling knees, and wrapped around Bai Gu's legs.

Through the resentment, Bai Gu seemed to see Shi Xi's determination to rather self-destruct than be possessed by the black jade tomb. I really don't know what this black jade grave did to this little girl before.

The originally shattered memories were stimulated by Shi Xi's resentment, and they actually pieced together a complete chapter.

Bonding Sutra!

Bai Gu looked at the flickering scriptures in the sea of knowledge suspiciously, familiar and unfamiliar.

"All things are born together, and they can all be married!

Everything is one's own as long as it is married, what kind of exercise is this, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a collection of robber theories? Bai Gu crooked his jaw bone to show his pout. This scripture appears directly in Zhihai, and it is thought that it is the practice it has practiced in its previous life. It seems that in the previous life, it used this exercise to do things that lacked virtue, so in this life, it will be good, help this girl.

After a cursory look at the Sutra of Marriage, there are not many words, and the idea is profound, but Bai Gu can understand it at a glance, and it can be used simply after a while. To put it simply, the Sutra of Bonding is a practice of bonding with external objects at the cost of burning the soul.

He glanced at the resentful girl's corpse, and then looked at its two dark blue soul flames. Fortunately, this corpse is willing to marry, otherwise it is estimated that it will run out of soul and die before it can successfully cast the spell.

Seeing that Bai Gu, who was about to leave, the black jade tomb stopped, and urged: "Why don't you leave yet, it's not good for me to hit the seal and hurt you by mistake." ā€

"It's not that I refuse to leave, but this body is destined for me, and I can't leave!" Bai Gu shrugged his shoulders and began to run the Karma Sutra.

Since the bond is based on resentment, the white bone clearly saw the black normal line between himself and the corpse that appeared from time to time, and as the soul continued to burn and decrease, it gradually solidified and formed.

After a while, the flames in the eye sockets of the white bones changed from blue to purple, shrunk by most of the time, and the gaze staring at the corpse became more and more bewitching: "I just woke up, I feel so hungry, I really want to eat meat......"

"A newly awakened white bone dares to oppose me!

The black jade tomb anxiously slammed into the seal, but it couldn't stop the white bones whose eyes had completely turned purple and squatted straight down, approaching Shixi.

Seeing that Shi Xi's body was decreasing little by little, and the white bones were gradually growing blood and flesh, the black jade tomb was completely crazy, desperately attacking the seal of the tombstone, and the roar came out through the seal, turning the fog upside down.

That's the body he's been waiting for for a thousand years, that's the flesh and soul he's been feeding for years, that's the hope of his resurrection!

But now everything has been made into someone else's wedding dress!

"Stop, you stop me!"

"I move my mouth, not my hands. "The speed at which the white bones devoured became faster and faster, and the flesh on the body became fuller and fuller, and skin began to derive.

"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to crush you to ashes!"

Bai Gu burped very ingracefully, looked down at his body that was almost completely transformed into a human, exactly the same as the girl who hung his head just now, and nodded with satisfaction: "Although this body is so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary, after all, it is the flesh and blood spirit you prepared, and I still have to thank you." ā€

The voice that came out of the mouth was soft, but with a cold feeling. Bai Gu whispered two words of the girl's name, Shi Xi, Shi Xi, why is it a little familiar? Could it be that she formed a cause and effect with this girl in her previous life?

That's it, now that it has been reborn, let's live well for this girl who died in vain.

"It feels good to be reincarnated. Bai Gu, it should be said that Shi Xi moved his hands and feet, and walked to a weed on the left side of the tomb without hurrying, "The one in the grave, before leaving, I will give you a big gift to express my gratitude." ā€

Cutting away the weeds that had been shattered by the roar of the black jade grave, Shi Xi dug out the other half of the tombstone from the black soil layer, and walked towards the black jade grave with a smile.

"Don't ...... Other...... We're all dead, you can't do that!"

"Don't worry, you and I got married today, and we will see you again in the future!" Shi Xi said as he walked towards the other half of the tombstone while holding the tombstone, and the invisible normal line at his fingertips continued to entangle the entire tombstone.

As Shi Xi put half of the tombstone back in place, the formation that had been eroded by most of the black mist suddenly brightened, and the black jade tomb turned back into the original loess mound.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Shi Xi's legs weakened and sat on the ground.

She knew that the thing in the grave was not simple, but she didn't expect that it was just indirectly related to the half-cut tombstone like a dead thing, and it almost burned her fragile soul that had just been reincarnated as an adult!
