Chapter 222: A Grave, One Man
He turned his head slowly, and a hideous grimace suddenly crashed into him!
Saying that it was too late, he picked up the little girl and flipped to the side, but the black shadow with a grimace shook lightly and stopped moving.
His heart moved, he looked at it again, and suddenly lost a little speech, what kind of figure is this, it is clearly a cloth bag hanging on the plum tree, and the grimace is wearing on the cloth bag.
However, Bai Xiu's heart did not let go.
It had only been a long time since he had jumped from under the courtyard wall, and in just a few seconds, someone had quietly done it behind him, and that was the terrible thing about it.
He swept his gaze vigilantly, and the silence in the originally beautiful and peaceful crimson cloud plum forest suddenly became terrifying, as if even the air had froze.
Bai Xiu didn't dare to stay longer, tore off the package, and was about to leave, but Xiang Yunsheng in his arms cried in a low voice.
Bai Xiu patted her head comfortingly, but she didn't appreciate it, she was still struggling.
Bai Xiu didn't know what was going on with her, sleepwalking was not like sleepwalking, Zhongsha was not like Zhongsha, and there was no strange aura on her body, it was really strange.
In the end, he simply let her go.
Without waiting for him to land, Xiang Yunsheng still ran towards the base of the wall, squatting down and humming the strange ballad.
Bai Xiu walked over and saw that she kept patting the soil on the ground, and she already had a small dirt bag under her hand, round and smooth, like a grave.
"Little sister, sleep obediently, sister will help you cover the quilt, hehehehe......"
The childish laughter came from the girl's mouth, which was not innocent at all, but extremely harsh and treacherous.
Bai Xiu was startled for no reason, and quickly stunned the little girl, and slowly picked up the dirt bag while carrying her on her back.
Suddenly, his hands froze, and his heart sank.
He seemed to have touched something, cold, sticky, like the carrion of some animal.
He immediately cleared the dirt from the neighborhood, and soon the thing was revealed.
It was a baby's bones, which had begun to decompose, but Bai Xiu could still tell that her months were not very old, only one year old at most.
She must have died of suffocation, with a visible strangulation mark on her tiny neck.
"Alas. Inexplicable sadness swept over him.
The desire to survive is the instinct of all living beings, and even if they have just come to this world, they are reluctant to this world.
He couldn't imagine how desperate a baby would be in the face of death.
The baby girl curled up in a small pit, as if sleeping in swaddling clothes, is so peaceful and ironic.
How ruthless her killer should be.
Bai Xiu didn't think that a mother would be able to do it, someone should have taken her away from her parents and murdered her.
After being silent for a long time, Bai Xiu cleaned out her bones and planned to take her out of the village for reburial.
The yin qi of the dead baby is the heaviest, and it must not be buried here.
The plum flowers in Huishan Villa are very unusual, and if you nourish this yin qi and turn it into yin evil, it will be troublesome, not only will the baby's soul not be able to transcend, but the people nearby will also be affected.
Bai Xiu couldn't help but look at Xiang Yunsheng on his back.
The child's soul is light, and he is naturally susceptible to evil spirits, and it seems that this evil has begun to work even if it has not yet fully formed.
Since he was encountered, he naturally couldn't ignore it, not to mention that the reason why he got lost may also be due to this influence.
Thinking about it, he didn't hesitate anymore, and unfolded the cloth bag before.
He had checked before, but there was nothing in it, and he didn't know what the man had hung it on the tree for.
Bai Xiu held up the baby girl's body in its entirety, but then he discovered the problem.
The swaddling clothes that wrapped around her were shattered, almost fused with rotten flesh, something that could never be formed in days and months.
But looking at the corpse itself, it looked like it had been dead for a few days.
It's weird......
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he hurriedly put the baby girl down again, and carefully rummaged through the soil under the swaddling clothes.
The hard work paid off, and a piece of iron was soon revealed. Bai Xiu picked it up and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment.
This thing looks familiar.
This is an iron plaque, half the size of a palm, with a few shallow lines engraved on the front, forming a special sign, which seems to be a word, and seems to be some kind of totem.
And it was this pattern that made him inexplicably familiar, he should have seen it not long ago.
He turned the iron plate over, and on the back of it was engraved a column of words, with all the years, months and days, which seemed to be her date of birth.
However, when he saw this date clearly, he was instantly stunned in place, this was a certain day twenty years ago!
Did someone else's birth mark get into the baby's makeshift grave, or was she really born twenty years ago and buried here?
If it is the latter, the question before the explanation of the pass.
But how is it possible that the body of a baby is haphazardly buried, and it takes twenty years for it to begin to decompose?
Not right-
Bai Xiu thought of the concern just now, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, that yin evil might have taken shape a long time ago, and it was even more powerful than he expected!
Gotta go now!
Bai Xiu made a decision in an instant, he was only in a state of leaving his soul at the moment, Xiang Yunsheng was a child, both of them were extremely susceptible to the influence of yin and evil, and if they caught the Tao, they would be in trouble.
Thoughts flashed through him, and he had buried the body of the baby girl again, then stood up and went out of the courtyard door without looking back.
He still didn't know how to get out of this place.
There are no ghost eyes, and he is helpless against the gloomy obstacle, so he can only take one step at a time.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he found that his estimate was too optimistic, and the path that had originally divided the yard into two turned into exactly four.
They intertwined with each other like a giant net that swooped down on him.
Suddenly, all the plum branches shook, as if an invisible force was approaching.
"Oops. Bai Xiu felt more and more difficult to breathe, as if this invisible wind had blown the air away.
It soon became clear to him that it wasn't his delusion, but that something was really stuck in his neck.
He remembered the circle of strangulation marks around the girl's neck, which magnified infinitely, and turned into a hemp rope tightly around his neck.
"Is this looking for a stand-in? But am I not in a state of soul......
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and with the lack of oxygen, he could no longer think continuously.
"Am I going to die......"
A white light came at him, his consciousness becoming more and more blurred, and there was only one thought lingering in his mind.
Could it be that the soul will also die, isn't that the soul scattered?
"You're a master, but even a floating corpse puppet that hasn't landed on the ground can make you fall on the road, what should I say about you?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, and then someone held him up behind his back.
And just a moment before he completely lost consciousness, he saw a familiar face and a pair of more familiar eyes.
Ghost eyes, his ghost eyes.
Whew-
Bai Xiu sat up suddenly, and in an instant, a clear fragrance penetrated into his nose, making him clearly realize that he had really woken up.
His heart pounded violently, as if he had experienced a life-and-death battle.
"Brother, are you awake?!" Zheng Ruyi looked at in surprise, and then worried, "You scared me to death, told Uncle that you were in a coma for a day and a night, are you better now?"
"All day ......" Bai Xiu looked outside, it was already noon when he slept, but now it is morning, and it is indeed the next day.
He couldn't help but be a little distracted, could it be that everything before was that he had a strange dream?
"That's right. Zheng Ruyi handed something to him and said curiously, "What is this, you have been holding it in your hand?"
It's the iron plate...... Bai Xiu came back to his senses in an instant, and sure enough, all this was not a dream.
In this way, the person he saw before was also real, the person who looked exactly like him.
Maybe someone else would think it was Zheng Ruyi, but Bai Xiu himself would never be mistaken.
Those eyes were the biggest difference between him and Zheng Ruyi, and he didn't think that there was another person in the world who also looked like him who had also practiced ghost eyes.
All the clues point to a fact that is simply impossible - he saw himself.
Could it be that he is schizophrenic?
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zheng Ruyi's words interrupted his thoughts, and he shook his head and asked, "Is this incense what you ordered Xiang Bo to put in the room?"
"Did you find it?" Zheng Ruyi smiled, "This is the 'Spirit Rhino Incense', which can speed up the effect of the Three Corpses Rhino. ”
"...... like this" Bai Xiu didn't want to doubt him, but thought that it should be something else that caused him to leave his soul yesterday.
As a result, his suspicion of Xiang Bo's family was also lifted.
In fact, he knew last night that calculating that they would be unfavorable to him, and he would never let Xiang Yunsheng fall into such a dangerous situation.
Zheng Ruyi didn't notice his abnormality, and said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's better to go to the city at night, I heard that there is a lantern festival in the triangle square, it must be very lively." ”
Bai Xiu naturally didn't bother him with good intentions, but he was still worried: "The people of the three families, six factions and the special event team have all gathered in Pengcheng, I'm afraid it's ......."
"Don't worry. Zheng Ruyi smiled strangely, "They have already left." ”
"Left?" Bai Xiu was stunned, and then he reacted, could it be that something happened in Pengcheng when he was unconscious.
He was about to ask, but Zheng Ruyi said: "Don't think about this for the big holiday, we are finally reunited, we should be happy." ”
Bai Xiu didn't know what he was thinking, but he knew that Zheng Ruyi would not harm him, so he nodded.
The two talked for a while, and Xiang Yunsheng walked over in a hurry, looked at the door, and saw that he was awake, and said crisply: "Brother Bai, Uncle Zheng, grandpa asked me to call you to dinner." ”
Seeing that she was full of vitality, Bai Xiu suddenly relieved her heart, it seemed that yesterday did not affect her.
That floating corpse puppet should have been dealt with by that person as well, and he couldn't catch its breath at all now.
He thought about it and was about to answer, but Zheng Ruyi quietly gestured to him, signaling him not to speak, and said to the little girl with a smile: "Are you eating in the Chaohua Hall? ”
Bai Xiu noticed the same attitude towards him, and when Xiang Yunsheng left, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Ruyi motioned for him to hurry up and clean up, saying, "Can't wait, they already know that you are here, and it is no longer safe here." ”
Seeing his solemn expression, Bai Xiu didn't dare to delay, and said while cleaning up, "Who are they?"
"The Jiang family. Zheng Ruyi no longer concealed it, "Hmph, there is no good banquet, Jiang Yin's woman wants to take the opportunity to leave you." ”
