After coming up, I realized that the upper end of this cliff was actually a cave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Those ghost birds have disappeared at this time, but I am still very cautious, for fear that there are other ghosts hidden in this cave.
I made a decision to hide and quickly walked into the cave.
I held my breath for a long time until I was sure that there was nothing in it, and then I dared to recite another fire spell.
My spiritual power was weak, so I could only light a small flame, and by the light of the small flame, I finally saw the scene in the cave clearly.
I gasped.
I saw that this cave was full of children.
And every child is tied to a wooden boat.
I quickly recognized that the outermost children were the same ones who had been caught by ghost birds by the lake before.
There are so many children in this cave that I can count them in the hundreds.
Looking at this number, it is obvious that these ghost birds are not only catching people in the village chief where we stayed before, but I am afraid that there are several other villages that will send children like this on a regular basis.
I first tested the snorts of the children, and I was glad to find that they were all alive, but they had fallen into a deep sleep as if they were hibernating, and their breathing was very slow and steady.
I had one thing in mind, and I quickly took the flame and looked at the door of the cave, the children who had just been caught.
Soon, I found the kid I was looking for.
I gathered the flame next to him and looked at his face carefully for a long time, only to feel a click in my heart.
Sure enough, I wasn't mistaken.
I've seen this kid.
At the same time, as I confirmed the identity of the child in front of me, I immediately understood what these children were used for.
Or rather, I realized who the people behind those ghost birds were.
It's the Ye family.
Of course, I could not have seen this child, who was born nine hundred years before me, but I had seen his corpse.
Nine hundred years later, I saw his corpse in the Ye family's old mansion, in the stalactites at the bottom of the well.
He was one of the thousands of children who were killed by the Ye family and used to perform the soul rejuvenation technique.
At the beginning of the Ye family's old house, Rong Qi broke a stalactite, and we saw a child's corpse painted with charms, which was the child in front of us.
At the beginning, the scene was so shocking that I was so frightened that the child's face has always been deeply engraved in my mind.
When I was at the lake just today, I recognized it at a glance.
I really didn't expect to travel back nine hundred years ago and see this child alive.
That's why I'm so desperate, I want to follow the ghost bird, just to confirm the identity of this child.
Now, I'm sure.
The Ye family originally practiced that soul rejuvenation technique and found countless children, and the way they collected children turned out to be to use those ghost birds.
I looked at the children in front of me, and suddenly I felt a particularly helpless sadness in my heart.
I know I can't save these children.
I, the traverser, am just a bystander to all this, and what I do can't change the outcome of these children's mortal death.
The only thing I can do is to think about how to start with these children, peel back the cocoon, and find out who the Ye family is going to resurrect this time.
I was watching the children ponder when I suddenly heard a slight noise outside the cave.
My face changed suddenly, and I didn't dare to go out, so I had to quickly scan the inside of the cave.
Fortunately, I saw a raised boulder, and I immediately crouched under the stone and hid there.
I extinguished the small flame in my hand, and the whole cave was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Soon, I heard a cold sound of footsteps.
Immediately after, a ball of fire came slowly from the door of the cave.
When I saw the person who came in at this time, my face changed.
How could it be him?
The person who entered the cave at this time was the man in the white robe that I had met twice before.
I hid behind a rock and silently slapped myself on the skull.
Idiot, Shu Qian, you should have thought that in this wilderness, why would a person from the Xuanmen happen to appear?
He must have come for this cave of the Ye family, just like me.
But I don't understand, what is the identity of this man, and what is the purpose of coming to this cave?
Is he here to save these children? Or is he a member of the Ye family?
As I was thinking about it, I saw a man in a white robe, holding a lamp and slowly scanning the children in the cave, as if looking for something.
Soon, he stopped searching, picked up one of the children, and slowly walked out of the cave
I was stunned.
This man only took one child, so he came here to save this child?
Then he shouldn't be the Ye family, right?
I was curious, and I couldn't help but poke my head out as I lay behind the stone where I was hiding.
I don't want to follow my movements, and a small piece of gravel on the stone is touched by me.
Click.
The stone rolled down.
I turned pale with fright.
Just when I was depressed that I had exposed my figure, I didn't want the white-robed man to be still very calm, just facing my direction, and smiled faintly: "You are also there?"
I was stunned.
The man greeted him so calmly, as if the place where we met now was a restaurant or restaurant.
Wrong.
I suspect that as soon as he came in, he knew I was behind the rock, but he was too lazy to dismantle me.
Thinking of this, I walked out a little embarrassed and coughed lightly: "Well, what are you doing here?"
"It's obvious. The man gestured to the child on his shoulder, "Take him away." ”
It turned out that he really came to save the child.
"What does this child have to do with you?" I glanced at the child, who was very delicate, and suddenly my mind opened, "Could it be your son?"
The white-robed man was stunned.
The next second, he snorted.
"You're really funny. He didn't deny it, he didn't admit it, he just looked at me with a little more inquiry in his eyes, "You haven't told me yet, why are you here?"
I didn't like it, and he looked at me like an object.
But after all, I couldn't say anything, so I could only answer half-truthfully: "I just want to investigate to see who took these children." ”
"Really?" the man raised an eyebrow, "Do you have an answer?"
I didn't know anything about this man's identity, so of course I wouldn't tell the Ye family, but I just asked, "Then do you know?"
"Of course I do. The man smiled widely, "I know what they are looking for these children for." ”
I was awe-struck and deliberately asked, "For what?"
