Chapter 498: Sacrifice
"What?" Li Wugui's brows furrowed, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he thought that he had misheard, who was so frustrated that he could do it to a child who was less than ten years old.
Yan Feiyang nodded and said, "I guess it has nothing to do with the mysterious person, and their plan needs the boy's soul." I guess they didn't have the ability to retrieve souls, so they simply took the boy's life without doing anything. ”
Li Wugui gasped very cooperatively.
He knew that there were so many of them in the world that he couldn't even call them "people." But Li Wugui still underestimated them, these people would actually attack a child less than ten years old for themselves.
"What do they want their souls for?"
Li Wugui was still a little puzzled, the boy was so young, what could his soul be used for? So many people who have died, do they have to take the life of a healthy child?
"You can only know this if you open the cemetery. It's all just speculation now, and you can see some of it from these circles. The boy's soul was extracted and kept here. The other party's purpose in doing this must have something to do with the old man's soul. ”
Yan Feiyang and Li Wugui spoke their minds.
This is the conclusion that Yan Feiyang got from breaking the magic circle all the way and reasoning.
Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, because the conclusive evidence is in the tomb under the tombstone, Yan Feiyang has not continued to be worse, so it is just speculation for the time being.
Even if it is speculation, Yan Feiyang also has information, and there should not be much discrepancy between the content of his reasoning and the truth of the matter.
The reason why Yan Feiyang is so confident is because he has thoroughly understood the thoughts and behavior of the mysterious person. What he had to do next was easier.
No matter what problems he encounters, as long as Yan Feiyang assumes that he thinks from the perspective of a mysterious person, the other party's plan can be called out.
If the mysterious person knew that his mind had been seen through, he probably wouldn't believe it if he was killed. Originally, they were condescending bystanders.
But gradually, the roles on both sides have been reversed, and Yan Feiyang has invisibly begun to change from passive to active.
"Why him?"
Li Wugui's eyes kept looking at the boy when he said this, but the boy's expression was dull and he couldn't respond to him. Li Wugui sighed slightly, a little remorseful and a little sad.
"Because of the eight characters."
Yan Feiyang said these four words lightly.
He knew that Li Wugui didn't mean to let someone else replace him, but that there were so many people who died normally every day, and it was not difficult to collect souls.
And to be honest, it's simpler than taking people's lives and taking souls, Li Wugui can't figure out what the purpose of the mysterious man is, he has to take the boy's life, and even at the expense of the near and far.
If nothing else, let's just say that this cemetery is the best place to take souls.
Of course, no matter what the other party's reason is, the matter of taking the soul itself is inhumane, and there is nothing to say at all, and it is not too much to beat him to death with a stick.
Li Wugui didn't understand, he also tried to guess, and naturally thought that there would be something special about the boy's identity, so he would be unlucky to be targeted by a mysterious person.
The facts are indeed somewhat similar to Li Wugui's speculation.
Yan Feiyang's words can be regarded as verifying what Li Wugui thinks. It turned out to be related to the boy's life, after all, Yan Feiyang had already mentioned the eight characters.
The only one Li Wugui knew was the one Yan Feiyang mentioned just now, the second day of October in the year of the Emperor. That is the date that Yan Feiyang said was written on the tombstone.
"Is there anything wrong with this time?"
Li Wugui has been by Yan Feiyang's side for so long, the other party never talks nonsense, and what he is best at is to express the complete meaning with the fewest words.
Li Wugui was also a little anxious, he must have reacted to what was going on in his usual life, but now his mind was very messy, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Yan Feiyang knew the eight characters, which was undoubtedly the icing on the cake. It's just a few simple numbers for ordinary people, but it's different when it comes to Yan Feiyang.
Yan Feiyang could get all the information he wanted from a few numbers, everything about this eight-character master.
"The eight characters are pure yin, golden life, and water is prosperous. To the yin body, the yin qi is extremely heavy. ”
This time was no exception, when Yan Feiyang explained to Li Wugui, he was also concise and to the point. A few words and a sentence summarize the boy's personality.
"Even you said this was the date on that tombstone, maybe it's not a boy?"
Li Wugui reacted almost immediately, and he had already asked before he had time to think about it.
Li Wugui regretted it the moment he said this, he also knew that he was a little strong, he knew Yan Feiyang's ability better than anyone else, and he also knew that Yan Feiyang would never make a mistake in this kind of thing.
So Li Wugui's question is asked knowingly. Since Yan Feiyang has already spoken, it means that he is already sure enough.
But Li Wugui still had a trace of luck in his heart, he didn't see any clues from the boy's face, and the other party turned out to be a pure yin life.
It was really unexpected for Li Wugui.
Now everything seems to be easily strung together, and Li Wugui's confused brain gradually becomes clear.
Although he is guilty, the boy is too innocent. Just because it was the pure yin body brought by the eight characters that he couldn't choose, he had to bear it all, and even gave his life for it.
It was so unfair, the boy didn't do anything wrong at all, and he probably didn't know what was going on until now.
How can a child who is less than ten years old know what the eight characters are, let alone the pure yin body.
And Li Wugui had a conjecture in his heart that was getting stronger and stronger, he thought of the time he had spent with the boy before, and the boy's various performances were telling Li Wugui that the other party didn't realize that he might be dead.
This feeling was very strong, and Li Wugui carefully recalled the boy's performance and every move with concern, and he became more and more sure of his conjecture.
There is a basis for Li Wugui to think so, even he almost thought that the boy was a normal person, let alone the boy himself.
If Yan Feiyang hadn't mentioned it before, Li Wugui would have reacted, and he had almost forgotten that the boy was just a soul body.
When Yan Feiyang saw Li Wugui's tangled appearance, he could guess his thoughts.
Although they didn't get along with the boy for long, the boy was cheerful and lively, and he was so sensible that both of them treated each other as younger brothers.
At this time, there are so many things about the boy's life experience at once, and it is normal for Li Wugui to have such a reaction.
Li Wugui immediately adjusted his mentality, and he also knew that his emotions were too delayed. After gradually calming down, Li Wugui's face showed a look of confusion again.
What he suddenly thought of just now was that when Yan Feiyang summoned the boy out at the beginning, Li Wugui was very sure that the other party was a soul body, and he was a little disappointed why he was such a weak guy.
But then I don't know what's going on, Li Wugui slowly forgot that the boy is a soul body, and when they get along, they completely treat each other as ordinary children.
Li Wugui recalled from his memory when he had forgotten that the boy was a soul.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and Li Wugui seemed to have captured something in his memory. His tone was a little agitated, but he tried to suppress it and try to make his tone sound as normal as possible.
"Isn't he a soul? Why can we all run into him? ”
When Li Wugui said this, his eyes never left Yan Feiyang. After speaking, he stopped and waited patiently for the other party's answer.
Not only did he recall his actions just now, but he also thought of Yan Feiyang.
Li Wugui remembered very well that when Yan Feiyang pulled out the soul suppression nail before, the boy's reaction was a little wrong, and he seemed to be completely unable to stand that level of vibration.
There was no other way, Li Wugui had no choice but to bring up the other party. The boy felt better, and the tremors in his body were not so strong.
Li Wugui still remembered that the boy smiled gratefully at him, and the behavior of the wooden man was completely different from the two of them, and this face seemed to be able to make such a vivid expression again.
And it's not just Li Wugui, the boy cried bitterly because he couldn't remember his life experience before, and it was Yan Feiyang who wiped the boy's tears with his handkerchief.
If the boy is really a soul body, then how did Yan Feiyang do it? And the boy took the handkerchief and put it away.
The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became, and Li Wugui's mind was about to mess up again.
All of the boy's performances convey one thing, he is not an ordinary soul body, he is no different from a normal person.
At least Li Wugui could feel that the boy was different from the other guys in the cemetery. Although since the boy appeared, those guys have completely disappeared.
Yan Feiyang's eyes sank slightly, and he said, "This may have something to do with the cinnabar mark on his body." ”
Yan Feiyang, who Li Wugui said, was already suspicious, but when he didn't see the mark on the boy's arm, he thought it was the problem with the tombstone.
Or maybe it's some kind of trap deliberately set by a mysterious person.
It's just that now the possibility of the latter is very small. According to Yan Feiyang's speculation, the mysterious man didn't even know about the boy's existence.
The mysterious man originally thought that all the boy's souls were pressed in the tomb, and he couldn't escape no matter what, and the magic circle was also for the purpose of nourishing the soul and strengthening the existence of yin qi, and the mysterious man would definitely not release the most important soul.
So the appearance of the boy was a coincidence from the beginning. And by mistake, he was summoned by Yan Feiyang with the Secret Technique.
The boy who was summoned seemed to be very confused, Li Wugui still remembered the expression on the other party's face at that time, and seemed to be hostile to Yan Feiyang and Li Wugui, the two uninvited guests.
Li Wugui only now understands that since then, there have been many things that have gone wrong.
The boy was summoned by Yan Feiyang by casting the Secret Technique, Yan Feiyang should be like a master to him, not only must he absolutely obey Yan Feiyang's orders, no matter how he is, he should not have such an obvious expression. (To be continued.) )
