Chapter 31-1: The Wraith I
The Iron Guard and I stayed where we were. It's been a long time since the Stygian Flame entered the graveyard, and it hasn't come out yet. The sky was getting dark, and among the black and oppressive insect corpses all over the ground, the east and west were flickering with blue ghost fires. Yun Qian lit a fire on the ground, the dim light of the fire illuminated a small space in front of him, the light and shadow swayed leisurely on the ground, as if a ghost had climbed out of the grave, and the sound of firewood "crackling", the burning sound of fire, mixed with the sound of the wind, intertwined, made people feel uneasy. A dead tree in the cemetery was full of crows, and those who had nowhere to settle hovered in the air. The wind was gusting, the mass grave in front of me made people feel terrifying and weird, one crow was squeezed down by another to grab the territory, and let out a miserable scream, I was so frightened that my body trembled, and I only felt creepy. Why hasn't the Stygian Flame come out yet? Nothing will happen to him, right? I only felt that my heart was hanging in the air, and I regretted that I had not gone into the cemetery with him, and if I had been with him, I would have known what had happened to him, than to wait in fear and anxiety now.
Another crow was squeezed down the tree, screamed, and flapped its wings into the night sky. I bit my lip and decided, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
The guards looked at each other, said nothing, and approached the fire, each drawing a thick stick that was burning brightly, and escorting it to me. I took a deep breath, the medicine given by the Stygian Flame was really effective, and there was still not much fishy smell in the air I inhaled. A few people stepped into the corpses, and the goosebumps on my back suddenly came out of the goosebumps on my back. After staggering a few steps, Yun Qian suddenly said, "There is someone in front!" ”
I raised my eyes and looked over, it was dark and vast, and I couldn't see anything, but I heard Yun Qian's tone with two surprises: "It's Young Master Shen who is back!" ”
I hurriedly stared ahead, and after a while, I saw a hazy figure emerge from the darkness, and when I got closer, it was really a dark flame, but he didn't come back alone, he was still holding a person in his arms, and when his figure fell into the light of the torch, I saw him holding that person, and I couldn't help but exclaim: "Mr. Fu?" ”
His face was pale, his eyelids were weakly closed, he was covered in blood, his clothes had been rotten into strips of rags, and half of his body was devoid of flesh and skin, only a skeleton of flesh and blood remained. I covered my mouth and looked at him in disbelief, and said with Stygian Flame's eyes red, "Sister, let's go back to the carriage first." ”
I nodded quickly, Stygian Flame rushed forward quickly with him in his arms, I followed behind with one foot high and one foot low with the support of Tie Wei, and when Stygian Flame carried Mr. Fu into the carriage, I hurriedly said to Yun Qian: "Go back to the Hou Mansion quickly." ”
"Wait, sister." Wrath stopped, "Let's not hurry back, the road is too bumpy." Sister, come in, the master has something to tell you. ”
I hurriedly got into the carriage, Yun Qian lit the lantern and handed it in, hung on the top of the carriage, in the dim light, Mr. Fu's face was as white as purple, the bones of his left hand and left foot that had lost his flesh were strangely placed on the floor, his left shoulder to the pelvic bone was completely devoid of flesh and skin, and he could clearly see the rows of red hearts under the ribs with meat crumbs, and the intestines and other internal organs rolled out of the abdominal cavity, but there was not much blood coming out, and the blood was almost dry. Ordinary people were injured like this, and one life had already seen the king of Hades, but Mr. Fu still had a faint breath, I bit my lip, and said in shock and anger: "Who injured Mr. Fu like this?" Who did it? ”
Stygian Flame didn't answer, his hand kept on Mr. Fu's chest, and after a while, Mr. Fu's eyelids moved slightly, and he struggled to open his eyes. "Master?" "Mr. Fu?" I spoke at the same time as the Stygian Flame, Mr. Fu's eyes slowly turned, and when he saw me in the carriage, his eyes seemed to have a hint of relief, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound, and after a while, he struggled to make a faint voice like a mosquito and a fly: "Shao...... Madame......"
"Mr. Fu? Who is it? Who did it? Isn't that Maha? "I just felt a fire burning in my heart, my eyes were dry, and I couldn't shed a single tear. Mr. Fu's lips moved, and his voice was faint, I lowered my head and approached him: "What do you want to say?" ”
He rolled his eyes to the Stygian Flame, and said with difficulty, "Puppet...... Gu ......"
"Master!" Stygian's eyes were red, and he shook his head. Mr. Fu looked at him firmly, but he didn't know where the strength came from, the left hand, which was obviously no longer flesh and skin, actually raised it and grabbed the wrist of the Dark Flame, and urged hard: "Hurry up......"
Tears rolled down from the eyes of the Stygian Flame, he saw the resoluteness in Mr. Fu's eyes, gritted his teeth, wiped his face indiscriminately, loosened the buckle of the thick silver bracelet on Mr. Fu's right bowl, and then unscrewed the bracelet, but the bracelet turned out to be a hollow. Stygian Flame put the silver bracelet under Mr. Fu's nostrils, and I watched this scene for some reason, only to see a white fat meat worm slowly crawling out of the hollow bracelet, which looked a little like maggots, but it was the size of a silkworm, and its whole body was white and translucent. The big white worm looked around lazily for a moment, and slowly crawled into Mr. Fu's nostrils. I watched this scene with my mouth open, raised my eyes to the Stygian Flame, and saw him nervously staring at the big white worm that was desperately squeezing his fat body into Mr. Fu's nostrils, and he didn't dare to make a sound. I inexplicably became nervous, and my breathing slowed involuntarily. The big white worm finally squeezed all its body into Mr. Fu's nostrils, the dark flame breathed a long sigh of relief, Mr. Fu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, the big white worm crawled in for a while, Mr. Fu's faintly undulating heart exposed under the ribs of his left chest, suddenly the rhythm beat vigorously, as if he had been injected with a heart injection, which stimulated the heart that was about to be paralyzed to start working again.
I looked at the red beating heart in amazement, and I couldn't say a word. The black dragon jade on the neck jumped a little, and began to heat up again, my heart moved, the black dragon jade will only warn when it encounters evil things, since leaving the graveyard full of insect corpses, the temperature of the black dragon jade has begun to recede, and it is hot again, this Gu worm is not ...... I couldn't help touching the black dragon jade on my neck, especially in my thoughts, Mr. Fu suddenly opened his eyes, looked at me calmly, glanced at my neck lightly, coughed lightly, and opened his mouth to solve my doubts: "Young lady, I let the Dark Flame give me a puppet Gu, this Gu worm needs to feed on the heart, I will use it in exchange for the last half of the time to talk to you, so, what I say next, you must listen carefully." ”
He said this effortlessly, thinking that it was because of that puppet Gu. I nodded hurriedly, not daring to ask more, but only listened to him say: "Young lady, I was going to take the secret of Young Master Zheng's surrender into the coffin, and I am really sorry for hiding it from you for so long." ”
I quickly shook my head, I may have been a little resentful when I first heard that fact, but I didn't really blame Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu said with burning eyes: "The only purpose of Fu Mou's survival in this world all these years is just to find Maha to avenge his wife and children, but I didn't expect that I waited for twenty years, but I still can't fight Maha." The young lady is the only woman who has seen wisdom and perseverance in Fu's life, and Fu can't fulfill her wish, so please ask the young lady to complete it on Fu's behalf. ”
"I promise you." I nodded and cautiously promised, "This Maha is also my enemy, even if Mr. doesn't say it, I won't let him go." ”
Mr. Fu smiled slightly, as if he was very pleased: "Fu also wants to remind the young lady that this revenge is not easy to revenge." Back then, Maha was devoured by the surrender technique and was seriously injured, but I couldn't find him, as if he disappeared from this world out of thin air, and a few years later, he could still practice surrendering again unknowingly, harming Young Master Zheng, these things, if there was no very powerful person to help him, he would definitely not be able to do it alone. ”
I nodded, it seemed that Mr. Fu and I thought together: "Mr. thinks that Yun Tianqi was not the mastermind who harmed Yun Zheng back then, right?" That gentleman thinks that the second room of the Yun family is behind his power? ”
Mr. Fu shook his head and said softly: "When Yun Tianqi died suddenly, Master Hou always had doubts in his heart, but he only took into account the balance on the surface of the family, so he didn't pursue this matter again. However, Hou Ye has not given up the monitoring and control of the second room over the years, if the second room can produce a character who will protect Maha in the back, I am afraid it is unlikely. ”
"What do you mean, did they collude with outsiders back then?" My heart moved, the people in the second room are not stupid, knowing that the old man is staring at them, they dare to shield Maha without fear of death? I'm afraid that after the defeat, I will kill people immediately, and I will let Namaha live? If Erfang colluded with outsiders to harm Yun Zheng back then, this matter would make sense, then Mahath is the pawn of the person who is hidden behind the scenes, and he must be of great use to that person, so he can live well until now.
Mr. Fu smiled and did not answer, but I was sure in my heart. With sweaty palms in my hands, I took a breath, this matter seems to be getting more and more complicated, the more you investigate, the more people are involved, what kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this matter? According to Mr. Fu's speculation, the descent of Maha to General Lin must also be related to the force behind the scenes? My palms are a little moist, if the purpose of the person behind the curtain to General Lin is to target the emperor, then those things back then, pulling back and forth, seem to be related to the struggle for imperial power.
