Ah Luan is alive again.

But the other two had a cloud over their faces. Shanhai secretly blamed himself, and couldn't stop sighing, why did he lose such an important thing? And throw it into that well. He has never been a sloppy person, maybe he is used to messing around with them on weekdays, so he relaxed.

Rin Michicho didn't mean to shirk his responsibility. Right now, the most important thing is to find a way to find the pen. At noon, they discussed and tied a rope around Shanhai's waist and tied a bell. Mu Wan dragged that head and watched him perform a throwing into the well.

It's not that I'm afraid that I won't be able to come up, but I'm afraid that there will be no movement below, so Mu Wan can judge whether to go down to find him.

The well was very deep, perhaps because there was no water. It's dark and cold underneath, and it doesn't mean summer at all. He cast a spell to light the torch in his hand, and found it too empty. At least two people can reach the wall of the well, and below is a cave that cannot be fully illuminated by torches, and it is pitch black.

He tentatively searched around. The rope wasn't long, and he couldn't go far. Everywhere the fire went, it was empty.

Reaching the limit length of the rope, he suddenly tripped over something, but was immediately pulled by the rope. The bell rang for a while, and Mu Wan shouted loudly from above.

"It's okay—"

His voice came from below, but there was no response. Mu Wan could also guess that this was much bigger than they thought.

"Come on, Shanhai," Luan shouted with his hands to his lips, "the rope has to break here—"

Bah.

Shanhai ignored her and lowered the torch. He saw that the stone that had stumbled him was strangely shaped, half of it was buried in the earth, revealing a grayish-white patch.

It's bones, yes.

He wanted to pull it out, but it was hard, and the other part was buried deeply. He was about to give up when a cool breeze blew from nowhere, but it was not strong, but it just happened to blow out the torches. Thinking of Fang Cai Aluan's heartless advice, he also faintly felt bad in his heart. Walking to the bottom of the well, he quickly went up.

"Nope." He shook his head regretfully.

The three of them walked back into the house disappointed, ready to discuss new countermeasures. As soon as he entered the door, the familiar figure of Jiyue-kun sat at the table again.

Mu Wan has no good temper: "Unpredictable." Why do you always think about us and watch jokes? ”

With that, she slammed the rope the table and sat aside. Jiyuejun put the black cloth back on, glanced sideways in her direction, and covered her head a little.

"Ouch, what's going on, what a big temper."

Shanhai didn't speak, only Ah Luan answered, and the pen was lost.

This answer was something that Jiyue-kun had not expected.

“…… There are yours. Where's the loss? ”

"In that well, the mountains and seas dragged down the crazy bones, and when I came up again, the pen was gone." Luan said.

"Do you have anything else, the token on Liangyue-kun?" Shanhai asked him.

Jiyue-kun shook his head.

"I'll find you somewhere. Crazy bones? Is there really a monster in this village? ”

"It's not that you are impermanent, you can't work hard, but you can throw the mess at us." Mu Wan is still not angry.

"It's wronged," Jiyuejun spread out his sleeves, "Decades ago, this area was full of Maoyue-kun's activities, even if something went wrong, it's no wonder that I'm on my head." That lord hasn't condemned me yet, but it's not appropriate for you to count me down! Besides, we are in charge of people's affairs, and as long as this monster doesn't make a big mess and hurt too many people, we can't control it. ”

There was silence at the table for a while, and no one knew what to say.

A few people stared dryly, just like this, Shanhai frowned, and stopped talking.

"Maybe, well, it's not really impossible to ......"

The three men looked at him again.

"I heard of such a person in Xuanzheng Town this morning...... He can serve hundreds of corpses, and he can also touch bones to recognize people. ”

"Is there such a person? It's just a legend. ”

"What are you talking about, but the Lord of the Hundred Bones has no abandonment?"

As soon as Jiyue-kun answered, both of them stared at him.

"You know?"

"Oh, not really, but I've heard about it. He is very famous, and decades ago was suspected of being involved in the retreat of the yokai. However, his reputation among the yokai is much greater. They said that he only liked to do business with youkai, and even the barrier of the weeping corpse house was laid for the living. It's not true that what you said is enduring, but this is a good person...... It's only people who can recognize, but demons can't. ”

"That is, it's true?" Dai Luan asked.

"Then go and see him, try your luck? Although it sounds, he is not a good parry master. ”

Mu Wan thought so, and looked at the mountains and seas again. Shanhai said that he had also heard his methods. So the two of them drew closer and began to discuss how to go to the Lord of the Hundred Bones. Jiyuejun's wrist propped up his face, feeling bored, and waved his sleeves at Ah Luan to beckon her over.

"Luan'er, do you know why Xuanzhen Town is called Xuanzhen Town?"

"Who can say for sure? Isn't it just a name, maybe the first person to come up with a name thinks about it. ”

"Not necessarily. Just like your Dailuan City, it was originally named after that distant mountain. And you, the amazing bird. Moreover, your master, who was born in the sea and grew up in the mountains, has this name. ”

"Then why isn't he called Haishan?"

You ask him to go, Master.

- It didn't seem appropriate to answer like this, Jiyue-kun thought about it for a while, and said:

"For him, the meaning of his growth is more important than his origin."

"And what is Polar Moon Monarch? December? ”

"That's right, I did die in Layue. But guess what, why is Xuanzhen Town the name? ”

"I don't know." She replied very simply.

Jiyue-kun changed his side hand and continued to support his face.

"In this Xuanzhen Town, the rice that grew in the past was all black. Whether it is a native or a native of the country, or the white rice and wheat brought from other places, as long as it bears ears on this land, it will become black. However, it seems that eating it is not harmful to people. It won't be that anymore. ”

"So, an ear of wheat?"

"It's not that simple. Originally, people didn't live there, they moved from somewhere else. At that time, there were always demons doing evil in this area during the New Year's holidays, and people called him 'Zhen'. This demon is terrifying, and the demon power is extremely strong, and no one can do anything about him. Later, an onmyoji named Seventh Twilight suppressed it and sealed it in a well - of course, it was much more powerful than the youkai in the backyard. Twilight had people build a shrine on it, suggesting that people build a village and use yang energy to suppress it. At first, people didn't dare to do it, but after that, the wind and rain were smooth, and people felt that his words should be believed, so they slowly gathered around there. ”

"And then there's Xuanzhen Town?"

"Yes. The town has developed rapidly, from the time it was sealed to the present, but it has only been more than a hundred years. ”

"What about Onmyoji?"

"It's been reincarnated a long time ago, but his descendants have been guarding the shrine. But thirty years ago, the youkai broke through the seal, and although it was suppressed, the shrine's priests and shrine maidens suffered heavy casualties, and the corpses could not be identified. Legend has it that the last person to see standing on the ruins of the shrine was the Lord of the Hundred Remains. ”

"Wow......"

As soon as it got dark, Jiyue-kun left. It's not that Mu Wan hasn't moved the idea of letting Jiyue Jun find someone for them, but if he asks him, she really can't get over it, not to mention that he may not agree. Shanhai felt that he was at fault for this matter, and it was inconvenient to trouble others.

He has already negotiated with Miss Liangqiu, and he will leave tonight. She actually suggested that he rest for another day, but the business was not settled, and he couldn't sleep well. He said that he would go first, and that they would wait for him at the inn early tomorrow morning. He talked to the Lord of the Hundred Bones, and he would go after them.

In the morning, he went to the white of the fish belly on the horizon, who would have thought that on the same day, he would go to the smudged ink again. When he arrived at the mass grave on the edge of Xuanzheng Town, there was already a vast starry sky in the sky.

The scale of this mass grave is really not small, and it is indeed worthy of its name as far as the eye can see. There are no tombstones, and even if there are, they are cheap, monumental stones, with shallow words carved on them, which are difficult to read.

There are white bones everywhere, in addition to people, there are also some strangely shaped bones, but there are a few intact ones. Maybe it's buried too shallowly, and it's all dug out by nearby animals. When he first arrived, several vicious dogs approached him aggressively, with fierce eyes.

These little monsters who have eaten human flesh are very ferocious, but they are afraid of fire no matter how they say. Rin Michicho simply lit a charm, and the dazzling red light scared them away. There was only phosphorus fire here, and the faint blue and green flames burned irregularly, and soon disappeared, and then ignited in another place, as if there was life or something.

It was too difficult to find a coffin, and most of these bones were discarded at random, and no one bought them. Is it difficult to dig three feet into the ground? This is too unkind, and it is detrimental to yin morality. He stepped over the broken bones and finally saw a coffin on the outside. He apologized, lifted the lid of the coffin, and prepared himself to see a highly decomposed corpse – just think of it, to lie down all night, what a death!

However, when he lifted the lid, he found nothing.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart if this coffin had been put down by the Lord of the Hundred Bones himself. Because it's old, it's still clean. The dust is there, but at least there is no terrible smell, it is nothing more than lying in it, and the diaphragm should be in the heart.

Rin Shanhai really lay down in the coffin.

The base plate is strong, but it's also hard. Although he is not the type who can't sleep without a mattress, the atmosphere, and the troubles that happen, really can't make it so easy for him to sleep. He sat up again and again, wondering whether to close the lid of the coffin. Cover it, I'm afraid of stuffiness, don't cover it, I always feel unsteady.

After thinking about it, he pulled the coffin board up, leaving a thin slit. From this crack, you can just see the sky full of stars.

In the distance, there were the strange cries of the little monsters, and from time to time there was a terrible wolf howl. But he hadn't slept well much last night, and he was so sleepy after a day of intense mental stress. He only felt his eyelids slowly sink and sleepiness welling up. He used to always say that Ah Luan had a big heart, but now that he thinks about it, he can be sleepy in this kind of place, and he is also very powerful.

Thinking about it, he really fell asleep.

"The child is so old."

"yes, they're all that big."

In his dream, he vaguely heard two voices that were strange and familiar. One man and one woman, one singing and one harmonizing.

But he couldn't see their faces clearly.
