Suddenly pushed off the cave, I fell all the way to a dizzy point. Fortunately, the graveyard was not too deep, but there were several bruises from the stones along the way.

"Senior brother! Are you okay? "Above my head, Lilac's face appeared at the exit of the big cave of the slap, shouting at me.

Hearing this, I couldn't get angry, needless to say, it must have been this girl who pushed me!

"Why don't you try to fall all the way?" I shouted at the top of my voice, "Pull me up!" ”

"Well, it seems that the head of the spirit is not bad." Lilac nodded at the entrance of the cave, and then shouted loudly, "Senior brother, you go inside, the treasure that can help you avoid the evil ghost breaking into the shop tonight is in the innermost part of the cave!" ”

Damn, then you can't just say it? Do you have to push me down?

I was a little speechless, and at the same time understood the reason for the mystery of Lilac along the way. No wonder I asked, this girl wouldn't tell me what to do, it turned out that she was going to stumble here.

"Senior sister, aren't you coming down?" I asked, tilting my head.

Lilac shook her head at the entrance of the cave and said, "The yin qi down there is too heavy, hurry up, I'll wait for you here." ”

"So what should I do?" I was speechless.

Lilac said, "Do you still have the tuckstone I gave you?" Just take it in your mouth and you'll be fine. ”

I looked back at the dark cave, took out the condensate in my pocket, put it in my mouth, and courageously walked deeper into the cave.

The air in the cavern was cold and cloudy, and there seemed to be no entrance or exit except for the patio-like entrance.

Thinking of the mound outside, I felt like I might be in a tomb. As soon as this thought came out, it suddenly made me feel even more uncomfortable.

"What treasures can there be in a place like this... Damn, this kind of hell place... There won't be zombies, right? ”

I subconsciously thought of some Hong Kong and Taiwan ghost movies I had watched before, and some movies had scenes where the protagonist bumped into a zombie in the tomb, and when I thought of my current situation, I couldn't help but shudder.

, scare yourself......

I shook my head, kept myself from getting cranky, and kept walking inside. Fortunately, this cave is not deep, and I don't know if it is really a burial chamber, and on the innermost stone platform, I saw a snow-white skeleton wrapped in cobwebs, lying on the stone platform.

When my eyes fell on the skeleton, my heart rate suddenly increased a lot, and I even subconsciously held my breath.

After waiting for a while, I was relieved to find that the white bones did not react in any special way, and there were no ghosts around.

I avoided the stone platform where the bones were kept, and carefully searched around, but I didn't see anything that looked like a treasure. I can't help but wonder in my heart, where is the baby that my sister said?

With doubts, I returned to the entrance and shouted at the top of my voice: "Senior sister, where is the baby you are talking about?" ”

My voice echoed through the hollow tomb, and Lilac's face appeared at the entrance of the cave, asking, "Didn't you see a white skeleton inside?" ”

"See..."Hearing Lilac's words, I suddenly realized something, and my face suddenly became ugly, "Senior sister, you don't want to say..."

"That white bone is a treasure." Lilac ruthlessly shattered the last trace of my illusion, a reluctant smile appeared on that beautiful face, and said as if encouraging, "That white bone is a bone essence that has been cultivated for thousands of years, you have to find a way to break one of its ribs." ”

… I'm special!

When I heard Lilac's words, I couldn't believe my ears and felt that either Lilac had said it wrong or I had heard it wrong.

Let me break a thousand-year-old rib? This skeleton is immortal for thousands of years, and it is not yet refined?

"Senior sister, are you kidding me?" I felt my voice tremble.

Lilac looked at me condescendingly, tried to hold back a smile, and said with a serious expression: "Senior brother, I am very serious. The only thing that can deter a hundred ghosts in this gourd mouth is this white bone skeleton that my master suppressed with the Seven Star Array. If you can break off one of its ribs, with its yin energy, it should be able to help you escape. ”

No, I'm afraid that I wasn't killed by the evil spirits, but by you first!

I wanted to cry without tears, of course, I didn't dare to say it. Seeing that Lilac was no joke at all, I had to brave myself to return to the tomb of the white skeleton.

After carefully pulling away the layers of cobwebs, a complete skeleton appeared in front of my eyes.

I am not a bone toucher, I didn't study medicine in college, I don't know anything about human skeletons, and I can't tell whether this skeleton is male or female when I was alive.

The snow-white skeleton showed no signs of molten cavern insect erosion, and was placed on the stone platform in a lying ceremony, perhaps not moved since the owner of the skeleton was buried.

It's just that no one thought that even the tomb had collapsed under the erosion of the years, but the skeleton was preserved intact to this day.

I whispered to the skeleton, 'I'm sorry, I'll give you back your ribs when I get through tonight.' With that, I solemnly bowed to the skeleton before attempting to break a rib from the skeleton.

To tell the truth, when I started, my hands trembled nervously, and when I touched the white bones, a cold breath immediately rushed into my arm, which made my whole body tremble, as if I was pinching not a bone, but a piece of ice that has not melted for thousands of years.

And then trying to break it off, it was harder than I thought. Maybe it's because after thousands of years of immortality, the seemingly ordinary white bones are as solid as a rock, and no matter how hard I try, I can't break one off.

In desperation, I tried the possible phalanges again, but there was no flesh and blood, but the phalanx and arm bones were still connected to the whole skeleton through joints.

I can't understand how this is done, but I can already be sure that it is impossible to get short.

When I reached for the ribs of the skeleton again, I was not paying attention, and my fingertips were punctured by a small hole in the bone spur at the tip of the rib. I subconsciously withdrew my hand, but a drop of bright red blood still dripped on the rib.

Tut......

I put my finger in my mouth and sucked it to stop the bleeding, reaching out and wiping the blood with my sleeve. But before I could wipe it off, the blood seeped into the bones and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I was stunned for a moment, and quickly rubbed my eyes to make sure I didn't look at the flowers.

Click.

A crisp cracking sound rang out in the silent tomb. The rib that dripped from the blood broke off of its own accord and landed on the stone bed with a clatter.

…… It's that simple?

Feeling incredulous, I looked up to see if the skeleton's spirit had appeared. But it was quiet, and there wasn't even a ghost except myself.

I carefully took the severed bone in my hand, took two steps back, and said 'thank you' to the white bone on the stone platform, regardless of whether it could hear it or not.

A dark wind blew in the tomb, causing countless cobwebs to flutter with it.

When I returned to the entrance with the broken bones, Lilac didn't know what she was doing, and I shouted several times at the bottom before she poked her head out.

"Senior brother, did you get it?"

"Got it, look." I showed the broken bones to Lilac, and Lilac's expression looked very surprised, and he looked at me a little surprised.

"Wait a minute, I'll pull you up."

Lilac threw down a rope and pulled me up from the tomb with some effort. I saw that she had planted six soul-fixing pillars with red strings next to the tomb, and had arranged some strange artifacts.

"Senior sister, what are you doing here?" I asked curiously.

Lilac sealed the last gap with a red rope, so that the red rope and the Soul Pillar completely enclosed the entrance to the tomb.

"I'm trying to prevent that thousand-year-old bone from escaping out at night." Lilac explained to me as she did it, "If it comes out, it is no exaggeration to say that my master may not be able to stop it when he comes!" ”

"Will it come out?" I was scared of a spirit.

Lilac looked at me like an idiot, and said as a matter of course: "Of course, when you wake up, you have one less rib, why don't you look for it?" ”

“… Damn, senior sister, then you still dare to fight its idea? Hearing Lilac's description, my face turned pale at that time, and at the same time, I looked at the formation arranged by Lilac with some anxiety and asked, "Senior sister, the formation you arranged... Is it reliable? ”

"How do you speak?" Lilac glared at me dissatisfied, "If it weren't for you being my junior brother, I wouldn't have bothered to care about your life or death!" And my array is handed down by the ancestors of the Lingmen, called the Liuhe Lock Ghost Array, Ling! Although it may not be able to trap him, it shouldn't be a big problem to stay overnight. As long as you survive tonight, come over tomorrow and give him back the ribs, and everything will be fine. ”

"That's... Senior sister, what if you can't trap it this time? "I swallowed hard and felt like I was holding a ticking time bomb in my hand!

Unexpectedly, Lilac was silent for a moment, then reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and said seriously and sadly: "If you can't trap him, then Senior Sister won't forget to burn some paper money for you next year." ”

Hearing this familiar and irresponsible sentence, I silently pronounced a '' in my heart.

Yes, asking is equivalent to not asking and not talking, but it is even more scary!

But for now, I have no other way but to hope that Lilac's array can play a role and deal with tonight's evil ghost shop.

With a feeling of unease, night gradually fell.

During this time, I thought about it a lot, and after several hesitations, I finally went to Lilac's room and told her what happened in Zhangjia Village after she left.

Sun Hong is her uncle, and I can't hide this from her.

Lilac was curious about how I left Zhangjia Village, but she was more concerned about helping me survive the evil ghost's shop, so she didn't ask today.

However, after hearing what I said about Shui Jiao, she was shocked, and immediately couldn't sit still, and wanted to leave Hulukou and go back to Xiangxi to find her master.

"Senior brother, this matter is too involved, I have to go back to Xiangxi." Lilac looked at me with a flickering look in her eyes and hesitation.

I know what she's worried about, tonight is the night the demons have broken in, and if I can't get through it, when she returns, she might see my corpse.

I smiled, patted the small box containing the broken bones, and said, "Senior sister, you can go, your junior brother has a big life." ”

“… Two days if it's fast, three days if it's slow, and I'll be back. Lilac looked at me hesitantly, hesitantly, "It's really not good... You just close the door and hold out until I come back. ”

I dropped her off at the station, and before leaving, Lilac suddenly turned around and hugged me hard before turning away.

Looking at that shadow, I was a little distracted for a while.

Three days... Two days as slow... I might only have one night, right?

In the evening, I came to the old shop at No. 101 Ximen Street, and with a creak, the door of the shop was opened, and a light was lit on the dark street.

Jingle bells.

The brass bell under the plaque made a crisp sound, and at eleven o'clock, a gust of wind blew in, making the lights flicker!
