"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." The second Fu Jitian took a sip of wine, and listened to him read: "Wine is drunk by confidants, and poems are sung to people." ”

After saying that, he patted the fourth child's arm, and the meaning was obvious.

The fourth Fan Ming coughed lightly, and also said: "When you sing about wine, life is geometric." ”

After the fourth child finished reading, he looked at the old man, and said a little embarrassed: "Senior, say a few words?" ”

The old man laughed: "Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." ”

The old five Zhong Yi next to him said: "Don't laugh at the farmer's wine, and stay in the harvest year to stay with chickens and dolphins." ”

After that, the fifth child glanced at the third child and said, "Third child, your language level is not good, if you can't do it, you can be the next one." ”

When the third Zhang Guojie heard this, he snorted twice: "Don't underestimate people, listen to them." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head a few times, opened his mouth and read: "Grape Wine World Cup, if you want to drink pipa, people are urged." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and the fourth Fan Ming laughed even more, and said: "There are many ugly people, and if you meet you on the road in the future, don't say you know me, your uncle." ”

Looking at the smiles one by one, Zhang Guojie also knew that he was wrong, but he did not repent, and said forcefully: "I read modern poetry, it is terrible that you are uneducated." ”

When everyone heard this, they leaned back and turned back with laughter.

After eating and drinking, while smoking a cigarette, he listened to the old man's eloquent conversation: "Alas, I haven't been happy for many years, and in this ghost place, there is no one to talk to except the old dog in Vicious Dog Ridge who can talk to me a few words." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the fourth Zhang Guojie said: "Senior, you don't know, a few days ago, there was an accident on the side of the Vicious Dog Ridge, and a group of Minotaurs launched an attack on the vicious dogs, and even the Vicious Dog Prophet was seriously injured, if we didn't happen to pass by to help, maybe the vicious dogs would have been slaughtered." ”

The old man wiped the oil stains on his mouth with his hand and said, "Alas, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, and it is impossible to be alone." ”

When the eldest Sun Xiaobo heard this, he asked: "Senior, in this world, there is no one else in this world except for you?" ”

"It's not really, it's just that this is the place of exile of the Netherworld, and if you want to come here, you have to cross the Withered Dragon Mountains, and if you don't have any ability, you really don't dare to break into it. It's just that it's often unexpected, the people who come here to hunt for treasures are just some cultivators with mediocre strength, and the powerful ones have never been encountered by the old decay. ”

"Cultivator? Is it someone as powerful as you? The third Zhang Guojie blurted out.

The old man smiled: "I'm here, and the Tao is still far away." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, as if remembering something, and continued: "I haven't been back for fifty or sixty years, and I don't know what it looks like now. ”

Lao Wu Zhongyi drank some wine, and he began to talk more: "Then don't you go back and take a look, everything has changed a lot now, it will definitely open your eyes." ”

The old man smiled: "The worldly red dust, you deceive me, why bother to trouble, if you stay in this ghost place for a long time, you don't want to go back and be embarrassed." ”

Everyone was full of curiosity about the world and asked their doubts.

Or maybe he is too lonely, he is depressed in his heart and no one complains, or he is too happy, and he wants to speak freely with emotion in his heart.

This wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, and it is unbearable to look back on the memories of the youth.

After a few sips of high-grade liquor, the old man in front of him chattered about his life experience.

He was born during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, probably because he was born with a disability and could not speak.

When he was five years old, his father died of illness, his mother remarried, and then, his uncle abandoned him at the door of a dilapidated Taoist temple.

When he was eight years old, he almost lost his life because of a serious illness. In the end, the catastrophe did not die, and because of the blessing of misfortune, the dumb man's disease disappeared.

On the fifth day of junior high school when he was young, he often followed his master to walk the rivers and lakes, and often went in and out of the Yin-Yang Ghost Market to eat.

The so-called reading 10,000 books is better than traveling 10,000 miles.

After the death of the elderly master, the fifth day of the first month, who traveled all over the world, met several like-minded people by chance.

By chance, these Qimen knights got acquainted with a black-clothed Taoist friend. According to this black-clothed Taoist friend, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, at the end of the Yin and Yang Ghost City, in the Nether Mansion, another ghost world will appear.

According to legend, in the world of ghosts, there is an ancient tomb, where countless immortals have fallen. And here, at the same time, there are countless magic weapons and immortal books, as long as they can find one or two, in the future, they will definitely be able to understand the Tao and fly immortals in the daytime.

Under the instigation of this black-clothed Taoist friend, these Qimen knights who were stunts soon entered the Three Realms Ghost Domain.

However, when these Qimen people came to the Dry Bone Forest, they found out that all this was a scam, and the black-clothed Taoist friends deceived them.

After a life-and-death struggle, several Taoist friends were killed one after another. If it weren't for the fact that a Taoist friend surnamed Shi gave up his life to save him, he finally escaped death on the fifth day of the junior high school under the pseudonym Guangmiao Daoren, but he was the only one who survived. This is why the old man takes such care of the juniors of the Shi family.

After coming out of the Three Realms Ghost Domain, Guangmiao Daoist met another noble person in his life, a monk who had attained Taoism. After a few conversations, he worshiped under his disciple to practice Buddhism, assumed the name of the Three Virtues Monk, and hoped to seek a breakthrough from the vast books.

Perhaps out of guilt and resentment, the monks of Sande after becoming famous often traveled back and forth between the Yin and Yang worlds.

As his fame grew, worldly things were constantly disturbed, so the old man simply stayed in the Three Realms Ghost Domain, kept himself alone, and participated in the Buddha's enlightenment to avenge the revenge of the year.

It's just that the way of heaven is slim, how can a mere ordinary man and ordinary person understand it?

After listening to the old man's self-disclosure, everyone was also embarrassed.

After a full meal and a rest, everyone rested in place for the night. Early the next morning, at the kind invitation of the old man, the seven stayed for another two days.

At the time of parting, the old man told everyone in a serious voice that the forest of dry bones they had gone to was called the tomb of the gods by the cultivators.

In that catastrophe 10,000 years ago, countless cultivators were buried in this forest of dry bones.

There are many down-and-out cultivators there who will cross this Dry Dragon Mountain Range and enter the Dry Bone Forest to try their luck, hoping to find one or two magic weapons that have been lost here, in an attempt to turn over.

It's just that they basically came after hardships, and in the end they returned disappointed, and some of them became a pile of dry bones in the dry bone forest. This is also the reason why the old man has been here for so long, and he has only met a few cultivators.

In addition to the magic weapon that is difficult to find, the environment here is even more peculiar, the entire mountain range is withered, the barren rocks are exposed, there are many monsters and ghosts, and there are countless corpses.

It is said that there is also a great demon king sleeping here, known as the Dry Bone Demon King.

According to legend, the predecessor of this Dry Bone Demon Lord was an extremely powerful cultivator, although the flesh and bones were dry, but its grievances were difficult to calm and the soul was immortal, and after being buried in the tombs of the gods, it continued to absorb the endless grievances here, and the soul and its remnants were fused into one, turning into an iron and bronze body, invulnerable Dry Bone Demon Lord.

The Dry Bone Demon Lord fed on all the essence of life, and wherever he passed, the living beings were devastated, and there was no grass, and he was taboo by many cultivators at that time, and they strangled him one after another.

Since the Dry Bone Demon Lord was transformed by resentment, immortal and immortal, it was difficult to completely destroy it, so he laid out a large formation and trapped it in the Dry Bone Forest forever, removing a scourge.

Under the guidance of the old man, the seven-member team marched rapidly in the direction indicated on the map, and finally came to the edge of the dry bone forest before dark on the third day.

The scenery in front of him was exactly what the old man described, and under the dim sky, the whole mountain range was eclipsed.

Looking at the picture in front of him, Shi Yijian's heart couldn't help but tremble, and the nightmare that had been lingering suddenly surged in his mind, the old man who was tied under the dead tree by a big iron chain, was it in this dry bone mountain?

The eldest Sun Xiaobo looked at the tired and unenergetic appearance of everyone, and knew that they were all too tired, so he said to everyone: "The destination of our trip is already in front of us, everyone have a good night's rest, recuperate, and tomorrow morning, take down the dragon head wood." ”

Everyone sat around the campfire, and after a hurried meal, they began to rest and chat.

The third Zhang Guojie took out a pack of cigarettes left and said: "Come, everyone have one, a cigarette after dinner, like a fairy, after smoking this pack, there will be no stock, I will bring more if I knew it." ”

The second Fu Jitian took the cigarette handed by the third child: "Alas, you said that people are sometimes quite contradictory, when I was in the world, I never smoked, but when I got here, it seemed like a must, if I didn't come to one after dinner, it seemed quite uncomfortable." ”

The fourth Fan Ming picked up the burning dead branches, lit the cigarette, took a puff lightly, and said, "Go back, I will give everyone a superb yellow crane tower, so that you can know what a good cigarette is." ”

Xu Zheng glanced at the dry bone forest, and looked at Shi Yijian beside him with some worry: "Sixth brother, is what you said the old-timers said true, will there really be a big devil in it?" ”

Since Shi Yijian came to this place, the picture of the dream in his mind has been lingering, and he took a light puff of cigarette, a little uncertain.

"It's impossible, the old man said that he has been here many times, if there is really a Dry Bone Demon Lord in it, then he doesn't know how many times he has died, and sometimes the legend is just made up by people out of thin air, nothing more than to scare a simple little kid like you."

The eldest Sun Xiaobo also answered: "Legends are legends, but in my opinion, the Dry Bone Forest is not a peaceful place, so we should be careful." Sixth, you let the three immortals be in charge of guarding the guard, so that we can rest assured. ”

Shi Yijian nodded, walked out of the place ten meters away, and called out the three immortals one by one.

These days, the three little guys have been loyal to their duties, and some snakes, insects, and little beasts who dared to approach have become the souls of the three immortals, clearing a lot of obstacles for the seven-person team, which can be said to be indispensable.
