Text Text_Chapter 20 Skeletons in the Cave
The skeleton was very well preserved, and the skeleton of the entire body was connected together as if it were natural. But this skeleton is a little strange, because he is sitting there. On a stone, the skeleton sat quietly, like a king of the world sitting on his dragon throne. A sword was propped up in front of him by his hands gripping the end of the hilt like a cane, and the blade was plunged deep into the ground. The surface of the blade was rusted, covered with red rust, and under the glow of the fire, it still faintly exuded a golden luster. It seems to have been a while. The skeleton wore a gray robe, which swayed gently in the cold wind of the night.
Although this skeleton is a dead thing, but I don't know why, Wu Yue looked at the skeleton in front of him and felt a sense of awe. It's as if the thing in front of you is a big living person.
Out of curiosity and awe of the skeleton, Wu Yue slowly approached the skeleton, wanting to find out. Anyway, it's a bit of a stretch to be able to find this place and go home empty-handed. Even if there's nothing in this cave, it's nice to be able to find anything.
However, when Wu Yue had just taken two steps forward, Wu Yue stopped. Because Wu Yue saw a few lines of words, to be exact, a few lines of letters.
Seven lines of letters, neatly arranged at the feet of the skeleton, should have been carved by the skeleton with the sword in his hand before his death. Although Wu Yue didn't know much about letters, Wu Yue also knew that those letters were written very beautifully. And what's even stranger is that those letters, the letters of the English language.

Wu Yue was some distance away from the skeleton and read the English at the skeleton's feet, as a high school student, English was sure. Although this English feels a bit tongue-twisting, Wu Yue's English in the previous life is okay. Although I haven't studied English for five years, I still remember a little bit. After organizing the sporadic memory fragments, Wu Yue roughly understood the meaning of this English passage.
This body is the bone of the sword, the blood flows like a dark iron, the heart is brittle like glass, it has been defeated countless times on the battlefield, has not been defeated once, has not been understood, it is often standing on the top of the sword hill, and is drunk with victory, therefore, this life has no meaning, then its body, destined to be born for the sword, how to say, it seems to be a very strong text. This person before his death was either a peerless master, or he was a narcissistic idiot who was hopeless. But looking at the feeling that this skeleton gave Wu Yue, Wu Yue directly dispelled the second possibility. But according to this setting of finding the cave, will you be able to get any martial arts cheats or some peerless artifact? Although this seems to be a foreigner, at least it is not from this world. Person.. Wu Yue only noticed a very important thing at this time. The text written by this skeleton is already very sure that it is the English of its own world, and it is a text that will never appear in this world. So in other words, the people who came to this world are not only themselves, but also other people who have been to this world?
.. Forget it, even if there are really people from other worlds who come to this world? Anyway, he is dead in the original world, and now he is the Wu Yue of this world, a brand new Wu Yue. If you care about the original thing, you have nothing to do.
Wu Yue patted her head, directly scattered the idea that seemed to be thinking of something just now, picked up a fairly hot branch from the ground, slowly stuck to the wall, bypassed the skeleton sitting on the stone, and began to search for treasure in the depths of the cave. Even if you care about the treasure, it's a skeleton sitting there, so it's better not to provoke it casually at night. After all, this world is not a world that can be explained by science, and it is not strange that nothing happens.
However, to Wu Yue's disappointment, this cave was not very deep, and it basically ended about five meters behind the location of the skeleton. And there was nothing in the cave, except for stones and stones, and only the skeleton sat quietly in the whole cave.
Wu Yue turned to look at the skeleton behind him with his back to him. I don't know how it died here? What are you doing here?
Wu Yue carefully leaned against the wall again, bypassed the skeleton and came to the entrance of the cave*, stood outside the cave, raised her head to look at the clear night sky outside, and sighed slightly.
Busy in vain. The only thing I can hold now is probably the skeleton and the rusty sword in the skeleton's hand. However, both things are estimated to shatter at the touch of the master, and he does not have the courage to touch them.
Below.. It's time to go back. There's nothing to take for yourself anyway, so don't stay in this place anymore, the skeleton always gives itself the creepy feeling of watching itself.
However, just as Wu Yue walked to the edge of the stone slab and wanted to climb the cliff down, a cold wind blew and blew into the cave. Blew the small fire that was still burning at the entrance to the cave. Wu Yue subconsciously looked back, and immediately, she saw an unbelievable thing.
The cold wind blew the fire. It drove a few small leaves that were still burning in the fire to rise up, and slowly drifted towards the cave along the trajectory of the wind. And the skeleton was less than a meter in front of the small fire. So.." Wait!"
Wu Yue felt that something was wrong, and immediately rushed towards the direction of the cave. However, at this time, the burning leaves had drifted to the skeleton's body, and when the only remaining spark touched the gray robe worn by the skeleton, it immediately rubbed upwards as if it had found a relative. In an instant, there was already a palm-sized place burning.
"Not good. ”
Wu Yue hurriedly ran to the skeleton's side, gently grabbed the bottom end of the gray robe, let the robe try not to contact the skeleton's body, and slowly patted the flames on the robe. Wu Yue's movements were very light, because Wu Yue was afraid that one of his movements would break up the skeleton's body. Although the skeleton now looks complete, in fact, the joint support in various places depends on the friction between the bones, and as long as a little external force is applied, the skeleton will immediately turn into a pile of bones.
Although she had just seen this skeleton, Wu Yue could clearly feel the strength and pride of this skeleton before her death, as well as her loneliness. Otherwise, the skeleton would not have spent the rest of its life in this remote cave with its own sword. So in the bottom of her heart, Wu Yue still respects this skeleton very much. But I didn't expect this to happen now, and I hope that we can be safe.
But sometimes it's just that unlucky. The more you don't want it to happen, the more it will happen. The legendary Murphy's Law says that if something has a chance to go bad, no matter how small that chance, it will happen. This law is completely certain in the following situation.
"Sting. ”
Although Wu Yue had been very careful to slap the gray robe, but this torn robe that I don't know how many years it had been still unable to resist Wu Yue's strange power, accompanied by a crisp sound, the gray robe in Wu Yue's hand was directly slapped by Wu Yue, and by the way, the skeleton also began to shake because of this moment, like a person who had just woken up, and began to stagger.
"Please, please, don't get an accident, I'll buy you a new outfit when I get back, don't."
Wu Yue looked at the skeleton in front of her with her hands folded and said sincerely. But before he finishes speaking." Kela. ”
The skeleton immediately turned into a pile of loose bones and fell to the ground with a clatter. The sword that was held in the hand of the skeleton lost its support, and it also slowly fell backwards, landing on the pile of white bones with a crisp sound. Under its pressure, the bones under the blade of the sword were directly smashed.
"Wow, ahhhh What should I do now?!"
Wu Yue hugged her head and shouted. I have desecrated the dead! I should not be cursed! In this world, curses are a real thing!
After yelling for a while, nothing happened, and Wu Yue was tired. Just sit on the ground and look at the pile of scattered bones in front of you in deep thought. The white skull cover was pressed under a pile of bones in the body, as if there was a faint grievance.
"Alas. It seems that this is the last thing I can do. ”
Wu Yue stood up, picked up a stone with a sharp tip next to her, squatted down and stuck the stone into the ground, and began to slowly dig a hole.
Although the tip of the stone is a little blunt, with Wu Yue's strength, coupled with the softness of the land, it is not very difficult to dig. After a while, a small hole appeared in front of Wu Yue.
Wu Yue turned around and looked at the pile of bones beside Bai Huahua next to her with some heaviness. He stood up and walked over to the bones and bowed deeply.
"I'm really.I'm sorry! If I hadn't been here, maybe you wouldn't be like this! I don't know what kind of person you were when you were alive, but now... Hope you get a good night's sleep. Then go to reincarnation, and go crazy again. ”
After bowing, Wu Yue squatted down and picked up the bones on the ground and carefully placed them in the hole.
“..”
Wu Yue looked at the skull in her hand, and her dark eyes were hollow and she was looking at herself so squarely. But I don't know why, now Wu Yue doesn't feel anything scared.
After gently putting the skull in his hand into the hole, Wu Yue looked at the lonely iron sword sleeping on the ground next to him.
Wu Yue stretched out her hand slightly and held the sword in her hand. The sword is a bit heavy, and according to the feel, it should be about twenty pounds. The blade was rusty and chipped. This sword before his death must have also made great contributions to his master.
Wu Yue straightened her hands, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, the body of the sword with the other, and gently put the sword into the hole with both hands.
With her hands clasped together in front of her, Wu Yue slowly closed her eyes.
Please, have a good rest.
When he opened his eyes, a touch of blood red in front of Wu Yue's eyes attracted Wu Yue's attention. The right hand was raised, so that the long sleeves slowly faded to the arm, revealing the bright red bracelet at the wrist.
Blood Jade Bracelet.. Speaking of which, it was this bracelet that brought me here. Maybe it's because it senses your presence, so let me bury you.
Wu Yue took off the bracelet on her wrist, gently put it in the hole, and placed it on top of the pile of bones.
"I'm sorry this is a relic that my mother left me, so I can't give it to you. It was the one who brought me here, and maybe it has a lot to say to you. I'll go out for a while and I'll be back later. If there's anything you want to say, let's talk about it. ”
Wu Yue stood up, intending to walk towards the outside of the cave. As a person with a higher education in the twenty-first century, it would not have been possible to believe such nonsense. But Wu Yue didn't know why she did this, whether it was really because she respected the deceased or because she was afraid, Wu Yue couldn't tell. But I've done it, and I don't have to care about anything anymore.
But when Wu Yue had just gotten up, the blood jade bracelet suddenly erupted with a burst of intense blood-red light. The red glow did not have the rich scarlet color it used to be, but it was like a jewel, emitting a clear red glow.
