Chapter Seventy-Five: White Hair
On the central ground of the two sarcophagi, there is a passage to the underground.
Qin Yuxi looked at the bottomless passage, took a deep breath again, and tightly grasped the snakeskin whip on his waist in his hand.
Qin Zhi had actually woken up the ghost boy when he touched the iron chain in the river, and the four ghost boys on both sides of the river had woken up at this time, which meant that the ghost boy at the bottom of the river had also woken up, and I heard that these were buried
The more painful a child is in the process of dying, the more terrifying the power after death......
Qin Yuxi kept scolding herself in her heart: Why scare yourself! If it appeared, the old lady immediately waved the whip, so that he couldn't recognize his parents!
After giving herself courage, she held her breath and walked towards the passage step by step.
However, the scene under the glacier was completely different from what Qin Yuxi had in mind, the last ghost boy had already turned into dry bones and was lying in a circular formation. Above the formation, there is a layer of transparent spar, through which you can see the frozen river and the boat in the river.
The iron chain that goes deep into the bottom of the river is fixed on the cobblestone where the ghost boy's dry bones are, according to the ancient funeral books of the Yi tribe, as long as the coffin chain guarded by the last ghost boy is pulled, all the mechanisms laid during the burial process can be broken.
In the end, there is a deviation from what he understands, it turns out that the tricks performed on the five ghost boys in the burial customs of the Yi clan are different, or the reason why the last ghost boy will turn into dry bones is because of this powerful formation.
Her gaze was fixed on a key hanging from the dry bone's hand, and she couldn't help but sneer at the thought of the door at the end of the glacier that blocked them from going out, and sure enough, it was exactly what she had thought before.
Her hand tightened in her grip on the whip, and with a wave of her arm, the snakeskin whip flew towards the dry bone!
However, the whip had just wrapped up in the hand bones, and a violent hurricane suddenly blew in the array, and suddenly pulled Qin Yuxi, who was caught off guard, into it!
She slammed into the edge of the cobblestone where the white bones of the ghost boy were lying, her long hair fluttering, her clothes hunting, her skin and flesh seemed to be squeezed, torn, and gnawed by something. Even the internal organs began to ache violently, and the whole person would be devoured in a single moment.
His body was uncontrollably churned back and forth by the hurricane, and Qin Yuxi could only see the opportunity to grab the chain, and then tried to reach out to grab the key that was also blown around by the wind.
What Hao Wuxuan saw when he came in was such a scene: Qin Yuxi grabbed the iron chain with one hand, and grabbed a small key blown by the wind with the other hand, his body floated up like a feather, his red clothes were like the red glow at the end of the curtain, and his black hair was like the waves in the dark night.
This is the first time Hao Wuxuan has seen Qin Yuxi smiling, smiling so beautifully. But it was also at this time that her black hair began to turn snow-white inch by inch from the root of her hair......
Hao Wuxuan was frightened, and rushed in, but he was also stirred by the wind and slammed into the cobblestone in the center, but fortunately, he saw the situation in the formation in advance, grabbed the iron chain with his hand, and shouted to Qin Yuxi above his head: "Hurry!" Tell me what to do! β
"Unplug the chains!" Qin Yuxi said.
Hearing this, Hao Wuxuan hurriedly grabbed the bottom of the chain, but he dragged it for a long time and didn't move!
She looked up at Qin Yuxi and found that her eyebrows had also begun to turn white, and a thick tide of helplessness rushed back and forth in her heart. Anxious, anxious and overwhelmed.
She walked into the desert for me, I can't let her die here, absolutely not!
Hao Wuxuan read aloud in his heart, and tears came out in an instant, floating in the wind, and turned invisible.
She raised her head, Qin Yuxi's eyelashes had turned white, and her skin was aging inch by inch. Qin Yuxi herself seemed to feel it, and the hand that grabbed the chain seemed to be about to loosen off the next moment.
Seeing Hao Wuxuan crying, she said: "Don't blame yourself, from the beginning, I was willing, I ...... I have never regretted it. β
Hearing this, Hao Wuxuan burst into tears even more.
"Once this formation is activated, one person must die. Give me your hand and I'll send you out. Qin Yuxi said.
Hao Wuxuan didn't stretch out her hand, she closed her eyes and said, "I won't let you die here." β
Didn't I say that I was some kind of omen? Then let me believe it! All things in heaven and earth, have you heard my request? Please help me to undo this chain!
She hissed in her heartβ
The cobblestone "boom" gave birth to cracks, and the bottom of the chain was pulled out of the cobblestone inch by inch......
The formation was broken, the ice melted, and the boats in the river slowly rose from the bottom of the water.
Qin Zhi was just about to stuff the captured ghost boy back to its original place, when he suddenly heard Hao Wuxuan calling his name from the cave, and when he looked into the cave, he saw Hao Wuxuan standing below with Qin Yuxi in his arms.
When he saw Qin Yuxi's white hair, he was shocked, and shouted tentatively: "Sister? β
Qin Yuxi slowly looked up at him, saw him lying there, and said angrily: "What's the daze, quickly pull us up." β
After that, with a wave of the whip in his hand, he was caught by Qin Zhi in his hand.
Obviously, Qin Yuxi's speech was far less energetic than before, and when he said a word, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength. The corners of Qin Zhi's eyes were a little moist, he only knew that his sister must have a way to help Hao Wuxuan, but he never expected that she would lose most of her life.
Hao Wuxuan wrapped one end of the whip around Qin Yuxi's waist and let Qin Zhi pull it up.
When Hao Wuxuan also went ashore, the three of them looked at the boat in the river, at this time, the light on the boat was more abundant than when they were in the water, Qin Yuxi instructed Qin Zhi: "Go and go back quickly, be careful." β
Qin Zhi nodded, flew into the boat, first folded his hands and bowed to the Clansman of the Clansman lying in the boat, and said "Excuse me, please don't blame" Then he squatted down and pinched the Patriarch's mouth, and took out a square black stone with a large fingernail from it.
The stone feels a little rough to the touch, and the lines on it are intricate, like words and pictures.
As he was looking closely, Qin Zhi noticed that a small insect flew out of the hull of the ship, shining like a firefly.
He stared at it curiously, and as he watched, the worm suddenly flew towards his eyes!
Qin Zhi instinctively avoided the side, and the little worm immediately turned and attacked him!
He got up and flew ashore on tiptoe, and at the same time, the boat suddenly set off like fireworks, and countless small insects came out of the hull, surrounded the boat tightly, and began to spread around.
"Let's go." Qin Yuxi said.
Qin Zhi nodded, tore off a piece of the corner of his clothes, wrapped the boxy stone and handed it to Hao Wuxuan, then carried Qin Yuxi and walked forward.
Hao Wuxuan put the stone in his arms and walked forward, and when he heard Qin Zhi, he asked Qin Yuxi: "Sister, how did those insects fly out of the boat?" β
"The name of this insect is called the lantern silkworm, and it is a kind of Gu worm." Qin Yuxi said, "Usually it can only be seen in the burial ceremony of the most noble person of the Beetle Yi clan, so as to protect the body of the deceased from invading. After the death of a person, the priests of the Yi tribe will put Gu in the coffin of the deceased in public during the funeral ceremony, and in less than a day, the eggs of the Gu worm will burrow into the wood and become one with the coffin. When the coffin is buried in water and cannot be exposed to air, the Gu worms will stop growing. Once the coffin is exposed to the air, these Gu worms will grow wildly and fly out of the wood. β
