Chapter 66: The Way to Live
"It is not a white bone that has been ossified over time, but a white bone that has been stripped of flesh and blood. The bones are fresh, and at a cursory glance, they are indeed the human bones of a person, but if you know the bones, you will definitely find that they are bones made of different parts of white bones. ”
Liangyi didn't do superfluous nonsense, and only answered about the white bones, and closed his mouth after speaking.
Mu Jingzhu listened carefully, and when he heard this, he asked again, "Are you sure that corpse exists?" ”
Liangyi frowned slightly, "What do you mean?" ”
Mu Jingzhu didn't hide it from him, nor did he deliberately test him, and directly said the answer.
"The bones disappeared the next day, and they haven't been seen since."
Liangyi was slightly shocked, but quickly calmed down.
"So what do you think it is?"
Mu Jingzhu stood up from the edge of the bed, took a few steps forward, and stood still at the table, his slender fingers tapping on the table with a sound.
"A few days ago, there was a night walk of white bones emitting green light in Xiangling Town, resulting in the death of two people and two people being delirious. Then you find the splicing of the bones, and the incident of the bones walking nocturnally does not appear again. Now that the spliced bones are gone, I suspect that the Bone Night Walk will reappear. ”
Liangyi nodded and said in a deep voice, "So you suspect it's man-made?" ”
"Absolutely artificial. Bones are dead things, and if they are dead things, they have no life. ”
He turned around and stood with his hands in his hands.
The sunlight outside hit his back, and his whole face was immersed in darkness, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Only those eyes, like the coldness of the night, always radiate the most dangerous light.
"What's more, if a dead person can be disguised as a living creature, why can't a dead bone?"
Liangyi didn't know what he was referring to, but since Mu Jingzhu would deliberately look for him and ask these questions, he must have his own thoughts.
"I remember, those nocturnal bones have a green glow on them?"
Liangyi suddenly took the initiative to speak, and Mu Jingzhu knew what he had in mind.
He nodded and said, "Yes." So everyone thinks it's witchcraft, and the bones turn into demons. ”
Liang Yi didn't answer immediately, but tilted his head sideways and thought for a while, then smiled.
He himself is cold, although he has the same face as Qu Youying, but when he laughs, the corners of his eyes are not bent, but only symbolically hooked the corners of his lips.
It gives people a cold and glamorous feeling.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Do you know the Ghost Fire?"
Mu Jingzhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Is the two related?" ”
"Ghost fire, which is mostly found in summer graveyards, is a flame with a blue-green light. Everyone said it was a ghost fire, but it wasn't. Rather, it is a product of decay and decomposition after death. That's why I wondered if the other party was using the property of ghost fire, using something to smear it on the white bones, and produce a change with the white bones in order to emit green light. ”
Although Liangyi's words were also speculation, they clearly mentioned the key points.
Among them, none of them saw the white bones that had traveled through the night, and what they saw was either dead or crazy, and they couldn't ask anything at all.
So if they can make similar bones, they may be able to solve the case of nocturnal bones.
This is also the most fundamental reason why Mujing Candle leads to Liangyi and asks.
"What you say, I'll verify it."
Mu Jingzhu's expression was solemn, and Liangyi yawned, showing tiredness.
"There's one more thing I want to ask you."
Just when Liangyi wanted to make an excuse to say that he wanted to rest, Mu Jingzhu asked again.
Every time he asked, Liangyi would frown.
He didn't want to answer, but sometimes he had to.
"What's the matter?"
"On that day in the abandoned house, you said that there is a way to keep the children born of close relatives alive, I want to know, what is the way?"
Liang Yi didn't think about it, so he spit out four words, "Sacrifice with bones." ”
"Bone sacrifices?"
Mu Jing candle is inexplicable.
Liang Yi explained, "I once met an old man who told me that he cut off one of the ribs of a newborn child and buried the ribs on the stove near the chimney to pray for Zhang Xian's protection. If after seven days, the child can survive smoothly, then almost all of them can survive and Xu, if within seven days, the child dies, there is no protection from Zhang Xian, and must be cremated immediately. ”
"Is that true?"
Mu Jingzhu frowned, obviously not believing this nonsense.
But Liangyi's expression told him that he wasn't lying.
In fact, children born to close relatives do survive the existence of the age of peace.
It's just that this method sounds too mysterious.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Yun Shu's voice sounded outside.
"Young Master, are you in there?"
Mu Jingzhu glanced at Liangyi, turned around and strode towards the door of the room.
"What?"
He opened the door and turned sideways to let Yun Shu in.
Liangyi didn't want to be discovered by Yun Shu, so when she came in, she took off the bed curtain, lay down on her side, and pretended to be asleep.
"There is a message from the Purple Pavilion and let Xiaoshu go over. You're now a little book, so I'm going to ask you, did you go in the past? ”
Xiaoshu was born in Ziyou Pavilion, and at this time, Qianxi suddenly looked for him, it must be for the affairs of Xiangling Town, and Yun Shu did not dare to delay.
Mu Jingzhu nodded expressionlessly, "Go over right away." ”
Yun Shu was overjoyed and blessed his body, "The slave and maid retreated first." ”
After Yun Shu went out, Mu Jingzhu closed the door and walked towards the big bed.
Liangyi had been hiding behind the bed curtain, keeping an eye on his every move.
Seeing him approaching, he was astute and clearly sensed that something was wrong.
It was a kind of alertness in the face of his opponent, and he quickly stepped back while his right hand clenched into a fist.
The moment Mu Jingzhu lifted the curtain of the bed, he took the initiative to attack.
But Mu Jingzhu's body suddenly fell backwards, causing Liangyi to pounce.
But the trend of his going out was difficult to retract for a while, so he rushed towards Mu Jingzhu.
Mu Jingzhu's face leaned back, a hint of narrowness flashed, and his body leaned to the side, avoiding Liangyi's pounce.
But when he was about to make intimate contact with the ground, he made a lightning shot, grabbed the acupoint on his waist, and held the person in his arms.
"What do you do!"
Liangyi was furious.
Mu Jingzhu didn't have a smile on his face, he completely ignored the anger in Liangyi's eyes, and the knife in his hand fell and fell, directly knocking him unconscious.
Between the dizziness, Liangyi is a gas!
Since he woke up, every time he faced the enemy, it was a gesture of victory, and he had never encountered such a disgrace.
But at this moment, there was nothing to be done, as soon as his eyes were dark, he fainted.
Mu Jingzhu laid the person flat on the bed, covered the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and put the black hair on her face behind her ears, her eyes were deep.
"Someday, I'll make him disappear forever. You can only be you, protected by me, no one else! ”
Mu Jingzhu lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, then got up and left.
The peace of the room was as if nothing had happened.
When Qu Youying woke up, she only felt that her neck was sore, as if she had been beaten up, which was very uncomfortable.
She shook her head, her head was also groggy, and she screamed at Yun Shu.
But she shouted a few times but didn't see anyone, so she had to get up by herself.
When she opened the door and went out, she saw Mu Jingzhu standing in front of her door, as if she was about to raise her hand and knock on the door.
Qu Youying was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this person was Su Tong.
She looked a little impatient, leaned against the door, and didn't let him in, and asked lazily, "What are you doing here?" ”
Su Tong frowned lightly, with a flirtatious look, showing the iceberg face of Mu Jingzhu, there was an indescribable feeling.
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Qu Youying yawned, her eyes were foggy, "Let's talk about it!" ”
"The lie is, you are married to the Xie family, as your childhood sweetheart, how can you ignore it! After all, the people of the entire Xiangling Town know what your relationship with Mu Jingzhu is. I've got to come to the door to act for you! ”
He smiled and bent over Qu Youying, his light breath spread on her face, with an itchy feeling.
"Do you want to hug me and cry hard? Otherwise, some people will be suspicious! ”
When he said this, it happened that a man passed by in the courtyard.
Qu Youying squinted, suddenly grabbed his shirt, pulled the person closer to his room, and then slammed the door shut.
provoked the entire courtyard to look at this side, pointing and discussing.
Qu Youying, who was hiding behind the door, saw everything outside the door in her eyes, and she was not annoyed, she just let go of her hand and moved her five fingers.
"I've heard the lies, and the fake plays have been acted, so what about the truth?"
"You're just fake?" Su Tong suddenly turned sideways, pressed her against the wall, supported the wall with one hand, and lowered his head to meet her eyes, "Why do you have to make some noise?" ”
Qu Youying rolled her eyes directly, she knew that when men were cheap, they were all the same, and they wanted to rub oil.
"Ahem."
She coughed lightly twice, her slender fingers against his chest, and poked hard.
"You don't act like this, with his temperament, if he knew that I was married to Xie Xiaoer, but didn't tell him, he would come directly to me and ask for it, where are you like this?"
Before she could finish speaking, the door was slammed open.
Mu Jing Candle appeared at the door in the shape of a small book, holding a tray in his hand.
He stood by the door, looking at Qu Youying, his eyes were like wolves discovering a plate of Chinese food, revealing an extremely dangerous sharpness.
But in that sharpness, there was a bad smile.
As if to say, "You really want me to ask for it?" ”
Qu Youying's cheeks were hot, and her heart was beating wildly.
"Miss, are you alright? Yun Shu said that you were held hostage, so I just broke in, I'm sorry. ”
Mu Jingzhu saw that she looked at herself with a weak heart, and was a little proud, but because of Su Tong's presence, he didn't say much, so he could only lower his posture and ask with concern.
Qu Youying was dumbfounded when she heard it, even though she knew in her heart that he was acting because of Su Tong's pretensence.
But for her, it was really rare to hear him say "sorry".
"Ahem." She cleared her throat and said with a straight face, "Yun Shu is really right, didn't you see that it was Young Master Jing Candle?" You are not allowed to be so rude in the future. ”
"Yes."
She waved her hand and said, "Stand down!" Go and prepare tea. ”
"Yes."
Qu Youying drove people away, and she didn't close the door, but the door was open, and she did it to the round table opposite the door, so that she could expose herself to people at any time.
Su Tong touched his nose, but his eyes kept on the back of Xiaoshu, and sat down opposite Qu Youying.
