Chapter 26: The Shroud
This skull is very strange, and its whole body is crystal clear, like jade. Although he is no longer angry, he can feel the majestic aura as long as he gets close, and he has great powers, and it seems that he can strangle everything.
Zhou Wen stretched out his hand, held the skull in his arms, and looked at it carefully. This skull seems to be a work of art, the material is excellent, very hard, not like the skeleton of some kind of creature.
"It should be a good thing." Zhou Wen said to himself, "If you can knock off a piece, you should be able to buy it at a good price if you take it out." ”
"Boy, you're looking for death." As soon as Zhou Wen's words fell, he felt that the skeleton in his hand moved, his upper and lower jaws bited, and he actually made a human voice. Zhou Wen was startled, and immediately threw the skull out. At the same time screamed: "Ah, ghost." ”
"What the hell, you're the ghost, your whole family is the ghost, hum." The skull was still biting its upper and lower jaws in the distance, making a sound, and talking to Zhou Wen.
"Are you talking?" Zhou Wen leaned over and stared at the crystal clear skeleton and said.
"Who else could there be?" The skeleton said.
"You're all skeletons, and you can still talk?" Zhou Wen stared at the jade skeleton curiously, and at the same time stretched out his hand and knocked it, saying, "The material is very good, what kind of material is it, and how much can it be sold for?" ”
"You dare to sell my wife?" The skeleton shouted.
"Ah, so you're an old woman." Zhou Wen shouted.
"You are the old woman, your whole family is an old woman, this girl is a woman, she is in her prime, she has the posture of captivating the country and the city, she has the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, and she is the first beauty in the sky and on the ground." The skeleton screamed hysterically.
"Cut, it's all a skeleton, and it's still a beauty? Just don't be scary. Zhou Wen pouted.
"You-"
"By the way, where is this?" Zhou Wen came to the front.
"Don't say it." The skeleton puffed and turned its head away.
"Don't say it?" Zhou Wen showed a strange smile, and reached out to hug the jade skeleton again. At this moment, the skeleton screamed, "Ah, don't touch me, take away your dirty hands." ”
"It's dirty, isn't it? Just tell me where this is. ”
"Hmph, this girl won't give in."
"Don't give in, do you?" Zhou Wen showed a wicked smile, threw the skeleton out with his hand, and then stepped on it under his feet, "Do you want to say it?" ”
"Ah, you murderer of a thousand knives, you deceive people too much." The skeleton screamed, and at the same time, a terrifying murderous aura rose into the sky, slashing towards Zhou Wen. But in an instant, Zhou Wen burst out with golden light all over his body, enveloping Zhou Wen in it, and gradually annihilating that murderous aura.
"Sure enough, you're going to kill me." Zhou Wen's eyes showed a fierce light, and then kicked the skeleton out.
"Ah, thief, you are looking for death." The skeleton screamed.
"I told you to attack me, you think Lao Tzu is easy to bully, right?" Zhou Wen rushed over and kicked out again.
After doing this a few times, the skull finally gave in and quickly said, "I said, I said-don't kick it, no, my soul fire is about to be kicked away by you." ”
"Why did you go earlier, I don't want to hear it." Zhou Wen shouted. Then decisively put your feet down.
"Brother, brother, stop kicking. I'll do whatever you want me to do. Finally, the skeleton softened and made a soft and sweet female voice. When Zhou Wen heard this, he couldn't get off his feet. But the momentum was still unconvinced, glaring at the skeleton and shouting: "Whatever I really tell you to do, you will do it?" ”
"Yes, yes." The skeleton was so busy that he was really scared of being kicked.
"Okay, I'll ask you, you answer, don't say more nonsense, do you hear?"
"I hear you."
"Okay, let me ask you what kind of place is this?"
"Purgatory."
"Purgatory?" Zhou Wen wondered in his heart, "What kind of place is purgatory?" ”
"I don't know, I only know that this place is called Purgatory, and as for its origin, I don't know."
"I really don't know?"
"Really."
"Okay, so who are you?"
"I-me, who am I?" The skeleton was dazed.
"I'm asking you." Zhou Wen emphasized.
"Who am I?" The skeleton repeated.
"How do I know who you are, don't tell me, you don't even know who you are?"
"Who am I?" The skeleton muttered to himself, the confusion in his tone even worse, "Who am I, where am I from, why am I in this place, why is there only one skull left, what the hell is going on?" ”
"You don't really know who you are, do you?" Zhou Wen asked.
"I can't remember." The skeleton said in desperation.
Zhou Wen didn't doubt it, because the dazed and desperate tone in that tone couldn't be pretended.
"It seems that you don't know anything about it." Zhou Wen said.
"By the way, do you know how to get out of here?"
"Can't leave." Skeleton said.
"Don't scare me, if I can come in, how can I not leave?"
"You can get in, but you can't get out. To enter purgatory is to die. Never be able to go out. These corpses are the best testimony. The skeleton said faintly.
"When you enter purgatory, you will die a miserable death in the end, even if you are gods, demons, elves, and angels, you can't escape."
When Zhou Wen heard this, his heart immediately cooled. I was reborn, I have the anti-heaven exercises, and I can cultivate both body and soul, and I hope to reach the other side. How could he be trapped in this place for no reason and die a tragic death. Zhou Wen does not believe in evil.
He looked at the skeleton and said, "I see that your skull is as crystal as jade, so why don't I call you Xiaoyu." In this purgatory, you and I are together, and it is good to talk to each other. ”
"Hmph, who wants to be with you."
"Since you don't want to, forget it. I don't force it. Zhou Wen said, "I will never force others to do what others are not willing to do, just as the sage said that he would not do to others what he would not do to himself." I'm leaving, you're doing it yourself. ”
After speaking, Zhou Wen put his hands behind his back, walked with the old man's steps, and gradually walked away step by step.
"Hey, you're really gone." The skeleton shouted.
"Wait for me, I'm scared to stay here alone."
Zhou Wen turned a deaf ear, walked by himself, and gradually walked away. The skull was really anxious, glowing all over, and then rolled out towards Zhou Wen like a ball. When he encountered a big rock, he bounced up violently, and immediately got into Zhou Wen's arms.
"Yes, there are ghosts." The skeleton screamed.
"Heh, you're still afraid of ghosts as a skeleton." Zhou Wen laughed shamefully. But then his face turned green as he felt a hand on his shoulder. Immediately after that, the skeleton in his arms popped out.
Zhou Wen's expression stiffened, and he turned his head with difficulty, only to see a child lying on his shoulder, smiling at him. Zhou Wen was so frightened that his soul was scared, he cultivated the method of the divine soul, but the soul was separated from the body, and the sharpness of the divine soul was comparable to that of the Dao Realm Ancestor, but when this child appeared on his shoulder, he didn't feel the slightest.
"Hehe, brother." The child's lips squirmed, and he made a sound, looking at Zhou Wen's eyes full of greed. "Brother, I'm so hungry."
"I, I, little brother, my brother is not delicious at all." Zhou Wen said with difficulty, and in an instant he pointed to Xiaoyu and said, "That skull is delicious, gnaw bones, it tastes old when you gnaw it." ”
The kid immediately turned his gaze to Xiaoyu. Suddenly, Xiaoyu let out a scream and shouted at Zhou Wen: "You kill a thousand knives, you can't die well." As he spoke, he immediately jumped out and fled far away.
The kid moved his gaze to Zhou Wen again, and Zhou Wen suddenly stiffened, and the smile on his face froze on his face, how ugly it was. "Brother, my brother's meat is really not delicious."
"Brother, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry." The child's voice grew more and more poignant. As he spoke, he opened his small mouth and gnawed down towards Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen subconsciously pulled out the spoon in his arms and stuffed it into the child's mouth, only to hear a rattle.
The kid had lost a few teeth. The boy looked at the spoon and suddenly cried out in a terrible voice, "What is this, ah, ah, how terrifying." In an instant, he bounced out, looking at Zhou Wen from a distance, with a look of fear.
Zhou Wen played with this spoon in his hand, "It's really a good thing, it can not only avoid murderous energy, but also exorcise evil spirits." It seems that Master's twenty ingots of Holy Gold Stone Flower are not wronged. ”
Zhou Wen muttered to himself and chased in the direction of Xiaoyu's escape.
Xiao Yu cowered in a dirt pit, and her skull kept shaking. Suddenly, a large hand reached down and grabbed her, and she screamed, "Ah, ah, don't eat me." If you want to eat, eat the one who killed a thousand knives, that guy is covered in meat, and it is delicious. ”
"Am I really delicious?"
Suddenly, a voice that seemed to be laughing but not laughing rang out.
"Is that you?" Xiao Yu's upper and lower jaws moved, and she made a sound.
"You're fast."
"You, how did you escape?"
"Why don't you want me to escape?"
"Ah, how could it be, if you die, there will be no one to talk to me."
"Alright, stop talking about it. Tell me what that kid is? Zhou Wen asked with a serious expression.
"That's an evil spirit." Xiaoyu said quietly, this voice made Zhou Wen stiffen again, and felt a yin wind blowing from behind him.
"Evil spirits?" Zhou Wendao.
"Yes." Xiaoyu said, "Evil spirits eat everything, and everything they eat ends up turning into pieces of paper, which is very cruel. ”
"Let's go." Zhou Wen's expression was heavy, and he continued to walk forward with the skull of Xiaoyu in his arms. This place is so weird.
Zhou Wen didn't take a few steps before he heard Xiao Yu in his arms shouting, "Run." ”
"What's wrong?" Zhou Wen ran away without hesitation, and asked at the same time.
"Ran in the wrong direction, turn around." Xiaoyu shouted.
Zhou Wen looked up and saw that a piece of cloth in front of him was fluttering over, with mottled blood stains on it, accompanied by the smell of corpses.
"What's that?" Zhou Wen shouted.
"It's a shroud, and when it's wrapped, it's going to be drained of blood and become a zombie—"
