The fire burst into the roof in an instant. There was a very pungent smell of liquor in the air, as well as the smell of burning.

There were about two dozen corpses inside, and after looking at the fire for a long time, Yu Nian closed the door.

"What the hell are these corpses coming from, and why are they like this?"

"I have been harmed by people and have been resentful for a long time. The unjust soul is unwilling to be reincarnated, relying on the last trace of resentment to keep the body from decaying, and over time it becomes a corpse bandit. As long as they don't attack their heads, they can achieve immortality in a sense. ”

"What is eternal life in some sense?"

"You can move, you can control your body, but it's not instinctive, it's not controlled by your brain. Without emotion, without the ability to think and speak, to put it bluntly, they are just walking dead, dead people who can move. ”

"What about these ......"

"If you keep asking, we may not be able to find your foolish friends before dark."

As soon as Yu Nian said this, I remembered that I had just sent Lao Meng and them away, and I don't know where these people are.

The sky is bright, and the bright light of the laser pointer is almost undetectable at this time, and the mobile phone signal is about zero in this mountain.

When I was in a hurry, I suddenly saw a building similar to a Taoist temple halfway up the mountain.

"There! They must have gone there! ”

We've been walking on the mountain road with our backs to this temple before, so it's normal that we haven't seen it all the time.

Yu Nian and I bypassed the village and walked directly onto the winding mountain path opposite.

As Lao Meng said before, there is no one in the village. In some cases, the doors were open, and the houses were already in a dilapidated state, looking to have been abandoned for years.

I muttered, "Strange, where have all the people in this village gone?" ”

"They were all just burned to death."

"What?" I thought about it for a while, and there were twenty or thirty corpses in the courtyard just now, so could it be that "all the people in the village are dead?" ”

Yu Nian hummed lightly, "Those dried corpses have black lips and ulcerated esophagus, they should have been poisoned and died cleanly overnight." ”

I looked back at this small village in the mountains, and I wondered what kind of enemies they had provoked, so much so that they had provoked such a murderous disaster.

The mountain road was winding, and I tried to follow Yu Nian to make sure I didn't lag behind.

Looking at Yu Nian's back and remembering what she had just said to Teng Chongchong and them, I suddenly became curious about her identity.

The stamp on this nine-fold treasure letter clearly reads the currency of the ancient relics, and Yu Nian said that this treasure in her own clan means that she is very likely to come from that legendary nation, the ancient relics clan.

It seems that the rumors in the world are true or false, not all of them are credible, but they cannot be completely disbelieved.

Yu Nian and I walked for less than half an hour before we came to the door of the temple.

I stepped forward and knocked twice, and the door was opened by a little Taoist priest with fine skin and tender meat, who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

After inquiry, it was confirmed that Lao Meng had indeed brought Liao Kao and the three of them to this temple for the night.

Seeing me and Yu Nian enter the door, Lao Meng immediately rushed over to check if there were any injuries on my body. After discovering that I was safe and sound, I was finally relieved, and I didn't forget to ask me, saying that I was reckless.

I slipped around and didn't say much.

In that case, I did know that my abilities were limited. also knows that with Yu Nian's skills, it shouldn't be a big deal to solve the problem of those dry corpses.

But at that time, I didn't know how, my brain was hot, and I couldn't bear to say anything and think of myself.

But recalling the indifferent expression on Yu Nian's face when he stepped on the head of the corpse bandit, he was probably too worried.

After asking Lao Meng, I learned that all the monks in the Taoist temple went down the mountain, as if it was the day of the opening of the altar, and now there is only such a small Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, and I can't ask anything, so I have to stay here for one night, and wait for tomorrow afternoon after everyone comes back, and then ask who the author of the ghost statue is.

I was placed in one room with the other three girls.

I didn't see Yu Nianren when I finished eating, I asked Teng Chongchong, and she only said, "I don't know, I can't talk together, I'm not a person all the way." ”

must still be angry at Yu Nian for beating her in the afternoon.

I ate indiscriminately, under the pretext of going out to breathe, and looked around the Taoist temple, and finally saw a figure on the top of the eaves in the backyard.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, sitting on the side, it looks very lonely.

I climbed up and found that Yu Nian was carefully wiping the bone umbrella in his hand.

"I tried to open it once before when I was in Nanshan, and it was bounced off." As I spoke, I sat down not far from Yu Nian.

Yu Nian didn't say anything, I continued to ask, "If you don't go down to eat, the food downstairs is unpalatable, it's like mixed with sand, if you don't eat it, it will be gone?" ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Oh, don't be so cold, it's okay, the little girl is so stressful."

She was a little impatient, and she picked up the bone umbrella and tried to stand up.

I hurriedly grabbed her, "Hey, hey, I'm really something, I'm really okay." ”

She hesitated, and after slowly sitting down, I leaned towards her, took out the copper coin that I had been hiding from my pocket and handed it to her, and then said calmly in her slightly surprised eyes, "This copper coin appeared in my hand after I woke up when I was in the disaster area rescue." It was the day before my comrade-in-arms had an accident. I don't know where it came from, but it was there when I woke up. ”

Yu Nian didn't interject, with the copper coin in his palm, he looked at me quietly.

"Then I came home and found my dad missing. Before he disappeared, he received a courier with a copper coin identical to this one in the box. I followed the address of the sender and began to look for it, and after several circles in the middle, I finally found this nine-fold treasure letter, and found that this copper coin was the key to the nine-fold treasure letter. Then I didn't find any other clues, I didn't know who gave my dad the copper coin, or why I had one in my hand. ”

The words that have been backlogged for a long time have been told to Yu Nian by all the people sent by my ghost at this moment.

Could it be that my confusion is too deep, and it just so happens that Yu Nian is at the heart of this matter? Or maybe I'm lonely and need someone to help me with these troubles?

I can't tell, but I feel reassured by the thought of sitting quietly on the eaves at this moment. Even if she doesn't want to listen to me most of the time, even if her identity is still a mystery to me now.

Yu Nian probably didn't expect me to say this suddenly, but just asked me, "Why did you tell me?" ”

"Well......" This question really stopped me, and after thinking about it, I said, "Maybe I'm panicking, so I can't say it." ”

Yu Nian's attitude was rarely much softer, I thought she would throw off a sentence about my and turn away, who knew that she actually slowly said, "It's up to me to find the treasure letter and the key, since one of them is in your father's hands, I will naturally help you find it." ”

"But after ten years of searching, you will find two copper coins, one of which I gave you."

"I ......" Yu Nian was so angry that I blocked my throat with a word, and held back for a moment to argue, "In my past ten years, I haven't just been looking for the Ninefold Treasure Letter, and besides, finding the Treasure Letter itself is not my task, I have other things to do." ”

I saw the way she hurriedly explained, and suddenly felt a little funny.

Yu Nian was annoyed and ashamed, patted his pants and stood up and left, before leaving, he seemed to remember something, threw one of the copper coins back to me, and said to me condescendingly, "Keep it, when I find your father's one, I want you to kneel in front of me and beg me to change it for you!" ”

After saying that, he jumped off the eaves with a jump. I couldn't help but laugh as I watched her leave.

It turns out that no matter how cold and indifferent she pretends to be, she is still a little girl in her bones.

Yu Nian walked to the middle of the courtyard, seemed to hear my laughter, and kicked the stone pier in the courtyard in anger.

In less than ten seconds, the stone pier slowly cracked, and finally cracked in half.

My smile froze in the cold wind, and I felt that it was really presumptuous to use the word "little girl" to describe Yu Nian just now......
