After the white python and the black python gathered, they did not immediately swim towards us, but overlapped, black and white intertwined, I don't know what they were doing. My face turned pale in the darkness, and I couldn't understand why the two snakes reacted so much.

I only heard Sheng Shiyao reprimand: "You are too reckless, the purple gold box is an ancestral heirloom of the Cheng family, how can they not attack you when they see it in the hands of outsiders?" ”

"But I'm not an outsider, this box was given to me by my grandmother."

"You think they're human, and you can still recognize you? Not to mention that you weren't born when these two people died, even if you had seen you, it was impossible to know them. When their souls are frozen in the body of snakes, they lose their human minds, and they must communicate with them in a special language and way. I believe that there is no second person in this world who can communicate with them except Cheng Qingping, and I am afraid that the effect of this witchcraft is far more than just psychic. ”

I tugged at his clothes, "Don't analyze it, let's solve the matter in front of me first." As he spoke, the two snakes raised their bodies and swam towards us, if they were ordinary snakes, they would be killed at most, but Sheng Shiyao said that they had gathered the soul of their ancestors, so wouldn't I kill them to kill the ancestors of the family? Then run, but it must make sense for grandma to keep them in the coffin, if they chase them out, will something happen? If you swim into the village, you will be killed.

This is really a dilemma, and in a blink of an eye, he saw two snakes coming to him, Sheng Shiyao shouted: "Put the box on the ground!" ”

As soon as the hand was loosened, the box rolled down into the mud, and the white snake coiled up first, coiled the box around and then loosened, and then replaced the black snake to dish, and then the two snakes were there and did not leave, and the box was in the middle of them.

Is this a gesture of protection? But this is what my grandmother left me, and I don't know the importance of it, but I must not abandon the wilderness. I looked at Sheng Shiyao blankly: "What now?" ”

He frowned and said, "Look again." "There was movement when he finished speaking, the black python coiled the box again, and then placed one side on the white python, and it carried the other side, and the snakes swam towards us again in unison, and I reflexively took a step back, and saw them cross Sheng Shiyao's feet and swim towards me.

In the process, the box lay on top of them, never falling to the ground, and just a foot away from me, they stopped. I don't know why, but I took a step back, and they went a little further.

"They're going to give you back." Sheng Shiyao said on the side.

I looked at him suspiciously, was that so? But seeing that the two snakes did not look like they were attacking, I was bold enough to bend down and reach out to take the box, and when my fingers touched it, my hand trembled, and I quickly grabbed it, and the two snakes really did not attack me. Now I don't understand, obviously when I saw the box appear before, I was still ferocious and wanted to pounce, why did I return the box to me "meekly" for a moment?

The box in my hand has some earthy smell, which is the smell of a snake.

When their hearts moved, could it be because they recognized the breath on the box? My grandmother passed the box to me, and it should be that there is some way to hand over the box, and the black and white snakes of the two ancestors' souls were leaned down, and the breath of my grandmother mixed in the box was smelled in a special way, so as to identify my identity.

But what are they doing when they are not moving? Don't you plan to go back to that coffin? As soon as the thought turned, the two snakes separated and swam back into the coffin where they were staying, entrenched on the side, as if they had re-entered their dormancy. After the lid of the coffin was closed, I was about to fill in the soil and move the upper layer of the coffin, but I was stopped by Sheng Shiyao, who said that if there was any change in the grave, those people would be suspicious if they came back.

I'm in a hurry, so what should I do? We can't continue to let the ancestral grave be dug up and exposed. And if those people really come back, they must be suspicious of the ancestral tomb, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not discover the secret of the coffin, and these two snakes will also be dangerous.

He looked around and finally fixed his gaze on either side of the pit, "digging a pit directly from here to the side and stuffing the two coffins into it is equivalent to burying them in another pit." And now the depth is more than two meters, no one would have thought of this method of digging holes at the bottom. ”

Brilliant! Even those people who were really suspicious and dug up the soil underneath would never have thought that we would move the coffin to the next location, unless they started the excavator and razed the mound directly.

Without a shovel, it is not so easy to dig up the soil, but fortunately, the soil is moist and soft, and it is not too laborious. After settling the coffins of the two ancestors, I was already sweating, and when I went back to see Sheng Shiyao, he stood calmly outside the pit, as the name suggests, he said that he was looking out for me, but in fact he was too lazy to move.

It's no wonder that he, who asked me to insist on settling the ancestral grave, according to his wishes, he didn't care. By the time I climbed up from the mud pit, I was almost clayman, and my body smelled of earth.

I ran to the river, found a low position, and washed my hands, feet and face with the river, the river water in early spring was still very cold, so cold that I shivered. But it's finally refreshing, and it's not disgraced.

Now that the matter of the ancestral tomb has been settled, we will not stay longer, before leaving, we looked back at the dark mound, and inexplicably felt a sense of gloom in our hearts. I went around to the outskirts of the village and took a look, and I saw that the lights in front of Zhang Liuye's house were bright, and the commotion could be heard when I stood so far away. I felt very guilty about Zhang Liuye, and my intuition was that his death was because of our visit, and it must have been because those people didn't find us in the old house, so they suspected Zhang Liuye.

"Let's go." Sheng Shiyao spoke indifferently.

I took another deep look and bowed three times in that direction before turning and following him into the darkness.

Needless to say, if you want to leave this Zhangjia Village, you must not be able to leave the village. Sheng Shiyao has already said that there are those people hidden in Zhang Liuye's funeral crowd, and there must be secret defenses in other places. It's just that this kind of rural land is accessible in all directions, and no one can find it when you walk around the fields. I only heard the breathing of the two people in the dark, and I felt panicked when I heard it, and I couldn't help but break the silence: "Sheng Shiyao, let's talk." ”

He was silent for a moment before he said, "What did you say?" ”

There is a black line on his forehead, he is a person who is indifferent and silent, and he has been talking a lot more than usual when he has been with me lately, but he speaks all about things, and rarely says irrelevant things.

"Tell me about the process of getting to know Zhou Tong and them." Although Zhou Tong has already said it, he also said in general terms, I am very curious about how Sheng Shiyao, who was still a teenager at the time, could save Zhou Tong and the three of them. Speaking of which, it's been a while since I left Jingzhou, and I miss Zhou Tong and Liuzi a little, and I don't know what happened to them now.

After waiting for half a minute, a low magnetic voice came from the front: "That's how I knew, at that time he had lost his breath, and I happened to meet him, and he collected his soul energy." When he was rescued, he followed me. ”

Well, he's pretty succinct enough. I didn't give up and asked, "What about the six sons?" ”

"It's pretty much the same."

This time I was speechless, and asked weakly: "What about Liu Yue?" Don't say it's a similar situation. ”

But I heard him say: "Liu Yue is more special, when I met her, her soul had already dispersed, and there was a strong evil force casting spells on her, trying to make her soul fly away." I drove that evil force away before I could renew her soul. But because of the late rescue time, her soul was insufficient, so she usually had a pale face and cold hands and feet. And every five years, you have to perform the soul gathering technique for her, otherwise her soul energy will continue to spread. ”

No wonder I always feel that Liu Yue's skin tone is white and unhealthy, it turns out that this is the case. His heart moved, and he asked out loud: "This year is the first year to cast spells for Liu Yue?" He chuckled and said, "Tiny, you're smart." This year happens to be the fifth year, and it is the year when Liu Yue's soul qi is the weakest, so after she is bitten by a poisonous snake, she will not be able to resist, and in the end, she will not even be poisoned, and her breath has been extinguished. ”

"But didn't you renew her soul qi later? She should...... It's not dead yet. ”

"You can't count dead, but you can't count life either. What I can do is to keep her soul, and this price is what Zhou Tong and Liuzi each sacrificed ten years of Yangshou in exchange, which is almost the same as the Yangshou Zhenyin that Cheng Qingping did for you. Her body didn't come out of that space, and if she wanted to be resurrected, she would have to find a body that matched her soul, which was one of the purposes of my trip. ”

I see, this solves my previous confusion, just say what is the use of condensing Liu Yue's soul qi, is it possible to return to the soul city and bring her body out? After all this time, it must have been extinct. Knowing that Zhou Tong and the sixth son spent ten years of yang life in exchange for Liu Yue's soul, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the love between them was really deep. For each other, they are willing to sacrifice themselves, take Sheng Shiyao as an example, he seems to be indifferent, but he also cares about the three of them, otherwise he would never have tried his best to perform the seventy-seven forty-nine days of soul condensation method for them when he was suffering from demonization, so that the demonization accelerated.

Time is really an important bond between people's feelings. The four of them have been together for more than 20 years, isn't it just like I have lived with Aunt Mei for 25 years? But they are stronger than Jin, and I am living in a conspiracy, and every step of the way is a game.

Thinking of this number of years, I asked a very curious question: "Sheng Shiyao, how old are you?" Zhou Tong said that you were still a teenager when he met you, and you met Liu Yue earlier than him, were you younger at that time? How come you know these mysteries at such a young age? ”

Disappear off the face of the earth! As if he hadn't heard me, he walked straight ahead, wondering, is this a difficult question for me to answer? I'm just curious about him. Instead, I thought about whether he would be angry because he poked at the weakness because of his age? Because Zhou Tong said that they met Sheng Shiyao twenty-five years ago, when he was a teenager, then at least there should be a teenager.

But later, it was inferred from Liu Yue's matter that it should have been earlier, which means that he may be about forty. I don't think he's old, and he looks young, under thirty, but I don't mind, just because he doesn't mind being mentioned as old. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just asking, it's okay if you don't want to answer." ”

I thought he was quite thoughtful, but he suddenly turned around, and I didn't check it for a while, and hit his head in the chest. A cold voice floated overhead: "Xiaoxiao, who allowed you to call me by his name?" ”
