Hui Niang rushed out of the bedroom like crazy, Xing Ruyi glanced at the fox, and didn't have time to think about what he had just said to Hui Niang, stomped his feet, and ran out.

"Hey!" A sigh came from the door, Yin Yuan leaned against the door and looked at Xing Ruyi's back and shook his head: "Since I left Luoyang City, my mother's temperament has become more and more like a mortal, where are there those indifferent at the beginning." ”

"Your mother, she's a mortal!" The fox said, glancing at Yin Yuan: "Have you seen your excitement?" ”

"That Uncle Chang of mine is too inkblotted, and no one else has come yet, how can the show start? This is a good show that has not yet started, and I want to watch the excitement again. But Daddy, why are you still here, aren't you worried that my simple-minded mother will be calculated? Don't forget, my mother can't use that magic now. ”

The fox glanced at Yin Yuan again, cast a spell, and disappeared from the spot.

Yin Yuan touched his fleshy little nose and entered the house. The human skin brocade robe still fell to the ground, but the style and size have been slightly changed, which is more suitable for its previous owner, that is, Hui Niang's figure. Yin Yuan looked at the clothes on the ground, his eyes lit up, he walked over and folded the clothes carefully: "This person's leather brocade clothes are a good thing, since no one is rare, I will reluctantly accept it." ”

Hui Niang rushed out of the house and ran all the way until she came to a cave in the back mountain before stopping.

"Hui Niang!" Xing Ruyi was panting until he ran to Huiniang and saw that she was just crying and nothing else, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Madam, are you okay?" ”

Hui Niang pursed her lips, pointed to the cave that was half covered by the wild grass, closed her eyes, and sat down on the ground weakly.

"What's in this cave?"

Xing Ruyi looked at the dark, half-hidden cavern, like the mouth of an open beast hidden in the night. The cold and faint wind blew out of the cave, and many terrible scenes instantly appeared in her mind. She hadn't felt this kind of fear for a long time, especially after meeting the fox. Perhaps because she hadn't used ghost magic lately, she felt as if she had reverted to the way she was before she met the fox, a little impatient and a little timid.

Hui Niang looked at the swarthy cave and just cried in a low voice. Xing Ruyi looked at Hui Niang's appearance, and finally remembered what the fox had just said to Hui Niang.

Hui Niang once overheard a conversation with her in-laws, and her mother-in-law asked her father-in-law: Can things be done neatly? My father-in-law replied: If you don't do it, how dare you come back to see you? Thinking of the things that Steward Yun said about Huiniang's in-laws when he was in Yunfu before, Xing Ruyi suddenly understood everything.

Xing Ruyi took a deep breath, brushed aside the dry grass in front of the cave, and took a step forward, and was about to take the second step when the fox appeared.

"Be careful!" The fox reached out and grabbed Xing Ruyi's arm: "It's dark in the cave, there are no torches, how do you get in?" ”

"You're here?" Xing Ruyi looked at the fox's eyes and completely relaxed: "It's okay, my eyes have adapted to the darkness here." Besides, I just wanted to go in and have a look, to see if the cave was what I thought it was. ”

The fox looked at Xing Ruyi and shook his head helplessly: "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”

"Absolutely! You also know that I can't use ghostly magic to illuminate myself with nether fire. Xing Ruyi hugged the fox's arm: "When I was in Yunfu, I heard Steward Yun mention two sentences, saying that Hui Niang's in-laws did a special livelihood, and they were all dead people's ideas. But I couldn't think of Hui Niang's father and mother for a long time. They are in-laws, will Hui Niang's in-laws really murder Hui Niang's biological father? ”

"It doesn't seem stupid, you can figure out what I said to Hui Niang."

"Yes! I'll admit that I've been a bit of a nervous IQ lately. Xing Ruyi's face showed a trace of loneliness: "After coming to the Tang Dynasty, because of your relationship and the ghost arts, I always feel that I have become great, as if there is nothing in this world that can affect me, it is difficult for me." But after the bell happened, I suddenly realized that I was just Xing Ruyi, the one who would panic when encountering something, would have no idea, and even needed others to take care of and protect him from time to time. ”

"You are you, the only one in this world. Didn't even I have the bad experience of being ousted from power? So, Ruyi, promise me and let yourself go. The bell is not your fault, and it has nothing to do with you. The fox gently hugged her, "Let's go, I'll go in with you." You don't have to feel that this is relying on me, I am your husband, and it is my duty to protect you in times of need. ”

Xing Ruyi raised his head and looked at the fox deeply, and said, "Okay!"

The cave was dark, and in addition to the cold air, there was a disgusting smell. That smell was not unfamiliar to Xing Ruyi, it was a mixture of the cold and damp cavern and the decay of the bones. She subconsciously clung to the fox, and the fox snapped its fingers, and the cave instantly lit up. Xing Ruyi saw that there were several balls of light floating in mid-air, and he didn't know how the fox got them.

Right now, Xing Ruyi didn't have the heart to be curious about the light ball, she saw two corpses. A half-lying body not far from the entrance of the cave, it seems that he struggled before he died, and even tried to climb out of the cave, but unfortunately, he died here in the end.

Judging by the remains, it was supposed to be a male corpse, about forty to forty-five years old. The fatal wound was in his abdomen, which should have been pierced with a sharp weapon at once. The murderer was ruthless, the speed of the blade into the body was relatively fast and accurate, and some traces left by the murder weapon were also found on the corresponding bones.

"It looks like two knives!" Xing Ruyi carefully examined the corpse again: "In the back, that is, in this position on the waist, the murderer also stabbed a knife. It was also fast and accurate, but it was not fatal because the deceased struggled and reacted to relative stress. Looking at these marks on the ground, the deceased had thought about escaping from the cave for help, but was forcibly pulled to this position by the murderer, and then added a knife. ”

Xing Ruyi got up and looked out of the cave. It's also dark outside, but you can faintly hear Hui Niang's low sobs. She sighed, looked into the fox's eyes and said, "This person should be Hui Niang's father, right?" The location of this cave is so remote and so hidden, ordinary people would not come here, nor would they casually follow a stranger here. Hui Niang knelt outside and cried, which means that she knows the inside story and knows that it is her relatives in this cave. ”

After speaking, Xing Ruyi went to check the bones of the woman again. When he came to him, he snorted. Although there was a female skeleton in front of him, this skeleton was inevitably too clean, clean like a mannequin, lying in the cave in white. Xing Ruyi leaned closer, only to realize that this was not the color of the corpse itself, but a thin and soft layer wrapped in the bones.

"This is, silk?" Xing Ruyi looked at those things, picked up a dead branch from the ground next to him, and picked up a filament: "Good end, what kind of thing can there be on this corpse, even if it is a silkworm, it will not spin silk around the skeleton, and it is so delicately wrapped." Fox, do you know why? ”

The fox shook his head, walked over, and took a serious look at the female corpse: "She is Yunhui's mother, and the first human skin brocade clothes fell off her body." As for how this man's fur brocade was generated, I don't know, but I know that this cave is a little weird. ”

The fox said, driving those balls of light in mid-air, and Xing Ruyi followed the movement of the ball of light, only to see that in the deeper part of the cave, there were many white silkworm chrysalis. The silkworm chrysalis were big and small, but the smallest one was like a bucket, and it looked very scary.

"Is there such a big silkworm chrysalis in this world? No! I mean, is there such a big silkworm? ”

The fox did not speak, but raised his hand and slashed into the air, splitting the nearest silkworm chrysalis. After the silkworm chrysalis was broken, it was also a white skeleton, looking at the size of the skeleton, it should be a teenager, and the age would not exceed fifteen.

"Do you still remember the scene you saw in Hui Niang's house? These people should have been wrapped in the silk they spit out, but the result after being wrapped in is very different. As he spoke, the fox split another chrysalis, but there was nothing in the chrysalis. Among these silkworm chrysalis, some of them are only skeletons, some of them have turned into pools of blood, and some of them are like this silkworm chrysalis, leaving nothing behind. ”

"What about this one?" Xing Ruyi pointed to the corpse of Hui Niang's mother: "Where did her silkworm chrysalis go?" ”

"Human skin brocade?" The fox gently spat out four words: "I don't know exactly how she is different from those people, but the strange thing is that she has changed, she did not become a big silkworm chrysalis like those people, but directly turned her skin and flesh into clothes, that is, the human skin brocade clothes you saw before."

You also know the role of this human skin brocade, it can perfectly repair the skin, and when it reaches maturity, it can even make the person who wears it have immortality. However, in the early stages, the side effects are more obvious, as it will suck up all the flesh of the wearer to feed itself. The lady of Yunfu and her personal maid, Red Willow, are all food for this garment. The reason why Hui Niang was able to escape was because this person's skin brocade was originally made of her mother's flesh and skin, and she was somewhat implicated, and the other thing was that we went in time to save her. ”

"It's crazy, it's just a fantasy story."

Xing Ruyi suddenly thought of another thing that the fox had said before, he said that the reason why he would help the old man on the 22nd floor take off his human skin brocade clothes was for himself, but after taking it off, he never gave it to himself. She once asked the fox if there were any side effects of the human skin brocade, and now it seems that this mature human skin brocade must also have defects that he doesn't know, but the fox knows, so he gave up the idea of using human skin brocade to help him live forever.

"That mature human skin brocade robe, does it also have irreversible defects, the reason why the old man on the 22nd floor wants to take it off must not be as simple as being tired and crooked, right?"
