Chapter 65: Underground White Bones
The villagers were talking and panicking, and my heart was also full of uneasiness, and the villagers who came early said that half an hour ago, the roots of the tree were not so thick, but now they have become larger again.
Some villagers said that it angered the fox fairy, and some said that it might be a tree demon.
Xiuya stayed here all night, without rest, and her face was a little tired.
She said to the villagers, "Don't be afraid, the roots of the tree are born from yin qi and will not hurt people, but they grow relatively fast, and there is no difference between them and ordinary tree roots, so everyone continues to dig." ”
Master Huiguang said, "With me and Venerable Xiuya, whatever is down there, we will get rid of it. ”
Under the command of Xiuya, the villagers held tools. I started digging the roots, and the roots got bigger and bigger, and I joined in with my head.
As we dug down, there were more and more rattans around the nine roots, of varying thickness, and the soil here was very good, and everyone was very nervous. How do so many rattan grow in the soil?
Jiang Kun and others also joined in and worked very hard.
After the rattan is cut inside, the inside ...... There was a small amount of black liquid coming out, and after the roots of the tree were dug up, it was also gray-black liquid, emitting a faint smell...... It's like ...... Corpse stench.
Master Huiguang's face was very ugly, and he had been sitting cross-legged with his two disciples. Chanting sutras and reciting Buddha to bless everyone's safety.
Suddenly, I was grabbed by something under my feet, and I was shocked to see a white metacarpal bone break out of the ground and grab my bare feet!
I screamed in fright, "Xiuya...... Venerable Xiuya...... Something...... Bones grab my feet! ”
The villagers next to me shouted.
"Bones!"
"There's white bones down there!"
"Human bones!"
The villagers also dug up a lot of bones, including hand bones, leg bones, toe bones, and these white bones fell out around the roots of the trees.
I saw these bones and it seemed ...... They all seemed to be moving, trembling faintly, and some faint black qi emanated from these bones.
I thought I was dazzled, but when I looked again, all the bones were moving!
As if they had seen something extremely terrifying, several people threw away their tools and desperately climbed to the top of the pit.
With a flick of my right foot, I shook off the bare bones of my foot, my legs trembled, and I immediately climbed into the pit, panting for air.
The spirit hurried over to comfort me.
"The bones are moving, and the black gas on them ...... What is it? I asked Master Huiguang next to me.
"Bones moving? Black gas? Master Huiguang put away the wooden fish in his hand and looked at me with a puzzled expression.
A few villagers next to me were also staring at me, looking confused, could it be that only I could see these black gases?
"Get out of the way!" Xiuya, who was resting not far away, came to the pit, at this time, the pit was more than two meters deep, and everyone was staring at a pile of bones with a frightened face.
Xiuya's eyes scanned the villagers, "What's all the fuss about these bones?" Keep digging! ”
First the roots and rattans, and then the white bones, what everyone is afraid of is not the bones, but the evil.
The villagers were panicked, and the village director and Master Huiguang kept consoling the villagers and asking them to take out all the bones underneath.
"Ning Que, come here." Suya called me to a secluded spot on the side.
"Mage, what's the matter?" Obviously, Suya had something to say to me and avoided the others.
Xiuya said, "You just said that a bone broke through the ground and grabbed your foot? ”
"Yes." "I was digging the roots of a tree just now, and suddenly, a pair of hands appeared from below and grabbed my feet, and I used all my strength to shake off the white bones, and I saw the black gas on these bones. ”
Xiuya was very surprised, asked me about my birthday, and began to divination.
Then, take me from head to toe. He looked closely, then reached out and touched the back of my head, my phalanges, then grabbed my left hand, looked at my palmistry, and pressed my pulse.
"Take your clothes off." Su-ah looked at me.
"What?" I thought I misheard, "Undressed? ”
Xiuya said, "You see things that you shouldn't see, except for the mage and people who are born with wisdom, no one else can see it, but you see it, and I want to confirm whether you were born a cultivator." ”
I took off my shirt, and Suya pinched and beat me, and then asked me to take off my shoes and socks and check the soles of my feet.
In the end, Xiuya's face was puzzled, "It doesn't make sense, you are just an ordinary person, you have nothing to do with cultivation, and your fate is ordinary anymore, how can you see those things?" ”
"Is there anything you're hiding from me?" Xiuya was very curious: "For example, you can see some weird things since you were a child?" ”
I shook my head, I grew up with my dad, and all along, I didn't see anything unclean.
"Bones...... More and more bones, mage, come and see. "Right now. Master Huiguang shouted as he ran, running towards us.
Xiuya and I rushed over.
This time a large pile of skulls was dug up, and there were some bones exposed to the earth around it, and there must be more underneath!
The villagers were so frightened that they stopped, not daring to dig any further.
Don't...... The corpses that disappeared from the cemetery, all here? But. How can it appear under the ancestral hall? On the ground above the ancestral hall, there is no trace of anyone digging up. Perhaps, only a demon can do it.
Master Huiguang's voice trembled, "Mage, these bones ...... Don't...... Could it be the corpse that has disappeared over the years? ”
Jiang Kun on the side said, "Check the bones and gather them." Compare and send it to the police station for analysis, and you will naturally know the answer. ”
Xiuya said, "Is it necessary to be so troublesome? So many people have died in the past eight years, and all the corpses are missing, these bones are naturally these corpses, and they still need to be sent to the police station for analysis? ”
Jiang Kun was a little dissatisfied. "When you analyze the right data, that's the evidence."
Xiuya glanced at Jiang Kun, "I am responsible for the affairs here, everything is arranged by me, these bones are too heavy to be taken out of the cemetery and collected the bones." Cremation immediately. ”
Jiang Kun said, "Are you trying to destroy the evidence?" ”
Xiuya said lightly: "If anyone is not afraid of causing entanglement, take the bones away, I am not responsible for what happens." ”
In the current situation, only Xiuya can preside over the overall situation, and Xiuya arranges for some villagers to gather the excavated bones. Ask the village chief to get some gasoline.
Some of the villagers were extremely frightened and didn't dare to dig anymore, Jiang Kun took the head and his people to dig up the bones, and I went down to the pit with Zheng Jinghong and Lingling.
The nine roots of the tree grew thicker and thicker, converging towards the center, and there were more and more bones in the middle of the roots, some of which were a single corpse. Most of them are wreckage.
It wasn't until late evening that all the bones were dug up and piled together, like a small house.
All the corpses that have disappeared in the past eight years are here, and many villagers are uncontrollable and crying around the bones.
A part of the villagers cremated the white bones under Xiuya's arrangement, inside the pit. Nine huge roots converged into a huge tree root with a diameter of more than two meters.
"Inverted Tree...... I see, it's an inverted tree! Master Huiguang shouted in horror.
I couldn't help but ask, "What is an inverted tree?" ”
Master Huiguang muttered, "All the bones are around the roots, that is...... Someone used these corpses as fertilizer to raise this tree, this tree. It is an inverted tree, that is, a yin tree, and below this, there is an extremely terrifying yin land, which is a place to raise corpses and souls. ”
"The corpses buried in the place where the corpses are kept are not easy to decay, and over time, they will turn into zombies, and if you build a house on them, they will inevitably be haunted and evil."
Xiuya nodded, "Gather yin to nourish the soul, and yin and yang are reversed, and only then will the inverted tree appear, dig up the roots." The answer will soon be revealed. ”
The villagers cut down the rattans from the roots of the tree and tied the roots with hemp ropes, and I and a dozen villagers took levers and ropes, shouted slogans, and with a bang, finally pulled down the huge roots!
Suddenly, the broken rattan on the ground withered at a rate visible to the naked eye. And where the rattan was, there were dense cracks!
Rumble!
The ground beneath our feet suddenly collapsed, and I was shocked.
"Brother Ning Que, be careful!"
It was too late, and the three of my villagers stepped into the air, and Lingling grabbed the rope with one hand and my arm with the other. But I was too heavy, and I fell down with three villagers along with Lingling.
It was dark all around, brushing, brushing, branches and leaves brushing my face, impacting my body, and I felt as if I had fallen from a big tree.
My body was entangled in something. The pungent breath made people dizzy, and the whole body began to heat up, which seemed to be a sign of poisoning.
The three villagers screamed in pain, followed by the sound of a heavy fall.
I panicked.
"Brother Ning Que......" Lingling's hand kept pulling me, and it was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see my five fingers.
"I'm fine." The feeling of dizziness and burning all over my body disappeared, I hurriedly took out my phone, and in the faint light, I found that there were rattan hanging in the air everywhere around, and Lingling and I were hung in the air by rattan.
The spirit crawled towards me, and I squirmed slowly, and the two of us finally came together, hugging each other tightly.
We were seven or eight meters high from the ground, and we didn't dare to move, and a faint ray of light could be seen from above, and the hole above was two meters in a circle.
I shouted a few times, and an echo came from all around, indicating that the space was very large.
"Ning Que!"
"Lingling!"
"Lao Li!"
The shouts of Suya and the mage could be heard from above.
I shouted, "I'm down there, entangled in rattan!" ”
Soon. There was a flashlight from above, a rope was thrown from the hole, and a woman grabbed the rope and slipped down.
It's Xiuya.
"Mage! We're here! ”
"Don't worry, stay on top of it first." Suya has already fallen to the ground, and immediately went to look for the villagers who fell to the ground.
After a few moments, Suya pulled the rope and threw it in front of us. Lingling and I pulled the rope one after another, grabbed the rattans around us, and cautiously came to the ground.
The three villagers were lying on the ground, unconscious, Xiuya's face was covered with a black cloth, and she looked at us in great surprise, "Are you two okay?" ”
Lingling said she was fine, I said I started to get dizzy and my body was hot, and then I was fine.
Xiuya didn't ask much, and said, "The yin qi here is extremely heavy, and there is corpse poison everywhere, inhaling into the human body, it will cause heart paralysis for a short time, and corpse poison will appear on the body, and if it is not treated in time, the heart will stop beating and die within a few minutes." ”
"Those three villagers are already fine, I wonder what's wrong, Ning Que, how can you be okay?"
I don't know what happened, but at first, I did show signs of poisoning, but it quickly recovered.
I asked, "Why don't you ask Lingling why it's okay?" ”
"Lingling?" Xiuya said: "Of course she's fine, you ask knowingly." ”
What do you mean? Is it because ...... Lingling is a demon, so it's okay?
