When he saw what was inside for the first time, Shen Shuyi had already run away, and the thing wrapped in black cloth "touched" and leaned back against the wall, and a skeletal face that had been peeled off was particularly strange in the dim light.

Wrapped under the black cloth was the corpse of a child.

Ordinary corpses can be seen by looking at the general shape, but this one is different, after being wrapped, the shape is flat and long, the width of the top and bottom is the same, the arms have been removed, and the neck has been wrapped with layers of black cloth, which is really not visible at first glance.

In addition to the initial surprise, Shen Shuyi also reacted quickly, he was never afraid of dead people, and he had the courage to get closer and take a closer look, but he didn't dare to get started, there happened to be a long strip of wood inserted in the box next to him, and he picked up the black cloth little by little.

Shen Qiu had already walked to his side at this time, looking at him with a slight frown.

There were two layers of black cloth wrapped around the child's corpse, and when they were all opened, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but take a breath when he saw the whole picture of the corpse.

As he guessed, this corpse had no arms, and the head that was just exposed was already a skeleton, and he thought that what was left should be just a skeleton of auxiliary bones, but he didn't expect that there was not only flesh and blood below the neck, but also looked fresh, and it didn't even start to decay.

It was a boy who had just died, about ten years old, not only had everything inside and outside his head removed, but also had his arms removed, and there was hardly a whole piece of skin on his body, and there were traces of repeated cuts up and down, but this person didn't seem to have been completely disposed of, so he wrapped it in a black cloth and put it here, and the smell on the corpse was very light, and it should have been processed.

The first time he saw the skeleton, it was so clean that it seemed to be rotting like a corpse for decades, and the only teeth that should have been showing protrusion were also broken, but it seemed to have fallen out naturally after a long time.

"Uncle, the guy here...... And this fetish? He couldn't help but ask, after all, at first glance, it was only a person who often dissected corpses.

Shen Qiu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this, he must have done it secretly by dissecting the corpse, and although the corpse is here, it may not have been done by the person here." So saying, he walked up and looked at the skull carefully, and as if he had found something, he took out a knife and slashed it twice.

Shen Shuyi also curiously leaned up to take a look, only to find that a piece of the skull seemed to have been dug up, because the hand holding the knife was slightly deviated outward, so the dug piece could be put back properly, and it really couldn't be seen if you didn't look carefully.

"I thought it was a little bit of digging from my eye sockets...... However, why are this baby's bones so black, and they are not so sick at such a young age, right? He wondered.

Shen Qiu shone inside with the oil lamp on his side, and it was also dug cleanly, and it seemed that he had scraped his skull by the way, because there were still clear scratches in many places.

"It should be a very special way to die, that's why someone deliberately stole a corpse to study." He said with a gloomy sneer: "However, I am very cautious, start with the key points first, and leave no traces of suspicious places." ”

Shen Shuyi looked at this skull, as well as the black color on the bones, and thought that it was something else, didn't the corpse of Gu Yunqi in the dark sun mirror also change color, although the head of this child corpse was artificially cut, but it was hard to guarantee that it would not be these people who killed people before Gu cultivation, and then robbed the corpse to see it.

However, this is just a momentary thought, not to mention that more than three hundred years have passed since the events in the Stygian Mirror, how could it be so coincidental that he came out and met exactly the same. Also, Gu Yunqi's bones are purple-black, the color and degree are lighter, which is like this black-bone chicken, even the inside of the incision is completely black.

Thinking about it comprehensively, the possibility is still not big, and fortunately, the few fragments he saw in the dark sun mirror, although there are not many things reflected, but later every time he thought about it carefully, he felt more and more creepy, the terrible degree of people's hearts, for something or someone, not only did not spare no effort in calculation, but it can be said that he did everything in order to maximize his interests.

The same is true of the child corpse in front of him, how could a good child be contaminated with such a thing, if it is not a natural disaster, it must be the same man-made disaster as the Gu family.

"Uncle, can you please ask Ling to try, it doesn't seem to be the first seven yet." He proposed.

Shen Qiu nodded and said, "Wrap the body first, maybe someone will come back, leave a little flesh and skin and go out for a while and then ask for the spirit." ”

Shen Shuyi responded and started to do it, it wasn't that he didn't want to help settle this corpse, first, this place was really not easy to stay for a long time; The second was that the corpse itself, so fresh and unfinished, was likely to be returned, and they carefully handled it and placed it in the corner, so as not to attract the attention of the visitor, and if it had not been for his curiosity, he would not have opened such a wooden board.

Rashly taking the corpse away and settling it down, saying that it sounds like a comfort to the dead, is actually of little use, and most of the dead don't care about it at all.

Almost put it away as it was, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and when he looked back, Shen Qiu had already put the turned over boxes back to their original state, and he couldn't even see the traces of their coming. After packing up both sides, he returned to the ground from the original road, the sky was still dark outside, and the moon had already tilted to one side of the sky, so it looked darker than in the middle of the night at this time, Shen Qiu took Shen Shuyi and hurried for a while, until the sound of water could be faintly heard.

It should be the river on the paper in front of him, Shen Qiu stopped at this time to let him rest first, and he also happened to use the skin and flesh taken from the corpse first, and the things on the dead man's body could not be carried around with him.

He took out a few things from the cloth bag, two sea bowls, two pieces of rune paper, and a white candle. Shen Qiu first drew a charm to ward off evil on each of the two talismans, lit them on the candle flame and put them in the sea bowl, one bowl for each person, although this kind of death is a child, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be resentment, and it is necessary to prevent it.

After drinking the talisman water, he extinguished the fire on the candle once, pulled out a talisman from his sleeve that he didn't know what he had drawn, and shook it casually, and the talisman ignited a fire with some green light, and the candle that was re-lit with this fire seemed to be slightly green, and the night shone on people's faces with a strange taste.

Shen Shuyi was not only not afraid, but watched with relish, watching Shen Qiu skillfully use a branch to pass through the dead man's skin and flesh wrapped in talismans and roast it on the candle flame, his eyes couldn't help but start to look around, a little excited, and a little nervous because he was afraid of ghosts.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the dark woods, but a little flesh on the branches, which was quickly burned out.

"This corpse can't have been brought from somewhere else, can it?" He asked aloud, and if it weren't for that, he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

Shen Qiu twisted a little black powder from the branch, put it under his nose and asked, then threw it on the ground, put away the objects he had just taken out little by little, and said: "Maybe, just know about irrelevant things, you don't need to be very clear, you have to treat this corpse as if you have never seen it before." ”

Shen Shuyi was slightly disappointed in his heart, and nodded in response: "I know, I won't talk nonsense." ”

This kind of thing is unseemly, just talk nonsense and maybe one day will be killed, or the old saying, he understands the truth, although the mouth may be muddy from time to time, but what to do or how to do it.

Shen Qiu let out a soft "um", took out something from his bag and gave it to him, and said, "Take it, if there is any accident, I can know it immediately." ”

Shen Shuyi took it and touched it, it was a palm-sized jade puppet, this thing is not common. To be precise, it is also a kind of Gu, but it is often used by people everywhere in the world. The scientific name of this object is "Silk Gu", and its usefulness lies in the connection between people, and the hair of one person is used in the production, and when it is placed on the other, when it is seriously injured, the former can feel it.

But after all, it doesn't have much effect, so it's mostly used to contact people who are out doing things, so that anything can be detected immediately. Shen Qiu estimated that he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of him for a while, and putting such a thing on him was also a reminder.

At the same time, it also reminded him that coming out to mix is not nonsense, human life is shallow, ordinary people in this era are dead when they say they are dead, don't look at them It seems that there will be a lot, in fact, the risk is greater than that of ordinary people, and a novice like him is especially easy to "die" in the ever-changing Shura field in the wilderness.

Shen Shuyi took it in a muffled voice, tied it to the belt inside his shirt, chatted for a while, and saw from a distance that there was a faint light in the forest, and it seemed that someone in the village had already gotten up early to work, so he got up and continued to hurry.
