Chapter 42: Mori's White Face
As the stone entered the water, there was a sound of water waves in the well. The next moment, the phosphorus fire in the well kept coming out of the well as if it had exploded.
The phosphorus fire rose into the air and was not extinguished, and as the wind blew into clusters of blue-green flames, they drifted into the sea of clouds in rows and gradually disappeared into the depths of the sea of clouds.
The scene in front of him made Yu Chengyao even more shocked, phosphine is a flammable gas at the bottom ignition point, and it is also a fast gas.
It burned for a very short time, but the phosphorus fire did not go out after it floated out of the well. It even rolled into a flame cluster in the wind, and flew into the sea of clouds in a column in an orderly manner.
They seem to be endowed with life and spirituality, and they seem to be more than just phosphorus fire.
While Yu Chengyao was shocked by the strange scene in front of him, an idea also appeared in his heart that made him feel incredible.
These phosphorus fires should not be called phosphorus fires, they should belong to the real ghost fires. The reason why those flames are not extinguished is because each flame contains a ghost.
Ghosts attach themselves to phosphorus fires and use the flames as their bodies to go where they want.
And this kind of inference shocked Yu Chengyao even more, because he had seen an ancient legend from the black booklet.
Ghosts turn into ghost fire, just like a phoenix can be reborn from the fire, and this special ability of ghosts is called ghost nirvana.
Could it be that everything in front of you is the ghost nirvana mentioned in the black book? Yu Chengyao looked at the wellhead that was still bubbling with phosphorus fire in a daze, and at this moment his mind was full of records of ghost nirvana.
"Hahaha...... Ah~ha...... "In the silent night, a woman's miserable low laughter suddenly sounded, and the laughter came from the well and echoed in the well for a long time.
Yu Chengyao was taken aback, he was startled by laughter and let out a cold sweat, and Yu Chengyao, who came back to his senses, hurriedly came to the well to watch.
I saw that only a human-sized ghost fire was left in the well at this time, and the turquoise light illuminated the entire well.
The walls of the well are full of white bones, not only human skulls, but also hand bones, toe bones, shoulder blades, and so on.
There was water in the well, and the sparkling surface of the water reflected a human face. The goose egg face is extremely thin and pale. The eyebrows are slender and the eyes are closed. The most abrupt thing on this face is the cherry lips, which are purple to black.
Her long hair spread out in the water of the well, draping the entire well. The root of the neck is broken, but the fracture is not rotten.
Looking at the head in front of him, Yu Chengyao gasped. His palms were numb at the moment, and his back was cold. A gloomy aura kept surging towards him, and the face of the person in the well was too bewitching.
She was so similar to Satsuki, as if she had been carved out of the same mold.
Nervous, he hurriedly opened the coat that covered Xiao Yue's face. Satsuki was still asleep, and she didn't seem to be disturbed by her own series of actions.
Yu Chengyao was a little incredulous, Xiaoyue was still in his arms, who was in the well?
He looked into the well again, and the face was still there. What's even more bizarre is that there is an even weirder smile on her face with her eyes closed.
The subtle changes made Yu Chengyao notice the slightly upturned corners of the face's mouth, and the amplitude was ......
Unconsciously, Yu Chengyao was already scared into a cold sweat, and looked back at Xiaoyue in his arms. Xiao Yue's expression at this time turned out to be exactly the same as the face in the well, and even the details of her expression were the same!
originally thought that it was just dazzling, but after Yu Chengyao carefully checked it three times, Yu Chengyao's heart was already cold to the bone.
Is that face in the well really Satsuki's? The doubts in Yu Chengyao's heart made him dare not accept it and dare not face it.
"Haha...... Ah~haha...... Woohoo......" The eerie low laughter came again, and the laughter faded into a whining cry.
Yu Chengyao looked at the well again, the ghost fire was still on the water, and his face was still so clear. Her eyes were still closed, but a line of tears was streaming from the corners of her eyes. His expression also became extremely sad, like mourning, like a prayer in despair.
After looking at the face in the well, then look at the Satsuki in his arms. Satsuki's expression is exactly the same as that of the face in the well, indescribably weird, demonic, and indescribably gloomy.
Yu Chengyao felt more and more numb in his scalp, and he felt helpless.
"Who the hell are you, and why did you become Satsuki?" Yu Chengyao asked the face in the well with a hard head, and his heart was very apprehensive when he asked.
He wanted to know the answer, but he was afraid to know it. This ambivalence gave him an unprecedented sense of fear of what was happening in front of him, and his nerves were on the verge of collapse.
The face in the well had regained its composure, as expressionless as a dead man.
Staring at that face, Yu Chengyao's heart panicked for a while. He didn't get an answer from the mouth of this face, much less a response from this face.
At this time, the ghost fire began to float towards the mouth of the well, and the speed at which the ghost fire rose into the air very slowly. But the scene in the depths of the well began to gradually sink into darkness, confusion, and eventually became a black hole. And the ghost fire that rose into the air and the dark well formed a huge eye, an eye of dancing fire that could only be seen on a human skull.
The air around him became more and more gloomy, and before he knew it, it condensed into a piece of frost and draped the surroundings with a layer of silver-white frost coat.
After the ghost fire floated out of the well, it did not drift away with the wind, but slowly rotated around Yu Chengyao's body, and after a week of rotation, it slowly flew towards the south.
"Never hurt her, never bring her to this painful place again!" In the dark and cold night sky, a word with a touch of sadness and reluctance came from the sea of clouds in the south.
Yu Chengyao looked at the direction where the ghost fire disappeared, and he was stunned. This sentence was left to him by the ghost fire? Does this sentence represent the society? What is the relationship between Onihuo and Satsuki?
Everything is a fan, a fan related to Xiaoyue's unbearable retrospective!
Maybe Satsuki has the answer in her heart, but she doesn't want to remember it, because it is a scar that she doesn't want to uncover in her heart.
"Yao, what's wrong with you?" A dreamy soft voice came from his arms, and a pair of soft hands covered Yu Chengyao's face.
With a sense of warmth, the slippery and delicate jade fingers slowly caressed the corners of Yu Chengyao's eyes.
"Why are you crying all of a sudden?" Satsuki opened her hazy sleepy eyes, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes.
The watery eyes were full of sadness, self-blame, reluctance, and helplessness. This is her heart, but it makes Yu Chengyao inexplicably sad, maybe he just feels too sorry for the jade man in his arms.
"I will protect you with my life until the day I die!" Yu Chengyao looked directly at Xiao Yue and firmly said this sentence that sounded a little inexplicable to Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue burst out laughing: "Why did you suddenly tell me this?" I knew your heart, and I knew you would love me forever! ”
"By the way, did I just dream? I felt like I was crying, I dreamed of my mother! Xiao Yue said softly, her face showed a look of fear, and she hugged Yu Chengyao with her backhand and stepped her head deep into Yu Chengyao's arms.
"It's just a dream, there will only be sweetness in your life in the future, and there will be no sadness again!" Yu Chengyao gently stroked Xiaoyue's hair, and every time he touched it, he would think of the line of tears on that face. His heart was stabbed deeply because of this, and he was clenched together.
He already knew who the man in the well was, and he seemed to have guessed what had happened in the well in the past.
If Satsuki's mother died in Satsuki's hands, then she really couldn't face this catastrophe, and this pain would forever become the scar in her heart that she didn't want to unravel.
"Yao, I don't like it here, can you take me away?" Xiao Yue muttered in a low voice, her tone full of grievances.
Yu Chengyao nodded silently and prepared to go down the mountain.
"Want to go?" There was a sudden shrill whistle, still coming from the well.
The shrill voice was like a heart-rending wail. Just by hearing the voice, you can imagine the hideous face of the speaker.
Yu Chengyao was shocked and looked back. I saw the blue light flickering at the wellhead, and a human head was suspended at the wellhead in the light and shadow.
The blood-red eyes, the pale face, the purple-black lips. It was Satsuki's mother's head, and there was no water running down her wet hair. Instead, bright red blood beads filled the entire mountaintop with a strong smell of blood.
Yu Chengyao panicked and hugged Xiao Yue and retreated in a panic.
Xiao Yue also seemed to sense the danger, and looked back from Yu Chengyao's arms. When she saw the head of the person hovering at the mouth of the well, she screamed.
As she screamed, her pale face grew hideous.
"Still want to run? Where else do you think you can run? The words came from the man, and her words were as hideous as her countenance.
There was a crackling sound at the mouth of the well, and it seemed that one by one bony hands were climbing on the wall of the well.
There was a rattling sound, and the bones jumped out of the well. Yu Chengyao watched as the pieces of white bones automatically connected together in the air, and finally connected into a human skeleton without a head.
Satsuki's mother's head flew to the skeleton with a crisp snap. The human head was completely connected to the skeleton, and then a dense clattering sound was heard.
People can't help but feel creepy, their scalp is numb, and cold sweat is pouring down their backs.
Yu Chengyao took out the Six Soul Banners, and he was going to use the Six Soul Banners to hit the human skeleton.
Just as he was about to make a move, Xiao Yue suddenly hugged his hands, and she shook her head helplessly with tears in the corners of her eyes.
"She's my mom, don't hurt her!" Xiaoyue cried and begged Yu Chengyao, but Yu Chengyao was silent, and the expression on his face was very conflicted.
He wants to protect Satsuki, but he doesn't want to go against Satsuki's wishes.
At this moment, the Golden Snake Gu came out of Yu Chengyao's body, and it turned into an elf and floated in mid-air. The golden light transmitted a trace of warmth to Yu Chengyao, and also calmed Xiaoyue.
"Take her away, this thing is looking for her! If she doesn't leave, her life will only end today! "The Golden Snake Gu said in a hurry, very anxious.
It said as it stretched out its hands to push Yu Chengyao.
"What the hell is going on?" Yu Chengyao was surprised, and the nervousness of the Golden Snake Gu made Yu Chengyao's heart even more uneasy.
"Flying Head Blood Curse, it's been lost for hundreds of years, let's go, I'll break it!" The Golden Snake Gu shouted anxiously, but the human head had already driven the dry body to the back of the Golden Snake Gu at this time.
