I sighed: "When the road is uneven, draw a sword to help, the old man is nobler than many people." ”

Gu Yue listened to me praise Old Man Gu. Seems to be happy. She laughed and said, "This incident started because of my father, and he went to clean up, which was supposed to be." ”

I asked, "So that's how he does it?" ”

Gu Yue said: "My father was practicing during his lifetime, and his soul still practiced after death, and he already had a certain amount of Taoism. So he came up with a way to make an appointment with the deceased. ”

I said, "What's the solution?" Isn't it the same as today, with a piece of bone? ”

Gu Yue nodded and said, "Father spent a lot of effort. I found the bones that I had lost. He looked for it many times. It was found that the man's bones were missing a tibia, and he could not find it. So he took a skull. Send it to the house. And he left a note, saying, If you want to find all the bones, you will follow. ”

"That's what my father was thinking. Whether the person has anything to do with the deceased or not. He would have been shocked when he saw the bones of the dead. I thought I was being seen through by others. So definitely to keep up. ”

The result was exactly what my father expected. The man did as promised. Got to the river. His father spoke openly to him and asked him if he wanted to harm the family. ”

"The man knew that my father was a fox ghost, but he still wouldn't admit it. And was going to kill my father. My father originally thought he was some kind of little demon, but he also had the intention of restraining him and then forcing him to find out the reason. As a result, after fighting for a while, I realized that this person was very powerful. It was only a matter of time, and he had the upper hand. ”

"My father's skills are good, but this person is not afraid of the invasion of yin energy, and can always exude yang energy. It's simply invincible. My father retreated, and was forced into the river by the man. Just disturbed the shooters in the river. ”

"Shooters are poisonous insects. Innuendos, shadows that attack people specifically. The shooter lay down in the water, and after some commotion, the man fell to the ground. When his shadow was scattered, his body vanished. And my father is a ghost, without a shadow. It is precisely because of this that he was spared. ”

Later, my father went ashore to inspect the garment and found a shin bone wrapped in it. It's the one that wasn't seen before. ”

I nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's what I said." Is this man's shin bone turned into a monster, transformed into his former appearance, and went to harm his own family? In this way, it is inferred that Father Xue was made of vertebrae? ”

I looked at Xue Qian. And Xue Qian had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

Mr. Lu frowned and said, "How is this possible? How can a bone, without a soul, become a living person? ”

Gu Yue said: "Later, my father also looked through the classics and inquired in many ways, but found that no one had ever seen such a strange thing. Or even if you see it, you don't know why. He inquired for a while, and he could be regarded as inquiring about some eyebrows. Some of the bones of the dead were taken out by the ghost fox and discarded in the wilderness. Because of coincidence, a soul will be generated, attached to it, and by the essence of the sun and the moon, it will turn into a demon. The monster has no shadow, the shadow is obtained by him through guò receiving the essence of the sun and the moon, which is equivalent to borrowing from him, and this shadow has become his weakest point. So when he was attacked by the shooter, even the figure of the person dissipated. The body of this monster is the bones of the deceased, so he knows exactly what happened to the deceased before his death. Speak and do things according to the custom of the deceased. And because he is just a bone, he only has the memory of the deceased, but not the emotions of the deceased. Therefore, it will harm people, take people's essence, and make himself strong. As the years go by, they will become extremely powerful demons, and they will no longer be able to subdue them. ”

We all nodded, "I see." ”

Mr. Lu showed a look of hard thinking: "What kind of coincidence can make dry bones give birth to souls?" I'm afraid there's a big problem here. ”

Gu Yue nodded and said, "When I came, my father also gave a special explanation. This time, be sure to check it out. ”

She breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "At the beginning, my father relied on archery to beat that bone demon back to its original form. But he didn't have time to look closely, but hurriedly returned the bones to the grave. The next day, the family dug up the grave and burned the bones. My father said that he was hiding nearby, and he heard a scream from the firelight, and presumably the spirit was still on the bones, and it did not leave. If I had known, I would have interrogated the soul and might have been able to draw some clues. ”

"At that time, there were many people in the world, but there were far fewer than now. There are a lot of strange bugs in the river. It's just that now, it's hard to find an archer. The Yin Ghost Woman searched for a long time in the deep mountains, and only then did she find a few. ”

I nodded and said, "So you found this shooter." I said, I haven't heard of anyone who was injured by a shooting injury. ”

Gu Yue said again: "People are terribly afraid of ghosts and foxes, and Taoist priests are jealous and hateful, treating us as demons. But in the heart of the ghost fox, there is justice. After all, when people die, they have to be ghosts, and ghosts were once humans. The father saved the family, and this act was widely spread, and all the ghosts praised it. Then alarmed, they invited my father to join. It is precisely because of this incident that we have settled in Yucheng. ”

I said, "I see. In this way, it is still a good organization with clear rewards and punishments, and jealousy and hatred? ”

Gu Yue said: "Of course. If in the past, when it was still prosperous, the little ghosts mentioned it, there was nothing that was not praised. ”

I remembered the favor that Li Lamb's father, an old sheep herder who was a water ghost, and the favor he once received, until decades later, still remembered it, and heard that I was the Lord and saluted me.

I nodded, thinking to myself: In fact, if you understand the hearts of these little ghosts, you will find that they sometimes act elusively and a little scary, but they are not inherently bad. Even more than people, they talk about rules and cause and effect.

I was thinking about it, Gu Yue smiled beside me, "No need to go any further, we have arrived." ”

I looked back, and sure enough, it had arrived. It's just that I think things have come to an end, and I've actually walked through.

I smiled and walked out with the group.

When I arrived, I was immediately stunned. I saw that the shelves had been moved, and in the middle of the room, a space had been vacated. A fire rose there, and a pot hung from the fire. There were a few imps lying on the ground, as if they were roasting a fire.

I exclaimed in surprise and said to Xue Qian, "Old Xue, where is my knife?" ”

Xue Qian panicked and untied the big knife from his body.

When the little imps saw me carrying a big knife, they looked ill-willed, and quickly stepped back, and then looked at the bed as if they were asking.

That's when I realized that there was a person sitting on the bed. She held her cheek in her hand and looked at the necklace on the table in the candlelight.

This person is a yin ghost woman, and the necklace is actually a vertebrae strung with hair.

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You recruited these imps?" ”

The Yin Ghost Woman raised her head, glanced at me, and said, "I recruited it." I asked them to help me make a fire. ”

I looked at the pot, and the water was bubbling and bubbling. As soon as I saw this scene, I remembered that the remnant immortal used his eyes to take medicine. I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.

I asked, "Why are you boiling a pot of water here?" ”

The Yin Ghost Woman smiled: "Of course, it's for you to make tea." "The Empty House:.

I looked at the rusty pot and grinned.

The Yin Ghost Woman stood up and said, "Okay, I'm not kidding you." She raised the necklace in her hand and said, "I'm going to throw this vertebrae in it and stew a pot of bone broth." ”

I thought to myself, "This joke is more flavorful than making tea." ”

Xue Qian couldn't help but say, "This is my father's bones." ”

The Yin Ghost Woman walked over with an ambiguous face, touched Xue Qian's chin, and said with a smile: "One day husband and wife." The two of us also had a fateful day. If you don't want me to cook this bone, I won't cook it. ”

I saw Xue Qian's expression as if she had eaten a dead mouse. When I rescued him, I didn't tell him what I saw, and he was in a daze and didn't know what had happened. But now, it seems that it can't be hidden.

The Yin Ghost Woman said, "Why are you looking at me like this? Wasn't it rejoicing that day when you were in bed? ”
