Tomb of Impermanence Chapter 165: Bone Leaf Soul Chasing
Bai Wuyan woke up again, only to feel that the aroma of herbs around him was stronger, and the gloomy morning light shone into the cave, reflecting the vast water vapor wafting from the hot spring, just like a paradise, a fairyland in the cave.
A wave of dizziness struck again, but only fleetingly. Bai Wuyan turned over and saw that there was a bowl of porcelain bowl full of medicinal soup next to the humanoid stone. Bai Wuyan's heart moved, and he secretly thought, "There must be something wrong with this bowl of medicinal soup." Is this a sobering soup or a lethargic soup? Why is it that every time he falls asleep, the place where he falls asleep is in the deep forest about five miles away from the Wuyun Cave?"
In the rustle of leaves in the wind, there were suddenly some extremely subtle footsteps, moving towards the entrance of the cave. The sound of these footsteps was extremely soft, and if it weren't for Bai Wuyan's still impermanent mana, it would have been almost impossible to distinguish.
At this moment, Bai Wuyan's mind was racing, he picked up the bowl of medicinal soup, shook it hard, poured all the medicinal soup into the hot spring pool, and then put the medicine bowl back in its place, and fell asleep on the humanoid stone on one side, pretending to still be in a coma.
After a while, the figure of Honggu Lake's water-colored dress appeared at the entrance of the cave. I saw her carrying a basket full of herbs, approached Bai Wuyan, leaned down and took a closer look.
Bai Wuyan looked like he was still asleep, the white veil on his face was motionless, and his body was still in the same position he put down yesterday. The only difference is that his eyes swept to the bowl of medicinal soup on the side of the humanoid stone, which was empty, as if Bai Wuyan had woken up and had already drunk the bowl of medicinal soup.
With a smile on her face, Honggu gently brushed her hair and got up and walked to the corner of the cave wall full of herbs.
I saw that she poured the herbs in the basket into the pile of medicines, and very skillfully picked out some herb leaves in it. The leaves are the size of a palm, similar to the appearance of mulberry leaves, and the patches are very fresh. Honggu picked out a handful of the green mulberry leaves, put them all into the empty basket, and then turned and walked towards the hole.
Although Bai Wuyan lay still, her eyes hidden under the grimace mask opened and closed slightly, her eyes rose under the cover of the white mist in the hot spring, and she looked at everything Honggu had done, and said in her heart: "It turns out that every time she goes to pick herbs, there are different types of herbs in the basket, but when she comes back, she will pick out the kind of herbs she needs and bring them out." I don't know where she's going, and what will these mulberry herbs do?"
Honggu suddenly stopped at the entrance of the cave, turned around to look at Bai Wuyan, and said to herself: "Ah Yan took this bowl of Wuli Sanshen Grass, this sleep is estimated to be longer, today is the day when I chase the soul leaf talisman to succeed, I have to spend more time practicing hard." With that, he floated out of the cave.
"Wuli San Divine Grass, sure enough, there is something wrong with that bowl of medicinal soup!" Bai Wuyan was secretly glad that he didn't take the medicine today, turned over and started, wanting to silently recite the Qimen Escape Spell, but the gossip dragon beard banner leaning next to him didn't listen to the call and didn't react according to the spell. Obviously, the little mana in his body at the moment was no longer able to support him to use the Qimen Escape Spell.
Bai Wuyan was afraid that Honggu would go far, so he hurriedly turned over and got up, no longer hesitated, tried to lighten his steps, pricked up his ears and used the only remaining layer of impermanent mana, while judging the whereabouts of Honggu's footsteps, he moved his steps lightly and chased out of the Wuyun Cave.
Honggu followed the winding mountain road, turned to the back mountain, and entered the deep mountain jungle.
Bai Wuyan followed from a distance, and at first he didn't feel anything unusual, but as he walked, he suddenly found that white bones or skull fragments would appear from time to time on both sides of the road along the way, scattered among the wild grass, under the cover of woods and shrubs, which was not very inconspicuous. If it weren't for Bai Wuyan, who was an envoy of impermanence, and was born with the ability to discern the bones and ghosts within a five-mile radius of his body, he would hardly have found these white bones.
It is not an unusual thing to meet corpses in the mountain road of the Netherworld, if it weren't for the doubts in Bai Wuyan's heart today, wanting to follow Honggu to see what she was doing, so that all the phenomena around her would pay special attention, I am afraid that I would not pay too much attention to those corpses in normal times.
What was so special about those bones? Originally, there were no bones on the mountain road on both sides, but as Honggu walked all the way, the white bones and skull fragments gradually increased, and they were evenly scattered on both sides of the mountain road. Obviously, these are not natural bones, but are intentional.
After a little further on, an empty ridge appeared in front of it, as if a rocky platform suddenly protruded from the middle of the mountain. The platform was still surrounded by trees and lush greenery, but strangely enough, the platform was now littered with piles of white bones, one under almost every tree.
I saw Honggu come here, stopped, took out a book from her arms, looked through it for a long time, and then put down the basket again, took out a palm-sized mulberry leaf from it, and stuck it in the palm of her hand.
Bai Wuyan was very curious, and carefully hid behind a tree from a distance, observing Honggu's movements through the layers of leaves.
Honggu walked up to a pile of white bones, held the large mulberry leaf with one hand, and bit her middle finger with the other hand, drawing something on the mulberry leaf with the blood oozing from her fingertips. Then, with a snap of words, he pasted the mulberry leaf painted with blood characters on the top of the white bone skeleton's head.
But seeing the pile of white bones on the ground, it suddenly moved, and a pair of green lights suddenly emitted from the deep eye sockets of the skeleton, and then stood up from the ground tremblingly.
Honggu smiled and said to herself: "Little skeleton, let me see how far you can run today, if you can run to Wuyun Cave, I will be done!"
Bai Wuyan's heart moved, and he secretly thought: "Why does Honggu seem to be using a spell similar to a zombie soul chasing charm to make those white bone skeletons move?
Unexpectedly, after the white bone skeleton stood up, it staggered and walked in the direction of the big tree where Bai Wuyan was hiding. The skeleton walked faster and faster, until it trotted all the way into the woods. I only heard a sound of Kerala, the shadow of the tree, and the skeleton actually hit headlong on the body of a tree only six meters away from Bai Wuyan's hiding place, and the skeleton of the whole body was shattered, and the bones of the broken arms, thighs, and heads rolled to the ground. After the white bone skeleton fell apart, there was still green light in the eye sockets, and he looked in the direction where Bai Wuyan was hiding.
Honggu sighed and muttered, "Why did this little skeleton suddenly lose his mind and go crazy, running around! Didn't he tell you to go to the Five Cloud Cave to find Bai Wuchang? Could it be that my Soul Chasing Leaf Fu is still so unpopular?" Following the green light in the skull's eye sockets, he also looked towards the big tree where Bai Wuyan was hiding.
