Chapter 63: The Grave Keeper
The man was approaching them along the deep river, and he did not hide his fierce aura, which brought an endless sense of oppression to everyone present. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Who?"
Xia Beifeng clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, and regretted that he had cut off the silk thread in his hand so early, otherwise he would have been able to stop him more or less now.
He took a few steps forward vigilantly, picked up the soft~ soft white su on the ground, and asked Shen Qingge with his eyes, "Do you want to take a look?" ”
Shen Qingge pursed her lips and shook her head.
"It seems to be a grave keeper."
She whispered, clenching the spear in her hand.
"Don't be too relaxed, I remember that this guy only listens to the words of the ghost king, so you should be careful......"
She raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Beifeng, and suddenly sighed again: "But your words, being careful may not be of any use." At least I can run away, and you'll have to wait where you are. ”
"No, it won't."
Xia Beifeng said in disbelief: "That guy has such a ......"
So powerful? So fierce? So cruel?
He thought for a moment, not knowing how to describe the grave keeper's possible behavior, so he simply closed his mouth and stopped talking.
The grave keeper walked down the river and approached them slowly.
Unlike Xia Beifeng and Shen Qingge's grass and trees, the sparrows are very leisurely. She lowered her head and combed the feathers on her body, and except for the first blow of the hair, she didn't seem to feel the tension in the air at all.
The grave keeper finally emerged from the deep river and walked up the steps.
He was dressed in ordinary casual clothes, with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards a few people on the steps. There was a polite but detached smile on his face.
A pair of ice-blue eyes sparkled.
"Xia Yi ......"
Ye Baiyu, who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, spit out two words angrily, and then shook his body a few times~ body.
When he straightened up again, his face was a little ugly.
The vines growing on the wrist have revealed bright red flowers~buds, half-open and half-closed, and will be put unreleased, with some demonic but dignified beauty~ feeling.
"You're here to help me, aren't you?"
Ye Baiyu raised his eyes and asked.
Xia Yi - The tomb keeper didn't make a sound, but he instantly restrained his outgoing aura, which made Xia Beifeng and Shen Qingge breathe a sigh of relief.
"Yes."
He whispered in response, and looked down at the wound on Ye Baiyu's body.
"Why are you here to help us?"
Shen Qingge still didn't dare to trust him, and stood the spear in front of him, putting on a defensive posture.
"Because you're so annoying. I've helped you, so hurry up and don't mess with me here. ”
Xia Yi yawned and glanced at Xia Beifeng: "I've just watched you toss in the past few days, and I can't even sleep well." ”
"Someone is trying to take over your nest, so we'll help you get rid of them. As a result, the matter is over, and now you are running out to chase people again, and your wishful thinking is quite loud! ”
Shen Qingge said in a weird manner: "If you say something ugly, you don't mean anything?" ”
"I already knew about the things they were making about, Ye Baiyu was called by me, as for your so-called expression......"
Xia Yi curled the corners of his mouth and raised his chin at Ye Baiyu: "You go and ask him what he took from me." ”
Shen Qingge looked at the two men in surprise, and was speechless for a while.
"When did you two become so acquainted?"
She held back for a long time, and finally stumbled to ask such a sentence.
"Decades ago."
Xia Yi came to Xia Beifeng's side and stretched out his hand at him.
The "book" of heavy heavenly books actually took the initiative to leave Xia Beifeng's hand and flew towards him.
"Originally, this thing was divided into two volumes, and the heavenly machine written by the Witch King when he was in retreat and enlightenment was written in the upper volume, which is what you often call the prophecy book. Ye Baiyu came for it this time, he wanted to find this thing and ask about something that hadn't happened yet, so as to prepare for the future upheaval. ”
He lowered his head and blew at the Book of Heaven, blowing away a thin layer of floating dust on it: "As for the next volume, it records what the Witch King has learned all his life. In today's world, those who can get the next volume, as long as they learn a little bit of it, can stand alone in the world and cannot find an opponent. ”
The "Book of Heaven" trembled slightly with his movements, and a layer of dazzling silver light emerged from its uneven surface.
Shen Qingge's eyes were hurt by the dazzling light, and he couldn't help but turn his head.
Earthworm-like small characters appeared on the stone slab one after another, constantly twisting and changing the content, flashing at a rapid speed.
"Back then, this Ye Bai Yu Ye Dao Chang entered here alone, and the Witch King was still there at that time. I don't know how he did it, maybe it's because the brain circuits seem too strange. Lord Wuwang actually hit him off at first sight, and after drinking a meal, he directly lent him the next volume of the Book of Heaven for reference, and he had today's achievements. As a result, this person is endless, and he takes the next book of heaven and wants to take the book of heaven to see his fate...... It's shameless. ”
Xia Beifeng stared intently at the dazzling book of heaven, only to feel that the incomprehensible words that appeared on it seemed to have great attraction. Even though his eyes had been shaken to the point that they could burst open at any moment, he still refused to look away.
However, he really couldn't understand any of the words on it.
The little silver print flashed one by one, and finally stopped for a moment in the middle of the page.
"That's it."
Xia Yi stretched out the slate in front of Ye Baiyu, and urged impatiently: "You want to see this, hurry up and see it, it doesn't matter to me how much you can remember." ”
Ye Baiyu stared with difficulty, his eyes rolled back and forth, and he concentrated on remembering the abstract text on the stone tablet in his mind.
His face was pale, beads of sweat were constantly dripping down the side of his face, and his body was always shaking, as if he could fall down at any moment.
The bright red flowers ~ buds on the vines slowly bloom.
Even so, he still firmly imprinted the picture in front of him in his mind, and then raised his head and nodded at Xia Yi.
"Alright, thank you."
Xia Yi flipped the stone slab in his hand a few times, and the silver handwriting flashed a few times in his fingertips, and quickly disappeared.
The "Book of Heaven" was once again restored to its original appearance - a dusty, inconspicuous stone slab.
"That's it?"
Xia Beifeng asked in surprise: "I took so much effort to get it, but you just looked at it and it was over?" ”
"What are you doing?"
Xia Yi glanced at him in surprise, raised his hand and threw the book of heaven into the distance: "Isn't this thing in Wuxi, you can find it if you go in?" What, is there something else you've encountered? ”
Tianshu crossed a long arc in mid-air and fell into the dark river, making a "snap" sound, apparently falling back into the silt.
Xia Beifeng: "......"
He looked at Xia Yi's sincere eyes, and recalled the beginning and end of his encounter with Black Dragon Feiyan for a moment.
Could it be that I really accidentally traveled to another place at that time, and I met Feiyan?
With such and such suspicions, he finally shook his head and decided to bury this memory in his heart completely and tell no one.
"Nothing, except that I almost drowned when the water came out."
"The water of Wuxi Creek will not drown the believers of the Witch King, and if you can be drowned, it only shows that your heart is not sincere."
Xia Yi said indifferently.
"Don't talk about this yet, what do you think I should do in my current situation?"
Ye Baiyu raised an arm high and showed him the brilliant red flowers blooming on his hands.
"I used the method of drawing blood to draw all the poison~ out, and now I will die after this flower, can you give me a way."
"What poison?"
Xia Yi leaned over him and sniffed: "Do you mean puppet incense?" That's not poisonous. ”
He stretched out his hand and clicked on the flower, and the blooming flower closed little by little with his action, turning back to the state of flower ~ bud.
Then he slowly shrank back.
Little by little, the tender green vines became smaller and shorter, until they turned into a seed and fell to the ground.
"The puppet incense thing that we used to feed to the slaves as a sacrifice to prevent them from escaping is not very good."
Xia Yi raised his finger and pointed at Xu Sheng, who was lying on the ground and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and said expressionlessly: "This incense is to use the blood of the spell caster as an introduction, if the strength of the person who is recruited is too much higher than the spell caster, the spell caster will be eaten back, just like this......"
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and tapped it on Ye Baiyu's wound.
A little bit of Yin~red blood stained his fingers, and a few wisps of black smoke spread out from the bloodstains, and the stitches drilled into his arms along his fingers.
After a while, Xu Sheng's body on the ground twitched violently~ a few times.
Large~ pieces of black smoke emanated from his seven orifices, slowly swirling around his body.
The ice dragon leaning against him paused for a moment, and raised his head to look at Xia Yi.
After the vines retracted, Ye Baiyu's face gradually recovered, and at this time, even the black lines on his face began to dissipate.
"This little thing is a bit troublesome, I'll take it back first~ teach, and then return it to you."
Xia Yi beckoned to the ice dragon and turned his head to look at Ye Baiyu: "Are you okay?" Okay, let's take the people and leave quickly, and the next ones, and let them stop running around. ”
"What about Xu Sheng?"
Ye Baiyu covered the wound on his wrist, frowned and said, "I have to take him back, it's not over yet, I can't let him go like this." ”
"You are free, take it out, and if you can't take it out, I'll throw him down."
The black smoke around Xu Sheng gathered around Xia Yi in a leisurely manner, and after circling around him a few times, it dissipated into the air little by little.
"I'll take him away."
Ye Baiyu stretched out his hand at Xia Beifeng, and stood up with difficulty with the help of Xia Beifeng's outstretched arm: "There is also a rain stone that has something to do with him, so this time it will be solved together." ”
"You can see if we can solve it together this time."
Xia Yi said casually, turned his head and shouted behind the throne: "A few people hiding over there, come out, don't you still want to ask me, let's solve it together." ”
Not long after he finished shouting this, Ning Feng and the three of them escorted Xu Tianyang out from behind the throne.
"How do you know I have something to ask you?"
Ning Feng held the gun, aimed it in Xia Yi's direction, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm the grave keeper here. I've stayed here since the day the witch king was buried, and I haven't stepped out of this mountain. But even though I'm staying here, I know everything, like what you want to know, what happened twenty years ago, I can tell you all about it now, and then I'll fuck off, and I'm not allowed to set foot in this mountain again in my life. ”
Ning Feng narrowed his eyes, clenched the gun in his hand, and looked at him suspiciously.
"If you don't believe me, I can say one thing first, and you can hear if you want to know."
Xia Yi hugged his arms and looked at him with a smile: "Your real name is not Ning Feng, but your surname is Feng." For so many years, the family surnamed Xu got together just to investigate the cause of your father and uncle's death, who followed Xu He here and never returned. You're here this time to get revenge, and you're here to bring their bodies back, right? ”
Although he asked Ning Feng very politely, "Is it right?" the expression on his face was extremely determined, as if he already had the answer in his heart before he spoke.
"What else do you know?"
Ning Feng's hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and his voice also had a bit of a trill: "My father, how did he die?" What happened here? If you've been watching here, why don't you stop them? ”
"Why should I stop them? What does this have to do with me? ”
Xia Yi really smiled this time, he spread his hands, gestured to the piles of white bones on the ground, and said helplessly: "Cannibalism between you humans, what's the benefit of me getting involved?" ”
Ning Feng: "......"
Hearing this, although he was very angry in his heart, he suddenly thought of something that was not very important.
Since this guy in front of him calls himself an alien, it's useless to use a gun.
Thinking like this, he simply put down the gun and looked at Xia Yi fearlessly: "I just want to know a true ~ phase now, you can open a condition, how willing to say it." ”
"Why do you have to be so persistent in things that have passed?"
Xia Yi asked him with some puzzlement: "Now that you know this, it can only become not very good memories, why bother?" ”
"Just tell him."
Ye Baiyu looked at Xia Yi with a smile, stretched out his hand and slapped him on the back: "Don't play with him, people are quite pitiful." ”
"Two conditions, no room for bargaining."
Xia Yi stretched out two fingers and said without refusal: "First, take away the two people in your family - I mean the corpse still has a soul, as for how you want to go over after bringing it back, that's your business, in short, don't do it in my place; The second thing is, after listening to the story, give me an honest back, don't think about anything from me, what I have here is not something you can bear. ”
"It's pretty simple."
Ning Feng nodded, slightly surprised: "You're not afraid that after we go out, we will talk about this matter and attract others?" ”
"You can see if you can say it."
Xia Yi stretched out a hand and nodded on his lips: "I don't want to be like someone, just pick people in and let them out, and I don't even do any insurance." ”
Ning Feng looked at him suspiciously.
"You'll understand later, I'll tell you what you want to know first."
Xia Yi put down his hand and said quickly: "Actually, it's the same old thing, the two people in your family and the two people in the Xu family have some differences, your uncle made a deal with Xue Qing before he died, Xue Qing guaranteed him not to die, and he helped Xue Qing find the warehouse where the Witch King put his things." As a result, they stumbled into the burial chamber where I was staying, and after I ran away, they came across a field of coagulation larvae. They quarreled for a while about whether this thing could be eaten, and the two elders of your family were bold, and after eating a few bites of each person, they were affected by the blood clotting insects, so they simply parted ways with the two people of the Xu family, and finally died in that flower field, becoming an empty shell controlled by blood clotting insects. ”
"Xu Sheng was the one who instigated them to test the poison in the first place, so it's not surprising that they still want revenge after so many years of death. I said that you should know where the bodies of the two of them are, and you can just collect them yourself on the way back. ”
While listening to these words, Ning Feng's face changed back and forth several times, and it wasn't until he finished saying it for a long time that he was shocked and asked, "It's that simple?" ”
"It's as simple as that. In fact, among the four people at that time, only Xu He did not eat blood clotting insects. He had a chance to go out, but he had to go out with a half-dead brother. The final result is that he was taken away by his brother, how stupid! ”
Xia Yi shook his head and sighed, and raised his eyes to look at Xu Tianyang: "Even his own son is used, in fact, he has no feelings as a human being, don't you know?" ”
"Oh, by the way, there's the festival village...... That's a bit of a long story. ”
Xia Yi sighed and looked at Xia Beifeng with a smile: "Do you want to know?" ”
