Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Black Bone Staff
"Whew~~~"
A stream of black gas came out of the crack in the door, I hurriedly dodged away, and suddenly smelled the musty smell emitted by the black gas, as well as a trace of bloody gas mixed in it, just sniffed it, and shivered with coldness all over my body, I fixed my mind, and secretly said that it was a good evil smell!
Push open the door completely, but see a small and dark cave appear in front of me, this is the wizard's residence, it is said that after the wizard died, no one dared to approach here, the reason is that the animal carcasses outside are all around, a pungent fishy smell makes me a little uncomfortable, the cold breath makes me have to play a Tiangang trick to protect the body, what is permeated inside is not any yin qi, nor is it any evil qi, but it is very similar to a kind of yin and yang death qi recorded in the Maoshan technique, that is, the qi qi!
Qiang, for the flesh is not rotten bones, Qi Qi is a fusion of Yin and Yang Qi attached to the bones of the breath, this taste is extremely unpleasant, ordinary people encounter, if the physique is weak, at least a serious illness, if the physique is better, will also be uncomfortable.
Walking slowly into the cave, it is not difficult to make out by the light shining from the outside, and everything inside can only be explained by two colors, gray and black.
The dilapidated clay pot and the blackened stove, and the cutlery that has been gnawed off half of it by something, on the other side is a clearing, next to the clearing, is a simple stone bed, said to be a stone bed, rather a bed formed by a few large stones placed together, a corpse lying quietly on the stone bed, a corpse wearing a black robe, it is said that in this society, it is a bit out of place to wear such clothes, even wearing a long gown in the late Qing Dynasty has gradually been replaced by modern clothes, not to mention such a costume.
Of course, for a monk of a mysterious sect, compared to ordinary people, it is very strange in itself.
"It stinks~~~"
Suddenly! Feng Lao's voice sounded behind me, I turned my head to look, and saw Feng Lao also walking in, only to see him frowning and covering his mouth and nose with one hand, muttering indistinctly.
There was nothing fatal in it, at least for now, so I didn't stop Elder Feng from walking in.
Feng Lao walked around and quipped, "You cultivators don't seem to pay much attention to diet and daily life, look at this...... It's too shabby, isn't it? ”
I shook my head and said: "Feng Lao, look at the dust on it, it can be seen that these things used in daily life have not been touched for a long, long time, in fact, no matter what cultivation **, they all pay attention to their own health, these things are shabby, but it is not necessarily, if you use a broken pot to cook a pot of Ganoderma lucidum ginseng, do you say that in the end, is the value of the pot important or the value of Ganoderma lucidum ginseng?" ”
"Tsk~~~" Feng Lao smashed his mouth and said, "Yes! You cultivators are all weird, huh? No, on the seventh day of the first month, you see, how do the stone walls around these places look like they have been burned? And these places where they cook and sleep are all burned by fire! ”
Being reminded by Feng Lao like this, I also immediately realized this, indeed, everything in it was black rumbling, as if there had just been a fire, looking at the corpse on the bed again, I couldn't help frowning!
The corpse's eyes were open, but their eyes were pitch black, I took a closer look, and immediately gasped: "Yes...... It's the Hellfire! ”
Feng Lao accosted: "Hellfire? What Wraith? ”
I took a step back slightly, and my voice unconsciously became a little cold: "You've heard that the human body has three yang fires, right?" ”
Feng Lao nodded: "I've heard of this, it is said that it is a handful on the head and a handful on both shoulders, if the three yang flames are extinguished, then this person is not far from death!" ”
I nodded heavily and said, "Not bad!" If there is a fire in the yang world, then there will be a fire in the underworld, but what the fire burns is not the things in the yang world, but what is hidden in things, such as ...... Soul! ”
"Huh?" Feng Lao trembled: "Seventh year of the first month, are you saying that the wizard's corpse is the result of being burned by the Hellfire?" Someone burned his soul? ”
I rubbed my hands cold and trembling, I didn't answer Feng Lao's words, in fact, there was no need to answer, Feng Lao's question was the answer, he said it well, the wizard was indeed burned to death by the hellfire, but those who can use the hellfire to burn the soul are generally treacherous ghosts and spirits, but this wizard's reputation in the local area is not very bad, and it is also for the benefit of one party, it is said that there should not be a righteous person to treat him like this, that ...... Is that what the evil way does?
There is also a possibility, that is, he himself committed some catastrophe, and he must use the hell fire to calcine his soul to atone for his sins, but this possibility is too small, in such an environment, in a remote poor ravine, what catastrophe can be tossed?
"Huh?" Feng Lao suddenly stared at a black stick next to the corpse and shouted, "Seventh Month, do you think that is the magic staff that the wizard used before his death?" It is rumored that the inheritance tokens of each sect are different, for example, your Maoshan Sect mostly uses the Dharma Seal or the Zhenshan Treasure to complete the inheritance cause, while the Wu Clan makes good use of magic staffs and the like, well, that's right, it should be this! ”
"Don't touch that thing!"
But seeing that Feng Lao was about to step forward and pick up the black staff as he spoke, I hurriedly rushed up to stop it, but it was still a step too late, Feng Lao picked it up and put it in his hand and looked at it, and this time we exclaimed at the same time: "Huh? Yes, yes, human bones?! ”
"Bang!"
Cold, a muffled sound came out, and I watched in a daze as a black gas came out of the black bone staff, and at the same time, the sound in the cave resounded!
Countless black shadows escaped from the cave, and in an instant, the entire cave fell silent, and the fishy smell disappeared.
And at this moment, Feng Lao stared at the black bone staff in his hand with a wooden face, and I also stepped forward to take a look, only to see that the top of the bone staff was...... It's a tiny skull! And below...... It is a piece of bone joints connected together, and the appearance is very terrifying!
Moreover, I found that there were strange runes vaguely carved on the bone staff, and this rune ...... How can it feel familiar?!
I looked down and thought about it, and suddenly raised my head to look at the rune again, not bad! It was during the White Ape River that I encountered a few strange hunters in the woods, and the black iron arrows they used were carved with runes of this kind!
Don't...... Could it be that the hunters you met in the woods were also witches?
It's a pity that I never had the opportunity to ask Master, but at least I'm a little sure now, even if those hunters are not Wu Clan, they must have a great connection with Wu Clan, huh!
Inadvertently, I saw that Feng Lao's appearance was a little strange, why did I look down at the old man for a long time and didn't see him silent, inexplicably, I frowned slightly, took two steps back unconsciously, and said loudly and angrily: "You are not Feng Lao!" ”
At the moment when my shout came out, Feng Lao suddenly raised his head and looked at me, his eyes became pitch black like ink at some point, and exuded a trace of oozing black qi!
"Hum hum hum ~~~"
A cold snort mixed with a sneer, came out of Feng Lao's mouth, suddenly, Feng Lao's feet rose from the ground, his whole body exuded a cloud of black gas, his eyes reminded people of the word vicious, glanced around faintly, and finally stared at me!
It's all at this juncture, I can't hide it, I turned over and took off the yellow cloth strip, which was wrapped in the cloth evil sword, I could clearly sense the powerful aura emanating from Feng Lao's body, so I didn't think that the peach wood sword in the magic bag alone could deter him, not to mention, I didn't know who crashed into Feng Lao's body, in order to save Feng Lao, I had to use the strongest magic weapon on my body!
"The Sword of the Evil Spirit?! Is there no one in the Maoshan Sect? I actually passed this sword to such a little doll as you, hum! The Great Tribulation Descends to ...... My black witch clan has such an unscrupulous descendant as me, and it can't even withstand that monster, but I believe that your little doll can't either! You can't...... The sword of the evil will not work......"
I didn't understand the meaning of this person's words at all, what I was most worried about at the moment was the safety of Feng Lao, if Feng Lao was overthrown by such a person, whether his soul could be complete or not was a matter, let alone reunite with his wife...... Wait a minute! He said that he was a descendant of the Black Witch Clan, it turned out that he was from the Black Witch Clan, I raised the yellow cloth strip, and said in a cold voice: "I don't care what you say, I must let go of this old man immediately, otherwise don't blame me for asking for the Evil Sword, if he has any accidents, I will fight for half my life and get you!" ”
"Hum hum hum ~~~ The black sun is back, the demonic spirit is soaring, take the soul devouring rod and find its home......"
Sentences of obscure words came out of Feng Lao's mouth, and the voice was like rolling thunder, and after a while, Feng Lao's whole body became weak, and he collapsed to the ground in an instant, and the black bone staff in his hand also fell to the ground with a "click".
"Old Feng!" I shouted and rushed forward, helped Feng Lao up, touched Feng Lao's pulse, fortunately he was still jumping, and his breath was even and powerful, it seemed that the thing that hit the body did not hurt Feng Lao, just thinking about it, Feng Lao slowly opened his eyes, and said in a somewhat difficult voice: "The seventh day of the first month, I ...... What's wrong with me? ”
I told Feng Lao about the collision just now, and Feng Lao suddenly jumped away in horror, looked at the black bone cane on the ground from a distance, and scolded angrily: "The broken crutch of the dog almost killed me!" ”
Ignoring Elder Feng, I carefully recalled the words of the person just now, it seemed that he disappeared after passing the words, as if he disappeared forever, could it be ...... Was it just a remnant just now? Or is this remnant just to tell me these words?
Black sun returns? Demonic? Isn't that the corpse demon that appeared in this area?!
Bring the Staff of Soul Eater...... Soul Eater Staff...... It turns out that the name of this staff is the Soul Eater Staff......
I turned my head to look at the animal carcasses outside, and took another breath: "It's really the legendary Soul Eater Staff, isn't it the thirty-six birds and seventy-two earth beasts who came to the funeral?" This pomp and circumstance ...... Tsk~~~"
