Chapter 14: Skeletons

There was no one in sight in the tower on the sixth floor, but it was glowing white, and there was a terrifying white light everywhere.

Xu Chen had only taken a step before he tripped over something under his feet, and when he looked down, he almost exclaimed in surprise, because there was a white bone skeleton lying on the ground.

One, two, three......

Xu Chen was surprised to find that there were skeletons piled up everywhere on the ground, and the gloomy white light turned out to be a phenomenon reflected by the moonlight shining on the skeletons through the decaying window lattice.

"It's not that you haven't killed anyone, are you still afraid of this thing?" When he said this, Wang Shen didn't look at Xu Chen, he was rummaging through these skeletons, as if he wanted to find some clues from them.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I didn't expect so many skeletons. Xu Chenqiang quibbled to himself, his face was hot again, and he suddenly found that his face was red a lot tonight.

"There are no scars on the bones, are they dying of disease? It's not quite like these skeletons were young people when they were alive, and they could easily get seriously ill and die. ”

Hearing Wang Shen talking to himself, Xu Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "If there is an outbreak of the plague, it is also possible that many people will die." ”

"Really?" Wang Shen shook his head and said, "If it's a plague, do you have the courage to move so many skeletons and put them here?"

Xu Chen was speechless, the person who died of the plague, everyone avoided his corpse, who dared to collect it together, and he was not afraid of infecting his own life.

"There weren't even any scraps of clothing, which seemed to be deliberate, suggesting that this wasn't the first place where skeletons died. Wang Shen asked him, "Why do the bandits pile these skeletons here?"

Xu Chen couldn't answer, so he had to touch the back of his head embarrassedly.

"They were piled up haphazardly, and it seems that the people who moved the bodies did not respect the dead at all. ”

"Of course!" Xu Chen couldn't help but interject: "They are bandits, you can't expect them to be compassionate monks, right?"

"Hehe, that's true, you're right. Wang Shen glanced upstairs and said, "You go up first to see if there is anyone." ”

"Okay. Xu Chen didn't think much about it, went up the stairs lightly, and after a while, he came down and said to Wang Shen: "It's strange, there is actually a door upstairs, which is locked." ”

There are no doors on the first to sixth floors, but a door is installed on the top floor, and everyone knows that there is something strange inside the top floor of the tower.

Wang Shen nodded and said: "It seems that the above is Su Jingzhi's residence, I really admire this old guy, there are so many skeletons piled downstairs, and he is not afraid of a terrible ghost coming to trouble him when he sleeps at night." ”

Xu Chen was a little panicked, lowered his voice and said, "Will we wake him up here?"

Wang Shen snickered and said, "Let me tell you the truth, it is indeed his residence above, but others are not inside." ”

Xu Chen asked in surprise: "How do you know, do you guess?"

"At night, while you were sleeping, I had sneaked out and surveyed the whole tower. ”

"What, you actually acted privately?" Xu Chen was stunned, he said angrily: "Then what are you doing with me, you have nothing to do when you are full?"

"I wanted to take you away, but suddenly there was a scream from the tower, and I had to pull you up again to see the movement. ”

"Yes, it's really strange that no one can scream!" Xu Chen frowned and said, "Are you saying that Su Jingzhi returned to the tower in the middle of the night to kill people? ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but say with palpitations: "Do you think Su Jingzhi will be on it now?"

"It's possible. Wang Shen snickered again: "Why don't you go up and slaughter him first, and then we will study this pile of bones?"

"Don't harm me, if Hu Yukun is also on it, I will die. ”

"Are you afraid of him?"

"With my current cultivation, I really can't beat him. However, Xu Chen immediately added: "Don't worry, it won't be long before I can cultivate to a higher and deeper realm, and it will be absolutely no problem to come back and beat him up when the time comes." ”

Wang Shen smiled noncommittally, pointed to the skeleton on the ground and said, "Do you want to know the cause of its death?"

"Of course I want to know. Xu Chen said casually: "If only it could speak." ”

"As you wish. Wang Shen had an elusive smile on his face, and then beckoned Xu Chen to help him lift the skeleton under his feet and put it in a posture of meditation.

"Hold me up in the back, don't let it fall. Wang Shen stretched out his long, yellow and slender fingers to his lips and gently recited a spell that Xu Chen couldn't understand.

Xu Chen looked at him nervously, and the hand holding the skeleton trembled involuntarily.

He suddenly found that Wang Shen seemed to have changed as a person, and at this moment, the worldly aura on his body suddenly disappeared, replaced by a solemn image, which made Xu Chen feel shocked and a little confused.

As Wang Shen finished reciting the incantation in his mouth, he suddenly pointed his finger at the skeleton's skull, and then shouted: "Appear!"

In an instant, the skeleton moved, and a wisp of blood light faintly appeared on the skeleton, it slowly expanded, and then spread to every bone of the skeleton like a tide, and at the same time, Xu Chen could also hear a man's moaning coming from the skeleton, this sound was very poignant, making people shudder.

"Ahh

With a "snap", the skeleton, which had lost its support, fell to the ground and scattered, and its bones fell to the ground.

"It's too reckless, aren't you afraid of alarming Su Jingji?" Wang Shen complained to him, and looked up again.

The two of them held their breath and stood as stiff as a stone, motionless. The inside of the tower suddenly became deathly quiet, and even the wind outside seemed to stop flowing in an instant.

After a long time, there was no movement from above, Wang Shen let out a long breath, and then complained to Xu Chen: "You messed things up, and now I can't summon the undead to ask the truth of the matter." ”

"I'm sorry Uncle Wang, I've never seen a dead skeleton move on its own before. Xu Chen's voice was slightly guilty.

"Forget it, it's also because I didn't explain it to you in advance. Wang Shen continued: "It's not that there is no gain at all, at least I already know that it has been dead for less than a month. ”

"A month?" Xu Chen's mouth couldn't close, he couldn't hold back his excitement, and said, "It will rot to the point that only bones are left in a month, how is this possible?"

"I don't know why, but someone must have tampered with the body. ”

Xu Chen suddenly asked, "Uncle Wang, how can you know the art of yin and yang?"

"I learned a little bit when I was young, but I didn't use it for a long time. ”

Xu Chen thought to himself, too, Master Pure Space is also good at Yin and Yin techniques, and it is not surprising that Wang Shen will summon the undead, maybe they are all taught by the same master.

Thinking of this, Xu Chen couldn't help asking: "Master Clearance is your senior brother, it stands to reason that you should have a good relationship, why do I feel that you and him are like enemies, always avoiding your senior brother?"

"Well, can you please not pretend to him in front of me?" Wang Shen sighed.

Xu Chen was a little unhappy when he saw him, and he didn't want to ask any more, anyway, he had decided that as long as he met the master again, he would hand over this old snitch to Jingkong, which could be regarded as the end of a wish.

Wang Shen said again: "It seems that we can't find more clues, so it's better to go upstairs and take a look." ”

"Okay. ”

The two went up to the top of the wooden ladder, Wang Shen used the copper hairpin to pry the lock again, pushed the door lightly, and the light of the lights suddenly appeared inside.

The two were taken aback, they didn't expect Su Jingzhi to sleep late, so they quickly bent down and looked in through the crack in the door, and after observing for a long time, they found that there was no one in the tower, but the hanging lights on the wall were not extinguished, which gave them the illusion that there were people inside.

The two sneaked in, and Wang Shen casually closed the heavy wooden door and looked at it.

The inside is very neat, the furniture is complete, although it is old, but the shape is simple, Wang Shen couldn't help but say: "Even the furniture is antique, Su Jingzhi is very rich." ”

In the corner, there are many cages and ritual utensils, and the most striking thing is the incense table in the middle of the house, on which a strange-shaped statue is enshrined.

Xu Chen frowned and said, "This is the statue of Dijiang. ”

He had already seen the same statue in the Lutheran Hall, but this one was only two feet tall, and the image was even more strange and hideous.

"I now finally understand why the bandits called Su Jingzhi the Great Wizard. Wang Shen said: "Taoism does not believe in Dijiang, it only exists in ancient legends. ”

Xu Chen responded: "I heard that Dijiang is one of the four fierce beasts of ancient times, and it seems that Su Jingzhi believes in an evil cult. ”

"Maybe. Wang Shen frowned, and stepped forward to look at the statue of Emperor Jiang, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Why is Su Jingzhen not here, where did he go?"

Just as Xu Chen was about to retreat, Wang Shen suddenly said to him: "The statue is a little strange, you come and touch it." ”

The simple-minded Xu Chen didn't think much about it, but thought that Wang Shen was afraid that there was something hidden in it that would hurt him, so he motioned for Wang Shen to stay away from the offering table, and then reached out to take the statue.

How did he know that the statue of Dijiang and the table were connected, Xu Chen couldn't even hold it, which couldn't help but make him a little embarrassed, and when he was about to cast a spell to forcibly pick it up from the table, Wang Shen said in a deep voice behind him: "Don't be reckless, turn it around first." ”

Xu Chen tentatively turned the statue according to his words, and couldn't help but say happily: "It's moving, is there really a mechanism?"

At the end of the sentence, a silver snake-like lightning bolt outside the tower pierced the night, followed by a thunderous thunderbolt, and the strong aftermath echoed for a long time in the dark night.

Xu Chen's scalp was numb, and he asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

Wang Shen seemed to have anticipated this situation a long time ago, and slowly spoke: "Sure enough, that's the case." ”

As the thunder continued to explode in the air, the gray rain curtain expanded magnificently in a short period of time and fell overwhelmingly.

"This ghost weather, no matter how you say it, it will change!" Xu Chen just complained, and something strange happened, the statue of the god of Dijiang suddenly shattered in his hands, and countless mirror-like fragments flew in front of his eyes, each fragment refracted a different scene.
