Chapter Eighty-Seven: Ghost Bones
"Not a legend?"
Liu Bei and Yuan Chun were stunned, and they didn't understand why Xue Chuan suddenly said such a thing.
Liu Bei couldn't help but say:
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's all an old legend, do you still believe it?"
Xue Chuan glanced at Liu Bei deeply:
"Yes, this legend is very old, but why has it been so long? Have you thought about the reason?"
Liu Bei was stunned:
"It's... But it's just a lie..."
Xue Chuan shook his head:
"I thought the same way back then, but later I realized that all legends are based on facts..."
Yuan Chun also heard some special flavors:
"Brother Xue, is it convenient to tell me your story?"
Xue Chuan looked at the things that were being carried up on the booth and said calmly:
"Let's take a look at this last auction first. ”
Yuan Chun and Liu Bei suppressed the curiosity in their hearts and set their eyes on the booth.
The thing was wrapped in a black cloth with dozens of red threads mixed on it, and the threads were strangely colored, and looked like they were soaked in blood.
In addition to the red line, there were also several pieces of yellow paper with unknown characters drawn on them, which were pasted on top of the black cloth bag, which looked very strange.
As the black cloth was brought to the stands, the temperature around seemed to drop a lot out of thin air, and a heart-wrenching atmosphere enveloped the entire auction house, so that no one made a sound.
Pan Lao also looked very afraid of the black cloth-wrapped thing, took a few steps back, and then narrated:
"If the old man told you that this cloth was wrapped in something brought out of the Netherworld, would you believe it?"
The crowd fell silent, some of them mouthing open to speak, but they couldn't say a word in the eerie atmosphere.
Although it was just a cloth bag, it made everyone present feel a wind in their backs, and an indescribable sense of fear came to their minds.
"What you brought out of the Netherworld..."
Xue Chuan's eyes were still staring at the cloth bag, as if he wanted to see through the layer of cloth to see what was inside.
Pan Lao's voice was hoarse because he was too low:
"This cloth bag is a spell from the Heavenly Master Pavilion invited by a special person, so that it can suppress the things inside, if there is no outer cloth, what will everyone here do... It's hard to say..."
However, even if Pan Lao said so, there were still a few people who did not believe in evil and said with a smile:
"Pan Lao, what you said is so evil, can you open this cloth bag and show us?"
This was originally just a joke, but who knew that Pan Lao smiled mysteriously:
"If I don't show it to you, why do you want to bring it?"
At this moment, the seat fell silent again, and everyone was staring at the black cloth bag, each with a ghost in their hearts.
Pan Lao took out a thin hook from his arms, connected it with an iron wire, and put it on the knot of the cloth bag, and then pressed it in his palm, and said in his mouth:
"Everyone... Hold on and be careful!"
The iron hook hooked the knot, and with a strong tug, the dark red string was untied, so that the tightly bound cloth bag was slowly opened in front of everyone's eyes.
When the items inside revealed their true faces, Xue Chuan only felt a thunderbolt in his mind, and then he stood up in a gaffe, and even knocked over the teacup on the side!
Liu Bei and Yuan Chun were also attracted by that thing, and they were dumbfounded:
"It's... It's..."
Xue Chuan trembled, feeling the suddenly thickened, incomparably clear yin qi around him, gritted his teeth and said:
"Hellish head!"
What a skull it was! Hideous skeletal structure that did not resemble a human form, short, sharp fangs, slender cheeks, and two hollow eye sockets were a thick black fog that could not be dissolved, as if it could attract the soul of a human being!
The moment the skull was revealed, the lights in the entire auction house dimmed a little, and the murmur echoed throughout the hall, making people delirious.
All the people sitting in the seats couldn't help but lean their backs against the chairs, their hands clutching the armrests, and their eyes staring at them in horror, as if they wanted to flee quickly.
Pan Lao's hand trembled, and he once again took out a piece of talisman paper from his bosom, but the characters on it were written in the blood of some animal, and then it slammed flat on the skull.
At that time, the vision of this head was much more subdued, and the chilling yin qi was also suppressed, and there was no longer a humbling sound that made people's souls unstable, which made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.
Unlike the others, the impact of this skull on Xue Chuan was much more terrifying, Xue Chuan only felt that the skull still seemed to be emitting a terrifying roar, and the dark eye sockets seemed to be staring at him, wanting to drag him into the Nine Shadows!
Xue Chuan's eyes were full of shock, and there was a sound of iron chains ringing in his ears, as if there was a figure dragging the cold and black iron chains, trying to hook his soul!
Even if the blue sky was running and the black and white trees were crazy and rising and falling, the surging qi and blood could not bring Xue Chuan the slightest warmth, but made his heart even more powerless.
Like the dying struggle of a drowning person, although he has the will to survive, he can only sink into the water weakly.
Xue Chuan's teeth chattered, his muscles were tense all over his body, and the surface of his skin was red due to the excessive operation of qi and blood, but the fear that lingered in his heart still could not be dissipated.
This ghost, even if there is only one skull, has found that among all the people present, only Xue Chuan should not remain in the Yang World!
"Roll !!!"
Xue Chuan roared hoarsely, the black and white tree species in his body operated to the extreme, and the body and soul fused together, making the soul extremely stable, not affected by the skull, and expelling the yin qi that invaded his body.
"Although my life is at the end of my life, I still have a few months left to live!
Xue Chuan roared angrily in his heart, questioning the head. An anger that welled up from the bottom of his heart expelled the fear, giving Xue Chuan's limbs a little more strength, making him more confident in questioning.
"I once dispersed my longevity and passed thousands of souls into the afterlife, but I was affected by your underworld, and my body was abnormal, and at this time, I had to hook my soul in advance, how can heaven exist!"
There seemed to be a ghostly ghost fire floating in the eye sockets of the skull, and after listening to Xue Chuan's roar in his heart, he was strangely calm, and he no longer had the restlessness he had at the beginning.
At the same time, Pan Lao realized that there seemed to be something abnormal about this skull, so he injected some spiritual power into the talisman and further suppressed the skull.
At this time, Xue Chuan felt that the yin qi and the roar of the powerful ghost had left him, so his body loosened and slumped on the chair, only to realize that his body was already sweating profusely.
Liu Bei, who was on the side, looked at Xue Chuan's prostration, and was also surprised:
"What are you?"
Xue Chuan smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"This thing is too wicked... And it's a little entangled with me..."
Yuan Chun was also taken aback:
"Brother Xue, do you recognize this thing? What the hell is it called?"
When Liu Bei heard this, he also remembered this stubble, and also looked at Xue Chuan in confusion.
Xue Chuan took a big sip of tea to relieve the discomfort, and then said in a low voice:
"The ghost is the Yin Cao Difu, which is specifically responsible for hooking up those living souls who have exhausted their yang life, but they have stayed in the world. ”
Liu Bei was shocked:
"Is there really a netherworld?!"
Xue Chuan nodded solemnly:
"Yes! And I almost lost my life!"
Yuan Chun also came forward:
"Brother Xue, how did you get involved with the Netherworld?"
Xue Chuan shook his head:
"It's a long story, I was just a mortal..."
Next, Xue Chuan briefly recounted his experience, and deliberately concealed Liu Shengyi's existence, but just prevaricated for another reason to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Liu Bei and Yuan Chun listened to what Xue Chuan said, and felt that the entire worldview had been subverted, originally what they thought was just an illusory thing, but at this time, it was really in front of them!
Liu Bei couldn't help but say:
"You... Are you really lying?"
Xue Chuan sighed:
"Why did I make up such a story when I lied?
Hearing this, Liu Bei was also terrified, and he was also full of jealousy about the head on the booth:
"This is the skull of the devil? just a bone, but so evil..."
Xue Chuan took a deep breath and stared at the hideous head:
"I want to know more about who can snatch the head of a ghost from the underworld!"
When Yuan Chun and Liu Bei on the side heard this, they also reacted, yes, what kind of strong man can take off the head of the ghost?
The old man at the booth was very satisfied with the performance of everyone at this time, and then wrapped the black cloth again, and eased the atmosphere with a gentle laugh:
"Well, the old man didn't lie, did he?"
Someone hesitated:
"But Pan Lao... Although this skull is weird, it can't prove that it is something from the Netherworld, after all, it is just a legend..."
"That's not a legend. ”
A divine thought came out of the wing room of the Cold Bone Villa.
Everyone looked at the people from the Cold Bone Villa, full of doubts.
"Pan Lao, if my guess is correct, this should be the skull of the ghost, right?"
The divine thought came out again, which made Pan Laodu's face startled, and he couldn't help but bow down and say:
"Exactly!
As soon as the word "ghost" came out, the people in the seats exploded and talked about what this ghost difference was.
The people of the Cold Bone Villa obviously didn't have that much patience, and said directly:
"For those who don't understand, no amount of explanation is useless. Pan Lao, quote directly, this skull, I want it from Cold Bone Villa!"
Hearing these arrogant words, everyone was unhappy, but they couldn't refute it, and even Pan Lao was extremely respectful to this Cold Bone Villa, so no one dared to speak out.
Pan Lao nodded, and was just about to make an offer, but he heard a woman's chuckle coming from the other direction, her voice was gentle, but with an uncontrollable wildness and agility:
"Who gave you the confidence to make you feel that this skull belongs to you?"
