Chapter 8: The Grave of Blood
Ye Boyu was worried about Wang Baiqin's safety, relying on the fearlessness of the ignorant, and said: "Girl, since the Divine Dao seal is so powerful, it is better for the two of us to sneak around the bushes on both sides, and we can find a safe road a little." ”
The girl in purple also said helplessly at this time: "Well, since you are here, the Seven Star Pillar in front of you is the treasure of the Bloody Clothes Hall, and we can't provoke it, let alone the Ancestor Seal." There is no good plan left and right, so let's go and take a look at the blood mounds on both sides. ”
After the girl in purple finished speaking, the blue light flashed, the long sword was already in her hand, and said: "The blood mound is extremely dangerous, far from being compared to the female corpse just now, you must follow me closely, no matter what happens or what you see for a while, you are not allowed to leave me three steps away." With that, he lifted his feet and walked into the bushes on his left.
"Yes, yes. Ye Boyu hurriedly agreed, only to feel that the palms of his hands were cold, but the sweat in the palms of his hands mixed with blood kept flowing down.
Strange to say, as soon as the two of them stepped into the woods on the left, they saw thousands of green firefly lights lit up under their feet, and the stars were very beautiful.
The further they go, the more green glowworms there are, and then they are so dense that they don't even have a place to put their feet, helplessly, the two of them can only step on the glowworms and go forward, and they don't know what this glowworm is, but it looks very nice and cute, but the two of them can't bear to step on it too much.
After walking a little further, they saw that there seemed to be a black shadow under the tree in front of them, lying still, and the two walked in, but they saw a white bone, and the white bone was surrounded by green glowworms, as if all these many glowworms were scattered from this white bone.
Ye Boyu has seen a lot of knowledge all night, and he is not very afraid of a white bone now, he lowered his head and looked carefully, only to see the white bone leaning obliquely under a big tree, and his figure does not seem to be very tall, and the unknown blue flowers that are blooming in clusters can be faintly seen around the big tree, and there is a dagger with a turquoise sheath inserted in the blue flower bush, which should be the weapon of this white bone.
The girl in purple stood under the tree, looked at the white bones, and said: "Although the Blood Cloak Hall has killed people and oversold goods in recent years, the methods are despicable and cruel, and everything it has done is hurtful to the heavens and reason, but at the beginning of the founding of the sect, it is said that it was a righteous sect, although its whereabouts are strange, but it still never harms the good, protects the people, and has also produced several famous knights. ”
Ye Boyu didn't know what the Blood Cloak Hall was for, so he pointed to the white bone and asked, "Then this white bone, didn't you say that this is the holy place for the bones of the hall masters and elders of the past dynasties?"
"It is said that the rules of the Bloody Clothes Hall are like this. With the exception of the founding patriarch, the bodies of all the hall masters and elders must be buried here after their deaths, and they must be buried in the sky, so the bones will be in the open air. The girl in purple said faintly: "The blood clothes hall has always been strange, most of the people outside the hall don't know why, and the style of acting is very different from that of the Central Plains, and I don't know which hall master or elder left this white bone." ”
Suddenly, the woman in purple pointed to the two white bones on the ground, frowned and said to herself: "Strange, where are these white bones, how could they appear here inexplicably?"
Ye Boyu looked in the direction that the woman in purple said, there were two white bones lying crookedly on the blue brick pavement, it seemed that they were both dwarfs before their deaths, and they were obviously attacked by something and died on the side of the road, unlike the white bones of those hall masters and elders just now. Ye Boyu thought about it, he knew that these must be two people from the Five Wonders of the Western Regions, but he didn't expect to be buried here for no reason at such a moment.
Ye Boyu didn't pick it out, and the woman in purple looked at it for a while, but she couldn't think of what the situation was, so she had to give up for the time being.
Ye Boyu knew that the folk customs of Xiangxi were very different from those of the Han people in the hinterland of the Central Plains, not to mention this kind of mysterious gang, there must be many unheard of strange customs, and after listening to what the woman in purple had just said, it was not strange, and he asked: "In this case, then this dagger is definitely not the favorite weapon of the hall master and elder, maybe it is still a rare treasure." ”
The woman in purple glared back, and then said, "The previous hall masters and elders of the Blood Cloak Hall are all great experts in Gu and poison, and you dare to have a crooked heart about the things they left behind? Be careful of your little life." Besides, there are a lot of earth-shattering big people here, so let's be respectful and don't bother them. ”
"That must be, that must be. Ye Boyu said in his heart: "It's so powerful to be alive, but it's so powerful to die?" I just don't believe in this evil. But after listening to what the girl in purple said, she didn't dare to fight any more treasures, thinking that it was better to rescue Wang Baiqin as soon as possible and leave this ghost place was the right way.
The two of them cautiously bypassed the white bones and walked all the way, but they saw more and more white bones along the way, standing or standing, lying or lying, in different forms, as if they were all dying in place, not being moved in by others after death. Most of the weapons around Bai Gu have weapons, some are knives, some are staffs, and some are strange-shaped, unnamed weapons, I think they are the unique blades of the Blood Clothes Hall. The only thing that is the same is that each skeleton is surrounded by green glowworms and unknown blue flowers.
After walking for a stick of incense, Ye Boyu had an understanding of the general pattern of the blood mound, the depths of the bushes crisscrossed and criss-crossed, and the Go chessboard was like a row of dozens of bluestone roads, and there was a sentence of white bones in the middle of each two roads, and the green light was shining all around, only to see a cluster of dense forests, and I couldn't see where was the end of the blood mound behind the dense forest.
After walking for a long time, Ye Boyu's physical strength was exhausted after all, his footsteps gradually slowed down, and from time to time he lowered his head and gasped for breath, and suddenly found that there was something wrong on the ground, only to see a white bone in front of him, and a green sheath dagger was inserted in front of the white bone, and what he saw in the moonlight was exactly the one they saw at the beginning.
The girl in purple had already seen it, stopped, paused, and said, "You don't have to go anymore, we can't get out of this place." ”
"Ghosts hit the wall!" Ye Boyu's mind quickly flashed through the stories of various ghosts hitting the wall that the third uncle had said before.
"No, this must be the Qimen formation laid out by the master of the Blood Cloak Hall. People who don't understand the formation will never be able to get out of this blood grave until they die of exhaustion here. The woman in purple shook her head.
"That's amazing!, let's go back the way we came. When he heard that it was more powerful than a ghost hitting the wall, Ye Boyu hurriedly said.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy, you take a good look left and right, where is the way we came?" said the woman in purple in a low voice.
Ye Boyu hurriedly raised his head and looked around carefully, only to see that the moonlight was like silver, sprinkled in the trees and grass, in a cloud of green light, the road under his feet extended in all directions, and it stretched to the four directions, but the end of each road was hidden in the boundless darkness, and he could not see where the end led.
Ye Boyu has liked all kinds of strange books since he was a child, and he has also seen the descriptions of various magical formations from the books, such as Zhuge Kongming's Eight Formations in the Three Kingdoms, just tens of thousands of stones can trap the hundreds of thousands of troops in Eastern Wu, and all kinds of gods and ghosts and monsters are mixed up, and they are gods and gods, and the strange formations are endless, gods and gods, Ye Boyu just laughed when he saw it at the time, thinking that it was just the whimsy of the writer. Later, the third uncle gave himself several of the simplest formations and spells, and practiced for a while, although he had no true yuan, he could only have his appearance, but he was barely able to use one or two, and he also knew that the practice of the formation, one was related to the cultivation of the formation himself, and the other was related to the magic materials used in the formation. I didn't expect that one day I would be trapped in this kind of formation that I had been envious of for a long time, thinking of this, my fear decreased slightly, and a trace of chagrin and curiosity surged in my heart.
The woman in purple pondered for a long time, her expression became more and more anxious, she kept looking at the moon above her head, silently calculating the time in her heart, walked back and forth more than a dozen times before and after, turned around, and said in a hateful voice: "The left and right are also a death, I want to see what means these masters of the Blood Cloak Hall have!"
Ye Boyu was startled, and was about to persuade the girl in purple not to be reckless and act carefully, but there was still time.
As soon as the dagger was pulled away, the countless green fluorescent insects in front of them disappeared without a trace, and the stone lamp on the side of the road also lost its light, and the two of them suddenly went dark in front of them, and even the crescent moon just now suddenly disappeared, Ye Boyu and the girl in purple looked at each other, as if they had fallen into the boundless darkness all of a sudden.
Neither of them dared to move, only listening to the sound of each other's rapid breathing, since meeting the girl in purple, Ye Boyu had never seen her so nervous, and he couldn't help but be scared, and couldn't help but lean towards the girl in purple.
Suddenly, hearing a sound of "rustling" in the distance, Ye Boyu couldn't bear it anymore, reached into his arms, and shook the fire fold.
A faint firelight illuminated the two of them, Ye Boyu looked around, and found that the situation around the two was very different, the two stood side by side in an open field, the firelight shone forward, and suddenly saw that not far in front of them were the seven big copper pillars full of giant pythons, and the giant pythons on the copper pillars opened their teeth and claws, like living creatures.
"Oh no, we're back to the Seven Star Pillar. The woman in purple exclaimed in a low voice.
Ye Boyu didn't know why, why the two of them suddenly returned to the original Seven Star Pillar inexplicably. Hearing the sound of "squirming" just now, it became louder and louder, as if popping beans, Ye Boyu took the fire fold and shone it to the ground, only to see a black shadow surging towards the two of them, densely packed I don't know how many, like a layer of black waves. Seeing that the two of them were in front of them, these black figures stopped, each stretching out two small wings, flashing and stopping in the air, emitting a dotted green light, confronting the two, as if waiting for someone's command, ready to rush up at any time.
"It's a ghoul. Come on. The purple-clothed girl's face couldn't help but change color, and she grabbed Ye Boyu and had no way out, so she could only run towards the Seven Star Pillar in front of her.
Please look forward to watching the next chapter, "The Seven Star Soul Locking Array".
