When the old man said this, he let out a long sigh and said, "Those bats were the spiritual pets raised by the Shura Sect in the early years, and they fled here with our group when the sect perished. Later, some of us slowly grew old and died, and there were more and more of them, and I could control them before and prevent them from going out to harm people, but now I can't control them anymore as a living dead. ”

I frowned and looked at this old man, it was indeed a dead look of running out of oil, but when I thought of the round light technique, it was impossible to distinguish whether he was telling the truth or not.

The fat man was also full of disbelief, and asked, "You are the only living person here?" But that day I saw another old man jump into the well, who was he? ”

The old man rolled his eyes and said, "You said he, he went out that day and was injured by you, and after he came back, he performed several soul hooking techniques in a row, and his body was too badly worn and died." ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How do you know that he was injured by me?" ”

The old man lifted his arm, which had no flesh, and pointed to the wall of the image, and replied, "It's all shown there." In order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, we fled here in a panic, and several masters in the sect worked together to lay out the 'Great Circle Light Formation'. This formation can show the situation near the well, so that we can see what is going on outside at any time in this temple. I saw you chasing him back that day, how can this be fake? ”

"So, you didn't make this round light technique?" I asked.

"The young man is good, he actually knows the Circle Light Technique." He praised me and laughed at himself, "Don't say that I'm half-dead now, even if I was in my heyday, I didn't have this ability." ”

I stared at his face, analyzed the possibility that he was lying, and asked, "You said that the old man is dead, where is his body?" ”

"You come with me." The old man said, turning and walking slowly towards a side hall.

His skinny body walked like a puppet, as if it hadn't gotten up and moved for eight hundred years.

I clenched my bone sword and followed behind with all my spirit.

There was a lamp on the door of the side hall, and after the old man lit it, he pointed to it and said, "See for yourselves!" ”

I was amazed by the fact that there were hundreds of babies all over the place, and in the center of these bones sat an old man.

This old man was skinny, similar to the dried corpses outside, and I checked it carefully, and there was no life, and he was already dead.

"This is the old man?" I asked the fat man.

The fat man nodded, looked at the dry bones all over the ground, and said in surprise: "These are all babies who were left behind back then?" ”

"Exactly." What the old man said was categorical and unquestionable.

"How did these bones get here?" I thought of a possibility and asked.

"Naturally, I picked it up. At some point, the nearby villages began to throw dead children into the well, and when these children came down, their ghosts persisted and ran to our Shura Gate to cry. That is, the people we were with were almost dead, and I saw that these children were pitiful, so I picked them up and let their souls stay here to be the company of a few of our old things who were not human or ghost. ”

"Later, we were the only ones who died, and this old guy was left, and in order to survive, he came up with a way to reincarnate and borrow life."

"All the forbidden techniques practiced by our Shura Sects, and reincarnation and longevity are one of them. This kind of spell allows people who die early to be reincarnated directly without going through the ordinary procedures, and for each time a little ghost is reincarnated, the caster can borrow three years of life from the little ghost......"

The old man was very eloquent, and we didn't ask, but he said a lot to himself.

But there is one more thing I don't understand, how did an old lady who was obviously asking for food turn into a dry old man in his mouth?

So I asked.

I didn't expect me to ask like this, so after a little hesitation, he said, "I didn't expect that this young man of yours would know about the events of the year...... The old lady was his illusion. We, the Shuramen, can transform all living things. ”

After hearing this, the fat man asked, "Since he has achieved the purpose of borrowing his life, why does he still want to absorb people's vitality?" ”

He was obviously still haunted by the fact that he had been sucked in the coffin that day.

"Borrowing one's life is to live, and absorbing sperm is for cultivation. He is not as content with the status quo as me, he has always been ambitious, and he wants to cultivate to the great perfection, go to the Shura realm, and live forever. I don't want him to meet you and be hurt by you this time. Our body, which is yin and yang, is closer to ghosts, and the blood on the tip of the tongue is fatal to us. ”

The old man was not in a hurry, he looked like he knew everything, and even said that the blood on the tip of his tongue could kill him, and it seemed that he was defenseless against us.

But I always felt that something was wrong, and I still didn't let my guard down against him.

"So many people have died, why did you survive alone?"

The old man shook his head and sighed: "I didn't understand, everyone is dead, why don't I die?" Hell knows I'm alone in this dark place, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. You two are here today, so come and talk to me. ”

His words left me speechless for a while, how could it be like this?

Originally, the fat man and I came to catch the demon, but now the demon is talking eloquently, and there is no hostility at all!

I didn't take all of his words for granted, but I couldn't kill him with a single sword, and it sounded like he wasn't at fault.

Now what?

It's impossible to chat with him here, right?

After thinking about it, I finally came up with a question that I thought I could test him: "Is there any way to get rid of those demon bats outside?" ”

The old man didn't even think about it: "There are methods, and it's very simple, just catch them and burn them with fire." ”

The fat man immediately glared: "Is this still simple?" Thousands and hundreds of them are flying in the sky, how can they catch them? ”

The old man was amused and said, "It seems that you two still don't understand the habits of bats, they go out at night, and they will naturally come back during the day, as long as you wait here until tomorrow, you can catch them all." ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused for a moment, as if he was afraid that we would not believe it, and added: "I was reluctant to harm their lives, after all, they have been with me for so many years, but I can't see it anymore." If I die, our Shura Sect will disappear completely, so let them disappear with me. ”

As he spoke, a trace of sadness appeared on his shriveled old face, and he sighed heavily, and slowly sat down on the stone steps, looking at a large area of dried corpses in a daze.

The fat man glanced at me, his eyes full of what to do.

"In that case, then we're waiting for those demon bats to come back." I sat down next to the old man and said to the fat man.
