The battle ended very abruptly, and before the "ugly face" Liche could count the number of corpses of the Russian soldiers, the entire battlefield was bombarded beyond recognition, and even the flatbed truck full of heads was blown to pieces, and the seven coachmen and the air-dried heads turned into a pile of sauce-red minced meat that could not be distinguished from each other. At the edge of the dragon's power, Sammanda's head popped out of the grass, and the coachman muttered the Buddha in fright, and it was one of the doppelgangers who dragged him out of the village and hid in the grass, avoiding the catastrophe of destroying all the gods and bodies.

A figure gradually condensed in the air, Asai bent down and pulled out the "gluttony", returned the sword into the sheath with a click, and walked towards Jonah with a grin, "Yo, Brother Jonah." It didn't give me a good time, but it was a good time. ”

The astrologer looked at the Oriental man with a winch, feeling that the man with his braided hair and a bright smile in front of him had become very unfamiliar, "Asai, what the hell is going on with that?"

Before the Orientals could reply, the "Ugly Face" Liche walked up to them with Zuta and the Star Picker, "Get in the car, we'll rush to Quvyshti day and night, and we'll get into big trouble by killing Tanava, and soon the other demon gods will gather here." The Great Swordsman nodded at the Venerable Gowusha who was chanting, and motioned for him to take Jonah into the car.

The group returned to the carriage one after another. The giant elephant lowered his head and looked sluggish, he should have been frightened by the devastating blow just now, and he tried his best to calm him for a long time before he barely took his steps. The wheels slowly rolled over the scorched black earth, and Jonah looked out the window and was horrified to find Tanapha's body changing shape, spherical objects bulging in the pile of minced meat.

"Half of the Jizo Sutra failed to surpass all the resentful spirits. May they eat up their flesh and blood, and let them do no harm to others. Venerable Gowusha closed his eyelids and let out a muffled sigh.

Pale hands and faces emerged one after another, and countless resentful spirits howled bitterly and began to open their mouths to gnaw at Tanapo's corpse, and Jonah quickly turned his head, not daring to look at the nightmarish scene again.

Zuta still looked like he was sitting upright with a big golden sword, ignoring anyone, and the star picker turned his dexterous eyes to look at Asai secretly, and when he touched the gaze of the Oriental, he quickly moved away. Asai seemed to be in a good mood, and reached out and tugged at Jonah's sleeve: "Hey, Brother Jonah, I'm not a big eater of rice now, and I've done a little bit of strength for you, haven't I?"

The 17-year-old boy retracted his arm like an electric shock and leaned against the side of the carriage: "Yes, yes...... You're amazing......"

The Dongfang was stunned, showed snow-white teeth and smiled: "I know, are you blaming me for concealing the secret?" Don't worry, since I summoned the true body in front of you, it means that I regard you as a partner who can be trusted with my heart, and I will tell you whatever you ask." ”

“...... Really?" Jonah smacked at the word.

"It's a long story. Asai shifted his ass and struck a tirade, "In our family, which is so old that the family tree is three inches thick and the graveyard is infinitely large, the boys and girls of the lineage will go through a ritual at an early age and acquire a rather strange ability. This kind of ritual requires a lot of resources and takes many years to prepare, so it is only held for the descendants of the clan, and the children of the collateral line do not receive this treatment. - As you guessed it, I am the child of an insignificant branch - and the family will use another method to give the offspring of the side branch a chance, and if the child's mother agrees, they will open the 'pit of bones' when the child is forty-nine days old. Do you know what the Ten Thousand Bones Pit is?"

The astrologer shook his head in confusion.

"Of course you don't know. The Oriental smiled and patted his companion on the shoulder, "It is a deep, deep, very big cave, dug deep in the mountain where the ancestral tomb is located, closed with an iron door and locked with a brass lock. The forty-nine-day-old collateral offspring will be brought here by the clan elders, open the copper lock and iron door, throw it into the cave, close the iron door and copper lock, and then open the cave three days later to take out the child. Since it is called the 'Ten Thousand Bone Pit', of course, it is not cabbage and sweet potatoes, but bones. The bones of a child. The bones of a child who died less than 49 days after birth. The family collected the bones of these young children from all over the world and threw them into the 'pit of bones', and the children of the collateral who died in it after failing to complete the ritual, there must have been more than 10,000 children's corpses in it over the years. ”

Even as Assai told the story with a smile, Jonah felt a chill shiver, and the cold image of a weeping child being thrown into a bony cavern, the sun closed overhead, illuminating the darkness only with the phosphorus fires of the stars, and the chubby little hands touching the sunken eye sockets of the skeletons. He didn't expect the optimistic and lively Asai to have such an experience, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"And then, there are three outcomes for these kids. First, those who are very unlucky will die in it due to cold or hunger or insect eaters; second, those who are unlucky will return safely after three days, and will henceforth become a wasteful person with no status in the family, and will not be able to enter the main house where the ancestral tablets are enshrined for the rest of their lives, and live on meager offerings, and even house slaves will despise these incompetent masters; third, if they are lucky, they will get a strange ability in the 'Ten Thousand Bone Pit'. This ability varies from person to person, and no one knows what form it will take or how powerful it will be, - in the words of you Western Continents, this is called a mutation of the ability of the bloodline inheritor, just like the brother who plays with fire called Tu What Wa or something. The Oriental people talked about the cruel past with a relaxed expression, and even the Venerable Gao Wusha of Gujing Bubo opened his eyelids slightly and glanced at Ah Sai with cloudy eyes.

"It's—this is cruel......" Jonah felt sad at first, then angry, "why do this to the children? Forty-nine days, they don't know anything!"

The Dongfang shook his head: "No, no, you don't understand, it's not cruelty, it's the kindness of the family." In a country with constant wars, only strength is the foundation of the family, and the Eastern Continent also has countries and races, but the word family has a lofty status, first the family, then the country, and then the world. Everyone needs to play a role in the family, and this family status is something that every descendant with an ancient surname pursues all his life. Lineage is the most important factor, the descendants of the lineage have a strong innate advantage, and the 'Ten Thousand Bone Pit' gives a faint hope to the descendants of the side lineage. Even dying in a pile of bones is much better than living a humble life for the rest of your life. ”

The astrologer was very unfamiliar with this form of society, and his concept of "family" was limited to the surnames left behind by his ancestors, and in his full name, D. Jonah II, D is an abbreviation of the family name, "II" refers to the name he shared with his father, and "Jonah" is an abbreviation of "Joshua". But they don't give babies a choice, and many children don't want to compete for a place at all, they just want to live their lives in peace. He thought for a moment and said.

Asai was stunned for a moment, "You're right. However, this is how the family has been inherited for thousands of years, and the children of the side line can also get ahead, which is the greatest hope of life. ...... In short, that's how I acquired strange abilities. In short, I met a child who had just died in the 'pit of bones', and unconsciously, what was sleeping in my veins was activated, and I made some kind of exchange contract with this child, and I could never be separated from it again. I call my abilities 'Armor'. ”

"Do you mean the warrior in the rusty armor?" Jonah immediately conjured up the image of a warrior wrapped in bandages and tattered iron armor.

"No, no, no. The Oriental shook his fingers, "'Armor' refers to this body. He pointed to the tip of his nose and blinked, "This body." ”

Jonah was confused: "What did you say? Didn't you sit next to me alive?"

Asai grinned: "I am sitting next to you alive, but the body sitting next to you does not belong to me, but to the child who died in the 'Ten Thousand Bones Pit' many years ago. ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Venerable Gaowusha, Zuta, Star Picker, and Jonah all focused on Asai's face. A chill rose up his spine again, and Jonah rubbed his eyes, unable to believe that this elastic-skinned, gasping for breath was a dead child. He barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "Assai, you're really kidding......"

"Who are kidding?" the Oriental man squeezed his eyebrows with a sad face: "What's the good for me to lie to you?" I can't explain the bloodline ability too clearly, in short, what you see now is me who borrowed the body of an unknown child to walk in the world, this body will grow up, can breathe, eat, drink and Lazar is no different from ordinary people, and my symbiotic friend is amazingly talented, and it is easy to learn a good swordsmanship. Thanks to this body, it is enough to have it and this 'gluttony' on most occasions. ”

Jonah let out a hard gurgling sound in his throat, "You—you mean the one who came out of the dirt, that ......"

"That grizzled dude is the real me, yes. "My body has been stored in the Otherworld, and most of the time I sleep a lot, of course, there are times for cultivation, and every lazy insect has a time to be diligent." I can't tell if I'm alive or dead, but my own body can still walk around that world when I'm walking around with this body. But that world is not so beautiful, when I was a child, I encountered dangers all day long, I suffered a lot of injuries, and when I grew up, my whole body was still tattered and couldn't heal, so I just made do with it. By the way, that black sword is called 'Jairus', and it is the only weapon I have found that can be brought to the other world, and it is also one of the nine famous swords in the East along with 'Gluttony', it is ranked seventh, and it is a cautious, quick-tempered, and very short-tempered guy. ”

There was silence in the carriage, and no one knew how to face such a strange truth.

"Well, because I walk around on top of other people's bodies, as if I am wearing armor, I am called 'armor'. In fact, my summoning technique can't be called summoning art, it's just calling myself from a distant place, - by the way, 'gluttony' can communicate between the two worlds, saving a lot of effort to break the boundaries of space - because that world is a little more cruel than this world, so my strength in that world is a little higher than most people in this world,...... Do you understand?" said something very awkward, and the Oriental stuck out his tongue, looking a little embarrassed.

Still no one spoke.

This silence lasted for several hours, until the car slowly stopped, and Samanda excitedly shouted, "Qu Weishi mentioned it!"

Jonah then said with difficulty: "...... Assai, can I poke you in the face?"
