Chapter 15: Strange Things in the Graveyard
[Fusion progress (35%)]
This is the second day after the start of fusing the bone demon, and the fusion progress has come to 35%, and it is estimated that in another three days and four days, Shen Mu will be able to have his own new spirit root and new form.
"I don't know if Lao Dao has returned to Peach Blossom View now."
It has been almost half a month since Shen Mu left the Peach Blossom Temple. For half a month, he has been walking in one direction, between these green mountains.
I don't know if it's because he chose the wrong direction at the beginning, but to this day, there are mountains and mountains around him.
Sometimes, he wondered if he might just catch a flying monster and fuse it.
"Huh? Green smoke? ”
Shen Mu, who was jumping between the branches, was suddenly attracted by a few wisps of green smoke that appeared in front of him.
He jumped up to the treetops and looked into the distance, only to see wisps of green smoke rising from the sunset under the hillside in the distance, and in the distance, there was no trace of a wildfire.
Obviously, this is a trace of human activity, and it is evening, and it is very likely that these green smoke are cooking smoke, that is, in that direction, there are human villages and towns.
"Looks like I'm not wrong!"
Shen Mu was happy in his heart, if he took the wrong direction from the beginning, he didn't know how long he would have to wander in this mountain.
Following the direction of the rising smoke, Shen Mu finally came to the edge of the forest at midnight.
Here, the trees no longer stretch forward, but instead there is a grave.
Where there are graves, there are naturally people.
Thinking of this, Shen Mu returned to his human form, and if a passing passerby found a monkey with strange behavior in the cemetery, it would scare others.
Of course, there shouldn't be any people coming to the cemetery at this time.
"For half a month, I basically moved in the form of a monkey, which made me almost think I was a monkey. By the way, what do I look like? ”
Shen Mu touched his face with his hand, but he couldn't recall his appearance.
During this time, because he was busy with the road, Shen Mu didn't think about this kind of thing, even when he was drinking water by the stream, what was reflected was just a hairy face.
Moreover, after a person has experienced the baptism of ten years, his appearance has definitely changed.
What's more, when the predecessor was taken away, he was just a child. Ten years is enough time for a child to grow into an adult, and grow into a stranger who may not know his parents.
"In that case, how can I prove that I am me?"
This is a problem, Shen Mu tilted his head hard, looked back and forth, and even broke some places, but found nothing like a birthmark.
And in the process of looking for birthmarks, Shen Mu suddenly discovered a grim fact.
That is, he is not wearing clothes now, and the strip of cloth he picked up in the Peach Blossom Temple before, after the transformation, he has long since lost his knowledge of where he has flown to.
Monkeys are covered in hair, and the trees, needless to say, don't seem to have any concerns about this.
As for humans, after a long period of evolution, they have lost most of their body hair and also gained shame, unlike animals, most humans know how to cover shame.
And as a well-educated young man who has no habits in that area, Shen Mu can't stand the situation of being undressed.
"Gotta hurry up and find out if there's anything we can do first."
Shen Mu hunched his back, holding two spans, took strange steps in the cemetery, looking around.
This scene, if it happens to be seen by passers-by, will definitely leave an indelible shadow on his life, so that every time he has a nightmare, he can dream of that white stripe, which looks like a human being.
But fortunately, after some searching, Shen Mu found a burlap gown and pants in front of a small mound.
"There it is!"
Shen Mu hurriedly stretched out his hand, first put on his pants, and when he wanted to pick up the clothes, he found that the clothes seemed to be hooked by something.
In order to prevent his clothes from being torn, Shen Mu didn't dare to use force, so he moved his gaze below.
Underneath the clothes, there was a hand sticking out of the ground, and at this moment the hand was firmly grasping the clothes, preventing Shen Mu from taking it away.
"It's offended, I'm leaving."
It turns out that there is a master's thing, and a gentleman does not take the favor of others. Shen Mu could only let go of his hand and look for other things that could hide his body.
But when Shen Mu let go of his hand, that hand also let go at the same time, and his clothes were blown up by a sudden wind and fell to the far side of the cemetery. And that hand, too, retracted into the ground.
"What does this mean, agree to wear it for me?"
Shen Mu looked at the dead hands that disappeared in front of him, and didn't pay much attention to them, in this world, it is not surprising that this kind of thing will appear. Then he walked briskly in the direction where his clothes were falling.
"Woo~Woo~"
Soon, Shen Mu came to the place where the clothes fell, and just after he got dressed, a strange whining sound suddenly sounded in his ears, as if a woman was crying.
"Anyone?"
Shen Mu followed the sound and looked for it, but came to the other end of the grave slope.
Here, in the midst of the tombs, a wasteland appeared.
In the middle of the wasteland, there is a red sedan chair used by the bride to get married. The ground next to the sedan chair was sprinkled with round banknotes.
At this time, the sedan chair shook slightly, and it looked like a living creature inside.
And the "woo" sound that Shen Mu heard came from the red sedan chair.
Barren mountains and mountains, a barren grave, such a scene is a little scary. If it weren't for Shen Mu's cultivation on his body, I'm afraid he would have fled a long time ago, how dare he stay longer.
When Shen Mu was about to go to investigate the strange red sedan chair, a nearby tomb was one step ahead of him, and it suddenly exploded, filling the sky with dust.
A black figure jumped out of it, and the smell of rancid corpses suddenly drilled into Shen Mu's nose with the wind.
"It stinks!"
Shen Mu hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and poked his head out from behind the stone tablet where he was hiding.
The figure that jumped out of the grave turned out to be a white-haired corpse demon, covered in green pus, trembling and dragging one of its legs towards the red sedan chair.
The creature in the sedan chair also seemed to be aware of the changes in the outside world, and the "whining" sound became louder as it shook more violently.
Although the white-haired corpse demon looked like it was disabled, it was not slow to move, and soon came to the front of the sedan chair.
I saw it open the curtain with ease, and its hands with long nails reached into the sedan chair and pulled a figure out of it.
"It's a person?!"
Shen Mu looked fixedly, and the one who was dragged outside the sedan chair by the corpse demon turned out to be a bride wearing a red robe, and her hands and feet were tied with hemp rope.
By this time, her red hijab had already slipped off, revealing her tear-stained cheek.
His eyes were red and swollen, full of fear. The covered mouth can only make a "woo" cry for help, but I don't know if anyone will respond to him.
In the face of the powerful corpse demon, the weak girl dressed as a bride could not struggle at all, and when she saw the terrifying face of the other party, she fainted.
The corpse demon didn't do anything to the girl immediately, but picked up the girl who had passed out, held her on her shoulder, and walked in a certain direction purposefully.
