Xia Yulong, the old man, Lan Xin and the three wolves avoided the rain overnight in the ancient tomb, and a ray of light was transmitted from the gap at the top of the stone wall in the northwest corner, shining in the pool of clear water on the ground, the old man knew that the sky was already bright, but he didn't know if the wind and rain outside had stopped.

The rain on the Ling Mountain was not long in coming, at most it was only a day, and it was all over the night, and the rain should stop, the old man was pounding in his heart, so he climbed along the stone stairs by the stone wall to the crack at the top.

The old man pushed away the weeds around the crack and poked his head out, the mountains in front of him were low, the eastern sky was crimson, the air was unusually fresh, and the birds were chirping.

This is the top of Lingshan, the old man has not climbed here for a long time, he can't help but linger, stop for a long time, take a few long deep breaths, and say: "It's really beautiful, the rain outside has stopped, let's go out to repair the wooden house." He walked down the stone staircase and changed into another piece of clothing.

Lan Xin was curious, she also wanted to climb up the stone stairs to the gap to see what kind of beautiful scenery was outside, which could make Grandpa so admired, but the old man said that he was leaving, and had opened the stone door.

Lan Xin was a little unwilling and asked, "Grandpa, can't you get out of this gap, and can't you go back along the road?" ”

The old man smiled: "Silly girl, it's okay to go out of this gap, but it takes a lot of trouble, it's easy to climb up, but it's difficult to come down, and the weeds are full of rain, I'm afraid that your clothes will be wet, and the dew will be heavy on a rainy day, and you will get sick." ”

Xia Yulong continued: "There is a round green meadow above, and there is a big tree in the middle, which is the top of the Ling Mountain, and you can see the low mountains and clouds all around, which is very beautiful, but it is full of cliffs and cliffs, which are very high and cannot go down." ”

Hearing Xia Yulong say this, Lan Xin was even more moved, if she could see the scenery above with her own eyes, it would be wonderful, she wanted Xia Yulong to take her up to see, as soon as the words came to her mouth, the old man had already walked out of the stone gate, Lan Xin pouted, and reluctantly followed.

The old man and they returned along the road, and the blue core was silent along the way, thinking to himself, if it wasn't for the wind and rain, grandpa would not have taken them into the ancient tomb......

Lan Xin has loved to travel in the mountains and rivers since she was a child, and she has been to play in the "Blue Deep Sea", "Colorful Mountain", and "Purple Cloud Fairy Cave", but she has not overlooked the mountains on the top of the mountain, I don't know what it feels like, she can't help but feel a little sad.

At this time, Xia Yulong touched her with his elbow and said in a low voice: "I'll take you up later, the wooden house was blown over by the wind, and grandpa was in a hurry to repair the wooden house, but grandpa regarded the wooden house as more important than life, don't you see grandpa in a hurry?" ”

Lan Xin also asked in a low voice, "Really, no wonder Grandpa walked so fast and in a hurry." ”

Xia Yulong said "um" and said: "It's true, grandpa is so old, we have to try to make him angry as little as possible, the old man will be rejuvenated, I see that grandpa's temper is not as good as before, the older a person is, the more like a child's temper, this is the reason." ”

Lan Xin smiled and said, "You know a lot. ”

Xia Yulong said: "I know a little bit about it, you have more knowledge than me, I can't compare to you." ”

Lan Xin said: "You have all seen my skills, and you can only do this, you are more capable than me." ”

Xia Yulong said: "Grandpa's ability is great, but he is old now, and he can't do a lot of effort, he said that when he was young, he could kill a cow with one palm." ”

Blue Core let out a "wow" and said, "It's so powerful, it's really powerful." ”

Xia Yulong sighed lightly and said: "Grandpa is really more and more like a child's temper, sometimes I wake up at night and find that grandpa is not sleeping in the house, I went outside the house to find grandpa, grandpa is sitting on the wooden bench in front of the wooden house in a daze, I asked grandpa why he didn't sleep and sat alone in front of the wooden house?" Grandpa said, people are old, sleepy less, closer and closer to the soil, want to leave more time to see the world, otherwise I will never see it again, several times grandpa also cried, I asked grandpa why he cried, is Yulong angry with grandpa, grandpa shook his head and said nothing, after a long time, grandpa said, it's not about Yulong. ”

Lan Xin let out an "ah", frowned, and asked, "It's so decent, why is grandpa crying?" ”

Xia Yulong said: "After that, I thought, grandpa is probably thinking about his mother-in-law, that is, my grandmother, my grandma has passed away for decades, can he not want to?" ”

Lan Xin looked at the old man walking in front, covered his mouth and smiled: "You just blow it, I wonder if grandpa heard you say bad things about him?" ”

The tomb was unusually quiet, and any sound could be heard in your ears.

Although Xia Yulong's voice was small, the old man had not yet reached the point of being dizzy, he was still as strong as an ox, with bright eyes and deaf ears, and their voices still faintly reached the old man's ears.

A smile crossed the corner of the old man's mouth, and he said in his heart: "This guy seems to know everything." He shook his head and walked on.

Lan Xin laughed in a low voice: "You see grandpa shook his head, angry, he must have heard you say bad things about him, see how he will clean you up later, hehe......"

Xia Yulong smiled: "Will you help me then?" ”

Lan Xin said: "You were cleaned up by your grandfather, it made your grandfather angry, if I help you, won't I become an accomplice?" I don't help, I help grandpa. ”

Xia Yulong glared and said angrily: "I really have no conscience, I'm still your brother." ”

Lan Xin snorted and said: "Didn't you say don't make grandpa angry, and still say bad things about him behind his back, if I tell your grandpa to tell grandpa, see if grandpa screws your ears, see if you dare to talk nonsense, I will help grandpa, I will tell grandpa that you said that you said that he missed his mother-in-law and wanted to cry." ”

Lan Xin took a step forward and was about to step forward to tell the old man, but Xia Yulong grabbed her and said urgently: "I was wrong, don't make grandpa angry." ”

Xia Yulong's pull was quite powerful, Lan Xin's heel slipped, and his whole body fell into Xia Yulong's arms, if Xia Yulong's strength was smaller, the two of them would have to roll to the ground.

But Xia Yulong is tall and has internal force to protect his body, it is easy to hold a woman, he stood firm and held Lan Xin firmly in his arms.

Lan Xin felt that there were two forces in his waist and back that were transmitted to his body, solid and heavy, that was where Xia Yulong was holding his hand, they were so close to each other, their bodies were close together, they could clearly hear each other's heartbeats and breathing, and felt that each other's bodies were hot, Lan Xin's face suddenly became hot, and his heartbeat accelerated.

Xia Yulong helped her up and apologized rather embarrassedly: "No...... No...... Excuse me, I didn't mean to. He sounded silly, clumsy.

Lan Xin pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her head shyly, and didn't know how to answer for a while, but she didn't hate it in her heart, but had an indescribable feeling, which was very warm and down-to-earth, which made her reluctant to give up.

In fact, Lan Xin really wanted to tell the old man what they said, she was just making a show and making Xia Yulong happy, but Xia Yulong was so afraid that his grandfather would be angry and dragged her in his arms, which is not surprising, grandpa was his closest person and most respected person, and he was even more afraid that his grandfather would hurt him, especially in front of the girls he liked.

The old man had gone far away, and the light of the red fireball above his head could no longer illuminate the road ahead.

Just as he was about to walk up the chain bridge, the old man turned around and shouted, "You two naughty devils are still muttering something, keep up, stop fighting, I have heard everything you say, and I have not yet reached the point of old dizziness." ”

Listening to the old man's words, Xia Yulong and Lan Xin looked at each other and smiled, and followed closely.

Out of the ancient tomb, I saw that the wooden house had been blown to pieces by the wind, and several pillars did not know where they had been blown by the wind, and I was afraid that they had fallen off the cliff.

The old man frowned and complained, "What kind of rain is it, and the wind is blowing too hard." He pulled out the shovel at his waist, "Hurry up, when it gets dark, we will have to go to the tomb again." He stepped forward and cleaned out a few broken beams with a shovel.

This shovel old man has been carrying around for decades, with digging, chopping, sawing, cutting and other functions, can also be folded into the pocket, it is very convenient to use, the material is not ordinary, it is made of extraterrestrial meteorite refining 9981 days to take the essence and polish it, although it is very light in the hand, but the iron is like mud, extremely hard. The handle of the shovel is also engraved with the Big Dipper pattern, which is very delicate.

Just as the three of them were doing their best to repair the wooden house, the three wolves hurried forward side by side, looking at the three wolves galloping away, Xia Yulong had a premonition that something was happening, he stopped what he was doing, and motioned to the old man and Lan Xindao: "Grandpa, Xin'er, you see, Da Tianyi is different from usual, it seems that they have found something?" ”

The old man also felt weird, he was not in a hurry to speak, and secretly wondered in his heart what had happened, could it be that there was another disaster on Ling Mountain?

Lan Xin was confused, she had not been in contact with the three wolves for a long time, and she couldn't see anything unusual about the three wolves.

The three wolves ran straight towards the small mound buried last night, and at this time, Da Tian Yi howled at Xia Yulong and the three of them, and Da Tian Er and Da Tian San were responsible for guarding the surroundings.

The old man and Xia Yulong saw from a distance that the small mound seemed to have been touched by someone, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately ran towards the small mound, and Lan Xin shouted behind him: "Wait for me......"

The next sight made the three of them gasp, the soil on the small mound had been ripped away, the man who had been buried last night was gone, and the grave was empty, clean and not even a trace of cloth left.

The three of them looked at each other, thinking it was incredible, and they didn't know what to say for a while, could it be a fraud? Or did you borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul? Or did he not die at all, but fraudulently died? Or was it dug up and eaten by wild beasts? Or is there another reason......

The three of them were pounding in their hearts, and a dark cloud was hanging over their heads.

"This ...... This...... How is this possible? The pure fire of the dark sun can't protect him, is he really alive? Blue Core opened his mouth first.

The old man looked around, then at the grave and said, "When he was buried, he was really dead, his body was cold, cold, unconscious, and the deep scratches on his chest had hurt his internal organs, and the blood was drained, there must be no chance of survival, this ...... This...... How do you say that if you don't have it, it's gone? He was also surprised.

After a long time, the old man said again: "There are a lot of night owls on Lingshan, could it be that you have encountered a night owl to deceive the corpse?" If the deceased is buried, there is often a situation where the soul of the night owl will be temporarily brought back to life if they are buried......"

The old man looked at the grave and continued: "The soil is tightly covered, how can he get out with his strength? Even if he dug open the soil layer and came out, he would not live long, and when the night owl went far away from his soul, his last breath would fall to the ground, which was considered a real death, if it was really a fraudulent death, then the corpse must be around here......"

The old man looked around, then at the three wolves who were guarding nearby, and denied his guess, if the man's body was really nearby, the three wolves would have pounced on him.

After a while, the old man thought about it a little, and thought about borrowing the corpse to return the soul, but he also heard the elders talk about it, and he didn't see it with his own eyes.

Lan Xin was quite curious and asked, "Grandpa, what's the matter with borrowing corpses to resurrect souls?" ”

The old man said: "When I was a child, I heard the old people say that after death, the soul must go to the spiritual realm to concentrate on transcendence, but some people die in the spiritual realm but refuse to accept it, they have nowhere to go and wander in the yang world and cannot get superbirth, and become a lonely soul and wild ghost, so they cannot be reincarnated as a human being......

At this point, the old man sighed lightly, and said: "Of course, these lonely souls and wild ghosts are also hated by the yang world, and the ghost-catching immortals in the yang world are the mages we usually see who can't allow these lonely souls and wild ghosts to harm the world, if these lonely souls and wild ghosts are caught by the mage, they will be imprisoned in a spirit rune, and they will never be reborn, so of course these lonely souls and wild ghosts want to have a good home, if they touch the whole corpse, they will possess the dead person, and the dead person will come back to life, and the lonely soul and wild ghost will come back to life through the corpse of others, This is the resurrection of the soul. ”

Lan Xin asked the old man again: "Who are the people in the spirit world who refuse to accept them?" ”

The old man asked Lan Xin rhetorically: "You are from the underworld, tell me, what is the most feared by the dying person?" ”

Although Blue Core has been in the underworld for thousands of years, both the underworld and the spirit world belong to the netherworld, but the two worlds are bounded by the Netherworld, and the underworld and the spirit world belong to two different realms.

Lan Xin scratched his head and thought for a while, and then came up with a series of answers: "Are you afraid that you won't be able to reunite with your family?" Still can't go back to their hometown? Or can't you be buried in the ground? ”

The old man smiled and said: "The answer is reasonable, but the most taboo thing for people who are dying is that they can't leave a whole corpse after death, and those who don't leave a whole corpse will not be accepted by the spiritual world, and there are people who do a lot of evil in the world, so you must do more good deeds in the world. ”

Lan Xin thought for a while, and suddenly blurted out: "So many people died on Lingshan yesterday, and many people's corpses were eaten by that monster, not to mention leaving a whole corpse, even half of the corpse capital can't be recovered, and those people died too unjustly, isn't there a mountain full of lonely souls and wild ghosts?" ”

The old man said: "Don't worry too much, we can't see them, only people with a pair of yin and yang eyes will see it, even if they do, don't be afraid, we have heavy yang energy, they can't hurt us, only those who are yang and sick are prone to lonely souls and wild ghosts......"

Lan Xin let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "I have the Dark Yang Pure Fire Protector, so I don't have to be afraid of them." ”

At this time, the old man seemed to think of something, only to see him look at the grave, frown slightly, and sigh: "Alas...... If he really borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul, I wonder if he will come out to eat people at night, and he will not be entangled with us like this on the Spirit Mountain, right? ”

Hearing the old man's words, Lan Xin was shocked, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "What...... What...... Grandpa, what do you say, is it true? Does he really come and eat people after we fall asleep? ”

The old man pondered: "Twenty years ago, I heard a mage say that the corpse that can walk freely by borrowing the corpse to return the soul, and it seems to be alive, but after all, it is not his true body, and there is not much difference from the lonely soul and wild ghost. But the ghost is a man-eating guy, much more terrifying than the lonely ghost. ”

Lan Xin's brows were furrowed, his scalp was numb when he heard it, a chill oozed from his vest, his heart was pounding, and he was really a little afraid that the man would come out of the darkness at night to eat her flesh and drink her blood.

When the old man saw that she was very scared, he asked, "What, are you afraid of ghosts?" ”

Lan Xin said: "I'm not afraid if he is a human or a ghost, I escaped from the underworld, am I still afraid of these things in the underworld?" I'm afraid that he will come and eat my flesh at night, and he bites it off bite by bite, and drinks the blood from my body, isn't that a dry corpse? At this, she gave a cold snort and goosebumps all over her body.

The old man felt that his words were a little serious and frightened the girl, he smiled and comforted: "It's not so terrible, I'm just guessing, but I can't always keep it in mind, I don't know if he was borrowed from the corpse or not, maybe he was dug out by other beasts and taken away." If he really becomes a ghost, we don't have to worry too much, can't the three of us beat him together? ”

The old man looked at the three wolves nearby and continued: "Besides, we still have the help of Da Tianyi, don't underestimate these three wolves, the wolf's eyes are yin and yang eyes, and the ghosts on the Spirit Mountain can't escape their eyes, so they can't hide away." ”

Lan Xin suddenly remembered the prehistoric beast, and hurriedly asked, "Did you take it to the prehistoric beast?" ”

The old man nodded slightly, fell into deep thought, his eyes revealed a faint worry, this grave pit is quite deep, and the buried soil is also thick, which can dig up the grave soil, it seems that only monsters have this ability, if it is really the prehistoric beast who did it, then do the three of them dare to live in a wooden house......

After a while, the old man sighed and said slowly, "If it was really that monster who did it, then it would be troublesome." ”

The sullen Xia Yulong was not in a hurry to speak, he listened to the conversation between his grandfather and Lan Xin, while checking the situation in the grave and the surroundings, just when the old man sighed that cool breath, he seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly said: "Grandpa, look, there are finger prints here, like paw prints." ”

The old man and the blue core came up, only to see two slender marks faintly visible on the four walls of the grave on the northwest side, which were of different depths, extending in the same direction, getting smaller and smaller, and almost invisible to the naked eye.

The three of them looked at the other places on the wall of the grave, and everywhere they found slender traces, two, three, and one, and each trace revealed a trace of strangeness, which was not visible to anyone who did not pay attention to it.

Xia Yulong thought for a moment and said: "You see that the direction of this trace has always been from top to bottom, these marks should be the scratches left when digging open the grave mound, but I don't know what kind of monster it is, its claws are thin and long, and the nails on the claws should be very sharp." ”
