Chapter 42: Soul Return, Grave Keeper

The way back was fairly safe, and although he had seen some people from afar, they had not spotted him.

Chen Ke didn't dare to be with those people halfway, and he could only be killed if he went out halfway.

After all, those people weren't sure if he was going to join them or to attack them.

Because they were cautious along the way, and almost all of them were in the grass and rushed to the waist.

So on the way back, I didn't encounter any more robberies and killings.

All the way back to the area of the tomb of the king of the people.

However, before entering the construction area, Chen Ke suddenly stopped, his body stiffened, and his eyes stared deadly ahead.

I saw that more than ten meters in front of me, a figure in white was standing with his hands in his hands, with his back to him.

This is not what makes his body stiff, what really makes his mind explode is that the other party's body is translucent.

When Chen Ke saw the man, the man also turned around, and it was the person he saw at the gate of Fuming Town.

Sword eyebrows, starry eyes, deep eyes, although the other party's body is translucent, and no breath is released, but just by being looked at by the other party, Chen Ke has a feeling of suffocation.

This is a pressure that I have not felt at the gate of the town.

The young man, who couldn't tell his specific age from the surface, didn't speak, just looked at Chen Ke with scrutiny in his eyes.

Just when Chen Ke was about to lose the feeling of depression, the other party suddenly disappeared.

However, Chen Ke did not relax his vigilance, he observed the surroundings while sensing the evil talisman he had obtained not long ago, and was sure that the evil talisman did not respond, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The other party, it should be the human king, right? It's scary, but is this a cult or something? ”

Chen Ke took a deep breath and was a little hesitant to continue walking, when he suddenly said "ha", and his heart was almost scared.

Because Xuan'er, the girl who was dressed in linen and filial piety, appeared on his right hand side at some point, close at hand.

However, Xuan'er, who was named a girl, did not look at him, but stared at the place where the young man disappeared before, and burst into tears.

Chen Ke, who was originally relieved, stiffened again and didn't dare to move, these big people who didn't know where they came from, all of them were elusive, and they were scared to death.

The girl didn't speak, she kept crying, and the people carved in pink were like water, and I don't know where so many tears came from.

The girl didn't leave, and Chen Ke didn't dare to move, for fear of causing misunderstanding from the other party.

After a long time, perhaps tired of crying, the girl wiped the tears from her face and spoke for the first time: "Why did my father come to see you?" ”

"Forehead......" Chen Ke was dazed, and said cautiously for a long time: "I don't know below, maybe ...... Ling Zun just came for a walk, and I happened to bump into him, right? ”

However, the girl shook her head slightly, and said softly: "My father is a soul returner, seven times to return to the soul, each time it will only appear at the most important moment, there is no such thing as walking. ”

"Back to ...... Soul? ”

Chen Ke was stunned, if there is really such a thing as soul return, it stands to reason that the soul return time should only be seven days, right?

The mysterious man-king had been dead for more than seven days.

Could it be that the resurrection time of the strong is longer than that of ordinary people?

But the girl didn't ask much, she probably knew that she couldn't ask anything, and besides, there was no point.

Then she asked, "Are you going to come back and continue your work?" ”

"Uh......" Chen Ke thought about it, and still answered truthfully: "I want to come back and find some people to accompany me, the road is dangerous." ”

The girl nodded: "If you want to leave, leave within a month, otherwise you will absorb the old luck, and you will also decay." ”

With that, she vanished, as elusive as when she came.

The other party looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, but such ability is beyond Chen Ke's imagination, and he doesn't know how strong his strength is.

After making sure that the other party had really left, Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

These elusive existences, if it is not necessary, it is better to have less contact.

But—

What is the 'old luck' that the other party is talking about?

"Within a month? Could it be that in a month, what will happen? ”

With these doubts flashing in his heart, Chen Ke didn't waste any more time and sped up his speed to enter the construction area.

Unexpectedly, in just half a day, the ore pile that was originally piled up in the distance has been reduced a lot.

In the mausoleum area, inside the outermost stone monument, there have been a large number of more buildings.

This scene made Chen Ke very suspicious, whether to build a mausoleum or a city?

It wasn't his business though, and he quickly searched the neighborhood for others who wanted to leave.

But maybe it's because it's almost dark now, so no one has left today.

Suddenly, when he saw Zhang Yuan, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly caught up: "Zhang Daoyou." ”

"Chen Daoyou?" Zhang Yuan was still wearing filial piety, and when he saw this, he stopped and said in surprise: "Chen Daoyou is leaving?" ”

"yes, aren't you leaving?" Chen Ke asked.

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "I won't leave, it's good here, I decided to join here and become a direct descendant of the King of People." Would you like to think about it? ”

Chen Ke hesitated: "Join here...... Do you know what to expect? ”

"I've heard that some will absorb the kind of cold aura here, and then they won't be able to leave here, but it doesn't matter, I've heard that this place will soon become a holy place for cultivation, and those of us who stay will be able to improve our cultivation rapidly."

Zhang Yuan didn't have the slightest worry, but looked forward to it: "Chen Daoyou, you can stay too, this is a great opportunity." ”

Chen Ke looked at Zhang Yuan in front of him in disbelief, and said tentatively: "Are you awake now?" ”

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Chen Daoyou thinks too much, I am very sober." You may not know, the people above said that we people will become tomb keepers, the direct descendants of the king of men, and that's what it means. ”

Chen Ke suddenly realized.

Grave keeper, he thought ......

Zhang Yuan continued: "Chen Daoyou, why don't you stay too, I know you best here, and if you leave, I will be very bored." I've heard that when this place becomes a holy place for cultivation, the people who stay, even if they are born waste, will eventually be able to reach the innate powerhouse, and there will be no bottlenecks. ”

Innate powerhouse?!

Chen Ke's heartbeat increased slightly.

But then he thought of the words of the girl from before: If you absorb the old luck, you will decay.

Rotten!

It's not clear what rot is, but it's probably not a good thing.

So Chen Ke still refused: "I still have something to do outside." ”

"Okay." Zhang Yuan didn't force it, but just smiled: "Then Chen Daoyou remember to come and see me when you have time, when the big array here is up, I can't leave, I will stay here for the rest of my life and guard the tomb of the king." Come in and talk to me about the outside when you have time. ”

"If I have time, I will." Chen Ke smiled, and then separated from Zhang Yuan.

At this moment, someone in the distance was looking for someone to leave together.

Chen Ke hurried over.

"Are you leaving? Together, we already have a lot of people, and it's safer when there are more people. The man beckoned to Chen Ke.

Chen Ke didn't agree directly, but asked, "How many of you are there?" Are you ready to leave now? ”

"Of course not, it's almost dark now."

The man replied, "We have more than thirty of us, and we are going to gather more people before we set out, and the time is tomorrow." Let's go together, there doesn't seem to be a wild town nearby, Fuming Town is hundreds of miles away from here, the distance is far away, and it is safe when there are many people. ”

Chen Ke thought about it and agreed.

The man smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's gather here early tomorrow morning." By the way, my name is Xiong Kun, what do you call a fellow Daoist? ”

"Chen Ke." Chen Ke replied.

The two chatted briefly a few more words, and then separated.

After separating from Xiong Kun, Chen Ke returned to the stone house where he lived before, which had not yet had time to be demolished, and no one cared about him when he moved in again.
