I saw a short old man with a body the size of a normal person, made of white bones, wearing a strange pendant around his neck, slowly walking slowly from among the white bone creatures.

In his hand, he is holding a very familiar erhu.

With the melodious sound of erhu, it echoes in this living village.

The nearby white bone creature regained its consciousness and immediately revealed a hideous face, wanting to attack Chen Ye.

But the erhu sound sounded again......

The bones stiffened, as if they had received some kind of order, and they collectively stopped their movements and obediently retreated to the rear.

Chen Ye's gaze moved slightly, and fell on the erhu.

View the ...... with the Pupil of Luck He suddenly saw that the short old man holding the erhu had a purple qi on the top of his head, connecting the suona in his hand.

Meanwhile.

There was a majestic purple qi gathered above the other party's head, from which it could be judged that it was in the Skeleton Village, and it seemed to be a highly respected figure, with an identity similar to that of the village chief.

Chen Ye checked carefully and found that this erhu was still different from the one of the old erhu.

It's not the same erhu.

At this moment, the short old man pulled the erhu and made a strange noise.

The tone was sharp and harsh, but it was like a speaker, conveying a certain meaning.

Chen Ye, who has an absolute sense of hearing, listens carefully, and he can know that the other party is using the erhu to simulate the tone of a person's speech, so as to communicate with himself.

The meaning of the representative is roughly as follows:

"Why did you get here?"

Soon, Chen Ye also used the same way, simulating the human voice with an electric guitar, and began to communicate with the short old man:

"For the Ryujin Festival."

When he made this statement, the white bone creatures around him seemed to stir.

Seems surprised by the word.

"Ryujin Festival...... It's been a long time since I've heard this word, hehe, it's a curse on the village. The short old man pulled the erhu in his hand and played a short piece of music to express this long passage.

Especially when it comes to "hehe", the sharp erhu sound becomes twisted, which seems to convey a certain sense of ridicule and ridicule.

"Cursed?" Chen Ye simply played a word, in a more curved tone, representing doubt.

"There's wine there." The short old man seemed to reply with an irrelevant remark.

"What wine?"

"The Wine of Eternal Life." When the short old man started this word, all of a sudden, there was extreme pain in the erhu sound, as if there was something unbearable about the past.

Chen Ye's eyes moved, and he suddenly felt that the feelings conveyed in it were somewhat similar to the emotions that the old man erhu had hidden in the sound of music before.

Don't...... What does the old man of Erhu have to do with this place?

Seeing that Chen Ye was still confused, the short old man continued to pull the erhu and explained with a short eerie melody constructed mainly of reduced chords:

"The wine of eternal life, the source of the curse, it has made us like this."

Chen Ye was stunned and looked around at the village made of bones.

The white-boned villagers seemed to have strong emotions, different from the bones of the sea of dead outside.

The skeletons outside do not have "self-consciousness", their consciousness seems to have been integrated into the entire sea of death, becoming a part of this place, according to the consciousness of that ocean, let it be driven, as if the soul is locked in this area, and will never be able to be reborn.

But there is a clear difference between the white bone creatures in the village of raw bones.

The most striking thing is that this village clearly has a human civilization.

Some of their white bones are made of wooden planks to form cuirasses, some are tied with red ropes at their ankles, and some have a string of bone pendants around their necks, which seem to be used as ornaments. The most notable are...... The instrument in the mouthpiece can play music that clearly matches the human ear and communicate.

Noticing this, Chen Ye's heart moved slightly, and asked:

"You were once human, too?"

"Human ...... Not accurate...... We are the children of the sea god......" corrected the short old man.

"Heir of the sea god?"

At this moment, it was Chen Ye's turn to be surprised.

He never expected that the white bone creatures in this skeleton village would be the heirs of the sea god before?

"Be surprised, stranger, because of the curse we have become like this, three hundred years."

The staccato erhu sound, with a self-deprecating connotation, is spliced together into a complete sentence with short words.

Chen Ye thought for a while and said, "I know the heir of the sea god. ”

"I know, you have breath in you."

"...... you?"

"You want to talk about relationships?" The short old man didn't wait for Chen Ye to finish speaking, and said with a slight mockery, "Compatriots with close blood? Amusing! They were the first to run out, but a generation later, they saw us as monsters. It's been 300 years, and I haven't come to save ...... at all."

As he spoke, the little old man's music became furious, as if he had already endured a wave of anger in his heart.

Chen Ye did not respond and expressed his silence on this.

Seemingly...... The villagers of this wreckage village were originally also the heirs of the sea god, and they were the same ancestors as Ajaka and others.

But blood ties do not mean harmony.

Judging by the meaning of the short old man, it is probably the ancestors of Ajaca who ran out first and avoided the curse.

I thought that the heirs of the sea god who escaped would find a way to rescue them......

However, time is callous.

Maybe......

At the beginning, the ancestors would still think about rescuing the cursed villagers of the wreckage village, but after a generation, these past events have been forgotten.

Also, how can other Poseidon heirs who are living well outside think about risking their lives every day to rescue their compatriots.

Even if the heirs of the sea god are a little righteous, it is the instinct of all aborigines to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Therefore, over the course of a long time, the legend of the dragon god sacrificing to the island has become blurred, and it is only known that there are shrine maidens who can enter, but I am afraid that the cursed ancestors here have long been forgotten.

Even Ajaca's statement is only about the legend of this place, and with the death of the shrine maiden, it has not been set foot here for three hundred years.

This means that the shrine maiden dynasty and the ancestors of these descendants of the sea god were trapped here, in fact, at the same time.

It is very likely that the secret of cultivating the shrine maiden was left in the village of living bones.

The heirs of the sea god outside have no shrine maidens, so they can't enter the Sea of the Dead, let alone rescue them.

The short old man's anger may have been misunderstood in fact, but it is understandable to think of the pain he endured and the three hundred years of waiting, and suddenly when he talked about it, his emotions went out of control and became agitated and angry.

Wait a minute...... Another 300 years?

Chen Ye's brows furrowed slightly, is this point in time too coincidental?

Three hundred years, heard more than once.

It seems that that von. Bishop Lucius was also a figure from 300 years ago.

So much information gathered at this critical point in time made Chen Ye feel very concerned.

But for now, we still need to solve the matter of the Skeleton Village first.

Chen Ye then asked:

"What curse have you received?"

The short old man replied:

"Immortal, trapped here, immortal."

When Erhu Sheng expresses these three words, the tune is like a crow crying blood, full of pain and sadness.

Chen Ye gradually became able to understand......

Indeed, it is indeed a torture to be trapped on the small island of Skeleton Village, with no organs and no speech, and spend three hundred years in extremely boring conditions.

"So how do you lift the curse?"

"Destroy here."

"You're going to die too?"

"Yes......"

"You want to die?"

"That's right."

The short old man played here, and the tune seemed to span three hundred years, with endless loneliness and sorrow:

"For three hundred years, souls have been trapped in a cage of darkness, and many of our companions have gone mad, and so will we. Not being able to go out, leaving the village, is worse than dying. ”

Chen Ye's eyes flickered, and he realized that the short old man might be the same as his goal.

They want to ruin this place.

After all, for the heirs of the sea gods, who were originally normal humans, every activity they carried out would be accompanied by pain.

The soul is attached to the bones, unable to die, and has been tormented......

This is something even more brutal than the death penalty.

"Perhaps, I can help you."

Chen Ye's heart moved, and he took down the [Sacred Mercury].

The short old man's gaze fell on the [Sacred Mercury], and the pupils that had turned into hollows landed directly on the silver dagger, as if reflecting flames.

It was like encountering three hundred years of despair and darkness, and finally seeing hope.

"You...... Do you have the keys? The short old man said excitedly.

"Yes."

"Prophecy, hahahaha, the prophecy has come true!" The short old man suddenly became excited, and while pulling the erhu, he danced with his hands, and the cheerful tune was like pirates having found a treasure in the deep sea.

The other residents of the surrounding Skeleton Village also became agitated, and their eyes seemed to be eagerness when they looked at Chen Ye.

Only Chen Ye was confused.

Prophecy? What the hell? Are you the child of prophecy?

Is there such a setting for Form 2?

The short old man stopped dancing, pulled the erhu, and asked excitedly:

"Outlander...... Do you have any other musical instruments? ”

"Musical instruments?"

Chen Ye's heart moved, he thought of something, and then took out the suona.

The short old man seemed to be breathless, and slowly walked towards Chen Ye, the hand that only had white bones left, carefully placed on the suona, and when the fingertips touched it, he suddenly raised his head, as if confirming something.

"You have a master who pulls the erhu?"

"You know him?" Chen Ye also became excited, from the analysis of this sentence, could it be that the short old man also has something to do with the old man Erhu?

"He's my friend."

The short old man took a few steps back and let out a long sigh, his white expression seemed to have a sense of relief.

"I see, he asked you to come."

"Sort of......" Chen Ye replied with a half-confirmed response.

The key on his body can indeed be obtained under the guidance of the old man Erhu.

From the suona at the beginning, to the later performance of [Heavenly Ritual Music], the key to the spiritual world was opened......

Although the old man Erhu did not have clear instructions, every step he took seemed to be within his plan?

Fear......

The real life experience of the old man Erhu is still shrouded in mysteries.

But since he knew about it and had a body, why didn't he come over?

All kinds of questions made Chen Ye fall into contemplation, and an urgent desire emerged in his heart to explore the secrets of the old erhu.

"Follow me."

The short old man played in a low erhu note.

Chen Ye nodded and followed without hesitation.

He knew that there must be a secret about the life of the old man Erhu here, which seemed to have a deeper destiny that connected them together.

And the golden star became even brighter.
