Volume 1 of the Witchbook Chapter 10: Strange Bones

The person Jiang Fuzi was referring to was the ragged young man. The water and wood dual spirit roots, the five elements are not compatible, that is the potential of the true spirit root. Jiang Fuzi This is a seedling of outstanding talent for Zhaoyao Dianxiang.

"What happened, what's your name?" asked Jiang Fuzi at the young man.

The boy was also startled by the sudden appearance of a person in front of him, but he quickly realized that the person who came was not malicious, so he immediately calmed down. He looked at the person in front of him, dressed in a green robe, with fairy wind and bones, and understood that the person who came might be a senior master.

After all, Fireweary City has just experienced a tragic battle, and if it can survive and be so calm, even if it is not a high-level cultivator, it can be regarded as a person with great status.

So the young man didn't dare to slack off, so he stood up, bowed respectfully, and replied: "Go back to your lord, oh no, if you go back to a few immortals, my name is Gongsun Yue, and this is my sister Gongsun Yan." Our family originally fled from Maotianwu to the city of fire weariness, because the demon beast slaughtered the city, the family died tragically, leaving only me and my sister. Because she had no money to bury her relatives, her sister could only sell her body for a tael of silver and buy a coffin to bury her father. I wanted to find a way to scrape together the money to redeem my sister, but in the blink of an eye, this guy said that it would take ten taels of chairs to redeem me. I was angry just now, and that's why the fight started. ”

Seeing that Gongsun Yue spoke clearly, Master Jiang nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I think you have good qualifications and have the talent to practice. Let me ask you, would you like to be my disciple?"

Gongsun Yue was stunned, his face was full of incredulity, and he didn't know whether it was surprise or shock, so he couldn't speak with his mouth open.

Jiang Fuzi frowned and snorted.

Gongsun Yue's face was shocked, and he hurriedly replied: "Thank you for the kindness of the seniors, of course the juniors are willing to follow." It's just that my sister has been with me since she was a child, can your seniors let her ...... with me?"

"It's not that the old man is ruthless, it's just that this little girl is a fourth-line pseudo-spiritual root, and her qualifications are a little worse, and the old man won't accept it......" Jiang Fuzi looked Gongsun Yan up and down, shook his head and sighed: "She still has some appearance, it's better to find a good family to marry, and the way to cultivate immortals, I'm afraid it will be lost." ”

"But......" Gongsun Yue couldn't help but hesitate.

"Master, they are so pitiful, why don't you help them?" Ye Zijin on the side couldn't help but pull the sleeve of the Miaoying Daoist, and muttered softly.

The Miaoying Daoist was as if he had not heard of it, and his face did not change at all. Gongsun Yue's Shuimu Twin Spirit Root is also very suitable for the water system attribute of Weiyu Palace, but it was robbed by Jiang Fuzi, and it is even more difficult to open his mouth to fight at this time.

Miao Ying Daoist walked up to Steward Zhong and said coldly: "What's going on? Just after the Demon Beast Tribulation, this Wang Dacheng Lord didn't think about how to settle the people's livelihood and comfort the victims, but he did the business of abducting and selling women here?"

......

Zhao Hong slept quite peacefully, and when he woke up, he didn't know how much time had passed, only feeling that the light transmitted by the crystal above his head was dim.

As soon as he fell asleep, his physical strength and spirit had recovered, and his stomach seemed to be overly hungry, but he didn't make any more noise at this time. He stood up and went to inspect the stone pot, and was pleasantly surprised to find that a small half pot of water had been shallowly accumulated.

He took a sip and was in a good mood. At this time, he noticed the stainless steel broadsword full of gaps that he had left in the corner before, and suddenly had an impulse in his heart: since the stone table could not produce any results, it was better to destroy it.

So, he picked up the steel broadsword again, walked to the stone table, and slashed at it.

One, two, three......

Zhao Hong suddenly froze his figure, and the big knife stopped in mid-air. After a moment's pause, he turned the broadsword in his hand upside down and put it away, and grasped the hilt of the knife, and used it to strike seriously in every corner of the stone table.

There was a crisp sound of air "dong dong". His face became more cautious, and he carefully tapped the hilt of the knife to compare it with the missing cup, and the other adjacent places.

"This is it!" Zhao Hong muttered to himself, aiming at the empty space with his steel broadsword again, and slashing down.

I only heard a soft "bang", and the empty space actually shattered, revealing a boxy groove. Zhao Hong looked inside, and it was the fourth stone cup missing on the stone table.

He didn't figure out what was going on, but he reached into the groove and tried to pull the cup out with all his might.

Zhao Hong originally thought that the stone cups in the groove might be the same as the three above, unable to be shaken. But to his surprise, he easily lifted the stone cup. In this way, the fourth stone cup also came to the table and returned to its place.

Then there was a continuous sound of "boom", and Zhao Hong found that the innermost stone wall of the stone chamber slowly shrank to both sides, revealing a stone door more than one person high. On top of the stone door, there are not only two delicate and visible metal knockers, but also dozens of egg-sized door nails neatly embossed.

Zhao Hong's heart was pleasantly surprised, he didn't know whether the back of this stone gate was the passage to leave, or was there another cave?

He hesitated, then clasped his hands on the knocker. Taking a deep breath, he pulled the stone door open with all his might, and what came into view was a narrow walkway several meters long.

An indescribably strange air flow rushed towards him, and Zhao Hong only felt the damp mildew pungent. This doesn't seem to be a passage out, but more like an inner cave that has been uninhabited for a long time.

"Maybe it's the bedroom where the master of the stone room lives, but I don't know why it's so hidden?" Zhao Hong frowned, shook his head, and finally stepped into the passage resolutely.

The corridor was not long, and it didn't take long for Zhao Hong to completely pass through and come to another secret room. The inner chamber is not entirely made of rock and has no crystal windows to let in the light, but has a large fluorescent stone set in each of the four corners of the top. Under the dim light, although the entire stone chamber was dim, it was possible to roughly see the situation inside.

But as soon as Zhao Hong put his eyes inside, he was immediately frightened and collapsed to the ground.

As Zhao Hong guessed just now, this secret room is undoubtedly an inner hole. It is only the size of a zhang of space, and it is as simple as a bed, a table, and a chair. And what Zhao Hong saw now was a gloomy skeleton sitting cross-legged on the stone bed. In this situation, if you are a normal person, you will definitely feel frightened.

After a long time, Zhao Hong finally calmed down his frightened mood, calmed down, and got up again.

He carefully examined the skeleton on the stone bed, and found that a thick layer of dust had accumulated, presumably the man had been dead for a long time.

Looking at the bones, from the laryngeal bone to the cavity bone and the vertebrae in the chest and abdomen, there is a black color, and there is a faint corroded appearance under a closer look, obviously the deceased should have been hit by some kind of extremely powerful poison before his death.

When Zhao Hong looked down further, he found that at the phalanx of the skeleton, he was wearing a dark gold ring, which was very strange.

The ring was black all over, but it was covered with strange dark gold lines. This ring reminded Zhao Hong of the Danding that Baibaozhai saw, which is estimated to be thousands of years old. Although the lines on the ring are completely different from those of the Danding, the two are also full of ancient atmosphere, and they are also ancient patterns, and it is also impossible to see what material is cast.

But this ring makes people feel very weird, and Zhao Hong can't tell how weird it is. Although it is also an antiquity, if Danding gives people the impression of yang, then this ring makes people feel cold.

It should be something left behind by the deceased, right?Zhao Hong hesitated for a while, but still took off the ring and carefully put it in his pocket.

Could this skeleton be the owner of this stone chamber when he was alive, but I don't know why he died here?

The head of the skeleton was raised as if looking up, and Zhao Hong looked in this direction, and on the wall above the skeleton, there was a figure painting. Zhao Hong took a closer look and found that the painting was a slender woman, wearing a pink gauze skirt, graceful and graceful, standing in the wind.

The eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are like autumn waves, a smile has fallen into the city, and the eyes are full of beauty.

The woman's appearance is peerless, just a pair of crystal eyes like stars, which makes people dare not look directly, for fear of blaspheming the beauty. Zhao Hong remembered the Ye Zijin he had seen before, and compared with the woman in the painting, he was afraid that he was three points inferior.

The painting is vivid and lifelike. In the upper right corner of the scroll, there are also a few lines of ink inscription: clever smile, beautiful eyes, fluttering, peerless independence.

The handwriting is rough and unassuming, and it is like a loose horse flying into the air and leaving the dust;

Looking at the woman in the painting, Zhao Hong couldn't help but sigh, perhaps only this fairy-like handwriting can be worthy of the marginal note of this painting. A single figure painting has such a expressive posture of heaven and man, so what kind of beautiful woman should the real person in the painting be who does not eat fireworks in the world?

No wonder this skeleton was still quietly looking up at the person in the painting before he died, but the person in the painting may have been a thousand years ago, just like the ring.

For some reason, Zhao Hong suddenly felt that the woman in the painting seemed to have some sense of déjà vu. But when he thought about it, he didn't have any impression. He shook his head and smiled, maybe the woman in the painting was too amazing, he couldn't suppress the feelings that surged in his heart, and gave birth to admiration, right? Although the person in the painting was shocked, after all, he was separated from her, and he should not have the opportunity to meet.

Could it be that the woman in the painting is the owner of this stone room? Or is she the person whom the owner of the stone room admires? Or is this stone room at the bottom of the lake the place where the two immortal couples used to live? Zhao Hong guessed for a while, shook his head, and then did not continue to focus on the painting, but turned his head to look at the stone table on the side.

On the stone table, Zhao Hong found that there was nothing but an old book. He picked up the book, and in the dimness, he couldn't see what the book was for a while, but he felt that the material of these books was not simple, as if it was made of special animal skin, which was particularly thick and heavy.

Zhao Hong carefully inspected the secret room again, and there was indeed nothing else, so he had to put away the book and slowly walked out of the passage.

Closing the stone door again, Zhao Hong casually found a stone bench and sat down, with a solemn expression.

He didn't know what mood he was in right now. Frustration, frustration, loss, despair...... Maybe both!

His heart was full of unpleasant feelings, because now he was sure that he was definitely trapped here, and there was no other way out. Maybe it won't be long before he will become a white skeleton, like the one in the secret room, buried deep at the bottom of this lake.

That's not right!

If the skeleton had been the owner of the place, then he couldn't have built a secret room that he couldn't get out of? Otherwise, it wouldn't be a secret room, but a tomb! Who would have built his own tomb like this?

Although Zhao Hong did not practice, it did not mean that he did not understand the monk's supernatural powers. There is no way out of this stone chamber, and it is impossible for mortals to get out, but it is not difficult for advanced monks.

Even if he had a better Earth Escape Talisman, he could resolve the dilemma in front of him. It's a pity that the only earth escape talisman in his hand was used when he fled for his life before.

The owner of the stone chamber was a monk, but he was not. There is no food here, I haven't eaten for a day, and I don't know how many days I can last?

Zhao Hong thought about it, but there was no way. He had no choice but to take out the book he had taken from his bosom and began to flip through it.

On the cover is simply written two huge ancient characters: Witch Book.
