Chapter 054: The Bone Tomb
Deep in the weedy forest, twisted branches stretched out in all directions, and they were invisible because they were hidden by crows, but now the crows flew away, and they made people see what they couldn't see just now: piles of human bones.
It turned out that this was a mass grave.
There is no complete skeleton in the pile of bones, many limb bones are cracked and amputated, and the skull is not complete, which can be seen to be broken by a strong external force. Perhaps these people were angry and suffered a terrible slaughter, and they were killed alive here.
Through these white bones, it seems that you can hear a miserable cry, lingering in your ears. This is clearly the place of execution, where a massacre took place. And those who died, their blood and flesh had already turned into the dirt under their feet.
Although everyone is not afraid of ghosts, they can't help but be a little worried when they see the situation in front of them, and their backs are cold, and they are instantly shocked into a cold sweat.
Qiu Lifeng glanced at it twice, and couldn't help but vomit.
Bai Luoshang also felt that he was weak under his feet, he had never seen such a scene, just looking at it could make people shudder, "Could it be that this is also a ghost?"
Qiu Lifeng twisted his eyebrows, glanced sideways at Bai Luo, and was about to speak, but saw green smoke floating from the end of the white bone pile, like wisps, flickering.
Raising his chin, Qiu Lifeng motioned for Bai Luoshang to look over there.
"Ghost fire?" Bai Luosheng opened his mouth wide in surprise, but his voice was extremely low.
"Have you ever seen a ghost fire that only smokes but doesn't see fire? And ghost fire doesn't smoke. Qiu Lifeng said contemptuously, "Aren't you very smart? Don't you still burn incense from time to time? Can't you see that it is the green smoke from the burning of incense and candles?"
After hearing this, Bai Luoshang said even more incredulously: "In this pile of dead people, who dares to burn incense?"
He believes that no normal person would want to come to such a terrible place and burn a lone smoke.
Qiu Lifeng said with a cold face: "Could it be that there are really unjust souls here who have turned into powerful ghosts and have been haunting for a long time?"
Bai Luosheng, who was standing on the side, waved his hand violently, signaling Qiu Lifeng not to speak first, and listened to something quietly.
Although the movement is subtle, you can still hear it if you listen closely. It's just that in the current situation, it's normal that they didn't notice it quickly, because they were all attracted by the mountains of bones, so it was almost impossible to notice such a subtle sound. Even Bai Luoshang still came over for a long time before he noticed it.
"There's movement over there. Bai Luoshang said.
"I heard it too. Qiu Lifeng catered to him.
"Do you want to go over?" Bai Luoshang asked with a little solemnity.
Qiu Lifeng pushed him and ordered, "You go and take a look." ”
Bai Luoshang stood still, "Why am I going?"
Qiu Lifeng said as a matter of course: "You are relatively big, your skills are relatively high, and your skills are relatively deep. ”
Bai Luoshang disagreed: "But I think that the old man of the eldest prince of Qiu is older than me, his ability is higher than me, and his skills are deeper than mine, so in my opinion, it is better to be ...... you."
Seeing Qiu Lifeng's slightly squinted peach blossom eyes, Bai Luoshang immediately changed his original words and said, "...... Or will you and I go together?"
Qiu Lifeng thought about it, but did not refuse, and the two walked over softly side by side.
The high heave of bones blocked a little boy dressed in tatters, who looked to be no more than seven or eight years old, and was kneeling on the ground. There are three sticks of incense on the ground, as if they have just been lit. There was a broken basket with a steamed bun that I didn't know if it could be eaten. The little boy bowed respectfully to the ground, as if he was kowtowing and bowing.
How can there be a child in this place?
Bai Luoshang and Qiu Lifeng looked at each other, not knowing what to react to for a while.
The little boy had been lying on the ground like this, motionless, and did not seem to notice the sudden appearance of the person in front of him. He knelt quietly, and after a long time, there was no movement.
Bai Luoshang and Qiu Lifeng felt more and more strange about this little boy.
A radius of more than 300 miles is full of barren mountains and wilderness, and there are no villages and no houses before and after, where did this child come from?
If this child had come from out of town, how could he have walked such a long way alone? Not to mention that this was still a mass grave and haunted, and adults did not dare to come alone, so where did a child dare to come to this place alone?
The appearance of the little boy undoubtedly made the mystery in everyone's hearts more and more serious.
Qiu Lifeng wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the man in black he brought.
The action here seemed to alarm the little boy, he suddenly raised his head, and when he saw the person in front of him, his face was first startled, then white, and then purple, and his last breath was stuck, and he fell on the pile of bones with a "bang", and he was so unconscious.
I didn't expect this little boy's reaction to be like this, Bai Luosheng, Qiu Lifeng and the others were all stunned.
The little boy was frightened and fainted after seeing a few of them, but more accurately, he was stunned after seeing Qiu Lifeng's face. This was very obvious, because everyone saw it very clearly, and the expression on the little boy's face obviously became frightened after seeing Qiu Lifeng.
Qiu Lifeng's face also changed dramatically, stiff as if he had suddenly turned into stone, and he had never seen anyone faint to death after seeing his face. If a dying person comes back to life after seeing his face, he may not think it is strange, but it is the first time that a person can be scared to death by looking at him.
Bai Luoshang was surprisingly quiet, looking at the little boy without speaking.
"He's dead?" Qiu Lifeng asked with an unkind face.
"Probably not. Bai Luoshang replied.
"Is he a human or a ghost?"
"You can ask this little ghost when he wakes up. ”
"This kid is weird. ”
"I can see it too. ”
"You don't have anything to say?" Qiu Lifeng looked at him unwillingly, and asked a little angrily, "Did you find anything?"
Bai Luoshang sighed, shook his head and said helplessly: "What the eldest prince didn't find, I didn't find either." ”
Qiu Lifeng didn't believe it, "Isn't there anything that you discovered, but I didn't find it?"
Bai Luoshang thought for a while and said, "Didn't the eldest prince hear it?"
Qiu Lifeng asked rhetorically, "What do you smell?"
"Incense. Bai Luoshang said, "Strange woody fragrance." ”
Qiu Lifeng sniffed carefully, just as Bai Luoshang said, there was indeed a very faint fragrance in the air, but he couldn't tell what kind of fragrance it was. Bai Luoshang said that it was a woody fragrance, but he had never smelled such a woody fragrance.
At this time, a man in black stepped forward and said to Qiu Lifeng: "This place is full of white bones, and the yin qi is extremely heavy, so it's probably not appropriate for people to stay for a long time." The young master still leaves with us first, and then I will talk to the young master about the results after I find out the results with this white young man. ”
Bai Luoshang glanced at the man, and said in his heart, is it wrong for Qiu Lifeng to stay for a long time, is it okay for him to stay for a long time? What's more, the person who really wants to figure out the ins and outs of the matter is Qiu Lifeng, not him Bai Luosheng.
Bai Luoshang was dissatisfied with the proposal of the man in black, and Qiu Lifeng also did not appreciate the kindness of the man in black, not only did he not appreciate it, but also pointed at the man in black and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, wake up this little ghost for me." ”
Bai Luoshang said softly: "I'm not sure if it's a ghost, and no ghost dares to come out in broad daylight." ”
Qiu Lifeng glared at Bai Luoshang heavily, disgusted by Bai Luosheng's unserious and unserious attitude at all times.
"Whether it's a ghost or not, wake him up. Qiu Lifeng sneered, squinting his eyes slightly, and carefully observing the little boy, "With so many bones appearing here, things must not be simple. This little ghost appears here alone, and it can be seen that it is not simple. Even if he's not a ghost, he's probably about the same as a ghost. Why is he not afraid of the bones of the dead, but he is afraid of a great living man like us? Is it because he has only seen the dead and never seen the living?"
For some reason, Bai Luoshang was stunned by Qiu Lifeng's words.
"It's the eldest prince who thinks too much. Bai Luoshang said stiffly, "I see, he is just a person who came to the grave to pay respects." ”
"Grave in a mass grave?" Qiu Lifeng seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and said sarcastically: "With such a large-scale massacre, how can there be a related person who is left to live in the world? It is impossible for any planner to make such a mistake. ”
Bai Luoshang looked at him in surprise, but the person became calmer instead, "How can the eldest prince be so sure that these bones died in a massacre? Doesn't it mean that this place is haunted? Don't you think that these people may also be killed by ghosts?"
Qiu Lifeng realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he shut down, no matter how much Bai Luoshang asked, he would never talk about it.
Bai Luoshang asked for a while, seeing that Qiu Lifeng had been silent, and he was not interested in asking any more, the little boy who had passed out also woke up at this time.
The little boy looked at them in horror, only to feel a blackness in front of him, as if the darkness would soon swallow him up again. This fear made him panic and make him tremble. Especially the most beautiful person was covered with a cold and dangerous aura all over his body, which made him unable to restrain himself from retreating.
"Do you want to escape?" Qiu Lifeng said coldly.
"Shouldn't he run away?" Bai Luoshang was afraid of the little boy.
Qiu Lifeng glared at him angrily.
Bai Luoshang waved his hand in a wry, with an expression of "You said yours, I won't interrupt".
Qiu Lifeng turned his head and continued to stare at the little boy, and in his aggressive momentum, the little boy seemed to suddenly become shorter and more humble.
The little boy was curled up with his head buried between his knees. His body trembled, and his heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, suffocating him as he struggled to touch his neck with his hands. At this moment, his face was as white as a dead corpse, and the appearance of him was even more terrifying than those white bones. His eyes were bloodshot and dull, his gaze was wild, and white spit kept coming out of his trembling lips.
