Chapter 284: The Grave Keeper
After scanning around the second grave, the two of them did not stop long, and walked directly to the third layer of the grave, and continued to look for the new grave.
Just as the two of them stepped into the third tomb, a sinister ghost aura came directly to their faces, which made the two of them stop and glance at each other.
"Senior Brother Li, you can also feel it, there are evil things here. When Hanyan looked at Li Ge, he found that the other party was also looking at him, so he couldn't help but whisper.
"Well, if this evil aura is revealed, presumably if the evil here is not a ghost who has just entered cultivation, then it is a ghost that has cultivated to an extremely strange and profound level. Li Ge replied softly. Then he looked up at the Suzaku above his head, raised his hand and pointed to the darkness of the third layer of the mound, and shouted softly, "Go~"
With the exit of the word one by one, the red bird flying above Li Ge's head in mid-air chirped "Huh~", and then spread its wings and flew towards the pile of black people not far away. Li Ge and Hanyan were still standing on the stairs that had just stepped onto the third cemetery, watching the direction in which Suzaku flew.
The crimson flame light on Suzaku's body lit up the pitch-black tomb, and as Suzaku moved, a strange cry suddenly came from the tomb, and then, the yin aura that was originally arrogant and exposed was only in a breath or two, like a retreating tide, and disappeared out of thin air.
If this invisible sense of evil is changed to ordinary people, it is naturally completely imperceptible, but in front of Li Ge and Hanyan, it is extremely obvious. Sensing the sudden disappearance of the evil aura in the tomb, and the strange cry they had just heard, Li Ge and Hanyan glanced at each other for a while.
"Come back~" After glancing at Hanyan beside him, Li Ge whispered to Suzaku, who was already some distance away from him. Then the little firebird spun around and flew back to the top of Li Ge's head in a quick way.
"The evil creature may have seen us hidden. After the evil aura disappeared, he opened his mouth and whispered.
"It should be, let's go, Senior Sister Hanyan, let's go into the grave and have a look. Li Ge nodded, and with a movement of his steps, he walked directly in the direction of the strange sound made by Shicai. Seeing this, Hanyan hurriedly moved behind him.
Just as the two of them had walked more than ten steps with their feet raised, ready to continue in the direction of the strange sound to see what was there, an old voice suddenly sounded in the dark tomb.
"Who are you? What are you doing in this mound in the middle of the night?" the voice came from the direction of the third mound against the mountain.
Hearing this sudden old voice, Li Ge's footsteps immediately stopped, and then he hurriedly took a step back, instinctively protected Hanyan behind him, and moved his gaze to the direction where the sound came from.
Seeing Li Ge's move, Han Yan's face was first stunned, and then, there was a trace of undetectable happiness, because at this crisis juncture, she didn't expect Li Ge to think of herself for the first time, so at this time in her heart there was a circle of ripples in her heart that she couldn't understand.
This circle of ripples rippled out from the bottom of her heart, and then spread throughout her body, she couldn't help but move her gaze to Li Ge, and looked at the thin back of her junior brother with a deep expression. On the contrary, she turned a deaf ear to the sudden voice of old age.
"Who are you? Why are you here in the middle of the night?" After hearing the old voice, Li Ge moved his gaze to the direction where the voice came from, and then saw the person who made the voice clearly through the light emanating from the spirit of the Vermilion Bird.
The man who spoke was an old man with gray hair, about fifty or sixty years of age. The gray-haired old man was wearing a black robe, and on his shoulder, there was a small monkey with black hair. The little monkey's eyes flashed with a green light, and it looked weird. At the same time, after Li Ge watched the old man for a while, he found that there was a thick dead air on his body.
After feeling that there was not the slightest vitality in the old man, Li Ge's originally calm face unconsciously showed a trace of vigilance. Because for this old man in black, I felt a sense of crisis from my heart.
"I am the grave keeper of this grave. Hearing Li Ge's question, the old man replied in a flat tone, and then moved his steps, took two steps closer to Li Ge, looked him up and down, reached out and touched the black monkey that stopped on his shoulder, and then said, "You don't seem to have answered my question yet." ”
"The grave keeper of this tomb?" Hearing the answer of the black-robed old man, Li Ge asked himself secretly in his heart, and then put his hands behind his back, and with the same footsteps, he took two steps closer to the old man, and said with a smile, "My senior sister and I came here late at night to mourn an old friend. ”
"Mourning an old friend? Someone came to the grave in the middle of the night to mourn the deceased? Young man, you should be decent for your reasons, right?" the old man asked with a hint of anger in his tone. Then he turned his gaze to the Suzaku that flew back to the top of Li Ge's head.
After the old man stared at Suzaku for a moment, the trace of anger on his original face dissipated, and then turned into a curiosity. Therefore, he couldn't help but ask, "Although your Vermilion Bird remnant spirit is too weak, it can be regarded as a divine bird in any way, and you actually use it for lighting, which is really a violent thing." ”
"Since this thing belongs to me, what does it matter to you how I use it?" Hearing the old man's words, Li Ge replied unceremoniously.
"Young man, in the middle of the night, you came to this grave I guarded to mourn your old friend, and you were so disrespectful to me, an old man, I think you are lacking in education. Hearing Li Ge's response, the old man's face showed anger, and then he moved two steps closer to Li Ge and asked, "I see that you are also a cultivator, I don't know what school you are taught from?"
Originally, I came to this mountain to solve the confusion in my heart, but such an old man suddenly appeared halfway through, and he spoke so politely. Therefore, after hearing the old man's words, Li Ge let out a cold snort, and then replied in a cold tone, "Old man, your mouth is on you, how do you want to ask, that's your business, whether you want to answer you or not, that's my business." ”
"What a crazy little bastard, the old man asked patiently, and you answered me like this. After hearing Li Ge's words, the old man in black flashed a cold light in his eyes, and then showed a cold smile, and then said, "I am the guardian of this tomb, so I naturally have the right to ask why you entered the tomb at night, if you don't want to answer, roll me down the mountain now." ”
"What if I don't go down, what can you bear with me?" the old man's words made Li Ge unconsciously reply.
