Chapter 13: The Taoist Robe
"This is it. ”
The old woman led Cui Xiu to the source place, a little cautious, and seemed to be a little afraid of this 'source'.
Cui Xiu turned around when he heard this, and when he saw the old woman, he frowned slightly, and he vaguely felt that the old woman's body seemed to have become more illusory.
However, this is not the time to pay attention to this, Cui Xiu looked in the direction pointed by the old woman, and what came into her eyes was a deep valley.
The valley is not big, but two or three zhang wide, under the fog, the scene is not very clear, but faintly can be seen, there is a cliff covered with moss above the valley, slightly wet, think that there is a stream, but now it has dried up.
In addition, the small valley is very dark, although it is not large, it looks a little creepy.
Coupled with the thick fog around it, the whole valley is like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, almost addicted to people.
Seeing this, Cui Xiu raised his vigilance, clenched the long sword in his hand, and prepared to enter to take a look.
"Cui Gongzi, this place is really not a good place, or forget it, if Gongzi can take Xiaocao'er sister and brother out, my wife will be satisfied, and I don't dare to be greedy anymore. ”
Cui Xiu was about to enter, and the old woman persuaded her, and her tone was a little lamenting.
Hearing this, Cui Xiu turned around and smiled: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I am also selfish, maybe the things in the heart are still good for me, besides, even if there is any danger, I will withdraw quickly, and it will not hinder me." ”
"Childe still has to be more careful, but unfortunately the old woman can't get inside, and there is no way to know what is going on inside, otherwise there is no need for Childe to take such a risk. ”
When the old woman heard this, her eyes drooped.
Cui Xiu is still a little sure in his heart, it's not that he completely understands the situation here, it's just that from the old woman's explanation and the situation of staying here for a day, this place has no direct ability to hurt people.
As for Liu Hu's situation, the old woman also explained to him, mainly because of the gray air flow in those human bones.
Therefore, the only thing that threatens people in this place, except for ghosts, is those gray air currents.
Now the ghosts are only the old woman's family, and they have no ill will towards him, and those gray air currents are good things for Cui Xiu.
So in addition to being on guard, he also had some expectations.
The gray air currents obtained from the human bones had already made him experience the pleasure of harvesting once, and now if he was here at the source, he could get more source power, it would be an adventure for him.
Of course, Cui Xiu also knew that he was a little too greedy, but now that he was not yet able to completely control his desires, in the face of the benefits of the source force, even if it was really dangerous, he might not give up this opportunity.
Not to mention, solving this source also involves the matter of repaying his kindness.
Under the superposition of the two, Cui Xiu is equivalent to finding a powerful excuse for himself, allowing him to temporarily ignore the possible dangers in the valley and seek wealth in danger.
In his previous life, he would definitely not be so impulsive, but after more than a month, he also faintly noticed that there were some changes in his personality.
Whether it's good or bad, it's hard to say for a while.
"Mother-in-law is here for a while, and I'll go in and see what happens. ”
Cui Xiu didn't hesitate any longer, took the long sword, and stepped into the valley.
The whole person quickly disappeared into the fog, leaving only a faint back.
And just as he walked into the valley, the old woman, who had lowered her head slightly, raised her eyes, and a trace of heat flashed in her eyes.
Then, it dimmed again, and his eyes became a little dark.
......
Looking at the valley from the outside, it was not big, but when he really walked into the valley, Cui Xiu found that there was something else inside.
If you want to describe it, between what Cui Xiu saw, he felt that the whole valley was more like an upside-down bowl, but there was no bottom of the bowl.
The exit of the valley is like a 'gap' left by the cracking of the bowl wall.
Of course, the problem of the environment has little impact on Cui Xiu, even if the inside is more spacious, at most it is just a few more steps.
Thinking so, Cui Xiu put more attention on exploration.
From the old woman, he learned that the place with the most gray airflow in the human bones is usually the thickest fog, and the impact on their ghost bodies is also the greatest.
Therefore, before all the people who have become ghosts have disappeared, everyone will try to avoid their disappearance and try to stay away from the valley.
It's just that as time goes by, even staying away doesn't work.
Cui Xiu pondered this and looked around, wanting to find the direction where the fog was most intense, so as to save some effort.
But what made him frown was that because of the environment of the valley, the thickness of the fog in the valley could hardly be distinguished, and the fog was heavy in all directions, and he couldn't tell the direction.
It's a pity that the old woman can't come here, because I heard her say that all the ghosts that enter here have basically disappeared, and they can't go out at all.
Otherwise, with the guidance of the old woman, it is not difficult to find the direction.
After all, the old woman's family didn't seem to be affected by the fog's disturbing direction.
Although Cui Xiu felt bad, he was still patient, vigilant, and explored in all directions.
I don't know how long I walked, but the gray fog in all directions always makes it easy to ignore time.
"Click!"
As time passed, Cui Xiu's spirit became tense, and his actions after entering the valley were a little different from his previous thoughts.
Instead of seeing the 'source' as simply as imagined, I searched for a long time, but found nothing abnormal.
And just when he was a little anxious in his heart, a movement sounded under his feet.
The sound was crisp, a bit like the sound of a tree branch breaking, but it wasn't the same......
Cui Xiu hurriedly looked down.
What caught my eye was a corpse.
The bones looked like an adult, shorter than Cui Xiu, about 1.75 meters tall, in this world, especially in places like Ganzhou.
The bones were still hung with the clothes worn by the master before his death, a simple gray robe, which was already a little tattered.
At the skull, a black scarf also fell.
The style of Taoist robes is not worn by monks and Taoist priests, and many ordinary scholars like to wear Taoist robes, but most of them are scholars.
When Cui Xiu saw this, he roughly understood the identity of the owner of the bones, and it should be the bold scholar.
Shaking his head slightly, this scholar said that his encounter was somewhat similar to him, and the difference between the two was only Cui Xiu's gray mist ability.
When I came back to my senses and looked at it carefully, the bones were like topaz, faintly shiny, and they were even more exquisite than the human bones that Cui Xiu picked up before.
Just seeing this, Cui Xiu understood that the gray air flow on this corpse would not be less.
He squatted down and touched it, and it was indeed as he guessed, there was a lot of gray airflow in his bones, and he was also a little happy to see this.
However, he did not rush to absorb the gray air flow on the bones, but observed it more comprehensively.
Soon, he realized that something was wrong.
