Chapter 199: Tushan Cemetery
On a platform at the top of Tushan Peak, the old Tushan Ancestor was dressed in costume, sitting there quietly alone, looking at the laughing and frolicking clansmen in the square below, with no expression on his gloomy face.
A slight sound of footsteps sounded from the side, and the old lady's brow immediately furrowed, and her majesty did not diminish in the slightest.
"I said no one was allowed to come up!"
The footsteps were unhurried, still slowly approaching, the old lady turned her head, her face was slightly startled: "Ning girl, it's you ......"
It was Ying Ning who walked slowly in the dark night, she took off the clothes she was used to wearing on weekdays at this time, and put on a bright red phoenix cloak crown, a gilded step shook her hair high, a layer of elegant gouache on her face, and although the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were still slightly green, it was enough to make men in the world obsessed.
At this moment, Ying Ning, no longer has the usual eccentricity, and has turned into a stunning city, even the little nineteen with bright eyes and bright teeth is slightly inferior to Ying Ning at this moment.
Tu Shan Ancestor was silent for a long time and then spoke: "You girl usually doesn't like to wear these things, how did you change sex today." ”
Ying Ning walked ten steps in front of Grandma Tai and stood still: "This phoenix crown was given to me by my adoptive mother when I was leaving, and you haven't seen it yet, so I came to see you today." ”
Tu Shan Ancestor sighed, stretched out his hand and patted the ground beside him: "Come here, sit next to me." ”
Ying Ning hummed, slowly walked to the grandmother and sat down, and the two of them looked at the clansmen laughing wantonly on the hillside below, and they were silent.
After a long time, Tu Shan Ancestor opened his mouth to break the silence: "This time the Tu Shan clan can be safe and sound, and I have inherited a great favor from you and Wu Ming, and it will be difficult to dig up his skull in the future." ”
Ying Ning pouted: "You still think about his skull!"
"I'm thinking about the Tu Shan clan!" Tu Shan Ancestor's expression was sharp, and his voice raised a lot: "Although I escaped this time, I will be gone in the future, who will protect the safety of the Tu Shan clan!"
After saying this, the old lady and Ying Ning turned pale at the same time, and they were both silent.
"You don't have to worry too much about the affairs of your clansmen, there is always a way to get by. Ying Ning's voice was very low: "In fact, it is because you have been guarding Tu Mountain for hundreds of years that everyone will not want to make progress and indulge in comfort and pleasure." ”
"It's my fault!"
Tushan Ancestor snorted heavily, and then spoke: "I don't think you plan to go back to Tushan, I originally planned to pass on the patriarch to you, but it seems impossible." ”
Ying Ning was shocked, let herself be the patriarch?
Just kidding!
Tu Shan's old ancestor said with some reluctance: "Among Tu Shan's so many descendants, you, this girl, is the most like me." But it's useless to talk about it now......"
The old lady looked at the bonfire below, and her face was gloomy: "If I take back the words I used to expel you from Tu Mountain, you will always be a member of the Tu Mountain Fox Clan in the future." ”
Ying Ning's body twitched slightly, but she didn't speak.
Then the old lady stretched out her hand and pulled something around her neck, and Yang handed it to Ying Ning: "This key should have been protected by the Tushan patriarch, but it is estimated that the position of patriarch will be vacant for a long time, so put it in your hands for safekeeping." ”
Ying Ning reached out blankly to catch it, and when she saw it, it was half an ancient coin tied with a red rope.
Tushan ancestor changed his words: ", it is the half key that has been handed down from generation to generation by the Tushan clan, and the other half is in the hands of the Weishan fox clan, and the two halves of the key can be opened after the merger There is a gate in the depths of the tomb in the back mountain, and behind the door is the secret treasure left by the ancestor Tushan clan. If you can get the key, take out the secret treasure left by the Tu Shan clan, so as not to be coveted by outsiders again. ”
"The children and grandchildren are incompetent, and they keep the treasure empty, but the root cause ......"
The old lady shook her head as she spoke, her face full of helplessness.
Ying Ning looked at Tu Shan Ancestor, her eyes flashing with fluorescenes: "Grandma, you have wiped out the army of the Centipede King, who dares to say that!"
"Hahaha......"
The old lady laughed a few times, but instead caused a cough, and her voice became choppy.
"I have the remnant soul of the Centipede King and thousands of demon soldiers sealed in my body...... Do not be buried in the back mountain cemetery. Tell some of the elders to find a high mountain and a deep ravine to bury me...... The cemetery was inhabited by bronze steles. After a hundred years, the coffin can be opened and the bones can be taken out, and then it will be returned to the tomb in the back mountain, which is also my last wish......"
"Grandma'......!"
Ying Ning finally couldn't bear it anymore, and leaned on the old lady's body and cried loudly.
......
Early in the morning of the second day, the news of the death of Tushan ancestor spread all over Tushan, and suddenly mourned all over the field.
According to the instructions of the ancestor before his death, several elders of the clan buried her body in a deserted deep stream hundreds of miles away, and suppressed it with bronze tombstones to prevent the remnant soul of the Centipede King and the thousands of demon soldiers from returning to the world to cause chaos.
Ying Ning did not go with the funeral procession, but took Wu Ming to a cave in the back mountain of Tu Mountain.
Wu Ming followed Ying Ning to a stone wall on the slope behind Tu Mountain, and there was a huge dark cave under the stone wall, which was four or five meters high, like a giant mouth, overflowing with cold air.
"What kind of place is this?" Wu Ming involuntarily felt a chill and frowned and asked.
Ying Ning looked at the dark cave in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This is the cemetery of the Tushan clan, and the dead people will be buried in this cave. ”
Wu Mingleng paused: "Your grandmother is not buried in the cemetery, what are you doing here?"
Ying Ning took out a pinch of gray fox tail hair from her arms: "Although Grandma Tai can be buried in the family tomb, I left her a wisp of tail hair." Put this strand of tail hair in the family tomb, and grandma will not be lost when she returns to Tushan in the future. ”
Wu Ming sighed: "Okay, then I'll accompany you." ”
Ying Ning was the first to step into the huge black cave: "You have to go to the deepest part of the cave. ”
Wu Ming looked left and right, and then followed Ying Ning into the cave.
Ever since he was almost frightened by Nie Yinniang yesterday, Wu Ming always had a delusion - there was a cold woman standing behind him, watching his every move.
Wu Ming walked into the cave with Ying Ning, looked up and looked forward, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"So many ghost fires!"
In the darkness in front of the cave, countless faint green fires fluttered in the air, like fireflies on a summer night, and there were countless of them.
"These are the fox fires that the demon fox condensed in the tail before his death, and the mana collapsed after the demon fox died, but the fox fire will be retained. Ying Ning walked towards the firelight.
"After the death of the demon fox, the body returns to the dust, and a small part of the demon power is retained in the form of fox fire, so every bit of fire here represents a dead demon fox. ”
Wu Ming looked around, the demon foxes of the Tushan clan for thousands of years were buried in this cave, and there were tens of thousands of fox fires in the darkness around him!
"Let's go, there's still a long way to go. ”
Ying Ning led the way in front, Wu Ming followed, and the two of them walked towards the depths of darkness.
The dark green fox fire fluttering around them seemed to have spirituality, and automatically floated to both sides, making way for them to make way to the dark and deep bottom.
