Chapter 43: The House of Human Bones

"Hua Face, it was you who told us that the Nine Heavens Demon Wheel and the Phoenix Feather were on Yang Zongheng, and it was you who sued us that the Bai Family Mage was killed by him, don't you just want us to kill him?

Hua Mian said coldly: "I have no problem with you killing him, but not this time?"

"Why?" the mages were puzzled.

Hua Mian didn't explain, just looked at the direction of Yang Zongheng's escape and said: "Don't worry, I will only help him once, next time I hold him, if you want to kill him, you will be killed." ”

Mo Qingshan sneered: "Help once, if I am not mistaken, you also helped him in the Leizhou Fantasy Realm at the beginning, how can we believe you." ”

Hua Mian turned his head to look at Mo Qingshan, a cold light flashed in his deep eyes, and Mo Qingshan's face couldn't help but show a trace of fear.

I only heard Hua Mian say: "I'm not helping him." Then he added, "If you don't believe, you can catch up now, and I will not stop you." After saying that, he turned into a white light and rushed into the sky.

Huamian left, and the mages looked at the deep valley, although they wanted to catch up, but the Flying Xuanhu still made them feel uneasy, so they wandered around the mountain pass for a while to discuss countermeasures.

In the end, they decided to leave a few people to guard the mountain pass first, so as to avoid letting Yang Zongheng escape, and the others returned to Luoshan City to rest and wait until they found a way to subdue the Flying Xuanhu before entering the mountain.

Yang Zongheng and Liu Xiaoxiao stepped on the magic wheel and flew for about an hour, Yang Zongheng couldn't support it, so he landed the magic wheel in the mountains and forests, and he saw that the Legalists didn't catch up, so he was relieved.

"How do you feel?" Yang Zongheng asked as he looked at Liu Xiaoxiao.

Liu Xiaoxiao took out a medicine bottle, poured out a pill and put it in her mouth and said, "I'm fine, but I can't use spells for the time being, just rest for a while." ”

Yang Zongheng heard her say that she had no worries about her life, so he relieved himself.

Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at Yang Zongheng and said strangely: "You were more seriously injured than me not long ago, why do you seem to be okay now." ”

Yang Zongheng naturally knew that it was Dayan Demon Body who was helping him repair his body, but he couldn't tell Liu Xiaoxiao the truth, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe I'm too anxious and forgot that I have injuries on my body." ”

Liu Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and didn't ask, the two discussed that it was too risky to go out of the mountain at this time, so it was better to wait for Liu Xiaoxiao's injuries to heal before finding a chance, and by the way, to find out if there were any other mountain passes in the mountain.

After the two of them finished discussing, they each rested in silence for a moment, and then got up and walked towards the deep mountain.

The sky gradually darkened, and the two still did not find the exit of the mountain pass, so they could only spend the night in the mountains.

Seeing that Liu Xiaoxiao was a little unsupportable, Yang Zongheng asked, "Do you want me to carry you?"

Liu Xiaoxiao shook her head, but she couldn't stand up after she had gone far, and Yang Zongheng said: "Don't say anything if you go on like this, you can't even find a decent place to shelter from the wind and rain, it won't do you any good for your injury." ”

Liu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and was silent, and finally Yang Zongheng squatted down in front of Liu Xiaoxiao, ready to carry her.

Liu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, and seemed to have made a lot of determination to put her hands on his shoulders, but she immediately regretted it, and was about to retract it, but her hands were already grabbed by Yang Zongheng, and she pulled forward and lifted Liu Xiaoxiao on her back.

Liu Xiaoxiao was about to struggle, but she felt that Yang Zongheng clenched her fists with both hands, tightly strangled her legs, and did not take the opportunity to take advantage of herself. Liu Xiaoxiao had never been in such close contact with a man, and now she felt an unprecedented sense of security lying on Yang Zongheng's back, so she no longer struggled. Just thinking that he was so close to a man on the ground, he couldn't help but blush, but fortunately, Yang Zongheng couldn't see it.

It was already dark, the moon and stars were hidden in the clouds, and the cold wind was gusting in the mountains, and there were signs of rain.

Although Yang Zongheng's injuries are healed, his mana can't be used normally, so it is not easy to carry Liu Xiaoxiao on his back, at this time he just wants to find a drier cave and light a bonfire, so that they can barely survive tonight.

But he never saw a cave along the way, which made Yang Zongheng very annoyed.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a little starlight in the distance, as if there was someone in front of him, Yang Zongheng was overjoyed and hurriedly cheered up and walked towards the light.

As the saying goes: look at the mountain and run a dead horse. Yang Zongheng looked at the stars and lights for only a hundred meters, but he walked for half an hour.

On the way, the more Yang Zongheng thought about it, the more strange it became, how could this deep mountain old forest be inhabited? Several times he had to turn his head and leave, but Liu Xiaoxiao's breath on his back became lighter and lighter, and he was immediately exhausted.

In the end, Yang Zongheng gritted his teeth, whatever, let's take a step at a time.

Approaching the lamp, Yang Zongheng saw that there was indeed a hut, and the words "mountain guard" could be dimly seen on the sign in front of the house.

"It turned out to be a mountain keeper. Yang Zongheng's heart was relieved of most of it, although the deep mountains and old forests do not need to be taken care of, but there are some places where ore and timber are found, and people are sent to guard them before development, and it is not uncommon for such a situation to be assumed.

So Yang Zongheng cleared his throat and shouted at the hut, "Is there anyone?"

"Nope. The man in the room replied very simply.

"Nima, what kind of person? Yang Zongheng scolded in his heart, but he still had to say politely: "Hello, can we spend the night here?"

The people in the house did not answer, but the door slowly opened, and an old man hunched over appeared in the doorway.

"Uncle, I went into the mountains to hunt and got lost, can you make it convenient for us to spend the night here. Yang pleaded.

"If you are chased and killed, you will be chased and killed, what do you say about going into the mountains to hunt, is the old man so easy to deceive?" The old man directly broke Yang Zongheng's lie.

Yang Zongheng asked with some surprise, "How did the old man know?"

The old man sneered: "The mages in the valley are flying all over the sky like locusts, and even the Flying Xuanhu has appeared, such a big movement, I don't think it's difficult to know." ”

Yang Zongheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old man: "Can you get in?"

Yang Zongheng immediately raised his legs and entered the room, only to see that the cottage was simply furnished, and the walls, tables and chairs were covered with a layer of moss, I don't know if it was because the valley was too humid.

Yang Zongheng didn't think much about it, just put Liu Xiaoxiao on the small bed covered with straw mats, stood up and was about to thank the old man again, but the old man walked straight into the back room.

After a while, he took out a knife, Yang Zongheng saw it, and couldn't help but mention it, but the old man walked straight to the door.

"Uncle, what are you going to do?"

"Prepare the spices for cooking. ”

"Don't bother, uncle, you are willing to let us stay here for one night, we are very grateful. Yang Zongheng thought that the old man was going to prepare food for them.

The old man listened to him, looked at him, smiled on his face, and walked out of the house.

At this time, Yang Zongheng didn't have the strength to stop the old man anymore, and seeing that Liu Xiaoxiao was sleeping peacefully, he also sat on the chair and rested with his head up.

Early the next morning, Yang Zongheng was awakened by a crackling sound outside, turned his head to look at Liu Xiaoxiao, and saw that her face was ruddy, and her injuries seemed to have been reduced a lot.

Just as he was about to go out to see what the old man was doing, Liu Xiaoxiao grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Yang Zongheng glanced at Liu Xiaoxiao and was about to speak, but Liu Xiaoxiao was facing the ceiling, Yang Zongheng looked up, but the roof was uneven, with a layer of moss on it, and there was nothing abnormal in the rest.

Liu Xiaoxiao saw that Yang Zongheng didn't see why, so she raised her hand slightly, and a thin light pierced the roof, a piece of moss peeled off, and a skull appeared in the sight of the two.

The black eye hole of the skull was staring at the two of them, Yang Zongheng couldn't help but take two steps back and looked at Liu Xiaoxiao in astonishment, Liu Xiaoxiao sat up from the bed, patted the bed where she was lying, and then tore off a large piece of moss, only to see that the bed was full of white bones, from foot bones, leg bones, ribs, and even skulls, I don't know how many people can be pieced together.

This bed is clearly made of human bones, no, it looks like the whole room is made of human bones.

Thinking that he had slept in a bone room, Yang Zongheng couldn't help but stand upside down.

At this moment, the old man walked into the house slowly humming a little song, and saw Yang Zongheng and Liu Xiaoxiao staring at him with strange eyes, and then saw the bare white bones outside the moss, and couldn't help grinning: "Found it." ”

Then the old man made a gesture to invite someone, and although Yang Zongheng and Liu Xiaoxiao didn't know why, they still walked out the door.

At some point, there was an extra stove at the door, and the water in the cauldron was "gurgling".

The old man walked out, holding the stove in one hand and a cold kitchen knife on his waist in the other, looking at the two of them with a smile on his face, and then at the pot full of boiling water, as if waiting for them to jump down by themselves.

Yang Zongheng strengthened his courage and walked slowly in front of the old man, and glanced at the old man.

The old man was about sixty or seventy years old, with dark skin and no beard, and he didn't pay the slightest attention to Yang Zongheng passing in front of him.

Yang Zongheng glanced at the boiling water in the pot, and there was a stone slab next to the stove, on which more than ten kinds of ingredients were placed.

"It was quite well prepared. Yang Zongheng said in his heart.

Yang Zongheng thought about delaying time, and after thinking about it, he turned to the old man and said, "What are you going to do here?"

"Stew. ”

"Where's the meat?"

"On you. ”

It's really subtle.

Yang Zongheng glanced at Liu Xiaoxiao, and suddenly threw a punch at the old man, this punch Yang Zongheng had already used all his strength, he guessed that this old man must not be an ordinary person, so he didn't expect to kill him in one fell swoop, he just wanted to buy time for them to escape.

As it turned out, he thought too much, and Yang Zongheng's punch with all his strength was easily caught by the old man.

Then the kitchen knife in his hand slashed at Yang Zongheng's arm.

At this moment, a jade willow branch suddenly entangled the kitchen knife, Yang Zongheng hurriedly stretched out a kick and kicked directly at the old man's lower yin, and the old man hurriedly broke free from the jade willow branch and took a few steps back.

"You're a mage, how can you do this? The old man was quite ashamed of Yang Zongheng's moves.

"Your life is almost gone, and you can't do it, old man, you're here to be funny. ”

"It's good that I haven't met a mage in a long time, and today is just the right time to stretch my muscles. The old man said with a sneer.

As soon as the words fell, a magic seal in both hands rushed towards Yang Zongheng.
