Chapter 15: Dried Corpses
In the silence of the green woods, there were no animal tracks, and no insects could be heard, except for the occasional blue-tailed eagle sweeping down from the sky, folding its wings and resting on the branches, and then leaving silently after a while. The deeper you go into www.biquge.info the woods, the denser the green trees become. Eventually, the green trees in the forest rose one after another, covering the sky, dappling the sunlight on the forest floor and completely blocking the blue-tailed eagle from the forest. The green wood porpoise in the forest also became bold, burrowing out of its hidden hole and swaggering around the woodland, jumping up and down along the branches and rattans with impunity.
A spotted leopard, out of nowhere, jumped a few steps through the dark forest, and frightened the group of green wood dolphins and ran away like crazy. The leopard laughed, and at this time it happened to be a fat green wood pork, and in a panic, it happened to hit its head in front of its paw, and the leopard was not polite, and slapped it with one paw, and turned around and shouted: "These rats are very fat!
Cheng Ziming just caught up and smiled when he heard it. He has gained a lot along the way, and his storage bag is stuffed with many ripe green vine fruits. He was thinking in his heart that if he went back and brewed these green vine fruits into wine, maybe he would soon be able to upgrade to another level of cultivation.
Suddenly, a gray-winged and red-bellied lark flew head-on, flew directly in front of Cheng Ziming, and circled around him a few times. The leopard looked strange and asked, "Strange! I haven't seen any birds or beasts in this forest all the way!"
Cheng Ziming chuckled and said, "You don't remember this finch? Now that I've seen it, I'm afraid Pearl Girl is nearby. ”
Before the words fell, the rattan hanging on the branch shook, and a beautiful shadow flashed from behind the tree, and it was indeed Wen Pearl. She looked a little sad and said softly: "Cheng Gongzi, it's me." The little sister found something in the forest. The sister didn't want to alarm others, so she asked the younger sister to find the son......" Then, Wen Pearl asked a little eagerly, "Can the son do me a favor?"
Deep in the forest, two old trees with roots grow side by side, their branches and trunks covered with staggered vines. Under the tree, there was a dried corpse, half-lying and half-sitting against the trunk, covered with dead branches and leaves. The body had dried all the muscle and fat all over its body, and it was clear at a glance that it had been dead for many years. However, the clothes on the corpse showed no signs of decay, except for a few round holes in the front of the chest, which seemed to have been forcibly pierced by sharp weapons.
On the trunk of the tree against which the corpse rested, a few lines of words were scribbled with a sharp blade: I, Ma Jianzhu, a disciple of the Los Angeles faction, and my sister Mei Qingchi vowed to live and die together. I had no choice but to be separated from her in the dead woods. If you want to find the remains of your sister and bury them together, you will be grateful.
After Cheng Ziming carefully looked at all this, he already understood in his heart: judging from the handwriting, the words on the trunk and the words on the previous bluestone should be from the same person. Since the words on the trunk of the tree were obviously left by this corpse before he died, it was obvious that the person who left the clues on the bluestone before that must have been this disciple of the Los Angeles faction who was now dead and named Ma Jianzhu before his death.
His story should not be difficult to deduce. This Ma Jianzhu Daoyou has a very loving woman, who is his junior sister Mei Qingchi. The two should still be in the initial stage of love in the mountain alliance and sea vow, and they swear that they will not be separated in life and death. It's just that I don't know what the reason is, Ma Jianzhu and Mei Qingchi went to the demon capital together and became the spiritual disciples of the altar.
After that, the two of them entered the Five Elements Spirit Realm together, and they should have also received the task of eliminating the Aoki Dolphin. Judging from the previous message on the bluestone, the two of them were originally full of confidence in completing this task, but suddenly something changed, and the seemingly simple task turned out to be a trap.
At the moment of life and death, Ma Jianzhu left Mei Qingchi and fled alone, and then regretted turning back to look for Mei Qingchi. But this time he was unlucky and died directly in the green wood forest. Before he died, he also left a handwriting on the trunk of the tree, begging the latecomers to help him fulfill his wish and find the body of his sister Mei Qingchi, so that the two of them could be buried together.
Cheng Ziming secretly sighed in his heart: This Ma Daoyou, although he left his girlfriend and ran away alone at a critical juncture, he looked very irresponsible. But he regretted and blamed himself, and returned alone to try to save his girlfriend, willing to fulfill his vow to live and die with his girlfriend, and he can be regarded as a pitiful person.
Thinking of Wen Pearl's request for help, Cheng Ziming thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly at Wen Pearl: "The girl wants to help this favor in the next place, won't it mean to find the remains of his junior sister for this fellow Daoist, so that they can be buried together? Perhaps, his younger sister may have lost her bones, and her body has decayed and weathered.
Moreover, even if there are really corpses left, where can they find such a big forest? What's more, even if one or two corpses are really found, how can they know that they must be Mei Qingchi's remains? Also, this Ma Daoyou's promise of reward is too unbelievable, he is already like this, what can he talk about!"
"Cheng Gongzi misunderstood. Wen Pearl smiled gloomily: "The little girl just thinks that this Ma Daoyou is a good person who values love and righteousness, and he shouldn't expose the corpse in the wilderness like this, and want to bury him." But the little girl is a weak woman, and she is not suitable for this kind of physical work, so she turned to Cheng Gongzi for help. I don't know ...... childe"
"It turns out that the girl wants to dig a pit and bury people?" Cheng Ziming's heart was gloomy for a while.
"It's a pity that the little girl is a wood and water twin spirit root cultivator, and she doesn't know earth-based spells, otherwise a ground trap trick can solve the problem. Wen Pearl looked at Cheng Ziming's entangled face, and hurriedly added: "It's better to take Ma Daoyou's property as a reward." Presumably, he is also grateful for Childe's righteous deeds. He should be ......"
Wen Pearl said that it was inevitable that he would be stuck. Because this horse Taoist friend on the ground is really shabby. Although the outer cloak was a magic weapon with still a spiritual aura, it was a pity that it had broken a few holes, and only the white bones were left in his right hand, holding a sword that shone with cold light. This sword looks acceptable, but it has been broken into two pieces, the skeleton has a string of bluestone beads tied to its wrist, but unfortunately the jade aura is completely gone, and even the storage bag where the immortal cultivator stores important items does not know where it is lost. Only a piece of animal skin was pressed under the corpse, which seemed to be the fur of some kind of high-level demon beast, but unfortunately it was also pitted and incomplete.
Cheng Ziming saw Wen Zhu's silence in his eyes, and finally sighed and said: "Actually, this kind of work is not very suitable for digging pits and burying people-but it just so happens that there is a earth-based Yellow Turban Lux Talisman here, which will be used to fulfill the girl's good deeds." ”
