Chapter Twenty-Nine: Strange Skeletons
The three of them let out an "ah" at the same time!
After pondering for a while, Dugu Yangming asked, "Are you sure?"
Lu Qiu said firmly: "It's not wrong! It's just that he is a dead man, but it doesn't look like a dead man, but like a skeleton." He waved his hand and said, "According to my feelings, this ghost thing is not in any danger, just ignore it." ”
Dugu Yangming said: "No! If it is really a skeleton, it can only be the predecessor of the sect." We are the juniors, so we naturally want to help them settle down. Take 10,000 steps back, and we have to make sure that he is okay before leaving. Otherwise, it will always be a hidden danger, and if something really comes out, it will be troublesome. So saying, he walked to the left.
Ling Hu Xu was holding on and said urgently: "Second brother, don't be so strong, okay?" Senior Brother Le Yu said that it is not dangerous, it must be right. Have you forgotten that the silver-ringed ferret can't be made? Let's go back safely and collect some spiritual materials, isn't it?"
Dugu Yangming smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'm just going over to confirm it! You wait here, I'll come when I go!" he said, still walking to the left.
Huang Shi whispered: "Senior Brother Yangming's courage is also too great, and he is not afraid of such taboo things as dead people and skeletons. ”
Shangguan Canghai said: "Yes! This bastard boy, sometimes, there is really nothing to do with him! I wonder if he grew up eating leopard gall since he was a child." ”
Lu Qiu said helplessly: "He is extremely delicate and bold, and he can often turn evil into good fortune, who can reason with this." ”
Ling Huxu had a gloomy face, and said to the three of them: "This, you really don't know the truth. When my second brother was five years old, his parents died, and he lived in a mass grave for two years to prevent wild dogs from taking away his parents' corpses. At this point, I couldn't help but sob.
The faces of the three people changed drastically, and they looked surprised. Shangguan Canghai asked in a lower voice, "Senior Brother Leyu, what happened later?"
My second brother personally built the burial chamber with stones, and only after making sure that it would not be cut open by wild beasts, did he leave. ”
After hearing this, the three of them looked solemn, and only then did they somewhat understand why this senior brother was always surprisingly bold. One by one: "He has experienced the hardships of life since he was a child, and he must have endured how many extraordinary human tortures he had to endure before he survived." If I ,......!"
The four of them waited for a long time, but they didn't see Dugu Yangming turn around, they glanced at each other, strengthened their courage, and walked towards the messy stone bush.
In other words, Dugu Yangming came to the rocks alone, searched cautiously and carefully, and searched for a long time, but found nothing. Xin said: "To be honest, the fat man definitely has this ability, and he shouldn't be wrong." How could I not find it! This piece of land, which seems obvious, is actually very secretive. Am I missing something?"
When he looked carefully, his eyes finally focused on three extremely inconspicuous piles of stones. Xin said: "Stone Mountain, once the place where the sect collected boulders, there is a stone burial, it is normal. But this matter is too far in time, and even if there are later generations, will they not pay attention to the corpses of their predecessors and let them be in the wilderness? Moreover, these three piles of stones, even if they are not very far away, are not naturally formed, and they are a bit unlike those of human beings. It seems that there is something strange. ”
Dugu Yangming carefully inspected the surrounding boulders to eliminate all possible potential dangers, and then squatted down to remove the three piles of stones. When the stone was carefully removed, it was found that there was extremely thick grass underneath. These plants and trees are all first-grade and second-grade spiritual materials. Judging from the color, it has been about ten years, and the spiritual power has long been exhausted.
He pondered: "Could it be that there was once a person who killed another person, and after one person killed another, he was somewhat unbearable, so he used some low-level spiritual materials as compensation? But the strange thing is that this is not like a human pose. Could it be that someone is too flustered?"
When Dugu Yangming confirmed that the skeleton was below this, he was still a little nervous, and the bead and the stick were held tighter. He said softly: "Seniors, we are all from the same family, there is no need to be ruthless to a junior." If you don't dislike it, I can bury you alive. If you have any comments, I will leave quickly. He said so, but he never stopped in his hand, and the withered grass had already been unveiled three times.
At this time, a strong smell of dead bones came out of the grass. Dugu Yangming chuckled: "What the hell, did this man do it, or did it do it by a brute." Speaking of what people do, it seems to be very messy. Talking about what the brute did, how could the brute know the stench that covered the bones!" Peeling down three more layers, the hand finally stopped.
Because this layer is a third-grade spirit grass, and there are even some fourth-grade spirit grasses. Naturally, the spiritual power has been completely lost a long time ago, but with Dugu Yangming's current knowledge, he will find that this is caused by something absorbing the spiritual power. He said, "Don't be a senior master who is going to do this kind of strange cultivation. If that's the case, I won't be able to eat and walk away. ”
But in fact, Dugu Yangming had clearly seen a skeleton, which was cleverly hidden in a stone canal. The skeleton's body was already blackened, and there was only a pair of eyes, which still glowed bright green. It was so quiet that even the skeleton's breathing could be heard.
Dugu Yangming was surprised and said: "It won't be alive!" After calming down a little, he said in his heart: "If you are really alive, even if you run now, it will be too late." It's better to find out. "Once you've chosen a terrain where you can fight, start uncovering the grass from the skull.
I saw this skeleton, with black hair, green light from its eyes, and its bones were already black. At the left and right ventricles, there is something similar to a "pill", which emits a faint spiritual light. Its breath is like that of a living person who is dying. And the place where the breath is produced are the two "pills".
Dugu Yang said in his heart: "Don't say that you can't move, but you can, I'm really not afraid of you." Thinking of this, he took out two first-grade pills and plugged his nose, and took a second-grade elixir in his mouth. Arching his hands, he said, "Senior, offended!" got up and moved the surrounding rocks away, and then took off the nameless piece of iron from his back, pinched the beads and held the iron piece in his left hand, and clenched the black stick in his right hand. Finding a balance between the upper and lower bodies of the skeleton, he carefully lifted the skeleton out of the pit and placed it on the ground with great care.
When I looked at it carefully, it was still the same as what I had just seen, but there was a strange pit on the left chest of the skeleton, which attracted the attention of Dugu Yangming. Xin said: "It's strange, this shape, why am I so familiar!" said that, he took out a jade plate, touched it from it for a while, and found a tortoise shell. After a slight comparison, he chuckled and said, "Damn, how do I say it, it's familiar! It turned out to be the shape of a tortoiseshell that I had pondered repeatedly." ”
Driven by curiosity, Dugu Yangming pressed the tortoise shell down without hesitation and embedded it steadily. For a long time, an incredible thing appeared in front of his eyes. I saw wisps of red light emitting from the tortoise shell, which did not shoot outward, but followed the dozens of lines on the skeleton's body and began to swim slowly. These lines are almost the same as the meridians of the human body. When the red light traveled all over the lines, the black aura of the skeleton faded a little.
Next, just like the cultivation of the living person's spiritual attraction, the red light source continued to be replenished, and the skeleton's breathing body gradually stabilized. At the same time, the two pills at the ventricles began to light up, as if they were eager to make up for their hunger. But these red lights, for some reason, are difficult to access for a while.
Dugu Yang said in his heart: "It's strange! Could it be that it is the bones of the skeleton, and the absorption of spiritual power is far better than those two 'pills'?" A pair of eyes followed the red light and began to swirl around the skeleton's body. After a long time, I realized that the red light seemed to be sucked by something under the skeleton's feet. The section under the bottom of the feet is also a bone, but it is much thicker, like two animal bones accidentally stepped on by both feet, embedded in it.
"Obviously, this truncation is not owned by the human body. It seems to be used to absorb spiritual power, but I don't know what it has to do with skeletons. After thinking for a while, he said softly: "it, I'll cut you off first." It's a big deal, just pick it up for you. He bowed to the skeleton again and said, "Please forgive me for offending the noble body of the seniors!"
Now, what happened did fulfill Dugu Yangming's conjecture. I saw strands of red light, and began to quickly enter the place of "Dan Pill" at the ventricle and merge with it. It seems that when the "Dan Pill" is full, a scene occurs: the red light on the tortoise shell enters the "Dan Pill", and the afterglow at the two "Dan Pills" begins to dissipate to the lines of the skeleton's body. The skeleton's body began to change dramatically, as if it was growing flesh, starting from the empty chest cavity, and a layer of black mist appeared. Gradually, it spreads all over the body. The sound of breathing in the mouth and nose is even more pronounced.
When Dugu Yangming was stunned, he suddenly felt that his back was smashed, and in shock, he flashed backwards and leaned towards a boulder that had been selected earlier. Looking up, four pairs of even more surprised eyes were looking at themselves. Immediately scolded: "Which of you just beat me? I'll beat you to death, believe it or not? When it's so dangerous, dare you play such a joke with me?"
The four of them were scolded and sobered up, all of them looked blank and looked at each other. Huang Shi was the first to react, and said hurriedly: "Who beat you?" We watched you toss the skeleton, and our hearts were about to jump out of our throats. ”
Dugu Yangming looked at these four people, and it didn't seem like he was joking with himself, so he approached the skeleton again with confidence. said: "You have also seen it! This person must be a senior of the sect, and I don't know which fellow sect framed him to end up like this." Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he said, "No! We're going to take it back!"
After the four of them came back to their senses, they also walked down, all trembling nervously.
Ling Hu Xu said in a trembling voice: "Second brother, are you crazy and let the skeleton ghost charm your mind? Can you bring this thing back? Don't think that if you have merit, you will be lawless, and no one can control you." ”
Dugu Yangming no longer paid attention to the four of them, and said, "You know a fart! Now, I can probably guess who he is!" As he spoke, he took out a roll of silk cloth about five inches wide from his Ruyi belt, and there was a faint layer of blood in the white, which began to wrap around his feet.
Shangguan Canghai asked, "Who is it?" How did you guess that?"
"Don't you know how to use your own pig brains? Think about being a ghost brother with two sides of yin and yang in a day, see if you can think of something!"
Shangguan Canghai exclaimed: "You mean, this senior or senior brother is also cultivating what secret method is it, so he ended up like this?"
"You've got a bit of a brain!"
Huang Shi is the most courageous of the five people, except for Dugu Yangming. When Dugu Yangming was entanglement with the skeleton, he used a branch to ruffle the skeleton's hair, and suddenly exclaimed: "Tsk! This senior brother, when he was alive, was definitely a peerless beautiful man! I'm afraid he is slightly better looking than Yangming's junior brother!"
"When did you still have this ability?"
"Oh, you don't know! It is extremely rare for anyone who has studied the art of physiognomy to deduce from the bones what a person would have looked like when he was alive. ”
"The sect has this kind of thaumaturgy? Why didn't I know?"
"How is that possible? This kind of evil little trick will naturally be forbidden by the famous factions. I have nothing to say about this ancestral tradition. ”
When the two were talking nonsense, Dugu Yangming's hand was very fast, and it had already wrapped around his head.
Shangguan Canghai said softly: "Senior brother, if you get entangled in your head, will you cover it to death? If that's the case, you might as well let it fend for itself!"
Dugu Yangming said angrily: "Can't you think of anything else?" My white jade blood-silk cloth, but the treasure of Lingxiao Hall, even if it is entangled by a living person, it will breathe normally. ”
Huang Shi suddenly lost his voice and said, "Senior brother, are you saying that he is a senior brother?"
Dugu Yang said helplessly: "Don't be surprised, okay! At this time, it is easy to scare the timid out of illness!"
Shangguan Canghai's eyes rolled sharply, and he said as if he knew something: "Could it be that the two senior brothers think that he is the same senior brother who disappeared in the Jiufeng Realm as Senior Brother Xu said?"
Dugu Yangming had already wrapped the skeleton and tied a knot around its waist, which was used to lift it. Then he nodded towards Shangguan Canghai and said, "I guess, it must be him." When Senior Brother Xu once talked about this senior brother, his eyes were not full of sadness, but helplessness. Come to think of it, he must have known some truths, but for various reasons, he didn't tell them. Moreover, what kind of person is Senior Brother Xu? And this person can become the senior brother he admires, thinking about it, this senior brother must have been a powerful existence during his lifetime. To say a strange point, it is that there is no news about this person in the sect, which is really intriguing. ”
Lu Qiu Leyu, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "If it is really like what you said, I may know what his name is!"
The four of them asked in unison, "What's it called?"
"Wan Zhongmou!"
The four of them shouted in unison, "Ahhhh
Lu Qiu Leyu smiled toothily and said, "Actually, I only found out by eavesdropping on Liu Junhao and them." Thirty years ago, there were two 'Zhenwu Shuangjiao' in the Zhenwu Palace. Among the two arrogances, one is Senior Brother Gong, who is now the head of the nine disciples of Zhenwu, and the other is Senior Brother Wan Zhongmou, who disappeared inexplicably. It is said that some people in the sect have discussed this matter in private, and they have all been severely punished by Chongyang Zhenren. Gradually, this matter became a forbidden matter for the sect. ”
Shangguan Canghai asked strangely: "What is this? Can you punish the doorman because of this, isn't it a bit too much?"
Lu Qiu said: "Actually, things are far from being as simple as we can think. Senior Brother Gong is the descendant of the founder of the mountain, which everyone knows. It is said that the former 'True Martial Shuangjiao' seems to be at odds, and the suave Senior Brother Wan seems to have steadily overpowered Senior Brother Gong in all aspects. From this, some vulgar rumors began to spread. The sect also had to go down, so it was banned with a heavy hand. ”
Ling Hu Xuzheng's face began to become ugly, and he said to Dugu Yangming: "Second brother, do you dare to bring it back......?
If he is really Senior Brother Wan, you have also seen it, he is like a living person hibernating. Perhaps, what secret method he has really cultivated, and he can be cured, maybe he can be cured. Besides, Senior Brother Xu would come to the Jiufeng Realm every once in a while to look for it. After I bring it back, find a time to talk to Senior Brother Xu. Anyway, when someone asks you, you pretend you don't know anything and let them ask me. As he spoke, he wrapped the piece of iron on his back, lifted the "Senior Brother Wan" with his left hand, and walked out of the rocks.
Huang Shi also asked with a smile: "Senior brother, is this 'senior brother' heavy?"
"Haha! It's about twenty pounds, why don't you try it?"
"Come on! ”
As soon as he came out of the rocky bush, Lu Qiu Leyu, who opened the road in front, shouted at the same time as Shangguan Canghai: "What is that?"
