It's changed. A turbid wind blew, the loneliness was like dusk sand, the petals of memory withered from the heart, and the pieces drifted away with the wind.

The trees that had grown for thousands of years in the lonely and desolate mountains were furiously stretched out in the wind, and they let out a sharp whistling, the leaves were whirling, the crows were clamouring, and the yellow-green weeds were writhing their bodies wildly.

There is no prosperity here, far away from the people, it was a cemetery that has been barren for many years, and it is almost dusk, but there is clearly a figure lying on a piece of red hard mountain rock, and the body is stretched as far as possible into an exaggerated big character. He was biting down on the cork with his teeth and pouring the last bit of water from the gourd into his mouth.

The cool stream water moistened the dry lips and throat, Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but let out a long breath of relief, shook the empty gourd, and muttered to himself: "Dead old man, why can't you order the Danqing old cellar of Yunhe Tower?!"

He sat up listlessly, and took out a bunch of different sizes and shapes from his bosom, and that was all he had for todayβ€”a few pieces of jade, four silver cups, seven or eight gold melon seeds, two rings, one gold and one bronze, and some miscellaneous and inconspicuous-looking little things, or barely able to exchange them for a few taels of silver. In short, a good day is basically in vain.

Around him, graves piled with loess loomed in the withered yellow weeds more than half a man high. After Diao Xiaosi's diligent and unremitting excavation all day, nearly half of the graves were disemboweled. The coffins, which had been buried in the earth and had decayed, were exposed to the reddish sunset at the very end of the sky, as if they were coated with a layer of blood-like red on the surface.

The remnant sun drips blood, and there is a mass grave, and there is only one person, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

As long as it is a human being, as long as it is a normal person, there will be some goosebumps and other adverse reactions on his body, but Diao Xiaosi does not, and even, he doesn't even feel a little "cold" hair.

It's not fearless, it's indifferent. Since he was four years old, he began to sleep in the cemetery, and according to the dead old man, there are many advantages of this, but the one that makes Diao Xiaosi feel the most is that from hell to heaven, it is only one step away.

The dead old man, Diao Xiaosi's grandfather, has a god-like work and rest routine, like a dragon who sees the head but does not see the end, and also has god-like operating rules, and does not dig ordinary graves.

According to him, since ancient times, the predecessors have occupied the pit and the descendants have dug graves, and anyway, whoever digs the grave is the same dug, and finding someone with more oil and water to start is not also in line with nature and the will of heaven...... At the same time, these dignitaries and nobles were buried in the scenery, but they also left endless dreams and fantasies for future generations.

Do more with less, this is Diao Xiaosi's four-character proverb. Although he has gone through countless empty hands, he deeply understands that not every career can be successful, and not every baby can be obtained.

This time, Diao Xiaosi was targeted by a group of eunuchs from the former dynasty. Who told them to write down such a sum of money in the Jiangzhou Prefecture County Chronicles and the archives of the previous dynasty? It took Diao Xiaosi half a month to finally find the location of the tombs of these dead eunuchs. Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, this excavation not only did not surprise Diao Xiaosi, but found an annoying fact, it turned out that most of the eunuchs were losers.

Diao Xiaosi really wanted to pull this group of losers out of the coffin and ask: Where did they spend all the people's fat and people's ointment, why don't they take it with them and wait for the master to pick it up?

At this time, the sky was completely dark, there was a little more chill in the wind, and the surrounding scenery became shadowy in the hazy moonlight, miserable and bleak.

"Do you want to dig it up again?" Diao Xiaosi muttered in his heart, looking around the dozens of graves swaying in the wind with hatred.

According to the information provided by the dead old man, this group of eunuchs brought a lot of treasures when they fled from the palace, even if they felt that there were not many good days in the mixed world, they could only live one day at a time, live one day at a time, earn one day at a time, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble along the way, and at the end of the day, they should have some treasures at the bottom of the box on hand.

Although nine and a half of the dead old man's ten sentences are usually fooling, Diao Xiaosi has been trying to comfort himself: this time it must be true.

After only a moment of hesitation, Diao Xiaosi picked up a shovel and hammer and jumped down the mountain rock, gritted his teeth and walked to the nearest grave.

This area is full of barren mountains and wild graves, and no one has erected a monument, so whether the one lying down is happy or not, in fact, he has become a lonely ghost.

In Diao Xiaosi's distant and vague memory, since the day he apprenticed, he understood that it was the same digging of the soil, but the result was completely different. One is to see what grows on top of the soil, and the other is to see what is buried under the soil. It is strength to fight up, but luck to go down.

He first circled around the grave, poking and knocking here and there with the guy in his hand, and his mouth kept chanting.

Although the process and feeling of digging the grave and opening the coffin are the same every time, it is very tiring and dusty, but when he thinks of a large number of pearls, agate, coral jade, squeezed and piled up in the coffin, waiting for him, Diao Xiaosi suddenly gave birth to layers of courage and strength, and even the coffin board that gradually emerged from the loess became dazzling and extremely lovely.

When the sand on the coffin was removed and the copper nail wedged into the coffin was pulled, Diao Xiaosi slowly pried open the coffin lid with an iron drill, and a smell of old decay came to his nose.

Diao Xiaosi held his breath and took two steps back to watch, and his scalp couldn't help but tingle.

In the coffin lay a white-haired old eunuch with bright clothes and a lifelike face. Although he has been dead for many years, he looks like he is alive.

Diao Xiaosi had not encountered a similar situation before, and he had also heard the old man say that the corpses of some high-ranking monks outside the world would not decay after their death, and if they were incinerated with fire, they could still refine relics. Until today, the Daming Temple of Yangzhou Mansion still enshrines the relics of a high monk, and the incense is constantly regarded as a god by the men and women who believe in it all day long.

But this old eunuch is obviously not a god who has attained Buddhahood, and it seems to be a little demonic. Diao Xiaosi's vigilant gaze slowly looked down the old eunuch's body, and when he saw a crystal clear jade plate held in the other party's chest in both hands, his eyes lit up.

This color, this craftsmanship, and this texture can be sold for thousands of taels of silver when you close your eyes on the black market.

Soon, the sense of success brought a sense of joy in my heart. That's a good old saying, perseverance is victory!

He took out a sigil from his cuff and put it on the old eunuch's face with a "snap".

The front and back of this sigil are painted with crooked and distorted tadpole-like dragon chapters and phoenix inscriptions, and in the center is the word "town" written in the blue sea cinnabar, which is the ancestral "Ananta town seal" of the Diao family, which is dedicated to suppressing all the demons and ghosts that wander in the world.

Then Diao Xiaosi grabbed a small cluster of gold dust, and sprinkled it around the eunuch's corpse evenly and meticulously, and then squatted down boldly and said: "Brother, you have the king of Hades down below, why are you holding an empty plate without worrying about eating and drinking? Why don't you lend it to me, and share a glass with you in exchange for a few wine dollars?"

As he spoke, he went to break the eunuch's fingers, which were stiff and cold, and it took a lot of effort to finally pull the jade plate out of the eunuch's chest.

Before he could take a closer look, he didn't know where a wind suddenly blew from, and the sound of "chirp" blew up the Ananta town seal on the eunuch's face, and disappeared into the dark and dreary mountains in a few moments.

Diao Xiaosi was startled, but before he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that the dead man who was lying in the coffin had opened his eyes and was staring at him.

What kind of eyes were they, lifeless, dead-gray eyes motionless, hollow and cold.

"Fake corpse, you baba, you haven't been reincarnated for so long and you're still in the mood to be haunted?!" Diao Xiaosi came face to face with the living dead who was close at hand, and after a spirit, he immediately came to his senses, reached out and took out a peach wood nail and plunged it directly into the other party's chest.

"Pooh!" the peach nail nailed into the eunuch's body with a crisp sound.

The dead eunuch suddenly opened his empty hands and clasped Diao Xiaosi's shoulders. Diao Xiaosi had also learned the fists and feet of a few three-legged cats with the dead old man, and he usually dealt with three or five big men, but although the dead eunuch had stiff limbs, he shot like electricity, so he didn't have time to hide.

Growing so big, it was the first time that Diao Xiaosi had encountered a corpse that was not afraid of Ananda's seal and the peach wood nail to ward off evil spirits. At the moment of life and death, his brain became particularly flexible, and he turned his wrist and pulled out a short knife "Youquan", a family heirloom that was said to have been opened by a monk three hundred years ago, and plunged it into the eunuch's chest with his backhand, and then twisted his luck.

Diao Xiaosi vaguely felt that under the urging of his "Great Freedom True Gang", the Youquan Short Knife exuded wisps of spiritual power and penetrated into the body of the dead eunuch.

Don't say that the zombie ghosts who are idle, even the demons and demons who have become immortals, will also be scattered under the knife of this secluded spring.

Unexpectedly, this knife went down to Youquan, and the knife qi was like a mud cow entering the sea, and the dead eunuch was as if nothing happened.

For the first time, Diao Xiaosi felt a chill rise in his heart, blinked his eyes, and said with a kind smile on his face: "Old man, don't get me wrong, I'm afraid that the coffin will be stuffy and hot, so I specially asked you to come out and breathe the air." ”

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as his voice fell, the dead eunuch suddenly sat up from the coffin.

Diao Xiaosi only felt a pain in his shoulders, and he had taught the two ghost claws to clasp firmly and couldn't move, and then pressed two dark red and purple fat lips to his face.

"No, you dead man-" Diao Xiaosi guessed what the other party wanted to do, and when he was terrified, he struggled desperately to get rid of the other party's ghost claws.

For a moment, he felt a coldness on his face, and the lips of the dead eunuch were just closing his mouth, and he was whimpering in his throat and cursing all the vicious swear words he could think of.

At this moment, he would rather be sleeping with an old sow wrapped up in her arms.

Is there anything more tragic in the world than being invaded and forced to lose one's virginity? The answer is yes, like the dead.

At this moment, Diao Xiaosi thought of a lot......

He thought of the dead old man who had evaporated from the world again, the mother who had been abducted, and the legendary dashing and wealthy father, but he couldn't imagine that he would be desecrated by a dead eunuch .......

Although Diao Xiaosi comforted himself again and again, although the eunuch is not a beauty, he must be "unprecedented" and "peerless". It's a pity that no matter how unprecedented it is, he still can't convince himself to accept it!

At this moment, Diao Xiaosi's inner emotions were full of ups and downs, and he couldn't help but shed tears after all, and the ghost love was not over...... Originally, not everyone could touch it, and it was originally not a ...... that everyone could accept.

Before the tears flowed, the dead eunuch suddenly spewed out a ghostly breath from his mouth with a "poof", thick as water, cold and ice, and couldn't help but pour it into Diao Xiaosi's mouth.

"Hmm-" This steady stream of cold ghost qi flowed down his throat and spread instantly along the meridians in his body. Everywhere he passed, the pitiful and incomparably free Zhengang that Diao Xiaosi had worked so hard to cultivate immediately collapsed and was cleansed without a trace.

"You immortal banban is a shameless thing that has been killed by a thousand knives!" Diao Xiaosi felt like someone had been thrown into ice water, his whole body was getting more and more swollen and cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.

But no matter how he whimpered and struggled, the dead eunuch had no intention of stopping, and one after another cold qi penetrated through his body, diverting to all the meridians and points in his body, and the bulging sacs were like a large bucket of ice water swaying around in his body.

I don't know how much time has passed, Diao Xiaosi gradually felt stiff and numb, his shoulders were light, and the dead eunuch finally let go of Diao Xiaosi, like a deflated skin that suddenly fell into the coffin.

Diao Xiaosi gradually regained his breathing, and gradually came back to his senses, the flames of anger quickly ignited his nerves and thinking, he didn't have time to be disgusted and forgot to be afraid, stared at the eunuch in the coffin with his eyes closed and did not move, and scolded: "Dead old ghost, Lao Tzu must clean you up today, first gouge out your eyes, then cut your nose and ears, cut you into a human stick, and give it to your grandma!"

Suddenly heard the slight sound of "whoosh", wisps of green smoke appeared on the face of the dead eunuch, and his silver hair turned from white to black.

Diao Xiaosi was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily took two steps back, holding the Youquan Knife in his hand and being on guard, but he didn't know what tricks this dead eunuch could conjure.

After a moment's effort, the face in front of him changed unbelievably, and a layer of human skin mask melted and fell off, gradually revealing a beautiful face with a national color and fragrance.

Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and whispered, "It turned out to be a palace maid...... It's pretty good-looking, why do you want to dress up as an old eunuch and be disgusting?"

But thinking of the scene when Shicai's life was worse than death, he couldn't help but hate in his heart: "No, I have to ...... this old man today." The woman's bones are torn apart one by one! Oh no, what the hell is she pouring into me, why is it getting colder and colder, and the fuck is about to freeze to death!"

He slammed into the flames, raised the Youquan knife again, and wanted to tear the woman apart. But as soon as his eyes fell on the other party's beautiful face, the hand holding the knife couldn't fall.

"You're lucky, who let Lao Tzu not bully beautiful women. Diao Xiaosi put away the knife, stuffed the palm-sized jade plate into his arms, closed the coffin lid and slapped the copper nails, and filled the soil with a shovel.

After some tossing, instead of sweating, he became colder, and the cold that seeped into his body was thick and creamy, as if his internal organs were also frozen.

Rao is Diao Xiaosi is bold, and it is inevitable that he will be scared at this moment. While rubbing his hands vigorously and stomping his feet to keep warm, he pondered: "This woman is weird, could it be that she still carries corpse poison?"

But when he raised his hand, his skin did not change in the slightest, and there was no sign of poisoning, but his fingernails faintly glowed with a faint layer of green.

He shouted suddenly: "No, Lao Tzu is about to freeze to death, I have to quickly find a monk to exorcise evil spirits!"

But around him, he saw a skeleton standing up silently from the coffin and walking towards him. Those graves that had never been dug up also poked out of the soil one by one, and the bone claws of Bai Sensen were pointed towards the sky, as if they were grabbing something.

Diao Xiaosi's head was sullen and said: "It's bad, this group of dead eunuchs has collectively changed!"

Without saying a word, he quickly pulled out a "fire exorcism stick" inserted in his back waist and held it in the palm of his hand.

This fire exorcism stick is about a foot long and silver-white, and it is made of real gold from Luofu Mountain Jiuyang. If you encounter ghosts and demons, you only need to blow the cluster of silver-red pills on the head of the rod by luck, and you can burst out a string of Jiuyang fires, and the other party will be wiped out.

I have the so-called stick in the world, Diao Xiaosi made a lot of determination, looked at a approaching skeleton and shouted: "Dead eunuch, you also want to roast the fire when you come out?"

"Poof, poof, poof......" once, twice, three or four times - Diao Xiaosi used his strength to blow hard, but the fire exorcism stick didn't move, and he didn't even flash a little spark.

"Wouldn't it, even the mallet is playing with Lao Tzu at this time?" Diao Xiaosi seemed to have received a slap on the head.

The great freedom in his dantian is gone, although there is a thick breath in his body that is drumming back and forth, but he does not listen to his own call at all, and this fire exorcism stick has become an ornament in his hand without true qi.

The skeleton eunuch stopped a long way away from Diao Xiaosi, and stared at him blankly with a puzzled look.

"Hell, what the hell is it that Lao Tzu encountered today?" Thinking of the experience of being forcibly "watered", Diao Xiaosi's heart was furious, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he turned around and ran away.

It didn't matter if he raised his legs, a group of skeleton eunuchs actually ran along, and they followed suit.

"You baba, Lao Tzu is neither a sinking fish and a goose, nor a shy flower in the closed moon, what are you doing with Lao Tzu?!" Diao Xiaosi was sad and angry, and risked his life to run outside the cemetery.

The speed of those skeleton eunuchs was not inferior to Diao Xiaosi's, and they gradually merged into two long dragons and ran all the way behind him, with a great tendency to linger to the ends of the world.

At the moment of life and death, of course Diao Xiaosi understood what life was more precious than wealth, and he didn't care about the pile of treasures that were still lost in the cemetery, so he ran out of more than ten miles, running straight out of breath like a cow, and his hands and feet were sore, but he didn't need to look back and saw two long teams of skeletons still following closely from the corner of his eye.

In despair, a rare black shadow swayed in the mountains ahead. Diao Xiaosi didn't care if it was a demon or a human, he tore his throat and shouted in the most heart-rending voice in his life: "Help-"

Only this was a little distracted, and when he lost his center of gravity under his feet, he stumbled, and his body fell out of the ground involuntarily.

Seeing that his body was about to remember the strong dog gnawing mud with a free and graceful curve, Diao Xiaosi suddenly felt his shoulders tighten, and then his body stood back on the ground lightly and steadily.

I heard a loud voice in my ear: "Little brother, don't be afraid. ”

Diao Xiaosi breathed a sigh of relief, and when he stared at it, he saw a burly middle-aged man in black in front of him. He looked like he was in his early thirties, with red hair and a strange appearance, a straight nose and a thick beard, a black sheath and a silver-handled fairy sword diagonally inserted behind his back, and a pair of mangled shoes under his feet.

Somehow, as soon as Diao Xiaosi's eyes came into contact with the eyes of the man in black, he subconsciously jumped away, as if the other party's eyes were shining with a terrifying force, which actually made his heart empty for no reason.

But seeing that the man in black grabbed Diao Xiaosi with his left hand and pulled him behind him, pinching the magic seal with his right hand, the golden light flashed, and there was a faint sound of gold and stone thunder, and a light seal was shot out with a "sigh".

If you look closely, the light seal is made up of thousands of strands of subtle golden rays shaped like runes, intertwined and fused, and together like a thunderous tide, rushing towards the two rows of skeleton eunuchs running in a line.

The man in black did not pause in his right palm, and made two more light marks in one go. I saw that these three light seals were combined in the air, just like the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and the momentum was magnificent.

Diao Xiaosi's heart was agitated when he saw it, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "This big black man actually doesn't use a sacrifice talisman, and he can directly punch out the Xuanmen Law Seal with one palm, could it be that he is the legendary sword immortal who can kill people with a sword for thousands of miles? Lao Tzu is lucky to be home today, and he has met all the dead and demons, and he can also meet an immortal." ”

Although his cultivation is not high, his vision is not bad, and he knows that the black-clothed man has played a Xuanmen authentic law seal. But with such a skill, not to mention Diao Xiaosi doesn't have it, I'm afraid even the dead old man can't reach it.

In the flash of his thoughts, the surging and turbulent three light seals had engulfed the many skeleton eunuchs who had chased after him in the magnificent golden tide.

When the golden light slowly faded, seventy or eighty skeleton eunuchs seemed to have been spelled by immobilization, and they stood in place as if all their souls had been drained, and there was really only one skeleton left.

"Duh!" the man in black shouted in a low voice, his two fingers burst into the void, and the black sheath fairy sword behind him rose up with a sonorous dragon roar, flying and spinning above his head, turning into a ball of silver thunder, and then smashed to the ground with a bang, and suddenly shook the mountains and sand and stones.

The rock, which was as hard as iron, was blasted out of a deep pit with a diameter of more than ten zhang by the silver thunder transformed by the fairy sword, and those skeletons fell into the pit one after another. Immediately after that, pieces of gravel and sand fell like rain and hail, and in the blink of an eye, the huge pit was filled in to cover up.

"Keng!" the fairy sword made a crisp sound, and flew back steadily, falling into the scabbard behind the man in black.

Diao Xiaosi looked at the man in black and cleaned up the skeleton brigade that chased him out of ten miles in a few neat strokes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Didn't you dream, did you? If I have the ability of this big black man, what mausoleum mechanism in the world can stop Lao Tzu, and then I won't let me pick and choose the gold and silver treasures?"

How did the man in black know what kind of dirty thoughts Diao Xiaosi was moving at this time, as soon as he put his shoulder on the young man's shoulder, he had already noticed that there was a strange cold current in his body, which was very unusual, and he couldn't tell its origin for a while with his own experience and knowledge, and saw Diao Xiaosi standing behind him silently and looking stupid, and asked with concern at the moment: "Little brother, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Diao Xiaosi heard this, and hurriedly nodded in response: "I'm chilling, I'm afraid that I have just been poisoned by corpses." ”

"Corpse poison?" The man in black frowned and said to himself: "The cold qi contained in this young man's body is definitely not corpse poison, but rather like some kind of evil demon qi accumulation and agitation. At his age, even a genius would never be able to cultivate such a strong and pure skill. What's more, he clearly doesn't know how to use it. ”

He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the young man next to him muttering as if sleepwalking: "Damn, how good it would be if it was summer, no matter how hot it is, I won't ...... it."

Before he finished speaking, the man had already fallen.
