Chapter 29: Roots

I hurriedly ran over, and in the bushes at the foot of the boulder, I saw a stone cave about a meter high, and the shrubs at the entrance of the cave were some crushed and some were crushed, and the hole was exposed.

Walking to the entrance of the cave, I can feel the wind coming from inside, which is a little cold, and the cry of rhubarb is transmitted in, and I can faintly hear the echo, thinking that the inside of this cave should be very large.

I looked closely at the bushes, there were some black trees on them, and the black paint was on the outside of the coffin lid, and looking at the inverted direction and shape of the bushes, it looked like the coffin lid had slipped in from here.

If there is no accident, after the corpse of the grandfather, he hid in this cave.

It was daytime, and he could only hide in the shade.

Seeing that I had noticed the hole, Rhubarb stopped screaming and walked up to me and rubbed his head against my knee.

"The old man is in there, isn't he?" I crouched down and touched it.

Rhubarb snorted twice, I snorted, and said with some sadness: "The old man has changed his body, the corpse is controlled by other things, and he no longer knows us, what we have to do is to kill the things in his body and snatch grandpa's body back, understand?"

Rhubarb nodded, as if he understood it completely.

I put down my bag, took out the peachwood sword from it, and slowly walked inside, grandpa's corpse did not absorb the cat's spirituality, although it was controlled by a ghoul, but theoretically it should not be very difficult to do, after all, this ghoul is still in its infancy.

I gently burrowed into the cave, it was a downward hole, it was very dark inside, but it was not uncomfortable for me, I gained the night vision of a cat, and I could see clearly with a little light.

The entrance of the cave is not big, but the inside is not small, relying on the mountain, there are two or three hundred square meters in size, and the height is also seven or eight meters high.

The first time I found the coffin lid, it was placed under the stone staircase, and the surrounding situation was unobstructed, and I didn't find my grandfather.

There was another stone cave in the northeast corner of the cave, and I hurried over it.

This cave is very narrow, less than a meter wide and less than a meter high, and you can only squat to enter it.

It's a little dark inside, but there is astigmatism, I can still see clearly, this stone cave is estimated to be seven or eight meters deep, and rhubarb may be night blind.

I pulled out a flashlight and shone the light in, because even I couldn't see clearly after passing through the corridor.

"Rhubarb, you're waiting for me outside. I turned to Rhubarb and said.

Rhubarb didn't listen to me this time, and went straight into the stone cave, extremely fast.

"Hey!" I hurriedly chased after him, not knowing what the rhubarb was up to.

Passing through the road, there is a natural small stone room inside, strange stones stand in a forest, there are a lot of stalagmites and some bats hanging on it, there is no trace of human activity, not big, only twenty or thirty square meters.

"Rhubarb!" I whispered, still stirring up a burst of echoes, this place is so big, not only did I not see my grandfather, but even the rhubarb that had just come in was gone.

"Rhubarb!" I shouted again, and began to look for other passages, but I was disappointed.

I frowned, this is strange, I searched all the strange rocks behind them, and found nothing.

"Rhubarb!" I yelled, a little anxious, even if something happened, it would scream, right?

The only thing that responded to me was the thick echo, which made me very overwhelmed, and as far as I knew, this kind of thing would not happen.

The only exit is where I entered, even if the rhubarb has wings, it can't fly away, and this is not a thousand-year-old tomb, so there will be no tomb mechanism at all, right?

After looking back and forth for more than ten minutes, I sat on the ground helplessly, this kind of thing is really more unbelievable than hell.

Grandpa's body is not in this to explain, but how did this living dog that just came in disappear out of thin air?

After thinking about it for a while, I stood up again and searched carefully a few times, but I still found nothing.

There is a reason for everything, this is the cognition that I have always insisted on, but now I feel that I have even begun to subvert this cognition, what is wrong?

There are no mechanisms, no exits, no bunkers to hide, there is nothing in this small broken stone room, where can Rhubarb go? Even if he is dead, there should be bones, right?

I knocked on my head and looked at the time, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and I had been in this cave for more than two hours.

After one last confirmation, I walked out of the stone chamber through the exit, and then searched around the large cave outside, but found no other passage.

"Rhubarb~~~" I yelled hysterically, grandpa is gone, and only rhubarb is with me, but now rhubarb has disappeared out of thin air.

The echo of the hollow echoed through the cave, and I reluctantly walked to the lid at the entrance of the cave and sat down on the lid of the coffin, making sure that this was not a supernatural event, it was a fucking supernatural event.

The lid of the coffin had slid down, and there were rocks underneath, unstable, and when I was sitting, it suddenly slipped again, almost knocking me to the ground, I quickly stood up, looked at the dark coffin lid outside, and suddenly felt a little strange.

If the ghoul controlled Grandpa's body to resist the lid of the coffin, why did it put the lid here?

I bent down and jerked the lid upside down, revealing the unpainted side inside.

There are words on it, red letters: Those who follow me are also following fate.

And behind these words, there are a few words: "The farther away from the village, the better." ”

I frowned and stared at the words, not knowing what they meant.

The words in the front are not grandfather's handwriting, and the one in the back that tells me to leave the village is grandfather's familiar handwriting.

I touched the red color with my hand, the inside of the cave was cold and damp, and the handwriting was not dry.

I put it on my nose and smelled it, it was not red paint, but blood.

The words were written on the inside of the coffin, and it must have been the blood of the grandfather.

But it's been two days since Grandpa died, and he spent the night in the hospital's morgue, and the blood has already coagulated, can this ghoul still be able to invigorate blood and remove stasis?

Those who follow me are also following fate......

I'm the one who follows it, and I'm following fate now?

"Fate......" I muttered to myself, and suddenly the letter that my grandfather had placed in my pillow rang out.

In my heart, I said that ghoul was a hurdle that I couldn't get around in my life, and he was my old enemy.

I now feel fear of this old enemy, because it is elusive, and I can't understand any random behavior.

I felt like I wasn't on the same level as this ghoul, and it was using its abilities to inflict tricks on me.

In fact, I know very well in my heart that even if I find my grandfather and kill him, he will not die.

But now I can't even find it, and not only that, but the rhubarb has disappeared without a trace under my nose.

The sky gradually darkened, I was a little depressed, and even a little self-defeating, in front of such an unknown and powerful opponent, I didn't seem to have the capital to fight against him.

My family is here, I didn't leave, I was waiting for it to get dark, maybe when it gets dark, it will come out on its own.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Ten o'clock.

The weather was fine tonight, and the moonlight shone on the entrance of the cave, allowing me to see very clearly, and I sat on the lid of the coffin, staring blankly in front of me, waiting for it to appear.

At eleven o'clock, it still did not appear, but the bats in the cave began to fly out in groups, and they were about to go out to feed.

At one o'clock, when the hour had passed, I stood up and roared angrily, "Since you are an old enemy, you come out, and don't hide like a shrunken turtle." ”

The only echoes that respond to me are my own voices.

A snake crawled over slowly, hissing and having black and white knots on its body, which was highly poisonous at first glance.

But the snake didn't seem to want to attack me, and my mahogany sword was picked up and thrown somewhere else, and it seemed to know that I was not easy to mess with, and perhaps not hungry, so it slipped away.

After sitting in the cave all night, the ghoul still didn't show up, and I was already feeling exhausted.

The morning sun shone through the hole and felt a little comfortable, so I lifted my spirits and went into the small stone chamber inside to look for it again.

Nothing.

I knew it would be useless for me to wait any longer, and my grandfather said in the letter that it would definitely come to me, so I would wait for it to come to me.

Like my grandfather, I believe in fate, and I will definitely appear at the right time, and I can't force it.

"Qin Yi Soul!"

"Qin Yi Soul!"

There was a call from outside the entrance of the cave, and it seemed to be Du Zhiye.

I got out of the cave, I watched the rising sun, and a new day began.

"Qin Yisoul?" Du Zhiye was not far from me, she was still wearing yesterday's clothes, walking on this dew-covered grave mountain, the ankles that were not covered by pants, had been cut by the thorns on the mountain, and her face looked even more anxious.
