Bone

Chapter 3

The half-painted "Civil Nine Escapes" remnants on the ground are still there, Tan Fengyue caught a glimpse, but didn't say anything, just glanced at Qin Nianjiu coldly, then left him, and stepped out of the hall first - to deal with it The Rakshasa who was set outside the temple.

"Hey-"

Qin Nianjiu told him not to stop, wondering that he would let him go like this, but also afraid that he would kill his creditor with a knife in his hand, and he would even teach him to die before he could finish his job, so he hurriedly raised his umbrella and followed up.

Outside the main hall, Rakshasa put on bright makeup and was dressed in a clear and bright moonlight. His limbs were twisted and stood stiffly at the door, covered by wisps of mist, like a dancer dancing with clouds under the moon, showing off for no reason. It's kind of weird and poignant.

Unintentionally appreciating this poignant beauty, let alone procrastinating, Tan Fengyue shook out a folding fan overflowing with silver light from her sleeve, flicked it out, and was about to chop it down when she raised her hand, but was suddenly blocked by a black umbrella He scratched his wrist, and heard the person holding the umbrella yell "Wait a minute!"

"Cough-cough-"

Seeing that he really stopped and turned his head to look at himself, Qin Nianjiu coughed a little uncomfortably, found a relatively indefinable excuse, and said with gestures: "Look at the immortal family, Zhu Xiefu If the devil just slaughters like this, it is easy to be infected with resentment, and the gain is not worth the loss... It is better to find a way to resolve his resentment, and settle the cause and effect for him, so that he does not have to be backlashed by resentment. A stroke of merit can be said to be the best of both worlds?"

He had already thought about it, and Tan Fengyue could refute his words with the sentence "I am cultivated enough to not be afraid of resentment". Received, nodded, "Indeed. Tianzun is thoughtful, I am reckless."

He said again: "It's just that this Rakshasa's self-consciousness has been damaged. If he just asks like this, he won't be able to ask anything. I don't know how to find the root of his grievances according to what Tianzun sees?"

Knowing that he gave a fake name but didn't tell the truth, Qin Nianjiu's scalp was numb when he called "Tianzun" in a flat but ironic way. Not to be outdone, he pointed the tip of his umbrella at the oily wax stains all over the floor. Reciprocally throwing back the sarcasm, "I think this trace is strange, maybe it has something to do with Luo Sha privately, why don't the ancestors go along the road with me to find out?"

Tan Fengyue froze without showing any signs of movement, and was obviously disgusted by his "Old Ancestor". When he spoke again, he compromised and changed his name, "Then let's go, Qin Xianjun."

The night is dark and the moon is bright, and the dew and fog are heavy.

One was holding a black umbrella, the other was holding a folding fan. The two walked side by side, followed by a shambling Rakshasa.On Luo Sha's private wrist is a piece of silk silk tied to the soul, and the other end is loosely held in Tan Fengyue's hand.

When Qin Nianjiu just opened his eyes, he saw that the temple was dilapidated. After walking a few steps, he realized that the temple was not only dilapidated, even the path in front of the temple was covered with several inches of weeds. It must have been a long time since no one came Pass.

Even without chasing the wax stain carefully, the weeds in front of me fell down to both sides brightly, branching out a shoulder-width path, all the way pointing to the uninhabited village in the distance.Although it was already late at night, it was normal for it to be quieter, but what appeared in the village was a strange dead silence. There was not a trace of the breath of living things, and there was still a faint red light under the mist—it was extremely eye-catching.

The white mist in the night is so thick that it can't be cleared, it's hard to see the way forward, step by step, the more you can detect the slightest yin energy from light to thick.

Qin Nianjiu tightened his fingers holding the black umbrella, and turned his head to remind Tan Fengyue, but he saw that he had already unfolded the silver fan in his hand and fanned it leisurely on his chest.

Just now he was too busy to stop him, so he didn't look carefully, now that he got closer, he realized that the fan was actually made of a whole piece of silver, and it was forged so thin that it was almost transparent, and the whole body was floating A layer of faint brilliance, followed by his fanning movements turned into a raging wind, and the dense yin energy overflowing all around was completely unable to get close.

... Such a cultivation base is really overbearing.

Adhering to the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, Qin Nianjiu involuntarily swayed his footsteps and walked a little further away from him, for fear that he would see his real body and fight against himself in the darkness.

Tan Fengyue caught his movements from the corner of her eye, and still walked her own way without looking sideways, but the fan was slightly wider, expanding the range that the wind could reach, and said indifferently: " It takes only three moments for the human body to return to the soul, and the body and spirit are still not stable. It is most taboo to bathe in Yin Qi, and it is easy to be disturbed. If you want to take this opportunity to end up in ashes, just to have a good time, I will not stop you. "

Qin Nianjiu stumbled.

This "Chen Wenyu" has a lot of injuries on his body, which are enough to kill a mortal. The "Nine Escapes of Civil Engineering" is also something that ordinary casual practitioners can draw. Although there are two obvious flaws, it is not impossible to explain the past... ...He guessed that this person could see something wrong with him, but he didn't expect that he could see it so clearly. He couldn't help being terrified for a moment, and the black umbrella in his hand suddenly filled with a murderous aura, "You..."

Sensing the sudden murderous aura on his body, Tan Fengyue turned her head to look at him, and said frankly and sincerely: "One thing more is worse than one thing less. You can't beat me, so let's rest."

"..." We weighed a few times in his heart, and realized that he might really not be able to fight, Qin Nianjiu gritted his teeth, and rested his thoughts, "That's really... Thank you, Mr. Tan Xianjun, for your mercy?"

Tan Fengyue had some relief in her eyes, and nodded, "It's good to be humane and polite."

Qin Nianjiu: "..."

After returning to the soul for only three moments, the body and spirit are indeed still unstable. Qin Nianjiu was not afraid of the dark energy, but was afraid that he would be driven out of his body by the anger. He simply turned his head and took two steps back to check the bound Rakshasa private.

Different from the two, Luo Shasi, who was bathed in Yin Qi, seemed to be swimming in the living water. The whole ghost became much more energetic, and even his pale cheeks were bright red, floating under the thick rouge. .

Sensing someone approaching, she clicked her head from right to left, grinned open her "mouth" painted with red lipstick, her empty eye sockets stuck firmly to Qin Nianjiu's body, and whispered: "Brother Wen, Brother Wen Yu ...you are finally here..."

Perhaps after staying in the boundary for a long time, Qin Nianjiu felt no fear of ghosts, so he generously touched the conspicuous strangle marks on her neck, gestured at the angle of the strangles from front to back, and stretched out his hand to touch the scars on her neck. She flickered before her eyes, seeing that she really couldn't see anything, so she lifted her wrist and glanced at her palm.

Unable to hear a response, Luosha seemed a little anxious in private, his bright red "mouth" grinned even further, but his black eyebrows were curled down, showing a forced smile, "...how good is this place?" Hei...I can't even see you...You, you talk to me...Is, is it you?...Is it you?!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her voice gradually became louder, making Qin Nianjiu's ears hurt.He put down her hand and smiled, "Well, it's me."

The voice was very soft and slow, not to coax, but to lie.

Luo Sha's two curved eyebrows no longer curled down, and he smiled contentedly, "...It's good that you are here..."

He tilted his head to discuss with him again, "... Is it okay for my brother to be a mermaid?"

She said this twice, and realized that it might have something to do with her grievances, Qin Nianjiu followed the temptation, "That's good, but you have to tell me first, what kind of mermaid, or something from a mermaid?"

Luo Sha's private smile was a bit too much, the "corners of his mouth" almost grinned to the ears, "Brother Wen Yu, don't you know, it's—"

Tan Fengyue, who was walking in front, paused, stood on the spot, and answered for her, "It's a lantern."

"Ah?" Qin Nianjiu turned to look at him in confusion, "How do you know—"

The voice cut off halfway.

The folding fan, which can divert yin energy, also drove away the dense fog, and the village under the moon was brightly lit with candles, almost illuminating a small piece of the night sky.

On the boundary marker at the entrance of the village, under the dead old trees, and in the path paved with bluestones, there are full of lanterns and candles.

- A festive candle made of people.

Men, women, old and young, there are dozens of people in sight, all naked, with a thick layer of dark yellow or milky white wax on their skin, their eyes are wide open, their faces are distorted and frightened, The knotted long hair is coiled on the top of the head like a candle wick, burning clusters of "candles".

Their limbs were dismantled and bent into various tricks.Some people are kneeling and kneeling, with their elbows folded and raised high, they are rabbits; Under the body is a lotus...

After being reincarnated for only three quarters, strange things happened one after another, Qin Nianjiu said with a stiff smile, "Hey, this Rakshasa... among other things, his skills are quite clever."

Tan Fengyue turned Zhang Jun's face coldly, but she was not touched by the tragic scene, but thought of the wax on someone's body that she had touched just now, and her whole body exuded an aura of not wanting to go back from the inside out.

Although Luo Shasi couldn't see things, he seemed to feel the warmth of the fire, and he smiled very touchingly. He staggered past the two and walked forward, his wide sleeves stained with oil and wax were blown up by the wind, like a fluttering bird. fire moth.

Open flames belong to yang, so they cannot burn yin things, she didn't know this, she just stood beside Ren Zhu, foolishly grabbing the warm flame with her hands, over and over again.

Fishing and fishing, the smile on her face gradually faded, and gradually replaced with a viciousness that seemed to be able to gouge out life. She grabbed the wick made of human hair and yanked it back and forth, and said sharply: "...why do you still look at it?" I don’t see it! Why can’t I still see it!!”

Her strength was so great that she almost pulled the man's head off.

Qin Nianjiu couldn't bear to see this move even if it was so unreasonable. He stepped forward and skillfully picked Luo Shasi's hand away with the tip of his umbrella. He flexed or flipped the five fingers of his right hand, and pinched out a commanding spirit to fix his soul. The tactic, swung it in front of Luo Sha's private forehead.

This time, the remnants of "Chen Wenyu" did not stop him, the seal fell, and twelve beams of golden light broke through the ground in a straight line, penetrating Luo Shaxi's body from all directions, sealing her five senses, and fixing her in place. Even the sleeves and hair that were lifted by the wind were stuck in the air.

It turned out that it couldn't be killed or beaten, but it could still be fixed.Qin Nianjiu heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that there was indeed something hidden in it.He turned his head to look at Tan Fengyue, raised his finger and pointed at the human lamp, "Let's... check?"

Although Tan Fengyue still had a cold face, but probably because of the sense of responsibility of "caring for the common people", she closed her fan without any objection, and bent over to explore the rabbit-man lamp on the ground.

Seeing his swift movements, Qin Nianjiu didn't procrastinate, and checked the nearest fishman lamp.

This man's lamp is stained with ghostly spirit, it is not rotten or broken, it must have been pulled out of the bone, and it is propped limply on the dead branch.The firelight was bright enough to see that its exposed skin was scattered with curved wounds, like fish scales; the mouth was stretched so huge that it almost took up half of the face, revealing two rows of big yellow and black teeth. The eyelids were also cut off, and the two gray and black eyes were bulging outwards, and a very deep rough wound stretched across the neck, and it was barely recognizable that he was a middle-aged man.

Qin Nianjiu looked at this human lamp and didn't know whether to feel more terrifying or more disgusting.

After thinking a few words, "Don't blame anyone", he clasped his hands together, offended Rendeng, and then directly scraped off the wax layer on Rendeng's eyeballs.

He originally thought that the eyeballs of this human lamp were gray and white because they were covered with oil wax, but after a closer look, he found that the strange gray eyes were floating from the inside of the eyeballs, in the form of strands of flocculent, almost covering the entire eyeball. The eyeballs seemed to be stuffed into a cloud.

"...Blind?" He frowned more tightly, and said to himself, then carefully opened the palm of the human lamp attached to his side, carefully removed the wax stains on it, and looked at it carefully. .

The people in this village probably make a living by farming. The palm is very thick, the palm lines are messy, the skin is rough, and there is a thick layer of calluses. In addition to some old scars, there are many newer small abrasions and cuts on it. The scars were mainly distributed on the pulp of the fingers, followed by the mound of the palm, and the center of the palm again. According to the degree of healing, it should have been caused within one or two months before death.

After people are blind, they like to use their hands to detect and touch things, and the most vulnerable place is the palm, he recalled that he had just seen Luo Shasi's hands just now, and he murmured: "They are all newly blind? "

Holding Rendeng's palm, he turned his head and wanted to call Tan Fengyue, but found that he had gone far away at some point, so he amplified his voice and shouted: "Tan Xianjun! Did you find anything?"

"En." Tan Fengyue frowned in response.He pulled a piece of cloth from nowhere and put it in his arms, and walked over slowly, "They all died half a month ago, and they were blind at the same time about two months ago, maybe they were under some kind of spell."

"The shape, size, color, and depth of the white shadows in the eyes are all exactly the same," he approached Qin Nianjiu, showing the things in his arms, "I took them off and compared them one by one, you see."

Qin Nianjiu: "..."
