"Woo!"
The woman I stepped on suddenly began to struggle wildly.
"Xiaorou, don't move!" the young man shouted hurriedly.
He suddenly slapped himself hard, forced himself to calm down, and confirmed again with a trembling voice, "You...you mean, all my family members were...dead long before me?"
Every word he spoke seemed to use all his strength.
"What do you think?" I asked without answering.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "I should have known it a long time ago, I should have known it a long time ago, but unfortunately I... always have a chance, thinking what if..."
He laughed, hit his head on the ground, and cried.
"I don't have time to listen to you crying and moaning here." I said coldly.
The young man raised his head, slapped himself hard again, and begged while holding back his tears, "You...can you let go of my sister first? I'll do whatever you want."
"Let you go?" I said expressionlessly, "That depends on whether you are of any use."
The young man raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and said hurriedly, "My name is Ding Jian, and this is my sister Ding Rou. We are both from the Ding family in Quanzhou."
"Continue." I said coldly.
"Yes, one late night five years ago, I was sleeping, and I was in a daze..." He glanced at me, and seeing that I didn't interrupt him, he continued.
"I felt like there was someone beside the bed. I was startled and woke up suddenly."
"As a result, I found that I couldn't move my hands and feet, and I couldn't even make a sound. I looked around again and suddenly saw someone sitting on the chair next to me."
"If you look carefully, it's actually my sister. She...she's sitting there with her eyes wide open. Only her eyeballs are turning around in fear, as if she can't move like me."
"I didn't know what was happening, but suddenly I saw my sister's eyes looking directly behind me. I suddenly realized that there should be something behind me that I couldn't see."
Ding Jian's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly, "The more I couldn't see, the more scared I became, until I couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly I heard someone laughing."
"Then a person appeared in front of me. This person was wearing an evil ghost mask, only a pair of eyes were exposed, shining in the dark... in the dark."
"I was shocked and frightened. I tried desperately to get up, but I couldn't move. The man suddenly walked up to my sister and put a black snake as thick as a chopstick into my sister's collar."
Ding Jian gritted his teeth and said, "When I saw him torturing my sister, I wanted to bite him to death, but I couldn't move, so I could only watch."
"Your snake swam around my sister's body, then suddenly swam out again and got into my sister's mouth..."
Ding Jian's teeth chattered. "The man sat watching and chuckled a few times. He suddenly threw another snake at me. I watched the snake get into my mouth. , and soon I won’t know anything anymore.”
"When I woke up again, we were already in this cave. The two of us were chained. An extremely ugly old man came over and asked us brothers and sisters to raise spiritual fish for them."
"If we don't agree, we will kill our entire Ding family, leaving no chickens or dogs behind."
"I know that since the other party can capture us brothers and sisters, they will definitely be able to do this. I can only agree to them, but I want to know whether my family is really safe."
"The next day, the old man threw a box to us. When we opened it, we found a severed hand with a ring on it. It belonged to my cousin...
"The old man said that if we keep talking nonsense, what we deliver next time will not be as simple as a hand. We really have no choice but to agree to them."
"This is your Ding family's ancestral method of nourishing souls?" I glanced at the white skeletons all over the ground.
"No, no, no, it's not!" Ding Jian said hurriedly, "Our Ding family has passed down the method of nourishing souls from generation to generation, how could it be such a magic? In fact, we, brother and sister, only played half of the role."
"What do you mean?" I asked him.
"When we came, the cave was already covered with white bones, and there was strong resentment from the ground steaming up and into the pool. This method of nourishing spirits is very similar to the white bones method." Ding Jian road.
"What's that?" I asked.
"I only heard my grandfather mention this White Bone Method. It is also a method of nourishing spirits, but it cultivates the yin and evil energy, so it is called a Yin method." Ding Jian said, "There are yin and yang in nourishing spirits. Point, our Ding family’s is Yangfa.”
"Although this Yin method raises the evil spirit, it is different from raising imps. It raises living creatures." Probably because he was afraid that I would be confused, he explained again.
I let him continue.
"The other party captured us brother and sister and actually wanted us to combine Yin and Yang methods to raise a kind of spiritual fish." Ding Jian said.
"Our first reaction at the time was, it's impossible! How could the Yin and Yang methods be combined, and what kind of monster would be the thing raised like this?"
"But the old man said that if we can't do it, we will be chopped into pieces and fed to the fish, and the entire Ding family will be buried with us!"
"The two of us had no choice but to agree to give it a try, and the old man taught us the Bone Technique."
"It turns out that this old man is the inheritor of the Yin method of nourishing spirits. He taught us the Yin method, and asked us to teach him the Yang method. The three of us studied together how to combine the Yin and Yang methods."
"After about half a year of this, we really came up with a solution, but there is a big difficulty here, that is how to find a place where strong resentment is steaming upward."
"If it's just the Yin Qi transpiration, it's easy to deal with. You can find the Yin Gathering Pond or the Corpse Gathering Place, but it's not easy to find a place where a lot of resentment can be gathered."
"And what's even more troublesome is that this place needs to be both full of resentment and popular, that is, there is yang within yin, and yin within yang. Where can I find such a special place?"
"But the old man said that this is easy to handle, so we don't have to worry about it. Sure enough, after we rebuilt the bone cave, we found that there was strong resentment and abundant popularity steaming up from the ground. We don't know how they did it. of."
"Deployment of the bone cave requires a large number of bones. We originally proposed using animal bones. Although the effect was slightly worse, it was not much worse, but the old man rejected it directly."
"The bones here are all human bones, and...and many of them were brought in alive, leaving only a pile of skeletons..."
