Gu Beilin was not sure what it was like. He held the sword and did not dare to act rashly.
The black shadow was somewhat transparent under the sunlight, and Gu Beilin was completely sure that it was neither a human being nor a corpse.
Waiting like this was not an option. Gu Beilin took a breath and thought that if he stretched out his head, it would be a knife, and if he retracted his head, it would be a knife. It would be better to fight quickly. He still had to find his uncle.
Just when Yu Shen was about to encounter the black shadow, he suddenly started to move, as if he was jumping up to hide.
But Gu Beilin made a move and refused to let him go. He turned the sword and hit him directly on the back. Seeing that he couldn't hide, the black shadow turned around and knelt down to beg for mercy: "It's me! It's me. ! Don’t chop! It’s me, I just changed my face!”
Gu Beilin: "......"
The edge of his sword was only a tenth of a centimeter away from the old box bone. It can only be said that he asked for it in time.
If it's too late, your fate in this life will be over.
Gu Beilin withdrew his sword coldly and disgustedly: "Why have you become so ugly?"
Old Box Bone: "...Actually, this is my original appearance. The previous one was formed after staying in a box for a long time."
The body of Jiu Hegu seemed to be more substantial, no longer a completely transparent soul body. He touched his face. It had been a long time since he had touched his body, and he was a little reluctant to leave it.
The more Gu Beilin looked at him, the uglier he became, but he still had to use him. He asked, "How much do you know about this place?"
"I don't know." Jiu Hegu answered honestly. He only knew the rules of Linbai Domain. Regarding the tasks of the participants, they had no idea.
"Don't know at all?" Gu Beilin crossed his hands: "Then why are you following me?"
Hearing Gu Beilin's disgust, Jiu Hegu was a little sad: "Don't say that, I am going to follow you anyway. Before you leave the threshold formation of Lin Bai Domain, I have to be responsible for following you. Although I I don’t know the specific operations of the task, but I can tell you some rules that I know.”
Gu Beilin was not moved at all: "The Book of Heaven told me not to believe information from other unknown sources, otherwise I will bear the consequences."
Old Hegu said anxiously: "How could I be from an unknown source! I am the Old Hegu you bought! You have always believed in me before, didn't there be nothing wrong with me?"
Gu Beilin hummed and said nothing, but did not stop Old Box Bone from following him. He walked into a room first, looked around, and asked, "Based on your intuition, where should you go first?"
"Me?" Jiu Hegu followed Gu Beilin. He looked at the interior of the room: "I think we should go to the ancestral hall first. Many important secrets of our human race are there. If you are newlyweds, a big family like this , the head of the family and the eldest son and uncle will go to the ancestral hall to enter the family tree of the bride who has just passed away."
"If you want to look for clues, the second place is the master's bedroom, and then the study room."
Gu Beilin didn't say anything. He stared at the door number of the main hall, thinking about something.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "This is not like a wedding."
Jiu Hegu showed his approval, but he frowned and asked, "But isn't the title of the mission you are holding some sort of wedding?"
Gu Beilin wanted to say that it might not be done here, but he intuitively couldn't tell the old box bone much because he didn't fully trust it yet.
Gu Beilin held his sword and did not answer the old box bone. He looked at the main hall again and said, "Let's go and visit the ancestral hall you mentioned."
There are no living animals or different scenes along the way. All the furnishings here are very regular, without any deviation. It doesn't look like a place where people live at all. It is just a model created by Lin Baiyu.
The interior of the ancestral hall is also normal.
There is a tablet and incense in the middle, and the wooden extension on the top winds all the way to the back of the screen.
Gu Beilin tapped the memorial tablet of an ancestor of the family with his sword, and it made a wooden sound.
Yushen shook with extreme displeasure. The aura of the sword was more inclined to the righteousness of heaven. Yushen disliked this kind of aura coming from the underworld.
Gu Beilin turned around, but the old box bones were gone.
When I looked up, I realized that this idiot had actually gone to sit on the ancestral tablet at the top of the house.
Gu Beilin: "...Are you sick? Why are you sitting on the memorial tablet of an old ghost like this who smells like an underworld person at first glance?"
Old Box Bone: "..." This little pervert really created a feud as soon as he opened his mouth.
Old Box Bone swung his legs. He was now semi-physical and was not afraid of scattering the pile of tablets: "No one will do this for me when I die. I'll feel what's wrong. Don't worry, it won't break. "
Gu Beilin laughed coldly, very evilly and wildly: "Don't come in contact with me within ten meters."
Jiu Hegu had already guessed his reaction, so he wasn't surprised.
I don't know if he didn't find anything after walking for a long time. Old Box Bone was a little slack. He actually wanted to chat with Gu Beilin: "Hey, why did you come to this ghost place? I see that you look rich and noble. You don’t look like someone who is greedy for treasures, what are you doing here?”
Gu Beilin was looking around and didn't want to tell him too much, so he said perfunctorily: "Experience."
Jiu Hegu gave him a thumbs up when he heard this: "He is a ruthless man, come here for experience."
Old Box Bone didn't know what was going on, and he suddenly became sad. He said, "Although I've been dead for a long time, I still remember clearly the days when I was a human being. I came to this hellish place to I’m exchanging treasures for money to treat my mother’s illness.”
Jiu Hegu said: "I have also thought of other ways, but my mother's illness is too serious and she would not come here unless she had to." He lowered his head and played with his hands, and continued: "When I leave, My mother thought I was working in a tavern as usual, so I lied to her. I gave all my savings to the Aunt Wang next door and asked her to help me take care of my mother. I went out in the morning and didn't come back at night. My mother must have been particularly worried. "
Jiu Hegu laughed to himself: "Who would have thought that after coming here, the first scene would be here, and I would never be able to go back and see her again for hundreds of years."
Jiu Hegu seemed to be very remorseful, and his hoarse voice could be heard choking: "I'm so shameless."
Gu Beilin stopped, his fingertips paused, and he turned slightly sideways, not knowing what to say.
Old Box Bone didn't want him to comfort him either.
Maybe he had been lonely for hundreds of years. He had been holding these words in his heart for too long and just wanted to say them out.
It doesn't matter whether you can get a response or comfort.
In fact, it doesn't make much sense whether or not to dissuade this kind of thing. It's all dust and old valleys of history, and it only survives to this day with a touch of obsession.
Gu Beilin felt that instead of saying something, it would be better to do something practical, such as pulling the old box bones out of memories and thinking about how they should get through this situation now.
People, always have to look forward.
But the premise is that the old box bones still have humanity.
In fact, this suspicion has always been buried in Gu Beilin's heart, and it has always made him afraid to completely trust Jiu Hegu.
The old box bone has not been human for so long. How much humanity does it still retain in its soul?
In other words, how many points did Lin Baiyu have left for him?
He just asked it where it should go first as a test. He wanted to see what the old box bone would choose and where it would take him.
Now it seems that it has no purpose.
Gu Beilin curled his lips, but he didn't know whether he really didn't have it or was pretending not to have it.
He admits that he is suspicious and sensitive, but this is just right in Linbai Domain.
"I said... um!" The voice suddenly stopped.
Gu Beilin quickly turned around, but there was still the figure of Old Box Bone behind him.
