"You came……"
Each syllable does not sound like it is produced by a human mouth, but rather like it is produced by the knocking of some kind of bones. Broken and hollow sounds interspersed in the sky above the mass graves on the western slope.
"Meow~~~"
The green-eyed black cat flicked its tail, and the four paws that were originally walking in cat steps stopped. She tilted her head and made a meow like a cat in response to the mutton mound not far away.
The red silk thread swayed for a while.
Countless white hand bones emerged from the grave, densely packed like large and small ants scattered from an ant nest.
There is half a broken tombstone. The writing on it has long been worn and cannot be read clearly. Only the word "Zhang" can be vaguely seen. And those countless hand bones gathered in front of this tombstone as if they had been agreed in advance.
Slowly, the outline of a person is formed.
boom! A group of faint green will-o'-the-wisps burned in the eye sockets made of finger bones, and the dark green color smudged out, outlining the fuzzy facial features where the face should be.
The knuckles of the fingers were tapping against each other, making a tooth-piercing sound:
"Hand over the things... hand over... come..."
Meow——
With a long roar, the black cat demon that had caused trouble many times in Qingtian County appeared again in this world.
The sharp claws popped out, and every sharp tooth in the wide-open mouth glowed with an icy cold light. The black air exhaled from his mouth was filled with a fishy stench, and the grass beside him withered in an instant.
Like the tail of a whip flicking hard, the bluestone next to it was smashed into powder, raising up billowing smoke.
Click, click, click.
Spikes as sharp as knives grew out of the hands made of white bones.
"kill!"
The skeleton man bowed his body and rushed forward suddenly. Like an arrow, accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, it rushed towards the direction of the cat demon.
Meow!
The cat demon raised its claws and slapped it, and the rising black demonic energy was like the hardest protection, preventing those seemingly sharp bone spurs from penetrating in anyway.
The claw that fell smashed half of the skeleton man's body into irregularly sized bone fragments, which were scattered and rolled away by the wind.
Meow~ (That’s it?)
The cat demon raised its right paw, stretched out its scarlet tongue and licked the fur of its right paw.
Click click click. The bones that rolled around rolled back again, forming a chaotic white bone mass in front of the tombstone. The distortion changed for a while, and gradually turned into a vague animal shape with all four limbs on the ground.
If you don't look at the color and details, the general shape is exactly the same as the black cat demon.
Meow! (Fake!)
The cat demon jumped up high, and its two black cat claws drew two bright arcs, tearing away towards the bone beast that had just formed its shape.
With two bangs, two vertical and horizontal cracks burst from the back of the white bone beast. Before it could even raise its head and let out a roar, it was struck by an oncoming tail whip.
The newly formed white bone beast was once again beaten to scatter.
The cat demon fell lightly. She raised her proud head and glanced around with her green eyes. The black tail whip was still sweeping back and forth on the ground.
This time, the pile of bones did not slowly gather together like before, but slowly drilled down and disappeared under the cover of yellow soil.
Meow?
The cat demon turned her head around in confusion, her emerald-green eyes filled with doubts, and the words on the half of the tombstone closest to her slowly seeped out with blood. But as a cat demon who had just transformed, her intelligence was limited, so she didn't notice any abnormalities.
At this moment, the red silk thread that was still hanging around her neck even after the cat demon grew bigger suddenly tightened, and then a huge force came and pulled the black cat demon up.
At the same time, a sharp bone spur as long as an arm or as big as a fist emerged from under the loess where the cat demon was.
This bone spur is different from the others. It has a dark green, almost black color on it. The bone spurs did not completely pierce into the cat demon's body, but just the point where the front spikes connected with the cat demon's abdomen easily cut through the black demonic aura, creating a slit in the cat demon's flesh. Huge bloody mouth.
If the red silk thread hadn't suddenly lifted the cat demon up, the cat demon would have been pierced by that special bone spur.
"I'm...angry...with...someone..."
The black cat demon was lifted up by the red silk thread, became smaller while spinning, and flew into Xia Zhichan's arms.
When it fell back into Xia Zhichan's arms, it was already a black kitten the size of a palm. She sobbed a few times, as if she was complaining to Xia Zhichan or expressing her grievances.
Turning his hand, he put the kitten back into his left cuff.
"Hand over the things...hand them over..."
The white skeleton man emerged from the soil again, his dark green eyes dancing with will-o'-the-wisps, his body stiff, and the bones all over his body were still squirming, like a pile of maggots piled together.
Xia Zhichan shook his head and brought up a gust of wind with a light wave of his right hand.
boom! The white bones turned into bone fragments all over the sky. Only a little bit of dark green did not dissipate. Instead, it adhered to the largest bone fragment and escaped into the ground again.
"Aren't you planning to come out yet?"
Xia Zhichan shook his sleeves and robe, and the action of directly smashing the bones with the strong wind just now was as easy and free as dust was dusted off.
Bang bang bang. Following several muffled sounds, another white skeleton crawled out from under the ground. They were assembled into skeletons again as before. Each skeleton man's eyes were swaying with green flames.
"Hand... out... Immortal..."
"You want to say that if you hand over that thing, you can spare my life, don't you?"
Xia Zhichan chuckled:
"Are you kidding..."
In the middle of the night, the waning moon on the sky shed its silvery white light. The light was like a thin veil, covering everyone's eyes.
…
The east valley is brightly lit.
A few government officials just held torches for lighting, and then looked at the people of Qingtian County gathered in the middle of the valley with eyes as if they had seen ghosts.
The people all had smiles on their faces, looking around at the dark valleys and cliffs with nothing there, and kept praising in their mouths:
"Hey, look, there's a monkey show!"
"Hey, there's a big opera singer here."
"Give me a bunch of candied haws... um, it's so sweet."
"Haha, whose little lady is so beautiful..."
All in all, it's nonsense, no matter what you say. You know, there isn't even a good-looking flower here, not to mention anything that looks like a monkey or a circus.
Some government officials couldn't bear it anymore and ran over to quietly ask Guo Zida, the magistrate of Qingtian County, if all these people were possessed by evil spirits and why were they talking nonsense about watching a big show?
"It's okay, I just suffered some harmless illusions. Let's wait until tonight..."
Although the yamen servant was confused, he could only act as ordered.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a government servant ran over and crawled over. He knelt down and sat on the ground, his voice cracking:
"Sir! It's not good, there seems to be a fire over there in the county town. I can't see clearly, I just see red light all over the sky..."
"Sir, I would like to go back and have a look..."
"No!"
Guo Zida shouted loudly. He lowered his head and hesitated for a while. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he slapped his hand at the government servant who just came to report the news.
There was a crackle and thunder.
The government servant who was kneeling on the ground was struck by a sudden thunderbolt from his palm and turned into a ball of black mist. When the black mist dissipated, only a white corpse remained where the government servant had been kneeling.
The corpse shattered into pieces, and where Guo Zida didn't see it, there was a little dark green stuff in the bone marrow that fell into the soil with the wind and disappeared.
"Sure enough, fortunately, Xia Lingguan left this thunder in his palm for me when he left, just because he was afraid that the evil spirits would take the opportunity to deceive the people."
Guo Zida opened the palm of his hand and drew a strange talisman in pale golden handwriting. In the talisman seal, you can vaguely see a few tiny silver-white lines intersecting between them.
"Xia Lingguan said that if the monster sees the light of blood and sucks people's souls, it means that the Great Luo Immortal has come, and everyone can only scratch their heads in worry and be at a loss."
It was for this reason that Xia Zhichan ordered Guo Zida to drive all the people in Qingtian County out of the city and take refuge in the east valley before midnight.
"All government officers, listen, anyone who breaks into the valley without permission or intends to leave can be killed on the spot! No matter who it is, even this officer is no exception!"
Guo Zida's eyes turned cold, his heart trembled, and he drew the sword from his waist out of its scabbard. The cold sword blade reflected the cold eyes. He sternly scolded all the government officials, and his voice echoed throughout the East Valley.
"As you command!"
The yamen servants did not dare to neglect. They each drew their swords out of their sheaths and answered in unison.
…
The wind passed through the body made of white bones and made a whining sound.
Skeleton men stood up from the ground one after another, gradually gathering into an undead army. They held up the long knives made of white bones in their hands, opened their mouths wide, and made a tooth-piercing sound of bone friction:
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Taking neat steps, they looked like a well-trained regular army. The swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row are approaching, the spearmen in the back row hold their spears high, and the archer in the back has already made a move to draw the bowstring.
One hundred white bone demons, even two to three thousand soldiers in the ordinary army, cannot resist them.
But as the saying goes, add salt to the tofu - one thing will be reduced.
Xia Zhichan's expression remained unchanged. He first shook the left sleeve of his robe, and a faint meow came from inside. He shook his head and shook the right sleeve of his robe, but there was no movement inside:
"I forgot……"
Xia Zhichan held his forehead and smiled. He found that he was a little forgetful. Some things are not commonly used and are gradually forgotten over time.
He stretched out his right hand, pinched his middle finger with his thumb, and then reached out and flicked the golden crown above his head. The ancients had a saying of popping the crown to celebrate, which is an action that expresses joy.
There was a buzzing sound, and a golden halo visible to the naked eye emerged from around Xia Zhichan. Then it slowly spreads around while rotating.
Puff puff, the skeleton soldiers who originally looked extremely powerful and fierce were like thin ice directly illuminated by the scorching sun under that golden halo, and they dissipated almost instantly.
It dissipates directly without even a little bit of bone powder and bone fragments.
Xia Zhichan waved his sleeves, and a fierce whirlwind suddenly blew in the originally silent wilderness. He kept looking at the huge graves around him and walked forward step by step.
"Aren't you going to come out yet? I have delicious food here..."
The footsteps finally landed in front of the half tombstone just now. The shape of the loess bag behind the tombstone is almost invisible. If it weren't for the half of the tombstone poking there, no one would be able to discover that this pile of soil bag is actually a tomb.
"If you still don't come out, then I'm going in. I really am going in..."
Xia Zhichan kept testing her mouth, but there was no sign of relaxation in her eyes. She was still like a falcon soaring in the sky, searching for cunning prey hiding in the jungle.
The real troublemaker has yet to appear.
boom!
The grave exploded!
Xia Zhichan put his hands into the sleeves of his robe and each performed a secret. His eyes were fixed on the tomb with a huge gap in front of him.
Following the huge gap that opened, a vermilion... coffin can be seen.
Wait, coffin, vermilion?
A pitch black cloud drifted across the sky for no apparent reason, completely covering up the waning moon which was not bright at all.
"My lord, it's so hard for me to wait for you..."
A soft female voice came from the darkness.
Xia Zhichan turned around and looked in the direction behind her. From there the vague outline of a person walked over.
The ignorant Yun'er was finally willing to lift a corner of the curtain, and the waning moon tried its best to exude the little brilliance she had left.
At this time, the woman had already walked in front of Xia Zhichan.
The woman's black hair was casually floating behind her body, with only a few strands of hair occasionally sticking to her cheeks. It must have made her feel a little itchy, so she used her flawless white hands to wipe the hair around her neck behind her ears.
A pair of spring eyebrows and a pair of amorous eyes. Although you haven't spoken yet, those eyes have already told you countless love words.
"Officer, I miss you so much."
The woman's red lips spit out a mouthful of orchid fragrance. Her feet softened and her whole body crashed into Xia Zhichan's arms.
Once you get it, it's incredibly soft.
This woman actually only wore a layer of gauze that seemed to be transparent but not transparent, and then she was completely naked.
For a time, even the moon's blood surged, and the moonlight became much brighter. This allowed Xia Zhichan to see every detail of the charming woman in his arms.
"I……"
The jade finger pressed against the man's lips, blocking his next words.
"Stop talking and kiss me."
Xia Zhichan lowered her head involuntarily. It's a pity that he doesn't have a third eye on the back of his head, so that he can definitely see it. The tomb behind him is now completely cracked.
The red coffin in the grave has been opened, and the coffin cover is inserted diagonally into the yellow soil on the side.
The coffin is empty inside.
