"Little...little uncle, could it be that...you are too worried?" Ni Jinxuan was a little scared and stretched out her hand to tug at the edge of Lin Du's cloak.
Yuan Ye and Yan Qing shook their heads at the same time, and then looked at Lin Du at the same time.
"My uncle's suspicions are not false speculations." Yan Qing is older than them all and belongs to a small aristocratic family in Zhongzhou. He has read a lot of books since he was a child. Although he is a swordsman, his thinking is better than the two. The younger brother and younger sister are much more organized.
After the small world collapsed, it wandered in nothingness. The space collided into this world and was discovered by the sects in Zhongzhou. And because the discoverer happened to be a large monk, several sects worked together to develop it, and the other sects would pay some rent as offerings, so It has become a secret training place for Zhongzhou sect disciples.
And this small world is famous for being a secret realm with low damage rate for low-level monks.
He pursed his lips and said, "As far as I know, seven times, less than two hundred people were killed, and many of them were clearly not in the desert."
Lin Du was naturally sensitive to numbers and had almost a photographic memory, while Yan Qing was more mature in thinking and quickly caught up with her thinking.
"It's very possible that there was something wrong with the people who went out earlier."
Lin Du said, "In other words, there are ghosts among the people who went out."
Yuan Ye took a breath and widened his eyes, "Is there a ghost?"
"Incarnation." After Yan Qing finished speaking, he added, "The flesh and blood are eaten by the willow demon, and the soul is dispersed. There is a secret technique about willow branches, called willow branches into bones, which can let willow branches replace people's death." Bones, it is recorded in ancient books that a willow demon with deep cultivation can become a body of flesh and blood, and after eating people, the willow branches can turn into the body of the person being eaten."
The person eaten by the Willow Demon was a human, and although the things he vomited out were exactly the same, they were actually ghosts.
This is a big game.
The resentment of the ghost soul turned the red willow into a demon, and the resentment fostered nourished the willow demon. The ghost below also used the willow demon to eat people, got into the body born from the willow branch, and changed into a new identity.
Open the gate and go out with the human form of the Zhongzhou disciple. Anyway, the willow demon only eats people, not the disciple's token and storage ring.
Lin Du and Yan Qing looked at each other and saw the deep thoughts in each other's eyes.
Yuan Ye cursed, "It's a shame that I wanted to play a song for them to redeem themselves."
Lin Du lowered his eyes, "It's not impossible, let's go down and have a look."
Yuan Ye made a sound and pulled out his erhu slowly.
Ni Jinxuan was a little worried, "Uncle, you don't look well. Let's take a rest first."
"Before all those people come to cause trouble, let's attack the first scene first, otherwise the skulls will be crushed by those who come to see the excitement and get a share of the action..."
As Lin Du spoke, he glanced at the small black dots scattered in the distance, which were moving here like ants at high speed.
Yan Qing also agreed, "I'll go down first. Junior uncle, please be careful."
Lin Du sighed and said, "I'm not a piece of paper, so don't worry."
Yuan Ye whispered, "My junior uncle can still uproot a thousand-year-old willow demon."
Lin Du raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not that I didn't... forget it."
Yan Qing took the lead and jumped down with a knife, followed closely by Lin Du. Ni Jinxuan grabbed her cloak and jumped down after her. Yuan Ye scratched his head, muttered, and jumped down too.
The pit was extremely deep. Even if the four people used their spiritual power to delay the fall, their joints were still sore from the shock.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Lin Du frowned, "It's so heavy."
The Yin Qi in her bones hadn't dissipated yet, so she couldn't help but tighten her cloak, but it was useless.
Ice cubes are still ice cubes.
The underground was indeed roughly a city, and the place they landed in was a central square-like place in the city. There was a table for worship. In front of the table, a white skeleton sat religiously. The body had turned, but the skeleton still looked like it was meditating.
Lin Du glanced at it and saw that it was probably an altar.
Surrounding the altar were densely packed piles of sitting bones, numbering hundreds of people.
"So many people have died here?" Ni Jinxuan breathed softly. She didn't look down just now, so she was a little scared after seeing so many bones.
Yuan Ye couldn't stand still when he fell down, and he threw himself directly into the arms of a bone. Then there was a crash, and the bones were scattered around like dominoes, and the neat rows of sitting bones were One after another they began to collapse and scatter.
Lin Du, who saw this scene helplessly:...
What the hell did I just say?
Yan Qing was checking the things on the altar table. When he heard the noise, he turned around and closed his eyes silently.
Is this guy a descendant of the royal family?
The young man threw himself in front of the sternum, his hands still pressing the two humerus bones. When he raised his eyes, he knew that he was in trouble.
"Little... little uncle, my legs are a little weak, but it doesn't matter. We can just count the heads as before. Look at how neat the skull is..."
Lin Du nodded, "It would be just as neat if you put your skull on top."
Yuan Ye got up with difficulty, with a grimace on his face, "I was wrong, look, aren't there still a few people left?
Yan Qing walked up to the white bones that were obviously in the dominant position in front of the altar table. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the white bones scattered with a sound.
There was a crash, and it was fleeting.
Lin Du raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. There were four people in total, and a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks appeared.
Yan Qing was silent for a moment, then quietly retracted his hand, "Do you believe me when I say I haven't met my junior uncle yet?"
Lin Du nodded perfunctorily, "I believe it if you tell me."
Yan Qing felt a little aggrieved, "I really didn't encounter it."
There was a crash, and there was another sound. Lin Du frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, thinking that another Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chick had touched it.
but no.
Lin Du's eyes slowly became serious.
Yan Qing seemed to have found some theoretical support and said loudly, "Young uncle, look, I will say..."
Before he could finish speaking, another white bones were scattered.
Yan Qing's voice trembled, as if he played the erhu to the wrong tune and was forcibly pinched by the teacher.
Lin Du narrowed his eyes, "It can't be that your loud voice scared this skeleton."
As soon as she finished speaking, another white bones were scattered on the ground.
Ni Jinxuan's eyes widened and her voice trembled, "Uncle Junior... Gui, haven't the ghosts been dispersed yet?"
"What are you afraid of? We are monks who kill ghosts. Unless they also become ghost cultivators, the ghosts are afraid of us." Lin Du's head hurt. He had calculated too much before and glanced at the timid rabbit. He seemed to understand, and then lowered his voice.
"Even if they are ghost cultivators, the way of heaven is suppressed in Qin's state of mind. The four of us are in Qin's state of mind. We beat them in groups."
As Lin Du spoke, there were several more sounds of bones falling apart, and only twenty of the bones that had been sitting intact were left.
She suddenly realized something, "Yuan Ye, go touch those few bones that are not scattered."
Yuan Ye groaned, not knowing why, but he still went over and touched it.
Not scattered.
"Harder."
Yuan Ye slapped the skull.
The bones were motionless.
Instead, Yuan Ye whined and blew on his red hand.
"Did you find it?" Lin Du said.
"Found it." Yan Qing answered and looked at the bones that were still sitting there.
"What did you find?" Yuan Ye looked innocent.
"Count the skulls scattered on the ground, Yuan Ye." Lin Du said.
Yuan Ye obediently counted how many skulls there were.
"One hundred and ninety-six... one hundred and ninety-seven, plus the ones over at the altar, there are a total of one hundred and ninety-seven, young master uncle." Yuan Ye said, his face suddenly stiffened, "This number sounds a bit familiar. Ah, little uncle?"
Lin Du lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Yes, it sounds familiar."
One hundred and ninety-seven scattered white bones are scattered because the ghosts of the bones are no longer in this world and are no longer maintained by the power of the ghosts.
There are also one hundred and ninety-seven bones under the roots of the willow tree.
In other words, a total of one hundred and ninety-seven ghosts walked out of the small world and wandered into the world where they were.
If Lin Du hadn't broken the formation today, maybe twenty ghosts would have followed them out this time.
Ghosts wander into the world and are resurrected in evil ways.
Previously, I thought it was a vicious willow that eats people, but now I have dug it up and realized it.
It's never Liu who's evil, it's the people.
