The dark cave has no sunlight, and the stone walls are damp but barren, with only a layer of sticky algae hanging on it. They cling to it so tenaciously, and the yellow-brown mucus forms indescribable patterns. They feed many animals that also do not need sunlight to survive.
Insects, and the insects feed larger predators. Just like the outside world, this place has its own complete system of predators of the weak.
It just doesn't see the light of day.
But recently, two people have been disturbing me frequently, constantly bringing things that will destroy the unique ecology of this place. Fortunately, those things are tightly sealed by wooden boxes and barrels, making them airtight. Will they endanger the original content of this cave for a while?
There is some order. Through the thick wooden boards, the aborigines with keen hearing may be able to detect the rustling and vitality sounds inside. However, not all boxes contain the same things.
There is a pool of water in the cave, which is very deep. It was made by the female of the two. Originally it was only slightly depressed, but she brought water, or some liquid. It was eroded deeper, like a well, and sediment
There are many unspeakable and dark things in it. She will strictly abide by the time that belongs to her and add some necessary and ritual things to it.
——Some kind of ceremony.
The cave is filled with obscure runes, like another language system, which were left by the two people not long ago. For all this, they have made enough preparations.
"Finally, there are some fluorite." This is a woman's voice. "They are not only used to emit light. They are placed according to the position on my drawing, and it is correct. This is an important part of ensuring the stability of the spiritual field."
Then came a man’s voice:
"I would be even more grateful to you if you not only talked about it, but also helped me move it for a while."
For She Ji, this box of stones is indeed not too heavy, but Jie Yan’s hands are empty, which makes her feel unbalanced. She said that she has a way, although she doesn’t know if it can be done, but she can only believe it tentatively.
She did.
He put down the box of glowing irregular stones, and the "thunk" sound when it landed echoed in the cave for a long time. After the sound completely subsided, the place seemed quieter than before. Xie Yan looked at the light and compared it with the roughness in his hands.
of paper and looked around again.
"Okay, let's put it in as promised."
"Okay, okay, you can do some work."
Xie Yan shrugged and lazily bent down to pick up a stone. In a short while, She Ji had already placed three or four of them. The light source was more dispersed than before, and now it looked much brighter.
"Tell me, where did you place that child? I don't think any villager can stand him."
"I have an abandoned house in the no-man's land of Qinglize. I tidied it up and set up a boundary. He can move within a two-mile radius. Once he exceeds the boundary, he will circle back to the house."
"It's no different than being imprisoned."
"He is quite happy and leisurely. I have already dealt with the most threatening beasts. Small things like rabbits, moles and rats are miserable, and all the flowers and plants have been destroyed by him. But after all, he can't rest, especially when no one talks.
I'm afraid I'm going to cause problems if I hold it in. I go see him every day, and it stands to reason that after so long, he's still unkind and very poisonous with his rude words."
"Hahahaha..." Xie Yan seemed to have heard a joke, "Didn't you say that your past friends were like this? They are very similar. Have you told him what happened between you in the past?"
"I said some things, but he doesn't have any real feelings. At this age, I just treat it as a story. He actually likes the name 'Louwu' and is happy to be called that. But at this point, I don't have any real feelings."
She Ji pressed his hand on the palm-sized piece of dark blue fluorite and squatted there without moving, his fingers slightly pinched. After a while, he stood up and let out a small sigh. Naturally, Xie Yan heard it, but did not interfere.
.
"This witchcraft is very complicated and a bit cruel for a child. It depends on whether you are really determined. Have you made preparations as required recently?"
"The medicine has been mixed into the rice, and the water you requested is used for bathing, so we are fully prepared."
"As expected, the poisonous insect is already alive and well in his body. Now, we need to stir it out, bringing with it his demonic nature."
"You'd better not have any accidents happen to you. Don't think that I don't know, you're just trying to poison him."
"You also know that this witchcraft has nothing to do with Lord Gaoyue's request. We take time out of our busy schedule to do this, but we can't forget about business. Have you finished everything you want to do? Wu Yin said, the tomb soil is in charge
That's enough, but it's hard to find ashes. After all, humans always like to be laid to rest. You know? That guy Kari Goutaku is blatantly offering a bounty for corpse liquid on the black market at a high price. It's really shameful."
"I know. He killed the guy who fooled him with fake goods two days ago."
"This is another jar of ashes. It's all earned no matter what. I have been in contact with the Zuojinmen for a long time. These things must be kept out of the eyes of Lord Kanna. There are many people in the Zuogenmen, and for the time being, we can still bring
Some corpses are not enough. Let’s not talk about it for now. You go and bring the child over. I should call him Luowu now, right? I’ll make some final preparations.”
She Ji took a deep breath. There was an indescribable smell in the air, a smell of moist humus, and a strange sweet and sour taste. It probably came from the bubbling pool. Under the pool, there was a vertical well with the darkest color.
The part is that he
He no longer wanted to delve into the ingredients of that rose-red color. He knew very little about the art of witchcraft and was too lazy to think more about it. Most of the time, what he needed to deal with was not these... technical issues. It was him.
More interested and doing better.
"Finally, I have to ask... This method won't cause any fatal accidents, right?"
Jie Yan rolled his eyes: "The only thing that can kill a person is probably the moment when he transforms into a monster. Of course, the process must be very uncomfortable, but I have tried my best to reduce this stimulation. If I want to surpass me, I will be killed by Qian Scorpion.
The pain of being carved up and nibbled away from the inside and outside is probably very rare!"
She Ji then left, leaving Xie Yan here to make final adjustments. There was a well set up like a wheel beside the pool. She stepped forward and stretched out the rope, which was still strong. The distribution of runes was similar to that of Yingying.
The layout of the stone and other bits and pieces are also checked
Finished. Next, she spent some time thinking about the most important task. After a long time, she heard the noisy voices coming from the entrance of the cave. At this time, Jie Yan was already a little anxious. When She Ji took the kid
When he appeared in front of her, she said angrily:
"You can make it easier for me to wait. If the time is delayed, who are you going to blame?"
"He passed by the Sinking Corpse Pond and clamored to see it." She Ji looked a little tired, "The last batch of waste has not been completely melted, so I might want to talk to Zhu Tong."
"Okay, okay, let go! I can walk on my own!"
The young master shook off She Ji's hand and looked very irritable. He was bouncing around, just like the last time he was kidnapped from the house, except that his hair was longer and not trimmed after all. He looked full of energy.
, tapping his feet on the ground irritably. The reason is easy to think of. After all, this little King of Hell has not had anything new for so long, and it is difficult to get out for air, and he still cannot play freely according to his own wishes.
However, Xie Yan guessed that the incident of going out would soon leave a serious psychological shadow on him.
"What are you doing? You can't do what you are supposed to do well. One or two people are hiding in a place like this secretly? What are you doing? Don't let me see your boss, otherwise I will be the first to complain.
.”
The young master was still unconvinced, fearing that he had not had enough fun on the road. Jie Yan bent down, frowned and said with a fake smile:
"Xiao Liwu, is it time to call you that? With your current virtue, you are not qualified to see the master of the pavilion. If you want to file a complaint, you can be exempted. After all, everything that follows is tacitly approved by our boss.
I think you must have had enough fun after so many days. Later, my brothers and sisters will take you to something more exciting."
Xie Yan waved his hand, and She Ji dragged the young master to the rope with brute force. He struggled violently, punched and kicked She Ji. But after all, he is a child, what strength can he have?
It's not a problem to block it casually without any structure. No.
After that, She Ji let him mess around for a while, soiling his clothes without saying anything. Finally, She Ji raised his hand, and the rope wrapped the boy tightly around him like a living snake. He was still exerting force.
Struggling like an earthworm about to dehydrate. But there is no sun here.
"Let me go! You bastards dare to lie to me! You scorpion spirit, when I first saw you, I didn't expect you to be such a low-level person. She Ji! As long as you are still a man, don't
Listen to this woman and let me go!"
Before She Ji could speak, Xie Yan waved his hand and the rope was wrapped around his mouth twice more. "Xiao Li Wu" was so angry that he stared, but there was nothing he could do. She Ji's face was expressionless and he really didn't know what to say.
He was even a little confused, but at this point, he was just acting as a doctor. According to the previously agreed process,
Xie Yan released the poisons from the box. Spiders of different sizes and colors crowded towards the pool, as if there was something in the water that attracted them. Then, She Ji lifted the young master up and threw him directly
Entering the water, the spiders were struggling on the surface of the water, and bubbles were constantly rising in the water.
"Sink four feet."
She Ji pulled the rope shaft.
"One, two, three, four, five, six...twenty, twenty-one. Starting."
After Xie Yan counted in a rhythmic manner, She Ji turned him up. "Xiao Lianwu" coughed violently, mixed with intermittent curses. Some spider corpses hung on his body.
"You bastard-gulu-gulu...son of a dog-well, ahem..."
"Sink seven feet."
Before he could recover, he was thrown down again. A string of bubbles came up again.
"One, two, three...thirty-one, thirty-two. Starting."
When he pulled it up again, "Xiao Lianwu" was still coughing, and what came out of his mouth was no longer rose-red water, but brown-pink water. She opened her mouth to say something, but Xie Yan was indifferent. She waved her hand and continued
explain:
"Shen Sanchi."
I don’t know how much time passed. Two of the three people present were suffering.
The last person hanging in the water below the stone roof no longer struggled. He was still alive because his lips were still trembling. He must have been full of swear words, but he had no energy to say a greeting. All the spiders on the water were wiped out and sank into the pool.
The bottom of the water completely melted away, and there was no longer a trace of ripples caused by struggle. The pool turned dark red at some point.
She Ji frowned, looking a little uneasy. Jie Yan just said lightly:
"Let's think about how to bring him here next time. Maybe you can ask Kari Gondo to help you drive away the corpse and take him into custody."
Chapter completed!
