When I saw that little boney hand scratching my ankle, I jumped up in fright. I wanted to jump out of the pit, but because the soil below was a bit soft, I didn't jump very high and fell back down.
Already.
But this time, I stepped on the little boney hand that just scratched my ankle.
"It's over, it's over..."
I recited this sentence silently and jumped up again. Although this time the jump was not very high, I controlled the direction of the jump and jumped directly to the side. Then I crawled awkwardly on the edge of the grave.
came out.
From the beginning to the end, Mai Xiaorou did not reach out to help me, she just stood aside and "snickered". After I crawled out, she said to me: "Others were shocked, but you were shocked."
!”
I glared at Mai Xiaorou angrily and wanted to get angry, but she quickly came to my side and kissed me on the cheek with her cold lips. With such a kiss, the anger in my heart immediately dissipated.
Mai Xiaorou continued: "Okay, Chen Yu, calm down, I'll apologize to you. Now stand behind me and I'll take a look at the things in this grave."
I quickly stepped back.
Mai Xiaorou made a finger gesture and stood on the edge of the grave. She looked at the little bones that were still moving around in the grave and said: "Injustice has its head, debts have their owners, and the cause and effect of the universe have been determined for a long time."
, if you have any grievances, you might as well come up with them one by one and don’t cause trouble!"
After Mai Xiaorou said this, the little boney hand suddenly stopped moving. Mai Xiaorou said "Huh", as if she was a little surprised.
I asked Mai Xiaorou what was wrong, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just feel like something is wrong."
I looked around a few times and didn't feel anything was wrong.
"Cackle, cluck..."
A little boy's laughter, like a silver bell, suddenly came from the grave pit, and then began to echo on the top of the mountain.
I subconsciously took a few steps back, and then adjusted my breath according to the method Mai Xiaorou taught me. This way of adjusting my breath could at least give me a little peace of mind.
Mai Xiaorou frowned as she looked at the grave and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
The little boy's voice floated out: "I laugh at the fact that you two can't protect yourself, yet you come to ask me what grievances you have. A corpse and an ordinary person whose life has been borrowed are really an interesting couple."
Mai Xiaorou couldn't help but take a step back: "Can you tell who we are?"
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound in the grave pit, and then a three- to four-meter-high earth wave rose up. After the earth wave receded, a skeletal child covered in red silk slowly floated out.
Mai Xiaorou moved back quickly, took a few steps back to my side, and then tried her best to protect me in front of me.
I felt Mai Xiaorou's nervousness, even fear.
I was quite frightened when I saw the Bone Child flying out. After Mai Xiaorou came closer, I asked her in a trembling voice: "Is the Bone Child very powerful?"
Mai Xiaorou said word by word: "Far above me!"
"Ah!" I didn't know what to say.
However, Mai Xiaorou did not lose her position because of panic. Instead, she raised her head and asked the skeleton child floating in the air: "Is your surname Liu?"
The child said: "My surname is not Liu. What I hate the most is people surnamed Liu. Do any of you two have the surname Liu?"
Mai Xiaorou shook her head and said, "My surname is Mai, his surname is Chen, and none of us are surnamed Liu. Were you harmed by someone named Liu?"
Hearing Mai Xiaorou's question, the child with white bones floating in the air suddenly slowly fell to the edge of the grave pit. Then the soil in the grave pit rose up again, directly wrapping the white bones. After a while, the dust dispersed,
Look at the skeletal child who has used clay to shape a body for himself.
It moved its arms and legs, and it was clearly a moving clay sculpture.
Mai Xiaorou pulled me back a few steps, and the clay sculpture child said: "Do you want to know my story? I can tell it to you, but as a price, you two have to stay here.
For me to refine!"
I immediately shook my head, and Mai Xiaorou also snorted and said: "Don't be arrogant, I admit that you are very powerful, but if I face you in the state of a corpse, you won't be able to get any benefits easily.
The worst we can do is perish together."
After saying that, Mai Xiaorou did not retreat anymore, but left me and took a step forward. When she took this step, I felt that her whole body suddenly became cold, and it was chilling to the bone.
I was so cold that I shivered and subconsciously stepped back six or seven meters before getting out of the freezing range.
The clay sculpture child raised his eyebrows and said: "It's such a strong corpse energy, but with your ability, you probably can't control this corpse energy. If you use this power, your friends will be killed by you too."
Just kill him."
Mai Xiaorou snorted and said, "I borrowed his life, so why not kill him?"
I couldn't help but make a "thump" in my heart. Was this Mai Xiaorou's inner voice, or was it something she said to deceive the clay sculpture child?
The clay sculpture child said "Oh" and then flew directly towards me wearing a red silk cloth. At the same time, he said: "Since you also want his life, why don't we kill him now?"
, and then I will tell you the story slowly."
Before the child could get close to me, Mai Xiaorou pinched her fingers and hit the clay sculpture child directly. Although the clay sculpture child was made of clay, its body was as light as a butterfly, and his body was in the air.
After shaking for a few times, he managed to avoid Mai Xiaorou's trick.
However, his attack was defused by Mai Xiaorou. Mai Xiaorou did not look back at me, but stared at the clay sculpture child and said: "His life is mine, no one is allowed to touch it. If you want to touch him again,
I will kill you first."
Mai Xiaorou's voice was extremely cold.
The clay sculpture child said: "I am not afraid of threatening me. The Liu family was so terrible back then. They sealed me and wanted to eliminate the violence in me, but what happened was that they didn't let me kill the entire family."
It's a pity that they sealed me with the blood of the Liu family. After so many years, I have been sleeping for so many years, and I still can't leave this unknown mountain top!"
Mai Xiaojudao: "I'm not threatening you, I'm just protecting what I want to protect!"
The clay sculpture child said "Oh" and had no intention of attacking us anymore. He suddenly turned around and said, "You can go. There was a person who said exactly the same thing as you back then. Your words saved you."
Mai Xiaojudao: "We are here to find out one thing. More than twenty years ago, two ordinary people stole another thing from your grave. Do you remember this? Those two were just ordinary people.
Man, why would you let them steal your stuff?"
The clay child was stunned for a while and said: "Those two people, because one of them has the blood of the Liu family, I can't hurt him, and what they stole is not my thing, but the Liu family's.
The eight-pole mirror that came to hold my body in place was just in time for Liu to steal it, which at least allowed me to get out of the tomb. Unfortunately, the Liu family's bloodline array was too powerful, and I couldn't leave the top of the mountain after leaving the tomb."
Mai Xiaorou asked again: "People from the Liu family, why should they ban you?"
The clay sculpture child said: "You ask too many questions."
While speaking, Mai Xiaorou had already controlled the corpse energy in her body again, and the cold feeling around her body had gradually faded away a lot.
Mai Xiaorou said again: "Since the Liu family can seal you, they are also members of the Taoist sect. Since you can slaughter a Taoist sect family, it shows that your strength is terrifying. What is your background?"
The clay sculpture child said: "Then the Liu family is just a branch, not the real Liu family. If it were the real Liu family's hermit sect, I wouldn't be able to escape in time!"
As he was talking about the clay sculpture, the kid suddenly turned to look at me, but he didn't say anything, and turned to look at Mai Xiaorou: "I'm so envious that you could borrow his life."
Mai Xiaojudao: "I'm protecting him!"
"Kekeke..."
The clay sculpture child laughed again, and then continued: "Back then, two ordinary people came to dig my grave. I knew that they were being used, and the person who used them was interested in one of them.
Individuals with the blood of the Liu family can only go up the mountain safely without disturbing the ghosts of the Liu family. The people who use them know the layout of this place very well. They stole the Eight-pole Mirror.
Liberating my body, but this is not their real purpose. When they crack the secret of the Baji Mirror, it will be time for them to release me!"
Mai Xiaorou asked curiously: "Is it someone from the Tang family who wants to save you?"
"Tang family, I didn't expect it to be them. It was really beyond my expectation. But instead of saving me, they wanted to use me!" The clay sculpture child said and slowly jumped back into the grave.
Lie down.
When Mai Xiaorou and I walked slowly over, the dirt on his body suddenly fell away with a "swish", and only a pile of white bones remained on his body.
"You should leave quickly before I want to kill you!" The child's voice sounded again.
Mai Xiaorou didn't hesitate anymore and directly pulled me on the way down the mountain.
When we were halfway down, Mai Xiaorou said to me: "Then the Tang family may have some big conspiracy. The child on the top of the mountain is so evil and violent that it can make people suffocate. If he is let out,
, we may not know how many people will be harmed, we must find a way to prevent this from happening."
I asked Mai Xiaorou how to stop it.
She said: "When the full moon comes next, I will give you your life back, and then I will come here to settle things with him."
I couldn't help but be surprised: "You want to die with him?"
Mai Xiaorou smiled and said, "Why can't you let me go?"
To be honest, I really feel a little reluctant to let go of Mai Xiaorou.
Mai Xiaorou continued: "Don't worry about me, I will come with grandpa when the time comes. With grandpa here, everything should be fine."
I didn't speak anymore, and Mai Xiaorou didn't say anything either.
Soon we went down the mountain, but just when we reached the foot of the mountain, we heard a burst of footsteps coming from a distance.
When we looked carefully, we found a group of people holding shovels, hammers, rakes and other agricultural tools running toward us. As they ran, they shouted: "Catch the thief..."
Could this be the same group of villagers who imprisoned Liu Shengfu? (To be continued)
