Chapter 14: The Lamp in the Corpse Circle (Part 1)
The devil wanted to see the little master, and the little master suddenly became depressed.
As she gets older and her mind becomes more mature, the little master now wants to face the devil less and less. But she has no choice, she still has to face the devil.
The dwarf was full of fear of the Demon Lord, and when he mentioned the Demon Lord, his eyes showed uneasiness.
The dwarf said: "The devil said that at sunset tomorrow, the little master must rush to the meeting place. If the little master doesn't go, it means I didn't bring the message, and he will cut off both of my ears and chop off one of my hands. The devil said
You also know Jun’s temper, and Prince Ming doesn’t dare to provoke him easily now. Only Prince You can give him some face.”
Not to mention the dwarf, even the little master is now afraid of the devil.
The young master said in a helpless tone: "As he grows older, his martial arts become more and more terrifying, and his wings become harder and harder."
The dwarf said: "The Ming King and the Demon Lord sometimes give me different orders. I don't know who to listen to. There is the King on one side and the Demon Lord on the other. I dare not offend anyone. My little master, I am walking on thin ice now."
.”
The little master said: "Don't be afraid, Big Tou, I will go see him."
The dwarf breathed a sigh of relief and said: "My lord, the ghost-faced general has also arrived in Yu Dynasty."
The little master said happily: "He is really here? Where is he now?!"
The dwarf said: "The ghost-faced general has learned that the young master has come to Tianmu Valley, and he is on his way here."
I can see the ghost-faced general soon, and the little master is really happy.
The young master scanned the surroundings, and then lowered her voice and said: "Big Head, I asked you to search for Chu Lang in Chumen Town. How did your search go?"
Back then, the young master suspected Chu Lang's origins and asked someone to check Chu Lang's background. It turned out that Chu Lang was the son of a member of the Fireworks City, Chu.
In the past two years, my little master has gradually forgotten about Chu Lang in Firework City, but Brother Lang in Chumen Town is like a brand in his heart.
It was an imprint left in her childhood. Although her memory was vague, it was hidden deep in her soul and would always inadvertently touch her heartstrings like an invisible hand.
The little master always dreams about that scene, the night with lightning, thunder and heavy rain, the little boy stole the chicken and came back...
The little master didn't want to disturb the "little boy" anymore, otherwise it would bring disaster to him. She wanted him to spend his life in peace.
Now she understood that it turned out that the little boy was the source of her emotions.
She had to get to the bottom of it.
No matter how hard it was for the little master to contain the desire in her heart, she asked the dwarf to find a way to find out his whereabouts.
The little master also told the dwarf that no one else should know about this, especially the devil.
The dwarf said: "For this reason, I asked my eldest disciple Bai Hun'er to investigate in person. Bai Hun'er came back a few days ago. But..."
At this point, the dwarf paused.
The little master couldn't wait to say: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
The dwarf said: "It turns out that Chu Lang died more than ten years ago. After his death, the kind-hearted villagers buried him. Bai Hun'er also found his grave. He also dug up the grave to explore. The corpse in the grave had already become a corpse.
Judging from the bones, he is indeed an eight or nine-year-old child. There is also a hunting knife in the tomb..."
After hearing this, the little master felt a twinge of pain in his heart.
It turns out that "little boy" has died a long time ago.
The dwarf looked at the little master's lost look. He wanted to say something, but the little master waved his hand to him and motioned for him to go away first.
The dwarf avoided first.
After the dwarf left, the little lady squatted on the ground. She buried her head on her knees, holding her head and crying silently.
I don't know how long I cried before a hoarse man sighed.
The little master suddenly raised his face full of tears, and she turned around.
I saw a man standing beside a tree about ten feet behind me.
This man wore a black robe, his scalp was disheveled, and he had a terrifying ghost mask on his face.
This ghost face makes people shudder, but at this moment, the little master feels that this ghost face is extremely kind and warm. Because this ghost-faced person is the person she trusts the most.
Ever since she was a child, no matter what secret she had, she would tell it to this ghost-faced man.
The ghost-faced man walked up to the young master and said, "I pay my respects to the young master."
The little master stood up, but she stopped the ghost-faced man from bowing down.
In front of the Ghost-faced Man, the young master did not conceal herself. She cried sadly: "Uncle Dongfang, he is dead... Do you still remember the boy who took me in back then?"
After the ghost-faced man and the dwarf met earlier, the dwarf had already told the ghost-faced man about the matter.
The Ghostfaced Man was deeply saddened to learn that the child full of beastly aura was dead.
"Of course I remember. On the seventh night of July that year, there were lightning, thunder, and heavy rain. After all the hardships, I finally found you. At that time, an ordinary child would have been frightened, but that child held a hunting knife to protect you.
You were so brave to chop me down at such a young age. Later, I hugged you and left, and I even warned him to pretend he had never seen us. I didn’t expect him to die at such a young age, what a pity..."
The ghost-faced man comforted the little master again.
"Perhaps the meaning of his life is to save you and take you in. After the mission is completed, God will take him away. You were only six years old at that time. I know you can't remember his appearance, but I know that you have never
Forgot about him."
"Uncle Dongfang, you still know me best. You know me better than my parents..."
The little master fell into the arms of the ghost-faced man, crying sadly.
The ghost-faced man hugged her and patted her back gently.
In the hearts of the ghost-faced people, since the little master is the master, she is also his daughter.
It was he who protected her as she grew up.
The little master cried again in the arms of the ghost-faced man, venting his inner sorrow.
When the little master had finished crying, the ghost-faced man wiped the tears from her face.
The young master said: "Uncle Dongfang, why did you come to Yu Dynasty?"
The ghost-faced man said: "Your parents miss you, and I miss you even more. A few days ago, I had a dream. I dreamed that you were running barefoot and crying in the wilderness, and someone was chasing you with a knife behind you...
Thinking back on that dream, I felt uneasy, so I came here. To be honest, I don’t trust the people in the royal city..."
The young master said: "Don't worry, my master will protect me."
The ghost-faced man said: "I don't trust the devil. I haven't liked him since he was a child."
The young master said: "But he is the Demon King after all, so I have to give him face. I still have to go see him."
The ghost-faced man said: "I'll go with you."
The ghost-faced man and the little master left the forest.
…
The next evening, the little master and the ghost-faced man came to a willow forest.
The forest is filled with mist and a gloomy breeze.
This is the place where the devil asked the young master to meet.
Entering the forest, the young master said to the ghost-faced man: "Uncle proprietor, wait for me here, I will go see him myself."
The ghost-faced man said: "I'd better go with you."
The little master said: "It's okay, he won't hurt me."
The ghost-faced man waited for the little master at the same place, and the little master walked towards the depths of the forest.
The little master entered the depths of the forest, and the smell of blood hit his face.
A dozen mutilated corpses lay deep in the forest.
Each corpse looked like it had been torn apart by wild beasts, and it was too horrible to look at.
There are some corpses forming a circle.
The head is facing inside the circle and the feet are facing outside.
In the center of the circle of corpses, there is a lamp.
The lights danced like will-o'-the-wisps.
The circle of corpses, the will-o'-the-wisp lights, and the pale mist all formed a strange and terrifying scene.
