Chapter 26 Remains
The strange baby was not completely dead, so when the incense tip touched it, it let out a deafening baby cry and twisted the little monkey's body vigorously, with extreme fear and unwillingness in its eyes.
But this is useless. It is like a piece of ice. It melts quickly when it encounters the heat of incense. It expands from a point to a hole. Then the incense penetrates the body and continues to expand. The body is burned and severed from the middle. , until it completely disappears and becomes a puff of smoke dissipating in the air.
At this moment, everyone present finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn’t expect that the monster we encountered and fought against turned out to be such a powerful monster. Our ability to finally defeat it depended entirely on Uncle Bao’s calculations, as well as our mutual cooperation and luck. If this happens again, I don’t know what the outcome will be!
But what I wonder is why there is no movement under my feet. Judging from the excitement and sadness of the female ghost just now, it is impossible that the death of this strange baby would not be a blow to her, but why didn't she react?
You must be desperate! Is there hope for a ghost?
Uncle Bao on the other side was not very happy. He had subdued such a powerful ghost and demon, and he still had a calm and even dull expression on his face. Even Bao Datong didn't say much and silently packed up the things scattered on the ground. , including the incense that was burned over and over without being consumed at all.
After A-Zhan sat on the ground for a while, he suddenly said "Hey", stood up, ran to the place where the strange baby disappeared, and picked up something.
"What is this? Yuan Dan?" He walked over and handed the thing in his hand to Uncle Bao and asked.
It was an extremely transparent bead, hanging in Uncle Bao's palm. If it weren't for the refraction of the sun that gave it a sense of outline, others would not be able to see what was in his palm. It is as pure as a drop of water, perfectly integrated with the outside world. So it was placed on the ground just now, and no one noticed it.
Uncle Bao looked at the bead carefully and sniffed it again, "There is a spirit of ghosts and monsters on it. It must have fallen from the body of the monster baby when he was refining it. But how can you see it? You are born with The yin and yang eyes are true, but I didn’t expect that your natural ability is so strong that you can even see hidden objects. How amazing!"
"What on earth is this?" Bao Datong stretched his head over.
"Well - logically it should be the inner elixir cultivated by ghosts, but I don't understand why she, an ordinary ghost, would practice this and be so clean, although she may have been dead for a long time. But I guess That strange baby dared to run out in the daytime just because he got this treasure." Uncle Bao explained.
"But if you give the inner elixir to others, wouldn't it be easy for you to die?" Bao Datong asked.
"So, the life experience of the female ghost and the strange baby must be related. Maybe, they are really mother and child."
"Want to take a look?" Bao Datong asked again.
"Uncle, we still have friends who are trapped." Azhan interrupted, "If they are not dead, please ask uncle to save them until the end."
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you!" Bao Datong replied.
Azhan ignored him and looked at Uncle Bao.
Uncle Bao nodded to him and walked slowly to my side.
He walked cautiously around the hole in the ground a few times, as if to judge the situation below. After a while, he said, "This hole is too small, we can't get in, and the situation is unknown."
"Are you going to dig out the ghost nest?" Bao Datong said a little excitedly. This made me feel a little more disgusted with him. The lives of my friends were uncertain, and my heart was always hanging. I didn't know what happened to them, what happened to Nana, how could he show such a game attitude towards life? !
"There is ghost energy, but it is complex and weak. I think you should go down and have a look first." Uncle Bao said.
I glanced at Bao Datong and saw that although he was a little thinner than A Zhan and I, he was still a young man of medium build. He could not enter this small hole no matter what. Furthermore, since the situation below is unclear, how could Uncle Bao be willing to let his son go down to do experiments with white mice? !
"Isn't this too dangerous?" Azhan said what was in my heart.
"It doesn't matter." Uncle Bao smiled, took the so-called "seven-color sword" that Bao Datong held in his hand, which looked more like a rusty iron sword, and scratched it casually under my feet, "Wanli, You can leave this circle," he said.
After hearing this, I subconsciously raised my feet and stepped out, only to see that the red circle under my feet had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed at all, and my feet were numb from standing here for a long time!
As soon as I left, Bao Datong was sitting there cross-legged!
"It's not that the place where your feet stand is noble, it's that the location here is just right." He explained with a playful smile, and before I could refute him, he slowly closed his eyes, like an old monk in meditation. , and soon became as quiet as a stone, and it seemed that he had entered the state of forgetting both things and me. This can't help but make me admire him a little. Although he is annoying, his physical and emotional state changes so quickly. It is obvious that he has a high emotional intelligence.
Seeing that Bao Datong was ready, Uncle Bao on the side took out a piece of talisman from his big cloth pocket. However, this time he did not let the talisman burn, but stuck it on Bao Datong's head. Then he took three steps back and started making gestures with his iron sword. Still like a weird dance, slowly waving arms, turning around, and stamping feet——
He was mumbling something, very softly, not as loud as when dealing with the strange baby, a bit like babble. But this seems a bit surprising to me, because although I knew that they were different from A Zhan's sect, I never thought there was such a big difference. Ah Zhan always draws talismans in the air, and his movements are quite chic and a little cold, while the Bao and his son's rituals are complex and a bit comical.
Uncle Bao continued to read, his straight tone made me drowsy. But when I felt that my eyelids were a little twitching, he suddenly jumped up, raised his iron sword and stabbed Bao Datong in the chest!
This scene almost made me scream. Fortunately, A Zhan pulled me aside. I saw clearly that Uncle Bao’s sword stopped when it reached my son’s chest. However, he had struck too hard and too fast. I I didn't expect him to be so good at it. I thought he was possessed by something and was about to stage a parricide!
The tip of the iron sword gently pierced Bao Datong's heart. It would not hurt him, but it pressed his body, making him and the sword closely connected through a thin layer of clothing. .
Uncle Bao continued to chant. Although I still couldn’t hear clearly what he was chanting, I felt that he was using another spell. After about a minute of this, the iron sword suddenly lit up, trembled non-stop, and made a buzzing sound.
"Okay, go ahead, don't be playful, come back quickly!" Uncle Bao suddenly spoke to the sword, his tone was kind and worried, which made me dumbfounded.
"Wait a minute." Ah Zhan saw Uncle Bao take out a ball of red rope, tie one end to the hilt of the sword, and was about to put the sword down through the hole with a diameter of only one foot, as if he understood what Uncle Bao was doing. , quickly stopped him, and then without thinking, he lay down on the ground and threw down the blood wood sword in his hand.
"Azhan, what are you doing?" I was startled, but it was too late to stop me. You must know that the Bloodwood Sword was a relic left to him by his father. He would never leave it until he died, so he threw it into this hole for some reason.
"Azhan, you don't have to be like this. You must know that this is a rare treasure in the Taoist world." After being stunned for a moment, Uncle Bao said happily as if he understood Azhan's intention.
"I'll get it back!" Ashan said, he stepped back to where he was and stopped talking. He watched Uncle Bao carefully lower the sword to the hole, and after the sword body sank, he slowly relaxed. Red rope in hand.
At this time, his expression was solemn, as if the end of the rope was the most precious thing in his life, which made him unconsciously show extreme concern on his facial expression. He also had to listen carefully and feel carefully until the Only the last part of the red rope was left in his hand, and he stopped letting go and held it tightly!
"Bao Datong, he-" I turned my head and glanced at A Zhan, and couldn't help but ask.
I have seen Bao Datong sitting there like a stone sculpture for a long time, and now it seems that he is not even breathing. Coupled with Uncle Bao's abnormal demeanor, he suddenly realized that Bao Datong might have had an out-of-body experience. He first possessed the sword and then went down to check the situation. And this is why A Zhan threw the Blood Wood Sword into the hole. He wanted to use the Blood Wood Sword's natural ability to exorcise evil spirits to clear the way for Bao Datong!
Azhan nodded and turned his gaze to the entrance of the cave.
I saw the red rope twisting twice, and seemed to be moving forward. Uncle Bao approached the hole and stretched the red rope as long as possible, but when his hand reached the hole, he could no longer let go. He stayed like that for a while, and then pulled back twice.
"Come back!" He muttered and started to back up. And the red rope gradually softened as if consciously, as if there was an invisible man standing there operating it, winding around the ground regularly, and then the sword began to appear at the entrance of the hole.
Uncle Bao rushed forward, reached for the sword, looked up and down a few times nervously, then showed a relieved smile and pointed the tip of the sword at the chest of the 'human sculpture' , seeing the sword shining and trembling again, Bao Datong woke up leisurely.
"The situation is quite complicated." He said after taking a breath for fear that others would steal the words. This man's love for talking is evident.
"Oh, what's the complicated method?" Seeing that A Zhan and I didn't talk to each other, Uncle Bao had no choice but to cooperate with his son.
"There are three ghosts and a dozen evil living people below!"
"Really?"
"Let's go right away!"
As soon as Bao Datong said his second sentence, A-Zhan and I answered almost at the same time.
Bao Datong gave us a proud look, as if to say, ‘Don’t you like talking to me?’!
"Datong, don't show off, speak quickly!" Uncle Bao urged, with a bit of reproach in his tone, "It is our duty to help those in need, how can you use it to fight against me?"
Bao Datong stuck out his tongue and spoke slowly.
It turns out that there is a large stone tomb under the stone ground, which almost extends to the bottom of the pool. However, the waterproof layer of this stone tomb is quite good. It has been under the pool all year round. Apart from being damp, there is no sign of water seepage.
There are three ghosts in the tomb, one is a female ghost in gorgeous clothes, but since Bao Datong went down, she has just sat blankly without any reaction at all, the other seems to be her buried maid, and the third is a newly deceased The male ghost is a young man, probably Zhao Jiang. Because A Zhan just happened to throw the blood wood sword at the entrance of the tomb, he suppressed them in the corner. They didn't dare to move at all, and they didn't seem to have any anger or resentment at all.
"We have to find a way to get in before dawn, otherwise how will we rescue our companions?" I asked anxiously, "How about digging through the entrance of the cave?"
"As I said, there is a big stone slab below, and the waterproofing work is quite good. It is not easy to dig out, unless you use explosives, or you have the ability of that weird baby to break out of the earth!"
"Just tell me what you want to do!" A Zhan was also very anxious.
"When I was down there, I saw the robber cave. It seemed that grave robbers had visited it a long time ago. There must be a well-covered cave entrance three hundred meters to the left of the exit. If we want to go there, we can go through it. That’s where you can get in.”
"Okay, let's go right now!" I turned around and was about to leave, but Uncle Bao pulled me back.
"Slow down, young people, don't be impulsive, you still have to do some work beforehand. You must at least get some lighting, right?"
I heard it right. I hurriedly dug out a few large flashlights with Azhan among the things we discarded. I felt regretful and thought that if I could calm down last night and bring some equipment, maybe the situation would be better.
As for Uncle Bao over there, when we were looking for things, he took those small flags and chanted a spell, and then carefully placed them around the hole.
Bao Datong has a strong sense of direction, so we quickly found the entrance to the robbery cave, but the entrance was so small that we had to crawl in, which was very painful for me with broken wrist bones and ribs. I think Azhan was also in great pain, because I could hear his heavy breathing.
When we went in after all our efforts, we found that the tomb was very large and seemed to have been built by a wealthy family. It was somewhat ventilated because it had been dug up a long time ago. In addition, the tomb was very clean and there was no mess like it had been stolen.
"I really don't understand why it's so weird to build it under a pool in the valley. According to Feng Shui, this is a very unlucky place." Bao Datong always asked my questions first, "It's inherently Yin. Heavy, and water belongs to yin. Adding yin to yin is still in this valley. Doesn’t this mean that the people buried here will never be reincarnated? Also, it makes no sense to say that it was done by relatives. If it was done by enemies, why would they build such a good tomb? It’s really strange!”
"You can find out if you just ask." Azhan felt a little impatient because he thought Bao Datong talked too much, so he took the lead in entering the second tomb.
As soon as I entered, I almost shouted!
Through the bright light of a large flashlight, we saw a row of people sitting on the ground. They were densely packed and dark at first glance. They all had the same posture and expression, and they stared at one person without blinking. The direction is like the incorruptible dead buried with it, and like a bunch of dolls. If the person who suddenly breaks in is timid, he will be scared to death.
"Nana!" I recognized the girl in the middle at a glance. She was my sweetheart, Azhan's girlfriend.
"As I said, young people should calm down." Uncle Bao stopped me again, "They are not in danger for the time being, so we should go inside first."
I was not allowed to distinguish, and I was dragged to the last tomb chamber.
It's very big here, but also very empty. Except for a big coffin in the middle, there are only three ghosts.
The Blood Wood Sword is at the door of the tomb, so there are two ghosts squatting facing the corner. One is a thin woman in ancient clothes, huddled vaguely, and the other is equally thin, but eyes eagerly. Looking at us, it is Zhao Jiang!
The third one is wearing gorgeous red clothes that never fade, and her long hair blocks her face!
"Is this yours?" Uncle Bao, who had been saying to take his time, suddenly took out the bead.
In the daytime, its shadow cannot be seen, but in this dark tomb, it exudes brilliance like pearls!
The third ghost said nothing.
Uncle Bao asked again and took a step forward.
This time, she moved a little, and then suddenly stood upright!
