Rent me for three coppers

This bone whistle was obtained from the Mudu tribe when the baby was walking with his master in the rivers and lakes in the early years.

The Mudu people live in the deep mountains all year round. They claim to be the descendants of the mountain gods and have the ability to communicate with the spirits of heaven and earth. The bone whistle is a musical instrument that can imitate the sound of animals produced during their long-term hunting activities.

At first, the bone whistle was only made of animal bones, but a wizard in the clan made a bone whistle out of his dead daughter's ribs, and accidentally discovered that it could communicate with dead souls.

Although ordinary people in the tribe are still not allowed to make such utensils, the priests of the Mudu tribe still choose to keep this craft for psychic communication.

Back then, when Zhiying traveled to the Mudu tribe with his master, he was already arrested by the xenophobic tribe, but when their high priest came to take a look, he ordered someone to untie the rope.

At that time, the infant was only eight years old, and he had been running around with his master, and hadn't had enough to eat for several days. The moment he was untied from the rope, he sat on the ground exhausted, and his stomach let out an untimely growl. Goo' sound.

"Our teacher and apprentice entered your tribe by mistake. It was our fault first. But my apprentice is still young, I wonder if the high priest can give her something to eat?"

Hearing this, the high priest sneered, "Everything without spirit will perish."

"Also ask the priest to give her something to eat."

The atmosphere between the two was obviously tense, but after a while, the high priest waved his hand, signaling the attendants to take the infant down, and brought her some food.

The baby sat cautiously in the corner, holding a large piece of dried meat they gave him, and gnawed with difficulty.

I don't know how long it took, the master smiled and walked up to her, stretched out his hand and snorted her head: "You are so young, your teeth are so bad, what should you do in the future?"

While talking, he tore a piece of dried meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

The Mudu tribe does not welcome outsiders, and the two of them were kicked out by a group of people with wooden sticks and iron forks as soon as the master came out.Finally, a piece of dried meat was wrapped in leaves and thrown out.

"Master, we obviously didn't break in by accident."

"nonsense."

"then you……"

"If you don't say that, we might become their dinner." The master said as he took out a white bone whistle from the cloth bag and handed it to the infant: "I asked for this from them, maybe in the future it works."

"What is this for?"

"I heard that it is possible to communicate with undead who have lost consciousness." Master touched his chin: "I don't know if it's true or not, why don't you try it?"

Zhiying picked up the bone whistle, poked it tentatively twice, and then brought it to his mouth: "Chi - chirp -"

"Hahaha--"

Zhiying helplessly looked at the master who was about to lie down on the ground with a smile, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only hand the bone whistle to the master in a fit of anger.

"Huh? Shall I blow it?" The master confidently picked up the bone whistle, inhaled and encouraged: "Chirp———"

……

"Hey, that's probably the only sound that this thing blows out. Speaking of which, have you seen any undead? Why didn't I see it?"

……

Thinking about it, Zhiying still can't play this bone whistle well, so she probably inherited her master's mantle.

--------

With the sound of the bone whistle, all the dead souls in front of him surrounded Zhiying, sized up the person in front of him curiously, and whispered in their own language.

"Zhao Mingyuan, do you know each other?"

The dead souls were stunned for a moment, then pushed out a white shadow from the middle, and the white shadow looked around helplessly before replying.

"know."

"Is the doctor in the village here?"

The group of white shadows commotioned for a while, and pushed one person out again.

"Zhao Mingyuan's foot injury, but you showed it?"

"No."

Zhao Mingyuan said it was seen by the doctor in the village...

"Has there ever been an unidentified person in the village?"

After a brief silence, a small voice sounded from the corner: "I...I seem to have seen it before."

When everyone's eyes turned to the little girl who made the voice, the little girl shrank back to the corner in fear: "I... I'm not sure either."

"Say you know."

"That evening, I went home to buy vinegar for my grandma, and met Dr. Liu, but... I felt that Doctor Liu was weird, holding a piece of blood-stained cloth in his hand... I asked him where he was injured, and he just... stared glanced at me."

"Impossible, Zhao Mingyuan never came to see my injury."

"Oh, you...you listen to me. I also feel that something is wrong. After the man walked by, I looked back and I..."

"What do you see?"

The little girl's voice sounded like she was about to cry: "That person is indeed Dr. Liu's face, but... but he seems... to have three legs."

After hearing this sentence, Zhiying suddenly opened her eyes wide, and she grabbed the little girl's arm: "What other characteristics does he have?"

"I... I don't know, I just remember that he was holding a towel in his hand... blood, all blood!"

The green lines that suddenly flowed on the baby's skin were extremely obvious in the dark night, and gradually, her eyes were also dyed emerald green.

The three-bell rope around his waist vibrated wildly. Zhiying grabbed the three-bell rope and squeezed it hard. The three bells on it turned into ghost faces one by one, and bursts of piercing laughter came out in the silent room.

"You... me, on his arm! There is a large red tattoo!"

The little girl was also frightened by the baby's current appearance, and after desperately digging out this thing from the only remaining memory, she passed out directly.

——'This god totem of the Flamingo Clan is really... a god with three legs, two arms and one mouth...'

The baby took a few steps back, panting heavily, something was struggling to come out from the depths of her blocked memory.

——'Ghosts and gods are also gods. '

——'You can't all become gods, and you can't realize your little wish, right? '

The blood-stained sandpit, the wriggling remains at the bottom of the pit, the thunderclouds gradually gathering in the sky, and the Huohe tribe worshiping on the ground piously.

"God, may you protect my Fire Crane subjects."

Shouts of pain are regarded as the joy of becoming a god, and believers use chains and cages to trap their newborn gods until the gods regain their so-called 'sanity'.

"Li Zhen..."

The three ghost faces repeated Zhiying's words over and over again, and Zhiying let go of his clenched hands, allowing those emerald green patterns to spread all over his body.

"Baby, open the door!"

Bai Ning's anxious voice sounded outside the door, but she couldn't get a response from inside. In desperation, she pushed away the two people who were blocking the side, released her steel claws, and directly scratched through the wooden door.

The infant in the room had black hair scattered behind him, kneeling on the ground lifelessly.After a long time, she turned to look at the two people at the door.

"you……"

Facing those emerald green eyes, Bai Ning didn't know what to say for a while.

From the first time he met the baby in this city, Bai Ning knew that she was no longer human.

Everything without a soul dies, and a baby has a soul but no soul.

The monster race has a spirit, and the human race has a spirit to live a soul.

It was as if the baby was forcibly pulled out of her broken body by someone who took her soul out of her broken body, protected her and carefully avoided the way of heaven, and brought her into the world.

An infant has no soul, but she has a spirit that is strong enough to protect her.

Bai Ning was curious, that's why she was willing to be at her mercy, but after getting along with her for a long time, she found that the baby seemed to be very repulsed by this external spirit, and she was afraid to avoid it.

But now, Zhiying calmly accepted that external spirit, which can only show that she remembered something...

Nothing wonderful.

Zhiying slowly stood up from the ground, step by step, walked out piously and heavily, and then turned into a phantom and left the room.

"Master... what's wrong?"

Chen Yong looked at the figure of Zhiying leaving, and asked stupidly.

"You always say how lucky you are to meet a baby in an alley, then tell me..." Bai Ning pinched Chen Yong's chin with one hand, and asked word by word: "Why do you want that baby?" time passed."

"I……"

"Don't tell me you are a coincidence, who instructed you to go there?"

"..."

"Do you have to wait for something to happen to the baby before you talk about it?"

"Yes! There is someone who told me that there is a very powerful celestial master in the alley... She said that she can take me as an apprentice... But I really never thought of harming Master. Master is so good, why should I To kill her!"

Bai Ning sighed heavily, and knocked Chen Yong unconscious with a knife.

"It's really a lie to say everything, tsk, Jingjia, look at him, I'll go find Zhiying."

"I also need to go!"

"Why are you going?" Bai Ning flicked Jingjia's forehead with his fingers: "First heal your injury completely, and going now will only do a disservice."

Jingjia curled her lips, but obediently agreed.

----------

It was evening, and the orange glow covered the earth in an instant, and all the boundaries in the world became blurred.

Director Yang Ming stood still and watched the sudden change of light and shadow. After a while, he clapped his hands and decided to shoot the scene where Ling Yun hanged himself first.

Qi Qi stood on one side a little tired, took a few big mouthfuls of warm water from the assistant, greeted the assistant director and walked down.

In Feng Qian's solo play, she should stop wandering around here.

Most of the people were still busy in the front, and there were not many people in the rest area. Qi Qi found a reclining chair to lie on comfortably, took out his mobile phone and played a small puzzle game.

The orange glow slipped in from the door, and Qi Qi, who was looking at the phone for a while, suddenly felt that her vision was a little blurred. She rubbed her eyes, but found that no matter how hard she could get rid of that blur.

"what happened?"

The baby's voice suddenly sounded beside her, Qi Qi sat up and looked at her for a while, then said coquettishly: "I don't know what's in my eyes, I can't see clearly."

"Ok?"

Zhiying bent down and put his hand towards Qi Qi's forehead, but at the moment when it was about to touch her skin, Qi Qi took a step back to avoid it.

"What are you hiding from me for?"

The figure in sight was very blurry, Qi Qi looked up at him for a while, then asked coldly:

"who are you?"

"Oh? I'm a baby..."

While speaking softly, the man put his hand in the shape of a claw, and grabbed Qi Qi's neck fiercely.
