The handsome man in the entertainment industry

, categorically came to a conclusion.

As the most flat of the four tombs of "Baishan Heishui", the characteristic of the tomb here is that all the things in the tomb, even if it is just a handful of sand inside, can cause death all over the body if it touches the body. The sores, and the deeper they go, the more ferocious the sores will break out.

Like the group of local masters who dug out the robbery cave, they went straight to Huanglong and headed towards the main tomb. I am afraid that one of them counts as one, as long as they go in, they will fester all over their bodies. At that time, it had rotted into a pair of dry bones.

However, it is relatively easy to guard against descending techniques like the black character Jiang, which uses disease-causing as an attack method. The easiest way is to find a way to hide it from the sky, so that the descending technique cannot be triggered smoothly.

So Xiao Xiao prepared double insurance. The charm they carried with them could cover up the aura of the two of them for a short time, so that the yang energy on their bodies would not disturb the yin and resentment energy in the tomb. Zhong lowered his head and noticed that there were two big living people coming in.

However, this method is only expedient. After all, it is necessary to induce a large amount of yang energy to counteract the yin energy in the tomb, and the descending technique will also be triggered on them, which requires the use of his arrangements. Second layer of insurance.

"The black characters have already been broken, and the excess Yin Qi in the tomb has almost exhausted after these days."

Xiao Xiao's careful arrangement was useless, "The life-masking talisman we wear, on the contrary, because it overwhelms the yang energy on our bodies, it looks very abrupt like a drop of oil falling into water. gone."

While talking, the two walked through the narrow tomb passage and jumped into the main tomb where four "people" stood one after the other. Enduring the pungent stench, they approached one of them, and turned the flashlight to the front of the tomb. hit on the head.

There were multiple gasping sounds in the tomb, even Xiao Xiao, who was as knowledgeable as Xiao Xiao, was still startled by the thing illuminated by the light.

It was a corpse that had begun to decay, its whole body was swollen, and the liquid that flowed out from all the holes wet its unrecognizable dusty linen clothes. Even though the corpse had already started to smell, it was still standing there in a military posture, and the most intrusive thing was that it was burnt from the neck up, and the charred skin rotted slowly. There is no large area of ​​corruption yet, only some yellow, black and black juices flow out from the cracked eschar.

"This is a sky lantern."

The "lighting the sky lantern" that Xiao Xiao said is different from Dong Zhuo's famous laparotomy lighting in the Romance. Drill a hole in the skull, then insert the "wick", and then soak the headband and hair in lamp oil. Once the fire is fired, it will burn alive into a human-shaped candle with a flame on top of its head.

It's just that no one would specially bring four traitors to light sky lanterns in an ancient tomb these days. Xiao Xiao frowned and thought for a while, then said cautiously: "These four 'sky lanterns' are probably made by those local masters. method."

"However, there is no trace of binding on this corpse."

Ruan Mudeng frowned, and pursed his lips under the mask, "Didn't they even struggle a bit when their heads and faces were set ablaze?"

"Yeah, I can't figure that out either."

Xiao Xiao stared at the scorched corpse standing upright, and murmured in a low voice: "This standing posture is like a jumping corpse, it is impossible, this is really driven in by the corpse..."

Having said that, his words suddenly froze, and his eyes involuntarily turned to his apprentice standing beside him, just in time to meet Ruan Mudeng's gaze. From the young man's eyes, he saw clear confusion and uneasiness.

——They all thought of the video they watched earlier, the group of people who were "driven" by a woman whose face could not be seen clearly, especially the last one in the team who looked very much like Ruan Mudeng's brother Ruan Diyi.

"But, there are only four people here..."

Ruan Mudeng took a deep breath and exhausted all his strength to suppress the surging fear in his chest.

Xiao Xiao didn't answer, but just stretched out her hand to hug her apprentice's shoulder, the warmth of her palm penetrated to Ruan Mudeng's skin through a layer of work clothes, making him feel the silent support.

"Shall we go out?"

After cuddling for a minute, Xiao Xiao suggested: "Anyway, the tomb has been broken, so we have nothing to do, and we will leave it to the 'professionals' to deal with, okay?"

Ruan Mudeng was silent for a moment, but shook his head firmly, "I want to take a closer look."

The human-shaped sky lantern in front of him stood upright. Although his face had been scorched black, it was easy for people to judge his height. He was only about 1.7 meters five, which was five or five meters shorter than the eldest brother Ruan Diyi of the Ruan family. Six centimeters, it can't be him.

Xiao Xiao sighed, and patted her disciple's shoulder vigorously again, without any further persuasion, the two of them turned on the flashlight again and turned around in the tomb.

However, the search didn't take them much time. Soon, Xiao Xiao and Ruan Mudeng found the fifth body in the huge coffin.

The corpse seemed to be hidden deliberately by someone, and it lay upright in the coffin with the lid lifted, and a dead bone that had been decomposing for an unknown number of years was pressed under it.

Unlike the four "sky lanterns" at the four corners of the tomb, the corpse in the coffin has no traces of being burned. Although it has also begun to decay and emits a smoky stench, the clothes on its body are intact and its hands are folded on its chest. , a yellow talisman was pasted on his forehead, the writing on the talisman had been soaked in corpse fluid, and it stuck limply to his face.

Ruan Mudeng stretched out his hand, trying to peel off the talisman, but because his fingers trembled too much, he couldn't twist it several times.

"Ah Ruan..."

Xiao Xiao worriedly held his arm, and immediately from the uncontrollable trembling that her fingers touched, she felt how much her lover was suffering at this moment.

Ruan Mudeng gritted his teeth, and finally pinched the corner of the yellow talisman with his right thumb and forefinger, and tore it hard!

Under the spell, a young man's face was revealed.

Although he had been dead for many days and was left to rot naturally, but because the tomb was buried deep in the ground, the yin energy was strong and the temperature was low, even though the corpse had already started to rot, But the contours of the facial features are still well preserved.

That face has thin cheeks, clear browbones, high nose bridge, and two pale and thin lips, which are somewhat similar to Ruan Mudeng—it is his long-lost elder brother Ruan Diyi!

…………

……

"Come, have some hot tea."

Xiao Xiao stuffed a thermos cup with the lid off into the hands of her apprentice, forcing him to cheer up from his wandering state.

"Your brother... Dr. Lin and the others will take care of it."

While talking, he sat down next to Ruan Mudeng, and raised his hand to push away the messy strand of hair drooping at the corner of his eyebrows.

"...I'm actually mentally prepared..."

Ruan Mudeng held the thermos cup tightly with his fingers pinching the cylinder-shaped metal until his knuckles turned white. He lowered his head, and water droplets slid down the bridge of his nose to the tip of his upturned nose, " But... when I confirmed it with my own eyes... it turned out to be..."

Xiao Xiao hugged the other party's neck so that the young man could bury his face in his shoulder and cry as much as he wanted.

From the moment she saw the corpse lying in the coffin, Xiao Xiao came up with an idea, no matter who the person who broke the formation and dug the grave, at least Ruan Diyi's corpse was deliberately left for their master and apprentice to see.

After all, only four "sky lanterns" are needed to destroy the tomb with black characters, and lighting up the sky lanterns will burn the face, making it difficult to distinguish the appearance.In order for them to recognize the eldest brother of the Ruan family at a glance, the chief envoy specially brought a fifth person, and put Ruan Diyi's body in the open coffin, obviously to let them get rid of him immediately. recognize.

——So, whether it’s the scenes of expelling corpses in the deep mountains and old forests that “just happened” to be photographed, the robbery holes that were not filled on purpose, or the sores that caused the villagers to infect the tomb, and the corpse of Brother Ruan in the tomb, this series of events The means are all aimed at their master and apprentice!

While Xiao Xiao was thinking, she hugged the young man in her arms tightly.

He enshrined his soul in the body of the white fox that cultivated the inner alchemy, and stole nearly 400 years of time. Whether he wanted to or not, he also witnessed the life and death of many people, and he would inevitably experience being separated from many old friends and being left alone A day in the world.

Xiao Xiao was abandoned by others since she was a child, and her closest master and senior brother are long gone. After seeing life and death a lot, her heart becomes cold and indifferent, and this apprentice beside him is the one he hasn't seen for a long time, who can really touch him. Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy made him want to take good care of him, an existence he couldn't let go of.

Even if he knew that Ruan Mudeng had fallen in love with him and had lust for him, even if he didn't intend to, he couldn't respond to the other party's intention, Xiao Xiao never wanted to draw a line with him, and there would be no more Tangled thoughts.

He knew he couldn't let go.

"It's okay, don't cry..."

Xiao Xiao patted Ruan Mudeng's shoulder lightly, then turned her head and kissed her apprentice's forehead, coaxing in a low voice, "Master will accompany you in the future, don't cry..."

Chapter 85, Nine, Past 09

After all, the thrill of seeing the decayed corpse of the only relative with his own eyes is really not something ordinary people can bear. Because he was worried that Ruan Mudeng would be too sad, Xiao Xiao didn't let him go all day.
