"Bailu, why did Master Fuxi kill you?" Qi Yin asked.

The starry sky was silent, and the darkness covered Qi Yin's body gently and quietly. He lay on the stone platform, looking up at the bright Milky Way above his head, watching them flow quietly like mercury.After waiting for a long time without getting a response, Qi Yin tilted his head in doubt, only seeing the thin white back of the white deer sitting on the statue.He had his hands in his sleeves, and the sleeves of his robe fluttered like moth wings, swaying, and there was an unspeakable sense of depression.

"Alas," he sighed, "At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I violated Fuxi's prohibition, and mixed up the messy things of the mortal world. I don't want to talk about it, but I said it was sad."

Although Qi Yin was curious in his heart, he was not a master who broke the casserole and asked the bottom line, so he didn't ask more.Turning his head to see the white bone sitting reclined, he thought of his brother again.I don't know what his brother is doing now and if he misses him.Qi Yin sighed melancholy, and suddenly thought of something, she sat up in a jerk, and asked, "By the way, Great God Bailu, my elder brother Fu Lan is a child from the Bashan Temple. Are there any great witches under your command who have descendants? Maybe I Brother is his offspring."

"A child from the Bashan Temple?" Bailu turned around suspiciously, "Wu Zhu will serve the gods all his life. If he is not married, has no children, and will not have a fortune, if he has no sin, he will jump out of reincarnation after death and become a god's servant. How can there be children with the gods?" He waved his sleeves, and white mist rose, and those white souls appeared on the bronze pillar again, "Here, this is the servant of the young master."

Qi Yin stared at them blankly, the spirits stood silently, a pale chin was exposed under the white deer mask.Their tall and quiet postures revealed an ancient solemnity.Qi Yin stammered and asked, "Is this how they live in the white mist forever?"

Bai Lu nodded, raised his chin towards Qi Yin, "What did you say your brother's name was?"

"Fulan." Qi Yin said.

"Fushu's Fu, Qinglan's Lan?"

Qi Yin nodded.

"It's a strange name."

"How strange?" Qi Yin said, "It's so artistic, unlike my name, my aunt said that my name was thrown by my mother in front of the statue of Nuwa, throwing a thousand words."

The white deer said: "Did you see many twining flowers in the tomb? That one is called Fulan flower, which is the totem of my temple. This flower is very strange. The stems and whiskers are connected, and the root system is connected. All Fulan flowers grow from one big root. What's more interesting is that this flower will die when the wind blows, and when the wind blows, it will all turn into ashes and float away without a trace. Because of this special habit, it can't survive in the lower realm, only in the little master's There is a moon in the sky."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the mist condensed in his palm, turning into an illusion of a flower.With a wave of his hand, the flower floated unsteadily towards Qi Yin, Qi Yin stretched out his palm and caught it carefully.It was a small white flower, which looked like a fluffy ball at first glance, and the petals were like a circle of cotton wool, attached to the root.When Qi Yin blew, the petals flew into the air, like a circle of fine and dense starlight blown down, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Qi Yin looked at the petals that were blowing away with the wind, and unconsciously became dazed.With such a divine flower as the name, the person is also like a quiet little white flower. Is his brother a flower fairy?He propped his chin, his thoughts wandering aimlessly.Why isn't that guy a girl?Stupid and silly, it would be nice to be a girl, and she would be so lovable.

He remembered how Fulan was doing needlework under the lamp at night, with her head lowered, the collar at the back of her neck was lowered, revealing a white nape of her neck.If Fulan was a girl, then he could...Qi Yin was feeling overwhelmed, she stood up, unintentionally touched her sick foot, and felt a sharp pain.I took off my shoes and socks and saw that the sore had spread to the instep, and it was blue and purple, like a layer of Sha.

Bai Lu turned around to see it, gave a disgusted "tsk" and said, "It's so disgusting."

"..." Qi Yin gave him an angry look.

The white deer floated down slowly like fallen leaves, and a dim white light condensed in the palm.His palm brushed over Qi Yin's right foot, and the mantra peeled off layer by layer like a varnish shell, and disappeared immediately.Qi Yin was pleasantly surprised and turned her feet over and over to see that the curse had really disappeared.God is indeed a god. Although Siliu can't be seen, he still has two brushes.

He raised his head and wanted to thank him, but he saw that Bai Lu's soul had faded a little, like smoke, and it was about to disperse.

Qi Yin said in a daze: "Bailu, you... your soul..."

"Oh," Bailu looked down at himself, and yawned sleepily, "After all, he just came back to life, he's too weak, and it took a little bit of spiritual power to become like this. It's okay, even if the spirit is gone, it will last forever." We will meet again in a few days."

Qi Yin was slightly relieved.

Bai Lu said again: "For the sake of your blood, let me remind you that the gang of witches who served me have always been..." His almost transparent white face showed helplessness and boredom, "Anyway It’s hard to say. God’s tomb was built by them, and intruders are considered a blasphemous crime in their eyes. Therefore, once someone breaks into the tomb, it will be automatically sealed, allowing the intruder to act as my living martyr. But I have already made the entrance Open it, if you want to go out or stay, you can figure it out." He tucked his hands towards the statue, his figure gradually faded, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and said, "By the way, don't touch..."

Before he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Touch what?Qi Yin was puzzled.He called Bailu several times, but no one answered, so he had to give up.

It has been at least a while since I came in, Yunzhi and the others still haven't shown up, so there must be nothing wrong.He didn't dare to go out hastily, maybe his father would be waiting at the door.Scratching his head, he drew several more sound transmission symbols and sent them out, hoping that they would see them soon.

Qi Yin decided to wait for another cup of tea, and if there is no letter, he will go out.Waiting and waiting, the upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and one of them couldn't hold on, and fell asleep.Seeing Fulan in the dream, she sat beside him, looked down at him, her big black eyes were still so focused, like pure glass beads, clearly reflecting his shadow.Seeing him, Qi Yin's nose was sore, for some reason, like a reunion after half a lifetime, almost shed tears.He was quiet and didn't say a word. His gentle and peaceful appearance was really likable.

Qi Yin suddenly became ill, it was a dream anyway, and it wasn't real, so it's better to do something you want to do.He shrugged, pouting his mouth and pounced, Fulan in the dream was obviously startled, and pressed his head, trying to prevent him from getting close.Qi Yin refused to let go, she pouted and wanted to lean towards his face.

A terrified voice sounded from behind, "Hei Zi, you're having spring in your dream!"

Qi Yin woke up suddenly, raised his eyelids, and saw Qi Lingshu's dead face that was so cold, with his hand still on Qi Yin's forehead, Qi Yin was startled, and hurriedly shrank back.

Yun Zhi came over and said jokingly, "It's so intense, who did you dream about? Miss Hua?"

Your uncle's.Qi Yin was full of embarrassment, raised his eyes and looked around, Qi Lingshu adjusted his sleeves, Zhaoming stood beside him and looked up at the statue of the White Deer, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk in awe.He just didn't see Fang Xinxiao, so he asked, "Where is Junior Sister Xinxiao?"

Yun Zhi showed a headache expression, and said, "We got separated."

They sat cross-legged and slowly told Qi Yin what happened after he was taken away.Just as Qi Yin was dragged up by Qi Shenwei, everyone hurriedly chased after him, but at this moment, the stone statues in the corridor vibrated and began to crack one by one.Under the dim talisman light, those stone statues meandered out of the cracks of branches and forks, and the stone shell shattered, revealing the shriveled and barren people inside.Those people were dark brown all over, with a strong smell of medicine, they came out of the stone statue.Everyone had a distorted expression of pain on their faces, and the facial features seemed to be covered with a layer of asphalt and melted by the high temperature, hideous and terrifying.They stretched out their dry hands, groping towards Yun Zhi and them, howling miserably.

Everyone turned pale with shock, Qi Lingshu retreated while wielding his sword.The bleak sword light wove into a misty sword rain and fell on those monsters.The monster covered its head and face and roared in horror, but none of them fell down, still howling and groping towards Qi Lingshu's direction.Fang Xinxiao and Zhaoming first crawled out along the hole that Qi Shenwei made just now, followed by Yunzhi and Qi Lingshu, and everyone escaped from behind the hall.However, those monsters also scrambled out of the hole, slurring their speech and yelling miserably.

Zhaoming asked frightenedly, "What are they calling for? Kidneys? They want our kidneys? What's the matter? They've done it like that. Do you still want to strengthen your yang?"

Yunzhi yelled: "What kidneys, they call God!"

"God? How can there be a god?" Zhaoming cried while running, "What the hell is this place, why is it so evil!"

Yun Zhi turned his head and took a look, almost hesitating.Human heads rolled in the gloomy darkness. Those monsters stretched out their withered arms and opened their twisted mouths. While chasing after them, they screamed, "God, forgive us! Forgive us!"

After finally finding a corner, everyone climbed up to the beams, holding their breath and waiting for them to pass.Fortunately, those things didn't have good eyesight for some reason, and they groped and sniffed around, and finally went away one by one.When it was confirmed that it was safe, Qi Lingshu whispered, "Fang Xinxiao is gone."

Suddenly there were two people missing, whether to go to Qi Yin or Fang Xinxiao first, everyone was silent.Qi Yin didn't know where he was being dragged, the road was full of monsters, it was difficult to check the bloodstains on the ground, but Fang Xinxiao was most likely nearby.After struggling for a while, I finally decided to go to Fang Xinxiao first.

They speculated that they lost it when they ran for their lives just now, and went back along the road to search, but they couldn't find it.So I looked for a possible fork in the road, either it was already blocked by monsters, or there was no one.They guessed whether Fang Xinxiao would return to Shimen, so they turned off the lamp and walked back in the dark.

There are a few shriveled monsters alone on the road, and there are no beams on the roof, so they can't go up.But this thing had bad eyesight, so they decided to walk around them holding their breath.

Zhao Ming was the least courageous, his heart was beating wildly, almost about to explode, and he watched Qi Lingshu crept quietly under the arm of a monster, and reached the other end of the aisle.Yun Zhi told him to go first, and he moved over bit by bit with a grimace. A monster seemed to have sensed something, raised its nose, and poked its head in his direction.His legs went limp at once, and he didn't dare to move. The monster hunched over and was getting closer and closer to him. Even though the aisle was pitch black, he could clearly see its deeply sunken black eyes.Its body is very weird, with shriveled flesh, like dried bacon.There is a crack in the throat, and there are things that look like plant stems and leaves faintly visible inside.

Zhaoming quickly figured out why these things had such a strong medicinal smell, it was because their bodies were filled with herbs.

The monster sniffed at his side, found nothing, and finally turned his head away.Zhaoming heaved a sigh of relief, and moved his steps carefully again, finally reaching Qi Lingshu's side.Yun Zhi also came over, and they went back to the long corridor, only to find that the stone door was closed tightly, without any sign of it being opened.At this moment, they received Qi Yin's sound transmission talisman.

"That's why we came here first." Yun Zhi spread his hands.

Everyone sighed at each other, and Qi Yin narrated what happened to her, and everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe it.Zhaoming stared blankly at the statue of the White Deer and said, "So... there is really a god? Qi Yin, are you dreaming? You dreamed of Miss Hua just now."

spend your uncle.Embarrassed, Qi Yin said angrily, "I'm very clear-headed, I can tell if I'm dreaming or not."

"If this is the tomb of the gods, then I think I know what those mummy corpses are outside." Yun Zhi said.

"What is it?" Qi Yin asked.

"It's a sinner." Yun knew, "There was no distinction between politics and religion in the ancient tribes, and the great shaman Zhu was actually the leader of the tribe. Only nobles who mastered writing and etiquette could become shamans. They established a strict hierarchy, and the highest status was the illusory god. , Below the gods are witches, and below them are nobles, commoners, and slaves, and criminals are lower than slaves. These criminals are sealed in stone statues. On the one hand, they are severely punished, and on the other hand, they are allowed to guard the underground palace."

"How do you know?" Qi Lingshu frowned and asked, "Even Master Yuan Yin never mentioned this thing."

Yun Zhi: "My beautiful uncle told me. There are records in ancient books of a kind of 'honeyman' who never eat or drink before death, but bathe and drink honey. During menstruation, all defecation is honey. After death, Chinese people bury it with honey." Sarcophagus'. It means that before this kind of people are sealed, they are not allowed to eat or drink, only eat honey juice, and bathe with honey juice. After a month, even their shit and urine are honey juice. When they die, Just seal them in the sarcophagus. My uncle said that this sealing method was passed down from the ancient Wuzhu. But the guys outside smell like medicine. It seems that the ancient Wuzhu did not pour honey, but medicine. Juicer." He raised his eyebrows, "There is a flood in some mountain valleys, and the bees in the corners are washed out, and some people will cut off their meat and eat them. It is said that they can live forever. Now there are still You can see a lot of 'honey meat', which is very expensive, but almost all of them are fake and made of rat meat."

It's so fucking disgusting, Qi Yinguang felt like throwing up when he heard it, "God, can they talk about this thing?"

"Why can't they go down?" Yun Zhi smiled, "As long as they can live forever, I guarantee that they will even eat shit from immortals."

Qi Lingshu glanced at him coldly, Yun Zhi stuck out his tongue, swiped his fingers across his mouth, and made a gesture of sealing his mouth.

"Such a severe punishment," Zhaoming clicked his tongue, "what a crime it must be."

"If I'm not wrong, it should be a crime of blasphemy." Qi Lingshu said flatly.

Qi Yin asked curiously: "Why are you blaspheming? Peeing in front of the statue?"

"Actually, it's not necessarily blasphemy," Yun Zhi said. "Sometimes treason, apostasy, or adultery are also regarded as blasphemy."

Qi Yin sighed and shook his head. To be honest, according to Bai Lu's temperament, he probably doesn't care about treason and apostasy, but the guy who disturbed his sleep is likely to be punished for blasphemy.It is not clear whether these punishments are the superstition of foolish men and women, or the original cruelty rooted in the hearts of thousands of mortals.

Yun Zhi took out the dagger, scratched it on the ground, and restored part of the map of the underground palace from memory.According to Bailu, this is the nave, so they should have reached the middle of the underground palace, and there should be an apse behind.If Fang Xinxiao hadn't met the monster, logically speaking, he would have walked in the direction of the entrance.They decided to go back to the corridor in a while to see if Fang Xinxiao sent the notes.

Zhaoming was very curious about the White Deer God, and circled around the statue.Qi Yin held her chin, remembering the sentence "Don't touch..." when Bai Lulin disappeared.I always thought it was weird, at that time Bailu's soul body was already very thin, and his face was a little blurry, he tried his best to recall Bailu's expression, it seemed to be serious, and seemed a little warning.

Qi Yin slowly frowned, what can't be touched?

Raising his head, he saw Zhaoming stretching out his hand towards the statue, and the fingertips were about to touch the cold body of Bailu.

Something flashed through his mind like lightning, and Qi Yin shouted loudly: "Don't touch it!"

Zhao Ming happened to touch the statue, and was taken aback by Qi Yin, who hurriedly withdrew his hand and said, "What's the matter? I was curious, so I touched it."

There was silence all around, nothing happened, and everyone looked at him inexplicably.Qi Yin touched her head in embarrassment, and said, "It's nothing...it's nothing..."

At this moment, Zhao Ming's fingers burned without warning, and the blazing flames climbed along his arms, burning his body inch by inch.Everyone turned pale with fright, Zhaoming screamed in horror, his eyes spewed fire, and his whole body was burned into a man of fire.The flesh and blood evaporated like water vapor, and soon turned into a scorched bone. He wailed for help, and wanted to walk towards Qi Yin and the others, but he staggered under his feet, rolled down the stone platform, and fell into the endless abyss.

Qi Lingshu rushed to the edge of the stone platform and hissed, "Zhaoming—"

It was pitch black below, and there was no sound.
