Copper Coins Chapter 28: Bone (5)

"What's the smell?" Lu Twenqi held his breath when he heard the words. After opening his mouth to say a few words, he silently covered his mouth as if thinking of something, as if he was afraid that something strange would enter his mouth.

However, after being yelled at by Jiang Shining, Xue Xian, whose five senses were sharper than ordinary people, including Xuan Min, could vaguely smell a faint...

"The smell of grass and trees." Xue Xian suddenly said.

The smell is like the sap of the grass and trees that comes out after rubbing some leaves and grass stems. It was very weird.

Jiang Shining was born in a family of doctors and grew up in various herbal medicines. Even if he thinks he is far worse than his parents, he can still be regarded as a researcher. Presumably he is far more sensitive to the smell of plants and trees than ordinary people, and he is very good at distinguishing them. He suddenly blurted out such a sentence, and the strangeness was even more.

"It's not necessary to cover your nose and mouth." Instigated by Xue Xian, Jiang Shining boldly climbed out of Xuanmin's secret pocket and poked his head. He saw Lu Twenqi at a glance, and he waved his paper-like hand. , said: "You must not be familiar with this smell. To be honest, I don't smell much, but I have seen people who died because of it twice, so I am impressed. I don't know if you have ever heard of a poison. , the common saying is 'seven up, eight down, nine out of life', which means that if you are poisoned by this poison, you will die if you go up the mountain seven steps, go down the mountain eight steps, and no more than nine steps at most."

"Isn't this sealing the throat with blood?" Xue Xian said, "I've heard of some."

Jiang Shining gave a "uh", "That's right, you came from the south, the tree can live in the south, but it won't live long here. Generally, if it is to be used for serious medicine, it has to wait for summer and autumn. Buy some from the drug dealers in the south."

This person always said a few words or two, and he couldn't help but go back to medicine and medicine.

"Can you talk about the key points a few years ago?" Xue Xian said coldly.

"..." Jiang Shining stopped and said dryly: "Don't touch anything around, I suspect that the stone walls of the tomb, even the feet and the top of the head, are smeared with the tree sap. We all have wounds on our bodies. Up and down, and a few more steps, you should be hard."

The more he spoke, the quieter he became. Just because he was talking, that Lu Shijiu turned around and looked at him with a pair of dark blind eyes, and then the old man Liu slowly turned his face, those turbid old eyes stared at him motionless, and finally even Xuan Min came up. And looked down at him.

"You—" He muttered two words, and finally coughed dryly, and cowardly shrank back from the edge of his pocket, "Stop staring at me, I'll go to the bottom of the pocket and lay it sideways, you guys be more careful. "

Xuan Min raised his eyes, his gaze swept across Shi Jiu and Old Man Liu, and landed on Shi Qi again.

Since the pool entered this iron gate, the order of everyone has changed a bit. Originally, Lu Shijiu and Liu Laotou were the leaders, Xuan Min followed unhurriedly, Jiang Shining and Lu Twenqi were behind him. Xuan Min, who lives in the middle, has the meaning of a barrier inexplicably.

But now it's not the case. Lu Shijiu and Liu old man are still walking in the forefront regardless, but the one who follows slowly becomes Lu Jiuqi. Xuanmin no longer acts as that "barrier". ”, but spontaneously walked at the end of the team, helping everyone beware of behind.

Lu Twenty-seven was covering his mouth and nose before, but now he has put his hands down. He turned his head back halfway through Jiang Shining's speech, turned his back to Xuanmin, and faced Nineteen in front of him, his eyes never changing. Staring at his blind brother.

Nineteen didn't look at him.

After Jiang Shining finished reminding everyone, he quietly turned around and continued to walk towards the other end of the steps.

The flame between Xuan Min's fingers occasionally jumped, and the dim yellow flame was thrown forward from the back, and the last light just happened to land on the bottom of Nineteen's feet. There is a large darkness in front of him, and a warm yellow light behind him. Every step he takes, he just steps on the junction of light and darkness.

The clothes on the back of his neck were torn a lot, and the loose hair half covered his pale neck, casting a large shadow, so that in the dim firelight, if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't see what was wrong there.

And Lu Twenty-seven's head was unusually thin and small, and it was a few steps lower, so he couldn't see it over his shoulders.

As Jiang Shining reminded, this tomb is probably covered with sap that sees blood and seals the throat. The closer it is to the outside, the more obvious this smell is.

"It's here." The frontmost Lu Nineteen stood at the top of the steps and said with his back to the crowd, "This is the last section opposite the tomb passage in front. Although I haven't reached the end, I guess Open another stone gate and you can go out."

Although I never came to an end...

This may sound okay at first, but after thinking about it again, it feels wrong - since you've already come here and seen the stone gate, why not just walk to the end and go straight out?

Old man Liu also stood at the top of the steps. From Xuanmin's point of view, he could see that he was half-faced, staring at a certain part of the tomb in front of him in a daze, appearing to be distracted and in a trance .

Lu Nineteen did not step forward, but turned his head to look at Twenty-Seven quietly behind him.

"What do you do when you stare at me, anyway, you can only see the qi, but not the face." Lu Twenqi paused, his voice hoarse. For some reason, his voice was inexplicably... trembling, as if with a layer of uncontrollable sadness and fear, "Don't look, you're leaving, what are you doing here? Go out and talk, I'm too lazy to listen. You are babbling now."

Nineteen said lightly, "I can see your face, but I can't see it clearly."

He directly skipped the second half of the twenty-seventh sentence. He lowered his head and took out the wooden branch he always used in his arms. The red rope tied in the middle had faded a little. There are no traces of it, and it can be seen that it is indeed a good thing.

"You can take this sling." Nineteen said, and handed the wooden branch to Twenty-seven.

Twenty-seven frowned and moved away, then lowered his eyes and stared at his feet, with an indescribable irritability in his tone: "I don't want it, you take it yourself! Why should I take things for you... You don't talk too much. , Jing is blocking the road, hurry forward, what are you doing standing up?!"

Nineteen suddenly held the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly: "I'm not leaving."

This is about the years when the brothers lived together, Lu Shijiu rarely laughed, but Lu Twenqi didn't see it. He lowered his eyes and frowned, without looking at Nineteen, he let out a heavy sigh: "Why don't you go, don't be so unreasonable..."

When he raised his eyes again, the circles around his eyes were already red, and he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gave Nineteen a shove as he said, "You're--let's go!"

The firelight in Xuan Min's hand reflected just right on Lu Shijiu's face. He saw some slight changes on his originally pale face, and there were some faint traces in the court, as if it was faintly growing. New moles appeared, which happened to be scattered in the Palace of Life, exactly the same as the original one on Lu Twenqi's forehead.

"I can meet you obviously, why don't you go?" Lu Twenqi red eyes, stalked his neck to look at Nineteen, and he couldn't hold back the choking in his throat as he spoke. He repeated this sentence twice, and seemed to convince himself: "Look, I can hold your hand, you are no different from ordinary people. It's not that... is it that ghosts can't be touched... …”

He was stubborn and stared at Lu Nineteen, but found that his eyes were blurred, and he couldn't even see Lu Nineteen's appearance. He sniffed, reached out and wiped his eyes, wiping the water in his hand. However, when he looked up again, he couldn't see clearly.

"Stop rubbing." Lu Shijiu sighed very lightly, and simply shoved the wooden branch in his hand directly into Twenty-seven's arms, and tugged at Twenty-seven's hand, forcing him to step up a few more times. step.

The more he said don't knead, the more violently Lu Twenqi kneaded. In the end, he stood still with the back of his hand covering his eyes.

Old man Liu, who was beside him, took a few steps forward with a slow reaction, and bent down by a wall. After a while, he went back to the steps and stuffed the things in his hand to Lu Twenqi.

"This is Uncle Liu's purse. It contains the boat money he collected a few days ago, and some medicinal seeds collected on the island. You can bring it back to Aunt Liu, it will make her headache less severe." Lu Shijiu spoke for the old man Liu, after a moment of silence, he said, "I have nothing to give you..."

He put his hand on Twenty-seven's head, "I'm going to find my father. In the future, don't forget to burn some paper for us in the Qingming and Zhongyuan days. After burning it, I will bless you with happiness and longevity and full of children and grandchildren."

After speaking, he patted three times and withdrew his hand.

Lu Twenty-seven felt the coolness on the top of his head dissipate, followed by a sudden emptiness in his heart. He hurriedly wiped his tears, looked up to find it, but found that his eyes were still a little blurry.

He discerned for a while in the dim light through the fog-like blur, and found that Lu Shijiu and Old Man Liu, who had been in front of him, had quietly disappeared. He wiped his tears again, and only then saw a black shadow on the ground two feet away.

Xuan Min lifted his heels and walked over, and as soon as the fire shone, he saw two people lying down by the wall of the tomb.

The smell of grass and sap on the stone wall is more obvious than before, and the closer it is, the clearer it is. He glanced at the blood stains on the wall, and he was convinced - there were wounds on his back, neck or other places, which were pressed against the wall, and the poisonous juice was soaked in.

When Lu Nineteen fell, a circle of blood was drawn on the ground beside his fingers, surrounding a complex spell, which looked shocking at first glance.

Twenty-seven's vision is blurred and can't see clearly. He wanted to pull Lu Shijiu who was falling down, but he entered that circle unintentionally.

Xuan Min saw that the blood circle that had turned brown suddenly came alive, and the 27th Court Life Palace and the scratched palm also glowed with blood, but in the blink of an eye it dimmed again.

A faint mist flowed out of Lu Jiu's mouth, whose body was already stiff and cold, and circled around Twenty-seven three times, as if he had finally completed a certain ceremony. He bowed slightly in Xuanmin's direction, the last busy , it is over.

If it wasn't for the Lu family and his son, he might have died in that abandoned temple thirteen years ago. Today, life-for-life is worth a lot for him, and he gets what he wants.

It's just that in the future, in the night river of Zhongyuan, I have to put an extra lamp on the twenty-seventh day. I don't know if he will cry...

The moment the fog dissipated and the life-changing was completed, the tomb suddenly became cloudy.

Perhaps the reversal of yin and yang, such as life-for-life, touched the three hundred souls in this tomb, and then I heard a sudden gust of wind whistling behind me. With a sound, he threw his hood behind them.

Xuan Min patted Twenty-seven on the shoulder, and was about to say, "Come on," when something came rushing behind him, and the wind from the movement had an indescribably decadent smell, making one almost suffocate.

The people in those stone statues may have had problems with their legs and feet when they were alive. In just the blink of an eye, Wu Yingyao jumped out of the stairs one after another. One is good, two are worth it, dozens or hundreds of such Infernal corpses rushed over, making it hard to resist.

Don't talk about two hands, even eight hands can't take care of it!

At this moment, the tomb passage seems cramped, leaving people nowhere to go and nowhere to escape.

Xuan Min grabbed the copper coin string from his waist, and his frowning expression showed a trace of unwillingness. I don't know if I don't want to use it, or it's inconvenient to use, or... I can't use it.

The more and more corpses gathered, the dense mahjong filled the entire tomb to the brim and surrounded several people.

The perimeter tightened a little bit, the Yin corpse slowly bowed, the waist gathered power, and the soles of the feet kicked, and it rushed towards Xuan Min like a black wave.

"The bald donkey?!" Xue Xian, who was in the dark pocket, was dizzy and dizzy. He only felt a **** smell diffused around him. Medicinal flavor. Xuan Min's waist and abdomen suddenly trembled, and it became hot between his fingers, a little hotter than when he was cooking Xue Xian before.

I don't know if it was hot or for some other reason, Xue Xian's heart skipped a beat and he was suddenly empty.

Then the smell of blood was a little heavier.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, how can you go out alive?

Actually, as far as Xue Xian is concerned, he is just a gold bead, and there is absolutely no talk of life and death. Taking a ten thousand steps back, even if it involves life and death, his life span of a real dragon is almost headless, and he can always seize a chance to get out of here.

Therefore, the so-called "can't get out alive" is pure nonsense to him, and it is also nonsense to Jiang Shining, who has long died.

There are only two that really need to be alive here.

Lu Twenty-seven...and the bald donkey.

The former has nothing to do with him, the latter... the latter is just some inexplicable entanglement, Xue Xian did not understand why he felt that the situation was urgent.

But anyway, he was in a hurry. So he tried his best to get Jiang Shining to push him, and took the opportunity to turn it out from Xuan Min's secret pocket. When he came out, he was still carrying the residual heat from Xuan Min's waist, which made him feel inexplicable. I don't know if it's because the things I inhaled before have finally been digested...

"When—" When Jin Zhu fell to the ground, Xue Xian happened to look up.

He saw that Xuanmin Yunxue-like monk's robe was half stained with blood, and the flames between his fingers were still there. For some reason, it was beating violently, as if a beast was about to struggle out of the iron chain. The infernal corpse surrounded him almost up and down, and he couldn't tell whether it was tearing or biting. On the other hand, Xuan Min's expression was still indifferent, as if not only other people were indistinguishable in his eyes, but even his own life was indistinguishable in his eyes.

When Xue Xian landed, he didn't know if Xuanmin heard him or not, but he moved his finger holding the flame twice.

Jinzhu rolls hastily on the ground, like a fly, and seems to be planning something. I saw it bypassing the tangled legs and feet of the corpse, and suddenly slammed into the wall of the tomb.

Boom-

The stone tomb shook suddenly, as if it had suffered a fatal blow.

Xue Xian was dumbfounded: "..." Can I hit this effect? !

Although Jinzhu can indeed have that much strength, but when it twists and turns back and forth, when it really hits the wall, it must not be able to exert much force. He was going to hit it a few times and exert his strength a little bit. When the strength is really used, let alone this one tomb, he can blow up ten tombs.

But if he didn't knock it out this time, who was it?

Xue Xian ignored him and bumped twice.

Boom-

The stone tomb was shaken again. Countless rubble fell from the dome, and Xue Xian's face was covered in ashes.

Even though he didn't have a real mouth at this time, he still subconsciously made a "bah" twice, then rolled around and turned to look at Xuan Min - if it wasn't for him, then the tomb would have been thrown out. With such an effect, it is probably only this bald donkey.

As expected, through the claws of the corpse, Xue Xian saw Xuan Min trace a circle on his copper coin string with his **** fingers, and the five coins instantly had a **** edge. .

I don't know if it was Xue Xian's illusion or not. In this extremely dark place, Xuanmin's five copper coins that used to be dusty actually glowed a little oily yellow, as if they were suddenly polished with blood. .

Seeing Xuanmin's thumb slammed on one of the copper coins, the red blood poured out instantly, washing the whole copper coin again.

Boom-

This time, the entire tomb shook violently like an earthquake, and the amplitude was so great that Xue Xian rolled back and forth, almost spitting out the bead of water.

Xuan Min put one hand on the copper coin, and the other hand holding the flame on his chest, as if making a Buddha salute in the blood. He saw that his eyes were half-closed, and his lips moved silently a few times.

There was a loud noise in the entire tomb, the gravel splashed all over the sky, the dust filled the air, and the sky collapsed.

Then, cold water poured over the gravel, submerging them all at the snap of a finger.

Although this water is equally gloomy and cold, it is very different from the stagnant water in the previous pool, with a fresh cold air, like the first north wind blowing in winter.

This is a real living river!

The moment Xue Xian fell into the water, he thought blankly: That bald donkey robbed me of my work, and actually blew up the tomb...

However, before he could finish his sigh, he realized that Xuan Min not only blew up the tomb, but also blew up the entire grave head island...

The rocks were mixed with soil and trees and fell, and the mighty army of Infernal corpses was huge.

Xue Xian was at a loss for words when he felt the river surging under him.

It seems that the burial chamber was bombed so that the Baixie Stream Bureau was destroyed, causing the entire river to be turbulent and causing a huge vortex. There are countless dark vortices around and coming here.

Everyone, together with the shattered stone corpse, was thrown into confusion by this sky-shattering vortex.

During the intense dizziness, Xue Xian was quite annoyed. After digesting the things that he had sucked into the golden beads, there was finally some movement—at the moment of his anger, the hot air that was sucked from Xuan Min’s waist swept away in the golden beads, causing his whole body to swell. Pain, as if about to break apart the bound skin and open the flesh.

In an instant, the long sky above the river suddenly gathered black clouds, and the pale white light slashed down from the sky. The thunder was like a galloping horse, rolling down from the nine sky and hitting the river.

The torrential rain poured down in an instant, and the water mist suddenly appeared, and the entire river surface was misty, making it almost impossible to distinguish people.

Then, a faint clear whistling sound came from the bottom of the river, and a huge long shadow loomed in the thick water mist.

It took a long stroke, and the vortex slammed into the bottom of the river, with countless corpses and mud stones, like a water dragon, it slammed into the mud at the bottom of the river.

Six feet of loess buried one person, sixty feet of river bottom soil, I wonder if it can bury these three hundred Huangquan souls.

On the side bank of Jiang Dao, someone who didn't have time to hide from the rain was lying on the courtyard wall, holding a plum blossom branch in his hand, and pointed blankly at Jiang Tian in the distance, and said to his parents who hurriedly hugged him: " Dragon—"

The couple turned their heads to look subconsciously, and saw a long shadow looming in the thick fog, riding a cloud and thunder all the way up, then turned their heads and jumped into the Haoran River: "Heaven, it's really a dragon..."
