Chapter 26: The remains

The strange baby was not dead, so when the incense head touched it, it made a deafening sound of the baby crying, twisting the little monkey's body hard, and exuding extreme fear and reluctance in its eyes.

But this is useless. It is like a piece of ice. When it encounters incense, it melts rapidly, expands from one point to a hole, and then penetrates the body by the incense and continues to expand. The body is burned and broken from the middle until it completely transforms into invisible, becoming a stream of clear smoke dissipates in the air.

At this point, all the talents present finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the one we met and faced against was a monster with such strong strength. We could finally defeat it, relying entirely on Uncle Bao’s calculations, as well as our cooperation and luck. If we did this again, we wouldn’t know what the outcome would be!

But what I wondered about was why there was no movement under my feet. Judging from the excitement and sadness of the female ghost just now, it was impossible for the death of this strange baby to not cause any damage to her, but why did she not respond?

Is it hopeful! Does a ghost have hope?

Uncle Bao on the other side was not very happy to see him. He subdued such a powerful ghost demon, and still had a calm and even dull expression. Even Bao Datong didn't talk much, silently packed up the things scattered on the ground, including the incense that was consumed even after burning.

After sitting underground for a while, Azhan suddenly said "huh", stood up and ran to the place where the strange baby disappeared just now, 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, dragged into Uncle Bao's palm. If it weren't for the refraction of the sunlight that made it feel contoured, others wouldn't see anything in his palm. It was as pure as a water bead in water, and it was extremely fusion 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 ghost-demonic energy on it, it must have fallen from his body when he refined the monster baby. But how can you see it? You are born with yin and yang eyes, but I didn't expect that your natural ability is so strong that you can even see hidden objects. It's amazing!"

"What exactly is this?" Bao Datong stretched out his head.

"Well - it should be the inner alchemy that ghosts practice, but I don't understand why she, an ordinary ghost, practiced this, and was so clean. Although she might have passed away for a long time, I guess that strange baby dared to run out during the day because she got this treasure." Uncle Bao explained.

"But if you give the inner alchemy to others, won't it be easy for you to die?" Bao Datong asked.

"So, the female ghost must have something to do with the strange baby's life experience. Maybe it's really a mother and son."

"Do you want to see?" Bao Datong asked again.

"Uncle, we still have friends trapped." Ashan interrupted, "If they were not dead, please save the person to 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 me.

He walked around the hole in the ground carefully for a few times, as if judging the situation below, and after a while, he said, "This hole is too small, we can't get in, and the situation is not clear."

"Are you going to dig a ghost nest?" Bao Datong said excitedly. This made me feel a little disgusted with him. My friends' lives and death are uncertain. My heart is always hanging. I don't know what they are like, what Nana is like, how can he show such a game attitude towards life?!

"I have ghostly aura, but it's mixed and weak. I think you'd better go down and take a look first." Uncle Bao said.

I looked at Bao Datong and saw that although he was a little thinner than Azhan and me, he was also a middle-sized young man. He could not get in at this small hole no matter what. Then I explained that the situation below was unclear, how could Uncle Bao be willing to let his son go down to do the little white mouse for experiments?!

"Is this too dangerous?" Azhan said what I thought.

"It's okay." Uncle Bao smiled, took Bao Datong's so-called "seven-colored sword" with the rust iron sword, and first scratched it at my feet, "Wanli, you can leave this circle." He said.

When I heard this, I subconsciously raised my foot and walked out, but I saw that the red circle under my feet had disappeared completely, as if it had never existed. My feet were already numb because I stood here for a long time!

As soon as I left, Bao Datong sat cross-legged there!

"It's not that the place where your feet stand is noble, but the direction here is just right." He explained with a smile, and before I could refute him, he slowly closed his eyes, like an old monk entering into meditation, and soon became as quiet as a stone, and seemed to have entered the state of forgetting things. This made me admire him a little, and I felt that although he hated him, his body and emotional state changed so quickly, and obviously his emotional intelligence was very high.

Uncle Bao, who saw that Bao Datong was ready, took out a piece of talisman paper from his big cloth pocket. However, this time he did not let the talisman burn, but put it on Bao Datong's head. Then he took three steps back and gestured with the iron sword. It was still like a strange dance, slowly waved his arms, turned around, and stamped his feet--

He was muttering something, very light, not as loud as when dealing with strange babies, and a bit like murmuring. But this seemed a bit surprising to me, because although I knew that they were different from Azhan's sect, I never thought that there was such a big difference. Azhan always drew talismans in the void, his movements were quite casual and a little indifferent, while the Bao family and his son had complicated rituals and felt a bit funny.

Uncle Bao continued to recite, and the straight tone made me drowsy. But when I felt a little fighting with my eyelids, he suddenly jumped up and raised his iron sword to stab Bao Datong in the chest!

This scene almost made me scream. Fortunately, Azhan pulled me aside, and I saw clearly that Uncle Bao's sword hit his son's chest and stopped. However, he took action too ruthlessly and quickly just now. I didn't expect him to be so snatched. He thought he was possessed and wanted to stage a child-killing scene!

The tip of the iron sword gently stabbed Bao Datong's heart, which would not hurt him, but would press his body, making him closely connected with the sword through a thin layer of clothes.

Uncle Bao continued to chant. Although I still couldn't hear what he was chanting, I felt that he had used another spell instead. After about a minute, the iron sword suddenly lit up, and kept shaking, and made a 'buzzing' sound.

"Okay, go, don't be playful, come back quickly!" Uncle Bao suddenly spoke to the sword, his tone was kind and worried, which made me stunned.

"Wait a minute." Seeing Uncle Bao take out a ball of red rope and tie one to the hilt of the sword, Azhan was about to put the sword down from the hole with a diameter of only one foot. He seemed to understand Uncle Bao's actions and quickly stopped him. Then he lay on the ground without thinking and threw the blood-wood sword in his hand down.

"Azhan, what are you doing?" I was startled, but I had no time to stop it. You should know that the Blood Wood Sword was a relic left to him by his father. He would never leave him even if he died, so he threw it into this hole for some reason.

"Azhan, you don't have to do this. You have to know that this is a strange treasure in the Taoist world." Uncle Bao was stunned for a moment, as if he understood Azhan's intention, and said with relief.

"I will get it back!" As Zhan said, he retreated back to his original place and stopped talking. Seeing Uncle Bao carefully put the sword down the hole, and after the sword body was completely sinking, he would slowly relax the red rope in his 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 take extreme care of his facial expressions, and he had to listen with his ears and feel attentively. Until the red rope in his hand was only the last piece in his hand, he stopped putting it and held it tightly!

"Bao Datong, he-" I turned around and looked at Azhan and couldn't help asking.

I saw Bao Datong sitting there like a stone sculpture for a long time, and now it seemed that he had no breathing. In addition, Uncle Bao's unusual expression, he suddenly realized that Bao Datong might have left his body, so he possessed himself on the sword first, and then went down to check the situation. This is why Azhan threw the Blood Wood Sword into the hole. He wanted to use the Blood Wood Sword's natural ability to exorcise evil spirits to open a way for Bao Datong!

Azhan nodded and then looked at the entrance of the cave.

I saw the red rope struggled twice, as if I had to move forward. Uncle Bao approached the hole and put the red rope as long as possible, but when his hand had reached the hole, he never loosened it again, and stayed like that for a long time before pulling it back twice.

"Come back!" He said, and began to retreat. The red rope gradually became softer as if consciously, as if an invisible person was standing there operating, circled and circled the ground, and then the sword body began to appear at the entrance of the cave.

Uncle Bao took the sword step by step, reached out to grab the sword, looked up and down a few times with a little nervousness, and then showed a relieved smile on his face, aiming the tip of the sword at the chest of the "human sculpture". Seeing the sword body shimmering and trembling again, Bao Datong woke up leisurely.

"The situation is quite complicated." He said after a breath of breath, afraid that others would steal the words, which shows how much this person loves to speak.

"Oh, why is the complicated method?" Seeing that Azhan and I were not talking, Uncle Bao had to cooperate with his son.

"There are three ghosts and a dozen living people who are possessed by evil spirits below!"

"real?"

"Let's go right now!"

As soon as Bao Datong said the second sentence, Azhan and I answered almost at the same time.

Bao Datong looked at us proudly, as if he said, "Don't you like to talk to me?"

"Datong, don't keep it a secret, talk quickly!" Uncle Bao urged, with a little blame in his tone, "It is a good idea for us to help the poor and the needy. How do you use it to fight against the angst?"

Bao Datong stuck out his tongue and started talking slowly.

It turned out that under the ground of this stone, there was a large stone tomb, which almost extended to the bottom of the pool. However, the waterproof layer of this stone tomb is very well done, and is located under the pool all year round. Apart from being damp, there are no traces of water seepage.

There are three ghosts in the tomb, one is a female ghost in a gorgeous costume, but since Bao Datong went down, she just sat blankly without any reaction. The other seemed to be her maid, and the other was a newly dead male ghost, who was a young man, probably Zhao Jiang. Because Azhan happened to throw the Blood Wood Sword at the entrance of the tomb, they shrank them in the corner of the wall. They dared not move at all, and they seemed to have no evil spirit or resentment.

"You have to find a way to go in at dawn, otherwise how can you rescue your companions?" I asked anxiously, "How about digging out from this hole?"

"All said, there are large stone slabs underneath, and the waterproofing work is done quite well, and it is not easy to dig, unless you use blasting, or you need to have the ability of that strange baby to rush out of the soil!"

"Just tell me what to do!" Azhan was also very anxious.

"When I was downstairs, I saw the robbers. It seemed that to have been visited by the tomb robbers. Just three hundred meters to the left of this exit, there must be a covered hole. If we want to go, we will enter from there."

"Okay, let's go now!" I turned around and was about to leave, but Uncle Bao pulled me back.

"Take a slow start, young people, don't be impulsive, you still have to do it in advance. You should at least get some lighting, right?"

When I heard this, I hurriedly found several large flashlights from the things we discarded, and regretted it, thinking that if I could calm down last night and bring some equipment, I might be in better condition.

When we were looking for something, Uncle Bao took the small flags and chanted the mantra, and carefully laid it around the hole.

Bao Datong had a strong sense of direction, so we quickly found the hole thief, but the hole was so small that we could only crawl in. This made me suffer from broken wrist and ribs. I think Azhan was also in great pain because I could hear his heavy breathing.

When we tried our best to go in, we found that the tomb chamber was very large, as if it was built by a very rich family. And because it had been dug up long ago, it was a little ventilated. In addition, the tomb chamber was very clean and there was no such messy situation as stolen.

"I really don't understand why it is so strange under the pool in the valley. This is a very unlucky place according to Feng Shui." Bao Datong could always ask the questions in my heart first, "It is already heavy in yin, and water belongs to yin. If it is added to yin, it is still in this valley. Isn't this the people buried here never reborn? And, if it is not reasonable to say that it is done by relatives, if it is done by enemies, why should such a good tomb be built? It's so strange!"

"You'll know if you ask." A Zhan thought Bao Datong was talking too much and was a little impatient, so he took the lead in entering the second tomb.

As soon as I entered, I almost shouted out!

Through the bright light of the large flashlight, we saw a row of people sitting on the ground, densely packed, and at first glance, all of which were in one position and one expression, staring in one direction without blinking, just like the kind of dead people who were buried with them, and like a bunch of dolls. If the person who suddenly broke in was timid, he would be scared to death.

"Nana!" I recognized a girl in the middle at a glance, who was my sweetheart, Azhan's girlfriend.

"I said it, young people should keep calm." Uncle Bao stopped me again, "They are not in danger for the time being, so I'd better go inside first."

Without letting me tell, I was pulled to the last tomb.

It is very large, but also very empty. Apart from a large coffin in the middle, there are only three ghosts.

The Blood Wood Sword is right at the door of the tomb, so there are two ghosts squatting in front of the corner of the wall. One is a thin woman in ancient costume, shrank slightly, and the other is also thin, but she is looking at us with a eager look. It is Zhao Jiang!

Third, wearing gorgeous red clothes that seem to never fade, the long hair of her face blocked her face!

"Is this yours?" Uncle Bao, who kept saying he wanted to take his time, suddenly took out the bead.

During the day, it cannot be seen, but in this dark tomb, it emits a pearl-like brilliance!

The third ghost didn't say anything.

Uncle Bao asked again and took a step forward.
Chapter completed!
