Bone Picker

Chapter 37 Cliff Cave Burial?
"Run." I yelled to Zibuyu: "This is Jiuyou Soul Control Song, with the sound of the flute, the formation is activated."

But it seemed to be too late, the nine bones had already stood up, completely blocking the road ahead of us, they walked slowly towards me and Zibuyu, the sound of bones rubbing against the ground came from under their feet.

click, click, click...

I took a step back and retreated directly to the passageway behind.

Because I know the horror of these bones.

These people were nailed into the soul nails alive, and their bodies were soaked in a special liquid. After seven to seventy-nine days, after air-drying, they were neither rotten nor bad.

At this moment, the bones are awakened by the sound of the flute, and they will have a strong sense of hunger, but any living thing with yang energy on its body will become their target of attack.

They are unconscious, and their bodies are extremely strong. With our current strength, it is difficult to control them.

Unexpectedly, without saying a word, instead of retreating, Zi Zi stabbed towards the nearest bone with a sword.

With a crisp sound, the tip of the sword unexpectedly sparked.

He was taken aback, backed away, opened his mouth wide and said, "So hard?"

"I told you, it's not easy to hit. This bone has been soaked in a special potion, and the body is made of copper and iron, and ordinary swords can't cut through it at all."

"Then you didn't say it earlier." At the same time as he was speaking, the bone beast had already arrived and rushed towards us, baring its teeth and claws, and opened its bloody mouth.

Zibuyu raised his foot and kicked towards Gu Feng's chest.

This kick needs to have at least five hundred catties of strength, and Zibuyu has practiced it before.

Gu Feng retreated three or four steps, and Zibuyu was also shocked to retreat again and again. When he reached me, I was resisted to stabilize his body.

"Fuck, my legs are numb." Zibuyu had seen the strength of Gu Feng, and said, "How did you come up with such a thing?"

"Hey, don't talk about it for now, track down the whereabouts of the flute and find out who is manipulating these bones."

"Okay." Zi and I trotted into the passage without saying a word. His right leg was numb and he could only drag the ground.

Before leaving, Zibuyu took out a yellow talisman from his pocket, threw it towards the chasing bone man, held the sword in his left hand, pinched the finger of the sword with his right hand, pointed at the yellow talisman, and gave a soft drink: "burst."

Clap!
The yellow talisman burned directly in the air.

The moment the yellow talisman burned, although it looked ordinary on the surface.

But in fact, a positive explosion has already occurred.

Ignite the surrounding yang in the air together to produce an invisible lethality, and use yang to overcome yin.

This strength is stronger than the time I dealt with Mu'e, this talisman should be the talisman drawn by Zibuyu with his own blood.

I saw those bones were tense all over, with abnormally ferocious expressions, obviously the power generated by the yang explosion made them very painful.

The yellow talisman burns for less than ten seconds, but this also buys us time.

I walked forward with the miner's lamp, and Zibuyu followed behind.

He complained as he walked, "Why did your Li family come up with such a wicked thing?"

I don't even know how to answer!

The ancestors must have had their original intention and purpose in creating this formation.

Although the method is very cruel, since this formation has been created, it must have its meaning of existence.

Just like now, it is used to protect and prevent others from entering.

After walking about a hundred meters along the passage, I looked back and found that Gu Feng hadn't caught up, but the sound of the flute was still echoing in the air.

"Who is playing the flute?" Zibu was out of breath, still guarding the rear with a sword in his hand.

"I don't know." I stopped, my little heart was beating non-stop, and I was out of breath.

"No." Zibuyu suddenly said: "You said that this is the original formation of your Li family, so this Nine Nether Soul Control Song should only be known by your Li family. You are not the only one left in your Li family. Yet?"

"This is what I'm wondering about. My grandfather and I are the only ones in our Li family. My grandfather has passed away. I'm the only one who can play the flute. How can there be others? That's why I'm going to find out who is playing the flute. ' I explained.

"Then you understand the Soul Control Song, why didn't you just take action?"

"Of course I understand, but I just haven't practiced it, and the other party is playing Requiem to control the bones, and if I play Requiem, the bones will be messed up and completely out of control. That's even more terrifying."

"So that's how it is." Zibuyu suddenly realized that being out of control is indeed more terrifying than being under control.

Before we knew it, we had come to the end of the passage.

It was a huge natural cave, bigger than a football field.

It's just that when I took a miner's lamp to shine it on, the sight in front of me shocked me and Zi Buyu.

The karst cave is a circular karst cave. The cliff walls of the karst cave are all stone walls.

There is a coffin on every two stone pillars.

Looking around, the cliffs of the entire cave are densely packed with coffins, and the number cannot be counted.

My grandfather's note reads 'Don't open the coffin, it's a big disaster. '

I guess it is a coffin, why are there so many coffins, at least a few hundred.

These coffins are stacked one by one, with different styles and colors.

Some coffins had fallen from above and fell to the ground, and the coffin boards were scattered all over the floor.

Between the gaps in the coffin boards, many bones were exposed.

"Why are there so many coffins? Cliff cave burials?" Zibuyu walked to the middle of the cave and looked up at the coffins on the four walls.

"Seems to be."

All over the country, burials are generally done in the ground, but in Fujian Province, there are also cliff cave burials.

It is to build a stone pillar on the cliff, then place the coffin on the stone pillar, and let the corpse dry through weathering.

The more famous cliff caves in Fujian Province are buried in Wuyi Mountain, but there are usually dozens of coffins in one place at most. It is really rare to see hundreds of coffins buried together like the ones in front of us.

The most important thing is the general cliff cave burial, the choice is the cliff, and it must be in a ventilated place.

But the cliff cave in front of him is obviously sealed, and there is no ventilation at all.

"Could this be a place similar to a ancestral hall in a village or family, where the dead of the family or the village are buried?" I guessed.

The clan culture here in Fujian Province is very strong, and it is basically centered on the clan, united with the outside world, and safeguarding the interests of the clan members within the clan.

Each clan will set up an ancestral hall, which is used to place the bones, ashes and tablets of the deceased clan members.

If there is a major event in the clan, the clan members will be called to the clan meeting to find a solution in front of the spirit of the deceased ancestor.

The cliff cave burial in front of me is somewhat similar to this kind of place.

Zibuyu walked to the side of those scattered coffins, reached out and grabbed a few bones, and took a closer look.

I walked over and took a miner's lamp to shine on those bones.

"Huh?" I squinted my eyes and found that the periosteum of the bone was dark, indicating that the deceased died of poisoning.

Zibuyu grabbed the bones of other coffins to check, and found that these bones were also black.

"That's not right." Zibuyu said in surprise, "Every one of the dead died of poisoning, and have you noticed that there are marks on the bodies of these dead who were cut by swords, look at the wounds on the bones."

I frowned, and sure enough, I found that almost every skeleton had traces of sword cuts.

This shows that these people did not die naturally, but were killed, poisoned to death...
