After the abusive husband became enlightened, the fox demon master turned black

Chapter 13 Thirteen, a dream of dry bones and smoke

Sang Mo was stunned and kowtowed and was about to agree, but suddenly someone grabbed him by the collar of his back shirt and lifted him up.

Shen Yanqing protected her in his arms with one hand, and stabbed the little girl in red with the sword in his other hand. The little girl instantly turned into a black shadow and disappeared.

He frowned and touched Sang Mo's forehead with his fingertips.

Sang Mo smelled a nice scent of pine and bamboo in a trance. She raised her head blankly and suddenly saw Shen Yanqing's face that looked exactly like Zelin. Suddenly her nose felt sour and she started crying.

She put her arms around Shen Yanqing's waist and buried herself in his arms, "Master, please don't leave me alone again."

Shen Yanqing heard the words "Master" clearly. He was stunned and reached out to push the person out of his arms.

But Sang Mo's hug was too tight, and he pushed several times without success.

He looked down and saw Sang Mo shaking non-stop, her thin body clinging tightly to him, as if he was her only life-saving straw after drowning.

He was stunned for a moment, and his pushing movement suddenly stopped.

Shen Yanqing, who had always spoken coldly, could not say a word to tell her to let go.

He was stunned for a long time, and finally he could only cough lightly and said with an uncomfortable look on his face: "This is a dream of dry bones and smoke, which can cause people to hallucinate."

"Remember not to promise anything to the people in the illusion, no matter how simple it is."

Hearing these slightly alienated words, Sang Mo paused for a moment, then quickly reacted and quickly let go and stood up, wiping her tears.

"Why?"

Shen Yanqing turned around and said, "If you agree, you have to listen to their instructions."

Sang Mo suddenly remembered that in the pine forest, he came to this place only after agreeing to the little boy's request.

But why is Shen Yanqing here?
Sang Mo quickly followed Shen Yanqing, "Then why are you here again?"

Shen Yanqing did not look back and walked straight towards the village.

During the scorching summer, it was freezing cold here, making people shiver.

The surroundings were silent and empty, with no sound of cicadas or birds.

Shen Yanqing walked in front, turning around several times to ask Sang Mo to catch him, but he swallowed his words every time.

He looked back again, and saw that the little girl's nose and eyes were red, her eyes were wandering, and she stared blankly at a tree and an iron pot next to her from time to time.

Shen Yanqing's eyes darkened, and just when he was about to speak, the ground suddenly shook violently, and countless skeletons broke out of the ground. He shouted in panic: "Come here!"

But there were already seven or eight skeletons between the two of them. They kept cracking their mandibles like a threat, making the sound of "click! click!..." and the sound of bones colliding.

Sang Mo took two steps back and was suddenly grabbed by the ankle by a skeleton that had just emerged from the ground. She looked down and saw that the dirt in the skull's eye frames had not been shaken off, and its moss-covered mouth opened. He was going to bite his calf.

She made a prompt decision and picked up a straight wooden stick and stabbed it. The wooden stick penetrated the skeleton's empty eye socket, just enough to fix it in place and prevent it from moving forward.

The skeleton looked withered and yellow, but it was very hard. The stick only lasted for half a moment before breaking.

Sang Mo quickly pulled his foot back.

But soon another skeleton came forward. Sang Mo raised his other foot and kicked it, but was caught again. She looked towards Shen Yanqing in panic, only to see that he was pushed to the other side by the army of skeletons, and he was unable to do anything.

Sang Mo was so anxious that he lifted up the broken piece of wood and injected spiritual power into it. He swept it across and scattered countless skeletons. At the same time, he was bitten hard on his calf.

She bit her finger and drew a fire talisman in the air.

The huge flames drove back the skeleton army, and Shen Yanqing disappeared.

Sang Mo was limping, calling Shen Yanqing anxiously, and stumbled forward.

The surroundings became silent again. The doors of the houses on both sides of the road were wide open. In each house, facing the door, there was an offering table with the tablets of all the members of that family on it.

Sang Mo became more and more frightened. She glanced around anxiously, looking for Shen Yanqing's figure.

But all she could see were the gloomy memorial tablets, like pairs of dark eyes staring at her. She limped toward the interior of the village with her green sword in hand.

"Sister." A childish voice suddenly sounded.

Sang Mo looked up in the direction of the sound, and saw a five or six-year-old child sitting in front of the ruined well, holding a bucket half as high as himself, looking at him eagerly.

"Sister, can you get me a bucket of water? My mother is still waiting for me to go back and make some medicine!"

Sang Mo didn't speak, just walked towards him in silence.

The little boy suddenly knelt down towards Sang Mo, "Sister, please. The wild vegetables my mother ate last night were poisonous. If I don't take the medicine, my mother will die."

Seeing the boy's skinny appearance, Sang Mo once again thought of the mistakes she and her master had made.

She walked over and stretched out her hand silently, trying to take the bucket from the boy's hand.

But the boy hugged the barrel tightly and asked again: "Is it okay, sister?"

Just as he was about to say the word "yes", Sang Mo reacted suddenly, and Shen Yanqing's warning suddenly rang in his mind: "Remember not to agree to anything to the people in the illusion, no matter how simple it is."

She supported her knees with her hands and leaned down slightly, looking at the child with a smile, "Why would mother eat poisonous wild vegetables?"

The child blinked, "She gave me everything that was not poisonous."

Sang Mo asked again: "Is there nothing else to eat at home?"

The child shook his head: "The crops planted this year will not produce food, and everyone will have nothing to eat."

Like countless needles piercing into his flesh, Sang Mo was stunned.

She endured the pain in her calf and squatted down, eye level with the child, "Tell sister, how many years have you been here?"

The child looked at Sang Mo and said, "It's been 5000 years."

5000 years!
It’s 5000 years! !
Sangmo stood there, and after a while he tentatively said: "Then you are five thousand years old, how come you still can't fetch water?"

The child pouted and thought for a long time and then said: "Because there was a brother general who taught us to chant sutras every day and fed us with blood, so we all became lazy and didn't want to move. Later, after the brother general died, there was a bad Taoist nun guarding us. Us, don’t let us become stronger!”

Brother General? !
Bad Taoist nun? !

Sang Mo grabbed the child's arm, took out a piece of pastry from his sleeve pocket with his other hand, and asked, "What kind of general brother? What does the bad Taoist nun look like?"

After taking the cake, the child tilted his head and thought for a while, "Brother General is Brother General. He is so kind. He can play the flute for us."

"What about the bad Taoist nun?"

"The bad Taoist nun is the lord!"

The child sniffed the cake fiercely and said: "She wanted to marry the general brother, but the general brother didn't like her. After the general brother died, she wore the bride's clothes and waited for him every day."

Sang Mo asked again, "Lord, is she here?"

The child shook his head, "The lord is in the back. She has a bad temper. Sister, don't go to her. Last time..."

Before the child could finish speaking, a ghost woman suddenly appeared and covered his mouth.

"Hey! Why is this little girl so evil!"

The ghost woman glared at Sang Mo, cursed and pulled the child away, "If you don't agree, you won't agree. What are you doing by tricking a child into saying something that offends the lord?!"

Sang Mo said dumbly, "No... you lied to me, and I just asked a few questions. How can I become a bad person?"

The woman sighed, then took the child and disappeared into the air.

Sang Mo was scolded in vain and he still couldn't reason with him, not to mention how depressed he was.

She could only stand up slowly and continue walking forward.
