Chapter 22 Cave 2
Although they were talking about digging, they couldn't do it without tools, so the three of them had to return to the village temporarily to prepare to go up the mountain the next day.
Meng Jiu was the first to open the door. Song Xiao, who was behind him, felt his footsteps pause and was about to ask what was wrong. But soon, Meng Jiu entered the house as usual, and Song Xiao did not
Asked again. After Song Xiao returned to the house, Meng Jiu carefully slipped out of the guest room where he and Du Yiyu were staying. He dug something out of his bag and held it in his arms. Then, he pushed open the door.
Carefully walked to the yard. In the guest room, Du Yiyu was making the bed and getting ready to sleep. He also saw the guy outside. Just as Meng Jiu was about to deal with it, he was happy to sleep lazily.
The moonlight in the yard was as bright as silver. A sycamore tree stood majestically in the corner of the yard, whispering with the sound of the wind. Meng Jiu patted the trunk of the sycamore tree and murmured: "It's not a bird, why are you hiding up there?
?”
"Hey, it's not easy for you to find me." A young man jumped down confidently, waved his hand and cast a soundproofing spell to surround the two of them.
Meng Jiu looked at the young man's face curiously. He was handsome and smart, especially his eyes, which were extremely lively: "Is this your true face as a human? Daoist Master Hu?"
"Of course, besides me, no vixen can have such an outstanding face!"
Meng Jiu sighed. It was the first time he met someone who was more conceited than him. No, he was a goblin! Moreover, this guy was a bit like him - he was very good at pretending! Especially a Taoist priest!
"Why are you sneaking here? To take revenge for what happened during the day?"
"Originally, yes, but" the vixen shrugged: "I have changed my mind."
"oh?"
"I'm here to mourn for you." The vixen made a gesture of worship and said with a cunning light flashing in his eyes: "I heard that you are going to take care of the back mountain? Alas, your life is not long."
"Do you know what's in the back mountain?" A voice suddenly sounded, startling the two people and the demon who were in the soundproofing spell. Meng Jiu looked at Du Yiyu who was walking over in relief and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. What is this guy's ability?
How big is it? You can actually hear the conversation under the soundproofing spell!
The vixen looked at Du Yiyu seriously for a long time, and said loudly: "My dear, you are very powerful!" Suddenly pointed at Meng Jiu: "You are much more powerful than him!"
Du Yiyu smiled: "Thank you very much"
Meng Jiu snorted coldly: "Thank you for pointing it out, but I don't feel bad. He is indeed better than me."
The vixen said: "Human beings are so hypocritical. They are obviously jealous of other people's abilities, but they still pretend to be good friends."
Meng Jiu gritted his back teeth and said: "You don't understand, this is called self-esteem. But I have to ask you, why do you pretend to be a human being, and also a Taoist priest? You are obviously a monster, but you have to find a way to protect yourself from the monster.
You are the only hypocrite in this village."
The vixen looked like he couldn't teach anything and said: "You are stupid, of course I am here to make money!"
Now even Du Yiyu couldn't help but feel curious: "Is it really for money? Monsters also want money?"
"Can't monsters ask for money? Do you think monsters should lie in the woods all day long and not be able to enjoy the fun of humans?"
Meng Jiudao: "But don't you know how to change money yourself, or steal it?"
"Are you a human? You don't understand this? This is what I call experiencing life!"
Meng Jiu looked at the vixen incomprehensibly. This was the first time he encountered such a perverted monster!
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving." The vixen turned around and said in a seasoned manner: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, that guy on the back mountain is not something ordinary people can deal with."
Just as the vixen was about to leave, Du Yiyu blocked him for some reason: "Now that you are here, you should tell everything you know."
"Why?"
Du Yiyu smiled slightly and said lightly: "I'm better than you."
Meng Jiu looked at the vixen's expression from the side and could hardly help but clapped his hands and applauded. It seemed that evil demons must be punished by evil men!
"Forget it, forget it," the vixen said, "I'll tell you. The guy on the mountain is the corpse boy."
"Corpse-killing boy?!" Meng Jiu took a breath and looked at Du Yiyu: "What is that?"
Du Yiyu frowned slightly and said: "A very cruel method used to prevent corpses from transforming. Use evil to suppress evil."
"How come I haven't heard of it?"
"Isn't the Taoist school different? In the past, some corpse painter schools were both good and evil, which was very troublesome."
Meng Jiudao: "Is it cruel? No wonder he is so cruel."
Du Yiyu sighed: "However, if it is really a corpse-killing boy, it will be a bit troublesome."
"How to say?"
Du Yiyu said to Meng Jiu: "To quell evil with evil, the only way to quench thirst is to drink doves to quench thirst. The corpse energy that might have been able to dissipate under the harmony of nature will slowly gather, causing ordinary corpses to undergo corpse transformation.
Then, once the evil that suppresses the zombies is gone, those corpse transformations that have been suppressed for many years will probably come with a fierce force."
The vixen stared at Du Yiyu curiously and said, "Hey, aren't you nervous?"
"I'm nervous," Du Yiyu said, "It's just that you can't tell."
The vixen finally sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I wish you good luck."
Looking at the vixen's leaving figure, a trace of doubt flashed in Du Yiyu's eyes. He looked at Meng Jiu and asked, "Tell me, why can those tattered spells drawn by that vixen be able to stop such a ferocious corpse-killing boy?
"
"Ah?" Meng Jiu was stunned, and Du Yiyu already said to himself: "That guy must be hiding something from us. No matter, let's talk about it then." After saying that, he suddenly changed the topic: "Hey, you are hiding it in your arms.
What must it be?"
Meng Jiu was stunned again, then sighed, and while taking out a paper bag filled with spells, he murmured: "You are more like a vixen, with rogue eyes and rogue ears."
With that said, Meng Jiu reached into the paper bag and took out a small knife about an inch.
I don’t know what kind of material the knife is made of, but it is as transparent as ice, with a faint hint of moisture. When the sunlight penetrates through the cracks in the window, colorful colors seem to flow inside the knife body.
