After I finished asking, I slightly released my fingers from pressing on the mirror...
The kid calmed down in the yin-yang mirror for a long time before gradually putting away his painful expression. He pressed his face against the mirror, opened his two bulging eyes and said:
"The Archmage's methods are good. I'm completely convinced. Just let me out and I'll guide you..."
The kid's voice was very childish, and he sounded like he was only three or five years old, but his tone was full of maturity. This contrast made me feel very uncomfortable.
"Let you out? Do you think I'm stupid? What if you want to run away again?"
"With this yin-yang mirror in your hand, I can't run away even if I want to. Please let me out quickly. If it's later, I'm afraid that girl will be teased to death by my immature sister!
"
When I heard what he said made sense, I raised my hand and gently wiped the "Edict" mark on the mirror surface. The little ghost smiled and got out of the Yin-Yang Mirror.
Don't underestimate this casual touch. In fact, it contains some cultivation. The imperial seal is made of my blood, so if you want to dissolve it, you must use my own breath. It would not be easy for anyone else.
Lift.
As soon as the kid came out, he walked around me a few times like a little old man with his hands behind his back, his eyes rolling around as he kept looking at me.
"Don't waste time, hurry up and lead the way!"
I urged angrily.
"Hey, I'll take you there right now..."
After saying that, the kid walked to one side of the cave wall, which was exactly where he wanted to get into before. He pointed at a long-bright lamp on the cave wall,
"Arch mage, please gently rotate this ever-burning lamp."
I stared at the ever-burning lantern and found that the color was indeed different from other ever-burning lanterns. So I gently held the hot oil lamp and slowly turned it. I only heard a "click" sound, and bursts of machine sounds came from the cave wall.
The sound of brackets and hinges working.
Before I could react, the cave wall in front of me suddenly lifted up, and a semicircular arch appeared.
The kid jumped in and I quickly followed...
As soon as I walked into the dark archway, I suddenly heard the cry of a little girl,
"Brother...come and save me...wu..."
Just when I didn't know why, the surroundings suddenly lit up, and the long-bright lamps all lit up "Puff-Puff-Puff". I immediately heard the sound and looked around, and saw a man wearing red clothes with two combs on his hair.
A little girl with pigtails had her limbs stretched out and pressed against the wall, as if she was nailed by something!
The expression is a little aggrieved and painful...
Opposite her, Yu Xian was holding a black lotus and looking at her expressionlessly.
"Amei!!!"
The kid yelled and was about to rush forward. I immediately threw out a red thread and wrapped it around the kid's neck to pull him back!
"Arch Mage! That's my sister, please stop her now, but don't kill her!"
The kid was entangled in my red thread and couldn't move, so he could only plead.
Yu Xian, who heard the noise, turned around and looked over. When he saw it was me, a trace of joy flashed across his face. He hurriedly put away the black lotus and walked towards me. The little girl who was nailed to the wall lost the suppression of the black lotus.
It also fell gently to the ground.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
Yu Xian shook his head,
"This little girl doesn't have any skills, but she just refuses to take me out, so I'm trying to scare her."
After hearing what she said, I felt relieved, so I let go of the red thread and let the kid go. The kid immediately rushed over to comfort his sister. At this moment, the mature feeling in him suddenly disappeared again, and he really looked like a man who made his sister happy.
Little brother.
"Ugh...Brother, that sister is so mean! It's not fun at all! You lied to me..."
The little girl said coquettishly.
"Don't cry... don't cry. Don't talk nonsense. With them here, there is hope for the two of us to leave this broken cave."
When the little girl heard this, her originally cloudy eyes shone with a glimmer of light, and then she looked at us expectantly.
Yu Xian and I looked at each other, stepped forward and asked:
"What did you mean by what you just said?"
The kid put down his sister, floated in front of me, looked at me sincerely, raised his hands and said:
"Archmaster, if our brother and sister help you escape from the Bronze Armored Corpse Town and enter the cave inside, can you save my brother and sister to be reincarnated?"
I was overjoyed and asked hurriedly:
"You really have a way to help us escape the Bronze Armored Corpse Town?"
"That's natural!"
The kid's expression was very firm, and he didn't look like he was lying.
I looked at this brother and sister with suspicion,
"Although you two are not very advanced, you must have been in the human world for thousands of years. No matter how bad you are, you can't even go to the underworld, right?"
When the kid heard this, a sad look suddenly appeared on his pale face.
"I don't dare to hide it from the Archmage. In fact, our brother and sister are not related to the general of the Western Frontier. The reason why we have been trapped here for thousands of years is because of that abominable alchemist!"
"Is this the alchemist who taught Yao Pingzhong to turn corpses into evil spirits?"
When the kid heard this, he was surprised and said:
"How did the Archmage know? Could it be that you met the General's old slave?!"
"Yes, that old slave has been killed by us. Ignore him for now and continue talking." I urged.
"My sister and I were originally children from a family in a village outside the mountain. Later, we were stolen by alchemists and came to Jiangjun Mountain..."
The kid suddenly paused, then sniffed, looking like he was about to cry. After calming down a little, he continued:
"He...he took my brother and sister to the general's coffin to extract their souls, and turned the bodies into human flesh pottery figurines. Their souls were also imprisoned and turned into tomb-guarding boys...and they were trapped in this mountain for nearly a thousand years! At that time, I only had
Four years old, my sister is only two years old..."
Having said this, the kid finally couldn't help it. Drops of ghost tears slid down his chubby cheeks and fell to the ground into transparent beads. However, her sister was still there as if she couldn't feel the pain.
Smiling silly with him on the side...
"Soul-sucking?!"
I clenched my fists and my whole body was shaking with anger!
"Damn Alchemist!!!" Yu Xian said through gritted teeth with a murderous look on his face.
The so-called soul extraction is to completely separate the soul from the body. In order to ensure that the aura of the soul remains, it is necessary to strip the soul alive. When the person is alive, use a knife to open the skull and peel off the skin, pour mercury into the head, and then prick it with a silver needle.
Breaking the eyebrows completes the soul extraction.
It seems complicated, but the technique is very fast, and it must be ensured that the person cannot die before the soul extraction is completed...
Not to mention a three or four-year-old child, even a warrior who has been on the battlefield for a long time cannot endure that kind of pain!
I couldn't help but take a closer look at the foreheads of the kid and his sister, and sure enough, they each had a wound the size of a pinprick...
