After wading across the river, he touched the stairs in front of him in a short while. Mr. Tu put the lamp on top, put his hands on the shore first, and then pulled the girls up one by one. A Yin leaned on the side and twisted the feet of the robe, just now the water was warm. At this moment, he landed on the shore, shivering and beating one after another. After a long time, he hasn't been to the tomb, and his body is really hypocritical.

Mr. Tu squatted on the opposite side and took off his shoes and poured water. Li Shiyi wringed out his trousers and said to Song Shijiu, "Put up the trouser legs."

Song Nineteen did as he was told, his white calf was as bright as a moon hooked in the hole, and the thin skin and tender meat made the youngest sigh repeatedly.

After finishing the tidying up, the group of people went inside again. Fortunately, there were no other creatures in the cave, except for some spider webs the size of dustpans hanging on both sides, and several rows of bats hanging upside down. When people passed, the bats fluttered and flew. , Shake off the dust.

The further you go inside, the quieter the cave becomes, and the rocky water occasionally falls on the prominent stone pillars, like the greedy saliva of a boa constrictor when it vomits a letter.

After walking for another two or three minutes, the appearance of the tomb was revealed. There was an open front hall in the center. Under the cave, there was a tiled eaves, which were connected to four giant pillars whose red paint had fallen off. The traces look like the splendid banquet room of the tomb owner during his lifetime. There was only one offering table in the front hall. I thought there should be ritual utensils for the burial, but they were found to be very clean, except for a few pieces of soil and gravel-colored fragments.

There are two side ear rooms on both sides of the front hall. Mr. Tu walked around, but it was still empty and nothing. He was puzzled and angry, scolding: "Grandma, where did you get the gold? Even a fly. No legs either!"

Li Shiyi moved his nose and walked through the front hall. He saw a small aisle. The aisle was covered with a stone door. Li Shiyi was about to push the door, but he retracted his hand and squatted down to take a look. Different scratches, embedded with cinnabar-colored blood, Li Shiyi stretched out his fingertips to compare, as if they were scratches.

Such a tragic scratch, I want to come through the fright of extreme fear and no way out.

She squeezed a talisman in her hand, motioned Mr. Tu to greet the tools that could be used in the bag, and winked at A Yin. A Yin squeezed the talisman in one hand and held Song Nineteen with the other, protecting her behind him, holding her breath. Breathing and watching Li Shiyi's palm propped up, he slowly pushed Shimen open.

Inside the stone gate is the serious coffin room. The four walls are hung with ancient murals, mainly in red and white. They are nothing more than paintings of ceremonial and music guests. They have no achievements in life. The squire, but he has no big status, let alone the rumored 95-year-old.

Mr. Tu added some knowledge and understood a little bit. When he saw the murals, he was a little disappointed, and he said in his heart that he was fooled. There was no half of the gold and silver boxes on the ground, and even the coffin was gone. , The white marble coffin bed, which is two people long and one person wide, stands in the center in a cool and dense manner.

The talisman paper in Li Shiyi's hand was twisting back and forth between his fingers, still playing poker, but Ayin knew that her heart was getting nervous. Li Shiyi's face was always a pool of unfathomable water. The corners of his mouth will be pursed, and the tip of his left finger will be lightly clasped on the side of his leg irregularly.

The youngest Tu saw that the white jade bed was a little interesting. It was impossible to move it. When he stepped forward, it seemed that someone had cut a few holes. For some reason, he could not take it out. moon stars. Youngest Tu was about to bend over to pick up a few, but suddenly stopped, his pupils shrunk as if they had been pricked by needles, his face was distorted as if he had seen a ghost, he sat on the ground after a long while, pushing his legs with his backhand and moving back, his mouth The words were not formed, only a few "ah, ah" sounds like being strangled by the neck.

Although the youngest Tu was not very courageous, he had never been frightened to such a degree before. Li Shiyi felt a sigh of relief and hurriedly squatted beside him, staring at the white jade bed and asking him, "What?"

"Rabbit... bunny bunny bunny." Mr. Tu stuttered so badly that cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

"What's so scary about rabbits?" A Yin wondered.

The youngest Tu crawled out, pulling Li Shiyi's trousers while crawling: "Eat, eat... eat people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a skull rolled out from the corner of the white jade bed, stained with dried blood, Song Nineteen raised his hand to cover his lips, and saw a soft fluff fell to the ground, his four claws lifted and fell, and a man walked out from behind the white jade bed. A giant beast the size of a lion.

That giant beast looks like a rabbit, but its head is bigger than a human head, and its hair is as beautiful as silver threads. When it flicks, it is a room of brilliance. Its eyes are fiery red like gems, and don't go to the long ears behind it. , With a handsome back and buttocks, there are peony-like patterns on both sides of the thighs and the back, and the walking posture is extremely elegant, like an aura of auspicious beasts.

But the hair on the mouth of the auspicious beast was stained with blood, and his teeth were chewing, and he frowned occasionally, as if his teeth were knocked by a hard pea.

At this moment, it tilted its head slightly, so that it could look at the crowd in a leisurely manner, as if a turtle was caught in the urn.

Song Nineteen leaned against the wall with a weak leg. A Yin was also sweating coldly and took two steps back, breathing heavily. Li Shiji was alarmed, moved his body lightly, and calmly moved to Song Shi. Jiutong Ayin's side.

"What is it?" A Yin asked her softly.

Li Shiyi tried his best to calm his breath: "Beast."

There is a record in the "Shen Yi Jing": "There are corrupt beasts in the southwest wilderness, and their shape is like a dodder." As the name suggests, beasts are good at telling lies. It is said that if they eat the meat of a corrupted beast, they will no longer be able to tell the truth. The crooked beast is often in the southwest, and Li Shiyi has never encountered it before. He doesn't want to meet him here, and he immediately understands why the red-scaled fish outside is gathered here. It is precisely because this crooked beast has the ability to attract people to gather beasts. .

"Can you eat people?" Song Nineteen whispered in a trembling voice.

Li Shiyi protected them and stepped back unhurriedly: "Eat."

"Beasts feed on lies, and they like to eat liars the most. If a group of people go together, pick the one who is the best at lying first." Li Shiyi's final voice trembled rarely, and the pupils staring at the beast dimmed a bit. point.

The crooked beast swallowed the fingers in its mouth and walked towards them step by step. Mr. Tu screamed and was about to run out, but seeing the crooked beast exerting force on his buttocks, he jumped lightly to him, his front paws. Buckling the ground, his sharp eyes caught him, and he let out a low hiss.

The roar was like the sharp sound of a dolphin, and it was slightly hoarse. It quickly struck people's eardrums, making people dizzy and dizzy. The current of the water also vibrated as if being beaten, the red scale fish in the full pond jumped back and forth, and the carps rushed out of the water like leaping from the dragon gate.

A Yin groaned and fell to his knees, his hands clasped on the mud, Tu Lao Yao rolled around with his head in his arms, his eyelids twitched as if boiling water had been poured over, Song Nineteen squatted in the corner, losing all his strength, covering his hands Tears flowed from his ears, and Li Shiyi was also attacked with shock. He was half-sitting by the wall, his knuckles turning blue with the force of his hand grasping his knee.

The youngest Tu pulled on Li Shiyi's pants and called, "Where's the spell! Where's the spell?! Ten... Eleventh sister, I, I'm uncomfortable!"

The big man burst into tears, more twisted than smoking a big cigarette. Li Shiyi held his hand, his throat was so sweet that he couldn't speak.

Seeing that they had lost their strength, the crooked beast stopped. The fish was steady in the water, and it was as quiet as if nothing had happened, except for the echoes in the ears like hungry ghosts crying, and the vestibule like being beaten with a few sap sticks. , reminding them that all is not an illusion.

Li Shiyi calmed down for a few breaths before he found some tune, let go of Mr. Tu's hand, and shook his head in despair: "The spell only accepts ghosts, and it's useless against ancient beasts."

Youngest Tu's eyes stopped chaotically, his lips were like blunt flesh pulled down by a saw, and he was numb and unable to speak.

In the tomb, there were only a few people's anxious and weak panting sounds, which was the same as the sound of nails hitting the bottom when the beast clasped its claws.

With innocent but cunning eyes, it patrols its prey back and forth. These girls are all very beautiful and beautiful, and beautiful girls always deceive people. There is also this man who looks like a prankster in the market. I don't know which one lies. , will be the first thing in its belly.

Mr. Tu turned over and vomited violently, the yellow and white soup rushed out together, but the beast didn't stop walking towards him. Its shiny fur was shaking, and the shadows around him shrouded Mr. Tu inside. He showed a bit of helplessness and frailty, Tu Laoyao closed his eyes and turned his heart away. He was eating rivers and lakes to make a living. He told more lies than the rice he had eaten. Not two days ago, he still pointed Li Shiyi said that she was Song Shijiu's mother.

He vomited so much that his bile was about to come out, and his legs were shaking like an electric shock.

Telling you to talk nonsense is time to tear up this useless mouth.

He was about to die when he was about to give up, but he was so panicked that he couldn't remember his last words. When he opened his head in a hurry, he saw that the beast's footsteps stopped, and he hesitantly walked towards Ayin beside him.

Ayin raised her head in a hurry, tears smeared on her eyes, her lips were bitten, she was rosy and gorgeous, even at this moment, she was still the first-class delicate flower on the branches of the spring breeze.

The crooked beast approached her like sniffing a kiss, and its throbbing nose seemed to probe into her heart. After a while, it opened its mouth to her with the disgusting stench of carrion.

A Yin swallowed and closed his eyes.

My name is Ain.

I have an ideal, to fill the world with peach and plum.

I was good-looking since I was a child. When my parents died when I was six, my uncle wanted to sell me to a kiln. Master passed by and bought me with most of my net worth, and named me A Yin.

I don't know where there are bosom friends, and I often hold this hatred for this. I am this Ayin.

When I was twelve years old, when the war in the south was chaotic and the Southern Sect of Mogu was withered, I went north with my master and met Li Shiyi master and apprentice in the tomb of General Qian in Jinan. That winter was extremely cold. Master didn't endure it. Before he died, he entrusted me to Li Shiyi's master. Since then, I have worked with her to carry water and chop wood, practice magic and steal holes. She called me Ayin. I called her Li Shiyi, and later, I called her Shiyi.

When I was sixteen, I buried her master at the foot of Jiuru Mountain with her, and she led me to Peiping with a burden on my back. The current situation is not good, the bones are buried in a mass, the tomb is not good, and I have to rob the tomb raiding team of the army master to eat.

Since then, Li Shiyi has practiced the exercises day and night, flipped through books and read books, laid down any graves, and took over any work.

At the age of eighteen, I settled down with her, built a humble courtyard, and gradually became famous on the road. On the last day at the end of the eighteenth year, she took over the job in Wuling Mountain, Hebei, but she was not feeling well, and she was shivering in pain. I let her rest and entered the robbery hole for her.

In that robbery cave, I met the spirit of the snake.

The snake is an ancient mythical beast. It is said that it is the descendant of the pet immortals under the throne of Nuwa. Even the spirit, I was invincible, I moved it's old man's offering table, it got angry, whipped me between the eyebrows with a snake's tail, and attached a soul to me.

There is a sentence in the book that Master left me: Snakes are soft-mouthed and poisonous, lazy and promiscuous.

I searched for medicine in every possible way, but still couldn't find a solution. My body yearned for the essence of the opposite sex more than I did, and I was lazy every day. I had a rift with Li Shiyi, and I didn't want to live with her anymore, so I moved into a hutong.

I don't receive many customers, and Tao laughed at me, I always pick the ones who are beautiful, and I don't know if they went to me or I went to them. I felt that they were not very beautiful, but it took me a long time to realize that they all looked a bit like Li Shiyi.

I was driven by the desire in this body, happy and not happy. When I didn't see Li Shiyi, I was happy, but when I saw her, I wasn't very happy.

Li Shiyi came to see me several times and talked with me all night long. I smiled and told her that my ideal is to fill the world with peaches and plums.

My name is Ain. My mouth is full of nonsense, and I lie a lot. The big lies I have told in my life are called ideals.

I will lie to her for the rest of my life.
