Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 29: The Dragon Tomb Burial Case

Views:

Su Yun's face was solemn. Jiao Shuao was indeed rescued by the spirit of the dragon, but what he took away from the Dragon Burial Mausoleum might not be the dragon spirit.

It is very likely that the alien creature impersonated Long Ling and deceived Jiao Shuao, asking Jiao Shuao to take him away from here.

"The whole village had dinner and went to Shuofang City, saying that they might meet again in Shuofang. Shuofang is a big city with people everywhere. If this alien creature does evil..."

Su Yun relaxed: "Then he will definitely die."

In his mind, Shuofang City even has figures like Mr. Shui Jing, so it is naturally an amazing place with many strong people.

After they rested for a while, Su Yun threw up the magic rope and slid down the cliff along the rope with the four fox demons.

In the night, the moonlight was beautiful. Su Yun and the four fox demons were traveling through the mountains and forests. When they passed by Niujiazhuang, they saw that a funeral was being held in the village and a banquet was being held.

Su Yun only heard a lot of noise and thought it was the guests coming to the funeral, but he didn't know that there were actually monsters dancing at the banquet.

Some of the demons, having eaten and drunk their fill, said goodbye to their masters and walked back arm in arm, reeking of alcohol and making loud noises on the road, making it quite lively.

Su Yun and his companions were not lonely on the road. Hu Buping and Li Xiaofan even took advantage of the night to steal vegetable fields in Niu Family Village.

However, when the monsters who were traveling with them saw them walking into Tianmen Town, those drunk monsters couldn't help but wake up, and all the drunkenness was gone. They bowed twice in the direction of Tianmen Town, or cursed a few words, and then hurried away.

—In the eyes of the monsters in the uninhabited area of Tianshiyuan, Tianmen Town is an evil and unlucky place.

The lights in Tianmen Town were dim, and it was obvious that many townspeople had already gone to sleep. The only sound was the barking of dogs that startled Su Yun and his companions on the road.

They quietly returned to the house and lit the oil lamp. Su Yun and the three little foxes prepared dinner, while Hua Hu took advantage of the light to read a book at night.

"The book says that they saw traces of battle and speculated that the alien creature that came with the dragon must be the dragon's enemy. It was a battle that was mutually destructive, and the alien creature also died in the battle. So, they tried to summon the dragon's spirit and wanted to ask the dragon spirit what happened."

Hua Hu was flipping through the book while explaining the contents of the book to Su Yun and others.

"After they summoned the dragon's spirit, a scholar named Ying, who had an extraordinary sense of spirits, noticed something was wrong. She said that when they summoned the dragon's spirit, they might have summoned another spirit as well."

This is a thrilling story.

After the scholars of Tiandao Academy summoned the dragon's spirit, strange things began to happen.

Ying warned everyone that the soul was full of evil, and it was possible that the one who died with the dragon was a human demon. When the dragon and the human demon died together, it might have exiled itself and the human demon's soul to another world, but now they have summoned it.

However, not many people believed Ying's words.

It was a snowy day, and the weather in the north became a little strange. There was never such heavy snow in the past. The thick snow covered the mountains. The snow was several feet deep, and it was bottomless in some places in the mountains, cutting off their contact with the outside world.

The next morning, the scholars of Tiandao Academy found Ying's body.

The leading scholar was very nervous, and immediately gathered everyone together to set up the Soul Prisoner Sky Cage, trapping the dragon spirit and the human demon spirit in the Dragon Burial Mausoleum, preventing them from leaving.

If the spirit of the human demon leaves, it will cause great slaughter and devastation to all living things. I don’t know how many people will be devoured by the human demon!

Beside the stove, the light flickered. Su Yun and the three little foxes listened nervously to Flower Fox telling the story that happened on a snowy day one hundred and fifty years ago. The three little foxes hugged their tails and trembled.

"Spiritual prisoner trapped in a cage?"

Su Yun suddenly asked, scaring the three little foxes so much that they jumped up, hugged each other and huddled in the corner, terrified.

Huahu flipped through the book and said, "Based on the context, it should be the stone tablets we saw when we first entered the valley. After the leader of the team set up the Soul Prisoner Sky Cage, he gathered the scholars together and everyone summarized the characteristics of the human demons they knew."

He continued reading.

The human demon spirits are good at possession and can attach themselves to other people and imitate them.

The strength of the human demon's spirit is not strong, but after the human demon spirit possesses a person, it will become very powerful. He will definitely choose a person with a weak character, attach himself to him, control him, and eventually devour him.

As long as there is the slightest flaw in the mind, it is possible for the evil spirit to take advantage of it and enter, taking over the body and controlling it!

What's even more terrifying is that after a demon takes over someone's body, the body becomes adept at changing and can potentially turn into anyone's appearance!

Not only that, the demon can even transform his body into the form of a weapon!

The more people he devours, the stronger he becomes!

In this valley blocked by heavy snow, a battle between humanity and wisdom began.

The scholars, who originally had a deep friendship among their classmates, gradually began to be suspicious of each other, and gradually people split into two factions, one living at the dragon's head and the other living at the dragon's tail.

The pure white color of the snow makes people feel even more despair. When the snow is dyed with the red color of blood, this despair turns into a distortion of human nature.

Someone died again, and the body was found in the dragon's belly. Both sides suspected that the other was responsible, and that the human demon was among the other side.

Then there was a third death, and a fourth.

The shadow of death enveloped the entire valley, finally causing people to collapse. The Dragon Head and Dragon Tail factions almost simultaneously thought of a solution, which was to destroy each other!

Because, when you are sure that the human-demon is not hiding on your side, it doesn’t matter which one of the other side the human-demon is, as long as you eliminate the other side, you can eliminate the human-demon!

When both sides hold this idea, a bloody battle is inevitable.

In the end, the scholars of Long Shou's faction won, and the leader was among them.

They returned to the house at the dragon head location and waited for the snow to melt before leaving.

They lit a bonfire and sat beside it in a solemn atmosphere. They talked about how to tell the outside world about what happened here after they left, and how to take care of the parents of the dead scholars in the future.

Hua Hu flipped through the books and said, "After that, they returned to their room and went to sleep. The next morning, they found that a stone tablet of the Spirit Prisoner Sky Cage had been destroyed."

Su Yun suddenly shuddered: "The demon is not dead, he is still hiding among them!"

Hua Hu looked strange, and he flipped through the last two pages several times, seemingly not understanding them. After a while, he sorted out the contents of the last two pages and continued to talk.

The scholars returned to the room where the dragon head was located, and everyone fell into their own suspicions and were extremely wary of anyone else.

At this time, the leading scholar found the scholar who wrote this book and said to him, we cannot find out the human-demon among us, so there is only one way, that is to kill them all.

He said that the human demon could not destroy the spirit prison cage by his own strength, and could only deceive others and use their hands to destroy the spirit prison cage. Anyone who was alive could become a target of human demons.

If the demon escapes, it will definitely cause chaos in the world and countless lives will be lost.

They can only sacrifice themselves and die here to ensure that the human-demon will not escape.

"Then, how can I be sure that you are not a demon?" asked the scholar who wrote the book.

The leader said, "Han Jun, after killing the others, only you and I are left. If I were a human demon, I would have to seduce you to destroy the spirit prison cage. You only need to commit suicide to trap me to death here. If you are a human demon, I will commit suicide and you will be trapped to death here."

He agreed.

The killing began.

The first person to take action is the leader.

His arms turned into huge weapons, shredding his companions' limbs. The scholar who wrote the book watched this scene in horror, watching the leader killing other scholars like an evil spirit, he was scared and ran away.

"The team leader is the devil!" he wrote in the book.

He left footprints in the snow, and the team leader eventually found him.

In the room at the dragon's tail, he saw outside the window that the leader's hands and feet had turned into huge weapons, crawling on all fours in the snow in a strange posture.

"Junior, it's just you and me left!"

The leader's voice came from outside: "I still haven't found the human-demon!"

He quickly wrote in the room, recording the leader's appearance. This would be an excellent note for future generations to study human-demons.

"Senior brother, aren't you a demon?" He roared out of the window while writing.

"I am not a human-demon. I am borrowing the spirit of the dragon to strengthen my body, transform myself into a dragon, and increase my strength." The leader outside the window walked over and explained to him.

He looked out the window and saw that the leader's limbs had turned into dragon's claws. Only then did he realize that he had wronged his senior.

"Since my senior is not a human-demon, then who is the human-demon?"

Huahu's expression became increasingly strange as he read the last paragraph: "My consciousness gradually blurred, darkness invaded my mind, and I seemed to see my left arm slowly turning into a huge weapon... Well, it's gone."

Flower Fox closed the book.

Su Yun and the three little foxes were listening intently. They couldn't help but get anxious when they heard this: "What do you mean it's over? This story has no beginning or end!"

Hu Buping scratched his head and shouted, "What happened next? What happened next? He is the human demon, right? Who won the battle between him and the team leader?"

Hua Hu said helplessly: "The record in the book only goes up to this point, and it doesn't say what happened later. And this is not a story I wrote, but a real event that happened on a snowy day 150 years ago."

The little foxes were dissatisfied and insisted that he give the story an accurate ending.

Huahu said helplessly: "He died together with the team leader..."

“This ending sucks!”

Qingqiu Yue said quickly: "The human demon won and killed the leader, but he couldn't get out of the spirit prison cage. In the end, he died of old age in the Dragon Burial Mausoleum until the whole village came for dinner! This ending is better!"

Li Xiaofan said quickly: "The demon died in the hands of the team leader, but the team leader was not sure whether he was possessed by the demon at the last moment, so he chose to die alone in the Dragon Burial Mausoleum. I think this ending is better!"

Hu Buping raised his paw and said, "Perhaps the team leader killed the demon and left Dragon Burial Mausoleum! This is the perfect ending!"

The little foxes quarreled and each had his own ending.

Huahu put the book aside and saw Su Yun was thinking about something and not participating in the discussion. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiaoyun, what are you thinking about?"

Su Yun was in a daze, and suddenly said: "I was wondering, was it really Long Ling who saved the whole village from eating that night?"
