Everyone walked towards Bone Mountain.
At the foot of the bone mountain, the patrolling skeleton soldiers had already spotted them, still looking lazy and casual.
However, their time dealing with the skeletons is not too short. As long as they see the bloody red light in the eyes of the skeletons, they know that these skeletons have actually raised their vigilance, but they have not done anything rashly to avoid arousing their vigilance.
Although they don't know what the world of skeletons is like, at least they can't see the expressions of these skeletons from the skeletons. They can only judge certain reactions of the skeletons from the bloody red light in their eyes.
When everyone walked to the cave on the mountainside, they were stopped by those scattered skeletons.
There was a rattling sound, and everyone was silent, looking at Bailichi at the same time.
At this time, Bailichi's role was revealed.
Bailichi ran over responsibly, negotiated with the skeletons, and then ran over and told them: "These skeletons said that if we want to find a boat to cross the lake of murderous corpses, we can go to the Bones. They have boats that can cross the lake." Boat."
"Bone Clan?" A group of people looked at him.
Baili Chi nodded, "The Bone Clan is in this bone mountain, it's easy to find, we just go in."
Everyone nodded in disbelief, and when they were about to follow him in, they were stopped again.
The skeleton soldiers said that they had to pay the city fee.
Then I saw Liu Qingyun and others took out a bone and handed it to the skeletons with great winking.
It turns out that the transactions in this place are really based on bones!
Ning Yuzhou also took out a few big bones and threw them to the skeleton as their entrance fee.
The sounds of the skeletons receiving the bones were endless, and Bailichi came over and told them kindly, "They said, your bones are very unique, a style they haven't seen before, and they like it very much."
Brothers Sang Yufei and Ge Rusong looked at the bones in the hands of the skeleton soldier, but they really couldn't see anything special about them. Aren't they all bones
It can only be said that the difference in race makes it impossible for them to understand the aesthetics of skeletons.
The environment in the cave is no different from other bone mountains. There are bone houses built with bones along the way, and there are skeletons living in them. The skeletons even open shops, and most of the things sold are bones.
Renxiu would never be interested in their products.
A group of people walked across the street towards the territory of the Bones.
The place where the skeletons live is relatively deep, and the location here is also the best in the bone mountain. When it is windy and rainy outside, it will not affect this place. The skeletons live comfortably, and there is absolutely no need to worry about their bones getting wet.
When they came to a bone house, Bailichi knocked on the half-open bone door.
cluck!
There was a rattling sound inside, which seemed to beckon them to go in.
Bailichi pushed open the door and led everyone in.
The space in this bone house is not very big, if nine people are squeezed in, it will be full immediately. There is a skeleton sitting in the bone house, and the skeleton is sitting on a bone stool, holding a handful of bone tools and polishing them.
If the bone frame is ignored, it will make people feel that the person sitting there is actually a living person.
When Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao went to Thirty-Three Alleys to find Cyclopedia for news, the Cyclopedia Bone Grinder looked very similar to this skeleton.
Bailichi had already communicated with the skeleton, and the others stood by and listened quietly. During the whole process, Bailichi was talking normally, and the skeleton was giggling back.
Wen Qiao, Su Molan, and Ning Yuzhou muttered: "Can they understand our language? In fact, they have no language barriers for us, but we can't understand their words, right?"
Her voice was not concealed, and Liu Qingyun and others beside her could hear it clearly.
Sang Yufei said awkwardly: "It should be. Anyway, I saw Junior Brother Baili talking to them like this all the time, and I didn't see any reaction from them."
After all, Bailichi couldn't be fooling people by pretending to understand what the skeletons said
Bailichi didn't have that IQ.
Bailichi finally finished communicating with the skeleton, and then saw the skeleton stand up and lead them away from the bone house.
"Junior Brother Baili, where are we going?" Ge Ruping asked, his injury still not healed, and his face was a little pale.
Bailichi said: "Just now, the Longbone lady said that there is a boat to cross the lake, but recently this boat is full of guests, so if you want to cross the lake, you have to wait for the next boat. There will be boats at the beginning of the month and the middle of the month. Hu, if you miss this time, you will have to wait for half a month, I ask it to help make room for us, it said it will discuss with the patriarch."
Everyone finally understood and followed the leading skeleton.
When they came to a larger bone house, they met the head of the Bone Clan.
How should I put it, this patriarch is just a skeleton in their eyes, and there is no way to distinguish the difference between it and the Longbone lady next to it.
Oh, the only difference is that the bones between men and women are still a little different.
The patriarch of the Bone Clan sat cross-legged in front of the long table, and there was a rattling sound, loud and fast, if it was a normal person, it would probably be a loud voice.
No matter how heroic its sitting posture is, in the eyes of this group of cultivators, it is just a skeleton with its legs crossed.
No appreciation at all.
Everyone looked indifferent.
After listening to the words of the head of the bone clan, Bailichi told them: "The head of the bone clan agreed to make room for us, but he asked us to come up with something he is satisfied with."
The other eight people listened in a daze. Are all the skeletons talking so straight
Sang Yufei asked suspiciously: "Brother Baili, does it really say that?"
"That's what it means, there's no difference." The Baili boy said with a straight face.
After listening, everyone understood that Bailichi was expressing the words of the head of the Jianbone Clan in a simple and concise way, as long as the meaning was expressed, and there was no need to be too euphemistic.
The benefits that the skeleton wants are nothing but bones, and things like the cultivator's panacea are not very tempting to them.
Liu Qingyun and the others were prepared, took out the bones one after another, and pushed them in front of the patriarch.
However, after the patriarch saw it, they all waved their hands and giggled, saying that these bones did not satisfy him, and there was no way to open the back door for them.
Before Liu Qingyun and the others came to Huangu Town, they also made first-hand preparations, and they had prepared a lot of bones for the entrance fee needed by the Thirteenth Mansion of Dry Bones. However, they only prepared some ordinary bones needed to enter the city, and they did not prepare those bones with powerful strength. After all, bones with strong strength are rarely available, and even if they did, they would not be willing to give them. .
Bones with powerful strength are needed not only by skeletons, but also by human cultivators.
Seeing that the patriarch confiscated it, Liu Qingyun and the others frowned. Could it be that they have to wait for the boat next month
Here Bailichi told them: "Senior Sister Liu, just now I secretly asked Mrs. Longbone, she said that there are many skeletons crossing the lake every time, and it is difficult to get the boat tickets for the Bone Race. Nearby skeletons, like skeletons from other places, have to wait in line for a boat ticket."
Hearing this, everyone looked at the head of the Bone Clan without words.
I can't complain that the Bone Clan can live in the best part of this bone cave. Because of their wealth-raising ability, the boat fare alone allows them to enjoy it comfortably, so they don't look down on ordinary bones.
Ning Yuzhou said: "I have a pair of bones here." He stepped forward, took out a long bone from the storage bag, and threw it in front of the patriarch.
When the bang sounded, the leader of the Bone Clan was taken aback, and the others quickly retreated.
Because the bone that Ning Yuzhou took out was very large, and it was easy to identify. It was clearly the bone of some kind of sea beast.
Speaking of which, this sea beast bone was exchanged with the sea beasts from the Xingyue Gorge when they were in the endless sea. There are not many sea beast bones like this in Ning Yuzhou.
Although the patriarch of the Bone Clan was startled, he quickly jumped up and threw himself on the sea beast bone. The bloody red light in his eye sockets flickered very fiercely, and the sound of gurgling was endless.
Bailichi said pleasantly: "Young Master Ning, the patriarch of the Bone Clan likes it very much."
Without his explaining, they could tell, because the entire bone frame of the head of the Bone Clan was glued to the sea animal bone, and the two chicken claw-like bone fingers felt like idiots on the sea animal bone, and they could see People are very cold.
"No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong." Sang Yufei muttered.
Doesn't it look wrong, a skeleton is obsessed with sea animal skeletons... It's a very eye-catching scene.
The patriarch of the Bone Clan was very satisfied with the sea beast bones, and agreed to move them out of place without saying a word. And said that if they come to take a boat again in the future, it will definitely reserve a place for them. Of course, if they have bones like this, they must send them to it first...
Although there are sea animal bones, it's another matter if they cooperate in the future.
After negotiating, the patriarch of the Bone Clan personally sent them to the boat.
Along the way, it chose to follow Ning Yuzhou, and the sound of clucking and clucking was loud and loud. Without Bailichi's translation, everyone could see the patriarch's flattery, and wished to pick it up from Ning Yuzhou again. Produced a pair of sea animal bones.
Ning Yuzhou kept a mysterious smile the whole time.
Anyway, he couldn't understand.
Baili understood, but seeing that the patriarch of the Jianbone clan was following Ning Yuzhou so persistently, he didn't need his translation at all, so he kept his mouth shut.
Sure enough, skeletons are better than humans, no matter how much they talk, they won't get dry mouth, and it doesn't even seem like their mouth will get tired.
After crossing the bone mountain, everyone saw the fierce corpse lake.
The surface of the lake is dark blue and very quiet. A round of full moon is reflected on the tranquil lake surface, which is quite a bit of a peaceful mood, but coupled with the Bone Mountain by the lake, the beautiful mood suddenly becomes gloomy.
This lake looks very peaceful, but everyone really doesn't understand why it is called the fierce corpse lake.
Is it the special aesthetics of skeletons
A huge bone boat is parked by the lake.
The bone boat was three stories high, and it was also made of bones. From the perspective of Ning Yuzhou, a prefecture-level craftsman, the bone boat was not too tough, regardless of its shape.
This is a boat built by the Bone Clan, and the Bone Clan dare to call themselves "Strong"...
Ning Yuzhou suddenly understood the meaning of the name to these skeletons. It was really a simple and straightforward self-proclaimed name, which was clear at a glance.
The head of the Skeletal Clan took them aboard and let them sit on the third floor.
The third floor is the highest, the safest, and has the best view. It is generally used to entertain distinguished guests.
In addition to them, there were some skeletons sitting on the third floor. There was no doubt that these skeletons should be very valuable, but Wen Qiao and the others glanced over and felt that these skeletons were all similar in shape, and they couldn't tell which one was which.
The boat will leave soon.
Wen Qiao's group of people sat with the skeletons, naturally a little uncomfortable, and could only try their best to ignore the skeletons around them.
Only Bailichi adapted very quickly, and chatted with the skeletons around him, took out a few small bones as a gift, and soon chatted with a skeleton.
Wen Qiao looked at it for a while, then asked Sang Yufei next to him, "Has Mr. Baili always been able to chat with people like this?"
Sang Yufei's face twitched a little, and she said implicitly: "Brother Baili is an open-minded person, he treats people with sincerity, as long as he thinks it's good, he can be his friend."
Not only people, but skeletons can also be friends with him.
Although they had doubted whether Wen Qiao and the others were giving Baili Chi some ecstasy soup, but now that Baili Chi went to befriend the skeleton again, Sang Yufei and the others felt embarrassed to doubt anything.
It's just the peeing nature of their juniors.
Bailichi chatted with the skeletons for a long time before running back and telling them what he just heard.
"These skeletons said that on the opposite side of the lake is the Land of Ten Thousand Bone Flames, which is close to the Burning Prison Mansion, and the ruler of the Burning Prison Mansion is the patriarch of the Prison Bone Clan. The Prison Bone Clan is extreme and likes to capture some foreign cultivators. , there should be someone repairing..."
Wen Qiao and the others felt their hearts move.
"Then what did the Primordial Bone Clan capture Renxiu?" Ning Yuzhou asked.
Bailichi shook his head, "These skeletons don't know either. They are going to the Land of Ten Thousand Bone Flames to find the Flame Bone before they risk crossing the river. If they say it's unnecessary, they must never go to the Burning Heaven Prison."
It seems that the knowledge of these skeletons is also limited.
Wen Qiao reached out and touched Wen Qiuqiu beside her. When she boarded the boat earlier, she secretly asked Wen Qiuqiu that the fairy bone it sensed might be in the corpse lake.
Seeing that they will need to go into the lake at that time.
As for the destination of Bailichi and the others...
Ning Yuzhou asked casually: "Young Master Baili, are you going to Burn Prison and Tianfu?"
Bailichi shook his head first, then nodded, and said, "Let's all go and have a look."
Brothers Sang Yufei and Ge Rusong, who were holding a heart beside them, breathed a sigh of relief when they heard his answer. They were glad that Bailichi hadn't been so stupid to the end, and even told them the purpose of their trip.
Bone boats sail on the lake.
The moon is in the sky, and the lake is quiet, only the sound of the bone boat pushing away the water.
Wen Qiao and the others sat by the window, admiring the beautiful scenery of the moon setting on the lake, and saw a dead body floating on the lake.
"Look, there's a corpse over there!" She hurriedly called out to the people around her.
Everyone looked where she pointed, and it happened that the boat was approaching the corpse, and everyone could see clearly.
This corpse is a female corpse, she floated quietly in the lake, her long black hair spread out in the water, she was wearing a moon-white dress, her pale face was separated from the icy lake, It seemed a little unreal, and it seemed that the next moment, they would open their eyes and look at them.
Obviously there is no breath of life, but this corpse is very well preserved in the water, and even the clothes on his body have no traces of corrosion by the years.
After entering the Thirteenth Mansion of Dry Bones, what they saw and heard was that other than skeletons, they were bones. This was the first time they had seen a person of flesh and blood—even if it was just a corpse, it still surprised them.
Seeing that the boat was about to approach the corpse, everyone did not act rashly.
Gein is the corpse lake here, and the skeletons define it as a dangerous place. It is best not to do unnecessary things before you figure out the situation.
When the bone ship passed by, the corpse was quiet and did not move.
Bailichi turned around and asked a skeleton beside him, "There is a corpse over there, do you know what happened?"
The skeleton who was questioned turned his head and looked outside the ship, and there was a clucking sound.
After hearing what it said, Bailichi's expression was a bit surprised, and he didn't say to them until the boat passed by and left the corpse far away, "The skeleton said just now that this is the lake of fierce corpses, and there are many fierce corpses here." Corpse, let us not care about it."
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized.
Pei Qiyu curled his lips into a smile, "It means that there are many corpses like this in this lake?"
"should be."
"Could it be that they cheat corpses to attack people on board, so they are called vicious corpses?" Pei Qiyu speculated.
Baili nodded late, "Probably."
"That's where it gets interesting."
what's interesting Liu Qingyun and his group looked at Pei Qiyu, and they couldn't help but think that when they fought the Giant Bone Clan earlier, this person actually used the magic bell. That's something for demonic cultivators. How can a righteous spiritual cultivator use a demonic cultivator's weapon
