The pitch-black river was slowly undulating, and the sound of the river slapping, was quiet and deep. Letian stood beside the railing on the bank of the river, looking down with his head down.
On the dark surface of the river, street lights projected on the water in twos and threes, like wide-open eyes.
Le Tian whispered: "Is there a ghost?"
Only the sound of wind and water answered him.
There are many willow trees planted on both sides of the river bank, and the shadows of the trees are swaying and swaying, slowly swaying along with the fluctuation of the river. The railing that Le Tian is holding is cold and wet. When he looked down, the water stains overflowed from the railing. I pulled it lightly and found that it couldn't be pulled open.
It seems that there are still ghosts.
Letian cleared his throat and said calmly, "Hi, I'm not human, can I come out and talk?"
There was no voice response, and the wet touch slowly slid towards Lotte's arm along the palm like a snake. Letian was a little hairy, and said to the system: "I am a blood race. We have a long life span. It shouldn't be so easy to die, right?"
System: "Yeah, it's not easy to die, and it's a good torture object."
Lotte: ...
When the ankle was also locked by water stains, Le Tian really panicked, "I... I am very familiar with Jiugu..."
It's useless to use the title of the male protagonist, Fox and Huwei. The water stains locked Lotte's arms and feet even harder, and Lotte instantly felt like cannon fodder for stupidity in a third-rate horror movie.
As a minor blood race, Letian's abilities are limited, and his super strong arm strength almost broke the railing on the bank of the river, and he still couldn't break free from the water stains that locked him.
"save-"
The water stains suddenly threw Lotte into the river.
When the body fell into the water, there was no feeling of suffocation, just cold, and the ears were filled with water, accompanied by countless small sounds.
"He abandoned me, and I have no meaning in living."
"I have no face to live after being so ugly in public."
"Don't push me... don't push me... sister, don't push me..."
…
Countless small voices overlapped in the ear, Letian's ears and heart almost exploded, his legs and arms were locked by the invisible force in the river, Letian struggled, it seemed that he was sinking more and more, his hands and feet were also being pulled hard.
The body of the blood race is strong, and Le Tian felt that his body was about to split when his arm was about to be torn off, and finally yelled unbearably, "Fuck—you—mother—"
An overwhelming roar came from the air, and the blue flame quickly fell into the water, and the invisible force in the river immediately receded, and Le Tian's clothes were pulled up by something in his vague consciousness.
'crash'
Le Tian was pulled out of the water and was thrown directly onto something hard. He took a few breaths, spit out a few mouthfuls of water, and took a closer look, and found a string of white bones burning with blue flames.
Lotte was taken aback.
The blue flame has no temperature, and the slender bones are extremely hard. This is a ghost horse, which stopped in the middle of the river, with a menacing aura. The white hooves of the horse stomped heavily on the river, and huge ripples spread out in the middle of the river, and the sound of mourning One after another, it's like purgatory.
Le Tian grabbed the ghost horse's neck, tremblingly said: "Are you sent by Jiugu?"
The ghost horse turned its face back, it seemed to be very human, and gently spewed out a mouthful of blue flames, drying the water stains on Letian's body instantly.
Le Tian stared at the bone-strewn ghost horse, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, "Man?"
The ghost horse raised its head to the sky and let out a long howl. The sound was like a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl. Even the wailing on the vibrating river became silent.
The blue flames slid across the air, and this magical city instantly became narrow in front of Letian's eyes. Letian suddenly smiled, put his arms around the horse's neck, and said cheerfully: "Run faster! Find your master!"
The wind blew up Le Tian's shirt, and the speed of the ghost horse was as fast as lightning, but it appeared in front of the antique courtyard in a moment.
It jumped directly onto the wall, stopped in the middle of the yard, and let out a deep roar.
All the ghosts in the yard were awakened, and the gray ghosts were scattered everywhere, and none of them dared to approach.
"Nine bones." Letian called loudly.
The surroundings became quiet, and the silver robe that flowed like water appeared in front of Le Tian in an instant. Le Tian sat on the horse and looked at him at the same level, "Did you make it come to save me?"
Jiu Gu didn't answer, stretched out a skeleton hand, and slowly touched the ghost horse. At the moment of contact, the blue flame immediately rushed past Jiu Gu's fingertips.
The cyan flame ignited Jiu Gu's whole body, and Le Tian held his breath, watching a violently burning cyan flame emerge from the silver hood.
"Nine bones..." Letian instinctively felt that something had happened.
"Thank you," a low voice came out from the silver hood, "You have recovered my soul fire."
At the same time, the bugs on the system side were fixed, and Nine Bone's character design and main storyline appeared in front of it coherently, and also appeared in front of Lotte.
Nine Bones: A human wizard who used the forbidden technique in an attempt to live forever, suffered the backlash of the forbidden technique, and became an immortal, immortal, immortal bone.
In order to lift the curse, he has been looking for the person who is destined to change his lonely fate, until that person appears...
System: "!!! This setting is supposed to be with the heroine?"
Le Tian: "This setting...doesn't it refer to me?"
The system crashed, the characters followed the hero before, but now the main story follows the hero? It's simply outrageous!
Jiu Gu's mood was extremely excited, probably because he had lived too long, he didn't even get excited, the burning sensation of the soul fire burning on his body made him feel fulfilled for a long time.
It's been too long, the days when I didn't feel anything.
The hole-eyes burning with will-o'-the-wisps stared at Yuan Letian with a dazed face. No wonder, from the first time he saw Yuan Letian, he had a very special feeling. Unfortunately, his mood had been smoothed over the long years. Discover the inner impulse in time.
But it's not too late.
Jiugu touched the ghost horse, and said to Yuan Letian, "Come with me."
Le Tian rode a ghost horse, followed Jiu Gu and fell into a dark space. Every time Jiu Gu appeared, it was so dark.
The fingertips of the withered bones in the silver robe were burning with blue flames, and with a light touch, the pitch-black space was cut open.
Only then did Le Tian discover that there was a huge altar in the dark space.
A coffin was lying in the center, and the four corners were locked with chains. The nine bones floated over, and the same blue flame was drawn on it with the fingertips. The four chains and the large coffin were all lit with blue flames.
For some reason, the cyan flame burning on the ghost horse made Letian feel peaceful, but once the coffin was on fire, it immediately made people feel eerie.
Standing by the coffin, Jiu Gu waved to Yuan Letian, "Come here."
Le Tian swallowed, dismounted, patted the horse's back, and walked to Jiu Gu's side step by step, and Jiu Gu took his hand.
The cold skeleton's bones were embedded in his fingers one by one, and Jiugu pulled his hand and slid it on the chain.
There was a slight tingling sensation, and blood oozed from the palm, and the chains burning with blue flames instantly turned red, and then turned into pitch black again.
Le Tian said: "What does this mean?"
Jiu Gu squeezed his hand, "It means...you are my predestined person."
System: ... It's over, it's over, the main line is off by a thousand miles.
Le Tian was ecstatic in his heart, and said calmly on the surface: "I don't understand."
Jiugu said softly: "You will understand after a while."
Sanmao was very interested in the ghost horse that appeared, but he felt hot all over when he got close to the ghost horse. Xiaoying also didn't dare to approach it. She felt that the horse was full of bones, which was scary.
Le Tian calmly stroked the blue flame on the ghost horse, and said to the three cats: "Who is the coward?"
The three cats refused to accept, gritted their teeth and stepped forward. When they stretched out their hands to approach, they felt unbearable pain in their palms. They took them back and said angrily, "Where did you find such a weird horse? It's too bad!"
"Come on, Xiaoying, don't be afraid, come and touch." Letian encouraged Xiaoying enthusiastically, "Three cats can't do it, you can do it!"
With the encouragement and support of Letian, Xiaoying touched the horse on tiptoe, and said pleasantly, "It's cool."
"Cool?" San Mao couldn't believe it, "How is it possible, I'm almost burnt to death!"
He didn't believe in evil, and tried again, but was still dissuaded by the extremely hot experience, so angry that he ran back to the house to vent his anger on the ghost, and Xiaoying hurriedly chased after him.
Le Tian laughed in the yard for a while, and then his expression returned to seriousness. Why can he touch, Xiaoying can touch, but Sanmao can't
The burning horse was revealed yesterday by Jiu Gu, and it was his soul fire.
Letian asked the system: "Do you know the relationship between Jiugu and Sanmao?"
System: "Jiugu was cursed by Sanmao's ancestor."
With Lotte summoning this ghost horse, although the main line has gone a thousand miles away, all the world settings that should have jumped out.
Three Cats: The Undead, the only extant group of immortality.
He is the last one.
Le Tian: "Since he is an undead clan, what about his clansmen? Why is he the last one?"
System: "Nine Bones used their entire clan of undead to perform forbidden spells. The undead almost wiped out, leaving only three cats."
Le Tian: ... To be reasonable, this hero is set up like a villain.
Adopted by his own genocide enemy... Le Tian glanced at the yard, with his blood-clan vision, he could see the three cats chasing Xiaoyingwan with all their teeth and claws, with a smile on his face that he would no longer be lonely after having a playmate.
Le Tian: "He has three cats, it must not be because of guilt."
System: "Yes, you must have the blood of the undead to break the curse."
Letian: "... what about me?"
System: "You are also indispensable, originally it was the heroine's, but...forget it."
In the original world, Jiang Mo'er has a super supernatural physique, not only the bride of the blood race, but also the one who is destined to break the spell by Jiugu. During the contact with the heroine, Jiugu fell in love with the heroine hopelessly. , couldn't bear to use the heroine's life to lift the curse, and after spending her short life with the heroine, he would repent of his mistakes in the pain of losing his lover forever and ever.
Lotte: This kind of setting feels overwhelming on Jiugu.
So now that the pressure is on his side, Le Tian numbly said: "So Jiugu will fall in love with me hopelessly, and then give up lifting the curse for me, and repent of his mistakes forever?"
System: "Maybe he will use you to lift the curse, and then become a living person smoothly, what about the heroine?"
The main line may change, but the hero and heroine... Anyway, the system trusts the hero and heroine a little bit... Forget it, it just talks casually.
Le Tian didn't care about the system's unrestrained assumptions at all. He really wanted to help Jiugu lift the curse, but if it was at the cost of his life, then I'm sorry, he'd better consider the possibility of falling in love with a skeleton. .
