The movement outside gradually subsided, Qi Tong pushed the closet open a small gap, saw a cradle on one side of the room, and could vaguely see a piece of blue swaddling clothes, one of which was lying sideways on a large piece of toy jigsaw puzzle. It moves occasionally, but the direction of the eye sockets is always firmly fixed to the cradle.

The sound of clinking cups and plates came from outside the room, and another dead bone seemed to be guarding the living room.

The structure of this house put them in a dilemma. Going out through the wall through the original path, there is a high probability that they will collide with the dead bone in the living room.

Withered bones are different from all kinds of ghosts in the underworld. Qi Tong has only heard of this kind of thing that is neither human nor ghost before. Can the method of restraining people and ghosts be used in the same way on withered bones? Reason tells him not to try rashly, at least Don't try it now.

"Are they taking the flesh of a living person just now?"

He Zhen built a sound barrier in this small space.

"Well, that's called the Bone and Flesh Lamp. The Flesh Lamp takes the flesh and blood of living people, and the Bone Lamp refines the flesh and blood into new skins." Qi Tong said: "I heard about it in Fengdu City hundreds of years ago, but I didn't know about it." After going through so many rumors, I didn't expect that someone would actually use this crooked way."

"They should only be able to move in this illusion that overlaps with the sun, and take advantage of the night when people are asleep and unconscious, so pets and babies with light souls are so restless at night." He Zhen remembered the two The living person disappeared without a trace in the environment after waking up, "What will happen if we break the illusion?"

"It's only a matter of time before the illusion is broken, but they..." Qi Tong turned his head to the outside of the cabinet door, "there is a high probability that they will lose their souls."

He Zhen was immediately discouraged, and exhaustedly placed half of his body weight on Qi Tong's body. The natural movement made Qi Tong stiffen his arms and dare not move.

He couldn't help but think of the little fairy's cute appearance towards him in the hot pot restaurant, and the hand stretched out towards him in the corridor.

"Is he teasing me?" Qi Tong really suspected that this little fairy was coveting his own beauty, so he made such intimate behaviors one after another when they met for the first time.

Just when Qi Tong was about to help the person leaning on his shoulder, He Zhen straightened up first, raised his hand to remove the sound insulation barrier, and his movements were crisp, as if the act of getting close just now was completely an illusion of Qi Tong.

Qi Tong wiped his nose in embarrassment, looked through the crack of the door, and saw the dead bone in the room was standing by the window and cursing against the window, and the next second, another dead bone was holding a bone-chopping knife in an aggressive manner broke in.

"Little bitch, you're addicted to being a bitch, right?"

"You, don't be jealous of us, it's your life, and it's useless to live."

"What nonsense are you talking to her? Get rid of her quickly!"

Qi Tong opened the closet door a little wider, and saw a six or seven-year-old dead bone clinging to the window outside the window. It grabbed the joints of the window and door, but it couldn't move. It was about to get a small dry bone in through the window. The other dry bone was completely impatient, grabbed the knife from the person next to it, and aimed at the joints on the window door. swung down.

There was a shrill scream outside the window, several joints fell on the floor of the room, and the small withered bone outside the window lost the grip of the finger bones, and the small body instantly fell from the tall building and disappeared into the In everyone's sight.

Snapped--

The window door was slammed shut, and the one who was wielding the knife threw the bone-chopping knife on the ground with a flick of his hand, "It's so fucking unlucky, I should be dead this time, right?"

"Fall from such a height, that little brittle bone should be shattered into slag."

The blue swaddle on the cradle squirmed, and the little person inside seemed to feel uneasy and struggled with his little hands and feet. A corner was accidentally lifted, and Qi Tong clearly saw that the skeleton inside the swaddle was still a skeleton without flesh and blood.

"What are you doing?"

The pungent voice reverberating in the room was particularly ear-piercing, and the withered bone wielding a knife picked up a corner of the swaddle, and suddenly chuckled.

"You are much luckier than your bitch sister. If it weren't for the fact that the skin and flesh you want to replace is a baby boy, it would have been buried in the soil to feed the bugs."

"Okay, it should be quiet today, go to bed quickly, take two more drops of blood tomorrow and we will meet the standard."

"Yes." Another sighed contentedly, "After tomorrow, we will have a house, a car and a son."

The footsteps of bones hitting the ground gradually disappeared outside the door, and finally the sound of the door being closed. After waiting for a few minutes and confirming that the two would not come in again, Qi Tong took He Zhen's arm and turned around to walk out of the closet.

Qi Tong walked to the cradle with light steps, opened the swaddling clothes and looked, a baby's withered bones were wrapped inside, two empty eye sockets stared straight at Qi Tong, and the tiny bones of hands and feet kicked into the air from time to time to show off its cuteness , seems to be in a good mood?

However, Qi Tong really didn't have the aesthetics in this aspect, so he withdrew his hand and took two steps back in embarrassment, and slowly shifted his gaze to He Zhen. , The window of the soul was washed bright in an instant.

He Zhen on the other side had no idea that he was being treated as a detergent. He suddenly stretched out his hand and opened the window, frowning and looking out the window.

"What's wrong?" Qi Tong walked over and asked.

"There's something down there."

There are two white wires hooked on the shelf of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner downstairs, and it seems that something is swinging under the outdoor unit.

He Zhen suddenly grabbed Qi Tong's arm, "It's the little girl who just fell."

It turned out that what was on the shelf was not a white thread at all, but two finger bones of a child.While they were talking, one of the joints couldn't support it and slipped down, and the small skeleton shook violently. Only then did they see clearly that the other hand of the withered bone was only a bare palm with five fingers. The bone now lay at their feet.

Qi Tong turned his head and looked at the people around him, once again miraculously confirmed that the other person's thoughts were the same as his own, closed the window and door without saying a word, grabbed the other person's hand and jumped from the fifteenth floor through the wall in front of him go down.

There was no sense of weightlessness all over his body, He Zhen led him to fly to the side of the little withered bone, and saw several skeletons scattered on the wall not far away, and several withered bones below had noticed them , Qi Tong didn't dare to delay, and quickly hugged the girl hanging on the air-conditioning rack. The next second after taking the girl, he found himself thrown into the nearest corridor window by He Zhen.

Qi Tong:......

In order not to let this little bone be crushed by himself, Qi Tong did not forget to turn over when he landed, hugged the little girl in his arms, and made intimate contact with the floor with his back down.

The light seeping in from the window dimmed and brightened again, it was He Zhen who jumped off the window sill.I saw Qi Tong put the little dry bone aside, and sat up from the ground expressionlessly, "Do you know? It was my dad who dared to throw me like this last time."

He remembered that it was more than 1000 years ago. He was still very young, and his figure had grown to the appearance of an eight or nine-year-old child in the human world.

One time Pluto went to the human world to do business, and he took him with him. When he came back, Pluto took him to a famous local teahouse for breakfast. , cool weather is best for sleeping, and even the vendors on the road came later than usual.

Before leaving, Qi Tong heard a crisp laughter coming to the second floor of the teahouse where he was. He looked out of the window and found a little boy holding his parents' hands and jumping over a puddle.

After the rain, there were still deep and shallow puddles on the ground. Every time the boy passed one, he held his parents' hands and jumped up. Being able to swing a small arc in mid-air, the child played vigorously, and the pleasant laughter brightened Qi Tong's mood.

He went down to the counter on the first floor, and Pluto was packing a few pastries to the store to take back to the underworld. Qi Tong was spinning around the lobby boredly. When he turned to the door, he found that the little boy was actually sitting on the stool at the wonton booth opposite. , the kind old grandma was serving a bowl of hot wontons and putting them in front of him.

Qi Tong walked over curiously. The child looked only four or five years old. He was white and tender like a snow dumpling. He sat on the bench and his feet couldn't reach the ground. He scooped up a wonton and blew it with his mouth puffed. It took a long time to take a small bite. The wonton should taste good. Xuetuanzi squinted her eyes happily.

Qi Tong was so cute that he couldn't control his legs, so he walked over and sat next to Xiaoxue Duanzi, causing the child to raise his head and look at him curiously.Sitting so close now, Qi Tong found that this little dumpling was really cute, and his heart melted with those big clear eyes blinking.

"Why are you sitting here alone?" Qi Tong asked.

"Father and mother have gone to the pharmacy, let me wait for them here." The child looked up at Qi Tong, and answered every word very seriously.

Qi Tong looked around, and sure enough there was a pharmacy on the corner of the street. The child's parents probably went to get some medicine, and asked the grandmother at the wonton stand to take care of him first.Turning around, I found that the child was still looking at him, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his fleshy cheek, "What's your name?"

The child was startled by Qi Tong's action, and slapped Qi Tong away with his little palm and moved to the other side of the bench, "I won't tell you!"

The stool was not wide at all, and the child couldn't sit still, and almost fell off the stool. Qi Tong quickly supported him, but Xiaotuanzi was still frightened, and his pretty eyes turned red all of a sudden, and Qi Tong's heart skipped a beat. Soft, patted his cheeks on both sides and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will protect you, don't be afraid."

After hearing this, Xiaotuanzi's eyes became redder for some reason, and tears swirled in the center of his eyes, and a tear slipped down quickly. Qi Tong hurriedly wiped his tears away, "Why are you crying? Don't cry."

"I won't see you for a while, so you're here to bully people?" A familiar voice came from behind, and Pluto came behind him at some point, and the carriage they were sitting in also stopped aside.

"I didn't..." Before Qi Tonghua finished speaking, Pluto picked her up and threw them into the carriage, followed by two packs of mung bean cakes that he had been clamoring for.

Later, Qi Tong had forgotten whether he had coaxed Xiaotuanzi well.

Since he went to the human world alone to practice and was seriously injured 1000 years ago, he has forgotten some things before that. After recovering from his injuries, the medical officer and Pluto checked his memory and told him that what he forgot was not important. It's not good for him to call him back, not to mention they have no way to call him back. As time goes by, Qi Tong also let nature take its course.

******

"Are you hurt?"

Qi Tong came back to his senses, and saw He Zhen walked in front of him and knelt down, checking whether he was injured with a face full of self-blame, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that my current spiritual power can't support three people."

I don't know if it was an illusion caused by too dark light, Qi Tong always felt that He Zhen's red eyes seemed to be crying, and the person in front of him inexplicably overlapped with the face of that Xue Tuanzi from thousands of years ago, and Qi Tong stretched out his hand towards him in a strange way .

He Zhen looked at him motionless, not knowing what he was going to do, the corner of his mouth curled down a small arc because of self-blame, it was so cute.

At that moment, the thought of wanting to bully someone ran into Qi Tong's mind after a thousand years, and he grabbed the other person's cheek while people were not paying attention.

Although he didn't use any strength, He Zhen was still startled by him, and his body was so frightened that he leaned back, and supported the floor with his right hand so as not to let himself fall down.

Qi Tong: "It's okay, revenge."

He Zhen stared at him without any deterrent force, reached out and slapped his paw on her face, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Qi Tong stood up neatly, "It's not porcelain, can it be broken if you drop it?"

"However, I'm very pleased that you finally have a correct understanding of your current strength." The rookie veteran added without sympathy.

He Zhen, who was forcibly pulled into the ranks of rookies, gave a faint oh, pointed to the little withered bone sitting beside him and asked, "What's going on with this?"

"The soul is almost gone." Qi Tong lightly touched the top of Xiaokugu's head with his fingertips, and a ray of silvery white light shone around her, but it quickly dissipated like smoke.

"Is she still conscious?"

"It should have been there just now." Qi Tong circled around her, the dry bones were still unaware, and sat motionless, "But it doesn't look like it lasted for a long time."

The people at the side suddenly fell silent, and He Zhen was staring at the little girl's broken hand in a daze. After a long time, an imperceptible sigh floated in the air, "Since you gave birth to her, why don't you want her?"

He didn't have much emotion when he said this, but Qi Tong didn't want to tell him "because she is a girl", nor did he want to tell him "if her parents knew she was a girl, she wouldn't even have the chance to meet the world "Because for no reason, Qi Tong felt that He Zhen was a little sad, not only because of this girl, but there seemed to be an unexplainable, distant and long-lasting gloom in him.

The quiet atmosphere didn't last long, the little bone who had been sitting motionless on the ground suddenly stood up, and the two couldn't help taking a step back at the same time.

But the empty eye sockets of the little dry bone didn't even look at them, dragging the broken skeleton with stiff steps, it melted into the dark corridor, and disappeared around the corner.

The two hurriedly followed, turning the corner was the corridor where the residents of this floor lived. The only light on the ceiling was flickering on and off, as if it would die at any moment.

It turns out that in strange circumstances, any weird premonition will come true the next second, and if not, wait another second.

Just when they were less than three steps away from the dead bones, the light in the corridor stabilized at a comfortable brightness like a flash of light. When people just got used to it, they heard a snap, and the light went out completely.

From bright to dark, this process is not only uncomfortable for the eyes, but also irritating psychologically.A tiny air current blew past him. It should be that He Zhen moved beside him. Qi Tong followed the movement and reached out and grabbed his teammate. His fingertips touched the cool skin. He relaxed a little and asked : "Do you want me to set up a lamp?"

A laugh came from the other side, "Can you still place lamps? That's not so good, I'm so relieved."

It was rare that He Zhen made half a joke jokingly, but at that moment Qi Tong felt the cool wind blowing from the back of his head all the way to the top of his head, making his scalp numb.

Just now He Zhen's voice came from behind him on the right, so who is he holding in his left hand now? !
