piecing together the soul

Chapter 26 21 How do living people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages

That's right, it was a human voice, full of anxiety.Xiaohan quickly leaned against the wall and listened outside. I also walked a few steps outside and heard voices outside.

"Where?"

"Where is the ghost?"

"What skeleton? Where is the thing you said?"

"It's in the imperial garden! Look, look! It's hanging on the guardrail! By that tree! Am I right?"

"Huh? What does it smell like?"

"Yes, it smells great!"

"Here, here! This side of the rockery!"

not good!They must have smelled the moxa sticks!That stuff smells great!I looked at Xiaohan in panic, they couldn't see me, but what should Xiaohan do?
Xiao Han was still stuck to the cave wall, hearing them gradually approaching, just sighed, poured some liquid on the pile of bones, then took out a match, struck it over there and ignited the pile of bones The corpse, then turned around and ran inside.

"Hey, what are you doing?" I asked, "It's not sure whether you can get out from here, but you just blocked the mouth on the other side!"

"It's just to block them," Xiao Han said, and ran inside, "If they really want to come down, they just need to put out the fire. Don't forget that there is still a bald dead body outside, and I have a If they caught me with such a mess, I would have a thousand mouths to tell! Although I may not be able to get out here, but if they see it, I will definitely not be able to get out!"

But I didn't follow immediately, but said: "You run first, I'll help you take a look."

"Xiuying, don't go."

I didn't listen to him, and walked outside. The burning flames over there had covered the entrance of the cave. I wanted to get closer, but I felt a little uneasy. It should be related to the moxa stick.So I stopped and vaguely heard people outside still arguing.

"Is there a fire in here? Why is there smoke?"

"Look! There's a dead man in the pit!"

"There are still skeletons hanging from the branches over there! It's scary!"

"It's still moving! My God! What the hell!"

"Ah! Look at that skeleton! He! He's coming towards us!"

"Don't be afraid! I'll deal with him!"

"It's the middle of the night! Don't fight ghosts! Don't be a hero!"

"Run! Let's run!"

I thought there were a lot of people just now, but now I heard it was five or six, maybe they were frightened by the walking dead, so they ran away.I didn't go, just kept listening.The walking corpse was indeed chasing them, but when it reached the entrance of the cave, it turned around suddenly and jumped down.

I couldn't see him through the firelight, so I could barely pick out the sound of his activities from the "crackling" burning sound.

The walking corpse really has no brains, he actually walked directly into the fire!Now I see him.

Seeing that the skeleton started to burn from under its feet, then became unstable and fell into the fire, and the ghost struggled to run out under the action of the moxa stick. It is unknown whether he finally escaped or not.

I was about to go back to find Xiaohan, but I heard the voices of those people outside appearing again.

"What's in this pothole? How can the skeleton go in and not come out?"

"He must have walked here and fallen in?"

"No, he obviously walked in by himself!"

"There must be something evil in this hole! You see, that person also died here."

"Then, what should we do? Shall we go down and see?"

"What do you want to do? Do you dare to do it?"

"If you want me to say, let's just fill up this hole! We even buried this man here."

"Yes, yes, yes! I think it's so good too! It's unnoticed."

"Then hurry up! Hurry up sooner rather than later, before more people know about it."

"Okay, I happen to have a shovel with me, let's do it!"

Then, there was a real sound of shoveling soil, and they said, "You must not let this matter go out, do you know? Did you hear that? You're almost scared to death, right?"

"How dare I spread the word? I wish this was a dream! I'll forget it when I wake up!"

They filled the soil one shovel after another, and as they filled the soil, my heart gradually became more at ease—at least I would not be discovered by them.So, I went inside, looking for Xiaohan, I didn't know how far I walked in the darkness, and I saw Xiaohan sitting on the ground waiting for me.

"Finally you're back." Xiao Han complained, "I told you not to go, otherwise we might not have gone so far now, and I have to wait for you here!"

"I didn't make the trip in vain," I said, "at least I know they've filled the hole, so we don't have to worry about it."

Xiao Han took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and said, "It's getting too noisy, let's find an exit."

"Where are we going?"

Xiaohan turned on the compass on her mobile phone while walking, looked at it and said, "We are heading north, and we will leave the Forbidden City after a while."

"Didn't you throw your phone away?" I asked.Xiao Han smiled and said, "That's right, this is the local tyrant's gold that Qingluan picked up. I can't contact you, but the other functions are quite complete."

I followed two steps and said, "Xiaohan, I wanted to ask you just now, how can you conclude that there is something wrong here?"

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Because there were so many skulls outside before."

"What happened to the pile of skulls?"

"Those bones are very similar to the 'seal the yin bone' that my father told me."
