976 From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes



After bringing the boss and several others into the stone chamber to help Gu Xinglang install the stone slabs and tortoise shells, Yu Xiaoxiao ran to the opposite side and asked Er Gouzi for a piece of clothing. She jumped into the hole in the wall where she and Gu Xinglang found the Nine Dragon Seal, and carefully wrapped up the skeleton that was suspected to be the last emperor of the previous dynasty.

"Do you want to go out and rest in peace? Or do you want to stay here for thousands of years?" Yu Xiaoxiao talked to the skeleton in the cave: "If you want to go out, then show it in some way. If you don't want to, forget it. Just continue to be a quiet skeleton."

A breeze blew past the wall of the cave, lifting a corner of the clothes wrapped around the skeleton, and the fragments of nanmu were blown into the pit by the wind.

"Okay," Yu Xiaoxiao pressed down the corner of her clothes that was lifted up by the wind and said, "I'll take you out." If she could travel through time, why couldn't there be undead in this world?

As soon as Yu Xiaoxiao finished her words, the wind seemed to be blown back by the cave wall in front, caressing Yu Xiaoxiao's face wrapped in clothes.

Yu Xiaoxiao held her chin with her hand and said to the skeleton, "Speaking of which, is Mo Wen really your descendant? This descendant of yours is really a piece of shit, he is extremely bad. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor, if you are still alive, can you accept this descendant of yours for the sake of me taking you out and burying you in peace?"

The eldest boss shouted from below: "Princess, this cloth bag is not enough!"

Yu Xiao: "If it's not enough, use the clothes to wrap it. The poisonous insects are gone, why are you still wrapping your head? Are you stupid?"

The boss turned his head to look at Gu Xinglang who was still squatting there flipping his shell. Wasn't he still wrapping his head with clothes? Who was stupid?

Yu Xiao: "How long will it take you?"

The boss replied angrily, "It's too early!" They thought it was a book at first, but after entering the cave, they realized it was a book? It was a stone slab and a tortoise shell! The tortoise shell was not heavy, but how much effort would it take to move the stone slabs and the stone tablet? The boss even thought darkly that the reason why the guy above divided the spoils first was to make them work hard without regrets, right?

The Second Master was unwilling to give up at this time and asked Gu Xinglang, "Sir, do we have to take all these out?"

Gu Xinglang said: "Yes, bring them all."

The second in command tapped his waist and comforted himself, saying that they couldn't carry it, and the princess was still there!

Yu Xiaoxiao sat with the skeleton for a while, and felt that it was really boring to wait like this, so she simply asked the former pirates for some clothes, stripped the robes of Lord Ruan who was fainted on the ground, and the black-clothed man who sat on the ground like an idiot and didn't say a word for a long time, and ran to the stone wall to collect the skeletons. It doesn't matter if she takes one, ten, or a hundred. Anyway, she has nothing to do, so she might as well take away all the skeletons she can.

The head of the family was sweating profusely. When he squatted at the entrance of the cave to catch his breath, he saw Yu Xiaoxiao jumping up and down on the cave wall like a monkey, so he asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Princess, are you going to take these dead people out?"

Yu Xiao: "Yes, isn't it said that the dead should be buried in peace?"

The boss pointed at the human bones in the pit and asked Yu Xiaoxiao in a rude manner, "What about the ones in here?"

Yu Xiaoxiao... Oh, by the way, she took all the bones out of the coffin, what about the bones in the pit? A pit full of bones!

The eldest boss grinned at Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Princess, well, it's hard for me to carry the 'books' with my brothers, let alone bones."

"Shut up, you bastard!" Yu Xiaoxiao waved her fist at the boss.

The eldest boss happily watched his princess looking at the bones in the pit in worry. When he turned around to look at his own prince consort, he couldn't laugh anymore. The prince consort was still squatting there turning over the turtle shell. This was either crazy or insane!

A former pirate came up to the big boss and whispered, "What on earth are you looking at, Prince Consort? Why does it look like a Bagua diagram to me?"

The boss sighed. Could the Bagua diagram make their prince consort so obsessed?

Yu Xiaoxiao jumped up and down and looked at all the coffins on the wall of the cave again. There were more than a hundred corpses, but only about twenty could be buried in the end. The others turned into ashes and were blown away by the wind, returning to dust.

After carrying the twenty or so corpses to the other side of the cave wall and letting the former pirates watch over them, Yu Xiaoxiao went down into the pit again.

Er Gouzi lay on top of it and said, "Princess, do you want to collect the bones here too?" No matter how Er Gouzi looked at it, this job seemed impossible to complete. Not to mention that there were too many bones, they were just piled together and there was no way to separate them according to the heads.

Yu Xiao: "I'll try and see if I can take it in."

The bones in the pit were not protected by coffins and had been exposed to the air for many years. Looking at the white mass, in fact, many of the bones turned into ash powder immediately when Yu Xiaoxiao touched them with her hands. Yu Xiaoxiao brushed off her hands covered with ashes and looked at the bones around her. Judging from the bones, most of them were young people, and there were also many children's bodies. Many bones had traces of being injured by sharp blades. Looking at these bones, Yu Xiaoxiao did not believe that this was the burial site of the people in Fenggu Village. A normal burial site should have mostly the bodies of the elderly, but this place was just the opposite.

Er Gouzi shouted from above: "Princess, do you want us to come down and help?"

Yu Xiaoxiao waved to Er Gouzi and worked in the pit by herself for a while. She soon cleared out a space and wrapped up the skulls that had not been broken into powder with clothes.

"There aren't many," Yu Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, and continued to clear out the largest pile of bones in the pit. Then Her Royal Highness the Princess saw the iron boxes stacked haphazardly and buried under the bones.

Yu Xiaoxiao was stunned in the pit.

Ergouzi and his brothers were stunned on top of the pit.

"How, how could there be a box? Where is the box?" Er Gouzi asked Yu Xiaoxiao stutteringly.

Yu Xiao: "Yes, why are there boxes under the corpse?" If these are boxes of books, then she can just die!

The big bosses heard Ergouzi shouting "box" in the hole in the wall, and they all ran out to see. Only Gu Xinglang was immersed in the world of military books and formations, and did not react to the word "box".

The eldest boss said: "Princess, you..."

"Don't say anything," Yu Xiaoxiao waved her hand at the pirates in front of her and said, "The more it is at this time, the more we need to keep our composure."

The boss asked nervously, "Then, how can we keep calm?"

Yu Xiaoxiao quickly and efficiently collected all the bones in the pit at the fastest speed she could. No matter what happened here, tragic, sad, or perhaps helpless and desperate, in the end, Yu Xiaoxiao collected only 36 skulls, 55 thigh bones, and a bunch of teeth in this pit that looked like a mountain of bones, with an area of more than 7,000 square meters, the size of a football field, and about 7 meters deep.
