Yue Jiunian looked at the thing with disgust. The thing seemed to be observing Yue Jiunian as well. It remained motionless, and some foul-smelling liquid kept dripping from its body.
Yue Jiunian stared at the thing for a while, but finally couldn't help but speak first: "Hey, can you be a little more hygienic? Look at this floor, you've made it all dirty."
As soon as Yue Jiunian finished speaking, the thing above jumped down with a 'thud'. As soon as Yue Jiunian saw it coming down, she immediately took a few steps back to make room for it. There was nothing she could do, since the creature had been lying on the ground when it came down.
"Coo coo coo~"
After that thing came down, it stared at Yue Jiunian warily, making a warning sound in its throat. It seemed that it was a little afraid of Yue Jiunian.
Yue Jiu Nian knew what it was afraid of and had a rough idea of what it was. When she smelled the stench, she guessed that it was something raised in the nearby tombs.
The reason that thing was afraid of Yue Jiu Nian was probably because the demonic aura emanating from Yue Jiu Nian made it feel threatened.
Regardless of what the thing wanted or whether it could understand her, Yue Jiunian covered her nose and said to it, "Hey, do you often play here? Do you know if there's a corpse here, or a cat's corpse?"
When the creature saw Yue Jiu Nian asking it a question, it wasn't as nervous as before. It seemed to understand, and it shook its head slightly at Yue Jiu Nian and even stuck out its tongue.
Its tongue was a bit long, and when it stuck out, some saliva came out with it. When Yue Jiu Nian saw this disgusting action, she quickly stopped it: "Okay, okay, I know, don't stick your tongue out like that, it's very unhygienic."
The thing seemed to understand what he said, and then stopped sticking out its tongue. Instead, it turned around and was about to leave.
At this point, Yue Jiu Nian could clearly see what it looked like. It looked very human, with limbs like a human, but its skin was not very good. It was dark, pitted, rough, and had a lot of mucus. Its head was also like a human's, with eyes and a nose, but it had no hair and looked very ugly and disgusting.
Yue Jiu felt uncomfortable seeing it crawling like a lizard. Didn't it get tired walking like that? It could stand up and walk, couldn't it?
Although Yue Jiu Nian was complaining in her heart, she had no intention of teaching it to walk, so she could only follow behind it.
If you keep going down inside the cave, it's not very long. However, the cave doesn't have just one path; there's a fork in the road.
So when Yue Jiu Nian saw the fork in the road and the end of the cave, she finally understood why there was this strange thing here, because the cave was connected to a cemetery.
Another entrance to the cave was also blocked by a large rock, but this entrance was not completely blocked, and there was a gap on the side that allowed people to bend down and pass through.
The fork in the road is right at the entrance to the cave. The passage on the other side of the fork is clearly dug by people. It looks like the people who dug the passage first went into the cave and then dug the tunnel inside.
Yue Jiunian watched the ghostly thing crawl into the fork in the road, hesitated for a moment, and then followed it in. The thing didn't react after seeing Yue Jiunian follow it in, and continued crawling ahead, completely ignoring Yue Jiunian who was following behind it.
"Tsk tsk~ Who is the owner of your house? No one comes to pay respects at his grave even though he lives in this place. Isn't he pitiful?"
As Yue Jiunian walked, she talked to the ghostly thing. Actually, Yue Jiunian couldn't understand why humans would take so many treasures with them when they died.
When a person dies, they have nothing left. What's the use of carrying those things with them? Moreover, high-ranking officials and nobles build tombs that are hidden very well, for fear that people will dig them up after they die, and their descendants can't come to pay their respects. How pitiful that is, that no one will come to worship them even as ghosts.
