Chapter 184

184 Everywhere he passed was desolate.

Only when he scared a few jackdaws when he landed did Xiang Jiannan loosen his grip on Qiao Yun's arm.

It was my first long-distance flight and I had no experience. I just felt empty under my feet and the whole journey was filled with scenery.

Withered vines, old trees, and no one in sight.

The route chosen by Qiao Yun was very remote, which was closer to reality than her master's magical travel method.

It was similar to the flying method I had in mind, but because I was nervous, I didn’t have the courage to strike the correct position.

Is this where she wants to bring me? The snake demon's residence is not in the deep mountains or forests.

"Is this the place?"

The first thing that caught his eye was a large stone tablet, which was not very clear, so Xiang Jiannan turned his head and asked.

He felt that he had seen that large stone tablet somewhere before, but he immediately dismissed the idea.

Stone tablets are very common. Apart from the possible difference in size, it is normal to see them as familiar.

I can't see the inscription on it.

Regardless of whether he would repay the favor or not, Xiang Jiannan was feeling a little confused as he was alone in the wilderness.

It started after I saw the stone tablet.

"That's the stone tablet in front."

The red dress was more eye-catching in the present, and Qiao Yun spoke, pointing at the stone tablet some distance away from the two of them.

"I just discovered this place by accident. Young Taoist priest, please don't take any action later."

"It's natural. I know it."

After being reminded by Qiao Yun, Xiang Jiannan directly put on the gourd at his waist. In the end, he still did not bring Guan Gong's sword. As Xiang Jiannan spoke, he only felt regretful in his heart.

If it wasn't so sudden, I would definitely take Guan Gong's sword. It's not because I'm a coward, but I just want Xiang Jiannan's weapon to be seen by the world.

While muttering to himself, he followed Qiao Yun with quick steps and soon arrived in front of the large stone tablet.

Xiang Jiannan was puzzled when he saw it before he got close to it. It was not until he stood in front of the stone tablet and looked at it carefully that he was sure that he had been here before.

Li family ancestral tomb, a few months ago.

There seemed to be a lot more inscriptions on it, and it looked like it was carved not long ago.

"Why did you bring me to this place?"

After hesitating for a while, he still didn't dare to stretch out his hand. Without saying a word, he clearly expressed that he had been here before. Xiang Jiannan asked Qiao Yun from the side.

The Li family's ancestral tomb left an indelible shadow on him. That night, he and his master dug the grave mound together.

It has been a long time since I last saw Mr. Li. I never dreamed that I would come here today with a snake demon.

"Don't be anxious, little Taoist priest."

He touched the stone tablet and smiled at Xiang Jiannan, then turned his head and his expression became stern, and Qiao Yun let out a cold shout.

Xiang Jiannan took two steps back when he saw the stone tablet in front of him suddenly break.

What does it mean? Why would you break someone else's tombstone for no reason? If Mr. Li knew about this, he would go to Ping An Temple to find me and kill me.

Are you sure you don't want to trick Xiang Jiannan?

"Is there something hidden in this monument?"

Naturally, there was no need to say more at this point. Seeing the stone tablet suddenly break in the middle, Xiang Jiannan knew that Qiao Yun must have her reasons for doing so.

The strength is quite good. The cut of the stone tablet that was broken in the middle is neat. After Xiang Jiannan's careful observation, he found that there is indeed nothing inside. It is solid.

"No, the things are in the tomb at the back."

The stone tablet broke as if a worry had been resolved. After saying this, Qiao Yun took a few steps forward and pointed at the grave mound beside her: "Young Taoist priest, please watch carefully later. If necessary, remember to protect yourself."

Then he raised his hand and pointed at the grave mound. After a while, he heard the sound of water splashing from inside.

As the soil outside gradually became moist, Xiang Jiannan seemed to finally understand what was going on.

Although I don’t know why the stone tablet had to be broken first, there must be something wrong with the grave mound behind it.

The last time he and his master dug, they didn't hear this kind of noise. Is water coming in again?

In broad daylight, again! Squinting his eyes, he heard the sound of wind in his ears, and the hairs on Xiang Jiannan's body suddenly stood up again.

He heard the childlike crying again, but unlike that night, the sound this time was particularly clear.

After two sounds from the grave, the sound of the water was completely covered up and gradually became continuous.

"Is there a ghost in this grave?"

He summoned out green energy with great force. Seeing that Qiao Yun's expression remained unchanged, Xiang Jiannan was not as calm as her.

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

He thought nothing would happen in broad daylight, but after the crying started, his body became a little out of control.

To say you are not afraid is to deceive yourself.

Xiang Jiannan could not stand this kind of torment, especially when his master was not around.

Although I think there is no difference.

"The stuff in there won't hurt anyone."

Seeing Xiang Jiannan summoning the green energy in an attacking state, although she had warned him to be careful before, Qiao Yun still felt that the young Taoist priest did not need to be so serious.

The things in the tomb are not that scary, they are just a little scary before they come out. It will be fine when they see the sunlight, as we will take them away later.

Puff, puff, puff.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the soil on the top of the grave mound scattered, and soon a small hand appeared.

After stretching out from the grave, he grabbed the mud beside him randomly. He was swollen as if he had been soaked in water for a long time.

Xiang Jiannan's heart beat faster and faster until the top of the grave in front of him suddenly moved, and a naked, pale child finally crawled out from it.

He was completely naked, and when the sun shone on his skin, something like moss fell off instantly. He didn't look creepy, but there was no trace of blood.

He squatted on the grave and continued crying. He wanted to move a few more steps but was unable to get down to the ground.

"Isn't the Li family immortal buried in this tomb?"

He felt his heart returning to its original position again. Seeing the child standing on top of the grave crying louder and louder, Xiang Jiannan didn't know what to do.

This kind of thing should be dealt with by the old Taoist priest. He is knowledgeable and will definitely not be able to just watch like me.

It has to be said that the hearts of these demons are extremely strong. After all, I have experienced many ups and downs, and they will show their true colors when encountering such things.

This is a memory ingrained in human nature, and when we encounter something unknown, we will feel fear.

I thought I had overcome it long ago.

"This is my reward. The remains of the Li family's ancestors are long gone, and the stone tablets are newly carved."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pulled the child on top of the grave into his hand. Before he could ask Qiao Yun anything, Xiang Jiannan saw the grave mound in front of him officially erupt.

A stream of black water gushed out, completely opening the grave mound, and the target seemed to be him and Qiao Yun.

He quickly jumped up to dodge. Although he had green energy at hand, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Just as he was panicking, he saw Qiao Yun flying in front of him, pointing his hand at the ground, and the black water that was about to rush to his feet suddenly stopped.

As his feet left the ground again, the child lying on Qiao Yun's shoulder was staring at him.

With his mouth wide open, a chill blew in his face. He seemed to want to laugh, but in the blink of an eye, half of his face fell off.
