Mortal Bones

"Uncle Shang, what on earth does Dugu Qingxiao have?"

"The sacred object of the Land of Thousand Buddhas, Bodhicitta."

In Yundu Ridge, the Land of Thousand Buddhas, the wind and snow had stopped. A handsome young man and a little girl with pigtails were sitting in a pavilion without a roof and chatting.

"Bodhi... Bodhicitta... Is it... delicious?"

The little girl grabbed a big bun with both hands and took a big bite. Her big black eyes looked at the young man with expectation.

"You can't eat this."

As the young man said this, he reached out and flicked the residue from the little girl's mouth.

Then he picked up a wine bag and took a sip, then turned his head to look at the vast snowfield under the sunlight, and said leisurely:

"For monks, Bodhicitta is a poison. It is invisible and formless, and it is a ghost that floats over the sky of the Thousand Buddhas for thousands of years."

"Every three hundred years or so, it will choose one or two monks to possess it, and use the monk's essence, energy, and spirit as nutrients to produce one or two Bodhi fruits."

"If a mortal takes Bodhi fruit, even if he does not practice, he can enjoy a lifespan of three hundred years."

"If a monk takes it, the Kaimen realm will directly break through the Tongxuan realm, and the Tong The Xuan realm can directly break through the refining spirit, and the refining spirit realm can directly break through the transformation realm. "

"It's just that the picking is a bit cruel, and the heart of the monk must be picked alive."

The little girl didn't seem to understand it very well. She frowned and scratched her head and asked:

"Is it delicious?"

The young man thought about it seriously and nodded:

"The taste is better than all the delicacies in the world."

Hearing this, the little girl suddenly felt that the bun in her hand was not fragrant. She immediately grabbed the corner of the young man's clothes with her greasy little hands and begged:

"Uncle Shang, I want to eat Bodhi fruit!"

"Then I'll go find it."

The young man nodded.

Hearing this, the little girl was immediately happy.

But immediately, her round eyes suddenly blinked, and then she asked the young man with a suspicious look:

"It takes three hundred years for a Bodhi fruit to grow. How do you know what it tastes like, Uncle Shang?"

The young man smiled proudly, then blinked at the little girl and said:

"I have eaten your uncle before."

The little girl widened her eyes in surprise.

"Uncle Shang, you are more than three hundred years old?"

She looked puzzled.

"Why, do you think your uncle Shang is old?"

The young man pretended to be unhappy.

"Yeah, a little."

The little girl nodded heavily.

"Give me back the meat buns."

The young man pretended to take away the plate of buns piled high on the table.

"No!"

The little girl protected the plate with one hand, and didn't forget to hold one in her mouth.

"Help...Help!"

At this moment, a woman's cry for help sounded in the snow ahead.

"Uncle Shang, there is a beautiful girl over there crying for help."

The little girl pointed in the direction of the woman and laughed, licking her lips with her tongue.

...

After a while.

Inside the stone pavilion.

"Girl, have a drink of water."

The young man smiled and handed a water bag to the woman.

"Thank you, my hero."

The woman nodded gratefully, looking very charming.

After drinking a few sips of water, the woman handed the water bag back to the young man.

And just as the young man took the water bag, a small insect quietly crawled into the young man's sleeve along the water bag.

"What's the matter with the girl's injuries?"

The young man asked the woman curiously.

"I am a disciple of Tianxiang Tower. I accidentally separated from my senior brothers. I originally stayed in a dilapidated temple nearby last night. I didn't want to be bullied by a few villains, so I had to escape overnight."

"After I came out, I encountered a wild beast again. I finally escaped after a night of hardship."

The woman looked sad and angry, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, making her originally pitiful face look even more pitiful.

"Don't be sad, sister, I'll let Uncle Shang protect you."

The little girl reached out to help the woman wipe her tears.

"Thank you, little girl."

The woman held the little girl's hand.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the young man next to him suddenly fell headfirst on the stone table, his whole body began to twitch, and dense insects drilled out of his eyes and nose.

"Uncle Shang!"

The little girl saw this scene and screamed in surprise, but when she tried to get close to the young man, she was pulled away by the woman.

"If you don't want to die, stay away from him."

The woman snorted at the little girl, and then threw her into the snow outside the stone pavilion.

She reached out and tore off a human skin mask, revealing a charming and beautiful face.

Who else could it be but the demon girl Su Su?

"He who dares to bring a little girl into the wilderness must be either a sect leader or a child of a noble family, and he must have good things on him."

Su Su smiled cunningly and began to reach out and grope the man.

After leaving the ruined temple last night, in order to deal with the attacks of wild beasts, she used up a lot of talismans and pills on her body, and urgently needed to replenish them.

Otherwise, she would not have risked attacking the young man.

Because anyone with a discerning eye could see that this young man was definitely not an ordinary person.

What surprised Su Su was that.

She really found a lot of good things on this young man, more than ten times more than the two monks last night.

After searching the young man, Su Su's eyes suddenly fell on a mahogany box on the table.

This box looks like it should be used to store weapons.

"No matter what you are, I will take it away first and then talk about it!"

The demon Su Su smiled and reached out to get the wooden box.

But at this moment, the young man who was twitching suddenly stopped twitching and reached out to hold down the wooden box.

"Little girl, you are a little greedy."

The man suddenly raised his head and showed a gentle smile to the witch Su Su with his insect-covered face.
