Mortal Bones

"Lin...Buyu?"

Xu Taiping's heart trembled.

He thought, how could it be such a coincidence that she has the same name as Junior Sister Lin Buyu from the Sixth Peak.

With this thought in mind, Xu Taiping immediately looked at the little girl in front of him carefully, and then recalled Lin Buyu's appearance, and found that there was only a little similarity between her eyebrows and eyes.

"Wait, that's not right!"

Just when Xu Taiping was about to deny his guess, a face suddenly appeared in his mind-

Lin Buyu's face when he was young.

To be precise, it was the young Lin Buyu he met in front of the mountain gate when he first entered Qingxuan.

Then, he compared the face of Lin Buyu when he was young with the little girl in front of him.

"This little girl is at least 80% similar to Junior Sister Buyu when she was a child!"

Xu Taiping's heart was shocked.

The reason why it is said to be 80% similar is because the Lin Buyu in front of him at this moment is younger than the Lin Buyu he first met.

Lin Buyu was at least ten years old at that time, but the Lin Buyu in front of Xu Taiping was only six or seven years old at most.

"Could it be that I saw my junior sister Buyu when I was a child during my soul travel in the void this time?!"

Combining the experience of my soul travel in the void last time, Xu Taiping suddenly made a bold guess in his heart.

"Buyu, why are you locked up here?"

Xu Taiping pushed aside the strand of hair hanging in front of Lin Buyu's eyes.

"My pet Huang is missing, and my brother lied to me that he was in the cave."

"But after we came to the cave, he killed Huang in front of me and locked me up here."

When he said this, Lin Buyu turned his head and looked at the rotten corpse of a puppy in front of him.

"Why did your brother do this to you?"

While asking this, Xu Taiping stood up and looked around the cave.

"I don't know."

"After my mother left, my brother seemed to have become a different person. He often stayed in his room for months without coming out."

"Then one day, he suddenly ran to me happily and told me that he had found a way."

"He found a way to make him and me never separate again."

"Later, he tricked me here."

"He said that as long as I stayed here, I would not leave him like my mother did."

After listening to Xiaolin Buyu's story, Xu Taiping suddenly felt horrified.

"Staying here means waiting to die, isn't it?"

At this time, Xu Taiping had already discovered that the entrance to the cave dungeon had been completely blocked by large stones.

Even if Xiaolin Buyu didn't have shackles on his hands and feet, he couldn't escape.

He thought of a possibility and immediately looked down at the ground.

As expected, he found that the ground of the dungeon was densely painted with various blood-colored rune patterns, and a blood flag was planted in each of the four corners of the dungeon.

"If I remember correctly, this should be a formation for refining corpse puppets."

"Could it be that the brother of this little Lin Buyu wants to refine her into a corpse puppet?"

No matter whether the Lin Buyu in front of him is the Lin Buyu he knows, Xu Taiping sympathizes with the little girl's experience.

"Buyu, do you know how long you have been imprisoned here?"

Xu Taiping squatted down and looked at the little girl in front of him with a gentle tone.

"Three months and nineteen days."

What surprised Xu Taiping was that the little girl actually remembered the time she was imprisoned accurately.

"How do you know so clearly?"

Xu Taiping asked curiously.

After hearing this, Lin Buyu hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.

Then Xu Taiping saw that there was a small bead emitting a colorful halo on the tip of Lin Buyu's tongue.

"This is the dragon bead my mother left for me. As long as I hold it in my mouth, it will heat up every other day, so that I don't feel hungry. I use this to remember the time."

Lin Buyu said and swallowed the dragon bead again.

"No wonder he could last so long without food or water."

Xu Taiping suddenly realized.

"But my mother said that after swallowing this dragon pearl, it will disappear in half a year. Now there is only one month left before half a year."

Lin Buyu's eyes were a little dim.

Although this little girl is very young, she is as smart and logical as the junior sister Buyu that Xu Taiping knows.

"Don't worry, little Buyu, I'll see if there is any way to help you."

Xu Taiping squatted down and comforted Lin Buyu with a smile.

He was too lazy to go into whether this was a dream or whether he really wandered in the void and saw Lin Buyu when he was a child.

In short, save people first if you can.

"Yeah!" Lin Buyu nodded happily when he heard it.

So Xu Taiping stood up, walked to the exit blocked by stones, and reached out to touch the stones.

Unlike the last time he wandered in the void, this time he could not only see and hear, but also touch.

It was as if some inexplicable power was enhanced.

This made him feel that he should be able to use his fists and feet here.

"Otherwise, let's try to see if we can blast open the stone blocking the door."

Thinking this way, Xu Taiping opened his fist, clenched his left fist, and punched hard at the stone in front of him.

"Bang!"

After one punch, the stone in front of him actually cracked.

Xu Taiping was immediately happy.

But before he could be happy for long, he felt dizzy, and his originally solid body became somewhat transparent at this time.

At the same time, he also felt that there was a strong pulling force that seemed to be pulling him back.

"Could it be that as long as I take action here, my state of being in a state of ecstasy and soul wandering will disappear immediately?"

Looking at Xiao Buyu who was looking at him expectantly, Xu Taiping's heart suddenly tightened.

"In my current state, it is very unrealistic to break open the door of this cave, but Xiao Buyu's dragon beads can only last for one month. After one month, he will definitely die of hunger..."

At this moment, Xu Taiping didn't care whether the little Buyu in front of him was Liufeng junior sister Lin Buyu. He just wanted to find a way to save this little girl.

"It would be nice if she were a monk."

"Even monks in the Open Door Realm can live for a long time by swallowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"However, although Xiao Buyu seems to have spiritual bones, there is no real energy fluctuation in his body. He must not have practiced yet."

After feeling that the force pulling him became stronger and stronger, Xu Taiping's thoughts raced in his mind, and he kept thinking about ways to save Xiao Buyu.

"Wait a minute, although Xiao Buyu is not a monk, I can teach him the exercises!"

Xu Taiping suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.
