Chapter 396 It’s hard to guard against it!
Gee!

Gu Shiyi crossed his arms and shook his head.

"You are so stubborn. Since we are fellow disciples, what's the point of giving it to him? He has been locked up here for so long, neither human nor ghost. Why bother?"

The Skeleton Man laughed bitterly and said,

"I already regretted it. In the last year, I thought if he was willing to come see me, I would tell him everything, but... he never came again!"

"Which sect are you from?"

Skeleton Humanity,

"From the Divine Imperial Clan..."

"Shen Yu Zong?"

Gu Shiyi thought about it and felt that he had never heard of this sect. He thought that it might have declined or even ceased to exist. He asked again,

"You gave the demon-catching bag to that kid?"

The Skeleton Man replied,
"Fifty years ago, I was already on my last legs, but I was unwilling to accept that. I didn't want to die like this. I didn't want to be locked up for hundreds of years and die in obscurity... I tried every method to break the restrictions here, but I could only break the entrance. I still couldn't take a single step out of the cave..."

The skeleton looked up at the cave ceiling.

"I tried to attract some nearby villagers here, but they were afraid of me and didn't dare to come close. Only that kid..."

"Humph……"

Gu Shiyi sneered,
"Of course the villagers are afraid of you. I guess you ate people in the beginning, right? The villagers know there is a man-eating demon here, so they dare not approach this place. Only the kid outside is bold and cruel. He probably came here unintentionally. You gave him the demon bag, hoping to coax him into catching some demon beasts for you so that you can use the flesh and blood of the demon beasts to preserve your soul, right?"

Gu Shiyi guessed that it was most likely a way to prolong one's life. It should be to use human essence and blood to nourish one's body and soul. In fact, the essence and blood of monsters or even animals can also be used. However, since humans and monsters are of different races, the effect will be greatly reduced. That's why this person has become like this, neither human nor ghost, a walking corpse!

Having asked this question, Gu Shiyi naturally didn't want to waste time talking to this person anymore, so he sneered.
"I don't know why you were imprisoned here, but now it seems that it is not unfair for you to be imprisoned here..."

After saying this, he bowed his hands.

"Fellow Daoist, I am sorry to bother you. I will take my leave now. Please stay here!"

After saying this, he was about to leave, thinking to himself,
"This is a harmful creature. If we keep it here, the people nearby will suffer. I'll go out and discuss with Yan'er to see if we can seal this place off completely and let it die here!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, the skeleton sitting beside the bed stood up suddenly.

"Don't go! Don't go! Please save me. As long as you save me, I... I am willing to give you all the classics in the sect..."

Then he pointed to the bamboo slips piled up in the corner.

"This is where I have memorized all the classics of the Divine Imperial Sect over the years. I originally wanted to wait for my junior brother to come and give them to him. Now that he can't come, I will give them all to you...as long as you take me out!"

Gu Shiyi narrowed his eyes and looked at the bamboo slips piled in the corner, thought for a moment and asked,

"What does your Shen Yu Sect do?"

The skeleton saw her asking and thought she was moved, so he was overjoyed and said,

"We specialize in taming monsters. In the ancient times, we were the beast slaves of the immortal sect!"

"Beastmaster!"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows, no wonder there was a demon-catching bag, and asked,

"The demon-catching bag was passed down from your sect?"

"Exactly!"

Hmm! It's quite interesting!
But Gu Shiyi really doesn't want such a person to be alive in this world. She doesn't even like the guy kneeling outside!
The skeleton man saw that Gu Shiyi had an indifferent expression, as if he was no longer interested in his beast taming technique, so he hurriedly said,
"Our Shen Yu Sect is a true ancient heritage. Otherwise... my junior brother wouldn't have fought with me for hundreds of years for the sect's secret manual..."

Then he pointed to the corner and said,

"My bamboo slips contain the art of controlling the true spirits. In the ancient times, the immortal sects used true spirits to protect their sects. There were true dragons, blue phoenixes, fire phoenixes, white tigers, red birds, black tortoises, and unicorns..."

so smart!

Gu Shiyi raised her eyebrows. She was really tempted, especially the method of controlling the dragon. She was really interested. After thinking about it, she suddenly sneered.
"You've said so much, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you and then go get the bamboo slips?"

The skeleton man laughed bitterly.
"I am in my current state. If you kill me, you will be helping me. Otherwise... please kill me. If you kill me, everything in this cave will be yours!"

Gu Shiyi looked at the bamboo slips in the corner. He didn't move his feet, but squinted at the skeleton.

"That's the case. I'll just take the trouble to help you come here!"

The skeleton man laughed bitterly again when he heard this.
"Fellow Daoist, if you want to kill me, just do it. Why do you have to humiliate me? I don't have any grudge against you, do I?"

Gu Shiyi snorted, looked up at the top of the cave, then looked at the bottom of his feet, and suddenly smiled and said,
"You have been alone in this cave all this time?" The skeleton man sat on the bed with his head down and replied.

"Exactly..."

"No one has ever come in here?"

The skeleton shook his head and pointed at the boy who was still kneeling at the entrance of the cave.
"Over the years, only this child is brave enough to enter this cave..."

When the boy kneeling at the door heard that he was being talked about, he quickly crawled a few steps on his knees and came to the cave entrance.

"Fairy..."

The Skeleton Man sighed,
"I'm not an immortal, I just know some magic. I gave you the monster-catching bag because I wanted you to capture nearby animals so that I could suck their blood. It's been hard for you over the past few years..."

The boy replied,
"Thanks to the immortal who gave me that cloth bag, I can now support my family..."

In a small town like this in the mountains, people can only make a living from the mountains. The life of the mountain folks is very hard. There are very few people who can catch fish every day like this kid. This family relies on this kid to support his lazy parents and give birth to a younger brother!
Gu Shiyi narrowed his eyes and looked at the skeleton man without saying anything. Instead, the skeleton man raised his eyes and looked at Gu Shiyi.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to kill me?"

Seeing that Gu Shiyi remained silent, he continued,
"If you can take me out, I will be very grateful. If you can kill me, I will be very happy. If you do nothing..."

He paused, his tone showing total despair.

"I have finally figured it out. What does it matter if I go out? What does it matter if I don't go out? I already look like a half-human, half-ghost. I might as well end my life here..."

After saying that, he pointed at the boy standing in front of the cave entrance and said,

"Please take this child away, and don't make things difficult for him. Although his behavior is a bit bad, he is still trying to support his family. It was me who led him astray, so please take him away..."

After a pause he said,

"After you leave, please help me seal this cave. Without blood and essence to sustain my life, I will die within a month..."

Gu Shiyi narrowed his eyes and looked at the skeleton man, thinking to himself,

"This man has been lingering on for so many years, struggling on the brink of life and death several times, but he never wanted to die. How come I came over and talked to him for a few words and he wanted to die!"

This is not right!
but……

Gu Shiyi couldn't think of anything wrong at the moment, so he thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll do as you wish..."

After saying that, he turned around and reached out to grab the boy at the entrance of the cave by the back of his neck.
"Let's go!"

This kid is bad, but his crime does not deserve the death penalty. When I go back, I will take his monster-catching bag and let his family fend for themselves!
When the skeleton saw that Gu Shiyi was really leaving as soon as he said, a ghost light flashed in his eyes. The boy kneeling at the entrance of the cave also had a faint light flash in his eyes. Then he suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Gu Shiyi's right thigh, shouting,
"Sir, please save the immortal!"

Gu Shiyi looked down and was very displeased with this young boy who was so bad to the core. She immediately shouted coldly,

"let go!"

But the boy refused and clung to Gu Shiyi's thighs tightly.
"Sir, if you don't save me, I won't let go!"

After saying that, he also entangled the two legs. Gu Shiyi was furious. He was reaching out to grab the boy and lift him up when suddenly a black shadow flashed in the woods outside the cave. Something rushed straight towards Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi was startled and subconsciously took a step back, but forgot that there was a half-grown boy hanging on his legs. He staggered and took two more steps back. The whole person and the boy retreated into the cave. As soon as the two entered the cave, there was a burst of white light on the top of the cave.
"Om..."

The white light shot onto the ground, and immediately the ground also emitted white light, echoing the white light above the head.

"not good!"

Gu Shiyi cursed inwardly,

"It's really fucking hard to guard against. I was so careful, but I still fell into the trap!"

She raised her foot and wanted to rush out of the cave before the formation was fully activated, but she found that the boy was still hanging on her thigh. This time she showed no mercy. She grabbed the boy's neck and lifted him up. At the same time, she threw him to the side and rushed to the cave entrance. However, she was still a step too slow. The white light at the cave entrance had closed.

"boom……"

Gu Shiyi crashed into the white light fiercely. With her strong body, she retreated several steps. Her entire right shoulder and right hand felt numb.
"What kind of formation is this?"

At this moment, the skeleton man who was originally sitting on the bed was already laughing wildly with excitement.
“Hehehe…after so many years…after so many years…I can finally leave…hehehe…I can finally leave!”

After saying that, he danced with joy and ran towards the cave entrance. Gu Shiyi watched the skeleton man pass through the white light at the cave entrance and ran out of the cave safely.

"Hehehe..."

There was another round of crazy laughter. The skeleton stood at the entrance of the cave, with his hands raised high and his face facing the sky. His whole body was shaking violently.
"It's been so many years! It's been so many years! It's finally out! It's finally out!"

At this point, Gu Shiyi still had something unclear. There must be something strange about the formation in this cave that could only hold one person. As long as a new person entered, the person inside would be replaced!
