In the desolate valley, a dry well lay quietly. It was dark and full of weeds.
Under the cover of weeds, there was a withered human skeleton.
However, at night, there was a bright moonlight that gathered in the dry well and shone on the dry bones, illuminating them slightly.
After an unknown period of time, on a certain night, moonlight gathered and the skeleton suddenly moved.
"Crack!" Crack! Crack!
The skeletal hand moved first, and then the other bones moved as well.
This scene was very unscientific. It was just a skeleton, but it slowly climbed up on its own. It subconsciously pulled away the weeds covering its body and allowed itself to be completely illuminated by the moonlight.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, two blue lights slowly gathered in the eye sockets of the skeleton's skull and flickered.
"Where is this place?"
The skeleton's upper and lower jaw opened and closed as if it was opening its mouth, but there was only the sound of bones rubbing against each other.
However, Skeleton had this thought.
The next moment, Skeleton lowered his head and looked at his body.
He clearly did not have eyeballs, but at this moment, he could clearly see his own body.
"I…became a set of bones?”
The eyes of the white-skeleton head flickered with a blue light. This thought was brewing in its mind.
At the same time, White Bones gradually recalled something.
" I am…Gu Bai, an Earthling from the 21st century, but I…seem to be dead…"
At this moment, Gu Bai, who had already turned into a skeleton, moved. His skeleton let out a creaking sound.
At the same time, Gu Bai was still a little puzzled. He was clearly dead, but now he had turned into a skeleton that could move.
"Did I become an undead? Or what?" Gu Bai's eyes flickered as he recalled his current state. He should have been dead, but now, he had turned into an inhuman state.
"How did I become like this?”Gu Bai recalled his 'violent death', but he couldn't figure out why it had turned out like this.
It was only when Gu Bai raised his head and felt the moonlight shining on his body that he realized something.
"Because of the essence of the sun and moon, I was resurrected in this state?”
Gu Bai thought about it carefully. It seemed that there was still some instinct in his body to absorb the mysterious essence energy in the moonlight.
"In this way, my current state is not the 'undead' in the Western language. It is obviously a 'monster' that is unique to Eastern mythology.”
Gu Bai stretched his body and realized that he felt completely different from a human being.
He didn't need to breathe, and he had even lost a lot of touch, but he also had a different feeling.
Now, Gu Bai could see even more clearly, and he could even hear voices. This was an extremely magical feeling.
Gu Bai could even feel that there was a kind of energy contained within his bones.
This energy was slowly converted when it came into contact with the moonlight.
"I am now…White Bone Demon?" Gu Bai quickly made this judgment about his current situation.
A set of white bones that absorbed the essence of the moon to obtain power. Wasn't this the legendary 'demon'?
However, Gu Bai's situation was a little special. He was a skeleton that had turned into a spirit. He couldn't be considered a monster or a demon.
After thinking about it, Gu Bai could only think of a famous demon in the myths and legends.
White Bone Demon.
"Have I become the male version of the White Bone Demon? Or rather, it was now gender-neutral.”
Gu Bai lowered his head and looked at his hip bone. It was empty and he felt nothing.
" This…" Gu Bai quickly accepted this reality.
In other words, Gu Bai, who had already turned into the White Bone Demon, was no longer conflicted about his gender.
The current Gu Bai was more concerned about his current environment and what he had encountered.
"In Journey to the West, the White Bone Demon,'Lady White Bone,' was a corpse that was transformed into a 'Corpse Demon' after receiving the essence of the sun and moon.”
If Gu Bai wasn't a skeleton at this moment, and if there was still flesh on his skull, he would definitely be frowning.
"But that 'White Bone Lady' is a character from the Journey to the West…I'm from the 21st century.”
"Myths are just myths. I have never heard of the existence of demons in the real world, but now I have become like this.”
"Could it be that there have always been demons on Earth, but I didn't know about them?”
Gu Bai had such a thought. He lifted his skull and looked at his surroundings. It was a dry well.
This well had been abandoned for many years, and the bottom of the well was already overgrown with weeds.
He quickly sized up the bottom of the well, but he could not see anything at all.
Gu Bai could not think of anything else even though he was thinking hard, so he decided to go outside the well to take a look.
On both sides of the ancient well, weeds overgrew. Moreover, it was already very old and there were many cracks.
When Gu Bai moved, he found that his fingers and feet were very flexible and powerful.
Grabbing the walls of the well, Gu Bai dragged his skeleton body out of the well.
Gu Bai climbed out of the dry well and stood beside it. He raised his skull and looked up at the huge moon, observing everything around him.
The moon hung high in the sky. Gu Bai seemed to be on a platform in a small valley.
Beside the dry well, there were two thatched cottages.
"What kind of remote mountain is this? How could there be such an ancient thatched cottage?”
Gu Bai took a step forward, his hip bone making a cracking sound.
In just a few steps, Gu Bai had already moved from the side of the dry well to the side of the thatched cottage.
This thatched hut had obviously been abandoned for a long time. The door was only a simple wooden railing, and it was obviously dilapidated at this time. There was no defense.
Creak…
Gu Bai pushed the straw hut open with his bony hand. Then, he saw a layer of dust in the house.
However, what caught Gu Bai's attention was a table and a bed in the room.
There seemed to be some leather scrolls on the table.
On the wooden bed in the room, there was a skeleton wearing a kasaya.
This skeleton was obviously different from Gu Bai. It was a real skeleton, a dead object.
Gu Bai's hip bone made a cracking sound. He took two or three steps forward and brushed away the dust with his white bone arm.
"What is this place? Why are there monks wearing kasayas? Moreover, they had died here for countless years and had completely turned into a pile of bones.”
Gu Bai thought as he picked up the scroll from the table.
"This penniless monk came from the East Victory Divine Prefecture and headed to the Spirit Mountain of the West Ox Continent. I passed by here…"
