Chapter 37: Fire God (Middle and Lower)
Beware of your two uncles.
Wen Baiyu was dreaming of this sentence in the middle of the night and didn't understand what Wan Jiahao meant, so she woke up with a fright.
Wen Baiyu stared at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep anymore.
Wen Baiyu followed two uncles from a young age, growing up in Jinhua. When they were very young, their family was not wealthy and did not have such a villa. The two uncles also had a hard time finding work.
However, both uncles were very good to him. The younger uncle was naturally kind and generous, and would always grant his requests. When he was young and didn't know any better, he would pester the younger uncle to buy all sorts of fun things for him, and the younger uncle would even save up his own lunch money to buy them for him.
Although Uncle was strict with him, he actually doted on him. If anyone bullied him, Uncle would definitely get into a fierce fight, and then both Wen Baiyu and Uncle would have to sit in a row to receive Young Master's lecture.
Wen Baiyu let out a sigh, he absolutely didn't believe that his two uncles would do anything to harm him, but Wen Baiyu wasn't an idiot either, and earlier those words, he faintly felt something was off.
The next morning, Wen Baiyu got up early. He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, so he might as well get up.
Wen Baiyu walked out with a panda eye, and as soon as he went out the door, he saw his uncle Wen Kai. When Wen Kai saw him, his eyes were somewhat unnatural.
Wen Ke held a plate in his hand, on which was breakfast, and said to Wen Baiyu: "Get up, let's have breakfast on the stove in the kitchen."
Wen Baiyu nodded, his cooking skills were still learned from Wen Cui. Wen Cui's cooking was extremely delicious, although there were servants in the household, Fourth Master liked Wen Cui's cooking. Whenever Wen Cui wasn't busy with work, he would personally go to the kitchen, even breakfast was very sumptuous.
Wen Baiyu secretly turned her head to look at Wen Sui, who had finished breakfast and entered the room. When the door opened, Wen Baiyu saw her little uncle lying on Wen Sui's bed, with his back facing her, so she couldn't see his expression.
Wen Baiyu didn't dare look again and went into the kitchen.
Wen Kai walked into the bedroom, closed the door, put the breakfast on the bedside table and said: "Xiao Jiu, are you awake?"
Wen Jiu Mu closed his eyes, his face deathly pale, his lips tightly pursed, refusing to look at him.
"Wen Kai sighed and said: 'Sorry, but I have no choice.'"
Wen Jiu Mu suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Wen Xuan, saying: "Then what's your trouble, tell me!"
Wen Ke looked at him, sighed and finally turned his head out of the room. Wen Jiu Mu heard the "click" sound of the door closing, and slumped down on the bed.
Just as Wen Jiu Mu sneered, the door suddenly made a "click" sound again, which was the sound of locking!
Wen Jiu Mu jumped out of bed, rushed over to twist the door handle, which had already been locked and couldn't be opened. She knocked on the door with all her might, shouting: "Wen Kuai, what are you doing? Open the door!"
Wen Kai stood outside the door, silent.
Wen Baiyu heard the quarrelsome voices and the sound of knocking on the door, peeked out to take a look, but Wen Kai walked into the kitchen with a dark face, saying: "After finishing breakfast, I'll take you out for a walk. You haven't been to Jinhua for a long time either."
Wen Baiyu nodded subconsciously, thinking that Uncle was really too strange. Even if he hadn't been to Jinhua for a long time, there was no need for Uncle to take him around everywhere. Besides, there was also Wan Kuangjinghou.
Wen Kai finished speaking and left, Wan Qi Jing Hou came in quickly.
Wen Baiyu pouted and said, "Sigh, it seems we've come at the wrong time. Uncle and Little Uncle seem to be quarreling, and they're doing it so fiercely."
Wan Qi Jing Hou didn't say a word, and Wen Bai Yu said again: "Hurry up and have breakfast. After we finish eating, my uncle will take us out for a walk."
Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded.
Just then, a "meow" sound was heard, and Wen Baiyu lowered his head to see that Jiuming had already walked over with cat-like steps, looking up at the breakfast he was serving to Wan Qi Jinghou.
Wen Baiyu: "...... You ate enough yesterday."
Jiumeng said: "That was also eaten yesterday. Yesterday you and Wanjun Jinghou were close, today not close?"
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wan Xi Jing Hou gave a glance that could teach a child to the Ninth Life, then threw a large shrimp dumpling at him. The Ninth Life jumped up and bit it, then walked away with a wagging tail...
Wen Baiyu: "......"
After having breakfast, they set off and when they arrived at the garage, they saw Wen Lei putting a black luggage bag into the trunk.
Wen Baiyu was taken aback and said: "Uncle, what are you carrying?"
Wen Kei murmured vaguely and glossed over it. Wen Baiyu looked around, mustered up her courage and said: "Isn't Young Master coming?"
Wen Kai said: "Your little uncle is not resting today, I'll take you out for a walk."
Wen Baiyu nodded slightly, thinking to herself that Uncle was really bad at lying...
They got in the car, and Wen Lei drove for a very long time. It was so long that Wen Baiyu started to feel drowsy in the car, but since Wan Jingshou was beside him, he felt at ease and soon fell asleep.
As soon as the car stopped, Wen Baiyu immediately woke up and looked around to find that they were in the suburbs, surrounded by wild grass and trees, a place he didn't recognize at all.
"Are you awake?"
Wen Baiyu nodded slightly, and Wan Jingshou smiled and said: "It seems you didn't sleep well last night."
Wen Baiyu glared at him, thinking that it was all because of his troublemaking. He spoke halfway and didn't make himself clear.
At this moment, Wen Lei had already opened the car door and said, "Get off, just a little further ahead."
Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou got out of the car, Wen Cuo took out their luggage from the trunk, and the two followed Wen Cuo inside.
Wen Baiyu couldn't help it anymore, and secretly pulled at Wang Jixing's sleeve, sticking close to him and whispering: "Where are we going anyway?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "I have never been to Jinhua and I don't know it."
Wen Baiyu was somewhat surprised, for he had never thought that there were still places that Wan Jingshou didn't know. He had always thought that Wan Jingshou was all-powerful.
They hadn't walked for long when they saw someone in front of them. It was a tall and thin old man, who turned out to be Ma Ye from before.
Ma Ye saw them coming and smiled: "Hui Ye is indeed a straightforward person."
Wen Ke's face didn't look good, and he said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Ma smiled and said: "Peng, don't be so cold, we are going to cooperate."
Wen Baiyu looked at the old horse with some curiosity, next to him on the ground was a big hole, and beside the big hole were several small caves. Wen Baiyu had seen it before, it was definitely a thief's den.
Old Master Ma saw him looking at himself and smiled: "Big nephew, I'm an old friend of your uncles, we were even partners back in the day, just call me Uncle Ma."
Wen Baiyu gave a dry laugh and said, "Master Ma."
Ma Ye didn't get angry either, and seeing Wan Kuang Jing Hou beside him, he said: "Who is this kid? Why does he look a bit familiar?"
Wen Kai said: "A friend of Bai Yu."
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled lightly and said: "Really? I think Master Ma is quite unfamiliar."
"Alright, no more nonsense, let's get to work and finish early."
He said, took out a very long rope and threw it to Wen Kai. Wen Kai tied it around his waist and led the way into the cave.
Wen Baiyu hesitated for a moment, then felt the back of his head being tapped by someone. He turned around to see that Ma Ye was pointing a gun at him.
The horseman smiled slyly and said: "Big nephew, blame your bad luck, go down the cave."
Wen Baiyu stared as Wen Lei crawled into the hole, still a bit stunned. Could it be that his two uncles were actually tomb raiders? Now that he thought about it, there were indeed many antiques at home, but every time he asked, his two uncles brushed him off, saying they were fake goods they had picked up...
Wen Baiyu was pushed hard by Ma Ye and stumbled, almost falling over, but was caught by Wan Kuangying.
Wen Baiyu turned back and glared at Ma Ye, who said: "Hey, your gaze is fierce! Don't dawdle, hurry up and go down."
Wen Kai had already entered the cave but came back and said in a low voice: "Master Ma is pulling the rope upstairs, it's best not to make trouble."
Ma Ye smiled and said: "Pang Ye said that I wouldn't dare make trouble in front of you, I don't mind living a long life, it's just that I'm short on money."
Wen Ke re-entered the cave, and Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou were also pushed in without being tied up.
The cave was extremely steep, and Wen Baiyu slid down with a fluttering sound, staring at the back of Wen Kai. Just as he wanted to speak, he suddenly heard a mournful cry.
"Ahhh!!!!!!"
Wen Baiyu let out a startled yelp, and even Wen Lei turned his head around. Immediately after, they heard the sound of "gudong, gu, gudong" - it seemed like something was rolling down from the entrance of the cave.
Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou walked at the back, Wen Baiyu only felt a black shadow coming down along the slope, "Bang" hitting his leg, still quite heavy.
Wen Baiyu's pant leg was immediately wet, he looked down and suddenly let out a loud "ah!" and took two steps back. However, as he retreated, the thing didn't roll down the slope with the dirt, it seemed to be stuck to his leg.
Wen Bai's legs went soft, and he almost fell to the ground. Wan Qi Jing Hou hugged his waist and flashed to the side, and the black shadow rolled past, rolling to Wen Kai's feet.
It was actually a headless corpse!
The head was cut off entirely, with blood spraying from the neck area. The ground quickly became wet and stained. The body remained intact, still wearing clothes that were recognizable as belonging to Ma Ye from the pit above.
Old Horse's hand was still clutching the rope.
Wen Kai was also startled and his face turned solemn as he said, "Quickly go up!"
He had barely finished speaking when Wan Jie Jing Hou coldly said: "It's too late."
The bright light at the entrance was soon filled with a few "brushing" sounds, as if someone was filling sand and soil from above. Wen Baiyu smelled a strong smell of earth and blood, which made him cough. Next to him was a headless corpse, which scared him so much that he tightly grasped Wang Ju's hand.
Wen Kai untied the rope and ran a few steps back, but the road was blocked.
Wen Kai immediately took off his backpack and pulled out a shovel from inside. He started digging the soil, seemingly wanting to dig another tunnel to escape.
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at his movements, sneered and said: "There are people waiting for us upstairs, obviously they have come prepared. You dig a hole to get out, aren't you afraid of dying too slowly?"
Wen Kai was taken aback for a moment, no one dared to speak to him like that before. He immediately looked up and said in a cold voice: "What do you know."
Wan Kuang didn't bother with him anymore, grabbed Wen Baiyu's hand and said: "Let's go."
Wen Baiyu was pulled by him to walk inside and said: "Where are we going, it's too dark here, and...and we still have to go further in?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "The top cannot be walked on, go inside and find a weak spot to make a hole to escape."
Wen Baiyu thought it made sense and quickly nodded, then turned around and said: "Uncle, let's go."
Wen Kai had no choice but to carry his own luggage and follow them from behind, taking out a flashlight to light the way.
Wen Baiyu took a glance at the flashlight, which he had also brought with him when it was raining heavily before. He told him that this was what he had spent a lot of money on, and people on the road said that everyone brings one of these during heavy rain.
Wen Baiyu can now be certain that his great-uncle was indeed in this line of work.
But Wen Baiyu really couldn't understand why he had to bring himself down, was it because Wan Kuang Jing Hou's lower abdomen was very powerful?
Wen Baiyu followed Wan Jingshou, the two of them walking hand in hand all along. Wen Cang watched their interaction from behind, his face darkening slightly.
Wen Baiyu said: "There are patterns starting to appear here."
Wan Qi Jing Hou looked at the tomb passage connected to the stone wall and said faintly: "The Fire God Diagram, it should be in the late Warring States period tomb."
Wen Baiyu was already accustomed to it, but Wen Shi was surprised and couldn't help but take a closer look at Wan Jingshou several times.
Three people entered through a hole in the stone wall, the passage was very neat, with murals carved on both sides, and it was dark inside.
Wen Ke took out a flashlight and shone it, Wen Baiyu turned his head to take a look, and was startled, saying: "Ah... this person has no brain, and his eyes and mouth are on his belly."
Wan Qi Jinghou explained to him, "The murals on both sides are the Ten Great Demon Gods of ancient times. This is Xing Tian. Legend has it that in ancient times, Chi You and Xing Tian had a great battle. Emperor Chi You cut off Xing Tian's head and buried him at Changyang Mountain. Later, Xing Tian used his nipples as eyes and his belly as mouth. The image on the mural matches perfectly, and Xing Tian is good at using a large axe and shield."
They were talking when Wen Baiyu suddenly exclaimed, "Hey! That mural is glowing!"
Wen Baiyu walked over and saw that the mural depicted a man wearing a cloak, his body and eyes radiating a fluorescent color that shone brightly in the dark tomb passage.
"Wen Kai suddenly said: 'Don't touch it, fluorescent is toxic.'"
Wen Baiyu stepped back half a step. Wan Xi Jing Hou said, "This is Dunshen Silver Spirit Child, skilled in bewildering and confusing illusions. Don't look into his eyes."
Wen Baiyu said: "Silver Spirit? Sounds pretty good, what is it?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "It's just a firefly that has become a demon."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou cherished these mythological legends like a treasure trove, which made Wen Lei even more astonished and secretly vigilant.
They walked in, passing by a fork in the road, when Wen Kai suddenly spoke up and said: "Let's go this way."
Wen Baiyu particularly wanted to ask him how he knew to go that way, but she didn't open her mouth. The three of them walked into the fork in the road on the left.
They soon arrived at a closed stone chamber. One side of the stone chamber was a large gate, and the other three sides were empty except for one side which had a huge mural carved on it.
On the mural is a man with a closed purpose, the man's body is tall and strong, with three heads and six arms, holding firebows, fireswords, fire spears, fire seals, fire wheels, and fire gourds. His face is very fierce, with fangs, and each head has a flame emblem on it. Each hand also has a flame emblem on the back of the hand.
Wan Qi Jing Hou looked at the bold strokes with narrowed eyes.
Wen Baiyu said: "Is this Nezha?"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou was teased into a light laugh, and Wen Yue already spoke up first, saying: "This is the Fire God Zhu Rong."
Wen Baiyu said: "Zhu Rong is so fierce?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "This is not a fire god, this is a fire demon."
Wen Ke wrinkled his brow and Wen Baiyu said: "What's the difference between these two?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "The Fire God Zhu Rong is one of the most revered gods in folklore, legend has it that he ordered the Phoenix to spread fire seeds among humans, and people began to use fire, social civilization gradually developed. Huo Mo is an evil god, legend has it that Huo Mo stole fire seeds from the heavenly fire warehouse, was burned on his palms and forehead because of theft, this mural character's forehead and back of hands have flame marks, should be a kind of beautification, actually scalded. Huo Mo came to the world, sprinkled the stolen fire seeds, turned into forest fires, fever and nightmares."
Wen Baiyu said: "That Fire Demon is so evil, yet someone still carved him on a tomb?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "A small number of people in some areas also worship Huo Mo, thinking that Huo Mo is the orthodox fire god. This kind of worship is often extremely biased and even uses * as a sacrificial ritual. There are also people who cannot distinguish between the fire god and Huo Mo, treating Huo Mo as a god to be worshipped, and Huo Mo will confuse these people."
Wen Baiyu cursed and said: "Isn't this an evil cult organization?!"
Wen Kei then took a closer look at Wan Qi Jing Hou, and just now Master Ma said that Wan Qi Jing Hou looked somewhat familiar. Now that he took a closer look, it seemed like there was some resemblance too.
Wen Baiyu suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the flame pattern on the mural: "This! This flame pattern! Isn't this what we saw before? It was in the underwater tomb and it's also recorded on the golden silk. That national teacher had this pattern too."
Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded and said: "I'm starting to get a little interested in this tomb."
Wen Ke listened to Wen Baiyu say "Underwater Tomb", obviously Wen Baiyu had also been in a fight, and was following this young man, couldn't help but narrow his eyes, saying: "What kind of person are you?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at him and said coldly: "No one will harm Wen Bai Yu."
Wen Kai was stunned by what he said, his face looked unnatural, turned his head away and didn't speak again.
Wen Baiyu said: "This stone room must have a mechanism, otherwise there would be no way out."
Wan Xi Jinghou said: "Want to find a job is not easy."
Wen Baiyu said: "Have you found it?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said, "The followers of the Fire Demon are often biased. If you don't kneel three times and knock nine times, they won't be found."
He said, and suddenly stepped on the stone floor below the mural with force. With a "crack" sound, the floor was crushed by his foot, and it turned out that there was a hollow layer inside, and in the hollow layer, there was a small statue of a fire demon.
Wan Qi Jing Hou squatted down and twisted the statue.
Suddenly, with a "creaking... creaking..." sound, the mural rose from the bottom up, revealing a hidden secret door.
The dark gate opened, revealing a long tomb passage.
Wen Ke looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou with some surprise.
"Let's go and see if it's a ghost or a demon inside."
Wen Baiyu immediately followed up, without even questioning, and grasped the hand of Wan Qi Jinghou, stuttering: "Why is it so hot in this tomb?"
Wen Kai also followed up, and everyone didn't walk far before hearing a faint rustling sound.
Wen Kai looked back and saw no one, not even a shadow.
Not far away is another fork in the road, Wen Baiyu said: "Which way should we go?"
He had just finished speaking when he heard Wan Gui Jing Hou suddenly shout in a low voice, "Who is it?"
Followed by the sound of "rustling, rustling".
Wen Baiyu was startled by Wan Kuangjing Hou's low shout and faint voice, and saw a figure emerging from the dark tomb path behind him. As the figure approached, Wen Baiyu's eyes widened suddenly.
"Little uncle?!"
Wen Kai was also shocked and took two steps forward, saying: "Xiao Jiu, how is it you?"
Wen Jiumu didn't even wait for him to get close, and immediately raised his hand, holding a gun. Wen Jiumu's face was expressionless, using the muzzle to press against Wen Kuai's forehead, pushing him back two steps, saying: "Don't move."
Wen Kai was even more surprised and said: "Xiao Jiu... you, you're not..."
Wen Jiu Mu sneered and said, "Peng Ye also underestimated me too much. Is it because you've been idle for too long that you forgot what I was best at? Do you think your door lock can stump me?"
Wen Kai seemed to have realized something and said: "Yes, I had forgotten."
Wen Jiu Mu didn't speak with him again, only warily watching him as he slowly backed away and walked towards Wen Bai Yu's side.
"Wen Baiyu said: 'Young uncle, what are you doing?'"
Wen Jiu Mu grasped Wen Bai Yu's hand with one hand and held a gun aimed at Wen Kai with the other, saying to Wen Bai Yu: "Come with me."
Wen Jiu Mu slowly backed away, about to retreat into the fork in the road on the right.
Wen Kai stepped forward half a step and said, "That road can't be taken!"
"Boom!"
A loud bang, Wen Jiumu suddenly fired a shot. Wen Pei only felt his shoulder burning, the bullet grazed his shoulder and passed by, instantly seeing blood. Wen Pei's cold sweat flowed down, his body shook, and he leaned against the wall of the tomb path.
Wen Baiyu was startled and didn't expect Wen Jiumu to fire a shot. He said, "Young uncle, there's...there's no need to shoot, let's talk things over."
Wen Jiu Mu sneered and said: "Master Piao, don't go any further, otherwise it won't just be a scratch."
He said, pulling Wen Baiyu along, "Hurry up!"
Wen Baiyu was pulled by him and walked towards the depths of the fork in the road. Wan Qi Jinghou didn't say a word, following behind them.
Wen Kai covered his shoulder with his hand, his face sweating profusely. Seeing the three people walking deep into the fork in the road, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and immediately followed them. However, the fork was very dark, and the three people suddenly disappeared.
Wen Jiu and Wen Baiyu ran for a long time, until they were panting, then turned right at the fork in the road, entered a stone room, and only stopped when Wen Baiyu couldn't run anymore.
Wen Baiyu's whole body was covered in sweat, kneeling in the stone room panting, waving his hand and saying: "I... I can't run anymore, my mom..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou stood beside him, patting his back, and Wen Bai Yu didn't calm down until after a long while.
Wen Jiu Mu looked at Wan Kuang Jing Hou's movements and suddenly spoke up, "I should have figured it out earlier. Although I haven't seen you before, people in the Taoist community have seen your photos. They say you're a great Buddha, whoever runs into you will be unlucky because no one is more formidable than you. And you're surnamed Wan Kuang, but I just didn't think of that possibility."
Wen Baiyu didn't understand what he said, and Wen Jiumu said: "Take a break, after we rest, we'll continue on our way. I know the road, let's hurry up and get out of this place."
"Wen Baiyu couldn't help but ask, 'Young uncle, do you know the way? What's going on here? I heard you arguing with my father yesterday, and why did he suddenly take me to the underground chamber? And...Wan Kuang said that all the antiques at home are real, so why have you been keeping it from me?'"
Wen Jiu Mu's eyes darted around, and he lowered his head, his Adam's apple moving up and down. After a long time, he finally said: "It's been so many years... I thought I could spend the rest of my life in peace..."
Wen Jiu Mu said up to here, then stopped again, after a long, long time, he said: "My surname is not Wen, and I am not brothers with Wen Cui..."
Wen Jiumu didn't have the surname Wen, he didn't know what his own surname was, he had never seen his parents, he was a rural person, in a year of famine, Wen Jiumu mixed into the city from the countryside, to fill his belly he started doing odd jobs, he had eaten all kinds of bitterness.
Later, a rich man from Jinhua took a liking to Wen Jiumu and said he wanted to take him on as an apprentice. Wen Jiumu didn't even know what the rich man did, but the rich man just said that his hands were very good, extremely good, a pair of very skilled hands, and if he didn't become his master, it would be a waste.
Wen Jiu Mu was really hungry, so he followed the rich man and later met the rich man's son, Wen Kai.
A wealthy gentleman invited a teacher to teach Wen Jiuxi to write and read books, adopted him as his son, and gave him the name Jiuxi.
Nine Graves I don't know what this name means, who would use the word "grave" in a name, it looks too ominous.
Later on, Jiuzhai learned very quickly, reading and writing, even some difficult seal scripts and oracle bones could be recognized. His adoptive father praised him repeatedly for being clever beyond ordinary people, a good seedling.
Later on, his adoptive father finally began to teach him "proper" things, first some physical exercises, then lock-picking, antique identification, and so on. By the time they left the ninth tomb, they had made their first move.
Young Jiufeng was afraid of these things, he himself was not brave and didn't want to fight, just hoping to make a living, but he had no choice. His adoptive father said, "These hands were born to solve mechanisms, if you don't use them, it's better to cut them off."
Jiū Mù was very afraid, Yì Fù seemed to have changed, no longer warm and friendly. Every time he brought him down to fight, Jiū Mù was just a shield, only used when needed to break through mechanisms. When it came time to divide the spoils, Jiū Mù would sit aside, watching those greedy people boast and brag.
Jiǔ Mù wanted to escape, but was caught and beaten half to death. He would never forget that day when his adoptive father went mad and brutally beat him, even taking a knife to cut off his hand.
Wen Jiu Mu said, his hands clenched into fists and then relaxed, revealing a very long scar on his wrist that looked quite deep.
Jiū Mù was in so much pain he thought he was going to die, he felt like his hand was falling off, and even heard the sound of the knife cutting through bone. Just at this moment, Wēn Xī suddenly rushed in, also frantic, and shielded Jiū Mù behind him.
The foster father seems to have disowned him and is even cutting down Wen Yu with a knife.
"Wen Jiu's voice trembled as he said: 'Later... Wen Lei killed him...'"
Wen Baiyu was slightly surprised.
Wen Jiu Mu smiled and said: "Wen Xuan is the most ruthless person I have ever seen."
At that time, Wen Lei was also young, only three years older than Wen Jiu Mu, but he was not afraid, his eyes were full of resentment.
The corpse of his adoptive father lay on the ground, and a large black beetle with a shell suddenly crawled out from the knife wound.
It wasn't until later that they found out that when the fight was going on, this big worm had already crawled into his foster father's body. This worm can control people and once it crawls in, it won't come out. It can be said that there is no cure, and death is certain.
They fled overnight, and Jiuzhong himself wanted to comfort Wen Cui, but Wen Cui's eyes were very cold. Wen Cui said that the rich had many concubines and many sons, just like teaching Jiuzhong, similarly teaching his sons, all of his sons died in the arena, only Wen Cui was left, and Wen Cui's body was covered with scars big and small.
Jiuzang still remembers Wen Lei's eyes at that time, cold and piercing to the bone. He said his mother was also strangled to death by a wealthy family, and he did not regret killing that madman.
Two people escaped, but apart from playing cards, they knew nothing. Ma Ye had played cards with the rich master before and knew that the rich master was dead, so he invited them to play cards together and divide the money equally.
Jiumu was very afraid of these, but Wen Yue agreed. Wen Yue said that he wanted to live on, and when he had saved enough money, he would wash his hands and not do it again. He promised Ma Ye, but with one condition: Jiumu would not go down the pit, only standing at the edge responsible for pulling the rope.
Every time they went down to the pit, Wen Kai would tell Jiu Mu that if there was anything in the pit, don't bother with him, just leave on his own.
At that time, Jiū Mù was thinking that perhaps he had a liking for this person, although they were both men, and Wēn Xīng was an iron-hearted man, the most ruthless person he had ever seen.
They gradually became wealthy, saved a lot of money, and Wen Xue smiled at Jiuzhong and said that he had found a house in Jinhua, and after finishing this tomb, he would settle down in Jinhua and never work again.
Jiǔ Mù also felt very happy, it was his first time seeing Wēn Cuì smile.
Wen Jiuxi recalled: "Twenty-six years ago, our last battle was right here at this tomb."
Wen Baiyu was shocked and said: "This tomb?"
Wen Jiu Mu said: "Someone on the road said that they had discovered a Fire God's tomb, which was from the Warring States period. All of us who are familiar with antiques know that not only is it an ancient relic, but also that there must be divine artifacts inside the tomb, all of which are priceless treasures. We made an appointment with several cooperative friends and planned to explore this tomb together."
At the same time, they heard that there were still some people who also wanted to get down from the fight, and they were almost fighting for every second.
The exploration went smoothly. Wen Xuan was familiar with the smell and sound of the mud, and Jiu Mu was good at breaking mechanisms. This time, Wen Jiu Mu decided to go down to the tomb together with Wen Xuan.
At that time, Wen Sui was very angry and did not allow him to go down. Jiuzhai also got angry, feeling that Wen Sui looked down on him too much. However, Wen Sui said that if he dared to go down, from then on they would each go their separate ways.
Jiū Mù was very afraid, but in the end he softened up. He listened to Wēn Cuì's words and stood on the edge of the pit pulling the rope.
Wen Jiu Mu said: "At that time, adding Wen Xuan, there were three people in total who went down. I held the rope and they walked in slowly. Not far from where we were, I suddenly heard a loud scream coming from the pit. The voice was very loud and clear... I panicked at that moment. They must have encountered something. I started to pull the ropes with all my might. There were three ropes in total. I was so flustered that I didn't know which one belonged to Wen Xuan..."
Wen Jiu Mu's voice trembled, as if the memory still frightened him. He continued: "I pulled up the first rope, but it was very light. Just as I was wondering about it, I smelled a burning smell... The rope came out of the hole, but it didn't pull out a person... It was a piece of burnt human skin..."
Wen Baiyu let out an unconscious "ah" and was so scared that he got goosebumps on his arms, and leaned closer to Wan Jiahui. Wan Jiahui reached out and wrapped his arm around Wen Baiyu's waist, the action very natural.
Wen Jiubao continued: "Then I pulled out the second rope, which was also a piece of charred human skin... Then I pulled out the third one... Fortunately, there was nothing on the rope, it was empty."
At that time, Jiuzhang thought that without Wen Pei, he must be alive!
Jiǔ Mù didn't care about anything else, shouldered his luggage and crawled into the cave from the entrance. It was very dark inside, with no sound at all. Everywhere were murals of fire gods and some sacrificial murals.
Although he was afraid, he feared more that Wen Yue would get into trouble. Moreover, he had also been carefully trained and was skilled in various intricate mechanisms. Although there were many mechanisms in the tomb, none of them could stump Jiu Mu.
He kept walking in, and suddenly heard the sound of wailing, which seemed to be a child's cry, echoing in the tomb passage, extremely frightening. At this moment, his nose smelled the bloody smell again, very strong.
In the depths of the tomb passage, someone was moving, two figures, they were getting closer and closer, and finally, Jiuyin saw clearly that they were two monsters without human skin, one of whom had a gun on his waist, Jiuyin recognized them, they were partners.
Those two monsters had a big hole in their chests, and Jiū Mù saw that there were worms burrowing into them. They were large, black, shelled worms - the kind of corpse-controlling worms that could manipulate humans.
Two monsters came stumbling over, still clutching a baby in their hands!
The baby was very small, with blood all over his body, but he cried out loud. The nine tombs relaxed and looked like they had been splashed with blood.
Those two monsters were abnormally terrifying, and even though Jiumu was skilled at breaking through mechanisms, he had no idea how to deal with things like this.
Wen Jiu Mu said: "I wanted to save that child, he was crying so pitifully, but the monster wouldn't let go. I was chased all the way to the main tomb chamber... The main tomb chamber is just up ahead, not far from here. Then the monster suddenly pounced on me from behind, they had no skin, their blood-red flesh was bleeding, and they were covered in burns like fire. They threw the child aside, one pinned down my limbs, one choked my neck, I was suffocating and couldn't breathe, I fainted and thought I was dead for sure..."
Wen Baiyu listened with bated breath and said: "Then... then what?"
Wen Jiu Mu smiled and said, "I don't know how long I was unconscious. When I woke up, I was still in the main tomb chamber. Those two strange creatures were lying on one side, seemingly dead... The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Wen Kai..."
Jiǔ Mù cried at that time, he was scared and thought he would never see Wēn Kuì again. Jiǔ Mù knew Wēn Kuì's personality and thought the other would scold him, but instead Wēn Kuì suddenly hugged him tightly and said as long as he was fine, everything was okay.
Jiǔ Mù has gone a bit silly, asking him, why don't you scold yourself, he doesn't allow himself to come down.
Wen Kai smiled and said, I won't scold him again. In the past, he was wrong, but from now on, everything will be done his way.
Wen Kai finished speaking, then kissed him. Jiu Mu was even more stunned at that moment. He thought Wen Kai would definitely get married and have children. He only had a one-sided love for him, but he didn't expect Wen Kai also liked him, it's just that he never said anything about it.
Wen Kai said that he had liked him for a long time, and very early on, every time he saw him curl up and hug his knees tightly after solving the mechanism, Wen Kai felt like his heart was going to burst. His feelings had changed from sympathy to something more, and by the time he realized it, it was too late to take it back.
Jiǔ Mù felt as if he was in a cloud of fog, except for the feeling of fatigue on his body, he couldn't exert any strength, and his body was intact, without any burns from the monster.
Wen Jiu Mu said: "Just as I woke up, I heard the sound of crying, it was that child... Wen Bao said, they went down not long after and encountered a mechanism, the other two people were burned by the mechanism, he escaped alone, later met another group of people who came to fight, they were very strange, seemingly not here to fight, but to make offerings... They had many babies in their hands, all looked very small, they wanted to sacrifice these children to the fire god in the tomb, the child I saw was one of them."
Wen Jiu Mu paused for a moment, looked up at Wen Bai Yu, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Wen Bai Yu's cheek. His eyes were welling up with tears as he said: "I and Wen Cui, we can't have any more children... I thought that when we're old, if there's no one to accompany us, it would be so lonely... If we bring the child back, then when we're old, the child will also grow up and won't be lonely..."
Wen Baiyu's eyes widened in shock as he listened, muttering: "That child... is it me?"
Wen Jiu nodded and said, "Wen Lei didn't agree. He said it was unlucky to pick up a child from the grave, and the child was injured. His left shoulder had a long scar and strange burn marks. I couldn't bear to watch the child die in the grave, so I told him that he had just promised to listen to me from now on and couldn't go back on his word... Wen Lei didn't know what came over him; usually, he would argue with me, but this time he just agreed without a word. As long as I liked it... We took the child out of the grave, and I fell seriously ill for a long time. Wen Lei said that he was done with tomb raiding and would never do it again. We settled down in Jinhua to help me recover, and although life was very difficult at first, Wen Lei never mentioned tomb raiding again..."
Later...
He paused, looking at Wen Baiyu, and continued: "Later, a Taoist priest saw you, he said you were born with a great fortune, naturally superior to others... I was very happy when I heard it, but the Taoist priest also said that your fate would bring you fatal disasters, saying that you were born with an incomplete soul, attracting petty people and ghosts, most importantly... you are a Phoenix Blood."
"What is Phoenix Blood after all?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes slightly.
Wen Jiu Mu said: "Phoenix blood has always been a legend, and it is said that only the divine phoenix clan will have such blood. The phoenix can be reborn from the ashes, with the same lifespan as heaven and earth, its blood is a positive yang thing, which can make people come back to life, even live forever. Later, some people also said that there were phoenixes who fell to the mortal world, they gave up their wings and fire eyes to adapt to human life, and became human-like in appearance. Their descendants, although not divine, inherited the phoenix blood. Phoenix blood is a treasure that can be encountered but not sought after, especially for those who are down-to-earth, being down-to-earth itself is a matter of nine deaths and one life."
Wen Baiyu said in shock: "I'm so powerful? How come I didn't feel it......"
Wen Jiu Mu said: "I didn't believe it at the time, I thought the Taoist was a swindler, but just before that... you heard me and Wen Cui arguing, it was also because of this matter. I don't know what happened, there were rumors among the Taoists that you are a Phoenix Blood, although we haven't been involved in such things for many years, the news still spread quickly, someone offered a high price to buy your blood... Yesterday... yesterday Wen Cui said he wanted your blood."
Wen Jiu Mu smiled wryly and said, "You may not be my child, but Wen Xuan and I have raised you for so many years, we've already developed feelings. How could I bring myself to... Wen Xuan, he... is indeed the most ruthless person I've ever met. I should have known it earlier."
Wen Baiyu was shocked and asked: "Uncle wants my blood?"
Wen Jiu Mu could only bitterly smile and say: "He says he's not doing it for the money, that there are difficulties involved, but then he doesn't say anything else. Who can believe him?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at Wen Jiu Mu for a moment, but didn't say anything.
Wen Jiu Mu said: "I can only break through mechanisms, I'm not as good as Wen Xuan's, but fortunately... If you follow Wan Xi Jing Hou, I would be at ease. Once you leave the tomb, just go and don't come back."
Wen Bai's nose felt a bit sour, she sniffled and said: "I think it's a bit strange... Uncle, if you want my blood, why not just kill me at home? Why bring me to the grave? And this grave, all of you have been down here before, what's the point of coming down again?"
Wen Jiu Mu shook his head and said: "I don't know, I no longer understand what he's thinking now."
Just then, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly narrowed his eyes and said: "Wen Cui has arrived."
Wen Jiu Mu suddenly stood up, grabbed Wen Bai Yu and said: "Let's go quickly, we dug a thief hole behind the main tomb chamber that year, we can get out of the tomb, let's hurry."
Wen Baiyu was caught by Wen Jiumu and hurriedly followed him as they ran towards the main tomb chamber together.
Wen Kai chased after them and saw their backs. His shoulder was bleeding profusely, but he couldn't care less. He shouted loudly: "Xiao Jiu! Don't go any further!"
But the three people in front didn't listen to him, Wen Sui heavily slapped the wall with his hand and then quickly ran forward, chasing after them towards the main tomb chamber.
They ran along the winding path of the tomb, with intricate carvings on the stone walls on both sides. Wen Baiyu only took a glance and suddenly felt extremely nauseous.
There are those who dig out their hearts and lungs, those who chop off their heads and trample on their feet, and others who... It seems like they're all part of a sacrificial ritual. It really feels like an evil cult, indeed not like divine beings.
They kept running in and soon saw a huge gate flashing before them. The gate was open, with flame patterns engraved on both leaves of the door.
The tomb is very large. What's surprising is that there is a coffin in the tomb, and the four sides of the coffin are surrounded by flames!
Upon closer inspection, the coffin is surrounded by a small groove on all sides, which appears to be a curved water channel. Inside, there are unknown objects that seem to be burning. If this were a Warring States tomb, the idea of burning would have been sufficient for a long time.
The tomb chamber has only one coffin, the rest are stone carvings, each carved very vividly, but the movements make people shiver.
The largest statue is a totem of flames, looking like fiercely burning fire. Inside the totem, several people are carved, all naked, both men and women, dancing with joy, their faces filled with excited smiles, throwing themselves into the flames...
"Damn it..."
Wen Baiyu suddenly cursed and looked at him with goosebumps all over his body.
People in flames have green eyes and emit a fluorescent glow.
Wen Baiyu only took a glance, but suddenly felt as if he was being sucked in. His mind was somewhat overwhelmed, and he seemed to feel the totem come alive. The flames were dancing, and the people within the flames were screaming, laughing, and cheering amidst the burning inferno, their hands and feet waving wildly as they begged the fire god for rebirth...
Wen Baiyu's mind was buzzing, he couldn't catch his breath, and his vision was blurry.
At this moment, Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a cold bloody taste on his lips, and he suddenly came to himself, only to find that he was already lying on the ground.
Wen Jiu Mu looked at him excitedly and said: "Bai Yu, you're awake?! What's wrong with you? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"
Wen Baiyu lifted her head to take a look, and found herself lying in Wan Jingshou's arms, with Wen Jiumu kneeling beside them. He pursed his lips, feeling cool and smooth, and reached out to wipe away what he thought was sweat, only to discover it was blood.
Wen Baiyu looked at Wan Jingshou's hand and indeed there was a wound on it.
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Don't go to see the Totem, the fluorescent light on the Totem is made of Yin Lingzi's eyes, it has a bewildering effect and will make people hallucinate."
Wen Baiyu nodded slightly, she had almost been scared to death just now, thinking that the Totem had come to life, but it was just an illusion.
On either side of the giant totem are two phoenixes carved from gems, one on the left and one on the right, both with their heads bowed in a humble state, as if reverently worshiping the totem of the fire demon.
Wen Baiyu said: "There is actually a phoenix here?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The phoenix is the god of positive yang energy, and Huo Mo has always wanted to drive out the phoenix. Having such a totem is also normal."
Wen Baiyu nodded, wanting to get up from the ground. He stretched out his hand to prop himself up, but as soon as he did, the stone slab made a "crack" sound, seeming unstable.
Wen Baiyu's face flushed with excitement as he reached out to tap the stone slab, saying: "This stone slab is movable, isn't there a hidden compartment underneath?"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand to touch the stone slab, and then ran along the gap, his movements were very light, but very focused. Wen Jiu Mu couldn't help but admit that if they really drew, he was indeed not a match for this young man, let alone after 26 years had passed.
Wan Qi Jing Hou finished touching it and suddenly pulled out the stone slab, underneath was soil.
Wan Qi Jing Hou immediately stood up and said lightly: "If you want to know Wen Cui's sorrow, it should be under this."
Wen Baiyu and Wen Jiumu were shocked, looking at Wan Qi Jinghou in surprise. Wen Baiyu said: "What is this below?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou did not speak.
Wen Jiu Mu suddenly squatted down and began digging with both hands, looking extremely frantic.
Wen Baiyu asked again: "What is it after all? Don't be mysterious!"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou still didn't answer him, but instead lowered his head to look at Wu Jinmu digging the soil and said: "I advise you one sentence, don't dig anymore."
Wen Jiu Mu looked up at him, narrowed his eyes, and then lowered his head to dig the soil again.
The earth was very deep. Wen Jiuxi dug into the soil with both hands, desperately digging, and his fingernails broke quickly, and the places where they were worn away were all sandy soil.
Wen Baiyu was a bit unbearable, but they didn't bring any tools, so they had to squat down and dig with Wen Jiumu together. Wan Kuangjinghou never lifted a hand, standing aside with his arms crossed.
They dug nearly twenty centimeters deep and a large hole had appeared on the ground, but still nothing was found.
At this time, Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly looked towards the door of the tomb chamber, and immediately someone walked in.
It's Wen Lei!
Wen Kei, due to blood loss, had a somewhat pale complexion. He rushed in and saw Wen Jiu Mu crouching on the ground digging soil. Shocked into speechlessness, he shouted "Little Nine!" and was about to rush over.
Wen Jiu Mu suddenly raised his gun and aimed at Wen Cui, saying in a cold voice: "Don't take another step forward! This time I fire, it won't be just your shoulder that gets hit!"
Wen Jiumu shouted hoarsely until he was out of breath, Wen Xuan was startled, he had never seen Wen Jiumu so angry before, and smiled wryly: "I know, I know... your marksmanship, is still what I taught..."
Wen Jiu Mu's hands trembled as he listened to him mention these things, the gun barrel shaking non-stop, seemingly unable to lift it.
Wen Ke didn't stop, but instead continued walking slowly forward, little by little getting closer to Wen Jiu Mu.
Wen Jiu Mu opened his big eyes wide and stared at Wen Kai, saying: "Don't take another step! I'm warning you! Do you really think I don't dare to fire the gun?!"
Wen Kai still didn't stop, continuing to walk forward, saying: "Xiao Jiu, I'm begging you, when I beg you, don't dig anymore... I don't want the Phoenix Blood anymore, please, I don't want the Phoenix Blood anymore, let's go... Don't dig it up."
Wen Jiu Mu saw him about to walk over, but his hand was shaking violently and he couldn't pull the trigger. With a "bang", the gun fell to the ground and slid far away.
Wen Kai rushed over at this time, his arms tightly wrapped around Wen Jiu Mu, saying: "Little nine, let's go! Hurry up!"
He seemed to have given up on something and was somewhat desperate, as if he couldn't stay in the tomb for another moment. Wen Baiyu had never seen Wen Pei so scared before. He tightly hugged Wen Jiumu, as if letting go would make Wen Jiumu disappear.
Wen Jiu Mu was held back by him and said: "What is this thing underneath?"
Wen Kai didn't say a word, just hugged him and said: "Don't ask anymore, let's go, I don't want the phoenix blood anymore, I won't do anything to Bai Yu again, really, Xiao Jiu you believe me...Bai Yu is also my child, I don't have the heart to take his blood either...you believe me."
Wen Jiu Mu looked at him but didn't speak. It wasn't that he didn't believe Wen Xuan, it was just that he didn't dare to, because Wen Xuan's heart was too ruthless...
Wen Kei smiled bitterly and said: "Believe me, Xiao Jiu, I can swear... if I ever think of harming Bai Yu again, may I die without a burial place..."
Wen Jiu's eyes reddened in an instant, and he hugged Wen Sui tightly. He didn't know what was wrong with him either. His legs felt a bit weak and he couldn't stand up at all. His body gradually became powerless, even breathing felt very tiring...
"Wen Kai shouted loudly: 'Xiao Jiu! What's wrong with you?!'"
Wen Jiu Mu was speechless, staring at Wen Kai with his eyes, his body getting colder and colder.
Wen Baiyu also ran over and grasped Wen Jiuzong's hand, which felt icy to the touch, just like Wang Qishan's temperature.
"Wan, Wan Qi Jing Hou! Come quick! What's wrong with my little uncle? His... his hand is so cold..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou stood still, looking down at Wen Jiu Mu from a superior position and said, "I told you not to dig it up."
He paused for a moment and continued in a light tone: "Because under this, your corpse is buried."
"What?!"
Wen Baiyu stared at Wan Jinhong in shock.
Wen Kai suddenly raised his head, his eyes congested with blood, and glared fiercely at Wan Kuang Jing Hou.
Wen Jiu Mu stared at him in shock, feeling his body gradually turn cold and even stiff...
"Originally... it was like this... originally twenty-six years ago... I had already... already died..."
That year, Jiū Mù was strangled by two skinless monsters and soon died, but he woke up again and saw Wēn Kuì. He thought it was Wēn Kuì who saved him, and at that time, Wēn Kuì's attitude towards him suddenly changed. He no longer spoke coldly, and everything went his way, not even saying a single "no".
The reason is that Wen Lei has seen Jiuzhai die in his own arms, when he saw Jiuzhai, Jiuzhai had already stopped breathing, his face was pale, and there were scorch marks on his neck and body. Wen Lei felt a deep despair for the first time...
And now is the second time.
Wen Ke shook his head hard, holding him tightly and saying: "Xiao Jiu, don't talk nonsense, you're fine, don't sleep, don't sleep, look at me..."
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "If you dig here, the yang energy that holds the corpse will dissipate from the soil, and it will naturally become like this."
Wen Kei held Wen Jiu's increasingly cold body and said, "Why did you have to say these things, why did you have to say it out loud! I had already given up, I was thinking... even if there was no Phoenix Blood, I couldn't save Little Jiu, at least I could still accompany him for the last few days..."
Wen Baiyu couldn't help it either, and tears began to flow down her face.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou reached out and wrapped his arms around Wen Bai Yu's waist, saying: "Don't cry."
He reached out to wipe away Wen Baiyu's tears, and then said: "If no one finds out, do you plan on being a puppet of Huo Mo for the rest of your life? The only way to sustain a corpse is with the vital energy of a living person. You've sustained him for 26 years, how many more years can you keep this up?"
Wen Baiyu's eyes widened as she grabbed Wang Ju's hand and asked, "Do you have a way?"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded, and Wen Kai suddenly looked at him, saying: "Do you really have a way? Hurry up and say it! Xiao Jiu is no longer okay!"
He himself is a dead man, has been dead for 26 years, and doesn't care about these few minutes.
Wan Xi Jing Hou paused for a moment and said: "I want to know what you did in this tomb, and who wants Wen Bai Yu's blood."
Wen Kai looked somewhat dejected and said: "I... I saw Xiaojiu's body at the time, he had already stopped breathing."
Nine coffins lay on the ground, with a crying baby beside them.
Wen Kai thought he was going crazy at that time. He never allowed Jiuzhai to go down the pit, just because he was afraid of danger in Jiuzhai. Although he often said he wanted to wash his hands and not get involved, who could say clearly when to wash his hands and not get involved? Maybe after saying goodbye to the last tomb, this last tomb would never be able to come out again.
Wen Kai was holding Jiu Mu at that time, he thought that since Jiu Mu had already died, it didn't make sense for him to live and leave. He might as well accompany Xiao Jiu. This life, he had committed too many sins, if he went out, he would also suffer retribution.
Just as Wen Lei was desperate to die, he saw the totem.
The flame totem was covered in neon lights, and the human figure on the totem had eyes that were also a bright green, made from the eyes of silver spirits.
Yin Lingzi was good at bewildering people and making them hallucinate. Wen Xuan just took a glance, but he was sucked in. He had never seen anything so eerie before.
Just as Wen Baiyu saw, a group of people were jumping and laughing in the flames, with screams of being burned, but not mournful cries. The sound was filled with excitement, as if they took pleasure in it.
Wen Kai had never seen anyone like this before, it made him sick.
Just as Wen Yue was feeling disgusted, a three-headed and six-armed man with flames on the back of his hand and forehead suddenly appeared and spoke to him.
That strange man asked him if he wanted to save Jiumu. If he did, he would kneel down and kowtow, from then on becoming his disciple and serving him for the rest of his life.
Wen Kai was desperate at that time. If someone could save Xiao Jiu, he would agree to anything, let alone kneel down or kowtow.
That person taught him a method, letting him dig a hole in the tomb chamber and bury the nine coffins underneath. He also said that the fire god's flame would naturally use yang energy to preserve his corpse, keeping it intact, so the nine coffins wouldn't disappear. However, he absolutely couldn't dig open the earth; once dug open, the nine coffins would instantly rot and turn into a pile of dust.
That man made Wen Lei promise him one thing. As for what it is, when the time is ripe, he will naturally go find him and tell him clearly. The rest doesn't need to be known by him.
Wen Ke agreed, and Jiu Mu really came back to life. There were no burns on his body, he was fine, but Jiu Mu told him that he was particularly tired and had no energy.
After they came up from the grave, Jiuzhong often fell ill and was extremely weak. After seeing a doctor, Western medicine said that his immune system was poor and he needed to be very careful. Traditional Chinese medicine said that his body was virtual and cold, and he needed long-term treatment. A Taoist priest said that Jiuzhong had no three souls and seven spirits, and his body was full of extreme yin energy, so it would naturally be virtual and cold.
This kind of person is a puppet and needs to absorb yang energy to maintain their physical body, Wen Xue doesn't care, it's just that she herself is a living person with yang energy to give him.
Later, Wen Baiyu grew up a bit, and Wen Kai sent him away to Beijing. Jiuzhong still thought that Wen Kai was heartless and felt that he had no feelings for Wen Baiyu. Wen Kai could only sigh, it was precisely because he had feelings that he feared the yin energy of Jiuzhong would affect Wen Baiyu.
Wen Kai thought that he was enough by himself, and from now on, Xiao Jiu would live by his side. The two of them, no matter what, were enough for Wen Kai.
Just as Wen Lei thought everything was fine, Xiao Jiu suddenly fell ill again and was bedridden for a whole year. After seeing all sorts of doctors to no avail, he had no choice but to go see that Taoist priest.
The Taoist simply shook his head and said, "Evil spells will always be evil spells, they will eventually come to an end."
Wen Kai felt something was off at that time, later he had a dream, Xiao Jiu was lying beside him, cold as ice, her whole body stiffened, she would never speak again, never smile, never look at him...
Wen Kai nearly went mad, holding Xiao Jiu's corpse, when the three-headed six-armed monster appeared again.
The monster Tudou told him that he was the true Fire God, and now there was a place where he could be useful. As long as he could do this thing, he would no longer need to worship himself, and the Nine Tombs could also thoroughly revive.
Wen Ke looked at them and said: "What's going on, you may have already guessed... He said he wants Wen Baiyu's blood."
Wen Baiyu could only think of these four words: "As expected".
He said, "That man said that Wen Baiyu's blood was phoenix blood and told me to kill Wen Baiyu, put his blood in a sealed container, bring it to this grave, and pour the blood on the coffin... I've also been mixed up in Taoism before, so I naturally know about phoenix blood. It's a treasure that can bring people back from the dead. So I thought, maybe the zombie in the grave wants to come back to life... Hmph, I'm indeed a ruthless person. If it's really phoenix blood, why should I give it to him? I can use the phoenix blood to save Little Jiu..."
Wen Ke did not kill Wen Baiyu, he couldn't bring himself to do it, instead he took Wen Baiyu to the grave, at that time Wen Ke thought, perhaps after seeing Xiaojiao's body, he would definitely take action, because he had no other way out.
Wen Ke did not expect that Master Ma would intervene in this matter, and Xiao Jiu found out about it. Xiao Jiu didn't know the details of the situation, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have taken action against Wen Baiyu.
Wen Kai said: "As for who that person is, I'm not clear either. What I can remember clearly is just this, the clearest being the flame patterns on his head and hands."
Wen Baiyu said: "It's those patterns again, the people we met before, could they be the followers of Huo Mo? Their methods are so eccentric and abnormal."
Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "It's possible."
Wen Kai said: "I've told you everything I know, what exactly can you do to save Xiao Jiu?"
Wen Baiyu also urged, "Yes, yes, hurry up and say it, don't keep us in suspense!"
Wan Xi Jing Hou sighed and said: "I have no way to make him come back to life."
Wen Kai suddenly flew into a rage and said: "What did you say?!"
Wan Xi Jing Hou continued, "I can make him no different from ordinary people, but remember, from now on he is the Zongzi you once tried to kill. He has no Yang energy, only Yin energy, and cannot touch any magical instruments or talismans, otherwise he will suffer from burns."
Wen Kai was somewhat distracted, tightly hugging Wen Jiu Mu.
After a while, Wen Lei nodded and said, "I don't care what he is."
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Now dig up the earth and take out his true body."
Wen Ke immediately started kneeling down to dig the soil, like a madman. Wen Baiyu also knelt down to help. They hadn't dug much when Wen Jiumu's corpse suddenly appeared. Their movements became lighter, afraid of damaging it.
Only on Wen Jiu Mu's corpse were there large and small scorch marks all over, it must have been extremely painful at the time.
As soon as they were dug up, the corpses began to lose moisture, slowly withering and showing signs of decay.
Wen Baiyu was shocked and said: "This... what's going on?!"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly pulled out a dragon-scale dagger and cut his own hand, causing a large wound to appear, with blood spraying out and splashing onto Wen Jiu Mu's body.
A body that was just about to rot suddenly became intact.
"Drip...drip..."
"Drip, drip......"
Blood didn't stop flowing, and it flowed all over his body like warm jade.
Wen Baiyu anxiously looked at Wan Jingshou, the wound was too big, although it was slowly healing. The bleeding was severe, almost spraying out, Wan Jingshou's face was already close to deathly pale, Wen Baiyu couldn't tell if his face had turned even paler.
The wound is slowly healing, Wen Kai's eyes widened, he had never seen such a person.
The more blood flowed, the smaller it became, but Wen Jiu Mu was still gloomy and lifeless.
"Hiss——"
Another slash, and General Wan Xi added another cut to his already healing wound.
Wen Baiyu looked at him and felt pain, saying: "You..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I won't die."
Wen Baiyu wanted to say more, but suddenly heard a "click" sound and said: "What's that noise?"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and said: "Not good, the corpse in the coffin smells the blood, it's going to resurrect."
Wen Baiyu said: "Let's hurry up and get out of here first."
As he spoke, the coffin suddenly made a "bang bang bang" sound, as if it was violently hitting the lid, and the coffin began to shake constantly, as if someone inside was struggling.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou looked at Wen Cui and said, "Take them away first."
Wen Kai stood up and said: "No, you still have to save Xiao Jiu. You go first, I'll block them."
Wan Xi Jing Hou glanced at him and said: "This coffin should be a blood rice dumpling, and the Tao is not shallow. You can't afford it."
Wen Kai also knew that this tomb was too eerie after all.
Wan Qi Jinghou stood up and said: "No time to waste, hurry up and go. You know where the thief's cave is, take them there, I'll meet you later."
Wen Kai finally gritted his teeth and nodded, saying: "Out of the tomb chamber to the left, in the second ear chamber there is a thief hole, you can climb up directly, we will wait for you above."
Wen Baiyu didn't leave, he grabbed Wan Jinhou and said: "I'll go with you."
Wen Kai said: "Bai Yu, what are you doing?! Hurry up and leave!"
Wen Kai said, holding up Wen Jiuyue's body, and turning back to say: "Hurry up and leave, Bai Yu! You staying here won't do any good!"
Wen Baiyu grasped Wan Jiahui tightly and said, "Even if I'm useless, I also want to stay."
Wan Qi Jing Hou was amused by him and turned to hold Wen Bai Yu's hand, saying: "Then let's do it together."
He immediately said to Wen Lei: "Hurry and leave, I can handle it, and won't let Wen Baiyu get hurt."
Wen Kei had no choice, Wen Baiyu was like having eaten a bitter pill, so he could only turn around and hug Wen Jiumu to run out of the main tomb chamber.
Just as Wen Lei was about to leave, "Boom!" A loud noise, the coffin burst open from the middle.
Wen Baiyu suddenly said: "This zongzi is too barbaric, even the place where I sleep has been blown up."
After the coffin burst open, Wen Baiyu immediately smelled a pungent smell, and Wan Kuang Jinghou covered his mouth, saying: "It's corpse poison."
Wen Baiyu quickly covered her mouth and nose, just as a blood-soaked zongzi crawled out of the cracked coffin, its two black eyes staring at them.
The blood clots in the throat made a "gurgling... gurgling..." sound, one mouthful, sticky inside, as if there was some mucus, and fell to the ground with a "plop plop" sound.
Wen Baiyu took a step back, and Wan Xi Jinghou said: "He has poison on his body, don't get close, no need to fight hard, just need to give Wen Kai some time to delay."
Wen Baiyu nodded slightly.
The blood dumpling crawled out, and to everyone's surprise, it started crawling on the ground with its hands and feet. Wen Baiyu's eyelids twitched as he said, "This...this dumpling really has some personality..."
Xue Zongzi had only taken a few steps when Wan Qi Jinghou grabbed Wen Baiyu and slowly retreated backwards, all the way to the outside of the gate.
"Heh heh!"
"Heh heh!"
Xue Zongzi let out a loud roar, and suddenly changed from crawling on all fours to standing upright on two feet. His two hands shot forward, making a pouncing motion, as if he was about to pounce on them.
At this moment, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly stretched out his hand and rummaged through the stone lamp outside the gate a few times, as if he had found something, and pressed it hard.
Rumble, rumble——
The stone gate slammed shut with a loud "Bang!" and was immediately followed by another "Bang" from inside the gate, as if that blood clot had crashed into the gate.
Wen Baiyu subconsciously touched her own nose and said, "It hurts a lot from the collision."
"Let's go find your uncle."
Wen Baiyu hastily nodded and smiled: "This zongzi's IQ is too low."
Two people walked in the direction that Wen Lei had said, passing by the first ear room and the second ear room which was not close to the first one. As they were walking, a low growl suddenly sounded, followed by Wen Lei's shout, "Xiao Jiu, hurry up!"
Wen Baiyu was startled, Wen Kai's voice was hoarse and exhausted, with suppressed pain, Wen Baiyu said: "It's not good, have they encountered another Zongzi?!"
Wen Ke hugged Wen Jiu Mu and ran to the ear room, that thief cave was still there. As soon as Wen Ke put down Wen Jiu Mu, he felt that the person in his arms suddenly moved a little.
Although still chilly, Wen Jiu Mu slowly opened his eyes.
Wen Ke excitedly hugged Wen Jiu Mu tightly and said: "Xiao Jiu... you're really alive."
Wen Jiumu's spirit was somewhat different, his face pale, lips purple, and there were burn marks on his neck and arms. Wen Jiumu looked down at his own hands and said, "Wen Lei?"
Wen Kai nodded and smiled: "It's me, Xiao Jiu."
Wen Jiu Mu thought he would never see Wen Ye again, feeling the scorching body temperature of that person, and couldn't help but shudder, rubbing his injured wrist.
Wen Kai grasped his wrist and said, "It's okay, none of this matters, as long as you're fine. Once we get home, I'll find a doctor to take a look at you."
Wen Jiu Mu smiled and said: "As long as you don't despise me, that's all that matters..."
Wen Kai hugged him and was so excited that he said: "How could I possibly dislike you."
Wen Jiu Mu looked around and said: "Where is Bai Yu? And also Wan Kui Jing Hou?"
Wen Kai said: "They are still in the main tomb chamber, and the rice dumplings have resurrected the dead."
Wen Jiu Mu Yi listened and struggled to get up, saying: "The corpse has risen? What about the white feather?"
Wen Ke pressed him down and said, "Don't move for now, there's still Wan Kui Jing Hou. He's more formidable than us, besides... besides, Bai Yu has deep feelings for him and must be with him."
Wen Jiu Mu could naturally see that the two of them had too many small movements, and Wan Kuang Jing Hou's movements were very "ostentatious", with no attempt to conceal his affection for Wen Bai Yu.
At this moment, Wen Lei's face suddenly changed, and he coughed, saying: "Xiao Jiu, let's go quickly, we'll wait for them upstairs. With Wan Zong Jing Hou there, don't worry about Bai Yu."
Wen Jiu Mu was worried about Wen Bai Yu, but he also feared that after so many years, the thief cave would be blocked. So he prepared to enter with Wen Kai first to take a look, and if it was blocked, they could dig again.
Wen Jiu Mu first drilled into the thief cave, he had just woken up, his body was very weak, and as he crawled in, he said: "It looks like there is no blockage ahead..."
He said, without hearing Wen Yue's response, turned his head and looked back, only to find that there was no one behind him!
Wen Jiu Mu suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked carefully for a long time, but still didn't see anyone. He hastily retreated backwards, all the way back to the entrance of the cave, and returned to the ear chamber. Only then did he discover that Wen Kai had not followed him up, but was instead crouching in the corner of the ear chamber, one hand supporting himself against the wall, the other hand clutching his chest, as if enduring some kind of pain.
Wen Jiu Mu rushed over, grabbed Wen Xuan and said: "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you follow me?"
Wen Ke saw him return, waved his hand and said: "You go first, I'll wait for Bai Yu, and then follow them up to find you."
Wen Jiu Mu Yan said: "You're deceiving people, you can't even tell a lie, what's wrong with you!"
Wen Ke's arm was trembling, his face turned pale, his lips turned blue, he raised his head to stare at Wen Jiu Mu, his face almost twisted, biting his teeth, squeezing out a few words from his mouth.
"Go quickly, Xiao Jiu, go quickly! Don't worry about me!"
Wen Jiuxiu watched him in pain, reached out to help him, but was waved away by Wen Lei. Wen Jiuxiu was caught off guard and fell to the ground, staring at Wen Lei in shock.
Wen Kai also lowered his head and looked at his own hands, then grabbed his own wrists, as if his hands were disobedient.
Wen Ke's hand suddenly trembled as he pulled out a gun from his bag, Wen Jiu Mu's eyes widened in shock and rushed over to press him down, saying: "What are you doing! Are you crazy?!"
Wen Kai's hand holding the gun was trembling, wanting to pull the trigger, but couldn't pull it down, finally "bang" fell to the ground.
Wen Kai desperately gasped for air, his face growing increasingly hideous as he said: "Hurry and leave, I...I have corpse worms in my body, I'm about to lose control...... Xiao Jiu, go, I don't want to harm you!"
Wen Jiu was startled, he knew that thing, at that time his adoptive father was like that, being drilled into the heart by insects, starting to go mad, there were still deep knife wounds on his hands, and his wrists were almost chopped off.
He didn't expect Wen Yue to be like this, watching him suffer and fall to the ground, tightly grasping his own wrist, with his mouth corner already bitten through, continuously trembling.
Wen Jiu Mu blinked and said: "I won't go."
Wen Kai seemed like he couldn't take it anymore and said: "Listen to me, I...I had it coming, this is all retribution..."
Wen Jiu Mu stretched out his hand and hugged him, saying: "Then I'm the same, I'll accompany you."
Wen Kai let out a loud "Hoo... hoo..." from his throat, and couldn't bear it anymore, shouting: "Xiao Jiu, hurry up!"
When Wen Baiyu rushed in, he saw Wen Kai's face was pale, with a ferocious expression, pinning Wen Jiumu to the ground, his hands grasping Wen Jiumu's neck, and blood on Wen Jiumu's arm, as if bitten by Wen Kai.
Wen Baiyu was startled and said: "This... what's going on?"
He rushed up, and Wen Lei suddenly went mad, pushing him away fiercely with one hand.
Wen Baiyu retreated several steps back, and Wan Jingshou caught him in one swift motion, asking: "Are you injured?"
"Wen Baiyu said: 'I'm not injured, my little uncle is injured!'"
Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow, and Wen Bai Yu said: "What's wrong with Big Uncle? Has he gone mad? He wants to strangle Little Uncle to death!"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said lightly: "Your little uncle is already a rice dumpling, he won't die."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu was suddenly speechless, bother you not to tell cold jokes at this time!
"Wan Baiyu said: 'Quick! Separate them quickly.'"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly rushed forward. Wen Bai Yu just heard a loud "bang" and Wen Kai had already flown out horizontally, crashing into the wall of the ear room.
"Awesome!"
Wen Jiu Mu crawled up from the ground and saw Wen Bao lying on the ground with a bloody forehead, wanting to go over and help him.
Wan Xi Jing Hou stopped Wen Jiu Mu and said: "Don't go any further, there's a corpse worm inside his body, he's already been controlled."
"Corpse worm?" said Wen Baiyu.
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It's a kind of insect that lives in the grave, feeding on rotting things. However, as soon as it sees a living person, it will burrow into the person's body. This insect is initially very small and can hardly be seen with the naked eye. After entering the human body, it will continue to grow. At first, it only absorbs the remaining nutrients in the body, but when it grows to a certain size, it will not be satisfied with just absorbing nutrients and will tear at the host's internal organs. Finally, it will burst out of the host's body."
"Wen Baiyu stumbled and said: 'Th...then what should we do?'"
Wen Jiu Mu's eyes were moist as he said, "Father's body has this kind of worm, the old man on the Taoist path said it's incurable, you all leave, from the thief cave to the ground..."
Wen Baiyu stopped him from saying more and said, "Don't give up so quickly."
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It's not that there is no way to solve it, saying that there is no cure is indeed a fact, because this worm is not afraid of any medicine, but the worm can be cut out directly."
Wen Baiyu said: "Dissect?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Hold him down."
Wen Baiyu said: "Hurry up."
Wen Jiu Mu and Wen Bai Yu struggled to hold down Wen Lei, who was shouting and struggling. Wen Lei was originally tall and strong, and now he was in a state of confusion, his strength was extremely great, and Wen Bai Yu and Wen Jiu Mu could barely hold him down.
Wan Qi Jing Hou squatted down, stretched out his hand to search his body, and immediately paused for a moment, saying: "The corpse worm crawls very fast, I must act quickly, it will hurt a bit later, he will definitely struggle, you hold him down."
Wen Baiyu nodded repeatedly, already sweating all over, and said: "Don't worry!"
But the next moment, Wen Baiyu experienced what it meant by "a little pain"…
Wen Baiyu only heard a "plop" sound of water, and then something splashed onto the ground, wetting Wen Jiumu's clothes.
It's blood...
Wan Xi Jing Hou's hand had already reached into Wen Lei's abdomen...
"Ah..."
Wen Kei let out a pained scream, his body constantly twitching and struggling, sweat pouring down his face, eyes wide open.
Wen Ke's hands began to move dishonestly and scratched randomly, "slap" sound, fingernails scraped against Wen Baiyu's neck.
The white feather on the neck of the swan was burned by a spark, and it was hot and bleeding.
"Hiss..."
Wen Baiyu lightly took a breath, and Wan Xiang Jinghou immediately looked over, saying: "How is it?"
Wen Baiyu hastily shook his head, only scratching a bit, although bleeding, but far less than that "a little pain".
Wen Kai struggled violently, and Wan Qi Jing Hou said in a low voice: "Don't let him move, the worm is startled and started to crawl."
Wen Jiu Mu's body was covered in sweat, his hands were shaking, and at this moment, "drip" - Wen Bai Yu's blood fell onto Wen Lei's body.
Wen Ke slowly calmed down, bit by bit, as if he was gradually regaining his senses. He stared deeply at Wen Jiu Mu, whose neck and arm had new wounds, which were inflicted by him when he bit her.
Wen Kai was breathing rapidly, and Wan Xi Jing Hou had already started to grab the corpse worm. Wen Kai gritted his teeth and endured the pain, smiling as he said: "I... I bit you, let you go, why... why do you always not listen to me."
Wen Jiu Mu's tears finally fell, and he cried out: "When you're better, I'll definitely bite back, Ninth Master doesn't eat losses."
Wen Kai suddenly burst out laughing, and then let out a short, abrupt low growl of "Uh".
Wan Xi Jing Hou had already withdrawn his hand, and on it was a black insect the size of his palm, with a thick hard shell, still struggling and making "hissing" sounds.
Wan Xi Jing Hou threw the insect to the ground, then raised his hand and with a "pa" sound, the dragon scale dagger was inserted into the insect. The insect wanted to run but was already pinned down, its many legs kicking continuously like a centipede, causing Wen Bai Yu's body to break out in goosebumps.
After a few kicks, the insect finally stopped moving.
"Alright, after going up there to sew him a needle, he won't die anymore."
Wen Jiu Mu nodded slightly and supported him, saying: "I'll help you walk."
Wen Kai nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."
Wen Baiyu let out a breath and followed behind into the cave, when suddenly Wan Jingshou pulled him back. Wen Baiyu turned around, and Wan Jingshou said: "This time I didn't use my hands to dig up the insect."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, could it be that Wan Kuang Jing Hou was seeking praise from him?
He didn't kill the insect with his hand, he just dug into Wen Xue's belly...
Wen Baiyu coughed and said, "Ah, well done."
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said, "Give me a kiss."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wan Jingshou said, stretching out his hand to pull him, Wen Baiyu quickly patted his hand away, saying: "This is a thief's den, are you crazy? It's already narrow, what if we get stuck and need my uncle to come and pull us out, how embarrassing would that be?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said calmly: "I still want to touch you."
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a thrill, and for some reason, upon hearing him say this, her body began to heat up with excitement. She hastily said, "Don't, don't say any more! Let's hurry and go."
Wen Baiyu and others came out of the cave, Wen Jiumu drove the car and sent everyone back home. Wen Jiumu knew a doctor on the way who could suture Wen Lei's wound to stop the bleeding; otherwise, if they were sent to the hospital, it would be uncertain how many things would be dragged out.
After tossing and turning until midnight, Wen Sui's condition finally stabilized, the bleeding stopped, and Wen Jiu Mu had been by his side all along.
Wen Jiu Mu said: "You are all tired too, go rest, I'll stay with him."
Wen Baiyu saw that nothing was wrong, so she let out a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Then we'll go out first."
He took Wan Qi Jing Hou out of the room, turned back to close the door, and when he closed the door, he still saw Wen Jiu Mu lower his head and gently kiss Wen Qiang's lips.
Wen Baiyu smiled a few times, her face full of mischievous smiles.
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "What's so funny?"
Wen Baiyu said: "I just saw my little uncle sneak up on my big uncle, when my big uncle wakes up, I'll tell him, and he might be so happy that his wound will heal instantly."
Wan Xi Jing Hou let out a cold laugh.
Wen Baiyu said: "What are you laughing at?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said lightly: "Maybe he got excited after hearing it and his wound split open."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu couldn't help but admit that Wan Kuangjing was indeed a master of telling cold jokes!
Wen Baiyu's front foot had just entered the bedroom when he heard a "bang" sound, and Wan Jingshou actually closed the door. Then, with one swift motion, he pressed Wen Baiyu against the bedroom door, lowered his head, and kissed him on the lips.
"Hmm..."
Wen Baiyu wanted him to wait a bit longer, but in the dark, he couldn't see anything. Suddenly, Wan Jingshou kissed him, startling him.
The breathing of the two people immediately became heavy, their lips and tongues entwined, Wen Baiyu was also excited, hugging the back of Wan Qi Jinghou, actively extending her tongue.
Wan Xi Jing Hou was very satisfied with his initiative and suddenly reached out to touch down.
"Ah..."
Wen Baiyu shook slightly and said: "You... your hand..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou's voice was hoarse and low, saying: "Comfortable?"
Wen Baiyu's breathing became even more labored, and he asked if he was comfortable. This thing is hard to say, saying uncomfortable is too pretentious, saying comfortable makes Wen Baiyu want to bite his tongue.
Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly took over, asking Fan Bi Luo without leaving any trace, "Is it comfortable?" while kissing his lips.
Wen Baiyu really couldn't take it anymore. Wan Jingshou was originally handsome, and although the sky was too dark to see anything, he must have had a face that made Su unbearable. Just listening to him speak, Wen Baiyu felt his legs go weak.
Wen Baiyu bit him fiercely and said: "You're not nonsense... Ah!"
He hadn't been fierce for three seconds before he suddenly became obedient and tightly hugged Wang Jie.
Just as Wen Baiyu was immersed in Wan Jingshou's demonic claws, she suddenly raised her head and let out a loud "Ah!"
A pair of dark green eyes were staring at them in the darkness.
Then those eyes spoke.
"You're all over each other as soon as you walk in the door, like I'm dead or something!"
Wan Xi Jing Hou turned on the light, his face looked terrible, whoever was disturbed from a good thing wouldn't have a good expression.
Wen Baiyu looked clearly at the faint green light and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Damn, it was actually Jiumeng lying on top of the luggage!
Wen Baiyun was furious, and with two strides he rushed over, grabbed Jiuxing and shook him violently, saying: "What are you scaring people for in the middle of the night!"
The lazy cat said: "You're the ones with guilty consciences."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wan Qi Jing Hou stretched out his hand to take over the nine lives, with a dark face, opened the door, and with a "bang" sound, threw the nine lives outside, then closed the door and locked it with a "click".
Wen Baiyu then heard the sound of nine meows outside the door, followed by scratching sounds with their paws, which made Wen Baiyu's heart skip a beat. The noise was too destructive.
Wan Xi Jing Hou walked over and swept Wen Bai Yu into his arms.
"Damn it..."
Wen Baiyu shouted and was thrown onto the bed by him. Wan Jingshou also got on the bed, pressing down on him from a superior position.
Wen Baiyu said: "Great hero, why resort to violence when you can talk things through?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou lowered his head and said: "Today, your two uncles are here, you haven't kissed me all day."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu said: "You have to be responsible when speaking! Didn't we just kiss a moment ago? Am I supposed to have kissed Jiuling just now?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and said: "Who do you want to kiss?"
Wen Baiyu shrank his neck and said in a particularly timid tone: "...... you."
Wan Xi Jing Hou let out a soft "heh" and lowered his head, bringing his lips close to Wen Bai Yu's, saying softly: "Alright, then you kiss me."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
I'm so fed up!
