Chapter 45: The Witch's Tomb in Western Hunan (Part 1)

  Wen Bai's eyes were wide open as she stared at Xiao Bai Tu, it was truly too shameful, couldn't bear to look straight, however, the expression of Huashe remained very cold, just like a carved statue, her facial expression didn't change at all.

  But Wen Baiyu found that the snake's eyes seemed to be brighter, and the green was a bit scary...

  Just then, Wen Baiyu suddenly heard a "rumbling" sound, and didn't know what the sound was, faintly echoing in the cave.

  Wen Baiyu felt a strange sensation in her heart, and the voice seemed to be coming from outside.

  Immediately followed by a loud "Boom!!" and then the entire cave began to shake violently.

  Wen Baiyu's legs were trembling and he was about to fall when Wan Zijinghou grabbed him and said, "Not good, an avalanche!"

  Wen Baiyu exclaimed in surprise: "Avalanche!? Will the entrance be buried?! Let's hurry up and leave!"

  The beast was already in a semi-comatose state, with its limbs still wrapped around the snake's tail. Upon hearing the avalanche, everyone's faces changed color, even Gluttony's face turned pale, but only the beast was not aware of the situation.

  He grabbed the snake's hand and pulled it up, grabbing the rabbit's ear and pulling him off his own snake tail. The rabbit seemed particularly sensitive to being touched on the ear, and with a "poof" he transformed back into a rabbit shape, dazed and confused, with bright red eyes that seemed to be searching for something, muttering: "Ah... I hate it when people touch my ears..."

  Everyone had no time to play with the beast anymore, and they quickly followed the snake towards the exit of the cave. Not far from the exit, a patch of white snow had already surged into the cave, and indeed it was an avalanche.

  Wen Baiyu can only be grateful now that this cave is hard enough and cleverly designed. Otherwise, if the cave collapses, they will all be crushed to death.

  The snake-like creature threw the beast at Wen Baiyu and said, "You retreat."

  As he spoke, the man's body and face suddenly grew black green scales, which covered his body with a "whoosh" sound. The man's face became more and more pointed, finally turning into a huge snake, exactly like the one they had seen before.

  Now thinking back, the snake spirit was chasing them all along. At Snow Valley, it seemed that it wasn't afraid of Jiutian Xuannu that made it suddenly turn around and leave, but rather because it saw Wanxi Jinghou. The snake spirit said that Wanxi Jinghou had a favor to ask of him.

  Wen Baiyu clicked his tongue, but looking at Wan Kuang Jing Hou's expression, he seemed to have no idea what kindness he had shown to the snake spirit either.

  The snake transformed and suddenly plunged into the snow, followed by a loud "boom" sound. The snow pile was actually dug out of a large hole.

  They stared at each other with wide eyes and said, "You guys think that with such a big commotion from the snake's transformation, won't it trigger another avalanche?"

  Yu Wei Yang said: "You're welcome!"

  Wen Baiyu quickly closed his mouth, but he had a doubt in his heart. When the snake was chasing them, it made a big noise, so why didn't an avalanche occur? He also didn't know what happened outside just now, and somehow the entrance to the cave was buried.

  The snake burst out of the cave entrance, leaving behind a round tunnel. Everyone rushed in one after another and walked out of the snake cave.

  Wen Baiyu looked out at the vast expanse of white snow, took a deep breath, and suddenly her nose was frozen stiff. They had finally seen the light of day again...

  The beast muttered something in its mouth and then started rubbing against Wen Baiyu's neck.

  A warm white feather was blown by him, grasping his ears and shaking back and forth saying: "Hey, wake up, it's so cold outside, why aren't you waking up yet!"

  The beast slowly opened its eyes, and was pinched on the ear by Wen Baiyu. Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a weight in his hand, and the beast had transformed into a human shape, still retaining its ears and tail.

  The beast wrapped its arms around Wen Baiyu's neck, its legs entwined around his, and its slender body pressed tightly against him. Its breathing was particularly hot, and it chuckled in its mouth, saying: "Master... that tyrant is too evil, how about us two? Touch me and see, my body is very smooth... Ah, if you want fluffy ones, I can also..."

  He hadn't finished speaking when his ears were grabbed again. Turning around, he suddenly felt that the person with a bad expression on their back looked very much like a tyrant. Under the confused and dazed gaze of the beast, he was pulled by the ear by Wan Qi Jing Hou and flung away from Wen Bai Yu. With a "whoosh", he flew out like a small cannonball and landed on Hua She's back with a thud.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's face still looked bad, holding Wen Bai Yu's hand and saying: "The weather is so cold, let's have a rabbit meat hot pot."

  Yu Wei Yang could tell that Wan Xi Jing Hou was jealous and couldn't help but laugh.

  Just hearing about eating made him very excited, he nodded and said: "It's been a long time since I've eaten meat! To recover from my injuries, I've been stuck in this place where birds don't lay eggs, and for three meals a day, I can only eat spiders and insects, those things don't have any meat at all."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wen Baiyu looking at him with a particularly disgusted gaze and said, "You actually don't even spare spiders and insects."

  He stared at him and said, "What's wrong with that? Although the meat is a bit less, but the flavor is still quite fresh. Hey, what's with your expressions."

  Others felt particularly disgusted by his words, but Shi Xu smiled and stroked the broken horn of the Gluttony, saying: "They just don't understand appreciation."

  Gluttonous beauty said: "You're right."

  Wēn Bái Yǔ: “……”

  Translation:

  Wen Baiyu: “......”

  Everyone came out of the cave and began to search for Shixu's sister's body. On the snowy slope, they first found Shixu's body. Shixu's expression was very calm, squatting down quietly looking at his own body, smiling and saying: "So this is really me... I only felt a faint sense of fear, I've been through so many battles, but never feared anything before. When I saw this body, I was truly afraid... perhaps it was the fear of knowing that I had already died."

  Further down the snowy slope, everyone found the body of Shi Xu's sister. As expected, her body was completely rotten and looked extremely miserable. Wen Baiyu couldn't bear to look at it anymore and wondered what kind of mentality would allow someone to be so cruel to a little girl.

  Wen Baiyu let out a sigh and said, "Are we going to take it back? But I don't know when we can leave. If we bring it..."

  "Never mind, I think this snow is pretty good. Let's find a place and have a snow burial."

  The crowd came to Snow Valley and buried Shi Xu and his sister's corpses together.

  Wen Baiyu quietly poked Wang Yu Jing Hou and said, "Why is it that Shi Xu's soul doesn't have any problems?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took a look at Shi Xu and said, "I don't know what he encountered before, but his body can gather yin energy, which is much stronger than ordinary spirits. As long as he doesn't come into contact with things that are extremely yang, he should be able to live normally."

  Wen Baiyu is very strange, what exactly did he encounter?

  They buried the body and then began their long journey to the water's edge. The food they carried was almost gone, especially the water, which had almost run out. It seemed impossible to cross such a vast sea.

  Wen Baiyu and they had a shortcut through the winding road, soon arrived at the water's edge, the sky was just dusk, the sun had already set.

  Wen Baiyu stared with her eyes wide open, pointing at the water's edge, saying: "Where is our boat?!"

  Yu Wei Yang said: "I remember it was just in this position, look at this patch of mud and there are still marks... but these marks are very new, and how does it seem like a mark that has been erased?"

  Tang Zi looked at the muddy water and said, "It doesn't seem right, someone has taken away our boat."

  Suddenly thought of the avalanche just now, and said: "Could it be that Dr. Wang? If I had known he was so depraved, I would have thrown him into a pit to feed the rats!"

  Yu Wenyang said: "What to do, without a boat we can't leave."

  The snake suddenly opened its mouth and said, "I can take you there."

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "That's right, the snake is an aquatic animal."

  The tortoise's body quickly submerged into the water, then he lifted up his tail, because his body was enormous, everyone walked on it very steadily.

  The snake-shaped boat was moving extremely fast in the water, just like a roller coaster. A wave came crashing over and almost swept Wen Baiyu away. Wen Baiyu felt the seawater splashing on his face, and he was about to become a sieve.

  The snake drove them to the shore, which was exactly where they were going to cross the sea. Yu Wei Yang and his friends hid their car nearby.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Are you going back to Snake Mountain again?"

  The snake emerged from the water and transformed into a human figure. Shaking its head, it said, "My mission is now complete. I was entrusted with guarding the spiritual object as a debt of gratitude back then. Now that it has been returned to its rightful owner, I will not return to Snake Mountain again."

  The snake looked at the sea and said, "I don't know where to go either."

  Wen Baiyu's eyes lit up, but after thinking about it, his family already had a cat, a mermaid, and now another rabbit and a snake, it was simply like a zoo.

  He hadn't spoken yet, but Wan Xi Jing Hou had already said, "Then let's go together. You're in charge of taking care of that rabbit."

  He said, pointing to the beast wrapped in snakes on its limbs.

  The snake's blood is extremely hot, and the beast has been suffocated to death.

  They found the car, Shi Xu said goodbye to them and got into his own car. Piao Yu stood still, Shi Xu had already closed the car door, suddenly rolled down the window and said: "You... want to come together? I know many delicious local restaurants."

  As soon as he said that, the glutton's eyes almost lit up, and without another word, he opened the passenger door and got in, saying "Where are we going for dinner?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu felt that the Glutton was almost a large dog that could be deceived with just a lollipop, what kind of ferocious beast is this, it's too humiliating for ferocious beasts!

  When Shi Xu drove away, Wen Baiyu and others also got on the car, then realized a serious problem.

  That's when they became four people. The car could barely fit with the addition of a rabbit, because the rabbit was small, but Huashe was the smallest and most robust man in physique, and he couldn't fit at all.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou was very calm and pointed to the trunk.

  Silent White Feather: “……”

  With a "bang", Wen Baiyu closed the trunk and hesitated before saying: "Uh... if we put a rabbit and a snake in the trunk, do you think when we get home, there will only be rabbit bones left?"

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  The beast only felt something cool and icy wrapped around itself, very flexible and cold. He opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by complete darkness, and the space was very narrow and cramped. He had no idea where he was, but then he saw a pair of green, oily eyes staring at him.

  The beast was so scared that it trembled with fear. To put it bluntly, it's just a spiritual beast, neither a wild beast nor a fierce beast. Apart from its beautiful appearance and eloquence, there's nothing else to it. If it encounters a fool, it can play with words, but if it encounters a ruthless one, it would have been torn apart long ago.

  Wen Baiyu ate something in the car and then started to feel nauseous. She quickly lay down on Wan Qiuhou's legs, ready to sleep.

  Biting back the churning in his stomach, he was just about to fall asleep when he heard a loud "Ah!"

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud shriek, it was too mournful. Wen Baiyu thought she had encountered a ghost, after all, deep in the mountains and forests, who knows where there are lonely souls and wild ghosts.

  The result was another "ah" sound, and Wen Baiyu finally heard clearly that it came from the trunk, which was too noisy. Suddenly, her face turned red.

  Wen Baiyu thought to himself, his concerns were right, and indeed he had eaten, but this damn way of eating was not right!

  Wen Baiyu opened her eyes and didn't even want to vomit anymore, feeling embarrassed after listening to the whole thing all night.

  It is said that snakes have a very long time, and it is also said that snakes have two penises.

  Wen Baiyu was extremely curious, but she didn't have the nerve to go and take a look. Just listening to the sounds made her feel so embarrassed that she wanted to die.

  It wasn't until dawn broke that Wen Baiyu heard the noise from the trunk disappear, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  Tang Zi drove for a whole night, stopped to rest, and was about to switch with Rui Yang to continue driving. Suddenly, the trunk made a "bang bang bang" sound, as if someone was knocking from inside.

  Wen Baiyu was afraid that once she opened the trunk, she would see something unsuitable for children. However, the knocking from inside was very urgent and intense, so Wen Baiyu had no choice but to open the trunk.

  As soon as the trunk was opened, something immediately darted out from inside and hung itself around Wen Baiyu's neck.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened as she took a closer look, and her heart let out a loud scream. The beast wasn't in the shape of a white rabbit at all, but rather a shiny, human-like figure covered in scars, looking incredibly fierce.

  Fortunately, this place is still in the wilderness, and there isn't a single person in sight.

  Wen Baiyu saw that Wan Jinhou's face was not looking good and quickly pulled him, saying: "You come down first..."

  The wronged beast clutched his neck and said with a sob: "Master, you have to do something for me... That snake is simply a monster!"

  Wen Baiyu silently said in his heart, he is not a beast, he is a wild animal, if you insist on saying he is a beast, it's also possible...

  The little beast was acting pitifully, sniffling and wiping its nose with its paws, its small tail twitching back and forth. The warm white feathers really couldn't take it anymore, so they had to wipe away its tears and say: "I saw you yesterday... yesterday you were still quite proactive."

  He blushed even his ears turned red and said: "Pfft, who made the first move..."

  The beast saw the snake come out of the trunk and started hugging Wen Bai's neck again, crying, then said: "You beast! I'm in so much pain now, but... it feels so good!"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu thought, it seems that she had interfered too much in other people's business, so she might as well put the beast into the trunk.

  Tangzi and Yu Wei Yang rested enough on that side and said, "Get in the car, let's hurry up."

  Wen Baiyu just wanted to throw the beast into the trunk, when he saw the beast suddenly "whoosh" out, then climbed onto the car, saying: "Come on again, come on again, it's so comfortable!"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  When Wen Baiyu arrived home, she felt that something was wrong with her. The trunk had been making strange noises all along, and Wen Baiyu seemed to be hallucinating. She was mentally and physically exhausted.

  As soon as they entered Beijing, Wan Xi Jing Hou's expression quickly became unsightly again, and he began to be distracted, sometimes staring out the window, and sometimes at the bronze box in his backpack.

  They already have two bronze boxes. The lock doesn't seem to be a single lock, but the nine-life key is a multi-functional key that looks like it should be used for opening boxes.

  Wen Baiyu and they arrived home, Tang Zi prepared to send Yu Wei Yang back.

  They got off the car, Huashe could transform into a perfect human form, his figure was very tall and majestic, Xiezhu looked only up to his chest.

  Everyone took the elevator upstairs. Wen Baiyu opened the door with a key and as soon as it was open, they heard a "meow" sound. Jiuling's fur stood on end and he jumped onto Donghai's head, shouting wildly: "Snake!!! Damn it! There's a snake!!"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that from now on, every day would be very beautiful...

  As soon as they entered the house, Wan Qi Jing Hou found the key brought by Jiu Ming, and it was placed on the bedside table in Wen Bai Yu's bedroom.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou took out the bronze box, and the key was inserted in one go. With a light twist, the box opened immediately.

  Wen Bai stretched his neck to look inside, where there was a bronze ornament, and underneath it was padded with a piece of golden silk.

  The bronze ornament is very strange, it seems to be a leftover, not complete at all, looks like a snake, also like a dragon, but only has a tail, even if you say it's a centipede with white feathers, I would believe it.

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "What is this?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "This is the ninth Yin of the candle, this section is the tail."

  Wen Baiyu nodded, then looked at the golden silk below, which was carefully brought out by Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou unfolded the golden scroll, but Wen Bai Yu couldn't understand it at all.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou quickly scanned the text above, suddenly an incredulous expression appeared in his eyes, followed by shock.

  Wen Baiyu had never seen him with such a drastic change in expression. Even when Wan Kuang Jing Hou smiled, it was only a faint smile, and he would never show such a shocked expression.

  Wen Baiyu was even more surprised, unfortunately he couldn't understand it. Wen Baiyu said: "What is written on this?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou came back to his senses from the shock, then looked at Wen Bai Yu. His eyes were extremely complicated, but he didn't answer Wen Bai Yu's question. Instead, after looking at Wen Bai Yu, he continued to look at Jin Bo, his fingers tightly gripping Jin Bo as if restraining something.

  Wen Baiyu really couldn't understand what Wan Qi Jinghou was doing, so she sat on the bed, propping up her cheek to watch him in a daze.

  About half a slant later, Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly took out another bronze box, twisted the key, changed its shape, and opened the other bronze box. His movements were extremely familiar, and the key could be twisted into countless shapes, but Wan Qi Jing Hou surprisingly twisted it correctly in one go, as if he had done it countless times before.

  The bronze box opened with a "click", and inside was also a bronze ornament, with a golden silk cloth at the bottom.

  This bronze statue is a head, should be the head of Jiu Yin, with half-closed eyes and a fierce expression, sharp teeth exposed in its mouth, looking very majestic.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou did not look at Zhuo Jiu Yin, but instead took out the golden silk and opened it with both hands trembling slightly.

  Wen Baiyu was exhausted all the way, and Wan Jingshou stared at another golden silk in a daze. Wen Baiyu couldn't understand a single word, and his eyelids gradually drooped, so he fell asleep directly on the bed.

  Wan Kuang looked for a long time, his breathing was a bit unstable.

  Wen Baiyu felt a little dizzy and saw someone touching his face. The person's hand was very cool, like it had just been taken out of the refrigerator. Although it was cool, it made Wen Baiyu feel at ease. This feeling was very familiar, it was Wan Jingshou.

  Wen Baiyu faintly heard someone speaking in his ear...

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at Wen Bai Yu with a complex expression, his eyes were red-rimmed as he smiled bitterly and said: "I was really too foolish... still thinking of taming the divine bird, I never thought that if you weren't willing, how could I have obtained the phoenix bone with just one sentence..."

  He said, his hand gently placed on Wen Baiyu's left shoulder, stroking the scars under her clothes, and smiled: "It's not just me who is foolish, why do you want to die with me? Do you know how determined I was to let you go... Baiyu."

  Wen Baiyu slept dazedly and heard the sound outside. When she opened her eyes, she was still a bit disoriented. She found herself already changed into pajamas and snuggled in Wang Qishan's arms.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou seemed not to have fallen asleep. Seeing that he was awake, he said, "It's still not daylight, sleep a bit more."

  Wen Baiyu nodded her head, looking very obedient, and then closed her eyes.

  Xi Chi returned in the middle of the night, looking anxious, and ran over to knock on Wen Baiyu's door with a loud "thud thud thud".

  Wen Baiyu was woken up and said, "Knock so urgently."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Nothing, I'll go take a look, you sleep."

  He said and turned over to get out of bed, went to open the door.

  Xī Chí still thought it was Wēn Bái Yǔ who came out of the door and said: "Wēn Bái Yǔ I found a big..."

  He blinked his eyes and took a look, and it was actually Wan Qi Jing Hou who came out of the warm white feather bedroom!

  Moreover, Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't wear his upper garment...

  Xie Chi looked inside and saw that it was dark in there, Wen Baiyu seemed to be sleeping soundly.

  Xī Chí coughed and said: "That... Wēn Bái Yǔ if she's too tired, it's the same as telling you..."

  He said with a look of excitement, "I heard that there's an auction in a few days, and one of the items is an unearthed antique related to the Xiang Wang tomb. I managed to get an invitation, let's go take a look when the time comes. This time, the attendees will all be big shots..."

  He hadn't finished speaking when Wan Jie Jing Hou interrupted him and said, "I'm not going with Wen Bai Yu."

  Xie Chi was shocked and said: "Not going? Didn't you always want to find Xiang Wang's tomb?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyes were very cold and he said, "I don't want to look for it now."

  He finished speaking and closed the door, Xi Chi felt a bit strange and didn't understand what Wan Jie Jing Hou meant.

  Wen Baiyu slept well that night and went to a small restaurant early the next morning.

  Tangzi has arrived and is unloading goods. It's just past eight o'clock. Yu Wei Yang rushed in, saying "Look!"

  He said, holding an invitation in his hand. Tang Zi opened it and took a look, saying: "No wonder Boss Yu is so happy, this auction seems to be very promising."

  Yu Wei Yang nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, maybe we can find a clue to the tomb of King Xiang."

  Wen Baiyu walked over and said, "Looks pretty good."

  Yu Wei Yang smiled and said: "That's natural, this is the highest-end auction, those who can go are all big shots, and have a reputation in the Taoist community. Ah, didn't your family's Wan Qi Jing Hou also receive an invitation?"

  Wen Baiyu hastily turned her head to look at Wan Qi Jing Hou, who was wiping the table and seemed not to have heard their conversation.

  Wen Baiyu looked from behind, couldn't help but think that even wiping the table was so elegant and had such a strong presence...

  Wen Baiyu said: "Shall we go too?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's movements paused for a moment, saying: "Not going."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Not going?! But there will be clues about the tomb of King Xiang, you're not..."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "These are just tricks, there's nothing to go for."

  Wen Baiyu seemed somewhat disappointed and said, "Is it just a publicity stunt?"

  The snake had transformed into a human figure and was helping out at the small restaurant. After listening to them finish speaking, he walked over to Wang Qi Jing Hou's side and said faintly, "It seems that Your Excellency has already seen the things inside the bronze box."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou did not look at him, he just slightly nodded his head.

  Huaxi said: "Mr. Baiyu is now just a primordial infant, his body is still in the grave, won't the emperor look for the grave again?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "Now I'm getting along well with Bai Yu, I don't want him to recall those unpleasant things."

  The snake-like man suddenly revealed a hint of a smile, but he seemed unaccustomed to smiling, looking rather eerie. He said in a light tone: "Back then, the lord heard that there was a wild beast causing trouble by the water's edge, and the sea swallowing up the village, so he personally led his troops over. Without saying a word, he cut out the left eye of the blind general. The lord has always believed in ruling with an iron fist, but now...now he seems to have changed...he's become more humane."

  He said, pausing for a moment before continuing: "But I think that many things are either happy or unhappy, only the person involved has the right to express their opinion... Moreover, Mr. Bai Yu is now a Yuan Ying, but his body is mortal, and one day his mortal body will not be able to withstand his own power, have you considered this?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly turned his head and looked at him, the snake seemed to be recalling, narrowed his eyes and said: "The master is the first person that this humble general admires, and Mr. Bai Yu is the second, this humble general is just a beast and doesn't understand these things, but why would Mr. Bai Yu really think that past events are unpleasant and yet choose to accompany the master?"

  Huaxi said no more after finishing speaking and looked at Wen Baiyu who was not far away.

  Wen Baiyu's expression was very dejected, if he had ears they would definitely be drooping, and he said to Yu Yang: "Forget it, you guys go instead. Wan Kuang Jing Hou said this is probably just a ruse, he's not going."

  Yu Wei Yang said: "If you don't go, then just come with us."

  Wen Baiyu's expression was tangled, and he said, "I'm still not going."

  Yu Wei Yang raised an eyebrow and said, "You guys are really inseparable."

  Wen Baiyu was about to speak when someone patted him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw it was Wan Kuangjinghou.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou lowered his head and looked at him, saying: "You want to go like this?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Of course, I've never been to an auction before, although I don't have the money to buy anything..."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said, "Give me a kiss, and we'll go. What do you think?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Yu Wei Yang coughed and said, "That thing... it's settled then. I'll come find you guys the day after tomorrow and we can go together. I'm heading back first, still got work today."

  Tangzi smiled and said, "The goods have arrived safely, I'll send Yu Boss back."

  He said and walked out of the small restaurant with Yu Wei Yang, and the two people took the opportunity to escape.

  Wen Baiyu rolled her eyes and said, "Do you have two invitations?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said, "None."

  Wen Baiyu glared and said: "Without you, there would still be..."

  His words were cut off here, and suddenly he lowered his head, lightly kissing Wen Baiyu's lips, saying, "You can bring a female companion."

  The white-haired girl blinked twice before reacting, suddenly exploding in anger and saying: "Your girlfriend's father!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Then bring your family members, all are the same."

  It is said that all the big shots attending the auction must wear formal attire, otherwise they will not be allowed in.

  Wen Baiyu didn't have a suit at all, so he had to go shopping with Wan Qi Jinghou. When they saw the price of Western suits, Wen Baiyu suddenly didn't want to attend the auction anymore!

  Wan Jie Jing Hou put on his clothes and didn't look thin at all. Wen Bai Yu's eyes widened as she took in the sight of his straight long legs, his inverted golden ratio, and his broad shoulders that gave off a very reassuring feeling. Most importantly, his face - normally, Wan Jie Jing Hou seemed to not care about his appearance, dressing sloppily, but now that he was dressed up in a suit and had styled his hair, Wen Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat as she looked at him, feeling like she was going to die from the sight.

  Wen Baiyu really wanted to rush over and touch his chest muscles, then slap Wang Qi Jing Hou's butt.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou glanced at the mirror and saw Wen Bai Yu staring at him with a sly expression behind his back. He turned around, and Wen Bai Yu quickly coughed awkwardly, looking away.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and walked over, saying: "Can I still wear it like this?"

  Wen Baiyu deliberately clicked his tongue and said, "So-so."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou chuckled and wrapped his hand around Wen Bai Yu's waist, then slipped it under his shirt, saying, "But you look great dressed like this."

  Wen Baiyu's face suddenly turned red, she took two steps back and said: "You, you'd better not mess around, if the clothes get wrinkled, you're done for."

  The auction started at ten o'clock, and they were ready to leave at nine. As soon as Wen Baiyu opened the bedroom door, he saw Xie Shou standing outside.

  Her eyes almost popped out, Wen Baiyu said: "You... what's with this getup?!"

  The beast wore a little skirt and looked especially pure and lovely. He smiled and said, "Doesn't it look good? The snake said I'm especially cute like this!"

  Silent White Feather: “……”

  Wen Baiyu really wanted to know if the rabbit she raised had hit its head on a wooden stake, otherwise why would it wear a skirt?

  The auction was held in a high-end VIP club, and Wen Baiyu had never seen what the club looked like in his life. This time, he finally got to see it, and it was resplendent with gold and jade everywhere.

  The teahouse is a very famous place on the road, and many people who like to gather information often come here to have a cup of tea.

  The ancient building has a nostalgic flavor, as soon as you enter the door, it's like flowing water. After everyone shows their invitation cards, someone will lead them inside.

  Wen Baiyu and they were just about to go inside when they saw a luxury car parked at the entrance. The car door opened and out came a man dressed in an extremely flashy outfit - a silver-gray suit, his hair carefully styled and slicked back, with a slender waist and long legs, and even wearing a pair of brown sunglasses.

  The man took off his sunglasses and smiled, saying: "Oh, Wen Baiyu."

  Gluttony...

  As soon as he appeared, the manager of the club came out to greet him with a smile and said, "Mr. Long."

  He patted his pocket and said, "Oh no, I forgot the invitation."

  The manager hastily said: "No problem no problem, Mr. Long please come in, please come in."

  Yu Dian chuckled and at this time the passenger door of the luxury car also opened. Shi Xu got out from inside. The manager looked over and said, "Mr. Shi, please come this way, quick, please enter."

  Wēn Bái Yǔ: “……”

  Translation:

  Wen Baiyu: “......”

  Wen Baiyu finally knew what Oufu's psychology was like.

  They walked in together, thanks to Mr. Long's good fortune, and ended up in a small private room on the second floor, which was extremely quiet and filled with wealthy people from the Taoist community.

  Shi Xu smiled and said to them: "You guys are here too, I knew it, we should have all come together."

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said, "We came by bus!"

  It's been a few days since everyone has seen each other, and before the auction even started, they sat together chatting.

  Yu Wei Yang said, "There are still quite a lot of people here today."

  Shi Xu smiled and said, "Because the things being auctioned are generally very rare."

  Wen Baiyu said: "What is rarely seen? Isn't it just bottles and jars? What else can there be?"

  Shi Xue smiled mysteriously and said, "It seems that you haven't done your homework well. The lowest-priced exhibit at this auction is a corpse."

  Wen Baiyu was suddenly frightened and his back hair stood on end. He said, "A corpse?! Oh no, it can't be Zongzi!"

  Shi Xu shrugged and said, "I don't know about that, but since it can be transported here for auction, I guess it won't come back to life."

  They were talking when someone suddenly knocked on the door. Wen Baiyu thought it was a waiter bringing tea and opened the door to find a woman dressed in very luxurious clothes.

  The woman didn't look at Wen Baiyu, but instead her gaze passed over the crowd and fixed on Mo Jiao's Wan Qi Jing Hou, who was sitting in the distance. She smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Wan Qi has indeed arrived. It's been a long time since we last met. May I invite Mr. Wan Qi to have a cup of tea with me alone?"

  Wen Baiyu stood by the door, her eyes gleaming with a sinister light as she sized up Wang Jiehou. This woman's gaze was too obvious, and she had even invited Wang Jiehou to drink alone - did she think he was dead?!

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said lightly, "Sorry, we still have something to discuss, it's not convenient."

  The woman didn't feel embarrassed either, smiling and saying: "I'm just in the next private room, Mr. Wanxi is welcome to come over and sit down anytime he's free."

  The woman left quickly, and Wen Baiyu sat down with an unpleasant expression.

  Shi Xu smiled and said, "Just now on the road, there was a very famous Miss Chen. Her family is particularly wealthy and has collected many good things."

  He said, looking at Wen Baiyu again, "We have been favoring Mr. Wan for a long time."

  Wen Baihe let out a low hum and then reached under the table with her hand, preparing to secretly pinch Wang Qi Jing Hou.

  Just as his hand was about to reach out, it was caught by Wan Qi Jing Hou, as if his eyeballs were growing under the table.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou gently pinched Wen Bai Yu's fingertips, then used his fingertips to scratch the palm of his hand, making Wen Bai Yu very uncomfortable, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

  The auction will start soon, the main event is at the end, and the front is a few high-end bottles and jars, including Yuan Qinghua. Because many people have come, Yuan Qinghua has been speculated to be worth a sky-high price, the atmosphere is particularly exciting.

  Wen Baiyu looked down from above and couldn't help but purse her lips, saying: "These people are too rich, if I had a few billion, I'd probably have no idea how to spend it."

  The last exhibit soon appeared, and as expected, it was indeed a corpse.

  A well-preserved corpse unearthed from Western Hunan, with visible skin and hair, but slightly dehydrated, looking shriveled. It was the body of a child about one or two years old, placed in a copper coffin that looked like a large jar, strangely shaped and awkwardly proportioned.

  Wen Baiyu took one look and immediately felt like vomiting. The tea she had just drunk was churning in her stomach. She said, "My god, this kind of thing is being auctioned off? Will anyone actually buy it?"

  He had just finished speaking when someone bid 10 million!

  Wan Qi Jing Hou saw it and didn't say a word, he just frowned, seemingly carefully examining the exhibit.

  "What's wrong? Is there something strange?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou did not speak, Tang Zi had already spoken up and said: "This is not a bronze coffin, it's a wine jar."

  Wen Baiyu's whole body shook, and he said: "A wine jar?!"

  Tangzi nodded and said: "In ancient times, some tribes should have been extinct by now, or perhaps they were just legendary tribes. They would soak a one-year-old child in a wine jar and bury it with the deceased. The wine would absorb the yin energy in the tomb, and it's said that when you dig it up and drink it, you can regain your youth."

  Wen Baiyu felt nauseous and almost threw up, saying: "Who would drink this kind of thing? Just looking at it makes me feel sick!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou still lowered his head to look at the exhibits on the display platform, frowning and saying: "The pattern on this wine jar is exactly the same as the other two bronze boxes."

  Wen Baiyu looked down immediately after he said that, and indeed the patterns were similar. He was surprised and asked, "Is there a connection between these two things?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "I don't know."

  They were talking when someone else called out a price again. The final transaction price of this exhibit was much higher than that of Yuan Qinghua's, and the buyer turned out to be Miss Chen from next door.

  Wen Baiyu clicked her tongue and said, "This Miss Chen is quite bold, putting something like this in her home, I wonder what she's thinking."

  Yu Wenyang said: "Is that third bronze box right at the excavation site of the copper coffin?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "The scope of Xiangxi is too large."

  Shi Xu smiled and said, "This won't stump me, I can go ask around."

  He quickly told Wen Baiyu about it and called her the next day.

  Shi Xu laughed and said: "I heard that the strange thing was unearthed near Wuxi."

  Wen Baiyu said: "What place is Wuxi?"

  Shi Xuyu said: "Wuxi is the intersection of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Hubei provinces. Most importantly, Wuxi belonged to the Wu-Xian State during the pre-Qin period."

  Wen Baiyu listened more and more confused, Shi Xu said that he didn't listen much, but after a while, he would tell Wan Kui Jinghou and he should understand.

  Shi Xu said again: "Do you know why I can hear it so quickly?"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said, "Because you're very capable."

  Shi Xu laughed and said, "Hey, sister-in-law, don't flatter me, if Wan Kuang hears about it, he'll be so jealous that he'll skin me alive."

  "What's the reason?"

  Shi Xue's voice became serious and said: "Because someone deliberately leaked the news, and I found out that the seller of this bronze coffin is actually Miss Chen."

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback for a moment and said, "Huh? She's selling it herself and buying it herself?"

  Shi Xue said: "It should be like this, and the person who revealed the message should be Miss Chen."

  "What's her goal then?"

  Shi Xun said: "This purpose is too simple. This auction has such a huge momentum, and it's also using the gimmick of the Marquis of Xiang's tomb. In fact, there is no clue about the Marquis of Xiang's tomb at all. Instead, a mysterious bronze coffin was thrown out, and many people will definitely ask about this bronze coffin. Finally, they will find that the place where the bronze coffin was unearthed is actually the mysterious birthplace of Shu culture. The biggest weakness of this line of work is curiosity. Think about it, there will definitely be people rushing to Wuxi one after another."

  Wen Baiyu was even more puzzled and said, "What is Miss Chen really thinking?"

  "Perhaps there's some mystery to that place that they can't solve on their own. After all, the ones attending the auction are all big shots, so if one or two of them go take a look, I reckon the mystery will be solved."

  Wen Baiyu was said to be curious to death, and indeed curiosity is a big weakness.

  He hung up the phone, and Wan Qi Jing Hou walked over and said, "Whose call was that, talking for so long?"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "Shi Xu's, he got wind of the news!"

  Wen Baiyu told Wan Jijinghou about it and then said, "What is this Wu Xian country after all?"

  Mo Jinghou said: "Wu Xian was a person who was appointed as a good minister by Emperor Yao in ancient times, and the place where Wu Xian lived was also named after him as Wu Xian State. According to ancient books, 'he used his great skills to serve as a doctor for Emperor Yao, able to bless people with good fortune, cure illnesses, make withered trees flourish again, and make fallen birds fly again.' Wu Xian initiated the culture of witchcraft, which also influenced later schools of thought such as yin-yang theory and Zhuang-Lao philosophy."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Isn't that very fierce?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "Not only is it formidable, but also mysterious. Due to the era being too far away, it's not convenient for preservation, and there are few written records. The witch culture has already fallen into a state of loss, and some dark magic has gradually evolved."

  Wen Baiyu said: "That using Xiaoyu to brew wine, isn't that black magic? It looks too disgusting, so inhumane."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "I don't understand witch culture."

  Wen Bai Yu said in surprise: "Is there something else you don't understand?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said, "I am not a god."

  Wen Baiyu listened and became even more anxious, saying: "You say that Miss Chen has some ulterior motive, maybe there are many secrets in Wuxi. I've heard that Xiangxi is very mysterious, and there are even people who drive corpses."

  Wen Baiyu was speaking when the phone rang again. It was Yu Wei Yang calling. He had also heard about Wu Xi and wanted to go take a look.

  Wen Baiyu said to Wan Kuangjinghou: "Yu Laoban wants to go to Wuxi, he says it's not certain if we can find any witch culture, the ancient medical skills can cure Tangzi, we'll set off in a few days."

  He finished speaking and looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou with hopeful eyes.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou raised an eyebrow and said, "You want to go?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded immediately.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "The witch culture has been lost for so long, going might be dangerous."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Then we can't let Boss Yu go alone!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and suddenly leaned in, saying: "You really want to go?"

  Wen Baiyu hastily retreated a few steps back and said, "Aren't you just spouting nonsense!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "Then kiss me once, let me think about it."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu felt that Wan Kuangjing's sulking had reached an unprecedented level, almost bursting out of the earth!

  Wen Baiyu gritted her teeth and said, "You don't have to go, I'll go with Yu Boss, Tangzi will definitely go too."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "If I don't go, won't you miss me?"

  Wen Baiyu listened to Wan Kuang Jinghou's voice and suddenly got goosebumps all over her body, her bones were about to melt, her ears were burning as if they were going to kill her. She thought that having a handsome face was indeed a privilege in this evil society that judged people by their looks. She said: "Who, who misses you? Get out, get out..."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't mind, stretched out his hand to hold her waist, his voice was very low, his eyes fixed on Wen Bai Yu, saying: "I will miss you, I always want you to stay by my side, one second without seeing you, I will be anxious, don't worry, from now on, wherever you want to go, I'll accompany you."

  Wen Baiyu felt like her head was going to explode with a "poof" sound and smoke coming out. Wan Qi Jing Hou was originally handsome, and when he spoke in a gentle voice, coupled with his serious and focused eyes, and added a few sweet words, she couldn't help but blush.

  Wen Baiyu's heart shouted a sentence "Damn it!", he thought to himself that he was going to die. Just as Wan Qi Jing Hou finished speaking, he lowered his body and kissed his own lips.

  Wen Baiyu was actually trembling with excitement and didn't dare to push him away. This "beautiful man" tactic was too successful, Wen Baiyu felt himself getting more and more into it. He stretched out his hand in a cowardly manner and tightly hugged Wang Qi Jing Hou's waist.

  Wen Baiyu was kissed and suddenly felt a thrill, then a flash of inspiration in her mind, followed by a surge of boldness, she suddenly reached out to lift the back of Wan Jingsheng's clothes, then her palm slipped inside, mimicking Wan Jingsheng's previous actions, caressing his waist.

  The feel of it is not to be mentioned, Wen Baiyu was so excited that she almost trembled, Wan Kuang Jing Hou's lower back muscles were smooth and flowing, hard but also had elasticity, really wanted to pinch a few times.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou was taken aback for a moment, clearly not expecting Wen Bai Yu to be so "enthusiastic". Then, with a loud "crash", Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly pressed his body forward, pinning the person against the counter and sweeping away a bunch of things.

  "Ah yo ma de!"

  Wen Baiyu's waist was pressed against the wall, and Wan Jingshou was like a wild beast, breathing heavily, fiercely kissing his lips. Wen Baiyu immediately became excited, trying to tighten his legs to cover up his embarrassment, with only four words left in his heart: "self-inflicted suffering"!

  At this moment, the door of the small restaurant was pushed open. It was just over 8 o'clock in the morning, and Wen Baiyu's restaurant did not serve breakfast. Even Tangzi wouldn't come at this hour, and Tangzi had just gone out to buy groceries, so it definitely wasn't him who came in.

  Wen Baiyu was startled and looked up to see a strange woman, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was Chen Xiaojie, whom she had just met yesterday.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou was still pressing down on Wen Bai Yu, kissing the corner of his mouth. Wen Bai Yu quickly pushed him away, saying: "There's... someone... Ah, shh—why did you bite me!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou did not get up, but instead stretched out his hand to touch his waist and said, "Focus."

  Miss Chen was also startled when she came in. She didn't expect that Wan Qi Jing Hou and Wen Bai Yu were in such a relationship. Her face suddenly became awkward, disappointed, and contemptuous. She opened her mouth and said: "Mr. Wan Qi, can I have a few words with you alone?"

  It's that damn word "alone" again! Why does Wen Baiyu dislike these two words so much?

  Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't get up and said in a toneless voice, "Sorry, I'm busy."

  Very busy...

  Wen Baiyu felt that her entire life's innocence had been ruined, ever since she met Wan Kuang Jing Hou, she no longer had any innocence to speak of...

  Wen Baiyu really wants to bang his head against a wall and die.

  Miss Chen's face stiffened, and she immediately turned her head in anger and walked out of the small restaurant, slamming the door shut with a "bang".

  Wen Baiyu pushed away Wan Jingshou and said, "Go quickly and see if my door is broken or not."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said, "It's ruined, let her compensate."

  Silent White Feather: “……”

  Three days later, Yu Wei Yang was ready to set off. The team's lineup was very impressive, as in addition to Wen Bai Yu, Wan Xi Jing Hou and Tang Zi, there were also Hua She and E Bei Shou.

  The beast cried and hugged Wen Baiyu, saying: "Master, you must take me with you! Otherwise, I won't be at ease with you and Bao Jun going together! You will definitely suffer a loss!"

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but think of what the fake beast and the snake were doing in the trunk on their way back from Snake Mountain, a strange expression appearing on his face.

  Yu Wei Yang said: "This time I rented a car with more seats, which can hold a lot of luggage. It's convenient to bring them along and it's also easier with more people."

  Wen Baiyu thought to herself, "Which eye of yours saw more people? The demonic beast and the serpent are not human from head to toe!"

  Although there are more people, only Tang Zi and Yu Wei Yang can drive.

  The car is very large, with two rows of seats in the back, four seats are opposite each other, and there are also two additional seats that can be folded up, making a total of six seats.

  Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou sat on one side, the beast as soon as it got on the carriage was very vigilant and stared at Wan Qi Jinghou, although it had a human form, it was still hanging on Wen Baiyu's body.

  The beast pointed at Wen Baiyu's neck and said: "Master, master, you actually have a red mark here, was it done by the tyrant?"

  Wen Baiyu: “......”

  The beast stretched out its hand and pulled down Wen Baiyu's collar, revealing a large red mole under his hair, and there was another one below the collar. Suddenly, the rabbit's ears stood up, and it reached out to unbutton Wen Baiyu's clothes, saying: "There is also one inside!"

  Wen Baiyu was suddenly flustered and disheveled. He was still wearing a single layer of clothing, and if he unbuttoned it, he would be naked underneath. He wasn't an exhibitionist.

  Wan Kuang's face looked very unsightly. The snake demon sitting opposite him had a keen eye and immediately said, "Come over."

  The beast's ears shook slightly, its small nose twitched, and it looked back at the transformed snake. Then, it glanced at Wen Baiyu before decisively abandoning him. With a "thud", it jumped onto Hua She's body, straddling his legs with its own, and wrapped its arms around his neck.

  Wen Baiyu's whole body shook, this is not a rabbit, it's clearly a small dog, with just one wave of his hand, he was gone, and couldn't be any more disobedient.

  The extent of the beast's shamelessness on the way was almost making Wen Baiyu speechless. It seemed that Wan Qi Jing Hou was far from enough. The beast always entwined with Hua She, and Hua She had an unchanging icy face, while the beast acted like a spoiled child, asking him to kiss himself. If Hua She really kissed him once, the beast's rabbit ears would almost be twisted together in excitement, making Wen Baiyu unable to bear watching...

  Wen Baiyu didn't remember how many times she had vomited. Tangzi looked out the window and said, "We've already entered the territory of Xiangxi. It looks like it's going to be dark soon, close all the windows."

  Although it's autumn, but not opening the window is still a bit stuffy, especially when Wen Baiyu is about to die, saying: "Why do you want to close the window?"

  Tangzi laughed and said: "Because this side is a mountainous area, it seems that there is still a long way to go. Tonight, we won't be able to get through. In Western Hunan, there are corpse drivers. You'd better keep your window closed, or the corpses might stick their tongues out at you."

  Wen Baiyu laughed and said, "So mysterious? Is it true or false?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I have seen a corpse being rushed once."

  Wen Baiyu's curiosity was suddenly piqued, and he asked, "Really? What does it look like?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "Escorting corpses is a type of Mao Shan technique. Generally, the person escorting the corpse will hurry the corpse of someone who died in a foreign land back to their hometown for burial. Almost no one escorts corpses during the day, firstly because the yang energy is too strong and the corpse may rot, secondly they are also afraid of startling passersby. The person escorting the corpse will wear copper bells, use grass ropes to tie up the corpse, and stick a yellow talisman on their forehead."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Then, in this desolate mountain and wild ridge, will there be a hearse?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "This is hard to say."

  Tangzi said: "It's just evening, it shouldn't be this early, usually it's midnight."

  He had just finished speaking when a string of tinkling sounds came from afar, somewhat like copper bells and somewhat like wind chimes. The sound was light and airy, very ethereal, with a hint of illusion and mystery, sending shivers down the listener's spine.

  Wen Baiyu immediately closed the window and said, "What's going on? This isn't the right voice!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded.

  The beast was also startled and immediately tightly hugged the python, saying: "I'm most afraid of ghosts!"

  Wen Baiyu looked at him with his tail and little butt twisting around, thinking to himself, aren't you the one who likes to take advantage of the snake's weakness? You're an ancient spiritual beast, what are you afraid of?!

  The car moved forward a little further, and the bell sound could be heard clearly even through the window.

  Ding ding ding......

  Ding-dong, ding-dong...

  Wen Baiyu's skin crawled as he listened, and he saw a line of dark shadows slowly moving outside the window.

  No, it's crawling...

  Six or seven people were crawling on the ground, wearing uniform white clothes, with high white fur hats on their heads, their faces as pale as one another, their feet stiffly crawling on the ground, each person connected by a grass rope, crawling forward one by one.

  The person in the front was standing upright, holding a bell in his hand, making a "ding-dong" sound. The shape of the bell was very strange and not like any ordinary one of its kind. It looked more like a snake's head, with its mouth wide open, forming the shape of the bell.

  Ding... ding...

  The ethereal sound rose with the wind, growing louder and louder.

  Wen Baiyu even felt that his voice had a hypnotic effect, and a wave of uneasy strangeness surged up from the bottom of her heart.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is this really a hearse? It feels kind of strange?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The corpse cannot be viewed."

  Wen Baiyu hastily nodded and said: "Oh."

  He turned his head around, at this moment a strong wind suddenly blew up, even though they closed the windows, they could still hear the howling sound of the wind, like a ghost crying in the night, humming and whistling, as if it was going to blow into the car through the gaps between the doors and windows.

  "Ahhh!!"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly let out a loud cry, pointing in the direction of the beast, his face turning pale in an instant.

  The beast was frightened by his sudden loud call and said, "Don't shout suddenly, you scared me to death..."

  Because Wen Baiyu's face was too fearful, the beast also turned its head to look at the window he pointed at. Before it could finish speaking, it let out a loud "Ahhh!!" and tightly hugged Zhuang She's neck, shouting: "Face! Face!! There's a ghostly face stuck on the glass!!"

  It's no wonder that Wen Baiyu and Xie Shou were scared to death. All they saw was a pale face with a greenish tint tightly pressed against their glass window. The face had already lost its moisture, yet it stuck tightly to the glass, leaving an imprint immediately.

  That face stared with wide eyes, full of greed in his eyes, mouth agape, as if wanting to bite through the glass and stick his head in.

  To know their car was moving, but that face was stuck firmly on the glass.

  Yu Wei Yang was driving when he got a fright, causing the steering wheel to shake violently. The car swerved rapidly and in an instant, his face had been shaken off.

  Wen Baiyu let out a breath of relief and no longer felt carsick, saying "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

  Tang Zizhi sat up and looked back, saying: "This is not good, this is not a hearse."

  "What's the hurry about?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou's face also turned gloomy, and Wen Bai Yu saw Wan Jie Jing Hou's expression, knowing that this matter was serious. He also turned his head to look out the rear window, and as soon as he did, he was frightened out of his wits!

  Those six or seven crawling corpses were tailing behind their car, chasing after them with all fours, running wildly, and each of their eyes shot out greedy rays of light, as if they had caught sight of a delicious treat.

  Wen Baiyu was so frightened that she shouted loudly, "Quickly! Quickly! They're catching up!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "This is not a corpse chase, but black magic, specializing in picking up the bodies of guests who died in a foreign land and cannot be buried to drive them."

  Yu Wei Yang felt that his hands were sweating while holding the steering wheel and said: "What... what to do! The accelerator is about to be pressed through!"

  He had just finished speaking when suddenly a "bang" was heard, and then the car shook violently. Something fell on their car roof.

  Yu Wei Yang wanted to say something, but just then a black shadow suddenly dropped down from the front windshield, blocking his line of sight.

  A person's face was stuck to the front windshield, and then a withered hand stretched out, "Bang! Bang!" making a great effort to pound on the glass.

  A bloodstain quickly appeared on the glass, which was slightly cracked from being smashed.

  Yu Wei Yang was so scared that he wanted to close his eyes, but his hands were on the steering wheel and he didn't dare close them. He could only take deep breaths, tightly gripping the steering wheel to steady himself, and said, "What should I do!"

  Because the corpses were tied together with special grass ropes, one corpse jumped onto the cart, and soon the rest of the corpses also jumped onto the cart, making the cart move even faster.

  "Boom!"

  "Boom!"

  "Bang! Bang!"

  The rear car door was wildly pulled, with a dry corpse poking its head out, and the dry hand grasped the door handle. The car door let out a strange creaking sound, as if it was about to be pulled open at any moment.

  "With a loud crash!" the car door was pulled open, and just as the corpse was about to rush in, Wan Jie Jing Hou quickly stretched out his hand. A faint "whooshing" sound was heard, followed by a pungent and nauseating odor. The corpse let out a sharp cry as its arm was chopped off by Wan Jie Jing Hou, causing it to tumble down from the carriage, dragging several other corpses with it.

  "Saved..."

  Yu Wei Yang also let out a sigh of relief, but he had just been stepping on the accelerator and didn't know east, south, west or north anymore. They had somehow charged headlong into a forest, seemingly deviating from their course.

  The rain poured down and he didn't dare to stop the car, so he gritted his teeth and drove into the woods, driving for a long time before finally stopping. It seemed that there was no sound behind him anymore, and it was eerily quiet.

  The forest was dense and dark, and it was nighttime. Fortunately, there were lights in the car. Yu Yang stretched out his hand to turn on the light, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm scared to death."

  Tang Zishan reached out and touched his palm, saying: "Boss Yu's palms are all cold, I'll drive."

  Yu Wei Yang's legs are now soft, he nodded and exchanged positions with Tang Zi, sitting in the front passenger seat.

  The little beast looked around and said, "Where are we now?"

  Yu Wei Yang shook his head indicating he didn't know, took out a map and looked at it for half a day, but still couldn't find any markings of a forest.

  The car slowly moved forward, and Wen Baiyu suddenly said, "Look."

  He said, pointing outside the window, where a large patch of leaves had fallen in the dimly lit woods, and vaguely visible on the ground was something protruding, with a sharp corner.

  He said that, and Tang Zi stopped the car. Yu Wei Yang said, "Huh? The pattern on this corner seems very familiar?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is it the pattern on the bronze box?"

  Yu Wei Yang took a closer look and said, "Let's go take a look, it's too far away."

  Tang Zi drove the car over, and everyone got out of the car. On the ground, there was indeed a horn, with the rest buried in the soil and invisible. However, the exposed pattern did resemble it.

  Tangzi squatted down, picked up a stone beside him, and easily dug open the soil. Indeed, it was a bronze box, and it wasn't buried very deep.

  Yu Wei Yang excitedly said: "So it's been found?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou squatted down, stretched out his hand to block them, and said, "This doesn't feel right."

  "What's wrong?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Xi Jinghou pointed to the box and said, "The color on this is obviously much darker than bronze. Even if it's been oxidized for a long time, the color shouldn't be so uniform."

  Wen Baiyu was indeed moved by his words and said, "Could it be that someone has lost a fake version here?"

  But then I thought, if someone threw a fake product into the deep mountains and old forests, it would be too boring.

  Wen Baiyu saw them studying the box and he couldn't help, so he stood up and took out his compass to see what direction they were in now.

  As soon as Wen Baiyu took it out, he fainted. Had the compass gone bad or was he having a seizure?

  Wen Baiyu suddenly shouted and said: "I know what this is!"

  He squatted down and handed over the compass for them to see, saying: "This thing is a magnet!"

  Yu Wei Yang took a look and quickly pulled out the folding shovel from his backpack. The shovel "slapped" onto it in an instant, and its magnetic properties were quite strong.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou furrowed his brow and said, "So it's a maze after all. Someone deliberately set this up here to make people who enter the forest lose their way."

  Wen Baiyu said: "What can we do now? We've already gotten lost."

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Take fire to burn it, magnet will lose its magnetism when encountering fire."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "I've been thinking about the black layer on this box all along, now I understand, it can't be burned with fire."

  "What is it after all?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly: "It's a worm jade."

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened as she said, "Ah, you mentioned last time that it secretes toxic fluids when exposed to high temperatures?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "The corrosiveness and adhesion of insect jade are very strong. The person who buried the box here must have considered that fire would be used to burn it, so they covered a thin layer of insect jade on the outside of the box."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Let's move further away, with just this one box, the magnetic field can't be too big, right? If we move far enough, we should be able to use a compass."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou then stood up, looked around and said: "This thing is placed here, obviously there is a reason for it. There must be something around that doesn't want to be discovered."

  Wen Baiyu also stood up and looked around, saying: "Is this a deliberate attempt to create confusion? Could it be what we're looking for?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly furrowed his brow and said, "Shh... someone's there."

  Wen Baiyu's back suddenly tensed up.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked up at the top and said, "Go up."

  He said, grabbing Wen Baiyu's back and putting it on his back, then taking Wen Baiyu to climb the tree. Wan Qi Jinghou's arm strength was amazing, and he easily climbed up the tree.

  Tang Zi also brought Yu Wei Yang to climb the tree, and it was even more effortless for the snake to climb the tree. The beast that had transformed into a snake wrapped its tail around the tree trunk and followed them up.

  Everyone hid behind the dense foliage to look down, and before long, two cars drove towards them, with over a dozen people getting out, including only one woman. Although she was wearing sunglasses, Wen Baiyu absolutely remembered her - it was Miss Chen.

  Miss Chen's people around her seem to be all thugs, very obedient to her words.

  One of the men said: "The wheel tracks stop here... Look, their cart is still here, but there's no one in sight?"

  As they spoke, several people walked over and checked their cars. Another person said, "The engine hood is still hot, the person can't be far away."

  Those people were analyzing their possible route, Wen Baiyu crouched on the tree looking down, thinking that these people had come to muddy the waters and fish for benefits.

  Just then, someone exclaimed, "Hey, Big Sister, there's a box here!"

  Miss Chen walked over to take a look and seemed to have discovered something. She suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, saying: "This is not good, it's a magnet! Light the fire and burn it!"

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened, thinking that it would be over with just one burn. He looked at Wan Qi Jinghou, who shook his head at him, indicating that the corrosive nature of the insect jade wouldn't reach that far.

  Wen Baiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  The people below quickly lit a fire and burned the box. The box seemed to be flammable, and with a "whoosh", flames erupted, accompanied by a large amount of black smoke.

  "Ahh!!!!"

  "Poisonous!!"

  "There is poison in the fog!"

  The people below cried out in horror, the person who lit the fire was close and was the first to be enveloped by the black smoke, instantly falling to the ground and rolling around in agony. Miss Chen was also startled and immediately retreated several steps, thudding onto the ground with a loud noise.

  The people beside him were also burned by the strong corrosive power of the black fog, covering their wounds and crying out in pain, making a rather pathetic scene.

  At this moment, Wen Baiyu saw a young man below, moving extremely quickly, pushing aside Miss Chen from behind and rushing up, picking up the shovel and scooping up the soil on the ground to cover it up.

  The corrosive power of the insect jade was very strong, but after all, it was just an insect, and as soon as it was covered with mud, it was instantly buried.

  The young man said, "Quickly rinse with cold water, there should be a mechanism here, everyone be careful."

  Wen Baiyu lowered his voice and said, "This guy looks pretty tough, seems to have two brushes."

  Miss Chen's voice seemed to have been startled and said, "This place is too terrible, let's go quickly."

  The young man said, "Isn't the young lady looking for Wu Mu's tomb? This place has a confusing and mysterious aura, it seems to be carefully planned. If I'm not mistaken, Wu Mu's tomb should be nearby, not too far away."

  Miss Chen said with a tone of uncertainty, "Are we going to set up camp here?"

  As soon as she finished speaking, everyone else also felt that there was no other way out. After all, the sky had already darkened and everyone needed to rest.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened as she watched the people below start to set up camp. She couldn't help but stare in surprise - were they going to spend the whole night on the tree? That would be too miserable.

  At this time, Wan Qi Jing Hou patted Wen Bai Yu and then pointed to the place behind him.

  They stood high and looked naturally comprehensive. Wen Baiyu glanced back and was suddenly surprised all over his face. Not far behind them was a canyon. Because it was too dark, Wen Baiyu couldn't see very clearly either.

  Wen Baiyu and they had everything important on their backs, so abandoning the car was no problem.

  The people below had already set up their tents, and someone was standing guard outside because they were afraid of the insect jade from earlier and didn't dare to light a fire. The rest of the people all went into the tent to rest.

  Among those who kept watch was that young man. Wen Baiyu saw that his waist was bulging and their equipment was so complete, they must have guns.

  Everyone waited for about half a moment, and then Wang Hou patted Wen Baiyu's shoulder again, signaling him to hold on tight, before silently sliding down the tree trunk.

  Wen Baiyu's heart was in his throat as they approached. The young man seemed to have heard something and suddenly stood up, putting his hand on his waist, immediately becoming highly vigilant.

  Wen Baiyu held her breath in her throat and didn't dare to breathe, thinking that the young man had discovered them.

  Just then, a "ding ling, ding ling ling..." sound was heard.

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, thinking it was all over!

  This voice is too familiar, just a while ago they were still chasing them closely, and because of this voice, the car door they rented was scrapped.

  Wen Baiyu tightly grasped Wan Jieying's hand, and Wan Jieying looked at him with a glance, then clasped his hand, pressed his lips, and signaled him not to make a sound.

  Wen Baiyu immediately nodded, her heart racing with excitement and tension. On one hand, she was nervous, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but feel a thrill at Wan Jingshou's bold move, which seemed almost too daring for such a tense moment.

  Everyone is being extremely cautious.

  "Ding ding ding......"

  "Ding ding... Ding ding..."

  "Ding ding ding......"

  The sound of the bell grew louder and echoed through the forest, followed by a low growl. The desiccated corpses had not yet appeared, but Wen Baiyu already heard their greedy and terrifying low growls.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou pointed behind him, indicating that everyone should head towards the canyon in the back. Everyone proceeded with caution, starting to move towards the canyon.

  Just then, a loud "whoosh" sound was heard, and something suddenly rushed out of the woods.

  The young man's hand probed at his waist and "bang!" fired a shot, which hit the dry corpse right on the forehead. The shot was both ruthless and accurate, and the dry corpse was no exception. As soon as it was shot, it fell to the ground with a "thud".

  The people in the camp were awakened by the sound of gunfire and rushed out one after another.

  At this time, a loud roar came from all directions, and six or seven dry corpses rushed over. Those people were busy grabbing their guns, and Miss Chen had just fallen asleep, but was frightened awake. As soon as she left the tent, she saw a blood-stained corpse face and couldn't help but scream "Ahhhhh".

  Someone shouted, "Light it up! Light it up! They're afraid of fire!"

  Before the young man could stop it, someone had already lit a fire. It seemed that many insect jade were hidden in the forest, and as soon as the fire started, a large patch of black smoke burst out, like a chain reaction...

  Wen Bai Yu's feet were swift and powerful as he ran, but his heart began to feel uneasy. This place was too eerie, it seemed that they had anticipated people would use compasses, and even set fires to magnetize the iron, then laid out a large number of insect jade.

  Wen Baiyu thought that if it weren't for Wan Kuanghou's obstruction, they would have been corroded into nothingness by the insect jade long ago.

  The crowd rushed forward and soon entered the canyon. They didn't dare to stay and walked very far into the canyon. Yu Wei Yang was a bit overexerted and couldn't move anymore.

  Tangzi said: "Let's take a break, Boss Yu's body is not very good."

  Wen Baiyu was also exhausted and quickly found a large stone to sit down on, saying: "My mom, it was too scary just now, I don't know if those corpses will come after us again."

  He said, panting heavily, the crowd had been tossing and turning all night, without even having time to eat dinner, they took out dry rations from their backpacks and gnawed on them.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Fortunately, we have all our important things on our backs. Otherwise, it would be terrible if we didn't have any food."

  Yu Wei Yang rested for a while and his strength slowly recovered. Just now he really felt tired even opening his mouth.

  Yu Wei Yang said: "This canyon looks so big, I don't know when we can get out."

  They ate something and started to feel drowsy. The weather was quite cool at night, and Yu Yang was afraid of the cold, shivering slightly.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Can we light a fire here?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and said, "There shouldn't be any insect jade left."

  Wen Bai Yu stood up and patted the dirt off his body. Seeing many broken branches less than five meters away from them, he walked over to pick them up to start a fire.

  But within five meters, it's really too close, and Wen Baiyu doesn't have any misgivings either.

  Wen Baiyu bent down to pick up a tree branch and heard a rustling sound.

  Wen Baiyu was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw nothing, wondering if she had just imagined it.

  He lowered his head again, reached out to pick up the branches, and after picking up a handful, he was about to leave when he heard a low growl of "Keng". Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, and he let out an "ah" cry.

  A pale-faced corpse suddenly jumped out and reached out to grab Wen Baiyu.

  At the same time, I heard two loud noises: "Bang!" and "Boom!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou reacted instantly, the dragon scale dagger shot out and pierced through the dry corpse's throat. The dry corpse crashed to the ground, its eyes wide open as it fell.

  A bullet was a step late because the dragon scale dagger's speed was too fast, and the corpse received too much force, so it fell to the ground very quickly. Although the bullet aimed at the corpse's forehead, in the instant that the corpse fell, the bullet stuck into the corpse and flew out, hitting the tree trunk behind its back.

  Wen Baiyu was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. He looked up and saw that the dragon-scale dagger was naturally thrown by Wan Qi Jing Hou. Where's the bullet...

  About ten steps away from him stood a man hiding in the darkness, his face unclear, holding a gun in his hand, and the bullet just now must have been fired by him.

  The figure in the darkness moved and slowly walked over. Wen Baiyu quickly hugged the branch and retreated to Wan Jingshou's side.

  Everyone's eyes widened as the young man with exceptional skills walked out of the darkness. If he didn't look a bit thinner and his eye tail didn't have that mole, Wen Baiyu would have thought he was Wan Kuang Jing Hou's mirror image!

  This young man looks at least 80% like Wang Jie Hou...
