Chapter 47: The Witch's Tomb in Western Hunan (Part 2)

  The child cart was injured, but ran extremely fast, and the action was also agile. Wan Jingshou's eyes were injured, which had some impact. Wen Baiyu and others chased after him fiercely, but couldn't catch up, always maintaining a distance.

  The little cart seems very familiar with the tomb passage, knowing where to run and where there are mechanisms.

  "Wen Baiyu ran while scolding, saying: 'Who is this kid after all? It's impossible that he's just Miss Chen's mercenary, right? Looks like there's another plan at play here.'"

  They ran, and then heard Wan Gui Jinghou shout "Be careful!"

  Everyone stopped instantly, and it seemed that the child in front had pressed something. Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound was heard, and a black fog rushed over.

  Wen Baiyu was so frightened that he shouted loudly: "Is it Zhu Yu!?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou turned his head and said, "It's not a bug jade. There is no high temperature here. Everyone cover their mouths and noses."

  Wen Baiyu quickly covered his mouth and nose with his clothes, and the black fog soon dispersed, nothing happened.

  But in this flash of lightning, the car had already disappeared from view.

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Let that little brat escape."

  The rabbit said: "Hey, he runs even faster than us rabbits."

  Everyone chased after the child's car, running forward, and didn't even know where they had run to. The little dumplings that were chasing them from behind also disappeared, probably having been shaken off along the way with all the twists and turns.

  Wen Baiyu stood still and looked around, the stone wall was still a mural, still a mural they couldn't understand.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This tomb is quite big, where are we running to?"

  He said, seeing a tomb not far in front of him, and the crowd cautiously walked in, finding that all kinds of gold and jewels were piled up inside. Even if they didn't light a fire, these gold and jewels still emitted a dazzling glow.

  Wen Baiyu was shocked and said: "So many treasures? Won't it be another trap?"

  As soon as he said it, everyone became vigilant.

  "Weird."

  Wen Baiyu said, "Is this tomb chamber coming to an end? But we haven't seen the main tomb chamber along the way."

  Tangzi said: "There should be an organ."

  He said, and on the other side, a strange beast suddenly let out a loud cry, saying: "Come and see!"

  Wen Baiyu hurried over and saw Xie Shou pointing at the stone floor, saying: "Look quickly!"

  A patch of blood on the stone floor, a word written in blood.

  Don't go forward anymore, take a shot at the south wall at the hour of Hai, and there will be a way out.

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Is this left by Zi Che? No one else would bleed so much except him."

  Yu Wenyang said: "What does he mean?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is it a reminder for us? Is there something even more formidable ahead? But why must we wait until the hour of Hai to activate the mechanism?"

  He said, distinguished a moment east, south, west and north, then stood in front of the wall on the south side, carefully looked at it, suddenly "ah" cried out, saying: "There is a stone here that is different from others."

  As soon as he said this, everyone gathered around and indeed saw that this stone was different, seemingly a mechanism that could be pressed down.

  Wen Baiyu said: "But why must it be at midnight? Is there a hourglass inside?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou suddenly said: "What time is it now?"

  Wen Baiyu glanced at his watch and said, "Eight forty-five."

  He finished speaking, and Wan Qi Jing Hou immediately stretched out his hand to gently touch the wall, seemingly searching for something. Suddenly, he furrowed his brow, looking very mysterious, and the crowd remained silent.

  Five minutes later, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly spoke up and said: "This tomb is rotating."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Rotating? Like the tomb of Jianmu River?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded and said: "The rotation speed of the tomb chamber is very slow, in another ten minutes, this wall connected to the tomb passage should be the exit that Zi Che mentioned."

  For a moment, everyone was in a dilemma. This place is really strange and abnormal. Whether to go out or continue to chase, it's not clear what other treasures there are here besides the wine that can make people return to their youth, which can make Miss Chen so excited.

  Everyone looked at their watches on their wrists without saying a word and started to get nervous. There were still seven minutes before 9 o'clock.

  Yu Wei Yang spoke first, saying: "What to do?"

  Wen Baiyu said, "Although the actions of this little car are puzzling, I think he doesn't have any malicious intentions. Otherwise, when we were at the cave entrance, he had a gun and could have shot us."

  Yu Wei nodded slightly and Tang Zi said: "Then his goal is the second treasure that Miss Chen mentioned."

  "What's next?"

  Wen Baiyu gritted his teeth and said, "Since we've already come this far, and we've even sacrificed a car, if we just quit like this, I'll slap myself in the face."

  He finished speaking, and the beast excitedly said: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and open the mechanism, or it will be midnight!"

  Wen Baiyu looked at Wan Jingshou, and Wan Jingshou's hand accurately fell on the mechanism stone. Then, with a light press, there was a loud "rumble" sound.

  "Damn it!"

  Wen Baiyu was unprepared, the stone slab under his feet, where the snake's mouth was carved, suddenly cracked open, as if a giant snake had opened its mouth, and everyone slid in along the crack.

  Below was a gigantic slide, with a slope so steep that it was impossible to stop halfway down, and the crowd slid down along the slide.

  "Wen Baiyu couldn't help but shout: 'Damn it, how deep is it?!'"

  He finished speaking, and after another ten seconds, he rolled out of the tunnel with a "bang", heavily slamming his butt on the ground, hurting so much that he gritted his teeth.

  Wen Baiyu was thrown out, and immediately rolled forward. As expected, the person behind him also fell out, and with a loud crash, landed on the spot where he had just been. If he hadn't rolled forward, they would have piled up one on top of another, and the ones at the bottom would probably have ended up as meat patties.

  Wen Baiyu got up, brushed off his clothes, and found that the flashlight on his arm had gone out when he fell. He didn't know if it was broken or not. He took down the flashlight, shook it, and examined it carefully, only to find that it had been smashed and couldn't be used anymore.

  Yu Wei Yang's flashlight was also broken, leaving only one on Wan Kuang Jing Hou's hand. Wen Bai Yu quickly took out a fluorescent stick from her backpack, shook it, and the fluorescent stick lit up instantly, but its brightness seemed too insignificant in the dark tomb passage.

  They stood up and looked around, but they didn't know which level of the underground tomb passage they were on. The burial was incredibly large and incredibly deep.

  The crowd slowly moved forward, but didn't see any sign of the child cart. After a while, they saw a huge stone gate, similar in structure to the one above. The stone gate was open, with black rice scattered on the ground and broken crossbow arrows beside it, but no bloodstains were seen. It seemed that the child cart's learning ability was very strong, and this time it didn't fall into the trap.

  The crowd squeezed in through the stone gate and didn't walk far before seeing a huge tomb chamber. After entering, it was very strange that this tomb chamber had no coffin, no offerings, and no burial objects, but the four walls, even the ceiling and floor were all painted with murals.

  Yu Wei Yang took a flashlight and shone it on the mural. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Hey! Isn't this mural Zi Che San Liang?"

  Wen Baiyu walked over, borrowing the light to take a look. The mural depicted a scene of burial sacrifice. On the side, many common people were carved, all kneeling on the ground with sad faces, as if mourning the death of Zi Zhi San Liang who was buried with Duke Mu of Qin.

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "It seems that this grave is related to Zi Che Sanliang?"

  A thought flashed through his mind, could it be that this Zi Che also had a relationship with Zi Che San Liang? Otherwise, he wouldn't be so familiar with the tomb chamber, and he was also called Zi Che. Although he said he didn't know what his surname was, Zi Che was his name, but it wasn't very believable either.

  They thought, Yu Wei Yang took the flashlight to shine on the mural next to him, Yu Wei Yang "hmm?" a sound, Wen Bai Yu said: "What is this painting?"

  Yu Wei Yang shook his head and said: "I've never seen this story before. But judging from the characteristics of the clothing, it should be much earlier than Duke Mu of Qin, probably from the Western Zhou Dynasty."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly walked over. His eyes couldn't see, so he could only stretch out his hand to feel, slowly tracing the outline of the mural, as if trying to touch out what this gesture meant.

  Wen Baiyu took a glance and said: "This mural, is it also about being buried alive?"

  Yu Wei nodded and said: "This should be confirmed as a burial object, and its scale is larger than that of the chariot of Zi Zhi Liang."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly grabbed Yu Rongyang's hand, moved the flashlight forward and said: "Hey, you see, the person buried in here looks like Sanliang."

  Yu Wei Yang was startled by his words and shivered, saying: "It's impossible for one person."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Are these people also surnamed Zi Che?"

  They said, continuing to look at the next one. Yu Wei Yang said: "I know what's drawn on this one, it should be Wu Xian. Wu Xian was a famous doctor in ancient times, and this engraving has its own characteristics. This picture should be the story of Wu Xian making medicine."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Drum?"

  According to legend, Wu Xian was the inventor of the drum. During the reign of Emperor Shun, Wu Xian and Kui were both trusted generals of Emperor Shun. When Chi You invaded, Emperor Shun sent Kui as the general, but Kui was delayed by a woman and missed the opportunity to attack. Emperor Shun then followed the instructions of the Nine Heavens Mystical Girl and appointed Wu Xian as the general, killing Kui. Wu Xian made a drum from Kui's skin and a hammer from Kui's bones, beating the skin with the bones, shaking the sound for thousands of miles, Chi You's army was frightened to death.

  Wen Baiyu said: "So mysterious? What is this thing?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou continued: "A one-legged beast, like a dragon and like an ox, is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Because of the Kui drum, some people also say that the Kui was the music officer of Emperor Shun."

  He had just finished speaking when he heard a "thud" sound, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground, and Wen Baiyu was startled.

  He looked around and it seemed that the voice was coming from outside, not from this tomb.

  "Bang!"

  "Bang!"

  Bang!

  The sound is very loud, like a subwoofer, and at first I thought something had fallen to the ground. But now that I listen carefully, it actually sounds a bit like... drumming?

  "Wen Baiyu said: "This... what is this sound?""

  Wan Xi Jinghou suddenly let out a "hiss" and waved his hand at him, Wen Baiyu immediately covered her mouth to stifle the sound. Then, she heard the sound of "Dong! Dong! Dong!" It seemed to have a rhythm, each beat echoing, the sound was particularly dull and made people's hearts feel anxious, as if their heart was being beaten and stuck in their throat. A surge of hot blood rushed up from her stomach, this sound was really enough to make people vomit blood after hearing it for too long.

  Wen Bai's face turned pale, and Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly said in a low voice: "Don't be disturbed by the sound, this sound has a hypnotic effect."

  Wen Baiyu immediately covered her ears, feeling a surge of hot blood rushing up, her stomach churning with seven ups and downs, the tomb chamber shaking.

  Bang!

  "Bang!"

  Bang!

  The sound grew louder and more intense, just when Wen Baiyu was about to reach her limit, a sudden "bang!" was heard, seemingly like a gunshot.

  The sound of drums suddenly stopped like this.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is it Zi Che?"

  Everyone ran out of the tomb, and as they walked forward, they heard a loud roar, like some kind of wild beast was calling. Then the entire tomb passage began to shake, as if it was about to be shaken down by this sound.

  Right after that, I heard "Bang! Bang bang!" three shots, it was the sound of gunfire again.

  Wen Baiyu and his companions rushed into the front chamber, which was extremely large and seemed to be the main chamber. What shocked them most was that a one-legged cow was locked inside this chamber!

  Enormously huge body, said to be a cow, it's surprisingly long, and there are dragon-like scales on its body, no horns on its head, a pair of enormous cow eyes, the mouth is split across the big face, occupying at least two-thirds of the face!

  The beast's mouth was wide open, and surprisingly, there was no tongue in its mouth. As soon as its mouth trembled, it let out a loud "roar".

  The beast was entwined with chains around its neck, the only leg and body, all made of bronze chains, looking very tight, although the chain had begun to age, but the beast still could not get rid of it.

  Next to the chain was a huge bronze coffin with intricate patterns engraved on it.

  At the other end of the bronze coffin was a huge drum, its skin had begun to turn yellow and looked quite old. On the drum rack were placed two huge drumsticks.

  As soon as the beast let out a cry, the huge drum began to beat by itself, producing "Boom! Boom! Boom!" sounds.

  Wen Baiyu covered her ears with all her might and said, "Is this Kui?"

  He said, and then heard a "bang!" sound. Kui's head suddenly tilted to one side, as if it had been hit, but the bullet hadn't penetrated Kui's skin and instead fell to the side.

  The rhinoceros's nose spouted out air, seemingly enraged, staring with a pair of huge eyes, one leg suddenly coiled up strength, and the body violently flew forward.

  "Wen Baiyu shouted: 'Get down quickly!'"

  At this moment, "Ka La -!" A loud noise, the bronze lock chain wrapped around Kui's body suddenly tightened, and Kui's range of motion was limited. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't struggle out.

  Wen Baiyu let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay, this chain is quite sturdy."

  He said, turned his head and took a look, it was indeed Zi Che!

  That little guy was covered in blood, his face as white as paper, standing behind them, holding a gun.

  "What exactly do you want to do, you little brat?"

  The young master suddenly widened his eyes, his appearance looked very similar to that of Wan Qi Jing Hou, only much younger and more innocent-looking. Normally, he always had a calm and composed demeanor, but now with his eyes wide open, he actually looked a bit frightened, it was truly unthinkable.

  "The little cart shouted: 'Back up quickly! Back up quickly!'"

  Wen Baiyu looked puzzled and said, "This wild beast is locked up and can't escape."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly grabbed Wen Bai Yu's arm and pulled him back, saying in a low voice: "This chain is not used to restrain the Qiu beast."

  Wen Baiyu listened to the voice of Wan Kuang Jing Hou, looked at his face and knew that something was wrong. He turned his head to see that the Qiu beast was struggling constantly, with huge chains wrapped around its body, while the other end of the chain was wrapped around a giant bronze coffin.

  To be exact, it's on the lid of a bronze coffin.

  The Qiu beast was enraged, struggling violently, pulling the bronze chain, the chain pulled the coffin lid, finally "Bang!" A loud noise, the coffin lid was pulled off by the Qiu beast!

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud shout of "卧槽" and the bronze lid flew into the air, spinning twice before landing with a clang beside him.

  The Qiu beast that was just violently brutal, seemed to be afraid of something inside, and suddenly lowered its huge head, making a "roar... roar..." soft cry.

  Wen Baiyu said: "No, no, is it going to be a zombie?! This Qiu beast is so afraid of things, could it be that it was skinned and made into a drum by the witch Xian?!"

  As soon as he said that, everyone held their breath. This tomb was a witch's tomb and was obviously related to the witch Xian. The witchcraft and texts inside were unclear and incomprehensible to them, completely bewildering. For thousands of years, the culture of witches had been shrouded in mystery, and at this moment, everyone was tense, with sweat seeping from their palms.

  Everyone held their breath, and without saying a word, they slowly backed away, keeping a distance from the bronze coffin. The outermost layer of the coffin had already been pulled open, stripping away one layer of wood after another, but no one knew how many more layers there were inside. However, no one dared to take a step forward recklessly.

  A faint breathing sound came from inside the coffin, and everyone's heart skipped a beat.

  The child stood at the back, both hands grasping the gun, narrowing his eyes as if aiming, and the fingers on the trigger moved slightly, as if he would fire at any moment.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou tilted his head and listened carefully to the sound, he couldn't see anything, his eyes were still numb, but his heart was focused, and his hearing became even more sensitive.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly said: "It's not Wu Xian."

  Wen Baiyu looked at him in surprise, also didn't dare speak, and made a mouth shape, wondering why he wasn't Wu Xian, how did he figure it out.

  But then I thought, Wan Kuang Jing Hou's eyes couldn't see for the time being.

  However, Wan Xi Jing Hou seemed to know what he wanted to ask and continued: "The one in the coffin is a woman."

  Wen Baiyu's eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of something after hearing this.

  At this moment, there was a loud "boom" sound. The coffin suddenly jumped up and started shaking violently. With a "crack" sound, the outer layer of the coffin split open and broke into two halves, falling to the ground.

  Wen Baiyu looked at it in surprise, and inside, a wooden coffin was exposed. This should be the last layer!

  The wooden lid of the coffin seemed to be tightly closed, and around it, in addition to the nails, something was stuck on, written with dense black ink, like a large net.

  The coffin was shaking violently, but this layer of wooden coffin seemed to be harder to open than the previous two coffins. The coffin was only shaking violently, but there was no sign of cracking, as if the nails and those black characters were very powerful.

  Wen Baiyu held her breath, and just then a loud "crack" sounded. The wooden lid in the middle suddenly cracked open a small hole. Although the hole was very small, a hand emerged from inside like a loach.

  It was indeed a woman's hand, soft and boneless, white and smooth, with a beautiful curve on her forearm. Then "slap" another sound, another white arm also came out of the hole.

  "Did she want to crawl out?!"

  Just then, "bang" another sound, actually it was another arm!

  Wen Baiyu took a step back and said: "This... how many women are in this coffin?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou couldn't see the situation and said: "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu immediately said: "The coffin lid has a hole, and three women's arms are stretched out from inside, as if they want to climb out... Ah wait! Four! Four arms, how many women are in this coffin?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow and suddenly said: "No, there's only one person."

  "Could it be three heads and six arms?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to give himself a slap on the ear, and there was actually a flame pattern on that woman's arm!

  Three heads and six arms, isn't that the Fire Demon?!

  What's the connection between Xiangxi's witch tomb and Huo Mo again? And this Huo Mo is obviously a woman!

  At this time, the child who was standing at the back suddenly shouted: "Oh no, can't let her out!"

  He said, "Bang!" A gunshot went off, and the many-handed zongzi seemed to have been prepared early on. Its arm was like it had grown eyes, and as the bullet flew over, it quickly withdrew its hand with a "whoosh" sound. The bullet hit the coffin lid with a loud "bang", and in an instant, the small hole became a big one.

  Those arms squeezed out of the cave with a "whoosh".

  The child narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly fired another shot, but this time it was just a "click" sound, and there were no more bullets!

  The child threw down his cart and suddenly rushed out. He ran very fast, jumped forward in one leap, and pounced on the coffin.

  Wen Baiyu was so shocked that he stared with his mouth agape, is this kid crazy?!

  One of the Qiu beasts seemed to have discovered the anomaly, and in an instant, it pounced on the child's car. The Qiu beast let out a loud "roar" and then stood on one leg, its body suddenly leaning forward, opening its large mouth wide. Although it didn't have a tongue, its fangs were sharp, and it was about to bite the child's car.

  The child himself suddenly jumped up, but it was a fake move. It seemed that he had expected the Qiu beast to attack him and immediately crouched down halfway through, rolling quickly along the ground.

  After the Qiu beast let out a loud roar, it suddenly dived head-first into the ground, flipping over the floorboards. Although the Qiu beast was ferocious, it seemed to lack intelligence, as it ended up getting itself dizzy from diving head-first into the ground, and its big head kept spinning back and forth.

  The little cart successfully bypassed the beast and rushed up, then its whole body jumped onto the coffin with a loud "bang", and it actually lay on the coffin, firmly pressing down on the four corners of the coffin.

  "Carry on! Carry on!"

  "Boom!"

  "Bang! Bang!"

  The four corners of the coffin were shaking violently, and Zongzi's hands could come out from the hole in the middle of the coffin, but it was still very hard to get his body out. After his hands came out, he started to scratch the edge of the coffin lid with force.

  The little car rushed over, pressed down on the lid, as if it wanted to get close and personal with the zongzi.

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud shout, and then heard Zi Che's pained cry of "ah" as his arm shot out from the middle and grabbed Wen Baiyu's neck, pinning him down. With great force, Zi Che pressed down on the lid, and blood suddenly gushed out from Wen Baiyu's neck.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'He doesn't have any weapons on him, is this person crazy?!'"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou said in a low voice: "Gai Zi can't open it. It's not Wu Xian inside, but the Nine Heavens Xuan Nü."

  Wen Baiyu finally understood that what the Kui beast feared was not necessarily Wu Xian, but rather the Jiutian Xuan Nü who had guided Emperor Shun to kill it.

  What Wen Baiyu couldn't understand the most was that Jiutian Xuan Nu actually had such a virtue? Wasn't it said that Jiutian Xuan Nu was also called Jiutian Sheng Mu, and Sheng Mu looked so terrifying, was she teasing him?!

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said, the dazed Qiu beast had woken up, shaking its huge head, opening its big mouth, and turning to bite the Zi Che who was fighting with the meat-filled zongzi.

  "Take them away!" said Wan Jie Jing Hou.

  This sentence was not said to Wen Baiyu, but to the transformed snake behind him.

  After finishing speaking, he suddenly rolled over and rushed up immediately.

  Wen Baiyu shouted loudly, they didn't even have any weapons, not a single bullet, the most lethal thing was a dagger or a bayonet, how could this be used to fight zongzi!

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's eyes couldn't see, everything was done by listening, his hand tightly grasped the dragon scale dagger, rolled to the foot of the Qiu beast, and suddenly jumped up.

  "ROAR!!!!!!"

  Qiu beast was suddenly pierced by the dragon scales, and the bullets that couldn't penetrate earlier now gushed out a large amount of blood. It raised its neck, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a painful howl.

  The snake said immediately: "Quickly go this way."

  Wen Baiyu shook him off and said: "What are you talking about walking? Wan Kuang's eyes can't see, none of us can walk!"

  He finished speaking, cursed a sentence "Die if you want", then took out the phoenix bone dagger and suddenly rushed out.

  The snake shouted, but didn't reach out to stop Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu rushed up, the Qiu beast's painful roar created too much noise. Wan Xi Jing Hou's hearing was sharp, but it was also difficult to hear any movement from such a loud noise.

  The Qiong beast let out a loud roar and suddenly lowered its head.

  Wen Baiyu thrust forward with a swift motion, his dagger flashing in the air. Just as the Qiu beast was about to bite down on General Wan's shoulder, he slashed at its enormous eyes.

  "Roar——"

  The Qiong beast's eyes suddenly spurted out blood, splashing Wen Baiyu with a chilling sensation.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou tightly grasped Wen Bai Yu, and felt a handful of blood, but didn't know whose it was. He asked: "Are you injured?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "It's not me, how could I have so much blood on me?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou didn't say another word, but took advantage of the Qiu beast's pain and rolled on the ground. He suddenly jumped up and landed on the Qiu beast's back, then with a swift kick, he made a loud "crack" sound, and the Qiu beast's leg was actually severed by Wan Kuang Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu let out a cold "hiss——" and couldn't help but touch her lower body, watching Wan Qi Jinghou's swift and decisive movements, suddenly feeling a slight physiological pain between her legs...

  Wen Baiyu was stunned for a moment, and the child in the carriage let out a painful cry. Wen Baiyu immediately looked over, although they had dealt with the Kui beast, but the real show was on the zongzi.

  The small wooden board of the rickshaw had already been lifted up by seven or eight hands, and with a swing, it was smashed out with a "bang".

  Wen Baiyu stretched out her hand to catch him, but the force was too great. The two of them rolled out with a loud "thud" and crashed to the ground.

  Wen Baiyu's body was originally covered in blood, and now it was even more so, with not a single intact piece of skin left on Zi Che's body. The back of his neck still had scorching black marks.

  However, this kid surprisingly didn't seem to feel any pain, got up from the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was about to charge again.

  Wen Bai grabbed him and said: "You're crazy!"

  The little cart roughly gasped for two breaths and said: "Can't let her out, otherwise we'll all die here!"

  Wen Baiyu's eyes rolled around and he said, "I have a way!"

  He got up and rushed towards Tang Zi, shouting: "Bao! Give me Bao!"

  Tang Zishen handed over his backpack and Wen Baiyu took out a glass jar from inside, Zi Che looked at him in surprise.

  Wen Baiyu ran to the side of Wan Qi Jinghou and said, "You have good martial arts skills, block the dumplings for a moment, I'll pour this in and we'll burn her to death!"

  Although many people think this method is not very reliable, there are no other options left. In fact, many dumplings are afraid of fire, and even the most powerful blood corpses can't help but be burned to ashes.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded, and just as everyone was about to take action, Wen Bai Yu suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, I forgot that this zongzi is a fire demon, who knows if it's afraid of fire or not."

  At present there is no other way, so everyone decided to take a gamble.

  "Bang!"

  "Honk honk!"

  "Kala... kala..."

  Zongzi is still making continuous efforts, the coffin lid has been pried open by her at one corner, and can vaguely see what's inside. It's indeed three heads and six arms. And how could this be possible for Jiutian Xuan Nu? Her arms are all women's arms, which look pretty good, but there are three heads - a bird head, a man's head, and a woman's head!

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou and Zi Che rushed up at the same time, the two of them "swish" quickly chopped, that arm reacted very fast, as if it had grown eyes, suddenly shrinking into the coffin, then suddenly popping out again, "bang" tightly grabbing Zi Che's arm.

  Tang Zihe pressed down on the four corners of the coffin with his feet and slammed it shut again with a "bang".

  The child's arm suddenly turned black, and it was unclear whether it was poisoned or burned. Wen Baiyu poured the alcohol a bit slowly.

  "Leave me alone, hurry up and burn!"

  Wen Baiyu immediately took out a lighter from his bag and lit it with a "click". At this moment, another hand suddenly stretched out of the coffin's hole and grabbed Wen Baiyu's neck. The arm was very powerful, and Wen Baiyu was lifted into the air, his eyes rolled back, and the lighter in his hand fell into the hole with a "click".

  "Ah, mom, master, it's not even lit yet and you've already thrown it in!"

  Wen Baiyu didn't know if he was out of breath or suffocating, anyway he couldn't catch his breath, feeling the air in his chest cavity thinning. Yu Wangyang shouted loudly: "Quickly save Wen Baiyu!"

  Wen Baiyu held up his arm very high, waving it continuously, coughing several times. He pinched the arm with both hands, opening a small gap and said: "Hurry up and light the fire! Light... Cough... Cough..."

  Yu Wei hastily patted his body for a lighter, but couldn't find one at that moment. Tang Zi said: "I'll do it."

  He said, with a "poof" sound in his palm, a flame burst forth, and his palm was instantly charred black. Tangzi didn't stop, and with one swift motion, he thrust the flame into the coffin.

  A bottle of alcohol was poured into the coffin, and the flames "whooshed" as they burst into a fierce blaze, shooting straight out of the hole.

  There were screams of "ahhhhhh", female voices, male voices, and the sound of birds chirping coming from the cave.

  But the arm holding Wen Baiyu's sleeve was getting tighter and tighter, as if wanting to perish together with Wen Baiyu!

  Wen Baiyu cursed in her heart, saying that she had agreed to be the one attracting firepower, but now she had become the bait herself!

  His eyes rolled back and his body weakened, but he felt a fire burning inside him, as if it was about to burst out of his skin at any moment. His hands flailed wildly, and suddenly grasped something cold and thin, like bone.

  Wen Baiyu thought in her heart, it was Feng Gu's dagger...

  "Ahhh!!!!"

  Wen Baiyu thought so, but his actions were faster than his brain. His hand suddenly shrunk back, and a sharp cry was heard, followed by a loud "bang". The arm that grabbed Wen Baiyu's sleeve was chopped off, and blood spurted out. Wen Baiyu was flung far away and slammed to the ground.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed over, embracing Wen Bai Yu.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes rolled back, and he coughed several times before gradually regaining his vision. The severed hand lay on the ground, its fingers still twitching as if struggling in its death throes.

  The beast ran over and said: "Master, master, are you okay?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said: "I think I won't die..."

  A shrill cry kept coming from the coffin, and it seemed to be afraid of fire and extremely fearful. Six arms were cut off by Wen Baiyu, and the others twisted frantically, tearing wildly, trying to grab people outside, but everyone's movements were quick, and they pressed down on the coffin with all their might, then bowed their heads and dodged the flailing arms.

  The child's arm was already covered in blood, he was panting heavily, and leaned against the coffin to sit down.

  Yu Wei Yang suddenly said: "Not good, this coffin is about to catch fire, the zongzi inside hasn't died thoroughly yet!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou held Wen Bai Yu and stood up, his empty eyes swept around the tomb chamber, then he pointed with one hand, accurately pointing at the drum in the tomb chamber, saying: "Dismantle the drum, wrap it in a skin package on top of the coffin."

  The child immediately supported the coffin and climbed up with great effort. Wan Xi Jing Hou threw it out with a wave of his hand, and Zi Che stretched out to catch it. He lowered his head to take a look and found that it was a dragon-scale dagger. With a "whooshing" sound, it stabbed into the drum face, cutting off a circle of the drum skin and taking down the entire piece of leather.

  That piece of leather is incredibly large, seemingly a whole pangolin skin, very thick and very tough.

  The son covered the coffin with a piece of leather, and everyone worked together to wrap it around. The leather was too big, so they wrapped it around once and still had some left over.

  The flame can't penetrate the skin and it's quite good at keeping warm.

  Through the thick skin, one could faintly see the raging fire inside, as well as hear the screams - a mix of male and female voices, along with bird calls, one after another. It was unclear how long it had been burning for, but eventually the sounds gradually grew weaker and finally disappeared.

  Everyone held down the coffin, no one dared to let go until the fire was completely extinguished.

  I also don't know what this coffin is made of, and it's surprising that it wasn't completely burned.

  When the flames went out, everyone fell to the ground, feeling as if they had narrowly escaped death. Zi Che collapsed onto the ground, motionless, and if not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, everyone would have thought he was dead.

  Wen Baiyu's body didn't have any major injuries, just being choked to death, a bit hypoxic, after a while, his physical strength gradually recovered.

  "Wen Baiyu said: "Damn it, today's experience is simply speechless.""

  Yu Wei Yang was covered in sweat from the intense heat, but his hands and feet felt icy cold. He still had a lingering fear in his heart as he fell onto Tang Zi's body to catch his breath. Then, he picked up the scattered backpack and said, "Quickly, everyone, tend to your wounds."

  He said, first bandaging Tang Zi's scalded hand.

  Wen Baiyu pulled out medicine and gauze from her bag, threw them at Zi Che's chest, and said: "Hey, little friend, aren't you dead? If not, get up and bandage yourself."

  The child slowly sat up, and every move seemed to consume too much physical strength, but he didn't make a sound, and wrapped himself up independently, still looking like a tough guy.

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said to Wan Kuangjinghou, "Ah, still quite like you."

  "What does it look like?"

  "Showing off is so tiring!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou: "......"

  Everyone took a break, but still felt that this place was not safe. Although the Qiu beast had its legs cut off by Wan Qi Jing Hou and could only lie on the ground, and the coffin was also burned, they still felt very uneasy.

  Wen Baiyu sat up and said: "What is in this coffin?"

  The little cart looked at him and suddenly said: "What he said is right, it's Jiutian Xuan Nu."

  Wen Baiyu shivered and said: "I don't read much, you're fooling me, does the Ninth Heaven Xian Girl look like this?"

  The little cart shook his head and said, "What I'm saying is the truth, but this isn't the Jiutian Xuannü from Han people's mythology. In many ancient tribes, Jiutian Xuannü was personified as a war god, representing war, killing, and power, with different tribes having different images of Jiutian Xuannü. Some ancient tribes would select newborn babies, have shamans read their fortunes, and the selected babies would receive sacrifices from a young age. The image in this coffin is three-headed and six-armed, with bird heads representing heaven, earth, and hell. When the chosen Jiutian Xuannü was buried, there would be many offerings, and when the time was ripe, the three heads and six arms would merge, and Jiutian Xuannü would emerge from the coffin, becoming a true deity."

  Wen Baiyu said: "This is also too mysterious, I will never understand these ideas in my lifetime."

  Wen Baiyu said, "Moreover, this zongzi has a flame mark on its arm, which is also three heads and six arms. I think it's absolutely related to the Huo Mo evil organization, maybe it's used by Jiutian Xuan Nu to deceive ignorant people."

  He said, and then saw Zi Che crawling up from the ground and walking towards the coffin.

  The little cart drove up beside the coffin and actually lifted off that huge piece of cowhide.

  "Wen Baiyu was shocked and said: 'What are you going to do?'"

  The little cart stopped for a moment and said: "The second thing that Big Sister wants is in this coffin."

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback and said: "The fire is so big, shouldn't it have burned out long ago?"

  The little cart suddenly smiled and said: "You are really too naive, how can a real treasure be afraid of fire."

  He said, stretching out his hand to push the coffin lid. With a "clatter", the coffin lid was easily pushed away, and it fell to the ground with a "thud". It had been burned to a crisp and suddenly turned into rice dust.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stood up silently at this time, stretched out his hand and tapped twice on the palm of Wen Bai Yu's hand. Wen Bai Yu looked at him in surprise, then handed over the phoenix bone dagger in her hand to Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Just now because of peeling the drum skin, Zi Che still held the Longlin dagger in his hand. At this time, he bent down to look at something in the coffin, then widened his eyes as if he had seen something incredible.

  "Don't move."

  The young master felt a chill on his back and was already being blocked by something. He didn't need to turn around to know it was the voice of General Wan Kuang.

  The young man gripped the dragon-scale dagger tightly in his hand, but Mo Jie already spoke in a low voice: "Fall back. My patience is extremely limited. Understand your own abilities."

  The little cart took a deep breath, seemingly reluctant, but after weighing its options, it slowly backed away.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou held a dagger against his lower back, stretched out his hand, and Zi Che placed the dragon-scale dagger in his palm with an expressionless face, then continued to retreat.

  Wen Baiyu hastily ran over, stuck her head into the coffin and took a look, instantly feeling nauseous to the point of vomiting.

  Lying in the coffin was a charred monster with three heads and six arms, exactly as Zi Che had described. Although they had already caught a glimpse of the creature's general appearance through the cracks in the coffin earlier, this direct sight still gave them a fright.

  In the middle is a bird's head, with a sharp beak. On the left is a man's head and on the right is a woman's head. The body is robust, but human bodies have bird claws, which are charred and look mottled.

  Underneath the three-headed monster, it seemed to be resting on something.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes were sharp, and in the coffin, everything was charred black, but there was one thing that hadn't turned black - it was a bronze box!

  Wen Baiyu pointed at the box and said: "Look, look, the third one!"

  However, he thought that Wan Qi Jing Hou couldn't see it and was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so he quickly changed his words: "Bronze box, the third bronze box. In this way, we'll have them all!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded, but apparently wasn't particularly excited.

  The first two boxes, as said by the beast, were obtained by Hong Yu. The three boxes can be combined into a single treasure, and Hong Yu has two of them in his hands, while the remaining one has never been found.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou was very excited when he got the first two boxes, because inside there were silk books left by Hong Yu, and this one, except for that broken candle holder, should be empty.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou was not interested in Zhu Jiu Yin.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This is too disgusting, how can you bring it out?"

  Tang Zi smiled and said, "I have an idea."

  He said, taking a strap from his backpack and hanging it around the three-headed monster's neck, pulling upwards with force. Although the three-headed monster was charred, its bones were still intact, and it stood up with one pull.

  Wen Baiyu was just about to reach in and grab something when he heard Wan Jingshou suddenly say in a low voice, "Wait!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Baiyu suddenly let out a loud "Ah!" and was so frightened that his gallbladder almost burst. The three-headed monster had suddenly opened its eyes!

  "Wen Baiyu shouted loudly: 'You haven't died yet!'"

  The monster suddenly opened its eyes, and one of its six arms fell off. The remaining arms grabbed Wen Baiyu tightly, and when she tried to struggle, "swish" - Wan Qi Jinghou had already chopped down once. The monster was in pain and threw Wen Baiyu out.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou hugged Wen Bai Yu and rolled forward with a swift motion.

  Tang Zi immediately loosened his hand, and with a loud crash, he knocked down Yu Wei Yang who was standing beside him. In the blink of an eye, the snake tail of the transformed snake suddenly swung out, violently flipping over the coffin and pinning the monster underneath it.

  The coffin was burnt to a crisp, and with one touch, the black rice grains started falling off with a rustling sound. The monster inside struggled and suddenly shattered the coffin.

  "Let's go quickly!" said Wan Jie Jing Hou.

  He said, pulling Wen Baiyu to stand up. Wen Baiyu turned back and saw Zi Che standing still on the spot, not moving. The kid didn't know what he was thinking again, and he was actually in a daze. And where he was staring at, there was a bronze box lying there.

  The monster ran out of the coffin, extremely tall and large in stature, like a robust man, what kind of image is this of the Holy Mother.

  "Wen Baiyu shouted: 'Don't be stunned, let's go!'"

  The little cart seemed more determined than ever, gritted its teeth and ran forward.

  Wen Baiyu really couldn't understand him, was he going to die for this box? They didn't have time to delay any longer, so everyone had no choice but to throw down the rickshaw and run out.

  The monster's six eyes seemed to stare at Wen Baiyu and Wan Jinhou, rushing towards them fiercely. Wen Baiyu only felt a heavy blow to his back, being pushed away by Wan Jinhou, rolling out far away, dizzily getting up, looking back, and suddenly gasping in cold air.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's shoulder was bitten by the bird's beak, and he was suddenly picked up. The monster seemed to be particularly clever, with the bird's beak holding Wan Kuang Jing Hou, while the other two mouths kept making loud laughter sounds to disturb him.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's face turned pale, his shoulders had blood flowing down, and he tightly grasped the dragon-scale dagger in his hand. However, due to the distraction of his loud laughter, his eyes couldn't see clearly, as if he was caught off guard by the monster's full attack.

  The monster bit down on Wan Jie Jing Hou, and with a loud "crack", Wan Jie Jing Hou's shoulder seemed to shatter, letting out a muffled groan. Meanwhile, the monster let out a triumphant laugh that sounded like cold laughter.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly shouted "Grass!", then turned around and ran over, made a sudden stop, raised his hand and with one swift motion, the Phoenix Bone Dagger sliced through the air like mud, pinning the monster's claw to the ground.

  Three heads opened their eyes wide at the same time, and then a fierce roar came out of their mouths. The bird's voice, male voice, and female voice were like a trio, calling out so loudly that Wen Bai's white-haired head was about to explode.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou was suddenly knocked down by the bird's head, and Wen Bai Yu cushioned him from below, helping him up and asking: "Sh...shoulder, how is it?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it will heal on its own."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's carefree attitude actually made Wen Bai Yu quite angry, but now he was relieved that his wound could heal; otherwise, with such a severe injury, wouldn't his arm have been crippled?

  As they spoke, a loud "bang" was heard. The snake tail of the transformed snake swept across, and suddenly the human body also turned into a snake shape, huge and almost filling the entire tomb chamber. With a sudden tremble, it wrapped up the entire monster, tighter and tighter, then opened its mouth wide and bit off the man's head in one bite.

  The beast in the mouth let out a "wow" and said: "You're so disgusting, why do you bite everything? Don't kiss me again!"

  His head rolled off and fell to the ground with a thud, his mouth wide open as if he refused to die with his eyes closed.

  Wen Baiyu is about to be disgusted, now it's a comparison of whose body shape is bigger. The body shape of Huashe is undoubtedly larger, if you want to compare with the body shape of Huashe, I'm afraid only Chujiuyin who crawled out from under the ground can do that.

  The green-eyed snake looked at them with a glance, its mouth wide open, and spoke in human language, saying: "Hurry up!"

  The bird's head stretched out, and with one swift motion, it grasped a scale of the snake's body in its beak. With a sudden jerk, the snake let out a loud hiss, and to everyone's surprise, a large black-green scale was ripped off its body.

  It was a miserable sight, probably like being cut alive with a knife.

  Wen Baiyu's whole body trembled with fear, his breathing was rapid, and there seemed to be something bursting out of his chest, as if a fire was burning inside him. His body felt like it couldn't withstand the force, and he urgently needed to vent it out.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes slowly turned red, and his right hand subconsciously tightened its grip on the Fenggu bone dagger.

  The Fenggu bone dagger suddenly emitted a red glow, and Wen Baiyu's palm was scorched in pain, "hissed" for a moment, but soon, that pain seemed to turn into a kind of catharsis. Wen Baiyu's eyes became redder and redder, emitting a ruby-like glow that was extremely dazzling in the dark tomb.

  Everyone was shocked by Wen Baiyu's appearance and thought that Wen Baiyu was controlled by a monster's spell.

  At this moment, Wen Baiyu suddenly ran forward quickly. The monster had already broken free from the snake's restraints. Its beak swooped down fiercely and struck the ground with a loud "slap", instantly creating a large pit. However, Wen Baiyu immediately reached out and grabbed the woman's hair in mid-air amidst her terrified screams, and leapt onto the monster's head with incredibly swift movements.

  The bird raised its head, wanting to shake off the warm white feathers, and let out a sharp cry. The two eyes met the fiery gaze of Warm White Feathers, seemingly startled, and suddenly shrunk its neck. At this moment, Warm White Feathers' hand moved, and with a "slap" sound, the phoenix bone dagger was inserted into the bird's neck.

  The bird's head opened its eyes wide, and the remaining woman's head also seemed to have been frightened, opening her eyes wide.

  With a thud, the monster fell to the ground, staring at Wen Baiyu with its eyes, and let out a series of rapid gasps from its beak, "Hah---hah---", before suddenly stopping breathing.

  The woman's head was pressed to the ground, her eyes open and staring at Wen Baiyu. Suddenly, she spoke in a voice that was neither male nor female, with a mechanical tone: "Wen Baiyu... I am an ancient god. You have usurped the gods and changed fate, you will surely suffer heavenly punishment."

  Wen Baiyu simply lowered his head and looked at him, with no expression on his face, his fiery eyes were filled with calmness, his left hand lifted up and gently wiped the bloodstains off the phoenix bone dagger, then lightly swung it.

  Then, with a "whoosh", flames erupted, instantly engulfing the creature. The tomb was filled with its anguished cries and Wen Baiyu's curses. In less than half a minute, the creature was reduced to ashes in the raging fire, turning into a pile of black soil scattered on the ground.

  Wen Baiyu's face was somewhat pale, but his eyes were spirited. Under the reflection of the dancing flames, he actually looked very majestic.

  Everyone looked at Wen Baiyu with different eyes. Wan Xi Jinghou couldn't see the situation, but he could hear the monster's sharp curse and his heart skipped a beat, rushing up suddenly.

  Just as Wan Xi Jing Hou rushed over, Wen Bai Yu's body suddenly went limp and fell backwards.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou caught him in one grasp and held him tightly in his arms, saying: "Bai Yu? Bai Yu?"

  Wen Baiyu took two deep breaths, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they had turned into black pupils. Her mind was a bit unclear, and seeing Wan Jingshou, she looked stunned and said, "What happened to me?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou reached out and touched his forehead, saying: "Relax, your body is very hot, don't think about anything."

  Wen Baiyu also felt that his body was very hot, but it wasn't a fever. A thrilling feeling, as if there were flames burning inside his body.

  Yu Wei Yang was stunned, his eyes wide with wonder, and he had no idea what was going on.

  Tangzi seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help but laugh, muttering a sentence, "So that's how it is."

  Yu Wei Yang didn't understand what he said, but Tang Zi also didn't say anything more.

  The snake had transformed into a human body, with a very large blood scab on his neck that was no longer bleeding but looked terrifying.

  Huaxing reached out and gently touched the forehead of Wen Baiyu, lowering his voice to say: "Your Majesty, if this continues, Mr. Baiyu's physical body will absolutely not be able to withstand it."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou gently stroked Wen Bai Yu's cheek, as if using his body heat to cool him down, and said, "I understand."

  The beast jumped over, hugged Wen Baiyu, and rubbed its head against his chest, saying: "Master, master, don't die!"

  Wen Baiyu slapped him away with a bad temper and said: "You're waiting for me to make a good move."

  The beast twitched its small nose and said: "I thought you were going to be burned to a crisp."

  He said, patting Wen Baiyu's chest twice with his hand: "Are you feeling better now?"

  Unexpectedly, the last time the beast was able to cure his broken leg with one move, and now with just a light tap, the fire in his chest subsided.

  Wen Baiyu took two deep breaths and nodded slightly.

  The beast smiled proudly and said, "That's good, I'm actually very powerful. Although our kind of spiritual beast doesn't have much attacking power, we still have some basic healing powers."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou helped Wen Bai Yu sit up, and Wen Bai Yu suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no, the box is gone! It must have been taken by Zi Che!"

  As soon as he said that, everyone realized that Wen Baiyu's face had looked very bad earlier. Nobody had noticed the bronze box then, but now it was gone, and the child's carriage was also nowhere to be seen.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This kid is really strange, as if he doesn't care about his life."

  Tang Zi said: "He is definitely not just a mercenary for Miss Chen."

  Wan Ji Jing Hou said: "It doesn't matter, he only has one box in his hand, and it's useless even if he gets it."

  The beast nodded and said: "Although I don't know what this is for, it's definitely necessary to take all three together to piece them together. Taking one is useless."

  Yu Wenyang said: "Our top priority now is to find a way out."

  "Can you walk?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said: "It's all right now, but what about your shoulder?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "It's almost good."

  He said, shrugging his shoulders. Wen Baiyu saw that he was indeed able to move now, but Wan Kuangjing's eyes were still empty and seemed unable to see anything.

  Because Wan Kuang Jing Hou couldn't see, Hua She was also seriously injured. In comparison, Tang Zi's injury on his hand was the lightest.

  Tangzi led the way in front, and they walked deeper into the tomb chamber. Suddenly, there was a "click" sound, as if something had been triggered, and everyone tensed up.

  Wen Baiyu lowered her head and took a look, but she didn't know what it was. She picked it up and found that it was actually a piece of paper wrapped around a stone.

  Wen Baiyu unfolded the paper and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, a map?!"

  Yu Wei Yang leaned over, shining his flashlight on it and said: "Is this really a treasure map?!"

  Wen Baiyu carefully examined the map of the tomb, which was drawn in great detail, although somewhat crudely. The entrance, first and second layers were all marked, with some areas even noting the presence of mechanisms.

  They painted a bump with black dots in the tomb chamber and carefully drew out the exit route.

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "How can there be a map? Is it left by that little car?"

  Yu Wei Yang said: "I really can't understand this person, he doesn't have any ill intentions towards us."

  "But with this map, it's more convenient for us to go out."

  The painting level of the map is not very good, but it wins in clarity. They walked out of the main tomb chamber and moved the mechanism in the ear chamber. A passage really appeared, and further inside was a dead end with offerings piled up.

  Some of the offerings had been moved, and below was a large pit. The pit was very rough. Wen Baiyu said: "There is a thief hole here."

  Tangzi squatted down to take a look and said, "This hole is very old, it should not be a thief's hole, but an escape passage prepared by the craftsmen for themselves. Otherwise, once the sealing stone falls, there are mechanisms on top, and all the craftsmen will die here."

  The escape route was very rough and the space was really narrow. Wan Zongjing's eyes couldn't see, so Wen Baiyu let him pull his clothes, Tang Zixian went in to open the way, and came out again after a while, saying: "It should be walkable, the road is very deep."

  Everyone entered the escape route one after another, crawling for a very long time. It was extremely dark inside, and they were using flashlights. The road was also very narrow. After more than an hour of crawling, they finally saw hope.

  Tangzi said: "There is a way out!"

  This sentence is so inspiring that everyone's spirits were lifted and they immediately quickened their pace, using their hands and feet to crawl forward.

  When crawling onto the ground, Wen Baiyu let out a loud sigh of relief because he had been lying on his stomach for so long that his back was killing him and he could hardly straighten his waist.

  Yu Wei Yang let out a "huh" and Wen Bai Yu thought something was wrong again, quickly lifting her head to look.

  The result was a patch of charred black earth and trees, as well as a corroded, pockmarked tent.

  Wen Baiyu was also surprised and said: "Isn't this place where we put the magnetic box? It turns out that we've been walking in a big circle and ended up back here."

  Zi Che held the bronze box in his arms and crawled out of the hole, running quickly forward. He ran for a while, already exhausted, "thud" fell to the ground, dazed, covering his lower back with his hand. Although the wound had been treated, it was clear that he had been poisoned, and the wound had been torn many times. Zi Che could hardly hold on.

  He knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

  Just at this moment, there was a sudden sound of a car, and then in front of it lit up, the headlights shone fiercely into the eyes of the child.

  The child blinked once, then suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a pale face without expression suddenly showed some surprise and smile, making the bloodless face instantly have some human spirit.

  The little car struggled to climb up from the ground and then ran over, with a face full of joy, only then could it be seen that he was still a seventeen-year-old kid.

  The rear window of the car rolled down, and a man wearing a black suit was vaguely seen sitting inside. He wore sunglasses, making it impossible to discern his features.

  The man turned his head and looked at Zi Che. Zi Che handed over the box and said happily: "Uncle, I got it."

  The man took over the box, put it on his leg, gently rubbed it a bit, and had some smile at the corner of his mouth, saying: "Good boy."

  The little cart also smiled, seemingly delighted by the praise.

  However, the man did not open the car door, but said: "The other two boxes are in their hands, you know?"

  The little cart was stunned for a moment, its throat moving up and down, then nodded and said, "I know."

  The man's mouth curled up again and said, "Then you know what to do?"

  The child nodded again. The happy smile from just now had completely disappeared, replaced by huge disappointment. Yet he still nodded and said, "I know."

  The man said: "Good."

  The little cart opened its mouth again, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't say anything.

  The man said: "What do you want to ask?"

  The young man looked down at his toes and finally spoke up, saying: "That person named Wan Qi Jing Hou, why does he look so much like me?"

  The man gave a low, muffled laugh and said, "This is something you shouldn't know about, got it?"

  The little car nodded its head and said obediently: "Understood."

  The man said again, "Good boy."

  The voice seemed very gentle, then suddenly a hand stretched out from the car window, his hand holding a gun, saying: "Go do what you should do, after this thing is done, you can come back."

  The child nodded, but didn't say anything.

  "Boom!"

  It was the sound of gunfire echoing through the woods, extremely clear.

  Wen Baiyu was startled and said: "Are there other people here?"

  They walked forward along the sound and saw a young man lying in a pool of blood, his eyes staring blankly at the sky, his eyes were red, as if crying, his body kept twitching, there was a bullet hole in the position of his heart, apparently he had been shot, blood kept flowing out of his throat, sliding down along the corner of his mouth.

  Everyone was startled and it turned out to be a rickshaw.

  Everyone ran over, Yu Wei Yang said: "Quickly, he's vomiting blood."

  Wen Baiyu had never seen such a scene before, and for a while, he was busy and confused. In the end, this young man, apart from being a bit strange in his behavior, didn't have any malicious intentions, and even guided them out of the ancient tomb.

  It was just a moment's work, and this young man was shot, and the wound was in the position of the heart, I'm afraid it's more harm than good.

  The child's body convulsed, seemingly without even the strength to cough, with two red eyes that seemed somewhat desperate.

  Wen Baiyu looked at his face, which resembled Wan Jieying's, and felt a pang in her heart. She really couldn't bear it. At this time, Wan Jieying had already cut open his palm and said, "Let him open his mouth."

  Wen Baiyu hastily pinched open the lower jaw of the child in the carriage, and Wan Jingshou squeezed blood into it.

  Everyone was in a flurry, here in the deep mountains and old forests, there were no signs of human habitation at all. Their emergency first aid kit absolutely could not cope with such severe injuries. Just at this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of people, it seemed that a team was driving over from afar.

  Those people saw them and also saw the young man lying in a pool of blood, they were frightened and quickly jumped off the car, shouting: "Someone is injured, hurry up and save him!"

  These people have cars and medical equipment more advanced than theirs. They can always stop the bleeding first, then drive quickly to the nearest county town.

  The injury to the child was very severe, and the small county town was unable to control it. He was then transferred to a large hospital for emergency treatment. After a whole day of rescue efforts, the doctor finally came out, his face pale and sweaty, saying: "Luckily he has a big life, the bullet deviated a bit and happened to be stuck in the main artery, blocking the bleeding point. If not, he would have died long ago."

  Wen Baiyu let out a sigh of relief, although Zi Che was rescued, but he had been in a coma all along. When he finally woke up, he didn't say anything, just stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, as if he had become stupid.

  Wen Baiyu whispered to Yu Yang: "Do you think he will go crazy?"

  Yu Wei Yang said: "It's not like he hit his head or anything, how could he be stupid? I think he must have been scared silly."

  Wen Baiyu smacked her lips and said, "With his skills, what thing could scare him?"

  They couldn't figure out what was going on, all they knew was that the child's body didn't have a bronze box, and it was lying in a pool of blood. It was probably stolen by someone. Thinking about it, whoever stole the bronze box must be ruthless.

  Wan Kuang didn't enter the ward, but sat on a chair in the corridor outside with his eyes closed. Wen Baiyu walked over and asked, "How are your eyes?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou did not open his eyes and said: "Much better, I can already feel the light."

  He said, opening his eyes and gazing at Wen Baiyu, smiling lightly: "I can still see your outline."

  "Hey, isn't that just a high degree of nearsightedness? You're already crippled in life, and now you've become really crippled."

  Wen Baiyu was chatting with him and mentioned the child in the car, saying: "I wonder who snatched the bronze box."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou closed his eyes again and said faintly: "It's someone he's familiar with."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Familiar?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said, "According to his skills, ordinary mercenaries can't deal with him. There are no other wounds on Zi Che's body except for the injuries he received in the tomb, and there are no signs of struggle on the ground. The bullet was shot from the front, not a sneak attack from behind. The person who could make him stand still and shoot him from the front should be someone he is familiar with, at least someone he knows."

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and felt that his analysis was very reasonable. Suddenly, he remembered the look of despair on Zi Che's face when he fell to the ground, staring up at the sky with both eyes. If it wasn't someone he knew well, he probably wouldn't have shown such an expression.

  "Alas, it's quite miserable."

  Wan Kuang said: "Things on the road are cruel in themselves."

  After waking up, the child cooperated with the nurse to get injections and infusions, but he didn't speak a word. No matter what others asked him, he just looked at them with his eyes, making Wen Baiyu think that his throat was damaged.

  The doctor examined him and said it might be psychological reasons, and estimated that after the injury healed, he would need psychological treatment.

  They stayed for almost a month, and Ziche's physical strength recovered very well. The injury healed quickly, but he still didn't speak.

  Wen Baihe and they after all were just acquaintances with Zi Che, it was already not bad to have made it this far, so they planned to head back to Beijing, finally going to the hospital to see Zi Che.

  As a result, the little guy was gone. The nurse said that the patient had been discharged from the hospital last night and left them something - a large envelope. When they opened it, they were surprised to find a thick stack of money, which was probably the deposit for their hospital stay.

  Wen Baiyu was indeed curious, but everyone had left, and there was no way to satisfy her curiosity.

  Wen Baiyu and Yu Wenyang rented a car, with Yu driving in the front. Wen said with a tongue-in-cheek tone: "Well, we didn't find anything, and to top it off, we even wrecked a car."

  Yu Wei Yang smiled and said, "Fortunately, that car was rented. If I drove my own car, I would have been heartbroken to death. I'm telling you, everyone has a share, we must split the cost of the car."

  Wen Baiyu laughed and said, "Hey, who's with whom? The little money I earn from my restaurant isn't even enough to pay wages. I've sold Tangzi to you!"

  Tang Zi smiled and took a glance at Yu Wei Yang.

  Yu Wei's face turned a bit red as she said, "I've been teased. With such a big pile, and still want to waste food? I don't want it."

  A few people chatted and laughed along the way, so it wasn't boring, and they returned to Beijing.

  Xī Chí has been out every day since he started dating Zhōng Jiǎn, and later, Huà Shé and Yě Shòu came to his home. Xī Chí generously let them stay in his room, then openly cohabited with Zhōng Jiǎn.

  As soon as Wen Baiyu entered the house, she felt a surge of anger and heard the sound of water splashing from the unflushed toilet. It was extremely unpleasant.

  Wen Baiyu stormed over, her eyes flashing with anger, and suddenly shouted: "You two dog men, get out! Look at the water all over the floor! The floorboards are going to rot!"

  Jiǔ Mìng was now riding on Dong Hai's back, shining brightly. Dong Hai had transformed into a fish-tailed creature and was lying horizontally in the bathtub, the situation was extremely tense!

  Jiǔ Mìng was startled by Wēn Bái Yǔ's shout, but soon became soft and lay on Dōng Hǎi's body, saying: "Don't mind him, don't mind him!"

  Dong Hai chuckled and completely ignored Wen Bai Yu.

  Wen Baiyu was so angry that she was about to breathe fire, when suddenly Jiū Mìng shouted loudly "Meow!!" and then said: "There's a snake! There's a snake!! The snake is hissing!"

  Then he climbed onto Donghai's head and crawled desperately towards him.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Their home is like a zoo, it's really a case of mutual generation and mutual conquest...

  Wen Baiyu resignedly tidied up the house and let Wan Qi Jinghou go take a bath first, they had been rushing along the way, even in autumn, they were still covered in stinky sweat.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took the clothes but didn't go. He pointed to his eyes and said, "I'm blind, I can't see anything, I won't be able to take a bath."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu knew he was pretending to be pitiful, this tactic is useless on himself! He let out a cold laugh and said: "Hurry up and roll in, I still need to mop the floor!"

  Wan Jie Jing Hou had no choice but to take the clothes and towels into the bathroom, where hot water was already prepared in the bathtub. Wan Jie Jing Hou stepped in and sat down, then suddenly pulled the towel hanging on the rack.

  Wen Baiyu just heard "Bang! Dong! Bang bang bang......" sounds, as if someone was demolishing a house!

  Wen Baiyu rushed into the bathroom, only to see Wan Jingshou covered in soap suds, with water droplets rolling down his chest. He was standing in the bathtub, next to a towel that had fallen on the floor, completely soaked. The soap from the sink had been smashed to pieces. Wen Baiyu was so angry she wanted to grab Wan Jingshou's neck and ask him how he had managed to make such a mess!

  The cup for rinsing mouth, toothbrush all fell on the ground, and shampoo spilled all over the floor, what a spectacular scene.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stood innocently, then pointed at his own eyes, meaning he couldn't see.

  Wen Baiyu took a deep breath, rolled up his pants to avoid increasing the workload, and then rolled up his sleeves, saying: "Sit down, stop shivering, I'll wash you."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou listened carefully, sat down, with an enchanting smile on his face. The water was still hot but not scalding, the mist dispersed, and Wan Xi Jing Hou's figure appeared before Wen Bai Yu's eyes.

  "Cough..."

  Wen Bai's throat was a bit dry, she coughed and her eyes kept darting over, thinking that since Wan Jie Jing Hou couldn't see, it didn't matter if she took a few glances.

  Wen Baiyu handed the well-beaten soap ball to Wan Qi Jinghou, and then Wan Qi Jinghou deliberately threw it into the bathtub.

  "Sorry, I can't see very clearly."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu coughed, picked up the bath ball, applied some soap, and then coughed again as she scrubbed Meng Jing Hou's back with the bath ball.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's back was very wide, looking very safe, with faint scars on his shoulders. His waist was slender, but it had a lot of strength, and Wen Bai Yu could see the abdominal muscles in front of him with just one glance, and then below that...

  "Cough..."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly let out a "hiss" and turned his head, laughing as he said: "You're going to rub the skin right off my back!"

  "Ah... uh, I just spaced out for a second."

  He was so focused on watching that he didn't notice, and indeed, the back of Wan Kuang Jing Hou had turned bright red all over, looking like his own masterpiece.

  Wan Jingshou chuckled again, suddenly grabbing Wen Baiyu's hand. Wen Baiyu was half-kneeling on his back and was pulled forward by him, instantly leaning against him, her clothes getting wet with soap suds, looking as if she had hugged Wan Jingshou from behind.

  "What the hell is this hairstyle?!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou gently pinched his fingers, with slippery foam all over his hands, making Wen Bai Yu's fingertips feel scalding hot, and a sour and itchy sensation rushed up. Wen Bai Yu was still in a daze when he was already hugged into the bathtub by Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Two men squeezed together, inevitably a bit crowded, Wen Baiyu's clothes were stuck to his body, especially uncomfortable. Wan Qi Jing Hou had already kissed him, touched his lips with his own, and then kissed his neck.

  Wen Baiyu was tickled by him and said: "Get out of here, you've covered me in foam, let me go."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou held him in his arms, pressed his hand on his chest, and then gently pinched the bulge in front of Wen Bai Yu.

  "Hmm—"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly raised his voice and took a deep breath, his body trembling with rage. Wan Jingshou was too despicable!

  Wan Xi Jing Hou furrowed his brow in confusion, a smile on his face as he said, "Your voice has changed, huh? Is it very comfortable?"

  Wen Baiyu really wanted to slap his handsome face, it's unbearable!

  Wen Baiyu stood up from the bathtub and kicked Wan Jiahao, saying: "Get out... I'm going to change my clothes..."

  Wan Xi didn't stop him either, smiling as he watched Wen Baiyu rush out of the bathroom like a fugitive.

  Because Wan Qi Jing Hou's eyes were temporarily blind, Wen Bai Yu couldn't enslave him either. The small restaurant was busy with Tang Zi alone, so Wen Bai Yu considered hiring another partner again.

  Wen Baiyu personally posted recruitment information on the glass, which was no different from last time.

  High school diploma or above

  Having affinity, enthusiastic and warm hospitality, lively and cheerful, eloquent, good at communicating with people, having team spirit.

  3. Physically healthy, no bad habits

  Wen Baiyu looked at the recruitment information and then tore it off, adding a fourth item.

  4. Normal human beings! (This item is most important)

  Wen Baiyu was finally satisfied and posted the reprinted paper, then sat with his legs raised behind the counter.

  "Ah..."

  The door was pushed open. It's not meal time now. Did someone come as soon as the recruitment notice was posted?

  Wen Baiyu suddenly lifted his head and was petrified, uttering a "Ah yo wu cao" sound.

  The person who came in was wearing a black outfit, slender and tall, with a slightly pale complexion, an extremely cold expression, and most importantly, this young man looked too much like Wang Jue Hou!

  Too, like, already!

  It's just the child who suddenly left without saying goodbye!

  A young man walked in, carrying a large package, looking like he was surnamed Li, and said: "Are you hiring?"

  Wen Baiyu's eyelid twitched and he said, "Uh... yeah."

  The child put down the surname Li, and there was a metallic sound inside. Wen Baiyu thought that it must be various shovels and probes inside...

  The young man said faintly: "I just arrived in Beijing and I'm looking for a job, can I?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu struggled for a while before saying: "Uh... let's not involve minors..."

  Son: "......"

  Just then, the door of the small restaurant was knocked twice, and a courier walked in, handed a package to Wen Baiyu, and asked him to sign for it.

  Wen Baiyu tore open the envelope, and to her surprise, there was a house card inside. It really made her wonder. Wen Baiyu subconsciously took a glance at the sender's information, but it wasn't written, nor was the mailing address or contact phone number.

  There was a door number and hotel name on the room card, Wen Baiyu looked down and saw that it was in Gansu...

  Wen Baiyu flipped through the package box again, and a piece of paper fell out, with a fierce-looking thing drawn on it, its face ferocious.

  The little cart picked it up first and frowned, saying: "Is this a wax nine?"
