Chapter 51: The Fiery Spirit Mausoleum (Part 1)
Xiang Liu dragged Xue Bai away in a flash, leaving behind a trail of blood on the ground and that heart-stopping "crack" sound. They didn't even know if Xue Bai was alive or dead now, while Zi Che didn't say a word and immediately chased after them.
Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou rushed into the crack in the wall, took a look inside, and Wen Baiyu immediately turned on his flashlight. The ground was covered with a thick layer of bloodstains that extended deep into the interior.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Leave."
Wen Baiyu nodded and quickly followed Wan Jijinghou forward, then suddenly seemed to remember something, walking while sizing up Wan Jijinghou, saying: "Zi Che won't be your son, will he?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled lightly and said: "I've already told you I don't have a son... of course, I also don't have a daughter."
Wen Baiyu said: "Then you look so alike."
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Among the younger generation, I know of one nephew, but judging from his age, he shouldn't be my nephew, maybe a descendant, specifically I'm not clear..."
Wan Qi Jing Hou thought, after all, at that time he had already been buried, and how many later generations he did not know.
Wen Baiyu hummed twice and said: "I don't think you can give birth to such a big son."
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "Then you are born?"
Wen Baiyu: "......"
This joke is too damn cold!
Although they were talking, their footsteps didn't slow down and soon caught up with the car in front.
The child in her arms still had a bullet in his chest, and she gradually felt somewhat weak, supporting herself against the tomb wall as she moved forward little by little, with a layer of cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, panting heavily.
Wen Baiyu saw him like this, it seemed that from the moment they met, Zi Che had been constantly getting hurt, and each time it was a fatal injury. No one was more miserable than him.
Perhaps because of Zi Che's reckless nature, he doesn't consider the consequences of anything as long as it gets done, even if it means sacrificing his own limbs. And all this is to give his adoptive father a good show, but in the end, it's just a joke.
The child stumbled and suddenly fell to the ground with a thud. Wen Baiyu cried out and quickly helped him up.
The child waved his hand, then pulled out something from his bosom. It was a silk book, which looked like it had been around for some years. There was a blood stain on the corner of the page that had been tucked into the child's bosom, but fortunately the marks were still visible.
Wen Baiyu picked it up, turned on the flashlight and took a look, and found that it was actually an ancient tomb map. This map was absolutely not painted by Zixiao, after all, Wen Baiyu had seen Zixiao's painting skills last time...
Moreover, the handwriting is very ancient, using some characters he couldn't understand, presumably written by Xue Bai, with a very detailed topographic map drawn on it.
Wen Baiyu looked at this map, they had just come out of the hidden door in the main tomb chamber, and the largest tomb chamber ahead was the sacrificial altar.
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The python is a snake, snakes will always find a safe place to enjoy their food, it's possible that they will be in this tomb."
The little cart got up from the ground and said, "Let's go."
"Wen Baiyu said: 'Are you okay? If not, take a rest and we'll go rescue him.'"
The little cart shook its head and said, "In this tomb, apart from Xiang Liu, there are other ancient ferocious beasts that have been raised. If I stay here alone, I'll just become their food."
What he said was also right, and everyone could still take care of each other when they were together, so the three people chased forward.
There was blood everywhere on the ground, but when we reached the altar room, the trail of blood suddenly stopped.
Wen Baiyu looked around strangely and said, "Where's the blood?"
He finished speaking, and his first thought was, "Won't I be swallowed up?"
However, because of taking care of Zi Che's emotions, Wen Bai Yu did not say it out loud.
They walked into the tomb, which was very large and seemed to stretch on forever. In the center of the room stood a huge dan furnace, surrounded by many wooden racks that had completely rotted away, with some scattered on the ground, and many black dan pills had fallen off.
Wen Baiyu said: "Are these elixirs of immortality?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "If they really had an elixir of immortality, why would the tomb owner still die? And after death, let Xue Bo flog the corpse?"
Wen Baiyu thought that was right, perhaps these were trial products or defective products. He had heard that ancient elixirs contained large amounts of lead and mercury, with all heavy metal elements exceeding standards. Eating this stuff was equivalent to suicide, a very painful suicide.
Everyone searched around the tomb, but the blood trail ended outside and didn't branch out. Wen Baiyu took out the silk book again and examined it carefully. There was no hidden door here, and it was absolutely impossible for someone to suddenly disappear.
Just at this time...
"Drip......answer——"
A drop of blood suddenly appeared on Wen Baihe's silk book.
Wen Baiyu was startled, although the silk book had already been stained red with Zi Che's blood, but the bloodstain had dried up. There was no place that hadn't been carefully wiped by Wen Baiyu, and now this drop of blood was bright red and still glistening.
"Drip, answer——"
Another drop, Wen Baiyu's back suddenly tightened, saying: "Above..."
As soon as he spoke, three people simultaneously looked up, and in an instant, nine heads and eighteen eyes met in a stare.
Only to see the giant coffin lids were stuck on their heads like suction cups, tightly stuck on the top of the tomb chamber, because the tomb chamber was too high and they were attracted by the incense burner in front of them when they came in, so no one noticed the high tomb top.
There is blood dripping down from above "drip drip", without a shadow of Xue Bai.
The child's body suddenly shook all over, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to fire "bang bang bang" more than a dozen shots.
Wen Baiyu felt like he was going crazy, the sound of gunfire echoed in the tomb, producing a series of echoes. Most of the bullets hit Xiang Liu's head, as if calculated in an extremely short period of time. Although Xiang Liu dodged several bullets, the others were unavoidable, and suddenly a piece of blood fell from the top of the tomb.
Xiang Liu's attitude seems to be off, and he was hit by a car, apparently seriously injured.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Be careful, retreat afterwards."
He said, and went to pull Wen Baiyu, just heard "rumbling" a loud noise, Xiang Liu actually fell from the top of the grave, smashed to the ground, instantly appeared a deep big pit in the tomb.
The young man stood beside him, gripping his sword, his eyes red, his face expressionless. Suddenly he pounced, dashing towards the struggling Xiang Liu.
Wen Baiyu shouted and said: "Quickly stop him, this kid is courting death!"
Wan Kuang didn't move and said: "Xiang Liu has suffered a serious injury, he can handle it."
The child rushed up, the military knife made a "pa" sound, and Xiang Liu's skin was too thick, like armor, and the scales were layered on top of each other, making it even harder to stab.
Xiang Liu suddenly raised his neck to bite the child, but the child did not let go. It seemed like they were competing to see who could move faster. Then, Xiang Liu's hand made a swift motion, and the head that had been stretched out let out a loud "hiss" before rising up.
The child's dagger thrust into Xiang Liu's scales, his fingernails turned white, and then he slid down with force.
"Hiss——"
A loud roar, and suddenly the giant serpent was split in two, its nine heads shaking constantly before crashing to the ground, dead.
The child split open his belly, staring blankly at the bloody thing inside, then suddenly let out a breath and fell to the ground.
Wen Baiyu suppressed her nausea and walked over, peeking to see if there was any sign of Xue Bo. It seemed like he had vanished into thin air. Even if she had eaten him, Xiang Liu's digestive system couldn't possibly be that fast. Xue Bo must have escaped.
Zi Che's whole body was covered in blood, lying on the ground panting, Wan Kuang Jing Hou walked over and patted his shoulder, Zi Che lifted his eyelids to look at him.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "It's indeed the style of the Wan Xi family."
Wen Baiyu saw the approving gaze in Wan Jingshou's eyes and quickly pulled him, saying in a low voice: "Don't spoil him, he's only seventeen, not even an adult yet."
The little cart got up from the ground, and Wen Baiyu said: "It seems that your adoptive father has escaped, and before escaping, he was able to severely injure Xiang Liu. He shouldn't be a simple person. Where will he go? Can you guess?"
As soon as he said that, Ziche's face suddenly revealed a very sad expression. He smiled and shook his head, saying: "I have no idea, I don't know what he is thinking about, completely beyond my understanding."
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that he was really too lucky, and it was also being picked up and raised by others. His uncle and younger uncle were still quite good to him.
The little cart said, suddenly stunned, and immediately walked quickly outside, saying: "Go take a look at the burial place."
Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou followed up, although Zi Che was also the first time to descend this tomb, but his learning ability was very strong, after walking through it once, he didn't forget it at all, his steps didn't stop at all, and he walked towards the road with big strides.
Wen Baiyu asked softly, "What are you doing at the tomb of the deceased?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Do you remember where there is an empty coffin?"
Wen Baiyu opened his eyes wide and said: "Which mouth is his originally?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "He was bitten by Xiang Liu, he should have been seriously injured, and then wrestled with Xiang Liu, perhaps he is already beyond salvation."
Warm white feathered heart a mention, it turns out to be falling leaves returning to their roots.
They walked quickly and soon arrived at the tomb chamber of the burial, the altar had already cracked, a mess of broken stones, the heavy equipment used to press the coffin lid was also blown to the ground, fortunately the coffin lid was still intact, it's unknown whether the resurrection dumplings were pressed down again.
They walked in and saw that the last coffin was closed with a lid, but it wasn't closed tightly, absolutely not the way they left it.
The child was stunned for a moment, then ran over and pushed the lid open with one hand. Inside, he saw a person covered in blood, whose arm seemed to be broken, hanging limply in an unnatural position. There were large and small wounds on his neck, face, and chest.
The child's throat/throat slipped/moved, tears "slapped" down, and his hand trembled as he reached in. His body was icy cold, with no pulse at all.
He took a deep breath, covered his eyes with his hand, seemingly unable to withstand the blow, and his body swayed slightly as he whispered: "Dead..."
Wen Bai looked at the person in the coffin with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. His face now appeared gentle, slightly cold, completely devoid of the ruthless and merciless expression he had when alive. His pale complexion was covered in bloodstains, yet he looked incredibly peaceful.
The child took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, and suddenly looked as if he had seen something. He reached into the coffin and pulled out what appeared to be a piece of cloth from inside.
It's a bloody letter, the ink hasn't dried yet, it's very messy, and there are probably still bloodstains on it, smudging one side.
Letter from Zixia:
You have many questions, but I don't want to answer them for you. All I want to tell you is that seventeen years ago, your father wasn't a heartless person. When he looked at you, he also thought about giving up. But I couldn't get past my own hurdle. Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw were nightmares. In the tomb, I heard the sounds of my father and brother suffocating to death, while I survived by digging with my hands and eating corpses to fill my belly. Those days were too hard to bear. I never told you because I was afraid that if I softened, perhaps seeking revenge would become the only pillar holding up this monster that would never age or die. If I gave up on revenge, I don't know what other meaning there is to living. Ziche, your father is just a coward in front of you. You're a good kid, go now.
The dense and blurry handwriting, some characters were illegible, Zi Che grasped the letter tightly, tears burst out like a dam breaking, and a stifled sob escaped from her throat.
Wen Baiyu really can't bear to look at him, Zi Che's appearance is really too pitiful. In fact, it's also reasonable, he's just a 17-year-old kid, and when I was 17, I should be secretly admiring the school beauty and worrying about the college entrance exam, while Zi Che has already experienced life and death.
The little cart shook its head and said, "I'm fine."
Wen Baiyu thought to himself, how could nothing be wrong, his face turned pale, and he looked like he was about to faint at any moment.
Wen Baiyu said: "Zi Che, let's go. Your adoptive father is also returning to his roots. You still have bullets in your body and after we get out of here, we'll have to cross the desert before we can find a hospital. We can't afford to waste any more time."
The child shook his head and said: "I... just want to see him for a while longer."
Wen Baiyu really had no way to move/shake the rickshaw, looking at him enduring pain with a tolerant expression, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart, that kind of feeling, as if he could empathize, watching someone quietly lying in front of herself, lifeless.
Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly felt sour. Wan Jingshou stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Baiyu also felt inexplicable and said: "I don't know..."
Wan Kuang Jing Hou raised his head and took a look at Xue Bai in the coffin, suddenly furrowing his brow, as if he felt something was off.
"What's wrong?" said Wen Baiyu.
Wan Xi Jing Hou did not speak immediately, but walked over, reached into the coffin, and pressed on Xue Bai's neck, seemingly checking his pulse. Then he lifted up Xue Bai's fractured arm, pulling up the sleeve of his suit to reveal a bloody print with two bloodstained holes, which were slightly blackened, the marks left by Xiang Liu's bite.
Wan Ji Jing Hou suddenly said: "Carry him on our backs, let's go now. He was poisoned by Xiang Liu and hasn't died yet. If we slow down any further, he'll be dead for sure."
Zi Che was shocked and opened his eyes wide, immediately pounced on the coffin, pulled out Xue Bai from it, and carried him on his back. Xue Bai was still bleeding, and the blood flowed down Zi Che's neck and dripped onto the ground.
"Ah..."
"Ka ka......"
Just then, there was a faint sound twice.
"Bang!" A loud noise, followed by another "bang!", the lids of the two coffins at the very top suddenly flew open, which were the two coffins that had been exhumed earlier.
It seems that this should be Xue Bai's father and elder brother, but only Xue Bai knows whether it is true or not.
Those two mummies were making "heh heh" sounds with their mouths, crawling out of the coffins, their two big empty eye sockets staring at them eerily.
Zi Che was stunned for a moment, and then backed away with Xue Bai on his back. Xue Bai's figure was tall and majestic, at least a head taller than Zi Che. Zi Che had also been injured, and carrying him was extremely strenuous.
"Wen Baiyu said: 'Again... another corpse...' "
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It must be that Xue Bai's blood energy is too strong, the zongzi smells the blood energy and will revive the corpse."
"Wen Baiyu said: 'Then will they attack Xue Bo? Xue Bo is their own flesh and blood.'"
Wan Xi Jing Hou chuckled lightly, seemingly laughing at Wen Bai Yu's naivety, saying: "They don't even remember who they are, how could they possibly remember Xue Bo?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou finished speaking, and a strange expression appeared on his face. This sentence was actually what he felt deeply in his heart. Under the deep seal of the earth, after thousands of years of silence, they had long forgotten everything, remembering nothing at all.
Wan Xi Jing Hou turned his head and said to Zi Che: "You go first, we'll cover the back."
The little car didn't hesitate, nodded, Xue Bai was still bleeding, the smell of blood would irritate the rice dumplings, this wasn't a good thing, he had no use staying here.
The little cart immediately carried Xue Bai out of the tomb chamber.
Two dumplings saw the child's car about to leave, and their mouths made a "giggle" sound. They stretched out their hands and rushed over, as if they really wanted to pounce on Xue Bai's back.
Wen Baiyu felt extremely embarrassed, those were their relatives after all, but these zongzi didn't have any consciousness at all.
Wan Qi Jing Hou had a gun in his hand, and with a "bang", he fired a shot, which hit the ground in front of Zongzi. Zongzi seemed to be intimidated, took a step back, and did not continue to chase after the rickshaw.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou grabbed Wen Bai Yu, firing his gun as he backed away, saying: "Let's go."
Wen Baiyu nodded and followed Wan Qi Jinghou to retreat, just as they were about to exit the tomb chamber. Suddenly, two dumplings moved, rushing forward a few steps, one pouncing on Wan Qi Jinghou and the other on Wen Baiyu.
Wan Qi Jing Hou flipped backwards, using the momentum to kick the zongzi out with a loud "thud", hitting it against the tomb wall. The zongzi was dazed and stumbled back up, letting out a loud "giggle" as it charged forward again.
Wan Jie Jing Hou kicked the flying zongzi, wanting to help Wen Bai Yu, but that zongzi actually came back again. Wan Jie Jing Hou let out a "tsk" sound, clearly very impatient. Suddenly, he sprang up, stepped on the side of the tomb wall, and borrowed force to jump higher. When the zongzi pounced over, his two feet just happened to step down, pressing down on the zongzi's shoulders. Then, with a burst of strength from his lower body, there was a "crack... crunch" sound, and the zongzi thudded to the ground, unable to get up under Wan Jie Jing Hou's pressure.
Wen Baiyu saw Wan Jie Jinghou's movements, which were so handsome that the dumplings knelt down and couldn't get up. They stared blankly at once. The dumplings behind didn't dare to attack Wan Jie Jinghou, but instead found a soft spot and immediately pounced on Wen Baiyu.
Wen Baiyu's arm was grabbed by Zongzi, who leaned in with a dry face and tried to bite him.
Wen Baiyu was about to die from anger, Wan Zongjinghou raised his head and saw Wen Baiyu fighting in close combat with Zongzi.
Wen Baiyu lay on the ground, using her legs to kick away the zongzi, trying to get it further away from herself. Her wrist was already being gripped by the zongzi, with a faint bruise starting to form.
"White feather."
Wan Jie Jing Hou immediately thought of jumping up, but the zongzi kneeling on the ground seemed to know what he was going to do and stretched out his hand to grab Wan Jie Jing Hou's ankle, as if making a last struggle.
Just a brief pause, Zongzi's big face had desperately poked over, Wen Baiyu smelled a rotten smell, and his stomach churned with acid water, feeling that the pungent smell was corroding his own respiratory tract...
A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know what was wrong with himself either. It was that familiar feeling again, his chest was filled to the brim, as if flames were burning and running wildly everywhere, his eyes gradually turned into a ruby red color, his brain couldn't react in time, but his movements were faster than he thought.
Zongzi grabbed Wen Baiyu's hand, and as he did, it suddenly let out a loud "Kaka" sound. Wen Baiyu's hand then burst into flames, and upon closer inspection, it was found that his wrist was surrounded by a ring of fire, scorching Zongzi's hand.
The hands of the zongzi suddenly turned pitch black, and a pair of big hollow eyes met with the warm white feathers. Immediately fearful, it shrank back and ran away for its life.
Wan Xi Jing Hou kicked open the rice dumpling, ran to Wen Bai Yu's side, the other party's eyeballs were still blood red, the flames on his wrist gradually faded away and disappeared.
Wan Jie Jing Hou caught him in one grasp, Wen Bai Yu's body was scorching hot and slightly dazed. As Wan Jie Jing Hou's icy hand touched him, he let out a comfortable hum and fell asleep instantly.
Wan Xi Jing Hou checked on Wen Bai Yu and it seemed like nothing major was wrong, just that his body still felt a bit hot. He immediately picked up the unconscious Wen Bai Yu and strode towards the outside of the tunnel.
The warm white feathers were all blurry and confused, when suddenly someone shouted: "Hold tight to the rope, I'll pull you up!"
This voice is particularly familiar and a bit childish, is it Xi Qi?
Wen Baiyu opened his eyes and felt himself floating in the sky, he couldn't help but move a little. As soon as he moved, Wan Qi Jinghou discovered him and said: "Baiyu? Are you awake?"
Wen Baiyu rubbed her eyes and said: "Huh... why am I floating?"
He said, taking a closer look, he was still in the tomb passage, only the top of the tomb passage had been punched with a hole, and a rope hung down, tied to Wang Qi Jing Hou's waist, carrying him on his back, slowly moving upwards.
No wonder it's floating.
He exerted himself, and with a great deal of effort, he slowly poked his head out and shouted on top: "You two stop making harmony movements for now, wait till I pull you up to talk!"
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Soon, the two were pulled up, and to their surprise, there were still many people on top. Qi Hui, Zhong Jian, Peng Zi, Shen Lin, and even Lao Da, who was still unconscious, were all there, but they had all been injured.
The child is also here, and there's Xue Bai covered in blood.
Xue Bai was the most seriously injured among them.
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "First give him an antidote injection."
Wen Baiyu said: "Is antitoxin useful for Xiang Liu's toxin?"
"A dead horse is used as a living horse doctor."
As soon as he said this, Zi Che's face suddenly turned pale.
Wen Baiyu lightly kicked Wan Jingshou and said, "This person really doesn't know how to speak."
Because there were wounded men, everyone started treating Xue Bai in a flurry. First, they gave him an injection of serum and then stopped the bleeding.
All they can do now is leave it up to fate, they have to get out of this forest and desert to go to the hospital.
As we entered the forest, it started to get dark, and everyone began to set up their tents. It's too dangerous to travel at night in a place like this, even with markers along the way.
The child sat beside Xue Bai, who was still unconscious. His fractured arm had been treated and fixed, but his icy body temperature was slowly rising to normal. The blood transfusion seemed to be working, but he remained in a coma, with shallow breathing, and it was unclear if he could be saved.
Everyone was outside the tent, surrounding the bonfire to share their experiences, cooking and chatting while burning fire. They were all thrilling stories. Pengzi and Shenlin got two pieces of jewelry, which were already beautiful. Lao Da woke up very depressed because he had been waking up and scaring himself to death throughout the whole process, so he didn't even get a single treasure.
Because this was the first meal out of the ancient tomb, everyone decided to eat a bit more luxuriously, so they opened many cans of meat and cooked them. Wen Baiyu scooped up a portion with a lot of meat and wanted to take it into the tent for Zichuan, who had been taking care of the wounded inside the tent.
Wen Baiyu put down the bowl, just lifted/opened the tent, then gently put it back, retreated, and sat beside Wan Jinhou.
"What's wrong?" said Wan Qi Jing Hou.
Wen Bai's face looked a bit unnatural, and he scratched his lower jaw, saying: "Uh... I'll go in later, Xue Bo seems to be awake."
Wan Xi Jing Hou merely raised an eyebrow and didn't ask again.
Zi Che sat beside Xue Bai, staring at the top of the tent, seemingly in a daze, his eyes somewhat numb. One of his hands grasped Xue Bai's hand, feeling it change from icy cold to warm, as if by magic.
The little cart stared at the top of the tent for a long time, he still remembered when he was young, just understanding things, Xue Bai often picked him up and put him on his knees to tell him stories, Xue Bai was very gentle at that time.
Later, Zi Che grew up gradually, and Xue Bai never looked at him with a straight eye again. He found a master to train him, cultivate him, and teach him some ways to survive.
At first, the child cried. He didn't like this way of getting along, living just for training, but as soon as he cried, Xue Bai would look at him coldly and sneer, telling him that he didn't like children who only knew how to cry.
The child didn't dare cry again after that. The foster father didn't like him; it was a terrible thing to think about.
Later, Zǐ Chē discovered that as long as he completed his tasks, Yì Fù would become very gentle, praising him as a good child and obedient child, revealing a smile, and lightly stroking his cheeks. That strange emotion began to sprout in Zǐ Chē's heart, growing aimlessly.
He became reckless with his life, if he were injured, it would be even better if his adoptive father showed a concerned gaze...
The child thought to himself, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but it looked even more pitiful than crying. The corners of his eyes began to get wet, and slowly tears started to flow out, sliding down his raised face.
The child was still in a daze when his hand suddenly moved, it was Xue Bo who had moved.
The child's head drooped down, his eyes and nose still red, his face covered in tears. He just wanted to cry secretly for a while, anyway there was no one here, but unexpectedly Xue Bai woke up.
Xue Bai struggled to open his eyes, looked at Zi Che, and said in a hoarse voice, "What are you crying about? Good kid..."
The child's eyes widened in disbelief, breathing rapidly, Xue Bai opened his mouth again, and only said "Don't cry..." after a long while.
Zi Che hastily wiped away his tears, he just needed to vent out his emotions because there was no one else around, but unexpectedly Xue Bai saw him. Xue Bai didn't like seeing him cry, Zi Che felt a bit tense and ended up rubbing his face red.
Xue Bai looked at him and suddenly smiled weakly.
Xue Bai raised his hand, or rather, he raised his finger, signaling Zi Che to lean in closer.
Zi Che knew he had just woken up and was still struggling to speak, so he immediately lowered his head, but before he could even turn his ear, Xue Bai's lips had already brushed against Zi Che's.
The little car suddenly stopped in its tracks, took a step back and stared at Xue Bai in surprise.
Xue Bai revealed a weak smile and said: "I was in the coffin... thinking about many things... just didn't think that I could still see you again..."
Zi Che's pale face flushed slightly, as if he had made some decision. He suddenly leaned down and kissed Xue Bai's lips, a simple and pure kiss...
Wen Baiyu happened to see this scene when he came in, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
Xue Bai only woke up for a while and fell into a coma again. As time dragged on, his body seemed to cool down again, as if he was returning to the light.
When they rushed out of the desert, Zi Che also fainted. After all, he was also injured. Everyone sent the two to the hospital and happened to have their own wounds treated as well.
The bullet was removed from his chest with great difficulty, but fortunately there was no danger to his life and the operation was successful. He woke up that night.
As soon as he woke up, his eyes revealed panic. Wen Baiyu said: "You rest first, Xue Bo is still being rescued, it's definitely okay."
The child didn't say a word, even nodding was an effort, and soon fell asleep.
Xue Bai rushed to rescue for a whole day, and it wasn't until the early hours of the next morning that he was pushed out of the operating room. His condition was still very unstable, the snake venom was very overbearing, and the treatment was not timely, whether he could hold on or not was up to fate.
Zi Che got out of bed the next day, his recovery was very fast, and he was anxious in his heart. He stood guard by Xue Bai's bedside, looking at Xue Bai's pale face, without saying a word.
Just when everyone else had left, he kissed Xue Bai's lips.
By the fourth day, the doctor had given up all hope. Xue Bai's body was covered in fractures and internal injuries, his bones were pierced by shrapnel, damaging his internal organs, and he had been poisoned by a snakebite. Perhaps he would never wake up again, being a vegetable was already a relatively ideal outcome.
Wen Baiyu saw that Zi Che had been sitting beside him all the time and was afraid he couldn't take it, so he said: "You rest, I'll watch for a while."
The little car shook its head and said, "I'm afraid that when he wakes up, he won't be able to see me. Do you understand this feeling?"
Wen Baiyu was suddenly stunned by his question, this feeling, he seemed to have experienced it before, the helplessness and despair of Zi Che, he also seemed to have experienced it before, but when he wanted to say something, he couldn't utter a single word.
Wen Baiyu could only sigh and walk out of the ward. Wan Jingshou was outside and asked, "How is it?"
Wen Baiyu shook her head and said, "Not yet awake."
"Is the third bronze box open?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and took out something from his backpack, the size of a palm, which was an already assembled three-piece bronze ornament that formed a candle holder.
Wen Baiyu fiddled with it in her hand for a while and didn't find anything different, saying: "What's the secret inside? Can it save Tangzi?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "I don't see anything."
Wen Baiyu sighed and said, "Since Xue Bo has been searching for this thing all along, it's likely that he knows how to use it. And since he crawled out of the grave as a living person and lived for so long, he must have some secret to longevity. But saying these things is useless... Xue Bo is still in a coma now, without any signs of waking up..."
He said in a low voice, afraid of being heard by the people inside the car, "The doctor said that Xue Bai may not wake up."
Wan Kuang Jing Hou did not speak, but simply stared at the bronze dragon candle in his hand as if deep in thought.
Two people sat in the corridor outside the ward from noon to afternoon, and the ward was still quiet. Wen Baiyu and Wan Jinhao went to the hospital cafeteria for dinner.
The sky grew dark, and the child gave Xue Bai a basin of water, using a warm towel to wipe his body, then gave Xue Bai a massage. The doctor said that Xue Bai had been in a coma all along, unable to move on his own, and must maintain muscle mass, otherwise even if he woke up later, he would become disabled.
Zi Che was holding his arm, when Xue Bai's fingers moved slightly, Zi Che jumped in fright, his eyes widening with surprise as he stared at Xue Bai on the bed.
It just moved a bit and then there was no response for half an hour. The child gradually came out of the ecstasy, slowly sat down.
At this time, Xue Bai's fingers moved again, and the child suddenly stood up, staring at Xue Bai on the bed. His eyelids twitched, and after a long time, he actually opened his eyes.
The child held his breath, the man opened his eyes, squinted, seemingly unaware of where he was, looked around in confusion, and then fixed his gaze on the child.
The young master's heart was overjoyed, his voice trembling as he said, "Father?"
Xue Bai didn't say a word, just looked him up and down, seemingly thinking about something, before finally spitting out two words in a suspicious tone, "Zi Che?"
Wen Baihe and Wan Jijinghou returned from the cafeteria, only to see Xi Chi walking over, saying: "Hey, I've got two pieces of news for you guys. One is good news, one is bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu pinched her delicate face and said, "How did you learn to be so coy?"
He rubbed his own face, sat on the chair in the corridor, swung his legs, looking very leisurely, and said: "Forget it, I'll tell you the good news first... Xue Bai woke up."
"Really?!"
Wen Baiyu suddenly jumped up and was about to rush into the ward.
Xie Chi held him back, raised two fingers and shook them, saying: "The second is bad news... Xue Bai woke up, but he lost his memory."
Wen Baiyu was stunned for a second, then the entire corridor was filled with his roar, "Damn it!"
Wen Baiyu saw the nurse walking past and looked at him with a very disgusted gaze, suddenly covering her mouth, realizing she was too excited.
But it's not his fault, Wen Baiyu thought, this is like a duck that has flown into your mouth, someone tells you the duck is cooked, and then in the second sentence, but the cooked duck has flown away!
This feeling is really too...
The secret of the three bronze boxes, how to use the bronze dragon candle inside, perhaps only Xue Bai knows, but he has amnesia!
A mouthful of old blood from a white feathered head, neither up nor down, will choke itself to death.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Xie Chi shrugged and let them in, but he himself did not follow.
Wen Baiyu clutched at a glimmer of hope, perhaps Xue Bo was again plotting something with his deep and cunning plans.
After walking in, Wen Baiyu didn't even know how to describe her own mood.
Xue Bai had indeed woken up, and was extremely weak, leaning on the bed with his right hand in a cast and his left hand hooked up to an IV. He could only eat liquid food for now, and had to eat small meals frequently. The doctor said that it would be best if he drank rice porridge, which also provided nutrition, but he couldn't have any grains of rice, just the soup.
Now the situation is that even Zǐ Chē can't go cook porridge, so he had to ask Xī Chí to help him buy a bowl of porridge. Xī Chí "enslaved" Zhōng Jiǎn and went, and came back very quickly.
Handed the porridge to Ziche, Ziche opened the lid, used a spoon to scoop up the rice, scooped one spoonful, blew it to just the right temperature, and fed it to Xuebai.
Xue Bai furrowed his brow from start to finish, pursing his lips as if thinking about something, seeming to be pondering something, but never quite recalling it.
The child didn't say much, just occasionally asking if he was hot or hungry.
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a sense of despair, looking at Xue Bo like that, it seemed he wasn't pretending.
Xī Zhì smiled and said: "Ah, it seems that Xue Bai still quite likes Zi Ju's car."
"Wen Baiyu said: 'How did you know?'"
Xie Chi said: "Just now the doctor came to see him and said that Xue Bai was due to strong stimulation, so he temporarily forgot. He sealed everything he didn't want to think about, and only remembered Zi Che. What do you think? Does he like Zi Che?"
He said, "I myself think that Xue Bo can be immortal and find a way to revive Zhong Jian, but unfortunately, now nothing is known."
"You can still laugh?"
Xie Chi raised an eyebrow and said: "Heaven won't cut off a person's path, let's think of another way."
He said, just as Zhong Jian came out of the ward and said, "The IV bottle is empty, I'll go call a nurse."
Zhong Jian quickly called the nurse and came back, Xi Chi jumped up, patted the chair, and let Zhong Jian sit. There were only three chairs outside the ward, Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou each sat on one, leaving only one.
Zhong Jian waved his hand and said: "You sit down, I'm not tired."
Xie Chi pulled his sleeve and said: "The chair is too hard for people to sit on, you sit, and I'll hug you!"
Zhong Jian's face suddenly looked unnatural, he coughed and Xi Chi still held his sleeve and swayed, as if being coquettish.
Zhong Jian had no choice but to sit down, then Xi Qi quickly climbed onto his legs, sat down, nestled in his arms, and suddenly lifted her head, kissing Zhong Jian's lips once, as if launching a sneak attack.
Zhong Jian felt embarrassed but still hugged Xi Chi tightly, afraid he would fall off.
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu elbowed Wan Jijinghou beside him and said, "Why do I feel like Zhong Jian is raising a child..."
Xī Chí's ears were very pointed, and the warm white feathers "hissed" a sound, sticking out his tongue/head, saying: "You must be jealous of my youth."
Wen Bai Yu Xing said, "I'm still jealous of your youth? You're a young whippersnapper, several thousand years old, but you look like you're fifteen or sixteen. Only then do you look like a venerable elder!"
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said, "There are people who are eager for it like a sweet treat."
Wen Baiyu really can't bear to look at these two people being affectionate, Zhong Jian is spoiled by Xi Qi to the point of being in heaven, no matter how thick or thin Zhong Jian's face is, as long as Xi Qi acts coquettishly towards him, Zhong Jian will definitely surrender, making Wen Baiyu get goosebumps.
To put it simply, Xi Qi has suffered too much in this life. How could he bear to make Xi Qi unhappy? If Xi Qi was even slightly unhappy, he would feel heartache.
This sentence made Wan Kuang Jing Hou feel a sense of empathy, and he couldn't help but take another look at Zhong Jian.
After waiting for a long time, Wen Baiyu and Wan Xi Jinghou entered the ward. Wen Baiyu still didn't give up and wanted to ask Xue Bo.
Xue Bai has lain back on the hospital bed, changed a new drip bottle, and it seems that he will be infused for three hours.
Zi Che took care of him on one side, and the two of them hardly spoke. Zi Che himself was a man of few words.
Wen Baiyu walked in and placed the bronze dragon candle holder on the table in front of him, saying: "Do you remember this thing?"
Xue Bai just slightly furrowed his brow, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember."
Wen Baiyu was extremely disappointed and said: "Think again, this thing you care about so much, how can you not remember? For him, you even opened fire on the child's car. Something so important to you...".
He said, Xue Bo suddenly frowned, then looked at Zi Che and said: "I... I shot you?"
The child was taken aback for a moment, remained silent for a while, then said: "No, he remembered it wrong."
Wen Baiyu surrendered instantly, Xue Bo didn't remember anything. When asked about Zhu Long, he didn't know what it was. Huojing also didn't know what it was. When asked why he wouldn't age or die, Xue Bo looked at him with a gaze as if looking at a monster, as if Wen Baiyu were the patient...
Wen Baiyu said: "He really doesn't remember anything at all. It seems that the part about Zhu Long is also something he doesn't want to remember."
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "This is his self-protection, do you still remember that bloody letter? Xue Bai said that closing his eyes would make it a past event. If he didn't forget, perhaps he wouldn't be able to get through this hurdle. Sometimes, some people go to great lengths to find memories, while others are fortunate to have forgotten."
"What to do, Xue Bai is lucky/divided, can still be with Zi Che together, but we painstakingly brought out this bronze box from the tomb, how can it be used to save Tangzi? This looks like a bronze ornament."
Wan Xi Jing Hou patted his shoulder and said: "Don't worry, there's always a way. Xue Bai's condition has stabilized, let's head back to Beijing first."
Wen Baiyu nodded, his small restaurant didn't know what it was like anymore, would it have already closed down for rectification! That would be a huge loss.
Wen Baiyu bought a return train ticket and made a phone call to Yu Wei Yang.
Yu Wei Yang said: "Tang Zǐ had left the hospital a long time ago, and I don't know what happened in the past few days. The doctor said that his immune system was not good and he needs to pay more attention now. He is fine now."
Wen Baiyu said "oh" and said: "We're going back, is my restaurant okay?"
Yu Wei Yang said with a bad temper: "You still have the face to say, who has you doing such a thing, not leaving a partner, and harming me to look at the store and go to your restaurant as a partner. I tell you, my labor costs are very high."
Wen Baiyu smiled and said, "You still have to pay for your appearance fee."
Wen Baiyu said something irrelevant and then said: "Hey, help me check Xuelong and Huojing."
Yu Wei Yang said: "What's the point of investigating this?"
Wen Baiyu said: "Of course it's useful, you check these two related things, aren't you able to read ancient books? Hurry up and check, I'm going back to Beijing soon."
Yu Wei Yang: "......"
Yu Wei Yang fell silent for a moment, then said: "You think I'm one of your store's employees?"
Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "No, I thought you were a family member of my partner."
Yu Wei Yang suddenly fell silent, and Wen Bai Yu guessed he must be blushing.
Then I heard Tangzi's voice vaguely saying from behind: "Boss Yu, who are you calling? Why is your face red? I'm the jealous type."
Then Yu Wei Yang hung up the phone decisively, Wen Bai Yu laughed uncontrollably and rolled around on the train's bunk bed.
Wan Qi Jing Hou saw that the bed was shaking continuously, and he leaned down to look at Wen Bai Yu on the lower bunk, saying: "What's wrong?"
Wen Baiyu said: "Nothing, just bullied Rain boss a little bit, feels very refreshing."
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and suddenly said: "White Feather."
"Huh?"
Wen Baiyu felt a sudden jolt as if electricity was running through her body, and she couldn't help but feel numb all over. She hastily coughed and said, "What's going on? I'm trying to sleep. If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at him and said: "Do you still remember what was said in the tent that day?"
Wen Baiyu was taken aback by his words and couldn't think of anything for a moment, but when he looked up at Wan Qi Jing Hou's profound and mysterious smile, he immediately stiffened, definitely not something good!
Upon careful consideration, I suddenly felt a flush rise to my old face, and it turned out that they were talking about going all the way with what they wanted to do.
"Of course I remember, who's afraid of whom? You have the ability to come down, and now I'll take care of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to bite his tongue/head off!
Wan Xi Jing Hou moved slightly, then very naturally used both hands to push off from the upper bunk and flipped down.
Wen Baiyu's mind is now only spinning with one thought: it really came down... it really came down... it really came down...
Wan Xi Jing Hou flipped over and lay down beside him, then wrapped his arms around Wen Bai Yu, lowering his voice to say: "I didn't expect you to be so impatient?"
Wen Baiyu was on the verge of tears and said, "Pshaw, you're the one who's anxious."
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Mm, I'm anxious."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
When Wen Baiyu was speechless, Wan Jiahao had already tightly hugged him from behind and then stretched his hands into his clothes, one hand moving up and the other moving down.
Wen Baiyu suddenly let out a low cry, curled up her body, and felt the touch of Wan Jingshou's fingers. She lowered her voice and panted, saying: "That... that... can we stop for a bit first?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou's hand suddenly stopped, but this made Wen Bai Yu choke. He didn't expect Wan Qi Jing Hou to stop at such a critical moment. Wen Bai Yu's whole body trembled and he was thrown to the highest point. But that person suddenly let go of his hand, leaving him suspended in mid-air. The feeling was too unbearable.
Wen Baiyu couldn't help but take two deep breaths, calming her breathing, clenching her legs tightly, and enduring the uncomfortable friction.
Wan Xi Jing Hou put his chin on his shoulder, gently rubbing against his shoulder through the clothes, and said in a low voice, "Am I making you uncomfortable?"
Wen Baiyu's chin was rubbed by him, now even a slight stimulation could make him ejaculate, Wen Baiyu couldn't help but bite his teeth tightly, he must hold on.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Am I uncomfortable?"
He was asked by Wen Baiyu and had no choice but to say: "It's... it's not either."
He let out a sigh and said, "Is that you don't like me? But this is also to be expected, from start to finish... it was all me forcing you, never once asking for your opinion."
Wan Jie Jing Hou let out a sigh, and Wen Bai Yu's sense of guilt exceeded the limit, almost poisoning him with guilt! He twisted his heart and reached out to hold Wan Jie Jing Hou's hand, saying: "Of course not!"
Wan Qi Jinghou immediately blew a breath into Wen Baiyu's ear, startling him, and he said: "So, do you like me or not, huh?"
Wen Baiyu: "......"
It can't be any better, they lie on the narrow hard sleeper of the train and then discuss whether they like or dislike this topic, it's already awkward to the extreme, but what Wan Qi Jing Hou said is so natural, as if only he himself is awkward!
Wen Baiyu's face turned red with anger and she said, "You...you...aren't you just talking nonsense! You're so handsome and always flirting with people, who wouldn't like you?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I've never batted my eyelashes at anyone."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Is this the key? Alright, it's not flirting, it's electric, always buzzing around, but Wan Qi Jing Hou seems to think nothing of it.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "I just want you to like me."
Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Wen Bai Yu's chin, and Wen Bai Yu exclaimed in her heart: Oh no!
Wan Xi Jing Hou made him turn around, and the two people were very close, able to feel each other's breathing.
Wen Baiyu didn't dare to breathe, Wan Qi Jinghou's breath was cool, but when it sprayed on his face, it felt itchy. His legs were shaking violently.
Wan Xi Jing Hou asked in a low voice: "Do you like my face? Is it?"
Wen Baiyu was stared at by him like that, and listening to his low voice, suddenly her soul had wandered a thousand miles, being infatuated to the point of being dizzy, her eyes staring straight at Wan Kuang Jing Hou, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then nodded.
He nodded slightly, and it was clear that Wan Qi Jing Hou was no longer happy, his face sank, and he didn't hold Wen Bai Yu anymore.
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt inexplicable, and then saw Wan Kuang Jinghou turn around, with his back to him, saying: "You just like my face, Zi Che and I look the same."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu's heart let out a loud cry, damn it! This is the rhythm of eating vinegar!
Wan Qi Jing Hou is having a tantrum!
Wan Qi Jing Hou's temper is still quite big!
Wen Baiyu suddenly got a headache, so she gritted her teeth and imitated his previous actions, hugging Wang Jihou from behind and saying, "Hey."
Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't move, he just said: "What are you doing?"
Wen Bai Yu Xing said, "Aren't you asking a question when you already know the answer?"
"Hey, you turn around first."
Wan Xi Jing Hou said bluntly: "No."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "I don't want you to look at my face."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu couldn't help it, and in one breath said: "I was wrong, hurry up and turn around, I really like you, I swear to heaven! Besides liking your face, I also like your abs, you have no idea how many times I drooled over your abs, although you're a bit stinky sometimes, a bit pretentious, and a bit sulky when there's nothing going on... If I only liked your face, I would've bought a customized inflatable doll from Taobao long ago, and done whatever I wanted with it! I..."
He also said that Wan Qi Jing Hou had already turned around and then narrowed his eyes dangerously, saying: "Inflatable doll?"
Wen Baiyu: "Uh... this is just a hypothesis, I didn't buy it, which means it's not just that I like your face."
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at him with his eyelids drooping and said, "Then how do you want to go up?"
Wen Baiyu's face suddenly turned pale, he scratched his chin and stuttered: "I-I mean... it's also hypothetical..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly laughed and said: "You want to get on me? You can only drool at me, you don't even dare to touch."
"You actually look down on people!"
Wan Xi Jing Hou spread out his hands and gestured for them to proceed.
Wen Baiyu immediately pounced on him, it was a matter of dignity, then reached into Wan Kuang Jinghou's clothes and boldly groped his abdominal muscles, the feeling was indeed top-notch. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva to boost her courage, she stretched out her hand again...
Wan Kuang Jing Hou took a deep breath, and Wen Bai Yu immediately looked pleased with himself, smiling slyly as he said: "How's that? Admit defeat yet?"
He said, and suddenly felt something was off. Then, in the quiet night of the train, the two people hugged each other for mutual support, Wen Baiyu's whole body went limp, and he could feel Wan Jingshou's hand sneaking in from behind to press on a place that he had never thought would be used in his 26 years...
"Easy does it, I've never had to use this before... I'm so unlucky..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou lowered his head and kissed his lips, smiling and saying: "Don't worry, in a while if you still have the energy, you can come too."
Wen Baiyu rolled her eyes, Wan Qi Jinghou was not only the emperor of acting skills but also a heartthrob, he had already run out of energy, let alone after a while.
At this moment, something was thrown from the opposite side and hit Wen Baiyu.
Wen Baiyu was frightened and let out a muffled cry of "Ah......", then suddenly lost control again, staring blankly with no idea what had just happened.
Xi Qi poked his head out from the upper bunk opposite and said: "I've tolerated you guys for a long time, go back home, I want to sleep."
Wen Baiyu lowered her head and took a look, and what was thrown down turned out to be a jelly, still strawberry flavored...
Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't stop, hugging Wen Bai Yu and saying: "It's okay, let's continue."
He said, the train's big lights suddenly turned on, and then there was an announcement saying they were going to check tickets. Later, many police officers came in one after another, starting to check tickets and also checking ID cards, seemingly looking for someone.
Wan Xi Jing Hou was interrupted, his face looked very ugly. Wen Bai Yu let out a sigh of relief, if this had happened on the train, where would he go to clean up? After getting off the train, he still had to take another bus home, by then he would have been half crippled, how could he get home?!
Wen Baiyu saw Wan Kuangjinghou turn over and sit up, then pulled his sleeve and coughed, saying: "That... go back, go back and do it again."
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "So you want to be with me?"
Wen Baiyu glared at him with her eyes wide open, staring at him fiercely.
Wen Baiyu stared for a while, then saw the police coming over, and quickly pulled at Wang Ju's sleeve again, lowering her voice to say: "Do you have your ID?"
Just then, the police came over and asked them to show their ID cards. Wan Xi Jing Hou calmly took out a leather wallet from his backpack and pulled out two ID cards from it.
Wen Baiyu took a look and found that the preparations were quite complete. Wan Jingshou was indeed handsome, and his ID photo was also very handsome, looking very dignified.
The police quickly walked away to check on others. Wen Baiyu said to Xi Chi, "Ah, so you have an ID too."
He smiled complacently and said: "What's with that tone of yours? You sound disappointed. I'm an old hand at this."
He said, jumping down from the upper berth, Zhong Jian was startled and quickly reached out to hold him.
Xie Chi snuggled into his arms, lay on top of Zhong Jian and refused to leave, saying: "Those two were too noisy for half the night, I couldn't sleep. I want you to sing a song for me."
Zhong Jian said: "No... it's not good, I really sang out of tune and affected others' rest."
He said: "Then hold me and sleep."
Zhong Jian compromised this time and hugged Xi Chi, both of them lying on the lower bunk to sleep.
Wan Qi Jing Hou didn't go up either, and hugged Wen Bai Yu tightly. Wen Bai Yu thought that next time they bought sleeper tickets, one would be enough, two was too wasteful!
"What are those police looking for?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "So many local ruffians have come out to Gansu, I reckon the news has leaked."
Wen Baiyu was startled and said: "Hey, I'm not."
Xi Chi smiled and said: "I am."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu fell asleep leaning against Wan Kuangjinghou in the second half of the night, and when she opened her eyes in the morning, it was already 10 o'clock. After a while, they would be able to get off the train.
Wen Baiyu saw that Wan Jieying was still sleeping, and originally wanted to sneak up on him. However, thinking of Wan Jieying's usual style, he might be pretending to sleep, so he stared at Wan Jieying with his eyes wide open.
Five minutes passed and the other party did not wake up, ten minutes passed, and Wan Jiahui still did not wake up.
Wen Baiyu's eyes began to waver, a large piece of braised pork was placed in front of him, and he wasn't a herbivore, his saliva flowed all over the floor.
Wen Baiyu plucked up the courage, leaned over and pecked a kiss on Wan Jingshou's lips, which felt cool and refreshing. Most importantly, Wan Jingshou remained fast asleep.
Wen Baiyu's tongue/head kept sliding back and forth on Wan Jieying Hou's lips, slowly squeezing in.
"Hiss——"
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that Wan Kuang Jinghou had opened his mouth, and then bit his own tongue/head, although it didn't hurt, but he was startled.
Wan Xi Jing Hou had pressed down on his lower back, deepening the kiss. The two of them kissed as if they couldn't get enough, and when they finally lifted their heads, they saw Xi Qi leaning against her chin, staring at them with an expression that seemed to say she was watching a movie, complete with a bucket of popcorn.
Heh, I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic, Wen Baiyu. I used to think you were someone with a thief's heart but not the guts for it.
Wen Baiyu: "......"
After getting off the train, Xi Chi walked with Zhong Jian, and Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou took a car and went home.
Wen Baiyu originally wanted to go home directly, but she was too tired on the way, so she rested and then went to the small restaurant.
As a result, he walked to the entrance of the residential area and saw Tangzi leaning against the gate chatting with the security guard, with Yu Yang standing beside him, seemingly waiting for someone.
Yu Wei Yang saw Wen Bai Yu and immediately rushed over, grabbing Wen Bai Yu and saying: "I've investigated it!"
Wen Baiyu asked in surprise: "What did you find out?"
Yu Wei Yang took out a stack of paper and waved it, saying: "Didn't you ask me to investigate the Candle Dragon and the Fire Spirit? I really found some useful information!"
They stood at the entrance of the residential area, where from time to time an elderly man or woman would pass by with a small shopping cart, eyeing them suspiciously.
Wen Baiyu said: "Go home and say."
They got on the elevator, Yu Wei Yang excitedly stuffed the paper into Wen Bai Yu's hand and said: "Take a look, I found a lot of information."
Wen Baiyu lowered his head and looked at the stack of paper in his hand, to be honest, he felt that Yu Wang was intentionally humiliating him, otherwise why couldn't he understand most of it.
These papers seem to be rubbings and also have photos, mostly some ancient books, stone tablets and so on. Finally there is a rough sketch, which Wen Baiyu understood, seemingly a temple.
Wen Baiyu really couldn't understand it, so he handed it over to Wan Jijinghou beside him.
They got off the elevator and walked in, with Wan Qi Jing Hou browsing the words on it, frowning as if thinking about something.
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that she was indeed illiterate...
As soon as he entered the house, it was just like what he had imagined, a complete mess. What can you expect with a snake, a rabbit, a cat and a fish living together in the same house?
Wan Kuang Jing Hou sat on the sofa, carefully studying the words above, Wen Bai Yu sat down beside him, itching in her heart and said: "What is this after all."
Yu Wei Yang smiled and said: "Fire essence."
Wen Baiyu said: "I should know about Huo Jing, or should I let you investigate?"
Yu Wei Yang didn't sell Guan Zi, and continued to say: "I've checked a lot of information, the ancient definition of Huo Jing is diverse, some say it's a treasured sword, some say it's the sun, and even the alias of Fu Ling is also called Huo Jing..."
Wen Baiyu said: "That sun is more reliable..."
Yu Wei Yang shook his head and said, "There's still one more reliable person."
"What is it?"
Yu Wei Yang said: "Phoenix, fire essence."
Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Phoenix?"
Yu Wei nodded and said: "The phoenix is a firebird, this statement is also reasonable."
Wen Baiyu said: "It's still unbelievable, the fire essence held in the mouth of the dragon candle, isn't it the phoenix?"
Yu Wei Yang said: "I don't understand this either, but I guess the bronze dragon candle in your hand is related to the phoenix. Look at this mausoleum."
Yu Wei Yang pointed to the page that Wan Hou Jing had flipped over, on which was a rough sketch of a temple with clouds underneath, as if floating in the sky.
Yu Wei Yang said: "This is a friend of mine who was traveling and heard the locals tell it, according to the story, hand-painted and sent to me. It's said to be a temple, but it's built in heaven, so the locals haven't seen it either, but it's been passed down from generation to generation, called Huo Jing Ling Miao, this temple is for worshiping Zhu Long."
Wen Baiyu looked around and said: "Ah, there is a phoenix here too."
A phoenix is flying around the top of the temple.
Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and said: "Built in the sky? What does this mean, could it be that it's really built in the sky? This is also impossible."
Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly, "It's a kind of high worship. In the place closest to infinity and the sky, believers feel infinitely close to the sky, in order to better receive the blessings of the gods. This temple should be on a high mountain."
He said, and then turned his head to ask Yu Wei Yang, "Where did your friend go for a tour?"
Yu Wenyang said: "Mohe River."
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, Mohe... China's northernmost county.
Wan Qi Jing Hou listened and nodded, saying: "The ancient book says that the candle dragon appears on the cold mountain peaks in the north. Adding what your friend said about being built in the sky, it should be around that snowy mountain."
Wen Baiyu said: "This clue is too little, carpet-style search?"
Tang Zi said: "Besides, Boss Yu is not suitable for going to such a place."
Yu Wei Yang wanted to say something, but Tang Zi had already grasped his hand.
Wan Xi Jing Hou leaned on the sofa and said, "Actually, it's not a completely aimless search. Although the area is very large, it doesn't necessarily have to be in Mohe, but also possibly in the northern cold mountains or Changbai Mountains. Some people even say that Chulong was actually an active volcano observed by ancient people. If we follow this line of thinking, then the probability of it being Changbai Mountain would be higher."
Wen Baiyu let out a dejected sigh and said, "Alas, another possibility has emerged. How are we going to find it?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "Actually, Yu Wei Yang doesn't have to go, Tang Zi can also stay behind to take care of Yu Wei Yang. You've forgotten, we have a special official thief who is good at surveying the terrain, he should be more professional than us."
Wen Baiyu's eyes widened as he listened and said, "What delay?"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded.
Wen Baiyu called over Xi Chi, told him about the discovery. Xi Chi took the paper and looked at it for half a day, saying: "Alright, I'll go take a look, if I find anything, I'll call you guys."
Because Wen Baiyu's home was too small and there were too many things inside, Xi Chi took the materials and left quickly.
Wen Baiyu has been waiting for news these past few days, but the generalization of Hanshan in the north is too broad. Some say it's in Mohe, some say it's on Changbai Mountain, and others say it's in Datong. There are too many guesses, and Xiqi is easy to find.
Wen Baiyu was perched on the counter of a small restaurant, watching as Wang Qi Jinghou bustled back and forth with dishes. As night fell, many people came in to eat, but as soon as they entered, they would immediately turn around to leave. Wang Qi Jinghou would then say expressionlessly, "Welcome."
Then those people stopped running, found a seat and sat down nervously, under the gaze of Wan Qi Jing Hou they ordered a large pile of things, two tables were not enough to hold them, after eating just a few mouthfuls they ran away, leaving behind a pile of money.
Wen Baiyu had a bad premonition, wouldn't it be Zongzi running into his own store to eat again?!
Wen Baiyu hesitantly picked up the phone, he and Wan Jingshou used a couple's phone, exactly the same one, but ended up picking up the wrong one. Wan Jingshou didn't have a screen lock, as soon as he opened it, he saw an app on the home page...
Dragon Boat Festival Review Network
Wen Baiyu curiously clicked in, thinking that this was the software mentioned by the previous zongzi who came to the store. After clicking in and collecting it, she saw her own small shop, Shoufulou.

Dazhong Dianping Website - The First Food Review Website of the Ancient Tomb Circle
Wen Baiyu: "......"
What's with "you" / "thing"! Are you talking about yourself? And what's with "da ding ding", what ghost is that?!
Wen Baiyu didn't hesitate to click the complaint button, but he had forgotten that he was holding Wan Jingshou's phone, so it ended up being Wan Jingshou who complained about this comment. The website immediately deleted this protesting comment.
The objection is overruled, boss little brother is a big dumpling.
Wen Baiyu continued browsing the app with a huff, when her phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed it was Zi Che.
Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, had Xue Bo finally remembered?
He quickly picked up the phone and said, "Is that Zi Che?"
The little cart's voice was urgent, saying: "Wen Baiyu, there is a flame mark on my adoptive father's chest."
Wen Baiyu was shocked again, and it was flames! The evil spirit is really relentless.
"Zi Che said: 'What on earth is this thing? I've never heard Father mention it before.'"
Wen Baiyu said: "I'm not too clear either, but it seems to be related to Huo Mo. This thing is particularly evil, you'd better keep a close eye on your father."
The little cart said: "I know."
Wen Baiyu said: "Does he still think of nothing and come?"
The child's father sighed and said, "Well, he doesn't remember anything. His physical condition has recovered well, and he can be discharged from the hospital today. The doctor says that when he will regain his memory depends on himself."
Wen Baiyu murmured "uh-huh" and was about to continue speaking when a faint background noise came from the phone, sounding like Xue Bo's voice, saying: "Who are you calling?"
Wen Baiyu's mind flashed and he suddenly thought of something.
"The child said: 'I'm going to hang up.'"
Wen Baiyu said: "That... wait..."
"What's wrong?"
Wen Baiyu said: "You... how did you discover that your adoptive father's chest had flames?"
The child on the other side suddenly fell silent for a moment, and Wen Baiyu felt that her idea was correct!
Wen Baiyu said with a painful expression: "Xue Bo, you old rascal, you're only seventeen!"
The child was speechless for a moment, his voice somewhat unnatural, saying: "No, I... still hang up."
He finished speaking and hung up the phone. Wen Baiyu was even more heartbroken, and Zi Che's reaction absolutely confirmed that he had guessed correctly!
Two days later, Xi Chi came to find Wen Bai Yu, smiling and saying: "I've already found the general location."
Wen Baiyu said: "So fierce?"
Xie Chi said: "But I haven't found anything specific yet, I need to go back and take another look. I'm planning to leave in two days, are you coming?"
"Of course I'm coming!"
He said, looking at Zhong Jian and saying: "Hey, isn't Zhong Jian going to work?"
Xi Chi smiled and said: "Zhong Jian asked for leave, he didn't feel at ease with me going alone."
Wen Baiyu shook her head, feeling that Zhong Jian was being eaten alive.
It's as if... it were myself...
This sorrowful feeling...
Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou discussed it for a moment, and decided to drive there because they still needed to survey the area, so they could stop the car at any time, and having a car was also convenient.
Wan Xi Jing Hou prepared some equipment and set off three days later.
Xi Chi managed to get a large Jeep, Zhong Jian would drive, Xi Chi somehow got a driver's license, Wen Bai Yu said: "You look like a minor, how can you drive, don't get stopped by the police!"
Xī zhì threw him a small box and said: "Just take some motion sickness medicine and you'll be fine, don't throw up in the car."
Wen Baiyu suddenly pouted.
Zhong Jian drove first, and Xi Chi sat in the passenger seat chatting with him all the way. The two of them chatted and laughed, seemingly very happy, just like they were going on a trip.
Later, Xi Chi became sleepy and curled up in a chair, falling asleep like a little kitten.
Zhong Jian drove the car into the gas station to refuel, and then covered himself with his own jacket before opening the driver's door and fastening his seatbelt.
Wen Baiyu was particularly curious, crawling over and leaning against the back of the chair in front, patting Zhong Jian's shoulder.
Zhong Jian turned his head back and Wen Baiyu beckoned him over, saying: "I have a question to ask you."
Zhong Jian saw that he was mysterious, so he leaned over and whispered: "I'm asking you, you two... did you do that?"
Zhong Jian's face turned red as soon as he heard it, then looked a bit embarrassed, shook his head, and sat up straight to start the car.
Wen Baiyu looked at them with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, sat back down, pinched Wan Xizhou's arm, and said: "Zhong Jian hasn't even eaten yet, this is also too tolerant, really good self-control."
Wan Xi Jing Hou glanced at him lightly and said, "My willpower is also quite good."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu had taken motion sickness medicine, but it didn't work. She fell asleep on General Wan's lap and when she woke up the sky was extremely dark. They had already arrived at some unknown place. All she knew was that outside was very cold with a strong gust of wind blowing in through the car door, sounding like ghosts wailing at night.
Wen Baiyu sat up, shivered with cold, and found that she was actually covered in a down jacket!
He quickly put on his down jacket, hugged his arms and said: "Where are we? It's so cold. Is it still autumn now? My god, it's snowing outside!"
Xie Chi smiled and said: "You're making a fuss over nothing, aren't you looking for the snow mountain in the north?"
Wen Baiyu said: "Are we there yet?"
Xie Chi nodded and said, "It's almost there. This place is quite flat and can be driven in. You all guessed wrong, it's neither Mohe nor Changbai Mountain. However, this place is not far from Mohe, and it will take only half a day to get there by car. Yu Wei Yang's friend in Mohe heard this story and thought it was pretty reliable. Moreover, there are volcanoes on this mountain."
Xie Chi glanced at the outside scenery and actually opened the window, taking a deep breath. Cold wind poured in, mixed with large snowflakes.
Wen Baiyu's teeth chattered with cold, and Wan Jingshou held him in his arms. Wen Baiyu felt even colder! Everyone else could huddle together for warmth, but only with Wan Jingshou was it impossible, the more they hugged, the colder it got!
Xie Chi smiled and said: "The air is quite fresh, much better than Beijing, of course, also much better than the tomb."
Zhong Jian glanced at him, not speaking. He still remembered that Xi Chi had walked out of the grave. He lay in the grave, not because he was dead, but because he was tired. He had searched for two thousand years and found himself so many times, each time being feared, perhaps Xi Chi was indeed heartbroken, which is why he lay there waiting to die.
"Hey, let's stop the car, it's getting dark. We'll spend the night here, set up a tent and make a bonfire."
Wen Baiyu shook her head and said: "In the icy sky and snowy land, I'd still freeze to death in that tent. I'll sleep in the car."
Xie Chi jumped off the car and said, "You really have no feelings."
He said, rummaging through his backpack and pulling out two objects that seemed to be gloves, but were made of metal. At first glance, they appeared to be gold, but they didn't seem quite like gold, because gold is too soft.
It's like a claw-shaped thing, looks very luxurious, with gems all over it and repeated floral patterns, indeed in the style of Xi Qi.
Xie Chi put on two golden claws on the back of his hands, just like a pair of martial arts weapons, but there was only one.
Zhong Jian also got off the car, turned off the fire, and then took out the tent for overnight use from his backpack, set it up on the ground, and started pitching the tent.
Xie Chi turned around beside him, then saw a tree, stretched out his foot to kick it, and suddenly moved both hands. A golden light flashed, and the branches of the big tree suddenly fell down with a "rustling" sound.
Wen Baiyu's eyes widened in shock, it turned out that the golden claws were used for this purpose, and they looked very sharp.
Xi Zhi was not tall and very thin, carrying a large bundle of branches to come over, set up the fire, put the branches in order, and then lit the fire.
In a vast expanse of darkness, a flame suddenly burst into being, looking magnificent.
Wen Baiyu was also eager to try, so she pulled down Wan Qi Jinghou from the car and sat beside the bonfire. Zhong Jian distributed food to them. They had brought a small refrigerator in their car with many home-cooked dishes that could be eaten after heating up, making it feel like a picnic.
Wen Baiyu was eating chicken legs, his cheeks bulging, when he saw a light in the distance.
Wen Baiyu said "Huh?" and asked: "Is there light?"
Xie Chi squinted and said: "It's a car light."
Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "There are people coming here too? Can't be that they're rushing to the Huojing Temple, right?"
As they spoke, the light had already entered, piercing through the drifting snow. Indeed, it was a car, and that black car stopped right in front of them. Then the door opened, and the person who came out was surprisingly Zi Che.
"Son Chariot?"
The little cart also looked at them in surprise and said: "Wen Baiyu, what are you doing here?"
The passenger door also opened, and the person who came down was... Xue Bai.
Wen Baiyu said: "I was just about to ask you all, Xue Bo has just been discharged from the hospital, what are you doing coming to this deep mountain and old forest?"
The driver closed the car door and said: "I'm taking my adoptive father out for a spin, he says this area is very familiar, so we came over to take a look."
Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Familiar?"
Xue Bai didn't bother with them, but since he knew them, he nodded at Wen Baiyu and the others as a greeting. Wen Baiyu noticed that Xue Bai had been different since waking up - not as quick-witted as before, but always cold-faced, ignoring everyone except for speaking to Zi Che.
Xue Bai turned on his flashlight and shone it around, furrowing his brow as if muttering to himself, "Very familiar... but I, can't remember anything."
"Father, don't be too hard on yourself."
Xue Bai let out a deep breath, looked at the child, then took out a piece of clothing from the car and put it on him, saying softly: "You're wearing too little, your hands are cold."
Xue Bai was so concerned about him, Zi Che felt a bit uncomfortable. He tilted his head to one side, and Wen Bai Yu suddenly discovered that there was a red mark on the back of Zi Che's neck! Moreover, it was extremely fresh, absolutely recent...
