Chapter 116: Candle Dragon Well 6

  The reason why this tribe worships gold cicadas and candle dragons is actually similar, because they are drilled out from the ground/from below, drilled out of the soil, just like people can be reborn after death, this behavior makes the tribe's people extremely faithful.

  And this tomb, the master buried is not Candle Dragon, who would nail the master on a big tree? It seems that the owner of the tomb is likely to be another one who drilled out from the ground, that is Golden Cicada.

  Chang Suanpan said that the cycle and time refer to the cicada's molting cycle, but Chang Suanpan didn't understand it. He waited in vain for 20 years, not knowing that these 20 years were actually safe, while now is the most unsafe time.

  Everyone stared at the female corpse, which looked extremely terrifying. Her body was twitching strangely, and she held a yellowed paper in her hand. Her two eye sockets stared at them, but there were no eyes inside.

  The skin was slowly peeling off, perhaps the female corpse felt very itchy, she stretched out her hand to scratch her face, and with one scratch, a large piece of skin and flesh was scratched off, just like removing a scab, revealing the bright red flesh underneath, which scared everyone into taking another breath.

  Someone yelled: "Damn it! Where did this zongzi come from!"

  Everyone didn't dare to make a sudden move, perhaps the appearance of the zongzi was too strange, not like those headless zongzi, nor like those zongzi that were chasing after them. Everyone felt a sense of powerlessness that couldn't be solved with gun barrels, staring at the female corpse who was constantly scratching her own face in horror.

  The glutinous rice ball's face was all scratched up by itself, and although it was undergoing a miraculous transformation, it had no awareness at all. It just made "heh heh" sounds with its mouth, and whenever its face itched, it would use its hands to scratch. Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound, fearing that the slightest noise would attract the rice ball's attention.

  The female corpse clutched a yellowed paper, motionless, her empty eye sockets scanning the crowd, as she had no eyeballs, and nobody knew where she was looking or staring at whom.

  The female corpse and the crowd were at a stalemate for about five minutes, or rather, the crowd felt it was a stalemate. The female corpse continued to make low humming noises, scratching her own face as if she were sunbathing and itching at the same time.

  Everyone from initial fear and terror turned numb, squinting at the female corpse, watching what she would do next, but still not daring to make a move.

  The female corpse suddenly moved slightly.

  Everyone was immediately frightened stiff...

  The female corpse took two steps forward, walking very slowly, and didn't look at the crowd. Instead, she made a "heh heh" sound with her mouth, walking towards that huge Bodhi tree, scratching her face and neck as she went.

  The woman's face had been scratched into a bloody mess, and the "heh heh" sound in her mouth suddenly turned into a sharp, ear-piercing scream, like the call of a cicada, echoing in the deep pit, making it seem even more eerie.

  The female corpse walked towards the Bodhi tree, constantly making "squeak-squeak" sounds with her mouth. Wen Bai's white fox looked at the female corpse suspiciously, not knowing what she was going to do.

  Only saw the female corpse stretched out her arms, as if to hug the big tree, but the Bodhi tree was so wide and large, she must not be able to hold it.

  At this moment, Qi San Ye's hand suddenly moved, "slap slap!" Two iron eggs were thrown out and hit the back of the woman's head. The back of her head was instantly dented with two large holes, as if another pair of eyes had appeared.

  Qī Sān Yé's arm strength was astonishing, the iron egg hit and actually got stuck in the female corpse's skull without falling off.

  The crowd took a deep breath, and the female corpse was suddenly enraged by Qi San Ye's iron egg. It wildly shook its head, its hands still not transformed, still in a dry corpse state. With two loud "cracks", it pried the iron egg out of its skull and threw it to the ground.

  The female corpse suddenly turned its head, empty eyes staring tightly at the crowd.

  The female corpse looked harmless and didn't seem to have any intention of attacking, but Qi San Ye took the initiative to provoke her. Earlier, Qi San Ye said that everyone wouldn't live for long, these people already had opinions about him, at this time their opinions probably reached a boiling point.

  Someone scolded Qi San Ye: "You cripple, what good deed are you doing!"

  Qī Sān Yé didn't get angry, nor did he glance at the man. He just clenched the iron egg in his hand, narrowed his eyes and stared at the female corpse that was going crazy, saying: "The zongzi is currently undergoing a transformation cycle, its body is extremely weak, it needs to absorb the sap of the thorny locust tree to supplement itself. Once the transformation is successful, everyone here will die."

  He said, his eyes shifting towards Wan Qi Jing Hou and then to Wen Bai Yu, smiling as he spoke: "Including you two."

  What's wrong with you?!!

  Wen Baiyu seemed to think he had misheard, as there was only one large tree here. Cicadas wouldn't eat anything, they just absorbed the sap of trees as nutrition. Ye Liu also said that only by absorbing sap could they prolong their lifespan. Wen Baiyu had seen Ye Liu transform and before and after transformation, she was extremely weak and needed to supplement a lot of nutrients.

  This female corpse has a molting cycle, apparently also a kind of cicada, she needs to absorb nutrients, there is only one big tree here, so Qi San Ye's meaning is very clear, this is not some Bodhi tree, but a Tongmu tree!

  Wen Baiyu suddenly looked at the towering tree, its branches and leaves lush and dense, its roots complex and intertwined, looking exactly like a Bodhi tree.

  Actually, Wen Baiyu had been suspicious for a long time. Kunlun Mountain was so cold and gloomy, how could there be a Bodhi tree that survived? It turned out that it wasn't a Bodhi tree at all, but just looked very similar to one. They had never seen this species before.

  But how did Qi San Ye know all this?

  The female corpse was beaten, although extremely furious, but still did not immediately attack the crowd. Instead, she furiously threw away the iron egg, gasping for breath, shouting loudly, and then made a "squeaking" sound with her mouth, continuing to walk towards the thorny tree. This seemed to prove Qi San Ye's words - although the female corpse was furious, it was now in a molting cycle, extremely weak, and still wanted to absorb the juice first before trembling with them.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, suddenly rushed up, stretched out his hand and grabbed the shoulder of Zongzi, violently flung him backwards, and Zongzi was instantly dragged away from the thorny tree by Wan Jie Jing Hou.

  The female corpse moved away from the thorny tree, and a mad roar rose up. It seemed that this movement touched the female corpse's reverse scales. The female corpse's hands twisted backwards to grab onto Wan Kuang Jing Hou's arm.

  Wan Xi Jinghou's hand was forced to loosen, and at the same time, he fiercely lifted his foot and kicked it, kicking it right on the chest of the female corpse. The woman flew out in an instant and slammed into the tomb wall with a "thud".

  The crowd was in an uproar, not knowing what had happened. The female corpse let out a loud "Kakaka" and crawled up from the ground. This time, she didn't charge towards Tie Zhu and Wan Jie Jing Hou, but instead rushed towards the nearest guard.

  He was startled and didn't have time to dodge, "Bang!" He was knocked to the ground by the female corpse, who opened her mouth with yellow teeth and bit down on his neck.

  "Ahhh..."

  He let out a loud shout with his sharp hands, the sound echoing in the deep valley, producing an eerie echo that startled everyone.

  The person next to him immediately picked up the gun and fired at the female corpse "bang bang bang!" Several shots were fired in a row, but the female corpse's body was only constantly tilted, her mouth still biting the shooter's neck, refusing to let go. A large amount of blood spilled out, and a strong bloody smell rushed out.

  Cicadas themselves only drink the sap of trees, but once they have been fed blood, it's as if they've become addicted. Xie Lin was also a cicada that had tasted blood, and when she caught wind of the smell of blood on her hands, looking at the female corpse with bite marks on her neck, she suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented.

  Furthermore, in order to keep his body weak and avoid being controlled by the poisonous insects, he suffered from anemia and starvation. At this time, every breath was filled with a bloody smell that was hard to bear.

  Xie Lin swayed a bit, and Xie Yan immediately reached out to support him, saying: "Sir?"

  Qī Sān Yé's iron egg in his hand suddenly popped out, and with a fierce swing, all the iron eggs hit the female corpse's head. The female corpse's head immediately became like a beehive. Because she was crazily drinking blood, she didn't notice at all, even if she did, she wouldn't let go of her food. As a result, she was suddenly knocked flying by the iron eggs.

  Just then, a "hiss" sound was heard, and the hand let out a loud "ahhh" cry again. A piece of flesh was ripped from the neck, and the female corpse carried it in her mouth as she flew out and crashed into the tomb wall.

  He fell to the ground and kept rolling around, seemingly in pain. He covered his neck with his hand and felt it was all blood.

  "Quickly stop his bleeding, Zongzi will go mad if he smells the scent of blood."

  Although Qi San Ye said so, the people beside him didn't dare to come forward. After all, the female corpse was closest to Da Shou, and everyone was afraid of being affected by the misfortune. As for Da Shou himself, he was in so much pain that he couldn't get up and could only roll around on the ground.

  Wen Baiyu immediately rushed over, stretched out his hand to support the punching hand, and immediately pulled it back. Wan Kuang Jinghou wanted to help, but because the female corpse climbed up from the ground again, Wan Kuang Jinghou was afraid that the female corpse would sneak attack Wen Baiyu, so he swung his dagger and blocked in front of Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu pulled the injured hand over, Wen Lei and Wen Jiumu quickly took out hemostatic medicine and gauze. The wrist of the injured hand had a piece of flesh torn off, a bloody mess, really too frightening. Blood kept gushing out, the hemostatic medicine was scattered as soon as it was sprinkled on, and couldn't stop the bleeding at all.

  The taste of blood drove the female corpse crazy, unlike Xie Linxiao who had no consciousness, she didn't need to endure and immediately went mad, bouncing up from the ground and charging at him again, but Wan Kuang Jinghou blocked her path, the female corpse charged over, and Wan Kuang Jinghou swiftly swung his dagger in a slash.

  The female corpse let out a loud "Ah!" and her nose was instantly cut off by Wan Qi Jing Hou. Her body swayed backwards, taking several steps back, before crashing into the wall with a "thud".

  The white feathered one saw that the hemostatic medicine was useless, and fearing that the zongzi would be driven mad by the bloody smell, immediately took out a small bottle, which still had a few drops of egg tears inside, but it was really too little, and after shaking for half a day, only managed to shake some out.

  But the tears of the egg are very effective, basically one drop is enough, and the wound starts to heal immediately when the tear drops on it.

  The female corpse kept jumping up and pouncing upwards, repeating the same action.

  It seems that once they had tasted the flavor of fresh blood, they would no longer suck tree sap. The female corpse glared at them with a ferocious expression, her body seemingly extremely weak, having been beaten by Wan Qi Jing Hou to the point where she could barely crawl up from the ground.

  At this moment, the female corpse suddenly started convulsing all over her body, shaking violently, with spasms one after another, her teeth chattering "ga ga" and knocking together, making a "de de de" sound, which got faster and faster, until the "de de de" sound became a string of "de——", the female corpse started to thrash about, her body jerking violently, her back arched up like a bow, as if being constantly pulled and distorted, becoming more and more deformed.

  Qī Sān Yé looked at the female corpse, his face filled with disgust, and narrowed his eyes saying: "Time is running out, the transformation cycle of the zongzi is about to begin, let's go quickly."

  Wen Baiyu had undergone a transformation, just like Ye Liu's. Even if she restrained herself from eating or drinking, she would only become weaker, and the transformation would still come. It seemed that the female corpse's transformation cycle was about to arrive, and no one could stop it. The female corpse had already begun to react, and even if she didn't drink tree sap or human blood, she would start transforming soon. Time was running out.

  Everyone seems to be waiting for someone to shout "Charge!" or "Run!", and then they immediately rush in like a landslide on all sides, just like deserters on the battlefield.

  Someone shouted: "There is a way over here! There is a way over here! There is a tomb passage!"

  He shouted, and immediately many people rushed over. Indeed, there was a tomb passage, but it couldn't be called a tomb passage because it was too narrow. The female corpse might have crawled out from here. No matter how scary the female corpse was, she was still a woman, with a smaller build than all of them. These rural men were all tall and strong adult males, and they would probably need to use some effort to crawl in along the passage.

  The female corpse lay on the ground, convulsing continuously, her teeth chattering "de de de", and no one tried to stop them, perhaps she had already entered an unconscious stage.

  One by one, the crowd crawled in along the narrow passageway, desperately squeezing forward. The tall and strong had to lower their heads with great effort, almost scraping against the ground, their legs straightened out like they were doing push-ups, using their toes to scrape against the ground as they crawled forward. This movement was too difficult, especially since the passageway was very long, making them wish they were dead. However, inside the passageway, there were only sounds of heavy breathing, and no one stopped, but instead continued crawling at an extremely fast pace.

  They were a group of twenty people, and now there were only over ten people left. Everyone rushed to drill into the tunnel, with Wan Jiahao preparing to cover the bottom. Wen Baiyu let Wen Sui and Wen Jiuyi go in first, then Xie Yan and Xie Lin also drilled into the tunnel.

  Wen Baiyu turned around and found that there were fewer people. Qi San Ye and Xiao Hu Li hadn't entered the tunnel, but instead were still beside the giant tree.

  Wen Baiyu shouted at them, but Qi San Ye said: "You go first."

  Wen Baiyu thought: Has Qi San Ye gone mad?

  The female corpse on the ground kept "ding ding ding" convulsing, getting faster and faster, almost like epilepsy. Wen Baiyu had seen the transformation of Ye Liu Xiang and Xie Lin Wan's two cicadas, but neither was as terrifying and exaggerated as this.

  The female corpse was trembling, but Qi San Ye didn't run away. Instead, he stretched out his hand to grab the dragon tail nailed to the wooden stake. The dragon tail had an iron chain on it, and the thick iron chain was wrapped around the tree trunk.

  Wen Baiyu looked at Qi San in surprise and said: "Is he crazy? He still wants to take the dragon tail at this time?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "No, that's his own tail."

  Wen Baiyu was stunned for a moment, and then saw Wan Jingshou suddenly rush over to help. Wen Baiyu also rushed up, and Wan Jingshou had already taken out the dragon-scale dagger. The dagger cut through iron like mud, "pa!" It chopped down on the iron chain, and the chain immediately broke.

  Wen Baiyu watched them remove the iron chain, then turned his head to look at the female corpse on the ground. The corpse's trembling speed had actually slowed down, and the "ding ding ding" sound became "ding... ding...".

  Wen Bai Yu was in a hurry, also twitching his Phoenix Bone Finger, helping to pry open the iron chain on the wooden beam. The iron chain was very thick and difficult to pry open.

  Wen Baiyu looked at this thing, such a big snake tail, even if they took it down, they couldn't bring it into the cave.

  The little fox was getting anxious and said: "It's too late, it's too late..."

  As soon as his voice fell, the female corpse on the ground suddenly made a "squeak" sound, and it was no longer trembling. A piece of dry skin fell to the ground, and a woman crawled out from under the skin. Her face was red and swollen because she had been scratching, with blood all over her face. If there were no redness and blood, it seemed like a very beautiful face.

  The female corpse sprang up from the ground with a "huh", her back still arched, and at the position of the butterfly bone on her upper back, two white bones protruded, but no wings had grown out.

  The female corpse jumped up, as if still unconscious, without eyeballs, with empty eye sockets that could see the blood and flesh inside.

  "Wen Baiyu's throat suddenly tightened as she said, 'She...she didn't transform, did she? Why is she still like this?'"

  Qī Sān Yé said: "This dumpling needs to molt seven times in total to complete its transformation, and its wings and eyes have not grown out yet, it should be the fifth time."

  They spoke as they quickly pried at the iron chains, which were complex and intertwined. The female corpse sprang up from the ground, and Wen Baiyu's palms were covered in sweat. "No more, no more! She's getting up, I'll go block her!"

  Wen Baiyu was about to rush over, but Wan Jingshou stretched out his hand to stop him. Before he could speak, Wan Jingshou's backpack moved slightly, and a small feather suddenly poked out from inside. It opened its beak and glared at the female corpse with anger.

  Wen Baiyu felt that his family's big fur was about to unleash its fiery power. Big fur is a positive body, and when it makes a sound, it comes with red eyes, indicating that the yang energy in its body has reached an extreme point. Although big fur looks very cute, its power is actually extremely great.

  Just as Wen Baiyu thought Da Mao was about to show off his skills, Da Mao opened his mouth and was stunned for two seconds, blinked his big eyes, then suddenly "coughed" twice, as if he had been choked...

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu let out a muffled cry, then stretched out her hand and hugged Damao back, rolling backwards quickly while withdrawing. The female corpse had already pounced over, its movements extremely fast, grabbing Wen Baiyu's ankle.

  Wen Baiyu's heart tightened, the female corpse's hand was like a claw, grasping his ankle, her fingernails all sank in, her mouth opened wide as if to bite his leg.

  At this time, the small feather poked its head out of Wen Baiyu's arms, opened its mouth and let out a loud whoosh. A huge flame suddenly shot out, spraying directly onto the female corpse's face.

  The female corpse was immediately surrounded by a raging fire, and her mouth let out a "hiss-hiss" scream.

  Wen Baiyu felt his ankle relax, and he immediately stretched out his leg to kick the woman's corpse's hand away. Then, he quickly rubbed himself a few times in the back. The small flame was too big, and Wen Baiyu's pants almost got burned by the sparks.

  Wen Baiyu hugged Xiao Yuema quickly jumped up from the ground, the female corpse was surrounded by flames, seemingly afraid of the flames, rolling on the ground non-stop.

  With a "crack", Wan Xi Jing Hou's dragon-scale axe finally pried open the last iron chain, and the massive snake tail fell to the ground with a loud "thud".

  Qī Sān Yé looked at the snake's tail and reached out to touch it, a faint smile spreading across his face.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Let's hurry up, but this thing is so big, how can we drag it into the cave?"

  "Never mind dragging him in, does your little guy have any more tears left?" said Qi San Ye with a smile.

  Wen Baiyu was stunned for a moment, the bottle was already empty, but shaking it seemed like there was still some left. Qi San Ye smiled and said: "One drop is enough."

  He said, and dripped the tears in the bottle onto the tail of the candle dragon.

  The red dragon tail suddenly burst out with a fiery glow, and everyone immediately narrowed their eyes. The huge dragon tail disappeared in the light, and at the same time, Qi San Ye took a deep breath, slowly pushed his hands against the ground, and stood up from the ground.

  The little fox looked at Qi San Ye with surprise, and Wen Bai Yu also had some differences.

  This tail actually belongs to Qi San Ye, and Qi San Ye is also a Candle Dragon!

  Qī Sān Yé saw Wēn Bái Yu's surprise and made a hand gesture, saying: "Let's walk and talk."

  He said, looking back at the female corpse surrounded by flames, his eyes narrowed, and the iron egg in his hand was thrown out fiercely. The female corpse was hit, "Whoosh——" flew up, like a fireball, rushing straight towards the giant tree. The huge tree suddenly burst into flames, burning violently.

  The flames were too fierce, as if the sparks had fallen into the oil groove, along the trunk, and rushed up, "whoosh" a huge fire dragon engulfed the entire towering tree.

  Wen Baiyu stared at the tree in shock and said: "Isn't this a Mu Tong tree? It can cure Mu Tong poison, why did you burn it?"

  "Third Master Qi said: 'This tree is useless, let's go quickly, the burial is about to catch fire,' he said as they walked."

  Qī Sān Yé said, grabbing the little fox and letting it go into the tunnel first. The little fox's body was very small, and it went in with ease. Qī Sān Yé also immediately followed in.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou let Wen Bai Yu go in first and covered behind him.

  Because Wan Jie Jing Hou was too tall, it was a bit of a struggle to drill through this hole. So the backpacks of the little guys were carried by Wen Bai Yu. Wen Bai Yu was grateful for her figure for the first time, at least she didn't have as much difficulty crawling like Wan Jie Jing Hou.

  The crowd's speed was not slow, and they quickly crawled inside. After crawling for nearly five minutes, the woman's screams and the sound of flames burning could no longer be heard, but a faint feeling of heat could still be felt behind them, probably due to the large size of the flames.

  Wen Baiyu was a bit out of breath and, in order to divert attention and also out of curiosity, said: "Qi San Ye, can you tell us the whole story now?"

  Qī Sān Yé smiled and began to tell Wēn Bái Yuè about the tomb, saying: "Actually, your guesses are not wrong. This is a tomb of the Western Queen Mother's country, representing the highest power, it is the queen's tomb, but it is not the Western Queen Mother's, just one of the queens."

  The story is actually very long, the country of the Queen Mother of the West developed greatly, and it's said that this was due to two magical treasures. These two treasures represent wealth and eternal life. Just think about it, if all the people in the country of the Queen Mother of the West can have wealth and eternal life, who wouldn't want to surrender?

  With these two treasures, the Western Queen Mother's country developed rapidly and conquered many surrounding countries. This was all known to Wen Baiyu and others, and Gan Zhu also translated it.

  Queen Mother of the West said, "However, it soon became apparent that these two treasures also had a downside - human greed. People began to devise all sorts of greedy methods for them, and her subjects also started to become greedy."

  The Queen of the West needs to use these two treasures carefully, after all, a sword is double-edged, and if not handled properly, it may harm herself.

  Later, the Queen Mother of the West realized the problem of greed and drew a map of the storage location of these two treasures on the wooden stake of the catalpa tree. The wooden stake was divided into seven shares, put into seven coffins, and handed over to the seven spirits of the catalpa tree for guarding.

  Because the seven spirits were subdued by the Queen of the West, they were extremely loyal, and the Seven Souls were always very safe. Although many people wanted to find these two treasures, no one could find the Seven-Mouthed Coffin/Coffin.

  Uncle Qi San had now told them everything they already knew.

  However, later on, the Western Queen Mother's kingdom continued to develop and there were several queens who only possessed the prosperity of the Western Queen Mother's kingdom but not the two treasures of that year. The one buried at the bottom of the well was one of those queens.

  The queen began to look for the two magical artifacts that represented the national interests of the Western Queen Mother. Soon, she found two coffins, which were actually the two spirits of the deceased. However, the seven spirits of the deceased were buried in seven different places. The three souls represented the yang energy, while the seven spirits represented the yin energy. Without the three souls, it was impossible to gather the yang energy. The coffins that were buried were like shapeless dumplings, devoid of consciousness.

  The queen only got two coffins, and the soul of the dead man was unconscious, so it was impossible to tell her where the other five coffins were.

  "Queen thought of a wonderful way at this time," said Qi San Ye with a smile.

  They drilled in the tunnel, a piece of blackness, Qi San Ye's voice came over, "What method?" Wen Bai Yu said.

  "Queen Xi Wangmu said: 'It's just a corpse. The Western Queen Mother's country worships the golden cicada and the candle dragon, because they all came out of the earth, symbolizing eternal life and power. Each generation of the Western Queen Mother's country, the queen is not elected by the people, nor is she chosen by the queen herself, nor is it a hereditary monarchy, but rather chosen by heaven. They believe that only the person who comes out of the earth can lead their country.'"

  "That's not zongzi?"

  "Alternatively, you could say it's a rice dumpling, but in fact, it's a cicada. Their metamorphic cycle is extremely long and requires seven transformations to complete the true transformation. After each transformation, their strength becomes even more powerful."

  The queen is transformed, and after the seventh transformation, they have a clear consciousness. So the queen thought of this method to raise the dead, using the cicada shell of the golden cicada to nourish the spirit of the coffin, wanting to transform the coffin and raise three souls, having their own consciousness.

  After the five coffins acquired their own consciousness, the other five coffins were easily solved.

  Queen discovered these two coffins, you have all seen them. In order to raise the corpses, she had people move these two coffins to a place where it is easy to raise corpses. One was on Mount Kunlun and the other was in a stone cave near Mount Kongtong.

  Wen Baiyu was even more shocked, it turned out that the tomb on Mount Kunlun was actually a nurturing tomb for corpses, done by the Queen of the Western King Mother's country in order to re-find two treasures.

  Qī Sān Yé coldly laughed and said: "However, it's a pity that after the queen did all these things, the two spirits of the earth didn't succeed in nurturing the corpse. Her time was up. The queen needed to return to the soil, undergo metamorphosis, and then emerge from the ground again to enjoy rebirth. That's why there is this well-bottom tomb."

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, the queen hadn't succeeded in cultivating her corpse yet, then she died and was buried at the bottom of the well tomb waiting for transformation and rebirth. However, they accidentally entered the Kunlun Mountains' tomb, destroying the corpse cultivation. The ghostly energy of the coffin had been disrupted and hadn't fully formed, but it already possessed its own consciousness. This consciousness, due to being nourished by many yin evil things, also began to go off track, deviating and slipping out of the tomb.

  The coffin in the stone cave was also opened, and another soul was in the same situation. The two souls merged together, and it's likely that they want to swallow other souls.

  Qī Sān Yé said: "Xiè Yuàn should also be one of the ghosts, he has a wooden plaque on his body, I'm afraid those two ghosts want to swallow Xiè Yuàn."

  Wen Baiyu's mind is now in a mess, Xie Yun is one of the souls, no wonder Wan Qi Jing Hou said when he first saw Xie Yun and Xie Lin that one of them must be a zombie. So how come Xie Yun and Luo Qifeng look exactly alike? Is Luo Qifeng also one of the souls? But Luo Qifeng is alive, has yang energy.

  Wen Baiyu was silent for a moment, sorted out his thoughts and said: "So what about you? And that Tuo Mu tree."

  "Qī Sān Yé said: 'The Dìng Lóng tree is very simple, I want to burn it because it's an evil tree, not a real Dìng Lóng tree. The Dìng Lóng tree only has one trunk, and it's extremely difficult to grow. It's very mysterious, both poisonous and medicinal, and also an antidote. Because it's a slow-acting poison, it can kill people without them realizing it, making it even more terrifying than instant poisoning. You've all noticed that the Dìng Lóng poison can be controlled, causing confusion and a loss of self-control.

  In the past, the Western Queen used this Dìng Lóng poison to conquer many countries, never failing. However, she soon realized that this poison also had its advantages and disadvantages. Fortunately, there's only one Dìng Lóng tree, so the Western Queen ordered it to be burned down, using the remaining wooden stakes as Dìng Lóng wooden plaques, which are placed in the seven-mouthed coffins.

  It can be said that except for these seven wooden plaques, there is no antidote for the Dìng Lóng poison today. To cure the Dìng Lóng poison, you must use the seven wooden plaques to form a complete wooden stake, and even then, the quantity of the stake must be just right.'"

  "What about that tree just now?"

  "Consider it a kind of grafting technique, the Queen Mother of the West wanted to separate the poison and antidote, but failed. This tree has the appearance of a thorny tree, is also poisonous, but not an antidote."

  Qī Sān Yé paused for a moment and said: "When you were on the tree, didn't you get scratched?"

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback, and immediately quickly lifted his arm, his forward crawling motion suddenly stopped, using a flashlight to shine on his own arm.

  There are really green stripes on my arm.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but take a deep breath and let out a "hmm".

  Wan Qi Jing Hou heard Qi San Ye's words and immediately furrowed his brow, reaching out to grab Wen Bai Yu's ankle, saying: "Bai Yu?"

  Wen Baiyu stared at his arm, the green flower pattern was not much, and he had been scratched by a branch at that time, but he didn't see any blood. However, he didn't notice that his arm had already curled up with this poisonous snake's venom.

  Don't worry, because it's a grafted tree, this toxin is actually very mild and won't be controlled by humans, it's just a chronic poison, it won't break out immediately. If you find the wooden sign, this toxin can be completely cleared.

  Although Qi San Ye said so, Wen Bai Yu couldn't help but worry. First it was Hun Dun, then Xie Lin Luan, and now she had been poisoned herself. It seemed that finding the remaining wooden plaques was imperative.

  "Have I answered all your questions now?" said Qi San Yeye.

  "Actually, you must be wondering how I know all this so clearly? It's because I've lived for too long, to the point where I can no longer remember my own age."

  Zi San Ye is a candle dragon, he indeed is a candle dragon.

  Candle Dragon is the god of creation, they are very rare and have been hunted to near extinction. When he emerged from underground, he was not hunted but instead treated with courtesy.

  The Western Queen Mother's kingdom worships the candle dragon, and Qi San Ye is a candle dragon that can bring them good fortune, so he should be treated with courtesy. However, just as the tomb was completed, the queen wanted to give herself the best things for burial.

  The dragon was buried under the well tomb, people's wisdom and technology were also promoted in greed. Although Qi San Ye is a dragon, humans can create gods, of course, they can also kill gods. They used iron chains to nail the dragon to the grafted tree, using the dragon to bury the queen alive.

  The power of the dragon is very great, especially the fire essence. In order to prevent the dragon from destroying the tomb, they took away the fire essence and placed it in the queen's coffin for burial.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou couldn't feel the breath of his peers for two reasons: one, Qi San Ye had broken legs; two, Qi San Ye didn't have fire essence.

  "I recall being in the tomb for a long time, and every time she molted, she would crawl out of this passageway and drink the sap/liquid of the thorny tree. Later on, she was no longer content with just drinking the sap/liquid of the thorny tree, and began to pry off my scales, wanting to drink dragon blood... I was locked in the dark tomb for who knows how long, unable to do anything but watch her crawl out and transform again and again. Eventually, I really couldn't bear it..."

  Qizhisan's memories slowed down, and Wen Baiyu couldn't help but shiver. Then Qizhisan said: "I twisted off my own snake tail, became a cripple, and crawled out of the tomb inch by inch...Wen Baiyu, didn't you ask what those scratches on the well wall were when we were at the bottom of the well? I'll tell you, they were made by me when I was climbing up."

  Wen Baiyu was a bit shocked, they were crawling forward in the corridor, Wen Baiyu couldn't see Qi San's face and didn't know what expression he had, but Qi San's tone was very calm, no different from usual.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't imagine what it would be like to twist off his own leg...

  "Slowly, Qi San Ye said: 'I heard someone wants to descend into this cauldron, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to come and have a look. Maybe I can get back my own leg or the fire essence. Who would have thought I'd run into you guys?'"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly said: "I can help you get back the fire essence."

  Qī Sān Yé's voice paused for a moment, then said: "What are the conditions?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly: "The condition is that you have to help us find the remaining wooden plaques."

  Qī Sān Yé laughed and said: "Why? I'm a candle dragon without fire essence, isn't that equivalent to being disabled? Do you think I'd be more reliable at making iron beads?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Because you know a lot, and soon you won't be useless either."

  Qī Sān Yé laughed and said: "You're so confident that you can help me retrieve the Fire Essence?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou simply said: "I promised things, will definitely be done."

  Qī Sān Yé smiled again, seemingly approving of Wàn Xī Jǐng Hóu's attitude.

  Four people crawled forward, this path was too long and narrow, or perhaps not too long, but because it was very thin and difficult to climb, they drilled all the way forward, after a long time, the little fox shouted: "There is a road ahead!"

  The little fox said, its body leaned forward and suddenly drilled out.

  Right behind him, Qi San Ye also crawled out. Wen Bai Yu crawled out and took a deep breath, while Wan Kuang Jing Hou quickly crawled out as well.

  After Wan Xi Jing Hou came out, he immediately reached out to grab Wen Bai Yu's hand, lifted his sleeve, and on Wen Bai Yu's forearm was a green floral pattern that looked like a tattoo. On his fair arm, it revealed a hint of seductiveness, the green color was not deep, and the pattern was not large either.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou furrowed his brow and asked: "Does it hurt?"

  Wen Baiyu shook her head and said, "I didn't even notice."

  "Alright, let's go. It's only a matter of time before we find the wooden sign anyway. He was poisoned lightly and it's a slow-acting poison, so there's no need to worry."

  Qī Sān Yé said, leading the way to one side, and as soon as he emerged from the tunnel, he connected with the path of the tomb. However, inside the tomb path was empty, and those people who had previously emerged were nowhere to be seen.

  Wen Baiyu looked around with her flashlight and said, "It's strange, why is there no one?"

  The little fox twitched its nose and said, "Those who are afraid can run away now?"

  Wen Bai Yu frowned and said: "Impossible, they must have encountered something, otherwise my two uncles would never leave without me."

  As soon as Wen Baiyu finished speaking, a loud cry of "Ah!" came from the tomb passage. Wen Baiyu immediately opened his eyes wide and beckoned: "Hurry up and leave!"

  The crowd rushed into the tomb passage quickly, and saw a chaotic scene. There were many headless dumplings in the tomb passage, rotten and messy, attacking people in the team. Many people were injured. Those headless dumplings were actually white-skinned dumplings with paralyzing sticky liquid on their bodies. Although they weren't very powerful, as soon as they were hurt, they would become paralyzed immediately, which was also very troublesome.

  "Those headless zongzi are all fertilizers for that fake jujube tree, the heads were cut off for worship, and the bodies were used as fertilizer."

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but shudder, what kind of divine tree is this? The breeding seems to have gone a bit awry. No wonder it's only toxic and can't be used as an antidote.

  The scene was extremely chaotic, with many people running out of bullets and resorting to swinging their guns and using the butts to hit the zombies. The tomb path wasn't narrow, but there were just too many zombies, making it very crowded. Everywhere was filled with the sounds of "bang bang!", gunfire mixed with the sound of guns being swung, and people's mournful cries.

  Apart from these headless dumplings making a scene, Wen Baiyu also discovered something chaotic - Xie Lin's emotions were somewhat out of control. His face was twisted in a ferocious expression, his pale face devoid of any blood color, as he pinned Xie Yan to the ground and bit down on his neck.

  Xie Yan struggled with all his might, but was also afraid of hurting Xie Linwan. His neck was covered in blood, and Xie Linwan had a taste of the blood, which seemed to excite him. His eyes sparkled with light, as if he no longer recognized Xie Yan.

  Wen Baiyu said "not good" and immediately ran over, grasping Xie Lin's shoulder with one hand. Xie Lin was too busy drinking blood to notice, but Wen Baiyu's grip caused his arm to go numb and weak, and it fell limply by his side. Wen Baiyu then hooked her hand around the back of his neck and pulled him backwards with a jerk.

  Xie Yan let out a cry of "Ah...", covering his neck, and Xie Lin was immediately flung away by Wen Baiyu, slamming heavily onto the ground.

  Xie Yan crawled up from the ground and immediately went to support Xie Lin, saying: "Sir..."

  Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand to stop Xie Yan and said: "Don't go over there, you have blood on your body."

  Xie Lin's eyes were a bit crazy, his mouth "hū hū" panting, and his eyes revealed a struggling expression. Xie Lin hadn't drunk blood for a long time to maintain his weak body, but when he saw the female corpse drinking blood earlier, his instincts were suddenly triggered, just like a starving person with green eyes. Moreover, as one of the three souls of Xiè Yǎn, the taste of blood was naturally irresistible.

  Xie Lin had a bit of an appetite, and her eyes were fixed tightly on Xie Yun.

  Wan Qi Jinghou stretched out his hand to block in front of Wen Baiyu, knocking away a headless rice dumpling that was about to pounce on him. Wen Baiyu immediately helped Xie Yun stop the bleeding. Xie Yun's wound wasn't as severe as the one from the slap earlier, but there were many teeth marks on his neck, indicating that he had been bitten repeatedly.

  "White feather!"

  Wen Jiu Mu squeezed over from the side, saw Wen Bai Yu was fine, let out a sigh of relief and said: "You scared me to death, why were you running around everywhere? After we climbed out, we couldn't see you at all!"

  Wen Baiyu saw that Wen Jiumu and Wen Cui were both fine, so he also let out a sigh of relief. However, this place was obviously not suitable for reminiscing about old times.

  Xie Lin looked at Xie Yan's gruesome wound, her eyes also struggling, her breathing heavy, but her body had a kind of instinct, her eyes extremely painful.

  Wan Qi Jinghou suddenly rushed over, stretched out his hand and pinched Xie Lin's neck, and Xie Lin immediately went soft and didn't move at all.

  "Sir!"

  Xie Yan immediately went over to help Xie Lin up, Xie Lin had fainted, and in her unconscious state, her breathing seemed normal again, and there was no longer a painful expression on her face.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Carry him on your back and go."

  Third Master Qi beckoned them over and said, "Come this way."

  Qī Sān Yé led the way, and everyone retreated while walking, with many headless rice dumplings behind them. The retreat was extremely difficult for everyone.

  The crowd walked along the tomb path, led by Qi San Ye. In fact, Qi San Ye was the most familiar with this tomb.

  As they walked forward, they passed by many tomb chambers. Qi San Ye would briefly say which ones could be touched, which ones couldn't be moved, and which ones to stay away from.

  Everyone felt a sense of unease, seeing that Qi San Ye's leg could actually walk, they were all very suspicious, but there was no time to ask about it, escaping with their lives was more important.

  They ran all the way forward, throwing away all the zongzi, and ran for a full half hour.

  Wen Baiyu didn't know if it was his own psychological effect, or perhaps his heart was telling him he had been poisoned. As he ran all the way down, he became more and more tired, with a feeling of fainting/dizziness.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand and grasped him, saying: "Are you okay?"

  Wen Baiyu was speechless, his throat slightly swollen with blood. Wan Qi Jinghou lifted up his sleeve and took a look, the green flower pattern on his arm was still the same, neither deeper nor larger.

  Wen Baiyu waved his hand, and Wan Kuang Jinghou saw that his face was flushed red, sweating constantly. He immediately put Wen Baiyu on his back and said, "I'll carry you, take a rest for a while."

  Wen Bai's feathers were ruffled as she perched on the back of Wan Kuang Jing Hou, feeling like she couldn't rest. If she didn't rest, she felt like she could hold on, but once she rested, she immediately lost her strength, lying limp and panting heavily.

  After running for a while, Qi San Ye suddenly led them into a huge tomb.

  Inside the tomb, there are carvings of golden cicadas emerging from the ground, with candle dragon patterns, and a stone statue of a tomb guardian, which seems to be the main tomb chamber. The tomb guardian statue is used for worship.

  In the center of the tomb chamber, a golden coffin was placed, on which a protruding cicada was carved.

  The lid of the coffin is closed, but it's clear that there are no nails to seal it, and it hasn't been sealed, so that the queen can crawl out from inside when she transforms.

  Wan Qi Jinghou put down Wen Baiyu, let Wen Cui and Wen Jiumu take care of him, then took a big step forward, used the dragon-scale chopper to pry it open with one effort. With a loud "boom", the huge coffin lid fell to the ground, and the things inside the coffin were suddenly presented before everyone's eyes.

  Wen Baiyu felt a bit dizzy, suddenly smelled a strong foul odor, hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, couldn't help but dry heaved twice, others were the same, feeling nauseous to the extreme, some even vomited.

  Only the golden cicada's coffin had a lot of burial objects inside, but those burial objects were all covered with a layer of grayish-black stuff, looking like burnt skin scabs. In fact, it was the human skin that had come off the female corpse, and because it had been tightly sealed in the coffin for many years, the smell wafted out as soon as it was opened.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, seemingly unable to smell the odors, took out a dragon-scale dagger, and quickly rummaged through the coffin, searching for something. Suddenly, his hand shook, the dagger quivered, and a bronze box was flipped out with a "whoosh" sound, landing on the ground.

  The bronze box fell to the ground and cracked open with a loud noise. The things inside rolled out, and surprisingly, it was a red gemstone.

  The ruby was bar-shaped, emitting a fiery red glow, shining brightly in the dim tomb, and everyone had never seen such a beautiful burial object, several people were eager to move.

  Qī Sān Yé looked at the thing rolling on the ground, it was Huǒ Jīng, the fire essence of Zhuō Lóng.

  Qizhisan was about to go forward to take the fire essence, when Changsuanpan's eyes rolled around and he suddenly pounced on it, wanting to snatch it. Qizhisan smiled and didn't stop him. The others saw Changsuanpan trying to snatch it and also rushed forward to grab it.

  However, before they could grab it, Chang's abacus suddenly let out a loud "Ahhh" as his hand was scorched by the fire spirit, emitting a mournful cry. The others saw this and didn't dare to touch it again.

  At this time, Qi San Ye slowly walked over, bent down to pick up the fire essence on the ground and said: "People will always have to pay a price for their greed, won't they?"

  Everyone stared at Chang's abacus-burned hand in shock, then looked at Qi San Ye picking up the "ruby" on the ground.

  Qī Sān Yé stretched out his hand to touch the flame in his palm, that subtle warmth brought a thrill of loss and recovery.

  The little dragon seemed to have sensed the fire spirit's aura, poking its head out of the backpack, looking at Qi San Ye's hand holding the fire spirit, and then glancing at the egg playing with its own fingers.

  At this moment, Xiao Chui Long suddenly frowned and jumped out of Wen Bai Yu's backpack. With a swift sweep of his snake-like tail, he sent one of the burial objects in the tomb flying out.

  Xiao Zhu Long's movements were extremely fast, and everyone didn't even see what was happening, thinking that Wen Bai Yu had thrown the thing away.

  Just then, a loud "Ka!" was heard, and the funeral objects were smashed out, just hitting the outside of the tomb. To our surprise, there was the sound of zongzi (glutinous rice dumplings) coming from outside!

  Xiao Chui Long was still young, but precisely because of his youth, his senses were extremely sharp. He made a move and the crowd only then discovered that something was lurking outside.

  A burnt smell rushed in from outside the tomb, and a black triangular object suddenly flew in.

  Everyone was shocked, someone recognized it and shouted: "Damn! How is it that female corpse again?!"

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  Someone started firing, sweeping the dumplings rushing into the tomb.

  Wen Baiyu fixed her eyes on it and found that it was indeed the female corpse from earlier. The small flames hadn't burned the corpse to death, but they had charred its entire body. Astonishingly, the corpse could still reanimate and even crawled back out of the tomb passage.

  Everyone opened fire while retreating, the female corpse was shot and fell to the ground, but quickly got up again, fell to the ground again, and popped up again, rushing towards them fiercely. "Clang!" With a loud noise, it even knocked over the golden coffin, and the funeral objects and foul-smelling human skin fell all over the place.

  Everyone didn't dare to entangle, quickly retreated towards the outside of the tomb chamber.

  Xie Yan carried Xie Lin on his back, and at this time, Xie Lin woke up. Xie Yan's neck was already bandaged, but there were still some bloodstains on it. Xie Lin narrowed her eyes and looked at the bloodstain on Xie Yan's neck.

  Xie Yan felt Xie Lin's movement and immediately turned back, excitedly saying: "Sir, you're awake?"

  Xie Lin stretched out his hand and pressed it on Xie Yun's wound, Xie Yun let out a "hiss" of pain, trembling with agony. Xie Lin withdrew his hand and simply said: "After going out, head left, there is a thief cave I dug, you can crawl out from there."

  His words were like heavenly music, and the crowd immediately rushed out of the tomb chamber. Wan Qi Jing Hou had Wen Bai Yu on his back, blocking the crazy female corpse, and letting everyone hurry away.

  Everyone left the tomb and turned left, soon they saw the thief's hole. The thief's hole was dug very professionally, although it wasn't spacious, but much better than the previous passageway. Everyone rushed to squeeze in.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou blocked the zongzi, waiting for Wen Bai Yu to drill in. Wen Bai Yu crawled while looking back and shouted: "Wan Qi Jing Hou!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's hand holding the dragon scale dagger/first turned, forcing back the female corpse that rushed up, and then quickly ducked down and swiped inward, his whole person "whooshing" into the thief cave, immediately quickening his crawl inward.

  The female corpse let out a frantic roar, and quickly crouched down to crawl into the thief's hole, and she seemed to be very good at crawling, her hands moving quickly back and forth, pouncing forward while crawling.

  Wen Baiyu heard the sound of pursuit behind him and turned his head to help Wan Qi Jinghou, but Qi San Ye blocked him, saying: "Bow your head!"

  Behind them, Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou immediately bowed their heads, and then they heard the sound of "whooshing". Qi San Ye's iron egg shot out and violently knocked the female corpse backwards, causing it to flip over. Because the female corpse was small in stature, it flipped into a thief's hole, and incredibly, the iron egg was covered in flames, so the female corpse caught fire again.

  "Quickly, she's a cicada. She can't come out of the ground until her shell is completely shed. As long as she crawls out, everything will be fine."

  Everyone has used up all their strength in drinking milk. They are all local bullies who think they have fought countless battles and have never been so desperate.

  The female corpse was on fire, letting out a loud roar as she charged towards Wan Jie Jing Hou. The flames on her body were those of the Fire Essence, which Wan Jie Jing Hou did not fear, but his clothes could not withstand them and started to burn with a crackling sound.

  They struggled forward, crawling for a long time, and then suddenly made a great effort to drill outward. With the loud cheers of the crowd, they finally broke through the ground and emerged from the earth.

  Wen Baiyu immediately turned around to pull Wan Jie Jinghou, Wan Jie Jinghou's clothes were burnt but he was not injured, only his arms and chest were slightly exposed. Wan Jie Jinghou was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling rapidly, his pectoral muscles and abdominal muscles faintly visible, making Wen Baiyu feel even more unwell.

  Wen Baiyu took off his outerwear and wanted to put it on Wan Jie, but Wan Jie stopped him, saying: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold."

  Wen Bai Yu Xing said, but I'm afraid you'll leave...

  Everyone escaped, and the female corpse indeed chased to the entrance of the cave, felt the light, and immediately burrowed back, not daring to chase further.

  Everyone was injured, but Chang's injury was the most severe. He had gone to grab the fire extinguisher and his entire hand was burned, it will definitely become disabled.

  Everyone was exhausted, but they didn't dare to stay around and cause the tunnel to collapse. They sealed it tightly and returned to the wellhead, pouring soil in with all their might, even throwing explosives/drugs inside.

  Qī Sān Yé coldly watched as these people threw explosives into the tomb, listening to the "boom boom" sounds.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Will explosives work?"

  "Who knows? It's better to have exploded than not to have exploded at all."

  Wen Baiyu curiously said: "After the seventh transformation, what will it become?"

  Qī Sān Yé smiled and said: "I haven't seen it, but it must be a terrifying sight. After all, she spent several thousand years completing her transformation, using several thousand years to nurture the corpse. If she really transforms, perhaps it will be an unimaginable appearance."

  Wen Baiyu seemed to be pondering Qi San Ye's words, it was indeed an unimaginable sight, using several thousand years as preparation, what a massive undertaking?

  The Queen Mother of the West had already realized the shortcomings of the two magical artifacts and the peach tree, but this queen just wanted to find them again.

  Everyone used up all the explosives, the wellhead collapsed, and huge rocks were smashed down. Only then did everyone feel at ease, but they still didn't dare to stay and hastily retreated in the direction of their return.

  Going back still needs to cross the desert, winter is very cold, at night it will snow heavily, in the afternoon the temperature is high, the snow melts and turns into water, the water wets/moistens the sand, one step will sink in.

  Fortunately, the little fox was a desert-born fox and was familiar with the terrain, so he could walk out even with his eyes closed.

  The crowd fled from the tomb and walked for a day, not daring to stop until nightfall.

  Everyone pitched their tents, sat together to eat, and tacitly no one mentioned this time's defeat. After all, nothing was gained, but the losses were severe; nobody wanted to lose face.

  After dinner, everyone returned to their tents to sleep. They had to get up early the next day and continue on their journey, eager to leave this haunted place behind as soon as possible.

  Wen Baiyu lay exhausted in the tent, while the little ones all ran out and sat beside him playing.

  Wen Baiyu found that recently, Dan/Dan likes to play with Da Mao, perhaps because Da Mao's personality is much warmer than Xiao Zhilong's, not so cold. When Dan/Dan plays with Da Mao, they always talk with their heads together, saying "ah ah ah" nonstop, but Wen Baiyu can't understand a word. The two little guys seem to be having a great time talking.

  At this time, Xiaoxuehua and Xiaochonglong would stand with their hands on their hips, staring at each other with big eyes, clearly not as excited as Dashan and Eggy.

  Wan Qi Jinghou lifted the curtain and walked in, saying: "You don't have to keep watch tonight, get a good rest."

  He said, and then lifted the warm white feather sleeve, took a look at his arm, the poison had not worsened, it was still the same.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou furrowed his brow, suddenly lowered his head and kissed Wen Bai Yu's arm. Wen Bai Yu felt a wave of heat on his arm as Wan Jie Jing Hou's lips touched him, and he even extended his tongue to lick his arm.

  The white feather was suddenly stirred up, and he quickly withdrew his arm, saying: "What are you doing? Can't you see my son is here?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou grasped his hand tightly and smiled: "I didn't do anything."

  Wen Bai Yu Xing, you're too late for whatever it is you want to do!

  The little fluff and eggs / eggs opened their angel-like big eyes, blinking at them, Wen Bai Yu hurriedly coaxed the few little guys to sleep.

  Just then, a sudden "ah" sound was heard, followed by the voice of "Mr....", obviously Xie Yun speaking. The little ones immediately perked up their ears, and Egg curiously bit her own finger, with her ear stuck to the tent, listening carefully.

  Wen Baiyu's face suddenly turned red as soon as she heard it, and she quickly hugged the four little ones over, put them in a sleeping bag, and said: "Go to sleep, don't listen to nonsense."

  Xiao Yu Mao and the egg were very obedient, they went to sleep as soon as they were told to, immediately closing their big eyes. Xiao Xue Hua then hugged Xiao Yu Mao, giving her several kisses on her chubby face, only then did she fall asleep contentedly.

  The little dragon then made a "stupid human" face, looking very disdainful with its eyes closed. After a few seconds, it shifted its body, spread its wings and slipped under the egg's body, then scooped up the egg and brought it over.

  The egg/egg snuggled into the quilt and fell asleep, and was scooped up by Xiaolong's wings without waking up. He naturally leaned against Xiaolong, with the fire spirit on his forehead stuck to Xiaolong's neck, and rubbed a few times. Rou's meaty hands hugged Xiaolong's arm.

  The little dragon was quite satisfied, revealing a very reluctant smile, and then closed his eyes to sleep as well.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu also wanted to sleep, but there was always noise next door, and Wan Jingshou kept smiling at him with a burning gaze. Wen Baiyu couldn't resist Wan Jingshou's scorching eyes, his face flushed with heat, and his body was stared at until he slowly felt something.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Do you want help?"

  Wen Baiyu felt a pang of guilt and shook her head, but Wan Jingshou just smiled and said, "Just keep quiet."

  Wen Baiyu gave him a white eye and thought to herself: if you say don't make a sound then don't make a sound.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou stretched out his hand to pull him over, Wen Bai Yu leaned into his arms, feeling Wan Jie Jing Hou's slightly higher body temperature, seemingly unable to hold back, his breathing became heavy, he lifted his head and covered Wan Jie Jing Hou's lips.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "I'm also finding it hard to bear, be good, I'll do it gently, try not to make a sound."

  Wan Jie Jing Hou was like coaxing a child, but his actions were absolutely not like coaxing a child. Wen Bai Yu immediately regretted it and was made to roll her eyes white, convulsing and trembling repeatedly. Moreover, Wan Jie Jing Hou pulled out a mysterious sleeve from who-knows-where.

  Still smiling, he said to Wen Baiyu: "This time it's threaded, can you feel it?"

  "Damn you!"

  However, he was too timid to make a sound, and his nose let out coarse, heavy breathing sounds. Suddenly, Wan Jie Jing Hou covered his mouth and said, "Shh... isn't it comfortable? Your voice is too loud."

  His white shirt was fluttering up and down on his chest as he panted, and he knew his voice was a bit loud, but he really couldn't control it.

  Just then, Wan Gui Jing Hou said: "Open your mouth."

  Wen Baiyu subconsciously opened his mouth, thinking that Wan Jingshou was going to kiss him. But unexpectedly, he inserted his fingers into Wen's lips, using the tips of his fingers to press against his tongue and tease it back and forth, rolling and lightly pinching on Wen's tongue.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "Hold my finger, be good, lick it lightly."

  Wen Baiyu's face turned red in an instant, thinking that Wan Jiahao was a rascal. Although it was just his finger, Wen Baiyu still didn't close her lips. However, she eventually couldn't resist Wan Jiahao and finally took his finger into her mouth, lightly licking the tip of his finger with the tip of her tongue.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and sighed, his voice hoarse, saying: "Bai Yu, your mouth is so hot, always licking... my fingers..."

  Wen Baiyu had already imagined herself killing Wan Kuang Jinghao a hundred times, but she was afraid of waking up the little ones, her nerves were stretched taut, and soon she couldn't take it anymore, directly falling into a coma.

  Wen Baiyu woke up on the second day, feeling her body swaying. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on Wang Qishan's back, with a sore waist and back, and a burning sensation below. Her eyelids were heavy, as if stuck together, and she soon fell asleep again.

  The return journey seemed much shorter, and everyone soon walked out of the desert. When they saw signs of human habitation, many people almost cried.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou and Wen Bai Yu rested for a day, preparing to return to Beijing. Wan Jie Jing Hou retrieved two wooden plaques from the tomb, while Wen Bai Yu was poisoned. He gave one plaque to Wen Bai Yu and the other to Hun Dun. Both of them wore it, although the plaques were incomplete, they could counteract the toxin.

  Zi San Ye agreed to help Wan Qi Jing Hou find the whereabouts of other wooden plaques and promised Wan Qi Jing Hou that he would notify him if there were any discoveries.

  Wen Ke and Wen Jiu Mu took a plane directly back to Jinhua, while Wen Bai Yu and Wan Qi Jing Hou returned to Beijing. As soon as they pushed open the door of the small restaurant, they saw familiar faces.

  Luo Qi Feng and Ye Liu Xiang were both there, two people sitting in a small restaurant, as if they had been waiting for them all along.

  Ye Liu Xiang smiled and waved at Wen Bai Yu, saying: "I heard you guys went to the desert for fun, did you have a good time? Hmm, Wen Bai Yu, why didn't you get tanned?"

  Wen Baiyu rubbed her cheeks and said: "It's freezing cold on the ninth day of winter, how can you still get a tan? Do you think this is a vacation?"

  Ye Liu Xiang said: "Your complexion isn't bad, you've been watered pretty well."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu turned his head to look at Luo Qifeng and said, "Take care of him."

  Luo Qifeng coughed and Ye Liuxiang said proudly: "Uncle wouldn't bother to care about me."

  Wen Baiyu said: "How did you all end up in Beijing?"

  "Of course there is something important!"

  "What's going on?"

  Ye Liu Xiang said: "Uncle has recently picked up two things on his way, bring them for you all to see."

  Ye Liu said, and Kou Qifeng took out two things from his travel bag and placed them on the table.

  A translucent jade cicada and another is a cicada-shaped jade/mask.

  Wen Bai Yu said in surprise: "What is this jade mask used for?"

  Ye Liu shrugged and said: "I don't know, look inside, there are still words engraved."

  Wen Baiyu picked up the jade mask, turned it over and took a look. Sure enough, there were words carved on it, but he didn't recognize them. Judging from the craftsmanship of the mask, it should be used for worship.

  Ye Liu Xiang said: "I've already let Gan Zhu take a look, and he says that the characters on top are the same as those on the wooden slips."

  Wen Baiyu said: "It was also from the Western Queen Mother's country."

  Luo Qifeng said: "I got it from Dao Shang, the seller said that these two things were taken down by him from a corpse."

  "Where did the body come from?" asked Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Luo Qifeng said: "Because this thing is related to cicadas, so I paid attention and asked the seller, but he didn't say anything."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Don't you want to say?"

  Luo Qifeng shook his head and said, "He says it's a tomb, there are many corpses like this, he is unloading these corpses now, just happens to be short of hands, can go together to this fight, but there is a condition."

  "What conditions?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Lu Qifeng saw Xiang Wanhou and said: "He wants to see Wanhou younger brother, saying he wants to have a face-to-face talk."

  Wen Baiyu looked at Wan Jingshou with a strange expression, raised an eyebrow and thought to herself: Could it be that Wan Jingshou has fallen in love?

  Wan Xi Jing Hou agreed in one breath, after all, Wen Bai Yu was also poisoned by this Gu poison, and with a clue, he had to continue investigating.

  Luo Qifeng acted as an intermediary, and Wan Kuang Jinghou agreed to go into contact with the boss. After everyone had finalized the details, the seller would take a plane to Beijing three days later to meet with Wan Kuang Jinghou.

  He's an antique dealer, with a bit of a Hong Kong accent, but at first glance, he doesn't look like someone from Hong Kong, probably some nouveau riche trying to pretend to be sophisticated by imitating the Hong Kong accent. It was his first time in Beijing, and Wen Baiyu thought he was Wan Jiahui's "peach blossom", but it turned out to be a wrong guess.

  The antique dealer's surname was Jiang, but he didn't tell them his real name.

  Wearing a earth-yellow colored suit, with a thick gold chain around his neck, he looked like a nouveau riche the moment he appeared, and on top of that, he was being pretentious. Everyone had agreed to meet at a small restaurant.

  It's just meal time, so I thought of eating while talking.

  Old Jiang walked in and immediately showed disdain for the small restaurant, pulling out a stack of handkerchiefs from his yellowish-brown pants to wipe down his chair with his pinky raised, then threw it away and used a new one to wipe the table before throwing that one away too.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Mr. Jiang is tall and large in stature, but his face is sallow and muscular, completely mismatched with his body, his skin is particularly yellow, looking like he's been smoking heavily, constantly inhaling as if he really has a nicotine addiction, his eyes hidden behind glasses are always narrowed to size people up.

  After wiping the table, he started to dislike the chopsticks in the small restaurant, thinking they were not disinfected clean enough and needed to be replaced with disposable ones. After replacing them with disposable chopsticks, he felt that the wooden quality of the disposable chopsticks was not good enough...

  The whole person felt like they were about to go crazy.

  After Old Jiang picked and chose for half an hour, they finally got down to business.

  Mr. Jiang is an antique dealer who specializes in collecting corpses, Mr. Jiang said: "I'm a person who studies art, you don't understand the beauty of the human body, corpses are also very beautiful."

  Wen Bai Yu Xin said, don't give art students a bad name...

  Boss Jiang has this weird habit, he likes collecting corpses, he collects all sorts of corpses. People on the road know he likes corpses and specifically sell them to Boss Jiang. Moreover, Boss Jiang is a big fool, as long as you slightly cheat him, he'll buy at any price.

  This jade cicada and jade mask are on the corpse.

  Jade/mask is worn on the face of a corpse, and jade cicada is naturally held in the mouth.

  Mr. Jiang was proudly talking about his various collections, and Wen Baiyu felt that he couldn't even finish a meal, Mr. Jiang was simply a pervert.

  Later, Old Jiang mysteriously said: "I'm telling you, it's a good place, hundreds and thousands of coffins, all with corpses, very hidden, so no one discovered them, but I found them. Now I'm short-handed, I heard that the one called... called Wan Kuang Jing Hou is quite fierce, didn't expect Xiao Suo and you are friends, that's perfect. This matter is settled then, the corpses I'll take all of them, burial goods you can pick a few."

  Wen Baiyu asked where the place was, and Old Jiang smiled without saying a word: "It's in Yunnan, very remote."

  Everyone discussed the time, and the money was all paid by Old Jiang. They followed him on a trip to help transport the corpses and would also receive a commission. Although Wen Baiyu really wasn't interested in the corpses, these corpses were definitely related to the Western Queen Mother's country. Moreover, Wen Baiyu noticed Old Jiang's wording, "hundreds and thousands" of coffins, such a large-scale group burial, what was the reason for it?

  Mr. Jiang kept praising the beauty of the corpse, and when Mr. Jiang left, Wen Baiyu finally let out a sigh of relief, saying: "Is this Mr. Jiang's nerve or is there something wrong with him?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded, and Wen Bai Yu thought he was also joking. As a result, he heard Wan Qi Jing Hou say: "I've always heard people on the road talk about this Jiang boss, saying that he has a strange hobby."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Collecting corpses?'"

  He shook his head and said, "No. Old Jiang likes to collect corpses, everyone in the Taoist community knows that. Actually, apart from Old Jiang, there are others who specialize in collecting corpses because selling these ancient corpses is very profitable. However, Old Jiang's purpose is clearly not for profit."

  "What's the reason?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Eat."

  Wen Baiyu let out a "Pffft——" sound and sprayed all the beer he had just drunk back out.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that the taste in his mouth was a bit off and suspected that he had misheard.

  Eat?!

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "Many people believe that eating ancient corpses can cure diseases, and some people also believe that eating ancient corpses can live forever. In the past, many Tufuzi would divide and eat ancient corpses after fighting."

  Wen Bai covered her mouth and said: "Don't... don't say it..."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly: "I used to think it was a rumor and didn't quite believe it, but after looking at Old Jiang's face today, I do believe it a bit."

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment about Old Jiang's complexion, which was waxen yellow, like that of an opium addict, listless yet overexcited, absolutely not normal.

  Wen Baiyu said: "He wants to bring back so many ancient corpses, all for food? This is simply suicidal!"

  Wen Baiyu said, and suddenly felt a cramp in her stomach, as if she was about to throw up everything she had eaten that night, feeling extremely nauseous.

  Afterwards, Old Jiang did not appear again. He went to Yunnan first and told them the time and route, letting them come to Yunnan on their own to gather together.

  Jiang boss gave Wen Baiyu and others a village name, which Wen Baiyu had never heard of before. It is said that this village has only five households and is very small and remote. After arriving in Yunnan, it will take another day's drive to get there.

  Everyone packed up their luggage, and this time they were accompanied by Luo Qifeng and Ye Liuxiang.

  After they got off the plane, only Luo Qifeng could drive. Wen Baiyu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious - would Uncle Luo, who was blind to roads, get lost again...

  Everyone took a taxi to the airport and entered the waiting room very smoothly. There were still many people in the waiting room, although it is now off-season, but the weather on the Yunnan side was warm, and many of them went there for tourism.

  Four people sat down, and soon someone sat down on the right side of Wen Baiyu. He looked like a college student, without a suitcase, but with a backpack on his back, wearing sportswear, with earplugs in his ears, and the music from the earplugs was extremely loud, almost deafening.

  Wen Baiyu sat next to him and could hear the sound from the young man's earphones. He didn't know what song it was, but it seemed very intense.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but glance at the young man twice, somewhat suspecting that his ears might be deafened by the music.

  Young people sat down, listened to music, looked down at their phones, and when the time was almost up, they put on their backpacks and lined up to board the plane.

  It was a coincidence that after the four people got on the plane, in a row of three seats, Wen Baiyu sat next to the young man wearing earphones again.

  Young people's earplugs have been blasting deafening music, and it's even single-looped. Wen Baiyu sat next to him, listening to rock all the way.

  After getting off the plane, Mr. Jiang had rented a car for them, and Ruo Qifeng drove it. Wen Baiyu felt that his sixth sense was particularly accurate, and Uncle Ruo indeed got lost again, driving to the wrong place. They spent the whole morning sorting things out and only got back on track in the afternoon. By nightfall, they had arrived at a desolate mountainous area, and estimated that it would be midnight before they reached the village Mr. Jiang mentioned.

  The road is very difficult to drive, the ground is all gravel, and there are bushes on both sides. With great difficulty, there is only one way for the car to pass through. Although the shock absorption of the car is quite good, it still bounces a lot.

  The white feathered car is very fierce, fell on Wan Qi Jing Hou's leg, face iron blue, but the four little guys are playing happily, the little guys seem to be not dizzy.

  Xiao Xue Mu Hua recently found a new way to please Xiao Yu Mao. He used vines to create a swing and let Xiao Yu Mao sit on it, pushing him to play.

  Xiao Yu Mao laughed "heh heh", extremely happy, Xiao Xue Hua took the opportunity to kiss Xiao Yu Mao several times. Dan/Dan watched and thought it was fun too. Xiao Yu Mao then hugged Dan/Dan together and sat on the swing to play. At this time, Xiao Zhu Long would cross his arms, with a cold face, leaning against the back seat, looking at Dan/Dan with great displeasure.

  It was past eight in the evening, and the sky had completely darkened. The car was still moving, and it seemed that they would arrive soon. Wen Baiyu appeared to have seen a glimmer of hope, sat up straight, and leaned against the window to look outside.

  Suddenly he exclaimed, "How can there still be people on the road?"

  He said, and the crowd also discovered that there was actually someone on this road. It had already been dark for a long time, and there were no signs of human activity around. This road was very remote and could only lead to the village. A young man with a backpack walked along the road, and he was actually walking on foot. He had earbuds in his ears, and Wen Baiyu rolled down the car window, and she could hear the deafening music coming from the young man's earbuds. It really was fate; they met three times in one day.

  The young people seemed to have seen them too, but just took a glance and then withdrew their gaze and continued walking forward.

  The car drove by quickly, and Ruo Qi thought this young man was a bit strange, so he just drove past him.

  At nine o'clock, they finally arrived at the village mentioned by Old Jiang. The village was not as isolated as Wen Baiyu had imagined, and it even had a reception hall.

  The accommodation is naturally run by the local villagers, who smiled and told them that many people like to come here to experience nature, so there are accommodations, but their village has few people, only one family runs an accommodation.

  The old man led them in, and the reception room was actually a civilian house, which he had built himself. It was very rustic. In front of the house were three big black dogs tied up, all looking very fierce, and many chickens were raised.

  The big black dog saw Wan Kuang Jing Hou and seemed to be a little afraid. It had been barking just now, but it stopped immediately and lay on the ground without daring to lift its head.

  The room is very simple and this place has no electricity, all are oil lamps, but there is a place to sleep, after all, it's better than camping.

  Older brother/grandfather was about to leave when he suddenly turned back and said, "Right, you guys just arrived so you definitely don't know, recently it's been quite chaotic around here, there are mountain ghosts! When night falls, be sure not to wander around randomly."
