Chapter 89 Bronze Cauldron 4

  Everything went white before his eyes, and his head was spinning with dizziness, as if he was going to pass out. He wanted to breathe, but something was pressing against him, making it impossible for him to catch a breath, choking his nose and throat.

  He also remembered that when he was in a coma, he saw Wan Qi Jing Hou's ferocious face. His ferocious face was because of the constant struggle, and there was still a thread of consciousness left.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't describe the feeling he had when he saw Wan Kuang being ambushed. If it wasn't for a large wave of water rushing out from behind the bronze gate, he felt that he would have gone up and fought to the death with Fang Jing.

  How could Fang Jing have something like that?

  Isn't that the research result of Dr. Wang?

  It's said to be a kind of medicine that can stimulate one's potential, but it's addictive...

  His mind was a jumbled mess of white and black, telling himself he couldn't think about it anymore, if he really got addicted, it would be too terrifying, but in his half-dazed state, his brain was completely out of control, and he kept thinking wildly.

  Wen Baiyu's chest felt tight, as if his breathing was being blocked. He struggled to wake up from the darkness, not knowing how long he had been out for. Perhaps frightened by his own subconscious thoughts, he suddenly let out a cry and opened his eyes wide.

  Wen Baiyu opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Wan Kuang Jing Hou. He arched his body, like a protective layer, pressed against hers. Because he had transformed into a giant dragon, all his clothes were torn to shreds, not a thread left intact. His back was covered in large and small wounds, some of which had scraped off skin and flesh.

  Wen Baiyu was suddenly shocked and wanted to sit up, but as soon as she moved slightly, she felt water choking her and immediately started coughing, spitting out a lot of water from her nose.

  It turned out that Wan Kui Jing Hou was lying on himself, no wonder his head felt uncomfortable.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but cough, and immediately sat up, taking off his own coat to put on Mo Jue's back, which was covered in wounds that had been soaked in water and were slightly festering, although they were healing on their own, still looked very gruesome.

  Wen Baiyu hesitated for half a day, but still didn't put clothes on Wan Jingshou. He reached out and picked up Wan Jingshou, the temperature in his hands was very high, which was Wan Jingshou's normal body temperature, this made him let out a sigh of relief.

  Wen Baiyu spread his outer garment on the ground, letting Man Qi Jinghou, who was still unconscious, lie on it. He reached into his pocket and felt that the phoenix bone dagger was still there, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  Quickly drew out a dagger and made a small cut on his palm, letting the blood drip onto Wan Jie's back.

  The wound healed faster after being treated with the medicine, but Mo Jing Hou still didn't wake up.

  Wen Baiyu felt his nose and then went to feel the pulse on his neck, everything was normal, Wan Jingshou's breathing was very long, don't know if it was because he had consumed too much or was just sleeping soundly.

  Wen Baiyu carefully looked at Wan Jingshou's face, which was a bit pale, but his skin had always been that white. His eyes were closed and his eyebrows were relaxed, seemingly no longer in the same pain as before.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, reaching out to gently stroke Wan Kuangjing's face twice, unsure of how to describe her current emotions.

  When Wan Xi Jing Hou's back wound had almost healed, Wen Bai Yu wrapped the large coat around him and only then did he have time to look at his surroundings.

  It was too dark all around, and Wen Baiyu's palm suddenly ignited with a "whoosh", borrowing the firelight to take a look, he was stunned. A huge stone cave, the area of the stone cave was very large, even bigger than a basketball court, and it extended deep inside, so deep that it was unknown where it led to. A strong chilly air current came rushing out from the depths of the stone cave, hitting Wen Baiyu's face.

  Wen Bai's thoughts were in order, but before he could react, the copper bell was triggered by an evil spell or illusion. The black-haired zombies rushed out of their coffins, and due to their overwhelming numbers, everyone decided to retreat first. Then they encountered Fang Jing ambushing Wang Jiehou, who transformed into a dragon and smashed open the bronze gate, releasing a massive amount of water that scattered them all.

  What is this place? It looks like a cave. Was it flooded by a big wave?

  Wen Baiyu was just thinking, when suddenly a rustling sound started up.

  Wen Baiyu's whole body tensed up, and Wan Xiang Jinghou had been unconscious the entire time. This surrounding environment was also unfamiliar, and she absolutely could not afford to take any risks.

  He quickly extinguished the flames, then pulled up Wanjun Jinghou from the ground and carried him behind a stone pillar in the cave, hiding him behind. The other party was still breathing softly, without any awareness.

  Wen Baiyu was a bit worried, every time they encountered danger, it was always Wan Kuang Jinghou who woke up first, or he came to solve the difficulty. Now that Wan Kuang Jinghou had been asleep for so long, she didn't know when he would wake up, and her heart surged with anxiety, causing her to unconsciously reach out and tightly hug Wan Kuang Jinghou.

  A rustling sound came from the other end of the stone cave, Wen Baiyu had just observed that the depths of the stone cave were very deep, but they could see the front with one glance from their previous position behind them, it was not deep at all. If they were washed in by a big wave, where was the entrance/exit?

  The sound now confirmed Wen Baiyu's doubts, the cave entrance was above.

  A rustling sound came from a nearby rooftop, and a black shadow was slowly moving.

  Because the light was very dim, Wen Baiyu narrowed his eyes. The black shadow kept moving from top to bottom at a slow speed, and it didn't look like a person. His back bulged out with a huge lump, as if he had grown a giant tumor.

  "Rustle... rustle..."

  "Rustle, rustle......"

  The dark shadow slowly descended, and just as it was about to reach the ground, Wen Baiyu finally saw clearly that it wasn't one person, but two people. It was Moyang carrying Peng Sanye on his back, with a rope in Moyang's hand, swinging down from the top of the hole little by little.

  Mo Yang came down from above, his whole body was wet, and his hair was stuck to his face. He didn't care about these things, and immediately put Peng Siye on the ground. Peng Siye didn't move at all.

  Wen Baiyu saw Mosang and immediately let out a breath of relief. Mosang heard his breathing sound, and alertly shouted: "Who's there!"

  Wen Baiyu hastily walked out from behind the stone pillar and said, "It's me, Wen Baiyu."

  Mo Yang was slightly surprised. His eyesight wasn't as good as Wen Baiyu's, after all he was just an ordinary person. He squinted his eyes and looked for half a day but still couldn't see clearly, however the voice wouldn't be wrong.

  Wen Baiyu immediately walked over with Wan Xi Jinghou on his back. Mo Yang saw clearly that it was Wen Baiyu, and a smile appeared on his face.

  Wen Baiyu put the unconscious Wan Jiahao on the ground, sizing up Mo Yang and Peng Sihou. Both of them were completely drenched, Peng Sihou's suit was stuck to his body, his face deathly pale.

  Wen Baiyu said: "What's wrong with Peng Siye?"

  Mo Yang said: "He can't swim, probably choked on some water."

  He said, kneeling down and kneeling in front of Peng Siye, pressing hard on Peng Siye's chest.

  Mr. Peng suddenly started coughing, probably choking on a lot of water, and his suit was tight, feeling quite uncomfortable.

  Mo Yang's movements were swift and decisive. He immediately unbuttoned Peng Siye's suit jacket, loosened his collar, and undid several buttons.

  Mo Yang pressed his hand on his chest, continuing to press down. Peng Siye must have swallowed a lot of water, and his nose and mouth kept coughing out water, along with dark red blood that flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

  Mo Yang was momentarily startled and said: "How...how can there be so much blood..."

  "He suffered severe internal injuries and his body was too cold."

  Peng Siye is not Wan Jie Jinghou, Wan Jie Jinghou was born with such a high body temperature, Peng Siye has been in the water for so long, and now it's November, the water temperature is very low, naturally his body temperature would have dropped.

  Peng Siye's face was very pale, his lips were purple, and he was clearly frozen. Although the water had been spat out clean, he was still exhaling more than inhaling.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't care about so much, saving people was the priority. With a "whoosh" sound, flames burst out from his palm and approached Peng Siye.

  Mo Yang was somewhat shocked, staring at the flame in Wen Baiyu's hand, and suddenly thought that when Wan Kuang Jing Hou turned into a dragon candle in an instant, perhaps compared to that, this little flame was nothing.

  Mo Yang exerted force and pinched Peng Siye's hand, Peng Siye's lips slightly improved, but his chest remained still, without much fluctuation.

  Mo Yang was getting anxious, and with a burst of strength, he pressed down twice. Suddenly, he lowered his head, pinched Peng Siye's nose and chin, made him open his mouth, and pressed his own lips tightly on it, blowing air in forcefully.

  "Cough!"

  Peng Siye let out a loud cough, immediately spitting up some blood. His chest heaved even more violently, his eyebrows furrowed together, and his eyelids twitched as if he was about to wake up.

  Mo Yang finally let out a sigh of relief, slumping to the ground and panting heavily, as if exhausted.

  Wen Baiyu saw that Peng Siye was fine, and only then did she withdraw her finger, extinguishing the flame in her palm.

  Peng Siye slowly came to, but Wan Jieying was still unable to wake up. However, his breathing and body temperature were completely normal, and it was unclear when he would be willing to wake up.

  Peng Siye woke up, coughing violently, and subconsciously reached into his pocket with his hand, but his body was soaked through, and when he touched it, his hand was full of water, and he couldn't feel anything.

  Peng Siye spat blood onto the ground, turned his head to take a look, and saw that there was already a big patch of blood on the ground, which seemed to be all his own. Peng Siye's expression suddenly became somewhat annoyed, and he reached out to forcefully pull his own hair.

  He propped himself up and sat up, seeing Mo Yang, Wen Baiyu, and the unconscious Wan Qi Jinghou. The rest of the people were unknown where they went.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'How did you come down from above?'"

  Peng Siye was completely unconscious, he was a poor swimmer, at the time he had a desperate heart, choked with water and fainted, it was Moyang who rescued him.

  Mo Yang rubbed his arm, perhaps feeling that this place was too cold and his body was wet. The cold wind blew, making him feel like he was going to freeze to death immediately.

  Mo Yang said faintly, "The entrance is completely flooded. After the bronze gate was damaged, a large amount of water rushed out, and it's unknown how long it lasted before the water started flowing back in. Most people should have been washed into the area behind the bronze gate."

  He said, pointing upwards, "This above is also water, we've been washed away by the water all along. I saw a hole/opening, anyway, let the water wash me away, there's no way to survive, so I thought of following it down to take a look, unexpectedly, there's no water below."

  "That is to say, we don't have any tools and there's no way for us to get out from up there. We can only keep going deeper into the cave."

  Mo Yang didn't say anything, but judging from his expression, it should be like this.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Now it's come to this, we should be open and honest with each other, so that we can work together in harmony. You two don't want to say anything, what exactly is inside that grave? Why do so many people keep going down into that grave again and again?"

  Mo Yang thought for a moment, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

  At this time, a faint sound was heard, like the roar of a beast. Wen Baiyu suddenly turned his head and saw that Wan Qi Jinghou beside him was about to wake up.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but glance at Mo Yang, and quickly bent down to look at Wan Kuang Jing Hou. Wan Kuang Jing Hou furrowed his brow, closed his eyes tightly, and his eyelids kept twitching as if he was struggling to open them. Just a moment ago, he was still in a relaxed sleeping posture, but now his fists were clenched, and his whole body exuded a fierce anger and restlessness.

  Wen Baiyu grasped his shoulder and shook it gently, saying: "Wan Jingshou? Are you awake? I'm Wen Baiyu..."

  Wan Kuang didn't open his eyes, but he seemed to have heard Wen Baiyu's words. A low growl came from the depths of his throat, mixed with a soft murmur, "Baiyu...Baiyu..."

  "Wake up, Wan Xi Jing Hou..."

  Wen Baiyu's voice stopped immediately, because Wan Jingshou had already opened his eyes. Wen Baiyu was overjoyed at first, as if a child had received a birthday gift, excited and happy.

  But he soon froze, because in the eyes of Wan Xi Jing Hou, which suddenly opened, there was a piece of confusion, and it was filled with blood red, as if there were flames flowing inside.

  Wen Baiyu was shocked and said: "Wan Kui Jing Hou?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou heard his voice, raised his eyes and stared at Wen Bai Yu for a long time. Wen Bai Yu's back was sweating, not knowing if he had really woken up or not. What if he went crazy again in this place and made the stone cave collapse? The outside was all water, how would they escape this time?

  Just as Wen Baiyu was getting anxious, Wan Kuangjing's eyes slowly revealed clarity, but his pupils were still blood-red, like a glowing ruby.

  Wan Jingshou suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Wen Baiyu in his arms. Wen Baiyu was caught off guard, unprepared, and bumped into his chest, feeling that Wan Jingshou's pectoral muscles were too hard, bumping himself sore.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's hands tightly grasped his arms, as if he wanted to press him into his body. His chin rubbed against his shoulder and cheek, his mouth murmuring: "Bai Yu... you're fine, that's great..."

  Wen Baiyu's wrist was held tightly by him, and for a moment, he felt a bit awkward, after all, there were two other people beside them. However, Wan Jingshou was now breathing heavily, it could be heard that he was very nervous, Wen Baiyu could only comfortingly say: "I'm fine."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou kept rubbing his chin against his shoulder and cheek, his breathing getting heavier and heavier, his arms tightening more and more, almost suffocating Wen Bai Yu, who could feel a surge of violence and restlessness emanating from his body.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly loosened his grip, and Wen Bai Yu let out a breath. Before he could even exhale the second half of it, Wan Jie Jing Hou's body exerted force again, immediately pinning Wen Bai Yu to the ground. He tightly hugged him, his lips pressed against Wen Bai Yu's, crazily grinding against them, ceaselessly squeezing and biting, kissing, holding his lips in a rough, savage manner, licking and sucking.

  Wen Baiyu felt a suffocating sensation, which suddenly and crazily swept over him, leaving him completely unprepared. Mo Yang, who was beside him, had a thicker skin and quickly turned his head away, while Peng Siye looked on with some surprise and great interest.

  Wen Baiyu's lips soon bled, and Wan Jingshou smelled the bloody smell, but became even more brutal and cruel. His tongue drilled into Wen Baiyu's mouth, hooked his tongue, and sucked it in, filling his mouth with a bloody smell.

  Wen Baiyu felt something was off about Wan Kuang Jing Hou, and immediately reached out to hold him, soothingly kissing his lips in sync with Wan Kuang Jing Hou's movements.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou gradually felt Wen Bai Yu's cooperation, the violent and tyrannical aura seemed to be soothed, his movements slowly subsiding, and finally the two people's kiss turned into a breathless and wet kiss.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyes were still fiery red as he gazed at Wen Bai Yu, lightly licking the wound on his lips.

  "Hmm..."

  Wen Baiyu trembled/shook a little, Wan Jingshou stretched out his hand to pick him up, letting Wen Baiyu sit upright on the ground, pressing against his forehead and saying: "Sorry, I was a bit out of control just now."

  Wen Baiyu hastily pushed him away, shook his head, and found that Peng Siye was actually watching them with a thick face.

  Peng Siye also noticed the color of Wan Jiahui's eyes, but didn't say much and just smiled: "You two are really close."

  He said, pointing to his lips and smiling at Wen Baiyu: "Your lips are bleeding, wipe them quickly."

  Wen Bai's face was burning with anger, and she wished she could kick Peng Siye in the face.

  "To change the subject, I had no choice but to say: 'Mo Yang can continue what he was going to say earlier.'"

  Mo Yang coughed and nodded, saying: "The reason I went down to that tomb, it's a story that started several years ago."

  Mo Yang was still active on this path a few years ago.

  The human relationships on this road are very complicated, many people like to work alone or in pairs, they don't like to find a long-term partner, because in this line of work, you can't predict when you'll encounter an invaluable treasure, and people's hearts are terrifying, it's possible that you'll be stabbed in the back by your own partner.

  Many partners are relatives after all a little kinship is still good.

  Mo Yang felt quite lucky, his partner was Kong Shanshan, who was Mo Yang's senior.

  Mo Yang's sect is said to be the ancient Mohist school, it is well-known that Mozi in ancient times was not only a thinker and educator, but also had disciples all over the world, at that time formed a strict Mohist group, members called Mohists, the highest leader became the head of the Mohist, with the power to enforce laws, from small punishments to life and death sentences, from the imperial court to the rivers and lakes, everywhere was infiltrated by the existence of Mohists.

  Mozi had extraordinary attainments in cosmology, physics and mathematics, and was also skilled at mechanical manufacture. His manufactured machines were as small as a grain of rice, and as large as chariots for war, almost without exception.

  Mo Yang and Kong Shanshan are among them, inheriting Mozi's mechanical craftsmanship.

  Mo Yang and Kong Shanshan have been in the industry for only a few months, but with their exceptional skills, they quickly gained fame.

  At that time, someone told them that there was a tomb in Xuzhou, which had absolute treasures inside...

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "What treasure is it after all?"

  Mo Yang said: "What else could it be, treasure? Grave robbers like us want only two things in life. The first is priceless treasures, and the second is eternal youth. After all, ancient tombs have too many things that can help one achieve eternal youth. Seeing them often is like being brainwashed."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "You mean that there is an elixir of immortality in the collapsed tomb? A dan medicine?"

  Mo Yang nodded and said, "Right."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Are you so sure?"

  Mo Yang looked at him and said, "Because I've seen it before."

  Mo Yang and Kong Shanshan knew that this was a big deal, if successful, not only could they establish their position in the Taoist world, but also get everything that all the earthly masters dreamed of.

  Two people prepared things and resolutely descended into this tomb.

  In this tomb, they met Cheng Yaojin who suddenly appeared and killed halfway, naturally it was Peng Sini. At that time, Peng Sini was already very rich and brought a group of fighters into the tomb as well.

  Mourners have rules, the grave cannot be damaged, and only one thing can be taken. It is not allowed to conflict with others, if there are already people in the tomb, it is absolutely forbidden to fight.

  At that time, Mo Yang and Kong Shanshan had no way out, but Peng Siye suggested separating and whoever found it first would get it. Everyone naturally agreed, and the two groups began to take separate actions in a hurry.

  Mo Yang and Kong Shanshan are both direct descendants of the school's orthodox lineage, with extremely high skills. The mechanism is nothing to them, and they also encountered black-haired buns along the way, but not that many.

  "What's the point of these black-haired zombies? Are they being raised by humans?"

  Mo Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know about this."

  "Old Peng said at this time: 'They are specially raised.'"

  He said, turning to Mo Yang: "I don't know if you remember, but I recall that when we buried him back then, there weren't so many coffins. I don't know if someone else came in after we left this tomb, those black-haired zombies had obvious physical differences."

  Wen Baiyu's mind flashed with a thought, could it be that someone else came in later and knew the method of raising these black-haired zombies, and then raised another batch?

  Wen Bai's mind was only thinking of the owner of the black feathers...

  Mo Yang was suddenly impressed by what he said, and his eyes widened as he exclaimed, "This is impossible, who would raise a zombie?"

  "Old Peng continued: 'I know what these black-haired zombies are for.'"

  Wen Baiyu looked at Peng Siye and said, "What's this for?"

  "Also, from the purpose of that tomb... Strictly speaking, it's not a tomb at all, just made to look like one to deceive people. You've seen it, it's very simple inside and there are many corpses, but they don't seem to be buried with the deceased. During Qin Shi Huang's time, there was a legend about dredging up tripods from the Si River. I'm telling you this now, but you might not believe me. What Qin Shi Huang actually did back then at the Si River was something earth-shattering... He excavated Peng Zu's tomb."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Peng Zu?"

  Peng Siye nodded and said: "Legend has it that Peng Zu lived to be 800 years old, and the Great Peng Kingdom was indeed a land of longevity. The Peng family had always been a model of longevity, and Peng Zu also had a special way of nourishing his body. In pre-Qin times, Peng Zu was a symbol of immortality. Qin Shi Huang spent his whole life pursuing eternal youth, how could he let go of this possibility?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "He wants to find the basis of eternal life from Peng Zu's tomb?"

  Peng Siye said: "Yes, Xuzhou is the ancient Peng State, and the Great Peng State originated from here. Although Peng Zu retreated to Fujian in his later years, after death he must have returned to his roots, back to the Great Peng State."

  Wen Baiyu nodded, the ancients all attached importance to this. In their view, leaving a corpse in a foreign land meant that it could not rest in peace. This is also an important reason for the formation of the Xiangxi Corpse Delivery and Corpse Carrying traditions.

  "However, the Great Peng Nation is an ancient and mysterious sealed country. It's said that the tomb of Peng Zu is hidden deep beneath the giant waves, but there was a Daoist named Zi Che who came up with a plan for Qin Shi Huang."

  Wait, isn't it Zi Che?

  Peng Siye nodded again and said: "I don't know what Mr. Xue came to the tomb for, but his adopted son seems to be surnamed Zi Che as well, I reckon he can't escape being related."

  Wen Baiyu shook his head this time, Zi Che was not surnamed Zi Che, the one who was actually surnamed Zi Che was Xue Bo himself. He said he wanted to take a corpse out, probably referring to Fang Shi at that time.

  Peng Siye continued: "This fangshi is very powerful, he can use dan medicine to control corpses, making them listen to his orders. The tomb of Peng Zu was under a huge wave, and at that time there were no oxygen tanks, it was impossible for living people to go down into the tomb to find things. Qin Shi Huang had Zi Che Shi build a tomb in the name of repairing the grave, but this tomb was actually used to refine dan medicine to control corpses. You see those coffins that look like containers, they also confirmed this legend, where a large number of corpses were piled up, ready to be refined into controllable zombies."

  Wen Baiyu said: "This is also too absurd, if you can really control corpses, what's the use of having live people fight?"

  Mr. Peng said, "Right, but at that time, Fang Shixian was very confident and the ancient people were relatively superstitious. Ziche began to refine the elixir in the tomb and created a batch of controllable zombies, which should be the black-haired glutinous rice balls we saw. However, as you said, corpses have no consciousness, they can fake resurrection, but it's hard for them to be controlled. Controlling corpses is like playing with fire, and at that time, something went wrong, the zombies turned against them, and Ziche spent a lot of effort to suppress those rebellious zombies. You've also heard the legend of Qin Shi Huang scooping up the tripod from the Si River. When he was scooping it up, the tripod had already been lifted out, but a black dragon emerged from the water, bit off the rope, and the big tripod fell back into the river. In fact, this is probably an embellishment of the ruler. That black dragon was likely a black-haired glutinous rice ball. Qin Shi Huang spent a lot of money to refine zombies, but ended up with nothing, and it even led to chaos. What do you think Ziche's outcome will be?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "It's definitely a death sentence."

  Peng Siye nodded and said: "Zi Che was killed, so that tomb became Zi Che's real grave."

  Wen Baiyu felt a bit confused and said, "Wait, there's no mention of an elixir of immortality in here. Although the Subao Clan was refining medicine in their tomb, they were actually refining medicine to control zombies."

  Mo Yang obviously hadn't heard the story that Peng Siye had told before, and was somewhat perplexed. "But I saw the dan medicine with my own eyes," he said, "and...and Kong sister even gave me some to eat!"

  Wen Baiyu didn't understand any more, and hinted that Mo Yang should continue talking about his affairs. Now it's only possible to link everything together by speaking openly and honestly until the end.

  Mo Yang said: "At that time, we were in a hurry to find the elixir, and there was another layer of tombs above, and when we went up another layer, we saw a huge tomb chamber..."

  Inside the tomb chamber was a large dan furnace, and also a luopan, which hung in mid-air with various kinds of dan medicine densely arranged on it.

  Mo Yang and Kong Shanshan were both familiar with Qin Dynasty seal script, and immediately recognized the dan medicine.

  But just as Kong Shan Shan picked up the elixir of immortality, the tomb suddenly collapsed, and they only then realized that this was a trap. The compass was actually a balance scale, and without any one of the elixirs, it would trigger the mechanism to seal off the tomb.

  They rushed out of the tomb, relying on their superb craftsmanship to escape from death and fled to a more solid-looking tomb. Kong Xiangxiang handed the dan medicine to Mo Yang, telling him to eat it quickly.

  Mo Yang was very moved at the time, and he was still young. Kong Jie had always taken care of him, and she was also his senior/older sister. Mo Yang naturally didn't want to eat it, but Kong Jie insisted on giving it to him. At that time, Mo Yang couldn't do anything about it, so he really ate the thing.

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback and said, "Aren't dan medicines all contaminated with heavy metals? How dare you eat it?"

  Mo Yang let out a bitter laugh and said, "You don't know, when you see an elixir of immortality placed in front of you, even if you're someone with no desires, you'll become greedy."

  He said, suddenly pulling up his legs and burying his head in his knees, taking deep breaths.

  Mo Yang continued, at that time Mo Yang had taken the elixir, soon the tomb chamber was about to collapse, they didn't escape, Mo Yang was hit on the head by falling rocks, and immediately fainted.

  When he woke up again, Kong Xiangxiang's face was covered in blood, severely injured. She lay on the ground, her breathing somewhat erratic, seemingly in great pain, constantly spitting out blood.

  At that time, in the three-layered tomb chamber that had collapsed, apart from Kong Xiangxiang, there was another person, and that was Peng Sijia.

  Peng Siye was also seriously injured, his back was covered in blood, but he picked up Moyang and wanted to rush out with him.

  Mo Yang woke up with a start, his leg was also fractured, and his head was smashed, he couldn't move at all, but he was fully conscious, shouting to Peng Siye to save Kong Jie, if Peng Siye could only save one person, let him save Kong Jie.

  Peng Siye acted as if he hadn't heard anything, wanting to rush out with him. Mo Yang shouted desperately, Kong Shanshan lay on the ground, constantly spitting blood, but her hands and feet were fine, and there were no major wounds on her body, so she was definitely going to be okay.

  Kong Xuanxuan looked at him in despair, weakly smiling and saying that Mo Yang was a good person, with a kind heart, good people will have good rewards, let him be strong, don't be self-abased, live on...

  Mo Yang was on the verge of collapse at that time. He kept shouting and his spirit was exhausted, so he fainted. When he woke up again, it had already been three months later.

  Mo Yang's fractures have all healed, his head is also better, he has become very thin, and it took three months for him to regain consciousness while lying in bed.

  He opened his eyes and saw it was Peng Siye.

  Mo's breathing was very unstable, and he smiled bitterly, saying: "Fourth Master saved me, perhaps it's because I don't know what's good for me, in my heart...my heart still hates you."

  Peng Siye let out a bitter laugh and said nothing.

  Actually, Mo Yang left out a big part of the story, which was his interactions with Peng Siye after they left the tomb, and also the reason why Mo Yang hated Peng Siye so much, aside from not saving Kong Xiangxiang.

  Mo Yang was born with low self-esteem, and Kong Xiangxiang's last words to him were like a branding iron, seared into his heart.

  Because Mo Yang was born as a freak, he is a hermaphrodite.

  Mo Yang was abandoned at birth, and his yin-yang constitution made him an outcast. His master picked him up and told him from a young age that it didn't matter, as his constitution actually made it easier for him to move around in tombs. Zongzi were very sensitive to both yin and yang energy, but Mo Yang was born with two energies balanced within him.

  It's not clear who spilled the beans, but anyway, it's no longer a secret in the sect that Moyang is a monster. Kong Xiangxiang, as his senior sister, has been comforting Moyang and scolding those mischievous junior brothers and sisters. Kong Xiangxiang even joked that if Moyang really can't find a wife in the future, then she'll just marry him herself since she won't be able to get married either, and they can live together.

  Perhaps because of this sentence, later someone spread rumors that Mo Yang and Kong Xiangxiang were a couple.

  It can be said that Kong Shan Shan is the only one, apart from her master, who has never looked down on Mo Yang and has never shown a disgusted expression towards him. Mo Yang has always respected her extremely.

  After Peng Siye rescued Mo Yang, Mo Yang resisted treatment all the time, lying in bed like a dead man, staring at the ceiling and crying. When Peng Siye talked to him, Mo Yang would shout loudly, "Why didn't you save Kong Jie? There was still hope..."

  But Mo Yang also knew that Peng Siye had saved him and had already been extremely kind, he didn't have any obligations, while Mo Yang was simply desperate, at the time he was too young to hide any emotions, treating Peng Siye as a punching bag.

  Peng Siye is a successful person, born into a wealthy family as a second-generation rich kid, with abilities and living under the spotlight. He was repeatedly questioned by Mo Yang, and with his bad temper, he naturally fought back.

  At that time, Peng Siye rescued him and brought him out. There was no one in the surrounding area. Peng Siye took Mo Yang with him on foot, just the two of them. Mo Yang was injured again, so Peng Siye had to stop his bleeding, and then he discovered Mo Yang's secret.

  At that time, Peng Siye threatened Mo Yang that if he didn't cooperate with the treatment, he would tell others about his monster identity. Mo Yang was extremely desperate and felt like the sky was falling.

  Peng Siye couldn't bear to see him cry, and didn't know what he was feeling inside. That person was strong on the surface, but his voice was hoarse from shouting, and at the same time extremely fragile, as long as you touched his weak point, he would be completely helpless.

  Peng Siye was moved at the time, he didn't think he liked men, as a wealthy boss, what woman hadn't he seen, but he strongly wanted to possess this young man.

  Peng Siye once said that he had a bad temper, and indeed he did. He was also harboring a secret in his heart. When Moyang fell into a coma, Kong Xiangxiang told Peng Siye something, and Peng Siye agreed not to tell Moyang about it. Faced with Moyang's repeated questioning and misunderstanding, Peng Siye finally lost his temper and made the biggest mistake of his life.

  The young man was terrified and shouted loudly, but due to not eating or cooperating with treatment, his body was extremely weak. How could he resist the strength of Peng Siye's hands? Peng Siye relentlessly possessed the young man beneath him, regardless of whether he was in pain or cursing loudly. Listening to Mo Yang's hoarse shouts, hating and detesting him, telling him to get out.

  Afterwards, Old Man Peng looked at the youth curled up on the white bed sheet, which was stained with blood and unbearable filth. The youth's body was covered in purple bruises, and for the first time, Old Man Peng felt a little panicked.

  After that, Peng Siye let Mo Yang go and then went abroad for a period of time. He didn't come back for a long time, and the name Mo Yang also disappeared from the world. Every time Peng Siye woke up from his dream, he still had the residual image of Mo Yang's anger/hatred towards him, and then wiped away the blood that he had coughed up.

  He had thought about it many times, why he agreed to keep the secret for Kong Xiangxiang at that time. Peng Siye thought to himself, in order to save Mo Yang, his internal organs were all scorched, and over the years, every time he coughed, he spat up blood, and it was getting more and more serious, he didn't know how many days he had left to live, it was really a thankless task...

  Mo Yang kept a part unsaid, and Peng Siye also kept a part unsaid. The two people fell silent at the same time, as if recalling the painful experiences of the past. Now that they met again, Peng Siye was more steady, richer, and had more prestige, but his temper was still bad. As for Mo Yang, he had shed the greenness of youth and become a sharp and mature adult.

  At this time, Wan Kuang Jing Hou finally spoke up, a pair of eyes like flames, in the dark cave, looked exceptionally sharp.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's voice was somewhat hoarse and very cold, saying: "What you ate is not the elixir of immortality."

  Mo Yang raised his head and looked at Wan Kuang Jing Hou, apparently not quite understanding what he meant.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "I don't know what you've eaten, but it's definitely not the elixir of immortality. Your physical body is still that of an ordinary person."

  Wen Baiyu also nodded, but anyone who is immortal has a special taste in their blood, like Zi Che who had eaten the elixir of immortality. His blood was more attractive to unclean things, it was a unique "fragrance", and Mo Yang didn't have that, he was indeed an ordinary person.

  Mo Yang said in surprise: "Then what did Kong sister give me at that time?"

  Peng Siye heard this sentence, but didn't show much surprise, only his hands suddenly clenched into fists, as if enduring something.

  Mo Yang did not notice Peng Siye's reaction.

  "Everything that needs to be said has been said," said Peng Siye. "Do you have any leads? What should we do now?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou raised his head and looked around, an unfamiliar cave, actually he brought Wen Bai Yu in, because the top was all water, Wen Bai Yu choked on the water severely, had already fainted, so he took Wen Bai Yu directly from the entrance of the cave and jumped down.

  Wen Baiyu sorted out his thoughts, and Peng Siye said that the previous tomb was actually an experimental base. Later, the experiment failed, and Zicheng was buried inside. If there really was an elixir of immortality, Zicheng wouldn't have died either. Combining this with Moyang's condition, it indeed wasn't an elixir of immortality.

  I don't know what Mo Yang ate either, but it seems like he's fine.

  Wen Baiyu stood up, and Wan Jie Jinghou also stood up. Wan Jie Jinghou was very tall, and Wen Baiyu's long coat almost covered his thighs. As soon as he stood up, Wan Jie Jinghou's straight legs were exposed, making Wen Baiyu dizzy.

  Wen Baiyu coughed and said, "You'd better sit down."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyes have always been blood red, but his consciousness has completely cleared up. It is not known if there are any after effects, currently he looks normal except for his eyes...

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked down at himself and couldn't help but laugh, saying: "You look every day, yet you're still shy?"

  Wen Baiyu really wanted to pounce on him and pinch him to death, but she gave him a white eye and said: "I'll go take a look around."

  He said as he walked aside, Mo Yang also stood up and said: "You're not safe alone, I'll go with you to take a look."

  Mo Yang said to Wan Qi Jing Hou and Peng Si Ye: "You guys don't move, we'll be right back."

  Two people walked deeper, the cave was very large, they searched around the corners and found a black backpack, which was already wet through. Inside were food and water, the food was vacuum-packed, the water was sealed, although it had been soaked, but inside it wasn't wet, this made both people feel somewhat excited.

  After all, this place is very strange, if there is no food and water, it's just waiting for death.

  Compressed food, a big bag full of it, looks like at least three days' worth.

  Two people looked inside again, the cave was very dark and couldn't see the end, can't go in rashly, if you want to go in, four people must go together.

  Two people quickly walked back, put their backpacks on the ground, and everyone took out all the things, counted them, and if they were saved a little, they would be enough for three or four days. If they couldn't get out in three or four days, then hope was slim.

  At the very bottom of the backpack, they also found a small cloth package wrapped in waterproof fabric, which turned out to be a small fire starter.

  The lighter rod has no water bubbles, brand new and unused, now this condition is already very good for such a lighting tool.

  Everyone stood up and prepared to walk deeper into the cave to see if they could find an exit and get out of this haunted place.

  Wen Baiyu is now worried about how Zi Che and Xue Bo are doing. Xue Bo has injuries on his body, which are quite severe and will not heal easily for the time being. It's unknown whether soaking in water will make it worse or not.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou put his backpack on his back and asked Wen Bai Yu if he was injured.

  Wen Baiyu shook her head and said, "It's just a few sips of water."

  Wen Baiyu thought of Mo Yang's wound and asked: "How is your injury?"

  Mo Yang said: "It's almost done, walking normally is no problem."

  Everyone prepared a bit and then decided to head deeper, because there was only one lighter, Wen Baiyu didn't dare use it immediately, waiting until the emergency situation arose before using it, or else they wouldn't be able to light it.

  It was very quiet in the cave, pitch black, they stretched out their hands to feel the wall and moved forward slowly.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou had been tightly holding onto Wen Bai Yu's hand, and judging from the strength of his grip, Wan Jie Jing Hou was in a state of high tension. Wen Bai Yu could feel it, and the reason why Wan Jie Jing Hou looked so calm was probably because he was exerting great self-control. The blue needle had a significant impact on him.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou seemed to have seen Wen Bai Yu's gaze, turned his head, and gave Wen Bai Yu a reassuring smile. Wen Bai Yu didn't know what kind of feeling was in her heart, but instead became even more worried.

  They kept walking in, and the cave gradually became narrower, from a distance as wide as a basketball court to only being able to accommodate two people side by side, turning into a tunnel-like passageway.

  "Old Peng looked at this tunnel and frowned, saying: 'This wasn't formed naturally.'"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "According to what you said, if Qin Shi Huang wanted to find Peng Zu's tomb in Si Shui, then behind the bronze gate, there might be a passage leading to Peng Zu's tomb."

  However, the bronze gate was locked and apparently one-time use, not wanting to let people open it again, and tied with so many iron chains, indicating that there must be something terrible behind it, they may encounter potential danger.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly froze and said: "There's a bloody smell."

  "Boom!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou frowned and said: "Gunshot."

  A huge gunshot suddenly came from the depths of the cave, followed by two more "Bang! Bang..." The sound of the gun was not an illusion, and it brought a huge echo with it.

  Everyone heard the sound and knew that there must be someone in front, so they immediately quickened their pace and ran inside. A strong smell of blood wafted over, and the tunnel suddenly opened up ahead, as if entering a huge hall from a very long corridor.

  This "vestibule" was as big as a basketball court. A figure stood with his back to them, holding a gun. The three shots just now must have been fired by him.

  The figure was disheveled, drenched from head to toe, panting heavily, and staring intensely around. Upon hearing footsteps behind him, he immediately turned around, ready to open fire on them.

  Wen Baiyu's face turned ugly as soon as he saw him, it was actually Fang Jing!

  With a disheveled appearance, he held a gun in his hand and didn't even see who it was, firing two shots at them "Bang! Bang!"

  Mo Yang just had time to shout "Be careful!"

  But the gun was too fast and could only wipe a sweat for Wen Baiyu who was running in front.

  At this moment, Wan Kuang Jing Hou's body suddenly moved at a ghostly speed, blocking Wen Bai Yu in front of him. The crowd did not see the bloody scene that was supposed to unfold, but only heard "ding dang, ding dang..." two sounds.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly loosened his grip, and the two bullets fell to the ground. His bloodshot eyes brightened instantly, and his gaze at Fang Jing was somewhat ferocious.

  Fang Jing was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground, his hand holding the gun trembling nonstop, as if he had seen a ghost, saying: "You... you are... a ghost!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stared at him, suddenly rushed up, and heard a "bang" sound. Fang Jing immediately let out a mournful cry, his body flew out in an instant, and with a "thud", he crashed into the stone wall of the cave, instantly fell back from the stone wall, spat out a mouthful of blood, and hurriedly wiped his mouth with his hand, his face turned pale with fright.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's actions were too ruthless, and everyone was shocked. They watched as Wan Kuang Jing Hou's breathing became more and more labored, his fists clenched, his entire body filled with a violent aura, as if he would transform into a terrifying dragon at any moment.

  Wen Baiyu immediately rushed up from behind and hugged Wan Jijinghou, saying: "Wan Jijinghou, wake up!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou was suddenly freed from his restraints, and with a swift movement, he broke free from the ropes that bound him. He turned around, his eyes cold and menacing as he glared at Wen Bai Yu. Wen Bai Yu was startled by Wan Kuang's gaze, which seemed to hold a hint of madness within its depths, as if he had lost all reason and no longer recognized him.

  Wen Baiyu's heart tightened, grabbing his collar and saying: "Wan Kuang Jing Hou, look at me! I am Wen Baiyu! Wake up!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou was dazed for a moment, staring at him with a ferocious expression on his face, but soon a low growl emerged from his throat, as if he was struggling violently to break free from the chaos.

  Wen Baiyu saw this and tightly hugged him, only able to shout out Wan Jijinghou's name over and over again.

  It took about half a minute for Wan Jie Jing Hou to wake up from his unconscious state, panting heavily as if trying to calm down the violent anger surging in his heart.

  At this time, a "bang" was heard. It turned out that Fang Jing wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but was kicked back by someone. Then, he saw Zi Che walking over from afar, with bloodstains on his shoulder and carrying Xue Bai who was injured and unconscious, looking very disheveled.

  It turned out that Fang Jing's gunshot earlier was actually aimed at Zi Che.

  They were swept away by the floodwaters, and Xue Bai was too weak, directly fainting. Zi Che grabbed onto Xue Bai, struggling to grab onto something, not wanting to be washed away by the floodwaters, but still failed. They also saw the cave.

  The child didn't know where they were, but Xue Bai needed treatment and couldn't afford to waste any time. So the child carried Xue Bai and kept moving forward without stopping, trying to find a way out. They found a backpack that had been washed away, inside which there was some water, as well as a wet garment. There was nothing else.

  At this time, he met Fang Jing. Fang Jing was thirsty and tired, wanting to grab the water in Zi's backpack. He had a gun in his hand, so naturally he opened fire without saying a word.

  Fang Jing was kicked to the ground by Zhang Wuji, and was so scared that he couldn't move. He looked up and saw Peng Qianwu, and immediately shouted: "Boss Peng, save me!"

  "Mind you, don't try to get close to me. You've already secretly plotted against General Wan Jie, and now you want to drag me down with you?"

  Fang Jing immediately got up, his face was delicate, and at this time, his eyes were filled with tears, the corners of his mouth were bloody, and he had a pitiful expression. He said: "I didn't, I really didn't, I just... I didn't want to harm Wan Ku Da Ge, the situation was too urgent at that time, so many dumplings were chasing us, I just heard that the needle... could... stimulate potential, Wan Ku Da Ge is already so powerful, if you stimulate your potential again, you will definitely become even more powerful... I really didn't want to harm Wan Ku Da Ge..."

  Wen Baiyu had been furious for a long time, and just now he stopped Wan Kuang Jinghou, not because he was afraid that he would beat Fang Jing to death, but because he was worried that he would go crazy and lose his mind.

  Wen Baiyu heard him call out "Big Brother Wanxi" one by one, but at that time he ruthlessly launched a sneak attack on Wanxi Jinghou, and a fire rose up in his heart.

  Although Hong Yu was a gentle deity, Wen Baiyu felt that after going through so many things, he could no longer be gentle. He immediately stood up from the ground, took two steps forward, and grabbed Fang Jing's collar.

  Fang Jing let out a loud roar and said: "What are you trying to... Ah!!"

  He said, and with a loud wail, the sound of "thud thud thud" was heard. Wen Baiyu raised his fist and slammed it into Fang Jing's face three times, each blow drawing blood. Fang Jing's head was immediately smashed open, and blood flowed out in an instant. His nose was also pummeled flat, and nasal blood suddenly gushed out.

  Wen Baiyu punched three times, feeling a bit painful in his hand. He then started kicking with his feet, and against Fang Jing, he began to kick fiercely again. Fang Jing changed from crazy shouting to begging for mercy, shouting: "Stop hitting! Stop hitting! I was wrong... Spare me! Spare me!"

  Wen Baiyu's whole body was drenched in sweat, his breathing was very heavy, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he had eaten something that didn't agree with him. Panting constantly, he coldly smiled as he grabbed Fang Jing's collar and roared at him: "You're wrong! Tell me where you went wrong! Are you pretending to be stupid?! Do you dare to loudly tell me whether or not you know that the needle can get people addicted?! Tell me!"

  Fang Jing had always thought that Wen Baiyu was a weakling, after all, Wen Baiyu's physique was very slender, shorter than Wan Kuang by a head, and he even wore long hair, usually smiling and gentle. Who would have seen Wen Baiyu shouting so loudly that his voice was hoarse? Fang Jing was scared to the point where she forgot to beg for mercy.

  Wen Baiyu finished roaring, his hands relaxed, and he kicked Fang Jing's stomach twice. Fang Jing was in so much pain that he almost rolled over, begging and shouting: "I know! I know! But I was also forced to do this! Someone made me do it! I just...just...don't kill me! Please don't hit me anymore! I really know how to get out of here!"

  Wen Baiyu's anger had already reached its boiling point, her mind buzzing with rage. She didn't even hear Fang Jing's loud shouts as she kicked out several more times. The onlookers were all stunned, having never seen Wen Baiyu beat someone up like this before.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou walked over, grabbed Wen Bai Yu's hand from behind, and hugged him. He bent down, rested his chin on Wen Bai Yu's shoulder, and gently rubbed against him, saying: "Shh... it's okay, be quiet, your hands are all bruised, it hurts me to see that."

  Wen Bai's face was flushed, her eyes slowly returning to their normal black color from a deep red. She turned around, glaring fiercely at Wan Qi Jing Hou and said: "You're not allowed to hit him anymore, are you still sympathizing with him?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and pinched his chin, turning his face around, with Wen Bai Yu's lips lightly sucking, saying: "I pity you..."

  He said, raising his head, and suddenly his face turned cold, a pair of blood-red eyes staring at Fang Jing who was half-dead on the ground, saying: "He just knows the way out."

  Wen Baiyu sneered and said, "It's probably a delaying tactic."

  "Fang Jing shouted loudly: "No! Really not! I told you everything, really not! This time I didn't cheat you! Someone gave me that needle and said that this time Wang Qiying would also go down to the grave together. And they told me there was a road behind the bronze gate, after getting it, we can open the bronze gate and escape. I really know the way! Really!"

  "Hey, Peng Siye suddenly interrupted: "The iron filings on both sides of the tunnel are your masterpiece, aren't they?"

  Fang Jing was stunned for a moment, then said with difficulty: "It wasn't me who did it, but I knew about it beforehand."

  Fang Jing feared they would kill him, so he immediately said: "I really know the way, Mr. Xue was seriously injured, we don't have any food either, I won't deceive you, let's hurry up and get out, I can lead you out!"

  Wen Baiyu didn't speak, after a while, he coldly said: "Who told you to do this?"

  Fang Jing said: "I... I don't know, I've never seen him, he just transferred the money to my account and sent me the goods, I really haven't seen him, we didn't even have a phone call, I haven't even heard his voice."

  Nothing was gained.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly became angry in her heart and kicked Fang Jing again. Fang Jing shouted hoarsely until she was exhausted.

  This is a strange cave, to be honest, even if Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou can go without food or drink, let alone the children's car, Xue Bo cannot do it, Mo Yang and Peng Siye also cannot do it, especially Xue Bo.

  Wen Baiyu was furious, his chest heaving up and down. Wan Qi Jing Hou hugged him, laughing and saying: "Don't worry, after we get out of here, if you're still angry, we'll chop him into eight pieces. What do you say?"

  He said, and then kissed Wen Baiyu's lips again.

  Fang Jing listened to Da Duo Suo, Wan Kuang Jing Hou was clearly flirting with Wen Bai Yu, but it made his hair stand on end.

  Wen Baiyu didn't go to Fang Jing again, but instead walked over to Zi Che and Xue Bo. There was a gunshot wound on Zi Che's shoulder, but the bullet had only grazed him and hadn't lodged inside, it was just a superficial flesh wound.

  Xue Bai's wound split open, the wound was on his abdomen, but Zi Che could only carry him and run, especially when they were in the water, it would definitely tear/open the wound, and the wound would be soaked in the water.

  Wen Baiyu and the others didn't have any medical equipment, not even cotton swabs. They had to cut open their own hands and drip blood onto Xue Bo's body. Zi Che was worried, his eyebrows furrowed together as he stared at Xue Bo without blinking.

  Peng Siye walked over, picked up the gun on the ground, and a few bullets. He handed the gun to Mo Yang and said, "There are five more rounds left, keep them for self-defense."

  Mo Yang said: "I have a peach wood needle, you take it."

  Peng Siye thought for a moment and shook his head, saying: "You take it, anyway..."

  Anyway, I'm also done for.

  Peng Siye thought, as if to prove his own idea, suddenly started coughing violently and spat out some blood. This time there was a lot of blood, Peng Siye had no handkerchief or tissue on him, so he could only use the back of his hand to wipe it away. Unfortunately, there was too much blood, and both hands were wiping for two or three times before it stopped.

  Mo Yang looked at him with a shocked expression and asked: "You... what's wrong with you?"

  Peng Siye didn't say a word, only shook his head, and forcibly stuffed the gun into Mo Yang's hand. Then he walked to the side and sat down, irritably staring at the blood on the back of his own hand.

  Can't help but say, Peng Siye saw Mo Yang care about himself, even if it's just a little bit of concern, he would be afraid. Originally very carefree, able to live one day at a time, anyway, this life he has earned enough money, seen many rare treasures, nothing to regret. But now it's not possible, he is afraid of death, he wants to take a few more glances at Mo Yang, a strong feeling of reluctance to part.

  Xue Bai woke up quickly, Wen Baiyu's blood was very effective, Zicheng knew this, Xue Bai's complexion recovered quickly, the wounds on his body were healing, but due to excessive blood loss, he was still very weak.

  Zi Che saw that he was awake, a normally calm and mature young man, yet his eyes were red-rimmed. Xue Bai couldn't bear to see Zi Che like this, saying: "Good child, don't cry..."

  The little cart hurriedly bowed down and said: "Uncle, is your wound still painful?"

  Xue Bai shook his head and said, "Don't worry."

  Xue Bai's breath is so weak, Wen Baiyu dare not take the risk of going on the road. If he continues to tear open his wound, he can still use the Phoenix Blood, but Xue Bai will suffer and lose his vital energy which cannot be replenished.

  Now all they can do is wait for time, waiting for Xue Bai's wound to heal, fortunately this time is not too long.

  And after such a long time of struggling, everyone is also tired and exhausted, just sit down and rest for a while.

  The child turned over the water in the backpack, unscrewed the cap, supported Xue Bai to sit up, and fed him a little bit. Xue Bai drank with some difficulty.

  Xue Bai saw that Zhang's lips were parched and said: "You must be thirsty too, have a drink."

  The young monk hastily shook his head and said: "Master, rest for a while, close your eyes and nurture your spirit."

  They don't have much water left, how can the child dare to drink it, Xue Bai was injured and needs to recover his body, but there is no food, if there is no water, how can he recover.

  Mo Yang and Peng Siye looked at Fang Jing, who couldn't get up for the time being. He was more seriously injured, but it was all superficial wounds that didn't affect anything. They looked quite gruesome, in short, Wen Baiyu hadn't shown any mercy.

  Wen Baiyu rummaged through her backpack, took out some food and distributed it to everyone. Then she saw the backpack that Zi Che had picked up, which contained a piece of clothing - a pair of pants.

  Wen Baiyu hastily handed his pants over to Wan Qi Jinghou and said: "You don't have to show off your butt anymore, hurry up and put them on."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou smiled and leaned against the stone wall without moving, saying: "You dress me, I don't want to move."

  Wen Baiyu immediately felt a bit tense and asked: "Are you uncomfortable? Where does it hurt?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's fiery eyes glanced at Wen Bai Yu, then suddenly stretched out his hand to wrap around him, pinning him in his own arms. In a hoarse voice, he whispered in his ear: "Have you forgotten? I told you before that besides having a violent temper, Candle Dragon has another characteristic."

  Wen Baiyu was hugged by him, her body unstable, and her hands just happened to press onto a certain unmentionable place...

  Wen Baiyu's face turned red as if she had been scalded, and she said awkwardly: "What's wrong with you? Either you're in a bad mood or you're being overly emotional."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou buried his head in Wen Bai Yu's neck and took two deep breaths, saying: "I feel like I'm going to explode."

  Wen Baiyu said: "You..."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took another breath and said: "Kiss me."

  Wen Baiyu turned her head to the side, saw Wan Jingshou's blood-red eyes, and really leaned in, slowly kissing his lips.

  Wen Baiyu was being affectionate, yet cautious, while sneaking glances at Wang Jingshou's expression. However, she saw Wang Jingshou's face growing increasingly solemn, and suddenly he grasped her shoulder, pulling the two of them slightly apart.

  "Alright, forget it, let's just not kiss, I'm afraid I really can't hold back, just like when I'm fighting a cat."

  Wen Baiyu hesitated for a moment and said: "You... can you hold on? We have to go out first."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou gently stroked Wen Bai Yu's cheek and let out a low humming noise, saying: "Mm."

  He said, and then went to pinch Wen Baiyu's wrist, saying: "Put it on for me."

  Wen Baiyu quickly helped Wan Jie Jinghou put it on, but Wan Jie Jinghou's body temperature was really high and scary. Accidentally touching Wan Jie Jinghou's skin made him feel like he was going to burn up. Wen Baiyu seemed to understand a bit, saying that if he exploded, it would be very uncomfortable.

  Everyone rested for a while, and as soon as they did, Xue Bai fell asleep. Mo Yang struggled in the water with Peng Siye, exhausting himself, and eventually fell asleep too. Peng Siye carefully moved him over to lean against his own body, then reached out and gently touched Mo Yang's hair.

  Mo Yang's hair felt very soft, he fell asleep afterwards, that kind of stern protective shell was retracted, still the Mo Yang that Peng Siye had known many years ago.

  Peng Siye looked at Mo Yang in his arms, feeling a mix of emotions. He lowered his head, seemingly wanting to kiss Mo Yang's cheek, but stopped himself. Instead, he half-lowered his head and said softly: "Mo Yang, you have no idea how much I like you... probably as much as you dislike me. I've always wanted to apologize to you, but didn't have the courage to say it out loud. If I don't say it now... maybe I'll never have the chance."

  Old Peng said with a bitter smile, and then fell silent.

  Mo Yang leaned against Peng Siye's chest, because she was really too tired and didn't hear anything at all.

  After several hours, Xue Bai and Mo Yang finally woke up, and everyone else had rested enough to prepare to go out.

  Fang Jing was beaten like a pig's head, his eyes were swollen, his head was swollen, and his nose was still crooked. He spoke in a muffled tone.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him, Fang Jing was trembling with fear, saying: "I... I know the way, follow me."

  He said, gesturing for a few people to follow him, and then headed deeper into the cave.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "What place is this?"

  Fang Jing heard Wan Kui Jing Hou's voice and was also frightened, saying: "It... it is Peng Zu's tomb."

  Everyone listened and couldn't help but be stunned. It was indeed Peng Zu's tomb, and the previous tomb was just like what Old Man Peng said.

  Fang Jing brought out some things for them and had a certain reputation on the road, many people came to cooperate. Not long ago, an employer came, but the employer did not show up in person. Fang Jing received a letter that told him to do as required and would give him a large sum of money. The letter also included a colored feather.

  Wen Baiyu furrowed her brow and muttered: "Black feathers?"

  Fang Jing didn't dare to deceive them and said: "I was also instructed by someone else, actually I don't know anything at all, really."

  The letter made an arrangement, saying that many Tufu would gather in Xuzhou, and at that time, there would be a Peng Siye to join forces with him. Fang Jing could then follow the trend and enter the team to arrive in Xuzhou. The female corpse in the forest was also within the employer's arrangement.

  Peng Siye was somewhat surprised, he didn't expect that his every move would also be seen through so clearly. What kind of situation is this? Maybe this employer knows more than he lets on?

  The female corpse, the mountain cave of Da Pengguo, entering the tomb, and encountering the team of Wan Kui Jinghou are all within the employer's calculations.

  The employer asked Fang Jing to do was to take them around the tomb, and then come out. However, Fang Jing was very disdainful of such things, but he checked his account and found that there were already astronomical numbers on the deposit.

  Wen Baiyu frowned and said: "This is not right, you ambushed Wang Jihou, and the road behind the bronze gate, you didn't mention any of these."

  Fang Jing said: "It's not over yet, it's really not over, I really don't dare to lie."

  This is the employer's plan, very easy and relaxed, and it's said that there's an elixir of immortality in a tomb in Xuzhou, so Fang Jing was naturally tempted and decided to go once.

  However, just before departure, Fang Jing received a message from his employer, another letter, saying that the situation had changed. The employer said in the letter that iron filings were applied to the tunnel, and his plan suddenly changed. Two things were attached to the envelope: one was a blue needle with only one shot, which could stimulate human potential; the second was a map of Peng Zu's tomb behind the bronze door.

  The employer asked Fang Jing to use this needle to ambush Wan Qi Jing Hou, as for why, he didn't say. Next, after the ambush, let Fang Jing escape through the bronze gate, the map cannot be carried with him, and must be memorized before departure, burn it afterwards.

  Fang Jing said: "After I memorized it, I burned it."

  Wen Baiyu frowned and said, "This doesn't feel right."

  "Fang Jing shouted immediately: 'Everything I said is true! Not a single word was false! Really, I don't want to die, and it's impossible for me to lie now!'"

  Wen Baiyu was still puzzled in her heart. The master of the black feathers had always been straightforward and never hesitated, so why did he send two letters for one thing, and even changed his plan halfway through? The first letter didn't mean to kill them at all, but the second letter clearly wanted to kill them. These two intentions were completely different.

  Wen Baiyu said: "The second letter, is there a black feather?"

  Fang Jing thought for a moment and said, "No."

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Nothing?"

  Fang Jing nodded vigorously and said, "Really, there isn't."

  Wen Baiyu glanced at Wan Kuang Jinghou, and both of them thought of another possibility at the same time. Perhaps someone else had killed in between, impersonating the master of the black feathers, and then used Fang Jing as a gun.

  The blue needle is Dr. Wang's research product, but previously Dr. Wang also had connections with Professor Fang, it's really hard to say whether Dr. Wang's research has been obtained by others or not.

  However, it is clear that this person knew that Wan Jie Jing Hou had been pierced by a needle once before, and after the second piercing, he was likely to become addicted. He wanted to get rid of Wan Jie Jing Hou. When Wan Jie Jing Hou went crazy, no one recognized him, and at the same time, he also wanted to use Wan Jie Jing Hou's hands to get rid of everyone.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly had a strange idea, but it flashed by and she couldn't grasp what the strange thought was. She always felt that this second fake "employer" still had some tricks up his sleeve waiting for them...

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is the money transferred to a silver/bank card?"

  Fang Jing nodded vigorously and immediately said: "I'll give it all to you! Please don't kill me, I was just momentarily greedy for wealth. The amount was too huge, I was tempted, but in my heart, I didn't want to do it. Who dares to offend Master Jing? But that amount is really too big."

  Wen Baiyu didn't want that money, it was transferred to a bank card, there must be a transaction record, and the source of the money can definitely be investigated, so I guess the employer can be found.

  Everyone walked along the cave towards the inside, and in front of them was a relatively narrow passage. Immediately afterwards, they saw a huge stone gate, which was surprisingly half-opened, and it seemed that it had been half-opened for some years.

  Fang Jing said: "That's right, it's just like this, exactly the same as on the map."

  Wen Baiyu said: "The tomb's map is so complicated, how can you remember it?"

  Fang Jing said: "No, it's not complicated at all, very simple. So I just remembered to burn it. If it were really complicated, how dare I burn it?"

  Wen Baiyu felt more and more that something was off, the map of Peng Zu's tomb was actually very simple? Then why did Qin Shi Huang go to such great lengths to refine the undead to dig up the grave back then?

  Many people walked through the stone gate and went in. Behind it was indeed a tomb passage, with murals carved on both sides of the tomb passage. Although there were no colors, the relief sculptures were vivid and detailed, looking absolutely like carefully crafted artworks. The person buried inside must be above the marquis level.

  After entering the stone gate, I don't know what kind of stone the stone wall is here. It's actually a bit bright and not as dark as in the cave. They can vaguely see the road ahead and with this faint light, they can clearly see the carvings on the stone wall.

  Fang Jing suddenly let out a loud "Ah!" and everyone thought they had found the zongzi, so they immediately gathered around. Then they saw Fang Jing pointing at the mural on the wall and saying: "How is it that there are black-haired zongzi here? Did Peng Zu know one thousand years ago that Qin Shi Huang would use black-haired zongzi to overturn his dipper?"

  Everyone looked and saw that on the wall carving was a group of people, indeed in human form, but with hair all over their bodies, stretching out their arms as if they were about to fly up into the sky.

  Peng Siye took one look and burst out laughing, saying: "You're also a country bumpkin, yet you can't even tell the difference between zongzi and yuanbao."

  Fang Jing was ridiculed for a moment, her face turned slightly red, but she didn't make a scene.

  "Ah," said Peng Siye, "this is a feathered immortal who has achieved ascension. The things growing on his body are feathers."

  Perhaps the black-haired zombies refined by Zi Che, in fact, were also modeled after these winged people. The black hair of the black-haired zombies was very long and at first glance, they did look somewhat similar.

  Peng Siye carefully looked at the murals on the tomb passage, and couldn't help but touch them, saying: "Although I don't know if this is Peng Zu's tomb or not, it's indeed a grand tomb of the Peng State. The murals above have distinct characteristics, all depicting anecdotes of Peng Zu's nourishing form. I never thought that before my death, I would be able to see these."

  Peng Siye was somewhat agitated, and his words were also tinged with emotion. He didn't even notice what he was saying, but everyone else heard him clearly. They immediately thought of Peng Siye's constant coughing up blood and guessed that he had long known something was wrong with himself, and that his time was running out.

  Mo Yang looked at him, but Peng Siye didn't notice and continued to walk in, reaching out to touch the stone carvings, seemingly very moved.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Are people from Dapeng really all so long-lived?"

  Many historians believe that Peng Zu lived for 800 years, but in fact, it refers to the existence of Da Peng State for 800 years, which was destroyed by Wu Ding after 800 years. Some people also think that the so-called 800-year-old is actually a virtual age, using a "small flower Jia counting method", 60 star gods rotate one week as one year, calculated in this way, Peng Zu is also 130 years old. In modern times, it is also considered long-lived. Moreover, Peng Zu was good at health preservation and cooking, and Da Peng State indeed had records of longevity.

  Wen Baiyu said: "You understand so well, and you also have the surname Peng."

  Peng Siye smiled and said, "You've figured it out. My ancestors were indeed the direct descendants of Peng Zu, so I know more about the Great Peng Kingdom because of our family's teachings and historical records."

  Wen Baiyu coughed and said: "Ah, I heard that Mr. Peng is... how old this year?"

  He said, and then shook his hand, saying: "That's it, if it's too presumptuous, don't answer."

  Peng Siye was taken aback for a moment, then reached out to touch his nose and coughed, but it wasn't a real cough, just clearing his throat. He said, "How old do you think I am?"

  "Thirty?" White Feather Fox asked doubtfully.

  Peng Siye touched his nose again and said: "I'm forty-three."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu's mind shouted "damn it", she didn't expect Peng Siye to be a middle-aged man, and his age was completely unrecognizable. Moreover, Peng Siye's movements and reaction ability were not like those of a person in their 40s at all.

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, and she calculated Mo Yang's age. Peng Siye seemed to have intentions towards Mo Yang, but Mo Yang's attitude towards Peng Siye was very unclear.

  Wen Baiyu knew that Mo Yang was 26 years old, the same as himself. That is to say, Peng Siniang was 17 years older than Mo Yang! She was a whole generation older and still had an affair with him!

  Mo Yang was also extremely shocked, staring at Peng Siye for half a day without saying a word.

  It was three years ago that Mo Yang met Peng Siye. At that time, Peng Siye looked very young too, and at that time, Peng Siye was still recklessly tyrannical, Mo Yang was in so much pain that he almost died, and was also scared to death, only feeling that Peng Siye was like a madman, with incredible physical strength, and no matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like a 40-year-old person...

  Wen Baiyu snapped out of her daze and said, "Then you should also live a long life, so why did you just say 'before I die'?"

  Peng Siye was taken aback, and only then did he recall that he had misspoken. Seeing Mo Yang also looking over, he smiled and shook his head, saying: "You've misheard."

  Peng Siye obviously didn't want to say anything, just then, suddenly a loud roar was heard from afar, followed by the sound of "thumping", as if something was rushing straight out of the tomb passage in the distance.

  Everyone was shocked, and Fang Jing immediately said: "What's that sound? Is... is there a dumpling? Gun, return my gun quickly!"

  Mo Yang pulled out a gun and handed it to Peng Siye, then pinched the peach wood needle between his fingers, as if fully alert. Peng Siye looked at him for a moment, but didn't say anything else.

  Wen Baiyu let go of Zi Che's car and supported Xue Bo to move back, his hand turned over, and the phoenix bone dagger was already held in his palm.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou was getting more and more out of breath, in the dimly lit tomb passage, only occasionally hearing angry roars, as well as Wan Jie Jing Hou's panting sounds, the heavy panting sounds seemed to be about to turn into low growls at any moment.

  Something approaching in the tomb passage brought a fierce and murderous aura, this aura seemed to provoke Wan Qi Jing Hou, his fiery red eyes became bloodshot, the violent anger that had been suppressed in his body was about to erupt.

  Wen Baiyu grabbed Wan Jieying Hou's hand and found his palm was hot, saying: "Breathe in, breathe in, whatever you do, don't lose control, Wan Jieying Hou..."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's palm tightened, pinching Wen Bai Yu's hand in his, taking a deep breath, his voice slightly hoarse, saying: "Don't worry, I can control it."

  "Roar——"

  A loud roar.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou gathered his palms together and suddenly let go of Wen Bai Yu, blocking him behind him, saying lightly: "He's here."
