Chapter 102: Cold Cicada Drinks Blood 4
It's Boss Tang's own heart.
Mr. Tang's hand was clutching his own heart...
Everyone who saw it frowned, this look must be hopeless. From the time they heard the sound to the time they rushed here, there was not much time. The person who took action was quick and neat, and did not leave any clues behind. In an instant, he disappeared again.
On their way, they saw two dead men, but the two people should be in another tomb passage. As a result, both of them appeared before them and were just killed.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou put down Wen Bai Yu, letting him lean against the tomb wall to stand firm. He himself walked over, squatted down to examine Tang Lao Ban's corpse, and then quickly searched his body with both hands. His hand paused for a moment before swiftly retrieving a jade cicada from inside the clothes' inner pocket.
Wen Baiyu recognized the jade cicada, which actually belonged to Ershan, the stall owner. Ershan didn't know where he got it from, probably some Han tomb. The craftsmanship of the jade cicada was very ancient and atmospheric, with black bloodstains in the recessed grooves on its surface.
The Han people liked to put a piece of jade in the mouth of the dead, most of which were carved into the shape of a jade cicada, symbolizing eternal life and rebirth.
This jade cicada was obviously placed in the dead person's mouth, but this person must have been dead before putting the jade cicada in, not when they took their last breath. Otherwise, the jade cicada should be stained with blood all over, rather than having a faint black-red color.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou held Yu Chan in his hand and looked at her repeatedly twice, frowning involuntarily.
"What's wrong?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I've always been curious, how is the map displayed on Yu Huan's body?"
He said, holding the jade cicada in the palm of his hand for everyone to see. The front of the jade cicada had only a few sparse cuts, but it had already carved out a vivid and lifelike cicada, while the back was flat and empty.
This jade cicada is obviously a treasure of the Han Dynasty, with vivid and lifelike carvings. Yu Wei Yang looked at it repeatedly for two rounds and said: "It's very smooth on top, and there are no burrs, I really don't know."
Tangzi said: "There is no map on this jade cicada at all."
Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded.
Wen Baiyu was taken aback and said, "Were we deceived by Boss Tang?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Perhaps, Boss Tang didn't tell the truth. He came to this ancient tomb, possibly relying not on Yu Cui's map, but on his so-called family records."
Wan Xi Jing Hou pinched the jade cicada, turned it over, and saw that the back of the jade cicada was flat and smooth, but in the middle there was a small recessed groove, inside which there was something like a card head, made extremely delicate, if not looked at carefully, it would be impossible to discover.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "This should be a key."
Yu Wei Yang said in surprise: "Key? To open a door? What door?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head, put away the jade hairpin and said: "Let's go first."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They couldn't keep staring at Boss Tang's corpse forever, after all. Boss Tang must have been terrified when he died; his expression was indescribable.
Wan Qi Jing Hou wanted to pick up Wen Bai Yu, but Wen Bai Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "Just support me."
Wan Xi Jing Hou did not insist, and supported Wen Bai Yu as they walked forward, with everyone else closely following behind.
The path is very long and this tomb should be built through the mountain, which is relatively rare in Han tombs. It also looks very magnificent.
After walking for a long time, everything in front was dark/black. Using the flashlight to shine, barely saw a faint white light from the flashlight, the murals were all about singing and dancing, peaceful and prosperous scenes.
As they walked, they suddenly heard a "hahaha... hahaha..." laughter coming from the depths of the tomb passage, and everyone was startled.
After all, this is a deep tomb passage, and someone has just died. When the person died, everyone's intercoms rang out, and it's likely that not only them, but also people on the other path heard it, yet laughter came from somewhere.
That laughter was filled with a luxurious atmosphere, and it wasn't just one person laughing, but a group of people laughing together. The sound of "hahaha... hahaha..." came from afar, leaving everyone somewhat perplexed.
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Go take a look."
The crowd immediately followed, and after walking not far, the sound of laughter grew louder and closer. In a short distance, a fork in the road appeared, which seemed to be where the roads that had split earlier merged back together again.
Everyone ignored this fork in the road and continued walking forward. A tomb appeared ahead, and laughter came from inside it.
Inside the tomb, a long-lasting lamp was lit, and the entire tomb was actually made of gold, looking very luxurious. In the middle of the tomb, a set of musical instruments were placed, surrounded by many figurines of musicians, all of whom were palace maidens in appearance, but none of them wore clothes, each one naked, some beating drums, others playing the zither, as if performing something.
But the tomb was not so simple, apart from Ren Yu, there were many big living people inside. Wen Baiyu first saw Ershan, then Baozi, this was the only one he could call by name, and there were several others, all of whom were in the team, but Wen Baiyu couldn't remember their names.
Including Er Shan, everyone was laughing loudly with their mouths open "Haha", and while laughing, they were dancing in the tomb chamber. Their dance movements were very exaggerated, as if they were crazy, jumping and dancing while occasionally ringing the bell, plucking the strings of the zither, and even hugging and touching each other intimately.
Everyone was stunned at the sight. These people were obviously possessed by evil spirits, otherwise how could they be hugging each other and laughing and jumping with joy?
Yishan was estimated to have laughed himself tired, but his brain was still excited, controlling him to continue laughing. Yishan's mouth was slightly ajar, with saliva flowing out from the corner of his mouth and dripping all over his body. However, he didn't even notice it himself, still opening his mouth wide in laughter, jumping wildly while laughing, and because he was really exhausted, he would fall to the ground after one jump, then get up again "hahaha" laughing loudly, continuing to laugh and jump.
Yu Wei Yang's eyelids twitched as he looked at them and said: "They..."
His words were not yet finished, when Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyes narrowed and he suddenly picked up the bronze drum at his feet. The bronze drum flew up and hit Er Shan's chest, Er Shan was already unable to stand and was knocked flying by the blow, "thud!" He crashed into the musical instruments, and a loud crash was heard, Er Shan had crushed a row of instruments, even the people playing them were knocked over, the instruments were overturned, and the tomb chamber slowly fell silent.
"That's all antiques from the Western Han Dynasty!"
Tang Zian comforted Yu Wei Yang saying: "Boss Yu, these are not good things, the music has a hypnotic power."
The music stopped quickly, and the people in the tomb slowly woke up. Some of them collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, with no idea what had happened.
"Two mountains and one see many people, saying: 'This... Master Jing? How are you also here?'"
Wan Kuang didn't answer his words, Er Shan looked around and said: "Hey, we're missing two people, where did Tang Laoban and Lao Zhang go? Has anyone seen them?"
Er Shan Zheng asked others, and they all looked confused, not knowing what had happened, and said they hadn't seen anything.
Wen Baiyu said: "Don't look for them anymore, they're both dead."
Everyone was stunned at once, and Ershan exclaimed in shock: "What? Dead?"
Wen Baiyu nodded and said: "The bodies of both people are on the road we came from, they're all dead."
These people didn't even know that Boss Tang and Old Zhang were dead. It seems that when Boss Tang was screaming just now, these people were probably laughing loudly, so they didn't hear Boss Tang's voice.
Tang's corpse they could not carry, after all the tomb passage was still very long, dragging a dead man who had been disembowelled, they had no way to continue moving forward.
However, when Lao Zhang died, he was holding a photo, which Wan Qi Jing Hou brought with him.
Wan Qi Jinghou slapped the photo in front of everyone, and everyone was suddenly scared silly. At first, they were not frightened by the content of the photo, but because the photo was covered with blood, and it had not been long since they came over, the photo was still dripping with blood, and the bloodstains had not yet solidified.
Everyone gasped in unison, "Ah——" taking a deep breath of cold air, and then carefully looked at the photo.
Er Shan suddenly "this...... this...... this......" said several times, but still can't get it out.
Wen Baiyu said: "You are most familiar with Boss Tang, what is the origin of Boss Tang, and what is the origin of Little Ye, it's time to say something?"
He was a bit anxious, and he had just finished laughing loudly, extremely tired, anxiously sweating all over his head, saying: "Where did this start?! I'm really not very familiar with Boss Tang, just business dealings... That day Boss Tang was also at the night market in Panjiayuan, after you guys left, Boss Tang came and saw the jade cicada I was selling, he especially liked it, so he bought it. As for what happened afterwards, you guys already know, suddenly Boss Tang called me on the phone saying that this jade cicada is a treasure map, a huge treasure, wanting me to find some people to partner up... I... I found Master Jing..."
"What kind of person is this Ye Liu? Boss Tang and Old Zhang seemed to have some grudges against him, now they're both dead, could it be that this kid killed them?"
Second Mountain said: "Impossible! Look at that child, he's deaf and mute, and weak as a breeze. How could he kill someone?"
Er Shan paused for a moment, then said: "I really don't know that person named Ye Liu Xiang. At the time at the train station, I also saw Ye Liu Xiang for the first time and didn't understand why Boss Tang brought a little kid over. However, didn't Boss Tang already say it before when we were at the wellhead? Ye Liu Xiang should be a child bought by Boss Tang to use as bait, I know these things, you all also know them."
He said, as if he had remembered something, "Right, right, Old Zhang knew Boss Tang before, I know that. When we were in the car, Boss Tang and Old Zhang whispered something to each other, but because their voice was too low, I couldn't hear it at all."
Er Shan's repeated statement really doesn't seem very familiar with Boss Tang.
Looking at Er Shan's tense appearance, I guess he also knows just this much.
There were several men in the tomb with very tense attitudes, they were the same men who had collaborated to tease Ye Liu Xiang last time. The man who threw stones into Ye Liu Xiang's bowl was already dead, Old Zhang who tied up Ye Liu Xiang and injected him with drugs was also dead, even Tang Boss who used Ye Liu Xiang as bait was dead too. Those people couldn't help but be afraid, not knowing if they would be the next to die.
Luo Qifeng had been silent all along, and finally spoke up, saying: "The most important thing now is to find Xiao Ye."
This matter is very suspicious, obviously a revenge behavior. All the people who were not good to Ye Liu Xiang died one by one, and this time's investor, Tang Boss, has already died. Many of them have started to retreat, after all, their commission was lost in vain, and Tang Boss couldn't give them the money afterwards.
That Ye Liu Rong looks weak and fragile, but now things are too strange.
Someone trembled and said: "I think... I think we should get out of here, this tomb is too ominous, those female corpses are still around, and now there's another killer, let's..."
He said, and others also expressed their agreement. Even Ershan began to hesitate. Baozi's personality was careless, but he always had to think about money. Tang Laozhu was dead, no one paid the money, it was so dangerous here, it didn't make sense at all, and decided to retreat.
Wen Baiyu didn't want to stop these people, after all they weren't much help here and just caused trouble, so she didn't say anything and let them leave.
These people, having already decided to return, did not want to go back empty-handed, so they began to covet the musical instruments in the tomb chamber. These instruments were from the Western Han Dynasty, especially the chime bells. If a complete set of chime bells could be brought back intact, it would definitely fetch a good price.
Those instruments are obviously evil, Tufu is fine, the wound has healed and the pain is forgotten. Wan Qi Jing Hou waved his hand to let everyone leave, saying: "Don't mind them, let's go."
As the saying goes, good words can't advise those who are doomed to die. Wen Baiyu felt that it was quite right. If he really advised them, those people would probably think they had blocked their way to wealth.
Just as everyone had just walked out of the tomb, they hadn't gone far when they suddenly heard a loud "Ahhh" scream coming from inside the tomb. Then someone shouted: "It's moving! It's moving!!! Run quickly!"
Er Shan suddenly rushed out of the tomb, running towards them while shouting: "Save me!!! It's moving!!! The coffin is alive!!!"
Just then, the sound of "crack... crack..." was heard, and others quickly rushed out of the tomb, followed by several people rushing out. The outside of the coffin was wrapped in stone, but somehow it cracked open, and the stones fell off like shedding skin, revealing the zongzi inside.
Those dumplings were actually the bald female corpses they had seen before. All of them were actually bald female corpses, just wrapped in a layer of stone shells on the outside.
Those zongzi were being chased, and the stones wrapped outside slowly fell off, making a "clattering" sound.
Wan Ji Jing Hou's eyes narrowed, grabbing Wen Bai Yu's arm and saying: "Hurry up."
Wen Baiyu subconsciously reached into his pocket and grasped the round, rolling candle dragon egg, rubbing it repeatedly. As a result, he didn't dare to touch it again, and with one touch, Wen Baiyu let out a startled "ah".
Wan Qi Jing Hou thought that the female corpse was chasing up, while Wen Bai Yu said anxiously: "Egg! Egg! That crack seems to have gotten bigger!"
Because they ran so fast, Wen Baiyu couldn't see the cracks on the candle dragon egg clearly, but he could feel them. The crack had actually grown larger, previously it was just a single crack, now it had become an open gap.
They didn't have time to stay, and there were at least a dozen people behind them, all rushing out of the tomb chamber in one breath, chasing after them relentlessly.
The two mountains and the leopard child didn't dare to turn their heads and run, they went back and forth, and if they did, they would definitely have to climb up from the well mouth, but now there is a bald female corpse chasing after them, it's simply impossible to climb up, following Wan Qi Jing Hou is safer.
Wan Qi Jing Hou pulled Wen Bai Yu forward, in front of them was a chariot house, an extremely large tomb chamber, inside were all the buried chariots and horses, some were real chariots and real horse skeletons that had completely rotted away, some were made of gold or bronze, and there were also jade carvings, row upon row of chariots and horses, packed tightly together, with just enough space in between for a grown man to pass through.
The crowd surged into the carriage house, and everyone was stunned. Such a dazzling funeral object is not often seen. If it weren't for the constant pursuit of zongzi from behind, those people would have thought to make a fortune first.
The golden carriage is very eye-catching, the burial objects of the Western Han Dynasty, and there is not a bit of corrosion. Wen Baiyu said: "Is it poisonous?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and raised his voice, saying: "Don't touch anything!"
Those people behind him wanted to grab something when they were about to run away, but after hearing Wan Jie's shout in front of them, their hands shrank back and didn't dare touch anything.
A group of female corpses rushed into the carriage house, and a large carriage was knocked over by one of them. The room suddenly became chaotic, followed by a loud "Boom".
Everyone immediately looked up at the tomb, and Ershan suddenly shouted loudly: "Oh my god! The zongzi has touched the switch!!"
Wen Baiyu also looked towards the top of the grave and heard a "rustling" sound all around, as if it was coming from all directions.
Wan Xi Jing Hou immediately pulled the person into his arms and quickly ran forward, shouting: "Liu Sha, find a place to hide!"
As soon as Wan Jie Jing Hou finished speaking, a loud "boom" was heard, and the tomb suddenly burst open. The sand layer poured down, accompanied by some sharp stone fragments. Wan Jie Jing Hou protected Wen Bai Yu in his arms, and his arm was immediately cut by the stone fragments, with blood gushing out. The clothes were torn apart, and the sand fell like rain.
Just then, "Boom! Crack..." The crowd was looking for a place to hide to avoid being buried alive by the quicksand, but it turned out that this tomb still had another trick up its sleeve.
The floor of the tomb was unexpectedly hollow, and as soon as it was pressed by the flowing sand, it immediately made a cracking sound that could not bear the weight. In the midst of everyone's "ahhh" cries, the floor of the tomb suddenly cracked, and below it was clearly a live burial pit. The flowing sand and the huge chariots all fell down, as well as those blood-stained zongzi that had been smashed.
Everyone involuntarily fell down, and Wan Jie Jing Hou pulled Wen Bai Yu to the corner of the tomb chamber. The tomb chamber collapsed, and Wan Jie Jing Hou stretched out his hand and grabbed the wall fiercely, making a "crack" sound. The two people stopped in mid-air at once.
Wen Baiyu looked up and immediately said: "Let go!"
Just then, a huge boulder came crashing down towards them. Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly let go and kicked the wall with one foot, embracing Wen Bai Yu as he swung backwards. In mid-air, Wan Jie Jing Hou flipped his body over, landing on his back with a thud. The next instant, a deafening roar followed as sand came pouring down from all directions.
Although Wan Xi Jing Hou served as a meat cushion to buffer the force, the huge impact still caused Wen Bai Yu's eyes to turn black and he fainted, but his hand still tightly grasped the candle dragon egg in his sleeve.
Luo Qi suddenly fell from above, but the height of the tomb was not great, and the impact of the quicksand was huge, with many chariots and horses. These precious burial objects were smashed down, leaving no chance of survival.
Luo Qifeng only felt his head heavy, as if he had been hit by something, and suddenly lost consciousness.
His mind was dull and he didn't know how long he had been unconscious, his head felt heavy and there was a warm liquid flowing down, probably blood.
Luó Kuí Fēng wanted to open his eyes, but the dizziness was too severe, he didn't know if his head had been smashed or not, and breathing was also very difficult.
Just as he was half-dazed and half-awake, he suddenly heard a clear voice laughing and saying: "You also have wings..."
Luo Qifeng didn't quite catch what the person said, but the voice was very clear and bright, like a flowing spring, just listening to it made people feel a sweet feeling, not to mention that the voice also carried a hint of a faint smile.
Luo Qifeng wanted to open his eyes, but he didn't know who was speaking again, or if it was just his own auditory hallucination.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a pair of hands touching him. The hands were not big and were stroking his shoulders through his clothes, then gently touched his chest before moving to the armpits slightly towards the back.
As he stroked/petted, the laughter sounded again, saying: "It turns out that there are wings here, it's really great, I'm so envious of you...... Can I borrow them from you?"
Lu Qifeng couldn't hear what he said at all, but the voice was very clear and refreshing, as if it were flowing in his heart, seemingly a question. Lu Qifeng seemed to be enchanted, even though he hadn't heard anything, he still nodded lightly.
That voice laughed and said: "What a good-for-nothing person."
Luo Qifeng was still immersed in a semi-dazed state, and he felt that the person who spoke had actually started to take off his own clothes, but he had no strength on his body and couldn't open his eyes.
Luo Qifeng's jacket was quickly removed, and a pair of icy hands touched the back of his armpits, carefully feeling around for several times, even using their fingertips to gently rub against it, as if searching for something. This made Luo Qifeng break out in goosebumps, and being caressed like this, he suddenly started breathing heavily.
"Huh?"
Lu Qifeng, who was half unconscious, was suddenly awakened by a sharp pain in his back. He abruptly opened his eyes, and his gray-green eyes, still unaccustomed to the darkness of the tomb, couldn't see anything clearly, but he felt someone lying on top of him.
Luo Qi's eyes narrowed, his head was very heavy, he reached out to touch it without looking, the pain was excruciating, and indeed, there was bleeding, but he didn't know if his skull would be cracked.
Luo Qifeng adapted for a second or two, suddenly saw clearly that the person lying on himself was actually Ye Liuxiang, and was stunned. Then he thought to himself that he might not be sober/clear yet.
Luo Qifeng looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar tomb, without quicksand, female corpses, or fallen chariots. Everything seemed strange, and he was even shirtless, with his smooth muscles and scars exposed, his clothes thrown to the side, and Ye Liu Xiang lying in his arms.
Luo Qifeng was somewhat dazed and didn't speak for a long time before saying: "Am I dreaming?"
Ye Liu Xiang suddenly laughed and said in a thin voice, "I suppose so."
Luo Qifeng was even more surprised, staring at Ye Liuxiang for half a day, and after a long time, he repeated again, "Am I dreaming?"
Ye Liu Xiang didn't say a word, she just wrapped her arms around him, holding him from under his armpits, and kept probing the spot where he was in pain with her hands.
Luo Qifeng's breathing suddenly became heavy, a pair of gray-green eyes stared at Ye Liuxiang, and his throat emitted a "hē... hē..." panting sound, just like a wild beast.
He suddenly raised his arm, tightly embracing the person in his arms, lowering his head, biting Ye Liu's lips, and fiercely kissing him, almost tearing them apart. Ye Liu's thin lips were pitifully red and swollen from being kissed, and a pair of bright eyes were filled with mist.
Ye Liu Xiang's lips were slightly parted as he let out a faint "Ha... Ha..." breath, his hands wrapped around him, muttering: "So warm."
Lu Qifeng was provoked by Ye Liuxiang and had gone completely wild, just like a beast. The muscles on his arms were knotted up, tightly clenched, grasping Ye Liuxiang's shoulders, then kissing his lips, and then kissing his eyes. Ye Liuxiang's face was still not as big as a palm, Lu Qifeng wished he could kiss both of his eyes at once.
Luo Qifeng felt his head spinning, but he was already completely crazy, like in a dream. He was suffering terribly, with a violent breath wanting to burst out of his chest. While kissing Ye Liuxiang in his arms, he reached down with one hand.
Ye Liu Xiang was very cooperative, with both hands embracing him, constantly making panting sounds, and his lively eyes staring at him. Just when Luo Qi Feng was about to reach his limit, he suddenly froze up.
Luo Qifeng's hand moved down, his own brain was already excited and hot, but Ye Liuxiang below didn't react at all. Suddenly, Luo Qifeng's mind went "Boom!" as if he had been awakened by an explosion.
Luo Qifeng's mind was dizzy, what was he doing, forcing a young man who was almost twenty years younger than him to do such things? Even if Ye Liuxiang had not resisted, the young man had no reaction at all, would he feel very disgusted and scared?
Luo Qifeng's breathing was a bit stagnant, perhaps because of the concussion, he felt more and more dizzy, more and more drowsy. He narrowed his eyes to look at Ye Liuyan in front of him, but that figure began to spin, the sky spinning and the earth rotating.
He finally couldn't hold on any longer, his eyelids grew heavy, and slowly closed...
Wen Baiyu woke up with a start, and immediately reached into his pocket, but found nothing. He struggled to sit up at once.
Someone immediately went to help him and asked: "Are you awake? Are you hurt?"
Wen Baiyu heard it was Wan Kuangjinghou's voice and immediately said: "The egg is gone!"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "It's here, in my place."
He said, holding out his hand, and the egg baby was in the palm of Wan Qi Jing Hou's hand. The egg baby emitted a warm breath, warm and soft, and faintly glowing. Under the weak light, you could really see that there was a small crack on the surface of the egg baby.
Wen Baiyu immediately picked up Egg Baby to take a look, and the crack seemed quite large. Even with her eyes narrowed, she could see inside through the crack, but couldn't make out what was inside.
"Did it crack again?"
Wan Xi Jinghou comforted him, saying: "It shouldn't be a crack, it's probably going to break out of its shell."
"Really?! Why hasn't it hatched yet? Can I help crack it open?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou: "......"
Wan Xi Jing Hou seemed to be afraid that Wen Bai Yu would spoil the child, so he took Eggie back and put it in his own pocket, saying: "Put me here."
Wen Baiyu nodded slightly and saw that Egg Baby was fine, then looked around at her surroundings.
The surroundings were quite magnificent, with a scene of ruins and broken halberds everywhere, filled with quicksand, and vehicles and horses hidden in the quicksand, looking extremely desolate.
Wen Baiyu looked around nervously and found Tangzi, Yu Wei Yang lying beside him, as well as Luo Qifeng, and then there were Er Shan and Baozi.
Only these people were left, and they all seemed to be injured. Wan Gui Jing Hou should have been the first to wake up.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "I have found all those I can find, others are still missing."
Wen Baiyu quickly got up, first looked at Tangzi and Yu Wei Yang's injuries, both of them had their wounds treated, obviously thanks to Wan Kuang Jing Hou's efforts, the bleeding had stopped.
As soon as Wen Baiyu moved, Tang Zi immediately woke up with a sense of vigilance, and anxiously looked for Yu Wangyang. Seeing that Yu Wangyang was fine, he finally let out a sigh of relief, hugged Yu Wangyang in his arms, and kissed his forehead.
Yu Wei's body is relatively weak and has not woken up yet.
After waiting for a while, the others woke up. Ershan and Baozi were in extreme pain, crying and tears streaming down their faces. If it weren't for Wan Jinhoulao digging them out, they would probably have been beyond saving.
Luo Qi's eyes flickered, and he looked around, only to find himself in that living tomb. His mind was still stuck on the dream from just now, and he couldn't react quickly enough. In that terrifying dream, Ye Liu could speak, with a voice that sounded incredibly good, while he himself was like a beast...
Lu Qi Feng let out a sigh of relief, it was just a weird dream after all. Lu Qi Feng thought that maybe his own thoughts were too dirty, which is why he had this kind of dream.
Lu Qifeng struggled to sit up from the ground, letting out a hiss as his head throbbed with pain. It seemed he had been hit by something. He reached up to touch it and found that a simple bandage had already been applied. Thinking it was done by Wan Kuangjinghou, he turned his head and said, "Thanks."
Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and didn't say anything.
Luo Qifeng sat up, feeling a dull ache in his back, and he didn't know if it was also injured. His clothes had rubbed against his back, making it feel especially painful, as if there was an open wound there.
Er Shan and Baozi woke up and started digging beside them to see if there were any survivors. Wen Baiyu sat for a while, he had just woken up and was still feeling dizzy, his stomach felt nauseous and wasn't very comfortable.
Watching Wan Kuang Jing Hou bandage everyone else, but not himself, Wen Bai Yu beckoned him over and took out gauze from her backpack to bandage his arm.
When they finished packing, Yu Rongyang woke up. He was obviously still in a daze from the fall, looking at the endless sand and then at the depth of the ravine, saying weakly: "How are we going to get out of here?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked around and said, "This pit has no polish on the surrounding area, and the excavation is also very rough. We can climb up along it. Let's take a rest for now, and when we have more energy, we'll go up."
Wen Baiyu looked around at the surrounding rock walls, although they were not too high, but still had a certain height, and rough, not stairs, definitely need to climb up with hands and feet.
Wen Baiyu is now completely out of energy, just like before, as soon as she gets a little tense, her stomach starts to hurt, let alone use spiritual power. When Wen Baiyu went down the well, she saw Egg Baby rolling down the slope, and in a moment of urgency, she used spiritual power, but she still hasn't recovered from it, that feeling is like being drained dry, and no matter how much she replenishes, she can't fill up again.
Wan Xi Jing Hou knew what he was worried about and said: "Don't worry, I can carry you up."
Everyone sat down to rest, and Tang Zi took out the food to share. Er Shan and Bao Zi searched around and found several corpses. This operation was indeed tragic, and apart from them, there were no more survivors.
Everyone sat down to eat, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Er Shan said: "If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have been so greedy for that money."
Wen Baiyu said: "The jade cicada is what you sold, and you don't even know if there's a map on it? And you were still deceived by Old Man Tang."
"Hey, I'm not going to lie to you, Wen Xiao, but wasn't I being too greedy? At first, Old Tang said so, and I didn't believe him. After all, this is an antique that I dug up myself, and I've examined it multiple times - how could there possibly be a map carved on it that I wouldn't know about? But Old Tang was so confident, saying it was the real deal, so I believed him..."
Everyone ate something and looked at the height of the pit, preparing to rest for a while. Otherwise, they would be exhausted halfway up and fall down directly.
Luo Qifeng sat there, having only eaten a couple of mouthfuls, and yet he couldn't shake off the feeling that his back was aching. He wasn't someone who couldn't tolerate pain, but this kind of ache was particularly wearing, constantly gnawing away at his willpower.
Luo Qifeng took off his own coat, revealing the clothes inside.
Wen Baiyu immediately smelled a bloody smell, turned his head to look, and was stunned for a moment. "You have a wound on your back? Your clothes are all stained with blood, take off your clothes quickly and stop the bleeding first."
Lu Qifeng couldn't see if there were any wounds on his back, so he took off the clothes inside as well. Lu Qifeng was a lazy person and all his clothes were pullovers, when they came off, everyone gasped "Ah---" in unison.
"Hey, Lu Ge, what's going on? Your outer clothes aren't even torn, but you've got a huge gash on your body. Didn't you get cut by the sharp rocks in the quicksand when you fell? Hurry up and stop the bleeding!"
Others also saw that on the back of Luo Qifeng, there were two very long scars, the scars were new, extremely deep, and surprisingly symmetrical.
He said, however, he was so clever and naturally felt strange. The clothes were not scratched, intact and very complete. Even if the skin was broken, it would not be a wound like this sharp instrument. There might be bleeding or bruising, but it wouldn't be like this now.
And people with eyes can see that the two wounds are symmetrical, one on the left and one on the right, just like they were measured.
Everyone didn't say much, this wound was very fresh, because it was deep, so it was still bleeding. Everyone first helped Luo Qifeng stop the bleeding, just about to bandage with gauze, when Wan Jinhou raised his hand to stop them.
Everyone saw Wan Gui Jing Hou's thoughtful expression and didn't make a sound.
Wan Xi Jing Hou walked over, squatted down to take a look at the wound, Lou Qi Feng couldn't see his back, and could only ask out loud: "Younger brother Wan Xi?"
Wan Kuang didn't answer him, but suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed down on his wound, which hadn't been bandaged yet. The wound was exposed to the outside, and with one press, Luo Qifeng wasn't prepared at all. He felt a sharp pain, let out a hiss, and shivered twice.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou withdrew his hand and said: "Alright, bandage it up."
Wen Baiyu saw Wan Kuang Jinghou's strange behavior and couldn't help but lean in close, whispering: "What did you find?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou pointed at Luo Qi Feng and then pointed at his own eyes, saying: "Luo Qi Feng's eyes are gray-green in color."
Wen Baiyu said: "I can see that..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "At first I thought it was because of mixed blood, but now it seems that's not the case."
"What's the reason if it's not because of mixed blood?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Perhaps Kou Qi Feng is indeed a hybrid, so the aura on his body is relatively weak, I didn't notice it at first."
Wen Baiyu listened more and felt stranger, Wan Kuang Jinghou said vaguely, his heart itched badly, he quickly said: "Don't be mysterious anymore."
Wan Xi Jing Hou then smiled and softly said: "Then kiss me."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu's heart itched unbearably when he was spoken to, but Wang Jixing's attitude was neither urgent nor slow. Wen Baiyu's face turned black, as dark as the bottom of a pot, and could only lean in and nibble on Wang Jixing's lips.
But unexpectedly, Wan Jie Jing Hou was well-prepared and pressed down on his neck. The two people's lips were tightly stuck together, Wen Bai Yu's heavy breathing made a "hmm" sound twice, but fearing that someone would look over from the other side, he could only let Wan Jie Jing Hou have his fill of kissing.
After the two separated, Wan Jie Jing Hou hung a smile on his face and lightly licked his lower lip. In Wen Bai Yu's mind, a burst of fireworks exploded, and he felt that Wan Jie Jing Hou's action was extremely flirtatious and lewd...
Wan Xi Jing Hou said slowly, "Luo Qi Feng is not an ordinary person. In ancient times, there were four kinds of ferocious beasts. His ancestors should be one of them, the name is 'Tao Tie', resembling a fierce tiger, with a tail as long as 1.8 meters, green eyes, and double wings under its arms, but it can't fly."
Wen Baiyu's eyes widened in surprise and said: "Then his wound..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "It should be someone who cut off his wings, but it's very obvious that Luo Qi Feng himself doesn't even know."
This person cut off Ruo Qifeng's dual wings, not only did Ruo Qifeng himself not know, but also Wan Xi Jinghou didn't notice, and it was quietly cut off without a sound.
Wen Baiyu was somewhat surprised that Luo Qifeng was actually a Taotie, but it seemed that Luo Qifeng himself didn't know either.
Luo Qifeng's wound had been bandaged, and he was putting on his clothes. This action was somewhat difficult for him, and as he moved his arms, the wound on his back tore open, causing cold sweat to flow from the pain.
No wonder it hurts so much, it's not just a small cut, but something was cut off, of course it would hurt.
Luo Qifeng put on his clothes, stood up and moved his arms around, he didn't know if the pain had already become numb, but he felt that the wound on his back was a bit better.
Everyone rested well and prepared to climb up. Tangzi was a tomb, and he could transform into his original form to take them up, but now there were still Ershan, Baozi, and Lüo Qifeng on the scene. These few people were all unaware of the situation, so the remaining ones had to rely on themselves to climb up.
Wan Qi Jing Hou looked around and then flipped through his backpack, inside which was a rope. After he climbed up, he could throw the rope down to pull others up.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou asked Tang Zi to help watch Wen Bai Yu, then quickly put on his backpack and sprinted forward a few steps before jumping up and vaulting onto the wall. His hands grasped accurately at the protruding rocks on the cliff face.
Leopard is a good fighter, his movements are naturally flawless. Looking at Wan Kuang Jing Hou, he jumped up so high and grabbed the rock with precision, then without any pause, he climbed up quickly, leaving everyone stunned and in awe of Wan Kuang Jing Hou.
The rock wall was not too high, and Wan Zijun quickly climbed up. The entire carriage house collapsed, but the outer tomb passage was intact. After climbing up, Wan Zijun suddenly rushed into the tomb passage and threw down the rope immediately.
The two Yamamotos themselves wanted to be the first to grab the rope, but after Wang Qi Jinghou threw down the rope and shouted: "White Feather."
It's clear that the two young masters of the Ye and Wen families have a deep relationship, and the two gentlemen of the Wen family are not easy to deal with. There is no need for any past grievances, let Wen Baiyu take control first.
Wen Baiyu grabbed the rope and tied the buckle to his waist. Wan Kuang Jinghou quickly pulled him up, as if Wen Baiyu was as light as a piece of paper.
Right behind, Tang Zi and Yu Wei Yang were pulled up, leaving only three people below. Er Shan and Bao Zi rushed to be the first, while Luo Qi Feng was left as the last one.
Luo Qifeng looked up at the crowd pulling the leopard away, suddenly feeling that something was watching him from behind. He quickly turned his head around, but saw nothing.
Luo Qifeng looked back suspiciously, the deep ditch was just this big distance, and he could see the end with one glance. However, there were quicksand everywhere, and many chariots and horses were buried in it. Underneath the quicksand lay those bald female corpses.
Luo Qifeng swept his gaze around in a circle, and had the feeling that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind. He thought it might be those zongzi that had fallen down.
"What's wrong?"
After shouting several times, Ruo Qifeng finally woke up from his dream and quickly grabbed the rope tied around his waist, then let everyone pull him up.
Luo Qifeng was dragged up, arrived at the tomb path side, everyone pulled him into the tomb path, slightly exerted some strength, and the wound on his back split open again, feeling really not ordinary pain.
Everyone finally climbed up, and they all had a feeling of escaping from death. Luo Qifeng wanted to continue walking in, but Er Shan immediately said: "Luo Ge, we can't go any further! This tomb is too eerie!"
Luo Qifeng said: "You don't want to go in, then you can leave by yourself, I'm not stopping you."
Ershan thought it was too dangerous to go on alone, so he continued to persuade Luo Qifeng, saying: "Luo brother, listen to me, we've just arrived here and there are already so many dangers, who knows what will happen later? This tomb is too ominous, and Boss Tang has died, no one understands this burial. Moreover, that guy named Ye Liuxiang is strange and unpredictable, who knows if he's a good person or not?"
He said that, and then saw Luo Qifeng's gaze sweep over, his gray-green eyes carrying a fierce intent, and Er Shan immediately fell silent.
The leopard also wanted to go back, and those two people simultaneously looked towards Wan Qi Jing Hou.
Wan Xi Jing Hou simply pulled the rope back into his backpack, then zipped it up and reached into his pocket to confirm that the Candle Dragon egg was unharmed.
Then he pulled up the warm white feather on the ground and said, "Can you still walk?"
Wen Baiyu nodded, and Wan Kuang Jing Hou said: "Then let's go."
Tang Zihao and Yu Wei followed them naturally, they all knew that they came to this tomb to find something related to the cicada, so it was impossible for them to give up halfway.
Er Shan and Baozi were a bit stunned, they didn't expect to continue walking, Er Shan had no choice but to say: "Then we can only part ways here."
He finished speaking, but no one paid attention to him. Wan Qi Jing Hou had already helped Wen Bai Yu walk far away, and Er Shan let out a regretful sigh.
Wen Baihe and they walked towards the depths of the tomb passage, Ershan and Baozi turned back and walked in the direction they came from. Soon, the two groups could no longer see each other.
The crowd continued to move forward, the tomb was built through the mountain, and the terrain was not small. They couldn't reach the end for a while, it seemed that they were still far from the main burial chamber.
After passing through the chariot and horse room, there is also a weapon room. Inside are all weapons from the Western Han Dynasty, most of which have rusted away and some have been corroded to rot.
The armory is also very large, it can be seen that the owner of this tomb, in addition to being extravagant, is also very militaristic.
The crowd walked through one chamber after another, and soon they came to the front of a huge chamber. Inside this chamber were three bronze tripods placed horizontally in a row, with many people holding golden plates standing beside them.
On the golden plate were green and colorful pills, I don't know what they are, but during the Western Han Dynasty, officials and nobles were all pursuing immortality, this kind of green and colorful thing, at first glance it's over the toxic limit, most likely some kind of elixir.
Many people who had experienced this place before did not dare to move these coffins, in case another female corpse with a shaved head appeared.
Everyone turned around at the entrance of the tomb and found no Ye Liu Xiang, nor was it a main tomb chamber, so they didn't plan to go in.
But just at this moment, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly said: "Wait a minute, there's a breathing sound."
He said that, and everyone thought of Old Zhang, but there was no coffin in this tomb, so it was impossible to hold a living person who could breathe.
So everyone's eyes fell on those three large tripods.
Such a large cauldron, if it were to hide a living person, shouldn't be a problem either...
Everyone listened to the sound and slowly walked in, their eyes fixed on the three large cauldrons. As soon as they entered, Wen Baiyu immediately furrowed his brow, he smelled a bloody smell, coupled with the breathing sound just now, was it another half-dead person like Old Zhang?
They walked in and approached three large cauldrons. Soon, they heard a faint breathing sound coming from the middle one.
Because the big tripod was too high, with his head thrown back he couldn't see anything inside. General Wan Zanghou made a hand gesture to wait, then quickly jumped up and grabbed the edge of the big tripod, using the momentum to push himself upwards.
Everyone saw Wan Gui Jing Hou's eyes narrow slightly, and there must be something in the cauldron.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou grasped the edge of the large tripod with one hand, and incredibly, his other hand reached inside as if to grab something. He grabbed once, and amazingly, he pulled out a person!
Everyone was "ah" in one voice, and that person was clearly Ye Liu Xiang!
Everyone did not think that Ye Liu Xiang was actually inside a large cauldron.
Wan Xi Jing Hou grabbed Ye Liu Xiang's collar, lifted him up with one hand, and quickly jumped down, bringing Ye Liu Xiang along. He then laid the person flat on the ground.
Luo Qifeng rushed over first, and unexpectedly found that Xiao Ye was in this place. He had apparently lost consciousness, his cheeks were flushed, his breathing was a bit urgent, and he was lying on the ground, trembling all over.
Luo Qifeng lifted his head, reached out to touch Ye Liuxiang's forehead, and found that his hand was covered in sweat, which wasn't cold sweat. Ye Liuxiang's body was emitting heat, and just touching him made Luo Qifeng feel scorching hot.
Wen Baiyu said: "Xiaoye is injured? Such a big blood stain?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "The bloody smell is because there's still something in the tripod."
He said, and suddenly kicked the big tripod, the big tripod "humm" a loud noise fell to the ground, followed by a "thud" sound, and rolled on the ground for two more times.
Everything inside fell out, and when everyone saw it, they were stunned. It turned out to be a Fangding tripod.
During the Han Dynasty, ding gradually became less used as a ritual vessel and more as a food vessel. A divided ding is a type of food vessel that can hold different foods together without mixing flavors.
As the partition crashed down, everything inside fell out, and a pool of fresh blood flowed out.
Those things, clearly chopped up human bodies, were probably neatly arranged before, but after being kicked by Wan Qi Jing Hou, they are now in a mess.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said that just now, Ye Liu Xiang was lying in the middle grid of the partitioned Ding, with all the surrounding corpses looking extremely disgusting.
Wen Baiyu covered her mouth and nose, almost fainting. Among the messy pile of things, there was also a head, Wen Baiyu could barely make out that these people were with them when they fell into the deep pit before.
At that time, Wan Qi Jing Hou said that all the ones they could find had been found. Later, Er Shan and Bao Zi found a few more bodies. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the people who hadn't been found weren't because they were buried too deep in the quicksand, but because their bodies were actually here!
His eyes were wide open as if he had seen something incredible, clearly not killed by being buried alive in the quicksand.
Wen Baiyu suddenly thought that at the moment when they were buried in the quicksand, someone took advantage of the chaos to sneak up beside them and then grabbed these few people.
These people were also playing with Yelü Rong before...
Wen Baiyu smelled this bloody smell, really felt dizzy and nauseous, her stomach was a bit chilly, her throat was spasmodic, wanting to vomit.
Wen Bai's legs went soft, and Hong Qigong was holding Ye Liu Xiang in his arms. Ye Liu Xiang's breathing sounded very loud, obviously running a high fever, but there were no wounds on his body.
Luo Qifeng touched him and found it so hot, Ye Liuxiang had worn too many clothes, and covering up was even hotter. He took off all his outerwear, just about to reach out and pull off Ye Liuxiang's gloves.
Ye Liu Xiang's hand moved at this time and suddenly grabbed onto Rong Qifeng's arm, then opened his eyes.
Luo Qifeng was overjoyed and said: "Xiaoye woke up!"
Everyone gave up on those corpses and gathered around, Ye Liu Xiang had indeed woken up. His eyes were bright red from the high temperature, with bloodshot eyes that looked a bit frightening. Whether it was the hot air in his mouth or the breath coming out of his nose, they were all scorching hot, as if he was about to burn up entirely.
Ye Liu's hand grasped Lu Qi's arm, but his eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he couldn't see anything.
Luo Qifeng gently wiped the sweat that had appeared on his forehead, knowing that Xiao Ye couldn't hear him, he reached out to shake him, but Ye Liu still didn't respond, just staring with his eyes open, his lips slightly parted, letting out heavy breathing sounds of "Ha... Ha..."
Luo Qifeng didn't know what was wrong with Ye Liuxiang, he just thought he had a fever, but the fever wasn't that severe, Ye Liuxiang seemed to be in agony.
Wen Baiyu said: "Xiaoye, what's wrong with you?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, walked over and squatted down, suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched, just pinching Ye Liu Xiang's cheeks. His strength seemed to be great, with one pinch, Ye Liu Xiang obediently opened his mouth.
Wan Xi Jing Hou glanced inside, then quickly stood up and walked to the side of the person, pinched a green pill from the golden plate, and smelled it in front of his nose.
Luo Qifeng immediately understood what Wan Kuang Jinghou meant and asked: "What did Xiaoye eat?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The flavor is very strong, it's Wu Shi San."
Yu Wei Yang said in surprise: "Wu Shi San?"
Yu Wei Yang had never seen such a thing, but he had read about it in books. Wu Shi San was very popular during the Wei and Jin dynasties, and was a kind of elixir for longevity among the aristocracy and the wealthy. In fact, Wu Shi San is a medicine that can be effective in small doses, but eating too much of it will result in poisoning symptoms.
The formula of Wushi Powder has many versions, but no matter which version, Wushi Powder is a very strong and potent medicine, extremely dry and hot, and also has the effect of tonifying Yang.
Ye Liu Xiang's body was obviously very weak, and it seemed that he had eaten a lot. He already showed signs of poisoning, his whole body was hot and sweaty, and he was suffocating with a bright red face.
Obviously everyone has heard of Wushi San, Luo Qifeng said: "What can be done about this?"
The Wujishan that was popular during the Wei and Jin dynasties actually existed as early as the Han dynasty, but in the Han dynasty, Wujishan was used as a stone medicine and did not have the effect of longevity.
However, Wushi powder has the effect of dispelling fantasy and inducing passion. It is estimated that the owner of the tomb used this thing as a stimulant. Wushi powder is also called Hanshi powder, after eating this thing you must eat cold food, drink cold water, and it's best to drink wine too, through these channels to let out the excessive dry heat.
Of course, there are other ways of release, that is, through emotional expression...
Everyone's hands were empty of wine, this thing was definitely useless. Ye Liu Xiang didn't know how much he had eaten, but he felt extremely uncomfortable and his eyes were lifeless.
Luo Qifeng had no choice but to take off all his clothes, and the big and small holes on Ye Liuxiang's body were immediately exposed. The redness had already started to fade due to the passage of time, some of the holes had become small blood spots, while others, seemingly made by a thick needle, had left behind scars.
Luo Qifeng was stunned, and he really didn't know how much suffering Ye Liuxiang had endured.
What's even more frightening is that on Ye Liu Xiang's back, on the butterfly bone, there were two long scars, also symmetrical, but much more sinister than those on Luo Qi Feng's body.
Wen Baiyu and Luo Qifeng were both taken aback, unable to see the scars on each other's backs. But they could all see that both of them had scars on their backs. However, Ye Liuxiang's scar was particularly hideous, winding its way across the youth's pale and slender back, looking incredibly frightening.
Luo Qi's fingers gently stroked Ye Liu Xiang's hair, as if comforting him. Just as he was about to remove Ye Liu Xiang's gloves, Ye Liu Xiang let out a low "gululu" sound in his throat, seemingly excited, and shook his head vigorously with wide eyes.
Everyone was stunned by Ye Liu's terrifying gaze and didn't dare take off his gloves for a while.
Ye Liu's clothes were all stripped off, still hot and sweating, her skin was burning to the touch everywhere, her eyes were bloodshot, and her thin chest heaved up and down.
"Is there another way?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at Kou Qi Feng and said: "Help him vent a bit."
They now have no wine, nor cold water, can't drink, can't take a cold shower, it seems that's all they can do, otherwise with such high temperatures, Ye Liu's brain would be scorched.
Luó Kuī Fēng felt a bit embarrassed, he suddenly remembered the dream he had in the deep pit, but now it was about saving people, Luó Kuī Fēng immediately nodded.
Ye Liu Xiang was dazed and staring blankly at Luo Qi Feng, seemingly unaware of what he was going to do.
Everyone was a bit embarrassed and quickly turned around, Ye Liuxiang lay in Luo Qifeng's arms, Luo Qifeng first reached out to touch the scars on Ye Liuxiang's back, his rough fingers tracing down the scars.
Ye Liu's shoulders shrank and his lips opened, but he couldn't say a word, and could only stare at Luo Qifeng with his eyes.
Luo Qifeng let Ye Liuxiang lean into his arms, one hand embracing him and gently stroking Ye Liuxiang's hair to comfort him, while the other hand went down.
Ye Liu Xiang hid in his arms, trembling non-stop, her eyes blinking rapidly, her whole body shaking. Ruo Xi Feng was also under a lot of pressure, ever since he had that dream, he felt like something was off about himself. At first, he was only concerned about this young man, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this.
Lu Qifeng was comforting himself that he was just helping Xiao Ye relieve her stress, but on the other hand, his mouth was dry and his tongue was tied, feeling like a beast.
Ye Liu's body shrunk into Ruo Qi Feng's arms, her eyes wide open as she looked at him. She didn't flinch when Ruo Qi Feng touched her lower body, seemingly completely unaware of it. Her eyes blinked rapidly, making Ruo Qi Feng's heart tremble with fear.
Luo Qifeng gritted his teeth and tried hard for a while, but found that Ye Liuxiang had no reaction from start to finish. Looking at his two big eyes slowly filling with tears, he seemed to be somewhat wronged, and there was also some humiliation in them.
Luo Qifeng panicked and immediately let go of his hand, hugging Ye Liuxiang and saying: "Sorry, sorry..."
Ye Liu Xiang's voice was inaudible, and the tears that flowed out were scalding hot. The scorching heat made his heart panic. Could it be that Ye Liu Xiang was disgusted by his own touch? Thinking about it, Ye Liu Xiang may be slender and weak, but he was still a young man, not some little girl, and he himself was also a man, and an unkempt old uncle at that.
The heat is unbearable and can't be released, I don't know how much Wu Shi San I've taken, but my body feels like it's on fire.
Wan Xi Jing Hou had no choice but to say: "Carry him on our backs, let's quickly find a way out."
Luo Qifeng nodded, took out a shirt from his backpack and handed it to Ye Liuxiang. The shirt was very loose and covered Ye Liuxiang completely. Luo Qifeng then hoisted Ye Liuxiang onto his back and said, "Let's go."
The crowd came out of the tomb, intending to go back, but at this moment, a loud shout was heard from the grave path, and Ershan and Baozi were running and shouting.
Those two people saw the crowd and immediately waved their hands, as if they had seen a relative, shouting: "Master Jing! Master Jing! Help! Ahhh!! The zongzi has arrived!!"
They ran forward quickly, with two dumplings closely pursuing behind them, also running wildly. Ershan and the leopard had blood all over their faces, apparently having gone through a fierce battle. They both had guns on their bodies, but now they were holding military knives in their hands, apparently having run out of bullets.
Luo Qifeng was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he quickly loaded the bullets and aimed at the zongzi behind him. "Bang bang" He fired two shots in quick succession, and the bullets hit the heads of two zongzi.
Two dumplings fell to the ground, and suddenly blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Er Shan and Bao Zi were both stunned by the bullets, they were so close to Zong Zi that Luo Qi Feng dared to fire a shot, if he missed, their heads would be blown off.
Two mountains and leopard cub ran over, behind still chased a lot of zongzi, shouting: "Run quickly! The hornet's nest was poked, there are more behind!"
The leopard shouted: "Those zongzi are all guarding at the wellhead. We just passed by and almost died there!"
The zongzi kept coming out one after another, just like a tide, and it was really unknown how many of these bald zongzi the tomb owner had prepared.
The bald female corpse they saw in the woods earlier was probably the one that crawled out of the tomb's well.
Luo Qifeng ran while turning back and firing several shots. The bullets were quickly used up, but to his surprise, there were still many zongzi left.
The crowd ran forward and soon saw a huge stone gate with a giant cicada carved on it, typical of the Western Han carving method, simple and majestic, with a strong rough feeling.
Er Shan saw the thousand-pound gate and suddenly felt dizzy, saying: "It's over! How can we open the door? The thousand-pound gate falls down, no one can open it!"
Everyone ran to the front of the thousand-jin gate, the gate was extremely large, a huge stone, it looked like a complete stone, without even a gap, sealed tightly. This must be the main tomb chamber behind, but no one could open this door.
As they watched, the bald female corpse behind them was about to catch up, and this had simply become a case of catching turtles in a jar - they had no way out.
Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand to touch the thousand-jin gate, and suddenly discovered that in the middle of the gate there was a very small protrusion. Because the gate was too big, that small protrusion looked extremely insignificant, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see this thing at all, thinking it was just a large stone that hadn't been ground flat during construction.
Wen Baiyu's mind flashed and he immediately rushed towards Wan Jijinghou saying: "Yu Chan! Yu Chan!"
Wan Xi Jinghou understood at once and took out the jade cicada from his pocket, which was found on Boss Tang's body back then, the same one that Er Shan had sold.
Wan Xi Jing Hou pinched the jade cicada and immediately stuck it onto the protruding part of the thousand-pound press. Suddenly, a "click" sound was heard, and the jade cicada fit perfectly with the thousand-pound press without any discrepancy.
Wan Xi Jing Hou Li pressed down on the jade cicada, then turned it around, and suddenly heard "Ka La... Ka La... Ka La La..." sounds, as if gears were turning.
The thousand-jin dam made a "creaking" sound and quickly rose from the ground.
The gate opened with a creak, and the crowd rushed in immediately. The bald-headed female corpse behind them suddenly stopped in front of the gate, letting out a loud "ga ga" cry, but did not dare to cross the thousand-pound gate.
The zongzi seemed to be extremely afraid of the tomb, constantly moving outside and roaring wildly, but they didn't dare take a step forward.
Er Shan and Baozi seemed to have been reborn, suddenly collapsing to the ground with a "huff" as they let out a mouthful of air. Baozi said: "My god, I almost got scared to death, this is so unlucky."
"Is this the main tomb chamber? There are too many burial objects!"
Ensuring those bald female corpses wouldn't suddenly barge in, Wen Baiyu then had the mood to look around.
This is a very magnificent tomb, with golden and jade decorations between the tombs, and vivid murals carved on all sides. In the center lies a coffin, which looks absolutely extraordinary.
On the coffin, there was an inscription. Er Shan rushed over to take a look and immediately his face was filled with shock. "Heavens! This is the tomb of Liu Jian, King of Jiangdu. But Liu Jian actually referred to himself as 'I, the Emperor'. Wasn't Liu Jian the one who rebelled against and killed his own lord? It seems that even in death, this old scoundrel didn't repent. However, the burial objects here really do seem to be at a heavenly level."
Wen Baiyu's focus was not on the coffin, but rather on how to create a tunnel to escape. The outside was guarded by bald female corpses, so they couldn't leave that way. The best solution was to dig a tunnel in the main chamber and then crawl out, taking Ye Liu with them to the hospital.
To know that a high fever can last for so long that it can make one's brain go stupid, let alone Ye Liu's current symptoms of poisoning.
However, this main tomb chamber is built through the mountain, and there must be a solid layer of rock above it. If they want to dig a tunnel out, it will probably take some time.
Wen Baiyu sniffed her nose and said, "Huh? What's this smell?"
He is extremely sensitive to this smell, a bit fragrant, very much like sandalwood, but also more subtle than the scent of sandalwood, really can't say what it is.
He took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a cool sensation rushing down his nose, followed by a severe cramp in his stomach. The pain was so intense that Wen Baiyu's legs went limp, and he couldn't stand up straight, almost falling to the ground immediately.
Wan Xi Jing Hou caught Wen Bai Yu with one hand and frowned, saying: "Don't breathe deeply, that's the fragrance of burning rhinoceros horn. Burning rhinoceros horn is a very cold thing, you can't take it now."
Yu Wei Yang also felt that fragrance, in addition to the fragrance, there was a kind of inexplicable chill that hit him in the face.
Tang Zǐ grasped Rùyǔ Yáng's hand and said: "Boss Rù, try not to breathe too deeply."
Wan Kuang Jing Hou took off his own coat and put it on Wen Bai Yu, then took out the candle dragon egg from his pocket and handed it to Wen Bai Yu, saying: "Hold onto it, it's warmer."
Wen Baiyu was suddenly at a loss for words, thinking that Wan Jingshou really treated his egg baby as a hand warmer!
However, Wen Baiyu still honestly held the candle dragon egg in his hands, a warm feeling emerged from the candle dragon egg, with a positive yang breath, as if it slowly neutralized the cold air on Wen Baiyu's body.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou saw Wen Bai Yu's breath gradually stabilize, turned his head to Luo Qi Feng and said: "There is a burning rhinoceros horn on the supply table, go get it and put the rhinoceros horn under his nose for him to smell. Rhinoceros horn is a great cold thing, can neutralize the toxicity in his body."
Luo Qifeng immediately walked over and indeed saw a small table behind the coffin, with smoke swirling above it. A small incense burner on the table emitted a wisp of white smoke.
Luo Qi hastily opened the stove, because he saw Wen Baiyu and Yu Wei Yang react strongly to this fragrance, and didn't dare to walk over. He just stood in this place, picked up the small stove, and let Ye Liu Xiang smell it.
As soon as the cauldron was opened, the fragrance became very strong. Ye Liu Xiang smelled this scent and couldn't help but take two deep breaths, slowly opening his eyes, seemingly regaining consciousness, and it was very effective. The white of Ye Liu Xiang's eyes immediately turned white, and the redness slowly receded.
The rustling sound of breathing has also stabilized a lot.
Luo Qifeng felt a wave of joy, it seemed that this flammable rhinoceros was indeed effective on Ye Liuxiang. Ye Liuxiang almost greedily sucked in the flammable rhinoceros, and his mental state also improved a lot. After a short while, the heat on Ye Liuxiang's body slowly dissipated. Luo Qifeng finally let out a sigh of relief.
Wan Xi Jing Hou saw that the rhino horn was useful, and said lightly: "This kind of rhino horn has been extinct for a long time, it's impossible to find now. Moreover, after absorbing two thousand years of yin energy in the tomb, its cold energy is even stronger, it's a good thing, take it with you."
Luo Qifeng nodded, and then found that there were two more things on the supply table, which looked like large winter bamboo shoots. The skin was black and shiny, with some brownish-yellow on top. However, these were not winter bamboo shoots, but rhino horns.
These are two rhino horns that have not been polished or processed. Rhino horns of this size can burn for a long time, and Lu Qifeng doesn't know how much Ye Liu Xiang has eaten, or how much cold air from the rhino horn is needed to neutralize it. Fortunately, all these rhino horns were packed away.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Er Shan and Baozi had already opened two layers of the coffin, leaving only the last layer of wood. Wan Kuang Jinghou raised his head to look, and immediately furrowed his brow, saying: "If you want to live, don't move."
He spoke in a loud voice, scaring both Er Shan and Baozi into complete stillness.
"What's wrong?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Nothing's wrong, you rest, I'll go take a look."
He stood up and walked to the coffin, the lid of which had a slight gap, absolutely impossible for the craftsmen not to have done well when burying, apparently it had been opened by someone.
When Er Shan and Bao Zi opened the second layer, Wan Qi Jing Hou didn't see anything unusual, but when he looked at the last layer, it was obvious that someone had opened it before.
Wan Kui Jing Hou stretched out his hand to push open the coffin lid, and saw that inside was actually a corpse wearing a dragon robe, with a Han Dynasty dragon robe on his body, and beside him was even placed an emperor's seal.
The corpses were preserved extremely well, but strangely, the well-preserved corpses were rapidly decaying at a visible rate.
Wan Xi Jing Hou took out the dragon scale dagger, combined with the scabbard pressed against the corpse's throat, and slightly used force. The rotting corpse raised its head, then opened its mouth.
Er Shan and Bao Zi couldn't help but simultaneously lean over to take a look, but what they saw was not the jade cicada that people of the Western Han Dynasty were particularly fond of. Instead, it was a wooden bead.
The pearl came out immediately, and Wang Xi Jing Hou put on gloves before reaching in to pick up the pearl.
"Bo tree beads?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "It's exactly the same as Jin Chanzi Bodhi before."
The bodhi bead on top is very clean and has no bloodstains, unlike something that was held in a dead person's mouth. Apparently someone had switched it with the original before they got there, exchanging what was in the tomb owner's mouth for this bodhi bead.
Many people dug a thief hole in the main tomb, although the tomb was very strong, but they had many people and complete tools, and finally drilled out from the thief hole. Ershan and Baozi immediately buried the thief hole, not letting those bald female corpses run out.
They have crossed a mountain and will have to cross it again on the way back, coming to the place where they first started digging down, filling in the earth, and also filling up the thieves' cave that Old Tang's ancestors had dug.
Everyone sent Ye Liu Xiang to the hospital, and since Ye Liu Xiang had smelled the burning rhinoceros horn, he was no longer in danger of losing his life. Except for critically ill patients, the hospital did not allow accompaniment, so everyone could only leave Ye Liu Xiang alone.
Luo Qifeng feared that the toxicity on Xiao Ye's body had not dissipated yet, so he also left the rhino horn with him, telling him to keep it well and repeatedly emphasizing that if he really felt unwell, he must smell it.
Rhino horn is not addictive. In the eyes of the ancients, rhino horn was a sacred and spiritual thing, and burning rhino to communicate with spirits is one such legend.
Wen Baiyu and they were tired for a day, then found a hotel next to live down, Wen Baiyu took out the egg baby, this one look suddenly shouted, Wan Kuang Jinghou was scared by him, immediately walked over to see.
Then Wen Baiyu held up Egg Baby and pointed at the gap, saying: "The crack is even bigger now."
The crack has indeed become larger, and a gap has opened up. From the opening, you can even look inside.
Wen Baiyu immediately narrowed his eyes to look inside, and the egg was still warm. From the crack, there were continuous flows of warm air coming out, steaming Wen Baiyu's face warmly.
Wen Baiyu glanced at it a few times, but what she saw was a white color, and it was also a white color similar to feathers.
Wan Xi Jing Hou saw him looking so serious, and couldn't help but take a glance inside as well. Indeed, it was white feathers, but the feathers just happened to cover up the crack, only allowing him to see the feathers, nothing else could be seen.
Wen Baiyu suddenly became excited and laughed: "Looks like it's a small Swan Goose, your Candle Dragon's genes aren't strong enough."
Wan Qi Jing Hou said lightly: "It doesn't matter, just have a few more."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu almost choked to death with Wan Kuang Jinghou's words, he didn't want to have more children at all, every time he had to suppress his spiritual power, and his stomach would hurt from time to time, and he couldn't eat meat, everything smelled terrible to him, this was really too torturous.
It seems that Wen Baiyu thinks that in this situation, there is only one advantage, which is not being tormented by Wan Kuang Jing Hou. Otherwise, Wan Kuang Jing Hou's astonishing physical strength would make him go all night, and it wouldn't be until dawn that he would finally release, it's simply beastly.
The next morning, as soon as visiting hours arrived, everyone went to the hospital to see how Ye Liu was doing.
When I arrived at the hospital, I saw Luo Qifeng sitting on a chair in the corridor, leaning back his head, with both hands in his pockets, and his chin covered with stubble, lost in thought.
The crowd walked away, and Ruo Xi Feng finally came back to his senses, his face somewhat solemn.
Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Why sit in the corridor? Don't go in? Where's Xiao Ye? The situation is bad?"
Luo Qifeng shook his head, stood up, took something out of his pocket and handed it to them.
Wen Baiyu was taken aback, it was a photo, with a picture of a jade cicada on it. It looked similar to the jade cicadas they had seen before, but obviously wasn't one. This jade cicada seemed more translucent.
Luo Qifeng hinted that he look at the back, Wen Baiyu turned over the photo, and there was a line of words on it - The thing has been taken, thank you.
Wen Baiyu was taken aback and said: "This... is this what Xiaoye left behind?"
Luo Qifeng nodded, subconsciously taking out a cigarette from his pocket, but since they were in a hospital, he could only irritably crush it and throw it into the trash can. "When I arrived, he was already gone," he said. "There's only this photo left, as well as the rhino horn that was brought out of the tomb, which is also missing."
Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow, and Luo Qi Feng continued: "Why did he do this? Was the jade cicada in the coffin swapped by him? What does he want with the jade cicada? And what about the rhino horn?"
Ye Liu Xiang took away Yu Chan, and also the rhino horn that gathered the soul of the dead. Many things related to him happened along the way, and everyone was a little silent for a while. Perhaps these things were not as simple as they imagined.
There are also two scars on Ye Liu's back and two scars on Luo Qifeng's back...
Wen Baiyu said: "Such empty thinking will definitely not work out, if you want to know, let's go to Ye Liuxiang's house and take a walk."
Luo Qifeng said: "Go to his home for a walk? Since he can slip away, he will definitely not let us find him."
Wen Baiyu shook his head and said: "He took away the rhino horn, I just want to know if Ye Liuxiang is still alive or already dead..."
