Chapter 105: The Third Trial

  A golden coffin with a gold cicada carved on its surface, almost identical to the golden cicadas found in the coffins of Kunlun Mountain.

  Everyone stared at the coffin, which had been quiet since it rose up, with no movement or sound. The golden light shone brightly under the pale flashlight of the crowd's hands.

  Wen Baiyu curiously looked at the coffin, all coffins are deeply buried underground, no matter what tomb or grave, they all emphasize Feng Shui, where "Feng" means closed air.

  How is it possible for a coffin to pop open by itself? Is it meant to be easily opened at any time?

  Everyone stared at the coffin for about two minutes before letting out a sigh of relief. Wen Baiyu said, "It seems there's no sound?"

  Zou Chengyi said: "What is this coffin material? Is it related to the wooden beam? I think it looks like the one from Kunlun Mountain, both have a golden cicada on top."

  Ye Liu shook his head, he and Zou Cheng were the same, although they had been locked in that tomb on Kunlun Mountain for a long time, but they knew nothing about the tomb.

  "Take a look and you'll know."

  He said, taking a crowbar from his backpack and weighing it in his hand, looking at Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou also nodded, took the dragon scale dagger and walked over, while others stood in their original positions, not getting any closer, always on guard, and did not know what was inside the coffin, perhaps a prepared corpse or a rice dumpling.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou used a shovel to draw a circle around the coffin, and Luo Qi Feng inserted a crowbar into it. Luo Qi Feng was also an expert in this kind of thing, his technique was very skilled. The two men lifted the coffin lid together, and suddenly there was a "click" sound.

  The lid of the coffin was slightly ajar.

  At this moment, the small feather sitting on Wen Baiyu's shoulder and eating its hand suddenly stood up, opened its mouth, and before a small flame came out, it heard a loud "whoosh" sound.

  It seemed like the wind, but this cave had only one entrance and exit, so it was impossible to have a counter-flow of air. The previous airflow was caused by a large group of giant parrots flying towards the entrance at the same time, but now there were no giant parrots, yet a gust of cold wind blew out.

  The coffin lid was extremely heavy, but it was blown away with a "whoosh" and flew out directly. The crowd heard the noise and suddenly covered their heads, and the coffin lid "thudded... thudded!" several times, bouncing off the walls of the stone cave like a ball, making a loud cracking sound as it went outside.

  Everyone thought about opening the coffin, would something strange pop out? Maybe a fierce zombie, maybe a mummy, maybe a rice ball, or maybe just a skeleton. Or perhaps nothing at all, everything had already been reduced to nothing due to the passage of time.

  But everyone didn't expect that when the coffin lid was opened, a huge gust of yin wind suddenly blew out, blowing so hard that everyone almost flew away, and they quickly knelt down on the ground.

  The little feather body was very light, and because it had just stood up for a moment, the whole person was blown backward with a "whoosh" sound.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it, but the small feathers were too light and too small, blown by the wind, spinning and running, Wen Baiyu's grab didn't catch anything.

  A small feather was blown in mid-air, suddenly flapped its wings, but it couldn't fly at all. The wings opened and closed, the wind resistance increased, and the small feather really fluttered like a feather, swaying back and forth.

  Just then, with a "whoosh", the small Blood Vine Flower suddenly rolled out its tendrils and scooped up the small feather, but it was also very small and almost got overturned. It immediately rolled out several more tendrils and wrapped them around the stone statue of the Thorn Bird.

  Wen Baiyu immediately reached out and grabbed Xiao Xuemu Hua, and Xiao Xuemu Hua slowly pulled the small feathers back.

  The strong wind blew for a long time, Zou Chengyi and Ye Liuxiang, who were physically weak, almost got blown away, and even when they lay on the ground, they still felt like they were constantly running backwards.

  As the yin wind subsided, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Wen Baiyu got up and checked on Xiao Yuema and Xiao Xuemu Hua. The two seemed to be fine.

  However, Xiao Yu's emotions were somewhat agitated, standing on Wen Baiyu's palm and jumping up and down, shaking her own wings, opening her mouth, and the small flames in her mouth "whooshing" outward.

  Wen Baiyu gently stroked the small feathers on Xiao Yu's wing, and only then did Xiao Yu slowly calm down, sitting in Wen Baiyu's palm, seemingly frightened by the gloomy wind earlier, sniffing and sobbing, looking particularly pitiful.

  A little vine wrapped around the person's wrist, pulling them close, then pecked at Xiao Yu's cheek twice, once on each side, and patted his back reassuringly.

  Wen Baiyu's temples were jumping wildly, and when he got back, he would definitely have a talk with Xuegui Guan. Their son was always being rude to his own son, how could this be tolerated!

  The result was unexpected, but Xiao Yuemao suddenly burst out laughing and touched her own cheek, this action seemed to melt the little blood lotus flower, she immediately hugged Xiao Yuemao's neck and kissed twice...

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stood up and took a look inside the coffin, saying: "It's empty."

  It is empty, but not vacant.

  It seems like something inside has run out with that gust of wind.

  Luo Qifeng also climbed up, staring at the coffin, which was empty and had no burial objects inside. However, a cool air continued to emanate from within the coffin, similar to the chill of the gust of wind earlier.

  Luo Qifeng looked at the coffin, suddenly took a deep breath, and felt that the cold air rushed into his chest with the air, and the cool feeling was indescribable.

  Luo Qifeng's mind was buzzing, a bit chaotic, a bit dizzy, and he didn't know why. Then, golden stars flashed before his eyes, alternating between black and white.

  "Uncle? Uncle?"

  Ye Liu Xiang saw Luo Qi Feng staring at the coffin, not knowing what he was thinking about. He couldn't help but call out to him twice, but Luo Qi Feng seemed to have not heard anything, his eyes fixed and piercing through the future as if nothing could be seen.

  Ye Liu Xiang's hand was a bit strange, he stretched out his hand and pulled at Ruo Qi Feng, the result was that as soon as they touched, Ruo Qi Feng suddenly tilted towards Ye Liu Xiang and fell down.

  Ye Liuxiang let out an "ah" and hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch Ruo Qifeng, but Ruo Qifeng's body was too tall and large, directly pressing Ye Liuxiang onto the ground.

  Luo Qifeng suddenly fainted, without any warning signs, and everyone was shocked. After all, Luo Qifeng's physical condition was very good. Thinking back to before entering the cave, it seemed that Luo Qifeng had been injured, but the wound didn't seem to have any poison in it.

  The crowd gathered around, Ye Liu Xiang propped up Luo Qi Feng, but that person still had no consciousness, his entire body was pressed against him, with a somewhat precarious posture.

  Yi Feng laughed and said: "This place is a bit off, I'll help Mr. Luo instead, let's hurry out."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou also nodded in agreement, and Yi Feng, although he said it was to support him, his actions were not supportive at all. He directly hoisted Luo Qi Feng onto his back and strode out with large steps.

  Yi Feng looked slender and tall, with a somewhat refined gentlemanly air, while Luo Qi's physique was robust and powerful. Unexpectedly, Yi Feng didn't expend any effort at all, and his footsteps were light and swift, moving extremely quickly.

  Everyone followed behind, outside nothing happened except for the bloody stone statue and the golden coffin, there was nothing else in this cave.

  Everyone got out of the cave, found their car, and Yi Feng threw Luo Qi onto the back seat. He started the car quickly and drove forward for some distance before returning to where they had camped previously, only stopping the car then.

  Ye Liu Xiang checked Ruo Qifeng's situation, the wound was not bandaged, but there were no signs of infection or poisoning either. Ruo Qifeng's breathing was also very stable, as if he had just fallen asleep.

  Ye Liu Xiang said: "Uncle, didn't you stay up too late last night?"

  Nobody knows what happened to Qiu Feng.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Could it be that the yin energy in the coffin just now was too strong and had an impact on Luo Qifeng?"

  Actually, the yin energy just now was really strong. Wen Baiyu is still a bit chilled to the bone, but at that time, because she had to catch the small feathers that were blown away, she didn't pay attention to it. Looking back, I don't even know what was originally in the coffin/box.

  Wen Baiyu asked Wan Qi Jinghou, at that time Wan Qi Jinghou and Luo Qifeng were standing closest to each other. If something inside ran out, they would definitely see it.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "It's not something tangible, perhaps it's a kind of spirit, only the yin energy can be felt."

  Not a tangible soul...

  Wen Baiyu didn't know what it was either, maybe she could ask Luo Qi when he woke up.

  Everyone waited for a while, but Luo Qifeng still didn't wake up. The sky had already completely brightened, but it seemed to be snowing today. After the brightness, it became gloomy again, getting darker and darker. They sat in the car, and the interior lights were about to be turned on.

  The wind is blowing all around, and even with the car windows closed, you can hear the "whooshing" sound of the wind, as if it's trying to seep in through the gaps. The sky is very gloomy, with a bit of drifting rain and snow.

  Wen Baiyu slapped his palm, and Wan Xiang Jing Hou reached out to grasp it, saying: "Cold?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "A bit of a chilly and damp feeling, post-apocalyptic rebirth in search of the Peach Garden."

  Just as he was speaking, a loud "boom" sound was heard, and then the car actually shook slightly.

  Wen Baiyu frowned and looked around, saying: "What's going on?"

  Everyone felt it, the magnitude of this shock was not big, but their cars were parked on flat ground, and they actually shook slightly, as if... something under their car was pushing up.

  It was silent for a moment, then "Boom!" again, this time the shock was even greater, and the car shook violently.

  The little blood vine flower suddenly stood up with a grin, waving its vines.

  Everyone looked around cautiously, Zou Chengyi glanced at Yi Feng and said, "Start the car."

  Yi Feng nodded, started the car, but just as he was about to step on the accelerator, a loud "bang!" was heard, as if someone had slapped their windshield with great force.

  Ye Liu Xiang suddenly let out a loud "ah", and at the same time, he heard a "thud" sound. On the car window glass in front of Ye Liu Xiang, a human face suddenly appeared. The previous "bang" was the sound of the person's face hitting the glass. No wonder Ye Liu Xiang shouted so loudly, he was completely unprepared.

  The face was covered in blood, and the flesh was blurred. The skull was gone, and the brain pulp inside was flowing down with a gurgling sound, pouring out a face full of white. The nose on the face was already gone, a large piece of the left cheek had been gnawed away, the chin had long since disappeared, there was no lower lip, only the upper lip remained, and the teeth in the mouth were also half-exposed.

  Ye Liu was startled and took a deep breath after realizing it was just a person.

  That man's face suddenly stuck to the car window glass, his two eyeballs turned white, but he stared tightly at the person inside the car window. His cheek made a "splat" sound as it slid down the glass, and at the same time, there was a "bang" sound as he started hitting their car.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Isn't this the young man who camped with us?'"

  As soon as he said that, everyone noticed because those people were particularly stylish, riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles to this place for wedding photos, it was simply a case of having too much money and nowhere to spend it, so everyone took a few more glances, leaving a deep impression.

  Those people ran away instantly when something happened, unexpectedly it still happened, this is one of the young men, only half a bloody face was left, but the clothes on his body won't be wrong.

  Ye Liu was startled, but looking at the blood on the glass, her throat rolled a little, just like someone who had been hungry for a long time, with some hunger and thirst, staring at the bloodstains smeared on the car window.

  Wen Baiyu almost spat it out and said: "Your taste is too low."

  Ye Liu Xiang pursed his lips and said, "I haven't drunk blood since I shed my cicada shell, and I'm already very weak. When you're starving to death, do you still care about the breed of pork?"

  Wen Baiyu was left speechless by his words, and just then, "Bang!" The car was pushed again with great force, and Zou Chengyi shouted: "Start the car! Start the car!"

  Yi Feng stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot out quickly. The huge thrust pushed against everyone's back, and Luo Qi Feng rolled off the chair in an instant.

  Ye Liu stretched out his hand and pulled several times before finally pulling Ruo Qi Feng up.

  In front of us was an endless expanse of sandy soil, and they didn't know how long it would take to get back on track. Fortunately, the driver was skilled, so as long as I was safe, everything was fine.

  Two minutes later, Yi Feng suddenly furrowed his brow and made a "tsk" sound with his mouth, saying: "Evil spirits linger."

  As he spoke, everyone immediately looked back and saw that young man with half a face, actually chasing after their car relentlessly!

  The car drove on the sandy ground, raising a cloud of dust. The young man's face was covered in blood, and the flying sand stuck to his face, but he didn't seem to notice at all. He just had an excited grin on his face, staring at their car, making eye contact with them through the rear window.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Is this a human? He's running as fast as a car!'"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou frowned and said: "He's not right."

  Wen Baiyu said: "I also feel that something is wrong with him, just like he was possessed by some unclean thing."

  As he said this, everyone thought of the gloomy wind in the stone cave at the same time. Wan Qi Jing Hou said it should be a kind of shapeless spirit.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened suddenly and he said: "Could it be from inside the golden coffin?"

  Just as he finished speaking, Ye Liu responded with a loud "ah" and the car suddenly shook violently. A loud "bang" was heard, and it seemed that something had fallen onto the roof of their car. Ye Liu had just pulled Rong Qifeng into the driver's seat when the car jolted again, causing Rong Qifeng to roll out once more.

  The roof made a "thud" sound, and at the same time the car suddenly shook violently. The driver grabbed the steering wheel tightly to prevent the car from skidding.

  That young man with a half-face suddenly jumped onto the top of their car and grabbed the vehicle, starting to shake it violently, as if he wanted to overturn their jeep.

  This car was chosen by Luo Qifeng, who prefers large Jeep off-road vehicles. This matches his appearance and the car is very stylish with good performance, weighing at least three tons. When a young man stood on top of the car, it shook violently.

  The roof made a "thud thud thud" sound and immediately caved in.

  "What shall we do? In our current situation, if the car breaks down, how can we get to Kongtong Mountain?"

  Zou Cheng furrowed his brow and said: "Get rid of him."

  The coachman smiled and said, "Alright young master, everyone hold on tight."

  The wind spoke, and suddenly stepped on the brakes again. A huge force rushed up, and Wen Baiyu's head spun with dizziness. The small feathers "swished" out in an instant, and the blood vine wrapped around her, pulling her into its arms. It stretched out its hands to hold her, and gave her several "mua mua" kisses. The small feathers had already gotten used to being kissed on the face from time to time.

  At first still wailed with sobs, but later didn't cry anymore.

  The driver's skills were excellent, the car was like a dragon snake array, suddenly accelerating and suddenly making sharp turns on the sandy ground, producing a "whooshing" sound of screeching tires, like a racing car, kicking up a cloud of dust.

  The car's shaking soon subsided, perhaps the young man with half a face on the bus didn't have time to crash into their car, now he could only hold on tight not to be thrown off.

  Just then, a loud "bang" was heard, and everyone thought that the young man who had been possessed would finally be thrown off. However, the front engine cover of the car suddenly made a "thud" sound, and the young man fell from the top of the car, landing on the hood with a thud. At the same time, he grabbed the windshield wipers with both hands.

  Zou Chengyi was so frightened that he started panting heavily, and just then, Yi Feng laughed and Zou Chengyi glared at him angrily.

  The young man with half a face grabbed the windshield wiper, not being thrown off, and at the same time his hands moved like geckos, crawling towards them [net king] Please pick up the ball smoothly.

  The wind suddenly slammed the car door shut, and with a "crack" sound, the windshield wiper broke off. The young man was flung upwards, but managed to grab onto the rearview mirror on the side of the car.

  This young man with a half-face is simply a piece of toffee, if this continues, their car will be dismantled into pieces.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou impatiently rolled down the car window, and a strong gust of wind mixed with heavy rain and snow suddenly poured in. At the same time, the young man seemed to have found an opening, grabbing the rearview mirror and reaching towards the open window.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou rummaged through Luo Qi Feng's backpack and immediately pulled out a gun. He leaned out of the car window, took aim, and fired three shots in quick succession: "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The young man's forehead was hit right between the eyes, and the massive impact sent him flying backward. A rearview mirror also shattered with a loud "crack." Fortunately, the young man fell to the ground because of the high speed, and everyone saw that his face was half-buried in the yellow sand, motionless.

  At this moment, the young man's body suddenly convulsed, and a burst of black smoke rose up.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou looked back and narrowed his eyes, saying: "It's really a ghost."

  Wen Baiyu said: "The soul in the golden coffin? What is he doing following us?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head, he didn't understand this either.

  The Jeep, which had been in great shape, was now battered and bruised. The roof had several dents, the hood was dented, the windshield wipers were gone, and one of the rearview mirrors had been ripped off. Fortunately, the car was still operational; otherwise, they would have had to hike to Mount Taihangshan on foot.

  It's still over ten kilometers from Pingliang to Kongtong Mountain...

  The car got on the right track and started to run smoothly, during which an adventure team passed by from the side, all of whom took a few more glances at their car, making Wen Baiyu suddenly feel a bit dizzy.

  Luó Qī Fēng slept for a whole morning, and only slowly woke up. As soon as he woke up, he felt someone licking his neck. Luó Qī Fēng was licked to the point of panting heavily, and suddenly grabbed something, without saying a word, pressed it into his arms and kissed it fiercely.

  Luo Qifeng was unconscious and looked like a ferocious tiger, Ye Liuxiang's head was spinning after being kissed, almost suffocating.

  Luo Qifeng was in a daze, when he suddenly heard "cough cough!" He stiffened all over, opened his eyes, and saw that he was lying on the car seat. He had taken up two seats by himself, with Ye Liuxiang sprawled across his lap, and he was passionately kissing her.

  Across from them sat Wen Baiyu and Wan Jinhao, Wen Baiyu's face was slightly red as he coughed loudly, while Wan Jinhao gazed calmly out the window.

  Xiao Xuemeng was intently watching Luo Qifeng and Ye Liuxiang being affectionate, with a serious expression of learning. She looked at them, then glanced at the small feathered creature eating from her hand.

  Luo Qifeng suddenly felt a headache and slowly got up from his seat, saying: "What are you doing on my body?"

  "It's because you took my seat, I have nowhere to sit."

  Lu Qi Feng sat up and was still sitting between the two car seats, he quickly moved to one side. He really had nothing to say, and Ye Liu Xiang kept licking his neck, which made Lu Qi Feng extremely annoyed. Lu Qi Feng never thought that his neck was a sensitive area, but after being licked by Ye Liu Xiang, he almost went crazy.

  Ye Liu Xiang looked at Luo Qi Feng sitting up and panting heavily, his gray-green eyes still wanting to eat people, couldn't help but smile and say: "Uncle, why did you suddenly faint?"

  Luo Qifeng rubbed his temples with his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know, I really don't know..."

  Luo Qifeng looked very tired, Ye Liuxiang said: "Then what did you see?"

  "What?" said Luo Qifeng.

  Ye Liu Xiang said: "The thing [magic flute] in the coffin material is secretly moving at midnight."

  Luo Qi Furrowed his eyebrows, thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head again. The feeling was like a hangover, thinking about anything was very tiring, and his brain was a bit dull.

  Luo Qifeng had been unconscious until just now, and when he came to, he saw that their car had turned into this, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

  After they got rid of the young man who was possessed by a ghost, everything went smoothly. The driver drove very steadily and everyone slept in the car. They had lunch in the car too. Along the way, it was extremely desolate. At first, they could still meet adventure teams, but later there was no one at all. From start to finish, only their car remained.

  It was dark when they finally arrived in Pingliang. Since it's unknown how long it would take to drive into the mountains, Yi Feng drove into Pingliang and found an inn to stay overnight. Their car needed some repairs and also needed to be refueled.

  Everyone rolled in the sand in the wilderness, and it was not easy to avoid sleeping outdoors. After entering the hotel, they all planned to take a bath first, and then find a place to eat.

  Wen Baiyu took a small basin, filled it with hot water, and after removing the down from Xiao Yu's feathers, she put Xiao Yu in. Xiao Yu seemed to be afraid of the water, just like Wen Baiyu, but Wen Baiyu was not afraid of bathwater.

  Little feather sat in the basin, its wings on its back flapping constantly, splashing the hot water in the basin all over the sky. A bit panicked, it used its hands to pat the water, making Xiaoxue laugh haha.

  The little blood marrow flower likes to join in the fun, and immediately strips itself bare with a few quick movements, then jumps into the basin as well. With both hands splashing water, it makes a "patter-patter" sound, and its small feathers are all fluffed up, especially since it can't see anything, so it starts crying with its mouth closed, making "wu wu" sounds.

  Xiao Yuema cried, and Xiao Xuemu was particularly happy, even using his own vines to splash water together, splashing Wen Baiyu's feathers all wet.

  The little feather cried so pitifully, the little blood marrow flower was delighted and transformed into a flower bone to tease the little feather. The little feather still had tears on its face, but was teased by the little blood marrow flower until it burst out laughing.

  Wen Baiyu had just finished taking care of the two little ancestors, wiping them clean and dressing them in their clothes, and putting them to bed. Just then, Wan Qi Jinghou had finished his bath and it was Wen Baiyu's turn to take a bath.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou started serving the two little ancestors/descendants dinner again, Xiao Yu Mao was still too small and could only drink milk, while Xiao Xue Hua ate everything, but he didn't like drinking milk. However, as soon as Xiao Yu Mao drank milk, Xiao Xue Hua would rush over to snatch it away, and wouldn't stop until Xiao Yu Mao cried.

  When the warm white feathers came out, the two little ancestors had eaten and drunk enough, the small feathers cried enough, laughed enough, and fell asleep in Xiaoxue's arms.

  Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou were about to go out for dinner after tidying up, but they were a bit worried about Xiao Yuema, so they decided it was safer to bring her along.

  But the little feather was already asleep, afraid that he would be woken up by a slight movement. The little blood marrow flower was holding the little feather and waved at them to reassure the two people.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou took Wen Bai Yu out for a meal and would be back soon.

  They lived in a humble place, with several small stalls outside where they could eat. When they came down, they saw Ye Liu Xiang already there, squatting at the entrance, hands propping up his cheeks, intently watching the vendor killing chickens at the stall outside, chicken blood splattered all over the ground, yet Ye Liu Xiang was watching with great relish, like a little cat.

  Wen Baiyu didn't know what was attractive about drinking blood, and patted Ye Liuxiang's shoulder, saying: "Let's go, let's eat."

  Ye Liu Xiang finally stood up, gazing longingly at the chicken that was still bleeding...

  The rest of the people came down soon, they just ate something outside and came back quickly. Coincidentally, when they came back, Ye Liu Xiang saw someone killing chickens again, staring at the chicken blood on the ground with hopeful eyes.

  Wen Baiyu really didn't know what to say, but Ye Liuxiang didn't actually want a drink, he just took a glance and left.

  Ye Liuxiang and Luo Qifeng lived in single rooms. Just as Ye Liuxiang was about to close the door and enter his room, he felt that the door was being held by someone. He turned around to see that it was actually Luo Qifeng.

  Luo Qifeng reached out to support the door, looked down at him and said: "I remember you said before that your lifespan is nine days, and you need to drink blood to sustain it?"

  Ye Liu nodded in response.

  Luo Qifeng thought for a moment and seemed to be choosing his words carefully, saying: "What if we don't drink blood?"

  Ye Liu Xiang laughed and said: "Uncle, rest assured, I won't casually kill people. Anyway, I can always molt, and if I don't drink blood, my lifespan will be shortened a bit. It's just right that I molt quickly, and I can also cure the illness of Wen Bai Yu's son."

  Ye Liuxiang spoke lightly, but Luo Qifeng's expression was not as relaxed as his. He didn't know what he felt in his heart. Earlier, when he saw Ye Liuxiang kill someone, Luo Qifeng must have been unhappy, shocked and a little disbelieving. After all, Ye Liuxiang had always been a very clean and pure child in his mind. This sudden change overturned Luo Qifeng's view, making him a bit unacceptable.

  But every time Ye Liu Xiang saw blood, she would reveal a hopeful and hidden gaze. Lu Qi Feng didn't want to admit it, but he felt a little heartache for her.

  Ye Liu Xiang saw him not leaving for half a day, always looking up at him, afraid that Luo Qi Feng would speak but she couldn't hear it, however Luo Qi Feng didn't say anything either.

  Ye Liu smiled and said: "Uncle, aren't you leaving? You're standing there like that, I thought you wanted to come in and sit down."

  Luo Qifeng thought for a moment and said, "Can't we go in and sit down?"

  Ye Liu looked at him with a surprised expression and said: "Aren't we all single rooms? Are single rooms still different?"

  Luo Qifeng felt a bit stifled, really wanting to pry open Ye Liuxiang's skull to take a look, but he didn't say anything, roughly pushing Ye Liuxiang aside and striding into his room.

  The rustling of leaves was a bit inexplicable, so I turned around and closed the door.

  The hotel was a bit simple, with only one chair and one bed. The chair was a bit thin, and Ruo Qi Feng felt a bit unstable sitting on it, so he simply sat directly on the bed instead.

  Ye Liu Xiang walked in, Luo Qi Feng patted the spot next to him and Ye Liu Xiang sat down beside him. Luo Qi Feng turned his head, pointed to his neck and said: "If you really want to drink blood, you can drink mine, but leave me some breath, don't bite me to death."

  Ye Liu's eyes blinked, looking at him with some surprise, and didn't move for a long time. Ruo Xi Feng's face slowly darkened, stood up and said: "Forget it, I'll just go back."

  But just as he said that, Ye Liu suddenly jumped up and pounced on him, pinning Ruo Qi Feng to the bed with his legs wrapped around his waist, his hands grasping Ruo Qi Feng's neck, and his head buried in the crook of Ruo Qi Feng's neck. He took two deep breaths before extending his tongue to lick Ruo Qi Feng's neck back and forth, their bodies entwined in a passionate embrace.

  Luo Qifeng's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he said: "Let you drink blood, what are you licking? What kind of thing is this little guy?"

  Ye Liuxiang was still licking his neck, and Rong Qifeng only then discovered that Ye Liuxiang had been hiding his head on his neck all along, unable to see his mouth shape.

  Luó Qī Fēng was driven mad by his licking, especially with Yè Liú Xiǎng still pinning down his waist. Luó Qī Fēng's grey-green eyes had some bloodshot, panting heavily, hot breath spraying beside Yè Liú Xiǎng's cheek.

  Ye Liu Xiang scratched his neck and chuckled, saying in a low voice: "How should I bite... Uncle, are you afraid of pain?"

  Luo Qifeng was a bit speechless, but Ye Liuxiang's words were inaudible, and Ye Liuxiang seemed to be excitedly muttering to himself. At this moment, Luo Qifeng's neck suddenly felt a sharp pain, and Ye Liuxiang's sharp tiger teeth pierced through Luo Qifeng's skin.

  Luo Qifeng felt a slight stinging sensation, followed by a coolness that made the stinging feel insignificant. However, the cool sensation and the warmth of his tongue/head made him feel a bit dizzy.

  Luo Qifeng's large hand suddenly pressed down on Ye Liuxiang's slender waist, causing Ye Liuxiang to jump in fright. He had only bitten out a small blood hole and was licking the trickle of blood that seeped from his skin when Luo Qifeng suddenly pinned him down with considerable force.

  Ye Liu said: "Uncle, are you hurt?"

  Luo Qifeng was panting heavily, but didn't say a word. Anyway, even if he spoke, Ye Liuxiang couldn't see him. Ye Liuxiang licked Luo Qifeng's neck twice again, the small wound had already healed, and Ye Liuxiang reluctantly said: "It tastes very good."

  Luo Qifeng couldn't bear it anymore, pushed open Ye Liuxiang, turned Ye Liuxiang over on the bed, then flipped himself off the bed with a somewhat fleeing posture, violently pulled open the door and walked out in big strides, "Bang" slamming the door shut, returning to his own room next door.

  Ye Liu Xiang sat on his own waist, almost dying of embarrassment. Lu Jing Feng nearly became embarrassed too, stretching out a hand to touch his own neck, not finding any bloodstains. He took a look at the mirror in the bathroom and discovered that it was a bit red, with a sucking mark on top, looking quite ambiguous.

  Luó Qǐ Fēng let out a sigh of relief, turned on the showerhead in the bathroom, and icy water poured down, drenching Luó Qǐ Fēng to the bone, only then did he feel slightly more comfortable.

  The next morning, everyone was ready to set off. The car hadn't been repaired overnight, but after a quick inspection, although it looked a bit rough on the outside, it could still be driven. Everyone loaded up with supplies and prepared to head towards Mount Kuangtu.

  Er Shan took the branches of Jianmu to Mount Kongtong, but because of the wrong opening by Lu Qi, everyone accidentally discovered Er Shan appearing in a stone cave in the wilderness. The stone cave had totems and coffins, but it was unclear what they were used for. It can be confirmed that there have been sacrifices here before, but they have been abandoned.

  There are still many puzzles in people's minds.

  Zou Chengyi fell asleep again after getting on the car, with a dark eye circle. Wen Baiyu felt embarrassed to say that the small hotel was not soundproof, and the room next door was also a double room. The wind was simply beastly, and it was a ghostly type. On the one hand, they said they wouldn't do it, on the other hand, they had already taken Zou Chengyi's everything.

  Looking at Zou Chengyi's haggard appearance, I reckon he must be extremely exhausted.

  The Congtai Mountain is not far from Pingliang, but they can't enter from the main gate, so they had to make a detour and stopped after more than an hour.

  There was no one around, because it was early in the morning, and all around was a thick fog. The mountain area was very chilly, Zou Chengyi shivered with cold, wrapped his clothes tightly around him, and turned sideways to undo his seatbelt, laughing as he said: "Young master, time to get up! Even a chuuni-byo has to be a mother sometimes."

  Zou Cheng let out a low murmur, waved his hand as if shooing away flies, and ended up having his fingers caught by Yi Feng, who placed them on his lips for a gentle kiss.

  Zou Cheng's face was very thin, he was annoyed to no end, finally had to open his eyes, which were bloodshot and slightly swollen, one look and you could tell how intense last night was.

  Everyone got off the bus, and Yi Feng said: "Next, the car can't go any further, we should climb the mountain."

  Wen Baiyu looked at this mountain, it was simply a vast expanse of green, and they were walking towards the development zone. From what he could see, the terrain didn't seem too steep, but the ground was all rocks and dirt, and who knows if it would get steeper further up.

  Wen Baiyu rubbed her hands together and took a deep breath, thinking to herself that climbing mountains on a cold winter's day was truly a wonderful adventure.

  Everyone stopped the car and hid it in a place with many trees, then took down all the backpacks from the trunk and put them on their backs.

  For convenience, Wen Baiyu wore a blue windbreaker with gray pants tucked into his boots. The hood of the windbreaker was pulled up over his head, and Xiao Xuehua sat in it, hugging Xiao Yuema.

  Little Fluffy's eyes still can't see, and he was just born not long ago, always in a daze. Although Little Blood Bone keeps bullying him, Little Fluffy is still a bit attached to him.

  The crowd walked into the mountain, Wen Baiyu walked very steadily, just afraid of shaking out the small feathers and small blood lotus flowers in his hat.

  Just as they entered the mountain, the terrain was not steep at all, and everything was very easy to walk. They didn't have a cable car to ride, so they could only rely on their two legs to climb up.

  Moreover, it is unknown which specific location on Mount Kongtong, Ye Liu's ghostly eyes are sometimes sharp and sometimes dull.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou looked at the mountain scenery and said, "The name of Kuang Tong Mountain has many meanings since ancient times. Some people say it is named after the ancient Kuang Tong clan, while others say it means 'vast and boundless'. There is also an interpretation that says 'the North Dipper is the extreme point of Kuang Tong'."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Speak human language."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou smiled and said: "Simply put, the Feng Shui of Kongtong Mountain is very good."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Then can you see where it is suitable for building an underground palace tomb?'"

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "The mountain is like a dragon, and it's also under the Big Dipper Seven Stars. The feng shui of the whole mountain is very good. Wherever King Wu of Zhou builds his tomb, it will be reasonable."

  Wen Baiyu rolled her eyes and said, "Isn't that the same as not saying it? Do you have to dig it out inch by inch?"

  Everyone followed the mountain upwards, there was no mountain path, they could only part the trees and find their own way. The further they went up, the thicker the fog became, soon a layer of icy frost had condensed on their windbreakers.

  Mo Ran couldn't see his own feet anymore, constantly waving his hands to dispel the fog in front of him. Wan Qi Jing Hou reached out and grabbed him, saying "Don't get lost."

  Ye Liuxiang's figure was very small, and he was immediately engulfed by the fog. Lou Qifeng looked anxious, waving his hand a few times to disperse the fog, but because the fog was too thick, Ye Liuxiang had just appeared when he was swallowed up again.

  Zou Chengyi walked with some difficulty, clearly showing the aftermath of being blown by the wind. His physical strength was also somewhat poor, and sweat dripped from his forehead. The wind didn't say a word, directly picking him up in its arms.

  Zou Chengyi struggled for a moment, and Yi Feng laughed and said: "Young master, don't be stubborn, didn't I used to carry you around before?"

  Zou Cheng thought that in the past, he couldn't move his legs, but now both of his legs are fine. However, he really can't walk anymore because his back hurts too much and it gets even more painful when walking. Every time he does a fart, it's like he's gone crazy. He promised not to do it again, just to take a look at his wound to see if it had healed, but every time he breaks his promise, don't make trouble, wives.

  Zou Chengyi was really helpless, so he leaned on Yi Feng's chest, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep. After all, Yi Feng had a lot of physical strength that couldn't be used anywhere else.

  Ye Liu Xiang saw Yi Feng hugging Zou Chengyi and rushed over, waving his hand and saying: "Uncle, uncle, hug me too."

  Luo Qifeng's face turned red, but seeing Ye Liuxiang always submerged in the thick fog also made him feel a bit unsafe. In order not to get separated, Luo Qifeng half-squatted down and let Ye Liuxiang lie on his back, carrying him forward.

  Ye Liu Xiang was very light, with no weight at all. Huo Feng carried him on his back without any effort. However, Ye Liu Xiang was not well-behaved on his back. He pinched a yellow leaf and swung it back and forth, tickling Huo Feng's ears, just like they were really touring the Cuiyun Mountain.

  Ye Liu Xiang had played enough with Ye Zi, who was now rubbing against Luo Qi Feng's neck. Luo Qi Feng couldn't take it anymore and turned his head to say, "Stop rubbing against my neck."

  Ye Liuxiang had to look at Luo Qifeng's lips to know what he was saying, so Luo Qifeng turned around and said, but Ye Liuxiang stared at his lips for a second or two, then suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked the lower lip.

  Luo Qifeng's mind went "Boom!" and he immediately turned his head back.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the two people in front of her, her eyes fixed on the hickey on Luo Qifeng's neck, and she couldn't help but touch her chin, feeling that these two people might have developed an unusual relationship when no one knew.

  After walking for two hours, the mountain road became very difficult to walk. Wen Baiyu was exhausted and shouted for a stop. Everyone found a place to sit down and rest. The fog was very thick, and everyone sat close together, but they couldn't see each other at all. They couldn't even see their own hands clearly.

  Wen Bai stretched his hand into his own hat and touched it, the small feathers and small blood flowers were all there, the small feathers might have fallen asleep, lying in his hat, their wings also shrunk.

  Wen Baiyu sat on the ground panting, Wan Qi Jinghou handed him a bottle of water, Wen Baiyu twisted it open and took two sips, but the water was too cold and the weather was chilly, he didn't feel like drinking at all.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou grasped his hand, clenched it tightly and felt the warmth of Wen Bai Yu's palm, feeling a bit cool, saying: "Are you okay?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded, but he really couldn't speak anymore. As soon as he spoke, his voice trembled. After all, his body wasn't good now, the weather was gloomy and cold, the fog was heavy, and he had to engage in intense exercise.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou supported Wen Bai Yu's head and let him lean on his shoulder, softly saying: "Sleep for a while, be good."

  Wen Baiyu was too tired and leaned against his shoulder, soon falling asleep.

  Ye Liu Xiang gazed at them with a hint of envy in her eyes, perhaps because cicadas' lives were always so short-lived, shedding their skins repeatedly between life and death. Since escaping the tomb on Mt. Kunlun, Ye Liu Xiang had many thoughts and things she wanted to experience.

  Ye Liu touched the side and found that Luo Qifeng was sitting quite close, so he also leaned over, leaning on Luo Qifeng's body. The uncle didn't move, his body was a bit stiff, letting him lean against him.

  Wen Baiyu was caught in a daze, and she didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, she felt a bit dizzy. The sky was gloomy, and it was impossible to tell what time it was.

  Wen Baiyu was shocked and jumped up, only to find himself on the back of Wan Kuang Jing Hou [in the future], carrying a good life in space.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said behind him, "Are you awake?"

  Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand to look at his watch and found that it was already afternoon. He had slept for such a long time.

  Everyone stopped to rest at this time, and Wan Qi Jing Hou took out Wen Bai Yu's lunch and let Wen Bai Yu eat.

  Wen Baiyu himself had a poor stomach, and he had just woken up. He was holding a bread and was a bit dazed. Wan Jingshou leaned over and kissed him on the lips. Wen Baiyu didn't even wake up, and instead stuck out his tongue to lick his own lips.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou bit his lip, and inserted his tongue, Wen Bai Yu finally woke up at this time, making a "hmm" sound in her mouth, because she struggled for a moment, and the small feathers in her hat were shaken awake.

  A small feather crawled out along the warm white feather hat, and Xiao Xuehua immediately wrapped around it with a vine, sitting directly on Warm White Feather's shoulder. Seeing Wan Qi Jing Hou and Warm White Feather playing affectionately, Xiao Xuehua laughed and clapped her hands, as if cheering them on.

  Wen Baiyu is a bit sober now, fortunately his son can't see him, otherwise he would have been spoiled since childhood, what's to be done.

  Little Feather sat on the shoulder of Wen Baiyu, rubbed her eyes, flapped her wings twice, and drove away the surrounding fog. Then she slowly stood up.

  Wen Baiyu didn't dare to move, fearing that he would fall off his own shoulders. At this moment, the small feather flapped its wings and suddenly flew up from Wen Baiyu's shoulders.

  The little feather was too small, and wearing a white dress, with white wings, it flew into the thick fog with a whoosh, and disappeared instantly!

  Wen Bai Yu crouched down, his whole head covered in sweat. With a "whoosh", he stood up and chased after him, thinking to himself that indeed having a son with wings was not good, as he ran wildly all over the place.

  Everyone suddenly panicked, Little Zu was gone, and the surrounding area was filled with thick fog, making it impossible to see clearly. Everyone didn't dare to wave their hands to disperse the fog, fearing that they would accidentally blow away Little Yu's feathers.

  The little vine flower jumped up from Wen Baiyu's shoulder, the tendril "swished" and wrapped around the nearby tree trunk, then swung forward quickly, and in an instant, it plunged into the dense fog. Just when Wen Baiyu thought both little ancestors were lost, a tendril stretched out again, and even hooked at them with its pointed end.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  The crowd followed the vines and ran forward, soon they saw a half-collapsed temple, rushed into the temple, and saw Xiaoyu sitting on the dirty altar, flapping his wings, while Xiao Xuehua stood beside him, helping to remove the dirt from his body.

  Wen Baiyu strode over, preparing to educate his son and prevent him from running around recklessly. What if he got lost? Just as he was about to scold him sternly, Xiao Yu looked up at him with an angelic face, seven or eight parts resembling Wan Jie's, with a round and chubby baby face that was even more adorable than Wan Jie's. His bright red eyes blinked repeatedly, and his long eyelashes almost blew Wen Baiyu away.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  The warm white feathers swallowed all the righteous words and heartfelt words, and stared at the small feathers with a pale face.

  Ye Liu Xiang said: "There is actually a broken temple here."

  Everyone noticed this broken temple, the broken temple is very hidden, in the dense/thick forest, if it wasn't for the little feathers running wildly, they would definitely not find this broken temple.

  The temple has basically collapsed, the wooden debris is about to turn into powder, it looks like the Eastern Unbeaten Brother's forbidden years are far away. The temple collapsed, almost exposed in the air, inside is a Buddhist statue, not Taoist.

  This ruined temple used to be quite large in scale, all the Buddha statues were gilded, but now it's already dilapidated.

  The ruined temple covers a large area. They slipped around in front and then entered the back, where many Buddha statues were enshrined, all of which had been damaged.

  The ruined temple should still have a second floor, but due to the collapse and the wooden staircase, it's impossible to go up. The second floor upstairs has also collapsed almost completely.

  The leaves rustled with a light body weight, climbed up the stairs to take a look, and then walked back down, saying: "It's all gray, don't know how long it's been abandoned."

  He said, bouncing down and jumping back to the first floor, just hearing a hollow sound. Ye Liu looked down and saw that the floor he was standing on was made of wood, but this piece of wood should be very valuable, and it didn't rot as severely as other woods.

  Ye Liu responded and stomped her foot again, then heard a hollow sound.

  Ye Liu Xiang said: "Is it empty below?"

  As soon as he said that, everyone gathered around. Ruo Qifeng was afraid that he would be in danger alone, so he stood by his side and walked over first. Who knew that Ruo Qifeng's weight was too heavy? As soon as he stepped onto the wooden board, there was a creaking sound "creak..." followed by a loud crash "crash!"

  Ye Liu responded with an "ah" and felt his entire body sinking down, then a massive amount of wooden debris and dust poured down from above.

  Ye Liu Xiang hugged his head, with both legs facing down, ready to fall, but was caught by Luo Qi Feng and pulled out of the hole like a small chicken.

  Ye Liu Xiang stared at the big hole on the ground, shook his head, and was covered in dirt and wood shavings.

  The crowd gathered around and looked down to find that under the hollow wooden board was actually an underground room!

  Wen Baiyu took out a flashlight and shone it inside, saying: "This broken temple actually has a hidden compartment? It doesn't seem to be very deep."

  Below is obviously something very spacious, and it can't be seen to the end when lit up. Moreover, it's made of stone bricks, more exquisite than the temple above.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Shall we go down and take a look?'"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded, took out the rope from his backpack, tied it to a big tree outside, and bound the flashlight to his arm. He first slid down along the rope.

  Everyone followed suit, and as soon as they landed, a cloud of dust burst forth from under their feet. The place was eerily cold and musty, with an odd moldy smell that suggested it had been sealed off for ages.

  Wen Baiyu fanned herself with her hand and shone her flashlight around, saying: "Huh? There's something over there."

  He said, slowly walking forward, getting a little closer, the flashlight lit up, and suddenly it became clear that it wasn't something, but a dead person!

  It's not the smell of mold here, but the smell of death!

  All that can be seen is a stone chamber slightly larger than a basketball court, with several people lying in the corner, to be exact, skeletons, scattered and piled together, looking like they were killed and abandoned here.

  Wen Baiyu covered her nose and said, "Why is there a dead person here?"

  The crowd walked past, and Wan Qi Jing Hou pulled out a dagger and squatted down to examine the skeletons.

  The corpse had turned into bones, and the clothes on it had rotted away, making it impossible to discern its appearance. The era was very distant. Wan Qi Jing Hou gently poked at the bones with his finger, furrowed his brow and said: "There are knife wounds on the body, it was murdered. And I found a meaningful place - the summoner of the spirits from another realm."

  Wen Bai's eyelid twitched and he said, "What is on the corpse?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou used a ladle/scoop to lift up a broken sack next to the corpse.

  The broken bag has already rotted, with a bit of golden thread on it, vaguely visible that it should have been a valuable item back then.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou waved his hand, and the broken bag suddenly opened its mouth. A small object fell out from inside, "Ding Dong" hitting the ground, it was actually a fish, and it was a golden fish. The fish's body was mottled, and the gold had also been corroded.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Fish?"

  Zou Cheng furrowed his brow and said, "This is a fish bag, inside it's a fish token. In the Tang Dynasty, fish tokens and fish bags were symbols of official status. When attending court and entering the palace, one had to bring this thing along. With a fish bag, and a golden fish token at that, it looks like he's an official of the third rank or higher."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou flipped through the corpses again, and several of them were wearing fish tokens. Some had no fish bags. These corpses looked like they were of different ranks, ranging from sixth rank down to third rank and above.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Many imperial officials were killed here?"

  He Feng smiled and said: "Indeed, it's getting more and more interesting."

  Everyone used their flashlights to carefully examine the stone chamber, which was built with stone bricks and was extremely sturdy. This craftsmanship is typical of the Tang Dynasty, when it was at its peak and had a lot of wealth, resulting in highly developed building techniques. Many Tang tombs were built by digging into mountains, simply because they could afford it.

  Wan Qi Jinghou tapped the stone brick with his ladle and said, "The bricks are laid very tightly, the copper water has been poured, and the wall is very thick, but it's empty behind."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is there a way?"

  Zou Chengyi said: "A group of court officials were collectively slaughtered here. With such endurance, they are absolutely not bandits."

  "What kind of person is that?"

  Luo Qifeng said: "It's the Emperor."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and said: "Moreover, there is a stone room here, which has been bricked up. Perhaps something is hidden behind it."

  Zou Chengyi said: "This stone wall has been poured with copper water, we don't have explosives, and if we want to dig it open, I estimate it will be until tomorrow morning."

  Yi Feng laughed and said: "Young master doesn't need to worry about this, let's take a rest first."

  He said, and took Zou Chengyi to sit down on one side.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou took the dagger and walked over, holding it against the wall and tapping it continuously while listening carefully with his ear close to the wall. His movements were very serious, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his strong, slender fingers gently stroking the stone wall.

  Wen Baiyu's face suddenly turned red, and she didn't know why, but she felt that Wan Qi Jing Hou's action of touching the stone wall was so... su.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou listened for a while, then found a place on the wall and knocked twice. He started to scrape along those stone bricks with his knife, making a "sizzling" sound.

  He drew a circle, seemingly without any effort, the dragon scales cut through iron like mud. However, the wall was really deep, and the blade of the knife didn't go in until it got stuck at the hilt. The previous emperor's jade seal, Mo Nian.

  Wen Baiyu felt that Wan Kuang Jing Hou's movements were like cutting a cake, cutting a larger piece of cake, along the brick wall drew a circle, then stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the brick, and with a loud "rumble", a stone brick at least several centimeters thick was pulled out by him in one go.

  The crowd immediately gathered around, Wen Baiyu shone his flashlight inside, and it was surprisingly dark and made of earth.

  The little feather flapped its wings and flew out of Wen Baiyu's hat, almost flying into the hole. Wen Baiyu's heart was about to jump out when suddenly, "Whoosh!" Two vines swooped in and caught the little feather.

  Xiao Yu Mao was dragged back by Xiao Xue Hua, and Wen Bai Yu only then swallowed his heart back in, feeling that his son was also a demon king of the mortal world, being so frightened, he would definitely be scared to death.

  The little feather was tied up by the small blood marrow flower, and it twisted uncomfortably. The small blood marrow flower, for safety's sake, continued to tie him up without releasing the vines. For the first time, Wen Baiyu thought that Xiaoxuehua had done a good job...

  Wan Xi Jing Hou quickly continued to dismantle the wall, and took down many more bricks. As a result, everyone was shocked to discover that behind this tightly sealed stone wall was actually...

  Thief!

  Luo Qifeng was somewhat surprised to squat down and look at the hole. Behind the stone wall was an earthen pit, which was dug very round. The years seemed to be very long, but not a bit collapsed. With a flashlight shining in, this is absolutely a professional digger, and it's a very powerful one.

  Luo Qifeng exclaimed in surprise: "How can there be a thief cave behind this?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "So is this place a dungeon?"

  Zou Chengyi said: "Maybe it's possible, and since it's sealed so tightly, and people are killed to silence them, just looking at it you can tell they don't want others to know, let's go take a look."

  Everyone made some preparations, with Wan Xi Jing Hou leading the way and Luo Qi Feng bringing up the rear. They all tied flashlights to their arms for convenience when crawling through the cave and also brought weapons for self-defense.

  This cave is much wider than imagined, at least they crawled inside, people like Wan Qi Jing Hou and Luo Qi Feng who are tall, don't feel cramped.

  The tunnel is very dry and dug in a very square shape. The corners are also very cleverly designed with many load-bearing points to prevent the tunnel from collapsing.

  Among them, Wan Qi Jinghou and Luo Qifeng were both masters of the lower Dou. Luo Qifeng was amazed by this tomb thief, reached out to touch the soil on top, and said: "The age of this tomb thief is much earlier than those dead people outside, and it hasn't collapsed at all, and it's dug so neatly."

  Wen Baiyu followed Wan Qi Jinghou into the room, using a flashlight to illuminate the surroundings. Suddenly, he remembered a phrase and said, "Official thief?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Looking at this scale, it should be an official tomb raider. Ordinary grave robbers are concerned with efficiency and wouldn't do such meticulous work. Being able to enter smoothly is enough. From this tunnel, the person who wants to enter the tomb must have a very high status."

  Wen Baiyu was a bit puzzled and said, "If this is the underground palace built by King Zhou Mu of the Zhou Dynasty, then there must be good things hidden inside. Why else would officials and thieves come here? And earlier, Luo Ge said that this tomb tunnel is much older than the Tang Dynasty, which means that many people have visited here. What exactly is hidden here?"

  Everyone followed the thief hole and crawled in, the design of the thief hole was very clever, but after all, it was a thief hole. They crawled for a long time, and this thief hole turned out to be unexpectedly long. During this time, Wen Baiyu felt a bit tired, and Wan Qi Jinghou seemed to have heard his breathing change, so he slowed down his pace.

  After crawling for a while, Wan Xi Jing Hou's movements suddenly accelerated, and his body shrunk immediately after, quickly drilling out of the thief hole. Wen Bai Yu turned on his flashlight to look ahead, only to find that the cave had come to an end. He hastily crawled forward as well. As he crawled out, Wan Xi Jing Hou reached out to support him.

  The tunnel was dug in the tomb passage, and everyone crawled out of it. They all took two deep breaths immediately. Although the tunnel was ingenious, it was a bit narrow after all, and it was inevitable to lack oxygen for a long time.

  After everyone came out, they all used their flashlights to illuminate the surroundings. The surroundings were made of stone and looked like a tomb.

  However, this tomb is really too personalized, because its tomb path is not straight, nor zigzag, nor semicircular, but round!

  At a glance, I saw the tomb path winding all the way, presenting a huge arc.

  The two sides of the tomb path are carved with rock paintings, without color, and these rock paintings look very distant, because time is too long, a bit weathered.

  Wen Baiyu shone his flashlight on the rock painting and reached out to touch it, saying: "What animal is this?"

  Everyone gathered around to take a look, and on the rock painting was a monster crouching on the ground. The monster's body was relatively flat, with a big mouth, horns on its head, and wings on its body. It had four sturdy legs and a huge tail.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou took a look and said: "It should be an alligator."

  "Crocodile?"

  Ye Liu said with a smile: "I've never seen such an alligator before."

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "It's an exaggeration technique, it's not a real crocodile, it should be a totem."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou walked forward slowly and looked at the other rock paintings, which were still depicting this crocodile, many crocodiles, with people worshiping them.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It seems that we have found the right place, 'thor' in Miao language means crocodile."

  Wen Baiyu said: "So this is an extension of the Zhuan Zhu?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "It should be like this, let's go take a look."

  He walked forward while talking, and the shape of this tomb was something Wen Baiyu had never heard of before. They kept turning, and all the roads turned right.

  After walking for half an hour, everyone suddenly felt a bit dizzy and nauseous. Wen Baiyu leaned against the wall and started to retch, saying: "It won't do, are we hitting the wall of ghosts or something? We've been circling around, I'm getting dizzy."

  Zou Chengyi made a fluorescent mark on the wall and said: "Let's make a mark, let's go for a walk and see if we can come back."

  The circular tomb passage continued to extend forward, and the crowd walked for another ten minutes, still without seeing that fluorescent sign. It can be initially proven that there is no ghost wall, but this tomb passage is endless, with alligator totems on both sides, not even a single tomb chamber, really don't know what it's used for.

  Always veering to one side, Wen Baiyu's body didn't feel well now, constantly wanting to vomit. In fact, others were also dizzy and wanted to vomit. Even after stopping, the tomb path in front of them seemed to be spinning around.

  After walking for more than an hour, everyone was dizzy and numb. Ye Liu Xiang suddenly pointed ahead and said: "There's light! There's light!"

  There was light in the tomb, and the only explanation was that it was a long-burning lamp. Everyone immediately rushed towards the place where the light was coming from, and after turning a corner of the tomb path, a tomb chamber finally appeared before everyone's eyes.

  As the crowd walked in, they saw that there was a lamp stand at each of the four corners of the tomb chamber. Long-lasting lamps were lit on the lamp stands, and on top of each lamp stand stood a large bird with an unusually strange shape. When Harry met God.

  It looks a bit like a carving, but its face is shaped like that of a jackal, with patterns all over its body, arched back, standing on the four corners of the lamp base, and its eyes shining like black gemstones in the dimly lit tomb.

  In the center of the tomb, there was a totem pole with a fierce-looking owl perched on top of a wooden stake, which also had annual rings.

  Apart from this, there is nothing else in the tomb except for some offerings.

  Wen Baiyu immediately walked over and took a look at the wooden stake. There was no crack on the stake, which means there was no mechanism.

  It seems that this tomb is also used as a place for worship.

  The statue of Mu also proved that this was the underground palace they were looking for, which King Zhoumu had built at great cost after slaying a ferocious beast.

  Everyone walked around in the tomb and felt that it was empty. Ye Liu suddenly shouted, "There is a dead person here."

  He said so, and the crowd gathered around, only to see that there was indeed a dead body in the corner of the wall, which was blocked by the offerings and couldn't be seen at first glance.

  And what's even stranger is the dead man's attire.

  Not a slave or prisoner of war, he wore modern tactical gear, curled up on the ground, his face completely obscured, with a backpack beside him and a pendant around his neck.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou picked up the token and took a look at it, saying: "It's just a rustic scholar."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "How did he get in? The walls of the stone room are intact, and he must have entered from somewhere else."

  Luo Qifeng squatted down, checked the dead man's backpack, and found it was heavy. He opened it and said, "There are still a lot of things inside, I think he came in through the thief cave."

  He rummaged through his bag and found many guns inside, which looked very advanced and not outdated. There were also explosives and grenades.

  "Hmm?" Luo Qifeng said, pulling out a dried-up bread from inside and saying: "This is strange. This person has food and water, so why did he die here?"

  He said, stretching out his hand to turn over the corpse. The corpse suddenly turned over, and everyone saw the face of the corpse at once, all letting out a "hiss" sound, taking in a breath.

  The dead man's face was extremely ferocious, with a hint of madness and distortion, as if he had suffered extreme stimulation. The corpse had not yet fully decomposed, his face was covered in bloodstains, his hands were clenched into fists in front of him, but you could see that the flesh under his fingernails had already turned black, it seemed that the bloodstains on his face were self-inflicted scratches.

  Wen Baiyu was startled, while Xiao Xuemu was even bolder, stretching her neck to look outside.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is this person crazy? Is he hallucinating or poisoned?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "His wound is non-toxic and his complexion is normal."

  Zou Chengyi said: "With water and food, and guns, isn't it a living nightmare?"

  Wen Baiyu thought it was likely that there was something in this tomb that could scare people like this.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou touched the dead body, and from his combat jacket's side pocket, he pulled out a small notebook and a broken pen. The pen looked very valuable, but it was already broken in half.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou opened the book, and on the first page was a photo. The photo showed a stone carving of a mythical creature, which they had seen before - there was one in the cave, and another here. However, the background of the stone carving in the photo was not either of the two they had seen.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou flipped through the pages, saw many hand-drawn maps, circular tomb paths, this was the road they had taken, presumably the deceased person had also gone through such a circular tomb path.

  The tomb passage is circular, winding down continuously, like a coiled snake, extending downward in circles. Looking at the painting, it's not a ghost wall, but rather a design similar to a spiral staircase, which gives grave robbers a strong psychological pressure.

  But it seems that this dead old man did not think it was a spiral staircase, or a snake-shaped tomb passage. He wrote two words next to it, the pen and ink were preserved for a long time, very clear, and very solemn.

  Growth ring.

  Wen Baiyu pointed at the two characters in surprise and said: "Year ring? Isn't this a metaphorical extension of 'wood grain'?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said, "It seems he has discovered quite a few things."

  He Feng smiled and said: "What a pity he's dead."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou flipped the book again, and this person seemed to be drawing a map of the terrain, drawing out all the tomb chambers he had walked through, including this one, with the words "ancestral worship" written on it.

  The further back the maps go, the more rough they become, and many tomb locations are reversed. The previous one was marked as No. 1, but the next one was actually marked as No. 3, and then the numbers changed again later on.

  The topographic map eventually became a ghostly symbol, the handwriting becoming more and more sloppy, and the paper was pierced with holes. The psychological changes of this person can be seen, constantly approaching collapse.

  The next page had a few scribbled words on it - can't get out, there are ghosts here!

  This line of words is written with a shocking and thrilling tone, with blood still on it, and even meat scraps stuck to the paper. Wen Baiyu can almost imagine the person's collapsed appearance, constantly clawing at their own face.

  Behind that was empty, nothing at all, but on the paper were big and small holes, which had been poked out by a pen, looking very anxious.

  Everyone was shocked and amazed. After reading the notes, they looked at the dead man again. The ferocious face of the dead man made everyone's back sweat a little.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou was very calm and said: "It seems that the design of this tomb passage is not just as simple as relying on the annual ring."

  He said, shaking the notebook in his hand: "The tomb chamber of the tomb passage is constantly changing. We just walked out of the tomb passage and felt dizzy. It's possible that it's not because of the arc-shaped design, but because the tomb passage is slowly moving."

  "Another mobile tomb?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "When the tomb passage moves, it will connect to different chambers, resulting in a displacement, and the records of this person's chamber displacements are all regular."

  Wen Baiyu said: "What's the difference between odd and even numbers?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "Since there is a rule, it will definitely not be impossible to get out."

  Ye Liu Xiang laughed and said: "Hey, not everyone has a psychological quality as good as yours, after all, this is a place where the dead live."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou rummaged through the things in his backpack and said, "We can go now. Let's take a look inside again. If we find the Jianmu tree branches early, we can leave early." Roadside A encountered the time-traveling woman.

  Everyone stood up with him, Ye Liu Xiang also stood up, but just as he stood up for a moment, he suddenly fell down again.

  Lu Qifeng was startled and immediately reached out to grab him. Ye Liuxiang's body was soft and limp, and Lu Qifeng quickly turned him over and laid him flat on the ground. He saw that Ye Liuxiang's face was waxen yellow, his lips trembling.

  "What's wrong? Poisoned? Injured?"

  Ye Liu lay weakly on the ground, gasped twice and shook his head: "Nothing, just too hungry."

  Everyone looked at his weak appearance and thought he didn't know when he was hit, but Ye Liuxiang actually said he was hungry!

  Luo Qifeng said: "Don't joke with me, what's wrong exactly?"

  The sound of rustling leaves was weak and said: "I'm really starving."

  Luo Qifeng was clearly somewhat skeptical, after all Ye Liuxiang and they ate the same food, if it's said that no one ate anything, then Wen Baiyu slept all the way, woke up and didn't eat much, how could Ye Liuxiang be so hungry.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou glanced at Ye Liu Xiang and said lightly: "Cicadas drink but do not eat, born in summer and die in autumn. Mayflies neither drink nor eat, born in the morning and dead by dusk."

  As soon as he said this, everyone immediately understood that for Ye Liu Xiang, food couldn't fill his hunger, only blood could keep him alive. In that case, his last meal was still the one he had eaten before leaving, which was already many days ago.

  Leaves rustled as his body weakened, his entire body soft and limp, constantly twitching, his breathing slightly rapid, slowly closing his eyes.

  Just as everyone was coming to their senses, Ruo Qifeng saw Ye Liuxiang suddenly stop moving and couldn't help but reach out to touch him. He felt that Ye Liuxiang's body was icy cold, which startled him and he said: "Ye Liuxiang?"

  Ye Liu Xiang didn't move for half a day, Kuang Qi Feng stretched out his hand to feel his breath, but there was none. He then pressed his neck, and there was no pulse either. This person had suddenly died in front of everyone.

  Luo Qi's eyes widened in disbelief, and he shook Ye Liu's body. The young man's body was very thin and cold to the touch, and had lost all its warmth in an instant, lying motionless on the ground.

  "Leaf Stream Sound?"

  Lu Qifeng called out again, but Ye Liuxiang still didn't move, not even a slight reaction. Lu Qifeng felt his hands trembling as he reached out to hold him, and the person's body was icy cold, seeming to have been dead for a long time.

  Wen Baiyu was slightly surprised and said: "What's wrong with him?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly: "Advance molt."

  He said that, and Ye Liu suddenly moved, his body seemed to convulse, his throat muttered a sound, and he felt like someone was holding him in their arms, holding him tightly.

  Luo Qifeng suddenly saw Ye Liuxiang lose her breath, but the next moment she suddenly came back to life. The ups and downs made him speechless, he let out a sigh of relief, and with one swift motion, threw Ye Liuxiang to the ground.

  Ye Liu responded with an "aiyo" and broke out in a sweat, saying: "Uncle, why did you throw me?"

  He said, struggling to get up from the ground, his body swaying weakly. Rou Qi Feng had no choice but to lend him a hand to support Emperor Zhan.

  Ye Liu Xiang spread out his hands and tossed a transparent cicada shell to Wen Bai Yu, saying: "Your son is lucky. With this cicada shell, I estimate that he will be able to see again in less than half a month."

  He spoke with some difficulty, panting heavily, extremely weak after the ordeal, and after finishing this sentence, he fell into Lu Qifeng's arms, gasping for breath, his eyes still rolling back.

  Luo Qifeng said irritably: "Can't you not scare people?"

  Ye Liu Xiang closed his eyes and said: "I'm so hungry..."

  Luo Qifeng let out a "huff" and suddenly grabbed Ye Liuxiang's neck, forcing the young man's head onto his own shoulder, saying: "Hurry up."

  Ye Liu Xiang's breathing suddenly became heavy, Ruo Xi Feng was about to say a second sentence, when suddenly "hiss——" a sound, thinking that this little rabbit is not ambiguous at all, really biting down, more painful than last time, the small tiger teeth are very sharp, pierced through Ruo Xi Feng's neck, both hands grasping his back tightly, nostrils flaring heavily, continuously making humming sounds, lips tightly pursed, tongue constantly licking and prodding, not letting a single drop of blood come out.

  Everyone saw that Lu Qi Feng was feeding Ye Liu Xiang with his own blood, and at first, they were still worried. Ye Liu Xiang wasn't an ordinary person, to put it bluntly, he was also a kind of monster, and he had a wild nature. Wen Bai Yu feared that Ye Liu Xiang would get too excited and really suck Lu Qi Feng dry.

  After a few seconds, Wen Baiyu felt that his worries were completely unnecessary, and why the scene of drinking blood was so unsuitable to watch...

  Wen Bai's old face turned red with shame, and after turning his face away, he could still hear Ye Liu's humming sound and heavy breathing, it was simply a live broadcast...

  Stop watching, it's not suitable for kids, you know?

  Little Blood Orchid pouted her mouth with a smiling face, completely unfeeling about being underage.

  Just as Wen Baiyu turned his head, he suddenly saw the stone carving on the lamp base, which looked like a eagle and also like a wolf, blinked its eyes.

  Wen Baiyu thought she was seeing things, but in an instant, the strange creature suddenly let out a "ah—" cry, somewhat similar to a baby's wail.

  The monster flapped its wings and took off, its powerful hind legs kicking violently, the lantern "bang" hitting the ground. The monster pounced out and knocked Wen Baiyu to the ground in an instant.

  At the same time, the monsters on the other three lamp posts also flew up and pounced on others.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand and grabbed the hind legs of a strange creature, flinging it out with force. With a loud "thud", it smashed into the tomb wall, causing the creature to fall to the ground, momentarily dazed.

  Wen Baiyu's arm shook violently, and the phoenix bone dagger in his hand instantly slashed out. The monster's long beak was cut by Wen Baiyu's dagger, almost falling off half of it. Suddenly, it felt pain and flapped its wings to fly away, not daring to fight back. It quickly rushed out of the tomb chamber and into the spiral-shaped tomb passage.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou quickly rolled over to Wen Bai Yu's side and pulled him up from the ground.

  At that moment, Wen Baiyu saw a white thing grasped in the monster's claws. The white thing was very small and flapped its wings with all its might, but the monster's body was too big, and it couldn't break free.

  Wen Baiyu glared and took a look, it turned out to be Xiao Yuema, both wings were grasped by the monster, and immediately sank into the black tomb passage, shouting: "Quickly chase!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's eyes narrowed, his eyes filled with a cold and gloomy chill, he suddenly darted into the tomb passage, chasing after him like a leopard.
