Chapter 64: Ghost Eye 4
Wen Baiyu was startled and went to look at Xiao Fu's hand. Xiao Fu's hand was fine, there wasn't any blood on it, just a bit pale, let alone any marks on the back of his hand.
It's foresight again.
So far, Xiaofu's predictions have all been accurate, which makes Wen Baiyu's heart skip a beat.
The Emperor of the Underworld was taken aback for a moment, and Wan Qi Jing Hou frowned and said, "Book of Life and Death."
The Emperor of the Underworld took out that thread-bound book again, "rustle rustle" flipped through it, and flipped to Xiaofu's lifespan. Previously, he had revealed to Wen Baiyu that Xiaofu's lifespan was twenty years old, but now, Xiaofu's lifespan was written in bold - seventeen.
The Emperor of the Underworld narrowed his eyes, and the Book of Life and Death had all the good fortune and longevity automatically formed according to a person's fate and creation. Once formed, it would never change, but Xiaofu's fate had changed from long life to short life at the age of 20 due to the ghost eye, and now it has shortened again?!
Wen Baiyu didn't have time to look, Mingdi had already closed the Book of Life and Death, then said to Xiao Fu: "Close your eyes and don't look at anything."
Xiao Fu nodded and closed his eyes very obediently.
Huang boss was still studying those blue jade, as soon as Mingdi told Xiaofu not to look at things, he immediately said: "No way, no way, Xiaofu can see unclean things, if we don't let him see, we are in danger. I'm telling you it's okay, that little rabbit will pretend to be pitiful all day long, you guys don't understand."
Huang Boss hadn't finished speaking, when Ming Emperor turned his head and gave him a cold glance. Huang Boss didn't recognize this Mr. Ming, only knowing he was a boss who did business and looked very wealthy, wearing a suit and sunglasses that were all high-end goods. He had no idea the man's gaze could be so terrifying.
Old Huang shook a bit but didn't think much of it, cursed a few times in his heart, and went to look at his jade.
Wen Baiyu said: "This is not a place to stay for long, let's hurry out, you also quickly take the ghost eye away."
The Dark Emperor suddenly laughed and said, "Wen Baiyu, I won't hide it from you. The Ghost Eye is a thing of utmost yin, not something that can be retrieved with just a wave of the hand. If I were to force it back or if Little Fu doesn't want to give it to me, the Ghost Eye will shatter immediately... Even if Little Fu willingly gives it to me, without the burial objects from the silkworm cocoon coffin, I still won't be able to retrieve the Ghost Eye. Others say that Yan Wang has destined three watches of death, who dares to keep someone until five watches? However, life and death have their fate, cause and effect circulate, it's not something I can decide, do you understand?"
Xiao Fu couldn't understand what they were saying, but he closed his eyes tightly. Wen Baiyu fell silent, and Wan Qi Jinghou stood up and said: "Then let's find the silkworm stone coffin first."
As everyone was about to leave the stone room, they saw Old Huang directing Ah Quan to chisel down all the jade from the wall.
Wen Baiyu said: "These are not jade, I advise you not to move."
Huang boss smiled and said: "Isn't it jade? What is it?"
Wen Baiyu said: "It's human bones."
Huang boss laughed again, as if Wen Baiyu was illiterate, and said: "I, Huang Ye, have been doing business for so many years, and I can still tell jade from others. You young people are good at fighting, but your eyesight is not good. I'm telling you, these jades can sell for a good price. In ancient times, if you could find a jade vein, it wouldn't just be your family that would prosper for the rest of their lives, but your whole clan would thrive! And don't even get me started, if this were human bones, such beautiful human bones, I reckon they'd sell for an even higher price than jade."
Huang Laoban is a typical person who only cares about money and not his life. Ah Quan was a bit afraid, saying: "Huang Laoban, why don't we go find the coffin of the silkworm first and come back later to deal with this? Otherwise, these are too heavy, and our bags are full of food, can't fit much."
Huang boss thought it was right, but he was also afraid that the tomb would be too big and he wouldn't be able to find his way back. So he prepared to dig up a small piece first and bring it with him. If he really couldn't come back, he wouldn't regret it.
Wen Baiyu didn't want to bother with him, so he walked out first with the crowd, leaving Huang Laoban alone to scrape off the bones on the wall.
Huang boss was about to chisel when he heard a "giggle" sound, similar to the croaking of frogs.
A Quan was startled and said: "How did I hear some noise?"
Wen Baiyu looked back at the path behind the tomb and said, "It's not good, there is a landslide under that tomb gate. It should be the zongzi that pushed the tomb gate open."
"What! What's going on?!" Old Huang shouted loudly.
Wen Baiyu said: "Hurry up."
The Emperor of the Underworld crouched down and carried Little Fu on his back. Little Fu was frightened and opened his eyes, also looking into the dark tomb passage, but he couldn't see anything, only hearing the "heh heh" sound, as if it was approaching them.
Huang boss has always been messing with antiques, claiming to be knowledgeable and experienced, but in fact, he has never seen a moving zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling) in his life, most of them are just ancient corpses that have long been dead.
Huang boss was immediately frightened out of his wits and rushed forward with the first one.
Wen Baiyu wanted to stop him, but he was walking so fast in the tomb passage, and another patch of darkness made her afraid that there might be some mechanism.
But Huang ran extremely fast and suddenly disappeared into the darkness of the tomb passage, accompanied by loud cries of "Ahhhhh". The crowd chased for a few steps, shining their flashlights forward, but the walls of the tomb passage seemed to absorb light, and the flashlight's beam couldn't shine very far before it dimmed.
Wan Xi Jing Hou turned his head to look at the wall, which had a metallic luster as if it was coated with special paint. He furrowed his brow and said: "There's something wrong with this section of the wall. The flashlight can't shine through to the tomb passage. There should be a mechanism ahead. Everyone watch your step."
He said, leading the way forward, and everyone followed carefully behind him. They walked a long distance, but still didn't see Old Huang in front of them. However, the "giggling" sound from behind grew louder and louder.
Xiao Fu was trembling with fear, Mingdi felt him constantly shaking on his back and couldn't help but comfortingly say: "Xiao Fu, a man shouldn't be afraid, close your eyes, we'll be out of here soon."
Xiao Fu nodded vigorously, fearing that Mingdi might not see him, and also made a sound of "en". He grabbed Mingdi's shoulder, reached into his pocket and clenched the paper crane in his palm.
The "heh heh" sound behind me grew louder and louder, gradually accompanied by a "rustling" sound, as if a large piece of something was scraping against the ground and crawling over, making my hair stand on end.
A Quan was so frightened that he almost fainted, shouting desperately. Wen Baiyu said: "Stop yelling, hold your breath as much as possible, and don't run around."
A'quan hastily nodded and then covered his mouth with his hand.
Not far ahead, there was a tomb chamber, but no gate, it was wide open. The crowd hid inside, where many offerings were placed, as well as large bronze ritual vessels. The people dispersed and hid behind these large ritual vessels.
The Emperor of the Underworld covered Xiao Fu's mouth and nose, making a silencing gesture to him. Xiao Fu nodded, tightly grasping the paper crane in his hand.
Wen Baiyu told everyone to turn off their flashlights. The crowd crouched behind the altar, and those who could hold guns held them at the ready, taking aim.
"Heh heh..."
"Heh heh...... Heh heh......"
The sound was like the croaking of frogs, getting closer and closer, surging from afar, then came the "rustling" sound, in the dark tomb passage, there were faint shadows darting around.
Everyone hid their bodies behind the ritual vessels because there were so many offerings in the tomb that they completely covered everyone, and no one could be seen.
Those zongzi rushed over from behind, stopped for a moment at the entrance of the tomb, and then several zongzi walked in, stretched out their withered hands, and "thumped" against a bronze pot, which rolled to Xiao Fu's feet.
Xiao Fu closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling violently with fear, and grasped the Emperor of Hell's hand that covered his own, but didn't dare make a sound, his face reddening from holding his breath.
The Emperor of Hell saw how scared he was, but there was no other way.
A-Quan was so scared that he almost fainted, but this guy is timid and doesn't have as many ideas as Old Master Huang, so he's more obedient and less likely to get himself killed.
The corpses walked in, circled around and then crawled out of the tomb one after another, rushing towards the front of the grave path.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, but no one dared to relax. After waiting for about two minutes, the "heh heh" sounds could no longer be heard, and everyone let out another sigh of relief.
A Quan suddenly fell to the ground, scared stiff all over.
Xiao Fu panted heavily, and Ming Emperor pinched his cheek, laughing: "Is Xiao Fu so brave?"
Xiao Fu was a bit shy, his face had already turned very red, his eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes. In the pitch-black tomb, Xiao Fu's eyes were shining brightly, a sheet of inky blackness that made one's heart skip a beat.
The Dark Emperor was taken aback for a moment, and then furrowed his brow slightly.
"Heh heh!"
Suddenly hearing a shout from Zongzi, Wen Baiyu's heart tightened and said, "It's bad, Zongzi has turned back."
They were talking when a batch of zongzi suddenly poured in from outside the tomb, and for some reason they went back and forth.
Wen Baiyu said: "Are these zongzi so cunning?"
He said, Wan Qi Jinghou had already turned on the flashlight, and everyone else also turned on their flashlights. The sudden burst of light made the dumplings somewhat fearful, and they retreated several steps in a flurry.
Wan Qi Jinghou loaded the gun, "bang bang" several shots in a row, all hit the target. Several dumplings were hit by the gun and fell to the ground with a thud, struggled for a few moments, and then quickly got up from the ground again.
"Ah Quan shouted: 'Why doesn't it work?!'"
Gan Zhu put down his gun and took out his own copper ladle, saying: "These zongzi are too old, the bullets aren't silver either, can't control them."
The King of Hell carried Xiaofu on his back and said, "Hold tight, close your eyes and don't look."
Wan Kuang Jing Hou also threw down his spear, drew out the dragon-scale dagger from its sheath, suddenly sprang up, and stepped on a dumpling's back as if using it as a springboard. With another leap, he kicked with both legs, and there was a "crack" sound. The dumpling's head instantly tilted to one side. Wan Kuang Jing Hou exerted some force, and the dumpling flew out with a loud "thud", knocking down a row of dumplings.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou opens the road and says: "Go!"
Mingdi was the first to rush out with Xiao Fu on his back, Ah Quan had already fallen to the ground and couldn't get up. Gan Zhuo and Hun Dun each took one side of Ah Quan and also rushed out.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou grabbed Wen Bai Yu's hand and said, "Let's go quickly."
Wen Baiyu said: "Let's go together."
The two men rushed out of the tomb, with the zongzi behind them being smashed to pieces. However, they quickly got up from the ground and continued to let out angry roars, chasing after them from behind.
They kept running forward, and a tomb gate appeared in the passageway. The bronze gate had a sheep's head on it, and the tomb gate was closed, with no signs of being opened before.
Wen Baiyu found it strange that he didn't know where Huang Laoban had gone, if he kept running forward, he would definitely meet this tomb gate. How did Huang Laoban get in without opening the door? Moreover, such a heavy door, one person can't open it at all. Not entering but not seeing anyone, this is strange indeed.
Gan Zhu and Hun Dun were blocked by something in front of them, so they threw Ah Quan down and went forward to open the door. The bronze gate was not locked but closed, with a slide rail at the bottom. Although it was heavy, it was still manageable for Hun Dun and Gan Zhu.
Two people joined forces to push open the bronze gate and hurriedly let everyone in. Hun Dun shouted: "Close the door, close the door! Close it quickly!"
He was speaking, those dumplings had already pounced over, Wan Qi Jinghou raised his gun, although the bullets were not very effective against these dumplings, but at least they could block for a while, and immediately fired several shots.
However, there were too many zongzi, and they suddenly rushed over. The door was still half open, but a strange thing happened. Those zongzi had already climbed to the edge of the door, but they didn't dare to go in. Instead, they made "heh heh" sounds outside the door, crawling back and forth.
As soon as he saw him, he let out a sigh of relief and said: "Saved?! What's going on? Why didn't they come in?"
Gan Zhu and Hun Dun slammed shut the bronze gate with a loud "clang". Wan Qi Jing Hou turned his head to look around, saying: "Those zongzi should be slaves buried with their masters. There are many places where slaves cannot enter."
As soon as he said that, everyone began to look around, and the eyes carved all around were even more furious and venomous than before. If they were still uncertain about the emotions of these eyes earlier, now everyone was absolutely certain. Being stared at by so many angry eyes made them feel like they were being cursed.
Everyone got goosebumps.
The crowd continued walking for a while, because they had just escaped with their lives, Ah Quan was really unable to walk anymore, and Xiao Fu was also somewhat exhausted, so everyone decided to sit down and rest for a while.
"Where's Old Huang? Didn't he run ahead? How come nobody found him? Could it be... could it be that he was eaten by the zongzi just now?!"
A'quan finished speaking, and everyone was trembling with fear, Xiao Fu was also startled by him.
Everyone sat together and rested. The tomb was built in the mountains, from the outside it looked like there was only one cave, but inside there were other caves, and no one knew how far they had to go before seeing the main burial chamber.
Moreover, this tomb is getting stranger and stranger. The eyes are angry eyes, and there is a sheep totem on the gate of the tomb, which is not quite the same as the beliefs of the ancient Shu people.
Everyone rested for ten minutes and then stood up to continue walking forward. Soon they saw a tomb.
It was another room for storing offerings, but it was somehow different. Wen Baihe made a sound of surprise and found a headless bronze man in the corner of the wall. The bronze man was kneeling, and from the angle of his neck, he seemed to be slightly bowing his head.
The bronze man has a clear cut on his neck, and it is beheaded, not headless.
Wen Baiyu held the bronze man and pondered for a moment, frowning and saying: "You guys take a look at this."
The crowd gathered around, and Hun Dun said: "Is this pose for kneeling?"
Wen Baiyu shook his head and said: "Look at the scratches on its neck, are they similar to the bronze mask from just now?"
As soon as he said that, everyone remembered. Wan Qi Jing Hou said that under the bronze mask there should be another section. Now it seems that this kneeling and worshiping bronze man is likely to be the lower section.
But why should it be done in this posture?
Wen Bai furrowed his brow and said, "The bronze mask with a vertical pupil is obviously an image of a silkworm cocoon. Who would make a funeral object that makes the silkworm kneel? These bronzes have the same angry emotions as the eyes we saw earlier."
As soon as he said that, everyone felt it too. The kneeling posture was very humble. If it was a kneeling worship, they should have felt pious. Moreover, the bronze mask had a silkworm pattern, and the silkworm was the first king of ancient Shu. Even if it were later generations, they couldn't let the silkworm kneel on the ground.
Hun Dun "crunch crunch" gnawing on melon seeds, said: "So this grave is very strange, it's obviously a silkworm cocoon tomb, but the things inside turned into resentful emotions?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "And then there are the totems of those sheep... According to ancient books, before Can Cong led his people to migrate and settle in Chengdu, there were many tribes in Chengdu who did not attach importance to farming and made a living by hunting. Sheep were their totem."
He paused, then continued: "After the Can Cong tribe entered Chengdu and merged with many other tribes, wars and disputes were inevitable. In the end, they became the first king of ancient Shu, starting to promote agriculture, developing agriculture, and letting the ancient Shu people change from worshipping sheep to worshipping eyes, phoenixes and the sun."
Hun Dun ate a few melon seeds and started rubbing peanuts, saying: "Oh, I get it. The ancient totemic beliefs are like religions. If people believe in sheep, they can't be forced to believe in something else. Maybe that's what anger is."
Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and said: "But this is also a speculation, the result still needs to find the stone coffin of the silkworm cocoon to make a final judgment."
They were talking when the Emperor of the Underworld suddenly spoke up and said: "Where is Little Fu?"
He spoke, and everyone was stunned. They quickly searched around in a circle. Xiaofu's body was small, so if he was blocked by the altar, it was possible that no one could see him. However, after searching for a while and calling out to Xiaofu again, there was no way Xiaofu wouldn't respond.
Xiao Fu suddenly disappeared right under their noses.
Wen Baiyu said: "There must be a mechanism in the tomb."
Everyone quickly dispersed to look for the mechanism, but after searching for half a day, they still couldn't find it.
Just then, a shrill cry for help rang out "Save me... save me..."
With the shouting, there was also a noisy electric current sound, "Zzzt... zzzt...", just like a ghost disturbance.
A Quan heard a voice coming from behind him and was so frightened that he fell to the ground. A Quan quickly turned his head, but there was nothing behind him.
However, the sound did not disappear, "Zzz... zzz...". The electric current sound was intermittent, mixed with a man's cry for help "Save me... zzz... save... ah ah ah..."
A Quan was so frightened that he trembled with fear. The voice sounded again behind him, it must be a ghost.
A Quan was trembling with fear, but he never got up from the ground. Suddenly, a "thud" sound came, and something fell beside A Quan's feet. He looked down and saw that thing still emitting "zzt... zzt..." electrical sounds, very noisy, intermittently shouting "Help! Who can save me? Zzt... Is anyone there?"
Wen Baiyu immediately squatted down to pick it up, and it turned out to be a walkie-talkie.
A Quan wiped the sweat from his face and said: "Scared... scared me to death... I forgot there was a walkie-talkie."
He said, and the walkie-talkie came again with loud shouts and chaotic background sounds. The cry for help was actually from Old Master Huang.
Huang's boss was panting heavily, seemingly running desperately while shouting: "Help! Is anyone... can anyone hear me? Save me!!"
"Wen Baiyu said: "Where are you? What happened?"
Old Huang's side suddenly heard someone, and the walkie-talkie immediately transmitted a heart-wrenching cry for help: "I don't know where I am... Ahhh... Where am I!! Hurry up and save me... There are ghosts!! Really... there are ghosts! Mummies... so many mummies chasing us!"
As he spoke, Wen Baiyu suddenly heard Xiaofu's voice coming from the intercom.
The Dark Emperor's nerves tightened immediately, saying: "Is there someone else by your side?!"
"Huang's boss shouted in a panicked voice: "Someone! Someone!! Rustling... rustling... Xiaofu is also here! We don't know where we are... There are so many mummies... chasing me..."
"Whoosh..."
Everyone then heard a burst of electric current sound, followed by a loud "bang" sound, and the walkie-talkie immediately fell silent.
Wen Baiyu shouted twice, but there was no reaction from the other side, and even the sound of electricity disappeared.
The white feathered arrow was swift and fierce, Wan Zong Jing Hou suddenly said: "The mechanism has been found."
Everyone lowered their heads to look and saw that on the ground there was a bronze statue of a kneeling person, also with vertical pupils, but it couldn't be picked up, as if nailed to the ground.
Wan Qi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and tried to press down on the target's eyes, with just a little force, it would definitely be pressed down.
"Crack!"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand and pressed down, a gust of cool wind blew over, quietly and soundlessly. The tomb wall beside him suddenly flipped over, Ah Quan was leaning against the tomb wall catching his breath, and was brought along by the tomb wall. In an instant, he had flipped to the other side of the tomb wall. The entire tomb wall flipped over quietly and soundlessly. Ah Quan immediately disappeared, without even having time to shout.
Everyone quickly moved closer to the tomb wall, and Wan Qi Jing Hou pressed the mechanism again. "Whoosh!" The mechanism's force was particularly strong, and with one push, everyone was swept into the tomb wall and flipped over.
"Bang!" He fell to the ground with a thud.
Behind the tomb wall was another passage, black and bottomless, and everyone turned on their flashlights.
They had only been watching the bronze statue for a short while when Xiaofu suddenly triggered a mechanism and was taken to the other end of the tomb wall. In theory, according to Xiaofu's physical strength, he shouldn't have been able to run far.
Everyone went forward to search and found bloodstains on the ground. Ah Chuan shouted: "Blood!"
The blood on the ground was still fresh, and it was unclear whether it belonged to Xiaofu or Huang Laoban. However, since the two were together, everyone quickly chased after them, following the trail of blood, and soon they saw scattered backpacks on the ground, with all the food inside trampled and crushed.
The backpack's zipper was not open, but it had been torn apart from the side. It looked like it had been attacked. In the food debris, they also found a crushed walkie-talkie.
The trail of blood stopped here, and the crowd looked around in a circle. In front of them was a tomb, they walked in, and inside the tomb were countless crystal-like corpses, all that remained were skeletons.
What was most astonishing was that in the tomb, apart from the scattered skeletons, there was a patch of black feathers on the ground, exactly the same as the ones Wen Baiyu had received earlier!
Wen Baiyu looked at the tomb in shock, and suddenly Wan Qi Jinghou said: "There is a bloody smell."
He said, quickly bypassing those corpses, and indeed saw Xiaofu curled up in the corner.
When Wan Qi Jing Hou spoke, everyone gathered around. Xiao Fu was extremely embarrassed. His hands were covered in blood, and although he had wiped them clean, the bloodstains still stuck to his skin. There were wounds on his arms that were still bleeding, which he had simply bandaged up.
Xiao Fu leaned against the wall, hiding behind the corpses, next to him was Huang Lao Ban who had already fainted. The wounds on Huang Lao Ban's body had been simply treated, he lay on his side on the ground, with a pair of bloodshot eyes on his back...
Wan Qi Jing Hou squatted down and pressed Huang Lao Ban's neck, saying: "There is still a pulse."
Xiao Fu was curled up in the corner, with bloodstains on his face and chin. Mingdi's heart tightened when he saw him, took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to pick Xiao Fu out of the pile of bones, but Xiao Fu kept shaking his head and waving his hands.
Xiao Fu kept his eyes tightly closed, never opening them from start to finish, and said: "Don't... don't bother me, just now there were many glowing corpses, don't touch the corpse, or you'll have... bloodshot eyes."
The Emperor of Hell thought Xiaofu was scared and said: "Xiaofu come quickly, Uncle will take a look at your wound, it's nothing serious."
Xiao Fu shook his head and said: "I... I'm done for... you guys go ahead..."
Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately reached out to grab Xiao Fu's arm. Xiao Fu let out a pained "Ah—" but Wen Baiyu's movements were extremely forceful, and with one pull, she dragged Xiao Fu over.
Everyone took a deep breath with a "hiss", Xiao Fu's back clothes were torn, and on his pale back, there was also a pair of bloodshot eyes.
At first glance, it was indeed an eye injury, but in fact, it was similar to a scald. The wound was constantly bleeding and the color had turned black, as if poisoned by corpse toxin.
Xiao Fu's whole body was shaking, seemingly in great pain, his lips were bitten and looked very pitiful.
Wen Baiyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly took out the phoenix bone dagger and made a small cut on his palm. He let a few drops of blood fall onto Xiao Fu's back, and also dripped a few drops onto Huang Laoban's back.
The eyes on the backs of the two people immediately shrank rapidly, and the dark black blood also turned bright red.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou saw that Wen Bai Yu's hand was still bleeding non-stop, so he reached out and grabbed his hand, putting it to his mouth and gently licking his wound. Wen Bai Yu let out a soft "hiss" and said, "Gently."
"Does it hurt?"
Wen Baiyu nodded slightly.
Ming Emperor saw that Xiao Fu's wound had clearly shrunk, and immediately flipped out the Book of Life and Death on his body. Xiao Fu's lifespan had been significantly extended due to a small amount of Phoenix blood.
Mingdi looked at Wen Baiyu and said: "Wen Baiyu, altering Heaven's decree will incur heavenly punishment."
Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "I haven't changed for the better, your unorthodox Book of Life and Death has been altered several times already."
Ming Emperor had no choice, but Xiao Fu's injury suddenly took a turn for the better, and he felt a little more at ease. He looked at Xiao Fu who still didn't open his eyes and said: "Xiao Fu, are your eyes injured? Open them and let me take a look."
Xiao Fu shook his head firmly and said, "I can't open my eyes."
Wen Baiyu's wound on his hand had slowly healed, the phoenix blood could live forever and even revive the dead, a small amount of phoenix blood could also detoxify, but Wen Baiyu's wound was not easy to heal, however, these were not difficult for Wan Qi Jing Hou.
The special physique of Zhu Long is just complementary to Wen Bai Yu.
Wen Baiyu's palm had stopped bleeding, and he turned to Xiao Fu and asked, "What did you see again?"
Xiao Fu shook his head and said: "I didn't see anything, it's just... I feel like, as soon as I open my eyes, there's a feeling of being watched..."
"Surveillance?"
This remark left everyone somewhat perplexed, and Ming Emperor's face sank.
"What's going on here?" said Wen Baiyu.
The Emperor of the Underworld said, "To be honest, I'm not quite clear either. However, the Ghost Eye has always been a sacred object in the Underworld, and it's been stored there for several thousand years without any issues. Recently, the Ghost Eye suddenly disappeared. Whoever has the ability to steal a sacred object from the Underworld must not be simple."
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "However, the ghost eye appeared on a child."
The Emperor of the Underworld nodded and said, "When the ghost messenger reported back, I didn't believe it either. How could a child possibly steal the Ghost Eye? Now that I think about it, I feel that someone with ulterior motives stole the Ghost Eye and put it on Xiao Fu's body. If Xiao Fu can see things, I think that person should also be able to see them."
"Wen Baiyu said: 'Is this surveillance? Then what is his purpose?'"
Ming Emperor said: "It should be something in the silkworm stone coffin. That person may have known long ago that Xiaofu would fall together."
He stopped talking at this point and it was inconvenient for others to ask what was inside the stone coffin.
Wen Baiyu said: "If the stone coffin is found, then it means that the person who stole the Ghost Eye has found what he was looking for. If the stone coffin is not found, according to you, there's no way to take out the Ghost Eye from inside without the things in the stone coffin. What do you plan to do now?"
The Emperor of the Underworld thought for a moment and said, "The thing in the stone coffin is very important. The purpose of my trip this time is to take the thing in the stone coffin. Although the Ghost Eye is extraordinary, it can only see life and death. I must bring the thing in the stone coffin away."
Everyone fell silent for a moment, how could they get the things out of the stone coffin without being discovered by the ghostly eyes?
Xiao Fu had been silent all along, but at this moment he suddenly opened his eyes and said timidly: "I... I have a way..."
The Lord of the Underworld was just worrying, hearing him say that, smiled and pinched Xiao Fu's nose, saying: "What can you do?"
Xiao Fu shook his head and said: "If I say it out loud, it won't work, but I really have a way to make sure that person doesn't find out."
He said, a pair of pitch-black eyes staring straight at Ming Emperor, seemingly very determined.
Ming Emperor was slightly stunned and smiled: "Since Xiaofu said there's a way, then there really is a way."
Xiao Fu smiled slightly, looking a bit embarrassed, and scratched his hair, saying: "Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible for that person to find out, but I can only say that at the end."
Everyone doesn't know what Xiaofu is selling.
At this time, Ah Quan shouted: "Hey, Old Master Huang woke up!"
This yellow boss is also lucky and dragged down Xiaofu's good fortune to get some phoenix blood, and actually managed to save his life.
Huang boss got up from the ground with "aiyo aiyo" in his mouth and said: "I... am I dead? My Ming dynasty vase hasn't been taken yet!"
He said, looking at the pair of ice crystal bones in front of him, and was frightened to exclaim "Ah!", his face turned pale, saying: "These... these jade... why are they made into skull shapes?"
Wen Baiyu sneered and said, "I told you it wasn't jade earlier. These are the original forms of bones. The tomb chamber we were in earlier was obviously built with crushed bones."
Huang boss was scared half to death and retreated backwards with a quiver.
The Emperor Ming stood up and said: "Don't waste any more time, settle it early and get out early. Xiao Fu's body still has injuries, and delaying for a long time is not good."
He said, stretching out his hand to pick up Xiaofu, wanting to carry Xiaofu on his back. Xiaofu shook her head and said: "I can walk by myself."
The Dark Emperor said, "You're not heavy, and you're injured, so just let me carry you honestly."
Xiao Fu had no choice, Ming Emperor carried him on his back, and everyone prepared to head inside to find the main tomb chamber.
Wen Baiyu walked while asking Xiao Fu, "What did you encounter just now?"
Xiao Fu recalled, trembling a bit, "So many desiccated corpses... but they're different from the ones I saw before... this time, the desiccated corpses are glowing..."
Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Will it glow?"
Xiao Fu nodded and said: "The dry corpse will emit a pale blue light, the exposed bones, and...and those just now are very similar."
Wen Baiyu suddenly thought of the guide on Mount Kunlun, whose head was eaten away but could still move, and whose bones had also transformed into ice crystals. The dry corpses that Xiao Fu encountered were probably in a similar state.
They walked all the way in, but didn't encounter any glowing mummies as Xiaofu had said. Huang Laoban was scared and injured, and his weight made it impossible for anyone to carry him. No one wanted to be carried by him either. So Huang Laoban asked Quan to support him as they walked further in.
This time Old Huang has learned his lesson, following at the back and not daring to move forward, letting Wen Baiyu and the others take the lead.
"Look."
Gan Zhu said, and everyone looked up to the front. They saw a huge sheep's head appearing in front of them, all made of bones, which was the tomb gate. A tomb chamber unfolded before their eyes.
"Looks like this is the main chamber?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "It should be, go in and take a look."
He said, Xiao Fu suddenly let out a soft "ah" and Ming Emperor turned his head and asked: "What's wrong?"
Wen Baiyu suddenly saw Xiao Fu lightly shouting, then suddenly looked at his own hand, somewhat panicked, and stretched out his hand to wipe his face and eyes. The action seemed to be wiping away something that was flowing down from his eyes and face.
But everyone saw very clearly that there was nothing on Xiaofu's hands or face.
Xiao Fu hastily wiped it twice, and Ming Emperor asked again: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Fu took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "No... nothing..."
The Lord of the Underworld frowned and said, "Cheating is not a good thing for children."
Xiao Fu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said: "Really... nothing's wrong..."
Wen Baiyu thought that Xiao Fu must have seen something again, but he didn't want to say it out loud. However, Xiao Fu was a very stubborn person. Although he usually seemed gentle and cute, when he didn't want to talk about something, he absolutely wouldn't open his mouth, even if you beat him to death.
Everyone had no choice but to enter the main tomb chamber.
A huge sheep head tomb gate was piled up with white bones, and the shape of the sheep head was also a skull, which looked eerie. The bones between them were stuck together very well, as if they had been coated with something.
"Huang boss sighed and looked at the sheep's head, saying: "Oh my, so many animal bones are spliced together, it's so big and intact. If I could take it down and bring it out, I'm sure I could sell it for a high price."
Wan Xi Jing Hou sneered and pointed at a bone above, saying: "This is obviously a human humerus."
He said, Old Huang let out a sharp cry of "Ah!", saying: "A person!?"
Everyone ignored him and entered the tomb.
The chamber wasn't particularly large, with a stone coffin in the center and countless ice crystal corpses piled up all around, leaving barely enough space to stand. The ice crystal corpses surrounded the coffin, too numerous to count, just like the previous chamber. In addition to the ice crystal corpses, there were also black feathers scattered all over the ground。
Everyone didn't expect the main tomb chamber to be so messy, seemingly all a bit surprised.
Although Huang was afraid, he saw the stone coffin and said: "It must be the stone coffin of the silkworm cocoon!"
He said and strode over those skeletons.
The stone coffin was closed, but it wasn't sealed tightly, and there was still a seam between the lid and the body of the coffin. Inside, everything was dark and nothing could be seen clearly.
Wen Baiyu frowned and said: "Has it been opened by someone?"
"What!? Has it been opened by someone? Have the things inside been stolen?"
He said, calling out to Ah Quan: "Let's lift up this board and take a look!"
A Quan was somewhat afraid and didn't dare go knock on the coffin.
Huang boss scolded and said: "You this good-for-nothing, if I find something valuable later, I won't give it to you."
He was about to push the lid, but Gan Zhu pushed him away. Huang Laoban glared at Gan Zhu, but Gan Zhu was tall and imposing, with a cold face, and Huang Laoban felt he couldn't win a fight against him.
Wan Qi Jing Hou walked around the stone coffin, then took out a probe and inserted it into the dark gap, gently poking around for a few moments before shaking his head and saying: "The stone coffin has been opened, the yin and yang energies have long since dissipated, and the corpse inside has already decayed."
He said, letting everyone back away a bit, "The lid is open and there's a corpse inside."
Everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses. With a burst of strength from Wan Zongjing's hands, the sound of "clang" was heard, and the lid of the stone coffin was pushed down by him.
As soon as the coffin was opened, a burst of black air rose up, and Huang Lao's initial skepticism turned into violent coughing. Fortunately, the black air wasn't lethal, but it scared Huang Lao so much that his face turned pale.
After the black air dispersed, the things in the stone coffin were clearly placed in front of everyone.
Because the stone coffin was opened, the corpse inside had rotted to an unrecognizable state. Although there were burial objects, they stuck together with the rotten bones and looked terrifying.
Huang boss saw those bronze wares lying in the coffin, already corroded and blackened, suddenly clutched his chest and stamped his feet, saying: "How can this coffin be like this? Didn't they say that the mulberry coffin would not rot for a thousand years, how could it become like this?"
Wen Baiyu looked at the body in the coffin and shook his head, saying: "I think our previous guess was correct. This is not the tomb of Can Cong, but someone stole Can Cong's stone coffin. No descendant would treat their ancestor's remains like this."
Hun Dun himself wanted to crack melon seeds, but Gan Zhu looked at him and Hun Dun clicked his tongue, not cracking melon seeds in front of the rotting corpse, saying: "What a great grudge?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at the chaotic coffin and said, "Besides resentment, there's something else. You see the coffin, the things inside are turned upside down, perhaps someone was looking for something."
As soon as he spoke, everyone remembered that the Emperor of the Underworld said that something was in the stone coffin of the silkworm cocoon, and it was a secret of the underworld, but they didn't know what it was. Such precious things might really be sought after by someone.
Mr. Huang had lost interest in the rotten stone coffin and was searching for offerings on the side, in addition to the coffins and skeletons in the tomb chamber, there were also several intact bronze artifacts piled up, Mr. Huang took a few of them, fondling them lovingly, suddenly his sharp eyes spotted a slightly larger bronze offering vessel.
Huang boss immediately ran over, stretched out his hand to touch the ritual vessel, and suddenly heard a "squeak... squeak..." sound coming from behind the ritual vessel. Huang boss was startled and let out a loud cry of "Ah!"
Everyone turned around, and they saw Old Man Huang standing in the corner of the tomb, a huge spider suddenly crawling out from behind the sacrificial vessel, its claws grasping Old Man Huang's face, followed by a "crack" sound, and Old Man Huang let out a loud "ahh" from his throat before falling to the ground.
A huge spider was still crouching on Huang's face, with a pair of flower-like patterns resembling eyes on its back. Huang fell down like a mountain, and the spider kept rubbing its front legs on Huang's face, making a "squeaking" sound. Suddenly, a big hole was opened in Huang's skull, and soon his fat body shriveled up quickly.
The scene was too terrifying, Ah Quan had seen it once before, and the second time he saw it, he almost fainted, shouting loudly. Xiao Fu was seeing this scene for the first time, his face turned pale with fear, his eyes wide open, his whole body trembling, his hands and feet suddenly turning cold.
The Emperor of Hell covered Xiao Fu's eyes and said, "Don't look."
The giant spider instantly sucked up Old Huang, seemingly discovering the crowd, and began to rub its two front legs together, making a "squeaking" sound, as if searching for its next prey.
A spider suddenly pounced, and Wang Jinghou loaded his gun. With a "bang", one of the spider's long legs flew out, hitting the ground with a "thud". A stream of green foul-smelling liquid flowed from the leg, burning a hole in the floorboards.
The spider was missing a leg and struggled on the ground. Wan Qi Jinghou fired several more shots, all of which hit the spider's legs.
"Rustle..."
The spider let out a loud shriek, its cry was extremely mournful. Meng looked at the spider and saw that it had suddenly lost its legs, struggling on the ground. He patted Wang Jinghou's shoulder and said: "You're too cruel, why not just hit him in the stomach?"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou looked at him and said: "The spider's shell is too thick, it may not be useful even if we hit it."
Chaos: “……”
The spider struggled on the ground for a few times, flowed out a lot of green water, and stopped moving after a while.
Huang Laoban is already dead and can't be saved, Wen Baiyu couldn't help but want to shake his head. Indeed, good words cannot save a doomed ghost. The eyes on his back had almost been cured by Wen Baiyu's Phoenix Blood, yet he was still sucked dry by the spider into a mummy.
A Quan was so frightened that he couldn't stay for a moment and shouted to get out of the tomb.
Wen Baiyu didn't want to stay here either, and said to Mingdi: "What's in the coffin anyway? Let's take it and go."
The Emperor of the Underworld walked over, looked at the rotting lump in the coffin and said: "In a while I'll take something, I reckon the person who stole the ghost eye will appear. Anyway, let's all be careful."
He said, using a probe to stir up the things inside the coffin. Wen Baiyu said: "This has been turned upside down by someone long ago, are you sure there's still something?"
The Emperor of the Underworld nodded and said: "Don't worry, it's absolutely there..."
He said, using a probe to pry open the skeleton, and then constantly tapping on the edge of the stone coffin, as if listening for some sound.
Xiao Fu watched them searching for something in the coffin, while he himself reached into his pocket and pulled out a paper crane. Xiao Fu gently stroked the head of the paper crane, which remained silent and still, unable to nod or grow wings, looking like an ordinary object.
Xiao Fu took a deep breath, suddenly glanced around and rummaged through the backpack placed on one side, then pulled out a military knife.
Xiao Fu's hand was trembling, one hand grasping a military sword, and the other pinching a paper crane.
"Bang... Bang bang..."
The stone coffin was struck, making a sound, and suddenly heard the "empty" sound. The knocking sound of this place is obviously different from other places. Wen Baiyu's eyes widened and said: "Is there a hidden layer in the stone coffin?"
The Dark Emperor smiled and said, "If there wasn't a hidden layer, wouldn't it have been snatched away by someone long ago?"
He said, and then heard a "clatter" sound, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Everyone's back tightened, and they immediately turned their heads to look. They saw Xiaofu lying on the ground with a bloody face, and beside him was a blood-stained military knife.
Everyone's heart tightened, and they immediately rushed up. Xiaofu's eyes kept bleeding outward, with a long gash from his left eye to his right eye, and a bloodstain on the bridge of his nose, as if he had been slashed by a knife.
Ming Emperor rushed over and picked up Xiao Fu. Xiao Fu's eyes were wide open, with blood rolling out of his eyes, streaming down his cheeks.
Ming Emperor said: "Xiao Fu, what's wrong with you! What are you doing!"
Xiao Fu panted heavily, saying: "Although I don't understand what you're saying, I can also feel it... my eyes... aren't good things..."
The Lord of Underworld seemed to have come to his senses and said: "Is this your trick!?"
Xiao Fu nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and blood flowed down his cheeks in streams, unstoppable.
"His voice trembled as he said, 'I know these eyes aren't mine, but I also don't know how to return them to you... You said... that the things in the stone coffin are more important than the eyes, so I took it upon myself... Now that the eyes are ruined, will you be angry?'"
The Dark Emperor's whole body was trembling, and he didn't know whether it was from anger or anxiety. He suddenly let go of Xiaofu and rushed to the front of the stone coffin, stretching his hand into the coffin. With a slight effort, there was a "crack" sound, and the stone wall of the coffin was instantly crushed by the Dark Emperor, revealing a hidden compartment inside. Inside the compartment was a piece of skin wrapped around something.
The Dark Emperor stuffed things randomly into his own pocket, then turned around and rushed back, picking up Xiao Fu, saying: "Let's go, let's get out of here first!"
He said, Xiao Fu's arm suddenly drooped, and the paper crane in his hand fell to the ground with a "plop" sound, instantly staining it red.
Wen Baiyu reached out to grab Xiao Fu's hand and then pressed his neck, but there was no pulse. Xiao Fu's body quickly cooled down.
"Xiao Fu?!"
Wen Baiyu shouted, but Xiao Fu didn't react at all, his body was already icy cold.
At this moment, Ah Quan let out a loud "Ah!" and saw the tomb chamber start shaking violently, with stones falling from above, and then a large number of spiders crawled out from the corner of the tomb chamber.
A gigantic spider "hissed" and quickly crawled over, pouncing on it together.
Wan Zhi Jing Hou blocked the way at the back, and everyone ran out of the tomb. When everyone had run out, a huge flame suddenly burst forth from Wan Zhi Jing Hou's palm and struck the inside of the tomb.
"With a 'whoosh', a massive flame erupted, and the spiders in the tomb let out a high-pitched scream, struggling in the sea of fire. Soon, there was a loud sizzling sound, as if they had been charred, emitting a foul and pungent smell."
Everyone kept running forward, the tomb chamber behind them shook violently, as if it was about to collapse, and the fierce fire, although blocking the spiders, made the tomb chamber even more unstable.
"Bang!" A loud noise, a huge boulder suddenly fell from the top of their heads. Wen Baiyu shouted "Be careful!", and Mingdi, who was running behind, hugged Xiao Fu into his arms and immediately pounced forward, rolling on the ground.
A huge rock fell down and blocked the road behind him.
In front of them was a stone wall, and Ah Quan trembled as he said: "There's no way out! The back is also blocked! What... what are we going to do?"
The Lord of the Underworld was somewhat impatient, and suddenly stretched out his hand, striking Ah Quan's neck with a single blow.
A'quan let out an "ah" and suddenly fainted to the ground.
"What are you doing?"
The Emperor of the Underworld said: "I don't have such great patience anymore. Since he is the only ordinary person here, it won't be considered a breach of rules if we don't do it in front of him."
He said, and suddenly Wan Kuang Jing Hou said: "Xiao Fu is not right."
Everyone lowered their heads and took a look. In the Emperor of the Underworld's arms, Xiao Fu's eyes seemed to have flowed out some black stuff, which looked like blood but was much darker in color.
And that black thing actually brought a strange fragrance, which suddenly rushed into my nose.
Wen Baiyu and others were all unprepared, Wan Xizong's face sank, saying: "Hold your breath."
But everyone else smelled that fragrance, Wen Baiyu only felt a dizziness in her head, and without even needing one second, she suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
Wen Bai's mind was dizzy, after his yuan ying and physical body returned to their original positions, he was almost not afraid of any poison, and among them, Gan Zhu was a medicine man, Gan Zhu's blood itself was a kind of antidote, so he was also not afraid of any poison.
But that fragrance was unexpectedly intense...
Wen Baiyu felt a gust of wind blowing and suddenly sat up, opening her eyes to see Wan Jiahui sitting beside her, with an extra layer of clothing covering her body.
Surroundings were not a tomb, but on the mountain, the sky was very dark, lit a bonfire, Wen Baiyu sat up and took a look, somewhat familiar, it turned out to be that big stone they passed before entering the tomb.
He sat up, and Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand to support him, saying: "Awake?"
Wen Baiyu said strangely: "What's going on with us?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "I'm not clear either. At that time, I lost consciousness with you all, and when I woke up, I was already here."
Wen Baiyu looked around in the brightness of the bonfire and found that except for Huang Laoban, who had been sucked dry, not a single person was missing. Mingdi and Gan Zhu were also awake, sitting beside the fire heap.
Wen Baiyu looked at Hun Dun and said, "How is he?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing."
Wen Baiyu went to see Xiao Fu again, and her heart tightened suddenly. When Xiao Fu was in the grave, his whole body had already turned icy cold. However, when Wen Baiyu looked over, she discovered that Xiao Fu's fingers moved slightly.
Wen Baiyu was shocked and thought it was a zombie, after all, previously Xiao Fu's eyes suddenly flowed out a stream of black blood, accompanied by a strange fragrance, they were all unprepared and fell into the trap at once.
Xiao Fu made a low humming noise in his throat and surprisingly woke up.
Wen Baiyu was slightly surprised. Wan Jingshou said: "Just now when I woke up, I checked everyone, and Xiaofu's body is warm."
"Someone saved us?" White Feather Fox asked doubtfully.
Ming Emperor supported Xiao Fu to sit up and smiled, saying: "There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world."
He said, patting his pocket, "The things taken out of the stone coffin are gone. It seems that when we fainted, they were taken away."
Xiao Fu woke up, still a bit dizzy. Mingdi supported him. Xiao Fu opened his eyes and looked around, but everything in front of him was dark, and he couldn't see anything.
Wen Baiyu found that Xiao Fu's eyes had turned into a deep brown color and had returned to normal, not that inky black color.
Wen Baiyu said: "Ghost Eye is gone?"
"It seems we've fallen into a trap after all."
He said, taking out a black feather and handing it to Wen Baiyu: "This was tied to Xiaofu's body."
Wen Baiyu looked at the feathers, furrowed his brow, and the whole thing seemed to be a trap. The owner of the feathers had taken away the ghost eye first, he knew that Xiao Fu would follow everyone down to the silkworm tomb, and put the ghost eye on Xiao Fu's body. Apart from being able to see the predicted life and death, the ghost eye was just like what Xiao Fu said, a kind of surveillance...
The purpose is to snatch this thing away when they find what's in the stone coffin.
Wen Baiyu was somewhat puzzled, what exactly was inside the stone coffin? Moreover, the master of the black feathers had even helped them out, bringing them out from the tomb. Xiao Fu's body had already turned cold earlier, yet this person could revive him.
Xiao Fu's eyes returned to normal, but everything was pitch black. He reached out and grabbed at the air, and Ming Di quickly placed his hand in Xiao Fu's, saying: "Xiao Fu, what's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
Xiao Fu shook his head, his voice a little soft, saying: "I... I can't see anymore...... but I think I remembered something..."
Xiao Fu said he only remembered being kidnapped before, then Huang boss bought him back, and many things were already forgotten. At that time, Xiao Fu thought it was because he was too young before and didn't remember anything, and he really didn't want to think about the things that happened when he was a child.
But things aren't like that.
Xiao Fu was taken into isolation from birth and not allowed to see anyone. Xiao Fu's parents indeed wanted to cultivate his eyes, and by the age of ten, he could see things that ordinary people couldn't with their naked eye, which is what everyone calls unclean things.
It was very frightening for a child, Xiaofu was very scared at that time, but everyone kept asking him what he saw, what exactly did he see, it was too unbelievable.
After the age of ten, Xiaofu left the isolation room. Children start to have memories from the age of four or five, let alone a ten-year-old Xiaofu.
Because he had been in isolation since birth, Xiaofu's physical condition was very poor. Even a simple cold could be fatal to him. Just when Xiaofu's parents thought it was unbelievable, Xiaofu developed a fever.
It was just an ordinary fever, but because of poor physical quality, it evolved into a high fever, and Xiao Fu's eyes were burned.
Completely devoid of immunity, with bad eyesight to boot, and utterly useless, Xiaofu was somewhat reluctant to recall how he had been kidnapped, or perhaps abandoned.
Afterwards, Xiaofu's eyes miraculously recovered, perhaps it was those ghostly eyes that allowed him to see not only unclean things but also predict death.
Xiao Fu shook his head and said: "Since I could see things, I had almost forgotten many... Now that I can't see, I remember, it turns out I was blind long ago..."
Xiao Fu's voice was very soft, and everyone who heard it felt a little heartbroken. Anyway, the ghost eye has disappeared now, and Xiao Fu is back to life, which is indeed good news.
Chaos has awakened, and with a big smile, he pulled Xiao Fu into his arms from the Emperor of the Underworld's embrace. "Come, Xiao Fu," he said, "I'll tell you, there are things to enjoy even if your eyes can't see, like eating! I couldn't eat before, and that was the most painful thing."
He said, peeled an orange and stuffed it into Xiaofu's mouth, saying: "Delicious?"
Everyone's eyes widened in shock. Gan Zhu pulled Huan Yun back and said, "Your hands are so dirty, Xiao Fu is frail, you think you're like him?"
"Hun Dun hummed and said: 'What's wrong with me?'"
The Emperor of Hell quickly pulled Xiaofu back and said, "Xiaofu, hurry up and spit it out, or you'll get diarrhea later."
Xiao Fu was very obedient and really spat out the happy fruit. Angry, Hun Dun quietly went to crack melon seeds by himself.
The Emperor of the Underworld stroked Xiaofu's hair, smiling and saying: "This is right, can't just eat other people's things, Xiaofu is so cute, what if he gets kidnapped by a strange uncle?"
He said, pulling out a stick of candy from his pocket, peeling off the wrapper and placing it at Xiaofu's mouth.
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Look at his smiling face with a hint of slyness, who knows who is the weird uncle.
Xiao Fu's eyes couldn't see, first he puckered his lips, then stuck out his tongue and lightly licked it, only then did he put it in his mouth.
"Cough..."
The Dark Emperor coughed and said, "Sweet?"
Xiao Fu nodded and said, "Mm."
Wan Qi Jing Hou glanced at Ming Di with a faintly disdainful gaze.
The Dark Emperor coughed again.
Wen Baiyu said: "The things in the stone coffin are lost, what should we do?"
The Emperor of the Underworld shrugged and said, "What else can we do? Let's keep searching."
Wen Baiyu said: "Why don't I see you in a hurry?"
The Underworld Emperor said, "What can be done in a hurry? Moreover, the things in the stone coffin are actually only part of it. He only took one, which is useless. It must be assembled into a complete whole to be useful. If he wants the rest, he will have to appear again."
Ming Emperor said with a sigh of regret: "Alas, things have gone wrong. I originally thought that Xiaofu could come to accompany me, but now it's not worth it."
Xiao Fu didn't understand what it meant, but everyone else did. The Lord of the Underworld is the King of the Underworld, in charge of the underworld. After Xiao Fu died, he would naturally go to the underworld for reincarnation. If someone has great merit, they can also stay in the underworld and serve as a ghost officer.
The King of Hell was clearly using his golden abacus, wanting to keep Xiaofu in the underworld, but unexpectedly, Xiaofu actually came back to life.
The Emperor of the Underworld felt a pang of regret as soon as he thought about it.
Wan Qi Jing Hou looked at Ming Emperor with a faint gaze, and the contempt in his eyes increased, saying: "You're also several thousand years old, aren't you?"
The Emperor of the Underworld thought for a moment and said: "I don't remember exactly how many years it was."
Wan Xi Jing Hou said faintly: "Xiao Fu is only seventeen."
The Underworld Emperor: "......"
Everyone was chatting and resting while sitting down. Ah Quan had not woken up yet, so Ming Emperor spoke without intentionally hiding anything.
Xiao Fu was sucking on a lollipop and sitting quietly at one side when he suddenly let out an "ah".
Everyone was tense for a moment, thinking something had happened.
Xiao Fu's face fell slightly, and he patted himself down, saying: "The paper crane is gone."
Wen Baiyu let out a sigh and said, "Xiao Fu, those things that cheat kids, if they're lost, then they're lost."
The Emperor of Hell said: "What a load of nonsense."
He said, and then tore off two pages of the Book of Life and Death with a "ripping" sound, causing Wen Baiyu's eyelids to twitch.
Mingdi folded very neatly, this time folding a paper crane and also folding a peach heart.
Wen Baiyu saw Mingdi's strange uncle-like expression and put Táo Xīn in Xiao Fu's hand, her eyelids jumping wildly.
After Ah Quan woke up, Wen Baiyu and others found a parked car and drove to the nearest hospital for Xiaofu's examination.
Xiao Fu had a low-grade fever and was hospitalized for observation for several days due to poor physical condition.
When it was almost time to be discharged from the hospital, everyone bought plane tickets. Wen Baiyu wanted Xiaofu to return to Beijing with her, anyway, Huang Lao had passed away, and if Xiaofu lived with her, she would definitely not be bullied.
Wen Baiyu asked Xiao Fu if he was willing, and of course Xiao Fu was willing. He had always been very close to Wen Baiyu.
Wan Jie Jing Hou was very unwilling, his face looked bad, but he couldn't say anything. Xiaofu and Wen Baiyu were too close, as soon as Wen Baiyu came, Xiaofu would stick to him, Wan Jie Jing Hou had been ignored for many days. Although he knew that competing with an underage child was a very embarrassing thing, he also had no choice...
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at Xiao Fu and Wen Bai Yu chatting, suddenly stood up, walked out of the ward, then made a phone call, and sat back in less than half a minute.
Half an hour later, just after Wen Baiyu had agreed with Xiaofu to return to Beijing, a man wearing a flashy Western suit walked into the ward.
The Emperor of the Underworld was still holding a flower in his hand, Xiaofu's ears were very sharp, as soon as he heard the footsteps, he knew who it was, and immediately opened his eyes wide with excitement, although he couldn't see, he still looked towards the door of the ward and said: "Is Uncle Ming here?"
Ming Emperor smiled and immediately walked over, putting the flowers in Xiao Fu's arms, saying: "Xiao Fu, how is your body?"
Wen Bai's eyelid twitched as she asked Ming Emperor, "Is there anyone who has sent roses to the patient?"
The Emperor of the Underworld waved his hand and said: "Do not be particular about trivial matters."
Wen Baiyu said: "I think you have ulterior motives."
The Dark Emperor sat down and said: "Look at what you're saying, I'm also a person of status, I've never done such lowly things."
He said to Xiaofu, "Xiaofu, I heard you're going to be discharged from the hospital and go live with your uncle. How about that?"
Xiao Fu's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but immediately dimmed down. Wen Baiyu quickly said: "Nothing much, for Xiao Fu's personal safety, he has already agreed with me to return to Beijing earlier."
Ming Emperor said: "Going back to Beijing is great, I also live in Beijing, and the headquarters of my company is also in Beijing. It's just right for Little Fu to live with me."
He said to Wan Qi Jing Hou, "You're right, your house is so small and you have so many pets, what if they accidentally hurt Xiao Fu? Xiao Fu's body is weak and he's allergic to cat hair."
Wan Xi Jing Hou listened and nodded, saying simply: "Right."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu glanced at Wan Jingshou and it was clear that the other party had long been in cahoots with Mingdi. The two of them running into each other like this was simply too coincidental.
Xiao Fu was overjoyed when he heard that he could live with Ming Di, and didn't anticipate the "danger" that lay ahead.
Wen Baiyu had no choice, Xiao Fu was completely bought over by Mingdi with a few paper cranes. Wen Baiyu instructed Xiao Fu: "You must be careful, don't suffer losses, do you know? If anything happens, call me immediately."
Xiao Fu nodded seriously and said: "Don't worry, and Uncle Ming is a good person."
Wen Baiyu smiled and said, "He's not human at all."
The Underworld Emperor: “......”
The Emperor of the Underworld seems to think that Wen Baiyu's words are quite right, he is not a human, he is a ghost, and it cannot be denied that being a noble king of the underworld is also a ghost, but why does listening to Wen Baiyu's words make him feel like he is being scolded...
Everyone returned to Beijing, and when they got off the plane, someone had already opened a luxury car and was waiting at the airport.
The driver's seat was occupied by a man in a white suit, with an expressionless face that looked icy cold. The passenger seat had a man in a black suit, who didn't have such a cold expression and looked somewhat honest.
The man in a white suit got out of the driver's seat and opened the rear door, saying "Director Ming."
The Emperor of the Underworld smiled and said, "Xiao Fu, don't bump your head."
He said, supporting Xiaofu to sit in the car, and then he sat in too. The man in white suit closed the rear door and sat in the co-pilot seat.
Wen Baiyu's eyelid twitched as he watched Xiao Fu wave at him, the luxury car driving away. He sighed and said: "I suddenly regret letting Xiao Fu go with Mingdi, I should have held on a bit longer. Those two people just now..."
Xianyu Jinghou said faintly: "Thank you, Shi An, Fan Wu Xia."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baihe and they returned to the small restaurant, Yu Wei Yang was appendicitis, had been discharged for a long time, and had already moved freely. Tang Zi was watching the store in the restaurant, saw them coming back, and said: "Boss, your uncle called you on the phone several days ago, asking you to call back."
Wen Baiyu and they went to the lower Dou, deep mountains, old forests and tombs where mobile phones had no signal. Wen Baiyu's two uncles couldn't get through on the phone, so they could only call the small restaurant.
Wen Baiyu said "oh" and dialed the phone number.
The one who answered the phone was Wen Jiumu, and as soon as he picked up, he said: "Bai Yu!?"
"Wen Baiyu said: 'Huh? Little uncle, you called me? What's up?'"
Wen Jiu Mu's voice suddenly rose and said: "What else can you ask me? You yourself said what you did."
Wen Baiyu's back tightened, and her younger uncle's attitude was not quite right. Moreover, asking questions in this tone made it difficult for her to confess. What if she said too much, wouldn't that be bad?
Fortunately, Wen Jiu Mu quickly said: "Why did you suddenly fall out with him, and followed that surname Huang, his reputation on the road is extremely poor!"
Wen Baiyu suddenly understood that his two uncles were also from the countryside back in the day, and although they had been living in the city for many years, they still had connections and heard rumors. Huang Lao Ban must have gotten into a fight with them, and the news probably reached his two uncles' ears.
Wen Baiyu chuckled and said, "Uh... we're fine, we've already returned, and Wan Jingshou is following us, nothing's wrong."
Wen Jiu Mu said: "I've heard it all, Old Master Huang is dead, isn't he?"
Wen Baiyu felt bitter in her heart, and sure enough, her brother-in-law's news was accurate.
Wen Jiu Mu said: "Your uncle is very angry, anyway you just wait for him to educate you, buy a ticket in the next few days and come to Jinhua before next week."
"...... I know I was wrong, can't you just let it go? Uncle still wants to educate me in person!?"
Wen Jiu Mu laughed and said, "Are you scared this time? You stinky little brat, I'm telling you, your uncle doesn't know about this matter. I heard about it and kept it under wraps so he wouldn't find out. If he knew, he'd definitely beat you up, believe me?"
Wen Baiyu let out a breath and said: "So it was you, little uncle, who scared me."
Wen Jiu Mu said, "Just giving you a lesson, and the plane ticket still needs to be bought... Next week your uncle's birthday is coming up, come over and invite Wan Qi Jing Hou too."
Wen Baiyu smiled and said, "That's no problem."
Two people chatted for a while, Wen Baiyu hung up the phone and said to Wan Qi Jinghou: "My uncle said that next week we will go to Jinhua, my elder uncle's birthday is coming, and we need to celebrate together."
Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly smiled and said: "Then what should we buy as a birthday gift for our uncle?"
Wen Baiyu's face suddenly became a bit unnatural upon hearing this, and she said, "Who told you that?"
Wen Baiyu knew that although his two uncles had retired from the antique business for many years, they still loved antiques very much, so he asked Yu Wei Yang to pick a better one.
The Yu Wei Yang store happened to have it, and they gave him the lowest price. However, this lowest price also made Wen Baiyu's heart tremble with fear. Antiques were not something that a rough person like Wen Baiyu could collect.
Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou had just returned to Beijing when they bought tickets to prepare for their trip to Jinhua.
Wen Wei and Wen Jiu Mu came to pick them up together, while Wen Bai Yu was still a bit dizzy from the flight, and even more so from the car ride, she lay on Wan Qi Jing Hou's lap, half dead.
After arriving at the place, a servant came over to carry their luggage and then put both Wen Baiyu and Wan Qishou's luggage in Wen Baiyu's room.
Wen Baiyu took a look and suddenly his forehead jumped, saying: "Uh... where's his room?"
The servant said: "Young master, the old master said that Mr. Wan Qi would stay in your room, so there is no need to prepare a guest room."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Jiu Mu's complexion is still okay, looking no different from ordinary people, while Wen Qiang looks like his face color is not very good.
Wen Baiyu asked him what was wrong, Wen Jiumu said that Wen Lei had been having some bone pain these days, which was a wound left from the previous fight. The weather wasn't good and it would hurt.
Wen Baiyu and Wan Jinhou were staying in the same room that night. Wen Baiyu wrapped himself up like a rice dumpling and hid under the covers, peeking out to see Wan Jinhou come in from his bath, then quickly covering his head as well.
Wan Xi Jing Hou laughed and walked over, saying: "Want to suffocate?"
Wen Baiyu said in a huff under the quilt: "You sleep on the right side, I'll sleep on the left side. The bed is so big, don't crush me. Tomorrow is the birthday banquet, I don't want to go with a limp."
Wan Qi Jing Hou raised an eyebrow, lifted the quilt and dug out Wen Bai Yu from inside, saying: "How can that be, I can do it gently."
Wen Baiyu felt a chill run down his spine as he heard him speaking in his ear, Wan Qi Jinghou's physical strength was exceptionally good, and since becoming the Candle Dragon, that physical strength had become even more extraordinary. Every time, it was just a single use of his fingers, Wen Baiyu would climax and faint several times, this made Wen Baiyu's psychological trauma area even larger.
Wan Qi Jing Hou kissed Wen Bai Yu's lips, Wen Bai Yu felt a bit dizzy, smelling the wet vapor on Wan Qi Jing Hou's body that hadn't dried yet, it was like he had drunk wine, his head spinning, and involuntarily reached out to wrap his arms around Wan Qi Jing Hou's neck, the two quickly kissed each other.
Wen Baiyu's legs rubbed against Wang Qi Jinghou's waist, arching her body, and soon her breathing became heavy.
At this time, Wan Qi Jing Hou calmly kissed Wen Bai Yu's forehead and said: "It's getting late, go to sleep, let's continue after the birthday banquet tomorrow."
Wen Baiyu was taken aback, staring at Wan Kuang Jinghou, thinking he must be intentionally teasing her. Otherwise, with the arrow already on the string, he would have let him continue tomorrow!
Wan Kuang Jing Hou smiled and looked at him, saying: "What's wrong, can't wait?"
Wen Baiyu was panting heavily and wanted to spit in his face, but turned around in anger, only to hear Wan Jijinghou laugh, indeed teasing him.
Wan Xi Jing Hou hugged Wen Bai Yu from behind and asked, "Are you angry?"
Wen Baiyu didn't say a word, and then he heard Wan Kuang Jinghou say: "I was just kidding you."
Wen Baiyu felt deeply that this joke was not funny at all, and listened to Wan Jijinghou continue telling his cold jokes.
"Do you want me to kiss you?"
Wen Baiyu didn't hesitate and said: "Don't want to, get out."
Wan Xi Jing Hou chuckled and said, "Then why are you so excited here?"
Wen Baiyu was touched by him and let out a coarse breath with a "hmm..." sound.
Wan Jie Jing Hou helped Wen Bai Yu vent once, and then let Wen Bai Yu help him with his hands. Wen Bai Yu's hands were sore, Wan Jie Jing Hou's physical strength was really not ordinary.
The next morning when she woke up, Wen Baiyu felt that her wrists were still sore and even holding chopsticks made them tremble.
Wen Kai is a respectable person in Jinhua, you can tell from where he lives. It's definitely not a place that Wen Baiwu could afford to buy for his small restaurant. From early morning on, many people came to send gifts and wish him a happy birthday.
Wen Baiyu, as the young master of the Wen family, was making his first public appearance and was extremely busy, spinning around like a top, even forcing a smile when meeting people.
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt grateful for Wan Jingshou's thoughtfulness, fortunately last night was just a substitute for him to comfort him, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable...
People have been sending gifts since morning, and there are many big shots attending the birthday banquet tonight, as well as many who have flown in from other places on purpose.
Before the longevity banquet began, many people stood together chatting, and someone kept coming over to chat with Wen Baiyu. Wen Baiyu was a bit unaccustomed to this kind of small talk.
Wen Baiyu wore a suit, and Wan Jingshou also wore a suit, which was specially made by Wen Jiumu. It fit perfectly, and Wen Baiyu rarely saw Wan Jingshou dressed up formally, his eyes almost popped out.
Wan Qi Jinghou's figure is very good, and wearing a suit doesn't make him look weak, but rather tall and handsome.
At the banquet, Wen Baiyu was half the protagonist. When Wan Qi Jinghou stood beside him, many people naturally looked over, and some young ladies from prestigious families stared at Wan Qi Jinghou.
Wen Baiyu rolled her eyes and thought that Wan Kuangjing's face was indeed a magnet for trouble.
He was thinking, when suddenly Wan Kuang Jing Hou patted him on the shoulder. Wen Bai Yu turned his head around, a shadow pressed down, and he immediately felt a warmth on his lips, his eyes widening instantly.
"What's going on all of a sudden?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou held a cup of red wine in his hand, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Looking at your expression, I couldn't help but want to kiss you."
Wen Baiyu looked at Wan Kuang Jing Hou's playful smile, and immediately touched her own face. Could it be that her jealous expression just now was too exaggerated, and had been discovered by others? That would be too embarrassing.
Just as they were speaking, Wen Lei and Wen Jiu Mu had already walked in, the protagonist had arrived, and for a moment the banquet hall fell silent.
Wen Kai said a couple of polite phrases, but with his personality, he didn't want to say much either, and everyone sat down immediately.
At this time a servant walked in from outside, holding a box in his hand and handed it to Wen Cui, saying that it was a birthday gift sent by a gentleman outside. He came and left without entering.
Wen Kai found it somewhat strange, the box looked like an antique and wasn't locked, it opened with just a slight push.
As soon as the box was opened, Wen Baiyu couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.
Wen Kai was normally very calm and composed, but having seen his fair share of big waves, he couldn't help but have a slight tremble in his hand, almost dropping the box to the ground.
All that was seen was an antique box with a hand lying inside, devoid of skin and flesh, only bones remained, a hand emitting a faint blue glow similar to ice crystal.
A black feather was still stuck on the side of the box...
