Chapter 74: The Ancient Night Lang Country

  Wen Baiyu immediately rushed over, made a cut on his palm with the phoenix bone dagger, and then pinched Di Liang's chin, dripping blood into his mouth.

  Di Liang was still coughing violently, and most of the blood had been spat out, vomiting on the ground, but the reaction to coughing up blood was slightly weaker than before.

  Di Liang covered his chest, leaned against the wall, and breathed quickly. However, the faster he breathed, the dizzier Di Liang felt, his face turned pale and looked very bad.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Di Liang has lost too much blood, his body is too weak, Xiao Hai's poison is very overbearing, we must hurry out and send Di Liang to the hospital."

  Di Liang occasionally still coughed, covering his mouth with his hand, and the palm of his hand would see a considerable amount of bloodstains, although it was much better than before, but it looked terrifying.

  He laboriously lifted his eyes and looked at the little sea not far away. The little sea had a sneer on his face, his eyes were also staring at him, and the muscles on his face kept twitching.

  Suddenly, Xiao Hai's eyes flowed with a stream of bloody tears.

  Di Liang was startled and immediately sat up with his hands on the ground, saying: "Xiao Hai..."

  Wen Baihe and others also looked over, only to see Xiao Haici's pale face with two streams of blood tears, the blood tears still constantly flowing out from her eye sockets, "drip drip" dripping onto the stone floor.

  Everyone was shocked, and Xiaohai suddenly shed bloody tears, for some unknown reason.

  Di Liang struggled to get up, but he really had no strength, so he simply crawled over with his hands on the ground. Xiao Hai sat stupidly on the ground, her eyes streaming with bloody tears that stained her clothes and dripped down onto the floor with a steady patter.

  "Xiao Hai? What's wrong?"

  Di Liang crawled over, reached out to wipe Xiao Hai's tears, and Wan Qi Jing Hou was about to stop him when Xiao Hai suddenly burst open the rope with a "pop" sound. Then he opened Di Liang's hand, and blood and tears dripped onto it. As soon as they touched Di Liang's hand, his wrist immediately broke out in red blisters, swelling up into a patch of redness.

  Xiao Hai immediately let out a "hiss" and ran to the corner of the wall, curling up into a ball. Tears of blood flowed even more violently as he said: "Don't touch me, I'm poisonous...I didn't...I didn't mean to hurt you..."

  Xiaohai spoke up, and everyone was shocked. Wen Baiyu said: "Xiaohai? Are you conscious?"

  Xiao Hai didn't say a word, he just curled up in the corner of the wall, constantly sneaking glances at Di Liang.

  Di Liang was also surprised and delighted, as if the dizziness from blood loss and the pain of poisoning didn't matter anymore. He immediately said: "Xiao Hai, do you know who I am now?"

  Xiao Hai's lips trembled and he nodded slightly.

  Dong Hai said: "It should be that Xiaohai's body has poison, and the sea worm will be killed by toxins if it stays in the body for a long time."

  He pointed at Xiaohai's eyes and said: "It's all right if they just flow out."

  Jiuming shuddered and said, "This thing is really disgusting, and it's going to come out of my eyes?"

  Dong Hai said: "It's possible for it to flow out from any of the nine orifices, as long as there is a gap. However, the Small Sea flows out from the eyes."

  Actually, Xiao Hai just wanted to cry. He was controlled by the sea worm earlier, but he still had memories after waking up. Xiao Hai first shot Di Liang and then poisoned him. Xiao Hai felt both wronged and hateful of himself.

  Little Hai cowered in the corner, constantly wiping away his own blood and tears with a trembling hand.

  Di Liang wanted to go comfort him, but was held back by Wan Jie Jing Hou. Wan Jie Jing Hou whispered: "You don't have to go over there for now, let him vent his grief first, otherwise the sea worm is still in his head."

  Xiao Hai cried pitifully, his small stature shrinking into the corner, his soft body curled up into a ball, shaking with each sob, his eyes occasionally looking towards Di Liang.

  Di Liang felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he thought that Wan Kuang Jing Hou was right. If they didn't get rid of them completely, there would always be a problem. Those worms crawling into the brain were absolutely not to be trifled with.

  Di Liang thought for a moment and didn't go over to comfort Xiao Hai. He simply steeled himself and looked away.

  Xiao Hai still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but when he saw Di Liang suddenly turn his head away with a cold expression, his heart instantly turned cold. With a gunshot wound and poisoning, Xiao Hai felt that his seven years were over...

  Wen Bai Yu looked at Xiao Hai's wronged eyes and felt a little unbearable, so he shifted the topic and said: "Di Liang, after your people entered the tomb chamber, did you move the female corpse? This coffin is empty."

  "No, at least before I escaped, the female corpse was still in the coffin, and there was poison in her mouth. When our people tried to take a look at the female corpse, she just moved slightly and spat out toxic liquid, so we didn't dare touch it again. Moreover, this female corpse is really eerie. At that time, the situation was very chaotic, many of us died, and everyone was injured, it's impossible for anyone to move the female corpse."

  "Is that him running away?"

  Jiǔ Mìng said: "Isn't it still short of two? How can you run away when you're short of two?"

  As soon as he said that, Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly frowned and ran back to the coffin. He saw that the three-legged golden crow mirror had been quietly moved and was now lying beside the coffin.

  Everyone gasped, taking a cold breath. This was really too eerie. Just now, they clearly hadn't moved the mirror, and it had been placed inside the coffin. But now, that mirror had somehow run out of the coffin by itself and fallen to the ground beside it. Everything was silent, and no one knew when this had happened.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou immediately grabbed the mirror on the ground with one hand. The mirror didn't move and nothing strange happened.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The female corpse is still in this tomb."

  As soon as he spoke, everyone was on high alert, the female corpse was still in the tomb, they couldn't see it again, apparently it was hidden. The feeling of having such an enemy lurking in the dark was really not ideal.

  Di Liang couldn't help but quickly grab Xiao Hai's arm and said, "Xiao Hai, stop running around."

  Xiao Hai's tears had turned into a light milky color, still not the normal color of ordinary tears. Di Liang didn't know if it was because the sea worm hadn't been cleaned up properly or if Xiao Hai's tears were naturally this color, but he couldn't worry about that right now.

  Xiao Hai shrank his hand, but Di Liang grasped it tightly. Xiao Hai couldn't pull it back and lowered his head, sobbing: "I really... didn't mean to harm you..."

  Di Liang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his voice to comfortingly say: "I know, Xiao Hai, I know, I'm fine, don't move, don't run around again, we're all worried about you."

  Xiao Hai's heart rose with a glimmer of hope, nodded slightly, and didn't say another word.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou held up the mirror in his hand and said, "When we came in, the female corpse hid in a hurry, she must still want this mirror."

  "What can we do?"

  Zou Chengyi suddenly said: "Shatter the mirror."

  "Wait a minute, we can't smash it! If the island is really inside the mirror, then if we smash the mirror, won't we shatter too?"

  Zou Chengyi said: "The female corpse wants to use the mirror to revive, killing people is part of the sacrifice, she still lacks two people, we are all her prey."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the long candles around the tomb suddenly went out, and the tomb was plunged into extreme darkness.

  Jiǔ Mìng suddenly exclaimed "Ah!", saying: "Who blew air on the back of my neck!"

  Donghai grasped nine lives with one hand, and the trident on his back suddenly lengthened, "slamming" into the ground, sending a string of stone floor tiles flying.

  Donghai shouted "Get down!"

  Jiǔ Mìng immediately fell to the ground, and just then, a "whooshing" sound was heard, something flew past his hair.

  Wen Baiyu also sensed the wind sound, immediately lowered his head, took something and struck it over, "peng" a sound inserted into the tomb wall behind.

  Surroundings were pitch black, with cool air currents constantly surging. A flame suddenly burst out of Wen Baiyu's hand, and with a flick of her finger, the flame shot out, lighting up the Longming lamp.

  In the blink of an eye, Jiǔ Mìng saw a woman with scaly skin standing not far away from him. Her face had almost no muscles, her teeth were clenched, and her eyes were wide open, revealing a ferocious smile as she stared at him.

  Jiǔ Mìng was startled and took two steps back. The female corpse had already pounced over, her mouth making a "heh heh heh" sinister laughter sound, her jaws open saying: "Still short of two... still short of two..."

  Everyone's heart skipped a beat as the female corpse actually had consciousness!

  Just as Jiǔ Mìng was about to dodge, she discovered that the female corpse wasn't actually looking at her, but rather at Wàn Suí Jǐnghóu who was standing not far behind her, because Wàn Suí Jǐnghóu had in his hand the mirror that the female corpse wanted.

  The female corpse rushed over, and the mirror in Wan Qi Jing Hou's hand shook, suddenly throwing it into Wen Bai Yu's hands.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that this mirror was indeed hot in his hands, the female corpse immediately chased after him, and they now seemed to be playing a game of dodgeball...

  Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou cooperated very tacitly, the female corpse always rushed forward, the mirror had already changed hands, and she was furious with rage.

  The female corpse suddenly let out a loud roar, then turned around and rushed towards the wall root. Jiǔ Mìng was just about to mock the corpse's intelligence for not being higher than a crow's when Bái Yǔ shouted loudly: "Xiǎo Hǎi!"

  Xiao Hai saw the female corpse suddenly rush over, immediately hugged Di Liang, and rolled on the ground with a loud "boom". The female corpse's scaly head hit the tomb wall, and surprisingly opened a big hole in the tomb wall. At that moment, dust flew everywhere, almost blinding everyone's eyes. The female corpse was submerged in the dust.

  Xiao Hai looked around and felt a chill behind him. He turned his head to see the female corpse had appeared behind them at some point, reaching out to grab them.

  Di Liang grasped the female corpse's wrist, and her skin began to secrete a corrosive substance with a putrid stench. Di Liang's palm felt a sharp pain, and he suddenly recalled his teammates' hoarse screams when they came into contact with this substance - their faces were instantly charred beyond recognition.

  Xiao Hai saw that Di Liang's palm was bleeding, and his heart suddenly tightened. He stretched out his hand to grab his own arm, and two big mouths appeared instantly. Xiao Hai wiped away the pale-colored blood beads on his own face and quickly threw them onto the female corpse's face.

  "Ahhh!!!!"

  The female corpse suddenly let out a loud cry and stopped caring about Di Liang. She raised her hands to cover her face.

  Xiao Hai's venom was extremely potent, and the scaly flesh on the female corpse's face was instantly charred, becoming pockmarked like the surface of the moon.

  Xiaohai grabbed Dilang, and Dilang's hands were covered in blood. Due to excessive blood loss and poisoning, he couldn't take a single step.

  Xiao Hai said: "I'll carry you on my back."

  He said that, and then he carried Di Liang on his back. Xiao Hai's body was too small, Di Liang's figure was very tall and large, lying on Xiao Hai's back, almost invisible Xiao Hai.

  Xiao Hai's movements were extremely agile, and with a sudden leap, he placed Di Liang behind everyone.

  Jiǔ Mìng said: "Is the female corpse crazy?"

  He had just finished speaking when the female corpse suddenly became enraged again, charging at Xiaohai once more, her hoarse voice shouting: "Return my mirror! Return my mirror!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou's dagger flashed, and the female corpse was forced to retreat two steps. A sunken face glared at them fiercely, its throat rolling and screaming: "Return my mirror! Mirror!"

  Jiuming said: "This female corpse has really gone mad. The mirror is clearly with the tyrant, why did she grab Xiaohai?"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly had an idea when he heard this, and looked back at Xiao Hai. Xiao Hai's clothes were already open, and on his chest was a reflective surface like a mirror.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the mirror in Wang Qi Jing Hou's hand, this three-legged golden crow mirror was actually missing a corner, it was clearly broken, and the fragments were likely swallowed by Xiao Hai who was a little scallop, but Xiao Hai still didn't know what he had swallowed.

  Jiǔ Mìng said: "What's going on now? The wooden fragments are all over the place, I didn't see any female corpse with this either."

  Zou Chengyi said: "Do you still remember that Yang Cheng's body also had consciousness? The fragments of the wooden building must be on the female corpse."

  Jiuming raised an eyebrow and said: "You mean we're going to search each other? That's a bit more challenging."

  Apart from searching her body, there seems to be no other way. Can't just let the female corpse take out the fragments of Jianmu by herself, can we?

  Everyone thought so, and then they heard the female corpse suddenly "heh heh" laugh twice, as if she already knew their intention. When she touched her own body, there was an additional wooden branch on her two dry bony hands.

  Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, the female corpse's mouth corners curled up, revealing a sinister smile, making a "heh heh" sound, then opened her mouth, exposing three rows of teeth like a monstrous fish, and placed the key in her mouth.

  The female corpse smiled slyly and closed her mouth, "gulp" swallowed Jianmu's branch!

  The nine lives stared with wide eyes and said: "It's all good now, no need to search the body, just open it up!"

  He spoke, his claws exposed, and suddenly jumped up, leaping over in an instant. The female corpse immediately dodged with a hideous smile. Donghai feared that Jiuling would get into trouble, so he hastily followed, thrusting out the trident with a "slap".

  Wen Bai's mind quickly turned, and he reached out to grab the three-legged golden crow mirror, then raised his hand and slapped it onto the coffin with a loud bang.

  Then came a "crack!" and a seam suddenly appeared on the mirror, followed by a loud rumbling sound. The tombstone began to drop rocks, and the ancient building started shaking violently.

  Everyone did not expect that the huge ancient building shook violently, and the ground also had a tendency to crack open, but it did not collapse.

  Wen Baiyu let out a sigh of relief, fortunately his strength was just right, it was just a test to see the effect, this tomb was indeed reflected in the mirror, if the mirror shattered, the ancient tower would collapse, and even the entire island would sink, they were still inside the ancient tower, they would definitely be buried alive.

  Wen Baiyu slapped the mirror, and the female corpse was attracted to him. She immediately pounced on Wen Baiyu, wanting to grab him. Wen Baiyu suddenly raised the mirror, making a gesture as if he was about to slap it onto the coffin.

  The female corpse let out a loud roar, "My mirror! Return my mirror to me! Return it!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "I want to build a wooden branch."

  The female corpse suddenly burst out laughing and said, "The branches of Jianmu? Those are already mine. You ants, I will use all of you to make a blood sacrifice for my mirror!"

  He said, and suddenly pounced forward, Wan Qi Jinghou's eyes narrowed, and his foot kicked out. Suddenly, a loud "boom" sound was heard, and the coffin on the ground flew up and hit the female corpse. The various burial objects in the coffin all fell out and smashed towards the female corpse.

  The female corpse let out a loud wail, and then there was a loud "Boom!" sound. The coffin was smashed open with a huge hole from the bottom, and she burst out of it.

  The female corpse reached out to grab the mirror from Wen Baiyu's hand, and a flame burst forth from Wen Baiyu's palm. The female corpse merely paused briefly before quickly continuing to stretch out her hand.

  Wen Baiyu discovered that his hands were left with only bones, and the Shen Ya clan had never adopted cremation because their bones could not be burned at all, and they were not afraid of fire.

  The female corpse's hand stretched out again, and Wen Baiyu's palm turned over, and a "hiss" sound was heard. The female corpse's two fingers broke off simultaneously and flew out, landing right next to Xiao Hai.

  Xiao Hai was startled and trembled, Di Liang also understood what the bright spot on Xiao Hai's chest was. The mirror happened to be missing a piece of that size, and the female corpse had been roaring at Xiao Hai all along. It's likely that using the sea worm to control Xiao Hai earlier was also for the purpose of retrieving the mirror shard.

  Di Liang immediately beckoned and said: "Xiao Hai, come over quickly."

  Xiao Hai got up, and the female corpse immediately discovered him and pounced on Xiao Hai.

  Zou Chengyi let out a vexed snort and said, "Jianmu is in her belly, there's no time."

  He said, and with a whoosh of wind he was set down, then took off his glasses and suddenly darted out.

  Yi Feng kicked the female corpse's chest with one foot, and the female corpse flew out after being kicked. She crashed into the tomb wall, Yi Feng suddenly jumped up, stretched out her hand to grab the female corpse, and the female corpse rolled on the ground for a while. Her right hand instantly broke two fingers, leaving only three, which was very inconvenient.

  The gust of wind passed, and with a loud "boom", the tomb wall that had been hit twice suddenly collapsed, and Zou Cheng let out a cold breath. In an instant, dust flew everywhere, and the gust of wind and the female corpse's shadow disappeared, buried in the dirt.

  Zou Chengyi was slightly worried, the tomb suddenly became quiet, just as the dust settled for a moment, the female corpse suddenly let out a loud and piercing scream, "Keng" sound, immediately grabbed with one hand, and was knocked back two steps.

  The female corpse suddenly rushed out like a madman to the place where the tomb wall was smashed, which is the highest level of the ancient building. After the tomb wall was smashed, a big mouth was suddenly opened, and the female corpse rushed out, jumping down from the sixth floor at once.

  Zou Chengyi cursed and watched as the female corpse suddenly disappeared before his eyes.

  The wind rose from the ground, the female corpse ran away, and there were three bloodstains on his sleeve.

  Wen Baiyu looked down and saw the female corpse jumping from here, saying: "Escaped?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou walked over and said: "She will definitely want the mirror back, we have leverage as long as we hold onto it."

  Wen Baiyu nodded, looking at the mirror in her hand. She felt that the mirror had been loosened by her own slap earlier, and the three-legged golden crow on the back of the mirror was slightly loose. The mirror began to sway inside the frame, and it might fall out at any moment.

  Wen Baiyu let out a soft "ah" and had just thought that it might fall down when the mirror really fell down.

  Wen Baiyu quickly stretched out her hand to catch it, and the mirror did not fall to the ground. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, they still didn't want to be buried alive in this bone tower.

  Wen Baiyu held up the mirror and suddenly went "huh?", picked it up again, and flipped it over to look at the back.

  The back of this mirror has been inlaid in the frame of the tripod golden crow, and it can't be seen at all. Now that it has fallen off, I see that the back is not smooth, but has a pattern engraved on it.

  Wen Baiyu fixed her eyes on it and saw that the pattern on the back of the mirror was very delicate, with a river carved on it, and a woman standing in the river, holding a thick three-section bamboo pole.

  Everyone saw Wen Baiyu discover something strange and immediately gathered around. Zou Cheng furrowed his brow and said, "The back is so exquisite, how could it be inlaid in a mirror frame?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The most important thing is that the female corpse obviously worships crows, at most it's related to seawater, and the pattern on the back of this mirror is bamboo worship."

  "There was a Bamboo King who emerged from the Tuan Water, and there was a woman washing in the stream. Three large bamboo sections flowed into her feet, and she couldn't push them away. Hearing a child's cry, she picked it up and took it back, broke it open, and found a baby boy. Raised with great talent and bravery, he became the first king of the ancient Night Lang Kingdom, using bamboo as his surname. Although this is a myth, it also confirms the existence of bamboo worship, which is depicted on the back of the mirror."

  Wen Baiyu said: "The ancient state of Night Lang? Is this related to the female corpse?"

  Zou Cheng shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

  Wen Baiyu stroked his chin and said, "The mirror is made of bone, but the back is carved with the legend of Ye Lang, and then it's framed with a three-legged golden crow. What does this mean?"

  Nine lives whispered, "Is it that simple? Maybe this mirror itself doesn't have a frame. The female corpse knew that this mirror could revive herself, and let people fight for it or dig it up from the grave. For a female corpse with a desire to rule, is that really difficult? Then put on a three-legged golden crow frame representing power, and claim it as her own."

  Wen Baiyu's eyes seemed to be deep in thought as he reached out to touch the three-sectioned bamboo on the back of the mirror, saying: "Ye Lang... no matter what, if this is really something from the ancient Ye Lang country, then Ye Lang and the Shen Ya clan must also have a connection, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for there to be such bone-made things."

  He said, and then heard Di Liang's cough. Although Di Liang had drunk some of Wen Baiyu's blood, most of it was coughed out. He spread his hand to take a look, and indeed there was still blood.

  Wen Baiyu said, "The female corpse has escaped, but fortunately we still have the mirror in our hands, so we're not afraid she won't come back. The top priority now is to get Di Liang out of here, the toxin probably damaged his internal organs."

  Everyone nodded and immediately came out of the ancient building, following the original path to exit outside the cave.

  Di Liang drew a simple map, and on the ground there were still bloodstains left behind by Xiao Hai before, the bloodstains had completely dried up and turned into small, shiny pale-colored pearls.

  Xiao Hai carried Di Liang on his back and quickly followed the crowd to run forward. They ran all the way, not resting for a moment, and arrived at the seaside by midnight.

  Xiao Hai looked at the sea water and said: "I know where the estuary is, but I need to dive."

  Others dived without any issues, but Di Liang injured his internal organs and is expected to be short of breath while diving.

  Xiao Hai said: "Wait for me."

  He immediately jumped into the sea with a "plop" and after more than ten minutes, Di Liang looked at the sea surface with some anxiety. Then he saw some small bubbles on the water surface, followed by a " splash" sound. Xiao Hai emerged from inside and then pulled out a huge shell.

  The shell was just big enough for a grown man to lie in. The sea said, "Open the shell," and said, "You lie inside, I can pull you out."

  Di Liang nodded, he lay down, Xiao Hai was about to close the shell, Di Liang suddenly grabbed Xiao Hai's hand and said: "Xiao Hai, didn't you want to come with us before? I'm tired now, I want to sleep for a while, you follow us obediently, got it?"

  Xiao Hai's eyes immediately turned red and tears began to flow as he said, "But I'm poisonous, I'm afraid of hurting you."

  Di Liang gently stroked his face and said, "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

  Xiao Hai pouted, and then Di Liang said again: "You ambushed me several times, and when we get out, I'll settle the score with you."

  Xiao Hai's face instantly turned red as soon as he heard it, and he quickly closed the shell.

  Jiǔ Mìng seemed to have heard something interesting, perked up his ears and said: "What, several times? Not just once? Xiao Hai, I really misjudged you, I thought you were quite shy!"

  Everyone thought of escaping from this strange island, and their mood was excited. Xiao Hai was the first to dive into the water, Wen Baiyu was a bit nervous, holding his breath, Wan Jingshou pulled his hand, and the two also dived into the water.

  Wen Baiyu felt that diving was actually quite easy, this water was just like what Di Liang said, weak water, nothing could float up, they entered the water and immediately sank down, no need to dive down, quickly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

  Someone's words were too much to bear, and it was a bit hard to endure. Wan Xi Jing Hou pulled him along, following the little sea in front of them.

  Xiao Hai entered the water and moved very quickly, dragging a giant clam, swimming no slower than them.

  Soon, Xiaohai looked back and pointed forward. Wen Baiyu opened her eyes wide to look ahead, but she didn't see anything, nor the glass cover that Xiaohai mentioned.

  Just like how Wen Baiyu couldn't see the glass above his head before, he also can't see the glass in the sea now. Perhaps it's because Xiao Hai swallowed the shards of the mirror, so only he can see that invisible glass cover.

  Xiao Hai's body contracted, and he swam forward. Then, he quickly turned the giant shell around to a slightly narrower side, adjusted his direction, and slowly backed away.

  Looking at Xiao Hai's movements, the hole seemed not too big, barely able to pull out the shell. Wan Xiu Jing Hou grabbed Wen Bai Yu and quickly passed through where Xiao Hai had gone.

  Although Wen Baiyu couldn't see the invisible glass, he could clearly feel the change in the water flow, as if entering a real place from an unreal one. The icy cold water made Wen Baiyu shiver and almost cramp up.

  Wen Baiyu felt a bit suffocated, his face turned red, and Wan Jingshou quickly pulled him up to the surface of the water. Here, there was obviously buoyancy. With the help of buoyancy, Wen Baiyu had a feeling of suddenly rushing into the sky. "Splash" a loud noise, he burst out of the water's surface.

  Wen Baiyu felt a warmth under his nose again. Wan Jingshou looked at him and smiled, saying: "Nosebleed again?"

  Wen Baiyu hastily reached out to wipe it away, saying: "It came up too quickly, I'm so used to having nosebleeds now."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "Isn't it because of watching me?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Right behind them, the crowd also rushed out of the water. Because they suddenly emerged from the water, Jiǔ Mìng and Zōu Chéngyī both had nosebleeds. Jiǔ Mìng wiped his nosebleed while laughing and said: "We actually made it out, this is too incredible."

  Zou Chengyuan then said: "I just want to ask, although we've come out, but with such a big sea and no boat, how are we going back?"

  Yi Feng said: "Young Master, don't worry about this. Have you forgotten that we have the Merfolk King here?"

  He said, looking out at the East Sea.

  Donghai put his fingers to his lips, blew a whistle, and suddenly many triangular fins emerged from the surface of the sea, followed by rapid waves rushing towards them from all directions.

  Jiu Ming's body hair stood on end, and with a "whoosh", he wrapped his arms around Donghai's neck and clamped his legs around his waist, shouting: "Shark! Shark!!"

  Donghai laughed and patted his butt lightly, saying: "Aren't you a cat? What are you afraid of fish for?"

  Nine lives wrapped around his neck and said: "I'm a cat, cats don't even eat sharks!"

  Those sharks stopped around them and didn't attack them, Dong Hai said: "Then I'll take you."

  Wen Baiyu rode a shark for the first time, to be honest, he felt that his legs would be bitten into the shark's mouth at any time, but his body was still wet and couldn't transform into a swan to fly directly.

  Jiǔ Mìng would rather die than ride a shark, but the East Sea itself is the Shark People King, naturally he can swim, and his swimming speed is not slower than that of sharks. Moreover, his fish tail is very big, so Jiǔ Mìng sitting on it has no problem at all.

  Nine lives with legs apart, sitting on the fish tail of the East Sea, twisted and shifted his buttocks, angrily said: "Can't you go back? Why do you have to use the backstroke."

  "The East Sea said faintly: 'Because this posture is not bad.'"

  Jiǔ Mìng's face turned red and said: "I don't think it's bad at all."

  Donghai patted him on the butt and said, "It's just like you took the initiative to sit down."

  Nine-tailed beast stretched out its hand, exposed its claws, grasped the neck of the East Sea and said: "I'd rather strangle you to death, for the sake of eliminating harm for the people!"

  He pinched him, and the East Sea suddenly shook violently. The nine lives were so frightened that they fell to the ground, hugging the East Sea's neck with both hands.

  Donghai gently stroked the back of Jiuming with his hand and said with a hint of a smile, "Hold me tight, it's actually very safe."

  After arriving in the city, everyone immediately sent Di Liang to the hospital. Di Liang's poisoning was not severe, but he had suffered some internal injuries and lost a lot of blood, so he needed to rest for a while.

  Before Di Liang was discharged from the hospital, Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou went to visit him. It happened that Di Liang was taking a nap, while Xiao Hai accompanied him by his bedside.

  Just as Wen Baiyu was about to enter the ward, Wan Xijinghou pulled him back and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Wan Kuang raised an eyebrow.

  Wen Baiyu immediately looked in through the window with a curious expression and indeed saw Xiao Hai launching another sneak attack.

  Di Liang lay in bed, seemingly asleep. He had shaved off his beard when he was hospitalized, but after so many days, it seemed to have grown a bit again.

  Xiao Hai seemed to think it was interesting, reached out and touched Di Liang's goatee, feeling a bit prickly, then touched his own chin, completely without any prickly whiskers.

  Xiaohai finished laughing, then stared at Diliang's lips, her eyes very focused. She pursed her own pale pink lips, seemingly thinking for a long time, but still couldn't resist the temptation. Slowly lowering her head, she puckered up and lightly pecked Diliang's lips.

  In an instant, Xiaohai raised her head and saw Diliang open his eyes.

  Xiao Hai jumped back, shrinking away, Di Liang's face had already recovered, his lips also regained their color, smiling and saying: "Sneaking up on me again?"

  Xiao Hai's face turned bright red as he shook his head and said: "It's not... I..."

  Di Liang said: "You didn't launch a surprise attack?"

  Xiao Hai's face turned even redder, he indeed ambushed him, and really didn't know what to say.

  Xiao Hai fell silent for a moment.

  Wen Baiyu found it very interesting to sneak a peek from outside, and would occasionally poke Wan Qi Jinghou. Wan Qi Jinghou wasn't as nosy as him, but still accompanied Wen Baiyu in sneaking a look from outside the sickroom. The passing nurses looked at them suspiciously, feeling like they were some kind of dangerous elements.

  Di Liang patted the bedside with his hand, gesturing for Xiao Hai to come over. Xiao Hai slowly moved over and sat down at this time.

  Di Liang said: "Tomorrow I will be discharged from the hospital, Xiao Hai, thank you for taking care of me for seven years."

  Xiao Hai lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Don't thank me, you've also accompanied me for so long."

  Di Liang said, "In a few days I will return to Beijing and also go see my teacher's relatives. I have no family members, my teacher has always paid for me to study, now that my teacher is gone, I must go back and take a look at his relatives."

  Xiao Hai nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

  Di Liang said: "Are you willing to follow me?"

  Xiao Hai's eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement as he looked up in surprise and asked: "Are you going to take me along?"

  Di Liang smiled and said: "If I don't take you with me, where will you go?"

  Xiao Hai said: "Anyway... there's always somewhere to go, the sea is so big, just find a patch of mud and it's fine. If you're being troublesome, then don't bring me along."

  Although Xiao Hai said so, he frequently glanced at Di Liang with his eyes, as if Di Liang was going to leave him behind and Xiao Hai would burst into tears immediately.

  Di Liang was amused by him and said, "Fool, of course I'll take you with me."

  "Really?" Xiao Hai said excitedly.

  Di Liang nodded and suddenly said: "Xiao Hai, do you like me?"

  Xiao Hai's face turned red with a "hong" sound, she pursed her lips and nodded vigorously after a while, saying: "You look good."

  Di Liang smiled and said: "I was disheveled at that time, how could you think I looked good?"

  Xiao Hai didn't say anything.

  Di Liang looked at Xiao Hai's appearance and couldn't help but tease him, saying: "Who do you think is the most handsome?"

  Xiao Hai thought for a moment and then said: "Wan Kui Jing Hou."

  Men Wai's Wen Baiyu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wan Qi Jinghou, Wan Qi Jinghou stretched out his hand to wipe his face, then rubbed his temples.

  Di Liang was just teasing Xiao Hai, but he didn't expect that what Xiao Hai said would make him spit out three liters of blood. Di Liang felt like he had been seriously injured and might not even be able to leave the hospital tomorrow!

  Di Liang's face suddenly turned green, as black as the bottom of a pot. Di Liang didn't want to say what he was feeling now, because it was too sour.

  For seven years, Di Liang had not seen Xiao Hai's face, but they were almost inseparable. When Xiao Hai kissed him, Di Liang indeed felt a rush of excitement and thrill. Having been trapped for seven years, experiencing life and death separations, what else couldn't he accept, especially when it came to his beloved Xiao Hai?

  Di Liang thought that in Xiao Hai's heart, he was definitely the most important one. Who knew that what Xiao Hai said could actually be enough to kill someone with anger.

  Xiao Hai still didn't know what strange words he had just said, he was just speaking the truth. Di Liang fell silent, raised his head and looked at him with wide eyes blinking.

  Xiao Hai felt that Di Liang seemed to be angry, he really didn't understand, every time Di Liang got angry there was no warning sign. Xiao Hai was a little scared and just wanted to retreat when Di Liang suddenly grabbed him and pulled him onto the bed.

  Xiaohai let out a soft cry, and Di Liang immediately lowered his head and kissed Xiaohai's lips.

  Xiao Hai jumped in fright, hastily closing her mouth tightly, staring with wide eyes, humming and biting her lip, saying: "No... I'm poisonous..."

  Di Liang said: "I'll kiss you, isn't that enough?"

  He said, and then lowered his head, kissed the small sea's lips lightly, which made Di Liang's heart surge with anxiety.

  His lips pressed against Xiao Hai's, and Xiao Hai's whole body trembled instantly, but still tightly pursed his lips, not daring to open his mouth.

  Di Liang stuck out his tongue and lightly licked Xia Hai's lips twice, Xia Hai was frightened with wide eyes, shaking his head vigorously and waving his hands wildly.

  Di Liang knew he was afraid of being poisoned, but seeing Xiao Hai's terrified and flushed expression made him feel a thrill.

  Di Liang reached out and pinched his chin, saying: "Who do you like best?"

  Xiao Hai looked at Di Liang strangely and said: "I... I only like you."

  Di Liang's mind went "boom" and he immediately lowered his head, kissing Xiao Hai's neck. Xiao Hai let out a soft "ahh" as Di Liang tilted his head to the side, continuing to kiss down his neck until he reached his collarbone. His hand slipped into Xiao Hai's clothes, caressing his waist.

  Xiao Hai's whole body trembled, panting heavily and continuously, stretching out his hand to tightly wrap around Di Liang's neck.

  Wen Baiyu saw that things were getting out of hand, and her face also turned a bit red. Wan Jinhao said: "Let's go, we'll first return to the hotel, and come back this afternoon."

  Wen Baiyu shot a glance at Wan Jingshou and said, "You're just cannon fodder."

  After finishing speaking, he left, and Wan Qi Jing Hou was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat helpless, and hurriedly followed up.

  Di Liang was discharged from the hospital and happened to return to Beijing together. Seven years have passed, and Di Liang, this missing person, can be declared dead. There is no such thing as an ID card either.

  Xiao Hai didn't have an ID card either, but this was no problem for Wan Qi Jing Hou, who quickly arranged for both of them to get ID cards. They bought their tickets and prepared to return to Beijing.

  Zou Chengyi and Xiao Feng didn't go to Beijing, Zou Chengyi said: "I'm going to take a look at Guizhou, after all, there's something related to Ye Lang on that mirror, I'll call you if anything happens."

  Wen Baiyu nodded, and Yi Feng drove away with Zou Chengyi.

  The day they returned to Beijing, everyone arrived at the airport and had some time to kill while waiting in the lounge.

  Xiao Hai went to the bathroom, but 15 minutes later he still hadn't come out. Wen Baiyu was worried that something had happened to him, so she also went to the bathroom to take a look. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she saw Xiao Hai playing with water and making the sensor-activated faucet go "whoosh whoosh".

  Xiao Hai saw him coming in and smiled: "This thing is really interesting."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  This time the bathroom was empty, so Wen Baiyu let him continue playing with water and went to the toilet himself. Suddenly, he heard a "bang" outside the door, as if someone had come in and closed the door very hard.

  Wen Baiyu pushed open the door of the cubicle and walked out, Xiao Hai didn't know where he had run to, the faucet was still gushing water, the faucet's sensing time was about ten seconds or so, Xiao Hai should have just left a few seconds ago.

  Wen Baiyu thought he had left, and was about to open the door and go out. As a result, as soon as she opened the door, she saw another ring of scorch marks on the doorknob. She frowned immediately, stretched out her hand and closed the door again.

  Just then, the door of the bathroom stall made a "bang" sound, and someone shouted. Wen Baiyu recognized that the voice was definitely Xiao Hai's.

  Wen Baiyu rushed over and kicked the bathroom door twice, instantly kicking it open. The door panel slammed in and hit something.

  Xiao Hai struggled inside and saw an opportunity to rush out immediately. He stretched out his hand to grab Wen Baiyu and hid behind him in one swift motion.

  Wen Baiyu saw that Xiao Hai's chest was torn open, with a patch of blood on it. When he looked into the compartment, he found it was actually the female corpse!

  The female corpse's blue skeletal fingers were all stained with blood, because this icy blue skeleton was not afraid of scorching and corrosion, so Xiaohai's blood had no harm to his hand.

  Wen Baiyu's heart tightened as he realized that this female corpse must have come to capture Xiao Hai, and he wanted the shards of glass that Xiao Hai had swallowed.

  Wen Baiyu blocked Xiaohai and took two steps back, the female corpse was knocked by the door panel, stumbled for a step, and immediately turned around to rush over.

  Wen Baiyu thought that this female corpse was quite persistent, actually chasing all the way to the airport. If she rushed out, it would definitely cause a commotion.

  Wen Baiyu retreated to the edge of the door, took out the Fenggu bone dagger, and at the same time, a fireball emerged from his left hand. He threw it out in one swift motion, and the female corpse leaned sideways with a thud. The fireball smashed onto the ceramic tile floor, and with a "whooshing" sound, the floor was scorched black.

  Wen Baiyu immediately opened the door and let Xiao Hai out, then quickly locked it again.

  Xiao Hai was pushed out by him, stunned for a moment, then quickly ran back to the waiting room.

  Everyone saw Xiaohai return, but he was disheveled and had bloodstains on his body, which shocked them all.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "What about Wen Bai Yu?"

  Xiao Hai said: "The corpse came into the bathroom!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou's eyes narrowed, and he immediately rushed out, running in the direction of the restroom. The door was locked, Wan Qi Jing Hou twisted it a bit, but couldn't open it at all. If he were to kick the door, this being an airport, security and staff would definitely come over.

  A female corpse attacked an airport, and it's expected to be on the headlines this afternoon.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou looked around in a circle and suddenly ran to the side.

  Wen Baiyu locked the door and looked at the female corpse in front of him. He smiled as he turned the dagger in his hand, saying: "Don't want the left hand either?"

  The female corpse's face showed a flash of anger, then suddenly smiled, with a sinister grin, saying: "Return my mirror! My mirror!"

  "Is this really your mirror? Or did you steal it?"

  As soon as he said that, the expression on the female corpse's face stiffened for a moment, which made Wen Baiyu feel that Jiuyi's guess was actually completely correct. This mirror should not be hers, either stolen or robbed.

  The female corpse stared at Wen Baiyu with a sinister gaze and said: "My mirror! Return it to me!"

  She said, suddenly rushed up, Wen Baiyu rolled on the ground, dagger "swish" a swipe, female corpse rushed too fiercely, head-on collision with the door, issued a "thud!" sound, arm was scratched by the dagger.

  Just then, a staff member happened to be walking by outside the door and heard a muffled sound coming from the bathroom door, as if someone had bumped into it. Looking at the door in confusion, there was another "thud" sound, and he couldn't help but walk over, twist the doorknob, and knock on the door, saying: "Is anyone inside? Is there anything I can help with?"

  Wen Baiyu heard the sound outside in the bathroom, feeling a bit tense. The female corpse seemed to ignore these and rushed towards Wen Baiyu frantically, letting out a loud, ear-piercing scream.

  Wen Baiyu really wanted to cover her mouth, it must be clearly audible outside.

  Just then, the window in the bathroom made a slight noise, and Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly grasped the windowsill with both hands and jumped in from outside.

  Wen Baiyu was startled and said: "How did you get in from here?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said calmly: "You locked the door, I think kicking it in isn't a good idea, and you'll have to pay for it."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  The female corpse pounced over, and Wan Xi Jing Hou grabbed her with both hands. With a loud "thud", the female corpse was flung out and smashed into the window glass, which shattered instantly with a "crack". The female corpse seemed to be frightened and jumped out of the window directly.

  Wen Baiyu rushed over and looked down. After the female corpse jumped out, it surprisingly crawled all the way down along the high-rise building, and soon disappeared from sight.

  Wen Baiyu turned his head and said to Wan Kuangjinghou: "The glass is broken, don't you want to compensate?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou grabbed him and said: "There are no surveillance cameras in the bathroom, hurry up."

  Wen Baiyu: “......”

  The staff outside were still knocking on the door, and Jiǔ Mìng was just about to go help when he saw Wàn Suí Jǐnghóu and Wēn Bái Yǔ had already returned. Wēn Bái Yǔ's breathing was a bit urgent as she sat down and looked at Xiǎo Hǎi, saying: "How is the wound?"

  Xiao Hai shook his head, he was caught by the female corpse for only a few seconds, and Wen Baiyu kicked open the door, so the wound wasn't too big.

  "Master, why are you breathing so rapidly?"

  Wen Baiyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Because we climbed back in through the window, I almost died of exhaustion."

  Although there were some twists and turns along the way, everyone quickly boarded a plane back to Beijing.

  Di Liang didn't have any relatives before, but he had bought a house in Beijing previously and hadn't returned for seven years, the house should still be there.

  Di Liang asked Wen Baiyu tactfully before leaving with Xiao Hai, is there any way to avoid poisoning from the toxin in Xiao Hai's body?

  Wen Baiyu immediately thought of two people who must be doing good deeds and didn't want to be disturbed. However, as a Phoenix Bloodline, Wen Baiyu indeed had regenerative and restorative abilities, but that didn't mean she was immune to poison. If anyone was truly immune to poison, it would only be Gan Xue.

  Gan Zhu was a medicine man, his blood could neutralize all poisons, and he had a physique that was immune to all toxins. Wen Baiyu agreed to ask Di Liang to go ask him.

  Everyone returned home, and Wen Baiyu couldn't wait to lie down on the bed and soon fell asleep. The journey was thrilling, but the gains were too little. Not only did she fail to find the other half of the candle dragon scale, but also let the female corpse eat the Jianmu tree branch. The only thing she found was a mirror, which depicted the worship of bamboo.

  Wen Baiyu felt that the mystery was getting bigger and bigger, the fog was swept away by them in one corner, but it revealed a lot of confusion, and I don't know when it will be clear.

  Wen Baiyu was woken up by the sound of moaning, his eyes staring at the ceiling. His house wasn't exactly soundproof, and the noise from the room next door was too loud!

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "Awake?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "The ninth life was called out like killing a cat, of course I woke up."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Hmm, they are giving birth to small fish."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wan Ji Jing Hou stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Wen Bai Yu's waist, pulling him over and saying: "Let's also have a little White Feather, how about that?"

  Who would have thought that Wen Baiyu suddenly rushed over and smiled, saying: "Not bad, Cannon Ash."

  He said, and also bit his lip on Wan Qi Jing Hou's mouth, then turned over and got out of bed, saying: "I want to go to the store and take a look."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou: "......"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou got out of bed and followed Wen Bai Yu out the door, soon arriving at the store where Tang Zi and Gan Zhu were already present. It was just in time for evening, when everyone was busy.

  Wen Baiyu pulled Gan Zhula over and had Wan Xi Jinghou go get a plate, asking if he had anything that could counteract Xiao Hai's poison.

  Gan Zhu thought for a moment and said: "I have indeed seen poisonous clams, this toxin is very overbearing, somewhat like the poison of the horse chestnut."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Ma Qianzi?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou happened to be walking by with a tray, saying: "The Southern Tang Emperor Li Yu was given the poisonous wine of Ma Qianzi, which is a highly potent central stimulant. After ingestion, it will cause ***, triggering spinal shock, skeletal distortion, and the corpse's appearance is usually terrifying."

  Wen Baiyu thought of that day in the hospital, Di Liang and Xiao Hai were still kissing, although they didn't encounter anything afterwards, but this also made Wen Baiyu's back feel a chill.

  Wen Baiyu glanced at Wang Jinghou and said, "Go get the plates."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou just passed by and soon walked away with a plate in hand.

  Gan Zhu nodded and said, "It's this kind of thing, highly toxic. The ancient people used it as a poisonous plant, known as '断肠草' (duan chang cao), which is a highly toxic plant from the Aristolochiaceae family. Generally, the detoxification method is to wash the stomach, inject medicine and so on..."

  Wen Baiyu wiped her face, feeling sweat on her forehead. She mentally replayed the scenes of Di Liang and Xiao Hai getting close, only to end up needing stomach washing, injections, oxygen supply, and emergency rescue every time... it was too beautiful to think about anymore...

  And this toxin reacts violently and invades very quickly, can't kiss while washing stomach!

  Wen Baiyu coughed and said, "Actually, it's like this..."

  He thought it was his own unclear explanation earlier. It's not just a detoxification problem, but rather the removal of toxins or the inhibition of toxins.

  Gan Zhu finally understood his meaning, blinked and said: "The toxin is secreted by itself, I think it's unlikely to remove it, but controlling the toxin is possible. I've seen it in a book, Ye Lang has an ancient bamboo that can control this toxin."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Ye Lang?"

  Gan Zhu nodded and said: "However, the Night Lang only existed in history for three hundred years, and then disappeared. Whether this ancient bamboo still exists or not is really uncertain."

  Wen Baiyu had heard of this ancient country for the second time in a short period, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Perhaps it was fate, as Zou Chengyi happened to be going to Guizhou to investigate news about this ancient country as well.

  Wen Baiyu planned to ask Yu Wei Yang after that, and then tell Di Liang, after all, this disappearing ancient country didn't know where to find that kind of bamboo.

  Hun Dun wore a pair of large, black-rimmed glasses and a high-collared windbreaker, with the collar turned up, walked in from outside, holding an envelope in his hand, saying: "Wen Baiyu, why is there still a letter stuck on your shop door? Does anyone still write letters these days?"

  The white feather is a bit strange. Now it's evening, the store door is closed due to strong winds, but there are still many customers coming in and out. How could someone put a letter on the door?

  The envelope was white, with nothing written on it, and sealed with red wax. Wen Baiyu opened the envelope, inside there was a piece of white paper, and along with the paper, a black feather fell out from inside.

  Wen Baiyu was stunned for a moment, black feathers, could it be the letter sent to him by Zou Chengyi?

  Wen Baiyu hastily opened the letter, and there was only one line of address on it, which was in a villa area in the suburbs of Beijing.

  Wen Bai looked at the row of addresses with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, wondering what Zhōu Chéngyī had noticed. Was it because he was in Guizhou that there were things for him to take care of? But they had already collaborated twice, so couldn't phone calls have taken care of everything? Why go through the trouble of sending a letter with feathers attached - wasn't this just being deliberately mysterious?

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but take out her phone and dialed a number for Zou Cheng.

  Zou Chengyi said: "How did you call me? Did your side get any news? I heard that you encountered an attack at the airport?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Zou Chengyi?"

  "What's wrong?" said Zou Chengyi.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Didn't you send me a letter?"

  Zou Cheng was taken aback for a moment and said, "A letter?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Wasn't it sent by you? A white envelope with nothing written on it, sealed with red wax, containing an address and a black feather."

  Because in the Shenya Mausoleum before, Wen Baiyu already knew that Zou Chengyi was the dumpling he released in Kunlun, but Zou Chengyi was not just a dumpling, only lying in the coffin, as for why he was lying in the coffin, Zou Chengyi did not say.

  The feathers from last time were indeed left by Zou Chengyi.

  But apparently not this time.

  Zou Cheng paused for a moment and said: "I didn't send you a letter, what did it say, what's the address?"

  Wen Baiyu read it out to him, just an address of a villa in the suburbs.

  Zou Chengyi's activity scope is not in Beijing, nor has he ever bought a villa there. He said: "I don't know this address either, Wen Baiyu, be careful, from the mirror tomb of Donghai, it's not hard to see that my clan has already appeared with differences, I'm afraid it's someone else."

  Wen Baiyu said: "I know, you be careful too. I reckon in a few days we'll also go to Guizhou to find you."

  "What? Have you got news? We haven't had any news here yet. The ancient state of Night Lang only existed for 300 years, and many people have concluded that the capital of Night Lang was constantly changing, making it even harder to find. Moreover, the density of tombs is very high here, with tombs from different periods stacked on top of each other, and some are even overlapping, making our task even more daunting."

  Wen Baiyu coughed and said, "Actually, I heard that in Ye Lang there is a kind of bamboo as thick as a hug, which can counteract the toxicity of Xiao Hai. I reckon Di Liang will definitely go find it."

  Zou Cheng smiled and said, "I understand. I'll pay attention to this kind of bamboo, but I haven't seen it yet."

  They made a phone call, the atmosphere was quite low at first, and a black feather appeared again, but this time it wasn't Zou Chengyi. Later on, when the two of them mentioned Di Liang and Xiao Hai, they probably had already imagined the same thing, so the atmosphere relaxed, and they were chatting and laughing, actually mostly gloating...

  Wan Xi Jing Hou finished ordering food and saw Wen Bai Yu smiling and chatting with someone on the phone for over ten minutes before hanging up.

  Wan Qi Jinghou walked over and said: "Who are you calling?"

  Wen Baiyu waved his mobile phone and said: "Zou Chengyi."

  He said, handing the envelope to Wan Jie Jing Hou, "This letter was not sent by Zou Chengyi."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow, and Wen Bai Yu said: "What to do? Shall we go take a look?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou sneered and crumpled the letter, throwing it directly into the wastebasket. "You're just pretending to be mysterious," he said. "You want us to let bygones be bygones? Then we won't go."

  Wen Baiyu was very curious, but Wan Jingshou said don't go and see, Wen Baiyu thought it's better not to go and see, who knows what's waiting for them.

  The next evening, Wen Baiyu saw a white envelope at the door of the store again. It was the same as last time - a white envelope with no words on it, sealed with wax. When opened, a black feather fell out, and inside was still a piece of paper with the address of yesterday's suburban villa and a row of words.

  There's something you want to know.

  Next to the word, a few strokes were scribbled, which turned out to be a strange snake, the same as the one they saw in the Guangchuan King's tomb, also a kind of medicine that can cure strange diseases.

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback for a moment. This person knew what they were looking for, and apparently he might know where the suppressant drug they were searching for was located.

  Wen Baiyu was getting restless this time, the legs of the beast were still unable to move, although it hadn't worsened, but he couldn't be crippled for life, and didn't know when the illness would strike again. The pain Wen Baiyu had witnessed on Wen Cang and Zou Chengyi was simply unbearable, they definitely had to find this kind of medicinal pill.

  Wen Baiyu handed the letter to Wan Jie Jinghou, who knew that Wen Baiyu was anxious in his heart and looked like he had no choice but to go.

  Hua Snake shares the same view as Wan Qi Jing Hou on this letter, saying: "Perhaps it's a trap."

  The beast pouted its mouth and perked up its ears, saying: "Master, let's not go, we'll think of another way."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stood up at this time and said to Wen Bai Yu: "Do you want to go?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded, and Wan Qi Jinghou said: "Actually, going is not a problem. This person can appear at the door of the store twice without being detected, and even if we don't go, we will be caught off guard."

  The monster said: "Then I'll go too!"

  "Stay put and don't run off again."

  The beast pouted and said: "I'm being hugged by a snake every day now, how can I run away?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu thought, what does "xiu en ai" mean!

  The next day, Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou went to the villa in the suburbs according to this address.

  The address was very remote, in the suburbs. They went out after lunch because neither of them could drive, so they took the bus. As a result, they got stuck in traffic and arrived at their destination when the sun had already set.

  A cluster of villas, no cars can reach there, after taking a bus, they still need to walk a long way in.

  The road is extremely desolate, with potholes all over the ground. Fortunately, it hasn't rained in days, or else it would be muddy. Although it's a cement road, it looks like it has been neglected for years and lacks maintenance. The trees on both sides are withered, the sky is darkening, and the wind blows, causing leaves to fly everywhere.

  Wen Baiyu was blown by the cool wind and shivered, saying: "This is not a villa area, it's clearly a haunted house."

  The sky was completely dark, and there were only a few scattered streetlights on the side of the road, with about one-third of them not lit up. The darkness was overwhelming, and they could barely see the road ahead. Fortunately, there were no cars, and the wide road allowed them to walk sideways.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the villas on both sides and said, "Why aren't any of them lit up? Are they all uninhabited?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "There should be no one living here, and there are no security guards at the entrance of the community."

  Wen Baiyu said: "It can't be a haunted house, right?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou pulled his hand and they walked forward together. Soon, they saw the villa they were looking for, numbered 17.

  Two people walked past, the iron gate outside the villa was open, and because it had been a long time, a lot of dust had accumulated.

  Wen Baiyu was about to push open the iron gate when he suddenly felt something was off. Upon closer inspection, he found a handprint on the door because it had accumulated a lot of dust, and pushing it would definitely leave a handprint behind.

  "Wen Baiyu said softly: 'Someone has gone in?'"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou made a silencing gesture, Wen Bai Yu nodded, and the two of them sidled through the iron gate. In front of the villa was a small garden, but it wasn't big. After passing through it, they arrived at the villa's building, a three-story small building that should have been quite unique when it was built, but now it had an air of desolation.

  There were also footprints on the ground in front of the villa door, and they were two rows of different footprints.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "There are only those who enter, no one comes out, they should still be inside."

  He said, and gently pushed the door, the door was not locked, two people went in, inside a darkness.

  Wen Bai looked at the scene in front of her in surprise, it was actually an empty house, there was no furniture at all, as soon as she walked in, it was empty and very cool, there was absolutely no feeling of anyone having lived there.

  The letter had this address on it, but the villa was empty and hollow, I don't know what it means.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou pulled Wen Bai Yu inside, just as they heard a faint creaking sound. A door on the second floor was pushed open, followed by the flash of a flashlight. Someone emerged from within.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou just wanted to take Wen Bai Yu and hide, but then he clearly saw the person holding the flashlight, who was actually Di Liang, with Xiao Hai by his side.

  Wen Baiyu also saw it and said in surprise: "Di Liang?"

  Di Liang and Xiao Hai walked out from inside, unexpectedly someone came in, Xiao Hai was startled, Di Liang looked at them and said: "How did you get here?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "I was just about to ask you, how did you guys run over here? Did you also receive the letter?"

  Di Liang said: "Letter? What letter?"

  Di Liang's reaction was that he obviously didn't know what message.

  Wen Baiyu wanted to try turning on the light, but this house seemed to have no electricity, and there were no light bulbs either. They couldn't turn on the lights at all. They didn't bring flashlights, only Di Liang had one on his hand.

  Di Liang said: "After I came back, I went to see the teacher's relatives. When they were sorting out the teacher's belongings, they found that the teacher had a villa under his name, and they were all surprised. They came to take a look, and there was nothing in this villa, it was empty, and no one knew what it was used for. Moreover, it is said that this villa is a dead zone, actually the feng shui is not good, can't be sold, and nobody lives here. I didn't think of coming myself, but I found this in the teacher's work log."

  He said, handing an old notebook to Wen Baiyu. Wen Baiyu took a look at the contents of the notebook under the light of his flashlight.

  Everything was normal at first, studying what, doing what experiments, failing or succeeding.

  She flipped through two pages and suddenly opened her eyes wide, saying: "Ye Lang?"

  Di Liang nodded and said, "You can continue watching."

  The strange content on the log is increasing, and there are many strange drawings. Although they are rough sketches, they make people feel eerie. Many children are drawn in the pictures, but their eyes are replaced with holes, making them look like ghosts.

  Under a date, Di Liang's teacher wrote in extremely sloppy handwriting, looking like he was very excited when writing it, and on top of that, it said that he had discovered a secret of the Night Lang Kingdom.

  Historically, the ancient state of Yelang only had a history of about 300 years. There was also a story called "Yelang's arrogance" - The King of Dian said to the Han envoy: "How can Han be compared to me?" The Marquis of Yelang also thought so. Since the roads were not connected, they each considered themselves the master of one state and did not know that Han was vast and powerful.

  However, Yelang Ancient Country was actually a large country in the southwest, occupying a vast territory at that time, with strong and elite military forces. The Marquis of Yelang had the capital to be arrogant indeed.

  Three hundred years later, the Night Lang State suddenly disappeared, which has been debated in the academic community for a long time and there is no conclusion yet. Many people think that the Night Lang State did not disappear, and many poems also reveal the existence of the Night Lang.

  Di Liang's teacher discovered a secret related to this, and the Night Lang Kingdom did not exist for only three hundred years. An old friend of his brought him astonishing news, discovering an ancient burial ground that could be evidence left behind by the Night Lang Kingdom.

  Di Liang's teacher was very cautious in recording this, he first wrote something but it became unclear, scratched out with a pen and then erased with glue tape, indeed nothing can be seen. The back is just a few brief nouns, apparently Di Liang's teacher did not dare to record rashly, fearing others would discover.

  Guizhou, ancient post road, tide, old bamboo.

  Four words, really unbelievable.

  Wen Baiyu felt more and more eerie as he looked at it, raised his head to glance at Di Liang, who signaled him to continue looking.

  Wen Baiyu continued to flip through, and on the next page was a mirror, it was the same mirror they found in the Mirror Tomb!

  Wen Baiyu suddenly thought, Di Liang said that when they encountered a change, the teacher kept shouting that the mirror was going to eat people, but Di Liang had never seen the mirror before. Moreover, according to what Di Liang said, the female corpse was lying in the coffin, and the mirror was behind her back. How could Di Liang's teacher know that the mirror was eating people?

  The only explanation is that Di Liang's teacher had long known that there was a mirror in the tomb, and the mirror would eat people. So when the disturbance occurred and many people died at that time, Di Liang's teacher immediately thought of the mirror eating people.

  Turning to the next page, the research on Night Lang suddenly stopped, and it is not clear what happened. The front was clearly studied with great enthusiasm, but there was nothing behind.

  The record of that day had only one address, and the address recorded was this villa.

  The work log behind has become much more normal and there is no absurd place until Di Liang's teacher discovered the female corpse tomb, and then began to plan the science examination team.

  "So this villa is your teacher's, and it must have something to do with the Night Lang Kingdom?"

  Di Liang nodded and said, "I feel that way too. But these notes were left by the teacher a long time ago, when I was still in middle school. The teacher didn't mention a word to me about it, not even his family members knew there was such a villa. I found it strange, so I decided to come and take a look. However, after circling around three times, this entire villa is empty, without even electricity or water pipes connected, really don't know what it's used for."

  Wen Baiyu also found it strange. He had only seen Di Liang's corpse and hadn't spoken to him before, so even Di Liang couldn't understand, let alone him.

  Another strange thing about Wen Baiyu is that the person who wrote the letter asked them to come over, but it's unlikely that they just wanted to see Di Liang. The person who wrote the letter didn't even know when they would arrive themselves, so how could they have arranged for Di Liang to be there at exactly the right time? It must be a coincidence. He thought Wen Baiyu would see something, and it couldn't be just this.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The notes are collected, let's go upstairs and take a look."

  Di Liang put away his notebook and handed the flashlight to Wen Baiyu. Wen Baiyu took the flashlight and followed Wan Qi Jinghou up to the second floor first.

  Di Liang and Xiao Hai followed behind.

  The stairs were made of wood, exuding an air of age and dampness, the wood had already begun to mold, it was a bit unbearable, they creaked as they went up "creak...creak...", as if they would break at any moment.

  Everyone went upstairs. There were many rooms on the second floor. They pushed open the doors, and every room was filled with dust. Inside, there was still nothing, and you could see everything at a glance.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou looked around in a circle and then walked up to the third floor. Similarly, there was nothing, all empty.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stood at the staircase on the third floor and said, "Something is off."

  "What's wrong?"

  Wan Xi Jinghou let him use a flashlight to shine on the ground and said, "This villa, not even wiring has been installed, but flooring has been laid, and the corners of the walls have been wrapped with edges. It's obvious that it has been renovated."

  He said that, and everyone finally knew where the weirdness was. Indeed, they had been walking all the way, and it was the creaking floorboards that were making the "creaking" sound.

  Xiao Hai has always lived at the bottom of the sea and hasn't seen anything before, so he's a bit scared now, grabbing Di Liang's sleeve.

  Diliang comforted him saying: "It's okay, we'll leave soon."

  Xiaohai nodded and then said: "I think... there's something in this room."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Is there something? Can you feel anything?'"

  Xiaohai shook her head, pointing only at her own chest and said: "I don't know, but I feel a bit uncomfortable in my chest."

  Di Liang looked at Xiao Hai with some tension and said: "Are you uncomfortable? Why didn't you say so earlier, I'll take you out first."

  Xiao Hai shook his head and said, "No need, just a little, I don't want to disturb you from your busy work."

  "Wen Baiyu said: "Is your chest uncomfortable?""

  "Mirror."

  As soon as he spoke, Di Liang also remembered that there was a reflective surface on Xiao Hai's chest, which was a shard of glass. After taking Xiao Hai back, he also wanted to help Xiao Hai remove the glass, although Xiao Hai said it didn't hurt and wasn't uncomfortable, but after all, it was still a piece of glass, Zou Chengyi said it was bone, in Xiao Hai's body, Di Liang was not at ease.

  Di Liang took Xiao Hai to the hospital, and the doctor asked Xiao Hai to take a chest X-ray. As a result, not only could the film not be taken out, but the doctor also found that Xiao Hai's bones were not right.

  Xiao Hai himself was a clam, so he didn't have bones. After transforming into a human, his body was very soft, and it's certain that his bones weren't right. Di Liang feared the doctor would think Xiao Hai was a monster, so he never took him to the hospital again.

  Xiao Hai always said it didn't hurt, but now he has a reaction.

  So this problem must have occurred in this villa.

  The villa has problems...

  But where is the problem?

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "It should be something related to the mirror, perhaps mutual restraint and mutual attraction can make Xiao Hai feel it."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Where exactly is it? Can you sense it, Xiao Hai?"

  Xiao Hai shook his head and said: "I don't know, but it's quite weak. When I first came in, I didn't feel anything, it wasn't until I went upstairs that I felt a bit."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Upstairs? The thing hidden in that villa should be on the second or third floor?"

  Xiaohai also couldn't make it clear, and everyone was walking back and forth between the second and third floors, but to no avail.

  They came down from upstairs and returned to the first floor, because Xiao Hai had been in this villa for too long and felt stifled, his complexion was not good, Di Liang said he would come again another day.

  Wen Baiyu also felt that way, now it's pitch black, nothing can be seen at all, and the person who sent them a letter is likely to be hiding around, waiting for daytime is a wise choice.

  Everyone was about to leave the villa, and just as they stepped out of the door, Xiao Hai suddenly stopped and said, "No."

  Di Liang said: "What's wrong, Xiao Hai?"

  Xiaohai grabbed him and walked into the villa, saying: "No, it's not a matter of high or low floors, but inside and outside. It should be deep in the villa, the further you go in, the more obvious."

  Everyone listened, and it turned out that they had found the wrong way. Di Liang hurriedly followed Xiao Hai to go inside, Xiao Hai kept going inside, went up to the second floor, pushed open a room, walked in, then walked onto the balcony of the room, looking down at the backyard of the villa below, which was desolate and empty, with nothing but land.

  Xiao Hai lowered his head and looked down, suddenly covering his chest with his hand, saying: "Downstairs, downstairs... in the yard..."

  Xiaohai's breathing was a bit labored, Di Liang looked at him worriedly and said: "Xiaohai, are you not feeling well? Let's go out first."

  Xiao Hai shook his head and said: "There's something in the soil..."

  Wan Jingshou jumped from the second floor balcony and landed on the ground with a "thud". Wen Baiyu also jumped from the second floor balcony, but he didn't have Wan Jingshou's agility, and stepped on the first floor balcony before jumping down.

  The ground of the courtyard was all dirt, Wan Zong Jing Hou squatted down to touch it, then took out a dagger and started digging, Wen Bai Yu also squatted down to dig together.

  After digging for a long time, he saw a metal steel plate in the soil. Wan Qi Jing Hou knocked on it and stretched out his hand to touch it, saying: "Tungsten steel."

  "Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Tungsten steel? What is the use of Master Di Liang's teacher making such a large piece of tungsten steel in his own courtyard? What is being pressed underneath? Is it to prevent things from running out?"

  The steel plate was very thick and solid. Wan Zongjinghou stood up, suddenly jumped up, and climbed back onto the balcony along the railing.

  Looking up at the white feathers, he suddenly felt like a day-laborer dog, and could only climb up with difficulty. He wanted to transform into a swan goose and fly up, which would save energy, but once he transformed, his clothes would be ruined. He didn't want to traverse Beijing naked.

  Wen Baiyu climbed up and saw Wan Jinhou tapping on the floorboard, then suddenly stretched out his hand to pry at the edge of the floorboard. With a "crack", he pried up the floorboard in one go.

  There was actually a wrench under the floor.

  "What's an agency?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and said: "I'm going in, you guys get ready, don't know what's inside. Especially Xiao Hai."

  Because of the "resonance" between Xiao Hai and that thing, Di Liang took Xiao Hai into the room and let Xiao Hai stand behind the wall to block it.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out three fingers, then changed to two, and finally raised one. With a "click", the steel plate in the courtyard suddenly made a "creaking" sound and slowly opened from the middle...

  Wen Baiyu let out a "huh?" and took a deep breath, her eyes widening involuntarily...
