Chapter 86 Bronze Cauldron 1
Wen Baiyu was furious and threw all those things out of the box, it was a wonder he had stuffed them in for half a day.
Mo Xiang said lightly: "Then go buy it at the convenience store on that side, anyway they have it everywhere."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu bought a ticket to Jinhua and first went home to visit his two uncles. Wen Kai had gone with them to the Guangcang Wangmu last time, and after using the dan medicine, that strange illness did not recur. After all, Wen Kai was already considered a very collateral member of the Shenya tribe, unlike Zou Chengyi.
Wen Ke later went to Yangzhou and found that the old mansion had been empty for a long time. Just like what Wen Baiyu and Wang Jihou heard before, Zou Chengyi disappeared at the age of 16 and was confirmed dead. The old mansion of the Zou family had also been vacant for many years, and it was said to be haunted.
Wen Baiyu actually knew about this matter long ago, and Zhou Chengyi himself was not called Zhou Chengyi. As for what he was really called, Zhou Chengyi had said that it wasn't time to tell them yet. They hadn't even seen the real Zhou Chengyi; from start to finish, it was all just a borrowed name.
Wen Baiyu said: "Uncle doesn't have to worry about this matter, I am now in contact with Zou Chengyi, anyway the goal is the same, we all want to cure this strange disease."
Wen Ke frowned and said, "I and your uncle didn't want you to get involved in this line of work originally, but there were too many unavoidable circumstances. Don't tell your uncle about it, or he'll worry again."
Wen Baiyu nodded and said, "Don't worry."
Wen Baiyu said he would stay in Jinhua for a day and take the train to Xuzhou tomorrow morning.
Wen Kai heard they were going to Xuzhou and immediately furrowed his brow, saying: "What are you going to do in Xuzhou?"
Wen Baiyu said: "Nothing in particular, just taking a stroll and going to Xuzhou for fun."
Wen Ke looked at them with a skeptical gaze, clearly not believing that Wen Bai Yu was going on vacation. "Xuzhou has been quite unstable lately," he said. "If you're just going to play around, then don't go to Xuzhou."
Wen Baiyu glanced at Wan Jingshou, who furrowed his brow and said, "What's wrong?"
Wen Kai said: "Recently, there have been several groups of people from the countryside gathering in Xuzhou. Although I'm no longer in this line of work, I still have some connections and heard about it. It's just happened in the past day or two, many people have all rushed over."
"What are they looking for?"
Wen Kai said: "Someone spread the news on the road, saying that a large tomb of the Qin Dynasty was found near Xuzhou, and it is related to the story of Qin Shi Huang's bronze tripod. Everyone rushed to see the bronze tripod."
Wen Baiyu was taken aback, where did this news come from? Did that person know their movements again?
Wen Kai said: "There are so many local rascals in Xuzhou, you'd better not go there, change your route. It's just that going anywhere for fun is not allowed."
He finished speaking, and Wen Baiyu fell silent. Wen Sui had already seen that he wasn't going to play along, and Wen Baiyu could only admit it. In fact, they were also going for the Bronze Tripod, but they didn't expect so many people to gather together.
Wen Kai was worried about them leaving, but at this time Wen Jiu Mu had already returned from the company. He knew that Wen Bai Yu had come to stay and of course would leave work early. Wen Kai was afraid he would worry, so he didn't say anything else.
In the evening, Wen Baiyu was about to enter his room to sleep when Wen Yue stopped him and said: "I still advise you not to go, but you're also grown up and have your own thoughts. If you must go, listen more to General Wan Jingshou."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu was suddenly speechless and said: "Uncle, am I your nephew?"
Wen Kai thought for a moment and said: "It's really not, I picked it up from the tomb."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu slammed the door shut in anger, thinking to herself, "Why does Wan Kuang look just like your nephew/son?"
Wen Baiyu entered the room and saw that Wan Jiahao had already finished his bath and was lying on the bed, with his upper body exposed outside the quilt. It was November, but he was still bare-chested, which was simply nerve-wracking.
Wan Qi Jing Hou saw him coming in and said: "Go take a bath, I've already prepared the water for you."
Wen Baiyu felt a bit tense, but didn't know what he was tense about. Looking at the muscles on Wang Jingshou's body made him feel a little dry-mouthed and tongue-tied. "Oh" he said, as he stepped into the bathroom with his left foot first.
Wen Baiyu spent almost an hour washing and bathing, soaking until his whole body was soft before coming out. He was actually nervous, wrapped in a bathrobe from the bathroom, but saw that the outside had already turned off the lights, leaving only the bedside lamp on.
Wan Xi Jing Hou was already lying in bed, his eyes closed, breathing very softly, as if he had fallen asleep.
Wen Baiyu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood that stuck to his chest, unable to spit it out or swallow it. He had been tense for half the day, but in the end, he actually fell asleep!
Wen Baiyu irritably pulled open the quilt and dove in. Before long, Wan Jingshou naturally stretched out his hand to hug him tightly, holding him close as he nuzzled his hair with his chin.
Wen Baiyu turned his head to one side and saw that Wan Jingshou was completely asleep, so he didn't bother him. He reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, but just as Wen Baiyu was about to fall asleep, Wan Jingshou's leg inserted itself between his legs, pinning them in place.
Wen Baiyu felt a bit helpless, as Wan Xi Jing Hou slept completely, treating himself as a big pillow, insisting on hugging him tightly, and couldn't be pushed away, so he could only endure the oppressive feeling and continue sleeping.
Wen Baiyu was disturbed by Wan Kuangjinghou for a whole night, and as soon as he fell asleep, he had a nightmare. In the dream, he saw himself circling in an ancient tomb, with a thousand-pound weight falling on his chest and legs. He stretched out his hand to push it away, but it didn't budge.
Later, I don't know how to escape from under the thousand-pound gate, and then dream of having zongzi chasing myself, with a piece of blackness around me. He calls himself Wan Qi Jing Hou, but Wan Qi Jing Hou is not there. Finally, he sees a strange person who tells him that he has found the next Jianmu fragment, which is a person...
Wen Bai's eyes opened wide, outside was still gray and misty, she turned her head to the side, the alarm clock on the bedside table showed 5 o'clock in the morning...
Wen Baiyu looked down at her own chest, and it was simply a dog's day, no wonder she had a nightmare. Wan Qi Jing Hou's arm was still pressed against her chest, and his legs were still clamped around hers, almost tying herself into a rice dumpling.
Wen Baiyu was struggling violently in his dream, but Wan Jingshou had actually woken up and called out to him twice. However, Wen Baiyu just couldn't wake up, so Wan Jingshou could only hold him tightly.
Who would have known that Wen Baiyu was having this dream, and the more he hugged her, the more terrifying her nightmare became.
Wan Xi Jinghou opened his eyes, his voice still a bit hoarse, saying: "Awake? Too early, sleep for a while longer, the train is in the afternoon."
Wen Baiyu irritably pushed away his hand, and Wan Qi Jinghou's voice early in the morning had a serious wake-up call tone, sounding unusually sexy, making Wen Baiyu's heart beat rapidly, having already accelerated her heartbeat in the dream just now, and now she was going to accelerate it again.
The two of them lay there for another hour, with Wan Xi Jing Hou constantly teasing him, hugging him and kissing his lips, biting his ear, and blowing hot air on him. He knew that Wen Bai Yu liked to hear his husky voice, so he deliberately lowered his voice and spoke next to Wen Bai Yu's ear.
Wen Baiyu was so angry that she grabbed Wan Jiahui's shoulder and bit his lip hard, instantly breaking a small hole.
Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly didn't feel any pain, his breathing became heavy, he grabbed Wen Bai Yu and kissed him back, crazily kissing his lips, his tongue entering his mouth, entwining with Wen Bai Yu's tongue.
Wen Baiyu's tongue/head were all wooden, feeling that he shouldn't have provoked Wang Qi Jing Hou this madman. At half past six, Wen Baiyu finally couldn't bear it and got out of bed.
Wen Ke and Wen Jiu Mu were already in the restaurant, and when they saw Wen Bai Yu come out, they were surprised for a moment. Wen Jiu Mu smiled and said: "Your breakfast is still hot on the stove, I thought you might get up late today."
Wen Jiu Mu's smile with deep meaning made Wen Bai Yu's face flush, and he himself went into the kitchen to bring out the hot porridge that was on the fire.
Wen Baiyu was about to leave the kitchen when he saw Wan Kuang Jinghou walk in with a refreshed expression. As he passed by, he naturally lowered his head and kissed Wen Baiyu's neck.
Wen Baiyu suddenly shrunk her neck and almost threw away the porridge in her hand.
The two had breakfast, Wen Sui and Wen Jiu Mu were going to work, while Wen Bai Yu and Wan Qi Jing Hou chose to stay at home. After lunch, they prepared to rush to the train.
The train tickets were bought by Wen Lei for them, two business-class tickets. It was Wen Baiyu's first time taking a business-class seat. After all, Wen Baiyu didn't have as much money as his two uncles, and he always bought the cheapest train tickets. The price of business-class seats exceeded that of ordinary tickets by three or four times, which wasn't quite worth it.
Two people got on the train and put their luggage on the luggage rack.
Business class seats are made of leather and have a sofa-like design. One side has double seats, while the other side of the aisle has single seats. The space is very ample and the privacy is also good.
The main thing is that there are very few business travelers and November is also a low season for tourism, so most of them are empty.
Wen Baiyu and the others sat in the front row, with the back row empty. The rows behind them were all full, and those people seemed to be together, carrying a lot of luggage, and the luggage racks on both sides were almost filled up.
Wen Baiyu looked back curiously, and Wan Jingshou pulled him down to sit, adjusting the chair for him. He flipped out the footrest, and the leather chair instantly transformed into a large leather bed where he could stretch his legs out and lie down.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou also turned his chair into a bed, lay down sideways and looked at Wen Bai Yu.
Wen Baiyu always felt that lying on the train like this, and looking at each other in pairs, was a bit too embarrassing.
Wen Baiyu sat up, and Wan Xizonghou whispered: "Move again and I'll kiss you."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Last night didn't sleep well, slept for a while, almost four hours later, arrived and I'll call you."
Wen Baiyu was indeed very tired, last night had a nightmare, so she could only close her eyes and soon fell asleep in a daze.
The group of people behind us became very noisy after the train started moving, adjusting their seats to face each other, seemingly playing cards together while laughing loudly and telling off-color jokes.
Wen Baiyu slept for an hour and was woken up by those people. She was a bit dazed, opened her eyes and rubbed the sleep off.
Wan Xi Jing Hou saw him staring blankly with his eyes open, still dazed in his eyes, and his heart was slightly moved. He leaned forward, his body leaning forward, and kissed his lips.
Wen Baiyu hadn't woken up yet and was still dazedly letting him kiss her, even reaching out to grab onto Wang Qi Jing Hou's collar.
Her long hair, tied up with a white ribbon, was slightly disheveled, contrasting with her flushed face. Her lips were bitten red and swollen by Wang Qi Jing Hou, still bearing the marks of his kisses.
At this time, someone walked past from behind, preparing to go to the bathroom, and saw Wen Baiyu kissing a man. He couldn't see Wan Qi Jing Hou, Wan Qi Jing Hou was facing away with his back, but that figure was absolutely a man.
That person took a look and suddenly burst out laughing, then didn't go to the restroom anymore, ran back to his seat, laughing and saying: "In front of me there's a rabbit grandfather with long hair, oh my, he's actually hitting it off with a man, and I have to say, that rabbit grandfather looks pretty good, I'm...".
He said to this point, suddenly saw someone sitting up in front, Wan Xi Jing Hou's body was very tall, after sitting up his head would just expose the back of the chair, he slightly raised his body, looked back and took a glance.
The person who was speaking got halfway through, and the second half of his words suddenly all stuck in his throat. He stared wide-eyed and stuttered: "Or... originally it was Master Jing ah..."
The person behind spoke in a not-so-soft voice, and the entire carriage could probably hear it. Wen Baiyu woke up with a start, staring at Wan Jinhao, who said calmly, "Nothing's wrong."
After finishing speaking, Wen Baiyu heard those people calling Wan Qi Jinghou "Jing Ye", a title that only people in the underworld would use.
Wen Baiyu suddenly understood, it turned out that those people were actually local tyrants, and they seemed to be heading to Xuzhou as well.
Those people saw Wan Gui Jing Hou and were like seeing a ghost, trembling with fear, not daring to speak again. They never thought that Wan Gui Jing Hou actually liked men, but even if he did, they didn't dare say another word.
Wan Qi Jing Hou's style on the road is very hard, it has faded out in recent years, but once mentioned, it still makes people afraid.
Those people were all rough and unrefined, except for one person who wasn't playing cards with them. He sat alone by the window, dozing off with his eyes closed. His hair was clean and tidy, his facial features slightly sharp, and he wore a light gray windbreaker. His long fingers were interlaced on top of his clothes, his fingernails neatly trimmed into squares, and his joints didn't protrude, making his hands look soft and boneless. The others called him "Master Jing", and he couldn't help but open his eyes to glance at Wang Qiuhou, but soon closed them again.
Those people saw Wan Jie Jing Hou and couldn't help but start trembling. One of them approached, smiling and said: "Is Master Jing also going to Xuzhou?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't make a sound, that person secretly took a glance at Wen Bai Yu, Wen Bai Yu had already tied up her hair and sat up leaning against the chair, with her hand propping up her chin, looking at the scenery outside the window.
That man smiled and said, "Master Jing is also after the treasure, right? In that case, why don't we join forces? If we can find the treasure, my brothers are willing to let Master Jing take the lion's share. What do you say?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou is not good at partnering with others, this is a well-known thing in the Taoist community. He always likes to work alone, but many tombs can't be completed by one person, so Wan Qi Jing Hou will also partner with others. However, his partnership fees are very high. As long as Wan Qi Jing Hou is there, he will definitely find the tomb you're looking for.
These people aren't stupid, they met Wan Jie Jing Hou on the train. So many local rascals want to go to Xuzhou, which means that Wan Jie Jing Hou is also interested in going to Xuzhou, at least he's interested. Everyone will definitely try to pull him into their team, otherwise it would be an additional strong enemy, and it would be a loss. It's better to spend some money to get him on board.
But the problem is that someone just said something they shouldn't have, and it seems that General Wan Yue's attitude towards that young man with long hair is quite good, not as cold as he usually is to others.
Wan Xi Jing Hou still didn't speak, he just let out a cold laugh.
That person's face couldn't hold on anymore, and in the end, he could only lift his butt and leave, sitting back down.
Before arriving at the station, Wan Jie Jing Hou went to the restroom. The people behind were only afraid of Wan Jie Jing Hou and not afraid of Wen Bai Yu. Wen Bai Yu looked very gentle and had slender arms and legs, which didn't seem threatening at all. Everyone saw him hugging/kissing Wan Jie Jing Hou and thought that Wen Bai Yu was a kept boy of Wan Jie Jing Hou's, so they didn't take him seriously.
Those people reluctantly and sourly said: "Isn't he just a pretty face? He became the poster child and even got a plaque."
Another person lowered his voice and said: "Haozi, you'd better say that we've already provoked someone we shouldn't have. This time is crucial, don't cause any more trouble for me."
The person who called him a wastrel was still not convinced, and since Wan Xi Jing Hou hadn't returned yet, he said: "I didn't say anything wrong either. Besides, what's wrong with having a pretty face? Our team has them too, isn't that right, Little Mo? Come on, Little Mo, go get Jing Ye."
He was speaking when Wan Gui Jing Hou returned, his face didn't look good, as if he had heard what Hao Zi said.
At the same time, the young man with the surname Mo by the window also opened his eyes, his overlapping hands opened, and he pinched his windbreaker. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and just heard a "bang!" The mouse's head suddenly jerked back, as if it had been hit by something, and its head knocked against the window, even startling the flight attendant.
Haozi was knocked dizzy, looked down and saw that a button had fallen off his body. The light gray button was the same as the one on the windbreaker of the young man with the surname Mo. The button hit him under the chin, and there was a salty sweet taste in his mouth. He licked his tongue and suddenly spat out a "pa" sound, and unexpectedly spat out a tooth.
Haozi stood up and immediately wanted to fight, but was stopped by the man from earlier. Haozi said: "Big brother, don't stop me, today I'll beat that little pretty boy to death."
The big brother quickly pressed him down, then turned his head to smile and apologize to the young man with the surname Mo, saying: "Master Uncle, don't mind him, he's got a dog's mouth that eats shit in the morning. You're a magnanimous person, don't bother with him."
The young man with the surname Mo closed his eyes again and didn't say a word.
Wan Jie Jing Hou saw that the person who called him a wastrel had lost a tooth, and with a cold glance, he sat down. If Wan Jie Jing Hou had struck back, it wouldn't have been just one tooth that was lost, but an entire mouthful of teeth.
The three-hour train ride was quite exciting. When we arrived at the station, Wan Xiu Jing Hou stood up and took the initiative to carry our luggage, a suitcase and a handbag. He held one in each hand, put the backpack on his back, and then turned around to say: "Be careful, there are many people getting off the train, don't get lost."
Wen Baiyu nodded and followed behind.
Those people saw Wan Kuang Jing Hou being so cautious with Wen Bai Yu, and they were all a little frightened in their hearts.
They came out of the station and wanted to take a taxi to the reserved hotel. Before they could hail a taxi, a black business car stopped in front of them.
The car window came down, and inside was a man in his thirties wearing a black suit, looking very dignified with an elegant gentlemanly air, appearing quite mature and steady, a typical smiling tiger.
The man smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Wan Qi has come to Xuzhou and is also interested in this matter? I am here to sincerely invite Mr. Wan Qi, the price will be set by Mr. Wan Qi."
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at him and said: "I wonder if Master Peng is also interested?"
Mr. Peng smiled and said, "Indeed, I'm a bit interested. How about it, Mr. Wanxi? Are you willing to cooperate?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "I have a team already."
He said, pointing at Wen Baiyu, Wen Baiyu didn't recognize this person, and it seemed that this Peng Ye was also a figure in the underworld.
Mr. Peng smiled with a good temper, his face didn't show any emotion, and said: "It's a pity that Mr. Wan Qi wasn't invited. Here is my business card, if we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, you can contact me at any time."
He said without moving, the driver in front had already opened the door and handed a business card to Wan Qi Jing Hou with both hands. Wan Qi Jing Hou took it and put it in his pocket, and the car drove away quickly.
"What kind of person is that?"
Wan Qi Jinghou frowned as he watched the black sedan drive away, saying: "People on the road call him Peng Ye, and it's said that at home he's the fourth in line. Some people also call him Fourth Master. He's considered half a gangster because he doesn't fight, but he's an indicator of the gangster world's winds. Wherever he appears, there must be good things. It seems that Xuzhou is going to be lively this time."
Two people took a taxi and were about to head to the hotel, Wen Baiyu was really curious, with so many people inviting Wan Qi Jing Hou to join forces, he didn't know how much the cost of joining forces would be.
Wan Qi Jing Hou listened to his question and raised an eyebrow, saying: "It depends on the size of the tomb and its difficulty."
He paused and said: "If you've already found a good spot for the grave, don't bother thinking about it, just go dig..."
He said, his hand drew a six in the air.
Wen Baiyu's jaw almost dropped, a six-figure number?
Wen Baiyu said: "What if the location of the tomb is not found? There are big zongzi and so on inside."
Wan Qi Jing Hou smiled and drew a seven.
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that this boss couldn't afford to raise an apprentice...
Wen Baiyu got off the taxi under the heavy blow, and the hotel was also booked by Wen Sai for them. Wen Sai said he was a member and it would be cheaper to use his membership card.
Wen Baiyu looked up and suddenly couldn't find her bearings - such a luxurious hotel?
Two people got out of the taxi, and the doorman helped them with their luggage and pushed open the door for them. Just then, a young man who looked to be about twenty-five or six years old came walking towards them, looking similar in age to Wen Baiyu.
Wen Baiyu recognized him at a glance, this person was the young man with the surname Mo on the train, his hand left a deep impression.
Wen Baiyu couldn't help but take a few more glances at the young man, whose physique wasn't particularly robust. However, judging from the way he walked, he was definitely well-trained, and his incredible strength had already been revealed on the train.
Wan Xi Jing Hou saw that his gaze was always following others, stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, turned Wen Bai Yu's face over, and then quickly kissed his lips.
Wen Baiyu was startled and said: "What are you doing?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said lightly: "Nothing, just that you're looking at other men, I'm a bit jealous."
Wen Baiyu: "What you said is quite... direct..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou raised an eyebrow and said: "My method is more direct."
Wen Baiyu rubbed her face, and was actually speechless.
Wen Baiyu curiously said: "Was the one with the surname Mo from the Dao just now? Do you know him?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "A new face, I haven't seen him before."
Wen Baiyu said: "Are there still people you haven't seen? I heard those people call him Shifu, he seems to have a pretty high status, and you actually don't recognize him?"
Wan Kuang said, "This is not surprising, there are too many people on this path, and the sects are also complicated."
Two people checked in and Wen Kai topped up the membership card. They actually stayed for free, and it was a luxurious large bed room, usually prepared for couples.
Wan Xi Jing Hou now increasingly feels that Wen Bai Yu this uncle is on the right path.
Two people pressed the elevator, the room was on the fifteenth floor, the elevator "ding" opened with a sound, there were people inside, Wen Baiyu stepped aside, waited for one second without seeing anyone coming out, and then took a peek, suddenly stunned!
It's been a long time since I've seen Xue Bai and Zi Che!
Xue Bai wore a black three-piece suit, looking elegant and refined, but his actions were completely unrefined. He pinned Zi Che against the elevator wall with one hand, while using the other to hold her in place, deeply kissing her.
The child was completely enveloped in Xue Bai's arms, only his neck visible, a patch of crimson showing above the collar, with some dark purple marks on top. Xue Bai must have deliberately kissed and bitten where he couldn't be covered, utterly beastly.
Two people kissed passionately, completely unaware that the elevator doors had already opened.
Just as the elevator door was about to close again, Wen Baiyu finally reached out and stopped it, then coughed twice with a "cough, cough".
Zi Che was startled and his legs went weak, almost falling to his knees. Xue Bai stretched out a hand to hold him in his arms, covering his face, and turned around fiercely, only to see an old acquaintance.
The child saw that it was Wen Baiyu, and his expression became even more unnatural. He quickly retreated from Xue Bo's arms, adjusted his clothes, and stood up straight.
Wen Baiyu said: "You're also here?"
Xue Bai gently adjusted his collar, and his hand lightly brushed against Zi Che's neck twice, making Zi Che a bit unnatural again, but he didn't refuse Xue Bai's intimate actions.
Xue Bo said: "For Zi Che's coming-of-age ceremony, take him out to have some fun."
Wen Baiyu suddenly remembered that Ziche was just eighteen years old!
Xue Bai knew that Zi Che and Wen Bai Yu had a good relationship, so he took Zi Che down the elevator and said: "We're planning to go out for dinner, want to join us?"
Wen Baiyu thought it was a good idea too. It's been a long time since everyone has seen each other, and having a meal together isn't bad either. Plus, today is Zi Che's 18th birthday, so we should celebrate.
Wen Baiyu nodded, and naturally, Wan Jingshou had no objections either.
Xue Bai said: "You put down your luggage first, we'll sit in the hall for a while."
Xue Bai and Zi Che sat in the hotel lobby, while Wan Kuang Jing Hou and Wen Bai Yu went upstairs to put away their luggage.
The room is very luxurious, Wen Kai indeed has a lot of money, and the bathroom is very large. Not to mention two people taking a bath together, even playing and rolling around inside wouldn't be a problem.
Two people put down their luggage and went downstairs quickly, leaving only Xue Bai and Zi Che sitting on the sofa in the hall. Zi Che sat very properly, just like his personality, somewhat serious and not talkative, with a youthful yet mature appearance, his waist and back straight, making him look slender but neat and tidy, with both hands placed on his knees.
Xue Bai then unbuttoned his Western-style shirt, crossed his legs, and placed his hand on the back of Zi Che's hand, leaning forward slightly as if talking to Zi Che.
When Wen Baiyu walked over, she faintly heard Xue Bo say something about being a good child.
Zi Che's face turned slightly red after hearing this, and she pursed her lips, but didn't say a word.
Wen Baiyu didn't quite catch what was said, but she wasn't curious at all, because it definitely wasn't anything worth listening to...
Four people went out for a stroll, but didn't find any restaurants to eat at. Because Xue Bo's attire was too expensive-looking, going into small eateries would be too conspicuous, so they ended up returning to the hotel restaurant.
The hotel's restaurant was very high-end, with candles lit on the table, giving off a warm and romantic dinner feel. Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that he and Wan Jiahui were just oversized energy-saving light bulbs with super high wattage!
Zi Che wasn't from Jiangsu or Zhejiang Province and hadn't eaten much Suzhou cuisine before. Xue Bai ordered a lot of dishes, especially the braised fish in soy sauce and the pheasant soup.
These two dishes are ancient famous dishes of Peng City, originating from Peng Zu, the lord of Da Peng State. Legend has it that Peng Zu lived for 800 years and was good at cooking and nourishing his body, which contributed to his longevity. These two dishes also have stories about Peng Zu in them.
Zi Che ate while listening to Xue Bai tell stories, Wen Bai Yu thought Xue Bai was like coaxing a child, but Zi Che had been raised by him since childhood, with a calm temperament and simple thoughts, as long as it was something Xue Bai said, Zi Che would definitely love to listen.
Today is for celebrating Zi Che's birthday. Although Zi Che's birthday has passed, the adult ceremony still needs to be done, and inevitably some wine was drunk.
Zi Che usually doesn't drink, but today Xue Bai let him have a drink. Zi Che drank it and didn't know that his body was particularly sensitive to alcohol. After drinking just a small cup, he felt dizzy and soon couldn't take it anymore. He fell asleep on the table in a daze.
Xue Bai looked at Zi Che, who had fallen asleep, and felt a bit helpless. He gently patted him, but Zi Che only let out a low hum, his face still buried in the table, his neck and ears bright red.
Xue Bai was afraid that he was allergic to alcohol and wanted to help him upstairs, but Wan Qi Jing Hou spoke up at this time and said: "Mr. Xue didn't come to Xuzhou just for the sake of attending Zi Che's coming-of-age ceremony, did you?"
Xue Bai was stunned for a moment, and his movement to support Zi Che also stopped. He leaned back in his chair, looking up at Wan Qi Jing Hou.
Wen Baiyu was startled and looked at Xue Bo, then glanced at Zi Che. This time, Zi Che really got drunk, very familiar, not hearing a thing.
Xue Baisheng hesitated for a long time before saying, "Actually, there is something else."
Wan Kuang raised an eyebrow and said: "Is your purpose the same as those who entered Xuzhou?"
Xue Bai shook his head and said: "The purpose is different, but the process is the same, both will end up in a grave."
Kaoru Minaduki/Megumi didn't say a word, listening to these two people's conversation.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said again: "I suppose you have also made inquiries."
Xue Bai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything that would harm Zi Che. How could I bear to be even slightly unfavorable to him?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "My intention is, we want to go with you on the same road."
Wen Baiyu stared at Wan Jingshou in surprise, and Xue Bo also seemed surprised.
Wan Ji Jing Hou said: "Before we came to Xuzhou, we didn't know that so many people from the Tao would also come to Xuzhou. Apparently you understand more than us."
Xue Bai nodded, not refusing, but said: "This is also good, I was still hesitant myself, although I have a reason to go, but I'm afraid the child will get hurt. Since you are willing to follow, that's even better."
After dinner, Xue Bai supported the drunk Zi Che who was unconscious and got into the elevator. The four of them got into the elevator, just as the door was about to close, someone shouted "Wait!" and the door opened again, letting one more person in.
It was actually that young man with the surname Mo.
He was holding a package in his hand, Wen Baiyu glanced at it with a calm and collected expression, and there were metallic sounds coming from inside. It seemed that he had gone out to purchase equipment, after all, everyone knew what this person did.
A young man with the surname Mo came in and pressed the 17th floor. Coincidentally, Xue Bai and Zi Che were on the 16th floor.
Their floors are all adjacent.
Zi Che was drunk, leaning against Xue Bai's body, and didn't know if it was because of the intoxication that Zi Che rested his head on Xue Bai's chest, with both hands embracing Xue Bai's waist. This kind of intimate action was not something Zi Che would normally do.
The elevator went up, and it was very quiet in the elevator. Xue Bai also hugged him and said softly, "Good boy, what's wrong?"
The child's nasal tone was very heavy and said: "Headache..."
Xue Bai smiled and said with his head down, "You've only had one cup."
His face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, he was drunk and couldn't take it anymore, and repeated again: "Headache..."
Xue Bai said: "Good child, bear with it for a while, lie down in the room and it won't hurt. Your father is not good, shouldn't have let you drink."
The child's head rubbed against Xue Bai's chest and let out a nasal "hmm" sound, then fell silent.
Wen Baiyu looked at Zi Che's face, usually not speaking or making a sound, somewhat resembling Wan Kuang Jing Hou. Who let them look alike anyway? But now he had a soft and weak appearance, probably because he drank too much, even Zi Che himself didn't know what he looked like anymore.
Wen Baiyu looked up at Wan Jingshou again, and Wan Jingshou's physique was too tall, and he was much stronger than Zicheng. He didn't have a soft and cute feeling at all, and she couldn't help but pout in disgust.
Wan Qi Jing Hou laughed and suddenly pinned him against the elevator wall, saying: "What's with the mouth, what's not satisfying?"
Wen Baiyu glared at him, there were outsiders in the elevator, and he actually went crazy like this. Wan Qi Jinghou didn't care about anyone's gaze and said, "I'm asking you."
Wen Baiyu said timidly: "No..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and whispered in his ear, "Will you be satisfied when we get back?"
Wen Baiyu immediately said: "Not good!"
The young man with the surname Mo kept looking up at the floor display of the elevator, seemingly deaf to everything around him, but he was indeed a little surprised. First, he was surprised that there was a young man who looked quite similar to Wan Qi Jing Hou, which must be a relative.
The surprise was because the usually cold and stoic General Wan Qi Jing Hou would actually smile, and smile so naturally.
The 15th floor arrived, Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou were about to take the elevator, Xue Bo said: "I'll call you tomorrow, let's talk then."
Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded, Xue Bai's words were very obscure, because there was an outsider present, and this person was also a Taoist.
Wen Baiyu entered the room, and before he could even close the door, Wan Jingshou had already pressed him against it, lowering his head to kiss him. Wan Jingshou's lips tasted of wine, a faint flavor that was hard to describe, and somehow, it was intoxicating.
Wen Baiyu was panting, and Wan Jiahao said: "What are you staring at Zi Che for?"
Wen Baiyu rolled her eyes and thought that Wan Jie Jing Hou was indeed a tyrant, not even allowing them to exchange two glances.
Wen Baiyu was kissed by him until she was dizzy and couldn't turn her head, and very bluntly said: "You don't have a cute and soft side."
"Soft and cute?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou raised an eyebrow and the corner of his mouth, saying: "I don't know if it's cute or not, but I'm being gentle now, let's see how hard you try."
Wen Baiyu's face suddenly turned bright red, and Wan Kuang Jinghou was simply a rascal, and he said such rascal words with such righteousness and arrogance.
Wan Xi Jing Hou's fingers kept touching Wen Bai Yu's ear, his hoarse voice saying: "Go to the bathroom?"
The white eyebrow twitched and said, "Tomorrow is still a long journey."
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said in a very gentle voice: "I know, I don't want you to be uncomfortable either. Let's help each other out, okay?"
Wen Baiyu was already somewhat excited at this time, listening to Wan Jingshou's gentle voice, his heart beating fiercely. However, he didn't speak or nod, but instead pulled on Wan Jingshou's collar and covered his mouth with his own.
Two people stumbled into the bathroom, helping each other was not a wise move. Wen Baiyu's hands were so soft that they cramped, he was always dazed by beauty and forgot that Wan Jingshou had incredible physical strength and was a dragon, one help and it took two or three hours to recover.
When Wen Baiyu was carried out by Wan Kuang Jing Hou, he felt his palms burning in pain, as if a layer of skin had been peeled off. Not just his palms, but also his thighs were affected. This time it's done, although he didn't really go in, but his thighs hurt so much that he couldn't even wear pants, and every move made him feel sore, how could he walk?
At the time when Wen Baiyu was drowsily falling asleep, she was still thinking that Wan Jie's tricks were getting more and more numerous, and he was enjoying it without getting tired of it. She would die a terrible death sooner or later...
Wen Baiyu was woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone on the second morning, Wan Jingshou's mobile phone rang twice, and Wan Jingshou immediately sat up to answer the call.
Wen Baiyu was a bit out of spirits and had a headache from the noise, probably caused by Xue Bo. He was likely discussing timing with Wan Jinhou.
Wan Xi Jinghou hung up the phone and saw Wen Baiyu hugging a quilt, with one leg still clamped on it, frowning and looking very distressed, as if making a last struggle.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou laughed and got out of bed, first going to the bathroom to wash up. After coming out and getting dressed, he lifted the covers off Wen Bai Yu's bed.
The white feather bed was cold and shivering, curled up into a ball, waved its hands twice, and continued to shrink back to sleep.
Wan Xi Jing Hou bent down, stretched out his hand to touch his leg, slid up along the leg, and leaned in close to Wen Bai Yu's ear, saying: "Xue Bo called, we're going downstairs for breakfast, it's time to set off."
Wen Baiyu shook her head vigorously and muttered: "I'm not eating breakfast anymore, let me sleep a bit longer..."
As she spoke, she kicked her legs a few times, seemingly not liking Wan Jie's disturbance. However, Wan Jie's methods were very clever, and Wen Baiyu was greatly disturbed by him, from being tormented to death at the beginning to being excited to death in the end, and could only sit up and stare at Wan Jie.
Wan Jie Jinghou handed him his clothes, Wen Baiyu listlessly put them on, then went to wash up, and followed Wan Jie Jinghou downstairs.
Xue Bai and Zi Che were already in the restaurant, having breakfast. They also ordered some food for them. The two sat down, and soon their breakfast arrived.
The child also looked somewhat listless, with dark circles under his eyes, clearly sleep-deprived, and had a kidney-deficient look on his face. The purple marks on his neck were more pronounced, and his lips were cracked in one corner...
The little car looked at Wen Bai's white feathers poking out of the small basket, constantly stealing glances at himself, and couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. He quickly pulled up his collar to cover his neck, but the scar on his lips was impossible to hide. He awkwardly pursed his lips.
Xue Bai said: "I've already prepared everything, you don't need to bring anything. After we finish eating, we can leave. The car is outside."
Wen Baiyu nodded and looked at Zi Che again. Hadn't he been busy last night? Could he still drive today?
The child couldn't bear being sized up by him anymore, so Wan Jie Jing Hou lightly scratched Wen Bai Yu's leg under the table. Only then did Wen Bai Yu cough and withdraw his gaze.
The four of them finished their breakfast and walked out of the restaurant to get on the car, just as they came out, they happened to meet those people who were about to enter the restaurant.
Among them, a man named Haozi was still not convinced, but he didn't dare say anything to Wan Jijinghou, and his chin was still swollen, so he could only glance at Wen Baiyu twice.
Four people walked out of the hotel, heading to the parking lot. As soon as they got in the car, the driver started driving and backed out of the parking space. Just then, the hotel door opened again and those people also came out, getting into a large vehicle.
Wen Bai Yu furrowed her brow and said: "Aren't they going out for breakfast? Why are they suddenly in a hurry to hit the road?"
Wan Qi Jinghou turned his head and took a look, their car had already driven away, the cars of those people behind also hurriedly drove out, seemingly wanting to follow them.
Xue Bai also turned his head and looked back, smiling and saying: "It seems they're going the same way as us."
The child drove the car towards the suburbs, and the car behind followed at a distance, not far or near. Wen Baiyu said: "Do these people want to pick up melons?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shrugged and said, "This kind of thing happens all the time."
Wen Baiyu had never encountered such a situation before. Xue Bo's expression was very gentle, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zi Che's driving skills are very good."
Said and glanced at the child's car.
The driver nodded and immediately floored it.
The car drove quickly and turned into the city, spending the whole morning circling in and out of the city.
Wen Baiyu knew that Zi Che's driving skills were good, but they had been constantly changing lanes and cutting in, making Wen Baiyu feel nauseous. She had eaten a small steamed bun for breakfast, and now she felt like vomiting the filling out. The nausea was unbearable.
They spent the whole morning driving around without doing anything, and at first, the cars behind them were following closely. Later, as more cars joined in, they gradually fell behind.
Wen Baiyu let out a sigh of relief as the big car finally disappeared from view, feeling like she had narrowly escaped death. "My god, I'm going to throw up."
The child drove the car to the suburbs, found a secluded place, stopped the car first, and Wen Baiyu immediately opened the door and rushed down, squatting in the pit of the tree and vomiting, vomiting so hard that his heart and liver were about to vomit out, feeling dizzy in both eyes.
The child looked at Wen Baiyu and saw that she was like this, feeling a bit uneasy, handed her a bottle of mineral water and said: "Sorry, didn't expect you to faint like this."
Wen Baiyu waved his hand repeatedly and couldn't say a word, saying: "How much farther is the journey?"
"The child cart said somewhat apologetically: 'After all, I don't know how far it is, and for now, we haven't found the specific location of the tomb, so we can only take it one step at a time.'"
Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Aren't we going to Suishui to fetch the tripod? Why look for a tomb?"
Xue Bai walked over and said: "Before going to Suishui, I want to confirm one thing first. This piece should have a tomb, which is what I'm looking for, confirming an idea of mine."
Wen Baiyu listened to Xue Bo's mysterious words, but he didn't have time to care about that now. After vomiting everything out, he felt hungry again. However, they still had a car ride in the afternoon, and eating would make him vomit again. Wen Baiyu thought it was really unbearable, so he might as well let him fly...
Wan Xi Jing Hou supported Wen Bai Yu onto the carriage, letting him rest his head on his lap, saying: "You take a nap."
Wen Baiyu felt that there was only this method left, so she lay down on Wan Jingshou's leg and fell asleep. Before getting on the train, Wen Baiyu had a nightmare and didn't sleep well. In the hotel, she was messed with by Wan Jingshou and suffered from severe kidney deficiency, so she didn't sleep well either. Wen Baiyu's eyes were also slightly dark, and she fell asleep hugging Wan Jingshou's leg.
Wen Baiyu slept very soundly, but was woken up by hunger. After all, she had thrown up everything she ate before. As soon as she opened her eyes, she found that the car had stopped, and it was pitch black around her, unable to see anything clearly.
Wen Baiyu was startled and sat up with a jolt, looking around to find herself still in the carriage, but it was empty except for her. She was alone on the back seat, with Wan Qi Jinghou's windbreaker draped over her body.
Wen Bai pulled the car door, which was not locked, and got out of the car. He then heard a voice speaking, sounding very strange, as if it had suffered immense pain, with a hint of restraint.
Wen Baiyu had just woken up and was still quite dazed. Looking ahead, he saw that it was already dark outside, with a faint light shining between the trees. A tall man was pinning a young boy against a tree.
The tall man whispered into the boy's ear in a hoarse voice, "Good kid, don't cry..."
With such a majestic and powerful appearance, it must be Xue Bai. Zi Che's face was red, his hands slightly pushing away Xue Bai, but not daring to really push him, his voice very weak, saying: "Father... Wen Bai Yu is still in the carriage, don't..."
Onii-sama said I've already gotten out of the car...
At this time, Wan Qi Jing Hou also returned, holding a pile of branches in his hand. Zi Che heard the sound and quickly pushed open Xue Bai.
Xue Bai also knew that Zi Che's skin was thin, so he let go along with him.
Wan Zongjing saw Wen Baiyu wake up and said: "Awake?"
Wen Baiyu threw his coat at him, and Wan Jinhoul caught it, putting it on him, saying: "Just woke up, don't catch a cold."
Wen Baiyu said: "Where is this place?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou piled up the branches and set them on fire, saying: "I don't know."
Wen Baiyu listened to him and said dryly, "Has the car been opened for an afternoon?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It's not that either, I was opening and searching at the same time. I saw you sleeping so soundly, so I didn't wake you up."
It is clear that they did not find any tombs.
Wan Qi Jing Hou set up the tent, and after tidying up his clothes, he came out with the food they had brought in the car. Xue Bai had also packed a lot of food from the hotel, which was more delicious than instant noodles and could be used directly outdoors.
Everyone sat around together, Wen Baiyu said: "What exactly are we looking for?"
Xue Bai said: "A Qin Dynasty tomb is related to the story of Qin Shi Huang retrieving a tripod from the Si River, but it has not been confirmed whether it really exists."
Wen Baiyu said: "So, we've been searching for half a day, and it's very likely that it's all in vain, because there's actually nothing at all?"
Xue Bai didn't say anything, but nodded his head.
Wen Baiyu said: "So many grave robbers gather together, what are they after? Is it the Si River or the uncertain tomb you mentioned?"
Xue Bai said: "It should be a tomb nearby."
Xue Bo poked at the fire, saying: "The nine tripods are not as simple as the legend says, but they have been lost for a long time. The profession of earth husbandry has been declining since the Republic of China era, even though tools have become more advanced. If they could be found, people would have found them earlier, after all, these are priceless treasures."
He said, pausing for a moment, "I don't know who spread the news, but recently there have been rumors on the road that there is a Qin Dynasty tomb near Xuzhou, which has attracted many grave robbers. It's also rumored to be related to the Nine Cauldrons, and whoever finds this tomb will find the lost Nine Cauldrons, so these treasure hunters are flocking to it."
Wen Baiyu said: "Rumors have it that, but there's no need to rush like this, is there?"
Xue Bai said: "It's not just hearsay."
He said, taking out a photo from his pocket.
Wen Baiyu took a look and was stunned, immediately handing the photo over to Wan Qi Jinghou.
This photo shows a bronze tripod they used for alchemy in their basement.
Xue Bai said: "This photo is true, without any signs of processing. Photos can't be fake, that's why those people are rushing to see it."
Wen Bai furrowed his brow, this bronze tripod had appeared again, it must be the masterpiece of that person, he might have already seen through their plan, so he provoked a group of grave robbers to make trouble.
Wen Baiyu was getting more and more puzzled, wondering who had such great audacity.
Four people had eaten, Wen Baiyu was no longer sleepy, the car had a smell of gasoline, he absolutely would not stay inside for another minute, outside air was a bit cold, but it was refreshing.
Wen Baiyu slept a lot, so he volunteered to keep watch and let the others go to sleep. Wan Xizonghou was worried about leaving him alone, but Wen Baiyu said: "What's there to worry about? You get some rest, if we still can't find it tomorrow, then it'll be your turn to keep watch."
Wan Xi Jing Hou had no choice but to enter the tent, where Wen Bai Yu was sitting outside keeping watch, wrapped in his clothes, while the others were all asleep inside.
Wen Baiyu lazily rummaged through her luggage, all of which had been prepared by Xue Bo. It seemed that Xue Bo was also a seasoned traveler, as everything was extremely well-prepared and of high quality.
Wen Baiya opened a package and suddenly felt dizzy, inside were many guns and bullets. He remembered that Zixuan was good at using these things, but he didn't expect him to prepare so many.
Wen Baiyu listlessly poked at the fire, when suddenly she heard a rustling sound "shasha......" and was startled.
But then the voice disappeared quickly, and what came next was a burst of woman's laughter.
In the desolate wilderness, I actually heard a woman laughing, and she was laughing very happily, with a hint of charm and coquettishness. This in itself is quite abnormal.
Wen Baiyu immediately stood up and looked into the depths of the forest, where it was pitch black. There was no moon tonight, and the sky was particularly dark, making it impossible to see anything.
Wen Baiyu looked down at the gun that had been lowered, but still felt that his dagger was the most useful, so he took it out and crouched down to quietly move a few steps into the woods. However, since everyone was still in the tent, he didn't dare go far.
Wen Baiyu hid beside the woods and indeed heard a sound coming from within, at first it was a woman's laughter, somewhat coquettish and gasping, but later turned into lewd and lustful cries.
Wen Baiyu was startled, could it be that someone is fighting a battle in the deep mountains and old forests?
Wen Bai's face turned red, and just as she was about to leave, she saw two figures, a man and a woman. The man happened to be someone she knew, or rather, had met before - his name was Haozi, the same person who had spoken out of turn on the train.
Haozi was holding a woman, eagerly kissing her, as if he hadn't seen a woman in eight lifetimes. His face was filled with wolf-like desire, and the two of them rolled around on the ground in the forest, looking extremely intense...
Wen Baiyu didn't dare to look again, Haozi had kissed her several times and was already impatiently tearing open the woman's clothes. Just at this moment, Wen Baiyu was about to turn back when she suddenly saw something wrong with the woman's face!
A woman's face is slowly turning green, bit by bit turning green.
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt something was off.
The man touched the woman's body, panting heavily, and said with a smile: "How are you so cool?"
The woman then wrapped her arms around the servant's neck and laughed: "Well, warm me up then."
The woman said so, the mouse was even more excited, and kissed several times in a row. The mouse and the woman mouth-to-mouth kissed with a hissing sound. Just as the mouse was licking its tongue back and forth, it suddenly let out a loud "Ahhh!!!"
It was as if the earth shook and the heavens trembled, just looking at that woman's beautiful and charming face, in an instant it turned into a pale and stiff zombie-like face, staring with two empty eye sockets, her mouth full of terrifying sticky liquid, both hands grasping the throat of the wastrel.
The man was so scared that he immediately went limp, and at the same time, a wave of nausea hit his stomach. He retched "hiccups" twice, wishing he could pull out his own tongue/head, but the female corpse held him tight and wouldn't let go.
Haozi's face suddenly turned bright red, completely purple like a pig's liver, his two eyes bulging out, about to be choked to death.
Wen Baiyu hesitated for a moment, this female corpse actually had consciousness and could even use her beauty to deceive people, which meant she was absolutely not simple, if things went on like this, Haozi would definitely die.
Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, then suddenly pounced out and kicked the female corpse's back.
The female corpse let out a loud "Ka!" and immediately pounced forward. Her two hands relaxed, and her big mouth was just right on the mouse's face.
Haozi let out a mournful cry of "Ah——", kicked the female corpse several times with both feet, and scrambled to his feet, ready to run.
He was already in a state of panic, scrambling to his feet only to be tripped up by branches and crash to the ground with a "thud". He quickly scrambled to his feet again, but ended up stepping on his own shoes and falling to the ground for a second time. This time, he spat out a front tooth with a "plop" sound, before hastily scrambling to his feet once more.
The third time was when she grabbed his ankle.
The mouse urinated immediately, and Wen Baiyu suddenly smelled a foul odor, wrinkling her brow in disgust, thinking that this gutsy one dared to come and provoke a fight?
The female corpse's claws were sharp, grasping the mouse's ankle, pulling hard, and the mouse let out an "ah" as it fell to the ground for the third time, its face covered in blood.
Wen Baiyu quickly ran over, grabbed the mouse's back with one hand, and lifted it up with force. At the same time, he kicked the female corpse twice, causing her to be kicked open. The mouse was so scared that it couldn't even climb up.
The female corpse crawled up from the ground, making a "giggle" sound. There were no eyeballs in her two eye sockets, but she still glared at Wen Baiyu with great indignation.
Wen Baiyu found it strange that the female corpse had just been conscious and knew how to seduce, but in the blink of an eye, she had turned into a zombie, completely losing her consciousness and only knowing how to attack people.
Haozi climbed up and saw that it was Wen Baiyu, stunned for a moment, but also didn't care about losing face anymore, loudly shouting: "Here we go again!"
Wen Baiyu's hand moved swiftly, and with a "whooshing" sound, she made a quick slash. The female corpse pounced forward, stretching out her hand to grab, but suddenly her long fingernails flipped up.
The female corpse winced in pain and immediately withdrew her hand. The mouse was both shocked and frightened, but his mouth gradually felt numb, accompanied by a burning sensation. It was certain that the liquid in the female corpse's mouth was toxic. His speech was already slurred, he wanted to say "it came again", but couldn't articulate it clearly, his swollen lips resembled those of a fish.
Hao Zi shouted so loudly that it was impossible not to attract the attention of others, let alone Wan Kuang Jing Hou and his men, even Hao Zi's own people were attracted over.
Two groups of people rushed in from both sides of the forest, Wan Xi Jinghou watched as the female corpse pounced on Wen Baiyu's body, kicked a backpack on the ground, and the guns inside immediately scattered out.
Wan Qi Jing Hou lifted his foot and immediately kicked the gun on the ground, aiming instantly and firing three shots "bang bang bang".
The woman's forehead and both legs were shot, and she fell to her knees on the ground.
She crawled forward, still wanting to attack. The young man with the surname Mo rushed over and quickly fired two shots at the woman's arm. Then he called for people to quickly tie up the female corpse.
Wan Ji Jing Hou immediately walked over and hugged Wen Bai Yu, saying: "Are you okay?"
Wen Baiyu shook his head and said, "I'm fine, it's him who has a problem."
He said, pointing to the mouse on the ground.
Haozi was so scared that he was paralyzed, with a big fish lip turned outward, his tongue/head swollen like a bun, and he couldn't say a word.
A young man with the surname Mo squatted down to examine his wound and said, "You've been poisoned by a corpse, hurry up and get it disinfected. Fortunately, your throat wasn't burned, but you'll have to exert yourself a bit when speaking for the next few days."
Several people came over and quickly carried the rat away. He had suffered a severe shock, and his wound was poisoned by the corpse's venom, so he definitely needed to treat it.
Wen Baiyu didn't expect to have hidden from those people for an entire morning, yet they ended up running into each other again.
Those people's route to the tomb was surprisingly consistent with theirs, and at that time they had indeed shaken them off. It seems that not all of these people are useless, but some can get things done. Moreover, this young man surnamed Mo was extremely agile, exuding a sharp aura, speaking little, but it could be seen that he was a formidable character.
The people on both sides explained the situation, and Haizi's ability to express himself is too poor now, so he can only write.
It turned out that it was the person called Haizi who got up in the middle of the night to relieve himself and thought he would walk a little further, but unexpectedly saw a beautiful woman singing in the woods.
At that time, Hàozi was so scared that he almost died. Whose daughter would be singing in the deserted woods at midnight? It must be a ghost.
The mouse wanted to run away, but the woman had already seen him and said she was lost and very scared, and leaned into his arms. Later, the mouse fainted, and the woman kept smiling at him and was particularly proactive.
Haozi still thought that good things would come easily, but if Wen Baiyu hadn't appeared in time, he estimated that he would have already been taken care of by the female corpse, and it wouldn't just be a matter of swollen lips.
The female corpse was tied up by them, and a hoarse "gurgling" sound came from her throat.
Xue Bai walked over, squatted down, he put on gloves, ready to examine the female corpse.
The female corpse was naked, her body relatively intact but with greenish skin that was hard and stiff, devoid of elasticity. Her face was desiccated to the point of being almost skeletal.
Xue Bai reached out and pressed down on the woman's corpse, which was still struggling, turned her head to the side, and parted her scattered hair, as if searching for something.
Wen Baiyu watched Xue Bo carefully examine the female corpse, whose head had a lot of sticky liquid on it, looking very disgusting. She couldn't help but say to Zi Che: "Your adoptive father is quite ruthless, he's gone to such lengths."
Xue Bai checked for a while, the female corpse was very violent, suddenly lifted her head, opened her mouth to bite Xue Bai, Zi Che froze, immediately rushed over, the gun in his hand turned upside down, and used the gun butt to hit the female corpse's chin.
The woman's head was knocked askew in an instant, and the movement of the child cart was both swift and ruthless, leaving Wen Baiyu stunned.
"Uncle, are you alright?" Zi Che pulled Xue Bai two steps back and asked.
Xue Bai shook his head, took off the gloves on his hands, and the young man with the surname Mo spoke first, saying: "What did Mr. Xue find?"
Xue Bai didn't say a word, and the young man with the surname Mo didn't ask again. He knew when to stop and walked over to sit down on one side.
Xue Bai turned around and beckoned with his hand, indicating for Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou to come over.
Four people sat together, Xue Bai said: "I just examined the female corpse, there is a needle hole on one side of her temple."
"Wait a minute, Needle/Hole? Is it a sea worm?"
Xue Bai looked at him in surprise and said, "You also know about the sea worm?"
Wen Baiyu said: "I've met him several times before, it's really strange."
Xue Bai said, "To be honest with you, I saw the female corpse tonight and I'm sure that there must be a tomb nearby. This tomb is related to the alchemists of the Qin Dynasty. Before the Qin Dynasty, it was an era when alchemists were rampant, but during the Qin Dynasty, because of the First Emperor's obsession with alchemy, alchemists reached their peak. My guess is that there will be many, even a large number of controlled corpses in that tomb..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "You mean we need to expand our team."
Wen Baiyu immediately glanced at the group of people not far behind him, wanting to expand the team, and shouldn't find those people, although there were also good hands, but most of them were timid like Haozi.
Xue Bai nodded with a smile, his warm and harmless smile, saying: "Yes, we need to expand our team, but to put it bluntly, we need more people to tread on thunder."
Wen Baiyu immediately understood that Xue Bo meant the tomb they were going to was extremely dangerous, so dangerous that people might die, so they needed to expand their team.
Xue Bai is indeed a businessman who doesn't get up early without profit, perhaps Xue Bai is a cold person, but only gentle to his son.
Wan Ji Jing Hou said: "Let's talk about the terms, if they are suitable, we can cooperate."
Xue Bai nodded and, as a representative, negotiated with the team on the other side. The big brother was not the leader, but rather the leader's junior uncle, who was a young man surnamed Mo.
Young Master Mo has a high status among them, and he never makes a move. Those people have never seen him before, but suddenly a leader appears out of nowhere, and his hands look like a woman's, so Haozi is quite displeased.
A young man named Mo Yang, upon hearing that Wan Qi Jing Hou wanted to collaborate, was somewhat surprised but quickly nodded in agreement.
Since they were going to cooperate, everyone set up their tents together and briefly introduced the people on both sides. The leader of the other side was Mo Yang, 26 years old, roughly the same age as Wen Baiyu.
The man known as Big Brother was surnamed Liu, but his real name was unknown. The people under him called him Big Brother, while those in the underworld called him Liu San. Those who showed more respect called him Master Liu, and he had been through many battles, having some experience.
Those people had known Wang Jie Hou for a long time. Although they hadn't met before, they had all heard of him and found him particularly difficult to deal with, not someone to be trifled with.
Also met Wen Baiyu on the train, in the impression of these people, Wen Baiyu must be packaged by Wan Kuangjinghou, belonging to a type that has never been seen in any world, and must be a hot air wanting to see a fight.
They didn't see Wen Baiyu saving Haozi, and Haozi thought it was too embarrassing to mention, so they all still thought Wen Baiyu was really caught by Bao.
Xue Bai is a new face, Xue Bai hides very deeply, has always been self-proclaimed as a businessman, and he looks like a harmless businessman indeed.
And the young man, who looked just like Wan Jie Jing Hou, seemed to be a younger relative of his. With one Wan Jie Jing Hou already being difficult to deal with, this group of people was even more unbearable.
After a noisy night, everyone started to rest again. To show their sincerity, the first night was guarded by people from Moyang, and others went to rest.
Wan Jie Jing Hou held Wen Bai Yu tightly and entered the tent. People from Mo Yang's side saw that Wan Jie Jing Hou was always gentle when speaking to Wen Bai Yu, not cold or indifferent, so they couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Wen Baiyu had been tossing and turning for half the night, now she felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.
Only a few hours of sleep had passed when daylight broke, and Wen Baiyu was somewhat reluctant to get up. Wan Xiejinghou smiled and said: "Go back to the carriage and sleep."
Wen Baiyu struggled to get up, washed and had breakfast outside. Liu San had partnered with Wan Zhi Jinghou before, but the team was too big and they hadn't said much to each other, nor did they dare to speak. Wan Zhi Jinghou's status in the partnership was very high, he never did miscellaneous tasks, only finding tombs and solving some relatively difficult puzzles.
The Wanqi Jinghou in front of them almost made them speechless, their jaws nearly dropping.
Piling up firewood, starting a fire, cooking rice, all were done by Wan Zongjing personally. He also made hot water and wrung out a hot towel to wipe Wen Baiyu's face.
It was a bit chilly and damp outside, but after wrapping himself in the warm towel, he immediately woke up more than half, feeling quite comfortable, and rubbed his face with Wang Xi's hand.
Wan Xi Jing Hou put the towel in hot water again, wrung it out quickly, and wiped his neck. Wen Bai Yu remained still, unmoving, the warm steam was too comfortable. They were camping outdoors, the conditions were generally very harsh, this treatment was already quite good.
Wen Baiyu couldn't help but let out a comfortable hum, while Wan Jingshou's face immediately darkened.
Liu San and others sat not far away watching, thinking that Master Jing was finally going to get angry, looking at his face, it felt like he was about to eat someone!
As a result, Wan Jie Jing Hou lowered his head and said something to Wen Bai Yu. It was Wen Bai Yu who got angry instead, and he immediately kicked out with one foot, which happened to kick Wan Jie Jing Hou's forehead bone. Wan Jie Jing Hou didn't dodge at all, and instantly there was a footprint.
Those people over there were shocked, silently withdrawing their gaze, and thinking to themselves: Could Wen Baiyu have a big background? Could it be that Wen Baiyu is the one who has been supporting Wan Kuanghou?
Wan Xi Jing Hou heard Wen Bai Yu let out a moan, and early in the morning, he couldn't help but react, lowering his head to whisper in his ear with a hoarse voice: "Is wiping your face so comfortable? Your expression makes me want to cry."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
The little cart was sitting nearby, with very good hearing, and completely heard everything. Suddenly his face turned red like a pig's liver.
Wen Bai's face instantly turned multicolored with rage, and she wished she could kick Wan Qi Jing Hou's vital parts.
After everyone finished breakfast, they packed up the tents and loaded them onto the vehicles. Before setting off, Moyang and Liu San came over to discuss the route.
Xue Bai said, "The female corpse has appeared. This method of controlling the female corpse is not something that ordinary spells can accomplish. After all, a corpse does not have consciousness, and wanting to control a corpse is much more difficult than taming a tiger. Moreover, this female corpse has many commands, and the tomb should be nearby."
They were talking when suddenly there was a commotion behind them.
Someone rushed over and said, "Big brother, that female corpse suddenly caught fire!"
Liu San was startled and said: "Burned?"
He said: "Right! It suddenly caught fire by itself and water couldn't put it out!"
Wen Baiyu heard this and opened the car door to jump out, Wan Qi Jinghou also followed. They couldn't take the female corpse away, but this thing was very dangerous. Just as they were preparing to handle it and make her lie down, the female corpse suddenly self-ignited.
When Wen Baihe and the others walked over, the female corpse had already been completely burned, leaving only a "crackling" sound, as well as a smell of charred dry corpse. A thick smoke rose from the black powder left behind by the corpse.
Everyone covered their mouths and noses, waving their hands to fan the air. Wen Baiyu suddenly opened her eyes wide and fanned fiercely twice, dispersing the black smoke. Among the black powder left from burning the female corpse, a single black feather was unexpectedly seen!
Wen Bai Yu squatted down to pick it up, but Wan Qi Jing Hou stopped him. The female corpse had corpse poison on her body, and even if they burned her completely, there might still be some residue left behind.
Mo Yang walked over and handed Wen Baiyu a glove. Wen Baiyu put on the glove and hurried to pick up the black feather.
Just like the black feathers before, Wen Bai's feathers were ruffled as he raised an eyebrow and said, "He really knows, it feels just like a warning."
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It doesn't matter, since you've come, of course you must gain something before leaving."
Wen Baiyu nodded, threw the black feather to the ground, took off his gloves and said: "Let's go quickly, aren't other teams also searching? Don't let them steal our thunder."
Everyone got on the car, and the big car behind followed them. The child's car stopped from time to time. Xue Bai said that it was confirmed to be a Qin Dynasty tomb, and asked Wan Qi Jing Hou to pay attention.
The car stopped more than a dozen times in the morning, they were almost searching in a carpet-like manner, the more they looked for it, the less likely they were to find it.
At noon, everyone sat down to eat, and Wen Baiyu saw that Haozi's mouth was still swollen, and he couldn't even eat. He couldn't help but think of him hugging the female corpse and making kissing sounds last night, and it was almost laughable. This is absolutely self-inflicted.
As dusk approached, the crowd did not find a tomb, but found a half-collapsed cave.
The cave is very deep and half collapsed, with stones standing all over the place, making it difficult to step down, and also afraid of collapse from above.
Everyone held flashlights and entered the cave, outside collapsed more severely, with weeds and vines blocking the way, if not for the sharp eyes of the child, this place would be invisible.
At first, everyone had to stoop when walking inside, but as they went deeper, they found that the interior was still well-preserved. At least, someone of Wan Jie's height could stand up straight.
It started as just a stone cave, but after walking very far in, when everyone was about to exit, some simple murals began to be carved on both sides of the stone cave.
Wen Baiyu shone a flashlight on it with her hand, and the engraving was very rough and simple, without any words, but some pictures, which looked like Daoist cultivation diagrams.
Wan Qi Jing Hou looked around, furrowed his brow and continued walking inside.
After walking for a while, the group of people who had just entered suddenly burst out laughing, their laughter rather sly and even Huozi, with his swollen lips, couldn't help but laugh along. The crowd was in high spirits, not wanting to leave, and quickly moved forward, eagerly gazing at the murals.
Wen Baiyu thought to herself, could it be that she saw a female corpse again? But with Haozi's timid nature, how could he possibly see a female corpse and still smile so slyly.
Wen Baiyu curiously shone her flashlight over and suddenly blushed, only to see that the murals were still very rough, but the key was the content.
It was a scene of naked men and women embracing each other, with various poses on display, causing Wen Baiyu's face to flush red.
He finally understood what those people were laughing at...
Xue Bai was also watching with great interest, but not with a sly smile. Wen Baiyu actually couldn't imagine what Xue Bai's sly smile would look like. Xue Bai had always been a gentleman in appearance, warm and refined on the outside, but inside he was a dark horse, even a dark soul.
Xue Bai looked at those murals, somewhat excited, and said: "More and more it proves that my guess was correct."
"What did you gain from these murals?" asked Wen Baiyu.
Xue Bai said: "The murals in front are Tu Na, and the ones behind are Fang Zhong Shu. Peng Zu is long-lived, skilled in dietetics and Fang Zhong Shu. These are all authentic Peng Guo culture."
"What's up?"
Xue Bai smiled and said: "Actually I have a deduction, perhaps what Qin Shi Huang found in the Si River back then was not the bronze tripod after all."
Wen Baiyu saw him selling Guan Zi and asked: "What is that? Fang Zhong Shu?"
Xue Bai was amused by him and said: "You got it right in part, that thing indeed has Feng Shui, but it's not just about Feng Shui."
Wen Baiyu was surprised, he had only spoken casually, and didn't expect Xue Bo to say that he had answered correctly in part?
Xue Bai looked at him curiously and said: "Actually..."
Just as he finished speaking, a loud shout of "Ah——" was heard, and someone in the depths of the cave suddenly let out a shrill cry, shouting: "There are zongzi!! Damn it, there are zongzi here!! Everyone grab them!!"
He suddenly shouted, and everyone was a bit panicked. Many people entered the cave, but it was unclear who was shouting in front. The flashlight went out immediately, and there were sounds of things being smashed. The person in front must have been ambushed by the thief.
The flashlight went out and the dim light in the depths of the cave made it even more chaotic, with people shouting non-stop.
Mo Yang was also in the back and immediately shouted: "Don't panic, turn on the flashlight!"
He shouted, and Liu San in front also shouted twice, asking everyone to turn on their flashlights and shine them brightly. The crowd quickly turned the light circles of their flashlights to the maximum.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou reached out and grabbed Wen Bai Yu, saying: "There's a corpse aura, it's coming, be careful."
Wen Baiyu nodded, and just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a numbness in his ankle, thinking that an insect had crawled onto him. He looked down and was startled with a "ahh..."
