Chapter 132: The Back of God's Residence 3

  The person lying on the ground is tall and large in stature, with dark skin and a face that exudes a sense of vicissitude, which is exactly what they borrowed from the middle-aged man of that household.

  The middle-aged man couldn't speak and couldn't move, so there was no expression at all.

  Wen Baiyu quickly squatted down, reached out and touched him twice, Wan Jingshou's face immediately turned black, brushed away Wen Baiyu's hand, then went to touch the middle-aged man's body, after touching for a while, he found a hard, long box, took it out and looked at it, indeed it was an old black VHS tape.

  Wen Baiyu saw the tape and was initially delighted, thinking that they had finally found it. However, she immediately covered her nose and said, "Why does the tape smell like a corpse?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou held the tape in his hand, furrowed his brow and said calmly, "It should be the smell from the coffin."

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback and said: "In the coffin? Is there actually something in the coffin?"

  Qiong Qi said: "Just open it and take a look, then you'll know."

  He said, without hesitation, and stretched out his hand to lift the coffin lid. Because the middle-aged man had run away in a hurry just now, he didn't close the lid properly. Qiong Qi's strength was great, and with one lift, it opened.

  At this time, the middle-aged man's eyeballs moved quickly two times.

  As soon as the coffin lid was opened, a foul smell rushed out, and Wen Baiyu immediately covered her nose. At this time, even Wan Qi Jinghou couldn't remain calm, and he furrowed his brow, looking at the coffin.

  All that was seen in the coffin was actually something, not empty at all. Inside, a person lay, already rotten to a certain extent. No wonder there was such a strong stench of corpses. The room wasn't big, and the smell spread immediately.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the person in the coffin, wearing a windbreaker, with bloodstains on his body that had already turned black. He should be between 20 and 30 years old, but due to severe decay, Wen Baiyu could only see this much.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, and actually went to take a serious look. Then he walked over, picked up the chair on the ground, lifted his leg, and slammed it onto his thigh. The chair shattered instantly. Wan Kuang Jing Hou grasped the chair leg and reached into the coffin to probe around.

  The corpse was lying in an extremely unnatural posture, and the board under the coffin had actually been pried up a piece, revealing a hidden compartment underneath. There was a recessed groove below, which clearly showed that the middle-aged man had just reached into the coffin to grab something.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's intense focus, with a wave of his hand, the corpse's body began to move, and that smell grew even stronger. Wen Bai Yu couldn't help but take a peek, and upon taking a look, suddenly let out a "huh?" and said: "This corpse's face, wasn't it supposed to be rotten?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "It should be a class of acidic combustion."

  Wen Baiyu lowered his head to take a look, and Wan Qi Jinghou lightly flipped the body over again. He found that there were scorch marks on the face and hands of the corpse, which had already rotted to this extent, largely due to burns. The sight was truly unbearable.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him twice and couldn't help but ask: "What's going on here? Who is this person?"

  Qiong Qi said: "Just ask him and you'll know, what's there to think about?"

  Ming Gui nodded, reached out and pulled the golden needle from the middle-aged man's neck. As soon as the golden needle was removed, the middle-aged man could speak again, his eyes wide with fear, saying: "Who are you people!"

  Qiu Qi said: "We were just about to ask you who you are. What brings you here in the middle of the night? Is the smoked meat hanging downstairs yours?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  It seems that Gu Qi has been eyeing those few pieces of smoked meat for a long time, the corpse in the coffin, and the video tape, aren't they all more important than the smoked meat...

  The middle-aged man didn't say anything, just sizing up the few of them.

  Qiong Qi saw him not speaking, "Heh heh" laughed and revealed a sharp tooth, quite having the talent to be a bad person, said: "Not speaking? No problem, use a needle to prick his dead face, prick him from behind!"

  Middle-aged people naturally didn't understand what came next, but some of the Jinzhen who feared Minggui were frightened and their eyes shrank a little, while others blinked, fearing that Qiongqi would say something shocking again.

  The demon king really pulled out the golden needle, but it didn't pierce the middle-aged man. Instead, it pierced Gu Qi's neck.

  Qiong Qi wanted to shout loudly, but he couldn't say a word anymore. He jumped up and stared at Ming Gui with wide eyes.

  Ming Gui still had a needle in his hand, implying that if he resisted again, he would be stabbed once more. Ming Qi was furious and glared at Ming Gui.

  Wen Baiyu felt that gaze had a "heartless" feeling, it must be an illusion...

  "We want to know about this villa, and the tape, and what happened twenty years ago."

  The middle-aged man's eyes moved slightly, he was already able to speak, but didn't say anything else, lost in thought.

  They remained deadlocked for a while, with the middle-aged man remaining silent. Wan Xi Jing Hou pulled over a chair, blew off the dirt, which of course couldn't be blown clean, but they had brought flashlights, knives, binoculars, and just about everything else except for something like tissues.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou directly sat down, then patted his own leg towards Wen Bai Yu. Wen Bai Yu's temples jumped, he didn't want to sit on Wan Jie Jing Hou's lap in such a public place. This action was really too corny for two men.

  However, Wan Jie didn't feel anything at all. Seeing Wen Baiyu didn't understand, he raised his hand and beckoned him to come over, saying: "Baiyu, come here."

  Wen Baiyu always felt that Wan Jie Jing Hou was summoning a pet, but thinking of Wan Jie Jing Hou's personality, if she didn't go over herself, he would probably come over and hug her, so she lifted her feet and walked over.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou pressed down on Wen Bai Yu, letting him sit on his lap. Wen Bai Yu thought to himself, anyway it's a long battle, sitting for a while is also good.

  The middle-aged man's gaze turned on them several times before he finally spoke up, saying: "If you don't tell me who you are, don't even think about getting a single piece of information out of me."

  Qiong Qi stared with his eyes wide open, looking very fierce, but he couldn't say a word and didn't dare to pull out the needle by himself. Ming Gui had threatened Qiong Qi before that if he didn't understand anything and pulled out the needle by himself, he might become mute. This threat was just like how adults scare children, saying that if they don't behave, the old wolf will take them away. However, Qiong Qi really believed it and let the golden needle stay in his neck...

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and said: "We didn't come here for treasure, we just want to find something that can save our lives."

  The middle-aged man looked at Wen Baiyu hesitantly, and Wen Baiyu rolled up his sleeves, revealing the green floral pattern on his arm. "I don't know how much you understand about these things," he said, "but we need something to neutralize this poison."

  As soon as Wen Baiyu's arm was exposed, the middle-aged man's expression changed instantly, becoming extremely shocked. He suddenly burst out laughing, but his smile was very strange, not a happy smile, nor an excited and joyful one, nor did it resemble a cold smile. Instead, it seemed to convey a sense of being stimulated.

  After laughing, a middle-aged man's face revealed a terrifying expression and said: "Do you know what kind of poison this is? This is a death curse! He! His body has it!"

  The middle-aged man couldn't move, but his eyes were fixed tightly on the person in the coffin.

  Wen Baiyu was slightly surprised, turned his head to look at the coffin, but the person inside the coffin had rotted very badly and was severely burned, so they couldn't take off the corpse's clothes either, and naturally they couldn't see the "life summoning charm" that the middle-aged man mentioned.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's face immediately turned dark as soon as he heard his words, and the hand that was wrapped around Wen Bai Yu's waist tightened.

  Wen Baiyu gently patted the back of Wan Jingshou's hand, and only then did he slightly relax his grip, afraid of hurting Wen Baiyu.

  "We've said all we need to say, now it's your turn."

  The middle-aged man's face was somewhat worn, with a full face of wrinkles, and his dark skin made the wrinkles even deeper. He sighed and said: "I originally wanted to spend the rest of my life in peace and stability here, but unfortunately, someone always comes to find me again and again. You also have this symbol of death on you, I don't want to let you know these things, it seems that's not possible either."

  Wen Baiyu listened to him say this, his tone was somewhat sentimental, and he didn't look like a bad person.

  The middle-aged man said: "Those smoked meats downstairs are indeed mine. When you came, I had some doubts. What you said is right, I was also a rustic scholar before, so I have intuition about rustic scholars. You look like one too. But the reason I took you in last night was because I saw that you were with children and thought it impossible for you to bring such young children to fight, so I dispelled my vigilance."

  Wen Baiyu immediately thought of Xiao Chonglong. At that time, because Xiao Chonglong was a bit taller, he couldn't fit in the backpack, so he led Xiao Chonglong out, while the other little guys were all in the backpack. The middle-aged man must have thought it impossible for Tufu to be crazy enough to bring children to the grave, but in fact, Xiao Chonglong was even more "crazy"...

  The middle-aged man said: "I don't want to talk about this matter because I promised someone that I would never mention it again for the rest of my life."

  Wen Baiyu thought to herself, could it be that she had agreed to marry Xie Zi?

  "Who did you promise?"

  The middle-aged man said: "It's him."

  The back of his neck felt a chill, and it turned out that the middle-aged man was talking to someone in a coffin, and the one responding was a dead person...

  The middle-aged man said: "At that time, the situation was too miserable. His face and body were all burned, and he was also hit by that cursed symbol. We only knew at that time that wanting any treasure is just a fantasy, so I plan to live the rest of my days as if nothing had happened, keeping my mouth shut."

  The middle-aged man opened his mouth and what followed was easy to say.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Who is the owner of this villa, with the surname Xie? What's his name?'"

  The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Indeed surnamed Xie, what's his name I don't know, but others call him Crazy Xie."

  Wen Baiyu's heart went "thud", and all that was left were indeed two words.

  The middle-aged man said, "This matter should be traced back to several years ago. I was a half-baked scholar who became a hermit for the sake of making a fortune. Later on, I earned some money, but it wasn't glorious and I couldn't make a name for myself, so I decided to find a place to hide. As a result, I ended up in this place. I thought no one could find me, but before long, Xie Fengzi came, along with several others, including the person from the coffin. He knew me and introduced Xie Fengzi to me, saying it was a big deal."

  Everyone did not disturb the middle-aged man's recollection, and continued to listen to him say: "I didn't want to do it at that time, but Xie Kuai/zi had already made preparations. They brought a large amount of cash here and built a villa in this place, actually just to cover up their true intentions. They also hired many local villagers to build villas. At that time, I couldn't resist their persuasion, so I agreed to the deal. Xie Kuai/zi said that it was a treasure from the Western Queen Mother's country, and he had already received enlightenment from the gods, knowing the location of the treasure. However, there was still one condition that needed to be met in order to set out to open this treasure, and without this condition, it would be absolutely impossible to open it. That's why they came here, and that condition is buried in this mountain."

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but interrupt him and said: "Xie Zai's enlightenment, is it this video tape?"

  "This time, the middle-aged man said: "I didn't know this, thank you for speaking nonsense. If you had just heard something about 'divine inspiration', would you have believed him? Plus, he was talking nonsense and had a messy beard, I thought he was mentally abnormal at the time and didn't pay attention to it at all. Our focus was on the mountain, on the 'conditions' that Thankyou said. If I hadn't heard you guys mention something about a video tape this time, I would have never thought there was a hidden layer under the coffin. In order not to let this matter leak out, I wanted to destroy the video tape."

  Wen Baiyu nodded slightly, indicating that the middle-aged man could continue speaking.

  A middle-aged man said: "At that time, we listened to it half-understood, but what was clear was that Xie's meaning was that there were tombs in the mountains. This is our family's old business. Since it has been confirmed to be in the mountains, we are ready to take action. Because Xie gave a lot of money, many villagers came to build houses. In fact, he found these villagers not to build houses, but to dig tunnels. We followed Xie and set off. It was over 20 years ago. I don't remember how long it took us on the road, but I still remember that there was a wooden plank road on the mountain. The years were too long, and one step would crack open. In the middle of the plank road, there was also a waterfall rushing down. At that time, many people fell down..."

  The middle-aged man seemed to be thinking, and some details were mixed up. He said: "At the top of the mountain, there is a cave hidden very deeply. We didn't find it at first. The village legend says that there is a fairy cave on the top of the mountain. I thought it was because of the thick fog. Xie Fengzi told us not to look down, and I didn't dare to look down at that time. However, several people looked down, including many villagers. As a result, they didn't know what happened. I still remember this impression clearly, like a madman, dancing with joy and jumping down while laughing."

  Wen Baiyu said: "We heard the old people in the village say that there are immortals on the mountain top, and after reaching the mountain top, the immortals will take this person away. Many people jumped off the mountain there, is it what you're talking about?"

  The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It must be, it was very evil at the time. We had already suffered heavy casualties. Many people jumped down one after another. Can you imagine that feeling? After someone laughed and jumped down, others came to investigate out of curiosity, and as a result, one by one, they jumped down crazily. No one could stop them."

  Everyone who heard the middle-aged man speak felt a chill run down their backs. Wen Baiyu initially thought that there was poison in the fog, but only those who looked down at the mountain would be affected by evil, clearly it wasn't because of the poisonous fog.

  It's possible that something grew on the mountain slope, but it was already so strange twenty or thirty years ago. After more than twenty years, they carried a corpse back from the mountain again, and it has continued for so many years, I don't know what it is.

  The middle-aged man said: "The road to the cave is led by Xie Fengzi, and the road inside is very complicated. I don't remember it clearly now. There are many mechanisms inside. We didn't find any tombs at that time, but only saw a huge carving map. Then Xie Fengzi was overjoyed and said this is the 'condition'. I didn't understand these things and couldn't see clearly. At that time, Xie Fengzi drew down that huge map. Because we didn't find anything valuable, some people asked to continue walking down. Xie Fengzi also said that walking down would definitely have tombs, and there are good things inside..."

  The middle-aged man slowed down and said, "Later... there were many zongzi in the cave. I've never seen so many zongzi in my life. They came out of the hole like crazy, and these zongzi even had a numbing effect."

  Wen Baiyu immediately thought of the white-skinned zongzi they had seen in Gujing and Yunnan, which seemed to be related to the tombs of the Queen Mother of the West. In fact, it was a kind of burial zongzi.

  A middle-aged man said: "I still remember that we arrived at a sacrificial field, and the thing I called a life-taking charm was like this. There were many valuable things in the sacrificial field, and so many of us died. At that time, everyone's nerves were tense, and as soon as they saw something valuable, they started looting. I don't know who bumped into what, but suddenly someone let out a shrill cry, and their body was splashed with a lot of green water. That's how it happened - his face quickly turned into a beehive coal, with holes all over, very frightening... There were also those green flower patterns, which were very large on the bodies of those people at that time and expanded rapidly. I remember... I remember Xie Fengzi seeing those green flower patterns and shouting loudly for everyone to run away quickly. He said it was a sign of the sacrificial offering. Later, I heard a hissing sound, similar to a cicada, with mournful cries behind me... I didn't dare turn my head."

  Symbol of offerings...

  It was like this all along.

  Middle-aged people hear the sound of cicadas, which are actually cicadas. Cicadas should all have received training and will first attack people with green floral patterns.

  The middle-aged man said: "At that time, it was too chaotic, and I ran away desperately... Later, I met him, and he was already dying. I carried him down the mountain, and when we reached the foot of the mountain, he had already died. I was a bit scared because, except for me, it seemed like no one else came down from the mountain. I brought him back and saw that there was a coffin here, so I put him in it. However, I didn't know that there was a hidden compartment inside the coffin, and I didn't expect to find things hidden inside."

  The middle-aged man sighed after finishing his story, saying: "Later, Xie Zi also disappeared and probably died inside. The villa was no longer used by anyone, so I pretended to be a ghost to scare people away. As expected, nobody dared to enter again. At that time, many people jumped off the mountain, so later the mountain was sealed off, and everyone just cut firewood at the foot of the mountain."

  Wen Baiyu said: "At that time Xie Zhen didn't die."

  The middle-aged man's eyes moved slightly, and it was unclear what emotions were inside.

  Wen Baiyu said: "However, he died soon after. He should have obtained the 'conditions' you mentioned here and gone to find the treasure of the Western Queen Mother's country. However, Xie Kuangzi eventually died, having been dead for twenty years."

  The middle-aged man listened and smiled again, with unclear meaning, possibly thinking it was a bit funny, and didn't speak again.

  Ming Gui reached out and pulled the golden needle out of the middle-aged man's body at this time.

  Qiong Qi had a bitter face, pointed to the golden needle on his neck, Ming Gui sighed and seemed helpless, stretched out his hand and pulled out the needle from Qiong Qi's neck. Qiong Qi immediately took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, coughed, and seemed to be testing whether he had become mute.

  At this time, Wen Baiyu's pocket shook violently, startling him. He quickly stood up from Wan Qi Jinghou's leg and found that it was the phone in his pocket that was vibrating. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Luo Qifeng.

  Wen Baiyu picked up the phone and said, "Hello? What's wrong?"

  Luo Qifeng said: "Wen Baiyu? I just went downstairs and took a look, it seems that only the little girl is left on the first floor, the other person is gone."

  Wen Baiyu rubbed his temples and said, "He's on our side."

  Luo Qifeng was slightly surprised when he heard this, but didn't ask much and said: "What did you discover? When are you coming back?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "I've found something, I'll be right back."

  Wen Baiyu was on the phone, but the signal was a bit poor, so he spoke intermittently and slowly. Just then, Qiong Qi said: "Ah, I've found a problem!"

  Ming Gui said: "What trick are you going to play again?"

  Qiong Qi felt wronged and said: "What does 'flower' mean? I'm a person who never spends money, I'm very loyal!"

  Mei Gui: *silence*

  Qiong Qi said: "Actually, I want to say that the discovery is really significant, don't be skeptical, you see, the corpse in the coffin seems to have disappeared."

  Everyone was shocked, even Wen Baiyu, who was making the phone call, jumped in fright. The middle-aged man on the ground immediately jumped up and looked inside the coffin, only to find it was really empty!

  Such a large corpse, if it really crawled out of the room, must have first crawled out of the coffin, and as soon as it came out, Wan Qi Jing Hou would definitely have discovered it, and it was absolutely impossible to slip away under their eyelids.

  The middle-aged man stared at the coffin and shouted: "There... there's a hole here!"

  The bottom of the coffin actually had a hole, because the middle-aged man was in a hurry when he took the tape earlier, and Wen Baiyu and others were also in a hurry when they caught the middle-aged man, and didn't notice anything. Underneath the hidden compartment of the tape, it was empty, and the corpse had actually crawled through this hole.

  The middle-aged man said: "No... it's impossible, he clearly died, and has been dead for so many years?!"

  You're still a loser, even in death, you're rising from the dead like a rice dumpling!

  Wan Qi Jing Hou kicked the coffin with one foot, and found that there was actually a hole under the coffin. It looked just like a thief's den, and Zongzi must have crawled out from this hole.

  Wen Baiyu's phone hadn't even hung up yet when a sharp cry of "Ahhh" came from the other end.

  It's a girl's voice.

  A loud shout suddenly came from the phone, saying: "What's wrong!?"

  But the girl's voice suddenly disappeared and never appeared again.

  The middle-aged man was startled and said: "It's my daughter's voice!"

  Everyone had no time to stay, and immediately rushed out, running in the direction of the small building. When everyone rushed into the house, Luo Qifeng quickly came down from upstairs, panting heavily, saying: "The little girl is gone, and Xiao Ye is also gone!"

  Everyone rushed into the little girl's room, and there was a strong smell of corpses in the room. The dumplings must have been here, and the bed was messy, just like it had been robbed. There were also bloodstains on the ground.

  Wen Bai's mind was racing, feeling chaotic in her brain. These actions were too abnormal. The zongzi had escaped from under their eyelids. The hole didn't look like it was dug overnight. Zongzi actually had consciousness and could dig holes by itself.

  Wen Baiyu thought of him standing in the corridor of the villa, where he could easily see every move of the small building.

  After the zongzi ran out, it didn't go anywhere and came to the small building, grabbing the little girl away. The house was in a mess, obviously the zongzi was still looking for something.

  If a person's IQ is like this, Wen Baiyu felt that human beings should be extinct.

  Wen Baiyu's mind flashed and he immediately said: "What are you hiding? The person who died, didn't they wear a mask on the road?"

  The middle-aged man was so frightened that he shouted loudly, obviously very worried about the little girl. This is not fake. The middle-aged man paced quickly in the room and said: "Mask!? I...I remembered! There really was a mask, but I didn't intentionally hide it, I just forgot, it was a cicada-shaped jade mask, but later that mask disappeared, and I didn't take it either!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "No good, there's a Gu insect inside that mask, it can control corpses."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's face was very cold, and he said, "Apart from the mask, he also concealed something."

  The middle-aged man was taken aback, and his face immediately looked unpleasant. Wan Qi Jing Hou pointed to the messy state of the room and said: "Someone has been messing with the zongzi, specifically coming to this room to look for things. If you don't want to say anything, we won't interfere either. You can go find your daughter yourself."

  The middle-aged man thought of Wan Qi Jing Hou's skills, and Ming Gui's golden needle, both were a hundred times more powerful than himself. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "I... I just took two worthless things, at that time it was so miserable, there was nothing, I just casually picked them up because they had a nice scent, I thought they could drive away mosquitoes, so I kept one here with me and put the other in my daughter's room."

  "What is it? Speak quickly, there's no time!"

  The middle-aged man immediately took out something from his bosom, which had been polished to a bright sheen and was no larger than half a palm. Wang Jinghou took it over, pinched it between his thumb and index finger, rubbed it lightly, and said only two words: "Tortoise shell."

  "What should we do?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou turned his head and said to Luo Qi Feng: "Go upstairs, pack your luggage, wake everyone up, we're going after them now."

  Everyone quickly went upstairs, and Qī Dǔn had already woken up. He sat on the bed with his eyes narrowed, holding Egg Baby in his arms, revealing a sense of vigilance. The other little guys were also awake.

  Everyone had no time to delay, quickly shouldered their luggage and rushed out of the small building.

  Everyone went out, Ruo Qifeng simply said what had just happened. He felt that the middle-aged man was suspicious, so he went downstairs to take a look. As a result, he found that there was only a little girl on the first floor, and then he made a phone call back to the second floor. After pushing the door back, he found that Ye Liu Xiang had disappeared in the short empty space, followed by the little girl's scream. When he rushed down, no one was left.

  Everyone got on the bus, and the middle-aged man also followed up. Luo Qifeng said: "Where are we going to chase?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou thought for a second and said: "Go up the mountain."

  Middle-aged people are obviously particularly nervous, seeing the flying little guys, they don't even have a surprised expression, just having seen conscious zongzi, what else can be more surprising?

  Luo Qifeng drove the car very fast towards the mountain road.

  Wen Baiyu said: "What does zongzi need a tortoise shell for? I thought it was a mask."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou pinched the tortoise board and said, "This piece of tortoise board has been around for a very long time. The tortoise is a spiritual animal, and the tortoise board has the effect of nourishing yin and subduing yang. A tortoise board that's been around for so many years should already be considered a divine medicine."

  He said, holding up the turtle shell and shining his flashlight on it, "On the other hand, you see there are marks on this, not cracks, possibly some characters, but they're not complete."

  The middle-aged man said: "Right! Right! It's the character, these two turtle shells are the ones that Xie Fengzi was looking for. The characters were carved on them, but at the time I didn't know they were turtle shells because they were too big. After Xie Fengzi drew the characters, I secretly dug out two pieces."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Using such a long-year-old tortoiseshell, with a unique fragrance on it, it is likely to be a ritual vessel from the Western Queen Mother's country."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Does Zongzi want to take the ritual vessel back?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "It's very likely."

  The middle-aged man said: "But why catch my daughter?"

  Luo Qifeng said: "And also Xiaoye, Xiaoye was also taken away."

  Ming Gui hesitated for a moment, his face not looking good, and said: "It's possible that the time spent in the zongzi was too long. The Gu insect in the mask needs to consume energy, in other words, it needs to absorb nutrients."

  In other words, the little girl and Ye Liu Xiang are likely to become the next hosts of the Gu parasite, also being controlled by the Gu poison...

  Lu Qifeng's heart grew even more anxious upon hearing this.

  The car soon arrived at the foot of the mountain and could no longer continue. Everyone got out of the car, pulled up their luggage and ran upwards.

  Everyone turned on their flashlights and shone them on the road ahead, but because it was so dark in the woods, even with so many flashlights, they couldn't penetrate the darkness. All around were only the sounds of insects chirping, and no other sounds could be heard.

  Wen Baiyu was getting anxious, when suddenly Qi Du let out a "Hoo-hoo" sound and quickly ran forward.

  Qī Dǔn's physique was lithe and agile, running extremely fast, with the crowd almost unable to keep up with him. Especially since Qī Dǔn was still holding onto Egg Baby, Wēn Bái Yǔ feared that he would throw Egg Baby out.

  The crowd chased desperately from behind, but Qi Duan didn't need a flashlight; his eyes glowed in the dark night with extremely high visual acuity, and he sprinted out very far in an instant.

  Wan Kuai Jing Hou quickly chased after him, Luo Qi Feng was worried about Ye Liu Xiang and ran forward quickly. Ming Gui didn't dare to pursue with all his might, there were still many people behind, if the people behind encountered something, it would be a loss.

  Although the middle-aged man was a local, he was far inferior to Wan Jie Jing Hou. Moreover, as he got older, running became somewhat laborious. As he climbed over a mound of earth in front of him, he almost fell down. Wen Bai Yu pulled him up and then heard sounds coming from the grass thicket ahead. The heavy panting grew louder, but it was unclear whether Wan Jie Jing Hou and his men had encountered the dumplings.

  When Wen Baiyu rushed over, he saw Wan Qi Jinghou holding the unconscious little girl in his arms. Seeing the middle-aged man arrive, he immediately threw the person over. The middle-aged man was overjoyed. There were several injuries on the little girl's body, and her neck and wrists had bruises. At first glance, it seemed that she had been poisoned by a corpse toxin, but it wasn't very serious. She should have just fainted from fright.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Where is Ye Liu Xiang?"

  Luo Qifeng's face was very dark, with sweat all over his forehead and panting heavily, obviously the zongzi had run away again.

  Everyone didn't dare to delay any longer, the turtle shell was no longer on the little girl's body. Wen Baiyu said: "You quickly take her down the mountain, we still have to continue chasing upwards."

  The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, holding the little girl and running quickly down the mountain. When they were halfway down, he shouted again: "Don't forget to look down at the foot of the mountain! You must not look! I'm telling the truth!"

  The middle-aged man's voice echoed in the mountains, faintly, with an echo, making it seem somewhat eerie.

  The rustling sound had disappeared, and everyone continued to chase forward. Qi's sense of smell seemed more sensitive than ordinary people, after all, he was a descendant of wolves. However, after climbing the mountain for a while, they saw water, and really didn't know how high the IQ of that dumpling was, actually walking on the water, the scent disappeared instantly.

  Qidong is not a real wolf no matter how you say it, just that his sense of smell is better than ordinary people, and even Qiu Qi can't smell anything.

  Everyone suddenly lost their goal.

  "What shall we do? And Xiao Ye is about to molt."

  Let's not talk about how painful it was for Ye Liu to shed his skin, but say that his shed skin is a treasure. If Zongzi eats the shed skin, he will definitely become more difficult to deal with.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou looked at the turtle board in his hand and said, "Zongzi has obtained the turtle board, he will definitely return to the cave. Let's go find that mountain cave, the general direction should be correct. Moreover, we also have a piece of turtle board on our hands, Zongzi may come over voluntarily."

  After all, without this piece of tortoiseshell in their hands, the ritual vessel would not be complete, and it wouldn't count as a ritual vessel.

  It can only be done now, because after the zongzi flowed away with the water, it lost its trace. The crowd followed the flow of water and walked upstream. The middle-aged man had said before that there was a plank road and a waterfall in that place, and walking along the water flow must be correct.

  Everyone rushed forward quickly, and Wen Baiyu was now more grateful that she had slept in the afternoon. Otherwise, after such a tumultuous night, her physical strength would definitely not have been able to keep up.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou walked very quickly, seeing Wen Bai Yu's forehead sweating, he stretched out his hand to hold his waist, half-supporting and half-embracing him, taking Wen Bai Yu forward.

  Wen Baiyu was exhausted, Qing Qi was also exhausted to the point of sticking out his tongue, like a big dog, but Qi Duan didn't look tired at all, and Wan Kuang Jing Hou had a calm face.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Why don't you sweat at all?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou suddenly stuffed the tortoise shell into Wen Baiyu's hand and said: "You hold onto this."

  The tortoise board has a faint fragrance, I don't know what kind of processing it has been through. It is itself a spiritual medicine that has been around for thousands of years. Holding it in the palm of my hand, there is a cool air, but not cold, running along the palm up, in less than five minutes, really refreshed a lot, and not as tired as before.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the tortoise shell in surprise and said, "Is this really so effective?"

  Everyone chased in one direction, but no shadow was seen. Just as the sky was about to brighten up, Qi Duan suddenly started making a low humming noise "hūn— hūn—" towards a not-so-distant direction.

  "What's wrong?" said Wen Baiyu.

  But Qi Yun couldn't say anything, and was obviously very hostile.

  Qiong Qi sniffed his nose and said: "Blood smell!"

  The crowd immediately ran over and indeed smelled a strong bloody smell. The bloodstains on the ground were scattered all over, still wet and looked very fresh.

  Luo Qifeng's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't care about the danger, rushing forward, following the bloodstains. The trees in front were extremely dense, with almost no place to step down. The grass was as tall as half a person, and one had to part the grass to see the blood on the ground.

  Many people followed the blood trail, and the smell of blood was very strong and getting stronger. After walking a few steps, they found Ye Liu Xiang lying in the grass, his face pale, prostrate on the ground, with scratch wounds on his neck, and a large gash that was constantly bleeding. There were some black flesh under his fingernails, which should be from fighting with Zongzi.

  Luo Qifeng rushed over immediately, and with one swift motion, he scooped up Ye Liuxiang from the ground. The entire floor was covered in blood. Luo Qifeng touched him and instantly got a handful of blood. Apart from his neck, Ye Liuxiang's lower abdomen had also been torn open, as if someone had clawed out a hole. The wound looked extremely gruesome.

  Luo Qifeng held his hand and trembled slightly, saying: "Xiaoye? Xiaoye? Wake up..."

  Ye Liu Xiang seemed to have regained consciousness, saw Luo Qi Feng, tears streaming down his face, lips trembling, voice very weak, said: "Uncle... am I going to die..."

  Luo Qifeng looked at Ye Liuxiang's pale face, his heart twisted, and pressed on Ye Liuxiang's wound, saying: "Won't, won't."

  The crowd rushed up, and Wen Baiyu quickly took out a small bottle from her backpack, which was the tears of the egg that she had been collecting all the time. It was definitely a magical medicine.

  The wound that Ye Liu Xiang had was quite large and looked gruesome, but the healing ability of his tears was absolutely unparalleled.

  Wen Baiyu's tears dripped onto Ye Liu's abdomen, at which point Ye Liu suddenly let out a low growl. Wen Baiyu was startled and her hand trembled. Ye Liu began to convulse all over, shivering uncontrollably, and the wound on his abdomen, not yet healed, started bleeding again.

  Luo Qifeng grasped Ye Liu's hand tightly and said, "It's no good, Little Ye is going to molt."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Hold on, don't let him move, the wound will split open again.'"

  The cicada's molting is extremely painful, and it gets more and more painful each time, as if this kind of thing can also accumulate. Each time the cicada molts, it is more painful than the last time.

  Ye Liu's face contorted into a cute expression, biting her lip and letting out a hoarse roar, her body shaking non-stop as she muttered: "Uncle... uncle... don't look at me, don't look at me..."

  Luo Qifeng's heart ached, and he hugged Ye Liuxiang tightly, not letting him move. "Shh, little Ye, don't say such foolish things, it's okay, it'll be fine in a bit..."

  Ye Liu's struggles are too intense, Egg/Egg's tears are almost used up, his wound is so big, even if Egg/Egg is a crybaby, crying now won't be enough.

  Ming Gui frowned and said, "Hold him down."

  As he spoke, he pulled out a few golden needles and stabbed them into Ye Liu's acupoints. Ye Liu immediately stopped moving, his whole body going limp as he lay in Luo Qi's arms. Only his lips still trembled involuntarily, tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes.

  Luó Qí Fēng kept wiping away his tears, afraid they would flow into his ears. At the same time, he wiped the sweat from his head and said: "Little Ye, be good, it's okay..."

  Because of the golden needle, Ye Liu Xiang stopped moving, and the egg's tears were very effective. The wound healed immediately, and the wound on his neck also healed. In an instant, there was no trace left. Now it's just a matter of waiting for Ye Liu Xiang to shed his skin, which no one can help him with.

  The wound of Ye Liu Xiang had healed, and Ming Gui immediately pulled out the golden needle. Ye Liu Xiang's body almost bounced up, "Hua... hua..." panting for breath.

  Lu Qifeng held him in his arms, constantly comforting Ye Liuxiang. Ye Liuxiang's face turned pale, he trembled a few times, let out a low growl, and fainted into Lu Qifeng's arms.

  Luo Qifeng's eyes snapped open, and after a few seconds, Ye Liuxiang indeed moved slightly, then slowly opened his eyes. His hand trembled slightly, with a transparent cicada shell clutched in his palm.

  Luo Qifeng hastily took over the cicada shell and hugged Ye Liu Xiang saying: "Little Ye, how do you feel? Are you okay?"

  Ye Liu Xiang's voice was weak and breathless, due to excessive blood loss. Dizzy and disoriented, he saw two images of Luo Qi Feng and said: "How...two uncles...so tired..."

  Ye Liu Xiang finished speaking, tilted his head and fell asleep leaning against Luo Feng.

  Luo Qifeng was both amused and relieved, his heart finally back in its normal place.

  Everyone else also let out a sigh of relief, since Ye Liu had already been found, they didn't have to rush forward in a hurry anymore. They looked around and found a clean spot, then sat down to rest.

  Ye Liu Xiang fainted and fell into Lu Qi Feng's arms, everyone else had been busy all night, at this time the sky was brightening up, because there were too many trees in the forest, they didn't see the sunrise.

  Wen Baiyu leaned on Wang Hou's shoulder, yawned, and with a flick of her head, she saw that the seven cubs were already asleep, huddled together in a tight ball.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou held Wen Bai Yu's hand and said, "If you're tired, take a rest for a while."

  Wen Baiyu nodded slightly, indeed also tired, leaned against Wan Kuang Jing Hou's shoulder and closed his eyes to rest, in a short while his consciousness was already not very clear.

  Wen Baiyu didn't know if she was too tired, but her mind kept buzzing, and then she dreamed of a white mask, the shape of which was like a cicada. Wen Baiyu also didn't know why she would be holding such a white mask, and there were many voices in her ears, with someone laughing and saying, "Put it on... put it on..."

  Wen Baiyu felt that the voice was eerie, but it had a kind of hypnotic power, making people's eyes stare straight ahead, and their minds become muddled. Wen Baiyu's eyes slowly became dull, thinking to herself, "It's just a dream, wearing it won't make a difference," perhaps she could still take a look at what was inside the mask.

  Wen Baiyu thought so, and her ears were filled with seductive voices, laughing and saying: "Put it on... put it on..."

  Wen Baiyu's hand slowly lifted up, and the white cicada-shaped mask was as if it had a magnetic attraction, slowly rising up, bit by bit, until it finally attached itself to Wen Baiyu's face. In that instant when the mask was put on, Wen Baiyu felt a suffocating and terrifying sensation.

  "Ah!"

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud cry and suddenly woke up from his dream. Wan Jingshou looked at him tensely, saying: "Baiyu, what's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu's face was covered in sweat, "huffing and puffing" as she gasped for air, her chest heaving rapidly, just like she had just finished running a thousand meters. Her eyes still looked dull, with a hint of fear in them.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't know what he had dreamed of, but Wen Bai Yu, who was leaning on his shoulder and sleeping soundly, suddenly let out a loud shout. Everyone else was startled awake, except for Ye Liu Xiang, who was still in a daze.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand to wipe away the sweat rolling down Wen Bai Yu's face, which was cold and had a cool feeling.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou called out to him several times before Wen Bai Yu slowly came back to his senses, saying: "I... what happened to me?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou let out a displeased laugh and said: "You're still asking me, you yourself shouted loudly just now, were you having a nightmare?"

  Wen Baiyu was stunned by what he said, the dream just now was clearly half a minute ago, but it's a bit unclear, no matter how she thought, it felt like there was a layer of fog in between, and she didn't know if she had shouted loudly just now, only feeling her heart beating rapidly, and she didn't know why, with a sense of fear at the bottom of her heart.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou saw him fall into deep thought again and frowned, saying: "Bai Yu, what's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu shook her head and said: "I just had a strange dream, but I don't remember what it was about."

  He said, rubbing his temples with his hand.

  The poor guy was sprawled in Minggui's arms, his tail and ears already transformed. He swung his large tail back and forth on Minggui's face, causing Minggui's complexion to turn extremely pale, but he endured it without saying a word.

  Qiong Qi said: "I often have dreams, but I forget them after waking up. It doesn't matter, maybe one day I'll remember. Besides, dreams are always the opposite. Once I had a clear dream that I raised a bunch of small white fish, but when I woke up, my food ration was still only one small white fish."

  The poor devil said to the end, still with a somewhat sad tone, Ming Gui finally couldn't bear it anymore, and grabbed the poor devil's tail, the poor devil immediately let out an "ah..." sound, and then his tail and ears all stood up, his face turned red, indeed the poor devil's tail was untouchable, one move and he would get excited...

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but laugh at Gu Qi's appearance, and the fearful feeling from earlier dissipated a lot, gradually calming down.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Wen Bai Yu's chin, turning Wen Bai Yu's face over, saying: "Bai Yu, you've been smiling at other men lately."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu's heart sank, what was wrong with Wan Jingshou, he actually started the CEO Su Su mode again. Wen Baiyu carefully examined herself, when did she smile at another man?

  It's possible that Mo Jie Jing Hou refers to Qi Du. And also the poor Qi from the previous episode of Huo Bao.

  Wen Baiyu patted away Wan Jingshou's hand, Wan Jingshou felt his hand was a bit cold, stretched out his hand to grasp it, opened two buttons on the outer garment, pulled Wen Baiyu's hand in, and inserted it into the outer garment, sticking it to his own chest.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes jumped, and her palm suddenly felt a warmth. Wan Jingshou's chest was hard and strong, wearing only one thin layer of clothing under his coat. Wen Baiyu could feel Wan Jingshou's powerful heartbeat, which made her palm tingle, and her face turned slightly red.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and grasped Wen Bai Yu's hand, placing it on his lips to kiss, saying: "Your palm is warm."

  Wen Baiyu almost wanted to find a seam in the ground to drill into, Wan Jiahui was simply in full CEO mode, it's so awkward that people can't bear to look straight at him...

  Wen Baiyu glanced at the time and found that she hadn't slept for long, only about half an hour. No wonder Ye Liuxiang hadn't woken up yet.

  After another ten or so minutes, Luo Qifeng suddenly moved and said: "Why do I feel that Ye Liuxiang is not quite right?"

  Everyone rushed over and found that Ye Liu Xiang had a slight moan, and his breathing was extremely weak. He seemed to have fainted while he was sleeping.

  Luo Qifeng was somewhat caught off guard, gently patting Ye Liuxiang's cheek and saying: "Little Ye... Little Ye? Wake up."

  Ye Liu Xiang's consciousness was a bit weak, after opening his eyes, he looked at Luo Qi Feng with a blurry gaze, then fell unconscious again.

  Luo Qifeng looked anxious and said: "Is Xiaoye losing too much blood?"

  "He's no longer injured externally and hasn't been poisoned. He must have lost too much blood during the molting process, his body is just too weak."

  Luo Qifeng looked at Ye Liuxiang, who was lifeless in his arms, and suddenly picked him up. He then brought Ye Liuxiang's lips close to his neck and said, "Little Ye? Wake up, are you hungry?"

  Ye Liu Xiang didn't move for half a day, but under Ruo Qifeng's persistent calls, Ye Liu Xiang woke up again from his coma, still without any focus. His eyelids opened slightly, then were about to close again, but at the same time, Ye Liu Xiang suddenly opened his mouth and bit down on Ruo Qifeng's neck.

  "Hmm..."

  Luo Qifeng took a deep breath, but didn't struggle, still tightly hugging Ye Liuxiang. Ye Liuxiang was drunk on blood, almost unconscious, his mind only filled with the desire for blood, the bloody taste spreading between his lips and teeth. The wound from the bite was very large, and due to his thirst for blood, he continued to tear at Luo Qifeng's neck, fresh blood gushing out. Ye Liuxiang didn't have time to swallow, it flowed down his mouth and neck, sliding across his pale skin, making him look eerie and seductive.

  Luo Qifeng just took a deep breath and then fell silent again, only holding Ye Liuxiang.

  Poor Qi looked straight and trembled, saying: "So painful, so painful."

  Ye Liu Xiang didn't know how long he had been drinking, but Lou Qi Feng was starting to feel dizzy and lightheaded. Everyone had witnessed Ye Liu Xiang's blood-sucking abilities before, and if it weren't for the fact that Ye Liu Xiang was currently too weak, Lou Qi Feng would probably have been sucked dry in no time.

  Wen Baiyu saw that Luo Qi's face had turned somewhat pale, with cold sweat all over his head. He said: "Quickly, stop Little Ye, don't let this one be okay and then the other one faints again."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and gently pinched Ye Liu Xiang's neck, causing him to let out a faint "ah" before passing out.

  Luo Qifeng covered his own neck with one hand and hugged Ye Liuxiang with the other. Drinking blood really worked, Ye Liuxiang's face turned red and moist, with a blood bead still hanging on his lips, and his neck was also full of blood threads, but his breathing was stronger than before, and his heartbeat stabilized.

  Luó Qī Fēng let out a sigh of relief, and Wēn Bái Yǔ quickly used the last of their tears to stop his bleeding. With that, all the tears they had saved up were gone. Luó Qī Fēng's wound healed immediately, but the lost blood couldn't be replenished, leaving his face still somewhat pale. The blood loss made Luó Qī Fēng's heart beat faster, giving him a feeling of dizziness and shortness of breath. However, looking at Yè Liú Xiǎng's rosy complexion, Luó Qī Fēng couldn't help but feel reassured once again.

  Qiong Qi looked at Lü Feng's face and let out a deep sigh. Ming Gui said: "What's wrong?"

  Qiong Qi wagged his tail and said with a sigh: "I think Uncle Luo is really good to Little Ye, when can I find such a good girl to pair up with?"

  Wen Baiyu's eyelid twitched as he listened.

  Ming Gui's expression finally changed. Qiong Qi really had the ability to make Ming Gui, a thousand-year-old poker face, change his expression.

  The ghost narrowed his eyes and said in a very dangerous tone: "You want to find a girl?"

  The poor guy wagged his tail and said: "It's okay if you can't find a girl, a female beast will do too. The key is that she must be good to me, I like gentle ones... Oh my mom!"

  Qiong Qi hadn't finished speaking, when Ming Gui had already grabbed his tail. Qiong Qi let out a loud roar, and his body immediately went limp, his face bright red, saying: "What are you doing!"

  Ming Gui laughed and said, "You think you can find a girl or a female beast with your current state?"

  "This clan of mine... our tails are sensitive, what's it to you?!"

  Ming Gui laughed again, Qiong Qi involuntarily shivered, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Ming Gui's hand rose and fell, pricking Qiong Qi's body several times. Qiong Qi immediately shivered even more severely, his throat let out a "hū..." sound, then his face turned red, his body trembled, and he suddenly went limp in Ming Gui's arms. After that, he weakly lifted his head, his eyes were all wet.

  Ming Gui put away his golden needle and said: "You this quick shooter/hand still want to find a girl? Don't harm the girl."

  Qiong Qi immediately jumped up, shouting loudly, explaining that the ghost was using yin energy, so he would come out so quickly. However, Qiong Qi had just been pricked a few times, which made him ejaculate prematurely, and his whole body felt weak. After jumping up, he fell back down again.

  Wen Baiyu rubbed his temples, Qiong Qi was a bit of a softie, Ming Gui didn't like to show emotions, and these two just got along like that. However, Qiong Qi had no backbone and temporarily submitted to Ming Gui's dominance...

  At this time, Ye Liuxiang woke up, rubbed his mouth, and there was still a bloody taste in his mouth. Luo Qifeng had already wiped away the blood stains on his mouth and neck. As soon as Ye Liuxiang opened his eyes, he saw Uncle's face, but it was paler than usual, with dark circles under his eyes.

  Luo Qifeng saw that he was awake and was slightly surprised, saying: "Xiaoye, are you awake?"

  Ye Liu responded with a murmur, feeling that her body had recovered quickly. She sat up directly from Ruo Qifeng's arms, and there was no longer any mark on the back of his neck. The wound on Dan Dan's eye had healed quickly, but her face was somewhat pale.

  Ye Liu Xiang said: "Uncle, what's wrong with your face?"

  Luo Qifeng curled up his index finger, drew a stroke on the bridge of Ye Liu's nose, and smiled: "It's not that I didn't sleep all night watching you, just a bit sleepy."

  Ye Liu said with a pouting mouth: "Uncle, you're lying."

  Luo Qifeng was stunned for a moment, then said: "You little brat, you know it yourself, why ask me?"

  Ye Liu Xiang hugged Ruo Qi Feng's neck, her tongue tip licking his neck, the hot and cool sensations making Ruo Qi Feng's breathing immediately heavy. Ye Liu Xiang buried her head in Ruo Qi Feng's shoulder pit, exhaling warm air as she said: "Uncle... my body feels so uncomfortable, touch me..."

  Luo Qifeng's face turned red when he said that, this place is remote and desolate, and with so many people around, it's not good to have intimate interactions with Ye Liuxiang.

  However, every time Ye Liu Xiang drank his own blood, he became more impulsive and liked to be coquettish with himself. Ye Liu Xiang's body was special because it had been broken during the molting process, so this life would never have sexual function. But when doing it with Luo Qi Feng, although Ye Liu Xiang couldn't ejaculate from the front, he already had an upward trend.

  Ye Liu Xiang clung to Ruo Qi Feng, his eyes dazed, the air in his mouth hot as he sprayed it onto Ruo Qi Feng's shoulder, Ruo Qi Feng patted Ye Liu Xiang's back and kissed his ear, saying "Good boy, hold on a bit."

  Ye Liu's ear was kissed by him, and she immediately moaned, her eyes dazed as she said: "Uncle... so comfortable..."

  Luo Qifeng's nerves were on the verge of shattering, and he didn't know why. Every time Ye Liu Xiang drank his own blood, he became extremely excited. In the past, Ye Liu Xiang would only drink a little bit, but this time, because Ye Liu Xiang was unconscious, he drank a lot.

  Luo Qifeng finally managed to calm down Ye Liuxiang with great difficulty, and he felt like he was sweating bullets. This time it wasn't cold sweat, but hot sweat.

  Wen Baiyu asked Ye Liu what had happened.

  Ye Liu Xiang said: "I don't know what happened either, after Uncle left, I was alone in the house, and I couldn't hear anything. I felt a ghostly eye flash by, but I didn't see it clearly. This ghostly eye thing is like a post-horse cannon, there's no time to react at all. I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, there was a foul smell, and we were already on the mountain. That Zongzi was really ugly, Uncle, he actually wanted to kiss me!"

  Ye Liu Xiang said, tugging at Rong Qifeng's sleeve, "You still want to kiss me mouth-to-mouth, I was scared to death back then."

  Luo Qifeng's face turned black, but it wasn't because Ye Liuxiang was trying to take liberties with him, rather it was because that zongzi probably wanted to pass the Gu worm in his body to Ye Liuxiang.

  Ye Liu said: "At that time, I smelled a foul smell, felt so nauseous that I almost died, I wanted to run away, but then the zongzi discovered me and I got hurt, and fainted."

  Wen Baiyu said: "When we found you, there was only one of you, and no zongzi."

  Ye Liu wiped her mouth with a tissue and said: "That ugly guy wouldn't have kissed me already, would he?!"

  "Can you tell if someone has been possessed by a gu or not?" asked Luo Qifeng.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "This is very difficult to discern, unless it's when the Gu poison takes effect. Generally, the Gu insects are silent and invisible, and can't be detected."

  Luo Qifeng was a bit worried, after all, Ye Liuxiang had zongzi when he fainted, but when they found him, there was no zongzi. If the zongzi didn't transfer the Gu worm, why would it abandon Ye Liuxiang?

  Ye Liu Xiang didn't feel uncomfortable for the time being. Everyone put on their backpacks, preparing to continue climbing up the mountain to take a look at that immortal cave.

  Lu Qifeng was a bit weak from blood loss, and his physical strength wasn't as good as before. Everyone decided to slow down their pace in order to take care of Lu Qifeng. They also had a turtle shell with them, so the zongzi might be lurking in ambush. Slowing down would have its benefits, lest they rush along too quickly and get ambushed by the zongzi.

  As they walked until noon, everyone sat down to rest and started a fire to prepare lunch. Qi Duan had been hungry for a while and was crying out loud. Dan Dan was being held in Xiao Zhan Long's arms, not needing to walk at all, looking very comfortable. He peeled open the sausage to feed Qi Duan. Qi Duan, being tall and strong, chased after Xiao Zhan Long and Dan Dan wanting the sausage. Dan Dan was teased into laughing out loud, while Xiao Zhan Long had a black face.

  Everyone gathered around the bonfire, Wen Baiyu prepared food, Qi Du ate hastily, taking advantage of this time, Wen Baiyu brought over Egg Baby to take a look. Egg Baby was covered by Qi Du and felt particularly warm, the entire egg was warm and cozy, emitting a warm atmosphere, the white egg was very shiny, under the sunlight it looked very radiant.

  The egg baby was quiet and still, with no cracks on the surface. Every time an egg baby was born, it would crack open quickly, but this egg baby didn't react at all. Wen Baiyu thought to herself, could it be because she had been pregnant for too short a time, so the incubation period needed to be longer?

  The wolf finished eating and then took the egg baby away, carefully wrapping it in a blanket as if afraid that the forest's chill would make the egg baby catch cold, and holding the egg baby to rest on one side.

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback, wondering who was actually the father?!

  Qī Dǔn's appetite was still astonishing, Wēn Bái Yǔ calculated that if they continued like this, they would run out of rations before reaching the top of the mountain. He wondered if there were any wild game in the forest that they could hunt.

  While everyone was eating, Wen Baiyu found the tape in his backpack and picked it up to take a look. As soon as he picked up the tape, Qi Duan immediately looked up, her blue eyes fixed on the tape, then ran over and sniffed the smell on the tape.

  Wen Baiyu found Qi Duan's actions very strange and said: "Qi Duan, do you know this?"

  Qī Dǔ immediately shook his head. Wēn Bái Yǔ thought for a moment, Qī Dǔ had always been in the prison of the tomb, how could he possibly know what a video tape was?

  "Then do you recognize the smell above?"

  Qī Dǔ nodded this time.

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed. Could it be that Qi Duan had met Xie Zhen?

  Qiong Qi came over to make trouble at this time, sniffed and said: "A smell of corpses, but there is also a smell of smoked meat. I like smoked meat. Why didn't we bring some smoked meat up the mountain?"

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback by Qiong Qi's words, and all the information he had just gathered scattered. What Qiong Qi said made sense - after all, many people had handled this VHS tape, and Xie Tongzi should have been one of the first. Except for Xie Tongzi, the corpse had already been with the VHS tape, so it must have smelled like something. Earlier, Qi Duan had followed the scent of the corpse as he ran forward, so he should be familiar with its smell. Also, the middle-aged man had also handled the VHS tape, and even Qiong Qi could smell the scent of smoked meat...

  Seven sighs, and still can't express it, this problem is really too difficult to solve...

  Wen Baiyu studied the tape for a while, this thing is too old-fashioned, he was in high school when he saw the small shops renting tapes, Jin Hua's family used to have a VHS player at home, now such things are obsolete, there is no place to find them, can only wait until they get back and transfer them to the computer to watch.

  Wen Baiyu carefully put away the tape like a treasure and placed it at the bottom of her backpack before tightening it.

  Everyone had eaten and was about to continue on their journey, but when Wan Qi Jing Hou picked up his backpack, he turned around and found that Wen Bai Yu had fallen asleep.

  Wen Baiyu hung her head low, nodding slightly, her body still tilted to one side, somehow managing to prop herself up, but on the verge of collapse. Her eyes were sunken with dark circles underneath, and her face looked tired.

  Wen Baiyu didn't even know how he fell asleep himself. He was extremely tired, and almost every minute he wasn't talking to him, Wen Baiyu would fall asleep.

  He had another dream, and it was also very strange. Wen Baiyu found that there was no one around him, only himself standing in the woods, with trees crisscrossing each other. His heart was racing fast, feeling flustered, but he was very sure that he was dreaming.

  Wen Baiyu comforted herself, thinking it was just a dream and she hadn't really gotten lost.

  He wanted to wake up quickly, but didn't know why he couldn't wake up. Wen Baiyu suddenly saw that there was someone in front of him and involuntarily quickened his pace, walking a few steps forward.

  A man lay on the ground, wearing a half-length coat and a pair of boots, his attire was very familiar, he lay motionless on the ground, with a white cicada-shaped mask on his face!

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, and at this moment the mask actually moved. The mask twitched slightly, scaring Wen Baiyu back a step. Immediately after, the mask continued to twitch, as if something inside was constantly pushing against it.

  With a "crack", the mask was completely knocked to the ground, rolling around non-stop. The person on the ground had their mouth wide open, and cicada-shaped parasites were crawling out of it one after another. The scene was disgustingly deadly.

  Wen Baiyu's mind buzzed as he clearly saw the face of the person on the ground, no wonder the clothes looked so familiar, because the person lying on the ground was none other than Wen Baiyu himself!

  Wan Jie Jing Hou looked at Wen Bai Yu's exhausted face and felt a pang of sympathy, walking over to support him. Just as he grasped Wen Bai Yu's arm, Wen Bai Yu suddenly gasped "hū——" and his body trembled violently, straightening up so abruptly that his forehead almost bumped into Wan Jie Jing Hou's chin.

  Wen Baiyu woke up with a start from his dream, instantly covered in sweat. Wan Qi Jinghou reached out to support him and said: "What's wrong? You've been asleep for just one minute and you're already having nightmares?"

  Wen Baiyu stared blankly at Wan Kuang Jinghou, still a bit dazed, her mind buzzing with thoughts, muttering to herself: "I really want... I dreamed of a white mask."

  No matter how hard she tried, Wen Baiyu couldn't remember anything else. She had a feeling that she knew what was happening in her dream just a moment ago, and it seemed like the details were very clear, but now it felt like there was a layer of fog in her brain, separating her from the dream world. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall anything, and her heart was filled with a sense of panic and fear. What was going on?

  Wan Kuang saw how exhausted he was, reached out and wiped his sweat, saying: "Can you still walk?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said, "It's nothing."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou pulled him up from the ground and everyone was ready to set off.

  They walked up the mountain, which was still quite high, and in some places the trees were too dense, making it unclear where to step, and walking was extremely laborious.

  It was dusk when I still walked against the river and had not yet encountered a plank road or waterfall.

  Wen Baiyu was so tired that he fell asleep on the back of Wan Jie Jinghou, who carried him forward while he slept soundly.

  At this time, a "wow..." sound came from afar, the sky began to darken, and there was a rustling sound in the woods, which sounded like a wolf. This mountain is so high, the trees are so dense, it would be strange if there were no wolves.

  The forest was very dark, and several wolves gathered from afar, their eyes emitting a cold light, as if they had locked onto their prey, slowly closing in.

  Seven Duan hugged the egg baby, and a blue cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes. Those wild wolves were like being frightened, making "嗷呜" sounds, like defeated big dogs, rushing into the depths of the forest, and before they could surround them, they ran away in fright.

  Wen Baiyu listened to the noise and seemed to have been woken up. He moved, and Wan Jingshou turned his head to look over and said, "Awake?"

  "Huh? I fell asleep again?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "You look like you're pregnant again."

  Wen Baiyu's face turned red, and she didn't know what to think. She opened her mouth and bit Wan Jingshou's ear. Wan Jingshou let out a "hiss" sound and laughed, saying: "I'll bite you back later."

  Wen Bai's face was burning, and he didn't know why he always felt drowsy. But since the last time he laid an egg-baby, Wan Qi Jing Hou had been considerate of his body, and they hadn't really done it even once. Last time was close, but they were interrupted by Mu Qi and Ming Gui's sudden visit. Usually, it was just Wan Qi Jing Hou helping him relieve himself, not that holding hands would get him pregnant, how could he possibly be pregnant again?

  The sky grew dark, and there were too many trees underfoot, making it difficult to hurry along. They also feared that the zongzi would launch a sneak attack on them, so they stopped and set up camp in a relatively spacious area.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou put down Wen Bai Yu and let him lean against a tree to sit, saying: "You rest for a while, I'll go help."

  Wen Baiyu himself wanted to go and help, but he didn't have the energy, having just woken up from sleep, he felt a bit tired again.

  Because Wen Baiyu was suspected of being ill, dinner was also made by Wan Qi Jinghou. Although Wan Qi Jinghou's cooking is not as delicious as Wen Baiyu's, he used to cook for himself alone and wouldn't starve himself, so the food he makes can still fill one's stomach.

  Qiong Qi and Ye Liu Xiang praised the dishes made by Wan Kuai Jing Hou, Luo Qi Feng was used to it and thought they were just okay, Ming Gui didn't like to comment, only Qi Du gave face and ate hastily.

  Little Feather had a snack with Little Blood Bone Flower, Little Feather liked sweet things, and Little Blood Bone Flower prepared many flowers/honey for storage. As long as Little Feather wanted to eat, she would change the style and take it out at any time.

  Dan/Dan has never been enthusiastic about eating, no wonder he's always the smallest, snuggled in Xiao Long's arms, holding a peeled sausage and playing with Qi Dian.

  Little dragon patted the egg's buttocks and said: "Eat well."

  The egg pouted and said with a pitiful expression: "Brother hit me..."

  As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, and Xiao Chonglong felt a headache coming on. Egg was a crybaby, always bursting into tears at the drop of a hat, especially when it came to Xiao Chonglong. His tears flowed as freely as water, leaving Xiao Chonglong at a loss for what to do with him. That pitiful little face tugged at his heartstrings.

  Xiao Chui Long said helplessly: "Then I won't hit you, hurry up and eat."

  Egg is still very wronged, with an accusing face saying: "Brother is bad, not gentle."

  Xiao Zhu Long: *silence*

  Little dragon's sunspot jumped, looking at the egg / egg fanning big eyes, eyelashes are all teardrops, pitiful to no end, sighed, softened voice, said: "Good, eat well or not, eat after play."

  The egg finally cracked a smile, and the tears were gone. Laughing, he let Xiao Chong Long feed him, eating while kicking his little legs, looking very relaxed. As he ate, he said: "Brother is the best!"

  Then, with a shiny mouth, "smack" a kiss on the little dragon's cheek, leaving an oily mark on its face, which turned gloomy, making Egg/Egg burst out laughing.

  Everyone was eating, Ye Liu Xiang suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, Wen Baiyu fell asleep with her bowl in hand."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou tilted his head to one side, and for half a minute he didn't respond. He actually fell asleep, the bowl in his hand tilting precariously, with its contents almost spilling out.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou quickly took over Wen Bai Yu's bowl and shook it, saying "Bai Yu?"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly woke up, opened his eyes wide, and then let out a sigh of relief, saying: "I fell asleep again?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Eat something and then go to sleep quickly."

  Wen Baiyu didn't have much of an appetite, after eating two mouthfuls of food, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at him eating like a fool, reached out and touched his forehead, saying: "Can't eat?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said, "There's no taste in his mouth."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Go to sleep first, and eat when you're hungry later."

  Ye Liu Xiang pulled at Rong Qiao Feng's sleeve, laughing and saying: "Uncle, uncle, is Wen Bai Yu pregnant again? She doesn't want to eat anything and just sleeps all the time."

  Luo Qifeng's old face turned red and said: "Hurry up and eat."

  Ye Liu Xiang laughed and held a bowl, with a palm-sized face almost covered by the bowl, revealing her lively eyes, staring at Wen Bai Yu walking into the tent. Wen Bai Yu's face was burning, but she felt like there was something else, it was really impossible!

  Wen Baiyu entered the tent, got into the quilt and after a while, Wan Qi Jinghou came in with a thermometer to take his temperature.

  Wen Baiyu snuggled up with the thermometer, and soon fell asleep. Wan Xiang Jinghou sat beside her for five minutes, then reached into Wen Baiyu's quilt to retrieve the thermometer. As he moved slightly, Wen Baiyu woke up again, dazedly asking: "What's going on?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stroked Wen Bai Yu's forehead with one hand, while rotating the thermometer with the other, saying: "It's nothing, just a slight low-grade fever. Go to sleep quickly and you'll be fine when you wake up. I'm watching over you. If your temperature rises again, we can give you some medicine."

  Wen Baiyu murmured another unclear "uh-huh", but actually didn't hear clearly what Wan Jingshou said.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou covered Wen Bai Yu with the quilt, although this place was warmer than Bei Jing, but in the woods, the temperature difference between morning and evening was relatively large, and it was a bit humid. The tent wasn't a house, so it must have been drafty, Wan Jie Jing Hou feared that he would be blown by the wind again.

  It's getting late, and people outside are coming in one after another. Luo Qifeng asked, "How is Wen Baiyu?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I have a slight fever, I'll keep watch tonight, you all go to sleep."

  Everyone went to sleep, and didn't let Wan Xi Jing Hou keep watch at night. He must be watching Wen Bai Yu, he won't sleep either.

  In the middle of the night, Wen Baiyu's body temperature rose again. Wan Xizong didn't even need to use a thermometer; he just reached out and felt it. His forehead was scorching hot, and he had broken out in a sweat. Wen Baiyu wasn't behaving himself, kicking off his covers as if the heat was unbearable.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt tightly, saying: "Bai Yu? Bai Yu, wake up and take your medicine."

  Wen Baiyu didn't wake up no matter how he was called, and continued to sleep soundly. Because of the heat, he even competed with Wan Jinhou, not covering himself with a quilt. As soon as the quilt was covered, it was immediately thrown open again.

  Wen Baiyu's movements were a bit big, when she lifted the quilt, she also lifted the corner of her clothes. Wan Jingshou's heart skipped a beat immediately, and he stretched out his hand to pull open Wen Baiyu's clothes.

  Wen Baiyu's body suddenly felt cool, and she broke out in sweat. She finally didn't feel hot anymore. As the wind blew, she shivered and woke up to find that all the buttons on her clothes had been torn off by Wan Jiahui. However, there was no hint of a smile or joke on Wan Jiahui's face.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow, his face very gloomy, as if he was about to hail, staring at Wen Bai Yu's body. Wen Bai Yu looked down and saw that there were some green flower patterns on his chest and abdomen, which had spread from his arm. The color of the flower pattern was not deep, but somehow it had spread...

  Wen Baiyun subconsciously touched the wooden plaque hanging from her neck, and it was still there, so why did the toxicity suddenly spread?

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's face looked very unsightly, and he said: "Take off your clothes, let me see other places."

  Wen Baiyu was a bit cold, but he still started taking off his clothes. Wan Jingshou covered him with a quilt, and Wen Baiyu took off his pants to reveal that his legs also had the same pale green floral pattern, which was shallow but very clear, spiraling across his skin in a faintly seductive manner...
