Touch a corpse to fall in love
Chapter 85 Extra Story 1: Looking for Medicine
It turned out that from the very beginning, Ouyang Fulin was in their camp.
"Your injury..."
Ouyang Fulin immediately said: "It's not a problem." His eyes were glued to Cheng Xiao's face, as if he wanted to engrave this face in his mind.
Cheng Xiao avoided Ouyang Fulin's sight, got up and ran towards the green clothes quickly.At this time, Lvyi was in a bad mood, her body was covered with blood, and her eyes had lost the previous vivid color.
Cheng Xiao gently knelt aside, looked at the lifeless face of the bus, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.After knowing about Lvyi's feelings, Cheng Xiao was most worried that Lvyi would be overwhelmed, so he suppressed his sobs and said softly, "Lvyi, do you still remember Nuwa's heart?"
"Nuwa's heart?" Lvyi's body shook, and she looked at Cheng Xiao in disbelief, "... really?"
Cheng Xiao nodded: "Yes, I know where it is." As long as you find Nuwa's heart, the bus will still be saved!
After hearing Cheng Xiao's words, Lv Yi had a look of crying or not, and finally cried loudly and hugged the body of the bus tightly.Cheng Xiao didn't expect Lv Yi to react like this, and he was at a loss for a while.
Xiao Rang came over and helped Cheng Xiao up, and said, "Let her stay alone for a while."
Cheng Xiao nodded, and went back with Xiao Rang to help Ouyang Cheng deal with his injuries.Ouyang Fulin no longer needed to hide the fact that he had taken the elixir, so his wound recovered quickly, so he didn't ask Cheng Xiao to help him deal with it.
After everything was taken care of, Lvyi's mood also stabilized.Everyone took the body of the bus back to the place where the undead lake was, and found a cave to put the body of the bus.Ouyang Fulin used spells to keep his soul alive and his body immortal.
Half a month later, everyone returned to City A.
What is ironic is that when Cheng Xiao and Xiao Rang returned to City A, they found that they had nowhere to go and no money to use.Cheng Xiao even joked about what to do if he couldn't support Xiao Rang in the future, and in the end Ouyang Fulin took the initiative to let the two go to Ouyang's house for two nights.
On the third day, everyone had already prepared all the things to go to Xiao Rang's tomb.Lvyiqiang was talking and laughing with everyone, but Cheng Xiao could see the urgency and anxiety in her heart.
After arriving in Suzhou, Cheng Xiao and Xiao Rang took the initiative to lead the way.The journey was fairly uneventful.It wasn't until they crossed a forest in the north of Xiao County and entered the mountains that everyone realized that someone was already waiting for them here.
Han Ruoruo's appearance has not changed much, she is still an elegant and generous beauty.She was leaning on the off-road vehicle beside her, looking at Cheng Xiao and the others while smoking a cigarette.
"Ruoruo?" Cheng Xiao was a little surprised, he found that Han Ruoruo looked at Xiao Rang very unkindly.
Han Ruoruo exhaled a smoke ring, stood up straight and said, "You don't mind if I go with you?"
Ouyang Fulin said: "Mind."
Lv Yi took a step forward and said: "Do you think we are stupid? Take you to stab us with a knife? If you are sensible, get out! I don't want to do anything to you now!"
Han Ruoruo raised her eyebrows slightly: "You're still quite angry." She turned her eyes around the crowd, and finally landed on Cheng Xiao, "I have a hexagonal star wheel here. If you don't want it, then I'll go back .”
Cheng Xiao said, "You have?"
This hexagonal star wheel is the key to open the bronze panchi dragon pattern box, and both are indispensable.He now has three in his hand, one was obtained from Xiao Rang's coffin, one was given by the female ghost in the birch forest, and the other was obtained in the underground water city of the Immortal Kingdom.There are seven star wheels in total, and four are still missing.If Han Ruoruo really has one, then Cheng Xiao can't let her go back no matter what.
"What do you want?" Cheng Xiao thought for a while and decided to take Han Ruoruo with him.After all, Han Ruoruo was only one person, so there were so many of them that they wouldn't be really afraid of her.
Han Ruoruo raised the corners of her lips: "My request is quite simple... I heard that the elixir of immortality requires a total of 108 herbs, and there are at least two ingredients in the ancient Xiao Kingdom. I just want to try it."
Cheng Xiao was silent for a while, and said: "These people who follow you can't take them with you."
Han Ruoruo nodded: "Okay." Afterwards, Han Ruoruo packed up his things, let the bodyguards and thugs who were hiding in the dark go back, and told them not to talk nonsense when they went back, then he joined Cheng Xiao and the others in a team and walked back to the mountain .
When we arrived at the location of Xiao Rang's tomb, there were still some archaeologists left behind.At this time, Ouyang Fulin was needed to step out.He is a famous professor of history, and it is easy to enter Xiao Rang's tomb.Everyone took advantage of him and went in together without much effort.
There was a chilly air in the tomb passage, and it was already a bit chilly here in November, so Cheng Xiao couldn't help but sneezed.Xiao Rang immediately took off his coat and let Cheng Xiao wear it, which made Cheng Xiao a little embarrassed.
The size of Xiao Rang's tomb is small, but there are many ear chambers.There are fourteen in total, distributed on both sides and around the main tomb in turn.Everyone moved separately, Ouyang Fulin was in a group with Ouyang Cheng, Lvyi was in a group with Han Ruoruo, and Cheng Xiao was in a group with Xiao Rang.
Entering an ear room on the right, Cheng Xiao took out a notebook from his backpack, and drew on the pattern on the top of the tomb, while Xiao Rang sat down by the chessboard below.After Cheng Xiao finished drawing, he turned his head and saw Xiao Rang's concentration, and couldn't help but lean over to follow his line of sight to check the chessboard.
"What's the matter?" This chessboard is a formation that Fusu set up to appease Xiao Rang's soul back then, and it consists of fourteen different chessboards.After Xiao Rang's coffin was dug out, the formation would be self-defeating.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little strange." Xiao Rang pressed his forehead with confusion in his eyes.
Cheng Xiao didn't quite understand Xiao Rang's words, so he sat beside him and waited for a while.Suddenly, Cheng Xiao saw that the chess game seemed to come alive, and he started to play automatically in front of him!
Cheng Xiao grabbed Xiao Rang by the shoulder and pulled him away from the table.The two looked at the chess game for a long while, and finally the chess game turned into a different look.The middle part is partially sunken, and there is a dark tray inside.
Cheng Xiao was surprised: "It's a six-pointed star wheel!"
Cheng Xiao remembered that he gave the hexagonal star wheel to five of his subordinates.Let them take them to different places, and never return to the Central Plains.Now the three hexagonal star wheels he collected by accident, although unexpected, are also reasonable.The one in Han Ruoruo's hand, he only thought that Han Ruoruo was a descendant of one of Su's subordinates back then.But why is there a hexagonal star wheel in this tomb?Fusu personally supervised the construction of this tomb, how could there be such an accident? !
Xiao Rang stepped forward to take out the star wheel, and pressed the convex | point in the middle, and the star wheel immediately stretched out six copper legs.
"Let's go. An extra key is a good thing." Xiao Rang put the star wheel into the backpack, stepped forward and took Cheng Xiao's hand, "Don't tell others yet."
Cheng Xiao nodded in agreement.The two continued to walk to the next tomb.There were no surprises along the way.Even though Cheng Xiao and Xiao Rang sat by the chessboard and studied the chessboard every time like the first tomb, those chessboards never changed.It seems that there is only this star wheel in the tomb.
After everyone gathered in the main tomb, everyone took out their own drawings and put them together, and everyone took photos with their mobile phones.
In fact, the patterns on the tops of these fourteen tombs, when put together, are exactly the map of the ancient Xiao Kingdom site.Only Fusu back then knew about this.After Cheng Xiao got Fusu's memory, he didn't really remember the route to the ancient Xiao Kingdom, so everyone came here to get the map.
As soon as this matter was settled, Han Ruoruo proposed to go to the ruins of the ancient Xiao Kingdom immediately.Cheng Xiao felt that he should find some other six-pointed star wheels first.
"What if the remaining star wheel is in the ancient Xiao country?" Han Ruoruo said.
"It's impossible." After Cheng Xiao finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the hexagonal star wheel he got in the tomb, and didn't know whether he should continue to refute Han Ruoruo.
Han Ruoruo sneered: "Cheng Xiao, you don't even think about where the ancient Xiao country is. If we miss this time, can we still go in next time?"
As soon as Lvyi heard that the opportunity was only this time, he hurriedly asked: "What does it mean to miss this time? Isn't it possible to enter the ancient Xiao Kingdom with a key?"
Han Ruoruo glanced at Lvyi, then walked outside.Lu Yi grabbed Cheng Xiao's hand and said, "What does she mean?"
Cheng Xiao moved his lips, and after Xiao Rang pushed away the green clothes, he said with a look of embarrassment: "The conditions for entering the ancient Xiao kingdom, in addition to the key, you must also have the blood of the ancient Xiao royal family, and you must be on the night of the solar eclipse." Enter."
Of these three conditions, royal blood is the simplest, and Xiao Rang has always been by Cheng Xiao's side.As for the keys, the few they had were enough for them to open the two most important gates in the ruins.Only the night of the solar eclipse, according to Ouyang Fulin's observation, a large-scale total solar eclipse will occur across the country in a week.And the ruins of the ancient Xiao Kingdom happened to be within the scope of the total solar eclipse.This kind of large-scale total solar eclipse, if you miss this time, you will have to wait for at least ten more years!
For Han Ruoruo knowing these three conditions, Cheng Xiao was both surprised and perturbed.This even made him have to doubt Han Ruoruo's identity.After all, as long as he and Xiao Rang knew the conditions for entering the ancient Xiao Kingdom, even Ouyang Fulin was told by Cheng Xiaogang not long ago.
Everyone left the ancient tomb with their own concerns.By the time we walked out of the mountain, it was already the morning of the second day.Everyone was a little tired, so they temporarily found a small hotel in a nearby town to stay.
Perhaps it was Han Ruoruo's identity that provoked Xiao Rang, this time Xiao Rang was very strong and asked for a room with Cheng Xiao.When Cheng Xiao came out of the shower, Xiao Rang threw him on the bed.
Cheng Xiao instantly knew what Xiao Rang wanted to do.
"You, wait a minute." Cheng Xiao grabbed Xiao Rang's arm and said hastily, "I have to take the car tomorrow, what if I can't walk?"
Xiao Rang kissed Cheng Xiao's eyelids, pecked his cheek once, and asked, "Is it her?"
Cheng Xiao tightened his ten fingers on Xiao Rang's arm slightly, and said after a while, "It should be... right." Besides Zheng Ji, who would know the secrets of the ancient Xiao Kingdom?From the moment he recalled the memory of his previous life, Cheng Xiao deliberately didn't think about Han Ruoruo's identity.But things had developed to this point, and he could no longer escape.
After all, Han Ruoruo and Zheng Ji are somewhat similar.
Looking at Xiao Rang's tense face, Cheng Xiao said, "Don't worry. She's not coming for me." Even if she was coming for him, he wouldn't be shaken, so he changed the topic and said, "Do you think about it?" Think, what is there in the ruins that Zheng Ji can't put down and must get back?" It is said that it is for the medicine of immortality, but in fact, everyone knows that medicine of immortality is something that only the undead people can refine.Han Ruoruo's reason is a bit far-fetched.
Xiao Rang lay down next to Cheng Xiao, hugged him and said, "I don't know."
Xiao Rang's tone was a bit dull, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but raised his head and kissed the corner of his mouth and said, "After this matter is over, I'll take you home. Anyway, I don't have a car, a house, or even a job in City A. Why don't we go back to my hometown and open a small shop together."
A gleam of joy flashed in Xiao Rang's eyes, but he quickly disappeared.He lowered his head and hugged Cheng Xiao tightly, and after a long while, he whispered: "Okay." After a pause, he added, "Limited to one month. We don't care whether we get the medicine or not after one month." thing."
Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment, and before Xiao Rang frowned, he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, if we can't get the medicine this time, we'll go back." It's not that Cheng Xiao didn't want to try a second time, but that the opportunity of the solar eclipse is just too much. This time, if he really failed, he really didn't want to come up with a second way to save the bus in a short time.It's better to agree to Xiao Rang now, so that he can feel at ease.
On the second day, everyone packed up their things and set off for Xiao County, Anhui.
In fact, the ruins of the ancient Xiao Kingdom are not in Xiao County, but near a wasteland half a day away from Xiao County.Cheng Xiao took the map, Ouyang Fulin and Ouyang Cheng took turns driving.The crowd headed there with equipment and needed supplies.
In the evening, everyone camped near the wasteland.Here is a desolate place, except for the loess and silt, there is only the Yellow River a few hundred meters away.It was unbelievably desolate.
Green clothes took a small bag of charcoal from the car, took the pots and pans, and started cooking.They will probably have to wait here for five and a half days.According to Ouyang Fulin's observations, the total solar eclipse will start around 11:13 on November 17 and last until around midnight. During this period, the entrance to the ancient Xiao Kingdom site may appear.They have to be ready before that.
I don't know if it's Cheng Xiao's illusion, but he thinks the total solar eclipse this time is very coincidental.He even occasionally naively wondered if Empress Baizhen was helping them in the upper realm?
Of course, he just thought about these thoughts casually. If he said it, even "theists" like them would think that there was something wrong with his mind.
After eating, Ouyang Cheng kept watch, and the others went back to their tents to rest.In the middle of the night, Cheng Xiao felt a little anxious, so he quietly got up and went out to drain the water.When he came back, he saw Han Ruoruo standing in front of his tent, staring at him motionless, with the light of the fire and Ouyang Cheng's cold gaze.
Cheng Xiao knew that Xiao Rang's sleep was very shallow, and he probably knew that Han Ruoruo was outside, so he didn't plan to get entangled with Han Ruoruo, so he whispered, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Han Ruoruo took two steps forward, stopped Cheng Xiao and said, "Do you think I can sleep?"
Cheng Xiao said: "Probably you are not sleepy enough."
Han Ruoruo's expression turned ugly: "Cheng Xiao, do you really want to be with him?"
Cheng Xiao asked back, "Isn't this what you hoped for?"
Han Ruoruo's eyes widened in shock from Cheng Xiao's words: "When did I want you to be together!"
"A long time ago." Seeing that Han Ruoruo didn't seem to understand what he meant, Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Han Ruoruo squarely again and said, "When you sent us to the Immortal Kingdom, I thought I was going to die. It was Xiao Rang who saved me. "
"Just because he saved you?" Han Ruoruo's voice grew uncontrollably, hatred flashed in his eyes, "He is a dead man! A monster that has been dead for 2000 years!"
"He's not a monster!" Cheng Xiao interrupted her, "I like him not because he saved me. But because he saved me, I like him even more, even love him. Xiao Rang is not a monster either, he is me My lover, I want a lifelong partner. Ruoruo, we used to be friends. I’m sorry that I couldn’t protect you in Lishan. Although you plotted against me, I don’t blame you. But you are so aggressive, I don't think it's suitable for us to be friends anymore. When this matter is over, we'll go our separate ways!" Cheng Xiao bypassed Han Ruoruo, walked to the door of the tent, and added softly, "Ah let him I don't even want to see you now."
After Cheng Xiao finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the tent, but a shoe suddenly hit him from behind——
With a "bang", Cheng Xiao crouched down covering the back of his head.
Xiao Rang came out of the tent, and when he saw Cheng Xiao being hit, he quickly squatted down/body to help him check the injury on the back of his head.When he touched a protrusion on the back of Cheng Xiao's head, Xiao Rang stood up abruptly, grabbed Han Ruoruo's neck almost instantly, and lifted her up from the ground!
Cheng Xiao exclaimed, "Xiao Rang! Let go!"
At this time Ouyang Fulin also got out from the tent next to him, without saying a word, he punched Xiao Rang in the chest, made him take a step back, and let go of Han Ruoruo's right hand.
Ouyang Fulin supported Han Ruoruo, and said to Xiao Rang, "You stole someone else's husband, how dare you hit him?"
Cheng Xiao's breathing was stagnant, and a surge of anger could no longer be controlled in his heart.
He stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Rang's arm, pulled him to his side and said, "Professor Ouyang is really good at joking, Xiao Rang and I are single, everyone knows that." Cheng Xiao didn't deliberately let go Low voice, none of the people in this tent are fuel-efficient lamps.When he was talking to Han Ruoruo, these people must have woken up.It is also a good thing to take this opportunity to speak clearly.To save it, someone will talk nonsense about him and Xiao Rang in the future.
"I don't care what you think, Xiao Rang, I'm going to decide. I know that you are not simple people, and I never thought of having more intersections with you. After this incident, Xiao Rang and I I will leave City A, and when the time comes, everyone will return to the bridge and return to the road. You don’t have to think about what kind of gossip or risks Xiao Rang and I will bear when we are together. This is all voluntary by me and has nothing to do with you! Please don’t use it as an excuse. I have good excuses to hit me or Xiao Rang, we will not bear it in such a good temper forever!" Ever since Cheng Xiao and Xiao Rang confirmed their relationship, he is not ignorant of the weird atmosphere among the people, it's just for the last time they get along I have been enduring it for a while.But Ouyang Fulin's hostility towards Xiao Rang, Han Ruoruo's appearance and his resistance to the relationship between the two made it impossible for Cheng Xiao to continue to ignore them.
"I hope that Professor Ouyang will not say such inexplicable words in the future. In this life, I am Cheng Xiao, and the person I like is Xiao Rang. I don't recognize anyone else except him." Maybe Han Ruoruo is really Zheng Ji's reincarnation, but so what?In his life, he no longer needs anyone other than Xiao Rang.
Obviously he has admitted his lover relationship with Xiao Rang, but this journey has always made him questioned.Xiao Rang's uneasiness these days is actually more caused by his retreat and indifference.
He was a jerk enough to make his lover feel uneasy for so long because of some irrelevant people.Cheng Xiao lowered his head and laughed at himself, then raised his head to look at Han Ruoruo and Ouyang Fulin, and said firmly: "We are together, it is just our business. I will take him home and let my parents accept him. As for you , We don’t care if we agree or not.”
At some point, the green clothes sat at the door of the tent, looking out at the people.After Cheng Xiao finished speaking like an oath, she suddenly curled her lips and said, "It's so late, you guys are still not sleeping. Why are you staring at someone dating?"
Ouyang Cheng sat by the fire, didn't speak, didn't look at the people, just poked the coals from time to time.
Han Ruoruo limped back to pick up his shoes and put them on, with a tense expression on his face.Cheng Xiao couldn't see what she was thinking, so he didn't say anything to her again.After watching her put on her shoes, she went back to the tent.
Ouyang Fulin put his hands in his pockets, fixed his eyes on Cheng Xiao's face for a long time, and finally said: "Have a good rest." Then he also returned to the tent.
For a while, Cheng Xiao felt embarrassed.Fortunately, Xiao Rang pulled him back to the tent, and the matter was exposed like this.
A few days passed without any saltiness, and on the fifth day, everyone had already scouted the location and began to prepare for the total solar eclipse at night.
On a November day, there was a cool breeze blowing at night.This place is in the north again, so Cheng Xiao wore an extra thin sweater under his clothes.He found another windbreaker for Xiao Rang to put on.After dark, everyone packed up their things, and the total solar eclipse began.
Cheng Xiao also saw a total solar eclipse when he was a child. At that time, there was no electricity in the countryside, and when the kerosene lamp at home was blown, the world was completely dark, which made him feel afraid that he was the only one in the world.Now that he saw the total solar eclipse again, he subconsciously grasped the hands of the people around him and interlocked his fingers. For a moment, there was no anxiety or fear, only a touch of joy and happiness.
If it wasn't for Daba's death still lingering in his heart, he wished he could take him home now and tell the whole world that Xiao Rang was his lover, and they had been in love for two lifetimes.
Just when Cheng Xiao's thoughts were drifting away, there was a sudden movement in the open space in front of him.
The noisy voice became louder and louder, and several people all stood up.Cheng Xiao turned on the flashlight, and the first thing he saw was the sinking soil and sand.
In order not to affect the effect of the total solar eclipse, no one lit a fire or turned on the lights. Now when they saw the sand sinking not far in front of them, everyone began to panic.
"Cheng Xiao! Step!" Someone shouted in a panic, Cheng Xiao subconsciously looked down, and fell down in the next second.
Then others were not spared and fell down.For a while, the sand and soil fell, burying everyone deeper and deeper below.When Xiao Rang found Cheng Xiao's position and hugged him into his arms, Cheng Xiao's mouth and nose were already full of sand.
After about an hour, the speed of everyone's sinking gradually slowed down.Xiao Rang took off his windbreaker and wrapped Cheng Xiao's head and shoulders, helped him to sit up, looked around and chose a direction to start digging.
As soon as Ouyang Fulin saw Xiao Rang's actions, he knew what he meant.Others also started to do it.
Half an hour later, a two-foot-square hole was dug out.Xiao Rang turned around and pulled Cheng Xiao, telling him to wait for him at the entrance of the cave. When he went down, he saw that there was no danger around him, so he asked Cheng Xiao to come down.
After Cheng Xiao went down, he made room for others to come in.He observes the surrounding environment.
This place looks like a large hall. Although there are only ruins left today, judging from the carved beams and painted buildings, layout and furnishings, it must have been a magnificent royal palace in the Warring States period.
After everyone came in, Han Ruoruo walked in one direction first.Cheng Xiao called her from behind, but she ignored her.
Everyone had no choice but to quickly follow Han Ruoruo's footsteps.
After walking for about ten minutes, everyone passed through several verandahs and stopped by a pond that had dried up.Han Ruoruo suddenly turned to look at Xiao Rang and said, "Go down!"
Cheng Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then protected Xiao Rang behind him and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Your injury..."
Ouyang Fulin immediately said: "It's not a problem." His eyes were glued to Cheng Xiao's face, as if he wanted to engrave this face in his mind.
Cheng Xiao avoided Ouyang Fulin's sight, got up and ran towards the green clothes quickly.At this time, Lvyi was in a bad mood, her body was covered with blood, and her eyes had lost the previous vivid color.
Cheng Xiao gently knelt aside, looked at the lifeless face of the bus, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.After knowing about Lvyi's feelings, Cheng Xiao was most worried that Lvyi would be overwhelmed, so he suppressed his sobs and said softly, "Lvyi, do you still remember Nuwa's heart?"
"Nuwa's heart?" Lvyi's body shook, and she looked at Cheng Xiao in disbelief, "... really?"
Cheng Xiao nodded: "Yes, I know where it is." As long as you find Nuwa's heart, the bus will still be saved!
After hearing Cheng Xiao's words, Lv Yi had a look of crying or not, and finally cried loudly and hugged the body of the bus tightly.Cheng Xiao didn't expect Lv Yi to react like this, and he was at a loss for a while.
Xiao Rang came over and helped Cheng Xiao up, and said, "Let her stay alone for a while."

This hexagonal star wheel is the key to open the bronze panchi dragon pattern box, and both are indispensable.He now has three in his hand, one was obtained from Xiao Rang's coffin, one was given by the female ghost in the birch forest, and the other was obtained in the underground water city of the Immortal Kingdom.There are seven star wheels in total, and four are still missing.If Han Ruoruo really has one, then Cheng Xiao can't let her go back no matter what.

As soon as Lvyi heard that the opportunity was only this time, he hurriedly asked: "What does it mean to miss this time? Isn't it possible to enter the ancient Xiao Kingdom with a key?"
Han Ruoruo glanced at Lvyi, then walked outside.Lu Yi grabbed Cheng Xiao's hand and said, "What does she mean?"
Cheng Xiao moved his lips, and after Xiao Rang pushed away the green clothes, he said with a look of embarrassment: "The conditions for entering the ancient Xiao kingdom, in addition to the key, you must also have the blood of the ancient Xiao royal family, and you must be on the night of the solar eclipse." Enter."
Of these three conditions, royal blood is the simplest, and Xiao Rang has always been by Cheng Xiao's side.As for the keys, the few they had were enough for them to open the two most important gates in the ruins.Only the night of the solar eclipse, according to Ouyang Fulin's observation, a large-scale total solar eclipse will occur across the country in a week.And the ruins of the ancient Xiao Kingdom happened to be within the scope of the total solar eclipse.This kind of large-scale total solar eclipse, if you miss this time, you will have to wait for at least ten more years!
For Han Ruoruo knowing these three conditions, Cheng Xiao was both surprised and perturbed.This even made him have to doubt Han Ruoruo's identity.After all, as long as he and Xiao Rang knew the conditions for entering the ancient Xiao Kingdom, even Ouyang Fulin was told by Cheng Xiaogang not long ago.
Everyone left the ancient tomb with their own concerns.By the time we walked out of the mountain, it was already the morning of the second day.Everyone was a little tired, so they temporarily found a small hotel in a nearby town to stay.
Perhaps it was Han Ruoruo's identity that provoked Xiao Rang, this time Xiao Rang was very strong and asked for a room with Cheng Xiao.When Cheng Xiao came out of the shower, Xiao Rang threw him on the bed.
Cheng Xiao instantly knew what Xiao Rang wanted to do.
"You, wait a minute." Cheng Xiao grabbed Xiao Rang's arm and said hastily, "I have to take the car tomorrow, what if I can't walk?"
Xiao Rang kissed Cheng Xiao's eyelids, pecked his cheek once, and asked, "Is it her?"
Cheng Xiao tightened his ten fingers on Xiao Rang's arm slightly, and said after a while, "It should be... right." Besides Zheng Ji, who would know the secrets of the ancient Xiao Kingdom?From the moment he recalled the memory of his previous life, Cheng Xiao deliberately didn't think about Han Ruoruo's identity.But things had developed to this point, and he could no longer escape.
After all, Han Ruoruo and Zheng Ji are somewhat similar.
Looking at Xiao Rang's tense face, Cheng Xiao said, "Don't worry. She's not coming for me." Even if she was coming for him, he wouldn't be shaken, so he changed the topic and said, "Do you think about it?" Think, what is there in the ruins that Zheng Ji can't put down and must get back?" It is said that it is for the medicine of immortality, but in fact, everyone knows that medicine of immortality is something that only the undead people can refine.Han Ruoruo's reason is a bit far-fetched.
Xiao Rang lay down next to Cheng Xiao, hugged him and said, "I don't know."
Xiao Rang's tone was a bit dull, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but raised his head and kissed the corner of his mouth and said, "After this matter is over, I'll take you home. Anyway, I don't have a car, a house, or even a job in City A. Why don't we go back to my hometown and open a small shop together."
A gleam of joy flashed in Xiao Rang's eyes, but he quickly disappeared.He lowered his head and hugged Cheng Xiao tightly, and after a long while, he whispered: "Okay." After a pause, he added, "Limited to one month. We don't care whether we get the medicine or not after one month." thing."
Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment, and before Xiao Rang frowned, he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, if we can't get the medicine this time, we'll go back." It's not that Cheng Xiao didn't want to try a second time, but that the opportunity of the solar eclipse is just too much. This time, if he really failed, he really didn't want to come up with a second way to save the bus in a short time.It's better to agree to Xiao Rang now, so that he can feel at ease.
On the second day, everyone packed up their things and set off for Xiao County, Anhui.
In fact, the ruins of the ancient Xiao Kingdom are not in Xiao County, but near a wasteland half a day away from Xiao County.Cheng Xiao took the map, Ouyang Fulin and Ouyang Cheng took turns driving.The crowd headed there with equipment and needed supplies.
In the evening, everyone camped near the wasteland.Here is a desolate place, except for the loess and silt, there is only the Yellow River a few hundred meters away.It was unbelievably desolate.
Green clothes took a small bag of charcoal from the car, took the pots and pans, and started cooking.They will probably have to wait here for five and a half days.According to Ouyang Fulin's observations, the total solar eclipse will start around 11:13 on November 17 and last until around midnight. During this period, the entrance to the ancient Xiao Kingdom site may appear.They have to be ready before that.
I don't know if it's Cheng Xiao's illusion, but he thinks the total solar eclipse this time is very coincidental.He even occasionally naively wondered if Empress Baizhen was helping them in the upper realm?
Of course, he just thought about these thoughts casually. If he said it, even "theists" like them would think that there was something wrong with his mind.
After eating, Ouyang Cheng kept watch, and the others went back to their tents to rest.In the middle of the night, Cheng Xiao felt a little anxious, so he quietly got up and went out to drain the water.When he came back, he saw Han Ruoruo standing in front of his tent, staring at him motionless, with the light of the fire and Ouyang Cheng's cold gaze.
Cheng Xiao knew that Xiao Rang's sleep was very shallow, and he probably knew that Han Ruoruo was outside, so he didn't plan to get entangled with Han Ruoruo, so he whispered, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Han Ruoruo took two steps forward, stopped Cheng Xiao and said, "Do you think I can sleep?"
Cheng Xiao said: "Probably you are not sleepy enough."
Han Ruoruo's expression turned ugly: "Cheng Xiao, do you really want to be with him?"
Cheng Xiao asked back, "Isn't this what you hoped for?"
Han Ruoruo's eyes widened in shock from Cheng Xiao's words: "When did I want you to be together!"
"A long time ago." Seeing that Han Ruoruo didn't seem to understand what he meant, Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Han Ruoruo squarely again and said, "When you sent us to the Immortal Kingdom, I thought I was going to die. It was Xiao Rang who saved me. "
"Just because he saved you?" Han Ruoruo's voice grew uncontrollably, hatred flashed in his eyes, "He is a dead man! A monster that has been dead for 2000 years!"
"He's not a monster!" Cheng Xiao interrupted her, "I like him not because he saved me. But because he saved me, I like him even more, even love him. Xiao Rang is not a monster either, he is me My lover, I want a lifelong partner. Ruoruo, we used to be friends. I’m sorry that I couldn’t protect you in Lishan. Although you plotted against me, I don’t blame you. But you are so aggressive, I don't think it's suitable for us to be friends anymore. When this matter is over, we'll go our separate ways!" Cheng Xiao bypassed Han Ruoruo, walked to the door of the tent, and added softly, "Ah let him I don't even want to see you now."
After Cheng Xiao finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the tent, but a shoe suddenly hit him from behind——
With a "bang", Cheng Xiao crouched down covering the back of his head.
Xiao Rang came out of the tent, and when he saw Cheng Xiao being hit, he quickly squatted down/body to help him check the injury on the back of his head.When he touched a protrusion on the back of Cheng Xiao's head, Xiao Rang stood up abruptly, grabbed Han Ruoruo's neck almost instantly, and lifted her up from the ground!
Cheng Xiao exclaimed, "Xiao Rang! Let go!"
At this time Ouyang Fulin also got out from the tent next to him, without saying a word, he punched Xiao Rang in the chest, made him take a step back, and let go of Han Ruoruo's right hand.
Ouyang Fulin supported Han Ruoruo, and said to Xiao Rang, "You stole someone else's husband, how dare you hit him?"
Cheng Xiao's breathing was stagnant, and a surge of anger could no longer be controlled in his heart.
He stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Rang's arm, pulled him to his side and said, "Professor Ouyang is really good at joking, Xiao Rang and I are single, everyone knows that." Cheng Xiao didn't deliberately let go Low voice, none of the people in this tent are fuel-efficient lamps.When he was talking to Han Ruoruo, these people must have woken up.It is also a good thing to take this opportunity to speak clearly.To save it, someone will talk nonsense about him and Xiao Rang in the future.
"I don't care what you think, Xiao Rang, I'm going to decide. I know that you are not simple people, and I never thought of having more intersections with you. After this incident, Xiao Rang and I I will leave City A, and when the time comes, everyone will return to the bridge and return to the road. You don’t have to think about what kind of gossip or risks Xiao Rang and I will bear when we are together. This is all voluntary by me and has nothing to do with you! Please don’t use it as an excuse. I have good excuses to hit me or Xiao Rang, we will not bear it in such a good temper forever!" Ever since Cheng Xiao and Xiao Rang confirmed their relationship, he is not ignorant of the weird atmosphere among the people, it's just for the last time they get along I have been enduring it for a while.But Ouyang Fulin's hostility towards Xiao Rang, Han Ruoruo's appearance and his resistance to the relationship between the two made it impossible for Cheng Xiao to continue to ignore them.
"I hope that Professor Ouyang will not say such inexplicable words in the future. In this life, I am Cheng Xiao, and the person I like is Xiao Rang. I don't recognize anyone else except him." Maybe Han Ruoruo is really Zheng Ji's reincarnation, but so what?In his life, he no longer needs anyone other than Xiao Rang.
Obviously he has admitted his lover relationship with Xiao Rang, but this journey has always made him questioned.Xiao Rang's uneasiness these days is actually more caused by his retreat and indifference.
He was a jerk enough to make his lover feel uneasy for so long because of some irrelevant people.Cheng Xiao lowered his head and laughed at himself, then raised his head to look at Han Ruoruo and Ouyang Fulin, and said firmly: "We are together, it is just our business. I will take him home and let my parents accept him. As for you , We don’t care if we agree or not.”
At some point, the green clothes sat at the door of the tent, looking out at the people.After Cheng Xiao finished speaking like an oath, she suddenly curled her lips and said, "It's so late, you guys are still not sleeping. Why are you staring at someone dating?"
Ouyang Cheng sat by the fire, didn't speak, didn't look at the people, just poked the coals from time to time.
Han Ruoruo limped back to pick up his shoes and put them on, with a tense expression on his face.Cheng Xiao couldn't see what she was thinking, so he didn't say anything to her again.After watching her put on her shoes, she went back to the tent.
Ouyang Fulin put his hands in his pockets, fixed his eyes on Cheng Xiao's face for a long time, and finally said: "Have a good rest." Then he also returned to the tent.
For a while, Cheng Xiao felt embarrassed.Fortunately, Xiao Rang pulled him back to the tent, and the matter was exposed like this.
A few days passed without any saltiness, and on the fifth day, everyone had already scouted the location and began to prepare for the total solar eclipse at night.
On a November day, there was a cool breeze blowing at night.This place is in the north again, so Cheng Xiao wore an extra thin sweater under his clothes.He found another windbreaker for Xiao Rang to put on.After dark, everyone packed up their things, and the total solar eclipse began.
Cheng Xiao also saw a total solar eclipse when he was a child. At that time, there was no electricity in the countryside, and when the kerosene lamp at home was blown, the world was completely dark, which made him feel afraid that he was the only one in the world.Now that he saw the total solar eclipse again, he subconsciously grasped the hands of the people around him and interlocked his fingers. For a moment, there was no anxiety or fear, only a touch of joy and happiness.
If it wasn't for Daba's death still lingering in his heart, he wished he could take him home now and tell the whole world that Xiao Rang was his lover, and they had been in love for two lifetimes.
Just when Cheng Xiao's thoughts were drifting away, there was a sudden movement in the open space in front of him.
The noisy voice became louder and louder, and several people all stood up.Cheng Xiao turned on the flashlight, and the first thing he saw was the sinking soil and sand.
In order not to affect the effect of the total solar eclipse, no one lit a fire or turned on the lights. Now when they saw the sand sinking not far in front of them, everyone began to panic.
"Cheng Xiao! Step!" Someone shouted in a panic, Cheng Xiao subconsciously looked down, and fell down in the next second.
Then others were not spared and fell down.For a while, the sand and soil fell, burying everyone deeper and deeper below.When Xiao Rang found Cheng Xiao's position and hugged him into his arms, Cheng Xiao's mouth and nose were already full of sand.
After about an hour, the speed of everyone's sinking gradually slowed down.Xiao Rang took off his windbreaker and wrapped Cheng Xiao's head and shoulders, helped him to sit up, looked around and chose a direction to start digging.
As soon as Ouyang Fulin saw Xiao Rang's actions, he knew what he meant.Others also started to do it.
Half an hour later, a two-foot-square hole was dug out.Xiao Rang turned around and pulled Cheng Xiao, telling him to wait for him at the entrance of the cave. When he went down, he saw that there was no danger around him, so he asked Cheng Xiao to come down.
After Cheng Xiao went down, he made room for others to come in.He observes the surrounding environment.
This place looks like a large hall. Although there are only ruins left today, judging from the carved beams and painted buildings, layout and furnishings, it must have been a magnificent royal palace in the Warring States period.
After everyone came in, Han Ruoruo walked in one direction first.Cheng Xiao called her from behind, but she ignored her.
Everyone had no choice but to quickly follow Han Ruoruo's footsteps.
After walking for about ten minutes, everyone passed through several verandahs and stopped by a pond that had dried up.Han Ruoruo suddenly turned to look at Xiao Rang and said, "Go down!"
Cheng Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then protected Xiao Rang behind him and said, "What do you want to do?"
