Touch a corpse to fall in love

Han Ruoruo sneered: "What are you afraid of? I won't take his life!"

The eyes of others are also a little weird.After all, Cheng Xiao was the weakest among the crowd, and it was ridiculous for him to take such a protective stance now.

Xiao Rang pressed Cheng Xiao's shoulder, shook his head at him, looked at Han Ruoruo and said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Han Ruoruo's eyes flickered slightly: "Don't forget, you are the last blood of the Xiao royal family."

Xiao Rang said: "I haven't forgotten." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Cheng Xiao with a reassuring look, and began to walk towards the dry pond.The moment they stepped into the pond, everyone heard the sound of cracks on the ground.

The originally dry pond, because of Xiao Rang's stepping in, now has traces of cracks.On the gray-white soil, a complex and delicate totem was exposed.It was a big bird like a phoenix, its tail feathers covered the entire pond, its huge eyes stared at everyone present like torches—it was obviously just a pattern condensed from the sand on the ground, but it made people feel a sense of worship for no reason Heart.

Xiao Rang took out a dagger from his waist and drew it on his palm.The bright red blood fell on the sand, and the totem's eyes gradually lit up.

With the change of the totem, Xiao Rang's face became paler and paler.Cheng Xiao looked at Xiao Rang's back nervously, and clasped his fingers tightly.He wanted him to stop right now, but this ceremony cannot be interrupted until the divine bird returns.

The coercion around them became heavier and heavier, and Cheng Xiao and the others were gradually forced back into the hall.Within ten feet of the pond, except for Xiao Rang and Han Ruoruo, no one else can approach.

After another six or seven minutes, Xiao Rang finally couldn't hold on and knelt down on the ground.Cheng Xiao was so anxious that his forehead was sweating in the hall, but he couldn't get closer to the other party.At this moment, Han Ruoruo quietly moved behind Xiao Rang, and said something to Xiao Rang, which made Xiao Rang look up at her with a fierce look.

At this moment, a big bird that was soaked in fire flew up from the ground, and its loud and clear cry went straight into the sky, shaking everyone's eardrums to buzz.The surrounding sand was shaken down one after another, and many places were buried again by the sand above.

Fortunately, everyone was in the main hall at this time, the pillars here did not collapse, and there was no danger of being buried alive for a while.But if this divine bird is allowed to keep singing, it is estimated that the palace will not last long.

Just when everyone started to think of a way to stop the fire phoenix from continuing to sing, the fire phoenix stopped by itself.It looked at Xiao Rang and Han Ruoruo in the pond, a little fire flashed in the phoenix eyes, and then Han Ruoruo was thrown aside by the big bird, and the coercion on everyone suddenly dropped.

As soon as the restraints were removed, Cheng Xiao immediately broke away from Ouyang Fulin and Lvyi's hands, and ran towards Xiao Rang.He first checked the wound on Xiao Rang's hand. Seeing that the flesh in the palm was turned out, almost hurting the bones, he couldn't help but angrily said: "Are you crazy or stupid?!" Cheng Xiao said while checking Xiao Rang. Are there any other wounds.It wasn't until he saw that he had no other fatal wounds other than excessive blood loss, so he felt relieved and helped him walk back to the hall.

Cheng Xiao helped Xiao Rang under a pillar, found the wound medicine and bandages from the backpack and bandaged Xiao Rang, and then he was relieved to see other people's conditions.

After a while, Lvyi suddenly asked Ouyang Cheng with a look of surprise, "Where's that woman?"

At this time, the fire phoenix had turned into a palm-sized bird.It was standing on a broken stone pillar in the main hall at this time, tilting its head and looking at everyone.

Cheng Xiao saw that it didn't intend to attack anyone, so he didn't pay much attention.

Xiao Rang said: "It should be to the dark palace."

Under the palace of the ancient Xiao Kingdom, there is a secret underground palace.It was the place where the ancient Xiao royal family used to take refuge.And Nuwa's heart is hidden in the underground palace, which was hidden by Fusu himself.

So when they heard that Han Ruoruo might have gone to the underground palace, everyone was startled, and hurried to the entrance of the underground palace.

The ruins are under the sand, without a ray of light.At this time, everyone was relying on the flashlights in their hands for illumination, so their pace was not fast.In addition, many places in this palace collapsed badly. Several times, everyone went through the cracks in the rocks, so the speed was even slower.

After more than half an hour, everyone finally arrived in the inner hall of the palace.Cheng Xiao saw that the place was well preserved, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. If the place changed too much, he was really afraid that he would not be able to find out where the secret passage was.

Although he still can't remember the exact location...but the approximate location should be correct.

So everyone started to grope around with flashlights, and asked Cheng Xiao what the characteristics of the so-called entrance to the underground palace were.

After rummaging for a few minutes, Lvyi suddenly whispered from the side: "I don't know what kind of tricks that woman surnamed Han is playing...does she know this place?"

Cheng Xiao paused, and was about to say something when Ouyang Cheng made a movement.Before Ouyang Cheng called everyone to watch, a slender figure had turned around behind Ouyang Cheng, a cold light flashed by, Ouyang Cheng let out a muffled snort, staggered a few steps to the side, and leaned against the wall .

The closest to Ouyang Cheng is Xiao Rang, followed by Ouyang Fulin.Xiao Rang was the first to rush towards Han Ruoruo, while Ouyang Fulin went to support Ouyang Cheng.Cheng Xiao was worried that Xiao Rang would be injured, so he snatched the flashlight from Lv Yi's hand and ran in that direction.

In just a few short breaths, the secret passage on the wall has been half opened.Han Ruoruo twisted her body like a thin snake, and in the next second, she twisted her body and got into the secret passage.Xiao Rang reached out to grab her, then frowned, withdrew his hand abruptly and took two steps back.

Cheng Xiao took a flashlight to look at Xiao Rang, and saw two blood holes on his wrist, some dark and purple-black in color, which looked quite scary.Cheng Xiao handed the flashlight to Lvyi who followed, grabbed Xiao Rang's wrist and gave it to his mouth.Xiao Rang quickly covered his mouth with his hand and said, "Don't inhale, it's poisonous."

Cheng Xiao said anxiously: "Then what should I do? Make you wait to die?"

Luyi hurriedly said: "Let me come, this snake is my distant relative, it won't kill me!"

When Cheng Xiao heard it, she thought that the green clothes were from the undead tribe, and all the snakes in the world were probably her distant relatives.So he quickly let go of Xiao Rang's wrist, and let Lv Yi step forward to help him take drugs without worry.

After the venom was sucked off, Xiao Rang's complexion still didn't improve.Although Lu Yi was anxious to go to the secret path to find Nuwa's heart, seeing Cheng Xiao's worried look and Ouyang Cheng's blood all over him, she couldn't force them to go down now.

Ouyang Cheng was wounded on the left shoulder by Han Ruoruo. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he probably would have stabbed him in the heart.Ouyang Fulin has been sitting beside him to help him take care of the wound, with no expression on his face.

Cheng Xiao took out the medicines from the bag, and gave Ouyang Fulin some medicines to stop bleeding and prevent infection. Seeing that he had treated Ouyang Cheng well, he felt relieved and began to concentrate on treating Xiao Rang's wound.He was afraid that the residual poison in Xiao Rang's body would not be eliminated, so he injected some serum into him, fed him a bottle of water, and then held his hand and sat side by side with him to rest.

In fact, Cheng Xiao guessed that Han Ruoruo had other purposes for entering the ruins of the ancient Xiao Kingdom, but he didn't feel that they were hindering her, so he didn't take too much precaution against her along the way.Now that there is such a commotion, Cheng Xiao is not only disappointed, but also has a sense of frustration.

Everyone rested for another half an hour, Xiao Rang was the first to get up and said, "Let's go."

Cheng Xiao also knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he didn't stop Xiao Rang, but told Ouyang Fulin to carry Ouyang Cheng on his back, and walk among them, so as not to be attacked by Han Ruoruo.

After everyone went down the secret passage, the surrounding space was no longer so dry, but instead felt damp.The secret passage has a length of more than 20 feet, and it goes straight down until it enters a fork. Cheng Xiao prevents everyone from going further, takes out a six-pointed star wheel from his backpack and says, "Lvyi, go ahead, be careful of Han Ruoruo's sneak attack." He turned his head to look at Ouyang Fulin, "Take care of Ouyang Cheng, don't fall later."

Ouyang Fulin nodded and said, "Don't worry."

Seeing that everyone was ready to fight, Cheng Xiao didn't say any more, and went directly to the wall at the corner to search for the marks left in the past.

In fact, the reason why Cheng Xiao was not in a hurry was because he knew that Han Ruoruo could not find the real Nuwa's heart.In order to keep Nuwa's heart from being found by Qin Shihuang and Meng Tian, ​​he tried his best.So how can you put Nuwa's heart in a place where most people can guess?

The box in the main hall of the Dark Palace is just an empty box.The real Nuwa's heart is not there.

Cheng Xiao groped for a while, and found a depression in the lower right corner of the wall.After putting the six-pointed star wheel in, he forcefully turned the star wheel three times to the left, and then turned it to the right again. Everyone felt a movement of their feet, and a secret passage slowly appeared.

Since Xiao Rang was bitten by a poisonous snake once, Lvyi volunteered to walk in front. If there are any snakes in here, she can also frighten her.Cheng Xiao walked in second place, followed by Xiao Rang.The last ones are Ouyang Fulin and the others.

In order to avoid Han Ruoruo's stalking and surprise attack, Cheng Xiao deliberately closed the door of the secret passage again after everyone came in.Now that Han Ruoruo didn't have a specific hexagonal star wheel, he had no choice but to come in even if he wanted to.

Each hexagonal star wheel represents a different gate key, and the remaining two in Cheng Xiao's hand are the key to the sarcophagus and the key to the bronze panchi dragon pattern box, which are just enough to get Nuwa's heart.And the one in Han Ruoruo's hand is the key to open the other sarcophagus.

In that sarcophagus is the prescription of the elixir of death.

Probably because she was cheated too many times, Cheng Xiao didn't tell all the secrets at the beginning.He told Lvyi that he could get Nuwa's heart because he knew that the key in his hand was enough for him to get back Nuwa's heart.Others may just have the attitude of giving it a try, but he came here to get the medicine with a determined attitude.

Han Ruoruo's appearance was an accident, Cheng Xiao didn't know what purpose she had.So they did not tell the secret about the key.In fact, the key in Han Ruoruo's hand is not very attractive to him.

It's just a pity that Han Ruoruo let him down.

With a lot of thoughts, Cheng Xiao led the people through the dark passages, and finally entered a stone room.Most of the things here are in a state of obscurity. There are many images carved on the gray stone, some scenes of sacrifice, some scenes of marriage, and even some images of women giving birth.

Cheng Xiao looked around, and finally chose an unremarkable stone and pressed it.Afterwards, a sunken outline slowly emerged there, exactly like a hexagonal star wheel.

Cheng Xiao took out the hexagonal star wheel he got from the female ghost, carefully put it into the concave picture, and then pressed it hard, and there was a corresponding clicking sound from the wall.

Lvyi looked at Cheng Xiao nervously, until Cheng Xiao took off the stones from the wall without accident, and took out a black bronze box from inside.She immediately ran over nervously and said, "Is it this? Is it it?"

Cheng Xiao nodded, put the bronze box on the only stone table in the stone room and said, "I still have a key in my hand, which is used to open this box."

The green clothes said a little nervously: "Open?"

Cheng Xiao suddenly laughed out loud: "Do you want to keep it and take it home if you don't open it? This is a life-saving thing, so why not be polite."

Maybe it's finally come to this step, Lv Yi's mind also relaxed, and when he heard what Cheng Xiao said, he also smiled.

Ouyang Fulin supported Ouyang Cheng to sit on the side to rest. Seeing that Cheng Xiao took out the hexagonal star wheel and was about to open the slot, he immediately asked, "Are you sure this is the original box? Wait." Unable to tell what it felt like, Ouyang Fulin felt that there seemed to be a terrible power in this box, if it was opened now, it might hurt the people present.

After hearing this, Cheng Xiao subconsciously tilted his head to look at Xiao Rang.And Xiao Rang actually agreed with Ouyang Fulin's words.

Seeing that Cheng Xiao was hesitant, Xiao Rang said, "Since you have already got the box, there is no rush if you can't open it. Let's wait."

Cheng Xiao said, "Does that mean you just sit here and wait?"

Xiao Rang thought for a while, and said, "Yes, just sit here and wait."

Although Cheng Xiao thought it was strange, Xiao Rang had already said that, so he couldn't say anything more, so he stopped what he was doing, comforted Lv Yi, and sat down with Xiao Rang on the other side of the wall of the stone room.

Time passed little by little.Except for the place where the flashlight shines, the rest of the place is pitch black.Cheng Xiao leaned on Xiao Rang's body, his breathing gradually calmed down, and his eyelids began to fight up and down.After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Xiao was awakened by a shaking.

The moment he woke up, Cheng Xiao's vision was completely filled with the intense flame.It took him a while to get used to it before he realized that it was the light from the bronze box on the stone table.And in the light here, a phoenix bird covered in fire is flapping its wings, constantly beating the light shining in the box.

"A Rang! Get up!" Seeing this scene, Cheng Xiao hurriedly pushed Xiao Rang next to him, but his hand was cold, where is there any shadow of Xiao Rang? !

Cheng Xiao was completely dumbfounded.Xiao Rang bled so much, and was bitten by a snake once, and now he suddenly disappeared, what if something happened? !

For a while, he couldn't care less about watching the battle between the bronze box and the phoenix bird, and quickly stood up and groped the wall to find Xiao Rang's trace.

This stone room was not very big, and when he finished walking around, a slender arm suddenly hugged his waist from behind.Cheng Xiao was startled, subconsciously bent his elbows and slammed backwards, the person behind snorted, and said angrily: "If you move again, you will break your third leg! Let's see how you will fight with Xiao Xiao in the future!" Let that kid stay and fly together!"

Cheng Xiao paused, and immediately stopped moving.

After a while, Cheng Xiao asked her: "What are you going to do? Where is Xiao Rang?"

Han Ruoruo hugged Cheng Xiao's waist and said, "Don't worry, he's fine. I just want to ask you a question, and I won't do anything to you."

Cheng Xiao thought for a while and said, "If there is anything I can do to help, just tell me."

"Tell you?" Han Ruoruo said sarcastically, "Apart from Xiao Rang, do you still care about others?"

"you……"

"Don't talk to me in such a tone! I don't need your sympathy!" Han Ruoruo suddenly thought about Cheng Xiao's words, loosened his waist, turned to his front and said, "I ask you, if there is no Xiao Rang, would you Will you like me?"

"..." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Cheng Xiao's face, "I'm sorry."

"So... Where's Zheng Ji?" Not only was Han Ruoruo not sad, but he looked at Cheng Xiao with a half-smile.

"...I'm sorry for her." Although Zheng Ji was only his wife in his previous life, Cheng Xiao, who has recovered her memory, still has a deep sense of guilt and shame towards Zheng Ji.

At this moment, Han Ruoruo suddenly burst out laughing, and said to the phoenix bird in mid-air while laughing, "Did you hear that? He doesn't like you! He doesn't like you from the beginning! What kind of person is the best person in the world to you?" , that's just because you are the older sister of the person he likes! You are a substitute! Did you see that?! He is with your brother! No matter how much you think about him, it's useless!"

Cheng Xiao widened his eyes slightly, looked at Han Ruoruo in disbelief, then looked at the fire phoenix, and stammered, "You mean..."

Han Ruoruo sneered and said, "What do you mean? Who do you think I am? Zheng Ji? Hahahaha, you are so naive!" Han Ruoruo suddenly said to Huofeng in midair, "Let's go. No one needs me here. You, what are you still doing?"

Huofeng's eyes dimmed, it restrained the flames on its body, its feathers drooped slightly, it flapped its wings and flew to Han Ruoruo's shoulder, tilted its head to look at Cheng Xiao, then looked back at Han Ruoruo, and finally stretched out its long beak Pecked Han Ruoruo's chin.

Han Ruoruo's complexion instantly softened: "Know who is the best for you?" Han Ruoruo said as he walked towards the outside of the stone room.Cheng Xiao hurriedly asked her about the others, and Han Ruoruo turned around and said, "Pinch yourself and try."

Cheng Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously twisted his thigh, and with a "hiss", he woke up instantly.

In the stone chamber, nothing has changed.Brothers Xiao Rang, Lvyi, and Ouyang Fulin surrounded him, looking at him with concern or concern.

It was only then that Cheng Xiao realized that what happened just now was just a dream.

The green clothes said: "What's wrong with you? I saw that your forehead is covered with sweat, and you can't wake up no matter how much you shout, it looks like you have been hit by a dementing spell."

Cheng Xiao shook his head: "It's okay." He looked at the bronze box on the stone table, "This box should be safe, open it."

Everything went smoothly, Cheng Xiao opened the bronze box and got the black stone-shaped Nuwa's heart and the last two ingredients of the elixir.

Several people returned the same way, and Ouyang Fulin was surprisingly silent along the way.Even if Ouyang Cheng spoke to him, he would only occasionally respond with "um".Cheng Xiao found it strange that although Ouyang Fulin talked less, he didn't talk so little?Could it be that the fire phoenix was discovered to be Zheng Ji?Cheng Xiao didn't dare to ask.Some things might be better left unsaid.As for Xiao Rang, when there is a suitable opportunity in the future, he will tell him that Zheng Ji is the fire phoenix.

In the next few days, several people rested in a hotel in Xiao County.Green Yi intends to return to the Immortal Country to save the bus, and may not come to the mainland in the future.But she was not very sure, she said that if the bus was willing to go back to City A, she would go with him.Cheng Xiao is not very worried about these things, as long as the bus is alive and well, he doesn't care much about where he lives.

Cheng Xiao originally planned to stay with Lvyi, and then go back to his hometown with Xiao Rang after making sure the bus is safe.But Lvyi rejected his request, so everyone broke up in Xiao County.

After buying the ticket and waiting for the bus, Ouyang Fulin suddenly proposed to have a private talk with Cheng Xiao.Cheng Xiao didn't know what Ouyang Fulin was thinking now, but he was indeed tired of the entanglement between the two, so he refused without thinking.

Until getting in the car, Cheng Xiao deliberately didn't look at Ouyang Fulin's disheveled face.

Or what he did was very hurtful, but some things really cannot be backed down.No matter what kind of Ouyang Fulin's feelings for him belonged to, he couldn't bear it.

The car drove towards Cheng Xiao's hometown in a remote village. Cheng Xiao fell asleep with his head tilted on Xiao Rang's shoulder, not noticing the smile on Xiao Rang's lips.

In the evening, the car rested in the service area for half an hour.Cheng Xiao's mobile phone, which had been out of signal for a long time, reconnected to the signal, and a call came in after a while.

Cheng Xiao saw that it was a landline phone in his hometown village, and immediately pressed the connect button excitedly, but within a few seconds, his expression changed and he said: "Mom, let's talk about this matter when I go back! I'll be home by noon tomorrow!"

Cheng Xiao didn't know what to say on the phone, Cheng Xiao's face became more and more ugly, and finally he agreed with a few "yes" before finally hanging up the phone.

Xiao Rang looked at him for a while and said, "Your complexion is not very good."

Cheng Xiao's face turned even worse when he said this: "It's nothing..." After thinking for a while, he hesitated and said, "I have something, let me tell you first."

Seeing that Xiao Rang just looked at him silently, Cheng Xiao quickly flattered him: "I told you not to be angry... Well, it's not a big deal. It's just that my parents are old and want me to get married early, so they arranged for me Had a... blind date."

Xiao Rang: "..." Isn't this a big deal? !
