Tomb Raiders

Undead tree?The remaining three people in the room were all stunned, only Chu Zhong's hard jade-like voice continued in the room, "I don't remember what happened before, but I remember that only the immortal tree can keep Shen Yingqing and me alive. It is for this reason that he went to the south of the Five Ridges and entered the tomb of the Nanyue king."

Shen Liaobai immediately thought of the tree he saw in the tomb, he subconsciously clenched Chu Yuyang's hand, and asked tremblingly, "That immortal tree...what does it look like?"

Chu Zhong turned his face slightly, the light cast a thick shadow on his face, he said coldly: "You should have seen it in the Nanyue king's tomb, the two plants on the altar have long since died, and they were originally only used for sacrifices Shen Yingqing and I originally wanted to take it away, but were attacked by Ao Yin and had no choice but to escape. Finally, we arrived at the main tomb. Seeing that there was no hope of taking the immortal tree away, We had to search for other clues in the tomb, but we only had time to find the scripture bricks, and Ao Yin came after him, so we had to flee in a hurry.

Wen Hao swallowed his saliva, and placed two basins of charcoal on purpose, but he still felt cold all over his body, "Patriarch, when I found you, you didn't have any wounds on your body..."

Chu Zhong was silent for a moment, then smiled lightly, with an indifferent expression, "Then it was probably because of touching the undead tree. I still remember one thing, that is, we must not let the undead tree see blood, otherwise it will not only fall into our situation, That tree will also wither in a short time, and once it withers, it will be useless."

"Then beside the Liquan, the blood on the ground belongs to you, father?" Chu Yuyang asked.

Shen Liaobai didn't know about it. In order to save him from worrying too much, several people didn't tell him about the discovery of the blood, so Shen Liaobai looked at Chu Qianyang in surprise.

Chu Yuyang shook Shen Liaobai's cold hand as if comforting, and continued: "That tree has already started to wither, if it doesn't wither, what's the use?"

Chu Zhong raised his eyebrows, hesitantly said: "Since it is called the immortal tree, it is naturally immortal."

Chu Yuyang fell silent, Shen Liaobai glanced at him, and knew that he didn't believe it, but now Chu Zhong's memory is mostly missing, even though he remembers the importance of the undead tree, he doesn't necessarily understand the cause and effect, no matter how much he asks, he can't come. If there is no more news, for now, the only way to go is to go to the ethereal Penglai Xiandao.

Chu Zhong glanced at the hands they held, and suddenly said, "What's the relationship between you two?"

Shen Liaobai was caught off guard, only then did he realize that he hadn't noticed that he was being held by Chu Yuyang all the time, and hurriedly wanted to break free, but Chu Yuyang didn't let go, just glanced at him with a calm and peaceful expression, like After thinking about the wording for a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Although father may forget about it in the near future, it's better for me to tell you first. Shen Liaobai is the one I have decided on."

The words were unclear, but Chu Yuyang's tone was slow and firm, and the facial features carved with knives and axes were so profound that people couldn't look away. Shen Liaobai stared at him blankly. At the end of the intimacy, when he was about to fall asleep, Chu Yuyang's gentle kiss on the cheek seemed to suddenly understand what all the ambiguities meant. Shen Liaobai's cheeks flushed red, and he hurriedly broke away from Chu Yuyang's hand , vaguely said: "I'll go back first." Then he pulled on Dahui's hood and walked out the door.

Chu Yuyang glanced at him in surprise, before he hurriedly pulled up his hood, he caught a glimpse of Shen Liao's earlobe so red that it seemed to bleed, he couldn't help but smile, and motioned for Wen Hao to follow him.

Ever since Chu Zhong asked that sentence, Wen Hao felt uncomfortable in every possible way, but now that he got what Da Lang wanted, he hurriedly chased him out.

When there were only father and son left in the room, Chu Zhong slowly said, "Do you understand what you just said?"

"I see."

While answering, Chu Yuyang sat down at the small table opposite Chu Zhong, and lit up the wick a little, his handsome and indifferent face was exposed under the brighter flames, and Chu Zhong could clearly see his face. At this time, there was an unshakable determination in the golden pupils.

Chu Zhong laughed lightly, "Then I have nothing to say, I don't remember anything about you, and I don't know how to discipline my son who is not good enough, so go."

Chu Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "But about the undead tree, I still have other things I want to ask my father."

"Finally, before I reach the same level as Shen Yingqing." Chu Zhong sat cross-legged on the couch, straightened his back and said.

When Chu Yuyang returned to Shen Liaobai's room, Shen Liaobai had already fallen asleep, curled up on the couch, and the thick winter quilt wrapped him into a ball.

Chu Yuyang first took off the big coat with the chill outside at the door, and then sat on the side of the couch, he slightly opened Shen Liaobai's tightly covered quilt, so as not to bore him, and let in through the window. Looking at Shen Liaobai's complexion in the light of the moon, it was probably because he was stuffed by the quilt just now. Shen Liaobai's cheeks were flushed, but his breathing was steady and his expression was peaceful. Chu Yuyang touched his rarely warm cheeks, Kissed him on the cheek, and then went to the cubicle to undress and wash. These days he has been sleeping with Shen Liaobai on the same bed, because Shen Liaobai slept much earlier than him, so he separated a room in the room place, lest Shen Liaobai's sleep would be disturbed by the noise when washing at night.

In the cubicle, Chu Yuyang occasionally made a rustling sound, which was deliberately suppressed to the extreme, but Shen Liaobai's eyelashes trembled suddenly, he took a breath, and carefully touched Fang Cai The place where the kiss had been, the tattoo on the shoulder blades seemed to be slightly hot in response to his current mood, and he took another long breath before closing his eyes again.

The next day, when Shen Liaobai woke up, Chu Yuyang was no longer on the bed, he was wearing his clothes, when he saw Wen Hao came in early with a bag in his hand.

"Where's Qianyang?" Shen Liaobai asked while putting on his outer robe.

Wen Hao put it on the table earlier, and said: "Da Lang went to visit the patriarch, but..." He paused, and then quickly continued, "The patriarch has already forgotten the memory of that month."

Shen Liaobai's movements stopped suddenly, and he turned back in horror: "What?!"

Last night, Shen Liaobai's mind was confused because of the part of the way, so he left in a hurry, but when he got up this morning, he thought of many things that he needed to ask Chu Zhong for proof, such as the matter of Hanzhang, and how to get the undead tree to get it. It made the two of them better. Originally, his plan was to go with Chu Yuyang after breakfast. Although it was too embarrassing to see Chu Zhong, these facts were too important, but he did not expect that Chu Zhong lost his memory. The speed is so fast.

Wen Hao was very sad, "When I went to deliver breakfast to the patriarch this morning, the patriarch... forgot who I am, and I just met last night. I felt something was wrong, so I went to find Da Lang, and Da Lang told me to come here first. See if Mrs. Shen is up, he went to the patriarch's room by himself."

Shen Liaobai's original relaxed and gentle expression also disappeared. He didn't dare to look at Shen Yingqing, for fear that Shen Yingqing would also deteriorate now, and he didn't have the heart to eat. The room passed.

As soon as he was about to go in, he bumped into Chu Yuyang who came out head-on. Chu Yuyang had always been expressionless, but his amber pupils seemed to be frozen. Shen Liaobai had never seen him with such an expression before, so he knew Chu Zhongyang His condition had indeed deteriorated, and it would not help if he went in again.

Chu Yuyang glanced at him, frowned and said: "Why didn't you dress up and ran out?" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to fix the loose skirt of his clothes, gathered his coat together, and put the hood on for him.

Shen Liaobai frowned and said: "Your father..." He stopped, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"I was prepared in my heart, and I didn't get the news very soon—" Chu Yuyang's remaining words were blocked by Shen Liaobai. Shen Liaobai raised his index finger and pressed it on Chu Yuyang's pale lips , whispered: "You don't have to make such a gesture in front of me." He let out a sigh of relief, "Shen Yingqing is the same, I naturally understand your feelings, the most important thing now is how to prevent them from getting worse. Find a cure."

Chu Yuyang stared at him for a long time, his amber pupils were transparent and clear, and the gentle affection in them made Shen Liaobai withdraw his fingers uncomfortably, he kneaded his sleeve unconsciously, and said softly: "It's just ...I still have a lot of things I want to ask your father."

Chu Yuyang touched his cheek, took his hand, walked to their room, and said calmly: "No need, I already asked about it last night."

Shen Liaobai turned around in surprise, "What?"

Chu Yuyang looked at him sideways, Shen Liaobai's face was still pale as always, it seemed a little transparent under the late winter sun, which made him not satisfied, he couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his cheek a little harder , He didn't stop until he saw a trace of blood, he laughed in a low voice, and said, "I asked after you fled back to the room."

Shen Liaobai's face became more and more red, he looked around in a panic, changed the subject abruptly, and said, "Then what did you ask?"

When it came to business, Chu Yuyang stopped teasing him, and after he entered the room and sat down, he said: "I asked him whether the immortal tree would change people's temperament. My father meant that he couldn't be sure, but as far as he and Considering Shen Yingqing's situation, it is unlikely, so although Hanzhang's matter is related to the undead tree, the undead tree is not the main reason for his change."

Shen Liaobai frowned, "Doesn't it mean that getting the undead tree may not restore Hanzhang to normal?"

Chu Yuyang tapped the table slowly with his fingers, and thoughtfully said: "But I know where I can find him."
