Chapter 33: Xiao Yue wakes up

At this moment, I don't know how to describe my feelings, whether to praise Liu Laoqi's infatuation or laugh at him for being stupid.

But no matter what, a man can do this kind of work for the woman he loves, and I believe that his wife can die without regrets under Jiuquan.

Seeing Liu Laoqi's appearance as if he was dozens of years old, I couldn't help but sigh and feel a little sympathetic.

If his wife hadn't been suffering from a strange illness, maybe he wouldn't have chosen to be a tomb robber, and in the end he would still be a carpenter, living this life plainly.

Liu Laoqi stopped talking, and I walked to the trunk of the corpse wheel blood tree that was salvaged and observed it carefully.

I have some instinctive curiosity about this kind of thing that I have never heard of, and what Liu Laoqi said so much before makes me want to take a good look at what is so special about this corpse wheel blood tree.

The color of the trunk is red, which is better than blood, and the white growth rings on the trunk are like silk threads made of white jade, pure without the slightest impurity.

After hesitating, I reached out and touched the trunk.

As soon as he touched the trunk of the tree, there was an unusually cold sensation in his hand.

What is a little surprising is that while this cold touch travels through my body, my mind suddenly becomes a little calmer, and the previous tiredness and depression are also swept away.

"This ...... This corpse wheel blood tree is really so amazing. "I was a little surprised, and I began to believe what Liu Laoqi said, maybe this corpse wheel blood tree really has some magical effect that science can't explain.

At this moment, another white palm fell from the sky, and also attached to the trunk of the tree, which was no more than two inches from my palm.

I looked sideways, it turned out that Li Huiyan, who had come to her senses, came here, and squatted down next to the tree trunk like me, but I don't know if she heard what Liu Laoqi said before.

"What is this, so comfortable." To my surprise, as soon as Li Huiyan's palm touched the trunk of the corpse wheel blood tree, she let out an exclamation in her mouth, and then an expression of extreme enjoyment appeared on her entire beautiful face.

But what surprised me even more was still to come, a moment after Li Huiyan touched the trunk of the tree, her originally pale face gradually became ruddy, and she soon returned to the healthy appearance of a normal person.

I was speechless with surprise at the sudden change in Li Huiyan, which completely subverted my previous perception.

After a while, Li Huiyan gradually recovered from her intoxication, and at this time she was completely back to normal, and her whole person's spirit was the same as when I first saw her.

"Hey, why do you keep staring at me." Li Huiyan saw me staring at her motionlessly, and immediately asked with wide eyes.

"It's nothing, I'm just happy to see you're okay." I replied casually.

Suddenly, I thought of Xiao Yue.

The corpse poison on Li Huiyan's body has been removed by the corpse wheel blood tree, so can the corpse poison on Xiao Yue's body also be used?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly ran over and hugged Xiao Yue. After thinking about it, he simply put her down gently, and let her sit on the trunk of the tree.

When I put Xiao Yue on the trunk of the tree, I don't know if it was because of an illusion, I felt that Xiao Yue's eyelids, who had been in a coma, seemed to tremble slightly. When I looked closer, I saw that she was still motionless and unconscious.

Maybe I was mistaken, I shook my head.

After doing this, I squatted aside, gently supported Xiao Yue with my hand, and waited for the next miracle with anticipation.

There was silence in the cave, no one spoke, and almost everyone had seen the corpse poison in Xiao Yue's body, and they all instantly understood what I wanted to do.

Time passed minute by minute, and just when I thought that this corpse wheel blood tree had no effect on the corpse poison on Xiao Yue's body, the trunk of the corpse wheel blood tree, which was originally motionless, suddenly exuded a trace of extremely cold and cold aura, which made me shudder.

When I turned my head to look again, I saw that the black qi on Xiao Yue's face and arms had disappeared at an extremely alarming speed.

"I didn't think it really worked." Seeing this, I was overjoyed and relieved at the same time.

As long as the corpse wheel blood tree can remove the corpse poison from Xiao Yue's body, it will solve the biggest trouble at the moment, and as for Xu Hao and the three of them, they can spend more time looking for it.

Anyway, there is a group of experienced tomb robbers like Liu Laoqi, as long as the three of them don't encounter any danger in the tomb, they can find it sooner or later.

After a while, all the corpse poison on Xiao Yue's body gathered at the wound on his back. I hesitated for a moment, and reached out to tear the strip of cloth that Li Huiyan had bandaged on Xiao Yue's wound before.

I saw that at the wound on Xiao Yue's back, a trace of blood as black as ink was slowly flowing out, and it exuded an extremely fishy and unpleasant smell.

I endured the discomfort and still helped Xiao Yue motionlessly.

Seeing this, Li Huiyan also stepped forward to help, picked up the rags I threw away earlier, and began to carefully help Xiao Yue clean up the black bruises flowing from the wound.

After about four or five minutes, the bruise in Xiao Yue's wound completely flowed out, and under the moisture of wisps of cold air, the wound on her back was also healing and scabbing at an extremely fast speed.

Well......

A weak and slightly hoarse voice came into my ears, and I was immediately startled, and I saw that Xiao Yue's closed eyes had slowly opened.

What made me cry and laugh a little was that Xiao Yue yawned slowly after opening her eyes, and her sleepy eyes looked as if she had just woken up.

"Huh...... Rice cakes, Sister Plum, what are you doing? Where are we? Who are they? ”

Xiao Yue gradually returned to his place, tilted his head and looked around, first saw me and Li Huiyan, and then saw Liu Laoqi and other tomb robbers, and then asked with a wary face.

"I'm saving your life." I replied a little speechlessly.

We've been terrified since we fell into the cemetery, but she's fine, like she's all right, and she doesn't know anything when she wakes up.

Immediately, I briefly introduced Liu Laoqi and others to Xiao Yue, and after speaking, I glanced at Li Huiyan again.

Seeing this, Li Huiyan immediately understood and pulled Xiao Yue to the hidden place of the cave, saying that it was inconvenient for men and women here, and she wanted to help Xiao Yue bandage the wound that had not yet healed completely, but in fact, she wanted to talk to Xiao Yue first.

Now that Xiao Yue has just come to her senses, she doesn't know that Li Huiyan and I have changed our names in front of Liu Laoqi and others, in case she shouts out our original names in a loud voice, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of Liu Laoqi and others and cause unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, Liu Laoqi suddenly squatted down and began to use the dagger to cut on the trunk of the corpse wheel blood tree. I didn't understand what he wanted to do, so I had to sit back and watch.

"Virtuous nephew, do you know what these white lines on the corpse wheel blood tree are?" Liu Laoqi squatted on the ground, his hands kept moving, and he asked me without looking back.

"This is supposed to be the tree's rings, right?" I thought about it for a moment and replied according to my own guess.

My idea is simple, but all trees should have growth rings. Although this corpse ring blood tree is somewhat unique, it will suck human blood and eat human flesh, and it still grows in this kind of place where there is no sunlight all year round, but the most fundamental thing such as the annual ring should not be much different.

Who knows, as soon as I answered, Liu Laoqi shook his head.

"No, it's not a tree ring." Liu Laoqi seemed to have expected me to answer like this, so he said without thinking about it.

"Not tree rings? What is that? This white pattern is round and round, no matter how you look at it, it is an annual ring. "I was a little puzzled.

There are still trees in this world that do not have long rings, and that is really unheard of and unseen.

"It's human life." Liu Laoqi stood up and said something that surprised me.

Is it human life?

At this time, I couldn't help but think back to the scenes in the mural, and I vaguely guessed something, but because the fact was so shocking, I didn't dare to think about it at all.

"These white lines, each circle represents the life of a tree slave. From the day the corpse wheel blood tree was cultivated, every time the flesh and blood of a tree slave was absorbed, a circle of annual rings of the same color as white bones would be formed on the trunk of the tree, which was also the only trace left by the tree slave in the world. Seeing that I didn't speak, Liu Laoqi sighed and said again.

My mouth was a little dry, and I couldn't help but look down at the tree trunk on the ground, and there were thousands of tiny lines arranged in order to circle after circle, and it was hard to imagine that this was the unjust soul of countless people who had died in vain.

was originally a living human life, but at this time, it has become an inconspicuous pattern on the corpse wheel blood tree, which is really a little sighing.

The cold-bloodedness and brutality of the feudal rulers for their own selfish desires can not help but make people chill.

Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue had already returned to everyone, and Liu Laoqi's last words were also listened to by the two of them word for word.

Most girls belong to the kind of creatures with soft ears, even if they are a type like Xiao Yue, who has a big personality and no heart, they also became tearful after hearing Liu Laoqi's words.

It can even be said that these tree slaves who died thousands of years ago are the lifesavers of the two.

If it weren't for the sacrifices of these tree slaves, there would be no corpse wheel blood tree trunk here, and the lives of Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue might not be able to be saved.

Now that the corpse poison on Xiao Yue's body has also been removed, there is no need for us to continue to stay here at the moment, we must leave here, although finding Xu Hao and the three of them is the top priority now.

"Virtuous nephew, each of you has one of these things, keep them close to your body, and you can defend yourself in case you encounter any danger in the tomb again." I don't know when, Liu Laoqi had three more two-inch small wooden strips in his hand, handed them to me and said at the same time.

I took the thing that Liu Laoqi handed over, and looked down to see that it was cut from the trunk of the corpse wheel blood tree on the ground.
