Chapter 19: Ah Zheng
Wei Qing was stunned, she thought that their purpose was domineering and arrogant, but she didn't expect that the search for the ancient artifact was actually for the sake of fresh life.
Wei Qing's heart softened, but after thinking about it, she was not a virgin, if she was asked to hand over her own right to survive to someone else, how could she possibly agree?
"So, you actually need this artifact on my body?" she asked warily.
Long Zheng hesitated and replied truthfully: "Yes." He knew that the stone had the power of rebirth, but after all, it had gone through vicissitudes of life, and had been burning its energy since the beginning of the famine, and he didn't know how much of this ability of rebirth could be exerted now. It would be better if you could get this stone and study it. What's more, what he wanted to know more was what happened to her two hundred years ago, when he was not by her side.
"What if I take this artifact from me, I will become a monster and die?" without the bracelet she will become a zombie, she is at most a thinking and talking zombie, and in the eyes of their gang of tomb robbers with such strong force, what is the difference between a zombie and a dead person? Even if she does not die, she can only live in the dark, cannot see people, and cannot be exposed to the civilized world, which makes her life worse than death.
The crystal light slowly spread out in Long Zheng's eyes, creating a circle of ripples. "Without the artifact, she would have died, and she would have left him forever"? He suddenly remembered the scene two hundred years ago, when he returned victoriously and found that she was missing, and that she might have even been killed, and that he could not find her in the Yellow Spring and in the blue fall, and finally had to bury her with his own hands.
Wei Qing didn't have the courage to look at Long Zheng's expression at this time, she lowered her head, secretly clenched her fists in her hands, and continued: "If you want to get the artifact on my body, then it's better to kill me directly." ”
"What are you talking about?!" Long Zheng said in a deep voice, but his tone was unprecedentedly anxious and flustered.
When Wei Qing heard this voice, she raised her head suddenly, and she was just about to open her mouth to speak, when something unexpected happened. Wei Qing felt an inexplicable heat in her nose, and a stream of blood flowed out. She subconsciously touched her nose, saw the slimy liquid in her hand, her brain suddenly stagnated, her eyes were pitch black, she fell backwards, and fainted.
Long Zheng hurriedly caught her in surprise, gently lay her down, hugged her in his arms, wiped the blood stains and stretched out his finger to probe her snort. The breath was hot, burning like a flame, and the breathing was steady, but the breath was so weak that it seemed to disappear at any moment.
"What did you all encounter just now?" Long Zheng looked at the scorpion coldly, his eyes glazed.
The scorpion shook his head in confusion, but soon he seemed to think of something: "Before we joined you, we passed by a burial chamber, and in that burial chamber lay many corpses of Brahma Fire, each of them died miserably, with no wounds on their bodies but bleeding from all their orifices, and they did not blink to death. I don't know if Wei Qing's current state has something to do with the tomb. ”
Long Zheng gently stroked Wei Qing's pale face, his eyes were closed, as if he was afraid of waking her up, and he said softly: "She should have been poisoned by a corpse." If it weren't for the bracelet on her hand, which purified part of her, perhaps she would have been like those Brahma fires. With that, he cut his fingers, dripped his own blood into Wei Qing's slightly open mouth, and then hugged her tightly, as if only by holding her tightly in his arms in this way could his heart be more stable. If there is really a regret medicine in this world, or if he can turn back time, he will never leave her again as he did at the beginning, and even if he is forced to do so, he must try his best to take her with him, so that she will not die and will not suffer what she is suffering now. The thought of the panic, pain, and helplessness she might have felt when she was first killed pained his heart beyond measure.
Feng Xiao quietly pulled the scorpion aside: "Did you say something to my sister-in-law?"
"I just told her we were looking for an ancient artifact, and by the way reminded her that she had one of her own, so I didn't say anything else. The scorpion couldn't figure out what was going on, he said innocently.
"But there's something wrong with her. Feng Xiao looked at the backs of Long Zheng and Wei Qing and said worriedly.
The scorpion sighed: "A woman's mind is really difficult to understand. ”
"You," Feng Xiao turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, "You idiot." ”
The stone door was about to close, and two figures, one tall and one short, flashed out of the darkness.
The short man said, "Brother Liche, I didn't expect them to really open that door!"
The faint blue light emitted by the cold light stick gently follows the contours of Li's face, forming a faint halo. He looked at the tall stone gate and nodded, "Yes." "Long Zheng's ability and lineage are obvious to all in the Heavenly Realm. They must have discovered his existence, or perhaps he had left such an obvious message so that they would know that they were in the light and that he was hiding in the dark. As for what they think of him, it has nothing to do with him, as long as he can protect Xiaoluan in the dark, those things don't matter.
"Let's go in," he turned to the short man beside him, "Ajia, from now on, we can really enter this underwater tomb." Since I can save you, I will definitely be able to take you out, so after entering the ancient tomb, everything must be under my command. ”
Ah Jia's face was solemn, he also looked up at the huge stone gate, and nodded: "From now on, I will be Brother Li's subordinate, and whatever Brother Liche tells me, I will go to the soup and fight the fire!"
Li Che shook his head and smiled softly, he didn't say anything more, he raised his feet, and at the last moment when the stone door closed, he and Ah Jia both disappeared into the endless darkness behind the door.
In the extreme darkness and quiet, Feng Xiao held a flashlight in his hand and groped his way forward, Long Zheng followed behind him with Wei Qing on his back, and Scorpion walked behind the hall in charge of the last place.
The walls of the blue brick tombs on both sides are covered with magnificent dragon murals, with smooth lines, rich contents, and bright colors, and if you look closely, you will find that each dragon painted on it is vivid, and even seems to have infinite wisdom like humans.
At this time, Long Zheng had no intention of researching. It's been a while, and the blood fed to Wei Qing should have worked, but she hasn't woken up yet, Long Zheng is very anxious. Could it be that in addition to the corpse poison in the tomb, she was also poisoned by other poisonous gases? At this moment, Wei Qing, who was still tightly closed, unconsciously rubbed Long Zheng's neck affectionately, as if whispering to a lover, she whispered softly: "Ah Zheng......"
