Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Gently flick her lower lip...
At this moment, the insect began a new round of restlessness. The Chen Qing in front of it was undoubtedly an attractive and tempting commodity.
Li Daoxuan's nose was filled with tempting sweetness. His eyes were red and he suppressed his impatience and dried her hair.
Li Daoxuan was in a hurry to go out, so he didn't bring a hairband with him. His hair was now scattered without restraint and it was undoubtedly a burden. So he caught a glimpse of the silk ribbon on Chen Qing's head as an ornament, and the next moment he took it and tied his own hair.
Chen Qing had two peach pink silk ribbons tied in her bun, with small pink and white gradient bells sewn on the ribbons. Now when Li Daoxuan pulled off her ribbons, he discovered a small bell sewn on them. He tried to shake the bell off, but to no avail.
Seeing that he was about to pull the bell, Chen Qing quickly stopped him and said, "No! This was sewn by my mother for me. If you pull it, I'll be angry with you!"
Li Daoxuan could only close his eyes and endure it again and again. After he had prepared himself mentally, he took out the pink silk ribbon to tie his hair. But when he was halfway through, he found that the silk ribbon was too short. No matter how he tried, he couldn't fix it. There was always a lock of hair that was about to fall off.
He became increasingly irritated and just wanted to tear the silk ribbon in his hand. He also found the ringing bell annoying.
Chen Qing's sharp eyes caught the restlessness between Li Daoxuan's brows. To protect her own silk ribbon, she snatched it away and turned him over. "Squat down. I'll do it for you. Just make sure it's done."
Li Daoxuan grasped the words "it will be fine in a moment" and squatted down doubtfully, his mind becoming more and more confused.
Chen Qing walked around behind him and scanned his entire body. Seeing that there was really nothing that could replace the hairband, she reluctantly pulled off the other silk ribbon on his bun.
"Don't you notice that one is too short? You have so much hair, so long. You must need two silk ribbons, idiot."
However, when Chen Qing started to work on it, she discovered that Li Daoxuan's hair was much denser than it looked to the naked eye. She used her five fingers as claws to comb his hair, but after a long time she still couldn't do it properly. She couldn't help but feel guilty.
Feeling a pair of claws fidgeting with his head for a long time without any further action, Li Daoxuan suppressed his emotions and said, "If you don't know how to tie your hair, just let it go. I can do it myself."
Chen Qing's eyes wandered, but she said stubbornly, "Who doesn't know how to do it? Just comb your hair more often to prevent tangles."
She tried it again, not believing it, but the hair seemed to have spiritual loach, always slipping away from her hands cunningly. At first, there was a smile on Chen Qing's lips, but later, the smile shifted to the corner of Li Daoxuan's lips.
Feeling someone's inability to do anything, Li Daoxuan simply sat on the ground with his hands on his knees. He said leisurely: "It hasn't healed after so long. Could it be that Madam Shen is just pretending to know something when she doesn't?"
Chen Qing said angrily: "No! I am, I am striving for perfection, just wait and see!" Seeing that she really couldn't tie her hair up, Chen Qing's eyes flashed, she bit her lip and simply let her hair down.
Li Daoxuan only felt the back of his head being pulled, and his head was tilted back by a force. Then his head was pressed down by a small hand, "Didn't you eat? Control your head! Don't move!" The voice was a little urgent.
With this contact, the poisonous insects in the body seemed to be subdued for a moment. Li Daoxuan closed his eyes and said, "Hurry up." He really calmed his head.
Fortunately, after some twists and turns, Chen Qing finally got it done.
There was an unstoppable smile in her eyes, and she looked quite mysterious: "Okay."
Li Daoxuan saw the smile in her eyes, and felt something was wrong. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his head, but was unexpectedly grabbed by Chen Qing's wrist. He felt a burning sensation on his wrist, and could feel the tenderness of the girl's palm. It was very hot, but there was not much sweat, so he could barely bear it.
Chen Qing changed the subject and said, "Alright, alright, get up quickly. We have to find a way out. The Liu family's wife has been possessed by the lotus spirit and is waiting for me to go."
She pretended to pull Li Daoxuan up, and he actually did, following her strength. Hearing this, he asked, "The lotus spirit feeds on human essence and soul. A soul it absorbs will dissipate in a single stick of incense. How can you even summon it back?"
Seeing that he was interested, Chen Qing spoke more and more excitedly: "You don't know this, that lotus spirit is a nobody. It absorbed Liu Niang's refreshing spirit but was unable to digest it. It choked and vomited out its soul."
Li Daoxuan was silent for a while, and finally said: "He is really a nobody." After saying that, he frowned sharply, covered his dantian with his hands, and his face turned pale. If Chen Qing had not supported him, he would have knelt on the ground at this moment.
Chen Qing was shocked and asked, "What's wrong with you?!" He had never been like this in his previous life. Could it be that he had been poisoned recently and couldn't get rid of it?
Little did they know that in their previous life, when the Gu broke out, Li Daoxuan would not appear in front of everyone and expose his weakness. Therefore, Chen Qing never knew that Li Daoxuan would have three inconvenient days a month. Today was purely an accident.
Li Daoxuan had no intention of telling Chen Qing, he just knew that he had to get out quickly.
The first day of the Gu insect attack is usually the mildest, so he can still retain some sanity, but if it comes to the second or third day, he will completely lose his sanity. Then not only will Chen Qing be in danger, but if the owner of the underground palace happens to come home, I am afraid that both of them will be in trouble.
He simply grabbed Chen Qing with his backhand, trying to soothe the poisonous insects in his body and relieve some of the discomfort. He just grabbed Chen Qing's hand and said, "Keep going. Talk to me more. You can say anything."
Chen Qing suppressed her doubts and racked her brains to think of something to say to distract him. She carefully observed his expression all the way and asked, "Do you know what kind of demon the owner of this underground palace is?"
Li Daoxuan shook his head. Just as a sense of loss was rising in Chen Qing's heart, he added, "But it can be speculated."
Chen Qing was intrigued by him, and while holding one of his arms, she asked, "How do you speculate?"
Li Daoxuan said, "Water gathers Yin. Yin Qi and demonic Qi are respectively the Qi of dead things and the Qi of Yang spirits. In most cases, the two repel and counteract each other. This underground palace is located beneath the Huachun Pond, a damp place that gathers Yin. Those who like such places are generally Yin spirits."
Shen Qing nodded in agreement, "And then?"
"There are only a handful of water ghosts and evil spirits in Huachun Pond, and they can be counted on one hand. Ordinary rivers often harbor more than this number of evil creatures. So there's only one possibility—all the evil creatures in the water have been devoured by this great demon. To have such power can only mean that the owner of this underground palace is no ordinary ghost, but at least a creature of great evil."
"Finally," he suddenly stopped, "Rather than calling this an underground palace, it's better to call it a tomb. It seems that only the rumored White Water Evil fits the description."
Chen Qing felt a cold sweat break out on her back when she heard him say this. "Tomb?" So she had walked in someone's tomb, and even the water she had just soaked in might have been contaminated by a corpse?!
She suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, and a chill ran down her spine. However, when she heard Li Daoxuan speculate that the tomb owner was most likely Baishuisha, her suspicions were undoubtedly deepened. She had already suspected from the beginning that this was Baishuisha's territory.
Li Daoxuan continued to lead her forward. This time was different from the last time. A door suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking the road.
A huge door stood in front of it, covered with dirt and clods, and the gaps around it were sealed tightly with tin.
Chen Qing stared at the dried tin for a long time, and finally she came to the conclusion: "There is definitely an exit here." At the same time, she was more convinced of what Li Daoxuan said, that this place was a tomb, and not an ordinary family's tomb.
From the numerous mechanisms in the tomb and the tin in front of us, it can be seen that the owner of this tomb is definitely of high status.
There is a small niche in the tomb, and it is a brick chamber with an arc-shaped top and many mechanisms installed. Even the gaps are sealed with tin. It is not something that ordinary people can do. According to the regulations of this dynasty, the specifications and form of this tomb are at least a tomb of the third rank or above.
As for why it is said that there is an exit nearby, it is only because the underground palace is underwater all year round and is better sealed than ordinary tombs. There should be no oxygen. But now there is not only oxygen to keep the wall lamps burning for a long time, but also causes a large area of tin to become gray due to oxidation. All these conditions indicate that there is another exit here.
Chen Qing said, "If this is a tomb, then the pile of bones that attacked us at the beginning should be the people buried with us."
So when they shout "Trespassers will be killed", it is a warning to outsiders who want to rob the tomb.
How evil must the owner of this tomb be to be able to make the originally dead bones become spirits and guard this huge underground palace.
The only thing Chen Qing could think of was Bai Shuisha.
Because she had never seen Baishuisha in her previous life, she only learned from her senior brother that Baishuisha was a huge human-shaped monster, still a young man, who liked to eat some harmless water ghosts and evil creatures in the water. Because he did not like the sun's rays, he mostly stayed at home during the day and came out at night.
But generally speaking, Baishuisha will not come out, because it is too evil and will affect the celestial phenomena every time it goes out. Therefore, some strange people and sorcerers are alarmed to come and exorcise the demon. Baishuisha finds it troublesome and stays at home all year round.
Chen Qing really wanted to open the door at this moment to see if Bai Shuisha's body was inside. If this could destroy Bai Shuisha's body, he would definitely be seriously injured, and his senior brother's journey to eliminate demons would be smoother.
Li Daoxuan seemed to have guessed what Chen Qing was going to do. He grabbed Chen Qing's hand and said, "If this great demon is really the White Water Demon, then his body will definitely not be easily moved by the two of us today. The best plan now is to get out."
As for the matter of capturing the monster, we would have to wait until he recovered. Apart from anything else, even someone as cold and indifferent as him would never watch such a huge hidden danger exist in Chang'an City.
Unfortunately, Chen Qing didn't know Li Daoxuan's plan. She only felt that if she missed this great opportunity today, she would be very unwilling.
She glanced at the door in front of her and wanted to open it to see if Bai Shuisha's body was inside, but Li Daoxuan's condition was getting worse and worse. She could even see the sweat coming out of his nose.
The underground palace was cold and he wasn't wearing much, so if we ruled out the possibility of sweating from the heat, it was most likely caused by pain.
She almost bit her lower lip, her heart filled with resentment, but her reason told her that Li Daoxuan was right, the body of the great demon would not be easily found.
Chen Qing couldn't help but breathe heavier. Just when she was about to give up, a finger came up to her lips and gently parted her lower lip.
"What if it bleeds?"
