Shi Fuxin took Chu Yao to hide in the underground mausoleum. Just as she was about to turn the switch to close the entrance, Chu Yao stopped her with sharp words.
Shi Fuxin looked at him in surprise: "The black-robed guards are still looking for us everywhere. They don't even need to close the entrance or get close. They can find something strange here."
After saying that, he turned the switch involuntarily.
There was a friction sound, the stone door of the mausoleum moved quickly, and the light turned and dropped.
Watching the light disappear little by little, Chu Yao's face was filled with tension and anxiety, and he said in a panic: "You can light the torch first, and then turn it off."
Before he finished speaking, the last trace of light disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
"Please keep your voice down. If you are so loud, you won't be afraid of attracting the black-robed guards."
"I tell you to light the torch on the stone wall quickly, hurry up!"
Chu Yao's voice was excited and harsh, as if he had been stimulated by something. Shi Fuxin was also affected by his emotions: "Why are you in a hurry? I'm looking for a torch."
"The torch is on the stone wall, hurry up!" Chu Yao's voice was urgent and almost collapsed.
Shi Fuxin frowned, touched the torch on the stone wall, opened the torch, and lit the torch with a "sizzle" sound.
The dark space was instantly illuminated by firelight.
Shi Fuxin turned back to look at Chu Yao and found that he was lying against the stone wall, sweating profusely and limp, like a stranded fish.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Looking at Chu Yao, who still had a look of fear on his face, Shi Fuxin was a little surprised and confused.
Chu Yao tried hard to calm down his panicked and nervous mood, took several deep breaths, looked at Shi Fuxin angrily, and said in a bad tone: "I asked you to light the torch first, why didn't you listen?"
Shi Fuxin frowned: "Chu Yao, I don't know what's wrong with you, but I have to remind you that I don't owe you anything. If you have something to say, don't get angry at me."
Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin, pressed his heart which was still beating violently, closed his eyes and leaned against the wall in silence.
Shi Fuxin was also angry, snorted coldly, and began to look at the mausoleum and palace where she was. Just as she was about to look forward, she heard Chu Yao muttered: "I don't like dark rooms."
Shi Fuxin paused and looked back at Chu Yao. Does this guy have claustrophobia in the dark?!
Seeing his still limp appearance, Shi Fuxin's anger dropped a bit: "Can you still leave? Let's take a look inside?"
Chu Yao looked at the dark and deep stone path, and was frightened by the devouring feeling that came over him. He quickly looked away. After a moment, he looked at Shi Fuxin: "You can't go in there."
Shi Fuxin: "Why?"
Chu Yao was silent: "Do you know why this place is called the Tomb of the Living Dead?" Fu Xin didn't wait for a response and continued, "This is the place where the reincarnation hall is taught."
"People who have had their inner strength sucked away won't die for a while, and some won't die for several years. They will linger on and live like neither humans nor ghosts." He sneered, "This is the cemetery prepared for them to wait for death."
Shi Fuxin frowned: "Isn't your Reincarnation Hall a little evil?"
Chu Yao's expression was indifferent, without much emotion on his face. He just said: "Everyone takes what they need, it's just a cycle of cause and effect."
Because of the Palace of Reincarnation, he had the opportunity to inherit the inner strength of a top performer. This was his opportunity, and it was also the cause and effect he had to bear.
One day, he will be drained of his inner strength and wait for death in this tomb of the living dead.
Shi Fuxin wanted to say something, but her expression suddenly changed. She quickly stepped forward to help Chu Yao up, pulled out the torch from the stone wall, put it into Chu Yao's hand, and then quickly walked inside.
"somebody is coming."
"You can't go in."
"If you don't go deep, just hide inside for a while."
"Creak~"
The sound of the stone door moving was heard. Shi Fuxin had no time to say anything and quickly extinguished the torch.
Almost instantly, Shi Fuxin felt the weight of Chu Yao's entire body pressing on her, and her breathing became rough and messy. It wasn't until light came in from the entrance of the mausoleum that Chu Yao's condition got better.
"Bang, bang, bang~"
Something was thrown in and rolled on the ground.
Within a moment, a rotten smell reached the noses of Shi Fuxin and Chu Yao.
After Chu Yao heard it, his expression changed drastically. Regardless of his previous instructions and his inability to stay in a dark and small space, he pulled Shi Fuxin and strode inside.
At the entrance of the mausoleum, several black-robed guards recognized three black pills and entered before stopping.
"What if Chu Yao is not hiding inside?"
"Impossible. We have rummaged through the Tomb Valley, but we haven't found anything here. Chu Yao knows that we won't easily enter the Tomb of the Living Dead. This is his best hiding place."
"Chu Yao won't be able to fly even if he gets his wings this time."
"Congratulations to brother Chu Shen. What Chu Yao inherited is the inner strength of a top master. After you absorb it, you will definitely become one of the top masters in the Samsara Palace."
Several black-robed guards congratulated a young man in his early twenties.
The young man waved his hand modestly: "Chu Yao hasn't caught him yet." Although he said this, the excitement and excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
Several other black-robed guards looked at each other and lowered their heads, hiding the jealousy in their eyes.
Chu Shen had a grandfather who was an elder. No matter how good they were, they couldn't compare to this man.
"Let's go in, Chu Yao should be a piece of fish on the chopping board."
Chu Shen entered the tomb first, followed closely by the other black-robed guards.
There was only one passage in the mausoleum, and when a few people entered, Chu Yao took Shi Fuxin and walked a hundred steps.
As soon as he stopped, Chu Yao quickly groped on the stone wall. When he touched a tiny pit, he quickly pressed it.
In an instant, the floor beneath their feet sank, and the two of them fell together.
When Chu Shen and others came to find them with torches, they had already disappeared, so they could only bravely go deeper into the mausoleum.
"Bang, bang!"
Shi Fuxin and Chu Yao were hit hard on the ground, and both of them couldn't help crying out in pain.
The black pills used by Chu Shen were specially prepared by the Reincarnation Palace. They are very powerful against extremely dangerous things.
In the narrow stone passage, the poisonous smoke spread quickly and was unavoidable. Even though Shi Fuxin and Chu Yao quickly held their breaths, they still inhaled some.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this moment, although the two people are conscious, they have lost control of their bodies.
Falling into darkness again, emotions such as tension, fear, helplessness, and death instantly overwhelmed Chu Yao, whimpering and roaring like a person in a nightmare.
Listening to the sound of Chu Yao's panic and collapse in the darkness, Shi Fuxin quickly activated her healing powers to remove the toxins in her body caused by inhaling the poisonous smoke.
Two quarters of an hour later, just when Chu Yao was about to run out of breath, there was a 'pop' sound and Shi Fuxin opened the fire seal.
The weak firelight was like a source of life, bringing vitality to Chu Yao.
Looking at Chu Yao who was soaked all over, as if he had been fished out of the water, Shi Fuxin silently took the torch he was holding tightly in his hand and lit it.
The fire light increased, and Chu Yao let out a heavy breath as if someone had loosened his grip on his neck.
Shi Fuxin held up the torch and waited quietly for Chu Yao to regain his composure.
After Chu Yao's breathing became calmer, he looked at Shi Fuxin: "How can you move?"
Shi Fuxin: "I am immune to all poisons."
Chu Yao: "."
Shi Fuxin looked at him: "Do you want me to give you acupuncture to help you mobilize your internal energy?" After a pause, "Your internal energy was rioting before. Once you can mobilize your internal energy, you may suffer a backlash."
Chu Yao is not afraid of backlash and the pain of backlash. Over the years, he has become numb and accustomed to it. The top priority is to get out of the current predicament quickly: "Okay."
Shi Fuxin took off the hairpin and twisted the pearl on the top of the hairpin, revealing the hollow hairpin stem and pouring out more than ten silver needles.
Chu Yao watched silently, his eyes sparkling.
Shi Fuxin glanced at him sideways and injected the needle into him slowly: "Mr. Yao, we are sharing weal and woe this time. After we are out of danger, you have to protect me."
Chu Yao looked at her: "Do you need me to cover you?"
Shi Fuxin: "Of course, why, you don't want to?"
Chu Yao said nothing.
Shi Fuxin glanced at her mouth and concentrated on applying the acupuncture.
"I will help you mobilize your internal energy first, and then help you sort out your internal energy. In this way, the backlash you will receive will be lighter."
An hour later, Chu Yao sat up with a painful expression, and then began to cross his legs and perform exercises to resist the backlash of internal forces.
After his expression calmed down, Shi Fuxin said: "I think you have a good talent in martial arts. Why don't you practice martial arts on your own instead of inheriting other people's internal strength?"
"If internal energy could be absorbed and inherited by others at will, wouldn't the entire world of martial arts be in chaos?"
"If you think about it, you know this is undesirable."
Chu Yao was silent for a while, perhaps because he was weak at the moment, or perhaps because he was in the punishment room where he suffered so much pain when he was young. Just when Shi Fuxin thought he would not answer, Chu Yao spoke: "My
Sometimes I just want to argue."
Shi Fuxin: "Huh?"
Chu Yao: "The year I entered the Reincarnation Hall, I was ten years old."
Shi Fuxin looked puzzled: "So?"
Chu Yao looked at her: "Don't you know what the outside world says about me? When I was ten years old, I spied on my father's maid and had evil intentions. I was a lustful ghost and a beast unworthy of being a human being."
Shi Fuxin: "So, you entered the Palace of Reincarnation out of anger?"
Hearing this, Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin in surprise: "Do you believe I haven't done anything scandalous?"
Shi Fuxin said "Yeah" and gave Chu Yao a look that said, "She is a person with brains."
Seeing her like this, Chu Yao showed a rare smile: "It's not because I'm angry, it's because I want to control my own destiny and stop being arbitrarily defiled and trampled by others."
Shi Fuxin thought for a while and said: "Since you didn't do those things, you come forward to clarify. If you are not capable enough, ask your elders for help."
Chu Yao sneered: "It's useless. In the entire palace, except for my mother and my little sister, no one believes in me. My mother is not loved by my father and the king, so she can't help me at all."
"As for other people in the palace, what they hope most is that there is no such person as me in this world. They are the ones who spread the most rumors about me from the outside world."
Shi Fuxin was silent: "Your family is really complicated."
The writing of these two chapters is a bit cluttered, with deletions and changes. The male protagonist is a broken child, and many of his external behaviors are just to protect himself. I hope the writing is not unflattering.
