Tomb Raiders

On the second day, Shen Liaobai followed Chu Yuyang to Chang'an. Dingzhou was a long way from Chang'an, and Chu Yuyang took Shen Liaobai's body into consideration, stopped and stopped all the way, and it took almost a month to arrive. Chang'an.

The Chu family's mansion is very large, but the decoration is very simple. Shen Liaobai was arranged in a guest room not far from Chu Yuyang's bedroom. Even so, during the seven days he lived there, he never saw Chu Yuyang again. The servant who served him said that Chu Yuyang was busy with family affairs and would visit Shen Liaobai whenever he had time.

Fortunately, there is a library in Chu Yuyang’s residence, which contains many wonderful books about the mystery of the tomb. Shen Liaobai has Chu Yuyang’s permission to read in it all day long. His memory is excellent, and the contents he read will be firmly remembered Remember, although I don't know if there will be a chance to go to the ground with Chu Yuyang again, it will not hurt to know more.

Shen Liaobai also saw a record in a palm-sized book stuffed in a corner that seemed to have something to do with the tattoo on his back, but there were only a few words. The Tao was made by the Siamese, and the craftsmanship was so complicated that it was almost lost. Initially, the tattoos are only the size of a finger. As the body of the owner changes, the tattoos will also change. Tattoos with different patterns and materials have different functions.

If it was before, Shen Liaobai would definitely not believe this miraculous description, but after experiencing everything in Zhang Jiao's tomb, what he wants to know most now is how to use the tattoos.If it is true what old master Shen said, tattoos can keep the two brothers safe, then Yingqing must be safe.

However, thinking of the notes left by Yingqing in the exit corridor, Shen Liaobai was a little uncertain, and if Yingqing was fine, he should report to his family that he was safe instead of losing track like now.

Looking at the pages of the book and thinking, a shadow suddenly fell over his head. Shen Liaobai raised his head and looked into Chu Yuyang's amber eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "Why do you walk without making a sound?"

Chu Yuyang sat down next to him, the bed was slightly smaller, the two big men sat shoulder to shoulder, hand to hand, "You are so fascinated by reading." He took the book from Shen Liaobai's hand , Turning to the cover page, it is a miscellaneous note, describing the mystery in the tomb and how to solve it, "Since when have you become interested in this?"

The late autumn in Chang'an was very cold and damp, Shen Liaobai was so close to Chu Jianyang, he finally felt warm, he rubbed his cuffs, and said: "Just take a look, if we meet next time, I won't panic. "

Chu Yuyang raised his eyebrows, put the book back on the shelf, and said: "I will be by your side then, you don't have to worry about it. I think you seem to be thinner, but it's still you because the servants in the mansion didn't treat you well. Just thinking about it?"

"Why, they treated me very well," Shen Liaobai smiled, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Chu Yuyang's question, he looked at Chu Yuyang carefully, and said jokingly: "It's you, You look haggard, maybe you haven't had a good rest."

Chu Yuyang narrowed his pale eyes, and said, "I'm really tired from being busy with housework these days."

Shen Liaobai took it seriously, and quickly pushed him, "Then go and rest quickly."

Chu Jianyang lazily leaned on Shen Liaobai's body, closed his eyes and stopped talking.Shen Liaobai thought he was thinking about something, but after waiting for a while, he turned his head away and found that he had just fallen asleep sitting up like this. Although Chu Yuyang had always been indifferent and rarely showed any expression, he was sleeping like this without any precautions. It is the first time for Shen Liaobai to see it.

Shen Liaobai stared at him unconsciously. With his slightly curled eyelashes, thick black eyebrows and fluff on his fair skin, he was probably exhausted. He fell asleep in such an awkward position, and the window was still wide open. As he stood, the wind would blow in from time to time, Shen Liaobai was afraid that he would catch a cold, and wanted to get a blanket but was afraid of waking him up.

This kind of contradictory thoughts continued until the temperatureless autumn sun set down the mountain, Chu Yuyang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally woke up.

He looked out of the window, and the sky was reddened by the sunset glow, "It seems that I have slept for a long time."

"You are too tired." Shen Liaobai said, moving his numb arm by the way.

Chu Yuyang turned his head, the corners of his eyes were raised slightly, and he rarely showed a faint smile. It seemed that his usually indifferent face suddenly had a gentle meaning, which was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"Liaobai, what's the matter?" Chu Yuyang looked at the dazed Shen Liaobai and asked.

I don't know when Chu Yuyang changed his address to his first name, but Shen Liaobai didn't notice the change in address, he was still in a daze.

"By the way," Chu Yuyang said as if remembering something, "Do you still remember the branch Shen Yingqing left behind?"

Hearing him mention Shen Yingqing, Shen Liaobai finally came back to his senses and said, "Is there a clue?"

Chu Yuyang nodded, and said: "My uncle sent someone yesterday to find out some clues. He will come over to have dinner with me in a while, so you can come too."

Now that we have an idea, maybe we can follow up the investigation, Shen Liaobai readily agreed.

Shen Liaobai followed Chu Jianyang out of the house, and Zhaocai immediately flew over from the trees in the courtyard and landed on Shen Liaobai's shoulders. The few long hairs on the top of its head that were pecked off by the falcon had already grown. When I came out, I was blown by the wind, and I was a bit airy.Since Shen Liaobai came to Chang'an, it has followed all the way. It was raised by Yingqing himself, and has the deepest relationship with Yingqing. Shen Liaobai thought that taking it with him might help find Yingqing, so he followed .

Fortunately, its arrogant temper has subsided a bit, and its relationship with Chu Yuyang's falcon named Laifu has also improved. He and Laifufei go out to play all day long, and they don't stay home. When they come back now, they must be hungry.

"I'll feed you later after eating." Shen Liaobai touched the few feathers on its head and said.

Zhaocai cooed twice, and it was accepted.

When he came to the lobby, there was already a person waiting there, that person was wearing a crimson official robe, with a double fish bag hanging around his waist, he raised his head when he heard the sound, his features were somewhat similar to Chu Yuyang's.

"My son, I haven't seen you for a few months, I miss you very much for my father." The man stroked his beard and said.

Shen Liaobai froze in place for a moment, could this be Chu Qianyang's father?Seeing that the official robe and appearance really resemble each other, where is Yingqing?

Seeing that Chu Yuyang was expressionless, he stepped forward and grabbed the man's beard, and pulled it down violently, the man immediately screamed in pain, and even Shen Liaobai wrinkled for him eyebrow.

"Qianyang, can't you cooperate in front of your friends!" The man held his chin with tears in his eyes.

Chu Yuyang snorted coldly, and introduced to Shen Liaobai: "This is my uncle."

Shen Liaobai didn't know how to address him, and he was still thinking about it, when he heard Chu Qianyang say again: "Just call him Uncle."

Although it's a bit of a relationship, but since Chu Yuyang said so, Shen Liaobai had no choice but to obediently call him uncle.

After the beard on Meng Lian's face was torn off by Chu Yuyang, he stroked his face again, and all the wrinkles on his face fell off, revealing the face of a man in his 30s, "Nephew, this is the first time we meet, uncle I don't have anything for you." He tore off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Shen Liaobai, "This is my family's jade pendant, please keep it."

Shen Liaobai naturally evaded and said: "This thing is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Chu Yuyang directly took it and stuffed it into Shen Liaobai's hands, saying: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he bought this piece of warm jade from a merchant from Huihe. You have cold hands and feet all day long, so it's perfect to give it to you. If you If you don’t accept it, he will keep worrying about it, don’t you want to hear him talk about the branches?”

Having said all this, Shen Liaobai had no choice but to thank him and took it. It was as good as its name, and it felt very warm and warm when he took it, like holding a small stove in his hand.

The servants brought up the food, and they sat down in front of the table. Meng Lian just ate, looking as if he was very hungry.

"Uncle...Uncle," this address was still a bit of a mouthful, Shen Liaobai paused for a while before saying again: "Excuse Liaobai's straightforwardness, I don't know why you want to pretend to be Chu's father?"

Because Meng Lian was still stuffed in his mouth, Chu Yuyang replied instead: "As an official of the court, if my father disappears in vain, he will definitely attract attention, so my uncle changed his appearance and went to work instead of my father."

"Being an official is really tiring," Meng Lian said, swallowing the food in his mouth, "I have to get up at four o'clock. I am on duty in the palace all day, and occasionally I have to go out to supervise projects. You see, I don't have time to eat all day long." .”

For a small official position, there are tens of thousands of students desperately trying to fight for it, just like Song Qiancheng who died in the tomb, didn't he want to be an official so as to honor his ancestors? This is the first time Shen Liaobai has heard people dislike him The officer worked hard.

Meng Lian finished picking up the rice in the bowl, and asked the servant to add more. Taking advantage of the gap, he wiped his mouth and said, "I don't see any clues about the branches sent by Jiyang, so I gave them to the old man of the Chu family who has lived in seclusion for a long time. Grandpa said that he only heard people mention it when he went to the field once. At that time, Grandfather was still young, and he went to the field with the most famous gentleman in our industry. The husband accidentally told them that there was a hidden village on the ancient South Vietnam border. The deep mountain is where the immortals live, and where the immortals live, it is surrounded by Liquan, and in the Liquan, where the vitality gathers, there grows a fairy tree."

He scratched his hair, and seemed to be struggling to recall, "Grandfather said that the fairy tree was also scorched black. As for its use, I don't know. Since it belongs to the fairy family, we mortals can't touch it. A group of people touched this fairy tree, and they were blamed by the fairy and punished."

Shen Liaobai shook his head and said: "That horn is not a fairy, he turned into a monster in the end, how could there be something from the fairy family?"

Meng Lian fiddled with the sashimi in the bowl, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth, he mumbled with the food in his mouth, "Could it be because he took the branch that the immortal turned him into a monster?"

Naturally, Shen Liaobai didn't want to agree with this idea, because Yingqing might have touched this thing too. According to this, would Yingqing also become a monster?But what Meng Lian said seems to make sense...

"If you want to see people, if you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies," Chu Yuyang said lightly, "It's better than sitting at home and worrying."

"I...I think Zhang Jiao seems to have a little intelligence," Shen Liaobai thought for a while, and then said what he thought in the tomb passage, "He tore off the muscles on those people's feet, trapped them to death In the treasure cave, although his eyes are just a pair of orbs, when he faces me, I... always feel that he really saw me."

Chu Yuyang shook his hand comfortingly, and said: "Don't think too much, even if the same thing happens, there may not be no solution."

Chu Yuyang's gentle tone calmed Shen Liaobai, and Shen Liaobai nodded. Up to now, he can only take one step at a time.

Looking at Chu Yuyang's considerate and gentle appearance, Meng Lian in that room seemed to have seen some great miracle, showing a strange expression of shock, astonishment and inconceivable confusion.
