Chapter 52 The Old Man in the Royal Tomb

That thing in the darkness seemed to have stagnated. Looking back, the face of the person in front of him was already flushed.

He stretched out his hand to explore, his forehead was hot.

But the cool touch of his hand made Qin Zhen tremble all over, and began to rub against his hand.

Si Wuji's eyes were already extremely dark, and it seemed that there was a vortex trying to suck in the person in front of him.

After a long time, he sighed softly, stretched out his hand to press her abdomen, and a burst of true energy passed from his palm.

Not long after, Qin Zhen opened his eyes. He was no longer in a trance just now. He was about to speak as he watched his downcast eyes conveying true energy to her.

But Si Wuji said in a hoarse voice: "Follow your true energy with mine. If the two strands gather together, they should be able to suppress it."

Qin Zhen's eyes lit up and she nodded again and again, but the true energy of others was not her own. Before she had traveled far, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Fortunately, she also has amazing perseverance, and she just endured the pain to draw her true energy into her abdomen.

I don't know how long it took until I felt that the two strands of zhenqi had really merged and were able to swim away smoothly, so I let out a long breath.

Finally suppressed it!
But at this moment, she was slightly taken aback, and turned to look at him, "You seem to have a meridian blocked?"

Under his tugging just now, she had a trace of true energy strayed into his body, but she didn't expect to be noticed by her.

Si Wuji withdrew his hand lightly, "Go ahead."

"No, your body..."

"Let's go." Si Wuji didn't wait for him to finish, and turned his head to look at the corridor, "Come out, we've seen enough plays."

Qin Zhen was startled, and immediately looked into the depths. There was clearly nothing there, or she had low martial arts skills and didn't notice it at all.

"Jie Jie...the insight is not bad." The voice sounded like a broken gong.

In the darkness, a haggard old man stepped out.

Qin Zhen gasped suddenly. This was a crooked old man with disheveled hair. At least half of his face was destroyed, exposing white bones, and the other half was scorched black as if it had been burned.

He only has half of his teeth, and when he speaks, he can only see the movement of his upper and lower jaws.Leaning on a dragon-headed cane in his left hand, the clothes on his body are colorless at all, but there are faintly visible dragon patterns on them.

Who is this person! ?
Si Wuji didn't make a sound, until he walked in front of the two of them, only then did he see that one eye socket was missing.

The other eye was blue and white, and half of his face looked at Qin Zhen with a half-smile, "This little doll is quite interesting, what's its name?"

Qin Zhen frowned. Now, the dragon pattern on his clothes became clearer, and the hand with the cane...

No, it's not a hand at all, just like a dead branch, the skin is tightly attached to the bone.

If it's a mausoleum guard who shouldn't dare to dress like this, then who is this person?
"Zeng Lan." She said slowly.

The old man laughed strangely, then looked at Si Wuji again, "What about you?"

Si Wuji withdrew his gaze, but sullenly bowed his hands, "Si Wuji."

"Hahahaha...do you know who I am?"

Si Wuji nodded slightly, "Please let the two of us go."

The old man seemed to stare, "What if I say no?"

"Then we can only force our way in."

The old man was not angry, but laughed loudly, "You want Jinling bindweed?"

Si Wuji nodded.

Qin Zhen looked at him, and for some reason, a bold idea came to his mind, but soon felt that it was impossible, so he quickly suppressed this idea.

"Senior, the Seventh Prince has been poisoned. We need Jin Ling Convolvulus to fight the poison with poison. Please make it easy for you." Qin Zhen said slowly.

The old man snorted, "What does it have to do with me? This thing is the most precious thing in the world. It's rare to see a single plant in decades. How can I just give it away."

This is to talk about conditions, Qin Zhen frowned, "Then what do you want?"

"Answer a few questions for me first."

"Please speak."

Hearing this, the old man leaned on a cane and looked towards the corridor, "Do you want to live forever?"

What kind of question is this? Qin Zhen only felt it was weird, but this question brought back the thoughts she had suppressed just now.

She glanced sideways at Si Wuji, but heard him say calmly: "Everyone in the world wants to live forever."

"That's what I thought." Speaking of this, his tone became strange.

Ke Si Wuji said again: "I don't want to."

"Why!" The old man's voice suddenly became sharp, as if he heard an incredible speech.

Si Wuji glanced at him and said briefly, "Bitter."

The old man seemed to be angry, "How do you know suffering if you haven't experienced it! Human beings deserve to suffer in this life! Longevity allows you to do more things you want to do!"

Qin Zhen naturally understood why he said this, but the old man seemed dissatisfied, and turned to her with a face that could see the bones, "What about you!"

"I don't want to either!"

"reason!"

"tired."

As for her, she only wants to eat and drink. It's best to sleep until she wakes up naturally every day. When she has free time, she can study poisonous insects and weeds. If she is bored, she can toss her master.

If it wasn't for self-protection, she wouldn't even want to learn martial arts, and she would spend her life in an ordinary life, which would be great.

"You...you!" The old man was angry, and half of his teeth were gnashing.

In the end, he kicked his left foot towards the bottom of the dragon head's crutch, and a powerful infuriating energy swept over him.

"careful!"

As Si Wuji said, he grabbed her and turned over to escape.

But the old man didn't stop, waving the crutches in his hands, every force was extremely terrifying, and he still muttered: "Longevity! Why don't you want to live forever!"

Qin Zhen was hugged, and looked over with deep eyes, the stone road had been smashed to pieces by him, and blood poured down.

It didn't take long for this place to be in ruins, and we had to find a way to get there, otherwise the guards outside would come in soon after such a big commotion, and when they were discovered, they would be left alone.

Si Wuji also seemed to be aware of this, and approached him while dodging.

This time, the anger of the old man was aroused even more, "Since you don't want to live forever, go to die!"

He slapped it with his palm, and a huge force came mixed with strong wind.

Si Wuji didn't dare to answer, and whispered something to Qin Zhen, who nodded quickly, "I'll try."

After saying that, Si Wuji suddenly threw her out, but the old man didn't seem to be able to react to this scene.

With strength, Qin Zhen sprinkled the poisonous powder in her hand. This was her last poisonous powder, and the rest were soaked by the rain.

"It must be hit!"

Praying in her heart, she threw the poisonous powder and it was about to float to the bottom of the wall, so she kicked hard.

The old man also reacted, sneered, and was about to dodge, when Si Wuji came over suddenly on the other side.

"Bam—"

With a loud bang, the old man's face passed through the poisonous powder and hit the wall.

"Let's go." Qin Zhen stretched out his hand to grab him, and then ran to the depths of the corridor.

Soon there was no movement behind them, and the two of them just ran like this. After an unknown amount of time, the front suddenly became clear.

This is an open space, and there are eight entrances on the opposite side, each of which looks exactly the same.
