Returning to the front palace, Xia Houxiang was already waiting anxiously for everyone. When he saw them, he hurriedly supported Xia Houyun and asked, "Second uncle, what should I do now?"
Xia Houyun saw that his grandnephew was trembling uncontrollably. He must have been extremely nervous, so he comforted him: "Don't panic! The most important thing is to stay calm when dealing with important matters. Please listen to the Taoist Master's arrangements."
The Taoist priest with a grimace asked everyone to extinguish the torches first, and then said: "Li Tianwen came from the south corridor. When entering the front palace, he will not notice the side and rear first. So, except Lao Qi, we all went to the south side room to ambush , Don’t crowd the two of them into one room. As soon as everyone on the other side comes forward, immediately launch a volley of crossbows and shoot them full of arms.”
"What about Taoist Master Sajia?"
"You go and hide behind the door of the main tomb. If we can't kill each other in one wave, we will inevitably fall into hand-to-hand combat. When the time comes, you can attack from behind and have a surprise effect."
"Okay! Sajia likes hand-to-hand combat, so Sajia will go over and hide now?"
"Go ahead and remember to close the door to the tomb so that no trace will be revealed."
After Luo Laoqi left, the Ghostface Taoist priests also came to the ear room respectively. Three of the four of them were concealed weapon users, so they divided into two teams. The Ghostface Taoist priest and He Siniang were in the front, and Xia Houyun and Xia Houxiang were behind. , just waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap, they will attack from the two ear rooms at the same time.
Everything was ready, and the underground palace instantly fell silent. Everyone clenched their weapons and listened to the movement of the corridor to the south.
After about half a cup of tea, the Taoist priest with a grimace faintly heard a "squeak" coming from the depths of the corridor, and immediately realized that the tomb door had been pushed open, and quickly whispered to He Siniang: "It's coming! "
He Siniang didn't hear any sound, but she also knew that the Taoist Ghost Face had good ears, so she responded in a low voice. Her voice sounded very calm, without any sense of anxiety before the war.
The grim-faced Taoist grinned and shook his head, thinking that Pindao's chest was so nervous now that his chest was beating, but your fourth wife was so calm, making Pindao look like a girl in comparison. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. When he went to listen to the corridor again, the sound of people's words was already very close with the footsteps.
The first thing that caught my ear was the voice called "Liuzi": Lieutenant Li, why does my brother smell like pine oil around him?
As soon as he said these words, the Taoist priest with a grimace suddenly became nervous. Did Li Tianwen bring a dog to fight? How come you can even smell the pine oil smell left after the torch burns?
The three ghost-faced Taoist priests went north this time, and many of the tools they bought for fighting were bought on the way, such as torches for lighting, such as the "Sir Torch" commonly used by Jianghu people.
The fir torch is easy to make. Just cut the fir bark into filaments or strips and tie them together to make a torch. The fir tree itself has a high oil content and can be found everywhere. It is the easiest material to find when traveling around the world. Use its bark to make a torch, and then mix some pine oil into it to illuminate things. However, in order for the torch to withstand burning, it is not advisable to add too much pine oil, otherwise the flame will be too strong and the torch will burn out after a while.
The grim-faced Taoist priest didn't expect that even the smell of pine oil could be smelled by the six disciples. Fortunately, the words of the Five Saints God Chai dispelled his worries: "Don't be so nervous. There is no lamp niche around here. Where can I get it?" Does it smell like pine oil?"
"What niches are there? I haven't done anything before, so I don't understand them. I just smell the pine oil in the torch."
"It's normal to have some miscellaneous smells in the bucket." Li Tianwen spoke: "I remember that there is a thousand niches room in the bucket, containing thousands of ever-burning lamps, so the smell of lamp oil must be very strong. There is a tomb in front of it, could it be a thousand niches room? Right there?"
"Master Li is right, let's go over and have a look."
Several people were talking and gradually walked towards the front palace. Taoist Priest He and Siniang with a grimace hurriedly hid in the depths of the ear room. At this time, the light of torches could be seen outside the door. The leader Liuzi said not far from the door: "There are no lights here? But why are there so many doors?"
"This is it!" Li Tianwen's voice trembled slightly: "The entrance to the 'Cave Country' that my ancestors mentioned is in one of the ear rooms!"
"Have we taken the first step? I thought I would have to look for him for a while."
"No need. The specific location is clearly remembered in the manuscript. It can save us time in time for the ghost gate to open once every few years."
The voice of Yin Yang Zhenjun also sounded at this time: "This trip went smoothly. Captain Li used a trick to deceive us. People all over the world thought that Juezi camp was going to destroy the tomb of King Hui first. Who knew? We have stepped into the underground palace of Qingle Mausoleum, and now we will see what the scene is like underground, and whether what we are looking for will be found in the cave country."
"I feel that this matter is very certain, but time is running out right now, so let's not delay here any longer. Just follow me, and I will go find the entrance to the mechanism now."
The Taoist Priest with a grimace looked at the light getting closer and closer outside the door, and his heart was in his throat. He planned to grab the tail of the team and fight out as soon as the leader on the other side passed the door of the ear chamber, just in time to fight with Xia Houyun. Make a dumpling one after the other.
Li Tianwen's figure was the first to pass by the door. The Taoist priest with a grimace looked at the judge's pen he carried behind his back, and his teeth were almost broken. He wished he could hit the crossbow on the back of his head right now. He Siniang, who was beside him, understood the grudge between the two, and noticed that the Grimace Taoist was trembling with hatred. She quickly stretched out her hand and pinched his waist, signaling that the Grimace Taoist should calm down and wait for the people behind to appear before killing him.
The grim-faced Taoist priest had no choice but to grit his steel teeth and endure, but Li Tianwen, who was walking in front of the door, suddenly stopped, then turned around suddenly and looked directly in the direction of the two of them.
The Taoist priest with a grimace and He Siniang were both shocked by his sudden statement, and the reaction of his hands was half a minute too slow. In this flash of lightning, Li Tianwen's body suddenly jumped to the side like a rabbit, and at the same time, he spoke He shouted urgently: "Be careful! There is an ambush!"
Does he have eyes on the back of his head? ! The Taoist priest with a grimace was the first to react. He turned his wrist and fired a crossbow at Li Tianwen. However, he raised his arm in a hurry and only aimed at Li Tianwen's lower limbs. Between the flickering light and shadow, he could only vaguely see the crossbow arrow grazing his calf. I don’t know if the injury hurt the flesh or not.
He Siniang ran out of the ear room immediately, and the sound of plum blossom sleeve arrows striking was heard in the front palace. Six sharp arrows immediately killed one person, and it was Liu Zi who was following Li Tianwen.
This sixth son was also an unlucky man who broke into the underworld - he should die. After Li Tianwen shouted to run away, he still stayed there in a daze. When Li Tianwen jumped behind him, he remembered to turn around and run away, but He Siniang's sleeve arrow was also broken at this time. He came out of nowhere and shot all the shots at him. The original target was aimed at Li Tianwen, but who knew that he was able to block him in the end.
