Luo Laoqi was still in a daze, but the grim-faced Taoist priest had already ran out of an ear room, came to the front palace and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Fake! They are all fake! These big insects are all illusions!"
The grim-faced Taoist priest yelled, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the entrance of the corridor where the "Tiger" had just rushed in. The black smoke there had already dissipated, and only a small yellow talisman on the ground was still burning. Through the remaining patterns of the yellow talisman Looking at it, you can vaguely see that it is several striped tigers painted on it.
"Damn! That Yin-Yang True Lord is not dead!" Taoist Ghostface stamped his feet in morale. Who else could use such a talisman to blind the eyes except the Yin-Yang True Lord who studied under the Maoshan Sect!
Yin Yang Zhenjun's lineage is a sect of thieves that branched off from Maoshan Sect. In addition to the skills of fighting upside down, he is also well versed in Maoshan magic. It is said that the magic of one-handed talismans can drive away evil spirits and cast down ghosts. Such blinding techniques This is considered a child's play. Those with advanced knowledge can even use the Yellow Talisman Puppet to see things from a distance. They are Taoist priests who actually know magic. They are not at the same level as half-baked hob players like the Grimace Taoist priests.
The Taoist priest with a grimace looked around the front palace and found that Li Tianwen and Qiu Laohua were nowhere to be seen. He hurriedly asked: "Old Qi! Where is the thief Li?!"
"I wasn't looking!" Luo Laoqi came back to his senses, pointed to the tomb wall next to him and said, "You were still leaning here just now, where did you go in the blink of an eye?"
The two of them were talking when a sound of stones rubbing against each other suddenly came from the ear chamber. The sound was coming from the ear chamber where the secret passage of the mechanism was hidden. The Taoist priest with a grimace was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound, and then he immediately reacted and said: "Dog Something escaped into a secret passage! Old Seven, come and follow!"
After finishing speaking, the grim-faced Taoist priest ran to the ear room. When he got inside, the stone bed had just returned to its original position. The grim-faced Taoist priest could only run to the end of the bed and pat the bed, but this time the stone bed did not move at all. It was not clear whether it was broken or stuck from inside.
The Taoist priest with a grimace slapped the mechanism a few more times, but there was still no response from the stone bed. He stood up angrily, kicked his head hard, and then cursed: "Damn it, thief Li Gou, he was stuck by the mechanism." Got it!"
"Then what should we do? Can Sajia try to push it away?"
"Such a heavy stone bed, if it can be pushed away, it wouldn't be called a mechanism."
He Siniang also ran into the ear room from the corridor at this time. She glanced at the situation in the room and already understood what happened. She immediately said: "Master, don't touch the button first. This kind of touch plate mechanism takes time." It has to wait a while before it can be opened again.”
"And this operation..." The Taoist Priest with a grimace retracted his foot. After all, He Siniang had been working in Meng Qingyao's shop for a long time, and she must know more about mechanism skills than she did. She said that was probably it, so let's wait for now.
While waiting, everyone quickly gathered in the ear room. Xia Houyun and Xia Houxiang also came. Both young and old were tortured. Xia Houyun was especially miserable. He was going to use golden sore medicine to seal the wound, but he ran for his life. The hole opened again, and the blood on the shoulder was flowing out, staining the clothes on the front and chest black and red.
Seeing this, He Siniang quickly helped Xia Houyun start treating the wound. The grimace Taoist glanced at Xia Houyun's face and saw that his eyelids were slightly drooped and his lips were bloodless. He must be extremely weak. It is not easy for someone at his age to move his body, let alone such a serious injury. If you don't take good care of yourself quickly, you may die on the way.
So the Taoist Priest with a grimace said: "Senior Xiahou, you are too seriously injured, so don't go out to work. I will ask the Xiahou Sect Master to send you back to the city later. I will leave the matter of chasing the gold seal to the juniors."
"No... no!" Xia Houyun said tremblingly: "The other party's methods are sinister. How can I let you take risks on our behalf? I will go with you after the wounds are bandaged."
"But second uncle, your injury..."
"No...ahem...no problem, stop talking."
Luo Laoqi smiled helplessly from the side and said, "You have already said something in vain, so why is it okay? Besides, if you look like this, he will also delay things!"
The Taoist priest with a grimace echoed: "The body is the most important thing in everything. The senior Yin Yang Master has also seen his methods. If you don't have a good waist, how can you defeat the unpredictable Maoshan magic?"
Taoist Priest Grimace and Luo Laoqi tried to persuade him, but Xia Houyun always refused to evacuate. After all, the Faqiu Golden Seal was of great significance to the Faqiu Sect. If he didn't personally go into battle to get it back, he would not be able to rest assured.
In the end, He Siniang came up with a compromise plan - she, Taoist Ghostface, and Luo Laoqi would go underground to chase Li Tianwen first, while Xia Houxiang guarded Xia Houyun and rested in the ear room for a while, waiting for his condition to recover. Then go down and meet the three people.
After discussing the countermeasures, it was time to restart the hidden bed mechanism. He Siniang bandaged Xia Houyun's wound, then walked to the wall and patted the button of the mechanism. The stone bed opened in response. Then everyone said take care to each other, and He Siniang walked in with Taoist Priest Ghostface and Luo Laoqi. Into the dark passage.
The three grim-faced Taoist priests each lit a torch this time. The road ahead was dangerous and unpredictable, and they had to have enough light.
After passing through the stone staircase tunnel, the three of them once again came to the suspended terrace where the sarcophagus was placed. The few objects inside and outside the sarcophagus were still there, but Li Tianwen and his party were nowhere to be seen around them.
"Where did the dog thief escape to?" Luo Laoqi looked around the rock wall. There was no other path around. He asked curiously: "Did he jump off the cliff?"
The Taoist priest with a grimace replied: "He is not a bird. How dare he jump off such a high and dangerous cliff? Let's find out if there are other paths."
"Where can I find a place with a bigger fart? How about moving the sarcophagus and taking a look?"
"The wooden pole stuck in the corner of the sarcophagus is still standing. It should not be there." He Siniang said, turning to the grim-faced Taoist priest: "Do you still remember, the Taoist priest, what Li Tianwen said in the ear room before, 'The gate of hell is open. '?"
"Pindao remembers that what Li Gouzi said was 'the gate of hell opens once every few years', and he also mentioned that this is the entrance to the 'Cave Country'."
"Weeping Country?" Luo Laoqi interrupted: "This name is depressing enough, why can't you come here with a smile?"
"Let's not worry about where this place is. We just want to talk about the opening of the ghost gate. Li Tianwen mentioned that the ghost gate only opens once every few years, and he also used the word 'rush'. Could it be that there is some mechanism with a long cycle hidden here? , it takes several years to go back and forth, and Li Tianwen and the others came down just in time to catch up with this node. By the time we were a step too late, the agency had already missed it and disappeared?"
The grim-faced Taoist priest frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Siniang, your suspicion is not unreasonable, but there are still clues in the ancient tomb. Even if you can invent a hidden secret passage that can be used every few years, there should be some clues." Traces, right? Moreover, the time difference between us and Li Tianwen was just a cup of tea, so the agency missed it in just such a short time? "
