Everyone followed Chen Xiaotian's instructions and quickly split up. After a while, they stepped on the six-sided fans one by one.
At this time, the smoke was approaching the entrance of the lobby. Seeing that there was no further delay, Chen Xiaotian said hurriedly and loudly: "Okay, everyone, listen to my instructions. One person will stand on each fan, one person on each fan, and four people will lift the fans at the same time."
The men in black followed the order and stood still. Seeing that everyone was already in place, Chen Xiaotian said loudly: "One, two, three... get up!" Twenty-four people used their strength at the same time to lift the six-sided fans one by one.
Chen Xiaotian organized the three-sided fans in the front into one group, and the remaining three fans into two groups. The first group of three-sided fans stood side by side in front of the entrance.
Chen Xiaotian gave an order, and the three large fans began to rotate rapidly from left to right. A whirlwind immediately blew up in the hall. After encountering the whirlwind, the thick smoke quickly retreated.
When everyone saw it, they all exclaimed: "Great!" "He's saved now!" "Wonderful! I can't die!"
After one group of people became exhausted, the people in the second group immediately replaced them with fans. This cycle repeated so that the smoke lingered at the entrance of the corridor and it was difficult to flow into the lobby.
Upon seeing this, Shuang'er took a deep breath and said, "The smoke has receded, we are safe."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaotian shook his head and said: "This is just a temporary measure. The smoke has not been completely eliminated. As time goes by, more and more smoke will accumulate in the corridor. This method will not work."
Shuang'er asked: "Then... what should we do?"
Chen Xiaotian stared at the end of the corridor and said slowly: "Now we are racing against time. I hope Yan Lai can bring Ma Desheng and others back as soon as possible, otherwise we will inevitably die."
Sure enough, in less than a stick of incense, the smoke at the entrance of the corridor became thicker and thicker. No matter how hard the first and second groups fanned, the smoke always gathered at the entrance and showed no sign of receding.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiaotian hurriedly ordered the two groups to do the same without taking turns. Twenty-four people used their strength at the same time, and finally forced the smoke back again.
Yuan Tian also had a premonition that something was bad and asked: "Old General, the smoke is getting heavier and heavier. What should we do next?"
Chen Xiaotian looked solemn and said: "Now that things have happened, there is only one way."
"Oh?! What can I do? Please tell me, old general."
"wait!"
"Wait? Wait for what?"
"Wait for someone to come rescue us."
Yuan Tian was shocked when he heard that, and asked: "Then... what if no one comes?"
Seeing Chen Xiaotian's silence, Yuan Tian's heart sank, and he thought to himself: "If the smoke cannot be controlled, where should I go to hide?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look to the back of Xuanzheng Hall, where Chen Xiaotian was sitting. Behind the rosewood Taishi chair is a dark green screen. There seems to be a walkway behind the screen. Yin Yanlai disappeared from this direction just now. From this, it seems that there must be an exit to the outside.
With this calculation in mind, when he saw Yuan Ye standing behind him, he turned around quickly and gently pulled Yuan Ye's sleeve. Yuan Ziyi understood the idea, and when Chen Xiaotian wasn't paying attention, the two of them sneaked up and walked slowly towards the back of the hall.
The Yuan brothers bypassed the Taishi's chair and came to see behind the screen. They were disappointed. Behind the screen was just a cold, dark marble wall with no passage or opening.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Ye murmured to himself: "It's strange. The female devil obviously disappeared in this direction. How come there was no exit?"
Yuan Tian said: "There must be a secret door. Look for it quickly."
Yuan Ye nodded, came to the stone wall, and kept stroking it with both hands, trying to find a mechanism or a hole. At this moment, I suddenly heard someone behind me say, "What are you two busy with here?"
The Yuan brothers looked back and saw a handsome young man in white robe standing behind him holding a long sword. Yuan Tian knows that this man is very good at swordsmanship. If his right leg is not injured, he can still fight with him. Now he is definitely no match for him. Even if we two brothers join forces, I'm afraid we won't be able to take advantage. So he smiled and said: "Young hero, don't be nervous, we are just strolling around. This Xuanzangtang is so magnificent, but it is a pity that it will be engulfed by fire soon. If you don't take the time to take a look, you will never want to see it again in this life." I’m afraid such a majestic building will never have a chance.”
Hearing this, Pan Suxuan smiled coldly and said: "You two are so elegant! Now that the smoke is billowing in the hall and the fire is blazing outside, you two are still in the mood to go around and watch? If you have the energy, I think it's better to go and help out in front. Brothers, if the smoke really pours in, we will all be doomed."
Yuan Tian nodded and said: "What the young hero said is absolutely true. Brother, you go and help a group of old generals first, I will be there soon."
When Yuan Ye heard this, he already understood what Yuan Tian meant. He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Pan Suxuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Young... Young hero, you are right, I will go with you, let's go. ." After saying that, he pulled Pan Suxuan and walked forward.
Seeing this, Pan Suxuan flipped his left hand and grabbed Yuan Ye's pulse. With a little force, Yuan Ye immediately felt numb all over and said in a trembling voice: "You... what are you going to do?"
Pan Suxuan smiled slightly and said: "Don't you want to go with me? The situation ahead is urgent. I'm afraid you will waste time elsewhere. Come, I will take you with me."
Yuan Tian's original intention was to let Yuan Ye hold Pan Suxuan back and buy some time so that he could take this opportunity to find the location of the secret door. Unexpectedly, Pan Suxuan saw through his plan at a glance and took Yuan Ye into his hands. In this way, he would inevitably be led by his nose. He couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed, but he was helpless.
Pan Suxuan took the Yuan brothers back to the hall and saw Chen Xiaotian frowning, staring at the thick smoke at the entrance of the corridor. The thick smoke was filled with bursts of fire, rolling and steaming, rushing into the hall.
Although the six groups of people turned the big fans in their hands desperately, facing the thick smoke that covered the sky, it was only a drop in the bucket and there was nothing left.
Seeing this, Shuang'er asked anxiously: "Master, the smoke is getting thicker and thicker. I... we might as well retreat..."
Before Shuang'er could finish speaking, Chen Xiaotian waved his hand and said seriously: "No need to say more, the matter has come to this, we have no way to retreat!"
Shuang'er was stunned and continued: "Master, why don't you take us out together? It's better than being trapped here by the fire and waiting to die."
Chen Xiaotian glanced at Shuang'er and thought to himself: "Shuang'er is still young, but it is human nature to love life and fear death, so we can't blame her."
Unexpectedly, Shuang'er's next words were far beyond Chen Xiaotian's expectations. "Master, if you feel that there are too many of us to protect them all, Shuang'er wants to ask you one thing. Please agree to it!"
When Chen Xiaotian heard this, he frowned and thought to himself: "Shuang'er has never asked me for any favors in the more than ten years since she has been in the government. Now that we are facing a great crisis, how can she make a request at this time?" Although he thought so in his heart, he also thought He nodded and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Shuang'er hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Shuang'er, please ensure the safety of Pan Shaoxia!"
