I remembered Kong Xue's injury, so I walked over, squatted down and looked at her calf, "How is it, does your injury still hurt?" ”

Kong Xue took a sip of water, shook her head, pulled up her trousers, revealing a white jade-like calf, "Look, it's no longer bleeding!" ”

I half-squatted, put her ankle on my lap, and then shone it with a flashlight, the wound on Kong Xue's calf was indeed no longer bleeding, but there was some redness around the crack, obviously some inflammation.

"I'll help you get some medicine! If the infection is severe, it will be troublesome! With that, I got up and went to my backpack to find disinfectants and anti-inflammatories.

As soon as I looked up and found that Lantern Xiao was looking at me with a playful face, I was stunned for a moment and glared at him, "Your kid's head is caught by a face beetle?" ”

The Lantern Festival God mysteriously came over, "Hey! Since when? ”

I was at a loss, "What did it start when?" ”

Lantern Xiao poked me with her elbow, "Don't pretend, how did you get that little aunt and grandmother?" ”

Only then did I realize that he was referring to me and Kong Xue, so I smiled and continued to look for medicine, ignoring him.

Lantern Xiao said to herself: "As far as this eldest lady's temper is concerned, to be honest, I was afraid of her before, but I didn't expect to be given by your kid...... Hey, what the hell are you going to have Ecstasy? ”

I looked at the Lantern Festival and left a sentence, "Personality charm!" Then he turned around and drugged Kong Xue. Leaving Lantern Xiao there by himself, this kid could only let out, "Damn!" ”

Shi Tao and a few of Lantern Xiao's subordinates went to the front to explore the way, and the rest of the people took a break to recover.

Lantern Xiao, Kong Xue and I sat together and exchanged their respective situations.

Lantern Xiao told us that after they entered the royal city from the blood sand basin, they went through several rounds before they passed through many mechanisms, and the experience during the period was also very strange, and they were even attacked by a group of grimace monsters, and finally they arrived at the ancient battlefield like us, and also found the two giant gates.

The rest of the route was similar to ours, except that when they entered the passage with the faces carved on the wall, they were all told that they had to turn off their flashlights and follow the people in front of them in the dark. Despite this, although the water flowed smoothly at first, it was eventually attacked by the squid in the water, and one of the men in the team was swallowed by the squirt.

Hearing this, I was very surprised and emotional, "The news of your Tang family is really comprehensive enough, how did you get this information?" Could it be that they were all from the two statues of horses and snakes? ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, but soon shook her head again, I was stunned for a moment, and said What do you mean by this? Is it or not?

Lantern Xiao told us that they did get a lot of valuable information from the two statues of horses and snakes, but most of the planning of these routes and the avoidance of many dangers came from a master invited by his father.

"Superior?" My first reaction was that the Tang family was not acting alone this time, and this so-called master was likely to be the other three families of the four major families, so who would be this person who secretly cooperated with the Tang family?

Now I have also been in contact with the inverted bucket circle for a while, and I have learned a lot about the things, and thanks to the second uncle and the Lantern Festival, I have also had a certain amount of contact with the four major families in the inverted bucket industry, including Yuan An of the Yuan family who went to the island tomb with us, and the head of the Nie family I met at the Rongchang Pavilion auction - Nie Zhenyun, not to mention the Tang family where the Lantern Festival is located. The only thing I don't understand is the Tan family in Sichuan, could it be that there are people from the Tan family behind this operation?

However, thinking about what happened to the Tan family here twenty years ago, the possibility of the Tan family intervening in this operation is indeed very high.

I asked Lantern Xiao, "Do you know what that so-called master is?" ”

Lantern Xiao scratched her head blankly, and I then asked, "Could it be the four major families, the Tan family?" ”

This time Lantern Xiao shook his head very firmly, "No, no, my dad is very careful in this action, and he is afraid of leaking the news, in order to avoid the intervention of people from other families, otherwise it will be very troublesome once the news spreads, and then the situation will not be under the control of our Tang family, this ......" Lantern Xiao said this, paused, and said a little embarrassed: "This, this is also one of the reasons why my father wanted to stop you and attack you when he was in Beijing." ”

I nodded, but didn't speak, for fear that Lantern Xiao wouldn't be able to hang on his face. Kong Xue next to her didn't care about this, and glanced at Lantern Xiao fiercely, "There is still a face to say!" "It's not embarrassing to get the Lantern Festival.

I coughed dryly and said, "Well, this, Lantern Festival, you don't know the identity of this master at all?" ”

Lantern Xiao shook her head again, "I really don't know, but," as she spoke, Lan Xiao glanced at Wen Mo, who was sitting not far away with his eyes closed, "I heard that this person, like Boss Wen Mo, is a very powerful 'scattered immortal' in the circle!" And I've seen this man, but I've noticed that his facial expression is very stiff and unnatural, and I suspect he's wearing a delicate mask! ”

Lantern Festival's words surprised me, "It's so mysterious!" "I couldn't help but be very curious about the real identity of this person.

Then, Lantern Xiao told us that because a few of the men sent out to explore the road were killed by human face beetles, they had to make a detour from the Dark River instead. Until they met Kong Xue and Shi Tao.

I suddenly remembered something, looked at Lantern Xiao, and said, "Lantern Festival, there are some things, I have to say, if your father knew that we were also coming, would he attack us again?" ”

Lantern Xiao's expression suddenly became very serious, "Zhuo Ran, don't worry, I still say the same thing, no one in the Tang family will harm you again this time, including my father, unless I die!" And," Lantern Xiao whispered, "My dad didn't know you were coming. ”

As soon as Lantern Xiao said this, I didn't understand, Lantern Xiao brought someone to follow Kong Xue to save us, how could Tang Zhidong not know, if he knew, with his old Jianghu brainpower, how could he not think that the person who was rescued was me.

I looked at Kong Xue and then at Lantern Xiao, "That's weird, how did you two meet?" ”

Hearing me ask, Lan Xiao and Kong Xue both frowned, Yuan Xiao thought for a while, and said, "You ask like this, it's really a little strange that the two of us can meet." At that time, I was naked with first responders, and I didn't think about it so much, but now it's quite strange to think about it. ”

Lantern Xiao told me that soon after the Tang family's team entered the dark river, they heard a gunshot, and Lantern Xiao thought that it was sent by the brother who went to explore the road just now, so he felt that those people might not be dead, so he planned to go back to the rescue, but Tang Zhidong disagreed, so the father and son quarreled a few words, so Lantern Xiao was angry, and took his people to find a road that was the same as the river, and returned to the inside of the royal tomb.

But the passages here are intricate, far more complex than they think. Lantern Xiao led people around and quickly lost their way, and just when they had nothing to do, they suddenly found that in the darkness not far away, a figure flashed. Lantern Xiao hurriedly led people to chase after him, but he didn't expect to meet Kong Xue and Shi Tao after chasing him.

Lantern Festival's statement surprised me very much, and I looked at Kong Xue again, "Xiaoxue, how did you meet Lantern Festival?" ”

Kong Xue recalled a little and said: "At that time, I also heard a gunshot, we thought at the time, there is a gunshot, there are people, Brother Tao and I were dying in a hurry, I couldn't care about much, so we followed the gunfire to find it, but the gunfire didn't sound again, and we lost the direction of searching, just when we were looking around, we met them during the Lantern Festival." ”

"Did you see any shadows?" I asked Kong Xue. Kong Xue shook her head.

In this way, it is indeed as Lan Xiao said, his father Tang Zhidong really didn't know that we were also here, because Yuan Xiao and his father were also separated.

The development of events was completely unexpected by me, and I cannot guess what happened behind the scenes.

And, crucially, I believe that the dark shadow that Lantern Xiao said exists, because I have also seen it. What the hell is that dark shadow? Is there something in this royal tomb? Or is it one of us?

Thinking of this, I suddenly had a person in my mind, and that was my second uncle! But I think it's unlikely, there's no reason for him to do that? Why did he hide in the shadows and not show up? I couldn't help but shake my head, I can't verify this kind of random speculation, but thinking of the second uncle, it still makes me a little worried, I haven't found him so far, I don't know where he is!

At this moment, Shi Tao and a few of them came back, Shi Tao told us that not far ahead, there were some things, and there was a somewhat strange door, they didn't dare to act rashly, so they came back and called us to go over and have a look.

So, all of us packed our gear and set off again, walking towards the location they had said.

Our location should be a relatively large hall, this kind of hall is also more common in the ancient tombs, it generally plays two roles, the first is the transportation hub, if the two tombs cross, their intersection, there will be a hall. Of course, this usually happens on the periphery of the tomb or at a distance from the main burial chamber, because if it is close to the center of the mausoleum, there is usually only one main burial road.

Speaking of the main cemetery, it is not the main cemetery that is directly opposite the tomb door as soon as you enter the tomb is wrong. According to the habits of the ancients, in the ancient tombs, especially in the large mausoleums, after the sacrifice to the Hades Temple, the passage between the main tomb is the main tomb in the true sense.
