Chapter 258: Fighting Together
Everyone gathered in the hall, listening to the sound of "crackling" and popping outside, and all remained silent. Everyone knew in their hearts that with such a fierce fire, even a majestic and sturdy building like the Xuanzheng Hall might not last long, and it was only a matter of time before it collapsed. The only hope now is that during this time, Yin Yanlai can find Ma Desheng, and Ma Desheng can lead people to break through this raging fire and rescue them from this "steamer" safely.
In the silence, there was a loud bang, followed by a wave of heat. Chen Xiaotian was startled, and he didn't know what was going on, only to see the black-clothed people who were standing at the entrance of the Yongdao Road crowded towards the center of the hall.
Shuang'er was standing beside Chen Xiaotian at this time, and when he saw this, he jumped onto a table of eight immortals in front of him, and stood on tiptoe to look at the corridor. I saw a faint smoke faintly appear at the end of the long corridor, don't look at the speed of this smoke drifting very slowly, but the color is from light to dark, more and more dense, in an instant, has become a large black smoke, slowly approaching the hall.
Seeing this, Shuang'er hurriedly jumped off the table and said loudly to Chen Xiaotian: "Master, it's not good!
After hearing this, Chen Xiaotian said with a solemn face: "Presumably the door fell, so the smoke came in." ”
Shuang'er was surprised: "This ...... How...... As far as the slave maid knows, the main gate of the Xuanzheng Hall is made of iron, and ordinary swords are difficult to shake at all, and even General Ma's big axe, which weighs about 100 catties, only leaves a white mark, how could such an indestructible gate be burned down in such a short period of time?"
Chen Xiaotian said: "There should be no problem with the door, but the pillars next to the door and the surrounding door frames are all wood products. This is the answer to that sentence, if the skin is not attached, the hair will survive?"
Shuang'er asked anxiously, "What about ...... What should I do? The slave saw that the smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and was constantly approaching the lobby. ”
Chen Xiaotian's thick eyebrows were furrowed, he was silent, and after a while, he suddenly said to Yuan Tian: "Yuan Daxia, now that the disaster is in place, we need to work together to tide over the difficulties together." ”
Yuan Tian also realized the seriousness of the situation, nodded and said: "That's right, what the old general said is extremely true, if there is anything you command." ”
Chen Xiaotian said: "Okay, Yuan Daxia really has everyone's demeanor. I'm sure you heard the loud bang just now, it was the sound of the collapse of the main gate of the Xuanzheng Hall, and now that the door has been broken, a large amount of smoke will pour in, and I am afraid that we will all die here. ”
Yuan Tian was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Does the general have a way to crack it?"
Chen Xiaotian said: "There is no way to crack it, at most it can only suspend the influx of smoke." And this method requires Yuan Daxia and others to help the old man. ”
When Yuan Tian heard this, he immediately said: "No problem, everything is arranged by the old general." ”
Chen Xiaotian nodded and said, "This is very good, please General Yuan divide his brothers into two groups, one group of people will go to fetch the candles in the hall, and the other group will remove the cloth on the table and spread it on the ground." ”
Yuan Tian was puzzled: "Old general, what do you mean?!"
Chen Xiaotian said: "Yuan Daxia doesn't need to ask more, he can know in a while." ”
Yuan Tian nodded and turned around to arrange manpower. In a short time, the floor was filled with the same cloths that everyone had used to eat. Chen's food and clothing have always been very particular, although it is a tablecloth used to cushion the table, it is also made of the best cotton and linen cloth in Chai Ji Cloth Village, and the texture is soft and thick. Each cloth is three feet three wide and four feet four long.
Chen Xiaotian invited the old man of the Apocalypse this time, and prepared a total of fifty guest seats, two tables of chairmen, each guest seat was covered with two front and back cloths, and the chairman was four, adding up to a total of one hundred and eight.
Chen Xiaotian ordered Yuan Tian and the others to divide the one hundred and eight pieces of cloth into six equal parts, and put each thirty-six pieces together. He also had the candle tilted slowly, so that the wax oil dripped onto the cloth. Everyone worked together, there was not much time, and the surface of each tablecloth was covered with wax oil.
Shuang'er saw that such a beautiful meal cloth was ruined like this, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful in her heart, because these fabrics were selected by her and Wang Rong in person to Chai Ji Cloth Village. I don't know how Sister Wang will feel when she sees the scene in front of her?
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Chen Xiaotian say to himself: "Shuang'er, you go to the inner hall to get the needle and thread." Remember, pick some thick needles, and the thicker the thread, the better. ”
Shuang'er didn't know why, so he walked into the inner hall in a daze, and after a while, he took out a large bundle of threads and more than ten silver needles. Chen Xiaotian asked people to take it and said to Yuan Tian: "Let's all work together and quickly sew these dinner cloths together." ”
Yuan Tian asked, "The old general is going to ...... Do...... Do you want to make fans?"
Chen Xiaotian nodded and said, "That's right, let's use these six big fans to block the smoke." ”
Yuan Tian was overjoyed and immediately commanded the man in black to sew the tablecloth. Chen Xiaotian turned to Pan Suxuan again and said, "Pan Shaoxia, your swordsmanship is superb, and the fan bones of these six fans have to make you worry more." ”
Pan Suxuan hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Although the old general commands, Pan must do his best." ”
Chen Xiaotian said: "Please use local materials, use a long sword to sharpen eighteen long sticks, one hundred and eight short sticks, and then prepare thirty-six wooden sticks of moderate length, and sharpen the front end of each stick so that it can penetrate these tablecloths." ”
Pan Suxuan nodded in agreement, drew out his long sword, and with a slight wave, split a table of eight immortals in front of him in half, and then shook his wrist three times in a row, and half of the table became three wooden sticks of different lengths.
Most of the tables and chairs in Chen's mansion are made of rosewood, rosewood and other mahogany, the wood is hard, and it is not easy to cut, but Pan Suxuan uses internal strength every time he goes down with his sword, so although these tables and chairs are solid, they are like chopping melons and vegetables in front of Pan Suxuan.
There were also many swordsmanship masters among the men in black, and when they saw Pan Suxuan doing this, they also pulled out their swords one after another, cut off the tables and chairs in front of them, and cut them into wooden sticks.
In an instant, the one hundred and sixty-two sticks were ready. Pan Suxuan and others cut out ten more wooden sticks of each length as a backup.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaotian said loudly: "Everyone work together, put a short stick in the middle of each tablecloth, every thirty-six pieces of tablecloth is a large fan, and three long sticks are inserted into the middle and two sides of each fan as the skeleton of the fan bone, and then six medium-length wooden sticks are used to cross the fan surface horizontally for reinforcement. After all the installation is completed, don't be in a hurry to stand up the fan, spread it flat on the ground with your feet, and then make plans. ”
