"Where did this stick come from?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhang Tian's eyes, and then he asked indifferently.
"I picked it up over there. It seems to have popped out of a stone statue."
"Uncle, I feel it's hot, so I brought it over."
The child looked at Zhang Tian and told him the origin of the stick truthfully.
Zhang Tian held the stick and looked at it for a long time.
"It should be that horsetail whisk. I didn't expect to find half of it here."
"Now the horsetail whisk has a stick and white hair. What else is missing?"
Zhang Tian thought to himself, his gaze fixed on the stick itself.
The stick was engraved with special patterns, looking extremely mysterious.
At the same time, a faint fragrance emanated from around the patterns.
"Boss, can it be repaired?"
Hu Bayi asked softly.
"No, it seems to be missing something."
Zhang Tian shook his head. He had just tried, and the two could not be connected. Obviously, something crucial was missing.
"What could that be?"
Zhang Tian murmured, but he quickly put these thoughts aside for the moment.
Because the little ones in front of them had eaten and drunk their fill and were ready to move on!
"Taro, organize everyone. We're going to attack Xu Fu."
Zhang Tian said to Taro, whose small head nodded like a sparrow.
Taro then began to organize.
Soon, a group of little ghosts followed Zhang Tian and the others towards the previous alchemy room.
"Young Master Zhang, why do I feel so strange? Am I going crazy, or is this world going crazy? It feels like there are many people around."
Wu Tianzhen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
There was no way around it; this feeling was too strange.
It was as if hundreds of people were following them.
"Don't think too much. Thinking too much will really drive you crazy."
Zhang Tian patted Wu Tianzhen on the shoulder.
This was the core of the team, a genius at blowing up tombs. Zhang Tian did not want this guy to go mad.
"Tianzhen, the place you chose to plant the bombs is quite conspicuous."
Wang Banyue looked at the bombs planted on the surrounding walls and couldn't help but complain.
"There's no one here anyway, so I just put them anywhere."
Wu Tianzhen waved his hand, not paying much attention.
Soon, Zhang Tian and the others followed the passage and arrived at the previous alchemy room again.
"Something's wrong. It feels like someone has been here."
As soon as Zhang Tian arrived at the alchemy room, his brow furrowed.
In the entire alchemy room, there was a scent that ordinary people could not sense.
"Young Master Zhang, you're too sensitive. There are no signs of disturbance around."
Wu Tianzhen looked around; it was the same as before.
"No, look here."
Zhang Tian said, and as he swept his hand across the ground, a golden light appeared, revealing several footprints.
"This is..."
Everyone was startled, surprised that someone had beaten them to it!
"Damn it! Boss, what the hell is going on? Fatty will go deal with them!"
Fatty cursed and wanted to go into the cave.
"Don't rush. Being able to do it so covertly and without me noticing clearly means the other party is not to be trifled with."
"Also, it's clearly not just one person. We should be cautious and watch their performance first."
Zhang Tian waved his hand, speaking calmly.
"Watch a performance?"
Hu Bayi and Zhang Qilin exchanged glances, a hint of confusion in their eyes.
"Let's go in. Don't alert them."
"Taro, lead your brothers and sisters, and be careful."
Zhang Tian instructed, and they quietly headed down.
The passage was not large, in fact, it was quite narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass.
Zhang Tian and the others walked slowly side by side.
The entire passage continued to descend, and the deeper they went, the colder Zhang Tian felt.
"Boss, who do you think these guys who beat us to it are?"
"And have they discovered us?"
Fatty asked, swinging his shovel, blinking his eyes.
"As for who they are, I don't know yet. As for whether they've discovered us, I doubt it. By the way, where's Xiao Bie?"
Zhang Tian suddenly thought of something.
He seemed to have forgotten about Xiao Bie.
Xiao Bie had gone to eat by himself earlier, while Zhang Tian and the others were studying the tomb.
Now, Xiao Bie seemed to be missing.
"I don't know. Brother Turtle should be fine. After all, Brother Turtle can wag his tail, and we would have heard the sound."
Fatty shook his head and then comforted him.
Zhang Tian nodded. If Xiao Bie were in trouble, he would definitely shake his bell. Since there was no sound, it meant Xiao Bie was safe for now.
Zhang Tian's eyes looked ahead, a faint golden light flashing in them.
The darkness around them was greatly reduced.
Zhang Tian could at least see the path under his feet.
"To avoid alerting them, let's not turn on the lights for now. Everyone be careful."
Zhang Tian reminded them.
Wu Tianzhen and the other walked at the very back, holding hands, their palms sweating.
"Tianzhen, Brother Fatty swears that Brother Fatty hates small, dark crevices the most."
Wang Banyue's teeth chattered.
"Fatty, have some backbone. We are masters now. As soon as we get out of here, we'll be unparalleled experts."
Wu Tianzhen tightened his grip on Wang Banyue's hand.
These two had the air of two unfortunate companions.
After walking for nearly ten minutes, the narrow tomb passage widened considerably.
At the same time, it stopped descending and continued straight ahead.
"This is a side chamber, a hidden passage. I didn't expect us to find it."
"The tomb owner probably died never imagining that you, Boss, would find this passage within the mechanisms."
Hu Bayi looked at the surroundings and immediately identified the passage.
"Ahead, there's killing intent."
Zhang Qilin's ears twitched slightly, as if he had heard something.
"It seems they are up ahead."
Zhang Tian said, looking into the endless darkness. The entire tomb passage had no end in sight, and there was only darkness around.
It was like a gate to hell.
"Young Master Zhang, this is making me feel so oppressed."
Wu Tianzhen reached out, unable to see his own fingers.
"Big brother, don't worry. I sense a familiar aura."
Suddenly, Taro's voice came from behind.
Wu Tianzhen and the other two jumped in fright. This sudden scare was much more intense than a haunted house.
"It seems we've directly arrived at the main tomb chamber, the Azure Dragon Chamber."
Zhang Tian's lips curled up. Was he finally going to meet the legendary figure?
What surprise would that person bring him?
"What? We're almost there? I still have tens of kilograms of explosives here. I'll plant them first."
Wu Tianzhen quickly placed everything from his backpack around, afraid of being late.
Zhang Tian said nothing but continued to lead them forward.
After walking for a moment in the dark passage, the sound of a fight reached their ears.
"These are the things of the Celestial Master. You have no right to take them!"
"Ghost Candle, you've been in power long enough. This time, you should step down."
"The Eight Trigram Mirror of the Celestial Master level. These belong only to us!"
Voices echoed.
Zhang Tian and Hu Bayi exchanged glances.
"Onmyoji!"
They both spoke at almost the same time, shock filling their eyes.
How could they be here!
