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

Kong Xue took a sip of water, shook her head, pulled up her trouser legs, revealing a piece of her white jade-like calf, "Look, she's no longer bleeding!"

I half-squatted down, carried her ankle on my legs, and then illuminated it with a flashlight. The wound on Kong Xue's calves was indeed no longer bleeding, but the surroundings of the rupture were red, and it was obviously a little inflamed.

"I'll help you with some medicine! If the infection is serious, it will be troublesome!" As I said that, I got up and went to my backpack to find disinfectants and anti-inflammatory drugs.

When I looked up, I found that Yuanxiao was looking at me with a joke on her face. I was stunned for a moment and glared at him, "You guy's head is made to have a beetle clamp on your face?"

The Lantern Festival God came over mysteriously, "Hey! When did it start?"

I looked confused, "When did it start?"

Yuanxiao poked me with his elbow, "Stop pretending, how did you deal with that little aunt?"

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

Yuanxiao said to herself: "From this young lady's temper, to be honest, I have been afraid of her since I used to be, but I didn't expect to be given to you... Hehe, what kind of ecstasy did you put on?"

I looked at Lanxiao and left a sentence, "Personal Charm!" Then I turned around and put medicine on Kong Xue. Leaving Lanxiao himself there, the kid could only say, "Damn!"

Shi Tao and a few Lantern Festival men went to the front to explore the way, and the rest of them took some rest and recovered.

On Lantern Festival, Kong Xue and I sat together and exchanged their own situations.

Yuanxiao tells us that after entering the royal city from the Blood Sand Basin, they went through many mechanisms after several twists and turns. Their experience during this period was very strange, and they were even attacked by a group of ghost-faced monsters. In the end, they arrived at the ancient battlefield like us and found the two giant doors.

The route afterwards was similar to ours, but when they entered the passage with human faces carved on the wall, they were all told that they had to turn off the flashlight and follow the people in front of them in the dark. Despite this, although it started smoothly when they passed through the water, they were eventually attacked by the crocodile in the water, and a friend in the team was swallowed by the crocodile.

I was very surprised and moved when I heard this, "The news from your Tang family is really comprehensive. How did you get these information? Could it be that they were obtained from the two horses and snake statues?"

Yuanxiao nodded, but soon shook her head again. I was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"

Yuanxiao tells us that they did obtain a lot of valuable information from the two statues of horse-stepped snakes, but the planning of these routes and the avoidance of many dangers came from a master invited by his father.

"Expert?" My first reaction was that the Tang family was not acting alone this time. This so-called expert is likely to be a member of the other three major families among the four major families. So who would be the person who secretly cooperated with the Tang family?

Now I have been in the circle of storm for a while and have learned a lot about it. Thanks to my second uncle and Yuanxiao, I have also had some contact with the four major families in the storm industry, including Yuan An of the Yuan family who went to the island tomb with us, and Nie Zhenyun, the head of the Nie family who met at the Rongchang Pavilion auction. Not to mention the Tang family where Yuanxiao is located. The only one I don’t know is the Tan family in Sichuan. Is there anyone from the Tan family involved in this operation behind this operation?

However, thinking about the experience of Tan Dadang’s family here twenty years ago, it is indeed very likely that the Tan family will intervene in this operation.

I asked Yuanxiao, "Do you know who that so-called master is?"

Yuanxiao scratched her head blankly, and I continued to ask: "Can they be from the four major families and members of the Tan family?"

Yuanxiao shook her head firmly, "No, no, my father was very careful in this action. He was afraid of leaking the news, in order to avoid the intervention of other families. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome once the news was spread. At that time, the situation would not be controlled by our Tang family. This..." Yuanxiao said this and said embarrassedly: "This is also one of the reasons why my father wanted to stop you when he was in Beijing and attack you."

I nodded but didn't say anything, just because I was afraid that Yuanxiao's face would not be able to hold on. Kong Xue next to me ignored this and gave Yuanxiao a fierce look, "I still have the face to say it!" Yuanxiao was so embarrassed.

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

Yuanxiao shook her head again, "I really don't know, but," as she said, Yuanxiao glanced at Wen Mo who was sitting not far away and closed her eyes to rest. "I heard that this person, like Boss Wen Mo, is a very powerful 'sanctified immortal' in the circle! And although I have seen this person, I noticed that his facial expression was very stiff and unnatural, and I suspected that he was wearing a delicate mask!"

The words of Lantern Festival surprised me, "It's so mysterious!" I couldn't help but feel extremely curious about this person's true identity.

Then, Lantern Festival told us that since several guys sent out to explore the way were killed by human-faced beetles, they had to go around from the underground river channel until they met Kong Xue and Shi Tao.

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

Yuanxiao's expression suddenly became very serious, "Zhuoran, don't worry, I still said the same thing. The Tang family will never harm you again this time, including my dad, unless I die! Moreover," Yuanxiao whispered: "My dad doesn't know you are here."

After Yuanxiao said this, I didn’t understand. Yuanxiao brought people to Kong Xue to save us. How could Tang Handong not know? If he knew, with his old martial arts brainpower, how could he have thought that the person who was saved was me?

I looked at Kong Xue, then at Lantern Festival, "That's strange, how did you two meet?"

After hearing what I asked, Yuanxiao and Kong Xue frowned. Yuanxiao thought for a while and said, "You ask this, it's really strange that we can meet. At that time, I was just waiting for a first time, and I didn't think so much about it. Now I think about it. This is quite strange."

Yuanxiao told me that shortly after entering the Dark River channel, the Tang family heard a gunshot. Yuanxiao thought it was sent by the brother who had just gone to explore the way, so he felt that the people might not have died yet, so he planned to go back to rescue, but Tang Handong disagreed. The father and son quarreled for a few words. So Yuanxiao took his men to find a corridor that was the same as the river channel and returned to the inside of the royal tomb.

However, the passage here is complicated, much more complicated than they thought. Yuanxiao and his people quickly lost their direction. Just when they were helpless, they suddenly found that in the darkness not far away, a figure flashed. Yuanxiao hurriedly led people to chase after him, but unexpectedly they encountered Kong Xue and Shi Tao after chasing him.

I was very surprised by the statement of Lantern Festival. 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 that someone would be there when there was a gunshot. Brother Tao and I were almost anxious at that time. We couldn't care much, so we followed the gunshots, but the gunshots did not sound again, and we also lost the direction we were looking for. Just as we were looking around, we met Yuanxiao and the others."

"Then have you seen any black shadows?" I asked Kong Xue. Kong Xue shook her head.

The incident happened like this. In this way, it was indeed as Lantern Festival said. His father Tang Handong really didn't know that we were here, because Lantern Festival and his father were also separated.

The development of the incident was completely beyond my expectations, and I could not speculate on what was happening behind it.

Moreover, the key is that I believe that the black shadow mentioned by Lantern Festival exists because I have seen it. What exactly is that black shadow? Is it something that exists in this royal tomb? Or is it one of us?

Thinking of this, a person suddenly came to my mind, that is my second uncle! But I felt it was unlikely that he had no reason to do this? Why did he hide in the dark and not show up? I couldn't help but shake my head. I couldn't verify this random guess, but when I think of my second uncle, I still worried me a little. I haven't found him yet, and I don't know where he is!

At this moment, Shi Tao and the others who went to explore the way came back. Shi Tao told us that there were some things not far ahead and there was a strange door. They did not dare to act rashly, so they came back and called us to go over and take a look.

So, all of us brought our equipment, set out again, and walked towards the location where Shi Tao and the others said.

Our location should be a larger chamber. This chamber is also common in ancient tombs. It generally plays two roles. The first is the transportation hub. If two tomb passages cross, a chamber will appear at their intersection. Of course, this situation generally occurs on the periphery of the tomb or at a distance from the main tomb chamber, because if it is close to the center of the tomb, there is generally only one main tomb passage.

Speaking of the main tomb passage, it is not the main tomb passage that is opposite to the tomb gate. This idea is wrong. According to the habits of the ancients, in ancient tombs, especially in large tombs, the passage between the underworld hall and the main tomb chamber is the real main tomb passage.
