"It's dry, please calm down!"
She also knew that it was just a drop in the bucket, but now it was a critical moment of life and death, and every moment of delay was a good one.
A full bucket of liquid was poured all over Chen Shi'an from head to toe without a drop falling, bringing with it a pungent smell. Before she could react, a huge heat wave erupted from the front, knocking her to the ground.
There was a buzzing sound in his ears, and Xiao Nanhui staggered to his feet. He saw that Shen Shi'an was covered in blue flames. His figure was distorted by the high temperature. His old and sharp voice was roaring and cursing in the firelight, and the words were almost indistinguishable.
"Stinky bitch, stinky bitch! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you..."
It turned out that the black liquid was not pond water, but a kind of black clear oil.
The oil was stained with sparks, and instantly had an inextinguishable force, not only swallowing up Shen Shian, but also sucking in Shen Yangyang who had been stained with the 'pool water' earlier.
After being a 'god' for too long, one would forget what it was like to be a 'human'. God had given him the ability to manipulate fire, but he had not given him a body that was invulnerable to fire or water.
The old woman who was knocked down not far away rushed towards Chen Shi'an like a madman, trying to stop this self-immolation, but the human figure gradually turned black.
"I am but a mortal, why should I bother about serving God?"
Xiao Nanhui quietly looked at Chen Shi'an's swaying figure, and the blurry faces of the killers seemed to flash before his eyes.
That's basically what karma is.
However, she soon realized that even Shen Shi'an's death wouldn't resolve this dire situation. The fire had raged out of control, transforming the entire cave floor into a sea of inferno. The flames rapidly consumed the surrounding air, and Xiao Nanhui felt her throat dry, her breathing difficult, and her eyelids growing heavy.
Even if she and Ding Weixiang had the martial arts attainments of Dugu Tianxia, they were no different from roasted chickens now that they were trapped in this earthen kiln-like cave.
We can't delay any longer. If we delay any further, we will die.
Must find a way out.
A slightly cool hand gently stroked her cheek, and the man's voice seemed to fall into her ears with a cool feeling.
"Don't be afraid. This stone door has a lock. Donate blood to open it."
Yes, she finally remembered where she had seen such a device. When he entrusted the secret seal to her for safekeeping, she had seen similar tattoos on the box containing the jade seal.
But she had witnessed Zou Sifang's fate with her own eyes. Furthermore, the principle of drawing blood with a short needle seemed to have another hidden layer of information, otherwise the secret seal would have been opened long ago after Zou Sifang donated blood.
She was struggling with her unresolved thoughts when suddenly, a piece of sleeve flashed before her eyes and she saw his palm firmly embedded in the stone wall.
She was stunned for a moment before she frantically pulled his hand out. His bloody fingers slid across her palm, leaving a dark red mark.
"W-What are you doing?!"
Compared to her, his expression was far too nonchalant. He didn't even care about the wound on his hand. Instead, he took her hand and wiped the blood off her palm with his sleeve.
"I mentioned earlier that I had a hypothesis that I hadn't had time to verify. Now the opportunity has arrived, and it's time to go all out."
There was a moment of stagnation in the air, and then a dull sound came from deep in the stone wall. The earth shook and the scene in front of him began to shake violently.
Xiao Nanhui steadied himself and looked up in disbelief. The huge stone door actually slowly opened, revealing a dark secret passage.
Behind them, Chen Shi'an's figure had fallen into the black pool. A huge heat wave exploded from the center of the sarcophagus. The scattered rubble and the sky-high flames quickly attacked the three of them. Xiao Nanhui and Ding Weixiang had no time to find out the situation in the stone door. They only had time to pull Su Wei up and fell in.
The raging flames whizzed past the three people's heads, poured into the stone gate for several feet, and finally dissipated, turning into a puff of black smoke. The three people almost rolled and crawled into the stone gate.
******************
In the stele corridor behind the side hall of Yongye Temple, two young monks were carrying a large wooden basin, one on the left and the other on the right, and moving towards the Sutra Library in the backyard like two crabs tied together.
The treasure umbrella was tall and the bottle was short, so the wooden basin could not be kept level. Neither of them was willing to give in, so they walked all the way to the Sutra Library in this crooked manner. By the time they stepped into the hall, most of the water in the basin had spilled.
"Master, the water is coming!"
The wooden basin fell to the ground with a bang, and the flying water droplets mixed with mud spots landed on Hao Bai's raised buttocks.
He was fanning the fire and refining medicine with half a scroll of scriptures in his hand, completely unaware that his clothes had been damaged. He stood up when he heard the sound, turned around, and pointed at the pillar deep in the hall.
"Over there."
Baoshan obviously didn't like this pretentious doctor who kept shouting for chicken every day. When he passed by with the basin in his hand, he left a few mud spots on the doctor's body before going to the back of the palace.
The two men put down the wooden basin and stared at the man tied to the pillar with some curiosity. Yikong suddenly appeared behind them and hit the two men's bald heads hard with the demon-subduing pestle in his hand.
"He's so clumsy and procrastinating, and now he's looking around." He paused and asked calmly, "Is Candle Fish back?"
Baoshan and Ping'er shook their heads, and felt a severe headache again, and could not help but raise their hands to touch it.
"Master, why don't you let us go down the mountain to look for it? We are all idle in the hall anyway..."
Yikong raised his hand and touched the bald heads of the two men.
"He probably forgot to add oil to his lamp, and the light went out on the way back. He walked slowly in the dark. If you go looking for him, he'll lose face. Go back to the main hall and tell everyone it's time to go to bed."
