Chapter 401: Crisis Temporarily Resolved
Hong Lan and Wu You opened their eyes at the same time. The crisis of the evil spirit puppet was resolved, but the crisis of tomb collapse came quietly.
The speed at which the sand and gravel fell was getting faster and faster. In less than five minutes, it had reached the calves of the three people.
Wuyou stood up and ran towards the door of the main tomb chamber, groping around, hoping to find a mechanism to raise and lower the stone door.
Just now, because they had to deal with the ferocious evil spirit puppets and the army of bones, in order to prevent these things from escaping, the three of them ignored the fallen stone door. If they could not solve these things in a short time, they also wanted to use the tomb to temporarily trap the evil spirits here.
Now they have dealt with the evil spirit puppet, but the stone door cannot be opened, and the entire tomb shows signs of being buried again.
"Let me give it a try."
Lianyi stepped on the fallen sand and gravel and walked towards the place where the stone gate fell. Honglan dragged Guo Zizheng's calf with disgust and moved quickly towards the door. In her opinion, if Lianyi said "give it a try", the success rate was 70%, so she was not worried at all that she would be trapped here.
The red ribbon automatically wrapped around Lianyi's right hand, providing protection for its owner.
After Lianyi stood in front of the stone gate, he clenched his right fist and hit the center of the stone gate hard. With a loud "bang", a crack appeared in the middle of the stone gate.
Lianyi used 50% of her strength, and when she saw a crack, she punched again, this time using 60% of her strength. The stone door broke even faster. When she punched for the third time, the stone door was completely shattered, and the sand and gravel in the main tomb chamber rushed into the side tomb chamber.
"Walk!"
Lianyi was the first to get out. Wuyou helped Honglan drag out Guo Zizheng and also left the main tomb chamber.
"Let's get out of here quickly. The side tomb chamber is also beginning to collapse."
Lianyi looked up at the ceiling of the tomb, where spider-web-like cracks had appeared. There must be a linkage device here.
"Exit through the previous hole."
Wuyou said immediately.
Lian Yi also carried out the unconscious Liang Gang and the dead Guo Huai.
When the three of them ran out of the cave entrance covered in dust and dirt, they heard a loud "bang" and half of the ground halfway up the mountain collapsed.
Wu Yong and Zhang Zhang came up anxiously, took over the burdens from the three men, and then quickly ran to the foot of the mountain.
"No need to run, the tomb has been buried and will not collapse again."
Lianyi was also a little exhausted at this time, and waved her hand to tell everyone not to panic.
Wu Yong and Zhang Zhang then stopped and looked back to find that the three masters were all covered in dust, especially Hong Lan and Lian Yi, who had dirt all over their faces. Wu You had no hair and was better off than the other two.
"Armed police officer, have your people send these three people back. They are the ones behind your disappearance."
At this time, the two warlocks who were trapped before also came over and respectfully thanked Lianyi and the other two:
"Thank you all for your help. We have already notified the Warlock Association and they will send someone over to handle the follow-up matters."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
The three of them were really tired of dealing with all this, so after completing the handover, they went home.
Shortly after the three of them left, the Warlock Association, the Public Security Bureau, and the Cultural Relics Bureau all sent people to the scene to review the incident of using the tomb to set up an evil array, luring public officials in, and threatening the warlock.
Guo Huai was already dead when he was brought out. The initial judgment was that he failed in the fight and the evil magic backfired. Liang Gang was directly admitted to the ICU and ended up with hemiplegia. He couldn't even speak clearly and would have to lie in bed for the rest of his life.
Guo Zizheng woke up nine days later. Although his life was saved, he was a little dazed due to excessive blood loss. When he learned that his father Guo Huai had died and that he would be sanctioned by the Warlock Association, he became more and more depressed.
Lianyi fulfilled her promise and gave the auspicious cloud chalcedony to Monk Wuyou as a reward, and also gave Honglan a pair of earrings made of spiritual marrow. Although the style was the most ordinary, it still won Honglan's favor.
Hong Lian had a discerning eye and knew that this was a good thing, so she gladly accepted it and gave Lian Yi a blood jade bead in return.
"Don't underestimate this little bead. When your life is at stake, swallowing this bead will give you a chance to break out of your cocoon and become a butterfly. It will give you a second chance to live. You must keep it well!"
Hong Lian explained with a smile.
"Of course I have to collect this kind of good stuff, and I've already seen it!"
Lianyi directly put the bead into the space. She decided to take the blood jade bead away after completing this mission.
"I knew you knew what you were talking about."
Hong Lan has already put on the chalcedony earrings and was admiring them happily in the mirror. She could feel a warm power slowly seeping into her body and she liked this gift more and more.
Lianyi and the other two completed the mission very well and were praised by the Warlock Association and given certain rewards. The three of them even got together to celebrate.
Lianyi calculated that this mission was worthwhile as she had eliminated the biggest potential threat, Yu Meili, and nipped the source of evil in the bud while the other party was weak.
Since then, Lianyi has been living a leisurely life. When she is bored, she takes a few tasks, travels around the country, and then stays in the sea view villa for a while to meet with old friends.
During this period, she also attended the engagement ceremony of Hong Lian and Zhang Zhang. After three years of flirting, the two finally confirmed their relationship, so Lian Yi naturally had to send her blessings.
"Hong Lian, are you opening your bloody mouth so quickly to swallow our little officer Zhang into your stomach?"
"You make me sound like a big bad wolf."
She pursed her rosy lips into a reserved smile.
"Tsk tsk, stop pretending to be a lady. It looks awkward no matter how you look at it."
"Hey! Aren't both of our little rabbit's parents here? I have to pretend. Fortunately, I can only pretend for a few days. If it takes longer, I will definitely be exposed."
Hong Lian replied with a smirk.
"You will be taken soon, so stop being so ostentatious. We are warlocks, with advantages and disadvantages. Don't make too many enemies."
Lianyi lowered her voice and reminded him.
"I know that since I have chosen him, I must live a good life."
This time, Hong Lian answered sincerely.
"Okay, I wish you happiness and protect your little rabbit!"
Lianyi blinked, then raised her wine glass and clinked it with Honglan's.
On the other side, Zhang Zhang was pushed by several cousins to come to Lian Yi and introduced the two parties to each other in a very awkward manner.
Lian Yi glanced at the men who were eager to show off and knew their purpose. She smiled and said:
"Xiao Zhang, congratulations! Fortunately, I can make it to your engagement ceremony. I will be leaving the country the day after tomorrow and will not be able to come back in a short time. I am afraid that I will not be able to make it to your wedding."
"It's okay. Sister Hong Lian and I know you're busy. We've already received the gift. Thank you!"
Zhang Zhang's thanks were sincere. He was the only one who escaped the evil spirit during that mission that nearly cost lives, thanks to the Jade Guanyin amulet. The other colleagues who took part in the operation that day, including Brother Wu Yong, had to take a leave for a while before they fully recovered. This was because the Warlock Association helped them clear the evil spirits from their bodies, otherwise they would have had to stay in bed for at least a year.
See you tomorrow~
