Yuan Yeyue confessed everything she knew about the Burning Fire Hall, including the maze set up by the four Huang sisters and the secret passages at each entrance and exit. Zhu Yanyin listened and drew at the same time. He was well-read and liked to study mechanisms, so he could easily understand Yuan Yeyue's meaning and rarely made mistakes. But even so, it took him three full days to finish the drawing. His arms were so sore that his hands were shaking when he picked up the teacup.
Jiang Shenglin flipped through the large pile of drawings. Although he didn't understand them very well, he could still sense how complicated they were. Could it be that Chi Tian had spent all the money he had earned from burning, killing and looting for so many years on digging the underground palace of the Fire Palace? Why wasn't he afraid of collapsing the house? He was so cautious. Wouldn't it be safer to just dig a hole in the snow and bury himself there
Zhu Yanyin asked: "Is he trying to protect you?"
Li Sui said: "Yes."
The mechanism is dead, but the formation is alive. Especially the maze around the Burning Fire Hall, as long as you move it a little, the method of breaking the formation will be completely different. Yuan Yeyue said: "He won't change."
Zhu Yanyin asked: "Why?"
"When Huang Ying first set up this maze, there were many flaws. They studied it for a long time before finally coming up with the current formation." Yuan Yeyue said, "Chi Tian is very satisfied with this formation. He once said that even if it is changed by a small inch, the power will be greatly reduced."
And now the team of Wulin Alliance is guarding outside the snowfield with a covetous eye. Unless he has a more perfect formation, he will not change it easily, leaving a maze full of loopholes waiting to be broken by the opponent.
Zhu Yanyin said: "But now you are in the Wulin League."
"He knows. He knows that as long as Ah Xing is still in the Burning Fire Palace, I would rather die than tell anyone." Yuan Yeyue's eyes were filled with desperate hatred again. "He used Ah Xing to trick me into doing things countless times, and even said that he would hand over the Burning Fire Palace to Ah Xing. Just because he was good to Ah Xing, I practiced kung fu with him for four whole years."
Zhu Yanyin glanced at Li Sui.
Li Sui said: "Let's try it first."
Zhu Yanyin still remembered the shocking sword strike that Li Sui used to break the formation on the way to Snow City. Although according to his kung fu, it was not impossible for him to cut through the maze set up by Huang Ying outside the Burning Fire Palace with one sword, he still had to deal with Chi Tian later, and it was not good to consume too much internal energy.
Maybe because he had been with Li Sui for too long, Second Master Zhu had begun to not regard Wulin League as human beings... No, it cannot be said that he did not regard Wulin League as human beings. When making various plans, he had habitually regarded Li Sui as a separate individual. He would not think that Li Sui would break the formation first, and then hundreds of Wulin League members would kill Chi Tian together. But no, this is not good. We still need to unite with helpers from all directions. A saint once said that if you can fight in a group, never fight alone.
Palace Master Li said as he always did: "Whatever plan you choose is up to you."
Zhu Yanyin suggested: "What do you mean by follow me? It's very stressful."
Li Sui smiled and signaled the shadow guard to take Yuan Yeyue away first. Jiang Shenglin also went back to his room to study the poison. It would be best if it could be sprinkled and the Burning Fire Hall would collapse immediately. He had seen how powerful Lan Yan was and agreed that she was undoubtedly the best hostage for the cowardly Chi Tian, so there would be no danger in the short term - but he still couldn't help cursing in his heart, thinking that Pan Shihou was really a thief.
Zhu Yanyin divided the mechanisms and maze maps into two layers, one that would not change and the other that would change, and planned to study them carefully.
Li Sui asked: "Why are you daydreaming again?"
"I'm thinking about Chi Tian." Zhu Yanyin said, "Yuan Yeyue has been the chief guardian for so many years, but she has no idea who the spies of the Burning Fire Palace are. I thought that once we break through her, we can catch a lot of people."
Li Sui rubbed his sore shoulders and said, "If Wan Zhuyun knew what you said, he would be so angry that his heart would ache. He worked so hard to manage the Wulin League, but one or two traitors would be enough to make him lose face, and you still say so much."
Zhu Yanyin: "That's not what I meant!"
And judging from the current situation, the management of Alliance Leader Wan is quite effective. Everyone is united in their hatred of the enemy and is willing to sacrifice their lives. As for traitors, there are only a handful of them at present.
One is Du Yafeng from Shangru Villa. After his disguise as a good man was exposed, he has openly surrendered to Chitian and is currently in the Burning Fire Hall.
The first was Pan Shihou from the Sky Spider Hall. He turned a blind eye at first and allowed Pan Jinhua to collude with the Demon Cult and practice those messy kung fu. Later, he went astray in his practice and ignored Jiang Shenglin's medical advice. He stubbornly believed that there must be an antidote in the Fire Hall and even betrayed Lan Yan. As a result, his son still died.
Another one is Liu Xiyang, who was once bribed by Shangru Villa. However, he has been very quiet during this journey. All he does every day is eat and sleep, and he has gained a lot of weight visibly.
Zhu Yanyin said: "From this point of view, Chi Tian has not attracted any powerful spies."
Li Sui poured tea: "I also think there won't be too many traitors in the Wulin Alliance."
Zhu Yanyin thought for a while: "Because the righteous path has you?"
Li Sui nodded: "Yes."
Zhu Yanyin: I knew that you would be trying to show how great you are in a roundabout way again!
Li Sui said: "They know that I will kill Chi Tian even if I die, so anyone with a little bit of brains will not join the Demon Cult for the sake of wealth and glory. He can't win."
Zhu Yanyin: “Pooh, pooh, pooh.” If he dies, you’ll die instead. Do you still want to go to Jiangnan together to celebrate the New Year
Li Sui smiled and handed him the cup of tea: "You take a nap first, and then follow me to find Alliance Leader Wan."
Zhu Yanyin: "Okay."
He has been really busy recently, even busier than the serious martial artists. He has devoted himself to the cause of eliminating demons, just like a real hero.
Best wishes to you, hero.
Yes, it's very impressive.
Li Sui reached out and pulled his hair.
Zhu Yanyin: You are so childish.
He had been sleepless for the past few days and was really sleepy. As soon as his head touched the soft couch, he fell asleep quickly without even having time to cover himself with the quilt.
Li Sui also leaned beside him and rubbed his face with the back of his fingers for a while. He was reluctant to wake him up, so he planned to go find Wan Zhuyun alone. But when he went out, he saw the servants of Zhu Mansion hurriedly pushing a small cart with a lot of things covered with red cloth. When they saw him coming out, they immediately quickened their pace nervously and almost fell down.
Wanren Palace Shadow Guard: If I hadn't remembered in time that the other party was from a prominent family in Jiangnan, I might have suspected on the spot that he had stolen our things.
Li Sui ordered: "Go and check it out."
Wanren Palace Shadow Guard: "Yes!"
The servants of the Zhu Mansion unloaded the things on the cart into the room, moving as quietly as possible and not even daring to speak loudly. After finally putting everything in order, he turned around and saw the Wanren Palace Shadow Guard standing at the door in the dark. It was the same effect as the haunted scene in broad daylight, both of which were terrifying scenes that suddenly appeared in front of him.
"ah!"
…
When Li followed the Wulin Alliance out, the shadow guard was already waiting at the door.
"explain."
"Happy birthday to the Second Young Master tomorrow."
Li Sui stopped and asked: "Tomorrow?"
The shadow guard said, "Yes, they were unwilling to speak at first, and it took me a lot of effort to get them to tell you."
"Why do you have to hide it when you're celebrating your birthday?"
"Second Master Zhu didn't want to show off and didn't even want to go there. It was only because Lord Lan insisted that he bought some wild delicacies from the nearby city."
Li Sui was a little unhappy. When he returned to the bedroom, Zhu Yanyin had just woken up and was standing by the table, drinking water dizzy. When he saw him come in, he complained in a hoarse voice: "We agreed to go to find Alliance Leader Wan together, why did you leave me behind again?"
"Tomorrow is your birthday?"
"… "
Zhu Yanyin thought to himself, I knew my uncle would leak the secret, ah, these middle-aged cunning officials are not trustworthy!
Li Sui grabbed his face and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"What's there to tell? I didn't want to tell you in the first place." Zhu Yanyin raised his head. "It's already this hour, Miss Lan is still locked up in the dungeon of the Burning Fire Palace, but I'm here celebrating with a feast. What a shame."
"Regarding Lan Yan, I plan to make use of Pan Shihou." Li Sui let go of his hand.
Zhu Yanyin rubbed his face and asked, "Did you tell Alliance Leader Wan about the Sky Spider Hall?"
"Yes." Li Sui nodded.
Zhu Yanyin waited for a long time, but didn't get any follow-up words after the "yes", so he had to urge himself: "Then how do you plan to use Pan Shihou?"
Li Sui replied: "I won't tell you."
Zhu Yanyin: “?”
Not only did he not tell him, Li Sui also snatched the teacup from his hand and did not allow anyone else to drink water. What a cruel devil he was.
Zhu Yanyin had no choice but to explain: "I'm just afraid that you'll be distracted. You're worried about Miss Lan, and you're celebrating my birthday at the same time. It's very confusing."
Li Sui sat back in his chair and said, "I don't need to worry about Lan Yan. When it comes to brains, the people in the Burning Fire Hall are no match for her."
Zhu Yanyin: “Oh.”
Li Sui knocked on the table: "Come here."
Zhu Yanyin moved over slowly, feeling that he might be pinched on the face again.
But the minds of Jiangnan talents have always been quick.
So when he was about to be killed by the devil, he suddenly asked: "When is your birthday?"
Li Sui paused for a moment, then continued to answer with a grim look: "I don't have a birthday."
“Liar!”
“I forgot.”
"Then I'll go ask Dr. Jiang!"
"return!"
"Then you say!"
"… "
"Hurry up and tell me!"
“… the eighth day of last month.”
The eighth day of last month.
Mr. Zhu stood with his back straight, his white clothes as white as snow, shining brightly at the highest moral ground.
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
