How could she accept that she was in such a half-dead state that she caused everyone to risk their lives to save her?
Seeing this, Xingxing gently patted Sister Na's shoulder and comforted her softly: "Sister Na, don't think too much. We are a team and should share the joys and sorrows together."

She paused, then said seriously: "Qiye has done his best to save you. As teammates, shouldn't we give him the greatest support and cooperation? The most important thing right now is to find out the truth as soon as possible and find a solution. We can talk about other things later."

After hearing these words, Sister Na felt a little relieved.

She nodded heavily, her eyes firm: "Xingxing is right. Now is not the time to feel sorry for ourselves. We must seize the time and continue to explore!"

Seeing that the two had reached a consensus, Lin Qiye smiled with relief.

He was about to say something when a system notification sounded in his ear:
"The host's reputation value has reached 20000 points!"

"Congratulations to the host for getting another chance to draw a lottery. Would you like to start the lottery?"

This sudden reminder made Lin Qiye slightly stunned.

I didn't expect that after this expedition, my reputation value has risen to a huge 20,000.

It seems that netizens' attention to this action far exceeded expectations.

His eyes focused, and he immediately confirmed the lottery options in his mind.

"drop!"

"Congratulations to the host for winning a complete set of Tianshidao Yin-Yang Talismans!"

The complete version of the Yin-Yang Talisman? Tianshi Dao?
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism gradually became independent from Taoist philosophy and Huang-Lao doctrines and began to establish its own religious system.

Zhang Daoling is regarded as the founder of Taoism. He founded the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, also known as the Tianshi Sect.

The Maoshan Sect is just a branch of the Tianshi Dao.

Lin Qiye's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Even though he had used the talisman several times before, it was not pure enough after all.

Now that I have this treasure, I will be able to greatly improve my Taoist cultivation and play a miraculous role at the critical moment!
Thinking of this, he quickly took out a stack of brand new talisman paper from his backpack, looked at it carefully, and found that there was indeed something different, so he put the talisman paper back into the backpack.

After doing all this, he came to his senses, looked around, and said to everyone: "According to the clues, the way to the depths of the temple should be in this hall. Let's split up and look for any places that trigger the mechanism."

After that, everyone began to search every corner around them carefully.

However, no matter the walls, floor tiles, or stone pillars, there was nothing suspicious. Even the bronze tripod did not move at all, as if it was just a decoration.

"Strange, is there a wrong judgment?" Wu Jing muttered somewhat disappointedly.

Cheng Long was suspicious: "Could it be that it is hidden too deeply? After all, we don't know much about the ancient mechanism, maybe we missed something key."

Just when everyone was at a loss, Lin Qiye focused his eyes and noticed an inconspicuous detail.

There was a line of tiny inscriptions engraved on the base of the bronze tripod, which was easily overlooked in the dim light.

He quickly leaned over and used the flashlight to carefully identify it:
"When snake blood gathers, it leads to the underworld."

The strokes of these characters are mysterious and have a strong reminiscent of ancient times.

Lin Qiye concentrated on thinking and soon understood the secret.

"So that's it." He muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.

Then he flipped his right hand, and pulled out a sharp dagger from somewhere, and slashed it fiercely on his palm!
"Qi Ye!" Everyone was shocked and rushed forward to check.

But I saw blood flowing along the blade, and in a blink of an eye it gathered into a pool of bright red on the ground.

Lin Qiye remained calm, pressing his bleeding palm against the bronze tripod wall and smearing it quickly. Soon, the snake-shaped inscriptions were stained with blood, reflecting a strange luster, and slowly moved, recombining into mysterious runes.

Everyone was stunned and stood there.

At the same time, the surrounding stone pillars began to tremble, emitting wisps of green smoke.

The twenty-four giant stone pythons seemed to be alive, wriggling and hissing!
Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian were so scared that they screamed and subconsciously huddled together.

Wu Jing and Cheng Long were also horrified and retreated repeatedly.

Even Sister Na and Xingxing couldn't help but gasp.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the entire hall began to shake violently.

A crack suddenly appeared on the ceiling, and countless pieces of gravel fell down.

The ground in front of the bronze tripod slowly sank, revealing a dark hole!
Lin Qiye stared at the strange sight before him, a confident smile forming on his lips.

He turned around and said to the people behind him who were still in shock: "It's done! This cave entrance is the passage leading to the depths of the temple. Everyone, why are you still standing there? Don't you want to find out what's going on?"

After hearing this, Cheng Long and Wu Jing came to their senses and nodded in agreement hurriedly.

"Of course! What can a mere hole do to me?"

"That's right! No matter how dangerous it is, we have to give it a try! No risk, no gain."

The two of them chatted with each other, and their morale gradually rose.

Sister Na glanced at Lin Qiye. Although her face was still a little pale, there was a bright light in her eyes.

Xingxing gently held his hand and smiled: "With Qiye here, what do we have to fear? No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, as long as we are united, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome!"

Although Yang Mi and Tianxian still looked terrified, they stepped forward with Lin Qiye's encouragement.

“Sister Mi, Tianxian, don’t be afraid.” Lin Qiye patted their shoulders, his tone gentle but firm, “I’m here to protect you. No matter how difficult it is, we have to get through it together!”

The two women then nodded reluctantly, feeling slightly relieved.

Seeing that everyone's emotions were gradually stabilizing, Lin Qiye made a prompt decision and looked at the dark crack again.

"Okay, let's take a break. It's time to set off." He said seriously, "We have only one goal, to conquer the Temple of God and uncover the truth!"

After saying this, he took the first step and stepped into the endless darkness.

Sister Na and Xingxing looked at each other and followed closely.

Wu Jing and Cheng Long also straightened their chests and followed with big strides.

Although Yang Mi and Tian Xian were nervous, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk at the end.

[Fuck! This development is so exciting! I didn’t expect that a mere bronze tripod could actually hide a secret passage leading to the underground palace!]

[That’s right! This Kirishima Shrine is indeed as famous as it is said to be, and it is full of mysteries! I wonder what else is waiting for us below?]

[Who cares! With the Maoshan leader protecting us, why worry about not being able to get through? I think as long as everyone works together, we will be invincible!]

[Tsk~ What do you know? No matter how powerful Maoshan is, can it be as strong as Inspector Lin? In terms of courage and insight, he is in a class of his own!] (End of this chapter)
