they were all ordinary folks, yet his master had assigned him to watch over them; it was a wasteful use of his abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a total of four side chambers in the tomb, which conveniently became the bedrooms for these four men in black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had always operated with two people on guard and two resting and sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of this moment, Gui Yunxi quickly finished the rice in his bowl and followed after Zhuo Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daoist priest, please wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Qing stopped and turned to look at Gui Yunxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the people here, it was this seemingly honest man who was most trustworthy; his cooking was delicious, and he didn’t stir up trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui Yunxi said, “Well, today the mountain wind is very strong, making it difficult for us to light the fire outside for cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder, Daoist priest, could you allow us to move the stove inside to cook?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want to cook here?” Zhuo Qing raised an eyebrow, thinking about the smoke from the fire and how choking it could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui Yunxi hastily said, “Rest assured, Daoist priest, we’ve made a clay stove recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t need to light a fire; we use charcoal to cook, and it won’t produce any strong odors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There won’t be any smoke?” Zhuo Qing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui Yunxi promptly assured, “You have my word, there absolutely won’t be any smoke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Qing yawned and said, “In that case, bring your clay stove inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, thank you for your understanding, Daoist priest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the afternoon, Searcy and Gui Yunxi carried a half-human-tall clay stove inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Searcy, a girl, sat down on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath after setting it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m dead tired, Gui Yunxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re moving it yourself when we leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou gave her a drink, telling her to rest on the side for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They took out the prepared charcoal and lit it, placing it inside the clay stove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon the charcoal was ablaze, glowing red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he put the iron pot on top and started cooking and stir-frying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Qing came out of the side chamber and found that the clay stove Gui Yunxi was using indeed did not produce smoke like a fire would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It did have a scent, which was the aroma of food and not unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the charcoal fire, the entire frigid tomb seemed to warm up a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that from now on, it might not be a bad idea to let them cook inside the ancient tomb and personally supervise them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food was ready, and its aroma was enticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The charcoal fire in the clay stove had not gone out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting up the meal, Gui Yunxi proposed, “Daoist priest, there’s still plenty of fire left in the stove; it would be a pity to put it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How about letting me move this stove into your room to warm it up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve put thought into this; go ahead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was summer now, but inside the ancient tomb, especially at night, lying on the cold stone slabs was indeed a bit cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui Yunxi gave Searcy a meaningful look, and despite her cursing, she still went to help move it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The medicinal workers were all cold-natured, especially in such a damp and chilly place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou and a few other workers, along with Searcy, huddled together, sleeping in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the men in black was responsible for the night watch, sleeping at the stone gateway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Gui Yunxi’s first time undertaking such a task; he was timid and didn’t dare to fall asleep all night with his eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible to tell day from night in the ancient tomb, but the men in black had a sandglass similar to an alarm clock;
