A knife in love

Chapter 1798

Murong Danyan, Qi Jiu and Wang Xiaoyu naturally had no objection after hearing what Li Qiufeng had said.The four turned around and ran back the way they came, never daring to look back at Shimen again.

The four of them ran for more than ten steps, only to realize that the will-o'-the-wisps in the tomb passage had dissipated a lot at some point, but there were still dozens of will-o'-the-wisps floating around the four of them, like dozens of eyes, looking at them with malicious intentions. Watching the four of them.

Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan and Qi Jiu are masters of martial arts, if they run wildly, they only need a moment to run from the middle gate to the exit of the secret passage.However, Wang Xiaoyu has never practiced lightness kung fu. Although his steps are light, he cannot run too fast.Li Qiufeng and the other three had no choice but to accompany Wang Xiaoyu and flee to the exit of the secret road together.After fleeing more than ten feet away, Li Qiufeng suddenly remembered something, his heart froze, and he turned to Qi Jiu who was walking beside him and said, "Brother Qi, where did Lord Xiao go?"

Qi Jiu hadn't answered yet, but Wang Xiaoyu snorted and said, "That scoundrel has already run away with oil on the soles of his feet."

After a while, the four finally escaped to the exit of the secret passage.Holding the torch in his left hand, Li Qiufeng said to Qi Jiu: "Brother Qi, you enter the secret path first, Miss Wang and Murong Danyan follow behind, and Li is the rear!"

Li Qiufeng finished speaking, but Wang Xiaoyu let out a low cry, his eyes widened, and he stared blankly in the direction of the outer door of the tomb passage.Seeing her like this, Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at the outer door.I saw that the originally dark tomb passage suddenly lit up with a hazy yellow mist.

Seeing this situation, the four were shocked.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what strange things would happen in the tomb passage.In a blink of an eye, four figures appeared in the yellow mist, walking towards the crowd.

Seeing the four figures walking very fast, Li Qiufeng thought to himself that when they arrived at the outer gate earlier, they saw a huge natural stone pressing against the stone gate, and they couldn't get in or out at all.After that, everyone turned around and ran towards the middle gate, but no one was found in the tomb passage.Why all of a sudden, a figure appeared from the direction of the outer door, isn't it strange?Thinking of this, his heart moved, he hurriedly turned his head and whispered to Murong Danyan and the others: "Quickly put out the torch!"

Murong Danyan and the others frantically extinguished the torches, and the surroundings of the four became dark immediately.It's just that the yellow mist grew bigger and bigger like a snowball rolling down from the top of the mountain, dyeing the tomb passage in a strange dark yellow.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, these people don't know what kind of lighting they use to emit such a strange yellow light.It seems that the lighting objects they are holding are not torches, but somewhat like the light of candles.But it takes a lot of candles to dye the tomb passage yellow.No matter how capable these four people were, they couldn't hold so many candles.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking to himself, the four figures were only fifteen or sixty feet away from the crowd.At this time, Li Qiufeng and others realized that there were not four people in the yellow light mist, but four long lines. The four figures they saw were just the four people walking at the front of the four long lines.These people wore iron helmets and armor, held spears in their left hands, and held the handles of waist knives in their left hands. With bows and arrows slanted on their backs, their footsteps were sonorous and powerful, and they came straight from the direction of the outer door.

Li Qiufeng and others were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart. They didn't know why a large group of soldiers suddenly appeared in the tomb passage.Seeing all the sergeants walking over, how dare the four of them make a sound?He had no choice but to stick his body against the stone wall of the tomb passage as much as possible, and watched the four teams of sergeants walk up to him.

At this time, Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu had already drawn their long swords, and Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu also held their long swords in their hands. If these soldiers came to attack, they would wield their swords and fight.It's just that these soldiers didn't look sideways, they didn't seem to see Li Qiufeng and others, they walked past the four of them in a daze, and walked straight towards the middle gate.

Li Qiufeng and the others' hearts had already reached their throats, and they all held their breath, not daring to move.When all the sergeants were walking around, the armor on their bodies made a "squeaky" sound, which was really palpitating, and even the sound of their sonorous and powerful footsteps was covered.

Li Qiufeng pressed his heart against the stone wall, only feeling cold sweat on his forehead, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off, and could only watch the sergeant pass by.The tip of the spear in the sergeant's hand gleamed coldly, extremely sharp.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, when this army walks, it is sonorous and powerful, and its steps are neat, and it can be seen at a glance that it is an elite army.If they found himself and Murong Danyan and others, and countless spears stabbed at them, no matter how high the martial arts were, they would still die.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking to himself, Qi Jiu suddenly pulled the sleeve of his right arm lightly, lowered his voice and said in his ear: "These soldiers don't seem to have noticed us, why don't we escape into the secret passage as soon as possible? Mess with these sergeants."

Li Qiufeng had this intention, and whispered to Qi Jiu to be careful.Qi Jiu agreed, squatted down quietly, touched the exit of the secret passage, and then slipped in without a sound.Li Qiufeng whispered to Wang Xiaoyu and Murong Danyan to get into the secret passage. After the three entered the secret passage, he squatted down and stepped backwards into the secret passage.

This secret passage connects the tomb passage and the stone chamber, and it is not very long.Frightened, the four climbed extremely fast again.In the blink of an eye, he had reached the end of the secret passage.When the four of them passed through the stone cave in the middle of the big uncut jade, they entered the stone room.Seeing that the sergeant in the tomb passage did not catch up from the secret passage, the four put a heart back into their stomachs.

Li Qiufeng asked Murong Danyan to light up the fire pocket, and lit the torches in the hands of the four of them, and the stone room was lit up immediately.The four of them were shocked for a while, and they heard their hearts pounding. They stood in the stone room one by one, panting heavily.Wang Xiaoyu said tremblingly, "Hero Li, Sister Murong, are those soldiers human or ghosts? Where did they come from?"

Murong Danyan smiled wryly, shook his head, and said, "I'm ashamed. Ever since I got here, I've been both deaf and blind. I don't know what happened."

When she said this, she paused for a while, then turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, where did those soldiers come from?"

Li Qiufeng thought for a while, and then said: "Miss Murong, do you still remember the yin soldiers from the Huashan School who Mr. Liu and others said? It is said that after the war, some soldiers who died in battle were so angry that they refused to be reincarnated. , turned into ghosts, wandering between yin and yang. These ghosts are called yin soldiers, and some people call them underworld soldiers or ghost soldiers. They stay where they died in battle, because yin and yang are separated, and the people in the yang world cannot see them. They can’t cause trouble. However, once a powerful magician casts a spell and breaks the balance between the Yin and Yang realms, these soldiers from the underworld will enter the world and cause trouble. 'Yin soldiers borrow the way', and some people call it 'passing the yin soldiers'."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he saw that Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu were already pale and trembling, and then said: "Actually, the so-called excuses of Yin soldiers are just the legends of the villagers in the mountains, and they can't be taken seriously at all. Miss Murong, remember That day in Jingxin Temple under Hutou Rock, we also saw an imperial palace with thousands of soldiers. At that time, we thought it was an excuse from Yin soldiers, but finally found out that it was just an illusion set by Yao Guangxiao. But the illusion is deceptive. It can kill and injure human life, but it can’t be taken lightly.”
