A knife in love

Chapter 2307
After listening to Xiao Dong's words, Wang Xiaoyu thought to himself, although this person's character is extremely bad, his insight is extraordinary, which is really admirable.He explained clearly in a few words what we couldn't figure out even after thinking about it.No wonder this guy tricked us many times, but Li Daxia has always refused to turn against him. If we want to escape today, we must rely on this person's strength.

When Xiao Dong said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "Mr. Qi just noticed that the water level in the tomb passage is constantly rising, and it seems that the Fusang people are constantly introducing sea water into the big stone cave. We must escape from the tomb passage as soon as possible, and then make further calculations. "

When everyone was talking, they had already walked twenty or thirty feet forward.At this time, the water level has risen a lot, and it has reached between the chest and abdomen of Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu.Li Qiufeng was afraid that the two daughters would be in danger, so while listening to Xiao Dong's words, Li Qiufeng stared closely at Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu.Qi Jiuban was by Wang Xiaoyu's side, and most of his thoughts were on her.

Wang Xiaoyu grew up by the sea since she was a child, and she has excellent water skills, so although the water surface has risen a lot, she is not afraid at all.I saw her holding the fire folder high in her left hand, holding the hilt of the sword in her right hand underwater, and said with a smile: "Hero Li said that the old thief Liu Sheng Zongyan is watching from the side, and the tomb passage is full of water now. If this traitor hides underwater and sneak attack We are extremely difficult to guard against."

Xiao Dong shook his head, and said: "The old villain Liu Sheng is very smart, he will not give up his life to make things difficult for us. The water level rises so fast, I am afraid that after an hour, the tomb passage will be closed. The sea is submerged. At that time, even if this old thief is the best in martial arts, he will have to wait for death. Therefore, he must have escaped from the tomb at this time, and is trying to figure out how to get back to the stone platform in the pool. We will definitely not encounter this traitor in the tomb passage, but when we go out of the tomb passage and reach the stone platform with skeletons everywhere outside, we will encounter this old thief in all likelihood."

When Xiao Dong said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "At that time, everyone will rush up, don't believe we can't beat this old thief to death!"

As soon as Xiao Dong finished speaking, Murong Danyan rushed to say: "I remember that the entrance to the tomb is there when we entered the tomb passage." While speaking, she stood on tiptoe and pointed to the stone wall more than two zhang ahead to the right.After hearing what Murong Danyan said, Qi Jiu turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, your swimming skills are still acceptable, so let's go to explore the way, everyone, please wait here."

Li Qiufeng knew that Qi Jiu grew up in the Dengzhou Guards since he was a child. He is very good at water and cautious in handling things. It is much better for him to find the hole in the stone wall than himself.So after Qi Jiu finished speaking, Li Qiufeng nodded and told him to be careful.Qi Jiu agreed, quietly dived into the water, and disappeared instantly.

Wang Xiaoyu saw that after Qi Jiu sank into the water, the water droplets kept falling on the water surface, showing round and round ripples. Under the weak light of Huozhezi, the water surface looked even more strange.Lightning flashed from time to time, making the tomb path pale, and the large skull on the stone wall seemed to be staring at everyone with ill intentions.Wang Xiaoyu secretly prayed to the gods and Buddhas in his heart, begging them to bless Qi Jiu's safe return.

Although Qi Jiu didn't dive into the water for long, Wang Xiaoyu was already anxious.It's just that she didn't want Murong Danyan and others to see that she was restless, so she forced herself to bear it.After a while, she looked up at the top of the dark tomb passage, and said, "Strange! Earlier, I thought that the thunderbolt hit the top of the mountain and opened a big hole, causing us to fall into the tomb passage. Then it rained heavily, and the rainwater came from the big hole. Falling into the tomb passage, water will accumulate everywhere here. But at present, these water droplets are not rainwater at all, and where did they come from?"

After Li Qiufeng saw Qi Jiu enter the water, there was no movement, and his heart was uneasy. He held the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand and stared at the water. How could he listen to Wang Xiaoyu?So after Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, Li Qiufeng didn't answer.

Murong Danyan stood beside Wang Xiaoyu, saw the expression on Wang Xiaoyu's face clearly, secretly amused in his heart, knowing that Wang Xiaoyu was worried about Qi Jiu's safety, but he was too embarrassed to say so, so he had to turn away Huatou, to conceal the uneasiness in my heart.She thought to herself, sister Xiaoyu has restrained herself a lot now, she is not as reckless as before.If she and Mr. Qi can form a good relationship between Qin and Jin, it will be a good marriage.Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to say something to comfort Wang Xiaoyu, but she heard Xiao Dong say: "Just now when I woke up, I found myself sitting in the water, thinking that someone accidentally touched the mechanism, The water was put into the tomb passage. Later, Mr. Qi woke up the dreamer with a word, and I realized that it was the Fusang people who introduced sea water into the big stone cave to drown Liu Shengzongyan. But Miss Wang thought about it, since it is sea water Poured into the tomb passage, why does the top of the tomb passage seem to be raining, and the water drops continue to fall?"

Hearing what Xiao Dong said, Wang Xiaoyu was taken aback, thinking that I just said a few words casually just to cover up my uneasiness.You clearly know that I don't understand, why do you want to embarrass me?Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyu was quite unhappy, but he was not easy to get angry, and said in his mouth: "I have little knowledge, so I don't know why this happened."

Xiao Dong chuckled, and said: "Seven years ago, I went to Chengdu Mansion to work for the Firearms Bureau. After the matter was settled, several officials from Xiangyang Mansion invited me to drink. One official was drunk and said something strange. It’s quite similar to what we’re experiencing right now.”

When Xiao Dong said this, he paused for a while, and then he continued: "There is a village called Chengjia Village more than 14 miles away from the west gate of Chengdu Mansion. There are more than [-] families in the village, and most of them take Cheng as their surname. According to old legends, these Cheng surnamed families in the village have extraordinary backgrounds. Their ancestors were Chen Xing, the minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period. Chen Xing lost his father when he was young, but he was unwilling to be mediocre. He became famous at the age of [-], and was recognized by the world as one of the great Confucianists in Shu after he became an adult. He had countless disciples, and Chen Shou, who later wrote "Three Kingdoms", was one of his favorite students.

"Chen Xing is not only knowledgeable, but also very resourceful. After he became famous, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang sent someone to invite him to become an official. Chen Xing has always been enthusiastic about fame and fortune. When Liu Zhang's envoy arrived, he went there with pleasure. Liu Zhang was accepted by Chen Xing. Chen Xing is not only proficient in Confucianism, but also very familiar with the Book of Changes. Many officials in Yizhou have asked him to divination, which is said to be very effective. Such a Later, Chen Xing became more and more famous. Later, not only officials in Yizhou asked Chen Xing to make calculations when they encountered problems, but the people also said that Chen Xing was an immortal from the sky who could know 500 years before and [-] years later. , Believe what he said.

"Although Liu Zhang occupies Yizhou, he is a fool. Many officials and powerful households in Yizhou look down on him. It's just that the Central Plains were in chaos at that time. Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and other heroes from all walks of life The battles are endless. The terrain in the middle of Shu is steep, and the heroes have no time to look around for a while, so there have been decades of peace. But the people of insight in the middle of the land are clear-eyed, knowing that once the Central Plains has a common leader, they will definitely lead the army to attack Shu. Liu Zhang Cowardly and incompetent, there is no doubt that they will lose. As the saying goes, under a nest, there will be no eggs, these people secretly colluded with each other for the sake of their own wealth and wealth, and planned to betray Liu Zhang and join the Ming Lord."
