A knife in love

Chapter 398

Everyone listened to Situ Qiao eloquently narrate another strange incident, and they thought to themselves: "This man's words are long-winded, and what could have been explained clearly in one sentence, he has to go around a big circle and explain it in ten sentences. It's a waste of time and it's really annoying."

Deng Yao and the others thought, "I've heard that Situ Qiao is notoriously afraid of his henpeck, if he wants to come to the Huafu and be oppressed by the elder sister of the Hua family all day long, I'm afraid he won't even have a chance to talk. So after leaving Huafu, the usual oppression suddenly disappeared, and under the ecstasy, he turned into a chatterbox. As long as he seized the opportunity to speak, he would talk non-stop. His ambition is sad, and his feelings are wonderful. Pity, pity!"

However, Situ Qiao didn't know what the crowd was thinking, and still said to himself: "The leader had planned a long time ago, and he rushed to the door of the tomb before the black oil poured down. It's just that the black oil fell from the top of his head and covered his face. It fell down, just like the Milky Way falling nine days. When he fled to the door of the tomb, his whole body was drenched in black oil. At that time, five torches were scattered on the ground in the tomb, and the black oil dripped down. After that, a fire was ignited with a 'hoo'.

"Although the leader didn't turn his head back, he heard a loud noise, and knew that the situation was not good. At this time, he had rushed to the door of the tomb, but he felt a wave of heat coming from behind him. He tore, tore the black oil-soaked clothes in half, and then threw them behind him. At this time, a fire was already burning in the tomb, and his clothes were ignited by the fire just as he took off his hands.

"Although the leader fled outside the tomb, he also threw the clothes soaked in black oil into the tomb. It's just that the black oil has seeped into his undershirt, and the black oil is flammable when it sees fire. Therefore, he only felt that his body was hot, and his back was on fire. The leader knew that something was wrong, so he rolled to the ground in his busy schedule, and rolled in the tomb passage. While rolling, he tore the clothes close to his body He got down. At that time, his body was on fire, and his hands were burning with unbearable pain. This man was really amazing, even though his fingers were connected to his heart, he couldn't care less. He took off all the clothes on his body in a moment, and threw them aside. Although he had several burns on his body, they were not serious, and his life was finally saved.

"When he stood up naked, he saw the blazing fire in the tomb, scorching hot. The zombie, together with the gold, silver and jewels in the tomb, had been burned to smoke by the fire. The leader was frightened out of his wits, where Dare to stay in this mausoleum for a while longer? Naked and escaped from the tomb passage, never daring to look back.

"After he escaped from the tomb, he found a secret place and hid for more than half a year before he healed the burns on his body. It's just that not only did he not get any money from the tomb robbery this time, but even more than a dozen of his subordinates were killed. Losing his life in the tomb can be said to be a heavy loss. The leader held his breath and first found the places where the money was hidden by the dozen or so subordinates one by one, but he also got a hundred taels of gold and more than a thousand taels of silver. Little jewels and jade articles. He never imagined that these people would accumulate so much money under his nose, and cursed in his heart. However, having obtained so much gold, silver, jewelry and jade articles out of thin air, the originally depressed mood has improved a lot.

"During the next six months, he secretly recruited his men again. He just happened to meet me, and he was surrounded by them. If it wasn't for this tomb robbery that caused all the robbers under him to die miserably, I'm afraid he wouldn't have killed me like this Bai Ding recruited his subordinates..."

When he said this, he let out a long sigh.Murong Danyan said: "Mr. Situ, what happened to those grave robbers?"

The corner of Situ Qiao's mouth twitched a few times, as if hesitating a bit, before saying after a while: "They... are all dead..."

Murong Danyan was startled, and tremblingly said: "They are all dead? Did you kill them?"

Situ Qiao shook his head with a gloomy expression.Murong Danyan asked: "Who killed that?"

Situ Qiao said: "They went to a place they shouldn't go, and they all died in the end!"

Murong Danyan was about to ask again, but Situ Qiao said impatiently: "You think I'm long-winded, but you just keep asking questions, don't you think you want to delay here?"

Murong Danyan was about to refute when he heard his rude words, but Li Qiufeng shook his head slightly at her, signaling her not to ask any more questions.Murong Danyan was upset, suppressed his anger, and gave Situ Qiao a hard look.

But I heard Situ Qiao continue to say: "Just now I remembered what the leader of the tomb robbers said about the past, and immediately thought that if there is a passage outside the platform, it must be built with this kind of strange stone, or paved with this kind of strange stone on the surface of the passage. So even though we held the torches, we couldn’t see where the passage was. Just now, after Mr. Liu and the Taoist priest cut the silver ingots into silver powder, I used a handful of silver powder to try to scatter some on the edge of the platform. After leaving the passage, I walked up. Haha, do you all think that I have become a fairy?!"

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.Liu Yong said: "Mr. Situ has a quick mind and sharp eyes. If you didn't see the joints, I'm afraid we will be at a loss and we will never find a way out."

Situ Qiao looked smug, and said, "Mr. Liu's words are not bad."

When everyone heard him bragging, they were quite disapproving.Liu Yong was afraid that he would continue talking at length, so he hastily interrupted him, saying: "Mr. Situ, I wonder if this silver powder is enough?"

Situ Qiao turned his head to look at the bottomless abyss outside the platform, and then said to Liu Yong: "It should be enough. No matter how big this abyss is, it is only one or two hundred feet long. As long as we save it, we are expected to walk through this abyss." An abyss should be enough. This strange stone is a rare thing in the world, no matter how powerful Yao Guangxiao is, he can't conjure it out of thin air, can he?"

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Let Mr. Situ lead the way first, and let's find Jingxin Temple as soon as possible."

Situ Qiao said with a smile: "That's easy to say. I'll sprinkle the silver powder in front, and you just need to step on the place where there is silver powder to walk forward. It's just that the silver powder is so small that it will scatter in the wind. When walking, everyone, be careful Be careful not to scatter the silver powder."

Knowing that they could finally move on, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.It's just that after hearing what Situ Qiao said, he felt a little uneasy.I saw Situ Qiao raised the torch with his left hand, walked to the edge of the platform, looked at the silver powder paved passage outside the platform, and walked slowly up.

Situ Qiao walked very carefully, even though some silver powder flew up occasionally, it slowly fell to the original place.Liu Yong said to the crowd: "I am following Mr. Situ, you all arrange yourself, and be careful when walking."

After he finished speaking, he lifted the hem of his shirt and tucked it into the cloth belt around his waist.He did this so that when he was walking, the gown would not bring up air currents, and naturally it would not disperse the silver powder on the passage.Everyone followed Liu Yong's lead and rolled up their gowns one after another.Zhu San's family was originally a farmer's short jacket. Seeing the people in a hurry, they laughed and said, "It's better that we farm the land simply, unlike you who wear long jackets, and have so many troubles."

After everyone stopped, they saw Situ Qiao holding a torch standing two or three feet away from the platform, waiting for everyone.Liu Yong walked to the edge of the platform, watching the dots of silver powder in front of him glisten under the light of the torch.Even though he is strong in martial arts and well-informed, his heart is also uneasy.It's just that at this time, he couldn't allow him to hesitate.Liu Yong gritted his teeth, slowly stretched out his right foot, and stepped out of the platform.

At this time, Liu Yong's whole body was extremely tense, and his true energy spread all over his body. As long as his body fell, he would use his strength to jump up and jump back to the platform.It's just that his right foot fell slowly, and finally stepped on the passages paved with silver powder without a sound, and immediately felt that his foot had stepped on the ground.He was overjoyed, and then he realized that he had closed his eyes tightly at some point.He secretly screamed "ashamed", thinking to himself that when he was in Huashan, he practiced swordsmanship and the art of breathing on the top of the cliff every day. , but has never been so panicked.Thinking about it carefully, this place may not be as precipitous as Mount Hua, but what scares me is not life and death, but the fear of the unknown bottomless abyss beneath my feet.

Seeing Liu Yong walking out of the platform cautiously and standing on top of the bottomless abyss like Situ Qiao, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that what Situ Qiao said was true.Situ Qiao said to the crowd: "Everyone, go forward one by one, and be careful where you step."

After he finished speaking, he turned around, took out another handful of silver powder from his pocket with his right hand, and lightly sprinkled a little in front of him.I saw the silver powder fluttering and flying in all directions, and a moment later, another ten feet wide passage was formed in front of Situ Qiao.Situ Qiao chuckled and walked forward slowly.Everyone followed behind him, although they couldn't see what he was doing, they just saw him walking forward slowly, knowing that this method is effective, they were all filled with joy.

It's just that although there are silver powders to guide the way, the passage is no more than ten feet wide, and you can only see dots of silver powders when you walk on it, and there is a pitch-black bottomless abyss on both sides.Therefore, when everyone walks, they are extremely careful, lest if they are not careful, they will fall into the abyss.

Everyone followed Situ Bridge forward for more than twenty feet, but found that the passage under their feet was not straight, but zigzag forward.Everyone was even more afraid to take things too seriously, and walked very carefully step by step.At this moment, Situ Qiao stopped suddenly.Liu Yong, who was closely behind him, was taken aback, thinking that something had happened, so he also stopped.The group of heroes following him also stopped one by one, everyone's heart trembled, and some of them involuntarily held their weapons.

But Situ Qiao turned around and said to the crowd: "Everyone doesn't seem to believe what I just said about the Qimen and Five Elements. I would like to ask you to take a look at what is the gate of life and what is the gate of death."

Everyone was startled, and they all thought: "Let's walk on this bottomless abyss, everyone is trembling, who would want to see the door of life and death, the door of Qimen and the five elements? It's better to leave this ghost place as soon as possible! "So they shook their heads hastily one by one.Liu Yong said: "Mr. Situ, we are in a dangerous place, it is better to find Jingxin Temple as soon as possible. If we delay here, once a more powerful mechanism is activated, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to get out of the predicament."

Situ Qiao said with a smile: "Mr. Liu can rest assured. Yao Guangxiao built the Jingxin Temple, naturally not because he didn't want people to come to the temple. Otherwise, he only needs to destroy this passage, and that will be the end of it. It is above this bottomless abyss, even if he has great powers, he will never be able to set up traps. Therefore, the more dangerous it is here, the safer it is for us. If my guess is right, then the Qimen Five Elements The organ must be extremely miraculous. If we move forward, we may not be able to see it even if we want to."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Liu Yong knew that this person was stubborn, and arguing with him would be a waste of time, so he nodded.Situ Qiao said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, I heard that the Huashan School has a hidden weapon called 'Zhen Tianzi' to summon fellow sects. I wonder if Mr. Liu has it on him?"

Liu Yong was startled, then nodded after a while, and said: "This is the token that our sect summoned our fellow sects to come to rescue when we were in danger, so Liu naturally took it with me." Situ Qiao said: "This is the best. Please Mr. Liu tell us Launch a Zhentianzi in the direction you came, and discipline you to see the wonders of the world!"
