A knife in love

Chapter 523

Fan Tong and Liao Dagang naturally knew the man's plan, but they didn't dare to get too close because they were afraid of his silver needle.After waiting until there were only five oil lamps left in the stone room, the surrounding area was already extremely dark.The two of them were even more careful, for fear that the person would take the opportunity to shoot the silver needles. In such a dark place, it is extremely difficult to avoid the tiny silver needles.

Seeing that Fan Tong and Liao Dagang didn't dare to approach, the man jumped up to the entrance of the corridor.Fan Tong had been on guard against him for a long time, when he saw his figure move, he hooked his left foot on the ground, picked up the steel knife beside a policeman who was lying on the ground, and then kicked it out with his right foot.Hearing a "huh", the steel knife shot straight at the man with strong wind.The man had just stood up when he heard the strong wind behind him remember that someone was sneaking up, he swung the short knife with his right hand, and with a loud "Dang", the steel knife was already knocked out.But in this way, his body froze and he fell straight to the ground.

Seeing the man falling from the sky, Fan Tong and Liao Dagang swung their long swords and steel knives and rushed towards him.

The man was in mid-air, he knew that the situation was not good, before he landed, he waved his left hand, and several silver needles flew out, hitting Fan Tong and Liao Dagang.Fan and Liao were shocked, they didn't dare to block with their swords, they dodged to the left and right.At this moment, the man had fallen to the ground, and he swung his left hand again, this time hitting the five oil lamps hanging on the stone wall with a silver needle.Only then did Fan and Liao realize that the target of this person's attack was not themselves, but to blow out all the oil lamps, so that the stone room would become pitch black, and he could do things cheaply.It's just that the two of them have already been forced to retreat to the left and right sides by the man with the silver needle, and it's too late to knock the silver needle away.There were only a few "pops" and all the five oil lamps were extinguished, and the stone room became pitch black in an instant.

Everyone's heart was terrified, at this time the darkness suddenly came, everyone was terrified, how could they care about chasing the enemy?One by one, they held their breath and put their weapons in front of them to prevent the enemy from attacking them.Although everyone carries a fire pocket, if they shine the fire pocket at this time, they may become the target of the enemy's attack immediately, so no one dares to take out the fire pocket and can only wait for the opportunity in the dark.

In the silence, a loud "bang" was suddenly heard, which shook the stone walls and ceiling around the stone room to buzz.Li Qiufeng heard the loud noise coming from behind, and thought that behind him was the stone platform on which Guan Yu's coffin was placed, his heart trembled, and he cried out inwardly.He saw the opportunity very quickly, as soon as the sound fell, his body had already jumped up, and he rushed straight to the stone platform.

Before Li Qiufeng jumped up, he had already calculated the location of Situ Bridge.It's just that when he rushed over, he felt a strong wind passing in front of him.He pushed out his right palm, only heard a "hoo", but this palm hit an empty space.In the blink of an eye, he only felt that there seemed to be a giant lying in front of him.Li Qiufeng didn't dare to be reckless, he turned somersault in mid-air, and rose two feet up again, feeling that he was on the top of the giant, and then fell gently.Hearing only a light "pa", his feet had already stood on top of the giant.

At this moment, he had judged that he should land on the coffin, so he slowly squatted down, and touched it lightly with his right hand, the tentacles were smooth and flat, there was no doubt that it was a coffin.With no more doubts in his heart, he took out a fire pocket from his pocket and lightly shook it.But there was an exclamation of "噫" not far away, and then someone shouted in alarm: "Lord Baihu, be careful of the plotters!"

The Huozhe could be lit up, Li Qiufeng waved his right hand, and the Huozhe flew towards the roof of the stone room in a flat manner, immediately lighting up the surrounding area.I saw Fan Tong and Liao Dagang standing in the middle of the stone room, each holding a sword, with expressions of surprise on their faces.But the man in black and Situ Qiao had disappeared without a trace.

Li Qiufeng flew up, grabbed the fire folder in his hand, and then his figure was like lightning, and he walked around the stone room quickly and inexorably along the stone wall, and lighted up all the oil lamps hanging on the stone wall, and the stone room reappeared. bright.

When Fan Tong and Liao Dagang saw Li Qiufeng showing this skill, their expressions changed drastically. Only then did they realize that although Jin Yiwei was young, he had already been named a hundred households.When they found out that the man in black and Situ Qiao were gone, both of them were terrified, thinking that the suspect would escape, this matter would be difficult.But after thinking about it, fortunately Jin Yiwei was also on the scene, and with him standing up, even if the boss blamed him, it would be much easier to say.

Liao Dagang said tremblingly, "My lords, what should I do about this?"

Fan Tong didn't speak, but looked at Li Qiufeng, hoping that he could come up with an idea.Li Qiufeng said: "The lightness kung fu of these two people is extremely good, presumably they have escaped from the tunnel taking advantage of the darkness just now. Even if we want to chase, we may not be able to catch up."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "I want to see what they are looking for in the tomb of Emperor Guan."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he turned and looked up the stone platform.But he saw that the huge coffin lid had already been pushed away.Presumably, when Fan Tong and Liao Dagang were besieging the man in black, Li Qiufeng turned his back to the stone platform again, and Situ Qiao took the opportunity to quietly open the lid of the coffin.After the man in black knocked out all the oil lamps with a silver needle, Situ Qiao pried open the lid of the coffin, took what he was going to take, and put down the lid casually, only then did there be a loud noise.

Fan Tong and Liao Gang saw that the lid of the coffin had been lifted, and their expressions changed drastically.Fan Tong paused and said, "I never thought that this thief would be so bold that he even dared to offend Emperor Guan's coffin." Liao Dagang said tremblingly: "If such a big thing happened, the governor of Henan may not be able to suppress this case. Report to the Ministry of Punishment. Let's, let's... what should we do?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Both captors, don't worry, that person can't escape. This person is sneaky in Luoyang, and I have long suspected that he has other plans. He stole Guan Yu's tomb, which can only aggravate his crimes. The two headhunters have nothing to do with it. But we want to see what this person is looking for when he travels thousands of miles south."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he jumped up and jumped onto the stone platform again.Hearing Li Qiufeng's words, Fan Tong and Liao Dagang felt relieved, and when they saw that Li Qiufeng was going to check Guan Yu's coffin, they also jumped onto the stone platform.

The huge coffin lay horizontally in front of the three of them, looking mysterious and majestic.Guan Yu is well-known in China, known as the number one military general in the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, but his ending is tragic, which has always been embarrassing.Since the Song Dynasty, the folks have been worshiping Guan Yu.Afterwards, even the imperial court respected Guan Yu.The emperor of the Song Dynasty pardoned Guan Yu and made him a god. When Meng Yuan was in power, although Lamaism was the state religion, he respected Guan Yu very much and listed him as a god of Buddhism instead of a Taoist god.After Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he affirmed Guan Yu as a general of the Han Dynasty. Guan Yu became a saint from a god, and he is as famous as Confucius in the world.Fan Tong and Liao Dagang lived in Luoyang for a long time, and they always respected Guan Yu.At this time, looking at the huge coffin in front of him, and thinking of all the legends about Guan Yu, he couldn't help but fight between the two, and almost fell to his knees on the ground.

Ever since Li Qiufeng lost the Xiuchun Knife, he is not as brave and fearless as before.At this moment, in front of him was the remains of Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, whom he had been in awe of since he was a child, which made him not act without scruples like before.He stood in a daze for a while, then took two steps forward, then remembered something, turned his head and said to Fan Tong and Liao Dagang: "Captain Fan, this matter is of great importance, and it cannot be handled by me alone. You two may as well Come here and have a look at it with me, so we can testify to each other, so as not to cause trouble."

Fan Tong and Liao Dagang hurried forward a few steps and stood beside Li Qiufeng.Li Qiufeng straightened his body and stood on top of the coffin.Fan Tong and Liao Gang also jumped onto the coffin, only to find that the lid of the coffin had been pushed aside by Situ Qiao, and more than half of the coffin was exposed.The three of them smelled a faint fragrance, which was mixed with a little lime flavor.

Li Qiufeng turned on the torch, slowly squatted down, and used the torch to shine into the coffin.

Under the light of the fire, a headless body was lying in the coffin.This man was wearing a golden armor and a purple robe, lying on a brocade quilt.On both sides of the body are jade objects such as Yugui and Ruyi, which emit a faint light under the light of the fire fold.There is still a golden helmet on the head, but it is illuminated with pure gold.The red tassel on the top of the helmet is as bright red as blood, and against the backdrop of many jade objects, it has a breathtaking power.

There is a saying in folklore called "Put head on Luoyang, body lie on Dangyang", which means that after Sun Quan killed Guan Yu, he put Guan Yu's head in a brocade box and sent someone to Luoyang.The purpose was to blame Cao Cao for Guan Yu's death, so that Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others believed that Soochow's attack on Guan Yu was instigated by Cao Cao.In this way, Liu Bei will raise troops to avenge Cao Cao, so as not to endanger Soochow.Unexpectedly, Cao Cao "understood his plan, but carved the body of feathers with fragrant wood", and buried Guan Yu's head in Luoyang with the rituals of princes.However, Guan Yu's body was buried in Dangyang, Hubei by Soochow, so there is such a saying among the people.It is well known that Guan Yu's head was buried in the Guan Tomb of Guandi Shengjun Temple, but at this time there was only Guan Yu's body carved from agarwood wood in the coffin, but the head had disappeared.

Li Qiufeng and the other three were shocked and couldn't help but look at each other.Li Qiufeng originally thought that Situ Qiao sneaked into Guanzhong, just looking for treasures.However, seeing that the jade objects such as Yugui and Ruyi in the coffin were all priceless treasures, it seemed that no one had touched them, but Guan Yu's head was missing.He was terrified, he really couldn't figure out why Situ Qiao wanted to steal Guan Yu's head instead of taking the treasure.It should be known that although Guan Yu was defeated and died, he has been admired by the world for thousands of years. No one dared to offend his tomb.I think that Luoyang has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It has experienced the flames of war for a long time, and even the city has been demolished many times. It is An Lushan, Shi Siming, Wen Tao, Huang Chao, Zhu Wen, etc. who are famous all over the world. The thugs, even the Huren, Khitan, Jurchen, Meng Yuan and other foreign races in the Central Plains of the Wuhu, also respect Guan Yu very much, and have always protected Guan Yu's mausoleum, and have never destroyed any brick of Guan Yu's mausoleum.And the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the green forest heroes admire Guan Yu's loyalty and bravery, and even regard him as a heavenly man.Situ Qiao stole Guan Yu's head, which is a big taboo in the world, not only the government can't let him go, even the heroes of the world will regard him as an enemy, even if he hides in the ends of the world, he will not escape the pursuit of martial arts masters.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Situ Qiao stole Guan Yu's head, definitely not to get rich. Most of it has something to do with the formation map he had found in the cave under Hutou Rock. This person is persistent, and he is determined to take the formation map left by Zhuge Liang. If you get it, I'm afraid there are other plans. You have to catch him as soon as possible and force him to explain the matter clearly, otherwise if he succeeds in his scheme, I'm afraid it will lead to a catastrophe."
