A knife in love

Chapter 741

Hearing the sound of drums behind them and the sound of horseshoes getting closer and closer, everyone was extremely terrified, knowing that today was no luck, and everyone felt somewhat hopeless.

At this moment, a hill appeared faintly not far away.Although this hill is not very high, but it is surrounded by a flat wilderness, this hill suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, it seems quite tall.

Everyone thought they were in a desperate situation, and they were all depressed.Just seeing this hill, it was like a drowning person suddenly grabbing a straw, and he cheered up again.

Both Cao Bin and Yang Ye were famous generals in hundreds of battles. After seeing Shan Gang, they were all overjoyed.The two knew that what they were most afraid of facing the cavalry attack was being in a flat land.Not only can the cavalry attack from the front, but it is also easier to turn around from the two wings and cut off the retreat of the defenders.If they can hold on to the hillside, the cavalry will not be able to attack and turn around without fear.Although there are less than ten people, the hill is not very tall, but if they can escape to the hill, the hope of escape will be a little more.

Everyone ran wildly, and after a while, they had reached the bottom of the hill.When viewed from a distance, the hill does not seem very high.It was only when I ran closer that I realized that this was a hillside protruding from the wilderness.Standing at the bottom of the slope and looking at it, there is a huge gray beast crouching in front of it, which is indescribably eerie.

Everyone stood at the bottom of the slope and looked up, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.It's just that the sound of drums behind him shook the sky, iron hoofs clanked, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly.Everyone knew that the moment of life and death had come, and seeing poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts in front of them was better than being trampled into flesh by those skeleton soldiers.So everyone stopped for a while, and then ran towards the hillside at the same time.

But just as everyone was about to climb up the hill, Li Qiufeng caught a glimpse of a figure flickering not far from the left, as if someone had passed by.Li Qiufeng was startled, and when he looked carefully, he saw a huge stone tablet standing at the bottom of the slope twenty or thirty feet away from the left, and the figure had already flashed behind the stone tablet, and then disappeared.Thoughts in Li Qiufeng's mind turned sharply, and suddenly he remembered a person.His heart skipped a beat. Seeing everyone scrambling to climb up the hill, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't go up the hill, there seems to be a road on the left!"

At this time, Yang Yansi had put Cao Bin down.Hearing Li Qiufeng's shout, Cao Bin turned his head to look to the left, but he also saw the huge monument.Right now is the critical moment, and there is no room for him to hesitate for a moment.Cao Bin waved his hand towards Li Qiufeng, and then ran towards the stele.

Seeing that Cao Bin did not climb up the hill, but ran to the left, everyone was startled.It's just that the army of skeletons has already surrounded them, and everyone's hearts are already in chaos. Seeing Cao Bin running towards the stele, they can't help but follow.

After a while, everyone arrived in front of the stele.I saw that the stone tablet was more than one zhang high, it was very rough built, the surface of the tablet was uneven, and three large characters "Laobeipo" were chiseled on it.It's just that the handwriting is scribbled, and the chisel marks vary in thickness. It seems that someone randomly found a huge stone, chiselled it with an axe, and used it as a stone tablet.

Li Qiufeng remembered that the figure had disappeared behind the stele just now, and hurried around the stele, only to see that there was a path paved with gravel on the stele.This path is no more than two feet wide, allowing only one person to pass through. On both sides are hillsides, which are five or six feet high.Looking from here, the hillside looks like a steamed bun placed in the wilderness. A giant swung a knife and chopped it down from the air, splitting the steamed bun in two.

Seeing the gloomy and quiet path, everyone felt a little uneasy.Li Qiufeng said loudly: "Just now I saw a figure flash in from here. It looks like Gao Lishi. He ran ahead of us, and he abandoned the hillside and got into this path. Naturally, there is a reason for him. Let's Follow him, maybe you can avoid the pursuit of the skeleton soldiers."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to make up their minds for a moment.At this moment, a loud "chi chi" sound was heard behind him, and everyone turned pale with shock.After several times of entanglement with the skeleton soldiers, everyone knew that the sound was the sound of feather arrows piercing the sky.It seemed that the skeleton soldiers had already chased up and wanted to shoot everyone to death with random arrows.At this critical juncture, how can everyone hesitate for a moment?So Monk Xuanji took the lead, and with a flash of his figure, he bypassed the stele and ran forward along the path.Everyone filed in and ran forward desperately.The father and son of the Yang family still stayed behind the crowd, until Li Qiufeng and others rushed around the stone tablet and rushed into the path, the three of them followed.

Li Qiufeng walked around the stone tablet and stepped on the path with both feet, only to feel darkness in front of his eyes, and the surrounding area instantly darkened.Li Qiufeng was taken aback, and raised his head to look around.Only then did I remember that the sky was originally dark, and the hillsides on both sides were as steep as a knife, leaving only a ray of light above everyone's heads.Therefore, after entering the path, it is darker here than outside.

While running, Li Qiufeng drew out the police knife, trying to knock the flying arrows.It's just that after rushing into the path, no feathered arrow shot over.Surprised in his heart, he couldn't help turning his head to look at the sky behind him.There is only a very narrow line of sky above the head, but there is no shadow of Yujian.

Everyone ran forward desperately, originally thinking that this path would not be too long.Unexpectedly, after running for half a stick of incense, the road still has no end.Everyone was terrified, but the thunderous drums and iron hoofs behind them had disappeared, so they felt a little relieved.

Li Qiufeng couldn't help looking back while running, but he saw no one behind him except the Yang family and his son. Presumably, the skeleton soldiers didn't come after him.At this moment, Situ Qiao, who was running in front of him, stopped suddenly. Li Qiufeng was startled, and hurriedly stopped his steps so as not to hit Situ Qiao.It's just that although he stopped, Yang Yanzhao behind him was caught off guard, couldn't stop his feet, and squeezed onto Li Qiufeng's back.Li Qiufeng took a step forward, neutralized Yang Yanzhao's impact force, turned around and gently supported Yang Yanzhao, which helped him stabilize his figure.

I only heard someone shouting not far ahead: "It's strange, why is there a village in front?!"

Li Qiufeng recognized that it was Monk Xuanji who spoke, and was taken aback, thinking to himself that this path is extremely narrow, since there is a village, it must be the end of the path.However, if you can see the village, you can find the villagers to ask for the road, which is a great thing.Monk Xuanji said the word "strange", which is really puzzling.

Situ Qiao couldn't bear it any longer, and said loudly, "Hey, please move forward and give us a place to stand."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest grandson Guangming and others standing in front of him had already walked forward.Everyone walked forward one by one, and after a while, they suddenly felt a bright light in front of them, and they had already walked out of this narrow path.

Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief, and saw a huge basin in front of him, surrounded by continuous mountains of different heights.Hundreds of feet away from the exit of the small road, there are more than a dozen families scattered here and there.It's just that from a distance, the dozens of houses are low and simple, and most of the houses in several houses have collapsed.There is no cooking smoke in this basin, and there is no sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking. It is extremely quiet and eerie.

When everyone saw someone appearing at the beginning, they were naturally overjoyed, but when they saw the situation before them, they felt a little uneasy.

After a while, Monk Xuanji turned his head and said to Cao Bin: "Benefactor Cao, you are the leader of everyone, please give me an idea, what should we do next?"

Cao Bin pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "We have fled here, and we have no retreat. Although this place is very quiet and weird, it is better than facing the skeleton soldiers who are chasing us. Let's go to the village to investigate, if we can meet villagers, we can inquire about the way, and maybe we can escape from this place..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Su Yan "噫", and said in his mouth: "Then, isn't that Gao Lishi?"

When everyone listened to Cao Bin's words, they all turned to look at him, so they didn't pay attention to the situation in the village.Hearing Su Yan mention Gao Lishi, everyone was startled and hurriedly looked towards the village.But he saw a red-robed man get out of a thatched hut, and hurriedly rushed to another thatched hut that was not in the way.Judging by his figure and attire, he is undoubtedly Gao Lishi.

Seeing Gao Lishi disappear into another thatched cottage, everyone felt a little suspicious.Cao Bin said: "Since Gao Lishi has already arrived in the village first, we might as well go and have a look."

Yang Yansi has the most impatient temper, and has long been impatient to wait.Hearing what Cao Bin said, he rushed down the hill first.Everyone saw that Gao Lishi had entered the village, but they didn't want to be left behind, so they followed Yang Yansi to the village.The exit of the path is only three or four zhang away from the bottom of the slope, and everyone has reached the bottom of the slope after walking a few steps.But he saw a winding dirt road in front of him, leading directly to the village hundreds of feet away.The surrounding area is still a wilderness, with no trees or stones except squirrel grass.

Everyone walked quickly to the village.At this time, there were no skeleton soldiers chasing after him, and Yang Yansi was at the front again. Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao were afraid that he would lose, so they hurriedly chased after Yang Yansi, so Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao fell to the rear.After walking for thirty or forty feet, Situ Qiao suddenly lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng, "Brother Li, look behind."

Seeing Situ Qiao's expression was different, Li Qiufeng was startled, and turned his head to look as he said.It's just that after looking at it, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and stopped suddenly, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

Thirty or forty feet away behind him was a steep hillside.It's just that on the hillside, there is no exit from the path that everyone just stepped out of.

Seeing Li Qiufeng's astonished face, Situ Qiao smiled and said, "Brother Li, do you see it? Isn't this very similar to the passage on the stone wall under Hutou Rock?"

Li Qiufeng remembered that when he and Situ Qiao, Liu Yong and others were looking for Jingxin Temple, they first passed through a stone cave in a stone wall.After walking out of the cave, he discovered that there were dozens of openings on the stone wall, and the openings were constantly changing. The situation was extremely strange.According to what Situ Qiao said, those caves were laid out by Yao Guangxiao according to the innate gossip map, most of them are dead ends, if you step into it, there will be no bones left.Looking back at the hillside at this time, the intersection that I walked out just now disappeared. It is indeed quite similar to the stone wall in the cave under Hutou Rock.
