I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 167 Bronze Gate
Liu Qi walked along the tunnel. She deliberately slowed down her pace, thinking to keep a distance from Liu Zongxun and his party who entered the tunnel before her. However, when she reached about 300 steps, she still heard the sound coming from the front. Clear footsteps.

It was Liu Zongxun and his party.

Liu Zongxun's family of three, plus Shen Ying, the footsteps of the four of them with different weights were particularly clear in Liu Qi's ears.

So Liu Qi could only slow down his steps.

Now that she's gone, she can roam freely in the world, practice her sword skills and pursue the ultimate in martial arts.

All in all, to Liu Qi, the Liu family is just an insignificant part of their lives. After today, they can be said to be people from two different worlds.

Whether it's for Liu Qi's state of mind or for the safety of the Liu family.

Liu Qi felt that there was no need for too much entanglement between them.

Therefore, even if she agreed to Queen Mother Zhou Mi to escort the Liu family and their entourage out of the capital, Liu Qi did not intend to show up in front of the Liu family.

Sometimes Liu Qi couldn't help but wonder if Liu Xiangxiang had been a little more indifferent to her when she was in Liu Mansion, would it be less troublesome now.

As if he had caught Liu Qi's gaze, the muscular figure jumped directly from the platform several feet high, and with a "boom", he landed in front of Liu Qi. Ten paces position.

Rumbling--

She quickly turned around, raised her head and looked around, and saw an invisible platform on the stone wall on one side, and a strong figure was standing on the platform.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from Liu Qi's ear.

Directly opposite the stone gate, to the left of Liu Qi, stood a bronze gate several feet high.

It sounds amazing.

Liu Qi's heart trembled. She quickly grasped the scabbard at her waist with her left hand. Then she slowly turned her head and glanced around. After finding no one around, her eyes finally fell on the place behind her where she just stood. Location.

As he spoke, Kui Niu paused for a moment, his eyes seemed to flash, then turned around and said to Liu Qining, who looked indifferent: "You are the third person who can escape from the illusion within ten breaths. people."

He passed by Liu Qi and walked towards the bronze gate. He stretched out his big hand and gently touched the pattern on the bronze gate, and then said in a deep voice: "The general once said that this bronze gate is related to a long-lost secret art." , but for so many years, the general has not been able to understand its mystery."

The hall of the underground palace is brightly lit. Like the previous underground palaces in the suburbs of Beijing, this underground hall is completely excavated by hand. The surrounding stone walls are carved with decorations from unknown dynasties. Liu Qi even saw them on the stone walls. Characters that do not belong to the Central Plains.

After hearing what this person said, Liu Qi's eyes flashed with sparkle, then he nodded slightly and opened his lips lightly: "General Kui Niu?"

Liu Qi shook her head slightly, listening to the footsteps coming from the front, and then she quickened her pace slightly and walked forward.

Bang!
The fire snake hit the green aura that suddenly appeared in front of Liu Qi, and made a deafening explosion.

As the other person stood on the ground, Liu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and found that this person was not as tall as usual. He was like a giant, with a rough face, a leopard head and ringed eyes, and he was also looking at Liu Qi.

In less than a cup of tea, Liu Qi had already reached the underground palace hall that Bai Ze had mentioned.

Kui Niu shook his huge head and replied: "I don't know the exact origin of this door. I only know that anyone who practices martial arts will inevitably be pulled into the illusion when they see this door for the first time. middle."

At the moment when the sea of ​​​​fire swallowed up the bronze door, a ball of flame suddenly rose up and turned into a fire snake, attacking Liu Qi with its fangs and claws.

Then his eyes slowly returned to Liu Qi: "Your Majesty is still as discerning as ever."

Liu Qi's eyes suddenly condensed!
There is no burning sensation at all!
laugh……

So she pondered for a moment, and then asked bluntly: "What on earth is going on with this door?"

Only the pattern on the bronze door in front of me is still vivid.

"Are you Liu Qi?"

Immediately afterwards, the other party's hands slowly reached behind his back, and then he raised his head slightly: "Yes, I am Kui Niu."

An extinguished torch suddenly appeared in Liu Qi's sight.

The blazing sea of ​​fire and the fiery snakes with their fangs and claws had all disappeared.

Hearing this, the other party suddenly strode forward and stood in front of Liu Qi like a wall. Then he looked down at her for a long time, and finally raised his eyes to look at the bronze door behind Liu Qi, and said in a solemn voice: "Just now you It only took eight breaths to escape from the illusion.”

But Liu Qi's eyes suddenly flashed slightly, and then he stretched out his slender arm forward. The moment he passed through the Gang Qi, his fingertips touched the remaining tail flame of the fire snake.

The first of Tianzun’s four generals, Kui Niu!
Unexpectedly, before leaving the capital, Liu Qi met the most capable general under the general.

But there was only one thing that Liu Qi was very sure about. This underground palace must be very old. The decayed lampposts on the stone walls were the best evidence.

In the blink of an eye, the fire snake had already attacked in front of her. Liu Qi's pupils shrank suddenly. She could already feel that the air around her had become hot under the heat of the fire snake.

The visitor asked again, then his eyes moved away from Liu Qi's face, and then he said in a buzzing voice: "My dear, the second and third sons have mentioned you in front of me."

But at this time, Liu Qi's mind was not focused on the world-famous General Kui Niu in front of him. Instead, he glanced at the bronze gate behind him with his peripheral vision.

She had just heard Kui Niu mention the word "illusion" with her own ears, and from what he said, it seemed that it was extremely remarkable for Liu Qi to escape from the illusion of the bronze gate so quickly.

It was carved with a mountain wrapped in an endless sea of ​​fire. As Liu Qi's gaze stayed on it for a longer time, the flames carved on the bronze door seemed to come alive. It actually began to sway and rise, instantly swallowing the bronze door into the sea of ​​fire. middle.

Liu Qi moved his eyes away from the stone wall, then looked around and found the stone door Bai Ze mentioned, right in front of Liu Qi.

Liu Qi's eyes instantly filled with solemnity. She didn't know when she had crossed dozens of steps and arrived in front of the bronze gate.

Everything just now... was an illusion?
Liu Qi's heart sank.

"Are you Liu Qi?"

Liu Qi immediately realized that something was wrong, and then her face darkened. A trace of pale mist gradually filled her eyes, and little white frost appeared on the light cyan aura.

As if a huge thunder exploded in his ears, Liu Qi's figure swayed slightly, and then his eyes quickly closed. When he opened his eyes again, the ancient bronze door suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, just within Liu Qi's reach. Location.

The carved patterns on the bronze door instantly attracted Liu Qi's attention.

Liu Qi also took the opportunity to glance at the bronze door. Except for the pattern engraved on the door that reminded her of the situation in the environment just now, she did not see anything mysterious.

What martial arts would be left on a door?
Liu Qi quietly withdrew his gaze, and then said softly: "General Kui Niu, Liu Qi has something important to attend to, so I won't bother you."

Kui Niu nodded silently, then turned around, with his back to Liu Qi, as if he was sizing up the several-foot-high bronze door.

Liu Qi glanced at Kui Niu's burly back, then turned and walked towards the stone gate opposite.

According to Kui Niu, she had only stayed in the environment for less than eight breaths. Including the time spent talking to Kui Niu, Liu Zongxun and his party should not have gone far yet.

Liu Qi felt the wind at her feet and ducked in front of the stone gate. Just as she was about to step into the stone gate, she suddenly heard a loud "rumbling" sound coming from the depths of the stone gate.

Rumble--As a loud noise came from the depths of the stone gate's secret passage, Liu Qi felt that the entire underground palace began to shake.

Kui Niu, who had been looking at the bronze door, was also attracted by the loud noise. He saw its burly figure leaping high and then landed next to Liu Qi'er. His eyes were fixed on the secret passage behind the stone door and he frowned. :"What happened?"

call--

As soon as Kui Niu finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly rose in the secret passage, and then a strong wind surged out from the stone door.

Standing in front of the stone gate, Liu Qi's figure remained motionless, but her black hair was dancing wildly and her clothes were fluttering in the wind.

Her face was solemn, and she stepped into the stone door directly facing the strong wind.

When Kui Niu saw this, he opened his lips and wanted to say something, but Liu Qi's figure had disappeared behind the stone gate, so he closed his mouth, stared at the stone gate, and slowly backed away. .

It wasn't until he retreated to the center of the hall that Kui Niu took a deep breath, then withdrew his gaze and jumped towards the small platform protruding from the stone wall.

After entering the stone gate, Liu Qi used his body skills to the extreme, walking through the narrow secret passage at extremely fast speeds.

The sounds and movements just now gave Liu Qi a familiar feeling.

Back in the forbidden area of ​​Baixi Villa, when Mu Qingfeng, a remnant of the Huaqing sect, blew up the only exit of the forbidden area, the sound was exactly the same as now.

Suddenly, Liu Qi's figure stopped suddenly.

She saw a petite body lying on the ground in a curled up position in front of her. Judging from the figure, it seemed to be Shen Ying.

Liu Qi tapped her foot lightly and flew to the opponent's side in an instant.

It was indeed Shen Ying!
Hearing the breathing between Shen Ying's mouth and nose, Liu Qi felt relieved, and then put his hand on her pulse gate, and a stream of pure Qi was injected into her body.

"Cough cough..."

As the true energy injected by Liu Qi moistened Shen Ying's internal organs, Shen Ying slowly opened her eyes after a rapid cough.

At this time, there was no light source in the dark passage, and he could not see his fingers. So when Liu Qi noticed that Shen Ying had woken up, she whispered: "It's me."

When Shen Ying woke up, her eyes were completely dark. Just as she was panicking, Liu Qi's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and she couldn't help shouting: "Sister!"

Although he couldn't see clearly, with the sound just now, Shen Ying struggled to squat down and looked in the direction of Liu Qi with a look of joy.

Liu Qi reached out and touched Shen Ying's little head, and then asked softly: "What happened? Where is Master Liu and his family?"

Shen Ying shook her head: "Ying'er doesn't know either. We followed the instructions of the big brother in white and entered the secret passage through the stone door of the main hall. Not far away, Ying'er suddenly fainted when her vision went dark, and then... she woke up now. .”

As she spoke, she shook her head, which was a little dizzy and aching, looked in the direction of Liu Qi with a sad face, and asked, "Sister, is something wrong?"

Only then did Shen Ying realize that she and Liu Qi were the only two people left here. Liu Zongxun's family, who had been with her just now, had disappeared.

Shen Ying called softly: "Sister Xiangxiang?"

Of course no one responded.

Liu Qi stood up straight in silence, looked at the dark passage in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "No need to shout, they are not here."

At this time, Liu Qi only thought of a possibility, that is, Liu Zongxun finally made a choice, and he did not choose to save his family as Queen Mother Zhou Mi thought.

Da da da……

A burst of footsteps came from the depths of the secret passage, heading towards Liu Qi and the others.

More than three people!
Liu Qi understood immediately, so he pulled Shen Ying and turned back in the direction he came from.

When Liu Qi brought Shen Ying back to the underground palace, they found that Kui Niu was missing. Liu Qi's eyes instantly looked at the raised platform on the stone wall.

No matter who the visitor is, they have worked so hard and may have only one target, and that is the general hiding in the underground palace.

In fact, when Kui Niu appeared, Liu Qi had already guessed that General Zhou Weiyang was probably hiding in this underground palace.

rustling...

Suddenly, a faint sound came to Liu Qi's ears. The source of the sound was the protruding platform on the stone wall. Soon Liu Qi saw Kui Niu reappearing on the platform.

Kui Niu seemed to have anticipated Liu Qi's return. His eyes glanced at Shen Ying at Liu Qi's hand, and then moved to Liu Qi. After staring for a moment, he said coldly: "Miss Liu, the general invites you in. "

Liu Qi's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, but he didn't reply and had no intention of leaving.

Kui Niu's eyes suddenly darkened when he saw this, and then his tone became colder: "Is Miss Liu worried that the general will drag you down?"

Liu Qi remained silent, but Kui Niu's words did hit her mark.

Today's scene was clearly aimed at the general. If the road ahead was not blocked now, Liu Qi would not have wanted to come back and swim in this muddy water, so she looked towards the tunnel where she had just come.

The road ahead has been cut off, and I don’t know if the road we came from is still passable.

Liu Qi's demands were not high. As long as she was allowed to leave this underground palace, with her martial arts skills, it was not impossible to break out of the capital with Shen Ying.

But Kui Niu also saw Liu Qi's thoughts, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Miss Liu, if I were you, I would definitely reject the general's invitation now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kui Niu turned his head sharply, and Liu Qi's eyes invariably looked towards the tunnel leading to the General's Mansion.

After a while, a beautiful figure walked out first.

"Miss!"

Even though there was a heavy look of worry on his face, Zhou Mi, who still couldn't hide his natural beauty, heard Kui Niu's voice and just glanced up at him, then looked at Liu Qi in the center of the hall:

"Xiao Liuqi...it seems that you and I have to work together today."

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and before she could speak, she heard Zhou Mi's soft voice again: "Fu Qingshu has joined forces with the emperor, and among those who came today... Jiang Jiyu."

Liu Qi didn't finish speaking, she just stared at the tunnel exit behind Zhou Mi, and soon two more figures walked in with support.

Bang!
As soon as they entered the underground palace, a tall figure suddenly fell to the ground.

Liu Qi instantly smelled the smell of blood.

Another slender figure emerged from the tunnel and quickly rushed to the side of the fallen man: "Second brother, second brother..."

Kui Niu, who had been standing on the platform, couldn't help but change his expression when he saw this, and then jumped up and came to the two of them. He only glanced at the man lying on the ground, and blood suddenly filled his eyes.
