Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 99
Saying this means that he has stated his position.

Liu Suifeng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "You are a smart person, but you didn't expect to make such a stupid choice. There is often only one chance. Since you missed it, don't blame me for being ruthless! "

As he said that, Liu Suifeng made a move with his right hand, and he was about to lead someone to kill him.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing Liu Suifeng approaching, Li Canghai hurriedly yelled.

"Why, are you regretting it now?" Liu Suifeng snorted, and said with a cold gaze.

Li Canghai picked up the brocade box abruptly, and shouted: "If you go one step further, I will smash the brocade box to pieces!"

His eyes widened with anger, he picked up the brocade box and was about to slam it against the pillar behind him, seeing this, Liu Suifeng threw a slap in the face and stopped.

"Hand over the brocade box, or I'll kill him!" Hongyan grabbed Ma Shang and shouted tenderly.

Liu Suifeng was overjoyed, and then remembered that there was still a hostage in his hands.

Li Canghai looked at Ma Shang, not only did he not show any worry, but the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a strange smile.

"If you don't do it again, you will really turn into a ghost!" Li Canghai yelled without thinking.

Everyone's expression became tense, thinking that there was an ambush nearby, they looked around one after another.

At this moment, Ma Shang slipped his shoulders and easily broke free from Hongyan's claws. He flew to the nearby Jinshan Mountain like a ghost, and quickly punched out a few gold ingots.

Whoosh whoosh~
After several sounds of breaking through the air, Li Canghai only felt that his feet were empty, and several people cried out in surprise, and immediately fell down.

The sudden change caught Liu Suifeng and others off guard, he exclaimed, and hastily struck with his sword, but Ma Shang had long since disappeared.

Not only that, even Li Canghai and others standing in front of them were also missing.

"When hunting geese every year, I was pecked by wild geese. I didn't expect that I would miss it. This Ma Shang is actually a master!" Liu Suifeng cursed angrily, and then ordered people to look around for the mechanism.

Suddenly, the hall heard the sound of gears turning.

Liu Suifeng suddenly yelled: "Not good!"

Before the words were finished, countless clusters of arrows burst out from all around, like a rain of arrows, and there were screams in the hall.

But it was said that Li Canghai and others fell into a secret passage, and the secret passage was downhill, and they slid along the secret passage into a secret room.

Before they had time to look around, Ma Shang also slid down.

Almost at the same time as Ma Shang landed, Di Qing quickly grabbed Ma Shang's shoulder, and Ma Shang slipped his shoulder, dodging from her hand like a spirit snake.

"Qing'er, stop!" Li Canghai hurriedly shouted.

Di Qing's eyes were slightly cold, and she shouted coquettishly: "Your martial arts are so strong, are you an enemy or a friend?"

Ma Shang didn't speak, but looked at Li Canghai.

"He has no ill intentions towards us, and everyone is tired, so let's rest here first." Li Canghai said wearily, holding the brocade box.

Huiguang supported He Xiao and sat down against the wall. Di Qing sat beside Li Canghai holding the 'Chixiao Honglian' and looked at Ma Shang cautiously.

"How do you know that I have no ill intentions towards you?" Ma Shang asked.

Li Canghai smiled, "If you want to harm me, there are plenty of opportunities along the way, so why wait until now?"

Ma Shang also sat down, staring at Li Canghai, "Do you know who I am?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the ghost that often haunts Luofengji, am I right?"

Di Qing looked at him in surprise, and said, "You mean he is the ghost I chased a month ago?"

Li Canghai nodded, "It is this person."

Di Qing carefully recalled the situation at that time, and found that the figure of this person was indeed somewhat similar to the ghost of that day, and she couldn't help being a little sullen: "It's another pretending to be a ghost, I thought there really was a ghost!"

Li Canghai was speechless. He stared at Ma Shang and said, "I've already discovered that you're impersonating someone from the Gopher Gate. I remember all the people from the Hamster Gate who were imprisoned. The reason why I didn't expose you was because I wanted to know what you were going to do." .”

"Since you know I'm pretending, why do you save me again and again?" Ma Shang asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Because you are not a bad person." Li Canghai said lightly.

Ma Shang's expression changed strangely, and after a while, he said: "In Luofengji, I want to take your life."

"But I didn't die, and you didn't kill me." Li Canghai paused, then smiled slightly: "Besides, you saved my life and Qing'er's life."

"Do you know that I saved you before?" Ma Shang asked in surprise.

Li Canghai smiled and said, "I'm just guessing. You are far more familiar with this place than anyone else. Apart from you, it's hard for me to think of anyone else who will save us."

Di Qing was confused, she asked, "When did he save us?"

"A month ago, we came to this Nether Palace. We didn't know anything about it at the time, but when we woke up, we appeared in Luofengji. Do you still remember?" Li Canghai asked.

Di Qing was stunned, she looked at Ma Shang, and said in surprise: "You saved us at that time? You are not a ghost, who are you?"

There was a trace of confusion in Ma Shang's eyes, and he murmured: "I don't know who I am, I don't have a name, if you have to call me, just call me Ma Shang."

"No name? How could there be no name?" Di Qing was a little stunned.

"To be honest, I grew up in this Nether Palace since I was a child. My master was named Ye Shou. After my master left, I took on his title and also called him Ye Shou, but I don't know anything about his name. "Ma Shang shook his head and smiled wryly.

"According to what you're saying, you've been living alone in this 'Ghost Realm' all these years?" Di Qing asked incredulously.

Ma Shang nodded, "I've lived in this palace of the underworld for too long, and I don't know much about the world, so I often pretend to be a wandering soul and go to Luofengji. I don't want to meet you."

There was pity in Di Qing's eyes, no wonder he played tricks, it turned out that he had stayed here alone for too long.

Li Canghai glanced at the secret room, and couldn't help asking curiously: "How much do you know about this Nether Palace?"

"Actually, this Nether Palace was originally built by Emperor Taizong."

"Emperor Taizong? Why did he build such a dark palace here?" Li Canghai was taken aback. He never dreamed that this huge underground palace was actually built by Tang Taizong.

Ma Shang's face became serious in an instant, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "When Emperor Taizong was in power, his soul traveled to the underworld. I don't know if you have heard about it?"

"Wei Zhengmeng killed the Dragon King of Jinghe, and the soul of Tang Taizong returned to the underworld?" Hearing this, Li Canghai said subconsciously.

"Exactly." Ma Shang nodded.

Li Canghai's mind buzzed, isn't this the storyline in "Journey to the West"?Is there really such a thing?
