Chapter 419 Mutual Shadows
As my feet moved back and forth in the flames, my voice began to get higher and higher, and the long howl in my mouth was like a sharp arrow piercing the clouds, and the sound moved between the clouds, and suddenly the wind and clouds around the stupa changed color, and the wind suddenly rose.
I couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and the soles of my feet couldn't help but slow down by half a minute. γ
I didn't have anything on my feet that could prevent fire, and I was able to jump on the flames because I was fast enough, but now I suddenly stopped, and the beating flames instantly burned my ankles, and I almost fell off the tightrope, so I quickly stabilized myself and stepped on the tightrope again.
When I looked up again, there was already a raging storm near the Tiger Hill Tower, and the candlelight on the tower was pulled by the wind and tilted in one direction, but none of them were extinguished.
I couldn't help jumping off the tightrope and stood in front of the tower with my hands behind my back, Ye Xun quickly put on the golden wolf mask and quickly asked, "Do you know shamanism?"
I didn't move at Tiger Hill Tower, "Don't you know if I can be shamanistic?"
"I bought it casually on the side of the road. Ye Xun was also skeptical: "The quality of the current candle can be so good?"
Even if an ordinary candle is as thick as an arm, it doesn't want to last more than ten seconds in this kind of wind speed, but the candle flame that fills the body of the cloth has lasted for more than a minute, and not a single one has been extinguished.
I was staring at the candles on the tower, and suddenly a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the entire Tiger Hill Mountain flickered and darkened under the light of thunder, and countless bizarre images flashed and swayed in the mountains, like thousands of demons breaking through the barrier between yin and yang from the netherworld.
In the next moment, the rain poured down on the mountains, and after only a few moments, the fire around me was mostly extinguished by the rain, and it was only a matter of time before it was completely extinguished.
However, all the candles stood still in the rainstorm, even if a raindrop fell into the candle flame, at most it exploded a candle flower, but it could not shake the jumping flame.
At this point, even I couldn't help but gasp.
If I didn't know how many catties I had, even I would have to believe that it was my own actions that attracted the gods to come, otherwise, how could I explain everything in front of me?
I stood in front of the candle flame in the sky and was dumbfounded, Ye Xun suddenly whispered: "Look at the Thousand Blood Stones!"
I suddenly looked back at the Thousand People Stone near the Sword Pond, the whole stone had changed color in the rainstorm, and the whole boulder seemed to have been washed by human blood, and it was a dazzling red color everywhere from top to bottom.
The light smoke stirred up by the torrential rain on the stones was steaming in the sky, and purple-brown figures were slowly emerging on the Thousand People Stone, as if there were countless souls kneeling on the stones and wailing loudly to break out of the stones.
I was feeling my scalp tingling when the rainstorm in the sky seemed to have received some kind of order, and it stopped abruptly at the most violent moment.
I looked at the tower in amazement, rows of rain mixed with ash slowly flowed down from all around the Tiger Hill Pagoda, and the bricks and tiles on the tower were washed away by the rain, as if the rainstorm was specially held to wash the Tiger Hill Pagoda to welcome the arrival of a certain god.
In the next moment, the candle standing on the top of the tower was suddenly extinguished, and when the blue smoke of the candle flame was disillusioned like a ribbon curling into the air, the candle, which was still crimson, faded its red makeup in a moment and turned into a miserable white color.
I couldn't help but look at Ye Xun, but he threw out a leftover red candle from his bag.
There is no white ash when offering incense, Ye Xun can't buy white wax, but who has ever seen red wax turn white?
Ye Xun and I looked at each other, and the lights on the tower went out again.
That's it
The candle flame, which was still fearless just now, goes down one layer every once in a while;
The Thousand People Stone, which was still floating in the figure just now, returned to its original state, like a ghost returning to the netherworld;
The light and shadow that was still dancing wildly on the mountains just now have long disappeared, and there is silence in the mountains.
Everything on Tiger Hill Mountain seems to be dormant in an instant, welcoming the arrival of the demon god.
I was looking up at the candles on the tower in a daze, when suddenly there was a gunshot near us, and a few bullets that passed through the air crashed into the candles on the tower in the blink of an eye.
When I turned to the place where the gunshots came from, the nearby gunshots rang out one after another, and at that moment, at least a dozen people were hiding nearby to shoot at the candles on the tower, and the candles were shot into the sky, and Ye Xun and I dodged and ran to both sides of the Tiger Hill Tower at the same time.
Before the two of us could rush to the vicinity of our opponents, we suddenly saw two figures flying towards the vicinity of Tiger Hill Tower, rushing straight towards the gate.
"Not good!" Ye Xun and I shot at the same time, and pulled the trigger on the backs of the two of them in unison.
Although I don't know which side the two people who suddenly popped up belong to, one thing I know very well is that the other party doesn't want me to succeed in enlightening the spirit, or rather, he plans to forcibly break away from the Tiger Hill Tower to see if there is any enlightenment.
In every way, I'm going to have to keep them out of the tower.
But as soon as I raised the gun in my hand, the two men had already rushed to the door of the Tiger Hill Tower.
Before I could pull the trigger, two sword lights shot out from the gate of the Tiger Hill Tower, and the cold light that broke through the door was dyed with a layer of blood after only two feet of shot.
I clearly saw that the two swords were in no particular order, passing through the throats of the two people, and the Tiger Hill Tower also opened the door in an instant, and Xia Qingqing, who was holding a long sword in one hand, stepped out of the door and stood proudly between the two corpses.
When Xia Qingqing's cold eyes swept around the Tiger Hill Tower, he only said two words, "Be punished". The faint sound in the nearby grass stopped abruptly, and I couldn't help but feel a chill on my body, and looked at each other cautiously.
Xia Qingqing fell to the ground softly the moment she met my eyes.
I pushed Ye Xun: "Ask someone to block the scene, no matter who is nearby, no one can be let go." β
When Ye Xun sent the command outside, I rushed to Xia Qingqing's side in a few steps and dragged her into the tower.
Even though Xia Qingqing was already unconscious, he was still clutching the long sword in his hand.
It took me a lot of effort to take the sword in her hand, and then Ye Xun also followed the tower from the outside: "How is it?"
I carefully looked at the long sword and said, "This is the ancient sword Panying of the Spring and Autumn Period. β
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "Didn't Panying be buried with the tomb of King Wu, how could it be in Xia Qingqing's hands?"
According to legend, the three thousand swords buried by King Wu include two famous swords, Panying and fish intestines.
As soon as I was about to speak, I heard the sound of dense footsteps outside the towerβa large number of soldiers surrounded the Tiger Hill Tower, and someone knocked on the door and said, "Chief, a total of sixteen corpses have been found outside." β
"All move in!" I said, closing the door and never coming out of the tower.
The troops guarding outside blocked Tiger Hill until the next morning, and then began to continuously mobilize manpower to pump water out of the sword pool, until the sword pool was emptied for most of it, and Ye Xun and I still did not show up.
Feng Qianli, who was guarding the outside and observing the situation from afar, finally couldn't sit still, and quietly sent someone to loot away a soldier who was responsible for guarding the tower.
Feng Qianli didn't dare to kill anyone, but he could use the secret medicine of the No Ghost Sect to reveal the other party's secrets.
After some inquiry, Feng Qianli's face quickly changed: "Fooled, Wang Huan is playing with the golden cicada to get out of his shell and go to find Bai Wuchang." β
Feng Qianli found Bai Wuchang for the first time, and said, "I want to cooperate with you." β
Bai Wuchang looked at Feng Qianli with cold eyes: "The Divine Exploration Arm does not cooperate with the Ghost No Sect, please!"
Feng Qianli said coldly: "Could it be that the Divine Explorer would rather watch Wang Huan take away the secret of the red face than cooperate with us?"
Bai Wuchang sneered: "Wang Huan doesn't have that ability. β
"But Wang Huan has already left, and the others are not in the Tiger Hill Tower. Feng Qianli said angrily: "You still don't understand, is Wang Huan smarter than you?"
Bai Wuchang looked at the other party and said, "Where else can he be if he is not in the Tiger Hill Tower?" Is it the Lingxiao Treasure Palace?"
Feng Qianli suppressed his anger and said, "I have already taken the secret out of the mouth of an officer, and all of our men died by the sword that night. The fatality of each corpse is in the throat, and a sword kills without dragging mud and water. β
"And there were no footprints left on the scene, unless someone stood on the blade of grass and made a sword, otherwise, no matter how high the opponent's skill was, it was impossible not to leave any traces. β
Although Bai Wuchang's face changed with it, he said, "What does this mean?"
On behalf of Wang Huan, Qiling succeeded. Feng Qianli said angrily: "In addition to the ghosts that he got back, what else can kill so many of our masters in a row without leaving a trace?"
Feng Qianli said again: "Moreover, I got the news that Wang Huan sent someone to secretly send an ancient sword back to the research institute, and that sword is called Zhuanzhu. Whose burial goods is the Zhuzhu Sword, who is the soul attracted by Xia Qingqing, and where did Wang Huan Jin Cicada go out of its shell, do you think for yourself?"
Feng Qianli asked three questions in a row, and Bai Wuchang was also dumbfounded by the other party, and after a while, Bai Wuchang called out to someone. whispered a few words, and when the latter walked away quickly, Bai Wuchang also put on a smiling face: "Brother Feng, you have come from afar, why don't you sit down and drink a glass of water and wine? β
Of course, Feng Qianli didn't have the heart to drink, he touched the wine glass lightly and sat there and stopped talking, but fortunately, not long after, the person who was sent out by Bai Wuchang rushed back and whispered a few words in his ear in a row.
Bai Wuchang's face changed slightly: "Brother Feng's judgment is right, Wang Huan is not in the Tiger Hill Tower. I agree to work with you. However, you have to bear the charge of killing Wang Huan. β
"Hehe......" Feng Qianli sneered, "What benefits can you give us from the Divine Exploration Hand? Let me take on such a big stake?"
Bai Wuchang said: "How is the context of a forbidden area?"
Feng Qianli's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is this true?"
Bai Wuchang opened his hand and showed it to the other party, he was obviously holding something in his hand: "If you don't believe me, you should believe him." β
Feng Qianli slapped the table suddenly: "This thing is done! Let's leave now and intercept Wang Huan." β
