49. The gates of hell

The blacksmith certainly doesn't turn himself into a sword target. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the three swords struck, he also took a step forward and slowly stabbed a straight shot.

The three swords were as fast as lightning, and the three of them swarmed up, barely making them visible. But his shot was gentle, and it stretched out flat, like a hand that was only stretched out to caress a lover.

However, it was such a gentle shot, but it unexpectedly forced the masked woman in front of her to fly upside down.

As soon as the masked woman withdrew, the blacksmith reversed the gun, and the gun went down his side and then behind him. He turned his head at the same time, and the gun swept at the two men who were almost about to pounce on him. It was still the slow shot, and the bodies of the two masked women, who were about to move forward, suddenly stopped, and then they jumped backwards at the same time.

The three of them stepped forward at the same time, but they burst out almost at the same time. They looked at the gun in his hand and seemed to be in disbelief for a moment.

The blacksmith drove the three men back with a blow, and with a single pick of his gun, he picked up two pieces of wood and threw them into the water, where the gap was still writhing.

That is, at the moment when he was distracted, the sword wind rose again, and the two figures approached again.

The blacksmith raised his gun, and it was still a mediocre shot. The two of them struck the sword, and after hearing only two proper sounds, they retreated again. And just then, another sword from the blacksmith's back struck, and it was within reach of him behind him.

The sword had come just in time - the blacksmith had knocked back the two men in front of him, and it was impossible to take care of the back at this time and turn back. The sword was sharp enough, and no matter how hard he dodged, it should be able to stab him directly into his body.

The masked woman stared at his back, a hint of smugness in her eyes. She flew over to be under the cover of those two people, so that he could no longer be guarded. She stabbed her sword diagonally, but the blacksmith had not turned around, and the gun in his hand was still stretched out in front of him, and he had no time to return it, let alone turn around.

She stared at the gun in his hand and thrust her sword out. His body is huge, and he can hit his "sword target" well without looking at his body. She only paid attention to his gun at the moment.

Not only would the masked woman think he would dodge, but the other two who retreated thought the same thing. As soon as they retreated, they steadied themselves with their feet, and for a moment they lunged at him again—he had to take care of the two men behind him, and they would take advantage of the weakness again, so that even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to resist their combined blow.

The masked woman behind the blacksmith stabbed her sword, aiming at his body, but to her surprise, she suddenly saw a gun stabbing at her. When she found out, she was taken aback, for the spear, which was longer than her sword, stretched out at her so flat.

The blacksmith didn't turn around, and he countered the masked woman behind him with the barrel of his gun. The barrel of the gun struck her so that her body was crooked by dodging, and then he swept the barrel of the gun to the side, and it swept over her body. The masked woman screamed in surprise and fell to the side.

Next to it was a pool, and she fell straight down, "plopping", and splashed a big splash.

The other two women were waiting to step forward, and they were stunned for a moment, but they were even more angry for a moment, and the two swords pounced on them with more fierce momentum at the same time.

The blacksmith swept the woman into the water with a single shot, and without looking at her, drew the gun back, and the gun went out smoothly forward.

When the two masked women saw the gun again, they seemed a little jealous, and the sword slowed down for a while. It was this hesitation that they knew they had lost the opportunity.

The blacksmith sensed their fear, but the gun in his hand did not slow down, and stabbed straight at them. He reached between the two, and they both retreated at the same time.

They had to retreat, for the spear was like a living thing, and whoever wanted to move forward, it would turn against her.

The two women retreated, and one of them was unexpectedly mixed with the wooden block under her feet, and fell down for a while. The blacksmith's gun was pointed at her. The woman was shocked and saw that the gun was close in front of her.

There was another exclamation, and with a "plop" there was a second splash of water in the pool.

The remaining masked woman was almost stunned on the spot - there was a shout, and footsteps suddenly sounded. I saw more than a dozen torches lit up in front of me, and a group of people rushed in in a neat and orderly manner. They stood in a row on one side of the bridge, and the blacksmith and the masked woman were surrounded there.

Ten of them, dressed in official uniforms, with crossbows in their hands and ten others with torches and knives, rushed in and aimed their crossbows at the blacksmith and the masked woman.

The water burst into flames, and suddenly two figures jumped out of the water, and the two of them stepped on the empty heads that were still in the water, and jumped onto the opposite shore at once.

Three masked women stood in front of the wall. The crossbowman stepped forward and surrounded them.

At this time, two people had already jumped into the water and pulled the empty gap to the shore.

"You can't run away! Catching them with your hands should be your wisest choice!" a young catcher walked over and looked at them coldly. This person is none other than the Void.

The three masked women looked at their waiting formation, and seemed to be at a loss for a moment, and they all stayed there with their faces on their faces.

The blacksmith stood silently. In the face of such a majestic, solemn and majestic officer and soldier, he felt his own eclipses, and even felt that he was insignificant.

Empty and pulseless stood there, with a grim face: "Attacking the dukes, despising the royal law, plotting against the wrong, and if you don't lay down your weapons, you will be treated as resisting arrest and killed!" As soon as he said this, the crossbowmen put their hands on the crossbow's bracket - if they moved at all, the crossbow arrow would shoot them mercilessly into hedgehogs.

One of the three masked women suddenly laughed at this time: "Little catcher, I heard that you are strictly enforcing the law, and when I saw it today, I realized that it really deserved its reputation!"

Empty and pulseless: "What I killed is you people who form gangs, jackals are in charge, have evil thoughts, and murder people with hidden arrows and open guns, if it weren't for you, this world would not have become so smoky and dark." ”

The masked woman laughed more and more: "I said that the little catcher, you are forcing those vicious words on our heads, what kind of trouble is the crime of this official family's desire! We just can't sleep at night, and we go out to shop casually, dare to ask when you see us with evil thoughts and murder with hidden arrows and guns?"

"Did you dress like this and go out shopping in other people's houses?"

The masked woman said, "Then how do you conclude that we are harmful?"

Kongwumai said: "So I want to bring you back, and you will obediently cooperate and confess." Otherwise, you really don't know the height of the sky, and you are not afraid of the majesty of the king's law!"

The masked woman said: "This little head catcher is really meticulous, it seems that we really have no choice!"

At this moment, the empty gap that had just climbed up from the water suddenly shouted: "Then what are we waiting for!

The crowd immediately pressed forward.

A masked woman shouted, "Are you really going to take us?"

There is no gap: "In the middle of the night, the three more are covered and sneaky, either traitor or thief, I will take you above board!"

"What is above board, I think you are a communiqué personal vendetta!"

"I, the communiqué personal vendetta?" was stunned for a moment.

"We just pushed you into the water, and we didn't do anything too much to you, and you have a grudge, isn't this a communiqué personal vendetta?"

Still soaking wet, he wiped his face and exclaimed, "I haven't been shameless enough yet! It's too late for you to stretch out your hands now, if you wait for us to make a move, you will be caught eating, it will be a little unsightly!"

A masked woman said: "It doesn't matter, you are our defeated general, you were thrown into the water just now, and we stepped on your head, so you want to save some face, which is understandable......" Before she finished speaking, the empty pulse had already waved her hand, and the hard crossbowman pressed forward again.

Everyone was about to move forward, when they suddenly heard an exclamation, and saw a masked woman in her hand, and suddenly she grabbed a person. A woman.

The woman was dressed in a white dress with a casual ponytail. When the blacksmith saw it, he was taken aback, and it was Xiao Mi who fell into her hands.

The masked woman wrapped one hand around her neck, and a sword was directly on her neck.

When the crowd saw that, they stopped for a moment.

Kongwu took a step forward and said with a stern expression: "Since you said that there is no malice, but now you are implicating innocent people for no reason, even if you are innocent, you will not be able to say it clearly!"

A masked woman laughed: "Although you are telling the truth, I still have to admire your transmuted tone. Even if we are innocent, but your formation still refuses to let us go easily, and things have come to this point, most of this is due to you!"

Empty said: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, reversing black and white." Wrong is wrong, and it is in vain for you to explain and distort, and I will give you one last chance now. He held out his hand, "As long as you release the hostages, I will ......"

"Will you let us go?"

Gapless: "I'll open the net—"

The masked woman interrupted him with a sneer: "Enough, only a ghost will believe your words." Let's open the skylight now and say something clear, giving you two choices: first, we go and she can save her life, and second, she will die with us at your hands. ”

Empty stood there, looking at them coldly.

The three masked women and the little girl who was being held under duress all looked at him. At this time, not only them, but also the blacksmith, as well as all the officers and soldiers present, were almost waiting for his reply. Except for the man with the hard crossbow, everyone else couldn't help but look at him.

With a wave of his hand, he shouted in a calm voice, "Let them go!" As soon as he said this, even the person holding the crossbow turned back in disbelief.

As if she knew that he would make this decision, the masked woman smiled and said, "You are so cute!" and the two men behind her stretched their hands towards the high wall, and two hooks popped out of their wrists. The rope hooked up to the top of the wall, and the two women climbed up with agility and stood on the top of the wall.

The masked woman looked empty: "I'll tell you finally, in fact, we really came out to shop." She winked mischievously at him with a smirk, and then she removed the sword from the young man's neck. "Baby, now you're free! thank you!" she said in her ear, stroking her face with her hand.

Xiao Qi turned his head and watched her slowly take two steps back, grabbed the two ropes with one hand, and then the two people on top jumped that way, and she catapulted. She went up to the wall, glanced at the crowd again, and then she jumped down and disappeared behind the wall.

Before everyone could step forward, they waved their hands and said, "Don't chase them, let them go." He gathered everyone together for a while, and ordered to go down, "After our investigation, we learned that there are countless missing cases in Luoyang, and there is a lot of suspicion here. They tried to kill for money, and finally destroyed their bodies. This garden is often visited by people who cannot enter or leave, and now we will search all over the place, even digging three feet into the ground, and also find those who are missing - pay attention, we are officers and soldiers, not bandits, and we have some weight in our hands!"

The people immediately answered and immediately scattered with torches, and searched in the garden in twos and threes. However, they were still virtuous, and they only looked carefully with their eyes, or touched suspicious places with their hands, but they did not turn over boxes and cabinets to make a mess.

The blacksmith also went to help him in the morning.

When the two of them went out to the path in front of the garden, there was no gap and no pulse. From time to time, those officers and soldiers gathered in a bunch, and they all reported that they had searched all over the place, but they did not find any secret passages in the closed room.

"No?" Empty Gap seemed to be unwilling to listen, and turned his head to look around again, "Did they fly out with wings?"

Xiao Qi said on the side at this time: "Since there is none, then let's look elsewhere!"

When the two went out, they saw that the officer had also withdrawn.

"By the way, the sun-obscuring medicine basket is still there!" Xiao Qi thought for a moment.

The blacksmith said, "Since the man has not been found, we should help him bring things back!" The two of them turned back for a moment.

Because they had just gone out to the door, and when they came back, the officers and soldiers were still walking out one after another. There are only two people left inside, the empty gap and the empty pulse. The blacksmith explained the situation, and then walked in with Xiao Mi.

"Did you find anything?" said Void as he looked at their past backs.

Empty Pulse: "Found what?"

The void only said a word in a quieter voice, and the void stood there, stunned for a moment.

The blacksmith and the blacksmith were out of the room, and when they came to the front of the courtyard, the officers and soldiers were gone, including the two of them.

The two stood on the straight granite stone road, under the lantern, facing the gate.

Xiao Qi looked at the rockery trees on both sides and said, "They said that there are countless missing cases in Luoyang, and there is a lot of suspicion here." They tried to kill their lives for money, and they also destroyed their corpses. Do you think what they're saying is true?"

The blacksmith said: "That empty catcher is a capable person, and what he said may not be groundless!"

Xiao Mi listened to this and said in his heart: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be more auspicious to come here in the sun?"

The blacksmith said, "They are just guessing, and didn't they search this place just now and find no clues?"

Xiao Qi looked around again and said, "But his things are here, where will he go in the middle of the night?"

The blacksmith said: "It's really a little strange, how can there be no one in such a big garden, could it be that the medicine seller has suddenly become a little leisurely, and he can't go out with the female patient in the middle of the night! If that's the case, then it doesn't hurt for us to wait here a little longer! Maybe they'll be back in a while!"

Xiao Qi said: "If that's the case, it would be great!" Although she said this, she didn't have a relaxed expression. The blacksmith looked at her and said, "Otherwise, let's go and sit down here, your body has not yet recovered, and you can't stand such fatigue." ”

He sat down with him on a stone bench made of granite next to him.

The blacksmith still held the iron gun in his hand, sat there and looked around, and sighed: "Don't say it, this place is deserted, if it weren't for this gun, it would really make people feel a little hairy in their hearts." ”

Xiao Qi also looked at the side, but couldn't help but shiver, pulled his huge arm, sat close to him, and said, "Don't scare me, if even your big man is scared, then I won't have nothing to rely on?"

The blacksmith could only comfort her: "Don't be afraid, with me, a god-like person, the ghosts and gods will be afraid of me!"

Xiao Qi laughed when he heard this: "I don't know why, staying with you always makes people feel safe, as if they are no longer afraid of anything." ”

The blacksmith said: "That's right, my figure is not for decoration." ”

Xiao Qi said: "There is also the one who sells medicine, I feel that he is also a good person, and when I see him, it will also make people feel a sense of security." ”

Blacksmith: "He's a good man, and he was born with a heart to help people with medical treatments. However, good people are always not rewarded, you see that he is in order to help people see a doctor, and now he is even getting in, and I don't know whether he is a blessing or a curse!"

Xiao Qi said: "I hope that Ji people have a heavenly ......"

The blacksmith put the gun aside: "Let's wait slowly, I hope the guess of the head catcher is wrong, and I hope he just went out for a shopping ......" Before he finished speaking, suddenly a "rolling" sound trembled, startling the two people sitting on the stone bench, and the two hurriedly let go of themselves to the side and stood still. When I looked at the source of the sound, I saw that the rockery rock next to the road suddenly moved to the side.

When the stone had stopped, and for a while nothing unusual was seen, the blacksmith had the courage to go over and look, and there was a hole in all directions where the stones had been piled up.

The two of them were about to step forward, and at this moment, two people walked out of the garden without a gap and a pulse.

"How did this hole open?" stood in front of the entrance of the hole, looking at the two of them with sharp eyes.

"We wanted to sit here and rest for a while," said the blacksmith, and I leaned my gun against this stone, and a hole was opened here. ”

Void seemed to be satisfied with his explanation: "No wonder we searched all over and didn't find it, it turns out that the dark room is so hidden!" He walked up to the rockery, examined it carefully, and found that a small stone was embedded in the big stone. When he touched his hand, the small stone sank in, and when he heard the sound of "rolling", the rockery was activated and moved back to its original position.

The empty pulse was also very interested, and when he stepped forward and pressed it, the rockery slowly moved away.

When they walked to the entrance of the cave, they saw a faint light coming from inside, and a sloping staircase stretched to the bottom.
