Chapter 45: Xuanwu Military Order
Taolin Village:
Wu Cheng said that he would finish off Qi Yu with his own hands, giving the fat man the opportunity to fight alone. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just bitter Qi Hao, except for the horse thieves who guarded the villagers, the rest of the people surrounded him.
The villagers all sweated for the thin man. Where Qi Hao alone is the opponent of this group of fierce horse bandits, one of them is enough to dismantle them with one sword.
Qi Hao's fierce finger sword quickly attacked, and he was about to hit the horse thief, but he saw that the scimitar on the side had arrived, so he had to retract his arm and turn his body sideways to avoid the blade. Qi Hao retreated, and even exposed his back to the horse thief in the rear.
The bandit naturally wouldn't let go of this gap, and raised his knife to slash Qi Hao's right shoulder.
Qi Hao didn't look back, and greeted him with his fingers against the wind of the scimitar falling. The second index finger clamped the blade tightly, and the volley stabilized the knife momentum. Goodbye to his wrist turning, strong finger power is to break the scimitar in half!
The horse thief missed, and Qi Hao turned defense into offense. He kicked the ground, quickly turned around, and unleashed the armor-piercing blade against the position the horse thief had just been in!
However, the sword misses and does not hit anything. The horse thief withdrew from a gap in time, and Qi Hao failed to succeed.
There are no great tricks, and it is useless to miss the enemy.
The horse thieves seem to be well-trained and will not fall in love if they miss. Even if they have an absolute advantage in numbers, they will not be reckless when a group of people surround and kill one person.
It doesn't matter if you can't hit the enemy, if you can create a gap and take the opportunity to get out of trouble. But as soon as the horse thief retreated, two other people immediately stepped forward to fill the position with a triangular momentum, attacking and retreating.
The two sides come and go, but it is difficult to get it, and there is a stalemate for a while.
A few days ago, Yuan Xing had fully explained what it means to be invincible with two fists and four hands. Unless the strength is absolutely overwhelming, after dozens of rounds, once the physical strength is exhausted, it will be full of flaws. Qi Hao's martial arts foundation is not as good as Yuan Xing, and the nine-character sword seal duel has only been practiced as the first form. Unarmed, he really couldn't break through with just one move to break through the armor.
Fortunately, Qi Hao's spell worked today, showing his might! I saw him take out the rune paper from his arms, and shouted: "Hurry like a law, fix the order!" ”
Every time the thin man dodges an attack from a person, he will take the opportunity to throw the talisman sticker at the opponent. The flying runes seemed to have a life of their own, chasing the horse thief. Some were attached to their arms, some were glued to their backs, and the swirling runes didn't even let go of their foreheads.
The horse thieves who had been labeled with rune paper immediately froze in place, motionless.
In an instant, there were already ten "human piles" around Qi Hao.
The horse thieves present were also amazed, and they didn't dare to step forward easily, they were afraid of falling for this Taoist priest's trick. Although Qi Hao is not a wind, fire, thunder and lightning, he can't make people disabled instantly. But if people can't move, aren't they also slaughtered at will!
Seeing that the horse thieves had stopped their offensive, Qi Hao wiped the sweat from his cheeks. He was already very satisfied with being able to fight for such a situation at the moment, and finally got a chance to breathe.
But Qi Hao didn't mean to attack the "human pile" around him, he was still groping for the rune paper in his arms. However, after rummaging through it for a long time, he didn't find anything, and it seemed that there were only a few pieces of rune paper left on his body.
It's okay, it's still a try! Qi Hao cheered himself up in his heart.
"Five thunder generals, train generals, soaring to the ground, driving thunder and clouds, fighting tens of millions, commanding divine soldiers, opening the flag and calling urgently, no stopping. Haste as a law! Command the Order! ”
The ten horse thieves, like puppets pulling strings, moved in unison, gathered at Qi Hao's side and protected him in the circle!
And he himself is like a ghost and god, the corners of his eyebrows are raised, his expression changes suddenly, and his whole body is even more golden!

Xuanwu Palace:
As soon as they entered the tomb, a large stone screen stood in front of them. Su Wuqian and Yuan Xing passed on both sides of the screen, one on the left and one on the right.
Behind the screen, two stone statues of turtles are erected. No, one to be exact, it's just cut in half longitudinally and separated on both sides, with a gap in the middle that allows two people to pass side by side.
"What kind of stone statue is this? The shape is so strange! Su Wuqian's voice echoed in the tomb, which showed the huge space here. She looked around into the darkness, trying to find clues in the mural. However, it was only pitch black, and the lights near the screen had limited light, and they could not reach the distant stone wall.
Yuan Xing focused his attention on the stone statue in front of him. Starting from the turtle's head, the stone statue splits into two pieces from the center line, and the dividing surface is not smooth, with many protruding edges and depressions. The other half of the stone statue on the other side seems to fit just right.
"Miss Su! You push the stone statue on the other side towards me! Let's see if we can merge them together! ”
When the woman heard this, she leaned over, leaned on the turtle statue, and pushed hard. Su Wuqian squeezed the words out of her clenched teeth while struggling: "This ...... But the stone statue! You see it's not moving, how can it be so easy to push ......."
"Keep it up!" Wang Yuanxing encouraged.
"Push harder...... You should be pushing the stone mill! What the hell are you doing here? ”
Listening to Su Wuqian's complaints, Yuan Xing explained, "What kind of place is this? The tomb of General Beizhan! Didn't you find that this stone statue was exactly the same as the thing that symbolized Soluwen's identity in the Qilin tomb above? ”
"Symbolizing his identity...... What could it be? Su Wuqian quickly rummaged through the ropes in her mind, she shouldn't have missed any details.
"Northern Zhan Talisman!"
"Talismans? What does it have to do with this broken turtle statue? Isn't that kind of thing supposed to be called a tiger talisman? ”
"That's right, Da Yan's talismans are usually tiger talismans, but the shapes used by the emperors of the past dynasties are also different. Generally speaking, there are differences between different countries, and the Lin, Fish, or Rabbit charms are all common. The Northern Zhan is divided into two with the turtle as a symbol, the right half is kept in the monarch, and the left half is handed over to the commander. ”
As he spoke, the stone statues on both sides shook under the force. After a "click", both of them stumbled, and the stone statue obviously closed a position! It was like a gear that had fallen into disrepair and had reapplied oil, and when Su Wuqian exerted force again, she found that the stone statue was obviously much easier to push than before.
Yuan Xing took advantage of the situation to exert his strength and combined the turtle stone statues on both sides into one, which fit perfectly. The statues stopped moving, but the ground beneath them roared.
When the basalt stone door was closed and the way out was sealed, the huge dark space suddenly lit up with candlelight, reflecting a shocking scene, which made Yuan Xing and Su Wuqianzhen tremble.
"My ...... Heaven ......" The woman was already shocked and couldn't close her mouth.
The place where the turtle statue is located is a high platform in the burial chamber. At the bottom of the high platform, there are rows and rows of coffins, neatly and densely displayed in the main hall of Xuanwu Palace. It's too many to calculate.
"Four vertical and five horizontal ......"
What Yuan Xing refers to is the law of the placement of coffins. Although it was shocking, this aroused Yuan Xing's strong curiosity. He walked down the stairs and looked at the magnificent coffins in front of him.
"Twenty coffins for a while......" Yuan Xing was still muttering to himself.
He found that the coffins were made in units of four columns and five rows, forming a small array. Between the arrays, there is a gap between the front, back, left and right. And in the center of the array at the forefront, there is a banner painted with the Moon Gate Pit Viper.
"As far as the eye can see, I am afraid that there are no less than three hundred coffins. Outside of the candlelight, you still can't see the ......" Yuan Xing said to Su Wuqian, who also walked down the high platform and approached him, "You have seen a lot of ancient tombs, have you ever seen this battle?" I wonder what Miss Su thinks? ”
Su Wuqian held her trembling arms and said uneasily: "Xuanwu Palace is directly below the Qilin Palace. The so-called main tomb is on top, and the martyrs are at the bottom. These people were supposed to be close relatives of Soluwen during his lifetime, close attendants, or even prisoners captured in the war. In short, they were all victims of martyrdom! ”
Human martyrdom is a bad custom of burying a living person in a funeral, which has existed since ancient times. The founding emperor of Dayan had long since abolished this cruel and barbaric act. However, until the fall of Northern Zhan, human martyrdom was still widely popular, and it was repeatedly seen in the funerals of those high-ranking officials and nobles.
"The Son of Heaven and the princes were killed, many hundreds, and few dozens; Generals and doctors were killed, many dozens, and few...... And the scale of this place is already difficult to judge with common sense! Soluwen is a demon! ”
Su Wuqian's uncomfortable reaction was not only because of the tragic scene here. That kind of uneasiness comes from the deep hatred of cruel killing in my heart!
"Is it just a martyr...... Yuan Xing had another even more terrifying guess in his mind, he looked back at the high platform and sighed, "Four vertical and five horizontal, the array is accessible, and the soldiers are waiting for it, and the method of placing the coffin is like the art of Qimen Dunjia." And the soldiers on the point general platform have been closed...... It looks like Soluwen's underground army no matter how you look at it. Needless to say, you can guess what's inside the coffin, right? ”
"Zombie Army!?" Su Wuqian asked incredulously. At this time, she would rather Yuan Xing was talking nonsense, "You...... You're not kidding! Is he going to take a group of dead people to fight for the four ......?"
As if to confirm Yuan Xing's words, the coffin in the tomb began to move, and suddenly there was a crackling sound of wooden planks breaking.
Yuan Xing and Su Wuqian hurriedly rushed back to the high platform, and under their eyes, a black zombie wearing silver armor broke free from the coffin, and there was a silver tide and black waves in an instant.
The resurrected corpses looked at the platform, roaring, and rushed forward.
"Discipline! What about the well-trained soldiers? How can you make a mess and kill it?! Su Wuqian leaned her back against the screen and jumped to her feet in a hurry, looking like she was about to cry.
Yuan Xing looked around, and there was nowhere to escape.
"Damn it!"
