Chapter 77 The White Codex
"Light the torch and watch out for the wolves."
The sky was getting darker and darker, Li Qing ordered the soldiers to raise the torches, the beasts were afraid of the fire, although the brightness of the torches was not very strong, but it could barely scare off some beasts.
Qing asked White and said, "Are there many wild wolves here on weekdays?" ”
Bai Fang shook his head and said, "Although there are many birds of prey and beasts in Qinling, this Ao Peak has Uncle Gongsun hunting all year round, so under normal circumstances, there are not too many wild beasts, but I don't know why it is so weird today." ”
"Whew~"
As the night fell, the wolf howl gradually approached, Li Qing and the others held a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, taking care of each other, and continued to sprint to the top of the mountain.
"Oh my God, what's going on here?"
Suddenly, a Qin soldier let out an exclamation because he accidentally stepped on a mutilated corpse under his feet.
Bai Fang hurriedly flipped the corpse, his eyes showing deep unease, and when he saw the corpse's face clearly, he sat down on the ground.
"It's the little seven......"
White recognized the corpse, it was the partner with whom he grew up, looking at the partner who died tragically, and then thinking of the wolves, White felt a great unease in his heart.
"No, although this person's body was eaten by wild beasts, there is still a sword wound on his body, and he was killed."
After checking the corpse, he said, as soon as these words came out, Li Qing couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, if he was attacked by a wild beast, Li Qing could understand it, but if he was killed, it means that something happened on the mountain.
Looking at the eleven people around him, ten elites of the Qin army, and one Qing who may be martial arts, Li Qing couldn't help but hesitate, with such a little strength, if something really happened on the mountain, I am afraid that these people will really be more than lucky.
Qing frowned and said: "If we retreat now, I am afraid that we will be attacked by wild beasts, if we continue to advance, I am afraid of danger, what should we do?" ”
Li Qing regretted leaving those dozens of Qin soldiers at the foot of the mountain, if there were a hundred elite Qin soldiers, even if something happened, Li Qing didn't have to be afraid, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was extremely terrifying.
A middle-aged soldier in the Qin army said, "My lord, why don't I go down the mountain and call all the brothers up?" ”
When Li Qing heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, it's too dangerous for you to go down the mountain alone, so far, we can only choose to go up the mountain, if there is really an enemy on the mountain, they should have already discovered us, and looking at the appearance of this corpse, it should have been dead for three or four days, maybe the person who killed him has left." ”
White drew his sword and said angrily: "I must find the person who killed Xiao Qi, and I will avenge Xiao Qi." ”
Li Qing patted Bai Fang's shoulder, and then ordered to go up the mountain, at this time, Li Qing and the others were only a few hundred meters away from Bai Qi Temple.
Soon, Li Qing and the others came to Baiqi Temple, only to see that the entire temple was surrounded by corpses, many of these corpses had weapons in their hands, obviously, they experienced a wave of resistance, but the resistance failed.
"Uncle!"
White suddenly rushed to a half-kneeling corpse and wept loudly.
This is an old man with gray hair, he holds a seven-foot long sword in his hand, and even if he dies, he does not let go of the weapon in his hand.
There are many wounds on the old man's body, but the fatal wound should be a sword wound in the abdomen, this sword is pierced into the old man's body head-on, which shows that the enemy's strength is very strong.
In addition to the old man, there were hundreds of corpses around, although many of these corpses were eaten by wild beasts, but after Bai Fang identified, he still recognized the identity of these corpses, all of which were the corpses of the descendants of the old Bai Qi, but I don't know who caused these murders.
"Let's go inside."
Li Qing and the others took their weapons and walked towards the temple, Li Qing could already be sure that the enemies who killed the descendants of the old Bai Qi should have left, so there should be no danger in the temple, but in order to prevent accidents, Li Qing and the others did not choose to put away their weapons.
Baiqi Temple is not very big, there is a majestic statue in the middle of the temple, this person is Wu'anjun Baiqi.
The statue of Bai Qi was wearing a black scale armor and holding a big sword in his hand, but at this time, the offering table in front of the statue had been overturned, and the temple was full of corpses, and there were even many corpses of children and women among the corpses.
"These damn brutes."
Li Qing's eyes showed anger when he saw those children who had died tragically, and Bai Fang was even more grief-stricken, because these people were his old friends and relatives.
Qing looked at the statue of Bai Qi, and said with some doubts: "What is the purpose of those people coming here?" Killing the descendants of these old soldiers who have returned to the mountains and forests can't be out of hatred, right? ”
Qing's words made Li Qing come back to his senses in an instant, yes, no matter what you do, you have to have a motive, no one will kill people for no reason, either for money or revenge, the descendants of these old pawns rarely leave Aofeng, so the possibility of seeking revenge should not be great, but if it is for money, it is impossible for these people to have wealth that makes people blush.
Li Qing looked at Bai Fang, who was sitting on the ground, and asked, "Bai Fang, do you know any enemies who will come to Ao Feng to seek revenge?" ”
Bai Fang shook his head and said, "Uncle Gongsun doesn't allow us to go down the mountain at will, the reason why I was able to go down the mountain is because Uncle Gongsun said that as a descendant of the Bai family, I should go to the army to have some training, and no one else is allowed to go down the mountain except me, so we shouldn't make enemies." ”
"It's not revenge, then it must be for money."
Qing said softly, but there were doubts in his words, obviously, Qing was also wondering, what could attract others to kill so many people by the descendants of a group of retired veterans.
"For the sake of money...... Could it be ......?"
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Bai Fang's eyes, and then he hurriedly got up and ran towards the Bai Qi Statue.
Li Qing and Qing glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed Bai Fang, who came to the statue of Bai Qi, first knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and then went straight to the back of the statue.
And so it was...... Who exactly? ”
Behind the white statue, a big pit was smashed out, it turned out that the statue was hollow, there should have been something in it before, but now this thing should have been taken away.
Bai Fang cried: "In this statue, there is my grandfather's codex, which records my grandfather's method of using arms, and this matter is known only to Uncle Gongsun and my father, and since my father's death, only Uncle Gongsun and I know about it, they ...... They ......"
