Chapter 453: Entering the Tiger's Den by Mistake
The air in the mountain belly is still not very good, Qi Ning went up, the little demon girl chattered on his back, Qi Ning didn't pay attention to her, walked for half an hour, finally couldn't hear her voice, turned his head to look, only to see her head lying on her shoulder, actually asleep. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Her injuries were not light, and such a toss was obviously sleepy.
After walking for half a pillar of incense time, I suddenly saw that there were stone steps in front of me and went up, and I was slightly happy in my heart, and secretly thought that since there are stone steps here, it is very likely that there will be an exit here, and I accelerated my steps slightly, and went up along the stone steps, this stone step is about thirty or forty steps, and I got to the momentum, but I found that there was no road, and the road to go up was blocked.
Qi Ning was suddenly disappointed in his heart, he didn't expect this to be the result, he carefully put the little demon girl down, sat on the stone steps against the wall, the little demon girl was still asleep, he walked up the last stone steps, looked up, and found that what was blocked on it was a large stone slab, not a heavy object like a rock.
The big stone slab looked quite smooth, the color was blue, Qi Ning's eyes rolled slightly, and he immediately thought that this must be the exit, since the secret passage in the belly of the mountain is very secret, it is naturally to block the entrance, and it is impossible to shine in the light easily.
He was about to raise his hand to lift the stone slab, and suddenly it occurred to him that he didn't know where this exit was, if it was open in a remote place, it would be fine, but if it was set in some strange place, or even under the nose of the black face, he had to be careful, and immediately put his ear on the bluestone slab, hold his breath, and listen carefully.
There was a dead silence, and no sound was heard.
Qi Ning waited for a while, then raised his hands and held the bluestone slab, slightly exerting force, but he felt that he did not move at all, frowned, and added some strength, the bluestone slab was still difficult to shake.
Qi Ning thought to himself that if it was just a bluestone slab, it would never be so heavy, could it be that there was another mechanism on it, but this was the only exit, if he didn't leave from here, he could only be trapped in the corridor, so he wanted to transfer his internal force, but he had experienced it before, and he didn't know if his internal force would lead to the resurgence of the blazing true qi, so he hesitated.
But then I thought about it, I have that cold ice true qi of unknown origin in my body, even if there is a scorching true qi, there is that cold ice true qi to protect the body, but there is no need to be afraid, at the moment I transfer a trace of internal force to the palm of my hand, the dantian and the meridians everywhere have no sense of discomfort, and when I urge a little bit, the force reaches the palm, and the bluestone slab really moves slightly.
Qi Ning was happy in his heart, and then did not hesitate, the internal force urged, but the bluestone slab was lifted by him little by little, although he did not hear any movement, but he was still quite cautious about the situation outside, he did not dare to make a sound, little by little moved the bluestone slab, revealing a gap, found that the outside was still dim, gently put down the bluestone slab, grabbed the edge, and raised his body slightly, revealing his head.
The outside is quite dim, the strange thing is that there is a faint fragrance floating in the air, the fragrance is elegant, Qi Ning breathed the turbid air in the corridor for a long time, and suddenly smelled this faint fragrance, and immediately felt relaxed and happy, and the whole body was full of Tongtai.
He made sure that there was no one around, so he jumped out and looked around, with a look of surprise on his face.
It seemed to be a boudoir, the room was not very large, there was a tooth bed in the middle, the bed was low, the furnishings in the room were quite simple, but it was unusually clean, it looked almost spotless, he looked back, and at this time he also saw clearly that what he was holding up was not a bluestone slab, on the bluestone slab, there was a dresser made of pure black stone.
He has seen a lot of dressers, but a black stone, it is very rare, this dresser is very exquisitely made, and a bronze mirror sneaked into the stone, there is no gouache jewelry on the dresser, it is empty, the tent of the gum is low, but it is opened from side to side, there is a silver hook hanging, and there is no one on the gum.
Qi Ning frowned, he didn't know whose residence this was, but one thing was certain, he was already on the Lotus Peak.
He was thinking about going down again to take the little demon girl out, and then he thought, this place is very strange, he is not sure where it is, and it is inevitable that it will be inconvenient to take the little demon girl out, it is better to find out the surrounding situation first, determine where he is, and then it is not too late to calculate.
And the little demon girl has not woken up yet, look like that, it will not be a problem to sleep for another hour, worried that when she leaves here to investigate the situation, the little demon girl may wake up early, leave from here, pick up the bluestone slab at the moment, slowly move over, and reseal the hole.
There is no doubt that this is a boudoir, is this underground corridor owned by women? The Burning Sun Divine Palm in the stone room was actually carved by a woman?
Qi Ning was full of suspicions, and did not delay, lightly went to the edge of the door, looked out through the crack in the door, and there was no trace, everything was quiet, then he opened the door, went out, took it with him, held the cold blade in his hand, and touched it into the darkness like a ghost.
There are many corridors in the four miles, passing through two corridors, suddenly hearing the sound of small footsteps, Qi Ning immediately dodged and hid behind a pillar, and soon, he saw three men in black coats with cloth scarves on their heads walking over, all holding scimitars in their hands, and at a glance at the clothes, Qi Ning immediately recognized them as Black Lotus Sect members.
Qi Ning's heart sank, what he was most worried about was that the exit was set up in the Black Stone Hall, the lair of the Black Lotus Sect, and he had just walked around, and he had already faintly felt that it was very likely to be in the Black Stone Palace.
The road in the belly of the mountain has been going upward, obviously coming to the top of the Lotus Peak, according to Qi Ning, on the top of the Lotus Peak, is the Black Stone Hall, the main altar of the Black Lotus Sect, and there can be no other houses.
The three Black Lotus Sect members walked by quickly, Qi Ning frowned, seeing that they were about to disappear into the darkness, he didn't hesitate any longer, and stepped up lightly.
He practiced leisurely steps, but he had already learned a set of extremely clever light skills, and he was really silent at this time.
The three members of the sect turned two corridors and stopped in front of a door, and Qi Ning looked over, only to see two other guards in front of the door.
I heard one person say in a deep voice: "The Holy Envoy has an order, all the Black Stone Hall is poured with oil, and you should prepare immediately." ”
Both guards bowed down and said yes, and one couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to pour fuel?" Don't...... Going to burn down the Black Stone Temple? ”
The man sneered: "The thieves of the eight gangs and sixteen factions have surrounded the Black Stone Hall and will not withdraw, it seems that they want to besiege us to death, the Black Stone Hall is the holy land of our Black Lotus Sect, we must not let them step in for half a step, even if it is burned to ashes, they cannot be allowed to desecrate the temple." ”
The guard immediately said, "We have a lot of hostages in our hands, don't they even care about the lives of these hostages?" ”
"What's a good thing you're doing to be one of these people?" The man said: "Half of these hostages who were captured are the leaders of various gangs, and the Han gangs seem to be walking together, but they are just a group of rabble, intriguing with each other, and we are only afraid that many people will want them to die here." ”
The guard also sneered: "Since they want the hostages to die, let's fulfill them." ”
"Sprinkle the fuel first, if those thieves never retreat, when the Holy Envoy gives an order, we will light the fire, and I will live and die together in the temple."
The other voices were solemn: "Swear to live and die with the Temple!" ”
Only then did the three sect members turn around and leave, Qi Ning immediately hid, and waited until the three sect members left, then he looked over there again, and only heard one person say: "I'll go get fuel, you wait here first." ”
The remaining guards nodded, and the other person left quickly, Qi Ning saw the two guards guarding the door, and immediately thought in his heart, these people are guarding here, could it be that in this house, they are the hostages who have been captured?
He didn't know the battle situation, but when he heard the conversation between a few people, he vaguely judged that now Qunhao had trapped the Black Stone Palace, but there were many hostages in the hands of the Black Lotus Sect.
Qi Ning pondered, now that the Black Stone Hall was full of people from the Black Lotus Sect, it was impossible for him to leave the hall by himself.
This black stone hall looks like it is going to be burned, and if you stay in this black stone hall, you will naturally be burned alive.
He can naturally return to the corridor under the boudoir dresser, and he can avoid the fire, but once the Black Stone Hall is burned and destroyed, the entrance to the cave will inevitably be completely blocked, and both sides will not be able to go out at that time, and it is impossible for Qunhao to help clean up the debris and broken bricks after the collapse, and he and the little demon girl can only starve to death in the corridor at that time.
The only hope for survival is to find those hostages, if possible, rescue them, there are many people, even if they can't defeat the Black Lotus Sect at that time, but everyone is eager to win, and they work together to fight a bloody way to break out, it is not impossible.
If this is really a place where hostages are imprisoned, it is naturally a godsend, perhaps because they are in the Black Stone Palace, the guards are also a little relaxed, and if they miss this time, they are afraid that they will not have a chance again.
He thought for a moment, his figure flashed, he had already attached himself to the wall, and slowly approached the past, like a ghost, the Black Lotus Sect members did not find it, there was no fire in this corridor, it was very dim, and it was ten or so steps away, Qi Ning took a deep breath suddenly, kicked his feet, and the whole person had already rushed towards the guard like a cheetah.
The guard felt the strong wind coming, naturally he didn't think that there were other people in the Black Stone Palace, turned his head to look, and saw that a black shadow had rushed in front of him, and a pair of cold eyes were staring at his throat, this guard immediately knew that something was wrong, and it was too late to resist, and he was about to sound the alarm, when the cold light flashed, the cold blade had pierced his throat, and his voice was suddenly blocked in his throat and could not be made.
Qi Ning's shot was crisp and neat, accurate and ruthless, the guard's eyes were violent, full of horror, Qi Ning had already pulled out his throat, and the guard's body shook and fell backwards.
Qi Ning looked at the gate at this time, only to see that the door was very heavy, it was made of black wood, and the door was even locked, he looked through the crack in the door, there were really a few lampposts erected in this room, and it was clearly seen that there were dozens of wooden pillars erected in this house, and on each wooden pillar, there was a person tied to it, and look at the clothes of those people, it was the people of the eight gangs and sixteen factions.
