13th (14th of the first lunar month)

Li Ke picked a ride, got out of Long'an Division, and galloped towards the Luoshui River, he knew in his heart that Keduo's next target must be the ghost city, or the ghost city must also be within Keduo's elimination plan.

Today, Chen Wuji was arranged to kill Wang San, but unfortunately something went wrong and Li Ke saw through, Keduo must be secretly observing, if Chen Wuji confessed, he would be killed, if Chen Wuji could keep the secret, then he would choose to rescue. At this moment, Chen Wuji is out of danger, so the only thing that intersects with Keduo in the entire Luoyang City is the red-haired Yama of the ghost city, and the red-haired Yama also seems to know the secret of Kule Duotina, with Keduo's style of acting, the red-haired Yama will definitely die, unless... The two are one and the same; Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, there are two black-clothed masters today, could it be that one of them is the red-haired Yama? If the two join forces, with the red-haired Yama's relationship network, methods, and Keduo, it will be endless troubles for Luoyang!

Li Ke pulled the galloping horse, just now the matter was urgent, he didn't think much about it, he just cared about going to the ghost market, but at this moment, he thought about it, if the two of them are really a gang and join forces together, then he has no chance of winning, he needs help! He did not hesitate any longer, pulled the reins of his horse, and ran towards the hut.

A moment later, Li Ke came to the thatched hut, Pei Min seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and had already stood outside the house to greet Li Ke, seeing Li Ke's nervous expression, he thought that something must be wrong, otherwise he would not have returned to the thatched hut at this moment.

When Li Ke saw Pei Min, he didn't wait for the salute, and hurriedly said: "Brother Pei, I want you to help, I must set off as soon as possible at this moment, and I will talk about it on the specific road." ”

Pei Min knew that something was urgent, so he didn't ask any more, turned around and went back to the hut to get his sword; At this time, Yuewa came out of the hut with the sleeping little Taibai in her arms, and when she saw Li Ke, she stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?" You are so flustered, do you still need Brother Pei's help? Could it be that things are really too sinister? ”

Li Ke reached out and touched Xiao Taibai in Yuewa's arms, and sighed lightly: "Don't hide it, I may have met the most powerful opponent in my life, and I have to use Brother Pei to help at this moment." ”

After hearing this, Yuewa couldn't help but look flustered, and asked anxiously: "Who can make you like this?" Is there no other way? ”

Li Ke shook his head and said: "This is a big matter, maybe it involves the lives of many people, I can't retreat, I will talk about it again when I come back, and you can take care of your son with peace of mind." After that, Li Ke took the token of Long Ansi from his waist and handed it to Yuewa, and continued: "A few days of observation, I see that Li Sanlang is a reliable person, after I leave with Brother Pei for a while, in order to protect the mother and son, you can take the child to the East Palace to find Li Sanlang, and I and Brother Pei will go to the meeting after the incident." ”

Yuewa looked at the token, nodded slightly, and said with ruddy eyes: "I know that I can't persuade you, be careful in everything, think more about me and the child." Li Ke couldn't help but have some ruddy eyes, at this time, Pei Min had changed his clothes and took out the sword, Li Ke didn't say anything more, said goodbye to his wife and children, and rode off with Pei Min; On the way, Li Ke roughly told Pei Min about today's events, Pei Min also looked solemn after hearing it, he knew that this friend of his own, crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, has been rare to meet opponents, even he needs help at this moment, the opponent must be extraordinary, Pei Min does not dare to despise it.

A moment later, the two finally came to the Luoshui River, they found the stone platform, but when they approached, Li Ke's heart was instantly uneasy, only to see that there seemed to be some traces of burning candles on the candlestick, could it be true that Keduo took the lead? Li Ke hurriedly lit the candle according to the rules and waited for the result.

After a while, a small boat came by, and on board was a ghost servant, masked; Li Ke gave him a secret signal, and the ghost servant let Li Ke and the others get on the boat. Li Ke carefully looked at the ghost servants on the ship, generally speaking, the ghost servants in the ghost market have some physical defects, but the ghost servants in front of him seem to be in good health, Li Ke immediately raised his vigilance when he saw this, and handed Pei Min a look, Pei Min understood; The ghost servant blindfolded the two men as usual, and they sat cautiously in the middle of the boat, listening carefully to the movements around them, and discerning the direction in which the ship was traveling; Martial arts have reached the realm of Li Ke and Pei Min, if they are serious, even if they are blindfolded, they can discern the direction and judge the surrounding things.

The direction of the boat is indeed a ghost city, and the surroundings are very calm, Li Ke secretly thought that it was difficult for him to worry too much? Despite this, he did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, and carefully guarded his surroundings. After a while, the boat finally stopped, and according to Li Ke's inference, it should have arrived in the ghost market. The ghost servant helped the two to the shore, and then guided the two all the way forward, Li Ke carefully noted down the route of travel, and finally the two were brought into the ghost market hall; The ghost servant stepped aside, the hall was very quiet, there didn't seem to be even a sound of breathing, Li Ke asked loudly, "Can we take off our blindfolds?" ”

The ghost servant just now replied, "No! Li Ke has been to the ghost market a few times, every time he enters the hall of the ghost market, someone will help take off the blindfold, but this time it is so strange, he can't take off the blindfold, Li Ke noticed the strangeness around him, he was ready to draw his sword, and asked again: "Why not?" The ghost servant didn't answer again, and suddenly a gust of wind hit Li Ke, Li Ke felt a chill, Li Ke suddenly reacted, what kind of wind is this? This is sword qi, Li Ke immediately drew his sword out, blocked it, and shouted: "Brother Pei, be careful, there is an ambush!" ”

Pei Min also seemed to have noticed the abnormality, and at this moment he also drew his sword, took off the blindfold with one hand, and prepared to fight; Pei Min took off his blindfold and found that the room was already full of people, at least a dozen people, but he didn't even notice when the two of them came in, what kind of masters these are, they can control their breathing to the point that even Li Ke and Pei Min didn't notice it, but at this time, the two of them were no longer allowed to think about it, and more than a dozen people had already attacked with swords in their hands.

Li Ke's block is also timely, if it is slow for a moment, it must have been hit by the sword; These more than ten people have fast swordsmanship and peculiar body skills, none of them are ordinary masters, Li Ke and Pei Min are facing each other with their backs and protecting each other, but the incident happened suddenly, and the two of them can only be tired for a while, if they are not careful, they will be injured by the sword, Li Ke felt a sudden fear in his heart, fortunately with Pei Min's help at this moment, if he came here to take risks by himself, then it must be more than auspicious at this moment. Li Ke has been a difficult opponent since he entered the rivers and lakes, before he lost to Keduo last time, Pei Min was able to draw with him, and the red-haired Yama Luo lost half a move to him, and the others were vulnerable to him, but more than ten masters suddenly appeared in front of him, which couldn't help but catch him a little off guard, and the entire ghost market hall was a moment of swords and swords, in this case, not to mention Li Ke, even a hidden person like Pei Min, was also surprised; Fortunately, after dozens of rounds of fighting, Li Ke and Pei Min gradually got used to their opponents' sword moves, so that they would not fall behind, but it was also very difficult to win, and the two sides were deadlocked and difficult to solve for a while.

Pei Min responded to the battle while paying attention to the other party's moves, in order to seek a way to crack it, and slowly saw some clues, he said loudly to Li Ke: "The opponent's moves seem to be regular, like a kind of sword formation!" ”

After Pei Min's reminder, Li Ke also reacted, no wonder the other party's attack was so powerful, it turned out to be caused by the sword formation. If this sword formation is created by a master and practiced properly by everyone, coupled with a variety of changes in the order of moves and attack methods, it will greatly improve the combat effectiveness, even if the ordinary swordsmen are combined in one place, it will also greatly increase the overall power, and at this moment the two of them are trapped in such a sword formation.

Li Ke began to observe their sword moves and body steps, this move was somewhat familiar, it seemed to be... Li Ke looked around, quickly looked at the location and number of people in the array, he finally understood what kind of formation this was, and he said loudly to Pei Min: "Brother Pei, this should be the Four Elephants Bagua Sword Formation in the Western Regions!" ”

"Four elephant gossip sword array" Pei Min has heard of it, but has never seen it, according to legend this sword array created by a Taoist master, according to the eastern green dragon, the western white tiger, the southern Vermilion Bird, the northern Xuanwu of the four elephants array, each side of the four elephants and two people to assist the defense, respectively, Qian, Kun, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Dui, Li, this sword formation needs a total of 12 people, the four elephants gossip mutual assistance, mutual change, attack and defense intersect, varied, each direction has a different way of attack and sword moves, very exquisite, It is difficult for the opponent to guard against, if it were not for Li Ke and Pei Min in the formation at this moment, I am afraid that he would have already been defeated, and even if only one of them is afraid it will be difficult to win; Li Ke secretly exclaimed in his heart, this sword formation that has been lost for hundreds of years, he has only heard of it, but he never thought that Keduo would be able to understand it, and he would also practice these twelve people together to this point, who is this Keduo? I have the ability to do this.

Pei Min asked loudly: "Now that we know the sword formation, how can we break it?" Brother Li can do it? ”

While Li Ke was busy parrying, he said loudly: "Although this sword array is changeable and difficult to deal with, I am convinced that there must be a way to crack it!" Maybe the bell must be tied to the bell! Since this array originates from the four elephants and gossip, the biggest possibility is to find a way from the gossip. ”

Pei Min felt justified after hearing this, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Li is reasonable, there are rest, injury, life, Du, Jing, death, surprise, and opening eight doors in this gossip, maybe this is the way to crack it!" ”

As soon as Pei Min said this, Li Ke suddenly smiled and said: "It is worthy of Brother Pei, I thought of a way to crack it so quickly, so since this is the case, we will work together to attack the two gates of life and death, I estimate that this is the formation of the entire sword formation, once the formation is broken, this formation will be chaotic!" After that, Li Ke looked around again, he locked the position of Shengmen, pointed with his sword, and signaled Pei Min, Pei Min understood, so the two joined forces and attacked Shengmen together, the man couldn't resist for a while, and was stabbed by the two and fell to the ground; The two of them did not hesitate at all, and together they attacked the door of death in the opposite direction, and in the same way, the person of the door of death was powerless to parry, and was also stabbed and fell to the ground; As soon as the door of life and death fell, the entire sword array was suddenly in chaos, everyone was fighting for themselves, and the power of the attack was greatly reduced, Li Ke and Pei Min seized the opportunity to start attacking everyone, Li Ke shouted to Pei Min: "Keep your mouth alive!" Pei Min nodded.

After a while, these twelve people were finally stabbed and knocked down by the two, and Li Ke and Pei Min also stopped attacking and prepared for interrogation; But one of them suddenly took the lead and shouted: "Kuledotina! Everyone then echoed loudly, Li Ke couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and he was a little distracted, only to see twelve people vomiting blood from their mouths for a while, and fell down in response!

"Don't!" Li Ke shouted at them, but it was too late, he knew that this was another poison hidden in the mouth of the dead soldiers, and these twelve people were not saved! Li Ke couldn't help but let out a long sigh and fell to his knees, feeling extremely depressed.

Seeing this, Pei Min walked over, patted Li Ke's shoulder gently, and whispered, "Brother Li, let's check the corpse first." ”
