Chapter 123: Horror in the Underground Palace
When Lou Qianhan rushed to Qinglian Palace from the town with a gloomy face, there were already a large number of corpses lying on the ground, Gongsun Yanyu pale and pale to the side, and blood beads kept dripping from the gap in the palm covering his ribs, and it seemed that the injury was not light.
"A bunch of trash." Lou Qianhan, who was full of great anger, squeezed out a scold from between his teeth, and his cold tone seemed to want to freeze the flames.
"Yanyu, what about them? Is it safe? Who are these people? Mu Jiuge tiptoed towards the main hall where the fire was raging, and his expression was undisguised.
Gongsun Yanyu gasped, barely stood up straight and bowed his head: "It's the negligence of the subordinates, I didn't expect that someone had already set up an ambush in Qinglian Palace." Those people ignited several gunpowder during the birthday feast, and the fire spread rapidly with the momentum of pine oil, and when the subordinates found it, it had already burned into the main hall, and they didn't even have time to put out the fire......"
"Let me ask you, where are the Moqing?" The person with a cold face and an accentuated tone was not Lou Qianhan, but Mu Jiuge. There was no smile on that plain and hearty face, only gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth: "Hurry up and find out Mo Qing and Bi Xiao, it doesn't matter if the others live or die!" Just go! ”
Glancing at Lou Qianhan beside him without a trace, Mu Jiuge sighed, and the anger in his stomach suddenly turned into worry.
Outsiders may not know, but he understands that Lou Qianhan and Wen Moqing, the two brothers who seem to have a bad relationship, are actually better than anyone else, with similar personalities and similar tempers, and even the cold and alienation of treating people and things is exactly the same. The reason why Lou Qianhan rarely decided to get rid of Yan Liwu this time was also because of Wen Moqing, if it weren't for Wen Moqing getting into trouble for a woman who couldn't tolerate the world, how could he be so angry? It's good now, someone dares to play tricks under the nose of the Ranxue Pavilion, and forcibly trap Wen Moqing and Bi Xiao in the Flames Territory, if Wen Moqing loses three or two hairs in a flash, even if the mastermind behind the scenes is the current emperor, Lou Qianhan must pay it back at the cost of his head.
Therefore, this anger was enough to kill, Mu Jiuge had to rush out for him before Lou Qianhan, so as not to hurt the innocent.
"Senior Brother Lou! Senior Brother Mu! Bi Xiao's voice came from afar, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the two of them, and his anxious expression was the same as Mu Jiuge, "What about Senior Brother?" And the worries, the prince? ”
Lou Qianhan's face was cold: "I still want to ask you." ”
"I ...... Just now, there were killers outside the Ranxue Pavilion ambushing outside, I went over to see the situation, and there was a mess here when I didn't want to fight, and I finally got out and came back, but I couldn't find my senior brother and them. Bi Xiao is a delicate woman with some daughters, and her eyes turned red when she was questioned by Lou Qianhan, and her voice was full of whimpering.
Mu Jiuge sighed, snatched a basin of water from the person who was running to extinguish the fire on the side, and poured it all on his body: "I'll rush in and take a look, and I'll leave it to you outside." Big girl, watch the light cold, don't let him kill people indiscriminately, senior brother will definitely bring Moqing back, don't worry. ”
Seeing Mu Jiuge rushing into the sea of fire, Bi Xiao's already high heart tightened a little, and he kept pacing in place with his sword in his hands, until he saw a familiar figure stumbling towards him.
"Young Master Bi Xiao...... Young master, save the prince, please save the prince from the young master! The prince and the young master are trapped inside! Yin Junbai's originally fair and delicate cheeks have been blackened by the fireworks, large swaths of his long black hair have been burned, and his clothes have been missing several hollows from the fire, and he knelt in front of Bi Xiao in embarrassment. Yin Junbai, who was already exhausted, gasped for breath, grabbed Bi Xiao's arm and trembled: "I want to go back, I want to go back to save the prince, but there are people, many people...... Those people are all going towards the prince and the young master, I can't get by, I can't get by......"
Yin Junbai's mind had begun to be confused, and his speech was incoherent, but looking at the several deep and shallow wounds on his body, Bi Xiao could roughly guess what was happening. Taking a deep breath to maintain his composure, Bi Xiao decisively turned around and whispered to Lou Qianhan: "I'll go with Junbai to have a look, maybe I can find Senior Brother and them." ”
Lou Qianhan stared at Yin Junbai for most of the day, waved his hand suddenly, and his face couldn't be worse.
Bi Xiao didn't delay for a moment, helping Yin Junbai to run in the direction he pointed, followed by several Ranxue Pavilion killers. Before entering the hall, Bi Xiao glanced back, and happened to see Lou Qianhanmu raising his sword with a face, gouging out the eyes of a captured assassin, and screaming like a ghost crying.
If Wen Moqing has three longs and two shorts, Bi Xiao has no doubt that Lou Qianhan will let everyone in Qinglian Palace be buried with him.
At the same time, in the underground palace of Qinglian Palace, Wen Moqing was pulling Yan Liwu to shuttle through the criss-crossing corridors, and the shouts behind him were endless, and from time to time there were poisonous arrows.
At that time, there was an explosion in the main hall, and Wen Moqing was worried that King Dingyuan in the main hall could only leave the room and go to the main hall without the protection of others. Those people all carried weapons, looking at the blue light on the blade, they knew that they were all poisonous, Wen Moqing was defenseless and had to protect Yan Liwu, and he had to guard against hidden arrows, and after a short fight, he was forced to find a nearby entrance and hide in the dungeon.
In the past nearly a month, the two of them spent most of their time in the dungeon, and many of the secret doors of the Yongdao were already familiar, even if there were many pursuers behind them, they could not fall behind for a while by virtue of the speed of dodging the mechanism and drilling into the dark passage. However, as the distance gradually widened, and the pursuers became less and less, the depth of the two's intrusion into the dungeon gradually exceeded what they knew, and more unexplored forks appeared in front of them, and the mechanisms were more, more complicated, and more dangerous than the previous one.
"Can't turn back, there are too many people." Wen Moqing hesitated for a short time and then made the decision to move forward, "There are quite a lot of organs in this section, it seems to be to prevent people from going inside, there may be something very important hidden in it." ”
"Do you still want to explore at this time? If you touch some great agency, won't you die out of curiosity? Anyway, it's already a big stretch, so it's better to wait here, those people may know the difficulty and retreat. Yan Li looked at the few iron arrows he had just dodged with apprehension, and did not want to go any deeper.
Wen Moqing took a few steps forward, carefully bypassed another floor tile that hid a mystery, and hooked his hand towards Yan Liwu: "Come here, don't stand there stupidly - those people have a life-and-death relationship in it to chase so desperately, it is impossible to give up easily, and when they gradually figure out the trick of the mechanism, the speed of the chase will be fast, before that, we have to distance ourselves as much as possible, and the fewer enemies left, the better it is to deal with." ”
The shadow of Yin Junbai's injury by the dark arrow last time lingered, and Yan Liwu was quite resistant to trespassing into the unfamiliar area of the underground palace, but she couldn't refute what Wen Moqing said reasonably, so she had to continue to follow him and go deeper.
Just as Wen Moqing said, after experiencing the initial panic, the speed of those people chasing after them gradually increased, and when the two carefully chose the direction to go, the noise was much louder, but it was also much rarer, it should be someone who did not prevent the organ from being injured and falling behind.
If there are fewer people, it will be easy to deal with with with Wen Moqing. After taking the reassuring pill, Yan Liwu was finally able to cheer up a little, and focused more attention on his feet to prevent accidentally touching the mechanism, and by the time the pursuers arrived, the two had already crossed at least four mechanisms and were extremely careful not to touch them, just waiting for those people to kill themselves.
Yan Liwu underestimated the killers who were chasing after him, and he thought that there were only three or five people who could chase him, but he didn't expect that there were still as many as seven or eight people in sight. These people who can dodge many traps are not only lucky, but also have good kung fu. Seeing that the people who had suffered so much to kill were not far ahead, those pursuers were all red as blood, their teeth were clucking, and they didn't need anyone to shout, and they all rushed towards the two of them at a faster speed.
Professor Xiao Fengyue once repeatedly said a sentence when he was talking about worrying about kung fu, if you can't reach it quickly, you will lose if you are in a hurry. This sentence is fully demonstrated today by a group of pursuers - when those people attack like crazy, they naturally pay less attention to the mechanism, and watch the deliberately crossed mechanism being triggered one after another, and sigh slowly.
She didn't kill people with her own hands, but those people died because of her, and the debt of human life on her back seemed to be heavier.
The warm palm suddenly touched Yan Liwu's eyes, and with a little force, he brought Yan Liwu into his arms behind him, and whispered lightly in his ear: "Don't look." ”
Tongues of fire carried steel grit in bursts, iron arrows roared out mercilessly, and suddenly burst out of hard stabbing through the flesh and bones, and even heavy hammers fell from the top of the head to break through the unsuspecting human skulls.
With such a tragic scene, Wen Moqing really couldn't bear to let Yan Li face his worries.
The pursuit team composed of several people fell in a blink of an eye, not counting the two who only had half a breath left, and only two people were left on the opposite side of Yan Liwu and Wen Moqing who were still intact. Although the two men were not injured, they were also frightened, and when they saw their companion who had been dancing their teeth and claws a moment ago turned into a corpse in the blink of an eye, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and looked at each other in horror and fear.
"It's all here, I can't go back, on!" One of them gritted his teeth, jumped up suddenly, and the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and went straight to the end of the road.
There were only these two people left, Wen Moqing didn't think much about it at all, and quickly reached out to take the Huang Cheng Sword handed by Yan Liwu, and with a twist of his wrist, he set up an attack move and prepared to meet the enemy. After the person in front showed his weapon, the killer behind him also picked up the half-body-long copper stick in a panic and quickly followed, but this person was obviously not as calm and calm as the previous one, and in a hurry, he forgot that there was a ceiling above his head, and the copper rod hit it heavily when he raised his hand.
There was a boom, and the dull sound brought a sense of foreboding, shrouding the heads of the four people chasing and fighting in the underground palace.
Wen Moqing fought with the enemy in just one move, then put away his body and returned to the side of Yan Liwu, frowning and looking in the direction where the muffled sound came from, there was no firelight and no flying cold sword, only the person with the stick looked up in a daze, looking at the top of his head with his mouth half open.
Now that the mechanism has been touched, it is impossible that there are no traps, right? Yan Li's worry jumped to his throat, and his cold sweaty hand subconsciously grabbed Wen Moqing's arm, and his face became more and more pale: "There is a voice, very small, like a ...... The sound of bugs! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a black swarm of insects rolling from the cave that had been removed from the ceiling, and before the people who looked up stupidly reacted, they were engulfed by the swarm in an instant, leaving only a few wails that changed their tune.
The dungeon of Qinglian Palace has five steps and one hurdle, ten steps and one danger, after dodging countless hidden arrows, fire dragons and sledgehammer stabs, another never-before-seen trap suddenly appeared, and this level is not as rigid as other traps, but alive, after the person who touched the mechanism screamed and fell, the dense swarm of insects turned in another direction and flew quickly towards the only three people left in the dungeon.
