Nightshade was about to open the mahogany box, but found a crimson lock hanging on it, the size of a button.

Li Qingtong's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "What a strange lock, let me try it." Li Qingtong, who has a hobby of unlocking since childhood, boasts of reading countless locks, so far there is no lock that she can't open, but she has never seen such a lock, which immediately aroused her desire to challenge.

Li Qingtong put the box on the ground, moved the muscles and bones of his hands, took out a thin metal wire, squatted on the ground, and focused on opening the lock.

There was a sound of unlocking in his ears, Nightshade listened quietly, looking at Li Qingtong intently, time passed, and I don't know how long it took, the lark was impatient, and was opening his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Nightshade with his eyes.

Fine sweat gradually appeared on Li Qingtong's forehead, this lock looks small, but the structure is not simple, Li Qingtong groped with metal wire for a long time, and did not find the key to unlocking.

Seeing Li Qingtong's expression, Long Kui also knew that this lock was difficult to open, and this was not a place to stay for a long time, so after thinking about it, she said softly: "Qingtong, why don't we bring this box back first?"

The lark was very much in agreement: "Nightshade is right, let's hurry up!"

Li Qingtong didn't react, his eyes looked at the Linglong lock in his hand motionlessly, the expression on his face was extremely serious and serious, obviously he didn't hear them speak.

Nightshade lightly touched her shoulder, and Li Qingtong came back to his senses and looked at Nightshade in confusion.

"Qingtong, to be safe, let's take things away first. Nightshade said again.

Li Qingtong heard it this time, smiled, nodded hurriedly, and stood up holding the box: "Then let's get out of here quickly!"

"Hugh away!"

Just as the three of them turned to leave, they heard a vigorous and indifferent man's voice.

The three of them were inexplicably shocked, and before they could react, they saw an emerald green barrier surrounding them, and then a middle-aged man in a gorgeous battle uniform walked through the barrier.

was discovered? Nightshade saw that the other party was menacing, and the secret way was not good. At this time, Li Qingtong calmed down and said crisply: "Who are you?"

"I am Chang Zhihe. The middle-aged man's voice was majestic, his face was full of evil spirits, and his body was as strong as an ox, as if as soon as he spoke, the whole air would vibrate.

When Li Qingtong heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became serious, and he didn't say a word. Nightshade looked at her pale complexion, and couldn't help but be nervous, this person must be a powerful character!

"Whoever trespasses in the Vault, die!"

Li Qingtong shook with Chang Zhihe's voice, and immediately came back to his senses, now is not the time to be afraid. Daddy once mentioned a person to her, thirty years ago, that is, before she was born, there was a young strong man in Mangcangji, but twenty, he was already a great fighter. Such a genius figure is naturally reused by the imperial court. Sure enough, he lived up to expectations, he led the imperial army to fight, and he was invincible, becoming the god of war of the current dynasty.

Even Daddy can't compare with him, but such a genius has a strange personality. Over time, Chang Zhihe no longer obeyed the orders of the court, but acted arbitrarily and loved to kill. He went from a god of war to a devil in an instant, and overnight, everywhere he passed, corpses were strewn all over the field.

The court finally had to send someone to arrest him, and since then, Chang Zhihe has not been heard from, and people have gradually forgotten about him.

Now, he has actually become the gatekeeper of Fu Jiuku! Li Qingtong could never have imagined that such a big man would also be touched by her, and I really don't know whether to say that she is lucky or bad.

She hurriedly pulled the nightshade over and whispered something in her ear, and the nightshade retreated behind her, only with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Uncle Chang, we two little girls are ignorant and playful for a while, can you let us go?" Li Qingtong said as he calmly handed out the red box.

Chang Zhihe's face was expressionless, and he didn't look at the red lacquer box in Li Qingtong's hand, and with a wave of his big hand, a long-handled big knife appeared, but a few words popped out of his mouth: "If you win me, you will be let go." ”

It turned out that he ate hard rather than soft, Li Qingtong frowned, put the box at his feet, took a few steps forward, and said crisply: "Uncle Chang, you are so powerful, but you want to bully us two weak little girls, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?

Chang Zhihe was not moved in the slightest, and still said coldly: "I'll talk about winning the battle." ”

He is Chang Zhihe, a man who fights on the battlefield, and his thirst for war is so deep that it seems that a war is inevitable today. Li Qingtong had to mobilize every nerve at this moment to start this battle with no chance of winning, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to fight hard, so he had to rely on his brain to win.

"Uncle Chang, everyone knows that you are an invincible fighter, how can our two little girls be your opponents, we will definitely not be able to win against you, and you will not be able to win. Otherwise, how about we decide the winner of the battle today?"

Chang Zhihe narrowed his eyes, stared at Li Qingtong, and did not speak.

Li Qingtong was looked at by his bloodthirsty gaze, and there was a cold sweat on his back, but on the surface, he pretended to be nothing.

Suddenly, Chang Zhihyuk's gaze shifted to Nightshade, who was standing behind her. He suddenly raised his big knife, pointed at the nightshade and said, "You come and fight me." ”

Li Qingtong was surprised, and looked at the nightshade a little helplessly, sure enough, this Chang Zhihe was fickle, his personality was strange, and he didn't play cards according to common sense, which caught Li Qingtong off guard. Li Qingtong understood that Chang Zhihe had only one purpose, and that was to fight. This kind of rare opportunity, how could he give up, he must want to fight to the end.

Why do you want to choose nightshade? Nightshade looks soft and weak on the surface, and it is not as imposing as Li Qingtong, just a gentle and harmless little girl, this Chang Zhihe is just going to fight with nightshade, is it possible that there is also a reason for the strong to pick soft persimmons in this world?

Just when Li Qingtong was puzzled and the lark felt bad, Chang Zhihe suddenly said this:

"You are a sword immortal. ”

In a few simple words, the reason for choosing nightshade has been explained.

Just because of this, the lark was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that a casual sentence it said would put the nightshade in danger, the lark immediately regretted it, and hurriedly retorted: "Who said that, she can't even fight, how can she be a sword immortal?"

Li Qingtong was a little puzzled, and looked at the lark, and his eyes seemed to say, wasn't the nightshade you said just now a sword immortal?

"I've seen it with my own eyes. Chang Zhihe said coldly, and flicked back the lark's words, choking the lark speechless. What this man meant was that he saw Nightshade summon the magic sword, and the sword went to rescue them.

Everyone immediately understood that their whereabouts were under his control.

"Take out your sword and fight!" Chang Zhihe almost shouted as if he couldn't wait.

Nightshade couldn't help but shake her whole body, and looked at Li Qingtong and the lark who were guarding in front of her, one kept breaking out in a cold sweat, and the other body kept shaking, obviously so scared, she was still protecting her.

A trace of warmth crossed her heart, and Nightshade was moved, perhaps in the past, she was a princess of Jiang Guo who was unworldly, simple and fragile, and needed to be protected by others. But now, she believes that she can be a person who has the ability to protect everyone, protect the people who love her, and the people she loves.

Nightshade gently pushed the two of them away and threw a touching smile at the two of them. She calmly walked in front of Chang Zhihyuk, she didn't know how petite and weak she looked in front of him.

"I'm not a sword immortal, but I accept your challenge, and I want to protect everyone. ”

Her voice was crisp and beautiful, and without warning, it aroused the softness in the depths of people's hearts.

"Nightshade, come back quickly. Li Qingtong was so anxious that he wanted to step forward and pull the nightshade back, but Chang Zhihe waved his hand, and another emerald green barrier appeared, separating her from the nightshade.

Long Kui turned around, only to see that on the other side of the barrier, larks and Li Qingtong kept patting the barrier, their faces full of anxiety, and they seemed to be shouting something. She couldn't hear it, but she could feel it. She looked back and smiled, for everyone's sake, she was willing to give it a try.

Nightshade raised his eyes to look at Chang Zhihe, his handsome face already had traces of time, and his eyes flashed with different colors, as if a fire of hope had been lit, bright and scorching.
