Snowy Demon Cave Chapter 4 The Secret of the Birthmark

Hearing these three words, I stood in place dumbfounded, he is the legendary Li Ruhai? According to the ninth uncle's letter, Li Ruhai is Li Wanshan's apprentice, and he has to live at least 100 years old now, how can he look like he is fifty or sixty, and why is he a member of the Li family?

I now know why he wanted to look at my back, but looking at his later actions, I am almost certain that I am not the Lei family they are looking for, otherwise I would not be standing here alive.

I picked up a knife and a gun, followed him along the eaves corridor around a small moon gate next to the main hall, as if walking a maze, came to the back of a set of blue bricks and gray tile courtyard, I couldn't help but marvel at Li Ruhai's strong financial resources, such a yard is placed outside, don't say that it is this Lin Town, even in Chongqing, I am afraid it is worth a lot, and in this Li family compound, this kind of courtyard is probably more than two or three.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the goldfish in the feeding tank in the second master's courtyard, and when I came in, he opened his mouth and said with a big smile: "You are here, I am about to suffocate in the past few days." ”

I had the heart to go up and punch him, but because Xiao Shunzi was beside me, I could only scold fiercely: "You fuck, you almost scared me to death." ”

He scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, Xiao Shunzi said like a little adult with his hands behind his back: "The scope of your two activities is limited to this courtyard, someone will bring water and food every day, just tell the person who delivers the food if you need anything, and your luggage in the hotel will be delivered by someone later."

Okay, don't feed the fish anymore, you've been here for two days, and the fish are almost fatter than you. ”

The second master clapped his hands, snorted angrily, Xiao Shunzi also snorted and turned to leave, the second master jumped to my side with a strong stride, snatched a knife from the past, looked up and down, left and right, and then glanced at me, and the two went straight to the west wing.

There are two wooden beds in the room, wardrobes, basin racks and other things for life applications, the second master motioned for me to sit down, and then after probing out to confirm that there was no one, he closed the door and asked quietly: "Have you seen Li Ruhai?" ”

I nodded and said, "What the hell is going on with you?" Why didn't you tell me before you left? ”

He said with a wry smile: "I have been fighting eagles all my life, and I was pecked by the eagle when I was old, after you went back to sleep that day, how do I think that the person who stole your brand is weird, and he stole things and stinks in front of him, he must have deliberately led you out, since he finally ran into that alley, it proves that there must be a problem there, I waited until midnight, secretly went downstairs, and prepared to go back to find out."

Who knew that as soon as I arrived at the mouth of the alley, I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up again, I had already arrived here, Li Ruhai's old man searched out the mission briefing and photos of foreigners on my body, and I didn't know what he meant, and he didn't kill or fight, but put me under house arrest here, and at the same time, he sent a lot of people, and I don't know where I went.

On the third day he brought me the knife and asked me to write you a note, and I thought about it for you, and it was much more dangerous in the hotel than here, so I wrote as he said. ”

"Then how do you know that they sent out a lot of people?" ”

"You are stupid, you think it's really just us in such a big courtyard? The night I came, there were people in every house in this small courtyard, you see now. ”

I thought about it and said, "Then this Li Ruhai didn't tell you what he was going to do?" He also has the information he wants, and the foreigners have also been killed by him, with his means and power, it shouldn't really be worse for the two of us. ”

He shook his head and said: "I have been wondering about this for the past few days, the old man's subordinates, I see that they all have real kung fu, and not only can they find it, but they can also easily enter and exit the base to get knives, this must be someone inside, I can't understand it after thinking about it for a long time, anyway, now we are the meat on the board of others, and we can only take one step at a time." ”

While talking, a thin and tall, pockmarked young man walked in with our luggage, glanced at us, put it on the ground and turned around and went out, someone brought a meal at noon, and in the afternoon I was idle and looked at other rooms with the window, and there was no difference between the furnishings and our house, and my heart said how this Li Ruhai's family is like the army.

After dinner, Xiao Shunzi came over and called me to say that Li Ruhai was invited, and I followed him to the main hall with anxiety.

He said leisurely: "As a deposit, I can answer your three questions first, and then tell you everything I know when the task is over." ”

I wanted to ask too much before, but he suddenly said this and didn't know where to start, thought for a long time, and opened his mouth to ask: "Am I the Lei family?" ”

Li Ruhai laughed and said: "It's the same as I guessed, sure enough, I asked this first, well, you are the Lei family, your real name is Lei Xiaofeng, when I found the Lei family, you were already missing, we are thirty-six disciples of the Li family, we have taken great pains to find you in the past few decades, and we have to say that it is fate to meet today." ”

After hearing this, I don't know whether to be happy or sad, happy because after so many years, I finally know what my surname is and where my home is, but the sad thing is that I know it too late, and according to the letter of Uncle Jiu, it was he Li Ruhai who killed my whole family.

"You killed my whole family?" ”

He shook his head and said: "It's not me, even if I want to, I don't have that ability, the Lei family was destroyed because of a secret, a big secret for thousands of years, this secret made the Lei family once brilliant, and it also led to the disaster of killing." ”

"What's the secret?" ”

The old man didn't answer me directly, but asked me a question: "Have you ever been to the Yin Array?" ”

I nodded.

"The ancestors of your Lei family were employed in the imperial court in the Tang Dynasty, specializing in the study of formations, in ancient times, the most important battle was to arrange troops, but this formation is only more than 100 kinds, although most of the generals are familiar with the chest, but they do not know how to be flexible, resulting in the battlefield is not the same arrangement of the two sides, or you break the stalemate, I break the formation, I break the stalemate.

At this time, the imperial court recruited talented people from all over the world, specializing in the study of new formations in the Great Interior, among which the Lei family and the Li family were the most prominent, but the Lei and Li families slowly discovered that some formations could not only be used in battlefield battles, but also had the ability to determine the world and change the day, but at that time, the world was stable, and the four seas were peaceful, and these formations became a piece of paper and the art of slaying dragons.

However, in the period of the Five Dynasties, the swords and soldiers rose everywhere, the world was in turmoil, the Lei and Li families had the intention to lay down the array to calm the trouble, how could this array must be laid on the dragon vein, the dragon veins in the world are out of Kunlun, one along the Yellow River all the way to the north, called the North Dragon, one along the Yangtze River all the way to the south, called the South Dragon, according to calculations, each dragon vein to set up seven arrays, like the Big Dipper to lock the double dragon, in order to be able to the country and the people.

Due to the huge project, so the Lei and Li families parted ways, the Lei family is responsible for the North Dragon, the Li family is responsible for the South Dragon, after the initial formation of the Great Array, the Zhao family is in power, and the court once again summons the two families into the palace, generation after generation, in order to plan for the country.

However, there are too many people in the world who dream of being emperors, and many people with advanced skills are looking for the big array, intending to break the formation and change the dynasty.

At first, the royal army sent troops to guard, strict protection, helpless Jin soldiers rebellion, the emperor listened to slander, all the soldiers defending the formation were transferred to the front line, and finally after three hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty, the seven formations of the southern dragon were all broken, so that the Jin soldiers entered the customs, the blood river drifted into the pestle, the Lei and Li families were disheartened, dismissed the official and left, and since then hidden in the people.

In the end, there was only one master left in the Li family, and he spent his life looking for the Lei family, hoping to build a formation again, but I didn't expect that when I found the Lei family village in Fengwangling, it was full of dead corpses. ”

"If you didn't kill my family, who did it?" ”

"This is also what I want to know, after the death of your Lei family, its trumpets in various places were eradicated and annexed, and our Li family was framed and framed, and the disciples of the Lei family vowed to kill us all and take revenge, for a while there was a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes, and my master also died of depression, and now I found you and the one surnamed Cui, in order to find out the real culprit, return the innocence of my Li family, and avenge the destruction of the Lei family." ”

"You want to use me to lure out the people behind the scenes?" ”

"Yes, I have already released the news that you are the Lei family, and I believe that fish will follow soon." ”

Hearing this, the sweat on my forehead fell, although I can find out who killed my whole family, but after all, I have been an orphan for so many years, and now I suddenly let myself be killed for what family secret, but how can I face it? My mind was in a mess, and I thought for a moment and said, "What's the use of finding me?" I don't know how to set it up. ”

Li Ruhai put down the tea bowl he had just picked up, stared at me and said, "Of course you don't know how to set up the formation, but you know the location of all the Northern Dragon Seven Formations!" ”

I shook my head in affirmation, and suddenly I read two words in his eyes, and my mouth opened wide in surprise.

He leaned back and said: "That's right, it's a birthmark, in fact, it's not a birthmark, but something similar to Shougong Sand, this thing only exists in the living, once a person dies, it will disappear immediately, each generation of the Lei family will choose a newborn baby boy and tattoo this map-like thing on his back, so that it can be passed down from generation to generation without revealing secrets." ”

I tried my last strength to defend myself, "Didn't you say that the Seven Southern Dragon Formations have all been destroyed? How could the Northern Dragon Seven Formations still exist? ”

"The Northern Dragon Seven Formation was destroyed after the Jin soldiers entered the customs, but the Jin soldiers were foreigners, they didn't understand the secret art of Feng Shui in the Central Plains at all, they just burned the surface buildings, or cultivated the fields, or raised grass and grazing, they didn't know that the most critical formation of each formation was actually buried deep underground, these hundreds of years of vicissitudes, if you don't rely on the map of your back, even if the ancestors of the Lei family are reborn, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find." ”

I was completely desperate, I didn't expect to see the hope of leaving the base just now, but I fell into such a dangerous situation.

I secretly complained in my heart, Xiao Shunzi suddenly ran in, looked at me, and stopped talking, Li Ruhai asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Shunzi said, "Master, they are back." ”

When Li Ruhai heard this, he got down from the stool, nodded and said, "Let them come in, go, and call the person surnamed Cui too." ”
