Volume 1 Loulan Secret Words Chapter 9 Seeing Hells in the Day
Even if the moonlight was dim last night, Lu Li would never be wrong, and the ponytail that was different from ordinary women really made him remember it vividly. Even though she was wearing that black armor, Lu Li could recognize it at a glance from such a distance.
Li Sansan seemed to have noticed Lu Li's abnormality, and he didn't say anything, just followed Lu Li's line of sight and looked over there. In the middle of the ring, he turned his head, and the expression on his face began to become strange.
"I suddenly realized that I had been misreading you all along. Li Sansan pretended to be deep, and his eyes glanced into the distance.
Lu Li was shocked when he heard this, and then he was stunned for a while. Thinking that he was indeed a little out of shape just now, he glanced at Zhao Shixiong, who was still speaking loudly in front of him, turned his face sideways and frowned silently, expressing his doubt. When did I get it wrong by you Li Sansan.
"I can't imagine that you only confessed to my sister a few days ago, and today you have fallen in love with another woman. It's a good thing I didn't make up my mind to marry my sister to you, otherwise, with someone like you, my sister would have lived a miserable life for the rest of her life. Li Sansan still didn't look at Lu Li after speaking, but his eyes staring at the distance became more and more resentful.
Lu Li's brows furrowed even more, but he still didn't answer.
"I'm going to tell my sister when I go back in the afternoon, saying that you are not reliable at all, and you like one when you see one. In vain I have trusted you for so long, I am really blind to my eyes, master!" Li Sansan finally said with a suppressed voice, turned his head, and looked ahead. The soldier standing in front of him seemed to feel something, and slowly turned his head, just in time to see Li Sansan's appearance as if he was about to eat himself, and he immediately turned his head again.
I can't afford to mess with it! I can't afford to provoke him!
Lu Li glanced at him at this time, pointed to his head with a finger, and then pointed at Li Sansan.
The meaning is clear at a glance, I'm afraid you're a little bad at the brain this morning.
The black-armored woman led the group of soldiers to walk slowly past Lu Li's eyes, and Lu Li finally glanced at her meaningfully with slanted eyes and withdrew his gaze.
"Anyway, don't be a toad and want to eat swan meat, that woman came with Li Dian. On the surface, she seems to be a deputy general, but that day at my house, Li Dian almost knelt on the ground when she saw her eyes. He thought he was pretending to be very good, funny! Can this kind of thing be hidden from my eyes?" Li Sansan snorted lightly after speaking, and turned his head again.
With this expression in the past, Lu Li would have gone up to beat him a long time ago, but now Lu Li didn't want to talk to him. My current situation can be described as sitting on a needle and carpet. He suddenly remembered what the old man with long braids said last night, it stands to reason that the two should have known each other, but they didn't know each other. Since Li Dian saw her with that demeanor, the identity of this black-armored woman was even more unpredictable for Lu Li. After all, people like Li Dian who want to save face don't care about face at all, so you can imagine how noble this woman who deliberately dresses up as a black-armored cavalry must be!
"Guarding the ruins of the royal tomb is now our most important duty, you have to give Lao Tzu a twelve-point spirit, otherwise, maybe one night, your little life will be gone, do you hear!"
Everyone cheered in unison, and in this wide martial arts arena, it also seemed to be magnificent.
Zhao Shixiong finally finished speaking, and arranged for the whole five hundred people to go to the horse library to get their respective war horses, and when they had lunch, a group of people rode their horses to the north city.
The ruins of the royal tomb are located in a wasteland in the west of the Northern Desert, less than ten miles away from the old Great Wall. And on the other side of the Great Wall, which cannot be seen, is the territory of the Kingdom of Jin!
Lu Li was actually a little worried in his heart, after all, this season was a time of high incidence of rebellion, and Zhao Shixiong's words had no intention of intimidation, really as long as there was a slight mistake, his cheap life would be explained in the yellow sand.
As early as yesterday, the people of the Nine Prisons of Qintian were temporarily withdrawn, and it was said that they had found some abnormalities, and the matter was very important, and they had to show the Son of Heaven before making the next step of exploration.
Anyway, from beginning to end, any news about the ruins of the royal tomb was classified as top secret, and even Li Chaonan didn't know about it, let alone others. However, Lu Li has never been interested in this royal tomb that appeared out of thin air, but it seems that with this momentum, he has to let himself have something to do with it.
And when they went out of the north gate, they went all the way to the west. On the desert road, the west wind was raging, rolling up bursts of yellow sand, and the whole air seemed a little yellowish and blurry. Zhao Shixiong hadn't been out of the city for a long time, and at this time, looking at the yellow sand floating in the sky, he had to tell the soldiers to be vigilant and slow down. After all, the line of sight is limited, and if the troops raid at this time, then it is very likely to cause a tragedy!
Lu Li and Li Sansan walked at the end of the horse herd, and there was only a team of Zhao Shixiong's escort cavalry behind them, which was his direct cavalry, and it was not a grade at all compared to Lu Li's guards.
Of course, although Lu Li has no talent for cultivation, but since he was a child, Old Man Xu taught him the ability to ride a horse, and some brute force fighting skills, including chopping, picking, splitting and other actions, Lu Li has also done it completely, and compared to his peers, it is even more than his peers. But this is just a comparison with people who have not cultivated. It's just that Lu Li himself has a prodigal temperament and likes to play, so Old Man Xu always opens his mouth and says that he is a cheap life waiting for death.
Along the way, Lu Li looked at Li Sansan's unreasonable appearance, and he wanted to laugh a little in his heart. He simply ignored him, and took care of himself and quickened his steps, and rode to the middle. He looked at the yellow sand that was constantly blown up by the wind, and suddenly felt that this year's wind was blowing a little weird, although it was also this time in previous years, but it was far less intense.
It was only fifty miles from the north gate of Loulan to the ruins of the royal tomb, and because the march was relatively slow, Lu Li and his party walked for about two incense sticks.
Zhao Shixiong walked at the forefront, pulled the reins, raised his hand, and signaled everyone to stop.
Lu Li slowly raised his head at this time, even though he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still stunned by the scene in front of him.
This is like a pyramid-shaped magnificent building, the layer next to the sand, Lu Li, at least half a Lou Lan City is the size!
The outer wall of the whole ruins is earthy yellow, which contrasts with this vast sandy land, and looks even more mysterious and simple. Lu Li's gaze continued to go up along the tower floor, the wind in the sky seemed to suddenly blow even more, Lu Li could watch the low-hanging yellow clouds pass over the top of the ruins, and then look up, Lu Li frowned slightly.
The top of the tower-shaped ruins seems to have been deliberately cut off with a knife, and the spire has been lost. He subconsciously remembered the long blue knife in the swordsman's hand, how powerful the cultivation must be, in order to directly erase this relic like cutting melons and vegetables.
Lu Li came back to his senses and looked at the eyes of the soldiers, which were basically the same as himself. After all, this sense of impact is too great.
"The one surnamed Cao said yesterday, this royal tomb ruins are a bit strange, they have already made some marks around, remember to only garrison and not enter after the past, otherwise you will leave your lives here before the soldiers come!" Zhao Shixiong has always had a strained face, this royal tomb ruins for himself, it is more of a responsibility, since he went out of the city to be ordered, then he has to think in advance and take precautions against those unknown possibilities to face. Otherwise, as he himself said, there is a life to come, but there is no life to go back.
The group finally walked to the foot of the ruins, and Lu Li was surprised to find that this towering behemoth seemed to break through the sand from the ground, and at the joints between the outer wall and the sand, there were many new sand vines coming out.
The position where Lu Li stood at this time was due east relative to the ruins of the royal tomb, and on the sand less than ten zhang in front of him, that is, near the east gate of the ruins, there were three blood-red marks drawn, Lu Li couldn't understand what the mystery of these three lines was, but Zhao Shixiong had already spoken, these mysterious marks were deliberately made by the nine eunuchs of Qintian, and no one might know what the specific use was except for themselves.
Li Sansan was standing not far from Lu Li, this little fat man who was full of resentment along the way, until this time his face finally looked a little uncomfortable, Lu Li knew that he was most afraid of this kind of mysterious thing, so he deliberately stepped forward and said softly: "I said that this time your father is so willing to dare to put you out here, in case of an accident, wouldn't he cry to death." ”
Hearing this, Li Sansan hurriedly restrained his expression, snorted lightly, and said: "I've seen a lot of this kind of scene, master, originally my father didn't let me come, I begged him to agree." ”
When Lu Li heard this, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and said: "Look at the few blood-red traces on the edge of the royal tomb, it's really fucking weird, you look at the yellow sand flying in the sky, this wind blows like a demon wind, tsk, I regret it a little." ”
"Lu Li, let me tell you that you are enough, you have to be kind!" Li Sansan couldn't hold back anymore when he heard this, and yelled at Lu Li.
Lu Li looked at his expression and smiled dumbly.
Zhao Shixiong took his team of personal guard cavalry around the ruins of the royal tomb and came back, his face was even heavier, he looked at the five hundred soldiers who were considered meat at hand and said loudly: "This ruins of the royal tomb have eight doors on each floor, belonging to eight different directions, and each gate has been drawn by the nine eunuchs of Qintian with three different horizontal lines, as for the dark holes and secret passages you see on the wall, remember not to go in." Now you are divided into groups, and you are in groups of sixty men, and each of you is stationed at a gate. ”
By the time Zhao Shixiong had assigned all the people, it was already close to dusk, and the wind and sand gradually dissipated, like a bloody remnant sun, through the mushroom-shaped hanging cloud at the end of the west, sprinkled the last light on the sand, and also pulled out a long shadow of this towering ruin.
Lu Li stood only ten zhang away from the east gate of the ruins, just in the shadows, and felt a little cool.
Li Sansan deliberately didn't choose to be with him in a team, Lu Li actually knew very well in his heart, even if he explained now, he couldn't open this mouth, last night's incident, if he could, Lu Li would prefer never to let him know.
But thinking that Li Chaonan was willing to throw his son here this time, Lu Li always felt a little weird in his heart, after all, he was such a lifeline, in case Li Sansan really lost his life, then how should Li Chaonan's foundation that he had laid for most of his life, or this glory that belonged to the border soldiers alone, continue.
Just as Lu Li was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a chaotic shout from the northeast of the ruins. Lu Li raised his head violently, his position was at a narrow corner of the east gate, and all the view was blocked by the magnificent building. He didn't have time to think about it, he took out the saber on his waist and ran over there! Lu Li knew that Li Sansan was in that place, and he was thinking about not having any mistakes and accidents just now, who knew that it would come true soon!
A trace of remorse suddenly flashed in Lu Li's heart, if he insisted on pulling him with him just now, he would not be in such a situation!
Hearing this, the soldiers guarding the east gate also immediately drew their swords and lined up, and followed Lu Li to run over there.
As soon as Lu Li ran to the corner of the narrow corner, he saw Li Sansan running towards him with blood on his face, the expression on his face was frightened, and when he saw Lu Li's figure, he cried and roared: "Lu Li, run, run, there are ghosts, ghosts!"
Lu Li didn't have time to avoid it at all, the two collided, he hurriedly held Li Sansan up, and said in a panic: "What's the matter! Are you okay, are you hurt?"
At this time, Lu Li only cared about Li Sansan's injuries at all, he wiped the blood from his face with his hands as he spoke, and watched Li Sansan tremble twice with his mouth open, and fainted in his arms as soon as his eyes closed.
Lu Li immediately turned his head and shouted loudly: "Leave two to protect him, and then go back to the city on a fast horse to tell the general!" After saying that, Lu Li put Li Sansan down, got up and ran to that end.
But just as he turned the corner, he froze where he was.
Originally, there were nearly sixty people stationed at each gate, but at this time, Lu Li only saw less than ten people, and they were running towards him, all of them were covered in blood, and their faces were full of fear from their bones! Lu Li saw it clearly, and some of them even had broken arms or missing legs. He looked over his gaze and glanced with a trembling head at the shadow in front of the northeast gate.
There, there were stumps and severed arms in a place, and a group of festering and terrifying-looking creatures who didn't know whether they were humans or ghosts were quickly picking up the severed arms on the ground and slamming into the dark passages on the ruins wall.
The speed of walking brought a chaotic shadow, which made people dazzled!
Lu Li's pupils dilated violently at this moment, and the indifferent swordsman who was still in his home suddenly appeared in his mind. This strange and terrifying appearance is exactly the same as the way he looked when he saw the swordsman outside the door!
