[071] Temple of the Dead
The soldiers on patrol at night were also amazed by Huang Chuan's perseverance, and this man had been carving against a pile of stone pillars for nearly eight or nine hours since the morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the soldier kindly lent the torch to Huang Yuan, it was still too dim after all, so Huang Yan closed his vision and turned to use his senses, that is, to use Jueyuan to perceive the shape of the stone pillar in front of him, so as to carve.
He couldn't see anything, but Huang Yan felt that he was more in place, and the darkness made him feel at ease.

"I can finally see the light again!"
On the other side, Jiu Wu'er, Feng Chenghuang, and Tu Yu came out of the underground street and said that it felt good to see the sky and the moon again. Coupled with the light of the Dragon King's tears in the distance, they had the illusion of dawn.
All the clues provided by the underground people were related to the Inthankstown, not far from the underground street, and the three of them decided to go there to investigate.
The uneasiness that Feng Chenghuang had woken up from his dream had all disappeared, and was replaced by a relief, not because the attitude of the underground people had changed to be friendly to them, but because they were grateful to Fengxian Mountain.
According to them, not only did the people of Fengxian Mountain often help them, but they always believed that the rangers of Fengxian Mountain were protecting them from evil spirits and bringing them a stable life, even if their current underground life was quite embarrassing.
"What's the situation!?"
Feng Chenghuang heard the voice of her sister-in-law, and when she came back to her senses, she had already arrived at the Ingratitude Temple, and there was a smell of blood.
Something went wrong.
"Girl, hide behind. Feng Chenghuang said, he immediately held a few chess pieces in his hand, and signaled Tu Yu to be vigilant.
"Sure enough, it didn't come in vain!" Tu Yu became excited, and he smelled the smell of battle.
There was no reason not to move forward, they saw the corpses of fallen soldiers all over the ground, and they had been sent to guard the scene.
There were few corpses of the monks – most of them were taken to the barracks during the day for interrogation and have not yet returned.
The vestibule was also littered with corpses, mixed with some people who had been cut in two, killed by the Arhat statue summoned by the Grace of the Underworld during the day, but the Arhat statue was missing.
Who could have done it?
"We'll have to hurry up, split up and see if there's a secret tunnel or something. ”
If there is any misdemeanor in the Thanksgiving Temple, it is likely to be carried out in a secret room or underground.
Feng Chenghuang entered the side hall, Tu Yu stepped straight into the main hall, and when she saw that a soldier on the ground was still breathing, she immediately treated him and saved his life.
Seeing that the soldier opened his eyes, he asked anxiously, "Who did it?"
"A group of men in black," said the soldier, "they all went to the kitchen, and they never came out since... Go after it. With that, he pointed in one direction.
Looks like it's been a while.
"Massacre, Ah Huang, this way!" the woman gently put down the injured man and immediately ran in the direction of the kitchen.
The secret passage is not difficult to find, because the people who entered before started very roughly, the stove was pierced through a big hole, Tu Yu took the lead, and the three people got into it in turn, and it was a downward passage, with stairs, and if you took two steps, you could stand up straight.
At the end of the day, the space became wide, with iron prisons on both sides, like prisons, but they were both open, there was no one inside, and the torches on both sides were burning.
There was a rancid smell again, but it didn't seem to be the same as the smell of the underground mall.
The further you went, the stronger the smell became, and on both sides of the road were cells that looked like prisons, with doors open and traces of dragging in the doorways, traces of blood and flesh to be exact.
Sister-in-law and Feng Chenghuang glanced at each other, suggesting that the other party should be careful.
Further on, the three of them heard a "rustling" sound, as if someone was digging a hole.
"Being made like this, burying them is probably a relief... "Someone talked.
"I don't quite understand what's the point of giving them clothes, then arresting them here, and then poisoning them?" another voice said.
"It's a matter of grace, we're just here to clean up the aftermath ... Hush. The "boo" sound, which was so short that it was almost inaudible, was because the person who spoke heard strange footsteps.
With Tu Yu here, he will never be able to carry out any covert actions.
The fire in front of him disappeared in an instant.
"Don't hide, I hear you. Entering a huge secret room, Tu Yu said, lighting a fire to illuminate the surroundings.
"Help... Life... There was a faint voice calling for help.
The sound came from a nearby dark room.
Hades has done shady things underground, and these later men in black are here to clean up the aftermath for him. This is Feng Chenghuang's speculation, and the next thing to figure out is who the employers of these people are.
"Who are you?" a voice appeared in the darkness where the fire could not be seen, "Is it 'those Assassins'?"
The Assassins?
Feng Chenghuang is quite sensitive to this word, thinking about how to ask questions to get more clues.
"We are rangers, but we want to ask who you are?" Tu Yu didn't think about it, so he said, "If you killed those people in the temple, I have a legitimate reason to have a good time with you." ”
Now that he has gone straight in, Feng Chenghuang also said: "I don't know who your employer is, but he sent you here to do business when the foggy sky was about to come and the city was on guard, I'm afraid he didn't think much about your life and death." "Feng Chenghuang is trying to disturb the minds of the enemy.
At this time, there was a faint voice of "help", and Feng Chenghuang added: "Leave a few lives, your sins will be lighter - you can't escape." ”
"So, you are Liao Han's people?"
Someone said that the owner of the voice came out of the darkness, but his whole body was wrapped in black clothes and black cloth, and he could not recognize who it was.
The man in black, Feng Chenghuang remembered the few he met during the day.
"Don't get me wrong," the man in black continued, "We don't know what's going on here, we saw a dark shadow here, we followed in, we didn't expect it to be like this......"
“......”
The man in black was still talking, Feng Chenghuang turned to the intersection where they came, and then whispered to Tu Yu and Wu'er: "Brother Tu Yu, Miss Wu'er, this person is delaying time, there are people coming down from the entrance, be careful." ”
It turned out that when Feng Chenghuang entered from the passage, he put two chess pieces at the door, and the middle was connected to the imperceptible aura silk, once someone touched the aura silk, the phoenix at the other end also had a sense.
When Tu Yu and Sister-in-law heard this, they turned their heads and said solemnly to Feng Chenghuang: "It's all this time, why do you still call us by the names of 'Brother Tu Yu' and 'Miss Sister-in-law', it's too outlanding, right?"
"It's just that it's too polite and uncomfortable!"
“......”
At this time, it was actually this kind of thing that was concerned, and Feng Chenghuang deeply admired these two people.
Then he said: "Okay, Tu Yu, sister-in-law, there are people at the entrance!" As soon as the words fell, a huge iron claw flew from the entrance, and the three of them immediately dodged.
At this moment, the man in black in front of him also immediately echoed the action, and also threw a huge iron claw at the three of them, Tu Yu moved quickly, and instantly blocked it with a halberd, but the iron claw was not only not blocked, but bit on the halberd.
"Looking for death!" Seeing this, Tu Yu exerted his strength, wanting to drag the man in black directly over, but suddenly there was a "flickering" wind next to him, and several iron claws attacked from the darkness, Tu Yu couldn't dodge, and his hands and feet were also bitten together.
It seems that there are quite a few people in ambush here.
"It's best not to move, the more you struggle, the tighter your claws become. Sure enough, another voice came, and five or six more men in black appeared on the side.
On the other side, the man in black at the entrance also appeared and said, "You didn't expect it, I was already waiting for you here." ”
"Phew, I already knew you were there!" said the woman with a grimace to the man in black who came later.
“...... Is it. ”
The man in black, who had been talking endlessly, said again: "If you don't resist, you can still die a comfortable death." ”
"Death?" Feng Chenghuang's face turned gloomy, and he said, "So, the soldiers in the Temple of Thankfulness were indeed killed by you?" Although he knew that the man in black was lying before, Feng Chenghuang still had a trace of the possibility of "someone else".
But through the faintly flickering firelight in the darkness, before the man in black could answer, Feng Chenghuang had already seen the answer from his mocking eyes.
Do it.
The chess pieces that had been ambushed at the entrance before began to move, wrapping the feet of the black-clothed man who was attacking from behind, and when the black-clothed man was panicking, Feng Chenghuang quickly shot out and shot nine chess pieces at his chest, hitting the enemy.
The man in black let out a series of deep screams, and was nailed to the wall behind him by the nine sons.
Seeing this, the black-clothed people in front were surprised that he actually ignored Tu Yu, who had been restrained by his own side, and took matters into his own hands. Just as they were about to tear apart the iron claws that were biting Tu Yu, they first felt a burning sensation in their palms, and then with a few "ahs", they all let go of the chains in their hands.
The chains are amazingly hot.
"What the hell are you doing?" said a few men in black.
The flames burning on Tu Yu's body gradually revealed, and he only heard him say: "It's just 'warm-up' in advance, do you need to make a fuss?"
With that, he removed the iron claws that had been loosened on his body and slammed them around.
This blow flew a few people in black, but it was about to affect Feng Chenghuang and Jiu Wu'er next to him, only to hear Jiu Wu'er shouting, "Ah Huang is lying down!" Feng Chenghuang hurriedly leaned down and dodged the flying dragon head claws.
"Massacre, look at the situation around you!" said to Tu Yu as she lay on the ground.
"Hahaha, you two can hide anyway, let's just do it!" Tu Yu said.
In one move, it was enough to see that Tu Yu's strength was outstanding, and several black-clothed people turned their guns and prepared to make a move on Jiu Yu'er.
As soon as the idea was formed, several black flying knives immediately shot out and flew towards Jiu Wu'er.
This flying knife is obviously a weapon designed to assassinate enemies in the dark, and it is difficult to distinguish it by sight, so Feng Chenghuang hurriedly used a chess piece to protect her with a chess piece just by relying on the sound of the wind.
But the angle of the flying knife did not hit the vital point as Feng Chenghuang thought, but avoided the main defensive part of Feng Chenghuang's chess pieces, and scratched her arms and calves.
"Sister-in-law!" Feng Chenghuang shouted.
She waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, I wrapped them with a branch, do it quickly!"
It turned out that the woman was concentrating on using the "All Creatures" to entangle the enemy, so she didn't have time to dodge the attack.
Sure enough, many vine branches appeared under the feet of the black-clothed men at some point, wrapping them around the ground.
Just as he was about to break away, Tu Yu had already come to them, and he shouted, "Hit the stake!" and waved the flaming jackal halberd, hitting all the black-clothed people who were entangled, with enough force to tear off the branches that were wrapped around them, and the bodies of several people directly smashed into the wall behind them.
Another man in black at the entrance tried to escape, but Feng Chenghuang shot him from behind with the "lock" made of two chess pieces, and he fell on the stairs, and then Feng Chenghuang dragged him to him and smashed him on the back of the head with a "falling piece".
These men in black seemed to have received a lot of training, but they were still a little powerless in the face of the three rangers, and they almost all fell in a short time.
Feng Cheng also made a judgment: the strength of the black-clothed people he encountered in the forest north of the city during the day was by no means comparable to these people in front of him.
"It's over just after the warm-up, it's too boring. Tu Yu poked a fallen man in black on the ground with a halberd and said.
"These people's moves are insidious, Brother Tu Yu, you have to be careful that they may have a back-up move. "Feng Chenghuang is colorful.
"Okay, Brother Chenghuang. Tu Yu replied.
This title is really uncomfortable coming out of Tu Yu's mouth, and Feng Chenghuang feels it.
The woman also felt uncomfortable, but it came from the wound, and judging from the number of moves of those black-clothed people, the previous flying knife should have been coated with poison.
No wonder there is no attack on the vital point.
Sister-in-law dealt with her injuries briefly,
"Let's get out of here first," Feng Chenghuang said, "I hope it's not a rotting corpse poison or something like that." ”
Although Feng Chenghuang was worried, he also knew that the carrion poison should not be used so easily, because once this poison went wrong, it would not only cause a huge sensation, but also take the user's own life.
"Five, six, seven... After the black-clothed people were defeated, Tu Yu squatted there and counted.
"Stop playing the massacre, hurry... Halfway through the conversation.
"What about the man in black who talked a lot before?" Tu Yu asked.
