In the evil tomb, the Wuju people are divided into two groups, each going in opposite directions.

Zhang Xiyun walked at the end and carefully inspected the big tomb he was in now.

"Brother Zhang. ”

Hearing Fang Ran call him, he looked back at Fang Ran.

"Brother Fang, what's the matter?"

Fang Ran said in a low voice, "Did you see the person walking with Liu Hao?"

He looked ahead, and beside Liu Hao, who was the leader, a burly man walked side by side with him.

"What?" Zhang Xiyun wondered.

Fang Ran said apologetically: "I was negligent for a while before, and I didn't talk to Brother Zhang in detail, and I hope Brother Zhang will forgive me." ”

Zhang Xiyun was puzzled, and then spoke: "That person is also one of the seven monks who have completed the Bagua Perfection, his name is Pang Hong, he is a disciple of Guiling Mountain in Xihe Prefecture, and he has some grudges with my brother and sister."

Zhang Xiyun realized that Fang Ran's brothers and sisters had nearly thirty people to follow, but after the test before entering the tomb, plus Zhang Xiyun was only nineteen, it was naturally difficult to defeat the alliance between Liu Hao and Pang Hong, and their brothers and sisters had a grudge against Pang Hong, I am afraid that he was worried that Pang Hong would find fault.

"This is a bit troublesome" Zhang Xiyun muttered, he was also a little unhappy in his heart, their brother and sister had such a strong enemy, but they didn't say it explicitly when they let themselves join the gang, but they hid it from him, but now he can't say anything, since Fang Ran told himself about it now, it's not too late, if he doesn't say it all the time, he will trap himself.

Moreover, almost everyone saw Fang Ran talking and laughing with him all the way, even if he didn't agree to go with them at that time, I am afraid that he would have been regarded as someone on the side of Fang Ran's brothers and sisters.

"I don't know why Brother and Sister Ling have a feud with Pang Hong?" he asked Fang Ran about this, wanting to judge whether their feud would make Pang Hong die in this tomb.

Fang Ran sighed and said, "Actually, it's a feud. ”

"My brother and sister are from Lingmiao Mountain, and Pang Hong is a disciple of Guiling Mountain, the patriarch of the sect is the same person, but the two disciples of the patriarch have always been at odds, after the death of the patriarch, they set up their own doors, for thousands of years, has been fighting for the orthodoxy of the patriarch"

It turned out to be a dispute between the masters, and there was no killing feud between the three of them, so it was better, at least Pang Hong would not put people to death regardless of everything.

"In this case, if there is something within three days, I can do my best to help you. Zhang Xiyun pondered for a moment.

Fang Ran saluted and said, "Thank you Brother Zhang for your understanding." ”

"Now there are only six people on the left, but there are only six of our people, I am worried, so I hurriedly told Brother Zhang about this, and I also want Brother Zhang to be more vigilant. ”

Zhang Xiyun nodded, stopped talking, and everyone kept walking forward.

"I've been gone for an hour, and I haven't even reached the stone bridge," said someone in front of him.

"Yes, the stone bridge seemed to be not far away, but I didn't expect it to be so far away from us. Someone chimed in.

Some people complained: "After walking for so long, don't talk about strange flowers, and we haven't even seen a single weed, I'm afraid it's wrong for us to go this way."

Even Pang Hong had some doubts in his eyes and looked at Liu Hao beside him.

Liu Hao ignored everyone's words, and just said indifferently: "Don't say that the tomb is weird, the two examiners have said that strange flowers are hard to find, how long have you been impatient?"

Hearing Liu Hao speak, everyone didn't dare to say anything more, so they had to keep their mouths shut.

Pang Hong smiled and said, "Brother Liu, why are you so serious? It is also because you are in the tomb, you are inevitably a little impetuous. ”

Liu Hao was noncommittal, but said: "Instead of complaining a lot, it's better to speed up the journey, that bridge is the only way to reach the other side, and strange flowers will bloom nearby." ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, Liu Hao said it well, that bridge is so important, it would not be unusual for strange flowers to really bloom around there.

For a moment the crowd had renewed motivation and quickened their pace, and after another hour they finally came to the stone bridge.

The stone bridge looks very quaint, with traces of erosion over time, and the deck looks more like a bridge that is often crossed by people, and it is badly worn.

Most of the people who discovered this detail frowned, and Zhang Xiyun was one of them.

"It's strange, how can the stone bridge in a big tomb have such wear and tear, this should be caused by the wear and tear caused by a small bridge like the one in the Imperial Capital City," he frowned and said in his heart.

He was already a little reluctant to get close to the bridge, but the matter had developed to this point, and it was impossible for him to escape, so it would be better to find out the matter to make him feel more at ease.

Someone noticed the abnormality, his heart was terrified, he laughed dryly, and changed the topic: "There don't seem to be any strange flowers near this bridge, it's wrong to think about this road, why don't we go back."

A few people echoed his proposal, but most ignored him, secretly speculating in their hearts.

Liu Hao pondered for a moment and said to everyone: "Not necessarily"

"At that time, the examiners specifically said about this bridge, presumably they thought that we might stay here for a long time, if there are no strange flowers here, I really don't believe it."

"Besides, it has been said that I will return in twelve hours, and although this bridge is indeed unsettling, not everywhere in the tomb is just as strange, and if I wait to go back at this time, it will be a waste of time waiting for the people who have gone to the right to return. ”

Liu Hao continued to speak: "That's it, now only two hours have passed, I will wait for another four hours, if I still find nothing, I will not continue to go deeper." ”

They walked all the way, in order to carefully look for strange flowers, if they took off, the time could be shortened by at least half, and they had planned to walk for nine hours, and when they returned, they would no longer walk, but now they saw that the bridge was strange, and found nothing, so they had to obey the wishes of the majority.

Liu Hao is the leader, and the rest of the people will naturally not object to what he says, and Zhang Xiyun and the others can only agree.

Now that it was decided, everyone hurried to continue their journey, but in fact it was because the bridge was too strange, and although they were monks, they were also afraid of the tomb of the ancient monks, and even more afraid that something unknown would come from the other side of the bridge

Fang Ran felt that these people were too unfounded, the examiner had already said that the Xianlu monk had to cross the bridge, since this was the case, then no matter how weird this bridge was, it would definitely not be a big deal.

"Wait, look at that!" Suddenly, someone stopped the people who were about to leave.

When they looked back, they saw the man pointing to a gap in the two stone stairs under the stone bridge.

In the gap between the two stone steps, something seemed to sway in it, bringing a touch of red.

Zhang Xiyun's heart moved, he walked at the back, closest to the stone bridge, and hurriedly ran to the stone bridge, only to see a blood-red flower leaf exposed in the gap between the two stone stairs on the stone bridge.

"Manzhu Shahua!" Zhang Xiyun exclaimed, and the people behind him also hurriedly ran over.

For a while, everyone looked at the blood-red flower leaf, and their faces were excited.

"This is a strange flower?" Pang Hong hesitated.

Liu Hao said: "I'm afraid it is, it's so bizarre, you can recognize it if you really see it." ”

The person who first discovered the strange flower said excitedly: "This is what I found, it should be mine!"

Everyone was silent, and no one wanted to give up this strange flower that was hard to see.

When the man saw everyone's expressions, he knew that they didn't want to give up, and he was annoyed in his heart, why didn't he hold back and shout just now, he should come back later and take it secretly.

He was so anxious that he hurriedly rushed up to take the Manju Sawa he had found.

When Zhang Xiyun saw his body move, he guessed his thoughts, and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Even if this strange flower belongs to you, do you want to just pull it out?" Don't forget that the examiner said that the strange flower will wither once it comes into contact with vitality!"

The man also thought about this when he heard this, and hurriedly withdrew his outstretched hand.

Liu Hao glanced at Zhang Xiyun, and then said, "Yes, we have to think about how to take flowers first." ”

"Don't fight anymore, since this flower was discovered by Brother Li, it belongs to Brother Li, only blame us for not looking for it carefully, and we can't complain about others. ”

After Liu Hao finished speaking, some people were obviously dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to refute him, but Pang Hong agreed with Liu Hao's opinion, in fact, for the strong, it doesn't matter who the strange flowers fall into first, because they have enough strength to grab their own hands.

The scene was silent for a while, this strange peanut plant was in the cracks, and it couldn't touch the vitality, how to take it out?

Fang Ran hesitated: "Why don't you use your strength to condense into a phantom and pull it out?"

"But I don't know if the strength condensed by the monk can be regarded as a breath of life?" someone wondered.

Everyone talked about it, although this strange flower no longer belonged to them, but they would definitely take flowers in the future, and the method of taking flowers was actually about everyone.

In the end, it was naturally decided by Liu Hao, "There is no other way, this strange peanut is here, there are too few ways to take it out, it is better to try this method, everyone can also know whether it is feasible to take flowers like this." ”

After all, he looked at the person who had just discovered the strange flower, after all, this was a strange flower that belonged to him, if this method didn't work, then he would be the one who lost.

Although the man was unwilling to take risks, there was no other way but to be this guinea pig, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will do as you say." ”

Liu Hao nodded, and said, "Who wants to try to take flowers?"

Zhang Xiyun didn't know why Liu Hao didn't try it himself, but he didn't have the intention of trying.

"If Brother Li can be trusted, why don't I try it. Zhang Xiyun was slightly surprised, but the person who spoke was Fang Ran.

Now that the decision has been made, the man is simply the same, he doesn't dare to do it himself, it is better to let someone else do it for him.

"Naturally, I can trust Brother Fang. ”

Seeing that he agreed, Fang Ran stepped forward, using the strength in his body, wanting to condense the void.

"Your three-legged cat's cultivation, let's get out of the way, save a strange flower!"

Just as Fang Ran was about to take the flowers, Pang Hong walked out, stretched out his hand to push Fang Ran away, and glanced at Fang Ran with extreme contempt.

"You!" Fang Ran said angrily.

Pang Hong sneered: "Lingmiao Mountain, they are all people who sell their fame and reputation, and the disciples in the sect are also imaginary, let this kind of person take flowers for you, Brother Li, are you not afraid that he will secretly destroy your strange flowers?"

The man's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't answer.

Fang Ran naturally had a conflict at this time, and it would only be himself who would suffer, so he didn't argue with him, snorted coldly, and said, "Then ask Brother Pang to come and pick up the flowers." ”

"Since you don't have that ability, don't delay others, but your Lingmiao Mountain is passed down in one line."

Pang Hong sneered, looked at the Lord of Strange Flowers, and the man hurriedly said, "Then I will bother Brother Pang to help." ”

Pang Hong snorted lightly and walked to the stone staircase, the energy in his body was running, and he condensed the phantom of his hands.

"This person is so strong," Zhang Xiyun secretly exclaimed, "He is worthy of being a monk who has completed the gossip, with majestic strength and strong physical body, with my current strength, I am afraid that the chance of winning against him is less than forty percent." ”

"And that Liu Hao is even stronger than him"

Fang Ran also felt the qi emitted by Pang Hong at this moment, his face was not good-looking, Pang Hong was much stronger than him, even Fang Yu was inferior.

Pang Hong's condensed hands were illusory, and he gently followed the blood-red flower leaf deep into the crack, trying to uproot it.

"It's not dry!"

"The phantom touches the flowers and leaves, and the strange flowers are not abnormal!"

At this time, everyone kept talking, and the Lord of Strange Flowers was even more overjoyed, saying that he was the first person to get Strange Flowers in this martial arts!

"Since it is feasible to condense the phantom of the strength qi, then presumably the phantom of the soul soldier or the monk of Shenyan should also be able to take the flower!"

The Manzhu Sawa was uprooted by Pang Hong from the cracks and completely exposed to everyone.

The flowers and leaves are blood-red, the root diameter is pitch black, and when the petals sway, it will bring bursts of dark red glow.

"I've never seen such a beautiful flower, and it deserves to be regarded as a strange flower," someone lamented.

Zhang Xiyun smiled secretly, and said in his heart If you know that this flower represents the underworld, attracts the souls of the dead, and is called the Huangquan Dead Man's Flower, I don't know if you will have such a sigh.

"Take out the Qiankun bag quickly, the Qiankun bag is a dead thing, as long as there is no living object in it, it is the best place to store strange flowers!" Liu Hao said.

The man hurriedly took out his Qiankun bag and asked Pang Hong to put the strange flowers in it.

When the strange flowers arrived, he was naturally full of joy, which made others jealous.

"Since the strange flowers bloom in the cracks of the stone staircase, and maybe there are also in the cracks in this bridge, shall we look for them?" someone suggested.

"Isn't that okay?" the examiner said, I can't wait to cross the bridge. Someone hesitated.

"Who said we were going to cross the bridge, we didn't go to the other side, we just looked for strange flowers on the bridge. Some people agreed to this proposal and wanted to go up to the bridge to look for it.

For a while, everyone quarreled again, and Zhang Xiyun was naturally the one who didn't want to go on the bridge, after all, this stone bridge made him too uneasy.

"Since many people want to go to the bridge to find, I think this stone bridge is also extremely long, otherwise it will be limited to the middle of the bridge, people who want to go to the bridge to find can only find the middle of the stone bridge at most, if there is no strange flower in the first half, then the possibility of strange flowers in the second half is very low. ”

In the end, Liu Hao and Pang Hong decided to let everyone go to the bridge to look for them, but they also set restrictions to ensure a certain amount of safety.

"Brother Zhang, do you want to go up to the bridge?" Fang Ran asked.

Zhang Xiyun shook his head and said, "I don't plan to go on the bridge." ”

Fang Ran was a little surprised, Zhang Xiyun explained: "I think that the strange flowers blooming in the cracks are just accidental, and there will be no strange flowers on the bridge at all." ”

He pointed to Liu Hao not far away and said, "Look at Liu Hao, although he agreed, he didn't mean to go to the bridge." ”

Sure enough, after Liu Hao and everyone gave a few words, they said that those who didn't want to go on the bridge could rest at the bridge for a while and set off again for half an hour.

"Brother Liu, aren't you going to go up the bridge?" asked Pang Hong.

Liu Hao said with a smile: "Brother Pang is not unclear, this is just an accident, it is almost impossible to have strange flowers on this bridge, but they don't give up, and I don't want to be resented in vain, so it's better to let them find it." ”

Pang Hong laughed loudly and said: "These stupid people have never dared to gamble on luck, but they don't know that the real strong have always taken that luck by themselves!"

"Then why does Brother Pang still have to go to the bridge?" asked Liu Hao.

Pang Hong turned his head to look at the stone bridge and said, "I just dare to be interested in this bridge, I am interested in the other end of the bridge, and I want to go up and have a look."

Liu Hao smiled and said, "Since this is the case, it is up to you Brother Pang, but please Brother Pang Mo went to the other side out of curiosity." ”

Pang Hong nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Brother Liu is going to rest here?"

"I'm going to explore the road ahead on my own, and it's more likely that there are strange flowers ahead, and I'll be back in half an hour. Liu Hao replied.

After the two finished speaking, Liu Hao explained to everyone again, and went forward alone.

Under the stone bridge, except for Zhang Xiyun and a few others, the rest of the people boarded the stone bridge.

When everyone boarded the stone bridge, Zhang Xiyun, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, couldn't help but shiver, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the tomb.

He opened his eyes suddenly, as if he heard a murmur from time immemorial.

"I would like to be a stone bridge" (to be continued.) )
