Volume 1 The Southwest Storm Chapter 14 Dilemma
Dianjiang City is located more than 400 miles northwest of Jiangzhou City, at this time on the official road in the west of Dianjiang City, Shangguan Law and his party galloped on horseback, because of the exploration of Yitianhang delayed for most of the day, Shangguan Law was quite worried about the safety of the Absolute Sword Gate. While everyone was moving forward, Liao Yuheng suddenly exclaimed: "Uncle Shi, are the horses of the Absolute Sword Gate on the side of the road?!" Shangguan Lu heard the sound and looked, only to see a few horses beside the official road were grazing with their heads down, and seeing that the saddle style was the horse of the Juedaomen, Qingcheng sent everyone to hurriedly dismount to investigate, and did not find any trace of Liu Qingyuan and others. Shangguan Lu secretly thought: "There is no trace of a fight along the way, but there is no trace of this horse here, and sure enough, something happened!" β
Shangguan Lu was apprehensive, and led the crowd to continue to search the way forward, and after walking for about half a day, there was a shortage of people and horses, so it was convenient to find an open place on the side of the road, and rest for a while with their backs against the woods, and everyone sat on the ground to get food and water. Liao Yuheng sat around with Ling Qingshuang and other disciples, talking softly about what had happened in the past few days, mentioning that Yitianhang was full of pity, Ling Qingshuang was even redder, Liao Yuheng didn't know how to comfort this little junior sister, but vaguely heard someone behind him calling lightly, and when he turned around, he saw a person covered in blood, holding a broken knife and leaning on the trunk of a tree, looking at the clothes was a disciple of the Absolute Sword Gate, but under a closer look it was the senior brother Zhang Shang of the Absolute Sword Gate, Liao Yuheng hurriedly beckoned everyone to save Zhang Shang, and Shangguan Lu also rushed over to check the injury for him, It's just that Zhang Shang has been wounded in more than ten places, his face is pale and bloodless, and he is powerless to check his pulse again, and he can only live until now.
Zhang Shang opened his eyes slightly, and said with difficulty: "I'll wait to be ... Tang Gate... Bury... Volt, teacher... After the uncle's break, he was born. . . Die... I don't know, small... Bro... Dusk... Mystery, hidden... Yu Lin... Middle. With that, he died. As soon as Shangguan Lu heard that the situation was critical, he wanted to go to the rescue, but he couldn't bear to abandon Zhang Shang's body here, so he ordered two disciples to escort the body back to Dianjiang City.
Shangguan Lu's line of seven people continued to look along the road, and finally found the disgraced Ran Yunhan after a short walk, but there was no trace of Liu Qingyuan, and they did not meet the people of the Tang Gate, although there were traces of fighting and blood stains all over the ground in the ambush and fighting, but there was not a single corpse, Shangguan Law saw that this matter was a foregone conclusion and turned back along the original road, went to collect the bodies of several disciples of the Absolute Sword Gate and went to Dianjiang City, and rested in Dianjiang for a day or two before escorting Ran Yunhan to reject the Daomen, the strange thing is that Ran Xingzhou, the master of the Jue Dao Gate, did not declare war on the Tang Gate after learning the details, And the Tang Gate was silent for a while.
When the undercurrent between the Tang Gate and the Jue Dao Gate was surging and the murderous intent loomed, there was a person in the ancient tomb of Shuyang Mountain who was extremely depressed, this person looked at the cave that had been emptied, looked at the walls and ground that had been affected by Zhao Wufeng's knife qi, looked at the knife marks and gravel all over the ground, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Can you give me a way to live, I just climbed up from below, but the exit was blocked." "This person is none other than the black-clothed young man Yi Tianhang who hit the Tang Sect a few days ago.
This is also Tianhang jumping off the cliff that day is not an impulsive move, when Zhao Wufeng played the nine-ring broadsword extremely majestic, he went to investigate the entrance of the cave mentioned by Zhao Wufeng, outside the cave there is indeed a vine spreading and winding, as for the later jump, but he had already grabbed a vine in advance, jumped down and hung on the cliff, with the steep mountain, the protruding rock and the thick fog to cover the figure, and when the captain Li Jingkui stepped forward to check, he couldn't find anything at a glance. It's a pity that Qin Zhanxiong regards wealth as his life, and sends heavy soldiers to guard the property in the cave overnight, and he also hangs outside the cave and faintly hears the noisy sound in the cave and does not dare to move lightly, and the vine he is dragging is not strong, and it didn't last long before it breaks, Zhen'er Zhen'er fell off the cliff, fortunately, the streamer sword in his hand was extremely tough, and when he fell, a sword was inserted into the crack of the cliff, otherwise he really had to fall to death.
Yi Tianhang thought that since there was no way to live, it was better to go to the bottom of the valley to seek vitality, so he simply slowly went down to the bottom of the valley, found the grass hut built by Zhao Wufeng and lived temporarily, relying on the mountain stream to swim fish and wild fruits in the valley to satisfy his hunger, and in the bottom of the valley for a few days, he explored this paradise roughly, and finally came to a conclusion that there was no way out at the bottom. Yitian Hangxin climbed up along the vines again, fortunately he found the marks made by Zhao Wufeng along the way, and when he was exhausted after climbing for a day and a night, he finally returned to the cave in this tomb, and after a short rest, he embarked on a journey out of the tomb, all the way unimpeded, until the collapsed cave entrance, but found that the cave had already been filled by the Jiangzhou garrison camp, and he had no choice but to turn back, and he sighed at God's injustice helplessly.
Yi Tianhang stayed in the cave for another three or five days, and when he had nothing to do, he flipped through the two rolls of parchment, and lived on the stored wild fruits and fish, and saw that the ration was about to bottom, so he wanted to go down to the bottom of the valley again, at least he would not die of hunger there, but he was about to leave but heard a loud noise, and he only felt that the mountains were shaking, and he secretly said in his heart: "This tomb robber is really fat, and he actually opened the tomb with gunpowder under the nose of the Jiangzhou army." "Isn't this the time to see the light of day again? His heart was suddenly full of gratitude to this group of tomb robbers, and he hurriedly packed up, and set off to hide in the aisle between the two stone rooms, just waiting to avoid the thieves and go quietly.
Yi Tianhang hid in the corridor between the stone chambers for about a day or two, and in his sleep, he was dazed and heard someone whispering outside: "Senior brother, why did you say that the master of the door sent me here?" Nominally, it is to collect the bodies of the ancestor and the brothers, but with my Tang Sect acting in the past, this is obviously unreasonable, when has the master of the door been so merciful? In order to collect the corpse, he did not hesitate to bribe General Qin. β
Immediately afterwards, I heard another person reply: "Senior brother is still cautious, but brother Wei did hear some gossip, it is said that the person who died in this battle was the closed disciple of Elder Qi, although the disciple is actually a concubine, I waited for this trip to be the master of the door at the request of Elder Qi, came to retrieve the body of that person." It's just that I heard that the brothers who died here were all dismembered by Liu Qingyuan of the Absolute Sword Gate, and it is rumored that Liu Qingyuan is to avenge his son who died tragically two years ago, and it is our young master who killed his son. β
"Huh? Sure enough, there is a secretγγγγγγ β
"Yes, you and I don't have to worry about it, let's go, collect the bodies of the brothers, it's always a little too bad to hide here and be lazy."
The sound of this conversation became farther and farther away, and Yi Tianhang came out of the aisle, cautiously rushed to the exit, thinking in his heart: "It's actually the Tang Sect, if they find out, and they don't know what trouble will happen, it's better to go out as soon as possible." β
This person, bad luck often backfires. Yi Tianhang cautiously all the way to the round arched stone room, as long as you pass through any of the three passages can go straight to the exit, but at this time in the middle of the tomb out of a few people, all dressed in dark red robes, and the people of the Tang Sect, the leader is an old man, very majestic, look at the clothes are by no means ordinary, both sides saw each other, the leading old man was slightly stunned, opened his mouth and asked: "Who are you?" Why here? β
Yi Tianhang thought that he couldn't hide after all, and was about to make up a nonsense to fool the past, but the picturesque and heroic young disciple next to the old man said: "Old Qi, about the identity of this person, the disciple has a guess I don't know if I can talk about it?" β
"Oh? Although, there is no need to be polite with the old man. Elder Qi seemed to be extremely polite to this young disciple.
"The disciple guessed that this person was the main owner who hit the fourth uncle and Guanjie, the young man who pretended to be Jiang Wei! According to Guanjie, the perpetrator was about the same age as him, dressed in black, with an unsheathed rusty sword, and the disciple should not be wrong about this person's appearance, but I don't know how he lived in this tomb for so many days. After the young disciple finished speaking, Elder Qi squinted at Yi Tianhang, looked at it slightly, and said coldly: "Not bad, take it!" β
Under this order, the four people beside the young disciple shot almost at the same time, how could Yi Tianhang sit still and wait to die, as soon as he saw the other party's move, he swept towards the tomb on the right hand like an arrow, and the sword dance blocked several hidden weapons, and the entrance was already close in sight. Although this Elder Qi had heard about the things in the tomb, after all, he had been rampant in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he didn't pay attention to the black-clothed young man in front of him at all, and only said to the young disciple beside him: "The four of them may not be able to stop it." β
The young disciple beside Elder Qi was also extraordinary, and he could instantly deduce Yi Tianhang's identity with just one face, and his thoughtfulness was different from ordinary people. The young disciple responded and ran towards Yi Tianhang, his hands were not idle, several hidden weapons hit Yi Tianhang's way, Yi Tianhang was running hard, seeing that there was a hidden weapon blocking the way, he hurriedly waved his sword to block, and finally was blocked, and the four Tang disciples took the opportunity to catch up and fight with Yi Tianhang. Elder Qi stood with his hands in his hands, watching coldly as if watching a play, the young disciple did not join the battle, and only stood guard on the periphery after stopping Yi Tianhang.
Yi Tianhang said secretly: "These people actually fought in close quarters in order to stop me, since you didn't hesitate to die, then don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword." Yi Tianhang pretended to be invincible, and wanted to lead the four people to the entrance of the tomb, but when the time came, he killed the four people and fled, but unfortunately he was recognized by the young disciple, and a few hidden weapons beat Yi Tianhang back, Yi Tianhang couldn't help but look at the young disciple a few more times, and secretly said in his heart: "There is such a handsome man in this world." β
The plan was discovered, so he had to think of another way, and after fighting for about ten moves, Yi Tianhang changed his previous style of play and suddenly became difficult, a sword pierced a person's chest, and then turned around and wiped a person's throat with a sword, leaned over to dodge a blow and another sword pierced a person's lower abdomen, forcing the last person to retreat to the young disciple.
Yi Tianhang used this person's figure to cover it, only three or four steps away from the young disciple, between the lightning and flint, I saw that the young disciple flashed sideways, let the retreating Tang Sect disciple over, raised his hand and shot several hidden weapons in the direction of Yi Tianhang, but he didn't want to see Yi Tianhang's figure anywhere, he looked sideways, but saw that Yi Tianhang had taken advantage of this time to escape to the entrance of the tomb, and he couldn't stop it. The young disciple was a little annoyed, glanced at Elder Qi and followed Yi Tianhang into the tomb, Elder Qi didn't seem to be worried, glanced at the coffin on the high platform, and strode into the secret passage under the coffin.
Yi Tianhang and the handsome young disciple entered the tomb one after another, but the remaining Tang Sect disciple was at a loss, not knowing whether to follow Elder Qi or go to hunt down Yi Tianhang together, so he had to stand by in place to guard this round arched stone room.
In the tomb, Yi Tianhang heard the movement behind him, knew that someone was chasing him, and guessed that there must be someone guarding the exit in front of him, and thought in his heart: "Listening to the footsteps, there should be only one person chasing after him, but he can be restrained first, if the exit is guarded, he can be used as a hostage, and if no one guards him, he will be killed." After thinking about it, Yi Tianhang quickened his pace, looking for a place where he could hide and ambush.
The young disciple followed closely, seeing that he was about to catch up with Yi Tianhang, a corner but disappeared Yi Tianhang's figure, at this time he was alone and had no help, so he had to carefully slow down and look around, and saw that there was no hiding place around him and wanted to continue to chase, and was about to speed up his pace, but suddenly jumped on his head, this young disciple only subconsciously exclaimed, and was knocked down and suppressed, only to feel that the neck was coiled around two arms, and he was locked and couldn't break free, and he struggled a few times and his red ears were out of breath, and he fainted in a moment.
Yi Tianhang saw that he had succeeded, so he let go of his arms, got up and looked at the person on the ground, then tore off a rag from the hem of his clothes, tied his hands behind his waist and tied it firmly, after thinking about it, he was still not at ease, and went to touch the hidden weapons and poisons on the person, all of them were searched out and thrown aside, but he found that the body of the Tang disciple who was strangled was not as soft as a man, so he turned him over and looked at it carefully. Although the tomb is dim, the flawless face is carefully examined, the snow-white neck is extremely smooth, and there are no male features at all, "Sure enough, you chased after you, and it was a woman." Yi Tianhang looked at it clearly and said to himself.
Yitianhang is not a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, what is the difference between a man and a woman, just a meat ticket.
