Chapter 31: Finished Fighting?

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

Around the lakeside camp, a group of two black yamen with probe rods and shovels probed and excavated in the yellow sand, looking for traces of the stone stele.

With the departure of the Night Terrors, the girls' families lost their interest in enjoying the scenery and went into their tents to rest.

Because it was not time to go to bed yet, Hua Qingzhi did not go to bed, but just sat in the small triangular tent, secretly took out her purse, and took out a jade object from it to play with.

The jade is a small jasper turtle, which was purchased in Yun'an before, and it was a small ornament for birds, and later Hua Qingzhi came to the door to deliver a pen, and Night Terror Hall took this thing as a gift and gave it to Hua Qingzhi.

Hua Qingzhi used the moonlight to gently rub the little turtle that means longevity, and recalled the bits and pieces since they met.

It's a pity that she just got up this time, and she didn't think about it for long, when she suddenly found a gust of night wind blowing into the tent:

Call~

Then the light dimmed violently, and in front of her eyes, a handsome man in a black robe appeared, almost directly to her face.

?!

Hua Qingzhi was caught off guard and almost screamed, but after reacting, she hurriedly hid her hand behind her waist, and before she could speak, she found that her body was light, and then a strong push back feeling came, and she was forced to press her to the man's chest, and the surrounding scenery was instantly blurred under the acceleration.

"Huh?"

Hua Qingzhi's eyes were full of circles, and she hugged the back of Night Terror Hall tightly, dazed;

"Yegongzi, what are you doing?"

The Night Terror Hall was afraid that the people in the tomb would come out, and they found that they were startling the snakes in a strange way, and they went back and forth very quickly, and at this time, they put their arms around Hua Qingzhi's waist with one hand and walked quickly in the sea of sand, and responded:

"Find an ancient tomb with a stone tablet in it, you can help me read the inscription."

"Tombs?"

When Hua Qingzhi heard this, she looked back at the camp that was quickly moving away:

"Where?"

"Right ahead."

The distance of Balidi is not close, but for a martial artist of the level of Night Terror, the round trip is only instantaneous.

Night Terror Hall hugged Hua Qingzhi, and soon returned to the vicinity of the cave entrance, the two guards and the horses were in place, and the bird squatted on the sand dune to keep an eye on it, and when he saw him coming, he shook his head and signaled that no one came out.

Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall jumped directly through the entrance of the cave and returned to the catacombs again.

After Hua Qingzhi met the Night Terror Hall, to be honest, it was an eye-opener.

She herself is the eldest lady of a wealthy family, and she does not go out of the door all day long, and she is accompanied by poetry, and she has never even seen a chicken.

As a result, after encountering the Night Terror Hall, he either watched the Night Terror Hall cut people like cutting vegetables, or ran to the Nine Shadows Underground to explore, kicked his head with his feet, and lived in an inn where people had died.

And that's not enough, now take her directly and start robbing the tomb!

Hua Qingzhi didn't have any ability to protect herself, she was already relatively timid, where did she dare to drill into the tomb of the dead, after falling into the hole, she closed her eyes, hugged the arm of the night terror, and didn't dare to look around:

"Night Boy ......"

"Shh~"

Knowing that she was scared, Night Terror folded her arms around her waist and went deeper into the graveyard:

"There are other people in here, try to keep quiet."

Others?

When Hua Qingzhi heard this, she naturally misunderstood, hugged the neck of the night terror, and didn't dare to come out.

The night terror hall was suddenly pressed tightly by the girl, and he could even feel the soft touch of the placket, but the identity of the opponent was not clear, and he didn't dare to be distracted at this time, just carefully paid attention to the wind and grass in the tomb, and walked deeper.

This large tomb buried in the ground obviously does not belong to ordinary people, and the scale is quite large, strictly speaking, it is a 'underground palace'.

Night Terror Hall hugged Hua Qingzhi, walked around for a while, and came to the stone room with the stone tablet again, according to the structure, this should be just the tomb door, and it has not yet entered the inside.

As the light appeared, Hua Qingzhi also opened her eyes, and after making sure that there was nothing dirty around, she cautiously looked at the stone tablet with dense handwriting.

Night Terror Hall paid attention to the tunnel behind him, and after waiting for a moment, he asked:

"What is written?"

Hua Qingzhi finished reading it from beginning to end, and said in a low voice:

"This is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, which should have been erected after his death, recording the life and deeds of the First Emperor Wu, and warning future generations not to disturb the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."

Night Terror Hall frowned: "Didn't the First Emperor go over the last mountain?" Why are you buried here again? ”

Hua Qingzhi is familiar with history books, and thought about it:

"The annals of history clearly record that the first emperor died at the age of sixty-three and was buried in the mausoleum of the first emperor.

"Generally, after the emperor ascends the throne, he will arrange for the Ministry of Industry to repair the imperial mausoleum for himself, and such a large underground palace will take more than ten years to repair.

"I guess it's the first emperor who asked for immortals, and this imperial tomb has already been repaired. After the first emperor attained enlightenment, he didn't want future generations to know about this, and the imperial tomb that happened to be repaired was not needed, so he pushed the boat down the river and buried the stele here, so that the world thought he was dead. ”

After listening to the Night Terror Hall, he realized that this statement made some sense, so he hugged Hua Qingzhi and entered the tomb at the back.

Because someone has been here before, the broken dragon stones, mechanisms, etc. along the way have all been eliminated, and the road can be called unimpeded.

After walking for a while, the Night Terror Hall came to a palace in the deepest part of the underground palace, and there was a large golden coffin in the center, which had not lost its color after thousands of years, and the Buddha statue and the coiled dragon pattern on the surface could be seen.

The golden coffin had been opened at this time, and the Night Terror Hall brought Hua Qingzhi to the front, looked into it, and sure enough, found that there were no corpses inside, but a downward staircase, and I don't know where it leads.

Hua Qingzhi stood in the tomb, really a little scared, and whispered:

"Shall we go into the coffin?"

The night terror hall is coming, how can it not go in, holding Hua Qingzhi at the moment, silently falling into the golden coffin, walking down the stairs, and then going all the way forward.

This road obviously does not belong to the Great Tomb, the distance is very long, and you can see that there seems to be light on the other side, but the distance is not a few miles, even the Night Terror Hall is not obvious.

After walking for a long time, the light spot on the other end gradually became clear, and Night Terror Hall slowed down and covered Hua Qingzhi's mouth.

Seeing this, Hua Qingzhi's heart suddenly hung in her throat, and she carefully held her breath.

As it continued to go deeper, the speed of the Night Terror Hall became slower and slower, and the light in the distance of the tunnel gradually became clearer.

Night Terror Hall looked inside carefully, but was stunned in the bottom of his heart.

At the end of the tunnel, there is a rather solemn and solemn hall, surrounded by various mural texts, and in the center stands a black stone tablet that has been cut off.

In front of the stele, fourteen people sat in a neat row, staring intently ahead, there was no movement except for breathing, the scene was a little weird, and it looked like an unknown cult ritual.

Among the fourteen people, most of them are familiar faces, in addition to Cao Aning, Xu Tianying, and Uncle Hua, there are also Li Si, Yin Gonggong, Xu Gonggong, and the four Northern Liang masters who have seen in Duolan Valley.

Night Terror Hall was a little embarrassed to see so many acquaintances, after all, many of them were his own secret piles, and he obviously couldn't cut the mess with a quick knife.

But blocking so many main forces of Beiliang, he can't just let go and turn around and leave, he has to kill two.

Night Terror Hall thought about it secretly, and then looked at the stone monument that these people were observing.

The black stele is engraved with a Buddha statue, looking at the shape of the six arms, it is the three-sided six-armed Buddha statue outside the Panlong Cave, but the head is cut off, and you can't see all of them.

The carving of the Buddha statue is extremely delicate, and even fingerprints can be seen.

Because of the experience of participating in the Minglong diagram, the Night Terror Hall found that the way this Buddha statue transmits information is the same as the Minglong diagram, which should be Wu Taizu when he created the Minglong diagram, referring to this method.

However, the way of recording is the same, but the content of the record is very different.

Night Terror Hall carefully studied the Buddha statue and found that the hidden veins in it were the same as the Ming Dragon diagram in the general direction, but the route was not the same.

To put it simply, it is like two exercises of different origins, although the purpose is to let people 'practice muscles and bones on the outside and breath on the inside', but the practice methods are completely different.

In addition, the things taught by Wu Taizu are very detailed, it can be said that they are chewed up and fed to their mouths, even if it is a miscellaneous fish like the 'wingless owl', you can learn it if you study it carefully with the Ming Dragon Diagram.

And this stone tablet is obviously a bit obscure, pure stream of consciousness, as if only saying that the answer has no solution process, and whether you can learn to learn it all depends on your own understanding.

Night Terror Hall has the experience of practicing the Ming Dragon Diagram, and the martial arts perception is profound, and the talent and comprehension are even better, but in this case, after watching it for half a quarter of an hour, I didn't figure out the exact context of the first arm, and I only saw that this arm and the Dragon Elephant Diagram had the same path.

He is like this, the martial artists below Wu Kui are basically reading the book of heaven, no wonder these dozen people sit here and think about it.

Night Terror Hall is also a martial artist, and when he finds such a difficult thing, he naturally looks more attentively and doesn't pay attention to the time.

And just when both sides were seriously understanding and Hua Qingzhi was worried, two voices suddenly came from the top of the main hall:

Boom~

Boom~

The Night Terror Hall suddenly came back to its senses, looked upward, and then secretly said that something was not goodβ€”according to the distance of the tunnel, this place had reached the vicinity of Crescent Bay, that is, below the former Tiantan Lake; The sound came from the surface, and it was supposed to be a black man who was exploring, and accidentally poked a stone under the sand.

The Night Terror Hall accidentally blocked Uncle Hua's retreat, as long as these people ran out, he was obviously not very easy to give way, so he wanted to retreat quietly at the moment, and then do it when he went out, so as to give Uncle Hua a chance to escape.

But he obviously underestimated his general Aning!

β€”β€”

Click~

In the stone hall, Father-in-law Ziliang heard the sound of digging sand above, frowned, and said in a low voice:

"There's someone up there."

More than ten people present frowned when they heard the words, and they were wary.

Li Si has already had a psychological shadow since the Wu Ma Ministry and his party, looked up and glanced at it, and said in a low voice:

"It can't be the Night Terrors Hall popping up again, right?"

Cao Aning sat behind his father-in-law, listened to the movement slightly, shook his head and said:

"The Night Yama is not an immortal, how could he appear above us for no reason. And with the style of the Night Yama, if he comes, he won't dig up the sand slowly, and he should be standing behind him...... After......?! ”

The stone hall suddenly fell silent.

Cao Aning instinctively turned his head as he spoke, but in a blink of an eye, he found that in the depths of the straight corridor behind him, there was a shadow that seemed to be nothing, without any movement or sound, and he didn't know when he appeared there, and he didn't know how long he had been staring at them.

!!

Cao Aning Rao was almost used to it, and his heart was still shocked by this scene of words.

Boom~

Ziliang's father-in-law and others found that Cao Aning's reaction was wrong, and immediately got up and looked behind.

Because of the distance and the lack of light, everyone couldn't tell who the shadow in the depths of the tunnel was, and they couldn't even tell whether it was a human or a ghost.

Hua Junchen swallowed his saliva and took the lead in speaking:

"Who?"

Step, step......

As the sound came out, the sound of footsteps sounded from the depths of the aisle.

Ziliang's father-in-law lowered his hands, squinted his eyes and observed carefully, and after a while, he saw the outline of a man, and then the black robe that frightened the north and south rivers and lakes gradually appeared in his eyes!

"Hissβ€”β€”!"

"It's over......"

More than a dozen people who were still facing the enemy immediately showed chaos!

Gonggong Yin and the others and the four masters of Beiliang just saw the corner of the black robe, and their hearts were like ashes, and they even lost their fighting spirit, and their faces turned pale and retreated.

And although Ziliang's father-in-law and others were still able to stabilize their momentum, their hearts also jumped suddenly!

Treading ......

The sound of unhurried footsteps, from far and near in the aisle, sounded in everyone's ears, like a life-seeking Yama coming from the endless purgatory.

Hua Junchen found out that his son-in-law had caught him in the urn, and a nameless fire suddenly surged out of his heart, after all, how could he escape logically?

He can't get out, can he?

Hua Junchen held the sword, gritted his teeth and stepped forward:

"I'll stop him, you go first!"

Father-in-law Ziliang and others, seeing Hua Junchen's courage and loyalty to this point, were all impressed, but this method obviously didn't work.

After all, this hall is completely sealed, there are ambushes on board, and there are Yama in front, even if Hua Junchen sacrifices his life to block the Night Terror Hall, where can they escape?

And with Hua Junchen's strength, can he block the Night Devil's sword?

Tread, step.

Just when everyone was silent, the black-clothed Hades, who might tick everyone's names off the book of life and death at any time, suddenly stopped.

Night Terror Hall stood in the dark, only the tips of his shoes were illuminated by the firelight shining in the hall, and his right hand was behind his back, pulling Hua Qingzhi, who was very afraid and did not dare to take half a step away from him.

A Ning is so sharp-eyed, the Night Terror Hall is actually quite helpless, in order to create a reasonable chance for a few people to get out, he naturally will not kill it, but pretend to be cautious and say:

"Father-in-law Ziliang, Hua Junchen, Xu Tianying...... The twelve servants and even the masters of the rivers and lakes of Beiliang came out together, and it was a big battle. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Everyone in the stone hall suddenly reacted when they heard the opening of the Night Terror Hall - their more than a dozen masters, as well as the three martial arts heroes of Ziliang Gonggong, Hua Junchen, and Xu Tianying, pressed the formation, and fought with all their might, and it was not without a chance to kill them.

The Night Terror Hall didn't rush in directly now, so it was obvious that they were still jealous......

Thinking of this, Gonggong Yin and others, who had already begun to recall the rivers and lakes in this life, held up their momentum again and put on a look like they were facing a great enemy.

Father-in-law Ziliang is the head of the twelve servants of Yandu, and he has also eaten the elixir of Beiliang Lian, and his strength stands out among a group of people, but he obviously has not touched the threshold of the martial saint.

In this kind of terrain and night terrors, only the other party was killed one by one, and after a little consideration, Ziliang's father-in-law stepped forward slowly:

"You break through from above, and our family will stop him for a moment."

Gonggong Yin and the others did not hesitate at all, and immediately flew away and jumped onto the stone monument, and then bombarded the dome of the stone hall with heavy fists, trying to break through the roof and escape.

Boom –

Night Terror Hall naturally didn't stop this, and quietly waved his hand, letting Hua Qingzhi, who was carefully looking at her father, back a little, and raised her eyes to look at the old eunuch who came over:

"Ziliang's father-in-law is brave, but it's a pity that I live in two dynasties, and as long as I make a move, I can't show mercy. If you abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, I can leave you a way to live, if not, I can only leave you with a corpse. ”

Ziliang's father-in-law walked into the entrance of the tunnel with his hands in his sleeves, with a flat expression:

"The two countries are conquering, each is its master, our family has dedicated a lifetime to the saint, and it is a great blessing to be able to sacrifice his life for the country when he is old. If the night prince can take away our family's old life, just come over. ”

Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall didn't say much, and when the bombardment sound in the hall sounded again, his feet moved!

Boom –

A cross wind suddenly blows in the narrow aisle.

The night terror, which was originally immovable, appeared under the firelight without any warning, and with a line of sword in his left hand, he pressed to the front of Ziliang's father-in-law.

Ziliang's father-in-law walked into the tunnel, in fact, he was ready to catch a move, but when the Night Terror Hall rushed over, he found that he could barely keep up with the Night Terror Hall's movements.

Since he can keep up with the movements, his strength is not beyond his limit.

Seeing this, Ziliang's father-in-law reacted very quickly, his caged sleeves and hands were suddenly withdrawn, and his right hand pulled out several golden wires, like a golden whip dancing in the dragon, wrapped around the saber that was about to arrive in the blink of an eye, and his left hand blasted out with a palm at the same time.

Woo Woo ~ Boom –

In the vigorous explosion, cracks appeared on both sides of the aisle

Night Terror Hall hedged with one palm, and used Zhong Sun Jin's mastery to resolve the strong palm, but halfway through the robe, the fabric on his back suddenly tore.

Tear pull~

There was also a muffled snort between the chest and abdomen of the Night Terror Hall, and the strength could not be completely removed, and the whole person was immediately shocked back.

?!

Ziliang's father-in-law was stunned for a moment, just one fight, and he saw that the background of the night terror hall and the reaction were flawless, but there seemed to be flaws in the body, which caused the palm technique to go wrong, and failed to completely dissolve the qi.

It is impossible for such a low-level mistake to be able to hit the Martial Saint, and there will be no dark disease in the body of the Ming Dragon Diagram, and this situation can only show one problem - the Night Terror Hall deduced the Ming Dragon Diagram on its own, and there was indeed a flaw in the body!

Thinking of this, Ziliang's father-in-law was immediately ecstatic, and he didn't give the Night Terror Hall the slightest anti-phone opportunity, pressed up like an appendage bone, and continuously pointed his twelve fingers to the acupoints in the chest and abdomen of the Night Terror Hall, wanting to kill this henchman.

Bang bang bang......

Although the Night Terror Hall blocked with both hands and parried with ease, but 'with a dark disease', the playing style was obviously conservative, and the step by step retreat that was pressed in the aisle, frightened Hua Qingzhi's face turned pale, and she hurriedly supported the wall and retreated.

Knock knock knock......

The sound of fists in the aisle reaching flesh made everyone in the hall almost palpitate.

Faced with this only remaining chance to escape, Gonggong Yin and the others had already squeezed all their potential, almost frantically bombarding the dome above.

Boom –

Boom –

After everyone bombarded more than ten times in a row, the dome that had cracked was no longer able to support, and as Hua Junchen blasted out with all his palm, the stone wall immediately cracked, and a three-foot square hole appeared, and countless gravel and yellow sand were pressed down.

"Let's go!"

Hua Junchen grabbed Li Si and burst into a shout, followed by a heavy punch in his right hand.

Boom –

The sand flow that poured down was dispersed by the strong and arrogant energy, and then blasted open the sand behind the dome, and Hua Junchen immediately flew out.

When Gonggong Yin and the others saw the way out, their eyes were full of ecstasy, and they quickly rushed to the surface after them.

Sassy –

And at the same time, deep in the aisle.

Ziliang's father-in-law went all out, and the night terror hall retreated step by step, but he couldn't break the night terror hall anymore, and he knew in his heart that even if the night terror hall had a dark disease, he couldn't kill it at his level.

For this reason, after discovering that the rear life path was opened, Ziliang's father-in-law immediately made a decision, slammed his palm into the chest and abdomen of the Night Terror Hall, and at the same time made a gesture of retreating with strength.

But......

Boom –

In the explosion, a powerful palm slammed directly on the right hand of the Night Terror Hall!

And the original sense of blow to the flesh, at this time, there is no access to replace the unshakable tenacity, as if it was careless, directly photographed on the root of the ten thousand dangerous peaks!

The mountains are unshakable, and the almost vast energy is all fed back to itself.

Under the palm of Ziliang's father-in-law, the sleeve robe of his right arm was shattered instantly, and the muscles of his arm bulged until it was transmitted to his shoulder, making a clicking sound, obviously because he was too strong and had nowhere to release his strength, which directly injured his muscles and bones.

?!

Ziliang's father-in-law's eyes changed suddenly, and his heart suddenly felt terrified.

But before he could stop his hand, he found the black-clothed Yama who was close at hand, and directly raised his left hand and slapped it.

Ziliang's father-in-law had practiced the Mingshen Diagram palm, and he could still see the trajectory completely, but the explosion speed obviously exceeded the limit of his body.

I wanted to raise my hand to intercept it, but I found that my arm movements were useless compared to the other party's speed.

Smack-

Father-in-law Ziliang just had a slight change in his eyes, and the powerful slap fell directly on his temple.

The terrifying power that was difficult for mortals to resist came, and the facial muscles of Father-in-law Ziliang were immediately twisted, his eyes were instantly bloodshot, and his body was instantly pulled to the side by his head, hitting the wall of the aisle.

Boom –

In the sound of bricks and stones cracking, a half-human deep hole appeared in the wall, and half of Ziliang's father-in-law pierced into it, and suddenly there was no movement.

And the aisle, which was originally roaring, also returned to quiet after a slap.

Hua Qingzhi stood not far behind, originally watching with fear, but found that the enemy, who was extremely vicious just now, was suddenly slapped into the wall with a slap, and was obviously stunned.

Night Terror Hall withdrew his hand, and originally wanted to complain a few words, but for the sake of the deceased, he still didn't speak, pulled out the saber inserted in the wall, turned around and said:

"Let's go."

Hua Qingzhi looked at the half of the people inserted in the wall, and her lips moved:

"Hit ...... Finished fighting? ”

"Hmm."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hua Qingzhi was obviously a little incomprehensible, hugged Night Terror's arm, and cautiously walked out against the wall, walking, and looking back......

β€”β€”

At the same time, at the surface.

The bleak moonlight sprinkled between the sea of sand, and the two black yamen with hoes and long poles stood far away near the violently shaking sand, their eyes were a little frightened, and they shouted loudly into the distance:

"There's something underground! Come on......"

As the movement spread, the black yamen who were exploring the surrounding area, as well as Sanniang and others who were resting in the camp of Crescent Bay, all picked up their blades and galloped over, and before they could run a few steps, they found that the yellow sand on the ground suddenly exploded, like a yellow fountain rising into the sky.

Boom –

And several figures also rushed out of the ground after him, and found that there were people around him who were killed, where did they dare to stop for a while, and galloped away at full speed into the depths of the desert.

Dongfang Liren ran with Sanniang, and when he saw this scene, he thought that he had dug up a caveman, but after looking carefully, he found that there was Cao Aning, the apprentice of Cao Gonggong, in the crowd.

Cao Aning and Xu Tianying are the dark piles of the Great Wei, and the commander-in-chief of Dongfang Liren, the black commander, naturally knows, although he doesn't understand why these people are buried in the ground, he still quickly grabbed and prepared to intercept Lu Sanniang, and at the same time shouted with a fake appearance:

"It's the thief of Beiliang, chase after this king!"

And more than ten people who rushed out desperately found that there were more than 30 people outside, and under the oppressive force that the Night Yama King would kill at any time, where did they dare to turn back and fight, almost risking their lives to run.

Hua Junchen was a little afraid of being accidentally injured by the masters of the Southern Dynasty, so at this time, together with Xu Tianying, he ran to the front with Li Si and shouted:

"Protect Lord Li!"

Li Si was carried away by Hua Junchen, and he was already moved in his heart to recognize Mr. Hua as his father-in-law, and shouted vigorously when he ran wildly:

"Don't fight, get out of here!"

Because the average level of this group of Beiliang masters far exceeds that of the black ya, She Long led people to chase after him, but he really couldn't catch up.

And Pei Xiangjun also saw that this group of people was a bit powerful, and he didn't dare to get too close, so after running near the pothole, he stopped and looked down with Ning Er.

Dongfang Liren came to him, and when he looked down, he could see that there was a stone hall deep underground, and there were torches in it, illuminating a black stone tablet directly below.

And the Night Terror Hall was like no one, standing in front of the stone tablet and looking down, Hua Qingzhi didn't know when, she also ran to the Night Terror Hall with her on her back, and was holding the Night Terror Hall's arm to study it carefully.

β€œοΌŸβ€

Dongfang was stunned when he saw this scene, and shouted:

"Night Terrors?"

In the underground stone hall, Night Terror Hall was studying a few lines of handwriting on the base of the stone tablet, and when he heard the voice, he raised his eyes to look at several daughters-in-law who were probing from the hole above:

"Father-in-law Ziliang has solved it, and the rest are miscellaneous fish, just chase them and let She Long come back. The stele has been found, but unfortunately it has been destroyed. ”

"Really?"

When the people of the East saw this, they jumped down from the entrance of the cave and landed steadily in front of the stone tablet; Sanniang and Ning'er also followed closely behind, carefully studying the stone stele.

After checking for a while, I wanted to explain to Ben Ben the doorway of 'different paths to the same end', but before he could prepare his words, the roots of his ears moved slightly, and he raised his eyes to look up.

Pei Xiangjun frowned when he saw the Night Terror, and asked:

"Is there a situation?"

"It seems that there are still masters."

Hearing that the movement was wrong, the Night Terror Hall immediately flew out of the hole above and chased in the direction where Uncle Hua and the others had fled......
