Dianjiang City is located more than 500 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 search for Yitianhang delayed for half a day, Shangguan Law was quite worried about the safety of the Absolute Sword Gate.

When Qingcheng and his party rode 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 bowing their heads and grazing, and the saddle style was the horse of the Juedaomen.

The people in Qingcheng hurriedly dismounted to investigate, but found no trace of Liu Qingyuan and others.

Shangguan Lu said secretly: "There is no trace of fighting along the way, but there is no trace of this horse here, and sure enough, something happened!" ”

Shangguan Lu was apprehensive, and led the crowd to continue to search on the road ahead, and walked for about half a day, but there was already a shortage of people and horses, so it was convenient to find an open place on the side of the road, and rest 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, leaning on the trunk of a broken knife in his hand, looking at the clothes that were the disciples of the Absolute Sword Sect, but under closer inspection, it was Senior Brother Zhang Shang of the Absolute Sword Sect.

Liao Yuheng hurriedly beckoned everyone to save Zhang Shang, and Shangguan Lu also rushed over to check his injuries, but Zhang Shang was wounded in more than ten places, his face was pale and bloodless, and he was powerless to check his pulse again, and he was only hanging in one breath if he could 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 group of seven people continued to search along the road, and finally found the disgraced Ran Yunhan after a short walk, but there was no trace of Liu Qingyuan, nor did they meet the people of the Tang Sect, and they found a place to ambush and fight, although there were traces of fighting and blood stains all over the ground, but there was no corpse.

Shangguan Law saw that this matter was a foregone conclusion, so he had to turn back along the original road, go to the forest to search for the bodies of several disciples of the Absolute Sword Gate, and then went to Dianjiang City, and rested in the Dianjiang River for a day or two before escorting Ran Yunhan to refuse the Daomen.

The strange thing is that Ran Xingzhou, the master of the Absolute Sword Gate, did not declare war on the Tang Sect after learning the details, and the Tang Sect did not move for a while.

When the undercurrent between the Tang Gate and the Absolute Sword Gate was surging and the killing machine 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 were 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, there is no adventure at the bottom of the valley, this has just climbed up from below, but the exit has been blocked." ”

This person is none other than the black-clothed young man Yi Tianhang who hit the Tang Sect a few days ago.

It was not an impulsive move to jump off the cliff that day, and when Zhao Wufeng played the nine-ring broadsword with great majesty, he went to investigate the entrance to the cave mentioned by Zhao Wufeng.

Outside this cave, there are indeed vines spreading and winding on the cliffs, as for the later jump, but they have already grabbed a vine in advance, jumped down and hung on the cliff, with the steep mountain, protruding rocks and thick fog to cover the figure, when the captain Li Jingkui stepped forward to check, he could not find anything at a glance.

It's a pity that Qin Zhanxiong regards wealth as his life, and sent heavy soldiers to guard the property in the cave overnight, and also hangs outside the cave, and he didn't dare to move lightly when he heard the noisy sound in the cave, and the vine he dragged was not strong, and it didn't last long before it broke, and 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 vine again, fortunately he found the mark made by Zhao Wufeng along the way, and when he was exhausted after climbing all day, 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 hole, but found that the hole had already been filled by the Jiangzhou garrison, 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 parchment rolls, and lived on the stored wild fruits and fish, and when he saw that the ration was about to bottom, he had to go down to the bottom of the valley again, at least he would not starve to death there.

Yi Tianhang was about to leave when he heard a loud noise, and he felt that the mountains were shaking, and he secretly said in his heart: "This tomb robber is really bold, he dares to use gunpowder to open the tomb under the nose of the Jiangzhou army." ”

When I turn my head and think about it, isn't this the time to see the light of day again? My heart was immediately full of gratitude to this group of tomb robbers, and I hurriedly packed up, and hid in the passage between the two stone rooms, just waiting to avoid the thieves and quietly go.

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 and others here? Nominally, it is to collect the corpses of the seniors and brothers in the funeral gate, but with the past actions of my Tang Sect, 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. ”

"Senior brother is still cautious, but brother did hear some gossip, it is said that the person who died in this battle is the closed disciple of Elder Keqing Qi, although the disciple is really a concubine, I am waiting for this trip is the master of the door at the request of Elder Qi, came to retrieve the body of that person."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Could it be that some senior brother was jealous of being Elder Qi's disciple and deliberately bad reputation? ”

"Alas, who knows, anyway, it was Elder Qi who led the matter. 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. ”

"Huh? Are the rumors true? ”

"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."

When the sound of this conversation became farther and farther away, Yi Tianhang came out of the aisle, cautiously rushed to the exit, and secretly said in his heart: "It's actually Tangmen, if they find out, and they don't know what trouble will happen, it's better to go out as soon as possible." ”

This person, bad luck often backfires.

The disciples of the Tang Sect collected their bodies in the tomb on the left road, and Yi Tianhang carefully arrived at the round arched stone chamber along the tomb road on the right road, as long as he passed through any of the three passages, he could go directly to the exit, but at this time, several people walked out of the tomb road in the middle, all dressed in dark red robes, and they were people from the Tang Sect.

The leader is an old man, with gray hair, shining eyes, although he is old, but very majestic, looking at the clothes and demeanor is by no means an ordinary person, both sides have seen each other, the leading old man was slightly stunned, and asked: "Who are you?" Why here? ”

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?" ”

"Oh? Although, there is no need to be polite with the old man. "This old man is none other than Tang Sect Elder Qi Rong.

This 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 murderer 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 survived, and he still lived in this tomb for so many days. Although the young disciple said that he was guessing, his tone was extremely positive.

Elder Qi squinted at Yi Tianhang, looked at it slightly, and said coldly: "Not bad, take it!" ”

Under this order, the four Tang Sect disciples behind the young disciple attacked almost simultaneously.

Yi Tianhang would not 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 danced to block several hidden weapons, and the entrance was already close at hand.

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." ”

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 hand was not idle, and several hidden weapons hit Yi Tianhang's way.

Yi Tianhang was running hard, and when he saw that there was a hidden weapon blocking the way, he hurriedly swung his sword to block, but he was finally blocked, and the four Tang Sect 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, and the young disciple did not join the battle, and only stood guard on the periphery after stopping Yi Tianhang.

Yi Tianhang secretly said: "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 discovered by the young disciple, and a few hidden weapons beat Yi Tianhang back.

Yi Tianhang couldn't help but glance at the young disciple a few more times, and said secretly in his heart: "There is such a handsome man in this world. ”

The plan was discovered, so he had to think of another way, and fought about ten moves, and Yitianhang changed his previous style of play and suddenly became difficult.

A sword pierced a person's chest, then turned and slashed 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 towards the young disciple.

Yi Tianhang was covered by this person's figure, and he was only three or four steps away from the young disciple.

The young disciple seemed to have guessed Yi Tianhang's thoughts, only flashed sideways, let the retreating Tang Sect disciple over, raised his hand and shot several hidden weapons in the direction of Yi Tianhang, but where was there still Yi Tianhang's figure, I 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, gave the disciple behind him a look, glanced at Elder Qi again, and then chased Yi Tianhang into the tomb.

Elder Qi didn't seem to have any interest in Yi Tianhang, glanced at the sarcophagus on the high platform, and strode over.

Yi Tianhang and the handsome young disciple entered the tomb one after another, and the remaining Tang Sect disciple hesitated for a moment, but followed Elder Qi into the secret passage under the sarcophagus, it seems that this Tang Sect is not monolithic, and his own elder even arranged for the disciples in the door to stare secretly.
