Chapter 523
Fan Tong and Liao Xuan naturally knew that person's plan, but they were afraid that his silver needle was powerful, and they didn't dare to get too close. There were only five oil lamps left in the stone room, and it was extremely dim. The two of them were even more cautious in their hearts, for fear that the person would take the opportunity to launch the silver needle, and in such an obscure place, it was extremely difficult to avoid the tiny silver needle.
Seeing that Fan Tong and Liao Xuan didn't dare to approach, the man jumped towards the Yongdaokou as soon as his body was vertical. Fan Tong had already guarded him against this, and when he saw that his body was moving, his left foot hooked on the ground, and he had already picked up the steel knife next to a catcher lying on the ground, and then kicked out with his right foot. Hearing only the sound of "whew", the steel knife was strong and shot straight towards the man. The man had just risen, and when he heard the strong wind behind him, he knew that someone was sneaking up, and with a wave of the short knife in his right hand, there was a loud sound of "dang", and the steel knife had been knocked out. But in this way, his body froze, and he fell straight to the ground.
Fan Tong and Liao Jian saw the man fall from the sky, and immediately brandished their long swords and steel knives, and rushed straight at him.
The man's body was in mid-air, he already knew that the situation was not good, his body had not yet landed, and with a wave of his left hand, several silver needles flew out, hitting Fan Tong and Liao Xuan. Fan and Liao were so shocked that they didn't dare to block with their swords, and they each dodged left and right. At this moment, the man had fallen to the ground, and his left hand flicked again, this time with a silver needle to the five oil lamps hanging from the stone wall. Only then did Fan and Liao know that the target of this man's attack was not himself, but to extinguish all the oil lamps, so that the stone chamber would become pitch black, and he could act cheaply. It's just that the two of them have been forced to retreat to the left and right sides by the man with the silver needle at this time, and it is too late to knock the silver needle away. Only a few "poofs" were heard, and all five oil lamps were extinguished, and the stone room instantly became pitch black.
Everyone's hearts were in a daze, and at this time, the darkness suddenly came, and everyone's hearts were terrified, how could they care about pursuing the enemy? One by one, they held their breath and put their blades horizontally in front of them to prevent the enemy from sneaking up. Although everyone has a fire fold on their body, if they shake the fire fold at this time, they are afraid that they will immediately become the target of the enemy's attack, and no one dares to take out the fire fold, so they can only wait for the opportunity in the dark.
In the silence, a loud "bang" was heard, which shook the stone walls and ceilings around the stone chamber. Li Qiufeng heard this loud noise coming from behind him, and thought that behind him was the stone platform where Guan Yu's coffin was placed, and his heart sank, and he secretly screamed that it was not good. He saw the opportunity very quickly, and as soon as the sound fell, his body was already upright, and he threw himself straight towards the stone platform.
Before the strong autumn wind rose, he had calculated the location of the Situ Bridge. It's just that when he pounced on him, he only felt a strong wind pass in front of him. He pushed out his right palm, only to hear the sound of "whew", but this palm hit an air. In the flash of light, he only felt as if there was a huge object in front of him. Li Qiufeng didn't dare to be reckless, he flipped his head in mid-air, and rose two feet upward, feeling that he had reached the top of the huge thing, and then he fell gently. I only heard a soft "pop", and my feet were already standing on the huge thing.
At this time, he had judged that he should fall on the coffin, so he slowly squatted down, and with a light touch of his right hand, the tentacles were smooth and flat, and there was no doubt that it was a coffin. He had no doubts in his heart, and took out the fire fold from his bosom and shook it gently. But I heard an exclamation of "oh" not far away, and then someone exclaimed: "Lord Baihu, be careful of the thief's plot!"
The fire fold could be lit, and with a wave of Li Qiufeng's right hand, the fire fold flew flat towards the roof of the stone chamber, and immediately lit up the surroundings. I saw Fan Tong and Liao Xuan standing in the center of the stone room, each holding a sword, and their faces were full of surprise. And the man in black and Situ Qiao were gone.
Li Qiufeng flew up, grabbed the fire fold in his hand, and then his body was like electricity, and he quickly turned around in the stone room along the stone wall, and easily lit all the oil lamps hanging on the stone wall, and the light reappeared in the stone room.
Fan Tong and Liao Outline saw that Li Qiufeng showed this kung fu, and their faces changed greatly, only then did they know that although this brocade guard was young, he had been named a hundred households, and he really had an amazing art industry, and it was definitely not a fluke. When they found that the man in black and Situ Qiao were gone, both of them were in their hearts, secretly thinking that the suspect had escaped, and this matter would not be easy to do. But after thinking about it, fortunately, this brocade guard was also at the scene, and with him on top, even if the boss blamed him, it would be easier to say more.
Liao Xuan said in a trembling voice: "Two adults, this, what can I do here?"
Fan Tong didn't speak, but looked at Li Qiufeng, hoping that he could get an idea. Li Qiufeng said: "These two people's light skills are extremely good, I think they took advantage of the darkness just now, and they have escaped from the corridor. We just want to chase, but we may not be able to catch up. ”
When he said this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "This official wants to see what they are looking for when they enter this Guan Emperor's mausoleum." ”
After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the stone platform. But I saw that the lid of the huge coffin had been pushed open. Thinking that it was when Fan Tong and Liao Xuan besieged the man in black, Li Qiufeng turned his back to the stone platform again, and Situ Qiao took the opportunity to quietly open the lid of the coffin. After the man in black used a silver needle to extinguish all the oil lamps, Situ Qiao made a desperate gamble, pried open the lid of the coffin, took what he was going to take, and then put down the lid of the coffin casually, which made a loud noise.
Fan Tong and Liao Jian saw that the lid of the coffin had been lifted, and their faces changed greatly. Fan Tong paused and said: "I can't imagine that this thief is so bold that he even dares to offend Emperor Guan's coffin." Liao Xuan said in a trembling voice: "There is such a big thing, I am afraid that the governor of Henan will not be able to suppress this case, so he can only report to the criminal department." Let's, let's ...... What are we going to do?"
Li Qiufeng said: "Don't worry about the two head catchers, that person can't escape." This person is sneaky in Luoyang, and the official has long suspected that he has other plans. He stole Guan Yu's mausoleum, which could only aggravate his sins, and had nothing to do with the two head hunters. But let's see what this person is looking for when he travels thousands of miles south. ”
After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, his body jumped vertically, and he jumped onto the stone platform again. Fan Tong and Liao Outline heard Li Qiufeng say this, their hearts were a little relieved, and when they saw that Li Qiufeng was going to check Guan Yu's coffin, they also jumped onto the stone platform.
The huge coffin was horizontal in front of the three people, looking mysterious and majestic. Guan Yu is famous in China, known as the first military general in the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, but the ending is tragic and has always been suffocating. Since the Song Dynasty, the people have been worshipping Guan Yu. Later, even the court paid tribute to Guan Yu. The emperor of the Song Dynasty pardoned Guan Yu as a god, and when Meng Yuan was in power, although Lamaism was the state religion, he also respected Guan Yu very much, and listed him as a god of Buddhism from the god of Taoism. After Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, established the Ming Dynasty, he even wantonly sealed Guan Yu, who was a Han general, and Guan Yu became a saint from a god, and he was as famous as Confucius. Fan Tong and Liao Outline have lived in Luoyang for a long time, and they have always respected Guan Yu. At this time, looking at the huge coffin in front of him, thinking of Guan Yu's various legends, he couldn't help but tremble, and almost wanted to kneel on the ground.
Since Li Qiufeng lost the embroidered spring knife, he is not as brave and fearless as before. At this time, in front of him was the remains of Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, whom he had been in awe of since he was a child, making him not as careless as before. He stood for a long time, then took two steps forward, remembered something again, turned his head to Fan Tong and Liao Xuan, and said, "Fan Zhutou, this matter is very important, and it is not something that this official can deal with alone. The two of you might as well come over and have a detailed look with the official, but you can testify to each other, so as not to cause trouble. ”
Fan Tong and Liao Xuan hurriedly took a few steps forward and stood beside Li Qiufeng. Li Qiufeng's body was vertical, and he was already standing on top of the coffin. Fan Tong and Liao Jian also jumped onto the coffin, only to find that the lid of the coffin had been pushed aside by Situ Qiao, and most of the coffin was exposed. The three of them smelled a faint aroma, mixed with a hint of lime.
Li Qiufeng shook the fire fold, slowly squatted down, and shone into the coffin with the fire fold.
Under the light of the fire, I saw a headless body lying in the coffin. This man was dressed in gold armor and a purple robe, and lay on a brocade quilt. On both sides of the body are jade objects such as jade gui and ruyi, which emit a faint glow under the light of the fire fold. But there was still a golden helmet at the skull, which was made of pure gold. The red tassels on the top of the helmet are as red as blood, and against the backdrop of many jades, there is another terrifying power.
There is a saying in folklore, called "head resting in Luoyang, lying in the sun", which means that after Sun Quan killed Guan Yu, he put Guan Yu's head in a brocade box and sent someone to Luoyang. Its purpose was to blame Cao Cao for Guan Yu's death, so that Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others would believe that the Eastern Wu sneak attack on Guan Yu was instructed by Cao Cao. In this way, Liu Bei will raise troops to seek revenge on Cao Cao, so as not to endanger Eastern Wu. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao "knew his plan, but carved the body of the feather with fragrant wood", and buried Guan Yu's head in Luoyang with the courtesy of the princes. However, Guan Yu's body was buried in Dangyang, Hubei by Dongwu, because the people have such a sentence. Everyone in the world knows that Guan Yu's head is buried in the mound of Emperor Guan's Shengjun Temple, but at this time, there is only Guan Yu's body carved from agarwood in the coffin, but the head has disappeared.
Li Qiufeng and the other three were shocked and couldn't help but look at each other. Li Qiufeng originally thought that Situ Qiao had infiltrated Guan Tsukasa just to find treasures. But seeing that the jade objects in the coffin, such as jade gui and ruyi, were all priceless treasures, no one seemed to have touched them, but Guan Yu's head was gone. He was shocked in his heart, and he really couldn't guess why Situ Qiao didn't take the treasure, but wanted to steal Guan Yu's head. It must be known that although Guan Yu was defeated and died, for thousands of years, he has been admired by the world, and no one in his mausoleum has ever dared to offend. I think that Luoyang has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and even the city has been demolished many times, and it is An Lushan, Shi Siming, Wen Tao, Huang Chao, Zhu Wen and other notorious murderers in the world, and even the Hu people, Khitan, Jurchen, Mengyuan and other alien races in the Central Plains, but they also have great respect for Guan Yu, and have always protected Guan Yu's mausoleum, and have never destroyed Guan Yu's mausoleum brick by brick. And the heroes of the rivers and lakes, the heroes of the green forest, admire Guan Yu's loyalty, righteousness and bravery, and regard him as a celestial. Situ Qiao stole Guan Yu's head, that was a taboo in the rivers and lakes, not only the government couldn't let him go, but even the heroes in the rivers and lakes would also regard him as an enemy, just afraid that he would hide to the ends of the earth, and it would be difficult to escape the pursuit of martial arts masters.
Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Situ Qiao stole Guan Yu's head, definitely not to make a fortune. Most likely related to the formation diagram he had been looking for in the cave under the Tiger Head Rock. This person persevered, bent on getting the formation map left by Zhuge Liang, but he was afraid that he had another plan. He must be arrested as soon as possible and forced to ask him to make this matter clear, otherwise he will succeed in his plot, and I am afraid that it will cause great disaster. ”
