Liu Yong and Zhu Sanjia walked out of the temple, and in front of them was a dark and bottomless abyss. However, everyone knows that there is a stone beam between the edge of the steps outside the temple gate and the stone arch bridge, on which there is silver dust sprinkled from the Situ Bridge, which, as long as it is illuminated with a torch, will shimmer and reveal a passageway. It was Liu Yong who walked to the bottom stone step with a torch, raised the torch with his memory, and shone into the abyss.

It's just that although Liu Yong shone the torch into the abyss, there was no silver powder in front of him.

Liu Yong's heart sank, and he immediately knew what was going on.

Deng Yao and Lin Yilang, who left first, did not let everyone go. They quietly withdrew from the Temple of Meditation, and as they passed the stone beams on the bottomless abyss, they swept the silver dust from the stone beams into the abyss as they retreated. In this way, if everyone wants to walk on the stone arch bridge, they can't see where the stone beams are, so they can only move forward in the dark. On this bottomless abyss, although there is only a distance of five or six zhang from the temple gate to the stone arch bridge, you can only cautiously try to move forward, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

Liu Yong told everyone about the situation. Everyone was furious, and they scolded Deng Yao and Lin Yilang for their evil intentions, and they did not have the demeanor of the martial arts faction. Li Qiufeng thought in his heart: "This is a little strange. Did Deng Yao and Lin Yilang know that we couldn't find a way out after the main hall, so they fled first? Not to mention that although the two of them were despicable, they were after all the leaders of the beggar gang and the head of the Songshan faction, and this move openly made enemies with the Huashan faction, the Kunlun faction, the Qingcheng faction, and the Taihua faction. Unless the two of them have calculated that Liu Yong, Chu Danyang, Xu Chenghe, and Qingfeng Daoren, the four masters, will not be able to leave Jingxin Temple alive, they will never do such a thing that leaves no way back. ”

He was thinking about it, but he heard Zhu Sanjia say: "Although the two dog thieves are insidious, it is useless to do this. We only need to ask Situ Qiao for silver powder, and we can naturally make the stone beam appear again. ”

Zhu Sanjia's voice fell, and Qingfeng Daoist shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhu may not know that the silver powder in Situ Qiao's hand has been used up. Before we entered the Pure Heart Temple, under the stone arch bridge opposite us, Poor Dao saw that there was not much silver powder in his hand. When he came to the temple gate, he had little silver powder left......"

Murong Danyan didn't wait for Qingfeng Daoist to finish speaking, so he preemptively said: "There is not much left, that is, how much is still there, I went to ask him for it, and tried to see if it could be useful." ”

After Murong Danyan finished speaking, he turned around and ran back to the temple. Li Qiufeng was afraid that it would be dangerous for her to go to Situ Qiao alone, so he followed in. When the two arrived in the courtyard, they saw Situ Qiao still pacing around the hall from a long distance. When the two arrived at the gate of the hall, Situ Qiao glanced at the two of them coldly and said, "I have already said that if you leave yours, I will never leave." ”

Murong Danyan sneered and said, "We don't want you to leave either." Give us your silver powder. ”

Situ Qiao was stunned and said, "Don't you still give up, and you still want to find a passage on the abyss?"

Murong Danyan said hatefully: "What to find a passage." The silver powder on the stone beam we passed by when we came has been confiscated by the two dog thieves, Deng Yao and Lin Yilang. If we want to return the way we came, we will have to find the stone beam again with silver powder......"

Situ Qiao's face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "How can this be? I expected that these two bastards were determined to kill me, and I didn't expect them to even let you go!"

Murong Danyan said: "What are we yours?! It is serious to take out the silver powder as soon as possible. You can rest assured that unlike the two dog thieves, we will not sweep the silver dust off when we find the stone beam and leave, and you can retreat along the stone beam to the cave below the mountain when you leave. ”

Situ Qiao spread his hands and said with a depressed face: "The silver powder has run out, and it is useless for you to look for me." ”

Murong Danyan's face changed, and he said, "Is there nothing left?"

Situ Qiao said: "No." There is silence and no wind in the belly of this mountain, and after we have walked through it, if someone does not deliberately destroy it, the silver powder will not fly away. Before I arrived at this meditation temple, when I sprinkled the silver powder, I didn't think much about it, and I used up all the silver powder. ”

When he said this, he complained that everyone didn't pay attention to Deng Yao and Lin Yilang's sudden evil intentions. Murong Danyan was annoyed in his heart, and shouted: "What's the use of you talking about this now?" After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, it seems that we can only walk back step by step from the stone beam in the dark." ”

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "The stone beam hangs above the bottomless abyss, if you can't see your feet clearly, it is indeed extremely dangerous to walk on the stone beam." It's just that judging from everyone's martial arts, although there is no silver powder to guide the way, as long as you are careful, it is not difficult to pass through the stone beam. Deng Yao and Lin Yilang swept away the silver powder, not in the delusional hope that everyone would fall into the abyss from the stone beam, but in order to delay the speed of everyone's return, so that they could join the group first. At that time, the two of them played right and wrong, and joined forces to pick the four factions of Huashan, Kunlun, Qingcheng, and Taihua in one fell swoop, and even killed themselves, Murong Danyan, and Zhu Sanjia. At that time, the beggar gang and the Songshan faction could dominate the rivers and lakes and become the two major gangs on a par with Shaolin and Wudang. ”

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was also anxious, and he didn't want to waste any more time in the Jingxin Temple, so he said to Murong Danyan: "Let's leave this place as soon as possible, if we are preempted by the two dog thieves Deng Yao and Lin Yilang, I am afraid that the situation will be very bad." ”

The two were about to leave the courtyard, and Situ Qiao hurriedly said, "I'll leave with you, maybe we can take care of each other." ”

Murong Danyan sneered and said, "Don't you want to find any more clues on these two corpses?"

Situ Qiao said: "Since I know that Yao Guangxiao is such an end, my wish has been fulfilled." What's more, there is nothing on this person's body, just a dry bone. Although I am bent on finding the formation diagram of the Great Star Array, I still want my life. If I don't leave with you at this time, I will be left alone, and I will have no silver powder to guide the way, I am afraid that I will really have to stay with Yao Guangxiao. ”

Situ Qiao walked out of the temple gate with a torch as he spoke. Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan turned around and walked towards the temple gate, but the two of them turned their backs to Situ Qiao, and they didn't see a trace of an extremely weird smile suddenly appear on his face.

The three of them hurried out of the temple gate. Li Qiufeng said that Situ Qiao's silver powder had been exhausted, although everyone had already heard what Qingfeng Dao people had said, but there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts. At this time, hope is disappointed, and everyone is depressed.

Situ Qiao said: "You are all martial arts masters, and you are so frustrated when you encounter such a small thing, but you are not worthy of your identity." I still remember where the stone beams were, so we just need to be careful, and there won't be any risks......"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Danyang frowned and said, "It's just that in this way, we won't be able to catch up with Deng Yao and Lin Yilang." These two dog thieves swept the silver powder clean, just to drag us down, so that they could drive back first. When the time comes, the two of them will fan the flames and tell the truth, and we will stay in the cave below, and we are afraid that we will be unlucky. ”

Liu Yong and the others had already figured out the joints here, and they were also worried at this time. Situ Qiao said: "Let's hurry up, maybe there is hope." Although most of the mechanisms along the way have been cracked by me, there are only a few remaining mechanisms that are enough for these two bastards to drink a pot if they are triggered. I see that although the martial arts of the stinky Hanako and that hypocrite are good, they don't understand the art of organ information. The two of them ran back triumphantly, maybe they would touch the mechanism. At that time, even if the two of them are lucky enough to pick up a life, the speed of walking will be greatly reduced. As long as we pass two stone beams, it will be a smooth road, but it is not difficult to catch up with these two bastards. ”

When everyone heard what Situ Qiao said, they immediately cheered up again. After the discussion, Situ Qiao still led the way, and everyone followed. Situ Qiao held a torch in his left hand, and found the junction of the stone steps and the stone beam with his memory. He took a deep breath and tentatively stepped out with his right foot, until he confirmed that he had stepped on the stone beam, then he breathed a sigh of relief, paused for a moment, and then took the second step.

One by one, the people walked up to the stone beams, and although they all held torches in their hands, it was still pitch black under their feet, and everyone walked with great care. However, in this way, the speed of walking is extremely slow, and it takes half a pillar of incense to walk more than three zhang.

At this time, the Situ Bridge has passed the middle point of the stone beam, and it is only more than two zhang away from the stone arch bridge. And Li Qiufeng, who was walking at the rear, had just stepped on the stone beam, and he had taken two or three steps.

The crowd lined up and walked slowly on the stone beams.

At this moment, two loud noises suddenly came from the stone arch bridge opposite the stone beam. Immediately after two "whoosh" sounds, two cold lights have shot from the top of the stone arch bridge to the stone beam.

This incident happened suddenly, and everyone's hearts were in shock. Those two points of cold light shone directly towards Situ Bridge, which was walking in the forefront. He let out an "oops" and hurriedly leaned down. Two points of cold light flew over his head and attacked Liu Yong who was following him.

By the light of the torch in his hand, Liu Yong could already see that two short arrows were flying. He recognized the short arrow shot by the mechanism on the railing of the bridge that everyone had seen in front of the stone arch bridge earlier, and his heart sank, knowing that there was an enemy hidden on the stone arch bridge, he picked up the short arrow that fell on the ground as a hidden weapon to sneak attack his group. Between the lightning and flint, although he could also avoid these two short arrows like Situ Qiao. It's just that in this way, Chu Danyang, who was following him, was defenseless, and he was afraid that he would be injured under the short arrow. At this time, Liu Yong was no longer allowed to think about it, only to see him draw his sword with his backhand, and with two "ding" sounds, the two short arrows had been knocked away by him with his long sword and fell into the bottomless abyss.

Liu Yong had just knocked off the short arrow, only to hear a few loud sounds, but four short arrows flew over at the same time.

Situ Qiao cursed in his mouth, did not dare to stand up, and half-squatted on the stone beam. The four short arrows flew over his head and struck at Liu Yong. Liu Yong swung his long sword and knocked the four short arrows away. It's just that he had just shot down the short arrow, and then four more short arrows flew over.

Liu Yong knew that the enemy was hiding at the top of the stone arch bridge, and by the light of everyone's torches, he could see everyone's position clearly. While wielding his long sword to shield the short arrow, he shouted, "Quickly extinguish the torches, so that they may not be exposed and taken advantage of by the enemy." ”

Situ Qiao had already fallen on the stone beam at this time, and when he heard Liu Yong's shouting, he turned the torch upside down in a hurry and crashed into the flames. I heard the sound of "snorting" incessantly, and then I had a sharp pain in the top of my head, and I smelled a burnt smell in my nose, thinking that my hair had been ignited by a torch. He rubbed his head against the stone beam a few times before extinguishing the flames in his hair. Although it was very embarrassing, the torch was finally extinguished.
