Chapter 63: Half a Blood Flower

Liu Tugou was still immersed in the afterglow of the sword slashing grandmaster.

To this day, he still clearly remembers that on the big snowfield of Tianshui County, Gongxi Xiaobai punched to the flesh and beat a roadblock grandmaster to death with brute force.

The Grandmaster was lying in the pit that had been trampled out by the two of them, his blood vessels shattered, and his blood was smeared all over his skin.

At that time, the second master was just a little shrimp who had just stepped into the Qi Realm, and although he was shocked by the efficiency of the two inspiration masters in digging pits, he didn't think that killing a grandmaster was a big deal.

It wasn't until he killed Xu Xun with his own hands tonight that he knew the danger and difficulty.

The confrontation between grandmasters has gradually departed from the level of being brave and ruthless, but it is even more cruel and desperate, and enlightenment is enlightenment, even if it is only a little bit, it is enough to distinguish between life and death.

If it weren't for the second master's inspiration that couldn't be speculated with common sense, or Xu Xun could be more cautious, I am afraid that the corpse that has become a corpse now will be slaughtered by Lanling dogs.

He shook his head vigorously, no longer thinking nonsense, Liu Tugou knew that he was so delirious because of his damaged mind. In normal times, he would never be so pessimistic and sentimental.

Xu Xun lay down, and the second master was still standing, willing to gamble and lose, that's all.

He jumped into the hole in the main hall on the first floor of the pavilion, and Zhang Yuan followed closely behind.

The two ends of the stone corridor were the same deep and dark, and the hundred cavalry commanders gritted their teeth and were about to order the division of troops, but they saw the second master sniffing with his nose, and then pointed in one direction and said, "Go this way, I can smell the blood smell on Shen Yue's body." ”

Zhang Yuan glanced at Liu Tugou with some surprise, and then waved his hand without hesitation, and immediately several soldiers held torches to explore the way first, and everyone followed.

I don't know what this underground corridor is for, and I didn't see a fork in the road along the way, and I didn't see any traps, which was really a bit strange.

Liu Tugou couldn't help but ask: "Shen Yue is just ahead, Nan Tianzhu has not been seen so far, Gao Ziyu and that Di people should have been in this passage before they made a move on Xu Xun, why does it seem that you and Xu Xun don't know about it?

Zhang Yuan glanced at Liu Tugou, did not want to answer his meaning, but raised his eyebrows, suddenly quickened his pace, rushed to the front of the team in a few steps, and ordered loudly while running: "This corridor is not dangerous, all brothers rush with me!"

In this deserted ghost park, it has suffered such heavy casualties, even the elite of the border army has been exhausted.

Zhang Kite's leading soldiers encouraged the last trace of courage of these surviving soldiers, and they ran behind their own hundred cavalry commanders, numbly rushing towards the unknown fate.

Liu Tugou also ran, he had to run, and more than a dozen cold and shining crossbow arrows behind him were locking his back at all times.

In such a narrow corridor, there is too little room for manoeuvre, and it is easy to be shot into a hedgehog.

He cursed in his heart, and the wind under his feet also rushed to the front of the team, these obedient soldiers could not even shoot their hundred cavalry commanders to death.

At this moment, Liu Tugou noticed that Zhang Yuan's palm holding the knife had been pierced by his own fingernails at some point, and blood was flowing down the long knife......

After running another pillar of incense, the eyes suddenly widened, and everyone entered a small oval hall.

In the middle of the small hall stands a tall black stone tablet without words, and the base is not the usual old turtle, but a colorful stone platform.

Liu Tugou walked closer, only to find that the stone platform was actually hollow, carved into the shape of a temple, staircase columns, all with doors and windows, all exquisite.

There are even two bronze willows planted in front of the stone steps of the temple, with slender and supple branches, which are ingenious.

The couplets on the pillars of the front porch of the hall are very familiar, and they are the two sentences on the shadow wall inside the door of the Lingying Marquis's Mansion:

How is the way of heaven, there are many haters. You have made up your mind, what shall I say?

The difference is that these words are vermilion, bright and intense, almost shining, and I don't know what kind of pigment they are written in.

There is no plaque in front of the Hou Mansion, but there is a piece hanging in front of the door of this small temple, on which are written five ancient seal characters that are extremely black - Lingying Shenjun Temple.

Zhang Yuan on the side sneered: "Pretending to be a ghost, I don't think this is like a treasure room, it's clearly a yin house!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of many soldiers turned pale, and they were obviously awakened by the words.

The Zhou people have always believed in ghosts and gods, otherwise the red-clothed priests of the Ceres Temple would not be empty.

At the beginning, there were many people, and it was a series of bloody battles, so naturally no one cared about it.

At this moment, when they went down to the ground and saw such a strange monument again, many people suddenly felt that their backs were not so comfortable.

Bursts of yin qi struck people, as if they were pinched by a pair of rough big hands, and the whole person tensed.

Liu Tugou squatted down and looked towards the shrine hall, what sat in the shrine was not the expected statue of gods and ghosts, but half of a red flower, the rich and dazzling red, blooming warmly in this strange underground monument, like spurting blood.

Liu Tugou couldn't help but let out an "ah", and instantly remembered the strange dream after being stunned by Ishihara. The blood flower that turned into a jade butterfly and rested on the petals, and was picked by the woman in white who couldn't see her face clearly, was exactly the same as the one in front of her, but she didn't smell the strong fragrance of flowers in the dream.

It's just that there is only half of this flower, and there are no branches, leaves, roots, and whiskers, but it is still in full bloom, and there is no sign of withering.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan also squatted down and looked into the shrine, and sneered, "What the hell?"

After that, he raised his knife and wanted to smash the flower, but Liu Tugou raised his hand to stop him: "This half of the blood flower is a little weird, it's better not to move around." ”

"What kind of blood flower, isn't it just half a red begonia flower, and if it is offered in such a ghost place with a deep yin qi, most of them have turned into goblins and ghosts, leaving it to harm people?"

Zhang Yuan said this, but the knife in his hand was put down.

This hundred horsemen is not a reckless man with vain strength, and he naturally understands in his heart that since the few masters who came in before did not touch this half of the demon flower, it is most likely that there is a great danger in it.

Although there are many disguises on weekdays, Zhang Yuan is not a short-tempered person, but Fang Cai suddenly rose a wave of anger from his heart, making him want to smash the monument in front of him.

The anger was real, and it all came from the emotions he had buried deep in his heart, from the grief of losing his siblings along the way, and from the shame of being forced to cooperate with the enemy.

was stopped by Liu Tugou, Zhang Yuan woke up in an instant, and his anger immediately disappeared, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Liu Tugou straightened up, looked at Zhang Yuan, and asked seriously, "Where do dead ghosts like to put their treasures?"

Zhang Yuan let out a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the corridor behind the stone tablet, and said with a cruel smile: "Of course, it is with his own corpse!"
