Chapter 16: The Crypt Exit

Duan Xiaotian slowly stood up and said to Li Xuan: "You know now, I brought you here just to kill you and take the sword?"

He looked up to the sky and laughed: "I once vowed to break Su Feiyan's body into pieces, but for eight years, God has never given me a chance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info ha...... I didn't expect you to appear in front of me with the Devil May Cry Sword, wouldn't this be a great opportunity for me to be given by God? Brother Li, I want to use this sword to lure her out and let her die under my sword. ”

At this point, Li Xuan had fully understood why Duan Xiaotian had rushed to decline Shen Wuxing's kindness on his behalf, it seemed that at that time, he had already planned to take himself to this desolate earthen temple where there were no fireworks and no traces, kill himself, and capture the Devil May Cry Sword. Thinking about this section, Li Xuan sneered: "In order to achieve the goal of revenge for Feiyan, you killed me regardless of our feelings back then, it is ruthless! If you can't kill Su Feiyan, but you die, you can't find the clue of the rich dart, and you live up to the trust that Old Madam Xu has placed in you, it is unjust." Duan Xiaotian, you are a dignified seven-foot man, living in this world with the sky upright, how can you do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing?"

After listening to Li Xuan's words, Duan Xiaotian seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and said loudly: "You are so naΓ―ve! Don't you know that if you are in the rivers and lakes, you will die if you are innocent?" Do you really think that just a half-old woman Xu can drive me to venture into the rivers and lakes?" Li Xuanqi said: "Isn't it? This is what you told me personally!" Duan Xiaotian looked at Li Xuan, and still laughed wildly: "Why did I take the risk to find the clues of the rich dart?" haha...... Do you know that the Weisheng Dart Bureau escorting the rich dart is a trap, and they swagger all the way through the street, just to attract the attention of the court and the high-rollers. After a pause, he suddenly laughed proudly: "Since you are almost dead, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you." Hey, hey, hey, I'm the one who really escorts the rich darts. ”

Li Xuan was taken aback, but if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he really couldn't believe that the Fugui Dart would be on Duan Xiaotian's body, he was stunned for a while, his mind turned, and he said contemptuously: "Are you really the one who escorted the Fugui Dart? How could it be you!haha...... Amusing...... Can...... It's ridiculous...... "At this time, he had little strength left, and laughing out loud made his breath even more intermittent.

Duan Xiaotian heard his contemptuous tone, and said angrily: "Why are you laughing? What is ridiculous?" Li Xuan didn't look at Duan Xiaotian, and said slowly: "I'm laughing at you for putting gold on your face! With your Yang family's marksmanship with a weak head and brain, who dares to entrust you with a rich dart?" Duan Xiaotian said angrily when he heard this: "You don't believe it? hehe...... It seems that if you don't explain it, you will die without turning a blind eye!"

Li Xuanzheng said: "If you can't confirm it before I die, I really won't be blind to death." Duan Xiaotian said: "Then why don't you hurry up and ask?" Li Xuan saw that he looked anxious, although he felt funny, but he knew that he must not show it, and coughed violently for a while, before he asked lightly: "Brother Duan, what is that rich dart...... Where? Is it on you?"

Duan Xiaotian heard him ask, hehe smiled, and said proudly: "Where is the rich dart?" said 'snort' and tore open the blue robe pants on his body, revealing his black hairy thighs, pointing to a six or seven inch long scar on the side of his femur, which had been densely stitched and raised, and said: "The rich dart is here! ”

Li Xuan took advantage of the moonlight to look over, and saw that under the faint moonlight, the scar on the side of Duan Xiaotian's femur seemed to have scabbed over not long ago, and the pink flesh scab was like a twisted and closed mouth, more like an eye full of despair and sadness that could not bear to leave his lover.

Duan Xiaotian was silent when he saw Li Xuan seeing the scar on his femur, knowing that he was stunned by his appearance, and laughed wildly: "You see, the rich dart is here, haha...... It's in my body, it's in my body......" He laughed wildly, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, and he hissed in the sky: "Back then, I took the pill given by Su Feiyan, and I was tortured by pain every year, and I wanted to die for a long time. But a few days ago, on a full moon night, I was about to go crazy because I was tortured by the poison pills in my body, but I happened to meet a son surnamed Hou. Hou Gongzi saw that I was in abnormal pain, so he sent someone to fetch a red pill, saying that this pill was the Huitian Pill prepared by Nangong Zhenshi, the lord of the Great Valley of the Medicine King Valley, and it could cure any strange poison in the world. I had never met him, and I was hesitant to think that I was already dying, even if he gave him poison......! Who knew that after I took that pill, I would no longer be tortured by the poison in my body that night. ”

Li Xuan sighed: "Then you can be regarded as meeting a nobleman!"

Duan Xiaotian nodded, and said: "I have no pain, I am grateful, and I have been thinking about how to repay Hou Gongzi's life-saving kindness." Li Xuan said: "Receiving the grace of dripping water, you should repay it as a spring." Brother Duan, you have a clear conscience!"

Duan Xiaotian knew that he was ridiculing himself for ignoring the relationship between the two when they met, secretly drugged, and tried to kill him. So, he snorted heavily, and said: "I can't bear the inexplicable favor of others, not to mention that this is a life-saving grace! Just when I was thinking hard about how to repay Hou Gongzi, one day, he sent someone to ask me to ask for help, saying that there was an important matter for me to help. When I heard this, I was naturally overjoyed. After meeting with Hou Gongzi, there was the matter of escorting the rich dart. ”

Li Xuan looked surprised. Duan Xiaotian sighed and said, "You must be wondering, why do I have to pretend to care about the rich dart in my carry, looking for the information of the rich dart and the old dart master Xu all the way, isn't it?" Li Xuan nodded and responded: "Exactly." Are you doing this to disturb people's ears and eyes?"

Duan Xiaotian nodded solemnly and said, "Exactly." In fact, the dart car of the VIA Dart Bureau is also a bait arranged by Hou Gongzi. According to Hou Gongzi, in order to send this rich dart out safely, he has sent three groups of people. But unfortunately, those three groups of people were discovered by the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and they were all killed. Fortunately, Hou Gongzi is thoughtful and knows that the rich dart is very involved, so the first three groups of people are all to explore the way. ”

The more Li Xuan listened, the more he felt that what Duan Xiaotian said was abnormal, and asked, "You have been talking for a long time, what is this rich dart? Who is this Hou Gongzi? What is he tossing and going like this for?"

Duan Xiaotian looked helpless and sighed: "You are really a young man in the rivers and lakes, you are so stupid to ask! What is the rich dart, how can people like us know! Moreover, every time Hou Gongzi meets me, he is covered with a black scarf, I don't know who he is and what he looks like. As for why he attaches so much importance to the rich dart, according to Hou Gongzi, the reason why the rich dart is rich is because it is related to the peace of the rivers and lakes and involves a big man. If this is to be successful, the bodyguard must have the determination of a strong man to break his wrist and die willingly. Hey...... My life was given by Hou Gongzi, and even if I died for it, I would just give it back to others! Come to think of it, I have suffered too much, and in my life, if I can do a great thing that shocks the world and fulfills my wishes, it will not be in vain. ”

When Li Xuan heard this, he shook his head and said, "What if the rich and noble dart he wants you to escort is something that is for the sake of harming the rivers and lakes?" Duan Xiaotian heard him deliberately say the words 'righteousness and bravery' sonorously and powerfully, smiled slightly, and said, "You are young and don't enter the rivers and lakes, so naturally you don't know that the rivers and lakes have long been unrecognizable, and they are far from the rivers and lakes in my heart. Li Xuan snorted coldly and said, "What are the rivers and lakes in your heart?"

Duan Xiaotian said loudly: "Be happy and revenge, rely on each other, and never give up in life and death!" After speaking, it seemed that if he harmed Li Xuan, wouldn't he have violated his words. He was silent for a moment, his voice was slightly apologetic, and he said in a low voice: "Good brother, don't blame my brother for wanting to kill you! If I get this Devil May Cry Sword in your hand and trap Su Feiyan, I will not only do great harm to myself, but also to the rivers and lakes." Alas...... At that time, I will go to your grave and apologize for my sins. ”

Li Xuan listened to his resoluteness, and said helplessly: "This sword was originally obtained by me unintentionally, you want to take it, even if you take it, why do you have to take my life?"

Duan Xiaotian said gloomily: "You have to die." As soon as you saw my whereabouts, you learned the secret of the rich dart. Second, the husband is not good at doing things in the world, and he is not toxic. If I don't kill you today, I can't guarantee that you won't settle accounts with me in the future. After finishing speaking, he pulled out the ox ear sharp knife on his waist with a 'whoosh', stood upside down with his eyebrows, and approached Li Xuan with murderous energy.

The wind outside the temple suddenly rose. The wind comes and goes, stops and rests, like a migratory bird to the south, when it is tired, it rests in the mountains and forests, and when it is full of energy, it flies in the sky. On this rainy night, migratory birds looking south for a warm nest curled up on the branches, carrying wet wings, waiting for dawn. However, the rainy night is not quiet because of the huddle of the migratory birds, and the insects that have drunk the rain will start to scream non-stop when the rain stops, and they may know that when the autumn frost falls, their fragile lives will come to an end. The best elegy is to give joy to the little time left. On this rainy autumn night, Duan Xiaotian's sadness seemed to be cathartic. He was carrying the knife, and when he heard the ancient tree in front of the temple suddenly go crazy, it was like a ghost crying uneasily, and it was like a demon girl's sad singing.

Seeing Duan Xiaotian approaching step by step, Li Xuan realized his extremely dangerous situation, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Although this person is full of kindness, he is actually a person full of extreme hatred. Hmph, he kept saying that he wanted to repay Hou Gongzi for saving his life, but he forgot his righteousness and forgot what Hou Gongzi had entrusted him with, and only had his own personal enmity in his heart, isn't it a greater sorrow!" He subconsciously tried to dodge, but the dantian was empty, and the only strength he had left was enough for him to struggle a few times.

Li Xuan let out a long sigh helplessly, closed his eyes, and leaned in a dark corner, quietly waiting for the moment when his heart was pierced.

While waiting, he did not complain or feel sad. He had already said everything Duan Xiaotian had said, if the mandate of heaven could not be violated, he would gladly accept it! But just as Duan Xiaotian was holding a short knife and pressing forward step by step, a rapid sound of horses' hooves galloped towards this earth temple from far and near, through the dark night. The sound of hooves is fast, the sound is in the ears, straight like popping beans hitting the drum surface, what a quick word!

Who can ride such a horse on a narrow and steep mountain road?

Duan Xiaotian heard the sound of hooves, his face changed, and he looked at Li Xuan, who was weak in the moonlight, the ox-eared sharp knife in his hand stopped in mid-air, and his high murderous intent began to contradict. Was the comer friend or foe? Why did he come at this time? He was so frightened that he did not dare to act rashly, but he looked around hurriedly, and then ran behind the idol to look, and found that there was only one person hiding there.

In the temple, only the huge offering in front of the statue of the god could accommodate two people.

It was about eight feet long, more than three feet wide, and nearly four feet high, and was obscured on three sides by a tattered curtain. It's really a good place to hide! Duan Xiaotian's heart moved, he stretched out his hand to cover Li Xuan's mouth, and rolled on the spot with him in his arms to the bottom of the confession.

Li Xuan almost lost all his strength at this moment, and he couldn't help himself, and was hugged by Duan Xiaotian and rolled under the confession, only to hear a 'click' in his ears, as if a spring switch was touched, making the sound of metals hitting each other. The two of them then fell into a square crypt.

Or because of its age, the crypt is full of dust nets and moth corpses. The two of them fell in, and heard another 'click' above their heads, the machine spring started, and the hole door closed.

The inside of the crypt was pitch black, but because the two of them had been in the dark for a long time before entering the crypt, they suddenly entered the crypt at this time, and although they were a little flustered, their eyesight was not affected.

Li Xuan and Duan Xiaotian looked at the crypt. The crypt is about five feet high, seven or eight feet square in length and width, and is made of finely polished granite walls, and the four walls are covered with dust nets, and some shriveled rat feces and moth corpses are washed by the rainwater poured into them. Who built it and when, and why was it abandoned? The crypt was rain-watered, damp, and mysterious. The two of them glanced at each other, frightened in their hearts, and thought: "Is it a blessing or a curse to fall here this time?"

The sound of horses' hooves was clearly audible, and the heartbeat of the two people also accelerated, and when they looked closely, they saw that there were two crossings in front of and behind the crypt, and the crossings were the same height as the crypt, but they were wide enough to allow only one person to pass through. There are steps at the entrance of a tunnel that extend into it, like a downward path. The other crossing is not only flat, but also shining. From a distance, the miserable white light is like a ghost fire, bright and uncertain.

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh: "How do you define good fortune and misfortune? People in the world often like to divide good fortune and misfortune by whether they are glorious or wealthy, and compare them with whether they are famous or not. But the world is confused! In fact, life and death are not absolutely related to things outside the body, just like himself, Shi Cai was about to be killed by Duan Xiaotian because of a famous Devil May Cry Sword, but who would have thought that he would fall here by mistake. Is it a blessing or a curse? If a person is alive, it is the greatest blessing to be alive. ”

Duan Xiaotian leaned on the stone wall, feeling cold sweat, and his panic was difficult to control, and Li Xuan, who had just walked on the edge of life and death, although he was also flustered when he first fell into the crypt, he was not dead after death, but he was calm and abnormal at this time.

Li Xuan smiled weakly at Duan Xiaotian and said, "Brother Duan, in this situation, life and sword ...... You can still take it away!" Duan Xiaotian heard this, the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching, he sighed, and shook his head dejectedly.

The two were silent for a moment, and Li Xuan seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked at the faintly lit road entrance and said to Duan Xiaotian, "Brother Duan...... Where there is wind, it must be the entrance and exit...... Although this crypt is secret, there is rain pouring in, and the air is smooth, and the cold wind blows unstoppable, so I dare to assert that the bright end should be an outlet!"

Duan Xiaotian had an epiphany when he heard this, slapped his thigh, and praised in a low voice: "Yes! With entrances and exits, the wind can flow freely." So, the faint light must be moonlight...... Since we can see the looming moonlight, the exit will not be too far away from us...... Ha ha...... Brother Li is really a person who understands clearly......" As he spoke, he seemed to forget that Shicai was going to kill Li Xuan with his own hands. He gently stretched out his hand and helped Li Xuan, and the two of them staggered towards the light one after the other.
