Chapter 34: Shock
There was only one four-passenger carriage in the Wuji Palace, except for the old man and Qi Kai, the entourage was only Xue Wuji and the six blood shadows, Qi Kai, the old man and Xue Wuji sat in the carriage together, and the six blood shadows secretly followed.
They are so low-key, as if they are deliberately hiding their whereabouts.
The carriage traveled for a long time before finally stopping.
Qi Kai got out of the car first, Xue Wuji followed, and the old man got out of the car last.
After getting out of the car, the old man did not seem to be in a hurry, but stood in front of the towering mountain, stunned.
Qi Kai and Xue Wuji also stood quietly beside the old man, and the old man suddenly sighed and said, "After twenty years, I finally came back here, but it's a pity that things are no longer human."
Xue Wuji didn't speak, but his eyes also showed emotion.
The old man suddenly said again: "This mountain is Qiyun Mountain, known as 'one since ancient times', Mr. Xue must have been here before, right?"
At this time, it is late autumn, and the majestic mountains are shrouded in a withered yellow, and the fallen leaves of the mountains not only do not make it show the slightest old age, but add a little vicissitudes of the world.
Xue Wuji raised his head and stared at the lofty peak, and even sighed, "Back then, I did come once, but I went down the mountain halfway."
His eyes showed a sense of depression, and he continued: "We were originally six people together, but when we finally came down the mountain, I was the only one left."
Qi Kai listened quietly.
The old man said: "It must have been very difficult for you to make the decision to go down the mountain halfway, but you now know that your decision was correct. ”
Xue Wuji didn't speak again.
The old man said: "This mountain road is not only tortuous, but also has a lot of forks, if you have not walked before, it is easy to get lost in the mountain, and it is not the first time I have come here, so I will lead the way." ”
The old man's figure shook and rushed out first.
Qi Kai looked at Xue Wuji, and followed the old man into the mountain.
It was only because he knew that since the old man was willing to be the first to enter the mountain, it was impossible for him to go last, because if he walked last, he would have many opportunities to escape.
Xue Wuji also rushed out after him.
The mountain road was steep and narrow, and there were occasional sharp bends, Qi Kai followed closely behind the old man, and the reason why he didn't dare to go too far was because he was afraid that Xue Wuji would secretly attack.
Qi Xingxin secretly said: Why don't you fly up directly to such a mountain without prohibition, wouldn't it save a lot of physical strength?
After running for tea, the three of them were almost at the mountainside, but the figure of the old man in front of them did not slow down, but had a tendency to slowly speed up.
Suddenly, a man in black appeared in front of the old man, whispered a few words, and then disappeared into the craggy rocks.
The old man paused, and his figure suddenly rose from the ground, and his feet kept connecting points on the steep cliff, and his body went straight to the top of the mountain like a bird fluttering its wings against the wall.
Qi Kai was startled, and immediately rose up, and the Wind Walking Technique supported his body to rise rapidly.
And although Xue Wuji did not have the old man's chic and elegant style, he also climbed on the cliff wall with his hands and feet like an ape, and then used his hands and feet to jump upwards violently, and the speed was not slow.
At the foot of the mountain, look at this peak seems to be lonely and pointed to the sky, but when Qi Kai arrived here, it was found that there is actually an octagonal pavilion several zhang square on the top of the mountain, but the pavilion has experienced frost and heat, the original bright red paint has been mottled and peeled off, and everywhere is covered with messy and interlaced deep marks, making the pavilion look not only old, but also hideous.
The old man stood motionless in the pavilion with his hands on his shoulders at the moment, and he did not see any breath.
Xue Wuji then arrived, and the old man suddenly jumped up, as if he was about to hit the top of the Octagonal Pavilion into a big hole.
Who knew that the roof of the pavilion had not been broken, but the old man had slowly floated down.
Qi Kai looked at the old man with some confusion, as if he was very puzzled by his actions.
The octagonal pavilion that was originally standing quietly on the top of Qiyun Mountain suddenly shook, as if it had suddenly come to life.
Qi Kai looked at it in a daze, he originally thought that the secret cave where Emperor Gu Dong hid his treasure must be in a very remote, even cliff, but he never expected that it would be under this octagonal pavilion!
Isn't he afraid that others will easily find him in such a conspicuous location?
Qi Kai suddenly understood that the most conspicuous place was the most secret place, because no matter who was looking for treasure, he would not spend his energy on a place with an unobstructed view, but deliberately looked for some remote and deserted places.
The old man seemed to have a slight smug on his face, and he said with a smile: "You didn't think that the place where Emperor Gu Dong hid his treasure would be here, right? Back then, the eight of us didn't notice this place either, but then we searched the entire mountaintop, but we found nothing, and finally when we had no choice but to rest here, we accidentally found a mechanism to enter the cave." ”
He jumped down with a smile, looked at Xue Wuji in unison, and jumped down as well.
Under the octagonal pavilion, there is an extremely wide stone room, the stone wall is flat and smooth, it does not look like it is artificially hammered little by little, but it seems to be cut by great magical powers.
In the center of the stone room is a round table, which can seat dozens of people without feeling crowded.
Behind the round table, there was a pitch-black door, and the black light on the door was circulating, thinking that it was the prohibition laid by Emperor Gu Dong.
Suddenly there was a sound of scolding outside the pavilion, and after only a few short screams, the sound of wild laughter came in: "Old immortal, twenty years have passed, but you haven't changed your sneaky problem!"
Qi Fa felt that the face of the old man beside him suddenly changed, and he only felt the sound of the wind in his ears, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that his hands were already against the stone door. I don't know what the black stone door is made of, it was very cold, he only felt a sudden coldness in his body, and then he felt a hot pain in his palm.
The old man said in a deep voice: "Concentrate on opening the stone door!" and then said, "Mr. Xue will block them first." ”
The sound of the clothes breaking through the air came, and the old man grabbed his arms tightly, and his palms seemed to have taken root on the stone door, and he couldn't move a bit. Although he didn't look back, he already knew that there must be more than one person coming, and sure enough, there was a sound of messy footsteps, and then he heard the person who was laughing just now speak: "Old immortal, only the two of us are here today, how about dividing it equally according to the old rules?"
The old man said coldly, "You came quickly!"
The man was not angry, but still smiled and said: "You don't want to share with me, it seems that you are completely sure that you can open this ban, so, the best!"
Xue Wuji saw that this person had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and although his hair had turned white, it stood on end, like a steel needle.
This figure suddenly swept in front of Xue Wuji, looked at him coldly, and said, "You also want to stop me?"
Xue Wuji suddenly felt a majestic force surging like a stormy wave, and his body couldn't help but retreat, but the hostility in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
The man laughed wildly and said, "Sure enough, he has some strength!"
In the midst of laughter, the big knife that was originally on his waist suddenly came into his hand, slashing into the void from the bottom up, and a yellow blade of light roared towards Xue Wuji.
Xue Wuji twisted his body in a flash, and the two short daggers had slipped out of his left and right sleeves, and he held the dagger behind his back with both hands, and rushed towards the man like a ghost.
The man sneered, and the big knife in his hand suddenly slashed horizontally, slashing at Xue Wuji's waist.
One inch long, one inch strong, one inch short, one inch dangerous.
Xue Wuji's weapons were only two daggers five or six inches long, while his opponent's weapon was a three-foot long knife!
Seeing the long knife coming at him, Xue Wuji didn't dodge or dodge, and the short dagger he held behind his wrist met him.
I saw that on the long knife, sparks flew everywhere, and the man suddenly jumped backwards, and the long knife almost got out of his hand.
The long knife opens and closes, and the short dagger is flexible and changeable, but the short dagger blocks the long knife, which has very high requirements for eyesight, hand strength, and body coordination.
What's more, in the short moment when the raw dagger slid from the long blade just now, Xue Wuji had already smeared his backhand towards his neck, and it was only with him that he retreated in shock.
Backhand blade, although the attack range becomes smaller, but the attack can be cut, the defense can be blocked, and non-masters can't use its essence.
The man squinted his eyes and said coldly: "I didn't expect that Your Excellency is still an expert in using daggers!"
Qi Kai's essence blood poured into the stone gate from the palm of his hand, and the originally black stone gate gradually reacted and began to emit yellow light.
The man exclaimed, "Do it!"
For a time, dozens of long knives were loud and murderous.
Even though Xue Wuji's short dagger was fast and sharp, after all, the double dagger was invincible to ten swords, and he could only keep fighting.
The yellow light of the stone gate became brighter and brighter, and the Qi Kai became more and more dim, only to feel that the heavens and the earth began to rotate.
The old man was shocked to see that he had been attacked from behind, and he turned around and shouted, and fought with the man.
Confused, his body suddenly lost support and fell softly in front of the stone door.
