A knife in love

Chapter 1786

When Xiao Dong said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "According to the documents, only the tombs of Liao emperors or princes can use the feng shui pattern of ninety-nine return to one. If others dare to adopt this feng shui pattern in their tombs The pattern is the great crime of treason, which must be exterminated. And to pile up eighteen huge skulls, at least two or three thousand heads are needed. Even if it is a famous minister and general, where can I find so many heads? ? From here to the middle gate, if we can find nine pairs of skulls, then this tomb must be the tomb of the emperor or prince of Liao."

After listening to Xiao Dong's words, Li Qiufeng was thoughtful, and didn't speak for a while.Seeing this situation, Murong Danyan whispered to Wang Xiaoyu: "Although the surname Xiao is a villain, he is quite knowledgeable. If we want to escape, maybe he can be of great help. You keep embarrassing him, right? There is no benefit for us to escape."

Wang Xiaoyu snorted, glanced at Xiao Dong, then lowered his voice and said to Murong Danyan: "Even if we know that the owner of this tomb is the Emperor of Liao, what's the use? Do you know the identity of the tomb owner?" , can help us escape?!"

Murong Danyan was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Wang Xiaoyu's words were quite reasonable, and he was speechless for a while.She didn't think deeply at first, and followed Li Qiufeng every step of the way.Li Qiufeng wanted to know who the owner of the tomb was, so Murong Danyan wanted to help him find out.Before he knew it, he thought that knowing the identity of the tomb owner would allow him to find a way to escape.But at this time, being pointed out by Wang Xiaoyu's words, Murong Danyan's heart sank immediately, and he stood there in a daze, feeling quite depressed.

But I heard Qi Jiu say to Xiao Dong: "Lord Xiao, according to what you said, when the Liao court built the mausoleums for the emperor and the prince, they would adopt this Fengshui pattern of ninety-nine returning to one. The emperor rules the world, and the mausoleum rules the world. , Naturally, it is not surprising. But how can the crown prince have a tomb that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor? Although I have little knowledge, I also know that in the past dynasties, no emperor has ever built a tomb for the crown prince."

Xiao Dong shook his head, and said in his mouth: "It's ashamed to say that Xiao doesn't know much about the tomb of the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. I don't know why these Khitan people put the emperor and the prince side by side when they built the tomb. Perhaps The bad habits of the barbarians are very different from our Central Plains country."

Just as Xiao Dong finished speaking, there was a soft "poof", everyone's eyes lit up, and then turned into darkness.It turned out that the torch in Xiao Dong's hand finally burned out, and the flame on the last bit of pine oil suddenly rose sharply, and then went out.

Everyone was suddenly plunged into darkness, and their hearts were filled with horror.It's just that in the blink of an eye, several strange blue spots suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu, and Xiao Dongshang were calm, but Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu screamed in fright.The second daughter screamed and fled behind Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu in the dark.

These blue light spots were small dots at first, like the light of fireflies, they circled and danced around everyone.At first glance, they are very close to everyone, but looking carefully, they seem to be far away.Even if Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu were not weak in martial arts, they couldn't judge how far these blue spots were from themselves for a while.What was even more weird was that in the blink of an eye, the spot of light slowly began to grow larger, and soon became like the flame of a candle.They rose slowly from the deep part of the tomb passage, and spread around everyone silently.Because of these light spots, the tomb passage was shrouded in a layer of coquettish and strange blue light, and the two huge skulls on the stone wall that had been hidden in the darkness appeared again in front of everyone.Under the shroud of blue light, the two big skulls became more and more strange. There seemed to be blue eyeballs in the four black eye holes, and the sides of the mouth were raised upwards, revealing a sinister smile.

Everyone was dumbfounded at first, but before they knew it, they saw more and more blue spots, like a blue river, flowing silently in the tomb passage.Although it looks rather weird, it is extremely charming.Everyone looked at the monstrous situation in front of them, the initial panic dissipated without a trace, and finally they were immersed in the sea of ​​blue light, and they were no longer as flustered as they were just now.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Qiufeng suddenly woke up.I saw the strange blue light spots around everyone, up or down, drifting erratically.Li Qiufeng involuntarily held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and his mind became more and more awake.At this moment, he saw Murong Danyan raised her head, looking fascinatedly at the blue light spots rising from the tomb passage, the stone wall, etc., and finally she stretched out her right hand tremblingly, wanting to touch her. The nearest point of blue flame.Li Qiufeng was startled, and in a flash, he had already arrived at Murong Danyan's side. He slashed out with his left palm, and only heard the sound of "hu". The blue flame was like a poisonous snake being slashed head-on, and it floated away instantly. Far.

Under the light of countless blue flames, Murong Danyan looked confused, with a half-smile on his face, staring at the countless blue light spots around her, his right hand was raised in front of him, as if he wanted to touch the blue light. flame.Li Qiufeng said loudly: "Miss Murong, be careful! This is a will-o'-the-wisp, don't touch it!"

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, his palms flew up, and wherever the internal force went, the blue flame was immediately shaken and flew out.In the blink of an eye, all the will-o'-the-wisps around the five people were forced out of their distance by Li Qiufeng's palm.

Qi Jiu had also come to his senses at this time, only heard him yell, and pushed out his palms flatly, and immediately pushed back the will-o'-the-wisp in front of him a few feet.It's just that these will-o'-the-wisps didn't seem to be willing to retreat. Although they wobbled and floated away from Zhang Xu, they gathered together again and formed a huge circle, circling around the crowd continuously.

Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu yelled loudly, and each shot away the will-o'-the-wisp.The blue spot of light that shrouded everyone in it receded in an instant, and Murong Danyan, Wang Xiaoyu and Xiao Dong also came to their senses.The three of them looked blank at first, but when they saw the layers of will-o'-the-wisps outside Zhang Xu, they remembered what happened just now, and their expressions changed drastically.There was a chaotic sound of "choking and clanging", but it was Murong Danyan and the other three who had already pulled out their long swords.

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't panic. These are ghost fires. The flames are cold and cannot hurt us."

Wang Xiaoyu said in a trembling voice: "Just now we have seen will-o'-the-wisps on the stone platform outside, but those will-o'-the-wisps are like soybeans, dotted like dots, how come these will-o'-the-wisps are big balls of flames?"

As soon as Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, Murong Danyan continued: "Sister Xiaoyu is right. And the will-o'-the-wisps on the stone platform are not blue. The color of the will-o'-the-wisps in front of me is too weird, I'm afraid there are some weird ones."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, Miss Murong and Miss Wang had never seen a will-o'-the-wisp before, so they were so terrified.The will-o'-the-wisps that I saw on the Changping Ancient Battlefield that day had strange shapes and ever-changing colors.If they saw the will-o'-the-wisps on the ancient battlefield with their own eyes, they would probably faint from fright on the spot.
