A knife in love

Chapter 1788

The more Murong Danyan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his body trembled slightly.But I heard Li Qiufeng say: "Miss Wang, if you don't dare to go forward, it's okay. You and Miss Murong wait here for a while, Li and Brother Qi go to check it out, and then come back here with the two of you. Girls meet."

Before Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he heard Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu tremblingly saying in unison: "No! I don't want to stay here!"

Seeing the appearance of the two daughters, Li Qiufeng felt both helpless and funny, so he said in a deep voice: "If the two girls want to go with us, don't worry. Li and Brother Qi will definitely protect the two of you. "

Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu looked at each other and nodded at the same time.Li Qiufeng saw that the two daughters had no further objections, and was about to turn around and walk towards the middle gate, but saw Wang Xiaoyu pull out a torch from his waist, and wanted to ask Murong Danyan for a torch to light the torch.Li Qiufeng hurriedly waved his hand to Wang Xiaoyu, pointed to the will-o'-the-wisps around and said, "Why do we need to light the torch when these things can light the way for us?"

At this time, Wang Xiaoyu's fear lessened, and she had to give up after hearing that Li Qiufeng would not allow her to light the torch.When everyone walked towards the middle gate, Wang Xiaoyu followed Li Qiufeng closely, and said, "Hero Li, you said that you encountered a more terrifying ghost fire on the ancient battlefield of Changping. Can’t the big tomb be done?”

Li Qiufeng thought to himself that the Changping War caused the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Qin and Zhao countries, and the messy corpses were much more terrifying than this large tomb.Miss Wang is just a weak girl, so naturally she doesn't know how terrible the Changping War is.I am afraid that no one will believe my bizarre experience in Changping.Ms. Wang is also a person who likes to get to the bottom of things. The situation is critical now. How can I have time to talk to her about these things?

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng said: "The ancient battlefield of Changping is not a good place. After we escape from here, Li will tell the girl in detail."

Li Qiufeng's voice fell, only to hear Qi Jiu say: "This is the second pair of big skulls."

It turned out that when Li Qiufeng was talking to Wang Xiaoyu, everyone had already reached the place where they had just seen the second big skull.Everyone listened to Qi Jiu's words and stopped in unison.I only heard Murong Danyan say: "Just now I clearly remembered that it took us a long time to reach the first big skull. How come we came back in the blink of an eye. This is really strange."

As soon as Murong Danyan finished speaking, Wang Xiaoyu echoed, "Sister Murong is right, I also find it very strange. We just walked back and forth between the first pair of big skulls and the second pair of big skulls. I think it took at least half a stick of incense time. How come we walked back and arrived here without taking a few steps? Is there really a shrinking technique in the world that allows us to walk back in the blink of an eye?"

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "What the two girls said is quite reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it is not entirely true. When we saw the first big skull, we were horrified, and when we walked forward, every time We walked carefully every step. It was an ordinary one-foot road, but we walked as difficult as a ten-foot road. The distance between the two pairs of big skulls was about three or four feet away. If it were normal, it would be easy to reach But the first time we came here, we walked very slowly, which naturally took a lot of time. When we got here, we found that there were large skulls on the stone walls on both sides of the tomb passage, and our hearts became more and more frightened. Going back to the first pair of big skulls, the more careful you walk, the longer it will take. Until we come back here again, after Mr. Xiao’s explanation, we already know that these skulls are the Khitan people who built the emperor’s tomb They were piled up on purpose, and the fear in everyone's hearts disappeared, so they naturally walked quickly."

When everyone listened to Li Qiufeng's words, although they were a little surprised and uncertain in their hearts, they also felt quite reasonable.I only heard Qi Jiu say: "I just counted our steps while walking down there. There are 25 steps between the two pairs of big skulls."

As soon as Qi Jiu finished speaking, Wang Xiaoyu interjected, "So, if we walk 25 steps forward, we will see the next pair of big skulls?"

Qi Jiu nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's exactly the case."

Murong Danyan glanced in the direction of the middle gate, and said: "It's really strange. Just now I clearly saw those two people walking towards us. But when we walked towards the middle gate, they seemed to be retreating all the time."

After hearing what Murong Danyan said, everyone looked towards the middle gate.At this time, countless blue will-o'-the-wisps were flying around in the tomb passage, covering everyone's eyes, but they couldn't see where the two figures were hiding.I just heard Wang Xiaoyu say: "Maybe those two are not human at all, and like the three skeletons we met just now, they are all dead people who were trapped in the tomb."

Li Qiufeng said: "It's useless to talk too much, just go and have a look."

After he finished speaking, he clenched the handle of the knife with his right hand and walked forward step by step.Qi Jiu walked on his right, counting her steps in her heart as she walked forward.When he walked five steps to No.20, he immediately stopped and looked at the stone walls on the left and right sides of the tomb passage.Sure enough, two huge skulls appeared on the stone walls on both sides, staring at the black eye holes, looking at everyone strangely.

At this time, everyone was no longer as frightened as before. Not only were Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu not afraid, but they pointed at the two big skulls with excitement on their faces.Seeing the appearance of the two girls, Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu couldn't help but look at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

After that, everyone moved forward all the way, and every 25 steps, a pair of huge skulls appeared on the stone walls on the left and right sides of the tomb passage.The blue will-o'-the-wisp danced and circled around the crowd, but seemed to be afraid of Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu, and did not dare to approach the crowd, but stayed a few feet away from the crowd, as if spying on them with ill intentions.

When everyone saw the ninth pair of big skulls, the will-o'-the-wisps that had surrounded them gradually became less and less.They seemed to be afraid of something, and when they reached the ninth pair of big skulls, they didn't dare to float forward anymore, but flew up and down in the tomb passage, as if they were frightened by something and became a little flustered.

Li Qiufeng and others couldn't help but stop, and they all looked towards the middle gate.With the help of the blue light from the will-o'-the-wisp, I saw two figures standing three or four feet away, one on the left and the other on the right in the tomb passage.He seemed to be holding something in his hand, but it was too far away to see clearly.

There was a chaotic sound of clanging and rattling, but it was Murong Danyan, Wang Xiaoyu and Xiao Dong who had already drawn out their long swords.Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu were not as panicked as Murong Danyan and the others, they stood in front of the crowd, fixed their eyes on the middle gate, and finally saw the situation ahead clearly.It turned out that the two figures were not real people, but stone statues carved on the two huge stone gates.

Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said to Murong Danyan, Wang Xiaoyu and Xiao Dong: "It's just two stone statues, you don't need to panic. We tossed about in the tomb passage for a long time, and finally saw the middle door. It's not a waste of time.
