A knife in love

Chapter 1790

Wang Xiaoyu was talking about himself, but Xiao Dong took the conversation away. He was very upset, and was about to refute, but he heard Li Qiufeng say: "Master Xiao is very knowledgeable, and he is quite familiar with the emperor's tomb. Let Qian Xin Wan Ku came here, thanks to Master Xiao’s guidance. Therefore, Master Xiao should preside over the escape.”

Xiao Donglian said he didn't dare, said a few words humbly, and then continued: "The craftsmen who died on the stone platform outside were all master craftsmen who were supervised by the generals of the Liao Kingdom. They tried their best to escape from the big cave. Naturally, it was because they knew that there was no way to escape from the outer door of the tomb passage, so they had to secretly dig a secret passage when building the tomb, leading to the big hole in the isolated peak. These people are skilled craftsmen in building tombs, so naturally Tomb robbers are masters. But even they can't escape from the tomb passage, if we want to find an escape passage here, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than reaching the sky."

When everyone heard Xiao Dong's words, they felt a little frustrated and disappointed.Although Wang Xiaoyu was against Xiao Dong everywhere, he wished he could kill him with a single sword.But she also knew that Xiao Dong had a deep scheming heart and was working in the government, so he knew a lot about the situation of this tomb, far better than the rest of the people.What he said was quite reasonable, even the master craftsman who was the prisoner of the Liao Kingdom could not escape from the tomb, so he had to dig another secret path to escape.Although there are martial arts masters like Li Qiufeng in my group, in this big tomb, no matter how high your martial arts are, it will not be of much use.Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyu was also a little discouraged, drooping his head and stopped talking.

I only heard Xiao Dong continue to say: "At first, the lower official thought that we wanted to escape, and the only way out was the cave outside. But just now when I saw the three skeletons who killed each other and died together, the lower official suddenly realized. Those who entered the tomb passage after the prison craftsmen were killed must not have entered here from the round hole on the top of the big stone cave outside. Therefore, there must be another passage for them to enter the tomb passage, but we have not found this one yet. Where is the passage?"

When Xiao Dong said this, everyone who was originally depressed and disappointed immediately felt moved, and thought to himself that it was indeed as Xiao Dong said, the three skeletons died in strange ways. Sneak into the tomb.Those craftsmen could not escape from the isolated peak, and the three of them had no way to enter the tomb passage from the isolated peak, so they naturally entered the tomb passage from other passages.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng and others nodded one after another, saying that Xiao Dong was right.

Seeing that everyone praised him so much, Xiao Dong felt complacent, and then said: "We have checked the outer door and the tomb passage just now, but we didn't find any passages. For ordinary people, I am afraid that they are already disappointed. But there is a saying in Jianghu , It’s called put to death and live later. Since the outer door and the tomb passage are dead places, we can only save our lives from death. The only place we haven’t found before is this middle door. Let’s take a closer look at these two stone doors first. Search, if you can’t find any clues, it’s not too late to think of other ways.”

After Xiao Dong finished speaking, Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu, and Murong Danyan looked at each other and nodded at the same time.Qi Jiulue thought for a while, and said to everyone: "Master Xiao has a great opinion, and I admire it. But just now, I also remembered something, and I have to tell you all. Five or six years ago, I went to Mount Tai with my father and missed Sutou on the way. , came to a wilderness. Seeing that the dark clouds were forming and it was about to rain heavily, my father had no choice but to take his servants and hide around until the heavy rain first fell, and finally found a dilapidated house next to a mass grave. , barely able to shelter from the rain.

"The heavy rain came very quickly, but it passed quickly. Half an hour later, the heavy rain stopped, but the sky was still dark and dark. Hiding in the dilapidated house, I remembered that when I passed the mass grave, I saw many scattered The bones and skeletons on the ground felt a little uneasy. At this moment, several will-o'-the-wisps floated into the dilapidated house. It was the first time I saw the will-o'-the-wisps, so I was naturally a little frightened. My father shrank into a ball, Let me comfort you by saying that the will-o'-the-wisp is the cold fire that rises from the dry bones after death. It can't harm anyone, so don't be afraid, but there is one thing that needs to be taken care of, and it shouldn't be taken lightly. If the will-o'-the-wisp is white and purple, it's no big deal. But once it turns blue, you must be careful. That's because the blue will-o'-the-wisps are often released from the dead bones in the cave, and can compete with people for nourishing Qi. Moisturizing Qi in the cave is inherently Little, the will-o'-the-wisp will suck all the moist air away, and the people in the cave will suffocate to death."

When Qi Jiu said this, he paused for a while, turned his head and glanced at the will-o'-the-wisps circling several feet away, and then said: "My father also said that the more the will-o'-the-wisps absorb the moisture, the bluer they will become. You may as well Look at these will-o'-the-wisps, aren't they bluer than before?"

When everyone heard Qi Jiu's words, they were extremely astonished, and they couldn't help turning their heads to look at the way they came from.However, the will-o'-the-wisps a few feet away have turned dark blue, and are no longer as delicate and beautiful as before. At first glance, it looks like a dark cloud, which makes one's heart palpitate.

Li Qiufeng took a deep breath, he didn't know if it was because the moist air in the tomb passage was really lacking, or because he felt frightened after hearing Qi Jiu's words, he seemed to have difficulty breathing.Murong Danyan, Wang Xiaoyu and Xiao Dong also took a deep breath, everyone felt uncomfortable, and panicked immediately.I saw Wang Xiaoyu stamped his feet repeatedly, and said loudly to Qi Jiu: "You really don't know the seriousness! Why didn't you say such a big thing until now? Could it be that you want to kill us all here?!"

When Qi Jiu was reprimanded by Wang Xiaoyu, she was quite embarrassed, and said in a muffled voice: "Miss Wang blamed you, but I was negligent. When I heard my father talk about this matter, it was five or six years ago. He's just a child and doesn't understand the world. After we entered the tomb passage, we saw the blue will-o'-the-wisp for the first time. I thought about it in my heart, and felt that someone had mentioned the blue will-o'-the-wisp to me. I just thought about it carefully, but I couldn't think about it at all. I got up. It wasn’t until I inadvertently glanced back that I realized that the will-o’-the-wisps had become bluer, and I was startled. I don’t know what happened, but I suddenly remembered that I was with my father in the dilapidated house outside the mass grave five or six years ago. The story of sheltering from the rain..."

Wang Xiaoyu didn't wait for Qi Jiu to finish, snorted, and said in his mouth: "I see that you are so distracted, I don't know what you are planning. When I was seven or eight years old, I once encountered evil spirits at the foot of Old Man Mountain. Still remember clearly?!"

Murong Danyan saw Wang Xiaoyu pressuring Qi Jiu like a cannonball, leaving Qi Jiu speechless and embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Sister Xiaoyu, it's too unfair for you to be so demanding of Mr. Qi."

Wang Xiaoyu turned his head to look at Murong Danyan, and said anxiously: "He only talked about the weirdness of the blue ghost fire until now, and he missed the time to escape. Now the color of the ghost fire has changed drastically, and he wants to moisten the water in the tomb passage." A lot of Qi has been sucked away. In this way, don’t we want to suffocate here to death?!”
