A knife in love

Chapter 426

At this time, the situation in the hall was extremely strange.The side near the entrance of the main hall was extremely cold, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the ground.On the other side, the flames were soaring into the sky, and layers of heat waves continued to surge over.Qunhao was forced in the middle by the cold and flames, with no way out, no way to advance or retreat.Fortunately, the power of flame and cold air is almost the same, and suddenly fell down where the group of heroes stood, forming a circle with neither cold air nor flame.It's just that the circle keeps shrinking, and Qunhao's situation is getting more and more embarrassing.

Qunhao listened to Situ Qiao's narration of what happened to him at Princess Yongtai's Mausoleum, and when he said that three people suddenly appeared behind him, even though he was not in the same place, he was terrified.Murong Danyan was even more frightened and leaned tightly on Li Qiufeng's body, not even daring to breathe out.

Situ Qiao took a deep breath, and then continued: "At this time and place, I was so frightened that I almost flew out of my wits. I stepped back quickly, but I didn't notice that Li Xianhui and Wu Yanji and his wife were not far behind. The huge coffin where people were buried together. There was a 'bang', and I had already hit the coffin. The force of the impact was so strong that I felt a pain in my back, a sweetness in my throat, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out. I barely Standing up straight, knowing that there is no way to retreat, I thought that even if I was going to die here, I would have to die clearly. So I held the torch in my hand in front of me, trying to see clearly what these three people looked like.

"It's just that if you don't look at it, it's even more shocking when you look at it. I saw that the three people on the opposite side were two men and a woman. The woman stood in the middle, with tall temples and a graceful figure. She looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, her face was like a disc, and her eyebrows were close together. Wearing a little red mark. Wearing a light pink gauze dress and a white long dress inside. The man standing on the left is only in his 20s, with a handsome face, imposing manner, luxurious clothes, and sharp eyes. The man standing on the right is also in his 20s About [-] years old, wearing a green shirt, with a peaceful face and a smile on his face.

"I saw these three people standing quietly not far away, and suddenly felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave. Because these three people, these three people, I have just met before..."

When Situ Qiao said this, everyone was shocked. Liu Yong said, "Have you seen these three people? Could it be that Mr. Situ met these three people before entering the mausoleum?"

The law of the Ming Dynasty has extremely strict punishments for tomb robbers, and they will be beheaded immediately after being caught, and some even have to punish the nine clans.Therefore, when the tomb robbers are doing things, if they are seen by others, they must kill them to silence them, so as to avoid future troubles.If a thief like Situ Qiao was discovered before entering the Mausoleum of Princess Yongtai, he would chase him to the ends of the earth and kill him.So everyone thought in their hearts: "Could it be that Situ Qiao did not keep secrets, and when he killed people outside the mausoleum, he even let the three people escape their lives, and was tracked into the tomb by them?"

Situ Qiao shook his head, and said, "The three people I saw were not living people, but characters in murals painted on the wall."

As soon as he said this, everyone turned pale with shock and couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.But I heard Situ Qiao go on to say: "Every time I rob a tomb, after entering the tomb passage, I will carefully look at the murals painted on the walls and ceiling of the tomb, so as to speculate on some conditions in the tomb. The murals can be seen on the top of the tomb, through the cave, in the corridor and on the top of the tomb. When the royal family and the rich family built the tomb, they paid attention to death as life. The former tomb is the reception hall for the tomb owner in the underworld. Some maids in gorgeous costumes. These maids are plump and have different expressions, holding tea trays and other utensils in their hands. Some seem to be whispering, some seem to be nodding in approval, and some are looking around. These maids are at the meeting The guest hall is busy, as if preparing to serve the master and entertain guests. The back tomb is the bedroom of the tomb owner in the underworld. A round stone that symbolizes the moon. In the middle is a galaxy inlaid with fluorite, which is full of stars and is very gorgeous. On the wall of the back tomb, there is also a picture of Princess Yongtai and his wife having fun. In the painting, Princess Yongtai The couple stood side by side, surrounded by plump maids with different expressions. Besides the maids, there were also dozens of warriors in war robes and gold swords on their waists. These warriors were lined up in the tower and In front of the six-halberd weapon stand, the expression is solemn and extremely mighty."

Everyone wanted to know who the three people who suddenly appeared were, but Situ Qiao kept talking about the murals in Princess Yongtai's mausoleum, so they were impatient, but they were afraid of offending them by urging them. Look embarrassed.

However, Li Qiufeng thought of the murals that everyone saw after entering the huge stone disc, and thought to himself: "Although Situ Qiao is bitter and mean, he is not a reckless man. He stole the tomb in order to study the secrets of organs, read There are many ancient books, and he pays great attention to the murals and characters in the tomb. He has described the murals in such detail, which must have a deep meaning."

But I heard Situ Qiao say: "Those three people stood in front of me, among them, the woman and the man in the green shirt were the Princess Yongtai and his wife painted in the mural..."

As soon as he said this, everyone's hearts trembled.Deng Yao sneered and said: "I think Mr. Situ has done too many bad things, and he was dazzled by the fright, and even regarded the characters in the murals as real people."

Situ Qiao shook his head, and said, "I have never regarded robbery and digging of graves as a sinful act. These gold, silver and jewels were appropriated by the emperors, generals, and rich gentry, and they were buried underground without seeing the light of day. I will take these Taking out the money and distributing it to the poor and poor people is a kind heart, what is the crime? Monks and priests, worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures every day, how many people can be saved from the sea of ​​suffering? I stole gold, silver and jewels from those tombs , exchanged for silver, and helped tens of thousands of people. Old beggar, I have saved many of your disciples and grandchildren, so you should thank me."

Deng Yao was at a loss for words for a while, knowing that he couldn't talk to Situ Qiao, so he had to "bah" and ignore him.

Situ Qiao continued: "Looking at these three people, my body trembled involuntarily. After a long time, I asked in a trembling voice: 'You, are you humans or ghosts...' The voice came to my ears, but I couldn't help it." Knowing that he is serious and internal, he is just trying to calm himself down.

"Princess Yongtai and his wife were still smiling and didn't answer. The man in Chinese clothes standing on the left side of Princess Yongtai slowly walked up two steps, staring at me like a torch. I became more panicked and said in a trembling voice:' You, don't come here...' At this moment, a few figures gradually appeared behind Princess Yongtai and his wife. These figures were very blurry at first, but they became clearer and clearer, slowly showing their human shapes. In the end, there are clearly several plump maids, holding tea trays or porcelain pots in their hands, as if they are about to serve tea to the host and guests.

"This time I can see clearly. These maids seem to be slowly walking out of the stone wall, standing in front of me alive. My heart sinks instantly, and I know in my heart that these people are not alive. people, but ghosts..."

Before Situ Qiao finished speaking, Lin Yilang couldn't help saying loudly: "Absurd! How can there be any ghosts in the world? You are clearly deceiving us!" He turned to Liu Yong and said, "Mr. Liu, we Trapped in the hall, with life and death hanging by a thread, do you still want to listen to this lunatic talking nonsense here?!"

Liu Yong also felt that Situ Qiao's words were clouded and misty, and they were probably unreliable.It's just that at this time, Situ Qiao is still asking for help, and it is absolutely impossible to reprimand him for talking nonsense.So Liu Yong winked at Lin Yilang, signaling him to be patient for now.Lin Yilang suppressed his anger, seeing a ball of flames approaching the crowd, he sternly shouted, and suddenly struck out with his right palm.Hearing a "huh", the flame retreated suddenly like a poisonous snake being slashed head-on.

Seeing that Lin Yilang's palm strength is so good, several sect leaders and sect leaders cheered up immediately.Deng Yao even laughed and said: "I have heard for a long time that the Songshan school's splitting palm kung fu is unparalleled in the world, and today I see the head master Lin auditioning this martial arts masterpiece. It is indeed admirable."

Situ Qiao knew that Lin Yilang was protesting against him, but he ignored him, and continued, "I know everyone thinks I'm talking nonsense, but if you change places with me, I'm afraid you'll be the same as me." I was also scared out of my wits. I watched the maids serving tea to Princess Yongtai and the man in the Chinese clothes. The three seemed to be drinking tea while talking. But I could only see the mouths of the three opening and closing, but listening There is no sound.

"I don't know how long it took. Several maids took the teacups of the three of them, and three more maids came over to dress the three of Princess Yongtai. I was dumbfounded when Princess Yongtai suddenly turned around. I stood up and stared at me blankly. I was startled, and I couldn’t help but want to back up again. But at this time, I was leaning tightly on the coffin of Princess Yongtai and his wife, unable to take a step back. I saw Princess Yongtai Her face seemed to be covered with a layer of severe frost. She slowly raised her right hand and said a few words while pointing at me. However, I could only see the corners of her mouth moving, but I couldn’t hear her voice. But I saw her gloomy face , her eyes were full of murderous intent, I knew that her words must not be good, and the fear in my heart was even greater.

"At this moment, a figure slowly appeared behind Princess Yongtai, as if someone was walking from the darkness to the light. A moment later, several warriors in battle robes, golden helmets on their heads, and swords in their hands I came out from behind Princess Yongtai. I knew the situation was not good. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen warriors with helmets and armour, holding swords were standing in front of and behind Princess Yongtai. The same. The more I looked, the more frightened I became, and I just wanted to turn around and run away. Just as I was panicking, I suddenly heard a sound of people neighing from outside the tomb. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud sound of horseshoes, as if a large group of cavalry were approaching The tomb rushed over.

"At that time, I was scared out of my wits. I didn't dare to delay, so I turned around and ran away. But when I turned around, I saw a huge stone coffin in front of me. Although Princess Yongtai's mausoleum is named after Princess Yongtai, it is the residence of Li Xianhui and Wu Yanji. Joint burial tomb. The two couples are one body, and they are also buried in a coffin in the tomb. The outer layer of the coffin is a hipped stone coffin, with a wooden door in the middle, and a gatekeeper is carved on each side of the wooden door. I am in a hurry , I slapped it out with a palm, and only heard a 'click', and the two wooden doors were smashed to pieces by me. I grabbed both sides of the wooden door with both hands, put a little force on the ground with my feet, and slammed my head into the stone coffin. "
