A knife in love

Chapter 434

Liu Yong hurt Li Qiufeng, and he was very sorry.At this time, seeing the coffin suddenly moved, I was afraid that Li Qiufeng would make a mistake.After Murong Danyan jumped up, Liu Yong jumped towards the coffin on the platform with a flash.His kung fu is far superior to Murong Danyan's, he came later, before Murong Danyan's, his right arm focused on internal strength, his long sword was like a dragon, and he stabbed straight at the huge ebony coffin.

Li Qiufeng had already noticed a strange sound coming from behind him, but he suffered internal injuries, and his body was slightly sluggish when turning.He saw Liu Yong and Murong Danyan flying over, and the two long swords were shining brightly, pointing at his back, and he knew something must have happened.Seeing the opportunity very quickly, he threw himself forward, jumped straight down to the platform, turned around in mid-air, and faced the ebony coffin.

Just hearing a "bang", the coffin lid flew out, and the "moonlight" shone into the coffin through the big hole in the caisson in the hall.Immediately afterwards, a gray shadow suddenly stood up from the coffin, facing the two long swords of Liu Yong and Murong Danyan.

Liu Yong and Murong Danyan rushed towards the coffin from left to right.Both of them are masters of swordsmanship, when the long sword was stabbed out, the edge of the sword rustled, piercing the man's left and right temples.

From the sound of the coffin lid to the figure standing up from the coffin, it was just a matter of lightning and flint.Li Qiufeng turned his body upside down and fell down the platform. He could clearly see that the person in the coffin was wearing a gray robe, but his head was a skull, with two black eye holes and teeth protruding from his face, which looked terrifying. extreme.

When Liu Yong and Murong Danyan stabbed with their two long swords from left and right, the skeleton stretched out both hands, holding Liu Yong's and Murong Danyan's long swords from left to right.Li Qiufeng could see clearly that those two hands had no muscles at all, they were actually bones.

The long swords in the hands of Liu Yong and Murong Danyan were held by the skeleton, as if piercing into a rock, and they could no longer move an inch.The bodies of the two were in mid-air, and they activated their internal forces at the same time, but the tip of the sword seemed to be supporting a huge rock, and they couldn't move forward.

As soon as Li Qiufeng landed on the ground, he bounced up again and flew straight to the platform, cutting the skeleton's neck with the Xiuchun knife in his hand.

At this time Taoist Qingfeng and others also came to their senses, seeing Liu Yong and Murong Danyan's long sword being grabbed by the skeleton, there was no basis for advancing or retreating, and it was extremely dangerous.Hastily drew out their swords and rushed towards the platform.Taoist Qingfeng thought to himself: "Just now, I fought with Liu Yong out of helplessness. Seeing his appearance, he didn't mean to sneak attack on me. I'm afraid there was a huge misunderstanding. I used the sword technique to restrain the Huashan School, and he must have seen it. The reason is that there may be a rift. I must do my best to make up for it, so as not to deepen the misunderstanding." Thinking of this, he rushed to the left side of the skeleton with his long sword before everyone else.

These people are all well-known heroes in the Jianghu, and attacking at the same time at the same time, what an astonishing momentum.The skeleton didn't seem to notice it, and pushed its two palms full of bones to the left and right. Liu Yong and Murong Danyan were in the air, with no leverage, they just felt a strong force coming, and they couldn't help themselves. flew out.

Liu Yong flipped two somersaults and landed firmly on the ground.Seeing that the group of heroes had rushed to the platform one after another and was attacking the skeleton with the sword in his hand, he naturally refused to lag behind. With a wave of the sword in his right hand, he wanted to rush forward to help.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stopped in front of him, and then someone whispered: "Mr. Liu, wait a moment, you can't beat him!"

Liu Yong was startled, turned his head to look, but saw that the man was Situ Qiao.His heart trembled, and he said, "Mr. Situ, what's your opinion?"

Situ Qiao looked at the skeleton and said in a deep voice, "He is not a human being, but a puppet made by Yao Guangxiao, driven by drugs. If you besiege such a monster, even if you stab it with a sword, you won't be able to hurt him."

Liu Yong looked up and saw that the weapons in the hands of the heroes greeted the skeleton one after another.It's just that the skeleton seemed to have eyes all over its body, and its two dead wood-like palms hovered like flying, blocking all the swords of Qunhao.A moment later, he even grabbed the wooden stick in Deng Yao's hand and snatched it into his arms.Deng Yao only felt a strong tug, his hands shook violently, and the wooden stick could no longer be held. With a sound of "hoo", the wooden stick was already snatched from Deng Yao's hands by the skeleton.Deng Yao's arms were sore, his palms were trembling, and he hurriedly put his hands in front of his eyes.With the moonlight shining overhead, I saw a long bloodstain on the palm of each hand, which was caused by the friction when the wooden stick was pulled away by the skeleton.Deng Yao was terrified, and involuntarily stepped back two steps, but unexpectedly, he was standing on the edge of the platform, when he stepped back, his right foot stepped in the air, and he fell to the ground on his back.

With Deng Yao's martial arts, if he stumbled and stepped into the air, he would naturally be able to turn his body around with lightness kung fu and land on the ground smoothly.Even if it accidentally fell to the ground, it is not a serious problem.It's just that at this moment, he was terrified in his heart and lost his hands and feet. When he fell from the platform, his whole body was already stiff, but when he fell, his head was facing down, and he hit the gold brick on the ground.By the time he felt something was wrong, his head was less than half a foot from the ground, and it was too late to turn around.His heart felt cold, so he had to close his eyes and wait for death.

Seeing that his head was about to hit the gold brick, he suddenly felt that his right ankle was tightened, and it was already firmly held by someone.Immediately afterwards, the person who grabbed Deng Yao's ankle lifted it vigorously, and at the same time stretched out his hand to support Deng Yao's waist, and immediately turned Deng Yao's body upside down.Deng Yao took the opportunity to exert force on his waist and stood firmly on the ground.

Deng Yao narrowly escaped death and turned his head to look hastily, only to see that the person who saved his life was Lin Yilang, the head of the Songshan School.He cupped his fists and said to Lin Yilang, "Thank you, Master Lin, for saving your life."

Lin Yilang waved his hand, and said: "Big Leader Deng is serious. I offended you so much just now, please don't be offended by Gang Leader Deng."

Deng Yao was startled, not knowing what Lin Yilang meant.Seeing his blank face, Lin Yilang continued, "To tell you the truth, I suddenly saw Situ Qiao attacking me just now, and I drew my sword to fight back in desperation. At that time, the hall was dark, and Situ Qiao and I fought five or six times. Ten moves, I was about to succeed, suddenly someone let out a scream, I woke up, only to find that the opponent was not Situ Qiao, but Lord Deng, God bless you, otherwise my crime would be serious. "

It was only then that Deng Yao realized that it was Lin Yilang who had fought him just now, he felt apologetic in his words, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master Lin, to tell you the truth, just now I also regarded you as Situ Qiao, Therefore, when I made a move, I wanted to take your life, and I used a lot of insidious tricks, so I ask Master Lin not to blame you."

When the two were talking, Murong Danyan had already joined the battle group and stabbed three swords at the skeleton, but was blocked by the skeleton with a wave.When the skeleton covered it, it seemed that every move was a casual wave, but it was extremely powerful.Murong Danyan was blocked three swords in a row, and was about to thrust out the fourth sword, but felt his right arm numb and startling, the long sword could barely be thrust out, his wrist could no longer support the long sword, the tip of the sword drooped down, knowing No longer able to attack, he had to take a step back.

Liu Yong saw that although Qunhao was besieging the skeleton, he was driven into a panic by the skeleton. He was anxious and said to Situ Qiao, "Mr. Situ, is this a human or a ghost? How can a skeleton be so powerful?"

Situ Qiao said: "This thing is not a person, nor is it a ghost. Mr. Liu must have heard the legend of the Eighteen Bronze Figures in Shaolin Temple and the Wooden Figure Lane?"

Liu Yong nodded and said, "It's just that this is a legend in the world. No one has ever seen these eighteen bronze figures, and no one has crossed the wooden man alley..."

Situ Qiao didn't wait for him to finish before rushing to say: "It's not a legend. Some people have seen the Eighteen Bronze Men, and some even broke into the wooden man's alley, but these people are already dead."

The legend of the Eighteen Bronze Men of Shaolin Temple is widely spread in the Jianghu. Some people say that the so-called Eighteen Bronze Men refer to the eighteen masters of Shaolin Temple who are extremely skilled in martial arts.These [-] masters study Shaolin martial arts intensively in the Bodhidharma Academy on weekdays, unless the Shaolin Temple is at a critical moment of extinction, they will never make a move.But a more well-known saying is that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, because of the contribution of "thirteen stick monks to save the king of Tang Dynasty" in Shaolin Temple, Tang Taizong Li Shimin invited skilled craftsmen to build eighteen bronze arhats for Shaolin Temple.The eighteen arhats are driven by organs, and each bronze arhat can practice a set of martial arts skills of Shaolin Temple.Eighteen bronze arhats can be combined to form an eighteen arhat formation. If someone breaks into the formation, it will be like facing eighteen top Shaolin masters by one person.Moreover, these eighteen arhats are made of brass, invulnerable to swords and guns, who in the world can be the enemy?According to legend, the eighteen bronze arhats were placed in the secret room of the Arhat Hall of Shaolin Temple in Songshan. If the Shaolin Temple suffered a catastrophe, the monks could retreat into the secret room under the Arhat Hall and defend against the enemy with the Eighteen Arhats. The whole temple is safe.As for whether these eighteen bronze figures refer to the eighteen masters of martial arts, or whether there are really eighteen bronze arhats, no one can say clearly.Although most of the leaders of the major gangs in the Jianghu have good friends with Shaolin Temple, but this matter involves the secrets of Shaolin Temple, the gang leaders and heads of each gang naturally know the importance, so it is not easy to ask the head of Shaolin Temple and the head masters of each hall and courtyard.However, the evil figures in the rivers and lakes are afraid of the martial arts and prestige of Shaolin Temple, and they dare not provoke Shaolin Temple.Therefore, for hundreds of years, although the legend of the Eighteen Bronze Men has been raging in the Jianghu, Shaolin Temple neither admits nor denies it, and no one can tell clearly whether the legend is true or false.

As for the Wooden Man Alley, it is an extremely bizarre legend.It is said that in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and rebels often came to the foot of Songshan to loot.The people suffered from rebellious soldiers and thieves, so they fled to Shaolin Temple one after another for shelter.In order to protect these common people and prevent Shaolin Temple from being harassed by thieves and soldiers, Shaolin Temple selected 72 monks with strong martial arts skills to serve as monks and soldiers of the temple. They were assigned to patrol around Shaolin Temple in turn every day.Although the monks in Shaolin Temple practice martial arts, they are not the princes of a separate party after all, so naturally they cannot hide armor and weapons privately.Therefore, Shaolin Temple tied rattan and wooden boards on the monks and soldiers to act as armor and to guard the sword.It's just that the Shaolin monks are highly skilled in martial arts, each one is worth a hundred, so it doesn't really matter if you have the rattan armor or not.Later, the thirteen stick monks including Tanzong of Shaolin Temple went to the foot of Songshan Mountain for alms, and met Shan Xiongxin, a general under Wang Shichong, who led the army and martial arts masters to chase and kill King Li Shimin of Qin. According to guarding the mountain pass, 13 people resisted Shan Xiongxin's 72 soldiers and horses, until the general of the Tang Army led by Wei Chigong arrived, repelled Shan Xiongxin, and protected Li Shimin's safety.After Li Shimin became emperor, he issued an edict to reward the monks in Shaolin Temple and allowed Shaolin Temple to raise monks and soldiers.The system of 72 monks and soldiers has been handed down.Later, 72 talented and intelligent monks were selected from the temple, and each of them practiced one of the unique martial arts skills of Shaolin Temple, collectively known as the 72 unique skills of Shaolin Temple.And these 72 monks are dressed in rattan and wooden armor, forming a formation.When the monks in Shaolin Temple achieve great martial arts, they have to break out of the wooden man alley formed by these [-] monks before they can be regarded as masters.It's just that this legend is false and the truth is unknown. The monks of Shaolin Temple have never admitted that there is such a wooden puppet formation.

As a well-known master of the Huashan School, Liu Yong has always been on good terms with the abbot of Shaolin Temple and the first masters, and he is also quite interested in the Eighteen Bronze Figures and the Wooden Figure Alley.It's just that he respects his identity, so naturally he won't ask Shaolin Temple about it.At this time, when Situ Qiao heard that there were indeed eighteen bronze figures and wooden figure lanes in Shaolin Temple, he couldn't help but feel moved, and said, "The eighteen bronze figures and wooden figure lanes, could they be driven by mechanisms?"
