A knife in love

Chapter 461

Liu Yong and Zhu San's family walked out of the temple, and there was a black bottomless abyss in front of them.But everyone knows that there is a stone beam between the edge of the steps outside the temple gate and the stone arch bridge, on which there is silver powder sprinkled by Situ Bridge. As long as you shine it with a torch, it will shine and reveal a passage.So Liu Yong walked up to the bottom stone step with the torch, raised the torch from memory, and shone into the abyss.

It's just that although Liu Yong pointed the torch into the abyss, there was no light of silver powder in front of his eyes.

Liu Yong's heart sank, and he immediately knew what had happened.

Deng Yao and Lin Yilang, who left first, did not let everyone go.They quietly exited the Jingxin Temple, and when they passed the stone beams on the bottomless abyss, they backed away and swept the silver powder on the stone beams into the abyss.In this way, when people want to walk up the stone arch bridge, they cannot see where the stone beams are, so they can only walk forward in the dark.On top of this bottomless abyss, although the distance from the temple gate to the stone arch bridge is only five or six feet away, one can only move forward carefully and tentatively, otherwise one will fall into the abyss if one is not careful.

Liu Yong told everyone about the situation.Everyone was furious, and scolded Deng Yao and Lin Yilang for their vicious intentions, and they had no demeanor of martial arts elders.Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "This is a bit strange. Did Deng Yao and Lin Yilang know that we could not find a way out after the main hall, so they ran away first? Besides, although they are despicable, they are the leaders of the beggar gang and Songshan after all. The head of the faction is blatantly enmity with the Huashan faction, Kunlun faction, Qingcheng faction, and Taihua faction. Unless the two have calculated that the four masters Liu Yong, Chu Danyang, Xu Chenghe, and Taoist Qingfeng will not be able to leave Jingxin Temple alive, Otherwise, I will never do such a thing that leaves no way out."

While he was thinking about it, he heard Zhu Sanjia say: "Although the two thieves are insidious, it is useless to do so. We only need to ask Situ Qiao for silver powder, and naturally the stone beam can be reappeared."

Just as Zhu Sanjia finished speaking, Taoist Qingfeng shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhu may not know that the silver powder in Situqiao's hand has been used up. Before we entered Jingxin Temple, under the stone arch bridge opposite us, the poor Taoist saw him There is not much silver powder in his hand. When he came to the gate of the temple, there was not much silver powder left..."

Murong Danyan didn't wait for Taoist Qingfeng to finish, and said first: "There is not much left? That is how much is left, I went to ask him for it, and try to see if it is useful."

After Murong Danyan finished speaking, he turned around and ran back to the temple.Li Qiufeng was afraid that it would be dangerous for her to go to Situ Qiao alone, so he followed her in.When the two arrived in the courtyard, they saw Situ Qiao still pacing up and down in the hall after a long distance.When the two arrived at the gate of the hall, Situ Qiao gave them a cold look and said, "I've already said, if you go your way, I will never leave."

Murong Danyan sneered and said, "We don't want you to leave either. Give us your silver powder."

Situ Qiao was stunned, and said, "Don't you guys give up and still want to find a passage in the abyss?"

Murong Danyan said bitterly: "What are you looking for? The silver powder on the stone beam we passed by when we came here has been taken away by two thieves, Deng Yao and Lin Yilang. We want to go back the same way. , you have to use silver powder to find that stone beam again..."

Situ Qiao's complexion changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice, "Why is this happening? I expected that these two bastards were determined to kill me, but they would not let you go!"

Murong Danyan said: "What about us?! It's serious to take out the silver powder as soon as possible. You can rest assured that we are different from those two thieves. We will not sweep the silver powder away after finding Shiliang with the silver powder and leaving. When you leave, you can follow the stone beam and retreat to the cave at the bottom of the mountain."

Situ Qiao spread his hands, and said with a dejected expression: "The silver powder is all used up, and it is useless for you to look for me."

Murong Danyan's expression changed, and he said, "Is there nothing left?"

Situ Qiao said: "No. There is no wind in this mountainside. After we pass by, if someone does not deliberately destroy the silver powder, the silver powder will not fly away. Therefore, before I arrived at Jingxin Temple, when I sprinkled the silver powder, there was not much silver powder. Think, I have used up all the silver powder."

When he said this, he complained that everyone didn't pay attention to the malicious intentions of Deng Yao and Lin Yilang.Murong Danyan was annoyed, and shouted: "What's the use of talking about it now?" After speaking, he turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, it looks like we have to walk back step by step from the stone beam in the dark."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "The stone beam hangs above the bottomless abyss. If you can't see your feet clearly, it is extremely dangerous to walk on the stone beam. But judging by everyone's martial arts, even though there is no silver powder to guide the way, As long as you are careful, it is not difficult to pass the stone beam. Deng Yao and Lin Yilang swept away the silver powder, not in the delusion that everyone would fall into the abyss from the stone beam, but to delay the speed of everyone's return, so that they You can join the group of heroes first. At that time, the two will tell stories and join hands with the group of heroes to single out the four factions of Huashan, Kunlun, Qingcheng, and Taihua, and even kill themselves, Murong Danyan, and the three families of Zhu. At that time, The Beggars’ Clan and Songshan Clan can dominate the world and become the two major factions that are as famous as Shaolin and Wudang.”

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was also anxious, he didn't want to spend any more time in Jingxin Temple, and said to Murong Danyan: "Let's leave here as soon as possible, if Deng Yao and Lin Yilang, these two thieves snatch the first , I'm afraid the situation will be very bad."

The two of them were about to leave the courtyard, Situ Qiao hurriedly said: "I will leave with you, maybe we can take care of each other."

Murong Danyan sneered and said, "Don't you want to find any more clues on these two corpses?"

Situ Qiao said: "Now that I know Yao Guangxiao's end like this, my wish is over. Besides, there is nothing on this person, it's just a dry bone. Although I want to find the formation map of the Xingxing Great Formation, I can't save my life." I still want it. If I don’t leave with you at this time, I’m left alone, and I don’t have any silver powder to guide the way, I’m afraid I really have to stay with Yao Guangxiao.”

Situ Qiao said while holding a torch and walked out of the palace gate.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan turned around and walked towards the gate of the temple, but they turned their backs to Situ Qiao, and did not see a very strange smile suddenly appearing on his face.

The three hurried out of the temple gate.Li Qiufeng told about the exhaustion of Situqiao's silver powder. Although everyone had heard what Taoist Feng had said, they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.At this time, all hopes were dashed, and everyone looked depressed.

Situ Qiaodao: "Everyone is a master of martial arts. It is not worthy of your status to be so depressed when encountering such a small incident. I still remember the location of Shiliang. We just need to be careful, and there will be nothing wrong with it." risk……"

Before he could finish his sentence, Chu Danyang frowned and said, "It's just that we won't be able to catch up with Deng Yao and Lin Yilang. These two thieves swept away the silver powder to clean us up." Only by delaying can they rush back. When the two of them fan the flames and gossip, the disciples we stay in the cave below will be in bad luck."

Liu Yong and the others had already figured out the joint here, and they were also worried at this time.Situ Qiao said: "Let's hurry up, maybe there is still hope. Although most of the traps along the way have been cracked by me, but if the remaining traps are triggered, they are enough for these two bastards to drink a pot. I see that although the stinky beggar and that hypocrite are good at martial arts, they don't know the art of trapping information. The two ran back triumphantly, and they might touch the trap. It is greatly reduced. As long as we pass two stone beams, we will have a smooth journey, and it is not difficult to catch up with these two bastards."

After hearing Situ Qiao's words, everyone cheered up immediately.After the discussion, Situ Qiao still led the way, followed by everyone.Holding the torch in his left hand, Situ Qiao found the junction of the stone steps and the stone beams based on his memory.He took a deep breath, and tentatively stepped out with his right foot until he was sure he had stepped on the stone beam, then he breathed a sigh of relief, paused for a moment, and then took the second step.

Everyone walked up the stone beam one by one. Although they all held torches in their hands, it was still pitch black under their feet, so everyone walked extremely carefully.But in this way, the walking speed became extremely slow, and after half a stick of incense, he could only walk more than three zhang.

At this time, Situ Bridge has passed the middle point of the stone beam, and it is only two feet away from the stone arch bridge.And Li Qiufeng, who was walking at the back, had just stepped onto the stone beam and took two or three steps.

Everyone lined up and walked slowly on the stone beam.

At this moment, two loud bangs suddenly came from the stone arch bridge opposite the stone beam.Immediately after two "swish", two points of cold light shot from the top of the stone arch bridge to the stone beam.

This incident happened suddenly, and everyone's hearts trembled.Those two dots of cold light shot straight at Situ Qiao who was walking in the front.He said "Oops" and hurriedly leaned down.Two o'clock cold light flew over his head, and hit Liu Yong who was following behind him.

With the light of the torch in his hand, Liu Yong could already see clearly that it was two short arrows flying towards him.He recognized the short arrows that everyone had seen shot from the mechanism on the bridge railing in front of the stone arch bridge, and his heart trembled. He knew that there were enemies hiding on the stone arch bridge, so he picked up the short arrows that fell on the ground as hidden weapons to attack himself and his party people.In the blink of an eye, although he was able to avoid these two short arrows like Situ Qiao.It's just that in this way, Chu Danyang, who was following behind him, was completely defenseless, and he was afraid that he would be injured by a short arrow.At this moment, Liu Yong couldn't bear to think too much, he drew his sword backhand, and made two "ding ding" sounds, the two short arrows had been knocked away by him with his long sword, and fell into the bottomless abyss.

Liu Yong just knocked the short arrows into the air, only to hear several more sharp bangs, but four short arrows flew over at the same time.

Situ Qiao cursed, he didn't dare to stand up, and squatted on the stone beam.The four short arrows flew over his head and attacked Liu Yong again.Liu Yong swung his long sword and sent the four short arrows flying.It's just that he just shot down the short arrow, and then four short arrows flew over again.

Liu Yong knew that the enemy was hiding on the top of the stone arch bridge, and by the light of their torches, he could clearly see their positions.While waving the long sword to block the short arrows, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, put out the torches quickly, so as not to expose the position and be taken by the enemy."

Situ Qiao was lying on the stone beam at this time, and when he heard Liu Yong shouting, he turned the torch upside down in desperation, and slammed headfirst into the flames.He only heard the sound of "嗤嗤" incessantly, and then the top of his head was in severe pain, and he also smelled a burnt smell in his nose, presumably his hair had been ignited by the torch.He rubbed his head against the stone beam a few times before extinguishing the flames in his hair.Although he was very embarrassed, he finally extinguished the torch.
