A knife in love

Chapter 705

After hearing what happened to Yang Yansi, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.Yang Ye is a famous general in hundreds of battles. When leading the army to go out to fight, he is decisive and never hesitates.It's just that the situation was weird at this time, and he became hesitant for a while.

The red-robed man originally wanted to leave this place wholeheartedly, but after hearing Yang Yansi finish speaking, he turned his head and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the corpse of his own horse, and he tremblingly said, "Don't we? Before you know it, you're back to the same place again?"

Everyone actually thought the same as him, but they didn't say it out loud.At this time, hearing the red-robed man express the doubts in his heart, everyone was shocked.Monk Xuanji clasped his hands together, and said: "Amitabha. According to the poor monk, this place is the same as the archway we saw when we entered the town before. I'm afraid we will turn around and come back. maybe……"

Before he finished speaking, Situ Qiao sneered, and said, "Turn east and west? Go around. Could it be that if you become a monk, you can be unreasonable?"

Although Monk Xuanji and Situ Qiao have only met each other for a few days, he also knows that Situ Qiao's words are sinister, and he likes to argue with others the most.What's more, I discovered that Situ Qiao was acting suspiciously before, and I wanted to capture him for questioning. Since then, I have intercepted and killed Li Qiufeng, Situ Qiao and others several times, and I have formed a deep bond with Situ Qiao.Although after the strange incident happened in Taibai Juzhong, the two parties vowed not to fight each other again.It's just that Situ Qiao still has a grudge in his heart, and whenever he has a chance, he will mock him.Therefore, after listening to Situ Qiao's sarcasm, Monk Xuanji did not get angry, but smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. Situ's words are wrong. We originally thought that this town was only a hundred feet long, but we just came all the way. It took more than half an hour. You are people with martial arts skills, so your steps are not slow. If you calculate the time spent walking all the way, the road is about ten miles long. The houses on both sides of the road are exactly the same. We've been walking all the way, if the road turns slightly, I'm afraid we won't notice it."

After listening to Monk Xuanji's words, everyone recalled the situation along the way just now, but they couldn't remember whether there was a bend in the road.Just when he was in doubt, he heard Yang Ye say: "We are here to guess wildly, but it is not a solution. It is better to let Yansi and Yanzhao ride back to the place where we started, and see the situation there. If the two People did not find another archway, but turned back here. Naturally, the main road has a bend on the way, so let's try to get out. If there is another archway, it seems to be the end of the town, we will You can leave here at the other end of town."

At this time, everyone has nothing to do.Therefore, hearing Yang Ye's words, they had to nod their heads in agreement.Yang Ye called Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yansi, and told them to be careful.The brothers of the Yang family agreed, and then they jumped on their horses and galloped away along the main road.

Everyone stood under the archway, seeing the figures of the Yang family brothers disappearing at the end of the road, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.

With his hands behind his back, Li Qiufeng looked out of the town through the doorway under the archway.As far as the eye can see, there are skeletons and bones, feathers, arrows, knives and guns everywhere.Looking into the distance, what you see is gray, the sky and the earth seem to be integrated, and you can't see anything.However, Li Qiufeng knew that the skeleton army was gathering hundreds of feet away, and could attack and kill them at any time.

When he was thinking about how to get away, Situ Qiao walked up to him quietly and said in a low voice, "Brother Li, do you see that? Just now, the one surnamed Sun played his trick again and brought out a monster with a golden helmet and golden armor. But As far as I know, even the top illusion masters in the world, if they don't make arrangements in advance, if they want to create such an illusion in a hurry, even if Yao Guangxiao is resurrected, he can't do it..."

Li Qiufeng's heart moved, and he couldn't help but glance at Sun Guangming.Just at this time, Sun Guangming also turned his head to look at Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao. When their eyes met, they were a little embarrassed, and they each looked away.Li Qiufeng said in a low voice: "According to what Mr. Situ saw, we are in trouble. Is Sun Guangming playing tricks?"

Situ Qiao nodded, and said: "I don't know if all of this happened because of him, but I can be sure that in this ghost town, Sun Guangming set up traps according to the Qimen and Five Elements technique to trap us. it's here."

When he said this, he turned his head and glanced around, and then continued: "Monk Xuanji has high martial arts skills, but he doesn't know the skills of Qimen and the Five Elements. The skillful arrangement of doubts makes people feel like encountering a ghost hitting a wall. Getting out of the maze is the beauty of the Qimen Five Elements. Monk Xuanji thinks that this road has turned inadvertently, making us go around in a big circle and go back to the original place. He put this Things are too simple. I can conclude that this town was deliberately built according to the five elements of Qimen, we seem to be going straight along the main road, but in fact we are just going around in circles."

Li Qiufeng had seen Yao Guangxiao's methods before, and it was obviously only a dozen feet long road, but it never came to an end.Recalling what happened in the belly of Hutou Rock, he was in doubt, and said: "We have indeed encountered all kinds of strange caves in the belly of Hutou Rock. But according to what Li saw, At that time we were in the middle of the mountain, and the surroundings were extremely dark. It was not surprising that we could easily fall into traps and spin around in place. However, although the sky is dark now, compared with the cave, it can be regarded as bright. The enemy's No matter how powerful the technique of Qimen and Five Elements is, it cannot be hidden from the eyes of so many of us, right?"

Situ Qiao shook his head, pointed to a house with white walls and black tiles not far from the right, and said, "Brother Li, have you seen it? The houses on both sides of this road are exactly the same, there is no slight difference. So let's go all the way Come on, no matter how far you walk, because the road under your feet is exactly the same as the houses on both sides, before you know it, you will lose your vigilance to the surrounding situation."

Situ Qiao said this, paused for a while, and then continued: "Brother Li, you might as well think about it, even if we stay where we are on the way, because the situation around here is exactly the same, will we still think that we have been going all the time?" Are you moving forward?"

When Li Qiufeng heard what he said, he suddenly understood, and said in a trembling voice: "You mean that someone purposely built this house in such a way to confuse us and make us fall into the trap set by him without knowing it. ?”

Situ Qiao nodded and said, "That's right. In fact, the easiest time for a person to be deceived is when he thinks he's in a very familiar place." When he said this, his face suddenly changed, showing a puzzled expression , said in his mouth: "It's just that there is one thing I don't know. I have been to the ancient battlefield of Changping before, and I have surveyed everything in a radius of tens of miles, but I don't remember any Taibai residence, and I have not walked through that wooden bridge. As for the ghost town we are in right now, we have never seen it before. Why did so many strange things appear out of thin air when we set foot here again after such a short time? To build such a large-scale ghost town. Unless, like Yao Guangxiao did back then, with the help of the imperial court and mobilizing a large number of civilians, it may be somewhat possible..."

Li Qiufeng recalled the situation along the way, and found that since arriving in Luoyang, strange things have happened continuously.Although I had encountered many hardships and dangers in the Imperial Mausoleum, Yongan City, and Hutou Rock before, except for encountering the organs under Yao Guangxiao in the Jingxin Temple, the other dangers were confrontations with martial arts masters, but what I encountered now was extremely strange. It is hard to believe that the matter is related to ghosts and gods.

While he was thinking, he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from afar.After a while, the Yang family brothers galloped back.Before the two riders reached the archway, Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yansi got off their horses.The two horses were panting, and their bodies were already dripping with sweat.Thinking about it, the Yang family brothers used all their strength when they came and went, that's why their mounts were so tired.

I saw that the faces of the Yang family brothers were also covered with sweat, showing a look of panic.When everyone saw the appearance of the two, they felt ominous in their hearts.

Yang Yanzhao walked up to Yang Ye quickly, and said in a trembling voice: "Daddy, the boy and the seventh brother raced to the other end of the town. There is also an archway that is exactly the same as this one. Outside the archway, there are skeletons, feathers, arrows and swords everywhere." ..."

When Yang Yanzhao said this, his face was extremely ugly, sweat dripped down his forehead, and his voice became more and more trembling.I just heard him say: "Baby, the archway that my seventh brother and I saw just now, and the situation around the archway, are exactly the same as here. It's just that there is no... no..."

The corners of Yang Yanzhao's mouth twitched a few times, with a look of embarrassment on his face, as if he didn't know how to continue.Yang Ye said in a deep voice, "It's just that there are no people like us, isn't it?"

Yang Yanzhao trembled and looked up at Yang Ye, seemingly surprised. After a while, he tremblingly said: "Yes. Except without us, the situation is exactly the same as here. It's just that the child was worried about being discovered by those skeletons, so he didn't go to the place. Go outside the archway to check carefully..."

Yang Ye nodded and said, "In other words, the furnishings at both ends of the town are exactly the same, even the skeletons that our father and son just defeated are exactly the same."

Yang Yanzhao didn't speak, just nodded.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, their hearts full of surprise and uncertainty.

Yang Ye thought for a moment, glanced at everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "The current situation is weird, what are your plans?"

The man in red robe couldn't help trembling after hearing what Yang Yanzhao said.He said in a trembling voice: "Oops, it must be the Skeleton King who has manifested and trapped us here, and we need to use our flags..."

Before that, when Li Qiufeng was in Taibai Residence, he had heard the man in red ask about the location of the Skeleton King Temple.It's just that Li Qiufeng once heard from Situ Qiao that for thousands of years, corpses can be seen everywhere in the Changping Ancient Battlefield, so many place names are related to skeletons.It is not uncommon for someone to build a temple here to worship the dead.Hearing the red-robed man suddenly mention the word "Skeleton King" at this time, his heart shuddered.Looking at the appearance of this red-robed man, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, this man must be a high official of the imperial court.In his capacity, it is too strange to rush here to find a temple.I'm afraid this person has a lot of background, and I don't know if it has anything to do with Sun Guangming and Situ Qiao's plot.
