Chapter 25: The Fire in the Stone

Breaking out from the other side wasn't easy either.

Mingyuezhu walked in the forefront, her mandarin duck and swordtails were tied with ribbons, fluttering with her figure, her movements were light and quick, varied and dazzling.The enemy's sight was disturbed by him, the arrows lost their aim, and they couldn't use long-distance attack.

If you want to defeat the ghost, you can only be faster than the ghost.

Brother Li and Zhao Shitu assisted from the left and right sides, protected Yan Wuhua in the center, and fought a way out from the encirclement.

The access hole has been sealed from the outside.Even if they break through, it is nothing more than replacing interception with pursuit.

The four of them couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north, and ran wildly in the corridor like headless chickens.

Zhao Shitu only felt pain and numbness in his shoulder, and the wound seemed to be burned by a raging fire. The blood mixed with sweat slid along the sleeve all the way to the fingertips, and dripped on the stone slab at his feet.

If it's just a simple scratch, it shouldn't be so serious, the arrow must have been coated with poison, the more he moves his body, the faster his luck will spread, the faster the poison will spread in his body.

Although he understands the truth, there is no other way, if he stops now, he will only die faster.

He didn't want to die, so he could only hold back the pain and looked for a way out.

At this time, he heard a small voice coming from his ear, intermittent because of the bumps: "...to...to the left."

"Little ghost, are you talking?" Zhao Shitu slowed down, only to notice that there is really an invisible secret door on the left.

Luo Huan nodded, and the broken hair on his forehead rubbed against his shoulder: "This is right here...quick..."

"Don't trick me," Zhao Shitu said with emotion, then called out to his companions in front of him, and went into the secret door together.

Opposite the secret door is another passageway, and there are two servants standing at the door, carved out of stone.Ming Yuezhu walked at the end of the team, and after she retreated through the door, Brother Li grabbed the servant Shi and pushed him down with all his strength.

Two guards made of stone rolled down in front of the door one after another, and finally fulfilled their accusation and blocked the door.

The pursuers soon arrived at the door, and their knives, axes and swords slashed at the stone door in turn, making dull crackling noises.Such an attack, even the servants can't resist it for a long time, everyone hurriedly turned around and walked along the corridor, Zhao Shitu turned his head to the side and asked the boy in his arms: "What's next?"

"Go to the left until the end." Luo Huan replied in a weak but firm tone, "The layout of this ancient tomb follows the Xiantian hexagram. The stone room we hid just now is the gate of death. It is symmetrical with it. There must be a The door of life, the exit is near the door of life, trust me."

"We have no other choice but to trust you." Zhao Shitu said while running.

A group of people walked half a circle along the corridor, and they found the Shengmen.It was a stone room that was almost exactly the same as before, except that there was an exit next to the coffin at the innermost side, which shone faintly.

The twilight was still covered with dust and was opaque, but in the eyes of Zhao Shitu at this moment, it couldn't be more clear and lovely.

He quickened his pace and ran against the light with all his strength, and finally saw the sun after a section of uphill steps.

Along with it came the sounds of fighting, the clash of weapons, shouts, curses, and exclamations, all intertwined and continuous.

No wonder there was so much dust in the passage just now, because the gunpowder smoke outside had covered the sky and the sun.

Although Zhao Shitu's eyes adapted to the light, his heart fell back to the bottom of the valley again: "It's hard to escape from the haunted nest, and there are still ambushes waiting outside. Will there be a way for people to survive?"

"No, Chief Zhao, look at their formation." It was Yan Wuhua who spoke.

Zhao Shitu casually wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and looked closely. They were standing outside the main entrance of the ancient tomb. Two solemn tombs stood on the left and right sides of the main entrance, with an upward-sloping Shinto between them.At the end of the Shinto is the Buddhist hall seen from a distance. Even the dome no longer exists, only four pillars remain. Two groups of people are confronting each other in front of the hall, and the sound of fighting comes from there.

Zhao Shitu couldn't believe his eyes: "It's not an ambush, but a civil strife."

"Everyone, hide first." Yan Wuhua greeted, leading everyone to hide behind a tomb, and then said: "On the way I was hijacked, I deliberately listened to their conversations, and I have some idea of ​​the cause of this civil turmoil. learn."

Zhao Shitu nodded: "Brother Yan, please tell me."

Yan Wuhua said: "This group of thieves came from Tubo, the one who confronted brother Shangguan just now is their boss, he is superb in martial arts, but has a fierce and cruel temperament. Head beheading', the prestige is extremely high among this group of Tubo warriors."

Confronting the Shangguan...Zhao Shitu forced himself to suppress the worries in his heart, and then asked: "But I think there are Han people in the bandit group, and they don't obey his leadership."

Yan Wuhua said: "That's right, bandits are rampant outside the Great Wall and are notorious. Among the Han people, there are also some desperadoes who joined for money. However, there have always been differences between them. Ma Touzhan followed the instructions of a 'king of law' The Han people didn’t take it seriously. Before, the thieves group just attacked the merchants and divided up the money, but this time the horse’s head beheaded did something even more insane.”

Zhao Shitu nodded and said, "Attacking Stone Town, killing the villagers, and even slaughtering the elite warriors sent by the Yuan family is indeed insane. Even desperadoes will be afraid."

Yan Wuhua agreed: "It's probably the case. They find that their safety is in jeopardy, and it is inevitable that they will rebel."

Zhao Shitu thought for a moment, then asked again: "But how do they plan to act? Even if all of them add up, they may not be the opponent of the horse's head cut."

At this time, Luo Huan tapped him on the shoulder again, raised his hand to look up and pointed: "Look at that stone wall."

"Huh?" Zhao Shitu followed his instructions and looked directly above the tomb door. "The stone wall is well-structured. The stone in the center seems to be larger than the others. What's wrong?"

Luo Huan said: "The biggest piece of stone is called 'Dragon Stone', which is the lifeblood of this ancient tomb. This ancient tomb follows the structure of Han tombs, and there are no pillars inside. It is all supported by the Dragon Stone outside. If the Dragon Stone is damaged , the body of the tomb will collapse and seal the inside.”

Zhao Shitu was surprised: "Sealed?"

He went to look at the situation in front of the Buddhist hall. Through the sword light and sword shadow, he saw a stone Buddha statue standing among the four pillars in the Buddhist hall without a dome.

The Buddha statue is so big that it is as tall as two people, and the base cannot cover it with open arms.

On the back of the base, there are some cylindrical wood piled up.

He suddenly realized: "I understand, they want to push down the Buddha statue, break the dragon stone, and seal those who can't win in the ground!"

I thought that beheading the horse's head and letting them into the ancient mausoleum was a unique move, but I didn't know that the mantis was catching the cicadas, and the oriole was behind.

How insidious and vicious are the scheming of these desperadoes.

Luo Huan's eyes were still on the Zhenlong Stone: "If the horse head is sealed inside, it will no longer be able to kill people and do evil."

Yan Wuhua showed worry, "But brother Shangguan is also inside."

Zhao Shitu took a deep breath and turned to Mingyuezhu: "Azhu, you take the kid and Mr. Yan away first."

"But you..." Ming Yuezhu looked at him hesitantly, only then noticed the blood on his shoulder, and said in surprise, "Are you injured?"

Zhao Shitu was also startled, only to find that his left arm was completely numb, half of his white sleeve was dyed red, he clenched his fingers, raised his head and said, "It's just a scratch, nothing serious."

Ming Yuezhu said anxiously: "There's been so much blood, it's still not a serious problem!"

He didn't seem to hear the other party's complaints, and continued: "The horse is still parked at the edge of the city, you can use the direction of the sun to identify its position, don't get lost, we will catch up later."

Ming Yuezhu wanted to say something, but Zhao Shitu just stared at her intently, with an indescribably serious expression.

She was silent for a moment, and finally replied: "I understand."

Zhao Shitu breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the boy on his shoulder to her: "Please."

Brother Li also raised his knife: "I'm standing outside, no matter what, I will never let them destroy the Dragon Town Stone."

He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll bring Shangguan out."
