Our priest may be ill

"I am the main force of this operation, how could I not go?"

Gong Tianxue rode ahead on a tall horse and said triumphantly.

Beside him is Endige, who looks solemn and even a little nervous. Endige is in charge of leading the way. The road to the tomb of the gods is a path opened by the predecessors who cut down the dense forest, but no one has walked it for many years. In the weeds, Endigo had to be very careful to discern the right path.

"You'd better be more cautious, don't rush so far ahead." Li Chou steered his horse to follow up from behind, and said to Gong Tianxue.

The two rode forward one after the other, Li Chou's eyes never moved away from Gong Tianxue.

Their group, the team that finally made it out was Gong Tianxue, Wang Hufa, and Li Chou, members of the Chentian Sect, Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu's subordinate Zhao Xun, and a member of the Martial Arts League who followed Baiyu. constitute.Protector Zhang stayed behind to protect Zhao Chang, so that Zhao Xian would not make trouble behind them.

According to Li Chou's plan, they just walked around in front of the God's Tomb, and Zhao Xu didn't object to it. When they approached the God's Tomb, the sky was a bit dark, and the huge trees that blocked the sky blocked the most exuberant sunlight in the afternoon. Outside this forest area, Qi Qi could no longer move on horseback, and the dense bamboo forest in front of him could only allow one person to shuttle through.

Brother Endi turned around and said something to Li Chou. Li Chou nodded and said to everyone:

"Get off the horse, everyone follow Brother Endi."

Everyone got off their horses one after another and lined up, and those behind followed in the footsteps of those in front.

Brother Endi walked in the front, followed by Zhao Xu and his followers, Wang Hufa, Gong Tianxue, and finally Li Chou.

Li Chou stared at Gong Tianxue with a complicated expression. For some reason, ever since Gong Tianxue asked him if there was any elixir left in the tomb of the gods that night, he had been feeling uneasy. Bringing Gong Tianxue here is not a good thing.

Gong Tianxue also felt that there was an "eager" gaze staring at his back all the time, making the core of his spine itch, wishing he could immediately pull the person behind him over and kiss him hard, but Now it's not easy to show love to Li Chou in public, no, in a narrow alley, otherwise Li Chou is so thin-skinned that he wouldn't be angry.

He straightened his back, walked with his head held high, and kicked Protector Wang's knee several times in front of him, almost kneeling.

Protector Wang:? ? ?

In the depths of the moso bamboo forest, the tomb of the god's tomb had begun to take shape, Gong Tianxue finally couldn't bear it anymore, reached back, grabbed Li Chou's hand, rubbed the cartilage joints, and squeezed it tightly in his palm.

Li Chou was taken aback by his sudden tug, and quickly looked around, thinking that something was wrong.

Gong Tianxue happily dragged him forward without saying a word.

Gradually, Li Chou understood what Gong Tianxue meant, and bowed his head in silence again, but his ears were filled with enthusiasm, and the panic in his heart calmed down a little. Knowing what to think about, Li Chou felt a little helpless.

When he arrived at the tomb of the god, Li Chou put away his charming thoughts, took his hand from Gong Tianxue's hand, walked around to the front of the group, and joined Brother Endi.

Not far in front of them, there is a huge stone cave more than three feet high. It is dark inside, and even in the daytime, it is impossible to see how deep it is.

"Is this the tomb of the gods?"

"It looks scary, so dark."

Wang Hufa and Zhao Xun started discussing, and the others were also concentrating on looking at the cave.

Brother Endi said something to Li Chou. Li Chou nodded, turned around, and said to the crowd:

"Brother Endi can only send us here, and we have to walk the rest of the way by ourselves. Don't run around, and you must not disperse your actions after entering the cave. There are many traps in the tomb of the gods. Once you are alone, the large army will not risk the whole world." The danger of the annihilation of the army came to you."

Everyone cheered up and said yes one after another, and the king who had never been upright also straightened up.

"Gong Tianxue and I go to the front, and the young leader is at the rear." Li Chou arranged the formation.

Gong Tianxue immediately applauded, that's all.

Seeing that Gong Tianxue was so obedient, Li Chou wondered if he was paranoid again.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the bamboo forest.

Li Chou turned his head immediately, and saw several bamboo arrows "swish" from the forest. He was holding Han Zhan, and was about to draw his sword, when Gong Tianxue raised his arm, and an invisible wall of air was shot out. The bamboo arrows were broken to the ground one after another.

Such a strong skill made everyone on the scene admire, and secretly thought that following the master would be reassuring.

The matter is not over yet.

The moso bamboo parted from the middle, and "whoosh" passed a figure, attacking the entrance of the cave.

The man was so fast that he couldn't even see the shadow, so he jumped into the hole.

Even Gong Tianxue didn't have time to stop her.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Brother Endi was also shocked, and chatted with Li Chou.

Li Chou frowned, while Gong Tianxue looked at the direction where the man disappeared, and said, "Wasn't that disabled Zhao Xian just now? Why did he suddenly fly?"

Li Chou bent down to pick up the bamboo arrow on the ground, and threw it into the air, only to hear a "bang", and the rope broke and fell, and everyone saw clearly that Zhao Xian had just swung the rope past, that is to say, Zhao Xian had already set up an ambush here.

"Damn it..." Li Chou cursed in his heart, the matter was already troublesome enough, and Zhao Xian was here to add to the chaos.

"Ah Chou, what should we do now?" Seeing Li Chou's complexion was serious, Gong Tianxue asked hastily.

"Enter the cave, be careful." Li Chouguo said decisively. As for Zhao Xian, since he wants to seek death, let him die.

A group of people bid farewell to Brother Endi and entered the tomb of God according to the original plan.

Outside the tomb of the gods is a long cave, which leads to an underground river. In the middle of the dark river, there is a round altar with stone skulls placed on it, which looks eerie.

Li Chou put the burden on the ground and asked everyone to stop and rest. If you go further inside, you will enter a dangerous organ. This altar is relatively safe. Li Chou does not intend to move forward. Since he is pretending, he is in a safe place. Just walk around.

In order to create the illusion that they had tried their best but failed to find the elixir of life, Li Chou estimated that they would have to wait on this altar for three days, eat up the dry food in their bags, and then go back.

The only variable now is Zhao Xian, I don't know if Zhao Xian went into the tomb or ambushed somewhere.

Li Chou felt a little anxious, ever since he entered this familiar place, he couldn't rest easy, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Why do gods use human bones as sacrifices?" Zhao Xu walked around the altar, pointed to the skull above it strangely, and asked, "This tomb of the gods is very strange. Could it be a demon cave?"

When he said this, although all the people present were highly skilled and bold, they couldn't help feeling covered in white sweat.

"The skull symbolizes wisdom, and the separation from the flesh symbolizes the truth, the truth," Li Chou said calmly, "We ordinary people look scary, but to the gods, it's nothing. They don't age or die, and they have seen too much of these things."

Zhao Xu showed admiration on his face, and said, "It's still Li Shaoxia who can see clearly."

"Don't dare." Li Chou lowered his eyes.

Gong Tianxue thought of what Li Chou once said to him, seeing a person's whole process from birth to death, and then the flames rushed in, and the bones turned into dust. But a kind of helplessness and sadness.

Gong Tianxue took Li Chou's hand, exerted a little force, and pulled him aside.

The two sat down on a rock, with gurgling water under the rock, Gong Tianxue unpacked the bag and said, "I'm hungry."

"You're so hungry." Li Chou couldn't help laughing.

"No way, young man, you are in good health." Gong Tianxue said triumphantly.

When everyone was nervous, only Li Chou and Gong Tianxue were sitting there sharing the food, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and happy.

After a while, Zhao Xu and his attendant Bai Yu said a few words, walked over, and asked Li Chou, "When are we going to the tomb?"

Li Chou was taken aback. Zhao Chang was not here at this time. He had already agreed with Zhao Chang before that going to the tomb was just a formality. Zhao Chang also conveyed this meaning to Zhao Xu. Why did Zhao Xu come to ask him specifically at this time? Time to go to the grave?Could it be that Zhao Chang didn't communicate clearly?

It was Gong Tianxue who said first: "If you don't go to the tomb, who said you're going to go to the tomb? It's dangerous in the tomb. Let's just sit here for three days and show the emperor how he looks, so we can explain when we go back."

Zhao Xu's smile froze slightly: "This... I'm afraid it's not good? We've already come here, how can we not go in and have a look? Besides, with Master Gong who is so good at martial arts, are you still afraid of the tomb of an ancient man?"

Li Chou thought to himself, Zhao Chang really didn't explain clearly, and said, "We won't go to the tomb, Zhao Chang didn't tell you before?"

Zhao Xu showed confusion: "Why did Zhao Chang say this?"

Li Chou frowned secretly. Why didn't Zhao Chang speak clearly at the critical moment? An upright person like Zhao Xu must follow the imperial decree and go to the tomb of the gods. To stop him, he needs a strong enough reason. Thinking about it, Zhao Chang didn't convince Zhao Xu at all, he thought Zhao Xu understood.

He was hesitating, what reason should he use to persuade Zhao Xu, when he suddenly heard Protector Wang shout: "Who is it!"

This sound spread from the dark river, forming a buzzing sound in the huge cave, and for a while, there were echoes in all directions:

"Who--" "Who--" "Who--" "Who--"...

The dark environment, coupled with the rumbling echoes, was a bit weird and scary, and the atmosphere became tense again, until the echoes dissipated, and no one spoke again.

In the silence, a voice suddenly came:

"Brother Li, help!!"

Li Chou was startled, and looked into the darkness, but he couldn't see anyone, but he knew it was Zhao Chang's cry.

Soon, there was a rustling sound, and someone took Zhao Chang to the direction of the tomb.

As if the sword of fate had finally fallen, Li Chou's heart sank. After all, he still wanted to go back to that place...

The most unexpected thing happened, even if he transferred Zhao Chang away from the tomb of the gods and let him stay far away in Tugu City, Zhao Xian still managed to get him into the tomb of the gods.

There was a swishing sound of flying around, and Zhao Xu had already galloped towards the place where the sound came from with two followers.

Gong Tianxue stood there hesitantly, and asked Li Chou: "Shall we chase?"

Originally it was better not to act separately, but due to an instant change, the team fell apart, leaving only Li Chou, Gong Tianxue and Wang Hufa on the altar.

Facing Gong Tianxue's questioning eyes, Li Chou said in a deep voice, "Chase."
