Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

At the end of the passage, there is a wide cave that suddenly opens up. People who have walked in the narrow passage for a long time suddenly feel that their breathing is much easier. The space here is so wide that the few torches at the beginning can't even reach the edge. The dozens of torches that followed were all gathered in one place, and they managed to get a rough overview of the place.

This turned out to be a natural karst cave, with strange-shaped stalactites hanging on the top of the cave. The ground was uneven, and many stalagmites grew out. Many stalagmites have been connected with the stalactites hanging upside down, forming large and small stone pillars. The thin stone pillars are about the same size as the pillars of the house, and the thick ones may not be able to hug several people.

Many people who have never seen a cave in their life have marveled at the uncanny workmanship of nature, and some people even wondered if they have gone too deep to come to the underworld - such words are of course not worth mentioning, but Now a more realistic problem is also in front of people.

Countless stalagmites and stone pillars block people's sight, and even in many places, piles of stone pillars are connected into blocks or pieces, dividing the cave into fragments, like a pure natural maze.Looking at them from where they stood, they felt that there were roads in all directions, some of which were obviously dead ends, some of which were connected to each other irregularly like cobwebs, and some of which led to nowhere.

There is no doubt that at least one of the roads must lead to the exit, otherwise the people of the Red Lotus Cult could not appear in the cave for no reason.

Zhang Chi was originally surprised that the designer of Jinghong Villa would come up with such a magical idea of ​​"digging a passage through the bottom of Dongting Lake". After such a passage from the karst cave to Jinghong Mountain Villa, even the stones that were chiseled at the beginning were still scattered in the corner of the karst cave.

The crowd didn't disperse hastily, after all, in such an underground, if they got lost with the large army, they might never be able to find them again.In the end, Fu Jinglei commanded the well-trained iron guards to scatter, and found dead ends and fork roads one by one in a simple and rude way. Jiang Shi followed behind, drawing on the cloth with the charcoal pencil he carried. with a simple map.

But the vastness and complexity of this cave exceeded their imagination, and the iron guards could not go deep into every corner. In the end, they could only take a suspected correct route, leaving an iron guard on fire at every fork. Guarding, and Jiang Shi followed to draw the map all the way, at least there is no need to worry that if you go wrong, you won't be able to find it.

***

After walking for a while, they bypassed many forks and turns. They neither saw the exit nor found any traces of human activities. , a sharp-eyed Iron Sword Sect disciple was the first to discover a skeleton curled up in a corner.

I don’t know how many years the skeleton has been rotting quietly in this unknown underground. The flesh is completely gone, only the yellowed bones are scattered on the ground, and the clothes and belongings have also rotted away. Only an old tome lay beside the bones.

The disciple picked up the book, patted the dust on the cover, and said in amazement: "This is... the magic scroll of Danshu?!"

"What?!" Many people present exclaimed, looking at each other and guessing: "Could this corpse be Duguye?"

"I didn't expect him to be buried here."

"No wonder it never appeared in the Jianghu again."

There are always some enduring stories and legends in the Jianghu. Even though the parties have been dead for many years, they are still circulating in the market, and even become more and more exaggerated, and eventually become household legends.

For example, the ferocity of the father and son of the peerless blood demon, the miraculous medical skills of Qin Wushang, the poisonous doctor, and the stunning beauty of "Ming Yue Ji" Chu Yanran, which has attracted countless people in the world to fight. One of the famous legends is this "" Danshu Shenjuan".

More than a hundred years ago, this "Spiritual Book of Alchemy" of unknown origin suddenly appeared in people's sights. It is said that the peerless martial arts recorded in this book are enough to make people reborn, invincible, and even ascend to immortality. , beyond the cycle of life and death, although many people have questioned the origin of this thing and this miraculous statement, but many people still insist: "What if it is true?"

"Even if it can't be as exaggerated as becoming an immortal, at least it should be true that it records peerless martial arts?"

"If it's not true, why is everyone robbing it?"

"Since everyone is robbing, whether it's true or not, I can't let others get there first."

So this "Dan Shu Shenjuan", which has always been a dragon but never seen its end, set off a bloody storm in the Jianghu. The "God Scroll" was won by a current master named Duguye, after that Duguye disappeared and no one saw him again.

Some people say that he went to practice in hiding, some people say that he has been murdered, and that the person who snatched the "Spiritual Book of Alchemy" deliberately concealed it so as not to become a target of public criticism, and some people say that he has already achieved supernatural powers and ascended to immortality. Others analyzed that it is very likely that there was no "Dan Shu Shen Juan" at all from the beginning to the end, and everything was just a conspiracy of the Northwest Tartars, who used a non-existent secret book to stir up the Central Plains martial arts to kill each other and greatly hurt their vitality. They hated each other even more, and could no longer unite to resist foreign aggression. At that time, the court was in decline and the people were in dire straits. Within a few years, wars broke out in the Central Plains, and fell into a war that lasted for nearly a hundred years.

As Duguye and the "Shenjuan of Danshu" disappeared completely, this statement was gradually recognized by many people. Until more than a hundred years later, the "Shenjuan of Danshu" that had become a legend in the world suddenly appeared again. in front of everyone.

The Tiejianmen disciple who got the "Spiritual Scroll of Danshu" opened the first page in surprise, and before he had time to see the paper full of obscure and profound words and human figures in the illustrations, the book in his hand was suddenly blocked by Kongtong. The leader of the faction was taken away.

The head of the Kongtong sect looked so ordinary as if he just took a cup of tea from an old friend, opened the book and said: "Let me have a look, I don't know whether this magic book of alchemy is real or not."

"You...!" The disciple of the Iron Sword Sect dared not speak out, and the head of the Iron Sword Sect was even more furious: "Why are you robbing me so hard!"

The head of the Bagua Sect, who has a good relationship with the Kongtong faction, defended: "We all came in together. Even if we find something, it should be the person who saw it. Does it mean that whoever touches it first will own it?"

The Qingcheng sect also said angrily: "Then what do you want to do, can't each of the ten sects divide it into several pages?"

The highly respected master Huiming persuaded loudly: "Amitabha, everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. I don't think this 'Danshu Shenjuan' may be true. It is better to let the old monk identify the authenticity and then decide how to deal with it. .”

He said this sincerely. Sects like Shaolin Temple and Shangqing Palace have quite deep roots in martial arts, and they are not as greedy for martial arts secrets as other sects. But at this time, who can Can you listen to what he said and believe that he is selfless?

Qin Wuqi was studying the map with Jiang Shi at the back of the crowd. When he saw the commotion here, he came over and asked, "What's going on?" The head of Xiang Kongtong faction tried to take back the "Spiritual Book of Danshu".

The head of the Iron Sword Sect thought to himself, Qin Wuqi's own martial arts are already very strong, and he is also the most influential person in the martial arts alliance. He is surrounded by Jiang Shi who is full of hidden weapons, the loyal Fu Jinglei and the entire iron sword. With the help of the guards, if he wants to snatch the "Spiritual Book of Alchemy", the others will be powerless to stop him. By that time, the weakest Tie Jianmen might not even be able to drink the soup. In this case, it is better to grab it from yourself first. , and then use the threat of destroying the cheats to negotiate terms with other sects.

But the head of the Kongtong faction is not a vegetarian after all. He retreated dangerously when there was no time left, leaving the head of the Iron Sword Sect in vain, but he never expected that the head of the Bagua Sect who had always been on good terms with him But suddenly turned around, a palm knife cut to his wrist holding the book, the head of the Kongtong sect felt his whole palm go numb, and the "Spiritual Book of Alchemy" flew out of his hand.

But the head of the Bagua Sect couldn't get away to pick him up, because the Miaoyin Master of the Emei School who couldn't get used to his robbery acted too much and captured his pulse door. Stepping forward to help, the people of the Emei faction were not to be outdone, and the melee broke out like this.

And after the yellowed old book flew a few feet in the air, it happened to be caught by Li Tieyi, the leader of the beggar gang.

He wanted to persuade the Bagua Sect and the Emei Sect to stop, but unexpectedly, people from the four major sects of the Tiejian Sect, the Kongtong Sect, the Xueshan Sect, and the Qingcheng Sect shamelessly rushed towards him. The disciple tried to stop him, but how could he stop so many people? Seeing this, Li Tieyi threw the hot potato into the air without hesitation, and hurried to rescue his apprentice Lu Xiaomi who was almost injured.

Shangqing Palace, Shaolin Temple, and Jinghong Mountain Villa did not join the melee, but tried to dissuade them from the sidelines, and even stopped them, but there were still a group of them, the chaos of the situation did not decrease at all, and some people had clear goals They were chasing after the cheats, but some people got into fights because of the anger aroused during the scramble.

Greed has made many people lose their minds. After all, this legend has been passed down for too long and is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. "Peerless martial arts", "Invincible in the world", and even "becoming immortal". The huge temptation that suddenly fell from the sky and suddenly fell in front of him, no one had time to stop and think about whether there was something strange about this matter.

It's okay if someone controls the situation from the beginning, but once someone takes the lead in robbing, there is only one thought left in these people's minds - they must not be preempted by others, otherwise they and their sect can only watch helplessly Watching others rise to the top, being trampled into the mud with resentment for missing a great opportunity.

Obviously, the matter could not be solved by gentle words and persuasion, but the three leading forces in the Tongmenghui had their own plans, and no one was willing to take the lead in using strong means to calm the situation.After all, considering the interests of the sect, it is best for them to be peacemakers who do not offend others, otherwise the one who stands out first will be hated and targeted by the major sects, and will become the one who is isolated from the three-legged leadership.

While they were hesitating, the fight had escalated rapidly. Whether the original intention was to fight for the cheats, or to protect fellow sects, or simply because of the anger caused by others, the fighting became more and more fierce, and the more angry the more people present, the more angry they became.

Faced with such chaos, Zhang Chi couldn't stay out of it. He shouted loudly to everyone: "Everyone! Listen to me, everyone, this cheat book can't be true! Don't grab it!"

But the other person spoke lightly, no one paid any attention to his words, but an elder of the Xueshan sect rushed past him in order to grab the cheat book, and the energy he brought made Zhang Chi, who was not very good at martial arts, staggered back for a while After a few steps, if Mu Liuyun hadn't supported him in time, he would have fallen into the underground river next to him.

Mu Liuyun frowned, and looked at the people in front of him who were red-eyed and inaction and only stayed in verbal persuasion. He felt a nameless anger rising from the bottom of his heart, and he suddenly yelled: "Stop it!" !!"

The sudden explosion reverberated in the cave, sending out layer after layer of echoes, which made many people's ears buzzing, but what really stopped everyone present was a sudden explosion from Mu Liuyun's body. Out of a strong murderous.

Instinctively alert to the crisis, the pores of these people in the arena exploded at the same time. Originally, they were still a little bit cautious in their strikes, and they didn't expect to really kill people, but this terrible murderous aura made them feel as if they were being killed. The wolf is like a rabbit, and it may die on the spot at any time.

All the people present, no matter how good their martial arts were or how bad their temper was, all stopped their hands at the same time, watching this man who suddenly exuded a strong murderous aura with vigilance.

And Qin Wuqi, who had been watching the development of the situation from the sidelines, suddenly made a lightning move and snatched the cheat book into his hands.

The author has something to say: I finally wrote about grabbing cheats↖(^ω^)↗

This should be a conspiracy full of flaws~ It's a pity that people are always easily driven by the emotions of the group, and all kinds of looting, stampede and playing happen like this~

Let’s all guess where the flaw is~ (Even if you guess right, there will be no reward~) (But maybe you will be thrown a red envelope)￥~~╰(゜ω゜╰)
