where to go home

? Yi Yao held the map in his hand tightly all the way, feeling more and more nervous - because this secret passage was really different from what they had imagined before.This road is not in the water, but under the water. Thousands of years ago, it should have been a part of the depression of Mingdao Mountain. Now the top has become Maple Leaf Lake, and this part of the rocks is hidden.I don't know who discovered it, so they dug this tunnel from the island to the inside of Mingdao Mountain.Presumably it was for safety reasons or because the stone of Mingdao Mountain was hard and the secret passage space that could be opened was very narrow. Yi Yao and Pei Yan could pass through smoothly, and taller people like Lin Lie and Ye Zhong had to walk with their heads down.Everyone took out the fire pocket from their pockets and lit it, only to find that there was nothing on the surrounding walls except the dark stone bricks.

"Here... it's kind of scary..." Pei Yan mumbled something in a low voice, but unexpectedly, there were waves of echoes coming from the passage, scaring him to shut up quickly.

Everyone sneaked carefully step by step, and Yi Yao looked at the marks on the map with the torch that Lin Lie stretched out.

"Many of the organs here are quite similar to those used in the tombs of princes in the pre-Qin period. Maybe this place was not made by himself." After dodging a shower of arrows lightly, Lin Lie announced to Yi Yao who carefully placed the "Five Elements Formation" on the ground opinion.

"That's right, if he really did it, it's impossible for such a large project to go undiscovered by the government for many years." Yi Yao replied without raising his head.Hearing the strange echo in his ear, Pei Yan couldn't help asking, "Sister Yi Yao, how far is it?"

"Hurry up, there are still the last ten feet, everyone be careful..."

"who?!"

As soon as Yi Yao finished speaking, Ye Zhong, who was walking at the end, heard the sound of "Kaka" from a distance, turned around and asked, and everyone was so surprised that they quickly set up their positions.But after waiting for a long time without making a sound, Ye Zhong scratched his head in embarrassment, thinking he had heard wrong.

"Yi Yao, turn on the switch first and go forward, I will pay attention behind you." Lin Lie reminded, but still stared at the back.He believed that Ye Zhong would not mishear for no reason, so he had to be on guard no matter what.

At the same time, the last iron door was opened—this was the last lock in the secret passage.The information on the map shows that as long as you defeat the two guards here, and then walk up two stone stairs, you can come to Mohua's front hall.

So at the moment when the stone gate slowly opened, Yi Yao and Lin Lie drew out their daggers and flashed out one after the other, swinging their knives at the fastest speed to the left and right respectively... But they didn't expect that the knives just split the air and didn't splash out. blood, and no dying growls.

The guard in front of the iron gate has disappeared!

"What, what's going on..." Yi Yao was really surprised, she looked around, the space here was much bigger, there were a few oil lamps on the wall, and there was a low table on the stone brick on the right— — just no one.

"Do you think... our journey is a bit too smooth..." Pei Yan asked in a low voice, seeing the three of them turn their gazes to him instantly, swallowed in embarrassment.

Lin Lie walked to the table and picked up the teacup on the low table.Feeling the faint tea fragrance coming from the cup and the warm touch in his hand, he frowned.

"The tea is still warm, but there is no one around here, so..."

Yi Yao looked at him and nodded, "There is only one way to go."

Everyone looked at the icy stone ladder and stepped forward.

lobby.

This place used to be a prostitute who had been operating for many years. The spaciousness of the front hall was completely different from the narrowness of the tunnel.A huge lantern was hung on the beam of the house. The center of the lantern stretched ribbons of different colors to the surroundings. The surrounding walls were no longer pure stone bricks, but a thin layer of gold, even the inside of the room. They all look much brighter.The same is true of the walls, not to mention the gold, silver, jade and rare treasures placed on the sandalwood cabinets.

The room is spacious and luxurious, not inferior to the imperial palace in the slightest.

But, after all, there is no window, and there will never be light.

"This is the list for this month. Each group is different. Don't leave anyone alive." On the soft couch in the front hall lay a middle-aged man with a high nose and long eyes, a pale complexion in expensive clothes, and a weak voice— - He seemed to have an injury on his waist, wrapped in layer after layer of bandages, and could only get up a little by leaning on the pillow at hand.

"Xia Wu, let's distribute these lists." He wanted to hand the paper in his hand to a young man in black standing at the front of the seventh team, but the man in black didn't move.

"Xia Wu!" the man scolded, a little annoyed at the rudeness of the man in black, and also ignored the soft closing sound of the door.

"Are you calling me? The master of the left door." The person called Xia Wu said with a smile.His smile always makes people feel like a spring breeze, but in Ren Zidao's eyes, it is like the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month.

He had seen this smile before.

On that day, there was also a person who, although not with this face, smiled like this, cut off Xia Zhongyan's head with a single knife, and still cut himself and kicked his ribs under the siege of many guards, and finally He was able to escape completely.

The young man enjoyed watching the colorful expression of the person in front of him, and then slowly tore off the human/leather mask on his face in the shock of Ren Zidao...

"Zhong, Zhongling!!! Come here, take this traitor down for me--!!!" Ren Zidao shouted loudly, and fell off the soft couch in a panic, and there was a sharp pain from the knife wound on his abdomen. The pain made him squint his eyes and break out in cold sweat.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, many people who were listening to the orders below drew their weapons and wanted to besiege Zhong Ling, but unexpectedly, more than a dozen killers surrounding him suddenly jumped up and attacked those who wanted to be saved.

A cold light flashed, and the knife was out of its sheath.

Zhong Ling raised his foot and stomped on Ren Zidao's waist, the sound of weapons colliding came from behind, and the wailing of the left sect master came from under his feet.

"Xia... What about Xia Wu...you killed him!"

He bent down to look at Ren Zidao's face distorted by pain, and spoke lightly.

"The second son of the Xia family? Of course I will kill him. I will not let anyone in the Xia family go. Otherwise, where can I find this good man/leather mask?" Zhong Ling weighed the mask in his hand , and threw it away again, "The face of the deity is the best mask."

Seeing the fear in Ren Zidao's eyes, Zhong Ling twitched his lips, "Of course, you will see your faithful servant soon. Don't worry, the left door master, I will act quickly. I guarantee that you will not feel any pain. I went to the west to talk with the Buddha about the past and the present."

"It's him...he asked you to come... Heh, in order to monopolize Mohua, even the brothers from back then will not be spared!" With the blade resting on his neck, Ren Zidao spoke tremblingly.

Zhong Lingwen was silent, he knelt down slowly, looked at his dying face and said in a low voice:

"If the crime is serious, everyone can punish it."

A knife to seal the throat.

As Zhong Ling himself said, Ren Zidao has no physical pain, but in his life, perhaps since he received the silver dart that Zhong Ling nailed to the bedpost eight years ago, he was destined to be played by that person in the applause, so that Pain for life.

Hearing the sound of the clash of weapons behind him gradually weakening, Zhong Ling got up and shook the blood off the knife.Zhan Xiao put his sword back into its sheath, came to the side of Zhong Ling, bowed his head and cupped his fists, respectfully said: "Master Zhong Duo, the left door has been completely wiped out."

"Well, leave a few people to pour oil and set fire, and we will withdraw."

Just as Zhong Ling was about to turn around, he felt a gust of wind and chill the moment he turned his head. In a hurry, he rolled over on his side, and when he landed, he unexpectedly saw several people hidden in the darkness. One of them was a familiar figure facing him Holding the thousand machine crossbow, the silver mask on his face is the same as before.

"Hmph, it's finally here..." Zhong Ling, who hadn't recovered from his astonishment, heard Zhan Xiao whispering beside him, and growled, "What do you mean?"

"Master Zhong Rudder, you can retreat first, it is best not to intervene, these people are the 'prey' handpicked by the right door master." Zhan Xiao was still respectful.

"'Prey'? What 'prey'! Our plan does not include this! Now I order everyone to retreat immediately!" Zhong Ling growled eagerly and furiously, which surprised Zhan Xiao. He said in a deep voice: "Master Zhong, please Retreat immediately, we must eradicate all intruders according to the order of the sect master... Please don't let the sect master doubt your loyalty!" After finishing speaking, Zhan Xiao ignored him, turned around and gave the order to "destroy the prey", leaving nothing behind. Zhong Ling's eyes were wide open alone, his feet were stiff as if they had been nailed into place.

When the light sword is unsheathed, the long rainbow pierces the sun and straightens the body; the judge kills, and the heaven and the earth return to the jade;

Nearly half of Zhan Xiao's 20 people are Mohua's masters. Even when they are facing Tangjiabao, Cangjian Villa and Wanhua Valley, they have no qualms about ruthless moves.

"Senior brother Lin, your elder brother... His condition doesn't seem to be right..." Yi Yao used the thousand machine crossbow to cut open, and while he was not spared the poisoned dagger hidden in his sleeve, he stabbed the man in the abdomen. Kicked him away, ran to Lin Lie and said to him.

"...I'll go and have a look." Lin Lie poured his true energy into the Thousand Chance Crossbow, and shot three life-chasing arrows at the oncoming killer, knocking him back, nailing him to the wall and immobilizing him. Run to Zhong Ling.

"This is... Ren Zidao? Did you kill Ren Zidao?" Seeing the corpse on the ground and the wet blood on Zhong Ling's knife, Lin Lie immediately raised the Thousand Machine Crossbow, his eyes full of defense, "Zhong Ling, I said, I will never show mercy when we meet again."

Zhong Ling looked at him with complicated eyes, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.He knew that Lin Lie might never trust him again, seeing that Zhan Xiao was fighting with Yi Yao and had no time to take care of himself, Zhong Ling immediately stepped forward to support Lin Lie's Qianji Crossbow.Lin Lie thought that he was going to make a move and was about to back away, but was surprised to see his elder brother pressing the thousand machine crossbow to his chest, and said softly to him:

"The hidden door in the back bedroom! Go!"

hurry up...

At least you have to live...

I have persisted until now... just to keep you alive!

Lin Lie was startled, he didn't expect Zhong Ling to threaten his life just to tell him where the exit was.He never believed that his elder brother would really walk on that path that he hated, and now that his conjecture was confirmed, he was not happy at all - because the current situation is no longer a way to walk whenever he wants , If you want to escape, it is time to escape.

"Hurry up!!" Seeing that Lin Lie was indifferent, Zhong Ling immediately widened his eyes and couldn't help but growl in a low voice.

"Brother, let's go together..." Lin Lie pulled out the thousand machine crossbow suddenly, turned his head to aim at Zhan Xiao, and replied softly: "You don't want to die for me again!" After speaking, he shot at Zhan Xiao After firing the soul-destroying arrow, Zhong Ling was left staring at the dark red blade soaked in blood, without saying a word for a long time.

Zhan Xiao has been the guard of the master of the right door for many years, and his skills are extremely high, and his shooting speed is also extremely fast.He first pierced Pei Yan, who couldn't dodge in time, with a sprint speed, and then immediately took a "Yingfeng" and jumped in front of Yi Yao, and swept towards her lower body with a low body.Yi Yao quickly jumped up, sweeping his legs across the top of Zhan Xiao's head, but after dozens of rounds, Yi Yao could only dodge frequently.At this time, Ye Zhong and Pei Yan were injured, and more than half of Mo Hua's men were killed or injured. Lin Lie's soul-destroying arrow successfully helped Yi Yao attract the firepower and joined the battle with Zhan Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Xiao suddenly avoided the two people and retreated to the door with the others, and then a few people ran up the stone ladder, holding bows and arrows and kerosene in their hands, fully armed—it seems that Ye Zhong heard correctly, Someone was indeed following them and waiting for an opportunity.

"Ignite!" Zhan Xiao ordered, several archers looked at each other, and one boldly asked hesitantly: "Guard Zhan, this bell rudder..."

"The master of the right sect has orders! Mohua's traitor Zhong Ling, kill without mercy!" Facts have proved that Zhong Ling's actions just now did not escape Zhan Xiao's eyes.With his loud words, not only Zhong Ling, but also Lin Lie and Yi Yao were startled, while Mohua's archers didn't hesitate anymore, they all drew their bows and shot the flames into the room, and instantly the room was full of flames. It was thick smoke billowing, choking people out of breath.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, follow me!" Zhong Ling hurriedly led people to run to the bedroom in the back room.Seeing that they wanted to leave, Zhan Xiao snatched the weapon from the archer beside him, raised his bow and shot at Yi Yao, who was also the closest to Pei Yan and retreated without hesitation.

From the fight just now, he already felt that this woman was the leader of the entire team, as the saying goes, "To catch the thief, first to catch the king".So this arrow screamed with true energy, and quickly aimed at Yi Yao's back.As soon as the arrow came out, it immediately dispersed the thicker and thicker smoke. Yi Yao focused on protecting Pei Yan, who had a badly injured leg. When he heard the sound of piercing the sky behind him, it was too late to turn his head.

Yi Yao knew that the danger was coming, she closed her eyes tightly and waited for the arrow that pierced her heart - at the same time, she was also very glad that he was not aiming at Lin Lie...

But the arrow didn't go through her heart.

Yi Yao opened his eyes in a daze, there was no arrow protruding from his chest, and there was no gushing blood...

As if feeling something, she suddenly turned her head and saw Lin Lie's broad back reflected in front of her eyes—the Tangmen battle suit that was as dark blue as her own reflected in the firelight, but one place was dyed black, and there was an extra A cold arrowhead, with blood continuously flowing around it.

It was Zhan Xiao who fell to the ground who was taken away by an arrow.

When everyone in Mohua saw the arrow hit by Zhan Xiao, they were a little flustered, and seeing that the smoke was getting bigger and bigger, they hurriedly carried Zhan Xiao on their backs and retreated from the secret passage.

"Lin, Lin Lie... Lie!!"

Yi Yao's voice, which was raised due to emotion, trembled uncontrollably. Zhong Ling, who rushed over after hearing the sound, saw the flying feather arrow inserted three inches deep under Lin Lie's right chest at a glance.

"Zhan Xiao, you bastard!!" Zhong Ling cursed like crazy.Yi Yao held onto Zhong Ling, and seeing that Lin Lie's eyes began to lose sight, he quickly broke off the arrow body that was still outside, tapped an acupuncture point to stop the bleeding, and carefully placed him on Zhong Ling's back.

"Brother Zhong, there are people from us at the secret door, but we haven't seen them after the appointed time. I'm afraid there may be an ambush outside. But the situation is urgent, so I have to give it a try..."

"I know, it shouldn't be too late." Zhong Ling carried Lin Lie on his back and walked towards the secret door, Yi Yao and Ye Zhong broke up.

"Xiaoyao...don't blame me...don't want...to lose again..." Zhong Ling's eyes moistened when he heard Lin Lie's unconscious murmur.

Ah Lie, you never lost us.

But now, you want us to lose you...

After a while, Yi Yao rushed out of the exit first.

It was just the first time I was stunned by everything in front of me.If there was one word to describe what he saw, it would be - desolation.

There was no sound of fighting, but the corpses all over the ground seemed to reflect the fierce battle just now.In the middle of the corpse was a young man standing with a sword in his hand. His hair was no longer standing up high, and even the loose hair band was stained with blood like the heavy sword in his hand.The bitter mountain wind blew, and the young man felt the movement, and slowly raised his head—the murderous look in his eyes hadn't receded, and the blood at the corners of his mouth hadn't been wiped dry.Different from Rakshasa-like eyes, Ye Junyue saw Yi Yao, and cried helplessly:

"Save Brother Qin...save Yuyun...otherwise..."

"They will die!!!"?
