Chapter 44 Handprints

Behind the white marble gate is an invisible passage, and the dozens of torches held by everyone can't light the way ahead.The martial arts leader and the Eight Great Sect Leaders standing in the front can only carefully explore a section of the road until dozens of people can enter the position behind the Han Baiyu Gate.

"The corridor of the underground palace is the place with the most organs. We just explored all the way without incident. I'm afraid it will be more dangerous in a while." Su Tianyi frowned, "We have to find a way to find the way."

"Leader Su, why don't you just explore the way? I'm willing to help you." An elder who didn't know which faction came forward with a smile, as if he underestimated the mechanism in the underground palace, "I would like to meet the mechanism here, So that everyone can go in and get the martial arts order earlier."

"Don't be careless." Su Tian pondered for a while and then called two elders, thinking that the three of them could take care of each other if something bad happened.

All three of them held torches, and finally let people see clearly the short distance in front of the passage, but everyone couldn't see any danger, so they could only stare at the three of them as they walked forward unhurriedly.

Suddenly, Daoshan, who was walking in the front, soared into the air with a low shout, and everyone saw that the floor he was stepping on before sank, and the floor he stepped on behind was lifted.

The sunken floor formed a big hole that was as long as a person's arm, but Daoshan and the two elders' martial arts were not weak, and this kind of mechanism really couldn't cause any trouble.The three of them jumped over the pit and accelerated their speed towards the front.

Su Tianyi and the others stood in place and couldn't see what was going on in front of them. They could only hear a few low shouts and the sound of the floor lifting. The unfortunate screams, the three fire points that were getting farther and farther away were bobbing up and down, which really made people feel uneasy.

"Do you think they are reliable?" Luo Xingyun turned his head and asked Li Wanshu. He felt that the three elders had gone a long way, but this was too simple. If this is true, wouldn't it mean that there are people with martial arts in the world Can everyone come and have a look?

Li Wanshu frowned and shook his head, and said solemnly: "My intuition tells me... there is only a three-tenth chance of them coming back safely..."

Before the word 'three' was fully uttered, there was an abrupt shout from ahead: "Elder Liang!"

"Quick! Help me...ah!!" Elder Liang's cry for help suddenly changed, followed by the sound of the floor being turned and the sound of the torch falling.Before the people in the back could react, the exclamation of the other two elders in front came out one after another.

Everything happened between lightning and flint, only a piece of something collided together, followed by a dead silence, leaving only an unextinguished torch rolling on the ground until it slowly stopped, it was very strange, like an underground palace Laughing at the innocence of the three of them taking risks to explore the road is ridiculous.The people standing here by the side looked pale and pale, and were too frightened to speak.

"Leader Su, what, what do you think?!" The first elder was stunned for a while before waking up and said in surprise, even stuttering.

Those heads who considered themselves arrogant were also dumbfounded, staring at the flickering fire not far away.

In fact, Su Tianyi was even more shocked than them, but as the leader of the martial arts alliance at this time, he must show his ability, whether it is force or leadership, so he put on a straight face: "Everyone, calm down! I have already warned about the danger, and it is a pity that the three elders sacrificed so much! But half of the reason is because they underestimated the mechanism here!"

As soon as these words came out, many people secretly agreed in their hearts that normal people would definitely not want to be the first bird at a time when the danger was too dangerous.Just now that elder volunteered himself with a confident face, obviously he wanted to show off in front of the head of the sect.

But now his head is indeed in the limelight, his face is paler than others, but this is the idiot of his own sect rushing to die, and he can't vent his dissatisfaction to anyone!

"Next, I hope that the eight masters can go with me to find out. When I get to the front position, pay attention to whether there are any bodies of the three elders around." Su Tianyi said in a low voice. It is irrefutable toughness.

The eight heads originally thought that it would be difficult to gain anything this time, but they felt a little more confident when they heard that so many people went together.May I ask, is there anyone here who doesn't want to fish in troubled waters and get the treasure?But this trip is very dangerous, and it is still a matter of whether you can come out alive if you go in.

Just as the eight old guys were hesitating, the disciple who was close to the Han Baiyu Gate suddenly called out.

"Master! It's not good! The door is closed!"

When everyone looked back, they saw that the white jade gate had been closed at some point, without leaving a single gap, completely trapping them.

"Forget it! The door is closed and everyone staying here is not an option. Since we can't get out, let's break in!" The head of the Rongcang faction didn't intend to give up, just now this guy was worried that the other seven people would be timid. What to do, this time, the door closed just as he wanted!

The seven masters could only grit their teeth and nod, but just as they were about to go to explore the way, Li Wanshu suddenly rushed to their side, waving his broken bone fan and laughing: "Ah Yun and I will also go together. "

Su Tianyi was obviously surprised, but he didn't say anything to stop him, he just said: "The road ahead is dangerous, I can't protect you two, if you really want to go with us, you have to protect yourself."

The head of the Rongcang faction curled his lips: "Don't be too brash, the yellow-haired boy, don't think that if you guess the trick correctly, you will be able to raise your tail to the sky."

Faced with the old man's cynicism and sarcasm Li Wanshu just smiled and let the former feel uncomfortable alone, Luo Xingyun frowned and wondered why this fake scholar wanted to fight for the position of the second head, but seeing that this guy was so sure, he hugged Followed with doubts.

Li Wanshu seemed to be able to see what Luo Xingyun was thinking, so he poked his head over and said, "Don't worry, there are eight old men testing the waters ahead, and we are only wronged by three."

The corner of Luo Xingyun's mouth twitched, expressing that he couldn't see the difference between the second wronged head and the third wronged head.

So this powerful team slowly took steps under the watchful eyes of a group of people behind them, and approached the tiny fire not far away.

Holding the torch, Luo Xingyun stared at the surroundings intently, it's no joke in this place, if he is not careful, he will die, he hasn't arrived in half of his life, he doesn't want to stay here to be buried with the emperor.

"Crack!" Su Tian stepped off the floor and suddenly sank, he jumped up immediately, telling others to be careful while dodging the trap, and the poet following behind also dodged the trap relatively easily.In this way, everyone can understand that this is just a thin layer of ten pieces fixed by a thick wood underneath to keep it balanced. in the pit below.

They looked at the pit below, which was the kind of iron spikes with the thickness of human thighs. When people fell, they would directly become human meat skewers. Of course, this kind of mechanism can be avoided as long as they have some martial arts.

However, Su Tian and the others were even more nervous because it was relatively easy. There must be something more powerful ahead that made the three elders understand. Ignorance is the most terrifying thing.

Su Tian looked at the distance between himself and the torch, stopped and let everyone rest where they were, and turned around to bring those who were still crowded at the door.After looking left and right, Li Wanshu walked to the front of the line and stared thoughtfully at the fire not far away.

Luo Xingyun walked to his side: "What are you doing?"

"I'm guessing how those three people died."

Luo Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, and smelled a rather strong smell of blood in the air: "I don't think they must have had an accident because of those big pits. Such a large amount of bleeding must have been stabbed by something."

"Oh? What is that?"

"How do I know, it probably came out from the wall or above the head, and caught them off guard." Luo Xingyun made a random guess.

Unexpectedly, Li Wanshu suddenly laughed a few times, turned his head and gave Luo Xingyun a strange look: "Then... I will trust you."

After speaking, he grabbed the torch and swiped forward. The speed was so fast that the people around didn't even react.

Luo Xingyun's eyes widened and he subconsciously reached out to grab that person, but in the end he took a full step, and his fingertips only touched the sleeve of the person: "Li Wanshu!"

Everyone saw that Li Wanshu jumped to the position where the three elders were suffering, and the torch in his hand illuminated the place.The three elders were all lying on the side of the aisle in different postures, and there were several blood holes the size of fists on their bodies. The blood pooled together almost formed a red carpet, which was very frightening.

"Crack!" People with keener ears heard the subtle sound of mechanism activities. Luo Xingyun's face changed, and he saw a large piece of bamboo net that could cover the entire passage appeared in front of and behind Li Wanshu's position.This thing swayed down from the passage, and the two approached the person standing in the middle one after the other. The bamboo net was full of bamboo thorns the size of a bowl, and it was covered with fresh blood.

Looking at Li Wanshu in this way, there is no way for him to escape. Sutian didn't know what was going on when he ran far away, but when he turned his head and saw a spot of light and heard Luo Xingyun's cry, his face suddenly turned pale , Leaving this group of people behind, hurried back.

"Wow!" In fact, Li Wanshu saw it very accurately. He jumped up and cut the thick hemp rope holding a bamboo net. It's just a matter of effort.At the same time there was a gust of wind coming from behind, he turned his head and saw Luo Xingyun darting over behind the bamboo net holding a sword and frowning.

Immediately afterwards, the bamboo net not only broke the rope, but also split the net surface in two, scattered on the ground and hit the ground with a loud sound.

Luo Xingyun pursed his lips, his expression seemed to be very displeased, but at this moment he just felt the lower limit of the floor under his feet and subconsciously jumped up.At the side Li Wanshu's originally narrow face gradually became thicker, but with a sudden kick, he rushed over and stretched out his hand to pull down Luo Xingyun who was in the middle of the sky.

A two-finger-thick feather arrow flew past Luo Xingyun's neck, and if there was any hair on the skin there, it might have stood up right now.Luo Xingyun's heart trembled slightly, although he should be able to dodge the arrow just now, but he would not be unscathed, because the arrow was aimed at the throat of a person!Those who can jump so high must be those who know martial arts, and this mechanism is aimed at those who practice martial arts.

Luo Xingyun was still depressed, Li Wanshu had already stopped the person who hadn't reached the ground, and quietly changed his claws around the opponent's waist and whispered: "Is Ah Yun injured?"

The two of them stuck together by chance, and their posture was even more ambiguous.Luo Xingyun calmed down, and said coldly: "Do you think you have a long life? So that's how you treat your wronged three heads?"

"Didn't Ayun come to save me?" Li Wanshu laughed so hard that the thief held his hand with his other hand, "But I came here because I was sure, and I really listened to the cry just now. Turbulent, almost turned his head away."

Luo Xingyun twitched his face and pushed the guy away before Su Tianyi came over, knocking off the restless claws hanging on his waist, then sneered a few times in silence, the grasped hand also wanted to break free from the bondage open.

Li Wanshu, a shameless person, was lamenting the pity that his thin waist slipped away in his hand, when he heard the leader Su yelling loudly, and the voice was getting closer and closer: "Li Shaoxia! Luo Shaoxia! How are you all?" ?!"

"We're fine!" Li Wanshu replied while holding Luo Xingyun's hand tightly.

Luo Xingyun rolled his eyes at Li Wanshu, and stopped struggling, but changed his backhand to forcefully hold the opponent's palm, the bones of both hands trembled slightly, it just depends on who hurts more!

Li Wanshu was still smiling, and he strengthened his hand.So under the cover of long sleeves, the two clasped their hands tightly and competed, not knowing that they thought they were close friends.

As soon as Su Tian grabbed the torch and walked a few steps, he was relieved to see that the two people next to each other were indeed safe, and secretly complained about his young master's restlessness, and still said: "Li Shaoxia, what happened just now? What's up?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the junior thought of some possible mechanisms and couldn't wait to come over and have a try." Li Wanshu replied gently, with a trace of apology in his words, "I'm worried about you, the boss."

All the people came here under the leadership of the head and elders. This place was destroyed by Luo Xingyun and the others, and it became the safest place in this passage.The three elders who died heroically were helped and put aside, the disciples who came over just now rested in place, and the pathfinders continued to explore.

Luo Xingyun and Li Wanshu were standing in a corner because many elite disciples from the eight major sects were about the same age as the two, and seeing their martial arts skills, they all came over to chat with them about the affairs of the world, which was quite a bit The meaning of friendship.

What Li Wanshu is best at is this kind of communication where you tell me what you say, and I tell you what you say. At the moment, he quickly blended into the atmosphere of gossip and gossip, while Luo Xingyun has an indifferent face and a trace of The murderous temperament can be heard a lot just by standing aside.

Just now the bamboo net seems to be the most dangerous section of this passage, the next road is only the same small trap as before, generally speaking, there is nothing to fear, so the pathfinders quickly reached the end of the passage.

However, when more than a dozen torches approached the gate at the end of the passage, everyone felt shocked, and only then did they feel a little bit like entering the underground palace.This is a bronze door, about five people's hand width, five people's height, to see its top you have to look up.

The carvings on the door are neither dragons nor winds, but two monsters with blue faces and long fangs, squatting on one side and the other on the right, with two pairs of cold eyes looking down, and standing at this place, they are almost as big as the two giants on the door. Eyes narrowed.

"Hmph, a generation of emperors actually depend on this monster to protect them after death." Rong Cang was afraid that the head of the faction would not know what offended him, so he sneered at the door of the family.

Luo Xingyun also felt that this was a kind of indescribable weirdness, and now he looked back and forth, but he saw a strange handprint on the bronze door with sharp eyes.

"What's wrong?" Li Wanshu quickly found that Luo Xingyun's expression was wrong and asked.

Luo Xingyun frowned, and pointed at the foot of a monster on the bronze door: "There is a bloody handprint over there." Everyone was attracted by what he said, so they focused their attention on the handprint.

The handprint is black, and it can be seen from a glance that it is a man's hand, which is under the monster's feet, and there are some traces of being dragged down.

Li Wanshu took a closer look, stretched out his hand to scrape again, and squeezed a little black powder on his finger to smell it, and then his face changed: "This is blood."

"...dried blood handprints?" Su Tianyi was also surprised.Judging by the way the handprint dried until it turned black, one knew that it must not have been left by someone sent by the emperor.

"So, someone has been to the imperial mausoleum long ago?!" The faces of the several sect leaders were not very good-looking, "Has the martial arts order been taken away?!"

"You can't say that, after all, we can't judge when the bloody handprint was left." Su Tian said in a deep voice, thinking in his heart that this group of people should not be allowed to go home!

Luo Xingyun walked up to the bloody handprint, and then forgot to look at the lighted passage behind him, and suddenly asked: "Didn't you realize that the wave of people from the emperor didn't seem to pass by here? But there are only footprints going inside under the white jade gate, but when they arrived There are no footprints here anymore, if they are all carried on the organ, then how did this handprint come from?"

The people present were horrified when they heard it.
