Ancient Sword II Xie Lelianxin

The young man hid in the altar in the corner, leaned his back against the stone wall, and watched the guards of Liuyue City pass by the gate of the side hall through the cloth.The banners covered his figure, but the tassels that should have been hanging down to the ground were missing, and tremblingly swept back and forth over the toes of his shoes.He slowed down his breathing and retracted his feet again. He felt that the injury on his left ankle did not hinder his movement, and he was slightly relieved.

An hour ago, he, Wen Renyu, and Anival slid down the sandy slope facing the arrows. Anival was hit by two arrows in his arm, but still protected the boys and girls behind him.The three finally landed on the ground, but Le Wuyi was suddenly injured by a sharp knife in the sand.

The guards of Liuyue City quickly surrounded him, and the killing sound shook the sky for a while, the cold knife pierced into the flesh, and the warm blood sprayed on the face.No one knew who pushed him behind a cut-off wall, and when he regained his senses, he realized that the pursuers had been led away by Anival and the others, so he climbed up the window lattice and turned into the corridor, dodging and hiding in a side hall.

A few symbols are engraved on the base of the mottled wall, like the common codes in Baicao Valley.Le Wuyi thought, he should be the first person to enter the apse, how could someone from Baicaogu rush to engrave the code in front of him.He didn't understand the meaning of the sign, and the butterfly leading the way didn't know where he went, and was trapped for a while.

The heart seemed to jump out of the throat, sweat dripped from the corners of the brows, and crawled across the cheeks like worms.

Tom, Tom, Tom.

The figure against the light dragged his steps closer, Le Wuyi held his breath, and calmly touched Zhaoming at his waist, only to feel that the hilt of the sword was colder than the stone wall behind him.Zhaoming is sharp and sharp, he can seal his throat once he is out of the scabbard, but he hopes that that person will not come closer - even if it is a soldier of Liuyue City, he is his enemy, unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not want to hurt anyone.

The figure stopped one step away.Le Wuyi waited for a long time without any movement, but the man opened his mouth first: "This is not Tiangang boots...you are not from Baicaogu, so you are... Le Wuyi?"

The man's voice is hoarse, but his pronunciation is correct, obviously he is not from Liuyue City.Le Wuyi couldn't help but lift the banner, saw the man carrying something and asked himself: "Do you recognize this thing?"

"Sachet?!" Le Wuyi looked at the bearded strange man in surprise, "Why do you have a sachet from my master? Do you know my master?" His thoughts turned quickly, and he quickly understood, "You It must be Wenren's master! The sign in the corner was drawn by you...Senior Cheng, have you seen Wenren?"

Cheng Tingjun shook his beard a few times during his series of questions, and a gentle smile appeared on his stiff face: "Don't worry, baby, I promised him that I will take good care of you." Seeing Le Wuyi is still hesitating , and comforted him, "Xiaoyu knows the sign, so she will find her way to the main hall. There are many people here, and there is room for people on the beam. You climb up and follow me... Your master is waiting for you in the main hall and asks you to help he."

Le Wuyi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.He still doesn't know why Cheng Tingjun can come and go freely, and how Xie Yi made arrangements, his mind is blank, but the blood in his body can't help but boil——

Xie Yi needs him.

That's enough.

The beams connected vertically and horizontally were often cleaned, and when they climbed over, no dust fell and disturbed the guards below.Le Wuyi sighed secretly for Cheng Tingjun's careful preparation, walking between the rafters with his waist bent.This ancient temple is a mixture of Buddhism and Taoism, and its layout is very different from that of the Buddhist temples in the Central Plains. The large and small shrines are hidden deep in the winding corridors. If there is no one to guide the way, it may be difficult to avoid strict patrols, let alone find the underground palace where the Gu King is hidden. Entrance.

Le Wuyi was concerned about the safety of Wen Renyu, Anival and others, and couldn't help but turn around when there was a sound.The banners hanging high in the sky blocked his sight, and he could only listen to the shrill shouts of killing with his ears upright. Cheng Tingjun had already walked a few feet away in a daze.The silent man passed by teams of Liuyue City guards, walking stiffly and slowly, no different from a puppet being held by the hands and feet.

Le Wuyi gritted his teeth and followed him lightly.

The huge hexagonal stone bricks lie in the center of the main hall, resembling a budding lotus flower. The fine carvings have been stepped on by countless people, and the lines have been worn a little blurry.Le Wuyi climbed up the slant above the "Lotus" along the beams of the house. Thinking of the time when he came here when he was a child, he was in a trance for a moment.

It is here.

Cheng Tingjun stopped outside the hall, Le Wuyi squinted his eyes to look at the man hidden in the shadows, even though the mask was covering his face, he could still recognize it as Xie Yi at a glance.The naturally raised lips became bloodless, and the tight jaw made him feel a little strange. He couldn't help burning his eye sockets, and stared at it for a long time before forcing himself to look away.

There is another person standing in the hall.The man in black turned his back to Le Wuyi, with golden leaf patterns embroidered on his cuffs hanging down to the ground—it was Shen Ye.

Le Wuyi leaned on the beam and looked down at his head, unable to tell what it was like for a moment.

The pupils of the god statue beside him are half closed, and most of the gold and paint have peeled off, but the compassion in the eyes is still clear... Le Wuyi thought, if it really has divine consciousness, then no matter whether it is itself, the master, or the noble high priest below In the eyes of the gods, the people of Li Dynasty, Li Dynasty and Lieshan are nothing more than ordinary beings.

He had seen a portrait of Shennong at home when he was a child, but it was not until he was escorted to Wuyanjialan that he saw the real statue for the first time.Donating poison and Lie Shan both believed in Shennong, but the gods built by the former were destroyed by the latter. The innocent place of worship was turned into a terrifying death cage, and the clean lotus covered the gate of the underworld where ghosts were crying. The god statue silently endured the struggle and curse of countless poison donors before death, silently watching countless ghost butterflies break out of cocoons from the cold corpses, fly thousands of miles from all over the Central Plains, and bring new life to the sick Lieshan people.

Some people have long forgotten it, while others still remember it—all living beings are suffering, and they still hope that they will not do any evil.

The wound on the left ankle burst open silently, and blood dripped down the beam and seeped into the groove of the "Lotus" stone edge.Le Wuyi didn't notice the gradual change in the shape of the "petal", but just watched Xie Yi approach Shen Ye without blinking.

"The Gu King has been agitated recently, and just now he knocked down the earth wall again... Do you want to go to the underground palace to check immediately?"

Shen Ye didn't answer, as if he was listening to the movement in the ground, he said in a deep voice after a while: "No need. If the underground palace is opened and Tiangang invades, it will only be worth the loss..."

Before the words fell, there was a loud impact in the hall, followed by the creaking sound of stone slabs crushing each other.The huge stone brick in the center of the hall rotates slowly, and the originally closed "flower heart" gradually reveals a small half of the dark hole, just like a half-opened lotus flower.

Le Wuyi soon discovered that the blood in the organ's stone trough was his own, and couldn't help being stunned—according to medical records, after an adult Gu king chooses one person to sign a blood contract, others cannot approach rashly, otherwise they will be caught by the vigilant and tyrannical Gu. King killed.Le Wuyi thought to himself that he had nothing to do with Gu King, and couldn't figure out why he could open the underground palace with his own blood.

It's just that the current situation cannot be considered carefully, he endured the pain in his feet and jumped over a few beams to hide his figure, a purple light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he saw the ghost butterfly that disappeared halfway past Shen Ye and flew straight towards him.

Oops!

Shen Ye's eyes followed, and Le Wuyi hid behind a pillar holding his breath, and saw Xie Yi's shadow swaying behind Shen Ye, his heart moved, and he poked his head out again, deliberately waving at Shen Ye, showing a disgusting look. With a flamboyant smile: "Hey, Grand Master, I'm here..."

A long whip full of murderous intent and anger came whistling.Le Wuyi lifted his breath and hopped away with one foot, dexterously propped up and turned on the flat beam, and a kite turned over and landed on another flat beam.The whip swept across the place where he had stood before, and the barb of the tail of the whip scratched a deep scratch in the solid wooden beam.

Le Wuyi took a deep breath and felt the wound on his foot hurt even more. Luckily, he had planned his escape route before provoking the high priest, otherwise he would be caught off guard, and his skin would be slightly bruised...

This was the first time he confronted Shen Ye head-on, and he was almost hit in one round. He couldn't help sweating, but his fighting spirit became more and more intense.He was determined to draw Shen Ye's attention and buy time for Xie Yi.

Xie Yi took the opportunity to flash to the side of the "Lotus" that was still closed, cut his wrist and pressed the mechanism.Le Wuyi exhaled, twisted his waist and jumped to another beam, but his movements were slowed down by his foot injury.Shen Ye's second whip came even faster, so Le Wuyi had no choice but to let go halfway, and with the help of the falling force a monkey fished for the moon, barely embracing a corner post, but the back was still swept by the force.Grinning his teeth, he crawled hard towards the corner of the roof, but Shen Ye suddenly withdrew his hands, and suddenly turned to look at Xie Yi.

Xie Yi's blood injected into the stone trough quickly spread along the slender veins of the "petals", and the "lotus flower" was completely awakened, stretching like a living thing, and the roar of the ground was like a giant beast roaring and hammering, attracting heaven and earth Discoloration.

Le Wuyi understood that once the blood on both sides of the "Lotus" converged in the center, the entrance to the underground palace would be completely open.

"Let me make a guess." Shen Ye looked at Xie Yi who was still standing by the stone platform and turned on the mechanism, and instead of being angry, he smiled, "You broke the restriction that Tongxin Gu had placed on you, and you used the power of the butterfly to reject others." Try to break free from the manipulation of the string-connecting Gu. Have you ever thought about what will happen to the host once the heart-linking Gu is out of control... Xie Yi, Xie Yi, if it wasn't for Cang Ming being unable to bear the heart-linking Gu, Zhan Xiaoyu would have Will kill you, no matter in the past or in the future, you really... will only betray." He closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly turned his wrist, swiped his whip at Xie Yi, "The underground palace will close when it opens, Baicaogu people It must be too late to go with you... Heh, even if you add that kid, what can you do to the Gu King?"

"Master, be careful!"

Le Wuyi grabbed a banner, kicked off and swung towards Xie Yi.Shen Ye's whip was as fast as lightning. Seeing that the sharp blade of the whip was about to hook Xie Yi's neck, at the very moment, a person rushed out from the side stab, and pushed Xie Yi towards the entrance of the underground palace that was half open, and he was alive. Received that whip.

It was Cheng Tingjun who was hiding in the corner before.

The barb of the whip tail tore the man's back, and a large amount of blood splashed on the stone bricks.Cheng Tingjun was thrown a few feet away, and a horrific trail of blood trailed behind him. Le Wuyi, who was in mid-air, was so anxious that he almost tore the cloth in his hand. Suddenly, he heard a mournful cry from a distance, like Wen Renyu's voice.

Cheng Tingjun opened his eyes as if feeling something, moved his lips silently a few times, but said to Le Wuyi——

jump!

The "Lotus" bloomed to its peak and then declined. The next moment, the entrance of the underground palace began to close.

"Oh, Le Wuyi, I can spare your life."

Le Wuyi shook off his messy hair, lowered his head to meet Shen Ye's gloomy gaze, and saw him raise his hand again—the warning couldn't be more obvious, if he dared to jump off, he would definitely kill him.

"No difference!" He faintly heard the man calling.

So Le Wuyi let go of his hand.

The flashing sharp blade instantly rolled towards the chest and abdomen, Le Wuyi's pupils shrank suddenly, but he was in midair and could not avoid it.Almost at the same time, a Tang knife flew out from the entrance of the underground palace, and the tip of the knife precisely hit the whip tail.The castration of the long whip was exhausted, before Shen Ye could withdraw his hand, the tail of the whip was nailed to the beam of the house by four or two thousand catties.

"Le Wuyi, if you help him, then..."

Shen Ye's warning brushed against his ears coolly, and the next moment, the thick stone slab closed behind Le Wuyi.

……

"Yaodie? What a special name..."

"I often climb this tree and never fall..."

"If Big Brother still comes here next year, I can tell you my name."

"Okay, it's a deal."

In a trance, Le Wuyi seemed to return to the moment when he fell from the top of the tree many years ago.He chuckled and relaxed, waiting to be embraced in that warm embrace again.
