devil may cry

Chapter 88. Reappearance of Excalibur

In northern Xinjiang in January, the sky is full of cold and snow, and it has just stopped in the past few days.Behind Bei Mingyan was a desolate snow field, and in front of him stood a majestic gate.The gate is as high as a two-story building, and two thin snakes are carved on the copper head, sticking their tongues out at the visitors.

The wind was very strong, and even if there were footprints, they had already been covered up. I don't know whether other people have been in for a long time, or were delayed by something. In short, there is no one outside.

Xue Luoqian and Ye Xiaoyun agreed to meet at the third quarter of Haishi, in the Beishan Mausoleum.

This mausoleum is similar to the Duobao Pagoda, the ancestral hall of the Xue family, except that in the Duobao Pagoda are memorial tablets, and all the corpses are incinerated into ashes.

Therefore, Bei Mingyan, who likes to secretly watch dramas about gods and ghosts since he was a child, was once very afraid of it.

Moreover, even people who do not believe in ghosts and gods will feel fear in their hearts.Because there are many organs in the mausoleum, if you are not careful, you will be lost forever.

The cold wind whistled and blew again, making sobs and whimpers, Bei Mingyan trembled and asked, "Can you really attract him?"

Xue Luoqian took his hand and said coldly, "You'll know as soon as you go in. Ayan, are you particular here?"

Bei Mingyan shook his head: "No." Even if there was, Ayun would probably bring someone in: "There is a mechanism. You bring my jade token, let's go in quickly, I'm cold..."

They opened the door and went in, and the long lights on the corridor lit up one after another, illuminating a single passage.Close the door again, it really gets a lot warmer.

Bei Mingyan shook his hand vigorously: "Don't move." Then he groped for a while on the wall behind the door, stopped his finger on a brick and knocked, and another brick popped out from the other side.

Bei Mingyan walked over to embed the jade tablet into the groove of the brick, but nothing happened.

"That's fine, the mechanism outside won't work anymore." After he finished speaking, he took a step forward, and the moment the toe of the shoe touched the ground, the ground parted from the middle with a "boom", like a giant beast opening With a big mouth, it wants to swallow the trespasser.

Xue Luoqian's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he pulled him back with his arm. Bei Mingyan was still in shock: "...what's going on?"

Xue Luoqian looked at the hole below, it was dark and lifeless: "Someone got there first."

Bei Mingyan had been here a few years earlier to bury Bei Mingchen, but it was not like this at that time.

The jade badge was useless, so Xue Luoqian took it off and put it back on his neck: "From now on, don't be so reckless. If it's too late, what will you do if you fall?"

Bei Mingyan was a little frustrated. He thought that he could always help when he was at home: "Oh..."

"...Ayan, come here."

"Huh?" As soon as he approached Xue Luoqian, he bent over and hugged him: "??"

"Does Ayan remember the type and location of the organ?"

"Remember." He and Ye Xiaoyun once sneaked here to steal food, or lazily avoided the homework assigned by the master. After a long time, he also studied the institutions here.

"Well, then please ask Ayan to point it out for me one by one, so that I can avoid it."

"Oh, good..." Bei Mingyan looked towards the aisle, Si Lin said: "Within ten steps from here, you have to cross the stone slab first, and be careful not to step on the red line on the far left..."

He remembered it very clearly, and he spoke in great detail. Xue Luoqian listened carefully for a while, and said, "Hold me tight."

"Ah? Um... ok."

Xue Luoqian performed lightness kung fu and jumped up, tapped his toes lightly on the ground, barely avoiding the red line on the ground, followed Bei Mingyan's instructions all the way forward, and saw the passageway not long after.

At the exit, the dome is extremely high, like a high-roofed palace, surrounded by a circle, with walkways leading to different mausoleums.

Bei Mingyan was worried about the agency all the way and didn't have the heart to think too much, but Xue Luoqian didn't make any mistakes along the way, and sometimes his body reacted faster than his words.

So, when he saw these violent people in front of him and staring at him, at first he didn't understand why, and then suddenly felt that this scene... seemed a little familiar.

Xue Luoqian put his legs down, and he stood upright. It may be that his mind turned. He remembered that this scene was very similar to the one in the Lingnan underground palace.

The difference is that the characters have changed a bit.However, this time he was not as anxious to distance himself from Xue Luoqian as he was in Lingnan. Instead, he stepped back two steps behind Xue Luoqian, as if he was seen being carried in by him, a little embarrassed .

A group of people were standing in the mausoleum, surrounded by one person. The atmosphere was serious and tense, but it was relieved by the arrival of the two of them.

The person surrounded in the middle was as expected, and it was the person they had some doubts about before, Shen Muqing.

He was still dressed as before, staring blankly at the two of them, and glanced at the two in the crowd in night clothes.

Among the group of people, another "Bei Mingyan" held a sword and tore off the human|skin mask from his chin, revealing a youthful and heroic face.

Seeing that he was still looking at Xue Luoqian and Bei Mingyan, Ji Chaoxing was not surprised, and said impatiently to Shen Muqing: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen Duanxiu or something?!"

"Pfft—" Ye Xiaoyun was the first to laugh unkindly.

Xiao Yan turned his face away for the second time.

Ji Ruyuan also tore off the mask on his face, and said helplessly: "Chao Xing...the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, as long as you know it yourself, why bother to explain it to others?"

"I don't agree with this. What is a scandal? My apprentice has been blooming for more than 20 years. It is obviously a happy event."

Ji Ruyuan always treated Nangong Qingshui courteously, bowed and said, "Miss Nangong is right, but Ruyuan didn't think carefully, I don't think it's strange for Madam."

"Well, it's still a good boy to correct his mistakes."

Ji Chaoxing: "Hmph."

Bei Mingyi couldn't help but said: "Family ugly? Brother Zhaoxing, brother Luo Qian's natal family?"

Ji Ruyuan said: "The Xue and Ji families have in-laws, just like your family has in-laws with the Xue family."

Bei Mingyi was about to say something, but the young man beside him pulled his sleeve lightly.

Ji Chaoxing: "...huh."

"But it's really too straightforward...Look, Xiao Luoqian's complexion is not good..."

Xue Luoqian: "...Master!"

Ji Chaoxing: "...huh!"

Shen Muqing has been staring at Bei Mingyan and Xue Luo since they came in, completely ignoring these noisy people, and said after a long time: "So that's it..."

Ji Chaoxing said: "Don't talk nonsense! Take off the mask!"

"Why can't I understand what Young Master Ji said?"

"Stop pretending," Ye Xiaoyun said with a smile, "Really, Shen Muqing has already been killed. The eldest son of the owner of the God's Tomb, that is, your "brother" Shen Mufeng, was also found dead at home a few days ago. What? They found out about you Something is wrong, so I can't help but kill? You can't hold your breath..."

"If Xue Luoqian hadn't suspected you long ago and sent someone to protect Shen Muyu, I'm afraid he would be your dead soul now, right?"

Shen Muqing didn't answer, Ye Xiaoyun said again: "Are you showing your face yourself, or wait for me to tear it up for you?"

"I don't understand, you all came here from thousands of miles just to embarrass me?"

Xue Luoqian said: "Why are you here?"

"Of course I came with you."

"Afraid that we dig the grave and find you are still alive?"

Shen Muqing paused, and continued to smile politely: "I don't understand what President Xue said. I was just worried about what you guys are doing stupidly, and I feel that it is not up to standard to inform you seniors, so I settled for the next best thing, and told you the truth." come up."

Nangong Qingshui snorted, "Your mouth is full of lies, man."

Ji Ruyuan said: "My lord, what you mean is, how many of us still need to thank you, lord?"

"They're all from the rivers and lakes, so you don't have to be polite."

Ji Chaoxing's horizontal sword advanced another three inches: "Shut up. Who is with you?!"

"Master Ji will be in a difficult situation if he does this."

"It will be even more difficult for you!" Ji Ruyuan threw the sword in his hand to Xue Luoqian. Shen Muqing's eyes lit up when she saw the sword, and her figure moved slightly, as if she wanted to go up to snatch it. Ji Chaoxing shouted: "Don't move!"

It was a sword that Bei Mingyan had seen in Lianchengsi. It was red all over, and some heat waves could be felt around it.

The corner of Shen Muqing's mouth hung for a moment, and then immediately returned to its original appearance.

Xue Luoqian looked down at the sword body, and when he looked up, his eyes were cold: "It's better to do it yourself, so you can save some face."

Still didn't answer, Xue Luoqian didn't plan to quarrel with him, but was going to be tough, but Bei Mingyan suddenly stopped him: "Wait!"

All eyes were cast on him.

Bei Mingyan hesitated and said, "Who are you?"

"..." Shen Muqing asked back: "Is it important?"

"Ah."

"I am who i am."

"……name."

Being stared at by Bei Mingyan, he suddenly couldn't say it, that name didn't belong to him at all.

The less he spoke, the more uneasy Bei Mingyan felt.

Finally, he slowly opened his mouth: "Next...Shen Muqing."

"...Okay," Bei Mingyan was silent for a moment, and then signaled to Xue Luoqian: "Just look at it."

Seeing him turn around, Shen Muqing seemed unwilling to look at her again, her fingers curled up under her sleeves, but she never moved again.

Several people dug the tomb together, Ye Xiaoyun got a few shovels from nowhere, and soon the soil under the tombstone was exposed, revealing a coffin.

"The soil layer is loose. It seems that someone just dug it not long ago."

When Bei Mingyan heard this, he pushed aside the crowd anxiously and squeezed into the middle, his heart beating non-stop.

Opened the coffin, but saw that there were no bones inside, not even a piece of clothing or rags. In the empty coffin, there was a thing that surprised everyone.

The black and golden slender famous sword, Fengshan.

No one expected to see Feng Shan here, and so did Xue Luoqian, so they all quietly looked at Feng Shanjian.There was only one person, and he suddenly walked towards Shen Muqing quickly, reaching out to grab Shen Muqing's chin.

Where can Shen Muqing be caught by him?But before he could dodge, Bei Mingyan said to him: "Where are the bones?!"

He came so suddenly that Shen Muqing was stunned.

He was in a trance on one side, but something happened to him on the other side.

Bei Mingyan turned his head, but saw Xue Luoqian curled up on the ground with his head in his arms, as if he was injured somewhere.

He threw the scarlet sword aside casually, and no one dared to touch it.
