However, he didn't know if Mu Qingyan had anticipated that someone would attack from the outside. He and Lu Qian were the same. Although they hated each other, they also appreciated each other's talents and didn't want the other to die prematurely. If he harmed Mu Qingyan because he thought he was smart, it would be difficult for him to get rid of the guilt. Moreover, if the three of them wanted to escape, they would need his help. He almost wanted to imitate Lu Qian's tone and ask, "Are you still alive?" However, this tone was too frivolous. An honest person like him wouldn't be able to imitate it. Since he didn't hear any screams, the situation shouldn't be too bad.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lu Qian curse back, "What else could it be? Did you think I was dead? Do you think this little trap can do anything to this Great King? However, with so many swords suddenly appearing just now, I was really scared … Xiao Xuan was startled. " The three of them could tell that he was trying to save face. When he almost blurted it out, he immediately changed the word "me" to "Xiao Xuan".
Li Yijie asked curiously, "Swords? Many swords? It was an afterimage … "Lu Qian said," Dream on! Dream on! This wish of yours is as unrealistic as turning all the dirt into gold. The Afterimage Sword is an ancient treasure. One is enough. However, I really am amazing. Compared to Alliance Master Li and Alliance Master Mu Zi, I'm 180 times better … "Li Yijie interrupted," Get to the point. "
Lu Qian snorted and said, "After the finger force hit the wall, cracks spread out in all directions from that point. I thought the wall was going to collapse. Who would have thought that it actually did collapse. However, it was different from what I expected. Only a thin layer of dirt fell on the surface, revealing a bit of red. I thought that someone had splashed blood on the wall. However, when I looked carefully, it turned out to be a semicircular steel case embedded in the wall. Sigh, it's actually shaped like a thumb ring. Afterwards, many swords flew out of nowhere — I told you, they were the most common swords — and attacked the wall together. The situation was like … right, like moths flying into a flame. Every sword pierced the steel case. At the same time, the steel sheath tightened and locked the sword firmly. The precision of his technique is almost on par with mine. It wasn't easy for a woman like Mu Qingyan to reach this step. When it finally quieted down, the wall formed a … how should I put it? A ghost symbol that doesn't look like a word or a picture. "
Li Yijie thought that since the steel casing had already been set up on the wall, it must have been measured beforehand. Presumably, he wanted to convey a message, but was worried that the steel sheath was too small to see clearly, so he deliberately inserted a sword into it. Those swords had no intention of harming people, the key point was the symbol they formed. "What symbol is that?" Lu Qian said, "Didn't I tell you before? Li Yijie did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I am asking," he said, "What is the shape of that symbol? Ahem, even if you can't find a specific example, it's good enough to describe it. "
Lu Qian said, "It swerved to the east, turned to the south, and turned straight to the north … Damn it, I can't tell. It's just a random shot." Li Yijie knew that it was not a random shot, but he could not see the pattern with his own eyes. Lu Qian's tone had always been vague. It was unclear whether he was really not interested in the symbol because he really did not understand it, or because he did not want to reveal it.
Li Yijie was silent for a moment. Lu Qian could not take it anymore and said, "Alliance Head Li, you colluded with my disciple. You threatened her and taught her the formula. You put in so much effort and made such a big fuss just to show me this ghost symbol? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Where is the Death Seeking Strike? "
Cheng Jiahua opened his mouth and wanted to curse back. However, after thinking for a moment, he changed his tone and said, "Master, each statue only contains one clue. If someone can guess everything by looking at one, then it can only be said that Mu Qingyan's defenses are too lax. Look at the fingers of the other statues. They all have instructions. Disciple knows that Master's martial arts are astonishing. No matter how many times you circulate your energy, you are still full of energy and will not tire. Please use the same method as before and hit each corresponding wall once. When all the clues are connected, I believe that the mystery will be revealed. "
Lu Qian glanced at the row of statues on the wall and cursed in his heart, "Mu Qingyan, this little girl, is always so wishy-washy. What does she look like? No wonder Prince Zhuang doesn't want her. "
But this mechanism seemed quite plausible. Since the first clue had been revealed, it was not his style to give up halfway. He sighed and thought, "I'm going to be your tool. Later, when I find the Death Seeking Strike with great difficulty, if you, Li Yijie, dare to open your mouth and say the word 'want', I'll chop you up." He looked unhappily at a nearby statue and thought, "Who has the patience to look at these thick and short fingers? Prince Zhuang has already been hooked by a girl's slender jade fingers. All you can do is carve a man's finger to relieve your boredom. "
This time, Li Yijie didn't need to recite the incantation. He was able to execute the entire set of movements skillfully. Every time, the result was similar. Apart from the sound of Cheng Jiaxuan's clapping, it was the same as before. Li Yijie and the others could only guess. They knew that another thin wall had collapsed outside. Many sharp swords shot out, forming a "ghost symbol" that didn't look like a word, but didn't look like a picture.
Because the sound was produced by the mechanism, the time limit for each sound was roughly the same. Basically, after a few dozen sounds, the sound was completed. The three of them had heard it many times and understood the pattern. When the last wall fell and the sound of flying swords was heard, Li Yijie was just about to open his mouth to ask when he heard a dull sound. It was like a piece of earth was slowly moving and opening up a gap. At the same time, there was a light "huo huo" sound. It sounded like a stream flowing slowly, but also carried the sharpness of a knife being sharpened.
If one didn't listen carefully, it would be very difficult to notice this sound. Moreover, after it started, it didn't stop for a long time. Then there was a "pa" sound. It sounded like something fell from a high place and hit the ground with a crisp sound. Li Yijie finally couldn't bear it anymore. "Ah!" he cried out. He knocked hard on the stone wall. His voice was several times faster than the most urgent drum beat. He said, "What fell down?"
Inside the Hall of the Dead, there was no sound for a long time. These thick and heavy stones were able to isolate sound. Li Yijie was inside. Both sides had to raise their voices and shout as loudly as if they were shouting across a mountain. Only then could they barely hear each other. It was impossible to distinguish the sound of breathing.
To him, this moment was really longer than several hundred years. The other two people inside the stone statue were also extremely anxious. They couldn't see the situation outside and didn't know what kind of unforeseen event had happened. The most unbearable thing was to be anxious. At the same time, the air in here was indeed getting thinner and thinner. It wasn't that there was any hidden mechanism, but this small room was blocked by the stone statue. Although the three of them were breathing slowly and carefully, since the air was limited, it would be exhausted sooner or later. Gradually, it became difficult to breathe. Their faces were dry and hot.
Just as they were about to prepare for the worst, Lu Qian finally opened his mouth. His first sentence was actually ridiculing, "What is it? Do you think the Death Reaper Chop fell down? " Li Yijie was an honest person. He was worried about this matter. As soon as he was asked, he immediately believed it. He said anxiously, "Is it really the Death Reaper Chop?"
Cheng Jiahua snorted. In his heart, he had already equated the appearance of the Death Reaper Chop with the fake he saw just now. That curved blade, no matter what direction it fell from, it couldn't possibly make a "pa" sound after it fell to the ground. There must be something else, or it could be the final clue to solve the mystery.
Lu Qian didn't make a sound for a long time. He was probably thinking about the meaning behind it. With these several layers of protection, Lu Qian wouldn't be able to overturn the heavens. Then what was there to be afraid of? He pretended to be ignorant and said, "Master, this disciple knows that the Death Reaper Chop isn't that easy to obtain. If so … does it mean that a secret door has been opened? Is it a treasure map that fell down? "
Lu Qian laughed and said, "Sure enough, my disciple is smart. Although his guess isn't completely correct, at least it's not far from the truth. Alliance Master Li, don't look at how you're the noble Alliance Master. You still have to learn a bit. Why don't you take him as your master? That's also the right path. All the scribbles were arranged at the same height. Even higher up … it could be considered the centermost. There's a square wide hole. Its height is about enough for three people to lie down and stack on top of each other before they can enter. The hole's entrance can't be seen clearly. It's covered with a layer of purple light curtain. There are dark waves flowing on the light curtain. It looks like a dark region, but it's trying its best to hide it. Speaking of which, it's easy to get lost. That light curtain … "
Li Yijie had no choice but to interrupt again and said, "Get to the point." Lu Qian said, "A small piece of wood fell out of the hole. The sound you heard was from it. It's densely packed with characters. It's hard to understand. The gist of it is how to find the Death Seeking Chop after opening the secret door. It seems that it's not that simple. "He was long-winded, just to keep them in suspense. He never got to the point.
Li Yijie said happily, "Excellent! Hard work pays off. Quickly, quickly read it. We're about to succeed! "He was so ecstatic that he didn't even notice that the air in the stone statue had suddenly decreased.
Cheng Jiaxuan interrupted, "Don't talk about it. It wasn't easy to get this clue. Why should we share it with others so easily? Let's leave him alone and speed up the search for the Death Seeking Chop. If they can't get in the way, won't we have fewer opponents? In any case, they ran into the stone statue without thinking. They didn't push it in for us. Why should we take the blame? Let's just let them fend for themselves. Did you forget that when Alliance Master Li was here, he was in charge? He can't do this, he can't do that. It's as if he's the only upright gentleman in the world. I've had enough. Let's do it ourselves. Why should we be restrained? "
Lu Qian said, "Don't keep saying 'we'. If they didn't leak information from the stone statue, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't have thought to fix these walls. Don't even think about the Death Seeking Chop, but we still have to save people. " In comparison, you haven't done anything at all, have you? "Cheng Jiaxuan said," Everything that can be done has been done by others, there is nothing left for me. Besides, didn't I cheer for you? "Lu Qian said," Good is good. It's not for other people to cheer for you. "
When Nangong Xue heard them mention 'less opponents', she suddenly remembered something. "Where are the other people in the main hall? Where did they go? Liu Shibo fainted because his acupoint was sealed. His disciples and grand-disciples were looking after him. Why did they suddenly leave without saying anything? But if there were other people here, why didn't they hear him say anything? That scoundrel wouldn't dare to be this arrogant. "
She couldn't help but blame herself for being so slow. She hastily asked, "Where are Huangshan Pai's Sect Leader Liu and his disciples? What did you do to them? " An image of blood appeared in her mind. It was as if she could see corpses drained of blood strewn across the hall. Her heart skipped a beat. For a moment she forgot that she was pretending to be unconscious.
