Li Yijie said, "Then have you ever thought that if the King of Yue had not been defeated at the beginning, how could there be a future? People who are strong enough do not need to sacrifice themselves, they can still defeat the enemy and achieve victory. Making oneself suffer in every possible way is a sign of weakness and unwillingness. Speaking of which, there is no future. " As he finished speaking, he could not help but be startled. Just now he was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Could it be that he actually had such thoughts in his heart? Was he also like other people, constantly thirsting for more power?
It could be said that his journey in Jianghu had been smooth sailing. Without spending too much effort, he became the 'Meng Zhu'. Once he picked up a secret martial art manual and cultivated a divine skill. He had a woman he adored, and was able to enter the imperial court as an official and stay by her side as he wished. He worked hard for the Qing court, but was not disliked by the upright sects. Now it could be said that both paths were smooth.
But he also knew that this position was not stable. First of all, everybody saw him as a puppet of a different race. Second of all, they did not have the leisure to elect the next 'Meng Zhu', so they let him continue to be the 'Meng Zhu'.
After tasting the sweetness of success, if one day he was suddenly kicked off the 'Meng Zhu' position, his heart would not be reconciled. He hoped that he could truly train his skills, so that the heroes would always respect him, so that he could continue to be the 'Meng Zhu'. These thoughts came straight to the bottom of his heart. In a fit of panic, he warned in a low voice, "These words, you must not tell anyone else."
Cheng Jiahua smiled mysteriously and said, "Turns out Meng Zhu Li is not a stubborn old man after all. Hey hey, I naturally understand. You still have to protect that 'skin' on your face. Don't worry, I have never been a talkative person. If you don't allow me to say anything, I won't mention a single word. Can't we be considered to have a common secret? "
Li Yijie laughed awkwardly and said, "Yes … you think so … it seems to be so." Cheng Jiahua smiled and said, "Then it's settled." He raised his left hand, forming a circle with his index finger and thumb, with three fingers spread out vertically. Li Yijie was surprised, "What kind of gesture is that?" Cheng Jiahua said, "Oh, it's western etiquette, it means' alright '."
While the two were talking, the rocks on the side were still falling down unceasingly. A long, sharp rock with a sharp bottom flew towards the two of them. Li Yijie wanted to protect Cheng Jiahua and evade, but he was powerless. Based on the momentum of the stone, it seemed like it could smash both of them into pieces at the same time.
Li Yijie was at his wit's end. He could only lower his head and close his eyes. Cheng Jiahua's eyes were fixed on the stone. As it fell, he was still thinking about how to deal with it.
The rock was already in front of their chests when suddenly, a few white lights flashed, and the rock suddenly split into many small pieces, scattering around the two of them. A few pieces fell on Cheng Jiahua's body and legs, but they were neither painful nor itchy.
Li Yijie also looked up in astonishment. He saw a young man in white standing in front of him. He was holding the Death Seeking Chop in his hand. His forearm was still curled up after he waved it. Shocked and startled, he said, "Young Master Yuan? You … why did you come down? "
Yuan Yi said indifferently, "If I didn't arrive in time, would you still be alive?" Li Yijie's mouth froze. He said, "No, Young Master Yuan, you misunderstood. I didn't mean it that way …"
Cheng Jiahua asked, "Who are you?" He had never seen Yuan Yi before. He had also never heard of him being in the limelight in the Hall of the Dead. But he still remembered the Death Seeking Chop in his hand. At that time, Liu Mujian had been poisoned because he had held a saber like this, causing him to go insane. He blurted out, "This saber …" He wanted to remind him that there was poison on the hilt. But as soon as he said it, he regretted it. Since he could keep being poisoned without any change in expression, he must be a difficult person to deal with. And if there really was such an expert, he must have a good understanding of poisons and wouldn't be poisoned so easily.
Yuan Yi said, "Alliance Master Li, what are you doing? Why are you so addicted to saving people that you just decided to stay down here and not go out? This place can collapse at any time. That little girl of yours fainted from crying just now. It wasn't easy for someone to save her. "
Cheng Jiahua said, "My leg …" He only said three words before he stopped. With his innate arrogance, even in a life and death situation, he was still unwilling to wag his tail and beg for pity.
Li Yijie explained, "His leg was crushed by a rock. He couldn't pull it out." Yuan Yi laughed. "What's so difficult about that?" He raised his hand and waved it. The Death Seeking Chop drew a silver-gray ray and smashed the rock into pieces. This technique was no different from the one he used just now. Li Yijie saw it for the first time and cheered loudly. Cheng Jiahua also praised, "Amazing! Is this the famous Death Seeking Chop from the legends? "
Yuan Yi laughed and said, "So it's Second Master Cheng. Nice to meet you. Alright, let's talk outside. Let's go. "He grabbed their arms and jumped up. Whenever they encountered a big rock falling down, they would avoid it and kick it again to increase their speed. Finally, the three of them jumped out of the hole and stepped on the flat surface again.
This was the second time Li Yijie had returned from the darkness to the light. The joy in his heart was no less than the first time, in fact, it was even greater. He turned his head to look at Cheng Jiahua with a smile. He saw that his face was cold, as if he wasn't happy about being saved. He didn't know if he really didn't care about life and death, or if he was just good at hiding it.
If it was the latter, then he could be considered a top expert. Even an experienced and astute adult would find it difficult to remain expressionless in the face of great joy and great sorrow, let alone someone of his age.
Nangong Xue had been waiting on the side. Seeing that he was safe, she cried tears of joy. She really rushed forward and hugged him tightly. "Shixiong," she said, "I'm glad you're okay. I knew the heavens would help the worthy. You'll definitely be able to survive. "Her tears soaked his shirt.
Li Yijie patted Nangong Xue's back comfortingly. This time, they had escaped death. The happiest thing was that he could see his Shimei safe and sound. Seeing that Cao Zhenyan and his men had all retreated, he didn't feel disobedient at all.
Yuan Yi and Cheng Jiahua stared at the hole. Just now, when the three of them jumped out, the tomb couldn't hold on any longer. Large pieces of rock poured into the Hall of the Dead like water. Following a few deafening booms, the mausoleum was completely filled.
If people in the future wanted to come and take a look, they would have to spend a lot of effort to move away thousands of pieces of rock. This wasn't an easy task. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was impossible. In this way, this ancient tomb that contained countless secrets would disappear. This wasn't a bad thing. In the future, there wouldn't be any tomb robbers who wanted to make a fortune. Prince He Shuo Zhuang and Princess Yong 'an could truly rest in peace underground.
Everyone silently watched Li Yijie and Nangong Xue cuddle for a while. Fei Ying from Tiantai was the first to interrupt, "Alliance Master, this matter is about done, right? That Liu Mujian of the Yellow Mountain Sect … how should we deal with him? " Li Yijie sighed and said, "Sect Leader Liu wanted to bring glory to his sect. It's just that he took the wrong path. That's why he was confused by poison. When the Yellow Mountain disciples hear this, build a cenotaph for Martial Uncle Liu. When the funeral is held, we must give him a grand burial. We'll still let him … be buried as the Sect Leader. "
Another person said, "Alliance Master, we still have to go to the palace to find the antidote. That's something that can't be delayed." Li Yijie's heart trembled. "That's right. Everyone, do a headcount and organize the troops. We'll set off immediately."
Nangong Xue asked curiously, "Antidote? What antidote? And why do we have to go to the palace to find it? "The man from the Snow Mountain Sect said angrily," Why do we have to go to the palace to find it? It's the bitter medicine that those sons of b * tches gave us to eat. Damn those b * tches … "
Li Yijie raised his hand to stop him. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how many more curses he would give him. The last thing he wanted was for him to insult Shen Shiyun. No matter what other people said about Yun 'er, if he didn't hear it from her mouth, he wouldn't believe it. He then said to Nangong Xue, "It's indeed a trap set by the soldiers. First, they sealed all the entrances and exits of the tomb. Then, they released poisonous smoke into the sealed Hall of the Dead. Furthermore, it wasn't the 'Ten Fragrant Tendon Weakening Powder'. They wanted to wait for everyone to fall before sending people to steal the Life Seeking Slash. Although obtaining the treasure is our primary goal, the imperial court didn't intend to help us. We were all used without knowing it. "
Nangong Xue was secretly shocked. "What a vicious plan. How did you know?" Li Yijie said, "It's Cao Daren … He led the troops here earlier. I subdued him and forced him to admit it himself."
Nangong Xue said, "Cao Daren? He … "Li Yijie said," He was just following orders. You can't blame him entirely. If he didn't do it, Master would have beheaded him. However, after he returned to the palace this time, he didn't complete his mission and didn't bring back the Life Seeking Slash. He won't have any good consequences. Therefore, I let him go. Come, let's talk as we walk. "
Everyone marched forward in formation, heading straight for the capital. On the way, Li Yijie told Nangong Xue and Cheng Jiahua about the various unforeseen events that happened after they escaped from the stone statues. The two of them were stunned and speechless. Of course, he hid the part about how it was very likely that the Noble Consort Yun was behind this.
He only wanted to think in private and find a suitable reason to convince himself that Shen Shiyun was not guilty. He didn't want others to quickly analyze the situation for him and make him guilty even if he wasn't guilty. In the end, he was biased toward Shen Shiyun. It was a deep-rooted belief that he didn't want outsiders to tarnish his goddess. It was like he was protecting a belief that he didn't want to overturn.
He talked about how Yuan Yi showed off his power in the Hall of the Dead. He solved the puzzles of the diagrams one by one, obtained the Prince's last words, and finally obtained the Life Seeking Slash. Originally, he was telling the story in a relaxed tone, but when he talked about how he considered himself the owner of the precious saber, his tone inevitably revealed a deep sense of loss.
Nangong Xue was angry on his behalf. "Who does he think he is? He shouldn't be so selfish. What's so great about the Four Great Clans? Just because he is greedy for treasures, he doesn't care about the danger facing the Wulin world. If he can't keep the Life Seeking Slash, what should we do? "Cheng Jiahua added fuel to the fire." He is a lone wolf. It would be strange if he can keep it. The Seven Demons are not that easy to deal with. "
Nangong Xue said, "You should talk to him about the greater good. Even if he doesn't think for himself, he should think for his family. Isn't he afraid of getting into trouble? You said just now that he is the young master of some famous villa. If worse comes to worst, you can tell him about the Shadowless Villa. For the sake of the Tears of Severing Soul, the entire villa was exterminated. That bloody incident is still fresh in his mind. If he keeps the Life Seeking Slash, the next one to be exterminated will be the Yuan Family Village! "
Cheng Jiahua said, "If that doesn't work, we'll put some poison in his tea and take the opportunity to take it away. Although this method is a bit unscrupulous, it is necessary to deal with those stubborn and stubborn people. This is called fighting poison with poison. "
Nangong Xue said, "Ah Hua is right. We are risking our lives to search for the Life Seeking Slash. He only waited until the end. With just a few words, he wants to keep the treasure for himself. How can there be such a free lunch in the world? Even if we move him emotionally, he has no reason to keep it for himself. It's just that he might not listen to us. "
The two of them echoed each other, Li Yijie felt like his head was about to explode. He really couldn't give the Life Seeking Slash to him, and it wasn't appropriate for him to give it to him. However, he had saved his life several times. How could he open his mouth? Using poison to plot against his benefactor, although it wasn't a big deal, it was still a very dishonorable thing to do. It really didn't fit his status as the Alliance Leader.
At this time, someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind. Normally, people of the Righteous Faction would respect the Alliance Leader as their Master. When they had something to discuss, they would respectfully call him "Alliance Leader". They would never dare to pat him so carelessly. Li Yijie had already trained himself to be alert. With his hand on the hilt of his sword, he took a big step forward and suddenly turned around. As he turned around, Nangong Xue and Cheng Jiahua also turned around.
