Chapter 172: Golden Bell and Silver Thread
Tang Huayi leads Li Tianyu, and Luo Qingyi chases after him.
Jingtan layman followed closely behind.
There is no need to say more about Dao Wuming.
Ning Jiuyuan would definitely catch up. Although Gu Shengyan was reluctant and a little resistant to the surrounding environment, he saw that Dao Wuming and Ning Jiuyuan were gone.
I can only keep up honestly.
In this way, only the famous Cheng Tianyang, Mr. Da and others remained in this inn.
Look at the people in the Blood Knife Hall outside.
Xuanyuan Yidao had already gotten up from the ground. He was seriously injured and was supported by two disciples.
But he had no intention of healing his wounds. He waved his hand and directed the disciples of Blood Knife Hall to chase him.
Cheng Tianyang thought for a moment, whether he could stay here and just watch.
He had no choice but to leave some more people to look after the escorts, and then led the rest of the people to chase them.
There are many of them and they set out the latest.
After walking along the trail for about a cup of tea, I heard the faint sound of bells ringing in the air.
Looking for the sound, I saw a lonely human head flying in the air under the rainy night.
Cheng Tianyang frowned slightly:
"Be careful, there is a formation!"
He had already seen that the head seemed to be hanging in the air, but was actually connected by silk threads.
"It's raining heavily tonight, and the vision is not clear. Someone has formed a hanging silk formation here to invite you to enter the urn.
" This person beheaded someone with silk thread, as if he were searching for something from a bag.
"If you step into this formation, if you are not careful, it may fall apart and be shattered into pieces!
"You guys wait here while I go in to investigate. "
"Chief escort, no! "
Someone behind him immediately said, "
This place is extremely dangerous. You can't put yourself in danger." Cheng
Tianyang shook his head:
"Young Master Jiang and the others are rare benevolent and righteous people in the world. We are restricted by the rules and cannot act rashly. I feel sorry for my friends."
"Now that we know they may be in danger, how can we turn a blind eye?
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, you are here to take care of me, I will come as soon as I go. "
All the bodyguards suddenly frowned. They wanted to persuade but knew they couldn't. They could only sigh and said,
"Then I'll wait here for the chief bodyguard. Cheng
Tianyang nodded slightly, and was about to move forward, but seemed to think of something, so he stretched out his hand:
"Give me a knife." "
Immediately, an escort handed him the sword.
After taking the sword, he turned around and stepped into the silk circle.
But he heard footsteps coming from behind. When he turned around, Man Shengming followed him.
Their eyes met, and Man Shengming spoke softly:
"Together. "
Okay." "
Cheng Tianyang smiled casually, and then cautiously explored forward with Man Shengming. In the
early stage of the hanging silk formation, there were still large gaps. Although it was a bit dangerous, it was not too dangerous. The two of
them found it quickly as they moved forward. As soon as Cheng Tianyang reached out his hand and scratched lightly, a sharp pain suddenly came from his fingertips. It turned out that he had been scratched by this almost invisible thin line. A trace of blood appeared out of thin air, and was scratched again
. The rain washed away the water.
Cheng Tianyang pondered for a moment, glanced at Man Shengming, and saw him nodding slightly, then he held the handle of the knife with his backhand. With a sudden slash, he
heard
the sound of tinkling bells. For a moment,
the buzzing sounds continued one after another. Came from all directions.
Cheng Tianyang's face changed drastically:
"Not good! ! "
Not only did this knife fall not cut off the thread, but it actually made it roll back like a wave.
Under such a counterattack, if not all of them would be caught in the wave and die in pieces. They were so shocked that they
couldn't care less. In addition, Cheng Tianyang changed his footwork and struck four nine-layer shocking palms in succession.
His palms were powerful, and one strike was like a strong wind sweeping through him. He pushed
the thin line hard to prevent it from killing him immediately.
What followed was just a feeling. His wrists tightened, and the next moment, he was dragged by Man Shengming and started to run through the thread.
Cheng Tianyang's face turned pale for a moment.
He thought that even with all his strength, he might not be able to break away from this thin thread and kill like this. Run, if you fail to protect yourself, if you are caught by the thread, you will end up being torn apart.
This word is like gold, why is it so strong?
As I thought, I suddenly heard screams coming from not far away.
I raised my head . When I went to look, I saw that the disciples of the Blood Knife Hall were also caught in this formation and were being killed into pieces by the flying filaments.
Their martial arts skills were not as good as those of Cheng Tianyang and Man Shengming, and they were not as good at escaping as Man Shengming... those who
fell into this place Of course, there is death and no life.
Just when Cheng Tianyang was happily watching the excitement, he suddenly felt his feet stutter. He turned around and found that Man Shengming had stopped.
Looking at the surrounding environment, it was not complicated.
This was... death Alive?
Cheng Tianyang was surprised and happy for a moment, but couldn't help but look at Man Shengming, wondering how he did it.
Man Shengming thought for a while, and then uttered four words:
"Qimen... Dunjia.
"It turns out that Man Daxia is also proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia? "
"Disrespect, disrespect!"
Cheng Tianyang quickly clasped his fists.
Man Shengming shook his head:
"I understand a little... I understand a little... you... take a look..."
He stretched out his hand and Cheng Tianyang looked along his finger, and saw 'Li Tianxin', Luo Qingyi and others were far away from them. , turned out to be not far away.
Just as Dao Wuming, Ning Jiuyuan and others were getting together, they were talking about something.
He immediately said quickly:
"Master Man, how can we get there?"
"Follow...I'll come."
Man Sheng lived up to his reputation as a hero. He was not only a master of martial arts, but also a rich scholar.
The formation that the old man arranged here had no mystery at all in his eyes.
So much so that when he led Cheng Tianyang to find 'Li Tianxin' and others, it was as easy as stepping into his own back garden.
In the blink of an eye, they were already close, and they heard the unknown deep voice say:
"From this point of view, this person must be the 'Golden Bell and Silver Thread' of the past!"
"Golden Bell and Silver Thread?"
Cheng Tianyang was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously said:
"The golden bell and silver thread that brother mentioned, could it be the gravedigger who ran rampant in the past?" "
Mr. Cheng is here."
"Meet Mr. Cheng."
Hearing that Cheng Tianyang When he opened his mouth, everyone immediately saw him again.
After each of them said a few polite words, Dao Wuming said:
"What Mr. Cheng said is right. Just now I saw the old man using his methods. The only thing I can think of is Mr. Silver Thread.
"This man uses thread as a blade. His methods were extremely fierce, and a large tomb was discovered in Beihuai many years ago.
"The imperial court immediately sent someone to look after him, but he didn't expect that he would still be visited by these rats.
"And this group of people is led by Jinling Yinxian.
"They killed all the officers and soldiers at the time, dug the grave... and even arranged the 'Thousand Bells and Ten Thousand Ren Formation' around the grave.
"It took three years to destroy them all. It is said that even now, sometimes small beasts in the mountains are injured by the silver wires set back then... and their legs and feet are broken in vain. Cheng
Tianyang suddenly realized:
"Thousand Bells and Ten Thousand Ren Formation... No wonder it is so powerful."
"I have heard about these two people before, but weren't they already executed ten years ago?"
Dao Wuming shook his head slightly, spoke, and led everyone forward:
"If you talk about other things, Xiaosheng may not really know.
"But I have heard about it.
"They were not executed back then, but surrendered to the imperial court.
"Just because Mrs. Jin Ling was pregnant..."
"Pregnant? Tang
Huayi raised his eyebrows: "What does this have to do with surrendering to the imperial court?"
"Hey, Brother Li doesn't know something. " "
Dao Wuming glanced at this fellow man and chuckled:
"It has been years of digging and digging graves with golden bells and silver wires, which is detrimental to moral integrity. In addition, the corpse energy in the ancient tomb is too strong, and it has been active underground for many years. For children, How can there be any benefit at all?
"So, when the child was born, he was languid and ready to die.
"At that time, the only way to save the child was to obtain the precious treasure 'Luo Xing Bead', so that he could barely survive.
"However, the 'Luo Xing Bead' has been enshrined in Qintian Prison for generations. Not to mention that they are two tomb robbers. Even if they are relatives of the emperor, there is absolutely no reason to lend it to them. "
So the only way they can think of is, Return to the imperial court.
"These two people have extraordinary backgrounds, and the art of concubine they have learned is unparalleled in the world.
"In addition, the late emperor was ill at the time and was planning the imperial tomb... What they learned could come in handy.
"It should be through this opportunity that they successfully surrendered.
"But what happened after that, others don't know.
"But I didn't expect that after ten years, Mr. Silver Line would show up here."
Tang Huayi and others were somewhat silent when they heard this.
Knowing that even if Jin Ling Yin Xian surrendered to the imperial court, it would not be that easy to obtain the Falling Star Bead.
However, parents who love their children will naturally overcome all difficulties and try every means to solve these problems. It's just that as time goes by, Mr. Silver Thread has ended up here. Why he is here is not something they can guess by just using their brains here.
"This is here!"
Jingtan layman suddenly said at this time:
"I think this Thousand Bells and Tens of Rings Formation was not acquired in one day, but accumulated over many years.
"The core of the formation is here...nearby , when there is a mystery. "
Man Shengming glanced around, suddenly took a step forward, reached out and groped lightly on one side.
After a moment, he suddenly stretched out his fingers and grabbed lightly.
He heard a click sound, and on the mountain wall on one side, A secret door opened immediately.
Everyone looked at each other and said,
"Let's go in. "
Tang Huayi looked back at the Blood Sword Hall disciples who were trapped by the Thousand Bells and Ten Thousand Ren Formation. She
had never seen Xuanyuan Yida... nor Chi Lin from Ben Lei Hall.
She pondered slightly and said to Li Tianyu:
"Tian Yu , don’t follow me in, just stay here.
"There are Thousands of Bells and Thousands of Ren formations around them. It's not that easy for them to break through the formations and get here.
"If you don't like anyone, just shoot them to death with an arrow.
"Anyone who dares to come within ten feet of this place will be killed without mercy."
"Yes."
Li Tianyu immediately agreed, took off the long bow behind him, and stared at the surroundings.
After Tang Huayi arranged this matter, he relaxed a little.
Apart from the Mr. Silver Line in the inn tonight, the most important thing is the Benlei Hall and the Blood Knife Hall.
The Blood Knife Hall was obviously malicious and wanted to snatch Jiang Ran's Jiao Wei Qin.
Ben Lei Tang is a means of secretly poking.
Both of these cannot be ignored.
Now the Thousand Bells and Thousands of Rings array is naturally deployed here, plus Li Tianyu who has the arrows to chase the clouds and the moon.
With such a combination, it would be difficult for the two of them to break through even if they have great abilities.
Moreover, let’s take a step back.
Even if he really rushed over and killed Li Tianyu, it would not be a big loss to himself and Jiang Ran.
With this in her mind, she stopped thinking about it and followed everyone into the secret passage.
There are not many twists and turns in this secret passage, it just goes all the way down.
Not far away, I heard the sound of low roars and screams reaching my ears.
Everyone was stunned when they heard the sound. They took a few steps to look, and suddenly their eyes suddenly opened up.
A huge underground hall appeared in front of everyone.
A rack of torture instruments was placed on both sides of the hall, and in the middle were chopping boards, stone mills, steamers, oil pans, iron tongs, steel cones and other items...
Screams came from the rack on one side.
There is a person tied to that shelf.
This man was naked from the waist up, with protruding veins on his forehead, and more than thirty silver needles pricking his head all over.
The man's eyes were glazed over and he was drooling.
Sometimes he growls, sometimes he screams, like a wounded beast.
"Junior brother!!!"
Ning Jiuyuan's eyes suddenly turned red when she saw him.
The person who was being tortured was none other than Feng Wu.
It is really unimaginable that Feng Wu, who was full of youthful spirit before eating, was tortured into such a state in this short period of time.
Ning Jiuyuan took a step forward and reached out to pull the silver needle on his head.
But just as his finger was about to fall, he stopped again.
This time, she didn't need anyone to stop her. She knew that pulling her out like this was unreasonable.
This silver needle looks fierce, who knows how it was driven into the head?
I don't know what happened, so I forcefully pulled him off. What if it killed Feng Wu's life? What should I do?
Ning Jiuyuan was at a loss for a moment and could only cry.
This is really a disaster for them.
Originally, he was planning to return to Qifeng Villa in Changqing Mansion with Dao Wuming and the others.
Who would have thought that an abandoned inn that lived in the middle would end up in such a state?
"Miss Ning, please don't panic. There is no trace of the old man here, so there must be some mystery inside."
Dao Wuming said in a deep voice,
"If we find this person, we may have a way to rescue Mr. Feng."
Ning Jiuyuan nodded immediately after hearing this:
" What the senior said is true, if you find him... you must find him!"
At this point in her words, she heard a click.
The wall on one side suddenly rose, revealing a portal.
Everyone looked at the door and saw Man Shengming standing silently aside, cherishing his words like gold.
"Let's go!"
...
"
Eighteen Heavenly Demonic Records, the most tragic in all time!?"
Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing were already standing on the middle platform.
Just standing here, looking at the sword array around him, Jiang Ran couldn't help but frown slightly:
"What exactly does this sentence mean?"
"Could it be said that these eighteen tragic reliefs record the eighteen demons? Eighteen kinds of martial arts recorded?"
Ruan Yuqing guessed with some hesitation.
Jiang Ran shook his head flatly:
"This is impossible."
He learned about the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Record from Tang Huayi's mouth.
I know that these are the eighteen supreme magic skills of the demon sect.
So far, Jiang Ran knows that Li Feiyun's "Blood Cauldron Scripture", the leader of the demon sect's "Great Self-Contained Heavenly Demon Ten Thousand Thoughts Art", and even Tang Huayi's "Heaven's Secret Fighting Transformation Technique" all come from this. Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records.
Although the number is consistent with the eighteen swords, it is absolutely impossible for this mere relief to contain such profound martial arts.
Ruan Yuqing also felt that his guess was a bit outrageous.
Just for a moment, I couldn't figure out the key.
Sighing:
"A hundred years ago, Chu Nanfeng, the best master in the world, defeated the Demon Sect.
"Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records have been scattered around the world since then... In the past hundred years, there have been a series of murders.
"But I didn't expect that under the small post station of Qiuciyi, there is actually something related to the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Record.
"If what this Eternal No. 1 Sad said is not the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Record ...
"Could it be these eighteen reliefs, or one of the martial arts in the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records?"
Jiang Ran's expression suddenly became a little strange:
"I thought so too... It's just..."
The two people looked at each other and thought of the pattern carved on the relief, and felt a little unacceptable for a moment.
If their guess is true, then what price do you have to pay to practice this martial art?
'Heart-eating', 'bone-crushing', 'burning', 'fire-cooking', 'long needles piercing the brain', all kinds of miserable conditions.
Any of these tortures can cause death on the spot.
Who can really master this martial arts?
"This is absolutely impossible."
Jiang Ran struggled to the end and shook his head: "Besides, this is not in line with common sense at all."
Ruan Yuqing originally wanted to say, 'How can people of the Demon Sect use common sense to reason'.
But judging from others, I also feel that this possibility is very slim.
The two people speculated back and forth, and both felt that this matter was too ridiculous, so they stopped worrying about it and turned to look at the coffin.
Then I discovered that there was a stalagmite directly above the coffin.
On the stalagmites, there were faint traces of blood flowing down.
It happened to drip on the coffin, and it was like a blooming flower bud.
Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing looked at each other and slowly came to the coffin.
Looking closely, he discovered that there was a hole in the lid of the coffin.
"The blood is not meant to flow on the coffin, but to flow through the coffin and into the inside..."
Jiang Ran said to Ruan Yuqing,
"Miss Ruan, hold your breath for now."
Ruan Yuqing nodded immediately, Jiang Ran lifted it with one palm, and the lid of the coffin flew up immediately.
When the sky turned, the scene inside suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing.
Just looking at this scene, the two of them were surprised at the same time.
There were actually two corpses in this coffin.
One body was embedded in the lid of the coffin, with its limbs and head nailed with iron nails, and a shining orb in its mouth.
A drop of crystal liquid condensed on the orb. Before it fell, it flowed back into the corpse's mouth as Jiang Ran opened it.
In addition, there is another corpse in this coffin.
Although it was just a glimpse, the two of them could see that the corpse was short in stature and that it was a child who looked to be only seven or eight years old.
I don’t know if it’s because I was dazzled.
When Jiang Ran stared at the nailed corpse on the coffin lid, he found that the corpse... seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief.
