As my feet moved back and forth in the flames, my voice began to get higher and higher, and the roar from my mouth was like a sharp arrow piercing the clouds. The sound moved in the sky, and the surroundings of the pagoda suddenly changed color, and a strong wind suddenly rose.
I couldn't help being slightly stunned, and my feet couldn't help but slow down by half a minute. ,
I didn’t put anything on my feet that could prevent fire. I was able to jump on the flames only because I was fast enough. Now I suddenly stopped, and the jumping flames instantly burned my ankles, and I almost fell off the wire. After falling down, he quickly stabilized his body and stepped onto the tightrope again.
When I raised my head again, there was already a violent storm near the Tiger Hill Tower. The candles on the tower were pulled in one direction by the wind, but none of them went out.
I couldn't help but jump off the wire and stood in front of the tower with my hands behind my back. Ye Xun quickly put on the golden wolf mask and asked quickly: "Do you know shamanism?"
I faced Huqiu Pagoda without moving: "Don't you know whether I know shamanism? Where did you buy the candle?"
"Just bought randomly on the roadside." Ye Xun also doubted: "Can the quality of candles nowadays be so good?"
Ordinary candles, even if they were made as thick as an arm, would not be able to survive ten seconds in such a wind speed, but the candles all over the tower had lasted for more than a minute, and none of them had been extinguished.
I was staring closely at the candles on the tower when a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. The entire Tiger Hill Mountain flickered on and off under the light of lightning. Countless bizarre images flashed and moved in the mountains and fields, like thousands of demons breaking through. The barrier between yin and yang comes from the netherworld.
In the next moment, heavy rain poured down from the sky, covering the mountains. Just a moment later, most of the fire beside me was extinguished by the rain. It was only a matter of time before it was completely extinguished.
But all the candles stood upright in the heavy rain and did not move at all. Even if a raindrop fell into the candle, or at most a candle flower exploded, it could not shake the jumping flame.
At this time, even I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
If I didn't know how much I weigh, I would have to believe that it was my own actions that caused the gods to descend. Otherwise, how could I explain everything in front of me
While I was standing in front of the sky full of candles, dumbfounded, Ye Xun suddenly whispered: "Look at the Thousand Blood Stones!"
I suddenly turned around and looked at the Thousand People Stone near Sword Pond. The entire stone had changed color in the heavy rain. The entire stone seemed to have been washed away by human blood, with a dazzling bright red everywhere from top to bottom.
The heavy rain stirred up smoke on the rocks, steaming into the sky, and purple-brown figures slowly emerged on the Thousand People Stone, as if there were countless innocent souls kneeling on the rocks, wailing loudly, and trying to break out of the rocks. .
Just when I felt my scalp was numbing, the heavy rain in the sky seemed to have received some kind of order and stopped suddenly at the moment when it was the most violent.
I looked at the tower in shock. Rows of rainwater mixed with dust were slowly flowing down from around the Tiger Hill Pagoda. The bricks and tiles on the tower were washed fresh by the rain. The heavy rain just now seemed to be specially designed to clean the Tiger Hill Pagoda to welcome someone. A ceremony held to celebrate the arrival of a god.
The next moment, the candle standing on the top of the tower suddenly went out. When the green smoke from the extinguished candle flame curled into the air like a ribbon, the originally dark red candle lost its red makeup in a moment and turned into a pale color.
I couldn't help but look at Ye Xun, but he threw out a remaining red candle from his bag.
White wax is not used when offering incense. It is impossible for Ye Xun to buy white wax, but who has ever seen red wax turn white
As Ye Xun and I looked at each other, the lights on the tower went out again.
that's all
The candle flame, which had been unfazed by the weather just now, extinguished one layer downwards every once in a while;
The Thousand-Human Stone, whose figure had just emerged, returned to its original state, like an innocent soul returning to the underworld;
The light and shadow that were dancing wildly on the mountains just now have long since disappeared, and everything in the mountains and fields is completely silent.
Everything on Huqiu Mountain seemed to be dormant in an instant, waiting for the devil to come.
I was looking up at the candlelight on the tower in a daze when suddenly gunshots were heard near us, and several bullets that flew through the air blew away the candles on the tower in the blink of an eye.
When I turned to where the gunshots came from, gunshots erupted one after another nearby. At that moment, at least a dozen people were hiding nearby and shooting at the candles on the tower. The candles were shot into the sky by bullets. , Ye Xun and I ran towards both sides of Huqiu Tower at the same time.
Before the two of us could rush to the vicinity of our opponent, we suddenly saw two figures flying towards the Tiger Hill Tower and rushing towards the gate.
"Not good!" Ye Xun and I took action at the same time, pointed at the backs of the two of them and pulled the trigger.
Although I don’t know which force the two people who suddenly jumped out belong to, one thing I know is very clear, that is, the other party does not want me to succeed in spiritual enlightenment, or in other words, they plan to forcefully break through the Huqiu Tower to see what is going on. There is no such thing as enlightenment.
No matter from which aspect, I have to prevent the opponent from entering the tower.
But as soon as I raised the gun in my hand, the two people had already rushed to the entrance of Huqiu Tower.
Before I could pull the trigger, two rays of sword light shot out from the gate of Huqiu Tower. The cold light that broke through the door only shot two feet before being stained with a layer of blood.
I clearly saw two rays of sword light passing through the throats of the two people in no particular order. The Huqiu Tower also opened its door in an instant. Xia Qingqing, holding a long sword in one hand, walked through the door. Nei stepped out and stood proudly between the two corpses.
When Xia Qingqing glanced around the Huqiu Tower with cold eyes, she only said two words, "Death". The faint sound in the nearby grass suddenly stopped in an instant. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my body, and I looked at the other party cautiously.
The moment Xia Qingqing looked at me, she fell limply to the ground.
I pushed Ye Xun and said, "Tell people to seal off the scene. No matter who is nearby, no one can be let go."
When Ye Xun sent out the order, I rushed to Xia Qingqing and dragged her into the tower.
Even though Xia Qingqing was unconscious, she still clutched the long sword tightly in her hand.
It took a lot of effort for me to finally take the sword out of her hand. At this time, Ye Xun also followed into the tower from outside: "How is it?"
I looked at the long sword carefully and said, "This is the ancient sword Panying from the Spring and Autumn Period."
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "Isn't Pan Ying buried with King Wu in his tomb? How did he end up in Xia Qingqing's hands?"
According to legend, the three thousand swords buried with King Wu included two famous swords: Panying and Yuchang.
Just as I was about to speak, I heard heavy footsteps coming from outside the tower - a large number of soldiers surrounded the Tiger Hill Tower. Someone knocked on the door and said: "Chief, a total of sixteen corpses were found outside."
"Everyone move in!" I opened the door and said one word, then closed the door and never came out of the tower again.
The troops guarding the outside blocked off Huqiu Mountain until the next morning, and then began to mobilize manpower to pump water out of the sword pool. Until the sword pool was mostly empty, Ye Xun and I still didn't show up.
Feng Qianli, who was waiting outside to observe the situation from a distance, finally couldn't sit still anymore and quietly sent someone to snatch away a soldier in charge of guarding the tower.
Feng Qianli didn't dare to kill anyone, but he was able to use the Wugui Sect's secret medicine to find out the other person's secrets.
After some questioning, Feng Qianli's expression quickly changed: "I was fooled. Wang Huan was trying to escape from his shell to find Bai Wuchang."
Feng Qianli found Bai Wuchang immediately and said, "I want to cooperate with you."
Bai Wuchang looked at Feng Qianli with cold eyes: "The Detective is not going to cooperate with the Wugui Sect, please do it!"
Feng Qianli said coldly: "Could it be that the Detective would rather watch Wang Huan take away the secret of beauty than cooperate with us?"
Bai Wuchang sneered: "Wang Huan doesn't have that ability."
"But Wang Huan has left, and he is not in Huqiu Tower." Feng Qianli said angrily: "You still don't understand, is Wang Huan smarter than you?"
Bai Wuchang looked at the other party and said, "Where else could he be if he wasn't in the Tiger Hill Tower? Is it the Lingxiao Palace?"
Feng Qianli suppressed his anger and said: "I have extracted the secret from an officer's mouth. All our people died by the sword that night. The fatality of each corpse is in the throat, killing with one sword, without any delay."
"And there were no traces left at the scene. Unless someone stood on the blades of grass and drew a sword, no matter how powerful the opponent was, there would be no clues left behind."
Although Bai Wuchang's expression changed, he said, "What does this mean?"
"On behalf of Wang Huan, Qiling succeeded." Feng Qianli said angrily: "Apart from the ghosts he brought back, what else can kill so many of our masters in a row without leaving any traces?"
Feng Qianli said again: "Moreover, I got the news that Wang Huan sent someone to secretly return an ancient sword to the research institute. That sword is called Zhuanzhu. Whose burial object is Zhuanzhu sword? Xia Qingqing led Who is the soul of Wang Huan and where did Wang Huan and Jin Chan escape from the shell? Think about it yourself?"
Feng Qianli asked three questions in succession, and Bai Wuchang was speechless. After a while, Bai Wuchang called someone. After giving a few instructions in a low voice, Bai Wuchang also put on a smile as the latter walked away quickly: "Brother Feng, you've come a long way, why don't you sit down and have a glass of wine? Come on, serve the wine! I'll Brother Hefeng, have a nice drink."
Of course, Feng Qianli had no intention of drinking. He touched the wine glass lightly and sat there without talking. Fortunately, not long after, the people sent by Bai Wuchang rushed back and whispered a few words in his ear.
Bai Wuchang's face changed slightly and he said: "Brother Feng's judgment is correct. Wang Huan is not in the Huqiu Tower. I agree to cooperate with you. However, you must bear the responsibility for killing Wang Huan."
"Haha..." Feng Qianli sneered: "What benefits can your detective hand give us? Let me take on such a big responsibility?"
Bai Wuchang asked: "What is the context of a restricted area?"
Feng Qianli's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is this true?"
Bai Wuchang opened his hand and showed it to the other person. He was obviously holding something in his hand: "If you don't believe me, you should believe him."
Feng Qianli slammed the table: "It's done! Let's leave now to intercept and kill Wang Huan."
