There was chaos in the hall.
Fire guns can't be fired in a row. Every time the gunpowder is fired, it has to be filled again, which takes a lot of time. The monster is agile and difficult to aim, and it will hurt people if it is not careful.
Sui Zhou had already fallen and was unconscious, so the command was naturally transferred to Pang Qi.
Taking advantage of the chance that the monster was stabbed in one eye, the remaining Jin Yiwei stood shoulder to shoulder and greeted the monster's belly with the weapons in their hands.
There was a coffin in the center of the hall. It was supposed to be the resting place of the owner of Gonghou's tomb. The lid on the coffin was so heavy that it might not be able to be pushed open with both hands on weekdays. To push, of course, motionless.
However, the scene was chaotic, and everyone was concentrating on dealing with the monster, and almost no one had time to pay attention to him.
The coffin was located in the center, and it was easy to be affected. However, since the candles on it were swept out, the light is now mainly concentrated on the discarded fire boxes. In order to be able to see the monster's weakness more clearly, everyone also Intentionally or unintentionally leading the monster there.
So it was cheaper for Li Man.
The two men who came in with Li Man had already died here.
One was used as a shield by Li Man, and the other was hooked into the chest by the monster's claws, and died on the spot.
Li Man obviously didn't take their lives to heart. He was pushing the lid of the coffin with his upper body wholeheartedly. The monster suddenly rushed in front of him, and he was sweating profusely.
However, almost no one cares, which does not mean no one at all.
Just as Li Man was struggling, his back was suddenly lifted up, and he fell directly next to the coffin.
"What do you want to do!"
The next moment, he was slapped heavily on the face, and half of his cheek was suddenly swollen into a pig's head, just like what he did to Tang Fan not long ago.
It's a causal cycle, and the retribution is unpleasant.
Li Man was furious, and after seeing the face of the other party, he turned his anger into joy, and said inarticulately: "Little brother, don't fight! Don't fight! You don't want to die, right! I have a way to escape, you Be quiet!"
Qian San'er looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly his face changed, he dragged him to the side, avoiding the tail wind swept by the tomb-suppressing beast.
Not only did the tail have scales, but it was also very thorny and strong. It was really no fun to be swept away.
Qian San'er pinned him in the corner, slapped him again, and said bitterly, "Aren't you very majestic just now, why are you wilting now! If it weren't for you, my master and the others would not have died!"
Li Man was dizzy because of the pumping, and he would have scolded him long ago, but at this moment he suppressed his anger and pulled out a twisted smile: "Your master, they are already dead, you are still alive, and you also want to Did you die here like them?"
Qian San'er: "There is a monster outside, how to escape!"
Li Man said: "There is a way, but you have to untie my ropes first!"
Don't look at how he pretended to be righteous in front of Tang Fan just now, saying that he is a student of the holy religion and died for the holy religion. The ants are still greedy for life. Will not let go.
Since he was afraid of death, how could he not have a back-up move after bringing the monster here
Now Tang Fan is busy checking Suizhou's injuries, and has no time to take care of it. Li Man has dealt with him several times, and he knows that the other party is a first-class smart person. He was just a fan of the authorities before, so he was careless and said, wait for Tang After pan-reacting, he will definitely puncture his little tricks, and then he will really die without a burial.
So Li Man must take advantage of this opportunity no matter what, run away first, and leave Tang Fan and the others to fight the tomb-suppressing beast.
He believes that with the ferocity of the tomb-suppressing beasts, they will be able to kill all these people here, and then they will try to transport their belongings out.
Qian San'er was a thief, not a man from the government. Li Man tempted him and felt that he was completely caught.
Li Man said to him: "You already know before, the altar master of the Henan branch of the White Lotus Sect is me, as long as you follow me out, you won't have to sneak around from now on, let alone be trampled by these imperial eagle dogs. , quick, untie my ropes!"
Qian San'er remained on guard, but her eyes gradually became tempted: "What's the way to go first?"
Li Man sneered secretly and said sincerely: "It's okay to tell you, that coffin has been hollowed out long ago, and there is a road from below that leads directly to Luohe, and then there will naturally be someone to pick us up!"
Qian San'er grabbed the placket of his clothes: "Don't lie to me, if the Luo River was connected to the tomb, the water would have already been poured in, and I won't be able to drink the water!"
Li Man: "Idiot, who told you that you are connected to the river!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped again, and his back molars were knocked out.
Qian San'er's eyes widened: "You fucking dare to scold me!"
Li Man: "…"
He swallowed his anger and said, "Little brother, I didn't lie to you, the other end is connected to the Luohe River, which is a little far from here, but it is safe."
Qian San'er was dubious: "Isn't that monster also swimming in from the river? Before I came in, I saw that the Luo River was about to rise again. What if the monster escaped and caught up with us?"
Li Man smiled grimly: "Have you forgotten that I have people outside, those two people are my confidants, I have already arranged them, as long as we leave, they will all die here, who cares. It's a human or a beast! I have already hidden a large amount of property from Gonghou's tomb, and you have seen those scattered before. How can the real property be compared with the light of the firefly bag! You just have to follow me Let's go together, and you will be rich and rich in the future, and there will be times when you can't enjoy it!"
Qian San'er snorted and nodded.
Li Man was anxious: "Now you can let me go!"
Qian San'er: "What does the firefly sac mean?"
Li Man almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.
He finally knew that this kid was playing with himself from the beginning to the end, maybe he was just trying to talk, and he didn't mean to release himself at all!
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to figure this out.
Qian San'er had long since taken out a dagger and stabbed him in the heart!
Li Man opened his eyes in disbelief.
He didn't understand until he died, why Qian San'er wanted to kill himself.
Qian San'er pulled the dagger out of Li Man's chest fiercely, and the blood of the other party's heart splashed on his face, which he wiped away with tears.
"...Master, I've finally avenged you!" Qian San'er murmured.
He stood up abruptly and shouted at Tang Fan and the others, "Master Tang, Li Man said that there is an exit to Luohe in the coffin, so you don't need to run out!"
When everyone heard this, they were all refreshed.
Originally, everyone thought that there was only one way out, but the door was blocked. Seeing that although they tried their best to kill the tomb-suppressing beast inside, there was still one outside, and they gradually became a little desperate.
But at this moment, Qian San'er's words gave them hope again.
Tang Fan shouted in a deep voice, "Pang Qi, don't love to fight, fight and retreat!"
In the hall, where the body of the tomb-suppressing beast swept away, it was mixed with the shrill screams it made, together with the whistling sound of the wind.
Although it was injured, other people couldn't stand it anymore. The tomb-suppressing beast that was about to receive the finished product outside had been waiting impatiently. Sharp fangs.
Pang Qi took time to turn around and shouted with all his might, "Sir, what's the matter with Big Brother!"
"I can't die!" Tang Fan threw Sui Zhou behind his back and ran to the coffin.
Qian San'er had already run over and pushed the coffin lid halfway open, revealing the wooden board inside.
He lifted the plank again, and sure enough, there was a dark hole underneath.
Qian San'er was overjoyed, turned around and shouted to Tang Fan and the others, "Master Tang, you can go down here, Li Man didn't lie to us!"
"Go!" Tang Fan gave an order, and everyone gradually began to move towards the center of the hall.
The two tomb-suppressing beasts also seemed to have discovered their intentions, and they rushed towards them with a fierce and fierce wind, especially the injured one became more and more crazy, and its attack power was a bit stronger than before. Pang Qi The others were gradually unable to resist, and another Jin Yiwei couldn't dodge, and was directly bitten in the throat.
Pang Qi's eyes were red, but he had no choice. The fighting power of the two sides was not on the same level at all.
At this time, there was a loud bang in the distance, and even the ground under their feet shook with trembling, making everyone almost unable to stand.
The two tomb-suppressing beasts were originally going to attack everyone, but they stopped for a while after being frightened.
Tang Fan's face changed slightly. He finally knew Li Man's plan, but he didn't have time to say more, so he could only say loudly, "Come on! I'm afraid this place will collapse soon!"
Qian San'er went down the hole first, then turned around to meet Tang Fan.
Tang Fan sent Sui Zhou down first, and shouted to Pang Qi, "Let's go quickly!"
Pang Qi also wanted to kill the monster while it was injured, but after the other one came in, he found out that this was an impossible task, so he had to give up and retreated all the way to the vicinity of the coffin.
Taking advantage of the chance that the tomb-suppressing beast was frightened, the group moved to the hole in the coffin one after another.
At this time, the tremors of the entire tomb became more and more severe, and cracks appeared in the walls and the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye. There was a loud bang after another, so far and near, that almost even the eardrums were shattered.
The two tomb-suppressing beasts were startled and started running around. Seeing Tang Fan and the others evacuating one by one, they could not help but screamed and wanted to catch up. Stop their coming, and then cover his shoulders and drill into the coffin.
Behind him, along with a loud rumbling sound, the stone wall of the main hall was blown apart and collapsed, and the stone above his head fell down together, pressing heavily on the coffin, completely isolating the terrifying cry of the tomb-suppressing beast.
In the long and narrow corridor, everyone's breathing sounded one after another, almost filling their ears.
The sound of the explosion seemed to be far away, but the underground tunnel was also affected, and the tremors were constant, and there were still gravel falling from the top of the head.
"Come on, if it's too late, this place might collapse!" Tang Fan urged everyone to walk faster.
Qian San'er walked in front with Suizhou on his back, while Tang Fan helped take care of him in the back.
Before, because of Suizhou's protection, he was not seriously injured, but small and scattered injuries were indispensable. In addition, his physical strength was severely exhausted, and his face was not much better than others.
To be precise, if it wasn't for a thought at the moment, he would have fallen long ago.
But no one would think that Tang Fan, who doesn't know martial arts, is a burden, because if it wasn't for his advance planning, there would only be fewer people who could go here now.
The White Lotus Sect has put a lot of effort into thinking about this place. This tunnel is much higher and wider than that of Qian San'er and the others. It is not very difficult to walk. Gonghou's tomb was eyeing the tiger, so he started to attack, but it was only because the property had to be transferred in advance before the tomb could be blown up, so it has been delayed until now.
Unfortunately, they ran into two groups of people, Qian San'er and Tang Fan. In the end, they were killed, and even Li Man himself was buried in it. As the saying goes, the agency's calculations are too clever, and they have mistaken their own lives, but that is the case.
Qian San'er had already told Tang Fan what Li Man said before his death. Since Li Man's words were true and false, he played with him all day long, and before he died, he concealed the fact that gunpowder was buried in Gonghou's tomb. Take the opportunity to trick them and blow them up together with the tomb-suppressing beast.
Just at this point, Tang Fan didn't dare to completely believe his words.
However, Li Man said that the corridor leads to the outside, and someone else responded to this matter, which should be true.
Because of Li Man's selfish personality, that batch of property must be placed under his own eyes before he can rest assured, so it is impossible for him to let his accomplices run away with the property first.
In the process of walking forward, Tang Fan would check Sui Zhou's pulse from time to time, and he felt relieved when he found that there was still beating under his fingers.
The group didn't know how long they had walked, but Qian San'er suddenly stopped: "Sir, it seems that there is an exit ahead."
He put Suizhou down, walked over, reached out and touched it, turned back and whispered, "It seems that something is holding him down."
Tang Fan motioned for everyone to keep silent and asked Qian San'er to come over to take care of Suizhou. He went to the position where Qian San'er was standing just now and groped around.
It is indeed the end here, and the only exit is up there.
Tang Fan groped for the thing that was pressing the outlet, tapped it again, and put his hand under his nose to smell it.
"The top is a box, and it should be filled with clothes." He said.
"How do you know it's a box for clothes?" Qian San'er was taken aback.
Tang Fan: "The wood is pear wood. Usually no one uses such wood to store debris, so it's just a box. If the contents are too heavy, it will be difficult for Li Man and the others to get out, and I also smelled it just now. After that, the smell of camphor balm remains on it, and it must be used to place things that are easily eaten by insects, so it can only be used for clothes."
Qian San'er was so full of admiration that he touched it for a long time just now, but he didn't find anything.
Listening to Tang Fan now, I feel a sudden realization.
Looking at Pang Qi and the others again, it was obvious that they had long been accustomed to Master Tang's insightful and subtle wisdom.
Tang Fan didn't know that he had another admirer, so he helped Suizhou up, adjusted a comfortable position for him, so that he could lean on his arms, and then said to the others: "It should be from the White Lotus Sect outside. A stronghold, when I was walking just now, I carefully paid attention to it. According to this distance and direction, the house should be located in the suburbs. But what is uncertain is whether there are any people from the White Lotus Sect outside, and if so, there are others. How many."
Affected by the gunpowder in Gonghou's tomb, the corridor kept smashing stones down, and the vibration became stronger and stronger. I don't know how much powerful gunpowder Li Man's group buried in the tomb to have it. this effect.
Everyone endured the suffocating breath, and it was not an easy task to stay in such a corridor that was in danger of collapsing at any time.
Many people lost too much blood, and they were already on the verge of swaying. More serious, like Sui Zhou, who was in a coma, could only be supported by a companion who was less injured.
It is estimated that this group of domineering Jinyiwei has never encountered such an embarrassing situation since entering the Beizhen Fusi.
More than 20 people came in, but now there are only seventeen or eight people left in this corridor.
But compared to Li Man's tragic situation, it seems that this is already considered a good thing.
The dead are gone, but the living must continue to work hard to live.
Pang Qi couldn't help saying: "Sir, rush out, there may be a way to survive!"
However, Tang Fan shook his head: "No, you cut the box open along the outline of the hole with an embroidered spring knife, if there are clothes inside, there will be no movement when it falls, you can take a little cover then, and after a little observation Do it again."
Pang Qi felt that this method was too unmanly, and couldn't help protesting: "Why is it so troublesome, many of us can't last long now, and the longer we delay, the smaller the odds of winning!"
Tang Fan blocked all the protests with just one sentence: "Guangchuan handed you over to me, and I will try to keep as many people alive as possible."
———
This is a small abandoned village on the banks of the Luo River.
One year, the Luo River flooded and flooded the small village, and none of the crops were spared. The villagers gradually moved out of the place. Over time, except for a few broken houses, no one lived here.
Wu Laosi has been here for almost half a year.
But he was not the first person to come here. When he came here, it was already crowded.
The white lotus cultivator, who has the same identity as him, was ordered to dress up as a villager who came here to settle down, got a few boats, fished at sunrise every day, and rested at sunset.
The only difference is that they have to watch carefully, and keep an eye out for suspicious people prying nearby.
As for the purpose of waiting, and when they will be able to leave, Wu Lao Si has no idea.
That's not something that congregants of their level can understand.
Two months after he and his companions came here, several people came one after another. Among them, a charming young woman, surrounded by people around, entered the village, which was the best kept, and never stopped. The house where Wu Lao Si and the others were allowed to approach.
Wu Laosi and his companions have guessed the identity of the young woman in private more than once, with a wretched tone that only men can understand. They all feel that the young woman must be a very important figure in the church, maybe the lady of the altar. .
No matter what the identity of the other party is, these have nothing to do with them. Wu Lao Si and others couldn't even say a word to the woman, and since the woman came to the house, she has always lived in a secluded place, and people outside come and go. , often came in and out of that room, but the woman rarely came out.
Therefore, Wu Laosi and the others have various versions of speculation that are more obscene.
The sunset today is gorgeous and beautiful, not much different from other times.
Wu Laosi was already tired of seeing this kind of scenery. He lazily pulled the boat to the shore, while following his habit, he carefully paid attention to whether there were any suspicious strangers nearby.
Business as usual.
Wu Laosi couldn't remember how long he hadn't been in the cellar. If he could, he would have thrown away the small broken boat under his feet and went directly to the city to find a few girls to fight the fire.
But no, he was ordered to stay here, and he was not allowed to leave without an order.
Why on earth did they have to stay in this broken place!
Wu Lao Si was both curious and a little resentful, but he had neither the qualifications nor the courage to go to the hall master to talk about it. These thoughts could only be turned around in his mind. The fish, which were not much bigger in shrimp, shook out, and said hello to the companions of the docked boat next to them.
The companion lowered his voice and said, "Come to my place tonight, I'll get a bottle of wine!"
When Wu Laosi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
But the next second, not far away, from that mysterious room, came a scream!
It's that young woman's voice!
Wu Laosi was startled and looked at his companions subconsciously.
As ordinary believers, their skills are also very average. Unlike the upper class, Wu Lao Si does not want to rebel, and he has no idea of "dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky". The original intention of his joining the White Lotus Sect was very simple, just to have a A strong backer is enough to eat on the rivers and lakes.
Such people are often the most practical and most eye-catching.
When the accident happened in that hut, what Wu Lao Si and his companions thought was not to rush to rescue, but how to escape.
Immediately afterwards, they were stunned to see the most unforgettable scene in their lives.
More than a dozen people dressed in flying fish suits and armed with embroidered spring knives rushed out of the hut and attacked the disciples who also rushed towards the hut like flying eagles!
and many more!
They had clearly seen two or three people in the room before, all of them were the head of the local branch of the White Lotus Sect, and their status was very important.
Can that house be transformed into a living person? !
Seeing that the two men and horses were smashed into a ball, Wu Lao Si and his companions looked at each other, hesitating whether to go up to help, or to run away when the situation was not good.
They soon discovered that although the Jinyiwei looked fierce, after killing the masters in the house, they gradually began to lose their strength.
"Fourth, what do you think, do you want to go over and help?" The companion came over.
"Don't go, you didn't see that none of the hall masters in the room came out, they must have been killed! Those are Jin Yiwei, maybe something big happened in the church, and the life is important, let's not mix it up, hurry up and look for opportunities Slip away!" Wu Lao Si said without even thinking.
The companions think about it too. To be honest, they have saved a lot of private houses in the past few years. They have long been willing to leave the White Lotus Sect, but because of the strict rules, they have never had the opportunity. , but they have no interest in devoting themselves to the holy religion.
As soon as the two of them came together, they sneaked away in the chaos, and flew away to the south to start a small business, marry a wife and have children, which is another story.
Besides, at the hut, the mysterious young woman that Wu Lao Si and the others saw every day was actually the concubine Chen Shi who Li Man brought back to Li's house that day and claimed to have taken him outside, and was also the Bai Lian Tang Fan later met on the outskirts of the capital. The elder sister of Jiu Niangzi, the head teacher's messenger.
No one would have thought that in this deserted village, there was a tunnel leading to Gonghou's tomb at the lower end of Yonghou Mausoleum, and the entrance to that tunnel was in the house guarded by the Chen family.
After Chen gave birth to a son for Li Man, she left the child to be raised by a nearby farmer, while she herself guarded the hut and a large number of treasures that Li Man and the others had transferred from Gonghou's tomb.
Because the appointment date has long passed, but Li Man and the others have not come out. Chen shi was afraid of the tomb-suppressing beast in the tomb, and did not dare to go there to find it. After waiting for a few days, he decided that Li Man and the others had died in the tomb Inside, I couldn't help but have the idea of stealing the treasure.
Chen was dissolute by nature, and was originally different from a woman from a good family. After he hooked up with Li Man, he restrained his nature a little, but after all, Li Man was already in the year of destiny. compared to young people.
Now that Li Man is probably dead, Chen shi no longer has any scruples, and deliberately seduces several of his altar masters.
She is graceful and graceful, and after going back and forth, there is no man who can't be hooked, so when Tang Fan and the others discovered this place, Chen shi actually flirted with those men on the bed, and I don't know what day it is today.
Li Man reckoned that he didn't even know that his woman was hanging out with other men in the blink of an eye.
In addition to being stunned, it was cheap for Pang Qi and others. While several people were fighting on the bed, Pang Qi and others jumped out, and Chen's adulterers were killed on the bed before they could react. .
In order to catch Chen's life, Pang Qi and the others were negligent, which gave her the opportunity to scream, attracting the white lotus followers outside.
The two sides soon fought, and the battle was fierce, with swords, lights, swords and shadows on the scene, blood splashing everywhere.
The gang of White Lotus believers outside Lulu should not have been their opponents, but Pang Qi and the others used up too much physical strength before, and they couldn't do their best in the fight, which seemed to be tied.
Tang Fan's skills are not good, so of course he can't go up and join in to drag his legs, he can only watch on the side.
He patted Qian San'er on the shoulder: "You did a great job today, thanks to you!"
Qian San'er was a little flattered. Since he was a child, he followed his master to do all sorts of tricks and tricks, and it was all against the government. He was able to get a compliment from the imperial commission for a few times, and he was so excited that he couldn't find Bei.
"Big, big, adults praise, small is really ashamed!"
Seeing him so excited, a smile appeared on Tang Fan's tired face: "You are not fooled by Li Man, and you follow him, this is enough to prove that you are not a bad person, and your master is gone, stop doing those shitty things, night If you walk a lot, you will always encounter ghosts, and when you go back, just find a decent job!"
Qian San'er suddenly knelt down to Tang Fan: "Xiao has long wanted to do those black hearted deeds, but apart from those, Xiao can't do anything, please show me a clear path for the villain!"
The man crawled along the pole immediately. Tang Fan didn't feel disgusted, but felt that he was very clever, and his heart was not bad.
Seeing him say this, Qian San'er knew that Tang Fan agreed, and was overjoyed immediately, bang bang bang banged Tang Fan three times.
Unexpectedly, the kowtow was too hard, and the fierce battle between the two sides in front failed to wake Suizhou. The sound of Qian Saner's forehead touching the ground made Suizhou frown.
Tang Fan noticed the movement of the person in his arms, looked down, and said with great joy, "Guangchuan, you're awake, it's okay!"
Sui Zhou slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was Tang Fan's expression full of concern and anxiety.
Suizhou: "Pfft!"
Tang Fan: "..."
What is this reaction? Stupid your brain
He couldn't help reaching out to probe the other's forehead, and his eyes met Sui Zhou's smiling eyes.
Master Tang seemed to have forgotten that he was slapped by Li Man before, which made his swollen face swollen to one side at the moment, and the image of Junya was replaced by a pig's head placed on the god's table. As soon as Zhou saw that face, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
However, after laughing, his heart became softer and softer. He stared at Tang Fan, and slowly only one thought remained in his mind.
Luckily this guy is fine.
So even if you are seriously injured, it is worth it.
"...Where's Li Man?" Sui Zhou asked in a hoarse voice.
"Dead, killed by Qian San'er." Tang Fan said.
Qian San'er was shy and wanted to say a few words of modesty, but Sui Zhou didn't even look at him.
At this moment, the square-inch world in his eyes can only accommodate the next person.
The eyes of the two were entangled for a while, with a certain ambiguity that even Tang Fan didn't notice.
Then, witnessed by Qian San'er, Master Tang, whose face was as thick as the walls of the Great Wall, actually blushed slowly.
Wait, why does it seem a little weird...
But what's so strange
Qian San'er was puzzled.
After racking his brains for a long time, he didn't realize the option of "I am redundant".
