Chapter 104
With the two of them escorted, Situ Qian and the Guizhai troops continued to move forward with Xiao Hong. After driving for nearly an hour, everyone did not stop at all and moved forward at full speed.
The old woman was frightened all the way. Once they found the dead person, she had no chance of survival. The old man in the inn did not come forward and had never seen Situ Xue, so he naturally did not understand the key. Seeing the old woman's face was frightened, she did not know why and said: "
What are you afraid of? You'll probably die. Besides, aren't we dead yet? We haven't seen strong winds and langs, so what do we have to be afraid of?"
The old woman opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She knew that once she said it, there would be no hope of survival.
When approaching the inn, Xiaohong quickly flew over and circled anxiously around the ruins. Looking at the large pit that collapsed on the roadside, everyone looked at the two being held in horror, trying to figure out what the two people were doing.
There are flaws in his face.
"Tell me, what happened here?"
The old man smiled mockingly, stared at everyone fiercely, and said nothing. Seeing that the two of them were already like lambs to be slaughtered and still being so cruel, and then thinking about the brother who had just died tragically, the little guy next to him slapped him,
Staring at the old man, he asked: "You old man, if you don't tell me, if you don't tell me, I will leave you in the mountains to feed the wolves."
Although the young man's kung fu was not high, he slapped him so hard that blood spilled from the corner of the old man's mouth. "Bah" he spat out the blood in his mouth and bumped his head against the young man's body, almost hitting him.
"Hmph, let me see how long you can last?" A few people gathered around and started kicking. Anyone who doesn't have a few lives on his hands is a master who doesn't care about his life. It's natural to fight someone.
Don't be soft-hearted.
Situ Qian stood aside and acquiesced that everyone was doing it. When he saw that it was almost done, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death, and he didn't have to ask, so he shouted: "Stop." The old man was already dying and was about to die. Situ Qian walked up and said: "What if I did it?"
The information is good, the inn you are in is a formation that was most popular during the Warring States Period. It was built on the border between the two countries to trap and kill the enemy."
Hearing what Situ Qian said, the old man looked confused, wondering why Situ Qian knew this at such a young age. Knowing his doubts, Situ Qian continued: "My father is a general. I have been familiar with the art of war since I was a child, so I naturally understand this. Now
You can tell me your purpose of causing this formation."
"You are just a little girl. When I was roaming the world, you were still in your mother's womb. There is no way you can make me surrender." The old man said with great disdain.
"If you agree to let me and my wife go, maybe I will sue you when I am happy."
Xiaohong's unusual behavior made Situ Qian feel uneasy, wondering what was going on. Hearing what the old man said, he was a little shaken.
The old man was a mature thing. He watched Situ Qian's actions carefully, and then he said seductively: "The purpose of triggering this array is to kill people. I promise that they will never be from your ghost village. Why do you need to embarrass me over this?"
"Okay, I promise you."
"That's right, I have a way for you to go down below. You will understand after seeing it."
As soon as the old man agreed, the old woman became anxious and hurriedly winked at the old man. However, the old man knew it well and ignored it at all. Situ Qian was anxious and urged the old man to take action. The old man said with a smile: "Now I am the fish and meat, and you are the swordsman.
If you don’t keep your word then, I won’t be able to do anything to you?”
The old man was so cunning, Situ Qian had no choice but to raise her hand and swear: "I, Situ Qian, swear to God, if what this man says is true, I will let him and his wife go. If not, the sky will strike with thunder."
"Now the shopkeeper is satisfied, but in order to prevent you from playing tricks, your lady will stay up there. If you mess up, you will kill her in an instant."
The old man took everyone to a big tree in the inn, pointed in the east direction and said: "This is it. Dig it and you can go down."
The soil above was dug up, and a huge bluestone slab was exposed underneath, with an iron cable attached to it. It was already rusty from being buried in the soil. Dozens of people worked together to pull the bluestone slab apart, revealing a passage.
"Fortress leader, let me take people down." Judge Bi said.
As soon as the passage opened, Xiao Hong swooped in and flew in. Seeing Xiao Hong in such a hurry, Situ Qian said: "No need, you guard the outside. If we can't get out, we will feed the old woman to the wolves."
Knowing that no one could change Situ Qian's decision, Yuan Kai clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, village leader, if this old guy dares to mess around, I will chop his wife alive." He glared at the old man fiercely.
Xiao Hong was chirping and urging in the cave. In order to prevent hidden weapons, everyone pushed Yuan Kai forward and asked him to lead the way. Everyone carefully followed behind with torches.
Walking down the steps, an imperceptible cold smile appeared on the old man's face. As he walked, the old man pretended to accidentally sway his body and fell forward. Situ Qian subconsciously took a step forward, reached out to grab it, and listened to his footsteps.
There was a "click" sound and he stepped on the mechanism. The old man lay down on the ground, sticking tightly to the ground.
As soon as the mechanism was activated, the crossbow inside the wall was triggered, and "whoosh" rain arrows shot out from inside. Those who had no time to avoid were stabbed into hedgehogs by the sharp arrows. Situ Qian's soft sword was in hand, and he could barely resist the flying arrows.
Xiaohong flapped her wings to avoid the flying arrow in the narrow passage.
There were more and more flying arrows, and Situ Qian shouted behind him: "Get down." There were not many survivors. Looking at the bodies of their dead companions, everyone looked at the old man in front of them with fire in their eyes. The arrows slowly
After he weakened, he got angry and got up ready to go up and kill the old man.
Looking at the angry crowd, the old man turned around and smiled sinisterly. Situ Qian secretly said: "It's not good." He pulled the man who had just stood up to the ground. Sure enough, he had already untied the rope on the old man's body, and his hands
He picked up a stone and threw it down the downhill passage. Suddenly, arrows were flying everywhere in the passage.
Everyone was suppressed by the flying arrows and had no choice but to do anything to the old man. The old man was obviously familiar with the passage. He climbed up to the wall and suddenly bumped into it. A passage appeared on the wall. The old man put his hands on the ground and rushed in quickly.
Just when his feet left the entrance of the cave, an iron fence with spikes fell down. If anyone who didn't know the mystery hesitated for a moment, he would definitely be cut in half.
When the old man hid in, the arrows had stopped flying, and the walls on both sides were full of arrows. Everyone got up carefully. The old man stayed on the fence and was not in a hurry to leave, waiting for everyone to get up with a smile on his face.
.
"Why? Aren't you afraid that we will kill your wife?" Situ Qian said with a cold face.
The old man was on the other side of the fence, knowing that no one could do anything to him, so he said proudly: "Humph, it's a joke. Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. Haven't you heard of it?"
"I have sworn to let you go, do you have to do this?"
"Bah, I swear, I made many oaths back then. If they had come true, I would have turned into ashes long ago. How could I believe you? Besides, I spent the first half of my life burning, killing, looting, and never blinking an eye at murder. How many people in the Jianghu and the imperial court want to
My life has allowed me to escape death several times, just because of my ruthlessness."
