Qinglongtang exploded the gate of the village under the leadership of Xing Anping, and everyone rushed in, and suddenly heard a loud noise, followed by countless boulders flying out of the village, and smashed straight towards the people of Qinglongtang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao Han shouted sharply: "Retreat quickly." Before the words fell, dozens of boulders fell, smashing more than a dozen people in Qinglong Hall into pulp. The rest of the people hurriedly withdrew, and even the five factions of men and horses retreated one after another, hugging the edge of the entrance.

If the boulder is smashed at this time, everyone has no way to hide, and there will be heavy casualties, Xiao Han was just about to order to retreat into the cave, and he heard Chai Xinyue say: "Don't panic, the stone can't fly." ”

Murong Qiuyu followed: "It's a pity that those dozen brothers. Xing Anping was almost smashed, and fled back with Rui Yinglang, Zuoqiu Feihong, Wu Heqia, and Zhang Zhengwen, the four helmsmen, but fortunately the five of them were fine, but when they thought of the dozen or so disciples who were killed and injured, all five of them had blood-red eyes.

Lu Qin frowned and said, "Did you alarm the internal organs when you blew up the door just now?" Why didn't anyone come out inside?" Cui Mao followed: "Don't panic, everyone, listen to Sect Master Xiao's orders." ”

The disciples of the five sects gradually quieted down, and the disciples of Wudang were already disciplined, although their faces were sad, no one squeaked.

Xiao Han saw that the stone only hit the left and right of the village gate, and did not hit the outside at all, let alone hear the voices of the people in the village, it is estimated that Chai Xinyue and they were right, it must have been the mechanism that moved when the door was blown up just now, which triggered the stone throwing machine in the village, and suddenly caused him to lose more than ten people.

Chai Xinyue saw that his face was not good, and said softly: "I'll take a look." Just as she was about to leave, Xiao Han immediately stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "Don't move, I'll go." Li Yueying was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'll go too." Murong Qiuyu didn't speak, but just stepped forward and showed his attitude.

Lu Qin saw that the stones were no longer falling, and took a step forward and said, "Sect Master Xiao, this faction is willing to take the lead and enter the village to explore again." Xiao Han shook his head and said, "What if there is an ambush inside?" Lu Qin said in a deep voice: "As long as you send someone to cut down some pine and cypress branches for cover, don't easily touch the mechanism inside, it should be fine." With a wave of his hand and an order, the disciples of the Seven Star Mountain Villa borrowed the ghost head big knives of the disciples of the Beidou Pavilion and ran to both sides to cut down the trees.

Xiao Han knew that Lu Qin was unwilling to let him get into danger, so he was grateful in his heart, and nodded: "You have to be careful, don't break in." Lu Qin nodded and said, "Sect Master rest assured. ”

Shen Zidu and Zuo Longxing stood far away, their faces expressionless. Xiao Han thought that the two would volunteer, but he didn't expect that neither of them squeaked, but just looked at Zhuangmen coldly.

These old monsters are all living to be human beings, and it is even more difficult to use them. Xiao Han sighed secretly, turned his head and ordered Chu Tianshu to take people down to help cut down the tree.

After the preparation was completed, the disciples of the Seven Star Mountain Villa were all holding pine branches and spears in their right hands, and slowly entered the village under the leadership of Lu Qin. Everyone stared blankly, and the field was silent.

Lu Qin took the lead, stepping into the village cautiously, not daring to move those Wudang disciples who were smashed into flesh, but just bypassing them and the ground full of stones, the pine branch in his left hand blocked in front of him, and the spear in his right hand carefully tested the land in the village.

The dozens of disciples behind him were like him, taking every step extremely carefully. Everyone was relieved to see that although they were walking slowly, they were safe and sound, and there was still no one in the village, presumably no one.

Seeing that the Seven Star Villa walked into the village under the leadership of Lu Qin, Xiao Han waved his hand and ordered the White Tiger Hall to follow, and Jin Yushu took the White Dragon Helmsman Shui Chenglang, the White Horse Helmsman Shan Wenhao, the White Elephant Helmsman Xiong Zhize, the White Black Helmsman Ning Hongcai and a group of disciples slowly walked into the village.

The disciples of the Qinglong Hall followed forward to move away the boulders, and removed the dead bodies to one place, and the disciples of the Xuanwu Hall cut down the branches, put the dead bodies on them, and prepared to be cremated after everyone entered the village. The two people entered the village safely, everyone was at peace, Qinglong Hall and Xuanwu Hall followed in, and the four factions followed, Xiao Han brought Li Yueying and others in the end, and left several disciples of Qingfeng Hall to guard the door.

The enemy lost more than a dozen men without seeing it, and everyone was terrified, and every step was taken with extreme care. Xiao Han saw a straight street in this village, planted with trees on both sides, and behind the trees were all bluestone houses, neatly planned, like the Fang market in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

Forty or fifty meters in front is a circular square, and a towering ancient locust tree is planted in the middle. There are two streets along the east, west, north and south of Guhuai, with a total of eight streets, leading to all directions of Zhuangzi.

At this time, Lu Qin had brought people to the square, the square was paved with bluestone, and a circular pond was dug under the ancient acacia.

More than 500 people gathered in the room, but not one spoke. Shen Zidu and Zuo Longxing were nowhere to be seen, and they didn't know if they had come in. Xiao Han saw that the road was safe, there was no one in this village, and his heart was slightly peaceful, and he waved his hand to summon the three halls and twelve helmsmen and the heads of the five factions to come over and said: "This village is so quiet, as if it has been abandoned, although we have found the right place, it is useless, Qinglong Hall, White Tiger Hall, Brother Lu, Brother Di, Brother Fang, Brother Qiu, and Brother Cui each took their subordinates to investigate in all directions, be sure to be careful, as long as it is verified that there is no one in the house, they will set fire to the house, even if the people in black come back, it will be in vain, I copied their lair today." ”

Everyone answered with a voice, and each of them led a group of men and horses and ran to the other seven roads. Chai Xinyue frowned and pondered: "The village is so quiet, I don't feel right. Murong Qiuyu also followed: "It's too quiet, if this is the lair of the man in black, it will definitely not be so calm." ”

Li Yueying smiled: "It must be that they knew that we were coming, ran early, told the brothers to set fire to the house, we went back the same way, they lost their nest, and they had to fight with us on the ground, so many of us naturally would not be afraid of them." ”

Xiao Han smiled bitterly: "It's good if I really want to say what you say." Suddenly, he said, "Most of the ground in this village is paved with bluestone, why is there so much soil in this place, and where does this water come from?"

Murong Qiuyu glanced at Gu Huai and the pond a few times and said: "We have traveled all the way, there is no one in the houses on either side, but seeing that this Zhuangzi is very large, how can it be easily discarded, it must be the man in black who learned about us and made preparations in advance." ”

Xiao Han's face changed slightly: "This Zhuangzi is like a city, the layout is quite exquisite, and it is not a day before it is built, how can there be no news on the rivers and lakes?" Chu Tianshu shook his head and said: "This Zhuangzi is built underground, and the terrifying reputation of the Valley of the Dead is spreading outside, so naturally no one dares to approach it, and it has been a year or two since the shelf type was built." ”

While everyone was discussing, they saw a Qinglong Hall disciple hurriedly return and say, "There are four more forks in the east road, and each fork has three small paths. ”

Xiao Han's complexion changed greatly, each road was divided into four branches, each branch was divided into three small roads, one road had twelve roads, except for the first road when they came in, seven avenues had a total of eighty-four small roads, the size of this Zhuangzi can be seen.

Now Xuanwutang is following him, and the remaining more than four hundred people are divided out to investigate, if each path has to be investigated, it means that the forces are scattered, and each road can only be divided into four or five people. If the man in black deliberately set up a conspiracy and suddenly attacked, the Wudang faction and the five factions would surely suffer heavy casualties.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Han immediately ordered: "Tell Hall Master Xing that it is better not to detect than to disperse the manpower, and be careful of ambush." The Wudang disciple got the order and left in a hurry. Xiao Han immediately said to Guan Xiangming: "Send someone to catch up immediately and inform all factions not to scatter their manpower." "More than twenty Xuanwu Hall disciples were ordered to rush out.

Chai Xinyue suddenly saw that there seemed to be something hanging on the ancient acacia tree, so she immediately stepped forward and gently took it off, but it was a golden hairpin. Xiao Han frowned and said, "How can there be such a thing here?" Murong Qiuyu suddenly called out softly, "This is Miss Meng's thing." ”

Xiao Han's face changed greatly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard several screams in the distance, and then saw the disciples of Tianluo Valley retreating from Southeast Avenue in a hurry, and several disciples fled back in embarrassment with the head of Cui Mao, who was hit by the arrow, and when he saw everyone, someone immediately shouted: "Sect Master Xiao is not good, there is an ambush." ”

The Xuanwu Hall disciples hurriedly stepped forward to answer, and then saw more Tianluo Valley disciples fleeing back, all of them wounded, followed by dozens of black-clothed people chasing after them.
