Chapter 15 The Fourteenth Shocking Earth

The midnight clouds are thinner, but the sun is still very gentle. Xiao Qi, Lei Xun, and Han Sheng walked out of Sima Villa. After seeing the place where Sima Dongcheng lived, they all felt relieved. It is undoubtedly a very safe place, at least, safer than any place they know. The bleak autumn wind blew a burst of scorching smell. Looking back, the bamboo forest was full of smoke, and the fire was still not extinguished. They couldn't help but recall the danger of that moment. Xiao Qi has already changed into a new suit, although Sima Dongcheng said that it was left by her father, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it.

The color and style are the ones that Xiao Qi usually wears, and the tailoring is just right. Although Xiao Qi had never met Sima Dongcheng's father, Sima Zhongyuan, and didn't know if his figure was exactly the same as his own, he didn't believe it would be such a coincidence. Although Sima Dongcheng didn't say clearly that it was the clothes she personally sewed for Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi could tell from her expression. He didn't tell the truth, but the emotion in his heart was fully revealed in his eyes. Sima Dongcheng then sighed, and his expression became extremely desolate.

What kind of mood is she in?I'm afraid Xiao Qi doesn't know too well, maybe only she knows. She sent it all the way to the gate of the manor house, watched Xiao Qi go away before turning back, the sadness on her face was even more intense. The autumn mood in the villa seems to be deeper because of this. The horse neighed in the autumn wind, and Han Sheng suddenly rode his horse to catch up and asked, "Brother Xiao, where should we start our investigation now?" Xiao Qi pondered for a while, and said: "Tianlong Ancient Temple!" Han Sheng was stunned, and Lei Xun also asked strangely: "Brother Xiao, did you suddenly realize that there is something suspicious there?"

Xiao Qi shook his head and said: "Although we brought lights with us last night, we couldn't see very clearly at night, so I plan to go again. After a pause, he said again: Don't be afraid to say, I always feel that we seem to have neglected something? Han Sheng asked: What is it? Xiao Qidao: "I don't know either, or it's just an illusion, nothing has been neglected by us at all. Han Sheng was silent, and Lei Xun said: Didn't we search very carefully last night? Xiao Qidao: So if we go this trip again, it is very likely that we will not gain anything. Han Sheng said: "But since we have no clue, we might as well go again, or as Brother Xiao said, we really neglected something last night.

Lei Xun didn't object either, and said, "Okay." Xiao Qi didn't say anything more, and urged the horse to run forward. Although it is not too far from Sima Mountain Villa to Tianlong Ancient Temple, if you arrive a moment earlier, you will have an extra moment to observe. Although he still couldn't capture any consciousness in his heart, he knew that the reason why he had this idea must be that he suddenly realized something was wrong, or was triggered by something strange? What was he neglecting? Sanqi finally came to Tianlong Ancient Temple again. In broad daylight, although Tianlong Ancient Temple is not as gloomy as it is at night, it is far more bleak than at night.

There are dilapidated walls and weeds everywhere. The grass grows to the knees, and most of it has withered and yellowed. The autumn wind blows, and the sound of screeching is endless, and the autumn feeling is even more bleak. Xiao Qi's horses rushed up the stone steps in front of the temple first, rushed into the courtyard, and reined in the horses in the grass. Lei Xun and Han Sheng followed closely, and also restrained their mounts in the grass. Xiao Qi glanced all around, got off his horse with a snap, and said: We still start from here. Lei Xun and Han Sheng did not object. Xiao Qi didn't say much, before he walked, he didn't walk slowly, but he paid great attention to the places he passed.

Lei Xun, Xiao Qi, and Han Sheng also intentionally looked around. The route they took was basically the same as last night, and they found nothing. Until he reached the backyard, before arriving at the collapsed apse, Xiao Qi suddenly stood there in a daze, his gaze also froze, staring straight at the pile of ruined walls. Han Sheng was the first to notice Xiao Qi's strange expression, and blurted out: "What's wrong, Brother Xiao?" Xiao Qi was silent for a long while before saying a word. A very strange sentence: It didn't rain last night. They didn't sleep all night last night, it should be very clear whether it rained or not.

Lei Xun was stunned when he heard this, but Han Sheng heard Xiao Qi's words had other meanings, and said: "It's not just that I didn't last night, and I haven't in these few days." Xiao Qi laughed suddenly, and said: Now I understand what I was negligent last night, and why I felt something when I left Sima Villa. Lei Xun said: "What is going on?" Xiao Qidao: The high wall outside the bamboo grove surrounding Sima Villa collapsed because of the gunpowder explosion. Lei Xun said: What does it matter? Xiao Qidao: You two, can you notice the difference between the situation after the high wall collapsed and the situation here?

Han Sheng's eyes flickered, and he said: There is not much difference. Lei Xun said: Does this mean that the palace in front of us was also destroyed by gunpowder? Xiao Qidao: It doesn't matter exactly how it collapsed. Han Sheng went on to explain: Brother Xiao means that this palace seems to have collapsed not long ago. Lei Xun moved and said: Oh? Xiao Qidao: If it had been collapsed for a long time, the traces of the collapse would never be so clean, and it has not been washed by rain in the past few days, so if I read correctly, the collapse of this palace took place within a day or two. Maybe even just yesterday!

Lei Xun said: "That's the result of the fierce fight between Feng'er and the bat." Xiao Qi fell silent, and Han Sheng didn't make a sound either. Lei Xun looked at them, then asked: Is what I said wrong? Han Shengdao: Since the original intention of the bat is not to hurt Feng'er, it must have made arrangements to bring Feng'er here. Lei Xun said: Then how do you think this palace collapsed? Xiao Qidao: I was wondering if it was to cover up something? Han Sheng said: "Brother Xiao means to open it and have a look." Xiao Qidao: Not bad!This is of course a very troublesome thing, but in the absence of clues, we can't let go of any suspicious places.

Han Sheng nodded and said, "I'm going to gather people right now."Before he could move, Lei Xun stretched out his hand to stop him, saying: With the physical strength of the three of us, I believe we can handle it. Han Shengdao: I'm afraid that when we are exhausted, the bats suddenly appear and attack. Lei Xun laughed and said: Forgive him for not having the guts! Han Sheng smiled and said nothing. Lei Xun stopped laughing and said, "Second brother, you should know what kind of temper the eldest brother has." Han Sheng said: "My younger brother already knew that my elder brother would not be able to wait." Lei Xun said: Then what more do you say? Han Sheng didn't say much, rolled up his sleeves, then smiled at Xiao Qi and said: "Brother Xiao, you should be more careful, if you break this new clothes, your older sister might get angry." Xiao Qi was slightly startled, then laughed and said: Eldest sister already knew that I wouldn't be able to wear clothes for long. As soon as the voice fell, a broken beam was picked up with one foot, and it was caught in the hand, and then sent out again, hitting a tiled surface! With a bang, rubble flew, and dozens of tiles were knocked into the air and flew away! Lei Xun saw it in his eyes and roared: Good!Standing in front of him, his palms were inserted and turned over, and a pillar in front of him was forcibly supported by him! With another roar, he threw the pillar out of the weeds in the yard, and there was another loud shock. Even though the pillar was half broken, it was not light, if his arms didn't have the strength of a thousand catties, he probably wouldn't be able to move it! Han Sheng was also aroused full of arrogance, he jumped forward, grabbed another beam and waved it unceasingly, just like Xiao Qi did, knocking those rubble and bricks into the air! Dust flew all over the sky for a while, and the rumbling sound was endless. The Bat heard it very well, for he was not too far from the apse. He was lying on his back in the shadow of the roof of the front hall, half-closed his eyes, although he couldn't see, he knew what Xiao Qi and the others were doing just by hearing the sound. It didn't appear until Xiao Qi and the others entered the backyard. They flew over the high wall like bats, flew into the front yard full of weeds, and then flew up to the dripping eaves of the front hall and rolled into the darkness of the roof ridge. His qinggong is very good, the whole person really seems to be flying. There were rumors in the world that he was blind, and he did not deny it, but in fact, he did look like a blind man. But if it wasn't a coincidence, it would be unbelievable for a blind man to know how to choose a dark place to hide. From his point of view now, it was just like a cloud of shadows, and unless he jumped onto the tile surface, it would be difficult to detect his existence. If it wasn't for following Xiao Qi and the others, their actions would have been in his expectation. Who would believe that the bat is an idiot? The wind blew more vigorously on the tile surface, blowing the bat's pale beard and hair. He lay there on his back with an unusually calm expression, but his whole body seemed to be stiff, not moving at all. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: Xiao Qi is indeed a smart person, even smarter than I imagined. Then his wrinkled face twitched, and he muttered to himself: What should I do? As soon as these words came out, he fell into deep thought again. After a while, a very weird smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself: In the secret room, they will never find the slightest clue. I should take advantage of the opportunity they are wandering around Luoyang to find those few people first. personal! Before he finished speaking, his slender body bounced up, his sleeves stretched out, and he flew out like a bat against the tile surface! Sweep down the front yard, then sweep forward, and fly over the high wall! There is no doubt that he is not going to monitor Xiao Qi and the others anymore. Who are those people in his mouth? Why is he looking for them? It's not even dusk, it's almost dusk. The pile of rubble and masonry has finally been removed, and the floor of the apse reappears. The clothes of Xiao Qi and the three were permeated with sweat, and their expressions also looked a little tired, but also a little nervous. Among the rubble, they found several dead bats, some of which had been crushed, but two were still well preserved because they were in the cracks. One of them was undoubtedly sliced ​​in two by a sharp blade. Lei Xun stared at the bat, and suddenly asked Xiao Qi: Brother Xiao, what do you think about this bat? Xiao Qi asked rhetorically, "What about seniors?" Lei Xun said: According to legend, the wingless bat can instruct real bats to attack the enemy. Xiao Qidao: That is to say, this bat was beheaded by that enemy when it attacked. Lei Xun said: There is no doubt that this bat was chopped like this by a weapon. Xiao Qidao: The person they attacked only I'm afraid it's just a little girl!Lei Xun's golden knife came out of its sheath with a clang, and picked up the bat with the tip of the knife! The bat was picked up into the air, and he slashed it out with a counter-wrist! With a flash of the knife, the bat that had been cut into two pieces was cut into two pieces again! Lei Xun continued: Do you see the knife edge is the same? The edge of the knife is exactly the same. Lei Xun then explained: Although the weight of the knife used by the little girl is much different from the one I used, but the shape and curvature are exactly the same, and the cast metal is also lighter. Xiao Qidao: The only person who entered this hall last night should be Ling Qianjin, even if there were other people, it would not be so coincidental that they used the same knife. Lei Xun said: Why did she kill those bats? Xiao Qidao: Senior thinks it was because of those bats that attacked her? Lei Xun said: This is a very reasonable explanation, isn't it? Xiao Qi did not deny it. Lei Xun continued: In other words, Feng'er was killed here, and before we arrived last night, this palace hadn't collapsed yet. Xiao Qidao: If it is said that the house collapsed due to fighting, this possibility seems unlikely. Lei Xun said: Feng'er's internal strength is not very good, there are enough places in the hall to fight, and bats don't need to knock it down. Xiao Qi pondered and said: That happened after the victory and defeat had been decided, and the purpose was probably to cover up something. Han Sheng interjected, "I'm sure it's not to cover up those dead bats." Lei Xun said: Of course, even if he really wants to clean up those dead bats, he doesn't need to spend so much effort. Han Sheng swept his eyes and said, "We didn't find anything when we cleared away the rubble. Xiao Qi groaned again, and said: Could it be that the problem lies under this ground. Lei Xun was stunned, and said: There is a secret room below here!As he spoke, he flipped the knife over and hit the ground a few times with the handle of the knife. This was just a subconscious move, but when they heard the knocking sound, the three of them couldn't help but froze. Xiao Qi blurted out: It's empty! Lei Xun's figure immediately unfolded, and he knocked down the handle of the knife again and again, quickly knocking all over the ground. Xiao Qi and Han Sheng listened carefully, and when Lei Xun stopped, Han Sheng said: "Only the area where we are standing is empty." Lei Xun said: Break it open and have a look!Sheathing the knife, he held up a broken beam with his backhand. Han Sheng walked over to Lei Xun's side, grabbed the beam with both hands, and then shouted: "Brother Xiao, step aside!" Xiao Qi said: Good!With a movement of his body, he retreated half a foot. Lei Xun and Han Sheng shouted loudly, and they both lifted the beam, and rushed to the place where they were standing just now! There was a loud bang, and the ground shattered, but it didn't collapse! The two of them collided again, the ground near where Xiao Qi stood suddenly parted, and a big hole appeared. Xiao Qi was not on guard, and his whole body immediately fell down. He drew the sword with his right hand, and hurriedly grabbed the edge of the hole with his left hand, but he couldn't catch it by an inch. He waited to grab it again, and his figure was already solid! In an instant, he could see clearly that there was a slanted metal plate underneath, and it was not a mountain of swords or a pool of swords. His sword originally planned to be in front of his body, but he changed his mind in an instant! The moment he changed his mind, his feet landed on the metal plate! The metal plate was so smooth that his feet were firmly on his feet, and he immediately slid down. What's down there?what should i do More than a dozen thoughts flashed through Xiao Qi's mind quickly, and he finally decided to let it be and go down to see what happened. At this time, he couldn't help him at all, and when he made a decision, people were already plunged into darkness! His figure still kept sliding down. A cold feeling went up his spine, and he knew he was sliding down a metal pipe. An indescribable fear came to his heart at the same time. He suddenly had an urge to cry out, and at this moment, the pipe snapped, and his body followed suit, and fell into a state of nothingness in an instant! There was still darkness all around, and he couldn't see anything, so he fell in the darkness! There is no support, there is nothing around, and there seems to be no air. hell? These two words suddenly appeared in Xiao Qi's mind, and before he could think about it, his body fell onto a soft mass! He finally let out an exclamation, and then his whole body moved, Huo it rolled over, jumped up, and protected his vitals with a sword at the same time! Although the sword hadn't been stabbed out, he was ready to stab out at any time. Now he is like a hedgehog, his body is covered with spikes, and he is also full of danger! He still couldn't see anything, his eyes were dark, and he listened carefully, but he couldn't hear anything. There is no wind on all sides, and there is no sound, but it actually gives people the feeling of murderous intent, and even the place where they step can not make people feel safe at all. It even gave people an unreal feeling, as if it would sink again at any time. What kind of place is this? Xiao Qi naturally stretched his hand into his bosom, took out a fire pocket, and polished it brightly! The fire quickly dispelled the darkness. In the darkness, the not-so-bright Huozhe became very bright, and Xiao Qi even felt a brief glare. With the help of the firelight, he finally saw this place clearly. At a glance, he was stunned on the spot, and the surprise in his heart was by no means inferior to that night's thunder and phoenix. He was so surprised that there was a strange sound above his head, and the two fell down one after another. The first one is Lei Xun, followed by Han Sheng of course! Lei Xun Dao was already in his hand, and he rolled on the ground, and Jin Dao used two sabers! After the second saber flower was used, it dissipated in mid-air, and Lei Xun was stunned. Han Sheng was also stunned, sitting under the tube, and didn't even know to stand up. For the first time in their lives, they were in such a strange place. After being stunned for a long time, Lei Xun screamed strangely: What is this place? No one answered him. Lei Xun took a few steps forward with his saber, stared at the wall on the left, and moaned: Butt! On the wall, there are countless buttocks embedded, all kinds of different buttocks. On the right wall are countless breasts. The front is the feet, and the back is the head. The lines and outlines are all beautiful. If you can find one and insert it, you can undoubtedly become a woman with a beautiful face and a very moving figure. Lei Xun looked left and right, and blurted out: "It must be the place where bats are carved. There is a legend in the world that bats were originally a famous carver, and he liked to carve women the most!" Xiao Qi and Han Sheng couldn't help but nodded. Han Sheng suddenly jumped up and screamed strangely: "Knife!" On the brocade beside him lay a knife, which he almost immediately determined was Lei Feng's saber. As soon as Lei Xun's eyes fell, he immediately recognized it, and shouted: "It belongs to Feng'er!" He immediately walked over, picked up the saber, looked at it and said: "That's right, it's Feng'er's saber!" Han Sheng said: "Feng'er has been here before, there is no doubt about it." Xiao Qidao: Obviously it also fell like us. Lei Xun said sadly: When it fell, she might not have the strength to strike again, otherwise, she would never have dropped the knife on the brocade. Han Sheng suddenly shouted again: Look over there! He pointed at the platform in the middle of the room, Xiao Qi looked around and frowned, but Lei Xun's expression changed. Next to the platform, there is a wooden statue of a naked woman, the outline of the face is familiar to the three of them. The outline of that woman's face was really similar to Lei Feng. Although Xiao Qi had only seen Lei Feng once, he still had some impressions. He also had a close look at Lei Feng's corpse this morning, so when he saw this wooden statue, he felt a sense of déjà vu. a feeling of. Of course Lei Xun could tell at a glance, he stayed for a while, then rushed over quickly, rushed to the front of the wooden statue, holding the face of the wooden statue with both hands. Xiao Qi and Han Sheng also rushed over. Lei Xun looked at it for a while, then hissed sadly: "It's Feng'er!" That fact is the wooden statue carved by bats for Lei Feng. Although he has no eyes, he has a pair of nimble magic hands. The wooden statue was carved exactly like the real person, only one thing was missing. life! Han Sheng's complexion also became ugly. The bat is a blind man. It's not hard to imagine how he could carve such a realistic wooden statue. Lei Xun's whole body trembled, he gritted his teeth and said: Bat, you wait, someone Lei is determined to fight with you! Xiao Qi interjected: Seniors must cherish it. Lei Xun laughed and said: Before I find the bat, I will definitely cherish it! Han Sheng turned his eyes and said: "There is blood on the wooden statue, and there is also underground!" Lei Xun's gaze also turned, and he said: I'm afraid this is the place where Feng'er died? Han Sheng said: "The bat killed the real person after completing the wooden statue. Is this person crazy?" Lei Xun said: Even if he is not crazy, he will never be a normal person. Han Sheng glanced around, and said: There are so many wooden statues in this room, there are quite a few people who died under his hands. Lei Xun said: Looking at the color of the wood, many of those wooden statues don't look like they were carved recently. Han Sheng said: "Some of them are very new." Lei Xun clenched his fists and said, "For such an evil person, Sima Zhongyuan actually let him survive, it's hateful, hateful!" Han Sheng suddenly said: I'm afraid they have other plans. Lei Xun said: Oh? Han Shengdao: According to common sense, even if the bat is seriously injured and becomes an idiot, the danger is still very high. Logically, they should at least abolish his martial arts. Lei Xun said: This matter is indeed a bit suspicious. Han Shengdao: "It's a pity that even Sima Zhongyuan has died. We can't ask why." Lei Xun said: This matter has nothing to do with Feng'er's death. Han Sheng said: "Probably not." Lei Xun said: Feng'er's disappearance is of course because the bat wants to use her to carve this wooden statue. As for why he did this, I believe we can't understand. Han Shengdao: This may be his hobby, but no matter what, we are determined with him. While speaking, the light of the fire gradually dimmed, but Xiao Qi didn't seem to notice it. He stared at the platform with his eyes wide open, as if he had discovered something. The fire finally went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness again. It was only a moment later, when there were three swish, swish, and swish sounds, and the three torches lit up almost at the same time. These three fire folders are held in the hands of three people respectively. Xiao Qi held the fire folder in one hand and pressed the other on the platform, his gaze froze again. Lei Xun and Han Sheng realized that Xiao Qi's expression was different at this time, and Han Sheng couldn't help asking: "What are you looking at, brother Xiao?" Xiao Qi woke up like a dream and said: Look at this platform.
