But I don’t know who he is, Zhao Xusen? No, it’s just a disguised human skin.
The real Zhao Xusen may have met the King of Hell the day before departure, or even earlier.
The reason why I can feel his existence is because of the powerful perception brought to me by the improvement of the Life Eye Qimen.
Looking at it, he saw that it was a venomous snake. It swayed in front of the shining sword, then quickly left the battlefield and ran towards this side.
Xu Tong looked at the sky and could even see this big snake, with two pairs of dark green eyes looking towards him.
The spiteful gaze makes people feel suffocated.
Apparently he was being targeted.
"Brother Ma, there must be chaos in the palace now, we might as well hide here."
Li Xi casually killed the remaining rebels and suggested to Xu Tong.
But Li Xi didn't notice that at this moment, Xu Tong was staring at Li Xi's back with squinted eyes, hesitating about another thing in his eyes.
Why don't you kill this guy now as a backup?
escape??
The moment this idea arose, it was categorically rejected by Xu Tong.
Because this is not a good idea.
Since the people of the new school decided to rebel and overthrow the Empress Dowager Shengci, several palace doors must have been sealed. Even if the Xiang family suddenly betrayed, these palace doors would never be opened rashly.
Perhaps with Ma Hongwen's identity, the guards blocking the palace gate could let them escape.
But this is undoubtedly a gamble.
What if the person who closed the palace door is not one of our own, or has an ulterior motive?
These defenders may not be your opponents, but as long as they delay you a little, they may not open the door at all.
When the poisonous snake catches up, with the Grand Master's methods, he will never be able to survive.
Furthermore, the trick you did last time by the river definitely won't work. The other party was unprepared last time and was attacked. If you were prepared this time, how could the other party give you a chance again?
So my chances of winning this time are too slim.
So much so that Xu Tong began to think in his mind that he should kill Li Xi first as a back-up.
But after thinking about it again and again, Xu Tong's eyes suddenly noticed the vermilion door.
"Brother Ma! Brother Ma! What are you doing? Don't mess around... Don't mess around."
Li Xi saw Xu Tong suddenly pick up the big knife on the ground and walk towards the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.
Xu Tong walked to the door and stopped.
"Xiao Xizi!"
"ah!"
"Do you remember what happened when we were chased by a mysterious man in Lianshan County last time??"
"Oh, you were being hunted. When we woke up, we saw that you were almost dead."
Xu Tong nodded: "This guy will be here soon."
"ah!!"
Li Xi was startled. It was okay if Xu Tong didn't say anything. When he said this, Li Xi immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.
With his special fate, Li Xi was able to survive to this day, no, even to the reform and opening up, and to live like an old bastard, not only because of his luck, but also because he has a natural intuition for danger.
This sense of danger is extremely sensitive, comparable to that of a wild beast, and it is precisely because of this that Li Xi avoids death again and again.
"Brother Marco!!"
Li Xi's hair stood up all over his body and he took Xu Tong's arm: "I know a hidden place. It will be no problem for us to hide in it."
Xu Tong shook his head and refused: "It's okay for you to hide in, and there must be something wrong with me. The other party is coming after me."
After saying that, without waiting for Li Xi to say anything else, he gently pushed his hand away.
"We hit it off right away. I used to think you were very similar to a friend of mine, but then I even thought you were that friend of mine. I believe there is such a thing as fate in this world, and I also believe that there is always cause and effect in the world. Retribution, if it happens again, I think we can be good brothers and good confidants."
"Brother Ma...you..."
Li Xi's face was a little hot. From the day he was born, the world seemed to be against him. His parents wanted to drown him, and the children in the same village would always bully him.
Like other children, he had a strong fantasy about martial arts, which led him to meet a peerless master in his dream. The master looked at him, picked up a chopstick, and poked a hole in his heart.
Even his most respected master only wanted to use himself in the end.
Li Xi has not heard such sincere words for a long, long time.
"Let's go. Leave right away before the other party comes. If it's too late, you won't be able to leave."
Xu Tong patted his shoulder and gently pushed him away.
"Brother Ma..."
"Let's go quickly and find the safest place to hide. If I don't survive, then maybe one day in the future, you may meet another me. Then, let's renew our brotherhood."
After Xu Tong finished speaking, he cut off the iron chain on the door in front of him with a knife, placed his hands flat on the door, and pushed in with all his strength.
As the gap in the door gradually opened, a cold and harsh wind blew, making Li Xi tremble all over. The thick clothes on her body seemed to be unable to keep warm at all.
"Let's go!!"
Xu Tong turned around and stared at him with red eyes.
"Brother Marco!! Take care!!"
Li Xi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards the door, one step at a time, then slowly accelerated, until he threw off his arms and started running forward with his head buried in the air.
Xu Tong could even hear Li Xi sobbing while running.
But Li Xi didn't notice that there was a paper man stuck on his back.
What's strange is that the paper man's hands are holding a paper lotus. In the lotus, a weak flame flashes, as if it can be extinguished at any time.
In the last script world, the master took himself and Gao Zhuo to Mang Mountain to find a fool.
At that time, in order to find out the situation in the cave, the master taught Xu Tong a trick on the spot, hanging a lamp to illuminate the road. (Volume 5, Chapter 113.)
Later, after some research, I found that this thing was easy to use, but it was a bit flashy for me.
The so-called hanging lamp illuminates the road, but the lamp burns one's own essence and spirit.
Master, a figure like a destined protagonist, has reached an incredible level of energy and energy, and his natural fire will be detrimental wherever he goes.
Compared with his master, he is nothing but a blurry candlelight. The slightest disturbance can extinguish his flame.
But one thing about this thing is true. The energy burning on it is separated from one's own body. This is the source that the other party is tracking.
So looking at Li Xi running further and further away, the only thing Xu Tong could do was to put his hands together and silently pray for him.
"Run fast, may Buddha bless you! Amen, Hallelujah."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the door in front of him that had been pushed open by him.
As I had guessed before, the door itself is the key to the seal. If you don't go through the door and climb over the wall, you will only see loneliness.
But if you enter through this door, it will be different.
I can't say what's different, but at least when I climbed over the wall and went in, I didn't see so many coffins in the huge yard in front of me.
After walking through the door, Xu Tong turned around and closed the door.
If the seal is as he suspected, then this door should be able to completely isolate his breath. At least it is not that easy for the great master to track him.
The black coffins were neatly placed in a row.
Every coffin is sealed with densely packed talismans.
Is it a means between fiction and reality?
Or is it a more sophisticated method??
Separated by a door, there are two worlds, Yin and Yang.
Such a magical method seems to be somewhat similar to the ghost market, but the difference is that the ghost market is naturally formed. If you insist on explaining it, there is a huge mass grave below, and there is nowhere to vent the overwhelming grievances. Over time, another gap has formed.
world.
But this is the Forbidden Palace in the capital. How could there be a mass grave?
After all, he is not the emperor, he is a figure fiend.
Therefore, in Xu Tong's view, the world in front of him can be understood as something created by man.
However, even a great master cannot maintain the balance between reality and reality forever, let alone maintain it for hundreds of years.
Not to mention the great master, I am afraid that even the master blessed by destiny cannot do this.
How on earth is this done?
With curiosity, Xu Tong walked to a coffin and stretched out his finger.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
"anyone there??"
"The community sends warmth and the funeral is a one-stop service."
No one responded, so Xu Tong simply tried to open the coffin lid and pushed hard twice. The coffin lid didn't move at all, and the coffin didn't even shake at all.
With my own strength, even a cow may not be able to push a coffin, let alone push it.
But the coffin here seems to be firmly fixed on the ground.
The coffin in front of him could not be opened, so he could only continue walking inside to see what was inside.
"Shashasha..."
There is a thick layer of dead grass under your feet, and it rustles when you step on it.'
The originally vibrant camphor tree in the courtyard was withered, dry and cracked, as if it might collapse at any time.
Passing through the Lotus Gate, a burst of crying could be heard.
Following the sound, he walked to the side room and Xu Tong tilted his head to take a look.
A young eunuch was huddled in the corner, like a frightened little hedgehog, wishing he could curl up into a ball.
"You are the little plum!"
I remember that Li Xi mentioned to himself last night that the missing eunuch was called Xiao Lizi. Someone saw him walking through the door and never came out again.
"ah!!"
When he heard someone calling him, Xiao Lizi looked up and saw the head with its neck crooked. He was so frightened that he trembled all over and even the braids on the back of his head stood up.
"You...don't kill me...don't kill me..."
"Why do I want to kill you? Are you Xiao Lizi? Do you know Li Xi?"
After hearing Xu Tong mention the familiar name Li Xi, Xiao Lizi was startled, his tense expression gradually relaxed, and he nodded.
It wasn't until Xu Tong walked out from behind the door, revealing his apprentice's green shirt, that Xiao Lizi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked Xu Tong up and down: "Why are you wearing the green shirt of an apprentice of Qin Tian Jian? Why haven't I seen you before??"
"Oh, I just got hired."
"Then why did you come in? Are you crazy? You can't come here?"
"I'm here to bring warmth."
"Warm? Who is Warm??"
After Xiao Lizi finished speaking, he realized that the topic had gone astray, and hurriedly called Xu Tong over: "Shh, stop talking loudly. Look, the ladies are all sleeping."
As soon as Xiao Lizi finished speaking, the surrounding coffins began to tremble slightly, and Xiao Lizi's face changed slightly when he saw this.
"Go quickly!"
As he spoke, he pulled Xu Tong and ran to one side, until he came to a dilapidated palace.
The palace was extremely dilapidated and empty inside, but there was a coffin placed in the center.
Xiao Lizi pushed him in: "Hurry up, hide, don't let them find out."
"Isn't there also a coffin?"
Xu Tong looked at where such a big coffin was placed in the room and couldn't help but ask Xiao Lizi.
"Don't worry, the coffin hasn't been opened for a long time. If you hide here, you'll be fine."
"how about you??"
"I, I'm fine. The most they can do is give me a beating to vent their anger. You are different. You are a living person. If they find you..."
Before Xiao Lizi finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced outside: "No more, remember, don't be born, they will go back to sleep in the coffin after making a fuss for a while, and then we will find a way to send you out."
After saying that, Xiao Lizi turned around and ran over.
After a while, the noise outside became louder and louder.
There was a creaking, creaking coffin board twisting sound.
As one coffin after another was slowly opened, a woman wearing a long skirt woke up from the coffin.
A sweet-looking girl took a deep breath, as if she had been sleeping for a long time. She stood up from the coffin, stretched out her arms, then took her head off her neck and arranged it at will.
He took off his messy hair and put it back on his neck.
He lifted his nose and took a sip in the air, then smacked his mouth with a sleepy look: "Third Sister, I really want to smell the scent of a living person!"
"A living person? I haven't seen a living person in more than ten years. Where did a living person come from? Are you suffering from sleep hysteria?"
In another coffin, a woman slowly sat up and complained: "Last time, I managed to trick one in. I originally planned to put it back in a few days and let him bring in more living people. You guys, I was not paying attention."
You just ate people."
"Hey, I'm so hungry."
The woman grinned, revealing two small dimples on her baby face.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Sister is about to get up. You have to be careful. She has been sleeping for thirty years. I don't know why she woke up today. Hurry up. Don't wake up and find you later.
You're naughty too, be careful she peels off your skin."
"Then you have to have skin that can be peeled off."
The girl stuck out her tongue and jumped out of the coffin.
More and more coffins were gradually pushed away, but not all of them were women. There were many men and maids inside.
"Greetings to both masters."
When Xiao Lizi saw that the two principals were awake, he hurriedly crawled over and knelt on the ground to greet the two women.
Neither of the two women had a good impression of the little eunuch with pigtails at all, and the woman called the third sister even kicked Xiao Lizi in annoyance and stepped on his head.
"You bitch, I get angry when I see you. I don't have time to deal with you today. When my eldest sister wakes up later, I will inevitably skin you and make a kite!"
Little Lizi was stepped on the head and did not dare to say a word. However, when he heard from behind, he was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said: "The princess is about to wake up??"
After saying that, my heart skipped a beat, and I looked back at the most inconspicuous palace: "It's broken! Isn't this going to put people in a trap?"
