This scene seems like it happened just yesterday...
The dragon pillar is still the same dragon pillar, still as tall and thick...
The square is still the same square...
The corpses of yin and yang corpses are still piled up so densely all over the place that it’s too horrible to look at...
What’s different – they’re just people…
The team in front of me, except for Liu Shiba and Cuihua, who had experienced the life and death here that day, the rest all had new faces...
But at this moment, the faint sound coming from the palace still made Liu Shiba's scalp numb and his spine chilly!
There is indeed a wooden staircase in the palace. It is true that it has been in decay for thousands of years, but if there is no heavy object trampling on it, there will never be a sound of the wooden board breaking...
He remembered that a corpse demon was slaughtered on the second floor of this palace!
Something weird——
Could it be that there was a second corpse that was not discovered that day?
"Eighteen, what did you think of?"
At the stall where Liu Shibabai was puzzled, Aunt Cuihua beside him also frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Um?"
Liu Shiba raised his hand to scratch his forehead, glanced at Cuihua doubtfully, his heart lit up, and he subconsciously asked:
"What I'm thinking about is whether those two idiots, Old Driver and Solanta, can keep up safely!
By the way, Auntie, I see you are frowning, are you thinking of something strange?"
Cuihua carefully looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she responded in a low voice:
"I also heard the sound of broken boards coming from the palace. I originally thought it was the corpse demon we killed that day, but after thinking about it again, I felt something was wrong..."
Something is indeed wrong...
This is what Liu Shiba thought of!
To confirm what he was thinking, Liu Shiba pretended to be confused and said stupidly:
"I'm confused! Aunt Cuihua, just say whatever comes to mind, don't hide it..."
"I feel that only a living person can make that sound..."
After thinking about it for a while, Cuihua explained with a strange expression.
"Well! Auntie and I thought of going together!"
Liu Shiba lowered his voice and kowtowed in agreement.
But no matter how low the voice was, it couldn't reach the ears of some people. Others didn't pay attention. Li Ergou, who was always paying attention to his mother-in-law, interrupted abruptly:
"Can't cats, dogs, or other living creatures? They have to be alive? I don't believe it..."
Hearing this, Liu Shiba and Cuihua looked at each other and smiled bitterly...
Li Ergou, I have never been to this ghostly place called Balong Coffin. How can ordinary living creatures have the ability to travel here from the surface?
But if you were a human being, you would have gone through a lot of hardships along the way, and your abilities would not be small...
"Boss, what should we do?"
Meng Tianfang's voice came.
"Be calm and don't be impatient..."
Liu Shiba turned around, waved not only to Meng Tianfang, but also to everyone behind him, and then added:
"This place is very strange. I can't guarantee that the road ahead is smooth. It might be a dead end or a way to survive.
It is very likely that we will not come out after entering the palace in front of us, so we must wait for everyone to gather... we cannot leave the old driver and Solanta alone!"
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang..."
"Da da da..."
As he spoke, the sound of gunshots suddenly became intensive as if the stone pillars were singing the opposite tune!
Listening to the sound of gunfire, there was a Barrett, a 38-meter gun, and a gun, and a continuous sound was the Makqin water-cooled heavy machine gun...
"Old driver, this is all a good deed done by you to show off your talents and show off? In the end, it will harm us..."
Liu Shiba gritted his teeth and cursed.
After he finished scolding, Liu Shiba accidentally saw Liu Shengjingyun out of the corner of his eyes. Thinking of his previous suspicion, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart...
"Shizumo Yagyu!"
Liu Shiba shouted.
"ha?"
Shizumo Yagyu, who was standing at the end of the team, was stunned when he heard this, and then responded hurriedly.
With a pleasant look, Liu Shiba patted Yagyu Jingyun on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Well! Let me ask you something, and you have to answer it truthfully!"
"ha……"
Hearing this, Liu Sheng Jingyun immediately fell to the ground in obeisance.
"There are two choices. The first is to follow me to an unknown place, where life or death is uncertain.
Secondly, if you stay in the place you are familiar with, where you were born and raised, you will definitely be able to live a prosperous life. How do you choose?"
Liu Shiba stared at Liu Shengjingyun and asked calmly.
Yagyu Jingyun's eyes narrowed, then he slowly lowered his head and remained silent!
Liu Shiba stared into Liu Sheng Jingyun's eyes and instantly knew that he was filled with confusion and confusion at this moment...
Where to go? This is a difficult choice!
Everyone looked at the conversation between Liu Shiba and Liu Sheng Jingyun, and they understood something in their hearts——
Liu Shiba has never had the slightest trust in Uesugi Kagetora and Yagyu Shizumo!
At this time, Liu Shiba raised this tricky question, which was equivalent to telling Liu Shengjingyun directly: I know you, and I have never believed what you said...
Yagyu Jingyun was silent for a long time, complexity and struggle flashed across his face, and then a trace of cruelty flashed across his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and replied with difficulty:
"Lord! I choose—choose—to stay in my hometown!"
Liu Shiba patted Yagyu Jingyun on the shoulder again and said with a smile:
"You chose your own heart, that's good! Let you go back as you wish, but before that, you have to do one last thing for me!"
"My Lord, please give me your orders!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Liu Sheng Jingyun's eyes, and he nodded.
The smile on Liu Shiba's face faded and he said sternly:
"Go back to the stone pillar and call the two people at the back below to come up to me!
After they come up, you blow up the stone pillars, and then you are free...the sea and the sky are open to you!"
This time, Yagyu Jingyun was not at all alarmed, but responded calmly and resolutely:
"Ha! My subordinates will definitely handle the matters entrusted to me by my master!"
Liu Shiba casually waved to Meng Tianfang and said:
"Take out seven or eight wooden-handled grenades that the old driver made for you, connect them together and give them to him, and teach him how to use them!"
Meng Tianfang had a gloomy face and silently followed Liu Shiba's instructions. After tying up a bundle of wooden handle grenades, he handed them to Yagyu Jingyun...
"Place this grenade in the gap in the middle of the main load-bearing stone staircase on the first floor! After calling people up, just pull the string, and then run further away! Go ahead..."
Speaking of this, Liu Shiba raised the corner of his mouth, as if he thought of something interesting, and added:
"In addition, I would like to send a message to Tokugawa Ieyasu, Akechi Mitsuhide, and the Emperor: Don't forget Honnoji Temple!"
These were the last words Liu Shiba told Yagyu Shizuo.
"Ha! Please, leave it to me!"
Liu Shengjingyun stared at Liu Shiba for a few breaths, nodded, turned around, and rushed towards the stone pillar resolutely.
"You know there's something wrong with this kid, why did you let him go?"
Li Ergou squinted his eyes and asked softly.
"hehe……"
Liu Shiba smiled, looked back at the other people who were also puzzled, and explained casually:
"I just left some surprises for them, and some variables!"
"variable?"
Li Ergou and Cuihua looked at each other after hearing this, chewing on these two words.
