Sitting in the quiet hall at night watching the Yuquan, I couldn't hear every drop of a drop. At this time, the Luo Mansion was dark and silent, and only a few people were alone in this quiet hall. Accompanying this old house that has gone through ups and downs for a hundred years, no matter what

Whether it is the former hairpin family or the current wealthy people, they have spent many sighing memories in this mansion, and have also witnessed the ebb and flow of time here.

"The three of you are so kind. It's natural for Jiang to refuse but refuse to accept. I'm just sorry that there are some things that I dare not promise lightly..."

Just what? Rebellion is a matter of beheading!

Rebellion with people who don't know the details is a matter of using your head as a ball. Not everyone in the world has a scapegoat that can avoid death and escape the wrath of the prince. It's terrible.

I am afraid that if someone dies and does not avoid it, it will bring disaster to the world.

Ever since he met Zhao Wuji on a narrow road, Jiang Wen felt that the shadow of Zhao Wuki was everywhere in the world.

A madman who uses the world as a chessboard, heroes as pawns, and the common people as insignificant. The plan he made ten years ago has created countless mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and empty cities and ghost lands. Now that he has broken through the barrier again, his methods will become even more crazy and evil.

With Jiang Wen's personality, he was determined not to get along with him peacefully.

Jiang Wen knew that the troubled world was suffering, but the common people were suffering especially. It was a good news that he was not worthy of letting him draw his sword. Jiang Wen's sword was now as heavy as a thousand pieces. The more something fell suddenly, the stronger the entanglement became.

He didn't expect the sword in his hand to be able to colden thousands of mountains, but he hoped that it would be a sword that could save people, just like the power that drove him to leave the Fuzhou government office and break through the many puzzles...

…

Jiang Wen thought about the intentions of several people, while guarding against possible conspiracy from Zhao Wuji.

Although Wu Liuqi was the commander-in-chief of Raozhen, he came from a humble background and had been depressed for a long time. Once he found an opportunity to overthrow his former favor, he would naturally be willing to take risks and give it a try.

As the leader of Lingnan Green Forest, Luo Yuantong has always been very arrogant. Now he is being forced by many people to take action. It is understandable that he will turn against him and attack him. However, these two bitter and resentful people did not accept him. Instead, judging from the situation in front of them,

, the only people who really advocated for him to join the group were the aging old Taoists in front of him.

Who is Ying Laodao?

Jiang Wen didn't know much about the grudges between their master and apprentice, but Ying Laodao's attitude was really weird. Now that he thought about it, he seemed to have transferred his hatred for his apprentice to Pingnan Prince's Palace too smoothly and freely, and

Take the initiative to recruit people to strengthen the team...

In the vast side hall, the complex patterns of the dark stone tablet flashed. Jiang Wen glanced at it from the corner of his eye and found a structure similar to the obituary text of the "Nine Nether Scriptures" on the tablet. When he was about to focus on identifying it, he realized that it was above.

The traces are like an actor in the moment when the silk strings are muted, hiding his face with water-sleeved colorful clothes and quietly retreating.

"I didn't expect that Southern Shaolin would be so bloody just because of this ancient monument..."

Jiang Wen's eyes flashed past the ruins of the Xilu Kingdom, the old monks in the Songshan Pagoda Forest, the blood-stained wooden alley of the Southern Shaolin, and the strange martial arts that once entangled the bodies of monks Hong Wending and Yankong, like ghosts that were constantly being dispelled.

, he sighed quietly and noticed that the earth suddenly shook again.

At first, the ground shook relatively smoothly, with only enough amplitude to create a ripple on the water. Therefore, Jiang Wen's attention soon focused on the three people in front of him, who had different appearances and serious faces.

"It's okay if you want me to join, but Jiang has a condition."

Jiang Wen promised proudly and pointed at the old Taoist beside him, "I still don't understand many things. During this trip, I have to ask the old man to help me clear my doubts and accompany me for a while."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wen found that the expressions of the three people were different, and it was obvious that their thoughts were not consistent.

Luo Yuantong had a look of understanding on his face, his eyes fixed on Ying Laodao, as if he wanted to ask him if this was his arrangement; Wu Liuqi held his sword and pondered, as if thinking about Jiang Wen's intentions, determined to ignore other people's thoughts; and only being

Ying Laodao, who was rashly named, looked surprised and speechless.

Following the case of Li Xinghe, Jiang Wen also had some doubts about Ying Laodao, who had a strange background.

He could barely believe that what happened to Yan Yongchun was a coincidence, but he never believed that this veteran Taoist possessed some miraculous energy-gaining skills. He could tell at a glance that Miss Yan Yongchun had extraordinary talents just like himself!

"...Forget it, I agreed."

At this moment, the shaking and shaking in the hall suddenly intensified. Jiang Wenzai suddenly felt his body being pulled by some force, and his body began to bump up and down uncontrollably. The shock wave that could only ripple through the water surface was already

It came towards us like a torrent of waves, breaking through the swamp and blocking the swamp, and submerging the solid ground beneath our feet.

"The bronze boat was born and the town was removed from its position. Quickly take people out of the city through the secret passage!"

For some reason, Luo Yuantong's eyes widened, and he suddenly mentioned the legendary huge copper ship in Xijiang, Guangzhou. That strange thing was covered in copper rust and had no sails or oars.

After Luo Yuantong said these words, he pushed open the door and left. Wu Liuqi moved the wooden pillars in the back hall without saying anything, revealing a dark cave underground, and jumped down.

As soon as Wu Liuqi left, the martial arts people had already entered the hall and saw the huge, thick, and strange ink dragon stele. However, everyone looked straight at it without any scruples, and did not show any concern for seeing the inscription on the stele.

The discomfort is very different from the rumored origin of the secret Dragon-shaped Fist.

"Miss Yan, Miss Yuan, and Miss Luo, you three are here too."

The martial arts people jumped in from the secret passage and disappeared, but when Jiang Wen turned around, he found three female heroes standing behind Jiang Wen, "You should also go quickly. The soldiers of Pingnan Palace may invade the palace at any time. This place is controlled by

I'll break it off."

The situation is becoming more and more critical. Shang Kexi obviously has the intention to drive them to one place and catch them all. Therefore, he sent troops to trap the Luo Mansion but did not attack. I don't know how long this secret passage can be hidden for.

Yuan Ziyi seemed to want to say something else, but Yan Yongchun beat him to it and said, "Master Jiang, don't worry, Hei Yi has been led here. Pingnan Palace will have to pay a price if it wants to invade Luo Palace."

"What? Hei Yi is here?"

Jiang Wen looked up in surprise, and found that in addition to the dark clouds and the fading sun, the top of the Luo Mansion was also covered with a specious mist, soaring uncertainly above it, seeming to be a little afraid of the people in the mansion, so

It has not been settled like Zhangqiugang Village for a long time.

Jiang Wen didn't even need to think, he knew that this matter was Ying Laodao's handiwork. Only a man who knew the basics and read many books like him could do this.

They slowly heard the noisy footsteps of the martial arts people in the distance, and also saw the bright fire and the sound of armor outside the Luo Mansion on the rainy night. They finally stopped chatting about other things, turned over and jumped into the secret passage, while the soldiers outside the mansion looked like they were crazy.

The pitiful roar and the sound of fighting slowly came out of nowhere.

…………

You could hear a needle drop in the dark tunnel. No one dared to speak more and waste precious oxygen. There were only countless footsteps, light or heavy, one after another, and countless figures walking forward one after another, heading towards the dark and indistinguishable underground world.

Go deep.

Jiang Wen protected several women and walked slowly to the end. In a hurry, he met Zhou Long who was helping Wen Tailai go forward. Both of them limped and gritted their teeth and persisted. They only nodded silently and looked at each other before continuing to move forward.

okay.

Jiang Wen was lucky enough to walk through a similar underground tunnel in Fuzhou City. Both walls were covered with man-made traces of chiseling and shoveling, and the tunnel had been deliberately widened. It was obvious that he had been preparing for this day for a long time, but he slowly walked out without knowing it.

A few miles away, Jiang Wen discovered some unknown debris on the ground beneath his feet, which seemed to be some scattered corded tiles, clay pottery pieces, and many hard wooden cores that had been polished into fine edges.

Jiang Wenzheng was confused, thinking that there really was such a secret passage under the Luo Mansion that led directly to the outside of the city. He felt a damp and cold water vapor rushing towards his face, irritating his face and making his whole body tremble. He felt that this water vapor

It's a bit colder than winter ice crystals.

Before people could stop their pace, a cold light suddenly lit up in front of their dim eyes. They felt that their feet were stepping into muddy water, and some people fell one after another. However, the thin air suddenly became fresh. It was obvious that this place was hidden underground.

The space is connected to the outside world, but when I look around through the dim light, I can only see a calm lake with many ancient wooden pillars and stone foundations scattered on the lake.

While the people in the martial arts world were amazed that there could be such a vast and gloomy world in such a deep underground, Jiang Wen decisively asked the question to Ying Laodao who was accompanying the team.

"Senior Ying, what is this place?"

Ying Laodao's old and thin face was also full of surprise, but his old tone was somewhat understanding, and he sighed as he stroked his beard towards Jiang Wen.

"If I guess correctly, you are only a mile away from Luo Mansion, and you are now under the City God's Temple in Guangzhou Mansion."

"Chenghuang Temple?"

Jiang Wen felt that the name was very familiar, and then suddenly remembered that the beggars of the Guandi Society once told him that Wu Liuqi had appeared outside the Capital City God's Temple before he disappeared. Could it be that he entered here from a secret passage somewhere, and then secretly hid inside?

The Luo family to this day?

There is a lake quietly existing in such a vast underground world. The remaining shallow water surface is still covered with wooden ruins and a large number of residual tiles. There are countless wooden piers and column foundations. There are no less than a thousand fragmentary ruins, large and small, and just tiles.

There are three types: slab tiles, tube tiles, and tiles. Therefore, after countless years, I can still imagine the scene of its prosperity, but for some reason it has been hidden deep in the underground caves until now.

The martial arts people could not find any other way along the underground lake, let alone how to leave this quiet place like the underworld. Jiang Wen found that a group of people were unusually silent, while the remaining people started searching in twos and threes.

, until a cry of surprise echoed through this cave wonder.

"There's a ghost! There's a ghost here!"

The oppressive environment amplified the fear, and there were sudden rapid breathing and the sound of weapons being unsheathed, and they all walked towards the place where the screams came from, causing them to also let out frightened sounds.

Because in the dark cave, on the slippery and sticky gray wall, there is a huge monster lurking like a mountain!

Its whole body is pale and bloated like stalactites, with a sharp, strange fish head, but with a wrinkled human face, grinning ferociously at people. The remaining body of the monster that stretches in the cave is still very small.

It is long, flat and curved like a catfish, but its tail is raised high like a snake. Its whole body is covered with thick tumors and fat, and its posture is very scary.

What's even more frightening is that behind the gills of the catfish's body, under the two fins, there are a series of arms of uneven sizes and slenderness that grow without any warning. Although they are all shaped like human arms, there is nothing human about them.

The proper bones and joints of the body are pointing in all directions like a halberd. At the same time, the skin on the back is stretched out into a pair of huge fleshy wings, like a kite flying in the sky.

The ferocious power overwhelms a large group of rusty bronze men with beaks, long ears, short necks and long hair at their feet.

Jiang Wen jumped over the crowd, and the awe-inspiring sword intent came out of his body. The long sword in his palm had not yet been unsheathed, and people could already feel the sharp stinging pain. However, this illusion was fleeting, because Jiang Wen the next second

He walked up to the giant monster without any scruples, and placed his palms on the pale, slimy body.

"Don't panic, everyone. This is just a sacred stone statue from an unknown age. It was covered with stalactites over the years and has transformed into such a terrifying appearance."

Jiang Wen tapped the corners of the stone statue, and sure enough, it made a clear sound like the impact of gold and stone, which also proved that this statue had been hidden deep in the cave for an unknown number of years, so that it had a terrifying appearance covered by the stone wall with stalactites.

"It's a terrible omen for a copper boat to break out of water. Now this is the only place where we can be safe."

Ying Laodao also came to the front of the crowd and spoke to comfort everyone, "Just as Taoist Master Jiang said, don't panic. This is just a statue of the Bingyi God from the Qin Dynasty. It has been enshrined in front of the Qin Dynasty slipway for more than a thousand years.

The people of Tongshan below have never been harmed by monsters."

In order to prove his statement, Ying Laodao also pointed to the eyes of the monster-like statue and said, "It is said in the Pre-Qin Dynasty that the statue of Hebo was ferocious and had a violent temper. It was said that Yi once shot his left eye with an arrow, and his power was unpredictable. And this Bingyi statue

Just like a blink of an eye is a clear proof."

Bingyi's original name was "Feng Yi", and he was the legendary water god of the Yellow River. In Ge Hong's "Baopuzi·Shigui Pian", it is said that he drowned while crossing the river, and was appointed by the Emperor of Heaven as Hebo to manage the river. "Han Feizi"

"Nei Chu Shuo 1" says that a man from Qi State wanted to invite the King of Qi to see He Bo, so he built an altar on the water and performed the ritual. Soon a big fish emerged from the water, which was He Bo. It can be seen that the shape of He Bo was like this.

Faced with a fish body, so Duan Chengshi directly said in "Youyang Zazu" that He Bo had a human face and a fish body, and he traveled on two dragons.

But the question is, in such a deep and difficult underground cave, why would someone spend so much effort and ingenuity to carve such a huge statue of Frozen End?

"Master Jiang, this matter has some twists and turns. Let me tell you slowly. Do you know the "General Chronicles of Guangdong" compiled by Huang Zuo, the sage of the Ming Dynasty?"
