Chapter 69: The Wraith of the Former Dynasty(1/2)
He is heading this way.
How far is it?
have no idea.
Using the word "he" to refer to him may be vague.
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.
To be continued...
