Chapter 18 Chapter 8 Ah Fang

The night wind blows, and it is as cool as water.Xiao Tie and Situ Tianzuo stood in the village of Efang, looking at the ruins, fear rose from the bottom of their hearts.Xiao Tie turned his head, looked at Situ Tianzuo's pale face, and said, "Master, what should we do now?" Situ Tianzuo pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let's not do anything now, and we will not stop. Since we have exposed our identities, why not send a signal to let your grandfather know that we are here, and come here to join us." Xiao Tie nodded, and said: "Okay, if that's the case, I'll send a signal to my grandfather." When he walked outside Afang Village, he took out a meteor cannon from his arms with his right hand, lit the powder, and the meteor cannon "swish" Flying into the air, it turned into the shape of a hoe, swayed in the air for a long time, and then landed slowly.When the Xiling faction fell, the hoe and pickaxe were the sharp weapons of the Xiling faction, so when the Xiling faction communicated with each other, they used the meteor cannon in the shape of a hoe as a message.

Situ Tianzuo and Xiao Tie joined Xu Anda and Xiao Li and walked in along the dirt road in Afang Village.I saw that the houses and palaces on both sides were half built and then shelved, leaving only thick rammed earth and a large foundation.When the four of them came to the southwest of the village, they saw a tall rammed earth platform about twenty or thirty feet high; it was about two miles from east to west and half a mile from north to south.The size of this platform is rare in the world. Situ Tianzuo said: "The commentary in the "Hanshu·Jiashan Biography" says: 'Azhe, the Daling is also named A Fang, which means how tall it is. As a house." This is where the name of A Fang comes from. Come."

Xu Anda said: "Master, we still have a legend that Qin Shihuang once fell in love with a beautiful folk woman, and this woman was called A Fang. But this beautiful love did not bring about a beautiful ending after all. Qin Shihuang wanted to commemorate This woman he loved deeply, so he named it Efang Palace." Situ Tianzuo nodded: "These are all folklore, and in the legend, this Efang Palace is even more hype. Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu also wrote an "Ode to Efang Palace", which was specially used to commemorate Afang Palace. It is said that "the six kings are completed, the four seas are one, the mountains of Shu are Wu, and Afang comes out". It is said that the Afang Palace is unprecedented in scale, magnificent and magnificent. It is said that the Afang Palace has more than 700 halls of different sizes. They are not the same. Qin Shihuang visited various palaces, lived in one place a day, and did not live in all the palaces when he died."

Of course, these are just legends, no one knows what the Efang Palace looks like. The four of them held torches and walked up to the broad and majestic platform.There are even layers of floor tiles on the platform.There were words engraved on the floor tiles, but it was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the handwriting was illegible.Situ Tianzuo lightly brushed the dust off a floor tile, only to see that there were twelve large characters written on the floor tile, "All ministers in the world, mature at age, Daoist not hungry".Situ Tianzuo caressed the handwriting on the floor tiles, as if touching the embarrassing years of the Great Qin Dynasty thousands of years ago.

Xiao Tie said slowly: "What about the emperor and general? After death, it's just a handful of loess." Situ Tianzuo sighed: "That's right. Afang Palace thought how glorious it was back then, but now it's just a ruined wall." Seeing the remains of the platform in Afang Palace, Xiaotie and Situ Tianzuo felt a little bit embarrassed.At this moment, a light was quietly lit on a platform opposite at some point, shining green in the dark night. Situ Tianzuo and Xiao Tie looked up and were taken aback.I saw that green light floating in mid-air, which was indescribably strange.Situ Tianzuo greeted the other three people: "Everyone, be careful! The idea is coming!" "Idea" is an incision of the Xiling School, which means the enemy.The four of them stood on the high platform, looking at the floating lights in the distance, wondering what the enemy in the dark had for lighting the green fire.

Xu Anda looked at the green fire suspended in mid-air, and tremblingly said: "Master, is it a ghost fire?" Situ Tianzuo frowned, and said: "What kind of will-o'-the-wisp, there must be someone secretly pretending to be a ghost." Before saying a word, the bright green lights suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the whole Efang Village was once again plunged into pitch black night.Only the fire folders in the hands of the four of them still gave off a faint flame. Situ Tianzuo said to the three in a low voice: "I think we'd better retreat outside the village and wait for the brothers to come to meet us." The three nodded in agreement, so Situ Tianzuo led the three of them along the dirt road in the village and walked slowly. Retreat outside the village.When the three of them arrived at the village entrance, Situ Tianzuo was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Tie's face change drastically.Situ Tianzuo followed Xiao Tie's gaze, and saw more than 20 men in black appearing like ghosts at the entrance of the village.

Those men in black wore black scarves covering their faces, with only two eyes exposed.Each holds a longbow.Arrows were placed on the bow, and the tips of the arrows faced the moonlight, emitting a blue light. It seemed that these arrows were all poisonous.The man in black drew his bow and set his arrows, aiming at the four of them.The four of them were a little creepy.Those men in black were motionless, as if they were waiting for something.Suddenly, as if they had heard someone's order, the men in black opened their bows together, and twenty long arrows tainted with poison rushed towards the four of them with a sharp whistle between them.

Situ Tianzuo said in a low voice: "Everyone, go back quickly." He waved the single saber in his hand, waving a circle of light in front of him.Unexpectedly, those arrows did not shoot directly at the four people, but shot on the sand in front of the four people, forcing the four people to retreat slowly.After several rounds, the four of them were forced to come under a boxy earthen city.The man in black followed closely behind.The long arrow in his hand was like rain, slowly forcing everyone to walk up to the earth city step by step. The top of the Tucheng is as flat as a mirror.

While dodging, Situ Tianzuo said in a low voice: "Everyone, be careful, don't fall into their trap. There must be a reason why these shadow men forced us to this earthen city." After the man in black forced the four of them to the Tucheng, he stopped shooting arrows, and just stood far below the stone platform, watching. Situ Tianzuo and Xiao Tie exchanged glances, murmured to themselves, and thought: Is there any secret in this Tucheng?The four of them walked slowly to the middle of the Tucheng, and just about to discuss it, they suddenly heard a loud earthquake, and a big hole with a radius of three to four zhang appeared where the four of them were standing.Immediately afterwards, the soles of their feet sank, and the four of them fell into the big hole.
