Chapter 4 The fourth round of ghost dance on a cold day
The Laughing Buddha tore open Jin Lin's skirt, there was no scar on the front chest, but there was a purple palm print on the back, the five fingers seemed to soak into the flesh.Mo Xi gasped and said, "What a powerful palm."
The Buddha of a Laughing stared at the palm print for a moment, and he had a cup of tea. Fang Zi raised his head, looked at Shen Lang, and said, "Can you see it, Mr. Xiang?"
Shen Lang said: "Look out."
Zhu Qiqi stomped his feet and said, "What do you see? Tell me!"
Shen Lang said: "Zisha Hand!"
Zhu Qiqi was shocked, and said: "This palm print is Zisha's hand, really, really?"
The Buddha smiled and said: "It's true. In the past fifty years, in the martial arts world, only three people have mastered the dragon, searched the soul with poisonous hands, and killed the beggar. Besides, no one in the world has this kind of palm power."
Mo Xi said: "But...these three people are all dead?"
Laughing Buddha slowly said: "That's right, these three people are all dead."
Qunhao glanced at each other, and couldn't help but move their steps to get closer together.Zhu Qiqi smiled and said: "Oh, what you said is really scary. Since no one else will make this 'Zi Sha Shou', could it be that those three people crawled out of the grave and beat Jin...Jin Lin to death? Are you dead?" The laughter became softer, she turned to look around, but seeing that everyone's face was ashen, and no one spoke, she felt a chill in her heart, and she couldn't laugh anymore.
Huo Hai'er heard Zhu Qiqi mentioning dead people, he was a little scared, he couldn't help but moved closer to Shen Lang, and said in a low voice: "This...it's not fun here, and...it's so cold, let's go back." Voice Already trembling a little.
Shen Lang said: "You two go back."
Huo Hai'er said, "What about you?"
Shen Lang smiled slightly and said: "I have never seen a ghost in my life. If I could see it today, it would be very interesting... But there should not be too many people watching ghosts, otherwise the ghosts will be scared away." He has been reluctant to speak all his life, but when others are too scared to speak, he can still talk and laugh freely.
A Laughing Buddha laughed loudly and said: "Sajia looks like a ghost, no matter male ghost or female ghost, when they see Sajia, they will treat them as the same kind, and they will never run away."
Shen Lang said with a smile: "It's best to go together, master..." His gaze was intentional or unintentional, and he glanced at Zi Wu's reminder Mo Xi and that silver flower dart Sheng Ying.
Sheng Ying stepped forward, said with a slight smile, "I will follow after Xiongtai."
Mo Xi also giggled to himself and said: "People in the rivers and lakes will call me a ghost. Today I see that a fake ghost like me is going to meet a real ghost." Although he smiled reluctantly, he finally strode out.
Shen Lang said: "Okay, four people are enough..."
Zhu Qiqi said: "What about me?"
Shen Lang said: "Go back."
Zhu Qiqi said: "Hmph, why can you order me? I won't go back! Old Ba, stick out your neck and be bold. If a ghost kills us, we will become ghosts too. What's so scary? ? Let's go in first and see who dares to stop us."
Huo Haier said: "I...I..." Rolling his eyes and shaking his head, he smiled and said, "I won't go, I don't think you should go either."
Zhu Qiqi said bitterly: "Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Huo Hai'er laughed and said, "Although I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm afraid of Big Brother Shen, so I dare not disobey him." Quietly pulling Zhu Qiqi's lapel, he whispered: "You always fight against him, how could he treat you Okay? If someone is always against you, will you like him?"
Zhu Qiqi rolled his eyes and sighed: "Little devil, I knew I wouldn't bring you here. I brought you here, but I couldn't help looking at you. Well, I'll go back when I go back."
Huo Haier smiled and said, "That's the way it is."
Qunhao seemed to be still unwilling to leave, Shen Lang said with a smile: "I'm afraid there may be some accidents in the inn, so I have to rely on everyone to suppress them vigorously."
Wang Ermazi said: "Yes! Although it's dangerous here, it's not easy to go back. Let's do our own things, and no one can be idle."
Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "Exactly." Turning around, he walked towards the mysterious "ghost cave".
Suddenly Zhu Qiqi said: "Shen Lang, you..."
Shen Lang looked back and said, "How?"
Zhu Qiqi bit her cherry lips, and said, "You...you don't really want to be caught by ghosts."
Huo Hai'er said with a smile: "Brother Shen, my sister still cares about you, but with your real ability, nothing can catch you, I am very relieved..." Turning to look at Ding Wang Ermazi, Xiao Muyun and others , suddenly smiled again: "You have long wanted to leave, what are you waiting for? Let's go, let's go together."
Shen Lang, Yixiaofo, Shengying, and Moxi finally walked into the ghost cave that had taken countless lives.Until the four of them disappeared into the shadows, Wang Ermazi and others also left.Zhu Qiqi was still watching dazedly, and suddenly tears flowed from his eyes.
Huo Hai'er said: "Why are you crying, it's not like he won't come back."
Zhu Qiqi lowered his head and said: "For some reason, I... am very scared, old man! He... If he... also... can't... can... come back..."
Huo Hai'er's body trembled suddenly, looking at the ghostly mountain shadow, his red face had turned pale, and he was speechless for a long time.Suddenly seeing Zhu Qiqi stretch out his body, he rushed in frantically.
Huo Haier shouted in shock: "Sister..."
Without looking back, Zhu Qiqi said: "You go back and find Hua Po, I...I'm going to see him..." The slim figure in white flickered twice before disappearing.
Huo Hai'er turned his eyes around, but saw dead trees blown by the wind, like ghost shadows, dancing ferociously in the snowflakes all over the sky.Only now did Huohaier know what it's like to be afraid, and he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Sister, wait for me...wait for me..." let go and run away.
Under the cliff, the pitch-black cave is like a monster's huge mouth waiting to be devoured.There are piles of chaotic rocks all around, covered with ice and snow, the dark cave, against the white snow, looks even more gloomy and gloomy, bottomless, the word "ghost cave" is not enough to describe the horror of this place.But Zhu Qiqi didn't hesitate, she jumped in, and she didn't care whether she was alive or dead, because even if she died, it would be better than the anxious feeling when she was waiting for Shen Lang outside.
Suddenly I heard Huo Hai'er yelling from behind: "Sister...wait for me..." After calling twice, he seemed to have fallen, and the voice suddenly stopped.But he obviously got up immediately, and called again: "Wait for me..." The fear in the call this time was even more intense, and even his voice was hoarse.Even though he is very courageous, he is still just a child after all.
Zhu Qiqi wanted not to wait for him, but couldn't bear it, stopped his figure, and said in a hateful voice: "Little devil, I told you to go back or not... Be careful, don't fall again..."
In the darkness, I saw Huo Hai'er staggering again, stumbling in.Zhu Qiqi quickly supported him, and said, "Does it hurt from the fall?"
Huo Hai'er said: "It doesn't hurt." He said it didn't hurt, but his voice changed from the pain, the little hand wearing the deerskin glove tightly grasped Zhu Qiqi's slender palm, and refused to let go.
Zhu Qiqi sighed, and murmured: "I really don't know how Daddy would let you out... Sigh, there is still no fire, you have to walk carefully." The two siblings held each other's hands and walked step by step. After walking in, the deeper the human cave, the darker it is, and it's hard to see your fingers.
Shen Lang and the four of them disappeared, but they heard the howling cold wind outside the cave, and the sound of the wind could no longer be heard, and there was a dead silence in the surroundings, only a cloudy and damp air came to the nostrils.Suddenly, a cold, sticky thing bumped into him, Zhu Qiqi screamed in horror, and swung out his palm with all his strength, the thing squeaked and flew over again, Zhu Qiqi said: "Old Ba Don't...don't be afraid, that...that...is a bat." Although she told others not to be afraid, she was so afraid that she trembled all over.
Seeing a flash of a figure in front of him, Zhu Qiqi said in a trembling voice, "What... who is it?"
The figure said: "Is it Qiqi? I'm Shen Lang."
With a loud cry, Zhu Qiqi rushed forward and hugged Shen Lang tightly. His cold face was pressed against his warm chest, but his body was still shaking.
Shen Lang couldn't help stroking her hair lightly, and sighed: "Don't come if you want, but you want to come, you're so shocked... Oh! Why bother?"
Zhu Qiqi suddenly pushed him away fiercely, stomped his foot and said, "I deserve to die, who asked me to save you, you bastard! If I let you die, why...how can you suffer like this?"
The flames flickered in the distance, reflecting the tears on her face, and she turned her head away quickly.Although this stubborn girl shed tears for Shen Lang, she didn't want Shen Lang to see the tears on her face.But Shen Lang couldn't see it, he stayed for a long time, then smiled softly: "Look, how good old Ba is, he looks like an adult, but you look like a child."
Zhu Qiqi said: "You're just like a child..." She glanced at Shen Lang, but smiled through tears.This smile contained infinite tenderness and affection, even Iron Stone Man should be enthusiastic when he saw it, but Shen Lang turned his head away.
I saw "A Laughing Buddha" holding a torch, and laughed loudly: "Is it Miss Zhu? The Sajia knew that you would definitely come... Shimen is ahead, come quickly, both of you." Loud laughter, The shock made the tunnel respond endlessly, making this lifeless "ghost cave" suddenly alive.
Zhu Qiqi was shaken, wiped away the tears, and said loudly: "It's not two, it's three." Holding Shen Lang with one hand and Huo Hai'er with the other, he strode forward.
The Buddha of a Laugh's eyes flickered, seeing Huo Hai'er wearing the fiery red ghost mask again, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, good boy, put on this ghost face, if a real ghost comes, you'll be surprised too." Jump."
Shen Lang took the fire folder from Shengying's hand, raised his left hand high, and walked first.
The flickering flames reflected the rocks on all sides of the cave in an indescribably horrific way. It seemed that the rocks on that side seemed to be unknown monsters.Just as they flew out with the dark wind from the ground, a stone gate blocked the way of everyone.There is no embossed decoration on the stone gate, but it is so tall that everyone standing under it, looking up, can hardly see the top.
In an instant, everyone couldn't help but suddenly feel their own insignificance, and felt even more awe and fear towards this mysterious tomb.There were two heavy stone doors with a line slightly open in the middle. Although there were traces of chiseling on the stone doors, these two doors, which were more than a foot thick and weighed more than a thousand catties, were obviously not opened by force.
Shen Lang paused, turned his head and muttered: "The first batch of miners who discovered this place, how did they get in? I wonder if the yellow horse can explain clearly?"
Yixiaofo's thick eyebrows were tightly frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "According to what Huang Ma said, the miner broke down the door and killed him when he was drunk."
Shen Lang sighed: "But the portal was obviously not broken open by manpower. What Huang Ma said is obviously incomplete and untrue." Everyone looked at each other, and after a long silence, Zhu Qiqi tremblingly said: "The gate was neither broken by manpower. Break open, could it be...could it be the ghost in the tomb who came out and opened the door by himself?" Although everyone had thought about this sentence, but at the moment when Zhu Qiqi uttered it, everyone shuddered involuntarily.
Huo Hai'er said: "But...but..." His voice was also hoarse from the shock, and he coughed twice before he could continue: "But the ghosts in the tomb are forbidden to enter, so how can you open the door, don't... ...Could it be that they are...so lonely in this tomb, so they deliberately tricked a few people into going to die, and many new ghosts accompanied them?"
This sentence was like adding fuel to the flames, Zhu Qiqi said angrily: "Little... brat, nonsense." His voice was also trembling.
Mo Xi seemed to be too terrified to stand still, and said: "No...it's better to stop and wait for dawn before...go in."
The Laughing Buddha said coldly: "Ziwu urged the soul to travel all over the world for decades, and he can be regarded as a famous figure in the Jianghu. How could he say such a thing today?"
Mo Xi said: "But...but..." Finally he just lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Shen Lang sighed softly, took over for him, and said: "But there are too many strange things in the tomb, Brother Mo's reluctance to go in at this moment is not unreasonable."
Laughing Buddha said angrily: "Since we have come here, who else can't go in?"
Shen Lang said in a deep voice: "No. No matter who it is at this moment, as long as they step into this stone gate, no one can predict life and death. Even if you and I can force others to do what they don't want to do, but absolutely Don't force others to give away his own life for nothing." The Laughing Buddha was stunned for a moment, before answering, Shen Lang said: "If Brother Mo doesn't want to go in, just go back..."
The Buddha of a Laugh suddenly laughed loudly and said: "He is walking alone, I'm afraid he will never go back alive."
Mo Xi gritted his teeth, and suddenly sternly shouted: "Go in." Flying into the stone gate, he still shouted sharply: "The ghosts in the tomb, if you have the guts, come out and fight to the death with me, Mr. Mo San." ,...Come out...Come out...Check, haha, don’t you dare? Don’t you dare?...Haha..." The stern laughter resounded in the cave, causing stone dust and dust to fall.
Zhu Qiqi murmured: "Could this guy have gone crazy?"
Shen Lang frowned slightly and walked in, only to see Mo Xi dancing and dancing like crazy.Shen Lang seized his pulse door like lightning, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Mo is like this, don't you want to die?"
Mo Xi's body was shocked again, and he hung his head sadly and became stunned.At this time, everyone has already entered one after another, but there is a circular hall in the stone gate, surrounded by nine gates, and the circular vault is high above, as if there are pictures painted on it, but the vault is too high, and the fire refracts the flames in the end. I can't, so I can't see what is painted on it.
The hall was empty, except for a round table in the middle, and nothing else.It is so empty and wide, which makes the room even more eerie and eerie. Being in it, Zhu Qiqi and the others felt like they were in an empty graveyard. …
Zhu Qiqi said: "Whose... whose tomb is this?"
Shengying said: "I'm afraid it's an ancient emperor, and I don't know." Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he rushed to the lonely stone table and stretched out his hand.
Shen Lang scolded softly: "Stop."
Sheng Ying looked back and said, "There are..."
Shen Lang said: "No matter what is here, neither you nor I can touch it with our hands. Brother Sheng must keep this in mind..."
Zhu Qiqi said: "Why?"
Shen Lang sighed: "Don't you forget how those people died. Anywhere in this place may be highly poisonous. You and I just need to reach out and touch it, and then we won't even think about it..."
Suddenly, Huo Hai'er exclaimed in horror, saying: "The ghost really came."
Everyone was shocked at the same time, they turned their heads to look, and saw a fire flashed and disappeared outside the door on the left of Huo Boy, and the sparks of green phosphorous were just like ghost fire.
Laughing Buddha said sharply: "Chasing."
Shen Lang scolded lightly again: "Wait a minute. There must be secret passages intertwined in this mausoleum. If the master is easily trapped in it, he may not be able to find a way back. Therefore, you and I must not act rashly."
Sheng Ying sighed: "Brother Tai is indeed right. As far as I know, the secret path in the ancient tomb, except for the original map when the tomb was built, no one can come and go freely..." Looking back unintentionally After taking a look, his complexion suddenly changed again, and he stretched out his hand to the stone table behind him, his fingers were trembling, hissing, but he couldn't say a word.
The Buddha changed his face with a smile and said, "What is so panicking?"
Sheng Ying collected herself, and said: "Just now, my younger brother saw with his own eyes that there was a black iron plate on the stone table, but in the blink of an eye, it...has disappeared."
Mo Xi was horrified: "You...you can see...see clearly?"
Shengying said: "My little brother has been staring at incense in a dark room since he was seven years old. It has been fifteen years now. Although his eyesight is not very good, even a mosquito or an ant within three feet cannot escape his eyes... Fang... the younger brother saw clearly just now, and he is definitely not wrong."
One must know that "Yinhua Dart" Shengying is one of the most outstanding disciples of the Central Plains martial arts family of hidden weapons "Shengjiabao". Since it is said with such certainty, it is absolutely unmistakable.
Moxi's forehead was covered with sweat, and he tremblingly said: "This matter is not a joke, who took the iron plate, please tell me quickly, so that everyone will not worry."
Everyone looked at each other with solemn expressions, but no one spoke.Moxi hissed, "No one will take it. Could it be that the iron plate grew wings and flew away?"
The echoes echoed from all directions, like thunder, rumbling endlessly, from near to far, and from far to near.Obviously, this mausoleum is really deep and vast.But after the echo sounded, no one spoke.
Zhu Qiqi looked at Mo Xi with a sneer and thought to himself: "This guy has a head like a mouse, he's just pretending, maybe he's playing tricks in the dark."
Mo Xi looked at Shengying, and thought to himself: "Could it be that he didn't see anything at all, but deliberately said that he saw it, so as to make others suspicious and he can profit from it?"
Shengying looked at the Laughing Buddha coldly, and thought: "This Laughing Buddha is not weak in martial arts, but he has never heard of this person's reputation in the Jianghu. Could it be that he is also a person in the ghost hall of this mausoleum, who deliberately lured everyone here to die? If so In this way, this iron plate is also taken by him."
Yixiaofo seemed to want to speak a few times, but he didn't dare to say it, he just looked at Shen Lang and thought: "Hmph, this kid's background is really suspicious, he is so young, but his martial arts are so high, these shocking and suspicious things Is it because he is secretly playing tricks on you?" Everyone was suspicious of each other, and they couldn't help themselves, and each took a few steps back. You pay attention to see if my expression changes, and I will pay attention to see what happens to your palms. action.
Only Shen Lang looked calm and not in a hurry.Huo Hai'er said: "There is a ghost outside the door, and the iron plate was also taken away by the ghost. This place is too late, let's go back quickly."
Before he could finish speaking, Mo Xi suddenly let out a miserable cry and fell down.The crowd was even more terrified, Yixiaofo and Shengying seemed to be rushing over to help him up, but Fang Zi took three steps and couldn't help but stop his feet together.
Shen Lang helped Mo Xi up, and saw that his face was pale, his eyes were full of horror, but his eyes could still turn around, and his chest was still heaving; seeing that he was not dead, Shen Lang couldn't help but wonder He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Mo, is there anything wrong?"
Mo Xi said, "Yes... yes... something."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
Mo Xi said: "Fang... just now...someone punched me in the back."
Zhu Qiqi sneered: "There is no one behind you, are you dreaming?"
Mo Xi hissed, "Obviously someone hit me, and my back is still hurting at the moment. I... If I speak half a lie, the discipline will punish heaven and earth, and I will die a good death."
Everyone looked at each other again, not only did no one speak, even there seemed to be no one who was panting.
Sheng Ying sneered and thought to herself: "Who would beat him? It's just that he said that on purpose, so as to teach others to be suspicious, and he can profit from it."
Zhu Qiqi thought: "Who is playing tricks? Could it be this fat monk?"
Laughing Buddha thought: "Either this boy is suspicious, or this woman, I'm afraid it's not a good source. I don't want to fall into the tricks of these two people."
As a result, the suspicion and fear in everyone's hearts became heavier, they doubted each other, guarded each other, looked at each other with scorching eyes, and under the flickering fire, everyone's faces were ashen, and murderous intentions appeared between their brows.
In the deathly silence, Moxi murmured: "Who punched this punch? Who punched it?..." Suddenly he shouted loudly, threw himself at Sheng Ying, and laughed sharply: "You are the only one who can stand upright." The one closest to me, could it be that you did it in secret?"
Sheng Ying said angrily: "You pretended to be a ghost, but you came here to spit blood."
Mo Xi yelled angrily: "Fart..." He punched him in the face and hit him.
Shengying turned over and backed away a few feet, one hand was already in the dart bag.Mo Xi shouted: "Although your hidden weapon in Shengjiabao is powerful, is it possible that I'm afraid of you by 'Ziwu'? Come, come, Momou wants to see, is it your silver flower dart or my soul-inducing needle? .” Both of them were on the verge of breaking out.These two people's concealed weapon skills are both well-known in the martial arts, and they will definitely be out of control after this attack.
But at this moment, how can others sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?The Laughing Buddha yelled and pulled Mo Xi back, Shen Lang also persuaded Sheng Ying, and said in a deep voice: "At this moment, how can the two of you kill each other? Could it be that the secret enemy saw it..."
Mo Xi tremblingly said: "Who is there in the dark?"
Shen Lang said in a deep voice: "If there is no one, who punched?"
Huo Haier said sharply: "Ghost...Ghost...It must be a ghost..."
Suddenly there was a sound of "噗", the torch in Buddha's hand was suddenly extinguished, the surroundings became even darker, and the chill in everyone's hearts became heavier.
The Buddha of a Laugh hissed with a laugh: "Okay, okay, let's fight, you guys, anyway, none of us want to get out alive today, so let's just watch you have a good fight."
Although he relaxed Moxi's arm, but Moxi's palm trembled, how dare he make a move?
Shengying said loudly: "Whether you and I are advancing or retreating, we need to make a quick decision at this moment, or rush over, even if we die, it is better than staying here and waiting to die."
Before the words were finished, Shen Lang suddenly opened his mouth and blew out the fire in his hand, and the surroundings immediately became pitch black, and he really couldn't see his fingers.Everyone shouted in unison, and said with a smile, "Msg... what are you doing?"
Shen Lang said in a deep voice: "This kind of fire is extremely precious at this moment. No matter whether you advance or retreat, you can't do without it. How can you let it go to waste here. When you and I make a decision, there will be no fire to shine on at that time. What should I do?"
Everyone gasped when they thought of the situation when Ruo Wuhuo illuminated the road.
Shengying sighed: "It's still my husband's thoughtful thinking... If the fire is burnt out, you and I can neither advance nor retreat, then we will really be trapped here to die..."
Suddenly, in the darkness, only Huo Hai'er's voice could be heard, shouting loudly and hissing: "Seventh sister, why are you pinching me?"
Zhu Qiqi said: "I... I didn't screw you."
Huo Hai'er said: "No...it's not you, it's...who is it?"
Shen Lang, Sheng Ying, Mo Xi, and Yixiao Buddha blurted out in unison: "It's not me either."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately stopped talking, everyone felt horrified, thinking of someone in the dark who would twist and punch him, everyone felt a trace of coldness coming from their skin. When I came out, my clothes were chilly and drenched in cold sweat.
Huo Hai'er tremblingly said: "Go... let's go, let's go if it's too late..."
The voice suddenly stopped, and in the darkness, only heard - a slight sound of footsteps, Deng!board!Deng... One step after another, faintly heard, every foot seemed to be on the hearts of everyone.
The crowd couldn't help but leaned down and hissed, "What... who is it?"
Only one person outside said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
Laughing Buddha and Zhu Qiqi shielded their chests with both fists, while Sheng Ying and Mo Xi held hidden weapons tightly in their palms.But I saw a fire shining from outside the door.The sound of footsteps suddenly stopped outside the door.
In the faint light of the fire, the Laughing Buddha flashed behind the door and gestured to Shengying, who coughed dryly and said, "Friends outside the door, please come in."
There was a moment of dejection outside, suddenly a palm stretched out from behind the door, and it hit the stone door, there was a loud "bang", the heavy stone door was moved several feet away, even a smile Buddha couldn't help it. Hiding behind the door, he swept back a few feet in the air, and the stone door suddenly opened.A figure flashed outside the door, Zi Wu urged Mo Xi to give birth silently, and raised his hand to throw out a poisonous needle.But after hearing a tinkling sound, all the poisonous needles were hit on the stone gate, Zi Wu, the master of concealed weapons who has ruled the world for a long time, has a weak heart at this moment, and even missed the aim of the concealed weapon.
While the flames were flashing, a big man stood in front of the door with a torch held high. His body was as straight as a diamond, and against the endless darkness behind him, he looked even more majestic and unstoppable.Only then did everyone see clearly that this was the big man with the kite back and the wasp waist, the eagle eyes and the wide mouth. It was obvious that after he sent his wife and daughter back to the inn, he went back and forth again.
Mo Xi took a breath and said, "So it's you."
The big man said coldly: "Isn't it too reckless for a friend to kill you suddenly without distinguishing right from wrong?"
Mo Xi giggled dryly and said, "This..."
Laughing Buddha suddenly said sharply: "At this moment, everyone's life is at stake. It is better to strike first. Even if it is wrong, it is better than being killed. If you still refuse to tell me your name and origin, friend , I will inevitably offend if I do not distinguish between friend and foe."
The big man said angrily: "Could it be that a certain family is also a ghost in this ancient tomb?"
A smiling Buddha said: "It's hard to say."
The big man looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "You must take a look at the history of a certain family, it's not impossible, but I want to ask you first, do you know the four lines of verses that the Great Compassionate Master said when he left?"
Laughing Buddha pondered for a while, his face changed again, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be: when the white clouds reappeared and the purple evil reappeared. In the wild martial arts forest, the chaos begins!"
The big man said sharply: "That's right. This generation of eminent monks seemed to be able to foresee the future disasters in the martial arts ten years ago, so he said the last four lines of Zen gatha, and then he left with tears in his eyes. Sha Shou reappears in the Jianghu, and the period of great chaos in the martial arts is coming again."
The Laughing Buddha shouted loudly: "What does this have to do with you?"
The big man laughed wildly and said, "Just look at what this is."
Amid wild laughter, he slowly stretched out his palm.Under the flickering of the flames, one saw the palm of his hand, the five fingers seemed to be of the same length, and the palm was surprisingly dark purple in color, emitting an indescribably strange light.
Everyone was shocked and blurted out: "Zi Sha Shou."
The big man said deeply word by word: "Yes, Zishashou, the dragon of troubled times..."
Mo Xi hissed: "Good thief, Anyang Wuyi was actually killed by you." He raised his palm and threw out another hidden weapon.
The "Troubled Times God Dragon Zisha Hand" snarled, and with a wave of his hand, he chopped off all the hidden weapons, and sternly shouted: "Are you crazy? What nonsense!"
Moxi gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "Anyang Wuyi died under Zisha's hand, who else could make Zisha's hand besides you? You... you can give back the lives of the five of them." Angrily shouted Zhong then rushed forward and slapped the big man's chest with his palm, but Shen Lang gently supported his elbow before he could send out the palm.Moxi hissed, "What... are you going to do?"
Shen Lang said: "Brother Mo, please calm down and think about it carefully. When Anyang Wuyi was killed, this brother was with you and me. How could he come here?" drooping.
The big man said angrily: "What's going on here? Could it be that this guy has been frightened crazy when he came here?"
Shen Lang cupped his fists and said with a smile: "I don't dare to ask brother for advice. It is said that in the past, the great hero of the Great Dragon and Willow had an only daughter who grew up in the thousands of miles of desert outside the Great Wall, but she didn't know her relationship with Your Excellency..."
The big man cut off and said, "That's the clumsy thorn."
Shen Lang said: "I don't think your Excellency is the son-in-law of the great hero Liu, disrespectful and disrespectful." His voice paused and he continued: "Everyone in the martial arts knows that Zisha's masculinity is unparalleled in the world, but it must be cultivated with a pure yang man's body , but in the past years, the master and apprentice of the poisonous hand searched for souls died at the same time. Since then, it has never been passed down, but I don't think Liu Daxia's daughter can't practice this kind of palm strength herself, but she passed on the secrets of practicing kung fu to her brother, and the martial arts' unique skills are passed on from now on, really congratulations."
A slight smile appeared on the corner of the big man's mouth, and he said slowly: "Brother Tai is young and handsome, and his stories about martial arts are like treasures from a family, so he must belong to a famous family."
Shen Lang said: "I'm sinking into the waves, little pawn. Your brother's surname is Gao?"
The big man said: "Iron Crane."
Shen Lang clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Dragon appears in troubled times, Sri Lankan people have turned into cranes, famous scholars have their own good names."
Tie Huahe laughed and said: "Brother's words are very elegant." The murderous aura in the eyebrows disappeared in Shen Lang's few words.
Shen Lang suppressed his smile, and said in a deep voice: "But in today's Jianghu, besides Brother Tie, there must be someone who also possesses the secret skill of 'Zisha Hand', but Brother Tie doesn't know about it yet."
Tie Huahe frowned and said, "How can you tell?"
Shen Lang immediately told about the death of Jin Lin, the great righteous man of Anyang Wuyi Middle School, who died of the "Zisha hand". Tie Huahe's complexion immediately changed, and he said sharply: "I don't want to be in this ancient tomb. , there is such a strange thing, the poisonous hands search the soul, and there is no descendant, so where did this 'Zisha hand' come from, and a certain family has to find out today." Holding the torch high , strode in.
The Buddha of a Laugh laughed and said: "Yes, this brother Tie is brave enough. If he doesn't enter the tiger's lair, how can he get a tiger cub?" He walked into the first door on the right side by side with Tie Huahe, and looked back: "Mo Xi, Sheng Ying , do you dare to come?"
Mo Xi and Sheng Ying looked at each other, and finally bit the bullet and walked in.
Zhu Qiqi looked at Shen Lang and said, "What about us?"
Shen Lang raised his eyes and saw that Tie Huahe and the other four had turned into the door, the flames gradually faded away, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Huo Hai'er and said, "What do you think?"
Huo Haier tremblingly said: "Let's go, there must be..."
Before the word "ghost" was uttered, Shen Lang suddenly made a move like the wind, with his thumb, shi, and middle three fingers, he tightly clasped Huohaier's meridian at the door of the door, and raised his left palm to pat the big Quchi acupoint between his elbows .
Zhu Qiqi was shocked and said, "What are you doing?"
Shen Lang said: "Do you still think this is your eighth brother?" With his left hand, he waved the fire fold, handed it to Zhu Qiqi, and said sharply, "Look who he is." He tore off the mask of "Fire Boy" and revealed a A face with goose skin and white hair—it turns out that when the fire boy entered the cave, he had already turned into a flower stamen fairy.
Zhu Qiqi was even more shocked, and said: "Where is the eighth brother? You... What did you do to him?"
Huaruixian was suddenly restrained, her face was full of panic, she bowed her head and said: "I tapped the dizziness point on the old eighth, wrapped it in a fur, and hid it, nothing will happen for a while."
It was only then that Zhu Qiqi remembered that when he entered the cave, Huo Haier chased him after a while, and he exclaimed outside the cave, he must have been tampered with by Huarui Xian at that time.After the grave, she also noticed that the voice of "Huo Boy" had changed a little, but she thought that he was too frightened and caught a cold, so his voice was inevitably hoarse, so she didn't pay attention to it.
At this moment, she suddenly found that Huaruixian was bullying her so much, her heart was full of shock and anger, she paused and said: "You...why are you doing this to him? Are you crazy?" Huaruixian lowered her head even lower, Zhu Qi Qidao: "Speak, talk... I want to hear why you resorted to such means against me."
Shen Lang said in a deep voice: "She didn't deal with you alone. There was a flash of green fire outside the door just now, and it was also her trick. When everyone else's eyes were attracted, she hid the iron plate on the table , and then quietly punched Moxi. Others regarded her as a child, so they would not suspect her. As for her yelling in the dark that someone pinched her, it was only because of herself that she was playing tricks... "The voice paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "It was because of this last time that I saw the flaw. Just imagine that she wears a mask on her face, who can twist her face?"
Zhu Qiqi was even more stunned when he heard it, and after a long while, Fang Zi took a long breath and said, "So it's her, it's all her, it really scared me to death."
Shen Lang smiled slightly and said: "You were almost scared to death by her, and you are not the only one?"
Zhu Qiqi said: "Our whole family has been treating her kindly, why did she help the monster in this ancient tomb to scare us? She also restrained the eighth child..." The more she said, the more annoyed she became, and she suddenly slapped her back , slapped Huaruixian on the face: "You said, why? Why? Why?"
Immortal Huarui suddenly raised her head and stared at Zhu Qiqi, her eyes glowed with hatred and resentment, but she still kept her mouth tightly shut, refusing to say a word.Zhu Qiqi has been with her for many years, and she has never seen such a vicious look in her eyes, and he felt a chill in his heart.Seeing Huaruixian roar suddenly, with all his strength, he kicked Shen Lang's lower abdomen with his two feet in the air.
With a slight flash, Shen Lang dodged himself.Huaruixian seemed to have been aroused by Zhu Qiqi's palm to arouse her ferocious nature, at this moment she was like a wild beast, punching and kicking, but her veins were restrained, and she couldn't even touch Shen Lang's clothes.Huaruixian opened her mouth to reveal her white teeth, and bit down on the back of Shen Lang's hand, Shen Lang lifted her arm behind her back.
Even though Huaruixian has the ability to reach the sky, she can't resist anymore at this moment, but the surly and fierce look on her face still makes people feel chilling.
Shen Lang said softly: "I know that you deliberately created a terrifying mood in the ancient tomb, just to let us leave this place quickly. But what is this for? Could it be that there is some secret in this ancient tomb that you don't want us to know? What do you have to do with this ancient tomb? As long as you say it out loud, I will never make things difficult for you."
Huaruixian hissed: "You let go, I say."
Shen Lang smiled and said: "If I let go, it will be difficult to catch you."
Huaruixian let out a low growl, turned her body upside down, kicked her feet back from the top of her head, and kicked Shen Lang in the chest, but Shen Lang shook her hands and threw her feet off again.花蕊仙咬牙切齿，道：“好，你折磨我，我要教你死无葬身之地，我要将你舌头拔出，眼睛挖下，牙齿一只只敲碎，头发一根根拔光……”
朱七七骇得惊呼一声，颤声道：“住口……你……你莫要再说了。”
花蕊仙狞笑道：“我说说你就害怕了么？等我真的做出了，你又当如何？快叫他放手，否则……”
朱七七顿足道：“你受伤将死，我家收容了你；你被人冤屈，我想尽法子替你出气；你昔日作孽作得太多，有时半夜会做恶梦，我晚上就陪着你，哪知……哪知我换来的竟是如此结果……”说着说着语声渐渐哽咽，两行清泪，自双目中夺眶而出。
花蕊仙怔了一怔，垂下头去，乖戾的面容上，露出一丝惭愧之色，张口似乎要说什么，但终于还是一个字也没有说出。
沈浪缓缓道：“你为何如此做？你为何直到此刻还不肯说？莫非这占墓中有个什么人，你必定维护着他，这人莫非是你的姐妹兄弟……”
花蕊仙厉喝一声，叫道：“你怎会知道？”语声出口，才发觉自己说漏了嘴，怒骂道：“小畜生，你……你休想再自我口中骗出一个字来。”
沈浪脸色微变，但仍是心平气和，缓缓说：“想不到花夫人你竟还有兄弟姐妹活在世上。你为着他们，也该说的，说出来后，我也可帮你设法，否则今日纵被你将我们骗出去了，但这古墓的秘密，既已传说出去，迟早总有一日，要被江湖豪杰探个明白，那时你后悔只怕也来不及了。”他语声虽平静，却带着种奇异的慑人之力。
火光下，只见花蕊仙双目之中，突也流下泪来，顿声道：“我说出来，你会帮着我么？”
沈浪道：“我若不帮着你，方才为何不当着别人揭穿你的秘密？你是聪明人，这道理难道还想不通？”
花蕊仙咬一咬牙，道：“好，我说。二十年前，我们就知道这里有个藏宝的古墓。那时我十三天魔虽正值横行武林之际，但时时刻刻都得防备着仇家追踪，是以也无暇前来挖宝。后来衡山一役，十三魔几乎死得干干净净，我也只有将这古墓的秘密，永远藏在心底。想不到这秘密终于被人发现了。”
朱七七动容道：“你为了维护这古墓的秘密，不让别人染指，所以就使出这手段来么？”
花蕊仙苍老的面容，起了一阵抽搐，道：“不是。”
朱七七讶然道：“那又是为了什么？”
花蕊仙道：“只因……只因我发觉这些在古墓中中毒被杀的人，全是被'立地销魂散'毒死的，而这'立地销魂散'，却是我花家的独门秘方，普天之下，只有我大哥'销魂天魔'花梗仙能够配制。”
沈浪、朱七七不由得悚然变色，朱七七骇然道：“销魂天魔花梗仙，岂非早已在衡山一役中丧命了么？”
花蕊仙道：“衡山一役，到了后五天中，情况已是大乱，每日里都有许多不同之谣言传出，但谁也不知道真相如何。那时当真是人心惶惶，每个人都已多少有了些疯狂之征象，我十三天魔本自分成两帮觅路上山，到后来却已四零八散，我只听得大哥花梗仙死在乱云涧中，却始终没有见到他的尸首。”
朱七七道：“如此说来，你大哥死讯可能是假的。”
花蕊仙缓缓道：“想来必是假的。”
朱七七道：“如……如此说来，莫非你大哥此刻便在这古墓中不成？”
花蕊仙垂眉敛目，冷冷道：“想来必是如此，'立地销魂散'既在这古墓中出现，'销魂天魔'自然也在这里了。”
沈浪突然微笑道：“那'立地销魂散'，说不定乃是你大哥的鬼魂在墓中炼制的亦未可知。”
花蕊仙身子一震，但瞬即狞笑道：“在这古墓中，纵是我大哥的鬼魂，我也要帮着他的，决不能容外人前来骚扰。”突然用左手自怀中掏出一面铁牌，又道：“你又认得这是什么？”
沈浪就着朱七七手中火折光亮，凝目瞧了两眼，只见那黝黑的铁牌上，竟似隐隐有烟波流动，瞧得越是仔细，感觉这小小一块铁牌上，竟似含有苍穹险暝，云气开合之势，变化万端，不可方物，沈浪不禁微微变色道：“这岂非昔年天下第一绝毒暗器'天云五花绵'的主人，云梦仙子之'天云令'么？”
花蕊仙道：“果然有些眼光。”
朱七七骇然道：“威震天下之'天云令'突然重现，云梦仙子那女魔头莫非也未死么？”
花蕊仙缓缓道：“别人之生死，我虽不敢断定，但这云梦仙子昔年死在'九州王'沈天君'乾坤第一指'下时，我却是亲眼见到的。”
朱七七变色道：“死人的东西，怎……怎会在这里？”
花蕊仙冷冷道：“'紫煞手神功'、'立地销魂散'、'天云令'，这些有哪件不是死人的东西？而如今却都在这古墓中出现，可见这古墓中鬼魂非只一人。我与他们生为良朋，死为鬼友，岂容他们灵地为外人所扰？你们还是快快出去吧，否则也要与一笑佛、铁化鹤他们同样的下场了。”
沈浪悚然道：“他们如何下场？”语声未了，突然发觉一笑佛、铁化鹤这些人走进去的那扇门户，竟已不知在何时无声无息地关了起来，沈浪等专神留意着花蕊仙，竟未发现。
朱七七不禁骇然大呼道：“这……这扇门……”
花蕊仙纵声大笑道：“你们此刻才发现么？……这古墓之中，又添了几个义鬼，我留在这里，怎会寂寞？……但念在昔日之情，我劝你们还是快快走吧……”凄厉的笑声，听来当真令人毛骨悚然。
沈浪目光转动，断定这八扇门户，确是依“八卦”之理所建，不禁皱眉道：“他们走的这扇乃是生门，怎会成为绝地？”拉着花蕊仙掠过去，全力一掌，拍在门上，只听“砰”的一声大震，石门纹丝不动，显见这石门之沉厚，却非任何人力所能开启。
石门的震击声，凄厉的狂笑声，四下回应，有如雷鸣。
忽然间，十余个身持火把，腰佩利刃的大汉，自门外一拥而人，原来四下回声，掩住了他们的脚步声，是以直到他们入门后，沈浪与朱七七方才发觉，骇然回顾，只见当中两人，竟是那彭立人与万事通。
沈浪道：“彭兄居然真的来了，倒教在下……”
一句话未曾说完，彭立人身后突有几人狂吼而出，道：“小贱人，原来你在这里，爷们追你追得好苦呀。”这几人正是那“穿云雁”易如风、“扑天雕”李挺、“神眼鹰”方千里，与那“威武镖局”之总镖头展英松。
原来他几人一路追至沁阳，虽未追着朱七七，却见到了彭立人，彭立人与他们乃是素识，一见他们之面，就忙着将这古墓的秘密说出，而且定要催着他们到古墓中一瞧究竟。方千里与展英松等人本是好事之徒，被彭立人万事通再三鼓动，便一齐来到这里。
朱七七眼波一转，悄声道：“不好，对头找上门来了……”身形突然斜斜掠起，闪入了另一重门户，却偏偏还要回首笑道：“这里面可全都是厉鬼冤魂，你们可敢过来么？”眼角有意无意间向沈浪一瞟，沈浪暗中跺了跺脚，只得拉着花蕊仙，相随而人。
“扑天雕”李挺怒喝道：“你就算跑到鬼门关，李某也要追去。”长刀出鞘，身形乍展，却被方千里一把拉住。
但见白衣飘拂，朱七七已没入黑暗中。
沈浪追过去，沉声道：“你好大的胆子，怎敢如此轻易闯入？”
朱七七轻笑道：“一不做二不休，花蕊仙说得越是怕人，我越是要看个清楚。反正咱们有她陪着，她哥哥无论是人是鬼，总得给咱们留下点情面。何况，与其叫我落入方千里那群人手中，还不如索性被鬼弄死的好。”
沈浪叹道：“你这样的脾气，只怕连鬼见了都要头疼。”
突听“哗”的轻轻一响，身后的石门，又紧紧关起，将门外的人声与火光，一齐隔断。朱七七手中火折已熄，四下立时被黑暗吞没。
门外的“扑天雕”李挺正在向方千里厉声道：“大哥怎的不让我追，莫非又要眼见这贱人逃走不成。”
方千里冷笑道：“他们走的乃是'死门'，反正也休想活着回来了，咱们追什么？”话犹未了，果然有一道石闸落下，隔断了门户。
李挺悚然道：“好险，若非大哥还懂得奇门八卦之学，小弟此刻只怕也被关在里面了。”
方千里两眼一翻，冷冷道：“话又说回来了，这古墓中所藏如若是人，奇门八卦之术自然有用；这古墓中所藏若是鬼魂……嘿嘿，只怕纵然诸葛武侯复生，也一样要被困在绝路之中。”
“穿云雁”易如风沉声道：“那丫头既已被逼得走入绝路，咱们这口怨气总算已出，不如就此全身而退，也免得多惹事故。”
展英松等人俱都沉吟不语，显见心里已有些活动。要知这些人虽然俱是胆大包天的角色，但见了这古墓中之森森鬼气，仍不觉有些心寒。
万事通与彭立人偷偷交换了个眼色，彭立人突然大声道：“这古墓中藏宝之丰，冠于天下，咱们入了宝山，可不能空手而回。无论这里藏的是人是鬼，咱们这些人也未必怕了他们。”
万事通悠悠道：“各位若是怕了，不妨退去，但我与彭兄么……嘿！好歹都是要闯上一闯的。”
展英松怒道：“谁怕了？我威武镖局门下，从无临阵退缩之人，咱们闯。”立有七八人哄应一声，抢步而出。
神眼鹰方千里冷冷道：“我'风林三鸟'，也未必是怕事的人，但却也不是单逞匹夫之勇的鲁莽之徒，咱们纵然要闯，也得先要有个通盘之计，展总镖头，你说愚兄可有道理？”
展英松道：“依方兄之意又待如何？”
方千里道：“咱们这些人，正好分做两拨，一拨前去探路，一拨留此接应，一面连以长索，以免探路的人迷失路途，走不回来。”
彭立人拊掌道：“方兄果然计虑周详，但，谁去探路？”
方千里道：“待我与展总镖头猜枚定赌局，负者探路。”
展英松道：“就是这么说。”
方千里将一只手藏在背后，道：“总镖头请猜我手指单双。”
展英松沉吟半晌，道：“单。”
方千里微微一笑，伸出两根手指，道：“双。”
展英松厉声道：“好，咱们去探路。威武门下，跟着我来。”
彭立人冷忖道：“这方千里当真是个老狐狸！他手掌藏在背后，展英松赌单，他便伸出两指；展英松赌双，他便伸出五指。如此赌法，赌到明年，展英松也休想胜上一盘。只是……今日你们既已入了古墓，便休想有一个人直着走出去，胜负又有何两样？”当下大声道：“小弟陪展兄一同探路。”
方千里取出一盘长索，将绳头交给了展英松，道：“总镖头且将绳头缚在身上，长索尽时，无论走到哪里，总镖头都必须回来，一路上也必须留下标志。如若半途有变，总镖头只需将长索一扯，我等立去接应。”
展英松道：“知道了。”将绳头系在腰间，大喝道：“跟我来。”高举火把，大步当先，走入了一重门户。随行之镖头中，突有一人颤声道：“这道门若是也落下来，咱们岂非要被关在其中？”
李挺道：“这个无妨。此门若有石闸落下，我与易三弟还可托住一时，那口才展大哥扯动绳索，各位便可赶紧回来。”
展英松大笑道：“人道'扑天雕'非但轻功卓绝，而且还具有一身神力，看来此话果然不虚……如此，就有劳李兄了。”声落，和彭立人及手下镖头，九人鱼贯而人，九枝火把，将门内石道照得通明。
直待九人身形去远，李挺叫道：“展英松倒也是条汉子。”
方千里冷冷道：“只可惜太蠢了些。”
展英松当先而行，脚步亦是十分沉稳，但是这秘道顶高两丈，四面皆石，曲折绵长，似无尽头。石道两旁也有一扇扇门户，但都紧紧关闭，推之不开。
彭立人却远远压在最后，手持双刀，面带微笑，一副心安理得之态，似乎深信这些人都死光了，他也决不会有任何凶险。走了段路途，彭立人长刀突展，将绳索割断，前行之人，自然谁也没有瞧见，彭立人这才赶上前去，沉声道：“展兄有何所见？”
展英松摇头叹道：“想不到这古墓竟有这般的大……”突见前路一扇门户，竟开启了一半，门里竟似隐隐有火光闪动，展英松心头一震，骇然道：“这里莫非还有人在？”一步掠了过去，探首而望。
只见门里乃是一间六角石室，六角分放着六具铜棺，当中竟还有一盏铜灯，发出像鬼火似的光芒，此外别无人踪。这铜灯也不知是何人燃起的，何时燃起的，绿惨惨的火光映着绿惨惨的铜棺，一种诡秘恐怖之意，令人几将窒息。
展英松长长喘了口气，道：“进不进去？”
彭立人沉吟道：“你我不如拉动绳索，让方兄等人进来再作商议。”
展英松道：“好。”反手扯着绳索，扯了一阵，只觉绳索空荡荡的，毫无着力之处。展英松面色微变，猛力收索，突见绳头又现，这才发现长索竟已断了。众人齐声惊呼，一人道：“咱们快退吧！”
彭立人跺足道：“这……这是谁弄的手脚？此刻事变已生，再退也来不及了，不如索性往里面闯一闯，好歹瞧个究竟。”
展英松沉吟半晌，猛一顿足咬牙道：“生死由命，富贵在天，展英松今日若要死在这里……唉，就死吧，闯。”身形一闪，入了石室。
彭立人道：“我来守着这道门户，各位请进。”众人面色苍白，脚步犹疑，彭立人目光一闪又道：“那铜棺之中，说不定便是宝藏所在之地……”话犹未了，众人已蜂拥而入，彭立人嘴角泛起一丝狞笑，脚步一缩，突然将那石门一推，门里暗藏机簧，“咯”的一声，便关得死死的了。
门内人发现不好，惊呼出声时，石门已闭，瞬即将惊呼之声隔断。这时石道中突有一条灰影闪出，行动间了无声息，彭立人还未觉察，只是狞笑低语道：“展英松，你莫怪我，这……”
突听身后响起一个冷冰冰的语声，阴侧恻截口道：“这件事你办得不错，现在，快回去扯动那根断索，好教方千里等人进来送死。”
彭立人辨出这语声又是那灰袍人发出的，双膝虽已骇得发软，但仍勉强颤抖着举步而行。只听那鬼魅般的语声又道：“一直走，别回头，对你自有好处。你若想回头偷看，便教你与他们一般下场。”
在外面，方千里目光凝注着长索，李挺、易如风，紧立在展英松走入的那扇门户两旁。长索渐尽，突然不再动了。方千里自不知绳索已断，只是皱眉沉吟道：“展英松为何不往前走了，莫非已发现了什么……”
众人屏息静气，等候动静，只觉这时间实是过得缓慢无比。众人手脚冰冷，呼吸渐渐沉重，也不知过了多久……突见绳索被扯动三下，过了半晌，又扯动三下，李挺耸然道：“里面有变，咱们去接应。”
方千里冷笑道：“你真要去接应么？莫非要陪他送死？”
李挺呆了一呆，道：“这……”
万事通目光一转，突然说道：“展英松只怕在里面发现了藏宝亦未可知，各位不去，在下却要进去的。”展动身形，掠了进去。
方千里阴沉的面色，亦已动容，默然半晌，突也大声道：“咱们与展某虽无交情，但江湖道义却不可不守，走，进去助他一臂。”率领手下，亦是一拥而人，李挺、易如风双双断后。
万事通暗笑忖道：“老狐狸，满腹阴险，满口仁义，明明是贪得宝藏，偏偏还要嘴上卖乖，但这次也要叫你这老狐狸有进无出。”众人方自走出一箭之地，身后门户已然紧紧关闭。
易如风首先发觉，大喝道：“不好，咱们中计了。”
方千里自也大骇，反身察看，但集众人之力，也休想将那石门动弹分毫。方千里悚然道：“今日你我已是有进无退，索性往里闯吧。”又走了两箭之地，便赫然发现那已被斩断的绳头。
众人更是大惊失色，李挺颤声道：“展……展英松他们到哪里去了？莫非已遭了毒手？”
方千里面寒如铁，闭嘴不答，目光凝注着前方一步步走了进去。众人虽然心寒胆怯，但事已至此，只得跟在他身后。突然发现一道紧闭着的石门前，有枝已熄灭的火把，火把虽灭，犹有余温，可见熄灭还未多久。方千里拾起火把，容颜更是骇人，缓缓道：“这正是他们拿进来的，看来……”戛然住口，再向前行。
他话虽未说出，但众人均已知他言下之意，正是说展英松已是凶多吉少。人人心中除了恐惧之外，又不觉加了一分悲痛。但此时多言亦无益，众人只有闭着嘴巴，硬着头皮前行。前面突然发现有三条岔路，三岔路口上，赫然竟有条血淋淋的手臂，鲜血犹未凝固，手掌紧握成拳，惟有食指伸出，指着左面一条路。右面一条路上，火光可照之处，一路竟都是枯骨，有的完整，有的震散，有的枯骨手中，还握着刀剑。闪闪寒光，森森白骨，衬托出一种凄迷诡异之画面，有如人们在噩梦中所见景象一般。
李挺倒抽口冷气，道：“还……还往前走么？”
方千里道：“不走又如何？”
李挺道：“但前面也似是……死……死路一条。”
方千里冷冷道：“本就是死路一条。”
李挺嘶声道：“这古墓中人，为何定要将咱们全都置之死地？”
方千里沉声道：“此番被诱人这古墓之人，来历不同，互相亦毫无关系，但古墓中人却要将这些人置之死地，可见绝非为了仇怨……”
易如风道：“却又是为了什么？”
方千里道：“依我看来，这古墓中必定蕴藏着一个绝大阴谋，这阴谋也似乎正是武林动乱之前奏，你我便都成了这次阴谋中之祭品。”
万事通道：“方兄已认定在这古墓中的是人非鬼么？”
方千里冷笑道：“世上哪有什么鬼魂，除非……”突听身后传来一声冷笑，方千里等毛发立时为之悚然，一齐转身望去。
但见后面石道空荡荡，哪有一条人影，再回头时，那条血淋淋的手臂，已改变了方向，手指赫然已指着中央一条道路。众人再也忍不住，放声惊呼起来，也不知是谁，颤声呼道：“这……这……这不是鬼是什么？”
方千里飞起一步，将断臂踢开，大喝道
