Chapter 171.

Tang Yuyi brought Li Tianyu with her, and Luo Qingyi chased after her when she said she would.

Jing Tan Jushi followed closely behind.

On Dao Wu Ming’s side, there was no need to say much.

Ning Jiuji Kite would inevitably catch up, and although Gu Sheng Yan wasn’t too willing and was a bit resistant to the surroundings, she saw that Dao Wuming and Ning Jiuji Kite were both going.

She could only honestly follow.

In this way, Cheng Tianyang, Man Sheng Ming, Mr. Big and the others were left in this post.

Looking at the people from the Blood Sword Hall outside.

Xuanyuan Yidao had already climbed up from the ground at this time, his injuries were not light and he was being assisted by two disciples.

However, he didn’t care to heal his wounds, and with a wave of his hand, he commanded the Blood Sword Hall disciples to go after him.

Cheng Tianyang slightly thought, in the end can not stay here to watch.

He could only leave some manpower to take care of the darts, and then led the rest of the people to chase after them.

They were outnumbered and set off the latest.

Along the traces of about a tea effort, heard in the air, the faint sound of bells ringing.

Looking for the sound, they saw a human head floating alone in mid-air under the rainy night.

Cheng Tianyang frowned slightly:

“Be careful, there’s a formation!”

He could already see that the human head appeared to be suspended in the air, but it was actually connected by silk threads.

“It’s raining heavily tonight, the vision is already unclear, someone is hanging silk threads here to form a formation to invite the king into the jar.

“This person uses silk threads to decapitate people, just like picking up a bag.

“If you step into this formation, you’ll be torn apart if you’re not careful.

“You guys wait here, I’ll go in and explore.”

“Chief Bodyguard, no!”

Someone behind him immediately spoke up:

“This place is exceptionally dangerous, you can’t risk your life.”

Cheng Tianyang however shook his head:

“Young Swordsman Jiang and the others are rare benevolent and righteous people in the Jianghu Lake, we are caught up in the rules and cannot act rashly, it is already a bit of a shame to our friends.

“Now that we know they may be in danger, how can we turn a blind eye?

“Alright, no more nonsense, you guys meet here, I’ll go and come.”

The crowd of dart masters immediately frowned, wanting to persuade but knowing that they couldn’t, they could only sigh:

“Then we will wait here for Chief Bodyguard.”

Cheng Tianyang nodded slightly and was about to move forward, but as if he had thought of something, he stretched out his hand:

“Give me a knife.”

Immediately, a bodyguard handed him his personal knife.

After receiving the single knife, he turned his head and stepped into the silk thread formation circle.

However, he heard footsteps coming from behind him, and when he turned around, it was Man Sheng Ming who followed him.

With four eyes facing each other, Man Sheng Ming spoke softly:

“Together.”

“Good.”

Cheng Tianyang smiled, so he carefully explored forward together with Man Sheng Ming.

In the early stages of this Suspended Silk Knot Formation, the gaps were still large, and although there were some dangers they weren’t too excessive.

The two people went all the way forward and soon found the traces, they saw Cheng Tianyang stretching out his hand and gently scratched, a sharp pain came from his fingertips, surprisingly, he had been scratched by this almost invisible thin line.

A smear of blood, just like this appeared out of thin air, and was washed away by the rain.

Cheng Tianyang pondered slightly and glanced at Man Sheng Ming, seeing him gently nodding his head, only then did he backhand the hilt of his sword.

With a swift chop!

A tinkling sound was heard.

A flash of buzzing sound after buzzing sound came from all directions.

Cheng Tianyang’s face changed drastically:

“Not good!!!”

The fall of this blade did not just fail to cut off this silk thread, but instead caused it to take on the momentum of a wave recoiling.

Under such a counterattack, it was not certain that they would all be caught up in this wave and die in pieces.

In a state of shock, Cheng Tianyang’s footwork changed, and he struck out four Nine Heavy Shocking Mountain Palms one after the other.

His palm power was thick, one palm strike was like a gale sweeping through.

He was able to push that thin line not to immediately cut it down.

Immediately after that, he only felt his wrist tighten, and in the next moment, he was yanked by Man Sheng Ming and began to flow amongst the threads.

Cheng Tianyang momentarily horrified face colorless.

I said with all my strength may not be able to swing away from the thin line of murder, now this kind of chaotic running, it is not certain which one was silk thread rolled, will end up in a quarter of the end.

This word is like gold, how so pugilistic?

Between thoughts, but suddenly heard not far from the sound of screams one after another.

Looking up, he saw that the disciples of the Blood Sword Hall, who were also caught in this formation, were now being chopped into pieces by the flying filaments.

Their martial arts skills were not as good as Cheng Tianyang and Man Sheng Ming, and even less so as Man Sheng Ming who was so good at scurrying ……

Falling into this place, naturally, there is no way to survive.

In Cheng Tianyang watching the happy time, suddenly felt a foot, a turn of the head to find Man Sheng Ming has stopped.

Look at the surrounding environment, not complicated.

This is …… dead in the live?

Cheng Tianyang momentarily surprised and happy, but can not help but look at Man Sheng Ming, do not know how he did.

Man Sheng Ming thought for a while before spitting out four words:

“Qi Men …… Transported Armor.”

“So, Grand Warrior Manchu is still proficient in the art of Qi Men Transported Armor?

“Lost respect lost respect!”

Cheng Tianyang hastily clasped his fists.

Man Sheng Ming shook his head:

“Slightly understand …… slightly understand …… you …… you see …… ”

He reached out and pointed, Cheng Tianyang followed his finger and saw that ‘Li Tianxin’, Luo Qingyi and the others were surprisingly not far from where they were.

They were getting together with Dao Wu Ming, Ning Jiu Kite and the others, saying something.

Immediately, he hurriedly said:

“Great Warrior Man, how do we get over there?”

“Follow …… me.”

Man Sheng Ming lived up to his name as a great warrior, his person was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but he was also well educated.

The formation that this old man had set up in this place, in his eyes, was even half a mystery.

So much so that when he led Cheng Tianyang to find ‘Li Tianxin’ and the others, it was as if he had stepped into his own backyard garden with ease.

In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived close by, and then he heard that Dao Wu Ming said in a deep voice:

“It seems that this person is the ‘Golden Bell and Silver Thread’ of the past years!”

“Golden Bell Silver Thread?”

Cheng Tianyang froze at his words and subconsciously said:

“The Golden Bell and Silver Thread that you mentioned, is it not the grave-digging robber of the past?”

“Chief Bodyguard Cheng has arrived.”

“See Chief Bodyguard Cheng.”

Hearing Cheng Tianyang open his mouth, the crowd immediately met with him again.

After each of them had politely exchanged a few words, Dao Wu Ming then said:

“What Chief Bodyguard Cheng said is right, just now when I watched that old man perform his tricks, the only thing I could think of was Mr. Silver Thread.

“This person uses thread as a blade, his methods are very powerful, and many years ago a large tomb came out in the land of North Huai.

“The court immediately sent someone to look after it, but I didn’t want it to be patronized by this gang of gophers.

“And this gang was led by the Golden Bell and Silver Thread.

“They killed all the officials and soldiers at that time, dug up that tomb …… and even set up the ‘Thousand Bells and Ten Thousand Ren Formation’ around that tomb.

“For a full three years, it was difficult to break it all. It is rumored that even nowadays, from time to time, there will be small beasts in the mountains that were injured by the silver filaments set up back then …… that flatly broke their legs and feet.”

Cheng Tianyang suddenly realized:

“A thousand bells and ten thousand refuels array …… no wonder it has this kind of power.

“I also once heard of these two, only, weren’t they already ambushed ten years ago?”

Dao Wu Ming gently shook his head and spoke while leading the crowd forward:

“If we’re talking about side matters, Little Sheng really may not know.

“But this matter, however, is something that I have heard about.

“Back then, they were not ambushed, but submitted to the court.

“Only because, Mrs. Golden Bell is pregnant ……”

“Pregnant?”

Tang Yuyi raised an eyebrow, “What does this have to do with submitting to the imperial court?”

“Ai, Brother Li doesn’t know.”

Dao Wu Ming glanced at this fellow traveler and let out a light laugh:

“The Golden Bell Silver Thread has been digging up graves for many years, which is detrimental to Yin Virtue, coupled with the fact that the corpse qi within the ancient tomb is too heavy, so years and years of this kind of activity underground, for the child, where would it be half good?

“Therefore, the child was born with a sickly look.

“At that time, if you want to save this child, the only way is to ask for the most precious treasure, ‘Falling Star Pearl’, so that you can barely be able to renew its life.

“However, the ‘Falling Star Pearl’ has been enshrined in the Chintian Supervision for generations, not to mention that they were two grave robbers, even if they were royal relatives, there was no reason to lend it to them.

“Therefore the only way they could think of was to submit to the imperial court.

“These two men came from an extraordinary background, and the art of geomancy they learned was unrivaled in the world.

“Plus, at that time, the late emperor’s dragon body is sick, is planning the imperial mausoleum …… their learning just can be put to use.

“It should be to take this opportunity to let them successfully return to the country.

“Just what happened after this, onlookers will not know.

“But I didn’t expect that after these ten years, Mr. Silver Thread would actually show up here.”

Hearing this, Tang Yuyi and the others were somewhat silent.

Knowing that even if Golden Bell Silver Thread returned to the imperial court, wanting to get the Falling Star Pearl would only not be so easy.

However, parents love their children, naturally, they will remove all difficulties and try to solve all these problems.

Just the passage of years, Mr. Silver Thread strayed to this place, why, then it is not they here a little brain, will be able to guess out.

“It’s here!”

Jingtan Jushi suddenly spoke up at this time:

“I see that this Thousand Bells Ten Thousand Ren Formation was not obtained in a day, when it was accumulated over many years.

“The core of the formation is here …… This neighborhood, when there is a mystery.”

Man Sheng Ming eyes in the surrounding a sweep, suddenly stepped forward, reached out at one side gently groping.

A moment later, he suddenly five fingers explored, gently grabbed.

Just heard a click, one side of the mountain wall above, immediately opened a dark door.

The crowd glanced at each other:

“Let’s go in.”

Tang Yuyi, on the other hand, glanced back at the Blood Sword Hall disciples trapped by the Thousand Bells Ten Thousand Ren Formation.

There was no sign of Xuanyuan Yidao …… or Chi Scales of the Penning Thunder Hall.

She pondered slightly and said to Li Tianyu:

“Tian Yu, don’t follow in, just stand guard here.

“There is a Thousand Bells and Ten Thousand Ren Formation around, it’s not that easy for them to break through the formation and come here.

“Whichever one you don’t like the look of, just take an arrow and shoot it to death.

“And whoever dares to come within ten feet of this place, no matter who it is, kill without pardon.”

“Yes.”

Li Tianyu instantly agreed, unslinging the longbow behind him and eyeing the surroundings.

After Tang Yuyi had arranged this matter, she put her mind down slightly.

Tonight, apart from this Mr. Silver Thread in the stagecoach, the most crucial point was the Running Thunder Hall and the Blood Sword Hall.

The Blood Sword Hall was clearly malicious, wanting to snatch Jiang Ran’s burnt-tailed zither.

The Running Thunder Hall was secretly practicing tactics.

Neither of these two could be left undefended.

Now, the Thousand Bells Ten Thousand Ren Formation was naturally positioned here, plus a Li Tianyu who had the Cloud Chasing Moon Arrow.

This kind of cooperation falls, I think these two even if they have great ability, it is difficult to break through to the front.

Moreover, to take a step back.

Even if they really came over and killed a Li Tianyu, it wouldn’t be too much of a loss for herself and Jiang Ran.

With this in mind, she stopped thinking and followed the crowd into the dark passage.

This dark tunnel does not have many twists and turns, just all the way down.

Not too far, will hear the low roar miserable sound into the ear.

Everyone heard the sound is a stunned, step up a few steps to see, in front of the eyes suddenly open.

A huge underground hall appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

Hall on both sides placed a torture rack, in the middle of the anvil, stone mill, steamer, frying pan, iron tongs, steel cone and other things ……

Miserable screams emanated from a rack on one side.

There was a man tied up on that shelf.

This person’s upper body is naked, the veins on the brain protrude, there are more than thirty silver needles to tie him all over his head.

The man’s eyes were dull and his mouth was foaming.

Sometimes he roared lowly, sometimes he screamed miserably, as if he were an injured beast.

“Senior brother!!!”

As soon as Ning Jiu Kite saw him, his eyes instantly turned red.

This person who was suffering from torture was not someone else, it was none other than Feng Wu.

It was really hard to imagine that Feng Wu, who was still full of teenage spirit before dinner, had been tortured into such a state within this short period of time.

Ning Jiu Kite stepped forward and reached out to yank the silver needle on his head.

Just as her fingers were about to fall, she stopped again.

This time there was no need for anyone to stop her, she knew that yanking it out like this was never the right thing to do.

This silver needle looked vicious, who knows what kind of technique was used to hit into the skull?

If she didn’t know what was going on and forcefully dragged it down, what if it harmed Fengwu’s life?

Ning Jiu Kite was at a loss for words for a moment and could only shed tears.

This was really an unmitigated disaster for them.

Originally, they had joined Dao Wu Ming and the others, preparing to return to the Evergreen Mansion Qifeng Mountain Villa.

Who would have thought that staying at an abandoned stagecoach station in the middle would lead to such a situation?

“Miss Ning, don’t be alarmed, there’s no sign of that old man here, there’s still a mystery inside.”

Dao Wu Ming said in a deep voice:

“If we find this person, there may be a way to save Mr. Feng.”

Ning Jiuji Kite nodded her head when she heard this:

“What senior said is right, find him …… must find him!”

And as soon as her words reached this point, a click could already be heard.

The wall on one side suddenly rose and a portal appeared.

The crowd looked to the side of the portal, and saw that Man Sheng Ming was standing silently to the side, sparing no words.

“Go!”

……

……

“Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records, the first sorrow of the ages!?”

Jiang Ran brought Ruan Yuqing with him, and by now, he was already standing on top of the platform in the center.

Just standing here, looking at the sword weapon array around him, Jiang Ran still couldn’t help but frown slightly:

“What exactly does that mean?”

“Could it be that these eighteen sets of tragic reliefs are the eighteen martial arts of the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records?”

Ruan Yuqing guessed with some hesitation.

Jiang Ran shook his head categorically:

“That’s impossible.”

He had learned about the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records from Tang Yuyi’s mouth.

Knowing that it was the eighteen supreme demonic skills of the Devil Sect.

So far, Jiang Ran knew that Li Feiyun’s [Blood Tripod Sutra], the Demon Sect Master’s [Great Comfort Heavenly Devil Ten Thousand Thoughts Technique], and even Tang Yuyi’s [Tianji Douxue Great Shift Method] were all from the Eighteen Heavenly Devils Record.

Although the number matched with these eighteen compliant swords, this area of relief could never contain such profound martial arts.

Ruan Yuqing also felt that his guess was a bit outrageous.

It was just that for a moment, she couldn’t think of the key to it.

Sighing:

“A hundred years ago, the world’s number one expert, Chu Nanfeng, broke the Demon Sect in a big way.

“Eighteen Heavenly Devil Records have since been scattered in the rivers and lakes …… This century has also set off a bloodbath.

“But I did not expect, autumn resignation stage this small under a stage, but also hides with the eighteen days of the devil record is associated with the location.

“If this ancient first sad said, is not the eighteen heavenly devil record ……

“Then could it be that these eighteen reliefs could be a martial art in the Eighteen Heavenly Demons Record?”

Jiang Ran’s expression was instantly a bit odd:

“That’s what I thought too …… just ……”

The two men glanced at each other, thinking of the patterns engraved on top of that relief, and for a moment, they both found it a bit hard to accept.

If this speculation of theirs was true, then what kind of price would one have to pay to cultivate this martial art?

”Devouring the heart,” ”Thwarting the bones,” ”Burning and cooking,” ”Cooking with fire,” ”Long needles through the brain,” all sorts of tragic situations. ‘, all sorts of miserable situations.

Any one of these tortures can cause a person to die on the spot.

And what kind of person would be able to actually practice this martial art?

“This is by no means possible.”

Jiang Ran was torn to the end, but still shook his head, “Moreover, this doesn’t conform to common sense at all.”

Ruan Yuqing originally wanted to say a ‘people of the Devil Sect, where can they use common sense to figure it out’.

But pushing herself, she also felt that the possibility was slim to none.

The two guessed back and forth, both felt that this matter was too ridiculous, so they stopped dwelling on it and turned their heads to look at the coffin.

Found that the coffin is above a stalagmite.

On top of the stalagmite, there were blood stains flowing down.

It dripped right on top of the coffin, just like a blooming flower bud.

Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing looked at each other and slowly came to the front of the coffin.

Fixing their eyes on it, they realized that on the lid of the coffin, there was actually a hole.

“This blood isn’t meant to flow on the coffin, but rather through the coffin and inside ……”

Jiang Ran said this to Ruan Yuqing:

“Miss Ruan, first and foremost, close your breath.”

Ruan Yuqing immediately nodded, Jiang Ran lifted a single palm, the lid of the coffin immediately flew up.

Turning in the air, the scene inside was immediately presented in front of Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing’s eyes.

Just looking at this scene, the two people were taken aback at the same time.

Inside the coffin, there were actually two corpses.

One was embedded in the lid of the coffin, its limbs and head were nailed to death with iron nails, and in its mouth was a pearl with a glittering luster.

A drop of crystal liquid, in the pearl above cohesion, will fall between, with Jiang Ran will turn it and flow back into the mouth of the corpse.

In addition, there was another corpse within the coffin.

Although it was just a glimpse, the two people could see that the body was short, a child who looked only seven or eight years old.

I don’t know if it’s just a blur.

When gazing at the coffin lid, the corpse that was nailed to death, Jiang Ran realized that the corpse …… seemed to gasp for breath.
