Return to Wang Daoping.
Wang Daoping swung his stick out again, using the first form of the worldly spear technique, vigorously dancing the dragon to sweep left and right.
He Guyan stabbed Wang Daoping with a spear, and then pushed Wang Daoping dozens of meters away.
Song Yanxi drew out three arrows again, fired them tightly, and shot directly at He Guyan's back. He Guyan turned around to block them, and his marksmanship was impeccable. Knocked the three feather arrows to the ground
Wang Daoping took the opportunity to pounce on him, and his marksmanship improved instantly, as if he had reached the fourth form of worldly marksmanship, the Flame Undead.
He was seen stabbing straight up, the flames on the gun burning straight, the fire breaking away from the tip of the gun and going to He Guyan's back.
Li Yi also rushed up from beside Wang Daoping, and the sword he drew was the killing technique he had taught him in Zhou Shu'an, Yaocheng.
The three of them cooperated tacitly and seemed to have completely restrained every part of He Guyan. However, the three of them still couldn't take any advantage over He Guyan, and even tended to fall into a disadvantage.
He Guyan swept out with a spear, and saw a ray of light shooting towards Li Yi and Wang Daoping, as if he was going to cut them into two pieces on the spot.
The three feather arrows controlled by Song Yanxi's fingers pierced down from high altitude. It was spinning and shaking violently behind He Guyan.
But it could barely penetrate even half a point, and was eventually shattered into powder by He Guyan's roar.
Wang Daoping grabbed Li Yi by the collar and stepped back. The cold light passed by the two of them, almost crushing them into pieces on the spot.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Wang Daoping grabbed Li Yi again and jumped into the air.
However, at this moment, He Guyan stabbed them straight with a spear.
As we all know, getting off the ground is the most dangerous action. If they are really stabbed by a gun, the two of them will definitely die.
However, at this moment, Jiang Yu, who was standing on the top of the mountain, finally grabbed the box she had been carrying behind her back.
He suddenly raised it and smashed it upwards, and the box fell to the ground with a "bang".
She activated her spiritual energy and put her hand on the box. The box opened like a fan. Inside was a white jade guqin carved like a dancing red bird.
She grabbed one end of the guqin, pulled it out, turned around and meditated and placed the guqin flat on her lap. His hand fell down, held down the strings, and plucked them.
A burst of light that looked like sword energy shot straight away.
Seeing this, He Guyan had no choice but to turn around and shoot him.
The next second, the tip of He Guyan's spear emitted a series of harsh roars.
He Guyan shattered the light that looked like sword energy with one shot, danced with a spear, slammed the gun to the ground, and the air waves instantly rushed around.
Wang Daoping swung his gun again and used a set of self-created marksmanship. Then he changed the same method as He Guyan and slammed the gun to the ground. The air wave of the third style of the WTO marksmanship was also instantly thrown out.
Jiang Yu's fingers moved on the strings, as fast as a fairy dancing, like the long-lost dance of demons in Western Chu.
But no, it was the martial arts passed down from the ancestors of the Jiang family, the "Guqin Swordsmanship" created by the Guqin Swordsman back then.
Waves of air separated from the guqin, like light directly surrounding He Guyan.
He Guyan seemed to be controlled by something and couldn't use any force.
Li Yi took this opportunity to grab a wooden stick from nowhere and swung it like a dragon out of the sea and smashed it out.
Immediately it fell on He Guyan's neck, and the stick flipped He Guyan out. His neck made a sound as if it broke on the spot.
At this moment, Song Yanxi pulled out three arrows from behind, aimed at He Guyan's chest, and shot out.
Two feather arrows instantly pierced He Guyan's neck, and one landed on He Guyan's left shoulder.
He Guyan looked at the gun in his hand and fell down.
By this point, all enemy troops had been killed.
Li Yi and Wang Daoping stood in the center of the battlefield, looking at the entire valley bottom. The valley bottom was narrow. At first glance, they could see corpses everywhere they looked.
Over there, Zhao Yuanyuan, Wang Linghua and others had slowly stood up, helped each other and sat on the ground, looked at each other and laughed.
Jiang Yu and others had already come down from the mountain and were busy bandaging the soldiers' wounds.
Li Yi smiled, looked at Wang Daoping and said. "It looks like you're seriously injured."
Wang Daoping spit out a mouthful of blood and rolled his eyes. "I almost died. This guy is probably only one step away from the Spear Immortal. I'm really thankful to God that he survived."
Li Yi asked. "Can I still leave?"
"The skin is rough and the flesh is thick, so he can still walk naturally."
"How about we take a short break and then leave?"
Wang Daoping did not reply.
Li Yi didn't push him, helped Wang Daoping and found a place for him to sit, and nodded to Jiang Ren, Song Yanxi and others who came over.
He said when the two girls stood in front of them. "It's time to leave, but it's hard to say this, and I don't know if Wang Daoping likes to hear it."
Song Yanxi said. "I don't know what you want to express."
Li Yi smiled. "You have to ask Wang Daoping about this."
Jiang Ren also came over and said with a smile. "Anyway, be careful. The northwest is always not peaceful. If you are not careful, you may not be able to return alive."
Song Yanxi did not look at Li Yi, but looked at Wang Daoping and said. "Does the bet still count?"
"Don't worry, Wang always keeps his promises."
"That's good. I'll pick you up when the time comes."
With that said, he turned around and left without saying where or when he would pick him up.
After a group of people exchanged pleasantries, Li Yi and Wang Daoping jumped on the horse, sat on the horse and cupped their fists.
"I believe we'll see you again, everyone, I'll take my leave now."
As Li Yi said that, he turned his horse and ran towards the official road in the southwest. Wang Daoping followed closely, and the two of them headed for the Taiping ruins.
The two of them walked towards the setting sun, with the wind and sand howling in the north.
Wang Daoping followed Li Yi and said. "Why haven't you ever thought about joining the army?"
Li Yi didn't look back and just said. "I thought about it. To be precise, it was Mr. Su's suggestion that I suddenly go north. He asked me to join the army."
"It's sir again, he looks very powerful."
"No! Mr. Su doesn't know martial arts, and he doesn't have much strategy. He can't compare with Jiang Ren. However, he also cares about the world. Fortunately, he didn't die when Yangcheng was destroyed a year ago."
"Then you will go north to join the army after taking the Taiping Sword?"
"If there are no accidents, this will be the case."
Li Yi said, turned to look at Wang Daoping and said. "Actually, you agreed to Song Yanxi's joining the army, right?"
"No...no way. I want to try being a soldier myself. What does it have to do with the little witch?"
"I heard everything that day. Although my cultivation level is low, my ears are not bad. I heard everything I should hear."
"Li Yi, you won't test me on purpose, right?"
"You can ask me to see what I heard. Maybe I will be happy and add more oil and vinegar."
"Okay, okay, that's what happened."
"Wang Daoping, you seem to like Song Yanxi very much!"
"No, she has a bad temper. She's not my type. If anyone really likes her, I'm afraid they forgot to cut the grass on their ancestors' graves."
"Oh! What are you talking about her for? Do you really want to join the army?"
Li Yi smiled and said. "Let's see! Maybe it's the same as you!"
As he spoke, a whip fell on the horse's back.
Wang Daoping smiled heartily, then whipped his whip, followed closely by Li Yi, and the two of them rushed forward, flying on the bare soil slope, raising a puff of smoke.
One day later, the two of them stood outside the Taiping ruins, both feeling a little disappointed.
The two of them had never been to Taiping Ruins. They thought it would be surrounded by walls like Desert City, with secrets hidden inside.
However, apart from the destroyed buildings in the distance, there was only the square ahead.
The square was not small and not much damaged. At least it was not much different from the ones they saw in Desert City. It's just that as time goes by, it becomes a little more desolate.
However, it is extremely lively right now because many people have come.
Li Yi and Wang Daoping knew that these people were just like them, coming for the treasures in the ruins of the previous dynasty.
Wang Daoping pursed his lips and said. "Is there really a treasure in this place?"
"Who knows! But now that we are here, we have to take a look at the Taiping Sword no matter what!"
"I just wondered if it was a scam."
"How to say."
"Look around, except for those dilapidated houses, there is almost no one left. If there were Taiping swords and martial arts secrets in the houses, they would have been wiped out long ago."
"What you said is not unreasonable. I hope the Taiping Sword has not been taken away!"
Li Yi looked around. Those people were rummaging through the ruins around them, digging three feet into the ground.
When he turned to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
"is her!"
Wang Daoping was stunned, looking for his eyes, and saw the man's appearance clearly.
Yes, that person was the senior who accompanied the big blue bird when they were about to enter Desert City.
Of course, until this moment, he didn't know the senior's name. He only knew that she was from Nanmu Country, and her cultivation was comparable to that of a Sword Immortal.
She didn't bring any big bird with her, nor was she wearing the green dress they saw in the south of Desert City, but was dressed in white.
But even so, when she stood in the square, Li Yi and Wang Daoping could still see her at a glance. Maybe she was still bare-handed like before, or maybe she left a very deep impression on them.
Li Yi and Wang Daoping walked towards her.
Although Su Ting was standing not far from Li Yi and Wang Daoping, she had already seen them, but now she had no time to chat with them.
She walked towards the center of the square, squatted down, stretched out her hand and touched the totem in the center of the square.
The next second, she suddenly exerted force, and a stream of spiritual energy fell from the sky, forming a beam of light several meters away and injected into the totem.
Everyone also turned their heads to look over, and her surroundings were instantly filled with runes visible to the naked eye.
Wang Daoping didn't know, but Li Yi, who had learned a little about enchantment, could tell at a glance that it was a sealing rune.
But he knew very well that even if he knew these runes, he still didn't know where the seal's formation was.
The runes shattered one after another in Su Ting's silent recitation, dissipating like an illusion.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. With Su Ting's cultivation level, she would definitely be able to shine in the Western Chu Lunwu court. At least with her current strength, they simply couldn't do it.
Just as everyone was talking about it, a roar suddenly sounded.
Everyone turned to look, and the last rune spread out in the air and turned into ashes.
Su Ting jumped up high, and the entire square stretched to both sides, revealing what it seemed like it should have been for a long time.
Yes, there is a huge dark pit under the square.
Everyone fell into the sudden huge pit one after another until no one was seen.
Wang Daoping and Li Yi also fell into the invisible abyss together with everyone.
Su Ting, who was like an immortal descending from high in the sky, instantly changed her posture and dived down.
The door behind her slammed shut instantly after she entered.
The whole process lasted no more than a moment, but it was like being devoured by a giant beast.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have dared to imagine that the real ruins of peace were not the destroyed city walls and houses, but the underground abyss.
In the basement, Wang Daoping and Li Yi fell into the dark and dry cellar.
Li Yi touched the darkness for a long time before reaching Wang Daoping, who was lying on the ground and howling.
Li Yi helped Wang Daoping up and said. "This musty smell is really unpleasant."
Wang Daoping patted Li Yi's hand and twisted his waist. "You guys don't know how to be careful. I just fell on a stone and almost broke my back."
Wang Daoping rolled his eyes and said. "How can a place like this not get moldy? It's been more than three hundred years, and I'm afraid that after we go out, we'll have bleeding symptoms from all the orifices, which would be fatal."
"You really know how to say that whether you can get out or not is still unknown!" Li Yi said and sighed. "Look for fire first! It's too dark here, you can't see anything."
Wang Daoping chuckled. "Don't worry, I have a solution."
As he spoke, he knocked on the stone wall next to him and lit the fire.
Li Yi looked over, but Wang Daoping was grinning in the firelight, as if he had really obtained the gold and silver treasure that he had longed for.
He said. "Didn't I give you one of the fire mines used for lighting? Why! Forgot?"
Li Yi then remembered that when Wang Daoping gave him fire thunders before, several of them were indeed used for lighting. But when he left Song Yanxi and others, he gave Jiang Yu the sword as a return gift from Jiang Xiaoya.
Wang Daoping didn't care about the expression on his face, but looked at the place where the two of them fell.
Not a dungeon, not an underground room, but an underground passage several meters wide.
Wang Daoping looked at it, his face instantly became gloomy.
Li Yi looked at him and asked. "What's wrong?"
Wang Daoping pointed to the ground, where he had just fallen.
There were no rocks at all, just a human skeleton wearing tattered clothes. He clearly didn't hit the stone just now, but fell on the human bones.
There was also a body next to where Li Yi fell, but when he stood up and was eager to find Wang Daoping, he didn't touch it, so it was more complete.
"Don't look at it. They are undoubtedly human bones. What's so interesting about bones from more than three hundred years ago?"
The two people walked forward and observed along the passage.
Wang Daoping raised the fire thunder and looked around, but he didn't find anything, except for the occasional bat flying overhead.
They suddenly came upon a larger space, as big as the houses several houses above them.
Carefully designed, the surrounding totems are all marble carved murals, which are very exquisite and shaped like a royal garden or cemetery.
The two people observed along the peripheral wall. What was carved on the wall was not flowers and plants, but character carvings murals one after another, as if they were narrating a story, and they were indescribably lifelike.
Wang Daoping just felt that the murals on the wall were particularly weird, and he was a little unspeakably frightened.
Li Yi was different. He completely forgot that Wang Daoping was with him. He seemed to be immersed in the history of the rise and fall of the previous dynasty, and all the pictures were slowly flowing in his mind like a play.
Wang Daoping felt strange, thinking that he was fine, why did Li Yi suddenly lose consciousness and become like a walking zombie?
He patted Li Yi's shoulder with his hand, but Li Yi stared at the fantasy-like statues in front of him without blinking, unable to feel his touch at all.
Wang Daoping looked down, and saw golden jewelry embellishments, and golden totems like flying dragons and phoenixes. The people who built this underground space also seem to know how to look good.
Wang Daoping murmured to himself. "Could it be the escape passage from the previous dynasty?"
As he spoke, he raised the knife in his hand and dug the golden spear along the jewels one by one.
It wasn't until the last one was in his arms that he finally stretched and stood up.
He suddenly turned his head and looked behind him. The door they entered through had been slowly closed.
However, Li Yi was still staring at the wall, as if he was bewitched by something.
