The sun was rising high, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, plants, and leaves.
This huge stone formation on the hillside aroused the curiosity and vigilance of the two people. The mysterious writings and patterns on these stones seem to indicate something!
Liu Ruyan thought of the stone chamber and Guanyin statue she had just seen on the cliff. From the burning incense in the incense burner, she guessed that it must be the incense candle that someone had lit earlier this morning, but they had walked in the canyon for so long. , but didn’t meet anyone. Is there really no human habitation in this huge valley? If there is no one in the mountain, who will come to burn incense in front of the Guanyin statue?
Everything here seems peaceful, but in fact there are weird mysteries everywhere.
Zhao Qingzhu observed the surrounding scene carefully. The slope was long and narrow, sloping to a higher place on the mountain. These huge boulders are scattered all over the hillside, and they look like about a hundred squats.
The two of them walked through Stonehenge, being on guard for fear of being ambushed by traps or hidden weapons. Apart from the strange carvings and patterns on these stones, there are no guiding signs.
The two of them had no choice but to grope their way forward in this chaotic stone forest. Liu Ruyan and Zhao Qingzhu walked side by side, with a distance of less than one meter. As they walked forward, they carefully paid attention to the surrounding movements.
The gentle sunlight shines on Stonehenge, and the shadows of huge stones are reflected on the ground.
Suddenly, a faint sound of conversation came from the stone array in front. The voice was weak and it was difficult to hear what was said. The two of them were startled and immediately looked at each other and hid behind the boulder tacitly.
The conversation seemed to be getting closer and closer, becoming gradually clearer. The two of them held their breath and winked at each other. They each clenched their weapons and prepared themselves to deal with possible situations.
I only heard a woman's high-pitched voice say: "Today is a really nice day. To be honest, I haven't been able to relax like this for a long time. I often have nightmares recently, which scares me so much that I can't sleep all night long. Oh, too I wonder how long this kind of life will last?" She sighed quietly, her words showing helplessness.
A man's voice said: "Sister Jiang, are you under too much pressure? What is the origin of the person the sect leader asked you to kill last time?"
Liu Ruyan and Zhao Qingzhu crouched behind the boulder, not daring to make any noise, and raised their ears to listen carefully. He looked at each other from time to time and could only communicate with his eyes.
The woman said: "Hey, in our line of work, licking blood from the tip of a knife, how can it be easy? A few days ago, the sect leader sent Yin Qi to give me a secret letter, and asked me to open it in two days. I I had no idea, I guessed it would be a difficult character, but when I opened it, who did you think it was? It turned out to be Tie Yan, the lone wolf in Guanzhong."
The man said "Oh" and said in surprise: "How could it be him?"
The woman asked, "Why, do you know that person?" She looked surprised.
The man said: "Last time the sect leader sent the boss to perform the task of killing this person, it seems that the boss did not succeed last time. I asked the boss in private, and he only revealed the name of this person. As for this person's He refused to say a word about his life and background, he seems to be a really difficult guy!"
The woman continued: "The order I received was to leave for Guanzhong on the 13th. The time and place were written in detail in the secret letter. I arrived in Guanzhong on the afternoon of the 15th and stayed in an inn for one night. I sneaked into his residence early in the morning and spent a long time secretly exploring his whereabouts. Finally, I succeeded in the evening of that day. I also brought his head back and gave it to the owner. It is said that the buyer paid a lot of money for his head. ." She said this in an understatement, as if killing a person was no different from killing a chicken.
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan and Zhao Qingzhu seemed to understand some of the accusations. They dared to say that this man and woman turned out to be professional killers who killed many people.
Liu Ruyan frowned, and her mind was spinning rapidly: Could it be that the door owner mentioned by these two people was the owner of the Hell Gate? Could it be that these two people are the people in the gate of hell?
Realizing this situation, he couldn't help but feel nervous suddenly, and all the nerves in his body were tense. Looking at Zhao Qingzhu from time to time, the two people's eyes met, and they were fully alert to each other, and their eyes looked extremely alert.
The conversation between the two people became clearer and clearer, and they heard footsteps approaching. Liu Ruyan and Zhao Qingzhu exchanged glances and nodded. They already understood each other's intentions.
Liu Ruyan suddenly had an idea: there was no place to be found after wearing iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it! If these two people are really from the gate of hell, why not start with them!
Zhao Qingzhu glanced at Liu Ruyan and smiled slightly. Both of them remained calm. With just one look, they could understand what the other person was thinking.
Zhao Qingzhu cautiously poked his head towards the gap between the stones, and through the cracked stone gap on one side, he caught a glimpse of a man in blue standing on the other side of the boulder, with only a trace of his trousers and feet exposed. He wore a pair of short black leather boots.
Zhao Qingzhu thought: these two people appear here, they must live nearby. Listening to their conversation, there is no doubt that they are two killers. Could it be that the sect leader mentioned just now refers to the head of the Hell Sect? Could it be that they are really members of the Hell Sect? If you greet him face to face, they will definitely become suspicious! Now that we have met these two people, we will use the trick to find out about them.
Zhao Qingzhu's thoughts coincided with Liu Ruyan's, and he was thinking about how to get close to them.
The man and woman stopped behind the boulder. The man said: "You have succeeded in what the boss failed to do. It seems that your martial arts have improved a lot in the past few years. It is very important for us to do it." I'm so attracted to you!" After saying that, he laughed out loud.
The woman said: "Oh, why are you making fun of me! They still don't know about us, have they noticed? I have been having nightmares these days, dreaming about people covered in blood coming to claim my life. Sometimes Thinking about it, this is really not a human life, I really plan to quit!" She sighed quietly.
The man comforted her and said: "You can't help yourself in the world! Now that you have joined this industry, you can't quit just by quitting. You will never be able to leave without the approval of the sect leader. After so many years in the Hell Gate, It’s not like you don’t know the methods of the sect leader. No one who betrays him will have a good ending."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ruyan and Zhao Qingzhu, who were hiding behind the boulder, suddenly froze. Their faces suddenly changed color. The man finally said the words "Hell Gate". As they expected, this A man and a woman are really from the Gate of Hell.
Liu Ruyan's mind was racing, thinking about how to find the location of the Hell Gate through these two people.
Zhao Qingzhu suddenly looked at Liu Ruyan and made a gesture of putting his palms together. Liu Ruyan frowned and looked confused, but she understood what he was thinking in an instant.
The two of them hid behind the boulder tacitly, not daring to make any movement. Fortunately, the man and woman stopped on the other side of the boulder. If they found out that there were two people hiding here, there would be a fight. Without knowing the exact location of the Hell Gate, it would undoubtedly be a warning. At this juncture, they must stay calm!
The only strategy now is to wait, only wait!
At this moment, the man and woman suddenly lost their voices, and Zhao Qingzhu quietly poked his head out and looked at the gap beside the boulder. Suddenly I saw a man and a woman cuddling together. Only half of the two figures could be seen through the cracks in the stone.
Zhao Qingzhu was suspicious: Are these two a couple? Did they come here for a date?
The sun was shining brightly, and it was warm on the body. The birds in the forest were chirping non-stop, and occasionally a gust of mountain breeze blew by.
After a while, the woman's voice said: "Brother Qiang, it's getting late, let's go back quickly! If we stay too long, we might make them suspicious."
The man's voice said: "Zhimei, we finally slipped out, please stay a little longer! They drank a lot last night, maybe they haven't woken up yet! Zhimei, are you really planning to get married?" Wash your hands in the basin?"
The woman sighed and said helplessly: "If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have come to this ghost place! This hell gate is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. This ghost old man trained us to be killers. He will only use us to sacrifice our lives for him. Over the years, our hands have been stained with too much blood. Although we kill people without calculation, we may die at the hands of others. "
The man said: "Yes, if we go to kill others, why can't others kill us? We can survive until now, maybe it's just good luck and we didn't meet a more powerful opponent! Hey, if one day, we die outside , this is God’s will, and this is our destiny!”
The woman's tone suddenly became urgent: "Brother Qiang, do you still want to stay in this ghost place? Aren't you tired of such a dark life? Otherwise, let's find a chance to leave here and find a place where no one knows us. Where we go, we go as far as possible, the further away the better!”
The man sighed deeply and said: "Even if we can leave, where can we go? You don't know the methods of the sect leader. He will never let go of those who betray him! We have all seen his martial arts. However, as well as dozens of dead warriors with high martial arts skills under him. It will be difficult for us to escape from his clutches!"
The woman snorted and said angrily: "Brother Qiang, are you afraid of that ghost old man? Do you just want to stay here all your life? Be a cold-blooded and numb killer all your life? Have you ever thought about starting over? Another life? Every time I take action recently, I always feel a little powerless. And I often have nightmares, killing too many people, maybe there will always be retribution."
The man said quietly: "Zhimei, of course I understand how you feel, but this is not a simple matter. Even if we want to leave, we must find a suitable opportunity. It is best to raise it to the door owner in person. We must find someone who can Reason for him to agree, otherwise, with his temper, he will never let us go easily. Just because I know too many secrets of Hell Gate! In short, this matter can only be done slowly! "
The woman sighed: "Okay, let's talk after a while. Let's go back quickly! Come out again when we have a chance. If they find out later, we will be in big trouble!"
After that, the two turned and walked towards the other side. Hearing the footsteps getting further and further away, Liu Ruyan and Zhao Qingzhu's tense hearts slowly relaxed. The two of them stuck their heads out to look in the direction of the footsteps, only to see the two people's backs heading towards them. Go deep into the jungle to the west.
