C164 The Landscape of the Heavenly River

Zuo Xiping was walking on the road when he suddenly heard something. "It seems this place is not bad. There is still water on the stone wall. " Through the flowing water, he actually saw a few more paintings on the stone wall.

He looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to him. He looked at them intentionally or unintentionally. These murals were not some martial arts moves, but the first few that were drawn.

These murals were not only lifelike, but also had their signature. The first mural was impressively the scene of Dugu Kuang and Murong Bai leading the group to massacre the Devil Cult. For a moment, the Devil Cult had become a sea of fire and a sea of fire. Countless shouts seemed to be lingering in Zuo Xiping's ears, and countless vengeful souls seemed to be wandering around him.

His whole body shivered, and he hurriedly walked down to take a look at the second painting. In the second painting, there was a little baby. Dugu Kuang was carrying a little baby in his arms. This little baby was taken from the devil religion. Obviously, it was a descendant of the devil religion.

The third painting was a scene of blood washing the Liu family. Murong Bai personally cut off Lau Yutang's head. This scene made everyone panic. There was also a baby behind Lau Yutang. This child looked at this scene in a daze, but he didn't make a sound at all.

Lau Yutang was running towards the door. He had even stepped out of the door. His actions were very obvious. He was doing this to protect the silent child in the room. Only by drawing the attention of Dugu Kuang and Murong Bai could the child survive.

Zuo Xiping's breathing became more and more rapid. He couldn't believe that the scene back then would be so tragic. Not a single one of the Liu family was left alive. Of course, the only exception was the child.

Then where did the child go? Zuo Xiping continued reading. On the next picture, there was a child practicing saber techniques in the yard with his upper body naked. This saber technique seemed to be somewhat similar to the saber techniques in the previous picture. Fortunately, Zuo Xiping was not a person who loved sabers, so he had some immunity to these saber techniques.

The child was very serious. There was a rope tied to both ends of his hands, and there was a big stone tied to the bottom of the rope. He was in this courtyard, using this method to increase his knife practice speed and his own strength.

Although this method was clumsy, it was very effective. Next, in the painting, this child had already become a youth. The person he was fighting was Hua Wuxue. At that time, Hua Wuxue was still considered young and was a beauty.

The next picture was still that youth, but he was a bit older. He had experienced the danger of death. His family had been completely burned down by a huge fire in his home, and from then on, he roamed the world.

When he saw this, Zuo Xiping's eyes became moist. He never thought that this young man would actually experience so much hardship. The next person this young man challenged was Qiu Min, who was famous throughout the Gusu!

Zuo Xiping's heart suddenly moved. It seemed like Qiu Min's name hadn't been mentioned for a long time, but his name had been carved here. Everyone knew that Qiu Min was killed by a young man in his teens. Could it be the young man in the picture?

The teenager's knife hit Qiu Min's vitals, causing him to fall. That's right, it was the teenager. Then who was this young man?

When the mural reached this point, it stopped abruptly. Zuo Xiping was still muttering in his heart when a force suddenly appeared on his shoulder. Murong Ke asked softly, "What is Mr. Zuo looking at so seriously?"

Zuo Xiping quickly came back to his senses and attracted Murong Ke's gaze into the darkness. "Hey, take a look. Oh right, did Alliance Chief come up with a plan to defeat the enemy? "

Murong Ke's face turned ashen. He shouldn't have asked this question because Murong Ke didn't have any plans right now. Up until now, he hadn't seen any opponents, not even Elder Xiao.

Wanting to destroy the Devil Cult now was simply a pipe dream. Murong Ke said in a flat tone, "Mister Zuo, you still have to put in a lot of effort to find a way!" Zuo Xiping found that his question was indeed a little inappropriate. He nodded and hurriedly clasped his hands. "No matter what the road ahead is like, it's fine as long as Alliance Chief doesn't worry about it. There will always be a way. "

Murong Ke also nodded. He turned around and looked at the crowd. Everyone seemed to have mostly recovered, so he gritted his teeth. "Fine. I think we should go on our way first. We will think of something along the way. "

The Alliance Master spoke. Everyone seemed to have a backbone, and even the way they walked became more energetic. In such a harsh environment, they needed such a person to command them to do what they needed to do. Otherwise, even if they were a group of heroes, they would still turn into a bunch of bugs because of the lack of a leader.

There were countless such examples in history. After killing a general in front of the formation, the enemy would definitely be utterly defeated. Even if their numbers were several times their own, they would not be able to defeat the enemy. Because you no longer have a backbone, while others have a commander.

Moreover, there must only be one commander, if there is an additional person to lead the charge. Then this kind of team will not have a good end, they will definitely be split apart. Murong Ke firmly remembered this point. Therefore, besides Zuo Xiping, there would not be a third person under his command who could give orders.

As for Zuo Xiping, Murong Ke had already informed him beforehand that he was only a military advisor. He must not interfere in the affairs of others. Zuo Xiping was also very generous in this matter. First of all, Murong Ke was his junior. Secondly, he really didn't have the intention to become the leader of the Gusu Alliance.

With this, Murong Ke's position became even more secure. The road ahead was still very spacious, but after a while, there weren't many lights on the road. The oil lamps on both sides of the road had gradually decreased until they disappeared.

Up until now, other than the leopard-faced man, they had never met a worthy opponent. So, where exactly was the opponent? Could it be that the devil religion had vanished because of the great battle between Xiao Nanfeng and Elder Xiao?

Murong Ke didn't wish for such an outcome to occur. He didn't even announce the fact that Xiao Nanfeng had betrayed the devil religion. If Xiao Nanfeng did anything that was beneficial to the martial arts world. . . Murong Ke had a bad feeling in his heart. After all, besides the deep hatred between Xiao Nanfeng and Murong Ke, there was also an even more subtle relationship between them.

It was a love rival. The most hated person in the world was no other than a love rival, because a love rival could very possibly take away everything that you loved. This kind of superficial pain truly existed. Although the blood feud was deep, it made people clench their teeth even more.

Perhaps it was because of these two reasons that Murong Ke's attitude towards Xiao Nanfeng had changed greatly. In the past, they had worked together for one thing and helped each other when dealing with Dugu Xiu. But now it was different. He had supreme power, and Xiao Nanfeng had become the object of everyone's disdain.

Such a change in relationship would inevitably change one's attitude towards another. Murong Ke was deep in thought. Before he knew it, everyone had already stopped in their tracks. This place had been very far from where they had come from, but there was no road in front of them now.

Behind them was darkness, but in front of them was a lake. What was going on? Murong Ke walked to the front and took a look. Many of his brothers had fallen and were swimming towards him. Due to the large number of people, it was normal for the people behind to push the ones in front into the water.

However, the unusual thing was that these people who had fallen into the water had been swimming for a long time, but they were unable to swim up no matter what. A careful person would realize that no matter how they moved, they seemed to have no intention of moving forward.

Murong Ke also noticed this point. Looking at the color of the water, under the light of fire, the color of the water had a faint fluorescence. Murong Ke was shocked. Was it water or some other liquid in front of him?

Zuo Xiping also rushed over. He only took a glance and already lost his confidence. He let out a long sigh and said: "This is mercury. When Qin Shihuang was buried, mercury was used to make the heavenly river and flowed in the tomb for a thousand years. They won't be able to come out. "

When he heard the word mercury, Murong Ke's heart suddenly shook. Mercury was a rare metal to begin with, so how could it gather so much mercury here? While he was thinking, the people in the water had slowly sunk into the water and no longer made any sound. When they floated up again, they had already become corpses.

Murong Ke sighed and looked at Zuo Xiping. Zuo Xiping shook his head. "Mercury is a rare thing, and there are very few people who have studied it. Therefore, there are almost no records of such problems in history. I don't know what to do at the moment! "

Everyone sighed and didn't know what to do. Some of them were cursing at the devil religion. They felt that all of this was a trap set by Elder Xiao to lure them into the trap. However, they had forgotten that Elder Xiao had never appeared before. This was also something they had willingly barged in, and there was no difference between them and others.

Murong Ke furrowed his brows. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to pass this trial no matter what. First, he ordered the group to take seven or eight steps back. After that, he took out a torch and illuminated the surroundings of the cave. He had a feeling that there must be a way to solve this problem. It was just that he had not found a way yet.

The surrounding stone walls were indestructible. It was impossible to break through the stone walls. Looking at the bottom of the stone walls, there were no ditches that could lead the mercury away. It seemed like there was really no way to solve the problem of the mercury here.

Since Elder Xiao had placed the Silver Water Pond here, it would not be so easy for him to solve this problem. Murong Ke fell into deep thought and looked into the distance. Apart from the stone wall, there was only darkness in the distance. He had a feeling that there was a place in the distance that was the key to solving this problem. It was just hiding in the darkness.

He stretched the torch forward and his feet had already reached the side of the silver pond. Everyone wiped the sweat off his forehead for him, afraid that he would fall down. Some people even came over to grab his clothes.

Murong Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's not tight. I just want to see what is in front of me. " At this time, a big man carrying a bow on his back laughed. "What's so difficult about it? I can borrow the chief's bow and arrows. "

Murong Ke looked at him from head to toe and was overjoyed in his heart. Wasn't this Deng Yang, who was known as the Queen of Competition Yi? Although Deng Yang's saber technique was not ranked in the martial arts world, his archery skills were top-notch in the martial arts world. He could even shoot a wild rabbit running a hundred meters away with his eyes closed.

Deng Yang took off his bow, but Murong Ke did not take it. He smiled and patted Deng Yang's shoulder. "If I shoot arrows in front of Mr. Deng, it would be a joke. Mr. Deng, you should do it. " After saying that, he handed the torch in his hand to Deng Yang.

Deng Yang smiled and was not shy. When it came to archery, he did not need any reason to be humble. He was the one with the strongest archery skills in the martial arts world. No one could compare to him. This was the truth.

He tied the torch to the arrow, pulled the bow back, and shot the arrow. The power of this arrow was too great. In the blink of an eye, the torch was nailed to the stone wall. The patterns on the stone wall suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

While Murong Ke was amazed, he suddenly realized that underneath the stone wall, there was a well surrounded by mercury! This well was actually much higher than the surface of mercury. The well's mouth was upwards, but there were obvious signs of loosening around the well near them.

In other words, this mercury could very well be guided away by the well. Murong Ke was overjoyed, but now he had to face another problem. The well was too far away from the shore, and there was no place to stand around it. No matter how good a person's Light-body Technique was, it was impossible for him to fly over like a bird without stopping.

Murong Ke roughly estimated that with his Light-body Technique, he would need to stop at least three times in the silver pond to reach the well. However, Murong Ke had no idea where he should stop at these three times.

After he told everyone this idea, everyone nodded. This might be the only way to solve this problem, but the problem now was a little tricky. Where should he choose to stay at these three times?

If Murong Ke needed to stay for three times, then these people would need to stay for more times. There were not many people here who could be better than him in terms of Light-body Technique.

For a moment, the situation fell into a deadlock again. At this time, Murong Ke's gaze stopped on the corpses floating on the surface of the silver pond. His eyes swept across, but a thought slowly rooted itself in his mind.

If someone was lying in a specific position in the silver pond. . . Was it the best place to step? This was obviously the best choice, because not everything in the mercury pool could float out of the water, and not everything that surfaced could be used as a stepping stone, only human corpses.

Zuo Xiping seemed to have seen through Murong Ke's thoughts. He also thought that this was the only way, but who could make these three stepping stones? Zuo Xiping fell into deep thought, because there was a problem, and that was the distance. The first person must be the furthest distance away from the shore after Murong Ke stepped on it.
