Chapter 1090 Skeleton
Seven forks in the road, how to choose?
This is really not a problem for Su Yi.
He stroked the wood carving on his waist, and the breeze and the moon came out immediately.
Xiao Zhao saw Su Yi suddenly stop and thought that Su Yi was afraid of the trap, and said in silence: "Brother, how about I go and explore the way?"
Su Yi looked back at her in surprise and asked: "Why do you have such an idea?"
Xiao Zhao was stunned and said: "Brother, take me away, I can't just do nothing and let you protect me."
Su Yi smiled and said: "I am a man, and I am more capable than you. Isn't it my duty to protect you, a little girl?"
Xiao Zhao was silent for a while, and said: "Brother, what if you encounter a trap and get hurt?"
Su Yi choked up when she heard her say this, and took a closer look and found The little girl's eyes were red, and she asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
"I just, just..." Xiao Zhao was a little shy, and turned her back before continuing, "I just feel that I don't know my brother, why are you so good to me? You are a rich woman, how can you take risks for a lowly slave like me?"
Su Yi said: "I don't treat you as a slave, I treat you as a sister. Isn't it right for a brother to protect his sister?"
Xiao Zhao suddenly turned around and looked at Su Yi in surprise: "Really, brother?"
Under the flickering lights, Xiao Zhao's pretty face was like a flower, and the luster of joy and expectation between her eyebrows and eyes was particularly thrilling at this moment.
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, barely suppressed his heartbeat, and said: "Really-right?"
Xiao Zhao suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, and became happy again.
Because she found that her brother's eyes were not so clear again.
At this moment, Su Yi's face suddenly changed.
Qingfeng Mingyue came back, and in addition to bringing back the topographic map of the entire tunnel, she also brought back a message.
There is someone in this tunnel!
A middle-aged monk wearing a gray monk's robe and a sinister expression!
A monk inexplicably appeared in the secret passage of the Bright Summit of the Ming Cult. Without thinking, you know who this person is - the world's number one villain - Cheng Kun, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand!
This person is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very good at making trouble.
He planned the six major sects to besiege Bright Summit, used Chen Youliang to control the Beggars' Sect, used Song Qingshu to assassinate Zhang Wuji and the Wudang Sect, and held the Lion Slaughtering Conference to eliminate opponents and dominate the martial arts world.
Many major events in the Yitian world have the shadow of Cheng Kun behind them. If there was no Cheng Kun, the world would be much calmer.
Should I take the opportunity to kill him?
Su Yi's heart was filled with murderous intent.
It is absolutely certain that Su Yi and Cheng Kun must be enemies rather than friends.
Even if Su Yi stands on the opposite side of the Ming Cult, he and Cheng Kun are not the same kind of people, and they will sooner or later go to the opposite side.
This man has martial arts, strategy, and ability, and can definitely create a lot of trouble for Su Yi.
If Su Yi kills him now, Su Yi will be at least half relieved in this world.
But everything should be viewed from two sides.
If there is no Cheng Kun, the mastermind behind the scenes, who constantly creates troubles and stirs up waves in the martial arts world, the six major sects will probably fall into a stagnant state after besieging Guangmingding.
The six major sects keep saying that they will resist the Yuan Dynasty, but in fact, including Wudang, they are just shouting slogans.
Even the nun Miejue, who Su Yi flatters, is obsessed with her ancestral precepts to drive out the Tartars, but what she calls obsession is to find the Dragon Slaying Sword one day, break the blade, take out the "Wu Mu Testament", and hand it over to a reliable anti-Yuan general.
Although she does want to do something for the anti-Yuan, it is not much, and not now.
Now the Emei Sect is still under the rule of the Yuan court. If you really dare to raise the banner of rebellion and kill the Tartars openly, the Mongolian army will raze the Jinguangding of Mount Emei to the ground in a minute.
The same is true for Shaolin and Wudang.
Haven't you seen that immortals like Zhang Sanfeng are practicing immortality behind closed doors and ignore worldly affairs?
Under the threat of the Mongolian cavalry, the Shaolin Temple, which is supposed to save all living beings, can only save itself first.
The more chaotic the world is, the more honest these famous and upright sects who claim to uphold justice, suppress the strong and help the weak are. This is an indisputable fact.
The good thing is that at least they are willing to shout the slogan of resisting the Yuan Dynasty.
Except for Shaolin, Shaolin only shouts Buddhist mantras.
Therefore, what would happen if Cheng Kun was gone?
If the "Beggar Gang Incident" and the "Lion Slaughtering Conference" no longer happen, what impact will it have on himself?
Su Yi thought carefully, and finally suppressed his murderous intent and decided to let Cheng Kun go.
There must be a catfish in a pool of sardines to make the sardines less lifeless.
Su Yi has now found the catfish, Nun Miejue, but it is not enough. He needs a stronger catfish who will do things more unscrupulously to disrupt the martial arts world.
This catfish can only be Cheng Kun.
If the martial arts world is not chaotic, how can the heroes become famous? How can the situation be reshuffled? How can the righteous army that Su Yi is about to support in the north really get the support of all walks of life in the martial arts world?
Nun Miejue can help Su Yi do cruel things, but the dirty things have to be done by Cheng Kun.
In fact, with Cheng Kun's strategy and wisdom, if Su Yi cooperates with him honestly and joins forces, the achievements in the short term will be greater.
But in the long run, the gains will not outweigh the losses.
First of all, Cheng Kun is not a fuel-saving lamp, and this person has an antisocial personality and a somewhat unstable mental state. No one can guarantee that he will do something unexpected.
Secondly, it is best for Su Yi to pray that no one will ever find out about the cooperation between Su Yi and Cheng Kun, otherwise the heroic plot he created will collapse.
In fact, there is another reason, that is, Cheng Kun is indeed a bad person to the core. This kind of villain who even wants to make his apprentice's wife strong and his apprentice's son fall to death has completely lost his humanity. Moreover, this guy took refuge with the Tatars and was a complete traitor.
How could such a person deserve to cooperate with Su Yi?
He didn't die just because Su Yi wanted to use him, and he was only worthy of Su Yi's use.
Cheng Kun is currently arranging gunpowder in the tunnel.
The six major sects were about to besiege Guangmingding. He decided to turn the entire Guangmingding into a powder keg. When all the people from the Mingjiao and the six major sects arrived, he would light the explosives and blow everyone to pieces!
It can be said that if it weren't for Zhang Wuji, he would have really succeeded in doing this.
Now that Zhang Wuji is gone and Su Yi is here, Cheng Kun is destined not to succeed.
Su Yi thought for a moment and then made a plan.
He gave the torch to Xiao Zhao and asked her to stand back, while he made hand seals against the wall and murmured something, seemingly to himself, but in fact he was giving instructions to Qingfeng Mingyue.
He turned his back to Xiao Zhao, cut his fingers and drew a talisman with blood, then rubbed it on the foreheads of the two little ghosts.
Cheng Kun is a martial arts master. Although he is old, his energy and blood are still at their peak, far superior to ordinary people.
With such powerful energy and blood, Qingfeng Mingyue would be difficult to approach without the blessing of Su Yi's blood talisman.
The two brats quickly followed the order and left.
Cheng Kun, who was laying the gunpowder, suddenly became slightly distracted. He shook his head vigorously and then opened his eyes. Suddenly, he found that the gunpowder he had laid before was in a mess and scattered everywhere.
He felt a little strange in his heart, so he began to move, organize and re-lay it.
But what he didn't know was that Qingfeng was riding on his neck, covering his eyes with both hands, while Mingyue moved the gunpowder to a closed stone room on the other side.
Cheng Kun was holding a stone and spinning around in place from beginning to end!
When Su Yi turned around after doing this, he saw Xiao Zhao looking at him curiously.
"Brother, what are you doing?" she asked curiously, "Who were you talking to just now?"
Seeing her eyes widening, Su Yi suddenly became playful and said seriously: "With an old lady."
Xiao Zhao's eyes widened: "O-Old lady? W-where did this old lady come from?"
"I don't know where it came from." Su Yi shook his head, "She told me that her heart was missing and asked me if I had seen her heart."
Xiao Zhao's eyes widened in fear. He took two quick steps towards Su Yi and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, I, why didn't I see...the old lady?"
Su Yi pointed behind Xiao Zhao with an expressionless face: "Hey, isn't that the one who blows on the back of your neck?"
Xiao Zhao was so frightened that the hair on his body stood up and his limbs were cold. When Su Yi said this, he felt that the back of his neck was indeed cold, as if someone was blowing on him.
"Ghost..." She was so frightened that she screamed and jumped on Su Yi's body. Her head was buried in Su Yi's chest, and her whole body was shaking like chaff.
Su Yi hurriedly patted her back and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm joking with you, why are you so unfazed? Haha!"
Will you go a little too far?
Xiao Zhao was stiff all over, but still did not dare to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, are you really lying to me?"
"Where are the ghosts in this world?" Su Yi said, "Come down quickly!" Xiao Zhao was silent for a moment, jumped off Su Yi, and turned around with a pout, as if he was sulking.
Su Yi said: "Are you angry?"
"Brother, why do you want to tease Xiao Zhao?" Xiao Zhao said in a dull tone.
"Let's liven up the atmosphere!" Su Yi said with a smile. Fortunately, Cheng Kun was blinded by a ghost at this time, otherwise he would definitely hear Xiao Zhaogang's voice.
"Brother scared Xiao Zhao!" Xiao Zhao said without looking back.
"Okay, to apologize, I will take you to a good place. Come with me." Su Yi patted Xiao Zhao on the shoulder and took the torch from her hand.
Take the first step towards the third fork on the left. Xiao Zhao hurriedly followed, although he remained silent, looking at Su Yi's back, a shy smile appeared in his eyes.
In fact, she was not angry, but rather friendly and happy about this prank. It's just that she was crawling on Su Yi like a child just now, her limbs wrapped around Su Yi's body, and when she calmed down, she felt very embarrassed.
This fork in the road was high and low, and the ground was also rugged. Su Yi held the torch and walked forward slowly, hearing Xiao Zhao's hurried footsteps behind him.
Keep turning left along the corridor, spiraling downwards. The corridor becomes narrower and narrower, until it can only accommodate one person, like a deep well.
Xiao Zhao thought of what Su Yi had said to scare him before, and felt a cold feeling on the back of his neck. He kept thinking of a pale old woman blowing on his neck. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He couldn't help but take two steps quickly. , putting his hand into Su Yi's hand.
Su Yi, who was walking forward, looked back in surprise. Xiao Zhao lowered his head shyly and said, "Master, I'm afraid."
Su Yi chuckled: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have scared you."
Xiao Zhao shook his head hurriedly and said: "I like it very much, I'm afraid of it, and I also like it."
Su Yi smiled, then held her little hand and walked forward.
After walking a few more steps, the front suddenly became clear, but the path was blocked by a bumpy rock wall.
Su Yi handed the torch to Xiao Zhao again and used all his internal strength to push the door hard as before.
This time the stone door was heavier, and Su Yi used all his strength to barely push open a gap that could allow a person to pass sideways.
Su Yi exhaled a breath of foul air and stopped, saying to Xiao Zhao: "I'll go in first, if there's no problem, you can come in later."
"Brother, torch!" Xiao Zhao hurriedly handed the torch to Su Yi.
Su Yi flashed with the torch and sideways into the back of the master's door.
Inside was a huge stone cave with pointed stalactites hanging from the top, which seemed to be naturally formed.
There was a stone platform in the middle of the stone cave, which was flat and smooth, and was obviously built by humans.
There were two skeletons lying on the side of the stone platform. The clothes on the skeletons were not completely rotten, and it could be seen that they were a man and a woman.
"Brother? Brother!" Xiao Zhao called outside the door, his voice a little scared.
"Come in!" Su Yi stared at the two skeletons.
Xiao Zhao quickly got in and saw two skeletons. She screamed "Ah" and quickly shrank back to Su Yi's side, putting her little hand into Su Yi's hand again.
"Don't be afraid, they are just two dead people." Su Yi comforted her and pulled her forward.
When she got closer, she saw that the female skeleton was holding a dagger in her chest. Although it had been a long time, the dagger was still as bright and smooth as if it was new. It was obviously not an ordinary item.
The male skeleton was lying flat on the ground, with his hands tucked into his wide sleeves.
Su Yi squatted down and lifted his sleeves to take a look. He immediately found a piece of brown sheepskin in his left hand that had turned into dry bones.
Su Yi's heart moved and he picked it up.
Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he suddenly showed his joy and shouted in surprise: "Brother, this is the supreme martial arts of the Mingjiao!"
Su Yi spread out the sheepskin scroll and flipped it over. One side was fur and the other side was smooth. There was nothing.
Xiao Zhao quickly extended his index finger, bent down and scratched the dagger on the chest of the female skeleton, cutting a small cut, then squeezed out the blood and smeared the blood on the sheepskin.
As the blood soaked, words slowly appeared.
The first line was clearly the big words - Mingjiao Holy Fire Heart Method: Qiankun Da Migration!
"Brother, look!" Xiao Zhao said excitedly.
Su Yi smiled: "Xiao Zhao, how do you know the secret of this sheepskin?"
"I..." Xiao Zhao lowered his head, "When the master talked to the young lady, I overheard it secretly."
"Okay..." Su Yi shrugged, put away the sheepskin roll first, squatted down and continued to search the body.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhao also squatted down to help, pulled out the dagger from the female skeleton's chest, and handed it to Su Yi, saying, "Brother, this dagger is not made of ordinary iron, it is very sharp."
"Take it." Su Yi took a look and said, "This is a short blade for ladies, it is most suitable for you."
As he spoke, he searched for a letter from the male skeleton's arms.
