A knife in love

Chapter 3229

When Shi Daji said this, he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and wanted to kowtow to Li Qiufeng.Li Qiufeng was taken aback, and hurriedly helped him up, saying repeatedly that he couldn't do it.Murong Danyan originally had doubts about Shi Daji and Shi Dongduo, but now seeing Shi Daji's appearance, he was quite moved.

After Li Qiufeng comforted Shi Daji and Shi Dongduo, he discussed with the two monks how to leave the cave.He said to the two monks: "The fastest way is naturally to climb to the top of the cliff along the stone wall, but the two Zen masters were beaten by the gang of traitors, and they were injured and could not climb to the top of the cliff. They had to be taken care of for several days. We can only climb the rock wall after our injuries have healed a bit. However, if the accomplices of this group of traitors come to search and find us hiding in the cave, I am afraid that things will be very bad. How can we think of a way to leave the cave as soon as possible? Best policy."

After hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Shi Dongduo hurriedly said: "There is a secret passage in the stone room, which can lead to the foot of the mountain. It's just that there is an iron door in the cave, which has been locked by these gangsters. I have already fallen down the mountain with him. If we don’t have the key, we can’t open the iron gate, alas.”

When Shi Dongduo said this, he sighed and his expression was quite gloomy.Before Li Qiufeng could speak, Murong Danyan rushed to say: "This sword of mine is very sharp, maybe it can break the lock. Please let the two Zen masters lead the way, let's go to the iron gate and have a look."

As soon as Murong Danyan finished speaking, Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Don't be so anxious. Let's search these corpses first, maybe the key is on them."

Murong Danyan was startled when he heard what Li Qiufeng said, and thought to himself that the guy who fell off the cliff just now was the leader of this group, and it is most appropriate for him to carry such important things as the iron door key with him. Put it on his subordinates?It's just that since Li Qiufeng spoke, Murong Danyan didn't want to refute in front of Shi Daji and Shi Dongduo, so he nodded, and was about to turn around to find the key on the corpse on her left, when Li Qiufeng stopped her and said : "This kind of thing will be done by Li, don't bother Mu...you do it."

Li Qiufeng was negligent for a moment, and almost said the words "Miss Murong".It's just that Murong Danyan is dressed up as a man, if he calls her a "girl", Shi Daji and Shi Dongduo must be suspicious, and unavoidable complications.So he hastily swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Murong Danyan heard what Li Qiufeng said, and saw him winking at him, signaling that he should not speak, so he nodded and took two steps back.

Li Qiufeng walked to a corpse, leaned over and searched him carefully, but found nothing.Then he searched two more corpses, but still did not find the key.Seeing this situation, Murong Danyan was quite disappointed.Li Qiufeng walked to the last corpse, which was the one whose head had been beheaded by the man in gray.Li Qiufeng reached out and groped in the corpse's arms, his face changed, and then he took back his right hand, holding a key in his hand.

When Murong Danyan saw that Li Qiufeng had found the key, he was overjoyed and couldn't help clapping his hands.Shi Daji and Shi Dongduo also smiled, clasped their hands together, and silently recited the Buddha's name.Li Qiufeng put the key in his arms, then dragged the four corpses out of the stone room and threw them under the cliff.When he walked back to the stone room, Murong Danyan asked with a smile: "Brother Li, how do you know the key is with this traitor?"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said: "The guy who fell off the cliff is indeed the leader of this group. Logically speaking, the leader should naturally carry important things with him. It's just that Li thought that if the group found gold and silver treasures from the stone room Naturally, the leader should carry it with him. Small things such as keys are not used in mansions and big houses. To this person, they are not great things, and they cannot be seen by him. You might as well leave them to your subordinates to carry them. But Li is just guessing, but fortunately, he found the key from the corpse, which is really a fluke."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he handed the key to Shi Daji and said, "Please Zen Master lead the way, let's leave here together."

Shi Daji tremblingly stretched out his hands to take the key, his expression was quite happy, he folded his hands together, and recited "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva", then turned around and walked to the right side of the stone room, stretched out his left hand and groped a few times on the stone wall. Down, and then pressed down hard.Hearing a light "poof", Shi Daji's left hand sank several inches into the stone wall.Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan were startled, thinking to themselves that Shi Daji is getting old, has never practiced martial arts, and has injuries, yet he is able to press the stone wall. When a person is in a hurry, his strength is not small.

When the two of them were thinking about it, they heard a loud bang. On the stone wall on the right side of the stone chamber, there was a stone six feet high and three feet wide that slowly receded into the stone wall. After a while, a portal appeared on the stone wall. .The cool wind blows out from the door, the oil lamps and candles in the stone room are blown by the wind, and the flames are swaying here and there, making the stone room full of figures, which is very strange.Seeing this situation, Murong Danyan was startled, clenched the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and fixed his eyes on Shi Daji.

Shi Daji took down a candle from the stone wall, turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan: "You two benefactors, please follow me into the secret path."

After he finished speaking, he walked into the portal first.Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Shi Dongduo each took a candle and held it in their hands, followed Shi Daji and filed into the secret passage.After the four of them walked into the secret path, Shi Daji stopped again, turned around and said to Li Qiufeng: "That person told the old monk and his disciples the location of this secret path, and taught the method of opening and closing the stone gate. Let's enter the secret path. After the passage, the stone gate must be closed, lest the associates of those wicked people enter the stone room and discover our whereabouts, which will inevitably cause trouble."

Li Qiufeng nodded after hearing what Shi Daji said, and said: "Everything is up to the Zen master, so there is no need to say more."

Murong Danyan was puzzled, thinking to himself that the situation is critical now, and this old monk is still rambling, which is really annoying.It's just that when she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a loud "rumbling" sound coming from behind, and then she only felt that her eyes dimmed, but the stone door behind her had been closed.Murong Danyan's heart trembled, and only now did he know that Shi Daji wanted to close the Shimen, afraid that he and Li Qiufeng would suspect that he had other plans, so he made it clear about closing the Shimen.Thinking of this, Murong Danyan felt ashamed in his heart, thinking to himself that this old monk was very thoughtful.If he doesn't say a word, he will close the stone gate, Brother Li and I will be completely unprepared in a hurry, and we may immediately take action to restrain these two monks in panic.Just now I was still blaming the old monk for his long-winded words, but it turned out that I was wrong.
