A knife in love

Chapter 355

The torrential river kept rushing past my eyes.As far as the eye can see, it is full of rapidly falling rain, covering the dangerous peaks and mountains on both sides of the river, it seems that a piece of boundless brocade hangs between the sky and the earth, cutting in front of Li Qiufeng's eyes, covering out of his sight.Tens of thousands of raindrops fell into the river, although countless splashes were aroused, but the water flow was so fast that the splashes were fleeting, and they were taken away by the current, and it was too late to make a final cry.

The boat rolled up and down with the waves of the river, almost capsized several times, but fell into the flat valley of the current with the waves.The raindrops hit the deck, and it seemed to be crackling non-stop, but the roar of the river completely covered all the sounds between heaven and earth, so Li Qiufeng could only see countless splashes on the deck. The sound of water droplets colliding could only echo in his mind.

Li Qiufeng was not alone on the boat, there was a man in gray sitting cross-legged in the middle of the cabin.This person was wearing a bamboo hat with tattered edges, and under the hat was a thin face.The rain hit the bamboo hat, turning into streams of water of different thicknesses, which slowly flowed down the four edges of the bamboo hat.

The eyes of the man in gray were slightly closed, deep wrinkles were carved on his face, and the short beard under his chin was already black with white.The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a strange smile on his originally slightly sad expression.

On the knee of the man in gray was a long knife with a black sheath.The knife is more than three feet long, and the handle is wrapped with black cloth, from the guard to the end of the handle.

Li Qiufeng sat cross-legged on the right side of the man in gray, but also put the Xiuchun knife across his knee.The river rushes swiftly, making the sound of thunder.The long breathing of the man in gray pierced through the sound of the rushing river, and entered Li Qiufeng's ears clearly.

The boat went around a dangerous shoal, the river suddenly tightened, and a huge black rock appeared in the river, like a sharp knife protruding from the river, splitting the river in two.The turbulent river was hit head-on by the huge black rock, and the water splashed in all directions. Two streams of water bypassed the two sides of the rock, and the water was so powerful that it rushed towards the boat.It's just that the turbulent water flow was blocked by the black rock, and a tiny calm water surface was formed directly behind the rock, which looked extraordinarily strange amidst the turbulent torrents around.

The man in gray opened his eyes slightly, looked at the calm water on the other side, and said slowly: "There is no kindness and no disgusting body, there is goodness and maliciousness. Knowing the good and knowing the evil is conscience, and doing good and eliminating evil is investigating things. Feng'er, all your questions are contained in these four sentences. Everything in the world has its own vitality and its own reason to survive in the world. Everything should go with the flow. If you insist on it, you will lose your heart. Falling into the magic way. Just like the river in front of us, although it twists and turns, it finally returns to the sea."

Li Qiufeng nodded slightly, and said, "Disciple, remember!"

The man in gray stroked the long knife across his knee with his right hand, thought for a moment, and then said: "Know the male and guard the female, know the strong and attack the weak, know the white and destroy the black, everything in the world is like this. Whether it's a knife or a sword, because it doesn't compete, there is no way in the world to compete with it! Feng'er, this journey is full of difficulties and dangers, and success or failure cannot be forced. The general trend of the world is like this surging river, even if you and I Like this huge rock in the middle of the river, it can only block the dangerous current a little bit, and find a calm water surface. Therefore, when going to the capital, one must adapt to the situation, and if one cannot move forward, one must retreat as soon as possible..."

Before the man in gray finished speaking, a wave suddenly hit the boat. The boat was excited by the huge wave, and the bow of the boat suddenly lifted up. The bodies of the two of them rose into the air with the boat. Li Qiufeng was shocked and put his left hand on the deck , the body has already jumped up, reaching out to help the man in gray.Just in the blink of an eye, the rain, river water, huge rocks, rapids, and the man in gray all disappeared without a trace.

What appeared in front of him was the face of Murong Danyan.

Li Qiufeng was startled, his right hand had already grasped the handle of the Xiuchun Knife.But he saw that Murong Danyan was holding two steamed buns in his left hand, and gently resting his right hand on his shoulder, as if he was waking him up.

Li Qiufeng regained his composure, let go of his right hand holding the knife, smiled apologetically, and said, "I fell asleep, I'm really sorry."

After he finished speaking, he realized that the cave was bustling with people, and three or four thousand high-ranking gangsters were sitting around and eating together.Murong Danyan smiled and said: "There are grains and bacon in many stone rooms over there. Mr. Liu found hundreds of people, steamed the steamed buns, and cut the bacon. I see that you are sleeping very deeply, and I want to wake you up several times , but Mr. Liu said that you are too tired and asked you to sleep for a while. It’s just that these guys are like starving ghosts. If you don’t wake you up, I’m afraid there won’t even be half a bun left..."

Li Qiufeng took the steamed bun and thanked him.He was indeed hungry, swallowed the two steamed buns like a storm, sighed contentedly, and was about to stand up, but Murong Danyan sat beside him, looked into his eyes, and said slowly: " Brother Li, what did you dream about just now?"

Li Qiufeng was startled, and looked at Murong Danyan with some doubts, saw her pair of wonderful eyes staring at him, and when he was about to ask, he heard Murong Danyan continue to say: "I saw that when you were sleeping, the corners of your mouth twitched slightly, and your face The muscles are also shaking, and sometimes the lips are shaking up and down, as if talking to someone. Looking at you, I think you must have some nightmare. My mother told me that if you have a nightmare, just say it , there will be no bad luck. Therefore, if I have a bad dream, I must go to my mother and tell it all over again. If my mother is not there, I will go to my father. Although he is impatient, he also You have to listen to me. Later, when my dad heard that I was going to tell him about the nightmare, he made excuses and slipped away. I had no choice but to go to my brother. Once I had a nightmare and couldn’t find my mother. I went to my brother with my father. He was practicing sword in the garden, so he cut a hole in the tree with his sword, and told me that if I had a nightmare in the future, I just put my face against the hole and told me Listen to the big tree, and there will be no more bad luck. Ah, that was more than ten years ago. The tree is still in the garden, but it has become a towering tree. Brother Li, I'm waiting for you Murong Villa, let me show you that big tree, okay?"

Li Qiufeng listened to her narration of these trivial matters, his face radiated a soft light, his heart was moved, he nodded immediately, and said: "When I return to Sichuan, after I finish my work, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely go to Jiangnan to meet you." Mr. Murong Qiushui."

Murong Danyan said: "I will go to Sichuan with you, and then you will go back to Jiangnan with me, okay?"

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and his originally smiling expression gradually dimmed. After half the salary, he slowly said to Murong Danyan: "I grew up in Sichuan, and every rainy season, I would follow a The seniors went to pay homage to the ancestors. This trip is not less than thousands of miles, how can you, a girl, bear the ups and downs of the thousands of miles?"

Murong Danyan was anxious, staring at his eyes and said: "No! How far is it from Jiangnan to the capital? Don't forget, I went to Songshan Mountain alone and met the world-renowned Shaolin monk. Didn't I also retreat completely? ?”

Li Qiufeng said with a smile: "The Shaolin Temple is a well-known and upright sect, and all the masters in the temple are virtuous and eminent monks, so naturally they would not make things difficult for a little girl like you. Miss Murong, the world is dangerous, people's hearts are unpredictable, you can't really imagine..."

Murong Danyan curled her lips and said impatiently: "Okay, I know it is. Brother Li, you are not much older than me, so don't always treat me like a little girl who doesn't understand anything. In short, I must go to Shuzhong..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Zhu Sanjia walking over quickly.Murong Danyan blushed, stood up hastily, and said to Li Qiufeng, "I'll go see Sister Sha!" After speaking, he nodded at Zhu Sanjia, then turned and left.

When Li Qiufeng saw that Zhu San's family had arrived, he stood up and said to Zhu San's family: "Brother Zhu, what's the matter?"

Zhu Sanjia's face was serious, and he whispered to Li Qiufeng: "I have communicated with the brothers in the secret way just now, and now Hutouyan is full of masters in Shajiabao, and the exit at the stone archway on the peak is heavily guarded. I'm afraid it's impossible to escape from the cave there."

Li Qiufeng had expected that Shajiabao would be on strict guard after Qunhao stood out from the siege of officers and soldiers. He was not surprised by what Zhu Sanjia said, but nodded and said: "Although there are tens of thousands of people outside the cave Officers and soldiers, it's just that this army has a strange origin, and its rations have been burned, so it will definitely not delay here. Although the security on Hutou Rock is heavily guarded, we are full of experts here. The master sneaked out from the top of the cliff, checked the surrounding situation, and then made a decision."

Zhu Sanjia nodded in agreement.Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, and said to Zhu Sanjia: "We have no time to take care of things outside the cave for the time being. There is just one thing, Li wants to ask Brother Zhu for advice."

Zhu Sanjia was startled, and said: "Young Master Li has something to say, just say it."

Li Qiufeng said: "When we passed the hanging stone ladder, I was in the abyss, and I once fought against a person. This person's martial arts skills are extremely high, I don't know why he hid there, let alone whether his target is us. No Do you know what Big Brother Zhu thinks about this matter?"

Zhu Sanjia shook his head and said: "30 years ago, when I was a 12-year-old boy, my father took me to this cave for the first time. Since then, I have always visited this cave three or four times a year. However, he has never met outsiders. This cave was selected by Yao Guangxiao himself, and he personally designed countless extremely powerful mechanisms. Although the ancestors of the Sha family and Zhu family were sent to expand it in the future, they only built the cave and the surrounding stone chambers. It is used to store grain, grass and weapons. As for other secret passages and stone chambers, Yao Guangxiao strictly ordered others not to enter, otherwise they would touch the mechanism and it would be difficult to escape. After the cave was built, all the craftsmen who made weapons have been wiped out. With Yao Guangxiao's resourcefulness, I am afraid that The officers and soldiers on this errand are not spared either. Therefore, apart from King Yan and his confidantes, Yao Guangxiao, and the ancestors of the Sha family and Zhu family, there is probably no one else who knows the secrets of this cave."

When he said this, he looked at Li Qiufeng, and then he continued: "Young Master Li, you can think about it, if someone else knew the secret of this cave, someone would have tampered with it in the past hundred years. It's just me The ancestors of the Zhu family who guarded the cave in the past did not leave any records about the discovery of human footprints in the cave."

Li Qiufeng recalled the situation when he fought against that person in the abyss under the suspended stone ladder, although the fight between the two was only a single move, he already knew that the person had deep internal energy and was definitely not a ghost.It's just that this person is obviously a master of martial arts, why he hid in the Jedi, this matter is too weird, it is really puzzling.
