A knife in love

Chapter 356

Seeing Li Qiufeng's serious face, the three Zhu family were also surprised and uncertain.Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, and said to Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Zhu, you said that there is a Jingxin Temple in the secret path, and there is a very powerful mechanism inside. I want to go and have a look. I wonder if Brother Zhu can lead the way?"

The Zhu family was startled, looked at Li Qiufeng, and paused for a moment before saying: "Young master Li, the ancestors of my Zhu family have left messages. The Jingxin Temple was built by Yao Guangxiao himself, and there are reports of agencies all over it. If you break into it, touch it. If you leave the agency, there will be no return..."

Li Qiufeng didn't wait for him to finish, and said immediately: "But why did the ancestors of the Zhu family let the descendants take refuge in the Jingxin Temple when they were in danger in the cave?"

Zhu Sanjia said: "Young Master Li, according to what our ancestors said, it is true that if you encounter an accident in the cave in the future, you can temporarily take refuge in Jingxin Temple. Before entering the gate of the temple, you had to disconnect the killing mechanism in the passageway before entering the gate of Jingxin Temple. After entering the temple, you can only wait in the courtyard, and you must not enter the main hall and wing rooms, otherwise the mechanism will be activated. , will be burnt together, the descendants of the Zhu family will die without a place to bury, so be careful. Mr. Li, this sentence has been passed down from generation to generation in my Zhu family, and it has been passed down to this day. I think it is definitely not a false threat..."

When Zhu Sanjia said this, his voice trembled slightly.Li Qiufeng saw his complexion changed, so he naturally knew that what he said was true, but he remembered that with Yao Guangxiao's ability, since a temple was built in this cave, there must be a huge secret hidden in it.The tyrants are trapped here because of factional struggles in the imperial court, and behind the factional struggles, there is the fratricide of the royal family.And all of this is inextricably linked to the battle of Jingnan a hundred years ago.Although it was Zhu Di, King of Yan who launched the Battle of Jingnan, the mastermind who instigated him to raise troops and made suggestions for it was Yao Guangxiao, known as the "Prime Minister in Black".This generation of eminent monk who is proficient in the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, not only has insight into the world situation, has beautiful articles in his chest, but also a great master and master of martial arts.According to what Zhu Sanjia said, since the ancestors of the Zhu family strictly ordered their descendants not to enter Jingxin Temple without permission, there must be secrets that Yao Guangxiao didn't want the world to know.But this secret, for Li Qiufeng, has infinite magic power, which attracts him to investigate it.

Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, and said to the Zhu family: "Brother Zhu, there is one thing that I am afraid will offend the ancestors of the Zhu family..."

Zhu Sanjia didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "Young Master Li, if you want to crack Jingxin Temple, just go there."

Li Qiufeng was stunned, unexpectedly, Zhu Sanjia guessed his own thoughts, and was about to speak, but heard Zhu Sanjia continued: "Actually, for decades, I have been thinking that keeping this cave, for Daming Jiangshan, Is it a good thing or a bad thing. At that time, King Yan raised his troops and competed with Emperor Jianwen for the world. The two sides fought for three years, and no fewer than 40 million officers and soldiers were killed on the battlefield. The Southern Army besieged Beiping, and more than ten people from both sides During a great battle, the city of Beiping was littered with corpses, and there was no human habitation within a hundred miles. Food was cut off several times in the city, and countless people died of starvation. Afterwards, the Northern Army went south, burned, killed and looted all the way, besieged Jinan, attacked Yingtian, and died in chaos There are no less than one million people in the army. What does the royal family have to do with the people in the world when they compete for the throne? King Yan ascended the throne and became the emperor, and slaughtered the remaining officials of Emperor Jianwen. Among other things, the ten clans of Fang Xiaoru and the ten clans of Fang Xiaoru died tragically. Most of these millions of lives were lost in vain."

When Zhu Sanjia said this, his heart was extremely excited, his voice trembled, and after a short pause, he regained his composure, and then said: "King Yan became the emperor, and he left this cave, which still makes Sha The family and the Zhu family guarded this place for generations. Although they were worried that the capital would be besieged by the enemy, they left this place as the foundation for counterattack. However, in the past hundred years, it has never been of any use. The imperial court was in chaos, but Hutouyan was still silent. If Yu Shaobao hadn’t tried his best to turn the tide, the Ming Dynasty would have collapsed. At that time, all the elites of the Ming Dynasty were destroyed in the battle of Tumubao. The opponents of the Tazi soldiers with high morale and sufficient food and grass? It’s just that these weak soldiers who have just put on their uniforms and have never even been on the battlefield finally drove away the Tartars and kept the capital. It can be seen that the decisive battle It's not just weapons, food and grass, but what people want. If the food, grass and luggage hidden in this cave are occupied by evil people with ulterior motives, the world will be in chaos. When the time comes, the soldiers will be in trouble, and blood will inevitably flow into rivers. I'm afraid it will be a disaster It was not as tragic as the battle of Jingnan in the past. Jingxin Temple was built by Yao Guangxiao, and there is naturally the secret of this cave in it. This move by Mr. Li is exactly what I want..."

Li Qiufeng didn't expect that the Zhu family would have such a view. He was surprised and admired, and couldn't help but tremblingly said: "Brother Zhu, your kindness is really rare in the world. Compared with Brother Zhu, Li But his vision is too small."

Zhu Sanjia shook his head and said: "There is another meaning, but it is my old Zhu's selfishness. More than a hundred years ago, the ancestors of my Zhu family and the Sha family killed hundreds of craftsmen in this cave. Most of the officers and soldiers who guarded the craftsmen forging weapons also died in their hands. Although they were ordered by the king of Yan and Yao Guangxiao to do this, they committed serious crimes. Over the past hundred years, although the ancestors of my family did not know I said, but I also know that they must be very regretful in their hearts. Since I was sensible, I found that my father was depressed every day, and I heard from my mother that he often woke up screaming in his sleep and sweating profusely when he woke up. There is a Buddhist hall in my home, and I will burn incense and chant scriptures every morning and evening, and sincerely repent. I didn’t know what he did when I was young, but as I got older, I gradually understood that his actions were to save those who died tragically at the hands of my Zhu family ancestors. The ghosts of hundreds of craftsmen. My father has been in poor health. It was caused by his inner worries. He finally vomited blood and died. This is also the root cause. If this cave can be destroyed, the food and grass will no longer be a disaster In the world, it can be considered that my Zhu family has done a little good for the people of the world, and maybe it can reduce a little bit the crimes committed by the ancestors of the Zhu family!"

When he said this, he said to Li Qiufeng: "It's just that my old Zhu is a big bastard, and I don't know any government information. Although I have been to Jingxin Temple several times, I just walked around in the courtyard. I am the main hall and the side rooms. Absolutely dare not take half a step. That place, that place..."

When Zhu Sanjia said this, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and after a while, he said with lingering fear: "Evil door!"

Li Qiufeng never believed in ghosts and gods. Seeing Zhu Sanjia's suddenly fearful expression, he was quite amused, and thought to himself: "It is said that Yao Guangxiao is not only good at martial arts, but also very good at medical astrology and other miscellaneous subjects. He is proficient. As for yin and yang gossip and other tricks of pretending to be gods and ghosts, he is even more good at it. More than a hundred years ago, he instigated King Yan to raise troops, and he used a lot of witchcraft to strengthen King Yan's determination to win the throne. Since the Jingxin Temple was built by him, it is not difficult to set up some tricks and tricks inside."

Zhu Sanjia was about to speak, but saw Liu Yong coming over with the leaders of Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng, Songshan and other sects, so they stopped talking.Li Qiufeng exchanged a few words with the heads, but he heard Liu Yong say: "Brother Li, Liu and the heads checked the food stored in this cave. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with it for three or four days. It's just that We have three to four thousand people here, all gathered in one place, it is not a good idea..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Yilang, the head of the Songshan School, said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the food and grass, these three or four thousand people will be able to flood this cave!"

Everyone laughed when they heard what he said.Liu Yong said: "Although head Lin is joking, what he said is not a trivial matter. The gathering of three or 4000 of us can easily cause plague. Besides, although the entrance of the cave is covered by a stone gate, once the officers and soldiers bring in firearms, the entrance of the cave will be blown up." Open, I'm afraid it will be bad for us, so it's better for us to find a way to leave this place as soon as possible."

After hearing Liu Yong's words, several heads looked at Li Qiufeng together.Li Qiufeng said: "As far as Li knows, besides the cave we escaped in, there are at least two exits in the mountainside. It's just that one of them is located in the Shajiabao on the top of Hutou Rock, unless it is absolutely necessary. , we cannot return to Shajiabao. Although the other one is outside Shajiabao, it is said that there are enemy guards at the entrance of the cave, and there is an extremely dangerous suspended stone ladder on the way. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss. If you want to force it through, I'm afraid there will be casualties..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Chenghe, the head of the Qingcheng faction, said: "We have three to four thousand people here, and there are no fewer than a hundred first-class masters. We can choose forty or fifty masters, and kill the generals from the exit. Even if there are guards there, How can we withstand the joint attack of so many masters? As long as the masters we send can hold on for a while, three or 4000 people rush out at the same time, and they will surely kill a bloody path."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "Li has walked through that cave once, and the exit is extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass through. If the enemy finds out, they will attack in groups, and the friends in the world who rushed out first will be surrounded. If the enemy is guarding the entrance of the cave, we want to support from behind, but it is extremely difficult to rush out. At that time, if the enemy destroys the entrance of the cave, or throws torches and hidden weapons into the cave, I am afraid that our entire army will be wiped out."

After hearing what he said, everyone thought it was true, and no one spoke for a while.Li Qiufeng saw the dejection on the faces of the people, and then said: "You don't have to worry. Although there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers besieging us, they didn't carry firearms with them. They wanted to blow up the huge boulder at the exit. It can't be done. What's more, the food and grass of the army have been burned. These tens of thousands of people have no food, and I am afraid that they will not be able to survive for a day. Hutouyan is located in the barren mountains, and the officers and soldiers have to raise from the surrounding area to supply tens of thousands of people. The army’s rations cannot be obtained in a day or two. As long as the general in charge of the officers and soldiers is not a lunatic, this army will definitely not stay here for a long time. Let’s recharge our batteries in the cave first, and then send experts to check the situation outside the cave. Situation. As soon as the officers and soldiers withdrew, we would kill the generals out from the entrance of the cave. Experts like Yuqingzi and Monk Guangzhi could only escape after being charged with all their strength. Other evil faction figures are naturally nothing to worry about. So don't be anxious, Li estimates that within twelve hours, the officers and soldiers outside the cave must be evacuated!"
