A knife in love

Chapter 359

After everyone entered the secret passage, they could only hear the whistling wind in their ears, their faces felt cold, and the flames of the torches in their hands were blown upside down, making the shadows of the people fluctuate on the stone wall, which was quite strange.

Situ Qiao and Zhu Sanjia walked side by side. Seeing that the flame of the torch was wobbling, he tried to walk more than ten feet forward, then stopped and said to Zhu Sanjia: "Brother, you said that you have come from Walking here, don't you feel something is wrong?"

Zhu Sanjia wondered: "What's wrong?"

Situ Qiao said: "Wind! This wind is not right."

Zhu Sanjia looked bewildered, turned to look at Li Qiufeng and others who were following behind, and then said to Situ Qiao: "What's wrong with the wind?"

As he spoke, he sniffed a few times with his nose, shook his head, and said, "It's just an ordinary wind, with some moisture at most, and it's no different from the wind outside the valley."

Situ Qiao said: "We didn't feel the wind in the cave, why did the wind pick up when we walked into this secret passage? You also said just now that this place is several miles away from the exit, and there are many twists and turns along the way." Turn around, even if the wind blows in from the exit, how can it be blown here?"

While speaking, Situ Qiao stretched out his hand, touched the stone wall a few times, then raised his hand in front of his eyes, looked carefully for a long time with the light of the torch, nodded, and said to Zhu Sanjia: "But there is one thing. You also discovered that there is moisture in this wind."

Liu Yong and others stood behind, seeing what Situ Qiao said, they felt a little strange.Liu Yong said: "Brother Situ, this cave is located in the middle of the mountain, so it's not surprising that it's a bit damp."

Situ Qiao shook his head and said, "I have surveyed the surrounding area in the past few days. Hutou Rock is located at the end of the mountain range. Although the surface is covered with black soil, it is actually a stone mountain. The inside of the mountain should not be so humid."

Although everyone is good at martial arts, they just don't know much about the agency's news, and they don't know much about geography and metaphysics, so the more they listen, the more confused they become, and everyone has a look of surprise and uncertainty on their faces.

However, Situ Qiao became more and more excited as he talked, and finally he danced and said loudly to the crowd: "This cave is really a blessed place. If my guess is right, there must be a huge river at the bottom of the mountain. And this kind of terrain , there must be a master who built a mausoleum here!"

At this time, all the people in the tunnel, except Zhu Sanjia and Situ Qiao, have all been to the imperial tomb at the foot of Babao Lotus Mountain.Thinking of the terrifying scene encountered in that underground netherworld, everyone's face suddenly changed color.Liu Yong said: "Brother Situ, according to your guess, there is also an imperial tomb here?"

Situ Qiao shook his head and said: "When emperors and generals build mausoleums, they must invite extremely powerful experts to choose auspicious soil. The emperor's mausoleum is most forbidden to have stones under the mausoleum, let alone water behind the mausoleum. If there are stones, dig them out. If it is not deep, the underground palace will inevitably hang on the ground, and it will be easy for thieves to dig. Carrying water, over time, the underground water will seep into the mausoleum, and the underground palace will be submerged by water. The descendants are homeless. Not to mention the emperor's house, even the rich and gentry with a little money and food are extremely taboo about this. If someone dares to choose such a place for the royal family to build a mausoleum, the emperor will have his head chopped off. What's more, the terrain around Hutou Rock is narrow and precipitous, extremely desolate, and at first glance it is full of ominous appearances..."

When he said this, he kept shaking his head and said: "Impossible, impossible, this is absolutely impossible to be the emperor's mausoleum!"

Seeing that Situ Qiao spoke in a cloud of mist, and finally didn't know where he went, they all showed hesitation on their faces.Lin Yilang was the most impatient. He stopped here for a long time, and he was already impatient. He rushed forward and said to Situ Qiao: "Brother, whether there is a mausoleum here has nothing to do with our trip. The important thing is Enter that Jingxin Temple as soon as possible, and see if you can find a secret way to escape. If your brother is interested in this place, after we escape, we can come here to inspect it carefully in the future, but no one stops us, wouldn't it be great? "

He thought that Situ Qiao would retort when he heard this, but Situ Qiao was not only not angry, but laughed and said: "Brother, listen to me first. Actually, when it comes to the mausoleum The matter has a great relationship with this Jingxin Temple. I have just said that the emperor will not build a mausoleum here because it contradicts the theory of auspicious land in Fengshui. But because of this, Some people are ingenious and choose this kind of place to make their own tombs. First, the terrain is dangerous. If someone wants to destroy the body of the tomb owner, it will be extremely difficult. Second, most of the tomb robbers are proficient in ventilation and water, and they have not robbed the tomb. In the past, I often looked at the direction of the land veins first, and I could judge whether there was a large tomb underground based on the terrain. Here, there are poor mountains and bad waters, and tomb robbers must seldom visit. The third point, which is the most important point, is that there is a huge Underground rivers..."

When Situ Qiao said this, Murong Danyan couldn't help interrupting him, and said aside: "Mr. Situ, didn't you just say that the grave should not carry water, otherwise it will be flooded? Why did you say that there is a The underground river has become the benefit of building a tomb here?"

Situ Qiao has nothing else to love in his life, and he loves the art of organ information to the point of madness.He was originally from a rich family in Hebei, but he liked to play with woodworking tools since he was a child, and the buildings he built were extremely realistic.At the beginning, the elders of Situ's family praised him for his ingenuity, but as he got older, the elders of the family invited him to be a well-educated Confucian, and they wanted him to study the Four Books and Five Classics, so that he could gain fame and glory in order to glorify his ancestors.Unexpectedly, Situ Qiao was already deeply obsessed with these strange skills, and had no interest in the Four Books and Five Classics, so he drove away four or five gentlemen by cursing angrily.The elders of Situ's family were extremely annoyed, and punished Situ Qiao with family law many times, but to no avail.Later, Situ Qiao was no longer satisfied with building a small house with some wooden sticks, and even moved his mind about the buildings at home.In a few days, with carpentry tools in hand, he demolished seven houses of Situ's family.The patriarch of the Situ family was furious and beat Situ Qiao in public.In a rage, Situ Qiao escaped overnight, and has been wandering around in the rivers and lakes ever since.By chance, he met a group of tomb thieves, and was coerced into them. At first he worked as a watchman, and then the boss of the group of tomb thieves accidentally discovered Situ Qiao's ingenuity, so he taught him some methods to decipher the mechanism's news. means.Originally, the boss just wanted to have another helper. Unexpectedly, Situ Qiao was born to be a master of tomb robbers. After a little guidance from the boss, he was able to draw inferences from one instance to another, which was a blessing to his soul. However, within a few months, he was far superior to the boss in deciphering the mechanism.

After half a year like this, when this group of people stole a large tomb of the Western Jin Dynasty in Tongguan, they were discovered by the passing Huashan School masters.Although this group of tomb robbers possessed martial arts, they were no match for the disciples of the Huashan School.The leading few thieves died under the sword of the Huashan faction, and after the rest were captured, most of them were sent to the local government office by the Huashan faction.There were only a few people who either did not do much evil or were coerced into gangs. After the Huashan faction interrogated them, they gave some money and taught them to go home and live.It's just that Situ Qiao is not well-versed in the world, and he talks insanely. The people of Huashan faction don't know the details of this person, and it is not easy to send him to the official for a while, so they have to take him to see Liu Yong.Liu Yong was the shrewdest member of the Huashan School, and he asked about Situ Qiao's background in a few words.He gave Situ Qiao silver taels and advised him to return to Situ's house and live in peace instead of wandering around in the rivers and lakes.

After Situqiao took the silver, he bid farewell to the members of the Huashan School, but he did not go home. He was still wandering between the rivers and lakes, from Xianyang to Xianyang in the west, Mount Tai in the east, and Liuzhou in the south.During the period, he was quite adventurous and escaped from death several times. Fortunately, he was also considered a lucky star, and he survived unscathed.Even more by chance, in a large tomb in Ailao Mountain, Yunnan, I obtained a secret book of martial arts.He is by nature only interested in collecting information, and he has no interest in martial arts secrets. He has just wandered in the Jianghu for two or three years, and knows that if he has no power to restrain a chicken, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch in the Jianghu, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet , endured the disgust, searched for an ancient temple in the remote mountains, and practiced against that martial arts secret book for more than a year, thinking that it was enough to deal with some mountain bandits, so he burned the martial arts secret book and set off again. Into the rivers and lakes.

But he didn't know that the martial arts secret book he burned was the "Chi Long Jing" written by Kong Konger, a great thief in the Tang Dynasty, which recorded Kong Konger's most powerful boxing, swordsmanship and light work.That Kong Konger traverses the world, his boxing and swordsmanship are all unique, the most powerful is his lightness kung fu, it can almost be said to be unparalleled in the world.Situ Qiao doesn't know martial arts at all, let alone what kind of character Kong Kong'er is.After getting the secret book, I just flipped through it roughly.He has no interest in swordsmanship, so he just ignores it. He has read boxing techniques carefully, and only picks the few sets that are easiest to learn. As for the ever-changing moves, Situ Qiao has no foundation in martial arts at all. If there is no expert guidance, it is more difficult to master the situation without a teacher than to ascend to the sky.The second is that he really has no interest in martial arts, seeing complicated martial arts moves would cause headaches.Therefore, the few sets of boxing techniques he practiced were only the most superficial kung fu of Kong Kong'er during his lifetime.As for Kong Kong'er's lightweight skills, it is even more important to lay a solid foundation.Situ Qiao flipped through a few pages and saw that he needed to dig deep pits, tie bricks to his legs, tie tiles to his waist, and build sunken wood on his back, so he was not interested in reading again, and only practiced the simple jumping and somersaulting skills, and the rest of the advanced and light kung fu mind, ignore

Even so, considering how powerful that Kong Konger is, the martial arts practiced by Situ Qiao is even less than his own, but when he strikes, he is quite decent, and it is no problem to deal with ordinary people in the world.

It's just that this martial arts secret book, which can shock the past and the present, was burned by Situ Qiao, which is really regrettable.Thinking about the time when the master was running around the world, although he did a lot of chivalrous things such as robbing the rich and helping the poor, but he also did a lot of robbing ancient tombs, stealing money, and vicious things.When he was alive, he also knew that he had a lot of grievances. If his body was discovered by his enemies after death, he would inevitably be abused and ruined by others, so he stayed away from the Central Plains and lived in seclusion in Ailao Mountain. He built a mausoleum full of organs for himself. The martial arts he had learned in his life was written into a booklet and hidden in the mausoleum.Those who think they can open the mausoleum will definitely treat their remains kindly because they are grateful for the virtue of leaving books and giving them away.Unexpectedly, he met such a fool as Situ Qiao, who robbed tombs not for money, let alone martial arts secrets, but purely for his own preference.After getting the secret book of martial arts, Situ Qiao thought it was a secret technique for building a mausoleum at first, so he left happily. When he found out that it was a secret book of martial arts, he was immediately disappointed. After rough training, he even set it on fire.If Kong Kong'er knew about it underground, I'm afraid he could only cry and laugh.
