A knife in love

Chapter 372

Although everyone has only known Situ Qiao for half a day, they have already seen that although his martial arts are not high, he is only proficient in the secrets of organs, narrow-minded, arrogant, and even more mean-spirited.Hearing him speak at this moment, his voice trembled slightly, thinking that there must have been a great accident at that time, so everyone was curious and wanted to know what he had discovered, so they were so horrified.

Situ Qiao stared at the shadows of the people reflected by the torches on the stone wall, and said slowly: "When Monk Hongjing was persuading him outside the hall, I could still hear a few words at first, but later on, my mind turned. I just think about how to get out, and I don’t know what bullshit this old monk is talking about. It’s just that when I was thinking, my eyes kept looking at the white wall opposite. The white wall reflected the shadow of the statue behind me. It looks extremely tall, but the shadow is caused by the light of the torches through the glazed windows, so if the torches in the hands of the monks outside the hall move slightly, the shadows will also sway left and right on the wall, which looks quite strange.

"I didn't notice the difference at the beginning, but after watching for a long time, I suddenly realized that the white wall facing the statue was slightly different from other places. After I found out, my heart trembled. I was afraid that the hall was dark. I had hallucinations in front of my eyes, so I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully at the white wall. This time I could see clearly that there was a faint shape of a door on the white wall. If it wasn't for the torches outside the hall that couldn't keep moving, making The shadow of the statue swayed on the white wall, and I really couldn't find the weirdness on the wall..."

When Situ Qiao said this, Murong Danyan was quite puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "I don't understand this. I think that if the white wall is under the light, there will be abnormalities. You are hiding In the main hall, there are statues covering it, and the wall is always bright and dark, so how could it be easier to find something strange on the wall than usual?"

Situ Qiao said: "Most people think the same as you, so even if there is a secret in front of you, you can't find it."

When he said this, he sneered again.Seeing that he made an inscrutable look again, everyone felt extremely disgusted in their hearts.Murong Danyan was even more annoyed, secretly regretting that he shouldn't have asked, and was ridiculed by this person for no reason.

Situ Qiao pointed to the stone wall of the cave and said, "Everyone, why not take a look at this stone wall. Under the light of the torch, naturally there is nothing weird about it. At first glance, it seems to be extremely smooth."

Holding the torch while talking, he passed slowly in front of the stone wall, and said: "See? When the light shines, the unevenness can be revealed. I was in the main hall of the Dabaoen Temple that day. It was because the light of the torch could not move, which caused the shadow of the statue to sway on the wall, so it was discovered that there was a door hidden in the wall."

Everyone half-understood what they heard, but watching the torch in Situ Qiao's hand swaying in front of the stone wall, they could indeed see that there were some protrusions or depressions on the stone wall. It seemed that this person was not speaking outrageous words, so no one said anything. refute.

Situ Qiao stopped, and then said: "I saw that there was a trace of a door on the wall, and I was both surprised and happy. At the moment of life and death, where would there be a moment of hesitation? He gritted his teeth and walked over quickly , stretched out my hands, and groped carefully on the wall. When I put my palms on the wall where the 'door' is, I felt a coolness, which was completely different from other walls, and I believed that there must be something here. eccentric……."

When Murong Danyan heard this, he originally wanted to ask him why he felt the wall was cool, so he could assume it was weird.Just thinking about it, if he asked a question, Situ Qiao would be even more proud, and would only laugh at his shallow knowledge, so he held back.Standing beside her, Li Qiufeng saw that Murong Danyan opened his mouth but did not speak, with a look of resignation on his face, guessing her thoughts, whispered in her ear: "If there is someone behind the wall The secret door must be cold inside, so the wall at the door is naturally cooler than the solid wall."

Only then was Murong Danyan relieved, and smiled gratefully at Li Qiufeng.But Li Qiufeng turned his head away, his eyes still fixed on Situ Qiao.

Situ Qiao said: "I was standing in front of the gate, and only then did I realize that after I entered the hall, I always felt that something was wrong. This is the reason. Before I entered the hall, I hid behind a hall and looked at this hall It is very clear. I remember that the length and width of this hall are almost equal, and it is a very regular square. But when you enter the hall, the inside is empty, and nine huge columns are arranged from west to east, making the whole hall look narrow from north to south, and from east to west. In terms of appearance, the inside of the hall should also be square. Therefore, after I entered the hall, I always felt that the situation inside the hall was a bit strange, but I have not confirmed whether it is really weird. I will not know until I judge that there is a secret door on the wall When the main hall was built, someone built a white wall in the middle of the inside of the main hall, dividing the main hall into two parts. The first half is dedicated to the statue, and there are nine huge round pillars. The second half is hidden in the Behind the white wall, I don't know what's inside.

"I tried to find the mechanism to open the hidden door on the wall, but I groped for a long time, but found nothing. Then I searched carefully on the ground. The ground was paved with large gold bricks, and the brick surface was paved with gold bricks. There is a thick layer of dust, and it has not been cleaned for a long time. I searched for a long time, but found nothing.

"When I looked back along the ground, I accidentally found that the faint secret door was facing the back of the statue. My heart couldn't help but I hurried to the back of the statue. At this time, the monks had been clamoring outside the hall, and I didn’t rush into the main hall, so I was a little relieved, and I wanted to hide behind the statue. Even if I turned on the fire switch, the fire light would be blocked by the statue, and the monks outside the hall would definitely not be able to find it. So I lightly turned on the fire switch, Then he searched behind the statue.

"Sure enough, under the light of Huozhezi, I saw two golden jade belts hanging from the back of the statue, and a gold ring was tied at the bottom of each jade belt. I tried to pull the gold ring on the left first, but it didn't work. There was no abnormality at all, so I pulled the gold ring on the right again, the jade belt and the gold ring were still motionless. I was a little frustrated, paused for a moment, and a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, so I held a gold ring with both hands, and pushed towards the Next pull. This time the two jade belts were pulled down by me, and at the same time I heard a few abnormal noises behind me. I hurriedly turned my head to look, but saw a white stone gate slowly rising on the white wall behind me. , Moments later, a dark portal appeared on the white wall.

"I saw that the secret door was finally opened by me. I was really surprised and happy. As soon as I loosened my hands, the two jade belts slowly rose up. But at the same time as the jade belts rose, the top of the door also slowly slid down. A white stone slab. I hurried over with big strides, held the torch in front of me, and shot into the secret door.

"By the dim light of the fire zhezi, I found that there is a corridor inside the secret door. However, the range that the fire zhezi can illuminate is really limited, and I can't judge the length and shape of the corridor. I hesitated a little, wondering if I should Stepping into this corridor. At this moment, the old monk who had been talking nonsense outside the hall suddenly stopped, and then there was silence outside the hall. My heart trembled, and I wondered if the mechanism in this hall is so powerful , as soon as the secret door on the wall was opened, did the monks outside the hall know about it?

"A moment later, there was only a sound of chaotic footsteps, and the monk Hongjing said: 'Master Shi, you are finally here!' My heart trembled, and I thought to myself, how could an official come here in the middle of the night? Then I heard a rough voice saying: "Has anyone entered the hall?" Monk Hongjing said: "I want to teach you to know. We can't judge whether someone has entered the hall. It's just that the mechanism of this hall has been destroyed. The gate of the hall The nine-zinc chain lock on the door has also been opened. The nine-zie chain lock was built by the Hua family under the secret order of the Ministry of Industry. A total of [-] locks were built, and one was replaced every ten years. The key was handed over to Jinyiwei Nanzhen Fusi Qianhu was in charge. When our temple was built, there was a secret decree that the monks of our temple must never enter the main hall. Those who violated it will be beheaded and punish the nine clans. The night patrol monks of our temple are patrolling the gate of the temple. Although they can close the door of the main hall However, it was impossible to open the nine chain locks. It was only tonight that the mechanism had been destroyed and the nine chain locks had been opened. As for whether someone entered the hall, the poor monk did not dare to jump to conclusions, so he reported to the presiding brother , Send people to report to the Nanjing Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Commander of Xiaoling Guard, please come and deal with this matter.'

"After listening to the old monk's explanation, I finally understood why the monks didn't dare to rush into the temple to search even though they knew that the organ had been cracked and the chain lock of nine sons was opened. It turned out that when Zhu Di built the Dabaoen Temple, The hall has been handed over to Jin Yiwei, and the monks in the temple cannot enter the hall. That monk Hongjing is indeed extremely cunning. Although he doesn't know if there is anyone in the hall, he uses some grandiose words to fool me. On the one hand, he wants to trick me out of the hall. The main hall, on the other hand, is to buy time so that the government can report to the government, and the government will send someone to handle the matter. This old monk is so treacherous, and it is too condescending to be a deacon monk. If he takes off this monk's robe and puts on an official robe, You must be prosperous and prosperous, and your wealth is limitless.

"I was thinking about it, but I heard Master Shi say: 'Have the people from Xiaoling Guard arrived yet? It will take a while to arrive...'

"I was taken aback when I heard Monk Hongjing mention the word Xiaolingwei. I have only been walking in the world for three years. In addition to my liking for construction techniques and organ techniques, I am also interested in geomancy and wind techniques. I once heard a famous sorcerer in Henan say that nine out of ten masters who are proficient in geomancy work in Xiaolingwei. I can't afford to offend. Hearing that Xiao Lingwei will also send people to come, I feel a chill in my heart.

"At this time, the white stone gate has dropped to the middle of the secret gate. If you don't want to enter again, you have to pull the two jade belts again. I was hesitating when I heard Master Shi outside the palace gate say: 'People from Xiaolingwei If you don’t come, it’s inconvenient for our Ministry of Punishment to go into the hall to investigate alone. Come, surround this hall, if anyone wants to rush out of the hall, shoot and kill!’

"I know that this is an extremely urgent moment, and there is no room for hesitation. So I reached out and took off the robe on my body, and waved the robe to stir up the dust on the ground, until all my footprints were wiped away. Without a trace, I turned around. At this time, the white stone gate was less than three feet away from the ground. I jumped up and went straight in from under the stone gate. When I entered the tunnel, I felt a blackness in front of my eyes. However, the fire in his hand had already been extinguished, and the surrounding area immediately became dark. Then there was a soft "click" sound behind him, and the white stone door had fallen to the bottom, separating the corridor from the main hall. It’s bright, and it’s pitch black.”
