A knife in love

Chapter 385

When Situ Qiao said this, he imitated Monk Hongdao's tone, his voice was high-pitched and thin, which was extremely strange to his ears.Everyone was startled, seeing the flames on the torches rising and dancing, reflecting the figures of the people on the stone walls on both sides and shaking, so they felt a little fear in their hearts.

Hearing Situ Qiao's voice, Murong Danyan felt that the roots of his hair were going to explode.His body shook slightly, and he involuntarily moved half a step towards Li Qiufeng.

Situ Qiao continued: "I heard monk Hongdao's voice changed drastically, and my heart trembled. Since this old monk entered the secret room, although he didn't speak much, his voice was hoarse and low, not so sharp. Could it be that he has practiced martial arts to the extreme level? , Can even the voice change? I was wondering, but I saw Monk Hongdao looked at the mummy, his face changed drastically, he stepped back a few steps, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you are already dead... ...'

"His voice is still extremely sharp. I thought to myself, so this is his real voice. The hoarse voice is just a disguise. Since this old monk is the abbot of Dabaoen Temple, he speaks every day. There must be a lot. How difficult is it to cover up your original voice? Besides, this old guy is eight or ninety years old, and he should have been in this Dabaoen Temple for at least decades. Over the years, he has spoken in a false voice every day. This perseverance alone is already very remarkable. It seems that this old monk is not as stupid as he looks, and he must have great plans. Just now he said that Zheng He forced him to guard the secrets of Dabaoen Temple here, Nine times out of ten it is true.

"At this time, there was no blood mist rising from the mummy, but the monk Hongdao looked at the mummy, but it was like seeing a ghost. He didn't even take a few steps back, and even trembled. When he first saw the mummy At that time, because he was standing and the mummy was sitting cross-legged on the ground, he was staring at the mummy in a posture of looking down. However, after he took a few steps back, his face slowly lifted up, as if looking at the mummy. There is a person in front of him who is slowly standing up from a sitting position.

"I heard monk Hongdao say such a sentence, and looking at his appearance, I just felt a chill rushing from my feet to the top of my head. From the behavior of monk Hongdao, it seemed that the mummy had stood up and was approaching him. It’s just that I stared at the mummy and just saw his profile. The mummy is still sitting stiffly on the ground, and it hasn’t changed at all from before. I just don’t know why Monk Hongdao looks like he’s seen a ghost, not only backwards Counting steps, and shaking like a sieve.

"Monk Hongdao looked terrified and said to the mummy in a trembling voice: 'I, I didn't come in on purpose... Hongjing followed a secret order and hid in Dabaoen Temple for decades. I did it for...you said , except for the emperor, whoever enters this secret room is not allowed to leave alive...'

"I heard him mumbling non-stop, as if he was explaining and begging for mercy. But the mummy was clearly just sitting on the ground, but Monk Hongdao looked like the mummy was standing in front of him, I am looking at him coldly. I know that something extremely strange must have happened in this secret room, but I am in a dark compartment, and the range I can see is limited. I don’t know what Monk Hongdao saw. A martial arts master and an eminent monk were so frightened.

"Seeing that Monk Hongdao couldn't stop backing up, he finally retreated to the far left end of the altar, and the mummy was sitting on the far right end of the altar. Rubbed his eyes, then stretched his neck and looked at the mummy. He had a strange expression on his face, as if he had seen something extremely strange. After a while, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes again, turning his head from side to side After a few moments, he seemed to want to wake himself up. After a while, his originally terrified expression gradually became dazed. Although his body no longer trembled, he still didn't dare to take a step forward.

"I saw this old monk behaving so weirdly, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of making a noise and being noticed by this old monk, I was afraid that the end would be worse than that of Wei Qianhu and Hongjing. I just looked at Monk Hongdao I was shocked and terrified in my heart. I just hope that this old guy will not go crazy in this secret room, and leave the secret room as soon as possible, so that I can slip away.

"Suddenly I heard Monk Hongdao let out an extremely strange laugh, which sounded like a rooster crowing, with a rapid and sharp voice. I saw him pointing at the mummy with distorted muscles on his face. Although he laughed, more It seemed to be calling for help. After the strange laughter stopped, monk Hongdao said sharply: "I should have thought that the Udumbara flower was playing tricks. When you found this ghost flower on the Sulu Island , ecstatic, once told me the benefits of this flower. I never thought that after you died, you would use this ghost flower to kill people. Okay, okay, Mr. Zheng, I really admire you!'

"I heard what he said about the Udumbara flower in the secret compartment, but I didn't know what it was. I just heard from Monk Hongdao that this flower was obtained by Zheng He on overseas islands when he led the treasure ship fleet to sea. Zheng He He was ecstatic after getting this flower, and naturally regarded it as a rare treasure. I am afraid that the poisonous powder on Zheng He's body came from this Udumbara flower from overseas.

"I just heard Monk Hongdao say: 'I entered the palace at the age of seven, and soon I was by your side. Without you, I would have died in the dark palace. But with you, although I survived, But life is worse than death, and I can’t see the light in this life. I hide in the Zen room every day, and only after dark can I walk around the temple like a ghost. Dabao’en Temple has always been haunted by ghosts, and some say It was the former Mongolian princess who was hanged in the temple. Some said that the three daughters threw themselves into the well during the war. The abbot of the temple, do you think it’s funny or not? In the past 80 years, I have been guarding the Dabaoen Temple and this hall for you like a walking dead. I have been waiting for the emperor, the prince, and the jade statue Like the guy. But waited for 80 years, but no one has ever come. Haha, haha!'

"I listened to the old monk's sharp voice, and the more I listened, the more frightened I became, and the more I listened, the more frightened I became. I vaguely guessed the origin of the monk Hongdao. Afterwards, my body trembled again, and my heart was terrified. Although this old monk is crazy, his martial arts and scheming are extremely powerful. If he accidentally finds out, he will end up like Wei Qianhu and Hongjing monks.

"Fortunately, after Monk Hongdao went crazy for a while, he suddenly stopped his voice and changed back to the old monk who was dying. I saw him clasping his hands together and chanting 'Amitabha', and his voice changed back to the original one. He was as hoarse as he was. He said to the mummy, "Master Zheng, it has been 80 years and I don't need to worry about him anymore. I meditate in the meditation room every day, but it's not all for nothing. Although You can't throw away all your obsessions, but you can gradually calm down. Life is like when this Udumbara flower is in full bloom. When it blooms, it is extremely beautiful, but it fades in an instant. Mr. Zheng, although you are one of the Jie, many things are beyond your control. You let me live like a walking dead for 80 years. You have been able to let go of the grievances and hatreds, but you still can’t. Even if you go thousands of miles overseas and want to go to a comfortable place, you are still in the cage all the time, even if you know that you are about to die, you have to rush back. Enter this secret room alone, and be buried with the woman who didn’t even know where she went. During these eight or ninety years, you sat alone in this secret room, don’t you want to go back to your hometown? You practiced You have become invincible in martial arts, but even though the woman who trapped you here is powerless, you will never be able to defeat him. Your martial arts are superb, and you have a cloud of fierce generals, but what is the use? '

"Monk Hongdao shook his head when he said this, and then said: 'Seeing you again today, my wish has been fulfilled. After I walk out of this hall, I am no longer a walking dead. It's just that you still have to sit here. , waiting for the one who will never come. I want to go back to my hometown and see my parents. Their graves are probably still there.'

"I watched Monk Hongdao put his hands together, bowed to the mummy, and was still chanting something, presumably he was reciting scriptures such as 'rebirth mantra' secretly, praying for the mummy. After a while, he stood up straight , slowly moving to the left. I was secretly surprised. Hearing the old monk’s tone, it seemed that he was about to leave the secret room. But if he wanted to go out, why didn’t he go directly to the entrance of the corridor, but why he wanted to walk towards the wall? move?

"Just watched for a while, and I suddenly realized that he didn't want to get close to the mummy. At that time, he was standing at the leftmost end of the altar, and the mummy was sitting on the right side of the altar. In the middle of the mummy. Judging from the behavior of the old monk, he was afraid that he would get too close to the mummy, so he planned to walk to the wall on the side of the corridor first, then walk close to the wall to the entrance of the corridor, and then slip away.

"I saw that the old monk was so afraid of the mummy, and he looked crazy just now. He must have seen something extremely terrifying. But at this moment, I knew that the old monk wanted to leave the secret room, which was just what I wanted, so I threw all other things away. The back of my head. I only hope that this old guy will get out of here quickly, so that I can get out of this secret compartment and find a way out.

"After Monk Hongdao approached the wall, he walked close to the entrance of the corridor. I thought to myself, you old guy is very good at martial arts, and you can reach the entrance of the corridor with a single leap. Moving towards the entrance step by step? I saw that the closer Monk Hongdao got to the entrance, the more nervous his face became. He kept turning his gaze away from the direction of the mummy. It seemed that the mummy was staring at him, ready to attack him at any moment. kill.

"I watched Monk Hongdao approaching the corridor step by step, and I felt like a heart was about to jump out of his chest. I wished I could kick him behind him so that he could leave the secret room as soon as possible. Seeing him slowly move into the corridor At the entrance, the old monk's face finally relaxed, and I also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to myself that as long as he leaves the secret room, I will have a chance to escape.

"Monk Hongdao is standing at the entrance, raising his leg and going out of the secret room. However, when he raised his leg, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the mummy, as if he wanted to say goodbye to the mummy. Unexpectedly, he turned his head Afterwards, a look of extreme fear suddenly appeared on his face, and then his body flew into the air and flew towards the mummy. It was as if an invisible arm stretched out from the air, lifting him up from the entrance of the tunnel, Then he threw it at the mummy."
