A knife in love

Chapter 581

Seeing Situ Qiao's complacent appearance, Li Qiufeng was disgusted and thought to himself: "Whatever monster he is, it has nothing to do with us. If we have to rest for one night and send Miss Huang to Wuji Temple tomorrow, it will be considered a great success." So he said in a deep voice: "Although this Shengyi Hall is empty, it has no doors and windows, so it cannot withstand the severe cold. Let's go to the back and see if there is a better place to live."

After he finished speaking, Huijing and others applauded.These nuns have been ridiculed by Situ Qiao repeatedly, and they don't want to be angry with him.Hearing what Li Qiufeng said at this moment, they all wanted to follow him to the rear of the palace.Huijing also said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, since you are so curious about this palace, you might as well stay here tonight, study it carefully, and maybe find something else."

Huiming and several other nuns also spoke in agreement.Situ Qiao naturally knew that these nuns were up to no good, rolled his eyes strangely, and wanted to retort.It's just that he accidentally saw Li Qiufeng looking at him coldly, and his heart shuddered, so he had no choice but to swallow back a few harsh words that came to his lips.

Li Qiufeng ignored him, turned around and walked around the statue, but saw that the back door of the hall was open, only one of the two hall doors was left, and the other door had fallen to the ground and became shattered.Li Qiufeng walked out the back door first, but saw another courtyard in front of him.This courtyard is much smaller than the front yard, there are no side rooms on the left and right, but there is a hall in the middle.This hall is smaller than Shengyi Hall, but it also has no doors or windows.When everyone arrived in front of the hall, they saw the three characters "Hall of Filial Piety" written on the plaque on the door of the hall.

Both Li Qiufeng and Yuanjue had read the Book of Changes, so they were naturally familiar with the deeds of King Wen of Zhou.Seeing the three big characters "Hall of Filial Piety", both of them thought in their hearts: "It really is the Temple of King Wen. There should be such a hall in the first place."

Huijing and the others didn't know about Zhou Wenwang's deeds, and when they saw this palace, they couldn't help feeling suspicious.Huiming said: "This Wenwang Temple is dedicated to a prince, why build a temple for a filial son? Could it be that this prince has benefited from this filial son and built a temple here to worship him?"

Yuan Jue knew that these young disciples were indeed as Situ Qiao said, they had limited knowledge, they didn't know the deeds of King Wen of Zhou, and they didn't know the origin of the Hall of Filial Sons, and it was indeed not inconceivable.It's just that he didn't want to explain at this time, so he walked into the hall of filial piety silently.When all the nuns saw Yuanjue walking into the hall, they also followed in.

Although this hall is also very spacious, it is much neater than Shengyi Hall.Although there was dust on the ground in the hall, there was not much of it.The altar in front of the statue is still placed as it is, and it is not dilapidated.It's just that the statue enshrined behind the altar has lost its head, leaving only the body in robes.The statue held Yugui in both hands in front of him, as if a minister was going to court.

Yuanjue looked at the headless statue, clasped his hands together, and silently recited scriptures.When all the nuns saw Master chanting sutras in front of this headless statue, they were surprised, wondering why Master was so solemn in front of this headless statue.Li Qiufeng stood aside, but there was a hint of unbearable expression on his face.Huang Xu observed Li Qiufeng secretly from time to time, and saw that his expression was different, he couldn't help but think to himself: "This statue has lost its head, so I don't know what it looks like. It's just that Master and Li Daxia both looked sad when they came here. Could it be that The people enshrined in the Hall of Filial Sons have suffered so much that it makes people feel pity?"

After Yuanjue finished reciting the rebirth mantra, he slowly raised his head, looked at the headless statue, sighed, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Although this hall is a little tidy, it just has no doors or windows. Then go to the third yard and have a look."

Li Qiufeng nodded and said yes, the group bypassed the headless statue and passed through the back door, but this time they came to a huge courtyard.This yard is bigger than the front yard, and the yard is paved with stone slabs, so there are very few grasses and it looks very neat.It's just that the left and right wing rooms are only left with broken walls and a piece of scorched black, which turned out to be so burnt.But the main hall is intact, even the windows and the hall door are intact.

Huijing and other young nuns saw that the main hall was complete with doors and windows, couldn't help cheering, and ran towards the main hall one after another.Yuan Jue smiled slightly, and said to Li Qiufeng: "These girls are still young and innocent, and they will make Hero Li laugh."

Li Qiufeng said: "Your junior dare not. Masters have worked so hard all the way. It is human nature to look like this at this moment. How dare this junior be disrespectful?"

Before he finished speaking, Huijing and the others suddenly heard screams.Li Qiufeng and Yuanjue were startled, they turned their heads to look, only to see that the nuns who had already run to the front of the main hall retreated back.Li Qiufeng knew something was wrong, with a touch of his right foot, he soared into the sky like a big bird, and flew straight towards the hall.Yuanjue originally wanted to rush to help, but with a thought in his mind, Li Qiufeng flew out by himself.Yuanjue's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "This hero is not only good at martial arts, but also has extremely fast reactions. I'm afraid that the Twelve Fairies of Wuji Temple may not be able to defeat him. I have also heard of famous people in the Jianghu. I have traveled a lot, but I have never heard of such a young martial arts master. Fortunately, he was with me on this journey, so many troubles were avoided."

At this time, the nuns had retreated to the center of the courtyard in a panic, and Li Qiufeng landed in front of the nuns after a few ups and downs.Huijing felt relieved when she saw Li Qiufeng arrived.Li Qiufeng stood in the middle of the courtyard with uneven feet, guarding all the nuns behind him, staring at the main hall with his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Masters, what happened?"

Huijing said tremblingly, "On the door of the main hall, there are two handprints..."

Li Qiufeng was startled, but he still didn't look back, and said: "Maybe it's because no one has been here for many years, and there is a lot of dust on the door of the temple. It's not surprising that someone accidentally pushed the door of the temple and left fingerprints."

Huiming said tremblingly, "It's not a human's handprint, but a monster's handprint, and, moreover, that handprint is not printed on dust, but looks like, it's a bloody handprint..."

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of the wind above his head, and a figure flew past his head and rushed towards the gate of the main hall.

Li Qiufeng raised his palms to protect his chest, but he saw that the figure looked like a ghost, and he had already arrived in front of the main hall, and the figure behind him was Situ Qiao.I saw that Situ Qiao came to the gate of the main hall, first raised his head to look at the gate, then strode up the stone steps to the gate of the hall, then stood still, as if carefully watching something on the gate.

At this time Yuanjue also chased after him, and said to Li Qiufeng in a low voice: "Hero Li, what do you think Mr. Situ is doing?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Master and all the masters are waiting here for the younger generation to go and have a look."

After he finished speaking, he strode towards the main hall.It was late at this time, but the sky was full of stars, so it wasn't too dark.When Li Qiufeng reached the bottom of the stone steps in front of the main hall, he saw Situ Qiao turned around and said to Li Qiufeng, "Brother Li, come and see the gate of this hall, it's really weird."

Li Qiufeng strode up the stone steps, only to find that there were two seals affixed to the gate of the palace, with the seal of Xiuwu County Yamen on the seals.It's just that over time, the color of the big seal has turned black.What's even weirder is that there is a handprint printed in the middle of the two seals.This handprint is much larger than the palm of an ordinary person, but the palm print is very clear, judging from the color, it really looks like a bloody handprint.It's just that as time passed, the palm prints changed from red to jet black.

Only then did Li Qiufeng realize that Fangcai Huijing and the others didn't make it clear in their panic. They only said that there were bloody handprints on the palace door, but they didn't say that there was a seal on the palace door, which made him mistaken.He leaned closer to the seal to look carefully, then sniffed the two handprints lightly, then nodded, and said to Situ Qiao: "These two handprints are indeed printed with blood. I don't know who is there There are tricks here. Since he has the guts to imprint his fingerprints on the official seal, why doesn't he tear the seal off?"

Situ Qiao chuckled, and said, "Perhaps the person who made this handprint intentionally left this seal, so as to frighten those who come later not to enter."

After Situ Qiao finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right foot, and only heard a "bang", he kicked open the hall door.Li Qiufeng was startled, thinking why this person was so abrupt.But Situ Qiao said: "Since some people don't want us to go in, we have to go in and have a look."

After he finished speaking, he flicked his right hand, and the torch in his hand flew straight into the hall.With the light of Huozhezi, Li Qiufeng had already seen the three big characters "Xishin Palace" written on the plaque on the gate of the palace.Looking at the center of the hall, there seemed to be a tall statue of a god, but after the torch flew into the hall, it immediately fell to the ground, so I couldn't see what the statue looked like.

Li Qiufeng also took out a fire pocket and shook it, then walked into the hall.With the light of the Huozhezi, one can see that the hall is extremely spacious.In the center of the main hall is a statue of a god more than two feet high.Wearing a crown and a yellow brocade robe, the idol sits on a high platform with his hands on his knees.The statue's face is fair and clean, with three long beards floating on its chest, which is very expressive.

It's just that when Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao saw this statue, their hearts trembled, and they couldn't help but took a step back.

I saw that the face of the idol was covered with black spots, and there was a lot of dirt on the yellow robe.Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao are both people in the Jianghu, so it is natural to see that the black spots on the statue's face and the dirt on the robes are bloodstains.There was nothing on the altar in front of the statue, but there were many traces of knives and swords.I don't know how long the hall has been closed. At this time, there is a strong fishy and earthy smell in the nose.

The two stood there in a daze for a while, and then Situ Qiao picked up the fire folder that had just been thrown into the hall from the ground, and after re-shaking it, he held the fire folder and walked around the Xinxin Hall.Although the hall was extremely spacious, it was empty except for the statue of the god and the altar.The inside of the hall is very clean, and after the door of this hall was closed, it never opened again.

Situ Qiao walked back to the altar and saw that Li Qiufeng was staring at the statue in a daze, so he said in a low voice: "It seems that there was a fierce battle in this temple. One of the two fighting with a sword and the other with a sword. Except Outside the statue and altar, there are still many traces of sword cuts on the surrounding walls and pillars, and there are also several marks of fist punches. I see that these two people are very skilled in martial arts, but I don’t know who will win in the end Who loses."
