A knife in love

Chapter 599

Before Situqiao could speak, Yuanjue was taken aback and said in a trembling voice, "A fish that eats people? This, how is this possible..."

Li Qiufeng said: "Master, when he was watching Wuji, have you ever heard of any strange things happening in this pool?"

Yuanjue frowned and thought about it for a while, then said: "I've never heard of such a strange thing. Because of the great war more than a hundred years ago, not only the major gangs in the Jianghu knew that this pool was weird, even the disciples of Wuji Temple were also aware of it. This water pool should be kept at a respectful distance. Because no one dares to approach the water pool, even if something strange happens, we don’t know about it.”

Li Qiufeng nodded, and Yuanjue went on to say: "After that battle, Wuji Temple was severely injured, but the masters and celebrities were all gone. It's just that after this battle, Shaolin, Wudang, Huashan, Taishan and other famous sects came to the martial arts gangs They said hello. The righteous way of martial arts was able to overthrow the Demon Cult in one fell swoop, and Wuji Guan made great efforts and sacrificed a lot. Therefore, if anyone wants to harm Wuji Guan in the future, he will be a public enemy of martial arts, and all sects must go all out to help without delay. With the support of Shaolin and Wudang sects, no one would dare to offend Wuji Temple openly. If Wuji Temple was not where Kun Dao practiced, it would have been ranked among the top ten martial arts sects. Just like Yongtai Temple, if it were not for The nunnery will definitely not rank lower than the Mount Tai sect in the martial arts world."

Situ Qiao laughed and said: "In this way, although Wuji Temple suffered heavy casualties, the gains outweigh the losses."

Yuanjue Heshi said: "Fame and wealth are things outside of the body. The past masters of the Wuji Temple are all Taoist real people with great wisdom. If you think about it, you won't care about these vulgar things. Let's go to the Wuji Temple as soon as possible, so as not to delay the big event. Li Daxia , what do you think?"

Although Li Qiufeng still had doubts about the pool, he thought about it, the strange fish in the pool had nothing to do with him, so he had to send Huang Xu to Wuji Temple as soon as possible so that he could return to Luoyang.Thinking of this, he stopped hesitating and said to Yuanjue: "But according to Master's instructions."

Yuanjue led the crowd away from the pool, and walked straight to the cliff on the left.From a distance, the cliff looks like a huge screen, and the peak behind the cliff can be seen on the top of the cliff at the beginning.It's just that the closer you get, the more you can see the cliffs in front of you, and you can't see the winding mountains behind you anymore.

When they got to the bottom of the cliff, they saw a cave with a width of Zhang Xu on the rock wall. There was a thatched hut on the right side of the cave, and there were two female Taoist priests in their 40s sitting in it, talking in a low voice.Seeing the crowd approaching, the two hurried out of the hut and stopped in front of the crowd.

Yuanjue clasped his hands together, and said: "Amitabha Buddha. The poor monk came from Kule Temple, and asked to see the Master Yunxuan, the master of Wuji Temple. I would like to ask the two priests to report on your behalf. The poor monk is very grateful."

The Taoist priest on the left nodded, and said: "Master Uncle Yunxuan has already ordered, if Master Yuanjue from Kule Temple comes, please go to Wuji Temple. Master and everyone, please wait here. Let’s go and inform the fellow sect on the top of the cliff.”

Yuanjue thanked him, but saw the Taoist priest walk to a big tree next to the entrance of the cave, grab a rope hanging from the tree and gently tug a few times.After a while, she let go of the rope and came back, and said to Yuanjue: "Pindao has notified the fellow disciples at the top of the cliff, please go up this cave, master."

At this time, another Taoist priest had brought five torches, Huiqing waited for the nun to thank her, and then took the torches in his hands.The Taoist priest brought Yuanjue and others to the entrance of the cave, and stretched out his right hand as a gesture of invitation.Yuanjue put his hands together, thanked him, took a lit torch from Huiqing, and led everyone into the cave.

The cave is about Zhang Xu in width and height, and the walls of the cave are very smooth.The stone cave twists and turns from left to right, winding upwards, each section has [-] or [-] stone steps, and then there is a small platform, which then bends obliquely to the other direction.Everyone walked up for thirty or forty feet, but they heard Situ Qiao say: "This cave is so neatly repaired, the Demon Cult can dig such a passage in two days and one night, the strength is really amazing."

Yuanjue said in a deep voice: "It's not entirely true. It is indeed a remarkable thing that the Demon Cult dug such a cave back then. It's just that it was not so smooth back then. In the past 200 years, the Wuji Temple also took a lot of money. A lot of silver taels have been used to continuously repair the cave."

When she said this, she paused for a while, and then continued: "When the poor monk was in Wuji Temple, every year in the temple, stonemasons were invited to repair the cave. Sometimes court officials went to Yuntai Mountain to play, but they would Passing through this cave, they will send people to help repair it. Although Wuji Temple is a well-known and upright school, it dare not offend the government."

Although this cliff is not more than a hundred feet high, the cave is built within the rock wall and zigzags upwards. Calculated by the distance, it is several times longer than the straight up and down road.So standing at the bottom of the cliff, it seems that the top of the cliff is only a hundred feet away, but just walking all the way, it has traveled more than two miles.When everyone saw the light coming in from the entrance of the cave, everyone was sweating profusely.

Seeing that everyone was about to leave the cave, they saw figures flickering at the entrance of the cave, and then someone asked, "Is Master Yuanjue, the abbot of Kule Temple, here?"

Yuanjue stopped, and said respectfully: "Poor monk Yuanjue, come to Wuji Temple to pay respects to the master Yunxuan, the master of the temple, please report it on your behalf."

The man said loudly: "We have received the news from the temple, please go directly to the Wuji Temple after the master leaves the cave."

Yuanjue led the crowd out of the cave entrance, and saw a dozen female Taoist priests standing tall and short at the cave entrance.In addition, there are several stone piles around the entrance of the cave, and there are hundreds of large stones.Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "The inside of this stone cave is winding and winding. Although it is as wide as Zhang Xu, it is not considered wide. If these Taoist priests guard the entrance of the cave and throw stones down from the entrance of the cave, walking in the cave It is extremely difficult for everyone to dodge, they have to be smashed into meat paste. Wuji Temple did not set up a defense line in the water pool, but guarded the entrance of this stone cave, but there is no flaw."

The top of the cliff is extremely wide, five or six feet away from the entrance of the cave, but there is also a thatched shed, but this shed is several times larger than the one at the bottom of the cliff.The pillars of the thatched shed are shiny and shiny, obviously they have been caressed by countless people.The leading female Taoist priest brought Yuanjue and others to the hut, and said to Yuanjue, "Wuji Temple is the place where the master used to travel. If you want to come and know the way, I will not send you off to the poor. Please go there on your own." That's right."

When she said this, she looked at Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao, frowned slightly, and said: "Since the master has lived in the temple, he also knows that the temple is the place where Kun Dao is practiced, and men have never been allowed to enter. These two If Mister wants to go to Wuji Temple, I'm afraid it will be a little inconvenient."

Yuanjue said: "These two benefactors just escorted us to this place. Not only these two gentlemen, but also the poor monk and these disciples, they will stop after arriving at the temple and will not step into the temple. Therefore, please ask the Taoist priest The two gentlemen are allowed to go to Wuji Temple with the poor monk."

The Taoist didn't say anything, just nodded.Yuanjue put his hands together, bowed slightly, asked Huiqing and others to hand over the torches to the Taoists, and then led them all the way to the north.After walking for tens of feet, he crossed the cliff top and walked down a stone step for more than ten feet. A deep stream appeared in front of him.Although Yuanjue has not set foot in Yuntai Mountain for decades, he is very familiar with it.She led everyone along the stone path to the northwest, and the deep stream was always winding on the right side of the stone path.I could hear the ding-dong sound when the mountain stream was flowing, and the journey was very enjoyable.

After walking for half an hour, a dull roar was faintly heard.Huijing's temper is the most active, but he encountered a strange danger on the bank of the pool, and was scratched by the monster in the pool on the top of his head. The pain was unbearable, so he had nothing to say all the way.When he came here, the wound was no longer painful, but his heart was not as frightened as it was at the beginning.Hearing the roaring sound, he couldn't help but said to Yuanjue: "Master, what is this sound?"

Yuanjue smiled slightly, and said, "Master won't tell you first, but after walking for a while, you will naturally understand."

Huijing thought to herself: "Master is easy-going, not as tempered as Brother Huiqing. But she never joked with us, so why is there a bit of teasing in her eyes now? Presumably she is quite familiar with this voice, It's really rare to have the heart to make a joke with us."

The crowd walked for another tens of feet, and the sound became louder and louder, and finally, it was already a loud "boom".Everyone was suspicious, they didn't know what happened, when they heard "Oops", it was Huiwen's foot that slipped and fell to the ground.Fortunately, when she fell to the ground, she supported herself on the ground with her right hand, so she didn't fall into a mess.

Only then did everyone realize that the stone path under their feet was covered with water droplets, so it was extremely slippery.Huiwen was the youngest and the weakest in martial arts, and his feet were unstable, so he fell down.But Huiqing said in surprise: "Ah, it's really strange, why is there so much water around?!"

It was already afternoon at this time, the sunlight in the mountain was thin, and there was a lot of water vapor all around.Li Qiufeng stretched out his hand, stopped in front of him for a moment, and when he retracted his hand again, he felt that his palm was wet and uncomfortable.Situ Qiao muttered behind him: "Damn it, if we walk dozens of steps, our clothes will be soaked. In this freezing season, don't we all freeze to death here?!"

Everyone knew that Situ Qiao never had good things to say, so they were not surprised. They heard him swearing, but no one paid any attention to him.

After everyone turned around a rock, a waterfall suddenly appeared in front of them.This waterfall flows straight down from a peak on the opposite side, which is more than a hundred feet high.The force of the falling water was extremely violent, and the water vapor in the pool at the bottom of the cliff was filled with water vapor, which spread in all directions.Although everyone is two to three hundred feet away from the waterfall, the water vapor has already drifted over.

Seeing the majestic waterfall, everyone was stunned, stopped involuntarily, and looked at the waterfall in silence.Just at this time, a ray of sunlight shines down from the gap between the peaks on the left, enveloping the middle part of the waterfall and the pool at the bottom of the cliff in the sunshine.After a while, a rainbow rose in front of everyone's eyes, which reflected the magical changes of the waterfall, making it magnificent and charming.

Yuanjue Heshi said: "Amitabha. This is the waterfall of Yuntai Mountain. The poor monk left Yuntai Mountain more than [-] years ago, and this is where he looked back at the waterfall for the last time. But the waterfall in front of him is still there. But things have changed and people have changed, as if in a lifetime."
