A knife in love

Chapter 671

Chief Du Li led the three of them into the main room.Sun Guangming and Su Yan have lived in this house before, but they are familiar with it.Li Qiufeng stepped over the threshold and looked around, but saw that after entering the house, there was a huge hall. In the middle of the hall hung a plaque with four characters "You Feng Lai Yi" written on it.It's just that no one cleaned it up for many years, and most of the gold paint on the plaque has peeled off.There should have been screens, tables and chairs under the plaque, but all of them have disappeared at this time.The whole hall was empty, but the square bricks on the floor were very clean. Someone cleaned it not long ago.There is an inner room on the left and right sides of the hall, which is naturally the bedroom of the family's inner house.

Chief Du Li ordered several villagers to move the two baskets on the donkey's back to the house.Su Yan hurriedly stopped the crowd, and said: "We can move these things into the house by ourselves, so we won't bother the elder brothers."

Du Lichang insisted on helping the three of them carry things, but Su Yan had no choice but to turn his head and look at Sun Guangming.Sun Guangming took out another ingot of silver from his pocket, handed it to Du Lichang and said, "We came in a hurry and didn't bring dry food with us, please trouble Du Lichang to buy some dried meat for us, thank you in advance. As for these luggage items, we can move them into the house by ourselves, and we don’t need your help.”

Du Lichang and several villagers were overjoyed when they saw that Sun Guangming gave another ingot of silver.Chief Du Li hurriedly agreed, took the silver, and said a few more polite words, then led the villagers away in a hurry.

After everyone left, Su Yan tied the horse and donkey to several stone pillars in the yard, while Li Qiufeng and Sun Guangming carried the two baskets on the donkey's back into the house.After Sun Guangming opened the cloth covering the basket, he saw strange objects such as ropes and iron rods in the basket.Li Qiufeng didn't know why Sun Guangming asked Su Yan to buy these things, and he was slightly surprised, but he didn't ask.

However, Su Yan took out a few pancakes from the bag, and took out a bag of cooked beef wrapped in oil paper, and distributed them to Sun Guangming and Li Qiufeng.It was already in the afternoon, and both of them were a little hungry, so they took the noodle beef and ate it with big mouthfuls.While eating, Li Qiufeng said, "Mr. Sun, since Miss Su is carrying dry food, why do you want Du Lichang to buy noodles and jerky for us?"

Sun Guangming said with a smile: "There are only thirty or forty people left in this village, most of whom are illiterate villagers. Only Du Lichang can read a few words, and he is a man of some scheming. If he stays In the village, I am afraid that I will come here from time to time to chatter, and it will always be a bit of a hindrance. I gave him a silver coin and asked him to buy some dry food, just to spend him. The land in this area is barren, and the villages are extremely poor. I am afraid that the villagers in each village have never seen the silver, so where can they find the silver to weigh the silver? Therefore, Chief Du Li will definitely go to Gaoping County to exchange the silver into scattered silver and copper coins. From here to It will take at least four or five hours for Gaoping County to come and go. After he enters the city to exchange broken silver and copper coins, the city gate must have been locked, and he will not be able to come back tonight. As long as this person is not in Tanikou Village, today At night, we can safely and boldly search around, and we will definitely find Situ Qiao's whereabouts."

Li Qiufeng heard that he had planned so carefully that even Du Lichang's whereabouts had already been calculated, and he thought to himself: "It seems that Sun Guangming has already planned every move of this trip. He said clearly that he wanted to track down Situ Qiao To retrieve the treasure map in the brocade box and the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra written by Master Xuanzang, there must be other schemes behind the scenes. What about the three artifacts, as well as the array and array, I am afraid that he used them all It’s just a blindfold. This person and Situ Qiao came to the Changping Ancient Battlefield at the same time, so there must be a huge conspiracy.”

Su Yan heard Li Qiufeng call her "Miss Su", and knew that Li Qiufeng had spotted Xingzang, but he didn't care.After Sun Guangming and Li Qiufeng finished eating the noodles and beef, she handed them water bags and said: "It is said that at night, the village of Taniguchi is the world of unjust souls, so after dark, the villagers will absolutely I don’t know how to walk around the village, but it’s convenient for us to do things. Let’s rest in the afternoon and look for Situ Qiao’s whereabouts after dark, and we will definitely find something.”

Sun Guangming and Li Qiufeng nodded in agreement when they heard what she said was reasonable.Su Yan lives alone in the inner room on the west side, while Sun Guangming and Li Qiufeng rest in the inner room on the east side.The tables, chairs and beds in these two inner rooms have long since disappeared, but some dry grass was placed in front of the windows to serve as beds.Although it is extremely simple, but fortunately the interior is cleaned very cleanly, but it will not make people disgusted.

The three of them went back to their houses to rest.When Li Qiufeng woke up, he saw that the sun was setting outside the window, and before he knew it, he had slept for more than two hours.This sleep was so sweet that I didn't even have a dream.After opening his eyes, he only felt that his limbs were extremely comfortable.In addition, I had a full meal before going to bed, and the exhaustion of the past few days has long since disappeared without a trace.

Li Qiufeng sat up gently, but Sun Guangming also opened his eyes and sat up too.He looked at the light and shadow outside the window, and said to Li Qiufeng: "I slept soundly this time. I haven't slept so well since I arrived in Luoyang."

Li Qiufeng said: "It's a miracle that you can sleep so peacefully on this ancient battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people died."

Sun Guangming said with a smile: "Hero Li is upright. He is not a young man who harbors evil intentions. Naturally, he can sleep peacefully. Only those treacherous villains with evil thoughts in their hearts will be suspicious of evil spirits. When they come here, they will naturally not be able to sleep well. .”

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "You hide a lot of undisclosed secrets in your heart, how can you sleep so peacefully?" But even though he thought this in his heart, his expression was as usual, and he chatted with Sun Guangming for a few words .But he heard footsteps in the hall, and then he heard Su Yan whispering in the hall: "Big brother, Li Daxia, are you awake?"

Sun Guangming agreed, and stood up together with Li Qiufeng.When the two of them walked into the hall, they saw that Su Yan had tidied up the things in the basket, and put the necessary items in two bags, but the basket was empty.

Sun Guangming took a burden and carried it on his back, and said to Su Yan: "It's really hard for you."

Su Yan put the other burden on his back, tightened it tightly, and said to Sun Guangming: "Brother, what did you say? Our big event is about to come true. I'm too happy to be happy."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Qiufeng, and then said: "Just now when Brother Li and Daxia Li were resting, I went to two villagers' houses to order paper money for incense candles. It's just that there are too many paper money for incense candles to be used this time. Although the inventory was swept away by me, it is still a little insufficient. I have sent the incense paper money that I can get today to Chitou Temple. The two families will make the remaining paper money overnight tonight, and it will be delivered tomorrow morning .”

Sun Guangming nodded and said, "Maybe it won't take so much. Let's see the situation tonight."

The three tidied up, and it was already pitch black outside.Su Yan lit all the candles in the hall and the two inner rooms, then he carried his burden and long sword, pushed open the door, and walked out first.Sun Guangming and Li Qiufeng followed out.When the three of them walked into the courtyard, they could only hear the cold wind blowing and the humming of the weeds that rolled up the roof, adding to the sense of desolation.

The three of them left the yard, Su Yan led the way and walked towards the southeast of the village.At this time, the surrounding area was pitch black, but Su Yan's feet didn't stop at all, he turned eastward and westward, and passed between the broken walls and ruins, trees and bushes.Li Qiufeng walked last, thinking to himself: "Su Yan walked so fast, she would have walked here once in the afternoon, and remembered this road very well. Even after she and Sun Guangming arrived at Taniguchi Village before, I have memorized the roads in this village in my heart. These two people have expended such painstaking efforts, and their scheme must be serious. Once the plan is revealed, it will definitely be a fierce battle."

The three of them walked for a stick of incense, but they had already passed through the houses in the village.There seemed to be a wasteland in front of me, covered with dead grass up to the knees, and it was very difficult to walk.Li Qiufeng glanced back inadvertently, and couldn't help being startled.

But in the darkness, there were only a few faint lights shaking slightly in the village not far behind the three of them, like a dying patient, looking at the three of them, with a little bit of pity and sadness in his eyes.There are neither stars nor moon in the night sky, but there seems to be a layer of hazy white light rising from behind the village.Under the white light, Taniguchi Village looks even weirder.

When Sun Guangming heard Li Qiufeng's footsteps suddenly stop behind him, he was terrified and turned his head to look in a hurry.Although it was dark all around, Li Qiufeng could vaguely see that Li Qiufeng had stopped and was looking back.Sun Guangming lowered his voice and asked, "Hero Li, what's wrong?"

Only then did Li Qiufeng turn around, walked quickly to Sun Guangming, and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, but there seems to be a layer of white light looming behind the village, which is very strange."

Sun Guangming smiled slightly and said: "To tell you the truth, when I first came to Taniguchi Village, I also felt that there was a ball of white light around the village. After staying for a few days, I never saw it again. I want to die here. There are too many, and the resentment is shrouded in the surroundings, which makes it seem extremely weird. After living here for a few days, you will see the strangeness."

When Li Qiufeng heard that he was talking about ghosts and gods again, he didn't take it seriously, so he walked forward.Sun Guangming knew that he didn't believe it, but he didn't say any more.Just now Su Yan noticed that the two people behind him stopped, so he also waited in place and did not move forward. Now seeing the two people following up, he continued to walk forward.

Li Qiufeng said to Sun Guangming as he walked, "Where is the Chitou Temple we are going to?"

Sun Guangming said: "There is a spring two miles southeast of Gukou Village, named Jishui. There is a shortage of water in Changping, and 45 Zhao troops were trapped here. The lack of food and grass is of course the main reason for the collapse of Zhao's army. The source of water is also another reason for the defeat of Zhao Jun. It is said that Zhao Kuo dug out this spring water himself, but how can this spring water supply 45 troops to drink? After the Changping War, this spring water remained Later generations built a Jidu Temple next to the spring to worship the god of water, as well as the soldiers of the Zhao army who died of thirst here. It is said that the god of water in this temple is extremely effective. More and more, besides the god of water, gods such as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, God of Eyes, God of Bull, and Wuwen were enshrined later. The people in this area think that Jidu Temple is a mouthful, so they call it Chitou Temple. It's a pity that when the Mongolian Yuan destroyed the Jin, the two sides fought here, and the Chitou Temple was destroyed by the fire, and now there are only broken walls and ruins, and there is no such thing as it used to be."
