A knife in love

Chapter 696

While everyone was talking, they had already arrived at the huge archway.I saw that the archway is more than three feet high and is built with white marble. There is a stone plaque hanging in the middle, with four characters "Eternal Liufang" written on it.The pen is strong and strong, which is obviously written by a famous master.

When Situ Qiao saw this archway, his complexion changed drastically, and he murmured, "It's strange, why is this yin building built on the ground..."

Li Qiufeng walked side by side with Situ Qiao, so even though Situ Qiao was muttering to himself, his voice was extremely low, but he could hear him clearly.Glancing at Situ Qiao, he said, "Mr. Situ, is there anything wrong with this archway?"

Situ Qiao was just wandering away from things, when he heard Li Qiufeng's question, he couldn't help shaking slightly.He looked up at the stone plaque, lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, this archway is not a thing in the yang world, but a yin building built in the mausoleum. Therefore, it is said that after passing this yin building, you will It is to enter the private house of the owner of the tomb. If you rush in without the owner's permission, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster..."

Li Qiufeng knew that magicians like Situ Qiao and Sun Guangming had always believed in the theory of ghosts and gods.Therefore, he was not surprised to see Situ Qiao's trembling appearance at this time.He looked at the archway carefully, and said: "This monument is just a bit taller, and it is no different from the stone archway we often see."

Situ Qiao shook his head, and said: "The stone archway in Yangjian, besides the central gate, has at least one small gate on the left and right sides. Some court-made archways have at most nine gates to show that they are awarded However, there is only one archway in the yin house, which is called the yin building. That is because the yin house is exclusive to the tomb owner after he left the yang world. Even if there are slaves who are buried, they can only prostrate Behind him. If there are small doors on the left and right, it will be regarded as a servant invading the main position, which is extremely disrespectful to the owner of the tomb. Brother Li, you might as well think about it. Among the archways you have seen in your life, there is such a Is there only one gate regulation?"

Li Qiufeng was stunned, frowned and thought for a moment, but he had never seen this kind of unique archway before, so he shook his head.Situ Qiao went on to say: "Most of the memorial archways in Yangjian have plaques, but most of the engraved words are to show that the courtiers are loyal to the emperor and patriotism, or to praise the chaste women for keeping the chastity, and to teach their children well, such as 'jie', 'filial piety', 'loyalty' The four characters "Yi" and "Yi" are the most common. However, the four characters "Wan Gu Liu Fang" are absolutely impossible to appear on the plaque of the Yangshi Memorial Archway. This is because these four characters are the final conclusion on a person, only Can be used on the dead..."

When Situ Qiao said this, Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Mr. Situ, what you said is a bit extreme. When Li was on duty in Jinyiwei, he would sometimes go to the East Factory to do business. On the north side of the Dongan Gate of the East Factory, the main entrance Facing the south, it is said that the door will never be opened unless the emperor is in person. Usually, when entering and leaving the East Factory, a small door in the southwest is used. The world does not know what is going on behind the main door, because they are afraid that the East Factory is like a tiger. All kinds of scary legends. However, by chance, Li once walked through the south gate of the East Factory with Yang Zhenzhong, the commander of Jin Yiwei. I remember that after entering the south gate, it was a huge hall. It is made of blue water stone and covered with blue tiles. The whole hall does not use any wood, and it looks extremely gloomy. This hall is the courtroom where the eunuchs of the East Factory handle their affairs, and it is rarely opened. There is another small hall on the left side of the main hall. There is a portrait of Yue Fei. At the back of the hall, there is a screen wall made of blue bricks. On the wall are carvings of strange beasts such as cunning and the story of Di Renjie breaking the tiger..."

Situ Qiao was taken aback, wondering why Li Qiufeng suddenly mentioned Dongchang.Seeing his astonishment, Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said: "I have gone too far, but this matter is related to Dongchang, so I have to say a few more words. There is an ancestral hall in the west of the hall, and there is a ancestral hall in it. The eunuch's position and name tablet was printed in the hands of Dongchang in the past dynasties. In front of this ancestral hall, a stone archway was built, and the plaque on the archway was engraved with the four characters of "Eternal Ancient Liufang". These four characters have an unusual origin. Zhu Di wrote it with his own hands. Mr. Situ, you said that the word 'Eternal Love' can't be written on the archway in Yangshi, you are wrong."

Situ Qiao said: "Brother Li, I'm afraid you've misunderstood this matter."

Li Qiufeng originally thought that he had presented the evidence, so Situ Qiao naturally had nothing to say. Unexpectedly, Situ Qiao not only was not convinced, but instead refuted him confidently.He was slightly taken aback, and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Situ Qiao said: "Although I have lived in the capital for a long time, I am just a commoner, so naturally I have no chance to go to Dongchang for a while."

When Situ Qiao said this, Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "That's because of your good fortune and the protection of the Hua family. Otherwise, if you have done so many cases, you would have been caught by Jinyiwei's spies and Dongchang. Fanzi is following you. When Fanzi will tie you up and lock you up in Dongchang’s prison, you will know what Dongchang looks like.”

Situ Qiao naturally didn't know what Li Qiufeng was thinking, and still said to himself: "It's just that I heard from Brother Li that the layout of the East Factory must have been built with the guidance of a feng shui expert when it was built. Killing the power will surely kill a lot of innocent souls. South belongs to fire, and if the innocent souls want to take revenge, they can use the fire to destroy the East Factory. To keep the house safe, it must be filled with water. The main hall facing the south gate It is built with Qingshui stone and does not use wood. It is to suppress the fire in the south. The southeast belongs to wood, which is easy to enter and exit, so a door is opened for daily entry and exit. There are strange beasts such as cunning appearance carved on the screen wall to scare away evil spirits. And that stone archway is the main entrance of the yin house. Dongchang enshrined the spiritual tablets of the previous eunuchs in the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall is the mausoleum of these great eunuchs. , what's so strange?"

At this point, Situ Qiao glanced at Li Qiufeng, sighed, and said, "The regulations in the East Factory may be the work of Yao Guangxiao back then. It's not an office, it's just a hell on earth. .”

When Li Qiufeng heard what Situ Qiao said, he couldn't help being startled.Looking back, every time I went to Dongchang to do business, I felt eerie.Even when the sun is shining, as soon as you step into the East Factory, you will feel chilly, as if there are people watching from everywhere.

Seeing that Li Qiufeng was thoughtful, Situ Qiao thought that he had already been persuaded by himself, and then said: "Someone built this yin building here, it must have a deep meaning. If we broke in, maybe we will step into it." If you want to escape from the trap, it may be more difficult than climbing to the sky."

While the two were talking, Yang Ye, Monk Xuanji, Sun Guangming, and Su Yan followed Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yansi through the archway and walked straight to the distance.Li Qiufeng said: "The theory of ghosts and gods is ultimately vague. Since Old General Yang and Mr. Sun have already entered, we have no choice but to make a breakthrough."

Situ Qiao was anxious, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, don't you understand? The Yang family and his son are characters from hundreds of years ago, how could they appear in front of us alive? They are not human beings, but ghosts. They want to kill us Bring them into the Netherworld, we must not go with them."

When he said this, he looked at the backs of the people who had already walked a hundred steps away, and then said: "Brother Li, we don't need to accompany them to die, we have to withdraw as soon as possible to have a chance of survival."

Li Qiufeng hummed, and said, "Mr. Situ, why didn't you say that just now?"

Situ Qiao saw Li Qiufeng's expression was not hesitant, and knew that he had doubts in his heart, so he gave a wry smile and said, "Brother Li, I know you look down on me and think I'm doing something wrong. Now that we've arrived at Changping Ancient Town Battlefield, I don’t need to hide it from you anymore. For more than ten years, I have been looking for the formation diagram of Zhuge’s legacy, and I want to use the power of the formation diagram to destroy Zhu Di’s descendants, for my family who died tragically at Zhu Di’s hands. The ancestor and the loyal minister of Emperor Jianwen took revenge. Overtly or secretly, he fought with Sun Guangming several times, but he never confronted him head-to-head. In the past two days, this person can be regarded as face-to-face. This person's ability is not inferior to mine , the ability of illusion is even better than mine. After the battle with Monk Xuanji, I admired him quite a lot. I thought that I would clear up the past with him, and I don’t have to be wary of his secret tricks. It’s just that we saw this man from a distance. At the archway, I inadvertently saw Sun Guangming and Su Yan passing their gazes secretly, as if something was hiding from us."

Situ Qiao let out a sigh of relief when he said this, and said, "Brother Li, you and I have both seen the terrible phantom Yao Guangxiao conjured up in the belly of the Hutou Rock. Under illusion. In my opinion, Sun Guangming's illusion ability is not inferior to that of Yao Guangxiao. Where we are now, nine out of ten are also in an illusion. Looking at the world, Sun Guangming is probably the only one with such ability ..."

Hearing what Situ Qiao said, Li Qiufeng was horrified. Looking back on his experience after meeting Sun Guangming, this person's ability is really unimaginable.Although Situ Qiao is proficient in the technique of organ information, he is not good at illusion.If it is reasonable to say that the mysterious old man, shopkeeper Hu and Xiao Er suddenly disappeared in Taibai Juzhong, but the sudden appearance of the Yang family father and son who were hundreds of years ago, there is no doubt that someone has tampered with it.And this matter is too weird, and only masters of illusion can do it.

Seeing Li Qiufeng groaning silently, Situ Qiao continued, "Just now when we were walking towards this archway, I have been secretly observing the movements of Sun Guangming and Su Yan. Before that, Su Yan seldom spoke, but Sun Guangming talked eloquently. But Brother Li, have you noticed? Just now, Sun Guangming kept silent, but Su Yan said a few words from time to time. I thought Sun Guangming must be planning something in secret, and Su Yan came out to make jokes in case we found out. He kept himself out of the matter, while observing our movements, while thinking about how to deal with us..."

The more Li Qiufeng listened, the more frightened he became. He had been listening to Yang Ye just now, but he didn't pay attention to what Sun Guangming was doing.Although he has always been wary of Situ Qiao, he has experienced Sun Guangming's illusion many times, and the things he encountered at this time are extremely strange. When Situ Qiao said this, he felt suspicious and looked at Sun Guangming. Looking at the backs of Guangming and the others, he said in a deep voice, "According to Mr. Situ, how should we get out?"
