A knife in love

Chapter 867

Although Li Qiufeng knew that Master Feng had no malicious intentions, seeing the darkness inside the wooden door and the strangeness of the stone house, he felt a little suspicious in his heart.So he stepped forward, holding the Xiuchun Dao tightly in his right hand, concentrating his whole body on internal strength, ready to attack the enemy at any time.

It's just that when he walked into the stone house, he felt that the house was not as dark as he thought at first.I saw that the room was empty, only a wooden table was placed in the center of the room, and a chair was placed on each side.A pair of black wooden bookshelves stood against the wall on the north side. It was divided into four floors. Some books were scattered on each floor, but there was nothing else.This stone house is square and square, the floor is covered with blue bricks, and it is cleaned very cleanly.

Master Feng said: "Hero Li is waiting here, I'll go and order breakfast for Hero Li right away."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Feng doesn't have to work anymore, I'm not hungry."

Master Feng said: "Hero Li, you don't have to be polite. Old Yin and I woke you up early in the morning. We have been busy working in the Town God's Temple for a long time and didn't have time to eat. How can we not be hungry?"

After Master Feng finished speaking, he cupped his hands at Li Qiufeng, then turned and left.He knew the power of Li Qiufeng, and he knew that if Li Qiufeng wanted to leave, even if the wooden door was locked, he could shake it open with one palm.So when Master Feng left, he didn't even close the wooden door of the stone house.

Li Qiufeng sat on the wooden chair on the right, saw Master Feng's figure disappearing at the end of the alley, then stood up and walked slowly in the stone house.When he reached the black wooden bookshelf, he stopped in his tracks.I saw more than a dozen volumes of books on the top shelf of the bookshelf. Judging from the text on the spine, they were all Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics.

Li Qiufeng stood in front of the bookshelf, his eyes were exactly at the same height as the second shelf of the bookshelf.I saw three stacks of books on this floor.The first stack of books on the left has the word "History of the Song Dynasty" written on the spine, the middle stack of books has "History of the Five Dynasties" written on the spine, and the first stack of books on the right has "Historical Records of the Five Dynasties" written on the spine.In addition, there are some booklets of different thickness scattered here and there.Li Qiufeng took out a booklet casually, and saw the words "Song Shi Ji Zhu" written on it.

Li Qiufeng took the booklet in his hand, read it over and over carefully, then opened the booklet, turned to a few pages, looked at the words on those pages, and thought deeply.Then he took out a few more books, and only read a few paragraphs in each book, his face became more and more serious.Finally, he put the scattered booklets back on the bookshelf, staring at the stack of "Song History".After a while, he closed his eyes slightly, stretched out his left hand while thinking, and gently stroked the spine of a stack of "Song History".Suddenly, the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of his left hand rested on the spine of a book. This posture was indescribably comfortable.Li Qiufeng opened his eyes suddenly, pinched the booklet with the thumb and index finger of his left hand, and pulled it out from the stack of "Song History".

Li Qiufeng put the booklet in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully for a while, then turned around again, and gently moved the book in front of his eyes with the light coming in from the door.After a while, he opened the book with both hands and found one of the pages. When he saw what was written in the book, he became suspicious.

When he was reading a book, he suddenly felt that something was wrong outside.At this time, he was facing the bookshelf, with his back to the door of the stone house, his eyes stayed on the books, but he already noticed that someone had arrived in the alley.He hastily put the scroll back in his hand, and stretched out his left hand to smooth the spine of the stack of "Histories of the Song Dynasty", making it look as if no one had touched it.After confirming that there was nothing unusual on the bookshelf, he slowly turned around.I saw a person walking hurriedly in the alley.

Li Qiufeng walked to the table and looked carefully, but saw that the person was wearing a white shirt. He was Huang Xu, the only daughter of Huang Chong, the magistrate of Xiuwu County.Li Qiufeng was taken aback, wondering why Huang Xu had come.At this moment, Huang Xu had arrived in front of the stone house.It's just that she was walking in the courtyard. Although the wooden door of the stone house had been opened, it was just that the room was dark, and Huang Xu couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the stone house for a while.

After she hurried into the stone house, she found Li Qiufeng standing by the table.It was just in a hurry, but she didn't recognize Li Qiufeng, she just realized that there was a person in front of her suddenly, she screamed in fright, and took three steps back, with a "bang", her back hit him. The wall by the door.

Li Qiufeng saw how terrified she was, so he hurriedly said, "Miss Huang, don't need to be terrified, I'm Li Qiufeng."

Only then did Huang Xu see clearly that the person in front of her was Li Qiufeng. She took a deep breath, stretched out her left hand and patted her chest twice, and said, "I was scared to death, I was scared to death."

Li Qiufeng secretly laughed in his heart, but his expression remained the same, and he said in his mouth: "Miss Huang, why are you here?"

Only then did Huang Xu remember his reason for coming, and hurriedly stepped forward two steps, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Uncle Yin sent someone to report to me that it was Daddy who arrested you and brought you to the county government office for questioning. After hearing this, I hurried back to the county government office , I just met Uncle Feng. He said you were here, so I hurried over."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself that Catcher Yin was afraid that he would be questioned by Huang Chong, so he sent someone to find Huang Xu quietly and asked her to rescue Huang Chong.Naturally, Yin Tutou had good intentions, but he didn't know that Huang Chong didn't want to embarrass himself.It's just that this matter can't be mentioned to Huang Xu, so he smiled slightly and said to Huang Xu: "The county magistrate just called my subordinates to the county government for questioning, not to torture and press charges. Huang Girls don't have to worry."

Huang Xu looked heavy, shook his head, and said: "Uncle Yin said that many people died in Chenghuang Temple, and this matter will never be good. There are some things that my father can't help himself. Even if he wants to protect him, he is still powerless." Not caught. Li Daxia, you just follow me and leave, don’t stay in this place.”

When Huang Xu said this, his body trembled a few times, with a look of horror in his eyes, he lowered his voice and said, "Hero Li, do you know where this stone house is?"

Seeing Huang Xu's panic, Li Qiufeng thought to himself that the girl probably knew that this place used to be the Earth Temple, and that there were five corpses that were skinned and weeded by the Emperor Taizu, and that's why she was so scared.When he thought of this, he suddenly thought of Murong Danyan, and thought to himself: "If Miss Murong is here and knows the origin of this stone house, I'm afraid she will lose her face."

Thinking of Murong Danyan, Li Qiufeng's heart felt sweet, but in an instant, he felt sad again.Huang Xu felt a little embarrassed when he saw Li Qiufeng suddenly stunned, with his eyes fixed and fixed, staring straight at him.Li Qiufeng saw Huang Xu's face was ashamed, he lowered his head, and played with the hem of his clothes with both hands, only then did he realize that he had lost his composure.He was quite embarrassed, so he had to cough a few times, and said in his mouth: "I just heard from Master Feng that this stone house used to be an earth temple..."

Huang Xu didn't wait for him to finish, and rushed to say: "Many people died in this stone house, and it is often haunted by ghosts! And it's a female ghost..."

When Huang Xu said this, his face turned pale, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't speak anymore.I saw her body trembling, her eyes rolling wildly, as if she wanted to turn her head to look left and right, but she didn't dare.

Seeing her appearance, Li Qiufeng was obviously very frightened, so he said in a deep voice: "Miss Huang, don't be afraid, the so-called theory of ghosts and gods is ultimately vague. In broad daylight, in the bright universe, how can there be any ghosts and gods? Come to think of it. The corpses of officials who were massacred were placed here, and some ignorant people in the yamen spread rumors, so there are legends of ghosts."

Huang Xu shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "If someone else said it, I might not believe it. It's just that my master also said that this place is haunted, so she wouldn't lie to me?"

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, he glanced at Huang Xu, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Yunzhen also said that this place is haunted?"

At this time, Huang Xu's fright was gone, he nodded, and said in his mouth: "That was five years ago, I was still a child. One night there was a sudden chaos in the yamen, the servants ran around, the tolerance and the arresters were also like Scurrying around like headless chickens. At that time, my mother and I were hiding in the house, and my father was working in the court in the front yard. I heard people yelling that an assassin had sneaked into the county office. My mother was frightened and hugged me tightly. She hid in the house and did not dare to go out. Master and her old man rushed in and told our mothers not to run around, but she broke out by herself. The yamen was very noisy that night, and my mother hugged me all night. At dawn, Master came back in a hurry. She was pale and terrified."

When Huang Xu said this, he seemed to have seen the situation at that time again, his body trembled slightly, and he continued after a long while: "Master said that the one who came was not an assassin, but... a female ghost..."
