A knife in love

Chapter 894

The old man in gray turned his head and glanced at Li Qiufeng, a smile appeared on his frightened face.

Li Qiufeng patted his stomach, and said with a smile: "Wu Zang Temple has been hungry for a day and a night, and now it's not surprising to call Qu."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.Just now Li Qiufeng was still drawing his saber at the old man, now with a smile, the grudge between the two dissipated quite a bit.Li Qiufeng said: "As long as you take me down the mountain, I promise I won't hurt your life."

The gray-clothed old man sighed: "Actually, the old man treats you well, and he doesn't want to hurt you by looking at him. It's just that this Fengmen Village has always only allowed strangers to come in and not come out. The old man treats you like a guest. It means that he has no intention of hurting you. As long as you find out that you are not an enemy of Fengmen Village, he will let you go. Why do you rush and force your way? If you offend the old man, I'm afraid it will be bad for you."

Li Qiufeng sneered, and said in his mouth: "Trapping me in the stone house, is that the old guy's way of hospitality?"

The gray-clothed old man smiled and said: "Many people from outside lived in that stone house, some of them were officials from the capital. The roads in this Fengmen Village are winding and winding, and the houses are real and fake. If you enter the village for the first time It is very easy for strangers to get lost. The stone house is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. Strangers live there, so they will not wander around easily, but it is a very safe place. The old master asked the fourth master to take you to live there temporarily, but it is also a good intention If he really wants to harm you, as long as we don't allow us to deliver food and water, within a few days, the uncle will die of thirst in the stone house."

Suspicions arose in Li Qiufeng's heart, and he said in his mouth: "The officials from the capital? What are the officials from the capital doing here?"

The gray-clothed old man shook his head: "The villain is just a cook, how can I let the villain know these things? I heard that the old man lived in the capital for a few years when he was young, so he probably made friends at that time. Our old man But he is a great person, although he has lived in this deep mountain for many years, there is no major event in the world that he does not know. Even if Zhuge Liang, Xu Maogong, and Liu Bowen are reborn, they will not have such abilities."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, although this old guy surnamed Nie is scheming, but judging from his appearance, he doesn't know martial arts, and he is very old, how can he compare with Zhuge Liang and others?Presumably this cook got the benefit of the old guy, so he flattered him desperately.At this time, he suddenly remembered something, and asked immediately: "You said that the roads and houses in Fengmen Village are weird, but after I escaped from the stone house, I arrived at the entrance of the village without much effort, so what happened? thing?"

The old man in gray smiled and said, "That's your luck. A few months ago, a lot of people came to the village suddenly. I heard that these people are the children of the Nie family, the Lu family, the Zhao family, and the Du family scattered all over the place. Many of these people are returning to Fengmen Village for the first time, so the fourth master ordered that all the traps in the village be scattered, so as to prevent these people who returned to the village for the first time from touching the traps by mistake. Don't look at the calmness of Fengmen Village right now, if The mechanism has not been removed, even if I am a villain, I dare not walk around. Some places have traps, and some places have hidden arrows. And if you accidentally walk into those hidden houses, you will encounter ghosts hitting the wall and turn around in one place Turn around, if the fourth master doesn't let the trapped person out, I'm afraid he will die of exhaustion and starvation inside, and he won't be able to get out. After those people left, the fourth master didn't let the trap be restored. Otherwise, you have to If you want to escape from the stone house all the way to the entrance of the village, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky."

Li Qiufeng had seen the power of Qimen and Five Elements before, so he didn't doubt what the old man said.He thought for a moment, and then said: "Since I arrived here last night, except for a few people from the Nie family, why is the village so lifeless, with no one around?"

The gray-clothed old man said: "That was a few months ago, more than 1000 people came from outside the mountain. They discussed in Qianyin Cave for several days, and then disappeared suddenly. I don't know. Lao Zhang was exhausted. Although these people all brought dry food, the fourth master had prepared steamed buns, dried beef and mutton and other food in advance. But think about it, the village has more than 1000 more mouths out of thin air, and the prepared things are not enough. In three days, I was eaten up. The old man had no choice but to let Lao Zhang and I help to cook. Alas, we are poor old bones. We were almost exhausted. But on the fourth day At night, all these people disappeared. And together with the four or five hundred young people in Fengmen Village, they don’t know where they went. Right now, there are only seven or eighty people left in the whole village, and they are all old people, unmarried women and children. .These people stay at home all day, and it’s not surprising that you don’t see people in the village.”

The gray-clothed old man stopped for a while when he said this, and looked forward, not far from the stone wall.He went on to say: "Fengmen Village was built here, with its back against the cliff, and the left and right sides are abysses. Outsiders cannot enter Fengmen Village from these three sides. And the stone wall in front of Fengmen Village leads to the mountain outside the mountain. The road is cut off. If you want to enter or exit the village, you have to go through this stone cave on the stone wall. There are guards at both ends of the cave, and there are many traps inside the cave. If outsiders want to force their way in, they have to die."

Li Qiufeng nodded and said with a smile, "That's why I didn't force my way in. Please take me there."

The gray-clothed old man sighed, and said: "I just don't know if those boys will give me face with my old face."

Li Qiufeng said: "You are that old guy's confidant, if they dare to make things difficult for you, unless they don't want to hang around in this village anymore."

Between the two of them talking, the distance from the stone wall was only thirty or forty zhang.When far away, this stone wall looks like a wall, standing between the sky and the earth.When the two got closer, they felt that the stone wall seemed to cover most of the sky.And when walking forward, it feels like the stone wall is falling towards the two of them, and an invisible pressure is pressing on them.Li Qiufeng held the bamboo basket in his left hand and the handle of the knife in his right hand, feeling extremely nervous.

I just saw that the stone wall was thirty or forty feet away, but the road under my feet was twists and turns. Sometimes I was walking forward, but I felt that I was getting farther and farther away from the stone wall.Fortunately, although the gray-clothed old man didn't walk fast, he didn't hesitate to face the fork in the road, and led Li Qiufeng to turn left and right and walked down.Only then did Li Qiufeng know that the roads in Fengmen Village were indeed set up according to the Five Elements of Qimen, as the old man surnamed Nie said, so they went around like this when walking.Fortunately, this gray-clothed old man has lived in Fengmen Village for a long time and is very familiar with the roads, so he will not be trapped in the village.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was secretly lucky.Just thinking about it, my heart shivered again, thinking to myself how could there be such a coincidence in the world.I was worried about not being able to leave Fengmen Village, but this cook appeared in front of me.Thinking forward, I was trapped in the stone house at the time when there was no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.The old guy sent two cooks who didn't know martial arts to deliver meals to him, which made him escape.Later, I planned to catch the old guy and force him to ask what the secrets of Fengmen Village were, but I heard the members of the Nie family discussing things in secret, which solved most of the doubts in my mind.If it is really God's favor, then my luck is too good, right?

Li Qiufeng frowned and thought hard, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were too many unreasonable things that happened in one day and one night.Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at the old man in gray.I saw the gray-clothed old man leaning on a wooden stick and walking forward without looking sideways.Although Li Qiufeng was full of doubts, he just knew that although the cook didn't know martial arts, if he deliberately deceived himself about everything just now, then even if he put a knife on his neck, this person would definitely not give in.Maybe I was thinking too much.However, if the old guy surnamed Nie cast doubts and wanted to lure himself into being fooled, I'm afraid that he has fallen into the trap now.

But Li Qiufeng thought about it again, judging from the things discussed by the members of the Nie family, it really had nothing to do with him.Moreover, I have never faced the old man surnamed Nie, Nie Dingnan, Nie Laowu and others.It is also impossible for Ji Dingzhong, Han Qusi, Hu Kun, Huang Chong and others to know their identities.There was no need for the old man surnamed Nie to be suspicious, and deliberately put himself down the mountain.Maybe I was really lucky, because all the children of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families were sent down the mountain to deal with the Xu family and the Japanese pirates, which made it easy for me to escape.

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the old man in gray say in a low voice: "Be careful, there is a hole in front of you. If you want to survive, don't show your flaws. Just listen to me for a while, don't talk too much."
