The surging river is constantly pouring in front of you. As far as the eye could see, there was a rapidly falling rain, covering the dangerous peaks and mountains on both sides of the river, as if a boundless brocade had hung down between heaven and earth, cutting in front of the strong autumn wind, blocking his vision. Thousands of rain strands fell into the river, although it stirred up countless splashes, but the water was turbulent, and the splashes were fleeting, and they were carried away by the current, and they didn't even have time to let out the last wail.

The boat rolled up and down with the waves of the river, and almost capsized several times, but then fell into the flat valley of the current with the waves. The raindrops hit the deck, and it seemed to crackle non-stop, but the roar of the river completely covered up all the sounds between heaven and earth, and the strong autumn wind could only see the countless splashes on the deck, but as for the sound of the water droplets crashing, it could only echo in his mind.

Li Qiufeng was not the only one on the boat, and there was a man in gray sitting cross-legged in the center of the cabin. The man wore a bamboo hat with a tattered edge, and a withered face underneath the hat. The rain hit the hat and turned into streams of water of varying thicknesses that flowed slowly down the four edges of the hat.

The gray-clothed man's eyes were slightly closed, his face was carved with deep wrinkles, and the few short whiskers under his chin were already black and white. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his originally slightly sad expression actually brought out a strange smile.

The man in gray had a long black sheath knife lying horizontally on his lap. The knife was more than three feet long, and the handle was wrapped in black cloth from the gauntlet to the end of the handle.

Li Qiufeng sat cross-legged on the right side of the gray-clothed man, but he also put the embroidered spring knife horizontally on his lap. The river is rushing and thundering. The sound of the gray-clothed man's long breathing penetrated the sound of the river rushing, and clearly penetrated into the ears of the strong autumn wind.

The boat went around a dangerous shoal, and the river suddenly tightened, and a huge black rock appeared in the middle of the river, like a sharp blade stretched out in the river, and the river was divided in two. The turbulent river was hit head-on by the black boulders, and the water splashed in all directions, and two currents bypassed the rocks on both sides, and the water was so powerful that it rushed straight towards the boat. It's just that the turbulent water is blocked by the black rock, and a very small calm water surface is formed directly behind the rock, which looks particularly strange in the surging currents around it.

The gray-clothed man's eyes opened slightly, looked at the calm water on that side, and said slowly: "There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements. Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing. Feng'er, all your questions are in these four sentences. All things in heaven and earth have their own vitality, and they have their own reasons for living in the world. Everything goes with the flow, if you blindly force it, you will inevitably lose your heart and fall into the devil's path. Just like the river in front of us, although it meanders, it eventually returns to the sea. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded slightly and said, "Disciple remember!"

The gray-clothed man stroked the long knife on his knee with his right hand, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Knowing that its male guards its female, knowing that it is strong and attacking its weakness, knowing that its white is broken and its black, everything in the world is like this." Whether it is a knife or a sword, because it is indisputable, the world cannot compete with it! The general trend of the world is like this surging river, even if you and I are like the giant rock in the river, we can only slightly block the dangerous flow and seek a calm water surface. Therefore, when you go to the capital, you must be improvised, and if you can't move forward, you must withdraw as soon as possible......"

Before the man in gray spoke, a wave suddenly hit, the boat was excited by the huge waves, the bow of the boat suddenly lifted, the bodies of the two rose with the boat, Li Qiufeng's heart was cold, his left hand was on the deck, his body had already jumped up, and he stretched out his hand to help the man in gray. In the blink of an eye, the rain, the river, the boulders, the rapids, and the gray-clothed man in front of them all disappeared without a trace.

What appeared in front of him was Murong Danyan's face.

Li Qiufeng was startled, and his right hand was already holding the handle of the embroidered spring knife. saw Murong Danyan holding two steamed buns in his left hand, and his right hand was gently on his shoulder, as if he was waking himself up.

Li Qiufeng came to his senses, let go of his right hand holding the knife, smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm really embarrassed that I fell asleep." ”

After he finished speaking, he found that the cave was full of people, and three or four thousand high-rollers from the east and west were sitting together and eating. Murong Danyan said with a smile: "There are grains and bacon in many stone chambers over there, and Mr. Liu found hundreds of people, steamed steamed buns, and cut bacon. I saw that you were sleeping very deeply, and I tried to wake you up several times, but Mr. Liu said that you were too tired and asked you to sleep a little longer. It's just that these guys are like starving ghosts, and if you don't wake you up again, I'm afraid that you won't even have half a steamed bun left......"

Li Qiufeng took the steamed bun and thanked him. He was indeed hungry, swallowed the two steamed buns like a whirlwind, sighed contentedly, and was about to stand up, but Murong Danyan sat down beside him, looked into his eyes, and said slowly: "Brother Li, what did you dream about?"

Li Qiufeng was stunned, looked at Murong Danyan with some surprise, saw her staring at her with a pair of wonderful eyes, and was about to ask, but heard Murong Danyan continue: "I see that when you are asleep, the corners of your mouth twitch slightly, the muscles on your face are also shaking, and sometimes your lips tremble up and down, as if you are talking to someone. Looking at you, I think you must have had some kind of nightmare. My mother told me that if you have a nightmare, if you say it, there will be no bad luck. If I have a bad dream, I must go to my mother and tell it all over again. If my mother is not there, she will go to my father, and although his boss is impatient, he will have to listen to me. Later, when my father heard that I was going to tell him about nightmares, he made an excuse and slipped away. I had no choice but to go to my brother. One time I had a nightmare, and I couldn't find my mother and father, so I went to find my brother. He was practicing his sword in the garden, so he cut a hole in the tree with his sword, and told me that if I had a nightmare in the future, I only had to put my face to the hole in the tree and tell the tree about the nightmare, and there would be no more bad luck. Well, that was more than 10 years ago, and the tree was still in the garden, but it had become a towering tree. Brother Li, when you go to Murong Villa, I'll take you to see the big tree, okay?"

Li Qiufeng listened to her narrate these trivial matters, his face exuded a soft light, and his heart was moved, and he immediately nodded, and said: "When I return to Shuzhong and finish my work, if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely go to Jiangnan to meet Mr. Murong Qiushui." ”

Murong Danyan said: "I'll go to Shuzhong with you, and then you go back to Jiangnan with me, okay?"

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and the expression that was originally smiling slowly dimmed, and after half a salary, he slowly said to Murong Danyan: "I grew up in Shu since I was a child, and every year in the rainy season, I will go with a senior to pay tribute to my ancestors. This journey is not less than thousands of miles, how can you, a girl, withstand the ups and downs of this thousand-mile journey?"

Murong Danyan was in a hurry, glared at his eyes, and said: "Don't! I went from Jiangnan to the capital, how can I go thousands of miles? Don't forget, I also went to Songshan alone, and I saw the world-famous Shaolin monk, didn't I also retreat with my whole body?"

Li Qiufeng said with a smile: "Shaolin Temple is a famous and decent family, and all the masters in the temple are virtuous monks, so naturally they will not be embarrassed by your little girl." Miss Murong, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and the people's hearts are unpredictable, which is beyond your imagination......"

Murong Danyan pursed his lips and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I know." Brother Li, you are not much older than me, don't always treat me as a little girl who doesn't understand anything. All in all, I have to go to Shuzhong......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Zhu Sanjia walking over quickly. Murong Danyan's face turned red, he hurriedly stood up, and said to Li Qiufeng: "I'll go see Sister Sha!" After speaking, he nodded at Zhu Sanjia, and then turned around and left.

Li Qiufeng saw that Zhu Sanjia had arrived, stood up, and said to Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Zhu, is there something wrong?"

Zhu Sanjia's face was solemn, and he whispered to Li Qiufeng: "I have just communicated with the brothers in the secret passage, and now the Hutou Rock is full of masters in Shajiabao, and the exit at the peak stone archway is heavily guarded, and if you want to escape from the cave from there, I am afraid that it is impossible." ”

Li Qiufeng had expected that after the group of heroes broke out of the heavy encirclement of the officers and soldiers, Shajiabao would definitely be on strict guard, and he was not surprised by what Zhu Sanjia said, he just nodded and said: "Although there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers outside the cave, it is just that this army has a strange origin and the military rations have been burned, so it will definitely not be delayed here." Although the tiger head rock is heavily guarded, we are also masters here, after everyone recuperates, select the master to sneak out from the top of the cliff quietly, check the surrounding situation, and then make a decision. ”

Zhu Sanjia nodded yes. Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, and said to Zhu Sanjia: "We don't have time to take care of the things outside the cave for the time being. There is just one thing, Li wants to ask Brother Zhu for advice. ”

Zhu Sanjia was stunned and said, "Li Gongzi has something to say, just say it." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "When we passed by the suspended stone staircase, I was in the abyss and once fought with a person. This person's martial arts are extremely high, I don't know why he is hiding there, and I don't know if his target is us. I wonder what Brother Zhu thinks about this matter?"

Zhu Sanjia shook his head and said, "Thirty years ago, when I was a twelve-year-old boy, my father took me to this cave for the first time. Since then, I have been in this cave three or four times a year, but I have never met anyone else. This cave was personally selected by Yao Guangxiao back then, and he personally designed countless extremely powerful mechanisms at that time. In the future, although the ancestors of the Sha family and the Zhu family were sent to expand it, they only built the cave and the surrounding stone chambers to store grain, grass and weapons. As for the other secret passages and stone chambers, Yao Guangxiao came to strictly order others not to enter, otherwise they would touch the mechanism and it would be difficult to get out. After the cave was built, all the craftsmen who made the weapons were destroyed. With Yao Guangxiao's resourcefulness, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers who made this trip will not be spared. It is because the people who know the secrets of this cave have no one except for King Yan and his henchmen, Yao Guangxiao, and the ancestors of the Sha family and the Zhu family. ”

When he said this, he looked at Li Qiufeng, and then continued: "Li Gongzi, you can think about it, if someone else knew the secret of this cave, someone would have been doing something here in the past hundred and ten years. It's just that the ancestors of my Zhu family who have guarded the cave for generations have not left any records about the human traces found in the cave. ”

Li Qiufeng recalled the situation of fighting with that person in the abyss under the suspended stone ladder, although the two fought only one move, he had already noticed that the person's internal strength was profound, and he was definitely not a ghost. It's just that this person is obviously a martial arts master, why did he hide in the Jedi, this matter is too weird, it is really incomprehensible.
