Everyone followed Situ Bridge slowly, zigzag above the bottomless abyss, and everyone was extremely careful. After stopping for more than half an hour, I suddenly heard Situ Qiao say, "It's here!"

Everyone's hearts sank, and they all stopped. It's just that this passage is only a little more than a foot wide, Liu Yong walked behind Situ Qiao, and behind him was Chu Danyang. Except for Liu and Chu, the people behind couldn't see what was going on in front of them.

Liu Yong and Chu Danyang can see it clearly. Under the light of the torches, I saw a tall temple gate two or three feet away.

The temple gate is embedded in a recessed crack in the stone wall, which is more than two zhang high, and is divided into three gates. The temple gates on the left and right sides are smaller, and the temple gates in the middle are tall and wide. This temple gate almost completely covers the gap in the mountain wall, and I don't know what it looks like inside the temple gate.

Situ Qiao also stopped at this time, grabbed a handful of silver powder with his right hand, and waved it forward. The silver powder fluttered down one after another, just between his feet and the temple gate, forming a silver glittering passage. Situ Qiao walked slowly forward until he stopped at the bottom of a stone staircase. There are nine steps in this stone staircase, and the top of the stone staircase is where the temple gate is located.

Liu Yong and Chu Danyang were shocked by the tall temple gate in front of them, and forgot to step forward for a while. It's just that more than a dozen people behind them followed, and by the light of the torch in Situ Qiao's hand, they had already seen the temple gate. Everyone's hearts are full of fear, facing the tall and majestic temple gate, and they can't help but have a trace of fear in their hearts.

Murong Danyan stood beside Li Qiufeng, looked at the vague shadow of the temple gate, and said in a trembling voice: "Why is this temple gate so terrifying, it doesn't seem like it's real......"

Before she finished speaking, Situ Qiao had already raised his feet and walked up the stone steps. It's just that he walks extremely slowly, lifting his legs high with each step, and then slowly falling. Wait until you have stepped on the stone steps very firmly before you take the next step.

Everyone saw Situ Qiao walking up the stone steps step by step, and they didn't even dare to come out, for fear that something would happen again. Fortunately, Situ Bridge walked very steadily, until he reached the end of the stone steps, but nothing strange happened.

Situ Qiao walked to the temple gate, looked up, and then turned back to everyone and said, "Come up, everyone." ”

Qunhao then followed, but when he walked up the stone steps, he was also cautious. At first, I didn't notice it, but when I stepped on the stone steps, I found that the stone steps were paved with bluestone, and the surface was polished like a mirror. Only then did everyone know why Situ Qiao had to raise his legs and walk lightly when he walked up this step, but because the surface of this stone step was too smooth, once he walked in a hurry, he was afraid that he would fall down.

After they walked up the stone steps, they arrived at the temple gate. At this time, when I just looked at it, I felt that this temple gate was extremely tall. And far away, only to see this temple gate majestic and majestic, to the front of the closer to take a closer look, but found that the top of the temple gate is covered with glazed tiles, under the eaves with colored pens to draw a variety of pictures. The beams are painted bright red, which makes it look even more imposing.

Li Qiufeng turned his head to look at the way he came, and since everyone had already walked to the temple gate, the scope of the torch light had moved to the stone steps. The silver dust that had been laid on the passage had lost the light of the torches, but it had ceased to shine. It is to look back at the road when it came, and no longer see the shadow of the passage. It seems that under the steps, there is a bottomless abyss. As for the disc on the opposite stone wall, it had long been hidden in the darkness.

Suddenly, I heard Zhu Sanjia say: "Fuck, what a ghost! I have been to Jingxin Temple fifty or sixty times, why have I never seen this temple gate?"

Situ Qiao sneered: "If you didn't deliberately deceive, what you saw at that time was just a fake meditation temple. ”

Zhu Sanjia's eyes widened, and he said to Situ Qiao: "How can it be fake......?

As he said this, his voice suddenly stopped, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. It's just that this expression slowly turned to confusion, and in the end it was a look of fear.

Murong Danyan said, "Brother Zhu, what's wrong with you?"

Brother Zhu said in a trembling voice: "Fake, fake...... How can it be fake...... Door、It didn't have a door......"

Everyone didn't know what Zhu Sanjia meant by muttering to himself, and seeing that he looked lost and depressed, they didn't want to ask. Situ Qiao didn't care about this, and said to Zhu Sanjia: "Remember, the place you went to was entered through the Ping Gate, and it was not really a meditation temple at all." However, Yao Guangxiao is not bad to your ancestors, and he didn't think about killing people and killing them all. Although it was a fake meditation temple that allowed the Zhu family to enter, it was indeed a place to avoid the pursuit of the enemy. But your Zhu family is really stupid, since the temple is not real, just push open a temple door and go in to have a look, but you have to stand honestly in the courtyard, and have been teased by Yao Guangxiao for more than a hundred years......"

While sneering at Zhu Sanjia, Situ Qiao walked around in front of the temple gate and carefully inspected the three temple gates.

Zhu Sanjia stood aside in despair, seemingly deaf to Situ Qiao's sarcastic words. Li Qiufeng couldn't help but comfort him: "Brother Zhu, it's actually nothing. Yao Guangxiao acted unexpectedly, thinking that he was afraid of revealing his secrets, so he built a fake meditation temple. It's just that he has no ill will towards the ancestors of the Zhu family, so you don't have to be frustrated. ”

Zhu Sanjia shook his head and said, "Master Li, I don't have any grudge against Yao Guangxiao. Just think about these thirty years...... No, it should be nearly a hundred years, and my Zhu family has been guarding outside Hutou Rock for generations, and grain will be transported into the mountains every year. I didn't expect this hard work to be just a big dream. Alas, pity my ancestors, who are firmly chained to Hutou Rock, and ...... like walking corpses every day."

When he said this, he whimpered and couldn't say any more.

Li Qiufeng knew that the Zhu family was deceived by Yao Guangxiao, so he was stunned. It's just that this thing is really inconsolable, so I have to smile bitterly. At this time, I heard Situ Qiao say: "This temple gate is a bit weird, I'm afraid that there are a lot of articles in it." ”

Everyone thought to themselves, "Where have we not been strange since we entered here?" Your words are like farts, and they are of no use at all. ”

Situ Qiao turned around and said to Zhu Sanjia: "You said that the Jingxin Temple you have seen does not have a temple gate, yes or no?"

Zhu Sanjia nodded and said in a trembling voice: "If I hadn't just seen this temple gate, I wouldn't have remembered it." There is really no temple gate there, and after crossing a stone bridge, there is a courtyard. There is a large hall directly opposite the stone bridge, but it is not very large. There is a row of side rooms on the left and right, which is much lower than the main hall. The ancestor of my Zhu family said that if you enter the Jingxin Temple, you can only take refuge in the courtyard temporarily, and you must not enter the main hall or the wings, otherwise something terrible will happen. In the past hundred years, even if the people of my Zhu family arrived at the Jingxin Temple, they only stayed in the courtyard for a while. ”

Murong Danyan said: "Brother Zhu, why do you think that the temple does not have a temple gate, and then conclude that it is fake?"

Zhu Sanjia said: "The girl doesn't know. All temples are the heaviest temple gates. If there is no temple gate, it cannot be called a temple. Yao Guangxiao is a monk, so he naturally knows this truth, how can there be a reason to build a temple without building a temple gate? It's just that the ancestors of my Zhu family all regarded Yao Guangxiao as a god. He entrusted the responsibility of guarding the cave to the ancestors of the Sha and Zhu families, so naturally there was no reason to deceive the two. Alas, I can't think of it, I can't think of it, he has a back hand for everything he does. I'm afraid that for Emperor Chengzu, he is not single-minded. ”

Before his words fell, he heard Situ Qiao sneer: "Yao Guangxiao is naturally not single-minded towards Zhu Di. Zhu Di, a bastard, is ruthless and cunning, vicious and vicious, and has killed millions of people? What kind of character is Yao Guangxiao, naturally he should also keep a hand on Zhu Di. ”

Emperor Chengzu's reputation among the people is not good, but since Chengzu ascended the throne, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have monitored hundreds of officials and civilians, and they have often arrested people to the edict prison and tortured them, killing people without calculation, frightening the officials and the people trembling, for fear that disaster will come out of their mouths. Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Every time Emperor Chengzu is mentioned, this Mr. Situ will scold, as if he has a deep hatred with Emperor Chengzu." ”

After Situ Qiao finished speaking, he looked at the temple gate in front of him with his hands behind his back, and said: "The people call the gate of the temple the mountain gate, and they use the mountain of the mountain, but in fact, this is a fallacy. To be precise, it should be three words. This is because the temple gate is divided into three gates, with the middle gate being the largest, which is called the Phaseless Gate. In Sanskrit, Wuxiang means to become a monk, and the meaning of Wuxiang Gate is to escape from the color body and body into the empty door, so that only monks who have been ordained can go through the Wuxiang Gate. The door on the left is called the empty door, and the empty door means that everything is empty, and there is no need for anything. The door on the right is called Wuzuo Gate, that is, you must not think too much about being a person, and you must be as calm as water. Before arriving at the temple gate, people from outside the square should enter the temple through the empty gate on the left and leave through the Musaku gate on the right. The gate of the temple in front of us is a three-gate, think about it, which portal should we enter the temple from?"

Everyone was amazed when they heard him talk eloquently. Murong Danyan smiled: "So that's the case." I've always thought that the three characters for Sanmen were the mountains of the mountains. Mr. Situ, you are really well-informed and well-deserved. ”

Situ Qiao was quite proud when he heard her praise herself, and said with a smile: "Count your kid with eyesight." Tell me, which gate are we going to enter the temple through?"

Murong Danyan was stunned, looked at the temple gate, and said, "Since you said that people outside the square should enter the left and exit the right, we naturally have to enter the temple through the empty gate on the left." ”

She said as she pointed to the temple gate on the left. Situ Qiao smiled and said, "If it's really as you said, Yao Guangxiao is too stupid." ”

After he finished speaking, he said to the crowd, "Which gate do you think is the right way to enter the temple?"

Seeing that Murong Danyan didn't know the height of the sky, Qunhao rashly opened his mouth to answer, but was sneered at by Situ Qiao. The leaders and heads of various gangs respect their identities and don't want to humiliate themselves, so they are silent. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Situ Qiao turned his gaze to Li Qiufeng's face, and said, "You are quite knowledgeable, you might as well tell me, which gate are we going to enter the temple from?"

Li Qiufeng looked at the temple gate, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Situ Qiao was about to say a few words of sarcasm, when he suddenly saw Li Qiufeng holding the embroidered spring knife in his right hand, and his heart sank, and he swallowed back a few words that had reached his mouth.
