c_t(); While Situ Qiao was speaking, Liu Yong had been looking around at the situation in the hall. The main hall was so empty that there wasn't even a single Buddha statue. There was nothing but two bodies on the ground and a futon. He heard Situ Qiao still proudly talk about Yao Guangxiao's death, and his heart was a little irritable, and he said to Situ Qiao: "Yao Guangxiao's life and death have nothing to do with us, the most important thing at the moment is to find a secret passage to the outside of the mountain and leave this place as soon as possible." Mr. Szeto, what is your opinion?"

Situ Qiao looked at Yao Guangxiao's corpse and said with a smile: "If there is a secret passage, it must be in this meditation temple." But Mr. Liu, I have a sentence that I don't like to hear if I say it. ”

Liu Yong's heart sank and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Situ Qiao pointed to Yao Guangxiao's corpse and said: "The organs in this meditation temple are extremely powerful, but they have all been cracked by Liu Yao's family, which shows that Liu Yao's skills are still above Yao Guangxiao." If there is another secret passage leading to the cave in the Jingxin Temple, Liu Yao does not have to go through a lot of trouble to come to the Jingxin Temple, and can enter the Jingxin Temple from the secret passage. In my opinion, there is only one way to enter this meditation temple, and that is the path we have come. ”

When everyone heard him say this, they were all disappointed. Du Li Qiufeng sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Situ Qiao, you plan to let us all die here, accompany Yao Guangxiao, so that you and your family's secrets will not be leaked out, yes or no?"

Situ Qiao shook his head and said to Li Qiufeng: "I know that you are Jinyiwei, and I think there are some things that I can't hide from you." I escaped from Situ's house that day, but it was not just for the elders in my family to force me to study and gain fame. I didn't care about any enmities and grudges, but since I can remember, I have often seen mysterious and strange characters in my family come to discuss things with the elders of the clan. When I was twelve years old, I learned that my family was persecuted by Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao, and there was not one in the ancestral family. In the following nearly 100 years, in order to take revenge, the ancestors formed an alliance with the descendants of the remnants of Emperor Jianwen, who were also killed by Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao, and deliberately harmed the descendants of Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao. I once dug up the grave of Yao Wei, Yao Guangxiao's uncle, with an uncle, and after Yao Wei's bones were crushed and scattered, I found a volume of "Wuwen" in his tomb. This book was written by an uncle back then, and it is full of methods for setting up various secret techniques. I became curious, and I didn't want to take revenge again. Because I was obsessed with these studies, I was often reprimanded by my parents and patriarchs, and finally I escaped. It's just that I think that since the Yao family has a collection of "Wuwen, there must be other ancient books". It is to travel through several provinces to dig the graves of the Yao family. After the grave was excavated, I crushed the bones of the grave owner and threw most of the remaining ashes into the latrine. Only the ashes of the famous were mixed with feces and urine and sealed in the Five Ghost Tower. This not only avenges my family, but also helps me to find strange books. I am telling you this to let you understand that revenge is not my goal, and I am not afraid of this news leaking out. Because you are all masters of the rivers and lakes, you naturally understand the powerful relationship between them. It is not only the Situ clan who is doing this, but also the government and the opposition, all of whom have our forces, otherwise the boat would have capsized long ago. Among this force, the Situ clan is only afraid of being the weakest. The family that presides over the big things behind it is far from what you can imagine. Otherwise, in the past 100 years, how powerful Dongchang and Jinyiwei were, didn't they notice that Emperor Jianwen's remnants were making trouble? But why have there never been major cases, have you thought about it?"

When Situ Qiao said this, he sneered, and his eyes swept around everyone's faces.

The snow is bright in the heart of the autumn wind. In the past, Zhu Di brutally killed the ministers under Emperor Jianwen, and the cruelty of his methods can be said to be rare in the world. It's just that those who were persecuted by him were also the elites of the four seas, although most of them died tragically, there were many who escaped Zhu Di's butcher's knife. In the past 100 years, it has flourished, and its power is not insignificant. I am afraid that all the departments of the imperial court, the governors of the yamen, the garrison army, and even the major gangs in the rivers and lakes have long been infiltrated by these people. Dongchang and Jinyiwei are so powerful that they can't be uprooted. If everyone present wanted to expose this matter to the imperial court, they were afraid that they would be killed before they even walked out of the Yamen gate. Thinking of this, everyone thought: "This matter is extremely dangerous, and you must pretend not to know about it in order to escape the catastrophe." ”

Deng Yao and Lin Yilang knew that Situ Qiao was actually the descendant of a minister loyal to Emperor Jianwen, and they were both surprised and happy, and after planning to flee from this place, they would go to the government to expose the Situ family as a rebellion against the imperial court. This matter is so important, the imperial court will inevitably have a big case, and the criminal department and the Jinyi guard will ride everywhere, but I am afraid that the Situ family and the Hua family will not escape the poison. At that time, without the help of the beggars and the Songshan faction, Situ Qiao would inevitably die under the butcher's knife of the government. However, Deng Yao and Lin Yilang are also people who have been through the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes for a long time, and after hearing it, they were secretly afraid in their hearts, knowing that Situ Qiao was not lying and threatening. Both of them thought in their hearts: "Situ Qiao is just a broken kid who defected from the Situ family, and killing him is just offending the Hua family." However, if it is revealed that the Situ family is related to the remnants of Emperor Jianwen, the hidden remnants of Emperor Jianwen in the government and the opposition will definitely go all out to deal with the beggars and the Songshan faction. At that time, I am afraid that the thousands of people of the beggar gang and the Songshan faction will die without a place to be buried. ”

Thinking of this, Deng Yao and Lin Yilang both regretted it. If I knew that this was such a result, it was better to hide outside the hall and not hear Situ Qiao's words. It's just that it was too late to regret it at this time, so I had to hide behind everyone, hoping that Situ Qiao didn't see him.

Chu Danyang, Xu Chenghe and others were also worried, knowing that such a big case would be involved in their bodies, and if they didn't get it right, it would be a catastrophe, so they had to remain silent.

Although Liu Yong also has some concerns, the most important thing at the moment is to leave this place as soon as possible. He said to Situ Qiao: "If there is really no secret passage here, can we just wait and die?"

Situ Qiao said: "Mr. Liu, you are respectful and fair, I admire you very much. But even if there is no secret passage here, we can go back the way we came. Then everyone will work together and rush out of the valley. Although the officers and soldiers are powerful, with Mr. Liu's martial arts, it is not difficult to get out safely. As for those who are at the bottom of the rivers and lakes, and those who are indiscriminate, they will die when they die, so why should they be pitied?"

Situ Qiao said while looking for Deng Yao and Lin Yilang among the crowd. It's just that at this time, Deng and Lin have hid behind Chu Danyang, Xu Chenghe, and Zhu Sanjia, and Situ Qiao can't help but feel a little regretful when he can't see the two.

Liu Yong Zhengse said: "Mr. Situ's words are wrong. In the rivers and lakes, there are hundreds of gangs of all sizes. Although there are high and low martial arts, strong and weak, but each gang is a part of the martial arts. As long as they do not do evil, they are worthy of admiration, but how can they say that they are dead? If we go deeper, the officers and men are also raised by their mothers and fathers, and when they arrive here, they are afraid that they have also been deceived. If both sides kill a corpse all over the field and a river of blood, it can only increase the sin in vain, even if they kill a bloody way to escape, what kind of hero can they be regarded as heroes?"

Situ Qiao smiled and said, "Whether it's a hero or a villain, I just want to get out alive." Mr. Liu, I advise you to think carefully and not to give your life in vain for the sake of others. ”

Liu Yong snorted, stopped talking to him, turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, what do you think?"

Li Qiufeng kept staring at Situ Qiao, and when he saw his smug face, he couldn't tell if he knew if there was a secret passage in this main hall for a while. He pondered for a moment and said to Liu Yong: "Let's look in the main hall and the wing room to see if there are any clues." ”

Liu Yong nodded in agreement, and Qingfeng Daoren, Chu Danyang and the others naturally had no objections. Everyone first searched in the main hall for a while, knocked almost every inch of the wall, and even pried open the bricks on the ground to see, but they didn't find anything unusual. Then everyone went out of the main hall and looked through the wings on both sides. The side room, like the main hall, was empty and empty.

When Li Qiufeng was searching, he also kept an eye on it, and secretly instructed Murong Danyan not to leave the main hall, and to keep an eye on Situ Bridge to prevent him from making any changes. When Li Qiufeng returned to the main hall from the courtyard with the dejected people, he saw Situ Qiao Wuzi spinning around beside the corpses of Yao Guangxiao and Liu Yao, with a look of schadenfreude on his face. Murong Danyan stepped forward and whispered to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, Situ Qiao has been walking around the two corpses, but he has not touched the corpses, and he has not made any strange moves. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded, and seeing Liu Yong and the others looking frustrated, he said loudly: "Mr. Liu, seniors, although we haven't found the secret passage, it's not for nothing. If the masters and officers and soldiers of Dongchang rush into the cave, we can lead the group of heroes to take shelter here temporarily. Along the way, there are not only bottomless abysses, but also countless powerful organs, and the stone caves through which they pass are extremely narrow, and it is more difficult for the masters and officers and soldiers of the East Factory to chase them in. ”

Although his words were sonorous and powerful, everyone knew that he was just comforting, so they were still depressed and could no longer hold their spirits. Zhu Sanjia stood by the wall and scolded: "Yao Guangxiao, a bastard, has used so many ruthless means to deceive my family into guarding this living coffin for him for generations. If I knew this, I might as well burn the body of this bastard!"

After Zhu Sanjia finished speaking, his right fist swung out and smashed on the wall with a "bang". Although he had not practiced internal skills, his strength was not small, and after this punch hit the wall, it actually shook several cracks on the surface of the wall.

Murong Danyan suddenly said, "Where is the back of this meditation temple?"

As soon as she said this, everyone was shocked. After walking out of the stone cave, there was a platform in front of him, but at the end of the platform was a stone arch bridge. After crossing the stone arch bridge, there was another platform, and the platform was full of mechanisms. It wasn't until after Situ Bridge cracked the mechanism that the platform fell, leaving a black stone beam that was connected to the Jingxin Temple. Everyone walked into the Jingxin Temple along the stone beam, tossing for most of the day, only saying that the Jingxin Temple was already the end of the road, but they never thought about what the situation would be behind the Jingxin Temple. At this time, when Murong Danyan mentioned it, everyone's hearts were full of joy. A knife for love
