Li Qiufeng listened to the old man's words, and knew that the roads and houses in the closed door village were set up according to the five elements of Qimen, and he was a little uneasy in his heart. However, he ran all the way, but he didn't get lost, but after half a cup of tea, he saw that hundreds of steps away, a cliff as high as more than 100 zhang suddenly appeared.

Li Qiufeng was shocked, and hurriedly dodged behind a big tree on the right side of the road. After a while, when there was nothing unusual around, he poked his head out and looked at the cliff. I saw that this cliff stood in front of it, like a sharp blade, it slashed down from the air, just blocking the road ahead. The cliff is extremely smooth, there is no bump or convexity, and there are no trees and weeds, even if it is difficult for apes to climb up, and the master of light skills is naturally helpless. It was only at this moment that Li Qiufeng knew what the old man meant by saying that there was only one passage in and out of Fengmen Village. Judging from the topography here, it is very similar to the stone wall outside the Wuji Temple of Yuntai Mountain. The stone cave leading to the outside of the village must be under this cliff.

Li Qiufeng only listened to the people of the Nie family and knew that this stone cave was heavily guarded. It's just that when he was escorted into Fengmen Village by Nie Dingnan last night, he passed through this stone cave, but no one checked it. Thinking that Nie Dingnan knew the news of the organ of this stone cave, the guards of the stone cave did not come forward to stop it. It's just that if he wants to rush over at this time, first, he is worried about startling the grass and snakes, and second, even if he rushes into the stone cave, if there is agency news all over the cave, he is not Situ Qiao and Changsun Guangming, and he doesn't know much about the art of agency information, so he rashly breaks into the oil, just like being trapped in the stone house last night. The Nie family only needs to close the two ends of the stone cave, and they have nothing to do, they have to starve to death in the stone cave.

He was anxious when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, but it came from the direction he was running. Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he hurriedly retracted behind the big tree. I only heard the sound of footsteps chaotic and heavy, and slowly walked closer.

Li Qiufeng quietly poked his head out, but saw a person walking over.

I saw that this person was wearing a gray robe, his beard was white, he was holding a bamboo basket in his left hand and a wooden staff in his right hand.

When Li Qiufeng saw this person, he was stunned, and secretly thought that this was not one of the two gray-clothed old men who brought him food? I don't know if it was this person who ran to the Nie family to report the news.

While he was thinking, the old man in gray had already staggered close to him. Li Qiufeng knew that he couldn't hesitate at this time, but with his right foot, he had already arrived in front of the old man.

The gray-clothed old man saw a flower in front of him, and a figure was already standing in front of him. The old man was so frightened that he opened his mouth and was about to scream, but Li Qiufeng shot like lightning, and instantly hit the dumb point on the waist and the middle point on the chest of the gray-clothed old man. The old man in gray only felt that his whole body was sore, so he fell to the ground. Li Qiufeng grabbed his body with his right hand, but ran back behind the tree.

The old man in gray was put behind a tree by Li Qiufeng, and only then did he wake up slightly, and he was about to open his mouth and shout for help, but he couldn't make a sound. He looked at Li Qiufeng standing beside him with a frightened face, if it weren't for the fact that his body was about to be hit by an acupoint, his whole body was sore, and he was afraid that he would have knelt on the ground and begged for mercy at this moment.

Li Qiufeng squatted down, pulled out the embroidered spring knife with his right hand, pressed it against the neck of the gray-clothed old man, and whispered: "If you want to live, listen to me obediently." Otherwise, I only need to use a slight force on my wrist, and your head will not be saved. ”

The old man looked panicked and blinked, as if begging for mercy.

Li Qiufeng unlocked the dumb hole of the gray-clothed old man with his left hand, but the middle point did not untie it for him. The gray-clothed old man let out a sigh of relief, although the breath in his throat had been smoothed a lot, he didn't dare to speak, just looked at Li Qiufeng with his eyes.

Li Qiufeng saw that the old man in gray did not move, so he relaxed a little and said in a low voice: "Who are you, where are you going?"

The gray-clothed old man coughed and said in a trembling voice: "Little Lao'er, little Lao'er is the old lady's cook. His old man wants to eat his favorite quail-stuffed bun today. Little Lao'er is going to the Yan family market at the bottom of the mountain to buy quails......"

Li Qiufeng listened to the voice of the old man, which was completely different from the voice of the old man who reported the news that he heard just now when he was hiding under the bed, and secretly thought that the old guy surnamed Nie was really a big showman, and he actually used two cooks. He stared into the eyes of the gray-clothed old man, and said, "If you go down the mountain, will you pass through a stone cave?"

The old man in gray was frightened at this time, not as helpless as Fang Cai, and spoke a lot more neatly: "Yes." There is only one way to enter and exit Fengmen Village. ”

Li Qiufeng groaned slightly, and said to the gray-clothed old man: "I want to leave here." In a moment you will take me down the mountain from the cave. ”

The old man in gray was startled, and said in a trembling voice: "This, this is not good! The stone cave is heavily guarded, they don't know you, and they will never let you go......

Li Qiufeng sneered: "It depends on your ideas." If I can't get out, you won't be able to save your life. ”

The old man in gray looked frightened and pleaded, "Didn't you harm the life of the little old man?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Don't coax me as a chick." You're that old guy's cook. Since ancient times, although the cook and groom are lowly, they are the most trusted people of the master, and it can be said that half of the master's life is in your hands. You have to go out of the mountains to buy ingredients for that old guy. If the guards at the entrance of the village dare to stop you, they are tired of life. I'll put my words here, if you can take me out, your life will be saved. If you're a troublemaker behind your back and want the guards to arrest me, you'll be the first to die!"

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to untie the sealed acupoint of the old man in gray, put the knife back into its sheath, stood up, and said to the old man in gray: "Get up, take me down the mountain together!"

The old man in gray trembled and got up from the ground. It's just that he is old and weak, and the Jizhong acupoint has been closed for a long time, and the qi and blood in his whole body are not smooth. He had just gotten up, but he felt that his knees were weak, and he fell to the ground again. Li Qiufeng's hand was quick, and his left hand was stretched out, and he was holding it under the old man in gray, helping him stand firmly. The old man in gray said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, ...... you."

Li Qiufeng was stunned and was about to speak, but the old man smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, old man, not only are his legs and feet not good, but he also doesn't listen to his tongue, and he calls the uncle an adult." ”

Li Qiufeng said with a smile: "When you see the guards for a while, you can't call me uncle, let alone call me lord." Let's just say that I was sent by Old Lady Nie to help you pick out the ingredients. ”

The old man in gray even claimed to be. Li Qiufeng picked up the wooden stick from the ground and handed it to him, took the bamboo basket in his hand, and said, "Let's go." ”

The two of them walked around the big tree and slowly walked towards the stone wall. Li Qiufeng said as he walked: "The old guy surnamed Nie is such a big scene, he actually used two cooks. But even if he gave me face, he asked you two cooks to bring me food early this morning, which really looks up to me. ”

The old man in gray said in a trembling voice: "The old lady is a particular person. He is not greedy for money in this life, he is not lustful, but he has a desire for a tongue. When he was young, he had the best food in Beijing, and specially invited the chef of Ruyifang in Beijing to be his cook. Later, when he came to Jiangnan, he became obsessed with Hangzhou cuisine and asked me to be his cook. More than 30 years have passed, and Lao Zhang and I made him the eight major samples of the capital, and the other made Hangzhou dishes for him, and the old lady was very satisfied. It's just that Lao Zhang and I are both nearly seventy years old, and I'm afraid we won't be able to cook for a few years. The old lady is used to us, and has not invited any more young cooks. There seems to be something big to do in the village these days, and his entourage has also been sent out, probably going down the mountain. It was an errand to deliver food this morning, so we two old fellows had to do it. ”

When the gray-clothed old man said this, he glanced at Li Qiufeng, and then said, "Uncle, our old lady is good to you. In the past, people came to the village to visit his old man, but it was just a bowl of brown rice and a few plates of cabbage and tofu. But when we were preparing the meal this morning, the old lady repeatedly instructed that we must let the uncle eat and drink well. Lao Zhang and I carefully cooked eight side dishes, alas, but it's a pity that the uncle didn't eat ......"

Li Qiufeng thought that he was bent on escaping in the morning, and was so shocked that the two cooks accidentally knocked over the food box to the ground. At that time, he was only concerned about escaping from the stone house, and he didn't take a closer look at what kind of food they were cooking. At this time, I thought about it, and I suddenly felt a burst of hunger in my stomach, and I actually "cooed".
