At the beginning of the road, Zhu Sanjia and Situ Qiao were the first to lead the way, especially Zhu Sanjia. It's just that after the Zhu Sanjia walked into the stone cave, Situ Qiao opened another passage, threatening that what the Zhu Sanjia walked into was not a living gate, but to lead everyone into a trap. After that, Situ Qiao led everyone into the stone cave, and there were many difficulties and dangers along the way, and even four gang leaders and heads were unfortunately killed. Deng Yao, the leader of the beggar gang, and Lin Yilang, the head of the Songshan faction, even turned their faces with Liu Yong and almost got into a fight. All these turmoil was caused by Situ Qiao not listening to Zhu Sanjia leading the way, and looking for a secret passage to Jingxin Temple on his own. And everyone went through hardships and dangers, fighting all the way, and they didn't expect to reach the end, but what they found was the road that Zhu Sanjia originally wanted to take everyone.

Li Qiufeng looked at the white stone bridge outside the entrance of the cave, and his heart was full of emotion. Thinking back to the scene at the beginning of the cave, it turned out to be like a world away. But I heard Chu Danyang sigh, and it seemed that there was infinite sadness in his chest. Even Deng Yao and Lin Yilang felt a little emotional. The two originally had no grudge against Liu Yong, and they had a good relationship with the Huashan faction. It's just that in the stone cave, he suddenly became greedy, wanting to use Liu Yong's head to suppress the Huashan faction and improve the reputation and status of the beggar gang and the Songshan faction in the rivers and lakes. Unexpectedly, the mechanism was too smart, and in the end, it was just a bamboo basket to draw water, and for no reason offended the famous star-picking swordsman in the rivers and lakes. This matter is extremely difficult to get right, and it will be very troublesome in the future. Thinking of this, Deng Yao and Lin Yilang couldn't help but glance at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, their faces full of frustration.

When they left the stone chamber, they had picked up all the torches from the ground. Situ Qiao turned his head and said to everyone: "Everyone, please light all the torches, let's break into Yao Guangxiao's Jingxin Temple, and see what tricks this bastard has up his sleeve." ”

Deng Yao snorted and said, "If it was based on Mr. Zhu, there would be no need to go around in such a big circle, and he also killed four fellow Jianghu fellow Taoists." ”

Situ Qiao heard Deng Yao ridiculing himself again, so he naturally refused to take a break, and was about to sneer at each other, but heard Murong Danyan sneer: "Fortunately, we followed Mr. Situ for a while, and only then did we recognize the ugly faces of the two villains. If it weren't for that, I would think that these two people were decent heroes. ”

Lin Yilang's residual poison has not been resolved, and his body is sometimes like falling into an ice cave, extremely cold, and instantly it seems to be immersed in boiling water, and his whole body is extremely hot. By the time he arrived, his body was trembling slightly, and his teeth were rattling. It's just that he relies on his deep internal strength, and he barely pretends to be casual. After listening to Murong Danyan's ridicule, he didn't dare to refute it. Deng Yao raised his eyebrows, and was about to open his mouth to scold Murong Danyan. Suddenly found that there were two gloomy eyes staring at him, his heart sank, he turned his head to look, through the light of the torches that had been lit in everyone's hands, but saw Li Qiufeng holding the embroidered spring knife in his right hand, looking at himself. He felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he was definitely not Li Qiufeng's opponent, and he had seen this person kill people in the valley, which could really be said to be extremely fierce and ruthless. Deng Yao was forced by Li Qiufeng's gaze, where did he dare to open his mouth to scold, so he had to pretend to take out a fire fold and light the torch, avoiding Li Qiufeng's eyes.

Situ Qiao saw that everyone had already lit all the torches, so he said to Zhu Sanjia: "Old Zhu, let's partner with the two brothers and explore the way in front." However, before leaving, I also asked Lao Zhu to tell us about the situation in Jingxin Temple, so that we could be prepared. ”

Zhu Sanjia nodded, held a torch in his left hand, and said to Situ Qiao: "After leaving this cave, there is a stone bridge, and there is nothing strange on the bridge. After crossing the stone bridge, you will arrive at the temple gate of Jingxin Temple. Jingxin Temple is not big, after entering the temple gate is the courtyard, there are two wings on the left and right sides of the courtyard. The width of the main hall is no more than five zhang, and I don't know what the situation is in the hall and the side rooms. The ancestors of my Zhu family left a testament, and there were many institutions in the meditation temple, and there were many murderous opportunities. If future generations are in distress in the cave, they can temporarily take refuge in the meditation temple. However, after entering the temple gate, the temple gate must be closed, and the courtyard must be waiting, and it is absolutely forbidden to enter the wing room and the main hall, otherwise it will touch the mechanism and kill yourself. The ancestors of my Zhu family strictly adhered to the ancestral teachings, and they would never dare to step into the wing room and the main hall......"

At this point, he frowned slightly, and his voice became low. How alert Situ Qiao was, he immediately noticed that something was wrong. He shook his head and said to Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Zhu, it's not easy for us to get here now. If you hide it a little, you will waste your previous efforts and kill so many heroes in the rivers and lakes, how can you bear it?"

Zhu Sanjia's body trembled, and he glanced up at Situ Qiao, his face was cloudy. He is a straightforward man who was born not to be a fake. Seeing Situ Qiao approaching step by step, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. In this way, not only Situ Qiao knew that he had something to hide, but everyone else also knew that Zhu Sanjia had reservations in his words. It was because everyone was nervous and looked at Zhu Sanjia together.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Sanjia knew that if he didn't tell the truth again, everyone would be suspicious, which would be very unfavorable to him. I had to sigh and said, "There was an uncle and grandfather in my great-grandfather's generation who once disobeyed the ancestral teachings, and after entering the Jingxin Temple, he broke into the wing room without permission, and never came back......"

At this point, his voice trembled slightly. Everyone wondered in their hearts, what was so terrible about losing a person. was in shock, but heard Zhu Sanjia continue: "The elders of the same company have been waiting in the courtyard for twelve hours, and that uncle and grandfather have not appeared. The elders did not dare to enter the wing room to check, so they had to exit the meditation temple. After leaving the cave, I was walking in the valley when suddenly something fell from the sky and fell in front of everyone. The elders were startled and hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see that it was a person who fell from the top of the valley. It's just that the skin of this person's whole body has been peeled off, and his facial features have become blurred with flesh and blood, and he hasn't died for a while, and his mouth can't help moving. When the elders saw this man like this, they were frightened one by one. They looked around, but found nothing out of the ordinary. The bloody man on the ground had his limbs twitching, and the situation was terrifying. Later, an elder suddenly recognized that this bloody man turned out to be the uncle and grandfather who disappeared after breaking into the wing of Jingxin Temple. Because this uncle and grandfather were extremely stubborn when they were young, one day they teased a vicious dog raised by the neighborhood, and as a result, the little finger of his left hand was bitten off by the vicious dog. The bloody man's left hand lacked a little finger, and in terms of height and shape, it was very similar to that uncle's grandfather.

The elders examined it carefully, and finally confirmed that this bloody man was indeed the uncle and grandfather, and they were shocked and frightened one by one. There were no enemies around, and no matter how powerful the enemy was, they couldn't skin people so cleanly. It was because they believed that the uncle and grandfather did not abide by the ancestral teachings of the Zhu family, broke into the wing room without authorization in the Jingxin Temple, and was punished by God, so they ended up like this. When the elders thought of this, where did they dare to stay under the Tiger Head Rock, they hurriedly picked up the uncle and grandfather, who were no longer human, and fled in a hurry. It's just that before he returned home, his uncle and grandfather died of anger. When he was dying, he finally called out a word......"

When Zhu Sanjia said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "He shouted, 'The dragon is real', and then died of anger. The elders looked at each other, not knowing what the words of the uncle and grandfather meant when they were dying. In desperation, the elders had to take off their clothes, wrap up the body of their uncle and grandfather, and quietly move it home. The patriarch was furious and did not allow his coffin to be buried in the ancestral grave, but only used a thin coffin to contain his body and buried it in a mass grave. After this tragic incident, no Zhu family dared to disobey the ancestral teachings, and even when they went to the belly of this mountain to do things, they did not dare to go back to Jingxin Temple. ”

After everyone heard what he said, their hearts were all shocked. Some people suspect that Zhu Sanjia is exaggerating and don't believe it. Some people are afraid and secretly retreat.

Situ Qiao's expression was serious and thoughtful. Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Sanjia smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone, my old Zhu Ke has nothing to hide anymore. The ancestors of my Zhu family left a testament, and I don't think it will be a joke with my children and grandchildren. After we enter the temple, we must be careful, if we are not sure, the wing room and the main hall should not enter without permission. ”

Liu Yong nodded and said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Zhu has a straightforward temperament, and he won't deceive us in the future." He had been to the Jingxin Temple, and Mr. Situ was proficient in the news of the agency, so he asked the two of them to walk in front, if there was anything strange, everyone worked together, and there was always a way to break through. ”

Situ Qiao nodded and told everyone not to mess around, so he walked side by side with Zhu Sanjia, and everyone followed closely. After walking out of the cave, Zhu Sanjia stopped and said in a trembling voice: "No, this, this is not Jingxin Temple......

Everyone's hearts sank, and Situ Qiao said, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhu Sanjia looked frightened and was speechless for a while. After I got out of the hole, there was a small platform in front of me. The whole platform is half-moon shaped, and at the top of the cave is the stone arch bridge made of white marble. Although everyone was holding torches in their hands, they could only see the vault of the stone bridge, and they could not see what the opposite side of the stone bridge looked like.

I only heard Zhu Sanjia breathe a sigh of relief, and finally felt a little calm, and said to Situ Qiao: "The Jingxin Temple I went to, after walking out of the cave, is indeed a small platform, and then a white stone arch bridge. It's just that there is a crack in the stone under the bridge, and I don't know how deep it is. But look at here, beyond the platform is the pitch black, a little like the bottomless abyss we passed......"

As he said this, the crowd looked out of the platform. Sure enough, as Zhu Sanjia said, it was pitch black outside the platform, and when he shone it with a torch, he couldn't see anything, it was indeed an abyss.

When the people saw this, everyone was astonished. Situ Qiao laughed and said triumphantly: "I know that everyone is complaining about me in their hearts, blaming me for not leading you to follow Lao Zhu into the stone cave, and going around in a big circle in vain. Now you should understand? This is not the same place as the stone bridge that Lao Zhu walked on. The reason why Lao Zhu's ancestor died so miserably was that the Jingxin Temple he entered was fake. In order to confuse the world, Yao Guangxiao built a fake meditation temple and set up a killing mechanism in the meditation temple. If the people who enter the Jingxin Temple are honest, it is fine, as long as there is a slight change, it will invite death, and no one can know Yao Guangxiao's secret. Hehe, it's a pity that this old guy met me, because he didn't cultivate in his previous life. Today, Lao Tzu destroyed his meditation temple, dug up his body, and crushed his bones and scattered ashes. Haha, haha. ”
