Chapter 416
Li Qiufeng was thinking to himself, but he heard Liu Yong say to Deng Yao: "Gang Master Deng, did you light these candles?"
At this time, Deng Yao walked into the main hall about three or four steps away, with his back to everyone, his body stiff, as if someone had been holding the acupoint. Everyone stood behind him, not knowing why he looked like this, although they knew something different, but they couldn't see his expression, but it was difficult to deduce what was going on.
Li Qiufeng's eyes were like lightning, and he had already noticed that Deng Yao's posture was quite strange. I saw that his left shoulder was slightly lowered, and his whole body leaned towards the left front. Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and then he looked at his feet. found that Deng Yao's left foot actually fell into the ground. However, it is only about two inches in, and if you don't look closely, you won't be able to notice.
Li Qiufeng secretly stepped on the ground with his right foot, and then looked down at the bricks on the ground. He worked in the imperial palace in the capital for five years, and knew that the floor of the Fengtian Hall was paved with special gold bricks. The world calls these bricks "gold bricks", not that the bricks are made of gold. But because this kind of square brick is hard and fine, knocking it like metal, so it is called gold brick. In the past, Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing and built the Forbidden City. At that time, the world's skilled craftsmen were recruited to build a royal palace that far surpassed the emperors of previous dynasties. At that time, the Ministry of Works, which supervised the work, was not satisfied with the bricks used to pave the floor in various halls, and was recommended by the craftsmen of Suzhou Xiangshan Gang, and the bricks refined by the Suzhou Lumu brick kiln were favored by the Ministry of Works. The soil of Suzhou is delicate and colloidal, rich in plasticity, and the gold bricks made are hard and dense. Moreover, Suzhou is close to the Grand Canal, which is convenient for transportation, and can go directly to Beijing Tongzhou from the waterway. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu convened a meeting of the left and right attendants and the officials of the palace, and finally decided that the Suzhou brick kiln would refine the bricks laid on the floor of the palace for the palace. This kind of brick is extremely hard, the brick color is generous, Emperor Chengzu is very satisfied, and he gave Lu Mu brick kiln as the imperial kiln.
Li Qiufeng knew that this kind of brick was hard, and with Deng Yao's martial arts, it was definitely a fool's dream to step it into the ground. He was puzzled when he suddenly heard Situ Qiao sneering and said, "The old Huazi is beyond his strength, this is Yao Guangxiao's way." He stepped on the mechanism, and now he is riding a tiger. I advised everyone to stay away from him, lest when he was pierced by ten thousand arrows, the dirty and smelly blood in his cavity would splash everyone. ”
Everyone is not as alert as Li Qiuying. Except for Liu Yong, Qingfeng Daoren, Chu Danyang and a few others, the rest of the people did not notice that there was anything wrong with Deng Yao's feet. Hearing Situ Qiao say this, they all looked at Deng Yao's feet. When he saw Deng Yao's appearance of one foot low and one foot high, his face changed greatly. Three or four people were shocked, panicked for a while, and fled out of the hall one after another.
Liu Yong was reminded by Situ Bridge, first looked at Deng Yao's feet, and hurriedly stepped forward. It's just that he listened to Situ Qiao's words, and he didn't dare to hold it up, otherwise he wouldn't be able to save Deng Yao, and he would fall into the trap. He just went around to Deng Yao's side, and didn't dare to rush forward again. At this time, he found that Deng Yao was sweating profusely, and his face was extremely nervous. Liu Yong knew that something was wrong, and said to Deng Yao: "Gang Master Deng, what happened?"
Deng Yao said in a trembling voice: "After I walked into the hall, I walked three or four steps in the dark, and my left foot suddenly sank, and then the hall suddenly lit up. I was a little frightened, for fear that as soon as my left foot was raised, the mechanism would be triggered, and I didn't dare to move. ”
Liu Yong didn't know anything about the art of organ information, and when he heard Deng Yao say this, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to turn his head to Situ Qiao and said, "Mr. Situ, please come and take a look, can you help Gang Master Deng close down the agency?"
Liu Yong's voice fell, and before Situ Qiao could answer, he heard Deng Yao say sharply: "Mr. Liu, the old name Huazi is dead immediately, and you definitely don't want this bastard to help!"
Liu Yong's heart was stunned, secretly thinking about when this has come, you are still doing these battles of will, aren't you waiting to be sent to death? But you don't want me to save you, Lao Tzu wants to save your life!"
His voice fell, but he heard Deng Yao's "bah" twice, and said angrily: "Fuck off your grandma's stinky duck eggs! Lao Tzu doesn't need you bastard to save his life!"
Situ Qiao sneered: "If I don't speak, no one here will dare to save you." You just keep stepping on the bricks under your feet, only for two hours, your blood is not smooth, soreness and numbness, and after another two hours, even if you take your leg back, I am afraid that your left foot will be useless. At that time, the leader of the beggar gang became a one-legged jumper and spread out, what face do you beggars still have to fight in the rivers and lakes?"
Deng Yao knew that Situ Qiao was not lying and intimidating. At this time, he stepped on the brick with his left foot, and did not dare to relax at all, for fear that once he withdrew, the mechanism in the hall would be activated, and if there were casualties among the heroes, it would naturally be counted on the heads of the beggars. At that time, not only did his efforts to revive the beggar gang go down the drain, but the heads of the major sects in the rivers and lakes died in this hall, and he was the initiator, so he had to settle accounts with the beggar gang. Over the past hundred years, the beggar gang has become increasingly weak and has become a second-rate gang in the rivers and lakes. If it is because he killed the leaders and heads of the major gangs, and the people in the martial arts join forces, the beggar gang is in danger of overturning. Even if you put aside the survival of the beggar gang, if you are stubborn like this, it will not take four hours, only two hours to not move, and the blood will not run smoothly, and this left leg will definitely fall disabled. When the enemy comes to the door to seek revenge, he will definitely be humiliated, but he is afraid that he will not be able to survive and die.
Deng Yao thought about it for a while, but felt that there was no way out. For a moment, my heart was full of pain and remorse, and I thought to myself: "What a retribution! I have always been used to being competitive." If you can tolerate it a little, you don't have to ride a tiger like now!"
Situ Qiao saw that Deng Yao's face was cloudy, but he didn't continue to insult himself, knowing that he was already moved. It's just not to get in the way of face, and it's not good to pull down your face. He smiled at the moment and said, "It's always called Hanako, and I don't want you to accept my affection." I helped you for the sake of Mr. Liu's face. Our Situ family and your beggars have no grievances in the distant future, and there is no enmity in the near future. If you want to repay the favor, you can repay the Huashan faction and Mr. Liu. ”
When he said this, he turned his head and whispered a few words to Liu Yong. Liu Yong was shocked when he heard this, and seemed to glance at Situ Qiao with some surprise. Situ Qiao nodded to him, and then nodded at Deng Yao. Liu Yong's face was hesitant, and he finally made up his mind, and said to Deng Yao: "Gang Leader Deng, you can lift your feet as much as you can, and you don't have to worry about triggering the agency news." ”
Deng Yao was stunned and looked at Liu Yong in disbelief. Seeing Liu Yong's solemn face, which did not seem to be a fake, he thought to himself: "I stepped on the mechanism, and the candles in the hall were instantly lit, which shows that this mechanism is very cleverly designed." And such an ingenious mechanism can't be used to light candles, right? But why did Mr. Liu ask me to lift my feet, could it be that the Huashan faction had already wanted to destroy our beggar gang?"
Liu Yong saw that Deng Yao hesitated and didn't dare to raise his left foot, and immediately said in a loud voice: "Gang Master Deng, you can retreat." If you have any mistakes, Liu will compensate you with such a life. ”
After he finished speaking, he turned to Qunhao and said, "I, Liu Yong, swear here! If something happens to the leader of the Deng gang because of Liu's proposition, Liu is willing to pay him for his life." If Liu breaks his oath, the heroes of the world can attack him in groups, and Liu is not a hero if he frowns!"
Seeing that Liu Yong had made such a heavy oath, how could Qunhao still have any doubts? They all said to Deng Yao: "Gang Leader Deng, you just listen to Mr. Liu's words and take a step back first." ”
Deng Yao had no choice but to carefully lift his left foot. But when he heard a soft sound of "click", the gold brick that fell into the ground slowly rose, and after it was level with the surrounding gold bricks, it stood still.
When Deng Yao raised his feet, except for Situ Qiao, everyone in the group was extremely nervous, and they all drew their swords and waited for them. The gang leaders and heads who had just escaped from the main hall had just returned to the main hall with their eyebrows on their faces, but when they saw this situation, they were so frightened that they slipped out again.
It's just that after Deng Yao raised his left foot and took a step back, nothing unusual happened in the hall.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Deng Yao stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, hugged his fist to Liu Yong, and said, "Thank you Mr. Liu for your help, I am always grateful to Huazi." ”
Liu Yong hurriedly shook his head and said, "Gang Master Deng, you are ashamed to kill Liu." It was Mr. Situ who gave him the right advice, and Liu Mou didn't have any strength, and He Laodeng specially thanked the gang leader?!"
Deng Yao naturally refused to thank Situ Qiao, and covered up the past after a few words. Although Chu Danyang also dislikes Deng Yao, it is just a matter of the overall situation, and he must not anger Situ Qiao. It was he who hurriedly said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, how do you know that this organ will not harm anyone?"
Situ Qiao naturally knew that Chu Danyang wanted to divert the conversation, lest he have a dirty relationship with Deng Yao again. It's just that as the saying goes, "don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face", Chu Danyang is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, and talking to himself so low does give him a lot of face. It was Situ Qiao who was not as arrogant as Fang Cai, and smiled at Chu Danyang: "With Yao Guangxiao's ability, if he wants to kill the people who enter the hall without permission, and set up a few powerful mechanisms on the door at will, it will take great effort for us to enter this hall." It's just that as soon as Hanako stretched out his hand, the door of this temple opened. Then he accidentally stepped on the brick, but lit up all the hundreds of candles in the hall. Guys, don't you think there's a lot of weirdness in this?"
Lin Yilang said in a rough voice: "What's so strange about this? Maybe Yao Guangxiao has this temper, and if he wants to tease the person who broke into this underground palace and then execute him, it will be like a cat and a mouse......
Situ Qiao shook his head without waiting for him to finish speaking, and said in a deep voice: "If Yao Guangxiao is alive, there may still be such a possibility. It's just that Yao Guangxiao is dead, and he left these vicious organs to kill all the people who entered this palace. Do you think he really has that kind of leisure and wants to tease you when he has nothing to do?!"
