Chapter 460
Zhu Sanjia has a rough temperament, and he is not like Liu Yong and others who are martial arts heroes, and they have many concerns when they say and do. Seeing that everyone was silent, he said loudly: "How can you know what is behind this ghost temple when you stand in the hall? ”
Murong Danyan said: "What Brother Zhu said is right. Since there is no secret passage in the meditation temple, we can't give up easily. ”
When she said this, she turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, what do you think?"
Li Qiufeng nodded and looked at Liu Yong again. Liu Yong said: "What Mr. Zhu said is right. We have gone through all the hardships to come here, so how can we be willing to go back like this? It is better to cross the meditation temple and see if there is any other way out. ”
Chu Danyang and the others also nodded yes. The crowd rushed out into the courtyard. Situ Qiao did not walk out of the main hall, but stood at the door of the hall and sneered: "This meditation temple is surrounded by a bottomless abyss, and there is only a stone beam connected to the stone arch bridge. Go out and trespass, beware of falling into the abyss, and then no one will be able to save you. ”
Seeing that Situ Qiao refused to leave the main hall, everyone had some doubts in their hearts, for fear that he had found a secret way to escape from this place in the main hall, and he would leave everyone behind and escape on his own. It's just that Deng Yao and Lin Yilang didn't want to deal with Situ Qiao anymore since they knew that the Situ family was very related to Emperor Jianwen's relics, so although they were suspicious in their hearts, they didn't speak. Liu Yong, Qingfeng Daoren, Chu Danyang, Xu Chenghe and others respected their identities, so naturally they would not directly accuse Situ Qiao of having other plans. Murong Danyan was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, sneered, and said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, why don't you leave the main hall?"
Situ Qiao said: "I also want to check Yao Guangxiao's body." I have made an appointment with Mr. Liu, and when we arrive at the Meditation Temple, we will take what we need. You are looking for a secret way to escape, and I want to find the diagram of the Great Star Array. ”
When he said this, he said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, what I said is right. ”
Liu Yong had indeed made this agreement with Situ Qiao in public before, and in front of everyone's eyes, he naturally refused to break his promise. nodded at the moment, and said to Murong Danyan: "Since we have made an agreement with Mr. Situ, let him go." ”
Murong Danyan said: "Mr. Liu, I want to ask for the general's order, stay in Jingxin Temple, accompany Mr. Situ, and see what he finds." ”
When her voice fell, Situ Qiao's face changed greatly, and he said to Murong Danyan: "Are you trying to spy on me?"
Murong Danyan sneered: "Yes, I really want to spy on you. If you find any formations, don't worry, I won't snatch them. But if you have any other plans, ask my sword to see if it agrees. ”
When Murong Danyan said this, he stretched out his right hand and pulled out his long sword with his backhand. Under the light of the torch, the long sword was like a pool of autumn water, and the sword body flashed with cold light.
Everyone originally didn't want Situ Qiao to stay alone in the main hall. At this time, seeing that Murong Danyan wanted to stay and monitor Situ Qiao, they couldn't ask for it. Only Li Qiufeng was a little uneasy, and he wanted to speak. Murong Danyan glanced at him, nodded slightly, and signaled that Li Qiufeng didn't have to worry. Li Qiufeng saw that she was confident, but it was not easy to say anything. Zhu Sanjia knew that Li Qiufeng was worried that Murong Danyan would lose, so he said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, my old Zhu doesn't know how to do light skills, and I am most afraid of coming and going. After a while, the heroes will jump on the roof to take a look, and I can't help, so it's better to stay here and accompany Miss Murong. ”
Li Qiufeng was overjoyed after hearing this. He knew that although Zhu Sanjia's martial arts were not high, they had been in battle for a long time and were extremely alert. With him accompanying Murong Danyan, it is enough to deal with Situ Qiao. It was to hug his fists at Zhu Sanjia and say, "Then there is Brother Lao Zhu." ”
Everyone stood in the courtyard and looked around, only to see that behind the main hall and the wing room, it was pitch black, and they didn't know what the situation was. Liu Yong said to Chu Danyang: "Master Chu, Master Xu, bother the two of you to go to the left and right wings to inspect respectively, if there is anything strange, please remind the two of you immediately." ”
Chu Danyang and Xu Chenghe nodded their heads, jumped to the left and right wings respectively, and held torches to take a closer look. Liu Yong, together with Li Qiufeng and Qingfeng Daoren, jumped onto the roof of the main hall to check if there was anything abnormal behind the main hall. As for Deng Yao and Lin Yilang, although Liu Yong did not turn his face with the two, he also had a dislike and did not want to deal with the two, so he did not tell the two to do things, and let the two decide how to act for themselves.
Li Qiufeng, Liu Yong, and Qingfeng Daoren performed light skills and jumped onto the roof of the main hall, holding torches to the back of the main hall. But he saw that it was dark behind the main hall, and although he was holding a torch, he couldn't see what was going on behind the main hall. The three of them looked at each other, and doubts rose in their hearts. Qingfeng Daoist whispered, "This is a little strange. Whether there is something or not, there is always some clue when the torch shines past. Why is the darkness so intense in front of me that it seems to suck in the light of a torch?"
At this moment, the voices of Chu Danyang and Xu Chenghe came from the roofs of the wings on the left and right sides almost simultaneously: "Strange, why can't you see anything?"
Li Qiufeng and the other three immediately knew that the back of the wing rooms on the left and right sides was the same as the back of the main hall, and they were all shrouded in this strange black. The three of them thought of the black stone beams on the bottomless abyss, which could indeed absorb the light of the torches, and their hearts were all shocked. Qingfeng Dao people had an idea, took out a secret weapon flying locust stone from his bosom that he had been practicing for many years, and with a flick of his right hand, he hit the boundless darkness in front of him.
I only heard a sharp "whoosh" sound, and the flying locust stone shot out. The three of them watched as the flying locust stone sank into the darkness in front of them, as if it had been swallowed up by an invisible mouth, and they didn't even make a sound.
The three of them were shocked, because if there was a black stone wall in front of them, the flying locust stone would definitely make a sound when it collided with the stone wall. Moreover, when the Qingfeng Dao people sent out the flying locust stones, their hands were already filled with internal force, and the force was extremely great. If the locust stone hits the stone wall, there will also be a spark burst. It's just that the trio neither heard the sound nor saw Mars. In this way, there can only be one reason, and that is that behind the boundless darkness in front of us, there is a huge space. The flying locust stone had already flown far away, so they didn't know where it had fallen, and the three of them naturally couldn't hear the sound.
Liu Yong listened attentively for a moment, and then said to Qingfeng Daoist and Li Qiufeng: "Dao Chief, Brother Li, I'm afraid that behind this Meditation Temple, there is also a bottomless abyss, and we can't move forward." It is better to go to the wings on both sides, and meet with Chu and Xu to see if there is a feasible passage. ”
Li Qiufeng and Qingfeng Daoren nodded yes, and the three of them went to the left and right wings one after another. Qingfeng Dao people used flying locust stones to probe, and found that more than ten zhang behind the wings on the left and right sides was a black mountain wall. Between the wing room and the mountain wall, there is a bottomless abyss.
The five jumped back into the courtyard with their heads down. Zhu Sanjia and Murong Danyan were originally standing at the door of the main hall, staring closely at Situ Bridge. At this time, seeing everyone jumping from the roof, the two came forward. Murong Danyan said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, Situ Qiao just checked the two corpses, Brother Zhu and I stared at him and didn't find anything he found from the corpses. Situ Qiao also seemed to be a little depressed, but he didn't give up yet, and still circled around the corpse. ”
Li Qiufeng glanced at the hall, just as Murong Danyan said, Situ Qiao was walking around the two corpses with a torch in his left hand. By the light of the torches, you can see that his face is full of anxiety, his eyes seem to be about to burst into flames, and his mouth is still muttering something to himself from time to time.
Li Qiufeng told Murong Danyan and Zhu Sanjia what he saw on the roof. After hearing this, the two of them also showed disappointment on their faces. Li Qiufeng smiled bitterly: "It seems that we have to go back." ”
Murong Danyan and Zhu Sanjia knew that Li Qiufeng was depressed, but they couldn't comfort him, so they had to be silent. Li Qiufeng discussed with Liu Yong and the others again, and finally decided to leave the Jingxin Temple, return to the cave where Qunhao was first, and then think of a way to get out. After making up their minds, the group was ready to go. Liu Yong saw Situ Qiao walking around the hall, and immediately said loudly: "Mr. Situ, let's go back the same way, will you go with us?"
Situ Qiao seemed to be deaf, still surrounding the two corpses to examine them carefully. In desperation, Liu Yong had no choice but to say to everyone: "Mr. Situ is proficient in the art of organ information, so he stays here alone, but it is not a big problem. Let's leave first and join up with the group as soon as possible. ”
Everyone nodded yes, and at that moment, Liu Yong and Zhu Sanjia should lead the way, and the rest of them followed closely. When Kankan walked to the front of the temple, Li Qiufeng suddenly said: "Strange, where did Deng Yao and Lin Yilang go?"
Only then did everyone find out that Deng Yao, the leader of the beggar gang, and Lin Yilang, the head of the Songshan faction, did not go along. Liu Yong recalled that when he jumped from the roof to the courtyard with Li Qiufeng and others, he didn't see Deng and Lin. Li Qiufeng said to Murong Danyan and Zhu Sanjia: "Miss Murong, Brother Zhu, you stayed in the courtyard, have you ever seen where Deng Yao and Lin Yilang went?"
Murong Danyan and Zhu Sanjia glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Murong Danyan said: "Brother Li, after you and Mr. Liu and Master Chu went up to the wing room and the roof of the main hall, I and Brother Zhu entered the hall and stared at Situ Bridge tightly, for fear that he would do something and not pay attention to the situation in the courtyard. I remember that when I entered the hall, Deng Yao and Lin Yilang were still standing in the courtyard, and the two seemed to be whispering something. Later, I just kept an eye on Szeto Bridge and didn't pay attention to where they went......"
Chu Danyang said: "When we returned to the courtyard, these two people were gone. Could it be that they had a dislike for us, and they didn't say goodbye and left the Jingxin Temple first?"
Murong Danyan said: "These two people are not right, and it is a good thing that they don't walk with us. I was always uncomfortable looking at these two people, as if I were seeing two poisonous snakes. ”
Liu Yong shook his head and said: "Although Gang Master Deng and Master Lin are jealous of me, after all, the two of them are the leaders of famous and decent families, but they can't think about it for a while, and they won't do anything against chivalry." It's not bad for them to leave first, but we also have to go back as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid that something else will happen. ”
Chu Danyang and the others naturally knew what Liu Yong meant by this. This trip broke four gang leaders and heads including Tang Lingfeng, the head of the Kongtong faction, and these four people are all well-known figures in the martial arts, and it is extremely difficult to appease their disciples. Deng Yao and Lin Yilang have already turned their faces with Liu Yong, and if they meet with Qunhao first, it is very likely to sow discord, which is extremely unfavorable to Liu Yong and the Huashan faction. Only by catching up with Deng and Lin as soon as possible will they not dare to make trouble in front of Qunhao. It was because everyone didn't dare to delay, so they led Liu Yong and Zhu Sanjia and walked straight to the outside of Jingxin Temple.
