Chapter 552
Li Qiufeng, Yu Fan, and Situ Qiao saw that a strange light suddenly appeared in the old woman's eyes, but their hearts were all stunned, knowing that this was not caused by her injuries getting better, but just a return to the light before she died.
The old woman seemed to know that she had little time left, and said in a trembling voice, "Although I do not know you, but you have not been wicked in your behavior these two days. ”
She glanced at Li Qiufeng as she spoke, and there was a hint of excitement in her eyes. Then he said: "Xu'er is hidden in the nunnery in the back mountain of Wangmiao Village, if you find her, please send her to the Wuji Temple of Yuntai Mountain, and let her worship under the door of the master Yunxuan, which is enough to ensure her safety in her life." ”
When she said this, her right hand trembled and took out a palm-sized piece of jade Ruyi from her bosom, handed it to Li Qiufeng, and said, "You give this piece of Ruyi to Yunxuan Zhenren, she naturally knows what to do." ”
Li Qiufeng turned his head and glanced at Yu Fan, meaning that he wanted Yu Fan to take Yu Ruyi over. Yu Fan shook his head, and Li Qiufeng had no choice but to take Yu Ruyi and said, "The old man can rest assured." It's just that I don't know if Miss Huang is willing to go to Wujiguan. If she just wants to go back to the Huang family and doesn't want to go to Wujiguan, I don't know what to do with the younger generation?"
The old woman smiled sadly and said, "If Xu'er wants to stay in the Huang family, she won't escape from Xiuwu County with me." If she doesn't dare to go with you, you can show her this piece of jade Ruyi, and she will naturally understand. Although Xu Er was born in an official family, he is a hard-working child. I have nothing to worry about in this world, only this child, let me rest assured......"
When she said this, she raised her head suddenly, her eyes were shining, and she glanced around the faces of the four of them, and said word by word: "If you have evil intentions and harm Xu'er, I will be a ghost, and I will let you go!"
The hearts of the four of them sank, and they only felt a chill surging up from the soles of their feet. Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Although the old man can rest assured, the younger generation is fighting for his life, and he will send Miss Huang to Wuji Temple safely." ”
The old woman looked at Li Qiufeng and said slowly: "Okay, you are very good, then please leave it to you......"
Before the words fell, the old woman coughed twice, blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, the light in her eyes slowly dissipated, and she murmured, "Master, you are here to pick me up." When I didn't listen to you back then, it was a big mistake, not only did you not blame me, but you also came to ......."
She said this with a small smile on her face. But the smile froze on her face in an instant. I saw her head tilted, and her body slowly fell to the ground.
Li Qiufeng and the other four stood aside, watching the old woman exhale her last breath, and their hearts were all desolate. Even people like Situ Qiao, who have always looked down on life and death, have no heart and lungs, are also silent at this time.
I don't know how long it took, Li Qiufeng sighed, turned his head and said to everyone: "Although this senior didn't leave a name, listening to her must have a great relationship with Wujiguan. We have to bury her body alive and well, and in the future, when we meet the Lord of Wujiguan, we will tell the Wujiguan about the burial place of this predecessor in detail, and they will naturally choose the place to move the body of the predecessor. ”
Yu Fan nodded and said, "What the adults said is true." ”
Li Qiufeng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Mr. Yu, the word 'adult' is not mentioned." I carry the waist card of the brocade guard, just to make things easier. To tell the truth, it's no longer a brocade guard. ”
After he finished speaking, he saw that Yu Fan still had a little doubt on his face, and knew that he still had scruples about himself in his heart, so he continued: "I said last time that this time I went to Luoyang and met the two of them repeatedly, it was definitely not because I deliberately stared at the whereabouts of the two, it was purely accidental, and I asked Mr. Yu not to be jealous." In the past two days, I have seen Mr. Yu Ren chivalrous and righteous, although he is a person in the officialdom, he is a little more chivalrous than the chivalrous warriors of the rivers and lakes, and I admire him very much. ”
Yu Fan saw Li Qiufeng's intentions, but he was also a little moved, and said, "My lord's words are serious. ”
It's just that before he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "It's me who said it wrong, it's just that Jinyiwei's name is too prominent, and people can't help but respect it." ”
Li Qiufeng thought to himself, what you said was a bit too polite. When I heard the three words of Jin Yiwei, I was just afraid, how could I have any respect.
The three of them found a flat place in the pine forest and wanted to dig a pit to bury the old woman's body. At that time, it was a cold winter, the land was frozen, harder than steel, and there was no shovel in the hands of the three people, so it was extremely difficult to dig up the soil, but the steel grip of Situ Bridge was quite easy to use. Rao was like this, and after more than an hour, only a shallow tomb was dug out.
Li Qiufeng gently put the old woman's body into the tomb, and tore off a piece of cloth from the burden on her back, and carefully covered the old woman's face. The four men pushed the soil into the tomb and used a pillar of incense to bury the tomb.
Situ Qiao saw Li Qiufeng's expression gloomy, and said: "Brother Li, Wujiguan is not far from here, after we inform Wujiguan, they will naturally ...... this old beggar The old man chose another place for burial. It's because we're all simple, but we're worthy of this old man. ”
Li Qiufeng nodded, turned his head to look around, and said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, please borrow your steel to use." ”
Although Situ Qiao didn't know what Li Qiufeng wanted to do, he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to hand the steel grab to Li Qiufeng. After Li Qiufeng took the steel grab, he carved a palm-sized circle on the trunks of the two pine trees on the left and right sides of the tomb, and then handed the steel grab back to Situ Qiao, and said: "Engrave the mark, and when Wujiguan comes to move the body, it will be much easier." ”
The four of them left the pine forest and walked to the official road, and then stopped. Li Qiufeng said to Fan: "Mr. Yu, let's leave it at that." ”
He knew that Yu Fan was quite jealous of himself in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything polite like "there will be a period later".
Yu Fan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "If the two of you go to Xiuwu County in the future, let's talk about wine again." After finishing speaking, he arched his hand towards Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao, and then walked away.
Li Qiufeng watched the figures of Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi slowly disappear into a forest on the east side, and then turned to Situ Qiao and said, "Mr. Situ, what are your plans?"
Situ Qiao smiled bitterly, pointed to the burden on Li Qiufeng's body, and said, "Brother Li, we don't talk darkly, I think about this burden on you." If you don't give it to me, I'll go wherever you go. ”
Li Qiufeng smiled: "This is also true." You haven't made it clear to me about this matter, and I can't make up my mind whether I want to give you this burden or not. ”
Situ Qiao said: "I guess Brother Li is going to rush to the nunnery in Wangmiao Village right now, let's go together, along the way, I can tell Brother Li about the truth of the matter in detail." ”
Li Qiufeng said: "But how do we know where the nunnery in Wangmiao Village is located?"
Situ Qiao smiled: "It's not simple, let's find a village and ask." ”
The two of them had made up their minds, and they immediately walked north. After rounding the small hill, two forks in the road appeared in front of me. One road leads to the north, while another turns east. Not far from the fork in the road, by a small river, there is a low thatched house. There was an old man in front of the hut, picking up dead grass by the river.
Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao walked quickly to the old man, and said, "Uncle, where are you going from Wangmiao Village?"
The old man raised his head, glanced at Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao, and said, "If you want to go to Wangmiao Village, go down the road at the east end, and after crossing the Dajia Mountain, you can see Wangmiao Village." ”
When he said this, he paused slightly, and then said: "But I heard Zeng Laosan, who rushed to the market, said that there was a thief in Wangmiao Village last night, and the arrest of the county yamen is investigating the case. I listen to the accents of the two of you, it looks like a foreigner, so it's better not to go there. Otherwise, if you see an outsider in the village, you will definitely be arrested and tortured and interrogated by the county government. When that time comes, if you have no money, fear that your lives will not be saved. ”
After Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao said goodbye to the old man, they immediately walked onto the east side of the avenue. It was already afternoon at this time, but there was not a single figure on the avenue. Situ Qiao said as he walked: "It seems that the old man is not deceiving us. Thinking that Wangmiao Village was really catching people, the villagers from all over the country were afraid of causing trouble, so they hid at home and did not go out. ”
Li Qiufeng said: "Nine times out of ten, these catchers are here to find Miss Huang, and the villagers don't know what happened, but there are thieves." We have to hurry there and take Miss Huang to Wujiguan. If you are arrested, find Miss Huang first, but I am afraid that things will be a little troublesome. ”
Situ Qiao nodded and said, "Brother Li, we haven't finished talking yet." That day, I found the formation diagram hidden in Yao Guangxiao's body, and after studying it carefully, I realized that Yao Guangxiao, a bastard, was indeed a master. He not only understood the mystery of Zhuge Wuhou's Eight Array Diagrams, but also reversed the Array Diagram and deduced the deleted parts of Zhuge Liang. It turned out that the military array that drove the ghosts and gods to kill people had to borrow the Yin Soul and turn into Yin soldiers. By using a spell to attach these spirits to the bones, they can be turned into skeletons. These skeletons are invincible, and no one in the world is invincible......"
When Situ Qiao said this, Li Qiufeng couldn't help but say: "Ridiculous! Do you really think that monks chanting mantras and Taoist priests drawing talismans can drive away ghosts and gods?"
Situ Qiao said: "Brother Li, I don't know how many unexplainable things there are in the world. Zhuge Wuhou's wisdom is a thousand times better than ours, if this array is fake, how can he go to great lengths to study it carefully? Not to mention that the eight array diagrams are not fake, this is enough to prove that it is absolutely not absurd to use military arrays to drive ghosts and gods to kill people. ”
Li Qiufeng heard him say solemnly, but he didn't believe it in his heart, but he couldn't refute it for a while. Just thinking about it, I heard Situ Qiao continue: "After I looked at the formation map, I remembered the underground palace we saw in the cave under the Hutou Rock, in the illusion, and the skeleton soldiers in front of the palace, and guessed that Yao Guangxiao not only wanted to use the skeleton army formation to deal with Zhu Di, but he also harbored evil intentions and wanted to use this formation to achieve another purpose for him." ”
When Situ Qiao said this, he turned his head to look at Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, you are on an errand in Jinyiwei, do you want to know what the emperor's greatest wish is?"
