Chapter 689

Li Qiufeng and the others heard the red-robed man mention the "Skeleton King Temple", and their hearts were all in shock. The old man surnamed Liu and his two sons who were sitting by the window also changed their faces, and they couldn't help but look at the red-robed man. Only the monk Xuanji sat on the stool with his eyes slightly closed, as if he didn't pay any attention to the situation in the store.

The old man heard the red-robed man ask about the "Skeleton King Temple", he just smiled slightly, and said, "The Skeleton King Temple is extremely yin, what is the uncle going to do there?"

The red-robed man said: "I was entrusted by a friend to go to the Skull King Temple to make a wish for him. ”

His voice fell, but he heard the rough young man "poof" and smiled, and said: "The world is so big, there are no surprises, and there are people who make wishes on their behalf." I'm afraid that if this wish is not returned, it will be fine, and after it is returned, it will provoke the gods and Buddhas to blame, and it will have to cause the next disaster. ”

Previously, this rough young man was extremely rude to the red-robed man, and the four green-robed people had long looked at him unpleasantly. At this time, seeing this kid sneering again, his heart was furious. It's just that the two blue-robed people were reprimanded by the red-robed people for hitting Xiao Er and reprimanding the old man surnamed Liu respectively, and the four of them didn't dare to refute it at this time. They just pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords and glared angrily at the rough young man.

The old man didn't care, and said, "The Skeleton King Temple is next to Skull Mountain, not far from here. The skeleton king enshrined in the temple is said to be Zhao Kuo, the commander of the Zhao army during the Changping War, and he was extremely angry. Since the temple was built, very few people would go there to burn incense and make wishes. Uncle's friend is a little strange, how can he make a wish in the Skeleton King Temple?"

The red-robed man said: "My friend passed by here three years ago and encountered a strongman cutting the path, and all the entourage around him died at the hands of the strongman. In a panic, he fled into the Temple of the Skeleton King. At that time, the strongman was in hot pursuit, bent on killing my friend. Hiding behind the statue of the Skeleton King, his friend made a wish in his heart that as long as he could get out of the great disaster, he would reshape the golden body of the Skeleton King. It is also strange to say that those strong men can chase in front of the gate of the Skeleton King Temple, and in an instant, a heavy fog fell from the sky, and they couldn't see their fingers. The strong men only said that the skeleton king appeared, and they were so frightened that they scattered as birds and beasts. The friend was afraid that these strongmen would be ambushed outside the temple, so they waited in the temple for a full day before they left the temple gate, and where was there still the shadow of the strongmen? The friend did not dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly left the Skeleton King Temple and rushed back to his hometown in Jinyang. It's just that this fright is really not light, and after the friend returns home, he is seriously ill, and when he recovers, he has to comfort the family members of those who died in Changping. After such a toss, more than half a year has passed. When he wanted to return to this place to make a wish, he received an order from the imperial court to go to Liangzhou to do business. He had an official position, so he naturally had to follow the order, so he had to pack his luggage and go to Liangzhou to take office. Now that the three years are about to expire, if you don't return the wish you made back then, I'm afraid that the gods will blame you. so that he could repair a letter and ask me to come here and make vows on his behalf. ”

After hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "I see." Although I live here, I have only been to the Skull King Temple once. Therefore, according to legend, the head mountain is the place where the Beijing view was built after the white rose to destroy the Zhao army, and hundreds of thousands of human heads were buried in the mountain, which was named the head mountain, which is the most cold place in the world. The skull king temple is dedicated to Zhao Kuo, the commander of the Zhao army, who is injustice, and even borrowed the resentment of hundreds of thousands of human heads in Skull Mountain, which can be said to be extremely fierce. Even in the daylight when the sun is shining, the left side of the Skeleton King Temple is still cloudy and windy, and there are few people. After the sun sets, there is often a black fog around, if someone accidentally steps into the temple, they will be swallowed by the black fog, and the bones are gone, and the end is extremely powerful. ”

Everyone listened to the old man's account of the horror of the Skeleton King Temple, and everyone's hearts were shocked. The red-robed man nodded and said, "Since the old man knows where the Skeleton King Temple is, please tell me how to get there." ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at a blue-robed man sitting opposite. The green-robed man hurriedly stood up, took out a silver ingot from his bosom, walked quickly to the old man, put the silver on the table, and then retreated. The ingot of silver was cast in the shape of an ingot, and it looked like it was more than five taels.

When the old man saw the silver, he smiled and said, "Why do you need to give a heavy gift for some small things? ”

After he finished speaking, he picked up the silver, walked to the red-robed man, put the silver on the table, and said, "After you leave Taibaiju, go to the right along the avenue in front of the door, and after walking for half a mile, there is a fork in the road that turns to the left. Walk a mile along this fork in the road and you will see Skull Mountain. Don't go up the hill along the main road, and when you see three big pine trees, turn to the right and go about half a mile, and you can see the temple gate of the Skull King Temple. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he staggered back to the table and sat down. At this time, Xiao Er had already made him a cup of tea, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Everyone is here, it's time to go." ”

Li Qiufeng heard this old man say such a sentence without a head or brain, and his heart was stunned, and he didn't know what he meant by this. Just as I was in a state of surprise, the aroma of yellow rice wafted from the back hall. I only heard the old man say: "This yellow sorghum rice with herring tofu is a rare delicacy in the world." Now the rice is half-cooked, wait a little longer, and we can feast on it. ”

Li Qiufeng smelled the aroma of rice, and his mind was confused for a while, and he thought to himself: "The aroma of this yellow sorghum rice is so strong, it's a little weird." ”

In confusion, Li Qiufeng only felt that his eyelids had become extremely heavy. On this day and overnight, he and Situ Qiao, Sun Guangming, and Su Yan ran around, experienced many hardships and dangers, and fought a big battle with the Xuanji monk, which can be said to be exhausting. At this time, fatigue welled up, and I just wanted to find a place to sleep. I listened to the old man's words, but his eyes were a little hazy, and there seemed to be a thick wall between him and the old man, and even the sound became blurred.

I don't know how long it took, Li Qiufeng was startled, and suddenly woke up from his daze. saw Situ Qiao, Sun Guangming and Su Yan sitting around the table, all of them with blank expressions. There was no change in the surroundings, but the little two had already brought the wine and food.

Li Qiufeng's face turned red, and then he realized that he had just taken a nap. It's just that looking at the appearance of Situ Qiao and the others, I think that I haven't lost my temper. The aroma of wine and food wafted over, and the belly immediately "cooed".

Situ Qiao and the others were already hungry, and when they saw that the wine and food were served, how could they bear it? After a few humble words to each other, they immediately picked up chopsticks to drink and eat food. At this time, the wine and food were also set on the table of the Liu father and son, and the three of them whispered a few words to the monk Xuanji, and then they also ate and drank.

The red-robed man didn't call for wine and food, and when he saw that Li Qiufeng and the old man surnamed Liu and others had already opened their mouths to chew, he immediately stood up, hugged his fists at the old table, and said: "Today, we will receive more guidance from the old man, we still have important things to do, so let's say goodbye first." ”

After he finished speaking, he nodded to the old man surnamed Liu, and then walked towards the door. The four green-robed men followed closely behind him, each pressing the hilt of their swords with their hands, and when they were looking forward to it, they were very arrogant. That little second has suffered from the people in the green robe, and I wish these plague gods would get out of the way as soon as possible. Seeing the five people leaving, he was overjoyed, sent the five to the door, and said a few polite words. All I could hear was the sound of horses' hooves in the yard, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves was out of the yard.

When the little second saw the five people leaving, he spat fiercely, and cursed in his mouth: "You bastard who doesn't know whether you live or die, run to Gaoping to spread wild, and sooner or later let the resentful spirits here take you away!"

At this time, Shopkeeper Hu walked out of the inner hall, and saw that there were five people missing, but he didn't care, but said to Xiao Er: "What are you standing in a daze at the door, why don't you clean up the table soon?!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Qiufeng and the others intentionally or unintentionally. As soon as Li Qiufeng met his gaze, the shopkeeper turned his head to the side. Li Qiufeng only felt that there was a deep meaning in the eyes of the shopkeeper Hu, but he couldn't understand what he meant.

At this time, Situ Qiao and the others had already eaten the food cleanly. Sun Guangming patted his stomach and said, "Since we have sacrificed to the Five Organs Temple, we should also go on the road?"

Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao had no objections, and after the four of them cleaned up, Sun Guangming called the little two and said, "Do you know how to get to Gukou Village?"

As he spoke, he took out more than a dozen copper coins from his arms and handed them over, and the little second saw that the shopkeeper Hu was writing with a pen in the counter, and did not pay attention to himself, so he quickly took the copper coins, held them tightly in his hands, and said to Sun Guangming: "After you get out of Taibai Ju, go to the right along the avenue in front of the door, and after walking out for half a mile, there is a fork in the road that turns to the left front." Walk a mile along this fork in the road and you will see Skull Mountain. Don't go up the hill along the main road, and when you see three large pine trees, turn to the right and go about half a mile to Taniguchi Village. ”

After Xiao Er finished speaking, Sun Guangming was shocked, and Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao were also shocked. The path that Xiao Er said was the same as the old man telling the red-robed man about the route to the Skeleton King Temple, and even the tone of his voice was somewhat similar to that of the old man. It's just that the last sentence is slightly different. What the old man said was "When you walk out of about half a mile, you can see the temple gate of the Skeleton King Temple", while Xiao Er said that "when you walk out of about half a mile, you can see Taniguchi Village".

The four of them looked at each other, not knowing if this little two was deliberately entertaining everyone.

Li Qiufeng turned his head to look at the table next to him, but he was taken aback when he looked at it.

I saw that the table was cleaned up, where was the shadow of the old man?

Situ Qiao and Sun Guangming saw that Li Qiufeng's face had changed greatly, so they also followed his gaze. When the two of them saw the old man disappear suddenly, they were also shocked.

Situ Qiao has a perverse temperament, and when he listened to the little two speak, he was already displeased in his heart. At this moment, seeing the old man disappearing out of thin air, he only said that the old man and Xiao Er were making ghosts, and he became annoyed. I saw that his figure flashed, and he had already grabbed to the side of Xiao Er, and his right hand was as fast as lightning, and he had already grabbed Xiao Er's left wrist and buckled his vein. That Xiao Er didn't know martial arts, how could he be Situ Qiao's opponent? I only felt a sharp pain in my left wrist, and half of my body was sore and unbearable, and I fell to the ground softly, and my mouth screamed in pain.

Situ Qiao sneered: "Boy, what the hell are you and that old guy messing with, why don't you tell Lao Tzu?!"
