Chapter 356
Zhu Sanjia saw Li Qiufeng's solemn face, but he was also shocked in his heart. Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, and said to Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Zhu, you said that there is a meditation temple in the secret passage, and there are extremely powerful mechanisms in it, I want to go and take a look, I wonder if Brother Zhu can lead the way?"
Zhu Sanjia was shocked, looked at Li Qiufeng, and was stunned for a moment before saying: "Li Gongzi, the ancestors of my Zhu family have left words, Jingxin Temple was built by Yao Guangxiao himself, and it is full of agency news, if you break in and touch the agency, there is no return......
Li Qiufeng didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately said: "But why did the ancestors of the Zhu family let their descendants take refuge in the meditation temple when they were in danger in the cave?"
Zhu Sanjia said: "Li Gongzi, according to what my ancestors said, if you encounter an accident in the cave in the future, you can temporarily enter the Jingxin Temple for refuge, which is indeed true." It's just that the ancestors said that when taking refuge, before entering the Jingxin Temple, you must first disconnect the killing mechanism in the passage at the entrance of the temple, and then you can enter the gate of the Jingxin Temple. It's just that after entering the temple, you can only wait in the courtyard, and you must not enter the main hall and the wings, otherwise the organ will be launched, and the jade will be burned, and the descendants of the Zhu family will die without a place to be buried, so be cautious. Li Gongzi, this sentence has been passed down from generation to generation in my Zhu family, and it has been passed down to this day, and it is definitely not a lie to intimidate......"
When Zhu Sanjia said this, his voice trembled slightly. Li Qiufeng saw that his complexion changed greatly, and naturally knew that what he said was true, but he remembered that with Yao Guangxiao's ability, since a temple had been built in this cave, there must be a great secret hidden in it. Qunhao is trapped here, the root cause is the party struggle in the imperial court, and behind the party struggle, there is the royal cannibalism. And all of this is inextricably linked to the Battle of Jingjing a hundred years ago. Although it was Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who launched the Battle of Jingjing, the mastermind who instigated him to raise troops and give advice for it, it was Yao Guangxiao, who was known as the "black-clothed prime minister". This generation of monks who are proficient in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism not only has insight into the world, but also has splendid articles in his chest, but also is a great master and master of martial arts. According to what the Zhu Sanjia said, since the ancestors of the Zhu family strictly ordered the descendants not to enter the Jingxin Temple, there must be secrets in it that Yao Guangxiao did not want to be known to the world. And this secret, for Li Qiufeng, has infinite magic, attracting him to find out.
Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, and said to the Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Zhu, there is one thing, I am afraid that I will offend the ancestors of the Zhu family......
Zhu Sanjia didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then said: "Li Gongzi, if you want to crack the Jingxin Temple, just go." ”
Li Qiufeng was stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Sanjia to guess his thoughts, and he was about to speak, but he heard Zhu Sanjia continue: "In fact, in the past few decades, I have also been thinking about whether keeping this cave is a good thing or a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty." In that year, King Yan raised troops and competed with Emperor Jianwen for the world, and the two sides went back and forth, fought for three years, and killed no less than three or four hundred thousand officers and soldiers on the battlefield. The southern army besieged Beiping, and the two sides fought more than ten battles, and the corpses of Beiping were all over the field, and there were no people within more than 100 miles. There were several times when there was no food in the city, and countless people died of starvation. After that, the northern army went south, burned and looted all the way, besieged Jinan, attacked Yingtian, and more than one million people died in the chaos. The royal family competed for the throne, what did it have to do with the people of the world? King Yan ascended the throne as the emperor and slaughtered the remnants of Emperor Jianwen. Most of these millions of lives were given away in vain. ”
When Zhu Sanjia said this, his heart was extremely excited, his voice trembled, and he paused for a moment, and then regained his calm slightly, and then said: "King Yan became the emperor, and he left this cave behind, and still let the Sha family and the Zhu family guard this place for generations. Although they were worried that the capital would be besieged by enemy troops, they left this place as the basis for the counterattack. It's just that in the past hundred years, it has never had a half-effect. Even though Yingzong hunted in the north that year, Wara entered the customs in a big way, and the court was in chaos, this Hutou Rock was still silent. If it weren't for Yu Shaobao's efforts to turn the tide, the Ming Dynasty would have already overturned. At that time, all the elites of the Ming Dynasty were destroyed in the battle of Tumubao, and most of the soldiers of King Qin were temporarily summoned by governors from all over the country, so how could they be the opponents of the Tartar soldiers who were in full morale and had sufficient food and grass? It can be seen that it is not only weapons, grain and grass that win the battlefield, but also the desire of the people. If the grain and grass hidden in this cave are occupied by wicked people with evil intentions, the world will be in chaos, and then the soldiers will be in trouble, and it will inevitably be a river of blood. Jingxin Temple was built by Yao Guangxiao, which naturally has the secret of this cave, and Li Gongzi's move is exactly what I want......"
Li Qiufeng couldn't imagine that Zhu Sanjia actually had such an opinion, and he was both surprised and admired in his heart, and couldn't help but say in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhu, your mind is really rare in the world. Compared with Brother Zhu, Li's vision is smaller. ”
Zhu Sanjia shook his head and said, "There is another layer of meaning, but it is my old Zhu's selfishness." More than 100 years ago, the ancestors of my Zhu family and the ancestors of the Sha family killed hundreds of craftsmen in this cave. Most of the officers and soldiers who guarded the craftsmen to build weapons were afraid that most of them would also die at their hands. Although the two of them were ordered by King Yan and Yao Guangxiao to do this, they were also guilty. In the past hundred years, although the ancestors of my family have not said it explicitly, they also know that they must be extremely remorseful in their hearts. Since I was sensible, I found that my father was depressed every day, and I also heard my mother say that he often woke up screaming in his sleep and woke up sweating profusely. He also built a Buddhist hall at home, and in the morning and evening he would burn incense and chant sutras, and sincerely repent. When I was young, I didn't know what he was doing, but as I got older, I gradually understood that his actions were to surpass the souls of the hundreds of craftsmen who died tragically at the hands of my ancestors of the Zhu family. My father's health has always been poor, but he couldn't stand his inner worries, and finally vomited blood and died, which is also the root cause. If we can destroy this cave and no longer make these heavy grains and grass a disaster for the world, it can be regarded as a good thing that my Zhu family has done for the people of the world, and maybe I can reduce a little bit of the sins made by the ancestors of the Zhu family back then!"
When he said this, he said to Li Qiufeng: "It's just that my old Zhu is a big old man, and he doesn't know any news, although he has been to Jingxin Temple a few times, but he has just walked around the courtyard, and I will never dare to step into the main hall and wings." That place, that place......"
When Zhu Sanjia said this, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and after a while, he said with palpitations: "Evil Sect!"
Li Qiufeng has never believed in any ghosts and gods, and when he saw Zhu Sanjia suddenly show a look of fear, he was quite amused in his heart, and thought to himself: "According to old legends, Yao Guangxiao is not only good at martial arts, but also very proficient in miscellaneous sciences such as medicine and astrology. As for the tricks of pretending to be gods and ghosts such as yin and yang gossip, that is his specialty. More than 100 years ago, he instigated King Yan to raise an army, and he used a lot of witchcraft methods to strengthen King Yan's heart to seize the throne. Since this meditation temple was built by him, it is not difficult to use his hands and feet in it to set up some mechanisms to pretend to be gods and ghosts. ”
Zhu Sanjia was about to speak, but when he saw Liu Yong coming over with the heads of Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng, Songshan and other factions, he stopped talking. Li Qiufeng exchanged a few words with several heads, but listened to Liu Yong say: "Brother Li, Liu and several heads have checked the grain stored in this cave, and it should not be difficult to cope with it for three or four days." It's just that we have three or four thousand people here, all gathered in one place, and it's not a good idea......"
Before his words fell, he only heard Lin Yilang, the head of the Songshan faction, laughing on the side: "Let's not talk about grain and grass, these three or four thousand people can relieve themselves, I'm afraid that this cave will be flooded!"
When everyone heard him, they all laughed. Liu Yong said: "Although Master Lin is joking, what he said is not a trivial matter. When three or four thousand of us get together, it is very easy to cause a plague. What's more, although the entrance of the cave is blocked by a stone gate, once the officers and soldiers bring firearms and blow the cave door open, I am afraid that it will be very disadvantageous to us, so it is better for us to find a way to leave this place as soon as possible. ”
After listening to Liu Yong's words, several heads looked at Li Qiufeng together. Li Qiufeng said: "As far as Li knows, in addition to the cave where we fled into, there are at least two exits in the belly of the mountain. It's just that one of them is located in Shajiabao on the top of Hutou Rock, and we can't retreat to Shajiabao unless we have to do it. Although the other is outside Shajiabao, it is said that the entrance of the cave is guarded by enemies, and on the way, there is a very dangerous hanging stone staircase, and one will fall into the abyss if you are not careful. If you want to force your way through, I'm afraid there will be casualties......"
Before his words fell, Xu Chenghe, the head of the Qingcheng faction, said: "We have three or four thousand people here, and there are no less than 100 first-class masters. We can pick forty or fifty masters and go out from the exit. Even if there are guards there, how can they resist the combined impact of so many masters? As long as the masters we send can support for a while, three or four thousand people will rush out at the same time, and they will definitely be able to kill a bloody path. ”
Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Li Mou also walked through that cave once, and the exit was extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass through. If the enemy discovers it, they will attack it in groups, and the friends in the rivers and lakes who rush out first will inevitably fall into a heavy siege. If the enemy holds the entrance to the cave, we want to support from behind, but it is extremely difficult to rush out. At that time, if the enemy destroys the entrance of the cave, or throws torches and hidden weapons into the cave, I am afraid that we will have to destroy all of us. ”
When the people heard him, they thought that this was indeed the truth, and for a moment no one spoke. Li Qiufeng saw the frustration on everyone's faces, and then said, "You don't have to worry. Although there were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers besieging us, they did not carry firearms, and they wanted to blow up the boulder at the exit, but they couldn't do it for a while. What's more, the army's grain and grass have been burned, and these tens of thousands of people have no food, and they are afraid that they will not be able to support it for even a day. Hutou Rock is located in the middle of barren mountains and mountains, and it is by no means possible for officers and men to raise military rations from the surrounding areas that can supply tens of thousands of troops, which can be done in one or two days. As long as the commander-in-chief of the officers and soldiers is not a madman, this army will certainly not stay here for long. Let's first recuperate in the cave, and then send a master to check the situation outside the cave. As soon as the officers and soldiers withdraw, we will kill the generals from the entrance of the cave. Masters like Yu Qingzi and Monk Guangzhi were rushed by everyone with all their might, but they could only escape, and other evil figures were not worried. You don't have to be anxious, Li estimated that it would not take more than twelve hours, and the officers and soldiers outside the cave would have to leave!"
