Chapter 333
Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "I don't know why that person is hiding under the mist, but looking at his appearance, it seems that he is climbing upward......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Sanjia shook his head like a rattle, and said, "Li Gongzi, this is absolutely impossible. Others, Lao Zhu, don't know, your Li Gongzi's martial arts are so powerful, if you want to climb up along this stone wall, I'm afraid you can't do it. Is there anyone in the world who is better than you?"
Li Qiufeng said: "I slapped this person, although I don't know the number of his martial artists, but this person's internal strength is extremely strong, and he has to have twenty or thirty years of skill." My internal strength is far less pure than his, and in terms of internal strength alone, this person is only afraid that he is not under the Guangzhi monk of the Putian Shaolin Temple and the Yuqingzi of the Wudang faction who forced us into the cave. But fortunately, thanks to this person's internal strength, I was able to borrow the power of his palm and jump up from the cliff!"
Murong Danyan was stunned all the time, and said in a trembling voice at this time: "In this cave, there are strange things everywhere, could it be that there are some demons and monsters hiding here?"
As soon as she said this, Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia were silent. Murong Danyan continued: "Brother Li, do you think there are monsters here?"
Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "The theory of ghosts and gods is ultimately slim. Although there are some things in this cave that are difficult to explain, they belong to the power of ghosts and gods, and I am afraid that it is not necessarily the case......"
Before he could finish speaking, Murong Danyan hurriedly said: "If there is no power of ghosts and gods, how can the boulder at the entrance of the cave be opened and closed?
Li Qiufeng said: "This is not necessarily true. In fact, I just heard Brother Zhu say that there is a rapids in the belly of this mountain, and I vaguely know why Yao Guangxiao chose such a place as the important place for the supply of armament, grain and grass for King Yan's army......"
"Why?!" Before Li Qiufeng's words fell, Murong Danyan and Zhu Sanjia asked in unison.
Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Because in the belly of this mountain, there is such an underground river with such a turbulent flow!"
At this time, the torches in the hands of Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan had been lost in the abyss outside the stone steps, and only Zhu Sanjia still held a torch in the stone room. It's just that the three of them have been walking in the cave for several hours, and the pine oil on the torch has been burned out, and the fire is getting weaker and weaker. After passing through the suspended stone steps, the wind in this small stone chamber was much weaker than before. It's just that although the flame on the torch is no longer as swaying as before, it is also trembling slightly, reflecting the faces of the three of them uncertainly.
Li Qiufeng glanced at the torch and said to Murong Danyan and Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Zhu, Miss Murong, this torch is about to burn out, let's talk while walking." ”
Zhu Sanjia said: "What Li Gongzi said is right, although it is not far from the exit, but if this torch is extinguished, it will be quite inconvenient to walk in this dark hole." Come with me, let's talk as we go. ”
The three of them walked forward again, and Li Qiufeng said, "I was on an errand in Jinyiwei......"
As soon as he said a word, Zhu Sanjia suddenly stopped, turned around, glared at Li Qiufeng and said, "You, you are Jinyiwei?"
Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "Not bad." It's just that it's not anymore. ”
Zhu Sanjia muttered a few words vaguely, but he didn't know what he said. Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Zhu, I was on an errand in Jinyiwei, but I was entrusted by others, and I didn't handle any cases. Now that I have rebelled out of Jinyiwei, I am afraid that Jinyiwei has ordered the Criminal Department to issue a sea arrest document and arrest me as a key criminal all day. ”
Only then did Zhu Sanjia breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Li Gongzi, to be honest, I have never been afraid of anyone in my life, but I am really afraid of Jinyiwei. When I was in the barracks, I saw with my own eyes that the general of the Jinyi guard said to take it, that kind of majesty, hehe, hehe. ”
Murong Danyan snorted and said, "Fortunately, Brother Li is not really on an errand in Jinyiwei, otherwise, with his martial arts and wisdom, I don't know how many good people will die in the hands of Jinyiwei." ”
Li Qiufeng was embarrassed, so he had to cough a few times to hide his uneasiness, and then continued: "When I was on an errand in Jinyiwei, although I didn't have the responsibility of detective, I also watched Beizhen Fusi handle cases. Among them, there are several major cases of theft and excavation of mausoleums, and the circumstances of the cases are extremely tortuous. Among those mausoleums, there is a lot of information about the organs, and the most powerful thing is the jack stone that blocks the tomb door, which cannot be opened by man. There are also masters who are proficient in the organs in the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, and after some investigation, they know that these organs are using the underground river where the mausoleum is located, with the rotation of wooden wheels, and borrowing the power of flowing water to lift or lower the thousand catties of stone. It is said that this craft was passed down by the ancient craftsman class, but as for the truth, Li did not know. Just listen to the words of the master who is proficient in the mechanism in the Jinyi Guard, borrowing the power of the wooden wheel transmission, one person can also lift a thousand catties of heavy objects. Therefore, according to legend, Yao Guangxiao is not only a master of interpretation, but also a master of martial arts, and he is proficient in the art of organ information, and has the unpredictable ability of ghosts and gods. He chose this place as the place where King Yan's army stockpiled military rations and equipment, and he must have used this underground river to drive the news of the mechanism, so as to isolate the connection between Hutou Rock and the outside world, so that King Yan's strategy would not be known to outsiders. ”
Zhu Sanjia said: "When Gongzi Li said this, I remembered it. The meditation temple below seems to have been built by Yao Guangxiao. The temple is full of organs, and if you are not careful, you will be killed. I just relied on the words left by my ancestors and led my subordinates into the courtyard of Jingxin Temple, but as for the wing room and the main hall, I didn't dare to step into it. ”
Li Qiufeng said: "Since it was built by Yao Guangxiao, there must be something strange in it." Brother Zhu, you haven't finished talking yet, after the ancestors of the Sha family and the ancestors of the Zhu family arrived at Hutouyan, what happened?"
Zhu Sanjia slapped his thigh and said, "If it weren't for Gongzi Li's reminder, I would have forgotten about this conversation." After the imperial court's decree was issued, the Sha family and the Zhu family moved to Hutouyan. The Sha family built Shajiabao on the top of Hutou Rock Peak, and my Zhu family lived in Lijiatun, which was nominally the head of Shajia Grange. The ancestors of the two families knew that Emperor Chengzu was extremely suspicious, so he had no contact on weekdays, but if there was a major event, the most reliable children of the two families would exchange news.
"When Yao Guangxiao built the cave in the belly of this mountain, he left two secret passages. One enters from Shajiabao at the top of Hutou Rock Peak, which is the secret road we have to take. The other is the entrance to the valley. Grain and grass were brought into the cave from the entrance in the valley and then stored in different stone chambers. There is a mechanism in the stone room, if someone moves the grain, grass and ordnance, a pine tree will fall on the top of the mountain, and our brothers on the mountain near the left of Lijiatun will find out. It was when I found that the pine tree had fallen that I arrived with a dozen brothers to check on the situation. Originally, I wanted to enter the cave from the valley, but before I reached Hutou Rock, I found that a large number of officers and soldiers gathered at the foot of the mountain, so I went around to the peak of Hutou Rock and entered the cave from the secret passage on the mountain. However, according to Mrs. Sha, the ancestors of the Sha family must have dug another tunnel in their old mansion in case of emergency.
"After the Sha and Zhu families moved to Hutouyan, although this place was deserted, it was just that there was no open and secret fighting in the capital, and the life could be regarded as free. The Sha family guards the peak of Hutou Rock, and my Zhu family regularly changes the grain, grass and food in the cave every year. It was extremely cold in this cave, and the rice, flour, and bacon were put in, and it would not rot for at least half a year. In the past hundred years, except for the change of the civil fort in the Yingzong Dynasty and the siege of Beijing by the Wara army, Shajiabao was ready to open this cave, and there was no chance to use the grain, grass and ordnance in the cave......"
When Zhu Sanjia said this, Li Qiufeng's mind flashed, and he couldn't help but let out an "ah", which startled Zhu Sanjia and Murong Danyan. Murong Danyan said, "Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Sanjia was in his heart, and secretly thought, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Li Qiufeng said: "I finally know why Liu Sheng Zongyan wants to win over Shajiabao. I originally thought that he borrowed an alliance with Shajiabao to use Shajiabao's position in the martial arts and the imperial court to facilitate the work of the Liusheng clan. It's just that now it seems that what he wants is not the manpower of Shajiabao, but the grain, grass and ordnance in the belly of Hutouyan Mountain. After the battle between Sha Yiming and Yan Wuji, Sha Yilu took control of Shajiabao, and Yanagi Zongyan joined forces with Sha Yilu to make Shajiabao an important place for the Liusheng clan to ambush on the left side of the capital. Over the years, maybe he didn't know where the secret place left by Yao Guangxiao was, or maybe he already knew where this cave was, but he didn't have the opportunity to use it, so he left it until now......"
Before he finished speaking, Murong Danyan said: "Liu Sheng Zongyan shouldn't know the secret of this cave yet, otherwise when we fled into the cave, that old bald donkey and old miscellaneous hair would have already followed in." ”
Li Qiufeng was right to think about it, and turned his head to Murong Danyan and said, "Miss Murong is thoughtful, admire, admire." ”
Murong Danyan smiled proudly and said, "Brother Li, don't treat me as a straw bag. When it comes to wisdom and wit, my brother is not as good as me. When we explore the rivers and lakes together, you will know how powerful I am!"
At this moment, I only heard Zhu Sanjia say: "We have arrived at the entrance of the cave." ”
The three of them stopped, and under the light of the torches, they saw that the tunnel had come to an end, a slope extended upward, and there was a small stone gate three feet away. Zhu Sanjia walked up the slope quickly, groped for a moment on the stone wall next to the stone gate, and seemed to push hard a few times. Only the sound of "rolling" was heard, and the stone door opened to one side, revealing a hole. Zhu Sanjia turned his head to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan and said, "Let's go out." ”
The three of them rushed out, but they saw that the sky was full of stars, and it was already late at night. After leaving the hole, Li Qiufeng turned his head and glanced around, and couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that this place was next to the stone archway outside Shajiabao on the summit of Hutou Rock, and the entrance to the cave was behind a huge rock on the side of the road. Zhu Sanjia stretched out his hand and lifted it a few times under a rock next to the stone gate, and the stone gate closed again, and there was no trace of it anymore.
Li Qiufeng looked at the four big characters of "Baishi Liufang" written by Emperor Chengzu himself on the stone tablet workshop, and thought to himself: "A few days ago, I also stood under this stone archway, and when I think about it at this time, it is like a world away." When will the grudges and vendettas in the world, the struggle for fame and fortune come to an end?!"
