A knife in love

Chapter 401

By the light of the torch, Li Qiufeng saw the sarcasm on Situ Qiaochu's face at the beginning, but he just lowered his head slightly, glanced at his right hand, and the sarcasm on his face disappeared immediately.He knew that Situ Qiao was afraid of the Xiuchun knife in his hand, so he thought to himself: "This man behaves strangely, it's not easy to make him afraid. It's just good to make this man scruples, otherwise he will go crazy, I'm afraid It's hard to stop him."

Situ Qiao turned around, looked at the tall temple gate in front of him, smiled, and said, "Thinking about Yao Guangxiao standing here more than 100 years ago, I don't know if he would have thought that someone could break his illusion?"

Liu Yong and the others were slightly taken aback when they heard Situ Qiao's words.Chu Danyang said: "Mr. Situ, you say this temple gate is an illusion?"

Situ Qiao said: "Of course. This temple gate is fundamentally fake. No matter which gate you enter through, you will be guided by Yao Guangxiao."

As soon as he said this, the group of heroes couldn't help looking at each other, and finally Xu Chenghe said: "Could it be that we have fallen into a desperate situation again?"

Situ Qiao said: "How can there be any jeopardy in the world? Since we came here from Shengmen, we will definitely find a way. Although Yao Guangxiao has a clever mind, but he met me, I'm afraid he can only smile wryly."

After Situ Qiao finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and then said, "Except Mr. Liu and me, the rest of you, please put out the torches in your hands."

Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd. When they were about to ask, Liu Yong said, "Since we are here, we should follow Mr. Situ's orders."

Seeing Liu Yong speak, everyone had to extinguish the torches in their hands.The cave was deep and vast, and although everyone held more than a dozen torches, the range of light was quite limited.There were only two torches left in the hands of Liu Yong and Situ Qiao, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely dark.Everyone was terrified and secretly guarded.

Holding a torch, Situ Qiao said to the crowd: "Everyone, do you see any changes in the gate of the temple?"

Everyone looked towards the gate of the temple, perhaps because there were only two torches left, the gate of the temple looked much darker and seemed a little hazy.It's just that if there is any change, no one has noticed it.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Situ Qiao smiled and said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, please put out the torch in your hand too."

Liu Yong turned the torch upside down, poked it hard on the ground, and the torch went out immediately.

At this time, there was only a torch in Situ Qiao's hand left around.He slowly raised the torch and shook it gently in mid-air.

Just now Situ Qiao asked Liu Yong to extinguish the torch in his hand, the group of heroes thought that the torch in Situ Qiao's hand was weird, so they all stared at his dangling torch.Only Murong Danyan was always afraid of that temple gate, but he was very curious about it, so he hid behind Li Qiufeng and looked at the temple gate secretly.When everyone extinguished the torches in their hands, the gate of the temple was gradually hidden in the darkness, making it even more mysterious.After the torch in Liu Yong's hand was extinguished, Situ Qiao raised the torch in his hand and shook it left and right. Murong Danyan looked at the temple gate, his expression changed drastically, and he let out a scream.

Everyone was startled, Li Qiufeng stood in front of Murong Danyan, holding the Xiuchun knife tightly in his right hand, glanced left and right, but found nothing unusual.He turned his head and was about to ask questions, but he saw Murong Danyan shrunk behind Li Qiufeng with a horrified face, poked his head out from behind him, pointed at the gate of the temple and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, you, look at the temple. Why is there only half of the door left..."

Li Qiufeng turned his head to look, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.I saw that the lower half of the temple gate, which was originally extremely gloomy, had disappeared.Standing in front of everyone is only the upper half of the temple gate, hanging alone in the air.And at a glance, the remaining half of the temple gate seemed to be shaking slightly, the situation was extremely weird.

There was only a sound of "choking and clanging", but all the gang leaders and heads drew out their swords one after another, and took positions to guard against the enemy's sneak attack.

Among all the people present, except for Zhu Sanjia and Situ Qiao, everyone is a master of martial arts, and the momentum of drawing swords and swords is quite astonishing.

Situ Qiao sneered, and said, "Why are you all panicking? Then Yao Guangxiao knows something underground. Seeing that you are so panic-stricken, you will only laugh at your ignorance."

Holding a long sword in his hand, Liu Yong performed the opening gesture of Huashan swordsmanship.Seeing Situ Qiao's nonchalant appearance, he felt suspicious, and said, "Mr. Situ, why is there only half of this temple gate left?"

Situ Qiao said: "As I said just now, the gate of this temple is also fake. If you don't believe me, you can try firing a Zhentianzi at the gate of the temple."

Liu Yong put his sword back into its sheath, put the torch on the ground, took out a Zhentianzi, pointed it at half of the temple gate, pulled the rope with his right hand, and heard a "chi" sound, and a fireball flew straight out.

Everyone watched helplessly that Zhentianzi flew towards the gate of the temple, but when the fireball reached the gate of the temple, it did not explode due to the impact, but passed through the gate of the temple and continued to fly forward.After a while, the fireball disappeared suddenly, as if there was a big mouth behind the gate of the temple, swallowing the fireball.

Qunhao was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe his eyes.Liu Yong held Zhentian Zi in his hand, and stood there for a while, then said to Situ Qiao: "This, what's going on here?"

Situ Qiao said: "This temple gate is fake at all. What we see is just an illusion. The temple gate does not exist. That's why Mr. Liu's Zhen Tianzi passed through without any cover."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to step forward to check.Situ Qiao laughed and said, "The secret lies in the torches in everyone's hands. The torches are made of cotton and pine oil, and when lit, there will be oily smoke rising. It's just that the cave is extremely dark. The oily smoke is not enough. The phantom of the temple gate is reflected on the oily smoke. Just now I asked everyone to put out the torches, and the oily smoke decreased, and the phantom became extremely dim. After Mr. Liu also extinguished the torch, I will The torch was lifted up, and the oily smoke was reduced by half, and there was only a little oily smoke above our heads, so the size of the phantom that could be displayed was also reduced by more than half, and only the upper half could be displayed in front of everyone with the help of oily smoke."

What he said was so cloudy that more than half of the group of heroes could not understand.Situ Qiao knew that everyone was puzzled, he laughed and said, "Everyone just think that there is a mirror here to reflect this temple gate, but in fact this temple gate does not exist..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yong said: "Mr. Situ, if you see the gate of the temple in the mirror, doesn't it just mean that the shadow of the gate is reflected in the mirror, so the gate of the temple must exist?"

Situ Qiao said: "What I mean is that the real temple gate does not exist, what we see is just an illusion of the temple gate."

The more people listened, the more confused they became, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.Situ Qiao said: "Since the gate of this temple is an illusion, there must be a very powerful mechanism behind it. Everyone has seen the scene of Mr. Liu shaking the sky just now, and there must be a huge space behind the illusion, maybe it is bottomless The abyss, and there is no longer a passage. People who enter this cave, if they don’t know the power of this phantom and walk over rashly, they are afraid that they will fall into the abyss and it will be difficult to escape. Therefore, I want to find an escape from here To find the way, we must find the source of the phantom of this temple gate."

Deng Yao said anxiously: "You are looking for it! What is the use of mother-in-law and mother-in-law talking nonsense here?!"

Situ Qiao sneered and said: "Old beggar, if you don't understand, just say you don't understand, and if you use strong words, you can only say that you are stupid and ignorant!"

Afraid that the two would quarrel again, Liu Yong hurriedly stood between them and said to Situ Qiao, "Mr. Situ, we can't waste any more time. Please find the passage as soon as possible. Let's leave here as soon as possible."

Situ Qiao snorted and said to the crowd: "Please light the torches and see what I can do."

After everyone lit the torches, the surroundings were lit up again, and the temple gate in front of them returned to its original state.It's just that with Situ Qiao's reminder just now, when everyone looked at the temple gate again, they were a little more careful.After a closer look, it turned out that the gate of the temple was indeed somewhat blurred, as if it was printed on paper.

Situ Qiao pointed to the gate of the temple and said, "Did you notice it? The left side of the temple gate is relatively clear, while the right side is slightly blurred. If it is an illusion, the location of the real thing must be opposite to the degree of clarity."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked towards the right side of the temple gate in unison.Situ Qiao triumphantly held the torch and walked to the right, until the end of the walk, he bent down and searched carefully on the ground with the torch.After a while, Situ Qiao laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's here!"

When everyone heard what he had discovered, they hurried forward and gathered around Situ Qiao, holding up torches and looking towards the ground.These more than ten torches together immediately illuminated the front of Situ Qiao as bright as day.

On the ground in front of him, there was a temple gate carved out of bluestone.The gate of this temple is so exquisitely constructed that it is almost unreal, just like the gate of the temple that everyone has just seen.It's just that it's much smaller, less than half a foot high and more than a foot wide, just like the molds made by craftsmen before building houses.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, terrified in their hearts.Situ Qiao stood up and said to everyone: "This is the original shape of the temple gate, but there must be a mirror on the left to illuminate it, and that mirror is the key to this illusion."

After everyone heard this, they immediately split up and looked around.Situ Qiao shouted: "Don't you want to kill yourself? There are murderous threats here, and you don't know the mechanisms. Once you move your hands and feet and activate these mechanisms, none of us can escape!"

Everyone was startled, and immediately stopped in their tracks, each one of them dared not move as if their acupuncture points had been tapped.Situ Qiao ignored the crowd, held up a torch and searched around the small stone temple gate, and after a while, he saw him take out a stone from the darkness, and said with a smile: "This thing is really ingenious, it almost left eyes."

Everyone walked up to Situ Qiao tremblingly, only to see that the stone in his hand was only the size of a scroll, shaped like a goose egg, with a smooth surface and a deep blue color.

At this moment, Murong Danyan screamed again, saying: "The gate of the temple, the gate of the temple is gone..."

Everyone turned their heads to look, and there was indeed no trace of the tall temple gate, and all they saw was darkness.

Situ Qiao smiled and said, "I took out the mirror, and the phantom disappeared naturally. What's so strange about that?"
