A knife in love

Chapter 428

Everyone was startled by the sudden lightning and thunder, and they all raised their heads to look at the ceiling of the hall.However, at some point on the ceiling, clusters of misty clouds appeared. The clouds collided with each other, there were faint flashes of lightning, and there were strange sounds of "chi chi" from time to time.

Zhu Sanjia tremblingly said: "Damn it, I have seen a ghost! Why is it going to rain in this hall?"

Before he could finish his sentence, another flash of lightning flashed across the clouds, followed by the sound of thunder. Although the sound was not very loud, it could be said to be astonishing in this hall.Everyone's hearts tightened, and their faces changed drastically.Liu Yong said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, is this also a mechanism?"

Situ Qiao was also panicked, and said in a trembling voice: "I haven't seen a mechanism that can create thunderbolts and lightning..."

Li Qiufeng found that most of the main hall was already occupied by cold air, and the area occupied by the heat wave from the fireball was getting smaller and smaller.The flames and the cold air met and collided with each other, and the cold air turned into mist, rose and gathered towards the ceiling of the main hall, and slowly formed countless clouds, covering the algae well.At this time, the hole at the top of the canopy was no longer visible, and when I looked up, it was full of clouds.From time to time, bright or dark lightning flashed in the clouds, which looked extremely strange.

Murong Danyan leaned tightly on Li Qiufeng's body, and said tremblingly: "Inside this hall, it's like a small world, with wind, rain, thunder and lightning, it's possible that Yao Guangxiao created a universe and wanted to trap all of us here ?”

Before she finished speaking, another flash of lightning flashed in front of her eyes.This flash of lightning was much stronger than the previous ones. Caught off guard, everyone felt that their eyes were full of light, and they couldn't see anything for a while.After a while, there was only an earth-shattering thunder, which shook the glazed windows on the front of the hall to rattle non-stop.

Murong Danyan screamed, plunged his head into Li Qiufeng's arms, and said tremblingly, "Brother Li, I, I'm afraid..."

At this time, Li Qiufeng was just able to see the situation in front of him clearly, but after the thunder, hundreds of candles on the wall of the hall suddenly went out at the same time.And the ball of fire also shrunk rapidly, slowly disappearing on the gold brick.It's just that the four fire lines that spread out still surround the platform in the center of the hall, but the fire is far less intense than before.As the candlelight was extinguished, the fire weakened, and the big hole broken in the ceiling was covered by clouds again, so the hall immediately became dark.Although everyone gathered together, they could only see shadowy figures among each other, and could not see each other's faces clearly.

Li Qiufeng was hugged tightly by Murong Danyan, he was at a loss for a while, afraid of touching Murong Danyan's body, he had to open his hands, as if raising his hands to surrender.Since entering the main hall, Li Qiufeng's right hand has never left the Xiuchun knife at his waist. At this time, due to the situation, he had to let go of the handle of the Xiuchun knife temporarily.

At this moment, a figure slowly appeared from the wall behind the throne.Qunhao are all martial arts masters, and they were immediately startled that someone appeared.Liu Yong drew out his long sword with his right hand and shouted, "Who is it?!"

The figure seemed to be slowly walking over from the wall, and when he got behind the throne, there happened to be another flash of lightning between the two cloud clusters on the ceiling, instantly illuminating the hall like daylight.It's just that the lightning lasted for a very short time, and disappeared after a while, and then there was another dull thunder above everyone's heads.

It's just that at the moment when the lightning struck, everyone had already seen the appearance of that person clearly.

He saw that the man was very thin, with no hair on the top of his head, his face was full of wrinkles, and there were a few short black and white beards under his chin.He was wearing a black robe and a string of beads around his neck. He turned out to be an old monk.

Although the old monk had wrinkles on his face, judging from his age, he didn't seem to be very old, but his face was sad and looked a little old.

Liu Yong and the others saw the old monk appearing suddenly and walking without making a sound. This lightness skill is very remarkable.It's just that I don't know whether this person is an enemy or a friend when he appears here, so everyone is on guard to prevent this person from hurting others.

Liu Yong saw the old monk walking up to the platform lightly, and he was about to reach the side of the throne, so he said in a deep voice, "Liu Yong from Huashan sect, may I ask senior Gao's name."

But the old monk walked forward slowly as if he didn't hear anything.When Liu Yong saw that this person stepped onto the platform, he neither jumped up nor walked up the steps, but walked up the platform step by step as if his feet were stepping on an invisible ladder.Everyone is a knowledgeable person, seeing the old monk showing his martial arts, everyone's face changed color, and they thought to themselves that they had heard of Taxue Wuhen's light body kung fu, but compared with this old monk's flying in the air, the world All lightness skills are far behind.

Just as the old monk stepped onto the platform, another figure appeared on the throne.The figure was blurry at first, but soon became clear. Later, a man wearing a yellow gauze crown and a yellow robe was seen sitting upright on the throne.

When Li Qiufeng saw this man's attire, his expression changed drastically.He recognized the yellow gauze crown as Yi Shan crown.In the Ming Dynasty, the Yishan crown was loved by the world, and officials, scholars and people all liked to wear this kind of hat.It's just that yellow is exclusive to the royal family, and neither officials nor common people dare to wear the yellow Wing Shan Crown to show off in the market.Moreover, Li Qiufeng has been working in the palace for a long time, so he naturally knows that the yellow Yishan crown is woven by skilled craftsmen with gold thread, there is only one crown in the world, and it is the one worn on the head of the emperor in the Beijing palace.

Li Qiufeng was terrified and stared at the man on the throne.I saw this man had a Chinese character face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and three long beards under his chin, his appearance was extremely majestic.Li Qiufeng was on duty in the Wuying Hall in the palace, so he naturally knew Emperor Jiajing, but the man in front of him was mighty and majestic, definitely not the emaciated Emperor Jiajing.

Li Qiufeng's thoughts changed sharply, but for a moment he couldn't figure out who was so bold that he dared to pretend to be the emperor here.Inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhu Sanjia standing next to him, his face ashen, his body shaking like chaff, his eyes staring blankly at the throne.He was startled, thinking to himself why Big Brother Zhu had such a look on his face, could it be that he knew this person pretending to be an emperor?

Li Qiufeng thought about this, and whispered to Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Zhu, do you know this person?"

Zhu Sanjia's eyes were dull, and he said in a trembling voice: "Young Master Li, you, haven't you seen that he is wearing black clothes?"

"Black clothes?" Li Qiufeng was taken aback, "You mean that old monk?"

Only then did Zhu Sanjia turn his head, his eyes were full of horror, and he said to Li Qiufeng: "Look at his eyes..."

Li Qiufeng didn't know why Zhu Sanjia felt like seeing a ghost when they saw the old monk. Hearing what he said, he turned his head to look at the old monk.At this time, the old monk had already walked to the side of the throne, only three feet away from the crowd.Although the inside of the main hall was extremely dark at this time, the "moon" light in the hole at the top of the main hall shone through the clouds, which happened to illuminate the surroundings of the throne brightly, so Li Qiufeng could see the old monk clearly. face.I saw that the old monk's eyes turned out to be triangular in shape, his complexion was sallow, and he looked like a sick man.It's just that the look in the triangular eyes is full of coldness, which makes people feel fear when they look at it.

Li Qiufeng looked at it for a while, then turned to Zhu Sanjia and said, "I don't see anything wrong with him..."

Zhu Sanjia trembled and said: "In the past, King Yan defeated Yingtian, ascended the throne and sat in the palace, and granted Yao Guangxiao the title of Zuo Shanshi, the monk recorder, and participated in government affairs. Yao Guangxiao wore court clothes during the day and returned to the temple at night. He wears a black monk robe, so the world calls him the 'Prime Minister in Black'..."

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he said to Zhu Sanjia: "You say this person, this person is Yao, Yao Guangxiao?"

Zhu Sanjia nodded and said: "According to the legend left by my ancestors of the Zhu family, when Yao Guangxiao visited Songshan Temple in his early years, he happened to meet Yuan Gong, a great fortune teller, and asked Yuan Gong to meet him. Yuan Gong said, you The monk's face is so weird. If you talk about bones, you are lucky to be a prime minister, but your eyes are like triangles, your face is like a sick tiger, and you lack a third of the luck in the yang world. You are cruel by nature and love to kill. I'm afraid it's Meng Yuan. Liu Yinzhong was reincarnated at that time. Yao Guangxiao laughed loudly after hearing this, and said to Yuan Gong, if he could avenge his old friend, he would kill all the people in the world, and it would not be a pity. Mr. Li, look at the appearance of this black-clothed monk, Is it the same as the legendary Yao Guangxiao?"

Li Qiufeng turned his head to look at the old monk in black, feeling extremely shocked.

The old monk walked up to the man on the throne and bowed slightly.The man stood up with a smile on his face, raised his right hand falsely, and signaled the old monk not to be too polite.The old monk stood up straight and put his hands together, as if to say something.The man on the throne had a smile on his face at first, but the smile gradually disappeared, and then he was a little embarrassed, and finally showed a look of boredom.When the old monk was speaking, he kept clasping his hands together and lowering his eyes to the ground, so he couldn't see the man's expression clearly.Later, the expression of the man on the throne changed, and he smiled again.It's just that Li Qiufeng felt that there was a murderous intent hidden in his smile, and his heart couldn't help but shudder.

The man on the throne smiled and said a few words to the old monk, which seemed to comfort him.The old monk bowed again and again, as if expressing his gratitude to the man.The man nodded with a smile, and lightly swung his right hand twice.I saw another figure appearing on the wall behind the throne, walking towards the two of them.

This person walked not slowly, and after a while, he walked to the right side of the throne.I saw this man wearing a black gauze crown on his head, a big red robe, and a jade belt around his waist.This person has a fair face and looks to be only in his twenties. He is holding a square plate in both hands, and on the plate are a wine jug and two cups.

When Situ Qiao saw this person, he couldn't help but screamed.Everyone was startled, and all looked at Situ Qiao.But he saw that his face was ashen, his body was trembling, and he said in a trembling voice: "This man, this man is Zheng He..."

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.Zheng He was born at the time of Emperor Chengzu, nearly a hundred years ago.Situ Qiao had seen the bones of this person in the secret room of the main hall of Dabaoen Temple, and he set fire to the hall when he fled. Zheng He's bones must have been burned to ashes by the fire, so how could they appear in this dark underground again? ?

Zheng He walked up to the two with the square plate, knelt down on both knees, raised the square plate above his head, and dedicated it to the person on the throne.The man picked up the jug, filled the two wine glasses, picked up the two glasses of wine with his own hands, and handed one of the glasses to the old monk.The old monk took the wine glass respectfully, put it in front of his eyes for a moment, then put it to his lips.

Liu Yong and Taoist Qingfeng had already noticed that in this moment, the old monk's left little finger tapped lightly in the wine.It's just that he moved extremely fast, and held the cup with both hands, with his right hand blocking in front of his left intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was afraid that that person would discover his movements.

Li Qiufeng naturally also saw the old monk's movements, and he thought to himself: "The man on the throne has malicious intentions, but this old monk is not completely defenseless. He tapped the wine with his little finger just now, so it is natural for him There is medicinal powder hidden in the fingernails, and it is necessary to check whether the wine is poisonous. Brother Zhu said that the man in black is Yao Guangxiao, and Situ Qiao thinks that the man in red is Zheng He, and the remaining one wearing the crown of golden silk wings is naturally Chengzu Zhu Di. These three people died seven or eighty years ago, how could they appear here again?"
