A knife in love

Chapter 476

Li Qiufeng just saw the white snake that broke in from the cave with his own eyes. Although the thickness of the snake's body is not as good as that of the big cave, it is more than twice as thick as the green snake.So after hearing Murong Danyan's words, Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "I just saw that white snake. It was indeed as Mr. Liu said, it was so big that it was unbelievable. It can only be said that the world is so big that there are no surprises." Miss Murong, do you still remember the tiger Ah Er beside Madam Sha?"

When Murong Danyan and Li Qiufeng mentioned Tiger Er, his heart shuddered.She went to Shajiabao at night, ran into the old house of Sha's family by mistake, and met Mrs. Sha and Sha Zhongyu, Sha Yiming's posthumous son.When I saw that tiger Er for the first time, it was like being in a dream.That Ah Er's body is more than three to four times larger than an ordinary tiger, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he believe that there is such a fierce beast in the world?This Hutou Rock is full of weirdness, so it is not surprising that there are two strange snakes in the belly of the mountain.

At this time, Zhu Sanjia was walking in front of Murong Danyan.Holding the torch in his left hand, Murong Danyan said as he walked, "Brother Zhu, this Hutouyan has a beast like Ah Er, and there are two giant snakes like this. It can be called a treasure land of geomantic omen. You live here so much." For many years, I have absorbed the essence of the world, the sun and the moon, and I will definitely become a great master of martial arts in the future!"

Zhu Sanjia knew that she was joking with him, so he laughed and said: "Hutouyan is such a place of geomantic omen, not to mention the poor mountains and bad waters. I have lived here for nearly 40 years. Here Although it is not far from the capital, the wind and rain are not favorable. Sometimes there will be heavy snow in May and June, and there will be constant freezing rain in the twelfth lunar month of winter. If half of the crops can be harvested, it can be regarded as a good year. But the strange thing is that as long as you leave Hutouyan within ten miles, you will find a prosperous town, which is a treasure land with good weather. Although it is said that the weather is different for ten miles, sometimes there are lightning, thunder, and strong winds here at Hutouyan, but when you leave This place is several miles away, and there are thousands of miles of clear skies. Do you think it’s strange? Alas, if the ancestors of the Zhu family hadn’t been tricked by that bastard Yao Guangxiao and trapped here for nearly a hundred years, I, Old Zhu, wouldn’t want to live in this ghostly place.”

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "But thinking about it carefully, Hutouyan is so strange, I'm afraid Yao Guangxiao did something wrong back then. He made the place miserable, with frequent strange things, so there is nothing wrong with it." People who dare to come and live here just keep the secrets they hide in the belly of Hutou Rock."

Murong Danyan said: "But even if Yao Guangxiao has supernatural powers, he is a human being after all, not a god, so how can he change the movement of the sun, the moon, and the seasons?"

Zhu Sanjia was at a loss for words, and after a while, he sighed, and said: "Yao Guangxiao is not an ordinary person! He is half human and half ghost, and most of them are related to Zhuge Liang, Xu Maogong, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, and Liu Ji and Lord Liu of this dynasty. Ordinary strange people. These people are familiar with the cycle of life and death, and have some methods of handling Yin and Yang, which are naturally beyond our imagination."

Murong Danyan was about to speak, but Li Qiufeng said behind her: "I am afraid that someone can change the seasons with the theory of the five elements."

Murong Danyan was startled and said: "Brother Li, have you ever seen someone with such supernatural powers?"

Li Qiufeng said: "When I was on duty in Jinyiwei, I once saw Shao Yuanjie praying for rain. After he issued the command talisman, within two hours, there was lightning, thunder, and heavy rain..."

After hearing this, Murong Danyan and Zhu Sanjia were very curious.But I heard Li Qiufeng say: "It was the first time I saw Master Shao praying for rain, but I was also shocked. I thought to myself that this man has great powers and can take over the creation of heaven and earth. Isn't he a fairy-like figure? It was only later that I found out that the emperor wanted to When Master Shao prayed for rain, he didn’t always agree. When he didn’t want to pray for rain, he would reason that after praying to Haotian God, the god would either reply to the people’s grievances, or say that the court was immoral. Even if he prayed for rain, there was no result, so as to dispel the emperor's request for him to pray for rain from the sky. But before Zhenren Shao promised to pray for rain to the god, he would disappear mysteriously for a few days. Later, I heard from a colleague in Jinyiwei that However, Shao Zhenren has set up five-element arrays in several Taoist temples near the capital to observe the sky. When it will rain, he has already made up his mind. Yao Guangxiao is a strange person who is born in the world, and his methods are even better than Shao Zhenren. Look at the traps he has set up in this cave, if he can change the season of Hutou Rock with the Five Elements Formation, I'm afraid he can do it."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he suddenly thought of the two giant snakes, and continued: "The two giant snakes we met, and the tiger Ah Er who was bred in Shajiabao, are different from ordinary beasts. I'm afraid it's because Yao Guangxiao hid some strange medicine in this mountain cave, or he intentionally used this medicine to feed these ferocious beasts, turning them into strange beasts to guard the secrets in the belly of the mountain for him. It may also be These medicines are accidentally eaten by snakes, tigers, etc., which makes their bodies so huge..."

Before Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he suddenly heard the faint sound of water coming from ahead.His heart trembled, and he thought to himself that Situ Qiao was really powerful. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he guessed the pattern in the mountainside very well.At this time, the three of them noticed that the people walking in front quickened their pace, so the three of them stopped talking and walked forward quickly with torches in their hands.

Everyone walked dozens of steps along the tunnel, and there was no shadow of the wooden wheel around, but the sound of the water was much louder.The water vapor in the tunnel became thicker and thicker, until the clothes on his body were wet from the water vapor.After turning around a stone wall, only the rumble of water can be heard, and the momentum is astonishing.

Everyone quickened their pace and walked another five or six zhang, and it suddenly became clear that they had reached the exit of the tunnel.The opening of the hole here suddenly expanded more than ten times, so I felt a bright spot.

When everyone walked to the entrance of the cave, they found that the entrance of the cave opened on a stone wall like a chiseled axe, and beyond the entrance of the cave was an abyss that could not see the edge.About twenty or thirty feet below the entrance of the cave is the confluence of two swift rivers.These two rivers rushed to this point, one left and one right, and when they met, they collided with each other and splashed a large amount of water.After the two rivers merged into one, a larger river was formed, roaring and continuing to rush forward.It's just that there is a cliff more than thirty feet away from the confluence.The river fell straight down from the cliff, forming a huge waterfall.The river rushed down, and the water vapor permeated the cave, which made one's heart palpitate at a glance.

The reason why everyone can see this dark underground world so clearly is because there are fluorites all over the stone walls of the cave here.These tiny fluorite lights gathered in one place, making the cave bright.Everyone stood on the cliff, seeing the magnificent scene of the river rushing under their feet, they were all dumbfounded, completely forgetting where they were.

I don't know how long it has passed, but I heard Situ Qiao say loudly: "See? There are many wooden wheels on the edge of the waterfall. There is the root of all the mechanism's operation. Yao Guangxiao is really a good bastard, and I don't know him What method was used to install the wooden wheels in such a dangerous place. Presumably hundreds of thousands of lives were lost in order to install these wooden wheels."

Amidst the sound of rumbling water, although Situ Qiao yelled at the top of his voice, it was still somewhat indistinct when heard by everyone.

Liu Yong, however, had a worried expression on his face, and thought to himself: "At first, I thought the end of this tunnel was the river, but I didn't expect the exit to be [-] or [-] feet away from the river below. The rock wall is extremely steep. On the river bank below, that is absolutely impossible."

He was about to ask Situ Qiao if there was any way to get everyone out of here, when he suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly.He was terrified, and immediately looked back.But Taoist Qingfeng, Li Qiufeng, Chu Danyang and others also turned their heads to look at the way they came from.He knew that these people also noticed that the situation was wrong, and immediately felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

At this moment, there was only a bang, sand and stones splashed at the exit of the tunnel when everyone came, and a huge white snake head rushed out of the tunnel.Immediately after the white snake's head protruded from the tunnel, it was raised high, and the blood-red snake's eyes were full of viciousness, and it even made an attacking posture.

Except for Li Qiufeng, no one else had ever seen this white snake.Although Situ Qiao and Liu Yong met the white snake face to face, it was only in the blink of an eye.At that time, the two only felt that the snake's head was huge, but they didn't see its detailed appearance clearly.At this time, the snake's head was only two or three feet away from everyone, so everyone could see it clearly. Only then did they know that Liu Yong and Situ Qiao were absolutely not lying. There really was such a huge and terrifying white snake in the world.

It was too late to say it, and when everyone was shocked, the head of the white snake had already pounced down from the air, and the huge snake's mouth opened, biting straight at Situ Qiao, Liu Yong and Chu Danyang who were standing at the entrance of the cave.The three of them performed lightness kung fu and dodged to the left and right respectively. Although the white snake's pounce was extremely fast and fierce, it also missed.

Li Qiufeng and others saw that the situation was not good, they jumped up one after another, jumped onto the stone walls on the left and right sides, and pressed their bodies against the stone walls, feeling extremely terrified.It's just that Zhu San's family doesn't know lightness kung fu, they saw the crowd rushing out of the cave like big birds and hiding on the stone wall.He was the only one left standing in front of the white snake, feeling a chill in his heart, knowing that he was no longer lucky, so he had to close his eyes and wait for death.

After the white snake flew into the air, its gaze became even more vicious, and the snake raised its head again, only to see Zhu Sanjia standing alone at the entrance of the cave.The white snake opened its huge mouth and bit Zhu Sanjia.

Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the stone wall in this lightning flash, rushing in front of Zhu Sanjia.I saw this man grasping Zhu Sanjia's belt with his right hand, and then swung it vigorously, throwing Zhu Sanjia towards Liu Yong who was hiding on the stone wall.Liu Yong's hands were sharp, and he reached out to catch Zhu Sanjia.Zhu Sanjia was still in shock, grabbed a slightly protruding rock on the rock wall with his left hand, stepped on a crack in the rock with both feet, and barely stood still.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the person who saved Zhu San's family was Deng Yao, the leader of the beggar gang.
