A knife in love

Chapter 767

Monk Xuanji listened to Li Qiufeng's eloquent talk, but there was also a warning in his words.He is an extremely intelligent person, how could he not hear Li Qiufeng's overtones?So he nodded and said to Li Qiufeng: "Since that's the case, the poor monk is willing to turn enemies into friends with Benefactor Li, and stop being entangled with the Devil's Cult from now on."

Hearing what Monk Xuanji said, Situ Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Ah! The great monk should have done this earlier. My brother Li is a great hero in the world, and he will definitely become a master in the future. The master will end soon With this good fate, we don't have to fight in Chitou Temple anymore."

When Li Qiufeng heard Situ Qiao mention the word "Chitou Temple", his heart suddenly moved, as if he remembered something important.It's just that this idea is just a flash of inspiration, and I have to think about it carefully, but I don't have the slightest clue.And whenever he wanted to study it carefully, he felt a splitting headache, so he had no choice but to stop thinking about the connection between Chitou Temple and this matter.

Monk Xuanji sighed, and said: "Amitabha Buddha. Looking back on what happened in the past few days, the poor monk made many mistakes, and he felt extremely ashamed. If he can escape this time by chance, the poor monk will return to the White Horse Temple. Close the door and think about your mistakes, practice dry meditation again, and never step into the rivers and lakes, so as not to delay your practice."

Li Qiufeng said: "Master is a very smart person, I shouldn't talk too much. However, I also have a few words that I want to say to Master, and I hope Master will not be offended."

Monk Xuanji said: "The benefactor doesn't have to be shy, just say it."

Li Qiufeng said: "The dispute between the Demon Cult and the major martial arts sects has lasted for more than a thousand years. The two sides have suffered heavy casualties, and the right and wrong are hard to explain in one word. Tracing back to the source is nothing but a battle of spirits. They all want the other party to obey their own ideas. It’s just that there are tens of thousands of people, all kinds of strange things. Everyone’s ideas are different, why bother to force others to follow your own ideas? In my humble opinion, as long as you don’t intend to harm others, you don’t need to force others to follow your own ideas. Since Yun In the Battle of Taishan, the Demon Cult was already wiped out, no matter how great the hatred, it should have vanished. Although the descendants of the Demon Cult leader intended to seek revenge from Wuji Temple, they did not drive Wuji Temple to extinction in the end. Moreover, this man's martial arts are unparalleled Well, it stands to reason that if one intends to avenge the Demon Sect, the martial arts sects will not be safe. But in the past few decades, I have never heard of anyone secretly trying to overthrow the sects. Presumably this person has taken the grudge lightly, and does not want to continue Let's go to war. The master is a person from outside, and the four elements are all empty, so why bother to make new mistakes for these old grievances?"

Monk Xuanji recited the Buddha's name repeatedly, and said: "The lesson of the benefactor Li is that the poor benefactor should remember it."

Li Qiufeng hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "How dare you! The master is an expert in the world of martial arts, and only the master can teach me a lesson. How can I dare to teach you a lesson?"

The two exchanged a few words of humility to each other, but they heard Situ Qiao say: "Okay, okay, both of you are top figures in the martial arts world, why bother to get entangled over such a trivial matter?!"

Li Qiufeng glanced at Situ Qiao and said, "Mr. Situ, if we can escape, what are your plans?"

Situ Qiao chuckled, and said, "I understand now. This so-called Zhuge Legacy is just a bait for someone to make a fool of himself and have other plans. Over the years, I have been determined to avenge Zhu Di's murder of Jianwen's loyal ministers. , is somewhat similar to the Li Xu we met before. In order to avenge the murder of his ancestor Li Jiancheng, he worked hard for many years, and ended up with the end of the whole family being wiped out. Think back to the past hundred years of my Situ family What happened to Li Xu? Although Zhu Di killed many members of our Situ family, he has already turned into dust. Although the remaining descendants became emperors and princes, few of them ended well. After the past few months, especially what happened in Changping these few days, I have realized it! Life is only a hundred years old, why should I be obsessed with these old grievances that should have disappeared long ago? If I can escape from here, I will A wandering wild crane, wandering around. By the way, repairing the ancient tombs I destroyed in the past can be regarded as making up for my sins in the past."

When Li Qiufeng saw Situ Qiao speak, his expression was frank, not as if he was fake, so he smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Situ has this insight, I am gratified. I will trouble Mr. Situ to send back the head of Emperor Guan to the south of Luoyang City." Properly buried in the holy king."

Situ Qiao said: "Naturally. Since I invited Emperor Guan's head out, I will naturally send it back."

When the two were talking, they heard Changsun Guangming sigh.Li Qiufeng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Changsun Guangming and Su Yan.But I saw the two looked gloomy, with a look of preoccupation.Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Changsun, Miss Su, what are the plans of the two of you?"

Just as Su Yan was about to speak, Changsun Guangming glanced at her, Su Yan immediately stopped talking.I only heard Changsun Guangming say: "Master Xuanji and Mr. Situ can let go of their grievances. They are so free and easy. I admire them, but I am more envious. Sigh, if you talk about my plan, it will not be too late to talk about it after I can escape."

Situ Qiao chuckled, and said, "Mr. Changsun's enemy is Wu Zetian, a witch. It's just that she's been dead for thousands of years. I'm afraid her bones have already turned into mud. Why both of you have to work so hard on this matter?" ? In my opinion, Mr. Changsun might as well let go of his grudges and join hands with Miss Su in the Jianghu, and become a couple of immortals and heroes that everyone in the Jianghu will envy, wouldn't it be good?"

Hearing what Situ Qiao said, Su Yan's heart couldn't help but move slightly, and he turned his head to look at Changsun Guangming.However, Changsun Guangming's face was cloudy and uncertain, obviously he was planning something in his heart.But after a while, he gritted his teeth and said in his mouth: "Oh, my mind is in a mess right now, I'll save these things for later."

Su Yan was a little disappointed in his heart, his expression was gloomy, so he could only remain silent.

While everyone was talking, more than half an hour passed, but shopkeeper Hu and Lao Yan never came back.Situ Qiao said: "We can't wait any longer. Why don't we leave Taibai Residence now and find another way to escape."

The eldest grandson Guangming nodded, and said: "Before we left Taibai Residence, we turned to the right, and when we realized something was wrong, we turned around and walked back, trying to return to Taibai Residence. However, Taibai Residence disappeared, and we were at a loss. Walk across the wooden bridge and enter the ghost town. If you leave again this time, it’s better to turn to the left and see if there are any weird things on the wooden bridge.”

Everyone listened to the grandson Guangming's plan, and no one raised any objections, so after tidying up, they left the hall together and walked out of the courtyard.After everyone left the gate of Taibai Residence, they walked left along the road at the gate.After walking more than a hundred zhang away, he saw the wooden bridge appearing in front of him again.

Monk Xuanji walked and said, "After we cross the wooden bridge, the ghost town is about a few miles away. If we see the archway at the entrance of the town this time, will we still go into the town?"

Changsun Guangming said: "This ecstasy formation is extremely powerful, it is by no means a constant death formation. If my guess is correct, if I walk across the wooden bridge this time, the ghost town may have disappeared. But we will see it again. What's so weird, but I can't guess it at this time."

While everyone was talking, they had reached the head of the wooden bridge.The thick fog on the bridge has long disappeared, just like when everyone passed by here before.Li Qiufeng walked onto the wooden bridge first, and was about to walk towards the opposite side when Changsun Guangming chased him up, handed the police knife with its scabbard to Li Qiufeng, and said, "Hero Li, you should take this knife with you. "

Li Qiufeng thanked him, and held the police knife in his hand.Recalling the last time I walked across the wooden bridge, it seems like a lifetime ago.

Li Qiufeng walked across the wooden bridge carefully, but there was nothing unusual, so he turned around to greet everyone to cross the bridge.After everyone had crossed the bridge, Situ Qiao put on a steel claw with his right glove, drew a big "well" character on the end of the wooden bridge, and said in his mouth: "If we are in danger, we have to go back here and see what I carved." If the words are still there, you will know whether we have been here."

Everyone moved forward again.Unknowingly, I have walked for several miles, but I have never seen the archway.Monk Xuanji heaved a sigh of relief, and said in his mouth: "Amitabha Buddha. If we calculate according to the road we took to the ghost town last time, we should have seen the archway long ago. At this time, the archway is nowhere to be seen, and we will not be in trouble again. Ghost town."

Everyone felt lingering fears when they thought of all the weird and frightening situations in the ghost town. Hearing what Monk Xuanji said, they all breathed a sigh of relief.It's just that everyone walked forward for a long time, but they saw that the surrounding area was still a wilderness, with no mountains, forests, and no homes.At first, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but the more I walked, the more suspicious I became. Later, Situ Qiao and Changsun Guangming stopped almost at the same time, and looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.

Li Qiufeng saw that Situ Qiao and Changsun Guangming had stopped in their tracks, and their expressions were different, so he also stopped, and said in a deep voice, "Is there something wrong?"

Situ Qiao smiled wryly, and said, "His grandma, we seem to be going around in circles. I remember this place very clearly. We have already walked through it three times!"

After Situ Qiao finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the right side of the road, and saw two circles clearly drawn on the ground.Situ Qiao continued: "The second time I passed by here, I realized something was wrong, so I secretly drew a circle on the side of the road with my foot. When I passed by again, I drew a circle again. Now I saw this Two circles, it means that we have been here for the fourth time."

Changsun Guangming said: "Mr. Situ is still careful, and he noticed it when he came here for the second time. It was the third time I walked here, and I realized that I had been here once before."

After he finished speaking, he walked quickly to the left side of the road, bent down and picked up a copper coin from the ground, and said: "I just passed by here twice, and I found something wrong. A copper coin was thrown on the side of the road, and we came back here not long after."

Monk Xuanji clasped his hands together, and said: "Amitabha. Fortunately, there are two benefactors accompanying us, otherwise we will go round and round like this, and I'm afraid we won't be able to get out again."
