Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Chapter 159

Brother Qiling's lips moved, and he was about to speak.The old Taoist came out from the side room, holding a white porcelain bottle in his hand, and poured out a dark-colored pill for me, saying: "The decoction still lacks a small thistle, which was taken away by a benefactor just after harvesting last month. I bought it. I have to take a detoxification pill first, and then apply some sesame oil on the wound."

I threw the pill into my mouth, and a scent of Chinese medicine instantly filled my mouth and mouth. After a while, I felt much more comfortable all over my body, and my mind was not as chaotic as before.I have to have some respect for this old man.

Although he really doesn't look like a Taoist priest in his present attire, the loose Taoist robe over the crumpled pajamas looks nondescript.A long and messy chicken nest head is very different from the fairy-like appearance in the daytime. It can be said that he feels a little sloppy now.

But it is too narrow to define a person just by appearance.Facts have proved that as a Taoist, even if he cannot completely get rid of his desire for money and wealth, it is rare for him to maintain a happy heart when he sees people in danger.

The old Taoist was very uncomfortable being stared at by me, and coughed a few times, so I had no choice but to put away my scrutiny and asked, "Taoist, do these weasels usually stay near the Taoist temple?"

He thought for a while, and replied: "Occasionally, I have seen one or two haunted, and they are very timid, and will not take the initiative to attack people. What happened tonight is really strange."

Brother Ling and I looked at each other, and his eyes were a little complicated, which reminded me that there seemed to be some differences between me and ordinary people, because not only did I have a mother of earth in my heart, but my blood could also prevent Yin thing.But I don't know which item attracted this group of Huang Daxian?Unable to think of an answer, I had to restrain my thoughts and ask again:

"Master Daoist, you just said that the medicine called Xiaoji has been bought out, so you still sell medicinal materials here?"

The old Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, maybe he felt that my question was a trap. After all, Taoist temples are places of pure cultivation, and it is always not good to spread the reputation when it involves commercial transactions.

"If there is a predestined and sincere benefactor, you can ask for some healing elixir, which is similar to the Bailing pill I gave you just now. As for the raw material of Chinese herbal medicine, if the benefactor insisted on asking for it, we would generally not It’s for sale.” The old Taoist glanced at the merit box in the main hall, and he understood without saying anything, that the benefactor must have received the money.

"Oh? This benefactor is really interesting. I don't want the ready-made pills, but I have to buy raw materials?"

"It's quite interesting. He stayed here for a few days, and when he left, he said that he couldn't become a god on Yunyang Mountain. He didn't go to see it. The poor Taoist thought that he was a fellow who asked for immortality, so he let him go. I went." The old Taoist said while recalling.

At first hearing these words, it felt a little familiar, and I didn't wait for my reaction.Brother Qi Ling took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and found the photo of Fat Brother for the old Taoist leader to identify.

"That's right, it's this benefactor, do you know each other?" The old man seemed surprised.

If my strength hadn't recovered, I would have jumped up happily after hearing his words.So he asked happily: "Are you sure it's him? Tall, fat, with a loud voice and a northern accent?"

The old Taoist took the phone, looked it over carefully, nodded firmly, and confirmed, "That's right, this benefactor has lived in the temple for a few days, and he is extremely picky about our vegetarian meals, and thinks there is no oil or meat every day. Not only me, but Guan Nei was very impressed with him."

I guessed right, for a man with so much trouble like Fat Brother, it's hard not to leave traces wherever he goes.I glanced at Brother Ling, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Master Daoist, to be honest, we are friends of the benefactor. The main purpose of going up the mountain this time is to find him. Can you think about whether he did anything special when he lived here, or What did you say? What questions did you ask?"

After hearing what I said, the old Taoist priest scratched his hair and said with a embarrassed face: "It's been too long, and I can't remember exactly what I said. It's just that he thinks the food in this Taoist temple is unpalatable. , I am full of praise for the scenery here. I especially like to stay in the cool hall in front, saying that there is a good view of the mountains, and it is a good place to watch the scenery. In addition, Xiaoguan is also very generous. Before leaving, besides buying medicine money , and donated a large sum of money to the merit box.”

"Oh, as far as I know, the fat guy is usually very stingy, and he won't spend a lot of money here for no reason. Unless his brain is broken, or he made a fortune recently. But I heard that this It's not easy to get money in the antique industry for a few years, and the trip to Shangnan didn't yield much, could it be that Wu Xie gave him money in private?"

Thinking of this, I looked at Brother Ling suspiciously.If Wu Xie had to send money, his share would naturally be indispensable. I wanted to ask him, but it was inconvenient due to the presence of the old Taoist, so I turned to the Taoist priest and asked, "Daozhang, I seem to have heard a dog barking just now." , Is there a dog in the Taoist temple?"

The old man's face was suddenly green and white, so I understood.The barking of the dog was probably pretended by him, and the purpose was naturally to drive Huang Daxian away.I heard that the weasel has three nemesis, the eagle, the big dog and the goose.

At night, the only ones who can come out for activities are dogs, so it is a very smart choice for the veteran to pretend to be a dog.It's just that as a cultivator, although it was an expedient measure to save others, it was considered to have humiliated the patriarch after all. No wonder he couldn't hold back his face.He yawned and said that it was still a few hours before dawn, and he wanted to go back and sleep for a while.

We didn't expose it either, and nodded to signal him to take it easy.After he left, I excitedly pulled Brother Ling's sleeves and said, "Finally, I found out about his whereabouts. What's the next plan?"

"No plans, go back to the room and sleep!" His slender fingers gently caressed the mark on my neck.

I got goosebumps from itching for a while, hurriedly hid back, and then said: "Come on, tell me quickly, where did you go just now?"

He didn't answer, but asked again: "Are you really not sleepy?"

"Really, in fact, I'm very excited now, I can't wait to find Fat Brother immediately, how can I still sleep?" I rolled his eyes at him.

"Okay then, I'll take you to a place." After he finished speaking, he bent down and wanted to hug me, I hurriedly got up from the futon and said, "I... I can go now! I'm fine now, old Taoist doctor really spirit."

After we finished speaking, we walked out of the gate and slipped into the cool hall in front of the temple.My expectation is not bad, this is indeed the best place to view the top of the mountain.At this time, the moon had already set in the west, but the stars still filled the sky as if they could not find their way home.

"It seems that tomorrow will be a good weather." I looked up at the starry sky and sighed, then looked at Brother Ling.

Because the lights were not turned on, he was sitting next to me, and he could only vaguely distinguish the outline.He was silent for a while, and finally said, "I've been thinking about the fat man's words."

"Come to Yunyang Mountain to be a god?" I took the words.

"Yes, does he know anything? He came prepared, and then found something here? That's why he changed his words and said that there are no gods on Yunyang Mountain."

"If we could guess Fat Brother's brain circuit, we would have solved the riddle long ago. Why would we spend so much effort and still not have a clue?"

"Fatty is a school of touching gold. He has the skills of gazing at the stars and finding dragons and acupoints. Just now, the Taoist priest said that Fatty likes to stay here most of the time." Brother Qi Ling stopped here, and let me think about the rest of the words.

I looked around, moved closer to Brother Ling, and said in a low voice, "You mean Brother Fat is not actually looking at the scenery, but looking for the location of the ancient tomb?"

"Well," Brother Qiling responded briefly, and then said: "The seven peaks here stretch to form a crescent shape. The top of this mountain is the highest point of the entire mountain range, and it is also the place with the best view. Fatty chose here to find the dragon. Hole is smart."

"Is there really a tomb?" I leaned into his ear and asked.

Brother Qiling didn't speak, neither affirmed nor denied, but just patted my hand.Maybe I felt that my hand was a little cold, so I just held it in my hand without letting go.

I was so full of thoughts that I didn't have time to pay attention to these details, besides, his palm was very warm, which was what I missed so much, even for a moment.I asked him again: "After Shangnan, did Wu Xie give you money? Otherwise, how could the fat brother be so generous, and a donation to the Taoist temple is a large sum?"

"..."

Brother Qiling didn't answer, so I took it as his acquiescence.But speaking of it, if Wu Xie sent money to both of them, why did he leave out my share?The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Do you think I'm an idiot, unworthy of a salary?

"Huh, there is hard work without credit. Why doesn't he give it to you, but not to me? No, I have to ask him about this matter." Although I don't value money very much, if Wu Xie despises me If you feel that my trip is useless, then I should really be unconvinced.

"..." Brother Qi Ling was silent for a while, and after a long time, he said with some regret: "He asked you, and you said that you want to buy a house with money."

"Well, that's right! Can't you?" I asked back in a daze, and at the same time, I thought that as an adult, if I got a windfall, what's wrong with buying a house, besides, I really have no place to live!

"No." Brother Qi Ling let go of my hand suddenly, and said these three words coldly.

"Hey, I was amused for a while, what's the fuss about this guy? He has such a big reaction to my property purchase."

He didn't talk to me anymore, and I didn't bother to talk to him, looking up at the stars in the sky in a daze, until I was bored and wanted to doze off, and I was thinking about waiting until dawn to watch the sunrise on the top of the mountain, so I refused to go back to my room.I had to be cheeky and take the initiative to find topics to refresh myself:

"Hey, why do you think those weasels attacked me? And why are they haunting the Taoist temple?" I lowered my eyelids and asked without a word.

"Everything has spirits, maybe they also want to practice Taoism and become immortals!" Brother Qi Ling seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, and said lightly.

"In this way, they are also from Bendi mother beads. This thing is so attractive, why do you think it grows on me?" I yawned, I was so sleepy, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I unconsciously leaned my head against it. On his shoulder, there is a question without a sentence.

Brother Qiling supported my head, and wrapped one hand around my shoulder to make me lean more comfortably.

"Can you tell me about stargazing and positioning? How can we determine the orientation through the stars?" Even though my eyes were too sleepy to open, I kept asking.

Brother Qi Ling was very helpless, probably in order to make me fall asleep as soon as possible so that I could shut up.I had no choice but to be patient and tell me about the relationship between the 28 constellations and the auspicious places on the ground.He said: "The sky has five stars, the earth has five elements, the heavens are divided into stars, the earth is like mountains and rivers, the air travels on the earth, and the shape is beautiful in the sky. You can observe the air by the shape and establish the rules of people..."
