The Taoist Priest with a grimace estimated the time and found that it was probably just past noon. If the two of them planned to start a fight at midnight, they would have to wait nearly six hours. However, the mountain rain was getting worse, and waiting like this was not an option. It was too far to return to Wangjing Town, and it was not safe for the two of them to return with their identities. The Grimace Taoist Priest and Luo Laoqi wandered around the mountainside for a long time, and finally they could only find an old banyan tree with lush branches. I added some branches and covered it with a raincoat to make a temporary canopy for shelter.
With a place to protect him from the rain, Luo Laoqi began to drink wine carelessly. When he got drunk, he fell asleep leaning against the tree trunk. The Taoist priest with a grimace didn't bother to care about him. It was still early to take action anyway, so why not Let him have a good rest.
On the other hand, Ghostface Taoist Priest is not as free and easy as Luo Laoqi. He always feels a little anxious before doing something, especially at this time, in addition to the sound of rain in the mountains, there are only a few apes and eagles, which set off the surroundings. There was a different kind of tranquility. The grim-faced Taoist priest was in this kind of environment. He couldn't help but think about things in his mind. He was worried about his actions at night and worried about the future of the two of them. Thinking about it, he felt confused at the end. Looking at it, the future is like a spring rain in the forest, full of confusion and uncertainty.
The Taoist priest with a grimace sighed, stretched out his hand and took out a palm-sized cloth bag. When he opened the bag, there was an object like a jade pendant. The whole body was glowing with a dark green luster. It looked like a mouse, but it only had the appearance of a jade pendant. Thumb size.
The grim-faced Taoist priest took the rat-shaped jade pendant to his nose and smelled it. A strange fragrance hit his head, and he suddenly became more energetic. He put the jade pendant in his hand again, and then watched the jade pendant sink into In memory.
This rat-shaped jade pendant is the only relic of Chen Sanxiao, the father of the Taoist Ghostface. When Chen Sanxiao handed this jade pendant to the Taoist Ghostface, he only said that it would be of great use in the future, but what is its use? There was no chance to say the smile. After the barbarians massacred the village that night, only one of the Chen family escaped, the Ghost-faced Taoist priest. Chen Sanxiao himself, his wife, and the two infant brothers and sisters of the Ghost-faced Taoist priest all died. That rainy night.
Later, the Ghostface Taoist wandered around the world and once inquired about the origins of the immortal Taibao of his own Chen family. He learned many strange past stories about the Immortal Taibao from the tomb genealogy and from Jianghu people, but the purpose of the jade pendant in his hand was But until now, I still have no clue.
This jade pendant was carved into the shape of a mouse. He knew a thing or two about mice. The Taibao of the Immortal Family chose this name because his family worshiped the Gray Immortal, one of the Five Immortals. The Gray Immortal is what people often call him. rat, so the Taibao of the Xian family has a nickname in the world, called "Mountain Mouse", which not only shows that this family is very capable of breaking down tombs, but also reflects the tradition of the Taibao of the Xian family to worship the Gray Immortal.
The jade pendant in the hands of the Ghost-faced Taoist priest looks very old. It must be an ancestral item of the Chen family. Otherwise, Chen Sanxiao would not have risked his life to let the Ghost-faced Taoist take it away. However, over the years, the Ghost-faced Taoist priest has made many attempts to find out. The purpose of this jade pendant, but apart from the strong and strange fragrance of the jade body, which can refresh the mind when smelling it, this jade pendant seems to have no other uses. The Taoist Priest with a Grimace initially speculated that the smell of this jade pendant can refresh the mind. Could it be that it has the effect of detoxifying and driving away miasma? But after experiencing this difficulty at the Shanyin Princess Mansion yesterday, he has now given up this speculation. He feels that the purpose of this jade pendant may not be as simple as he thought, but what is it specifically? Its usefulness can only be discovered by chance in the future.
The grim-faced Taoist priest sat like this until sunset. At this time, Luo Laoqi also woke up. The two discussed it and felt that the path to the mausoleum area was rugged and difficult to walk. They did not dare to follow the road, so they could only follow it. We were groping for that direction on the rain-soaked hillside. It was better to rush to the vicinity of the mausoleum area while it was still dark, and then wait for the opportunity to move when we reached the edge of the mausoleum area. Otherwise, we might not even know where the mausoleum area was when it got dark. They can't be found.
After the two people discussed it, they immediately set off towards the mausoleum area. The rainy sky turned dark quickly after sunset. By the time they reached the high wall of the mausoleum area, the entire valley was already so dark that they could not see their fingers.
The Taoist Priest with a grimace and Luo Laoqi were walking in the weeds wearing coir raincoats. They were less than five feet away from the high wall. They waited patiently for a stick of incense and found that there were no guards coming and going on the patrol road outside the high wall. It is guessed that most of the guards guarding the tomb have chosen to be lazy because of the heavy rain, but the two of them are not planning to enter the tomb area now, because this is the time when the maids guarding the tomb are serving meals for the "Emperor" and enjoying Going in and out of the palace was not conducive for the two of them to do anything.
The two of them waited patiently for another hour. At this time, Luo Laoqi couldn't bear it anymore and whispered: "What time is it now, Taoist priest? Why don't we take action yet?"
The grim-faced Taoist priest replied: "Wait a little longer, we won't be too late to take action after those palace maids have fallen asleep."
"Are you still waiting? If you keep acting like this, your balls will sprout. Besides, sir, do you know when those girls will go to bed?"
"I'm not lying on the same bed with them, so how do I know when they go to bed? Just wait and see if the lights are turned off, but I can't tell you what, I can feel a tingling in my crotch. I remember Li Tianwen said After this time, the palace maids should give a singing and dancing performance to the emperor, and there should be a lot of noise in the Xiangdian Hall, or should we go in now?"
"That couldn't be better. The Sa family is willing to take some risks and doesn't want to wait here. It just so happens that they are going to sing and dance now. Let's go and take off the emperor's pants to help them entertain. Taoist priest, please leave. The cat is caught, get up quickly and let’s climb in!”
