The ancient tomb that the grimace Taoist was talking about was the Panlong Temple that protected the country that Riluo Wancai talked about with him that day.
There are probably few people in the world who know that there is a tomb under Panlong Temple to protect the country. This matter is a court secret related to the fate of the country. Even if people who are not from the Juezi camp know it, they may not dare to interfere.
Luo Wancai got the news in advance because his Five Saints were going to participate in this lama, and deliberately revealed it to the Taoist Ghostface, just to let him rob the lama so that he could reap the benefits.
At that time, the grim-faced Taoist priest did not make it clear whether he was going or not. In fact, he was not very interested in it. The Panlong Temple in Huguo was very popular and there were hundreds of monks alone. It was not easy to sneak in and find the ancient tomb, let alone There is also a royal inversion army, the Juezi Battalion, competing with them.
However, after these days of encounters and information collection, Taoist Ghost Face felt that this matter might not be impossible. After analyzing some information, he concluded that Jueziying had not yet begun to destroy Panlong Temple to protect the country, but had been inquiring about the tomb of King Hui. According to the news, this matter combined with the legend of the ancient tomb mentioned by Luo Wancai, Juezi camp may not want to take action, but is afraid of the poisonous mist behind the gate of the ancient tomb, so it wants to find some anti-virus elixirs first.
The inference of the Taoist priest with a grimace was not groundless. The three of them were at Tianji Temple before. Master Xuanyun also mentioned that a few days ago, a colleague came to ask for elixirs to avoid miasma and detoxify. At that time, he felt that the people who came were from Juezi Camp, and Later, Master Xuanyun also kept the Concentration Pill, so could he want to achieve some "purpose" with this pill?
"What the Taoist Master is saying is that we have two Concentration Pills, why not be the first to take over this fight?"
"Exactly, it just so happens that Li Tianwen, the commander of the Juezi Camp, has a bitter feud with Pindao. By robbing the lama, we can gain wealth and get along with him. Isn't it a deal that kills two birds with one stone?"
"How come you and Lao Qi are enemies everywhere? I heard that Li Tianwen was just a royal alchemist in the palace before. How can this cause trouble with you two?"
"Don't mention it, you deserve at least half of the credit for this." The grim-faced Taoist priest told how the two of them escaped from the princess's house that night, went to destroy the Jingning Mausoleum, and were tricked by Li Tianwen. Finally, he said: "This god The dog thief who killed him was very scheming. He not only seized the position of commander of the Juezi Camp, but also occupied the Faqiu Golden Seal. Otherwise, if we had the Faqiu Golden Seal in hand today, why would we be so hesitant in starting a fight?"
"Then it's a bit miserable for you two. You took the blame at the Princess Mansion, and another one came to Jingningling. You did nothing during this trip to Beijing, except to tease Liu Chuyu, and you were left to take the blame."
"What are you talking about? Those who don't know think that we two are bastards. The most hateful thing is that the poor guy who teased Liu Chuyu didn't even get involved, but he just took advantage of the seventh guy."
"Hey, it seems that you are quite regretful. Did you take action too early?"
"It's all a joke, but the feud between us and Li Tianwen is dead. Now that we can seize the opportunity to take revenge, how can Pindao not be tempted?"
"I understand the matter of revenge. If it were me, I would not hesitate to do it. However, after careful consideration, there are many doubts about the Panlong Temple that protects the country. If we really want to take action, we still have to make a careful plan."
The grim-faced Taoist priest nodded and said: "Pintao's biggest doubt is what is in this tomb, which will force the Northern Wei army to dig it out and then seal it up again, and build a magnificent temple on top."
"Is there some kind of evil thing in the tomb? Li Tianwen didn't even dare to try it even if he had the Faqiu Golden Seal in his hand. How terrifying is the evil thing inside?"
"Don't think so of Si Niang when you are thinking about the problem. You have scared yourself to death before the fight begins. What can make the Northern Wei army and the court afraid are not only evil beasts and foreign objects, but also people who are just in awe." people'."
"That's right!" He Siniang suddenly realized: "Perhaps someone buried in the tomb is an ancestor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. They chose to seal the tomb again out of respect for their ancestors. The Panlong Temple to protect the country was built on it. Couldn’t it just be regarded as a mausoleum for worshiping incense?”
"It's better if Si Niang is smarter, but we haven't seen the terrain there. Everything is just speculation. Whether the area around Huguo Panlong Temple is suitable for burials, we can only make a conclusion after we see the Feng Shui with our own eyes."
"If I had known, I would have brought the equipment for the reverse fight this time when I went south. We have to compete with the Juezi Camp for time. We are afraid that we won't have time to go back to Tianshui to get the equipment."
"Let's buy the equipment separately on the way north. Except for the fire dove, other items don't matter. We'll try our best to get to the Xuanhu as early as possible and step on the plates first. As for when to start, we will decide based on the situation."
"Then we set off tomorrow morning?"
"There's no need to be so anxious. The Juezi camp may still be circling around Qinzhou. You're still weak. In addition, Lao Qi seemed to have suffered some internal injuries when he was hit by a snake in the tomb. I think we might as well look for it." I’ll rest in this town for two days, so I can treat you and buy some tools at the same time.”
"That's very good. I heard Lao Qi coughing from time to time on the way. It may be that he has injured his heart and lungs. I heard that there is a town between Xinye County and Nanyang County where a slightly famous golden sore doctor lives. We will go there How about resting there?”
"Okay, that way is far away from the state capital and the danger is less. Let's go there and set off as soon as daybreak."
The two of them saw that it was still early before dawn, so they took the time to continue to take a nap. After another two hours, dawn gradually broke in the eastern sky. Birds looking for food woke up the grimace Taoist priest first. He rubbed his face and pushed the other two After everyone woke up, the three of them cheered up and continued heading north.
Until the evening, the three of them finally arrived at a place called "Wenqing Town". Further north from here, past Nanyang, is the junction of Wei and Song Dynasties. The three of them rested here, which was convenient for them to go north to Xuanhu.
Wenqing Town is not a big town, with about a hundred households in size. It is an ordinary town, and the only famous one is probably Dr. Zhang from "Huirentang".
Dr. Zhang's real name is "Zhang Qingshan". It is said that he is a descendant of Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage in the late Han Dynasty. He specializes in golden sore medicine. He is quite famous in Yongzhou area. He has the reputation of "cutting the disease on one side and rejuvenating the three veins".
At that time, there were many types of doctors, such as diet doctors who coordinated diet; doctors who treated typhoid and miscellaneous diseases; ulcer doctors who treated ulcers and abscesses; and Jinshang doctors, who specialized in treating bruises, broken bones and tendons, and would usually treat injuries from swords, guns, and swords. The golden sore doctor heals.
Because Zhang Qingshan has excellent medical skills and is particularly good at treating pain and stopping bleeding, people from the surrounding areas often come to seek medical treatment. His business is booming, but he has a rule, which is that when the sun sets in Shenshi, he will immediately close the door to thank customers and come back for medical treatment. No matter how much money they offered, they would not accept it, so they were nicknamed "Zhang Laoshen". By the time the three grim-faced Taoist priests arrived at Huirentang, Zhang Laoshen had already closed the shop, and the three had no choice but to go first. Find a hotel to stay in and prepare to come back tomorrow morning.
There are several inns in the town, some of which are quite large. They may have benefited from Zhang Laoshen. Most of the guests they received were Jianghu people. When the three grim-faced Taoist priests left Tianshui City, Meng Qingyao insisted on staying in. I gave them ingots of gold, and they had to enjoy it when they had money. The three of them specially chose the largest restaurant to stay in. After putting their backpacks in the room, they all went to the lobby on the first floor to eat.
There were not many diners in the lobby, but the three grim-faced Taoist priests still found a corner to sit down. After the waiter brought the wine and food, Luo Laoqi said happily: "Wine and meat are the magic elixir. If this kind of life is allowed to the Sa family, In the past few days, his grandma’s dick disease has not healed.”
"There will be more days like this in the future, but you still need to see the disease when it needs treatment. Next time, I will go north to help you."
"I don't even have the brains to expect the Sa family to come up with anything. I'm going to leave these two guys alone."
"That's true..."
"Hush! Taoist Master, look at the door."
The Taoist priest with a grimace glanced sideways at the front door after hearing this. The waiter nodded and bowed to welcome a group of people. There were five people in the group, all dressed as businessmen. After entering, they glanced around the lobby and then chose a seat by the window. Next, I waved my hand for the waiter to serve the food.
The Taoist priest with a grimace saw that although the five people were all dressed as traders, their aura was obviously that of thieves, but they all looked unfamiliar, so he asked in a low voice: "Do you know those four people?"
He Siniang nodded and replied: "The one at the east end is none other than the Fourth Master Xue, the captain of Mojin School."
"Oh?" The grim-faced Taoist priest raised his eyebrows. He had heard the name of Fourth Master Xue, and he was the current leader of the Golden Colonel. So judging from his attitude towards the other people around him, they should also be under his sect. Colonel Touching Gold, what kind of wind is there around here? Why did five Colonel Touching Gold suddenly blow here?
The Taoist priest with a grimace hurriedly asked everyone to eat as usual, and he quietly listened over there. Fourth Master Xue and his group were four or five tables away from him. They had been talking in low voices since they came in. The Taoist priest with a grimace listened for a while and looked at the other side. Then he changed, and he didn't expect that they were actually talking about the Faqiu Golden Seal.
Fourth Master Xue seemed to have the idea of faqiu gold seal, and said to the other four people: "Xia Houxiang has long known that the gold seal is in the hands of Juezi Camp, but when he took people to Xuanhu City, he failed. I heard It seems that Li Tianwen went to Qinzhou, we will rest here for one night and leave for Qinzhou early tomorrow morning."
"But Fourth Master, Li Tianwen is now using the banner of the imperial court. If we rush to grab the gold seal, aren't we going against the imperial court?" asked a gold-touching captain.
"When is the Mushroom Gate not against the imperial court? And if we go to steal the gold seal, as long as we do things cleanly, who will know that we are the ones who stole it?"
"Fourth Master asked us to go, and we are sure to have no problem with it, but is the Faqiu Golden Seal really as valuable as the legend says? It's worth the risk for us to grab it."
"The Faqiu Golden Seal is not only a treasure that can ward off evil spirits and suppress corpses, but the most important thing is a symbol of status. Back then, Master Ning Erye and the Faqiu clan separated. From then on, our status as Captain of the Golden Seal plummeted, and it also became a symbol of status in the Shanling Genealogy. We can only be ranked fourth, and those Faqiu Heavenly Officials only have one more surname than us, how can they dare to be the best? But if we have this Faqiu Golden Seal, then our status will be different in the future, Mo Speaking of other factions, even the Faqiu Sect has to be trampled under our feet by Captain Mo Jin."
