There are several branches under the four great sects, such as the exorcist doctor and psychic shaman of the exorcism sect, the tomb-robber Mojin Xiaowei and the mountain-moving Taoist.
There are three main branches of Baobaomen.
They are: Baobao customers who walk around the streets mainly for acquisitions.
A ghost-eye merchant stationed in Panjiayuan in Kyoto and Drum Tower in Yanjing who specializes in picking up leaks.
Disciples of the mountain god who go into the mountains in search of precious herbs and treasures hidden in ancient tombs.
Cheng Yunying and the others were disciples of the Mountain God, and were very famous in this industry. They studied under a mysterious master from the Holding Treasure Sect.
After becoming apprentices, they opened a Baoyunxuan in Panjiayuan, the capital, specializing in selling herbs and treasures dug out of the mountains... It was once a hit.
Later, something happened to Baoyunxuan. The first shopkeeper, Qian Yunshan, and the second shopkeeper, Cheng Yunying, were missing. Only the third boss, Zhang Yunfei, was left supporting the facade.
It is said that Qian Yunshan and Cheng Yunying went to the Northeast to search for treasures, but ended up missing.
Did these two people die in the mountains, or did they abandon their junior brothers after finding the treasure?
Then no one knows. Anyway, these two people have become a mystery in the world.
Grandma Wang once lamented that she had never been convinced by others in the profession of holding back treasures, but she only admired these three brothers.
Grandma Wang and Zhang Yunfei still have some connections. She once told me that if I have the opportunity to go to the capital, I must stop by and visit Zhang Yunfei.
I have never forgotten this incident, but I never thought that I would actually go to the capital to find Zhang Yunfei. I didn't expect to find notes related to his two senior brothers here.
So I bought Liu Han’s stuff directly.
First of all, since the two treasure-holding masters have been here before, it means that there must be treasures in the nearby mountains.
For both of them, when they come to Kyoto or return to Grandma Wang's place in the future, this thing can be regarded as a small gift.
After hearing this, Du Jun thought for a while: "If this diary is true, then they must have been here, maybe they really found the valley where the treasure is hidden?
"But it's not right yet!"
Du Jun shook his head again.
"According to what you just said, this book only mentions Yellowstone Mountain and does not mention Duanyun Mountain. Moreover, the things he wrote about treasure hiding are very vague, and most of them are irrelevant things.
"And there are dragons...Isn't this not normal?"
"That's why I said I'm not sure yet!"
I flipped through my notebook again.
The weird monsters mentioned above are not necessarily fake. There have always been records in the sect that there are definitely evil things in some special places.
Haven't we also encountered flying centipedes, snake monsters, and the like? It's just not as scary as the book says.
I estimate that Cheng Yunying was somewhat mentally disturbed at the time, and that he might have had some hallucinations later on.
But no matter what, at least our current direction is not wrong. The treasure of the Qing Dynasty is likely to be in this deep mountain.
"Yes, then what should we do next?"
With new clues, Du Jun was full of energy.
The two of us discussed it again and decided to start from two aspects.
Tomorrow I will go back to Zhaojiawan to have a good chat with Aunt Gu, and then confirm the affairs of the tribes in the Oroqen Kingdom.
Then quickly go to Ma Shenpo and Yan Fugui to see if they can get the other things in the box.
It would be best to find the valley that Cheng Yunying and Qian Yunshan discovered.
Du Jun and I have always had a feeling that that place is probably the valley marked on the treasure map. Normally, two large treasures rarely appear in one area at the same time.
…
The next morning, Zhao Zhijia sent me a carriage.
I took Xiaolian, Du Jun, and Wang Man back to Zhaojiawan.
Dajin Village is far away from the county seat, but the distance to Zhaojiawan is relatively close.
Zhao Zhijia had already called his brother last night.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, Zhao Zhiguo, Aunt Gu, and several close relatives were waiting there.
Du Jun poked me: "Did you see? This is going to be a three-party trial. I guess he wants you to have formal contact with these relatives and friends.
"In our hometown, would that be called an engagement?"
Xiaolian was very shy and jumped out of the carriage early and ran to her mother.
Wang Man laughed at the side and said: "Xiao Dao, you didn't go to the countryside for nothing! If you seduced a fairy and brought such a beautiful girl back, does Xiaolian have the final say in everything from now on?"
I looked at the large group of people in the distance and felt a little frightened.
"Wang Man, then you are wrong. I, Zhou Xiaodao, the great God Zhou? How can I be so worthless? If you don't believe me, ask Du Jun."
I directly dragged Du Jun into the water.
"Of course!" Du Jun shook his head.
"Who are we brothers? No matter what kind of wife we marry, it will be our brothers who have the final say."
But when I jumped out of the carriage to meet Zhao Zhiguo and the others, I clearly heard Du Jun's low-pitched flattery.
"I'm telling you, just now I was trying to save face for Xiaodao, this guy is thin-skinned.
"Actually, who makes the decision? A good man has to listen to his wife. If we want to be together in the future, it's up to you."
Things did not go as Du Jun expected. Zhao Zhiguo indeed had such an attitude. He set up two big tables at Lao Zhao's house at noon and formalized the relationship between Xiaolian and me at that time.
I also made a statement on the spot, writing a letter to my family to announce the good news, and then taking Xiaolian back during the Chinese New Year.
Everyone is happy, and all that's left is drinking.
This time I can see the horror of the old Zhao family. There are too many uncles and brothers. If Aunt Gu and Du Jun hadn't blocked it for me, I might have fallen down as a teetotaler.
Zhao Zhiguo was in a happy mood and became drunk halfway through drinking.
It was not easy to send these people away.
Aunt Gu asked Wang Man to accompany Xiaolian and called Du Jun and I to the back room alone.
"Xiao Dao, I know you two have a lot of problems."
Aunt Gu asked us to sit down.
"Actually, when your Uncle Zhao came back from Lei's house and told me about the snake demon, I knew you were an exorcist.
"It just so happens that you went to the countryside to Zhaojiawan not long after."
Aunt Gu poured a cup of tea for both of us.
"So I asked Xiaolian to invite you to my home, but I never thought that I would fall in love with you very much as soon as we met, and now you have become half of my son."
I'm a little embarrassed too.
"Aunt Gu, why are you so enthusiastic as soon as you come here? This is what happened for a long time.
"Since you are so familiar with the exorcism sect, are you the psychic witch in the exorcism sect?"
Aunt Gu nodded and shook her head.
"Things are not as you imagine. I am a psychic, and I can be considered the psychic witch you call me.
"But I'm not the kind of exorcist sect. I belong to the tribal saint of the Oroqen tribe."
"We heard that you belong to an Oroqen tribe and that there is a kingdom of heaven there."
Du Jun said.
"There is no such thing as a heaven. We are just an ancient tribe. Later, life in the mountains was too hard, so we left the mountains in Grandma Xiaolian's generation.
“By my mother’s generation, they are no different from ordinary people.
"The only thing that is different from ordinary people is that our physique is a little special. According to the customs of the Oroqen tribe, my mother's family belongs to the saints in the tribe."
