"Brother, what are you doing? You closed the door tightly. Uncle Tang asked you to come over and cook."
Yue Erpao's words were true and he deserved a beating. Yue Guanchao kicked open the door with a bang. The two brothers chased each other and kept fighting. Seeing how childish these two people were, Song Siyuan shook her head helplessly and walked straight past them. forecourt.
At the dinner table, Tang Baoguan cooked local Shaanxi dishes. Yue Guanchao sat on the bench and counted out a few pieces of ocean and brought them to the table: "Old man Tang, this is the money you made from selling the wild wolf skin. It's a total of fifteen pieces of ocean. You can take it." good."
Tang Baoguan tremblingly took the silver coins into his hand, weighed them a few times, and sorted out seven more and pushed them back: "My dear, am I blind or stupid? Do you know the price of wild wolf skins? You can take what you add yourself." Let's go back."
Yue Guanchao wanted to give Old Man Tang some silver coins, but when he refused to accept it, he explained: "Old Man Tang, it is very dangerous to go to the Soul Palace. Although we ask you to be our guide, we don't want you to enter the Soul Palace. This money will be used as a guide." It’s the guide’s money, so you must accept it.”
After hearing this, Tang Baoguan smiled and shook his head: "My dear, please don't say that. Um, you guys only care about appearance, not because of these oceans. Since you are fishing for the bones of your ancestors, it is always a good thing. Um. It can be regarded as accumulating good karma."
"Well, since you said so, my brother won't force you."
After saying that, Yue Erpao grabbed Dayang and tried to stuff it into his pocket. When he saw Yue Guanchao's murderous eyes, he quickly handed him the thing again.
"You should prepare more things when you go this time, so as not to make you blind when you need to use them."
Yue Guanchao knew that Tang Baoguan was referring to the objects used to dig the tomb, so he immediately confirmed: "When we go to the temple fair, we have bought all the things we need to prepare in advance, so you don't have to worry."
"Old man Tang, since you plan to take us to find the Soul Palace, you have to tell us what those four sentences mean, right?"
Song Siyuan recalled the four prophecies and wanted to know what the follow-up was. Tang Baoguan put down his bowl and chopsticks and cleared his throat: "The majestic Han and Tang Dynasties, the vast China, feast on our country, and sacrifice our country..."
"Ever since my grandfather, I have been hearing these words hummed by the elders. Although they contain the real way to enter the Soul Palace, no one knows what these words actually mean because they are so obscure and difficult to understand and it has been so long ago. , the villagers all say that this is the route to enter the Soul Palace, and some people say that it is the secret text that opens the Soul Palace, but there is no conclusion yet."
"Could it be the route into Cave Mountain?"
Regarding Song Siyuan's guess, Tang Baoguan could only shake his head: "Woman, this is unlikely. We already know where the Ancestral Soul Soul Palace is, and we also know how to worship ancestors and enter the Kushan Soul Palace. If it really enters the Kushan Soul Palace The route, then we have figured it out a long time ago, and we still don’t know what it is after all these years. The route is pure fiction.”
"If you want to tell me, you can only know what these words mean by entering the cave mountain and finding the Soul Palace. Except for this situation, no one wants to know the secret of the prophecy."
Song Siyuan knew in her heart that although these prophecies only had a few words, they must have been passed down from ancient times to the present, and they must contain a lot of information. However, at this stage, they had too few clues to decipher the so-called Soul Palace prophecies. From this thought , I felt even more impatient about the cave mountain I was about to go to.
After dinner, everyone went to the backyard to sort out the things needed to enter the deep mountains of Qinling Mountains, including tomb digging tools, clothes and blankets, dry food, oil and water, medicine pills, ropes and nets... Everything that could be used had been prepared in advance. Everything was ready, and the bullock carts were crowded, leaving only two purchased horse-drawn carriages for pulling people.
Yue Qingshan squatted on the threshold and looked at the busy young people in the yard. Sun Daqiao touched the Bagua plate and said with emotion: "Brother Yue, when we were at the Golden Rat Club in the past, didn't we also collect things like this before setting off? Not many people believe in the title of Mouse Welcome Immortal, and they all hope to get into the tomb of some emperor, general or minister to make a fortune."
Yue Qingshan was afraid that the walls had ears, so he quickly signaled Sun Daqiao to lower his voice: "Don't dare to say this nonsense. We are only seeking money. These young people are doing serious things. This time, I hope that the bones of the ancestors of the Chao family can be brought out, so we can Let’s get rid of the big curse. As long as this thing is on us for a day, we won’t be able to live in peace for a day.”
Sun Daqiao realized that he almost let something slip, and quickly slapped his mouth a few times: "That's right, that's right, I also hope that my life will be better. It's not a problem to be blind and poor all the time. Hua Ling is still waiting. I'm going back, brother Yue, don't worry, I just used a copper coin divination to give my eldest nephew another fortune, and it is indeed a sign of turning bad luck into good luck."
"That's what I said, but I feel like I've been scratched by a cat. I'm so frizzy. Is your fortune-telling skills inaccurate?"
Yue Qingshan heard from Sun Daqiao that fortune telling must have started with worshiping Mr. Li Lang. Now that Mr. Li Lang was shot, he was really worried that Sun Daqiao deliberately said nice and auspicious words.
"Brother Yue, I, Sun Daqiao, was good at fortune-telling, but I lost my temper due to the influence of luck at that time. Over the years, I have finally figured it out. What I pray to God for is peace of mind, or for me to fulfill myself. Only with my skills can I get better. .”
"In the final analysis, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself!"
While the two old men were talking, Yue Guanchao and the others had already finished getting things done. They also used wooden boards to cover all the supplies and put them into the carriage to tie up the hemp ropes.
After finishing all these chores, Yue Guanchao was so tired that he wiped the beads of sweat, put his hands on his hips and grinned: "Let's work together, we will go to the Qinling Mountains tomorrow, everyone can have a good sleep tonight!"
