Chapter 231 Talking about Taoist Master’s Tomb Raider Notes
"Leave now?"

Mr. Qi was a little stunned, as if he had not expected that Li Daoxuan would be so decisive.

"What? Do we have to wait until after the human day?" Li Daoxuan frowned.

"No, what I mean is that I'm afraid that you are not ready. Since you are willing, I naturally have no problem."

Mr. Qi nodded, "You two go back and prepare. We will set off in the evening."

"it is good."

Li Daoxuan and Zhou Yaya nodded in agreement.

……

at the same time.

Qingshan Town.

"You mean you want me to be a poor person... I'm going to rob a tomb?" Tan Xiao looked at the old master in front of him and said with a smile.

Speaking of these two words, a very long memory came to my mind.

"Exactly." The old master nodded. He also realized that the outsider in front of him seemed to know something, so he asked: "May I ask which Taoist family this Taoist priest belongs to?"

"Which one?"

Tanxiao thought about it for a while, "What the old man means is... the Taoist who moved the mountain, the captain who touched the gold, the official of Faqiu, and the strong man of Xiling, right?"

"Exactly."

The old master nodded and looked at the conversation and laughter in front of him curiously, as if waiting for his answer.

Through previous contacts, the old master had discovered that the man in front of him was a Taoist priest.

Therefore, he felt, or guessed, that the person in front of him should be a mountain-moving Taoist.

After talking and laughing for a while, he recalled, "I wonder if the old gentleman has heard of a rumor."

"Master Taoist, please speak."

"The Banshan Taoist priests among the four major sects, they rob tombs not for treasure, but to find the Muchen Bead among thousands of tombs... I wonder if the old gentleman has heard of it?"

"I have heard that Taoist Banshan is good at the art of restraint, and his whereabouts are secretive and hard to find. But there is a rumor that this Taoist Banshan lineage has been subject to some kind of curse, and every Taoist Banshan can't live to be 60 years old."

After the old gentleman finished speaking, he thought about it for a moment, and then nodded again, "That's it."

Tan smiled and pointed at himself, "This curse from Taoist Banshan was given by our Qianji lineage. It's a pity that they still can't undo it until now."

"What?!" The old gentleman looked stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the weapon spirit sounded from the depths of Tanxiaoxin Lake, which was a bit strange.

"Oh, you still have the same pulse as Qian Ji, that's amazing!"

The smile on Tan Xiao's face did not change. He knew that this weapon spirit was probably going to operate secretly!
"I wonder if... could you elaborate?"

The old master poked his head, as if he wanted to pry into this secret.

"That's nothing to say."

I don’t know much about the conversation and laughter, but judging from the news passed down from the master’s sect.

There seem to be two opinions.

One theory is that the two factions were interested in the same tomb, the tomb of a top grain eater, and no one wanted to give in, so the two factions began to fight.

As expected, Taoist Banshan lost, so he was cursed by Qianji Yiline.

There is another saying that the Taoist monks moved mountains. Once, they moved to the mountain where the ancestors of the Qianji lineage lived.

At that time, the Qianji lineage was furious and attacked them, and finally put this curse on the Bishan lineage.

Neither of them believed the conversation and laughter, and most of the things that could be recorded were false.

The real secret, who will write it down on paper.

"Okay, there's no need for you to go with me tomorrow morning. Pindao can go alone."

Talking and laughing, he had already come out of the bamboo house, turning his back to him and waving his hands.

The old master stood up quickly and said, "If Taoist Master doesn't go, can you find the tomb?"

When Tanxiao heard this, he smiled and looked back at the concerned old master.

"The dragon's veins wind into the clouds, and ancient tombs contain ancient songs. Hold a compass to search for treasures, and set foot on thousands of mountains to find the dragon's nest."

He waved his hand and said, "I'm worried too much."

Immediately, regardless of what he said, he walked out of the bamboo forest talking and laughing and walked towards his home.

Only halfway through, he took a detour into a nearby house. In the yard, a young man was lying on a bench basking in the sun, biting a piece of dead grass in his mouth, looking bored.

When he saw Tanxiao walking in, he jumped up subconsciously and his muscles tensed up. But in the next moment, after reacting, he lazily said: "What's the business of Taoist Tan?"

"Get ready, it's time to go."

"Where?"

Tan Xiao narrowed his eyes at the man in front of him and said softly: "Fight for your life!"

When Shi Ji heard these two words, he suddenly shivered, and his whole body, which was originally like mud, came to life.

"Okay! I'll go clean it up right now."

Seeing his excitement, he joked and said, "This floor is no better than the previous one and two floors. You have undead ghosts to use."

"We are all mortals on this level. If we die, we will die here forever. Even if you die, you will have to stay in this Evil Suppression Tower forever."

"So this time, you only have one life."

Shi Ji's original excitement was doused by cold water. He wanted to argue several times, but he didn't know what to say.

Finally, looking at the figure walking away talking and laughing, he had no choice but to look up to the sky and roar.

"I, Shi Ji, am a person with a certain field!"

A broom was thrown out of the room, followed by the woman's curse: "It's useless for you to be so old and you can't even sweep the floor."

Shi Ji turned around and became furious. He wanted to curse a few words, but he thought of his current status.

Also, it was the first time I experienced such a dream, and it felt quite strange, so I had to say: "It's just my son, beat him to death and let's see what you do!"

It's day, dusk.

Tanxiao, who had changed into tight-fitting clothes, was guarding the end of the village. He was carrying a luggage and many things on his waist. After waiting for a while, he looked at a man who was carrying a simple knife on his back and nothing else. Came over sneakily.

"No, you didn't even tell your parents?"

When Tanxiao saw him like this, he guessed it.

Shi Ji was stunned for a moment, "Do you still need to say this? I will definitely not be able to leave."

"You...you go away for a few days without saying hello to your family, and they will go crazy looking for someone!" He laughed and said, but he actually regretted why he was assigned to the same town as this guy.

"Isn't this just a dream? You don't care what they do, it doesn't matter if they die." Shi Ji didn't understand.

Tan Xiao chuckled and said, "Whether you can leave this dreamland or not depends on the opinions of the people in our town."

"Go and tell the old master now and ask him to go to your house to say hello tomorrow morning. Go quickly!"

If another person dared to talk to him like this, Shi Ji would definitely slap him away.

But this person in front of him was just talking and talking... Every time Shi Ji saw him, he would think of his fear of being dominated by him when he was on the first floor.

"alright."

Shi Ji had no choice but to return to the town under the moonlight.

After waiting for about half an hour, he came back and cursed: "This old master is also careless. He went to someone else's house in the middle of the night."

"Huh?" Tanxiao was a little shocked. How old is this old master?

"Oh no, he went to practice medicine. Someone's baby got sick in the middle of the night. He went over to check on her."

Tanxiao twitched his lips and said, "Let's go."

"No, Taoist Priest, how do you know where the tomb is?"

"Just find a high place and take a look and you will know." Tanxiao said it very casually.

Whether it's Taoist Banshan's observation of Feng Shui and terrain to determine acupoints, or Jin Xiaowei's analysis of Jin's acupoints.

I can talk and laugh a little bit.

As for the Xiling Rikishi... People in this profession often gather a large number of people to act together.

The human wave tactic is their usual method.

Therefore, they are often not the same as the other three factions.

This can also be seen from their titles. If you don't take action, it's fine. Once you take action, it's Xiling.

Shi Ji didn't understand either. Anyway, he just did whatever he was asked to do by talking and laughing.

It took the two of them nearly an hour to climb to the top of the mountain called Yuewan Mountain. Taking advantage of the moonlight, they talked and laughed and took out a compass from the pouch on his back, and then sat down to watch the stars.

"Can this really be seen?"

Shi Ji also sat next to him and looked up, feeling that all the stars in the sky were the same. What could be seen from this?
"If you're looking for a big tomb, you can find it. Forget about small tombs."

As he spoke, he looked down at the mountains that looked like crawling giant beasts in the night, "We have to come back before the sun comes out, so we can only find a smaller tomb nearby to test the water and see what's underneath this ground." Let’s talk about what happens.”

"I found it. There is probably a tomb there."

Tanxiao pointed to a mountain in front of him on the left. Under the moonlight, the mountain looked like a lying copper coin.

"How do you know?" Shi Ji didn't believe it.

Tanxiao said with a smile: "The Copper Coin Mountain is as powerful as a copper coin, and there are secrets on the mountainside waiting for fate." "As long as the people around here are not stupid, well... as long as this is really a world of tomb robbers, then there will definitely be a tomb there."

After talking and joking, he stuffed the compass back into his bag, "Let's go now. If we're lucky, we can still watch the sunrise when we get there."

"Okay, you little Taoist priest isn't even tired, so I won't be afraid."

After Shi Ji finished speaking, he put the simple knife on his shoulder, put his hands on it, and headed down the mountain.

It is self-evident to drive on a mountain road at night, and the hardship is self-evident. Fortunately, the moonlight is bright, otherwise, we would not even be able to see the road clearly.

Along the way, there were howling wolves and howling ghosts.

Fortunately, Shi Ji was quite capable and looked completely unafraid. Otherwise, he would have had to wait until daytime to talk and laugh before he dared to set off.

The journey was leisurely, but fortunately we finally reached the halfway point of Tongqian Mountain before sunrise.

At this time, the morning sun had not yet come out, so the two of them rested on a protruding rock and ate dry food.

Shi Ji sat on the ground and was too lazy to move. He talked and laughed while walking around with dry food in hand.

It wasn't until he had circled the rock four or five times that Shi Ji couldn't help but ask: "I'm talking about Taoist priest, have you seen a sign?"

"You can see it."

"what?"

"The tomb is right there. Once we're full, we'll go to work."

Tanxiao pointed to the large piece of land in the middle of the mountain col and drew a circle in the air, which meant that that large piece of land was filled with tombs.

"Ok?"

Shi Ji stared again and looked carefully, but still couldn't see anything. "Okay, I will accompany you for a walk later."

"Let's make an agreement first. If there really is a tomb in this place, I will listen to you in everything. If there isn't... you won't be able to tell me what to do in the future, at least not in this third world."

"to make."

Talking and laughing a little happily, this can be regarded as a little bit of fun in the midst of boredom. Although I know that I will win, it is also a pleasure to see others suffer.

There was no way to go down from this ridge to the col. Tanxiao gave Shi Ji the hatchet he carried with him and asked him to open the way ahead.

Fortunately, there were shrubs along the way, not even a cedar tree with slightly larger roots.

All the way to the center of the mountain col, he talked and laughed and walked around in a slightly larger circle. The compass in his hand seemed to be constantly looking for the direction. After walking around, he came to a piece of rocky and horizontal wood. place, jumped.

"It's a water hole, hopefully there's something left in it."

"That's it, you dig..."

After talking and joking, I looked at the stone table and saw that this guy only brought a simple knife and nothing else.

Shi Ji also obeyed, thrust his knife into the ground, and began to pry up the crossbar.

"What water hole are you talking about?"

“Those that have seen water or have been dug are called water holes.”

"Then the unexcavated part is the fire hole?"

"clever."

For some reason, Shi Ji felt like grinning after being praised like this by Tan Xiao.

He forcefully pried open the two upper horizontal beams, and found that there was something underneath, and he could vaguely see that there was a dark patch of darkness under the horizontal beams.

"There seems to be a hole underneath..."

Shi Ji put his hand in and moved it hard.

Although he no longer has the power of the immortal ghost, his strength is still far superior to that of ordinary people.

With all his strength, he managed to open up the man cave.

"It actually does exist!"

Shi Ji looked at the entrance of the cave, his eyes full of shock.

Talking and laughing very calmly, he took out a chisel (an iron chisel) from his bag, squatted down, and started tapping on the crossbar.

Crush the rotten parts on top and look at the intact parts inside to estimate the approximate time.

Shi Ji couldn't understand this, so he asked: "Tan...Taoist Master Tan, can you tell me how you knew there was a tomb here?"

"This place has good Feng Shui. When I climbed to the top of the mountain before, I guessed there was a tomb here based on the Feng Shui."

"Then how are you sure it's here and not somewhere else?"

Maybe it's because I only have one life this time, or maybe it's because I'm talking and laughing.

Shi Ji finally looked like a normal person this time.

After talking and joking about the time, he put away his bare mouth, sat down on the ground, took off the bag and checked it, and said:
"I don't know if you didn't look carefully when we were on that ridge just now. This large area is full of shrubs, and there is not a single tall tree."

"Yeah, what does this mean?"

Tanxiao took out a few sticks of incense and blood-stained paper money from the bag, "There are two situations. One is that there is a big tomb here. In the early years, when there were still people worshiping him, his descendants would clean up the tombs that had grown for him. trees.”

“It is unlucky to have a tree on a grave, and its roots can easily damage the structure of the grave.”

As he spoke, he pierced the paper money with the end of the incense stick, then inserted the incense on the edge of the former man cave, and continued: "The second situation is that there is a large tomb with a rammed earth layer underneath. The rammed earth layer is not soaked in water. So big trees can’t grow because there’s not enough water.”

"Whichever of the two cases is the case, it means there is a large tomb here."

Shi Ji understood now and nodded repeatedly, "What are you doing now, Taoist Priest?"

Tanxiao looked back at him, "Everyone must pay homage to the Earthly Immortal before going to the grave. This is the rule of our profession."

"What's our business?"

Before Shi Ji could react, Tan Xiao had already lit incense and paper money.

"Do what you do and love what you do. We are just peasants now. Don't think too much."

"Okay, whatever you say is what it is."

"Well, just bow. Then bury the paper money and incense. We are going to the grave. We should have left a local master here to put the cards, but we don't have enough manpower, so we don't care."

"okay."

Shi Ji dug a small hole next to it with a simple knife, and after burying the ashes and incense in it, he also used crossbars to block the dug-out land.

Tanxiao watched this scene silently. It wasn't until Shi Ji finished that he said, "Looking at you, you shouldn't be such a brainless and reckless person. What's going on?"

Hearing this question, Shi Ji fell silent.

Just when Tanxiao thought he didn't want to say anything and was about to go down into the cave, he said: "Before I got the immortal ghost, I was actually just a rogue in the ghost cave city, hanging around all day long, but actually I understand everything after I changed... "

"As for after controlling the undead ghost, I didn't want to be controlled by others anymore, but some people were always targeting me. I had no choice but to create a personality like that for myself. Anyway, it was good. At least I could be myself. Myself."

Shi Ji shrugged as he said, "I haven't had this feeling of just being an ordinary person for a long time. Maybe it's just this time. Taoist Tan remembers to keep it a secret for me."

I understand the conversation and laughter, and everyone who has made it this far has a story.

Likewise, everyone has secrets.

"So after leaving this level, is that undead ghost Shiji again?"

"Yes."

Shi Ji grinned.

Tanxiao followed up with a knowing smile, and said no more, "I'll go ahead, you follow... Now that we've said it, don't be so reckless."

"I try my best, but maybe I still can't change, haha."

While the two of them were talking, their laughter and laughter had slipped into the small robbery hole.

The Thief's Cave is very deep, but the slope is not very steep. You can easily go deep into it by hunkering down and relying on your feet. Perhaps it was because it had rained a few days ago, and the part near the surface was still very wet, so there was not much chatting and laughing. My clothes were all covered in mud.

But after going down about a foot and entering the rammed soil layer, the soil dried up.

It was so dark inside the Thief's Cave that I couldn't see clearly what was happening and laughing. I didn't know how deep it was, but it just kept going down.

Suddenly, his feet were empty, and he hurriedly reached out and grabbed it to the side, but fortunately, it was not deep, so he stepped directly onto the ground and stood firm.

"It's over."

He shouted, then got out of the robbery hole, and quickly took out a candle from his bag in the dark and lit it.

After a while, the stone table has also come down.

The light shone all around, and Tanxiao was able to take stock of the surrounding environment.

We are in a stone room. The place is not big. There are several broken bottles and jars piled in the corner. The surroundings are covered with cobwebs. The sound of crickets can be vaguely heard. Other than that, there are only carvings on the stone wall. With pattern.

Nothing more.

Tanxiao took out his compass again and said, "We should be in the ear room of this tomb."

After speaking, he frowned.

"This tomb... I'm afraid there is a ghost."

-

ps: After listening to the advice of book friends, when writing about tomb robbing, it is indeed more interesting to write from the main point of view and talk about the story.

After all, as Li Daoxuan said, you also know that the reckless butcher... can only draw A.

Go all the way.

Of course, both perspectives are indispensable. A flat A has the pleasure of a flat A, and technical operations have the charm of technical operations, so they will be intertwined, but the main point is to talk about the perspective of the Taoist priest. Do you think this can work? If it doesn’t work, you can say it here, I took your advice...
