The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 193 The Feather Gate's Clue

The wind was very strong in the mountains, mixed with light snow, and it was very cold. Since it was getting late, there was no one in the yard. Tan Ren led us into the house of an old couple who lived here. Four of us, 800 yuan a night The old couple were very satisfied with the money for the overnight stay, and they were very enthusiastic. They made hot tea and served some hot dishes and meals for us when we entered the house. We took our little granddaughter to watch TV in the lobby, worrying that the little granddaughter would make a noise. us.

The food is relatively simple, but we are not the kind of picky people. What have we not eaten in the Burmese jungle?So now she is holding a big bowl to eat, Tang Linlin eats more than me, I don't know how her little stomach holds it.

I was a bit full from the meal, so I lay on the chair and touched my stomach, and I got Tang Linlin's contemptuous gaze.

After eating almost, Zhou Xuanye asked: "Senior brother, how is Master's health?"

Tan Ren rubbed his chin and said: "It's still the same, very strong, and we have taken in two more apprentices, plus the previous juniors and juniors. Now let's see, it's really flourishing." When Zhou Xuanye said this, Zhou Xuanye Immediately, he said sympathetically, "Have you been blackmailed for a lot of meeting gifts?"

Tan Ren rolled his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Anyway, my wallet is empty."

I couldn't help feeling curious when I heard this, because these two people rarely talked about the specific situation of the Three Sons Temple. I only remember Zhou Xuanye said that the Three Sons Temple flourished for a period of time at the beginning, and then it fell into disrepair. It has become a waste of no one.Later, after the war was over, the Taoist monk who had become a monk in the Three Sons Temple returned to the Three Sons Temple and became the new master of the temple. He accepted the masters of Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye, and passed on the incense. .

In my image, I thought the Three Sons Temple should be a dilapidated small temple. Listening to the conversation between the two of them now, it seems that the Three Sons Temple is quite popular now?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking.

As soon as Tan Ren heard my thoughts, he immediately sneered and said, "Do you think it is still the same as in the past? I have no experience." I knew that he was virtuous when he spoke, so I didn't take it to heart, and said directly: "The little one is just ignorant. Boss Tan, please advise me."

He hissed, saying that my skin was getting thicker and thicker, and after washing me off, he talked about some things about the Three Sons View.

The times are different now, and the management of temples is also different.

Sanziguan followed the way of Taoism, so the pattern is also the pattern of Taoist temple.

However, the geographical location of Sanzi Temple is quite good, surrounded by mountains and array of strange peaks. In spring, everything grows and streams gurgling; in summer, the trees are lush and the animals sing and cranes sing; , It is also wrapped in silver, so beautiful.

Nowadays, everything is economical. When the economy is good, I like to travel everywhere. But any beautiful place cannot escape the fate of being developed by tourism.The location of Sanzi Temple is also similar. After the tourist routes are developed, there are more tourists, and the public temple is also beautifully repaired, so there are naturally more people.

But if you really want to learn skills, whether it’s cultivating Taoism, refining corpses, learning Qimen Dunjia, or Yigua divination, you need to concentrate and have no distractions. If everyone is busy receiving tourists all day long, no one has the heart to be serious learn things.

Therefore, some big temples in the Taoist sect have always been divided into inner and outer sects.

Of course, there is no strict distinction between the inner and outer doors, it is just a default rule.People in the same temple are often divided into two groups. Those who really seek the Tao and have talents often don't get in touch with trivial things like tourists. They have the space to live alone.The other group of people, that is, those from the outer sect, are mostly busy with vulgar things. When tourists go to places like Taoist temples, most of the people they come into contact with are from the outer sect. It's another matter to come out to experience life and help receive tourists.

Although the Sanziguan is small, it also defaults to this method. It is considered that the population is prosperous. Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye are typical people in the inner sect. They came out after learning the real skills. The Buddhist school is so strict, and since ancient times, there have been ways to experience the world, and it is not limited to the temples. Of course, if there is any important matter in the master's school, it must be rushed back to help.

This time when Tan Ren returned to the master's school, he was plundered by the group of juniors and juniors. This iron cock was so aggrieved, he swore to God that next time something happened, he would definitely let Zhou Xuanye go back, and he would never go back again.

"Senior brother, it's not like you don't know about my situation. If I have to go back, I will inevitably be blamed, and I may be put in confinement." Zhou Xuanye laughed.

Tang Linlin felt strange, and asked, "Confinement? Could it be that you did something to offend your teacher?"

Zhou Xuanye rubbed his nose, apparently he didn't want to answer this question, but Tan Ren didn't want to cover it up for him, but instead took a look at me, and said calmly: "He looks like this, if you go back and look, you will know that he has used it for three times. Altar descending technique, this is my access control technique, not to mention hurting the body, but also damaging the morality, do you think he dares to go back?"

Only then did I understand the reason. I didn't know what to say for a while, so I sat up straight and felt guilty: "Brother Zhou, I...I, why didn't you tell me?" Although he said It will damage lifespan, but they didn't tell me that it will also damage Yinde.Having been with these two people for more than half a year, I also have some understanding of this aspect. For people like Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye, accumulating virtue is more important than anything else.

At this moment, I felt both guilty and unbelievable. If the price was so high, why did Zhou Xuanye save me?I have a good temper, and I am indeed not the kind of person who is hated by others, but I have not been liked to the point of sacrificing for me at any time.

I, Su Tiangu, have no virtue or ability...

Zhou Xuanye glanced at Tan Ren quite dissatisfied, and said: "It's over, what are you doing now?" Then he sighed and said to me: "Don't think too much, I was the one who brought you into the desert back then. Yes, if this is the case, it is my responsibility, besides, am I not living well now? As long as people are still alive, there is a chance to get back what has been lost. "

I suppressed the gratitude in my heart, nodded, and didn't say any more, and everyone revealed the words tacitly. Then, Tan Ren talked about what he had inquired about this time.

Yumen is a very old place, even if it was the first attack, it didn't affect them, because they were almost isolated from the world.What Tan Ren's master knows is also limited. He only heard that people from Yumen appeared in this area more than 40 years ago. People in Yumen seldom go out for a walk. , perhaps in the vicinity of this area.

And Tan Ren arrived at this place half a day earlier than us, and he also asked about Yumen from the people around him, but none of the villagers around knew about it.

On the contrary, it was the person we borrowed from, and the old man mentioned a clue that made Tan Ren feel reliable.

Tang Linlin immediately asked, "What clue?"

Tan Ren said: "Behind Longyin Ridge, there is a cliff. People in Qiaojia Village have a tradition of offering sacrifices to bird gods for generations. Every autumn, there will be a sacrificial activity, and some things like rice will be scattered. Under the cliff. After the Great Famine, the Great Revolution, and successive blows, the sacrifices had to be stopped. Up to now, no one is carrying out such sacrifices.”

Tang Linlin rubbed her chin and speculated: "You mean, this ancient activity of offering sacrifices to the sound of birds is probably related to the people from Yumen?"

Tan Ren hummed, but didn't speak again.

I said: "The people of Yumen worship birds as gods. If their gathering places are nearby, their culture will inevitably affect the surrounding areas. I think this clue is very reliable. You are, then Yumen, could it be somewhere under that cliff?"

The corner of Tan Ren's mouth hooked up, and he said with a half-smile: "I still use you as an afterthought. I have already bought some things and equipment for mountaineering, and they will deliver them tomorrow. At that time, let's go to the bottom of the cliff to see look."

Everyone determined their target and collected the dishes. Tang Linlin and I were going to wash the dishes, but we were stopped by the old couple. The old lady packed the dishes and went to the kitchen to do the washing. The old man led us to the resting room. I said: After thanking him, he went out by himself.

Although the house is old, the house in the past had a lot of space, so the room was sufficient, one room per person, but the quilt was a bit old, because it was winter, there was no heating or air conditioning in the room, and it was very cold.I washed my feet, shrank into the quilt and was about to sleep, when a gray-white human head suddenly protruded from my shoulder, with a look of grievance on my round face: "Brother, you are asleep."

My heart was pounding with fright, and I couldn't help gnashing my teeth: "Is it okay to say hello before I come out next time? It's so elusive and unexpected, I'm so scared to death, who can still sleep."

The little ghost said: "Then get up and play with me."

I was tired all day, so I didn't have energy, so I said: "Little child, if you don't sleep at night, you won't grow taller."

"We ghosts don't need to sleep. You just don't want to get up and play with me..."

"Brother, dear brother, can you play by yourself? I'm human. If I don't sleep now, how can I work tomorrow? Be good, go outside and make a snowman or something. If it's so good, I'll add another one to you tomorrow night. Incense."

"Really!" Hearing the word "Xiang", its eyes lit up, and it immediately stood up, its naked body jumping up and down, although I really wanted to control myself, but my eyes still involuntarily turned towards the little bird between its legs Gaze over.
