Chapter 462: Exploring the Earth for Treasure Hunting
This trip was originally for the turtle treasure, but Taiping Taoist took the initiative to offer the turtle treasure, which made it very embarrassing. Taiping Taoist is a simple and kind-hearted person, and he is an honest man. He calculated this little thing about it.
It's not very kind.
Taiping Taoist didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't answer, he became a little anxious and said, "Master, you just said that the court also needs money. I don't know if you are telling the truth or just to deal with those evil people. No matter what it is,
In this case, please take this thing away with you. I am devoted to cultivation and do not seek wealth and honor. This thing is of no use to me. Keeping it around will only bring disaster to me."
Hearing Taoist Taiping's words, he reached out and took the red ball. Taoist Taiping had already mentioned this, and if he refused, it would not be polite but hypocritical.
It can be seen that the Taiping Taoist really wanted to send this hot potato away. After taking the turtle treasure, the Taiping Taoist was relieved and took a long breath.
Holding the turtle treasure in his hand, he said seriously, "To tell the truth from the Taoist Priest, the war in Huangchao greatly damaged the vitality of the Tang Dynasty. Many people in various states and counties starve to death every year during the lean season. The Taoist Priest's generous gift will benefit countless people."
Staying alive is actually a sign of great benevolence and immeasurable merit."
His words made the Taiping Taoist quite frightened, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "The real person is overly praised, and the poor Taoist cannot deserve it. I gave this thing to the real person just to avoid disasters, and I didn't think much about anything else."
"Taoist priests don't need to be too modest. Whether you do it intentionally or not, you will be rewarded if you accumulate virtue and do good deeds." He said.
The more he said this, the more embarrassed Taiping Taoist became. In order to relieve the embarrassment, he hurriedly raised his hand sideways and said, "It's cold outside, please speak in the palace."
He raised his hand in courtesy, and then followed the Taiping Taoist to the main room.
When the two of them were talking, little Jin Baoer couldn't bear the cold and had already gone to the stove in the west wing to warm himself up. When Taiping Taoist led him to the main room, he turned to look at the west wing and rushed to the deaf-mute old woman standing at the door.
He made a gesture of making tea.
Due to the previous looting and looting by Gongsun Chengwei and others, the temple was very messy. Taiping Taoist priests immediately began to move and tidy up the temple after entering the temple, and took the opportunity to offer incense to the statues. This was also the inherent etiquette for Taoists visiting other Taoist temples.
After a brief tidying up, the two of them took their seats as guest and host. Taiping Taoist again solemnly thanked him, waved his hands and said:
, "Taoist Master, the property in the Taoist temple has been looted by those soldiers and bandits, and you have given the spiritual bead to the court. How will you live in the future?"
The Taiping Taoist shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about it. The villains only stole the items outside. There is still a lot of gold and silver in the cellar, which is enough for the three of us to live on."
After hearing what Taiping Taoist said, I felt relieved and asked, "Excuse me, Taoist Priest, how to use this spirit bead?"
"You only need to wear this thing with you to search for treasures in the dark night. You can have a panoramic view of gold, silver, pearls and jade within nine feet of the ground." Taiping Taoist paused for a moment before continuing, "If you want to see
If it is deeper, you need to cut the skin and insert it into the left arm Cun Guanchi. After it is connected with the flesh and blood, you can see down to three feet."
Hearing Taoist Taoist Taiping's words, he nodded repeatedly and turned to keep the turtle treasure red bead close to his body.
At this moment, the deaf-mute old woman brought tea, and little Jinbaoer followed the old woman to the main room. When the old woman put down the tea bowl, little Jinbao followed her back to the west wing.
With tea in hand, he asked casually, "Taoist Master, is Hao Jinbao still obedient?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Taiping Taoist nodded and answered.
Although Taiping Taoist said it was good, he did not think it was true, because Xiao Jinbao was the reincarnation of the monk who saw his nature, and the little fat man Ding Dazhong who was the reincarnation of Dorje Dharma King was the reincarnation of the eminent monk. Children like the reincarnation of such eminent monks,
He was very naughty before his past life memories came back to him.
"Taoist priest is tired." He thanked him tactfully. As the saying goes, you should be loyal to others. Yu Yi's Zhengyan Fa Zang and Shi Xuanming's Notes on Conquering Demons are Buddhist magical powers left by monk Jianxing. Since you have taken other people's things,
He should complete the errands entrusted by others. In fact, he should take care of little Jinbao. Taiping Taoist is raising it on his behalf.
Taiping Taoist waved his hand and said, "The real man is serious. This child was brought to the mountain by a poor Taoist. Everything is due to fate."
What the Taiping Taoist said was correct. It was indeed the dog that brought the little Jinbao to Taiping Temple. However, at that time, the Taiping Taoist wanted to take the little Jinbao as a gift.
As an apprentice, who knew that little Jinbao was the reincarnation of an Arhat, so naturally he couldn't be accepted as an apprentice. In this case, he would become a wet nurse and take care of the child, which would be a waste of time.
He took a sip of tea and returned the cup to the table, "Children are naughty, so Taoist priests don't need to overindulge them on weekdays. Don't let them go down the mountain casually in the future. They always give away money and show off their wealth, so as not to reveal their wealth and cause disaster."
"What the real person reminds me is," Taiping Taoist nodded and asked, "I just heard those evil people calling the real person the prince. The real person is a highly skilled mage of our sect. How did he become the thousand-year-old prince?"
He said casually, "The Taoist priest lives in seclusion and has no distractions. I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the situation outside the mountain. At present, wars are raging and the people are in dire straits. I followed Zhenren Zhang from Longhu Mountain to become an official. I made some achievements and was named a king by the current emperor.
.”
"Oh, oh." Taiping Taoist is not interested in the political situation.
The Taiping Taoist was a heterogeneous person and was not good at talking. After that, he became silent and did not want to wait any longer, so he asked, "May I ask, sir, do you have any predictions about the time of the tribulation?"
"Returning to the real question," Taiping Taoist shook his head and said, "A poor Taoist is stupid by nature, and crossing the tribulation into the purple is like running a horse on Wangshan Mountain. It seems to be close at hand, but in fact it is far away."
After hearing what Taiping Taoist said, he raised his head and drank the tea in the tea bowl, then poured a little spiritual energy into the tea bowl, "Taoist Master, please put this tea bowl away. If you have a premonition that the catastrophe is approaching or you are in danger again, you will put it in the tea bowl."
If the tea bowl is smashed, I will sense it and will come as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the Taiping Taoist stood up, bowed his head repeatedly, and solemnly thanked him.
He stood up, raised his hand to return the salute, and then said, "I happened to be on an errand from the South this time, so I came immediately when I sensed the call. I usually travel around, so I may not be nearby. If the Taoist priest has any orders, it's best to come here."
Can be informed in advance.”
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me. I will note it down." Taiping Taoist nodded.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and I don't want to wait any longer. I thank you again and raise my hand to say goodbye.
Taiping Taoist said, "The master has come a long way, and there are many hardships on the way. The meal has been prepared under the stove. If the master does not give up..."
Before Taiping Taoist could finish speaking, he waved his hand and interrupted it.
If you say, "Don't bother me anymore, I'm leaving now."
Seeing that he had decided to leave, Taiping Taoist no longer wanted to stay and sent him out personally.
Gongsun Chengwei and others left in a panic, and a lot of utensils fell outside the door. They sent out a whistle to summon Mr. Hei, and when Mr. Hei arrived, he helped the Taiping Taoist pick up various utensils scattered on the ground.
Because the turtle treasure is collected close to the body, it works invisibly, and the objects scattered on the ground have an extra layer of light in the eyes. The gold objects emit a golden light, the silver ones emit a silvery light, and the copper objects emit a silvery light.
What is emitted is a greenish-yellow light.
Phosgene is just a thin layer, tightly attached to the periphery of the utensils. At this time, the utensils are not buried deep underground, so the utensils themselves can be seen. If the utensils are buried deep underground, the phosgene can also be used to determine what is buried underground.
What shape and material it is.
When Young Master Hei arrived, he took off a few square tea bricks from his horse and gave them to Taoist Taiping. In fact, the gifts he prepared for Taoist Taiping were far more than these, but it was inconvenient for him to take them all out at this time, otherwise he would not have come here temporarily.
, but have been prepared in advance.
Taoist Taiping took the brick of tea and thanked him. He wanted to say a few more words, but he did not say anything after thinking about it. Taoist Taiping was not an aggressive person, he was even a bit cowardly. This kind of persuasion was useless.
Dare to fight with others to the death.
He said goodbye to Taiping Taoist, got on his horse, and galloped eastward.
This trip to the south went extremely smoothly, and the pressure in my heart was relieved a little, and I was lucky to get it in time. If I had arrived a moment later, the Taiping Taoist would have been killed by Gongsun Chengwei and others, and with the behavior of the Beggar Gang,
Killing and silencing is inevitable, and little Jinbao and the deaf-mute old woman will certainly not be spared by then.
It was almost the fourth watch at this time, and it was still dark. I wanted to test the turtle treasure, so I urged my horse to move quickly. Taiping Taoists have been active in this area all year round, and even if there are any good things in the ground, they have dug them away.
When we arrived in Ashan County, we found a lot of phosgene appearing underground. Although things were buried deep underground and their true appearance was not visible, we could tell what they were by the shape and color of the phosgene.
However, Ashan County is very poor. If you look around, you will see that most of the underground is densely populated with copper coins, and there is nothing very good...
