After resting for about a long time, Wang Fu finally recovered his magic power, opened his Dharma Eyes, and scanned the ruins of the Taoist temple.
The old ghost was cunning and he had to be on guard for fear that things would happen again.
"good!"
Every corner of the ruins was scanned and nothing was missed.
The old ghost's life fire was completely extinguished and the candle disappeared without a trace. It was certain that he was dead.
Not to mention this, Wang Fu took a closer look with his Dharma eyes and determined that there were no hidden dangers.
As for traps and the like! The Taoist temple has collapsed, so why should we worry?
"Excavate!"
Without saying a word, Wang Fu got into the ruins and got busy. He had no choice but to go back to his hometown and it would take a lot of money!
The old ghost was shattered by the thunder, but there should be a lot of things hidden inside the Taoist temple.
Among other things, if the boy's incense burner is melted, you can get a lot of brass. Copper is money these days.
I worked until late at night and finally plowed the ruins from front to back.
Counting the harvest…
A large piece of irregularly shaped gold. Previously, Wang Fu inserted a candlestick, a gold ruler and other gold objects into the old ghost to conduct electricity, which caused the thunder to strike. The old ghost disappeared into thin air and the gold objects melted.
This piece of gold alone was not only enough to pay for his return home, it was also enough for Wang Fu to buy land and cattle for Xiao Fu'er's parents, and to purchase a family property.
The boy's incense burner has survived Taoist temple explosions, collapses, and fires caused by scurrying rats, but it is still in ruins.
"this……"
The incense burner has long been beyond recognition and has been melted into a twisted shape, somewhat similar to the "one-legged bronze man" that Wang Fu has seen in martial arts novels.
Pack it up and put it away. No matter how ugly it is, it is still a piece of pure copper. If you spend it at a blacksmith shop, you can exchange it for a lot of copper coins.
Apart from this, there is not much else to gain. After all, the gold and bronze vessels were so damaged by the explosion and collapse, let alone others.
Wang Fu picked and picked, and managed to collect three or two sets of clothes, as well as four or five days of dry food, and bundled them together with gold nuggets and bronze figures, just enough to carry them on the road.
Seeing that the ruins were almost completely plundered, Wang Fu decided to stop there and turned around to leave the rubble.
"Crack!"
A faint falling sound sounded in Wang Fu's ears.
not good!
Wang Fu's expression changed drastically, he jumped up and ran towards the ground as if running for his life.
as expected……
Wang Fu threw out the rubble, which was only about ten steps away. After a few breaths, the rubble began to shake violently, and the broken bricks and tiles were beating, as if they were about to break away from the ground.
Aftermath? Second collapse?
In Wang Fu's surprised eyes, a bottomless pit appeared out of the ground, swallowing up the ruins.
"Ahem!"
Wang Fu waited until the shaking on the ground disappeared and the dust was mostly dispersed, and finally he dared to get closer and take a look.
The ruins disappeared without a trace, leaving only a large pit beneath the original location of the Taoist temple.
"Well you old ghost."
It turns out that there is a cellar underneath the ground, and there are various broken limbs and bones in it, which should be Xiao Fu'er's predecessors.
In addition, there is a copper-clad mahogany box hidden in the cellar.
"The old ghost is so shrewd. He has hidden all his secrets and is ready to run away at any time."
Wang Fu opened the wooden box carelessly, and was suddenly stunned. Unlike the soft gold and silver he imagined, there were only a few pieces of jade inside, pressed on a few books, and nothing else.
It shouldn’t be!
With the old ghost's ability, he can make money easily, so how can he be so poor?
Wang Fu did not believe in evil and thought that there was a place in the book where he hid his money, so he quickly opened a book to check.
I was completely mesmerized by this look, and I didn't realize that the golden crow was sinking in the west, the jade bird was rising in the east, and night was falling quietly.
The bright moonlight was like water, shining on Wang Fu's head and shoulders, motionless.
It turns out that the book records in the wooden box are the escape route specially arranged for himself by the old ghost after his reincarnation.
He also knew that reviving a dead body was extremely risky, as it was very likely to cause brain damage and memory loss, so he specially made backups.
The book records in detail the origins of Xiao Fu'er's net worth and background, which will make it easier for him to travel in the future.
The remaining 90% of the pages are the old ghost's daily records, about his true life experience.
Wang Fu took a few glances and realized, isn't this a diary?
Who is a serious person who keeps a diary? Bah!
The origin of Lao Gui is extraordinary. He is a registered disciple of Zhenxian Mansion in Yuhua Mountain, and his Taoist background is very deep.
He was originally a Taoist with a promising future, but he got unlucky (haha) and was killed by soldiers.
Here we will talk about the military solution.
Taoist practitioners' ability to put gold on their faces is no worse than that of a bald man.
Death is not called death, it is called "liberation", haha!
They collectively refer to deaths during spiritual practice as 'dismemberment'.
There are many types of corpse disintegration. Killing with a knife is called "Bing Xie", falling into water and drowning is "Water Dissolution", beating to death with sticks is "Zhang Dissolution", etc.!
It is said that the old ghost was killed by soldiers, well, he was hacked to death. His wandering soul drifted to the mountains and found refuge in a dilapidated and deserted Taoist temple.
People who die suddenly become ghosts easily, and over time, old ghosts become old ghosts.
The first one is a diary, where the old ghost records his daily life. He writes down his past events in fragmentary words, and also vents his emotions.
Wang Fu hurriedly flipped through a few pages to get a rough idea, but lost interest in reading.
Then the second one...
"The Northern Emperor's Secret Book of Conquering Demons and True Martial Arts".
Turtle Breath Kung Fu comes from this secret book and is an introductory technique.
The old ghost is also insidious, turning a righteous and peaceful introductory martial art into a tool for seizing bodies and killing people.
The more Wang Fu read, the more excited he became. He was on the right path. By practicing according to the secret scriptures, the bright road was right in front of him.
In the secret book, there are practice routes, corresponding spells, as well as altars, elixirs, spiritual talismans, etc. to assist practice, to build a complete practice system.
Judging from this point alone, Zhenxian Mansion definitely has Taoist-certified educational qualifications, not Pheasant University.
The third book is "Encyclopedia of Spells", which is similar to a collection of exercises.
Wang Fu flipped through a few pages, and there were still a few that he was familiar with. They were some spells commonly used in medical self-study. Now that they have magic power, they should be more miraculous.
The fourth untitled book, depending on the content, is a cheat sheet left by an old ghost, recording the strange places, objects and people he heard and experienced, for future exploration.
In addition to these four books, a few pieces of jade are also relatively exquisite, but they do not have any function for the time being.
Wang Fu took a deep breath and hid a few books close to his body. This was his future.
"It's time to leave."
Wang Fu was walking down the mountain, carrying gold nuggets and bronze utensils. Although he was heavy, his steps became more and more brisk.
This inexplicable emotion was the remaining consciousness of Xiao Fu'er, who was overjoyed to know that he was about to return home to see his family.
"Xiao Fu'er, I borrowed your body to be reborn, and my essence is no different from that old ghost. But I will understand your wish for you, and all the cause and effect will now be borne by me, Wang Fu."
After saying these words, the heavy burden in Wang Fu's heart disappeared. He raised his head and looked ahead. Although it was dusk in the morning, it was full of infinite bright possibilities.
Halfway up the mountain, a white shadow flashed before his eyes, and Wang Fu stopped.
In a clump of low bushes, a screen is inserted diagonally, which is exactly what the old ghost often uses in Taoist temples.
