Chapter 29: The Ghost Case in the Imperial Capital (Half a Sheepskin Scroll)
???I helped Qiuyan up and let her lean against the wall. Her soul was very weak and disappeared little by little. The silver powder floating away from her body was like stars.
After she glanced at me, she found a position she thought was comfortable, and then took out half a piece of brown paper to me.
I took it and saw that it was sheepskin, and it was indescribable. I looked at her in confusion and saw her breathing a sigh of relief.
No gas was blown out, but he instinctively did such an action.
"This is what my brother brought out from the tomb."
She said. I was shocked when I heard this and thought to myself that Qiu Yan's brother was also a tomb robber, no wonder she had a divine jade like ghosts and gods.
"What Zhang Qicheng wants is it and ghosts and gods"
"What's hidden in it?"
"I don't know either. After my brother gave me them, he never contacted me again. Until a month ago, Zhang Qicheng came to me with a photo of his brother's death, saying that he died in the tomb, and then said that the jade and the parchment were the deal between my brother and him, and asked me to give him the things."
"He must know the secrets of Ghost and God Jade and the Puffer Scroll, otherwise he wouldn't have taken any harm to you."
I said.
"I remember my brother mentioned it vaguely that the pampered scroll records the secret of immortality, so Zhang Qicheng should want to get the elixir inside."
"Where does immortality come from? It's all lies"
I was dissatisfied with the fact that when the tomb of King Guangchuan, they said that Long Dan could live forever, but I went there for a while. Not to mention Long Dan, even the dragon did not see one, and it was bought by someone.
"It doesn't matter if there is one, it doesn't matter. I'll give it to you. If you want to go and meet my brother's body, please help me clean it up."
Qiuyan wanted to hold my hand, but she didn't catch it. Finally, she sighed helplessly and simply stopped pulling it.
I took the parchment and reached out to hug her. Her weak soul could only hug her slightly, like a piece of cotton candy.
I didn't speak, she didn't speak, but leaned in my arms.
After a long silence, she suddenly said, "Your smile is as reassuring as your brother's!"
“He must be a great person”
I said: Even a tomb robber is still respectable even if he is a tomb robber.
Qiuyan smiled and said nothing, but looked at me with her eyes. After looking at me for a long time, she said again: "But you are different. My brother is a family member and you are a confidant. From the first time I saw you, I knew that my luck was coming, but the time was too short!"
I silently listened to Qiuyan expressing her feelings in my arms, and looked at her slowly disappearing feet.
I wanted to hug her tightly, but let me do whatever I could. The silver-white powder still slipped out of my hand and disappeared into the world.
"Mo Jiu, I'm lucky to know you!"
She tried her best to hold my shoulders and support her body, trying to kiss my lips. I didn't hide and let her kiss her, but I couldn't feel her or her touch.
I pinched my fists tightly and held back my anger. Another living life disappeared beside me, but I was powerless.
After Qiuyan kissed me, she showed her last smile at me and then disappeared in the silver light. She smiled, very beautiful, giving people gentleness like an angel, but God did not give her a good result.
"God, look at what you call balance. What did she do wrong? Will she end up like this?"
I roared to the sky angrily, venting my anger, but the sky was still bright and clear. Perhaps in his eyes, a life was as insignificant as dust.
I don’t know how I was taken back to the mountain by the suffering monk. I felt very confused. For the first time, I distrust myself so much and doubt the so-called reincarnation of the heavenly way.
The bitter monk sat opposite me, reading the book in his hand. I thought for a long time and suddenly said, "The cycle of reincarnation is fair for all ages, is it really fair?"
"My friend, you already have the answer in your heart, why are you trying to make things difficult for me again?"
He put down the book in his hand, then handed me a piece of wood and a carving knife and said, "The dead are gone, and the living are sad. There is a piece of heaven and earth in the back mountain. Where can I carve a spiritual position for her?"
I looked at him, reached out to take the wood and carving knife in his hand, and without saying a word, I took the thing and got up and went out.
The sun is setting, and another day has passed. From the mountain, you can see the prosperous night view of Shangjing. The wind in Liangliang Mountain is whistling. I took the thing and went straight up, climbed up the small waterfall, and then found a stone slab to sit down. Facing the first dewy stars, I waved my knife and started carving it.
I don’t know when the Li Si family came to me with a piece of wood and then placed the wood beside me.
"Brother Mo, please help me carve one too."
She said, I glanced at her, pulled the wood beside me, and carved it down with one knife. Li Si's family did not speak, but quietly accompanied me.
After Qiuyan's carving, I continued to carve hers, and during this period, she asked her to find a piece of wood. She was very confused, but she still went to get one.
After I finished carving the Li Si family, I thought about it with the carving knife, and swung the knife to carve the word "Mo Jiu" on the wood.
Then put three wooden signs in the direction facing the sky, looking at the sky, I want to ask the sky here.
The Li Si family was left on the mountain by a miserable monk. The miserable monk told me that although she made a wish for heaven, she had good thoughts in her evil body, and the heaven also let her go. As long as she was built in the ancient temple and received the Buddha's light, she could enter the cycle of reincarnation.
I am happy for her, at least she has treated her well.
At about the fourth day of the morning, I bid farewell to them and went down the mountain alone. The bitter monk wanted to send me a while, and we walked down the ladder with the traditional oil lamp.
No one spoke until the end of the stone stairs that the bitter monk stopped and handed me something. I took it and took a look and found that it was the piece of ghost and god jade.
"I have seen the curse in your hand. That parchment scroll and ghost jade may help you a little. As long as you keep your heart in mind, your qualifications will be successful sooner or later."
The bitter monk.
After hearing his words, I was not at all happy, but asked, "If I don't practice, can I avoid seeing the injustice and ugliness of the world?"
"No one can escape from the vast world. Everything is as good as you can. When you have achieved success in your cultivation, come back to this ancient temple. I will tell you some past events. Then you will know that all this is destined in the dark."
The monk said vaguely, but I heard what he was about to express. I smiled and didn't say anything, but took out a piece of jade from my small bag and handed it to the monk.
"This is the money for sesame oil. I will help me save the Li Si family!"
"It is rare that you are such a generous miser. I will sell you face and accept her as your disciple!"
The bitter monk smiled.
I nodded with satisfaction. The Scholar is a Taoist monk. It is naturally the best that the Li Si family can worship under his disciples.
"So, goodbye if you're destined to be!"
"I'm lucky to see you again when I'm lucky. I hope you will go to the next level at that time because there are a lot of things that you have to carry."
"Everyone of you said this makes me wonder if I am the savior, but looking at me like this, it is obviously not!"
I smiled and said, "The old man is, he is, so is the two of them. They are so mysterious that they don't know whether it's good or bad for hiding me."
"Anyone who has the heart is a savior, why aren't you?"
"Okay, okay, go back and recite your Buddha and eat your vegetarian food. Next time I come, you have to open your library again!"
I said, I have been thinking about his library, so I have to trick him into opening it once.
"If you come back next time and your cultivation reaches the spirit, you will open it for you once. What do you think?"
The monk heard this and gave me a huge condition. I am only at the level of art now, and he wants me to reach the spirit and cross the master and reach the level of earth. Only he has the nerve to say it.
"If you don't open, you won't open, you'll leave"
I waved my hand at him and went down the mountain without looking back. I don’t know what the way forward, but what I know is that I must go to the land recorded on parchment. Maybe there is an elixir of immortality. If I get one, that step of immortality will be just around the corner. I feel a little excited when I think about it.
At this point, the ghost case that was pulled in for no reason has a result. I thought it was an ordinary murder case, but so many people were involved. Zhang Qicheng was still free of charge, but I had no intention of causing trouble for him. The Tianyou of Li Si family would let him know what kind of pain it would be like for the tenth generation of no descendants. I took my things down the mountain and found a hotel for one night.
I slept very soundly until the next day, and it was almost one or two o'clock. I got up and touched the things in my bag. I sorted them out and planned to go to Jubao Street today to find a way to deal with them. It was not the same thing I kept with me.
After all, if I crack the things on the parchment after a while, I have to go somewhere to see them. It is really inconvenient to carry these things with me.
But who to sell to has become my biggest problem now. I don’t want to go to Uncle Wu and the others. The relationship is complicated. In addition, he knows that Shi Yu is on me, so if he goes, it’s equivalent to breaking into the tiger’s den.
After I packed up, I went out with my bag on my back. From the book given by the bitter monk, I learned a strange disguise technique. That thing is a blessing to me now.
After dealing with myself a little, I was surprised to find that I almost didn't know myself.
But what I didn't expect was that this trip to Jubao Street made me meet a very important person for my life, and the entire tomb robbery world will be ruined by us in the future.
