Chapter 17 Five Pills
Although Chen Liqiu's guess was reasonable, Li Zhongyong did not want to think about the worst, "You can go to many places in five days. Master does not necessarily go to Jizhou."
"I also hope Master didn't go to Jizhou." Chen Liqiu sighed.
Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu were both in a heavy mood, and the same was true, even more so, because they once heard Taoist Lin say that time waits for no one, combined with Taoist Lin who kept coughing, and for the first time he talked to everyone about how to behave in the world.
Logically speaking, Taoist Lin was probably poisoned by some kind of incurable poison.
With a sad look on his face when they met, Chen Liqiu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "We are just concerned and confused, and we make wild guesses. Don't tell others what we said before."
He nodded. His mood was very similar to that of Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu, but not exactly the same. In addition to worry, he also felt inexplicable uneasiness and guilt. Because of the thunder, everyone in the village thought that he was an unlucky broom.
Xing even blamed Wang Mazi's death on him. At this moment, he began to doubt whether he was really an ominous person who would bring disaster to the people around him.
It took less than half an hour to feed and drink the horses, and then everyone went on the road again. This time, Taoist Lin did not say anything to everyone, but just leaned in the car and closed his eyes to rest.
The others were all occupied with their own thoughts and did not talk to each other. There was only the rapid sound of horse hooves in the darkness.
In the middle of the night, everyone stopped. They could endure the long-distance attack, but the horses couldn't.
The words are long, and the words are short. After walking quickly for three days, the group arrived at the border of Yuzhou. During these three days, Daozhang Lin's injury has been getting worse. Previously, he only coughed occasionally, but now the number of coughs has increased.
Significantly increased.
Except for Batulu, the other four people all felt vaguely ominous, but after several concerned inquiries, Director Lin only said that it was nothing serious. Although they were worried and anxious, they could not do anything.
Based on the familiar road that Batulu drove, it was determined that this was not the first time for everyone here. At the end of the afternoon, the carriage left the official road and turned onto a small road, and then continued to wind through the mountains. By sunset, there was no road ahead.
I don’t know Feng Shui, so I can only see that the mountains around them are towering and towering. I don’t know whether they are Feng Shui treasures or whether they contain ancient tombs.
Batulu set up the carriage and led the horses out, while Li Zhongyong and Tian Zhenyong unloaded the wooden boxes containing the excavation tools from the carriage.
Moved up and down.
Taoist priest Lin also got off the carriage. When he saw Taoist priest getting off the carriage, Batulu hurriedly picked up a large bluestone not far away and used it as a stone bench for Taoist priest Lin.
Taoist priest Lin sat down on the bluestone and looked up at the setting sun.
When everyone was ready, Li Zhongyong said to Taoist Lin, "Master, please don't go in. We will go back as soon as we go."
Taoist priest Lin nodded, "Each choose a weapon. Although your situation may be very difficult in the future, you must not get involved in burial gold and silver."
After Lin Daozhang spoke, everyone responded in unison.
"Let's go, I'll give you a long experience." Chen Liqiu waved.
"The tomb house is not an auspicious place, so don't go in," Taoist priest Lin said.
"Master is right," Chen Liqiu nodded and said, "Don't go, just stay with Master. I will bring you whatever weapons you like."
"I don't know how to use weapons, and I don't know what I like." He shook his head.
"Forget it, we'll take care of it," Chen Liqiu said.
Balutu said from the side, "Lao San, you have an injury on your stomach, can you do it?"
"If you can't dig a hole and dig out the soil, you can still go into the tomb and pick up weapons." Chen Liqiu said with a smile.
"Let's go quickly. Go early and come back early." Li Zhongyong turned around and went ahead.
Standing next to the carriage, he watched the four people gradually walk away with their tools.
"Come and sit." Lin Daochang waved.
Hearing this, he hurriedly walked over, but instead of sitting on the bluestone, he sat down on the left side of Taoist Lin. The elder and the younger should not be disrespected, and the apprentice and the master could not sit on equal footing.
Although Taoist Lin called him over, he was not in a hurry to speak. Maybe he didn't want to say anything at all, he just wanted to get closer to him.
I wanted to ask Mr. Lin how he was injured, but he finally held back after hesitating. This question was asked by Li Zhongyong and others on the way here.
After asking many times, Taoist Lin's answer was the same every time. If he asked again this time, Taoist Lin would definitely say that it was no big deal.
After thinking about it, I asked another question, "All the weapons that Master, Senior Brother and others like are in this ancient tomb?"
Taoist priest Lin nodded slowly.
"Whose tomb is here and why are there so many weapons in the tomb?" he asked.
"This is an imperial mausoleum. Emperors rule the world and are rich all over the world. Only they have the ability to collect ancient and modern magic weapons for burial." Taoist priest Lin answered.
"Oh," nodded, "I thought we were going to a lot of places."
Taoist priest Lin did not answer and looked west calmly. At this time, the sun had set, and only the faint afterglow of the sunset was left on the west mountain.
Taoist Lin did not speak and did not know what to say. He could only sit quietly with Taoist Lin.
While sitting quietly, he would look at Daoist Lin from the corner of his eye from time to time. Daoist Lin's expression was very calm, not dazed and confused, but focused on thinking about memories. Although he didn't know what Daoist Lin was thinking, he knew that Daoist Lin must be thinking.
Something very important.
After a long silence, Taoist priest Lin was pulled back from his thoughts and memories by his own cough, and hurriedly poured water to deliver. Taoist priest Lin took the pottery bowl and put it aside, took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and poured out a cup of water from the porcelain bottle.
Take each small pill with water.
The porcelain vase that Taoist Lin took out was recognized as the one found on Zhong Ageng's body that day.
After taking the pills, Taoist Lin poured all the pills in the porcelain bottle into his palm, counted them carefully, and put them back into the porcelain bottle.
Right next to Taoist Lin, Taoist Lin was doing the same thing when he was counting the number of pills. There were still five red pills.
When Taoist Lin put away the porcelain vase, he said, "Master, there is something I can't understand."
"What?" Lin Taoist asked.
"You just said that the weapons buried in this tomb are all ancient and modern magic weapons. Since they are magic weapons, how could the owner of the tomb be willing to bring them into the tomb?" asked.
Taoist priest Lin said casually, "Most people in the world are selfish and narrow-minded, and emperors are also human beings."
, it is difficult to transcend human nature, and always want to possess more. Maybe in their opinion, if you take it to the grave, it belongs to them, and if it is passed down to future generations, it will be taken away by others."
Taoist priest Lin paused for a moment before continuing, "When you live your whole life, you come with empty hands, and you will eventually leave with empty hands. You can't take anything with you. When you can't have anything, you might as well help others."
He nodded. He understood what Taoist Lin said, but he only had a superficial understanding. Due to his age and experience, he could not have personal experience of some things he had never experienced before.
"Master, I still have a question." He said again.
"Huh?" Director Lin tilted his head and looked at him.
He said, "The weapons that Senior Brother and the others like must be of the highest quality. If someone recognizes them, they will covet them and steal them openly and covertly. Wouldn't it cause them more trouble?"
Taoist priest Lin glanced at them with admiration, and then said, "What you said makes sense. I originally had such concerns, but weighing the two, I feel that the help these weapons bring to them is far greater than the power they bring to them."
The trouble comes, so we allow them to take the weapons from the tomb."
"Oh," Miao Ran then asked cautiously, "Master, aren't there any weapons you like in the tomb?"
Lin Daochang shook his head, "The wild flowers are becoming more and more charming, so Asakusa can have no horse hooves. The most important thing for a person to live in this world is to know what he likes. Only when he knows what he wants can he know what he should do."
"Thank you Master for your teaching. I will remember what you said." He nodded.
Thinking that Taoist Lin had eaten very little in the past few days, he wanted to make some warm meals for him, but he was worried that lighting a fire would reveal their location. After seeking Taoist Lin's opinion, he gave up his worries, searched for firewood, and lit a fire.
Campfire, cooking rice and soup.
This ancient tomb had been dug up by everyone before. This time Batulu and others only needed to dig out the buried entrance to enter the ancient tomb. Therefore, only four people came back in two minutes, with expressions on their faces that could not be concealed.
of excitement.
At this time, Taoist Lin had already eaten dinner and gone to bed. He was sitting alone by the fire and keeping vigil. Before he could get closer, Batulu raised the stick in his hand and shouted loudly, "Lao Wu, come and see my new weapon."
