Chapter 30 The Mysterious Letterhead
"Click!"
A blood-red copper coin slid out from Xiao Bingsheng's palm and fell on the pile of gravel beside him. However, these did not attract the attention of the two Taoist masters, and perhaps they no longer needed to pay attention.
I thought Yang Yuanshan would be shocked when he saw Gu Tan, but his expression had not changed. His voice said in a faint voice: "Are you coming out at this moment? Are you feeling lonely when I die and no one is accompanying you to compete for those treasures of the mountain? Or are you going to kill me yourself?"
Gu Tan ignored Yang Yuanshan, but bent over Xiao Bingsheng for some time, and finally took out a jade plaque like white jade, saying it was a jade plaque because I didn't understand what it was. I only knew that the jade plaque was less than half a foot long, and its width was just a little shorter than the length, and it was very thin. Could this be what Yang Yuanshan said about jade talisman?
"The jade talisman of the heaven and earth is good!" Gu Tan looked up and down, and then laughed loudly: "Hahaha... I didn't expect it to take any time to get it. Yang Yuanshan, don't think I'm here to save you, but... what you said is reasonable. If you die, I will definitely be lonely, hahaha..."
What does this weird old man mean? He saved our master and apprentice but refused to admit it. The fisherman got a treasure and did not say that he received his master Yang Yuanshan's love. I really don't understand whether he is good or evil, because he obviously has a chance...
Gutan disappeared like this. He gave me the feeling that he always came and went without a trace. A strange peerless master, but he was disagreeing with his master. It was really unpredictable...
Yang Yuanshan slowly walked out of the cave, looked down at Xiao Bingsheng's body, then sighed lightly, and walked to an empty place without saying anything, carrying his hands on his back, and then looked up at the starry sky for a long time, with a look of loss and vastness.
I couldn't bear to see Master like this, so I asked, "Master, that weird old man finally saved our lives. Why are you not happy?"
Yang Yuanshantou sighed without looking back: "That old guy is finally the same as his master, so he will naturally not kill me, otherwise the ancestor would not spare him. But if possible, the master is willing to sacrifice his life for our mountain treasure... On the seventh day of the lunar month, you can't understand how important our Maoshan mountain treasure is to our Taoist people, and you will gradually understand..."
Of course I don’t understand, but now I seem to understand one thing, that is, the Maoshan Mountain Treasure is of great significance to the master. Since that weird old man can’t kill his master, why did he fight with his master when he broke the Black Bamboo Formation a few days ago? Their relationship is too strange, right? Now I am becoming more and more curious about the weird old man.
"Huh!" I suddenly found a corner of paper on Xiao Bingsheng's sleeve, and immediately bent over and picked it up. I hurried behind Yang Yuanshan and asked in confusion: "Master, is this Xiao Bingsheng's murder bill? Master, can you take a look?"
"Huh?" Yang Yuanshan suddenly turned around and took the paper in my hand. He was shocked and whispered: "After the catastrophe of 29, I went to Tongyao Town, Shanxi to find the Nine Elder Immortal Dujun. Good fortune makes people happy, be sure to wake up!"
"Nine Old Immortal Du Jun? Is it the Jade Seal of the Nine Old Immortal Du?! This..." Yang Yuanshan's face was filled with joy and sorrow at this time, and then he pondered: "Who is instigating Xiao Bingsheng to collect the treasures of my Taoist sect? We have been searching hard but cannot figure it out, but this person who wrote the letter seemed to know it. How did he know? What was his intention? It seems that this matter is even more difficult..."
I was stunned by Yang Yuanshan's words and asked quickly: "Master, what is the 29th Tribulation? And what is that Immortal Seal?"
Yang Yuanshan seemed to be in a good mood and turned around and smiled: "Do you know what day is today?"
I tilted my head and thought for a while, and immediately replied: "Today is February 18th. Does this have anything to do with the question I asked?"
Yang Yuanshan looked at me like an idiot, and said with a solemn expression: "The 29th Tribulation refers to the eighteenth Day, which is today, which means that the person who wrote this letter has calculated that Xiao Bingsheng has a great disaster today, so he used this to remind him that Xiao Bingsheng could have survived this disaster, but he did not expect that the old guy suddenly appeared. This really verified the following sentence, "God is so good that people are... "
After saying that, Yang Yuanshan turned around and walked towards the direction he came. I nodded, hurriedly chased after him and continued to ask, "What's the matter with that seal?"
Yang Yuanshan immediately said: "It is the jade seal of the Nine Elder Immortals, just like the jade talisman of the Ming Dynasty, and it is one of the eight treasures of our Maoshan Town. I have told you before that the rise and fall of our Maoshan Sect. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the eight treasures of the mountain would be scattered on earth by chance. Perhaps some were collected as heirlooms by those with interest, or perhaps some had been treasured by some high-minded masters. In short, we must fulfill the long-cherished wish of the ancestor, find the eight treasures of the mountain and the secret compass, and carry forward our Maoshan Sect! As for the origin and use of these treasures, we will slowly tell you in the future. It's a pity that we can't find the secret compass for the time being. If there is a secret compass leading the way, I believe we will find the remaining treasures easily. The road is vast. Only with a sincere heart can the ancestor bless us to complete the task as soon as possible, do you know?"
I nodded suddenly and said, "Oh... Master, when you went to our Shibali Village, you were really looking for the secret compass."
Yang Yuanshan glared and said seriously: "When will I have deceived you?! The little brat has a crooked idea, remember to continue wearing those two cloth bags tomorrow!"
I stuck out my tongue and thought to myself that even if you don’t say it, I will wear it myself. After these few things, I have found that I am really useless. I have made no achievements except to add burden to my master. I must work hard to practice all the Taoist techniques. In the future, my master will definitely think that I am an indispensable and good disciple. I made up my mind and hurriedly caught up with Yang Yuanshan.
When we returned to our master's house, the sky was getting brighter, and the front and back of the master's house's yard was already full of white silk and spiritual tents set up in the courtyard. Speaking of the rules here, the elders sent their younger generation away, so they could not stay in the main house. They must set up a spiritual tent outside the house. The only difference from the spiritual shed beside the tomb is that the spiritual tent is like a small tent, covered with white cloth on the front, back and left and right. In addition, the elders could not cry in person to the younger generation. Because of this generational problem, the master and aunt were both sitting in the main house hall with red and swollen eyes.
Seeing Yang Yuanshan, the master immediately stood up and greeted him and said, "Yuanshan, has that beast ever chased him? Where is he?! I want to turn him into a ghost and make a cow and a horse for my daughter, and never turn over forever!"
Yang Yuanshan sighed lightly, reached out and patted his master's shoulder, and said, "Xiao Bingsheng is dead. Gu Tan of Xianzong was also present at that time. Xiao Bingsheng could not frame us, but was shocked to death by Gu Tan on the spot."
"Gutan?!He..." The master seemed to be familiar with the strange old man, and immediately shook his head and sighed: "Then, the jade talisman must have been taken away by Gutan? Alas! It's been so many years, and your two branches belong to the same lineage, so why can't we work together to find those eight treasures?"
Yang Yuanshan immediately looked solemn and said, "Senior Brother! You know that the Exoteric Sect and the Tantric Sect have never been in harmony. Besides, I and that old man's teacher and the Taoist techniques I have practiced are comparable. Why do you want me to bow to him? Why can't he take the initiative to reconcile with me?!"
The master suddenly shook his head again and said, "You...you know that if you two authentic branches cannot be in the same spirit, will you not be able to take advantage of the evil spirit? Far away, I didn't expect that you will not change at all after many years. Besides, the valley pool is the same. You have to fight for a good end. Sooner or later, you will suffer a loss if you continue like this..."
Yang Yuanshan remained silent, but immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, has Yueyue's soul ever been recalled?"
The master waved his hand immediately and said, "Far Mountain, you should understand my mood now. I am in a mess. Where can I do the way to start the altar? You can handle these things for me. By the way, I have already decided on Yueyue's nanny in advance. It is just under the hillside half of the northeast of this manor, with mountains and waters on it. Yueyue has liked quiet since she was a child, and she also likes clean and beautiful places. That place is very suitable for her. Please take a look at the arrangement..."
