Chapter 21: Weird Tokens
A corner of the high wall and green tiles from a distance, and when I got closer, I was dazzled, it turned out to be a broken wall, looking at the scale and style of this building, it should be an ancient temple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I thought that this place must have been prosperous in the past, otherwise how could anyone be willing to build a temple on the outskirts of this barren mountain, but then for some reason, maybe for one reason or another, it has been abandoned since then.
The entrance is two vermilion red lacquer gates, giving people a kind of illusion that comes from all directions, suddenly trance, only feel that the smell of incense spreads, and then you can still hear the sound of chanting that seems to be nothing, which has a long history.
It's just that all this, in the long river of history, has changed its appearance, and it is no longer the prosperity of the past.
Outside the temple, the wind was raging, the wind was strong, and the rubble above the head was trembling and screaming.
The two doors had already changed their appearance under the erosion of years of wind and rain, and the lower part of one of the doors had long since decayed, so it was exposed to the air and fought against the wind and rain.
The other door, though also broken, stood upright, swaying in the wind and rain, accompanied by a "squeak", which really made people worry that it would fall down at some point.
Shen Dong found some cloth curtains and a few futons, then helped Xuandaofeng to lie on them, and dismantled a few candle stands for candles, piling up the messy wood together.
Only then did he take out the two stones he had brought with him, this one was inconspicuous, the difference was only that one was smooth and flat, and the other was relatively rough.
But it was such a stone, Shen Dong faced each other in pairs, and with a slight rubbing, a few sparks burst out, and in this way, after rubbing three or five times, there was a small flame on the rag in the middle of the wood, and finally it became more and more vigorous, and when the cloth was about to burn out, the wood had also been ignited.
"Everyone sat around the fire to prevent their clothes from getting wet from the rain and causing the cold." As they spoke, they took off their coats and roasted by the scorching fire.
"Water, water, water..."At this time, Lin Zixu couldn't care about himself, but was beside Xuan Daofeng, peeling off the clothes that were already a little damp for him.
Hearing Xuan Daofeng's whisper, the wrinkles on Lin Zixu's forehead eased a lot, and he hurriedly raised his eyes and glanced around, and finally his eyes stayed on a broken tile.
The roof that has been in disrepair for many years, except for the center where they are located, the rest of the surroundings have already been surrounded by heavy rain outside, light rain inside the house, and drops of raindrops leak down from the roof, 'popping' sound, condensing into a small puddle.
Lin Zixu gently put down the Xuandao Feng, the movements were extremely gentle, and then came to the leak on the roof, looked up for a while, then bent down to pick up the water-filled tile, came to Xuandaofeng, stopped his neck with his left hand, and fed carefully with his right hand.
"Ahh
"Senior brother." Lin Zixu opened his mouth happily, but the person in front of him coughed a few times and then stopped moving.
"Senior sister, senior brother won't wake up so soon, but as long as you take my medicine, it's fine." Shen Tao was holding a slender small wooden stick in his hand at this time, pounding it in a stove, and said without looking back, and he didn't know where to find the ding, which was the same size as pots and pans.
"Little rabbit, do you have anything else to hide?"
It is also strange to say that from the beginning of entering this temple, several people have disappeared from the figure of the little white rabbit, but when everyone is busy, it bites a large radish with leaves.
Found a place to rest temporarily, Shen Dong also used all the materials available to arrange the formation around, and Xuan Daofeng's injuries could also be controlled, all Long Yanran began to study this rabbit, not to mention, it was really a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looked at it, the happier she became.
Speaking of the rabbit, it first looked at Long Yanran motionless, and then as if it thought of something, it turned around and walked in one direction.
Long Yanran followed suit, followed closely, only to see the rabbit 'rubbing' and jumping into a hole, Long Yanran thought in her heart, with the size of this pit, the radish would not be dug out of here.
On the other side, the rabbit had begun to stir up dirt outside the hole, until the small hole had been piled up with dirt about its own size, and then it stopped, thinking that it had dug too deep, and it had not been able to jump out of the hole several times.
"Come, I'll hold you." Long Yanran squatted down as she spoke, stretching out her hands and hugging it up.
"Hey, what is this?" She stretched her hand forward, and in the next second, there was an extra piece of black iron in her hand.
Long Yanran curiously took some rain and washed it, and then several people were for a while, "Uh..."
"This piece of black iron should be the token of a certain sect on the rivers and lakes." Shen Dong has loved formations since he was a child, and he is extremely interested in studying some strange brands and swords.
"Then which sect's token is this?" You know, for a sect, the token is a wisp of the spirit of the sect, if you can see its origin from a series of characteristics such as the shape, specification, and pattern of this token, then when the time comes, a few people will return it to its original owner, and it is not good to say that this is a chance.
Hearing Shen Tao say this, Long Yanran handed the inky black piece of iron to Shen Dong.
As soon as the latter got it, he began to look at it, but as time passed, Shen Dong's expression became more and more solemn.
After a long time, "First of all, there must be no doubt that this is a token, but because of its age, the representative graphics on it have been eroded irrefutably, and vaguely, I feel like the pattern of an axe." Shen Dong couldn't give a definite answer either.
"Could it be the token of the Luban Divine Axe Gate?" Suddenly, Shen Tao spoke excitedly, his eyes looking at several people.
Shen Dong shook his head and remained silent, as if he was still thinking about the origin of this token.
"Senior brother, don't dream, how can the token of the Luban Divine Axe Gate be lost so easily." Lin Zixu covered his mouth and chuckled, this senior brother was confused between dream and reality.
"That's hard to say, it's not good..."Shen Tao's high mood was extinguished by Lin Zixu's basin of cold water, "It would be great if the pictures and texts could be clearer, and when the time comes, when he finds the owner of this token, maybe he will be happy, and maybe he can give a few 'Medicine King' in return." ”
"Senior brother, you think beautifully." Lin Zixu smiled, and he had long been accustomed to Shen Tao opening and closing his mouth without leaving the medicinal materials.
"Senior sister, although I can't know the origin of this token for the time being, just looking at its texture and forging, it is definitely not something that ordinary sects can have, since it is related to you, you still have to keep it well." Shen Dong said as he handed back the ugly piece of iron.
"Yes, and I like it too." Long Yanran put the token away as she spoke.
"Alas, a piece of broken copper and iron, I don't know if I sold enough to buy a leaf of 'holy medicine'." Shen Tao muttered softly, "Hey, the medicine is ready." ”
"How?" Shen Dong said tentatively.
"Please also ask my junior brother and two junior sisters to help me." Although Shen Tao did not say it, the meaning of his words was self-evident.
"Okay." The three of them said in unison and agreed.
