Chapter 0024: Windfall

Xiao Qiong pushed open the small door behind the statue, and a wide courtyard appeared in front of him. There are about a dozen brick and wood houses, arranged in two rows. The front row is the bedroom, and the back row is the meditation room, the study room and the scripture pavilion. The grounds of the yard are paved with pebbles. The Guanyin bamboo at the base of the courtyard wall is growing densely, and some bamboo shoots are breaking through the cobblestone floor, vigorously bubbling the tips of bamboo shoots.

It turned out that the backyard of the "Sanqing Palace" was larger than the front yard. Each room has a bed, table, chair, futon, etc., as if the owner has just left and may be back tomorrow. Xiao Qiong, who was at a loss, shouted in surprise: Master Zu has a spirit!

Xiao Qiong happily pushed open the rooms and looked at them, but what she couldn't understand was why the Taoist priests left suddenly? The futon was folded neatly and orderly, and there were even traces of tea in the teacups on the table. What really happened to Sanqing Palace?

Of course, Dai Xiaoxiao would not have known about the existence of this Taoist temple. Although she is from Dai Jiaping, she was born and raised in Guangzhou. Actually, I don't have much connection with my hometown. At this time, she snuggled Xiao Qiong tightly, as if she was afraid that Xiao Qiong would fly away. Xiao Qiong pushed open the door of the Scripture Pavilion, "whoosh", and a black shadow burst out from inside! Dai Xiaoxiao followed with a scream, almost scaring Xiao Qiong's bile. The black shadow jumped out a few meters, suddenly stopped, looked back at Xiao Qiong, and it turned out to be a dog. The dog was covered in black charcoal, skinny, skinny, and his eyes were surprisingly bright. That look revealed an unprecedented sense of intimacy.

After a while, the black dog actually shook his head and tail, swaggered towards Xiao Qiong, and "hummed" intimately.

"Blackie, come hereβ€”"

Xiao Qiong temporarily named the black dog, beckoned to Xiao Hei, and handed over a loaf of bread. Apparently hungry, Blackie swallowed the bread in one gulp, and then wagged his tail incessantly. In the deserted Taoist temple, only this little black dog is still human. Xiao Qiong took Xiao Hei into her arms, combed its fur with her fingers, and smoothed out the messy fur. Xiao Hei was very useful and enjoyed the sudden happiness, stretched out his crimson tongue to lick Xiao Qiong's hands and pants, and was very affectionate.

"Xiao Hei, tell me, what happened in this temple? Where have all the people gone? ”

"Hmph-"

Xiao Hei screamed sadly, rubbing Xiao Qiong's trouser legs. Xiao Qiong couldn't understand the dog's language, shook her head, and didn't know what to do. The inside of the scripture pavilion was empty, and there was not a single scripture book in sight. This is a stark contrast to the bedroom in front. Xiao Qiong lit the oil lamp and checked it inch by inch, hoping to find something. It took him half an hour to check all the cabinets that could hide things in the Scripture Pavilion, but he found nothing, and he was so disappointed that he turned around and wanted to leave. Xiao Hei swished up the statue of Zhang Tianshi in the middle of the wall, and shouted at Xiao Qiong.

Xiao Qiong's eyes couldn't help but light up: Could it be? He asked Dai Xiaoxiao to take the oil lamp, climbed up to the altar, reached out to the bottom of the statue to sit, and found a machine spring under the feet of Xiao Hei standing, and pressed it lightly, popping out the metal sheet, revealing a small groove, and there was a small box in the groove. Xiao Qiong opened the box, and a dazzling light shone through! The Qimen Dunjia plate made of all copper is divided into four layers: the heavenly plate, the earth plate, the human plate, and the god plate, and each layer of the plate is engraved with the corresponding text. Just by turning these plates, you can skillfully deduce the nine games of Yin Shield and the nine games of Yang Dun, and derive from this, and launch one thousand and eighty rounds throughout the year. Xiao Qiong has mastered the paper starting method and the palm starting method, but she is still amazed by this magic plate. This is a magic weapon made by ancient people, and I don't know if it has a juvenile history.

Underneath the Shenpan is an ancient book that has turned yellow, and the words "Zhengyijing" are written on the cover. This is a long-lost treasure book of Taoist culture, based on the teaching of charms. Turning over the "Zhengyijing", Xiao Qiong's hands trembled excitedly, the book of God. This records the long-lost spells on the rivers and lakes, even if you learn one-tenth, Xiao Qiong's skills will not be the same!

In the past few days, Dai Xiaoxiao had never seen Xiao Qiong so excited. This young man, who looked gentle and cold, was not only excited at this time, but even a little crazy. Xiao Hei snorted and swung his tail around Xiao Qiong, as if he had a sense of glory that had returned to his original owner.

"Blackie, thank you!"

Xiao Qiong put her arms around Xiao Hei's neck and gently stroked Xiao Hei's head. That kind of intimacy made Dai Xiaoxiao jealous. These days, Xiao Qiong has always taken care of her as a little sister, and has never enjoyed such treatment as Xiao Hei.

Xiao Qiong put the two treasures into a gift bag, put them together with the compass, and brought a bucket of water from the stream in the back mountain to scrub the bed, table and chairs clean. Dai Xiaoxiao slept on the bed, Xiao Qiong and Xiao Hei slept on the table and chair, making do with a night's rest.

On this night, the starry sky was brilliant. Countless stars twinkled, but one star was particularly bright, shining on Xiao Qiong's head through the window lattice. Xiao Qiong fell asleep in a daze, no one would notice, the "Zhengyi Jing" and the divine disk of the gift bag turned into wisps of blue light one after another, and wisps of aura bubbled into Xiao Qiong's brain.

Early the next morning, Xiao Qiong opened her sleepy eyes, calmed down for a while, and felt that her whole body had endless energy. The pattern of the whole person seems to have become countless times larger. What's going on? Xiao Qiong stood tall with a carp, from the table to the ground, and her whole body was unprecedentedly relaxed! Especially the mind, unusually clear, there seems to be endless energy under the soles of the feet, and there is a great urge to step up to the roof.

Dai Xiaoxiao was teasing Xiao Hei outside the house. She was holding a compressed bottle in her hand, putting it one person high, Xiao Hei jumped a few times, but it was not enough. However, just as Dai Xiaoxiao was laughing proudly, Xiao Hei suddenly broke up, picked up the bottle and ran. Xiao Qiong was overjoyed when she saw this scene, especially Dai Xiaoxiao's innocent appearance, which was completely a template copied by Ouyang Xue. When he saw her, he remembered Cher. When he thinks of Cher, his heart is wet.

Although the "Sanqing Palace" has been barren for many years, once it has popularity, it still can't hide its beautiful demeanor in the deep mountains. Xiao Qiong looked around, only to find that the Taoist temple is actually very large, not to mention there are thirty or forty acres of land, in addition to these two rows of surviving buildings, there are some vegetable fields around. The flat vegetable patch is covered with thatch. He circled around the Taoist temple and found nothing special.

The location of the Taoist temple is close to the top of Yandang Mountain, and when you look down from a high position, Daijiaping Village is shrouded in thick mist. The best place for feng shui in the yin house, Swallow Valley, is considered by Xiao Qiong to be the "dragon's lair", and it is also full of smoke and fog at this time.

"Brother Xiao Qiong, please have breakfast."

Dai Xiaoxiao handed over a few compressed biscuits and a bottle of mineral water. Xiao Qiong couldn't help but sigh that a rich child like her could even live such a hard life. Xiao Qiong swallowed a few dried bottles, opened the mineral water, took a few sips, and covered it again. For some reason, since noon yesterday, I haven't eaten two meals, and I live on biscuits and bread, and I don't feel hungry at all. Especially when I woke up this morning, my whole body was like divine help.

Facing the rising sun, Xiao Qiong practiced Yang Gong for a while, swallowed a large amount of the essence of the sun, and the look on her face was even more strange. Dai Xiaoxiao waited obediently on the side, quietly waiting for Xiao Qiong to finish his work. Xiao Hei also became one of their partners, happily rolling on the ground, acting strangely, which made Dai Xiaoxiao full of joy.
