Chapter 178: How Is This Possible

Thinking that this Taoist priest would take the initiative to mention the old Taoist priest in the Great Immortal Temple, Sunan was very happy in his heart.

"The Taoist also knows the old Taoist in the Great Immortal Temple, I originally wanted to ask him for a hexagram, but when I went to the Great Immortal Temple, I realized that the old Taoist had not appeared there for two days, so I was a little anxious. In fact, I just shouted to the chief, but I actually wanted to ask the chief if I knew where the old chief lived, so I could go and visit. ”

"I don't know." The Taoist priest replied very simply, and directly shook his head in denial. Then his face changed to surprise, "What did you say, you just said that the old Taoist priest of Qingyunzi is no longer in the Great Immortal Temple?" ”

"yes." Sunan nodded, "It turns out that the old Taoist name is Qingyunzi." I don't know what to call your road name? ”

"The poor road is the jade true son. and that Qingyunzi can be regarded as friends outside the party. The Taoist priest explained to Sunan, "We have known each other for more than ten years, and in the past ten years, there have been three or five times a year, and the poor Taoist came to him, and then talked about the Tao together." I know that he lives at the foot of the Lion Rock, and I have been to his house. It's just that in the past ten years, every time I come to this Great Immortal Temple, I can see that Qingyunzi, but I never thought that he would be absent. ”

"Yes," Sunan nodded and said, "I've been here countless times in the past two days, and this Qingyunzi Daoist is not here." Sunan's face made a look of regret, "I wonder if Daoist Yu Zhenzi can take me to find Daoist Qingyunzi?" ”

"It's fine." Yu Zhenzi nodded, "We are all monks, but there is no *** fear of being known by others." Hearing you say this, this old friend of Qingyun hasn't appeared here for two days, presumably there must have been an accident, and I will also go to his residence to check it out. Come with me. ”

For those who were following him, Sunan also put it aside for the time being, if they wanted to find themselves, they would definitely find him again. And now that he hears the news of Qingyunzi, it is very likely that he will get news about his mother's family from here, and Sunan will of course focus on the affairs of Qingyunzi's side.

Following Yu Zhenzi, while chatting, he walked towards Qingyunzi's residence. Under the teaching of Su Zhonghe, Sunan is very familiar with the knowledge of these traditions. Talking to Yu Zhenzi about these topics about the Tao Sutra can also be interjected.

This makes Yu Zhenzi very curious, and there are very few young people who can understand this knowledge nowadays. So he took Sunan as a bosom friend and talked with him more enthusiastically.

Qingyunzi's residence is not far from the Great Immortal Temple, and it is only half an hour's walk away. The two chatted while walking, and soon came to Qingyunzi's door.

It was an ordinary small courtyard, the courtyard door was hidden, and it was pushed open with a light push, and Sunan and Yu Zhenzi entered the courtyard directly. The courtyard was empty, and there was nothing but a stone table and two stone benches.

The stone tables and benches were covered with dust, and the weeds on the ground were very lush, making the atmosphere in this small courtyard very desolate, as if no one had lived here for a long time.

"Daoist Yuzhen, is this really Daoist Qingyun's home?" Sunan asked incredulously. Looking at the situation in this courtyard, it is said that no one has taken care of it for a year or two, and some people believe it. But that Qingyunzi only disappeared for two days.

Yu Zhenzi was also very surprised, "How is this possible?" Poor Dao had been here two months ago, and this small courtyard was very neatly cleaned up at that time, but in such a short period of time, it was impossible to make this courtyard dilapidated to such an extent! ”

"Let's go inside and take a look!" Sunan said again. Now that you've arrived here, whether this is Qingyunzi's home or not, you have to check it carefully.

"yes, let's go inside and have a look!" Tamako nodded in agreement, and walked to the door first, reaching for the door.

The door of the house was also not locked, and with the hand of Yu Zhenzi, it squeaked and retreated to both sides, revealing the door of the black hole. A rotten breath rushed out from it in an instant, and Sunan, who came behind Yu Zhenzi, didn't notice it, and was choked by this breath, and coughed lightly twice.

"Daoist Yuzhen, this situation is not right!" Sunan adjusted his breathing and asked Yu Zhenzi.

"Ahem!" Yu Zhenzi was also choked by that breath, and it took a while for the cough to calm down, "Su Xiaoyou, seeing this situation is really surprising, Poor Dao is really hard to believe." Look at it, this house has been uninhabited for several years. ”

As she spoke, Yu Zhenzi stepped directly into the house. If you want to talk about shock, he is even more shocked than Sunan. Sunan said that Qingyunzi had only been missing for two days, and even if it was counted from the last time he came, it had only been two months now.

Two months ago, it was full of life. But when I come here now, I find that it has long been dilapidated, as if no one has taken care of it for many years, how is this possible?

"Let's go in and have a look!" Yu Zhenzi couldn't hold back this time, greeted Sunan, and broke into the house. Sunan also followed closely behind and entered inside.

The furnishings of the house are also very simple, except for a bed, a cupboard, a table, and a chair. And these items are also covered in dust.

The Qingyunzi they wanted to come to find couldn't see anyone at all.

"Daoist Yuzhen, you really came here two months ago?" Sunan looked at Yu Zhenzi with a little disbelief.

Yu Zhenzi shook her head in disbelief and said, "Don't ask me, I don't believe I came here two months ago. If it's two or three years, I can still believe it. But how is this possible? In two months, the house will not be like this anyway. ”

Seeing Yu Zhenzi's expression, Sunan believed that his words were true. And he didn't know him, so he didn't have to lie to himself. It's just that the current situation really doesn't know how to explain it in order to combine these two things. In two months, it was beyond his comprehension that a room could become like this.

"Daoist Yuzhen, let's take a closer look, maybe we can find some clues." Although the situation in this house can be seen at a glance, Sunan is still not at ease, and if he orders Yu Zhenzi again, he will directly look around the house.

"Okay, let's find out." Of course, Yu Zhenzi also wanted to know what was going on, and before Sunan finished speaking, he was already looking around the room.

There is something strange about things, and the two of them have doubts in their hearts, but they are looking very carefully. One person looks for one side, and after looking for it, he changes it again, and goes to the other side to look carefully again.

"What is this?" After looking for it twice, Sunan finally saw a pile of crumbs the size of wheat grains in a corner, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Ah, what's the discovery?" Hearing Sunan's words, Yu Zhenzi screamed, and at the same time came to Sunan's side to see what he found.

Following Sunan's fingers, Yu Zhenzi finally saw that on the ground in the corner of the wall, there was a pile of white powder, only the size of a grain of wheat, and it was very close to the color of the dust on the ground. No wonder he looked here just now, but still didn't find anything.

But it's just a small pile of noodles, what could it be?

Sunan squatted down, took out a small piece of paper, and carefully shoveled the noodles off the ground. After looking at it carefully for a while, he handed it to Yu Zhenzi again, "Yu Zhen Dao Chief, take a look, what is this?" ”

Taking the piece of paper, Yu Zhenzi looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked hesitantly, "Su Xiaoyou, how did I find that these noodles are very similar to jade?" ”

"Yes, Daoist Yuzhen's vision is indeed very good." Sunan exclaimed, "I've watched it for so long, and I also feel that these noodles are what they look like after jade is crushed." ”

But what does that mean? It's just some jade powder, and it can't tell us where Qingyun Daoist has gone. Yu Zhenzi didn't understand why Sunan became happy after discovering these jade powders.

"Daoist Yuzhen often comes to Daoist Qingyun, I don't know if you know, who refined those talismans sold by Daoist Qingyun?" Sunan did not answer Yu Zhenzi's words, but asked him again.

In fact, Sunan wanted to ask this for a long time, but he told Yu Zhenzi just now that he was looking for Qingyunzi to ask about the hexagram, and if he suddenly asked him these questions, it might make him doubt his intentions in finding Qingyunzi. But now with the help of these jade powders, this question can be asked.

"I don't know." Yu Zhenzi replied directly, "Poor Dao has never seen that Qingyunzi talisman, but he has seen someone come to give it to him once." At that time, Poor Dao once asked him, saying that as a Taoist priest, he couldn't make his own talismans, and he had to let others make them for him, which really didn't look like what a person with advanced Taoism should do. It's just that Qingyunzi at that time just smiled and didn't answer the question. ”

After explaining these things, Yu Zhenzi also had a little question, "Su Xiaoyou, why did you suddenly ask this question, could it be that these jade noodles have something to do with that talisman?" ”

"I don't know." Sunan shook his head and said, "I'm just guessing. This room was already full of dust, but now suddenly on top of the dust, jade powder appeared again, which was really suspicious. One can't help but suspect that this room has ever been manipulated. ”

"Well, that's true." Yu Zhenzi nodded and said, "Listening to Su Xiaoyou's words, Poor Dao also suspected that someone had done something in this room, so this situation would occur." Otherwise, Poor Dao had only been here two months ago, how could this room have become so dilapidated in two months, as if no one had lived here in years? ”
