Chapter 86: Treasure is buried underground
Professor Cui has read so many books and has a certain understanding of classical culture and Xuanmen culture.
As soon as Zhou Xiaolong said this, Professor Cui completely understood, he nodded and said, "Okay, you meditate and rest, I will stay by your side and be your protector, don't worry!" ”
As we all know, the practice of the Sangha generally involves meditation.
"Taoism" calls it "cross-sitting" or "meditation", while in "Buddhism" it is called "meditation" or "meditation", the name is different, but the posture is much the same.
Professor Cui already knew that Zhou Xiaolong was a disciple of Xuanmen, and when Zhou Xiaolong was practicing, he was not afraid of being seen by Professor Cui.
In normal times, this is just an easy thing, but at this time, Zhou Xiaolong has a skin injury from iron sand rubbing on his ankle, although it is not serious, it still hurts when touched.
In addition, he was beaten with a stick on the back of his head, and he was in a coma for a night, and now his whole body is sore, and it took a lot of effort to cross his feet together, and when he sat down, his forehead was already covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.
There is a saying in the ancient theory of Chinese medicine, "the essence is born from the soles of the feet", which is a truth that has always been respected by Chinese medicine.
There is a certain truth in this kind of meditation posture, whether it is "Sangha" or "Tao" or even "Yoga", that the same posture is actually adopted.
Meditation with your knees crossed can make your whole body reach a state of balance, just like the "Liuhe Pagoda".
The so-called "Liuhe" refers to the "four directions of heaven and earth" together, layer by layer from the bottom to the top, so that sitting down is as stable as Mount Tai, meditating and practicing with this posture, and the insiders become "two-legged prostrate".
Because with a mobile phone, you can see the time, and Zhou Xiaolong meditated like this for nearly four hours.
In the meantime, someone opened the door and brought food, that is, bread and mineral water, Professor Cui accepted what he ate, but no one disturbed Zhou Xiaolong.
Probably, the middle-aged man had already told his subordinates, and those rude subordinates also knew that Zhou Xiaolong was a character similar to a "warlock", so when they saw him meditating, they didn't feel strange behavior.
Zhou Xiaolong silently recited the Xuanmen mantra in his heart, forcing himself to shift his attention from his body to his inner qi, and using his powerful mind to guide his inner qi to walk in his body.
This time, Zhou Xiaolong walked on the Great Zhou Tian, and in addition to following the two veins of Ren Du, he also flowed on other meridians to relieve the pain of the body.
In this way, after a whole afternoon of meditation and pranayama, Zhou Xiaolong finally slowly exhaled a long breath and opened his eyes.
Suddenly, from Zhou Xiaolong's eyes, two cold rays of light shot out, which seemed to prove that his physical strength was already abundant.
"Little brother, how are you feeling now?!" Professor Cui asked with concern.
"I'm much better."
Zhou Xiaolong slowly stood up, moved his limbs, and glanced at his phone, it was seven o'clock at night.
"There's something to eat here, so let's eat something first!"
Professor Cui took out two breads, and Zhou Xiaolong was really hungry, so he ate the bread in a few bites and drank some water.
The bread was cold and hard, not very tasty, and at this time, Zhou Xiaolong suddenly remembered the rice that Xia Xue cooked.
Although Xia Xue's cooking skills are average, every time she eats, there are always vegetables, meat and soup, which are hot and very comfortable to eat.
I suddenly felt a sadness in my heart, yes, Zhou Xiaolong missed Xia Xue very much, and he also missed Qian Duoduo and Uncle Fat Bird.
Zhou Xiaolong has been missing for a whole day, Xia Xue must be very anxious and worried, and she doesn't know what her home looks like now.
It's a pity that there is no signal on the mobile phone, even if Xia Xue calls herself, Zhou Xiaolong can't receive it, the more I think about it, the more sad I become......
At this moment, someone pushed the door open, and the middle-aged man walked in slowly.
"Hehe, two masters, how are you resting, it's dark now, it's time to act."
The middle-aged man held his glasses with his hand, still smiling, looking harmless to humans and animals.
Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui stood up together and walked out of the room.
There are no lights outside, but the sky here is much cleaner than in the city, and the moon and stars are very bright.
There were five people in the courtyard, and except for the middle-aged man who took the lead, each of them had a cigarette roll in their hands and smoked desperately.
Strange to say, the four people all held the cigarette in the same posture, that is, they hid the cigarette butt in the palm of their hand, pinched the cigarette butt with their thumb and forefinger, and brought it to their mouths from time to time to take a puff.
Maybe it's because of the pressure of stealing, and they have a great addiction to smoking, and the cigarette butts are always hidden in the palms of their hands, so that no one can see the fire on the cigarette butts, even if they stand in the dark field.
Although no one passes by, it seems that it has become a habit for these people to maintain such cautious movements.
Therefore, Zhou Xiaolong was even more determined that this group of people was definitely a veteran in this industry, and they all had rich experience.
The middle-aged man said to Professor Cui and Zhou Xiaolong: "Two masters, this area is not very big, if you find the entrance to the air valve, after you get it, we will leave here tonight, you can also go home early, what tools and helpers do you need, two masters, just open your mouth!" ”
Zhou Xiaolong looked at the middle-aged man opposite, sneered and said, "I can use the ancestral secret technique to help you locate it, but your people can't get too close to me, because since the secret technique is a secret technique, it is a secret that is not passed on, and it is not a day or two for you to do this business, you should understand what I mean, right?" ”
"Okay, okay, no problem, as long as you don't get out of this yard, we won't get close to you," the middle-aged man nodded in agreement, and urged again, "Okay, without further ado, can we start now?" ”
In order to look professional, Zhou Xiaolong asked for a compass, and these tomb robbers would carry this kind of item with them, so he brought a brass compass over.
Zhou Xiaolong took the brass compass and opened the lid, the marks and symbols on it were very small and could not be seen clearly, so he asked the middle-aged man for a small flashlight, the flashlight was a direct light, and a pillar of light was just aimed at the Tianchi of the compass.
Zhou Xiaolong looked at it for a while, walked up to Professor Cui, and said, "Old man, you give me a hand and help me hold a flashlight for lighting, okay?" ”
Professor Cui glanced at the middle-aged man, and after the other party's permission, Professor Cui held a flashlight and followed Zhou Xiaolong all the way.
Zhou Xiaolong flattened the compass with both hands, but the steps under his feet were Tiangang, and the two of them chose a corner of the courtyard and began to slowly take over.
The two men deliberately walked very slowly, stopping and stopping, and when they were about halfway through the courtyard, they were already quite far away from the group.
The middle-aged man was one of his subordinates, just looking at this side, and he did keep his promise, and he didn't follow him to monitor.
Professor Cui lowered his voice and asked Zhou Xiaolong, "What's the matter, is there a treasure hidden in this place, little brother, can you see it?!" ”
