(For @Red-Eared Tiger Monkey Player Jiageng)

This little brother on a white horse is actually a little carpenter.

In the past half a year, he has been to several places, first Hankou, then Tanzhou, and has also wandered around several places around there, which is very hard.

And the reason why I went there was to find Zhang Qiming's two apprentices.

According to Wu Banxian, those two people have a deep understanding of Zhang Qiming's true biography, especially the second apprentice Feng Fangwei, who is Zhang Qiming's right-hand man, knows many of his secrets, and from the mouth of the guy surnamed Feng, he may be able to know what he wants.

As a result, the little carpenter rushed all the way over, and when he found Hankou, he learned that Zhang Qiming's eldest apprentice had contracted a serious illness a month earlier and had passed away; As for Feng Fangwei, he was nowhere to be found, and the little carpenter was afraid of startling the snake, so he squatted in that guy's hometown for two months, and finally didn't see anyone, so he had to give up.

Something happened in the meantime, and I met some people, but it didn't matter.

This time he came to the northwest, the little carpenter actually hesitated for a long time, but in the end he decided to come here, after all, some things have been delayed.

It's like a thorn in the heart, and over time, it becomes a pustule.

Only when you squeeze it out will you feel better.

But he didn't want to go directly to Ganjiabao to find his relatives, after all, he wasn't very sure what was going on, and he had been wandering outside for many years, and if he came to the door rashly, the scene might not be good.

So he wanted to take a detour and get to know from the side.

It was with this mentality that led to this trip - as for the white horse, he helped a herdsman fight off horse thieves, and others gave him a reward.

The little carpenter didn't intend to accept it at first, but this time he went to Ganjiabao, which was quite a long way and not open to traffic, so if he had such a means of transportation, he would not be so tired.

So he accepted it, but secretly, he secretly stuffed the corresponding belongings.

As for coiling, in the past half a year, he has already digested the book "Luban Organ Secret Techniques", and has successively made some things out, and sold them to people who know the goods, which is not embarrassing.

However, when it comes to the "Luban Organ Secret Technique", many things in it need to be urged by the Yin Soul or the Evil Essence, and although the simple runes also have an effect, they are very limited.

The little carpenter is reluctant to collect those things, so the things he makes are always lacking in spirituality.

Even if you make up for it with craftsmanship, it can only be regarded as average.

Speaking of the present, the little carpenter is from a hard background, not to mention sharing a table, even if he doesn't have a table, he has eaten it even if he squatted on the ground, so he didn't refuse that person's request.

He straightened the dishes on the table and gave up half of the table.

The man was very grateful, thanked him, and then chatted with Xiao Er who came over, asked for a few dishes, and ordered a pot of wine.

The little carpenter ate the stewed mutton in the sea bowl seriously, but he didn't expect the man's dish to come up, but he pushed a pot of mutton and scorpions to the little carpenter.

The little carpenter raised his head in surprise, and the man smiled and said, "Little brother, thank you for sharing the table, I invite you to this sheep and scorpion." ”

The man's expression was gentle, and his smile was a little sincere, so that the little carpenter couldn't say the words of refusal, and he nodded at the moment, then poured the wine glass, raised it, and said Okay, thank you, I toast you.

The man touched a glass with the little carpenter, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The little carpenter drank, and the man poured another full cup, and then said familiarly: "Come and don't be rude, little brother, I respect you for this cup - I came to the northwest, walked so many roads, and saw so many people, you and I look the most pleasing to the eye, kind, haha......"

The man's smile was very hearty, I don't know why, the little carpenter felt that he was very similar to Luo Fuguiluo's boss, and he had a hearty and uninhibited energy.

Thinking of this, he also laughed at the moment, saying so, it is really fateful.

The two touched another glass and ate two bites of food, but they invariably raised their glasses again.

The cup was raised, and before they could speak, the two laughed at each other's tacit understanding, and then the man asked, "Little brother, what is your surname?" Don't you look like someone from the Northwest? ”

The little carpenter replied: "Your surname is Gan, I am here to visit relatives, what do you call you, brother?" ”

The man said: "My surname is Shen, and I am the eldest in the family, so everyone else calls me Shen Da, or Shen Boss, you can call me that." ”

The little carpenter said: "I see, Brother Shen, I see that you are not a local, what are you doing in the northwest?" ”

The Shen boss said: "Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, have you heard of it?" ”

The little carpenter shook his head and said he didn't know.

Boss Shen patiently explained to him: "Mogao Grottoes, also known as Thousand Buddha Caves, were dug in the second year of Qin Jianyuan before the Sixteen Kingdoms. At that time, the Central Plains was in full swing, wars broke out, the people were displaced, and Hexi became a relatively stable area. A large number of scholars and Confucians and people in the Central Plains have left their hometowns, fled to Hexi for refuge, brought advanced culture and production technology, especially the Buddhism introduced by the Han and Wei dynasties in Dunhuang unprecedentedly prosperous, the second year of the former Qin Jianyuan, a monk called Lezun, opened the first grotto for Buddha in the Daquan River Valley under the Sanwei Mountain, and the Mogao Grottoes were born; Later, it experienced the Sui and Tang dynasties, Tubo and Western Xia, and there were more than 1,000 caves at the most glorious time, and the murals and statues were extremely developed, and there were mural art and Tubo scriptures and other ......"

He told the little carpenter about the thousand-year-old history of the rise and fall of the Mogao Grottoes, and the little carpenter was infinitely fascinated by it, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I can't imagine that there is such a treasure land in this place outside the plug, and I want to take a look." ”

Boss Shen shook his head and sighed, and said, "If you go now, you basically won't see anything." ”

The little carpenter was a little surprised and said why? Is it because it's been a long time and the contents are gone?

Boss Shen said that some of the caves were indeed lost due to war or geographical changes, but most of the caves that survive today are due to man-made disasters.

The little carpenter asked what was going on, and Boss Shen chatted with him briefly.

It turns out that the Mogao Grottoes have been passed down to this day, many caves have been empty, but some have been sealed, about 20 years ago, a Taoist priest named Wang Yuanqi discovered the Mogao Grottoes Tibetan Scripture Cave.

There are countless neatly arranged white packages, open it, each bag contains ten volumes of scriptures, and there are other Buddha frame embroidered images, tiled under the white envelope, there are more literature and Buddhist paintings, silk fabrics and Tang Dynasty colored sculptures and other extremely cherished cultural relics.

When this man found this, he sold it for money with foreigners, and then England, France, Orientals, and Russians, and finally America......

A group of national thieves and traitors, together with foreigners, dug up the beautiful Mogao Grottoes, and even the murals were glued away with adhesive tape.

After listening to Boss Shen's story, the little carpenter was filled with indignation, his eyes were full of fire, and he scolded: "That Wang Taoist priest should be killed." ”

Boss Shen nodded and said without hesitation: "That's what I did when I came to the northwest this time. ”

The little carpenter was a little surprised, and asked, "Is the dog thief still alive?" ”

Boss Shen said, "I hope he's still alive." ”

The little carpenter toasted the other party with a glass of wine at the moment, and Boss Shen picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

With this topic, the two chatted while eating, the more they chatted, the more speculative they became, they talked very happily, and they drank too much wine unconsciously, and later the Shen boss was also arrogant, and he settled the account by going to the toilet, which made the little carpenter very embarrassed, but he didn't get entangled.

The two also agreed that if there was a chance, when the little carpenter was done, he could go to Dunhuang, and then the two would get together again and have a drink.

The little carpenter said that you should not come to this set at that time, you must have a treat from me.

Boss Shen laughed and said Okay, then I have to drink a lot of food to make you feel distressed.

The two were full of wine and food, and then went back to the room to sleep, the little carpenter drank wine, and his emotions were strong, but he was not drunk.

His Lingxiao Yin Strategy method had actually reached the realm of the third level of cultivating gods.

The so-called "swallowing and exhaling the qi, the light is obvious", between the surging breath, it is like a rushing river, and the meridians that were originally stagnant and obstructed have also become much smoother.

At this pass, he has felt it since he was in Jinling, but he has been in a bottleneck state for half a year, and he can't climb it, as if he is missing a breath, but he didn't expect to drink a meal today, and he actually crossed it directly.

It's magical.

The little carpenter was so drunk that he didn't think much of it, and went to bed with joy, but the next day he was woken up by a quick knock at the door.

He opened his eyes, first looked into the room, then sat up straight and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Someone outside shouted, "Guest, it's not good, your horse has been stolen." ”

The little carpenter jumped out of bed at once, and cried out loudly, "What? ”

The man outside said anxiously, "Come out and take a look......
