"Roof beams?" I looked at the beams of the abandoned house. Horizontal, vertical and vertical criss-crossed, full of spider webs, gray and dusty, I really can't see the clues.

This Cai Xiaocai girl's Taoism and knowledge are definitely higher than my junior brother, so I'd better be humble.

"I can't see it, and I ask Sister Cai for advice." I whispered.

Cai Xiaocai had a smile on her face, and the expression clearly said, "You know each other." She instructed me: "You drag the table over, how can I go up with such a high beam." ”

I had to become a coolie to mop the tattered table. Only half of the black plums were gurgling around on the table, and I grabbed them and put them in my pocket.

"Bring it!" Cai Xiaocai's eyes were like torches, and she stretched out her hand and asked me.

I pulled out half a plum and handed it to her, "What do you want this thing for?" ”

Cai Xiaocai asked me rhetorically, do you know what this is?

"What?" I asked.

Cai Xiaocai smiled like a little fox: "This is the legendary Taoist top-secret elixir, half of the bite on it, I estimate that it is likely to be eaten by the bear child." ”

"Yo, that's a good thing." I say.

"Yes, this thing is rare, I want to go back and take it to Master for study." Cai Xiaocai said.

I was itchy to see it, and discussed with her: "Sister Cai, why don't you give me a small half, I also want to study it." ”

"You don't want to eat it, do you?" She looked at me crookedly.

Needless to say, I really have this in mind. Don't all those fantasy have such a plot.,Which ravine did the hero fall into.,Inadvertently found Da Luo Jindan.,After eating, it's what happened.,Skill skyrocketed or something.。

Cai Xiaocai said: "Brother Xiao Feng, look at you screaming one sister at a time, I will give you more knowledge." Ancient pills are not allowed to be eaten indiscriminately by ordinary people, and this thing is not a blessing or a curse for ordinary people, because it contains highly poisonous. ”

"Poisonous?" I was confused.

Cai Xiaocai said: "All great tonic medicines are often toxic, and this poison is not the poison of ordinary poisons, but the medicine is too violent for ordinary people to bear." This is the saying that there is no compensation for nothing. Moreover, a kind of elixir corresponds to a kind of Taoist cultivation, and what foreign medicine to take when cultivating to a realm is all exquisite. Fortunately, the bear child in the village is still young, and many of the medicinal properties of this pill cannot be volatile, if you change to an adult, it is like you eat it, and the body has been collected at this time. ”

"Then I won't eat, let's study and research." I say.

Cai Xiaocai looked at Wen Wen quietly, but he was extremely arrogant in his bones, and glared: "You study a fart, what will you study." Hurry up and move the table. ”

My face was pulled down at once, seeing that you are a delicate girl, I am embarrassed to compare with you, you really have to be cheap.

Cai Xiaocai probably saw that my face was not good, and his tone softened: "If you behave well, I will teach you more experience, and the pill will be divided into half of you at that time." Look at you, you don't have to say a word to shake your face, are you still a big man? ”

In this situation, the big picture is important, and I also want to know what secrets are hidden in this abandoned house. Instead of arguing with her, it is better to follow her, and when the matter is over, the road will go to the sky, and no one will get in the way.

I held my breath and dragged the god table. This table is old and sunk, and it is too old to die, and it is estimated that it will die on the ground for a long time, and it is difficult to drag this one.

My head was covered in dust and I was sweating hotly, and my face was so dirty that I couldn't see it.

Cai Xiaocai laughed and came over to help me, we finally dragged the table under the beam, Cai Xiaocai shook the table, feeling that it was quite strong, she held on to the edge of the table and jumped up.

I secretly took a breath of cold air, good guy, the table is more than a meter from the ground, she didn't run, she jumped in the air, and jumped up so easily, sure enough, there were two brushes.

Cai Xiaocai asked me to hold up the table, she slowly straightened her body, and shone something on the beam of the room with a small flashlight.

She watched very carefully, not sparing every inch. I leaned on the table, craned my neck to look at her, looked at her for a while, my brain was deprived of oxygen, I was a little dizzy, and I quickly lowered my head. At this time, I saw the three-legged incense burner.

Suddenly, a question popped into my head, and it thundered in my head. Something isn't right.

When I first arrived in this room, I didn't find that there was a pill hidden in the incense burner, but it was Cheng Hai who reminded me that there was something inside, so I picked out the pill with a copper drill. So the question is, who did it when the pill was hidden in the incense burner? If you reasoned normally, it should be the bear child in the village, and the pill was bitten by him, and he was the last witness, so it should be hidden by him.

The question is, why did he hide the pill in the incense burner?

According to the logic of ordinary bear children, he found this thing, took a bite, and found that it tasted very strange, so he threw it away, or put it in his pocket and took it home to play again, but why did he hide the bitten thing in the ashes of the incense burner?

Even if he was afraid that others would know about it, he would hide it, in my opinion, he wouldn't hide it like this. It may be hidden in a dark corner or in a crack in the wall, but it is better than hiding here. The incense burner is placed on the bright side, and people can see it at a glance, and it is hidden in it, which means that it is a little dark under the lamp. This move is a bit too adult-oriented.

So now there is only one explanation that makes sense, this pill was originally hidden in the incense burner, and it was found by the bear child, he took it out and took a bite and put it back.

But there is something that can't be explained in this way, that is, how does the bear child know that there is an elixir in the incense burner?

It's a small detail, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that there is something wrong with it, a mystery, and even the whole abandoned house is secretive, oozing an indescribable coldness.

I was thinking about it, Cai Xiaocai suddenly said: "I found it, I found it!" ”

She used her flashlight to shine on the beams of the room, which was about a meter away, and I looked hard, and something was reflected in the light. The thing was stacked on top of each other, at the intersection of the three beams, and it looked like a piece of clothing.

"Clothes?" I wondered.

Cai Xiaocai said: "Have you heard of the rules for putting clothes on the beams? ”

I shook my head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Cai Xiaocai said: "I've heard of a similar saying, one of the clothes on the beam of the house may be for the town, and there is another possibility, this is the clothes of the elderly, they put the clothes on the beam of the house after they died, so that their souls can guard the home and become a family immortal." Brother Xiao Feng, why don't you know anything, what have you learned? ”

I blushed and had a thick neck: "I haven't come out of the hall yet, I just entered the threshold." ”

"No wonder, little intern." Cai Xiaocai said: "I took off the clothes on the beams and saw what was going on." ”

I stopped her: "Sister Cai, forget it, how many years has this old house been, and I don't know how many years the clothes have been placed, let's not make any extraneous branches." Once there are really any rules, what if we break them and get into trouble. ”

"Are you scared? You're just leaving. "Cai Xiaocai looks at me.

"I just don't think it's necessary." I said, "The gentleman has not yet erected a dangerous wall." It's okay to find out the truth out of interest, but you can't rely on it for this reason to make trouble for others. ”

Cai Xiaocai looked at me. I looked at her very seriously.

The girl laughed "poof": "Look at your ghost, like a flower-faced cat, and you taught me a lesson." Well, what you said also makes sense, I'm here purely out of curiosity, curiosity kills cats, so don't look at it. ”

She jumped off the table. Reached into his pocket and took out the pill, and broke half of it for me: "Brother Xiao Feng, we can be considered acquainted, here you go." ”

I'm overjoyed, this girl is not bad, she counts.

I hurriedly took it, for fear that she would regret it. Cai Xiaocai said: "Since this is the case, there is nothing to see, let's go back now, and we can catch the bonfire party." ”

We walked out, and when we got to the door, she suddenly stopped and tilted her head sideways: "Hey, did you hear anything?" ”

I listened carefully, and faintly heard a strange sound behind me, like someone making a "whoosh" sound, slow and long, faint and shallow. It's like a nasal voice humming softly.

I turned around, and at some point there was an old white monkey squatting on the table of the god table. It scared the hell out of me.

The monkey was so old that the hair on his whole body drooped down, and his monkey face looked like an old man at first glance. Especially those monkey eyes, deep and terrifying. It made its hands peach-shaped, but its hands were empty, and there was nothing.

Cai Xiaocai also saw it, she raised her eyebrows and drank: "Pretend to be a ghost!" Then something flew out in my hand, I screamed and didn't stop it, and watched the thing hit the monkey, only to hear a crisp sound of "ding", and the white monkey disappeared in an instant, and the front of me returned to a dirty and messy table, covered with dust everywhere, as if nothing had happened.

The thing Cai Xiaocai hit was the incense burner on the table. She walked over and picked up a black pebble from the ground and put it back together. I smiled and said, "You still have a secret weapon." Cai Xiaocai glanced at me: "That's it." The rivers and lakes are sinister, what to do once you encounter a pervert. ”

She and I went to the table and checked it carefully, and it was dusty, and there were no monkey footprints on it, so I was sure that it was indeed an illusion just now. I secretly wondered, evil hey, out of thin air, an illusion of an old monkey appeared.

Cai Xiaocai picked up the incense burner, thought about it, lifted the incense burner to the corner, turned it over, and poured out all the incense ashes inside.

The ash fell into smoke, choking us and coughing.

Cai Xiaocai took the incense burner out of the house, I was afraid that she would run away secretly, so I hurriedly followed. When she came out, she found that she was turning the incense burner upside down, looking at the rubbings below by the moonlight.

"What is written?" I asked.

Cai Xiaocai beckoned me over and pointed to the words on it to show me. The handwriting is extremely blurry, rusty and mottled, and I can barely see the words "The world is scattered and separated", and the words in the middle are really unclear.

"What does that mean?" I asked.

Cai Xiaocai said: "Eight Immortals Han Zhongli." ”
