Chapter 8 The Ghost of the Bagua Tomb Tower (8)
"Don't look at it, you can't see it" Cong Lao lifted his glasses and said, "Just a novice like you, you still want to peek at my strength, it's very early, young man", Cong Lao found out about my behavior, I scratched my head in embarrassment, at this time Gu Ming sat up from the ground, and asked in confusion: "What about the lion, where is the big lion in the sky" I quickly told him what Cong Lao said before, and as a result, this kid was extremely excited, just like getting a peerless treasure, and he was stunned for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I wouldn't have told this kid if I had known about it.
I hadn't had time to ask Cong Lao before, what is the connection between this place and the Bagua Tomb Tower we are looking for. Taking advantage of the time now, I hurriedly asked: "Old Cong, is this gossip tomb tower on the mountain, we have come all the way here, but we are not here to travel, and is Old Cong very familiar with this place?"
Cong Lao took out a pack of soft China from his pocket, took out one from it, and threw the rest to me, Gu Ming and I were not very polite, took out a lighter from our pocket and smoked one. Cong Lao looked at the ceiling, took a few puffs, and said, "In the early years, I came here with two friends, and I was not a Taoist priest at that time, and I didn't know any Taoism. At that time, I was very poor, and my life was very hard. When the three of them heard about the whereabouts of the "inscription" here, they wanted to come and hunt for treasures, and if we accidentally let us find it, we could also get rid of this life of having a meal without a meal. Along the way, we went through various climbs and crossed rivers to get here, and the road was not so smooth at that time, and the road was full of potholes when it rained.
Cong Lao paused and took a few more puffs of his cigarette. "A few of us climbed the mountain and dug holes every day, but we still didn't find any clues. At this time, one of the three people named Ah Ping couldn't hold on, he said, "Why don't we go back, there is not even a game to eat in this mountain, and the dry food we begged for before is almost finished, let's go and beg the boss Wang in the theater, maybe the boss Wang will continue to do the work of cleaning the latrine for us." ”
Gu Ming immediately interjected and said, "When did you say Cong Lao, it seems that it was a long time ago when I heard you talk about the theater. "You don't care when it is, just remember that you weren't born at that time," Cong Lao continued, "I remember that after Ah Ping said this at that time, I supported it, after all, dry food is really not enough, if we continue to stay here, we will starve to death before we are tired." I thought that another person, Ah Kun, also agreed, but I didn't expect Ah Kun to object at that time, "If you want to go, you go, Lao Tzu will not live without dignity, Lao Tzu wants to let those who look down on me kneel down and beg me." Ah Ping opened his eyes and roared angrily, and then he pointed at Ah Ping and me, "You two go back and be poor ghosts for the rest of your life." We were very angry when we heard this, Ah Ping pulled me back to the residence, we distributed the only dry food left, and left, although Ah Kun said this is a bit excessive, but it is a good friend who has been suffering together, before leaving, I left my share of dry food to him, and I took the roots that I had cut on the mountain before as food."
"I didn't expect to go back, only to know that the theater's boss Wang died of a serious illness, and now his son is managing the theater, Boss Wang's son is a very kind-hearted person, hearing about our situation, arranged a few small roles for us, and a place to live. Half a month later, our life was very comfortable, basically worry-free, then I remembered Ah Kun, and said to Ah Ping: "Why don't we go to Ah Kun, call him back, and we will live such a life together" I didn't expect Ah Ping to have such thoughts, but it was not in the way of face and embarrassment to say it. At that time, we talked to the new boss, who was very supportive and gave us a sum of money for the journey. ”
Two days later, in the morning, we arrived at the place where we had lived together, but we couldn't see Ah Kun anymore, Ah Kun carved a sentence on the wall, "See the forest to find me", we didn't think much about it, we went to the previous forest to look for him. After a few turns and a few trees, we saw Ah Kun standing and smiling at us. I hurriedly ran over and patted him on the shoulder with my hand, "Good boy, let's find it, now let's go back" Suddenly I saw that the smile on the corner of Ah Kun's mouth was a little exaggerated, so I felt that something was wrong, and quickly took a few steps back. Ah Kun smiled: "Why haven't you seen me for a few days, and you are so afraid of me?" I've found the "inscription", I've also cultivated the Dao, hahaha, I'm invincible, I've become an immortal", and then he took out a wolf head from behind and said to us, look, this is the "inscription", his eyes are extremely crazy. “
Ah Ping turned around and ran at that time, shouting "crazy, crazy" as he ran, only to see Ah Kun wave his hand, Ah Ping's head left his body by himself and fell to the ground, and his headless body ran forward a few steps and also fell. Ah Kun had green tendons on his head, gritted his teeth and shouted, "All have to die", and then looked at me, my instinctive feet were weak and sat on the ground, I thought I might die like this, and then I fainted"
"When I woke up, I found myself lying in bed, and I didn't recognize the surroundings, when an old man with gray hair smiled at me, "Wake up, child", and I nodded. The old man said that he wanted to save your friend who had fallen into the devil's path. At that time, I got up from the bed and said excitedly, "Yes", the old man smiled, took a pill I didn't know what to eat, and then asked me, "Do you want to become a Taoist priest who slays demons and destroys demons", I nodded without thinking about it"
Speaking of this, he stopped, thought for a moment, and said, "Later, I learned that the pill was the elixir,"
At that time, Gu Ming and I were shocked, it turned out that the elixir of life really existed
Cong Lao said again: "The wolf head that Ah Kun took at that time is related to the Bagua Tomb Tower, and it is also related to you, as for how it is related, you will know when you go in, this thing is very evil."
Suddenly, there was a sound of opening the door in the courtyard outside, just after listening to Cong Lao's story, we were a little nervous and hurriedly guarded, but it was the middle-aged man who walked in, only to see him carry a bamboo basket made of wooden strips and walked in, placed on the wooden table next to the door, and then nodded to us and walked out again.
Cong Lao smiled: "Eat, why are you still standing stupidly, you have to get up early tomorrow morning." "I opened it and saw that there were five dishes and one soup in it. Gu Ming and I didn't eat in the morning, and we used a lot of spiritual power, and now we are hungry and sleepy, so we hurriedly rushed up and ate in a big gulp, the dishes at noon are all small specialties in the local mountains, there are meat and vegetables. For me, who lives by the sea, the food in the mountains makes me feel very novel, and while eating, I say, "This dish is good, this is also good", Gu Ming even directly picked up the dish and sent it to his mouth.
From the old man didn't rob us, and when we finished eating, we looked at Cong Lao embarrassedly, Cong Lao nodded with a smile: "Young people eat more is good for their health" and then he asked us if we were full. We nodded wildly, and Cong Lao silently opened the partition under the dish; Kindness? Why are there five dishes and one soup under the partition, Cong Lao smiled and said, "Since you are full, don't rob me", and then devoured it.
