Before the rescuers arrived, the three of us had already arrived in the county seat, and my father wanted to invite Ji Zongbu to live at home for a period of time several times, but he refused.

Looking at my father's lost expression, I knew that he just wanted to spend more time with me, but Ji Zongbu acted decisively and took me to Chengdu without the slightest hesitation.

The only thing that made my father feel relieved was that Ji Zongbu had no intention of not letting me continue my studies, and the university I was admitted to was also in Chengdu.

Ji Zongbu hurriedly took me to Chengdu but disappeared, leaving me only an address and phone number, and followed the address to an antique street, blue bricks and green tiles, old houses and stone roads, like the tourist attractions of those ancient towns that I had been to before.

It's just that these buildings are obviously not built after the modern era, and as soon as you enter the street, you will be greeted by a quaint atmosphere.

There were a variety of merchants on both sides, and I searched one by one, and finally stopped in front of a shop with a plaque that read "Changshengdang", the door was open, and inside sat a classical woman who blended in with the street scene.

The woman was wearing a well-fitting black cheongsam, with a delicate face and a green silk face, and was sitting on the counter reading a book.

I am a little timid, I don't know how to talk when I see people, especially beautiful women, although I am sure that this immortal life should be the place where Ji Zongbu asked me to come, but I still stood at the door and hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to go in, until the woman saw me, her eyes were slightly surprised, and she walked out of the house in a curling manner.

"Are you here for someone?"

The woman looked at me, I blushed and said a little overwhelmed, "Please, is Sister Yu here?" ”

"What's the matter with her?" The woman asked.

I said, "It was my master who asked me to come." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she giggled, "You are the second apprentice of the eighth master?" ”

I nodded awkwardly, and she smiled as she ushered me into the room, then sat on the side and looked at me with a smile.

I was stared at left and right, and I didn't have a place to put my hands, so I heard her say, "Is Erwazi your name?" ”

"No, my name is Bai Xiaoyi, and the second baby is my name." I replied truthfully.

"Bai Xiaoyi?"

Sister Yu frowned slightly, "Then why do you call you a second baby, and you don't stay next to each other." ”

"Because I have an older brother who died just after birth, his name is Da Wazi, so I call him Er Wazi." I said.

Sister Yu nodded and said, "Okay, you will be called a big name in the future, the second baby is weird, did the eighth master say what you were asked to do?" ”

I said no, just let me come to you, and nothing else.

Sister Yu listened and muttered for a moment, "You can live here first, there is a room upstairs, everything is new, you can use it, if you need to tell me, I will be here during the day." ”

As he spoke, he took out a bunch of keys and told me which door was opened, and asked some irrelevant questions, and left when it was almost dark, and before leaving, Sister Yu looked solemnly at me and said: "After twelve o'clock, no matter what movement you hear, don't open the door, let alone respond, you know?" ”

I listened to my heart trembling slightly, this sentence is very familiar, and I vaguely feel that the incident in Sanchawan may not have passed like this.

Upstairs is a small room, although not big but all the daily necessities, I lay in bed suddenly felt very tired, these days of accumulated tiredness suddenly came up, forced to doze off to call my father and mother to report safety, and then took a shower and fell asleep. In the following days, Ji Zongbu never showed up again, Sister Yu came to open the door on time before 8 o'clock every morning, and there was no business in the store, I couldn't help but wonder if there was a need for this store to exist.

In the past few days, Sister Yu has told me a lot of topics about the treasure-holding people, and it has also given me a preliminary understanding of this industry.

The Treasure Gate also has a great origin, belonging to the outer eight doors of the old society, not among the three hundred and sixty lines, and was specially born to find the treasure of heaven and earth.

Where the wind and water are beautiful and the feng shui is good, most of them have "heavenly and earthly treasures".

Heaven and earth treasures, naturally are the treasures of heaven and earth, according to legend, secretly protected by ghosts and gods, if touched casually, it will definitely attract a catastrophe, and must use a special method to get close to it.

There is a way to go, and there are four uniques in the line of holding treasure, that is, watching the sky, the earth, stepping on the dragon, and the handicap.

"Observing the sky" refers to observing the sky at night, looking at the direction of the auspicious stars and the dimness of the stars, you can distinguish the auspicious and prosperous directions between the heavens and the earth, and the flow of vitality;

"Xiangdi" is to look for mountains and water, look at feng shui and know the pattern of dragon veins, you can know the circulation of life at the acupoint, and know the value of sand and water;

"Stepping on the dragon" means that this pedestrian is exquisite and skilled, and he can go up the mountain to catch tigers, and he can go down to the sea to catch dragons.

"Handicap" is to say that you are well-informed, mountain, medicine, physiognomy, life, divination, all of which are not refined, observe words and colors, and know each other, which is the basic skill of entry.

I was at the age of boiling blood at the time, and I only felt a rush of blood when I heard this, and I couldn't wait to learn these methods immediately and go back to avenge my grandfather.

Sister Yu noticed the change in me and told me that after entering this line, it is indeed possible to be rich and noble, different from mortals, but there is a good saying, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, how expensive it is, how much risk there is, this line of life with a head to live, maybe one day a small life will have to be thrown inside, why this line of talent withered, even few people know it, it is because many people can't hold back the treasure, and finally put their lives into it.

And there are many taboos in this line, such as Ji Zongbu once said that the treasure is not upside down, and the rooster does not show its head, this inverted bucket refers to both tomb robbery and those treasures with the owner, like what is buried in the grave, placed by other people's homes, no matter how good the thing is, it cannot be moved, otherwise it will definitely die.

Hearing this, I pondered, if according to this statement, Ji Zongbu was afraid of breaking this taboo before accepting me as an apprentice, so he didn't dare to make a move, then the ghost mother-in-law and Yingzi belong to the people who have masters?

But what does it have to do with me if they have a master, and he said that the master of Yingzi is the thing at the bottom of the river, so what does that thing have to do with me?

It's a pity that Ji Zongbu has no trace until now, and I must ask him clearly when he appears.

Sister Yu also told me that this heavenly spirit and earth treasure are actually two things, one is the heavenly spirit and the other is the earth treasure.

Heavenly spirits are generally living creatures, they are spiritual, Taoist beasts, generally absorb the breath of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, slowly evolve in the body, so that their bodies have mutated, so as to give birth to "treasures", this probability is less than 1 in 10,000, can be met but not sought.

The centipede that has become a fine has the "Wind Bead" on its body, and the fox that has become the climate has the "Huoyun Pill" on its body, which are rare treasures in the world, and they are also priceless treasures, called "Shangling"; In contrast, although rare, according to the laws of nature, the treasure that can be formed more than one jiazi can be called "Zhongling"; As for those "bezoars" or "Ma Bao", although they are also valuable and difficult to find in the world, they can only be regarded as "lower spirits" from the perspective of phase spirits.

And the earth treasure is generally a dead thing, something that can't move, what gold, silver jewelry, strange flowers and plants, this kind of thing is also full of aura, unique to the splendor of heaven and earth. Gold and silver jewelry buried in the ground, a long time, will be condensed into a human form, different treasures into the human form is not the same, there is a sentence to summarize as: gold and silver boy jade Jiao Niang, pearl sister, strange ugly man.

The most widespread folklore is that the ginseng that has become a fine will become a ginseng doll, jumping out to play, as long as you pin it with a needle with a red thread tied to the root, you can find the thousand-year-old ginseng after dawn.

Treasures that can be transformed into human shapes can be called "treasures", which are difficult to find for thousands of miles and are rare in the world. And those strange flowers and plants, although they have the essence of the sun and the moon, have the ability to resurrect the dead, raise the dead, and flesh and bones, but they can only be called "middle treasures"; As for the treasures buried in the ground or some rare herbs, even if they are worth 10,000 gold, they can only be called "lower treasures".

That day, Sister Yu talked to me in the store until late before going back, and before leaving, she specially explained that I should close the doors and windows, and I lay alone in bed for a long time and couldn't be calm, and even began to suspect that the matter of Sanchawanzi was something that was going on with heaven and earth.

Ji Zongbu once said that Yingzi is a treasure, and the treasure that can be transformed into a human form is a treasure, could it be that Yingzi was taken away by something after drowning in the Yellow River, if it is a treasure of the earth, it must be a dead thing, and it will not be something buried in the Yellow River.

Thinking about it, my eyelids were heavy and I fell asleep, and in my dream I saw my grandfather again, and my grandfather's clumsy and lonely figure appeared on the bank of the Yellow River, waving at me and shouting something, I ran towards him, but no matter how I ran, I couldn't shorten the distance, just when I was in a hurry, a group of people suddenly appeared in the Yellow River water behind my grandfather, and hugged my grandfather's body and dragged him into the water.

I woke up from my bed, and before I could remember what was going on, I heard a sharp tapping at the door downstairs.
