Chapter Seventy-Two: Trust

The water of the water tank comes from the pool near the thatched house, and there is a chisel on the mountain wall at one end of the pool to flow water, driving a waterwheel on the pool, and the bucket is filled with water and naturally tilts into the tank made of bamboo boards, and the mouth of the sink goes down into the water tank, and the two tanks each have two tanks, and the water that overflows the tank flows into the pool to form a circulation.

The continuous supply of water keeps the tank full, and the spilled water seeps into the ground, but I don't know why I put the tank here, and it looks a little special.

Seeing that I could see that Qiao'er, who had taken off her coat, was entering the water tank, and her graceful figure made me unconsciously look at it twice, and I forgot to avoid it for a while.

Qiao'er screamed "ah", scooped some water with a scoop and splashed it on me, "Look at it, pervert, I knew I wouldn't save you just now." ”

I immediately turned my gaze away, pretending to be righteous and awe-inspiring: "Who looks at you, I don't know how to avoid it, I just think this water tank is strange, as if I have seen it somewhere." ”

"I think you're weird, it's a very ordinary water tank, we had it when we came here, and now it's just used for healing and bathing, not to mention how comfortable it is." Qiao'er sat in the water tank, smiled with satisfaction, and floated in the water.

Idle, I approached Junko's water tank and took a closer look. This water tank is more than half a person high, the whole body is ginger, the round belly is big, and the water tank of ordinary people is the same, but the body is slightly smaller, there are auspicious clouds and cranes painted around, and the words "Buddha's light shines" are engraved on the edge of the cylinder mouth.

The more I look at it, the more familiar I am, the word "burial jar" blurted out, it turned out that the lack of the cylinder lid is so different, when I was a child, I heard my grandfather say, the funeral jar is also known as the monk coffin, is a kind of funeral utensils after the monk's death, the corpse is dehumidified and embalmed and put into the cylinder, plus the cylinder lid is sealed, you can maintain the appearance before death. There is also a feature of the burial jar, that is, the coffin specially prepared for the Taoist monk, which began in the Tang Dynasty when Buddhism was at its peak, and not every monk can have this treatment, it is definitely a jar for one person, and it will be engraved with the life of the deceased, but I looked at it for a long time, and I didn't find it, it was complete, but the lid of the cylinder was missing.

At first, I thought it was deliberately erased, but I thought it was too much, and there was not even a trace of dirt, as for why it appeared here, and it was borrowed by Qiao'er's master and apprentice, there are two reasons. First, that is, the size of the monk is not suitable when he died, so he chose another cylinder, which explains why I didn't find the inscription, but this kind of mistake that will not be wrong once 10,000 times is absolutely impossible to happen, and second, that is, the monk was deliberately removed after his death, as for what is the reason, now I want to break my head I may not know one or two.

Looking at the two people who were soaked in the tank, the more awkward it became, who do you say will take a bath in the coffin, just when I was struggling to tell me about it, Chang Butong came out of the grass hut and beckoned me to come over.

I asked, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

"The old man has something to tell you, you come in first." Chang Butong unhurriedly let out an opening.

As soon as I entered, I found that there was a big difference between the inside and the outside of the hut, and the large space inside was divided into two floors, and the lower floor was piled up with large and small medicine jars, as well as specimens of animals and plants, but on a clean table, a telegraph machine aroused my interest.

I remember that a few years ago, the elders of a family in the village were mourning, and they couldn't notify their son who was far away from the province for a while, so they went to the county seat, and I followed them happily. They sent an urgent telegram to the telecommunications office, and within two days the son of the family rushed back, which was amazing, and I was very interested at the thought of the sound of "tick dada da", but I had never seen it so closely, let alone touched it.

I walked up to the telegraph and didn't know where to start, I had only seen such a magical thing in a textbook before, but I didn't expect to encounter it here, and I was both excited and worried, lest I accidentally press it.

Chang Butong saw that my mind was not on him, so he asked, "What, you like this thing?" ”

I replied, "Yes, it's funny how you said that it delivered the news like a monkey, and people from 108,000 miles away could receive it." ”

"Hehe, don't be busy yet, there are a few things for you to do, and when you are done, the old man will give you this telegraph." Chang Butong said.

You must know that at that time, telegraph machines were absolutely unavailable to private individuals, not only could not afford to buy them, but also could not buy them, and this involved various reasons, and if you were not careful, you might be charged with collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. I don't want to use it, so I just want to be a toy collector for a long time.

So, without looking back, I said, "Okay, just do what you say." ”

"The corpse has fled, it has just broken the coffin, and the vitality must not have been able to recover, and it was stabbed by Qiao'er's eight-colored divine flag, I don't think I will cause trouble so quickly, for today's plan, I can only take advantage of this time to step up your training, enter the role as much as possible, and deal with events like the corpse, one more person will have more strength." Chang Butong said earnestly.

As soon as I heard it, he was waiting for me here, and this sugar-coated cannonball made me say yes or no, and not yes or no. If you think about it, even if I didn't have this telegraph, I'm afraid it would be hard for me to excuse myself.

"Okay, what the master has to say, the apprentice doesn't dare to disobey. However, I was afraid that I would not be able to cope with it myself. I hesitated.

"Don't worry, don't you still believe in being a teacher?" Chang Butong replied cheerfully.

I asked again, "Master, the generals of the Nine Sects are all highly skilled, why are the corpses so difficult to deal with?" ”

"Hey, the corpse is not an ordinary zombie, it is a little difficult to deal with, but it is not difficult for us. But we were really careless in this action, underestimating the ability of the corpse, and the body of the chief Qin Dao was consumed too much, coupled with his old age and weakness, the old man was really afraid that he would repeat the mistakes of the past, and it would inevitably drain his remaining life if he was reckless. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and now each of us has some things to deal with at hand, and I have lost some time by taking you over. I told you before that there is a shortage of personnel, and I can't join forces to deal with the task for a while. Jin Ling is not here, and the others are far away, and they all have tasks on their bodies, and the corpses can only be handled by a few of us, so we can only train you and Runzi as much as possible. I'm most worried about Long Yiming and Daoist Qin now, you also know Long Yiming's situation, the child's temper, if you don't take the medicine on time, I'm really afraid that he will die, only here, a few of us can take care of each other, in case the corpse comes back, someone can resist, so the old man can only entrust the heavy responsibility to you. Chang Butong said the reason again, revealing the necessity and helplessness between the lines.
