Chapter 167: Gu Tiejun is looking for treasure
When people shouted, Jiao Na and Li Hong hurriedly ran over. Li Hong pinched Qi Xiaoting to "wake up".
"What about Gu Tiejun and Gu Yuzhen?" Qi Xiaoting asked as soon as she woke up.
"Carry the village. How do you feel? The village chief asked with concern.
Qi Xiaoting: "I feel like my head is buzzing." ”
Village Chief: "What's going on?" ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Let's go back to the village and say, it's not something that can be explained in one or two sentences." ”
After listening to Qi Xiaoting, Gu Yuzhen, and Gu Tiejun, people were so angry that they were filled with righteous indignation:
"I didn't expect that the superficially kind 'Doctor Zhi' turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, squatting at the edge of the village and eating the villagers!"
"Evil has evil retribution, and the whole family that blew up Dog Day deserves it!"
Gu Guiping and Gu Ailing's family heard that their daughter was skinned alive and made into a puppet, and they cried to death.
The people present to persuade also scolded the eight generations of the ancestors of the Zhi family. said that if you catch the surname Zhizhi, you have to chop him into mashed meat.
The case of the disappearance of six people in Linbian Village was solved, and Qi Xiaoting and her master and brother made great contributions.
The village chief was even more whimsical, and said to Qi Xiaoting: "I know that I can't keep you here, and you will leave here when the weather is good." I have a reluctant request: before you leave, can you train an incense official for us, just like you ask people for divine water, and let him treat the villagers and eliminate disasters. ”
Qi Xiaoting said euphemistically: "Xiangguan'er is a person arranged by the divine family to do things for them and the people in the world, and it is not something that can be learned by teaching. I can look it up with my heart, and if it happens by chance, I'll do my best! ”
Village Chief: "That's good, that's good!" I would like to thank you for the elders and folks of Linbian Village! ”
Gu Tiejun couldn't be happy: he was rescued and free, his newlywed wife had married someone else, and he was in his twenties with gray hair, and what made him even more unable to raise his head was that he had become a eunuch who was neither male nor female, and he had no confidence to speak in front of people.
"Take me with you when you go, and I'll follow you to live a life of drifting around." One day, Gu Tiejun said to Qi Xiaoting: "I don't have the courage to live here. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "You still have an old father, brother and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces. I see that your brother and sister-in-law are very concerned about you, and it is they who told me about your disappearance, and their expressions are very heavy. ”
Gu Tiejun: "The world is hot and cold, I have no technology, no property, and when I am old and can't do anything, who is still a rare old man."
"I want to follow you, I can walk when I can, and if I can't walk, I will live in a temple and become a monk."
When Qi Xiaoting saw him say this, she knew that he had made up her mind and knew that it was time. He said euphemistically: "Life is multifaceted, if you have a skill and do things for everyone wholeheartedly, you can also gain everyone's respect."
"We are Taoist priests who travel all over the world, and many of the roads are one-way. If you leave, you'll never come back.
"I don't think so, I'll help you find a skill that you can use to serve the people in the village. The people in the village have your help and can lend you a helping hand when you need it. What do you think? ”
"What skills will last a lifetime?" Gu Tiejun asked suspiciously.
Qi Xiaoting: "Let's talk about whether you want to or not, right?" ”
Gu Tiejun: "If there is really a craft that will raise me for a lifetime, I will admit it." As long as I don't have to beg with my face. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Okay, I'll send you to a treasure hunt." Found, it is your creation; If you can't find it, it means that you don't have this blessing in your life, and then decide whether you want to stay or not. ”
Gu Tiejun nodded: "Okay!" I'm going to try my luck! ”
Qi Xiaoting came to the village chief's house again and told him that Gu Tiejun was crying and wanted to go with them. And they are foot Taoist priests, and they really can't take him.
The village chief was angry when he heard this: "Isn't this nonsense!" I rescued you together, but I relied on my life-saving benefactor! No, I'll tell him to go, and nothing I can say will make him a burden to you. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Don't talk about him yet." He was persecuted like this, and it was inevitable that he would think about him in his shoes.
"In the past, I heard that the Zhijia compound was a treasure house, and I was still a little suspicious. After this incident, this statement was really confirmed: it turned out that the branch compound was sitting on a large tomb, which belonged to the kind of yin and yang house.
"Yin and Yang houses are all feng shui treasure houses, and they do not simply refer to the treasures in the tomb below, most of them refer to sitting on the dragon veins. It is said that the true dragon can be found along this dragon vein.
"There is a mausoleum under the branch compound, the scale is not small, it seems that it is either the emperor's tomb or the prince's tomb. With such a noble identity, the mausoleum must have been chosen on the dragon vein.
"Since Gu Tiejun is physically disabled and has the heart to become a monk, I think it is better to let him go down to the ground to break through. In case he can find the real dragon, give him a scale and a half claw or a mouthful of saliva, which is his great creation. ”
Village Chief: "That is, the dragon scales and dragon claws or saliva on the dragon's body are all treasures, which are said to be able to cure diseases and save people, and bring the dead back to life." He is a disabled person, has it, has a worry-free life for the rest of his life, and can also treat diseases and eliminate disasters for the people. It's also good for the villagers, I'm for it! ”
Qi Xiaoting: "But there are two sides to everything, maybe he can't find anything when he goes down, he returns empty-handed, maybe he can't get up again, and the whole person disappears from the world."
"I can only say this to you, in front of him, I can't say it so thoroughly. What I mean by this is that I want you to do the ideological work of himself and his family, taking into account the good and bad aspects, and it is up to him to decide whether to go or not.
"You, who are the village chief, are also a little close, once people can't come back, don't let the villagers come to ask for people for me."
Qi Xiaoting said this in order to exaggerate the atmosphere, and to make the incident more serious and difficult. The more difficult and difficult things are, the more people pay attention to them; And the more treasures you get, the more heroes you get!
"How long will it take to go?" The village chief asked suspiciously.
Qi Xiaoting: "The time is uncertain, I think, it will take five or six days, six or seven days soon!" ”
Village Chief: "Where is the passage down?" ”
Qi Xiaoting: "As long as there is a well nearby." I saw an earthen well not far to the east of the Zhijia compound, and I could use it as a passage. ”
The village chief thought to himself: Such a life-threatening matter, but he kicked the ball to me. When they found the treasure, they were all happy; If you can't find it, it's a human life. Let the people in the village not say anything all day long, Gu Tiejun's old father will not come to me to ask for a son in three days!
I can't admit that I am the head of the village, and I have asked others to train a fragrant official in my village. Now that they have agreed, they want to shirk it, and they really lose the identity of the village chief.
The village head, Gu Jinxing, had no choice but to do the work of Gu Tiejun and his family.
Gu Tiejun said resolutely that he had made up his mind to go. Success is the way out for his life; If he can't succeed, he has no complaints. A disabled body without any skills is also a burden to his family to live.
The old father cried so loudly that he didn't nod or shake his head, and cried when he asked.
The old man felt uncomfortable! If he is not allowed to go, the second son has no strength, no wife and children, and no future life; Let go, that's life and death!
Gu Tiejun's elder brother patted his chest and said, "Brother, if you have a mouthful of food for your brother, you will have a mouthful of food." If you are afraid that no one will take care of you when you are old, I will pass on my eldest son to you and let him give you a pension for the elderly. Even for the sake of the old father's survival, you can't take this risk. ”
"Brother," Gu Tiejun said angrily, "I know that with you and my nephew taking care of me, I can't help it.
"But have you taken care of my food, clothing, and shelter, and the emptiness of my heart? I, a seven-foot man, have no strengths, and I live in the ridicule of people every day, which is worse than death.
"Besides, is the Taoist priest the kind of person who is not sure of his head? Since she can rescue me from the underground mausoleum, she will allow me to find the true dragon and obtain the treasure. I know her divine power, I am in charge of my affairs, this matter is decided, and I am fully responsible for what goes wrong. ”
Village Chief: "It's okay if nothing happens, but once something happens, you won't be able to come up, where will you take full responsibility?" ”
Gu Tiejun had already seen that the village chief was afraid of right and wrong, so he twisted his neck and patted his chest: "This is my own choice, and I will never affect anyone!" In order to let the village chief give a good explanation to the villagers, in this way, I will write my volunteer on a piece of paper, sign and draw it, and prove that I volunteered, okay? ”
The village chief sighed and said helplessly: "If you have to go down, I have to really ask your handwriting as evidence, so that people don't say that I am irresponsible to the villagers." ”
"Okay, I'll write!" Gu Tiejun took out a pen, ink and paper, wrote down his thoughts and determination, and then bit his finger and pressed a big bloody fingerprint on his name.
The passage down is selected in the woods on the east side of the Zhijia compound, which is a dry well, two feet deep, and you can see the bricks and tiles at the bottom of the well during the day.
On the day Gu Tiejun went down the mine, almost all the men, women and children in Linbian Village arrived. Most of them sneered and said:
"There was no water in the dry well, and he jumped down and squatted in it for a while, and then people pulled him up and finished his work. Unless he has the ability to retreat. ”
"There is also treasure in the well at the bottom of the sight? Did you spend five or six years in the tomb and destroy your brain? ”
"I can't help but see the treasure in the tomb, and I want to turn the well into a passage to get it!"
"I want to get rich and want to go crazy!"
"I think it's looking for death!"
"There's no water in the well, and you can't die if you want to!"
In the midst of people's suspicion and sarcasm, Gu Tiejun refused to let people go down with ropes, closed his eyes, and jumped down with his feet together.
There was a "bang" sound in the well, and then there was a splash of water, and the wall of the well was "snapped".
"How can there be water in the well?"
People rushed to the mouth of the well in amazement, and they couldn't help but open their eyes wide and their mouths wide:
The water splashed in the well, but Gu Tiejun's shadow was gone.
