Chapter 42: Tomb Robbery (I)
"Little brother, I look at your outfit, you should still be a student, right?" He suddenly asked a question that was not related to the wind and horses.
"yes!" I nodded, waiting for his next step.
"So..."Daoist Qingxuan showed a weird smile, "Poor Dao also said before, there are all kinds of magic weapons in the dojo, although the 'evil baby' is powerful, Poor Dao also has magic weapons that can deal with it." It's just that the 'evil baby' is extremely rare, and to deal with it, you have to get a rare magic weapon, but this price... It's a bit expensive! You, a student, must not be able to afford it, so Poor Dao nodded first and then shook his head, that's the reason. ”
When I heard that there was something that could deal with the 'evil baby', I was overjoyed, so I didn't care if he was expensive or not, and said hurriedly: "The price is good, show me the things first!" ”
"That's okay, little brother, you wait first, I'll go and get it for you." Daoist Qingxuan smiled and walked into the inner room of the inner hall, and came out after a while, holding a gray cloth bag in his hand. He walked up to me and handed me the cloth bag: "This bag is called the 'Ink Ghost Bag', you take it first." ”
He handed me the bag and turned and went into the back room.
Ink ghost bag? I held the gray bag in my hand, a little skeptical. Judging from the touch feel, the material of this bag is somewhat special, not like linen, not like nylon, a bit like a mixture of metal and cloth, but it is very soft to the touch. The whole bag has a length of about one meter, the mouth is small and large, a red line is worn at the mouth of the bag, and the mouth of the bag can be tied tightly with a slight pull. The bag as a whole is gray, but the bottom cloth of the bag is inlaid with nine gold threads, which is shiny and eye-catching. The bag is painted with a Tai Chi Bagua pattern, which is black and white, giving people a mysterious feeling. Facing the other side of the Tai Chi Bagua pattern, a strange charm was drawn in red cinnabar, but it was not something I could recognize.
Just as he was looking at this 'ink ghost bag', Daoist Qingxuan walked out, holding a strange metal object in his left hand and a command flag in his right hand.
"This is the Soul Banner." Daoist Qingxuan waved the order flag in his right hand, and the order flag was painted with several dark patterns, decorated with red lines, alternating red and black, which was very terrifying to look at.
I took the order flag called the 'Soul Attracting Banner', and Daoist Qingxuan handed over the metal item in his left hand: "This is the 'Three Clear Bells', together with the two magic weapons just now, you can deal with that 'evil baby'!" ”
Qingxuan Taoist's 'Three Clear Bells' are divided into two parts. The upper end is pointed, and the lower end is round, which is an inverted bronze bell.
"Dao Chief, how do you use these three things?"
Qingxuan Taoist said with a smile: "The soul attraction banner can attract the evil baby over, and the Sanqing Bell has the effect of settling the gods and subduing the demons, as long as you shake the Sanqing Bell, the evil baby will naturally be in the soul, and then you use the ink ghost bag to collect it, and the great work is done!" ”
"It's that simple?" I will be skeptical.
Qingxuan Daoist smiled: "This ink ghost bag is the treasure of the poor Daoist sect, and it has the Dao technique blessed by the poor Dao himself, which is infinitely powerful, and it is more than enough to deal with that 'evil baby'." Little brother rest assured, as long as he operates according to what Poor Dao said, the 'evil baby' will naturally be caught. ”
Thinking of Daoist Qingxuan's previous talk, he knew so much about the 'evil baby', this 'ink ghost bag', 'soul attracting flag', and 'Sanqingling' should be able to deal with the red-eyed ghost. Thinking of this, I was sure in my heart and asked, "Dao Chief, I have these three magic weapons, how much is it?" As I spoke, I pulled out my wallet.
"Little brother, I told you, these three things are the treasures of my Dao Sect, especially this 'Ink Ghost Bag', which has been in the hands of my master since I was too master, and has been passed down to the poor Dao for more than a hundred years. Today is to see that the little brother is in big trouble, you have come to my dojo many times, you and I are destined, I just took it out, so the price will naturally not be low, little brother, you have to be mentally prepared! ”
No matter how expensive it is, it won't be tens of thousands, right?
Listening to the grinding and chirping of the Qingxuan Daoist, I said impatiently: "Daoist, you can make a price!" ”
"Let me tell you, the unit price of these 'Sanqing Bells' and 'Soul Attracting Flags' is 10,000, and this ink ghost bag is more expensive, one costs 100,000." Daoist Qingxuan said a price that stunned me.
"These three things cost 120,000? "I was stunned by the price.
Qingxuan Daoist smiled: "Little brother, I know that you are a student, and you shouldn't have much money, so Sanqing Ling and the Soul Attracting Banner will be given to you as gifts, you only need to pay the money of the ink ghost bag, 100,000 is enough." ”
"100,000 ......," I said with a wry smile, "Dao Chief, it's still too expensive... Could it be cheaper? ”
Daoist Qingxuan frowned and remained silent.
"Dao Chief, you can be cheaper..."
Daoist Qingxuan was silent for a while, with a reluctant expression: "Look at what you sincerely want to buy, then I will give you a nine-percent discount, ninety thousand, it can't be lower!" ”
I rubbed with him for a while, and the price finally reached 80,000, and he refused to drop it again.
"Eighty thousand... Where am I going to get this 80,000? … Dao Chief, are you willing to rent out this magic weapon? I asked tentatively.
Daoist Qingxuan shook his head and said, "Little brother said that he laughed, Poor Dao opened the door to do business, only selling and not renting." That 'evil baby' is very vicious, and if there is such a fierce existence around you, you and your friends are in danger! The choice is yours whether to buy this magic weapon or not, but if the poor road is yours, 80,000 yuan to buy a safe one, it is very cost-effective! ”
I was shocked in my heart, what Daoist Qingxuan said was right, that 'evil baby' had already killed Da Fei and Xiao Xu, if I didn't act again, Xiao Hei and Fan Ruru might be in danger! Compared to their lives, what is 80,000 yuan? As soon as I thought of this, I gritted my teeth and said, "Eighty thousand is eighty thousand, Dao Chief, you wait for me, I'll raise money!" ”
Qingxuan Taoist twisted his beard and smiled: "Okay, the things are poor for you." ”
When I got out of the dojo, I was at a loss. I'm just a police academy student, where can I get these 80,000 yuan in a short time? To borrow? None of my friends are particularly rich. Looking for your parents? What is the reason for asking for so much at once? To steal? To grab? I was caught in a dilemma.
I don't know... In the spell book left by my grandmother, are there any spells that turn stones into gold... I was a little tired of thinking, thinking about it, and suddenly my heart moved. It is impossible to turn stones into gold, otherwise my grandmother would have become a rich man, but when I thought of the spell road, I suddenly remembered that Xiaobai once told me that she knew where there were antiques and could take me to dig them!
Antique! Antiques are valuable!
"Xiaobai!" I screamed silently and ran towards the school.
When I arrived at the foot of the mountain behind the school, it was almost dusk, and I went up the mountain road and began to look for the boulder crooked tree that Xiaobai had mentioned. There are many boulders on the mountain, but there is a crooked neck tree next to it, so it is difficult to find. I found it in the evening, and I almost searched the whole mountain, but I still didn't find it. When it got dark, I didn't have a flashlight, and my phone was broken, and if it weren't for the moonlight in the sky, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to move an inch. By the light of the moon, in a state of hunger and exhaustion, I searched for more than an hour, and then I found the place that seemed to be what Xiaobai said.
A large rock more than ten meters long and several meters high was piled up on a gentle slope on the mountainside, next to a pine tree several meters high, the tip of which was crooked to one side.
"I guess this is it."
I walked under the pine tree, leaned against the pine tree, and tapped the trunk: "Xiaobai! Xiaobai! I'm coming, come out! I waited breathlessly, looking around, and waited for about ten minutes, but Xiaobai still didn't appear.
"Do you really want me to light three pillars of incense before you are willing to come out?" I said to myself, "I was in such a hurry that I forgot to bring incense!" ”
It's a bit of a distance from where I hid the casting materials, and it would be a toss if I came back in the past. I waited for a while, but Xiaobai still didn't come out, I couldn't, so I could only walk on my tired legs to pick up the spell casting materials that I hid on the mountain last time, and then come back and light the three-pillar incense under the crooked neck tree.
This time Xiaobai finally came out, but I still didn't see her, I only heard her voice: "People just lay down to rest, and you came to disturb me, did you mean it?" ”
I said dissatisfiedly, "Of course I came to you for something, can't you come out to see me sooner?" "Now that 'evil baby' is eyeing us, I will deal with it later, Xiao Hei and Fan Ruru will have a moment of risk, I naturally hope to see Xiao Bai earlier.
"In such a hurry? I just saw it in the afternoon, and I'm looking for it now. Xiaobai's voice was a little teasing, "Do you miss my sister?" ”
Miss you big-headed ghost! I said secretly. Xu was a little more familiar with her, and her words were less scruples than at the beginning. But thinking about the first time we met, she was still *, and now these unscrupulous words and deeds are nothing at all.
"Xiaobai, take me to dig up antiques!" I didn't want to laugh with her, and I directly explained my intention.
"Antiques? Right now? ”
I nodded, "Yes." ”
"Last time I said I would take you to dig, but you said you didn't want to, why are you suddenly in such a hurry now?"
"Now that I'm in dire need of money, didn't you say there's an ancient tomb around here? Take me there! ”
"Well, since you asked, I'll take you to dig. But the tomb is not far away, it is at your feet. ”
I looked down at the sturdy ground under my feet and frowned, "Right down there?" So how do I get in? ”
"I use that tomb as a resting place, and of course it's here. If you want to get in, it's easy, you go ten steps to the right, and then seven steps to the left, and you will see a small cave..."
"The cave leads to the tomb?"
"No! I mean, there's a shovel in the cave, and you can come over with a shovel and dig down where you're standing, and dig until dawn, and you'll probably be able to dig to the tomb! ”
"Dig until dawn? I felt my hands and feet a little weak, "Sister, do you have a way to save a little effort, I haven't eaten dinner, and now I'm hungry and tired, and I guess I'm already exhausted before I dig the grave!" ”
