Chapter 27: Finding Clues
After all, this ebony is an extremely rare thing, as long as the yin qi is removed, it is the best thing to ward off evil spirits.
The sword in the hands of the ancient corpse is also a good thing, and he was almost killed by this ancient corpse, so he didn't need to talk to him about morality, take out the sword Zhou Qiao and Yang Gan returned to it to join the incompetent and fat brother, and I don't know what happened to the fat brother......
It's a pity, I'm afraid that the rumored Buddha bone relics are not in this ancient tomb, and it is unknown what the group of people are looking for in this ancient tomb.
Back in the secret room, the fat brother has woken up, and it seems that the coffin fungus is still effective
"Fat brother, how are you, are you better?" Zhou Qiao hurriedly asked with concern.
The fat brother sighed, "It's okay now...... But...... The lama's spell hasn't been lifted yet? ”
Saying that, he took off his shirt, and Zhou Qiao saw that there was a blood-red curse mark on the fat brother's chest, which was oval-shaped, and there were dense lines in the middle, like a certain pattern, and like a certain symbol, revealing a mysterious taste
"This lama is really vicious!" Yang Qian scolded angrily
"I have already tried to suppress it with bodhichitta method, but unfortunately it has not had much effect, and I still need to find a way to solve the mantra as soon as possible" The incompetent monk sighed, unable to do anything.
"I thought that if I gave the fat brother a coffin fungus, he would recover quickly, but I didn't expect this lama's spell to be so powerful, alas, ......" Zhou Qiao shook his head helplessly.
"But don't worry, with the effect of this coffin fungus, I won't be fine for the time being, let's get out of this hellish place first, and then think about it in the long run when we go back," the fat brother comforted.
"Everything has a way to restrain it, but some things are lost, since the lama understands this evil mantra, there will definitely be a way to break it, we just need to be patient to find it" incompetent monk analysis
Zhou Qiao nodded: "Well, don't give up hope at any time, there will always be a solution." ”
Then everyone left the ancient tomb and returned to the foot of the mountain along the Nanga Bhava Peak under the leadership of Zhou Qiao, and the wind and waves were calm along the way, without encountering any danger.
"Let's find a place to rest in the nearby Tibetan area first, and then we will continue our journey tomorrow." Zhou Qiao suggested
"Okay, I'm tired." Yang Qian agreed
The fat brother didn't have any opinion, because he was too seriously injured, and now his body is weak and needs to be recuperated.
Several people found a Tibetan home nearby and moved in.
The conditions of this Tibetan family are quite good, although they are not wealthy, they are relatively clean and tidy, and most of the Tibetans are hospitable and friendly to the Han people.
"Brother Dorjee, the Tibetan area on your side has beautiful scenery and good air quality, so it should be a tourist attraction, right?" The fat brother asked with a smile
"Hahaha, yes, our Tibetan area here is really good, and we have a lot of Tibetan specialties here," Dorjee replied happily
"Oh? What are the specialties? The fat brother asked with interest
"We have a lot of saffron, wild gastrodia, snow lotus, cordyceps sinensis and other precious medicinal herbs, and the food is mutton and yak meat..."
After Yang Gan heard this, his eyes lit up: "Yak meat, mutton, I like to eat it, and those precious medicinal materials are all natural good things, Brother Zhou, let's take some back."
Yang Qian's goods, eating, drinking and having fun, especially love Taobao.
"Brother Dorjee, where can we buy these things you said?"
Dorjee scratched his head shyly and smiled innocently: "Actually~ Actually, I also have these things at home, but there are not many, I don't know if you mind?" ”
"Brother Dorjee, you are too polite, how can we dislike it?" Yang Qian said excitedly.
Dorjee smiled shyly, turned around and went to the room and took out two bamboo baskets and walked in front of everyone: "These are freshly picked medicinal herbs and freshly made yak meat, drag your blessings, I don't have to go to the town to sell them anymore"
Zhou Qiao's eyes lit up when he saw all kinds of herbs and fresh yak meat mixed with soil, these medicinal materials are full of quality, they are completely natural and good, Zhou Qiao looked at Dorjee gratefully, the Tibetans here are simple and kind, which makes people respect.
Zhou Qiao paid for these things to pack them in a cloth bag, and then chatted with Dorjee over dinner, Dorjee was very talkative, straightforward and enthusiastic, and amused everyone from time to time.
After eating and drinking, they washed themselves and went to bed.
Before leaving the next day, Dorjee gave everyone a hada (hada, meaning auspicious and blessed in Chinese), and after everyone accepted it, they said goodbye to Dorjee and embarked on the road back to their hometown.
The incompetent monk and the fat brother broke up with Zhou Qiao and Yang Qian at the station, and the four of them planned to divide into two ways, and the fat brother followed the incompetent to find out if his master had a solution, that is, he could suppress one or two without his master's cultivation, which is a relatively safe way at present.
Zhou Qiao and Yang Qian returned to the land of Xiangxi to find relevant methods, Xiangxi has many capable people, there are also various magical herbs, and one of its most mysterious witchcraft.
Zhou Qiao had seen some methods of witchcraft in the notes left by his great-grandfather, but it was too mysterious to understand the meaning so far, but Zhou Qiao felt that maybe witchcraft could solve the spell left by the lama.
That's why I want to go back to my hometown to find someone who knows witchcraft.
After Zhou Qiao arrived in Xiangxi, he did not return to the Yiguan, but took Zhou Qiao to a Tujia residence in Guzhang, which was an old woman who knew her grandfather before her death, and the old woman came to worship her grandfather when she last met or when her grandfather died
I haven't seen this for years.
The Tujia family that Zhou Qiao and Yang Qian are going to can only speak Tujia now, and most of them are wearing unique Tujia clothes, Zhou Qian asked people for directions in jerky Tujia language, and it took a long time to find the old woman's residence.
The old woman's surname is Li, she is an old man over eighty years old, her hair is gray, her face is full of wrinkles, but her eyes are bright, she looks very shrewd, and I heard my grandfather once mention that this old woman seems to have a martial arts background
"Granny Li, are you okay?"
"Zhou family boy, long time no see, do you remember me? Hehe, you're so old."
"Hmm... Granny Li, do you remember my grandfather? It's been years since my grandfather died."
"Alas~ Your grandfather's health is not good, and he left suddenly, and I didn't even have a chance to talk to him." Granny Li sighed
"Granny Li, this time I came to ask you to do me a favor, I met an evil lama in the Tibetan area who gave a vicious spell to my friend, I thought about it and thought that maybe someone who understands witchcraft can solve it, I know that you are proficient in witchcraft, so I took the liberty to ask for your help" Zhou Qiao earnestly
"Alas-how profound the witchcraft is, I only know a little about the skin, the powerful witchcraft has long been broken, and I can't do anything about the situation you said......"
"But...... There is a book on witchcraft in Wumen, which is lost in Xiangxi...... If you can find ...... There should be a spell on it that broke the spell," Granny Li sighed
"Are there really witchcraft books?!" Zhou Qiao was surprised
"Of course! There is a witchcraft in that book called 'Blood Curse', which is a forbidden witchcraft in Miao Jiang, only the wizards and Miao Jiang Holy Maidens who have been in charge of Gu poison for generations know that the blood spell should be the same principle as the spell in your friend, and there should be a solution written in the book, as long as you learn to solve the blood curse, you can help your friend solve the curse" Granny Li said
"Thank you, Granny Li, I will remember this kindness"
Zhou Qiao solemnly bowed to Granny Li and thanked him,
Immediately, Zhou Qiao said goodbye and left Granny Li's house with Yang Gan.
"Brother Zhou, who is this Granny Li? She even knows witchcraft? ”
Zhou Qiao Zhengse said: "This Granny Li is the witch doctor in Xiangxi, and the only witch doctor in Xiangxi, she is very respected in this land, I have heard my grandfather say that she knows witchcraft and knows some ways to solve spells."
"I see"
Yang Qian nodded thoughtfully.
