Chapter 12: It's Hard
At sunset, the last touch of sunset is also hidden in the mountains at the end of the sky.
The day passed like this, but Wang Yuanze was also full of wine and food, and had a sense of happiness that came from bitterness.
What happened today was richer and more exciting than what he had encountered in his previous life in the past twenty years or so combined, and he was in danger for the time being, but he still had to be fully prepared, and he decided to sort out some of the useful trophies left behind by the Seven Evils first in case of accidents.
Therefore, after the sun set, he asked Mingyue to make himself a pot of tea, sat in the room where Su Xiaolian slept at the beginning, and looked through and sorted out all the items that he thought were useful from the Qinghuang Qisha today.
A few paper talismans, with different colors, with the memories left by the gentleman, these paper talismans are just common types on the rivers and lakes, namely hemostatic talismans, pure heart talismans, and divine talismans.
This kind of thing is spread from some sects that cultivate true qi and practice qi, but these are low-grade goods, and there are five thunder talismans and talismans in Zhennan Houfu, and those are even more powerful.
But whether it is the palace or the talisman used by the people in the rivers and lakes, it is garbage in the eyes of the real immortal gate, and the real immortal talisman cannot be used for you, and it needs to be urged by the mana of the immortal family.
These talismans are completely different from those ghost painting talismans on the earth that are used to ward off evil spirits and seek comfort in their hearts, they have a variety of magical functions, and the production methods are also kept secret, rune paper, runes, pen and ink, runes are exquisite, I heard that many rare monster bones and blood and magical materials are used, and rune paper should also be made in a special way, and it is by no means ordinary yellow paper.
Just like the Qingxin talisman that Su Xiaolian gave him, although it didn't work, Wang Yuanze had his own experience, and after pressing it on the door of his head, he instantly had the effect of cooling his whole body and sobering his soul, so it must have an effect, and the reason why it didn't work was because Wuyazi was an immortal, and the effect of the rune paper was too weak to be stopped.
And during the meal, Wang Yuanze also asked the four boys, after he fainted yesterday, Qisha also used a hemostatic charm to stop the bleeding for himself in time, so that he didn't die, otherwise if the blood ran out and crossed a hundred times, he wouldn't survive.
Therefore, these pieces of rune paper were carefully put away by Wang Yuanze.
Garbage is garbage, but it can save lives in a pinch.
There are many medicines left, there are healing, insect repellent, ecstasy incense, etc., especially among them, there is a kind of black jade intermittent ointment, which is a famous medicine for healing, the price is not cheap, it is said that many rare medicinal materials are used in many deep mountains and old forests, a bottle costs at least a hundred taels of silver, and it is definitely a thing used to protect life by walking the rivers and lakes.
In short, there are a lot of messy things, many of which Wang Yuanze doesn't know, but in view of the nature and attributes of Qisha's work, since he stays around, he won't be a garbage thing, and he may be able to use it in the future.
After cleaning up, there are still a few strange amulets or pendants made of animal teeth and animal bones, as well as a few wrenches and rings in good condition, all of which were taken off from Qisha's body, if they were placed on the earth where they once lived, these are estimated to be worth tens of millions of yuan, but at the moment Wang Yuanze can't look down on them, put them together and wait for a few days to go down the mountain and find a place to sell them for money.
In the end, only a palm-sized animal skin pocket remained.
This pocket Wang Yuanze clearly remembered that it was searched from the body of the Great Evil Horse Xiaotian.
The pocket was covered with delicate runes, and Wang Yuanze didn't know any of them, and the mouth of the bag was tied with a bright red rope, but this rope was not silky, but like an extremely tough beast tendon.
The pockets are very deflated, light and fluttering, when Wang Yuanze pinched it in his hand and watched, there was always a feeling of soul throbbing, just like the feeling when he first entered the patriarch's cave, as if there was also a fairy family formation in his pocket.
After hesitating for a long time, Wang Yuanze still opened his pocket, shook it a few times and found that it was empty, and sure enough, there was nothing.
Generally speaking, although there are a lot of things left by Qisha, only this one may be a treasure, maybe it has something to do with the immortal family, so after watching it repeatedly for a long time, Wang Yuanze put the small pocket in his sleeve pocket and put it away, planning to ask after Yu Wuya sobered up.
After tidying up, it was completely dark outside the window, and Wang Yuanze also blew the lamp and pulled out the wax and went to bed.
......
Nothing was said all night.
I woke up to another crisp sunny morning.
After getting up and having breakfast, Wang Yuanze called the four little Taoist boys over to prepare, and took the sword and the medicine to repel insects and snakes to Nanshan together.
Today, he planned to go to the old Taoist priest to learn more about the current situation and history of Qinghe Temple.
Moreover, if the Qinghe faction wants to develop, it must also have a knowledgeable person to help guide it.
After all, he is the head of this place, although he is a bitter back-handed leader, but this place will become the starting point for his own immortal cultivation, so he still has to plan and arrange it well.
The distance from the Taoist temple to the southern slope where the old Taoist priest was imprisoned is not far, but you can't go straight through, but you need to go around a large circle along the top of the mountain, which has to pass through many collapsed buildings.
And this road is hardly walked on weekdays, and the Seven Evils locked the old Taoist priest there to fend for himself, sometimes going to see it for several months, throwing some rice and noodles for him to cook and eat.
Therefore, the road was almost completely occupied by weeds and thorns, and the mountain road was steep and narrow, so they could only carefully use their swords to slowly open the way along the way, but fortunately, the four Taoist children still knew the road, and after almost an hour, the five people were tired and sweaty and finally walked to a fairly flat place on the southern slope.
A dilapidated house with collapsed walls supported by wood and thatched.
However, the surroundings look quite neat and clean, there are few thorns and weeds, and it is obvious that people often clean up, and dried vegetables and fruits are dried in front of and behind the house.
Seeing this situation, Wang Yuanze breathed a sigh of relief, at least indicating that the old Taoist priest was still alive.
"Daoist Niu, open the door quickly, the head has come to see you!"
Qingfeng Mingyue shouted in front of the hut, and only after a long time did he hear a squeak, and an old Taoist priest wearing tattered Taoist clothes and snow-white hair came out with his body down.
"Hey, it's you four little rabbit cubs!" The old Taoist priest walked tremblingly, his eyes were cloudy, and it took him a long time to see the four Taoist children clearly.
"Daoist Niu, come and meet the master!" Qingfeng stepped forward and grabbed the old Taoist's arm and dragged him over to Wang Yuanze.
"Qingfeng must not be rude!" Wang Yuanze hurriedly waved his hand to stop, strode up to the old Taoist priest and saluted and said, "The junior Wang Yuanze, who is now the head of the Qinghe faction, has come to invite the chief of the Niu Dao to go up the mountain to discuss the matter of rebuilding the Qinghe faction!"
"You...... What are you talking about?Rebuild the Qinghe Sect?" the old Taoist priest thought he hadn't heard clearly.
"Yes, rebuild the Qinghe faction!" Wang Yuanze nodded seriously.
"Could it be...... Could it be that you entered the ancestral cave in the back mountain and came out alive? No, no, the Qinghuang Seven Evils are all evil bandits, how could they really let you be the master, could it be that they let you lie to me again......" The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, shook his head again and again, turned around and prepared to go back.
Six of the seven elders were killed by the head of the sect with a fairy thunder yesterday in the patriarch cave of the back mountain, and the seven elders have also fled down the mountain, and now there are only a few of us on the mountain, and the head of the sect came out of the patriarch cave alive, and naturally got the approval of the patriarch of the Qinghe faction, and now he is the real head of the Qinghe faction, you dare to doubt the master, you just don't want to live!" Liuyun grabbed the old Taoist's arm and scolded loudly.
The old Taoist priest was stunned.
"Niu Daochang, Daotong is right, yesterday I got the manifestation of the Wuyazi Patriarch from the Patriarch's Cave, and used a fairy thunder to chop the Six Evils to death and then fell off the cliff, the Seven Evils Su Xiaolian because of the heart of change, the Patriarch spared her life and let her go down the mountain, and now there are only a few of us left on the mountain, the Wuyazi Patriarch sent a decree to let me take over as the head of the sect and reorganize the Qinghe faction, I specially came to ask the Taoist to go up the mountain to discuss!"
Originally, Wuyazi returned ten years ago and the Qinghe faction fell into the ancestral cave, and the old Taoist priest of the colorful glow had seen it with his own eyes, and now he heard Wang Yuanze say such a matter-of-fact matter, plus he did hear the explosion in the back mountain yesterday, and Wang Yuanze even said the Tao number of Wuyazi, so he believed it instantly, and after a short period of distraction, he lost his temper in an instant, and the old tears knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the direction of the back mountain and cried:
"The Qinghe faction is listed as the patriarch, and the unworthy disciple Niu Changming has finally waited for this day, since the ancestor has appeared and passed on, the disciple must abide by the patriarch's decree, and assist the new head to rebuild the Qinghe faction and carry forward the Qinghe faction!"
After kowtowing, the old Taoist priest got up and patted the dirt on his body without hesitation, wiped his tears and happily ran into the room to pack a small package and carry it on his back, and also carried a rusty sword out.
"Master, let's go up the mountain, the ancestor will appear to eradicate the wicked, we must go to the ancestor cave and Taiyi Hall to burn incense and thank you, and there are still some things I want to hand over to the master, and the matter of rebuilding the Taoist temple also needs to be considered in the long run!"
At this time, the old Taoist priest instantly seemed to be reborn, his legs were no longer shaking, his eyes were not dazzled, and he was ready to leave with Wang Yuanze in his arms.
"Niu Dao is not in a hurry, it's still early now, do you want to rest before leaving!"
"What are you resting, although the old Taoist is old, his legs and feet are quite neat, and the four or five miles of mountain roads are nothing!" the old Taoist priest urged.
Wang Yuanze smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, you are not tired, we are tired, and my legs are still trembling when I just walked here, but seeing the old Taoist's eagerness, Wang Yuanze had no choice but to hurry up with the four little Taoist boys to go back with the old Taoist.
"Nima, why do Taoist priests want to build the mountain gate on such a steep mountain, it's just not for people to live!"
