Chapter 91: Conditional Exchange
Wu Taishou took Chen Jingzhi's expression into his eyes, and the sudden look on the young man's face disappeared in an instant, and he returned to a calm posture.
Chen Jingzhi asked, "Since it doesn't matter, then dare to ask Taishou for personal favors." ”
"Hehe, although it doesn't matter, but after all, it has ruined my Wu family's reputation, and what other people want to do, the old man doesn't want to pay more attention to it. ”
"If there is something that the boy needs to do, the boy will do his best. ”
"Do your best, just do your best?" Mrs. Wu looked at Chen Jingzhi and wondered.
"Meng Chengguang once helped me once, I have come to ask Taishou, it is considered to be a favor, I also gave his life before, everything is settled, if you can't save him today, there is no regret. ”
"Hehe, it turns out that he is not worthy of Chen Shaolang's best efforts. Wu Taishou retracted his gaze and said, "If you want me to come forward for you, it's okay, if you can do something for me, I will personally release them, and I will no longer embarrass them in the future." ”
"Dare to ask what's the matter?"
Wu Taishou said quite confidently, "Old man knows that you are a little fox, this matter is not too difficult, I think you should be able to do it." ”
"Then please tell me clearly. ”
Wu Taishou said, "But you have to swear not to leak it out." ”
"What's so difficult about this?" Chen Jingzhi vowed at the moment that he would never leak this matter.
Wu Taishou was a little relieved at this time, he was also a cultivator, and vows and the like were not something that could be made at will, especially for cultivators. Only then did he say, "Chen Shaolang, please sit down, and I'll talk to you slowly." ”
Chen Jingzhi couldn't help but curse "old fox", but he still sat down calmly.
"Out of the city and straight east, there is a Beacon Hill, where a mountain god sits. What I want you to do is on Beacon Mountain, there is a low mountain on the east side of the main mountain, and there is a treasure cave in the mountain, you go straight along the cave and find a treasure box for me, as long as you find the treasure box and come back, I will naturally speak for you. ”
Chen Jingzhi said with a smile, "Taishou is an important minister of the country, Taishou gave an order, I don't know how many people are willing to do this for Taishou, not to mention Yinghua Dao Palace, even the worship in Taishou's mansion will do their best to do it, why would Taishou believe me?"
"Chen Shaolang, they are them, the old man is the old man, as for why I believe in you, it is because I believe in myself. Wu Taishou smiled and said, "You don't have to ask about the rest, I believe you can find the treasure box, in fact, even if you can't find it, I won't blame you, I have a way to make you forget about it." ”
Wu Taishou was confident, and he didn't seem to be worried that Chen Jingzhi would leak out at all.
"It's a bit dangerous, but I think you're good enough to deal with it. Wu Taishou actually had a certain understanding of Chen Jingzhi's methods, and he could be sure that the other party was also a cultivator, but when Chen Jingzhi entered the mansion, no one in the mansion knew that there was a cultivator here, and if they knew, they would definitely come to report immediately, after all, every cultivator who didn't know the details could threaten him.
"If others go to Baojing Cave, they will definitely be known by the mountain god, but if you go to the mountain god, you should only think of you as an explorer. ”
"Then please tell me about that place, and I'll be prepared. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Chen Shaolang listened. Wu Taishou immediately told him the specific situation of Baojing Cave and Beacon Mountain, and he secretly sent many people to investigate over the years, but there were no actual results.
Chen Jingzhi nodded slightly after listening, he guessed in his heart that what Wu Taishou did should not be allowed by Yinghua Dao Palace, so he was unwilling to let people related to Dao Palace do it. After that, after Chen Jingzhi talked and understood in detail, he left the Wu Mansion, but when he came out, he saw Meng Chengguang who was scarred and depressed.
Meng Chengguang didn't expect Chen Jingzhi to be there, his eyes were dodgy, and he couldn't wait to get into the cracks.
"Little Meng Gongzi, is this a fall and a dog eats?" Chen Jingzhi said with a smile.
Meng Chengguang was said by this, and instantly came to his senses, "You just eat, it's really a dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, I'm very good." After saying that, his face turned red, that, "I'm hungry, hurry up and take me something to eat." ”
Chen Jingzhi sneered a few times, ignored him, and walked back quickly.
"Hey, dead cow nose, stinky cow nose, what's the spirit?" Meng Chengguang also felt a little weak when he scolded, and he was weak after being hungry for a day, and he couldn't keep up. When he returned to the rented place, Meng Zhaoxing was standing at the door, and he immediately lowered his head, "I'm a little hungry, go wash up first." ”
Meng Zhaoxing didn't mean to get used to him this time, he grabbed him and scolded, "How can you claim to outsiders that you are a disciple of Daochang Chen, how much trouble will you cause Daochang Chen in the future?" ”
"What? I didn't, I just thought that if I said you were my brother, then they would be looking for you, and your body would be gone with two broken bones. Thinking about it, only Chen Daochang has good means and high moral character, he will definitely not blame me, and he will definitely come to save me. ”
"Look, isn't Daochang Chen coming? and fished me out. ”
"He also dares to speak wittily and does not repent. Meng Zhaoxing was furious in his heart, "Hurting others and hurting yourself, you are really ashamed of the teachings of your parents and relatives." After speaking, he pressed him to the ground, "You kneel until the Taoist chief forgives you." ”
Chen Jingzhi didn't have any expectations for Meng Chengguang, so he didn't care much about Meng Chengguang at all. At this time, he carefully prepared to go to Beacon Mountain according to Wu Taishou's information, and even found records of the county government, but he did not find any useful news from it.
Baojing Cave was originally not known, but more than 100 years ago, there was a person who went out to herd cattle, and someone saw him appear near Baojing Cave, but then suddenly even the cow and the person disappeared, and then disappeared, and many searches were fruitless. But a few years later, a woodcutter accidentally broke into the cave, saw the bones of a man and a cow below, and hurriedly ran out of the cave in fright, and the cave has not been known to the world since then.
Baojing Cave has five floors, a natural cave, but it is ventilated and dry inside, but it is not suitable for human habitation. After that, there were rumors that Baojing Cave is the mountain god cave house, you can not break into it at will, and over time everyone thought that it was the mountain god cave house, so they set up the god card and built a shrine.
Chen Jingzhi connected everything, and didn't notice anything worthy of excessive attention. I went to buy a lot of food and water that day, and brought some important things, talked to Yang Tingqing, and went to Beacon Hill alone.
Beacon Hill is not far away, and it does look like a beacon from a distance, but the names of such peaks are everywhere. Chen Jingzhi went to the foot of the mountain and used the method of looking at qi, and found that there were indeed gods living on the mountain. At this time, he pretended to be an adventurous scholar, carrying things around Beacon Peak.
There is indeed a mountain god sitting on the main peak of Bijia Peak, and this mountain god has turned this place into a dojo before Baojing Cave was born, and the original incense was still at its peak. But since the rumor spread that Baojing Cave is the cave of the mountain god, the palace here in Bijia Peak has gradually become less and less crowded.
After Chen Jingzhi swam around, he only saw a few servants and children looking at the pipe courtyard, but did not see any cultivators. That night, I stayed in the guest house of the Beacon Mountain Shinto Temple for one night, which was very quiet, because there were not many people who usually came here, and the old man who cleaned the courtyard pulled Chen Jingzhi and said a lot of words.
When he was about to go to Baojing Cave the next day, the old man grabbed Chen Jingzhi and said, "Young man, if you go to Baojing Cave, don't go, there is nothing to see there, maybe there are still a lot of dangers." ”
"Uncle, why can't you go, where does the danger come from, isn't it also under the jurisdiction of the mountain god?"
The old man sighed and sighed, "There are places that the mountain god can't control, and it's not a place where you should go, so let's go." After the old man said this, he was a little lonely, and continued to persuade, "Listen to my advice, hurry down the mountain, you are still young." ”
Chen Jingzhi said with a smile, "Thank you for reminding me, but don't worry, I have been exploring for several years, I know the measure, and I will retreat immediately when I see the opportunity is wrong." Chen Jingzhi bowed deeply and walked in the direction of Baojing Cave.
The old man shook his head and said with a broom, "The good rider falls from the horse, the good water drowns, the good drinker gets drunk, and the good fighter dies to kill." ”
Chen Jingzhi saw that there was also a three-zhang high shrine near Baojing Cave, which was full of red threads and red silk, all kinds of yellow paper for blessings, and many believers and pilgrims knelt down to the mountain god there. Chen Jingzhi glanced at Baojing Cave, there are two entrances here, one entrance is close to the top of the mountain, where the woodcutter broke in, and the entrance in front of him is the place where the cattle herd disappeared, and it is also the third layer of Baojing Cave.
In front of the entrance of the cave, several tall men guarded it, and they collected money from those who went to worship the gods in the cave. Originally, there was no big platform here, only a small shrine, and later their ancestors built a small square, and then they regarded this place as a place to make a fortune, and ordered people to guard it for a fee.
Chen Jingzhi paid ten incense money, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw eight big characters, and he could enter this door, and life and death were up to heaven. Chen Jingzhi smiled and walked in calmly. When he entered, he found that it was a natural cave, dimly lit, dry, and windless, but it made people feel cool. However, the atmosphere here is actually very turbid, and if ordinary people come in, they will definitely be dizzy and short of breath for an hour, and in severe cases, they may even die.
