The original soul is no bigger than the real thing, only about an inch in size. The oil lamp on the old man's head is very similar to the oil lamp used by ordinary people, but there are also slight differences. Ordinary oil lamps are made of pottery bowls, which contain oil and have a built-in wick. The oil lamp on the old man's head is made of white jade, without a wick. There is only a bean-sized faint blue light above the jade lamp.
Seeing Nan Feng standing with a frown on his face, the fat man raised his hand to touch him, "What are you thinking about? Come in quickly."
Nanfeng felt this, tilted his head and glanced at the fat man, and found an excuse to delay, "I haven't decided what to exchange for it yet."
"You don't have to think about it. Of course I want what you want." Zhuge Chanjuan said. Back then, the three of them had talked about the Jinding Temple in the cave where Gao Ping lived. At that time, Nanfeng once said that if the Jinding Temple was really that magical, , and asked them to help find tortoise shells.
Nanfeng nodded, took the bag from the fat man's hand, crossed the threshold and entered the small temple.
After taking a few steps, the temple door was closed by the officers and soldiers outside.
Nanfeng heard the sound of the door closing, but did not look back. Instead, he looked intently at the old man who was sweeping the floor. The hunchbacked old man did not stop what he was doing because of his arrival, and was still waving the broom unhurriedly.
Judging from the appearance of the old man, he must be seventy or eighty years old. His face is covered with wrinkles, and there is dirt between his fingernails. His breathing is also very heavy, and there is no aura around him. If it weren't for the oil lamp on his head, his soul would be with him. Ordinary old blind people are no different.
At this time, the door of the main hall is also open. You can see that there is a statue of the Earth God enshrined inside. The door of the west wing is also open. There is a pot stove inside, and there is hot steam coming out of the pot. You can smell it carefully. , is the smell of rice porridge.
No details were found, so Nanfeng once again shifted his gaze to the oil lamp above the old man's head. The light spot on the oil lamp was only the size of a pea, and the blue light it emitted was thick and restrained, not bright and dazzling.
There were no clues in the blue light, so he looked at the jade cup under the blue light again. After a closer look, he finally discovered something unusual. Although the jade cup was in the shape of a cup, the edge of the mouth of the cup was not round, but had a slightly irregular shape. Distinct petal-shaped bulges.
Upon discovering this detail, Nanfeng suddenly realized that the old man was not an immortal from an oil lamp, but a fairy from the mortal family. The natal soul on his head was not an oil lamp, but a little spiritual light supported by the lotus throne.
Immortals who have achieved Taoism and ascended cannot enjoy eternal life once and for all. Heavenly immortals will experience tribulations again for thousands of years, golden immortals for ten thousand years, and Daluo golden immortals for 100,000 years. If they cannot successfully overcome the tribulations, they will be demoted to earth to practice again.
In addition, some immortals are not very satisfied with the immortality they have certified, and may take the initiative to request to come down to earth and practice all over again.
This hunchbacked blind old man is undoubtedly a god who has come to earth. As for his motivation for coming to earth, it is unknown. However, judging from this person's situation, this person should have failed in his descent to earth, because although he has spiritual light, he has no spiritual energy cultivation. for.
However, there is still one doubt at the moment, that is, it is impossible to determine whether this person was a god or an immortal before he came to earth. Therefore, it is impossible to judge the origin of this person just by looking at the aura on his head.
Just as Nanfeng frowned and looked sideways, the blind old man spoke, "Have you brought the gold?"
"Three thousand taels, just more." Nanfeng replied calmly.
"Put it in the cauldron." The blind old man continued to wave the broom.
After Nanfeng heard this, he walked to the middle of the yard. There was a three-legged cauldron. It was as tall as two people and about the thickness of an arm. It was red-yellow in color and had an ancient style. There was an arched incense mouth in the middle of the cauldron, but the shape of the cauldron was There is no incense ash inside, so it is obvious that it is used to hold gold.
The incense mouth is not big, and the cloth bag cannot be stuffed into it. The gold in the cloth bag can only be poured in. After the first bag was poured out, the cauldron did not respond. When the second bag was about to be poured out, the cauldron made a buzzing sound similar to a bell. Ming.
"That's enough, wait until I get you some pen and ink." The blind old man put down his broom, turned around and walked towards the west wing.
The blind old man walked very fast, but this did not mean that he could see clearly. He may have lived here for many years and already knew the situation in the small temple well.
Not long after, the old man came back with pen and ink. He said it was pen and ink, but it was not real ink, but cinnabar that had been mixed and reserved in advance.
This cinnabar must be mixed with gold powder, and the handwriting is red, yellow, solemn, and golden.
After Nanfeng finished writing, the old man took the study back and said, "Come back tomorrow."
"Thank you." Nanfeng raised his hand to the old man.
Out of the temple gate, Fatty and others were waiting eagerly.
"Is it done?" Zhuge Chanjuan's temper was even more impatient than the fat man's.
Nan Feng nodded.
"Haha, look at what they do in this business," the fat man pointed at the bag in Nanfeng's hand and said with a smile, "You are so innocent and you still get change."
"Brother Six, what do you ask for?" Li Li asked curiously.
Before Nanfeng could answer, the fat man slapped Mo Li on the back of the head, "Little boy, why are you asking so many questions?"
"When we meet eldest brother, I'll tell him you beat me." Mo Li looked at the fat man.
"Haha, it doesn't work. He can't beat me now, hahahaha." The fat man laughed proudly.
Staying far away from the temple gate, Nanfeng looked towards the city to the east and said, "Let's go into the city."
"You go ahead, I won't go." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
Nanfeng frowned when he heard the sound, and Zhuge Chanjuan explained, "It's not appropriate for outsiders to meet you brothers. Besides, the things dug out last night still need to be sorted and sorted. I'm afraid a lot of money will be used tomorrow, and some jewelry still needs to be sorted out." I have to go to the city and exchange it for gold."
Nanfeng thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. The little brother hasn't eaten yet, so remember to bring him some food."
"You don't have to worry about it, go ahead." Zhuge Chanjuan waved her hand.
"Sixth brother is so lucky. My sister-in-law is not only good-looking, but also considerate and knowledgeable." Moli said to Nanfeng.
Zhuge Chanjuan smiled happily, and Nanfeng glanced at her. It looked good, but it was true. The general knowledge was irrelevant. The true knowledge of the general body would have caused Yuan Anning, who would have been harmless back then, to lose one of her hands.
"Little thing," the fat man patted Mo Li on the head again, "If you don't flatter her, she will treat your legs."
Since he was going to the city to meet friends, the fat man didn't take the pair of hammers. When he went to the master's door, the fat man asked, "How much gold do you think they want from us?"
Nanfeng knew that the fat man was referring to Jinding Temple, so he said casually, "There shouldn't be many."
"Huh?" The fat man tilted his head in confusion.
"I didn't ask them to help find the Book of Heaven," Nanfeng said.
The fat man was very surprised when he heard this, "Then what did you ask them to do?"
"I asked them a question." Nanfeng said. After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two to ask, he took the initiative and said, "I want to know who assigned the nine aliens who appeared in Li Chaozong's courtyard."
"Three thousand taels, that's what you asked?" The fat man grinned.
"Three thousand taels is just the money to enter the temple. If you ask people questions, you have to pay extra." Nanfeng said with a smile.
"This is more expensive than the annual incense burning at Foguang Temple," the fat man grinned sadly, "Even if you didn't find the money, you can't do this."
Mo Li interrupted from the side, "Brother Six, why do you ask this?"
"I want to know who the Taiqing Sect's backer is," Nanfeng replied. After speaking, he looked at the fat man, "This question has troubled me for a long time. Taiqing Sect and Li Chaozong wear the same pair of trousers. To be fair, I feel that the Taiqing Sect They looked down on Li Chaozong, but Taiqingzong gave his Taixuan Scripture to Li Chaozong. Even if he didn't give all of it, he also gave him the method of practicing Qi. Xuanqing Xuanjing definitely didn't want to do this, but they did Naturally, we received instructions from the higher-ups to do this. In addition, the temple we found in the dense forest at the junction of Yu County and Ju County was guarded by a wolf demon. The wolf demon had found the palace and killed Big Eyes in the early years. family, and this wolf demon also taught the Taiqing Talisman. This was naturally what the person behind the scenes instructed Xuanqing Xuanjing to do. Furthermore, not long ago in Chang'an, the nine aliens appeared again to help Li Chaozong. Therefore, I suspect that the wolf demon and the nine aliens, as well as Li Chaozong and Xuanqing Xuanjing, all obey the orders of the same person. What I want to know is who this person is."
Nanfeng finished speaking in one breath. The fat man needed to digest and understand. After a moment, he came back to his senses and said, "You want to know who the opponent with big eyes is?"
"Yes." Nanfeng nodded sternly, "Today we still don't know what happened above. We need to find out as soon as possible."
"Who do you think this person is?" the fat man asked.
Nanfeng shook his head, "If I knew, I would have paid to ask someone else, but I feel that this person has a great background. After the dust settled on the search for the Heavenly Book, you and Zhuge Chanjuan went back first, and Ba Ye and I followed the dragon vein. Searching to the north, I found traces of fights between different species in the second and third places where the Book of Heaven was stored. At that time, I was still wondering who got the two pieces of tortoise shell. Now it seems that at least one piece was taken by that person. The aliens sent by the mastermind behind the scenes took it away, and this piece of tortoise shell should have been given to Li Chaozong by the mastermind behind the scenes."
"Why do you say that?" the fat man asked.
"Because after I was caught by them, Li Chaozong tried to make a deal with me. I asked him if he had any clue about the Book of Heaven. He said he had a little bit, which means he had a piece of tortoise shell in his hand." Nanfeng said that that day he He and Li Chaozong both tried to show sincerity, but in the end the talks broke down.
"Don't worry, let's figure it out again," the fat man looked at Nanfeng, "We have five pieces ourselves, right?"
Nanfeng nodded, "Yes, one, five, six, seventy-nine. Eight let Shangqing Sect get it, and Yan Feixue also gave it to me. In fact, we have six pieces in our hands now, and two, three, and four are left. Four is The piece of Heavenly Book that was originally hidden in Taiwu Mountain was obtained by Long Yunzi of Yuqing Sect. The piece he obtained should also be ours, the piece engraved on the bell of the ruined temple. In this way. There are still two or three pieces left, one of these two pieces is in Li Chaozong's hands, and the whereabouts of the last piece are unknown."
"You're so smart, I can't even remember it," the fat man waved his hands impatiently, "According to what you said, the person behind the scenes must be very powerful. Just such a small ruined temple, how old is he to know this? ?”
"How do you know that the little temple has no origin?" Nanfeng said casually. Although the hunchbacked old man has no spiritual energy cultivation, he has spiritual light. This person is responsible for guarding the Jinding Temple. He must have been sent by someone. He has never been in contact with him before. Linfan's Immortal Family doesn't know what's special about them. Now it seems that they may take the initiative to give up some of their senses to avoid distracting their minds and do their best to pursue meditation and concentration.
But this was just his guess. After all, he didn't know whether the old man was blind since birth.
Compared to these things, Fatty was more eager to see Lu Pingchuan. Seeing that Mo Li was walking slowly with a limp, he simply carried him on his back.
The three of them entered the city from the west gate. As soon as they entered Nanfeng, they found that the atmosphere in the city was not right. Officers and soldiers with knives were often seen running quickly through the streets, and many people were whispering and talking in the streets and alleys.
Nanfeng's ears and eyes were clear and he could hear clearly. It turned out that something strange happened in the city last night. Many ancestral houses and old houses of wealthy families were damaged. Most of them had large holes dug out in the main halls, and some had large beams. They were demolished, and some had their walls smashed.
Seeing Nan Feng frowning and looking at him, the fat man curled his lips and said, "Look what I do. I'm only responsible for finding it. Your wife dug it up. You saw it too. She was the one who carried it."
"Can you two..."
"What, you've already ruined the money, what else do you want to say?" The fat man glared.
Being short-tongued, Nanfeng could only wave his hands helplessly, "Let's go, let's go, go find big brother..."
