"Tsk!"
The thin young man raised his middle finger and cursed softly.
" What's with that look in your eyes? There's no written rule that only members of tomb raiding families can use the Luoyang shovel. Hurry up and follow me out. The things in this tomb are not something that you two Taoist priests with low cultivation bases can touch. If it weren't for the fact that I have some friendship with your Longhu Mountain, I wouldn't have brought you out.”
"However, if we don't bring the Great General's weapon out, we will still die. Why don't this friend bring us into the main tomb and bring out the Bloodblade? Five thousand taels of silver, we can split it in half.”
"Master, it's not ten thousand taels of silver…boohoo.”Before the little Daoist could finish speaking, the middle-aged Taoist priest covered his mouth.
"The child is not sensible. Senior, please don't take offense.”The middle-aged Taoist priest rubbed his hands and looked up at the thin young man in embarrassment.
The thin young man waved his hand, indicating that the middle-aged Taoist priest did not need to be nervous. He said," Stop talking nonsense and come with me. I'm in a good mood now, so I don't have any anger. Leave quickly. Otherwise, you can sleep here and accompany that big dumpling inside. He has been living alone for hundreds of years. He's just worried that there's no one to accompany him."”
"Many thanks for Senior's life-saving grace. May I know Senior's name so that I can repay Senior the next time we meet?”
The middle-aged Taoist priest also stopped smiling and bowed to the thin young man solemnly. Those who could escape from the dumplings were all powerful old monsters.
On Mount Longhu, only their uncle-masters and uncle-masters could do this so easily. Young Taoist priests like them, who had not reached the peak of their cultivation, would run as far away as they could when they encountered a small dumpling that was decades old, not to mention a big dumpling that was hundreds of years old.
"Master, what dumplings are you talking about? Are the dumplings delicious here?”The little Daoist boy bit his finger and drooled foolishly. He imagined the delicious "big zongzi" he had eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Seeing the little Daoist boy's funny look, the thin youth was instantly delighted. He reached out and stroked the little Daoist boy's bun, smiling as he said," Your disciple's root bone is very good. Cultivate him well. As for my name, you don't need to know it. Anyway, even if I tell you, you might not have heard of it, so you don't have to waste your breath. Also, help me pass a message to your Sect Master, that the Yang family will definitely abide by the agreement from back then.”
……
In the early morning forest, all kinds of plants were covered with dew, shining under the gentle sunlight. A winding path was built in the middle, like a giant dragon that had fallen into a deep sleep.
"Master, why did you leave for such a long time without even saying goodbye to senior and uncle before pulling me away? Didn't you teach me before that a child who doesn't greet others is a bad child? Also, why did you throw away the small shovel that senior uncle gave me?”
The little Daoist boy followed behind the middle-aged Taoist priest with a long face and grumbled about his master's "evidence".
"Small shovel?" The middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly stopped and looked at his disciple beside him in a daze. To be precise, he looked at the long gray strip wrapped tightly in a tattered Taoist robe behind the little Daoist boy. He said incoherently," Qishan, the long strip on your back, could it be…?"”
"I went to the toilet in the catacomb just now…”
"Then you sneakily brought that small shovel out!”The middle-aged Taoist priest's tone gradually turned cold, and a layer of anger appeared between his brows.
"Master, are you okay? If you don't like it, I can throw it away.”
The little Daoist boy called Qishan said weakly. He quickly took off the gray cloth tied to his body. Just as he was about to throw it away, the middle-aged Taoist priest reached out to stop him.
"Mount Qi!"
"Master, I'm here."
"I know that your ambition is not on the path of Dao. After all, you are still young and can't stand the loneliness of cultivation. Mo, cultivation isn't just about cultivation. It's about cultivating your mind and body. I hope you can put down the hatred in your heart and look at everything calmly.”The middle-aged Taoist priest earnestly and carefully reminded the little Daoist child of Mount Qi, but he did not see the deep hatred hidden in the depths of the little Daoist child's eyes.
"Master, I understand. They also have their own difficulties. I have long thrown that matter to the back of my mind.”The little Daoist boy of Mount Qi raised his head and smiled happily. That little face with a little fluffy beard smiled like a flower.
"It's good that you know. Don't easily show this Luoyang shovel to others, especially in the eyes of the tomb raiders. Otherwise, there will be a disaster.”
The middle-aged Taoist priest was relieved when he saw the little Daoist boy's reaction. He was not afraid of the negative impact that the Luoyang shovel would bring to his disciple, but that his disciple would overestimate himself and provoke that very powerful family.
"Then let's leave quickly. This year's start is really bad. Let's go back to Mount Longhu first and wait for that high official of the imperial court to die before we come out. I wonder if your martial uncles will laugh at us when they see our sorry state.”
"I don't think the uncles will. Master set off for them to live a better life. They haven't seen meat for decades and are as thin as bamboo poles.”
The middle-aged Taoist priest gently held the small hand of the little Daoist boy of Mount Qi and slowly walked away. Vaguely, they could still hear their laughter echoing in the forest.
After an unknown amount of time, the mountain forest path returned to its usual calm. Only one or two crisp and pleasant bird chirps could be heard in the dense shade of the trees. It could not be stopped for a long time. Suddenly, a soft sigh came from within.
