Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

The night was late and the rain was getting heavier.

It takes at least two hours to drive from Tofufang to Qiandaohu Passenger Station. I drove very slowly on the road and didn't dare to drive fast. It was not because the rain was getting heavier, but because I was scared.

I am afraid of the Changchun Society.

Will they silence me too?

Could it be that the car I am driving now has been tampered with by someone in advance?

Will the tire burst suddenly on the highway? Or will the brakes fail?

The death of the Taoist priest began to make me suspicious, so I would step on the brakes from time to time to test the sensitivity.

At this time, apart from the sound of rain, the only thing you can hear is the unpleasant sound of the wipers rubbing against the glass.

The light ahead turned red, I slowly stopped the car and glanced at the rearview mirror out of habit.

It was just a moment, and I quickly closed my eyes.

I saw two paper figures sitting in the back seat, one with red lips and the other with only half of its face left after being burned, both of them were smiling at me. As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. I know this is an illusion caused by people under high tension, but if I choose to hide the truth from the little Taoist priest I'm about to meet, I will undoubtedly become an accomplice in the death of the Taoist priest.

But I can't say it.

What Shit Wuchang meant was exactly what Zhuge Qing meant. I was worried that Xiaoxuan and Baotou would be implicated, so I could only choose the lesser of two evils and made up an excuse for myself. I thought to myself, "The people of Jingmen are so capable, they will definitely be able to calculate the cause of the Taoist's death. There is no need for me to be the first to speak out."

On the way, the Taoist priest called me twice in succession. He asked me why I was going so slowly and asked me to go faster. Just like that, I drove to the bus station around two o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Haha! You're finally here! Long time no see, how are you?"

"I'm doing fine. How about you?"

"I'm definitely fine! I'm in great shape! Everything I eat tastes delicious! I'm in great shape! From time to time I can even get a date with a pretty girl to spend the night with!"

I smiled.

Seeing the young Taoist priest again, his hair had grown a lot longer, and he had a small braid tied with a rubber band at the back of his head. He didn't look like a monk with a certificate of ordination, but rather a spirited young man watching over the bar.

They drove an old black Audi with an off-site license plate, and a total of three people came to this trip.

The little Taoist priest, his grandfather was a great fortune teller, and there was another man who looked very strange.

I have met his grandfather, but never this man.

This person is about 1.75 meters tall, wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, buttoned up meticulously, and a pair of black flat cloth shoes. His ten fingers are slender and white, like the hands of a piano player. He looks like he is living a life of luxury. In addition, he wears three plain rings of different materials on his left hand, one gold, one silver, and one jade. Why do I say this person is very strange? Because of his face.

It had a clean, smooth white mask on its face, with the areas around the eye sockets and mouth painted dark black.

The man only exposed his eyes outside, so that it was impossible to tell from the appearance that this person was a man or a woman, which looked very mysterious.

After this man got out of the car, we went to a place where we could shelter from the rain. He didn't say a word. I was looking at him, and he was looking at me at the same time.

The young Taoist priest said, "This is my grandfather. You have already met him, so I won't introduce him to you. I want to introduce this person to you solemnly."

"This one is our Master of Jingmen."

"Zheng...Zheng Sect Master?! Didn't you say that your sect master can't come?"

I was shocked and quickly asked the little Taoist priest.

The young Taoist scratched his head and said, "I did think that the Sect Master would not come before, but later on, the Sect Master himself asked to come."

"Master, this is the Xiang Yunfeng I told you about, my good brother. The copper table we brought back last time was given to us by him."

I quickly bowed and greeted him, being extremely respectful, almost kneeling down.

The bronze table that the little Taoist priest was talking about was the bronze taboo. I am not the type to kneel down when I see anyone, but the problem is that this person is actually the master of Jingmen! He is definitely the most awesome of the awesome.

Let me put it this way. The Dao Sect I belong to is ranked at the bottom of the Eight Sects, almost the same as the Prostitute Sect, while the Jing Sect has always been ranked first since thousands of years ago. It has always been the leader of the Eight Sects, and its status has never been shaken! The masters of the Jing Sect in all dynasties are all powerful people, all of them are very mysterious. Ordinary people can completely change their lives if they can get some advice from them. There are countless rich and powerful people in this world who are struggling to find their traces, but they often end up not finding them. Therefore, I am very lucky to meet them once.

"No need to be detained or polite. I took the initiative to come this time. I had to come. I didn't tell you in advance because I wanted the trip to be kept secret. Please forgive me."

"No, no! Master, you are too polite!"

A layer of sweat appeared on my forehead and I saluted again quickly.

How can I describe the sound of its speech... It is very "neutral", I can't tell whether it is male or female, so I will just call it "it" for now.

Seeing that I was very reserved, the little Taoist priest immediately hugged my shoulder and smiled, "You are afraid of asking for help. Our sect master is very easy-going and does not eat people."

At this time, the young Taoist priest with white hair on the side said, "It's getting late. I'm sorry, please lead the way. The Taoist priest is indefinitely traveling. It's safer to see him soon."

"Yes, Xiao Xiangzi! Take me to see the master quickly! You drive your car and I will follow you!" The little Taoist priest said hurriedly.

I wiped the sweat off my face and whispered to his grandfather, "Old sir, you have made every possible plan. Can you predict the Taoist's current situation?"

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Just as Suan Fantian was about to speak, the young Taoist interrupted him, saying, "Didn't I tell you last time? My grandfather couldn't figure it out! Even the sect leader couldn't figure it out! Because my master's fate is already a Buddhist or Taoist fate. If he could figure it out, why would I be sitting here like an idiot, waiting for you for five or six hours?"

After hearing the little Taoist's words, I felt relieved.

But the next second he became nervous again.

I know that if I don’t talk at this time, I will be unable to speak even later when I arrive at the tofu shop.

"It seems something is wrong with you. What's wrong?" the little Taoist priest looked at me and asked.

I took a deep breath, mustered my courage, and said to the three people, "I...I know I can't hide it, so I have to say it, the Taoist...the Taoist...the Taoist is gone."

"What."

"Gone? Are you kidding us? If my master ran away again, you should have called me in advance to tell me! Do you know how many days it took us to get here?"

"No...it's not that he is gone...it's...the Taoist priest is gone."

"Ah? The person is gone?"

The young Taoist priest still didn't react. He didn't even think about it that way.

His grandfather's face changed when he heard this, and he said to me: "My friend, don't say such things casually..."

I had been feeling aggrieved the whole way, and I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I immediately shouted, "It just happened a few hours ago! Taoist Priest Ma passed away! He has passed away!"

The young Taoist priest's eyes widened, and he stood there motionless as if struck by lightning.

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding you! I'm serious! The Taoist priest has passed away! I was originally planning to tell you over the phone, but then I thought about the seriousness of the matter! It's safer to tell you in person."

"How can it be!"

"I don't believe it! How could my master die? That's impossible!"

The little Taoist priest grabbed my collar and questioned loudly, and his spit was all spitting on my face.

I forced myself to calm down and lied, "The Taoist priest drank a kind of medicinal wine called Deer-Shocking Wine. That wine is inherently toxic. The Taoist priest drank too much on a whim. By the time we found him, it was already... too late!"

After saying that, I tried my best to make myself look flawless and looked up at the leader of the Jingmen Sect who came to Qiandao Lake with the young Taoist priest.

The other person stared at me, the eyes beneath the mask unblinking, as if trying to see through the secret hidden deep in my heart.
