Chapter 100: A Small Temple in the Mountain

The fat guy Xu Cheng sometimes admires Brother Long and Zhang Dadao. Zhang Dadao aside, he must have some ability to run out of the Seventh Courtyard and fool so many people. Brother Long and his friends are also capable people. Apart from other things, they can quickly find a place to live when they arrive at a place. Just based on this, the fat guy thinks they are suitable to be real estate agents.
The place they found now was a remote little temple. This temple didn't even have a proper name. There were only two halls, a large hall in the front and several bungalows in the back. Originally, there was an old widower in this temple. Brother Long gave him some money and sent him away, so he rented this place. This temple was not very popular, and there were few people coming and going, so it was a very suitable place to hide.
As soon as they got here, the little fat man said to Zhang Dadao, "Well, the charlatan has come to the temple, you are really at home! It doesn't look like a Buddhist temple. As a professional, tell me, what kind of god is being worshipped here?"
Zhang Dadao glanced at it and rolled his eyes, saying, "Who knows what he is worshipping! Probably the mountain god or something! They are lucky to have this little broken temple touched by my immortal aura!"
Brother Long finished talking to Zheng Wen at this time, and came over and said, "Master! I heard from you that what you said is true, right?"
Zhang Dadao pouted, took an apple from the altar, and took a bite. The people beside him were so shocked that their eyelids twitched. This Taoist priest stole the offerings from the gods. There was no way to complain. The little fat man saw that Zhang Dadao was chewing the apples so crisply, so he secretly reached out his hand. Before he could touch the plate, Liuzi beside him slapped his hand away. The little fat man looked unhappy and said, "What are you doing! Didn't Brother Tianshi take it too!"
Liuzi curled his lips and said nothing. Wu Datou came up and said, "How can this be the same? He is a Taoist priest, and we are considered a family. If you steal, you will suffer retribution in this life, right? This is the temple of the river god, just like the bank of the Yellow River. You are not afraid of falling into the river and drowning!"
Zhang Dadao ate an apple leisurely before answering Brother Long: "It's no problem. As long as there is a fight, I can definitely find it for you! One hundred percent no problem, No Problem!" Zhang Dadao made the OK gesture with a relaxed look on his face.
Brother Long smiled when he saw how confident he was, and nodded, "That's enough! We are 90% sure that there is a fight here. Taoist priest, you don't know, this has been verified by others. It is said that it happened when Li Anquan, the Emperor Xian of the Western Xia Dynasty, usurped the throne. Another member of the royal family opposed him and fled here. After he died, he was not allowed to be buried in the royal mausoleum, so he was buried nearby. I guess, although they are a royal family in decline, they are still royal family after all. Even if they don't have as many good things as in the Western Xia Royal Mausoleum, they are definitely better than the one we dug before!"
Zhang Dadao nodded, responding with "hmmmm" in his mouth. He didn't know any historical allusions, but he was very interested in the emperor's name. He said cheerfully: "How was the name, Li Anquan? Does this guy look safe or does he want to be safe? Or is he safe and can't have children in his life?"
Zheng Wen smiled and said, "This Li Anquan usurped the throne, but was later dealt with badly by Temujin. His name is Anquan, but his life is really not safe."
Brother Long waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about who is buried underneath. We are not archaeologists. As long as there are good things, we don't care what else it is. Since the Taoist priest is sure, we should prepare for some things in advance. Xixia is a minority ethnic group, and I am afraid there will be a lot of supernatural things. For those of us in this business, it is better to believe in some things than not to believe in them. Taoist priest, please tell us what methods you have to deal with dirty things, and we will prepare everything in advance."
At this time, Wu Datou came over, took out a small bag and said, "Brother Taoist, take a look at this. It's a real black donkey hoof! I searched many places before I found it!"
As soon as Wu Datou opened the bag, Zhang Dadao covered his nose and asked repeatedly: "What is that? What's that smell? Black donkey hoof? What's the use of this broken thing?"
"Useless?" Brother Long and the others were stunned. Liu Zi said directly, "Do you understand? It's said in the book that this black donkey hoof can ward off evil spirits! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand it?"
Zhang Dadao said happily, "Where did you hear that? Do you believe it? And the black donkey hoof? Hurry up and throw it away. Does it smell bad? It's useless except for attracting flies. To deal with rice dumplings and other dirty things, you have to use black dog blood! Black dog blood, or a big rooster will do if you don't have it. These two are extremely yang things. I have never heard of black donkey hoof. Is this a folk remedy from your village?"
Brother Long and the others looked at each other awkwardly, and Zheng Wen even quietly put the inkstone he had just taken out behind his back. The little fat man saw it clearly and laughed, "Haha, I'm so happy! You really believe it! Black donkey hoof, this is from a novel! Brother Wen, you're even more ridiculous, inkstone! Haha, isn't this Lin Zhengying's "Zombie" series? The Taoist priest Mao Xiaofang, wow hahaha! You even believe this?"
The fat guy laughed at Brother Long and the others wantonly, and Brother Long and the others all looked pale. Zheng Wen laughed dryly and said, "We don't know this either! Some small mistakes are inevitable, but luckily you are a professional, we will listen to you! No matter if it is a black dog or a black sheep, we will get it back later!"
Brother Long nodded and said, "Yes, yes! This matter requires us to be prepared. Taoist priest, tell me what you want and I will ask Liuzi to get it for you!"
Zhang Dadao nodded proudly and raised his chin towards the little fat man. Now there was no one in front of him to show off to. After all, the little fat man was an old acquaintance of Zhang Dadao, so he could barely show off to him. The little fat man huddled in the corner, looking at Brother Long with contempt, shaking his head and sighing: "Alas, the fool was deceived by the madman!"
Zhang Dadao was proud for a while, then he said mysteriously: "After a fight, the evil spirit is too strong, and ordinary talismans are useless. If you have peach wood, get some first. The older the better, and it would be best if it has been struck by lightning. A young chicken, it has to be a rooster! It has to be alive, and the other thing is black dog blood."
Zheng Wen nodded repeatedly and said, "There are some in this rooster book, it's for exploring the way! It can also tell whether the air below is good or bad!"
"Yes, yes. I've seen this in "Ghost Blows Out the Light", but they used a goose, which has stronger vitality but is not as good as a rooster!" Wu Datou also interrupted.
"What do you know?" Zhang Dadao curled his lips in disdain. "There are many centipedes and scorpions in the gloomy place. Bringing a rooster down there can just get rid of those poisonous insects, you know? Air testing is just a byproduct. Can't you bring a few oxygen tanks with you ? You don't understand science! I despise you ignorant people!" Zhang Dadao looked at him with contempt.
The expressions of Brother Long and his friends became more and more weird. They felt really weird being looked down upon by a Taoist priest for not understanding science.
