Maoshan ghost hunter

"These people are not very friendly." Ye Shaoyang murmured.

"Of course, they are very xenophobic. If it weren't for their high priest to take care of us, we would have become the ghosts of their guns. Master Ye, have you seen the guns in their hands?"

After being reminded by Taoist Zikun, Ye Shaoyang noticed that there was a long spear placed in every living wall hole, which should be made of wood with a sharp end.

Chapter 1697

Taoist Zikun said as he walked, these believers are born warriors, but only those with certain talents can learn witchcraft. Among them, wizards are the highest-ranking group of people. There is one witch Zhu among every ten wizards. The people who attacked the camp before Those wizards were led by wizard assistants.

Further up is the High Priest, the head of all.

While talking, Taoist Zikun led them through this "living area" and entered a wide cave. A man walked up to him without a mask. He looked to be in his 20s. Taoist Zikun bowed immediately when he saw him. salute.

Ye Shaoyang noticed that the man was wearing a red monk's robe similar to that of a lama. Although it was a bit worn out, it was not dirty. He looked at Ye Shaoyang and the others with hostility on his face.

Taoist Zikun spoke to him in a language that Ye Shaoyang could not understand.

The man responded coldly.

Taoist Zikun pointed at the three of Ye Shaoyang, as if he was introducing them, but the man ignored him and walked away.

"This is the only son of the high priest, and the successor of the next generation high priest." Taoist Zikun waited for the man to leave, and said in a low voice.

Ye Shaoyang was stunned, but he heard Wu Jiawei say: "Why doesn't his father want to see him?"

Taoist Zikun and Ye Shaoyang froze together.

Ye Shaoyang said: "Can you understand what they said?"

"They speak the Uighur language. Don't forget that I am also from Xinjiang. I have Uighur relatives in my family, so I can speak Uighur."

Ye Shaoyang looked at Taoist Zikun, frowned and said, "Why do they speak Uighur?"

"They originally spoke Tibetan, but after all they have lived here for many years, of course they can also speak Uighur. Otherwise, how can they communicate when they go shopping in Lop Nur town?"

Taoist Zikun led them through the hall and walked into a wall hole, but this wall hole was much larger than those people lived in. There was a stone bed inside. Taoist Zikun lit an oil lamp and asked them to wait a while. , I will invite his master to come here.

The three of them sat on the stone bed and waited, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

This place is a completely strange world to them, but it's unbelievable to think about so many people living underground.

"By the way, the son of the high priest just now, what did you say?" Ye Shaoyang asked, remembering this incident.

"He asked Taoist Zikun why his father would rather meet them than himself. Taoist Zikun said he didn't know either, so he will ask next time." Wu Jiadao said.

Ye Shaoyang frowned when he heard this, this matter is indeed quite strange.Another point: they walked along the way, and the believers they met were full of hostility towards them, which showed that they were very xenophobic. However, the sects represented by Taoist Zikun can freely come and go here. The explanation for this is that their master had made an alliance with the high priest.

But on closer inspection, these Taoist priests from the pavilions also came for the purpose of robbing tombs, and they were regarded as the enemies of the high priest. How did they manage to win the trust of the high priest?Taoist Zikun did not explain clearly.

The two things were connected, and Ye Shaoyang felt that there seemed to be some conspiracy in between.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Taoist Zikun walked in after a while, followed by a fat man with a wide body and round waist, five short stature, he seemed to weigh at least 200 kilograms, he was not wearing a Taoist robe, but a loose The long gown, looks about fifty years old, but looks simple and honest.

Ye Shaoyang was stunned on the spot. Originally, he heard Taoist Zikun tell him that his master must be a scheming and cunning person. He thought he would be a Taoist priest with a sinister appearance. Unexpectedly, the real person actually looks like Maitreya Buddha. The key is ... This is the first time I have seen such a fat Taoist priest.

The Wu Jiawei brothers were also a little confused.

"Hahaha, this is Headmaster Ye, right? I've been admiring him for a long time." The fat Taoist smiled as soon as he entered the door, and reached out to hold Ye Shaoyang's hand, as kindly as seeing his long-lost son.

On the contrary, Ye Shaoyang was a little caught off guard and looked at him dully.

"Pindao, named Tianbao, is the contemporary leader of the 'Yi' school of Zhonggejiao. I have always wanted to go to Maoshan to worship the mountain, but I have no chance. Today I can see Zhangjiao Ye. I am lucky, Sansheng is lucky."

Taoist Tianbao held Ye Shaoyang's hand, made out for a long time, and then greeted Wu Jiawei brothers. When he learned that they were Laoshan disciples, he also praised them a lot. heap.Wu Jiawei ignored it indifferently, but Wu Jiadao showed the same intimacy and exchanged pleasantries with Taoist Tianbao.

"There is no wine or tea here. It's a pity." Taoist Tianbao pulled everyone to sit down on the bed, and sat on the stone bench opposite him. Status, offended, offended, please three Haihan."

Wu Jiadao said: "It's because we don't know each other without fighting. In the future, we will be a family."

"That's right, that's right, we're all fellow Taoists with the same goal, we have to do a lot of work, make a fortune together, make a fortune together!"

Taoist Tianbao laughed first after speaking, and the loud laughter shook the whole cave.

Ye Shaoyang was dumbfounded by this expression, and felt that what he was facing was not a Taoist priest, let alone a sect of teachers, but a small boss selling business.

Taoist Tianbao stopped laughing in time, patted his chest and said, "Before taking action, if Master Ye has any questions, I will give you a comprehensive answer!"

Ye Shaoyang sorted out his thoughts, and said: "I want to know something about these believers, you know, I am very worried that we will be cheated by them when we act, so I need to know more about it."

Taoist Tianbao couldn't help nodding.

Ye Shaoyang began to ask questions, Taoist Tianbao explained in detail, and under his explanation, Ye Shaoyang had a deeper understanding of these believers:

Since these believers migrated to Lop Nur, they lived by fishing at first. At that time, they lived by the lake of Lop Nur, lived with the local people, married wives and had children from the town—just like the Han people in ancient times, they also In a patrilineal society, no matter what nationality the woman is married to, the children born are all descendants of her own tribe.

However, this nation has always maintained independence in life, and has never forgotten its traditions and responsibilities. In the late 70s, Lop Nur completely dried up, and many border residents migrated to the interior. In order to survive, they entered the caves to live. by eating fish—

There are many underground rivers in the cave, and the fish is rich, which can at least meet their living needs.

Chapter 1698 God of Light 1

"These believers also hunt yellow sheep on the ground. Every once in a while, they go to Lop Nur town to sell and buy clothes and some daily necessities. Therefore, some believers can speak Uighur."

After such a long speech, Taoist Tianbao temporarily paused understandingly, letting them digest for a while, and looked at them with a smile on his side.

Ye Shaoyang pondered for a moment, then said: "These believers said that the ancient tomb we are going to dig is their god's tomb?"

Taoist Tianbao nodded in praise and said: "Master Ye may not know that what they believe in is a kind of god in Buddhism. I don't know much about Buddhism. I don't know what it is. It is translated in their language and it is called 'Grandma. Duo', they regard it as the God of Light, so let's call it the God of Light."

Ye Shaoyang knew that he was talking about Di Shitian, but deliberately did not reveal it.

"These believers firmly believe that they are the descendants of the God of Light, and they call themselves the Guangming Cult. Therefore, it is their responsibility and obligation to protect the tomb of the god, and they will never allow the tomb of the god to be destroyed by outsiders... We, the sect of the pavilions, initially followed They had disputes, and it took Pindao nearly a year to get along with them. Zhangjiao Ye, if you want to go to the tomb without their permission, it will be quite troublesome."

Ye Shaoyang understands that he is asking for credit for himself, but he also admits that this is the truth. Taking himself as an example, even if these "Guangming Cult" believers can't beat him, he can wait for his group to go to the grave, do bad things outside, or even block the entrance. Let them be the turtle in the urn.

At the moment, he deliberately smiled "sincerely" at Taoist Tianbao, "Thank you, Master Tianbao, for letting me avoid repeating the mistakes of the previous scientific expedition team."

Because the sects of the Pavilion sect separated from Taoism in ancient times and lost their common inheritance, so there is no way to talk about seniority. Ye Shaoyang simply called him uncle according to his age. This is also the usual practice in the magic world.

"However, I want to know, these believers should be very xenophobic, how did the uncle manage to break into them?"

"Well, I used a little bit of tricks, but I can't get on the stage, don't mention it, don't mention it." Taoist Tianbao laughed and waved his hands vigorously.

This is obviously an excuse. Although Ye Shaoyang really wants to know, it is not easy to ask further.Especially the attitude of the other party... Ye Shaoyang finally understood the horror of this kind of smiling tiger.

As the saying goes, raise your hand and don't smile. If the other party's attitude is indifferent, the two parties have no emotion, and they are purely cooperating, then you can ask anything. As a result, Taoist Tianbao recognized his relatives when he came up, with a warm and sincere attitude. It made Ye Shaoyang difficult to ask too in-depth questions, thinking that he was still too immature, if old Guo was around, it would be much easier to deal with this smiling tiger in front of him.

Wu Jiawei asked at this time: "Are you also living in this cave now?"
