Chapter 262 The man on the roof
I thought I would see Old Man Jiang as soon as I got here, but what Ling Tian didn't expect was that Old Man Jiang had already left and there was no trace of it, which made Ling Tian very frustrated.
However, when Taoist Master Yining said that Old Man Jiang had left something for him, he hurriedly asked, "What did Old Man Jiang leave for me?"
"Uh, follow me."
He said to Ling Tian, turned around and said to the little Taoist boy, "Gu Ying, take the others to the east wing for tea."
"Okay, Master."
The little Taoist boy named Gu Ying said respectfully, and then took everyone to the east wing.
Ling Tian followed Taoist Yining to the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a statue opposite the door. Ling Tian didn't know or was interested in knowing who the statue was. He just glanced at it and never looked at it again.
In front of the statue is an incense burner with three incense sticks inserted on it, and three green eyes are curling upwards.
On both sides of the hall, there are two curtains.
Taoist Master Yining took Ling Tian to the right side of the hall, lifted the curtain and entered.
Ling Tian walked in and saw a desk inside, with books piled up on it. It should be the place where Taoist Master Yining usually does his homework.
Next to the desk, a circle of chairs was placed. Master Yining pointed at the chair and said, "Please sit."
Ling Tian sat down, Taoist Yining sat behind the desk, opened the drawer, and took out an antique wooden box from it.
"This is something Mr. Jiang left before leaving, I have never opened it."
Taoist Master Yining put the box on the table and stepped forward.
"What did he say?"
Ling Tian asked.
"He said that this was something he couldn't get, and he would definitely give it to you when you come."
Taoist Master Yining said, "I don't know what it is.
I just repeatedly reminded me to hand it over to you.
Now my mission is completed.”
After Taoist Yining finished speaking, his face showed a relief expression after the task was completed.
Ling Tian thanked him and picked up the box.
He saw a small password lock on it and was stunned for a moment.
Master Yining saw Ling Tian’s puzzled expression and immediately said, “Mr. Jiang said, this password is your birthday.”
After hearing what Master Yining said, Ling Tian was even more curious about what was here. He set the password as his birthday, and he meant that only he could open it.
Ling Tian thought about it, but instead did not rush to open it, he asked, "Why is Old Man Jiang so anxious to leave?"
Master Yining sighed, was silent for a while before saying, "Mr. Jiang and I have been friends for decades. This time he came here to prepare for a long time to live.
Unfortunately, he saved Mr. Bai Ziqing and exposed his whereabouts and had to leave."
So that's it. He was still afraid that his enemies would find them. Ling Tian asked curiously: "Who is the enemy that Old Man Jiang has been hiding?"
Taoist Master Yining shook his head and said, "This old Taoist asked him a few times, but he kept silent, so I couldn't continue asking."
Then he thought about it and said, "But with Mr. Jiang's cultivation level, there should not be many people in this world who can make him afraid and avoid him."
"Hmph, no matter who it is, I will definitely find it out."
Ling Tian said coldly, "And I will find Old Man Jiang to help him get rid of these obstacles and let him spend the rest of his life comfortably."
Taoist Master Yining smiled and said, "If this is true, then Mr. Jiang will be blessed."
Ling Tian took the box, looked at it and said, "What the hell is it?"
He turned to his password and saw the lock open with a bang, and there was something wrapped in cloth inside.
Ling Tian took it out and opened the cloth, and saw a thread-bound book. Ling Tian picked it up and read it. It turned out to be a "Tao Te Ching".
"It turned out to be a book."
Ling Tian showed Taoist Master Yining and said, "And it is also a classic of your Taoism."
Taoist Master Yining was very curious. He took the book and flipped it out, and then handed it to Ling Tian again, saying, "This is not an ordinary book, it has been annotated by many generations of warriors."
After hearing what the Taoist priest said, Ling Tian looked through it again, and then he noticed that there were indeed various comments.
"This book is too precious, no wonder Mr. Jiang attaches great importance to it. It is all about the practice experiences that warriors have learned based on this book. If combined with their experience, practice should be twice the result with half the effort."
Taoist Master Yining slowly told Ling Tian about the importance of this book. He sighed and said, "If you guessed it well, Mr. Jiang would definitely have lost the supplier payment after getting this book. Maybe his pursuit has something to do with this book."
After hearing the words of Taoist Master Yining, Ling Tian nodded, knowing that what he said should be true.
The cultivation scriptures that Old Man Jiang sacrificed his life to get for him must be used well.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a slight sound on the roof. He frowned and said coldly: "Who is on it?"
Get out!"
Taoist Master Yining was shocked and realized that someone had eavesdropped on their conversation on the roof just now. With his cultivation level, he didn't hear anyone on the roof, which made him look at Ling Tian with admiration.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to hear it."
The man on the roof laughed as if he had come out of the ground, and he was extremely cunning: "Since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore."
The man on the roof said and jumped directly into the yard, shouting to Ling Tian in the room, "Take the things in your hands, and I guarantee that all of you are safe."
Everyone who was drinking tea in the wing room heard the sound and quickly walked into the yard.
Ling Tian and Taoist Master Yining also slowly walked out of the hall.
I saw a man in a black Tang suit standing in the yard. He was thin and had a beard on his chin, and he could not tell his age.
Bai Zixian and the others were secretly shocked when they saw this person. They didn’t hear any sound on the roof. How high is this person’s cultivation?
"It takes no time to find a place to find a broken iron shoe.
I didn’t expect that the treasure many people are looking for is here.”
The man screamed, "Since that's the case, hand it over?"
Ling Tian held the box in his hand, sneered, and said, "How do you know that this is the treasure you are looking for?"
"Isn't everyone coming to Aoi Mountain just looking for a baby?"
The man smiled and said, "Take this over and spare you all."
"Hmph, it's not certain who dies and who lives."
