Tomb Raider: I, at the beginning, took Fatty Lao Hu as my younger brother

Add to that the Buddha statues, golden pagodas, and molting turtles, and this trip was a huge gain.

The molting turtle is also a divine creature. If it were auctioned in the 21st century, it would be worth at least tens of billions. After all, it is a divine creature that can cure all kinds of poisons and heal wounds.

Of course, the most important thing is to help Lao Hu, Fatty, and Shirley Yang break the curse.

From now on, the sky is high and the birds can fly freely, without any worries!

Compared to the happy Zhou Xun and others, Ah Xiang and Han Shu Na looked a little lonely.

Zhou Xun could do nothing about it. Uncle Ming was not a good person, and it would be best for him to get away from this as soon as possible, Zhou Xun thought.

If anyone is to blame, it's Uncle Ming who stretched his hand too far and touched something he shouldn't have touched.

Zhou Xun asked Ah Xiang and Han Shu Na, "Where are you going to go after you finish handling your assets?"

Ah Xiang shook her head. Without Uncle Ming, she no longer had a home.

Han Shu Na thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Maybe I can open an antique shop. These are all I know. I'm not very familiar with other things."

Zhou Xun nodded to Han Shu Na: "Okay, if you don't have anywhere to go, you can come to me and I will help you arrange it."

Then he said to Ah Xiang: "Ah Xiang, why don't you just follow your sister Yang for the time being, and we'll talk about it later!"

Ah Xiang nodded silently.

Shirley Yang felt sorry for Ah Xiang and said to her, "We have a lot of family members, and it's very lively and fun for us to be together. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me!"

"Ok!"

A Xiang nodded again!

The fat man said enthusiastically: "Sister Xiang, don't worry, Uncle Ming is Uncle Ming, and you are you. When we get back, Brother Fatty will take you to travel around the city!"

Lao Hu said, "That's right. From now on, if you have any problems, just look for your Fat Brother. If Fat Brother can't help you, look for me. If I can't help you, look for Lao Zhou."

When Ah Xiang heard everyone say this and how much they cared about her, she felt warm inside.

Han Shu Na also looked at Ah Xiang with envy. She had really lost a lot on this trip. She had lost her man and her hand. She would be a disabled person in the future and it would be difficult to find another husband.

Fortunately, I can still get hundreds of thousands. Hundreds of thousands these days are enough to make me a wealthy person!

Buy some land and a courtyard house, and after a few decades, you will have a net worth of tens of billions!

As for whether Han Shu-na can have such vision, it is hard to say. However, even so, antiques are also a highly profitable industry. Antiques that are sold for a few cents now may be worth tens of millions in the 0st century...

......

night.

Zhou Xun and a few others went to visit the Iron Rod Lama.

When the Iron Rod Lama saw that everyone had returned safely, he felt much more relaxed and kept praising the Buddha for blessing them!

Lao Hu told Tiebang Lama about their experience in going into the mountains.

After listening to this, Lama Ake sighed again: "Auspicious, the merits are too numerous to mention, it is truly glorious and brilliant. This is not only your good fortune, but also the Buddha's blessing to you!"

"This body is a container of suffering, just like one's own enemy. If one can make good use of this body, it will become the foundation of auspiciousness..."

"What are these Zhuchen beads you are talking about?"

Lama Ake didn't know much about the Zhuchen Pearl and was very confused.

Zhou Xun explained: "In fact, the Zhuchen Pearl is the phoenix gallbladder. The Tibetan Tantric Buddhism also has the theory of Feng Shui, which is similar to the Feng Shui theory in China, but the terminology is very different."

"Just like the Karamir Mountains, the Tantric Buddhism calls it the Phoenix Palace, the place of the Phoenix bird, while the Qingwu Feng Shui refers to it as the Dragon's Peak, the backbone of heaven and earth, the place where yin and yang merge."

"After the fall of the Demonic Kingdom, the phoenix gallbladder flowed into the Central Plains. The princes and nobles in charge of divination in the Zhou Dynasty predicted through 2.8 candles and tortoise shells that this was a secret weapon that symbolized immortality and reincarnation, and that it came from the land of the phoenix."

"But I haven't figured out how to use it correctly. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, some privileged classes have kept the dragon bones with the variant inscriptions of Fengming Qishan."

"They all thought that this was something that could make people immortal, and they hoped to uncover the secret of immortality."

"And this Phoenix Gallbladder is actually a sacrificial vessel used by the Demon Country to worship the Ghost Cave. The Phoenix Palace has a special geographical location and has two pools inside, just like the two small black and white circles in the Tai Chi diagram!"

"There is a line in the middle of the Tai Chi diagram that separates the black and white yin and yang. The black and white sides symbolize the unity of yin and yang. The pool in the Phoenix Temple symbolizes these two dots."

Chapter 343: Fulfill a vow and donate!

“If you cover these two points with opposite colors, the yin and yang will no longer be integrated, but will be clearly separated.”

After Zhou Xun finished speaking, Lama Ake also understood a lot.

In fact, in Zhou Xun's opinion, the Zhuchen Pearl has limited effect. It has been studied in the hands of the Demon Kingdom for so many years, but no one who can live forever has appeared.

It's not as good as the corpse-turtle pill researched by the Queen Mother of the West. At least people have gotten started, although the side effects are severe!

If we were to say who in this world knows the most about the Zhuchen Pearl, it would definitely be the people from the Demonic Kingdom. In the end, except for the study of immortality and reincarnation, they did study a lot about strange beasts and monsters.

Lao Hu took off his clothes and let Lama Ake look at the mark on his back.

Zhou Xun also saw that Zhou Xun’s curse mark had changed from red to black.

Zhou Xun knew that this meant that the channel between the real and imaginary spaces was completely cut off.

Finally, I got rid of the deadly entanglement of the ghost cave.

After the Iron Rod Lama understood the Zhuchen Pearl, he looked at the mark on Lao Hu's back and suddenly realized, "It turns out that the Phoenix Gallbladder is the 30 reincarnation pearls mentioned in the poem of the King of Enemy-Defeating Pearls."

"The sky has no boundaries, the earth has no laws, the remaining poison of the demon kingdom has not yet been eliminated, all laws are changing, and the world is impermanent. What you have done can be regarded as the achievement of an immeasurable and great good result, which is joyful and auspicious."

Old Hu nodded repeatedly and said, "May the Buddha bless me, it's my duty!"

The fat man smiled and said, "So we have done a great deed, which is of great merit. Will we have smooth sailing and good fortune in the future?"

Shirley Yang explained: "It's not calculated like that, but there are definitely many benefits to having good deeds. As for the future, who knows!"

In fact, Shirley Yang is a person who believes in science very much. She doesn't really believe in these illusory merits, but she is in awe of them.

Lao Hu asked Lama Ake: "What are your plans for the future? Although you didn't go there in person this time, it is still a great deed for you. After all, you really helped us a lot this time, and your contribution is indispensable!"

Lama Ake responded without thinking: "Of course I will go to the lake to fulfill my wish. I have been there for my whole life, so I will naturally continue to pray for blessings in the future!"

When Lama Ak said this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but admire his perseverance, but he was even more shocked by the power of faith, which made people pray, pray, and pray for their whole lives!

There is no life.

However, Zhou Xun thought about it and could understand it. After all, this living Buddha was indeed extremely mysterious in the local area.

With this living Buddha spreading Buddhist culture, it is no wonder that others believe in it so deeply.

The fat man was also surprised and asked, "Are you planning to stay there forever?"

The fat man didn't understand what the point of living like this was.

Lama Ake smiled and said, "Yes, this is my mission, and this is also my lifelong wish!"

Lao Hu said: "The Buddha will definitely bless you!"

Lama Ak nodded and asked Lao Hu, "What are your plans?"

Lao Hu said: "I plan to return to Kyoto and live a good life. This curse has tormented me for a long time. Now I just want to live a good life."

Looking at Lama Ake, he is already very old. Lao Hu really doesn’t know if he can see him again next time after this farewell.

Thinking of this, my eyes couldn't help but become moist.

Different from Zhou Xun, Fatty, Shirley Yang and Zhang Yingchen.

Lao Hu and Lama Ake have been friends for many years.

Seeing the red eyes, Lama Ake seemed to know what Lao Hu was thinking. Although he felt bad, he still smiled and said, "Don't think too much. Fate will arrange it."

Old Hu nodded deeply.

Zhou Xun looked at Lao Hu and knew the pain of separation, but he didn't know what to say. He just took Shirley Yang, Fatty, and Zhang Yingchen out and left the space for the two of them.

......

Early the next morning.

After breakfast.

After Zhou Xun gave Chuyi and the porters a very generous reward, he discussed with Shirley Yang, Lao Hu, Fatty Zhang Yingchen, and planned to donate a sum of money in the name of everyone, Chuyi and Lama Ake to build a golden Buddha statue.

After all, Lama Ake really helped everyone a lot this time.

Of course, it is definitely not pure gold, it is gold-plated. Most golden Buddha statues are gold-plated, and pure gold ones are rare.

When Lama Ake heard this, he did not refuse and thanked him repeatedly.

Finally, Lama Ak led everyone to a nearby temple.

This temple is very small, with only two entrances, front and back. There are some piles of scripture stones nearby. The name of the temple is Bai Luo Man Zha.

After the introduction of the channel, several people learned that the name was also related to a local legend.

The front hall houses the eight-year-old statue of the Buddha, Acalanatha, while the back hall houses the remains of murals left over from the Tang Dynasty.

This place used to be glorious!

When they looked closer, they saw the palace of the Dragon King, the bedroom of the Rakshasa witch, the secret passage where the evil dragon appeared, and the valley where the evil spirit lurked.

They were all demons and monsters that were subdued by the Immovable Vajra back then.

There are statues of the incense-seeking gods on both sides, who are responsible for offering sacrifices to the gods with the wonderful music of the pipa!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun was not sure whether these things really happened.

After all, they had witnessed many local legends along the way.

If it is true, then Zhou Xun would be even more surprised. It seems that there are still many capable people in this world.

For a mortal to be able to subdue so many strange beasts or unknown creatures with his own strength, that must be extraordinary.

At least, courage and martial arts are indispensable.

Lao Hu and his gang, especially Tian Zhenwuxie and his gang, without the help of the young man, had to rely more on the firepower of hot weapons and the power of explosives.

In ancient times, these things did not exist.

Thinking about his future plans and the forces he would build, Zhou Xun became more excited about the future!

After regaining their composure, everyone continued to walk around the temple.

Shirley Yang asked a local why the place was so dilapidated.

Chapter 344: Return to Beijing

Everyone was puzzled. With the necessary foundation and the support of local people's faith, this really shouldn't happen!

Finally, according to local people, due to its remote location and sparse population, the Acalanatha Temple is not very popular, and thousands of years have passed in a flash.

Now only one-third of its size remains, which is considered very dilapidated in the local area.

A long time ago, there were three Buddhist temples here, which also enshrined Kalachakra and Heruka.

After understanding the reason, everyone had just finished a circle, and Zhou Xun made the decision to donate here.

To be honest, Zhou Xun was too lazy to read on as he was eager to return home. He didn't know what was going on with Kyoto, his company, and the antique city.

......

three days later.

Yes, three days later, everyone stayed in the local area to recuperate for three days before setting off back to Beijing!

When leaving, he also said goodbye to Chuyi. Although Zhou Xun also planned to take Chuyi back home, Chuyi already had a home here. Zhou Xun was helpless about this and could only say that he would contact him more often in the future.

After knowing that Zhou Xun and others were about to leave, Chuyi was reluctant to let them go. After going through life and death together, their friendship had greatly strengthened.

......

After returning to Kyoto, the first thing everyone did was to rush to the palace. After all, everyone was still carrying a lot of luggage.

Han Shu Na did not follow, but went to deal with Uncle Ming's assets in the courtyard.

Zhou Xun told Han Shuona that if she wanted to sell the courtyard house, she could sell it to him.

Although it is a bit small, the environment is good.

Moreover, in the future, fewer people will be able to afford a large courtyard house, so this type of two-courtyard house will be easier to sell.

A huge profit.

Han Shu Na naturally agreed. It would not be easy for her to dispose of the courtyard house in a short period of time, so she could just sell it to Zhou Xun.

Return to the palace.
