I open a homestay in the last days

Chapter 174 Verses
In the food and B&B at No. 11 Hengyi Road in R City, the lights were brightly lit, and it was still full tonight. Zhu Yu finished the book and walked out, wandering in front of the door of No. 13 Hengyi Road.

Now the restaurant business is only for dinner. Everyone understands this. Now that food is expensive, there are fewer people who can afford restaurants, and the procurement of food has become difficult.

Although food and B&Bs do not lack these, but the surrounding environment is such that concealing one's own strength is also a form of protection.

The depression caused by the lack of water does not seem to be obvious in City R at present, but everyone is talking about the upcoming extreme weather.

The three underground fortresses built in City R can accommodate 60 people. The current resident population of City R is 58, which is twice the population base compared to before the end of the world.

There is also a private underground fortress 800 meters behind the city lord's mansion, which was funded and built by the Chen family alone.

The bigu pills brought back by the guards were handed over to Chen Xi'an, who was sent by his family, and he couldn't be negligent due to emotion or reason.

Chen Xi'an took the Bigu pill as soon as he got it, and began to study the composition of the pill.Chen Feng let him go to trouble, as long as he has something to do, so as not to come to him often.

Chen Feng kept 300 bigu pills for himself, these are the trump cards to save his life.The more meticulous the work he does here, the more at ease he feels, and the earlier anxiety has gradually dissipated.

On the contrary, Chen Yuan found that the money in his safe had disappeared.

The servants in the entire building were interrogated, but nothing was found.Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to hoard some supplies.Without these capitals, his future can only depend on his cousin.

Things haven't been going well recently, he looked at the calendar, and when it's the first day of the new year, he wants to go to the Tianshi Temple to burn incense and turn his luck.

In Tianshi Temple, Jingsi was meditating in Shiqi's wing room. Ever since he heard the news of his master's death, he often went back to Tianshi Temple. The old Taoist Shiwu didn't care about him and let him stay with his master. in the wing.

Shiwu never touches his younger brother Shiqi's belongings, for fear of hurting the scene.

Everything here is still the same as it was when Taoist Shiqi left. It’s just that because of resentment, Jingsi sneaked in and stole many books and threw them away. The reason why he has not been discovered is that the master has already passed away. .

He also used rebellion like a child in exchange for his master's attention, and in the end he did not hesitate to betray the master because of it.

Earlier, as a Taoist priest who had received seal seals, he had practiced many runes, but because the young master was no longer around, and he was left unattended, many methods were already unfamiliar.

Jingsi in the wing room, meditating on one's own past.Meditate, cultivate your mind, and recite the scriptures.

Now that the inner demons have disappeared, instead his mind is clear, and he slowly picks up the homework that has been lagging behind. What he thinks is that the inheritance of the master's generation will be broken when he reaches him, and he will have no face to see his mentor under Jiuquan.

The morning light penetrated through the window lattice, and he opened his eyes. As the closed disciple of Taoist Shiqi, he has already learned the true teaching of Shiqi, but he has been inattentive in cultivation these days, which has caused his realm to stagnate.

Now pick it up again and practice in the master's room, as if the master is still by his side, teaching himself earnestly.

In the main hall, the Taoists were already doing morning lessons, he pushed open the door, first went in with a bucket of water, wiped the inside and outside of the wing, and then fetched a feather duster to dust off the beams.

There are high places that cannot be cleaned, so chairs are brought, folded up, and stood on, but there is a hole in the beam.The interface between the beam and the pillar is very inconspicuous. If he hadn't stood tall and had good eyesight, he would have missed it.

He reached out and touched it, and took out a small box.

After getting down to the ground, he cleaned his hands, closed the door, and carefully opened the box, which contained a piece of origami.

Open it and see a verse:
chatting,

Autumn drought and severe frost.

Yan lost his life,

Absolutely no human trace.

The last line is written in handwriting: It is a secret, my teacher fears that he will die soon. I am going to the south of the Yangtze River, and my heart is uneasy, which may be related to this gatha.I can't bear to destroy my teacher's hard work, and hide it here, waiting for someone who is destined to get it.

The gatha is in the handwriting of the master, and the handwriting below is clearly in the handwriting of his master Shiqi.His heart beat like a drum.

When the master went to Jiangnan for three years, the patriarch suddenly sat down. Is it because the truth has been revealed?He carefully put the note back, put the wooden box into the lining of his clothes and placed it next to his body.

Opening the door, he quickly went to the second floor to look for his uncle. The old Taoist Shiwu had a feeling in his heart, and he was already waiting for him outside the door.

Taoist Shiwu gave a "huh" as soon as he held the note, and looked at him quietly.

Taoist Shiwu pointed to the beginning of each sentence: "Read it again."

"Talk about Qiu Yanjue!" Jing Si was taken aback: "Is this a personal name?"

"Tan Qiuyan is from the Fengshan base. I remember she said that if I have something to do, I can go there to find her." A pair of siblings and the black cat appeared in Taoist Shiwu's mind. .

"Uncle, do you recognize her?" Jing Si looked at Taoist Shiwu.

Daoist Shiwu felt guilty, he not only recognized him, but also gave her all the treasures in the temple.At that time, I thought that Jingsi would never return to the temple in this lifetime, which is really a trick of luck.

"I know, this gatha..." Shiwu changed the subject, and looked at the paper again. The master had been close to Shiqi when he was still alive. At that time, the whole temple believed that Shiqi was the future abbot, even himself Think so too.

This is the first time he has seen this piece of paper. If the verse is taken literally, it means that Qiuyan will die after the autumn drought and severe frost.Does it refer to her, or a human being?
If it was just her alone, it would not be possible for a master with profound Taoism to die within three years after breaking through the secrets.

It is not a person, then it refers to human beings. It is already autumn drought, and the severe frost in the back refers to the upcoming extremely cold weather, so this verse is right.

Jingsi was stunned. If this meant that, if Tan Qiuyan died in the coldest time, then the human race would also be extinct. Now everyone is building underground fortresses. He is one of the confidants of the city lord, so he naturally knows. City R is well prepared.

However, it doesn't seem like a non-existent thing that the ancestor and the master valued this gatha so much.

"Master, I'm going to Fengshan Base, I want to see Tan Qiuyan with my own eyes." Jing Si made up her mind.

"Okay, I still have a little bit of noodle in front of Tan Qiuyan. I will write a letter in my hand, and you will take it with you, and bring a few juniors to take care of you on the way." Daoist Shi Wu said as he fetched paper.

"I have accepted the handwriting, so I don't need to bring it with me, I can find her myself." Since the generation of the ancestor master of Tianshi Temple, every generation of Taoists has to travel to the clouds.

He took a few steps back and bowed: "I also ask my uncle to take my name as my master again."
