Bone Picker

Chapter 164 Clearing the Portal
The old Taoist is called Zhu Zhihan, but I don't know if it's his real name or his Taoist name.

His funeral was held on the third day, and I presided over it.

Because although these apprentices of his are Taoist priests, they belong to close relatives, which is not allowed in custom, and can only be presided over by Taoist priests outside.

Although I am not a Taoist priest, I know how to perform these rituals. My grandfather also performed such rituals before, and I started as an apprentice, so I am familiar with the procedures.

Relevant scriptures will also be available, and it will save you from having to hire someone again.

According to the custom, some clothes and favorite things of the old Taoist priests are to be buried in the coffin.

So these apprentices put the Taoist robes, some clothes, and some belongings that the old Taoist had used before into the coffin.

Then Zibuyu took me to the cave in the back mountain, which is the place where the old Taoist usually retreats.

It was a small cave. The cave was formed naturally. There must have been a mountain spring flowing down from the top of the mountain to wash out the cave.

But later the mountain spring dried up, and there was no more water flowing down, and the cave could be lived in.

There is a natural stone bed in the cave, the stone bed is above the river bank, higher than the river bank, and at this time the mountain spring has dried up, the remaining underground river is also small, and the water level cannot cover the stone bed at all.

There is a mat on the stone bed, and there is a pillow on the mat.

This pillow was used by an old Taoist priest for meditation.

This time we came up to collect the mats and pillows, and put them in the coffin for burial together. After all, they were used by the old Taoist priest during his lifetime.

Zibuyu leaped lightly and flew onto the stone bed.

He picked up the pillow and smelled it lightly with his nose. There was his master's breath on it, which was a kind of nostalgia.

After a while, he put down the pillow and rolled up the mat.

When the cool blanket was finished, he wanted to get down, but he seemed to see something on the bed, and his attention was instantly attracted.

What followed was that his brows were wrinkled, and he even used drugs to look carefully.

I also quickly flew up, I wonder what he saw?
I looked towards the middle of the stone bed, and thought it was some kind of martial arts secret book.

I don't want to have only four words, and a part of it is covered with dust.

Zibuyu stretched out his hand and swept away the dust on the stone bed.

When he saw these four words clearly, not only he, but even I was taken aback.

Clear the portal!

The impact of these four words is not insignificant.

Although the words are small, the content contained is simply too explosive.

The meaning of these four words is very straightforward, that is, there is a rebellion in the teacher's door, and it needs to be cleaned up.

But there are also many questions.

First of all, must these four characters be left by the old Taoist priest Zhu Zhihan?
If so, it means that the Bagua Sect really has a traitor.

So, who are the seven senior brothers?
It is absolutely impossible to be silent.

Which are the remaining six?
And since the old Taoist knew that there was a traitor, why didn't he clean it up himself, but left a note?

The only possibility is that the old Taoist has lost the ability to clean up this traitor.

Zibuyu came to my place, and it didn't matter just a few months.

I believe that when Zibuyu was still in the master's school, the old Taoist priest should still be fine.

At that time, even if the old Taoist was defeated alone, he would definitely be able to win if he called on other apprentices to join him.

I took a look at it for the first time, and the seven senior brothers are all above profound masters, and the one with the highest cultivation level is definitely the senior senior brother. Although he was seriously injured and his internal strength was also lacking, I can feel that his aura is very strong. I can be threatening.

The next thing is Zibuyu. Although he is the seventh child, Zibuyu is talented and intelligent, and he has reached the middle and high level of Xuanshi at a young age.

The cultivation bases of the other senior brothers are basically at the elementary to intermediate level.

Now it seems that the only person who can pose a threat to the old Taoist priest is the elder brother who does not return.

But the elder brother has been guarding the mountain, and he was seriously injured when he came back.

Looking at the reactions of other senior brothers, I respect this senior senior brother very much.

Could this elder brother be a traitor?
If it was a traitor, what interests did he betray the master?
What Baguamen can call its core interests are the same things as our Li family, that is, the one-third of the treasure map, as well as the treasure locations and hills marked on the treasure map.

I came back to my senses and looked at Zibuyu, only to see that Zibuyu was stunned.

Obviously he hasn't reacted yet, or was overwhelmed by these four words.

These four words not only gave him a lot of information, but also made him very uncomfortable.

No matter who the other six senior brothers betrayed the master, he couldn't accept it.

He estimated that he was speculating one by one to see which senior brother was most likely to be.

Before I could react, Zibuyu pulled out the Seven Star Sword and scratched at these four characters until the four characters were rubbed off so that they could not be seen at all.

He suddenly raised his head to look at me, and said with a straight face: "Secret it for me, I want to investigate secretly."

"En." I nodded heavily.

After finishing speaking, Zibuyu hugged the mat and pillow, flew out directly, and left the cave.

I hurried to catch up.

Although this is a family matter of the Bagua Sect, I must help Zibuyu.

This guy has helped me a lot. With his ability alone, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to complete this task, and even his life may be in danger.

The most important thing is that this matter is also a part of the mission.

The mission is a complete treasure map, Baguamen and my family each account for one-third, and are the inheritors of the mission.

Therefore, it is reasonable for me to take care of this matter, and it is not considered to be nosy.

It's just like the old Taoist priest sent Zibuyu to my house to support me.

Zibuyu kept a straight face and lowered his head slightly, as if he was sad.

He put a pillow under the old Taoist's head, and then covered the old Taoist with a mat.

After all the belongings were put in, several layers of quilts were covered. These quilts were all covered by the old Taoist priests during his lifetime.

Then the coffin was sealed and ready to be carried into the mountains for burial.

According to regulations, burials are not allowed now, only cremation.

But Baguamen is located in the Giant Panda Nature Reserve, and has little contact with the outside world, and the outside world doesn't care too much, so the burial was done secretly.

The mountain where the tomb is located is said to have been selected by the old Taoist priest before his death. He found the dragon and ordered the tomb by himself.

The ceremony was relatively simple, and no outsiders came to see him off anyway.

The four apprentices carried the coffin, the senior brother carried the portrait, and the others went about their own business, while their wives and children mourned the funeral.

The funeral went well.

The seven brothers worked together and quickly buried the old Taoist priest.

But although the old Taoist left, he left a blockbuster for these apprentices.

I have a hunch that the final outcome of this gossip gate will not be good either.

Hey!
