The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 142 Old Zhu
When I saw the head at the bottom of my feet, I broke out in a cold sweat, but I quickly regained my composure.

I took a closer look and found that it was indeed a head, but it was not just a head, but someone stood there upside down, with their head on the ground.

Chen Anbang also found it at this time, and after looking at me, he planned to bend down to try this man's breath.

It stands to reason that this must be a corpse, but his face is warm but not like a dead person.

Just as Chen Anbang bent down, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and then he turned upside down and stood up.

He slapped his nose with his hand, and said: "You two little babies' feet really stink, it woke me up."

Naturally, I knew he was joking and looked directly at his face.This is an old man, who should be about the same age as grandpa.

For some reason, looking at his face covered with old wrinkles, I always feel familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered where I had seen it before.

Zhu Xuanwu, he looks very similar to Zhu Xuanwu, the head of the Zhu family in Jinling.

But Zhu Xuanwu is only middle-aged, so this person is very likely to be his father, Zhu Laoba!

Although I have never met Zhu Laoba, Song Youwei mentioned him when Qin Changfeng organized his grandfather and his team to go to the Kunlun Imperial Mausoleum. Zhu Laoba was one of the members of the team The treasurer.

Treasure-holding people hold back the rare treasures of heaven and earth, and don't hold back anything that is not a treasure, and their style of behavior is extremely strange. The old man in front of him is standing upside down and hiding behind the statue of the Dragon King, which fits perfectly.

But shouldn't Mr. Zhu be at Zhu's house in Jinling, and when did he hide in the Dragon King Temple in Longjing Village?Didn't Zhang Longhu say that their Yangguan formation has never detected anyone entering?Could it be that he got in with us?
Letting go of my doubts, I pretended not to know him, and clasped my fists: "Is this old man a villager in Longjing Village? We don't intend to disturb you. Can you keep this secret for us?"

Zhu Laoba tilted his mouth, and said: "You have no eyes, I am a suave old man, how can I be like Lu Ban to teach this group of mud legs that are difficult to be elegant?"

I pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah? Old man, you were not taught by Lu Ban? But isn't it true that outsiders can't enter Longjing Village? Could it be that the old man got in among our team?"

Zhu Laoba curled his lips at me again, and said disdainfully: "You mixed up with you? You really know how to put gold on your face. I have been here for three years. Anyone who sees this well and eats it More than you guys!"

I was stunned, Zhu Laoba has been in Longjing Village for three years and has not been discovered?

I don't know why Zhu Laoba is willing to tell us these things, but since he is willing to talk, I might as well ask more.

So I immediately said aggressively: "Old man, don't bluff me. The dense forest outside Longjing Village is full of formations. I believe you have a way to break through the formations, but it is impossible not to be discovered."

Zhu Laoba shook his head and sneered: "Ignorance, really ignorance! Such a big Taoist temple can appear in Longjing Village, but I can't get in by such a small person? The five sons of Maoshan have been here for several years, and they have not been discovered? Why? , old man, am I worse than those Maoshan Taoist priests? I came in after those stinky Taoist priests, didn’t they also notice me?”

Zhu Laoba's words verified Chen Anbang's previous guess that the Taoist temple in the village really belonged to Maoshan.

I continued to follow his words and said excitedly: "Unbelievable, unbelievable! Maoshan is worthy of being the master of Taoism. He appeared in Longjing Village without anyone noticing, and brought such a large Taoist temple. It is a miracle! In this way, The old man came here under the influence of the Maoshan Taoist priest, so I can understand it."

Zhu Laoba raised his foot and kicked me, saying: "Damn, what a shit miracle. They didn't come from the sky, and they didn't come from the ground. Where do you think they came from?"

I seem to have guessed the answer vaguely, but Zhu Laoba continued to sneer: "Isn't it just crawling in from the stinking ditch! As for the Taoist temple, do you really think they brought it in? Isn't it because there are some Luban teachers who are disgusted?" Those who climbed outside colluded with Maoshan and helped them build it overnight!"
