Chapter 172. [Case 21] Amulet

Situ’s finger pointed at Fotuguan. This is a place that I have wanted to go to many times, but never had the chance to go. Growing up in Chongqing, all Chongqing people know the existence of Fotuguan. It is one of the few existing places.

The ruins in the city can be regarded as witnessing many turbulent years in Chongqing's history. Fotuguan was originally called Futuguan. It is said that during the war, many people died and the pagoda was built, hence the name. Earlier, during the war,

When I was in Shawu Dao, I also learned some rumors about Fotuguan from Fu Yunni, but I have never been able to witness it in person. Now Situ clearly told us that there is a chance to go, but

I felt a little timid because of this.

Situ probably noticed what was on my mind, so he asked me, "What are you thinking about and why are you so distracted?" I shook my head in panic and denied it, saying that I was just calculating how far away we were from death. After I said my embarrassing lie

I laughed a few times. Situ looked at me without saying anything. At this time, Master Tiesongzi suddenly said in a strange voice on the sofa on the side, you damn old man, don’t talk endlessly, since you have called these two young people here.

, you have prepared the things, then give them to them.

I turned to look at Master Tiesongzi on the sofa. He still looked listless, as if the cold had made him, an expert in metaphysics, quite miserable. Hu Zongren asked doubtfully, "What do you want?"

Give it to us? Situ turned around and left, walked to his room, and closed the door. I asked Master Tiesongzi puzzledly, what does Mr. Situ want to give us? Tie Songzi said, you guys have been weathering the wind and rain during this period.

Go, contact us less and less. A few days ago I was telling Situ, you are actually afraid of injuring us two old people, so you deliberately avoid us, right? I didn't answer, but turned to look

Hu Zongren. Hu Zongren smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Of course I'm sorry. I caused the trouble myself. I can't let you two run around with me. Do you know that the Xuanyuan Society guys really didn't do anything to me?"

When people look at you and you don't give me any time to rest, how can you two stand up to this?

Tiesongzi snorted and said, if Situ and I were twenty years younger, who would dare to mess with the Xuanyuan Society? It’s because we are old, and those little Taoist priests who couldn’t even pronounce their names in the past would

Now that you have come out to act like the boss, who are you pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Master Tiesongzi’s voice is as soft as ever, but there is a sense of pride in it. Indeed, the golden age of metaphysics in the southwest has passed, and Situ and Tiesongzi have finally caught up.

, but at the same time, we also encountered those natural and man-made disasters that have never happened in a century. This is probably the saying that God requires balance. It has given you great abilities, but also given you a period of helplessness.

Master Tiesongzi went on to say, the last time Xiao Hu came to get rid of the paw print on his wrist, Situ and I had already decided that the matter between you two is our matter. In terms of age, we will count you as your grandfather.

Friendship We can be considered to have a deep revolutionary friendship. Moreover, since everyone knew about the incident in Cha Wudao last year, everyone on the road knows about the relationship between you two and us. If a child misbehaves, he will naturally be spanked.

But it’s not anyone else’s turn to fight! Master Tiesongzi’s words were very heroic. Although he was over seventy years old, his arrogance made my blood boil and I was suddenly filled with hope. Originally, in such a passionate moment, everyone

We were all so excited, but who knew that Hu Zongren suddenly said to Master Tiesongzi, yes, Persimmon picks on the weak, thinking that we are juniors who are easy to bully, and they don’t even look down on my own mentor.

, it is indeed too much! He paused and said, although I, Hu Zongren, am not a decent person, I will not spank anyone who says I will spank! So many seniors are friends with us, and they bully me, how can this be?

You're spanking me, I'm just slapping you in the face!

In fact, I understood what Hu Zongren meant, but there was something wrong with the expression. Tiesongzi held back his laughter and said to Hu Zongren, "You mean, our faces are almost the same as your butts, right?" Hu Zongren felt that he had made a mistake, but

He didn't know how to save the situation, so he smiled innocently and scratched his head, looking like he was mentally retarded.

While talking, Situ walked out of the room. Situ had been living alone before Tie Songzi moved here, and Tie Songzi would go out for a wander every now and then. He only stayed at Situ's house after arriving in Chongqing. Situ walked straight to the edge of the sofa

, sat down next to Master Tiesongzi, stretched out his right hand, and held a small triangle wrapped in velvet fabric with a smile between his index and middle fingers. The three sides of the triangle were tied with bright yellow cotton thread, like a rice dumpling.

Situ handed the thing in his hand to Hu Zongren, and then said to him, there are two things here, one of which is a Taoist talisman, used to save life. If you encounter a danger that is really difficult to survive, you must find a way to remove it, burn it and drink it.

Even if the situation is urgent and you don't have time to burn it, even if you chew it raw, you still have to swallow this talisman in your stomach! Hu Zongren saw Situ's serious expression. Since he had given him something to save his life, he must have realized it.

Next, Hu Zongren and I will encounter much more trouble than we previously expected. Situ then said, the other one is a blank rune paper with a word on it. It is a plan, but before we encounter any danger,

, do not open it. If this matter can be resolved smoothly, return this cloth bag to me when it is safe.

I have seen the story of giving advice on many TV shows, the most famous one is Zhuge Liang. Of course, Master Situ is not as clever as Zhuge Liang, but in the final analysis, the two of them are from the same clan. Situ is an old Taoist priest who worships

Xuanyuan Huangdi, and although Zhuge Liang is not a real Taoist priest, he also learned the art of Qimen Dunjia because he married Huang Yueying, a descendant of Huangdi. Speaking of it, there is still a connection. But seeing that Situ only gave it to Hu Zongren,

I was still a little unhappy, so I asked Situ, why don't you give me one? Although I am helping Hu Zongren, I am in danger every time. What if I die? Situ is cunning.

He glanced at me sideways, and then said reassuringly, "You can't die, you are as smart as a monkey."

Although his implication was that I was much smarter than Hu Zongren, which made me relieved a lot, saying that I was as smart as a monkey didn’t seem like a compliment. In the following time,

Situ also discussed with us a lot of the details and rules of the layout of the four mythical beasts on the map, and even based on his own inference, he accurately calculated the possibility of our attacks at the Qinglong position and the middle Fotu Pass. Although most of us

I didn't quite understand what I heard, but I was once again impressed by the profound knowledge of this old Taoist priest who couldn't even use a computer.

If you get serious, time will pass very quickly. Because Master Tiesongzi was ill, when we entered a new round of discussion, he went back to the house to sleep. When Situ was tired, he looked at the time.

It was already approaching four o'clock in the morning. For a person of Situ's age, staying up late would do no good at all, so he also went back to the house to sleep. What is worth noting is that, probably to avoid our guessing, he actually fell asleep.

We walked into the guest room. That room was Fu Yunni’s room when we fled last year. Situ tried to conceal it, but Hu Zongren and I couldn’t help but laugh.

That night, Hu Zongren and I fell asleep on the sofa immediately. Normally, I might have been thinking too much and couldn't sleep, but with the support of Situ and Tiesongzi, I felt a lot more at ease. Because Situ was returning to the room.

Before, I said meaningfully, Tiesongzi and I treat you two as our own children. If you have anything to say, just ask. If we don't change our old bones, we will probably be able to follow these bones and become...

Gray! So, old men are not scary, but those who are itchy and want to cause trouble, such as Situ and Tiesongzi, are scary.

The next morning we woke up very early and actually didn’t have a good rest. Situ and Tiesongzi had very regular schedules, because Hu Zongren and I were basically surrounded by Master Tiesongzi singing folk songs and waving the spatula.

I was woken up by the sound of eggs being scrambled in the pot. After breakfast, Hu Zongren and I left Situ's house at around 8 o'clock. Before leaving, Situ emphasized to us once again that we are not afraid of trouble, but of trouble.

Don't bother us. With an old man as his backer, Hu Zongren seems to be much more energetic. He, who is usually unwilling to be a driver, actually asked him to drive, so I can take a rest.

We arrived at Hutouyan according to the location in Hu Zongren’s information. Although I have been to that road before, it was many years ago. The university has disappeared. There are many more stores on the originally quiet road.

After finding a place to park the car, Hu Zongren and I asked pedestrians on the roadside how to get to such and such a supermarket. Just like that, we quickly found that supermarket.

This is a relatively large supermarket with many branches in Chongqing. It is famous for its freshness and complete variety. It is a domestic brand. Unlike international hypermarkets such as Wal-Mart or Carrefour, this local supermarket is more down-to-earth.

It has more of a flavor that Chinese people are accustomed to. The red clothes of the supermarket employees look particularly eye-catching, and they all look like they have been injected with chicken blood. Most of them are middle-aged women. At this time, most of the people visiting the supermarket are of this age.

The flow of people coming in and out of the small doorway can explain all this. Hu Zongren walked to a small cigarette stand nearby and bought a pack of cigarettes. Only then did we realize that because of the busy work these days, we

Suddenly, his craving for cigarettes became much stronger. Standing in front of the supermarket and smoking, Hu Zongren took out his phone and called the number on the message.
