Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

His goal has been achieved here, and I just fell asleep to the point where I just recited these few mantras.I have to say that the fight with Huang Daxian consumed a lot of my energy.

This sleep was extremely deep, until when it was almost dawn, a dazzling golden light shone on his face.It is summer now, even in the morning sun, it is hot and dazzling, and the birds in the jungle are chirping non-stop.I rubbed my eyes, and dimly saw that all the mountains and land in front of me had been coated with a layer of golden yellow, which was very eye-catching and unforgettable.

"Hey, look, is it worth it for us to stay here?" I stood up and stretched my waist, then turned to Qi Ling and asked.

He didn't answer, his face was brightly illuminated by the morning sun, but his expression at this moment was unusually solemn.I didn't care about what he was thinking, and my attention was completely attracted by the sunrise scenery on the mountain.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" I sighed sincerely, who said that staying here can't become a fairy?If you look at such a scenery every day, even if you don't live a long life, you probably won't have any regrets in your life!

Just as we were completely immersed in the beautiful scenery, the door of the Taoist temple was opened with a "squeak".The Taoist leader led the members of the practice group out to prepare for the morning class and practice. They were surprised to see us staying in the living room so early, their eyes were full of envy, and they probably thought it was us two young people Understand romance.

The old Taoist knew it well, so only his expression was calm.The three of us said nothing about what happened last night.After breakfast, Qi Ling asked the Taoist priest to say goodbye. The Taoist priest knew that we were anxious to find Fat Brother, so it was inconvenient to keep him.

I approached the leader of the practice group and said in a panic that I was unwell and wanted to go down the mountain for treatment.This reason is also reasonable, and it did not arouse any suspicion. Everyone met for a short time and said goodbye in a hurry.Before leaving, Brother Qi Ling also bought a lot of medicine from the Taoist priest. Since the Taoist priest had saved my life, I stuffed all the money in the bag into the merit box in front of him, praying in my heart that I would be able to recover as soon as possible. Find Fat Brother, and the money must be counted on him by then.

The old Taoist plucked his beard with satisfaction, then sent us out of the Guanmen in person, and warmly invited us to come back next time.I had no choice but to agree perfunctorily, thinking: "Although the scenery here is beautiful, it's just a bit expensive. I might not be able to afford it!"

On the way down the mountain, the more I thought about it, the more insecure I felt. I really don’t like the feeling of being empty-pocketed and penniless, and now it’s best to follow Brother Ling closely. If I get separated from him again, I will have to beg for food Back to Beijing.

To be on the safe side, I decided to ask him to borrow some cash and put it on me now.But it's really hard to talk about borrowing money from someone, let alone someone you like.First of all, they can't save face, and they are afraid of being rejected outright, then it will be very awkward for the two of them to get along with each other on the next journey.

I was thinking about how to speak, it must be neither humble nor overbearing, and it is best to use a joking tone, so that even if I am rejected, I can cover it up.

For this reason, I racked my brains and unconsciously slowed down.Seeing that I didn't keep up, brother Qi Ling looked back to see what I was muttering, so he walked back and asked with concern: "Are you tired?"

"No... not tired, I think..." Since I hadn't figured out how to speak, I became more nervous under his suspicious gaze, so I just said casually, "I want to drink some water."

"Yeah." After hearing this, he handed over the kettle.

I took the kettle, took a few sips, and cursed myself for being so cowardly!It's just to borrow some money first, and it's not like you won't pay it back. Is it so difficult to ask?

I have to admit that there is still a difference in treating him after all. If it is Fat Brother, I can just grab his wallet directly.But here with Zhang Qiling, I really can't do it.

"What are you thinking?" He came over without warning.

Under his probing eyes, I had no place to hide my thoughts, and even without thinking, I blurted out: "Want to borrow some money from you?"

He was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and then showed a slight smile with a triumphant expression, neither saying to borrow nor not to borrow.

I quickly explained: "The main thing is, I'm afraid I will get separated from you later, and I don't have any money to return..." I was so stared at by him that my face became hot, and my tone gradually lowered, feeling that I might be in his eyes. Like an idiot.

After raising his eyebrows, he put my water bottle back, and said calmly: "Then follow closely, don't get lost!" After speaking, he put his backpack back on his back and walked away.

"Hey, you haven't said whether to borrow it or not? Hey~ wait for me." Before the money was borrowed, I had to follow him closely, and I didn't dare to show any temper.

After going down the mountain, I packed a van and walked along the winding road to the middle of the mountain, which is the crescent-shaped central point.The view here is wide, and there are many farmlands and a large lotus pond in the distance.

The lotus in midsummer blooms very well, complementing the emerald green lotus leaves.I'm really lucky today, but after half a day's work, I have already seen two good scenery.

Brother Qiling was not as interested as I was. First he squatted down by the side of the lotus pond to test the depth of the water and mud inside.Standing up and looking at the mountains again, I don't know what I'm thinking?

I waited for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it, I took the initiative to move over and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Brother Qi Ling looked down at me, then pointed to the distance and said, "We have to cross the lotus pond and go to the opposite mountain."

"Walk over?" I thought to myself, looking at the dense lotus leaf bottom again, my scalp felt a little numb, and I automatically imagined the terrible things that might exist in the pool.The mood of admiring the scenery disappeared for a while.

"Let's go!" After speaking, he pulled out the lotus leaves and jumped down.Landed on a dilapidated boat.

"So there's a boat!" I leaned out, glanced at it, took Brother Ling's extended hand, and jumped on it.Although the boat is dilapidated, it is very shady and cool, and it is a good place to escape the summer heat. It is a pity that we have to hurry and have no time to lie on this dilapidated boat and steal a life.

Brother Qi Ling grabbed two lotus pods and handed them to me, saying, "You can take a rest." After speaking, he propped up the pole and opened the way ahead.I looked at his back, my heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly turned my head away.Peel off a lotus seed, remove the lotus heart and throw it into your mouth.

A sweet taste diffused from the mouth, that soft and glutinous feeling made me happy, just like the feeling in my heart.It can really be said: "The lotus flower surpasses the head, and the lotus seeds are as clear as water." It is a true portrayal.I don't know how many people have gotten such considerateness from him?

Thinking of this, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth. I thought it was because Lian Xin hadn't been picked clean, so I swallowed it reluctantly.Gratitude to Wu Xie rose in his heart again, if he hadn't insisted on arranging this time alone, maybe this kind of opportunity would never come again in the future.

Then I sighed slightly, and he turned his head to meet my gaze, and then plunged the pole into the pool, stopping the boat.We should now walk to the center of the pool, surrounded by frogs and cicadas.

"What's wrong?" I asked suspiciously.

"Let me teach you a method to get rid of external interference." He said to me meaningfully.

"So he thought that I was disturbed by these noises, and I couldn't rest well?" I could have explained clearly, but seeing his sincerity and couldn't bear to refuse, I had to follow his words and asked, "What method?"

Seeing that I was willing to learn, he found a place to sit cross-legged and said, "Relax your whole body, make fists with both hands, close your mouth, and breathe naturally through your nose."

I was dumbfounded when I heard it, but seeing that he was teaching very seriously, I had no choice but to learn it. At the same time, I guessed that maybe the old Taoist priest secretly taught him the method of health preservation for the sake of his big money.

"After taking a deep breath, I feel that my lungs are full of air. Pause for a few seconds, and exhale all the air stored in my nose and lungs. When I exhale, my dantian bulges up. I want all the true qi in my body to flow into my dantian until When you can't fit it, you start to relax and try to keep the time longer."

He taught very seriously, and I learned quickly.In fact, when you really relax, your mind goes blank.I felt the noise around me gradually receding, he patted my shoulder and signaled to continue, and then the boat swayed through the lotus bushes again, and I used the breathing method he taught, and I got real peace of mind and body .

After docking, my spirit improved a lot, as if all the negative energy and worrying about gains and losses in my body were eliminated.I looked back at the lotus flowers in the dusk. Their meaning in Buddhism is to purify and eliminate impurities.And I understand that it is not the lotus in the pond that really saves me, but Zhang Qiling, who calmly dispelled my demons.

"It's getting dark, we have to find a place to spend the night tonight." He looked up at the sky, then at the faint smoke rising from the distant mountains, and gestured to me to start.The village is quite far from here, we have to speed up.

When I was on my way, I didn't forget to be distracted to watch the sunset, so that I was delayed for some time.After crossing the mountain stream and climbing up the path on the mountainside, a crisp bell came from behind.

We stopped at the same time and looked back curiously.The sound of the bell was getting closer and closer, and not long after, a big buffalo emerged from the corner at the end of the road, and the sound of the bell came from the small bell hanging around its neck.There is also a little boy about ten years old sitting on the back of the buffalo.

Brother Qiling glanced at me and then at the child, probably already having an idea in his heart.We stood where we were, waiting for the cow and the man to approach slowly.The child had already spotted us from a long distance away, and he was very surprised, and quickly jumped off the bull's back and ran towards us.ask:

"Where are you two from?"

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately this child can speak Mandarin.Brother Qi Ling squatted down and replied kindly: "Little friend, we are lost and we want to find a place to rest for the night. Can you lead the way?"

The author has something to say:

Are you going to speed up the pace?
