After hearing the old Taoist's words, Zhang Xudong suddenly remembered what his uncle had said, and asked:
"Master Dao, did you go to Hong Kong City more than ten years ago and get injured there and be rescued by someone?"
After hearing this, the old Taoist suddenly understood. He looked at Zhang Xudong with a bit of surprise and said:
"Did Lin Jincheng tell you that?
This Lin Nandu is Lin Jincheng's son.
I met him a few times when I lived with them eleven years ago, and he was a nice young man.
How did you get in touch with them? Your old lady’s surname is also Lin. Is there any relationship between your family and them?
Zhang Xudong did not hide anything and talked about the relationship between them.
The old Taoist thought for a moment and frowned before saying, "Then what do you think?
Are you going to let your grandma live there? The conditions there are indeed much better.
What are you going to do? Are you going to live there?
If you leave, it will have a huge impact on our plans."
Zhang Xudong shook his head and said:
"As for where my grandmother lives, I will respect her choice.
But please rest assured that our focus will still be on domestic markets.
I'll only go to Hong Kong from time to time, I won't live there permanently."
The old Taoist sighed and said, "That puts my mind at ease.
However, your relationship must be kept secret. Now that you have overseas connections, it will have a significant impact on you."
Zhang Xudong smiled bitterly and thought to himself, of course I have to pay attention to this.
Having overseas connections now will only have an impact on personal development.
Having overseas connections in a few years could be fatal.
"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter.
But how did you get injured in Hong Kong?" Zhang Xudong changed the subject.
"Oh, don't mention it. That happened when the country was first founded.
We hear about a bunch of kids looking for some treasure in Southeast Asia.
These treasures were buried by the Japanese when they retreated in the late stages of the war.
After we got the news, we immediately went to stop them, but who knew that several groups of people would get involved.
As a result, the treasure was not found, and several gangs fought each other to the death.
We first joined forces to kill those Japanese devils, and then we started fighting each other for the treasure map.
In the end, we killed and injured those gangs and got the treasure map.
However, among the six people who went, only I escaped to the port city with injuries, and the others stayed in the dense forest.
Since then, our masters can be said to have been completely lost.
I don't think we have the strength to look for that treasure.
In order to avoid trouble, he concealed the treasure map after returning.
After that, we were busy with our own affairs every day.
There is even less energy and manpower to take care of whether things exist or not.
Now, I'm old and don't want to bother with those things anymore.
I'll leave this to you. If you have time, go and see it. If not, just keep it as a souvenir."
As the old Taoist said this, he took out a piece of folded soft sheepskin from his storage bag and handed it to Zhang Xudong.
"Master, do these treasures really exist?" Zhang Xudong asked.
"I think so. The Japanese plundered a large amount of gold, silver, treasures, and cultural relics and antiques from Southeast Asian countries.
They even stripped off the gold plating from the Buddha statues, as well as the roofs and pillars of temples and monasteries.
Do you think the wealth they have accumulated could be less?
That was an unimaginable amount of wealth, and they didn’t have time to transport it back home.”
The old Taoist sighed after he finished speaking, and seemed a little unwilling.
Zhang Xudong looked at the map and said, "Now that we have a map, shouldn't it be easier to find it?"
The old Taoist said to Zhang Xudong with a wry smile, "How can there be a detailed map in that rain forest?
This map is just an approximate location.
Everything within a radius of more than one or two hundred miles looks similar.
There are various dangers inside, such as snakes, insects, rats, ants, plagues, etc., and you can get trapped in them if you are not careful.
So if you want to go, you have to be well prepared and don’t be careless.”
Zhang Xudong nodded and said:
"Okay, I understand. We can't worry about these uncertainties right now. Let's talk about them later."
When do you plan to go to Beidu?"
The old Taoist said, "The sooner the better. I'll be leaving soon. It would be best if I could report to you tonight."
After hearing this, Zhang Xudong immediately ran to the inner room.
After a while, he brought out three five-jin wine jars and three small porcelain bottles.
"Master, here are three jars of monkey wine, one for each of you and the two gentlemen.
These three small porcelain bottles contain my homemade health-preserving pills, one bottle for each person.
Drinking a cup of monkey wine at noon and at night is good for sleep.
Taking one pill of this health-preserving pill in the morning can help nourish your body.
Please help me take them to these two old people."
"Dongzi, I, the old Taoist priest, can say that I am open-hearted to you.
Why are you bringing out these goodies only now?
How can you have a clear conscience when you drink secretly?"
The old Taoist complained while looking at the monkey wine, as if he wanted to drink it but was reluctant to open it.
Zhang Xudong shook his head speechlessly, then went back to the inner room and brought out an opened jar of wine.
He poured two bowls of monkey wine, handed one to the Taoist priest and said:
"Come on, Taoist, let's clink our glasses together as a farewell to you."
The old Taoist picked up the bowl and drank it all in one breath. He picked up the jar and poured the wine while muttering:
