At this moment, in Xu Jianguo's eyes, there was no corpse in the tomb of the old Taoist Xuanyuan, but instead there was a black box the size of a palm.
Funiu seemed to notice something was wrong with Xu Jianguo and asked, "Haha, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go back!"
"Yeah!" Funiu nodded vigorously.
Xu Jianguo carried Funiu into the village and calmly put the black box into the space.
When Xu Jianguo returned to the village, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. This sudden scene made Funiu, who was originally in a low mood, happy.
Xu Jianguo put her on the ground. The little girl ran around in front of him, constantly stretching out her little hands to catch the snowflakes, and a long-lost smile appeared on her cute little face.
"Funiu, when the snow gets heavier, I'll take you to build a snowman, okay?" Xu Jianguo said.
Funiu was stunned and asked, "Haha, what is a snowman?"
"Making a snowman means making snowballs out of snow, and then using the snowballs to shape a human. It's fun!"
"Okay, okay, I want to build a snowman!" Funiu said with a red face, clapping her hands.
The brother and sister returned home chatting and laughing. As soon as they opened the gate, they saw Xiao Hei jumping around in the yard, constantly opening his mouth to bite the snowflakes falling from the air.
Seeing Xu Jianguo and Funniu entering the yard, Xiao Hei hurried over and rubbed Funniu with its big black head, making the little girl giggle.
The two people and the dog returned to the house. Xu Jianguo heated a cup of milk for Funiu and fed Xiaohei some dog food.
After drinking the milk, Funiu ran to the main room, opened the door and looked into the yard. Xu Jianguo looked at the anxious look of the little girl and knew that she was thinking about making a snowman.
After a while, the little girl seemed to lose her patience. She looked at Xu Jianguo with a pout and said, "Haha, when can we build a snowman?"
"We have to wait until the snow gets heavier!"
"oh……"
"Funiu, you got up so early in the morning. Why don't you sleep a little longer? Maybe when you wake up, we can build a snowman!"
"Haha, is that true?" Funiu became energetic again when she heard it.
"Well, it's possible!" Xu Jianguo touched her head and said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll go to bed now!"
"Be good and go to sleep!"
I carried Funiu to the kang and helped her take off her coat. The little girl lay down in the quilt, closed her eyes obediently, and fell asleep in a short while.
Xu Jianguo looked at the gloomy sky outside, took out the deerskin boots he had made for the little girl from the cabinet, and also found the rabbit fur gloves and hat, thinking that he could wear them later if the snow got heavier.
While Funiu was asleep, Xu Jianguo took out the palm-sized black box from the space. It was a wooden box without any patterns or decorations on the surface. It was very heavy to hold and no one knew what wood it was made of.
Opening the wooden box, he found a piece of white silk cloth inside. Xu Jianguo unfolded the cloth and discovered that it was actually a letter written to himself: "My dear Jianguo, I am writing to you! I believe you already know the identity of Mingzhen's reincarnated soul boy..."
The letter was not long, and the main idea was simple and clear. It basically answered all the guesses in Xu Jianguo's mind and let Xu Jianguo know the ins and outs of the whole matter.
It turns out that the Qingyun Temple where the old Taoist Xuanyuan is located is where all the authentic Taoist classics of the Longxia Kingdom are stored. It can be said to be the foundation of Taoism and is equivalent to a national library.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a Taoist master deduced the news that a Taoist spirit boy would be reincarnated with the secret of immortality. He also deduced that Taoism and Buddhism would encounter a catastrophe in more than ten years. The root of the catastrophe came from the rebellious ministers in the temple who coveted the secret of immortality. If plans were not made early, Taoism and Buddhism would probably lose their thousands of years of inheritance.
In addition, the Taoist masters also calculated that there was a reincarnated person in Sandaliang Village. As long as they met him at a specific time and entrusted the spiritual child to him, they could protect the spiritual child.
Later, as more and more powerful people from Taoism and Buddhism joined in, a huge plan came into being.
All Taoist temples and monasteries in the entire Longxia country moved all their books and items that could be used as inheritance to a secret place in order to cope with the impending catastrophe. The key to unlocking this place is Fu Niu, who possesses the blood of a spiritual child. As for the method of unlocking it, the letter did not say.
Just three years ago, Xuanyuan found Fu Niu based on his calculations, and then brought her back to Qingyun Temple for training.
However, just when everyone thought that everything had been arranged, Qingyun Temple suddenly suffered a devastating disaster. Countless men in black armed with hot weapons fell from the sky, trying to capture the little girl Funiu. Xuanyuan was seriously injured in order to protect his little disciple. He risked his life to take her and his eldest disciple Mingkong to escape from Qingyun Temple through the secret passage.
The master and his two disciples fled all the way and finally decided to go their separate ways. Xuanyuan gave Mingkong a map with a secret place marked on it, and told him the direction to escape, where he should wait for the person who would tell him the secret, etc.
This can also explain why Xu Jianguo found Mingkong's bones in the tree hole, and the dilapidated Taoist temple in the Mihun Pond of Wawu Mountain should be the place where Taoism and Buddhism used to hide their own heritage.
The figure that Xu Jianguo saw on the map at that time was most likely the Taoist master that Xuanyuan mentioned.
After Xuanyuan and Mingkong parted ways, he brought Funiu to Sandaliang Village based on the results of his calculations. Finally, he met Xu Jianguo and entrusted Funiu to him.
Later, Xuanyuan was rescued by Li Mancang and his men, but he fell into a state of suspended animation due to his serious injuries. Just three days after he was buried, he was rescued by people from the Taoist sect. Before leaving, he left this letter to Xu Jianguo, but did not say where he was going.
Finally, Xuanyuan told Xu Jianguo to be careful, because he suspected that someone had deliberately revealed the plans of Taoism and Buddhism to the people in the temple, which led to the disaster of Qingyun Temple.
The location of the secret place is only known by the four great men in Buddhism and Taoism, so there is no need to worry. Xu Jianguo just needs to take good care of Funniu. As for whether Funniu will go there in the future and use her own blood to start the inheritance, it is entirely up to her to decide.
The content of the letter ended here. On the surface, the whole story had been figured out, but a bigger doubt arose in Xu Jianguo's heart!
Where did the old Taoist priest go?
What is the so-called mystery of immortality?
How to use Funiu's spiritual child bloodline?
