    The sound of laughter really startled Zhao Ran. It was late at night and there was no one on the hill. Zhao Ran was suddenly so frightened that his hair stood on end, his breathing was not smooth, and he almost suffocated.

    Zhao Ran turned around stiffly, and in front of him was an old man with gray hair and beard.  The old Taoist was wearing a dirty Taoist robe and a pair of soft-soled Taoist shoes. Zhao Ran had excellent eyesight and could see at a glance two greasy big toes protruding from the breach in the Taoist shoes, with their toenails still stuffed.  Mud.

    Zhao Ran had met this Taoist priest before. He was a Taoist priest who stayed at Yunshui Hall in the guest room. Zhao Ran bumped into Yu Zhiyuan a few days ago when he went to write. Yu Zhiyuan said he was a Taoist from Huguang.  Zhao Ran had only seen him once. This old Taoist didn't go to the dining hall to eat at meal time, and he never went anywhere on weekdays. Zhao Ran had almost forgotten about him, but he didn't want to meet him here.

    Since it was neither a demon nor a ghost, Zhao Ran's fear subsided, and instead he became resentful and said angrily: "You old cow nose, you don't know anything, you don't even know when you come, you come here to scare people, you know.  Don¡¯t you know this is dangerous? It will scare people to death!¡±

    The old Taoist bent down and laughed for a while, waving his hands repeatedly: "Don't blame me, fellow Taoist, it's really a poor Taoist, haha, I just bumped into it by chance, I really couldn't help laughing, but it was not intentional. Don't blame me!"

    Seeing that the other party was apologizing, Zhao Ran didn't feel sorry for himself. Besides, the other party seemed to be in a desperate situation, but he was always a serious Taoist priest with ultimatums. He was incomparable with others, so he calmed down his anger and just said bitterly: "I am at ease."  This practice is not your business, so what¡¯s so funny about it?¡±

    The old Taoist couldn't help but burst into laughter again, and said: "Haha, I wonder what kind of method my little Taoist friend is practicing. Why don't you tell me that it will be revealed so that I can gain some knowledge?"

    Zhao Ran knew his family background, so of course he couldn't say it out loud, so he just hummed and covered it up in asides.  It wasn't that he was afraid that the old man would take advantage of his wealth and try to steal his treasure.  Observing his words and expressions, Zhao Ran didn't see anything about this old Taoist being a master. Judging from his slovenly appearance and appearance of a beggar, he was probably just a wandering Taoist who was eating and drinking.

    There are a group of people like this in Taoist sects. Due to chance, they got the official ultimatum, but they have no ability and are extremely lazy. Taking advantage of the convenience of being able to place orders in various Taoist temples, they travel around and eat and drink for free all their lives.  When Yu Zhiyuan talked about the origin of this veteran, he also had a look of disdain, so Zhao Ran didn't take him seriously either.

    "It's just that it's not easy to publicize things like having treasures. If word gets out and the prison hospital asks him to hand it over immediately, do you think he will hand it over or not?"

    Zhao Ran didn¡¯t want to show off the thin rope, but the old Taoist had been watching it for a long time, so he smiled and said, "I saw that my little fellow Taoist seemed to be trying out a treasure, but it was just this rope in his hand? Can I take a look at it?"

    Zhao Ran deliberately interrupted: "It's nothing precious, just a rope. By the way, what's the old Taoist's name? Don't call me Taoist friend anymore. I can't afford it. Now I'm just a squatter."

    The old Taoist chuckled: "The poor Taoist surnamed Zhang Why do Taoist cultivators care about their status? If you have Taoism in your heart, you are a fellow Taoist. There is no difference between you and me. Is the little Taoist friend holding a rope really a rope? Just be patient.  , I have traveled all over the country, what good things have I not seen? I will never be greedy for your treasure."

    Zhao Ran disagreed with Zhang Laodao's remarks. There are people like this everywhere. They talk nicely and say that they will never covet your property. If the value of the property is high enough, they will definitely turn against you.  However, something moved in his mind. Since this old man has traveled around, he must have extensive knowledge - at least more knowledgeable than himself. Do you want to let him see it?  Maybe it can really help me, but not necessarily.

    Thinking of this, Zhao Ran wrapped the string around his wrist twice and handed the remaining piece over: "Zhang Laodao, we have agreed, just take a look, don't worry about ghosts, don't blame me for falling out when the time comes.  .¡±

    Zhang Laodao ignored the rudeness in Zhao Ran's words, just took the string and stared at it, while stroking it a few times with his fingers.  After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "I have never seen this object before, but I don't know what it is."

    Zhao Ran was slightly disappointed, and then asked: "What's the use of it? Does anyone know?"

    Zhang Laodao continued to shake his head: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand. Where did you get this thing from?"

    Zhao Ran was even more disappointed and said casually: "I picked it up, I don't need to coax you about this."

    Zhang Laodao fiddled with the thin rope again, but still couldn't figure it out, so he gave up, let go and said with a smile: "Little Taoist friend, listen to my advice, don't waste any more time. This rope is not a treasure, plus  With your qualifications, even if it's a treasure, you can't control it, and it's a waste of time."

    Zhao Ran was nervous for a while: "Zhang Laodao, do you know how to check people's qualifications?"

    Zhang Laodao smiled and said nothing. Zhao Ran asked anxiously: "How do you see that I am not qualified?"?  "

    Zhang Laodao stroked his beard and said: "If you had good qualifications, you would have entered the sutra hall long ago. Why would you have to live in a dormitory?"

    Zhao Ran was discouraged for a while. No wonder people said that Taoist priests tell fortunes. Nine out of ten are cheaters, and the remaining one is just good at reasoning.

    Since this old man didn¡¯t understand anything, Zhao Ran was not interested and was too lazy to deal with him.  Zhang Laodao didn't take it seriously and continued climbing along the mountain path. Zhao Ran reminded him angrily: "Be careful when climbing at night. Don't fall to your death!"

    Zhang Laodao chuckled, waved his hand, and soon the figure disappeared behind the mountain wall.

    Zhao Ran looked at the string on his wrist and thought, this string is a treasure, there is no doubt about it. Zhang Laodao has neither vision nor ability, so it is no wonder that he cannot see the treasure of this string.  .  It's just that if I'm thinking about it like this, it definitely won't work, but what should I do?

    After lingering in place for a long time, Zhao Ran patted his forehead and secretly cursed himself for being confused.  Wujiyuan has its own scripture library, and it seems that people are not prohibited from reading it. Why not go there to look for clues?

    After thinking about it, he lost interest in continuing to study. He stuffed the string back into his belt, patted his butt and prepared to go down the mountain.

    Just when he was about to get up, the sound of climbing footsteps came to his ears. Zhao Ran's ears were very good and he could clearly tell that the person was still two bends away.  He cursed secretly in his heart, he was so full in the middle of the night, why did he come to this damn place for nothing?  I accidentally got myself involved.

    Zhao Ran didn¡¯t want to cause trouble for himself, so he hid in a dark corner and leaned behind a pine tree.  Not long after, a figure appeared from the mountain path. Zhao Ran recognized it at a glance. This person was Guan Er!

    Guan Er looked lost and his steps were unsteady. He slowly walked to the cloud viewing platform and stood on the cliff, staring into the distance with his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

    Zhao Ran was very curious and secretly asked Guan Er what was he doing here?  After watching for a while, I finally saw some clues - Guan Er seemed to be about to jump off a cliff!

    Although in the first two days when Zhao Ran came, he showed off his "dominance" and his attitude towards Zhao Ran was extremely unfriendly.  But Zhao Ran didn't take it too seriously. After all, he didn't suffer much loss. Instead, he took advantage of the other party's huge gamble and failed to make a fortune.  Seeing that Guan Er wanted to commit suicide at this moment, Zhao Ran was not calm anymore. No matter what, he lived in the same courtyard, looking up and not looking down. He could not watch a life disappear in front of his eyes.

    Zhao Ran did not dare to delay. He walked around from behind the pine tree, took a few steps forward, hugged Guan Er's waist and dragged him back, shouting: "Guan Er, don't be stupid!"

    However, Guan Er didn't expect that Guan Er was a practitioner, so he was unexpectedly dragged back a few steps by Zhao Ran. He looked for an opportunity, exerted force on his waist, twisted his body to the side, and at the same time grabbed Zhao Ran's arm with both arms and turned it back.  Subdue Zhao Ran to the ground.

    Zhao Ran was lying on the ground, with Guan Er's knees on his back, and his arms turned back, like a subdued gangster.  He yelled: "Guan Er, you son of a bitch, you don't know what's good and what's good, grandpa is here to save you, why are you doing this to me!"

    Leaving the edge of the cliff, Guan Er's mind was much clearer at the moment. What he did just now was just the instinctive reaction of a martial arts practitioner, and he didn't really want to do anything to Zhao Ran.  At that moment, he let go of Zhao Ran and shouted in a deep voice: "Who wants you to meddle in other people's business?"

    Zhao Ran wiped the dust from his face and said angrily: "Okay, no matter what your business is, go to hell! If you die cleanly, your wife can remarry!"

    However, Guan Er's face suddenly turned pale and his body became weak. He slowly sat down on the ground and covered his face with his hands. A burst of sobs came from between his fingers. A man as big as an iron tower actually started crying.
