Chapter 7 A trip down the mountain

Yin Zhiping came to the valley where the tomb of the Living Dead was located. He did not approach it, but chose a place with a higher terrain and looked at it from a high point. But he saw that the tomb was built along the mountain, and it was expected that a large part of its underground building would extend into the belly of the mountain.

There is also a mountain spring in this valley, which gathers into a stream and winds down. However, this spring flows down from the peak on the other side, and is quite far from the ancient tomb. It is obviously not related to the groundwater system of the ancient tomb.

Yin Zhiping looked carefully for a while, frowned and distressed. The secret passage connected to an underground river, and was completely hidden under the ground. He looked from the surface now and could not find any clues.

After thinking hard for a while, he suddenly felt his heart moving and said to himself: "By the way, there is a saying that 'people go to high places and water flows to low places'. No matter how secret the underground river is hidden, it is impossible to go against the rules of the world. It will eventually flow to the low places. I just need to follow the terrain of this valley. If the underground river is always hidden underground, I can't do it, but it will eventually show its head, which will give me a gap."

Thinking of this, Yin Zhiping stopped looking at the ancient tomb here. He looked at the direction of the valley and went down to the heights and followed the terrain straight down.

The Chongyang Palace and the ancient tomb are not deep in Zhongnan Mountain. Wang Chongyang built the tomb of the Living Dead as a base for his resistance to the Jin Dynasty. He can store both weapons, armor, food and grass, and weapons. Therefore, this requires convenient transportation, otherwise the road will be blocked and the enemy will not be able to attack, so it is very difficult for them to transport food, grass and weapons.

Therefore, the tomb of the Living Dead was not built deep in Zhongnan Mountain, but was located under a peak not far from the mountain. It chose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the road is not Tongheng Avenue, it is relatively easy to walk, without having to cross mountains and ridges, and it will not be rugged or dangerous. It is just hidden in the mountains and forests, but the road is quite secret. It is not a familiar person, it is difficult to find and it is easy to get lost.

Wang Chongyang lost to Lin Chaoying in the competition that year, and Lin Chaoying asked him to agree, not only to lose the ancient tomb to her, but also to obey her instructions for the rest of her life, and nothing could be contrary to each other. This is equivalent to asking Wang Chongyang to marry her, but he just couldn't get enough face and didn't say anything clearly.

If you refuse to agree to this, you must become a monk, whether you are a monk or a Taoist priest. But whether you are a monk or a Taoist priest, you must build a temple on Mount Zhongnan and accompany her for ten years. This is to ask Wang Chongyang if he doesn't marry her, he will never marry her for life.

The Quanzhen Sect’s teachings are different from other Taoist sects before. This is probably the origin of this point of being unable to marry.

"You two resentful couples are not in harmony, and they actually set up rules with this, which has caused the Taoist priests of the entire sect to never marry forever. This is a big mistake for you!" Yin Zhiping thought of this and couldn't help but secretly complaining.

But no matter what, Wang Chongyang lost. Before he became a monk, he became a Taoist priest and also established a Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain. Because he wanted to accompany Lin Chaoying, he could not get too far away. He was on the same mountain, one in front and one behind.

Since the ancient tomb was not far from the mountain, Yin Zhiping looked down along the terrain and found it straight at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. However, the foot of Zhongnan Mountain was very large, and Yin Zhiping could not find it for a while and had nothing to find it this day. But since he got down the mountain, Yin Zhiping did not go back immediately. He went to the nearby town and purchased some of the things he needed and used lunch in the town.

He mainly bought waterproof tart cloth and several wine bags used as air bags. He originally planned to buy a piece of leather and sew it himself, but when he arrived in the town, he saw that the sewn ready-made bag was sold, so he naturally went back and started to buy ready-made ones.

This wine bag is made of leather. It was originally used for the Hu people to serve wine on the grassland. It is also popular in the border areas, but it is rare to sell such things in the heart of the Central Plains, let alone a small town at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. But now the area north of the Yellow River has been occupied by Mongolia. Before Mongolia was ruled by the Jin people for decades. Both ethnic groups were Hu people, so they brought many Hu people's objects. Some things are indeed easier to use, such as this wine bag, whether it holds wine or holds water, is very convenient to carry when traveling. Some are for the upward and downward effect, and some are favored by merchants. Anyway, no matter what the reason is, there are many shops and merchants selling Hu people's objects in these areas occupied by Hu people.

After buying the oil cloth and wine bag, Yin Zhiping looked at the money left in the purse, and then went to the fur shop to buy two unfading leather pieces, and prepared to go back and spread them on the bed as mattress.

Quanzhen Sect is an ascetic school. Yin Zhiping was originally a ascetic monk, but Yin Zhiping was not. In modern times, he is already a person who is used to modern and comfortable life and likes to enjoy life. He can't stand it if he wants him to turn back to live such a hard life. Although the conditions in this world are limited and it is impossible to reach the level of his original world, he still has to try his best to improve his quality of life and must not treat himself unfairly.

Yin Zhiping decided to start with his own bed. At least one-third of his life is spent in bed, so this place of sleep must be comfortable.

The so-called "eat the mountains and eat water and water" is close to the mountains, and there are many hunters at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, so there are many shops in the town that buy furs. Yin Zhiping was extravagant and bought two leopard skins to go back. He never enjoyed this thing in his previous life. In his previous life, there was a wild animal protection law. Leopards are already a rare breed and a national protected animal. This kind of fur is difficult to get, and it is illegal to buy and sell.

In his world, there are many soft things for making beds, so naturally I wouldn't think of such illegal things. However, in this world, there are very few options, especially in a small town at the foot of the mountain, where goods are not complete, and even fewer options are available. Yin Zhiping also searched for a while but couldn't find any other more comfortable beds, so he made up his mind to buy two leopard skins.

However, this place is considered the origin after all, and what he bought was only simple nitrate and not finished, so it is not too expensive. But compared to Yin Zhiping's original consumption level, his current spending is definitely a big expense, which is as good as Yin Zhiping's original two or three months of expenses.

Yin Zhiping finally bought a piece of cloth, packed everything he bought in the town and carried it on his shoulders, and then returned to Chongyang Palace.

When he returned to Chongyang Palace, someone saw him asking with a big package on his back. Yin Zhiping replied that he had bought some things down the mountain. As for what he bought, he would not tell him in detail. Naturally, the younger disciples did not dare to ask more questions, but the fellow brothers of the same generation asked in detail, but Yin Zhiping was not good at not answering, so he only said that he bought a mattress because his original one was a little broken. As for the monks who did not lie, Yin Zhiping did not take it seriously.
