Legend of Ghosts and Gods: Xiaoqian 01 Tongten Pavilion

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Legend has it that there is an omniscient place in this world called Tongten Pavilion.  Whether you want to know the truth and the murderer about why eighty-nine members of the Hunan Yuejia Escort Bureau were wiped out overnight ten years ago, or you want to know the whereabouts of the billions of treasures collected in the former Yuan Dynasty, or even the specific topographic map of the emperor's residence tonight  and defense deployment, there is nothing Tsutenkaku cannot satisfy you!

    However, there are as many legends in the rivers and lakes as the sands of the Ganges. From the magical weapons that command the world to the martial arts secrets that make them invincible in the world, there is no year without a few?  It's just that 99% of them are genuine "legends". The only people who really take these things seriously are the "vegetarians" who are just starting out with fantasies and longings, or they are people with ulterior motives.

    Although the Sange Baozi Shop in Guaizi Hutong in Chengdu is not big, it is considered a specialty delicacy in Chengdu. Even the local governor and prince would send people to buy it for breakfast, which shows that it is indeed famous.  But even so, no one here has ever ordered seven or seventy-nine large meat buns in one go, and even finished them in one go!

    "Here, guest officer, are you okay?"

    The waiter, who had a rag on his shoulders, spoke in a trembling voice. He was still holding four bowl-sized meat buns in his hands, but he didn't know whether he should continue to serve them to this guest.

    Qing Fen looked back at him coldly. Feeling the shocking murderous aura, the waiter immediately lowered his head and put the buns on the table, then trotted away obediently.

    After glaring away at the waiter, Qing Fen continued to look at the buns in front of him, as if he hoped to use his eyes instead of his stomach to eliminate the "enemy" in front of him. However, after looking at the buns for a long time, he was still unmoved. In the end, he could only  Frustrated, he touched his bulging belly with one hand and grabbed the bun in front of him with the other hand.

    According to rumors in the world, you can't find it in Tongten Pavilion. The only way is to get the other party's initiative to guide you.  According to rumors, there are about eighty-seven secret codes for attracting people. In the end, Qing Fen spent three taels of silver to buy these eighty-seven methods from a travel agent, and came here to eat four.  Nineteen large meat buns are the thirty-fifth variety.

    Looking back now, the journalist¡¯s eyes at that time looked like he was looking at an idiot!  While Qing Fen struggled to swallow the buns in his mouth, he distracted himself with memories.  Maybe I am really an idiot. I tried thirty-five kinds of trumped-up contact methods for a trumped-up Tongtenkaku Tower, and in the end I even insisted on eating steamed buns here. What is this but an idiot?

    The forty-ninth bun was finally stuffed in. Qing Fen could no longer sit at the table and could only huddle under the table. He didn't see anyone from Tongtian Pavilion falling from the sky like in the play. It seemed that he was the third  Got fooled fifteen times.

    ¡°Sir, how about I help you hire a car to take you home?¡±

    It¡¯s still the same waiter. Now he has no choice but to squat beside the table with a smile, so as not to appear too superior.

    At this point, it was no longer Qing Fen¡¯s turn to pretend to be a hero, so he nodded reluctantly, took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the young man.

    "East of the city, Dongfeng Inn!"

    Struggling to say his last "last words", Qing Fen closed his eyes and stretched his limbs, no matter how the waiter carried himself into the car like a dead pig, or the sound of the wheels "squeaking" around him.  It symbolizes that the old car I'm lying on probably hasn't had its axles oiled for several months. As long as lying down can make my stomach feel better, I can do whatever I want with other things.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took to feel groggy, but the surroundings suddenly became silent. However, this silence did not make the half-asleep person sleep more peacefully. Qing Fen, who smelled an abnormal smell, opened his eyes instantly.

    The respectable waiter found a carriage with a carriage for Qing Fen. Although it was not very spacious and comfortable, it could block the wind on all sides and had soft cushions under the body.  Very good.  I'm afraid it cost about one tael of silver to hire such a big car. The waiter didn't fatten his wallet but spent all the taels of silver on himself. He was really a kind man.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Now I can¡¯t see the outside world with my eyes darkened. Shouldn¡¯t this be regarded as a blessing in disguise?

    Having no idea to lift the curtain, Qingfen pricked up his ears, opened his nostrils, and calmly felt the world outside the carriage.

    This musty smell and the dust that can be detected by the breath, this is an abandoned house, which has been abandoned for at least ten years. The faint and undetectable charm of it is still there, which is the result of burning incense and praying all year round. If it is not a temple, it is a Taoist temple.

    Qing Fen tried hard to sit up, but his bloated belly prevented him from moving. The glutton had no choice but to continue lying on the car floor and tapped his head with his hand to keep it working.

    In my impression just now, the car under me moved like this first, and then this way.Turn around, and then keep walking like this Finally we got here.  Comparing the terrain of Chengdu, I should be in a secluded place eight to ten miles northeast of the city. It seems that someone wants to communicate with me without being disturbed.

    "No matter who invited me here, I won't be inviting you to eat today, no, this month!"

    After trying to sit up again but to no avail, Qing Fen continued to lie down resigned to his fate and knocked on the carriage board hard and spoke loudly.

    "Young man, please be patient. Although Tongtenkaku is not stingy, we will not treat a customer who has just eaten forty-nine meat buns to another meal."

    A middle-aged man's voice came from outside the sealed carriage, with a hint of teasing. He spoke in Mandarin without any local accent.

    "Although there are not many guests at Tongtenkaku, it is really the first time for you to have to go through such hardships to meet us. Due to mutual needs, we have to talk in this way without seeing each other. I hope you don't  mind."

    "To be honest, I don't really believe that everyone who finds your Tongten Pavilion comes in lying down like this."

    Qing Fen didn¡¯t seem surprised by the sudden arrival of the other party. Hearing that it was Tongten Pavilion he was looking for, he became a little lazy and lay down more comfortably.

    "Tongten Pavilion is actually not as mysterious as the legend says. There are actually many people in the martial arts who know how to contact us - of course, they refer to normal contact channels, but these people must strictly keep secrets, even if they are biological children or biological fathers.  Revealed. We will also accept new members to join, which requires the recommendation of senior members and passing our inspection. To be honest, this is the first time for someone like you a maverick."

    The man spoke humbly, but he did not hide his pride. He seemed to be very proud of his organization, and the sight of him was enough to comfort him for his whole life.

    "I seem to feel honored?"

    Qing Fen finally managed to sit up and moved his body to lean on the carriage board.

    "Is it because you feel my sincerity?"

    "This is certainly a factor in our decision to meet with you, but it is not the most important one. Generally speaking, you are a smart man, very smart. You know how to distinguish the true from the false from the numerous rumors in the world, and you also know  How to make a request that cannot be refused.¡±

    "Excellent. A person who nearly ate himself to death by eating forty-nine meat buns can't really be said to be very smart."

    Qing Fen patted his belly and said helplessly.

    "Your Excellency is being too modest. However, although we can make some guesses, we still have some doubts. I wonder if you can answer our questions?"

    The voice was always polite and polite, but also revealed the indifference of a superior. Although it was asking for advice, it was vaguely assuming the posture of a superior.

    "As a profession that is older than killers and prostitutes, I have never doubted the existence of intelligence dealers in the martial arts world. Although there are open organizations like wind brokers, due to confidentiality, there must be more secretive and profound ones.  , a more omniscient intelligence organization.

    I don¡¯t know whether the legend of Tongten Pavilion appeared sooner or later, but I made a bold guess. Even if the original word "Tongten Pavilion" is indeed a myth, there will be people who plan to turn this legend from fiction into reality. After all, this is  It is such a unique sign.

    And if the above hypothesis is true, then a person who works hard to find himself and even eats forty-nine big meat buns will definitely fall into the sight of Tsutenkaku, and then you will investigate me as a matter of course, and finally you will find some feelings.  Interesting things appear in front of me.

    Of course, everything above is largely my guess, and it may be all my random thoughts.  But even then, at best, a fool would waste a few months doing dozens of stupid things like eating steamed buns, and that wouldn't be a big deal.  "

    Qing Fen¡¯s method of action is still a straight line. Although it is simple, it is practical.

    "Only successful people in this world are qualified to comment. If you fail, you will be another laughing stock in the world. But since you have successfully met us, your analysis is unpretentious and wise. Okay, let's compliment each other.  Let's stop here. Now that we have met, although I am indeed very interested in why even Tongten Pavilion cannot find out your identity and origin for a while, what I am more interested in at this time is that you have worked so hard to find Tongten Pavilion.  What kind of information do you want to get?"

    "It's not very convenient to talk like this. You must already know my name. You can also give me a title."

    Qing Fen did not rush to tell the information he wanted, but instead made a very ordinary request.

    "Tongtianxiao C number 44, but please don't worry,To you, there is really no difference between me or other Ultra Magnus.  "

    The person outside the car was silent for a while and gave such a title.

    "I'm looking for someone."

    "who?"

    ¡°A woman, but I don¡¯t know her name or age.¡±

    "What does she look like?"

    ¡°I don¡¯t even know if she is fat or thin.¡±

    "Then what deeds can be found in her life?"

    "I don't even know whether she is Hu or Han."

    The two people¡¯s questions and answers were extremely fast, and in an instant they had sketched out a figure of a woman who knew nothing and could be anyone or not anyone.  If Qing Fen had been facing someone else, he would have been furious after hearing such a description. There was no doubt that he was amusing himself, but Dr. Tongtian's voice was steady and unwavering.  If you are looking for someone with a clear life experience and a clear appearance, a matchmaker in the world is enough, why go through such twists and turns to find Tongten Pavilion.

    "Then what is identifiable about this woman?"

    "The only thing I know is that she has a light red plum blossom-shaped birthmark on her left breast."

    Qing Fen laughed bitterly.  This feature is really a good feature. I can't go around looking for people on the street. If I see a woman, I will go up and talk to her, "Miss, can I see your breasts?"  ¡¯, or you can lie on the roof of another girl¡¯s house all day long and peek at the vaginas of all the women in the world!  This kind of thing can only be entrusted to places like Tsutenkaku.

    "It is indeed an easy-to-identify characteristic, I understand. But the world is huge, and you may find more than one person who matches the characteristics by following this clue. You should know that even Tongtenkaku cannot make judgments out of thin air. I need  More clues, such as how did you learn about this feature? Who told you? Even if he has fallen asleep underground, we can find other useful things."

    The mysterious Ultra Magnus also showed a mortal side at this time. He did not show off his mystery blindly, but directly acknowledged the limits of his abilities.

    "It may sound too mysterious. The person I am looking for died because of me in the previous life. What I am looking for now is her reincarnation. The 'person' who told me about her characteristics in this life has indeed stayed underground all year round - that is the earth  Zao!¡±

    Qing Fen rubbed his nose and smiled more and more helplessly. He didn't know if the other party could see his expression through the carriage board, let alone the limit of the other party's ability to accept "nonsense". Even if Dr. Tongtian suddenly stopped talking.  Disappearance is not a strange thing.

    "You can rest assured that Tongtian Pavilion has been exploring the secrets of the world for hundreds of years. It is not the first time that witches and gods have magical powers and invite gods to cultivate immortality. But the problem remains. If there is more than one person who meets the characteristics, how to identify them?"

    As expected, Tong Tianxiao lived up to his reputation. He didn¡¯t feel dissatisfied with Qing Fen¡¯s strange remarks at all, and he didn¡¯t even think that the other party was teasing him. Instead, he continued to talk about business in a serious manner.

    "I will make the identification myself. There may be something else I can provide. King Ksitigarbha once said that no matter what the soul's background is after reincarnation, its deepest character traits will not change. My friend was troubled and hated the ordinary.  , I guess she won¡¯t be a good girl.

    This is the information I want.  Now do I need to ask about the price I have to pay and how we can contact you going forward?  "

    Qingfen¡¯s conditions have been put forward, so the next step is to listen to the other party¡¯s conditions. After all, I never thought that the other party is a charity organization that is eager to help others and pays for it all out of its own pocket.

    "The information checked by Tongtenkaku is divided into ten levels according to difficulty, with A being the highest and Kui being the lowest. Your request is not very secret, but it involves too wide a scope, so the evaluation should be level C. Once a month, we will send someone to talk to you.  Take the initiative to contact and send news. The most conservative estimate is that it may take several years, so you should be mentally prepared."

    "It only takes a few years to search half of the people in the world. The strength of Tongten Pavilion really surprises me. But what if I want to find you for something?"

    "Go to your nearest store, buy a pair of red candles, and light them in the window. Our people will give you a contact method as soon as possible. You can find the local Ultra Magnus by following this."

    "I realize that you people in Tsutenkaku must see a lot of jokes every day!"

    Qing Fen laughed bitterly again. The trick of lighting red candles was actually one of the eighty-seven contact methods, and he had used it before. But the strange thing was that the liaison officers of Tongten Pavilion naturally had a list of members.  So even if someone else does get hold of this contact information and follows it exactly the same, Ultra Magnus will just treat it like a monkey show.

    "There is nothing we can do about this. Let's talk about the reward. What Tongtenkaku sells is information, and the reward it asks for is also information. Since you are from Ksitigarbha,I got information here to find a reincarnated person. I also happen to have something about ghosts and gods that I need to investigate. Maybe you are willing to help.

    There is a small town called Guobei County in the southeast of Bashu and close to Guizhou Province. Recently, there have been monsters or gods in the woods nearby, and people often disappear among them.  Tongtenkaku was very interested in what was going on in the woods.  "

    "It doesn't sound like an easy job. It turns out that every member who has a relationship with Tsutenkaku will also become its new intelligence agent. No wonder your intelligence can cover everything and reach everywhere."

    Qing Fen couldn¡¯t help but sigh with envy because he was really good at this kind of business.

    "It's just a matter of helping others. If you don't want to, you can refuse. And Ultra Magnus has something to say first. This Mystery Forest case is only worth one month of our investigation and transaction. If we can't find what you want within one month,  Man, then there will be more investigations that you need to do. It¡¯s not too late for you to regret it now.¡±

    The voice was calm and calm. Although he said "you can refuse", there was no worry about the other party's rejection in his tone.

    Sure enough, Qing Fen just smiled bitterly. The positions of the two sides were completely unequal. The other party only had a negligible interest in the "Mysterious Forest Case", and the people who could be investigated were by no means necessary. But on the other hand, except Tongten Pavilion,  There is no other party to entrust with my affairs, so it would be better if such a one-sided negotiation ends as soon as possible.

    "make a deal!"

    As Qing Fen spoke, he sat up, lifted the curtain of the car and walked out. He saw a thin book placed on the place where the groom used to be. On the blue cover of the book were written the five words "Guobei Mysterious Forest Case"  Small print.  Looking around again, this place is indeed an abandoned temple, and the breath of the speaker has disappeared without a trace the moment Qing Fen opened the curtain. It seems that in addition to checking information and negotiating transactions, this Qinggong of Tongtianxiao is also  Not weak.

    "Guobei County always feels a bit familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before!"

    Qing Fen leaned over and picked up the book, knocked on his head but couldn't remember anything.
