Early the next morning, Zhang Xiuxian knocked on Feng Yu's door, fearing that his son would oversleep again.
Feng Yu slept all day yesterday and woke up early in the morning. He and Zhang Xiuxian walked out of the Crescent Hotel and took a car all the way out of the east gate of the city.
There is a guard post at the city gate. If Zhang Xiuxian had not had a pass, they would not have been able to leave at this point.
The car drove all the way to the east of the city. Pan Cao and Bai Ran were waiting at a post house. They asked people to drive the car back, leaving only the four of them walking on foot.
The Bai family's old tomb is still a few miles away from here. In order not to bluff, they have to sneak in around the mountain road.
The few of them met and exchanged greetings. Pan Cao was still looking strong and healthy, and he looked much more energetic than his father and second uncle.
But Feng Yu never had a good impression of this person, probably because the things he did were too utilitarian and cruel.
Bai Ran led the way, and they walked from the main road to the small road in a short while. No one spoke on the road. Zhang Xiuxian couldn't sit still and found something to talk about.
"Hey, let me tell you, Mr. Cao, why didn't your apprentice Li Chuyi come with you?"
Pan Cao didn't say anything, so Zhang Xiuxian hurriedly asked: "You have kept Li Chuyi by your side since he was a child. What is his origin? How come I heard that he has some background?"
Pan Cao Quan took it as a sign of respect, and replied repeatedly, "He was a poor kid in the first grade of junior high school. When I met him that year, he was thrown on the roadside. His family saw that he had seven of his horoscopes.
Yin, I know I can't keep him alive. After seeing him, I knew I was destined to him, so I brought him back."
"After all, you are still kind-hearted. This child that cannot be fed has grown so big in your hands."
Pan Cao smiled bitterly, "It's due to my fate with him. Anyone else would not be able to save him. Over the years, he has learned a craft and has been guarding the coffin shop for me. He can occasionally earn a little money to support himself."
My life is Yin, so I can only do business in the Yin."
Zhang Xiuxian remained calm and wrote lightly: "Yu Shoucai, this business is very expensive. Boss Cao is really powerful."
Pan Cao looked at him as if he could eat random things but not talk nonsense. Feng Yu knew that Zhang Xiuxian said this just to disgust Pan Cao.
Feng Yu took two steps and caught up with Bai Ran who was in front of him. He asked Bai Ran, "Did the Bai family tomb be moved later? Why is the old tomb in the east of the city?"
"Feng Yu, haven't your family told you about this?"
"What's up?"
"During the Ming Dynasty, the Feng family allocated funds to build a new cemetery for the Bai family. All the old Bai family tombs were sealed, and all subsequent Bai family members were buried in the new tombs."
Feng Yu nodded. The old tomb of the Feng family and the Bai family was sealed and a new place was built. What was the purpose?
Bai Ran took advantage of Zhang Xiuxian and Pan Cao's chat and lowered his voice to Feng Yu: "Feng Yu, Pan Cao has been investigating the affairs of the Gods. This time they are using each other's relationship. This relationship is on the surface.
To see through or not, you have to know in your mind that we need to use him to find the true location of the Gods, and the dark faction you are looking for is also involved. At this point, I think I am not the only one who wants to have a result.
.”
Feng Yu believed in Bai Ran,
Since they are mutually exploiting each other, they must be on the same line.
After walking on the long and narrow mountain road for about a few hours, we arrived behind a mountain col. This place was basically the same as the Feng family's tomb in the back mountain of Yanshan Mountain. It was an old family cemetery.
The old grave of the Bai family is at the back. Very few people usually come here. At the foot of the hillside of the graveyard, there lives an old tombkeeper. In terms of seniority, he belongs to Bai Ran’s grandfather. Bai Ran cannot name him.
, I only call him grandpa, and I follow the elders in the family.
This old man Bai is a weirdo. He doesn't speak very fluently and his legs and feet are not very flexible. He lives alone on the mountain guarding the Bai family tomb, which is really annoying.
After Bai Ran said hello to Mr. Bai, he led them inside.
The first person who discovered that the tomb had been stolen was Mr. Bai. Feng Yu had always respected this kind of tomb keeper and admired the person's backbone and loyalty.
The Bai family's old tomb was relatively scattered, but it was kept neatly. The tomb that was stolen was from a long time ago, probably around the time when Changmen was sealed.
Bai Ran brought Pan Cao here once, that time specifically to see the bones, and this time to compare the cipher text on the dragon horn bones.
The grave was thrown away. After Mr. Bai found out that something had happened, the Bai family immediately checked and found that the coffin was still intact. Except for the bones, nothing else was touched.
In ancient times, there were often thieves who only stole the bones of corpses without taking gold and silver. They would take the bones to carry out a sinful act, which is called Yin marriage in the folk. It means that some people who died young and failed to get married were matched with a ghost in the underworld.
Marriage sounds appalling.
Bai Ran opened the coffin lid again, and there were a lot of paper money scattered around. The soil was newly turned up, and the soil on the coffin was extremely damp. It was disrespectful to dig up the bones of the ancestors. It would not be a last resort, and it would not be done.
Pan Cao didn't say a word. He waited for the coffin lid to open. He took out the dragon horn bone from the box and pointed it at the corpse.
This was the first time that Feng Yu and Zhang Xiuxian saw each other. Most of the things in the coffin were rotten. Except for the gold and silver jewelry they carried with them, the rest were all rotted into ashes. The bones were highly skeletal. The two
There are many tiny pinholes pierced through the joints of the leg bones. This person must have done some kind of special profession in his life. And on the leg bones, there are several cipher texts that compare with the plates. Although they are not many, they are
Can be clearly seen.
Zhang Xiuxian and Feng Yu whispered, "What kind of person is Ya'er? There are at least tens of thousands of pinholes stuck in her legs. She is really a master without breaking the bones."
This corpse is indeed different from the common bones, that is, the bones are still connected to each other after being turned into white bones. The strange thing is that the joints are connected, and the pinholes seem to be attractive.
Feng Yu had read about similar existences in the Feng family books. Only one kind of person would do this. This kind of person needs extremely soft joints due to years of robbing tombs, and the way to train such joints is to use acupuncture.
joints, leading to joint atrophy. By the time you are in your forties, the joints will degenerate, and the bone calcification at the bone joints will be quite serious.
Judging from the strength of his bones, this person should be an extremely skilled player.
Bai Ran said: "I checked this man's identity. He was a big thief during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. His nickname was unclear. He was almost a family member.
It is a well-known fact that at that time, he committed all kinds of evil, robbed countless ancient tombs, and sold hundreds of boxes of antiquities."
Zhang Xiuxian heard this with envy and called him a senior, but Feng Yu didn't know. How could Bai Ran identify it based on just one corpse?
Bai Ran pointed to the toes of the corpse. He was born with six fingers. Moreover, the man was short in stature, and there were pinholes between the bones. It was not difficult to find out who it was based on the connections of the Bai family.
"Can't figure it out?" Feng Yu asked back.
"you have heard?"
"No, it's just that the nickname is confusing."
Zhang Xiuxian smiled, "What's the matter? If you can't figure it out, it means you can touch the treasure countless times. It's that simple."
That's right. I couldn't tell if it was a name in the world of martial arts, so I naturally took advantage of it.
"Then why did his bones appear here?" Feng Yu was even more confused.
Pan Cao, who was lying on the coffin and comparing the inscriptions, didn't say a word. The writing on the leg bones was simple and clear. It was not difficult for Pan Cao to recognize these words.
"Feng Yu, I suspect that someone did this deliberately. I can't figure out what I stole when I was alive. It's called the King of Yue Light Cup. It's made of coral crystals. It emits blue fluorescence and is still shiny in the dark.
Liang, this Yue Wang Guang Cup was presented to the Han Dynasty Emperor by King Haiyue. There are two inscriptions on the front and back of the cup. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty invited various people to look at it, but none of them recognized it, so he guessed it was the Haiyue Kingdom inscription, but it was not the case.
.”
"Haiyue Kingdom still has its own writing?"
"Not really."
Pancao took over and said: "That's the writing of the Gods. This is it. It's exactly the same as the one on the leg bone and the dragon horn bone."
Zhang Xiuxian asked: "Exactly the same? Ya'er has never heard of this before. What does this Yue Wang Guang Cup look like? What kind of treasure is it?"
"We Ming people do not do secret things. I, Cao Pan, have never seen such magical writings, anecdotes about dragon bones, and secret messages from the sky. These are the magical messages left by the gods."
Pan Cao's words were a little exciting, and he seemed to be seeing something from them.
Feng Yu glanced at the dragon horn bones. Pan Cao was a very thoughtful person. Even if he really saw some magic, he probably wouldn't share it with them. Besides, it's not so easy to see the magic.
Pan Cao stepped aside and continued: "I can't tell whether this person is an out-and-out thief. Later, the Yue King's Light Cup was lost and used by people with intentions. The secrets of the Gods could no longer be hidden."
"Could it be that group that Boss Cao is talking about?" Feng Yu made a riddle, deliberately not telling the name of the Feng family secret sect.
"Humph, little Mr. Feng is a happy man. What that group of people are looking for is actually this so-called magic machine." Pan Cao said to Bai Ran again: "What you want, I will try my best, and what I want, you must also try my best.
help."
"Now that we are on the same boat, we are all members of the same boat. Boss Cao, you have confirmed the things again. Someone is instigating you behind the scenes.
That group of people has made their secrets clear, and if we don’t compete with them, it will show my incompetence.”
Cao Panpan laughed heartily, "A good boy has the backbone, so for this kindness, I, Cao Panpan, will support the younger generation."
