"Yes!" the wild boar said through gritted teeth! "Don't let me catch this bastard, otherwise, I will skin him!!"
Lin Fengjin said:
"Then you have to be careful, because the old man's ashes may have been spilled and mixed in the soil."
The wild boar shook his head and said:
"No, our practice is very special. The ashes are very different from ordinary people. They are like pearl sand. Even if they are mixed with soil, they can be clearly identified."
Lin Fengjin pondered for a while and said:
"Since you just said it, this Soul Urn and Golden Bottle has all kinds of supernatural properties. It is impossible for ordinary tomb robbers to break it if they encounter it. It seems that those who come here ignore the power of the Soul Urn and Gold Bottle and directly attack it.
Breaking the soul urn and golden cup."
"At the same time, the great witch chose to bury his bones here. He obviously kept a low profile. He probably had the closest relationship with you when he was alive. However, even you, after being given a clear reminder, searched for a long time.
If it were an outsider who discovered the location of this cemetery, I believe it would be even more difficult to find this place."
"So, according to my speculation, first of all, the person who dug the grave should not be an ordinary person. He has a very special identity. Secondly, this person also has great attainments in Feng Shui and Kanyu. Otherwise, how could he be found here?"
"Yes, yes." The wild boar nodded and said, "Sir, you are absolutely right."
Lin Fengjin continued:
"The above analysis is only an inference based on the bright lines we have at present. Next, we can also analyze some situations from the perspective of motivation: Under normal circumstances, normal people will not do such actions as digging graves.
.”
"People who do this usually have only two motives. The first is that the tomb owner buried a lot of precious items, and the tomb robbers asked for money, so they dug the grave. The second is to vent their anger. For example, they had a deep hatred with the tomb owner during his lifetime.
But there was nothing we could do to him, so he could only come to rob the tomb to vent his anger on the corpse, whip it, urinate and so on."
The wild boar immediately said:
"What our sect advocates is that people come naked and leave naked. Therefore, we do not advocate burying anything with you. Whatever is left will be handed over to the next generation and let it play its role. We will not let it go to waste in the tomb.
Decay, so the pursuit of wealth you mentioned, Master, is impossible."
Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and said:
"Then there is only one possibility left, which is to vent your anger and wallow in the rivers and lakes. You must have grudges with others. Even the ancient kings were dug out and whipped to death, but there is something strange here.
That is, after the other party has vented his emotions, he will turn around and leave. But after the tomb was dug, it was obvious that two things were missing, whether it was the ashes of the old man Wu Ji or the place to hold the ashes.
The soul urn and golden bottle seem to have been taken away by others!"
After hearing this, the wild boar immediately began to groan:
"Sir, what do you mean?"
Lin Fengjin said seriously:
"I think this soul urn and gold bottle is probably a treasure. Although it has value after being broken, the ashes of the old man Wu Xi are not here, which is enough to prove that they were taken away by the gravedigger.
Yes, in this case, it is actually a very clear hidden line - where would a normal person think that the ashes are very useful and would be taken away? People who can do such a thing must have the ability in this aspect
A very special ability or induction. After combining these things together, in fact, although this tomb robber has never met us face to face and we don’t know his identity, it goes without saying that there are several major characteristics of this person.
It’s already ready to come out.”
"This man should also be a very powerful monk, because the protection provided by the golden soul jar does not seem to have any effect on him. He is good at Feng Shui and Kan Yu. At the same time, he must be proficient in the art of ghosts and ghosts. I think there are also people around here.
It’s really a poor place, so there shouldn’t be ordinary residents here, right? Ma Wen, you are familiar with the situation here. Can you tell me about it?”
Ma Wen immediately said without thinking:
"There are many poisonous insects in the Tulu Swamp, and in summer and autumn they release a very vicious dead leaf miasma. Although this miasma is not fatal, it can cause people to cough incessantly, cause lung ulcers, and can even be transmitted to people.
It can be said that the rest of the people and the nearby insects and beasts are all more or less poisonous, so even if there are bold tribes who come to settle within a radius of two to three hundred miles, they will definitely die out within ten years.
"
Lin Fengjin muttered:
"In that case, our search scope needs to be expanded. As far as I know, there don't seem to be many powerful sorcerers living alone in Xirong. I feel that the more powerful the sorcerers are, the more powerful they are.
The more resources are consumed, so we must rely on powerful leaders in the world to continue to progress. As far as I know, even the great witch and other old people cannot escape this vicious circle. So, our next goal should be the one closest to here.
Our village, let’s find out if there are any powerful wizards within a thousand miles who meet the conditions we are looking for.”
The wild boar said with a black face:
"Master, the Soul Urn Golden Bottle is also a very rare spiritual object. Therefore, if there are no accidents, then the fragment in my hand will be able to echo with the main body as long as it reaches a certain distance. This is also possible.
Used to identify this tomb robber."
"Oh." Lin Fengjin's eyes lit up and he said, "How far is the sensing range?"
The wild boar sighed and said:
"It's only about a hundred meters."
Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and said:
"It's already very good. With this, I don't know how much trouble it can save us!"
But then Ma Wen stood up and poured cold water:
"Sir, the nearest walled city here is called Nigunwo, and it is about two hundred miles away. Because there is a salt pond in that place, it is as if you are holding a rice bowl gifted by God and you are not afraid of starving at all.
The people in Nigunden are also very arrogant and not afraid of death, so the public security is quite good. And because the salt produced here is rare green salt with high quality, there are many merchants selling here.
There is an endless flow of people visiting it in all four seasons and it is quite prosperous.”
"There's just one thing you need to understand, sir. After the Fajia people lose our whereabouts, they will most likely turn the focus of their search to these bustling villages. Therefore, if we want to go in to find people, we will actually have to risk it."
The risk is not only to provoke this tomb robber, but also to be targeted again by the Legalists."
Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"What you said is half right, so we have to be careful this time. We all have to disguise ourselves. At the same time, Ma Wen, you have never shown your face in front of the Legalists. After going to Nigun's Nest, you will be the leader.
.”
As Lin Fengjin said this, he took off the Black Emperor Mirror from his waist and handed it to Ma Wen:
"In this mirror, there is a very powerful servant of mine hidden. Coincidentally, she is also good at water magic. Plus this mirror, combined with your own talent, I guess self-protection will be no problem."
Ma Wen had long noticed the Black Emperor Mirror on Lin Fengjin's waist, and could feel that it was a very powerful water magic weapon, but she didn't expect that there was actually a very powerful weapon spirit inside, and she was born with water.
After the three complement each other, the power of Yuan Zhi can be said to be doubled. After hearing Lin Fengjin's words, he nodded without hesitation.
***
After confirming that there was nothing valuable under the Jitou Mountain, Lin Fengjin and his team quickly headed to the Mud Gun Nest. Although the environment in Xirong could be described as barren and harsh, Ma Wen and Ye Zhu led the way and escaped.
After arriving at this putrid and smelly swamp area, we walked over the mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground, and spent a day arriving at the Mud Roll Nest.
This Nigunwo is a village built on the middle of the mountain. Because the brine pool that produces salt is on the top of the mountain, the tribe that occupies this place built the village on the middle of the mountain, like a belt that connects the village.
Surrounded by a mountain peak, the construction of the village is as clear-cut as terraces. You can see a large number of bamboo buildings on stilts built together in an orderly manner. There are a large number of people passing through, and the crowds are surging.
And most of the livestock are tied up in a dam at the foot of the mountain, thus avoiding chaos. There is also a bluestone water channel in the shape of a zigzag flowing down from the top of the mountain, forming the basis of the village.
The people inside provided water. At the same time, towering bamboo watchtowers and stone passes were built at several key locations, which also provided sufficient defense. Lin Fengjin was considered an expert in this aspect.
Therefore, at first glance, I feel that the person who presided over the construction of this stockade at that time was quite capable and took care of the area in an orderly manner.
You know, in a place like Xirong, it can be said that there are many people who are brave and brave enough to kill people with knives. It is not surprising, but to find someone who is so good at overall planning and taking care of internal affairs is really better than a giant panda.
It’s even rarer. This Nigun Nest is sitting on a cornucopia like the Salt Pond. To be able to defend it and then the tribe continues to grow and develop, there really are capable people behind this.
Before Ma Wen entered the mud rolling nest, she deliberately smeared mud on her face. Dirty children like her in ragged clothes can be said to be everywhere. They are the least eye-catching, and they are born with them.
The advantage is that it is directly listed as a "harmless" target as soon as it is seen, so it is the most suitable to inquire for information.
About half an hour after entering, Ma Wen walked out and said with a strange expression:
"Sir, the group of people from the Legal family did come here two days ago, but they received the news in the first half of yesterday night, and they all retreated and evacuated."
Lin Fengjin exclaimed and said curiously:
"What's going on?"
Ma Wen said:
"I'm not sure why, but it's true that there are no Legalists in the village at this time."
Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"This is best, let's go in."
Before coming here, Lin Fengjin and Ye Zhu discussed how to sneak in. They must wear local Xirong clothes. This is not difficult to solve. Lin Fengjin was prepared before he came.
Tian was trekking in the dense forest of Xirong, and his skin was tanned. Even if he applied some mud, he could still pretend to be 80%.
As for the identity of the two people, they could pretend to be medicine customers and hunters. When they came to rest along the way, Ma Wen had already woven a medicine basket with rattan. Lin Fengjin picked a few medicines and threw them in on the way.
There are no flaws, but the wild boar is more convenient as a "hunter". Not long ago, he killed a leopard that came to hunt and just put it on his shoulders. Besides, the wild boar had been a hunter in the early years and was just returning to his old job.
That's all.
Then the group of people headed straight into the village. If Lin Fengjin came here alone, his accent and some daily habits would be exposed. Fortunately, there were two wild boars accompanying them to take care of them, so they entered without any danger.
After arriving at the village, he followed the rules and went to sell the medicinal materials. Because the medicines collected by Lin Fengjin were quite good in terms of quality and rarity, he sold them easily, and the drugstore owner thought that he was a stranger.
In order to win over this new medicine customer, Lin Fengjin was given an extra five cents, hoping that he would be the first to sell the medicine to him after he collected it.
The leopard carried by the wild boar is more popular. If you take it to a large restaurant and throw it on the ground, the boss will naturally give you a price with a smile. There are many merchants here and there is a lot of traffic. The leopard meat can be sold as game.
, leopard bones can be passed off as tiger bones and soaked in wine, and leopard skins made into mattresses can drive away wind and cold. It can be said that the whole body is a treasure, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.
At first, the boss thought that the wild boar was a stranger and wanted to lower the price. However, the wild boar was still familiar with this business. As soon as he heard the price offered by this guy, he knew that he was ripping off customers, so he took the leopard and left without saying a word. The boss hurriedly
After calling the person, he apologized repeatedly before retaining the person, and finally reluctantly offered a high price to retain the wild boar. The little girl Ma Wen was still haggling beside her quietly, asking the boss to not only pay the money, but also go around.
Just stop after the last meal.
The next group of people naturally ate here. Because the climate is very different between the east and west of Xirong, the food culture is also different. The staple food here is hand-caught black cake, which is made from a mixture of rice and arrowroot starch. It looks black.
The lacquer is very viscous and looks similar to cow dung, but the texture is a bit rough, but it is enough to fill the belly. At the same time, a plate of pickled sour fish cubes and a large pot of potato and pickled cabbage soup are also served. The dishes are mainly hot and sour.
Mainly, the aftertaste is a little bitter. Lin Fengjin is not very used to eating it. Fortunately, the wild boar and Ma Wen ate it and it seemed quite appetizing.
A group of people had eaten halfway when Ma Wen suddenly whispered:
"Okay, it's almost done. The surveillance spies have left."
After hearing this, Lin Fengjin was a little surprised and whispered:
"Spy? What is going on?"
Ma Wen whispered:
"No wonder De Nigun's Nest has never been attacked. It turns out that it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The three of us seemed to have sneaked in easily, but in fact we were already being targeted by two spies until we discovered
We were very normal when we were selling things and eating, and we were indistinguishable from the locals. We didn't show any flaws at all, so the two spies left."
After eating, Ma Wen went to ask the shopkeeper, saying that his mother often entrusted her with dreams after she died, and there were people around the tomb who heard someone crying when passing by at night, so she came here specifically to ask for a "god."
" Or the "goddess" asked what was going on. When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately recommended his cousin, saying that he was in this business and guaranteed to solve all problems after casting the spell.
.
The purpose of a group of people coming here is to interrogate powerful wizards who are thousands of miles away and are also good at ghost ways. It is best to keep a low profile and not to alert others. The relative recommended by the shopkeeper felt very unreliable upon hearing this.
Most of them are scams, and Lin Fengjin and others will certainly not be fooled. Ma Wen's memories of her previous life are gradually awakening, and she is also a very shrewd and powerful woman. She immediately said in surprise:
"Really, that's the best. My mother-in-law died a violent death, and her body was not found when she was buried. To be honest with you, the shopkeeper, I have invited several gods and goddesses to look at her before, but there was one
Later, I don’t know what happened, but he fell into the water and drowned. One of them had half of his head chewed by wild beasts, and another one just left crying without even being paid. Our god from all over the country
The goddess didn't even dare to go there. Later, after listening to someone's advice, I realized that there is a powerful master here. Shopkeeper, please take us to find him as soon as possible."
Listening to Ma Wen's "crackling" words, the shopkeeper's face gradually turned blue. How come he didn't know what kind of virtue his cousin was, that is, he just pretended to be a ghost and deceived some money to use it. His real skill was
Not at all, otherwise how could I have fallen under his stove?
And listening to what this little girl said, the job of love is an extremely dangerous situation! It seems that there are many "pioneers" who have bravely fought on the streets one after another. If I really let my cousin go,
, then you are not helping him, but harming him!
Therefore, before the shopkeeper could finish speaking like he was pouring beans out of the Mawen bamboo tube, he laughed dryly and said:
"Oh, little sister, my uncle suddenly remembered that the relative he wants to recommend will go to the countryside to visit his grave tomorrow. He won't be able to come back until a full month later. In order not to delay your affairs, it's better to go to another place.
Bar?"
"Ah?" Ma Wen said in astonishment with her big round eyes open. "But uncle, didn't you just say that your relatives would do a ritual or something like that and everything would be fine? Why do you have to visit the grave now and don't have time?"
.”
At this time, several regular customers nearby couldn't stop laughing. The shopkeeper's face turned the color of pig liver, and he turned around and left. He probably would not show up again before Lin Fengjin and others left.
When he came out, he was very embarrassed.
At this time, Ma Wen was still very into the drama and called out "uncle, uncle" several times in astonishment, and finally pursed her lips and said unwillingly:
