Huzi quickly caught up with me and asked me what was wrong with a serious look on his face.
I shook my head vigorously, and the bad feeling in my heart became even stronger.
"I'm worried something happened to grandpa's graveyard!" I expressed my worries.
"No way, it's only been a few days?" Huzi was also shocked.
"No matter what, let's go back and have a look."
I stood on the side of the road, ready to hail a taxi. At this time, Lin Wan followed me out and asked me what was wrong. I told me my worries, and Lin Wan led us into her car without saying a word.
.
Because the situation was urgent, Huzi directly got into the driver's seat, hit the accelerator, and the car sped off.
The journey was very windy and we returned to Erlong Mountain in just half an hour.
As the distance got closer and closer, I took a look at the mountain from a distance and found that Erlong Mountain seemed a little different from before. This abnormality did not mean that there was any change on the mountain, but I couldn’t tell what it was specifically.
clear.
Soon, we arrived at the Longzhu Land where grandpa was buried, but when we got out of the car and rushed to his grave, we were all dumbfounded.
Where grandpa was buried, the entire ground collapsed. There was only a shallow pit, as big as a room. The soil was soft and fluffy, as if it had been pricked.
Even the Nine Orifices Exquisite Monument is missing!
"how so?"
I felt as if someone had hit my head hard with a stick, and suddenly the world was spinning. This feeling was much stronger than Long Shuiyao's betrayal at noon.
Lin Wan and Hu Zi were also stunned and ran to the cemetery to check.
"Master, what is going on here?"
My first thought was that my grandfather’s grave had been stolen!
But who would do such a thing? The only people I can think of are the Li family, and no one else can do this except them.
Apart from the three of us, the only one who knows about grandpa's grave is the person just now. He must have told the news to the Li family, so they came to dig grandpa's grave.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but grit my teeth, took out the folding shovel from my backpack, and started shoveling the soil like crazy, trying to see what was going on underneath.
Huzi was stronger than me, so he grabbed the shovel and shoveled it hard.
As the dirt continued to be cleaned out, my heart sank deeper and deeper.
Because I didn’t see the shadow of the Nine Orifices Exquisite Monument.
Further down, when Huzi dug more than one meter directly above the coffin, he still didn't see the shadow of the coffin.
It wasn't until the soil under the pit was cleaned up and nothing was seen. It wasn't until this moment that I was sure that my grandfather's grave had really been dug.
Huzi expanded the excavation area, but it was still empty underneath. There was no exquisite monument with nine orifices and no grandfather’s coffin.
Even Li Sigou's body was missing.
Everything seems to have disappeared out of thin air!
Huzi looked at me blankly, but I looked at my feet blankly.
"It must be someone from the Li family, damn it!" Huzi scolded fiercely.
I snatched the folding shovel from Huzi's hand, squatted down and carefully shoveled the broken soil under my feet.
Finally, I saw something that still existed.
That Yin and Yang Qi point makes me extremely excited.
However, at this moment, there was no water in the cave, let alone the two small fish swimming around.
In the cave, there was only a ball of black and blue mud left.
I stretched out my hand and touched it lightly, and suddenly a thick yin energy came out from the soil and penetrated into my fingers.
I was shocked that the water in this cave turned into corpse mud. Grandpa told me that this kind of yin soil can only appear in extremely yin places.
The so-called extremely yin place has a very strange effect, which can prevent the body from decaying and the bones to change. It is also a rare place to raise corpses.
It has only been a few days since my grandfather was buried. What happened?
No, the situation seems to be a little different from what I thought.
Just now I guessed that all this was done by the Li family, but now I suddenly feel it doesn't look like it anymore.
The surface condition of the soil just now clearly did not look like the soil had been turned over. Even the fallen leaves and soil surface showed no signs of being turned over. It looked more like it had collapsed on its own.
But if that's the case, where is grandpa's coffin? It couldn't have escaped by itself, right?
Just when I couldn't figure it out, Lin Wan's voice suddenly came to my mind.
"Zhang Jiuyang, come here quickly!"
I turned around and saw Lin Wan standing next to a pine tree, staring at the trunk with dull eyes.
I quickly jumped up from the burial pit, came to Lin Wan's side, and asked her what was wrong.
Lin Wan pointed to the tree trunk, "Look!"
I looked in the direction she pointed and was slightly startled because there were several thin scratches on the tree trunk.
The scratches were deep into the wood, and the white trunk inside looked very new, so it must have been left over recently.
"Isn't it a wild beast?" Lin Wan asked.
"I've never heard of wild animals on this mountain!" I frowned and looked at Erlong Mountain in front of me.
I grew up here, and although it is not deep in the mountains, there are no rumors of large beasts here, and I have never seen one.
"Besides, wild beasts can't steal coffins! Besides, I've never seen a wild beast with five claws!" Huzi said.
I shook my head with an ugly expression: "This is not a beast, but something scratched out by human fingernails."
"He was caught!"
Both of them looked at me.
"That's right. Look at the height of the paw prints. It's about 1.5 meters tall, similar to human height. The direction of the paw prints is completely horizontal, while the claw marks of animals are generally slanted downward. These two points are completely consistent with human characteristics.
And the trace at the bottom, the angle and direction are just opposite to the other four traces. It was left by the thumb, and I can’t think of anything else besides humans.”
The two of them listened to my analysis with different expressions. Huzi's face was solemn, but Lin Wan's face was full of doubts.
Obviously, Huzi should have guessed something.
Suddenly, I saw a small bunch of black hair stuck in the bark next to the scratch, and I quickly reached out and took it out.
These hairs are about an inch long, very thick and hard, and each one is as straight as a needle.
Looking at this hair rubbing, my mood became much heavier.
"Master, I feel that this is the hair of that thing..." Huzi stared at me with an ugly expression.
I nodded, "It must be that thing. Something big has really happened now!"
"What on earth is it?" Lin Wan asked curiously.
I didn't dare to tell Lin Wan, so I took a deep breath and put these hairs into my bag.
"Go, go back, I have to ask that person what happened!"
I had a vague hunch that something big beyond my control had happened at my grandfather’s tomb.
