Lao Chen felt that the look on the look of the shopkeeper when he said that sentence was definitely not joking with him.

Moreover, although the two have known each other for many years, they are just business deals, and they are not familiar with each other to the point of making such jokes at will. But obviously he deliberately stood outside for at least two or three minutes, how could he not see the man surnamed Li talking to him and leaving?

With this layer of incomprehension, Lao Chen told the shopkeeper about his previous encounter.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper didn't say anything, just stared thoughtfully at the continuous rain outside for a while, and then asked him: "Lao Chen, you also opened a shop in Tianguang Market before, do you know that there is a saying in Tianguang Market, called Ghost Market." ”

"Of course you know, but you don't think I've really been a hell just because of this, right?"

"That's not it," the boss shook his head, "You and I both know that the main reason for calling it a ghost market is that it opens before dawn, and it closes its stalls as soon as it sees the light of day. However, it is precisely because the time of opening the ruins is about the same as the time when ghosts appear, that there have always been rumors that almost every time there is a Halloween, there are people in the ruins who will bump into ghosts. ”

The serious expression of the boss when he spoke made Lao Chen laugh, and said in his heart what age he was, how could he still be superstitious like a child. The boss saw it, shook his head and said, "Since you don't believe it, then tell me what happened just now, could it be that my eyes suddenly became blind, and I couldn't even see a big living person for two or three minutes?"

This question made Lao Chen speechless for a while.

"Besides, do you know what day it is?" the boss asked again.

What day is it?

Lao Chen pondered for a moment, and then he was excited, because he remembered that this day happened to be Zhengqing.

Hurriedly reached into the bag and touched the half of the cold and hard jade, and said that it was okay, but the thing was really there.

I was about to take it out and show it to the boss, but then I retracted my hand and hesitated.

The boss saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What, what do you remember?"

Lao Chen shook his head, then casually made an excuse and hurriedly left the store under the incomprehensible gaze of the boss.

Running out of the market in one breath, facing the traffic on the road, he stopped, only to feel that his hands trembled like a sieve.

Zheng Qingming, the half of the jade, and the man surnamed Li that the boss claimed to have never seen at all...... These three were suddenly and skillfully connected in series through his mind, and in the short moment just now, Lao Chen was reminded of something that was not very good.

He remembered that the other half of the jade collected in his house was also accepted on the day of Zhengqing.

It was 2001.

It was a few months before he became a shareholder in a daily chemical company, and then he soared to the top of the world, so he still remembers the face of the tomb robber who sent Yu Jue to him, fifteen or sixteen years old doll-like, very thin, full of potholes and acne pits, with a little squint in his eyes, in addition, he looks barely a little delicate.

Strangely, the grave robber was a girl.

We all know that tomb robbers are in the industry, although the people who dig people's graves are psychologically strong and are not afraid of the heavens and the earth, but if they really have no scruples, it is not necessarily true, otherwise there will not be so many rules and regulations to formulate the rules of that line, and they will not be so strict with patriarchs, so there are no women among the tomb robbers.

But this one is not only a girl, but also a solo one.

When introducing herself, the girl slowly talked about her simple tomb robbery experience in her slurred speech, while stretching out her right hand, twisting the black fingers on it, and emphasizing to Lao Chen quite proudly: "The heir of the Northern Sect without roots is my grandfather, and I am now his only heir, you look at my fingers, I have dug up one hundred and thirty-four graves, please open seventy-seven coffins." Why are there only seventy-seven? Because the others are so thin, they are all rotten, and they are piled up with the corpses like piles of rotten wood, and I can only pick up the rotten things little by little with my fingers, and pick up the valuable ones. ”

The so-called rootless finger refers to the fact that some tomb robbers have been playing potions on their palms since they were children, and their bones have been corroded by the potions for a long time, and then they have become a state of saying that they are not rotten and not rotten, and that they are empty but not empty.

It is said that it will cause the bones to become very brittle. But generally from the age of five to the age of ten to stop, after that, let it grow naturally, during the development period, with the growth of bone marrow breeding bones, these phalanges will continue to grow, but grow thin and flat, and the toughness is very strong, and can be twisted as much as you want.

It is said that such a hand can "grasp yin and yang" after it grows to a completely fixed shape.

That is to say, when encountering some particularly fierce ancient tombs, if there is such a person around, ask him to touch two handfuls of rammed earth, and you will immediately know whether the tomb can be opened or not, or what kind of time and method you need to choose to open it.

If he encounters a particularly fierce tomb that cannot be opened no matter what, the usefulness of his dispatch is even greater.

Just use the blood from his rootless fingers to smear the shovel, pry open the door of the tomb, and then go to the coffin, use the rootless fingers to try to penetrate into the cracks of the coffin, first touch the head of the corpse from the head, touch the feet from the tail, open the coffin lid, and then touch the corpse from head to toe, then no matter what kind of looting of the whole tomb is done later, it will not disturb the dangerous and sealed evil qi in the tomb, because that qi is said to have been caught by his fingers that grasp yin and yang.

However, about the legend of this kind of person, Lao Chen has heard about it, but he has never really seen it, let alone that the heir is still a woman.

Men are yang and women are yin, and women's physique is yin, so it is easier to attract yin when you go to a place like the grave. Therefore, some women who are more particular or have a weaker physique, when they go to a funeral or even visit a seriously ill patient in the hospital, habitually tie a red rope on their body, or wear a gold jewelry to ward off evil spirits. Therefore, tomb robbing is rarely carried by women, and in the past, although it is less sophisticated, sometimes women join, but in a group it is only used as some auxiliary work.

Who would have thought that Lao Chen would see with his own eyes a female tomb robber who was digging a tomb alone. What's even more amazing is that she is still a real rootless heir.

This girl's name is Ah Hong.

When she wriggled those long, misshapen fingers and shook them at the tip of Lao Chen's nose, Lao Chen almost vomited, but he was finally barely restrained, because although he was still very young at the time, he already knew that if he lost his temper in front of such a person, the consequences would not only make the girl feel despised but also lose his authority and deterrence, making it difficult for him to dominate the price war in the future.

In order to divert his attention, he watched Ah Hong dig out of her bag and carefully hand him the thing, and casually asked her about the origin of this thing.

Hong said she dug it up in an ancient tomb of unknown age.

The tomb is in a large mountain called Tieqiziling. Originally, a group of people paid for her to open the tomb, but for some reason, when the promised time came, no one from that group came, so she went into the mountain alone with a map. The process of searching for the tomb was not too difficult, although it was a long time and the surrounding vegetation was overgrown, it took two or three days for her to find it. It's just that after entering the tomb, she felt a little disappointed, because she thought that the tomb that she would dig must be very large, and it would be very fierce, otherwise no tomb robber would be willing to let outsiders share their findings. But the reality is that the scale of this tomb is really small, and the underground palace is also very poorly built, and it is impossible to see where the danger is.

It wasn't until she opened the outer coffin of the tomb and saw the coffin inside that her curiosity was aroused.
