In the year when the three guns were recruited, winter came very suddenly. There were suddenly a lot less wild goods in the mountains, and the pattern was turbulent that year, and most of the hunters under the mountains were forcibly recruited by the warlords and rushed to the front. And because of the war, several warlords began to fight for territory, and they were about to fight around the devil's mouth. The baby army led by Hu Biaozi made a difficulty.

In the past, the Wazi Army relied on mountain goods and trading with hunters and villagers under the mountain to barely make a living, but now most of them can only rely on the grain stored in the cave to survive, which can be said to be empty from the mountain. And the babies often heard the faint sound of cannons at night, which woke them up from their sleep, which made them feel very uneasy. Gou Wazi proposed to let everyone escape outside the mountain to beg for food, but this suggestion was rejected by Hu Biaozi. "Now that there is a war outside the mountain, there is not enough food for every family, so if we really go outside the mountain, it is better to stay in the mountain safely. But people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you panic, as soon as Hu Biaozi finished saying that, his stomach began to gurgle. He knew best what the food was in the cave, and it would last for three weeks at most, and after three weeks he would either starve to death or freeze to death. Children of their age will not be accepted even if they sign up for the army. Moreover, in the war years, cannibalism was not uncommon, and children of their age were in the most dangerous situation, so Hu Biaozi's decision to continue to stay in the mountains was unanimously approved by the baby army. But it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, where can she find this food, and what to do with this cold clothing?

Luo Sanpao has received a lot of help from everyone since he joined the gang, and he has not been able to reciprocate, and at this time, when he saw that the baby soldiers were all worried, he was also annoyed. I thought that I had many years of experience in running the rivers and lakes, and I had half of the Linglan Secret Book in my chest, and I knew a little bit about everything in the world. Immediately, Luo Sanpao walked out of the cave and looked in the direction of the devil's mouth. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water. Because of the perennial fog miasma and treacherous mountain terrain and some bizarre legends, the devil's mouth discourages mountain eaters. Although in recent years, there have been many people who collect medicine to explore the mountains for medicine, but they often enter and do not leave, which makes people panic. Although Luo Sanpao has lived here for several months, he has only explored the mountains outside the Devil's Pass with the baby army, but everyone knows that if you want to find big prey or precious medicinal materials, you must go into the mountains. At this time, for the baby army, going into the mountains may be the best way,

The three artillery lookers looked at the devil's mouth for a long time, and found that although the terrain is precipitous, it is tall and tall, without condescension and disobedience, the mountain mouth is shaped like an eagle's beak, the mountainside is like a coiled dragon, the shape and potential cover all the surrounding mountains, and there is a photo in front of it, there is a back, it is not a place to talk about soil, but it is indeed an excellent feng shui treasure land, the so-called "eagle's beak dragon body is hidden, the avenue is invisible and free", the wild goods in the mountains must also be superior, if you can explore the mountain successfully, the baby army will have no problem in winter. It's just that the mountain is too domineering, and there is inevitably danger in the mountain. But this trip has to go.

The third cannon returned to the cave and talked to Hu Biaozi about exploring the mountain, and Biaozi immediately applauded. Immediately, he discussed with the baby army about exploring the mountain. After all, most of the baby soldiers are poor children, and the skin is wrapped in bones, not to mention exploring the mountains to find treasures, even climbing the mountain and going up the mountain have problems, and the devil's mouth has always been regarded as an ominous place, and most of the baby soldiers do not have the courage and physical strength. Only Gou Wazi volunteered to go into the mountain with Luo Sanpao and Hu Biaozi. Without further ado, the three of them decided to bring dry food and self-defense to explore the mountains tomorrow. Although it is said that the trip of the day is dangerous and abnormal, there should have been a wine banquet to be put down for the three of them to practice; But there is not much storage in the cave, and most of them are astringent coarse grains, so it is not easy to eat hot at this time. The three children drank a few bowls of mush.

Luo Sanpao drank the last mouthful of paste in the bowl and looked at the rest of the children, everyone was like wilting eggplants because of recent malnutrition, all of them snuggled together to keep warm. At this time, there was only the whistling sound of the cold wind outside the cave, and the glimmer of light in the cave was two or three, and there was no life at all. As soon as Luo Sanpao thought that he was going to explore the mountains tomorrow, he wanted to boost his morale. said: "Everyone, when we come back from exploring the mountains, I will get you some roe deer meat, and I will tell you a story about the ashes porcelain before leaving." With that, he stretched out his hands and grabbed them in the air. As soon as everyone saw the posture of the three guns, they knew that there was a story to listen to, and everyone raised their spirits.

It is said that during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a strange thing happened in the area of Molin, Zhejiang. Because the local government found ore veins in the cemetery on the mountain, the local people needed to move the coffin and move the grave. But when the coffin was moved, many people found that their loved ones' tombs had been stolen. Opening the coffin and robbing the tomb, taking the treasure and making a fortune cannot be regarded as a miracle, but it is strange that there is no shortage of things buried in the coffin, but there are no bones. And most of the tomb owners who have no bodies are children. The local government attaches great importance to this matter. sent a wave of arresters to investigate the matter thoroughly, but I didn't know about this investigation, and after a check, I found out another strange thing. Because this cemetery is not far from the mass grave outside the city, many women who have beaten the ghost fetus often bury their bodies in the mass grave, but when the official mission surveyed the surrounding situation, he found that although there were many bones in the mass grave, there were no children's bones. If those bones were eaten by the big beasts in the mountains, then it can still be said that the past, but how to explain the bones that disappeared in the tomb?

The old squad leader Zhang Laosan has made a difficulty, he has been the head of the squad for 30 years, he has handled countless large and small cases, and he has seen a lot of strange cases, but only this case of losing the body is very tricky. The perpetrator does not seem to care about the burial goods of the tomb owner, but only the body of a child; He and his officers visited many nearby residents for days without getting any valuable information, and at that time, the people who could set up graves for children were all large families, none of whom were easy to mess with, and within a few days, the official master spoke, telling the old team that within seven days, they would either arrest the corpse thieves and receive a reward, or roll up and leave. The strange story of tomb robbers stealing corpses but not stealing artifacts was also spread in the county and outside the county, and it spread for a while, making people panic, especially those who had children at home.

In the evening, Zhang Bantou, who had investigated the body robbery case for a day, returned home dejectedly. When Madame saw his grizzled face, she hurriedly made a bowl of spicy soup with ginger shreds to refresh him. The old squad had been busy for a day, and he hadn't eaten, and when he saw that there was spicy soup to drink, he hurriedly took the big bowl, leaned against the old wooden table, and drank it gurglingly. Seeing that he was so hungry, the lady hurried to the kitchen to make a bowl of poached egg Yangchun noodles. When Old Man Zhang has drunk and eaten enough, this spirit can be regarded as a relief. took advantage of the time to wipe his mouth and discuss the case with his wife.

It stands to reason that Zhang Bantou should not have discussed the investigation with his wife, but Zhang Bantou's wife is not an ordinary person, her ancestors are all goddesses who move poles, and in his wife's generation, although she is no longer a goddess, her skills and experience are still there, and she still knows about the things on the road. This corpse robbery case is very strange and very human, so Zhang Zhutou made an exception to talk to his wife about the case.

Zhang Bantou said: "The county's catchers are all dispatched now, and they haven't even found a single bone slag, why don't you say this corpse thief doesn't steal the bones of adults, but prefers to steal children?" It's so strange, human bones are not tiger bones, you can't eat them, you can't sell them, what's the use of saying you want this, and besides, so many bones, they have been left for so long, and they stink and smell green, why doesn't anyone find out?" Mrs. Zhang has also heard about this corpse robbery case for a long time, although she is not in the official family and knows nothing about the investigation of the case, but this corpse robbery case is extraordinary, digging graves and digging graves is no longer tolerated, let alone stealing the body of the tomb owner?

As the saying goes: "One thing drops one thing, and the brine points to tofu." It should also be the bad luck of the corpse thief, if Zhang Zhutou asked others, it must be a bamboo basket to fetch water, but he just asked his wife who had experience as a goddess. Mrs. Zhang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and replied: "Some religions do have to eat children's flesh alchemy medicine, children have always regarded as the body of Yuanyang, the blood and blood of the whole body are unimpeded, and the pure qi is full, which belongs to the first life of heaven and earth, and has been fascinated by people who pursue the way of immortality since ancient times, so since ancient times, those who paint immortals often paint children and immortals together to show the relationship between children and immortality. In order to seek the land of Penglai, Qin Shi Huang ordered Xu Fu to bring only fifty children without others, which is the reason; But there is absolutely no reason to use the bones of children to pursue the truth and precedent of the way of immortality, although since ancient times, there are also people who know rattan and Gu techniques who will use human corpses to cultivate their own skills and Gu, but most of them need the bones of people who have been wronged and evil, there are so many corpses all over the mountain, and tomb robbers should never choose the tomb of the boy alone。。。。。 Unless.. When Mrs. Zhang said this, she suddenly paused and asked Zhang Bantou: "Have there been any new workshops and shops opened in the county in recent years, especially pharmacies?" Zhang Bantou had just listened to it with relish, and as soon as he heard his wife's words, he said: " In the county in recent years, there are a lot of new shops and workshops, we have also focused on the investigation of the pharmacy in the past few days, the coffin shop, but nothing has been found, the shopkeeper in the pharmacy said that ordinary bones can not be used in medicine, unless it is buried in the ancient tomb for more than 100 years with corpse paste corpses, most of these children are new tombs in the past 30 years, and the corpses are not allowed to be medicated. "What about the other shops?" Mrs. Zhang continued.

"There are two new silk shops, a pawn shop, a ceramics workshop, and one ... “

"Stop," Mrs. Zhang interrupted her husband's reply. "You say there's a ceramics workshop? Is it big or not?"

"The ceramic workshop is a new opening of a southern merchant in recent years, the scale is very large, but only make fine porcelain, ordinary people can't afford it, only sell it to dignitaries, of course, we also checked the workshop, but there is nothing. ”

"Then have you checked the porcelain?" asked Mrs. Zhang.

"Porcelain?" Zhang Bantou muttered to himself.

"That's right, it's porcelain, in the early years, my grandmother had three hundred and sixty lines in my world, and the line had its own rules and abilities, carrying water had the power of heaven, striking iron had a thunderbolt arm, and robbing tombs had to touch the gold, and so on, one of them said, those who lit the lamp had to have an oil lamp, and those who made porcelain had to have ashes porcelain. This human fat refers to animal fat, and of course human fat is also a kind of fat. During the Three Kingdoms period, Dong Zhuo died at the hands of Lu Bu, and after his death, angry people used Dong Zhuo's grease as fuel to light candles, lit for seven days and seven nights without extinguishing, and the so-called ashes porcelain refers to the use of animal bones and porcelain clay mixed to make porcelain, such porcelain is made, round and exquisite, light and with a slight luster, belonging to the top grade of porcelain. Among them, the ashes porcelain made from children's bones with low bone density is the best. ”

As soon as Zhang Bantou heard this, he went to see the prefect overnight, and relayed Mrs. Zhang's guess to the prefect, who was shocked when he heard that there happened to be a porcelain bought from the porcelain workshop in his house, and then called several skilled craftsmen and coroners to him, broke the porcelain, and began to inspect it overnight.

The next day, the porcelain workshop was sealed by the prefect, and the arrester was sent to check the workshop to the bottom of the day, and the craftsmen in the workshop were interrogated. It turned out that the owner of this family had a brother who worshipped the handle, and in the early years he was a tomb robber who started a fighter, and once he touched a copy of the "Porcelain Sutra" from a tomb owner, which detailed the practice of bone ash porcelain, so he worshipped a porcelain dealer and started a business of bone ash porcelain. Tomb robbers steal children's corpses, porcelain people make porcelain sellers. The bones of the children around the county were stolen by his brothers, because the matter was revealed recently, and the porcelain man hurriedly asked someone to make the corpses into porcelain. So the official sent to check the bones, but nothing could be found. Three days later, the tomb robbers were captured alive, and they were sentenced to death on the same day, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded. The officials placed the porcelain from the porcelain workshop in a local temple, hoping that the chanting of the monks would overtake the poor children as soon as possible.

Luo Sanpao, finished telling the story in one breath, at this time, the friends who were watching the surroundings were all fascinated, forgetting the half-full belly, forgetting the cold wind outside the cave, at this moment, everyone can sit around the fire and snuggle together safely, it is happy.

Tomorrow is the day of Luo Sanpao's exploration of the mountains, the danger is unknown, at least tonight can have a good night's rest.
