Qiu Yan's eyes were eager and full of longing, and it could be seen that she was fascinated by the history of the Tujia family, and it seemed that only these Tusi were really keeping a big secret that was worthy of her enthusiasm.

But everything she said to me was the first time I had heard of it, and I didn't know how to react to her eager eyes.

"Well, that's a bit strange to you to say." I replied noncommittally.

Qiu Yan seemed a little disappointed, she ignored me and walked to the stone platform again.

I followed Qiu Yan around just now and found that everything around was smooth, and there was nothing strange about it.

I followed Qiu Yan towards the stone platform and took a closer look.

This stone platform is slightly rectangular, and there is a notch the size of a wooden door in the center of the stone platform, if this is really the coffin that Qiu Yan said, then this notch should be the coffin lid.

The whole stone platform is about seven or eight square meters, and there are traces of chiseling, and it is easy to see that this is not a single stone, but a patchwork of several large stones.

I held the pendant in my hand to my chest, for fear that the people inside the coffin would suddenly explode.

Qiu Yan gently scratched the marks with the sapper shovel while starting to introduce them again:

"This should be ordinary granite, and it seems that they have put some thought into making such a large stone into a coffin."

Listening to Qiu Yan's introduction of this knowledge that I was not interested in at all, I was a little impatient, so I urged:

"Hey, whatever kind of rock it is, I'll talk about it when I open it."

Qiu Yan glanced up at me and asked with some surprise:

"He Zimu, you are also a Tujia, don't you care about your past at all?"

Why do I care about this? What I care about is your 50,000 dollars!

But I didn't say it, the money hasn't arrived yet, so I have to follow Qiu Yan's words at this time.

"Hehe, it's not that I don't care, it's just that this is not the place to talk, if there is anything to say, let's wait for us to take something and go out." I laughed.

Qiu Yan seemed to see through my thoughts, she shook her head, and took out a few pieces of rune paper from the small cloth bag hanging behind her, and I smiled when I saw it:

"If you still mess with this thing, it didn't work last time, will it be different this time?"

Qiu Yan glanced at me and said:

"It's our touch······ Our rules, besides, this is a soul fixing talisman, which is different from the last time! ”

"Different? What's the difference? Let me see. So saying, I took one from her hand.

I took the rune paper and looked at it, but I was surprised, I have seen the runes on this paper, which is in the codex that my grandfather gave me, but the strokes of this rune are not quite the same as I remember.

Qiu Yan saw that I was stunned, so she asked:

"What's wrong? What are you doing? ”

I handed her back the talisman paper and said with a smile:

"It's nothing, it's just strange to look at, this word doesn't look like a word, the painting doesn't look like a painting, where did you get it?"

Qiu Yan looked at me strangely and said:

"Are you a Tujia family, this is the Chenzhou Fu, you Tujia should all recognize it."

"Didn't you just say the Soul Fixing Talisman? Why did it become a Chenzhou charm again? I asked.

"Hey, Chenzhou Fu is a general name for a set of runes, including soul fixing talismans, exorcism talismans, etc., the Tujia corpse chaser walked the rivers and lakes with Chenzhou talismans, but these crafts have been lost for a long time, I thought you would know it!"

"Why should I know? Do everyone in the Tujia family know about it? Listening to Qiu Yan's slightly contemptuous tone, I was a little indignant.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan pointed to my pendant and said:

"Just with it!"

"It!" I looked at the tortoiseshell in my hand.

"Yes, the inscription on this tortoise shell is the Chenzhou rune, although I don't know what this rune is, but I can be sure that the drawing method of this rune is the Chenzhou rune."

This time, I was even more surprised, although I didn't remember all the runes in my grandfather's codex, I still had some impressions, if those runes were the Chenzhou runes in Qiu Yan's mouth, why didn't I have any impression of the runes on this tortoise shell?

"Don't tell me you bought this tortoise shell! If you didn't buy it, you must have a relationship with Chenzhou Fu! Qiu Yan said with certainty.

I looked at Qiu Yan as if she was still waiting for me to answer, so I smiled mysteriously and said:

"Cut, didn't you tell me how you found here? So why should I tell you how I got it? ”

Who said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years? Revenge is what the big husband does!

"You!"

Qiu Yan pointed at me, and when she turned around, she stopped paying attention to me.

I watched Qiu Yan paste the talisman paper around the coffin, and then bowed three times to the coffin.

Qiu Yan stood there and waited for a while, then beckoned me to come over and open the coffin with her.

I saw Qiu Yan take out a few brackets from the back pocket of the oxygen cylinder behind her, and then twist the screws, adjust the height and height, and turn it into two pairs of hoops.

Then, Qiu Yan put the honing frame on the stone platform, and asked me to knock the steel nails attached to the honing frame into the lid in the middle of the coffin.

I watched all this in amazement and wondered if the grave robbery industry is developing so fast now? It's all mechanized!

The two sets of hoops are not very thick, and judging from Qiu Yan's actions, these hoops are not heavy, it is certain that they are not made of steel, and I estimate that this set of things must be worth at least 18,000.

It seems that this Qiu Yan is really not short of money!

I was secretly happy in my heart, the stone lid on the coffin had been shaken, and I took the wrench from Qiu Yan's hand and continued to move the honing pillar as she did.

Soon, a crack in the lid was exposed, and Qiu Yan immediately stuffed the sapper shovel into it.

I was about to work with Qiu Yan to push the stone lid open, but Qiu Yan stopped me:

"Wait!"

I looked at Qiu Yan.

"Let's talk about it first, only I can touch the things inside, and after we get what I want, we'll put the lid back on, no matter what's inside, you can't move it, understand?"

"Okay, it's all up to you." I was curious at this time, and I couldn't wait to see what was inside, and I didn't listen to Qiu Yan very carefully.

Qiu Yan sighed, and then opened the lid of the coffin with me.

Who knew that when I opened the lid, there was a huge red lacquer coffin with gilt trim lying inside, probably because the stone platform was cut off from the air, and the coffin was intact, and under the illumination of the headlamp, it was still shining with golden light.

"Hehe, it's still rustic! Look, this is what you call a low-key toast's coffin? ”

Qiu Yan ignored my taunts at all, and looked at the big red lacquer coffin with an incredulous expression.

"No, I've been into several Tujia tombs, and none of them are as extravagant as this!" After being silent for a long time, Qiu Yan said such a sentence.

"What's impossible, you also said it, people are toasts, and it's not a big deal to use the coffin well, besides, this coffin is bigger, a little more beautiful, far from luxury!"

"He Zimu, a person, a nation, and even a country all have their unique heritage, which cannot be easily changed, and the simplicity of the Tujia people is engraved in their bones, how can it suddenly change?" Qiu Yan yelled at me.

"Maybe people are thinking, since they want to be buried in this deep mountain and forest, why not just let yourself lie down a little more comfortably?" I replied disapprehantly.

Qiu Yan shook her head, said "nonsense", and then leaned down to examine the coffin carefully.

I stood aside and waited for a long time before Qiu Yan straightened up.

"Let's open it first!" Qiu Yan's face was full of displeasure.

So, the two of us worked together with a sapper shovel to pry open the lid of the coffin.

I carefully lifted the lid of the coffin, moved it aside, and then looked inside the coffin, just one glance, and overturned all the words Qiu Yan had said before.

The man lying in the coffin had become dry bones, but there were gold, silver and jade objects around him, and what surprised me the most was that the clothes that the man was wearing were not Tujia clothes at all, but Manchu official robes.

"Didn't you say that this toast was from the Ming Dynasty? How did you become a Qing Dynasty person? I asked, puzzled.

Qiu Yan looked inside the coffin in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice:

"How is that possible? How can it be! ”

I saw that Qiu Yan seemed to be about to collapse, so I put away my joking tone and asked:

"Let's see if there's anything you want!"

Qiu Yan fell to her knees and almost cried:

"People are not the same person, so how can there be what I want?"

"You'll have to at least look for it, right? How big is that thing? What does it look like? I'll help you find it! "I squatted next to Qiu Yan, wanting to help her.

Who knew that Qiu Yan suddenly pushed me down and shouted at me hysterically:

"Didn't you say it! No! I spent so much energy, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, are you satisfied? You can finally laugh at me! ”

I wanted to help, but in exchange for Qiu Yan's shouting, I became angry all of a sudden:

"You're sick! I didn't get the thing, what are you calling me? I just want to help you, kind as a donkey's liver and lungs! ”

"Who wants you to help? You're not helping me for money! Don't worry, even if you can't find anything, I won't lose any of the remaining 30,000 yuan! ”

I had no intention of arguing with Qiu Yan, and I could see that she had indeed spent a lot of energy on this, and now she can't find anything, so it's understandable that she is a little emotional.

Moreover, it may be because I spoke too vigorously just now, I began to feel a little uncomfortable in my throat, and seeing Qiu Yan's frustrated appearance, I didn't care about it.

"Let's not talk about this for now, since we can't find anything, then let's go out, and if we want to quarrel, we can go out and quarrel, okay? Besides, there is more than one Tujia toast, I can't find it here, let's go find it somewhere else, what's the big deal? ”

Qiu Yan stabilized her emotions, slowly stood up, and said weakly:

"There's no time."

I was stunned and asked:

"Why don't you have time?"

Qiu Yan did not answer.

She jumped down from the coffin and knocked the lid down on the side, and I hurried over to help her put the lid back in place.

Who knew that we had just moved the lid back to its place when my eyes suddenly went dark.
