Originally, the Qiu family just thought that Qiu Shanyue had some kind of strange disease, and no one cared about it after he was buried.

But after that, there were people in the Qiu family who continued to get the same disease as Qiu Shanyue: as long as they were related to Qiu Shanyue, they all had marks on their arms when they were in their teens, and then when they were forty or fifty years old, the marks spread to their hearts, and finally they quickly aged and turned into dried corpses.

The Qiu family searched for various famous doctors, and some even found the imperial doctor in the Forbidden City, but these doctors were helpless, and the Qiu family still passed on this disease from generation to generation.

Although the Qiu family suffered from an inexplicable disease, it did not affect their tomb robbing business at all, and since the Qianlong period, the Qiu family has regarded tomb robbery as a family business, concentrating on business, and passing it down from generation to generation.

Until the era of the Republic of China, that is, the era when Qiu Yan's great-grandfather, Qiu Yeliang, was in charge, he happened to meet an old Tujia man in Xiangxi.

It is said that as soon as the old man saw Qiu Yeliang, he said that he was sick, and it was an incurable disease.

When Qiu Yeliang heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask for advice, and in order to show his sincerity, he told the old man about his family history, including what happened to Qiu Shanyue in the deep mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou.

After hearing this, the old man shook his head again and again, saying that the ancestors of the Qiu family had mistakenly entered the land of Chiyou, which was the curse of Chiyou.

Although the old man's statement was too ridiculous, Qiu Yeliang, who was cornered, sounded like a dawn in the dark, giving him a glimmer of hope, you know, Qiu Yeliang was over forty years old at this time, and the mark was about to climb over his arm.

Qiu Yeliang hurriedly asked the old man if he had any good things to solve, and the old man shook his head again, saying that Chiyou's curse can only be solved by Chiyou.

When Qiu Yeliang heard it, he said that this is not nonsense? Chiyou is a mythical character, where does he go to find Chiyou?

After that, Qiu Yeliang turned his head and was about to leave.

Who knew that at this time, the old man grabbed him and said that although there was no good medicine to solve, there was a way to alleviate it.

Qiu Yeliang didn't want to listen to this old man's nonsense anymore, but for this disease, his Qiu family searched for hundreds of years and couldn't find a prescription, and now even if a dead horse is a live horse doctor, it is better than not listening to anything.

So, Qiu Yeliang asked the old man for a way to alleviate it.

The old man twisted his beard and said with a smile:

"The things of the dead return to the dead, and the living do not come near!"

Qiu Yeliang was puzzled, and then asked:

"What do you mean? Does it mean that if you don't rob the tomb, this disease can be cured? ”

The old man shook his head:

"No, this is a way to alleviate it, as for the cure for the curse, have you ever heard of the Tujia corpse chaser?"

Qiu Yeliang has been fighting all his life, and naturally he has heard of the name corpse chaser, but he has been in and out of Hunan and Guizhou countless times, but he has never seen them.

"Corpse chaser? Can they cure it? Qiu Yeliang asked.

"Well, I'm not sure." The old man turned his hands behind his back and said, "But the most good at dealing with corpses in this world is the corpse chaser, it is rumored that the Tujia Tusi has inherited a treasure, called the tiger bone spearhead, which was given to the corpse general by Chi You back then, the tiger bone spearhead has the effect of blocking the meridians, if you can find it, maybe you can solve the curse of your bloodline." ”

"They will deal with corpses, what does that have to do with my illness?" Qiu Yeliang was puzzled.

The old man glanced at Qiu Yeliang up and down, and said softly:

"What, you think you're still alive?"

Suddenly hearing the old man's words, Qiu Yeliang was surprised.

"How come I'm not alive anymore? Haven't I lived a good life? Qiu Yeliang vehemently denied it.

"Well, I ask you, have you ever slept peacefully since this mark appeared on your arm?" The old man asked.

Qiu Yeliang's body trembled and looked at the old man in surprise.

Indeed, in recent years, he has rarely slept soundly, and often as soon as he feels a little sleepy, he feels like he is falling into the abyss, and then he wakes up covered in sweat.

"I also ask you, how many of your family members have lived past the age of fifty?" The old man asked again.

This time, the old man asked the right question again, Qiu Yeliang calculated, since he remembered, no one in the family, male or female, as long as the surname Qiu, lived past the age of fifty.

The old man asked both questions, and Qiu Yeliang had to be serious.

"Then according to the old gentleman, where do you have to find this tiger bone spearhead?"

The old man smiled and replied:

"Since it is the inheritance of Toast, it must be asked for Toast!"

"But the position of Toast has long been dismissed, and now I'm afraid there is no Toast alive, right?"

The old man smiled but did not answer.

Qiu Yeliang woke up to the fact that Tusi was not there, and there was still a Tusi tomb!

"What do you mean, old gentleman, to look for it in the grave?"

The old man remained silent.

"But didn't you say you couldn't rob tombs?" Qiu Yeliang asked.

The old man smiled and replied:

"The matter of robbing the tomb hurts the heavens and reason, and after smelling the yin qi for a long time, how can it be both? Your curse comes from the tomb, so you naturally have to go to the tomb to solve it, but when you go down to the tomb, you will definitely be contaminated with yin energy, and yin energy will trigger the curse on your body, which is the original intention of the curse. In the final analysis, you brought on the path of robbing tombs, so you must also bear the consequences. As for whether or not you can find something that breaks the curse, it's up to you to create! ”

Qiu Yeliang still wanted to ask in detail, but the old man quit.

"What should be said, I have already said, where to go, I hope Mr. will be cautious."

After speaking, the old man brushed his sleeves away, Qiu Yeliang wanted to ask the old man who his name was and where he lived, but when he caught up and took a look, he found that the old man had long been gone.

Afterwards, Qiu Yeliang went to a nearby village and town to inquire about the whereabouts of the old man, but no one had ever seen the old man.

Qiu Yeliang knew that he had met a master, although what the old man said was too ethereal, but this was also the first time in hundreds of years that the Qiu family had heard the way to deal with their own curse.

After returning from Xiangxi, Qiu Yeliang began to inquire about the whereabouts of Tujia Tusi and recorded the secret history of Tujia that he had learned.

Although the Qiu family still hunts for holes from time to time, it is no longer for money, they all go to the tomb quietly, and then do not take a tile or brick, and restore the ancient tomb to its original state after the fact.

After Qiu Yeliang's death, Qiu Yan's grandfather inherited the family property, and naturally inherited the business of finding the spearhead of tiger bones.

During the Anti-Japanese War, in order to avoid the war, Qiu Yan's grandfather sold his family property and moved his family to Nanyang.

After arriving in Nanyang, the Qiu family began to learn to do business, because there was still a lot of family property sold, so soon, the Qiu family gained a firm foothold in the business.

After two or three generations of accumulation, by the time Qiu Yan's father was in charge, the Qiu family was already a well-known wealthy man in Singapore.

However, Wanguan's wealth could not lift the curse of the Qiu family after all, and in the past hundred years, the Qiu family focused on the business field, and put down the matter of finding the spearhead of the tiger bone.

Finally one day, Qiu Yan's father found that Qiu Yan's arm also had a mark, so he returned to his motherland and began the Qiu family's journey of unraveling the curse.

As time passed, Qiu Yan's father saw that his imprint gradually crawled over his arm and was about to reach his heart, so he told Qiu Yan about the family's past.

Qiu Yan was originally studying in Europe, and after learning the curse of the family, she could no longer complete her studies with peace of mind, so she stomped her feet and gritted her teeth, Qiu Yan took over her father's mantle, and quietly inquired about the mountains and rivers while learning the art of inverted fighting.

Qiu Yan also talked about Xiang Wei:

In the early days of reform and opening up, the Qiu family's career was extended to the mainland, and Qiu Yan's grandfather set up a charitable fund to support poor students in his hometown, and Xiang Wei was one of them.

After graduating from university, Xiang Wei did not continue his studies, but started a business.

In a few years, Xiang Wei opened this tourism development company, of course, this is indispensable for the Qiu family's funding.

Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, they met in their teens, and when they became adults, although they were separated by one side, they also often moved around, and if Qiu Yan wanted to come to China to play, Xiang Wei would inevitably accompany them.

Now, Qiu Yan is running around to save her father and her own life, and Xiang Wei naturally does her best to help.

Hearing this, I understood why Qiu Yan said "no time" in the tomb at that time, her father was about to be fifty years old, and the mark on his body was only a millimeter from his heart.

"That'······ What does that tiger bone spearhead look like? "I think it sounds a bit out of the blue, but now that they've found it, they must have a specific goal.

Qiu Yan turned around and dug into a bag for a long time, and finally took out a notebook.

When I saw her open the notebook, it was densely filled with words, mixed with all kinds of paper, and even a few pieces of straw paper, which looked like money.

Qiu Yan pulled out a piece of rice paper covered with creases and carefully placed it in front of me.

The rice paper was quite new, with some simple drawings drawn on it, the ink was very thick, and the edges were very uneven, it should be a rubbing.

Qiu Yan pointed to a small figure in the painting, who was holding a wooden stick with a diamond-shaped spearhead on it.

"This is Chiyou, this is the spearhead of the tiger bone!" Qiu Yan pointed to the villain and said to me seriously.

I looked at the stickman-like picture on the rice paper, and I opened my mouth and laughed:

"Poof, that's it? No, I was better than this when I was in kindergarten, don't tell me you put so much effort into it, just because of such a stickman! ”

I know that I will definitely annoy Qiu Yan when I say this, but I just can't help it, such a bizarre story, coupled with such a child's playful picture, coupled with Qiu Yan's serious expression, is really ridiculous.

Sure enough, Qiu Yan took back the rice paper and said with a gloomy face:

"Believe it or not, but this is really my only clue. Moreover, this rubbing was finally found by my father, and it recorded the scene of Chiyou's defeat and escape in the Battle of Zhuolu that year, and this is just one of them. ”

I quickly put away my smile and asked seriously:

"Then your dad didn't say where he got this rubbing?"

"This is my dad found it from a Miao tomb, but my dad said he found it inside, and there are no valuable clues in it except for this mural."

"Miao? Why is it involved with the Miao again? I asked.

"Don't you even know that? Chi You is the ancestor of Jiuli, counting, he is half an ancestor of our Chinese nation, what's so strange about the Miao people? ”

I didn't have time to digest Qiu Yan's bizarre stories, and Qiu Yan became impatient:

"Okay, now you know everything about me, I see, you won't use it tomorrow."
