It is true that Qiu Yan's story has answered many of my doubts, but her most critical doubts have not been answered, or she may not be able to answer them at all.

This doubt is the relationship between my grandfather's codex and the Chenzhou talisman, or rather, the relationship between my grandfather and the corpse chaser.

Of course, I didn't bring it up on the spot, but I had a hunch that if Qiu Yan could solve the question of her family heirloom curse, then the secret of my family heirloom codex would naturally be solved.

I stood up, moved my body for a moment, and said:

"Okay, it's not early, I'll go back first, tomorrow at five o'clock in the morning, we'll see you at the old place!" After speaking, I deliberately squeezed my eyes at Qiu Yan.

On the way home, I have been thinking about the experience of the past few days and the story Qiu Yan told today, I have to say that these few days are the most exciting days I have lived in the past 20 years, and what I have seen and heard in the past few days has also touched me very much.

I don't know if Qiu Yan can find the tiger bone spearhead on this trip, but if she can't find it, I yearn for her future journey to unravel the curse.

I thought again, if the story Qiu Yan's ancestors told her was true, what about the story my grandfather told me? My grandfather's codex? My tortoiseshell pendant? Do my ancestors also have a history that is full of history?

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I even felt that my encounter with Qiu Yan was predestined, as if we were about to embark on a wonderful journey just like the protagonists in the novel.

However, my joy was extinguished by my mother before I could enter the house.

"He Zimu! You don't get home all day long, where do you die! My mother was chatting with the neighbor's aunt in the yard, and when she saw me, she scolded me and scolded her, "I don't come back for lunch, and I don't call home, you're going to kill me in a hurry!" ”

"Mom, are you really in a hurry or are you pretending to be in a hurry, I see that you and Aunt Li are not having a good chat?" One of my pleasures talking back to my mom.

When my mom heard this, she immediately jumped up.

"You stinky boy, your skin is itchy, aren't you?"

Although my mother doesn't hurt to beat people, but she can't stand the fight diligently, since I was a child, my skin has never stopped itching, even if I am in my twenties, my mother also said to beat it.

But as I grew older, I found that when my mom was going to beat me, I had no choice but to stand and wait.

So, in my yard, I can often see my mother running over me with a broom.

At first, I couldn't run away from my mother, but the more I went on, the more my mother couldn't catch me, and when she couldn't catch me, my mother scolded, and as soon as she started scolding, it attracted neighbors to watch, and as soon as the neighbors watched, my mother felt ashamed, so the more angry she became, the more she wanted to beat me.

The only person who can break this vicious circle is my dad, my dad is a very easy-going person, his grades were poor when he was a child, and I never saw him get angry, often I had a quarrel with my mother, and my dad stood up with a smile, and helped me out of the siege and find steps for my mother.

This time it was the same, I ran into the house from the yard and bumped into my dad all of a sudden, and when I saw my dad, it was like seeing a savior, and I immediately pushed him out as a shield.

"Oh, Lao Li, Zimu is also in his twenties, you shout and beat at every turn, isn't it a bit faceless, how do you let him behave in front of his friends?" After persuading my mother, my father turned to me again, "Zimu, you too, the boss is not too small and makes your mother angry, can't you be sensible?" By the way, I heard your mom say you got a girlfriend? Come on, come on, Dad, listen! ”

At the dinner table, I repeatedly explained that Qiu Yan and I were just ordinary friends, but my mother just didn't believe it, she said that Qiu Yan was a foreigner, and a girl from other places came directly to the house, could it be an ordinary friend?

I don't know how to answer, I can't tell the second elder about the past few days.

My dad has always forbade me to mention my grandfather at home, and my dad dotes on my mom very much, but he never looks down on my grandfather.

Because my mother was in such a family, she always spoke and acted with a little superstitious flavor, and after decades of patient persuasion by my father, she is now firmly opposed to my contact with my grandfather.

In desperation, I had to say that Qiu Yan was one of my classmates, and I had come to the farm to escape the summer in the past few days, and I was just a classmate to be her guide.

Who knew that my mother would be even more excited when she heard it.

"Oh, hello female classmate, you know the roots, the whole of China is so big, she just came here, and she came to our house to find you, Zimu, you have to be smart!"

I was completely speechless, thinking that sooner or later I would have to leave this house, or my mother would treat all the women of my age as her future daughters-in-law.

I hurriedly finished the bowl and went back to my room.

I pricked up my ears to hear the sound of the TV in the living room, and quietly locked the door.

My parents didn't know about my grandfather giving me the codex, and I never took it out in front of them.

After hearing Qiu Yan say so much today, I wanted to take out the codex again to see if I had missed something.

I've read this codex countless times, and I can remember exactly what was on which page.

After re-reading it, I didn't find anything new, the codex was like a mysterious man, I knew his internal organs clearly, but I didn't know anything about his ins and outs.

I folded the codex, threw it on my desk, and lay on the bed in a daze.

I'm thinking about tomorrow's action, after knowing that there is no ghost in the tomb, tomorrow's operation should be over soon, and the result of the action is nothing more than two things: Qiu Yan found the tiger bone spearhead, or she didn't find it.

It's hard for me to figure out what I think about either outcome, on the one hand, I certainly hope that Qiu Yan can find a way to save her father and daughter's lives, and on the other hand, I don't want this journey to end.

I think, maybe people are like that, if your life has been dull, you may think it's nothing, isn't everyone's life like this?

But once you taste the thrill, you will be out of control, and from then on, your heart and mind will be looking for excitement, and you can no longer accept the ordinary life calmly.

My life is like a peaceful lake, and Qiu Yan is the pebble that falls into the lake, and the pebble may just think that it is just a change of environment, but she does not know that the ripples she has caused on the surface of the lake have flooded throughout the lake.

At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I casually glanced at the codex on the desk, and suddenly, I felt that this codex was very familiar.

This familiarity is not the familiarity that the Codex has been with me for years, but a feeling that seems to have been brought up by someone recently.

I sat up all at once, this codex was known only to me and my grandfather, and when I was in the army and at the lookout, I always read it quietly after avoiding people, and there could be no third person who knew about it, so where did this feeling come from?

After thinking about it, I finally figured it out.

I have looked through it countless times over the course of five years, but I still don't know what it is, or what it is for.

Isn't this feeling the same as the Tujia toast in Qiu Yan's mouth?

Both of these are real, but they both deliberately erase their identification, and they are trying to hide themselves.

Thinking of this, my feeling for my grandfather and this codex is even stronger that these two must be related to the legendary corpse chaser.

I took the Codex, took off the pendant, and compared the inscriptions on the pendant with the runes in the Codex.

After careful comparison, I found that although there was no exact pattern in the codex that was identical to the pendant inscription, the stroke movement of the inscription was indeed very similar to that of the runes.

It seems that I guessed correctly, the rune in the codex is the Chenzhou rune!

Finally, I saw the tip of the iceberg, and I knew that there was a great mystery waiting for me underneath it, but I also knew that I had caught one of the clues.

The next day, I got up quietly, went out quietly, and arrived at Bandit Bay by five o'clock in the morning.

As I expected, Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei had already arrived, and when they saw me, they looked at each other and smiled, and then Qiu Yan handed me a backpack in his hand.

With yesterday's experience, the ascent to the mountain today will be much smoother, although I still have to drag Xiang Wei behind, but he has obviously fallen a lot less.

Everyone was in a relaxed mood today, so I also had time to chat a few words.

I looked at Xiang Wei, who was panting behind me, and said with a smile:

"I said to the eldest young master, don't you have a phobia of intensity? Why did you get in so late yesterday? You know, as long as you are a few minutes late, Qiu Yan and I may meet the king of Hades. ”

Xiang Wei propped his knees on his hands and gasped for a long time before replying:

"As soon as I saw the corpse rotting fungus, I guessed what was going on with the haunting before, so I actually wanted to go in and remind you, who knew that something really happened to you when I went in and saw it. I think this should be the will of heaven in the dark, God doesn't want you both to die. ”

I was very satisfied with Xiang Wei's answer, so I went on to ask:

"Well, there is a providence in the dark, well said, then you can talk about it, will God let you find that tiger bone spearhead this time?"

I originally wanted to enlighten Qiu Yan through Xiang Wei's mouth, and I wanted to tell her that even if she didn't find it this time, she didn't have to be too disappointed, God has his own arrangements.

Who knew that Xiang Wei didn't answer, he was silent for a while, and then said dejectedly:

"If I can't find it again this time, Uncle Qiu may ······"

As soon as I heard it, the words were wrong, so I quickly looked at Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan was seven or eight meters away from us at this time, and I didn't know if she heard or not, she just turned her back to us and climbed up vigorously.

I glared at Xiang Wei fiercely, lowered my voice and said:

"Dude, are you going to look at it?"

Xiang Wei raised his head and looked at me confusedly.

I shook my head and explained:

"The story Qiu Yan said is too bizarre, I guess you are likely to return in vain this time, if you really can't find it then, do you say the same? Do you think Qiu Yan is not frustrated enough? ”
