Qiu Yan continued:

"What I just said is the official record of Peng Da Worm Keyi, and there are some wild histories among the people, which are a little different from the official records.

It can be said that the unification of the Baojing Division, the Great Worm Keyi contributed to it, and it stands to reason that the Great Worm Keyi should have a high prestige in the Baojing Division.

However, in the first year of Xuande, he first sent his son to Beijing to pay tribute, and then killed his nephew and seized the seal of the Baojing Division, which is a bit abrupt.

There are some folk legends that Yonglie Gong did not die of illness, but died of Miao Gu, and Yonglie Gong's son Yao Ha Yi was not killed by the big worm Keyi, legend has it that the big worm Keyi only found the body of Yao Ha Yi, and then the court sent troops to capture the big worm Keyi, and finally the big worm Keyi died in the prison.

There are a lot of details of the interruption in this legend, and I think that only by filling in the details of these interruptions can we figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing. ”

The more I listened, the more confused I became, so I took advantage of Qiu Yan's pause and asked:

"Wait a minute, Qiu Yan, you said so much, I still don't understand much, you answer me a few questions first."

Qiu Yan nodded.

"First of all, where is this Liangjiangkou?" I asked.

"The two estuaries are roughly located at the junction of Longshan and Baojing in Xiangxi, and the two rivers in the two estuaries refer to the car washing river in Youshui and Yongshun."

"Okay, I now understand why we're going to Longshan. Next question, you said so many strange names, I sound a little dizzy, you help me clear the relationship between them first! ”

Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei laughed at the same time, and then Xiang Wei took out a notebook and a pen, and explained while drawing the kinship of several people on the paper:

"First of all, it is Peng Wanli and Peng Mogu, these two are brothers, Peng Wanli is the Tusi of the Baojing Division, and he is also the Xuanzhi of the Baojing Division, and Peng Wanli's younger brother Peng Mogu sent was named the position of the Tushe of the Liangjiangkou by Peng Wanli, the Tushe is not the Tusi, but the official title of the Tusi, and it is the princes who manage one side, and between the two, it is a bit like the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

Let's talk about Peng Da Worm Keyi and Peng Yonglie, Peng Da Worm Keyi is the son of Peng Mogu Send, after Mo Gu Send's death, he succeeded to the position of Tushe, Peng Yonglie is the son of Peng Wanli, after Peng Wanli's death, Peng Yonglie succeeded to the post of Consolation Envoy, these two are cousins.

In the end, Peng Yaohali was Peng Yonglie's son, because Peng Yonglie died unexpectedly, so Yaohali succeeded to the position of consolation envoy at a very young age, and the official record is that Peng Da Worm Keyi was dissatisfied with Peng Yaoha's succession as consolation envoy, so he killed him.

In addition, Peng Da Worm Keyi also has a son named Peng Shun, and before the big worm Keyi killed Yao Ha Yu, it was this Peng Shun who was sent to the court to pay tribute. ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Wei put down his pen, looked at me and asked:

"Now you should be clear, right?"

I was noncommittal, while looking at the kinship chart drawn on Xiang Wei's paper, I recalled what Qiu Yan said before, and then looked at Qiu Yan and asked:

"The relationship has been figured out, but what you said has nothing to do with the tiger bone spearhead? Aren't we going to find the tiger bone spearhead? ”

Qiu Yan hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and finally, she took out a stick-like thing from her bag and placed it on the coffee table in front of me.

I looked at it, laughed, and took the tortoise shell out of my snakeskin pouch and laid it on the coffee table.

After Qiu Yan saw the tortoise shell, she also covered her mouth and laughed:

"It's not that a family doesn't enter the door, He Zimu, I underestimate you!"

I bowed my hand to Qiu Yan and said with a smile:

"There have been awards, there are Qiu seniors here, and the juniors are just playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong!"

It turned out that the stick-like thing that Qiu Yan took out was the scroll in Wushan Tusi's hand, the so-called thief is not empty, Qiu Yan and I both took a thing out of the tomb.

After a few words of extemplation, Qiu Yan became serious, and she unfolded the scroll, and I saw some strange fonts written on it.

"Many of these words are mottled and fall off," Qiu Yan explained, "After I got it back, I spent a lot of money to ask experts to restore it, and it was written: I mistakenly caused external troubles and caused great disasters, but fortunately the people did not give up, erected the white tiger flag and did not fall, passed the spear to my brother, and died in Gu." ”

Although Qiu Yan said it well, these words are not difficult to understand, the most important of which are the last two sentences, "Pass the spear to the younger brother, die to the Gu".

Wushan Tusi's death from Gu art fell to my expectations, or it didn't surprise me, and although the sentence "pass the spear to the younger brother" mentions the spear, why does Qiu Yan think that the "spear" here is the "spear" she is looking for? Also, how did Qiu Yan connect Wushan Tusi and Peng Da Worm Keyi? In my opinion, there is nothing to be said on this scroll related to Peng Da Worm Keyi!

I was still waiting for Qiu Yan's explanation, but Qiu Yan didn't seem to be going to continue, so I asked:

"So what? Is this the spear you're looking for? So how did this spear get to Peng Da Worm Keyi's hand? ”

Qiu Yan seemed embarrassed and unwilling to answer my question.

I shook my head, got up and said:

"Qiu Yan, it's come to this point, if we can't be honest with each other, I don't think we will go to Xiangxi, when the time comes, I can't find the spearhead and don't say it, and it hurts my feelings."

I thought that as soon as these words came out, Qiu Yan would show some embarrassment, at least to stimulate her to tell the truth, but I didn't expect Qiu Yan to put her hands in her arms, look at me coldly and say:

"What if I'm honest and you're not?"

I was stunned for a moment and turned my head to look at Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan continued:

"Didn't you tell me about that tortoise shell? Don't tell me you just think that tortoise shell is beautiful, so take it back and use it as jewelry, right? ”

As soon as I heard this, I laughed, Qiu Yan made sense, I shouldn't and didn't need to hide this from her, after all, I still have to rely on her to help me solve the mystery behind this tortoise shell.

So, I told Qiu Yan everything I had learned, as well as the stories I had heard from my grandparents, and even the Codex.

After Qiu Yan listened, she nodded again and again and said:

"It seems that I guessed correctly, you are really the descendant of the corpse chaser, but why did your ancestor go to Lin Feng Farm so coincidentally? Did he know that Wushan Tusi was buried there? So what did he go there for? ”

I said:

"You're talking about these questions exactly what I want to figure out, okay, I've been honest, now, it's your turn."

Qiu Yan pulled out her hands, put away the scroll on the coffee table, and said:

"Well, I'll tell you, the craft of tomb robbing, first of all, depends on the accumulation of culture, to put it bluntly, you have to have theory and then practice, and practice needs to be taught by hand, so those engaged in tomb robbing, like many old crafts in China, rely on the inheritance of masters and apprentices, which is also the reason why tomb robbers come out of the family as soon as they come out.

In fact, as early as after my family moved to Singapore, my family's tomb robbing skills began to decline, at that time, the family in order to survive, in order to eat, just work hard to make a living, to my father's generation, those money and points, no one remembers.

And my older brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, if it weren't for the marks on our hands, no one would have known that our family used to rob tombs, and when we knew the seriousness of this matter and wanted to learn it, no one taught us, and we didn't have that cultural accumulation, so we wouldn't have been able to learn at all.

As for me, I spent some money to hire a few masters, although I know a little, but it is not enough to find a hidden tomb like Wushan Tusi.

Three years ago, my dad met a master in Hubei, who was a barefoot man who could also read feng shui, so my dad chatted with him a little more.

Later, the master found the mark on my father's hand and asked my father what was going on, and my father saw that the master knew feng shui, so he told him about my family.

Who knew that after the old master heard this, he said that he would look for the tomb, and he also knew some things about the tiger bone spearhead, and he also said that he was the Tujia family, so he also knew some of the wild history of the Tujia family.

When my dad heard this, he took it to heart and planned to ask the master to help him find the Tusi tomb.

The master said that he was away all the year round and was used to freedom, so it was impossible to be dispatched at any time like going to work, but he left my dad's phone number and said that he would notify my dad as soon as he had a clue.

In this way, the master took my dad to find a few ancient tombs, although they were all in vain, but he also collected some clues, the rubbing you saw before was found by the master with my dad.

Later, when I returned to China, my father told me and Xiang Wei about the master, and he said that although the master failed to help him find the spearhead, he was a credible person, and he gave me a phone number, saying that if I and Xiang Wei were desperate, I could find the master.

The number my dad gave me was a landline, I called a few times, and the person who answered the phone was a small shop owner, and he said that the master only passed by there occasionally, and there was no fixed place to live, and he said that if necessary, he could leave a phone number to relay to the master.

Before I went to Lin Feng Farm last time, the old master called me, and he told me about the Wushan Tusi Tomb, and he also taught me some tips for finding the ancient tomb, and then said that he would notify me if there was a clue. ”

Hearing this, I immediately asked:

"He also told you about this trip to Xiangxi?"

Qiu Yan nodded and said:

"Yes, he also told me this time, he said that he was too old to walk far, so he told me something on the phone, he said that Wushan Tusi is likely to be from Xiangxi ......"

I seemed to understand something, so I interrupted Qiu Yan and said:

"Wait, you said he told you on the phone, and he is the one who said that Wushan Tusi governs the entire Wuling Mountain?"

Qiu Yan nodded again.

But my mouth widened in shock:

"Do you mean that Wushan Toast is actually Peng Yonglie?"

Qiu Yan didn't seem to expect me to guess, and she was a little surprised for a while, and then she laughed:

"Hehe, He Zimu, you're very smart! That's right, the master said that Wushan Toast is very likely to be Peng Yonglie, and the content on the scroll can also prove this. ”
