At first, Qiu Yan said that it was Lao Langzhong, and I thought about it carefully, because I didn't remember what Langzhong was among our acquaintances.

But when Qiu Yan dialed the phone, I suddenly remembered.

All our actions, including the word tiger bone spearhead, came from this old man, who guided all our plans with a few phone calls.

Thinking of this, I quieted down and listened carefully to the conversation between Qiu Yan and Lao Langzhong.

"Hey, Grandpa Chen, hello, I had something to do just now, I didn't get a call, I'm sorry!"

......

"Yes, really! Have you arrived in the provincial capital? ”

......

"Yes, we are in Xiangxi."

......

"You're coming? It's good, it's just too much trouble for you! ”

......

"Okay, you rest first, I'll call the company, and then arrange a car for you, okay, okay, goodbye."

After Qiu Yan hung up the phone, she was silent for a long time, and seemed to be still immersed in shock.

"Qiu Yan, what did Lao Langzhong say? Is he coming to Xiangxi? I asked.

Qiu Yan nodded, but didn't speak.

"Why did he come to Xiangxi?"

Qiu Yan looked ignorant and replied dumbly:

"I said that I came to the provincial capital for something, and I heard that we came to Xiangxi, so I stopped by to have a look."

"Come by and have a look?" I was surprised, "That's a coincidence!" ”

"Yes, I was also thinking, sooner rather than later, he just said he was coming over when we were desperate, and by the way, he also said that I would wait for him, saying that he had something important to tell me."

In fact, I had doubts about this barefoot Langzhong for a long time, until now I can't understand why Qiu Yan's family believes so much in his words, in Qiu Yan's story, this Langzhong always appears at key nodes, and every time he guides, Qiu Yan has gained, including this trip to Xiangxi, although we did not directly find the tiger bone spearhead, but we are also approaching step by step.

Thinking about it, I suddenly thought of another mysterious person, that is, Qiu Yan's ancestor Qiu Yeliang met the mysterious old man in Xiangxi, the word tiger bone spearhead came from his mouth at the beginning, and in the subsequent search for the Qiu family, only this barefoot lang knew the word tiger bone spearhead, I was thinking, there should be no connection between these two old men, right?

At this time, I inadvertently glanced at Long Quan, only to see that he tilted his head to the side, and didn't seem to care about the conversation between me and Qiu Yan at all.

After a while, the boat carried us back to the original place, and the boss hid the boat and smiled at us:

"For the sake of a few very cheerful and well-behaved faces, if you still need to stay in my store, I can waive your meal money!"

I thought to myself that this guy is quite good at business, he must have heard the conversation between me and Qiu Yan, and knew that we need to stay a few more days, and at first glance, he thought that we had taken a big advantage, but he didn't want to think about it, we can go to live in a business hotel outside for two hundred rooms!

But who is Qiu Yan who is not short of money? She just wants to be quiet and quiet at the moment, so that she can sort out her thoughts, so she doesn't have to pay for food, Qiu Yan doesn't care at all.

"Okay, it's quiet in your store, so we'll stay a few more days." Qiu Yan replied to the boss without much thought.

The owner was overjoyed and hummed all the way back to the homestay.

In the next few days, we hardly went out much, and the boss who ate and drank would personally deliver it to the room, and when we were bored, we would play the boss's game console and tease the boss's cats and dogs.

Finally, on the third day, when I couldn't be idle, Qiu Yan said that the person had arrived.

I quickly turned over and got out of bed, followed Qiu Yan and Long Quan downstairs, and then drove to the county seat to pick up people.

When I first saw Lao Langzhong, I even thought he was a retired old cadre, dressed in a neat tunic, a pair of shiny leather shoes, neatly combed white and luxuriant hair, and a pair of brown glasses.

I said in my heart that this is too inconsistent with Lang Zhong's identity, not only does it not match, but walking on the street, this kind of outfit is also particularly eye-catching.

"Are you Grandpa Chen?" Qiu Yan stepped forward and stretched out her right hand.

The old man turned the bag in his hand to his left hand, then held Qiu Yan's hand, and said with a smile:

"It's me, it's me!"

The two sides met for a pleasantry, and then introduced themselves, I learned that the old man's name was Chen Fangyuan, and he did work barefoot in his early years.

I saw that the old man was dressed tightly, and he didn't look like a person who couldn't afford a phone, so I asked him why he was just in contact with Qiu Yan on a one-line basis.

The old man laughed and said:

"I'm ashamed, mainly because I don't want to be disturbed, in fact, my mountain goods business is just one of the sources of income, usually look at feng shui, take the pulse can also earn a little, but these feng shui pulse business I never leave a contact method."

When I heard it, why was this so familiar? Isn't this the same way as my half-grandfather!

So, I used my pitiful knowledge of feng shui to communicate with the old man, but I didn't expect that when it came to feng shui, the people in the car actually had something to say, and even Long Quan, who was usually quiet, could occasionally interject a sentence or two.

But after chatting, I realized that I was really not qualified in feng shui, and Qiu Yan and Old Man Chen talked about me in the clouds.

Seeing that I couldn't interject, I was a little unconvinced, so I talked about the routine of pinching my fingers to find things.

Originally, I just wanted to show that I knew a little bit of feng shui gossip, but as soon as these words came out, the old man immediately turned his head and glared at me and asked:

"You're a corpse catcher?"

I was shocked, and I wondered what this had to do with the corpse chaser. Could it be that this old man Chen also knows about the codex?

I was about to find some excuse to take the topic away, but Qiu Yan asked:

"How do you know he's a corpse chaser?"

I couldn't help but curse in my heart, saying that Qiu Yan, a pig teammate, really couldn't take it.

But since Qiu Yan asked, I'm also quite curious, what does this pinching of the finger find have to do with the corpse chaser.

But the old man did not answer, but continued to ask me:

"Is your surname Huang?"

As soon as these words came out, I was even more stunned, my surname is He, it is my father's surname, and my mother's surname is Li, but the night before I left Lin Feng Farm, the old Lin Tou once told me that the person who went up the mountain with his ancestors was surnamed Huang, and he also said that this person had a tortoise shell and a codex, which means that my grandfather's ancestor was the one surnamed Huang?

I only mentioned this to Qiu Yan alone, and other than that, even my parents didn't know, and I even suspected that my grandfather might not know.

So how did this Chen Fangyuan know?

But this time I stopped Qiu Yan in time and said to the old man:

"Grandpa Chen, my surname is Huang, my surname is He!"

The old man looked at me for a long time before turning around, and muttered:

"How is that possible? Only he can pinch his fingers in the five elements! ”

I watched the old man sitting in the co-pilot and touched his forehead and thought about it for a long time, and finally he seemed to understand something, and suddenly smiled, and then he said to Qiu Yan:

From ancient times to the present, there are many people who call themselves corpse chasers and those who claim to pinch their fingers to find things, but they don't know that the real corpse chasers and the five elements pinching fingers are the essence of the ancient times, where can ordinary people learn it?

Just now I asked this young man if his surname is Huang, in fact, this yellow character is Huang handed down from Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, this Huang surname is a legend that has been passed down by Xuanyuan's true inheritance, and the ability of corpse chasers and five elements to pinch fingers is their family's unique skill.

However, it is rumored that this Huang clan was almost killed in the witch curse that occurred in the Han Dynasty, and the Five Elements Pinching Fingers and the Corpse Chasing Technique also fell silent, and for thousands of years after that, although many people claimed to be corpse chasers, the vast majority of them were liars, even if the remaining small part did know a little, it was only the skin of the real corpse chaser. ”

When the old man said this, he looked back at me again and asked:

"Young man, let me ask you, is your ancestor a corpse chaser?"

I smiled and said:

"Hehe, my ancestor did call himself a corpse chaser, but I think it's just a feng shui master, and I also learned this from my grandfather."

The old man smiled with satisfaction and said:

"That's it, many people think they can call themselves corpse chasers after reading a few books, but they are actually ordinary feng shui masters."

At this time, I saw Qiu Yan in the rearview mirror as if she had something to say, so I quickly winked at her and signaled her not to speak yet.

Now it seems that the old man knows a lot of things, and I thought to myself that it would be better not to expose myself too much until I found out the details of him.

"By the way, Grandpa Chen, how can you know so many things, even in ancient times, Xuanyuan Huang Clan knows?"

The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"Hey, it's just that I read more books and listened to some stories, these things I said are also hearsay, and they can't be true!"

This is perfunctory to anyone, but it is inconvenient for me to ask more at the moment, so I did not pursue it too much.

After that, the old man asked about Qiu Yan's father and the recent situation of her family, and I was bored, so I wanted to talk to Long Quan.

Who knew that when I looked at Long Quan beside me, I found that he was frowning at the moment, and his eyes were staring at the back of Old Man Chen's head motionlessly, as if there was some deep hatred between the two of them.

In this way, we returned to the B&B in a strange atmosphere with a car of four.

After lunch at the boss's house, we went back to our room and got down to business.

Qiu Yan asked the old man if there was anything important to tell him, and the old man put on an expression as if he had suddenly realized, and said:

"Oh, you see, I almost forgot when I was happy, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, this tiger bone spearhead, although it is a spearhead, but it has been passed down for thousands of years, and no one has used it as a weapon for a long time, I thought, since the spearhead has a special role and has a symbol of power, then will this tiger bone spearhead not be inherited between toasts?"

As soon as I heard it, the words were wrong, and it was not passed on between toasts, so what are we doing desperately looking for toast?

So I asked:

"But the scroll we found in the tomb of Wushan Tusi is written like this, and the spear is passed on to his younger brother, isn't it passed on to his cousin Da Worm Keyi?"

The old man pressed his hand at me and said:

"Listen to me, although the spearhead is not held by Toast, but as a holy object, Toast should have the power to decide who is in charge of it."

I wanted to ask again, but Qiu Yan pulled my sleeve and said:

"What Grandpa Chen said is not unreasonable, do you think, who is the most powerful person around Tusi? Is this person more qualified than Toast to be in charge of the tiger bone spearhead? ”

Qiu Yan's words were very clear, and I understood them without thinking about it.

In the Tujia village back then, Tusi could only be regarded as an administrative leader, and they also had a spiritual leader, that is, Tima in the village!
