Everything was almost ready, and when I finally counted the items and subcontracted them, I remembered that there was one thing missing, maybe it could be used - the compass.

As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, if the Ma Dao people follow us, it may not be particularly difficult to go to Kunlun Mountain to find Kunlun Ruins, but just a few of us... It's better to have a compass.

It's just that it's all dark now, and the shops are closed one after another, and it's not easy to get a compass.

We wanted to find a place to live first, bright again, but now the management of the inn industry is also strict, but whenever you enter a store, you have to register your identity certificate, my card does not dare to use, Buddha Hui, Hu Qi Niang and no such thing, still can't live.

Fortunately, we bought a lot of camping equipment this time, and I guess we can get used to the feeling of using the ground as a bed in advance tonight.

It didn't take long for us to leave the city and set up camp on a hillside where no one could pass.

Lying in the bed, I now realize how painful it is to be an unlaw-abiding citizen, with my current status, in addition to not being able to stay, I can't take a carriage, and I can't drive the road and encounter inspections. Therefore, it is estimated that such a far place can only be passed by Ye Lin'an's Fu horse all the way.

I fell asleep in a daze. I don't know when, I heard a rhythmic "clang, clang, clang" sound in my ears, which sounded like the sound of a shovel shoveling the ground, which was all too familiar to me.

I got up from the ground, Ye Lin'an had already sat up, watched me get up, and gestured to me.

I thought, and the cat leaned over and looked in the direction the sound came from. Sure enough, not far from us, there were three people digging in the ground. There aren't any lights around here, so they shouldn't have noticed our presence when they came.

Needless to ask, a group of people are digging the ground here in the middle of the night, and they are carrying lasso sacks, isn't this a tomb robber, is it digging sweet potatoes? I said to Ye Lin'an: "Uncle Ye, it seems that this is the master who has come to send us a compass."

Ye Lin'an smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Isn't it?" It really didn't take much effort to get it. ”

We glanced back at Buddha Hui, who was meditating over there, and Hu Qiniang didn't seem to be awake yet. Come to think of it, you don't need to call him, the two of us can handle this matter by ourselves.

Ye Lin'an and I exchanged glances, and quietly touched the three people. Maybe they didn't expect to be attacked suddenly, or maybe the three of them were too vigilant, all three of them were digging the ground, and none of them let go of the wind We all got behind them and didn't notice it.

I knew that Ye Lin'an's skills were better than mine, so I pounced directly, thinking that as long as one ping-pong pong, it would be no problem for him to clean up the other two alone.

However, something strange happened. Everyone who has fought and pong knows that the strength of the fight is not afraid of being big, as long as he hits, he is pressed under the body by a lot of people, just like a mat, and he will not be in much pain.

But this time, I obviously caught the tomb robber in front of me just now, but when I fell to the ground, I fell firmly on the lin, which hurt me so much

Ye Lin'an's situation was similar, after he rushed up, he slammed at the heads of the two people, but it was like hitting the air, knocking himself to the ground.

"Damn, what does that mean?" I stood up as I spoke.

After Ye Lin stabilized his body, he also turned on the oil lamp and took a closer look on the ground, and a slightly decayed woman's face appeared in the broken coffin that had been dug out. Judging by the degree of decomposition and the coffin, this is a very new corpse.

Someone must have been here just now, otherwise she wouldn't have become like this herself. I'm a little hairy, I can't just look away.

Just when I was suspicious, Ye Linan leaned over and picked up two cards from the ground. I took a closer look, and both were cut into human shapes.

Ye Lin'an looked at it, "It seems that we have met a master, using magic to manipulate paper people to steal corpses."

"Paper man?" I looked at the ground, and it was true, where I had just fallen to the ground, there was a paper figure with a hoe in his hand. What's going on...

Ye Linan took the paper figure from my hand, and the three of them were stacked together and torn in half: "There has always been a bad habit of stealing corpses with ** in this area, I don't know which door sent such a shameless thing, using paper to pick up corpses, and now even the labor fee is waived."

"Is he around there?" I asked Ye Lin'an.

"No. If he was nearby, I was afraid that he would have to manipulate the paper man to deal with us just now, and it would be impossible to eliminate it so easily. The compass is no play, they are not robbing ancient tombs, and they don't need that thing at all to rob corpses. It doesn't matter, there is an antique street nearby, there should be a lot of antique shops there, and it shouldn't be difficult to find them in the past. ”

I nodded, and looked again at the female corpse in the pit on the ground, when she died... I should be in my twenties, I don't know why I ended my life, and I don't know why my family would be buried here alone with a coffin, and there were so many incidents.

I asked Ye Lin'an: "Uncle Ye, what should I do with this female corpse?" You can't just hang it here, can you? ”

Ye Lin'an: "Alas, if we fill in the soil, it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness." Besides, when we're gone, no one will be able to hold on. ”

Indeed, this method of controlling paper figures to break the law and commit crimes is almost zero cost, and if we don't encounter it, there is no way to stop it.

We went back to where we had slept, took the steel shovel out of our equipment, assembled it, and went to fill the coffin for the female corpse.

At this time, a lot of maggots also crawled from under the coffin to the face of the corpse, maybe it came out to "breathe"? Anyway, the twisting and tilting of the body made me disgusting

On this night, the moon is really dark and the wind is high. It may be the middle of the night, and I don't think these people are here with me, I don't think I have the courage to stay here with a female corpse.

However, we were helping the female corpse's coffin to be refilled, and I don't know if I was hallucinating, when the female corpse in the coffin, whose face had been half-covered by dirt, suddenly opened her mouth and said two words to us both in a hoarse voice: "Hurry up!"

This frightened me so much that I almost threw away the shovel in my hand and sat on the ground. Ye Lin'an was also taken aback, but he quickly calmed down, looked around, and pulled me away.

I didn't even react, and before I looked back to see if the female corpse had gotten up and chased after me, he had already been pulled to the camp.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and pack your things!" Ye Lin'an looked at me, and his tone was quite urgent. I was a little relieved, so I picked up the quilt on the ground and stuffed it into the package.

Buddha Hui and Hu Qiniang didn't know what was going on when they saw us in a hurry, and looked at us strangely.

When we were about to pack our things, there were already sporadic oil lamps and torches lit up at the bottom of the hillside, and we could faintly hear the voices of some people.

Is this? Be...

My first reaction was the officer, what we did just now looked no different from exhuming the body from a distance, maybe someone found it and called the police, right?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up the movement of my hand and stuffed the rest of the things into the package haphazardly.

At this time, the people underground came closer, good fellows, not a few people, there were more than two dozen people before, but they were in the light and we were in the dark, and they did not find us for a while.

I looked at them a little more and saw that they were not servants dressed in the system, but peasants with ploughing in their hands, and they were not of any age. Seeing this, I basically understood what was going on.

Ye Linan also said: "Damn, I was sued by the wicked first, it seems that the guy who stole the corpse found out that he didn't succeed, so he went to the village to inform the villagers." It's good that just now..."

"It seems that the female corpse has returned to help us, let's go, we will be found a little closer."

Ye Lin'an summoned the Fu Ma without hesitation, and I and Fo Hui immediately followed, and Hu Qiniang still lay firmly in his arms.

With the sound of horses' hooves, we became farther and farther away from the oil lights. Thinking about it, this is also a good thing, maybe the family found out about this situation and decided to take the woman away and bury it somewhere else, or also remind the villagers that there is a gang of corpse thieves here, and the guards can be strengthened anyway.

After running a long distance, and making sure that this distance was no longer something they could catch up, we dismounted again and rested.

Out of concern just now, I scanned around to make sure there were no graves or anything like that around before I lay down to sleep.

The next morning, I was woken up by the chirping of birds overhead.

After entering the city and having breakfast, we went straight to Ye Lin'an's antique street yesterday.

This kind of street market is not uncommon everywhere, but real antiques are quite rare. After decades of selection, the opportunity to pick up the leak is even more unavoidable. But this does not affect the popularity of some people in it, and some people like to make a handicraft here, and go back to vassal elegance.

Just like Ye Lin'an, here, it is not difficult to find a shop that sells compasses, and not far from entering, we found a business that focuses on "feng shui".

Walk in the door and take a look, there are all kinds of gossip mirrors on the counter, five emperor money, stone dang, golden toad, cornucopia, seven-star gourd, and jade ruyi.

The old shopkeeper looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a simple way, like an old man from the previous dynasty, lying on a chaise longue in the open yard behind him basking in the sun. Hearing us enter the door, he picked up a pair of glasses from the side and put them on his face, and smiled kindly at us.
