"Where's the location?" Shimamoto Muneyoshi, who was walking in front, turned his head and asked Ye Da, who was escorted by the military police, next to him.

Ye Da took the compass to identify the location, and then pointed to a big stone in front of him and said, "That stone, that." ”

"Stones?" Shimamoto looked at the stone suspiciously, "Is there anything strange about that stone?" ”

Ye Da replied angrily: "How do I know, let's go up and have a look." ”

Tada Shoichi stood next to the stone and watched Hada who walked around the stone several times, while Shimamoto Muneyoshi carefully shone a flashlight on the stone and did not find anything unusual.

Ye Da finally stopped, and at the same time glanced around, according to what Yan Liuyan brought to Tang Qianlin, at this time, Li Yunfan's family should be nearby, and after he got the things, he had to find a way to give them after replacing them.

"Hey-" Shimamoto Muneyoshi glared at Ye Da, "what the hell should I do?" ”

Ye Da pointed to the bottom of the stone: "Dig, dig deep." ”

Shimamoto said, "Then don't do it." ”

Ye Dadao: "I'm digging? ”

Tada Shoichi beckoned to the Egami soldiers next to him at this time: "Dig." ”

The soldiers of the Egami Army squeezed directly out of the way of the Japanese military police in front of the stones, picked up their tools and began to dig.

The people who thought they would find something by digging a little bit were surprised to find that the stone was at least several meters deep into the ground, but looking at the way the stone was exposed to the soil, it shouldn't be like this.

Ye Da stepped forward and looked at the stone carefully, and Shimamoto Zongyi asked beside him, "Do you still want to dig it?" ”

Ye Dadao: "Keep digging." ”

It was as if there were roots growing under the stone, and the soldiers of the Egami Army dug at least nearly four meters before finally stopping, and the soldiers standing below shouted towards it: "Sir, there is a discovery!" ”

When Ye Da heard this, he jumped down directly, and Shimamoto Muneyoshi and Tada Shoichi also jumped down without hesitation, wanting to take a sneak peek.

After the three of them jumped out of the pit, they saw that the place where the soldier had illuminated with a flashlight was the bottom of the stone, and the bottom of the stone was about a meter high and surrounded by irregularly shaped holes, like a beehive.

Could it be a yin bee? Ye Da chuckled in his heart, and subconsciously took a step back, he knew that if it was really the legendary Yin Bee, then there would be trouble tonight.

Shimamoto Muneyoshi motioned to the Egami soldier: "Look at what's inside." ”

Just as the soldier was about to make a move, Ye Da stopped: "Don't move! ”

Shimamoto looked at Ye Da: "What do you want to do?" ”

Ye Dadao: "There are some things that can't be moved, I'll explain it to you, you don't understand, untie my handcuffs." ”

Shimamoto looked at Ye Da, and Ye Da said, "Do you still want to complete the task?" ”

Shimamoto said, "I can't untie the handcuffs for you. ”

Ye Dadao: "Okay, when I didn't say anything, you can do whatever you want." ”

Ye Da stretched out his hand to let the soldiers outside pull him out, and when Tada saw this, he felt that something was wrong, so he quickly asked the soldiers to pull him up, leaving Shimamoto Muneyoshi and the Egami Army soldier below.

Muneyoshi Shimamoto ordered the soldiers again: "Look at what's inside." ”

Ye Da's previous words made the soldier a little frightened, and Tada Shoichi did not give an order not to allow it, so he had to tremble and put his hand into the largest hole, groped for a long time, and found a hard thing, and after taking it out, he found that it was a pale yellow stone with a smooth surface.

Shimamoto looked at the thing: "Amber? ”

Ye Da squatted above and watched, "That's not amber, that's a yin bee egg." ”

Shimamoto Muneyoshi wondered: "Yin bee eggs? What is it? ”

Ye Da pointed below and said, "You let him touch the biggest hole to see what else is inside." ”

Shimamoto Muneyoshi motioned to the soldier, and the soldier reached out and touched it, and after touching it for a long time, he took out countless Yin bee eggs, but finally took out a turquoise thing from it, and by the light, it looked like a lantern.

Shoichi Tada jumped down again: "Lantern? ”

Shimamoto Zongyi looked at Ye Da: "Come down, is this what we are looking for?" ”

It should be this thing. Ye Da thought so in his heart, and at the same time recalled the irregular grooves on the cellar dark room, judging from the size of the grooves, it was not this lantern to go up, it seemed that he could only take the risk of finding it himself.

Ye Da jumped into the pit, put on gloves, and went into the hole to touch for a while, and after touching for a long time, he found nothing other than the Yin bee eggs, and he was even more sure that the thing he was going to find was the lantern.

Shimamoto looked at the heavy lantern in his hand: "What kind of lantern is this?" How is it made of metal? ”

Tada Shoichi is a little insightful: "This is bronze." ”

"He's right, it's bronze, and this thing is called a ghost vessel, also called a Ming vessel." Ye Da took the bronze lantern in Shimamoto Zongyi's hand, "In our ancient China, burial items are usually divided into two kinds, one is called living vessels, or sacrificial vessels, these things are all utensils owned by the deceased before their death, and the other is called Ming vessels, also known as ghost vessels, which refer to utensils designed and manufactured for the deceased. ”

As Ye Da spoke, his hand groped on the bronze lantern, and when he got closer, he smelled a sweet smell, he suddenly understood something, and while his hand reached into the bottom of the lantern, he grabbed the soft ball in the lantern, and replaced it with the night pearl hidden in his sleeve.

When Ye Da's hand holding the Night Pearl was slowly taken out from the bottom of the lantern, the light of the Night Pearl immediately illuminated the entire mud pit, and immediately attracted the attention of Shimamoto Soyoshi and Tada Shoichi.

Ye Da also took the opportunity to hide the ball, and then handed the Night Pearl directly to Shimamoto Muneyoshi.

The light of the night pearl shone directly from the pit, and even Li Qingxiang and the others who were hiding in the woods in the distance could see it clearly.

Ye Feng raised his eyes and looked: "What is flashing?" ”

Li Yunfan said: "It looks like something like a night pearl emanating from it." ”

"It seems that Yi Mochen has turned out all his family wealth for the sake of the Shaman Spirit Palace." Li Qingxiang looked on tiptoe, "He must have replaced the found thing with the night pearl of the Han Dynasty in the family heirloom, it is a treasure, I wanted to look at it twice and he refused, it was really bloody." ”

Li Yunfan asked: "But what did Ye Da find here?" ”

Shimamoto Muneyoshi looked at the night pearl in his hand, and his attention was completely attracted.

Tada Zhengyi looked at the yin bee eggs on the ground suspiciously, and asked Ye Da coldly: "What are these things?" What does it have to do with this lantern and the pearl of the night? ”

Ye Da knew very well that if he didn't make up a suitable lie, he would still be discovered by these cunning Japanese.

Ye Da explained: "The Yin Bee is a legendary thing, in other words, it is the incarnation of the guide of the underworld, in some shamanisms, it is believed that after death, to go to the underworld, someone must guide the way, and the messenger who guides the way is the Yin bee, but in fact there is no such thing, so after death, this kind of lantern is buried, and the so-called Yin Bee is replaced by a night pearl, in short, it is like this." ”

This ingenious lie deceived Shoichi Tada, and while his attention was on the Night Pearl again, Shimamoto Muneyoshi held the Night Pearl tightly and put it in his pocket.

Seeing this, Tada just smiled and didn't say anything else.

"Maybe something else." Shimamoto Muneyoshi commanded the soldiers, "Keep looking below." ”

After Ye Da was pulled up the tunnel by the soldiers, he stood there deliberately stretching his waist, and said loudly at the same time: "I can be regarded as having found it." ”

Ye Da deliberately made a sound to remind Yefeng and the others who were in the distance.

Yefeng looked at Ye Da who was standing there: "It's a signal, but how do we get there?" ”

Li Yunfan picked up a stone: "The kung fu that Bei Zihong taught me can finally be used." ”

Saying that, Li Yunfan threw it directly with a stone, and after Ye Da was hit by a stone, he immediately knew that it was Li Yunfan, but he only identified the approximate location, and after Ye Da was hit by the second stone, he finally clarified the direction, and then carefully took out the round ball with the fragrance and threw it in the direction where the stone was thrown.

Li Yunfan was behind the tree, his eyes were quick, he took the thing, and the moment he held it, he felt soft, and immediately took it to Yefeng and Li Qingxiang, and looked at it carefully in the faint light: "Mud? ”

Yefeng frowned and looked: "How can it be a lump of mud?" ”

Li Yunfan smelled: "It's still so fragrant?" It's like honey. ”

Li Qingxiang took the mud ball and sniffed it carefully: "This is not mud, this is yin honey, also known as honey mud, this is a rare thing, it seems that there is a ghost lamp hidden under the stone to guide the way." ”

Hearing this, Yefeng said, "You mean, there are yin bees there?" ”

Li Yunfan wondered: "Dad, mother, what is a yin bee?" ”

Yefeng said: "In the Western Han Dynasty, it is said that after a person dies, he needs a messenger from the underworld to guide him to the underworld, otherwise he will get lost at the junction of yin and yang, and the incarnation of the messenger of the underworld is the legendary yin bee, in fact, the yin bee should be a firefly found in ancient times." ”

Li Qingxiang continued: "After the myth of fireflies, and the lanterns in the Western Han Dynasty, some of the burial goods were placed with bronze lanterns, and the so-called yin honey was put into the lanterns, in order to attract yin bees to come to the Ming lanterns, light the lanterns for the deceased, and guide the way to the underworld." ”

Li Yunfan nodded and said, "However, since the Yin Bee is the so-called firefly, how did the Yin Honey come from?" Fireflies don't make honey. ”

Li Qingxiang continued to explain: "Some Taoist classics record such things as yin bees, judging from the description, it should not be fireflies, but no one has ever seen it alive. But Yin honey is indeed a precious medicinal material that must be used in the process of Taoist alchemy, Yin honey is generally found on the ground, so the legend believes that it is made by Yin bees after collecting flowers on the other side, but later some scholars believe that it should be a special substance formed by combining with a certain mineral after some insect dies underground. ”

Li Yunfan carefully held the yin honey: "This yin honey seems to be able to change its form?" You see, pinch as you like. ”

Li Qingxiang said: "No matter what it is, we have to leave Jiangxin Island first, and then go to the flour mill in Guxiang to wait, otherwise it will be too late, we must arrive before Ye Da." ”

Yefeng and the three of them immediately retreated with Yin Honey, Ye Da saw that there was no movement in the woods, and also judged that Li Yunfan and the others had gotten something, and then followed Shimamoto Muneyoshi and Tada Shoichi, who thought they had completed the task, and returned to the shore.

Shimamoto took the Night Pearl and the bronze lantern, while Tada Shoichi had his men collect all the so-called Yin Bee eggs and keep them in boxes, no matter what they were, he had to give an account to them.
